Wrong again, mayor says of roadwork Kristen Douglas Campbell RiveR miRRoR
“They’ve done it wrong.” St. Ann’s may be freshly paved, have some fancy new rock work and new underground pipes but a new curb has the mayor – and some bus drivers – unimpressed. Not long after the city re-opened St. Ann’s, drivers noticed some faults – namely the new corner at the bottom of St. Ann’s and Shoppers Row that sticks out into the roadway. The curb presents a problem for large vehicles, particularly city buses that can’t make the corner when turning right off of Shoppers Row onto St. Ann’s. One transit driver, who did not want to be named, said that buses have to turn into the oncoming lefthand turn lane on St. Ann’s in order to make the corner without hitting the curb. He said if there’s a vehicle sitting at the light waiting to turn left onto Shoppers, the buses have to wait before making their right turn on to St. Ann’s. He said it’s gotten to the point that some drivers, after leaving the Community Centre, go over to Roberts Reach (beside McDonald’s), then turn right onto the highway to go straight through the lights and onto St. Ann’s. Mayor Walter Jakeway said he supports the drivers and agrees there’s a problem. “The bus company is absolutely correct,” Jakeway said. “For $4 million it should be better. It should be better and it’s wrong. To build it with safety hazards is just foolishness. They better not do the same thing on Alder Street (which is currently undergoing construction).”

The newly-minted St. Ann’s roadwork is generating controversy after buses were forced to make a wide turn manouevre from Shoppers Row in order to negotiate a section of sidewalk jutting out into the roadway.
Jakeway sent an e-mail to council on Sept. 11 suggesting the layout of the curbs and islands may need to be changed before paving.
“Council was warned four weeks ago,” said Jakeway, who noted he issued another warning a week before the road was paved. “I said
‘this isn’t going to work.’” The city, though, says nothing is a done deal. “We are still in the middle of con-

Mayor: It’s like deja vu all over again aspects still need to be added, incorporated, aligned or considered.” But Jakeway said he’s not aware of any plans to change or remove the wide curb which he said is there to accommodate the widened sidewalk and the double row of trees which will be planted. “Council needs to make a big noise and the public needs to make a big noise,” Jakeway said.

“It’s foolishness. So they should yell and scream and maybe they’ll make the roads wider.” Jakeway said the situation is reminiscent of Highway 19A. After the newly paved portion of the highway was unveiled, the fire department was quick to point out that the road was too narrow for the fire trucks to pass safely during an emergency. “It’s just deja vu all over again,” Jakeway said. “I don’t know why they’re so hung up on squeezing the road. If it was me, I would make the lanes wider.” The upg rades on St.Ann’s are part of the city’s $4.05 downtown revitalization project to overhaul the city’s underground water, sewer and storm drainage pipes as well as improve the aesthetics of the area with new trees, wider sidewalks, street lights, benches and boulevards. Alder Street, between 10th Avenue and Beech Street, is currently closed for improvements.

Minister announces speed limit review Jeff Nagel BLACk PRESS
Transportation Minister Todd Stone wants B.C. residents to weigh in on a potential increase in highway speed limits now under consideration. Stone announced the formal review of speed limits Friday in Kamloops although he had previously indicated it was coming and technical work is already underway. The Coquihalla Highway already has a speed limit of 110 kilometres per hour but traffic there does an average speed of 118, while drivers routinely exceed the posted limit of 90 or 100 on many other provincial highways. “There’s no question the Coquihalla is a prime candidate for an adjustment in the speed limit,” Stone said, also listing sections of Highway 1 in the Lower Mainland and around Kamloops as well as the Cariboo Connector towards Prince George. It’s been a decade since B.C. last reviewed speed limits. Stone said any increases would involve mainly rural provincial highways between communities, not highways in urban areas of the Lower Mainland, although which specific corridors to adjust will be subject to public input. He said a higher speed limit along some stretches of highway has been made possible by billions of dollars in major road upgrades since the last review in 2003, including 180 additional kilometres of four- or six-lane highway. He also said vehicles are “much safer today than 10 years ago” as a result of traction stability control, anti-lock brakes and other improvements. Stone cited a 28 per cent drop in injury-causing collisions since 2003. And he said research increasingly suggests the greatest danger isn’t necessarily speeding itself, but driving at a much different speed than most other drivers.

Band members clash over separation and land
www.CampbellRiverMirror.com www.CampbellRivermirror.com
Paul Rudan Campbell RiveR miRRoR
Wounds linger from a 19th century massacre that displaced the tribes of Gilford Island. More than 150 years later, the wrongs of the past have resurfaced resulting in a stand-off over title, land, resources and cash. On Saturday morning, things came to a head on the Campbell River Indian Band Reserve when more than 100 First Nations people from Northern Vancouver Island staged a peaceful protest in front of the Thunderbird Hall. “It pains me to be here…the family who we’re speaking to are closely related and I love them,” said Chief Wedlidi Speck. “This is really challenging…but I need to stand here and I need to stand for truth.” Chiefs and representatives from bands stretching from Campbell River to the northern tip of the Island, stood together to protest the division of two tribes, initiated by the Sewid family. It all goes back to a horrific incident, in or about 1856, when Bella Coola warriors paddled south to Kingcome Inlet and massacred residents living on Gilford Island. As a result, the survivors were displaced to other communities, with the majority, about

