Plaza clock tower to find a new home in Campbellton KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A long-time Campbell River landmark is getting a new home after city council went against a city staff recommendation.

The Tyee Plaza clock tower, a former fixture in the downtown core, will be relocated to Campbellton even though it is taller than what is permitted in the area.

Council approved a variance that will allow the clock tower, which was removed from Tyee Plaza last August, to be put up on Spruce Street near 14th Avenue.

Local businessman Ted Arbour intends to clean up the tower, remove the Tyee Plaza lettering and replace it with the name of his storage business, Econo Ezy Box. He said other than that, the clock tower (pictured right being removed last summer) will remain as is and will still bear the time and the temperature.

Arbour said the tower, expected to be erected at 1231 Spruce St., is an iconic Campbell River structure and will help liven up the Campbellton neighbourhood.

“This clock was a landmark in the Tyee

Plaza for over 40 years and deserves to be rejuvenated so that the residents of Campbell River can continue to enjoy seeing it,” Arbour said.

“This will be erected at the corner of the lower portion of this property and will enhance the local area without

negatively affecting any property owners in the immediate vicinity.”

T he C ampb el lton Neighbourhood Association said it supports Arbour, adding the clock tower will revitalize the area and help customers find the business in an attractive manner.

“A clock tower will create another focal point that is pleasing to the eye. Structures like this will continue to encourage more homes and businesses to enrich their own outdoor spaces. Everyone wins,” wrote Brian Shaw, chair of the Campbellton Neighbourhood Association, in a letter to council. “Eventually it will be used as a visual reference point (and) it keeps a long-time familiar icon in use in Campbellton.”

Arbour also hosted a public meeting in October and received support from neighbours in the immediate vicinity.

Despite that, at Monday’s city council meeting, city staff ’s recommendation to council was to deny Arbour’s application to erect the clock tower at its existing height. Their rationale was that the tower, at 14.3 metres (47 feet), is double the height of what’s allowed on the subject property, which is 7.5 m (26.4 ft).

Matthew Fitzgerald, the city’s planner, said there’s no justifiable reason for the sign to be so tall, even though he agreed that it will have minimal impact on the surrounding neighbourhood and will not block

the view of homeowners along the bluff on Tree Lane Road above the Econo Ezy Box site.

“Despite this, there is no clear rationale for why the sign needs to be nearly twice the height the bylaw permits,” Fitzgerald wrote in a report to council.

“The sign has been disassembled and there is the opportunity when it is rebuilt to adjust the height to conform to the bylaw.”

Council, though, sided with Arbour and granted the variance which will allow him to put up the tower at its existing height.

College: Money coming from ‘magic pre-election pot’

From Pg. 1

what I got from it is that, yes, we’ve got the money for the facilities but not for the programming.”

Trevena says she is constantly let down by the government when she asks about NIC’s operational funding, and this announcement doesn’t really alleviate that disappointment.

“Every year we get to our budget and I ask the minister of advanced education about investment in North Island College, because we are one of the lowest funded colleges in the province per student,” Trevena continues. “We get really low funding. And I didn’t see any reference at all to that. The fact is that, while it’s great to have the facility, unless you have the money to put on the courses being held there, it’s not going to be great for the students.

You can have the most wonderful facilities that there are, but you need the money for programming and it needs to be

ongoing money for programming. Everyone is aware that trades training is extremely expensive and you really need to have a serious investment, which is something I just don’t see this government doing.”

Trevena also isn’t surprised that all of this money is suddenly being made available to fund major projects.

On Jan. 20, the government announced a similar funding partnership

that sees them putting $16.5 million towards a $39.9-million Health and Science Centre at Vancouver Island University.

The day before, they announced a $5.73 million contribution towards the creation of a $21.5-million Centre for Environmental Science and International Partnerships at Royal Roads University. They have also committed $31 million of the $48.5 million

needed for a new health sciences centre at Camosun.

“It’s coming from the magic pre-election pot, I think,” she says. “We have an election coming, and so there’s a great amount of largesse. Basically, you’ve got two things happening here. You’ve got the province wanting to look as though they care – but again, I can’t see how they can justify that they care if they’re not putting money into

Tribal Journeys Talking Stick presented to city council KRISTEN DOUGLAS

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The Talking Stick – a symbol of the “massive” Tribal Journeys cultural event – was passed to the City of Campbell River Monday night as anticipation for the event builds.

The official Tribal Journeys Talking Stick was presented to the two 2017 event hosts – the We Wai Kai and We Wai Kum First Nations – at the close of last year’s Tribal Journeys in Nisqually to acknowledge the future hosts.

At Monday night’s council meeting, Rod Naknakim, president of the Nuyumbalees Cultural Society which is coordinating the event, presented the Talk-

ing Stick to the City of Campbell River while his son, Brody Naknakim, performed a traditional song and blessing.

Naknakim said he was pleased to “pass the Talking Stick on to the city for two months as part of the Tribal Journeys undertaking to host the peoples that are coming.”

The Talking Stick will spend the entire year in our region, visiting both the We Wai Kum and We Wai Kai offices, as well as the Nuyumbalees Cultural Centre on Quadra Island and the Strathcona Regional District’s corporate office.

Naknakim has previously said Tribal Journeys is a “massive undertaking” that will bring more than 5,000 people to the communities of

Cape Mudge on Quadra Island and Campbell River.

Tribal Journeys is a 25-year annual tradition that promotes cross cultural and intercultural exchange among First Nations families who travel to the host community by boat.

Roughly 100 canoes are expected to pull into Cape Mudge on Quadra Island on Aug. 5 and then Campbell River on Aug. 7.

Paddlers will be welcomed with a traditional ceremony, a gift exchange and a public feast on both sides of the water.

Mayor Andy Adams said the city is looking forward to helping host the event.

“The City of Camp-

Adams said, adding that the Talking Stick will be “prominently on display” in the foyer of City Hall in celebration of Tribal Journeys.

“Tribal Journeys will be a tremendous experience for all of us here in Campbell River and we look forward to working in partnership with the

City invited to participate in special Communities in Bloom competition KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

We Wai Kai and We Wai Kum to make it the best success it can be.”

Tribal Journeys will celebrate the histories and culture of various First Nation families from around the world who will be coming to our region.

The event has been ongoing since 1986 when the Glwa canoe family paddled 500 kilometres from Bella Bella to Expo ’86.

Tribal Journeys was officially born in 1989 when the Glwa family invited all canoe families to their territory.

The event is an economic boon to the host each year. Last year in Nisqually, 102 canoes took part, attracting 8,000 spectators to the Port of Olympia.

The City of Campbell River has been invited to rejoin Communities in Bloom and participate in a special edition of the beautification program.

As a past national winner, Campbell River is one of select communities across the country that has earned the right to participate in a new category celebrating Canada’s birthday.

Bob Lewis, national chair of Communities in Bloom, wrote in a letter to city council that the Canada 150 category is a “one-time special noncompetitive edition to provide communities with the opportunity to showcase achievements in greening your community (and) celebrate Canada’s 150th anniversary.”

At Monday’s council meeting, council chose to refer the invitation to the city’s parks and

recreation staff as well as the city’s Community Services, Recreation and Culture Commission to see if there’s any interest in participating in the program again.

Coun. Charlie Cornfield reminded council that the city has had success before, including winning the national competition in 2011 in its population category.

But, Cornfield said he wants to gauge the level of interest in returning to the program before council commits to anything.

“It does take a lot of volunteer effort and a lot of commitment, so without that dedication to the commitment by our volunteers and from our staff, as well, it won’t work,” Cornfield said. “But I think before we say ‘no’ we should at least refer it to our commission and staff and get their take on it.”

Fixing up the foreshore at Ostler Park JOCELYN DOLL CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The City of Campbell River has employed contractors to repair the rip rap at Robert Ostler Park. “ E x t e n s i v e w av e action from storms has undermined the existing rip rap and it has slumped down,” said Ross Milnthorp, the city’s general manager of parks, recreation and culture.

Because the time of year is outside the annual fisheries window, no equipment or debris can be put in the water so all the work is being done from above.

During the restoration, the walkway will be closed in the area.

“Underneath the rip rap is another structure, we are going to reconstruct that with smaller

rock and geo-textile fabric to keep the very fine material from being affected by the waves and then we are going to replace the existing rip rap and we will probably add another 1,500 tons or so,” Milnthorp The City of Campbell River will be repairing the said.

A common thread already emerging from the surveys being conducted by volunteers for the Office of the Seniors Advocate is how thrilled the residents are that someone took a significant amount of time to sit down and listen to them.

