Closures impact fight against illegal dumping Kristen Douglas Campbell RiveR miRRoR

The imminent closures of the Campbell River and Comox Valley Compost Education centres couldn’t have come at a worse time for Bud Logan. Logan, one of the founders of the Island Forest Stewards Society, was counting on the centres and their educators to help put a stop to illegal dumping. “Our society cleans up illegal dump sites but along with this we are in the process of creating an educational program that we can use in the school districts of Vancouver Island,” Logan said. “I need to have the compost centre open and Elaine Jansen (educator at the Campbell River centre) doing her magic at teaching the Continued on Pg. 3

Alberta to C.R. link promoted Kristen Douglas CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Campbell River Airport is looking at offering direct flights to Alberta. Susan Sinnott, chair of the Campbell River Airport Authority, told council Tuesday night that Campbell River is well-positioned to offer such a service. “We see that Campbell River is well-suited to have direct flights to Alberta,” Sinnott said. “We have actually tried to approach one carrier to come in. “We have to present a viability case, in other words, we have to have sufficient volumes.” The difficulty is in trying to gather the data the airline wants from the airport, said Tyler Massee, airport manager, as ticket counts from each route cost $10,000 a piece. “It’s quite a lengthy process and an expensive process to gather the data they require without first finding if they’re even interested in flying a new route into another community,” Massee said. “We’re in the preliminary stages of seeing if a new route to Campbell River would be a viable venture to them and if they are, then we’ll go back and pull the hard data they require.” The airport is also looking at ways to increase business from private planes. Sinnott said the Airport Authority has spoken to Rivercorp about a particular charter that flies in directly from Calgary and that the “charter operator is also very interested if there’s a case to (fly) directly to Fort McMurray.” Sinnott said the bottom line is the city needs to promote Campbell River and that will likely translate to success at the airport. “The focus is really on marketing the city and the surrounding area and that will improve Campbell River,” Sinnott said.

Composting: Community effort to save centre from budget cuts gets underway Continued from Pg. 1

ins and outs of composting. When we talk about what’s wrong with illegal dumping with the kids, we need to be able to show alternative options like composting.” While Logan said his society has made a big dent in the amount of trash in the Campbell River area – 70,000 pounds of garbage has been cleaned up since the society got started in May – more needs to be done. Logan said that’s where the compost centre comes into play. Jansen taught each child – and their parents, too – who stopped by the centre about the importance of composting rather than throwing items such as food scraps into the trash. “Elaine Jansen is an asset to our community. I have been there many times and witnessed how many visitors came and was always amazed at the amount of activity going on at this place,” Logan said. “You can bet that these people will

sorely miss this gathering place.” Last year alone, 5,367 visitors stopped by the centre while 5,447 paid a visit in 2012. In 2011, the compost centre saw 3,631 people come through. But the Comox Strathcona Solid Waste Management Board is considering a budget based on closing both the Campbell River and Comox Valley Compost Education Centres in order to save an estimated $137,227 in 2014. A motion to save the Campbell River centre was defeated by the board at a meeting Nov. 7. As an alternative to the centres, the board is considering offering the educational programs off site. Still, Logan said with the amount of illegal dumping he sees in the area, particularly on the Duncan Bay Logging Road, it’s clear the community needs its Compost Education Centre. “I don’t like the idea of it being shut down, we need to be able to educate people about

composting and be able to educate people about recycling,” Logan said. “These are programs that are a great benefit to Campbell River and to Courtenay. I’m saddened by the centre closing but we’re going to do everything we can to try and change their minds.” Logan hopes to have a Facebook page, Save the Campbell River Compost Education Centre, up and running on Friday which will appeal to the Comox Strathcona Waste Management Service to keep the centre open. Meanwhile, Logan is ploughing ahead with the Island Forest Stewards and is raising money to help the society continue its efforts of cleaning up garbage left behind by illegal dumpers across the Island. Logan is painting a coastal scene canvas at Impressions on Shoppers Row and will raffle off the painting in early December. To enter, drop by Impressions and make a donation to the Island Stewards for a chance to win.

Island Forest Stewards

Island Stewards originally, dubbed Shame the Logging Road Dumpers, first garnered attention earlier this year when Logan uploaded a video to YouTube naming all of the illegal dumpers who left garbage on the back roads around Campbell River. Logan said he contacts

each person whose garbage he comes across and invites them to join the group in a clean-up – so far only one woman contacted has accepted his invitation. Logan said now that the group is gaining some notoriety, the amount of illegal dumping has decreased significantly. The hidden cameras also don’t hurt.

Police are seeking the public’s help to find a Comox Valley woman who was last heard from on Halloween. Julia Strobach, 26, was reported missing on Nov. 15. Despite extensive efforts, Comox Valley RCMP have been unable to locate her. According to police, Strobach has a history of

going away for extended periods, but typically keeps in touch with friends through texting, Facebook or phone calls. “This lack of contact with friends is highly unlike her,” said Const. Don Sinclair in a news release. Strobach is Caucasian, 5’9”, 126 pounds, dyed red hair, green eyes and possibly carrying a pink

backpack. She is known to have acquaintances in Courtenay, Nanaimo and Victoria and is also known to travel with her red Raleigh mountain bike or by hitch-hiking. Anyone with information on her whereabouts is urged to contact their local police, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477 (TIPS).

Campbellton group gets half of requested funds www.CampbellRiverMirror.com www.CampbellRivermirror.com

Kristen Douglas Campbell RiveR miRRoR

A grassroots community organization working to improve Campbellton was denied more than half of its funding request at Tuesday’s council meeting. Jim DeHart and Brian Shaw, the co-chairs of the Campbellton Neighbourhood Association, wrote to council requesting $3,000 for annual office rent, community information mail-outs and community meeting and events space rental. C o u n . R on Ke r r attempted to have council issue the full amount, however, councillors agreed to $1,260 to help keep the group’s office open. Coun. Ryan Mennie

said he couldn’t accept the request because it’s the job of the city’s Community Partnership Committee to recommend community funding requests, as opposed to the group coming directly to council to appeal for funding. “It’s tough and it’s a little bit confusing and I don’t see it as a fair request either when we get these requests outside the scope of the Community Partnership Committee,” Mennie said. Coun. Mary Storry agreed that the funding for community meetings and events should go through the Community Partnership Committee but suggested it would be appropriate for council to chip in for the office rent.

