Minister gets a head start on Community Living Month Kristen Douglas
Campbell RiveR miRRoR
Community Living Month is still a few days away but Liberal MLA Don McRae is ahead of the game. For the month of October the B.C. Minister of Social Development and Social Innovation will be touring Community Living BC Facilities, which offer support and services to adults with disabilities. On Tuesday afternoon McRae stopped by Palmer Place, a home shared by the Association for Community Living and Campbell River and North Island Transition Society clients, to tour the grounds and meet with Community Living staff and residents. “It’s the beginning of Community Living month across B.C., it’s in October but it’s a big province so we started early,” said Comox Valley MLA McRae. “We’re talking to staff and residents and we want to hear about success stories as well as any challenges individuals are facing.” McRae said while C om mu n it y L iv i ng works hard to ensure services are available for each individual the agency works with, it has been challenging trying to find work for those who are willing and able. “We’re working with employers, CLBC (Community Living BC), and service providers to see if there are ways to assist persons with disabilities into the work place – they’re great employees,” McRae said. Prior to his visit to Palmer Place, McRae had the chance to stop by Campbell River’s Colorado Home where he said two young men, who are part of a supportive care
society, are living in a home, regularly walk to the corner store, and both hold down jobs. It’s success stories like that which Community Living month celebrates. October is set aside by Community Living BC to raise awareness of people with disabilities, said Michelle Albrecht, a program coordinator at Palmer Place. To celebrate, the Campbell River and District Association for Com-
munity Living is holding an event October 4 from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. in Spirit Square with refreshments and live music by the band Inclusion, which includes clients of the association. Thirty of the association’s clients live at Palmer Place, which opened on Nikola Road off of Willis Road last summer. Albrecht said the partnership at Palmer Place that the association has with the Transition
Society has been very successful. “The tenants here would say it has made a huge difference in their lives, living in a supportive environment and a place that’s affordable,” Albrecht said. “It was designed to be a community and I think we’ve achieved that. When you come here and see the people gathered in this building (the central activity room), it’s amazing.”

“That’s just amazing!” said fundraiser extraordinaire Carol Chapman, who always volunteers to do the head shaves and so much more. Joining her on stage at Campbell River Common to cut hair and shave heads – in honour of cancer patients who lose their hair while undergoing treatment – was Ron Fortin of Ron’s Barber Shop. He’s also a terrific supporter of Tour de Rock and this year he presented the riders with a cheque for $5,400 raised through his clients. Several others presented big cheques too, but the biggest came from the organizers of Campbell River’s annual Cops for Cancer Golf Tournament whose players raised an incredible $34,150 this year. “Riding into Campbell River today was special – it still feels like home,” said Tour rider Marc Lavergne who was stationed at the Campbell River RCMP detachment from 1998 to 2003. It was also a special, yet sad, day for 66-yearold Ken McDougall. He didn’t cut his hair for three years and it all came off with Fortin’s shears in honour of a great friend. “This is for my friend, Clarence Kelly of Woss. He’s dying of cancer and he could go in the next month,” said McDougall. Since 1998, the Tour has raised close to $18 million for the Canadian Cancer Society, which uses the money to fund paediatric cancer research and programs that help children with cancer and their families.

St. Ann’s’ scarlet oaks – have all been carefully selected to ensure they are best suited to the local climate, according to Hartley. Other than the trees, above-ground improvements also include boulevards planted with shrubs in between the trees, wider sidewalks, benches, and black streetlights similar to the ones along the revamped section of Highway 19A in Willow Point. Hartley said overall, the $4.05 million project is moving along smoothly
Kristen Douglas Campbell RiveR miRRoR
As St. Ann’s Road reopens to traffic today, the city is preparing to shift detours. As of Monday, Alder Street will be closed between St. Ann’s and 10th Avenue until the end of the year. To get around the construction, traffic will be detoured down St. Ann’s, onto Shoppers Row and around to 10th Avenue. During the closure, there will be no parking along the closed off portion of Alder, however, there will still be front door access to all businesses in the affected area. While St. Ann’s is open to traffic, Jason Hartley, the city’s capital works manager, said motorists should be aware there will still be traffic controls in place. “Landscaping will be continuing along St. Ann’s so although St. Ann’s is opening, it’s still an active construction zone, so it’s still 30 kilometres an hour,” Hartley said. “Motorists, when on

place on St. Ann’s there are still above-ground improvements to put in place. Two rows of scarlet oak trees will be planted along the north side of St. Ann’s while on the south side, a single row

School district may try to offload Evergreen School Kristen Douglas
Campbell RiveR miRRoR
School District 72 is considering selling off the former Evergreen elementary school building. While the 53-year-old building at the corner of Petersen and Evergreen is not officially for sale, the district is trying to gauge the level of interest in the facility. “School District No. 72 is seeking expressions of interest for the procurement of a 1960 vintage elementary school in order to generate revenue for the district,” reads a report from the school district. “The school district is looking for respondents who may be interested in procuring or leasing this property as an educational, recreational or social facility, or dependent on rezoning requirements, for residential development.” The school, which served the Petersen and Willis Road area until it was closed and replaced with Ripple Rock school, sits on roughly six acres of property and is 1,330 square metres. It has six classrooms, a library, a gym and a computer room.
and on time. He said the re-opening of St. Ann’s met its targeted re-opening of late September or early October because of the work of the contractor, Uplands Excavating. “By increasing their efficiencies the crews have managed to, in spite of recent inclement weather, got themselves a few days ahead of schedule,” Hartley said. “That’s 100 per cent their doing, using best practises and working on Saturdays – picking up an extra day a week.”
Evergreen elementary closed in 2005 but reopened to students when École Mer-et-montagne relocated to the former Evergreen school building. The French school operated out of the building until 2011 when it moved into its own, brand-new building on Rockland Road. Since then the Evergreen building has sat mostly vacant aside from periodic day rentals. The de ad line for
expressions of interest must be submitted to the
school district no later than Oct. 16 at 2 p.m.

Some people will have obvious symptoms of a concussion, such as passing out or forgetting what happened right before the injury. Others will only experience brief gaps in memory or disorientation. Minor concussions can cause serious problems. Repeated concussions or a severe concussion may lead to long-lasting problems with movement, learning or speech. Because of the small chance of permanent brain problems, it is important to get the right diagnosis and treatment. We can act on your behalf to get you the best medical specialist possible.

