Downtown: ‘Move things ahead’ Continued from Pg. 1
Coun. Ron Kerr agreed and said it was incumbent upon council to keep the city progressing. “What we’re doing is trying to develop the feeling down there,” Kerr said. “If we’re afraid to start to visualize it, we’re moving backwards. We’re here as a council to move things ahead, not backwards.” Kerr stressed that council was only approving 18 guiding principles, which were recommended by the consultants, not directing construction. The 18 principles include: connecting the property to the rest of the downtown core; emphasizing pedestrian
priority over vehicles; considering public amenity space; consideration of residential and mixed use development, with significant public park space; ensuring a First Nations identity; having public views to the water, and others. Mayor Walter Jakeway was hesitant, though, to approve drafting principles without the public getting a chance to vet them first. “I think the public needs to see this large document we have (the consultant’s report),” Jakeway said. “I think we need to give them a chance to see what we’re talking about. Our chunk of land has been a hot

topic for decades. I think it needs more publicity.” Coun. Claire Moglove noted that the principles would be in draft form only and then brought back to council before being approved. “ These guidelines would be available for council, for the public, and for the Campbell River Indian Band to look at,” Moglove said. “I do agree with Your Worship (Jakeway), but there has to be something concrete to bring to the public.” Coun.

City launches interactive tax calculator for Area D residents The City of Campbell River’s website now includes a tax calculator that will help Area D residents estimate changes to annual taxes, user fees and other costs if they decide to join the City of Campbell River. Using 2013 rates, the tax calculator allows people to enter their property’s assessed value and fees they pay for solid waste services and septic field maintenance. The tax calculator compares these and estimates what they would pay in city property taxes and other fees in the event of a boundary extension. The tax calculator can be found at www.campbellriver.ca under Planning,
Building & Development. Additional information about the proposed boundary extension that would offer sewer service to properties in the northernmost section of Area D is also available on the website. People are encouraged to ask any questions about the proposal by contacting the City directly by phone (250-286-5700) or via email to info@ campbellriver.ca. An open house will be held from 5-8 p.m. on Feb. 27 at Ocean Grove Elementary (3773 McLelan Road) where Area D residents and property owners will be able to learn more about a proposed boundary extension and sewer service offer. The open house will give the city’s consultant, Urban Systems, an opportunity to gather public feedback on the draft proposal.

Mennie, however, said the Campbell River Indian Band was part of charrette discussions which were held in November as part of Coriolis’ study and subsequent report and its input was received. In the end, council voted in favour of having city staff draft the principle guidelines. Jakeway and Adams were opposed.

The B C SPCA is expected to open its new Campbell River branch this spring. Craig Daniell, chief executive officer of the BC SPCA, said the society plans to open the new 1,800 square foot animal education and adoption centre later in the spring once renovations to its new home are complete. “We have been searching for an appropriate space to resume our services for homeless and abused animals in Campbell River for nearly a year now and we are extremely pleased to have found a space that works for our specialized needs and for the community,” Daniell said in a release. The new animal centre is expected to operate out of the Francophone Association building at 891 13th Avenue pending finalization of a lease agreement with the association, which owns the building. The deal was made possible Tuesday night when city council approved a zoning change to the

property which will allow the building to be used as an education and adoption centre. The SPCA will share the building with the Association Francophone and will use its portion of the building to help animals rescued during cruelty investigations as well as other orphaned animals. Stephanie Arkwright, manager of the Campbell River SPCA, said the centre will be open five days a week and will serve a variety of purposes. “We will be providing specialized emergency services, such as compassionate boarding, and will provide temporary care for injured wildlife until they can be transferred to a wildlife rehabilitation centre or a veterinarian,” Arkwright

said. “In addition to the animals in our care, we will have a retail area for pet food and related products and the centre will be a meeting place for our community volunteers and in the near future, for educational events for youth and adults.” The centre will house cats, kittens, other small animals, and a limited number of dogs and puppies. Arkwright told city council at its meeting Jan. 21 that noise shouldn’t be an issue because the centre will be a scaled-down version of the former animal shelter on Merecroft Road. “The small number of dogs that will be at the centre will be housed indoors,” Arkwright said. “Dogs outside will be in our enclosed backyard

for exercise and socialization as well as bathroom breaks but will be accompanied by staff and volunteers. Our goal is to have dogs that are available for adoption, in foster homes, and have a few dogs at the centre during business hours.” City staff told council the centre will be within an enclosed building and be used for temporary care of animals. The centre is only allowed to keep a limited number of dogs and puppies at any one time and can only board animals for a maximum of 10 days per animal, according to the city bylaw. Arkwright said the SPCA will be calling on community volunteers to help foster animals and teach educational programs. “We are hoping that we can establish a strong volunteer program as quickly as possible, including on-site volunteers, foster homes, humane educators to assist with school programs, summer camps and other youth activities, community fundraisers and more,” Arkwright said.

Willows Pub sale could be held up by red tape KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Bureaucratic red tape could delay the sale of the Willows Pub on Rockland Road. Council, which was in support of granting a rezoning change to allow the building to be turned into office space, was dismayed to learn Tuesday night that the process could take more than a month. That’s because the city’s sustainable official community plan locks the property in as a site that can only be used for community use. In order to change that, council will need to make an amendment to the plan, which can be a lengthy process. Ross Blackwell, the city’s land use manager, told council that following third reading on the re-zoning, staff will have to make the changes to the sustainable official community plan, then council will have to pass first and second reading on those changes, hold a public hearing, then pass third and fourth reading before they can be adopted. Coun. Andy Adams wasn’t impressed to hear it would take so long. “What options may be available to us to expedite the process?” Adams asked. Blackwell replied that council could schedule special meetings of council. If council keeps to its existing meeting schedule, it could be at least six weeks before everything is complete, as council meets every two weeks. That would mean the rezoning and official community plan amendment wouldn’t be approved until April 1. The closing date for the sale of the