Volunteers needed to survey local residents living in care JOCELYN DOLL CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The Office of the Seniors Advocate wants to know what life is like living in care homes across the province from the people who are living there, and they need more volunteers to get the job done.

“In every community we are relying on volunteers who are going in and interviewing residents – they are not always seniors – about their experience in care and listening to them and hearing what they have to say about what their life is like in care,” said Tina Biello, regional engagement lead for the Island.

So far, the volunteers in Campbell River have interviewed the residents at one site, but there are still two more sites that need to be done.

Biello estimates she will need 10-20 more volunteers.

Vo l u n t e e r s a r e required to commit to 30 hours of interviewing as well as a training day.

“We ask for a minimum commitment of 30 hours, just because there is so much to do before they get to a site,” Biello said. “We want to make sure it is worth their while.”

So far the program has seen all sorts of volunteers, but Biello said that the majority are retired health care workers.

“I’m finding a lot of people are interested in what life is like for seniors in care,” she said.

Whether it be because they have had an experience with a family member or they are worried that this could be them in 10-20 years.

“And also just people who are interested in sitting and talking and

listening to seniors, because it is a lot of talking and asking them questions and all that kind of thing,” she added.

Those who want to volunteer are interviewed and if they are deemed suitable are required to submit a criminal record check, get a flu shot and participate in the training day.

Biello said the training day is very thorough and the volunteers learn everything they could possibly need to know about privacy and confidentiality as well as how to go about conducting the interviews and approaching the residents.

They will be asking residents a range of questions from the quality of food, to how they view care staff, as well as questions related to privacy, comfort and access to activities, with the goal of gauging resident satisfaction and providing a roadmap for improvements to quality of care.

In total, 27,00 residents living in 303 facili-

ties will be interviewed.

Feedback from seniors has been diverse, however, a common emerging theme is the impact of having their voices heard.

“A resident came to me and explained to me how a person had come to her and asked her questions for a long time,” said Norma Sorensen, manager at a care home in Victoria, in a press release. “The resident recounted how they just sat together and the person listened to her and she was just thrilled. As a manager I felt sad that being listened to was such a novelty for the resident.”

The survey itself was designed by a consultative process involving care facilities, health authorities, family members, union representatives, community groups and academic experts from across the country.

At the end of the project, the results of the survey will be used to improve the quality of care and services provided to residents and their families.

Opening the taps on liquor regulations

More updates to the provincial Liquor Control and Licencing Act came into effect this week.

The government says these changes will “create new opportunities for businesses, increase convenience for consumers and enhance the province’s commitment to social responsibility.”

These updates are surely welcome, as many of the rules on the books were clearly ridiculous and antiquated.

Like the inability for a patron at a hotel bar or restaurant to carry their drink to their room, for example.

Or the concept that people should be herded into a fencedin pen to consume alcohol at an outdoor concert or festival because only a certain area of the grounds are licensed, which not only adds stigma to the consumption of alcohol but also encourages binging because people know they can’t drink once they are back outside the fence, so they’d better get as much in them as they can while they’re penned up. It was nonsense and should never have been in place for this long.

Also, I clearly remem-

For most of the 20th Century, the fate of B.C.’s economy was tied to resources, and their prices on the national and international markets.

If salmon and lumber and minerals brought good prices, then B.C. prospered.

If they didn’t, this province suffered.

Though primary resources are still important, they play a smaller and smaller role in the tale of B.C. employment.

Instead, we have three new pillars that hold up much of our economy: health care, retail, and We say: Boom construction. times all must Those are the three biggest employment seccome to an end tors in B.C., with more eventually than 365,000 people employed in retail and wholesale trade in December, 292,000 in health care, and 215,000 in construction.

By comparison, fishing, mining, forestry, and oil and gas, lumped together, have seen employment closer to 50,000 people, province-wide.

Health care is likely to grow, but the big worry is what will happen to construction when – or more likely if – the housing market flattens out or crashes completely.

The B.C. Liberals, prepping for their spring election, have been touting the amazing record of provincial job growth. Unemployment is low, it’s true.

But just as when B.C. relied on primary industries, we now rely very heavily on housing and retail to power our jobs boom.

Both the Liberals and the NDP are making noises about increasing investments in clean energy and the high tech economy.

We do have a chance to shift to an even more skilled economic base, one that exports goods and services, rather than simply building ever more condos and houses.

Loggers and miners all knew that boom times end.

We have to prepare for the end of the housing resource boom.

can?

After all, liquor sales are a huge revenue generator for business and would therefore mean an equally large financial windfall for the government.

If not, how will they figure out what kind of businesses will get licences?

And if they approve a liquor licence for a hair salon, for example, won’t they then also have to grant one to every other hair salon that applies?

If they are going to be selective in issuing licences, how long will it be until people start to complain that they can’t be competitive if they aren’t legally allowed to offer the same services as the shop up the street?

I guess what I’m saying is that while there are certainly some good, common-sense changes coming to the legislation, I don’t know how I feel about some of them just yet.

While I enjoy a drink as much as the next person, I don’t think I need one while I’m getting a haircut or browsing the shelves at Coho Books for a summer novel – and I worry what opening the taps on liquor service to anyone who wants a licence could mean.

BCHL eyes Campbell River GREG SAKAKI BLACK PRESS

The future of the Nanaimo Clippers junior A hockey club is contingent on the outcome of an upcoming referendum on a sports and events centre on the Harbour City’s waterfront.

But that future could include Campbell River.

Our city’s name is being bandied about as a possible location for Nanaimo’s BCHL franchise which may be on the move if Nanaimo is able to attract a major junior franchise.

At the B.C. Hockey League’s governors’ meeting last week, the Clippers filled in other teams about their situa-

tion.

“We just made the league aware that there’s potential for a new event centre and that the rumour is that if the event centre comes in, that a WHL team will closely follow, if not immediately,” said David LeNeveu, Clippers president. “Now, we’re not party to any of those discussions, so we can’t say one way or the other.

We’re just making the [BCHL] aware that this could be what was happening and to prepare, in case that did happen.”

He said the idea of major junior and junior A hockey trying to coexist in Nanaimo would be a detriment to the success of both clubs.

“Could we do it? Yeah.

Will we do it? I don’t know. We’ve got to keep every option available on the table, but it’s definitely not the most likely case scenario,” LeNeveu said.

Another possibility is moving the team. BCHL commissioner John Grisdale said Campbell River is a location that would have to be considered.

“There has to be an agreement both ways for the ownership in Nanaimo to relocate there and the league to approve it … and we can’t do anything there that’s not fair to the junior B group (Campbell River Storm),” Grisdale said.

He said the BCHL’s

franchise committee has not had any discussions about relocating the Clippers and said there’s nothing the league can do on that front until Nanaimo’s referendum.

Nothing has been confirmed yet as far as a major junior hockey team being relocated to the Harbour City, though the Nanaimo Event Centre Phase 1 report noted that it was conducted with the understanding “that there may be an opportunity to attract a Western Hockey League Team to Nanaimo and that these opportunities do not happen often.”

The Kootenay Ice, based in Cranbrook, is the team that could be on the move.

The Parliamentary Session was adjourned until Jan. 30, and MP Rachel Blaney will be taking the concerns of the riding back with her.

In her most recent poll of the riding, she said the most common issues brought forward had to do with seniors, health care and housing.

Housing In early December Blaney tabled a private members bill that would add the right to housing to the Canadian Bill of Rights.

“We know, based on watching this that proper housing is a basic human right. And when housing needs are met it really does provide some general prosperousness and a stronger community,” she said.

Blaney believes that adopting this bill would increase the ability of claimants to identify how high housing rates apply to them, open the avenues to access and increase landlord accountability.

She quoted an example from Powell River, where there isn’t any emergency housing.

“So if people want to go stay somewhere they’re actually being put on the ferry to come over to Comox and find hous-

ing for the night there, which really isn’t a very good solution,” she said.

Electoral reform Last week’s change in cabinet ministers has Blaney hopeful that progress will be made on electoral reform.

She said that the last minister in charge of the project “really rejected” the 300 page report that the committee presented.

“I am hopeful that a new minister being elected will show a more respectful tone,” she said.

She is also concerned that the survey that was put forward was not really looking at the issues that citizens are bringing forward.

“I find it very interesting that, in the questionnaire to people they ask a couple of questions around online voting, and if you actually read the report you will see from the witnesses that any kind of online voting is of high concern, its just not secure enough for a national election,” she said.

With only four months left before Election Canada’s deadline, Blaney is hoping to see action and positive outcomes with this change in leadership.

She doesn’t know what the system will look like, but based on feedback she knows it has to be something more proportional.