FRIDAY, SepTembeR SEPTEMBER 27, 27, 2013 2013 || Campbell CAMPBELL RiveR RIVER miRRoR MIRROR || 77 FRiDaY,
Containers could provide shelter for city’s homeless Paul Rudan Campbell RiveR miRRoR
When there’s nowhere else to go, the sheltered wheelchair ramp at the Campbell River Courthouse is a “choice” spot to spend the night. And if that’s already taken, the homeless might opt for the caves just below the museum, the woods of Nunns Creek Park or behind Discovery Harbour Mall – anywhere to keep dry and out of the wind. That’s the living reality for a small group of people who can’t go the Salvation Army’s Evergreen Shelter because they’re impaired and the downtown extreme weather shelter isn’t open. With the rainy season nearing and the nights becoming colder, the time is now to provide proper shelter for those who “fall between the cracks.” “We don’t have much time,” says Paul Mason. Mason is a program supervisor at Campbell River Family Services Society and a former volunteer on the city’s Homel e ss ne ss Task Force. He’s also been a long-time advocate of creating low-barrier shelters in the city, particularly for men. “We have Palmer Place and Rose Harbour for single women and children, but there’s very, very little for men,” he says. He’s hopi ng t hat changes soon and one of the temporary solutions being looked at is a secure shelter built from a steel shipping container. It’s still just an option which may seem out of line given the city’s recent harping about shipping containers on residential and commercial properties, however, they’re making a difference for the homeless in other cities. Calgary used such portable shelters recently to house flood victims and Shadow Lines Transportation Group of Langley is building them to order for the Lower Mainland. The company is converting 40-foot shipping containers into temporary homeless shelters that feature eight rooms that sleep two, a furnace, and a wheel-accessible washroom with hot and cold water. The shelter is also on wheels and can be hauled away by truck. For Family Services, the important aspect is the shelter is low-barrier. In other words, people
who are homeless and impaired – which isnt uncommon – have a safe place to stay the night. “What we’re offering is an alternative,” says Camille Lagueux, executive director at Family Services. “You’re primary need is shelter and once you have that, you can start dealing with other issues.” Family Services has the money to create a temporary shelter. It recently received $310,000 for the shelter and to create long-term housing solutions for those who are homeless. The money came from the Vancouver Island Health Authority more than two years ago, but had been sitting in trust with local government until an adequate solution and organization could be found. Earlier this month, the city chose Family Services because, as Mayor Walter Jakeway says, it’s a “one-stop shop” that can co-ordinate with other services in the city. The immediate need is the temporary shelter and Family Services is working closely with council and other groups to make sure they get it right. “We’re looking for a downtown location because that’s where the people are,” says Mason. “We want this to be something that everyone can take pride in.” The longer-term goal for Family Services is to create second-stage housing for men who are coming out of drug and alcohol treatment programs. “At the end of 28 days, where do they go?” asks Mason. “When you’re living on welfare, you get $375 a month for shelter. I challenge you to find secure shelter in this city
for that much.” According to Family Services, there are 35-40 people in the city who have no home and no where to go. The rain is expected to start today and Mason is hopeful a decision can soon be reached to provide a temporary shelter. “It’s the humane thing to do – there needs to be a safety net,” he says.

Our View
Does a cemetery have to be so lifeless? There’s something unpalatable about the city telling families the only thing they can decorate their loved ones’ graves with is fresh flowers. In recent years our society has made strides towards de-sanitizing death and We say: Can’t dying, making it something that we can talk about and accept at a certain level. we allow for the jogging craze began 30-40 some colour and When years or so ago, graveyards became a quiet place to at least include in your individuality? route. People were also encouraged to visit cemeteries to meditate and reflect not just on departed family members. The cliche of a cemetery being the setting for a Gothic
horror movie was finally swept away. A cemetery could serve as a comfort to those left behind. But city council’s decision to sweep off anything other than fresh flowers – no wilted flowers, mind you – just seems to be a step backwards. It seems like an attempt to sanitize death. Do graveyards have to be perfectlygroomed, neatly ordered rows of identical gravestones? Is that really where we want to inter our loved ones? That’s not a final resting place, that’s a cupboard. Don’t get us wrong, we’re not advocating plastic windmills and laughing gnomes holding onto crinkly, aluminum balloons celebrating the life that once was with a Hallmark card cliche printed on it. But can’t we allow for some colour and individuality? Flowers only? Really?
Do “adornments” really pose a hazard to funeral and cemetery staff? If so, then do we have to go to the other extreme? Oh, and by the way, don’t let your flowers wilt or they’ll be removed at the first sign of browning. It’s obvious that people in the community want to mark the passing of their loved ones in this way. It’s become an expression of our culture. It’s ironic that it’s the city’s general manager of parks, recreation and culture who is coming down as the heavy on this expression of new traditions. Once again, a bureaucrat is dictating to the community how the expression of emotions will be conducted in this city. If a family wants to place a tasteful candle or some such on their relative’s grave, what’s the big deal?
Letters
There is also lots of support for Centennial Park upgrade
I wanted to write and say that I am one of the many parents in support of the park upgrade. I think the new design is fantastic and is just what Campbell River needs. I would disagree that the park is ‘just a neighborhood park’ as stated in Sept. 13 article. Especially in the summer months when the pool is open. Plus it is a short walk from the museum and aquarium and I can easily see tourists using the park. When opposition to the park by neighborhod residence was launch through a social media site supporters of the upgrades did get together to see if a counter protest was needed. We were told by city counsil that the plan would go through. We were very happy! So, yes Mayor Walkter Jakeway, there was some opposition but I assure you there is a a lot of support as well.

