Whether in times of war or peace, we are ever grateful for these brave souls who put themselves in harm’s way for the greater good of all Canadians. This year, with continuing turmoil worldwide, the need becomes even more apparent to keep November 11 aside for current & future generations to remember and appreciate their courage and sacrifices made in the name of freedom. We believe that when we stand united in acts of remembrance, we can make a world of difference.

WWII bomber command survivor receives new medal for war time service
www.CampbellRiverMirror.com www.CampbellRiverMirror.com
R
emembrance Day is always a special time for long-term Campbell River resident and World War II veteran Ted Turner, who might perhaps best be called “Lucky”, and he intends to be back “on parade” again this year. And this time, Turner, who turned 90 earlier this year, will be sporting a new medal he received a short time back: the new Bomber Command Bar, which was attached to his Volunteer Medal of Honor, as directed by the federal government, just in time for his birthday. Turner volunteered for the Royal Canadian Air Force in the war, trying – initially in vain – to get in under aged at 16 but eventually being accepted at 18. He then flew 35 missions as a tail-gunner in a seven-man, fourengine Halifax bomber. He had hoped to be trained to become a pilot, but in order to be part of an air crew, accepted the vulnerable tail-gunner’s position, on the suggestion of the recruiting officer that he could become pilot “later.” He finally did, but only after he had survived an entire “tour” of duty to win a return to Canada and civilian life. The Bomber Command Bar is a new recognition of still-surviving members of the RCAF in Bomber Command who have to apply to apply to Ottawa and Veterans Affairs for it. Turner says that recognition was not given before because of the devastation Bomber Command delivered to Germany and German forces that inevitably also killed large numbers of civilians. Canada contributed thousands of aviators and ground crew to that effort, and lost thousands of airmen as a result. Close to one in every six airman was shot down and killed or taken prisoner for the rest of the war. Tail-gunners were favorite targets for German fighter pilots attacking the bombers on the way to or out from targets in conti-
view recently that only three of the crew are now alive and both his colleagues are two to four years older than
him. He’s in process of obtaining the Bomber Command Bar – which is decorated with a fourengine bomber - for
them, too; and he plans on being “on parade” in Campbell River on Remembrance Day Tuesday.

nental Europe. But in England, too, the bombers’ contribution to the Allied war effort was only honored in the past few years with a Royal unveiling of a special statue and war memorial dedicated to Bomber Command (BC). Turner attended that dedication in London with his son Mark, alongside many other representatives of Canada and throughout the world. Turner recalls that he and the crew he joined in England completed their “tour” of raids over Europe in just a matter of months and he returned to Canada a year to the day after he left for the United Kingdom. After the war he flew for some years for the Lac La Croix Air Service in Ontario before deciding he wanted to get away from having to service aircraft in agonizingly-cold conditions. That led to Campbell River, where his experience as a pilot quickly got him a job with Vancouver Island Air, flying out of the floatplane base down on the Tyee Spit. Although he had picked up a respiratory
problem during his time as “Tail End Charlie” – as the rear-gunners were known – he and the rest of the crew came through the war almost entirely unscathed; and they were widely honored when they came
together as an entire crew at a RCAF warvets’ reunion 30 years ago, in 1984. They were told then that they were the only still-intact RCAF BC crew in the world. Turner said in inter-

Transportation Minister Todd Stone is now reversing course on statements made earlier this week in regards to eliminating the Departure Bay to Horseshoe Bay ferry run. In a document filed on Sept. 30 to British Columbia Ferry Services by Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Robert Clarke, a series of recommendations were made to continue to “enhance efficiencies” over the coming years, some of which would have major implications for travellers to and from the Mid/North Island region. The main implication being the possible amalgamation of the two ferry terminals in Nanaimo – Departure Bay and Duke Point – and running those ferries exclusively to Tsawwassen, cutting off Vancouver

Island’s direct access to the north side of Vancouver through Horseshoe Bay. The study said that there is “the potential to increase service efficiency to the mid-island corridor and reduce the overall operating cost profile to this corridor, the potential to optimize terminal capital investment between the two Metro Vancouver terminals … and the potential to optimize the number of vessels serving the mid-island corridor.” According to the report, because the routes between the Lower Mainland and Departure Bay/Duke Point provide 51 per cent more round trips and 38 per cent greater vehicle capacity, yet carry only two per cent more vehicles and 16 per cent fewer passengers on an annual basis when compared to the crossing between Tsawwassen and Victoria,

they are key routes in targeting efficiencies within the organization. The report also stated that “six out of 11 Major Route vessels are due for replacement from fiscal 2023 through fiscal 2030,” so “significant operational and capital efficiencies can be gained if the number of vessels serving the midisland corridor can be reduced,” and Minister Stone said that he was looking at all of the recommendations in the report as possibilities. “This is ridiculous,” said Claire Trevena, North Island MLA and NDP ferries spokesperson, in response to the report, before the government back-pedalled on the possibility of implementing its findings. “The (transportation) minister should be putting a stop to that discussion right now,” she said, rather than entertaining the option in any way.

Ferries: Costly upgrades needed Continued from Pg. 4
“They just never look at long-term economic c ons e qu e nc e s , t h is government,” Trevena said. “These are longterm projects that will have long-term consequences in so many ways, and this government just doesn’t look at those consequences.” Trevena said the Nanaimo to Horseshoe Bay route is a well-used route that serves a completely different demographic than the ones it’s being compared to in the report, so the comparison in the report is faulty. She also restated her view that the ferry system should be considered part of the highways system in B.C. “BC Ferries needs to stop working as a corporate entity worried about it’s bottom line,” she said. “Transportation systems shouldn’t be designed to make money, and this pseudo ‘not private, but not public, either’ mishmash will never work.” The report also cited a $200-million investment needed to make structural improve-
ments to the Horseshoe Bay terminal as part of the reasoning for recommending the route closure. Those upgrades, according to the report, “carry a significantly higher risk of successful execution and of business interruption than at other terminals.” “If there were major upgrades that were needed (at Horseshoe Bay) why didn’t they do those when they did the last round of major upgrades four years ago for the Olympics?” asked Trevena. “And the actual ferry terminal isn’t going anywhere, because it’ll still be serving Bowen Island and Langdale, right? Won’t it still need those
upgrades?” There was immediate speculation amongst the public, especially rampant on Twitter and Facebook, that the government was intentionally trying to rile people up against this particular proposal so that when the next round of ferry service adjustments is made they won’t look as grave in comparison and will be easier to accept, causing less backlash. “That wouldn’t surprise me,” said Trevena. “It’s the way we’ve seen this government work in the past, so that could very well be what they’re doing,” implying that it could be a ploy by the government to raise fares again to cover

infrastructure cost that should be coming out of their budget. “They could be doing it so they can then say, ‘Okay, we’ll keep Horseshoe Bay to Nanaimo, but you’ll have to pay for the upgrades with your ferry tickets,’” and have people more readily accept fee increases. The day after the announcement, Minister Stone said he has reconsidered cutting the route, telling CBC, “That’s an iconic run in British Columbia–very popular with locals and tourists and I think we’ve been very consistent in saying there’s no appetite whatsoever within the B.C government to see BC Ferries cancel that run.”

Our View
Pause to remember Remembrance Day services on Tuesday will likely feel a little different this year. On Oct. 22 Canadians were shocked when a lone gunman ended the life of We say: We will Cpl. Nathan Cirillo as he stood guard at take a moment the National War Memorial in Ottawa. The gunman, Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, to thank our then went to the nearby Parliament veterans Tuesday buildings and the nation held its breath as he stormed in only metres from parliamentarians holding their weekly caucus meetings. The attack happened two days after two other Canadian
soldiers were run down in Quebec by another troubled young man. In the days that followed, veterans and cadets took up Cirillo’s watch at their own local cenotaphs. It was their way of thanking the young reservist for his selfless duty that ended up costing him his life. As investigators worked to determine if the two incidents were linked, and perhaps new manifestations of homegrown terrorism, soldiers were cautioned to keep a low profile, and refrain from wearing their uniforms in public. That changes on Tuesday. Veterans, current military personnel, reservists and
cadets will pull on their snappy, pressed uniforms, don their caps and berets, pin their medals to their chests, and put one last glean on their polished shoes. They’ll parade down streets across the country to gather in city squares, around cenotaphs and memorials to remember those who served before them and lost their lives. And we’ll thank them with our applause, handshakes and pats on the bank. Because it’s their dedication, hard work and sacrifice that has kept the fright and destruction of war from touching most of our lives directly. - Black Press
Prevent violence against women Nearly seven in 10 Canadians have known a woman who has experienced physical or sexual abuse. As part of Crime Prevention Week (Nov. 1-7), the Province wants to help ensure British Columbians know the signs of violence against women and how they can help. Violence against women happens in all cultures, religions, and ethnic communities, at every age, and in every income group. Violence against women can include: n Physical abuse, such as slapping, choking, and punching or using objects as weapons. n Using threats, intimidation, or physical harm to force unwanted sexual acts. n Emotional and verbal abuse. Examples include threatening to harm family or pets, making degrading comments about a woman’s body or behaviour, and actions that limit freedom and independence. A woman who is being abused may be apologetic and make excuses for her partner’s behaviour, or be nervous when her partner is nearby. She may also seem sad, lonely, withdrawn, afraid and use drugs and alcohol to cope. You can help a woman impacted by violence by: n Talking to her about what you see and letting her know you’re concerned. n Telling her you believe it’s not her fault. n Encouraging her not to confront her partner if she’s planning to leave as her safety must be protected. n Offering to provide childcare while she seeks help. n Volunteering your home as a safe haven to her, her children, and pets - if your own safety is not at risk. Help is available at any time to victims of violence in B.C. If your safety is in danger, call 911 right away. You can also call your local police detachment or VictimLink BC at 1-800-563-0808 (www.victimlinkbc.ca).
Are you sick of hearing about Jian Ghomeshi If you follow the Canadian media world, or just haven’t been stranded in the woods sheltering in a cave for the last few weeks, you know there’s a situation happening with CBC’s (now former) superstar Jian Ghomeshi. I wanted to avoid writing on this topic, and almost thought I had. But I think I still have to, even if you’re all sick of hearing about it by now. In fact, I have to write about this BECAUSE you’re sick of hearing about it. Mike Davies Mike’s Musings Because as much as you might be sick about hearing about Ghomeshi, you On Twitter: @PaperguyDavies should be even more sick of the reason miked@campbellrivermirror.com you’re still hearing about him. It’s important that you’re hearing about him. It’s good that his face keeps
popping up in your newsfeed on Facebook, and every little change in the status of his downfall is being broadcast on the radio. For me, the crux of the Ghomeshi issue is this: we, as a society, need to publicly acknowledge and be disgusted by the people in our society who perpetrate victimization. This Ghomeshi situation and the discussion surrounding it should never have been about whether people’s private sex lives should be known to the world. It should never have been about whether BDSM practices are (or even whether they should be) palatable by our society. It should never have been about
whether the CBC has a right to be allowed to decide what type of behavioural standard they want their employees to live up to, or whether they were morally right (or even lawful) in cutting ties with Ghomeshi. Of course, we can talk about all those things, as well, because they’re valuable discussions to be having (part of the reason you’re sick of hearing about him is because there are so many aspects of the situation worth talking about) but for me the discussion should be about how actively we are going to address the concept of “consent,” in our society. It should be an acknowledgment of the seriousness of violence – especially sexual violence perpetrated by men against women – its pervasiveness within our
society, and what (if anything) we’re willing to do to change that. We need to take victimization and sexual violence seriously in our society. We need to stop ignoring it. We need the reminder of it to be present. We need to be forced to look at it. So if being oversaturated with Jian Ghomeshi posts in our Facebook news feeds – and hearing about him on the radio, and seeing stories about it on television and in our newspapers and magazines – keeps this issue in the forefront of our thoughts, I’d say it’s a good thing. Don’t be sick of hearing about Jian Ghomeshi. Be sick about why you’re hearing about him.

