Community steps up to help after bottles stolen MIKE DAVIES CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Campbell River really comes together when the chips are down, and it showed that community spirit yet again this week.

L ast week, Angie Schoenfelder, an officer with the Campbell River Sea Cadets, put a “rant” on the Campbell River Rant, Rave and Randomness Facebook page, calling out “the person or persons who stole all the bottles from the Campbell River Sea Cadets.”

And the people of Campbell River immediately jumped to action.

The response to the post began with expressions of sadness and anger, but soon evolved into, “We have lots we can donate,” and, “I just

brought in all my empties (and) it came to 80 dollars. I will throw that in.”

Schoenfelder didn’t make the post to try and garner support – she was expecting a more negative response, in fact, knowing what the community on that particular page can be like.

“I was so shocked. It definitely was not what I was anticipating. I was bracing myself for negativity, but it’s amazing that the community stepped up like that. It’s great.”

Candice Castro, secretary of the Navy League Parent Committee, has been on the site since the post, messaging the people who were asking how to donate, and volunteering to have donations picked up.

An assortment of bottles was stolen from the Sea Cadets over the weekend.

“There were a lot of people, too, who said, ‘I want to donate, but I’ll go and sort them and just give them to your account at the bottle depot,’ which was nice that they wanted to make it a little easier on us,” Castro says.

Bottle collection has become one of the organization’s main ways of raising funds over the

years.

“For the longest time we didn’t do bottle drives.

It just wasn’t on our radar,” Shoenfelder says.

“And then a few years ago, we did one, and it was just huge. We probably do four a year now, and it’s our biggest source of funds.”

This particular batch of bottles wasn’t from a

drive, but from one person who had recently donated to the group.

Unfortunately, they were donated on a day when there weren’t cadets around to sort and return them, which was to happen on the weekend.

“Normally we don’t have that many here at one time,” Schoenfelder said, “and it’s kind of sad that we can’t, apparently.

Unfortunately, it’s ‘lesson learned’ on us, I guess.”

The fence of the gated compound at the Navy League Hall is 10 feet tall, topped with three strands of barbed wire, and is locked. The locks were intact when the bottles were found missing, and no holes were found in the fencing, meaning whoever stole them must have climbed over

and back. There were remnants of clear plastic caught on some of the barbs, indicating to the group that the bags had, indeed, been thrown over the fence from the inside.

“Our only hope is that the people who took them really needed them,” Shoenfelder says.

“But these kids need them, too,” adds Castro.

“They work really hard all year, they train all year with the program and they do a ton of fundraising throughout the year to make sure they have a place to meet and train.”

“Fundraising is huge for us,” Schoenfelder says.

“The Sea Cadets program itself is funded by the Department of National Defence, but the local branch is responsible for their own hall, plus any

extras that the cadets want to do.”

As an example, she says, the Campbell River branch is currently saving up to go to Victoria to see CFB Esquimalt – a valuable experience for the corps, but one which isn’t covered by the funding model.

“As it is not a part of the training expectations, it would need to be paid for by the local corps. It has been a few years since we were able to go,” she says.

Anyone interested in donating bottles to the cause can take them to North Island Bottle Depot & Recycling on Maple Street in Campbellton and ask for them to go on the cadets’ account, or contact the group directly at 250287-8689.

Ringham: Behaviour described as ‘creepy’ by judge Continued from Pg. 1

He could have gone with a maximum of four years in prison but, by keeping the jail term to less than two years, could order an additional three years of probation.

“Research on treatment for sexual offender outcomes is not encouraging,” said Doherty. “This sentence will allow him to be monitored for five years.

“The community, I believe, would be outraged if he was given any-

thing less than two years.”

Doherty noted Ringham had several mitigating factors, including the lack of any criminal record, an admission of his guilt and his having entered treatment for alcoholism and psychological issues.

But the judge said the nature of his behaviour, particularly in obtaining keys, the use of portable GPS units and repeated visits to the homes, was ominous and “creepy.”

“The psychiatric report

notes he inflicted psychological damage to the women whose homes he broke into,” Doherty said.

“His targets were objects, but we don’t know how far this would have developed.”

