Trio of searches all end well Paul Rudan Campbell RiveR miRRoR
Three call-outs in 10 days all had happy endings for Campbell River Search and Rescue. Local volunteers took part in two large-scale events and then, Thursday morning, were called out to Hanson Island where a lost archaeologist was found just as searchers arrived. “We never get upset about being called in to a search, only to find that the lost person has showed up on their own,” said search manager Alex Michaels in a news release. “We always encourage people to call 911 to activate search and rescue at the first opportunity because of the possibility that the overdue person could become injured or hypothermic and need medical help as soon as possible.” On Sept. 22, local members were among a group of 40 volunteer searchers from around the island who assisted in the extrication of an Continued on Pg. 4

Overview of the Shaw studio where Carihi students are shooting and producing DRIVE CR. That’s Tre Keller and Loren Maxwell at the anchor desk. The show airs Tuesdays, Thursdays and Friday’s on Shaw Cable channel 4.

curriculums.” Shields, who has previous experience in both the tech and media fields, has been trying to get this program in gear for a couple years. Thanks to a longstanding tradition of innovative education at Carihi, along with the blessings and guidance of principal Sean Toal and school district superintendent Tom Longridge, the DRIVE class fired up for the first time in September. The class of 30 is split into two groups and the class runs full afternoons, or in school terms, C and D blocks. Four days of the week they work together in class going through the English 10 and 11 curriculums, and also developing this week’s show. That involves planning, setting up interviews, filming, editing and script writing, and working in collaboration as a team. Shields sums up the process more
succinctly, “It’s a field all about communication.” Then, one day a week, the class is bused to the Robron Centre where one group works on English studies in the computer lab while the other half trots next door to the Shaw studio where the DRIVE CR show is shot and produced. And halfway through the afternoon, they swap places as Shields and teaching assistant Codie Harpell oversee the show’s production. “The kids are doing really, really well,” says Shaw videographer Marjorie Greaves, as the students work on production. Shields says Shaw has been a huge supporter of the news desk style program, particularly program director Chas Leckie and Greaves who provide professional assistance, guidance and encouragement to the budding video journalists. Not only that, but the class is getting studio time for free as Shaw
also seeks innovative ways to produce and present local shows through its Community Access Programming. Shields notes there’s even been discussion of using DRIVE CR as a pilot program for other communities where Shaw operates. The other key goal of the program, obviously, is to get students to complete their Grade 10 and 11 English courses, and they’re able to do this at their own pace. “Their goal is to complete English 10 in half the time and then advance to English 11 much quicker,” says Shields. “The kids are choosing to work at an above-and-beyond level.” In Studio
It’s Wednesday afternoon and students are in studio and the control room at Shaw producing the next DRIVE CR show. They’re working through the “bugs” of the script and the co-
t c e t o r P V R r o t a o Your B
anchors are flubbing lines as well, yet it’s obvious they’re concentrating on their work and trying to get things right. It’s a little hairy as Shields suddenly opens the studio door and interrupts the production to announce the presence of a visiting reporter. “Ahggh!” sighs camera operator Brett Friedrich, somewhat annoyed by the intrusion. Later, in private, Shields chuckles as he relates how many of the students want him and teaching assistant Harpell to be as handsoff as possible. Shields admires the can-do attitude and says his biggest role, outside of teaching duties, is to provide continuity to the show and to spur the students to constantly improve. n Watch DRIVE CR on Shaw Cable channel 4 on Tuesdays, 11:30 a.m., Thursdays, 9 p.m. and Fridays, 10 p.m. The class is also working to get the show on Youtube.

Time running out for Campbell River Hospice

The clock is ticking and time is running out for the Campbell River Hospice Society which desperately needs to find a new home. The society has been operating out of the Dogwood Street professional building beside the Curling Club but the owner – the Association for Community Living – needs the space back. Hospice, which offers compassionate companionship to those with terminal illnesses and support to families dealing with the grief of losing a loved one, has until its lease expires Oct. 31 to find a new home. In a bid to raise money for a new Hospice House, the society is entered in and vying for a $150,000 grand prize from the Aviva Community Fund. The winner is selected based on the number of votes a project can garner from the public online. Iona Wharton, director of programs and services for Campbell River Hospice, said Hospice House is a project that will eventually affect everyone.
Kristen Douglas/the Mirror
Julie Collis, director of operations for the Campbell River Hospice Society, is encouraging the community to vote for the Hospice Society’s Hospice House project on the Aviva Community Fund contest website. Hospice’s lease expires on Oct. 31 and the society is being asked to re-locate from its Dogwood Street office but it doesn’t have the funding to purchase a new home.
“End of life and grief support is going to touch every single person in this town at one time or another,” Wharton said. “Almost every single person in this town will be palliative or will be touched by someone who is palliative.” Which is where Hospice House comes in. The society wants to
open one palliative care bed, which would be the only one of its kind on the North Island. The bed would allow a terminally ill patient to pass away in a quiet, home-like setting, rather than in hospital. Hospice House would also fill a void for those patients who don’t have anyone to care for them in their
final days. With older patients, the caregiver is often an elderly spouse whot does not have the means to provide them with the medical care they require. Ho s pi c e prov i d e s those type of services and all are free of charge, despite receiving no core funding. All the fundraising the society does
www.CampbellRivermirror.com www.CampbellRiverMirror.com
goes towards keeping the doors open. Wharton points out that the grief counselling Hospice provides would typically cost at least $120. At Hospice, counsellors help terminal patients reflect on their lives and capture experiences and memories through scrapbooking, writing, audio or visual storytelling. Wharton said the society would like to offer even more but it’s just not possible in the limited space Hospice currently occupies. But with its own home, the society would like to expand on its programming to offer play therapy and art therapy for children, plant a healing garden and start a day program for palliative patients where they can interact with others in similar situations. It would also provide respite for caregivers who are providing 24-hour care. Wharton is encouraging the entire community to go online and vote in the Aviva contest to make Hospice’s dreams a reality. “We really want the