50 people, choosing to live with relatives and friends at Mamalilikulla on nearby Village Island. After that, the historic record becomes complicated, but both sides in the present-day dispute say they have history on their side. “This division is being sought in order to rectify a historic wrong perpetrated by the federal government when they illegally amalgamated the Mamalilikulla and the Wiumasgum Qwe’Qwa’Sot’Em people,” wrote Chief Harold Sewid on June 24, 2013, in an open letter to band members. In short, Chief Sewid has initiated a process
with Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada to separate the two bands. It’s a goal, he said, that was started 50 years ago by his grandfather and then his father. If approv e d , t h e n e w Wi u m a s g u m Qwe’Qwa’Sot’Em nation would be seeking reserve lands and $1 million from a claim settlement that’s been sitting in trust. Chief Sewid is hoping to hold a referendum to decide the issue, but the next step is undecided after more than 100 people showed up to protest the split. “You can get into a war of words very eas-

ily,” Chief Sewid told the Mirror on Tuesday. “These are all my family and relatives. It would just upset a lot of things.” His next step is to consult with legal counsel. However, the proposed split has angered others who assert that Chief Sewid and his family do not have, according to researcher Mike Willie, “legitimate right to the name, history and land…” “The Sewid family is claiming the history, lands and authority of a nation that already exists – this is identity theft,” Willie wrote in a backgrounder handed out at Saturday’s protest. Willie said the bands

opposed to the split have been shut out of the federal process and have been apparently told, by Chief Sewid, that it’s none of their business. The protestors, however, take the opposite view and point out the merger will unfairly take away land – including a sacred cave – and resources. “The reason we’re so angry is they claim we’re squatters on Gilford Island and that’s not true,” Willie said in a phone interview Monday night. “We need a process to refute their research and they need to stop it!” paulr@campbellrivermirror.com

Joyce Evelyn Bennie

MCCALL MCCALL 2X7 2X7
It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Joyce Bennie who went peacefully surrounded by the love of her family on September 13, 2013 at Mount St. Mary in Victoria. Joyce was 92 years old when she passed away and she lived life to its fullest. She always had a smile on her face and a kind word for others. She danced through her life with joy, compassion, and a positive, warm, loving attitude towards her family and those around her. Joyce lived her life fully “in the present” not dwelling on the past or looking towards the future; she was there with you, smiling with you, beside you when you needed her. Joyce gave so much of herself; she was president of the Campbell River Hospital Auxiliary from 19781980, secretary to the provincial president in 1982, then from 1987-1997 she was the auxiliary appointee to the Hospital Board of Trustees. Joyce also volunteered for many years in the thrift shop. Joyce golfed regularly until she was 85 and only stopped because she wanted to dance five nights a week, play cards in the afternoon and take trips with Ray. She never seemed tired and was always upbeat. Those who knew her were blessed. She taught us how to love, how to live in the moment, how to care for others. “When you love someone your whole life, you can be sure their love surrounds you still.” Joyce’s love will surround us all and comfort us with our memories of her. Even in our sadness, we need to smile when we think of her dancing, loving, and caring for all of those around her. Joyce is survived by her loving partner Ray, daughter Linda (Bindon), grandchildren Chantelle and Daniel (Laura), greatgrandchildren Ryder and Koa, sister Jess, sisters-in-laws: Mary, Irene and Julie, and many nieces and nephews. Joyce is predeceased by her parents Dorothy and Albert, her son Ed, husband Chuck, sister Margaret (Bill), brother David, brothersin-law: Bill, Bob, and Earl and sister-in-law Jan. Rest in peace Joyce. Your kindness, patience, amazing spirit and love of life will be with us forever. A celebration of Joyce’s life will be held in Victoria on October 26th at 2 pm at the chapel of St. Michaels University School, 3400 Richmond Road. In lieu of flowers, donations in Joyce’s name to Mount St. Mary Foundation in Victoria. www. msmfoundation.ca or to Campbell River Hospital Auxiliary, 375 - 2nd Ave, Campbell River, BC, V9W 3V1 would be appreciated. Condolences may be offered to the family at www.mccallbros. com McCall’s of Victoria, BC (1-800-870-4210)

City gets voters’ approval to borrow $15 million Kristen Douglas Campbell RiveR miRRoR
The city has gained permission from voters to borrow several millions of dollars to replace
aging water and sewer infrastructure using a process the mayor has called “undemocratic.” The city obtained the approval of electors to proceed with two loan
authorization bylaws after less than 10 per cent of eligible voters were opposed. Taxpayers had roughly one month to oppose the city borrowing $15
million over 15 years by signing an elector response form at city hall. City Clerk Peter Wipper said 751 people submitted forms against the
city borrowing $10.2 million for water projects and 743 people objected to borrowing $4.8 million for sewer works. As the city has 24,010 registered voters, both tal-
lies were low enough for the city to move forward with its borrowing plans; at least 2,401 would have had to object to stop the process. “On the basis of TELUS STORE OR AUTHORIZED DEALER

the elector response forms received, elector approval…has been obtained,” Wipper said in a report to council. While renewing old water and sewer mains are important projects for the city, Mayor Walter Jakeway has had his reservations since budget planning in January. He said city hall “needs to get its costs under control” before going out and borrowing money and he disagreed with how council went about getting the public’s permission. “I don’t agree with the Alternate Approval Process, I don’t believe it’s democratic,” Jakeway said. “Most people don’t even know about it (Alternate Approval) until it’s over. We have an election in a year and a half, put it on there as a referendum question.” The Alternate Approval Process began at the end of August and the deadline for elector response forms was Sept. 23. Council still needs to approve the borrowing for each of the sewer and water projects before any improvements can go ahead. Council was expected to make that decision at Tuesday night’s council meeting after the Mirror went to press. Projects the city wants to complete include a new drinking water system to replace the original which will be decomissioned by BC Hydro once the John Hart upgrade project begins, and water main improvements as well as a water booster pump station, a main chlorine facility upgrade, a Beaver Lodge reservoir expansion, and four sewer projects. Coun. Andy Adams acknowledged at a council meeting in August that upgrading the city’s infrastructure is a priority for council and is an issue facing communities all across Canada. “Upgrading infrastructure is a burning issue all across the country and I think through our long-term planning and strategic priorities, we’ve identified that sewer, water, and roads are important,” Adams said. “This is putting a funding mechanism in place…and also have matching funds in place to seek grant opportunities should they become available.”

