CUPE uncertainty forces polling station move KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

ALISTAIR TAYLOR/THE MIRROR

Okay crew, listen up Susan Black of the Clean Living initiative outlines the job of picking up trash on Dogwood Street to volunteers from the Campbell River and District Association for Community LIving (CRADACL) on Thursday.

Take that, Moneysense magazine, Campbell River is a blooming award-winning place RENÉE ANDOR CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Campbell River cleaned up at the national Communities in Bloom awards ceremony.

The city won the national award for Communities in Bloom in the

20,001-50,000 population range, and received five blooms out of five. It also received a special mention for the Baikie Island Restoration Project, the Sustainable Development Award, and an award for having the best community exhibit during the sym-

posium and awards ceremony in Quebec over the weekend.

“It’s huge, it’s big, we’re really excited,” said City of Campbell River parks project supervisor Lynn Wark with a laugh.

“We actually had an incredibly successful year in the com-

munity this year. We had a lot of great community partnerships.”

Wark noted improvements like the Laughing Willow Community Garden on Simms Road, and the completion of the GreenContinued on A2

The city has changed the voting locations for the upcoming municipal election to avoid any conflicts with the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE).

As in the past, voting was slated to take place in city facilities but with the possibility of CUPE city workers putting up picket lines, the city had to go with a backup plan.

“Polling stations were originally planned for three locations – Discovery Passage school, the Community Centre and the Sportsplex,” said Peter Wipper, city clerk and chief election officer.

“But because of possible strike action, they had to be moved.”

Polling stations will now be in the gymnasiums at Ecole Phoenix Middle School (400-7th Ave.), Southgate Middle School (740 Holm Rd.) and Discovery Passage Elementary (2050 Pengelly Rd.) between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.

Advanced voting will take place at the Baptist Church (260 S. Dogwood St.) on Wed., Nov. 9 or on Wed., Nov. 16 between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.

Wipper said the decision to move the polling stations out of city facilities and into the schools was made before CUPE and the city reached a tentative collective agreement last Tuesday.

Although a CUPE strike is now less likely, Wipper said because of Continued on A2

Poll stations: Candidates not Organization not the one under fire notified of the changes RENÉE ANDOR

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Continued from A1 election notification requirements set by the province, the city can’t change the locations back.

Council candidate Sean Smith said last week he was not notified of the change in venue and happened to stumble across it on the City of Campbell River website.

“All the new candidates weren’t told but the incumbents knew,”

New

Smith said Friday.

The city issued a press release announcing the new locations on Tuesday morning after the Mirror contacted the city on Friday regarding a venue change.

In just over two weeks, Campbell Riverites will vote for a new mayor, councillors, Strathcona Regional District directors and school trustees.

With Community Living British Columbia (CLBC) under fire, Campbell River and District Association for Community Living (CRADACL) wants the public to know that it is not the same organization.

“I just wanted to clear up any misconceptions because I’m sure there are some,” said executive director for CRADACL Greg Hill. “It’s hard to differentiate.”

CRADACL is a nonprofit organization in Campbell River that helps Campbell Riverites with special needs through a variety of

local programs, including residential services and supported employment, to help them have the most independence possible.

CLBC is a provincial Crown agency which provides funding to CRADACL and a number of other community living organizations throughout the province.

CLBC has been under public scrutiny lately for funding cuts and its decision to move special needs people into private residences rather than keeping them in group homes, so Hill wants to ensure locals know they are not the same group.

“CLBC is only a

funder and we are a service provider,” said Hill.

Hill mentioned that CLBC only provides some of CRADACL’s funding; it also receives funding from the Ministry for Children and Family Development and the Vancouver Island Health Authority.

British Columbia Association for Community Living (BCACL) is another group that is separate from CRADACL. According to Hill, it is a provincial advocacy group that CRADACL belongs to and it advocates for the services CRADACL and other community

living groups provide, but it doesn’t actually provide them.

“T hat’s more or less the mother ship of every community living organization, which there probably is one in every community in B.C., and most of those towns and cities with an association for community living belong to BCACL,” said Hill.

“They’re not a service provider, again that’s the distinction, they’re just a provincial group that lobbies.”

CRADACL celebrates its 50th anniversary in this year, and is one of the first of the community living organizations in B.C.

According to Wark,

Campbell River’s was filled with photographs of many of the things that the judges were shown during their visit to the city at the end of July, and it was a big hit at the symposium, so much so that it won.

Wark. “Apparently it attracted a lot of attention.”

This year was the third year that Campbell River competed at the national level of Communities in Bloom.

The city received five blooms out of five for the past two years as well but was not the national winner until this year.

Wark said the city will now move on to compete at a higher level next year and she is excited by the opportunity.

“It’s setting the bar very high,” said Wark. “Once you win at nationals you get invited to compete at the international level.”

She stresses that the

competition is about much more than pretty flowers, and is judged on a whole slew of different categories.

In fact, judges Normand Rosa and Betty Lamont, evaluated the community based on tidiness; environmental action; heritage conservation; urban forestry; landscape, turf, and groundcovers; and floral displays, with an emphasis on community involvement in each of these areas.

“This whole thing isn’t just about flowers,” said Wark. “It’s about community involvement and everyone working together to make Campbell River a better place to live.”

