Parts of the city smelled of smoke Wednesday morning – at one point an ominous black plume could be seen while driving down 2nd Ave. towards Dogwood.

The source was a devastating house fire on the corner of Nikola Road and Forest Grove Drive in Quinsam Heights.

“On arrival crews found a twostorey home well involved with fire on the rear side of the home on both floors,” said Chris Vrabel, deputy fire chief. “Our approach was defensive due to the amount of fire and the structure was compromised, preventing us from entering the structure.”

When the Mirror arrived on the scene the flames had been extinguished but Vrabel said the Camp-

bell River fire department was still at the location soaking the ruined house and monitoring the hot spots until at least 1:30 that afternoon.

Vrabel said there were as many

as 25 firefighters on location from the time the call was received, just before 8 a.m., until around 10:30 a.m.

There was no one in the house at

the time of the fire and no injuries reported. Vrabel said they do not yet know the cause.

“Because of the damage to the structure we need engineers and

everything before we can even get in and have a look, so it’s not going to be anytime soon,” he said.

Nobody was hurt in the fire because the owners were away.

RCMP arrest another two males in connection with recent drug seizure JOCELYN DOLL/CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

ALISTAIR TAYLOR

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Mounties have put a dent in the encroachment of Lower Mainland drug traffickers on Campbell River with two more arrests last week.

“C a m p b e l l R i v e r RCMP is very proud of the continued work done by our members to intercept the strong establishment of a drug trade,” said Const. Sara Clark, media relations officer for Campbell River RCMP. “All of the males arrested are from the Lower Mainland and their presence here was solely for the purposes of drug trafficking. Reducing the impact of drugs on our community is one of our detachment’s priorities. Focusing on trafficking has a trick-

ledown effect on other crimes such as property and violent offences that are commonly a result of addiction.”

Campbell River Street Crime unit made the two arrests on Sept. 23 in connection with the arrest Sept. 20 of two males, Jitesh Vagh and Karalo Nadeau, involved in the drug trade.

Gary Sandu and Rohit Kumar were arrested Sept. 23 after being found in possession of a large amount of drugs and cash during an interaction with the street crime unit.

RCMP attended a local hotel to follow up with a traffic stop which was done by an officer the evening before. Upon attendance at the hotel room, the Street Crime Unit was greeted by

Kumar while a second male, Sandu ran out a rear exit. Sandu was intercepted by police after a brief foot chase.

During the foot chase items were tossed aside which the chasing officer stopped to pick up as evidence. After the arrest of Sandu, Kumar was also arrested for possession of drugs for the purposes of trafficking.

During a subsequent search of the area, another large amount of cash was located by officers.

Search warrants were obtained on the hotel room and a vehicle belonging to the males, resulting in the seizure of more cash and drugs.

The seizure of drugs and cash in all arrests, including the seizure of a vehicle, involved:

CHRISTMAS AT THE COAST

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A Conservation Officer is not happy he had to shoot a black bear in Willow Point Tuesday afternoon.

“It’s exteremely disheartening,” Conservation Officer (CO) Steve Petrovcic said. “It’s one of those necessary evils that has to be done when the bear exhibits that behaviour.”

The bear had been frequenting the Penfield school area the last two weeks. There had been numerous sightings by parents around the school and students had been on “lock down” a few times to avoid an encounter with the bear.

Petrovcic said that, unfortunately, not all the residents in the area had been utilizing best “bear aware” practices. On tours around the neighbourhood, he frequently saw garbage cans set out the night before pick up day, garbage on property and fruit hanging from trees or scattered on the ground and not picked up. It’s particularly disappointing to have to destroy a bear, Petrovcic said, when these situations can be avoided.

“When we have people in the community working with us and doing their part, the number of incidences like this are significantly reduced,” he said.

But all it takes is one person on a street not cleaning up bear attractants to undo all the good work everybody else is doing.

Conservation Officers were notified that the bear had been observed in the Penfield School area again on Tuesday afternoon. It disappeared into a nearby greenspace before being spotted

crossing Hilchey heading north, Petrovcic said. It then wandered over to a nearby catchment pond north of Hilchey Road and west of Penfield where it was shot. Residents on social media reported hearing the shots.

“At that point, based on the history we’d received on this particular bear, it had been seen hanging out close to the school for almost two weeks,” Petrovcic said. “The school’s had numerous times (where it) more or less had the school almost on lock down, no kids permitted into the playing field.

“It was determined that this bear was not a relocation candidate and that this bear would be destroyed.”

This isn’t the only bear in town COs are aware of. There is a second bear hanging around the Phoenix school area and a report of another in the vicinity of Ecole des Deux Mondes School at the west end of 7th Avenue.

Petrovcic said Conservation Officers are emphasizing an educational approach in trying

HAIDA INN LIQUOR STORE 1342 Shoppers Row, Campbell River 250-850-0097 WE SELL ALL WINES AND COLD BEER AT OR BELOW GOVERNMENT LIQUOR STORE PRICES

to deal with these kinds of situations. The province has had “bear awareness” programs in place for years and earlier this month the Conservation Officer Service issued a plea to homeowners to do what they can to help reduce conflicts.

There had been a noticeable increase in human-wildlife conflict reports from all over Vancouver Island, specifically dealing with black bears in high density residential areas accessing an abundance of unpicked fruit in back yards.

“Our urban calls for service have definitely gone up in the last 2-3 weeks,” Petrovcic said.

Petrovcic said if people are not complying with measures to reduce wildlife conflicts, the COs do have the authority to charge people and issue tickets that can result in fines up to $575.

“We really would like the support of the community and have everyone secure their attractants,” Pterovcic said.

The CO service requests that people report sightings of bears and wildlife to their 24-hour call centre (1-877-952-7277).

LOOKING FOR GIFT IDEAS?

There’s frequently information circulated on social media – Campbell River has a Facebook page dedicated to cougar and bear sightings – but Petrovcic said COs don’t have time to be on social media all day and so will not become informed through that route. The public needs to call in.

Bears are instinctually loading up on calories right now in preparation for hibernation and they’ll target easilyacessible food. There are many factors at play.

With the natural berry crops ending, along with a poor return of salmon and lower-than-normal water flows in some Island rivers this year, bears began coming into communities in search of food. They are being rewarded with an abundance of fruit and will not leave town if they continue to have access to such a high calorie food source.

“It’s extremely disappointing for a Conservation Officer having to attend and destroy an animal that, essentially the public has influenced its behaviour,” Petrovcic said.

SRD considers selling Cortes parkland to pay off debt

www.CampbellRiverMirror.com

KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The Strathcona Regional District is considering selling parkland on Cortes Island to help pay down a debt.

The property in question is Sutil Point Park – 0.22 hectares of undeveloped land outside of Smelt Bay Provincial Park.

Karin Albert, planner for the regional district, said the park, which is forested with second growth Douglas fir, could be sold to pay off money the regional district borrowed to purchase Whaletown Commons two years ago.

“The regional district is exploring the sale of Sutil Point Park in order to raise funds to replenish the Area B parkland acquisition fund which has been drawn down as a result of acquiring Whaletown Commons as park in October, 2014,” Albert said.

If the regional district were to continue on with its current payment plan, Albert said that for the next three years, close to one-third of Cortes Island’s parks budget will go toward paying off the five year loan that the regional district took on to purchase Whaletown Commons.

The regional district

Cortes Director Noba Anderson said it’s crucial to take the question to her constituents, and said she would even

That 70-acre green space was purchased from Island Timberlands for $839,000 after five years of negotiations.

According to the regional district, the property was appraised at $826,000 ($475,000 for the timber and $351,000 for the land).

The Whaletown Commons Society, a non-profit which had been trying to secure the land for more than 20 years, partnered with the regional district and agreed to chip in roughly $73,000 towards the purchase.

The s o ciety was formed with the sole purpose of keeping the green space as parkland and is using the property to create a community park in Cortes Island’s Whaletown.

