holding the line,” Kerr said. “It seems inappropriate to begin an initiative like this right at this present time but I’d really hate to see the public art policy go away and I really feel that this is one area that perhaps we could get hung up on.” Coun. Claire Moglove, said that by holding off, it was delaying the inevitable. “The problem I see is that in 2015, the pressures on the operations budget we’re facing in 2014 aren’t going to be much different,” Moglove said. “We did our budget deliberations last week and the cost drivers associated with the budget, those pressures will continue in 2015. “I’m concerned that financing for the public art policy will fall by the wayside with those pressures.” Moglove said council should adopt the public art policy without a financing strategy for the time being and that council should look at funding the policy through capital. Coun. Andy Adams said council needed to find a new financing strategy but disagreed it should be put off until 2015. “I’m loathe to encumber a future council with financial decisions,” said Adams, who suggested the funding come from new revenues instead of from the operations budget, or general taxation. “If staff can come back with another structure, that doesn’t directly impact taxation, I’d be more willing to take a look at it. I would suggest the funding formula be based on new revenues and the percentage come off of new revenues. The new revenues we’re going to see will come off the downtown area, which

is the area we want the public art policy to see the most impact.” In the end, council approved a motion to adopt the public art policy without a funding strategy but have city staff come back with a report outlining options for using a percentage of capital and a percentage of new revenues to fund the policy. Public Art Policy n Main goal of the policy is to support public art in the city and encourage respect for public art. n Incorporate public art into the design and execution of selected civic and private developments. n Inclusion of artists in the design process of municipally owned spaces, including parks, pathways, benches, and streets. n Create and manage a public art collection. n Form a public art committee which will advise council on the policy and be responsible for the selection and placement of all the public art work projects.

SUV fills with smoke
Fire crews extinguished a vehicle fire Monday morning. At 7:47 a.m., firefighters from the #1 hall were called out to the 1500 block of 14th Ave. where a parked Dodge Dakota was filling up with smoke. The owner had parked the vehicle and went to work when it appears that an electrical short started smouldering and filling the SUV with smoke. No one was hurt.
Jakeway at odds with council over energy efficiency Kristen Douglas CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Council agreed last week to sign the city’s name to a letter urging the province to help local governments meet their energy reduction targets but not everyone was on board. At the Dec. 17 council meeting, council was asked by the Pembina Institute to sign a letter of support requesting the B.C. government strengthen policies to help communities improve energy efficiency in residential buildings. Campbell River was asked to sign the letter because it’s one of several municipalities

opment community (I heard) that there was no objection or no concerns,” Adams said. “The reason that we have the commission is to advise us and as a result, I’ll be supporting this.” The letter, which was written by the Pembina Institute, asks the province to support energy retrofit financing and funding; work with local governments to develop opt-in building regulations; explore and work towards a B.C. wide home labeling requirement; and advance smart modernization of the B.C. building code. The requests are aimed at making it easier for B.C. municipalities and regional districts to meet their energy and climate objectives.

Our View
Changes to CPP needed On Dec. 16 the Conservative federal government opted not to address the very urgent and growing problem that is the Canadian Pension Plan. Instead of offering any sort of We say: We are meaningful reform or choosing to adequately fund CPP so that Canadians living longer can expect to be taken care of - after and drawing on having spent a lifetime of paying taxes - the Conservatives instead opted to pensions more do nothing, and presumably hope the problem just goes away. It’s no secret that CPP is underfunded. And given the country’s demographics -
with millions of Canadians facing retirement in coming years - this is an issue that can’t be put off any longer. Seniors now make up close to 15 per cent of Canada’s population, totalling more than four4 million people. And with the median age in Canada now over 40 years old for the first time ever, the issue of our aging population and how to take care of them isn’t going away. The issue is clear to see: Canadians are living longer, and as a result, drawing on CPP more than in generations past. As result, we need to do a better job of funding CPP if we want it to work. Finance minister Jim Flaherty needn’t worry about his own financial future, of course.
As an MP who has served more than six years in the house of commons, Flaherty has a gold-plated taxpayerfunded pension to draw on for the rest of his life, upon his retirement. The rest of us aren’t so lucky. Adequately funding CPP is the fiscally-responsible thing to do, but it is also politically difficult. As a result, the Conservatives have taken the easy way out, opting for the instant gratification of low taxes in the present at the cost of a stable future for our citizens. And isn’t that how we got into this mess in the first place? – Black Press
Letters
Barry is gone but not forgotten
It is with great regret and sadness that we heard of the recent passing of one of Campbell River’s more prominent personalities, Barrie Brown. Barry was a great supporter of Campbell River and District Food Bank Society. In the mid-90’s, Barry decided we could use a pickup truck to do our daily business, so he donated one, complete with canopy, to us. He added a maintenance contract and a few years later when he realized our truck’s tires were bald, he replaced them. We still drive that truck bearing his name and sponsorship. We have put hundreds of miles on our Barry Brown truck and even though it is showing its age, it is still an active and integral part of our daily life. Gone but never forgotten...we remember Barry for his generosity, his spirit and his support.