town to get behind us in voting, it’s something we could win but it would take the whole town to rally,” Wharton said. “We’re up against some pretty stiff competition but if we could get everyone to vote once. We’re just asking for a few minutes of your time.” Julie Collis, director of operations for Campbell River Hospice, said it’s been a difficult year trying to raise the big dollars. “It’s still pretty thin,” Collis said. “We’ve got a lot of people saying they want to help but no one’s walking through the door with any big cheques.” Collis noted that Hospice has been helping the community for years and now it’s Hospice’s turn to ask for help. “In the 27 years we’ve been here, we’ve touched 15,500 people. That’s almost one person out of every couple in this
community,” Collis said. “We’ve been there for almost half of our community.” Now Hospice is hoping the community will be there for them. To vote for Hospice in the Aviva contest, go to www.avivacommunityfund.org/ ideas/acf17294 where votes can be cast through a Facebook account or through setting up an account on Aviva. Watch for polling stations set up by Hospice downtown starting this weekend as an alternate way of casting a vote. For help with voting, contact the Hospice Society at 250-286-1121. Qualifying rounds run from now until Nov. 25, with the top 30 from each price category moving on to the semi-finals which run Dec. 2-Dec. 11. A panel of judges then chooses one winner from each category between Dec. 18 and Jan. 27.

injured hiker off Mt. Arrowsmith. Campbell River members also joined in the huge search for two overdue hikers who failed to return on time from their trip to Mt. Albert Edward in Strathcona Provincial Park. For four days, Jean-Simon Lessard, 22, and Christopher Yao, 31, were stranded in bad weather near Moat Lake, just a few kilometres away from their intended destination. The two Victoria men had apparently been warned about impeding bad weather when they set out on their hike last Friday, but ignored the advice. It wasn’t long before a storm hit, bringing high winds, frigid temperatures, snow and fog to the alpine region, and the two men realized they were headed the wrong way. Fortunately, the two experienced hikers hunkered down and were found in good shape Wednesday. The search involved RCMP and military helicopters from CFB Comox, along with a private chopper, and several well-trained searchers who hiked through waist-deep snow and the extreme weather. “There is a whole community of search and rescue groups throughout Vancouver Island who will come out and bolster any group requiring help from trained volunteers,” said Tim Fairbank, who took part in the search. Campbell River Search and Rescue is recruiting new members right now for a training program beginning in early 2014. For more information visit www.crsar. ca

Funeral director says items at cemetery turning people away Kristen Douglas Campbell RiveR miRRoR
Funeral director Sandy Poelvoorde says more and more people have been declining to use Elk Falls Cemetery because of the clutter of mementos on grave sites. But she hopes that will change as the city implements a clean-up plan to remove all the items other than flowers. “If the city wants to start a clean-up, we’re 100 per cent behind them,” says Poelvoorde, funeral director and owner of Boyd’s Funeral Services in Campbell River. “People in the last year have not been too keen on being interred up there (Elk Falls Cemetery) because of the state. I have had families decline to have loved ones interred up there because of the state so this is good news for us. More people have been going to the Courtenay civic cemetery than before.” Poelvoorde says the problem with Elk Falls is the adornments people leave behind sometimes become safety hazards. “People are putting anything from whirligigs to mason jars to candles to solar lights, which look really lovely at night,” Poelvoorde says. “Unfortunately, when the wind blows they scatter. The sun’s UV breaks down the plastics and they become hard, jagged pieces, and hooks from the solar