Whaletown Commons has high forest and riparian values, a salmon-bearing creek and it provides a natural habitat for wolves and other animals.

It also connects three Whaletown sub-neighbourhoods.

Campbell River raises $63,000 for Tour de Rock JOCELYN DOLL

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

C h r ist a C or r i g a l l started the Cops for Cancer cheque presentation ceremony in Spirit Square on Tuesday, with a poem she wrote with her daughter Natalia about Camp Good Times.

In the poem she thanked the donors as well as the cyclists for fundraising for cancer research and care programs, like Camp Goodtimes.

“To forget cancer for

just a few days…is a gift,” Corrigall said.

This year efforts in Campbell River raised $63,000. Annual events such as the golf tournament and the barrel race brought in upwards of $20,000 each and individual fundraising efforts ranged from $200 from a little girl who donated her hair to more than $6,000 from one man who said he pushed hard because he learned what it costs to put a child into Camp Goodtimes.

The cyclists, though

sore from the days ride, were enthusiastic and thankful for the donations and support from the community.

They presented plaques to the donors on behalf of the Canadian Cancer Society to say thank you.

They read, “A person never stands so tall as when they kneel to help a child.”

The cyclists were on the road to the Comox Valley the next morning, for day five of their 10 day tour around the Island.

Clockwise from the left: The Cops for Cancer Golf Tournament organizers handed over a cheque for almost $32,000 this year. The Tour de Roc team on the road to Campbell River from on Tuesday morning. The riders embraced their partners when they dismounted at Tammy’s Cafe just north of Campbell River.

Teresa Olfert fundraised and donated her hair to Locks for Love.

4x8 Thank you for helping us raise $153,128!

With over 550 show vehicles, over 10,000 spectators, 85+ amazing sponsors and over $164,000 in, in-kind sponsorships, we thank you!

Three Point Motors

Ladies and gentlemen, The 2016 Vancouver Island Motor Gathering is in the history books and we would like to express our gratitude to our staff and the many generous sponsors for their contributions to one incredible show. A special thank you goes to the attraction of the Motor Gathering, the collectors of some of the most valuable and beautiful vehicles on display and of course, the many, many spectators who spent their Sunday with us at the Vancouver Island Motorsport Circuit.

All of them have made this year’s Motor Gathering another big success.

This year’s event saw over 550 show vehicles and motorcycles, more than 10,000 spectators and most importantly we are extremely proud to support the David Foster Foundation and the Cowichan District Hospital Foundation with over $153,000 in cash donations.

The Vancouver Island Motor Gathering has been part of our group since 2012 and we would like to thank our staff for making the show a success each year. First and foremost, we would like to thank Cindy Mui and the marketing team as they are the driving force behind this event. Especially this year, it was an extraordinary effort as we just opened the Vancouver Island Motorsport Circuit and will soon open the Villa Eyrie Resort. Thank you very much for not giving up and for helping us once again to raise funds for our local charities. Another big thank you

goes to the 150+ employees from our dealerships that came and helped to provide each visitor and exhibitor a feeling of being part of a well-organized event.

We would also like to highlight one sponsor in particular who took their sponsorship efforts to new levels.

Chris Erb, of SupErb Construction deserves an extra credit as he brought on other sponsors to our event totalling over $100,000!! Thank you Chris for all that you do for us.

However, every sponsor is important and vital to the success of this event and we would like to thank each and every one of them for their support.

Please see them proudly displayed at the Motor Gathering Website and consider them next time you may be in need of their service, as they are also supporters of the local communities on Vancouver Island and especially the Cowichan Valley.

Ladies and gentlemen, we now set our sights on 2017 and we will once again welcome the automotive collector car community at the Vancouver Island Motorsport Circuit. Next years event will change slightly in format and will be held on two days on Saturday, August 26 and Sunday, August 27, 2017. Stay tuned for more details in January. Until then, thank you for being a part of our operations and in supporting our local community. We are proud to be part of yours.

Sincerely, Sylvester Chuang & Peter Trzewik

Chair calls for greater transparency KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The chair of the Strathcona Regional District board wants directors to be more transparent when it comes to travel expenses.

Board Chair and Sayward Mayor John MacDonald suggested the regional district start posting directors’ travel claims on its website for the public to see.

“It’s my opinion it would increase transparency of what we’re doing and it would just be on the website and people would be able to read it,” MacDonald said. “I would like to be transparent and I think everybody on this board would like to be transparent.”

MacDonald said that

should also extend to regional district employees.

“I wouldn’t only be including the board, I’d be including staff ’s travel claims also,” he said. “I think it’s really something we should be taking a look at.”

MacDonald threw it out to the board for consideration at last week’s Wednesday meeting, and suggested it could be further discussed at a board governance workshop that is scheduled for Oct. 6 at Oyster Bay Resorts.

MacDonald said he was prompted by an editorial that ran in the Mirror earlier this month titled, ‘Government expenses at whose expense?’

The editorial discussed inappropriate travel claims by elected officials in recent years and

suggested that making expenses public on an ongoing basis may cause politicians to think twice before incurring “an exorbitant expense.”

MacDonald said the editorial made a fair point.

“I thought it was very interesting and I think it’s the right thing and I think it would be nice if, on this board, we could have all our travel claims put on the website.”

On contagion and knowing your rights It was – in fact you could say it is, since I’m writing this from my bed – a simple viral infection, which apparently is cured by laying here for who knows how long, drinking as many fluids as I can and letting my stupid body take care of it.

There’s nothing, according to the doctor I saw, that just makes this thing go away any faster.

Guess I’m using up the rest of my sick days for the year.

That thought got me to thinking about when I was working as a server in the food and beverage industry, which was my career for about 15 years, not that long ago.

Back then, if I came down with something, I would still have to stay home, but I certainly wouldn’t be getting paid if I did.

And possibly rightly so.

I mean, it’s not like I could have been of any kind of benefit to my company from my bed, right? At least these days I can periodically pull my laptop

Forgive us if it’s a bad analogy, but this reminds us of scenes from the first two Godfather movies.

People line up to see the Don on the occasion of his daughter’s birthday or son’s first communion, submitting requests for various acts or funding for various projects. The theory is, traditionally, the Don does not deny requests on these special family days.

More than 1,500 municipal politicians are lining up to see the Dons of the provincial government this week at the Union of B.C. Municipalities (UBCM) in Victoria. The government ministers, their henchmen, er, assistants at their sides, sit in anti-rooms off the main conference hall, entertaining everyone from Ashcroft to Zeballos.

The people kissing the rings of these Dons want funding for roads, sewers, affordable housing — there’s no shortage to the depth of their requests.

OK, no one is asking provincial government ministers to make someone sleep with the fishes. We don’t think so, anyway. And, most importantly, this is not a special family occasion where the government ministers feel obliged to say yes to all requests.

The similarities end at this — the value, perceived or real, of face time with decision makers.

This face time could be invaluable for many municipal politicians on Vancouver Island who are looking to fix a bridge or build a homeless shelter. That’s because there is only a small percentage of Islanders — specifically those in Parksville, Qualicum Beach, Courtenay and Comox — who are represented by someone who sits at the adult table of government and not in opposition. Only two constituencies on Vancouver Island have B.C. Liberal MLAs. Our system, especially in polarized B.C., remains dominated by political parties.

A backbench NDP member may not have as much luck getting funds to fix potholes as the small-town mayor from his/her riding would during the UBCM. It’s possible this is the best year to ask — it’s the final UBCM conference before the next provincial election, which is eight months away. For taxpayers, it would be nice to see some results from this junket — thousands are spent to send all these councillors and mayors to the UBCM. -Black Press

food and beverage industry without being told about STIIP, I’ll never know.

Maybe they didn’t want people to know they could get paid 75 per cent of their wage if they were sick and stayed home.

I hope I’m being pessimistic and it was simply information that employers aren’t aware of or they think their employees already know.

In either of those cases, however, I urge both employees and employers to read up on these benefits and share them with others.

Because people shouldn’t be going in to work feeling how I feel right now, just because they think they need to do so in order to make rent.