The Storm could use a brave guy like young Cole
Paul Rudan No, really
It’s a tough go anytime you stay in hospital; harder still during a special time of year, like the Christmas holidays. And it must be especially difficult when you’re just a kid and they’re not really sure what’s wrong with you. That’s the situation I found Cole Percevault in last Friday at the Campbell River Hospital. I was there too, tagging along with the Campbell River Storm junior hockey players who were handing out new teddy bears and plush toys to patients. It’s something the club does every year and team owner Kevin Spooner – looking like a kid himself as he joined in on the giving fun – said it’s important for the players to be actively involved in their community and to help others.
It’s fun to photograph too, but I wasn’t about to barge into every room with the players and start popping off the flash, scaring the bejesus out of some sick soul in a flimsy hospital nightgown. No, I went where you go when you want the scoop, the lowdown, the goods on everything happening in the ward: the nursing station. “Come with me, we have someone special,” said one of the ever-helpful nurses as I followed her to a room. “He’s really looking forward to meeting the players.” I guess it’s just habit and assumption that you’ll find someone elderly in a hospital bed. That’s usually the case, but not always. In this room on the second floor was an 11-year-old boy with his mom at the
bedside. After introductions, I asked Cole what was wrong. He shrugged, “Don’t know.” “They’re going to send us to Vancouver,” his mom added. They said it so quietly, yet the news was like a punch to the gut. I didn’t let it show though – just couldn’t because Cole was looking back at me with the bravest little smile I’ve ever seen. I could see some fear and maybe even a tear, but Cole’s determined look was not about to betray any weakness, especially with his heroes about to enter the room. Cole’s a Storm fan and his face lit up as the players – boys themselves still – bounced into the room, full of energy
and natural good cheer. “Who’s your favourite? Come on, who?” the players asked Cole. “Severs? You like Jamie Severs?” Cole smiled wider and nodded “ya” as the always-energetic Severs smiled right back. Then they handed Cole a teddy bear which really didn’t mean as much as having the entire junior hockey team in your hospital room. “Wait, we have something really special for you,” said another player as he returned with a huge stuffed lap dog. The toy was almost twice the size of Cole who was still smiling wide as the players moved on to the next room. He looked admiring at the big dog, laid a his hand on its head and said, “I think I’ll give it to my little sister.”

Lost bag of Chirstmas gifts returned to family in time There were some extra smiles on Christmas morning for one Port Hardy family, following the return of a wayward sack of Christmas gifts in time for the big day. After hearing that the Say-
ward RCMP were looking for the owner of a found bag of Christmas gifts, Tiffany Charlie wasted no time calling in to claim them. It seems that the bag of gifts fell out of a family member’s
pick-up truck during transport between Sayward and Port Hardy last weekend. Investigators went through the list of items with Tiffany, checking it twice, and were left with no doubt that that
they were hers. For obvious reasons, Santa had asked the RCMP to keep the list to themselves for now. With time running out to get these gifts back to the Charlie family, Cpl. Milo
Ramsey made the trip from Sayward to Port Hardy Dec. 20. “It was a great feeling to return these gifts, knowing that they will bring happiness to some deserving children
in a few days time”, said Cpl. Milo Ramsey, Detachment Commander for the Sayward RCMP. “Sometimes it is the simplest of gestures that bring out the true spirit of the holidays.”