“I certainly would not be opposed to sponsoring the office rent which is already subsidized by the bowling alley,” Storry said. “It’s sort of a partnership.” Coun. Andy Adams made the motion to provide the $1,260 for the office space but encouraged the Campbellton Neighbourhood Association to in the future come forward with some of its own funding. “I think this council and past council has been willing to help those who help themselves so if there was a way to identify what that was I’d certainly be more comfortable,” Adams said. “The Pier Street association is not a BIA (Business Improvement Association) but they

come forward with 50/50 matching fund requests to us. I would like to see the Campbellton Neighbourhood Association move to that model.” While council voted in favour of supplying the funding for annual office rent, councillors Mennie and Claire Moglove were opposed. Moglove was hesitant because of a letter council received from 10 Campbellton businesses who feel they’ve been excluded from the Campbellton Neighbourhood Association. “It’s a ver y small amount of money I realize, however, this letter demonstrates, in my view, that there is something lacking in the Campbellton Neighbourhood Association if

10 industrial commercial landowners feel they’re not being included in the process in any way, shape, or form,” Moglove said. “So until that happens, I don’t think the city should be in a position of funding an organization that’s not inclusive.” The letter, signed by Ambleside Land Ltd., Central Island Investments, E&D Properties, Ry-Chris Holdings, DJB Investments, Bailey Western Star, G+L Bailey Holdings, 1700 Maple Ltd., Wacor Holdings, and Long Island Contracting, takes issue with the Campbellton group.

“To date there has been very little, if any, consultation or communication with many of Campbellton’s commercial landowners,” reads the letter. “There is concern the process lacks inclusiveness. While recognizing that the CNA (Campbellton Neighbourhood Association) is a grassroots organization, we feel any process that could affect land use, traffic patterns etc. should involve all stakeholders.” Shaw, co-chair of the Neighbourhood Association, said the group has never intentionally excluded anyone.

“All CNA meetings have been well advertised and are open to everyone,” Shaw said. “Contact information is available on our website, Facebook, on the office door, and in all our correspondence. “ T h e a s s o c i at i o n strongly encourages all interested parties to come out, voice their opinion and share the workload to create a vision for Campbellton going forward.” Shaw noted the next general meeting is Wednesday, Nov. 27 at 6 p.m. at the Eagles Hall and all interested parties are encouraged to attend.

Disability Benefits are available for injured Homemakers? If you are a homemaker who takes care of your household, ICBC may pay you up to $145 per week to cover homemaker expenses. To be eligible, your injury must substantially or continuously stop you from “regularly performing most of the household tasks”. This coverage pays for you to hire someone to come into your home to clean. Although the law states that coverage will not pay for a family member to do the work, the Court has ruled that as long as your family member did not reside with you before the accident and comes specifically to help because of the accident, ICBC must pay.

The Campbellton Neighbourhood Association is attempting to upgrade the look of Campbell River’s oldest neighbourhood.

Artists to present their view of a future Campbellton T h e C amp b e l lt on makeover could use a few good artists. At the next meeting of The Campbellton Neighbourhood Association, Ken Blackburn of the Campbell River Arts Council will be there to give his impression on the future look of Campbell River’s oldest and most neglected areas. “Ken and a few artists toured around Campbellton,” said Brian Shaw, co-chair of the neighbourhood association. “Now we get to find out what they envision and what they can do to enhance the beautification of Campbellton. It’s just to put ideas into people’s heads.” The ad hoc association meets next on Wednesday, Nov. 27, from 6-8 p.m., at the Eagles Hall. The goal of the group is to work together to improve Campbellton

“one step at a time.” At the meeting, a representative of the geography students from Vancouver Island University will be there to present preliminary planning ideas. The students toured Campbellton on foot earlier this fall and are contributing their ideas as part of a hands-on, real life learning experience. Their final report is expected by the end of the school year. The meeting will also discus the future of Campbellton Neighbourhood Association in regard to becoming a formal society or a business improvement area. Anyone is free to attend the meeting, but bring a donation for the Food Bank. For more information, call 250-287-8807 or search for Campbellton Neighbourhood on Facebook.

Our View

Rob Ford situation raises an issue for B.C. The behaviour of Toronto Mayor Rob Ford has long since surpassed the realm of quirky and seen him sink to the depths to become a detriment to his community. We say: Extended That said, residents of British Columbia’s cities can feel lucky we’re terms mean bad not facing a similar situation among politicians stick our elected civic politicians. While the examples have been around longer rare of a rogue mayor or councillor embarrassing themselves publicly or shedding a negative light on their municipality, extending municipal terms

to four years from three, as Union of B.C. Municipalities members endorsed this fall, may not be a good idea in light of the Ford situation. The B.C. Community Charter states that councillors can only be disqualified from office for not taking the required oath, missing meetings for 60 days or four consecutive meetings for reasons other than ill health or by leave of council, conflict of interest where influence or inside knowledge is used inappropriately, or the unauthorized use of money. The vast majority of councillors take seriously their oath of office and pecuniary responsibility to

constituents. In the event individuals run into conflict, perceived or real, or exhibit questionable behaviour, councils are generally good at policing themselves. When further action clearly needs to be taken, the onus falls on the individual to do the right thing. As we’ve seen with Ford and local politicians, the results can be mixed. With few mechanisms at our disposal to oust individuals who prompt serious consideration of termination or forced resignation, the best avenue is still the ballot box. – Black Press

Letters

Council silent on ferries

Dear Mayor Jakeway and Council: I am writing in response to the BC Governments decision to reduce some scheduled sailings on some ferry routes. The ferry to and from Quadra is essentially a continuation of the BC road (Highway) system. This would the same as shutting down any road between communities throughout BC from 9 PM until 6:15 AM. Quadra Island residents work, go to school, attend cultural events, shop and are involved in sports activities in Campbell River. Hospital staff from Quadra who need to work shifts, get called in for for emergencies and are needed to work overtime to adequately staff the Campbell River Hospital would be greatly impacted as they will also not be able to get to the hospital or get home from later work. There are also Campbell River residents who work on Quadra. For example, a large number of employees at Walcan are Campbell River residents and will be restricted to hours they can work if the ferry stops sailing so early. They also depend on the ferries to move their products. I would hope that the mayor and all the council will speak out about this situation happening and support our communities that need the ferry service.