And for employers that actually don’t want their employees in their building if they’re sick – like my current one – and don’t punish them financially for falling ill, thank you for giving your people the chance to get well when they need it.

Stewardship Awards celebrate Riverites who care for the natural world MIKE DAVIES CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

F

or 15 years, the City of Campbell River has been recognizing residents who make caring for the natural environment part of their everyday life with their annual Stewardship Awards, and they handed out another round of them Saturday at the Fall Festival at Haig Brown House.

Stacey Larsen, community advisor with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, told those gathered at this year’s event that she’s been honoured to be asked to present the awards for the past few years, as it’s important to recognize the folks who take care of our natural world for the benefit of the entire community.

“I really do cherish the opportunity to present these awards and recognize these hard working, unsung volunteers,

groups and businesses,” Larsen said, because it is a chance to reflect on how the nominees for these awards – and those like them – are breathing life into the community through their work within the natural world we cherish as part of our lives here.

“We also enjoy how the recipients of these awards are always surprised at being recognized by this program,” Larsen said. “They don’t do this work for the credit, they do it for the health of the environment, and we thank them for stepping forward today to be honoured and to help inspire others.”

The 2016 Air Quality and Alternative Transportation Award went to Frank Jones and Marcus Willems.

Jones and Willems adopted trails through Greenways Land Trust and, “in one year, with a good dose of muscle

and commitment, they changed their trail from one of the muddiest to one of the most pleasant, and maintained trails to give people a reason get out of their cars,” Larsen said.

The Pesticide Free and Urban Agriculture Award went to Michelle White of Ross Mountain Farm for her work growing certified organic blueberries and many other initiatives and endeavours, includ-

ing her role on the city’s Agriculture Plan Steering Committee, which helped guide the city’s plan to grow 10 per cent of its own food by 2031.

The Water and Energy Conservation Award for 2016 went to Sidney Demuth and Jack Worsley.

“It’s always wonderful to see younger faces up here on stage,” Larsen said in presenting their award. Demuth and Worsley were initially

nominated in the Youth Special Recognition category, Larsen said, “but we wanted to specifically highlight their contributions on the steering committee for the city’s Community Energy and Emissions Plan (CEEP) update,” along with their volunteer work helping with the Earth Week Film Festival and the Cycling in Campbell River Project.

The 2016 Waste Reduction stewardship award went to Dr. David Barr. Barr was recognized for his involvement in the city’s Repair Cafe initiative,

which began in 2015 and helps people learn to fix – rather than dispose and re-purchase – everything from electronics to clothing.

Bill Murray and Dave Cunning took home the 2016 Habitat Protection and Creation Award for their extensive efforts in stream stewardship.

The 2016 Youth Special Recognition Award went to Keely Finn, MacKenzie Bryla and Alexandria UzzellPaulos from Dionne Lapointe-Bakoda’s Grade 6/7 class at Southgate Middle School, who took on the marking the storm drains in the Galerno/ Hilchey/Rockland area of Willow Point and passing around leaflets to area residents to warn them of the risks to fish populations from toxins in the storm drains.

“This is a very important message to be putting out there,” Larsen said. “The city has an environmental protection bylaw that addresses fouling storm drainage systems and watercourses, but it’s efforts like this that help to prevent the contami-

nation in the first place, so thank you so much.”

Mainstream Biological Consulting received the Environmental Excellence Award for 2016.

Mainstream has been nominated numerous times in years past, from numerous nominators, Larsen said, “for their dedication and commitment to making the world a better place,” Larsen said. “Regularly, we see Mainstream staff at the table when we need feedback on environmental policy; we see them in attendance at city workshops to learn more and ask questions; we see them at professional development conferences…and we see them applying the rules from all regulators when we know how hard this task can be.”

The Tom Easton Remembrance Youth Bursary was handed out to recent graduate Mikaia DeMaiffe-Elliot, who has gone on to attend the University of Victoria to take anthropology and environmental studies and is part of the school’s Sustainability Club.

Happy ending

Both Campbell River Dragon Boat teams, River Spirit and Bravehearts, participated in the year end regatta held in Port Alberni on Sept. 25 at Sproat Lake. After racing in three 300m races, River Spirit took first place with a total time of 4:34:76, and the Bravehearts, who teamed up with Port Alberni’s team, Die Hards, came in second place with a total time of 4:45:60 minutes.

Midget A Tyees drop two in a row T he Campbell River Midget A Tyees played a pair of games this past weekend, coming up on the wrong end of 3-1 score in Port Alberni and a 6-1 outcome at home against Saanich.

The lone goal in each game was scored by Luke Lund. He was assisted in Port Alberni

by Ethan Mainprize and Liam Rivett, while Owen Boyd and Nic Ordano helped out at home.

This is the first bit of adversity the team has faced this season but likely won’t be the last. Every player kept working hard; each made brilliant plays whether it was making a great save even if it rang off the mask, battling in the corners to get the puck or making a tapeto-tape pass. Unfortunately, every player also suffered a few temporary brain cramps, and when more than one player

Coach Bill Humphreys, former teacher and hockey coach at Notre Dame in Saskatchewan, had a few words after Sunday’s loss to Saanich.

“The team kept working hard,” he said. “We can see progress in some areas, which is encouraging. If everyone continues to stay the course, we will get there in the end.”

Humphreys and Coach Jim MacLean are giving back to minor hockey after making significant contributions in other parts of Canada. Humphreys noted that it was truly a pleasure to see Notre Dame alumni at earlier Campbell River Minor Hockey games, especially in the coaching ranks.

VIAHA is still working on game schedules at this time but the Midget A Tyees are preparing for a trip to the southern end of the Island, likely to Peninsula, this weekend.

Fishing Corner with

There are a number of anglers that really enjoy fishing the various rivers this time of year because the weather is cooler and travel is less hectic because the bulk of tourists have gone home.

Most anglers will not fish for coho because all wild salmon must be released but once you hook into a coho using spinning gear or on a fly, it’s fast, furious, fun fishing and you may be hooked for life.

I had a chance to fish one of the rivers north of Sayward. Using a green or pink – and even red

When using spinning gear in the rivers, many prefer to go simple and tie on a wool yarn combination on a single barbless hook. Since the local rivers are not that big, the key is getting out far enough and getting the lure down to the fish. A Kitimat 80 in fast water is a great lure and a smaller Kitimat 65 is another way to go.

Luhr Jensen Krocodile spoons with chrome or chrome with blue or green stripes is another favourite.

Vickie Atherton with a catch and release coho on Cluxewe River.

– lead head jig, the action was steady when the runs of coho were coming in. There are countless fly patterns that have been effective over the years for catching coho but green patterns seem to outfish the blue and getting the fly weighted will make the world of a difference. Hook sizes, in general, are between a 6 and 12 but smaller patterns are effective.

I will be doing a series of basic fly tying for beginners and if you have an interest, contact Tyee Marine in Campbell River or Courtenay or leave your name and phone number at the Campbell River Mirror. We fit anyone in for free lessons. Last year we had a number of sessions at the Campbell River Library and I plan to return. Dates will be released here in the Fishing Corner.

There is more room to fly fish or use spinning gear on their favourite fishing spot on many rivers located between Port Hardy and Courtenay. I know that I spent less time fishing for pinks in the Campbell River this year and I headed north to investigate the Eve River. Some Campbell River anglers combined camping and fishing on the Cluxewe River near Port Hardy.

More than 15 trout were weighed in this year, and some were caught and released back into the lake.

A total of 40 anglers fished from 6am to 5pm and the trout were weighing in anywhere from .5 to 1 pound 13 ounces.

Rocky Quocksister won the derby with his trout weighing 1 pound 13 ounces and John Einaudi came in second, with a 1 pound 3 ounce trout.

Joey Webber had the first fish in and Ryan Olsson brought in the smallest trout. Paul Bradstreet from Australia took part in the derby and was enjoying the fly-fishing at Roberts Lake.

