The new Trustees for School District 72 (SD72) will soon be sworn in, and new and returning members
of the board alike are geared up and ready to get to work. “I am looking forward to working with the other elected trustees to build a cohesive team,” said Richard Franklin, who will sit as Trustee for
the first time after running unsuccessfully in the past. His first goal, he said, after building that cohesion, will be making and monitoring the progress of the organization’s goals going forward.

City councillors put their differences aside Tuesday night to wish each other well and reflect on the last three years. It was time to say goodbye as Tuesday’s council meeting marked the end of an era of sorts. It was the last council meeting for councillors Mary Storry and Ryan Mennie, who both chose not to run for re-election, and Coun. Claire Moglove and Mayor Walter Jakeway, who ran but were not returned to council. Moglove, who has spent the last six years on city council, said she was thankful for her time in elected office and said she was confident she’s leaving the city in good hands. “It’s been a true honour to have served on city council for the last two terms,” said Moglove, while wishing current council and incoming council all the best. “I want to note that I think the city is in very capable hands with my colleague on the right here assuming the role of mayor.” Councillor and mayor-elect Andy

More vote for council than for mayor A total of 109 ballots were rejected in the municipal election, just one per cent of the ballots cast. Ballots were spoiled if an elector voted for too many mayor, councillor, or school trustee candidates than the maximum number allowed.
Electors were allowed to vote for one mayoral candidate, six councillors, and five trustees. Tracy Bate, the city’s deputy city clerk, confirmed that if ballots were spoiled the city’s automated voting machine automatically spit out any voting cards where someone over voted. Bate said all 109 people who did spoil a ballot were given a replacement voting card. In a separate category,
a ballot was considered rejected if a voter left a section blank – something which is allowed. Because the city treated the voting card as three separate ballots (one for mayor, one for councillors and one for school trustees), if one section was left blank, only that section was rejected, and the sections that were filled out still counted. Voters were also allowed to vote for as few candidates as they
wanted. If, for example, someone voted for only four council candidates, instead of the maximum number of six, those four candidate votes would still be counted. Ballots were only considered rejected if someone completely blanked out a section. In the case of the councillor candidates, 56 ballots were left blank while in the section for mayor, 91 ballots were left unfilled.
Council: Goodbyes said, tributes paid Continued from Pg. 1
Adams thanked Moglove for all of her efforts, particularly the work she put in on the regional hospital board. “To Coun. Moglove, your due diligence, your dedication and your hard work is to be commended and your legacy will be the hospital projects that you successfully facilitated and we’re seeing come to fruition,” said Adams who also thanked Mennie for representing young families at the council table the last six years, and Storry for her nine years of service. “To Coun. Storry, we’ve been sitting in these halls for nine years and you have always been gracious, professional and just a very great person to be around and you’re going to be missed very much
and I’m proud to call you my friend.” Adams also thanked outgoing mayor Jakeway. “Your Worship, I want to thank you for the past three years and wish all the best to you and Eunice (Jakeway’s wife) moving forward,” he said. Jakeway returned the sentiment, and thanked council for all of its efforts the past three years. “The city looks a lot different than it did three years ago, whether we had much effect on it or not but certainly it’s changed and it’s heading off into a brighter future,” Jakeway said. “For me it was an adventure and I’m on to new adventures. I’ve got other things planned.” Those plans include getting his level C
welder’s certificate as well as travelling. Coun. Ron Kerr, who will be returning to city council, thanked all the outgoing council members for their contributions. “It’s been a pleasure to work with you over the last three years and good luck to you all in your future endeavours,” Kerr said. “I want to acknowledge all the work you’ve done for our community during that time.”
✓CORNFIELD 2x2.5
A total of 9,252 people cast a vote for at least one councillor candidate while 9,217 voted for mayor, which means slightly more people cast a vote for the councillors than they did for mayor. In total, the city had 15,508 ballots printed but 6,068 of those went unused. Voter turnout for the Nov. 15 election was 38.5, or 39 per cent, with 9,308 votes cast out of 24,167 eligible voters.

how a board can work effectively, and the ability to work with others to further the goals that will be determined by the Board.” In terms of accountability and measuring progress, Kerr said that “with the millions of dollars that go into our system, there must be accountability. One of our former superintendents was fond of saying, ‘What gets measured gets done,’” he said, and he agrees with that assertion. Returning for his third term as trustee, Ted Foster feels one key priority should be in healing the tension remaining between the teachers and administrators since the work stoppage earlier
this year. “Facilitating the healing process and moving forward is our first priority,” he said, followed by the implementation of the new Strategic Plan, which the last board put forward in September, which, he said, prioritizes, “safe,caring and engaging learning environments, personalized learning opportunities, enhanced facilities for learning, and strengthening and expanding community relations.” Susan Wilson, the acclaimed trustee from the Quadra Region, is returning for her second term on the board, and said she’s looking forward to putting her experience as a front-line educator to use, feeling
she has a broader perspective of district needs and resources after serving a term on the board. “I welcome community input and will continue to advocate for personalized learning opportunities that best meet student needs and community values,” she said, adding that having lived on Quadra Island for 30 years, she brings “an understanding of the particular strengths, diversities and challenges of these (outer) island communities,” which she will bring to the board. The full board is not yet set, however. The Sayward Valley is still reporting a tie vote between incumbent trustee Barbara Bow-
brick and challenger Gail Kirshner, with a judicial recount to be scheduled as soon as possible. “We will have two or more (depending on the yet to be determined result of the Sayward Valley vote) new trustees and will be minus our former chair, Michele Babchuk (who ran for and won a seat on city council),” said Foster, “which means the new Board will be shoulders to the wheel for the balance of this school year.” The first meeting of the new Board of Education will be Dec. 2 at 7 p.m. at the SD72 office on Pinecrest, where trustees will elect a chair and vice-chair, who will serve in those positions for the next year.