It’s always colder in Campbell River, but not really

Paul Rudan No, really

It’s a beautiful morning. Cold, yes, but the mountains are spiffy in their fresh white frosting. The sun is a brilliant orange/yellow orb in the southernmost sky and its rays dance across the sea. A fine morning indeed...until I hear the CBC Radio host give the current forecast and weather conditions for Vancouver Island.” “Minus-one in Port Hardy, the same in Comox and Nanaimo, and MINUSFIVE in Campbell River!” Gregor Craigie announces oh so cheerfully. Minus-five, are you kidding? There’s not even frost on my windshield! Now the last time I saw Craigie in Campbell River was several years ago when all the “important media” descended on our local courthouse to

cover a murder trial. So, now, I’m wondering if he even recalls that Campbell River IS, in fact, located on the same shoreline as the other two communities. And, if so, why oh why would the temperature be the same for two communities located hundreds of kilometres apart, but the one in-between is four degrees colder? (I know, it all seems trite, but what else do we Canadians have to moan about, eh?) Then I remember Radio Dude is sitting in a cozy Victoria studio mouse-clicking through the Environment Canada website for his information. And when you do visit the page for the city’s weather, you will notice the key as to why it’s always “so much colder” in Campbell River through fall, winter and

spring, and “typically warmer” in the summer. It’s because Campbell River’s official temperature is recorded at the airport. You know, the airport that’s located eight kilometres outside downtown and 109 metres above sea level. In short, the temperature at our airport rarely is the same as the temperature where the majority of people live – along the waterfront. Granted, Environment Canada also takes its temperature readings at airports in Port Hardy, Comox, Nanaimo and just about everywhere else. That’s fine, but in larger centres, such as Victoria, there are four different locations that monitor temperatures, including the airport and harbour front where the temperatures are often several

degrees apart. What I’m getting at is the desire to have a temperature gauge for downtown Campbell River. City hall would be a good spot because there’s already a webcam on the roof which shows views of downtown through the city’s website. A digital thermometer, connected to an existing computer, wouldn’t cost much and we could even provide Campbell River’s actual temperature to cashstrapped Environment Canada for nothing. And the benefit? Well, foremost, other Islanders and visitors won’t always be wondering “why it’s so cold (or too darn hot) in Campbell River.” Secondly, it would stop at least one reporter from complaining about the weather.

City achieves ‘green’ status with province Kristen Douglas Campbell RiveR miRRoR

City hall is successfully going green. The city, which is a signatory to the provincial Climate Action Charter, was recognized recently for reducing its greenhouse gas emissions. For its efforts, the city was provided with ‘Green Communities’ branding for use on the city’s website and official letter heads. Coun. Larry Samson

said at Tuesday’s council meeting he was pleased with the city’s progress. “I would like to congratulate staff and council for achieving this level of acknowledgment under the Green Communities,” Samson said. “It’s something to be proud of.” The city was successful under the Green Communities’ measurement category which requires local governments to complete a corporate carbon inventory for the

year and demonstrate they are familiar with the Community Energy and Emissions Inventory. Julian Paine, assistant deputy minister of the local government division, and Gary MacIsaac, executive director of the Union of BC Municipalities, said the city was suc-

cessful in measuring and reducing its greenhouse gas emissions at city hall. “The work that your local government has undertaken to measure and reduce its corporate emissions demonstrates strong climate leadership and sets the stage for broader climate action in

carbon neutrality by the end of 2012 – the target for communities signed onto the Climate Action Charter. The city signed on to the provincial climate charter in 2007 and in an effort to achieve its goal of carbon neutrality by 2012 implemented a carbon neutral plan in

2011, which included emission reduction targets for 2012, 2020 and 2050. While the city did not become carbon neutral, the city did exceed its target for 2012, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 12.8 per cent over 2008 – 2.8 per cent better than its goal.

That’s the River Spirit

Members of River Spirit dragon boat team met with a group of the Campbell River Free Masons to present a cheque for funds to assist with the cancer van program. The paddlers raised these funds by auctioning their “Bras for a Cause” at this year’s Cruisers’ Show ‘n’ Shine on the Labour Day weekend. The cancer van program has been operating in Campbell River since 1999, carrying hundreds of patients to Victoria for treatments.

Improv games comes to the North Island

igh schools actors on the North Island will soon have their skills tested to the limits. The Canadian Improvisation Games is an annual event that takes place all across Canada amongst young people who love to act and enjoy being on stage. On Nov. 29, four Improvisation groups (Carihi, Vanier, Highland and Tahsis) will be participating in the North Island Zones held at Highland Secondary School in Courtenay at 7:30 p.m. Improvisation – Improv for short – is a spontaneous form of drama, where the actors create scenes as fast as possible. Participants are sometimes given a suggestion from the audience and have a short time to brainstorm as a group before acting their scene. At one time, improvisation was only a practice tool for actors to keep them on their toes and to give them the shot of adrenaline needed to boost energy and creativity. But

now, improvisation is considered a genre of acting that many people love. At the North Islands, the teams are allowed to choose some of the events they perform. There are five different categories that each team is allowed to choose from: a story piece, a character piece, a style piece, a themed piece and a life piece. Of those five, both theme and life are mandatory and the groups are then allowed to choose two of the remaining three. As the date quickly approaches, the teams will prepare and practice their abilities. Will they succeed or will they excel?