Ringham’s offences at the Holm Road dwelling took place between April and August of 2013. He was already stalking the woman when he saw her pull a key to the home from under a doormat. After she left, he returned to take the key

3x5 laura smith election ad b/w

and make his own copy in an incident Doherty described as “disturbing.”

The woman said she met Ringham in a bar just one time, nearly 10 years earlier, and believes he was stalking her on-and-off for much of that time.

“I haven’t had a good night’s sleep for 21 months,” since his arrest, she said. “I have two

young children, and I can remember a time seeing him parked across the street.”

The break-ins at the Creekside Way residence, where the victim was known to Ringham as a neighbour, occurred between July and November of 2013.

“This is the best-case scenario,” the victim’s

2X2.5 HOME HARDWARE

mother said after the sentence was handed down.

“He’ll be away for five years, basically.”

The sentencing terms included a no-contact order for Ringham with both victims, as well as the Creekside Way victim’s roommate and the woman whose car was broken into. He was also ordered not to possess or

consume alcohol or nonprescription drugs, and to submit to rehabilitation programs as directed by his probation officer.

“I’m very sorry for what I’ve done,” Ringham said in a brief statement to the court.

“I know my behaviour was wrong and harmful, and I take full responsibility.”

New downtown mural brings sea life to Pier Street Many Campbell River locals may not know that there is an aquatic health research laboratory located in downtown Campbell River.

The BC Centre for Aquatic Health Sciences (BC CAHS) would like to change that.

BC CAHS is thrilled to announce that funding has been secured for the painting of the Discovery Passage Mural in downtown Campbell River.

When complete, the 550 square foot mural will span the curved wall of the building at 871 Island Highway located along Pier Street in the Sesame Sushi building.

BC CAHS’s laboratory has been located on the main floor of the building since 2008.

“The Discovery Passage Mural will be a stunning visual representation of the aquatic life that inhabits the local ocean and also can be used as an educational tool for awareness of what is living beneath the ocean’s surface,” said Jim Powell, CEO of the BC Centre for Aquatic Health Services.

Being a most prominent façade at the entrance to the Campbell River downtown, the Discover y Passage Mural would add immeasurably to a visitor’s impression of the city known as the “Salmon Capital of the World” and also would make this building a welcome landmark in the city.

The theme and subject of the mural is aimed at strengthening and bolstering the presence of the docks, Maritime Heritage Centre and the Discovery Passage Aquarium.

The mural will tie into the local neighbourhood design and the existing mural artwork that is already on Pier Street.

J. Alex Witcombe and Nick Hutton-Jay of Flywheel Studios will be painting the mural over the next couple of weeks.

Witcombe’s artwork is already located around Campbell River.

L a st su m me r he worked on the mural at Mussels & More Pottery.

As well, his artwork is displayed in Spirit Square.

BC CAHS is especially proud that its

Marine Harvest Canada, Pallan Group, Pier Street Association, Skretting North America and the general public.

The Centre for Aquatic Health Sciences exists to advance understanding of British Columbia’s aquatic resources by addressing issues of aquatic animal health and welfare, production and aquatic food safety, thereby facilitating the economic, social and environmental sustainability of British Columbia’s aquatic based resource industries and increasing research and service capacity in rural and coastal communities.

BC CAHS is a not-forprofit society located in Campbell River and is the only aquatic research facility of its kind in the province.

For more information, visit www.cahs-bc.ca or see the Mirror’s upcoming edition of Wave magazine.

An artist’s rendering shows what a new mural downtown will look like once completed.

2015 Downtown Façade Improvement Grant application was successful. Without this funding from the City of Campbell River, the existing funding for the mural

would not be enough for the mural completion.

Other funders of the Discovery Passage Mural include the Discovery Passage Sea Life Society, Grieg Seafood BC Ltd.,

Our View

Gun violence society’s problem

Letters

No ill will intended

We are writing in response to the comments made by Christine Ashcroft in the paper on Friday, Aug. 21 with regards to our recent bottle drive.

It is unfortunate that a fundraising event was marred by a misunderstanding that had no ill intent. Any comments made were not meant to be malicious and there was no intention to create any discontent or conflict.