Lab service centralization increasing wait times for diagnoses KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

KRISTEN DOUGLAS/THE MIRROR

Rich Hagensen and partner Joanne Banks sing ‘Rebels ’Til We Die’, a folk son the pair wrote, during the Occupy Campbell River movement Saturday in Spirit Square to protest corporate greed.

Campbell River ‘occupied’ by a few KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

About 22 people gathered in Spirit Square on Saturday to protest corporate greed.

Occupy Campbell River, an offshoot of similar movements in Vancouver and Victoria which spawned from the Occupy Wall Street protests in New York, infiltrated Tyee Plaza for the second consecutive Saturday.

The org anizers, Nicholas Lutes and Janice Brown, who took to Facebook to spread their message, plan to gather in Spirit Square every Saturday morning.

“I wanted to start this in my own community, to effect global change,” Lutes said.

“We live in a world w h e r e i n d iv i d u a l greed outweighs civic

unity, and it’s having a detrimental effect on humankind.”

Lutes said he wanted to show support for o t h e r m o ve m e n t s across North America that are demonstrating against financial greed and corruption.

In larger cities, such as Vancouver and Victoria, ‘tent cities’ have been resurrected and demonstrators have said they plan to stick it out until the new year.

In Campbell River, Lutes and other supporters carried signs that read ‘Democracy Not Corruption’, ‘People R-Not $ Signs’, and ‘Tax Reform Now to Fund Our Public Services.’

The morning began with a song and people huddled together in groups around Spirit Square. About an hour

later, Lutes and Brown realized they could best get their message out, and garner support, standing on the sidewalk along Shoppers Row. Fellow protesters Andrea Craddock and Penny Repstock soon joined Lutes and Brown on the side of the road and the four waved at passing motorists and proudly wore their signs around their necks.

Folk singers Rich Hagensen and Joanne Banks perfor med a song they wrote dubbed ‘Rebels ’Til We Die.’ Hagensen said Occupy Campbell River plans to be in Spirit Square each Saturday beginning at 10:30 a.m. but the group will avoid using the space for one Saturday in November and one in December when Spirit Square is

already booked.

“We don’t want to interfere with programming,” Hagensen said. “But we want to do it for a while to raise some consciousness to the issues. We want to be a part of the bigger movement that’s going on.”

Lutes said it’s about getting the gover nment to change its way of thinking.

“The gover nment system is failing, it’s a false democracy.

Democracy is supposed to be driven by the people and right now it’s the corporations that are driving demand,” Lutes said.

“Change has to start at the municipal level.

If we can get our local government to address the federal gover nment, maybe we can get something happening.”

The centralization of laboratory services that detect disease is compromising patients’ quality of care, doctors at Campbell River hospital say.

Medical staff at the hospital wrote a letter to the Vancouver Island Health Authority (VIHA) last Thursday criticizing VIHA for moving histopathology services to Royal Jubilee Hospital in Victoria.

“VIHA’s centralization of the histopathology has significantly increased the turn-around time for diagnosis,” says the letter, unanimously signed by all the doctors at Campbell River hospital. “Before centralization, some of these histology tests could be done in as little as two hours. More than 80 per cent were done in two days. Now, the average time needed before we can get results is more than five days and in some instances, more than two to three weeks.”

Currently, the surgical procedure to remove tissue from the body occurs in Campbell River, but then the specimen is sent to Victoria for examination.

The results are then sent back to Campbell River. That procedure has been followed for the past five years.

Doctors at Campbell River hospital say sending the specimen to Victoria is drastically increasing the wait times for diagnoses.

“This extra waiting time is hard for patients and significantly slows diagnostic evaluation,” the letter says. “The guidelines established by the Canadian and American Pathology Associations mandate specific time frames for biopsy analysis. Since the centralization of histopathology to Victoria, these guidelines are no longer respected.”

Dr. Gordon Hoag, VIHA’s medical director of laboratory medicine, says VIHA has been trying to make the process as timely as it can for patients while at the same time ensuring diagnoses are as complete and accurate as possible.

He also said there are various benchmarks for practice and timelines available and although the Canadian and American Pathology Associations are appropriate, there are guidelines from other colleges available for VIHA to abide by.

“We try to determine with our colleagues what the appropriate time for patients on the Island is and we try to make it a collaborative function,” Hoag says. “We’ve started to look at the steps in the process to ensure quality in every step. We’re trying to provide a greater depth of analysis to make it easier to identify times for each step in the process rather than overall turnaround time.”

Campbell River doctors say the long delays have not decreased the accuracy of the final diagnosis but the delays should not be tolerated.

Council approves transfer station KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Campbell River’s trash could end up in Cumberland’s dump by the end of this year.

The Strathcona Regional District has plans to install a temporary transfer station at the Campbell River landfill as early as this winter. City

council approved a major development permit at last week’s Tuesday council meeting for the construction of a transfer station.

The transfer station

is expected to be 988 square metres in size and 11 metres in height, according to Ian Buck, the city’s planner.

to how they use the site,” Buck said in a letter to council.

“The most significant operational difference is the public will dispose of waste on the floor of the new building and loaders will push it into trailers for transport.”

The Comox Strathcona Waste Management estimates that an average of 2.5 walking floor trailers of waste will be transferred each day from the Campbell River landfill to the Cumberland dump.

