Continued from Pg. 1

to divert the water runoff from the subdivision north of Sequoia Springs Golf Course down the ditch on the west side of Petersen became plugged at some point Tuesday evening during heavy rainfall. Water and mud was sent across Petersen and into Seeley’s yard instead, causing significant damage to both his and his neighbour’s property. “There’s quite a chunk of property missing,” Seeley said, looking out over his yard, much of which is now in the form of mud and debris

spread across his neighbour’s property. “When she let go, she must have really let go.” Diane Grudzinskas, the neighbour whose property is now covered by the Seeleys’ sheared bank, says she also lost six pear trees, two nut trees and an apple tree because of the slide. “Right now it’s just a big mud pit,” she said. Seeley claims that in the past 20 years in that house, this scenario has happened four times. Each time they complained to the city, he said they were told that it’s up to the individual property owners to

ensure culverts are clear. But aside from a few sleepless nights attempting to keep their basement dry, as Monday’s was, they haven’t seen extensive damage until now. Instead of a letter, this time the city actually showed up to look around as well as clean out the culvert and ditch. “The city has been down here to take pictures and everything this time,” he said, “and they told me not to do anything with it until they get all the paperwork done. I guess I have to sit here and look at it for a little while. I’m not sure

what that deal is,” Seeley said. Drew Hadfield, Transportation Manager for the City of Campbell River, said that because the property where the culvert in question is located is still under development, it has not been officially inspected by the city to meet regulatory or safety guidelines and is therefore not yet their responsibility to address these issues. He said that once the inspection on the completed property is done and the city is satisfied with the condition of the property, they will then take over the mainte-

nance of the culvert. Hadfield added that there are bound to be “localized issues like this,” considering the current amount of rain combining with fallen leaves and other debris, “but our crews are definitely out there doing the best we can.”

“One diver actually was just coming into view of the first deceased and the boat started to move, lost its anchor. The anchor started to move so (it) actually pulled one of our divers right off the vessel, which is a very dynamic and dangerous situation,” Preston said. “When the boat started moving we had to shut the dive down and bring the divers up and get them out of the water. “Based on the tide and the weather and the wind it was just too dangerous

The ROV was deployed and was able to attach a line to the actual vessel and divers were able to enter it. But that dive on Monday by RCMP divers had to be cancelled because the weather and tides made it unsafe. On that attempt, however, divers were able to determine that at least one of the victims’ bodies was on the boat.

The RCMP vessel PV Higgit served as base of operations for police divers searching for two crewmen who went missing after their vessel sunk early Saturday morning.

Elk Falls Mill site. The vessel had gone down in stormy weather early Saturday morning. One crew member, Kyle Benoit, was able to escape the vessel, thanks to the actions of Sewid, the skipper of the vessel. As the vessel was capsizing, Sewid shoved Benoit out of the cabin and into the water. A passing Alaskan ferry responding to the mayday call retrieved Benoit from the water. Campbell River RCMP provided lights on the shoreline that night to help guide the two missing men in case they were attempting to swim to shore. Unfortunately, a comprehensive search by sea, air and land, with the assistance of Campbell River Ground Search and Rescue, failed to turn up any signs of the two missing men. A ROV (remotely operated underwater vehicle) was deployed on Sunday. The first task the ROV faced was to locate the vessel with sonar but attempts to find the ship were unsuccessful on the

A second attempt that day was then made and this time the divers were able to get onto the vessel and locate the first victim who they had seen on a previous dive. Divers were then able to enter the vessel and, near the galley, located the second victim. He was laying on his side on the stairs. Divers brought both deceased up to the surface, concluding a tragic but successful recovery operation. “Two people lost their life and, you know what, that’s nothing to be happy about but them being missing or lost and being unable to retrieve them is unbearable for the family,” Preston said. “We were able to bring back those lost family members to their families so now they can proceed with putting them to rest.”

Employees of Chances officially off the job going to be locked out from going back.” It turned out that they already were – they just hadn’t been told yet. Lincoln Reid, Director of Human Resources and Compliance for Playtime, said via press release, that “the Union commenced job action by rotating strike despite having a fair and generous offer from the Company,” and because the strike will make it “very difficult for us to operate our business and meet our guest’s expectations while also meeting our regulator y requirements,” Playtime had no option but to initiate a lockout immediately upon the action being taken by the Union. Todd Pimlott, who works security at the facility, is particularly upset with the tippooling situation, saying, among some other statements that can’t be printed in a community paper, that “it’s ridiculous that some people make way more after tips than the people who don’t get them, especially when they haven’t been there as long.” Pimlott said he’s been

working at the facility for over four and a half years, and has received a total of a $.54 per hour increase in pay over that time. He also feels it’s unfair that new employees are hired at a higher wage than those who have been there for some time, and chalks that situation up to the expectation, which he said are stated in their hiring packages, that employees are “not supposed to discuss wages amongst ourselves, because they don’t want (what people earn) to be widely known,” especially amongst the staff, as it would cause tension in the ranks because, as Pimlott said, “they’ll realize they’re not being treated fairly.” “Fairness” is, in fact, the common term being used at the picket line as the main reason the job action escalated in the first place. “We’re just trying to get a fair wage that’s comparable to other people doing the same job other places,” Marleau said, citing the contract the employees are under at the Abbotsford Chances facility. “We don’t necessarily want what they

[SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS]

have, but something even remotely comparable would be nice.” It could be a protracted job action, as well, according to Rick Wangler, First Vice President of USW 1-1937, as there is strike pay available from the Union to workers who are affected, meaning they won’t be out-of-pocket for their time off. “We actually told the employer that some of these people could stand to make more by receiving strike pay than they do by working. Their wages are that low,” Wangler said from the picket line. “I think they’re going to find it much harder to end this strike than it was to start it.” Playtime is inviting the public to call their information hotline at 250-286-1442 for any information about adjustments to the facility’s hours of operation for the duration of the lockout. USW 1-1937 is asking the public not to take their business to either the Campbell River or C ourtenay Chances facilities until the dispute is resolved.

But they decided to give Playtime Gaming, who own and operate the facility, time to consider their position before implementing job action. According to the employees, however, their strike threat didn’t result in the employer changing their stance, and, as such, they launched their strike on Wednesday morning, and were promptly locked out by Playtime. “We’d intended to strike today and tomorrow (Wednesday and Thursday) and be back at work on Friday,” Marleau said while on the picket line Wednesday morning, “but now we’ve heard we’re probably

No easy road for Kinder-Morgan If Kinder Morgan thought they’d have an easier time than Enbridge getting broad community support for its oil pipeline project, they were wrong. Enbridge was a greenfield project We say: Oil crossing great swathes of iconic and company finds untouched wilderness. Kinder Morgan’s is a brownfield less tolerance for project—a twinning of a 62-yeardisruption old pipeline in, for the most part, an existing right-of-way. Dig up the ground next to the old pipe, put in a new one, and call it

a day, right? There is, however, the fear of a catastrophic oil spill with increased tanker traffic once the oil gets to Burnaby. Then there is worry over pipeline leaks or ruptures all the way up the line where it crosses a great number of waterways, including the Vedder River. The National Energy Board (NEB) heard from elders in First Nations community this week how this project is another example through history of the Xwelitem—a Halq’emeylem word for non-natives—displacing people, taking land and taking resources.

From the point of contact, the Sto:lo have been hit with smallpox, fur traders, the gold rush, the Indian Act, the Fisheries Act, the railroad, the Trans-Canada Highway, forestry, and, in 1952, the existing pipeline was built. Never mind support from non-native citizens and environmental groups, Kinder Morgan is in the middle of discovering whether or not B.C.’s First Nations community are willing, after centuries of it, to take one more incursion, one more displacement, one more disruption. – Black Press

Nov. 5 a day to celebrate volunteers

Universally, people recognize the contribution of volunteers as they are involved in just about every aspect of service delivery in all walks of life. However, behind all those volunteers, are Managers of volunteers who work hard to make sure volunteer programs run smoothly with support, scheduling, and training. They care about keeping volunteers fulfilled and engaged. And volunteers who feel fulfilled in their roles are more likely to stick to their volunteer commitments. That’s something worth celebrating too! It is important to let these professionals know that the spirit of volunteerism is enhanced and enable by them – and to thank them. That is why International Volunteer Managers Day is celebrated every year on Nov. 5. Join Volunteer Campbell River in recognizing and thanking the people in this role and their contribution to our community and organizations as we celebrate International Volunteer Manager’s Day on Wednesday, Nov. 5.

Some people really like shoes

We all know a few of these people. You know the ones. They always seem to be wearing shoes you’ve never seen them in before. They are (seemingly) always talking about the pair they saw at [insert store or website here] that they’re just in love with and need to have. They’re the ones who you go visit and you have to move a pair or six out of the way before you can get into their house to take off your own. I’ve struggled with these people for a long time. Mike Davies I’ve struggled with them because I’ve Mike’s Musings always been the type of person who wore On Twitter: one pair of shoes until they just died. @PaperguyDavies Like, I mean, I really kill shoes. I wear miked@campbellrivermirror.com them until the sole pulls away from the rest of the shoe or splits open so my sock shows through the bottom. I wait for

them to fully and completely die before buying another pair, but it generally takes a long time, because I buy pretty good shoes. It just seems to me like a better idea to have one multi-purpose, wellmade shoe that will last as long as it lasts, and approximately go with every outfit I wear rather than to have a bunch of them cluttering up my entryway (or having to buy a shoe rack or something) so that they correspond exactly to a need. But I get it now. In a way, it’s kind of like the skills you acquire in this life. Stay with me here. There are the people in this world who are really, really good at very few things, and there are those who get pretty good at a whole lot of things. Specialists are exactly the person you need for exactly what you need to have