Healthcare Blaney, and the NDPs remain very concerned about healthcare across the country.

“The cuts that Harper promised for the transfers to the provinces and territories look like they are going to happen regardless of the Liberal government coming in,” she said. “That’s unfortunate because during the campaign they were very clear that they would not make those health care transfers less.”

In particular she has heard from her remote constituents that accessing health care professionals is a huge burden.

“There is a lot of frustration with accessibility to services and how often people have to travel and little reimbursement there is included in that,” she said.

Along with health care cuts Blaney expressed disappointment that there was no increase to home care, in the 2016 budget, as was promised.

She is hoping that the Liberal’s will not go ahead with the Conservative’s cuts and that she will see some good faith in their negotiations with the provinces so that there will be strong health care in the future.

brought up over and over again in parliament.

“People want to look at opportunities they want to build their business they want to increase their business, they want to have more of an attraction strategy and because of the weakness of the internet capacity it has become a big challenge,” she said.

She sees those issues only increasing if something isn’t done so she is putting pressure on service providers to expand their services as well as the government to follow through on their promise to make sure everybody has accessibility to broadband.

Fentanyl crisis So many people have been dying because of fentanyl and Blaney and the NDP have been pushing for the government to announce a public health emergency, which would release 90 days of federal funding.

“We want to see the federal government actually call it a public health emergency so that those resources can be released and we can actually start dealing with it in a more meaningful way,” she said.

Blaney wants to see those resources go frontline workers who are out there working “outrageous hours” trying to address the problem.

Internet access Blaney said access for all to the internet is another issue that is

Next week contractors for the John Hart project will begin placing rock in a section of the Campbell River immediately upstream of the John Hart generating station.

The rock will create a temporary work pad on the right bank of the river that will allow for the preparations to remove the ‘rock plug’ left in place between the river and the tunnel outlet from the new underground powerhouse “On one side of the rock plug is the newly completed water outlet works that’s been excavated about 20 metres downward, and on the other side is the Campbell River,” said BC Hydro’s Stephen Watson. “That plug keeps the water out of the construction area.”

InPower BC, the project contractor, will be using clean rock from the on-site blasting work. The rock will be placed in the river by

excavator, and may take a few weeks to complete.

Watson said extensive planning and environmental considerations went into the work, including approvals with Fisheries and Oceans Canada. Environmental monitors will also be in place.

“The rock pad placement will be taking place in a deep, slow moving pool where fish do not spawn, and is happening within a work window that’s the right time during the fish life cycle,” says Watson.

“Drilling equipment will then be placed onto the rock pad to drill into all the key areas of the rock plug.

Then, at the end of 2017, there will be one controlled blast to remove the entire rock plug, which will also happen when no spawning salmon are in the river.”

To ensure the placed rock doesn’t move from

potential high water flows during flood risk management operations, holes will be drilled through the rocks with cables running through them to create a single mass.

The pad will then behave like a single rock unit.

Once the rock blast takes place at the end of 2017, the rock pad and the broken up rock plug material will be removed by a crane and excavator.

The rock removal will allow water to flow from the tunnel into the river once the new facility is in operation.

The approximate 600 metre long tailrace tunnel from the new underground powerhouse to the Campbell River is planned to be complete this spring.

The John Hart Generating Station Replacement Project remains on schedule to have the new hydro facility commissioned in fall 2018.

New Hospital, New Equipment ...

No Need for Funding?

“We’re proud of our past and we’re not going anywhere because there’s still so much to be done.”

W

ith much anticipation, the brand new Campbell River District Hospital will be opening later this year. This state of the art building is home to many new pieces of medical equipment. This has raised an important question in our community: “If everything is new, why do we need to continue raising funds for our hospital?”.

-Stacey Marsh, Executive Director

The truth is, much of the equipment which we currently use is being moved to the new hospital. All equipment that has a suitable lifespan is being carried forward to avoid waste and unnecessary expenditures.

“On behalf of the Island Health Executive and Board, I would like to acknowledge and thank the Campbell River Hospital Foundation for the work it does to raise funds to help enhance the delivery of health care services to the patients we serve,... We look forward to working with the Foundation in the years ahead.”

- Dr. Brendan Carr, President & CEO, Island Health.

Over time, the equipment which has been brought over, as well as the new equipment will require replacement. New techniques and technologies will also create the need for new purchases. That is where the Hospital Foundation comes in.

Since 1989 the Foundation has been assisting Island Health with approximately 18% of its annual purchases. The Foundation is also very involved in staff education projects.

AWAY GAME: 830 West Island Highway, Parksville PUCK DROPS @ 7:30 PM

The U16 Upper Island Riptide defeated the Saanich Fusion 4-0 on a rainy Saturday afternoon on the Robron Turf.

Midget Tyees set torrid pace The Strathcona Toyota Midget Tyees continued in torrid late season form this past weekend with a pair of wins Saturday against Oceanside in Parksville and Sunday against Tri Port at Rod Brind’Amour Arena.

On Saturday, Oceanside started the game with an aggressive forecheck, quickly broken down by Campbell River’s patient defense, anchored by Doug Campbell and Liam Rivett, but with

emergent efforts from Bryce Nahri and Clinton Nelson.

The Tyees opened the scoring on an incisive breakout pass from Rivett to Seth Parker creating a 2-1 with the rapid transition, finished nicely by Jaxon Ward, one-timing Parkers’ cross-ice pass.

Oceanside had their defense pinching up in the neutral zone, with the Tyees victims of several open ice hits early in

the game. That quickly changed as Campbell River created odd man rushes with excellent puck support and passing.

The Tyees dominated possession, but were forced to play shorthanded frequently, with the officials taking a unique and creative approach: great for an art exhibition, less so for hockey. After giving up a power play goal against, the Tyees responded on

their own man-advantage, with Lukas Lund filling at the point for Rivett, drawing his man before sliding the puck to Nelson who found Jacob Hartley alone with a beautiful diagonal pass, Hartley finishing clinically. Garrett Lee and Lund formed a dynamic short-handed duo, and Lund put the Tyees up for good on a dominant penalty kill, inevitably burying his third scoring chance of

a single shift, assisted by Rivett. Nelson finished a strong game with a goal off his own rebound, set up by Hartley: 4-2 Tyees, in a game that should have been 8-2, tempered by excellent Parksville goaltending. Dominik Bellefleur was tested less frequently, but was spectacular at times.

Sunday’s game in Campbell River saw Tri Port’s fast, disciplined Eagles try to duplicate

LNG: SAFE, CLEAN, RELIABLE What is LNG? LNG stands for LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS. It’s the same clean-burning natural gas British Columbians use every day to heat their homes and cook their meals. The difference is it’s cold and it’s a liquid. By cooling gas into a liquid, its volume shrinks by 600 times, making it easier to safely store and transport to markets around the world.

LNG is odourless, non-toxic, non-flammable, non-corrosive and non-explosive.

China

1.6 MILLION Burning coal is the BIGGEST CONTRIBUTOR to poor air quality in China

Poor air quality kills

5.5 MILLION PEOPLE worldwide every year

India

1.4 MILLION

LNG is seen as a transitional power source that can improve global air quality and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which is good for everyone.

RIDE James Durand

an upset against the Tyees in Port Hardy, getting a bit of help from a breakdown in home-team discipline.

The game saw the Tyees outshoot the Eagles 48-16, but Tri Port led after the first 1-0. Early in the second Lukas Lund was assessed a misconduct, sitting the next 13 minutes, waiting for a play stoppage after his 10 minute sentence for “discussion.” He was back for the third, somewhat motivated, and Lund tied the game a minute into the third, on a brilliant cross-crease pass from captain Owen Boyd with Nelson picking up the second assist. Then, after Tri Port scored following a neutral zone Tyee turn-over, one of a series, Boyd and Rivet set up Lund to take the lead again.

After a second Eagle goal, Campbell River went ahead for good midway in the third on a 5 on 3, with Campbell and Nahri setting up Lund again for the hat-trick. Lund would score once more, short-handed, to make it four, the goal unassisted though the Tyees penalty kill collectively choked away the Eagle’s possession: 4-2 Tyees. Ben Regier had a strong 2 way game for the Tyees.

Errors continue to plague Campbell River, but while the coaching team will want the boys to tighten up and work on their system it is always a positive when a team can feel free to be creative, can play without fear of mistakes, and every player can feel like they have a role and a right to contribute. That being said, playoffs loom.

The Midget Tyees will host Oceanside on Jan. 28 at 4 p.m. and Comox Valley on Jan. 29 at 2:30 p.m. to begin Island League Playoffs.

ver been on that ride when you are flowing perfectly and having the ride of your life, then you see some blowdown and it all comes to a stop?