Paul Bradstreet from Australia

At a fun derby like this you get to spend 11 hours at the lake talking to anglers and they share some fishing information.

Roberts Lake has water 181 feet deep and many fish were reported in 50 feet of water. More than 7 boats were spotted on the water and those trolling were getting down deep using small Tomic plugs or Flatfish.

Those in attendance were treated to hot dogs, coffee and chili during the derby. Prize draws took place in the evening and everyone had a great time on the water!

Tea’s up Campbell River is invited for tea!

On Saturday, Oct 15, the two local dragon boat teams, Bravehearts and River Spirit, will join together to serve the community at the annual Pink Ribbon Tea. Home baking and tea will be available from 11-2 pm at the Dragonboat Clubhouse in the Commons.

Donations are requested for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation/BC Yukon region, and all proceeds go to that organization for education and

research.

The tea parties were originally inspired by one family, touched by breast cancer, who wanted to participate in an event with friends and community members that was primarily social, like a tea party.

Now an annual event since 2014, Pink Ribbon Teas are held across the region by individuals and organizations, and over $30,000 has been raised in the last two years. This year will be the third time the two dragon boat teams have joined together to organize the event.

Partners in the region’s newly formed Community Health Network say it’s an “exciting” time for the program which is aimed at improving healthcare in our region.

Victoria Smith, the Strathcona Regional District’s special projects manager, said the Health Network is making progress around formalizing key partnerships and a governance structure.

“This is a very exciting time for the Community Health Network which has taken some time to hit the ground running,” Smith said, adding that co-chairs have been hired and recruitment of a coordinator is underway.

The Health Network was formed 18 months ago to support the

regional district board’s “vision and goal of having high quality health and social care available regionally,” Smith said.

The initiative is a partnership between several stakeholders including the regional district, Island Health, local First Nations and the City of Campbell River, all working together to address the underlying determinants of health in this region.

The Health Network was officially established on June 26, 2015 when 150 people from across the region, all with a vested interest in healthcare, met at a regional forum.

The group determined that the Health Network could take action on several topics including: transportation, housing/homelessness, technology (cell phone and

broadband connectivity), food security, child and youth issues including mental health and aging in place, as well as volunteer and caregiver support. The group then met again in November of 2015 to reaffirm its commitment to the Health Network.

Smith said that since then the Health Network is making headway and has recently appointed Nick Chowdhury, North Island representative for the First Nations Health Council, and Cortes Director Noba Anderson as co-chairs of the Health Network. The group is also in the process of recruiting a coordinator, a two-year term employee of the regional district partially funded through a $160,000 grant from Island Health, as well as appointing members to the central gover-

was the Corrigall family. When Natalia Corrigall was diagnosed with cancer at age 4, she was flown to Vancouver for life saving treatment. For the Corrigalls, Ronald McDonald House became a home away from home and a community of support. The family is thankful for their ability to stay together while Natalia healed, and their stay, along with so many others, is made possible by the generosity of the community and the leadership and support of local McDonald’s Restaurants.

Ronald McDonald House BC and Yukon relies on contributions from McDonald’s Restaurants and fundraisers such as McHappy Day to provide safe, welcoming accommodations for families when it matters most. In our own community, local McDonald’s Owner / Operators Jens and Mary Rolinski and their crew have raised over $25,000 to benefit Ronald McDonald House BC and Yukon and they have pledged to keep fundraising.

“We depend on community support to serve our families, and our partners at McDonald’s have been leaders in raising funds and awareness for RMH BC,” said Richard Pass, Chief Executive Office, Ronald McDonald House BC and Yukon. “McHappy Day, proceeds from Happy Meals and community events all make an incredible difference to families in their time of need.”

McDonald’s Restaurants in Campbell River are supporting sick children and their families from Campbell River and across BC who need to stay in Vancouver while seeking lifesaving medical treatment.

All proceeds will be donated to the Ronald McDonald House BC and Yukon.

nance group.

Liana Sorensen from Island Health said that “many hours from many people have been involved in meeting regularly to develop terms of reference, membership criteria and formalize the job description and hiring arrangements for the coordinator” of the Health Network.

She added that the network is looking to recruit a table of partners, which along with the co-chairs and the future coordinator, will provide the central governance for the network going forward.

The Strathcona Community Health Network is just the latest in a string of similar groups already established on the Island. There are currently five other community health networks operating up and down Vancouver Island.

Close to 2,000 families each year can stay together at RMH BC. At the House they have access to services which help put joy and normalcy back into their lives, including kitchen and laundry facilities, an arts and crafts room, indoor and outdoor play areas, a fitness center and volunteer run Family Meal programs.

When a child is diagnosed with a serious illness, they can face weeks or months of treatment in Vancouver. For many child patients, the average length of stay at RMH BC is 245 nights. Since opening, 22 families from Campbell River alone stayed at Ronald McDonald House BC and Yukon.

he Rotary Quacker 5000 – better known as the Duck Dip – was held downtown for the first time this year, and the move seems to have gone over pretty well.

“It seems like we have more families here than some years,” said Duck Dip organizer Dave Bazowski Saturday afternoon.

“That’s great. That was one of the things we were trying to encourage by having it down here and having it be a bit more visible.”

The family-friendliness of the event was highlighted by the water fight between children and Rotary members, a bouncy castle, a petting zoo, face painting and other activities that accompanied the event in previous years, but this year there were also remote controlled boats courtesy the Nanaimo Boat Modellers Club, who supplied the pool for the dip, since there obviously isn’t one at Spirit Square.

One by one the ducks came out of the pool, awarding their owners prizes ranging from a round of golf for four at Storey Creek Golf Course with power cart to spa packages to trips to Vancouver to see the Canucks.

And then an audible groan – although a friendly, lighthearted one – came up from the crowd as local realtor and former city councillor Roy Grant took home the grand prize of $5,000 cash.

Final totals from this year’s event are not available as yet, but Rotary had hoped to continue their trend of raising between $35,000 and $40,000 for community projects and initiatives.

The money from the dip, Bazowski says, goes towards everything from scholarships for high school graduates going off to post-secondary to major projects like the Willow Point Water Park or the Mountain Bike Park, which were both recipients from previous years’ events.

That chalky note enhances the sweet salinity of the oysters.

ith summer winding down and temperatures declining decidedly, it’s time to enjoy the bounty of oysters from our chilly Pacific waters.

Pairing wine with oysters – like any food and wine pairing – is really a matter of personal preference. Whites work better than reds.

Oysters – and most other seafoods – clash with the tannins in red wines and create an astringent, metallic flavour.

qualities — a combination that makes them one of the most versatile partners with food.

Made from the traditional Portugese grapes Loureiro and Arinto, Xadrez Vinho Verde (168625) $11.70 is bright and sassy, slightly fizzy, full of lemon and grapefruit flavours that slide into subtle tropical fruitiness and work wonderfully with oysters.

Citra Pinot Grigio Terre Di Chieti (539312) $12.99 comes from the Abruzzo region of eastern Italy. The lemon and lime notes that it features play off the rich salty sweetness of oysters. In turn that same salty sweetness enhances the citric fruitiness of the wine.

The Muscadet Sèvreet-Maine area covers 23 municipalities to the southeast of Nantes, in the north-western corner of France, and

is named for the wine grapes that thrive there – Muscadet – and the two rivers that cross it – the Petite Maine and the Sèvre Nantaise.

Les Vergers Muscadet Sevre et Maine (174615) $13.65 has a subtle bouquet of orange zest, pear and strong minerality. A light spritzy sparkle on the palate, makes way for delicate flavours of citrus and pear. What an elegant balance between mineral character and floral freshness!

Rueda, located north east of Madrid, is home to what is arguably Spain’s best white wine Verdejo. The tart, zingy Verdejo fully expresses itself in the high altitude of Rueda where it showcases lemon and citrus, stony minerality and above all, a sharp acidity.