Cyberbullying still on minds of some MIKE DAVIES CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Rod Chant, a family counsellor at Strathcona Counselling has some terrible statistics to share. He tried to share them – as well as some bits of advice for parents – at the Robron Centre on Tuesday evening, as part of National Bullying Awareness Week, but was instead met with an empty room and one lowly Campbell River Mirror reporter. He plans to try his presentation again in the near future, and is hoping for a better turnout, as there’s an important issue that he feels gets lost in the debate surrounding children and the online world – that being parental responsibility. According to Mediasmarts, the not-forprofit charity who bills itself as Canada’s centre for digital and media literacy, 88 per cent of kids report having seen “meanness” in their everyday usage of the Internet, which they use on average for 11.5 hours per week, “and I would
say that’s a conservative estimate,” Chant said. The same source says that one in four teens report having been victims of cyberbullying, and one in six admitted to having cyberbullied someone else online. Chant feels the most important and positive way that we, as a society, can address this issue, is by encouraging positivity in our children and encouraging them to engage in open and honest conversation with the authority figures in their lives – most importantly their parents. “It’s about taking the time to listen to your kids, and making sure they feel supported and validated by coming to someone when they’re concerned about something,” he said. He said that too many parents “should” on their kids too often, meaning they lecture them or assess blame using “you should have,” type statements, which doesn’t encourage productive conversation. It comes down to openness and honesty, and encouraging those
behaviours in your children early on, he said. Part of that openness is fostered by parents “leading by example,” he said. “I don’t know how many times I’ve seen parents at the park with their kids,” he said, “and they’re on their phone while the kid is trying to get them to play with them.” That type of behaviour from parents not only encourages their kids to immerse themselves in the online world rather than engage positively with those around them, but also discourages them from coming to their parents when something is bothering them, he said, because they will turn back to online support instead, as that’s where they will feel most accepted. “It’s about instilling within children the ability to make good, positive choices early on in life,” he said, “and developing within them an understanding that you’re also there to support them when they make ones that maybe aren’t so good.”
It’s about openness, support and encouragement, Chant said, rather than discipline and blame. This will help ensure that when problems arise in their lives – online or off – they will come to you to talk about it before it gets too far out of hand, possibly ending tragically, as it does for far too many families these days. Watch your social media stream for the upcoming discussion Chant will be putting on, as there will be plenty of opportunity, he said, for people to talk about struggles and challenges they’ve had with monitoring their children’s online presence and suggestions to be shared to mitigate some of the communication difficulties that parents often have with their kids, especially in regards to technology and parental oversight of its use. You can also contact Chant directly for more information by calling his office at 250286-0820 or by email at chant@strathconacounselling.ca

Our View
Job’s not over now that the votes have been cast Now that the final votes have been cast, tallied and announced, it’s time for municipalities and rural areas across the province to get back to business. The 2014 civic election in B.C. has come and gone and communities can We say: Voters finally put all the campaign drama need to stay behind them. Councils and other elected bodies involved, paying can set their sights on doing what attention to issues they where elected to do — run their respective areas and serve their citizens. That’s a concept often lost on new politicians. The people voted them into office so they can best serve the
needs of the community, a feat that isn’t always easy. Despite the best intentions of many new politicians, changing the world — or at least their tiny part of it — doesn’t happen overnight. All those bold promises of change and improvement will take time. There is a political process that has to be followed and it’s time for the newcomers to go to school. For those newbies, there will be a steep learning curve in the coming months. Hopefully more experienced, returning politicians will share their experiences to allow the newcomers to more quickly acclimatize themselves to their new responsibilities and the process, rules and regulations that have to be followed.
The political realm is a slow moving machine and once the hype of an election dies down, the process will begin to plod along. Still, the coming of new people always brings new hope. Candidates, turned politicians, have the opportunity to change the system, one slow bit at a time. Let’s hope they succeed in reinvigorating the process as they adjust to their new roles. As for the public that voted in the new governments, their job isn’t over yet either. Voting was just the first step. Now it’s their job to keep informed, keep watching and hold their politicians accountable. – Black Press
Knights’ Christmas hamper depot now open at the Tyee Plaza
The depot for the 41st edition of the Community Christmas Hamper Fund organized by the Knights of Columbus is situated in the Tyee Plaza between the former SuperValu store and Banners Restaurant. Starting on Wednesday until Saturday, Nov. 29, the depot will be open from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Monday to Saturday. Commencing December 1st until delivery day on December 20th, the depot will be open from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. Monday to Saturday. The phone number at the depot is 250286-6361. Donations of non-perishable food, toys and money may be given at any time on the above listed dates when the depot is open. As has always been the case, these donations are absolutely essential to the success of the effort. Income tax receipts for monetary donations will be issued in January 2015. The Christmas Hamper effort relies heavily on the generosity and support of the entire community from start to finish. There will once again be a need for volunteers to build and deliver the hampers on Dec. 20. Those who have helped in the past know that it is a deeply rewarding experience. The application forms for the hampers are available only at the Campbell River Employment & Income Assistance Office 833A 14th Ave. The deadline for completion of an application is Tuesday, Dec. 9.
Mike tries to get the last word in on the election I’m not the political reporter for this paper. That would be Kristen Douglas, and she does an excellent job keeping this community informed of what’s going on not only at City Hall, but also at the Regional District Office and in the world of elected officials in general. I will, however, get my last word in on what just happened in the municipal election before turning that beat back over to her, since I have this space Mike Davies available to me on a weekly basis to give Mike’s Musings my thoughts, and it’s kind of the most On Twitter: important thing that’s happened to us as @PaperguyDavies a community over the past seven days. miked@campbellrivermirror.com First, I’d like to thank everyone who came out to vote. The 39 per cent (rounded up) of you
that were eligible to vote and actually did so braved the frigid temperatures (I think it got all the way down to almost freezing one of the three days you could cast a ballot) and the possible 20-minute lineups at the polling station last saturday to engage in your civic responsibility. I hope it sounds like I’m being facetious, because I kind of am. I’m still disappointed in the 61 per cent of you who couldn’t be bothered, but in another way, I’m proud of the community in general in regards to their engagement in what is probably the most important aspect of their lives. Around 30 per cent more people voted this time than three years ago, and we brought our numbers up above the provincial average from well below it the last
time around. What the reasons are for that increase is anyone’s guess, really, but I’d like to think it was because people were better informed than usual as to what the candidates who put their names forward stood for and their thoughts on various community issues, and that the Mirror had something to do with that. (Don’t throw your shoulder out patting yourself on the back there, Davies.) (Shut up, you, I’m not done.) We got excellent feedback on our coverage of the lead-up to the election, our social media presence stepped up and was noticed by a non-traditionally-politically-engaged demographic, and our partnership with the Young Professionals of Campbell River in their attempts
to reach a typically underrepresented group in political campaigns got a positive response, as well. I personally tried to encourage people to vote by launching a campaign to donate one dollar to the local Food Bank per percentage point of eligible voters who cast a ballot, and was matched by three others. I was hoping for more people to jump on board, but every little bit helps, and maybe it convinced a few more people to go vote, too. In any case, I’m happy for the people who the community chose to represent their interests over the next four years, because I truly believe they all have the community’s best interest at heart, and I sincerely hope the new mayor and

