TYEE

Ten years after a unique wetland near Jubilee Parkway was destroyed, city council has approved a remediation plan that involves property as compensation as well as the recreation of a portion of the wetland.

The compensation/restoration plan totals 3.8 hectares and was approved by city council at its Monday meeting in an effort to address 2.2 ha of wetlands disturbed by Parkway Properties Ltd. during development of a subdivision on the opposite, northern side of Jubilee. The 3.8 ha represents a 2:1 compensation ratio (which was based on literature and best practices) for 1.9 ha of fen that cannot be remediated or recreated.

The fen wetland, which is a type of peat land, was infilled with mineral soils between 2006 and 2012 as developers worked on a potential extension of Willow Creek Road across Jubilee Parkway to the site in question in order to facilitate development.

Parkway maintains that it believed the fen was simply another pocket of glacial till that wouldn’t drain, similar to what the developers had encountered previously in the same general area.

But in 2014 a citizen’s complaint prompted the city to launch an investigation. The city determined that a fen wetland had been disturbed and the hydrology in the area altered. Parkway was issued a remedial action notice, ordering Parkway to fix what was ruined.

Decision reached On Monday, nearly three years after the remedial action notice was first presented to Parkway, coun-

The Oyster River Fire Department was out shovelling the driveways of elderly residents during last Friday’s snowstorm.

City gives owners of cluttered property an extension KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

City council is showing some leniency toward a Hilchey Road couple who have yet to comply with a city order to clear their property of piled up household items.

At Monday’s council meeting, council gave Betty and Doug Craig a deadline extension to clean up their property that has been the subject of numerous complaints over the years.

City Bylaw Officer Pat Patterson said the yard surrounding the home is a source of concern for neighbours.

“This property has a long history of complaints and compliance issues resulting from continuous and on-going accumulation of materials,” Patterson said.

“Island Health officials have been contacted, however, they explained that unless the individual requests assistance, there is no action that can be

taken to address hoarding.”

The city has attempted to stay on top of the issue through its remedial action tool.

In September, the city put the Craigs on notice that they had 30 days to clean up their property.

At the Nov. 21 council meeting, the Craigs – through Ed White who spoke on their behalf – requested council rescind that order.

White said the Craigs had gone to great lengths to clean up their property, insured the motor home sitting in their driveway as requested by the city, and boxed up and tidied personal possessions that had piled up in the yard.

At that meeting, council said it would send city bylaw officers to the Hilchey Road home to confirm White’s assessment. At last week’s council meeting, though, Patterson reported there is still a “substantial” amount of unsightly

The city’s bylaw officer documented all of these items cluttering a property on Hilchey street on Nov. 30. The owners have been given a deadline extension of February to clean up the property.

materials strewn about the property.

“As council is aware, complaints over the unsightliness of the Craig’s property have been going on for many years,” Patterson said.

“Although demolitions and clean-ups have occurred in the past, more items continue to be brought onto the property. It is anticipated that this property will continue to generate

future complaints if the issue of hoarding is not addressed.”

Patte rs on re c om mended council keep the remedial action requirement in effect but give the Craigs an additional 60 days to clean up their property. Council agreed to a deadline extension of Feb. 10, 2017, albeit somewhat reluctantly.

“I do have some concerns around precedent and our bylaw officers

are working very, very hard to do this,” said Coun. Michele Babchuk.

“I will be supporting ’til February the 10th but I will state right up front that the idea of me extending it any further would probably not happen.”

Betty Craig said in a letter to council that the items the city wants removed are not visible from the street as they are behind a 10-foot

hedge around the property. But, she said she is still making an effort to clean up.

“I am presently working on (the) materials in my backyard of what I am keeping and what is going to the dump,” she wrote.

But photos taken by the city bylaw officer on Nov. 30 do not show a lot of progress when compared to photos taken in the same spot on Aug. 26. In the November photos, items are still visibly strewn about the property. That concerned Coun. Colleen Evans.

“When I look at the pictures in the (staff ) report I see very little indication of work that has been done, but again maybe the pictures weren’t in the area that was the focus of the work,” Evans said.

“I have great concerns about this. My concern is what will happen between now and February that hasn’t happened

in the previous allotment of time to clean this up?

I will support (the extension) but I think we need some real indication,” Evans added. “Certainly not from what we’ve seen in the pictures would give me any confidence that this is going to create an enhancement and remove some concerns from the neighbours.”

Doug Craig said he was grateful to council for the leeway.

“Thank you for your patience,” he said.

Mayor Andy Adams thanked the Craigs for coming to council and said he hopes to put the issue to rest soon.

“We do extend best wishes and hope that we can have this resolved so that we’re not back here again.”

Patterson said that if the Craigs do not meet the February deadline, city contractors will be hired to clean up the property and the Craigs will be invoiced for the costs.

School District wants proper funding for special needs students

FRIDAY, FRIDAY, DECEMBER DECEMBER 16, 16, 2016 2016 || CAMPBELL CAMPBELL RIVER RIVER MIRROR MIRROR || 55

MIKE DAVIES CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The provincial government recently announced an additional $1 million in funding to boost support for special needs students in “specialized independent schools,” and the board of School District 72 says public schools need that support, too.

In a letter sent this week to Education Minister Mike Bernier, signed by board chair Susan Wilson on behalf of the board, the district says it “strongly feel[s] that this financial support should also be offered for students in our public schools as well,” and requests that the $2,000 that has been offered for supporting special needs students in “independent schools” also be made available “for all students that have been designated as having special needs in the public education system.”

The board admits in its letter that it does not have access to details surrounding the current state of funding special needs supports in “independent” schools relative to students in the public system, “but experience and anecdotal evidence as well as the report of the Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services indicates that the level of funding for special needs children is inadequate.”

BC Ferries adds extra sailings throughout the holiday season

From Dec. 21 through Jan. 3, BC Ferries is adding over 135 extra sailings on major routes to ensure smooth sailing over the holiday season.

Ninety-eight sailings have been added to the Tsawwassen – Swartz Bay route, which is the busiest route in the fleet.

Thirty-eight extra sailings are scheduled between Horseshoe Bay and Departure Bay. Dec. 23 is expected to be the busiest preChristmas travel day.

Post-Christmas, heavy traffic is expected Dec. 26 - 28, with Dec. 27 expected to be the busiest day of the holiday season.

BC Ferries has posted a calendar of forecasted busy sailings for the major routes on its web-

site, which is a great tool to consult when making holiday travel plans.

Starting Dec. 22, the schedules have been expanded on the three routes utilizing the Horseshoe Bay terminal (Horseshoe Bay – Departure Bay, Horseshoe Bay – Langdale and Horseshoe Bay – Bowen Island) to allow more in-dock time during this peak period in order to maintain on-time performance.

The Departure Bay and Bowen Island routes will revert to the regular schedules on Jan. 3.

Due to the upcoming major construction project at the Langdale terminal in January, the expanded Langdale schedule will continue beyond the holidays.

“

THEY SAID IT: “Victoria boasts some great holiday activities .”

– Janet Carson, BC Ferries vice president

BC Ferries reminds customers travelling in vehicles with reservations to inform the ticket agent that they have a reservation when they drive up to the booth.

This self-identification helps expedite the ticketing process.

“For customers looking to get away this winter, BC Ferries Vacations is offering holiday retreats to Victoria and Vancouver that include

No changes to curbside waste collection over holidays Tree chipping available starting Jan. 2

City of Campbell River residents who take their garbage and recyclables to the curb are reminded that there will be no changes in days for waste collection this year.

While residents are encouraged to recycle as much as possible, from Dec. 26 to Jan. 8, Emterra will accept extra garbage during curbside collection to help people clear away after the holidays.

No tags will be required for extra containers, but

the weight limit still applies. Each container must weigh no more than 20 kg or 44 pounds.

“Although extra garbage will be accepted, we remind residents that’s it’s going to a landfill with limited capacity,” says Drew Hadfield, the City’s transportation manager. “We encourage residents to find creative ways to reduce, reuse and recycle during the holiday. For green gift ideas, consider mak-

ing a donation to a cause supported by family or friends, or give gift certificates for local services such as a restaurant, movie passes, swimming or skating passes, a massage or other activities.”

Residents are also encouraged to recycle Styrofoam packaging, plastic wrap, and glass at the Island Return It Centre on Willow Street or at the Campbell River Waste Management Centre on Argonaut Road.

“Victoria boasts some great holiday activities such as the Festival of Trees at the Fairmont Empress and The Bay Centre, and the Magic of Christmas is always popular at Butchart Gardens.