The transfer station is expected to be in place for about five to 10 years, until construction to extend the life of the Campbell River landfill is complete.

Currently, the dump is expected to reach capacity in about 12 months.

“The (Strathcona) Regional District is in discussion with the Ministry of Environment regarding the closure plan for the site,” Buck said. “The process is expected to include mechanical stabilization of the steep earthern wall along Argonaut Road which may create capacity to add five to seven years to the life of the current landfill.”

Buck added during those five to seven years, waste would not be transferred to Cumberland. After those years are up, Buck said the longterm plan is to have a larger, permanent transfer station as the temporary structure is not a long-term solution. The temporary transfer station, expected to be operational by wintertime, will involve construction of an asphalt laydown area, removal and reconstruction of the existing retaining structure and the construction of the temporary transfer building, said Buck who added the Regional District hopes to add one or two staff to the operation. The dump’s existing recycling area will undergo minor changes, such as paving and relocation.

Teachers may have to write report cards RENÉE ANDOR CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A move to force teachers to write report cards and reimburse pay is “vindictive,” says Campbell River District Teachers’ Association president Neil Thompson.

Last Wednesday, the B.C. Public School Employers Association (BCPSEA) requested that the Labour Relations Board (LRB) change report cards to an essential service, and that the B.C. Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) reimburse 15 per cent of monthly wages since teachers stopped doing administrative tasks as part of job action at the start of the school year.

“I think it sort

of disrespects the whole idea of essential service,” said Campbell River District Teachers’ Association president Neil Thompson.

“One would think that in framing it as an essential service that it’s important for this thing to happen or otherwise the public well being is threatened, and I’m not sure report cards fit into that category.

“My concern is that this is some sort of vindictive – that (BCPSEA is) upset that it’s lasted so long, they thought that we would be legislated back to work or whatever, and now they’re going back on some of the things they agreed to.”

According to Thompson, the LRB

approved the omission of administrative tasks in August, and BCPSEA agreed it was okay then. However, BCPSEA has now changed its tune.

“Since the commencement of school, the conditions regarding student performance and progress have been building as the information parents have received has been inconsistent, district by district, school by school, teacher by teacher,” said the application from BCPSEA. “BCPSEA’s position is that the preparation and distribution of complete report cards is now essential to prevent immediate and serious disruption to the provision of educational programs

and/or immediate and serious danger to the welfare of students.”

The LRB has not made a decision on the matter yet, but Thompson said it won’t look very good if the LRB goes back on a decision it already made.

“It sort of makes them look wishywashy if they were to suddenly go back on a ruling that they’ve already made,” he said.

“The ruling was clear – it’s based on past practice, it’s happened in the past when we’ve done job action – so I don’t think it would send a good message.”

Thompson is adamant that impact on students has been minimal, and teachers are keeping lines

of communication open with parents regarding student progress.

“We wanted to make it clear to parents that teachers were still there for inquiries as to student progress, and were in fact letting parents know if there was any concerns,” said Thompson.

As for the proposed 15 per cent reimbursement of teacher pay and benefits, Thompson said it’s uncalled for.

“We’re still doing our teaching in our classrooms, we’re looking after our students, we’re communicating with parents, we’re doing all the things that are important to our job and that we’re paid to do,” said Thompson.

Tyee Club tax exemption ‘distasteful’ 2X4.5 ZIGGY STEWART Ziggy 3 STEWART for MAYOR KRISTEN DOUGLAS

The Tyee Club will not be exempt from property taxes on land it was given by city for far less than its value.

“The Tyee Club asked for a permissive tax exemption for their property taxes on their recently acquired lot at Tyee Spit,” wrote Nancy Marshall of Friday Fish Company, in a letter to council. “I find this distasteful because I believe the Tyee Club has received more than enough from the city.”

The Tyee Club became the recipient of property, known as Lot T, at 3000 Spit Road between Silver King Lodge and Corilair, in the summer of 2010 after the city

sent out a request for expressions of interest.

Dave Morris, the city’s manager of facilities and supplies, said council made the decision to lease the property to the Tyee Club, one of the respondents, for a one-year period for just $1. The previous lessee paid a $13,400 lease fee and $3,000 in municipal taxes based on commercial use.

“Traditionally the Tyee Club kept boats off that site along the foreshore because it had a previous agreement with the former lessee, Ted Leroy Trucking, which went into receivership,” Morris said.

He said the Tyee Club needed Lot T in order to acquire

“I think it pertinent to review what the Tyee Club is currently being ‘gifted’ or ‘granted’ and whether these benefits are truly for the good of, and accessible by, all the citizens of Campbell River and area,” said Farrell in a letter to council. Farrell said he supports the Tyee Club but not its request for a tax exemption.

“As one who put in a proposal for Lot T, which would have generated revenue in the form of leases and taxes for the people of Campbell River, and would have added further enhanced Dick Murphy Park, I find my curiosity provoked,” Farrell said.

Brenda Matas, who also wrote to council, said visiting aircraft used to use the docks off Lot T, but are now

no longer available with the Tyee Club there.

“By granting the Tyee Club the lease on the only docks that were available for itinerant aircraft, the City of Campbell River has shut out tourism for small plane operators,” Matas wrote.

Morris said the Tyee Club did mention in its expression of interest for Lot T, that it had a long-term view of accommodating visiting aircraft.

