a low-productivity recreational fishery” as the Tyee fishery in the pool. Cape Mudge resident Chickite was accompanied by Tony Roberts and they said they respected an agreement to not fish during the day when they fished the first time a few weeks ago. But after complaints were laid to the A-Tlegay Fisheries Society, which governs the food fishery, Chickite decided to assert his rights and went fishing during daylight but still at a time when there were few Tyee boats out. They went out to catch some fish under their food fishing rights this year because the sockeye fishery was terrible. “Lots of people don’t have fish. We rely on local streams,” Roberts said. However, the pair said they were subjected to to verbal abuse and threats. “We were getting screamed at from the beach,” Roberts said. “We don’t need that. We tried to stay out of their way.” Chickite said one person yelled that he had better have his running shoes on the next time they see him in town. “The first guy goes by me and says ‘You’re an a******,’ and also another guy goes by…he said I
Come to JJ’s
better keep my running shoes on,” Chickite said. Chickite said people just need to understand that First Nations have the right to fish there and they have to deal with that. There is also disagreement over whether the Aboriginal fishery has to abide by the power boat prohibition in the pool. Chickite says they don’t. Power boats in the pool is the third issue troubling the Tyee Club. The organization is also concerned about the number of power boats running through the Tyee Pool in contravention of regulations. Transport Canada introduced regulations restricting the pool from motor boat traffic after a near fatal collision in 1985. A letter to the Campbell River Mirror from the Tyee Club
board of directors (see page seven) said that recently there has been a “noticeable increase in the number of powerboats operating in this safety zone; some at excessive speeds. Some of the boat operators concerned have done so out of a genuine lack of knowledge. Others appear to be flaunting the regulation as a matter of annoyance alone.” The Tyee Club believes these infractions are a safety risk and has notified the RCMP. In addition, the club has also noted that some individuals have conducted “high speed cruises up the inside of the Tyee Spit after dark; intended, it would appear, to swamp the Tyee Club wharf and p otentially damage the boats and aircraft nearby.”

Of all the immature, ignorant whining that came out of the recent power failure in the Lower Mainland, one example summed up the decline of our urban culture for me. It wasn’t the people who flooded 9-1-1 with calls demanding to know when their power would be restored, or complaining about their freezers. It wasn’t those on Twitter insisting BC Hydro pay for food that went bad. It was another social media moment. With part of his community without electricity for a third day, Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart went to his Facebook page, which has a wide following. There he pleaded with residents to stop phoning city hall to demand that a local big-box supermarket provide milk and eggs. Power had been restored at the store only a few hours before, in the dead of night, and it’s safe to assume that all stores were working flat out to restock perishables. Where do people get the notion that city hall, or whatever all-powerful nanny state they imagine, controls grocery

stores? How do they conclude that in the midst of the worst electrical grid failure on record, BC Hydro is going to address their personal situation above all others? Va n c o u v e r broadcast media we re n’t mu ch better. Their big focus was that BC Hydro’s website crashed, so people couldn’t call it up on their smartphones and find out instantly when their power would be back on. Some even questioned why wireless power meters didn’t help. Perhaps these were the same journalists who fed the tinfoil-hat superstition about their signals. The facts should be known by now. After an extremely dry spring and summer, a high wind shattered trees and took down more wires and poles than BC Hydro had ever coped with before. Further damage was done within areas that were already blacked out,

Yes, some too-optimistic repair estimates given out, in response to the constant screeching for instant answers. About 15 years ago I experienced my worst power outage in the Fraser Valley. In a semi-rural area with little backup grid capacity (since greatly improved), my family went three days without power. This was in winter, due to wind and freezing rain followed by snow and cold. Trickles of water kept pipes from freezing, and the gas stove provided a bit of heat. I heard no complaints about the crews struggling around the clock with the dangerous job of repair.

The new school year is officially underway. Even if you don’t have kids in the education system, there is still this sense that summer fun is behind us and now we must get down to business. Roads are busier and so are everyone’s lives. Parents begin their everyday scramble of getting kids to and from school safely. For some young ones, this week marks their entry into the school system. For older ones, they are entering into middle or high school. Classrooms are clean and bright, with teachers and administrators rolling out the welcome mat. While education is always evolving – big changes are coming as to how teachers teach. The stereotypical model of educators standing in front of the classroom lecturing while students follow along from textbooks is transforming. We say: Making Instead, classrooms will way to unlocking be interactive with teachdiscovering individbright minds and ers ual student’s passions. future leaders Teachers will direct and fuel those interests on a new learning path. It’s welcome change for students who don’t thrive in the traditional classroom setting. If teachers can tap into what individual students get excited about, the potential to unlock their brains from boredom and turn that into drive and passion is exciting news. School districts around the province are already preparing for the changes and teachers are adapting their teaching style to this new way of reaching students. There are no two students alike. Some children thrive on tests and report deadlines – others crash and burn. Change is hard for all, but this is a directive coming from the government that parents and students should support. Individual learning has the potential to unlock bright minds which can make for a bright future. Our future leaders and innovators are in our schools. -Black Press

Tyee Club facing some unusual and troubling incidents The 91st season of the annual recreational fishery in Tyee Pool for chinook salmon at the mouth of the Campbell River has been underway for more than a month now, with the Tyee Club fishery ending Sept. 15. About 15 years ago the regulations governing the river mouth area recreational fishery underwent a significant revision for conservation purposes. This occurred in order to sustain the fishery in the face of advances in tackle and techniques that proved unsustainable in years of low returns. These conservation minded regulations, now printed on every Pacific region tidal waters fishing license, are essential to maintaining future opportunity for all to fish. Unfortunately there have been some unusual and troubling incidences in Tyee Pool over recent weeks and we think it important that the public become aware of some serious risks to public safety. In the third week of
August, tyee fishermen started finding their lures becoming snagged on unseen objects. Divers and anglers have recovered ten of these and they are all of the same design – clusters of brick-sized beach rock wrapped in pieces of fishing net attached to a length of rope at the end of which are several white floats. They have large loops tied in the line to increase their “exposure” to passing lures and are long enough to be effective but short enough to remain hidden below
the surface. How many remain is unknown but clearly these are the outcome of a deliberate attempt to disrupt this traditional fishery. Just as important, these traps pose a serious a safety risk to float planes, divers and boat traffic. The RCMP has been contacted and an investigation has started. To date no charges have been laid. There is another safety issue. Longer term residents of the area may recall the near fatal collision in
the Tyee pool in broad daylight between a speeding powerboat and an almost stationary rowboat in 1985. After this, Transport Canada introduced regulations that restrict a specific area from motor boat traffic. Recently there has been a noticeable increase in the number of powerboats operating in this safety zone; some at excessive speeds. Some of the boat operators concerned have done so out of a genuine lack of knowledge. Others

appear to be flaunting the regulation as a matter of annoyance alone. The Tyee Club believes that these infractions are a safety risk and we have notified the RCMP on this additional issue. A file has been opened and we encourage further infractions to be reported. As well, some individuals have conducted high speed cruises up the inside of Tyee Spit after dark; intended, it would appear, to swamp the Tyee Club wharf and potentially damage
the boats and nearby aircraft. Against all of this background, the directors of the Tyee Club hope that these activities cease before more seri-
ous harm to all users of the river mouth occurs. Yours sincerely, Board of Directors Tyee Club of BC Sharon Fisher, President