Shoebox Project doubles their goal for 2013 campaign
www.CampbellRiverMirror.com www.CampbellRiverMirror.com
The Campbell River Coordinators of the Shoebox Project extended thanks everyone who participated in the Shoebox Project for women in Campbell River who have accessed shelter services this past year. They more than doubled their goal of 72 by filling 155 shoeboxes with personal items that women having a difficult time in their lives may not be able to buy for themselves. All the brightly decorated shoeboxes for the women were delivered to the Campbell River and North Island Transition Society by Dec. 17. The response to the project was much greater than expected and so besides providing the gifts to the women who have accessed shelter services this past year, shoeboxes were distributed to other women in need in our community. This was the first year for the Shoebox Project in Campbell River, coordinated by Alison Skrepneck and Susan Dyson. “We are amazed and overwhelmed by the response. This has been so heart-warming to see the love, thought and care people put into making the shoeboxes for the women,” said Skrepneck. Susan Dyson said “I didn’t think it would be so emotional. This is so

positive for the women receiving the gifts, those filling the shoeboxes with personal items, the drop off locations and ourselves as coordinators. It has such a ripple effect.” It has been wonderful to see such generosity and the community pulling together. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to those who filled the shoeboxes with personal items and donated the extras for the women, and to all the staff at our 3 drop-off locations for their support especially Cheryl Lagos and Cary Ann Crowther at Coastal Credit Union, Tara Nelson at Serendipity in the Garden, and Kathy and
Tracy Plato at Sundance Java Bar. It was exciting to hear their stories and enthusiasm as more and more shoeboxes arrived at their locations. We’d also like to thank those in the community who promoted the project, the Shoebox Project volunteers, and staff of Campbell River and North Island Transition Society with special mention to Valery Puetz, Susan Trayler, Melanie Towle, and Sonja Mussenden for their words of encouragement and all
their help along the way to make this project such a huge success! The Shoebox Project for Shelters is a nonprofit initiative and believes that a small gesture can make a big difference. It was begun in Toronto by four sistersin-law in 2011 and now operates in many cities across Canada. The project was new to Campbell River this year.

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

A Look Back
THE HISTORY OF THE CAMPBELL RIVER AREA
Roof collapse spells near disaster New Years Eve 1949
Like the old Campbellton hall, it had served various purposes and many had fond memories of dances and even roller skating activities that went on there. Incidentally, the unique edge-grained plywood floor that was the centrepiece of the original building was salvaged by the Daybreak Rotary Club and used in the Maritime Heritage Centre. If you are looking for the history behind any of Campbell River’s buildings, visit the Museum at Campbell River archives and museum staff will be pleased to assist.
CATHERINE GILBERT MUSEUM AT CAMPBELL RIVER
F
ifty-four years ago, in 1949, Campbell Riverites were looking forward to attending a New Year’s dance being held at the Campbellton Community Hall. In the early hours of the morning of Dec. 31 of that year however, around 3:30 a.m., the roof and walls of the hall collapsed from the heavy weight of over two feet of show that had been piling up on the roof. Only the two end walls were left standing. Fortunately, no one was in the building at the time – had it happened during the evening of the dance, there could well have been a number of injuries or even fatalities. The Campbell River Courier on Jan. 4, 1950 reported: “The loss of the hall is a great blow to residents of the district as it was the only hall in the immediate vicinity large enough to accommodate large size gatherings.” The 49- by 68-foot hall, located on the Island Highway where the Mohawk service station stands today, had been built by volunteer labour in 1925, but the interior was not actually completed nor equipped with sanitary facilities until November of 1949. A busy place, it served as the town’s social centre for concerts, receptions, films, dances, parties, high school graduation exercises and wedding receptions. Around the time the hall collapsed, people had been talking about the
need for a better and larger hall, “as the old hall was proving inadequate for the amount of activity that was going on.” (Helen Mitchell, Diamond in the Rough) As it happened, the Royal Canadian Legion had been thinking in the same vein and donated land it owned on 11th Ave for that purpose. By 1952, a new community hall was under construction owing to fundraising efforts by the Kinsmen and Rotary Clubs, and plenty of volunteer help. Although only partially built, it was already in use as early as 1954. In 1958, a union strike at the paper mill meant that outof-work tradesmen – electricians, carpenters and plumbers – were called upon to help with completion of the project. It was speculated that if it wasn’t for this, the building may never have been finished. By 1964, the Village of Campbell River
took over the hall from the Kinsmen Club for the nominal fee of one dollar. Although it served the community well when Campbell River was just a village of a
few thousand people, the town eventually outgrew this hall, and it was demolished entirely in March of 2000 to make way for the present day community centre.
(Top photo) The Campbellton Community Hall roof collapsed the night before New Year’s Eve, 1949. Eventually, work began in 1952 on a new community hall in downtown Campbell River (below).