However, Morris said the Tyee Club does not have a long-term lease agreement – the lease is up in March 2012.

“What happens long-term, we don’t know because we never got into a longterm agreement,” Morris said. “I expect the Tyee Club would be interested in maintaining its presence there but that request would be subject to council’s approval.”

Morris said council is also still waiting for an updated Tyee Spit

Lease Area plan which details all the sites available for lease.

Matas said in the meantime the city is losing out on potential revenue. She said the BC Floatplane Association, with a membership of over 300, was looking for a place to hold its annual weekend meeting in July.

“Typically there are 100 planes that attend and I am familiar with their positive economic impact on host communities,” Matas said. “Since there is no longer a place for aircraft to dock, Campbell River had to be ruled out as a possibility.”

Coun. Andy Adams made a motion at last Tuesday’s council meeting to remove the Tyee Club from the list of non-profits that will receive a permissive tax exemption. All councillors voted in favour of the motion with the exception of Coun. Roy Grant who declared a conflict of interest and removed himself from the table.

Our View

End to wasteful program The looming end of the federal long gun registry is good news for taxpayers.

It shows that the federal government is willing to get rid of programs that We say: No place serve little to no purpose, and waste for a registry for tax dollars in the process. While the Conservatives have long had this prorifles used only gram in their sights, let’s hope there for sport are more to follow.

The gun registry was, from the very beginning, a highly political move. The Liberals, under Justice Minister Allan Rock, wanted to show city voters that they would be tough on gun owners. It was all

about cementing urban voting blocs, and for the most part, it worked.

The Liberals’ crumbling power base remains at its strongest in big city downtowns, particularly Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver. However, one reason that Liberal support has dramatically fallen off in other areas is the gun registry, which has been a waste of almost $2 billion, and has done almost nothing to stop crime.

Police access the database frequently, but all it does it alert them to the possibility that there may be guns in a specific home. It has been used to arrest legitimate gun owners whose only offence has been improper storage. Yet the registry does nothing to stop gun vio-

lence – most of which is committed with unregistered handguns smuggled into Canada from the U.S. Members of the public, even those who have never handled a gun, can recognize a waste of tax dollars when they see it – particularly when the auditor-general has laid it bare on more than one occasion.

There is definitely a place for a registry for handguns, as has been in place in Canada since the 1930s.

This is a key reason why gun violence here is minimal, as compared to the U.S. But there is no place for a registry of rifles and shotguns that are used for sport, and rarely used in crimes.

Good point: Hospital With our municipal election pending it is important to focus on the important task of choosing the leaders of our community.

We sincerely hope everyone possible will exercise their right and privilege of voting Nov. 19.

Our hospital is of huge importance. Six years ago we came very close to losing it. Many people did not think that would happen but it came very close. Our new and inexperienced council was blindsided unexpectedly at one regional hospital board meeting by other very experienced politicians.

As a result of that meeting we were to have one regional hospital which was to be built a good distance from Campbell River and the other communities of the North Island. Our hospital was to be reduced from a fully functioning acute care hospital to little more than a clinic.

It took members of Citizens for Quality Health Care and our wonderful, dedicated Doctors making presentations to all the councils of the North Island and regional hospital board, attending many meetings, collecting a petition with over 19,000 signatures, (presented in the Legislature on Nov. 7, 2007), holding town hall meetings, writing letters to VIHA, the government and the media, doing a tremendous amount of work researching and communicating with the public, a couple more years and the newly-educated politicians to have that motion rescinded and another motion whipped in to get it turned around to go back to the two-hospital model to meet the needs of patients of all Continued on A9

Zalm joins the BC Hydro conspiracy club

Tom Fletcher B.C. Views

The smart meter installation van arrived on my street last week, as BC Hydro’s smart grid project heads toward the halfway mark.

This system will not only detect outages, electricity loss and theft, it enables a voluntary time-of-use system where users can get a discount by shifting consumption to low-peak times.

You could even set up wind or solar generation that the meter would record and subtract from your bill.

But apparently no one wants to talk about that. Black Press papers continue to run letters with exaggerated or false claims that stoke baseless fear of radio waves.

Where is this coming from?

I’m g rateful to the anonymous smart-meter foe who started sending me updates from “Citizens for Safe Technology,” a loose collection of U.S. and Canadian activists that claims to include doctors, lawyers and other professionals.

Not much is professional about the Canadian content on their website.

A video starts with a juvenile union parody showing executives plotting to sell BC Hydro to General Electric.

Then it moves to an apparently serious interview with Bill Vander Zalm, who expands on his earlier conspiracy theory about the harmonized sales tax being part of a European Union plot for world domination.

Vander Zalm asserts that smart

meters and appliances create such a powerful surveillance network, “they’ll even know what you’re cooking.”

There are those who claim smart meters can tell what channel your TV is on, but this is the first I’ve heard about them detecting whether you’re having eggs or oatmeal for breakfast.

And who might “they” be?

“The big picture is of course that we’re moving to globalization,” Vander Zalm intones. “Eventually we’ll be governed out of Brussels, Belgium or someplace like that. And this all ties into that. They can monitor what’s happening anywhere in the world. It’s Big Brother. We’ll be

totally controlled.”

He stops just short of what I’ll call the Full Tinfoil, a belief that these radio waves control minds directly.