Students turned loose on Campbellton neighbourhood Paul Rudan Campbell RiveR miRRoR
In the winter of 2006 this same room was filled with angry Campbellton residents and business owners facing off against local police and politicians. They had gathered at the White Tower Restaurant to voice their displeasure about ongoing criminal activity in their neighbourhoods, a lack of action by RCMP and the city’s reluctance to do anything meaningful about cleaning up or improving Campbell River’s oldest community. A lot has changed in the last five years. Residents say the blatant drug-dealing and prostitution has subsided, and business is picking up too. Things are starting to improve, and mapping out the future is the ad hoc Campbellton Neighbourhood Association described as an “association of residents and business working on positive change for Campbellton village.” “We want to begin by taking a list of small actionable items to city council,” said businessman Brian Shaw, cochair of the association. In contrast to the hostile meeting of 2006, it was a very different atmosphere in the the White Tower last Friday morning. The dining room wasn’t filled, but there were about 15 eager students in the seats, all hoping to contribute to
Campbellton’s future. They’re third-year geography students from Vancouver Island University in Nanaimo, who are also schooled in urban planning. Each year, the class takes on a community-based project where they document problem areas and then provide ideas and possible solutions. “This is so beyond what they would learn in the classroom,” said course instructor Pamela Shaw. “I know you’ll be wildly impressed.” It won’t be easy. There are myriad issues in Campbellton and the city is still reluctant to become fully involved. Shaw says most of the money they’ve received to run the association has come from various grants, including $10,500 from the Real Estate Foundation to bring the students to Campbellton. Shaw is grateful for the help of Ross Blackwell, the city’s land use manager, but mostly the association is on its own. Blackwell has been assisting the association. He describes Campbellton as a community that “has it all.” By that he means a diverse mix of commercial industry, business storefronts, homes and a heavy influx of traffic coming into the neighbourhood from converging highways. He also sees the opportunity with low-cost housing and lots, and great access to river trails and other recreation areas. “It’s super-affordable,”
time visitors. Former city councillor Morgan Ostler whole-heartedly agreed. “It’s a very negative entrance to one of the most beautiful places to
live – a gateway to see all sorts of great things,” she said, “but it’s a rather shabby entrance.” paulr@campbellrivermirror.com

grew up in Montreal and watched as the run-down villages of the city were transformed into vibrant neighbourhoods.
One of the first steps, said Shaw, should be to improve the entrances which leave an unfavourable impression on first-

Our View
Campbellton upgrade slowly moves ahead It’s good to see some money going towards Campbellton Campbell River’s oft-neglected neighbourhood is in desperate need of some upgrading and steps are being taken towards We say: One of that with the announcement this week of the awarding of a $10,500 the city’s oldest Real Estate Foundation grant to the neighbourhoods City of Campbell River to provide a needs attention funding boost for the Campbellton Neighborhood Association’s plans to improve life for people living and working in the area. The money will be used to gather block-by-block information from residents about what they want to
see improved in the area. It’s part of an initiative by the Campbellton Neighbourhood Association to develop an information inventory. It’s another step toward developing a comprehensive community plan for Campbellton, a plan that can’t come soon enough. This area of the city has been bypassed for upgrade funds that have gone to Willow Point and downtown in recent years. Of course, there’s only so much money to go around and we would all love senior levels of government to dump buckets of money on us to fix all of the city’s problems. But that’s not realistic. Still, Campbellton is due some attention when money
becomes available and with an inventory of what the community wants, we would hope a subsequent community plan will be responsive and effective. Campbellton is the northern entrance to the City of Campbell River and people entering through that area are treated to cityscape of old, outdated buildings and streets cluttered with hydro poles, power lines and old sidewalks. It’s in desperate need of upgrading. The Campbellton Neighbourhood Association has been working to push the neighbourhood to the forefront of the public agenda. City council must now aware of the years of neglect and we look forward to seeing some progress on some beautification of Campbell River’s northern gateway.
Letters
Obama-care is a law
I am replying to Ron Runtes letter regarding “Obama care” (Campbell River Mirror, Oct. 4). I’d like to address the points as they were raised. First of all, it is not a proposal, but a law, duly passed by both the house of representatives and the Senate, signed by the president and declared constitutional by the conservative U.S. Supreme Court. As well, a presidential election was fought and won on the issue. Surely if it was such a badly flawed law then somewhere it would have been defeated. The law can be repealed by the Republicans, only if they gain control of the Senate next year and keep control of the House. Again if the law is so flawed then they should let it roll out and use the backlash to win the election. Next, the cost. The registration for the programme has just begun and early estimates in New York State, for example, is that the cost for a premium has fallen from $550 to less than $200. The reason that large companies and members of congress are exempt is that they have their own plan. People who have their plans already in place don’t need to do anything, but have the option to enhance their plans through the State and Federal Health Insurance exchanges. The law is primarily for those 35 million Americans who have no Continued on Pg. 9