You get off the bike, grab your saw and clear the trail.

Then get back into the flow, maybe.

On certain rides, the flow just doesn’t come back. The disruption killed it.

It’s still a good ride, but you kind of wish you hadn’t bothered with the trail work and just hopped over the log with grace as you enjoyed the amazing ride that day. The next guy will probably cut out the blow down right?

When I started mountain biking, it was ingrained in me that you never rely on the next guy and if everyone just stops and does one little bit, we all benefit from a better trail network and a better biking community.

It seems lately I have faltered a bit. I still do trail work, cut out

Fishing Corner with

Don Daniels

There has been a few more boat trailers parked at the Big Rock boat launch and Monday the weather improved enough for some to get out and head toward the Lighthouse where undersize winter springs are being hooked.

It may be better than heading to Deep Bay where sea lions are going after bait while the Kyle Taylor and Jessica Parker were out mating season is here. in the chuck winter fishing in December.

The same goes for sea lions near Denman Island.

For some, getting a salmon in the along with the crabs and, of course, boat is a bonus and there are some it depends where you set the traps. locals who have a knack for getting I get to stop in at Roberts Lake twice fish in the boat like Rick Hickey from a week and on a recent stop, Lorna Campbell River whom I met last fall. Duncan mentioned that a trout was Rick has now moved to Gold River caught and released at the north end and will be operating his charter of the lake that made the 5.1 pounder fishing company. I look forward caught a while back look small. This to fishing at Nootka Sound in the trout could be around seven pounds. year to come. Rick reports that at A lady had caught the trout fishing this time of year, winter springs and from shore. halibut are deeper than normal. The Roberts Lake has depths of 181 feet prawns are still in 300 feet of water of water and trout do wonder around

and can be can be fished with lures in the areas where it drops off. There is a bait ban on Roberts Lake and many trout can be found in 20 feet of water.

In Sayward, the Salmon River looks fishable and one of the locals who fly fishes had mentioned that fishing both the Salmon and Quinsam Rivers has been good for seven and eight-pound steelhead.

Give it another three weeks and more anglers will be fishing the local rivers.

Last Sunday, a group of 10 met at Tyee Marine for my beginners fly tying sessions which will continue at the Campbell River Library on Sunday, Feb. 12 starting at 1 p.m. A fly pattern I have tested locally that gets results is the Humpy tied in a 10 to 16 hook size with a floss body in any colour along with deer hair and a saddle brown hackle up front.

With the cold weather, some local lakes, like Beavertail, are iced over.

Wrestling coach and educator left a legacy of excellence in his athletes and students ALISTAIR TAYLOR

Holten Ewing, pins an opponent for the win.

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Wrestlers in Campbell River are in high gear as they prepare the Campbell River Invite wrestling tournament being held at Timberline on Saturday and the upcoming Alberni Invite, Zone Championships, and Provincial Championships being held in the following weeks.

“Our kids have been really working hard at practice and in competitions over the past few weeks,” said high school coach and tournament organizer, Paul Murphy. “They are pretty pumped at the prospect at doing well in front of the home town fans this weekend.”

When asked about the upcoming tournament in Campbell River, elementary coach Soshanna Assu described her young athletes as being “excited and a little bit nervous about wrestling in their first tournament.”

Club coaches, Matt Sparling and Pat Berrovoets are also looking forward to the tournament, as this year there will be competition coming not just from the Vancouver Island area, but also from the lower mainland. Sparling said, “Our once modest tournament has gained the reputation over the past decade of being very well run, and offering excellent competition for wrestlers of all ages and ability – and now we are getting attention from teams off the island.” The tournament begins at 10 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 28. It is free of charge for spectators, and there will be a concession for the purchase of food, drinks, and coffee. The coveted “Most Outstanding Wrestler” BELT and plaques for the top teams will be awarded at 2:30 p.m.

For recent wrestling results see www.campbellrivermirror.com

ributes are pouring in for a man who not only started Campbell River’s tradition of wrestling excellence, taking his teams to the top of the sport in the province, but also, more importantly, had a profoundly positive impact on the lives of the students he coached and taught.

Brett Lawrason passed away on Jan. 13 in Chilliwack at the age of 66. He is survived by his wife Debbie and daughters Danielle and Kaycie and their families.

Lawrason started teaching and coaching at Robron Secondary upon it’s opening in the late 1970s, moving over to that school from Carihi. Almost immediately, he launched the wrestling program and influenced a generation of wrestlers.

According to a statement on the Wrestling BC website, Lawrason built one of the

strongest programs of the 1980’s at Robron Secondary. His teams placed in the top 10 for 10 consecutive years, including a provincial championship team at Robron in 1989. Under Lawrason’s tutelage, his wrestlers won 10 golds, nine silvers, eight bronzes, 11 fourth places, nine fifth places and four sixth places at the BC High School Wrestling Championships.

Two of his wrestlers won outstanding wrestler awards at the BC’s.

Lawrason himself was

named Outstanding BC High School Coach in 1983.

“Brett’s legacy extends beyond his success on the mat,” the Wrestling BC statement says. “He encouraged students to join his wrestling teams and provided a safe and welcoming place for everyone. Athleticism or skill was not a requirement. Most importantly, Brett’s athletes understood the values of commitment and loyalty, something Brett modelled and instilled in all his teams. It is this legacy he could be most

proud of.”

On the Campbell River Wrestling Facebook page, Lawrason was called “the man who started it all for Campbell River wrestling” and left an impressive legacy.

“He inspired, and passed the coaching (and/or teaching) torch to many people including: Victor Dean Misko, Bill Nelson, Todd Fair, Scott McKenzie, Phil Cizmic, Mike Thompson, Derek Berg, and Jason Kerluck. What would wrestling have looked like in Campbell River over the past decades, without Brett being here in the 80’s and 90’s? His lasting influence is still felt not only in Campbell River, but in other communities as well,” a post on the page says. “Brett was not only a coach, teacher, and mentor but he was also an adult whose athletes could always trust to share their hopes, dreams, and life problems with. He wasn’t just our teacher/ coach – but was also

our unofficial guidance counsellor. He listened, offered help and advice, got us jobs, and he always had your back.

He would advocate relentlessly for his athletes and our sport.”

Phil Cizmic, an athlete for five of the years that Lawrason was at Robron, was a member of Campbell River’s first high school championship team. He is also now principal of Ripple Rock Elementary School in Campbell River.

“He was one of those educators that everyone was drawn to,” Cizmic said. “He had a kind of charismatic personality.

“As a wrestling coach, he was amazing.”

Cizmic said Lawrason built one of the “power programs of the 80s and early 90s” in a community competing against schools two and three times larger.

Lawrason had an ability to connect with students and get them interested and involved.

“He coached rugby and he coached wres-

Community rallies for Abbotsford Centre for Spiritual police officer with terminal cancer Living revealing a mural on Sunday

VIKKI HOPES BLACK PRESS

Police officers and the community are rallying behind an Abbotsford cop raised in Campbell River who was diagnosed with terminal cancer in September.

A fundraising campaign in support of Const. Ryan Masales and his family has so far raised more than $94,700.

Abbotsford Police Const. Daryl Young, a friend and co-worker of Masales, set up the GoFundMe account last September and said he is amazed and humbled at the response.

Young initially set a fundraising goal of $20,000 but increased it to $100,000 to accommodate the unexpected level of generosity.

“This is just a testament to how amazing an officer and person Ryan is,” Young said.

Masales, who has been with the Abbotsford Police Department (APD) since 2010, was diagnosed with an

Const. Ryan Masales has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. Abbotsford has rallied around him, donating more than $94,700 for him and his family.

aggressive stage 4 brain tumour on Sept. 15 after experiencing a seizure at work 10 days earlier.

He has since had surgery to remove the tumour but was given the devastating news that his condition is terminal.

Masales is married to another Abbotsford

Police officer, Estelize, and the couple have a four-year-old son, Ryder.

Masales grew up in Campbell River and graduated from Robron Secondary School.

His parents only recently left Campbell River to be near their grandson.

Young said Masales, who most recently worked with the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit, is a highly respected officer and an “outgoing and upbeat kind of guy that people like to be around.”

Young said the campaign has been supported by the Abbotsford Police union and employees of the APD,

as well as the Vancouver Police Department, where Masales served 11 years before going to Abbotsford.

Young said the funds are going to the family to use as they see fit, “whatever is going to make their quality of life better.”

The campaign can be found online at gofundme. com/2pb65x3j

The Centre for Spiritual Living’s white wall that faces Dogwood St. will soon be adorned with a mural created by local artists.