Wildlife artist Robert Bateman also makes an ass of himself in a brief video, where he describes hiring someone to come in and detect “hot” wiring in his Saltspring Island mansion. (A surprising number of self-appointed smart meter experts sell measuring and “shielding” services.)

A reader sent me a local newspaper commentary by Nelson-Creston MLA Michelle Mungall, basically a vague summary of NDP talking points about smart meters being too Continued on A9

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 2011 | CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR |

FOLLOW US ON...

Hospital: One-hospital model still has proponents Continued from A8 the North Island.

Brenda Leigh, of Area D, a very experienced director was instrumental in this turnaround by making those two motions which were quickly passed by all the North Island Regional Hospital Directors.

This is a very critical time for our hospital.

If we are not careful who we choose for Council we could lose all the work, effort & continuity we have all put into achieving what we worked so hard for thus far to have a new fully functioning acute care hospital.

There are some

influential people in the Comox Valley who are attempting to go back to revisit the one hospital model away from Campbell River.

People who advocate a take over of our council with all new people may not realize what could transpire if that actually happened.

Citizens for Quality Health Care (of which we are members) is also issuing a press release urging the politicians to pay attention to the real problems and the voters to reject the calls to re-open this divisive and unproductive debate to revisit one regional hospital.

Imagine then, los-

ing our hospital to the detriment of all the patients of the North Island.

Also consider the financial impact to our economy. All staff would be gone, the doctors would be gone, the service industries to the hospital would be gone. Few people would want to retire here. Campbell River would shrink considerably.

Claire Moglove has been right on top of the hospital issue and continues to deal with it as the priority it is.

Brenda Leigh (Area D) has been a real champion, extremely valuable and well versed

on the hospitals issue all along as well.

A couple of candidates did not support the two-hospital model, some don’t have it on their radar or encompassed in their campaign material but incumbents Roy Grant, Andy Adams and Mary Storry do. They have always strongly supported the two-hospital model.

Three new candidates have been educating themselves as much as possible on everything to do with the past sixyear struggle for our hospital: Larry Samson, Mark Sullivan and Patricia Gagnon.

We all must remain

united and vigilent and not blindly believe VIHA and the government as there have been many times they completely lost the trust of the public with their flipflops and their past continual efforts to make Campbell River accept far less than we currently have with our hospital.

We are not going to pay taxes to have our hospital downsized or our services reduced.

We need leaders to represent US so that our fully functioning acute care hospital and services don’t go off the rails again.

Fletcher: A lot of buzz about meter signals council that chose a different model, a “driveby” meter. They broadcast readings every 15 seconds and still need meter readers, who no longer have to get out of their trucks.

BC Hydro’s meters s i g n a l o n ly t h re e or four times a day, but one of the oftenrepeated false claims

about them is that they secretly transmit much more often with some sort of damaging energy pulses. And yet these granola-loving West Kootenay folks cheerfully endure a 24/7 bombardment of what are essentially brief cell phone signals.

Wheelchair won’t hold me back I feel I must defend myself against your potentially negative comments.

The recent column by Alistair Taylor regarding council candidates not attending/attending council meetings left me wondering if 1. you thought about me and the fact that I use a wheelchair as my main mobility and 2. if you had called me to ask if I watch coun-

cil meetings on SHAW. my answer would have been yes I do.

Using a wheelchair is not an excuse for not being at council meetings in person, however, technology certainly makes it convenient for those with lessened mobility to watch it from the comfort of their homes.

I can assure you, Mr. Taylor, that if elected to council I will be in

attendance – there is a wheelchair accessible taxi in Campbell River through 287-TAXI and they would be most helpful in getting me to council (or any other meetings associated with being a city councillor) during inclement weather.

And I will also pay for the taxi out of my Council salary - never will I burden a taxpayer with my trans-

portation needs.

Mr. Taylor, you could very well have given your readership a negative impression of me (and others) by stating you did not see many of the candidates attending in person – they can speak for themselves. In my case, I keep informed.

Always have, always will. As a matter of fact, I suggest you take a survey of every

councillor – past and present – who attended regularly council meetings and see what you come up with. Or better still, take a survey of those who watch council on TV. It is often that which we do not see that we judge upon. Smarten up, eh? Think inclusion – not exclusion.

Two of us, candidate Gagnon and myself, have been there and candidate Price is currently, I believe, a band councillor.

I can’t speak for Ms. Gagnon but I don’t attend because with ten years experience on another council I know that once the term is over the issues have

been put to bed and not debated again. So why observe dead issues.

Of course those who haven’t experienced the political cut and thrust should perhaps attend, if only to see what they are getting into, if elected.

I do review the agenda from time to time and again if needed watch

on TV. Of course, other issues such as the 3.5 acre site continue, but they are reviewed with current information.

I am saddened that you believe that candidates can’t make changes. I have seen some elected officials make great strides in making positive changes that galvan-

ise a city. I have also seen city councils fail because the leader had no vision, acted as a despot or was just using the position as a stepping stone.

In closing, I trust that you accept that there is another aspect to the candidate makeup and that is experience.

Land-based fish farms have their limitations as well Doug Millar and I agree on the importance of aquaculture to provide a healthy and efficient protein to a world population soon reaching seven billion (“Fish farms�). That is exactly why I began my career in salmon farming 20 years ago.

