collecting to alleviate the plight of children in their war-torn Syrian homeland. “It is the thing that hurts the most,” Awad said, “the break-in damage is covered by insurance but it was a big thing to lose this money.” The donation box contained around $600 but Awad said they always felt it was safe, that no one would ever take it. The police asked if anything was missing and their initial search found everything in place but after a while, they realized the donation box was gone. “At that point I started crying,” Awad said. “I don’t care about cleaning and everything but I was so sad (about the theft).” Awad is upset that the theft was for no other reason than to be destructive or to buy drugs. “If they did it for a big reason and they need it for something, something really serious, they could ask for it,” Awad said. The box of donations represents the generosity of Campbell Riverites. “People in Campbell River really have big hearts, they’re really nice people. They will give when you ask.” In fact, once word got around about the breakin and theft, a man came into the store and gave $20. Awad said she

BC Ferries says it will look into adjusting sailing times between Campbell River and Quadra Island following service cuts that have sparked a backlash from ferry users. Corrine Storey, vicepresident of customer service at BC Ferries, told the Mirror that the corporation admits some tweaks to the schedule may be necessary. “Any change to ferry service takes some time to get used to, however on several routes, including the Campbell River/ Quadra Island/Cortes Island routes, mid-day congestion issues have arisen,” Storey said. Fo r Ji m Ab r a m , regional district director for Quadra Island, it’s a classic case of ‘I told you so.’ Abram, and the Ferry Advisory Committee, which represents users of the Campbell River/ Quadra/Cortes run, earlier this year told BC Ferries several times that the service is heavily used and any cuts to service would be hard on islanders who rely on the ferry. But the decision had already been made last December to cut runs and in April the 6:15 p.m. sailing leaving Campbell River and the 5:50 p.m. sailing from Quadra Island were eliminated. Abram said there have been problems ever since and all summer long the Ferry Advisory Committee has been lobbying for changes. “We were forced to accept the schedule and then when we told them it wasn’t working, we wanted them to stick to their word,” Abram said. “Their word was if the schedule didn’t work they would be more than happy to look at it and change it.” Abram said there is

congestion at the ferry terminals like never before because people are having to take earlier sailings than they did in the past or they’re missing the ferry and there aren’t as many later sailings to pick up the slack. Now with the 6:15 p.m. sailing leaving Campbell River gone, if a commuter were to miss the 5:45 p.m ferry – which is also the last connecting sailing to Cortes – they wouldn’t be able to get on a ferry to Quadra until 7 p.m. “There’s continuous overloads so people are having to wait an hour to an hour and a half to get home from work,” Abram said. “We put up with a whole summer of summer traffic. It was ridiculously overloaded because of the new schedule.” Now Abram wants BC Ferries to step up to the plate. “They told us straight up that they wouldn’t look at it until after the fall,” Abram said. “They wanted to see how it plays out. We told them it’s already played out

and it has not played out very well.” Storey said BC Ferries spoke with the Ferry Advisory Committee over the summer and heard suggestions from other customers about refinements Ferries could make to the schedules. “We will continue to work with the FAC (Ferry Advisory Committee) this fall to get a sense of community preference about possible schedule tweaks that can be made to meet the needs of the majority of ferry users while still achieving the net savings set out by the provincial government,” Storey said. BC Ferries has been mandated by the province to come up with $185,000 in annual savings on the Campbell River/Quadra Island route. Ferries consulted over six weeks this past spring with the Ferry Advisory Committee on how to reduce service and come up with those savings. “The schedules proposed by the provincial government were refined on all of the affected routes to try to introduce the best timetables that still met the service reductions outlined by

the province,” Storey said. Abram said the new schedule is all over the place and sailing times are difficult to figure out. “We have four different schedules we have to be aware of. It’s really, really complicated,” Abram said. “There isn’t a person on this island or a crew member that has gotten used to the new schedule yet. There are people showing up to work late and people showing up for work early which is nothing but a waste of people’s time. “It has really been a hardship on people,” Abram added. “People are missing ferries, people are missing appointments, people are missing events.” Storey said she appreciates the important role ferries play and BC Ferries will consider possible schedule tweaks later this fall. “We certainly understand the vital role we play in maintaining the quality of life for people who live, work and travel in and around coastal British Columbia,” Storey said. “We are continuing to look at ways to address congestion concerns within the scheduled number of sailings.”