This issue has nothing to do with the Team Canada dancers from Campbell River. They do not take anything for granted, greatly appreciate all the support they have received, and know their success is backed by our fantastic community.

These kids work extremely hard and will proudly represent Canada in Italy.

Lightkeepers prove their worth Once again the federal government’s decision to keep lighthouses staffed has proved invaluable.

On Sunday, a lightkeeper st at i one d at E nt r anc e Island, which is located near Nanaimo, helped save the lives of two kayakers in distress.

The lightkeeper swam from Entrance Island to a small island nearby where the two kayakers had managed to get to shore, cold and exhausted, and were waiting to be rescued.

The lightkeeper then managed to transport the male and female kayaker to Entrance Island where the pair were given dry clothes and warmth.

Why did the lightkeeper have to swim to the kayakers, you may ask?

According to the lightkeeper, the lightstation’s boat was in Victoria for repairs, with obviously no replacement vessel to be had.

Which shows just how much value the Coast Guard places on lightkeepers and

TAMMY ALISTAIR ROBINSON TAYLOR

COMMENT Kristen Douglas

The on-air shootings in Virginia that left television news reporter Alison Parker and cameraman Adam Ward dead, and interview subject Vicki Gardner wounded, cannot be avoided.

Unwitting viewers of their station were suddenly eyewitnesses last week to an appalling, cold-blooded crime, when all they thought they were watching was an innocuous interview on tourism.

While major news outlets exercised some restraint, the spread of social media – and the consequent ease with which we can access images – has ensured that many of us were also eyewitnesses to murder, without much choice.

In many ways, the very availability of such sickening imagery is a reminder that we can’t turn a blind eye to a plague of violence that afflicts all of us, no matter where in the world we live. It is a fact of life, and we are not cushioned by distance or comforting notions that, terrible as it may be, it is someone else’s problem.

There is another fact of life – brought to us vividly by this tragedy – that cannot be avoided.

When gunman Vester Lee Flanagan took video of himself as he took aim at his victims Wednesday, he bore witness to a simple truth. He reaffirmed that guns are deadly weapons, capable of ending lives in a matter of seconds.

Believing himself to be a victim of systemic racism, he had legally purchased the pistol, and the hollow-point ammunition. It is easy to point fingers at our neighbours to the south and urge them to adopt more stringent gun controls. But at the same time, we cannot claim a holier-than-thou attitude. We cannot claim that gun violence has never intruded here. And the Virginia tragedy poses questions that none of us can hide from. Can we truly know what’s going on in other people’s heads? Can we recognize when anger has reached a flash-point? Would we trust our gun-carrying neighbour to protect us – or would we suspect that some day, that same weapon might be used to victimize us?

sof the world and the ability for conditions to change on a dime, it’s important to have lightkeepers at the helm.

And there’s a reason that lightstations are where they are; they’re typically located off the shores of some of the most treacherous waters in the world and help navigate mariners around pieces of land that may not be visible to the naked eye.

It’s only natural that boaters may run into trouble in those very areas where lightkeepers are stationed.

With today’s innovative technology and computer systems, the argument can be made for automated lightstations but it’s a weak one.

I still believe computers cannot take the place of humans and, in particular, those humans who provide a valuable, life-saving service.

Until we have robots that can detect mariners who are in trouble and send out signals to deploy rescue boats, we need to support our lightkeepers.

Greenways rescues salmon habitat J.R. RARDON CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A man-made stream system created 16 years ago to help salmon was undone by the vagaries of nature. Last week, the men returned.

Using excavators, chainsaws and good old elbow grease, a group of volunteers and contractors worked last Tuesday to re-establish the west branch of Kingfisher Creek above its confluence of the Campbell River.

The project was organized by Greenways Land Trust, which received more than $30,000 in grant funding from the Campbell River Salmon Foundation and Fisheries and Oceans’ Recreational Fisheries Conservation Partnership Program.

“As an organization, we knew there were some issues with the

creek, based on what the Streamkeepers were telling us,” said Cynthia Bendickson of Greenways. “Both of our funding partners thought it was a great project and got on board.”