Collette Ordano, secretary of the Centre for Spiritual Living’s Board of Trustees, said that the idea to create a mural came to her while she was participating in the centre’s dialogue meeting, a program where participants meditate and share and develop the ideas that come to them during that process.

At first she dismissed it because she does not have the artistic ability to make it happen.

“But it kept kind of resurfacing,” she said.

She eventually realized that she could recruit artists within the community to make the project happen.

With the help of the Arts Council and tips from a lady in Chemainus who coordinates murals, Ordano’s dream

became a reality.

“The whole idea being that the Centre for Spiritual Living supports people, and in my case young adults, to kind of carry their visions forward, to not stuff them away, to not disregard them because you think you don’t have the ability,” she said.

The centre fundraised for the supplies and six artists volunteered their time over a number of weeks to make the mural happen.

“They were set up in the hall for a couple of weeks,” Ordano said.

“They came in and out as they could and worked on their pieces.”

Sharing in the design and painting are Zen Baer, Emily Goodwin, Katy Thompson, Maggie O’Connor, Bee Flach, and Natalia Chaikina.

Gregory Hazlehurst is helping with construction.

This Sunday at noon the mural is going to be revealed and the public as well as everyone who was involved are invited to the celebration .

T

he Campbell River Fish and Wildlife Club is gearing up for their annual banquet and fundraiser, to be held this year at Thunderbird hall Feb. 18.

The event is the club’s main source of funding, helping them create and keep up various initiatives within the region supporting wildlife sustainability, ecosystem restoration, scientific research and leisure amenities.

“The funds we generate from the banquet carry us for the year doing different community projects,” says club treasurer Ron May. Those projects include things like the recreation site at Beavertail Lake they completed last spring. That site consists of concrete foundations for picnic tables, the tables themselves, a number of fire pit rings, an 80-foot dock and an outhouse. They completed a similar site at Echo Lake just a few

months ago.

But those sites need maintenance, too.

“We go up there every two weeks or so and clean the sites, replace the toilet paper, that kind of thing,” May says. While the time is donated by volunteers, equipment and supplies have to be purchased to perform the maintenance and do any repairs that are needed.

The group also has to deal with vandalism on occasion.

As the Mirror reported last spring, shortly after the Beavertail site’s installation, after the volunteers had gone home for the day, someone showed up and left shoe prints and vulgar drawings in the stillsetting concrete pads for the picnic tables.

The group called their discovery “disheartening,” but went back up with more concrete and repaired the damage.

“We had members stay there while it set, kind of babysitting it to make sure it was good and ready before they left,” May says.

Egg program at Mohun Creek, the region-wide Wilderness Watch Program and annual deer counts and stream restoration work.

May says those purchasing tickets to the upcoming banquet to help support them in their efforts can expect a great night.

All the meat for the banquet is donated by local hunters, and May says each year they have varying offerings of everything from the more common wild-

Members of the Campbell River Fish and Wildlife Club install the dock at Beavertail Lake last spring.

Since then there has been some damage done to the site, but nothing to the extent of the initial vandalism.

But he says the majority of users – of which there are many – are considerate and enjoy their time at the sites.

“We expected the pit toilets to last a couple of years before needing to be cleaned out, but they’ve needed to be cleaned out already,” May continues with a chuckle. “So I guess the site is getting pretty good use.”

But they don’t just use the funds raised at the annual banquet to put in and maintain recreation sites. Wade Major, club president, says the group is also heavily invested

in various conservation and sustainability initiatives in the region, such as lake fertilization programs at Martha and Reginald Lake, the Pink

WISE Doug Sloan

Italy offers us an astonishing variety of wines in all categories – red, white and rosé, still, sparkling, dessert and fortified – but the red wines are what we usually think about when we think about Italian wine.

Apulia – also known as Puglia - includes the heel of the boot of Italy all the way up to the spur of Parco Nazionale del Gargano, just east of San Severo. Bordering the warm southern reaches of the Adriatic Sea, it is hot and dry and perfectly suited for ripening dusky red wine grapes.

Billing itself as “The biggest ‘Boutique Winery in Italy’ the Farnese Group is currently producing more than 13 million bottles a year as it moves to rebrand all of its wines as Fantini.

Opinion

Every now and then a ripe and elegant lesser red wine comes along and captivates even knowledgeable wine lovers with its quality and affordability.

A blend of 60 per cent Merlot and 40 per cent Corvina, Gran Passione Rosso (509018) $17.95 is crafted in an ‘Appassimento’ style like the Amarone wines of the Veneto.

Over the centuries, this technique of drying the grapes before crushing has clearly been perfected.

Ripe dark cherr y, plum, vanilla and cake spices predominate in this remarkably luscious red.

Aglianico is a red wine grape variety native to southern Italy. It is known to produce fullbodied red wines that show musky berry flavors with firm tannins and good aging potential.

From a winery built on the Volcanic soils east of Naples, Feudi di San Gregorio Trigaio Aglianico (687244) $18.79 is a dusky dark red wine, that surprises most wine lovers with its bright cherry and raspberry flavours.

Savoury notes of salty tar and liquorice fill out the long, silky finish.

Unbelievably rich and surprisingly fruity, Toramaresca Castel del Monte Trentangeli (675843) $19.99 is another bargain red from Puglia and a southern Italian project of the famed Antinori family.

A blend of 70 per cent Aglianico, 20 per cent Cabernet Sauvignon and 10 per cent Syrah, this is an ‘Old World” red with all kinds of voluptuous New World’ attitude.

Based in the Veneto region, Allegrini’s Villa Della Torre is unique, built during the Renaissance period along the lines of the ancient Roman home or ‘Domus Antiqua’.

Today it is the official headquarters and the showpiece of Allegrini Estates.

Allegrini Palazzo della Torre (466011) $31.99, is 70 per cent Corvina, 25 per cent Rondinella and 5 per cent Sangiovese with a portion of the grapes held back and dried almost into raisins to finish off the wine after the initial fermentation.

It is overflowing with a medley of red, blue and black berry aromas and flavours over an earthy base of herbs and spicy white pepper.

Look for the Allegrini table at the Vancouver International Wine Festival.

With less than three weeks to go, it’s still not too late to get organized and over to Vancouver for the festival.

Maybe I’ll see you there?

Family left behind in unstable Syria KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

M

erell Awad is on pins and needles awaiting word that her family, which she says has been left behind in Syria, can board a flight to Canada.

Awad says her family has been left in limbo after her middle sister, Rania Nassar, her husband and two daughters, were left out of a wave of Syrians admitted into Canada as refugees last year.

Awad’s sister is in Latakia – one of the safer areas of Syria – but rockets are still crashing all around them.

“Explosions are still ongoing and people are dying but you can’t tell when,” Awad says.

“It’s unstable. When an explosion is going to happen, no one knows.

Where? No one knows.

It might happen anytime, anywhere.”

In the meantime, Campbell River’s Syrian Refugee Support Committee, which is working with St. Peter’s Anglican Church to sponsor the family, as well as two family members of Awad’s husband, Fouad, are struggling here at home with the state of the housing market.

The committee is trying to secure rental housing for the Syrian families so that they have homes once they arrive in Campbell River.

But Awad says rental prices seem to have skyrocketed and they’ve been quoted between

Samira Mitias, right, enjoys the company of members of St. Peter’s Anglican Church who brought Christmas to Campbell River’s Syrian refugees.

$1,400-$1,600 on a couple of townhouses they’ve looked at.

“It’s getting harder and harder in Campbell River to find rentals,” Awad says. “Rentals are very expensive, way more than we expected.

We still have two families to come, so we need a lot more to reach our

goal because housing prices have gone up.”

Last year, the committee was fortunate enough to find a townhouse in Willow Point for Awad’s youngest sister, Huda Nassar, her husband Madi Barhoum and their two teenaged sons, Elias and Leon.

The family arrived

in Campbell River as refugees in June and are still settling into life in Canada.

They’ve found employment and the boys are doing well with their studies but are facing some societal challenges.

The boys are planning to transfer from Tim-

berline at the end of the month to start the next semester at Carihi.

Elias, meanwhile, continues to receive medical care and has been undergoing treatment at BC Children’s Hospital at least once a month while he awaits a kidney transplant.

Awad’s mother, Samira Mitias, who also arrived in Campbell River last June, lives with Awad and her husband.

Awad says for her sister, reality is just starting to set in.