A few days into the city’s phased approach to remove mementos other than flowers placed on grave sites and several adornments still grace Elk Falls Cemetery.
lights – when they fall down, they become a tripping hazard. In the summer, some of the glass jars with candles become lovely glass prisms and you’ve got dry, dry conditions and they become a fire hazard. It’s just little things people don’t think about and that they shouldn’t be thinking about; they should be thinking about their loved one.” But some of the objects are particularly difficult to navigate around when it snows and Poelvoorde
says during burials it can add to an already stressful situation. The adornments also present challenges for the cemetery maintenance crews which are contracted out by the city. “You can’t mow over hunks of plastic, you can’t mow over glass and you can’t mow over whirligigs,” Poelvoorde says. Ross Milnthorp, the city’s general manager of parks, recreation and culture, says the city has always had a bylaw in place to protect the pub-
lic from potential safety hazards created by such adornments, but the city has not been enforcing the bylaw. Recent complaints and concerns from cemetery staff, funeral directors, and even cemetery plot owners prompted the city to begin a ninemonth phased approach to removing the adornments, starting October 1. “We recognize that people want to show respect and love for those interred in the cemetery,
and that they have strong attachment to the grave adornments,” Milnthorp says. “Staff will make changes with caring and sensitivity and a ninemonth grace period will be in place for people to remove existing grave adornments that do not comply with the bylaw.” Any mementos not

ing bylaws,” Poelvoorde says. “Most people we’ve talked to seem very glad that it’s going to get a clean-up.” And Poelvoorde points out that every cemetery plot owner would have signed an interment agreement with the city which lays out all the restrictions. Poelvoorde says with the city cutting down on adornments, it’s the perfect opportunity for the municipality to come up with some alternate ways for people to memorialize their loved ones. She envisions pieces such as a scattering garden, a water feature, a niche wall for aboveground resting places or some other form of a columbarium (upright stone or granite structures for multiple urns), a green burial space, or an upright marker section.

removed by plot owners as of July 1, 2014 will be removed by city staff, tagged and stored at the Dogwood Operations Centre for up to one year to be claimed by family members. Objects no longer allowed at grave sites include: ceramics, statues, lanterns, mason jars, candles, fences, glass, benches or rocks. Loved ones will also no longer be able to plant trees, shrubs, plants, flowers or bulbs in the cemetery. Fresh flowers are allowed from March to November and artificial flowers are only permitted from November to March. Poelvoorde says so far she has only heard a positive response to the city’s enforcement. “We’ve heard lots of positive feedback; we’ve heard nothing negative about the city enforc-

Project aims to promote healthy Cortes library to open by November food supply for Strathcona region Kristen Douglas Campbell RiveR miRRoR
Cortes Islanders who have been waiting for more than a year for their library to re-open will have to wait just one month longer. Vancouver Island Regional Library says the re-located library is expected to open in mid-November on Cortes which has been without a library building for nearly a year and a half. Since that time, islanders wanting to use the library have had to settle for a temporary holds location to return and pick up materials requested online through Vancouver Island Regional Library’s online system. Natasha Bartlett, marking and communications director for Vancouver Island Regional Library, said the new library will be more than just a simple re-location. “This new branch offers customers a designated children’s computer filled with educational and fun-filled software that promotes literacy, study tables, a new and enhanced collection, public access to computers and comfortable lounge seating,” Bartlett said. “While the branch will be open to the public November 2013, an official opening celebration is planned for early-mid year 2014.” Vancouver Island Regional Library is still waiting on some internal changes to be com-

plete inside the new location – the former Linnaea Farm school building – that are necessary to accommodate the library before the doors can open. For Cortes Islanders, the new facility has been a long-time coming since the regional library unexpectedly shut down the original Cortes branch in May 2012 due to concerns the floor may collapse. Regional librar y closed the branch, which was operating out of the community hall in Manson’s Landing, after a safety inspector found the mezzanine floor was not strong enough to bear the weight of the library books. Linnaea Farm stepped up to the plate and offered to house the library in the Twinflower wing – built in 2006 – of the alternative school which was closed in 2010 due to declining enrolment. Brenda Leigh, Area D director and vicechair of the Vancouver Island Regional Library board, said Cortes is just one of eight new libraries opening this fall and municipalities and regional districts should be taking the opportunity to invest in new libraries. “We should be jumping on the opportunities because the libraries are re-vitalizing communities,” Leigh said. “It really moves your community forward so I’m really encouraging everyone to keep mov-
ing forward with these library plans.” Quadra Island has recently seen such a success story. Since relocating the library to Quathiaski Cove just more than a year ago, the number of visitors to the library has almost doubled, library membership has risen 24 per cent, participation rates in programs have nearly tripled and computer usage has gone up 175 per cent. Jim Abram, director representing Quadra Island, said since the move from Heriot Bay there’s been “phenomenal use” of the library and he’s asking Vancouver Island Regional Library to consider opening the library one extra day a week, possibly on Mondays. Campbell River is fourth on a priority list for new libraries but the city has looked into bumping itself up if it can provide the land.