Kingfisher Creek, which trickles into the Campbell River near the Haig Brown Heritage House just west of the Highway 19 bridge, historically boasted populations of coho, pink and chum salmon.

But by the 1960s, the natural stream had been culverted over its last kilometre.

Roderick Haig-Brown dreamed of restoring what was then known as Kingfisher Brook, but died before the dream was realized.

T h e Ha i g - B row n Kingfisher Creek Society was formed and, in 1999, restored the east and west branches of the creek with support

from the City of Campbell River and Sequoia Springs West Development.

The two man-made channels proved to be a temporary solution.

“It stopped working,” Greenways Land Trust director Chuck DeSorcy

said while helping dig out a new streambed in the west channel Tuesday. “Beavers dammed the east branch and it overflowed toward the west branch, creating a wetlands in the middle that wasn’t there before.

The natural streambed

upstream is still flowing, but when the water gets down here it just kind of bleeds off into the wetland.”

As a result, water flow in the dry sum-

mer months stopped reaching the Campbell River and left small fish stranded in diminishing pools.

Wo r k l a s t w e e k involved carving a new streambed in the west channel, complete with pools, twists and large rocks tucked away in strategic spots along the bank. The channel was to be connected to the existing stream above the wetlands to provide for a steady flow of water.

“In the summer, when there is no rain and low (water) flows, the water doesn’t even reach the lower channel,” said DeSorcy. “If we can keep some water in here, we get a chance to keep any fish that are in there alive.”

DeSorcy said Kingfisher Creek serves as

spawning habitat for both coho and pink salmon, and as a refuge for small coho, pink and chum fry to escape the churning waters of the Campbell River when its flow is heavy.

“When it’s finished, this gives us more than a kilometre of fish habitat,” he said.

DeSorcy and volunteer Mark Savage were joined in the thick brush along the stream Aug. 25 by equipment operator Loic Hersco of TLC Stonework.

The excavators were contracted, but Hersco joked he is providing a “good karma discount” to Greenways.

For Savage, the project was a labour of love for a longtime resident who has grown up with the changes wrought upon Kingfisher Creek.

Conservation officer suspended for not killing cubs reassigned J.R. RARDON CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A Conservation Officer suspended on North Vancouver Island after refusing to destroy a pair of bear cubs is back at work.

Apparently he’s not happy about it.

Bryce Casavant of Port McNeill, suspended by the Conservation Officer Service (COS) in July, has been transferred to a position with the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, where he began work Friday.

The BC Government and Service Employees Union (BCGEU), which filed a grievance following his suspension, is filing a second grievance in the wake of what it calls his “disciplinary transfer” from the COS. “He did not ask for the transfer,” said Stephanie Smith, communications director with BCGEU. “We b elie ve t he transfer is disciplinary because it’s taking him away from his chosen career path.”

Shane Edwardson, spokesperson for the provincial government’s Public Service Agency, said employeremployee confidential-

ity prevented him from discussing details of the case.

But he disagreed with the union’s view.

“What I can say is that no employee in this case has been subject to disciplinary action,” said Edwardson.

“The Public Service Agency conducted a review, separate and distinct from the Conservation Officer Service, and the decision that resulted was to reassign the employee to another position in government service.”

Casavant will receive the same pay and benefits he was getting in his previous position,

Edwardson said.

“We do value all contributions of all employees,” he said.

“We offer assistance as they make the transition to their new role.”

Casavant has declined to speak with the media since the initial BCGEU grievance was filed.

He could not be reached for comment for this story.

Casavant made international headlines in July when he opposed orders to destroy two nursing black bears after their mother was put down for raiding meat from a freezer in an enclosed porch of a Port Hardy-area home.

After he instead submitted the cubs for a rehabilitation assessment, he was suspended from the CO service without pay, a move that sparked a firestorm of protest.

Even as the BCGEU filed a grievance, supporters in the tens of thousands signed an online petition to Environment Minister Mary Polack demanding his reinstatement.

Within a week of the suspension, the Public Service Agency relented and restored his pay, but he remained on suspension until his reassignment last week.