Beer lovers unite, it’s time again for Oktoberfest
Paul Rudan No, really
The big beer glasses are clean and ready for filling, the pretzels are on order and today I’ll search for some uber sausage to make the day complete. It’s not quite October, but Oktoberfest is here. That strikes a lot of people as odd, but it’s tough to argue with 90 million festive Germans and their many friends around the world. The true Oktoberfest opened last weekend in Munich (pronounced and known as “München” in Bavaria) with a parade to end all parades and the tapping of the first keg. It’s a big deal in every way and I had the pleasure of being there for the opening weekend five years ago. For anyone who enjoys a good “brau”
such as Augustiner – from Munich’s oldest brewery, but tragically isn’t available Canada – attending Oktoberfest is a must, at least once in a lifetime. The parade itself is a jaw-dropping spectacle. It lasts for hours as it winds through the city with marching oompapa bands, massive wooden beer kegs on flower-decorated carts – hauled by even bigger horses – pretty ladies in cleavage-revealing dirndls, and brigades of riflemen wearing long, thick socks, lederhosen and traditional hats decorated with colourful feathers. The show-stopper was the massive sixpoint buck that had been dispatched in the Black Forest and then displayed in the parade as it was hauled to Oktoberfest grounds, known as Theresienwiese,
to be roasted and consumed. The “Wiesn,” as it’s known, is even more stunning. Think the PNE, only six times bigger. The midway seemingly goes on forever and dotted throughout are huge tents which each hold between 3,000 and 5,000 beer lovers all singing Ein Prosit and raising a toast umpteen times a day. I loved it, sitting there under the yellow-topped Augustiner tent – because that’s where the locals like to go – sharing a picnic table with a München family who were all too eager to present their new Canadian friend with litre-sized biers – there’s no other size – steckerlfisch (grilled fish on a stick) and würstl (sausages). One day I’ll return, but still, it’s no
excuse for missing Oktoberfest. That’s why, last year, I hosted my own Oktoberfest. Tomorrow is the second annual event. The patio will be transformed into the biergarten and all those colourful coasters – liberated from various München beer halls, including the famous Hofbräuhaus – will come in very handy. I also brought back a couple CDs so the oompapa tunes will be blaring with various interludes for the belting out of Ein Prosit, followed by hearty swallows of bier or perhaps a dark shot of Jägermeister. I even have my own litre-sized glass mug courtesy the Paulaner brewery of München. And to that, all I can say is, prost!

Give thanks for Orford quartet
The Quadra Cultural Committee is proud to present the New Orford String Quartet as the first in its 2013-2014 concert series on Mon., October 14, Thanksgiving Day at 2:30 p.m. at the Quadra Community Centre. Almost 50 years ago, the Orford String Quartet set out on its path to becoming one of Canada’s best known and most illustrious ensembles. After 26 years and more than 2000 concerts on six continents, the Orford String Quartet disbanded in 1991. In 2009, the New Orford String Quartet arose from the fame and tradition of its glorious predecessor and gave its first concert to a sold-out audience at the Orford Arts Centre that year. Emerging from the rich waters of two of Canada’s major orchestras, the New Orford String Quartet is now this country’s premiere string quartet. In the short time since its creation, the New Orford String Quartet has seen remarkable success, giving annual concerts at the Orford Arts Centre for national CBC broadcast and receiving unanimous critical

The excitement is building for Habitat for Humanity staff who are preparing to build its second Campbell River home. The non-profit society is planning to construct a duplex at 480 Hilchey Road for two lucky families. In order to make the build possible, Habitat is calling on the community for volunteers. Deb Roth, the executive director of the Vancouver Island North branch of Habitat for Humanity, said a Sept. 21 information session was sparsely attended so Roth will be trying again to recruit volunteers. Because the amount of work that needs to be done can be a bit overwhelming, Habitat is breaking down the information sessions into two groups. The first session will be held to recruit a family selection committee. The meeting will be held Tues., Oct. 22 at the Campbell River Habitat for Humanity ReStore (1725 Willow Street) at 6:30 p.m. Roth said the session will be for “anyone inter-

ested in home ownership or helping as part of the family selection team.” Families are chosen based on a set of criteria established by Habitat for Humanity. For example, families must have full custody of at least one child under the age of 18 and there has to be a need for adequate shelter. The family must also be willing to put in 500 hours of sweat equity or volunteer labour with Habitat. Successful applicants
must also have a regular income that is not Employment Insurance or Income Assistance as the family must pay back an affordable, interestfree loan with no down payment. Monthly payments towards the loan are based on approximately 30 per cent of gross monthly household income. After a committee is formed to select the two families for next summer’s Hilchey build, a second information ses-
sion will be held at a date still to be determined to recruit a fundraising team. In order to build the home, Habitat for Humanity needs to raise $200,000, according to Roth who hopes to begin construction in June, 2014. Habitat for Humanity has helped 10 North Island families become homeowners since 2004, with most of the builds being in the Comox Valley.

D
octors, fitness professionals and nutritionalists all have ideas on what men and women should and should not eat. Choosing the right foods can help save waistlines and lives.
9 1
Use a smaller plate. This will trick the eye and brain into thinking you are eating a lot. A large plate seems empty with smaller portions, prompting many men and women to eat more than is necessary. Using a smaller dish can give the impression of eating from an overflowing dish.
2
Make vegetables a priority, not an afterthought. Fill up on vegetables and make meat and other higher-calorie foods the afterthought, instead of vice-versa. In fact, two-thirds of your dish should

ways to eat better now be consumed by vegetables, with the remaining portion for a protein or starch.
3
Avoid family-style meals. That means placing large serving dishes full of food directly on the table. It encourages going in for seconds when you really may not be hungry. It takes the brain at least 20 minutes to register feeling full. So serve yourself from the stove and wait to see if you’re still hungry before going back for more.

PROCESS
Switch to skim products. It is widely known that dairy products are an important component of healthy living. However, whole-milk varieties tend to be heavy on calories and saturated fat. Opt for skim milk whenever possible. Today, there are ultra-pasteurized varieties of skim milk that are creamy and filling.
5
Rely on seafood protein. Eating fish once or twice a week is an excellent way to cut calories and enjoy a food that is rich in essential fatty acids.
6
Experiment with herbs, not salt. A lot of sodium in a diet may not be good for blood pressure and it can lead to water retention. Instead, reach for herbs to add flavour to foods. Keep a fresh selection of parsley, chives, cilantro, basil and other herbs at the ready and chances are you won’t even miss the salt.
7
Go sparingly on dressings and sauces. You can quickly turn a healthy salad into an unhealthy meal if you drizzle on too much creamy salad dressing. Studies show that
some fast food salads have more fat than other fast food fare, including hamburgers. Opt for the dressing on the side, or select among the fatfree alternatives. Use only about 1 to 2 teaspoons for flavour.
8
Indulge once and a while. Depriving yourself or everything that is tasty can lead to binge eating or overeating. Just remember to keep the portions of sweets or fattening foods modest and try not to over-do it the rest of the day.
9
Don’t forget the exercise. The benefits of exercise beyond simply helping you to lose weight:
• Lowers risk of heart disease by 40 percent. • Lowers risk of breast cancer by 20 percent. • Lowers risk of depression by 30 percent. • Lowers risk of hypertension by 40 percent. • Lowers type 2 diabetes by 58 percent.