Youth Action Committee kicks off the year I

n Campbell River, many youth look for a way to get involved in the community. Be it for credit towards graduation, to earn a couple bucks, or plainly for pleasure, students here don’t shy from being active members of society. And the Youth Action Committee (YAC), a local student council run by the City of Campbell River, searches for ways to help youth meet their goals. At their first meeting of the year, the committee voted on which projects to dedicate themselves to.

CARIHI MIRROR WRITER

It was evident to all of them; Campbell River’s youth have trouble finding jobs. To help students, YAC is hoping to run a series of

workshops to train business owners in working with youth. The goal is to encourage owners to give teenagers the skills or credentials they’re looking for with regards to available positions, essentially increasing career opportunities for students. This results in more efficient workers, who know exactly what their manager wants. These workshops can be an effective mechanism for students seeking jobs. In addition to training, it would also open up the idea of working with

up. However, as you approach adolescence, like a duck shedding its down, you begin to outgrow Cortes and the education it has to offer. Every September, a small flock takes off to go to school, only returning on weekends and holidays. Fridays are very long for island kids. School ends at 2:50 p.m. but you don’t get to Cortes until 6 p.m. Those three hours are transition time, time to get out of “school” mode, to pull off short skirts and fishnets and don sweat pants and scuffed sneakers. Once back at home you have to adjust to your families’ expectations. There is a whole other side of your life that they aren’t part of. Even if you live on Quadra and commute daily it can be exhausting. “When I get home the only thing I have time to

The ferry uses up all my time for other things, which is usually Ok, because the ferry is social, but sometimes I am tried and just want to get home,” says Ocean, a grade 11 student at Carihi. Many families share a house and take turns being with the kids in the week. It can be difficult to make boundaries and compromise on values. Laura is the mom of three boys, two of which are high school aged. They share a house in Campbell River with another family. The parents and grandpar-

ents take turns being in town with the kids during the week. “It’s hard because our family is split; we have to maintain our life on Cortes and support the kids at the same time. Its not ideal, but it the best option we have.” Eily lives with two other girls in the week. “It is difficult to live with friends and have a good relationship with them,” Eily says. Eily’s mom, Amber says that it the gradual transition to independence empowers young people and makes them stronger. “I grew up on Read Island and did the same thing that my kids are doing now. Even though it can be difficult, in the long run it is really good for them. It helps if you are sharing a space with people who have similar values. In that way we are really lucky,” she says.

youth in general, making teenagers feel universally recognized within the city. The Youth Action Committee is also looking at other projects, such as

obtaining feedback on the bus system, dedicating a week to youth events, and raising awareness about the youth charter passed by city council last year.

Drunken ‘bully’ convicted again for assaulting wife Paul Rudan

Campbell RiveR miRRoR

For hours a drunken Anthony Oscar beat up his wife while the two were on board a small fishing boat in an isolated

area on the West Coast. And then, when she was bloodied and bruised, he may have even tried to bury her alive in the beach at Queen’s Cove in Nootka Sound. On Monday, in Camp-

bell River provincial court, Oscar pleaded guilty to assault causing bodily harm. It was his fourth conviction for assaulting his wife Charlene Oscar. The 37-year-old, who

was arrested and held in custody since July 16, was given one more day in jail after Judge Brian Saunderson accepted a joint submission from Crown prosecutor Tim Morgan and defence lawyer Angie

Penhall. Judge Saunders on found the low-end sentence “particularly distasteful,” but pointed out the BC Court of Appeal has stressed that joint submissions are “just

short of binding.” The judge then set his sights on Oscar who appeared by video from jail cells in Victoria. “Has it ever occurred to you that you’re a bully?” the judge asked. TELUS STORE OR

Oscar simply replied “yes” and later added that he’s been taking counselling and respectful relationship courses while in custody. But the judge wasn’t impressed, noting that Oscar was previously convicted of assaulting his wife in 2009, 2010, 2012 and again last summer. “The fact is you keep beating up your wife,” said Judge Saunderson, who added that convictions were only for the times Oscar was caught by police. Morgan told the court that Charlene Oscar has always been reluctant to assist police investigations into her abuse. And the real truth of what happened on July 14, 2013, may never be known. According to Morgan, Charlene Oscar is homeless in Campbell River and is battling alcohol problems. “She wants nothing to do with (her husband),” said Morgan. On that summer day Anthony Oscar spent hours punching and kicking his wife while they were both intoxicated. The assault was finally reported to Nootka Sound RCMP who, upon their arrival, found Oscar passed out on the boat. His wife was taken to Gold River to be treated. Both eyes were blackened and later shut, and she had significant bruising. “Fairly serious injuries,” noted Morgan. She also told police that her husband had tried to bury her on the beach. Photographs show sand in her hair, but without her full co-operation, or witnesses, the allegation was almost impossible to prove in court, said Morgan. According to defence lawyer Penhall, Oscar has a Grade 12 education and a two-year diploma in marine biology. The couple have been married for six years and have five children, but not with each other. “He’s sorry for what happened. They both have drinking problems,” she told the court. Judge Saunderson said Oscar’s behaviour is “absolutely despicable,” but he had little choice but to accept the joint submission of one more day in jail. Oscar is now on an 18-month probation order and has a lifetime ban on owning or possessing any firearms.