Hydro prepares to re-balance reservoirs
www.CampbellRiverMirror.com
Wh i l e Va n c o u v e r Island’s drought officially continues, BC Hydro has begun to re-balance the water levels in the upper and lower Campbell Reservoirs after taking dramatic steps in July to preserve downstream flows in the Campbell River. With water levels critically low throughout the system and one of their two generators off-line for maintenance and capital upgrades, Hydro officials faced the possibility that water flow could be cut off to the river in the event of a major equipment failure to the other generator. To mitigate that risk, water was released from Buttle Lake and the Upper Campbell Reservoir beginning in July to ensure enough water remained in the lower McIvor Lake reservoir to clear the spillway in the event of a generator
failure at the John Hart Power Generating Station. “Over this past week and over the next few weeks, as we move closer to Generator No. 2 returning to service and the risk decreases, BC Hydro is slowly rebalancing the two reservoirs,” said Stephen Watson, BC Hydro spokesperson.” McIvor Lake is currently at 177 metres deep and continues to drop, despite the first solid rainfall of the season last week. Based on current forecast data, Hydro officials estimate the reservoir level will fall to 175.5 metres by the end of September. “At that point both reservoirs will be rebalanced and sharing the pain of a record drought like they were in the first half of July,” Watson said. “As the end of the summer recreation

able to provide slightly more than 28 m3/s down the Campbell River for fish habitat all summer long. Watson said the rain from the series of storms last weekend helped, but given how dry the land is there was only a moderate amount of run-off and little overall change in the drought conditions. BC Hydro will continue to conserve water into October by providing slightly more than 28 m3/s in the Campbell River, with the hope, subject to inflow from rain, of increasing the Campbell River flow by midOctober for migrating

and spawning Chinook salmon. Elk Falls Canyon fish migration flows Each year at this time BC Hydro provides nine, 48-hour pulse flows down Elk Falls Canyon to benefit migrating salmon. Elk Falls is a natural barrier to fish passage, though there is good habitat between the generating station and the falls. The pulse flows will happen every Wednesday and Thursday for nine weeks beginning September 16-17, boosting flow levels in the canyon from about 4 m3/s to 7 m3/s. BC Hydro will reduce the flows out of the John Hart generating station an equal amount during these pulses to conserve water and maintain a constant downstream river flow. BC Hydro advises the public to stay away from the Campbell River upstream of Elk Falls while the pulse flows are taking place. Safety warning signage will be in place.

Henning enters the Hall
The Canadian Country Music Association (CCMA) announced earlier this year that Dianne leigh and Campbell River’s own Elizabeth “Ma” Henning have been selected as the 2015 inductees into the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame. “It is truly an honour to formally recognize these exceptional women who have paved the way for females in the Canadian country music industry today,” said Don Green, President of the Canadian Country Music Association. “Whether on the stage or behind the scenes, both Dianne Leigh and Elizabeth “Ma” Henning were leaders, trailblazers and forces to be reckoned with. The Hall of Fame Electors Committee could not have done a better job at selecting our inspirational inductees this year.” Elizabeth “Ma” Henning was born in Russia prior to moving to Canada in 1950 and settling in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Throughout her career, Henning worked as a nurse, real estate agent and created a residential and commercial development firm, eventually owning and operating hotels in several cities in Manitoba. One of her

many passions was country music. Henning opened a country music room at The Down’s Hotel in Winnipeg which was affectionately dubbed, “Ma’s Corral”, in recognition of her loyal support and mentorship of Manitoba-based country music performers. A second venue, Trails West Inn, located in Brandon, has long been managed by her daughter. Henning went on to further champion Manitoba-based artists by launching the Downs Record Label and Downs Publishing Company. Henning was a director for the Canadian Country Music Association for many years and was CCMA President between 1985 and 1986. In 1986 she spearheaded the first televised production of the Canadian Country Music Association Awards aired on Global TV. In 1990, she moved to Campbell River, where her and her family helped build the Oyster Bay Resort. In 2008, she was the recipient of the CCMA Hank SmithAward of Excellence. Henning passed away peacefully on June 1, 2009 at the age of 76. She will posthumously

Report finds BC Ferries cuts ‘more aggressive than necessary’ KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
BC Ferries saved several thousands of dollars more than its target last year through service cuts, according to a report done by the chair of the Ferry Advisory Committee. John Hodgkins, a transportation specialist and head of a group of Ferry Advisory Committee chairs, found that BC Ferries achieved significantly more in savings than it was ordered to by the province three years ago.
“The actual cost reductions indicated by our estimates…varied widely from the net savings targets set by government – in some cases by a factor of two or three – suggesting that the approach to cost reduction was, in some cases, more aggressive than necessary to deliver the mandated targets,” Hodgkins wrote. Jim Abram, regional director for Quadra Island, said Hodgkins found the figures for the Campbell River-Quadra Island route to be the “most striking.”
Hodgkins admits in his report that while the figures are derived from BC Ferries data, the numbers have not been confirmed by BC Ferries. Nevertheless, Hodgkins’ report finds that operating costs on the Quadra Island ferry route were reduced by roughly $450,000 in 2014 while BC Ferries estimated the route would lose $125,000 in revenue. That means BC Ferries achieved a savings of $325,000 last year, which is $140,000 more than the $185,000 BC Ferries was ordered
by the government to cut out of the route through service reductions. Abram s aid t he “enlightening” report reveals that BC Ferries went too far. “Instead of saving $185,000 as they projected, they in fact saved $325,000, which is a good indicator of how much we are being gouged,” Abram said in an email. And Hodgkins agrees. “Taking account of best estimates of the likely revenue effects, it does appear that the net savings achieved on some

routes are below the targets set by government, whereas on other routes the net savings delivered substantially exceeded those targets,” Hodgkins wrote. Indeed, while the Quadra Island route did produce an excessive savings for BC Ferries, that wasn’t the case on all minor routes. The Crofton-Vesuvius Bay (Salt Spring Island) run only achieved $40,000 in savings compared to the government’s target of $105,000; the Buckley Bay-Denman Island route had $224,000 in savings which fell short of the $330,000 target while the Denman Island-Hornby Island run missed its target of $180,000 with a savings of just $137,000. The Nanaimo to Gabriola Island ferry route reported the greatest savings. Through service reductions, a savings of $886,000 was realized while the govern-
ment’s target savings was $400,000. Hodgkins said BC Ferries has told the Ferry Advisory Committee that it is unlikely to publish its own details of savings achieved on a route-byroute basis due to “perceived commercial confidentiality.” He said BC Ferries “was satisfied that the government’s financial objectives had been met.” Hodgkins said the province is not requiring BC Ferries to provide financial outcomes for each route and that “government was satisfied that as long as BC Ferries made the cuts, they would achieve the required savings.” BC Ferries was ordered by the government in 2013 to come up with $18.9 million in savings with cutbacks to its minor and major routes effective April 2014 after the corporation suffered a $16.5 million loss and a
21-year low in passenger traffic and a 13-year low in vehicle traffic in 2011. Fe r r i e s , h o w e v e r, recently announced that foot passenger traffic was up five per cent while vehicle traffic rose by 4.7 per cent in the first quarter of this year. The corporation said the increase in traffic generated a $5 million increase in Ferries’ net earnings compared to last year. In response, BC Ferries has announced it is slashing passenger fares by 50 per cent from Sept. 8 to Oct. 15 on off-peak days of the week and on off-peak times of the day on its minor and major routes. The discount only applies to the passenger fare, not the vehicle rate, , which means that an adult fare, which is normally $16.90 on the major routes and $10.30 on the Quadra Island route will be reduced to $8.45 and $5.15 respectively.