“In Vancouver, the Christmas Market is in full swing at Jack Poole Plaza and the Capilano Suspension Bridge looks stunning with the Canyon Lights display.”

For any shoppers looking for last minute gift ideas, give the gift of travel.

BC Ferries’ gift certificates are great gifts and are available online.

Our View

Equality battle is not over yet The selection of Viola Desmond as the new face to our $10 bills is already starting to raise some eyebrows.

Desmond’s story is not only powerful, but intriguing. A successful businesswoman, one of the standout movements in her life came when she refused to be relegated to the black section of a movie theatre, challenging and raising awareness about segregation in Canada.

There are, of course, some who say she isn’t as deserving as other candidates. That’s an argument with no end, though, since all of the candidates—Pauline Johnson; Elsie MacGill; Bobbie Rosenfield and Idola Saint-Jean—have their supporters and good arguments they deserved the honour.

Others, though, are saying Desmond shouldn’t be there because honouring a black female advocate for social justice in this way implies Canada is farther ahead in equality than it is. And that’s true. Canada isn’t as close to our own self-image as a social justice leader as we would like. The battle for equal wages, equal rights and fair treatment for all is a long way from being over.

But that isn’t to say we haven’t made progress. We sincerely hope there is no theatre left, anywhere in Canada, where Desmond would be told to sit in the back.

Putting Desmond on the $10 bill isn’t a way of saying the battle for equality has been won. The message it sends is that we recognize there is a battle.

About a year ago, Stuart McLean was diagnosed with melanoma.

For those of you who don’t know what melanoma is, it’s a type of skin cancer, and for those of you who don’t know who Stuart McLean is … well, I’m a little upset with you, but I’ll tell you anyway.

McLean started out by making radio documentaries back in the late 1970s and early 80s for the CBC program Sunday Morning, eventually becoming the show’s executive producer.

He then became a frequent guest and sometimes-host of Morningside with Peter Gzowski.

Then, on one fateful day in 1994, McLean aired a show he’d written and produced as a summer replacement for the CBC called The Vinyl Cafe. Within a couple of years the show was being broadcast nationwide every Sunday at Noon. And it’s been going on the air weekly ever since. Which is astonishing, considering The Vinyl Cafe is basically just McLean telling stories he’s made up

Are they stoned?

A four-member panel studying the future viability of the beleaguered Canada Post Corporation this week released its 94-page report, “Canada Post in the Digital Age.” The panel notes the legalization of marijuana “could present a new revenue potential” for Canada Post, “which stands to capture a large part of the recreational shipment volume.” The panel also contemplates charging fees for door-to-door mail delivery and installing more community mailboxes.

The panel says the “impact” of Canada Post not carrying through with its community mailbox program – controversial for the increased vandalism and thievery these boxes clearly invite – could be offset by annual fees of $22 per address, or $88 “if only applied to addresses receiving door-to-door delivery.”

User fees? C’mon. Our taxes are already keeping this bloated boat afloat. Furthermore, delivering “recreational pot” through the mail, into community mailboxes, will provide more incentive for thieves to go fishing about in them in hopes of scoring a high.

A parting question: If Canada Post delivers statesanctioned recreational pot through the mail, if legalization comes to be, what’s to stop drug dealers from doing the same, with who knows what added into their “product?” Currently, the Canada Post Corporation Act blocks police from getting warrants to seize mail in all cases not constituting a national security risk.

And we could all be Morley, who, despite – and probably in part because of – our husband’s bumbling nature at times, loves him just the way he is.

There haven’t been any new Dave and Morley stories for a while, but I’ve been perfectly happy to listen to the old ones when they air. As of January, however, I won’t be able to do that. McLean announced this week that it’s not fair to take airtime away from people making new content just to keep running his old stories, told on a stage years ago in front of an audience on one of his crosscountry tours. After all, he was given a chance to make something as a gap-filler once. Now he’s giving someone else a turn to try. Anyway, I guess this is just my little “Thank-you” to Stuart McLean for the years of laughter by myself in my car.

Sometimes I really needed it.

And maybe…hopefully…as McLean says in his announcement this week, “this isn’t goodbye. It’s just … so long for now.”

It is hard to believe that the year is drawing to a close. And even though we have not been sitting in the BC Legislature it has been a politically packed 2016, with the likely BC Liberal approval of the Kinder Morgan pipeline providing a depressing finale.

If we had been in Victoria we would have been able to ask Christy Clark about why she would be willing to sell out our coast by accepting the decision on the pipeline. This, just weeks after the sinking of the tug on the North Coast and the environmental impact that is having on marine life. The positive aspect of Legislature not sitting when it was supposed to is I’ve been able to use the time to talk to constituents. I’ve been holding a series of community consultations to hear what people’s concerns are and how we can work together to deal with them. Top of mind for many remains access to the Internet, two tiered electricity pricing, ferries and education. Other perennial problems include care for our seniors in our communities as well as better access to health care.

In the bigger picture people rightly remain concerned about Christy Clark pushing ahead with the Site C dam, at a huge cost to our environment and our financial bottom line. And now, adding to our worries about the environment

Opinion

Christy Clark when she was Education Minister in 2002 and continued after she become Premier. Her actions have left a generation of students deprived of adequate investment in their education.

I continue my work as Opposition transportation critic, with a particular focus on BC Ferries as well as the $3.5 billion plan to replace the Massey Tunnel with a 10-lane bridge. In this latter case we see once again the BC Liberals are acting in their own interests. The local view, expressed to me by local politicians and other living in nearby communities, is that such massive investment would be better spent on improving transit to relieve congestion.

Locally, I have been urging action on a number of highways and roads – whether joining the Mayor and others to lobby the Ministry of Forests for improvements to the Zeballos Forest Service road or working with Tahsis to push for repairs to the Head Bay Road which is in equally poor condition. As winter encroaches and we see more washouts, snow and ice I will continue to loudly adovcate for maintenance and investment in all our roads.

Wetland: Adjacent forest lands accepted as compensation for damaged fen

From Pg. 1

cil came to a decision on a remediation plan that Parkway will need to abide by.

That plan includes restoring 0.54 ha of two endangered trembling aspen forested wetlands on the perimeter of the former fen wetland, as well as compensation in the form of 2.1 ha of forested land owned by Parkway to the west of the wetlands. The forest land is adjacent to Woods Creek and a wetland riparian area complex.

Terri Martin, the city’s environmental specialist, said city staff feel those lands are fair compensation.

“We do believe those forest lands are of some value,” Martin said.

“They are fragmented and they do help to support the wetland and creek nearby. We think there’s value there.”

Fen lost As part of the remediation order, Parkway will also have to recreate 1.16 ha of wetland, albeit not a fen wetland.

a report to the city recommending recreating all 2.2 ha of disturbed fen, city staff, in consultation with its own QEP, Cascadia Biological Services and other QEPs, came to the conclusion that such action is just too difficult.

“There are a number of outstanding concerns with fen creation over the northern portion that appear to be unreasonable,” Martin said.

“It’s quite complicated to create a fen. We felt that with the two to three years of data collection to see if they could recreate those conditions, and the long distance expertise, made it challenging.

“It wouldn’t be a fen, but it would still provide some wetland functions.”

Parkway ‘satisfied’ Parkway said in a written statement to the Mirror on Wednesday that it’s pleased the city has put forward an amenable solution.

“We are satisfied with the revised Remedial Action Requirement solution that has been recommended to, and accepted by council,” wrote Dan Samson, president of Parkway Proper-

ties, on behalf of Parkway. “The company has been trying to resolve the issue ever since (the citizen’s complaint in early 2014).

“Nearly three years later, and after an investment of approximately $200,000 in reports and studies, the city and ourselves have agreed to complete a plan which includes Parkway Properties protecting the remaining fen, establishing a replacement wetland in the area that was filled, and providing additional compensation by protecting 20 acres (8.1 ha) of existing forest and adjoining wetlands within the 120 acre (48.6 ha) property that have important environmental and community amenity attributes.”

Samson said Parkway hopes to be able to put the issue behind them and look forward to the future.

“We believe that the proposed plan is consistent with the city policies of protecting community environmental values and with our history of being strong community supporters,” Samson said. “We are now looking forward to continu-

ing with the development of our lands and providing needed residential housing for our community.”

Not everyone’s happy Prior to making a decision on the wetlands, council on Monday received a letter from Cynthia Bendickson, expressing her disappointment with the remediation plan.