LIFESTYLE When To Get New Running Shoes How long has it been since you bought a new pair of running shoes? If your answer is two years or more, you will definitely want to look at getting a new pair! Don’t use the look of the treads (bottom) of the shoes to gauge wear. They may still look good long after the mid-sole, which absorbs most of the impact, has broken down. If you are having joint pain, shin splints, muscle fatigue, or any new pain, there’s a good chance your shoes no longer have enough cushioning and support. The standard recommendation of shoe gurus is to replace your shoes every 300 to 400 miles.
breat cancer Your awareness Fall Checklist for Optimal Health 7x14
That’s 480 to 640 kilometers. Smaller runners can wait a little longer, while heavier runners might want to replace at the lower end. If you’re a new runner, you may think that will take years. But if you run or walk 5k three times a week, your shoes will be done in only 10 months. Terrain will also play a role, so you may be able to get a few extra miles out of them if you’re only on the treadmill, while your shoe may break down faster if you’re on rough roads. Shoe models can change from year to year, and so can your body, so make sure you get properly fitted before you buy.

lu prevention: specialized homeopathic remedies for flu prevention are recommended to be taken October through to May each year. This program is simple to follow for the entire family, inexpensive and effective. Cleansing: the body needs a tune up just like your car does. The easiest program I recommend are homeopathic drainage remedies that are taken for 6 weeks and require no diet changes. If you are ready for something that cleanses the bowel and requires a stricter diet, I have a two week program that is easy to follow during a hectic schedule. When people cleanse regularly they are less likely to get sick, they tend to lose a little weight and their energy and mental clarity improves. Strengthen Your Foundation of Health: Most North Americans do not get the optimum required nutrients they need every day in their diet. This includes calcium, magnesium, B complex, vitamin D, essential fatty acids and probiotics. By taking a basic program of supplements Monday through Friday many nuisance symptoms improve: insomnia, achy joints, headaches, constipation or diarrhea, reflux and heartburn, dry itchy skin and fatigue. For children and sensitive individuals many of these nutrients are
available in powders and liquids. Prevention of Chronic Disease: If you are trying to avoid having to take prescription medication for blood pressure, cholesterol or diabetes, Naturopathic Medicine provides many effective solutions. Try New Recipes: I generally recommend less dairy and wheat in the diet and provide delicious recipes on my website or in printed form. Try something new every week for the next three months and see how much better you can feel! Naturopathic physicians are educators and are positioned to teach you lifestyle medicine for optimal health for any age. If you are ready to take more responsibility for your health we can teach you how and in a way that works best for you.

B
ack pain affects 80% of people at some point in their lives. Back and neck pain are among the most widespread reasons patients seek physiotherapy treatment. Back pain can range from a dull, constant ache to a sudden, sharp pain, and can be acute or chronic. Neck pain, which is closely associated with back pain, occurs when muscles are strained from poor posture or injury, or when joints are worn or nerves are compressed. Both conditions can be debilitating and effect a patient’s physical and mental well-being. Dean Clark from Active Living Physiotherapy shares 4 tips on how to prevent back and neck pain, to keep British Columbians moving for life. “Early access to physiotherapy within 14 days of the occurrence of pain has a significant long-term impact on the patient’s health,” says Clark, “as it helps prevent chronic pain or disability. So, if you are suffering from back or neck pain, seeking the guidance of a physiotherapist and following the following four basic points is a great first step towards finding relief.” 1. Vary your position. Sitting at computers and desks all day puts increased pressured on your spine. After 30 minutes of sitting make sure you walk around to increase the flow of blood and fluids to your spine. Consider setting up a standing workstation to vary your position while working at your computer. Try sitting on an exercise ball. The key is variability and breaks. Your physiotherapist will prescribe suitable and safe stretches or “pause exercises” and provide tips on how to correctly position yourself in front of your computer in various positions and for different tasks. 2. Stay flexible. Optimal spinal health means having flexibility in all directions. If your thorax (upper-mid back and ribcage) has limited movement, or your hamstrings
(the muscles on the back of your thighs) are tight, more load and stress can be transferred to your low back, neck or other body parts. If you have tightness or reduced motion, your physiotherapist can assess the reason why, mobilize your spinal joints, and give you stretches to maintain your mobility - essential for a healthy low back and neck. 3. Keep your core in check. Regain optimal control of your deep spinal muscles (core) following an episode of neck or back pain. Research shows that following an episode of back or neck pain, your deep supporting muscles (or your “back belt”) are inhibited or shut down. These muscles are crucial in supporting your spine. Your physiotherapist will provide a thorough examination of your spinal muscles, and prescribe exercises that will engage the appropriate muscles to support your spine. 4. Correct postural habits. Be aware of habitual postures and positions (such as always sitting on one side of the couch, slouching with your feet on the coffee table, carrying your bag/purse always over the same shoulder, etc.) Habitually poor postures may indicate weaknesses in certain muscle groups or stiffness within the body. Make sure your work desk and computer are set up properly to encourage optimal posture. Your physiotherapist will assess your posture and postural habits and teach you how to correct them. Dean recently treated a 63 year -old bricklayer who had long standing back pain that was getting progressively worse. He stated “I’m only 63 and my back feels like it’s 93.” Over the course of six weeks Dean and his client worked together to design a stretch and exercise regime that returned him to golf, fishing and working in his shop.
N
Although it has been around since 1983, and is enjoyed in over 28 countries, many people still have never heard of Nia. Blending elements of Martial Arts, Dance Arts, and the Healing Arts (e.g. yoga) into a unique aerobic workout, Nia addresses the needs of body, mind, emotions, and spirit all at once. The foundation of Nia is the pleasure principle: all gain, no pain. Nia choreography is adaptable to everyone: three levels of intensity for every movement are provided, as well as a variety in range of motion, creating a very user-friendly fitness experience. Nia empowers students and teachers to make their own movement choices by offering students a flexible structure they can personally modify to suit their needs. Jean Wrohan, certified Nia Green Belt instructor with a background in dance and fitness, has taught in Campbell River for five years, and welcomes people of all ages and abilities to try this form of fitness. As she says, “Nia is like chocolate, you have to try it to know what it is like.” And the first class is always free.