City appointments result in some confusion on SRD board of directors Kristen Douglas Campbell RiveR miRRoR
Confusion over new council appointments to the Strathcona Regional District board saw one councillor miss out on a vice-chair position and resulted in two councillors showing up to sit in the same seat. The Dec. 12 board meeting happened to be the regional district’s inaugural meeting which is traditionally the first meeting for the new set of Campbell River councillors elected to the regional district board. The new appointees, Coun. Andy Adams and Coun. Ryan Mennie, both showed up at the inaugural meeting to take their seats at the table. However, outgoing director Coun. Larry Samson also arrived for the meeting. That’s because when council voted last week on its new appointments to the board, the motion specified that “the term of the appointments run from January 1, 2014
until council’s inaugural meeting on Dec. 2, 2014.” Samson ended up giving his seat to Mennie and left before the meeting started and Adams took the seat of Mayor Walter Jakeway who did not show up for the meeting. But because Mennie and Adam’s appointments aren’t supposed to take effect until January 1, both councillors sat through last Thursday’s meeting as alternates. The only glitch was that Adams, as an alternate, was not able to accept a nomination from Quadra Director Jim Abram as vice-chair of the board. Council made its appointments to the regional district board at its financial planning meeting on Dec. 10. The city has been rotating its four councillors representatives to the board on an annual basis in an effort to ensure equal compensation for all councillors. The two councillors who are not appointed

as directors serve as alternates in the event a councillor cannot attend a meeting. In Mayor Jakeway’s report to council on the appointments, he noted that Coun. Samson had requested to serve as an alternate in 2014 and Coun. Moglove asked to stay on the board so she could continue to serve as chair of the hospital board. The councillors app oi nt e d t o t h e regional district board are also automatically appointed as directors on the board of the Comox Strathcona Regional Hospital District and the Comox Strathcona Solid Waste service.