Bendickson, who is an employee of Greenways Land Trust – a local environmental organization that has previously urged the city to request Parkway recreate the fen wetland – wrote her letter in a personal capacity but the message was the same.

“I am disappointed in the approach taken by city staff,” Bendickson wrote. “One of the ecosystem functions that the Jubilee fen provided was biological diversity in the form of rare species and ecological communities. In my opinion, this was the most important ecological function of the site. It seems unfair to the environment and our community that after the illegal infilling of a wetland, which con-

tained ancient red-listed ecological communities, we will likely end up with the protection of two relatively common ecosystem types – second-growth forest and a mineral-based wetland.”

complaint and the city launches an investigation. n July 2015: City of Campbell River issues a Remedial Action Requirement to Parkway. n Oct. 2015: The first deadline the city gives to Parkway to come up with a remedial action plan. n Nov. 30, 2015: A second deadline arrives and a plan is submitted

by QEP McElhanney recommending turning the fen into a grassy meadow. n Dec. 2, 2015: The provincial government advises Parkway that it has opened an investigation into Parkway’s actions. n December, 2015: Council shoots down the grassy meadow option and gives Parkway a new deadline of March 15, 2016 to come up with a new remediation plan. n March 4, 2016: Province sends an advisory letter to the city on its findings that Parkway has contravened the provincial Water Act by making changes in and about a stream without lawful authority and by failing to report damage to a stream. Province requests ‘like for like’ or

Fen was unique Martin acknowledged that the Jubilee wetland, which was one of the top 20 mapped within the city, was one of the 10 largest wetlands in Campbell River.

She also noted that it was isolated, or not connected by surface flow, from a stream or river system “thus providing unique and vital habitat.”

But, she added, the recreation of the wetland, albeit not be a fen, will still provide wetland functions, such as refuge for birds and other organisms.

Martin said that in the end, “it was a very tough call” and a “fairly long and complicated process.”

Timeline n 2006-2014: Parkway moves soil onto the wetlands, disturbing 2.2 ha of fen. n 2014: Citizen files a

‘as close as possible’ compensation and that total compensated lands will exceed the damage done. n March, 2016: McElhanney submits a new remedial action plan to the city, with three different options. n May, 2016: City continues to mull over the options but says it needs more information. n June, 2016: There is an impasse as the parties cannot agree on compensation for the lost fen. n July, 2016: McElhanny issues another remedial action plan, this time suggesting that the entire area of disturbed fen could be feasibly recreated, though the recovery schedule could take 12 to 13 years. n September, 2016: Parkway tells city council it would prefer to offer up its forested lands as compensation in lieu of recreating the fen which they say there is no guarantee will be successful. n December, 2016: City council approves remedial action that involves forest land compensation, recreation of non-fen wetland, as well as retaining a portion of wetland not disturbed.

Quinsam Medical

It is with mixed emotions that I am announcing my retirement from active practice, effective March 1, 2017.

It has been a great pleasure providing for your health care needs over the years.

PROCESS

Quinsam Medical is actively looking for a new physician to join the practice but, unfortunately, we have not found anyone yet. Therefore, it is recommended that you look for a new physician as soon as possible.

I have greatly valued our relationship, and thank you for your loyalty and friendship over the years.

Best wishes for your future health.

capacity within the organization.”

The BCSSA also, Longridge says, partners with other organizations – such as the BC School Trustees’ Association – “to hold meetings and communicate and collaborate to move opportunities for students forward in B.C.” Trustee John Kerr says it will be nice for the BCSSA to have a president that comes from a smaller school district, to make it less likely that smaller districts’ voices will be drowned out by larger ones.

“I think it will be really great to have someone with experience outside the Lower Mainland and someone with experience in a mid-size school district leading that association,” said Trustee John Kerr. “I think that when overwhelming districts like those in the Lower Mainland, Victoria, Prince George, Kamloops and Kelowna come in, there will be someone at the table who can say, ‘this is the reality for the rest of us.’”

Tr u s t e e R i c h a r d Franklin also offered his congratulations, adding that he has known Longridge “for a long time, and from those early days until now, there’s a consistency to how much he respects and honours all learners, and I know he will be a strong voice for children in this province.”

Longridge’s role as president of the BCSSA will be in addition to his duties with SD72.

Storm thundering through the season … so far www.CampbellRiverMirror.com www.CampbellRiverMirror.com

MIKE DAVIES CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

I

t’s almost twothirds of the way through the current VIJHL season, and the Campbell River Storm sit atop not only their division, but also the league’s overall standings – and a few individual players have been having banner seasons thus far, as well.

The Storm head into this weekend’s games against the Nanaimo Buccaneers (tonight, Friday) and the Oceanside Generals (Sunday) 12 points ahead of the Buccaneers in the North Division and one point up on last year’s Cyclone Taylor Cup Champion Victoria Cougars in the overall standings.

So what has put them there?

“I think it’s our depth, for sure,” says Storm

head coach and general manager Lee Stone.

“We’ve lost three different defencemen to Junior A this year – which is awesome for them to be able to make that jump, but obviously that leaves some holes to fill and I think we’ve done a remarkable job of having guys step up and fill those roles.”

Speaking of filling roles, one of the season’s stand out players has definitely been goaltender Chris Smith, who currently leads the league in wins – he’s 19-1 – and goals against average (1.89) and has the secondbest save percentage in the league, sitting just behind Saanich’s Bryce Schiebel, who has only seen action in 12 games, compared to Smith’s 22.

He also has two more shutouts and has been on the ice for the more

time than anyone else in the league.

Smith was acquired this past off-season in a deal that sent defenceman Joe Gage to the Westshore Wolves so he could enter a trades program being offered at Camosun College – a deal that Stone says worked out well for everyone. “[Smith] is a guy who had expressed an interest in coming to Campbell River in the past, and for a variety of reasons we just couldn’t make it work, but once it did it ended up being a really good trade,” Stone says. “Rarely do you see trades, player for player, that work out as well as this one has for both teams. I mean, I think [Gage] is their captain now, and you can just look at Smitty’s numbers to see how he’s worked out for us,” he

adds with a laugh.

One of the reasons Smith is having success with the Storm, Stone says, is his work ethic.

“He’s totally on board with what we’re doing here,” Stone says. “He came from a team that maybe wasn’t on the ice as much as we are, and for some guys it’s a bit much to handle, but he came up here and works with the coaches on the ice every day, and he’s really thriving in that environment.”

But goaltending, Stone says, “is a team position.”

“There’s no question that Smitty has made saves to bail us out,

What the hell happened?

I As I got a bit older I too! tried to push the limits So Santa, the last a bit and would sneak few years my life has “new car” or “sport changed drastically. bike” onto the list.

RIDE James Durand

Dear Santa, remember years of wanting a long list of “stuff ” for Christmas.

It verged on greed and I was forced to trim down my wish list every Christmas several times before it was parent approved and could be sent your way.

I would try my best to be well behaved for at least the three months before Christmas but there were many slips along the way, and even then, you still had my back and have always done well by me.

I always got the perfect Hot Wheels, great games and you hit it out of the park when it came to sports gear. Lacrosse sticks, Moto helmet, Ski jacket…When I was seven I received a sweet bike that had motorcycle fenders, a gas tank and huge knobby tires... you probably remember.

Sorry about smashing the fender off Christmas Day, but those jumps were steeper than they looked.

When I was 10, I don’t remember trying particularly hard in school and I am sure I skipped at least half of my chores at home, but come Christmas Day, I woke up to a new moto-x bike and all the gear I needed to race. Good one Dude, that was an awesome year, and talk about surprised.

Opinion

nothing big, it won’t take up any space in the sled and the elves won’t have to build it, yet each year you have left me hanging.

Have I been bad? Do you think I’m too old to believe anymore? Is it my poor language, because I’ve been working on that. I leave homemade cookies and milk, plus a craft beer every Christmas Eve, but nothing in return.

I don’t know what else to do.

So, I am asking you one last time, and please don’t let me down. I’ve been really good this year and I promise to be even better next year!

And I’ll leave two craft beers this Christmas Eve. This year I ask for just one thing...again. Please add four more hours to each and every day. Two for sleeping and two for riding my mountain bike. PLEEEAAASE!!!

I’m James Durand and I’m Goin’ Ridin’…

So many great 3x2 gift ideas, let us help you find that perfect trinket Swicked for the cyclist in your life!

and, alternatively, there have maybe been one or two times where he’s let one in that he maybe shouldn’t have but the boys come back and get one back for him. That’s the beauty of having a really family atmosphere in the dressing room.