SD72 board of education receives good news

Tuesday’s meeting of the School District 72 (SD72) board of trustees opened with a bit of grumbling and angry brow-bunching over the provincial government trying to ‘claw back’ unused portions of school district budgets. That frustration was short-lived, however, as they followed it by rolling out one piece of good news after another. The financial state of the district Brad Piercy of MNP (SD72’s accountants) presented the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ending June 30 Tuesday night with nothing but glowing praise for the organization’s record keeping and fiscal responsibility. According to Piercy, at the end of the fiscal year, SD72 had an operation surplus of $1.1 million, mainly due to reduced wages and reduced spending during the teacher’s strike in June. The tangible capital assets of the school district are up $800,000 as of June 30, from $86.2 million to $87 million. This is because $4.1 million of asset value was added over the course of

the year, mainly through seismic work and transportation upgrades, and the amortization costs of those assets (similar to depreciation) was approximately $3.4 million. Revenues were down significantly, as the government ‘clawed back’ a good chunk of change due to teachers not being paid, meaning that SD72 didn’t receive about $2 million of expected revenue, mainly due to grants that they had budgeted to receive but did not because of the teacher work stoppage. In terms of expenses over the fiscal year, there was, according to Piercy, “a fair amount of underspending that happened,” in regards to “teacher instruction,” most of which had to do with the expected decrease in FTEs (FullTime Enrolments) as well as not paying teachers at the end of the year during the work stoppage. Expenses went from the budgeted $57.2 million to $55.2 million, which almost exactly offset the revenue issue from the lack of grants and the June claw-back from government. Overall, the district has $14.2-million in cash, much of which is “sit-

ting with the Ministry,” according to Piercy. Kevin Patrick, secretary/treasurer of SD72, thanked ever yone involved in the financial record keeping of the district, making his job much easier than it could have been during a very challenging year in the district in regards to finance. The board congratulated Patrick on a job

extremely well done, under very difficult circumstances, to keep the district in a strong financial state. School start-up went smoothly “Given that we had to do three weeks’ work in four or five days, I think it’s been remarkable on the part of everyone involved,” said Superin-

Our View

Perhaps there’s a greater need for a children’s charter? So, Campbell River now has a seniors charter. That’s nice. Should we have a family charter or perhaps a children’s charter as well? We do have a youth charter but nothing for young children. We say: But Having a document that endorses who is willing to principles ensuring Campbell River advocate on their is an elder-friendly community is certainly a worthwhile thing. But in this behalf? community’s rush to attract retirees, let’s hope the needs of young families, and particularly children, do not get forgotten. Representatives of our seniors population are very

active in putting the needs of that segment of the population on the social agenda and that’s great. There is always an implication, rightly or wrongly, in these kinds of endorsements that this segment is being neglected. That perhaps may be and any effort to ensure they are not neglected deserves support. But if we’re going to single out a segment of the population for protection, then perhaps we need to single them all out. Or, at least, the most vulnerable. And who is more vulnerable than our children? Need we remind you of Island Health officer Dr. Charmaine Enns’ distressing report on the health of children in our region? If we want our kids to have

long, healthy lives that enable them to enjoy a protected and comfortable old age, they need to be nurtured and sheltered by the community from the start. If we’re going to declare in a public document that has municipal policy implications that we are a seniors supportive community, then we should make a similar statement about children and families (of all kinds). This suggestion is not a criticism of the city’s newlyminted seniors charter, it’s a call to finish the job and protect the vulnerable at the other end of the timeline of life. But who is there to advocate for that? Children can’t organize themselves to protect their interests. Maybe city council should take that initiative.