Is this any way to treat your best friend? Deacon, a 12-week-old Shepherd/ Husky cross puppy, broke his leg after he fell from the back of a truck. His guardian surrendered Deacon to the Trail Branch of the BC SPCA – his leg was plated and pinned at a cost of $1,625. Every year countless animals are badly injured or lose their lives because they were not properly restrained in a vehicle. Dogs riding in the back of pick-up trucks are particularly at risk. The BC SPCA, the RCMP and ICBC RoadSense have teamed up for an awareness campaign on the safe way to transport your pet.
Campaign history The BC SPCA, RCMP and the ICBC launched a joint awareness campaign on in 2006. The goal of the campaign was to educate pet guardians on safe and responsible ways to transport their animals. The project was

Getting a try at college rugby Carihi grad earns shot with U.S. university rugby program J.R. RARDON CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
W
hen she traveled with the BC U18 Select Banshees to a rugby showcase in Las Vegas in 2014, Campbell River teen Kristine Osachuk thought it would simply be a chance to play against some highcalibre competition in the States. But, thanks to a chance meeting with a university coach, she’ll be getting high-calibre U.S. competition on a regular basis. Osachuk, a graduate of Carihi, will take the pitch tomorrow as the Lindenwood University Lions of St. Charles, Missouri, open the women’s 15s collegiate rugby season against Northern Iowa. She signed to play for the program — which finished second in last spring’s U.S. Collegiate Championships in women’s 7s — after meeting the program’s coach during that earlier trip to Las Vegas. “I was very taken by surprise,” Osachuk said of her recruitment. “We were playing and after the game the Lindenwood coach came up and talked to us. I was like, ‘A school? Cool.’” Osachuk caught

the attention of Lindenwood coach Billy Nicholas despite having played the sport of rugby for only two seasons at the time of their first meeting. “The biggest thing I saw was, besides she had the basic skills down, that she had some really good decision-making skills,” Nicholas said. “For a latecomer to rugby, she picked up on the game really quickly, was able to read plays as they developed and read what opposing defenses
were doing. “I thought it would be good to put her in a full-time (rugby) environment.” Osachuk, who received a partial athletic scholarship, had the same idea and relishes the challenge of playing for the Lions’ 15-a-side team this fall and then the 7-a-side team in the spring. But it didn’t take her long to realize she’s stepped up to higher level of intensity. “We’ve been training
together since Aug. 24, and it’s a big jump from high school,” she said. “The physical aspect of it and the commitment to the program is a big change. But I really enjoy it; I want to become a fitter player and a stronger player. I’m looking forward to where I’ll be at the end of the season.” Osachuk grew up playing soccer, and in high school competed in basketball, volleyball and two years of wrestling. Ironically, Carihi

did not begin a school rugby program until this spring, and she was unable to compete while recovering from a knee injury and surgery. Osachuk first tried rugby near the end of her grade 10 year. After playing for the Vancouver Island U16 Tsunami, she earned a spot on the B.C. U16 provincial team and competed last summer for the Island U17 Selects in the BC Summer Games. In 2014, she also played high school rugby for Vanier Secondary of Courtenay, which won the provincial championship. Earlier that year, Nicholas first met Osachuk when he was coaching a U.S. high school select squad in the New York 7s, where her B.C. team was playing. Later, they ran into each other in Las Vegas at another select tournament. “I’ve done some select-side high school coaching and we’ve run into some very good B.C. select-side teams — sometimes unfortunately,” Nicholas added with a laugh. “I’ve always wanted to bring in some international players as well, because we have a big international student population here at Lindenwood.” Her knee injury also wiped out Osachuk’s final season of soccer, during which she was selected co-captain of the Tyees. “It put a huge toll on my fitness and leg

strength,” she said of her forced layoff. “I did four months of hard physiotherapy and fitness and strength work to go to college (and play). “I’m still getting up to my top fitness. I’m almost there.” Whether her own physiotherapy and rehab played into the decision or not, Osachuk is majoring in exercise science and pre-physical therapy, and is leaning toward a career as a physiotherapist. She admits to missing family and friends after having chosen to study so far from home, but loneliness is not a problem. “Hav i n g a hu g e , 60-person rugby team, it’s easy to make friends,” she said. “There’s always something to do here.

Campbell River’s Cermaq City Wave FC earned two draws against Division I and university opponents as the men’s soccer season kicked off with a high-calibre tournament at Willow Point Park last weekend. The four-team, round-robin tourney was part of the larger Ice Breaker men’s tournament hosted by the CR Masters Soccer Club. It featured Nanaimo and Comox of Vancouver Island Soccer’s Division I, as well as the Vancouver Island University men’s team. Cermaq City, a third-year program making the move from Division 3 to Division 2 this season, rounded out the field and proved competitive throughout the weekend. Wave FC opened Saturday with a 2-2 draw against Nanaimo, building an early lead on consecutive goals by Shane Dumanoir before Nanaimo battled back to tie the score. In the second match, Comox got out quickly with two early goals before Cermaq settled down and leveled play. But the

Family-friendly trails are right outside your door SPIN MY
RIDE James Durand
The Beaver Lodge lands are chock-full of trails, right in the middle of town and a great spot for any level of mountain biker. I, like many of you, am lucky enough to live fairly close to the trails. I can whip in there after work for a quick ride, squeeze in an hour loop before work, or extend my commute with a great single track ride ... but the best rides I have ever had in the Beaver Lodge lands are when I am riding with my little family. Whether I’m towing Rhyley on the trail or she is riding her little mountain bike, she loves the forest and the trails, and watching her ride the single track is more amazing than any ride I’ve had with my buddies. Part of me wants her to never grow up, but part of me is look-
ing forward to the near future when she is a bit older and faster and we can ride together at full speed. I just hope I can keep up. Sometimes it is hard to motivate a kid to ride. I know she’ll love it, but getting her out the door can be a challenge. It can also be tough to teach her new things, like keeping her pedals level over the bumps and standing up to gain con-
trol. But if she is riding with other kids she can’t wait to get going and she advances much quicker. They feed off each other and it makes the rides much easier. If you’re looking to get your child out for a ride, teach them a couple new things on the bike, or just meet some like-minded families who love to ride, check out the 5th annual Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day. We want to encourage as many kids as possible to enjoy the cycling lifestyle and all the benefits that come with it. So grab your bike, grab your kids and join us this Sunday, Sept. 13, for a great kids ride through the Beaver Lodge lands. Click on Swickedcycles.com for all the details and free registration.