That same naturally high acidity makes Marqués de Riscal Rueda Blanco (237529) $19.49

Kusshi oysters are grown in floating trays and tumbled very aggressively. This breaks off the thin growing edge and forces them to deepen and thicken their shells. The resulting oyster, called a Kusshi, Japanese for “precious,” is almost as deep as it is long.

More savoury than fruity, it leads with a nutty almond edge, some sage, basil and even oregano notes and finishes with a sprinkling of salt and a twist of anise.

The aging and all of those savoury notes make the 2009 Bourdy Cotes du Jura Blanc one of the most exciting choices for pairing with the rich, salt and seaweed character of raw oysters – particularly Kusshis!

Sasquatch hunt on in Broughton Archipelago JOCELYN DOLL CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Whether it is seeing the animals on the shore, finding footprints or hearing noises in the night, Tom Sewid figures everyone who has lived off the northeast coast of the Island for long enough has had an encounter with a sasquatch.

“To me the sasquatch is like a ‘white black bear,’ you spend enough time in the bush you are going to see a white black bear, especially if you go up to Klemto area,” he said using the white black as an example.

He said that this is the best time of year for a sighting because the extra low tides and the cooler weather mean

more abundant and more edible seafood can be harvested on the beach. Sewid and a crew of researchers left Campbell River on Sunday morning in hopes of finding concrete proof of sasquatch in the area.

They have high tech gear in hopes of recording vocalizations and seeing the animals in the dark.

Sewid, a member of the Kwakwaka’wakw, brings First Nations lore to the expedition.

He grew up with the story of Tzoonakwa, the wild woman. He said the continuation of the story and the recreation of the animals in carvings and art is proof that there must be some truth to the stories.

He had an encounter himself in the early ‘90s.

He was anchored in the Archipelago and he and his crew saw two sasquatch on the beach, using their spotlight.

“We heard them, we saw them,” Sewid said.

He hopes to repeat this experience again on the current expedition.

Todd Neiss, president and co-founder of the American Primate Conservancy, is leading the excursion. The Conservancy’s goal is to find irrefutable evidence of sasquatch. Neiss is an eyewitness turned researcher with over 23 years of research experience.

Ron Morehead is also a part of the journey.

He is best known for his recording of supposedly big foot vocalizations in the Sierra Mountains in the ‘70s.

Western Canadian researcher and author or several sasquatch and bigfoot books, Thomas Steenburg is also part of the team currently on the water.

Also on board is Gunnar Monson, co-founder of the Tillamook Forest Research Group. The group, based in Oregon, is dedicated to collecting and processing evidence and data related to the the primates.

Along for the ride is videographer Darren O’Brien who will be recording the adventure and hopefully the evidence the team encounters. Sewid said they were planning on anchoring at night and watching and listening.

“Our plan is to go out into the islands just north of Quadra and

On Sunday, volunteers will come together along the Campbell River to plant 300 new trees as part of TD Tree Days 2016, hosted by TD Friends of the Environment Foundation and Greenways Land Trust.

As part of the annual tree planting program, TD Tree Days brings together TD employees, their families and friends, and community volunteers to help green where they live. This year, 50,000 trees will be added to the Canadian landscape at more than 150 community plantings throughout September and October.

The Myrt Thompson trail along the Campbell River has been heavily impacted by former industrial use and invasive species, and it needs help to recover back to diverse riverside vegetation that helps to keep the river clean, cool, and welcoming for salmon and other wildlife.

Greenways L and Trust has been working to enhance the Myrt Thompson for several years, and planting 300 trees is another big step in the process to returning the Campbell River to nature.

TD Forests was launched in 2012 by TD Bank Group, TD Forests is founded on two pillars: reduce and grow. It is the first program of its kind at TD.

just work our way up the coast,” he said. “We are just going to see if we can record vocalizations.”

There is a gofundme page encouraging people to donate to the expedition. On Tuesday morning they had raised $5,100 of their $6,000 goal. According to the site the money is being used to cover the equipment and boat rental expenses and the team is hoping to get other gear and food expenses covered as well. For every $25 someone donates they get their name in a hat for the chance to win one of Sewid’s paintings.

Donations can be made to Operation Sea Monkey until the end of the expedition on Oct. 2.

Water tax lifted after debt cleared KRISTEN DOUGLAS

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Taxpayers in Walters Cove will no longer have to pay the Strathcona Regional District’s water tax after it was repealed last week.

The regional district’s board of directors removed the parcel tax at last week’s board meeting because the loan, which the tax had been going towards, has been paid off.

The $14,276.20 debt was incurred in 2002 in order to establish a reservoir and was to be paid back in 20 years. However, in May, regional district staff announced that it had built up enough funds to pay off the debt six years early.

Dawn Christenson, the regional district’s finance manager, said the move would save $3,000 in interest charges and “allow the regional district to cease further property taxation for the service.”

The tax was established to fund a lump sum contribution to the Kyuquot/Checleset First Nation for an expansion of the water system and to finance part of an $18,000 contribution that was not prepaid by property owners in Walters Cove.

The regional district caught a break, however, when a mid-term financing opportunity allowed the regional district to restructure its payback program and pay off the debt early.

“With this in mind, parcel tax amounts were adjusted upward in 2012 in order to raise enough funds to retire the debt in 2016,” Christenson said.

“In June of this year, the remaining debt principal was repaid and the debt was cancelled.”

That opened the door for the regional district’s board of directors to repeal the parcel tax last week.

The move means Walters Cove property owners will no longer have to make a contribution to the parcel tax, effective for the 2017 tax year.

Christenson said that historically, property owners were paying either $56.95 or $7.29 annually, depending on whether they chose to finance their share of the service over time or through a lump sum up front.

A referendum was held on June 27, 1998 to obtain support for taking on the debt, with 39 per cent of eligible Walters Cove voters casting a ballot.

A total of 24 people voted in favour while zero were opposed.

Walters Cove is located on the west coast of Vancouver Island.

It is best known for the Walters Cove Resort fishing lodge in Kyuquot which is accessible by either boat or floatplane via Fair Harbour, northwest of Campbell River.

Besides cell phone usage, is there anything else in today’s cars that you would ban from use while driving?

Safety Tip: It’s time we all agree to leave our phones alone when we’re behind the wheel – every call, text or tweet can wait. Taking your eyes off the road significantly reduces your reaction time.

Public speaking has always come easy for Debra DiGiovanni. She loved it when it was first introduced in elementary school and that stuck with her until an oral communication class in post secondary.

She went on to call

It just so happened that one of the receptionists/ tour guides at Much had quit. DiGiovanni started the next day.

“I just ended up being the entertainment for classes visiting from Montreal and grade sevens from Oakville, it didn’t matter I just liked the audience,” she said.

A friend that she met through that job encouraged her to try standup comedy. In January of 2000, at 27 years old, DiGiovanni took to the stage for the first time, and it was a magical “all of the stars aligned” moment in her life.

“Me and stand-up we are just good together, good chemistry,” she said.

DiGiovanni has been doing stand-up comedy ever since. She has appeared in Canadian stand up specials on CTV and the Comedy Network, she has done sets on Comedy Central, she was a finalist on the fifth season of Last

“

and told her to throw away her notes and just go on stage and have fun.

“That really changed things for me,” she said.

Her show has changed in other ways as well since she first started out. DiGiovanni said she is more honest now, and perhaps a little bit less peppy.

But some things have remained the same. Even though she doesn’t use notes on stage, she still writes out her set.

“Not a lot of comics do that but I just write it out, even if I never look at it,” she said. “There is something about brain to paper that just organizes it for me.”

DiGiovanni is in living in Los Angeles to pursue a career in TV, she said, but at the moment she doesn’t know what that looks like whether it be as a writer, an actor or perhaps a host. She loves stand up and will never stop performing but she is looking for another medium.

As for the comedy scene, DiGiovanni said it is slowly changing for the better. Being a woman

THEY SAID IT: “There is nothing more gratifying than making a man who didn’t want to laugh laugh.”