Letters

We all must do more

Are we responsible citizens of this world? I have asked this question because we have reached a tipping point now in our existence. Are we going to be known as the generation that let the future down? What will our children and our grand-children think if we do not act now on climate change? What will our legacy be if we fail to protect our environment? Each one of us could be doing something further to reduce our carbon foot print. There can be no more free-ride polluters in this world of ours because we are facing humanities greatest challenge as Leonardo Di Caprio’s speech to the United Nations spelled out. Let’s all sit down each one of us and write a letter to our local councils, local politicians and national politicians demanding more effective and efficient measures to tackle global warming. Canada, like every other country on this planet earth, must urgently do more. Climate change will lead to more wars, more famine, more political instability, more human trafficking, more population movements, more pollution, more severe changes in weather patterns, more crop failures, more industrial failures, more infrastructure failures, more security issues, more water shortages, and more human disasters in ways we are yet to experience. These catastrophic changes are going to be devastating. The way we currently live will be under threat. Howard Cannatella Campbell River

Is it really cheaper to get that somewhere else? I had the privilege of attending the 2014 Campbell River Chamber of Commerce Business Awards of Distinction last weekend, and I’ve got to say, you folks clean up real nice. The takeaway from the whole event, however, was not the attractiveness of those in attendance, but the pride that local businesspeople have in being just that. Local businesspeople. That pride is strengthened by the Chamber of Commerce, who, about a Mike Davies Mike’s Musings year ago, launched the “Think Local” campaign, designed to bolster the local On Twitter: economy and promote utilization of @PaperguyDavies miked@campbellrivermirror.com local businesses and services by the public, instead of looking outside our region for goods and services before exploring what’s available here at home. We’re all guilty of it.

You know you are. You need anything from a shower curtain to a new iPad for your kid’s birthday to a new couch, and you go online to see what it’s going to cost you. Then, instead of running out to get it at a local store, you see what kind of deal you can find online. Sometimes you find a deal that will be cheaper than you can get it in town, even after shipping is included! But is it really cheaper in the long run? (Look out, Davies is going to create a hypothetical situation!) Here’s the scenario: Everyone goes online to find everything they need and buy them as cheaply as they can find them. What does that do for this town? First, we all end up with cheap, crappy stuff. You see, when you find things for as

cheap as you can find them, you get the cheapest, crappiest version of that thing. It’s really as simple as that. “You get what you pay for,” is a cliche for a reason, you know. It’s kind of an economic reality. The nicer a thing is, the more it will cost, because of the value put into the production of that thing. Second, in this hypothetical scenario of everyone buying everything they can get as cheaply as they can get it from online sources rather than going to a local retailer or supplier, it puts everyone here out of business. “Oh, it would not,” you say. “Oh, yes it would,” say I. You see, except for the things that are literally grown out of the ground here, processed here, and then sold here, basically anything you buy here has been

ordered from somewhere else for the lowest price available (hopefully), and then marked up for the inconvenience of having to find it and get it here before it’s sold to the public. Every shirt. Every hat. Every pair of shoes. Every shower curtain. Every couch. Every iPad. Everything you buy here, you could get from somewhere else for cheaper. After all, the people selling it here have done just that, or they wouldn’t be able to stay in business. You don’t make a living selling things for what you paid for them. And if everyone here went out of business, you wouldn’t be able to live here, because you wouldn’t have a job, and would therefore not be able to live inside and eat food. Or buy cheap, crappy stuff online.

it’s unlikely the work would be able to get underway any time soon. “Due to DFO fisheries windows, work on this structure below the high water line, such as the removal of, or addition of pilings, can only be done between Nov.1 and Feb.15,” Decksheimer wrote. “Based on the necessity of engineered drawings, the timelines required for competitive bidding, and the availability of pile driving firms, it is unlikely that any work, including removal, can proceed prior to Nov.1.” Decksheimer said there

is also another option. Council could opt to build a moderately sized viewing platform on shore, rather than over the water, which would require “significantly less expense”. Council is expected to receive the committee’s recommendation for what to do with the viewing platform at next Tuesday’s council meeting.