done. They fill one need, and do it better than anyone else you could get for the job. In any circumstance that requires exactly whatever they are best at, they are the ones you should have around. They’re the one pair of shoes on the rack that go with one specific outfit or circumstance. Then there are the “jack of all trades” people who fill a need in a lot of circumstances. They might be less effective in every individual circumstance but you don’t need to look around for the exact one, because they’ll probably do what you need done relatively effectively. They’re the sturdy, multipurpose pair of shoes. So here’s my thought: Maybe I’m the “one multi-purpose shoe” kind of guy because I’ve also always been a “jack of all trades” kind of person, who gets

as good as he can at as many things as he can, rather than specializing in one thing. I can cook you a nice dinner, but I’m not a chef, and the chef ’s meal would probably be better. I could probably fix that thing that’s broken in your wall causing that dripping sound, but I’m not a plumber, and a plumber would probably fix it better. I could maybe do your knee surgery…actually, you probably shouldn’t let me do your knee surgery. Anyway, I guess what I’m saying is that we need specialists. We need the people who are the best at what they do because they have made that their focus. Because I shouldn’t be doing knee surgery. I guess that means, based on this analogy, that we also need the people who have a closet full of shoes.

City staff object to Hyundai’s design change Reporter

KRISTEN DOUGLAS

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The design for Campbell River’s new Hyundai dealership, proposed for the corner of the Island Highway and Meredith Road, came under fire from city staff this week. The dealership will be one of the first in Canada to carry the company’s newest design, but it’s a look that city staff don’t approve of. Chris Osborne, city planner, said the look is different from the one that city council approved on June 24, and strays from the city’s Sustainable Official Community Plan (SOCP) guidelines. “Staff would advise that design amendments that move further from, rather than closer to, the OCP’s (Official Community Plan) guidelines should not be encouraged,” Osborne wrote in a report to council. “This backwards design ‘creep’ serves to undermine much of the

positive development that Campbell River has seen over the last year.” Staff were particularly unhappy with the removal of a vertical tower splitting the middle of the building. Osborne noted that the tower satisfied the SOCP requirement that “rooftops should be punctuated by special features that enhance the skyline” in order to improve the effect of “large uninteresting buildings close to the highway.” The new design also uses different colours. Hyundai is replacing the current blue colour scheme with bronze in an effort to distinguish itself from other dealerships. The new design will use metallic and earth tones in an effort to break away from primary colours typically used by other car dealerships. Gary Thulin, applicant for the new Campbell River Hyundai dealership, told council at Tuesday night’s meeting that he

A comparison between the original proposed Hyundai design (above) and the new design (below) for the new Hyundai dealership.

strongly disagrees with city staff ’s assessment of the new design. “I think it depends on people’s interpretation of the SOCP,” said Thulin who has been involved in forming three of the city’s Official Community Plans. “We’re going from a stark white pattern to a very intense facia. As well, the lettering is of a chrome nature. The upright structure – (Hyundai) doesn’t have it in their design any-

more.” Thulin said he and Hyundai owner Scott Kilby have spent $25,600 on landscaping over and above what was originally proposed to the city. Thulin said all the brush and shrubs on the empty lot that fronts the highway have been cleared, and the surrounding banks have been hydroseeded. “These improvements are over and above what we originally committed

to,” Thulin said. “In our opinion, we have satisfied all aspects of the OCP and provided additional aesthetic appeal.” Coun. Andy Adams said he would support the new design because he saw the issue as a matter of opinion. “I want to recognize what staff are trying to do with the recommendations in the SOCP but what I see with the plan... is we’ve got a national marketing, branding and design team that has come up with something, in my view, that does fit with the SOCP,” Adams said. “I think it’s in the eyes of the beholder. I think it’s subjective and I think they’ve got a good plan going forward.” Coun. Kerr was also supportive of Hyundai’s efforts, saying it was over and above his expectations. Council in the end approved the new design.

Hydro helps tackle graffiti KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

BC Hydro will join in the fight against graffiti in Campbell River. The utility will provide the city with $3,000 annually to be put towards efforts to remove the work of taggers. In exchange, city staff and recruited volunteers will remove any and all graffiti on BC Hydro property and equipment found within the city boundaries. The agreement between Hydro and the city was approved by council at its Tuesday night meeting. Coun. Ron Kerr praised BC Hydro for its financial contribution and its commitment to keeping the city graffiti-free. “I would like to thank BC Hydro for helping to make Campbell River a cleaner city,” Kerr said. “I’ve been

involved in graffiti removal in Campbellton with the Campbellton Neighbourhood Association and the Baptist church, and this partnership with BC Hydro will allow it to become a city-wide initiative.” BC Hydro has agreed to provide the city with paint in official BC Hydro colours, as well as any decals that may need to be affixed to BC Hydro distribution equipment. The utility will also supply a safety awareness sheet outlining potential hazards of the equipment that may need to be cleaned. Under the city’s public nuisance bylaw, property owners who are victims of graffiti are required to remove the tag within five working days and those who don’t can be fined $250. The bylaw imposes a fine of $500 on offenders.