Welcome to the driver’s seat
There are a few coupes still available and one that is worthy of consideration is this new 2014 Honda Accord Coupe V6. Zack Spencer
Visit the Honda Accord Coupe photo gallery at drivewayBC.ca
Honda’s contemporary on a dying breed 2014 Honda Accord Coupe V6 It’s fascinating to watch trends in the auto industry play out over time. Some changes happen quickly, with one manufacturer coming out with a feature, then the rest of the industry following suit. Backup cameras would be a good example of this. Other trends are much slower, changing because of demographic fluctuations. One example of a slow-moving trend is the two-door coupe falling out of favour and its replacement by sedans and crossovers. This trend is greatly affected by baby boomers getting older and buying more for practical reason, rather than styling. In the 1980s, and even the beginning of the 90s, there were plenty of coupes to choose from and they sold well. But where are the Honda Prelude, Toyota Celica, Pontiac Sunfire and Ford Probe coupes? Now gone and many not replaced with newer models. I’m thrilled to report that there are a few coupes still available and one that is worthy of consideration is this new 2014 Honda Accord Coupe V6. Looks The Accord Coupe is based on the all-new Accord sedan that has been selling very well for Honda. In fact, it won the Canadian Car of the Year this year as decided by the Automobile Journalist Association of Canada. Honda has done a good job of updating this big coupe with a more modern twist. Sold in three configurations from the base EX to the EX-L Navi (L stand for leather and navi is self-explanatory),
which are both 4-cylinder way the radio stores and equipped models. The top retrieves pre-set radio trim is the EX-L Navi with stations. It took a long V6. This top trim level is the time to set the stereo model seen here: it comes up and having to go with LED projector headback and forth between lamps, 18-inch wheels and different screens is not duel chrome exhaust tips. If you like the idea that intuitive. The rest of The 4-cylinder equipped the dash is large, with big models come with halogen of a smart looking car cup holder and plenty of headlamps and 17-inch storage areas. that is well equipped alloy wheels. The coupe The steering wheel and powerful, you starts at $26,400, a $2,500 buttons and heat controls premium over the regular might want to move on on the dash use first rate an Accord Coupe. sedan but when the switches and they are sedan is equipped with placed with precision. Zack Spencer alloy wheels, the price is Drive Another trend almost identical. The EX-L that Honda is bucking, with this Accord is $30,100 for the leather and navi and Coupe, is the inclusion of a 6-speed the V6 premium is $35,500. Not an manual transmission and V6 engine. The inexpensive car but most are very well latest movement is to turbo or superequipped. charged 4-cylinder engines to replace V6
‘‘
’’
Inside It’s a big and comfortable coupe. The back seat is actually usable for adults and the front seats are very comfortable. The trunk is huge and the back seat folds for extra long items but the seats do not split and fold, plus the opening to the back seat is small. Standard feature on all Accord models is a backup camera and heated seats. Honda, in my opinion, has raised the bar in the mid-sized category and produced the nicest dash I have seen in this class. There are two screens in the centre console, one for the navigation unit and the other for the radio. They are framed in beautiful, high quality satin metal, chrome and soft touch materials. One area that could be improved is the
power plants and duel clutch automatic transmission in favour of a manual. I’m glad that Honda still offers this layout; it shows they are serious about being a true enthusiast’s car company. Granted, most buyers will get the very good 6-speed automatic transmission with the 3.5L V6, but with 278hp and 252 lb.ft. of torque it will be a very lively car in either configuration. The manual is a joy to use and it is like a throwback to drive a V6 equipped manual car. The 4-cylinder models have 185hp from a direct injection 2.4L engine and either a manual transmission or continuously variable transmission (CVT) for added fuel savings. The CVT is capable of 7.8L/100km in the city and 5.7L on the highway. The
V6 uses more at 10.0L/100km in the city and 6.1L on the highway. Verdict When I started reviewing cars back in the early 1990s, cars like this were common: a mid-sized sedan with a V6 engine and a manual transmission. I can clearly remember driving a Toyota Camry, Nissan Maxima and Accord equipped this way. While most companies are moving away from this design, Honda is sticking with it for now. Soon Honda will have smaller turbocharged 4-cylinder engines available and this big coupe might too be fitted with something more efficient. If you like the idea of a smart looking car that is well equipped and powerful, you might want to move on an Accord Coupe V6 before it follows the latest trend.
The Lowdown Power: 2.4L 4-cylinder with 185hp or 3.5L V6 with 278hp Fill-up: 7.8L/5.7L/100km (city/highway 4-cylinder) Sticker price: $26,400-$35,500

The benefits of pruning trees and shrubs Pruning trees and shrubs is necessary to ensure they maintain their health and vigor. Trees and shrubs should be inspected annually to determine if they need to be pruned. Mature trees typically do not need to be pruned as frequently as young trees, which need pruning to establish branch structure. Trees and shrubs that go years without pruning can become overgrown and weak. In addition to promoting tree and shrub health, pruning pays a host of other dividends. * Pruning removes dead or diseased branches. Pruning helps a tree or shrub maintain its shape and vigor by removing broken, dead or diseased branches that can be unsightly and make it more difficult for the tree or shrub to stay healthy. When broken, dead or diseased branches are removed, trees or shrubs look healthier and add aesthetic appeal to a property. * Pruning trees and shrubs promotes growth of other plants. Trees and shrubs that go years without being pruned become overgrown, making it difficult for plants underneath or adjacent to them to grow in healthy. For example,
grass beneath an overgrown tree might not get adequate sunlight, which it needs to establish strong roots so it can grow in lush and healthy. Pruning allows plants beneath the tree and shrub and even those next to the tree and shrub to grow in nicely. * Pruning can sometimes bring plants back to life. Shrubs that have gone years without being pruned can sometimes still be salvaged. In some instances, pruning such shrubs can restore natural and healthy growth. * Pruning reduces risk of accidents. Overgrown trees can interfere with power lines, increasing the risk of accidents and power outages. In addition, overgrown trees tend to have larger, weaker limbs, which can prove hazardous and cause property damage during storms. Pruning overgrown trees reduces the risk of such accidents.
save themselves the cost of a potentially pricey tree service. * Pruning adds curb appeal. A property littered with overgrown trees and shrubs hurts a home’s curb appeal, giving prospective buyers the impression that homeowners might have been careless with regard to maintaining the whole house and not just the lawn. But trees and shrubs that are pruned and well-maintained can add to a home’s curb appeal, something that goes a long way toward impressing prospective buyers.