They want to go to battle for each other.”

But keeping the puck out of your own net is only half of the equation.

You also have to put the puck into the other one, and no one has been better at making that happen over the past few years than Colin Blake, who is once again on pace for another 80-plus point season.

“I don’t have to say much about Blakey,” Stone says with a laugh.

“Fans in town know exactly who he is. He’s in his fifth year with the team and I think he’s only 34 or 35 points away from breaking the all-time Storm record for points. Earlier this season he broke the alltime assist record. He’s such a high-end offensive guy,” Stone says.

Which can actually make things difficult, in some ways, for his coaches.

“We’re still trying to find someone to play on his wing,” Stone says.

“It’s hard to find someone who sees the game the same way he does.

He’s on another level in that way, for sure.”

But it’s not just his scoring prowess that makes Blake so valuable to the team.

“He’s really taken a leadership role over the last while,” Stone says. “He shows up to the rink and puts in the work, and does the little things outside the rink, too, and guys like that see those things translate to success on the ice.”

So what do the Storm have to do to finish out the season strong and head into the playoffs with a chance to win a second Cyclone Taylor Cup in three years?

“I don’t think there’s a specific area that’s a really gearing need or any specific goals for us going forward,” Stone says. “I think, talentwise, we’re right there

with the best teams in B.C.” What’s important in hockey is for teams to “get hot” when it’s important – right before playoffs start.

“Two years ago, we got hot at the right time and really came together in February, March and April and were able win it all,” Stone says. “Last year, I thought that we maybe peaked a little bit too soon. I think our best Hockey last year was in January and February, and come April, we weren’t ready for the provincial tournament.

We’d slowed down a little. You find at all levels of hockey.

“Even in the NHL, you sometimes see an 8th seed make it to the Stanley Cup finals and you think, ‘how does that happen?’ Well, regardless of skill and talent, you need to peak at the right time and be working together well at the end of the year, and if you are, you’re probably going to be pretty darn successful.

“That’s what we’re going to be looking for.”

welcome gift idea at Christmas and there are new products out each and every year. Some of the staple items like a fishing rod and reel and hooded jackets can be welcome gift.

I get a chance to drive to Sayward twice a week and looking at the various landscapes from Campbell River you have to give yourself extra time to get around.

It looks like a winter wonderland and the snow is here to stay for a while. Highway 19 heading north is drivable and open but roads branching off the main highway are covered with snow.

Many local lakes will be hard to get to but local rivers may be the optional choice to get out and fish.

With the snow and rain, river levels are high but are settling down. They are starting to clear and levels are dropping. Those hoping to get out fishing the Salmon River may be in a holding pattern but those who drift the river may be in for good fishing if you can get to the upper pools.

For catch and release trout, the Quinsam is fishable. On the fly egg patterns work. Also, silvered-

Quilting: a lifelong obsession

3x7

CR Kinsmen

ackee Thaysen’s favourite class to teach is ‘Quilting for beginners.’

“That first class they come in and they are like deer in the headlights – ‘I’m not sure I can do this,’” she says.

“By the end of that first class they have made one block and they are like ‘oh.’”

Thaysen sends them home with homework and when they come to the next class with two more blocks done, they know they can do it.

“It’s really satisfying,” she said.

Thaysen started quilting when her children were young, because she wanted quilts for them.

More than 30 years later, even after working full time in the profession, Thaysen still loves quilting.

A lot has changed since she first started with scissors and cereal boxes as her

only tools all those years ago.

Thaysen cuts up to eight pieces of fabric at once with a rotary cutter, which looks like a pizza cutter, not to mention the endless ideas and patterns that she can find online.

“I’ve got a [three inch] binder full of ideas,” she said. “I’d have to live to be 300 [to finish them all].”

Ideas don’t always end up in the book.

Thaysen said sometimes she sees something she likes and has to sit down and do it right away.

How much time each quilt takes depends on the pattern.

In some cases she cuts the fabric, sews it together and cuts it again before assembling the final pattern.

And even then just the top of the quilt is complete.

“People like to do the tops of the quilts, they don’t like doing the quilting of the three layers,” she said.

When she worked at

a quilt shop in North Vancouver, she did the quilting and sometimes the binding for those who only wanted to do the pretty part of the project.

Thaysen has been in Campbell River for the past six and a half years.

At the moment she is semi-retired, so no quilting is a full time hobby instead of a full time job.

She is a member of the Campbell River Friendship Quilters Guild, the Quadra Island Quilters Guild and a fibre arts group called Ten Fold.

She attends quilting retreats with each of the groups, as well as her friends from North Vancouver, where they quilt, eat, socialize and repeat.

For the last eight or so years, Thaysen’s sewing machine of choice has been her Pfaff, which she bought used at the time, though she said there are many good machines out there.

It’s �ime to say goodbye!

For those looking to purchase she said to go to a sewing shop instead of a department store.

She also hopes her students don’t cheap out on the fabrics that they bring to class.

They think, ‘oh this is my beginner quilt I don’t want to spend too much on fabric,”’ she says.

But no matter what they end of up with, a masterpiece and good fabric not only makes a quilt that lasts longer, it is also easier to work with.

Despite her 30 plus years of experience, Thaysen still spends time in the classroom and comes across patterns and techniques that challenge her.

In the beginning she did a lot of traditional quilting: simple, contrasting colours and symmetrical blocks with basic patterns.

Now she is getting more contemporary, with crazy colours, lines that aren’t straight and blocks that don’t repeat a pattern.

That is one of the reasons she enjoys being part of the Ten Fold group so much, there aren’t any rules.

“I’m all over that,” she says.

Thaysen regularly teaches quilting classes at the Community Centre.

Christmas is for the birds, and counting Do you enjoy birdwatching in the Campbell River area?

Well, the Campbell River Christmas Bird Count is a great way to meet fellow birders and to learn about the birds that make their home here.

This year’s count will be held on Monday, Jan. 2 from sunup to sundown (8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.).

Expert and novice birders are welcome to pre-register by contacting Luisa Richardson (see contact info below).

Participation is free or by a small donation ($5).

The teams head out at

sunrise to their arranged meeting place and spend the day covering the upland, urban and ocean-front habitats in their assigned area.

Travel alternates between car and short to medium length walks, so birders will not be outdoors for the entire time. Team leaders choose the lunch spots and bathroom breaks are interspersed throughout the day.

Participants then meet at Mudslingers at the Royal Coachman Pub, starting at sunset. They compare notes and highlights of the day after ordering food and drinks.

Bird watchers will be out again in force Jan. 2 for the annual Christmas Bird Count.

If you prefer to bird from the warmth of your living room or kitchen, you don’t need to preregister. You can simply

check your bird feeders periodically during the count date and record the species and number of each species at dif-

ferent times. You only report the greatest number of each species at one time.

Call or email the count

organizer to provide your results, name, address and contact info. If possible, photograph any rare or unusual species

reported.

Everyone should be “on-the-alert” during the count week which is from Dec. 29 to Jan. 5 for species missed on the count day.

You will be participating in the 117th global Christmas Bird Count, held from Dec. 14 to Jan. 5, throughout North and South America, the Caribbean and Hawaii.

For more information on the Christmas Bird Count visit, birds.audubon.org/christmas-birdcount. To pre-register or for more information, contact: Luisa Richardson at 250-923-9918 or Lu_rich@shaw.ca.

What can I do to keep my Pet safe over the winter and upcoming holidays?

Submitted by Sarah Caton, Tsolum Mobile Veterinary Health Ltd.

Great question!

Let’s discuss the Good, the Bad and the Ugly Christmas Hazards. Ugly. Poinsettias, mistletoe, tinsel, turkey bones, electrical cords, all pose as hazards for your pet. Keep all out of harm’s way.

Especially the mistletoe, if you are

trying to avoid that certain someone.

• Chocolate. Ugly. Well not so much for us, but certainly for our pets. Keep the Purdy’s for you and the purrs and pats for your pets.

• Antifreeze. Ugly. The Deadly Drink. It may taste delicious to your cats or dogs, but is extremely fatal, even the smallest sip can kill.

Cleanup your spills!

• Road Salt. Bad.

Used to melt ice and snow are somewhat harsh on delicate paws.

After a brisk walk in the outdoors, wipe your pet’s paws – or better yet outfit them with a pair of winter boots – if they’ll let you that is.

Warm Engines. Ugly. A few good taps on the hood of a car before starting your engine can awaken a slumbering kitty. Thump! Thump!