School Board

Ted Foster

attended public school locally. Foster worked as a local, independent, self-employed insurance adjuster for about 40

years before retiring in 2004. Foster is a 40-year member (and past-President) of the noon Rotary club. His mark there was the Rotary Seawalk, a project he initiated and chaired for several years. Foster has served as a Mt. Washington Ski Resort director for 25 years. He also played a pivotal role in the creation of the Wilderness Centre at Paradise Meadows. Community Service has long been the order of his day. Serving as a Trustee has been a rewarding

experience, Foster says, “allowing that we could well have done without the labour unrest.” Dropping enrolments are an ongoing concern. The rebuilding of Ecole Willow Point Elementary, school reconfigurations, progressive student movement into trades-related studies, ever-improving completion rates and local student successes have all been high points. Educational funding seems to be forever shrinking and the local board and district management are

constantly tested to “do more with less.” “Costs all around us are constantly increasing,” Foster says. “Taxpayers look to government to live within our means, minimize future debts and prioritize things.” Foster says that the two boards he has served on both operated responsibly. Trustees set policy and regularly evaluate results. “Noses in, fingers out – this implies that the system is operated by the district management and teaching staff with the board offering

local, accountable, public oversight.” Foster, whose background is businessoriented, believes that innovation is the key to student success. “Skilled tradespeople are and will be required. Our local education system is progressively exposing more of our youth to these opportunities. “We can do better and to that end,” Foster says, “the community, including the other stakeholders, and the board must work together. New funding will be hard to

come by; we must strive to innovate and actively lobby for changes. Especially hard hit will be districts’ with falling or stagnant enrolments. “We have a four year term ahead and, thankfully, a five year contract with teachers and support staff. Let’s make the most of it and do our best even if it means working harder with less,” Foster says, adding that he feels he has demonstrated his keen interest and time commitment and asks for your support again on Nov. 15.

pals. Franklin is currently the Director of Child and Youth Programs

for the Campbell River and District Association for Community Living. Recently, he conceived of and developed Community Living College, which is now in operation providing students with the coursework and hands-on learning that will enable them to begin careers as Community Support Workers specializing in the support of developmentally disabled adults. And now, Franklin is offering his services to the community as an

elected member of the school board. He feels he brings extensive experience and enthusiasm for public education. “Our schools must be safe places where all parents and children are welcome,” Franklin says. “Meeting the diverse needs of our community is a challenge, one that requires imagination, dedication, and determination - I bring these things to the table.” Franklin believes that trustees are elected by the community to rep-

resent the community. The School Board must work cooperatively with parents, teachers and district administration to set solid policy and to establish reasonable goals for growth. He would like the work of the board to be more apparent, as it seems the community doesn’t often hear about the accomplishments of SD72. He believes communication can be improved. “Funding of public education continues to be a controversial issue

in British Columbia, as is high levels of children living in poverty, and the disrespectful attitude of the provincial government toward teachers,” he says. “My approach is threefold. First, school districts need to be budget conscious, efficient and effective managers of public money. Second, trustees need to also advocate for adequate funding that enables all children to receive a high quality education in the province of B.C. Third, only respectful dialog is

acceptable when we are talking about the education of our children. In my role as trustee, I will work with my colleagues to ensure that public funds are spent in the most effective manner possible; I will also be a passionate advocate for adequate funding that enables all children to achieve success in school, and I will do everything I can to promote respect, collaboration, growth, and stability in our schools.”

Carihi Secondary. Her third child, son Alan, is currently in grade three at Pinecrest Elementary School. “I believe it is important that the board of school trustees have the representation of parents with children currently attending school,” Harper says. “As a parent I know how hard teachers and staff have worked to make my children’s

education personally meaningful. Neighbourhood schools are the heart of our education system and will receive my heartfelt support.” Originally from Omsk, Russia, Harper worked as a disability support nurse with seniors in the community and public health nurse with children in public schools. “My training and background in Russia grounded me

in the belief that community outreach with seniors and children is the foundation of every healthy, happy community,” she says. Harper has recently completed the Retail and Hospitality Customer Service Program at North Island College and is completing Grade 12 English at Robron centre in order to further her post-secondary edu-

cation in Canada, saying, “I believe that we keep learning throughout our entire lives. I would like to be part of a school district board of trustees that values life-long learning both at school and in the community.” “My commitment to Campbell Riverites is to work with parents, students, staff and the community through active consultation to ensure

our school system is thriving, vibrant, and responsive to the needs of learners, families, teachers, and support staff. For these reasons I seek your support as a candidate for school trustee in Campbell River.”

schools. Kerr retired in 2009 from the principal’s position at Cortes Island School. Since his retirement, Kerr has travelled extensively throughout North America by motorcycle as well as maintaining his connections with students and staff in SD72 by working as a Teacheron-Call in almost all Campbell River schools and grade levels. For more than fifteen years Kerr sat on the Board of Directors of Campbell River TV (CRTV) and was President from 1994 through 2002 and 2003 through 2009. During his time as President of the Board of