And while I also agree with Mr. Millar that land-based (aka “closed containment�)

aquaculture farms are one method to grow seafood, I strongly disagree that this technology must replace ocean-based far ms in order to protect

wild fish. B.C. salmon farmers have a very good understanding of land-based salmon farms because we grow all our fish in them for one third of their life.

We acknowledge that there are benefits to this type of system not realized in ocean-based far ms, but we also understand the limitations as well. It’s not just about cost – other questions need to be answered as well and include; fish welfare, product quality, scale and location of production, and energy consumption (oceanbased system use tidal power whereas landbased farms require other energies to move water).

While B.C. salmon

far ming companies continue to invest in the latest aquaculture technologies including land-based recirculating aquaculture systems, we remain curious to see how this technology can be further integrated into our business.

In the meantime, we will ensure that our land-based and oceanbased operations are managed responsibly to ensure we look after our business, our fish and the environment.

Managing Your Money Fixed or variable - your mortgage choices and costs You’re looking for the best mortgage for your situation and the choices available to you can be a cause for both confusion and potentially higher costs over time. There are basically two types of mortgages: variable rate and ¿xed rate, with variable rate mortgages typically offering a lower interest rate, at least initially.

Either type of mortgage can be open or closed. An open mortgage can be paid off or you may make additional payments at any time without penalty. A closed mortgage has reduced repayment Àexibility but comes with a lower interest rate than an open mortgage.

With interest rates low, the cheapest mortgage option would seem to be a closed variable rate mortgage – at least on the surface, but let’s look deeper.

• A ¿xed rate mortgage provides the security of a locked-in interest rate for the term you choose – so if peace of mind is important to you, if you want a stable mortgage payment over the term, if you’re managing on a tight budget, or if you have a

large mortgage and won’t be able to make additional monthly or lump sum payments, this choice can make sense for you.

On the other hand, when your mortgage comes up for renewal, you will likely have to select a new mortgage at whatever rates are available at that time.

• The interest rate of a variable rate mortgage is linked to the prime rate so it can Àuctuate either up or down sometimes very quickly based on the Bank of Canada’s overnight rate – and that will de¿nitely have an impact on your total interest cost and perhaps your monthly payment.

Even if your monthly payment remains the same, when interest rates rise, the amount applied to the principal will be reduced. Will interest rates rise? Probably

– they are currently at historic lows, so there appears to be nowhere to go but up.

One mortgage option that’s gaining traction is the blended rate mortgage, which offers a combination of both ¿xed and variable rate ¿nancing and blends the bene¿ts and risks of each.

The best choice for you depends on your personal ¿nancial objectives, your overall ¿nancial plan and what some experts term your insomnia factor. You can get the advice you need from your professional advisor.

Abram for Area C Jim Abram loves what he does.

And that’s the driving force behind his decision to run for reelection as regional director for Area C. “I love the area that I represent. I love doing things for others. And I love helping people accomplish their goals and address their needs,” said Abram.

“We live in one of the most beautiful places on earth. It’s easy to forget this in the midst of our daily grind, but future generations depend on us to take care of this place we call home.”

Abram said he is a representative; not a politician.

“I strongly believe in local control for local people and the involvement of the local community in decision making,” said Abram.

Abram was instrumental in developing a shoreline zoning process to further involve the community in decisions on land use processes, which was extended to all of Area C, with numerous community processes to implement and update these plans for specific geographic areas over the years since he was first elected.

According to Abram, the greatest challenge as a community now is to decide which direction to take.

“We are being faced with some of the toughest issues that communities have ever faced and, as we have in the

past, we must rise to the challenge and pave our own way into the future,” said Abram.

“In Area C, we face, as do all other areas in B.C., demographic changes beyond our control. Our population is aging, and we must adapt, while considering the younger population that is slowly coming into the system. We need to provide services, employment, housing, and a secure local food supply.”

Abram said Area C needs to continue to focus on continuing to diversify of its economy.

“During the time that I have been director, we have diversified the economy of Area C faster than other areas, softening the impact of this downtur n,” said Abram. “We have embraced other industries such as tourism, woodlots, aquaculture, and the arts. We have moved from traditional industrial forestry to family-run businesses and value-added products. We not only catch and grow fish and shellfish, but we process them in a valueadded manner.

“We have had mem-

bers of our community create niche employment as the needs have arisen.”

Abram that while he plans to continue developing these industries, he also said increasing costs such as ferry fares and housing are on his priority list.

“I have been constantly fighting for reductions in ferry fares for residents and businesses, and strategizing about and planning how we can change our housing situation,” said Abram.

Abram worked to include green building techniques while providing housing for seniors and young families in Quathiaski Cove into the Official Community Plan.

He said he will continue to work hard to represent the area.

“Our area has always been at the forefront of innovation,” said Abram.

“I will work my hardest, using the contacts and connections I’ve built in all levels of gover nment and media over my years as regional director, to make sure that we continue in this tradition.”

DEATHS

Thelma F. Peterson

July 7, 1920 - Oct. 30, 2011

Passed away in Campbell River. Survived by beloved son Robert (Jut) Peterson, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Thanks to doctors and nurses, and Home Care Support.

In loving memory of FLORENCE GREAVES (nee McCauley) March 29, 1926 - September 27, 2011 Mom was born in Scotch Bush in the County of Renfrew, Ontario; one of 11 children.