Thump! Watch kitty jump!

Frozen Drinks? Bad. Have you ever tried drinking frozen water?

Not appetizing no matter how you look at it. But even more so for our pets who spend most of their time outdoors. Keep a check on your pet’s water bowls.

And now for the Good…

Homemade Dog Friendly Christmas Cookie Recipe • 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour • 1 teaspoon baking powder • 1 cup natural peanut butter • 1 cup water

• 2 tablespoons honey • 1 egg Preheat oven to 350F. In a large bowl combine flour, baking powder, and the egg. Add peanut butter, water, honey and stir until you have stiff dough. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough about 1/2 inch thick and use a cookie cutter to make fun shapes. Bake for 20 minutes, until golden.

Happy holiday's from all of us at Tsolum Mobile Veterinary Health.

More Cold Weather Safety Tips Exposure to winter’s dry, cold air and chilly rain, sleet and snow can cause chapped paws and itchy, flaking skin, but these aren’t the only discomforts pets can suffer. Winter walks can become downright dangerous if chemicals from ice-melting agents are licked off of bare paws.

To help prevent cold weather dangers from affecting your pet’s health, please heed the following

advice from our experts: •

Repeatedly coming out of the cold into the dry heat of your home can cause itchy, flaking skin. Keep your home humidified and towel dry your pet as soon as he comes inside, paying special attention to his feet and in-between the toes. Remove any snow balls from between his foot pads.

•

Never shave your dog down to the skin in winter, as a longer coat will provide more warmth. If your dog is long-haired, simply trim him to minimize the clinging ice balls, salt crystals and de-icing chemicals that can dry his skin, and don’t neglect the hair between his toes. If your dog is short-haired, consider getting him a coat or

Meet My Pet FRODO, the brave little dog.

My dog, Chance, had recently passed away and in my sorrow I posted my photo and story about her on my Facebook page. However, I also told the story of my new wee dog, whose name is Frodo, and how he had been rescued by a lovely couple from a California high kill shelter and how he was given to me to provide him with a loving forever home.

My story was seen by Adrian Raeside who writes the highly popular cartoons, Raeside Cartoons and The Other Coast. Mr. Raeside confirmed to me and on his Facebook page that my story of losing Chance, but saving Frodo, was the inspiration for this cartoon. I was so touched by his insight and kindness.

The photo shows this particular comic strip and Frodo, with my granddaughter, Ariah. ~ Nancy Bryson

•

Bring a towel on long walks to clean off stinging, irritated paws. After each walk, wash and dry your pet’s feet and stomach to remove ice, salt and chemicals—and check for cracks in paw pads or redness between the toes.

•

Bathe your pets as little as possible during cold spells.

Washing too often

Massaging petroleum jelly or other paw protectants into paw pads before going outside can help protect from salt and chemical agents.

Booties provide even more coverage and can also prevent sand and salt from getting lodged between bare toes and causing

refrigerators that hold in the cold and cause animals to freeze to death.

ften in phone books, news papers and history books, women were known only as Mrs. John Smith or the wife of their husbands, but many of them made a name for themselves in their own right and contributed to the founding and the growth of this community.

Inspired by of Women’s History month in October and other such movements to acknowledge the contribution of women, this is the first in a series of articles that remembers and praises the women, alive and passed away, who are and continue to be a part of how Campbell River became the city it is today.

In 1959 Isobel Sandberg was the first woman to be elected a village commissioner in Campbell River. She was re-elected three times after first winning a seat.

“At the time it was quite a break through,” she said in an article by Gloria Turner on Jan. 3, 1980 in the Campbell River Upper Islander.

Sandberg was on the commission when the Water Board was formed to sell water to Willow Point, she also sat on the Centennial Pool and Park committee and was a trustee on the hospital board. She was on council when the town split right down the middle over the construction of the

“It was really exciting then. The town was progressing so fast and we had all the problems on council of the fastest growing community in B.C,” she said in Turner’s article.

32 years after Sandberg was first elected Mary Ashely would be the first female mayor of the city. Ashley was first elected as alderman in 1982. She served two terms and then was re-elected in ’86. She served as alderman until she was elected mayor in 1991.

“It seemed like a natural progression,” she said.

During her campaign she focused on face to face contact and personal connections because “campaigning is very personal in a small community.”

“Sometimes you get what you expect to get,” she said.

She feels women bring a unique perspectives to the table and tend to have an innate direction towards balancing economic and social values.

Ashley was elbow deep in the workings of the community long before she even thought of being on council. After moving to Campbell River in 1970 , when the town was around 7,000 people strong and she has watched it grow.

“Arts and culture has grown a lot,” she said. “Campbell River is pretty well rounded now.”

Ashley got involved with doing arts and crafts at the Salmon Festival. She volunteered with the Hospital Auxiliary . She was a founding member of both the Hospital Foundation and the Community Foundation.

Despite her long lasting and ongoing contributions to the community, Ashley will take none of the credit.

Now we’re cookin’

Phoenix students getting a head start on possible culinary careers… or just have some fun with food MIKE DAVIES CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

I

f you’d walked into the foods room at L’École Phoenix after school hours last Tuesday afternoon, you would have seen about 15 students crying.

They weren’t depressed and they hadn’t just been given life-shattering news or watched a really sad movie. In fact, your eyes would have likely started to react, as well, since they’d been chopping onions in that room for the past 15 or 20 minutes, getting started on the chilli that they were preparing for the school’s upcoming Grade 8 luncheon.

This is the first year for the Junior Chefs Club, as the group is known, and they operate under the guidance of the school’s foods teacher, Tammy Williamson.

Williamson was approached near the end of last year by a young man in her Grade 6 foods class named Diego Christiansen-Barker.

son says. “On the planning days, I don’t pick the recipes, they have to bring recipes each time, and then we vote on them and figure out how we’re going to do them.

Then the next week we break into groups and, well, we do them.”

At the first meeting, they decided they were going to do “food from around the world,” Williamson says, “and that first day we picked a bunch of countries we wanted to try to do and then narrowed it down.

We probably won’t get through them all, but we’re going to do as many as we can.”

The students, thus far, have prepared Italian, English – as in, “traditional food from England” – and Thai food.

them, but they were fun to make and they just looked so good,” he says, turning his attention back to chopping up another carrot for his group’s batch of chilli.

So, how does the school fund all this extra food?

Well, principal Laird Ruehlen gave them some start-up money to get going, but the club has also been helped greatly by a donation

from Cermaq, who gave them $600 for supplies, along with a batch of aprons to use.

They also get periodic donations of vegetables from the students’ parents, and Cermaq is also planning on bringing some salmon and have their resident chef, Rob Spiers, come in to teach the kids some salmon preparation methods.

“I’ve been getting a lot of good knife skills, and I haven’t even cut myself yet,” Russell says, adding that those skills will come in handy, since she’s hoping one day to open her own bakery, “but if that doesn’t happen I want to be a Home Ec teacher.”

hen it comes to receiving gifts, red wine lovers are the easiest to please.

There are so many exceptional choices that its just a matter of having some idea of the intended recipient’s preferences.

Red wine grapes each have their own flavour profiles – Pinot Noir can taste like strawberries, Merlot often tastes like plums, Syrah and Petit Verdot are reminiscent of raspberries or blackberries, Cabernet Sauvignon has blackcurrant flavours. Blended red wines combine different varieties of grapes that each contribute their own distinct flavours.

Our own Vintner’s Quality Alliance approved BC red wines are excellent examples.

du Rhône are renowned for their red blends made from Grenache, Syrah and Carignan.

Sun baked vines produce dark and dusty ripe grapes.

Arnoux & Fils Vieux Clocher Côtes du Rhône (55186) $33.99 is decidedly ruby in color with a beautiful bouquet of red and black berry fruit aromas with pronounced notes of wild blackberries and a peppery finish of dry black liquorice.

Interesting red wines are many and various – even here in British Columbia. Recently some of our own winemakers have been working with the red grape that is synonymous with South Africa – where it was developed as a cross between Pinot Noir and Cinsaut in 1925 by Abraham Izak Perold, the first Professor of Viticulture at Stellenbosch University.

In a class by itself Stoneboat Rock Opera Reserve Pinotage (383836) $25.65 overflows with dusty, dark sweet damson plum and black cherry, clove and cinnamon spice and chocolate flavours framed by lush, smoky, earthy tannins that lead into a long smooth finish.

Beyond their traditional Chiantis, Italy’s Tuscany has become almost as well known for their Super-Tuscans.