A proposed liquor store with residential living units above has new life after being put on hold for more than a year. Plans for the development at 1054 South Island Highway, just south of the Husky gas station, were approved by city council Tuesday night, but on a much smaller scale. The most recent version has the development downsized from 20 residential apartments to two. Chris Osborne, city planner, said in a report to council that because the property has changed owners since council approved the original plans in August 2013, a plan to use the adjoining Big Rock Motel lot for parking is no longer feasible. “Following a change of site ownership, locating the parking elsewhere is no longer possible and must therefore be wholly contained on site,” Osborne said. “The site constraints reduce the level of development since there is no further space on site for any additional parking.” Curtis Miles, agent for the development, said the new proposal means there will be less impact to the property and to the steep slope that rises up above the back of the property.
This re-vamped, smaller scale version of a liquor store with residential suites up above has been approved by council.
“There will only be a slight scraping into the hill,” said Miles who noted that there will be a secondary retention berm. Miles said a geotechnical survey by Levelton consultants concludes that the development can be safely located in the proposed location, with foundation-bearing conditions present. Miles noted that the project also complies with the city’s Sustainable Official Community Plan’s slope hazard guidelines. Miles said he was also assured by Levelton that if a slide were to occur, it would be a “very shallow shifting” and there would be no “instability in terms of large-scale, deep seeded sliding.” Mayor Walter Jakeway, who voiced his concerns over the slope when the development first came to council last year, said Tuesday that he could support the revised plan but said the jury is still out on what may happen in the event of a landslide. “We’ll wait and see what a small slide looks like,”

Jakeway said. “If it’s big, don’t call me.” Coun. Ron Kerr, who
Dave Hamilton Publisher
was also opposed to the original plan, said the new design would be much more feasible. “This I believe is a good looking project,” Kerr said. “Staff have identified and answered all of my concerns to do with parking and the slope.” Coun. Andy Adams also praised the new proposal. “I want to compliment the proponent,” Adams said. “This will fit in much better than the previous plan.”

There will soon be a new online business networking resource for those who want to be a part of the Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) industry. The Campbell River Chamber of Commerce hosted a luncheon on Tuesday where local businesspeople came together to find out how to get in on the burgeoning LNG industry, were told to form partnerships to give themselves a shot at being a part of the projects and were given
a heads up about a new tool to help them do so. “This is a big industry with huge global supply chains,” said speaker Gordon Wilson, current LNG-Buy BC Advocate and former MLA for Powell River/Sunshine Coast. “They have huge manufacturers and global contractors, but they also understand that there is the need to use local business. In order for us to engage in that, we have to understand how to be smarter about getting that work.” Continued on Pg. 9

LNG-Buy BC Advocate Gordon Wilson’s presentation highlighted possibilities provided by the LNG industry in BC and previewed an online tool for businesses to use to help them get in on the economic benefits.

LNG partnerships to form via online tool Continued from Pg.8
He said the recent estimates that B.C. has a 150-year supply of natural gas deposits to be tapped for export, and the interest from the government in broadening Canada’s market for the product, means there will be plenty of opportunities for businesses to get involved and benefit economically from the resource, if they know how to go about it. “B.C. business, generally speaking, has a huge opportunity and great potential, but in large measure, we aren’t going to get that work through direct award or direct contract work with the major prop onents,”
he said. “We’re more likely to benefit through the subcontracting work that comes out of each of these various projects,” meaning it’s likely that the major proponents will not be local business, but multinational corporations that B.C. companies will need to approach for work. In order to do this, Wilson said, “you (will) need to provide a broad enough scale of work in order to put yourself into a position where you’re a desirable bidder to secure work in the industry.” In other words, individual businesses will generally need to group together to create partnerships in
For School Trustee
order to successfully bid on large-scale contracts, and that’s what the LNGBuy BC online tool is designed to facilitate. The online tool being developed by LNG-Buy BC, which will roll out Nov. 20, will allow businesses to register and coordinate with each other to make each company better positioned to take advantage of some of this subcontracting work, he said.
The site, according to Wilson, will not only allow businesses to promote their own capabilities, but also help them match those strengths with other businesses who have other skills or desirable benefits – such as investment capital – to create and develop these possible partnerships, as well as be a central hub of sorts where project activity, bids, awards, and progress can be tracked
OPEN REMEMBRANCE DAY 11:30AM TO 1:00AM
so these partnerships will know when and where the opportunities are for them to become involved. It will also be a onestop-shop for bidding on jobs related to LNG projects.

Campbell River resort a labour of love for North Island College tourism and culinary graduates Carmen Amberson and Joe Volk met at North Island College. She was a tourism and hospitality management student; he took all three levels of his professional cook training at NIC and was adding a few tourism managment courses to round out his skill set. That was 11 years ago. When they graduated, they each worked in a variety of area resorts and restaurants, until the opportunity came up to work together. “Dolphins had gone through a couple of chefs who just didn’t work out and the owners and I kept saying we needed someone like Joe,” Carmen said. “The resort owners had been to our house for dinner and really liked his cooking. We talked around it for a
bit until finally we thought, why not?”

These days, the couple epitomizes industry success.
For Carmen, seeing an NIC credential on a résumé is a definite plus. In her experience, NIC graduates have the professionalism and practical skills to succeed.

For the record
In an article titled ‘Live in one house while building another on the same property’ that appeared in the Friday, Oct. 31 edition of the Mirror it was stated that city council approved a zoning amendment that would allow a property owner to live in an existing dwelling while building a second on the same property. In fact, council only approved sending the amendment to a public hearing which took place Tuesday evening, with no one speaking to the topic. It will be up for third reading by council at its next meeting before it can be adopted.

There are 18 tenants already moved into the newest addition to the downtown core, and 57 more are booked for arrival this month. The finishing touches are still being put on, and some furniture is still in transit, but Gary Forsgren, General Manager of Berwick by the Sea says everything is coming together just fine. The facility boasts not only the amenities that one would expect from a seniors complex – games rooms, exercise facilities, accessible washrooms and the like – but also a rooftop greenhouse for residents with a green thumb, a serene courtyard (complete with a 30-year-old spruce tree), and breathtaking views of the Georgia Strait and Quadra Island, not to mention the 35-seat movie theatre. “We really wanted to make it like a cruise ship on land,” Forsgren said. “The whole goal is to have all the amenities here that our residents would want, while we

keep them as independent as they can be for as long as they can.” “Our goal is to make this a community within the broader Campbell River community,” Forsgren said, “and that’s what I feel we’ve done.” Part of that community engagement will be not only the plentiful public areas and lounges for family and friends to visit residences, “no differently than any other home they’ve ever had,”
according to Forsgren, but also a community public meeting room that can be booked by organizations who need a space to meet, bring them into the fold of the Berwick residence. Forsgren said they are looking into the possibility of following the Comox facility’s lead by incorporating students into their routine. “They (Berwick Comox Valley) have a kindergarten class come
in once a week and do activities with the residents, bridging the generation gap and creating another level of positive engagement between the two communities,” Forsgren said, and he hopes they can set up something similar with the next board of SD 72, as well. Check out berwickretirement.com for more information on the facility, soon to include photos of the completed project.

Watch for the Carihi Mirror bi-weekly feature starting Friday, November 14th A bit about myself. I am a grade eleven student at Carihi. I starting writing as a Greta Hamilton creative outlet in elementary school, mostly creating novel ideas for princesses and talking pets. But as I have aged and continued writing creatively, I have invested myself in journalism. I’m interested in the arts, visual and otherwise, politics, and academics. When I’m not writing, I’m riding my bike, making art, and growing plants. This is my second year writing for the Carihi Mirror column. I have greatly enjoyed the opportunity to write and share my findings as a student with the public. I look forward to another great year with the Mirror!
When I was younger, I found myself drawn into the world of fiction, enticed by courageous heroes and heroines and their grand Cheylyn Lougheed adventures in worlds unknown. It was only when I glazed the surface of reality during my tenth year of school that I came to the shocking realization that not only did I live in a world that was full of grand adventures and interesting, courageous people, that many of those stories needed to be voiced. And it was almost even more astonishing to learn that I could write about them myself. So now when I’m not writing about reality and tending to my roots of creative fiction, I find myself often drawn to film, history, and other various art forms that often take shape in both the graphic superhero novel variety and the interactive electronic game variety.
When I was a young child, I would write short songs with my friend. I always wrote the lyrics. Those memories Evan Johansen have stuck with me ever since, and have formed the connections I have made to various types of writing. Journalism has not been one of them until quite recently, when I started to become more interested in human rights and voicing my own opinions on issues we have in today’s society. When I was 12 I started writing simple poetry, and at the end of 2013 it transformed into spoken word as well as short stories. Aside from writing, I have a strong interest in botany, design, and culinary arts.”