Aquaculture Week
BCSALMONFACTS Salmon are Incredibly Efficient Eaters Salmon farmers in BC can currently achieve a ratio of about 1.2 kgs of feed to 1 kg of salmon: which makes us very close to being a net producer of protein. This is great when we talk about the importance of feeding the world: for example, chickens convert feed at a 2:1 ratio, while pigs are closer to 6:1. Salmon feed is designed specifically to conserve wild fish stocks and ensure healthy fish. With a limited amount of fish meal and fish oil available in the world, feed companies have focused on using it as efficiently as possible: and made great strides in that work.

on Vancouver Island aquaculture week 7x14 Why an Aquaculture Awareness Week? Raising a salmon to market is not a quick process. In BC, our salmon are raised right from the egg, collected from broodstock raised by our farmers. Fertilized eggs are incubated in hatcheries and raised there for the first year of their lives. This is a critical stage in the fish’s growth. Once the fish are big enough, they are transferred to the farm sites. Each farm has between eight and 12 enclosures, each, holding around 50,000 fish. It may seem like a big number, but our farmers ensure the fish have lots of room – the salmon only take up about two per cent of the farm space.
The farm technicians monitor the fish to ensure they are healthy and happy. Regular fish health monitoring, sampling and testing, ongoing environmental testing (water quality and ocean bottom conditions), site safety and biosecurity, maintenance of nets and structures are among the many procedures farmers must undertake to ensure success.

Young Masters draw with Zgoda After winning its opening match, Campbell River’s Mainstream Canada Young Masters played its first home game last Saturday in Division 4 of the Vancouver Island Soccer League. Opp onents Zgo da Juniors FC of Victoria also won its season opener and the two clubs are tied at the top of the division. The local side played the first 30 minutes a man short and Zgoda took advantage, scoring on a breakaway at the seven-minute mark. Campbell River settled into the game and were able to equalize on a counter-attack at 25 minutes on a brilliant finish by Kevin Shelswell. Zgoda Juniors then scored with a strong header, making it 2-1 at halftime. At the 70 minutes, it was the Zgoda’s turn to play with 10 men, as they lost a player due to a red card given for a dangerous tackle. On the ensuing free kick, player/coach John Jepson executed a wonderful left footed strike from just over 18 yards to beat a diving keeper. Minutes before the final whistle, Mainstream keeper Connor Fairweather made a game-saving save as he sprawled across his goal to stop a rebound from crossing the line. The game ended in a 2-2 draw, leaving both teams in top-of-the-table position in the standings after two weeks. Mainstream Canada plays another home game this coming Sunday, 2 p.m. at Willow Point Park, versus SFFC Originals.
There will be free beginner and intermediate curling clinics for adults happening next week at the Campbell River Curling Club. Those planning on attending Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday are expected to be present each of the three nights as the instructors will be building on and reviewing skills taught the previous evening. The beginner clinic runs from 6:30-7:30 p.m. Those attending the beginner clinic should arrive at 6:10 p.m. so they can be sized for sliders and brushes, which are also provided free of charge. Beginners should wear warm, loose, comfortable clothing (sweatpants are great), and carry in a pair of flat-soled shoes to wear on the ice (runners are excellent). The Intermediate clinic (for curlers who have one year or more experience) will run from 8-9 p.m. Curlers will have a chance to improve their deliveries and brushing techniques and play a two-end mini-game the last night to try out their new skills. If you are planning to attend either clinic, or have any questions, call the curling club manager, Susan, at 250-287-4200 to register. Walk-ins are also welcome, but advance registration is appreciated.

Carihi and Timberline clash
Carihi Senior Boys Soccer team played their league season opener against Timberline this past week. The first half was a close affair with Timberline led by Ryan Cessford and Kellen Arnink working in tireless fashion to cloe the more experienced Tyees down. The opening goal was scored by Zach Tillipaugh who received the ball inside the 18 and fired it home. The second half saw the Tyees score five more goals with the highlight goal being scored by full back Carter Colblenz. The goal was created when Coblenz maked a strong challenge just outside our the Carihi pen-

Once again Carihi passed the ball around with confidence and intelligence. The first half was dominated by Carihi and only some outstanding goalkeeping from the Dover Bay keeper kept the scores level. The goals did arrive with in the second half with Tillapaugh scoring the first after some neat play on the top of the 18 where he lost the defender and struck the ball firmly into the roof of the net.

Graham not afraid to roll up his sleeves and get down to it The Campbell River and District Association for Community Living’s (CRDACL) employment program has been assisting people with developmental disabilities, find meaningful employment for over 23 years. During that time the organization has connected numerous businesses in the community with reliable, committed employees. The Campbell River Mirror is pleased to be able to present a series of articles profiling local businesses that have brought meaningful employment to people with developmental disabilities.
P
opsey’s is well known in our community for good food, friendly service and of course the old fashioned log cabin design of the restaurant. What might not be so well known is the small but integral role in the community they also play. Graham Hanaka, an individual with disabilities is in his second year of employment at the establishment. Building inclusive communities is a goal that must be shared by all British Columbians if it is to be realized. Ruth Lim, Owner of Popsey’s, believes in this philosophy and is doing her part to see that an inclusive community encompasses a work force with members of diverse abilities. Hanaka is at the helm of the dish pit every Friday over the busy lunch hour and excels despite their high volume of dishes. “Graham is very punctual,” says the owner, “very reliable.’ Lim has tailored a two-hour shift dur-
ing the peak hours for Hanaka and is pleased with his consistency and reliability. “Fridays is one of the busiest times at Popsey’s and Graham comes along and is just a smiling face. He gets right at the dishes and he knows his routine,” Lim says. Hanaka was trained to use the equipment and cleaning supplies by the job coaches from the Association of Community Living and his supervisors when he first started working. Coworkers all enjoy working with Hanaka and understand the limits of his disabilities. They are able to support him and provide a working environment that makes everyone happy. When the dishes start piling up and things get hectic, Hanaka says that he stays in his zone and “Just powers through it.” The training process is very comprehensive and supportive. “I’ve found it a very supportive and flexible process with the Association, getting a person with disabilities