Willows Pub to log broker Storey Creek Trading is March 31. That concerned Mayor Walter Jakeway. “That’s going to take quite awhile, we’re holding up the seller and the buyer for a long time and for a third public hearing seems incredibly ridiculous,” Jakeway said. Council already held a public hearing Feb. 4 for the re-zoning portion of the application. Council heard from pub co-owner Sue Thulin that even if the re-zoning doesn’t go through, the pub will be closing March 30 as it’s time for her to retire. Coun. Claire Moglove said after listening carefully to the comments made at the public hearing and reading through all of the correspondence council has received, she supports the re-zoning to accommodate the sale of the pub. “It appears to me that the vast majority of peo-

Waste service tax to jump 100 per cent www.CampbellRiverMirror.com www.CampbellRiverMirror.com
Necessitated by decline in waste being dumped Kristen Douglas CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
The Comox Strathcona Waste Management service has approved a tax increase of more than 100 per cent to help with the costs of closing landfills across the region. The solid waste board, which consists of Campbell River and Comox Valley councillors, as well as both Strathcona and Comox Valley regional district directors, last Thursday approved a $400,000 tax increase – from $200,000 in 2013 to $600,000 in 2014.
That translates to roughly $8 for a residential taxpayer with an average assessed home of $261,000, said Koreen Gurak, manager of communications for the Comox Valley Regional District. The tax hike is necessary for the solid waste service to pay for increasing service costs which include developing landfill closure plans for the Gold River, Tahsis and Zeballos waste management centres and replacing them with transfer stations; completing the Campbell River waste management centre closure plans and subsequent landfill closure construction; and expanding the landfill in Cumberland. The tax increase can also be attributed to a decline in the amount of waste being dumped. “Bioremediation soil ton-
nage was down by approximately 50 per cent in 2013 compared to 2012 actual tonnage and this waste stream revenue is projected to decline further by approximately $150,000 in 2014 compared to 2013,” said Debra Oakman, chief administrative officer of the Comox Valley Regional District, in a report to the solid waste board. “Construction and demolition waste tonnages continued to decline in 2013 and were down by approximately 16 per cent when comparing 2013 to 2012 actual tonnages.” Oakman said it’s expected that within the next five years tonnage is expected to be reduced by 8,000 tonnes a year, which translates to an 11 per cent reduction in tonnage revenues. To help offset the loss of revenue, the board also approved
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 2014 | CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR | 7
a new site access fee of $4 for every vehicle that uses either the Campbell River or Comox Valley waste management centre. Edwin Grieve, chair of the solid waste board, said there will, however, be some exemptions. “For the vast majority of the residents who use the waste management centres, the tipping fees will still remain affordable,” Grieve said in a release. “The new site access fee would not be applicable to those using the recycling bins or dropping off grass and leaves.” The board also approved an increase in the minimum load charge from $4 for loads weighing not more than 60 kilograms to $6 for loads weighing no more than 100 kilograms. As well, the fees for clean fill (soil, turf or
clean debris suitable for landfill cover) will be raised from $5 per tonne to $15 per tonne. The board also recommended a temporary suspension of the wood waste and drywall diversion programs, effective immediately, and a change to the drywall fee from $200/tonne to $110 per tonne as the material would become an aggregate of construction and demolition debris. While the solid waste board approved its budget last week, the financial plan will need to be included in the Comox Valley Regional District’s budget bylaw which is set to be adopted at the end of March. The waste management service is a function of the Comox Valley Regional District which serves communities within both the Comox Valley and Strathcona regional districts.

Our View
Compost Education Centre worth keeping Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Strathcona regional directors found a way to keep the Campbell River Compost Education Centre alive. The Comox Strathcona Waste Management board voted last week We say: It to keep the centre open after Comox Valley Regional District staff, which was also a provides direction to the solid waste rare episode of board, had recommended last fall that the board close both compost cooperation education centres in the Comox Valley and Campbell River to save $137,227 in 2014. But it took some effort on the part of Strathcona Regional District directors to keep the Campbell River centre open.
The SRD directors saw how popular and valuable the Compost Education Centre is in the Campbell River area and worked towards a compromise that would keep it open. The Comox Valley directors on the regional waste management board did not have any interest in keeping either their centre open or Campbell River’s. And because the Valley directors carried the vote, it didn’t look good for the centres. It took a $20,000 contribution by SRD Area D director Brenda Leigh to make approving the total $42,700 cost of the Campbell River centre palatable to Comox Valley directors. Leigh pointed out the cost of keeping the Campbell River centre open would not add more than a penny to overall taxes and so she nudged the vote in the right direction with money coming from Area
D’s budget for a compost centre in Maple Park. Leigh recognized the Campbell River centre serves the whole region and that Area D’s contribution won’t impact the Maple Community Gardens project slated to go ahead this spring. So, kudos to Leigh for making it happen. A sidebar to this is this is the issue that forced the removal of Campbell River Mayor Walter Jakeway off as a regional district representative because city councillors felt he would not represent the will of the majority of council and that he should. Jakeway is opposed to spending the money to keep the Compost Education Centre open, whereas the majority of city council is. Presumably, Jakeway would have voted against this compromise proposal.
Letters
Far reaching effects
This isn’t an open letter to the government. They are not listening. This is a letter to the people who rely on the ferry as a means of transportation, whether to do business or live their lives. The BC Ferries “Community Engagements” were not a true form of consultations. Cuts are coming and we have now been “invited” to give our input as to the scheduling of those minimal runs. I read with great interest last week’s letter to the editor in the North Island Gazette from a coalition of European tour operators. They stated their dismay at the short notice of cuts, the detrimental effects this will have on their businesses and the legal implications for them, as they have contractual obligations with other partners. The Liberal’s cuts have had far reaching effects. We spent years building relationships with our foreign travel agents and in one fell swoop we have severed those ties in the most brutal way. If these cuts are affecting people in Europe, think what they are doing to the people of Vancouver Island and especially the Northern Route residents. Tourism aside, what about the socioeconomic impacts to these communities? How can one put a price on the hardship that has now been placed on them? Isolation, higher food costs and loss of business opportunities, just to name a few. Continued on Pg. 9