Growing up on Quadra I was lucky enough to be surrounded by lots of friends and family. The people around Breagha Zakaib me had no shortage of personality and I have bits and pieces of them all. I was always attentive to people’s views and opinions. Soon enough I realised that what people say can be looked at both positive and negatively and that their words can have a major affect. With the mix of love for reading and writing, the thought of “journalism” came to mind when I was asked the nerve racking question “so what are your plans for after high school” through the Mirror I hope to express the views and thoughts of my age group, and further my interest in being a journalist.
Until I was in grade 9, I never considered how my voice as a youth was important. That same year, opportunities Claire Billings started to arise where I could share my opinions and have them listened to. Since then, I have been passionate about helping our youth of Campbell River share their voices and perspectives with the city. Now, this amazing opportunity of writing for the Campbell River Mirror has come to me. I hope to accurately portray the visions and thoughts that youth have on various events and ideas within our community.

Riverite product stars in Muppet-esque musical Avenue Q lands at the Sid Williams Theatre on Nov. 15 as part of the theatre society’s 2014 2015 Blue Circle Series. The show is a production by Vancouver’s critically acclaimed Arts Club Theatre Company. This production also has a local connection to the North Island with Campbell River native Nick Fontaine in a starring role as Trekkie Monster and Bad Idea Bear. Fontaine grew up in Campbell River and currently resides in Vancouver; he is making his Arts Club Theatre Company debut with Avenue Q. A talented actor, singer, and musician, Fontaine has spent over a decade performing across Canada in a wide variety of productions. He is a graduate of UBC and Capilano University, and a recipient of UBC’s Beatrice Wood Scholarship for Acting and two Ovation Awards for outstanding performances. Irreverently witty and outright uproarious, Avenue Q is the musical story of Princeton, a bright-eyed college graduate who arrives in New York City looking for love, a job, and his purpose in life. The only neighbourhood he can afford is the multicultural Avenue Q, where Sesame Street-esque puppets rub shoulders with humans. Winner of
laughter. This is a puppet show. However, this is not your kids’ puppet show as it sneaks a peek at raucous sexual congress, failed childhood stardom, excessive drinking, moving in and out of a slummy neighbourhood, investing, mix-tapes, cute creatures doing bad things, singing boxes, getting laid off, finding your purpose, getting fired, getting re-hired, ruvving someone but wanting to kirr them, exotic dancing, erotic dancing, exotic erotic dancing, homosexuality, racism, pornography, masturbation, interracial marriage, interspecies relationships (monsters and humans), roommates, coming out of the closet, coming out of your apartment, getting ahead in life, going to

the Tony Award “Triple Crown” in 2004 (Best Musical, Best Book, and Best Score), and the 2013 Jessie Richardson Theatre Award for Outstanding Musical, Avenue Q is part felt, part flesh, and packed with songs that are surprisingly poignant and only occasionally PC. “The music is playful, the lyrics are outrageous, the script
is hilarious, and the characters are delightful. Underneath its colourful fur, a big, boisterous heart beats. Avenue Q is the perfect musical comedy…unless you are under 14 years of age,” said director Peter Jorgensen. “I’m thrilled to be taking our hit production on tour to entertain even more audiences!” Warning: Full pup-

Inspiring and preparing our youth to succeed in an ever-changing global economy
Counselling for all members of the family
By Darlene Garat Financial Group As parents we want the best for our children. We often stretch our own finances for our kids – for sports, school, and other pursuits. However, parents today are really the first to have readily accessible credit: home equity mortgages, lines of credit, easily obtainable high credit card limits, and other debt instruments. Being the first means struggling to understand and manage complicated financial situations, and feeling unsure about your ability to teach your kids about money. Since 1955, British Columbia schools have relied on Junior Achievement (JA) to inspire and prepare our youth to succeed in an ever-changing global economy. This year 30,000 students in B.C. will benefit from JA programs delivered by volunteers from local business communities, who bring real-life experience into the classroom. JA programs focus on helping to define career options, financial literacy (including debt and credit realities), and entrepreneurship, giving students the confidence and skills they need to become the next generation of business and community leaders.
Frances Ferguson, M.Ed. Registered Clinical Counsellor 778-418-1818

Invest In A Brighter Future...
In Campbell River, two JA programs are currently offered to students: Economics for Success to grades 9/10; and coming soon “Dollars with Sense” to grades 7/8/9. Uniquely, each program is provided free of charge and is delivered to students in-class during school hours. Junior Achievement programs are tremendously effective in instilling financial common sense and encouraging entrepreneurial aspirations among Canadian youth. Visit www.jabc.org for more information. Teachers wishing to host Junior Achievement in their classroom or business professionals wishing to volunteer are urged to contact Gail Stroud, JA Program Coordinator gail.stroud@jabc.org

OPEN LETTER TO MY PRESENT AND FUTURE CUSTOMERS There is an old saying that “A Man’s Home is His Castle.” Personally, I would prefer it to read “A Queen’s and King’s home is their Castle!” In the days of Castles, they were built out of stone and the only way for the people inside to see outside the castle was by way of very narrow slots in the walls and towers, their purpose being to prevent opposing forces from shooting arrows and other weapons into said castle. Today, we live in homes with glass windows, through which, we can view the world outside. Unfortunately, that makes us vulnerable to the world outside and criminally minded folk, who can gain access with any rock of their choice (an example of a crime of opportunity!) Even with a good alarm service, they have the time, albeit brief, to steal lots, and in their haste, cause damages aplenty. Insurance cannot replace rare collectibles or items of the most sentimental value; where do you find another? That is why Response Time is a critical factor in loss prevention; The Home Guard is strictly Campbell River District and will likely respond more quickly than an alarm monitor callout to Security Personnel or the Police, who cannot attend ahead of other more urgent demands. You, our valued customer, are our #1 Priority and Loss Prevention is our Primary Goal. Lawrence Dashwood-Jones, The Home Guardsman dashwood-jones@shaw.ca 778-235-4931

WE ASKED: What will be your top two priorities if elected? MAYORAL CANDIDATES ● ANDY ADAMS 1. The immediate priority is for the mayor to demonstrate leadership in working with the members of the new council, identify their strengths and structure the council in a manner that maximizes their potential to develop and move the Strategic Plan forward in an efficient and effective manner. Council must be focused on key priorities and initiatives as agreed to by all of council, establish reporting criteria, and set targets to ensure success. Council must provide regular reports on activities and liaison responsibilities to create a full understanding of the issues and provide opportunities for support and assistance. Council must work in a collaborative manner with the city manager to ensure that council and staff are working together and there are no surprises. Council must work with our community First Nations partners to bridge some of the challenges that we must deal and live with locally but are imposed through federal legislation, and work with our affiliates in the Strathcona Regional District and the Regional Hospital and Solid Waste boards to ensure that everyone is heard and respected. 2. Continue with the downtown revitalization initiative that will see people living down-
town. Berwick is a start, but having residents in the downtown centre stimulates the economy and creates a vibrant, safe, desirable place to be. With a successful downtown core, all the surrounding areas, whether it be Campbellton, Pier Street, Willow Point, Wei Wai Kum or Wei Wai Kai First Nations, will benefit and see positive results. ● WALTER JAKEWAY 1. Every decision must ooze common sense. Actions by mayor, council and staff must be timely and clearly researched. Taxpayer input must always be encouraged and respected. Final decisions shall be transparent and practical. Numerous decisions by this council have challenged the public’s tolerance for “out of touch” expenditures e.g. $4.8 million for an artificial turf field at Robron Park, an unnecessary traffic light at Petersen and 14th Avenue, St. Ann’s Road/ Alder Street squeezing, a glass roof over the stage at Spirit Square, and ongoing annual support of RiverCorp. Governments have no money. Those paying the bills deserve respect. City Hall needs to lose the label - “The Puzzle Palace.” 2. Thoughtfully lower operating costs for the City of Campbell River, with no loss of service in fact, with a significant increase in customer focus. City residential
tax rates will be reduced by 15 per cent over three years. Really! Infrastructure needs will be responsibly handled in an organized and logical “heads up” manner. There is no shortage of money at City Hall. There is a lack of good priority setting and then adhering to the agreed upon direction. Not informing the public on current financial status, e.g., no regular open monthly financial reporting for council or for public review is a serious oversight. This must end in December 2014. ● STEVE WOOD First. Certainly the immediate concern and priority is to ensure that you vote, as four of five people did not vote in 2011. The time for a new mayor, healthy new positive leadership, with an effective and respectful working new city council is very important. That new leadership can and will deliver the second priority, moving our city forward working cohesively and effectively together to ensure that, one, we can continue
to maintain and deliver affordable levels of services and programs, and two, keep our residential tax increases to modest levels, and ideally have a zero tax hike in the second year of budget deliberations if possible. The 2012 14 per cent, 2009 12 per cent and 2010 9 per cent tax hikes, and similarly 2009 12 per cent business tax increases are unacceptable nor affordable to seniors or others on fixed incomes. If given the direction from voters to lead our city, I’ll immediately initiate a comprehensive city-wide organizational and core services review, that will find cost savings and efficiencies, allowing us to deliver and maintain the important levels of service within the present fiscal challenges. We did the organization review in the 1990’s making several changes, and there’s no good reason why past elected councils have not reviewed this for near twenty years. Similarly, a newly elected council will prioritize the importance of maintaining and creating good paying local long term jobs, that will allow our young people and others the option of remaining and working in Campbell River. Thank you for your con-