into the work place,” Lim says, “they come in with the client and are physically here doing the work, doing it with him. The first shift is done together, and then a few sequential shifts are only assisted part of the time.” The supportive employment of CRDACL has a good follow up system. Safety training and work routines are all done through the job coaches and at no extra expense of the employer. Hanaka and Maureen Brinson (the Job Coach) did the training, “But I got the job!” he says with a laugh. Job coaches are receptive to each employer’s
specific needs and concerns, coming in during the demanding hours of business, including evenings, weekends, and even statutory holidays. The staff likes to joke with Hanaka that any broken plates will come out of his pay check, but in reality, any retraining or skills building would be handled by the supportive employment. Lim is comfortable contacting the association with any concerns or questions regarding her employee and finds the lines of communication to be always open. Lim explains how they still communicate with her regularly, “ A few months ago Graham had to miss some work

because he was having dental surgery and so when he came back he was a little off track with what his duties were. I put an e-mail into Maureen and someone came in with him for a couple of hours on a couple of shifts and supported him through that period. Everything continued as smoothly as normal.” Working in the community is a big part of inclusion. People with developmental disabili-
ties want and need to work at jobs where they are paid real wages and feel valued as employees. Lim finds the principal very important. “I like seeing the people in the community with disabilities being supported and working,” she says. “I am glad to be a part of that. “I would even be open to having another employee to come in and bus tables on the Prime Rib Sundays.” Research has shown that an inclusive work place increases morale. By being included, individuals with developmental disabilities can also “include” others into their way of seeing and understanding the world. “Graham has some connections with some of his coworkers here,” Lim says, “ we only learned after Graham started working here that some of the other staff had family members and loved ones affiliated with or supported by the association as well. Working with, or living in group homes.” The staff at Popsey’s share a deeper bond
than most work environments. The approach needed to address these challenges needs to be multifaceted and encourage the involvement of families, individuals, employers, employees, governments and community service providers. Hanaka says that he is happy that he has a job and they are proud of him. He likes the job because it keeps him busy and it is about much more than just the money. Unlike a lot of his peers, the money that Graham earns does not go to partying, but into the bank for savings. When asked whether or not he’ll spend his money buying gifts for his friends and family he laughs “No way! All that hard earned cash is for me alone.” Popsey’s has been in business for 17 years and has previously employed another person with a disability but have found Hanaka to be a more compatible fit. Not every employee works out but through the transition period or difficulties, the Association has been supportive every step of the way.

911 dispatch back-up system to the rescue 22 || CAMPBELL CAMPBELL RIVER RIVER MIRROR | FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 2013 22
www.CampbellRiverMirror.com www.CampbellRiverMirror.com
Plan put to the test for the first time
The North Island 911 Corporation had a chance to test its call dispatch back-up plan last week – and kept information flowing to emergency responders. Starting at 10 p.m. on Sept. 18, dispatchers in Courtenay were having trouble transferring 911 calls to BC Ambulance Service. They quickly activated the new Central and North Island 911 back-up plan to re-route calls through other dispatch centres. The Campbell River Fire Department, a busy
dispatch centre responsible for directing calls
for 50 fire halls on northern Vancouver Island,
stepped up to play their support role, and ended
up processing a medical call on behalf of BC
Ambulance Service in the Powell River area. “Although telephone service has been reliable, we work to remove any potential obstacles to emergency response, so we made a proactive decision to plan and provide for dispatch services to be shared throughout north and central Vancouver Island (including the Sunshine Coast) in the event of a telephone system service interruption,” says Chris Vrabel, deputy fire chief with the City of Campbell River and fire dispatch manager for the North Island 911 Corporation. “This was the first time the plan had been used in a real-life situation, and it worked well, so the outcome for everyone involved was very good.” Vrabel says special thanks go out to Campbell River fire dispatchers on duty when the back-
is calling on British Columbians to make one
simple lifestyle change to reduce their cancer risk. The “My One Thing” initiative is based on the knowledge that about half of all cancers can be prevented through healthy living and policies that protect the public. Approximately 23,800 new cancer cases are diagnosed every year in BC and that figure is set to grow dramatically. There will be a
70 per cent increase in cancers in the next 20 years unless something changes. While BC historically has lower cancer rates than the rest of the country, the Society believes focusing on prevention is a game changer for the fight against cancer. “Imagine if half of the people who are expected to be diagnosed with cancer this year, didn’t receive that diagnosis,”
explains Barbara Kaminsky, CEO, Canadian Cancer Society, BC and Yukon. “That’s almost 12,000 people who wouldn’t have to face the realities of battling cancer and countless families and friends would be saved from hearing the life-altering news that a loved one is facing a cancer diagnosis. Isn’t that worth making one change?” The premise of the initiative is to encourage British Columbians to commit to making one change to reduce their cancer risk – from taking the stairs at work to eating more vegetables. People are encouraged
to write down their one thing and share it through their own social media channels and through myonething.ca. “We hope that by using peer-to-peer encouragement, we can influence behaviour changes that will impact cancer risk,” says Kaminsky. “It’s an initiative to empower individuals in an easy, accessible and realistic way.” The initiative has already gained support in the public, including from Vancouver Whitecaps FC President, Bob Lenarduzzi. “Like many other Canadians, cancer has affected me personally

up plan was activated: Paula Eppler, Jamie Hofmann and Carol Anderson, who was called in to assist with the extra calls. “Their professionalism and ability to absorb more calls and transfer information to additional organizations during the telephone service outage was a job very well done,” he said. The back-up plan has been in place since June 12, 2013. “On behalf of the North Island 911 Corporation, thanks to all involved in working through this issue to maintain service continuity for the public,” said Debra Oakman, chief administrative officer for the Comox Valley Regional District and secretary of the North Island 911 Corporation. Regular 911 dispatch service was restored in Courtenay by 1 a.m. on Sept. 19.
and has motivated me to commit to the fight against cancer,” says Lenarduzzi. “I think too often we mistakenly believe that cancer prevention is out of our hands or requires a major change in our lifestyle. This initiative reminds us all that cancer prevention is up to each one of us and together, we can make a difference.” Whitecaps FC are dedicating their match this Saturday against Real Salt Lake to the Canadian Cancer Society by highlighting Camp Goodtimes and the My One Thing initiative. Society volunteers will be at the game.