Directors, Kerr oversaw the controversial and tumultuous decision to sell CRTV to Shaw Communications for the highest price per subscriber in Canadian telecommunications history. Kerr believes that education is the key to a child’s future success and that it is crucial for the system to provide the resources that will allow teachers to recognize each child’s needs and strengths. The educational experience should give each child the opportunity to excel in the ways that are best suited to their strengths and interests. “Now and in the future our children

are and will be competing with students from all over the world and it is necessary to provide them with the skills they need to successfully compete in the world of tomorrow.” Kerr says that Campbell River has a growing population of Aboriginal students and he believes it is essential for the Board to continue to recognize the needs of these children and to advocate for sufficient funding to meet these needs. He also says it is also crucial that children who have special needs be identified early in their educational careers and t hat ade qu ate

resources be made available to allow these children to be meaningfully included in their classrooms. “Failure is not an option for any child,” he says. “The costs are simply too great.” Kerr is concerned that the recent disruptions and acrimony between the government of BC and the British Columbia Teachers’ Federation over inadequate school funding and bad faith bargaining as recognized by the BC Court of Appeals may continue to have a lingering effect on our schools. “The Board of Education as the local body responsible for deliver-

ing educational services has the dual responsibilities of supporting our schools, students, parents and employees as well as being advocates for them at the provincial level,” he says. “I believe that Campbell River schools have provided a strong education to our students in increasingly difficult times but it is becoming more difficult as increasing child poverty, and the chronic underfunding of the system increase the stress on all participants in the system. This has to change.”

It is possible to steer institutions toward positive goals and achieve successful outcomes with dialogue and understanding.” Jay feels that she has a place in the fabric of Campbell River educa-

tion. “If my leadership, experience and credentials can help kids in Campbell River get a better start in life, then I am happy to engage in the work. I offer creativity, innovation, an unwavering love for learning, and a desire to make a better future for all people.” Jay has lived in Campbell River (Stories Beach) with her family for 14 years and in the North Island region for 25

ful learning takes place within their families and that strong, positive relationships between families, schools and com-

munity are essential to focusing on the growth of each child toward an adult life of success and well-being. “I am pleased with the process our district undertook in involving the community, including children, in the development of our latest strategic plan,” she says. “I am excited by a plan that focuses on the relationship that schools must have with the larger community, and places value on the many ways that individuals are gifted and

can contribute to that community and their own success,” she says, adding that she believes providing students with opportunities to take on apprenticeship programs helps launch them into a waiting job market. “Providing opportunities for students to develop skills through innovative courses that encompass a range of academic and practical experiences allows them to make decisions about their future goals.” McMann is proud of the collaboration that

has guided SD72 toward our fourth Aboriginal Enhancement Agreement and is excited by the innovation and creativity that teachers and district staff are bringing to their work to ensure we are responding to the needs of students in fresh ways and responding to the challenges of increasing costs and environmental awareness. “We have many fine minds and hearts at work for our district, including parents,” she says. “I believe that a public system of education and

care is critical to both the success of individuals and the health of our society as a whole,” she says. “I am concerned that our ability to meet our goals and support teachers in their best practice is being compromised by rising costs and shrinking resources. I am concerned that we are not always able to deliver what we would like to for all children with special needs. As a Board we have advocated for a funding model that recognizes the true cost of delivering high

quality education for all children. The need to press the provincial government to demonstrate their commitment to public education by implementing stable, predictable and adequate funding will continue to be a priority. “I am forever impressed by the unique gifts and potential of children. I want to be part of the system of public education that supports the growth of those gifts and that potential.”

could be achieved with sma l ler classro oms where teachers could provide more individual support to students,” she says, adding that More funding would also allow for long-term maintenance of district facilities. “As a strong supporter of public education, a priority for me will be working with colleagues to seek a substantial per student funding increase for B.C. school districts,” she says. She believes continuing pressure needs to be exerted on the provincial government at both local and provincial levels, through boards of education and community groups. “I’m very concerned about what appears to be a blatant disregard for the health and well-being of our youth by the provincial government. This disregard crosses over into

education where the government fails to provide the best educational experiences to prepare our young people for the future.” Another priority will be advocating that the government engages in meaningful consultation with boards of education and with educational professionals before the government announces legislation that changes public education. “That’s just a respectful way to deal with local boards,” she says. Since retiring in 2009 from SD72, Janice has maintained her interest in education as a tutor for the Campbell River Literacy Association, which she says she finds extremely satisfying. She has also participated in the community as a volunteer for the 2010 B.C. Seniors Games and served as a member of the Board of Directors

of the Campbell River Curling Club. Rickey’s two now-adult children attended public schools in Coquitlam, now two of her grandchildren attend public school in Surrey, and two attend public school right here in Campbell River. “I’d like my grandkids and their friends to have the

best education possible,” she says, “and I’ll work hard as a school trustee to make that happen.”