Regional district appoints its directors Kristen Douglas CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Strathcona Regional District directors stuck with familiar faces when it came to appointments to external boards. At the board’s inaugu-
ral meeting on Dec. 12, directors were tasked with appointing a representative to outside boards. First up was the Vancouver Island Regional Library board, which meets in Nanaimo.

Learn to whip up some cultural cuisine A fter the scrumptious success of the fall cooking class series, the Immigrant Welcome Centre is announcing the next series in January 2014. The cooking classes will be held every Tuesday evening at the Robron Centre, room A114, on Jan. 7, 14, 21, and 28, from 6 to 8 p.m. Each class is $35, or the series of four classes is on sale for $100. All registration fees are donated to the International Women’s Group in support of their activities, day trips, and guest speakers. This session will feature mouth-watering,
authentic dishes from Japan, Italy, China, and Vietnam. At each class, chef instructors from abroad, who now call Campbell River home, will share their kitchen tips and tricks, and their recipes. Participants will receive a cookbook of the recipes so they can continue their cultural cooking at home. The cooking class series is a welcoming atmosphere to share, not only the chefs’ secrets, but also the stories of their journeys to Canada. “We encourage the participants to ask us questions about our home countries and our
voyage here,” said chef Khammy Quan. Their stories are absolutely uplifting. To register or for more information, please contact the Community Engagement team at (250) 830-0171 or Tamara.Tutt@ImmigrantWelcome.ca The Immigrant Welcome Centre serves the Comox Valley, Campbell River and North Island. They provide services to immigrants to help them integrate and settle into Canada. Over 600 clients have been served in the past year as immigration continues to bring innovative and skilled newcomers to the community.

Mexican school kids investigate their gifts.
Campbell River school children share with those of Liqui, BCS, Mexico
Last June, some School District 72 elementary school principals were asked for school supply donations for a rural school in the Baja, California state of Mexico. Gordon Burkholder was delighted with the response from students, staff and principals at Ripple Rock, Penfield and Oyster River Elementary Schools. “The donated boxes of new and used pencil crayons, pens and pencils, erasers, rulers, notebooks and paper filled my truck and my heart,” Burkholder said. Early on the morning of Monday, Dec. 9 the supplies were taken out of their storage places in preparation of the arrival of the teachers and children of the Jose Vasconcelos Escuela Primaria Rural. “After greetings and introductions I managed to convey the idea that we had come to give gifts to their children from the school children in Campbell River,” Burkholder said.. The children were assembled in the courtyard and arranged by age in single file. The principal, Rosa Perez explained the situation and the procedure for getting their gifts. After that they came up to the tables set out and were given a box of supplies. In English or Spanish they all said thank-you for the gifts and they showed in their eyes how appreciative they were to receive these small presents. The youngest could hardly contain their enthusiasm and were headed back to class ready to open the bags but were called back to their place to wait until everyone had their gift. A few final words and a round of applause from the staff and students and the event was ended.