We are doing a late registration for a new beaver scouts colony, and need two new leaders, male or female. Support and training is provided. Beaver scouts, ages five to seven do outdoor activities, games, music and sports. They meet new friends, learn co operation, teamwork and develop self confidence. They are our future!

needs to be re-visited,” Adams said at an Aug. 26 council meeting. “I think we need to really get a better handle as to what the cost is.” Adams said he wanted city staff to have a “sober second look” as to how to mitigate some of the expenses. Now, staff are saying that based on local expertise the estimated cost to completely re-build the platform is $75,000. To remove the platform, the city is looking at $15,000, according to Decksheimer. Whatever decision is made, Decksheimer said

✂

The city is turning to the public for help in determining what to do with a decaying viewing platform at the Tyee Spit. City staff have been tasked with reporting back to council on the projected costs to renovate, re-build or remove the platform all together. On Wednesday night, staff asked the city’s Community Services, Recreation and Culture Commission which is made up of members of the public, to provide some direction. “Staff are seeking direction from the (commission) as to the community value of the viewing platform and a recommendation to either repair, remove or replace the structure,” wrote Jason Decksheimer, the city’s asset management supervisor, in a report to the commission. The viewing platform, which extends over Tyee Spit in the north west corner of Dick Murphy Park, has been cordoned off since May because it is a safety hazard. A structural inspection found there is severe

and widespread fungal decay in the platform’s log stringers and deck, both of which need to be replaced. Council, at its Aug. 12 meeting voted to have city staff go ahead with either renovating or rebuilding the walkway for up to $50,000. Mayor Walter Jakeway was the only one opposed. The rest of council, however, changed its mind a couple of weeks later after Coun. Andy Adams questioned the cost. “After...attending the Tyee Club’s opening of their new docks and getting a feel of what their costs were, looking at this motion to give staff the green light to spend up to $50,000 I think

What is a senior? That’s one question Coun. Claire Moglove wanted an answer to at last week’s Tuesday council meeting. But she never got one. The city’s Community Services, Recreation and Culture Commission, along with the Campbell River Seniors’ Society, has crafted a seniors’ charter to ensure that seniors’ needs and perspectives are recognized in council decisions. But Coun. Moglove was concerned the charter wasn’t clear enough. “Is there a definition of a senior? The reason I ask that question is because the seniors’ centre, I think their membership begins at either 50 or 55, and the Active Living (program) I believe is 55,” Moglove said. “But I’ve always thought of a senior, in terms of the federal government, as 65, so to me it’s really important that we do actually have a definition of a senior before we have the charter because otherwise, in my view, it could be too broad.” Coun. Ron Kerr said while the commission did not define what it means to be a senior, the charter is still well thought out. “The one thing I’ll say – and we had great debate and discussion on this – is that every line of

the charter came out of the SOCP (Sustainable Official Community Plan),” Kerr said. “So there’s nothing in this charter that hasn’t been approved previously.” Moglove said while she could understand that rationale, it still leaves the charter open to interpretation. “I appreciate the response, however, until there is an actual definition of senior for this charter, I can’t support it,” Moglove said. But the rest of council could, and adopted the charter and its seven principles, with Moglove the lone councillor opposed. Coun. Larry Samson thanked the commission for coming forward with the document. “I know it went back and forth and there was a lot of deep discussion in going over this,” Samson said. “Thanks so much to the commission for all the hard work they’ve done.” The charter was based on items in the city’s official community plan

9,000 lbs. of food collected

www.CampbellRiverMirror.com www.CampbellRiverMirror.com

The BC Thanksgiving Food Drive, held on Sept. 20, and coordinated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, resulted in over 9,000 pounds of food donated to the Campbell River Food Bank. “It’s the beginning of the giving season, and this was a nice kick off,” said Debbie Willis, local Food Bank manager. “Campbell River is incredibly generous. It definitely fills a need.” This year, 82 local volunteers dropped off 4,000 bags to residences in the community, and then returned to pick up

the donations. “It’s great to be part of a project where members of our community can get together to provide a service to people whose circumstances may mean they need to turn to our local food bank,” said Gary Knowles, Bishop for the local congregation of Latter-day Saints. Province-wide, 6,500 volunteers visited 250,000 homes and collected 410,000 pounds of food. During the first four years of operation, the initiative has collected 1.4 million pounds of food for BC food banks. The food