Wyatt Bruce in what turned out to be a high-quality, 1-1 draw. The game ebbed and flowed with both teams having spells where they were “in charge” but no further goals were added to what was a highly entertaining game. Overall the weekend provided some wonderful soccer to both play and watch. Cermaq will now turn its attention to the season opener against Gordon Head at Willow Point Park this Saturday, with kickoff at 2 p.m. If last weekend was anything to go by, there will be some great soccer to view. Wave FC would like to acknowledge the support they have received from Cermaq and Island Home Furniture along with the CR Masters Soccer Club. The team was formed two years ago and started in Division 4. They won that league in their first year and last year they won the Division 3 title. Hopes are high for another successful season in what will obviously be a very difficult and competitive Division 2.

This week I had the opportunity to join Blair McLean for an afternoon of boating and fishing and also taking a look at the area that is being fished especially to the north of Campbell River. There still are a number of Tyee boats fishing the pool and as of Tuesday, Sept. 4, 13 Tyee have been registered at the Tyee Club and the 41.5 pounder was caught by Floyd Ross and rowed by Brett Gardner. Those fishing the Tyee Pool on Last Saturday had to fish and row through the rain and those who endured the wet weather conditions had to bail out their boats a few times. During the Tyee season there have been a number of undersize fish caught but so far more fish have hit the scales this year and they will beat the nine Tyee caught last year.
bless hooks are required when fishing for salmon in tidal and non-tidal waters in British Columbia. Anglers are required to release any hatchery marked sockeye, the fish are hatchery raised sockeye and part of a recovery program designed to increase the number of sockeye. At fish-cleaning stations around Campbell River often you will see anglers carrying a plastic bag full of salmon heads. Sport anglers are encouraged to participate in the Salmon Sport Head Recovery Program by labelling and submitting heads from adipose fin clipped Chinook and coho salmon. The recovery of coded-wire tags provides critical information for coast wide stock assessment.
Starting today, Sept. 11, and until Dec. 31, the daily limit for coho is two per day, one may be wild in area 12-1 and 12-2, area 13 to 17 and area 29-1. Bar-
As of July 15 to Sept. 30, recreational fishermen are reminded that no person can fish with a fishing line or downrigger line that is attached to a weight that is greater than six ounces or with an attractor device that is attached directly to a hook and that the use of natural bait is prohibited in the waters of Discovery Passage and Campbell River bounded by a line east of the fishing boundary sign at Orange Point to the boundary sign on the east end of Hidden Harbour.

....Selling a house? You want to make sure that when you put your house on the market and you get an offer, don't take anything personally. I've seen some of the best deals come together, and they started off horribly. Depersonalize and de- clutter your property. That means that whoever walks in is going to feel like this could be their house. So you want to get rid of all your personal stuff-- Stage it, and you could get your money back by 10X sometimes.

Recalling a brush with royalty KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Rolf Johansen can still remember the week he chauffeured the Queen around. While the 82-year-old may not be as nimble as he was back then, his memory is still sharp and he recalls the moment like it was yesterday. It was May, 1971 and Queen Elizabeth II was on a royal tour of British Columbia to celebrate the centennial of the province’s entry into Confederation. Johansen, a master corporal, was tasked by an Air Force Officer with driving the Queen around upon her arrival at the Comox Harbour. “She arrived on the (royal yacht) Britannia and I picked her up and we went everywhere,” recalls Johansen, a native of Norway who moved to Canada in 1950. “It was a Rolls Royce silver convertible and I wasn’t allowed to put gas in it or wash it and every night after I parked it, it was under armed guard.” A guard also sat beside Johansen in the pas-

a glimpse into who the Queen really is. “Oh, she’s beautiful,” Johansen said. “She’s perfectly nice. “I wasn’t allowed to speak to her but she spoke to me. She saw my kids – my four sons – outside waving and she waved back at them and complimented me on my kids being nice,” Johansen says. “She gave me one of those painted eggs, the ones the Hungarians make, and she said ‘give it to your boys’. Well, I kept it. I wasn’t giving it to them. I still have it.” Coincidentally, Mayor Andy Adams said he too was involved in the Queen’s 1971 visit to Vancouver Island. “In 1971 when the Queen was visiting Victoria I was in my Boy Scouts uniform,” Adams said. “There was a barricade of Scouts as the Queen went in to the Royal BC Museum.” Ashley also recounted her brush with royalty. As a Girl Guide in Vancouver she was part of the Honour Guard when Queen Elizabeth visited as a princess in 1951. Ashley said that experience made Wednesday’s commemoration all the more special for her. She said she was honoured to pay tribute to a monarch who inspires by example. “At age 89 she shows us that a busy schedule, interest in others and engagement with communities is a recipe for happiness and longevity we might all wish to emulate,” Ashley said. “Queen Elizabeth II is the only monarch that most of us have ever known. God bless and keep her.”

In our rush to embrace the sophisticated world of wines available to us, we often overlook what’s right on our doorstep. What is it going to take for us to learn to stop and smell the Rosés… or even notice what amazing red wines are being made here in British Columbia? Over the last 30 years, our own Okanagan Valley wines have gone from good to great. Over the last 10 years, many of our British Columbian wines have gone well past greatness and climbed into a category that can justifiably be called exceptional. Amazingly affordable Kindle Merlot (596098) $9.15 is a straight forward treatment of the Okanagan Valley’s most widely grown red wine grape.

apart from the average Okanagan wine. Moraine is a familyowned winery and vineyard overlooking Okanagan Lake, located just minutes from the city of Penticton. From its shelf-like location above striking clay bluffs, Moraine peers over the landscape and water. These iconic glaciated white clay cliffs comprise the breathtaking Naramata Bench and inspire the winery’s land-formed name. A tantalizingly tasty blend of Malbec and Merlot Moraine Cliffhanger Red (782268) $17.30 features nostril flaring and mouth watering aromas of raspberries, blackberries, and blackcurrant married together with mocha and dark chocolate.

vibrantly healthy and balanced vineyards. They manage the winemaking to allow for the natural expression of the grapes. They believe that great wines start in the vineyard, so all of their vineyard sites were analyzed in detail before being planted with clones and rootstocks best adapted to the soils and the climate of their sites. This philosophy shows in the intensity of all of their wines including BENCH 1775 Cabernet Franc Malbec (645580) $23.35. Deep rich red,
this wine seduces the senses with aromas of earthy pepper, cassis, and liquorice. On the palate savoury sage, plum, cassis, earth and liquorice combine for an interesting complex interplay of flavours. Synchromesh Wines is a small, family run operation focused on producing terroir-driven, world class Riesling, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Franc. They practice sustainable techniques, using no-chemical farming, natural low cropping, extensive and hands-off employment
of indigenous yeasts and they use no additives or high-tech manipulations in winemaking. They have a holistic philosophy, ensuring every aspect of the farm and winery helps to support their business ecosystem and philosophies. Syncromesh Turtle Rock Farms Tertre Rouge (239103) $36.35 is unfined and unfiltered. A blend of 50 per cent Cabernet Franc and 50 per cent Merlot it is named after the evocative corner of the Le Mans racing circuit in France. This is a single vineyard wine from Turtle Rock Farms. Powerful dark cherry, strawberry, dusky plum and blackberry aromas pave the same circuit for the taste buds with white pepper and sagebrush. There’s an earthy authenticity to this marvellous unapologetically unfiltered red. Reach WineWise by emailing douglas_sloan@ yahoo.com

Voice gives candidates an opportunity to tell their story to voters irrespective of financial resources or technical expertise. The site includes an interactive map with the various ridings to ensure people can find their local candidates quickly, and it works equally well on desktop computers and mobile devices. “By providing this level of 24/7 exposure, we offer voters a powerful resource to help them make informed choices on Election Day,” notes Finlayson. All candidates running in the VIREB area have been invited to participate in No Vote, No Voice. As in previous elections, VIREB has teamed up with Black Press and Island Radio to promote the website. “We’ve also approached municipalities, chambers of commerce, and other community stakeholders to help spread the word,” says Finlayson. To see the website in action, visit www.novotenovoice.ca. If you are a candidate interested in being featured, they ask you to send them an email to novotenovoice@vireb.com.