B.C.’s here we come! Top-ranked Timberline capture Island title

Playing in front of a big, noisy hometown crowd created some jitters for the Timberline girls senior volleyball team. More than 500 people, mostly students, packed the secondary school gymnasium on Friday afternoon as the topranked AAA team in the province set out to capture the school’s fifth Island title before heading to the provincials. Head coach Terr y Philp certainly noticed the edge to her team as they took to the court, but the nerves didn’t last long. Timberline lost one close set in the tournament, but it hardly mattered as the squad captured the championship in dominating style. First victim was Reynolds of Vicitoria, 25-14, 25-14, followed by Frances Kelsey of Mill Bay, 25-7, 25-6. Nanai mo D ist r i c t gave Timberline its best test, beating the home-

town girls 25-23 in the opening set. But then the T-Line offence and defence took over in capturing the final two sets, 25-18 and 15-10, to win the match. Timberline took top spot in pool play which gave them a bye to the semi-final on Saturday versus St. Michael’s University School of Victo-

ria. But again, the visitors were over-matched in the five-set contest as Timberline swept three straight, 25-12, 25-11 and 25-9. In the final Saturday evening, in front of another large crowd, Timberline faced Nanaimo again. The local girls wouldn’t drop a set this time as they

swept Nanaimo 25-13, 25-20 and 25-19 to claim the Island AAA championship. Timberline’s Brooklyn Reesor was the most valuable player of the tournament while teammates Tommi Corder and Sarah Chase were named to the all-star team. “ The entire team

played great and I am very proud of them all,” said Philp. The Island titled cemented Timberline’s number-one rank in B.C. The team’s next stop is Delta for the provincials on Nov. 28-30. Last year, Timberline placed sixth at the provincials after entering as the ninth seed.

Girls from Campbell River Christian claim single-A title C a mp b e l l R i v e r ’s female volleyballers rule! Just as the Timberline senior girls were wrapping up the school’s fifth Island AAA volleball title on home court, the ladies from Campbell River Christian were in Lake Cowichan winning the

Island A title. “This is only the second time in our school’s history where a team has won an Island championship,” said head coach Kathy Andrews. The local girls went undefeated in pool play with victories over QMS,

Lake Cowichan and Port Hardy. In the quarter-final, the Christian School Cougars defeated Nanaimo Christian and then beat Lake Cowichan, again, in the semis. The girls continued their domination in the

final with a three-set victory over Duncan Christian to claim the Island A title. The victory qualified Campbell River Christian for the provincials which take place in Duncan Nov. 28-30. Members of the Chris-

tian School Cougars include: Shayla Hocking, Mikayla Martens, Tianna McCay, Jenniefer Yates, Jade Coon, Carly Davis, Kaitlyn Falk, Shelby McCay, Joanna Williams, Rachelle Addison, Heather Belanger and Melinda Coetzee.

Rugby teams advance The Campbell River/Comox Kickers U18 men’s and women’s rugby teams played in the Island semi-finals at Cumberland Village Park last Sunday. First up, the second ranked women faced the Velox Valkaries from Victoria and and little difficulty on the way to a 44-0 win. Tries were recorded by Lauren Sargent (3), Kristine Osachuk (2), Chloe Baird (2) and Dawson German (1), with two conversions by Osachuk. “This team is in their first year and includes girls from four different schools and all experience levels. To qualify for the Island finals is a great accomplishment,” said assistant coach

Erin Young. The finals are this Sunday at Cowichan RFC, 11:30 a.m. The U18 men played their rivals from Nanaimo and came away 56-5 victory. After a slow start, Trevor Caton and Jackson Locker scored tries giving the lads a 15-5 halftime lead. The second half started with tries from Callum Passingham and Foster Dewitt and two more from Caton putting the game out of reach for the visiting Hornets. The men travel to Victoria on Sunday, November 24 at 2:30 pm to take on the powerhouse Oak Bay Castaway-Wanderers in the Island Final.

“I recommend Vitamin C and Lysine for Heart Health” W. Gifford-Jones, MD Fourteen years ago following my own coronary attack I decided to follow the research of Dr. Linus Pauling, Professor Williams Stehbens and Dr. Sydney Bush and take high doses of vitamin C plus lysine. I am turning 90 soon and I am glad I did! Vitamin C is required to manufacture healthy collagen, the glue that holds coronary cells together, just like mortar is needed for bricks. Lysine, like steel rods in cement, makes collagen stronger. Dr. Linus Pauling, two-time Nobel Prize winner, claimed it takes a mere 10 milligrams of vitamin C to prevent scurvy, but several thousand to prevent heart attack. Dr. William Stehbens, Professor of Anatomy at Auckland University in New Zealand emphasized that coronary arteries are under more pressure than any other arteries in the body. They’re under constant pressure while the heart beats 100,000 times every 24 hours, or 37 million times a year, and 2.2 billion times if you live to 70 years of age. Without sufficient vitamin C and lysine this constant pounding causes minute cracks in collagen, resulting in blood clots and possible death, or a weakened artery can break, causing a stroke. Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, has now proven that vitamin C and lysine can reverse atherosclerosis. Bush took retinal photographs, then started his patients on high doses of vitamin C and lysine. One year later new pictures showed atherosclerosis had regressed in retinal arteries.

Crossword

Now you can take the right combination of vitamin C and lysine in a powder form I developed called Medi-C Plus™.

When we listen, but don’t really hear tiny speaker attached to the headphones and sits on the crown of Grotkowski’s head. What happens next is far short of a miracle, but Father Grotkowski’s English speaking voice begins to lose the guttural Polish accent and the rhythm of his words sound far more natural. “Amazing,” he says afterwards shaking his head in disbelief. “Amazing!” To further illustrate the effectiveness of the exercise, Daehler has the good father read out loud in Polish, and then switches the frequency and rhythm of the head-

he sermon is the make-it or break-it moment for the spiritual leader. Will the homily fill parishioners with the good will of the Lord or will Mr. Grey in the second pew yawn, stretch and nod off again? Delivering soulinspiring sermons week after week is tough work, but imagine how difficult that can be when English isn’t your first language? It doesn’t get any easier when the language difficulty is compounded by an Eastern European accent which confounds many English-speaking-only Canadians. That’s the dilemma for Father Jan Grotkowski, a native of Poland. “When I’m asked about the accent, I tell them I’m from Nova Scotia and that’s good enough for some people,” says Grotkowski, who clearly enjoys a good joke. “But some others say, ‘No, tell me where you’re really from.’” Father Grotkowski was previously working at a parish in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, and was recently reassigned to St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in Campbell River. He has an excellent command of the English language, but he also understands his accent is a barrier to communicating effectively. “I want to speak it clearly and as best I can. That will take some work,” he admits. That’s why Father Grotkowksi is visiting the Campbell River home of Charles Daehler, an electrician by trade who’s also been working on listening therapy programs using techniques developed by the late Alfred Tomatis. Tomatis was an internationally known otolaryngologist and inventor who developed theories on hearing and listening. The Frenchman started out trying to help professional singers based on the