Another traffic project, another controversy
Alistair Taylor
Out On A Limb @AlstrT
editor@campbellrivermirror.com
I was driving north on the Old Island Highway in Willow Point when I heard the sirens coming towards me. I was momentarily overcome with the urge to pull over as required for a passing emergency vehicle but this was at the portion of the highway that was rebuilt and so there was a median between me and the southbound fire truck. Pulling over would have been a waste of time unless the truck was going to jump the median to progress down my lane. But am I still required to pull over? I slowed down and eased over, feeling a bit foolish but mostly confused. Then I realized this was my opportunity to witness the fire truck passing a vehicle in the same lane, proving in a real-life situation, the city’s claim that the roadway was wide enough for emer-
gency vehicles to negotiate that stretch of road when it contained traffic. I wanted to see a fire truck get around somebody in a median-constrained stretch of the road. Unfortunately, the traffic kept progressing past me as did the fire truck so if there was a moment of constraint caused by the narrowness of the road, I was going to miss it. So, I pulled back into my lane and continued uptown. I have always said that the chances of a fire truck-traffic encounter on that stretch of road would be pretty low. I mean, how often is the Old Island Highway congested with traffic these days? And how often is there traffic and an emergency call on that stretch of the road? Pretty rare. But there was my opportunity that
night. Not that the traffic was heavy. It barely qualified as traffic but there were one or two vehicles travelling in the same lane as the fire truck. Obviously, no mishap occurred. But remember all the kerfuffle as the city’s armchair engineers pointed out with glee what they considered a design blunder? The city eventually proved that emergency vehicles could get around a vehicle in the space between the concrete median and the new sidewalk. Well, we learn once again of another design flaw in our city streets, this time the new corner of Shopper’s Row and St. Ann’s Road. It appears the bulging corner is forcing buses to pull a buttonhook manoeuvre to turn right from Shoppers Row onto St. Ann’s. A buttonhook is a trucker’s move whereby they swing from
the right turn lane into the centre lane in order to negotiate the corner without the trailer jumping the curb and taking out a light post, mail box, a couple of pedestrians and maybe a business sign. Now we’re faced with sitting in the left turn lane on St. Ann’s and watching a transit bus swinging wide and seemingly straight into the front end of your late model Toyota Corolla before it tucks in at the last second and heads up St. Ann’s. Why does every new traffic facility have to generate a controversy? Is there no computer simulation software out there that allows civic engineers to test these street parameters? It always ends up looking like something was overlooked. And after all that money being spent, you’d think...

October Community Living Month Inclusion and employment will be the focus of discussions during this year’s 15th annual Community Living Month in British Columbia. Each October, Community Living Month is an opportunity to recognize the contributions of people with developmental disabilities - and to acknowledge the people who support them. “Community Living Month is a time to celebrate the many contributions that people with developmental disabilities make year-round,” Minister of Social Development and Social Innovation Don McRae said. “Each October, we have a chance to recognize how far we’ve come in building inclusion, and to plan for a future where we continue to grow acceptance and understanding of diversity in our communities.”
Responding to comments on Obama-care
Throughout the month, there will be c om mu n it y e ve nt s , employment roundtables and forums to raise awareness and celebrate people with developmental disabilities as equal and contributing members of society. There will be a series of employment roundtables with business owners, employers, community living service providers and local rotary clubs about inclusive hiring. Community Living BC (CLBC) has teamed up with Rotary clubs, service providers and other organizations to facilitate these forums throughout the province. An events schedule is available at: w w w.communit y livingbc.ca Social Development and Social Innovation Minister Don McRae will spend the month touring B.C. to meet with
local employers, service providers, home share providers, individuals and families to discuss opportunities and challenges in the sector. The Ministry of Social Development and Social Innovation and CLBC are making progress towards improving services for people with developmental disabilities and their families. The recommendations in the deputy ministers’ 2012 report have been completed. Work is now underway to roll out an integrated service delivery model to improve support planning and service delivery. CLBC interim chief executive officer Doug Woollard said, “Community Living Month is a great time to celebrate and thank the thousands of volunteers, family members, service providers and self advocates

CO2 a tiny fraction of atmosphere Re: Science loses ground to superstition (B.C. Views, Oct. 2). Tom Fletcher is, in my view, one of BC’s most under-appreciated commentators. This column sums up one of our world’s strangest phenomena – superstition increases in lockstep with the increase in human knowledge. Fletcher focuses on our endless climate-change conflict, but you can add debates such as ‘smart meters causing cancer,’ ‘vaccines causing autism,’ ‘genetic engineering bad/ organic good’ and on and on. Toss in the anti-coal and anti-pipeline crowd, and you have a mass of ignorance that boggles the mind. Never have so many known so little about basic mathematics, physics, chemistry, history and so forth. To illustrate my point, consider that the Earth’s atmosphere is 77 per cent nitrogen and 21 per cent oxygen. That leaves two per cent for all the trace gases including carbon dioxide – currently .04 of one per cent. How can a reasonable person argue that carbon dioxide is the primary driver of climate change? Fletcher also notes the genetic engineering (GE) debate at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention. GE offers some of the best solutions to

hunger afflicting much of the Earth’s human population. In spite of the potential benefits, nearly half of our municipal leaders buy into the antiGE hysteria. If you listened to Vancouver city council, we should all be living in yurts and scratching, along with our chickens, a living from backyard organic gardens. Mind boggling!

Biblical destruction of planet Re: “Science loses ground to superstition,” (B.C. Views, Oct. 2.) It’s truly bewildering to see such a headline above yet even more of Tom Fletcher’s demagoguery towards David Suzuki – one who’s an ardent believer and follower of actual science. If it’s actual science that Fletcher truly seeks, why does he conveniently overlook the blatant anti-science thinking and frightening policy of his bird-of-a-feather Prime Minister Stephen Harper?

healthcare because of pre-existing conditions or lifetime caps in coverage. It is yet to be determined as to the size of programme bureaucracy or the cost, but savings have already been made in detecting medicare fraud and medicaid part D because of the sections of the law already in place. Lastly, I’d like to comment on his assertion that a majority of Republican members favour a one year delay. They are afraid that if the healthcare act were to be fully implemented, it would be as popular as social security. If the speaker of the house, John Boehner, would allow a vote by all members of the House, the result would be an end to the shutdown without changing the Affordable Care Act, even though the Republicans are the majority. Again it is not a plan as asserted by the author, but a law. I can’t comment on his “red scare” comment because the fifties use of the term was regarding communism, not the right wing.