North Island College and Vancouver Island Health are teaming up to ensure the region’s local food supply remains stable and sustainable. The two organizations have launched the Strathcona Food Security project to identify current assets and gaps in established community programs aimed at improving food security in the district. The project would also work to create a community food atlas, a one-stop shop to find locally grown food in the community. Cynthia Bendickson, a co-ordinator of the project, made a presentation to the Strathcona Regional District board last week to explain the importance of the project. “Food safety is one component of food security but it also looks at sufficiency and nutrition and ensures there is access to food that meets

our dietary needs and is culturally appropriate,” Bendickson said. As part of the project, Vancouver Island Health, formerly the Vancouver Island Health Authority, will provide roughly $10,000 to $15,000 annually to what’s called a food hub. The goal is to build a food security hub in the Strathcona Regional District which would oversee existing food security programs and provide support for established programs to network with one another and build on what they’re already
doing. “The hubs provide co-ordination and leadership for collective action,” Bendickson said. The group plans to have completed a study by December 2013 to determine whether a food security networking hub is feasible for the region. The study will look at things like which existing organization could take on the role of the food security hub, which organizations would sit on a food action committee and whether or not Vancouver Island Health’s hub

model would address any identified needs in the region. The action plan, which would actually build on the needs and address any gaps identified in a needs assessment is expected to be complete by March 2014. As part of the Food Security project, a public survey will be available in the next few weeks on the project website at http:// strathconafoodsecurity. wordpress.com/ A series of stakeholder workshops will be held in late October and early November.

Our View
Litterbugs fill us with despair Last weekend’s presentation of the City of Campbell River Stewardship Awards reminds us of all the great things many Campbell Riverites are doing to preserve our gorgeous local We say: There is environment. But the visit last month of the no excuse for the Canadive expedition reminds us that trash tossed into we have a lot still to do. The Canadive expedition is a diving couple travelling McIvor Lake the country cleaning up various aquatic environments. McIvor Lake was their target during their visit here as they joined an annual effort by the local
SCUBA diving community, lead by Beaver Aquatics, to clean up the bottom of the lake. And boy does it need it. This year Canadive and local people who joined them, hauled 484 pounds of garbage from the bottom of McIvor Lake, mostly from the Doggie Point area. That 484 pounds constituted 159 golf balls, 679 aluminum cans and 414 glass bottles. “By weight, it was the most trash we collected anywhere,” said Canadive found Charlotte Rydlund. Anywhere. In the country. Maybe in addition to the Stewardship Awards we should hand out the Slob Awards and give it to ourselves.
Or, more correctly, give it to the people who still think it’s alright to toss your pop can or beer bottle into the lake or take your trusty driver out to beach and whack a few golf balls into the water. Is there any justifiable reason for throwing trash into the lake? Any lake. Besides just being disgusting on its own terms, throwing trash into McIvor Lake doubles the affront by stint of this body of water connects to our drinking water supply. How stupid can people be? Thank goodness there are people like the Stewardship Award winners who do good work because the behaviour of other people fills us with despair.

Article well-researched
Re: Utility regulator’s reading on smart meters (Campbell River Mirror, Sept. 25, 2013). I totally agree with your well-researched article on RF watt hour meters. While I am not an expert on meters, I have spent my entire working career in the radio communications sphere. I started in 1948 and eventually got posted to Washington, DC, where I served on the IRAC. We researched all types of RF radiation and found that some were harmful; like a 250,000 watt TV station on a mountain top with a nice parking lot for tourists within the primary field. Some eight-watt output handheld handy talkies were also too close to the eyeball when used, so we recommended having them on your belt with a remote mike. It worked. Now the physics of RF radiation are that it only heats up a conductive body. The near field is reduced as the cube of the distance away. You double the distance and the intensity goes down by eight times. A cell phone with its tiny transmitter will heat up the body about the same amount as a candle at arm’s length. Nobody is going to sleep on top of an RF watthour meter using it as a pillow. The problem is that everybody understands canles. Continued on Pg. 9