Deflection off the head is a ‘great goal’ in Sochi
Paul Rudan No, really
The game of chess is revered by Russians, but it has no place in hockey. That’s the mind-numbing impression you’re left with after watching the Olympic men’s hockey tournament. It’s not entirely the Russians’ fault, but they are hosting the Sochi Games, so let the blame fall at their feet. They’ll see it down there too, particularly the members of Team Russia who just might hang their heads until spring. The downcast moping is well-deserved after the host team, medal favourites, were rightly bounced by the hated Finns. Team Russian was loaded with NHL stars – who played the same number of minutes as their sluggish KHL teammates – but they typically played as individuals while the Finns play as a team.
The most telling image of the Russian’s attitude came late in the third period. Trailing 3-1, “the great forward” Yevgeni Malkin was knocked down at centre ice and remained there on hands on knees. I thought he was really hurt, but he slowly got back up, but then he didn’t return to the bench! Nope, he skated back into the play as if someone had hitched a piano to his pants. Team play was the difference on Wednesday, but the fact remains: It’s been a dullsville tournament because more than half the teams embrace a chess/soccer defensive strategy based on the premise, “Don’t $#!* up and maybe we’ll score on a deflection off Ollie’s huge forehead.” The most offensive part of this hockey
tournament isn’t the goal scorers, but the BO wafting from the changerooms. And that’s unfortunate given the level of talent at the Olympics. Team Canada has demonstrated a supremely deft passing game – something the Russians used to be good at – but rarely have these tape-to-tape passing plays resulted in highlight reel goals. Instead, each offensive push is met by three or four opponents falling over each other in front of the net – like watching an awkward version of Twister. It was getting a little frustrating in the quarter-final against Latvia. At one point I blurted out to my editorial colleagues, “In the old days they would’ve fired the puck at the other guy’s head if he’s going throw himself in front of the net!”
Today, that sort of play is frowned upon, but one Latvian defender did gimp off the ice after being struck in the leg by a Shea Webber bullet. It wasn’t a short gimp either given the enormous size of the Olympic ice surface and that’s the biggest problem. On this side of the pond we’re used to seeing hockey on a smaller rink where play is definitely quicker. As well, you rarely see players lining up like pawns waiting to be shot down. Sure, there’s lots of shot-blocking in the NHL, but there’s still loads more offence. Now that I’ve got that off my mind, I’m hoping the Canadian gals are enjoying their gold medals and...let’s go boys! paulr@campbellrivermirror.com

Ferries: Rally on March 11
Continued from Pg. 8
Local governments have spoken out formally and informally. Citizens came to the meetings with an attitude of collaboration, willing to work with the government and BC Ferries to find a solution. Their voices went unheard. This is the time to fight and to fight passionately. We need to stand up with a collective voice, link arms with our First Nations communities that will be severely affected and send a voice

loud and clear that this is not acceptable. Giving our input to a drastically cut schedule is not an option. The “We asked you” section of the Gazette asked us, “Was the BC Coastal Ferries Community Engagement a waste of taxpayers’ money?” 80% responded with a resounding yes! What if every adult that was part of Vancouver Island or a coastal community wrote a letter? What if you engaged friends and family that
live on the mainland to support us and also write? What if that included all the companies that do business on the Island? Remember the CORE (Coalition of Resource Employees) rally in Victoria during the 80’s meant to show the government the amount of revenue generated on the Island from logging? How about the HST referendum? When the people rose up do you think those things made a difference? You bet
they did! There will be a Defend Our Marine Highways Rally on the Legislature lawn in Victoria on March 11. Try to make it there. Write a letter. Information for action is available on both the bcferrycoalition.org and bcmarinehighway.org websites. Now is not the time for apathy. Make your voice heard! You can make a difference!

Look at what’s happening in our city these days and we still haven’t broken ground on the new hospital and Hydro projects. Construction is booming and we’re just getting started! Just a few short years ago our situation was much different. Our Mill shut down, logging was affected by the stock market crash, as was the world’s economic situation. Things were very bleak back then. Many of our citizens fell on hard times and did what they could to make it through to the next day.

Anti-GE move will harm Island farmers
I have a lot of respect for Morgan Ostler and the work she has done to make our community a better place. I also enjoy reading her column and have learned many interesting and useful things. However, I have concerns with her latest column (“Anti-GE movement hits Campbell River,” Feb. 19, 2014). My greatest concern with her column is that
I believe advocating to make Vancouver Island a “GE free zone” will harm many farmers and their families from Black Creek to Saanich. There are a lot of dairy farms on Vancouver Island, and GE corn is commonly used for cattle feed. Why? Because with GE corn, farmers have fewer problems with pests, use less pesticides, have less wastage, use less water
and use less land than with other varieties. Forcing Vancouver Island dairy farmers to abandon GE corn seeds would force them to use more land and resources to grow the same amount of feed for their animals, and would drive up their costs. It would likely put their livelihoods at risk by making their farms uncompetitive, and I do Cont. page 10

Funding to support ESL transition at NIC
North Island College will receive $125,000 to transition English as a Second Language (ESL) programs to a new model where immigrant settlement services are directly administered by the federal government. B.C. public post-secondary institutions are receiving $10.5 million in total as one-time funding that is part of an initial transition plan the B.C. Ministry of Advanced Education has devel-
oped with public post-secondary institutions and the federal government. The funding will help institutions most impacted by the federal government’s decision to end the Canada-B.C. Immigration Agreement effective April 1, 2014. The cancellation of the CanadaB.C. Immigration Agreement changes the way ESL is delivered in British Columbia. Citizen-
ship and Immigration Canada will fund ESL programs directly through contracts it is currently negotiating with not-for-profit agencies and a limited number of post-secondary institutions. The B.C. government will continue to work with public postsecondary institutions to manage the transition to the new federal ESL funding model, and mitigate the impact on students, faculty and staff.