Comic Standing, and she has travelled the world, doing comedy festivals in Portland, Glasgow and Sydney. She even has a stand up DVD called Single, Awkward, Female.

On Sept. 30 she starts a Canadian tour with dates in Calgary, Vancouver and Nanaimo. She will be in Campbell River at the Tidemark on Oct. 19.

For the first three years of her career DiGiovanni wrote out her shows like monologues. It was only after floundering through a show where she stumbled on her script and couldn’t save herself that she loosened up a little. A comic came up to her after the show

in comedy means there are less opportunities to be in shows. She said if there are six acts at an event only one of them will be a woman.

“It is a boys game, it

really, really is,” she said.

“I’m just glad it isn’t stopping women from doing comedy.”

When she started out 16 years ago DiGiovanni said only two out of every

10 comics was a woman and now it is pretty close to half and half. However, there is still that stereotype that ‘women aren’t funny.’ She said she sees it in the crowd when she takes the stage after a man people in the audience lean back and cross their arms or head to the bar for a drink.

“There is nothing more gratifying than making a man who didn’t want to laugh, laugh,” she said.

For aspiring comedians out there, DiGiovanni’s advice is to get on stage.

“If you live in a town that doesn’t have stand up comedy, make it yourself,” she said. “It’s repetition, repetition repetition.”

DiGiovanni will be in Vancouver at the Biltmore Cabaret on Oct. 16, Nanaimo at the Port Theatre on the 18, Campbell River at the Tidemark on the 19 and Victoria at Hecklers on the 20.

She said she is hoping to spend her days exploring the area with some local friends.

The next stop on her tour is Montreal.

Gourmet Essentials: Aiming to make your house a haven KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

I

t was a forestry job that brought Jack Turley to Campbell River. It’s homewares, success and loyalty that have kept him here.

Hired on as engineer for what was then Fletcher Challenge, Turley and his wife Stevie packed up their lives in Duncan and relocated to Campbell River in 1988.

Three years later, the pair opened Gourmet Essentials in a small space a few blocks south of its current location on Shoppers Row. The store was modelled after a shop in Duncan that Turley says he and his wife both admired.

“We didn’t see anything else like it here,” says Turley, paving the way for Gourmet Essentials which started out as solely a kitchen store.

By 2002, however, the Turleys were ready to expand and they moved Gourmet Essentials into its current home.

The shop grew to include housewares and a bed and bath section.

“The business had grown to a point where both of us could work in the store and make a living at it,” says Turley, who, after 23 years in the forest industry, left his job in order to focus more on Gourmet

KRISTEN DOUGLAS/CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Gourmet Essentials Co-owner Jack Turley sorts through a selection of dish towels, just some of the many household products the store is known for.

Essentials. At that point, Stevie opened La Tee Da a few doors down on Shoppers Row and Turley began working full-time at Gourmet Essentials.

Fast forward, and the shop now has 25 years behind it. Turley attributes Gourmet Essentials’ success to a number of things but key is his principle of trying to sell items that you cannot find anywhere else in town.

“We’ve always taken the view that we want to carry products no one else is offering, that you can come into our store and see 9,000 square feet of stuff no one else in Campbell River is offering.

“It really comes down to, if I go into another store to shop, yeah I’m looking to see what’s on

their shelves but I’m also looking to see what’s not on their shelves,” says Turley, adding that he also attends trade shows in a bid to keep Gourmet Essentials current.

When they’re buying, they also keep the store’s slogan – ‘Everything to make your house a home and your home a haven’ – in mind.

“We’ve used that and lived by that since day one,” Turley says.

He also credits the staff for the store’s longevity.

“We’ve been blessed with extraordinary staff over the years and we do feel we offer exceptional customer service,” Turley says.

It’s a recipe that seems to work.

“We’ve developed a loyal customer base over the last 25 years and

Stevie and I have both learned to love Campbell River and we raised both of our kids here,” he says.

To give back to the community that has given so much to them, the Turleys provide instore gift wrapping in exchange for voluntary donations to the Campbell River Hospital Foundation. The service has generated about $1,500 each year for the non-profit foundation.

“Everybody’s going to use the hospital eventually, unfortunately,” says Turley about why they chose the Hospital Foundation.

Plus it’s a way to show a small token of appreciation.

“The town continues to support us and we’re grateful for that,” Turley says.

Revamped Fall Festival at Haig Brown House celebrates the environment, local food and community MIKE DAVIES

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

As acting mayor Charlie Cornfield told the crowd at the Fall Festival at Haig Brown House, the grass may have been damp, but it didn’t dampen the spirits of the people of Campbell River in celebrating the area’s environmental initiatives and strategies.

“I was amazed when I pulled up and couldn’t find a parking spot,” Cornfield joked while

welcoming the crowd to the annual event, which received somewhat of a makeover this year.

“I came to the very first one of these, and it was a lot easier to find a spot,” Cornfield said, adding that the event has been a fixture of the community since its inception, thanks to the enthusiasm of Campbell Riverites who care about the natural world that surrounds us in this part of the world.

“I really have to thank

the Greenways Land Trust,” Cornfield said, “and all the volunteers who help to facilitate all the conservation efforts we’ve got going on here in Campbell River – and believe me, there’s a lot.

If you look at Campbell River, we excel at it. We’re the only community that I’m aware of that has a stewardship group on every creek, stream and river, which is really amazing, and that’s a reflection of the spirit of the people of

Campbell River – which is what drew me to move to Campbell River in the first place.”

The event is held in September each year on International Rivers Day, to recognize the importance of our waterways, “but also to pay homage to those community members and groups involved in local conservation efforts and celebrate what we produce, prepare and distribute locally,” said Bruce Izard, president of the board of

the Museum at Campbell River Society, who put the event on each year.

“It’s also a day to enjoy this property – which is a real hidden gem within this community – and honour the legacies of Roderick and Anne Haig Brown and their work in education, conservation, social justice and preserving this natural environment,” Izard said.

C or n f i e l d a g re e d wholeheartedly.

“We are blessed that they made Campbell

River their home and left such a rich legacy to our community,” he said, adding he was especially excited about the festival’s new approach this year.

“For the first time, we’ve got a food market aspect happening,” which, he said, is an encouraging move for the event, since the city has a goal of producing 10 per cent of its own food by 2031.

Other activities and events at the festival

included craft stations for the kids (or the young-at-heart), nature walks along Kingfisher Creek, the always popular Puppet Theatre put on by the Museum at Campbell River, a silent auction with the proceeds going towards the Haig Brown Writerin-Residence program, music by local artists Aubrey Burke and Beth Supple and the presentation of the City of Campbell River’s annual Stewardship Awards.

Premier funds water, firefighter help for communities TOM FLETCHER BLACK PRESS

Premier Christy Clark speaks to local government representatives at their convention in Victoria Wednesday.

Horgan blasts Clark’s record on communities TOM FLETCHER BLACK PRESS

A combative NDP leader John Horgan reminded B.C. community leaders Thursday that Premier Christy Clark’s ministers haven’t always been as welcoming to them as they are at their annual convention.

Horgan recalled Clark pointing to local governments holding up new housing developments and Housing Minister Rich Coleman’s response to concerns about an affordable housing crisis, “and I quote, some people just have to get up and whine every day.”

He also quoted Communities Minister Peter Fassbender telling Metro Vancouver communities two weeks ago to “suck it up” and pay for their share of new transit. The municipal share has dropped from 33 per cent to 17 thanks to an increased contribution from the federal government, a fact Clark didn’t

mention in her speech to delegates on Wednesday, Horgan said.

Both leaders gave campaign-style speeches to the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Victoria this week, the last annual gathering of mayors, councillors and regional district representatives before next spring’s provincial election. Fassbender is to close the convention with his speech Friday.

Horgan repeated his vow that an NDP government would increase its provincial share for

transit funding from 33 to 40 per cent, leaving local governments to contribute only 10 per cent. That formula would extend to costshared infrastructure in all communities, he said.