Council rejects staff’s objection to Hyundai sign

Campbell River’s new Hyundai dealership agents were back before council Tuesday as city staff were recommending for a second time that council deny design plans. This time around, staff didn’t agree with the size of the dealership’s new sign. Chris Osborne, city planner, said the pylon sign the owner intends to erect adjacent to the Island Highway, at Meredith Road, is larger than the maximum size allowed under the city’s sign bylaw. The owners applied for a variance to increase the size allowed, but Osborne said the size limit is there for a reason. “The intent is to prevent overly-large signs, which generally become
more unsightly the larger the area,” Osborne said. He re commende d council deny the application to allow Hyundai’s proposed eight feet wide by 21 feet tall sign. “The sign would be located in a prominent location along the city’s main thoroughfare, clearly visible from the highway,” Osborne said. “No justification has been advanced for the need to have a sign that is 33 per cent larger than the maximum allowed other than it is convenient and desired by the applicant.” But council disagreed with Osborne’s assessment after hearing from the Hyundai development team at Tuesday’s council meeting. Hyundai architect Tom Dishlevoy said the new sign will actually be an updated version of the old sign at Hyundai’s existing location on

Coulter Road. He also said that the sign is only eight feet wide on top and that it’s the base, the pylon, that is increasing the size of the sign and putting it out of compliance. “Really it’s just the amount of the base that’s there that is sort of part of the argument tonight,” Dishlevoy said. “We certainly would be prepared to increase the size of
the plantings around the base of the sign to five to six feet in height which would effectively screen that bottom component and leave the compliant area of the upper part of the sign to the view of the public.” That seemed to please council, which voted in favour of granting Hyundai the variance to accommodate the larger size. Mayor-elect and
Coun. Andy Adams suggested the Hyundai team keep an open dialogue with city staff. “I would encourage the applicant to continue to work with staff to provide some additional landscaping opportunities,” Adams said. Taking a suggestion from Osborne, council also directed city staff to review the city’s sign bylaw and report back
to council and the city’s Advisory Planning and Environment Commission with recommendations. Tuesday’s incident was the second time city staff have denied Hyundai’s design plans. In Oc tob er, staf f objected to Hyundai’s new corporate design plans after staff felt it differed too much from plans that had originally
been approved months before. Staff specifically didn’t like the new plan to remove a vertical tower splitting the middle of the building and said the new design moved away from the city’s Official Community Plan guidelines. Council, though, disagreed and approved the new branding and design.

Ken Blackburn answers: what’s an arts council for, anyway? In general, they would facilitate the arts on a very basic level by encouraging people to get involved in them. That has obviously happened. Everywhere you look, all over the province, there are art galleries, theatres, stores full of art supplies, and various arts organizations promoting their work. There are people out setting up easels on the beaches. There are group photography walks happening in the woods and there are writers circles whose

hen the idea of arts councils in general took hold in B.C., “maybe 30 years ago,” according to Ken Blackburn, Executive Director of the Campbell River Arts Council, they were designed to encourage arts groups to form and flourish – to get people interested in the arts, essentially. They were to create theatre troupes, painting workshops, writers’ circles and art galleries.

members are publishing novels. So the work of arts councils was seen by many as a shining success. But now what? What do they do now that art is all around us – now that people are creating art everywhere you look? What good is an organization that’s supposed to encourage something that has already happened? “When I started, about eight years ago now, that was the question we were asking,” says

Blackburn. “How do we redefine an arts council now that it has, in many ways, succeeded in what it wanted to do?” At the time, he saw their role as one which isn’t necessarily to create new arts groups out there, “but perhaps our role is to work in connecting those groups, with an idea of community development in mind. Maybe we should be making a link between the arts and the larger ideal about community development.” And that’s what he still believes.