COUNCIL CANDIDATES ● MICHELE BABCHUK Currently, as I am knocking on peoples doors, I am hearing three distinct issues; taxation - economic development and local job creation – and respectful relationships within city council. You will have a group of candidates tell you that they are going to decrease taxes and increase services. These are ambiguous campaign promises that I can’t, in good conscience, come out and say. I believe in responsible transparent taxation that allows the community to be informed, consulted and understanding how and why the levels of taxation are set. Instead of making empty promises, I’d like to have a meaningful dialogue with the community to, at a minimum, slow the tax increases down and still maintain an acceptable level of services to our community. We have to choose to make decisions that
are always right, and not always easy. Community-oriented economic development is imperative to the future visioning of our city. We need to look at ways to attract diverse jobs that will allow families to remain in Campbell River, employ our under employed, support our seniors population and take Campbell River’s natural attributes into consideration. And thirdly we need to create a culture of respectful dialogue within council. It’s easy to always sit in opposition, but to “Oppose and then Propose” takes, vision, initiative and leadership. These are traits I would like to bring to City Hall. ● BOB BRAY My number one priority is improved oversight by council of the city’s finances. This means having the major portion of the 2015 budget completed by the end of January. The 2015 budget will be expected to have a five per cent residential tax rate cut, even if achieving this goal by the target date requires the use of the
yet unannounced 2014 surplus. It also means avoidance of year end spending. And it means sharing financial reports with council on a regular basis and not just an audited financial statement after the year is over. My second priority is setting clear expectations for the city manager about tighter management policies. This means the discretionary spending limit for his position and for general managers needs to be lower than $100,000. In addition, a specific request will be made for a report on purchase orders signed in November and December this year. I am part of the CHOICE working group. We are upfront about having majority votes on Council. The re-election of Mayor Walter Jakeway is endorsed by David Christian, Marcia McKay, Jim Parnell and myself. Together, the five of us can deliver decisiveness in a positive direction for Campbell River’s next four years.

● DAVID CHRISTIAN If elected, I would work towards establishing a new residential and business tax rate history for this community. I have consistently stated, “when a community is managed within its means, it benefits everyone.” A community legacy of continuous tax increases is not good, I do understand the need to provide services at a level that provides an attractive livability in the community. Promoting sustainable growth will help provide the increased revenues that will provide better services to the community, as we can afford
them. In addition, I do feel there are cost savings available. When some candidates say taxes can’t be cut, I say, “can’t means won’t try!” I feel Campbell River’s location to world class recreation is second to none. We have it all, with easy access to rivers, lakes, mountains, boating, fishing, the list is endless. We need to let the world know about our community’s strengths and successes. I would promote a collective effort between City Hall, and businesses that directly benefit from visitors and investors. This could reduce cost to the tax payers, as well provide broader and better promotion of our community as “the” place to live, visit, and invest. With our quality of life assets, stable predictable

tax rate, and customer friendly City Hall, we gain considerable leverage in the competition to attract investment for our community. Thank you for your consideration. ● CHARLIE CORNFIELD In terms of a high level objective, to be part of a good council team, making sound decisions accepted and supported by the community. We
City council candidates debate the issues need a team of mayor, council, and staff that works together, listens to the community, and delivers results. The main function of council is on developing a strategy and associated budget. The concern expressed by people in our community is financial management. That comes across as taxes and expenditures. There is not enough money to deliver the services without raising taxes. Therefore, we need to find other sources of annual, sustainable revenue. Therefore my second priority would be to have a community
forest established. The forest would be managed for environmental, social and economic values producing meaningful revenues to take the place of some local taxation and providing other benefits to the community. A properly run community forest should generate around $750,000 per year to the city. ● ANDREA CRADDOCK My first priority will be helping build a respectful team at city council. My years of service as president of the Labour Council (and other executives) has taught me how to be a team
player and work with diverse opinions at reaching common goals. I believe this is key to an effective, functioning council. My second priority will be the enhancement and protection of what makes Campbell River the gem it is; our environment. There are many smaller projects our city could undertake to improve knowledge and accessibility to our trails, rivers, lakes and shorelines. We haven’t done a great job of showcasing to visitors the rich environmental diversity we enjoy. The time to invest in alternative energy is now and Campbell River could be home to new technologies. This could provide clean energy and sustainable jobs while maintaining and preserving our environment.

● COLLEEN EVANS Campbell River has tremendous opportunity for citizens across all generations to share in the benefits of a thriving local economy and longterm prosperity. One of my priorities would be to create a welcoming community that has a positive business climate. T h i s would serve to encourage local businesses to stay here, be successful and create local jobs. It will also provide the foundation to create a more resilient community and diversified economy to attract further investment to our community. We are fortunate to live in a community that strives to support the diverse interests and needs of our citizens. We need to balance priorities with spending that is responsible and accountable. As a Councillor, I will ensure that we develop and evaluate the policies and programs to support this. Working together, I will serve the citizens of Campbell River as an effective and responsive Councillor, using common sense decision making , to represent the best interests of our citizens and achieve the best outcomes for our city overall. ● TODD JONES If elected, my top two priorities would be freezing property taxes and looking for ways to grow Campbell River’s business and industry in an environmentallyresponsible manner. I would work with mayor and council to implement a two-year property tax freeze. During this tax freeze, the city council and its mayor would be tasked with identifying system inefficiencies in order to keep costs down. This will help protect long

term residents who have invested in our community and struggle to live on a fixed income. They can stay in their homes and won’t be forced out from high property taxes. It will also help to make a home a more affordable reality for young families. My other priority, if elected, would be to establish committee that focuses on identifying business and industry ventures that are suited to Campbell River and its residents. The committee will examine the potential for long term growth associated with a given business or industry and its possible impact on our environment. ● RON KERR Coming from a values-based background of keeping taxes low, as your city councillor, my first priority is being vigilant about property taxes and responsible spending. I feel it is important to increase our tax base by encouraging more industry, education and economic development. The revitalization of our downtown and Campbellton areas speaks to this, and works to maintain a good quality of life for us all. This supports my second priority, which is creating safe environments to encourage vibrant growth in our communities. I look forward to continuing my commitments regarding: 1) the use of ‘Housing First’ guiding principles to create permanent low barrier supportive housing for the Homeless; 2) support for a Sobering Assessment Center; 3) ongoing assistance for the Seniors Society center; 4) improving sidewalks and accessibility; 5) neighborhood safety: controlling tagging, invasive species, pick up and removal of needles and rubbish from playgrounds and parks; 6) supporting young families, and creating more spaces for family activities; 7) improving partnerships with other local governments like our First Nations and Regional Districts; 8) continuing ongoing efforts regarding waterfront parks; 9) a vibrant cultural district; 10) creation of a Community Health Network as an organization to bring
together the different organizations needed to create a healthier Campbell River. For more of my views please go to www.ronkerr.ca ● PETER KLOBUCAR If elected my first priority is no property tax increase for four years. My second priority is to replace the ageing water and sewer pipe system and shorten the fire emergency response time to the south side of Campbell River. We need to remodel the No. 2 fire station. A remodeled station could be used for training as well as providing a station for a full time crew. We have to spend money to ensure that our infrastructure is in good working order we do not need to spend money on frills such as artificial turf. We all have a wish list, lets work together to make it come true. ● LES LENGYEL I have many priorities when elected. The top two are: firstly, council

Campbell River
City Council
needs to create a vision for our future. Campbell River is going through major changes since losing the Catalyst pulp mill. Fortunately, we still have resourcebased jobs and the aquaculture industry to provide a stable base. However, we need a plan to attract new business, to attract new residents, to attract more customers for our existing businesses. Once we create this plan, council must act cooperatively in order to project a united and coordinated approach to our future business partners. We have a great opportunity with the numerous projects that are happening in our city. That is why it is so important to have a vision, a plan to work together to achieve our potential.
City council candidates debate the issues My next priority is to determine how we can look after the needs of the citizens of Campbell River. We would like a 3.5 acre waterfront park, a stand alone senior centre, a youth centre, an all-weather soccer field, an improved Campbellton, a connected Seawalk to the Spit, more residents living downtown, property tax relief, help for the homeless, more jobs for our youth. This all needs to be accomplished without any increase in taxes. There are many more needs. This seems like an onerous task but that is why I am looking to be elected to city council. I have the knowledge, experience and desire to work with a new council and find the solutions. ● CLAIRE MOGLOVE 1. Finding new sources of revenue, so that the tax burden for city residents can be stabilized. City residents have weathered a very
3x7
difficult time over the past three years, with tax increases resulting from the closure of the mill. Losing millions of dollars of tax revenue in one year was extremely difficult to manage, but the transition from industrial taxation to residential is complete. We must take advantage of the major construction projects that are happening in our city to leverage new businesses and industrial opportunities. It is these new businesses and industries that will provide not only new sources of tax revenue but also new permanent well-paying jobs. 2. Finding a way to finance and build an artificial turf field. In 2012, the public identified this as their #1 parks priority, by a wide margin. Such a facility is an investment in the future of Campbell River and to our children and youth in particular. The value of organized sport to
children is beyond question and soccer is the number one team sport for children in terms of numbers. Economic benefits of an artificial turf field include hosting tournaments that bring in players and their families who spend money on hotels, restaurants and other goods and services. Hosting sports tournaments is very challenging without an artificial turf field as Campbell River is one of the few remaining cities in B.C. not to have one. We currently have $700,000 set aside for this project. In order to complete the project there are various funding sources to investigate, including outside grants and sponsorships. ● JIM PARNELL Allnon-essential spending must stop. The newly elected council and mayor need to quickly re-evaluate all expenditures. Council must set a direction to
staff that all spending is scrutinized as if it were their own. Government has no money. It is all taxpayer’s cash. I am compelled to insure that it is always being spent in the most efficient and economical way possible. Second, the Homeless Container Housing Unit was needlessly moved away last spring at council’s request. Thankfully it is back in place. This is only a Band-Aid for the winter 2014/15. Campbell River needs to assist our homeless and addicted citizens on an ongoing basis. There must be a permanent facility to assess basic needs and coordinate support to give them the best chance to be helped. There is an even larger need, to provide the working poor and almost homeless a hand up. To avoid the next step- of total dependency. This takes skill, coordination, and adequate resources for our social needs agencies. Local and senior government can really assist here. It is past time to get this working