Willow Creek fish passage improved

I’ll take Forestry for 2000, Alex

Kindry Mercer, Regional Engagement Coordinator for Western Forest Products, speaks with some members of the public about the forestry industry at the 2014 Forestry Fair, held last Saturday in Spirit Square. The event is meant to share information about the sector and was attended by about a dozen local companies and organizations telling anyone interested about what they do. Mike Davies/The Mirror

Work to improve fish passage in Willow Creek is complete, and fish are timing their movement upstream with high tides and fall rain. Two rock weirs have been constructed in the creek beneath the Highway 19A bridge to help fish get over a series of pipes that had been exposed when the creek bed eroded. The pipes are owned by the city and Telus, who worked with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO), consultants, and local stewardship groups to design the series of weirs that allow the fish to pass over the pipes. Fish have been observed freely making their way over the weirs and continuing upstream to spawn during high tides, and more rain will increase flow in the creek and improve

fish passage. The migration of spawning salmon into small local streams such as Willow Creek is naturally limited by instream conditions such as water flow level and water temperature. The weirs work with the natural conditions to allow fish access into and out of the creek according to their natural migration timing. Project biologists, including Mainstream Biological, DFO and Willow Creek Streamkeepers will continue to monitor the effect of the weirs and pools. “The design relies on the fall and winter rains to bring natural debris down the creek as well as tidal action to help naturalize the small spaces in the rock weirs,” says Monica Stewardson from Mainstream Biological.

BOOMERS & Beyond What's next after retirement? Scores of people spend their working days dreaming of the moment they are eligible for retirement. They may have retirement counted down to the minutes and seconds, particularly if they've been in a job that hasn't been the most enjoyable. But many people find that once they retire they do not know what to do to fill their time. Boredom actually may be a side effect of retirement, and some people actually want to go back to work. Much of the focus when planning for retirement concerns finances. All other

Now may be the opportunity to start a business venture you have always dreamed about, whether that is something handson or just serving as a consultant. • Try new things.

Guthy Galleries Next Photo-Shoot Now Booking Oct 9-21-2014

r. Janis Guthy of ‘Guthy Galleries’ has been experimenting with art since she was a small child. Born in Guelph Ontario, she converted her family’s basement into her first art studio where she would draw, paint, sew, and make life sized paper mache sculptures. When it was time to decide what to study at university, she chose a different path, that of Chiropractic with a self commitment that she would someday study art. In June of 2012 after 30 years of private practice, she graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Emily Carr University while working full time as a Chiropractor in Campbell River where she continues to operate as Decompression & Laser Center. Since graduating from Emily Carr University, Dr. Guthy is focusing on her new project ‘Guthy Galleries Photo Artistry’ where she creates fantasy photo shoots. This way, being a multi-media artist, she can integrate her skills of costume and set design for unique photo art. Her work is whimsical, and phantasmagorical with creative script. Through her photo art, Dr. Guthy is writing the ‘Book of Gutharian’. Each section of photography viewed on her website has a small introduction about either the character or the place. The story takes place in the QueenDom of Gutharian in the year 222. The Blue Queen ‘Nywnorb’ is a good Queen. She reigns with love in the hearts and minds of her people. When not in her royal chambers, or on the great lands of the QueenDom she rides on her magical unicorn ‘Sinaj’ throughout the skies. ‘Queen Nywnorb’ governs with beauty and grace. In the far east corner of the QueenDom, you will find the fashion capital of Gutharian called ‘LillyDom’. Here the finest of couture clothing is designed and hand crafted. Dr. Guthy also designs and makes most costumes for her photo shoots. Her lush and extravagant tutu’s are simply amazing! Some of the characters in LillyDom are the ‘Dotter’ who is an experienced fabric maker who dips and dots the fabrics all day long. Every day life in LillyDom takes place in the lilly pads and is pretty fantastical. While the villagers are hard at work, the band plays on. In another remote village of the QueenDom you will find an almost extinct breed of ‘Fairangs’. 60 million years ago, Fairies and Angels got together and produced ‘Fairangs’. Most became extinct but some survived and went