needed to make sound decisions, often in difficult circumstances, created by reduced funding levels, and by sudden changes to Ministry of Education requirements. After a career of more than 24 years working as an administrative assistant to the secretary treasurers and school trustees of two B.C. school districts, Campbell River and Coquitlam, Rickey wants to continue her involvement in the education

field as an elected school trustee. She feels her experience and knowledge gained in working with both administration and elected trustees provides solid preparation for contributing to the decision-making and policy-development processes. “I believe that possessing both perspectives makes me uniquely qualified as well as being very familiar with the demands of the role of school trustee,” she says. While continually advocating for increased funding, the current board and administration have worked hard to manage the district within the limitations of the provincial funding system, she says, however, much more could be done if funding was increased. “More learning opportunities and academic success for students

to multi-million dollar project KRISTEN DOUGLAS

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Council agreed Tuesday to spend more than $2 million on a project that the mayor says the public is “completely oblivious” to. The $2.6 million will go to Upland Contracting to install a steel pipe for a new city-wide drinking water system. While the work is coming in roughly $500,000 under budget, Mayor Walter Jakeway said council should hold off on approving large expenditures until after the Nov. 15 civic election. “I think we should postpone this action of approving this contract

until after the next election to allow the next council, which is having to pay for it, the opportunity to have a say,” Jakeway said. “The work doesn’t have to start until March 2015, so a delay of five weeks shouldn’t make too much of a difference.” But the rest of council disagreed and approved awarding the contract to Upland. Upland is expected to begin work no later than March 15, 2015 so that the project team can complete the work before next winter – and poor weather – comes. The city intends to have a new drinking

water intake system in place before the John Hart Generating Station replacement project disconnects the city’s existing water supply in 2017. The city has come up with a replacement system that will involve a new intake and pump chamber at the John Hart Lake which will connect to a new large diameter, transmission pipe connecting the city’s Elk Falls Water Quality Centre to the water system source. But Jakeway said Tuesday night that the public is in the dark about what’s happening. “I don’t think the public knows what’s going on,” Jakeway said. “We’re going into a large project and they’re completely oblivious to what’s happening and I think we need to have some ads in the paper, or a meeting, something so the public can see what’s happening. I think we should postpone it until December or even into January.” The project is scheduled to be done in two

phases, with delivery and installation of the new transmission pipe completed first, followed by the intake, pump chamber and connection to the Water Quality Centre in the second phase. Council has budgeted $16.7 million for the entire water intake project, with the cost spread out over three years. BC Hydro has committed to pay 75 per cent of the costs, up to a maximum of $12.5 million, with the city making up the remainder through its water utility fund. Coun. Andy Adams said in June that council will look for funding opportunities from both the provincial and federal governments to minimize the capital cost to taxpayers. Adams said at the time that the good news is that “Campbell River will be getting a brand new, state-ofthe-art water supply system for a maximum of 25 cents on the dollar that will last for another 50 years.” Work on the new system is expected to be complete in 2016.

For the first time since the spring of 2012, BC Hydro will release water down Elk Falls Canyon to reduce the risk of flooding. “A big change in the weather systems the past week or two culminated last night (Tuesday) with high inflows,” said BC Hydro spokesperson Stephen Watson. “The transition from dry conditions to wet conditions was rapid and significant. And more water will coming over the next week.” The Upper Campbell Reservoir/Buttle Lake has risen over one metre since Monday. This is on top of the increases from the previous week. “The hourly water inflows into the Upper Campbell Reser voir

peaked around 1,000 m3/s and that’s most we’ve seen in a few years,” Watson said. “The 1000 m3/s flow rate is enough water to fill an Olympicsized swimming pool in 2.5 seconds. The daily average (Tuesday) was 380 m3/s but rivers were continuing to rise after midnight.” With the abundance of water, BC Hydro is increasing the 121 MW John Hart generating station to full capacity today from 80 MW. Downstream the Campbell River flows were expected to be around 125 m3/s Wednesday. BC Hydro is watching the weather forecast. A modest storm Wednesday is expected to be followed by a couple storm systems that may hit the area on the weekend. The five day forecast is showing daily inflows into the

upper reservoir receding from 650 m/3s Wednesday to 120 m3/s by five days out, although that’s subject to change. “While the rain has certainly been welcome these volumes are taking it to another level,” Watson said. “The reservoirs are moving towards flood buffer zones and BC Hydro’s preference is to spill smaller amounts of water over a longer period of time versus larger spills over short durations. This helps with flood risk management while taking into consideration fish habitat in the Campbell River and Elk Falls canyon.” BC Hydro planned to

increase the flow down Elk Falls Canyon from about 7 m3/s to about 40 m3/s last night. This will provide a total flow of about 165 m3/s by today. “We anticipate spilling this water through this week and likely beyond,” Watson said. BC Hydro advises the public to stay away from the Campbell River above Elk Falls while flows are elevated. Public warning signage will be placed in this area. “This is the first time BC Hydro has released water down Elk Falls Canyon for flood risk management since the spring of 2012,” Watson said.