properly. ● LARRY SAMSON One of my top priorities is to continue and support the economic growth Campbell River is currently experiencing. Campbell River has gone through a transition from our reliance on industrial taxation to a community that is much more diversified. I believe in and envision this diversification of our economic growth will continue to expand into our future. I am really excited about the opportunities and development of the industrial lands that surround our airport, expanding sustainable aquaculture which is so important to our community, community forests which would provide local jobs and secondary wood industries. The mill site now owned by Quicksilver Resources, 1,200 acres and a deep sea port; the potential for development is vast. I strongly believe in

a Community Health Network, an umbrella organization that will bring all the health providers, organizations, volunteers and community partners together to work in collaboration. The mandate will be to create change by identifying local health issues and bringing together the people and resources best able to develop community-based solutions. The Community Health Network will detail the services that are offered and match peoples’ health needs to available solutions. The network will focus in all aspects of health care from the very young to the seniors. I see a bright future for Campbell River, a future that includes sustainable employment and promotes a healthy lifestyle; a community that respects and supports the needs of families, youth and our seniors.

The Campbellton project where residential, industry, commercial and recreational all melt together in cooperation. Link all these pieces together to make downtown living a place for young and old to live, work, play and retire. I believe my second priority is also a sustainable vision of the future for Campbell River.

● ZIGGY STEWART Having served on two councils. I understand how important it is to have a good working relationship between councillors and the mayor. My goal would be to build trust between all on this new council team so each individual could speak freely and know that their thoughts and ideas are important in all council decisions. In a four year term this is vitally important to the taxpayer who we all represent. A predictable tax structure for all is also key to me. Having said that, my second priority would be supporting residential development downtown. I believe for a healthy vibrant downtown you need residents supporting local business; arts and culture. This, of course, adds to our tax base which supports parks and recreation and the public 3.5 acre site. Supporting the new Tyee Plaza and Healthy Way developments add momentum to a changing Down-

being represented very well at all. The second priority should be clear, and that’s definitely looking to the future to find a way to make our current construction boom turn into a long-time win for our community, as of course anyone who has considered the community’s situation will be standing by the need to find some sustainability in the tax base. This should be high on every candidate’s priorities. But if you are looking for a more substantive and specific goal or priority, I’d like to once again bring up how I’d like to take on dealing with the very old sewage system that sits between Hidden Harbor and Second because, not only does it need the upgrade badly, but when we replace it, we have a prime opportunity to finally connect the Rotary Seawalk to downtown.
This is our chance to see it through and leave a beautiful, lasting legacy in our community. I feel strongly that these are the very things our community wants and what it is looking for in the new council.
costs. This cost-saving can protect our services. To serve the public we must manage the revenues and the cost effectively and efficiently. My second priority is to promote the creation of jobs. Campbell River needs more stability in its viable workforce. Investment is required to build the stability for job futures. It is the private sector not the government that creates jobs. Sealand Aviation is an example of a successful company located at the airport with tremendous potential for expansion. This means more jobs. To attract business, our city must be be perceived as business friendly. Establish a vision and follow through. More promotion of Campbell River is needed. The suspension bridge at Elk Falls will be a great attraction. Let’s build a future where young families can make a good liv-

ing in Campbell River. Managing taxes to make efficient use of our tax revenue and expenses will open the door for realistic opportunities. Supporting the development of jobs will add to the sustainability of the City. Plan, Prepare & Execute. The Future is Ours. ● MARCIA MCKAY When elected, my first priority will be to get our financial house in order. We need to reduce taxes immediately by creating a tight budget that maintains service levels but cuts out nonessential expenditures. Of course this needs to be tied to the existing strategic plan, but the new council may also want to put some items on hold, or change priorities. We need to ensure that everyone is on board with the decisions being
made through clear communication of our rationale for making those decisions. My second priority would be to start addressing all those annoying things that are a quick fix, and that affect a lot of people. Let’s get the lights on Dogwood adjusted to current traffic flow. Let’s get the weeds cut down on the SeaWalk and get the gravel off of the bike paths and sidewalks We can start ePermitting as soon as possible. Let’s start working on a new full-service boat ramp. Let’s pull all the service groups together and take advantage of their synergy. Let’s continue working on a permanent Senior’s Centre, and on affordable housing. And let’s address the Rivercorp situation to get it working for us. Let’s institute one-time business licensing. But let’s also enforce the need to have a business license. I believe these efforts will move our City forward.

TED FOSTER – Trustee Candidate The Mirror would like to apologize to School District Trustee candidate Ted Foster for his response to our poll questions not running in Wednesday’s edition due to technological difficulties, did not make it into the publication. 1. What do you feel is the biggest issue that needs to be addressed by the next board of SD72? The next term is four years. The teachers and support staff contracts are settled for the next 5 years. Healing is required. If re-elected I will consult with Trustees to select the “biggest issue,” seek consensus in the community followed by team lobbying / planning towards a specific goal, which is yet to be determined, but will come out of the strategic plan just completed, which will take the district through 2018. The Board sought input from various stakeholders, including parents, educators, students and the community at large for the plan, which narrowed the priorities down to four distinct focuses, namely: Safe, caring and engaging learning environments, personalized learning opportunities; enhanced facilities for learning; strengthen and expand community relations. 2. What do you feel you can bring to the next SD72 board that no one else could bring because of specific experiences or expertise that only you have? I list trades initiatives, seeks opportunities, business background and community service as personal attributes. Very few of us have exclusive “specific experiences or expertise” but may be well qualified to join a team for a common purpose. Boards are democratic with majority votes required. Teamwork! First, find the best people!

With great tenderness we say “Au Revoir� to our beautiful mom, who passed away in Campbell River at the age of 90. Bertha was born and lived in Kapuskasing, Ontario all her life except for the last few years when she moved to Campbell River to be with her children; Gary, Roger and Jo-Anne (Tom). She loved her grandchildren, bowling and cards – especially Bridge. Always willing to lend a helping hand, she also volunteered with Senior’s Clubs. We will miss her unassuming presence and her ever present smile. It is with heartfelt gratitude that we say “Thank You� to her caregivers who were so kindly attentive to her at Yucalta Lodge and everyone at Evergreen Seniors Home.

August 2, 1933 – November 1, 2014 Russ and Evelyn were married for 61 years. From an early age, Evelyn felt the call to Officership. At age 47, the Sutherlands answered God’s calling, gave up their business careers and entered full time service as Envoys with the rank of Auxiliary Captain. They were later commissioned as Captains in 1989, serving the following appointments: Miracle Valley, Mission, BC; Estevan, Saskatchewan; Red Shield Serivce, Comox, BC; Swift Current Corps, Saskatchewan; THQ Property Department; Lloydminister Corps, Alberta; Jackson’s Point, Ontario Conference Centre and Victoria, BC Community and Family Services. The Sutherlands, who have two sons, one daughter, eight grandchildren and four great-grandchildren, thank God for His faithfulness in their lives. Evelyn and Russ have lived in Campbell River for thirteen years. They wish to thank the Doctors and Nurses at Campbell River Hospital who helped Evelyn through her cancer treatments. God bless you. Memorial Service to be held at Ocean Crest Community Church, 291 McLean Street in Campbell River, on November 9 at 2 pm. Private Family Internment to take place on Saturday, November 8.

MOORE, Edward William Blamey It is with great sorrow that we report the passing of our loving father, husband and grandfather, Edward Moore. After a long struggle with heart illness, he died peacefully on Friday, October 31, 2014 in the Campbell River Hospital. Edward was born on May 18, 1925 in St. John’s, Newfoundland, and he lived to be 89 years old. Edward leaves to mourn his wife of 55 years, Stella and their 3 children; son, James (Marianne), Dakota and Tyra; and daughter, Barb Ostler, (Jeff- father of), Angus and Henry; and son, Bob (Chris), Kelsey and Nicole. Also, left to mourn are his brother, John and sister, Cynthia, many nieces and nephews as well as good friends Abel and Millicent Stewart and the Power family. Anyone who knew Ed knew of his quiet, unassuming character. He had many jobs in his life, air traffic controller in Gander, Newfoundland and Campbell River, and finally working at the Pulp Mill in the yard department for 25 years. Ed’s life focus was to provide for his family, making sure he didn’t miss a day’s work unless absolutely necessary. It was his full time job to make sure his family was well cared for, even up to the last days of his life. Ed liked the simple things in life, like planting a garden, reading up on health issues, watching 60 minutes and the Canucks, and going out for a drive or for a walk. He played a lot of golf in his early retirement years, bowled and enjoyed a slow game of bridge. Ed was most proud of his children and grandchildren and how strong and diverse their interests and talents ranged. Ed always worked hard, had a little smirk on his face, and will be dearly missed and fondly remembered. The family is very thankful to Dr. Sutherland and all the nurses and support staff from the second and third floor for their wonderful care and support of Ed during his stay in the hospital. Flowers gratefully declined. Donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or the Blood Donor Clinic. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, November 8 at 2PM at the St. Peter’s Anglican Church in Campbell River with Rev. Blair Haggart. There will be a tea and coffee to follow in the adjoining hall.