Why is a big bully telling the rest of us how to behave?
Paul Rudan No, really
Attention all employers, you now have 27 days to establish a new policy for workplace bullying and harassment, or face the heavy hand of Work Safe B.C. If you noticed the irony in that statement, good, because it’s just so ironic that one of the biggest bullies in the province is going to dictate anti-bullying policy to the rest of us. For those of you who missed Wednesday’s information session at the Pan Pacific Hotel in Vancouver – h’mm, some of us do have to work – stakeholders and media were given the lowdown on what’s expected. I couldn’t attend so I went online and read this definition of bullying and harassment as defined by Work Safe under its Occupational Health and Safety policy:
a. includes any inappropriate conduct or comment by a person towards a worker that the person knew or reasonably ought to have known would cause that worker to be humiliated or intimidated, but b. excludes any reasonable action taken by an employer or supervisor relating to the management and direction of workers or the place of employment. Got that? Yes, I know, clear as muck. Most of us understand that Work Safe is trying to educate the working public that bullying and harassment are unacceptable. I’ve always taken that as a given and am fortunate to work in an environment where people behave with courtesy and professionalism towards others. Others, I know, aren’t so fortunate, but
I wouldn’t be relying on Work Safe BC to “save the day” if you’re working in a bad place. In its own outline, Work Safe states there is no planned “enforcement blitz.” Rather, the provincial body will respond to enquires and complaints – but not all – and will rely on inspectors to ferret out the workplace bullies. As well, a “victim” first needs to file an in-house report before any action, if any, is taken by Work Safe. Geez, I wonder how that will go over when you hand the complaint to the supervisor who’s named in the same report? The other difficulty I have in Work Safe overseeing all this is its own track record. As our editor so charmingly put it, “Have you ever heard of a good story about someone filing a Work Safe
claim?” I’ve written and read far too many stories about injured workers who feel “bullied” by Work Safe in regard to how they’re treated by case workers, the massive amount of paperwork they’re expected to complete when they’re not well, or even Work Safe’s overruling of family doctors’ advise for their own patients. In the end, I would rather have Work Safe inspectors looking for unsafe practices that can result in real physical harm to employees. This is a tangible goal and that’s what they do best. But now, to ask them to determine who said what, or even someone’s mental state, well, that’s something that even the judicial system has trouble deciding. paulr@campbellrivermirror.com

More to it than crazy right-wing Republicans Alistair Taylor’s column on America’s universal healthcare being the “new red scare” shows his lack of investigative journalism. He is merely repeating the uninformed comment that is spun out by much of the Canadian press. As a Canadian who lives half the year in the U.S., I have found there
is much more to the issue than the convenient Canadian explanation that “it’s those crazy right wing Republicans trying to stop the poor and downtrodden from receiving medical care.” Yes there are crazy right wingers in the U.S. and there are also crazy left wingers, but the majority of U.S. citizens do not understand the
new healthcare proposal. This includes the politicians who passed the more than 2000 page act without reading it. House minority leader Nancy Pelosi, made the comment “We will need to pass it to see what’s in it”. There are a number of problems, such as substantial increases in medical costs for most people, the ability for
members of congress and some businesses to opt out, and the huge bureaucracy required to implement an unknown system at an unknown cost, while the U.S. is already trillions of dollars in debt, with no plan to address it. The majority of Republicans favour a one year moratorium to allow time to see what’s in the
bill and what is the fairest way to implement it. Democrats are worried that they might lose control of the senate next year, and therefore control of the healthcare plan. No matter which view you favour, it has nothing to do with a “red scare”, unless you are a journalist still living in the fifties. Ron Runte
I would like to thank the City of Campbell River, the Parks Department and those behind the scenes (you know who you are) that have taken the steps needed to clean up the two cemeteries in the city. You all deserve to be congradulated on a job well
done. Everyone involved knows how hard it is to lose someone and the feeling of needing to do something to remember them by. Over the course of years this has taken many different shapes and styles in the cemeteries here in town and has left unintentionly a
safety concern for city staff, funeral home workers and the general public. I am sure other towns and cities are faced with the same problem. Campbell River has taken the lead and will enforce its bylaws and bring ours up to the standard and safety it deserves. A
place where all can go to be close to the ones they lost without the look of clutter and disarray as it is now in. I am sure these other towns and cities will take notice of what the city will be doing, how it is being done and will in some way follow suit. I too will be keeping
an eye on the process as well and will hold the city accountable that it follows though what it has said it will do. A place of peace and beauty for those we left in care of to the city. Thank you again to all. Lorne Novak Campbell River

Very few people understand radio frequency transmitters so they are fearful. I found that the book, The Culture of Fear, by Barry Glassman, has a good explanation of how special interest groups control the stage and make money by instilling fear into the public. Another good book is The Signal and the Noise. Politicians make a lot of noise, like TV celebrities, advertising, etc. It’s very difficult to find the signal when it is obscured by noise. In the radio communications, we are very cognisant about selecting the desired signal from the noise. Thanks for your article. Bruce Jacobsen Cortes Island

If the private travel insurer is the second payor, or what is sometimes called “excess insurance”, then you might find that your ICBC benefit entitlement will be used to pay your U.S. medical bills.

Strathcona Gardens governors want to team up with Campbell River Minor Hockey to purchase a new score clock for Arena 2. The existing clock is 17 years old and the lights are failing, said Russ Hotsenpiller, the chief administrative officer of the Strathcona Regional District. “It is an older model that uses incandescent bulbs that resemble the older 110 volt Christmas lights,” said Hotsenpiller in the report to the Strathcona Gardens Commission. “Each of these bulbs screw into a socket base and staff are currently experiencing failures with individual bulbs. The controllers that run the score clock from the timekeepers booth have also required servicing each year at an approximate cost of $400 annually.” Campbell River Minor Hockey Association is proposing it go in 50/50 with the regional district to purchase a new $10,000 clock. “A new score clock would benefit not only Campbell River Minor Hockey Association players, but it would also benefit other user groups,” said Alan Barker, president of Campbell River Minor Hockey in a letter to the

commission. The offer to split the cost of the clock came across the table at the Strathcona Gardens Commission meeting last month and the commission is recommending the regional district (which it operates under) approve spending $5,000 from unspent 2013 capital project money. Josie Rohne, Strathcona Gardens manager, said in a report to the commission that to replace the existing clock with the same model would cost less than $5,000 but the offer from Minor Hockey allows the regional district to improve its equipment. “We have an oppor-

years and a much larger and clearer clock for the community to view,” Rohne said. The existing clock was installed at Strathcona
Gardens in 1996 when Arena 2 was built. It was donated to Strathcona Gardens and at that time, was valued at roughly $3,000.