Berwick’s tax deal unfair, says city KRISTEN DOUGLAS

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The city and Berwick seniors facility have entered into a new tax agreement after it came to light that Berwick was not getting the same treatment as other companies locked into the tax break program. Berwick has not been getting the full benefit of the city’s downtown tax revitalization agreement which gives multi-residential and commercial developments in some downtown zones, a 100 per cent tax exemption on improvements for five years. Dennis Brodie, the city’s finance operations supervisor, said that’s

because Berwick applied for the tax break to start in 2014, when the building was not yet complete. “At that time it was not considered that, for much of 2014, the building would be under construction and the methodology employed by the BC Assessment Authority would grant the exemption for the construction value in place at Oct. 31, 2013 – when the project was early in the construction phase,” Brodie said. That means that for 2014 Berwick was awarded a $27,939 tax break. Had the building been complete, the tax exemption would have totalled $134,108 and continued at that amount for the next four years,

until 2018. Brodie said the city agreed that it would only be fair to re-enter into a new tax agreement so that Berwick’s exemption starts in 2015 and continues on until 2019, with the full $134,108 tax break in effect for all five years. Brodie said a supplementary assessment will be issued to allow the city to re-do the tax agreement. “A supplemental tax notice (will) then be generated by the city at which time Berwick would pay the additional taxes levied on their property for the 2014 year,” Brodie said. Ron Neufeld, the city’s general manager of operations, confirmed at Tuesday night’s council meeting that the new agree-

ment will bring Berwick in line with other developments. “We’ve had three different property owners that have taken advantage of the tax exemption program,” Neufeld said. “This will ensure that Berwick gets the same level of treatment that the other three already have.” CR DanceXtreme & Fitness and Seymour Pacific take advantage of the program which was created by council to encourage development downtown. The benefit to property owners is that they are exempt from paying that portion of increased value resulting from improvements as determined by BC Assessment.

$81,000!

This past summer, the Marine Harvest salmon barbeque cooked up $31,000 of support for local charities. The support we received from residents of Port Hardy, Black

Creek, Port McNeill, Campbell River and the Comox Valley was incredible - thank you! Since 2011, the Marine Harvest charity salmon barbeque has raised $81,000 for dozens of local, deserving charities and societies. We look forward to serving you

Last Sunday was a stormy one for the Campbell River Wave girls U13 Rep soccer team in more ways than one when they met the Comox Valley Thunder at the Cedar soccer pitch. Rain, high winds and very slippery field conditions made the game an interesting one. The first half began with much of the play in Thunder territory. Kayla Lund and Shelby Cyr worked many plays up the left wing and enabled several shots on goal by Jessica Revoy and Nyla Haider. The Thunder managed to bring the play back to the Wave end of the field, and a free kick chance by the Thunder was saved

by Wave goalkeeper Amelia Nimmon. Fifteen minutes in, Comox Valley scored their first goal, followed by a great chance for the Wave – a great header from defender Rowen Flood led to a breakaway and shot on goal by Cyr, but she couldn’t capitalize on the chance. The Thunder responded to that flurry with another goal. Soon afterwards, Wave game captain Haley Wingert had a free kick chance, which, due to slippery conditions, ended in several players, including the goalkeeper, landing in a heap in front of the Thunder goal. The half ended after a Thunder corner kick was cleared out of the Wave end. The weather worsened during the second half and the Thunder rolled in with two goals within the first few minutes.

Lavenia Rendall, Lacey Holland and Phenix Konrad worked hard up the wing to allow some great chances on goal by Holly Crosby and Tory Stewart. Some excellent defensive moves by Kate Regier and the tenacity of Wingert and Inara Jhawer kept moving the ball up from midfield. A huge kick by Emily McLean cleared the action back to the Comox Valley end. But the Thunder were able to match the pressure and cameup with another goal. Campbell River rallied in the dying minutes of the game which resulted in a shot on goal by Flood. Despite the final score of 0-5 , the Wave showed a new level of fitness, footwork and communication that will help propel them forward in future games.

Sweet, sweet candy history

Halloween is as much about candy as it is about dressing up in fun costumes and engaging in scare tactics. Humans have loved their sweets for centuries.