In the 1970s, some Tuscan producers decided the legal rules governing the production of Chianti were too restrictive.

They came up with the term ‘Super Tuscan’ to distinguish their wines from inexpensive, lower-quality wines.

A blend of 70 per cent Merlot, 15 per cent Sangiovese and 15 per cent Cabernet Sauvignon Le Volte dell’Ornellaia (431155) $33.99 oozes aromas and flavours of ripe black plums, prunes, blackberries and blackcurrants in a dense and dusky dry style.

let it shine!

Is there any red grape that doesn’t make delicious wines in California?

Zinfandel has become so much of a California specialty that Italian winemakers are renaming their Primitivo to take advantage of the popularity of the California versions.

At the same time well made California Cabernet Sauvignons have become the benchmark for quality wines made from this varietal.

The 2013 vintage of Earthquake Zinfandel (336925) is 100 per cent

Old Vine Zinfandel from Lodi, California and aged in American oak. It is no wimpy Zinfandel at 15.5% alcohol - full-bodied, boasting briary, peppery, meaty and herbal black fruits and some ripe red fruit flavours.

Planted in the most favourable sites in California’s Napa Valley, Cabernet Sauvignon routinely produces deeply coloured red wines that overflow with red and black berry fruit flavours and earthy mint and leathery eucalyptus complexities.

With the generous addition of Merlot and smaller measures of Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec, Freemark Abbey Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (561126) $52.60 showcases raspberry, blackberry and blackcurrant flavours over intriguing layers of mint, fresh cut tobacco and cedar.

The intelligence of trees – Part 2 of 4

A

different scale of time accounts for one of the reasons we have difficulty understanding the intelligence of trees.

We interpret events with reference to our human sense of normal. Comparatively, trees seem to respond slowly, their life cycles sometimes approaching millennia — in the words of the German forester, Peter Wholleben, they “exceed the human attention span.”

They feed on the raw material we call dirt and produce their energy by the perplexing process of photosynthesis. As very different creatures, it’s not surprising we haven’t been able to understand them.

Because trees are “rooted” in one place, they have devised and used their own ways to relate and communicate with their surroundings —ways that happen to be outside the range of our usual perception.

And why should they behave as we do? This expectation is one of our major shortcomings. Children, with their special innocent

“I Can Swim is a dynamic learn to swim program which promotes lifelong aquatic participation.

objective, is averse to using words that have an emotional connotation. The behaviour in one category of living beings, particularly anthropomorphizing, is not to be confused with the behaviour in another.

So our sensitive response to touch, sunlight, heat and water becomes, for trees, the technical terms of thigmotropism, heliotropism, thermotropism and hydrotropism. But a response is a response.

And behind the different words is the implication that trees have some kind of sentience or awareness. This, of course, is the point being made by Wholleben and Simard.

Of significance, Wholleben is not some unrealistic dreamer. He conducted about 25 years of scientific research in Canada’s West Coast rainforests, confirming the claims in his book, The Hidden Life of Trees. And Suzanne Simard, the eminent forest ecologist from UBC, has created her own stir in academic circles.

It’s a Canadian Country Christmas

“I

t’s both kinds of music!

Country and Christmas!” says Canadian Country Christmas founder and performer Sean Hogan, who, as well as being local resident of Campbell River, also wrote the theme song that started the tour and remains a big part part of the night’s performance from province to province come late fall every year.

For over 12 years – yes for 13 years now – this family fun/adult fun; festive seasonal and entertaining concert show has delighted audiences from coast to coast.

This year already the show has played every province from Ontario to B.C. The entire tour has 18 dates across Canada with four shows left on the Island.

It hits Campbell River once

again this Sunday at the Eagles Hall. The show is a fundraiser for the Kinsmen of Campbell River who raise money for kids in our own backyard. In the past, the show has raised proceeds for the Hospice Society and the Tara School of Irish Dance and for several other groups at most stops on the tour. For example, money was rasied for Peace River Hospital District whcih got nearly $12,000 from the show and will be applied to a new high tech mobility chair. Over $3,000 was raised for the Canadian Cancer Society for away from home accommodations in Prince George. Funds have also been raised for local food bank collections along the way and $1,000 was raised for a historic library needing repairs in Seaforth Ontario.

The Campbell River show has Sean Hogan singer/songwriter and country award winning artists Thomas Wade and Jamie Warren on the bill, as well as a young local Campbell River band NonStop Talk, fronted by Colin Massie, that Hogan believes in.

To date now, the tour has raised close to $200,000 and locals that have attended have made it a part of tradition to take it in when they can and rev up to the Christmas season with a good time felt in the hearts made strong by giving back to the community via the concert night out.

Tickets are just $27 and are available at the Tidemark theatre and the Eagles hall.

Celebration of HOPE returns I

3x7 Tidemark

ndividuals recovering from mental illness, families, friends, mental health supporters and community leaders gathered in Campbell River in October to celebrate recovery, promote awareness and reduce stigma around mental health.

They came together for the 9th Annual HOPE (Health, Optimism, Pride, Empowerment) Awards, an event that’s taken an important place in the local community calendar.

“The HOPE Awards are such a great time of year,” said Health Minister Terry Lake.

“There’s no question that the pride, the hard work and the determination of everyone in the room is being celebrated. It is a great accomplishment and a great opportunity to really celebrate what HOPE stands for. We have to be willing to face mental health and or substance use problems without stigma, and embrace those who

have had the courage to work and help themselves, and those people who work with them.”

The first HOPE Awards were held in 2008 after Island Health – Mental Health and Substance Use provided one-time funding to organize a community forum in partnership with the Campbell River Mental Health and Substance Use Advisory Committee, the Campbell River Beacon Club – a supportive place for adults living with mental illness – and the Campbell River and North Island Schizophrenia Society.

The decision was to create an event during Mental Illness Awareness Week that focused on celebrating hope and positive messages around recovery.

Over the last nine years 63 HOPE awards have been presented.

Most recipients have been people recovering from mental health illness and or substance use problems, honoured and recognized for

their commitment to recovery, and how their individual recovery journeys are an inspiration for others.

As well, in the past few years other community members have been nominated for their efforts to increase awareness, reduce stigma and improve local services.

This year, HOPE Awards were presented to six individuals in recognition of their inspiring recovery journeys. In addition, Elaine Bortnick of the schizophrenia society was presented with the second annual Dr. Phil Minnaar HOPE Award for Building a Positive Community.

For the past two years ‘Hailey’, the talk show host puppet from the schizophrenia society’s “Hailey’s Comments” Shaw TV program, was the Master of Ceremonies – along with Laura Appleton-Jones, Coordinator/Director of the Brainstormers Puppet Group.

The HOPE Awards are a celebration of community and teamwork. It really is a group effort with various organizations and people contributing.

The Beacon Club made the punch and centrepieces for the tables.

The Dinner Bell – a program providing training and frozen entrees for individuals recovering from mental illness – catered the tea party.

BCSS and the Advisory Committee help with planning.

Island Health staff help with the set-up, decorating and cleanup as well as helping to make people welcome.

Over the years, in response to feedback and with lots of input, the event has evolved into a familiar format – an afternoon tea party with musical entertainment, a speaker or two, and the award presentations. The slightly tongue-in-cheek theme this year: Where there’s tea there’s HOPE. “It was a true privilege to be part of the HOPE Awards this year,” said Petra Ballantyne, Manager of Island Health Mental Health and Substance Use services for Campbell River and the Comox Valley. “The mutual respect and support from all who attended was inspiring.

The award recipients and participants shared their journeys and experiences with sincerity and courage. Thank you to the organizers, supporters, and participants who make the awards a memorable experience.”

Women find strength through community and workouts at Curves JOCELYN DOLL

W

hen Leslie Hanes’ husband passed away 15 years ago, the ladies at Curves sent her flowers.

“I got more support there…what gym sends you flowers? That’s the kind of community that I found,” she said.

Soon after that the club came up for sale, and she bought it, despite already running Discovery Trekking from her home.

“It was kind of crazy,” she said.

Originally, the club was located in Willow Point, but when the old plaza got torn down and replaced Hanes had to move.

She bought her current building, at 919 Ironwood Road, and renovated it to house Curves, Jenny Craig and Discovery Trekking.

Curves is a women’s only gym. The 30 minute workout circuit features alternating upper and lower body exercises and is the same at Curves locations all over the world. The machines use hydraulic resistance, so there is no adding or removing weights for a harder or

“The whole circuit gives you a complete

Each machine is

also outfitted with a computer of sorts. The system is called Curves Smart, each member has a key tag that they

The exam, written in September 2016, was administered by the Chartered Professional

Accountants Western School of Business.