Abram receives long-service award J im Abram, Regional Director for the Strathcona Regional District, has been honoured with the Union of B.C. Municipalities’ (UBCM) Long-Service Recipient Award in recognition of his 25 years of service in local government office. The award was presented during a ceremony at the organization’s annual conference in Vancouver on September 19. Abram has served continuously in his elected position since 1988, representing an extremely large Electoral Area in the Discovery Islands Mainland Inlets, including the main population centre of Quadra Island. He initiated one of the first shoreline zoning bylaws in B.C. for his entire electoral area so as to bring more local control to land use decisions that were then being made exclusively by the province. His belief in local control and community involvement have always been at the forefront of his actions. He has become wellknown over the years as the leader of the opposition to federal
programs to de-staff Canada’s staffed lightstations. He has faced four attempts by the Canadian Coast Guard bureaucracy to de-staff and has been successful each time, with the latest victory in 2011. His collaborative work with the Senate, MPs and Ministers paid off and has saved 51 staffed lightstations on both coasts of Canada. For this, along with other community work, he was recognized as a recipient of the Canada 125 medal and the Queen’s Golden Jubilee Medal for making a significant contribution to Canada, to his community and to fellow Canadians. Abram has served on many key committees at the local, regional, provincial and national levels. He has represented the Regional District on most of the planning processes that have taken place in the province over the past 25 years. He continues to represent his constituents and his region on three major marine planning processes at this time. For 25 years, Abram has been a major voice
for coastal communities regarding the BC Ferry system and the fight to keep fares affordable and service consistent. He is currently a representative on a group consisting of all of the chairs of the coastal regional districts and the Islands Trust, representing more than 70 per cent of the population of B.C.
He is the current Vice Chair of the Strathcona Regional District and served as Chair of the Comox- Strathcona Regional District for four years. He was the electoral representative on the Association of Vancouver Island and Coastal Communities for two years, served on the UBCM executive for
10 years and was the UBCM President for one year in 2000/2001. During his time on UBCM Executive he worked on the Environment Committee, the Aboriginal Affairs Committee and was a key player in establishing the very successful Community to Community Forums both provincially and regionally along with the First Nations Summit working group. He was a member of the Community Charter Council which wrote the current Community Charter for municipalities. “I am honoured by this award from one of the most prestigious local government organizations in BC. I have always been and will always feel privileged to represent the people of such an incredible portion of this province. We live in one of the most beautiful places on earth and I will continue through my work and involvement to do my best to keep it that way. I look forward to completing the many projects that are so important to the people in this area in the upcoming years.”
Carol-An Dwyer is celebrating her 70th birthday and using it to raise awareness of ALS.
Campbell River resident Carol-Ann Dwyer will be celebrating her 70th birthday on Saturday Oct. 5 and hopes to use her birthday as an opportunity to increase ALS awareness. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a rapidly progressive, neuromuscular disease. It attacks the motor neurons that transmit electrical impulses from the brain to the voluntary muscles in the body. When they fail to receive messages, the muscles
lose strength, atrophy and die. The average life expectancy after diagnosis is 3-5 years. Dwyer is living with ALS and hopes the community will join her in celebrating her 70th birthday by stopping by Trinity Presbyterian Church on Oct. 5 between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. to learn more about ALS and to make a donation to the ALS Society of BC. There will also be scarves and jewelry for
sale with proceeds going to the ALS Society. The ALS Society of BC is dedicated to providing direct support to ALS patients, along with their families and caregivers, to ensure the best quality of life possible while living with this disease. Through assisting research, the society committed to finding the cause and cure for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). For more information or to donate visit: www. alsbc.ca
Jim Abram, chair of the Strathcona Regional District and director for Area C, was given a long-service award by the Union of B.C. Municipalities.

the impact of his abuse. However, since becoming a parent, he could feel the past creeping into the present. Despite his best intentions as a father, he found himself losing control and screaming at his son on a regular basis. He felt desperate for help and decided to try counselling based on his doctor’s recommendation. “My counsellor helped me understand that getting beaten as a kid might
have caused traumatic stress, which is what soldiers get“, explained Justin. Justin and his counsellor worked on developing a set of personal tools that he could use on his own to help him stay in the present and soothe his frayed nerves. He was still stressed, but able to function better. When he was ready, John and his counsellor used some evidence-based techniques for processing
traumas from the past that were intruding into his present. He started to feel even better. “I knew I was really doing better when I started laughing and having fun for the first time in years,” he chuckled. “I also knew I was getting better because other people noticed. My son looked me in the eyes and said he liked being with me lots more than before. While I used to get triggered over almost
anything, these days I don’t take things as personally. It’s a lot easier on me and everyone around me.” Justin reports being grateful to the local nonprofit society that helped him, North Island Survivors’ Healing Society. It offers professional subsidized counselling for men and women affected by trauma and abuse. More information is available at 250-287-3325 or www.nishs.ca.
Drive Smart BC Dealing With Glare From Low Sun Welcome to fall! It’s the time of year that I have trouble driving to work in the morning. The sun is low in the sky to the east at the time of my commute and there is one spot on the highway where it shines directly into my eyes making it very difficult to see. Worse still, this location has an intersection with a traffic light that can be completely obscured by the glare.
tyee chev2x14
The first line of defense is to keep my windshield as clean as possible. I use good wiper blades, winter washer fluid and top up the reservoir regularly. I also use a good quality glass cleaner on the inside of the windshield. It can be surprising how dirty the inside can get when the defroster is used. Dirt makes glare worse, so a clean view is a must. My sun visor and polarized sunglasses make up the second line of defense. These sunglasses can remove significant amounts of glare and are not to be confused with glasses that have anti-reflective coatings. The two are not the same. When they are not enough, I use the same trick that I use when I am avoiding headlight glare at night, watch the edge of the lane so I know where I am. The last line of defense is to anticipate and slow down. This gives me more time to search out the traffic signals and make sure that I am not going to run a red light. Keeping in mind that drivers behind me are also affected by the glare I may choose to slow down before it is required so that I am not hit from behind. The author is a retired constable with many years of traffic law enforcement experience. To comment or learn more, please visit www. drivesmartbc.ca. Cst. Tim Schewe (Rtd.)