Not only was I not aware, I had never considered this question in relation to a new driver. I do touch on it briefly in the driving seminar that I do with Vancouver Island University’s Elder College program but I had always thought about it in terms of end stage diabetic health problems. Difficulty with eyesight, nerve damage and peripheral circulation problems do interfere with someone’s ability to drive safely but are more common in the elderly. The challenge for a new driver would be a hypoglycemic incident. They may be inexperienced with the effects of an episode which can cause you to feel dizzy, shaky, or disoriented. In fact, a hypoglycemic driver could be mistaken for an alcohol or drug impaired driver. Worse still, depressed central nervous system activity can result in a hypoglycemic driver failing to decide not to drive. A responsible driver, new or experienced, will recognize that certain health issues can jeopardize their ability to drive safely. Until they are confident managing the effects of disease and taking into account the advice of their doctor, will choose not to drive. The health of all road users will depend on them.

Blanchard and Zach Tillapaugh. A number of good scoring chances were created and Mainstream Canada took a comfortable 4-0 lead at halftime. Goal scorers in the first half included Jepson, Grootenboer, Kevin Shelswell and Patrick Cullen. In the second half, Campbell River continued to assert their dominance with Shelswell and Cullen leading the attack. Shane Berry and Cody Dodge provided some great overlapping runs and they each found the back of the net. Blanchard also scored
in the second half and Shelswell converted another chance for his second goal of the game. Colton Reesor and Aidan Anderson anchored the defense and met all challenges that came their way. Shane Dumanoir had few shots to stop in the Campbell River goal but was adept in handling and distributing the ball from the back. Overall it was a very convincing win for Mainstream Canada with a final score of 8-0. They look forward to playing their next game in Victoria on October 13th against Vic West Causuals.

Mainstream Masters dominate Saanich On a blustery Sunday afternoon at Willow Pt.

The Campbell River side went into the game tied at the top of the standings with a record of 1 win and 1 draw.

Timberline bumps, sets and spikes their way to gold The Timberline Senior Girls Volleyball Team won gold at the 36 team VIU Invitational on the weekend. The tournament featured several teams from the Lower Mainland and Island. The Wolves played seven matches without dropping a single set all weekend. In round robin play, Timberline defeated Cowichan 25-9; 25-5, Nanaimo Christian 25-8;25-6 and Gulf Islands 25-7;257. Though the matches were quite one-sided, we tried to focus on our style of play which is aggressive and celebratory, no matter what the competition was like.

round which featured the top 2 teams from each of
the 8 Round Robin Pools. In the first round, we met Belmont of Victoira and beat them two straight 25-18;25-14. This match was more competitive. Belmont is one of those teams that is dynamic and aggressive. Nicole Herbert set both games and did a good job running the offense. Power hitter, Sarah Chase, led the team in kills, followed by Right Side,Megan Turko. In the quarter-final, we played St Thomas Aquinas from North Vancouver. STA is a quick team and we had some great rallies with them. Tommi Corder set this match and did a great job finding her hitters. Middles Farryn Elhorn, Ana Christensen and Kaitlyn Herbert were
strong in the blocking department. In the semifinal we met our strongest competition, York House from Vancouver. They have three provincial team players and the match was very exciting to watch. At one point in the first set we were down by 6 points but rallied back to win 26-24; 25-20. Libero’s (back row defensive specialists), Ray-Ann Caffery and Aryn Murray did a great job keeping the rallies alive for us. In the final against Cedar we were very aggressive on both defense and offense and beat them 25-17;25-13.