Insulin kit found on morning trip to work
I found a bag containing someone’s insulin kit on my way home from work last Friday. Someone had the foresight to put a yellow sheet of paper labeled “Lost Insulin”. I spotted it at the corner of Nodales and Erickson. Can you help me to get this item back to this person? It contains a complete kit. Yikes!

not believe this should be taken lightly by Vancouver Island politicians. Pitting organic farmers against conventional farmers is inappropriate. There’s a place for both products in the grocery store. Another concern is that the very first sentence in her column is false: it is not true that genetically-engineered (GE) seeds have been banned from all countries in Europe. In fact, there are a wide variety of GE seeds approved by the European Union, as shown in the EU Regis-
ter of Authorised GMOs. And while it is true that there are worldwide concerns about GE foods, just because people are concerned about something doesn’t mean it is bad. Crops have been genetically modified for thousands of years using conventional breeding, hybridization, mutagenesis, and selection. Genetic engineering is taking a gene that offers a desirable trait — such as resistance to drought — and inserting it into a seed’s DNA. It’s an evolutionary shortcut that actually has few undesirable side-effects,
compared to other seed modification processes. Even though some scientists disagree about the safety of GE foods, the majority of scientific research shows that GE crops are safe. An overview of the last 10 years of genetically engineered crop safety research (nearly 2,000 studies), published in October 2013, concluded that “The scientific research conducted so far has not detected any significant hazards directly connected with the use of GE crops.” Grant Warkentin Campbell River

The Corolla is sold in several different trim levels, starting at $15,995 to get the base CE, but the reality is that most Canadians will upgrade to the $19,215 S (Sport) or the LE for $19,500. To upgrade to this $20,500 LE Eco model is $1,035 over the S model and $750 over the regular LE. I prefer the S trim for its more aggressive 17-inch wheels compared to the LE and LE Eco, which come with smaller 16-inch wheels.

The base CE is sold with either a 6-speed manual or the 4-speed automatic found in the last model. The only other model to be offered with a manual is the S trim.

Some classics wear their price tags on their sleeves. Look at a fuel-injected ’57 Chevy Bel Air, and it’s immediately apparent that it’s valuable merchandise. On the other hand, there are the sleepers of the classic car world, the cars that are worth a lot of money but it’s only obvious to those in-the-know. For example, few would guess that the proceeds from a restored VW microbus could put a kid through college. Here are five you’d never suspect of being quite pricey: 1.

Five classics you’d never guess are so valuable classic Fiat 500 that was meant to be stowed onboard yachts and used as transport in places like Monaco and Positano. They have no doors, the seats are made of wicker and the tops are meant only to provide shade. Appallingly cute, the pint-sized Jolly can sell for upwards of $70,000. 3. Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser:

Fun cars for singles under $30,000
’’
Alexandra Straub Yes, you can buy fun cars for under 30 grand. A few weeks ago, I recommended five fun coupes for singles, whose base prices didn’t start with a three. Readers demanded more so here are five more cars that are a little easier on the wallet in purchase and operation. Disclaimer, you don’t have to be single and willing to mingle to fall in love with these vehicles. In fact, some of them are family friendly. No really, they are. Ford Focus ST- $29,999 Hot hatch? I think so. Ford’s Focus ST (ST meaning Sports Technologies) is quite the exciting ride. As soon as you sit inside the Ford Focus ST cabin, you’re embraced by Recaro sport seats that hug you and don’t let go. There’s a six-speed manual gearbox that’s then connected to a 2.0L High-Output EcoBoost I-4 engine. The high-output engine puts out 252 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque. Yes, that’s a herd of horses under the hood, but driving this sport-tuned version of ST is actually quite agreeable in the city. Chevrolet Sonic RS -
$23,995 The Sonic RS Hatchback might not be the first choice of “performance” vehicle on your list, but that doesn’t mean it couldn’t be added. This five-door has some cool features like: a unique RS liftgate-mounted rear spoiler, 17-inch Midnight Silver painted-aluminum wheels, Lane Departure Warning, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with contrasting stitching and flat-bottom design, and leatherappointed seating surfaces with ‘sueded’ microfibre inserts. That’s on top of seating for five and a powerplant comprised of a 1.4L, turbocharged 4-cylinder with 138 horsepower and 148 lb-ft of torque. Fiat 500 Abarth - $20,995 Anytime you see a scorpion on something – or in real life – you can count on there being some sort of sting. The Fiat 500 Abarth is no different, except this sting makes you smile. This pint-sized two-door might look somewhat cutesy, but the terrestrial arachnid badging denotes otherwise. Turn the ignition on and the rumble of the dual exhaust comes to life. It’s anything but tame in tone. Put the five-speed, heavy duty manual transmission into gear and hopefully you’ll be able to make good use of the 160 horsepower and 170 lb-ft of torque. That’s the kind of power being generated from its 1.4L, MultiAir turbocharged engine. Along with a performance tuned-suspension, performance brakes and 16-inch wheels, this Fiat might be small, but makes up any “size matters” issues with its dynamic performance. Honda Civic SI (Coupe/ Sedan) - $26,245/$26,250 Take the exceptional reliability of Honda, its popular-selling
Civic coupe/sedan, lace it with a potent engine and some cool gadgetry and you have the SI trim. Up until only a few years ago, the Civic SI was only offered in coupe format, but that changed in 2007. Those who wanted performance and practicality would be granted access to PLEASE READ THE FINE PRINT: Offers valid until February 28, 2014. See toyota.ca for complete details on all cash back offers.