Storm hoping to tame Panthers
Peninsula, winless at the time, took down Storm back in October, also have new offensive threat in Looysen The Campbell River Stor m w i l l t r y to rebound from their first home loss of the season when they take on the Peninsula Panthers in a home-and-home series this weekend. If Campbell River needs any extra motivation for tonight’s (Friday) game in Peninsula, they only need to think back to Oct. 17 when the winless Panthers stunned the streaking Storm 3-2 in a David and Goliath upset. According to Storm head coach Lee Stone, Peninsula has shown steady improvement this season and no one is taking them lightly anymore. “They were a 0-13 team and now are 3-3 in their last six games,” he says, “Beating two pretty good teams along the way – us and Comox. This is the time of the year when the weaker teams (like Peninsula) pick up Junior ‘A’ cuts – that creates more parity in the league.” Stone said the Panthers, for example, just picked up Nathan Looysen, who was with the Victoria Grizzlies (BCHL) earlier this year and played with the Kamloops Blazers (WHL) last season. “He’ll probably be their

top offensive threat and a guy we’ll have to pay close attention to.” If the Storm hopes to bounce back from last Friday’s 2-1 home loss to Comox Valley they will need more production from their power play, which was a dismal 0 for 6 against the Glacier Kings. “I’ve told the guys all
year that special teams win hockey games, especially for us,” Stone said. “We’ve scored at least one power play goal in all but two of our games so far this season, and that’s a big reason why we have such a good record. If we got just one last week (against Comox), then it’s a tie game and I like our chances in overtime.”
In an ironic twist the Panthers could be facing their former goaltender this weekend. Will Harvey, who was in net when Peninsula upset the locals last month, has been practising with the Storm after being recently released by the Panthers. “I made no guarantees to him (Harvey), but he
played real well against us and, quite frankly, during the last five or six games we haven’t been real happy with what we’ve had in net,” Stone said. The Storm will be missing utility man Brendan Enns, who begins serving a two game suspension for a hit from behind against Comox

Valley. They will also be without their leading scorer, Colin Blake, who serves the final of his three game suspension on Friday. He’s expected to return to the lineup for the rematch in Campbell River. The opening faceoff for that one is set for 4 p.m. Sunday afternoon at Rod Brind’Amour Arena.

U-15 Boys tops in league despite loss
The U-15 Boys Riptide team went in to last Sunday’s game against Juan de Fuca/Sooke (JDF) feeling quite confident that they could come home with a win. Why not? The team has had a great start to the 20142015 season and they beat JDF 5-0 when the teams met in September. Unfortunately, this weekend, though not due to lack of effort, the Riptide boys could not get the ball to cross the JDF goal line. Riptide Head Coach Bruce Mitchell said his team, “played a great game that was very entertaining to watch. There were long sequences when we played great possession soccer. We attacked from the wings and down the centre. We had lots of corner kicks and we had a couple of great opportunities with free kicks.” “The boys played really well defensively against a motivated opponent,” added Riptide’s assistant coach, Troy Perras. “We did everything but score. Sometimes stuff like this happens and the best thing we can do is to forget about it. The most important thing is how we played as a team. We executed the game plan and consistently dominated play – that’s what we should take away from this game.” The Riptides now have a record of five wins, two losses, and one tie, giving them a total of sixteen points, which puts them in first place in the league – one point ahead of Gorge/Lakefill. The Riptide’s next game is Sunday, Nov. 9, when they host third place Saanich at noon at Valleyview #1 in Comox.

Black Press launches community-oriented crowdfunding site B.C. communities care. So do the Black Press newspapers that directly serve those communities. Reflecting and raising awareness of that caring spirit is part of the core mandate of every Black Press community newspaper. This publication is now part of an exciting new initiative undertaken by Black Press in British Columbia that works to further communicate the good work being done in communities, and provide a new opportunity
for organizations and individuals to tap into that fountain of caring. BlackPress4Good.com is an online platform that brings the popular and successful phenomenon of crowdfunding to Black Press readers. Charitable projects, causes and campaigns are now able to deliver their message on the community level, safely and securely, in an online format to reach the vast digital audience and funding sources. “Crowdfunding pro-
vides a means for individuals, organizations and businesses to raise money by appealing to the public,” explained Andrew Franklin, project lead for Black Press. “This platform is community focused and will be enhanced through the power of your local newspaper. The audience will be very aware of the campaigns and it will be up to the public as to whether they make a donation or not. Early indications show very positive signs. In addi-
tion to the exposure through your community media, the success of the campaigns will also rely on active social media participation.” Black Press has launched this new community service in partnership with FundRazr, the platform at the roots of BlackPress4Good. com. More than 40,000 people and groups around the world have raised in excess of $50 million via FundRazr. Fundraisers register online via the link on
this newspaper’s website home page, provide information about their objectives and fund recipients, and their project profiles are then posted on a dedicated website page to reach out to readers, who can monitor the progress of a specific cause. Supporters make their donations via PayPal, a secure and well-established digital payment system. Under 10 per cent of the total amount raised will be levied by FundRazr, PayPal and Black
Press to recover the administration, support, marketing and hosting costs associated with this initiative. Readers will also have the opportunity to be inspired and touched by the good news content of the Black Press 4Good blog, at blogs.blackpress4good.com/. This site’s content is solely based on the good news stories being reported in Black Press papers across the province. Be introduced to the countless individuals

and organizations who are making their communities better places to live. BlackPress4good. com and facebook.com/ blackpress4good have been created to help channel and enhance that caring spirit. Black Press is Canada’s largest independently owned newspaper company, with more than 150 titles in print and online in British Columbia, Alberta, Washington, Hawaii, California and Ohio.

Anglers getting out on the saltwater are still picking up Chum salmon in certain areas but many are after Springs, Coho and Cod. Fish are being caught using the smaller size Coyote spoons and Tomic plugs. Those setting crab pots are getting their catch limits and the next few months are also good months to set prawn traps. With the heavy rains the Campbell, Oyster, Quinsam and Salmon rivers will be high and muddy, and it will take
a few clear days for the rivers to settle down. Once the river levels stabilize the hunt for Coho will begin. There are some big Springs around in the rivers and they can cause havoc if hooked on a fly. The trout action can be good this time of year and using a basic black fly is fun on a light weight rod. My fly of choice is the Carey Special tied with a green or black body using natural pheasant feathers, hook size can be a 6 or 8 and the

12 to 14 degrees. Local angler Graham Kelly was on the Missouri River in Montana hunting for Rainbow trout. A guided trip runs around 500 dollars but is a good deal as river access is hard to come by. Harry Macdonald fished the Thompson River where the water level was high and only a few fish reported. The Thompson River can be intimidating at times so safety is always a priority.

Literacy is one of the most important skills you have. It’s the skill that allows you to bring in the majority of the information you receive – outside sensory cues – and it’s the skill that enables you to pass the information you have on to others. Kat Eddy, Adult Literacy Outreach Coordinator for the Campbell River Literacy Association (CRLA), is hoping it’s also a skill you’d like to help strengthen in others. The CRLA’s adult literacy program is, according to Eddy, for people 19 and older to help them “achieve their own personal literacy goals, whether that be going back to school and upgrading, or maybe they just want more lit-
eracy skills to be able to read to their grandchildren, whatever their personal learning plan is, we’re here to support them in that.” Last year there were over 1700 volunteer hours put in by tutors in the adult literacy program, according to Eddy, but this year, they’re struggling to find enough volunteers to keep up with their growing need. “We’ve got 55 learners right now, and it’s only the end of October,” Eddy says. “Last year we had 55 adult learners for the entire year.” The volunteer tutor training is four sessions of 2.5 hours each, where potential tutors discuss reading-skill-acquisition, roles and responsibilities of tutors, setting boundaries, understanding learning barriers of adult learners, and

develop other skills to add to the tutor’s toolkit to help them succeed. It’s all volunteer, of course, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t benefits. “It’s really cool to see
somebody learn how to read, and to be a part of that. Like, what a really amazing and rewarding experience,” says Eddy. There’s also the fulfillment of doing something
good within your community, and engaging positively with others who share your passion for learning. “We find that people who come back as adult
learners typically have had negative experiences with the education system,” Eddy said, “and so there are some significant barriers for them to overcome. Just walking into an education building can be very overwhelming for them, so it’s really great to see the person who has gotten past whatever fears they have about education, and whatever shame they have around literacy, and they walk through our doors and they say, ‘help me,’ and it happens really quickly once they’ve engaged, it’s just a matter of them getting to the point where they can get here.” Aside from going through the tutor training, the only requirements to be a literacy volunteer tutor are a clean criminal record check, the ability to provide two personal refer-

f the direction of development on the B.C. central and north coast is going to be turned around, it’s going to be done by people of all sectors in society coming together. “That’s where hope lies,” said environmental activist and photographer Ian McAllister.

erally – to the title of Great Bear Rainforest is the other ursine resident, the powerful grizzly bear which is also abundant on this coast. The region is rich in biodiversity which is, in fact, increasing in recent years. Species once abundant prior to European settlement but which were hunted and fished, sometimes to nearextinction, are now rebounding. McAllister’s explanation for that rebound might seem surprising and it also explains the motivation to fight the increase in shipping on the coast in order to service the resource extraction industry.

A symbol of the region is the iconic Kermode bear or Spirit Bear, as it has become popularly known because of its white coat. The bear is a white phase of the common black bear but one which engenders a strong emotional response in modern coastal residents as well as those who lived in traditional First Nations cultures.