A Look Back
THE HISTORY OF THE CAMPBELL RIVER AREA Preserving food for the cold months ahead INTO
CATHERINE GILBERT MUSEUM AT CAMPBELL RIVER
W
ith the harvest season on our doorstep, thoughts turn to gathering and preserving food for the colder days ahead. In this area, the abundance of wild fish, game and berries meant that First Nations people spent many hours occupied with preparing food so that it would last into the winter months, and settlers who came in the late 1800s brought their traditions of food preservation with them. One of the most important food sources for the people of this coast has been seafood, and predominantly salmon. “Processing the salmon harvest has been going on for hundreds of years, “ said William Sovde, longtime logger. “Natives dried it for their own use and for trading, and early settlers salted it.” Eulachon (smelt) was also prized by the early inhabitants in this region. The Native peoples rendered the nutrient rich oil from eulachons into a grease, the medicinal properties of which would ward off colds and flu. A traditional method of preparing the oil was to fill a pit or box with the fish, allow the fish to decay for a week or two, then add boiling water so that the grease would rise to the top and be skimmed off. The flavourful oil could be eaten with bread, or if left at room temperature, would solidify like butter and be consumed with other fish or berries. Pioneer Florence Tickner remembered that when the eulachon run started, her family ate the fish fresh until they couldn’t eat any more. “Preserving food in those days often presented a chal-
lenge… Mother used jars and put up berries, salmon, deer meat and deer stew. Many people had a smoke house, and smoked salmon, cod, halibut, deer and eulachon.” From Scotland came the idea of covering fish in a brine (a combination of brown demerara sugar and pickling salt, sometimes with the addition of flavourings like maple syrup or whiskey) before it was smoked. Early settlers found many familiar berries in the region: blackberries, huckleberries, salmonberries, blueberries, saskatoons and wild strawberries, and they were also introduced to the value of other berries such as the fruit of salal and Oregon grape by the native population. Native women prepared berries by steaming or boiling them, then placing them in cedar frames to dry slowly over a fire. (Raincoast Kitchen). These would be formed into cakes for keeping and later eating. Pioneer women were accustomed to preserving with glass jars, but these were a rare commodity. “We used whiskey bottles,” recalls one woman. “We had to sterilize them, then we tied a string around the bottom of the neck of each bottle, dipped that in coal oil and set it alight, then plunged the bottle into a pail of cold water. Usually the neck snapped off neatly.” (Women of British Columbia). Many vegetables were pickled, and cabbage could be fermented and made into sauerkraut, a tradition brought west by German and Eastern European settlers. Captain Cook believed that sauerkraut was a ‘cure-all’ and made it a staple aboard ship in the late 1700s. Delicacies like chantrelle mushrooms and other edible mushrooms, abundant in the west coast rainforest, could

be dried by hanging them in strings over a wood stove. Today, many food preparation techniques have been continued or revived, despite the advent of refrigerators and freezers. Numerous people in the present day still smoke or jar fish and wild meat, pick mushrooms and berries and make jam because they enjoy the process and enjoy the taste of food that is both wild and prepared by hand. Many of us take pleasure in giving and receiving gifts of food made from favourite recipes for preserving, and with Thanksgiving around the corner, we can be thankful that much of the wild fare our forefathers in this area enjoyed is still available to us today. Several old fashioned recipes for preserving food can be found in Raincoast Kitchen, a book produced by the Museum at Campbell River that is available at the Museum Shop and in the Archives.

Additional traffic pattern changes at Campbell River Hospital entrance Site work to prepare for the new $266 million, 95-bed Campbell River Hospital will lead to some traffic disruption around the existing Campbell River Hospital main entrance on 2nd Avenue October 10th and 11th, weather permitting. Please see attached image. On Thursday October 10th, the lane between the east and west parking lots will be closed. During this time, traffic control workers will help motorists enter and exit both parking lots. On Friday October 11th, the lane and the west parking lot will be closed to allow paving of a new Ambulance Access Route around the Sunshine Wellness Centre. Traffic control workers will help motorists enter and exit the east parking lot. This work may lead to brief delays entering and exiting the main entrance parking lot. Please take this into account and allow additional time for your hospital visit. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and we thank you in advance for your cooperation and understanding. Please remember that two new hospital parking lots are now open, offering 140 new parking stalls, off 2nd Avenue just west of Yucalta Lodge, near the Dogwood Street intersection.

Merino wool sweaters and shirts offer soft, reliable warmth and keep on insulating even when wet. Fleece is a great insulator but it’s main drawback is it’s bulk. Keep in mind that when riding, your body generates a lot of heat and most of these materials are available in various thicknesses. The shell: This is very important in our climate and protects you from wind, rain and snow. Most modern shells allow at least some perspiration to escape; virtually all are treated with a durable water repellent finish to make water bead up and roll off the fabric. Without proper ventilation, perspiration can’t evaporate but instead condenses on the inside of your shell. Laminated membranes such as as Gore-Tex and eVent offer top performance but are expensive, fabric coatings are a more economical alternative.

for cold, wet conditions, but not as versatile for layering in fluctuating temperatures. Other very important clothing accessories for the winter include a toque or skull cap, worn under your helmet, for extreme cold it should cover your ears. Gloves come in various styles and materials, five finger gloves give
you more dexterity but are the coldest, mitts are warmest but you lose finger functionality. Three finger “Lobster Claws” are a good compromise. Have a few pairs of gloves available as conditions and temperatures dictate. Shoe covers: Keep your feet dry and warm. Again, these come in different materials and thicknesses. Thin, nylon
covers are convenient, are windproof but not always waterproof. Neoprene shoe covers are the driest, and warmest but they are bulky and a bit of a pain to put on and remove. Next time we’ll discuss winter accessories for the bike. Steve can be found at Outdoor addictions: www.outdooraddictions. ca