Horgan said Clark’s top priority for the Lower Mainland is a $3.5 billion bridge to replace the Massey tunnel under the Fraser River, a low priority for local communities. Meanwhile, the Vancouver Board of Trade and the B.C. Federation of Labour are in rare agreement that

increased transit should be the priority, he said.

Horgan estimates his transit increase would cost the province an extra $50 million a year.

Responding for the B.C. Liberal government, Advanced Education Minister Andrew Wilkinson called Horgan’s speech a “scattergun approach to government,” and referred to the government’s recently announced $500 million fund to subsidize low-cost housing.

“We’re hearing from the NDP that they want to build things, but we’re saying, let’s do things that work,” Wilkinson said. “Things like rent subsidies, things like housing for the vulnerable.”

Horgan said the housing fund will be a constant source of new announcements in the months to come, predicting a pre-election spending spree after years of denying that a housing crisis exists.

‘Ask us about pick-up &/or delivery options’

In what looked and sounded like a road-test of her 2017 election campaign, Premier Christy Clark used her annual speech to municipal leaders Wednesday to announce new funds for water systems and benefits for forest firefighters.

Speaking to a packed room of local politicians at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Victoria, Clark committed $148 million to a clean water and wastewater fund for communities.

That funds a third of the costs, with federal contributions raised to 50 per cent, leaving local governments to raise the remainder.

Clark praised B.C. Government Employees’ Union president Stephanie Smith for pushing to extend her union’s benefits to seasonal for-

est fire-fighters, several of whom joined Clark and Smith to address the media after her speech.

Smith said about 200 firefighters will receive benefits this year, and more in future years.

Clark also announced an additional $10 million to support a drug addiction treatment centre, research and health care training in response to the growing opioid overdose epidemic that has spread from B.C. across the country. Clark touted the benefits of the Pacific Northwest LNG project in northwestern B.C., which was given federal approval this week. Taking questions after the speech, she would not predict when the Petronas-led group of Asian investors would proceed with the $36 billion investment, but said China and India in particular are anxious to move to natural gas as a cleaner fuel. NDP

leader John Horgan described Clark’s speech as a repackaging of her 2013 election campaign, with “B.C. first” replacing “families first” and a promise to eliminate operating debt replacing one to pay off all debt with natural gas revenues. Horgan said the province needs to renew its focus on the forest industry. A sawmill in Merritt has announced it’s closing due to a lack of logs, while record log exports are being shipped out from coastal forests, he said.

“If we can send raw logs to Asia, we can get them up the Coquihalla,” Horgan said.

Clark said the B.C. and federal governments are focused on reaching a new lumber trade agreement with the United States, which appears poised to impose new duties on Canadian lumber as the old agreement runs out in October.

A Look Back

THE HISTORY OF THE CAMPBELL RIVER AREA Maria Carlotta Boond’s tangled web

INTO

BY JEANETTE TAYLOR

T

here were no twists of smoke rising from Maria Boond’s chimney. Nor were there any tracks in the snow around her cottage on the hill overlooking a jumble of seine boats and trollers in Quathiaski Cove.

That was odd. But lots of things were odd about Maria Carlotta Boond—so her neighbours didn’t intrude. However, when a young man came to see a piano Maria had for sale he was alarmed by the creepy silence of the place and alerted the people next door, who called the police. That’s when they found Maria and her lover William Rockey dead, stretched out on her bed.

This sensational story—all the more surprising for its fishing village setting—hit the national news in 1952. There was conflicting speculation about what had happened. One newspaper called it a double suicide, but some of Maria’s neighbours thought the couple had drunk poisoned wine left as a trap by Maria’s late husband. Others thought it was Maria who concocted the lethal drinks because her lover was a two-timing man, a theory police eventually accepted and the case was closed. But the question remained: What would drive Maria Boond to this cruel end? Her family history offers clues.

When Maria, her thenhusband Sam Boond and her mother had first arrived on Quadra Island, on the cusp of the Great Depression in 1931,

she cast a swirl of intrigue about herself. Much of what she claimed has now been proved false or inflated by descendants assembling the facts from scattered public records. The truth has more colour than any of Maria’s inventions.

Maria’s mother was raised in

privilege, the child of a British Major General stationed in India. While in England for school she met Maria’s father, a dashing Brazilian naval officer who had explored the Amazon River. She was just sixteen when they were married and probably did not yet know about his recent divorce, the

result of a scandal over charges of abuse and infidelity. What she understood was that he was a nobleman, with the title chevalier (the French equivalent of sir), who was in charge of a Brazilian import business and a British emigration scheme. But within months of their marriage his business failed and instead of gracing European courts, as Maria told islanders, her father (and likely her mother too) spent several years in a debtor’s prison.

Maria was born late into what must have been a difficult marriage. Her mother was 46 and her father died within months, which leads descendants to wonder if Maria was actually the child of a ‘siblings,’ one of whom was a stunt woman in a travelling magic show. After her father’s death, Maria’s mother/grandmother did piece work for a magnetic motorcar company to keep the family afloat. And later, when Maria immigrated to Canada as a young adult, her mother followed.

On Canada’s west coast— thousands of miles from home—Maria told her new friends her mother, who lived in quiet retirement, was a titled aristocrat who had once been a lady-in-waiting to Queen Victoria. When her mother died in 1937, Maria erected a fine headstone for the “Countess de Almeida Portugal”—an epitaph that still causes intrigue in the island’s rustic cemetery. Maria wrote lavish obituaries, with pointed details that lent voracity to her claims, as did her

blueblood eccentricity.

Maria grew increasingly peculiar after her mother died.

While shopping at the Cove’s little store she routinely slipped some of her purchases into her handbag, but the storekeeper added them to her monthly bills, which Maria paid without argument. She transformed her Mini Minor car as a taxi, but she was a wild driver so only the desperate used her services.

And long after her mother had died Maria walked the island’s narrow dirt roads in deep conversation with her.

For all of that, however, Maria was an attractive woman, with her blond curls and her passion for painting and tennis, so when her husband died in 1950 (or perhaps, as some suggest, before he died) she took up with William Rockey.

Two years later, in 1952, she was clearing out her house in readiness for a trip home to England and a move to Alberta—when she and William Rockey were found dead.

Two former wives stepped forward to claim Rockey’s remains and he was given a war vet’s funeral, while Maria was buried in a criminal’s quiet ceremony in Campbell River.

As her father had done before her, Maria had reinvented herself as a woman of nobility and prestige in a country far from the prying eyes of home.

But the glittering persona she had built and tended with such care could not dispel the incurable sting of a hardscrabble reality.

Frederick (Fred) Linz

August 1947 – September 2016

1938 – 2016 It’s with heartfelt sadness to announce the passing of our dear friend, Fred. He leaves behind his two brothers Roy and Brian and their families in England.

Also, many good friends here in Campbell River and across the world. He will be greatly missed.

There will be a celebration held in Fred’s honour on Saturday, October 1st at the Legion Hall, 301-11th Avenue from 2pm-4pm.

Arthur Ramm

January 2, 1925-September 26, 2016 It is with sad hearts that we announce Arthur Ramm’s passing at the age of 91, in his sleep, with family by his side on September 26, 2016.

Art was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba on January 2, 1925. He is survived by his wife, Simone, of 69 years, and five children: Gary (Louise) Ramm, Janice (Rick) Elliot, Ron (Darlene) Ramm, Cindy (Lonny) Chorchuk, and Terry Ramm. He is also survived by 15 grandchildren, 17 great grandchildren and three great great grandchildren. In addition, he is survived by one sister in Calgary, Alberta and one brother in Winnipeg, Manitoba as well as numerous relatives and close friends of whom many were like family.

Art was predeceased by one son, Gordon Ramm, of Campbell River, in 2010 as well as three sisters from Winnipeg, Manitoba.

In Art’s 37 years in Campbell River, he was well known for his volunteering with The Eagles as well as the Bike Shop for the RCMP. He was also a member of the Campbell River Curling Club.