“She’s starting to notice the effects of what happened, how it affected their life, how much stress they were actually under in Syria,” Awad says. “When you’re there, living it, you think, ‘it’s okay, we’re used to it‚‘ but once you change your life you realize, ‘it wasn’t safe.’ She’s noticed that her shoulder and neck pain from the stress is gone now.”

Awad says the Syrians enjoyed their first Canadian Christmas thanks to the efforts of volunteers from the Anglican church who decorated Nassar and Barhoum’s house, put up a Christmas tree, and showed up one evening to sing Christmas carols at their door and bring gifts for the family.

“Christmas was wonderful. They were blessed and overwhelmed,” Awad says.” They took Christmas on their shoulders and brought it to the family.”

Awad says the only thing missing was their

sister who is feeling abandoned in Syria.

“It was the worst Christmas for them, while here it was the best Christmas,” Awad says. “Because my sister, all her family is here now and the kids were close to their auntie and grandma and they feel left behind. It was hard on them. We miss our sister so much.”

Awad says it’s frustrating because her sister, Rania, and her two daughters have completed the required medical tests and interviews and were given approval last October to come to Canada.

Now three months later, they’re still waiting for a phone call from the International Organization for Migration (IOM), to give the official go-ahead for them to get on a plane.

“We’re still waiting on their transportation so they can fly here,” Awad says. “We’re waiting and hoping it will happen anytime. What we’re waiting for, we don’t know. Why the delay?

We’re hoping for more news next month.”

Awad’s family members are among thousands of Syrians who were left behind after the federal government reached its 25,000 Syrian refugee quota that it set for 2016.

“Thousands of families are waiting and feel like they’ve been left behind,” Awad says.

“They promised all those with paperwork in by February (of last year) that they would be here in 2016 and we’re still waiting.”

Awad says her family had their papers approved in January, 2016 and medical tests were completed in midFebruary of last year.

So now, Awad says, it’s a “waiting process.”

In the meantime, the Campbell River Syrian Refugee Committee has a number of fundraisers on the horizon to raise money to house the refugees once they arrive and support the families in setting up their new lives.

This Saturday, Jan. 28, the band Inclusion is playing at the Community Centre, starting at 6 p.m., by donation in support of the refugee committee.

Then on April 21, the committee will host a burger and beer night in the Royal Coachman’s Carriage Room, with live entertainment courtesy of vocalist Cat Kalyniuk.

The committee is also planning to publish a Syrian cookbook, full of pictures and recipes from the Awads’ kitchen.

“They’re our recipes for traditional Syrian food and they’re 100 per cent authentic,” says Awad, who owns BaBa Gannouj restaurant with her husband.

For more information on the committee, its fundraisers, and to suggest ideas for future fundraisers, visit the Campbell River Syrian Refugee Support Committee. The committee is also accepting donations via Canada Helps which can be accessed through the committee’s Facebook page.

Gift Wrapped Generosity Did you know, Gourmet Essentials offers complimentary gift wrapping? They suggest an in store donation to the Campbell River Hospital Foundation.

Each year, their customers seem to step up their generosity in a big way.

This year, they collected a total of $1,800. This total exceeds previous years substantially. A huge thank you to everyone who donated, and to Gourmet Essentials for making this program possible.

Baby Annie Purchased At their annual general meeting, in lieu of speaker honorariums, the BC Salmon Farmers Association chose to generously donate $1,000 to support the purchase of a Baby Annie Doll for the Maternity Department.

Annie is very helpful for this training. Thank you BCSFA!

Monthly Giving Because You Care.

Ian Roberts & Lori Walton “When needed, our hospital’s services have always been there for us.

What is Monthly Giving?

Why Give Monthly?

Signing up for monthly donations is easy!

Dependable income: Your regular donation allows for more efficient planning.

By giving a small amount each month, you can make a big difference to your hospital. Our monthly giving program allows you to donate over 12 months by pre-authorizing withdrawls from your bank account or making reocurring charges on your credit card. Your donations will be recognized with one receipt at the end of the year.

When you become a member of our monthly giving program, you’re joining a family who shares our commitment to a new kind of health care for a healthier community.

A monthly gift can be of any amount of your choosing conveniently debited from your account. These payments can be altered or stopped at any time.

We give monthly to the Hospital Foundation to ensure these services are enhanced for all of us in the future.”

A wise investment: You will be supporting a valuable and critical community asset so it will be ready when you and your loved ones need it most.

A win-win situation: Administrative costs are reduced; lower costs on our end means you get more distance from your donation dollars: more goes to patient care, modern equipment and staff training.

Budget friendly: The plan is affordable and donations are easy to fit into your budget.

A time saver: You won’t have to write a cheque or search for a stamp every time you make a donation.

Each year, our hospital performs over 35,000 x-rays and 4,600 mammograms.

“Being involved with the Italian Cultural Society made me realize just how much the Hospital Foundation does for both the hospital and the community. Best of all, the money stays here in Campbell River. With this in mind, I decided to help out by giving monthly.”

We think that anyone who gives it a bit of thought would agree that we need our Hospital to be the very best equipped and staffed hospital possible.

Donations of time and money are absolutely key to making that happen.

Constellations set to lift your winter blues I

nstead of giving a Christmas concert this year, the Campbell River Community Band decided they would all need cheering up by the end of January. And how much further from this dreary winter can you get than outer space?

In a concert entitled “Constellations,” the band will take you there on Saturday (Jan.28).

The concert is at 7 p.m. in the Maritime Heritage Centre. Admission is by donation and and refreshments prepared by the members will be served.

Under the direction of Kolya Kowalchuk, the thirtymember band has prepared an exciting program of new and familiar music centred

on stars, planets and the exploration of outer space.

Frank Ticheli is one of America’s leading composers of band music. A new score by Ticheli is always a revelation and Sun Dance is no exception. The composer wanted to express a feeling of “bright joy” in this spirited piece with lots of interesting dance rhythms.

The music John Williams wrote for Star Wars pretty much defined “outer space” for a generation, and the band has worked hard on a long medley of this great music for the concert, as well.

One Giant Leap, by Erik Morales, uses audio clips from President Kennedy, Commander Neil Armstrong and others as the music

tells the story of the historic moon landing, especially timely as the last man to set foot on the moon has just died.

Sometimes you need a little whimsy to get through January. When you Wish upon a Star, originally from the film Pinocchio and now inseparable from the Disney brand, has been arranged in big band style by Sammy Nestico and features trumpeter Roger Kirk.

Other music will be less familiar to the audience, but there is plenty of variety in works such as To a Distant Place, To Sail Beyond the Stars, Beyond the Horizon, Mars, and a suite titled Constellations.

Although this is an evening concert, it’s early enough and

Re-‘framing’ the art business

Impressions looks to better serve the art community by changing their focus MIKE DAVIES CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

T

here’s a reason people have been walking through the door of Impressions Custom Framing and Gallery and immediately asking “what’s going on?”

That’s because they are working on a major revamp that will see a number of significant changes come to the downtown store this year, according to owner Kris Sand and manager Peter Davies.

They’re keeping the name. And they’ll still be selling art supplies and doing custom framing work.

So what could they possibly be changing?

That’s what they already did, right?

Well, the most significant change is that the store – which literally has “gallery” in its name – will soon have much less art on the walls.

While this will surely be disappointing for local artists who already struggle to find places to show and sell their work, Sand says it just wasn’t worth it for them financially to keep offering that service when they could better utilize the space.

“It’s always been a service we provided for the artists rather than a benefit for the business,” Sand says. “And it’s a tremendous amount of work on our end to

maintain it for very little, if any, benefit to us as a business.”

Yes, Impressions charged a commission on art sales that came off their walls – and they made some money by doing that – but when you’re looking at two or three sales per year coming out of about one-third of their space – leased by the foot – you can understand why they needed to make the change, Sand says.

“The gallery, whilst it was great in supporting the artists in giving them a place to show, the sales just weren’t happening,” Davies agrees. “I always told people, ‘if you want to actually sell your paintings, don’t hang them here,’” he says. “I told them it was good for displaying and getting them in front of the public, but don’t expect them to sell.”

And it’s not that they won’t be supporting artists in the showing and selling of their work anymore. They just won’t be by giving up the walls of their store.

They plan on doing this not only launching what Sand is calling a “virtual gallery” for artists to contribute to, but also by throwing some of their weight behind other show and sale endeavours.

“Rather than having stuff here, taking up a third of our real estate,

MIKE DAVIES/CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Pete Davies is excited about the changes coming to Impressions Custom Framing and Gallery, which will become less gallery and more retail and service-based as they reimagine what they can do to best serve the arts community of Campbell River and surrounding area.

we’ll have people put their stuff in our virtual gallery online,” Sand says. “We haven’t sussed out exactly what that’s going to look like yet, but it’ll be another avenue for people to show their work. And I think there could be enough avenues in Campbell River for people to show and sell their work if people would support them.