“We were trying to

release as yearlings in 2016 was based in part on information from the property owner in Port Hardy “that suggests the cubs were less, or not, conditioned to human food and presence than first reported,” said Vivian Thomas, communications director with the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources Operations.

Which was essentially the decision Casavant reached in the field, leading to his current trouble.

“It’s a positive outcome for the cubs, and we’re going to continue to seek a positive outcome for our member,” Smith said.

achieve a settlement,” Smith said of the original grievance.

“We were surprised and disappointed to hear about the transfer, and he is disappointed.

He loved his work as a conservation officer.”

Ironically, on the day Casavant was returned to active duty, his new department announced the two cubs he rescued, since named Athena and Jordan, do indeed qualify for rehabilitation and return to the wild.

Since their initial assessment at the North Island Veterinary Clinic in Port Hardy, they have been cared for at the North Island Wildlife Recovery Centre in Errington.

Coachman serves up jazz F orbidden Jazz headlines the Royal Coachman Pub this Sunday afternoon.

Featuring Jake Masri on trumpet, flugelhorn, and vocals, Michael Eddy on keyboard, Grahame Edwards on bass, and Tom Tinsley on drums/vibes, these seasoned musicians will appeal to audiences of all ages by showcasing a wide variety of timeless jazz standards plus originals.

Representing more than four decades of experience, their unique blend of voice, brass, and strings will weave their collective magic through three sets of entertaining music.

Ke y b o ard master Michael Eddy is one of the hardest working and sought after pianists in the Comox Valley.

Although relatively new to the area, he has been fortunate enough to collaborate with many fantastic musicians over the past few years, including those in the Lensmen, Jazztet, SwingStreet, DMN, and the CR Big Band.

During a long and distinguished career, he has performed with a multitude of groups and was Musical Director for Keyano College Theatre in Fort McMurray for ten years.

Talented multi instrumentalist Grahame Edwards, aside from both acoustic and electric bass, also plays percussion and trumpet.

He has appeared with countless local ensembles and productions in every genre from choral to musical theatre, big band jazz to classical. His first musical love, however, lies with improvised music and he enjoys playing and composing his own jazz tunes. In addition to performing, Edwards has taught both privately and in School District 72, and enjoys sharing his music by conducting workshops and clinics.

Joining the trio on vibes and drums is Tom Tinsley.

The Ripple Rockets Square Dance group is celebrating Square Dance Awareness Week with two free dance classes.

Jake Masri, along with the rest of the Forbidden Jazz ensemble, will play at the Coachman Pub this Sunday afternoon.

Don’t remind him he has played percussion for almost half a century, because deep inside he still feels like a teenager.

In addition to teaching drums at various points in his life, Tinsley has appeared in a variety of groups performing genres of music such as Jazz, Rock, Latin, Pop, Big Band, Musical Theatre, Symphonic (with Vancouver Symphony Orchestra), Choral, and Modern Dance. Aside from drums, his passion remains the vibraphone (played with four mallets), both as a solo instrument and in small group settings.

No stranger to the local music scene, Jake

Masri draws his inspiration from classical repertoire to musical theatre to Afro-Cuban/ New Orleans, and Bebop styles.

His passion for jazz is directly linked to artists such as Herb Alpert, Miles Davis, Chet Baker, and Arturo Sandoval.

Masri studied trumpet with Boyd Hood, Gerald Gerbrecht, and trombonist Dave Robbins.

His studies in jazz exposed him to pros such as Mike Herriot, Bill Clarke, and Hugh Fraser during the local CYMC summer program. Since moving to Comox in 2002, Masri has appeared with Quintessence Brass,

6th Street, Jazztown, and Jazz Noir combos, Sounds of 17, Georgia Straight, Arrowsmith, CR Big Bands, Zandhunga and Luzna Latin Bands, Strathcona Symphony Orchestra, and Just in Time Jazz Choir.

The Coachman invites you to join in a casual, entertaining afternoon of jazz. Music begins at 1 p.m. and admission is by donation.

The licensed kitchen will offer a lunch menu of chef inspired cuisine along with a wide selection of beverages.

For more information contact the Royal Coachman Pub at 250 286-0231, or simply drop by 84 Dogwood Street.