phones to the Dutch language. Again, the effect is immediate as Grotkowski’s speech slows and the rhythm goes off too. He finally stops, “It’s like I’m being constantly interrupted. It’s interfering!” Whether you’re learning a new language or you’re a child with learning difficulties – whose inner ear muscles aren’t functioning as they should be – the Tomatis-based exercises are designed to improve hearing comprehension. Daehler likes the fact it’s drug-free therapy and has seen the benefit

on children, particularly those with attention deficit issues. Today though, Father Grotkowski has received his first session and he’s ready for more, because he knows that good communication is the key to being a good spiritual leader. “What is your prescription for me?” he asks. “Thirty hours to ‘open’ the ear and then 30 hours of English integration,” Daehler replies, “and it will make a huge difference to you.” Father Grotkowski hopes so and so do his parishioners.

idea that errant hearing is the root cause of a variety of ailments. His listening test and his “electronic ear” therapy were designed to alleviate these problems without the use of drugs. Daehler has been studying Tomatis’ techniques for the past seven years. His studies have taken him across Europe and he’s currently associated with the Bosco Centre in Coquitlam which has clinics worldwide. “I’m not a psychologist and I don’t pretend to be a doctor…it’s what I bring to society, a little bit,” he says. Over the past few years, Daehler has used the listening techniques and training to help children overcome learning barriers due to attention deficit disorders and autistic-related conditions. “Some kids can’t hear high frequencies and they have trouble distinguishing the words,” he says. “They’re lost most

of the time because they don’t have good hearing and they can’t focus.” As an example, he recently worked with a nine-year-old whose mother was at wit’s end because her child, “hears but he can’t listen.” But after several weeks of listening training, the boy listens and understands, and is more focussed in his school work and other duties. “All of a sudden he wakes up into a world where he can listen,” says Daehler. There’s nothing wrong with Father Grotkowski’s listening skills. The difficulty, so to speak, is his “Polish ear,” so he’s come to Daehler’s listening studio after the two met through a mutual friend, Dr. Lucien Larre. Tomatis’ belief was that language begins in the womb when the fetus hears the frequency and rhythm of the mother speaking. It’s like background noise in the womb, but the belief is it has a dramatic effect

afterwards on children’s ability to learn their “native tongue.” So Father Grotkowski is here to train for English. There’s not much sweating involved, but it clearly takes all the priest’s focus to read out loud from the book in English. He knows and understands the words, it’s just a struggle and there’s very little rhythm as he continues through the passage. “You can take English course, but it’s not going to give you an English ear,” Daehler observes. The teacher then asks the student to try again, but this time slips specialized headphones on Father Grotkowski who speaks into a microphone. This time the priest can hear his own voice, but there’s also something else going on. Using one of the Tomatis devices, Daehler is able to transfer English language rhythm and frequency through a

Island Voices Celebrate Christmas CD No. 2 I

sland Voices Chamber Choir will celebrate the release of their second Christmas CD. The choir, whose members come from Courtenay, Campbell River, Quadra Island and all points in between, will be performing music from the newly released CD in two upcoming concerts. The first will be at Campbell River’s new Trinity Presbyterian Church located at 145 Simms Road, Willow Point. The concert will be at 8 pm Saturday, Nov. 30. The second concert will take place on Sunday, Dec. 1 at 7 p.m. at Comox United Church. Since the release of their first CD in 2005, the Island Voices have been extremely active performing not only in Campbell River and the Comox Valley but

also in many other Vancouver Island locations including Victoria, Parksville and more remote communities such as Quatsino and Port Alice. They have also performed and won awards at the prestigious Kathaumixw International Choral Festival in Powell River. The release of the new CD is a culmination of two years of hard work by the choir and their director JoAnne Preston. The CD features guest performances from some of Campbell River and the Comox Valley’s finest musicians including pianist Sean Mooney, cellist Helena Jung, soprano Amy Lelliott, and flutists Tomoko Bonner and Diane Brown. They were also joined by a brass quintet with local performers Jake Masri, Roger Kirk, Celine Ouelette, Phil Cassidy,

and Nancy Cox. Amy, Tomoko and the brass quintet will be joining the choir for the upcoming CD release concerts. Island Voices are known for singing mainly a capella or unaccompanied music that spans centuries and styles. They will continue this tradition with a concert filled with Christmas music that is both secular and sacred. Rest assured that there will be many Christmas favourites. Tickets for the Campbell River concert on Saturday November 30th can be purchased at the Campbell River Visitor Information Centre. Tickets are $18 for Adults, and $15 for students and seniors. Ticket price includes a reception following the concert. Tickets for the Comox Valley Concert, Dec. 1 at 7 pm are available at

Laughing Oyster Bookstore in Courtenay and Blue Heron Bookstore in Comox. Tickets are $15 for Adults and $12 for students and seniors. The new CD will be available to purchase at

both of these ticket venues and at the concerts. For more information call Anne at (250)2874236, Jan at (250)3381439, or visit www. IslandVoicesChamberChoir.bc.ca .

