safety upgrade projects will be an ongoing economic boon for jobs and (will) help city council take this community to another level,” Adams said. “These seismic dam safety upgrades, in addition to the current John Hart Generating Station project, equates to Hydro project activity in Campbell River that spans over 20 years.” Watson said as with the current John Hart Generating Station project, there may be employment opportunities for local workers. “It makes sense to hire locally and that also applies to suppliers and subcontractors,” he said. “We are still a long ways away from the procurement of these major projects, yet the good groundwork that was paved through the John Hart Generating Station Replacement Project may be applied in a very similar way in Campbell River to showcase the businesses and expertise that exist.” Colleen Evans, execu-
tive director of the Campbell River Chamber of Commerce and incoming city councillor, said the Chamber will work closely with Hydro to maximize employment opportunities. “To hear that we have two more major BC Hydro projects over the next 20 years on top of the current project is just tremendous news,” Evans said. “We have the means to be positioned really well from our majorprojects.ca site, to the model we employed with BC Hydro for those early business contractor and subcontractor events. It also provides opportunity and certainty for local businesses that there will be a lot of work happening in Campbell River for a long time.” While the first of the two projects, that being upgrades to the 800metre long John Hart Dam, is still at least four years away and in the preliminary stages, First Nation consultations and community engagement on the project have
already started. Not to be confused with the John Hart Generating Station project already underway, which will underground the generating station and replace the three penstocks with a single underground tunnel, the John Hart Dam project will take place once the generating station upgrades are complete, which is expected to happen in 2018. “We couldn’t do the generating station and dam upgrade projects at the same time, as the penstocks draw water near the top of the reservoir,” Watson said. “It would prohibit power generation and domestic water supply to the city for years. They have to be done in sequence.” The Strathcona Dam project, which will follow the John Hart Dam upgrades, will enter the preliminary stages in roughly one year. “That project is about a year out from starting the early consultation process,” Watson said. “There will need to be work on the generat-

around the dam and deep into the reservoir, to allow us greater ability to draw down the reservoir if needed for emergency measures.” Watson said the two upcoming projects are about ensuring the dams can withstand a significant earthquake. “It’s about planning for
that worst case scenario of a major earthquake,” said Watson, noting Vancouver Island is the most active seismic area in the province. “The two earthfill dams will sustain damage due to the extreme and lengthy shaking that may occur.” While the Ladore dam, also a part of the
Campbell River system, is founded on rock and is seismically sound, that’s not the case with both the John Hart and Strathcona dams, which is why improvements are necessary. “BC Hydro plans to make this system much improved through reinvestment,” Watson said.

Cider MONDAY
A Newer, Friendlier alternative to Cyber Monday
Monday December 1st millions of shoppers buying into the “Cyber Monday” craze will fight crashing servers, try to avoid hidden costs from sellers, and keep their fingers crossed that the gifts arriving are as great in person as they seemed online. An August 2014 study of back to school online shoppers in the U.S. found that 84% experienced some kind of problems (research conducted by SOASTA, August 2125, 2014). So why add all of that extra stress to a season that so many people find is already crazy enough? A few local merchants are teaming up this year to offer you a much more friendly shopping experience called “Cider Monday”. This idea originates from The Toadstool Bookshops in New Hampshire and is gaining momentum across North America. Patrons are offered a free cup of cider as well as the opportunity to “see some real people and have a good time checking out what’s in our store. We can promise no crashing websites, and our ‘servers’ won’t be overloaded. We bet they will even smile at you!” For the first time ever the Cider Monday trend is coming to a select group of Campbell River merchants. Come enjoy some cider with us. You’ll be happy to know that knowledgeable staff will be on hand to answer questions in real time, without any forms to fill out. Shopping Local = The Latest in Social Networking? We hear a lot of reminders at Christmas about the importance of shopping local, and for good reason. This shopping season creates an important economic boom that allows many small businesses to survive through the leaner times of the year. It also means jobs for more local people, boosting our local economy. Enjoying public spaces and local shops are a great chance to run into your friends and neighbours, making them the ultimate in Social Networking Sites! So do some social networking this Cider Monday by spending time with friends strolling downtown and enjoying a hot drink on us as you browse some great gift ideas.