Swing yer partner B .C. has declared that Sept. 13 to 19 shall be known as Square and Round Dance Awareness Week because of its popularity across the province.

Most clubs in the province offer two free introductory square dance classes at that time and in Campell River, the Ripple Rockets Square Dance Club is offering a free class on Monday, Sept. 14 and on Sept. 21 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Eagles Hall (1999 14th Ave.)

T h e b e n e f it s of square dancing are huge, including getting a mental and physical workout while making new friends and having fun.

Square dancing is a low-impact exercise that improves muscle tone, bone density, balance, coordination, memory skills and reduces stress.

Exercise doesn’t feel like exercise when it’s done on the dance floor.

The music for square dancing has changed over the years. Modern square dancing is set to

music ranging from pop to Broadway musical to contemporary country music, even rock.

The attire has changed as well. It’s all casual wear at beginner lessons.After that it’s up to you.

Square dancing is a very social activity.

Singles and couples are welcome. The dancing itself is a mixer. It is a great way to make new friends in a healthy social environment.

AMPBELLTON Neighbourhood AssociAtioN

www.CampbellRiverMirror.com

We’ve got what you need!

CAMPBELLTON

MOTI willing to work with CNA and City on 14th Street entrance feature project

There are seven road entrances to Campbell River, with four in Campbellton and the fifth - Willis Road - running through Campbellton via Petersen Road. Each of those seven entrances has different attributes, especially different volumes of the various types of vehicles. The design and operation of those entrances involves both civic and provincial authorities, which means making changes to them is not always a simple matter.

Recently the Campbellton neighbourhood has been seeing some improvements in its main access roads, notably the new traffic lights at 14th and Petersen that after about a year in service now seem to have succeeded in calming traffic.

As this was being written the City has another related and welcome traffic improvement underway on Petersen Road with a road-widening on the hill going up to where it connects with Old Petersen Road, which appears to be a recognition that there is increasing use of Petersen perhaps as an alternate entrance from the Island Highway to the city's downtown and/or because of increased traffic to and from the new developments at Quinsam Crossing, notably B.C. Hydro's facilities.

parcel of land between the north and southbound lanes of the new highway (aka Tamarac and Willow streets within the city) and fronting on the northwest end of 14th Avenue.

While it will still take some time to raise funds and apply for grants to buy the plane and develop a site layout for the parcel, preliminary studies have shown there is plenty of room there for not only the float plane and a parking lot but also signage, maybe a picnic area and potentially even a new visitor information centre.

So that raises the prospect of the City soon deciding to rejuvenate the 14th Avenue entrance to Campbell River, which arguably is long overdue and would appear to be a good candidate for inclusion in next year's budget, if not sooner.

The Campbellton Neighbourhood Association and others have long been lobbying for safety and capacity improvements on Petersen Road so it will be interesting to see how these changes work out in practice, especially for pedestrians and cyclists, but with the roadbed being so narrow on the twisty hill it likely will never be more than a two-lane road until a major rerouting of the roadbed is done (such as down into and through the School District works yard).

So clearly the main challenges are still how to improve the existing main access roads running through Campbellton, namely 14th Avenue (which for northbound traffic on the Island Highway (Hwy. 19) and for traffic from the airport is the first and closest or fastest route to downtown), 15th Avenue which is small and residential-oriented (and site of the new community garden) and thus not suited to heavy traffic, 16th which is already wide and designated for through traffic and handles lots of trucks and other large vehicles, and finally Highway 19A, the old original Island Highway that bends through the oftencongested old commercial heart of Campbellton and on out along the river past HaigBrown House and up to the dam and Elk Falls park and westward on to the Campbell lakes.

That 19A road of course also intersects with the new Island Highway 19 heading north and south and as such is intended to handle the bulk of traffic, be it logging trucks, transport trucks, tourist trailers, boat trailers and of course ordinary car commuters plus commercial and tourist vehicles and many other modes of modern transport.