The culmination of that work has resulted in the publication of a new hardcover book called Great Bear Wild; Dispatches from a Northern Rainforest. McAllister will be in Campbell River Nov. 19 to talk about the book and the effort to protect the central and northern coast from oil and LNG tanker traffic.

might be using the B.C. coast as an acoustic refuge,” McAllister said. But that refuge may soon be under siege. “We are witnessing probably the single largest increase in shipping traffic in anywhere in the world,” McAllister said. If you put all of the proposals to ship energy from the B.C. coast on the table, you would be looking at 3,000 tanker trips a year, he said. Not all of the proposals would go through but any of them would increase shipping traffic. An oil spill is in many ways, a hypothetical threat. A devastating spill could happen but it might not. But the one thing that is certain, McAllister said, is that increased tanker traffic will increase noise pollution. Getting the word out about the threat that noise pollution poses is only just gaining steam. It’s not the same kind of call to action that oil spills can generate. People can envision the devastation an oil spill can cause but acoustic
pollution could prove to be hard to get people to take seriously, McAllister acknowledges. “The challenge is to educate people about that and inspire them to want do something about it,” he said. Acoustic pollution is an issue that the shipping industry worldwide is aware of, he said. “But here on the coast of B.C., we just haven’t seen shipping traffic to the extent that it is seen elsewhere,” he said. There is some discussion in the southern coast of B.C. about acoustic pollution because of the effect the whale watching industry has on killer whale populations. Campbell Riverites can learn more about the beautiful Great Bear Rainforest and the threat posed by increased shipping at 7:30 p.m. at the Tidemark Theatre Nov. 19. McAllister will share his work in a multimedia exploration of the Great Bear Rainforest, including a Q&A and book signing following the presentation.

of tanker traffic on the B.C. coast is on oil spills. Most of the discussion is on mitigating and responding to oil spills on the coast but that’s not the biggest problem, according to McAllister. “There’s virtually no discussion or debate about the acoustic pollution these ships would cause,” he said. We’re seeing a great resurgence of life in the region with many species of whales rebounding in numbers as well as porpoises and many other aquatic species. What’s causing that? “That’s the million dollar question and I think it’s on the minds of people who are witnessing this (rebound) firsthand,” McAllister said. A combination of factors are maintaining ocean productivity in the region – the supply of food for these larger aquatic species like fish, whales and seals and sea lions. But it’s more than just the food supply that is bringing larger species back, McAllister said.
“The central and northern coast is relatively free of shipping traffic,” he said. “We have been witnessing an exponential increase in shipping traffic throughout the world.” That increase in traffic is displacing aquatic species who are very sensitive to the noise pollution shipping causes. “Acoustic pollution or masking from shipping traffic is causing significant concern for whale researchers throughout the world’s oceans,” McAllister writes in Great Bear Wild. “At the same time that we are beginning to understand the importance of the acoustic environment for cetaceans, we are witnessing a doubling of the world’s shipping fleets – and the underwater noise that they produce – every decade.” And those species may be seeking sanctuary in one area in the world where acoustic pollution is relatively non-existent – the central and northern coast of B.C. “They very much

REMEMBERING... In a world gone mad, London was burning. It trembled and reeled under the thousands of bombs being dropped nightly from enemy planes. Despite the horror, life went on.
I was a WAC in the British Army assigned to the clerical unit along with 129 other girls waiting for overseas service. The year was 1943. After months of waiting, the convoy had at last assembled. We boarded our troop train and arrived in wet Scottish weather to join our ship. There were 1200 young RAF pilots and their air crews on board with us. Twenty-four hours later, at midnight, our ship shuddered into life as the engines started, and we slid away in total darkness to an unknown destination. There was a heady, tingling feeling of destiny. Our convoy stretched to infinity. Twice we were severely attacked by German bombers and a number of our ships were lost with almost total loss of life. Escorting destroyers rushed to pick up survivors. RAF fighter planes rushed to our defence and an air battle raged. Ankle deep in water at our boat stations, we watched in grim horror as two German planes spiralled down in flames and one of ours dropped like a wounded bird from the sky, the gates of death had opened wide.
After our hair-raising convoy through the Mediterranean, the officers and men of one of the escorting Corvettes invited 12 of our unit for a buffet supper. For our visit, the ship’s guns were covered in bunting. There was a true sense of camaraderie. A feeling of - we are young and we have survived. Let’s celebrate this glorious feeling of being alive. Let’s laugh. The moon was a silver orb in the sky. The heat of the day had given way to a sensuous breeze that barely rippled the water. Our three hours aboard sped away with the speed and brilliance of a shooting star. As we pulled away in our motorboat to board our troopship, we spontaneously, in unison, began to sing,
We’ll meet again, Don’t know where, Don’t know when, But I know we’ll meet again Some sunny day.

I can again feel the wanting that awakened between young men and women in the rarefied environment of wartime and no tomorrows. My clerical unit arrived in Nairobi, Kenya. Alas, the Corvette became a casualty of war. Within the reality of the horror of war there are special moments snatched and experienced to the full within the urgency of no tomorrows. The adventure of passion can be played to the hilt between two unique young people in uniform within the gratitude and romance of still being alive. As I open my diary, I turn to June 6, 1944 and I read. The greatest excitement in the office. We have invaded the Normandy coast. A special phone call - “we must spend this day of days
together.” And we had dinner together, we mourned the brave lives being lost and we felt the horror of the beaches and reality at the cruelty of war that kills without compassion. There was a fearful feeling of something wonderful happening. And we knew it was the beginning of the end. The poignant memories of courage and endurance of young men and the unbelievable camaraderie shared only by those who have fought a war is a special thing - a humbling thing. They died on the beaches. They gave up their years of work and joy. They gave up those that would have been sons and daughters. They gave up the serenity of age. They died. But they will always be remembered.

John Campbell Peacey “Annie Peacey had just settled into her log cabin on the beach when she gave birth to John Campbell Peacey in what is now downtown Campbell River, November 1892. John went on to become a much-decorated World War I hero. A few years after he returned from overseas, he died of injuries he had sustained when hurling an enemy bomb from the trenches.” River City: A History of Campbell River and the Discovery Islands -Jeanette Taylor, 1999. John Peacey Sr., was born in
Yorkshire, England in 1853, one of at least eight children of Levi and Rebecca Peacey. Sometime before 1871 the family emigrated to Ontario. They were enumerated in C1871 in Hamilton Twp., Northumberland Cty., and in C1881 in
Hope, Durham East, Ontario. In that year, Levi was a farm labourer, John was a tanner. While John’s parents and some siblings remained in Ontario, John moved to BC before 1889. Levi and Rebecca Peacey died in Ontario in 1904 and 1905 respectively. John’s mother was Anne Marie Wilcox, born about 1867 in BC, the daughter of James Wilcox and Jane Hill. She had six siblings. In 1859, her father was the proprietor of the Royal Hotel on Wharf Street in Victoria. James Sr. was a native of Australia. After James died in 1874, Annie’s mother, Jane, married again in 1879 to Edward Rollings. Jane and Edward and various of her children lived in the Comox Valley. Edward died in 1898; Jane died in 1905. John Peacey and Anne Marie Wilcox were married in Victoria in 1889. According to information

in River City, “the Peacey family bought a ranch in what is now downtown Campbell River, from E.B. Hill in 1892. After six years of struggling against cougars, bears and isolation, John Peacey decided the Yukon gold rush was a better gamble. He went north, leaving Annie and the children with her family in Comox.” John and Annie had seven children. Annie died in Victoria in 1929; John Sr in Vancouver in 1936. John Campbell Peacey was 22 when he attested to the Canadian Expeditionary Force on 23 September 1914 in Valcartier, Quebec. He listed his father as next-of-kin. His attestation papers show he was assigned to the 9th Battalion; he was later transferred to the 5th Battalion. In 1916 he was awarded the Military Medal.

April 24th during the heavy German bombardment when a trench mortar bomb fell in the trench, smashing the firestep, l/Cpl Peacey immediately picked up the bomb and hurled it over the parapet, where it burst before reaching the ground. By his act he undoubtedly saved his gun, also the lives of the gun crew and several men of the company in that trench.” The following year he received the Croix de Guerre from the French government . John married Nellie Church in England in 1916, while he was recovering. They later returned to Canada. He died of pneumonia in Vancouver on 31 December 1924, aged 32. The injuries he sustained in WWI (including shell shock) hastened his early demise. He is buried in Mountain View Cemetery in Vancouver.

10 Quick Facts on... Remembrance Day Remembrance Day was first observed in 1919 throughout the British Commonwealth. It was originally called “Armistice Day” to commemorate armistice agreement that ended the First World War on Monday, November 11, 1918, at 11 a.m.—on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. From 1921 to 1930, Armistice Day was held on the Monday of the week in which November 11 fell. In 1931, Alan Neill, Member of Parliament for Comox–Alberni, introduced a bill to observe Armistice Day only on November 11. Passed by the House of Commons, the bill also changed the name to “Remembrance Day”. The first Remembrance Day was observed on November 11, 1931. Every year on November 11, Canadians pause in a moment of silence to honour and remember the men and women who have served, and continue to serve Canada during times of war, conflict and peace. We remember the more than 1,500,000 Canadians who have served throughout our nation’s history and the more than 118,000 who made the ultimate sacrifice. The poppy is the symbol of Remembrance Day. Replica poppies are sold by the Royal Canadian Legion to provide assistance to Veterans. Remembrance Day is a federal statutory holiday in Canada. It is also a statutory holiday in three territories (Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut) and in six provinces (British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador). The national ceremony is held at the National War Memorial in Ottawa. The Governor General of Canada presides over the ceremony. It is also attended by the Prime Minister, other government officials, representatives of Veterans’ organizations, diplomatic representatives, other dignitaries, Veterans as well as the general public. In advance of the ceremony, long columns of Veterans, Canadian Armed Forces members, RCMP officers, and cadets march to the memorial lead by a pipe band and a colour guard. At the end of the ceremony, they march away to officially close the ceremony. Some of the 54 Commonwealth member states, such as Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia, observe the tradition of Remembrance Day on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. Other nations observe a solemn day but at different dates. For example, ANZAC Day is observed in New Zealand on April 25. In South Africa, Poppy Day is marked on the Sunday that falls closest to November 11. Many nations that are not members of the Commonwealth also observe Remembrance Day on November 11, including France, Belgium and Poland. The United States used to commemorate Armistice Day on November 11. However, in 1954 they changed the name to Veterans Day.