So what the council did was begin to establish programs in an attempt to incorporate the arts into social and community development initiatives for the betterment of our local society as a whole. The first of these plans was the “Art and Health Initiative,” Blackburn says. He wanted one of the council’s focus to be on the role the arts play in the overall health of the community. The plan, he says, was to reach out to social service agencies – health agencies, seniors homes, youth at risk organizations, for example – and partner with them to offer the arts as a resource for the work that they have to do. They began to set up these community connections to encourage the use of the arts and incorporate their use into other social systems to improve community health as a whole. “What does it mean to have a healthy community?” asks Blackburn, rhetorically. “There is physical health, of course, but there’s also emotional and spiritual health, and that’s equally important. So we want

Ask Luke
It’s illegal to burn garbage!
Don’t burn garbage in your fireplace, or outdoors. It smells bad, bothers neighbours, pollutes the air and creates a safety hazard by coating the inside of your chimney. For more information, come into City Hall and speak with Development Services staff. Or call us at 250-286-5726.
to be a foundational part of the community’s health in whatever way we can.” An example of the success of that initiative is the recent partnering with the Campbell River Hospital Auxiliary which will integrate local art into the hospital. “I don’t know if you’ve walked through (the hospital), but it is grim in there,” Blackburn says, so the idea was to integrate some art into the place to make it more conducive to healing and recovery. “There are a ton of studies out there that highlight the influence of art on the healing process.” Where the art for the beautification of the hospital would come from was the next question, though. To Blackburn, it only made sense for it to come from within the community, using previous partnerships and programs that were already in place. “We’ve already got our programs with family services, we run an art program with the head injury support group, and we have connections with the art teachers in the elementary schools already from our banner program, so we connected all these dots and made a sort of feeder system for the art, and then we’ll do the framing and put it up in the hospital. Then maybe we cycle it every few months. It’s a great solution to a challenge,” Blackburn says. The second aspect Blackburn said, in the redefining of the Arts Council’s role in the community, was just in
being a strong foundational force within the community itself. He wanted to get people to realize it’s importance, not just it’s entertainment or fringe value. “Generally,” Blackburn says, “(Campbell River) still hasn’t evolved past, in many people’s minds, that the arts are kind of a frill,” meaning that they see it as a nice addition to their community, but not how it’s integral to its very foundation. “How do you make a community positive and vibrant, with a sense of culture, and a place where people want to be? A place where people want to move here to be a part of it and businesses want to locate themselves? What is community development? “Everybody talks about it, but what is it?” Blackburn asks, before immediately answering his own questions. “Basically, it’s the relationship between your economic development, your social development and your cultural development. “Those are the big three that give you a community. You can’t have one independently of the other.” When people talk about economic growth, he said, they also need to consider, for example, the social atmosphere in which that growth will be encouraged to happen.

The Trews to put a fresh spin on some old favourites at Tidemark Mike Davies Campbell RiveR miRRoR
W
ith 15 Top10 radio hits over the decade since they launched onto the Canadian music scene, The Trews are touring yet another album – and they’re stopping in at the Tidemark along the way on Monday, Nov. 24. “It’s going to be a really unique show,” John-Angus MacDonald, lead guitarist of the group said via cellphone from their tour bus, which, at the time, was, “I don’t know, exactly. Somewhere between Brandon and Saskatoon.” “We’re going to do the first half acoustic and the second half will be electric,” he said, so some of your old Trews favourites might get a fresh spin you’ve never heard before. While the development and production of The Trews’ new selftitled album is a new approach for the band, they’d like to think it just sounds like them, according to MacDonald. He said they don’t approach any album by trying to come up with a specific message or musical sound, but instead “just spend a lot of time jamming, and when we feel we have enough good songs, we look into who we want to work with and how we want to get it done.”
The Trews will roll into Campbell River on Monday.
“Getting it done,” in this case, meant, in part, finding a new way to finance the album. MacDonald said they suddenly found themselves between record deals after their last release, Thank You and I’m Sorry, and were looking at the options available to them to produce their next one. “The industry has changed so much, you know? It’s like, do we resign with a major label? Do we move to an Indy label?” he asked rhetorically.
They settled on using a new type of crowdfunding, called Pledgemusic, after meeting the creator of the site and realizing that it would be a great way to engage their fans on a whole new level. Pledgemusic is designed in much the same way as other crowd funding sites, such as Kickstarter, where those who donate to the project receive a reward of some kind, but with an added wrinkle for fans. They can, depending on the

project and the rewards being offered, sometimes actually be a part of the production. The new Trews album, for example, saw some fans who pledged to the
project actually get into the studio with the band and get to do everything from finger snaps and handclaps to actual vocals on the tracks being recorded. “It’s like the ultimate fan club,” MacDonald said. “And in the end, it had a big influence on the record, because we knew going in that we were making an album for the fans…that they’d already paid for. So it had to be good,” he said with a laugh. So, what’s changed with The Trews over their decade or so on the scene? Not much, according to MacDonald. “I mean, we’re more focused (than when we started),” he said, “and I

think we’re a little better at delivering, not only from a technical aspect, but also just in that we’re better able to get our message across,” but other than that, they’re the same rockers that launched into most people’s stereos with Poor Ol’ Broken Hearted Me in the summer of 2005. Other than the interesting, “half acoustic, half electric” aspect of the show, fans can be sure there will be a good mix of old hits and new soon-to-be favourites, and that they won’t nec-

He said “Oblivion” (from 2012’s Thank You and I’m Sorry) and “Where There’s Love,” from the latest release, are his two other favourite tracks from their catalogue, so there’s a good chance they’ll play those ones, as well.