The family would like to thank Dr. Wu, Dr. Zorn and the third floor Nursing staff for their compassion and care of our father during his short stay at the hospital. We would also like to thank the Ironwood Place staff for all their attention and help with our dad.

He will be sadly missed by all who knew him. Thank you everyone for all your love, support and prayer during this difficult time.

There will be a Celebration of Life this Saturday, October 1, 2016 at The Eagle Hall 1490 Marwalk Crescent at 1-4pm. In lieu of flowers, please feel free to make a donation in Art’s name to the charity of your choice.

FUNERAL HOMES

There’s a party goin’ on in heaven and everyone is there. Elvis is there, and Roy Orbison too and now Keith has joined them. There is singing and dancing. It’s a little bit rowdy but in a nice way. Keith has left behind all his cancer. Ernie and Lily (Keith’s parents) are there too, along with brother-in-law Derek and even our dog, Corky.

It’s a good time.

DONNA MCINNES

March 24 1953-September 19, 2016 Donna passed away unexpectantly and suddenly.

She is predeceased by her parents Ellen (1995) and Bob (2007), her sister Carol Jean (1963), her beloved nephew Mike (2011), her great grandson baby Ryan and her little buddy Oscar the puggy.

Keith had a wonderful life. He had a happy childhood in the UK (Manchester and then Blackpool) and then left home to join the merchant navy and sailed all over the world. He saw Canada when his sister emigrated and moved himself there, joining Shell Oil to deliver fuel to the Inuit communities in the Eastern Arctic. All this time he was going through the levels to become a Master Mariner (ship’s captain to us landlubbers).

An opportunity came up to run the marine fleet for Gulf Oil out of their Toronto office and Keith thought he would try it to see if he could enjoy life ashore. He met Chris at that office and never went to sea permanently again. They married and had two kids, Ken and Jill.

Gulf moved the family to Calgary in the 80’s where Keith had the exciting job of building a Marine Department from scratch and hiring a team of professional mariners to run a fleet of Arctic ice breakers and supply ships to support the offshore drilling program in the Western Arctic. In the 90’s that program was shelved, the equipment sold and a golden handshake left the family free to move to Vancouver Island.

Keith then started his own companies and offered himself as a consultant and ice expert to the marine industry. He was very successful and in demand for studies and ice piloting work.

He piloted expedition ships to the Arctic and Antarctic.

We have lived in Campbell River over 23 years and daughter, Jill, married a local lad, Gord, and they now have two sons, Alex and Jack.

Son, Ken, has taken to the sea himself on the cruise ships and travels the world as a Cruise Director. Keith enjoyed his golf and soccer and he and Chris had a wonderful semi-retirement travelling the world.

We will all miss Keith terribly. He was a wonderful husband and father.

He was a warm, funny, strong and determined man. He livened the place up wherever he went. He loved to sing Elvis and he loved to laugh. He will be sorely missed by his sisters, Wendy and Barbara (Larry), and his nieces and nephews. He leaves behind many friends all over the world. So party on, Keith, and save a place on the dance floor for Chris when it’s her time to join you. Thank you for being you.

She will be sadly missed by her best friend and husband of 37 years, Dave Cornish, his son James and grandson Landon. Donna’s whole life centered around her only daughter Carrie-Lynn (Dean), her grandson Cody (Katelyn) and her only great-grandson little Noah. She will also be deeply missed by her brothers Bruce, Roddy (Corky), and Roger McInnes. Her very special niece Karla (Mike) and nephew Robby (Michelle); nieces and nephews Kris, Shane, Dylan, Aaron, Tamara, Scott and Halo. Sisterin-law Kris McInnes and Brenda McInnes. Aunt Barb McInnes and her family. Her close friends Sharon (Anthony) Morasky, Carmine Hill, Monica Oakford, and many other family and friends.

Donna was born in Campbell River, BC. She was raised in C.R. and various logging camps on the coast such as Camp 5 and Owen Bay. She is one of the original Painter/Barclay kids and never forgot her roots or the people she grew up with. Donna spent most of her life being a caretaker to her family and many others she was extremely devoted to Dave and loved him and her family very much. Her door was always open and you could talk to Donna about anything, she took everybody under her wing and had a way of making you feel like family even if you weren’t. She was known as Nan or Aunty Donna by many generations. She will be extremely missed, she was the heart and soul of her family and the world is a darker place without her. The family would like to thank the paramedics, the emergency team at Campbell River hospital and the ICU team at St.Paul’s.

A Celebration of Life will be held for Donna at 1:00pm on Sunday, October 2nd at the Eagles Hall 1999 14th Ave, Campbell River BC.

Media: the Absent force to blame for this misrepresentation of our predicament. Its efforts to provide balanced coverage is an admirable goal when exploring the broad dimensions of a controversial issue.

But not every subject is equally controversial.

On the matter of climate change, the media continually juxtaposes messages of alarm with those of reassurance, thereby inflating the importance of minority opinions and giving the impression that the political initiatives being enacted are sufficient to address the problem.

But the science is conclusive. Climate change

is happening, the consequences will be serious, and will not be averted by the present pledges of greenhouse gas emission reductions.

As extreme weather disasters proliferate and heat records are regularly broken, the searching reporter and inquisitive camera can always find someone who will attribute the cause to an El Niño year — only one-fifth the effect, by scientific reckoning — or some other extenuating circumstance.

In the meantime, however, valuable time passes, we lose opportunities for corrective measures, and we enter further into the multiple and irreversible mani-

OF GREEN Ray Grigg

The sobering reports coming from almost all scientists confirm that the response of the media to the unfolding climate crisis is not proportional to the seriousness of the problem.

This incongruity between the scientific assessments and the media coverage creates the impression that our greenhouse gas emissions are a manageable challenge, that our corrective measures are adequate, and that we can avoid ecological catastrophe.

The opposite on each point almost certainly applies.

The media is largely

www.CampbellRiverMirror.com www.CampbellRiverMirror.com

Opinion

veys the impression that the victims are wholly innocent. Sympathy is implicit for those who suffer the effects of floods, droughts, wildfires, hurricanes and the other expressions of extreme weather.

But so-called “Acts of God” are increasingly becoming “Acts of Man”.

What does the media do with the growing complexities of sympathy when the suffering is self-inflicted?

The obvious solution is to avoid the issue of human blame. So anthropogenic climate change is downplayed in respectful deference to the victims. The actual cause, the unmentionable that pervades every

such news report, is silenced beneath the drama of tragedy. Like the two incompatible realities in cognitive dissonance, the cause and the effect cannot be connected without violating our ethical sensibilities.

So the collective consciousness of our culture, as cultivated by the media, disconnects our behaviour from its consequences.

While this avoids a confrontation with the seriousness of the climate problem, it impairs the possibility of implementing solutions. That which we should be saying remains unsaid. We do not acknowledge the truth we know.

In Boats in my Blood, Farrell tells the story of his life – the highs (innovative boat designing, steady work) and lows (bad business dealings and over enthusiastic nights on the town). Through sharing his memories of growing up in Pender Harbour, North Vancouver and Vancouver Island, Farrell provides an entertaining portrait of fishing village life in the 1940s and 1950s and his sharp eye for detail and humour makes

Coastal Fire Centre lifts campfire and open fire bans All open fires are once again permitted throughout the Coastal Fire Centre’s jurisdiction.

Tiki torches, burn barrels, fireworks, sky lanterns and binary exploding targets are also permitted.

Accumulated rain and cooler temperatures has reduced the wildfire risk in the region. Local governments may still have their own burning restrictions in place, always check with local authorities before lighting any fire of any size. Anyone lighting a Category 3 fire must first obtain a burn registration number by calling 1-888797-1717. A Category 3 fire is a fire that burns: material more than two metres high or three metres wide; stubble or grass over more than 2,000 square metres; or more than two piles of any size. A poster explaining the different categories of open fires is available online at http://ow.ly/jdO5301kS32. Anyone who lights a fire must comply with air quality control legislation and must have sufficient personnel, water and tools on hand to stop the fire from escaping.