“We welcome them to the ranks of B.C.’s chartered professional accountants,” said Dave Hallinan, chair of Chartered Professional Accountants of B.C.

In order to become designated, students must complete rigorous course work, pass the exam, and fulfill relevant practical experience requirements.

The national exam ensures all Canadian chartered professional

accountants meet the same high standards, which are recognized nationally and internationally. The school delivers chartered accountants professional education program to western Canada.

ticipants aren’t pushing as hard as you should be, and it raises goals as they are met, like having a personal coach on each machine with you.

The Campbell River location is unique to the Curves franchise.

Hanes said that because the focus is around the 30-minute, quick in, quick out, workout, that other facilities often don’t have change rooms and showers, but all of those services are available in Campbell River.

Hanes insists that the Curves workout isn’t just for retired women.

If calorie burning is what you are after, Hanes said that you can burn up to 500 calories doing a single half hour workout. There is a coach on the circuit at all times to assist, encourage and celebrate as each member completes their workout.

And if you don’t show up, the staff at Curves will call you to see what’s going on and encourage you to come back.

“We found that people quit very easily, they give up if they don’t

have a goal,” Hanes said. “So we have to be invested in that goal with them and take responsibility for their success.”

With the success of her members in mind, Hanes has kept the doors of her club open even when it wasn’t financially viable.

Though it is now, she said she continues to make tough business decisions, whether it be cutting hours or whatever, so that the business remains sustainable.

And so far it is working out.

“I just love it,” she said.

Hanes isn’t only looking after her members, she is also supporting local businesses in the community.

Once a week she has a home business set up a table, for free, on location. She has a bulletin board advertising for small businesses in the community, as well as a table of their business cards.

“We try to just build relationships with other businesses to help each other grown and keep business in Campbell River,” she said.

Board refuses to reschedule meeting KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A Strathcona Regional District director couldn’t hide his disappointment with his fellow directors after they refused to accommodate his request to reschedule a board meeting.

Directors were set to approve next year’s meeting schedule when Area C Director Jim Abram noticed a conflict.

Abram asked directors if they would consider changing a board meeting slated for Feb. 23 to one week prior – the week of Feb. 13 – so that Abram could attend a

Union of British Columbia (UBCM) executive meeting in Victoria.

“Being on the UBCM executive, I feel, is a privilege and it’s also a help to this board,” Abram said. “So I have asked for some leeway a couple of time.”

Abram asked the board to accommodate him last year for a similiar scenario. The answer last year was no.

It was the same refrain this year.

Campbell River Director Larry Samson said he was opposed to making any changes to the meeting schedule that regional district staff

put so much work into, trying to accommodate each director and all of their appointments to outside boards and organizations, as well as municipal directors’ council meetings.

“We all as directors have other duties,” Samson said. “Staff has said this is as good as it gets.

We all have alternates, we all have other choices.

We have to prioritize.”

Are a D Dire c tor Brenda Leigh echoed that.

“In years past…the chair would issue the schedule and that would be it,” Leigh said.

“And if you can’t make

it, well that’s just too bad and there was no operational interference from the board about changing the dates or anything like that. The chair should issue the schedule for the year and that should be the schedule and you work around the schedule.”

That disappointed Abram.

“In my 13 years on UBCM, I have heard numerous other districts stand up and congratulate and applaud their local governments for supporting their attendance at UBCM and the work they do at UBCM on behalf of them pro-

vincially,” Abram said.

“And I can’t say that.”

Board Chair John MacDonald challenged that.

“With all due respect, we all do support you and we all congratulate you for the work you do,” MacDonald said.

“Well, I’m asking you to do one simple thing,” Abram countered.

In the end, the Feb. 23 meeting stayed as is.

Board meetings in 2017 will follow roughly the same pattern as in past years, with the first meeting of the month taking place on a Wednesday afternoon and the second on a Thursday.

Secret ballot decides SRD appointment KRISTEN DOUGLAS

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A secret ballot was forced to decide an external appointment for one Strathcona Regional District director after the board rejected the chair’s recommendation.

At last week’s Thursday meeting, directors had to choose between Area C Director Jim Abram and Campbell River Director Larry Samson. Abram was Chair John MacDonald’s recommended appointee to the Marine Plan Partnership (MaPP) for 2017 but Campbell River Director Charlie Cornfield instead nominated Samson.

Cornfield said it made sense for Samson to take part in MaPP, a partnership between 17 First Nations and the provincial government that has developed plans for marine uses on the coast. Samson is already on a committee that is working to get the North Island accredited as a Whale Heritage site and Cornfield thought as such, the MaPP appointment would be fitting.

He did, however, ask if the regional district could have two representatives on MaPP so that Abram could retain his spot.

But Abram told Cornfield that the MaPP format calls for “one director” and fought to keep his place on MaPP. “They have requested that I come back for continuity because it would be virtually impossible for anyone to pick up the information that had been developed over the past four or five years,”

Abram said. “If anybody has heard anything contrary to the fact that I get along well and work well with the others, it is completely false.I’ve been doing my job for local government, I’ve been there since the beginning, I’ve contributed considerably, done a

huge amount of work for our local government,” Abram added. Cornfield, though said his nomination “wasn’t in response to any performance issues from the director” but rather for a different perspective. After the dust settled, and ballots were cast, it was Sam-

son who came out on the winning end. Abram was appointed as the alternate. Samson said he believes he can serve the regional district well.

“I feel I can add fresh eyes to it.” The board, did, however, approve a motion to ask MaPP if the regional district can

have two representatives.

If that proves to be possible, Abram will be the second.

• Living Wills, Advanced Healthcare Directives, and Powers of Attorney for Personal Care provide directions for your care in the event of catastrophic illness or disability.

• An Executor (sometimes called a Personal Representative or liquidator in Québec) is the person or persons named in your Will to settle your estate according to your documented wishes.

As Prince’s legitimate heirs unfortunately discovered, estate planning now avoids difficulties and costs later. To do it properly, you’ll need a lawyer and perhaps an accountant, along with your professional advisor who can harmonize your estate plan with your overall financial plan and keep everybody in tune with your wishes for your legacy.

SPCA shares their ‘Wish List’

The Campbell River expressed warm holiday wishes to all of their supporters who every day show their kindness to the animals they help and speak for when they are unable to speak for themselves.

As the holidays approach, the SPCAS is often asked how how people can help the animals and the shelter, so they posted a Wish List on Facebook.

“We greatly appreciate your generosity all through the year, and could not be here without you,” the Facebook post says.

The Campbell River SPCA is open Tuesday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. for donation drop off. They are looking especially for the following: Wood stove pellets (used for litter) Cash donations (used for operational costs such as medical bills, staffing, etc.)

Liquid laundry soap for front-loading machines Paper towel Hand soap Dishwasher soap Window cleaner Lavender Pine-Sol Blankets/towels Canned cat and dog food (preferable Science Diet) Cat toys/dog toys (Kongs) Volunteers for fundraising committee

Angels with quilted wings

This past year the Campbell River Quilters’ Guild was able to send a number of quilts to Ft. McMurray for distribution to the fire victims. The Guild is made up of about 70 members, many of whom are very active. If you are interested in learning more about the Guild and what they do, check out their website at Crfriendshipquiltguild.com or email them at crfriendshipguild@ gmail.com

Campbell River receives grant-in-lieu of property taxes The B.C. government has distributed $75,497 in compensation for municipal property taxes to the City of Campbell River.

Altogether, the Province has distributed nearly $16 million in compensation for municipal property taxes to 56 communities around B.C. “By providing grantsin-lieu of property taxes, the province is compensating municipalities for important services such as sewers, roads and

fire protection that have benefited government properties. Ensuring we pay our fair share to support communities in a timely manner is a priority for our government,” said Amrik Virk, Minister of Technology, Innovation and Citizens’ Services.

Grants-in-lieu of property taxes are distributed every November and reimburse municipalities for services that benefited government properties, such as municipally run

sewers, roads and fire protection.

Grants are issued in accordance with the Municipal Aid Act and are payable on land owned by the provincial government such as courthouses, provincial government office buildings and warehouses.

Schools and hospitals are exempt from paying municipal property taxes and are not part of the grants-in-lieu calculation. Other provincial assets, such as highways, forests, parks or land

under the control, management or administration of a Crown corporation are also excluded from compensation under the act.