The Truck Light Parade has fast become a holiday season staple.
Truck Light Parade, Starlight Shopping shine tonight
C a mp b e l l R i v e r ’s unofficial kick off to the holiday season, Starlight Shopping, has been a tradition for local families for nearly 15 years. This year’s extravag an z a t a ke s pl a c e tonight. It’s a night where downtown shop owners will offer deals and savings to entice people to shop local. It doesn’t hurt that Santa and Mrs. Claus stop by too. The truck parade is a relatively new staple to Starlight Shopping. For the past five years it has opened the evening, with a cavalcade of semitrucks, school buses, and fire trucks all lit up and
dressed to the nines, making their way down the Island Highway to Spirit Square. The parade leaves the Island Highway and Rockland Road at 5 p.m. and finishes up in Tyee Plaza at 6 p.m. A select few trucks will remain on display in the shopping centre’s parking lot. Entertainment in and around Spirit Square will kick off at 5 p.m. with the first 300 kids receiving glow sticks. There will be live music in Spirit Square throughout the evening and Captain Thunderpants will act as the town crier. New this year, the Tidemark will be offer-
ing a children’s show, featuring the Canadian musical group the Kerplunks, in conjunction with Starlight Shopping. At Tyee Plaza there will be cookie decorating, taffy, face painting, pictures with Santa, Mrs. Claus and the elves, as well as hot chocolate and carolling with the Salvation Army to get you in the holiday spirit. Entertainment from the local high schools, as well as food vendors, will round out the docket. Banking on last year’s success, there will also be Christmas card making at the Art Gallery which last year attracted 300 people.
There are a number of grinches stealing Christmas around Campbell River this year. Well, stealing outdoor Christmas decorations, anyway – and isn’t that a little bit like stealing Christmas? Campbell River RCMP have responded to a few calls for thefts of outdoor Christmas decorations, lights and ornaments. Calls were received from residents on Candy Lane, the 200 block of Birch Street, the 300 block of the Island Highway and the 500 block of Homayno Crescent. Cpl. Poppy Hallam said Campbell River RCMP’s Community Response Unit, while doing regular checks at a residence of a “priority offender,” observed lawn ornaments consistent with at least one of the descriptions given by callers of the thefts. The officer remembered seeing pictures of the stolen Santa that dropped it’s drawers revealing “Ho, Ho, Ho” in the media and felt confident this was the same stolen Santa. “The stolen Santa was seized by the officer to return to it’s rightful owner, who is very excited to get him back,” Cpl. Hallam said. Still reported missing to police are the following: n A 14 foot inflatable Santa (see attached picture) (Island Highway).
This inflatable Santa was stolen from an Island Highway home, one of a number of Christmas lawn ornaments that have been taken.
n Three light up stars that stick in the ground (Birch St.). n A three-foot plastic cutout of three children carolling that lights up (Birch St.). n An inflatable Snow Man (Candy Lane).

Christmas campaigns won’t solve child poverty Everyone is gearing up for the Christmas season, that wonderful time of year focused on giving. There are food drives collecting We say: Focus for the food bank, and campaigns of all needs to be on kinds to help those in need, including eliminating child toy drives trying to ensure all children have something waiting for them under poverty the Christmas tree. This is a great thing, and it is goodhearted people that both organize and contribute to them.
But the best they can hope for, and it is a good goal, is to alleviate some of the need. The sad fact is, the issue of child poverty is not going to be solved by a once-a-year campaign. According to the annual report released by First Call, a coalition of advocacy groups, child poverty is on the rise in B.C. rather than declining. According to the B.C. Child Poverty Report Card, 169,240 children were living below the poverty line in this province in 2012. Last year, the report said 153,000 children. First Call set out 19 recommendations in their report with a goal of reducing the provincial
child poverty rate to seven per cent by 2020. The recommendations cover a range, from raising the minimum wage to increased child tax benefits and rescinding cuts to Employment Insurance. But what they all have in common is the need for provincial and federal governments to address the problem. When we see the enormity of the problem of child poverty, it is clear it is time for upper levels of government to join in the fight to make some long-term change. -Black Press