United States, Mexico, Europe, Japan and Australia. From the Comox Valley, pianist Hagen has been heard in concert halls and on the airwaves to critical acclaim throughout North America and Europe. As well as hosting eight recital series in BC, Hagen enjoys a busy and varied concert schedule as both a soloist and collaborator. As First Prize Winner

in the 2013 Bradshaw & Buono International Piano Competition, Hagen was awarded the opportunity to perform solo at New York City’s Carnegie Hall in May 2013. Highlights of Hagen’s upcoming season include recitals featuring Rachmaninoff ’s complete Opus 32 Preludes in both Ontario and PEI, a Pro’ject Sound performance in Saint John featuring New

Brunswick photographers and the launch of her second album with music of Robert and Clara Schumann. The concert is at 2 pm. Trinity Presbyterian is located at 145 Simms Road. Individual tickets are $25 (regular), $20(seniors) and $10 (students). For more information: visit www.sarahhagen. com, email: info@sarahhagen.com, or phone: (778) 872-8244

Welcome to the driver’s seat

The S3 really is the sweet spot for drivers that want to have extra power but with a very compliant and comfortable ride. Zack Spencer

Audi’s road ahead paved with more than good intentions 2014 Audi A3 Cabriolet/S3 MONACO: Over the next 12 months or so, consumers are going to be treated to an onslaught of new entries into the premium market. Not to worry, the next wave of German sedans and convertibles are of a more affordable nature. Recently Mercedes Benz introduced their all-new CLA 250 at an eye-popping price of just $34,000 for a sleek and sexy sedan. Next year we will see the introduction of BMW’s new 1-series and 2-Series sedans, coupes and convertibles. Audi has been ahead of the curve as they helped pioneer this entry-level segment with the original, the A3 sportback, sold in Canada for years. The all-new Audi A3 sedan will arrive in March of 2014 and the convertible and more powerful S3 sedan will arrive in the fall of 2014. This week I had a chance to drive both the convertible and S3 in Monte Carlo, a full year ahead of their introduction here. Audi is one of the fastest growing premium brands and a big part of that is the variety of cars they offer. Unfortunately, we will no longer get the sportback, but the fact we get the rest of the line of A3s is exciting for buyers. Looks The A3 is built off a shared platform with VW called MQB. This platform was a significant investment for the VW group as it is lighter, bigger and stronger than the last Golf platform and provides a sturdy basis for the A3 Cabrio and S3. The new Cabriolet is 60kg lighter than the outgoing European model, yet the wheelbase is longer and the interior room and trunk more ample. It could be argued that Audi is building some of the most attractive cars these days and these smaller products still convey the same sense of power and solidity that the bigger products portray. The S3 is especially forceful with a 15mm lower stance than the A3 sedan. The air intakes are bigger with more detail; the side mirrors are highlighted with brushed aluminum; and the rear of the car looks more masculine thanks to chunky exhaust tips. The

Hitch up those snowplows the white stuff is flying

I know I wrote about winter driving last week and the snow and rain began to fall in various parts of the province but please don’t blame me for this first blast of chilly weather. finished, lift the blade back over the push frame into the transport position. The cost of this option is $1,644.

I’m here to help and at the risk of bringing on a blizzard, I thought I would share some information on snow plows. K2 is another brand of snowplow designed for the homeowner with acreage. Designed to work with a front receiver hitch, just like the Snowsport, it simply slides in the receiver and locks in place with a hitch lock. The winch is controlled from inside the cab and will raise or lower the height of the blade. The blade comes with a hardened steel cutting edge scraper, rubber snow deflector, skid shoes, and plow markers. It is available in 82”, 84”, and 88” lengths. Cost is $1,315.

If you use a plow to make money, then you will want to be able to do the job quickly and efficiently, so you may want to go with the multi-position. Multi-position plows are up to continued on page B9

50 percent faster due to the fact that you can reposition the blades to all straight-blade positions in addition to the scoop and V positions. This makes the plow adaptable to nearly any job you need to do.

Most snowplow makers use a single halogen light bulb, which are not bright enough; some makers have come out with dual halogen bulbs with the option of upgrading to High Intensity Discharge. These HID lights are four times brighter than standard halogen bulbs and also last ten times as long.

When it comes to the composition of the blade you have the choice between steel and poly. The vast majority of snowplows on the market today come with steel blades, although the poly plows are becoming more and more popular.

Hydraulics is probably the most important part of the plow, along with the controls. Be sure that the hydraulics system is dependable and the controls are simple and easy to use. Go for quality rather than trying to save a buck. Remember “you get what you pay for” definitely applies here. Cost for these units are $6,000 to $8,000 depending on the model.

The reason for the growing popularity is that poly is just as strong as steel and maybe stronger. They also have a lower coefficient of friction, which saves on fuel costs and is easier on your vehicle. The poly plows are also saturated with color all the way through so nicks and scratches do not show like they do with steel, plus they do not rust.

When it comes to the warranty, be sure to know exactly what you are getting and what the warranty covers. Some only cover parts, while others cover parts and labor. Warranties are usually either one year or two years; so pay attention to the warranty.

Attaching and detaching the plow is very important as well. You do not

Take all of these things into consideration when shopping for a snowplow and you will be able to choose the right one to suit your needs.

Look, please just get it through your thick skull that I’ve signaled to park and you should let me get tucked into the space before you swing out to pass on this narrow road. It’s not a matter of etiquette, I have the right of way. If you had actually paid attention to my signal many cars back you would not have become stuck behind me and could have made a safe pass in the other lane.

Drive Smart BC How to Politely Allow a Traffic Violation

2X14

I’m almost always pleased to see another driver exercise courtesy on our highways because it cancels out some of the selfishness that I see every day. I say almost because I saw a misguided act of kindness today that left me shaking my head. One driver made room so that the other driver could make an illegal lane change from a side road through surrounding standing traffic. We were waiting for a red light when the vehicle in front of me began to back up. I was just about to sound my horn in warning when the vehicle stopped. The buffer between our vehicles was gone and we would become an accordion if I was rear ended. What was going on? A car waiting at the yield sign to my right was now able to push its way across five lanes of traffic, including a single solid white line separating the left turning lanes. While that vehicle waited to make this improper move, traffic in that lane was stalled or forced to squeeze behind leading to confusion at the intersection. This violation does not make for a safe situation!