Her mother died in child birth when she was nine at which time she quit school to stay home and mother the younger children and assist her father who drilled water wells.

After her father’s passing when she was 14 she continued to raise her family. At 21 she met and married Joseph Greaves and farmed the family homestead in Hankford; during this time they birthed 6 children. Joe went north in Ontario and began work in the Kerr Addison Gold Mines and moved the family to Cheminis, Ontario where they had two more children and lost two during pregnancy. Joe developed a lung condition and was forced to quit working underground so went west in 1965 to B.C. In September of 1965 mom packed up the family and we took the train to Terrace, B.C. In December dad was killed in a hunting accident leaving mom with 7 children at home, the oldest being 16. For the ďŹ rst time in her life mom had to work outside the home to support us.

She worked hard as a short order cook, housekeeper and later in a ďŹ sh cannery in Prince Rupert, B.C. Life was not easy for mom but she always worked hard sometimes two jobs at a time.

She still found time to go ďŹ shing, hunting, swimming, and tobogganing with us. We always had a large garden and laundry was done on a scrub board, water was from a hand dug well, and we always had wonderful homemade bread. Over the years mom fostered a number of children and there was always a seat at the table for which ever friend we might have dragged home. In 1970 we moved to Vancouver Island; after a couple years mom moved back to Terrace taking the 4 youngest children. Mom enjoyed the many years she volunteered cooking at the Legion and at the seniors center ‘The Happy Gangâ€?.

After an injury in the cannery she was unable to work again but did what she could. She was always ready to help her children out when needed. After retirement she divided her years between Terrace and Vancouver Island where ďŹ ve of her children lived with their families. About two years ago she moved to Weyburn, Saskatchewan to be with another son and daughter. Not in good health, with kidney failure and diabetes, she eventually moved into Tatagwa View Long Term Care in November 2010 where she was well taken care of by the staff.

At 4:30 a.m. Tuesday, September 27th she lost her struggle and surrendered to the gentle hands of the Lord with family at her bedside.

Florence was predeceased by her husband Joseph and two sons Shannon and Joseph.

Left to mourn are her three daughters, Emily (Jim) Oliver of Terrace, B.C., Lucill Gainer of Weyburn, Saskatchewan, Marie Greaves (Jordy) of Campbell River, B.C., and three sons, Charles (Paula) Greaves of Black Creek. B.C., Stephen (Carol) Greaves of Weyburn Saskatchewan and Peter (Pam) Greaves of Cumberland, B.C. along with 17 grandchildren and 28 great grandchildren.

A celebration of her life will be held on Sunday November the sixth, from 2pm-5pm at the Salvation Army Church, 291 McLean St. Campbell River. Come and join the family in remembering this special lady.

The Healing Pathway ministry of the Campbell River United Church is offering a Phase I workshop in healing touch this coming weekend from Friday evening through Sunday afternoon.

This is an introductory workshop in the Christian ministry of healing touch based on the traditions of the church and the scriptural teaching of the healing presence of God. Participants will experience their ability to be a healing presence.

Topics covered will include the basic concepts of Christian centered healing and their traditional, scriptural and spiritual sources.

There will be instruction, demonstrations and practice in the laying on of hands in spe-

cific healing sequences.

Participants will also experience centering through prayer and meditation, and learn about self care.

The workshop leader is Gale Glover, an ordained minister of the United Church with a previous background in nursing. She is a certified instructor for the Naramata Centre Healing Pathway curriculum. Gale and others formed a Healing Pathway group in her congregation to offer pastoral care and healing to people in the church and community.

Gale also offers healing touch as a volunteer in the chemotherapy and medical day care units of Campbell River General Hospital.

This workshop will support a congregation who wishes to develop

a healing ministry or individuals who are interested in exploring and developing the gift and practice of healing in Christian community.

The workshop fee is $125, or $75 for those who have taken the workshop before and need a refresher.

For more information or to register contact Wayne Hughes, the minister at Campbell River United Church, at 286-0431 or 203-7258.

C a m p b e l l R ive r United Church is on the corner of Pinecrest and South Birch, just down the hill from Strathcona Gardens. Regular Sunday worship and Sunday School are held weekly at 10 am.

For more information, phone the church office at 286-0431.

The British Columbia Ferry Commission, the independent regulator of BC Ferries, has been mandated by the provincial government to review the Coastal Ferry Act and to make recommendations on potential changes to the Act which would better enable the commissioner to balance the financial sustainability of the ferry operator and the interest of ferry users. The commissioner has been conducting public consultation meetings in coastal communities served by BC Ferries and is inviting additional input on a number of key issues described in a series of discussion papers.

These issues will be considered by the commissioner during his review of the Act and deal with interests of ferry users, financial sustainability objectives, the balance between the two, price cap regulation and cross-subsidization. Visit www.bcferrycommission. com/reports-press/whats-new/coastal-ferryact-review/ for copies of these discussion papers.

Comments on these papers or any other issue relevant to the Coastal Ferry Act review can be e-mailed to info@bcferrycommission.com or mailed to BC Ferry Commission, RPO Hillside, Box 35119, Victoria BC, V8T 5G2. For further information on the review, please visit www.bcferrycommission. com. Deadline for comments or submissions is December 5, 2011.