into hiding. They are known for their sweet resonance of song. If you listen hard enough you will hear them. The children of Gutharian are the purest form of existence and the sun rises and falls on their little faces. ‘Refinnej’ is the Warrior Woman protects the QueenDom against ‘Snogards’ and other threatening creatures. You can sometimes see her riding her ‘Roogon’ over Elk Falls. Gutharian is a mystical place like no other and will eventually develop into a series of fantasy books with all the good and sinister characters. In the meantime, Dr. Guthy is developing the story through her photo art. Because Dr. Guthy practices full time as a Chiropractor she is only able to hold two major photo shoots per year. Her next photo shoot will be taking place from Oct 9- 21- 2014. Shooting times are limited to Tuesdays and Thursdays, weekends and evenings. There is a charge for a two hour shoot, and then the client selects and buys their photo after that. Prices vary according to paper or canvas and sizes. Prior to your photo shoot you will have a creative half hour consultation with Dr. Guthy. This will give you a chance to discuss what you would like to do for your special photo experience. You may bring your special outfits and props or personalize your photo shoot with our extensive collection of props and costumes. Your photo shoot will last two hours, so you can change scenes and costumes as many times as you wish within the two hours of shooting. Dr. Guthy will give you creative guidance for posing naturally and comfortably. After your special photo shoot, Dr. Guthy will prepare your images for viewing. She will call you to set up a viewing time where you will select your images that you can’t live without. So release the beautiful you! Celebrate your unique and wonderful self with an amazing fantasy photo shoot. Let yourself shine with enchanting scenes, fabulous costumes and creative backgrounds. Whether it be a milestone such as your birthday, anniversary, pregnancy or just because you want to do something special for yourself or a loved one it is the perfect gift for someone special. Remember It’s all about YOU! Come and experience two hours of whimsy, excitement and FUN!

BOOMERS & Beyond Taking notes and other tricks

Are you afraid of growing old? Aging: the one fate that no one can escape. Often it is marked by apprehension, a worry that old age means illness, loss of one’s faculties, and independence. And, of course, we worry that aging means, inevitably, death. This fear tends to gain ground as people reach their fifties, which means that many baby boomers now have to learn to cope with it. Aging has never been easy, but in today’s society we also have to deal with the increasingly pervasive cult of youth and beauty, which implies slim and active bodies — bald heads, bulging waistlines, and wrinkles must be hidden away. And now, with supplements and surgeries, modern medicine is even offering to reduce the hold old age has on our bodies, at least for a short while. Nevertheless, the reality is that we are living longer, healthier lives than before. As they say, 50 is the new 40! All the same, some people have the mistaken impression that our right to happiness decreases as the number of candles on our birthday cakes increases. In a society where everything occurs

DOES YOUR KITCHEN NEED A NEW LOOK?

Aging is inevitable, but it’s up to us to choose if we grow older with verve or by just fading away.

at breakneck speed, living for the present and taking advantage of every moment of pleasure that life brings our way is still the best way to stop the clock. Enjoying a walk with your loved one, a supper with friends, or ice-cream with your grandchildren are great ways to stay young at heart. Of course, time passes and growing older is unavoidable. Our bodies sag and energy fades. But at the end of the line, it’s up to us to choose if we grow into our golden years joyfully or by just fading away.

“The Kitchen Transformer” Can help! There are options available, without the huge cost of new cabinets.

If your ability to think quickly and to remember things has changed as you age, don’t worry; it is a normal part of growing older. There is no need to be concerned, as long as these changes don’t prevent you from enjoying life. Some of the more annoying inconveniences caused by age-related memory loss can be managed with a few simple tricks. First of all, take your time with new information. Read slowly, and take the time to absorb what you read. Go over the same passage again in order to better assimilate the information. You might try summarizing in your mind the main message of a newspaper article and asking yourself questions, just like you did at school during a reading test. This kind of exercise will help your brain to stay alert. Another trick is to read for short periods rather than for hours at a time. You’ll remember more information this way. Finally, if you’re a techie and do a lot of research on

the Internet, remember that it’s more difficult to read from a screen than from a sheet of paper. Print what you want to read, if you are equipped to do so. Establish a routine for reading or learning new information: try to keep these to the time of day most conducive to concentration, which is usually in the morning. Keep your afternoons and evenings for less

intellectual activities. If you’re distracted while new information is coming in, jot down what’s going through your head straight away so you won’t forget what is important. You can then enjoy your activity worry free. It’s a good idea to always have a small notebook and a pen with you, for just such occasions. You’ll soon understand how useful it can be!