Camp Bob dock project kept afloat by donors C hristmas came early this summer to Camp Bob, the recipient of a joint venture between several local businesses. Camp Bob, located on Roberts Lake and home to hundreds of children and youth each summer who participate in outdoor adventure camp progams, received
an enormous gift from local industry and businesses this summer in the form of a new dock. The dock, central to daily watersports activities, has a value well exceeding $60,000 and was a joint effort between Marine Harvest Canada, DKS Industries and Coastline Towing who all pulled together
to fabricate, launch and install the dock system for Camp Bob. The project, initiated by Marine Harvest in fall 2013 was completed in time for the 2014 summer camp season. Les Klassen, Executive Director of non-profit Campfire Ministries & Camp Bob, expressed his gratitude on behalf

of the camp to everyone involved in this project, including Clare Backman and Roger King of Marine Harvest for initiating this project; Cole Makinson and Joel McGee, also of Marine Harvest for many volunteer hours coordinating the project and installing the dock at the lake; Dennis Belavance and his crew at DKS Industries for dock materials and their many hours of fabrication and installation; and Coastline Towing for transporting the docks to Roberts Lake. He also thanks several private donors for providing the funding for decking material for the docks. Regarding DKS Industries, Klassen said, “I
can’t begin to imagine the time and effort that Dennis Belavance and his crew put into this project. Not only did he provide all the materials for fabricating the dock, he found the time to fit it into his very busy schedule and was able to complete it in time for us to use this summer. I can’t thank Mr. Belavance enough for his generosity. His expertise and attention to detail has given us an asset that will allow us to expand and facilitate more readily an already popular waterfront program.” Klassen added, “Without the willingness of people to invest in the lives of children and youth, this project

Photos win tourism contest To u r i s m C a m p bell River & Region is delighted with the tremendous response it received in 2014 for its photo contest. This year’s winning photos showcased the beauty of Campbell River & Region’s waterfront. “It was great to see the natural views of our region through the eyes of the photographers,” said Teresa Davis, Manager of Tourism Campbell River & Region. “It was very challenging to choose two winners from all of the submissions. The level of cre-
ativity was very exciting.” First place winners Kim and Kennedy Windle submitted “Rainstorms & Rainbows,” which was also chosen as the cover of the Campbell River & Region 2015 Discovery Guide. Second Place winners Alana, Cashlin and Everett Millward submitted “Ken Forde’s Beach House,” which the organization said will feature prominently on their new website in early 2015. All photos submitted to the contest will be added to Tourism Campbell River and Region’s photo database and could be
used to help market the area. “We want to thank everyone who entered the contest and encourage them to keep an eye out for their fabulous images,” said Andrea Knowles of Rivercorp. Prizes for the contest were donated by Dolphins Resort; Painter’s Lodge, Campbell River Whale Watching and Adventure Tours, Heriot Bay Inn, Tyee Club Guide Phil Griffith, Discovery Launch Water Taxi, Budget Car & Truck Rental, Heritage River Inn, Mussels & More Pottery and the Museum at Campbell River.

With the arrival of cooler weather the local anglers getting out fishing are having good catch reports. A good number of boats are out on Wolf Lake, and Maple Lake can be good this time of year as well. Comox Lake is good fishing into the month of December and some big fish can be hooked. With the colder weather the fish get scrappy and catches of trout can be experienced if you can find the prime locations.

Don Daniels
5 pound range is common this time of year and with milder weather the bite can be on. Cleaning small trout can be easy if you don’t have a sharp knife handy. A hobby knife with a curved blade can be used as a scalpel to slit the fish along the stomach and using a large pair of scissors, will easily cut the head and tail off. A small spoon cleans the bloodline and the fish is ready for the pan. For those of you catching salmon, the marinas are equipped with cleaning stations to clean your catch.

Fins, feathers, fur and scales Campbell River Pet Centre has a sure-fire solution for kids who spend too much time with their faces fixated on a computer screen. Get them a fish tank. “Fish are fun,” says Sarah Kirk, co-owner of Campbell
River Pet Centre. “ (They’re) healthy for kids, it gets them away from the Game Boys and things.” Kids – and adults too, for that matter – can get a lot of enjoyment out of owning fish. “For children it’s natural,”

Kirk says. “ It’s fun to watch (fish) eat. It’s fun to watch them to have babies.” Kirk sees children as young as five and six years old get into having fish. “It keeps them happy,” she says. And the Campbell River Pet Centre is the place to get fish. “Fish are definitely more of our own focus,” Kirk says. A lot of the store’s business is return business – customers restocking fish, replenishing their fish tanks. Seventy-five per cent of the store’s customers already have fish tanks. The store stocks all manner

of freshwater fish and saltwater fish. “There’s easy fish and not-easy fish,” Kirk says.
L to R: Corey Miller, Owner Sarah Kirk and Garner Lavoie
Easy fish are the popular freshwater species like guppies and neon tetras and goldfish. The more challenging species to take care of are usually saltwater fish. Sarah Kirk, her husband Larry and their daughter Edele have owned Campbell River Pet Centre for five years now but the store has been in business for 31 years. “We’re kind of a Mom and Pop operation,” Kirk says. Birds are another specialty of the Campbell River Pet Centre. “They’re fantastic pets,” Kirk says.

But you should be aware that they are longlived pets, so it is quite a commitment to get one. Snakes are becoming very popular as well. “They’re nice and easy,” Kirk says. “ They poop once a week. They eat once a week. They have zero smell and make zero noise. You can’t get better than that.” Ball pythons are a good pet snake to get into as are corn snakes. Of course, the old stand by gerbils, hamsters and guinea pigs continue to be popular. “We have all the little

rodent types, including ferrets,” Kirk says. Ferrets are fun too. “It’s like having a kitten forever,” Kirk says. But one thing you won’t find at the Campbell River Pet Centre are puppies and kittens, on principal. The Kirks urge people to get dogs and cats from the pound or the SPCA. “We believe in adopting dogs and cats, not shopping for them,” she says. But the store does stock supplies for dogs and cats as well as all the other types of pets they do offer. And while it’s fun owning and caring for a pet, Kirk gives you the impression it is just as much fun owning a pet store. That’s because everybody who comes here is happy. “It’s fun to come to the pet store,” Kirk says. For the owners it’s good to come to work because they love animals and their customers love them too. “I like the people that you get to meet on a daily basis who are like-minded people,” Kirk says. “It’s fun to come to work.” Campbell River Pet Centre is located at 1250B Ironwood Street.