Increased citizen engagement and improved voter turnout for this year’s federal election are the goals of an election website launched by the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board (VIREB). No Vote, No Voice is a free nonpartisan “virtual podium” for electoral candidates running in the four ridings that comprise the VIREB area: North Island-Powell River, Courtenay-Alberni, NanaimoLadysmith, and Cowichan-MalahatLangford. Voters can obtain details on a particular candidate at www. novotenovoice.ca. “As Canadian citizens, we enjoy the right to vote, a privilege that individuals in many other countries can only envy,” says VIREB President Jason Finlayson. “However, voter turnout in B.C. has traditionally been low. We believe No Vote, No Voice will encourage more Vancouver Island residents to participate in the democratic process by providing candidate information on one online portal.” Offered during British Columbia’s 2013 provincial election and 2014 municipal elections, No Vote, No
his is a favorite time of year for me. If I am lucky I get to Staples to find some cute school supplies to add to my “creativity box” before they are all gone. It is a time of year to renew one’s mission in life, to take stock, be grateful and to dream for the future. I have learned over the years that if I have a dream, to write it down, create vision boards and then to plan for them. I’ve read several recent articles about the ideal holiday and how to sustain the post-vacation glow. An ideal holiday is eight days long which allows people to not only get relaxing clarity about what is important, but also to develop a new vision, a new priority and a new perspective. Look for the patterns of your ideal holiday and try to bring them into your day to day life and your weekly planning sessions. Step One: Identify the seven major roles you play in your life. Draw seven circles on a 12x12 card stock and name each circle. One of the circles, according to Steven Covey, Sharpen
and family, and cooking and eating together. Hopefully you were unplugged during your holiday, giving your sympathetic nervous system a chance to rest from electromagnetic frequencies. If you can’t get to these quiet activities on a daily basis I recommend creating your own “Sunday morning service time” if you don’t already go to church. Set aside two to four uninterrupted hours where you are not disturbed by anything. What are you passionate about? Most people when asked will not have an immediate answer. Use the Artist’s Way work book series written by Julia Cameron, to get you started on your creative journey. Starting with one new activity per week you may find that you can build upon this. In this world of “stressful sympathetic over drive” activities it is important to give the parasympathetic nervous system a chance to become refreshed, renewed and recharged! www.drpincott.com

the centre of your truck box.
How to restrain the right way u Inside your vehicle Unrestrained pets are a major distraction to drivers and can cause vehicle collisions. In a crash, pets become flying objects and can cause serious injury to themselves and others. In fact, a 50-pound pet, when traveling at speeds of 50 km/h, has the weight of approximately one ton.
u Put the dog inside the vehicle with you. Use a secured crate or a dog seat belt to restrain your pet.
u Other safe options If you must transport your pet in the back of a truck, there are safe options available.
At the very least, tether your dog with a secure and short leash to ensure safety from strangulation and death.
One quick turn... and it’s all over for this dog! Dogs are easily jolted out of open pick-ups and often suffer crippling injuries or death. Use a protective kennel secured to the truck bed, or better yet, let your best friend ride safely in the cab.
The safest method for transporting your pet is in a secured crate in

What will you do to prevent animal abuse? Neglect, abandonment, lack of veterinary care, animal hoarding, intentional abuse – sadly, these examples of animal cruelty are all too common. In 2013, the BC SPCA’s Special Provincial Constables conducted 7,839 new cruelty investigations.
It’s a staggering statistic and many of us feel overwhelmed when we think of the thousands of animals who experience distress. The good news is that we can all take action to provide a safety net for our province’s vulner-
Don’t be a bystander! If you are concerned that an animal may be in distress, do not ignore it. Your actions could help save a life. In addition to protecting the animal, you may also be protecting children or adults at risk of being harmed. Recognize the signs of an animal in distress and report animal cruelty to BC SPCA’s toll-free hotline at 1-855-622-7722.

You can also add your voice to one of our animal welfare campaigns. Teach the kids in your life that kindness counts. Early prevention is our best weapon in the fight against animal abuse. Summer camps, Pro-D day workshops, school presentations, teacher curriculum units and our popular Kids Club are just some of the engaging ways the BC SPCA’s youth education programs help children of all ages develop lifelong empathy skills and learn the value of compassion toward all living things. Learn about the Violence Link. All too often, animals are not the only victims of abuse. There is a strong connection between animal cruelty and other forms of violence such as bullying and domestic abuse.

NOTICE OF DISPOSITION OF PROPERTY Pursuant to Section 26 of the Community Charter TAKE NOTICE that the City of Campbell River (the “City”) intends to dispose of the fee simple interest in a portion of the lands legally described as follows: I. 675 13th Avenue, Campbell River BC Lot 10, District Lot 69, Sayward District, Plan 6849 Lot 11, District Lot 69, Sayward District, Plan 6849 PID: 005-799-104 The portion of the land (shaded in the map on the right), approximately 36.1 square metres in size, is to be acquired by West-Jensen Chiropractic Corporation and Cronk Holdings Ltd. for a lot line adjustment. The consideration to be received by the City for the disposition is $6,245.30.
A new interactive display and educational opportunity has arrived in Campbell River that will hopefully help children and adults alike learn more about one of our favourite sea mammals. The new “Build-a-Whale” display and presentation was unveiled last week at Discovery Passage Aquarium, and about a dozen children and their parents were on hand to be a part of the inaugural build. “We’ve got the Build-a-Whale for a couple of months. It comes from the Strawberry Isle Marine Research Society near Tofino, and the whale is a real skeleton from an offshore orca who washed ashore in 1997,” said Deb Cowper, manager of the Aquarium and Explorer Lab. “What we do is we have an hour-long program where we actually build the whale,” Cowper said. “It’s very interactive. We talk about the whales, we talk about the different eco-types of whales we have around here, we talk about how it’s a mammal and how we’re mammals, and then we build it. “Then we talk about some of the threats to the Orcas, and everybody has a good time and learn a lot.” The dead whale, named O-120, was discovered about 17 miles off the west coast of the Island in 1997, towed to shore and cleaned before being made into the educational display. “They say it took over 700 man-hours to clean the bones,” Cowper said, “so it was obviously quite an ordeal.”
So what can people learn from building a model of a whale with the bones of a whale that they can’t learn from a book – or from Wikipedia? “It’s a well-know thing that we all learn in very different ways,” Cowper said. “From a book, you can learn a lot of different facts and things, but with this you can really feel and connect and really get a sense of it. For example, I never really realized just how big she was until she arrived – and she’s actually a small version of an orca – and I was really able to see and feel and appreciate and connect to it more.” There will be public events held during the few months the display is in town, “probably on Sundays, but that has yet to be finalized,” says Cowper, and classes of children from the schools will be coming down to the Explorer Lab when it opens in a couple of weeks to build the whale, as well. Thanks to local supporters, the Stubbs Island Whale Watching Company and Discovery Marine Safaris – who sponsored the loan of the whale from the Strawberry Isle Marine Research Society – children and adults alike will be able to enjoy the interactive display for the next two to three months. While the schedule of public events has not yet been set, Cowper said, they will likely be on Sundays. During the week, classes of children will be coming down to the Explorer Lab to do the build and learn about orcas. Watch Discovery Passage Aquarium on Facebook for updates on when you might be able to take in the show – and be a part of building an orca.