Focus on beautification not competition, Communities in Bloom committee says Kristen Douglas CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
The committee tasked with prepping the city for Communities in Bloom wants to withdraw Campbell River from the beauty contest. The C ommunities in Bloom Committee wants to pull out of the competition because of the demands associated with the program. Nigel Lambeth, the chair of the committee, said while Communities in Bloom fosters civic pride it’s also a huge undertaking that the city in recent years has not been able to afford. “The committee feels that the national Communities in Bloom program offers an excellent system for measuring the performance of a community in eight key areas, related to beautification and sustainability,” Lambeth said. “However, the commitment to compete, from a financial and volunteer
effort perspective, is enormous. “Therefore, the committee has decided that it would like to withdraw from the national program.” The city hadn’t been formally competing in the competition since 2011. That year the city did so well that it was invited to compete in 2012 at the international level after winning nationally with a score of 85 per cent. However, the committee needed $26,000 from the city to enter the international contest and the committee eventually made the decision to go on hiatus due to city budget restraints. Since 2012 the committee has instead continued with low-cost beautification activities such as community clean-up days, broom bashes, recognition programs for businesses and residents and community workshops. The city was part of
Communities in Bloom but was entered in the non-competitive category. A community is able to defer its participation for up to three years before having to start over at the provincial level. The committee is requesting council, which was expected to consider the situation at Tuesday’s council meeting after the Mirror went to press, revert the committee back to its original Community Beautification Committee. Lambeth said the committee would continue to manage the Adopt-aHighway program, host community clean-up days and workshops, provide business and residential beautification recognition programs, and provide recommendations to council on beautification matters. The committee is also recommending council consider funding a Community Beautification Volunteer Program.

preaching and teaching, including the evangelical sort towards which Harper and many of his MPs claim to be devout, it’s clear that such theology does not at all concern itself with a healthy, pristine Earth eco-system. For, according to the Book of Revelations, Earth is to eventually be laid complete waste for a considerable period of time – if not permanently (depending on Biblical interpretation). So, really, why worry about an unhealthy state of the planet’s environment – especially when there are so many jobs to be had? Frank G. Sterle, Jr. White Rock
Media promote many myths Re: “Science loses ground to
superstition,” (B.C. Views, Oct. 2.) Tom Fletcher’s column hit on a subject that has bothered me for some time. Maybe it is the media’s preoccupation with eyeballs but it seems to me that we are getting a lot of media output that gives faux reality the same weighting as scientifically tested data. We, the public, are still untrained in appreciating the truth ‘free-for-all’ that the digital world has dumped on us and our educational system is not yet set up to notch up student’s BS meters. Thus we get public support for almost any ‘conspiracy theory’ or economic myth, whether scientific or social. Here on Vancouver Island, this means we see the repeated return of the ‘zombie’ E&N passenger rail solution to the ‘Colwood
Crawl’ traffic congestion; the global warming ‘Chicken Little’ performance; the never-ending suggestion that more health care spending will solve our health care issues; that everyone needs a university degree regardless of what it is; that science is usually wrong in the long run; that money obtained from another level of government is free; that we are entitled to anything/everything we can think of; that ‘they’ are the cause of all my problems; that we do not need to create wealth - the rest of the world will always send us whatever we need; that we do not really need oil to maintain our current life style; etc. Fletcher has a deserved reputation for ‘telling it how it is’. Keep it up. Jim Knock Esquimalt

Kathy Furmaniak CFP, CPCA Financial Consultant
Canadians are a ‘giving’ people. According to Statistics Canada, in 2011, the total amount of financial donations that individuals made to charitable or nonprofit organizations was $8.5 billion.1 When you use an effective ‘gifting strategy’ you will not only support your charity, you will also reduce your tax load at the same time. One very effective gifting strategy is making a gift of eligible publicly-traded securities or mutual fund units to the charity of your choice. A few years ago, the federal government changed the rules regarding the gifting of securities by eliminating the tax on capital gains associated with the gifting of the securities. As a consequence, the real cost of your charitable giving is reduced. Here’s how it works.
• However, when you donate that security to your charity on an ‘in-kind’ basis, your gift qualifies for a tax credit and you avoid the tax on the capital gains that would normally arise from the sale of the security. • The donation receipt is exactly the same in both cases – that is, for the fair market value of the security, which is generally determined by the closing price of the security on the day it was transferred to your charity. You can carry forward unused charitable donations for up to five years after the year in which you made the donation. • You can choose to make your gift during your lifetime or through your estate. • The favourable tax treatment for ‘in-kind’ gifts applies both to a personal donation and to corporate donations. • Your securities ‘gift’ can be delivered to the charity of your choice through a simple electronic transfer
by your professional advisor; gifts of paper shares are also easily accomplished. • Your charity will require a direction signed by you that provides proof you are the registered holder of the securities. • Normally, once a charity has acquired ownership of an ‘in-kind’ donation of securities, it will sell them and use the cash proceeds to fund its charitable activities. There are other tax-smart gifting strategies that can deliver both immediate and longer-term tax relief and ensure your charitable goals are achieved. To be sure you’re using the right gifting strategies for your situation, talk to your professional advisor. Statistics Canada : The Daily, Wednesday, February 13, 2013

An Attorney is a person you appoint as your representative by preparing a Power of Attorney. The Power of Attorney Act specifically prohibits the Attorney from amending or re-doing your Will. Therefore, your Attorney cannot make, change, or cancel your Will. Further, your Attorney has an obligation not to dispose of any assets that are specifically bequested to a beneficiary, but your Attorney does not have a duty to maximise the beneficiary’s share. The Attorney’s duty is to use the assets as needed for the donor’s care and needs, and protect and manage the rest of the assets.

You can bring sensitive plants like geraniums and some herbs in for the winter. Wash plants and pots with insecticidal soap before bringing them indoors. Find a sunny spot in the window, and better yet supplement them with a daylight Christa Fernau fluorescent like a T5 on a timer. In mid-winter decrease heat slightly and water less. Avoid fertilizing during the winter as this encourages soft growth, which is more susceptible to pests and diseases. The soil should be moist, not wet. Maintain good airflow and don’t crowd plants too closely together. Check to make sure drainage is good. Looking after your plants in this way will help you avoid problems like weak leggy spindly plants, yellowing and falling leaves. Also, crown rot or root rot are avoided by proper watering.

Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) is a dried needling technique developed for the diagnosis and treatment of myofascial pain syndromes. These musculoskeletal injuries typically have no obvious sign of injury or inflammation. IMS relies heavily on a thorough physical exam to identify neuropathic pain. This exam is very important as chronic pain is often neurological as opposed to structural, and Darcy Lawley therefore invisible to many diagnostic imaging Physiotherapist techniques. IMS uses acupuncture needles to target injured muscles that have contracted and become shortened from distress. This needling has three affects. (1) The injured muscle will have a reflex relaxation (lengthening). (2) The needle causes a small bleed that initiates the natural healing process. (3) The needling causes an electrical response in the muscle to help make the nerve function to the muscle normal again. As compared to acupuncture, IMS requires a musculoskeletal exam and diagnosis of neuropathy by a trained practitioner. Needle placements are indicated by physical signs and are not based on predetermined non scientific meridians, and the effects of IMS are typically immediate.

Living with a senior cat (>7 years) has its rewards and also its challenges. Senior cats are more likely to develop conditions and illnesses that create pain and discomfort. Arthritis is a common but often unrecognized disorder in older cats. 90 percent of cats over 10 years of age showed radiographic (X-ray) evidence of arthritis in their elbows and hips. Dr. Peter Woodward Unfortunately, recognizing arthritis in cats is challenging. Many of our cats hide their pain very effectively. While we may sometimes see our older cat limping or favoring one leg or another, more often than not our arthritic cats simply become less active.They spend more time sleeping and resting. In fact, many of us mistake these symptoms of arthritis for normal aging. Too often, we simply assume that it’s normal for an older cat to sleep more and be less active without ever wondering whether pain may be playing a part. So if your senior cat is showing subtle signs of slowing down we recommend bi-annual visits to your family vet. So what can be done? Monitoring your cat’s weight is a starting point and there are new and improved scientific diets available as well.

NORTH ISLANDviha HOSPITALS PROJECT COMMUNITY INFORMATION SESSION
3x7.5 Island Health (the Vancouver Island Health Authority) is
hosting another community information session for the North Island Hospitals Project. This meeting will include information about the ongoing site preparation work making way for the new $266 million, 95-bed Campbell River Hospital at the existing hospital site. We invite you to attend this information session to find out more about how the North Island Hospitals Project will support you and your family’s health care needs when these new state-of-the-art acute care facilities open in 2017.

Island Health and the North Island Hospitals Project team will be on hand to answer questions and gather input.
The city is working on a partnership with the We Wai Kai First Nation to provide transit service to the Quinsam reserve. The new route would service Detweiler Road, Nurser y Road, the Quinsam reserve off the Inland Island Highway and a portion of Willis Road.

ment with the We Wai Kai. A decision was expected by council at its Tuesday night meeting after the Mirror went to press. The new route was first supported by council during budget deliberations in January. At the time, Coun. Ron Kerr, who is the council liaison to the We Wai Kai, said he was pleased to get the ball rolling but at the same time, more needs to be done in the Willis area. “While it’s not entirely what I hoped for, it is a step in the right direction,” said Kerr who has been lobbying for improvements along the Willis/Petersen Road corridor, including a bus stop on Willis Road. Currently, pedestrians trying to catch the bus, including residents of Palmer Place – some of which have disabilities – have to walk down the narrow shoulder of Willis Road down to the bus stop on Petersen. “One call, and we’ll do it all”

Just because you could afford a new house or a new car doesn’t mean you leave them uninsured, and the same should be with your biggest assets, your life Darlene Garat and your income. RRSPs have Financial Advisor tax implications, even rolled to a surviving spouse; they can complicate income with other benefits and not be entirely liquid – especially if some of those are locked into a pension. RRSPs can also disappear should the recipient need home care or go to a care facility. Having the right insurance in place can allow you to have options should one of you become seriously ill or injured, or die. Should both of you pass away, it can also provide a safety net for the next generation that allows you to enjoy your savings while you are still alive and healthy.

A competent Financial Advisor will be able to Certified Financial Planner take your current statements and complete all the paperwork for you. All you should need to do is: meet with the new Advisor, review some personal details, and spend some time discussing your dreams and goals, and what risk level you are comfortable with.

How do I stop my dog from stealing food off my kitchen counter?
ASK THE EXPERTS
» Insurance
» Investment
I was thinking of changing Advisor’s but my current one told me that moving my investments would be a huge hassle for me. Is this true?
First of all, make it a rule for everyone in the house to stop leaving any type of food anywhere on the countertops or kitchen table. If your dog continually gets rewarded by stealing something off the counter - even if it’s a tiny morsel - his chances of continuing to steal are about 100%!! Dogs keep doing what gets them a reward, and always getting food off the counter makes it a very Cathy Merrithew worthwhile behavior for your dog. If you see him starting to sniff along the counter, distract him with a command like “Look!” (which should mean stop what he’s doing and redirect to you), and reward him with a treat or a chance to go play outside in the yard. Sometimes tossing a treat onto the floor after he’s left the counter area will begin to have him look towards the floor for his reward instead of the counter. If you can’t be sure he won’t “score” from the counter, strategic placements of baby gates to keep him from getting rewarded will be something that will work for you. Yelling at him won’t stop him, and in some cases he’ll see the yelling as attention and you may make the problem worse. Bottom line is, don’t give him anything he’ll be able to steal.