Williamson is studying business and commerce at the University of Victoria, with a goal of obtaining a Master’s Degree in Business Administration. Savery, currently enrolled at North Island College in Campbell River, is planning a career in marine biology. Jane Kolmatycki, School District 72 Bursary Committee Chair, expressed her sincere thanks for the awards. “Campbell River is very fortunate to have so many organizations and clubs with individuals who give so much of themselves to offer services and raise money for projects in the community,” Kolmatycki said. “Our school district is very thankful that our students are some of the beneficiaries of this generosity.” “The bursary program was founded by Ralph

The Coachman serves up live jazz featuring local combo mentalist Grahame Edwards studied music at the University of British Columbia and holds a Diploma in Fine Arts from the University of Calgary. Aside from both acoustic and electric bass, Edwards also plays percussion and trumpet. He has appeared with countless local ensembles and productions in every genre from choral to musical theatre, big band jazz to classical. His first musical love, however, lies with improvised music and he enjoys playing and composing his own jazz tunes. In addition to performing, Edwards has taught both privately and in the Campbell River School District, and enjoys sharing his music by conducting workshops & clinics. Over the years, he has studied with many respected Jazz musicians including Don Clarke, Phil Nimmons, Chris Nelson, and Paul Horn. As a rare addition to the combo, Victoriaborn drummer Neil Clark spent many years collaborating with some of it’s best local musicians as an active member of that jazz community. During the 1980’s, Clark was given the opportunity to perform with many well known groups and solo artists while touring the world on cruise ships. Since relocating to the

Comox Valley in 1996, he has performed with musicians such as the Annie Siegel Band, Jazztet, DMN, and others. Due to his recent retirement, Clark is now in a position to devote more time towards his love of music by playing here on a regular basis. The Coachman invites both first time patrons and seasoned “jazz veterans” to check out Clark’s wealth of experience and impressive skills behind the kit. No stranger to the local music scene, Jake Masri draws his inspiration from classical repertoire to musical theater to Afro-Cuban/ New Orleans, and Bebop styles. His passion for jazz is directly linked to artists such as Herb Alpert, Miles Davis, Chet Baker, and Arturo Sandoval. As a performance major at VCC, UVIC, and UBC, Masri studied trumpet with Boyd Hood, Gerald Gerbrecht, & trombonist, Dave Robbins. His studies in jazz

orbidden Jazz headlines the Coachman Pub on Sunday afternoon of Oct. 5. Featuring Jake Masri on trumpet, flugelhorn, and vocals, Grant McLellan on guitar, Grahame Edwards on bass, and Neil Clark on drums, they will strive to reach audiences of all ages by performing a wide variety of timeless jazz standards. Representing more than four decades of experience, their unique blend of voice, brass, and strings will weave their collective magic through three sets of entertaining music. Filling the position of lead guitar is local favorite Grant McLellan. McLellan holds a music diploma from Grant McEwen College in Edmonton. Upon moving to Campbell River, he set about carving a niche for himself as a guitar teacher and musical sideman in numerous local groups of various cultural styles, including his own popular trio. McLellan has a wonderful touch on the guitar, incorporating a rich and varied modal, melodic weave to his improvisations. When accompanying, he uses his extensive harmonic knowledge through a subtle, yet empathic supportive approach to the chords. Talented multi instru-

Many of the local anglers are out hunting and the rain that is needed will move the Coho into the upper pools. When the Coho are in, many will go out and fish the Oyster River using lures and drift fishing while the fly patterns being used will have blue or green and even gold bodies with a polar bear wing. Shore fishing will be good in weeks to come and many anglers will