In Memory of Michael Pallan
Nov. 19, 1965 - Dec. 29, 1996 The passing of time, seventeen years, seems like yesterday. Your cheery smiling face, kind demeanor, sparkling eyes, We remember with heartfelt thoughts, Like it was only a short time ago. Some of the mischievous pranks, You were noted for are fond memories, That time cannot erase. Time, the uncontrollable element, will march on, But it cannot diminish our memories of when you were amongst us. In our hearts and minds forever. Love Mom and Dad LEGALS

60 Minute Club is all about fitness, fun 30 30 || CAMPBELL CAMPBELL RIVER RIVER MIRROR MIRROR | FRIDAY, DECEMBER 27, 2013
Don Fennell BLACk PREss
A
n hour a day of fitness can be made fun, especially when it is coupled with other healthy choices like eating right. That’s the goal of the 60 Minute Kids’ Club, a fun and engaging online program designed to help get elementary school-aged children active. The 60 Minute Kids’ Club is now looking to expand its community reach by partnering with Black Press. “Our strong commitment to healthy communities is well-served in our partnership with the 60 Minute Kids’ Club,” says Randy Blair, president of Black Press’ Lower Mainland and
Vancouver Island divisions. “The benefits of active families are so numerous, it will deliver increasingly great news”. “We want to make (children being healthy) even more of a community effort,” says Gillian Thody, Western Canada manager of the 60 Minute Kids’ Club. And that means engaging more parents on the importance of their children making healthy choices, while demonstrating healthy choices themselves. These include physical literacy (playing for at least 60 minutes each day), eating healthy (including five or more vegetables and fruits daily and eliminating sugar and sweetened drinks), and cutting back on computer and
TV time (two hours or less). Two 60-day challenges and one 45-day challenge are held throughout the school year, skipping over busy times and holidays. The first challenge of the year from Oct. 1 to Dec. 1 has just wrapped up, with the second challenge set to begin Jan. 15. Schools across Canada participate at the same time. Schools can sign up for the challenge at www.60minkidsclub. org. Each student logs in and tracks their own progress, receiving points for each log in, which aggregate under their school. This enables organizers to determine the most active kids, grades, schools, districts,
regions and provinces across Canada. The 60 Minute Kids’ Club, which is aligned with Canadian Sport for Life, originated in 2009 with Innovative Fitness, a personal training business. At that time 5,000 Kindergarten through Grade 6 students in five schools in B.C., Ontario and Nova Scotia participated in a pilot program which produced encouraging results. In 2012, 70 schools in B.C. were involved and the program has now expanded to Alberta and Manitoba. “We hope this year to engage 100 schools in B.C.,” says Thody.

The Campbell River Hurricane goalie reaches out to knock the puck away during a female rep hockey game versus the Juan de Fuca Grizzlies Sunday, Dec. 15 at Rod Brind’Amour Arena.
Young Masters are in control Mainstream Canada Young Masters concluded their league play for the calender year with an important 3-1 victory over a hard working Juan De Fuca in Langford Dec. 15. The win keeps the Division 4 Men’s side at the top of the league as they enter the New Year. The Young Masters began well with Jason Fawkes, Kevin Shelswell, Mark Ross and Jacob Blanchard moving the ball about well and winning the vast majority of the challenges. Up front Wyatt Bryce and Connor Fairweather worked in tireless fashion but couldn’t find the net despite getting close on numerous occasions. Meanwhile at the back, keeper Aidan Anderson was strong and smart
with his distribution. Despite dominating most of the possession, the Campbell River side found it difficult to score and indeed found themselves tied at 0-0 going in at half time. The second half saw the River side move to a more attacking 3-5-2 formation in the hope of releasing the powerful Ross and Blanchard into more offensive positions. It seemed to work as Blanchard scored the opening goal after 65 minutes of play. At the back, Colton Reesor, Mohamed Boukhouali and Tyler Kelly played very well and nullified any threat to goal. The Mainstream Canada boys increased their lead to two after Bryce was brought down
in the 18 yard box and he scored the resulting penalty kick. Juan De Fuca were not giving up without a fight and an excellent individual goal by Kris Walushka brought it back to a one goal game. Once again the partnership of Shane Dumanoir and Bryce was to prove too much for the hosts defence and after some neat passing Bryce secured the third goal after 84 minutes. The boys headed into Christmas break with an impressive record of nine wins and one tie. They stand three points clear at the top above Zgoda Juniors and have a crucial home game on Jan 18 against Vic West Casuals who lie in third place six points adrift of the league leaders.