Protect your pets from winter’s wrath car. Cats and wildlife gravitate to warm engines during cold weather. Banging on the hood before getting into your car can avoid a tragic ending for an animal seeking refuge from the cold;
“Cold weather conditions can pose a serious risk to your pet,” says Lorie Chortyk, general manager of community relations for the BC SPCA. “Extra caution should be taken to ensure that your pet stays warm, safe and healthy this winter.”
• Use pet-safe propylene-based antifreeze instead of ethylene glycol antifreeze, which is toxic to pets and wildlife. A mere tablespoon of ethylene glycol antifreeze can kill a cat or small dog; • “Think and Thump” before starting your
Some cold weather safety tips: • Make sure you thoroughly clean the pads of your pet’s paws after they’ve walked on sidewalks or roads to remove any coarse salt that can cause irritation. For your own sidewalk, choose a pet-friendly, noncorrosive de-icing compound readily available through retail outlets;
• The SPCA is vehemently opposed to keeping pets permanently outdoors and strongly urges pet guardians to keep animals inside during cold weather. However, if domestic or farm animals are kept outside, ensure they have access to shelter that is off the ground, provides protection from wind, cold and dampness and is properly insulated. Regular checks to ensure drinking water has not frozen over are also a must; • Sadly, every community has many abandoned and freeroaming cats who are forced to fend for themselves. The struggle for survival becomes even more desperate when temperatures drop below freezing.
Ensure your own cat is protected from the elements and be on the look-out for abandoned cats who need shelter, food, water or medical help.

JOHANNSON, Carl Edmund
Trayler, Steven Edward “Steve” (November 10, 1950 – November 10, 2014) Steve passed away suddenly on Quadra Island on his 64th birthday leaving sadness in the hearts of so many. He was born in Vancouver, BC, the son of the late Cecil and Doreen Trayler. Steve is survived by his brother Michael Trayler, his niece Jennifer Trayler and nephew Jesse Trayler. Although separated, Steve maintained a relationship and was survived by his wife Susan Trayler and left behind his step children Simone Lamont (and husband Tim), Fraser Jordan (and wife Ali) and his beloved grandchildren Gracie, Ava, Mia and Ronin. Steve was employed as a civil servant for years. However, for the majority of his life, he made a living and was best known as a talented and passionate musician, songwriter, artist, painter, storyteller, photographer and performer. As such, Steve was a mentor to all, young and old, and enjoyed nothing more than a good old casual open Island jam session. It is in this spirit that a Celebration of Steve’s Life will be held beginning at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 22, 2014 at the Herriot Bay Inn on Quadra Island. All who loved Steve are welcome.
HAINES, Patricia Elizabeth (Fuller)

It is with great sadness and heavy hearts we announce the passing of Carl Edmund Johannson, after a brave battle with cancer. Carl passed away November 15th in the Campbell River Hospital with his two sisters by his side. Predeceased by his parents Anna Thorarinson and Bjorn (Bert) Johannson. Survived by his daughters Sarah and Emma, nephew Thor, 8 siblings and many more nieces and nephews. Carl lived life to the fullest. When not out catching meat for the freezer, he would be canning, smoking, pickling, making sausages and all kinds of homemade recipes. Carl was always an honest, hardworking drywall contractor, running Johannson Interiors in Campbell River for years. Campbell River was absolute paradise for Carl and his outdoor hobbies which included hunting and especially fishing. This past summer was one of the most beautiful in years and even at the end of his life Carl was out on the water fishing with his good friends and family during the amazing run of salmon or out driving his ‘55 Ford. Carl was with us long enough to witness both his beloved daughters get married and to meet his first grandson. The morning Hilchey Rd. coffee club will greatly miss his humour. The family would like to thank Dr. Daniels for the years of great care he provided Carl. Thank you to the amazing nurses in the oncology unit and the third floor of the Campbell River hospital. An extra special thank you to Carl’s sister Joanne for all the nursing help and emotional support you provided in the end of his life. The family is very grateful for everything you helped him with. A celebration of life will be held in the coming weeks. Carl is now resting in Valhalla with his Icelandic ancestors. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.

While Dad held her hand and with family at her side, Mom passed away in the early hours of November 11. She had been living with Alzheimer’s disease for many years and throughout kept her sense of humour. Her smile always greeted her visitors when they came to New Horizons Care Facility. We cannot thank Mom’s caregivers at New Horizons and the 3rd Floor nurses at CR Hospital enough for their compassion and understanding. She leaves behind Lawrence, her husband of 62 years, children Cindy, Earl, David and their families. Julie so aptly described Mom on Nov 7. “While holding her hand last night I was telling her of all the wonderful things her hands had done in her lifetime. Knitted sweaters and baby blankets to keep her grandchildren warm, advent calendars to count down the days ‘till Christmas. Countless hours of games and pages of colouring spent with her children and their children. Countless family dinners and home baked goodies. The greatest gift of all she gave with loving caring hands....the 25 years of teaching. She held their hands and guided them as she did her own family. The hands of a Mother, Wife, Grandma, Daughter and Teacher. We are all blessed to have been touched by those hands.” Please join us for Mom’s service Saturday, November 29 at 11:00 am at St. Peter’s Anglican Church.