The Highway 19 and 19A intersections are now dominated by gas stations and a large vacant field and apparently it will take several years to plan any improvements there but meanwhile there is good news on the 14th Avenue entrance, which arguably is the most urgent anyway because it carries a lot of traffic and has seen the fewest improvements in recent decades. Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure officials have recently advised the CNA and the City that they have assessed the CNA's proposal for an "entrance feature" at 14th and Highway 19 and that MOTI will be able to proceed with it through a permit process and not require a lease agreement.

"This is good news," says CNA chair Brian Shaw, thanking MOTI operations manager Angie Allwood for her work on it and expressing eagerness to start promoting the entrance feature proposal in earnest, which the CNA has had in mind for most of its four years in existence.

The CNA proposal, which will be presented to Council in October, involves the City and the CNA acquiring a retired Beaver float plane and mounting it on a pedestal on the vacant

"If we do this right the 14th Avenue entrance could become a showpiece for the whole city to be proud of," says Shaw, noting it would have numerous spinoff benefits. He can be reached about it at 250-287-8807 or brianthepiper@gmail.com .

Kudos to Kermit The Campbellton Neighbourhood Association is pleased to congratulate Kermit Dahl, owner of Associated Tire and Auto in Campbellton, on his recent winning of the Campbell River Chamber of Commerce Board of Governors Award for 2015.

The award was announced recently in the Mirror and featured a photo of him with Chamber chair Corby Lamb, owner of Capacity Forest Management, which also is based in Campbellton.

The chamber announcement noted that Mr. Dahl was being honoured for his outstanding record of community service, especially providing the company's large mobile barbecue to a variety of community events, which also was mentioned in this column's recent items

Adele Frei

Nov. 10, 1929 - Aug. 23, 2015 Adele passed away peacefully on Sunday, August 23, 2015 at the age of 85 years.

She is survived by her loving husband Charlie of 53 years, daughter Liliane (Ron) Hoffmann, granddaughter Nicole and greatgranddaughter Isabella.

Adele had a wonderful, outgoing personality with which she met numerous acquaintances and long lasting friends over the years.

Her family would like to thank Lisa and Erwin Portmann for all their help, support and many visits.

A special thank you also to Wendie for lifting Mom’s spirits on many occasions.

No service by request.

LOST AND FOUND LOST. Sage 11 foot, 4 piece, Z-axis fly rod and reel on August 18th near parking lot at the intersection of John Hart Road and Gold River Road.

Contact: 250-390-1695. Reward offered.

Nash, Patrick Brian March 22, 1964-September 2, 1982

The Broken Chain: We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name, in life we loved you dearly; in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you; you did not go alone, for part of us went with you, the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories; your love is still our guide and though we cannot see you, you are always at our side.

Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same, but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

Always loved, always remembered, Mom, Dad, Dan, Laurel and family

GOLF Weekly What is it about golf?

Mike Davies, Campbell River Mirror

I hounded my dad for a long time to bring me with him when he went golfing with his friends. I didn’t know what they were doing, exactly, when they ran off for a few hours on the weekend, but based on what golf looked like on TV, I thought it would be fun.

Eventually he gave in and bought a cheap set of junior clubs for me out of the Sears catalogue and stuck them in an old bag (probably picked up at some garage sale), and brought me along.

I grew up in Southwest Saskatchewan. We played golf in what were basically dead fields that couldn’t grow anything but sparse tufts of grass. Whoever owned those fields had brought in some sand to spread into circles, a few golf pins and cups to put in the middle of those circles of sand, and put a box up on a fencepost in which people would put their green fees before playing.

That was it.

It wasn’t like what we watched on TV. I admit to being a bit disappointed the first time I went.

But I was also confused.

“What’s keeping people from just playing without putting any money in the box?” I asked my dad, genuinely confused about why he was putting a few bills in the box when there was nobody around to make sure he did so.

The answer has stuck with me. I don’t remember the exact words he used, but that’s not important.

He said, more or less, that it’s what you when nobody is watching that make you who you are, and it’s important to be honest. When you use someone’s golf course, you pay them for the privilege, whether you have to or not.

“But it’s an empty field with some flags stuck in the ground.”

It didn’t matter. It was the right thing to do.

That was my first experience – at least the first one I remember – with ethics.

Golf is responsible for the first memory I have about doing the right thing even when you don’t have to.