Concert to benefit African charity
A
n incredible lineup of local musicians will be at Shot in the Dark Café on Saturday to raise funds for an African education charity. Shane Philip (Winner of Vancouver Island Music Award’s Best Live Act), Helen Austin and Daisy (Winner of International Songwriting competition and Juno Finalist), Kyell Erickson and Judy and Bruce will all be performing to raise funds for Education is Power. The night starts at 7 p.m. and continues with an Open Mic and DJing by Marcel Marechal (manager of Shot In The Dark). Education is Power (EIP) is a small scale African charity that raises tuition fees for disadvantaged Africans studying at African secondary and post-secondary schools whose motto is “Empower one who can empower others.” Entrance is by donation and all ages are welcome. EIP is run by David Cuddy, an outdoor instructor at Strathcona Park Lodge since 2005. He founded the organization in 2008 after his experience in the Canada World Youth Program. He continues to run the organization as a volunteer through a network of volunteers and no administration costs. Kenyan and Tanzanian students who are selected for funding are volunteers in their community and after receiving funding and

attending school, they make visits to primary schools and high schools to inspire and educate others. Education is Power has a unique and sustainable 25 per cent payback model where funded students are required to pay back 25 per cent of their postsecondary fees back to the organization once they gain suitable employment after graduation. The end goal of the project is to keep the education in Africa as one of EIP’s core value’s is that “if you want to help Africa then lets help Africans who can help Africa!” Education is Power has supported 25 students to date and there are many more students on the waiting list in need of funding. The target for the fundraiser is $1,700, which is the same amount it costs for

one year of university tuition in Kenya and it is also the amount that was raised at EIP’s fundraiser in Kenya last February. This was an astounding support from locals who contributed greatly in comparison to their average salary of $1.50 per day in Kenya. David Cuddy organized that event with other Kenyans involved in EIP. He will do a talk with pictures and video at the Oct. 12 fundraiser. Cuddy is calling out to teachers in the region to take on the project
with their students and support an EIP student while also getting to have Skype meetings with the same student they raise money for. Cuddy is available to do talks with pictures and videos up until Nov. 10 this year or next spring when he returns from his fourth trip to East Africa. Contact him at davecuddy@ educationispower.org” davecuddy@educationispower.org or learn more about the project at www.educationispower.org.
After several years absence, Vancouver rocker/punker/vegan/songstress Bif Naked returned to the Tidemark Theatre stage on Saturday night. It was mixed reaction from the crowd which loved her songs, but got a little bored with the monologues in-between.
Artisans sought for Christmas Market It’s fall at the Campbell River Art Gallery and that means it’s time to start thinking about the annual Christmas Market. The CR Art Gallery is seeking artisans who would like to display their work in the annual Christmas Market, taking place this year from Nov. 7 to Dec. 24. For six weeks, the gallery’s entire exhibition space is transformed into a holiday shopping extravaganza, featuring unique handmade crafts and art created by local artisans. Everything from pottery to textiles to woodwork, soap and fine jewelry is featured. The pieces sell on a consignment basis and the Christmas Market,

ALL ABOUT BOWLING cr bowling
Bowling in Canada is clearly defined by the two codes of Tenpin and 5 Pin. At the CR Bowling Centre we’re fortunate to have lanes available for both codes, either for social or league play. The question is often asked of me, which is best? Honestly, it’s a matter of personal preference. 5 Pin is almost an exclusive Canadian thing with Barrie Davidson, not too much happening on the International Former Australian Tenpin scene, whereas Tenpin is played at a high level BowlingTwoCongress-Level Coach of competition in many countries throughout the world. We have some great bowlers competing in both sides of the house and those who follow either code are as passionate about their sports as any sport enthusiast anywhere in the world. The obvious differences between the two games are the number of pins bowled at and the size and weight of the balls used to knock them down. From that point on, the differences between five and ten, becomes even less obvious. From my coaching perspective, the biomechanics follow very similar principles. Perhaps the biggest difference being the amount of extra effort the bowler needs to control the ball in five pin, compared to the heavier ball in tenpin doing most of the work for the bowler. Both games require a consistent swing and release of the ball to achieve the necessary degree of accuracy. The key is always consistency. If you are making a consistent error, it is a relatively easy task for a coach to recognise it and help put it right. Last week’s “Bowler of Distinction” was Tammy from the Wednesday Morning Ladies 5 Pin League with a score of 256... Well done Tammy!

Timberline volleyball girls edged out in a battle of two top-ranked squads The top-ranked tripleA Timberline senior girls volleyball team came back with the silver medal from 27-team Camosun Chragers tournament. The Wolves made their way to the final without losing a single set. First, up was Belmont.
Timberline won the frist set 26-24 and closed out the match, 25-18. Next was Seaquam. This team was ranked number one at the beginning of the season so the girls were excited to play them to find out if their new number-one ranking was accurate.
Timberline prevailed 25-17, 25-19, as Sarah Chase led in kills and Brooklyn Reesor, despite a back injury, played a great match. In the first playoff game, Hayley Zumkeller served 17 points in a row to beat Pacific Christian 25-8, 25-6.

In the quarter-final, Timberline won the first set 25-14, but were behind 17-10 in the second before rallying for a 25-23 victory. In the semi-final, Timberline met sixth ranked Crofton House and beat them 25-15, 25-9. Megan Turko was outstanding getting several kills from rightside. Blockers Kaitlyn Herbert and Farryn Elhorn did a great job sealing off the net against Crofton’s strong attack. In the final the local girls played Lambrick Park, the top AA team in the province. The irony was the two teams had practised together before the tournament and were hoping to face each other in the championship. Lambrick has two powerhouse sisters who both played for Team BC this past summer. The match was an incredibly highcalibre affair, featuring long rallies and amazing attacks. It could not have been closer and Timberline lost the match 27-25, 25-27, 15-12.