“Personally, I’d like to start supporting more of these pop-up galleries and that kind of thing. I think everyone should be working on that. When a building or storefront downtown goes empty – what’s uglier than an empty building? – what if we could talk to these building owners and say, ‘let us go in there with some art and if you rent it, well, we can be out of there in a couple of days.’ It’s good for art and it’s good for the

community.”

So now the front third of the store – which was gallery space up until the start of 2017 – will become additional retail space to allow them to expand their offerings.

“We needed to expand on our product delivery to make sure we were giving people access to what they need in terms of supplies,” Davies says.

“And we’re doing that based on what we’ve heard from people about what they need.”

Another big change coming for Impressions, Davies says, is their communication and cooperation with the local art instructors.

“Another thing we’re trying to do is to link up with the various people in the community who give art lessons and that kind of thing, because we get a lot of students who come in with their product list and there might be a small dis-

crepancy between the name of what’s on the list and what we actually stock, and first time artists, for example, if they have a list that says ‘Winsor-Newton such and such a colour,’ they don’t think it can be anything else,” Davies says. “So we’re hoping to touch base with these people offering these courses and make sure that we know what they’re asking people to get and to let us know when they’re going to be needing it so we can make sure we can get it should the students come dashing in here looking for it.”

Sand says they will also be broadening the number of services they offer.

“We’re definitely making to look to make it a more interactive store,” Sand says, “rather than a place where you just go in to buy art supplies.”

One of those “interac-

tive” aspects will be the creation of an online database of tips videos and in-store tutorials, and making much better use of their social media platforms to tighten up the local arts community and get communication going.

And that’s not the only change coming online for the store. They’re

also looking to create an “Amazon-esque” kind of shopping experience on their website for people who may prefer to do their shopping that way.

“It would be a place online where they would be able to fill a virtual cart of our products, and then when they want to check out, we’ll go around the store and make them a box, so all they have to do is come in and pick it up,” Davies says.

This all takes time, however, and there’s no real timeline on when all of these changes will be fully implemented.

They still have to run their business, after all.

“Softly, softly, catchy monkey,” Davies says.

Wait, what?

“I don’t know where it came from,” he says, laughing, “but the idea is that if you want to catch a monkey, you have to go, softly. Softly.

We can’t just go jumping into all of this feet first. We have to work through it one step at a time.

“Softly, softly, catchy monkey.”

JOCELYN DOLL CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

B e cky Wolfe and Michele van der Wielen are hoping to make the Campbell River Common a busy place once again.

The duo are spearheading a bi-monthly indoor market, the first of which is on Feb. 4.

“Especially for us moms with kids at home, we could use a couple venues just to keep the stay at home mom income going,” Wolfe said.

Not only are they providing a space for homebased businesses to reach the community, they are also creating an event for families to attend. Wolfe said she has spent many rainy afternoons walking with her children in the mall, as it is an opportunity for her to get out of her house.

JOCELYN DOLL/CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Becky Wolfe and Michele van der Wielen are organizing a bi-monthly market in the Campbell River Common starting on Feb.4.

“This rainy fall my kids were going up the wall,” she said.

And she hopes the market will let other families know that the mall is still there and a great place for events. The upcoming markets will have activities and entertainment for children, with vendors up and down the hallways.

Each Saturday will be associated with a different charity, who will bring different activities, and hopefully a different crowd, to each event. The duo hope to have a core

set of vendors and then others coming and going to keep things fresh and have families coming back every other Saturday. So far the pair have received nothing but positive feedback. Wolfe said the seniors who come to the mall to attend the senior’s centre are excited to see something new happen and van der Wielen said many of the businesses are excited at the new opportunity.

Upcoming dates for the event are Feb. 4 and 18, March 4 and 18 and April 1 and 29.

MANAGING YOUR MONEY How to turn your 3x8passion into a business during retirement

Investors

You might have something in common with Colonel Sanders of Kentucky Fried Chicken fame. When he reached 65, he didn’t retire. Instead he took the fried chicken recipe he had perfected through years of running a restaurant and turned it into a pioneering franchising behemoth that made him a very wealthy man.

If you’re like Colonel Sanders, if you’ve reached “retirement age” but aren’t ready to call it quits, if you have a passion that you’d like to turn into a business during retirement – here’s what you need to know: Your passion becomes your product Colonel Sanders had a passion for perfect fried chicken – and making money. Your passion may be photography, painting, crafting or any of a hundred other pursuits that you now intend to turn from a relaxing activity into a retirement career. Be aware that you may come to look at your “passion” differently when it becomes a stressful endeavor, especially when things may not be going too well. The keys are to be honest with yourself about the potential for your business and to work equally hard at staying motivated.

Know the risks and challenges Your business idea is brilliant. But it is also risky – so protect your retirement savings by keeping your start-up costs

to a minimum and avoiding heavy debt.

For example, don’t lease office space or hire employees until you absolutely have to. Early expenses eat into profit margins and make it difficult for a new business to survive.

Test the market If your new venture includes a new or different product or service, test the market before you make any rash decisions. Start with the most basic version of your product or service and sell it economically – perhaps online through social media sites like Twitter, Facebook and Instagram – and gauge customer feedback to decide if your business venture makes financial sense.

Keep it simple Finance your business with money you can afford to lose. If you find yourself tempted to tap into your retirement account to fund your business, take it as a warning that you’re probably about to get into something you’re not financially prepared for.

Creating a retirement business from your passion could end up being the most satisfying and rewarding life decision you have ever made. Make sure you have all the information – on taxation, licencing and all the other vital details you must master to run a successful business – by talking to you lawyer, accountant and professional advisor before you take the first step into your new career.

A Look Back

THE HISTORY OF THE CAMPBELL RIVER AREA

How marine traffic has changed in the last century ERIKA ANDERSON MUSEUM AT CAMPBELL RIVER

T

he Museum foyer windows have a spectacular view over Discovery Passage.

Daily, a myriad boats go by.

Recreational fishing boats carrying eager fishermen with hopes of fresh catch for dinner, commercial fishing boats braving the elements trying to make a living from the seas, the occasional cruise ship during the summer months, barges of shipping containers, luxury yachts and more. A hundred years ago, the boat traffic would have had a different makeup.

Instead of today’s large cruise ships with luxurious accommodations, casinos and swimming pools, we had the lifeline of the BC Coast – the Union Steamships. One hundred years ago, Campbell River was a regular port of call for the Union Steamships.

The Union Steamships would bring passengers, supplies, and news to communities all over the coast. They also provided onboard dining and entertainment, a rare treat for those living in rural areas. Everyone from the loggers leaving camp for a break in the city, to expectant mothers looking to give birth closer to medical facilities, the Union Steamships provided a much-valued service.

These steamships also filled the role now filled by B.C. ferries to provide access to the islands. With the steamships stopping at many more

settlements than the ferries do today, the islands near Campbell River had more settlements and communities. With less roads available, the waterways were the way most people travelled. Today canoeing or rowing across the passage would generally only occur as part of a special event, in the past, residents regularly canoed around to Quadra Island and other settlements.

www.crmuseum.ca

Men and women in rowboats, canoes, skiffs and even small sailboats would spend their summer days trolling off Cape Mudge. Handliners would catch salmon one at a time to take to the cannery.

Anything that would float was used to row, catching enough fish to subside on, but nothing that would ever make them wealthy.

This way of life reached its peak in the 30’s, and then as

Train Show 7x3 January 28 | noon to 5pm AND

times improved, people began to acquire motors for their boats and things changed.

Today, where once we saw the handliners working, we now see many recreational fishing boats.

Often we see aluminum or fiberglass boats equipped with downriggers, and on a good day in the summer they may number in the hundreds.

The Quathiaski Canning Company owned a few seine

boats that would catch fish for the cannery. These motorized seiners were among the earliest on this part of the coast.

Despite a difficult start, once W.E. Anderson took ownership of the cannery, it became a thriving industry employing 200 to 300 people. Anderson, who owned Quathiaski Cannery, also had fish traps set up where the seiners would go check for fish.

Logging operations were located all over the coast and had to transport their wood to larger centres to sell.

Tug boats, loaded up with coal, would collect the wood and transport it to the city.

In the dangerous waters of Discovery Passage, pulling a heavy cargo of logs at the end of a towline is dangerous work, and this was even more true one hundred years ago before the destruction of Ripple Rock and this “Devil Beneath the Sea” was still sinking ships.