Putting a stop to bullying on Pink Shirt Day… Kerry Vital / Black Press Names such as Amanda Todd and Rehtaeh Parsons are sadly well-known to many Canadians. Both teens committed suicide after years of bullying at the hands of classmates. On Feb. 26, Canadians will recognize Pink Shirt Day, a day devoted to preventing bully-
ing and helping children and teens who are being victimized. For some people, bullying hits very close to home. Tad Milmine, now an RCMP constable, is one of them. As a child, Milmine was bullied relentlessly by classmates and locked in the basement by his stepmother every
day for 12 years. His father, an alcoholic, never tried to help him, even when Milmine’s stepmother verbally abused him. “I always held out hope that one day an adult would see that I was in the basement and perhaps ‘rescue’ or ‘save’ me,” he says. “No one ever came.” At 17, Milmine ran away from home and cut all ties with his father and stepmother. Still, he
struggled with being extremely introverted and emotional. While he had dreamed of being a police officer for much of Tad Milmine his life, he didn’t feel confident enough to act on that dream. At 33, he finally felt able to take that step and do what he loved after encouragement from an officer he met while playing baseball. “I nev-

er acted on my dream because I truly believed it was just a dream,” he says. “I thought that dreams weren’t meant to be achieved.” Milmine was moved by the 2011 suicide of Ontario teen Jamie Hubley, who killed himself after years of bullying for being gay and a figure skater, to start Bullying Ends Here, a website that tells Hubley’s story as well as his own. Milmine has travelled all over Canada and the U.S. speaking to students and encouraging them to contact him if they need help. In the presentations, he shares his own story and that of Hubley, and tells the students that he understands what it’s like to be an outcast, and that he too is gay, just like Hubley. He shares this information to point out that he is no different than the people listening to him in the audience. “I never let my sexuality stand in the way of living out a dream,” Milmine says. “I never let the negativity while growing up stand in my way.” Milmine’s presentations are done on his own time and with his own money. “I always wanted to ‘help’ people and today I am lucky enough to be in that position,” says Milmine. “Youth need to know that nobody can help them if they don’t speak up. You have to share, have to ask for help. Give us a chance to help.” Sixty-four per cent of Canadian children have been bullied at school at some point, according to the Pink Shirt Day campaign, and 40 per cent of Canadian employees are bullied at the workplace on a weekly basis.
“Pink Shirt Day gets people talking,” Milmine says. “People are talking about it leading up to it, and on the day itself. You’re going to talk about why you’re wearing a pink shirt that day, and youth are reminded of the resources available to them.” Pink Shirt Day was started in Nova Scotia by two teenage boys who, after seeing another male student bullied for wearing a pink shirt, decided to gather their friends and all wear pink to school. CKNW AM 980 was inspired by their action, and since 2007 has raised over $650,000 for anti-bullying programs in B.C. through the sale of their pink shirts. You can purchase your own shirt at London Drugs or online. This year’s campaign is being presented by Coast Capital Savings, with Black Press as a media partner. For more information about Pink Shirt Day, visit www.pinkshirtday. ca. Milmine’s website can be found at www.bullyingendshere.ca.
The dangers of Ask.fm The website and smartphone app Ask.fm is a social-networking site where people can ask other users questions. It’s extremely popular with pre-teens and teens, but recently it has become well-known for facilitating cyber-bullying instead. It has been referenced in several suicide cases around the world as part of the bullying the victim experienced that led to their suicide. The biggest issue with Ask.fm is that questions can be submitted anonymously, and content is not monitored, so abuse of the service can be rampant with no repercussions to the user. Even if someone is blocked, that person can still view profiles and see other interactions, and privacy settings cannot be increased as they can on Facebook and Twitter. According to RCMP Const. Tad Milmine, the Latvia-based website also sends daily spam with messages suggesting users kill themselves and calling them ugly, among others, with no name attached. Parents are urged to monitor all social media accounts and talk to their children about their online activities in an effort to prevent cyberbullying, and remember that the terms of service of Facebook, Twitter and Ask.fm require users to be at least 13.

His father, an alcoholic, never tried to help him, even when Milmine’s stepmother verbally abused him. “I always held out hope that one day an adult would see that I was in the basement and perhaps ‘rescue’ or ‘save’ me,” he says. “No one ever came.” At 17, Milmine ran away from home and cut all ties with his father and stepmother. Still, he
struggled with being extremely introverted and emotional. While he had dreamed of being a police officer for much of Tad Milmine his life, he didn’t feel confident enough to act on that dream. At 33, he finally felt able to take that step and do what he loved after encouragement from an officer he met while playing baseball. “I nev-

er acted on my dream because I truly believed it was just a dream,” he says. “I thought that dreams weren’t meant to be achieved.” Milmine was moved by the 2011 suicide of Ontario teen Jamie Hubley, who killed himself after years of bullying for being gay and a figure skater, to start Bullying Ends Here, a website that tells Hubley’s story as well as his own. Milmine has travelled all over Canada and the U.S. speaking to students and encouraging them to contact him if they need help. In the presentations, he shares his own story and that of Hubley, and tells the students that he understands what it’s like to be an outcast, and that he too is gay, just like Hubley. He shares this information to point out that he is no different than the people listening to him in the audience. “I never let my sexuality stand in the way of living out a dream,” Milmine says. “I never let the negativity while growing up stand in my way.” Milmine’s presentations are done on his own time and with his own money. “I always wanted to ‘help’ people and today I am lucky enough to be in that position,” says Milmine. “Youth need to know that nobody can help them if they don’t speak up. You have to share, have to ask for help. Give us a chance to help.” Sixty-four per cent of Canadian children have been bullied at school at some point, according to the Pink Shirt Day campaign, and 40 per cent of Canadian employees are bullied at the workplace on a weekly basis.
“Pink Shirt Day gets people talking,” Milmine says. “People are talking about it leading up to it, and on the day itself. You’re going to talk about why you’re wearing a pink shirt that day, and youth are reminded of the resources available to them.” Pink Shirt Day was started in Nova Scotia by two teenage boys who, after seeing another male student bullied for wearing a pink shirt, decided to gather their friends and all wear pink to school. CKNW AM 980 was inspired by their action, and since 2007 has raised over $650,000 for anti-bullying programs in B.C. through the sale of their pink shirts. You can purchase your own shirt at London Drugs or online. This year’s campaign is being presented by Coast Capital Savings, with Black Press as a media partner. For more information about Pink Shirt Day, visit www.pinkshirtday. ca. Milmine’s website can be found at www.bullyingendshere.ca.
The dangers of Ask.fm The website and smartphone app Ask.fm is a social-networking site where people can ask other users questions. It’s extremely popular with pre-teens and teens, but recently it has become well-known for facilitating cyber-bullying instead. It has been referenced in several suicide cases around the world as part of the bullying the victim experienced that led to their suicide. The biggest issue with Ask.fm is that questions can be submitted anonymously, and content is not monitored, so abuse of the service can be rampant with no repercussions to the user. Even if someone is blocked, that person can still view profiles and see other interactions, and privacy settings cannot be increased as they can on Facebook and Twitter. According to RCMP Const. Tad Milmine, the Latvia-based website also sends daily spam with messages suggesting users kill themselves and calling them ugly, among others, with no name attached. Parents are urged to monitor all social media accounts and talk to their children about their online activities in an effort to prevent cyberbullying, and remember that the terms of service of Facebook, Twitter and Ask.fm require users to be at least 13.