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
With Tuesday of this week marking the first day of classes for many students, it also marked International Literacy Day, and as kids were getting geared up for school being back in session, the Campbell River Literacy Association (CRLA) was gearing up for another great year of its own. Last week the provincial government announced the renewal of its funding for community adult literacy programs, to the tune of $2.4-million provincewide. That funding is for the Community Adult Literacy Program (CALP). Kat Eddy, adult liter-
acy outreach coordinator for the CRLA, says that CALP funds are at the core of what they do – customizing literacy offerings for the community they serve. “What literacy outreach coordinators do is support and design literacy programs that are reflective of the needs of those individual communities,” Eddy says. “From community to community, obviously, literacy needs are different.” What the CALP funding does, Eddy says, is provide funding that allows those smaller, community-based literacy programs – like CRLA – to have a more stable financial base from which to work, rather than con-
stantly needing to patch together a budget from grants or donations that may or may not be available from year to year. The funding announced last week, Eddy says, will allow those community literacy outreach coordinators to continue that work. There are 107 communities within B.C. with literacy outreach coordinators. Campbell River has three. Every year, Eddy says, in conjunction with School District 72, a “community scan” is done to assess the needs of the community in terms of its literacy offerings and gaps therein before programming can be determined. “Something that makes
Campbell River distinct is that we have four distinctive bands here, and a very large overall population of aboriginal persons,” Eddy says. “I like to think that SD72 has done their best to provide programming and educational pursuits that have met that demographic’s needs, but often times that’s not the case. So that tends to raise our numbers a bit more, maybe more than in other communities. “We also have a really interesting, vibrant and diverse immigration population,” Eddy says, adding that when immigrants settle in large cities like Vancouver or Toronto, they gravitate towards others from their own culture and create little pocket-
communities within the broader community. That’s not the case when they come to a town like Campbell River. “The thing about an immigrant population – as well as a lowerincome population – is that a lot of times, they’re working multiple jobs to support their families because they’re the ones working in minimumwage jobs. If you don’t provide them with flexibility in pursuing their language pursuits, what happens is they don’t attend, and then they never move forward, and they continue to work those minimum-wage jobs and don’t contribute to the community they live in as effectively as they potentially could.” Most important, from
September 11-13, 2015
Quadra Island Paint Out 7x9
Eddy’s perspective, is the aspect of building a community of learners within the broader Campbell River community. “We need to offer tangible things to families. If we’re asking a family to give up two hours of their day to come and join us, it’s not going to just be a lecture,” Eddy says. “It’s going to be a sharing of ideas, a sharing of educational concepts, a sharing of food … it’s meant to be the building of a community.” This year, Eddy says, in addition to the continuation of their free, oneon-one tutoring, there will be a full workshop series on relevant topics – yet to be determined and announced – for
learners of all ages and levels of competency. They have also joined forces and are working in conjunction with Campbell River Family Services to provide a weekly seminar and food-sharing program. “It invites families to come with their children, share a meal, and learn a relevant literacy topic – whether that’s financial literacy, or nutritional literacy, or parenting skills, or early literacy and reading and writing skills,” Eddy says. CRLA is always looking for volunteers to help out. Anyone interested can contact them at 250-923-1275, check out their website at literacyforall.ca or stop in to see them at the Robron Centre, 740 Robron Street.

munity is great. This is reflected in the long list of waiting children. The program requires and deserves support,” said Charlene Brown, a CPA, CA with the firm. KidStart is offered by The John Howard Society of North Island and is Campbell River’s only one-to-one mentoring program. This volunteer-based program connects caring adults with children (ages 6-18) for three hours of fun per week. To become a Champion, donors choose from three levels of monthly sponsorship (Gold = $100/month, Silver = $50, Bronze = $25). Champions receive a profile of the child they are sponsoring (names are changed to protect privacy), annual updates, a Champion decal, and a tax receipt. The 8-year-old boy that Moeller & Company’s staff are sponsoring has been through significant disruptions in his life and was in need of of a positive male role model. He waited more than two years for a mentor and was thrilled
when he was finally matched. “I had to wait a long time for my mentor but I’m glad he’s here now. My favourite thing that we do is pack a picnic and go to the beach,” he said.
John Howard KidStart relies on donations, grants, and gaming revenue to be able to support vulnerable Campbell River kids. Campbell River currently has 90 children on the waitlist for KidStart.

When it’s time for back to school, parents are busy taking their children shopping for new clothes and picking up school supplies, yet many are missing an essential item on their back to school list – booking an
eye exam for their child. One in four schoolage children has a vision problem, yet only 14 per cent of Canadian children entering Grade 1 have ever had an eye exam. With 80 per cent of a child’s learning based
on vision, it’s imperative to diagnose potential vision problems as early as possible. “What’s worrying is that most Canadian parents mistakenly believe they would know if their child was having diffi-
culty with their vision,” says local BC Doctor of Optometry, Tanya Flood. “The truth is that most vision problems have no easy-to-detect symptoms, and children, not knowing any better, don’t realize that they see the
world differently than others. You cannot tell if your child has a vision impediment by simply asking them ‘Can you see that?’” Vision problems can have a significant impact on children’s learning.