Unlike the rest of the marine traffic, recreational ocean fishing at the Tyee Spit one hundred years ago is not so different than today.

The Tyee Club was established in 1924, in part due to recent increases in the number of Tyee fishermen coming to Campbell River to catch the large fish.

With so many fishermen arriving in Campbell River, they wanted to standardize the sport of salmon fishing.

There isn’t much in Campbell River that has stayed the same over the last one hundred years, but it’s nice to know the Tyee Club has kept this piece of Campbell River’s past alive.

IN MEMORIAM

OLSEN, ROBERT (BOB) CHRISTOPHER FYHN “CAPTAIN BOB�

May 24, 1959 - January 13th, 2017 It is with deep sadness we say goodbye to a wonderful husband, father, son, brother, uncle and friend after battling valiantly from the effects of a severe stroke in 2013, and an 18 month fight with cancer. Bob passed peacefully at home surrounded by the love of his family...late at night...just in time for his Mate’s shift.

Bob leaves many wonderful memories for his wife and love of his life of 31 years, Sharon, his two sons Matthew and Andrew, his loving parents Robert and Regina Olsen, sisters Karen Olsen and Kirsten Heller (Brian) brother Norm (Cheryl) fatherin-law Clifford Ross (and late mother-in-law Mary), brothersin-law James Ross (Sharon) and Robert Ross, sister-in-law Diane Mueller (Robert), as well as many nieces, nephews and extended family members.

Bob was born in Victoria, BC where he spent the first 15 years of his life. It was there he found his love for the water, spending countless hours on the beaches of View Royal with “the Victoria Boys�... sharing lots of adventures and hijinks. His family moved to Duncan where he finished high school, met Sharon and “the Duncan friends� and where lots of memories were made. After graduation, he worked in Kitimat & Youbou, then briefly as a truck driver and in construction. He travelled to Europe as part of a tour group in 1980, and even became a face on the Contiki Tours promotional poster. He later jumped at a chance to work in Campbell River, so two weeks after their wedding in 1985, Bob and Sharon moved to Campbell River where they shared a wonderful life raising their sons. Bob was involved in the startup of the Sportfish Center and eventually became a Fishing Guide with many returning customers.

He worked at the Quinsam Hatchery, Discovery Water Taxi and Marine Link, and even a brief “hare brained� stint as a logger, before heading back to marine school at 38 years old, where he excelled and earned his Captain’s Papers. His dream job came when he joined Inlet Navigation in 2006 where he was welcomed by the wonderful owners and crew. He was a true man of the sea and so proud of his life as a mariner.

Bob loved his family so much and always looked forward to seeing them, especially the “sibling weekends�. He was very proud of the life that he and Sharon had made together....they were a perfect match. He truly loved his two boys...they were his pride and joy. Whether it was hunting for a truck or hunting for an elk, he loved spending time with them. He fought so hard to be there for them, and watch them make their way in the world.

Bob was an outdoorsman with many interests. He hunted with the same guys for 25 years of which countless colorful stories have been told. He also played floor hockey for many years... Bob so loved the famous “floor hockey boys� camping trips. Whether camping with the guys or the family, he was always the “fire guy�...his campfires were legendary! He spent many days fishing, mountain biking, snow shoeing and hiking...but golf became his passion. So much so, that he encouraged Sharon to join him and soon they were a twosome on many courses. He was never more proud than when she shot a lower score than his!

Bob made many friends over the years. We often joked that he “collected� friends wherever he was, having some from as far back as kindergarten. Bob was very much loved and touched many lives. His warm smile and hearty laugh brought such life to any gathering. His friendliness was so welcoming to everyone he met. As “the social director� in the pursuit of having fun, he was the epitome of sociable, often being the first to raise his glass in a toast!

So many people were involved in helping Bob during the last 3 ½ years. We always felt so fortunate to have such a wonderful medical team on his side. A huge thank you to Dr. Warren at Vic General, Dr. Fitzgerald at Victoria Cancer Center, physiotherapist Robert Johnston, and Drs. Minnaar, Morrison and Coetzee...for making Bob feel he was in good hands and cared about, and all the Home & Community Care Nurses and Home Support Workers who made it possible for Bob to stay at home where he wanted to be. And a special thank you to the wonderful nurses in Campbell River Cancer Care, who brought laughter and lightness where it could sometimes be overwhelming. Bob’s attitude and positive outlook gave us all hope. His fight and determination through it all was an inspiration to everyone.

Bob had the biggest heart and a passion for life... and we all felt very blessed to be a part of his. He leaves a space no one can fill and will forever be remembered. As Bob would often say “We’ve sure got it good, don’t we!�

His ashes will be returned to the sea as he wished in a Sutton’s private family gathering. A Campbell River Funeral Home celebration to honor his life will 250-287-4812 be held in the spring and will be announced at a later date. www.suttonsfuneralhome.com

He was granted a Degree in “Bachelor of Applied Forest Resource Management� and became a Registered Forest Technologist� although he most recently worked as an Engineering Technologist.

He enjoyed working by himself and really did not like punching a time clock. He worked long hours so the task would get done so he could go to the next job. At the end of each year he would be putting the final touches on “Me Time�, he would throw together a back-pack, grab his passport and off he went. He would be excited to meet new people and experience the way they lived. He loved traveling to places that had great diving areas, he wanted to see things others just dreamt about. At home, he loved his garden and giving away the spoils of his work. He was ready for almost any natural disaster, earthquake, tsunami, flood, or the government if they screwed up. Donovan has left behind, with broken hearts and unanswered questions, his mom and step dad, Doreen and Blair Hickson, his dad Daniel Melin, his sister and brother-in-law Denyel and Logan Sears and their two children Molly and Cohen, and his half-sister Dakota Grout and her three boys Declan, Jacob, and Max. Grandparents O’Linda Halladay, Alice Hickson, Vern Halladay, numerous aunts and uncles, many cousins, co-workers, classmates, and all the people that he had crossed paths with in his life.

THE INTELLIGENCE OF TREES – PART 4 OF 4

It’s all for one and one for all in a forest community A of all its members.

Wholleben, in his more poetic description of trees, notes that they have “individual characters”.

Some, which he describes as having more “anxiety” than others, will drop their leaves early to avoid the damage of autumn storms. Others are riskier, willing to take the chance for a little extra growth.

Some are more gregarious than others, doing more communicating and trading — cedars, apparently, tend to be loners.

We, of course, would attribute this tree behaviour to genetics. But

couldn’t we say the same preferential treatment about the character of to their offspring when any human exchangbeing? ing sugSHADES ars and Children clearly nutrition. have innate While personthey may alities, preshare packaged in with their genetic fungi and structure. other They grow trees, up expressthey give ing these particular qualities. care to Why would their own we expect seedlings. a tree to be The any differ“mother” ent? trees, in The human analogy Wholleben’s terminolcomes even closer with ogy, are “nursing their Dr. Simard’s discovery babies.” that parent trees give Since they can’t move

OF GREEN Ray Grigg

lthough the sophistication of tree intelligence may stress some people’s credibility, Dr. Suzanne Simard — who has documented it with rigorous scientific protocols — contends it is an established fact.

Peter Wohllben has done the same. By examining the metabolism of trees over time, he has found that trees in a beech forest synchronize their photosynthesis so that each grows “into the best tree it can be.” This is not competition but a system of “mutual support”.

Indeed, a forest is a community that functions for the betterment

Opinion

to protect them from threatening conditions, they can supervise their growth so they become strong, disease resistant, insect aware, and ready to inherit the space when their parent dies. (These ideas, incidentally, fit with previous research that trees emit pheromones to warn other trees of disease or insect attacks.

In response, the forewarned trees change their leaf chemistry to be less susceptible to the disease or less appealing to the insect.)

We accept that dogs, ant and robins all live in a different reality that we do.

But the more we know

about them, the better we can imagine what their lives must be like.

Unlike a hummingbird, we don’t have wings to flap many times per second or the minds to routinely remember 500 flowers in succession, so we let them be themselves and appreciate the marvel of their existence.

Now we have scientists opening our doors of perception about trees.

Consider this a necessary part of the growing awareness if we are to function mindfully and wisely on this most amazing of all planets.

If our sense of forests and trees changes because of this new

awareness, it is for our betterment and, ultimately, for the betterment of the place in the universe where we must learn to live.

So, the sense of peace, order, design and collective intelligence we get when being in a mature forest is now supported by scientific evidence.

Indeed, the feeling of cooperation, harmony and tranquility exuded by such forests derives from multitudes of species all living together in a community of sharing, nurturing and communicating.

The complexity and sophistication is comparable to a human culture or civilization.