with chocolate. It wasn’t until the 19th century that innovators began mixing cocoa with sugar to create chocolate bars. Joseph Fry is credited with making the first chocolate bar in 1847, using bittersweet chocolate. Milk chocolate came later, in 1875, when it was introduced by Henry Nestlé and Daniel Peter. Milton Hershey began producing sweet chocolate in 1894. Hershey bars, Nestlé bars and many other original candies are still in production today. Tootsie Rolls and Charleston Chews are other classic candies still produced. Good & Plenty debuted in 1893, making it the oldest branded candy in America. NECCO company Wafers were officially branded in 1901 and are another classic treat consumers can still find

in the candy aisle of their nearest grocery store. Smarties is another candy that’s bound to show up in trick-or-treat bags this Halloween. Smarties have been owned and operated by the same family since 1949. The Ce De Candy Inc. factory opened up in August 1949 in Bloomfield, NJ, and produced a candy that would not melt in the heat. Smarties are a favorite all over North America and elsewhere. When demand is too high for the NJ factory, particularly around Halloween, Smarties are also produced in a Canadian factory in Newmarket, Ontario. Smarties imported to the United States are still called Smarties. However, Smarties sold in Canada are known as “Rockets,” as another candy sold in Canada already bears the Smarties name. Halloween wouldn’t be nearly as sweet without troves of candy treasures. Children are urged to have their candy sorted and inspected by parents prior to eating to avoid any dangers, such as food allergies or tampering.

Although Halloween hasn’t inspired as many songs as Christmas, there is one song that is played nearly every October 31st. Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” has become a perennial favorite on Halloween. With its infectious dance beat, catchy lyrics and spooky narration at the end of the song, it’s easy to see why “Thriller” has been a Halloween staple for the last 30 years. There are many facts surrounding both the song and album it appears on that may surprise even diehard fans of the late King of Pop. Here is some of the trivia surrounding both the album and its eponymous hit. * “Thriller” was released in November of 1982. However, it was not the only album released by Michael Jackson at that time. Jackson also put out an album on which he read the story of “E.T.: The Extraterrestrial” and sang the title song. Both albums won Grammy awards the following year. * “Thriller” the song was composed by Rod Temperton, an English songwriter who also penned other songs for Jackson. * “Thriller” would become the bestselling album of all time. It was the

sixth studio release for Jackson and featured the hit songs, “Beat It,” “Wanna Be Startin’ Somthin,’” “The Girl is Mine” (with Paul McCartney) and “Billie Jean.” It was produced by Quincy Jones. * The song is considered a funk disco song set in the key of C#. * The video for “Thriller” was one of the first mini-movie videos that Jackson would become famous for. It is nearly 14 minutes in duration and ties together the story of a boy (Jackson) and a girl (actress Ola Ray) in a setting inspired by 1950s horror

DOWNTOWN PUMPKIN WALK

movies. * John Landis directed the “Thriller” video. The makeup and special effects were the responsibility of Rick Baker, who also did makeup for the movie “An American Werewolf in London.” Baker appears in the video. He is a zombie stumbling out of the mausoleum. * The music video was played in a Westwood, California theater for one week in 1983 to qualify it for an Oscar nomination. It opened for Disney’s “Fantasia.” * Jackson was a Jehovah’s Witness at

the time the music video was created. He placed a disclaimer at the beginning of the video in which he said he discounted any belief in the occult. * “Thriller” the song was originally intended to be called “Starlight.” * At the height of its popularity, the video for “Thriller” would often run twice per hour on MTV. * The “Thriller”album made history as the only American top-selling album two years in a row for 1983 and 1984 * The actors who played the zombies and other creepy stars of the video were hired after the special effects team began creating costumes, masks and prosthetics. These items would later be custom-fit. *Vincent Price, an American actor known for his distinctive voice and prolific work in many comic-horror films, voiced the narration in the “Thriller” song. *”Thriller” dance moves have been recreated by flash mobs as a rite of Halloween passage across the country. Others have created Halloween light shows accompanying the song.

Campbellton planning big (and little) changes Mike Davies CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

When you type “Campbell River, BC” into Google maps, the point that comes up is at the intersection of the Inland Island Highway and the Old Island Highway. It’s actually White’s Diesel Power and Marine, to be specific. When you arrive by airplane, according to Brian Shaw of the Campbellton Neighbourhood Association, you’re taken via the Inland Island Highway through Campbellton in order to get into town,

and yet it’s Willow Point, Downtown, and other areas that get the bulk of the attention in terms of improvement. In an attempt to remedy that situation, the association has begun an in-depth review of what it would take to make Campbellton a place to be proud of. It should be more welcoming aesthetically for visitors, as well as more comfortable and accessible for residents, Shaw said. Part of this plan involves a series of community consultations alongside the Urban Planning Team from

Vancouver Island University (VIU), one of which was held Wednesday evening at the Eagles Hall. The VIU team has been working on their study of the area for more than a year, and have come up with some concrete plans and topics they feel should be addressed, which were recently presented to residents. The VIU study is broken up into three sections: Mobility, Safety and Security, and Assets and Liabilities. The actions and projects they are discussing for consideration have four

timeframes, from short to ongoing, and have four cost categories, from minimal to high, meaning any improvement, no matter how small, or how long it will take to accomplish, are candidates for consideration. The priority actions that have risen to the top of the pile after more than a year of consultation and discussion, and were on the agenda for discussion at Wednesday’s meeting, are the implementation of an entrance feature for the north end of town, a plan for a Campbellton

“main street,” a strategic plan for the riverfront, a community map, a community garden, and a bus exchange for the area.