Canada has a rich history of multiculturalism, and every year at this time we recognize those who celebrate that history and continue to further that goal through the British Columbia Multicultural Awards (BCMAs). “The British Columbi a Mu lt ic u ltura l Awards recognize individuals, organizations, and businesses whose exceptional work helps bring our diverse cultures together,” says the announcement from the province last week about the 2015 nomination period. “Multicultural champions are found in communities throughout the province helping promote better understanding between fellow British Columbians.” Campbell River has both a large immigrant population and a large Aboriginal population, so the issues and struggles surrounding multiculturalism are everyday ones for many of the people of our region. In 2008, the Campbell River Multicultural and Immigrant Services Society – better known as the Immigrant Welcome Centre – won the “organization” category of the BCMAs for their Youth 4 Diversity program, which was formed by a group of concerned students, parents, teachers and community members to address racism and other forms of discrimination in local schools. “We are a very multicultural region,” says Jim Brennan, interim executive director of the Immigrant Welcome Centre. “People from 64 different countries came to see us last year.” Brennan says that the members of the communities served by his organization experience varying levels of racism and prejudice in their lives, whether in the form of overt racism such as shouted racial slurs or refusal to serve customers of certain backgrounds – which he says are very rare occurrences, but he has heard of it happening – or in more subtle ways like just a general feeling of tension or unease in certain atmospheres. “We know (these issues) exist,” Brennan says. “Have we seen them throughout our time here? Yes. But have we seen a positive
change since we started our work? Absolutely we have.” He says the key to making a positive difference is having passionate people in organizations that are comfortable being collaborative. “The community here has been very forthright and progressive in terms of working together as a commu-
nity – whether that’s us, or North Island College, or the City of Campbell River, or NIEFS, or Family Services or any of the other organizations that provide these types of community services, we all look to each other for support and everybody works together to make a positive difference however we can.” One of the efforts that
has made a difference, Brennan says, was the recent “Mythbusters” initiative, where they set out to debunk some of the myths surrounding immigrants and newcomers and show the community at large the benefits they bring with them in an attempt to neutralize negative stereotypes. Their “Walk Away
from Racism” event each spring here in Campbell River is also going into its 20th year, and is an extremely popular, wellattended event for those who wish to speak out about acceptance and diversity. For them, it’s about the work and about making progress, not the recognition of doing so. The deadline for nom-
inations for this years’ BCMAs is 5 p.m. on Sept. 21. The five categories open for nominations are individual, business, organization, youth and “multicultural excellence.” Winners will receive $5,000 to be donated to a non-profit origination of their choice to further support the work of multiculturalism in the prov-
ince. All award recipients will take home a trophy and certificate of recognition. Email Lori Baxter at lori@loribaxter.ca or call her at 778-840-5182 for more information about the awards and visit immigrantwelcome.ca for more information about the offerings from Campbell River Immigrant Services.

Dog trainer wants to help city step up animal control enforcement KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
A professional dog trainer and behavioural consultant is proposing a new program that will crack down on dog owners in order to protect the
welfare of the community and its pets. Carrie Lumsden, owner of K9 Kind Dog Training and Behaviour Consulting which is based in the Comox Valley, said she wants to implement a program for the city that
will enforce dog licensing. “The enforcement of municipal dog bylaws will result in reduced pound costs due to fewer unidentified stray dogs, increased revenue from licence fees and fines, a
reduction in the dog population due to incentives to spay and neuter, and a reduction in conflicts between dogs and the public,” Lumsden wrote in an extensive proposal to Campbell River city council.

negative impacts including dog bites, threats to people or animals, damage or contamination of property, pet overpopulation and abuse or neglect of animals.” Educational programs through K9 would also be aimed at educating the public about proper canine socialization, the benefits of early spay and neuter as well as early training to prevent behavioural issues which often land dogs in shelters. For those canines who do end up in the shelter, it’s not a guarantee that they will return home. Many who come into the shelter are not licensed which makes it difficult to find the dog’s owner. “Without identification, Coastal Animal Services is not able to identify many of the lost animals that arrive at shelters,” Lumsden said. “By licensing all dogs, many of the animals brought into the shelter can be reunited with their owners which will decrease the number of
dogs relinquished, hold owners accountable for abandoned or nuisance dogs, and increase the revenue collected to support animal control services.” A tag on a dog’s collar may also avoid a trip to the pound altogether. Lumsden said that visible identification on a dog’s collar often results in the dog being returned by neighbours without the owner having to incur pound costs. Further, she said that municipalities have the option of offering incentives to pet owners who comply with the licensing bylaw, including reduced rates for dogs who are spayed or neutered. On the flip side, local governments can also implement stiff fines in order to encourage compliance. City council considered Lumsden’s proposal at its Aug. 24 council meeting. Council voted to refer the initiative to city staff for comment and a report back to council before making any decisions.

Stone. Stone cites “an increase in the complexity, frequency and severity of bodily injury claims,” as the main reason for the proposed hike. “Last year, bodily injury costs totalled over $2.17 billion, up nearly 10 per cent in one year. “While the number of crashes is relatively unchanged, ICBC is also reporting more crashes with multiple injuries than ever before, with more cases being potentially fraudulent,” Stone said. “Just last month, ICBC released a media bulletin about a ‘jump-in’ scheme, where it was able to determine only one individual was in an accident, but two other rela-
tives fraudulently filed bodily injury claims.” The increasing costs must be covered by the basic insurance rates we all pay, the minister said. “If left unmitigated, rates could increase by as much as 6.7 per cent,” Stone said. “I have made staff from the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure and the Ministry of Finance available to work through ICBC’s numbers and help identify some additional strategies that ICBC could embrace, all in an effort to apply as much downward pressure on insurance rates as possible. I’ve also asked Gordon Macatee – an expert in Crown corporations – to support this work.”

“A public awareness program will be a significant benefit to encourage compliance.” Lumsden’s intention is to hire staff who will be trained to sell licences to the public and be responsible for record keeping, accounting, and remittance of licence sales to the City of Campbell River on a monthly basis. The city currently has Coastal Animal Control under contract to provide animal control services but Lumsden said K9’s program would go beyond the scope of the existing contract and proactively promote the benefits of dog licences through education. “ The Dog Licensing Initiative Program will serve to educate the public on the benefits of responsible dog ownership through dog licensing. Pet owners must be aware of their responsibilities to their pets,” Lumsden said. “Their pets should not annoy or harass their neighbours or other animals. This can result in many
According to a recent government release, the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC) has submitted its initial documentation to the British Columbia Utilities Commission outlining its next round of intended rate increases. “ICBC has advised government that a number of concerning trends and cost pressures are weighing heavily on its projections, and it needs additional time to conclude mitigation efforts to limit the next basic insurance increase for rate payers,” said Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Todd

rank and Winifred “Win” Smirfitt would probably have celebrated more wedding anniversaries had their nuptials not been interrupted by the outbreak of war. World War II, to be precise. The happy couple celebrated their 71st anniversary last Wednesday surrounded by friends and neighbours at Berwick by the Sea retirement community. Childhood sweethearts in Vancouver before Canada was drawn into the war in Europe, they postponed marriage as Frank marched off to join the fight. “Win wanted to set a date, but I was going to war and I didn’t know how badly damaged I was going to be when I came back,” said Frank, 95. “Well, I got my foot badly damaged, but that wasn’t the part she was interested in.” As the guests around the birthday table broke into laughter, Frank grinned mischievously while Win swatted his arm in mock indignation. His injury, suffered while serving as a tank gunnery instructor, resulted in his discharge and early return home. After he spent nearly a year in hospital recuperating and rehabilitating,

Frank and Win Smurfitt celebrated their 71st wedding anniversary with a party at Berwick by the Sea last Wednesday. The couple were married during World War II.
Frank and Win finally tied the knot Sept. 2, 1944, almost a year before the end of the war. “We knew we were going to get married eventually, because I’d set my mind to it,” Win said as Frank nodded emphatically. Frank said Win was originally attracted to him, “because I had wheels,” he said. “I had a bicycle. She fell in love with that bike. Eventually she learned to love me, too.” After marrying, the couple moved from Vancouver to Kittimat, where Frank worked as a draftsman for a bridge-building company, helping on projects including bridges, dam gates, buildings and transmission towers. The couple had five children before eventually moving to Quadra Island, where they spent 34 years before moving into the newly opened Berwick house last fall.
Frank said he still had that old bicycle, an English Paragon, right up until the move to Quadra. “We left Kittimat in 1980, and I left the bike leaning up against the wall of the house,” he said. Far worse than having to postpone her wedding date was the wait Win endured on the home front while Frank was off to war. “It was terrible, of course,” she said over birthday cake and juice. “But you went on doing what you had to do and waited for the postman to come. “Some people were worse off, because they were having kids. There were kids growing up not knowing who their dad was.” Asked if he ever expected to share 71 anniversaries with Win, Frank seemed genuinely surprised. “All you think about is staying alive until Christmas,” he said.