DEATHS
EMBLETON, Edith May (nee Silvester)
May 20, 1921 – October 31, 2014 With sadness, May’s family announces that she passed away peacefully on October 31, 2014. May was predeceased by her husband Reginald (Rex) Embleton and her brothers Stan and Reg. May is survived by her loving family: daughters Sandi (Fred) Ivan and Trina (Edward) Soltys as well as grandchildren Natascha (Ryan) Jones and Kent (Candace) Soltys and great-granddaughters Brooklyn and Gabriella Jones; all of whom were precious to May. In addition, she is survived by a very special nephew Alan (Jen) Silvester in England and many other nieces and nephews in Britain and Canada as well as other places far and near. May was born in Churt, Farnham, Surrey, England on May 20, 1921. May’s parents, Edith and Francis were both born in England and were employed by the Earl of Snowden as chauffeur and housekeeper, employment which eventually found a young May living in Jersey, one of the Channel Islands. Returning to England, May met and married her husband Rex, a young Canadian soldier from the Comox Valley in 1943. May immigrated to Canada as a War Bride in 1946, landing in Halifax and travelling by train to settle in Comox where she and her husband raised their two girls. Rex worked as a shipwright at the Goose Spit and May worked part-time at the Comox Post Office. Rex and May moved to Quadra Island in 1965, where they ‘homesteaded’ while building their own house on two acres close to the ferry. Rex at that time was working for MacMillan and Bloedel and May turned a raspberry patch into a ’cash’ crop, selling berries to the local grocery store. The home became a favourite place for grandchildren to play, climb trees and explore. May and Rex also welcomed travelers and hitchhikers who often became friends. Skilled in the domestic arts, May grew her own organic fruits and vegetables and was an exquisite seamstress, making sure her girls knew how to can, pickle, cook and sew. She also got up very early so that when all her chores were done there was plenty of time to spend an afternoon at the beach with her children. May created a very happy home and memories of a wonderful childhood will never be forgotten by her daughters and grandchildren. May’s family wishes to express sincere thanks to the nurses and staff of Comox Valley Seniors’ Centre for the outstanding compassionate care she received over the past few years. You were also ‘family’ to May. A funeral service will be held at 2 p.m. on Friday, November 21 at St. Peter’s Anglican Church, 228 S. Dogwood St, Campbell River, BC.

Building bylaw changed Home builders now allowed to live in one home on same property where they are constructing another KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
A zoning change approved by council Tuesday night will ensure homeowners who tear down their old homes won’t end up homeless during construction. The bylaw amendment will allow more than one home on the same property, but only while a second home is in the process of being built. The change was triggered by requests from the public. “As Campbell River grows and evolves,
Christmas Songs 4x8.5 and Traditions Submit your recipes, traditions and Santas letters for the song book
PROCESS
many older, poor-quality houses are being torn down and replaced with new dwellings,” said Chris Osborne, city planner, in a report to council. “On larger lots, the new dwelling is sometimes constructed in an entirely different location within the lot. In a small number of these cases, the city has been approached by the owner asking if they can continue to reside in the old dwelling while the new one is being constructed. “While this may seem a reasonable request, the current answer based on our existing bylaw is ‘no,’” Osborne added. As of Tuesday, however, the answer is ‘yes.’ While allowing temporary dwellings was approved as a service to the community, Osborne said in speaking with other local governments that allow multiple homes on the same lot,
he found the process is not without some risk. “A provision could be subject to abuse,” Osborne warned council. “Ensuring and enforcing the subsequent demolition of the old dwelling once occupancy of the new is granted may provide difficult. Anecdotal evidence from other jurisdictions that have tolerated this process confirms that is so. “There is also risk of increased nuisance to neighbouring properties during what can sometimes be a lengthy construction process if a site is crowded out with activity, construction and equipment,” Osborne added. In an effort to thwart abuse of the process, the city will require a letter of credit or other security satisfactory to the city in the amount of $10,000 in the case of a manufactured home being removed, or $15,000 in
all other cases. Osborne said those figures are consistent with the amounts required by other municipalities and reflect the maximum likely legal costs to the municipality should the city be forced to take action to secure compliance. To reduce the impact of noise, dust, and contractor parking on neighbouring homes, the provision will only apply to properties that are at least 1,000 square meters if zoned for just one home, and 2,000 square metres or greater in all other cases. According to Osborne, other local governments that allow temporary second dwellings include the Cowichan Valley Regional District, which has had past issues with enforcement, the Comox Valley Regional District, Maple Ridge, Surrey, Central Saanich, and Courtenay.