HOROSCOPES September 22–28
ARIES
You should be able to extricate yourself from a complicated financial situation with some skill. You’re very articulate and you succeed in winning everyone over to your side.
TAURUS
You have to make a choice, even though you don’t necessarily have all the information to hand. Try to rely on your good judgement, and avoid long-term payments.
GEMINI
You could very well receive a proposition concerning your career. Take the time to discuss it with your loved ones before accepting, even if it’s the job you’ve always dreamed of.
CANCER
You feel the need to maintain a fairly busy social life. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to include the one you love in your different activities in order to rediscover the passion you feel for each other.
LEO
Your telephone won’t stop ringing — it’s either your customers or clients who really need you or friends who are looking for you. You are a popular and charismatic individual!
VIRGO
You could decide to change your car on the spur of the moment. If you’re patient enough to negotiate a good price, the salesperson will end up making an offer you can’t refuse.
LIBRA
After calculating your budget, you realize that you have the means to treat yourself to a trip south during your next vacation. It might be a golden opportunity for a romantic trip for two.
SCORPIO
A few changes are required in your love relationship as well as at home or at work. Give yourself a few days to think about these decisions before taking action.
SAGITTARIUS
Your friends try to persuade you to spoil yourself. You decide to get a makeover and follow the advice of a good friend on how to take care of yourself.
CAPRICORN
You find yourself in the spotlight for one reason or another. You look after a group of people who could very well pay tribute to you, or at least congratulate you.
AQUARIUS
You think about buying a house, especially if there’s even the smallest of changes in the family. You may hear a hint about a birth within your entourage.
PISCES
You have lots to talk about. Even at work, you continually find yourself in the middle of some interesting discussions. This will also allow you to extend your network of contacts.

Volunteers load some of the food collected Saturday as part of the BC Thanksgiving Food Crive. Coordinators of the Campbell River segment of the drive announced that nearly 9,000 pounds of food were collected this past Saturday, and donated to the Campbell River food bank. Seventy-four volunteers were involved in the project, which included dropping off bags (provided by Quality Foods) and flyers (provided by Sure Copy) during the week, and then picking up and loading the donations on Saturday. This year, over 2500 homes were visited. The project was started in 2011, and has steadily grown – organizers are looking forward to even bigger numbers in 2014. AlistAir tAylor/the Mirror

NIC welcomes new Dean of Trades, Patricia Rokosh
N
Patricia Rokosh has taken up her new position as North Island College’s Dean of Trades and Technology.
cvrd 3x8 PROCESS
orth Island College is very pleased to welcome Patricia Rokosh as its new Dean of Trades and Technology. Rokosh began her position on Sept. 1 and will be working out of the Campbell River campus. Rokosh most recently served as Dean, Trades and Manufacturing Technologies, at Red Deer College in Red Deer, Alberta, where she managed a growing and diverse portfolio. Prior to joining RDC in 2011, Pat spent 10 years at SAIT Polytechnic in Calgary where she served as Academic Chair for the School of Business and as the Skills and 2009 WorldSkills Coordinator. “As a strategic manager, Pat motivates and leads teams by successfully combining resources and talent with opportunities and community connections,” states Jan Carrie, NIC’s Vice President Education. “She has a strong track record of securing special project funding, leveraging opportunities and promoting trades programming as a first choice career option. We are very pleased to have Pat join the NIC team.” “I am passionate about training a skilled workforce and believe that it takes a certain kind of person to translate theory into practice, like we do in our trades and technology programs. There are so many creative and practical aspects to training that benefit students beyond the classroom,” says Rokosh. “Mas-
tering these types of skills sets is like putting tools in your toolbox – you’ll always have the knowledge and will likely be able to apply that understanding to a wide variety of areas through a professional career. Although I’m new to the Island, I see opportunity in so many places and I’m excited about working with our communities and with industry to help people be successful in their chosen careers.” For people who are interested in taking advantage of the need for skilled workers in B.C., Rokosh suggests contacting NIC and adds, “Our technology and trades foundation programs have started, as well as our Cook Apprentice program, but if individuals are considering a career in the growing construction industry, we still have some spaces in our Plumbing and Carpentry apprentice classes, which start on Monday at NIC’s Comox Valley campus.” Rokosh holds a Diploma in Engineering Technology from SAIT, a Bachelor of Applied Communications degree in Public Relations from Mount Royal College (University), and is in the process of completing her Masters of Environment and Management degree from Royal Roads University, where her thesis focuses on sustainability in the construction trades.

Join the conversation about coastal forestry With National Forestry Week now underway, Coast Forest Products Association has launched a new website with the goal of starting an important conversation about the significance of British Columbia’s coastal forest industry. Visitors to the website, www.ourforestsourroots. org have the option to share their own stories, show support for the modern industry, gather insights about the history, and more importantly, the future of the coastal forest industry. “Coastal forest companies have made enormous strides over the last decade, becoming part of a sustainable, modern, innovative industry through hard work and collaboration,” says Rick Jeffrey, Coast Forest President and CEO. “Thanks to these efforts, this industry has plenty to be proud of and a bright future ahead.” Forestry is an integral part of the economic fabric of coastal communities, from the Lower Mainland to Port Hardy to Haida Gwaii. There are more than 38,000 people whose jobs and livelihoods rely on a healthy coastal forestry sector. That’s one in 10 jobs on the coast. Today’s coastal forest industry not only successfully co-exists with other resource sectors, such as transportation and tourism, but also supports them, as many of these workers consider these coastal communities home. “Each and every person involved in our industry – as well as their families, colleagues and entire communities, now have the opportunity with ‘Our Forests – Our Roots’ to have their voices heard. We want people to speak up in support and build some real momentum. We all depend on a healthy and thriving coastal forest sector,” says Jeffrey. The new website offers the ideal platform for conversation and will allow people to demonstrate the importance of their livelihoods, their communities and having a healthy and modern coastal forestry sector. Ultimately, community support and the security and certainty of BC’s fibre supply is critical to the industry’s sustainability.