Mass renovation for lowincome seniors’ residence

There aren’t too many million-dollar building projects happening in Campbell River these days, and when they are, they aren’t generally being done by small nonprofit societies helping low-income seniors with their housing needs. Well, the John Perkins Memorial Housing society, who owns and manages a 62-unit lowincome seniors housing complex just off Ironwood Street downtown, is undertaking just that type of project. The building, constructed in the 1970s, was in need of a substantial repairs, and the $1.1 million endeavour is a complicated one. According to Derek Lamb, who sits on the board of the society, periodic inspections of the facility were causing concern amongst members – as were the draughty windows and doors – so they lobbied BC Housing for money to conduct a study on the structural integrity of parts of the buildings. Specifically, they were concerned about the balconies.

The low-income senior’s residence owned and operated by the John Perkins Memorial Housing Society just off Ironwood Street downtown is undergoing a major facelift.
“You could feel the softness in the wood,” Lamb says. “You could feel the rot. It was like the balcony could just give way.” BC Housing, Lamb says, “sent a team up here to review it and prepare a report on it. What they found was, yes, there was indication that the balconies and some of the siding and other areas of the building were not in good shape, but the review was not detailed.” After fighting with BC Housing for some time for funding to get a proper report done, Lamb says, Read Jones Christoffersen Consulting Engineers out of Victoria was contracted to perform a detailed structural assessment of the facility. “They found a number of issues and actually advised that we shut down the balconies or cordon them off,” Lamb says. “We actually had to remove an individual from an apartment because of the nature of the balcony – which was ready to collapse – (because) we were not certain he would not go out there even if we locked it off.” With the official study complete, the board new they needed to take action. The assessment identified not only structural issues with the balconies, but also poorly insulated doors and windows, as well as some minor roofing problems. Roy Ashdown of Ashdown C onstruction – who won the bid on the project – says they have been making good progress and are actually ahead of schedule because of all the nice weather throughout August. “The basic structure
is good,” Ashdown says, “and even the rot that we’re finding is mostly cosmetic, except for in a few areas that aren’t ‘structural’ in the sense that they’re (not) loadbearing.” Some of the problems have come about because of the reliance on “a friend of a friend,” coming in to do work on the place, Lamb says. “There have been a few instances where they’ve been taken advantage of,” he says, citing an instance where painters came in and done a job improperly, because the proper paint to use was only available in Courtenay, and the painter just didn’t feel like going to Courtenay to get it – so he didn’t bother – and instead used paint that chipped and peeled. “It wasn’t a legitimate company,” Lamb says. “It was just a friend of a friend who took them for $20,000 to do a halfassed job.” “A lot of patches have been done over the years,” Ashdown agrees, “and not necessarily done correctly, so we’re doing it right.” Phil Doyle, a senior who lives on site and also helps manage the building, has been through this before, having lived at Regal Manor when it went through a similar renovation. “They had the same thing happen there, but without such a nice crew. These guys are totally different. These guys are gentlemen,” he says. “This will solve a lot of the complaints from the tenants about cold air coming in and water and whatnot. “They’re actually looking forward to having it done not because it’s bothering them that
much, but because it’ll be great to actually have a warm place.” L u e l l a S c h r u d e r, another resident, agrees, saying she sees the inconvenience of the noise in the short-term as being of value in the long-term. “It’s all for the best, so I don’t mind it one bit,” she says as she watches television in her apartment, her balcony boarded off and the hammers and saws ringing from the yard. It also makes for a bit of entertainment. “I didn’t know if I should be watching the cooking channel, the carpenter or the plumber,” laughs Schruder. A big part of the reason Ashdown was chosen as the successful bidder on the project was not only that their projected cost was low, but because the money being put into the project would stay in the community. “One of the things the board looked at was that it’s all Campbell River. That million dollars we’re spending, it’s going to stay here,” Lamb says. Ashdown is a Campbell River-based company, the entire workforce on the project are Campbell River residents – including a few new hires that were made because of this particular project – and the building materials are all being sourced from the local Home Hardware. “We like to work on projects like this because of the social aspect,” Ashdown says. “It’s not just about making money, it’s about making people’s lives better.” Work is expected to be completed on the facility this November. “It’ll be a much better place,” says Ashdown.

On doing nothing: reflections on environmental action
B
turbing media coverage urge us to action. But how do we move from concerned awareness to corrective action? How do we, as individuals and communities and nations, respond to an enormously complex problem that seems to require our urgent attention? Buddhist thinking has a thoughtful answer to all these difficult questions. Don’t do anything. Given the seriousness of our environmental problems, such advice may seem so dismissive and inadequate as to be nonsensical. But some wisdom can be garnered from a deeper understanding of the Buddhist meaning of the
word “do.” In Buddhist the same way. No parthought, everything ticular effort is required. arises from Learning awareness, SHADES that bees the source perform of both complex thinking commuand doing. nication Awareness dances changes that direct thinking. other bees We don’t to nectar have to supplies force a changes change in our our thinkresponse ing, we to bees. just have Discovto increase our awareering that trees comness and our thinking municate with each effortlessly changes to other via chemical become more subtle, pheromones makes forcomprehensive, incluests into living places. sive and sophisticated.

OF GREEN Ray Grigg
uddhism, in its original historical sense, was never a religion but a psychology and philosophy. As an exploration of the human condition and the complications of consciousness, it provides some insightful notions about the relationship between thought, action and consequences, a subject that seems particularly relevant as we wrestle with all manner of environmental problems and wonder how we can address them by changing our individual and collective behaviour. Sobering environmental news, worrisome scientific studies and dis-
lies, each with unique dialects, increases our appreciation and alters our behaviour regarding them — it now seems inconceivable that we once shot them with 50-caliber machine guns. Awareness increases empathy and compassion, radically altering our response to everything from species and war to poverty and gender, thus making the world a more caring and civilized place. Awareness promotes the intimate and personal by diminishing the distinction between this and that, self and other, human and nature, thereby confirming the connection of everything to
everything else in a vast network of inseparable interrelationship and mutual belonging. Just as awareness confirms that nothing is separate, alone or isolated, it also reveals that actions have consequences that can be noted. In the Buddhist sense, however, this awareness is purely itself, unburdened with any judgment that then manifests as conscience and guilt. Buddhist awareness possesses an easy grace that is weightless and illuminating. Uncluttered by complications, it is an opening and a freeing that allows us to find quiet amid tumult, balance amid disorder, and peace amid chaos. The
process of opening and becoming aware initiates behavioural change without requiring any apparent effort. In our changing world, environmental issues are going to impress themselves on our awareness — whether we invite them or not. Rising temperatures, extreme weather, acidifying oceans, disappearing species and degraded ecologies will become ever more commonplace inevitabilities that will forcefully impose themselves on our awareness. If Buddhist thinking is correct, we will change in response. Whether we change soon enough is another subject.