Fundraising dinner and auction raises $16,000 for salmon Tribute paid to generosity of community
T
he Campbell River Pacific Salmon Foundation dinner committee hosted a westernthemed evening for their 2014 dinner and auction, which was held on Feb. 8 at the Fraternal Order of Eagles Hall. Attendees dressed in their best western duds, and were greeted with a signature cocktail and country music. With the support of the local community, the volunteer organizers raised more than $16,000 to support salmon conservation, restoration and
enhancement activities in Campbell River Rose’s Country Catering prepared delicious seafood appetizers, followed by a countrystyle buffet and desserts. Later in the evening, Greg Rollo of Rollo Marketing conducted an exciting live auction which featured angling adventures, original artwork and other unique items. All auction proceeds will be directed to volunteer-driven salmon projects within the Campbell River region. During the evening’s presentations, Mark Wunsch, President of Discovery Passage SeaLife Society, spoke about the new Discovery Passage Aquarium facility. In 2013, the Discovery Passage SeaLife

Society received $13,000 in funding from the Pacific Salmon Foundation for a salmon display tank and educational salmon life cycle signage at the new aquarium at the Fishing Pier. Volunteer dinner chair, Larry Stefanyk, wrapped up presentations by thanking major supporters Save-onFoods, the Campbell River Mirror, the Kinsmen Club and Ridgerider, among others for their generous support. Stefanyk emphasized, “It is the generosity of the community that makes these fundraising events
possible. Those of you who purchase a ticket, make a donation, support our auctions, or volunteer your time, are the salmon heroes in our community”. In 2013 Pacific Salmon Foundation granted $26,675 to five salmon projects in the Campbell River region. Since 1989, more than $790,000 has been directed into 117 projects in the area. Through local fundraising efforts and community partnerships, volunteers have leveraged that funding to equal a total value of more than $5.2 million.
Beautiful flies, artwork and other auction items were up for sale to raise money for salmon enhancement.

Researchers at Island Health have found that patients having a heart attack get faster access $ to life-saving treatment by calling 9-1-1 than by making their own way to hospital. Many patients hesitate to call 9-1-1 because they aren’t sure what is happening, or they don’t want to tie up emergency services. “Patients must recognize that denial is a bit of the symptom complex with a heart attack,” says Island Health cardiac specialist Dr. Eric Fretz. “That 9-1-1 call and making sure they are transported quickly and directly to cardiac care can literally save their life if they truly are having a heart attack.” When Gordon Anderson woke up early in October 2012, he had a feeling something was very wrong. “I hesitated at first to call 9-1-1 because I didn’t know if my condition was serious enough. But I had spent years working as a first responder and I didn’t want to be ASB-VI-NWT-Y

from food. As improved therapies have helped to address the malnutrition issues, ultimately most deaths related to cystic fibrosis are due to lung disease. There is no cure. The funds contributed by Walmart will go to support high quality clinical care for people with cystic fibrosis and to fund the medical scientific research to find a cure or control for CF. Bonni Roset, a 30-year volunteer with the Campbell River Chapter says, “I have seen the difference that has been made by improved treatments for people with cystic fibrosis that have been made during the time I have been volunteering. It is heart warming to know children diagnosed with CF now will have a chance at having a productive life - so much better than when I first started volunteering for Cystic Fibrosis Canada. The funds definitely will make a difference.”

one of those people who didn’t call for help right away and was sorry later,” he says. Paramedics started treatment immediately and got him quickly to hospital. Quick intervention meant there was no lasting damage to his heart muscle. Island Health cardiac specialists recommend calling 9-1-1 immediately if someone has chest pain or other signs of a heart attack. BC Ambulance Service’s highly trained medical dispatchers and paramedics can initiate treatment immediately, which means patients get care much faster than by making their way to hospital on their own. In most circumstances, the faster appropriate care is begun, the better the outcome for patients with chest pain or other cardiac symptoms. According to a recent Island Health study in Victoria, patients experiencing a heart attack who arrived via ambulance accessed life-saving treatment in 63 minutes compared to 114 minutes on average for those who made their own way to hospital.

Downhiller finally straps on the Nordic boards Paul Rudan
Campbell RiveR miRRoR
My first experience on cross country skis wasn’t so good. But the second time is a different story. First, flash back 25 years when Nordic skis were heavier and the boots…well, the boots were more like wooden shoes. Anyway, I set out for a happy ski through the woods when I found out about wax or rather lack of wax and even lack of the proper wax. I was able to hoof it a few clicks, literally clumping and alternatively cursing as the splendour of the forest escaped my attention. The charm was also spoiled by someone panting like an old steam engine – namely me. From that day on I vowed to spend my winter days on downhill skis. Nevertheless, I always marvelled at the Nordic skiers as they struck out to Paradise Meadows at Mt. Washington Alpine Resort. They all looked so fit, rosy-cheeked and they certainly weren’t wearing heavy, cumbersome ski jackets. No sir, almost looks like they had stepped out of a yoga class. Still, I continued to downhill because that’s what my friends did. Finally though, I promised a friend who cross country skis to give Nor-
dic another chance. Last Friday we made the trip up to the Raven Lodge at Mt. Washington’s Nordic Centre where we were greeted by the super-friendly staff. “So, finally going to give real skiing a try?” the gal at the front desk said with a smile after I had told her my story. Getting outfitted took just a few minutes and I was pleased how comfortable the high-top boots fit my stupidlywide feet. The skis were light and strong, and when I slipped them on I can tell you that they do excellent waxing at the Nordic Centre. The staff suggested I join the noon-hour lesson, but I felt confident my ski partner, Bridget Tremblay, could provide enough tips to get me started. And hey, if not, she could always dump me in the beginner class. But it wasn’t that hard and more fun than I expected on the trackset course that took us up the Jutland route. My first challenge was to get in the rhythm and by that I mean learning to stride and slide while moving your arms in unison. But it didn’t take long, maybe 15 minutes, to get the hang of it and I also learned by watching the other skiers. This time around, I was enjoying the scenery and I wasn’t huffing and puffing – well not very