TYEE CHEV

Done properly, the car in front of me would have stayed where it was because we were in the leftmost through lane. It would be up to a driver in the right hand lane to anticipate and leave room to allow this vehicle onto the cross street. Once in, that driver would have heeded the solid line and found an alternative, legal method of proceeding in the required direction.

Food Map for Campbell River to promote local businesses and food products

Colleen Evans (left) believes a web-based food map will help strengthen the local economy.

3x7 Contractors Directory

Interested in growing or buying local food? The City of Campbell River, in partnership with the Chamber of Commerce, is developing a Food Map to make it even easier to find local food products and promote local businesses. The web-based Food Map will help raise awareness about local food production, processing and purchasing by identifying retailers, restaurants and farms selling local, regional and Vancouver Islandsourced agricultural products. “This project will help strengthen the local

economy and support a positive business climate. The Food Map builds on the Chamber’s ‘Think Local’ initiative by promoting local businesses that offer agriculture and food products grown and produced in our community,” says Colleen Evans, president and CEO of the Campbell River Chamber of Commerce. “Our ‘Think Local’ campaign is designed to strengthen the local economy by increasing awareness about our local businesses and the services and products they offer.” The Food Map will also contain an inventory of public and private land

JOh Duncan 2x1.75

that can be made available for food growing. Private land owners will be able to list their property as available space for small scale local food production. “Business locations, backyards or farms are potential community gardening spaces. For example, schools that want to expose students to the food system, or aging residents who find it difficult to manage their property can benefit from partnerships with people and organizations interested in growing local food,” explains Amber Zirnhelt, the City’s sustainability manager. “The City will also provide information about things to consider and types of agreements between land owners and people interested in growing food.” The city has received $12,900 from the Real Estate Foundation of BC toward the development of the food map and sup-

porting tools to encourage local food initiatives. “During the development of our Sustainable Official Community Plan, we heard from the community that access to locally grown food is important – as a healthy lifestyle choice, and as a way to reduce environmental impacts associated with transportation of food,” says Coun. Larry Samson, who holds the Council portfolio for the environment and community planning. “People are interested in community gardening, urban agriculture, and buying local food, and the Food Map will help support more opportunities for growing food in Campbell River.” For more information, watch for updates on the Sustainable Campbell River Facebook page, visit www.campbellriver.ca or contact the Food Map coordinator at richard. buchan@campbellriver. ca.

Blood Blitz in Campbell River aims to normalize HIV testing for World AIDS Day In an effort to make HIV testing as routine and accessible as possible, AIDS Vancouver Island in Campbell River is teaming up with Island Health (VIHA) to host a “Blood Blitz” testing day with HIV tests, flu shots and sexually transmitted infection tests being made available to everyone. The Blood Blitz Testing Day will take place on Wednesday Nov. 27 from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. as part of AIDS

Awareness Week at the Campbell River offices of AIDS Vancouver Island (1371 Unit C, Cedar Street). The event will offer the so-called rapid HIV test will be available which allows HIV test results in less than 60 seconds. “Offering the 60 second tests, greatly reduces the anxiety people feel about waiting to get their results,” says Leanne Cunningham key event organizer

and support worker at AIDS Vancouver Island in Campbell River. “We can offer the test and offer support all in one visit. “We’re hoping people will visit us for the Blood Blitz and see how easy getting tested can be.” The initiative is in line with the goals of the provincial government’s supported STOP HIV Project which aims to seek HIV infection through increased test-

ing and connect people to treatment if they are infected with the HIV virus. “The more people we can get tested the more people we can get connected to treatment. Once people are on treatment, they are less likely to transmit the virus,” says Katrina Jensen, executive director of AIDS Vancouver Island. The Blood Blitz is aiming to provide a variety of blood tests including

those for other sexually transmitted infections as well as offering this year’s flu shot. “Were thrilled to also partner with Island Health and our partners in Positive Wellness North Island who will provide education, information and support as well as confidential HIV testing” says Cunningham. Last year there was the lowest number of new HIV infections recorded in British Columbia.

Mainstream changing name to Cermaq

Going forward, Cermaq will focus solely in fish farming and will be using Cermaq as the name for its fish farming operations. “We are excited about this change. We have always been proud to be part of the Cermaq group, which has an excellent reputation worldwide for transparency and sustainability,”

says Fernando Villarroel, managing director of Mainstream Canada. “Adopting the Cermaq name will unite us as a fish farming group.” The Mainstream name will continue as a brand for now. The changes will be implemented in the near future. “Cermaq is a wellestablished name, and

a common name will strengthen our global operations,” says Cermaq Chief Executive Officer Jon Hindar. Following the sale of the feed division EWOS, which was completed Oct. 31, Cermaq will focus on fish farming only and will utilize the strengths found in one common name. “With this change,

Ongoing and sustainable compliance

inspected every sawmill in the province for compliance with that order.

PROCESS

A CEO-led sawmill taskforce and industry advisory group developed safety resources to distribute to industry, including best practice guidelines and an audit tool for dust-control management. Three new occupational health and safety guidelines related to wood dust were published, along with two hazard alerts to address risks specifically related to wood dust. Our officers re-inspected all sawmills to evaluate the industry’s efforts to manage combustible dust.

Scope expanded to include wood processing operations

In 2013 and going forward, our officers will continue to address combustible dust as a regular part of their inspectional activity. This winter, a dedicated team of officers will re-inspect sawmills throughout the province. The sawmill industry has made significant progress in addressing dust management. We want to ensure that progress and compliance with wood-dust management requirements is being sustained. Safety in BC sawmills is a vitally important issue, firstly to those who work in the industry, and also to their families and communities. Our common goal is to make wood-dust management an integral part of manufacturing operations. We will continue to work proactively with businesses around the province to make safety

In 2012 and into 2013, officers also conducted

a few words of inspiration with the recipients. “These young people are already role models not only to their peers but to younger children and adults as well. Their commitment to the environment and social

service is hereby being appropriately acknowledged and should serve as inspiration to those that follow in their footsteps,” says Bateman. The Duke of Edinburgh Award is an internationally-renowned program