Prevent kitchen fires
National Fire Protection Association research, cooking is the leading cause of home fires. Two of every five home fires begin in the kitchen, more than any other place in the home. Here are some kitchen safety tips: Stay in the kitchen when
you are frying, grilling, broiling, or boiling food; If you must leave the room, turn off the stove; When you are simmering, baking, or roasting food, check it regularly, stay in the home, and use a timer to remind you when the cooking time is done; If you have young
children, use the stove’s back burners whenever possible; Keep children and pets at least three feet away from the stove; Keep potholders, oven mitts, wooden utensils, paper and plastic bags, towels, and anything else that can burn, away from the stovetop.
The Campbell River Fire Department reminds everyone that Fire Prevention Week 2013 is taking place this week – and urges local citizens to prevent kitchen fires. According to the latest

Our world is sadder today as we announce the passing of our husband/Dad. He died peacefully at home on Oct 2nd. Left to lovingly remember his devotion to family and friends, his sense of humour, and his uncanny ability to find trains wherever he traveled, are his wife of 48 years, Jeanette, son Gordon (Laurie), daughter Sandra, sister Bev, and cherished grandsons Lucas and Zachary. Bob spent much of his life in the Campbell River area, growing up in Camp 5 and attending high school at Carihi. Bob was an entrepreneur involved in the logging industry for most of his career. He enjoyed working in the woods, often coming home with stories of wildlife spotted, and the natural beauty he saw each day. We’d like to thank Dr. Marsh, Dr. Prinsloo, the Home Care Nurses, and the Home Support Team for their kindness, care and support during Bob’s illness. Please join us in a celebration of Bob’s life at the Maritime Heritage Centre on October 18th from 1-4 pm. Donations can be made in Bob’s name to the Campbell River Hospice Society or the Campbell River Museum.

emergency exit. If a window is considered an exit, make sure all family members can open the locks and windows easily for a quick escape. Security bars on windows and doors must have a quick-release mechanism to make escape possible. Step 3 Choose a family meeting place The meeting place should be a safe distance away from the house. All family members should be taught to report to the meeting place after escaping a fire. One person should go to a neighbour’s house or the nearest phone in a safe location to contact 9-1-1 or their local emergency number. Know the emergency telephone number for your area. Step 4 Schedule a home fire drill • Practice getting out of the house through the various exits by holding fire drills. Practice your escape plan by having a fire drill at least twice each year.

HOW DO I MAKE A HOME FIRE ESCAPE PLAN?
WHAT ARE THE REALITIES OF FIRE?
Fire can destroy anyone’s home. Fires are real, not just events in the news or movies. Most people have no idea how destructive a fire can be. Here are some facts that everyone should know. • Fire creates thick black smoke that makes it difficult to see. • Smoke is more deadly than flames. The poisonous gases in the smoke can kill you. Many fire fatalities occur because people do not stay low and crawl under the smoke to a safe exit. Most fires occur at night while people are sleeping. Many people suffocate without ever waking and realizing the fire danger • Fire has intense heat. A fire can create extreme temperatures in a matter of seconds. These temperatures can cause severe burns rendering you unconscious.
During a fire there IS no time to stop and think about an escape route - seconds are important! Knowing what to do before a fire occurs can save your life! Make an Plan and practice your escape plan and fire escape drill practice it with your family today.

Fire Prevention Proc
What does a smoke alarm do? Properly functioning smoke alarms provide an early warning of smoke and fire. They may be the only things standing between safe escape and being overcome by deadly gases. A smoke alarm becomes your “Nose at Night” Most fatal fires occur during the night when people are sleeping. The smoke and poisonous gases emitted from a fire are deadly. People may be suffocated from the gases without being awakened or even realizing there is a fire.

Are there different types of smoke alarms? Ionization Smoke Alarm An ionization smoke alarm monitors “ions”, which are electrically charged particles. The alarm sounds when the change in electrical balance reaches a pre-set level. Photoelectric Smoke Alarm The photoelectric smoke alarm uses a beam of light and a light sensor The alarm sounds when the smoke density reaches a pre-set level. Both ionization and photoelectric alarms are acceptable and perform effectively provided they are installed and maintained correctly.
Smoke alarms do not last forever
Smoke alarms may be hard wired or battery operated. If you have hard wired smoke alarms, install battery operated smoke alarms on every floor in case of a power failure.
Special communication aids, which convert the sound of a smoke alarm into flashing lights or vibrations, are available for hearing impaired people. Specialized alarms with a pause feature are available for the kitchen to prevent nuisance alarms.
NOTE: When purchasing a smoke alarm, make sure that it has been tested to the CANIULC 5531-M STANDARD or by an approved testing agency.
2013 Fire Prevention Week is all about preventing kitchen fires. Thirty-three percent of all fires in BC start in the kitchen. In fact, more fires start in the kitchen than in any other room of the house. Some of the safety tips that the Surrey Fire Service will be spreading include: Stay in the kitchen when you are frying, grilling, broiling of boiling food. • If you must leave the kitchen, even for a short time, turn off the stove. • When you are simmering, baking, or roasting food, check it regularly, stay home and use a timer to remind yourself.
• If you have young children, use the stove’s back burners whenever possible. Keep children and pets at least three feet away from the stove • When you cook, wear clothing with tight-fitting sleeves. • Keep potholders, oven mitts, wooden utensils, paper or plastic bags, towels or anything else that can burn away from your stovetop. • Clean up food and grease from the burners, stovetops and the oven. • Don’t store combustibles in drawer below the oven.
Where should I place my smoke alarms? • The installation of smoke alarms is governed by provincial regulations, and local by-laws. To ensure compliance check with your local jurisdiction. • Read manufacturer’s instructions carefully and follow them exactly. • It is recommended that smoke alarms be installed on every floor of your home and outside each sleeping area. For maximum protection, install a smoke alarm in every bedroom, especially if you sleep with your bedroom door closed. • Since smoke rises, install smoke alarms high on a wall or on the ceiling. Keep smoke alarms away from anything that can blow smoke away from the sensor, such as windows, air registers and ceiling fans.