hard! – as we climbed up Jutland. Actually, it seemed we kept going higher and higher, each hill more challenging, as we headed up The Grind. “Pay no attention the black diamond markers,” Tremblay said with a laugh, as we passed the sign indicating the most challenging runs. Up and up we went until we reached Marmot Flats, and then the snow started lightly falling and it really became a winter wonderland. We skied through the mossdraped trees and up and
down small hills until we came to the final hill. This looked more like downhill and with my Nordic confidence at an

Round trip we did about 7.5 kilometres and it gave me my first real “taste” of Nordic skiing. Next time I’ll go further, try new runs, see new sights and probably fall flat on my face again too.

all-time high, I tucked and held my poles tight to my side as I began to pick up speed…and more speed. Faster and faster I went, nearly knocking over Tremblay as I passed her at Mach 1. The wind was forcing tears from the corners of my eyes as I suddenly began to make out the tight corner quickly approaching at the bottom. My i n n e r t h i g h s burned as I dug in, trying to carve the turn… halfway around…almost there…and then the forces of mass and speed took over and I was hurled across the run into the fluffy snowbank – face first! I was still laughing as Tremblay, arriving at a much more sane pace, came around the corner and saw me half driven

Facial recognition software may one day be used to find lost pets Runaway or lost pets can be devastating to pet owners. Many pet owners go to great lengths, including inserting microchips beneath pets' skin, to ensure they can find pets should those pets get lost. And pet owners may even have a new option at their disposal, as facial recognition software could soon help to reunite lost pets with their owners faster and more effectively.
Standard measures to retrieve lost pets can be effective, but they are not foolproof. Tags can fall off or become illegible, and pet owners may not be diligent in updating microchip records with current contact information should they move. If someone finds a pet, he or she may still have difficulty finding the owner. Dogs or cats surrendered to pet shelters may end up with new adoptive families or spend significant time in shelters.

With this in mind, Philip Rooyakkers, the CEO of PiP -The Pet Recognition Company, began to experiment with facial recognition software to see if it might be effective with pets. According to Rooyakkers, who is attempting to raise funds to bring the software to market, the technology is able to recognize 98 percent of pets. Additional data, including breed, weight and color, may allow PiP software to recognize nearly every lost pet. The technology employs a smartphone app and data uploaded to a central system. Pet owners sign up for the program and then upload photos of their pets to the system. The technology will analyze the pet's unique facial features and store the information in its database. Pet owners will pay a subscription rate, a portion of which will be
donated to local pet rescue charities, and should their pet go missing, PiP will alert animal control rescue agencies, social media outlets and vets. Additionally, anyone can download the app to report found pets.
precautions to prevent their pets from going missing. • Always walk dogs on leashes. Even a well-behaved dog may be attracted by another animal and give rise to a chase. • Ensure that yard gates are securely latched when animals are left outside.
In addition to issuing a lost pet alert via social media and to app subscribers, the technology will scan found pet postings and use facial recognition software to match the lost pet with the uploaded photos. Should a match be made, someone will verify the match against the additional information provided about the pet to make a firm confirmation.
• Ensure window screens are in good repair so that cats cannot escape. • Be mindful of pets' locations when opening doors, particularly if your pet is known to dash outdoors.
Facial recognition also enables anyone with a camera to scan dogs or cats right after they are found without any special equipment. This could streamline the process of identifying lost pets, especially since not every shelter or clinic has the ability to scan the variety of microchip implants on the market. PiP facial recognition software is still in the planning stages and will initially be launched for iPhone users. The company is still accepting donations to help fund development efforts. Learn more about PiP at http://petrecognition.com. Since facial recognition software for pets is still in its infancy, pet owners can continue to take
• Keep pets in a quiet, dark room during times when they may become skittish, such as thunderstorms, fireworks displays or even house parties. • Make sure information on microchip records is current. • Purchase a tag for your pets and keep it on the animal at all times. Consider listing your mobile telephone number on the tag so you can be contacted if the animal is lost while you are traveling. • Submerge chicken wire beneath the perimeter of fences to deter dogs prone to digging their way out. • Erect tall fences in the yard to keep pets from escaping.

Paws & Claws their pets.
Lift the Lip Can you imagine what your teeth would look like if you never brushed them? Not pretty that’s for sure! So what about your pets’ teeth? Like us, pets need routine dental care. According to the American Veterinary Dental Society (AVDS), dental disease is the number one health issue affecting 80% of dogs and 70% of cats over the age of three. Not too surprising considering that most people don’t brush their pet’s teeth (and we know their pets aren’t doing it either). So why should you care? Poor oral hygiene doesn’t just cause bad breath, it can lead to tooth loss, painful abscesses, difficulty eating, and other serious health problems. So how does dental disease occur in pets? The combination of food, saliva, and bacteria leads to plaque formation. If this isn’t removed by brushing, it mineralizes and becomes tartar. Tartar accumulation promotes bacterial infections below the gumline, which result in gum recession and destruction of the tooth’s support structures. Without treatment, tooth loss and
pain occur. Bacteria from a tooth infection can also enter the blood stream and spread to distant organs, like the kidney, liver and heart. A complete dental cleaning is required if your pet already has dental disease. This involves an evaluation of the oral cavity and cleaning not only the surface of the teeth, but underneath the gumline where the majority of bacteria and tartar are found. After the teeth are cleaned, they are polished to smooth the rough surface created by the cleaning. Without polishing, these irregular surfaces allow bacteria and plaque to adhere more easily and accelerate the recurrence of dental disease. Lastly the entire mouth is checked again and dental x-rays may be used to assess the extent of the dental disease and the need for tooth extractions or additional work. Even though most people can tolerate and sit through a thorough dental cleaning, pets can’t. The only way to perform a complete dental cleaning below the gumline in pets is by using general anesthesia.
Contributed by: Dr. Rodney Nast, Below the gumline is where Campbell River Veterinary Hospital the inflammation and tissue destruction is occurring. Cleaning that doesn’t thoroughly include addressing what we can’t see, that is below the gumline, is a cosmetic procedure and does little to alter the health of the Help us raise money for the BCSPCA mouth or the pet.
Although anesthesia can never be risk free, performing some simple pre-anesthetic tests, the use of modern anesthetics, intravenous fluids, monitoring equipment, and well trained veterinary nurses keep the risks to a minimum. Thousands of pets every year benefit from professional cleaning with anesthesia.