Canada's Veterans, Brave and Proud
Each year, from November 5 to 11, hundreds of commemorative ceremonies and events will take place across the country to commemorate Veterans' week. These are opportunities for all Canadians to recognize the contribution our Veterans have made and to honour those who made the ultimate sacrifice on behalf of Canada. There are so many ways to remember and honour our Veterans: • Wear a poppy. • Attend your local Remembrance Day ceremony on November 11th. • Thank a Veteran by sending a postcard for peace. • Teachers - order some of our free learning materials and use our Teacher's Guide to lead your classroom on a remembrance journey. • Students - read one of our remembrance newspapers written just for K-2, K-Grade 6 and for Grade 7 and above. • Talk to a friend or relative who served with the Canadian Armed Forces in Afghanistan or in other areas of conflict.
IN MEMORY OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS WHO SERVED IN WW1 AND WW2
• View our Heroes Remember videos and listen to Veterans talk about their experiences. • Plant your own Garden of Remembrance. • Visit the remembrance challenge page where you will find videos and images you can use to create a mashup, build a virtual scrapbook, a fan site or just decorate your own Web space.

Remembrance day is very poignant for our family. Not only did both of my grandparents enlist and serve, but several uncles did as well. Despite the fact that two uncles spent much of the war as POWs, both in Germany and Japan, we were very fortunate that all of our family members returned home after the war. Relatively in one piece but with emotional scars which meant many of their stories were kept from us until long after we were adults. My grandparents Elmer and Jean served together in service, and as partners in life. After my grandfather’s unexpected death in 2001, the cemetery in Brooks Alberta skipped a grave section in the military area, so that when my grandmother died in 2009 she was able to be interred alongside her husband.

Give pause on Remembrance Day Throughout history, millions of soldiers have marched into wars to protect the freedoms of their countries. Remembrance Day is a solemn time to commemorate those soldiers’ achievements and sacrifices and to pay respects to soldiers who died in battle. In the United States, people honour their present and past military on Veterans’ Day. In British commonwealth countries and territories, including Canada, November 11 is known as Remembrance Day. Since the end of World War I, memorials to remember those of the armed forces who fought in battle and perished in the line of duty have been dedicated on this day.
Armistice Day origins Remembrance Day was once known as Armistice Day because it marks the signing of the armistice that put an end to the hostilities of World War I. On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of the year, guns fell silent after more than four years of continuous warfare between the Germans and Allied troops. The armistice agreement was signed in a French train carriage at 11 a.m. Later, the carriage where the historic event took place was placed in a specially constructed building to serve as a monument to the defeat of Germany. Although it was moved by German forces and later destroyed during World War II, after that war ended a replacement carriage, correct in every detail, was rededicated on Armistice Day in 1950.
Remembrance Day evolution Armistice Day was renamed Remembrance Day after World War II to commemorate soldiers from both world wars. It is now used as a way to pay homage to any fallen soldier. Each year a national ceremony takes place at the Cenotaph in Whitehall, London, a monument erected as a memorial to soldiers buried elsewhere. The Queen will lay the first wreath at

the Cenotaph, while others will leave wreaths and small wooden crosses. In Canada, Remembrance Day is a statutory holiday in many provinces and territories. Official national ceremonies are held at the National War Memorial in Ottawa. Events begin with the tolling of the Carillon in the Peace Tower, during which members of the Canadian Forces participate and congregate at Confederation Square. Similar ceremonies take place in provincial capitals across the country. Very often moments of silence are offered for lost lives.
What about the poppies? One of the unifying symbols of Remembrance Day is the poppy that is worn to honour lost soldiers. The bold, red color of the flower has become an enduring symbol of those who died so that others may be free. The poppy became a symbol for a specific reason. Some of the most concentrated and bloody fighting of World War I took place in Flanders, a region in western Belgium. As a result of the fighting, most signs of natural life had been obliterated from the region, leaving behind mud and not much else. The only living thing to survive was the

poppy flower, which bloomed with the coming of the warm weather the year after fighting in the region had ceased. Poppies grow in disturbed soil and can lie dormant in the ground without germinating. Without the war, they may have never come to the surface. John McCrae, a doctor serving with the Canadian Armed Forces, was moved by the vision of poppies flowering in Flanders and wrote a poem titled “In Flanders Fields.” After the poem was published, it received international
acclaim, and the poppy became a popular symbol of those lost in battle. Men traditionally wear the poppy on the left side of the chest, where a military medal would be placed. Women wear it on the right side because that is where a widow would wear her husband’s medals. Remembrance Day is celebrated every year, providing people humbled by the sacrifices of soldiers an opportunity to remember those soldiers’ efforts to secure freedom.

The Campbell River Genealogy Society Honours past Veterans
The first project involved researching the soldiers listed on the cenotaph who died in the First and Second World Wars. Helen Russell who has since moved to Galiano Island worked tirelessly to compile the information on our WWI soldiers into a colourful, laminated booklet which is available for viewing at the CRGS Library in the Maritime Heritage Centre. One soldier listed on our cenotaph remains elusive. No information has yet been found on First World War soldier, George Gardiner. With helpful information supplied by the CRGS, the Campbell River Museum is currently displaying a special exhibit of fallen soldiers from the North Island. The exhibit runs until November 16th.
flags for the cause. In researching this project, Genealogy Society members searched through old newspapers, checked online databases and interviewed local residents. This project commenced last year and will be continued this year. If you happen to visit either of the two Campbell River cemeteries in November, you should feel a great sense of pride. Over two hundred red and white flags will be waving in the breeze to honour those who served for our great country. Since we are commemorating the one hundredth anniversary of the First World War, a special placard will be placed on the graves of many of our First World War soldiers along with a photo and personal information, if available. Under the direction of Janice Wilkin, many CRGS volunteers have come together to assist with the research of deceased veterans and also with the placing of the photos and flags on gravesites.
The second CRGS project involves placing flags on the graves of over two hundred local veterans. MP John Duncan kindly donated two hundred

Our very precious Freedom and openly trusting society has been violated, blood being spilled here on “Home Turf”!

Please wear a poppy by Don Crawford, 1960s “Please wear a poppy," the lady said And held one forth, but I shook my head. Then I stopped and watched as she offered them there, Her face was old and lined with care; But beneath the scars the years had made There remained a smile that refused to fade. A boy came whistling down the street, Bouncing along on care-free feet. His smile was full of joy and fun, "Lady," said he, "may I have one?" When she'd pinned it on he turned to say, "Why do we wear a poppy today?" The lady smiled in her wistful way And answered, "This is Remembrance Day, And the poppy there is the symbol for The gallant men who died in war. And because they did, you and I are free That's why we wear a poppy, you see." "I had a boy about your size, With golden hair and big blue eyes. He loved to play and jump and shout, Free as a bird he would race about. As the years went by he learned and grew and became a man - as you will, too." "He was fine and strong, with a boyish smile, But he'd seemed with us such a little while When war broke out and he went away. I still remember his face that day When he smiled at me and said, Goodbye, I'll be back soon, Mom, so please don't cry." "But the war went on and he had to stay, And all I could do was wait and pray. His letters told of the awful fight, (I can see it still in my dreams at night), With the tanks and guns and cruel barbed wire, And the mines and bullets, the bombs and fire." "Till at last, at last, the war was won And that's why we wear a poppy son." The small boy turned as if to go, Then said, "Thanks, lady, I'm glad to know. That sure did sound like an awful fight, But your son - did he come back all right?" A tear rolled down each faded check; She shook her head, but didn't speak. I slunk away in a sort of shame, And if you were me you'd have done the same; For our thanks, in giving, if oft delayed, Though our freedom was bought - and thousands paid! And so when we see a poppy worn, Let us reflect on the burden borne, By those who gave their very all When asked to answer their country's call That we at home in peace might live. Then wear a poppy! Remember - and give!

Edward Michael Dolan 1898-1949 WORLD WAR 1 One day in 1917 at the age of 18 years, 4 months and at the height of 5 feet, 4 inches, he and six friends, walking home from school, apparently dared each other to go to the recruiting depot to sign up for the War. Dad and two of his friends were accepted into the army and went overseas to France. Dad served with the Artillery and the Signal Corps in the 72nd (Queen’s) Battery, C. F. A., C. E. F. He enlisted in the 72nd Battery, Canadian Field Artillery on February 21,1917 in Kingston, Ontario. They sailed to England on April 29, 1917 on the S. S. Ansonia, a troop ship. He was later shipped to France and posted to the 4th Canadian Division, 3rd Brigade, lOth Field Battery. The records list him as a Gunner but there is also reference to him being a Wireless Operator. WORLD WAR II Dad enrolled in the R. C. C. S. from September 1939 and again on May, 1940. Later, he reenrolled (June 8, 1943-June22, 1945) when he served as an instructor in the Artillery Signals Branch at bases in Newmarket and Barriefield. While stationed at Camp Pettawawa he qualified as a Driver. He was awarded the Canadian Volunteer Service Medal and the Canada War Medal (1939-1945).

Alex DeCoteau is my great uncle on my fathers side of the family, The Latta’s. Alex was born in 1887 at the Red Pheasant reserve near Battleford Saskatchewan. He excelled in running and soccer. He eventually moved to Edmonton to work in his brother in laws machine shop. His brother in law was my great grandfather D.G. Latta. In 1911 Alex joined the Edmonton Police Department. He was the first Aboriginal to serve on the force. And also one of that cities first motorcycle policemen. As i mentioned before, he excelled at running. He tried out for the Olympic team in 1912 and made the cut. He participated in the games in Stockholm and placed 2nd in the 5000 meter and 6th overall in the finals. In 1916 Alex resigned from the police force and joined the Canadian Army. He was a private in the 202 battalion, known as”the Edmonton sportsman’s battalion” and later transferred to the 49th Edmonton Regiment. He was shipped over seas to fight in the great war. He was killed in action, by a snipers bullet, on October 30, 1917 at the Battle of Passchendaele ridge. He is buried at Flanders Field Ypres, Belgium. Legend has it that the sniper that killed him, took a pocket watch that King George V had presented to Alex as a prize for a race he won. The watch was later recovered from the body of the sniper, by Alex’s comrades, and sent back home to his mother. Alex was elected to the Edmonton City Police Hall Of Fame and also inducted into The Alberta Sports Hall of Fame and The Saskatchewan First Nations Sports Hall of Fame. Alex won many trophies and medals which some are on display at these places. I am proud to say that I am related Alex DeCoteau, great sportsman, police officer and soldier.