You can’t help but have fun when you mix Sin, Sex and the CIA. That’s the title of the ridiculously funny comedy that Rivercity Players has chosen as the opening show for its newly renovated little theatre on Hemlock Street. “The first time I directed this play was for ex-pat audiences in Saudi Arabia,” says director Gail Tisdale. “The laughter never stopped so I thought it was worth trying it in Campbell River.” The story revolves around a secret meeting that the Americans are trying to arrange with a representative from the Chagos Islands, where oil has been discovered. The meeting is to take place in an out-of-theway safe house in the mountains of Virginia. Naturally, attention has to be paid to security, and this job has been given to a really enthusiastic, but totally incompetent, CIA agent Luke James (played by Matt Storie). He sets a number of inventive traps around
the cottage – and manages to get caught in all of them! Daniel Warren (Robert Hall), an ex-marine, is the caretaker of the safe house and has very little time or patience for the CIA. He calls it the Complete Idiots Academy. On top of having to cope with Luke, he finds he has to put up with the libido-driven Assistant Secretary of State, Margaret Johnson (Christina Peterson). Enter the Reverend Samuel Abernathy (Andy Peterson), whose

Decipher the corporate message had to make a decision, and in that moment, they knew that the messages of corporations were affecting their choice in negative or unhealthy ways. The audience chooses the story that resonates the most and the cast brings that story to the stage. But first they need to agree on branding. Which corporations are present in the space that night? Identifying the brand helps to understand the character as well as the messaging. The chosen moment is then theatricalized on stage and David Diamond (in the role of Joker/facilitator) freezes the scene in a moment when the “corporate voices” appear to be present in the storyteller (the Protagonist). The Protagonist is then asked to identify what the loudest voice is saying, and to make a physical shape to represent that message. An audience member, who recognizes that message from inside his or her own experience, volunteers to become that shape on stage and develop the shape into a character. That character becomes the “voice of a corporation.” Another voice and another volunteer. We enter a very metaphoric space, yet space that has practical meaning in our lives. Using interactive techniques, if an audience member has an idea of how to disarm or evict a voice from “occupying” a space in our collective

psyche, the audience member yells, “stop”. They then enter the playing area and, taking the place of the Protagonist, try their idea. The audience member portraying a “voice of a corporation” responds authentically as a character taken from inside our heads, now in physical form on the stage, that is affecting our decision-making. They work through the voices one by one, peeling layers of complexity away as they go, exploring tactics to deal with the voices. This, in Augusto Boal’s words is one of many ways that “the theatre can make the invisible visible.” Who is The Joker: David Diamond cofou nd e d He a d l i ne s Theatre (now Theatre for Living) in 1981 and has directed over 500 c om mu n it y - sp e c i f i c projects on issues such as racism, civic engagement, violence, addiction, street youth, intergenerational conflict and homelessness. He has worked throughout Canada, the USA and Europe, as well as
in Namibia, New Zealand, Australia, Brazil, Rwanda, Palestine and Singapore, and has pioneered the development of live, interactive Forum television and web casting. He is the originator of Theatre for Living, a merging of Augusto Boal’s Theatre of the Oppressed, and his own lifelong interest in systems theory. Theatre for Living recognizes communities are complexly integrated living organisms and invites them to engage in constructive social change, moving from various forms of violence to respectful engagement. For more about David Diamond, visit: http:// www.theatreforliving. com/staff.htm Corporations in Our Heads will be performed Thursday, Oct. 24 at 7 p.m., in the NIC Theatre, Campbell River Campus (1685 South Dogwood Street) and on Friday Oct, 25, 2013 at 7 p.m., in Stan Hagen Theatre, Comox Valley Campus, North Island College, 2300 Ryan Road, Courtenay.

Messages from corporations tell us hundreds of times a day, in ways we may not notice anymore, how to relate to each other and to ourselves. They tell us what to buy, how to feel, how to perceive and the kind of person to aspire to be. Can we use the theatre to become aware of these messages and to change our relationships to them, to live healthier and more sustainable lives with each other, with ourselves, and with the planet? Corporations in our Heads BC hopes to be more than just an investigation – they have a desire for Corporations in our Heads to move into transformative action! How? By making each event relevant, at a grassroots level, to each unique community in which it happens and for the local organizers to use that momentum to move forward on local community issues. Each event is the community’s creation. This is a touring a process in which the whole evening of theatre emerges from the audience. Sounds heavy, but it’s a great deal of fun. So, what does this process look like? Corporations in our Heads has evolved from Augusto Boal’s (founder of the Theatre of the Oppressed) technique “Cops in the Head.” It works like this: After a short warm-up, the audience is asked to offer stories out of their own experiences; stories in which the story teller