Charles (C. G.) Simpson July 14, 1941 - February 9, 2014 The family of Charles Simpson are sad to announce his recent passing at 72 years of age. Charles passed away peacefully at his home, surrounded by friends and family, following a courageous battle with cancer. Charles is predeceased by his parents, Richie and Ruby, of Oxford, Nova Scotia, and his sister, Kathleen, of Campbell River. Charles is survived by his son, Daryl (Danielle) of Campbell River and will be missed by many close friends. Charlie was born and raised in Oxford, Nova Scotia and was drawn to the west coast of Canada as a young man by his Uncle Loran of Comox. Charles moved permanently to Campbell River in 1972. He purchased his first home in Willow Point shortly thereafter and started a family in 1975. Just like his own father, Charlie always enjoyed hunting, fishing and camping in his free time. Charles was an extremely hard worker; owning and operating logging trucks through the 80's and 90's before venturing to northern B.C. to work in the oil and gas industry. Charlie then enjoyed a brief retirement back home in Oxford, Nova Scotia in 2007. In 2011 Charles was again drawn back to Campbell River to be closer to his son, Daryl.

As we are coming up to Curt’s two year anniversary of his passing, I am reflecting on the many things and people I have to be grateful for. Curtis knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that he had the best doctors and specialists taking care of him. He also knew how much his family and friends cared for him. He asked that two years after he passed to make sure I connected with these people, so they never forget what great people they are and what a huge positive impact they had on our lives. Living with the fear of the unknown and then the known outcome, was a huge strain on us and our family. Curtis’ positive attitude and our saving grace were all the amazing people who surrounded us and gave Curt strength. A big thank you to Doctor Sian Shuel, Doctor Minnaar and his amazing wife Gayle, the lovely team at the chemo clinic, Rebecca, Faith & Gerry. Darren Fargo & Glen Little. Gold River Blackhawks Men’s Hockey Team. The Campbell River Men’s Hockey Association. Ladies hockey tournament coordinators. Discovery Community College, Evergreen Seniors Home and Ken Buckar. A huge thanks to Wes Rode, Dan Munro, Carrie and Daryl Jeune. To this day I can’t remember everyone who helped us but please know, your actions to reach out to our family will always make you our heros. Our children, friends and family are forever grateful. Curt was an incredible inspiration and just an all around great human being. He will always be cherished in our hearts and live on through our children and grandchildren. We love you Curt, Dad, grandpa, brother, brotherin-law and friend. Lee, Sandy, Travis, Maddy, Danielle, Dave, Angela, Peter, Tiffany, Dustin, Chase, Danielle, Barry, Sabina, Randy, Laverne, Daryl, Diane, their children, and our 12 grandchildren. Gone but truly never forgotten. We love you Curtis Granbois.

Atom A Tyees gear up for playoffs
The Storm’s Gage Colpron (above) controls the play in Wednesday’s playoff home opener against the Buccaneers while (below) Aaron Brewer is pinned against the boards.
Storm drop playoff home opener The Campbell River Storm continue their playoff series against the Nanaimo Buccaneers tonight after dropping their opener 4-1 at home to the Hub City squad on Wednesday. Despite outshooting the Buccaneers 44-27, the Storm could only pop one behind the Bucs netminder. Michael Olson tied it up for the Storm in the second period but the Buccaneers took the lead again before the second intermission and then added two in the third frame. The second game of the series went last night in Nanaimo after the Mirror went to press (see www. campbellrivermirror. com for the score). The third game of the best of seven goes tonight at the Rod Brind’Amour Arena at 7:30. Game four goes Sunday in Nanaimo and game five goes Wednesday at Strathcona Gardens.

Despite solid team defence and incredible goaltending, the much improved Campbell River REHN Enterprises Atom A Tyees dropped a pair of games in Victoria over the Valentine’s Day weekend. The Tyees started on Saturday against the high-powered Juan de Fuca A Grizzlies with a 5-3 loss. Linemates Bryce Idiens and Evan Billard scored carbon copy goals by creating turnovers and using their speed to beat Juan de Fuca defenders. Wyatt Dumont and Billard assisted on a power play goal scored from the point by Brett Ruehlen. Josh Doherty was solid in net facing 52 shots in the loss. Diminutive left winger, Breydan Riecker, earned the hard hat while playing like a giant. The Tyees visited the 7 and 1, first place Racquet Club Kings on Sunday, and ended up with a 5-1 loss.
Riecker scored a highlight reel goal with a top shelf snap shot. Goaltender Marcus Shankar received the hard hat making 49 saves, including several on high quality scoring chances. Coach Craig Idiens says, “The hard work that the kids have been putting in all season is beginning to show itself in our games. We’ve come a long way from losing 13-1, 10-1, 11-2, to now 5-3 and 5-1 to the perennial power houses of the South Island. It’s nice to see the vast improvement in their play and I’m really happy for the kids because they have taken their losses on the chin and have never quit on each other. Every week they show up to practice with smiles on their faces ready to work their tails off.” The Kings will be in Campbell River for the Tyees’ final regular season game on Feb 23 at 1:15pm.