That’s what golf is about, for me.

You don’t move your ball to a better lie in the bushes when your playing partner is lining up their shot on the fairway.

You don’t mark down a “4” because that putt really would have gone in “if it weren’t for that ball mark on my line.”

You turn in the wallet you found beside the bench on the 16th tee – and you don’t see if there’s any money you can grab from it before you do, “because that person will just be happy to get their cards and ID back.”

Golf, for me, represents doing what’s right.

Storm lower the boom in exhibition opener J.R. RARDON CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League season hasn’t even started, but the bad blood is already flowing between the Campbell River Storm and the Oceanside Generals.

Braeden Cyra scored four goals and Kobe Oishi and Jacob Carr added a pair each Friday night as the Storm overwhelmed the visiting Generals 11-3 in a preseason exhibition game at Rod Brind’Amour Arena.

The Generals roster was populated primarily by age 15-17 players, which Generals coach Brad Knight said was supposed to be the case for both teams.

“We were under the impression this game was supposed to be for the first-year players,” said Knight, noting the Storm roster was populated by age-20 season veterans like Cyra, Darryl Senholt and Gage Colpron, the team’s leading scorer from its run to the league, provincial and Western Canadian championships last season. “I’m a little disappointed they suited their full team. It wasn’t what we expected.”

A scheduled rematch in Campbell River Sunday was abruptly cancelled without explanation. It was announced in a one-sentence post on the Oceanside web page.

In addition, the score for Friday’s exhibition was left conspicuously blank on the Generals’ results page, which lists the final results of the team’s other contests.

Storm coach and general manager Lee Stone

had a different understanding of Friday’s exhibition.

“I said, ‘We have two (exhibition) games,’” Stone said of the clubs’ discussions prior to the series. “We’re gonna play our guys.’

“We still sat out eight of our regular guys.

We’re just that good.”

The teams will find out just how good they both are with full rosters when the Generals return to Campbell River for their season opener Sept. 11.

“Oceanside didn’t have their full team (Friday),” Stone acknowledged.

“They went younger.

But they’ve definitely improved and I think they’re going to be one of the better teams in the league.”

Meanwhile, the Storm will open their season this Friday when they host Nanaimo following an unveiling of their banners for winning the 2014-15 VIJHL playoffs, the Cyclone Taylor Cup and the Keystone Cup. After Friday’s exhibition win, the Storm held an intra-squad scrimmage Saturday night, part of a final weekend evaluation by Stone and his staff before making the final roster cuts.

When Oceanside cancelled Sunday’s scheduled exhibition, the Storm played a second scrimmage game in that time slot.

“We’re looking at their coachability, their work ethic, and which guys are willing to do what it takes to win,” said Stone.

“We run a difficult system, so our guys have to be skilled but also they need to be smart.”

In Friday’s exhibition, the Storm led just 2-1 midway through the

first period, on goals by Cyra and Kenny Britton.

But Cyra and Jacob Carr added goals later in the period for a 4-1 lead at first intermission.

Colpron got a goal and Cyra scored again in the second period to complete his hat trick as the Storm went up 6-1.

Oceanside got one back on a tally by Jordan Bautista in the period, but Campbell River closed it out with a five-goal eruption in the third.

Oishi got both his goals in the period and Carr, Cyra and Rhys Colpron added scores.

Afterward, Rhys and Gage Colpron posed together on the ice for photos following their first junior game as

teammates.

“It was awes ome watching these guys” win the Keystone Cup last season, Rhys Colpron said. “It’s a great oppor-

tunity they’ve provided me to play here this season. They’re a great group of guys.”

Gage Colpron, one of just five returners from

last season’s championship squad and the new captain, believes the re-tooled team has the pieces in place to make another run at the title.

“(Preseason) camp has gone really well,” he said.

“Everyone has gelled and bonded on and off the ice. And there’s a lot of talent in that room.”

Men’s soccer kicks off inaugural Ice Breaker Classic Campbell River men’s soccer kicks off the new season during the upcoming Labour Day weekend when it hosts the Inaugural Ice Breaker Soccer Classic Saturday and Sunday at the Willow Point Sportsplex.