Wolves put in AAA effort T

imberline Senior G i rl s Vo l l e y b a l l Wolves can expect to move up the provincial rankings after losing in the final to third ranked Lambrick Park of Victoria on the weekend.

Timberline hosted eight teams in a tournament at the school Friday and Saturday.

The field featured some of the top ranked teams in B.C. The Wolves placed second, losing in the final to Lambrick Park who are ranked third in B.C. and went through the tournament without losing a set. Timberline was ranked eighth in AAA last week, but should move up after this performance.

On day one, Timberline lost two matches in pool play.

Both matches were against higher ranked teams and both went to three games.

The first was against Highland. They lost the first set 16-25, then rebounded to win the second 25-20 but dropped the third set 12-15. Highland is a big team with some great hitters and we were struggling with our consistency.

Against Hugh McRoberts of Richmond, we played great and won the first set 25-14.

In the second set we were leading 22-17 but allowed them back in and they beat us 24-26. It was too hard to rebound from that disappointment and we lost the 3rd set. After that match, I discovered that the girls were allowing themselves to think negatively and desperately which was causing a number of mental errors.

“Once we straightened that out and worked on staying in the moment, and keeping thoughts positive we were able to move forward,” Timberline coach Terry Philp said. “After that, we went six straight sets without a loss.

This was a break through for us as we’ve had trouble stringing together consecutive quality games.”

Bantams’ rally falls short The No 1 Auto Body Bantam A Tyees staged a furious comeback but it wasn’t enough as they lost their regular season opener 6-4 to the Juan de Fuca Grizzlies.

The game was played Saturday after noon at Rod Brind’Amour Arena.

Trailing 3-0 early in the second period the Tyees rallied on a pair of goals by captain Gavin Rauser and power-play markers by Cole Rennie and Kurtis Scriba to pull even 4-4 heading into the third.

C a m p b e l l R ive r missed several glorious chances to take the lead before Juan de Fuca took advantage of a sloppy line change and scored the eventual game-winner with just over five minutes remaining.

They added an emptynetter in the final min-

Cross-country runner qualifies for B.C.’s

Juan de Fuca netminder watches a shot deflect over the net during a Bantam A match against the Tyees Saturday at Rod Brind’Amour Arena.

The 2011 Vancouver Island Zone Cross Country Championships for Grades 8 to 12 were held in Beaver Lake Park, Victoria on Wednesday, October 26.

Campbell River was represented by two runners from Phoenix, four from Timberline, 10 athletes from Campbell River Christian School and 14 from Carihi.

Runners race as individuals and, if there are five or more from one school, they also compete as a team.

There is one 4.5 km race for all the girls and one 6.7 km race for all the boys. The first 20 runners across the finish line in each race qualify for the BC High School Cross Country Championships on Nov. 5 in Kelowna.

Haven Ullstrom, a Grade 10 student from Timberline Secondary, accomplished his goal of being in the top 20 with his 17th place finish in an extremely competitive field of 195 runners.

back in the game and unfortunately couldn’t pull it out.”

The Tyees out-shot the Grizzlies 33-15.

Hanna feels the team is close to breaking out of a frustrating slump that includes three losses at a recent tournament in Kelowna.

“We (the coaches) see a lot of positive signs, absolutely,” he said, “They are a hard working bunch of kids, they all get along, and have

excellent support from their parents.

“We’ve had a tough couple of weeks but I’m confident we can get things back on track.”

The Tyees get a chance to even their league record at 1 and 1 when they play host to the Nanaimo Clippers this weekend.

The opening face-off is set for 1:45 p.m. Saturday afternoon at Rod Brind’Amour Arena.

Continued from A29 Maurer. Tasia Herbert, our setter, did a great job of maximizing the Timberline hitter’s success.

Rachael Hanna hit hard and served tough to force errors from Belmont. This advanced Timberline to the semi-final. They were happy at this point as they knew they were now top four in the tournament which is good for them because we were the #6 seed. In the semi-final Timberline faced Highland, again. They had beaten them twice before this and are a great team. Timberline came out on fire and beat them convincingly 25-19; 25-12.

Vanessa Schulz, a grade 11 power hitter, lead the team in kills. She’s very small, but played like she was a giant, powering through the Highland blockers, Philp said. Meghan Oakley and Kyla Arnink, back row defensive specialists, came up with some big digs for the Wolves.

“My girls were so happy to be in the final,” Philp said. “It was unexpected and exciting. Going into the final we knew we were up against a power house team. The first set was very one-sided and they beat us 17-25. In the second set, our nerves were settled and we battled the entire game. It was back and forth with long rallies. At one point, we tied the game 22 all and they called a time-out to try and break our momentum. Unfortunately, it worked and we missed our next serve. They went on to beat us 23-25.

“I was very proud of the girls. They work very hard and are a coachable group. We are steadily improving and looking forward to play-offs.”

In the tournament, Carihi placed fourth in their pool, losing to Lambrick Park -25; -25, Belmont 25-18; 17-25; 12-15, and Ballenas 10-25;11-25. In the play-off round, Carihi played Highland, losing in straight sets 14-25; 22-25. Then faced Belmont again, and lost 25-17; 16-25; 9-15. In their final match of the tournament, Carihi defeated Claremont 28-26; 25-23 finishing in seventh place.