Since 2002, the Government of British Columbia has distributed more than $254 million in grants-in-lieu to B.C. communities. A portion of the funds is paid by each community to its regional district, and both levels of local government use grants to help pay for local services.

Team effort involved to put on Carihi turkey dinner BRADEN MAJIC CARIHI MIRROR

The holiday season is a time to celebrate traditions, and at Carihi, the annual Turkey Dinner and Show held on December 14 is something that brings all Tyees together.

“It’s almost as if the stress of the holidays [and] the stress of school just kind of goes away,” says leadership advisor Kerri Perras. “Everybody gets to be a little kid again and just [have] the weight of the world off their shoulders.”

The heart of the preparation comes from Carihi’s cafeteria and baking classes and both sports and student leadership.

Chef Jessica Mann’s cafeteria and baking classes create the meal and the desserts for the annual dinner. “[The turkey dinner] is something we gear up for and the students [get] excited about,” Mann says.

Chef Mann’s 42 students cook 30 turkeys and hundreds of pounds of potatoes, carrots, onions and celery as well as 40 loaves of bread

to feed more than 650 people.

A healthy helping of turkey with fixings of mashed potatoes, stuffing, peas and carrots with cranberry sauce and gravy go on the plate.

For anyone who does not eat meat, there is the option of a roasted root vegetable medley plate.

Next, dessert consists of three different and delectable cookies and both pumpkin and apple pie.

“There is so many people that participate [to put] it on,” says Mann.

“It’s a great opportu-

Drum making workshop brings aboriginal culture to life at Carihi JASMINE MACGREGOR CARIHI MIRROR

Aboriginal culture was celebrated at Carihi as students from the Kwak’wala Language class and Aboriginal Support block had the opportunity to participate in a traditional drum making workshop.

The school received money from SD72 to host the workshop that was lead by Phil Mills and Mavis Aubichon, who not only helped the students build the drums, but provided teachings around the drums as well.

“Phil and Mavis visited us twice over the past few

Clinton Macadam

I am new to the Carihi Mirror team this year as a Grade 11 student. In the past, I started to explore my passion for journalism through participation in some writing contests. In addition, following social, political, and economic issues has always been of interest to me. Raised in Campbell River, I enjoy spending time in the local outdoors and being an active member of the community. This combination of interests has led me to pursue this wonderful opportunity in journalism. I look forward to meeting new people, hearing new perspectives, and other opportunities that this journey will bring. I am excited to fulfill this fantastic opportunity of writing for the Carihi Mirror!

emony’ of the drums.”

Mills and Aubichon focused on teaching the significance of the drum not only as a tool for music, but the spirituality behind it as well.

“The students were taught that every time the drum beats it’s like the beating of the animal’s heart,” said Pisterzi.

“Every drum sounds different and is unique, much like how every animal and human is different and unique. It is also a powerful tool that can be used as an alternative way to provide healing and medicine for people.”

I have been writing for many years now.

My most memorable writing adventure was back in Grade 8 when two friends of mine and myself started the first ever newspaper at Phoenix. We produced nine editions overall with each edition getting more readers than the last. During that time, I conducted several interviews as well as wrote many articles. Writing for that newspaper really helped bring out my inner journalist. Now, I am thrilled to be part of the Carihi Mirror and I will take full advantage of this wonderful experience to help me grow as a young journalist.

ful preparation of the turkey dinner.

“Personally, [I want] to be a chef, so I am very interested in [the turkey dinner] ...it is a very good experience for everyone involved,” she says.

On the other side of things, Carihi leadership has worked hard to find students to perform, set up the gym, create decorations, serve food and clean up after the event.

Although the dinner and show only lasts for a couple of hours, the leadership team feels that the weeks of preparation are

worth it.

The atmosphere at the dinner is very festive and people are seen laughing, smiling and conversing.

Positive feedback also pays off the hard work and reaffirms the pride in everyone involved.

“People are always impressed and just amazed at how well [the dinner] went,” says Mann.

After the 650 students and staff are fed the leftovers are donated to the Salvation Army Lighthouse Centre which serves lunch every day to the homeless.

Carihi ready to dive into new basketball season CLINTON MACADAM CARIHI MIRROR

Junior players are in grades nine and 10, while senior players are in grades 11 and 12.

Of these, the senior boys are the favourites to be successful .

This year’s teams are predominantly young and high-energy.

The nature of the young team also means that they have many things to improve.

Coach Ray Wilson said that “the season is starting off reasonably well.

“Being early in the season they have things to work on, but they are having a good start”.

The 2016-17 basketball season is off to a strong start at Carihi.

They practice regularly, honing in on their skills and striving to achieve their maximum potential.

Hopes are that this practice and dedication will lead them to major competitions as the season progresses.

Like most school sports, there are four subdivisions based on age and gender.

These divisions include junior girls, senior girls, junior boys, and senior boys. Continued on Pg. 61

My adventures in journalism began last year when I first started writing for the Carihi Mirror as a Grade 11 student. The moment I saw my first article in print, I knew I was hooked. As I begin my Grade 12 year, I marvel at all the opportunities “real life” will bring, the places I’ll see, the people I’ll encounter and all the stories they will tell. I find joy in the performing arts, the French language, the great outdoors and of course, putting pen to paper or as they should say in the 21st century, putting keys to computer screen. I look forward to another fantastic year writing for the Carihi Mirror!

Drums: Available Basketball: Carihi for all students to use back on the court

From Pg. 57

They fabricated 27 elk hide drums that were 14 inches across from hides and drum rings prepared with the help of Mills’ craftsmanship.

The students built drumsticks as well. Fifteen of the drums will be gifted to Carihi and 12 will be gifted to Ecole Phoenix Middle School through Ms. Keisha Everson’s Kwak’wala class.

“They’re very important because the two schools, Phoenix and Carihi, do not have drums,” said Pisterzi.

“And the purpose of these drums is to be able to start drumming groups, ceremonies and to bring more First Nations culture to

the schools through the drums.”

Pisterzi explained that Mills and Aubichon want the drums to be accessible to everyone, aboriginal and non-aboriginal students and staff alike, who is interested in learning.

“Phil and Mavis went above and beyond in helping us,” said Pisterzi, “I really admire Phil for his craftsmanship, he really did go the extra mile to make sure every drum was tightened properly and the hair was taken off.

“He was very professional and I really appreciate his teachings about his culture, and Mavis, for her teachings around the birthing ceremony of the drum.”

From Pg. 57

For the players, they will be continuously striving to reach their goals throughout the season.

Some of these goals involve individual success and improving as an athlete.

This will come from hard work at practices and the process of learning from games and other basketball experiences.

For s ome, going beyond high school basketball and playing at the post-secondary level is also a possibility.

As basketball is a team sport, many of their goals are team-oriented.

In general, the goal is to qualify for major

“I think these goals are definitely achievable.”

Wilson also mentioned that the players were motivated to reach these competitions.

“If you asked one of them, I think they’d say Provincials is the goal,” he said.

Reaching provincials would be a major accomplishment for any

It would follow in the footsteps of the Carihi Senior Boys soccer team who made it to the provincial tournament earlier this year.

That’s the message a group of local philanthropists want to spread this holiday season.

Radiant Life Church, with the help of Campbell River Baptist Church, the Salvation Army, Save-On-Foods and a host of volunteers, is hosting the 16th annual Christmas Dinner With Friends.

The dinner takes place on Christmas Day, Dec. 25, at the Community Centre from 1 to 3 p.m.

Doors open at noon.

Brenda Beaton, volunteer co-ordinator for the dinner, said the gathering is for everyone.

“Anybody who’s going to be alone for Christmas and doesn’t want to be alone,” is welcome, Beaton says.

Radiant Life Pastor Art Van Holst says the dinner “is not just for the homeless” and that there will be gifts for

Bruce Brown, Campbell River’s Save-OnFoods store manager, said the dinner is a way for the store to be “active in the community.

“We’ve had a long 16-year partnership,” Brown says. “It’s a good thing.”

Beaton agrees and says the staff ’s support is invaluable.

“It doesn’t go without Save-On’s partnership,” Beaton says.

It also doesn’t happen without the generous support of the 60 to 80 volunteers who on average turn out each

year to help serve and assemble the meal.

“We’ve always had a fantastic turn out for volunteers,” says Beaton who encourages anyone who would like to help out at the dinner to register early because volunteer spots fill up quickly. “We even get some people from out of town who are here visiting helping. It’s a good way to help the community.”