McAllister’s work wows at the Tidemark MIKE DAVIES
CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
The air was sucked out of the room again. Wildlife Photographer, environmental advocate and author Ian McAllister had a packed house at the Tidemark Theatre, and he’d just changed slides again to reveal yet another of his stunning photographs while he continued to speak about his life watching and documenting the region that has come to be known as the Great Bear Rainforest. The powerful presentation was part of the Great Bear Wild tour, in support of McAllister’s new book of the same name. It was the fifth stop of seven on the planned tour, the proceeds of which are going to support Pacific Wild’s endeavours to continue studying and advocating for the north/central B.C. coast. Andrew Nikiforuk, one of the most recognizable names in Canadian environmental journalism, introduced McAllister by way of a short presentation of his own – based on a recent editorial he’d written for the New
York Times – about oil pipelines, the Alberta tarsands and their effect on the environment, and the B.C. government’s plans for the Liquefied Natural Gas industry. It was, he said, the duo’s “Dr. Gloom (sometimes known as Dr. Apocalypse) and Sally Sunshine” routine, where Nikiforuk opens by talking about “what pipelines and LNG might mean to this coast,” and McAllister follows with his presentation about “what truly energizes this place. What makes this place so remarkable.” Nikiforuk spoke powerfully about resource extraction’s impact on the environment, using concrete examples and statistics, and painted a bleak picture in the minds of the audience in preparation of McAllister’s talk, both in terms of environmental and economic recourse for society’s previous actions and future decisions. Then McAllister came up and started showing his work. He is truly a master of the craft, and every change of slide brought either a gasp or “awww” from the audience,
depending on the subject matter. McAllister, through it all, spoke of his life on the coast studying and documenting, regaling the audience with funny anecdotes of run-ins with wildlife and just generally inspiring awe within those in attendance. From the story about his diving partner being overtaken by a pack of Stellar Sea Lions when they thought he’d “claimed their rock,” to his own diving gear being ripped off by an inquisitive octopus, to sailing through the breath of a pod of sleeping whales – which is apparently less romantic than it sounds – McAllisters tales were a delight to all who heard them. Those who missed the event can see McAllister’s work at pacificwild. org, where they can also support his work by donating to the cause or by finding other ways to get involved. His book is available at Coho Books downtown on Shopper’s Row. The proceeds from sales of the book, like those from the tour, go to the organization’s research and advocacy efforts.

Riptide notch first road win The Riptide U14 Girls soccer team was on the road again Saturday for its eighth game of the Vancouver Island Premier League season, playing its second match against the Gorge/Lakehill Thunder team from Victoria. Coming off a tough loss last week and with only one of their ten points being earned on the road coming into this match, Riptide’s mental toughness and technical training would be put to the test. The teams last faced off in early October, when Riptide outscored the Thunder 7-1 at home. However, the Gorge/ Lakehill team had been gaining momentum since then, resulting in a very close game against Saanich and a win against Upper Island Storm (the top two teams in the league) in its previous two games this month. Right from the game’s starting whistle, it was clear that both teams came with the intention and commitment to win. Despite their efforts, neither team was

able to find the back of the net, and the first half ended with no score. With some strategic positioning adjustments to counteract Gorge/Lakehill’s style of play, Riptide came back strong in the second half, scoring within the first three minutes. That would be enough as Riptide won the game 1-0. Throughout the game, Riptide maintained most of the ball possession, but the main story continued to be the team’s strong defence, shutting down most of their opponent’s scoring
opportunities. Riptide’s keeper took care of the rest. The Riptide U14 Girls soccer team, sponsored by Lacasse Construction, has byes for the remainder of November. The team plays its final game of 2014 on December 6 in a home game against Juan de Fuca/Sooke. Until then, Riptide will continue its regular indoor and outdoor training schedule.

Atom Tyees The Nyrstar Atom B Tyees had a great start to their league season last Sunday. The Tyees played host to the Nanaimo B2 Clippers to kick off their 2014/15 season. The Tyees’ Thomas Nelson opened the scoring with the first, the second and the third goals of the game, to notch a natural hattrick. Tyee Kobe Koizumi followed up Nelson’s heroics with two goals, and Liam MacKinnon and Jaxson Irving each scored once in the third. The Tyee goalies, Jasper van de Vlasakker and Macklin Johnson shared the game and stymied the Nanaimo Clippers. The Tyees came out on the winning end of a 7-1 final score. The Nyrstar Atom B Tyees are back in action this weekend as they take on the Cowichan B team Sunday at 1:15 p.m. on rink 2 at Strathcona Gardens.
Peewee Tyees The Blue Thunder Peewee B team has been busy these last few weeks. They’ve been working on team building with dry land training, puck shooting classes and a team potluck lunch. All of this seems to have paid off as the team has started the season undefeated. Last weekend the peewees were on the road to take on the Victoria Ice Hawks. The Tyees went on to a 6-3 win in a hard fought seesaw battle. Goals were scored by: Tyler Wingert who opened the scoring early in the first period, Markus Cross (2), Lane Rogers , and Matthew Block. The next day, the Tyees defeated the Saanich Braves 3-1. Goals were scored by: Tatum Feeney, Block and Wyatt Huffman. The Peewee B’s play this weekend at home against Nanaimo on Saturday.

pers were able to take advantage on the power play and run the score to 6-3. Hartley finished the scoring late in the third, assisted by Kratzmann and Savey. Final score was 6-4 for the Clippers. Sunday’s game saw the Cowichan Valley Capitals make the trek north to the Brindy. Although Cowichan scored first, the home squad continued to press. Hartley tied the game with an amazing individual effort, taking on three Cowichan players in the corner, he came out with the puck and slid it past the keeper. Seth Parker put the Tyees in the lead and shortly after, Hartley lit the lamp again. Nolan Corrado scored the final goal to give the home squad a 5-1 lead at the ice clean. It seems as though the Tyees thought this game was over, but the Capitals would have more to say before the day was finished. The Capitals stormed back to tie the

The KLP Construction Bantam A Tyees returned home to the friendly confines of Rod Brind’Amour Arena last weekend after six consecutive weeks on the road. The Nanaimo Clippers would provide the competition on Saturday. It was just the third meeting of the season, but already there is quite the rivalry building between these two clubs. The home team led 1-0 after the first on a goal by Codey Savey. The Clippers, though, were a different team in the second period, scoring three unanswered goals and putting the Tyees back on their heels. The hosts would not be deterred; Savey closed the gap to one and the Tyees tied the game at the end of the second period, as Jacob Hartley tipped in a nice pass from Braydon Kratzmann. The third was a rough, penalty filled affair. Both teams seemed to lose their cool at times. The Clip-