Mental illness is not a crime
What do Victoria, Surrey, Vancouver and the Slocan Valley have in common? If you haven’t guessed yet, it is that within the last three months, a mentally ill person has been shot and killed by the police in those communities. Mentally ill people are not criminals. They are suffering and need to be supported. It is time for our governments to get their priorities straight. Also this week we have seen a damning report from the Auditor General about vets and returning soldiers with mental health and PTSD issues being neglected. Statistics from 2004 – 2014, show that there have been more military deaths from suicide (160) than combat (138). The Mental Health Commission of Canada states that, ‘in any given year, one in five people in Canada experience a mental health problem or illness.” In B.C. we have seen government policy that has mentally ill people being moved out of institutional care and then abandoned in the community with many (including vets and concussed sport heroes) winding up on the streets. We need to pressure our governments to restore and improve service . When desperate families ask for help they don’t need to be caught up in bureaucratic process, they need immediate and appropriate care. When psychologically wounded vets are in distress, they need treatment. When police cite insufficient education about mental illness as the main reason that their members resort to using undue force, they need training now. I want my tax dollars spent on services for people not fancy ads, photo ops and subsidies for big oil. Joanne Banks Campbell River
I’m not the Grinch I’m made out to be I’m thought of, by some, as a bit of a downer in terms of celebrating the holidays. I just don’t believe in commemorating the end of the year for the last fifth of it, is all. Is that so wrong? Can’t we do it for, like, a week, maybe? Also, I guess I don’t like it when everything smells like cinnamon (or whatever that smell is that seems to be everywhere in December). And I don’t like Christmas carols being everywhere so you can’t get away from them even if you try. I don’t really even like Mandarin oranges that much. Or candy canes. Or bows. Or snow (not that we get much of that here, but it’s definitely a theme that pervades all the images, movies and store displays).
Or glitter. I can’t stand gingerbread. Wow. I guess maybe I’m more of a downer than I thought, now that I’m typing out all the things I don’t like about the season. I can appreciate why people like these things, though. I really can. They’re just not for me. I love my family and friends, and I love what the season means in terms of being joyful and thankful for what – and who – you have in your life, I just can’t get into the frills and ancillary things that come along with it. I can even appreciate that some (okay, many) people love that aspect of this time of year. They love all the things I hate. I get that. The world would be a pretty dull place, after all, if we all liked the same things.
Wait, back up. I have to add another thing I hate about this season. I hate the scumbag losers who go around vandalizing or stealing things from people’s Christmas displays. These festive extravaganzas might not be my cup of tea, as they say, but I appreciate the effort, enthusiasm and (especially) cost that people put into their holiday displays, and despite not wanting one myself, I respect those who do. But I guess that’s just because I respect people, in general. Some people don’t, it seems. Every year, without fail, displays get knocked around, thinned out or broken up by certain members of our community. Probably every other community, too. I hate disrespect more than I hate gingerbread.
I hate disrespect more than I hate glitter – and I really, truly, hate glitter. Please report suspicious activity when you see it. Watch your social media streams for people reporting stolen decorations, and if you have decorations stolen, share that information with the public however you can. Like I said, this is the time of year for love, respect, charity, acknowledgement and joy. Spread that. Just look out for each other – even when that means helping surround one newspaper guy with things he doesn’t like. Because respect for people and love of community are far more important than my own petty distaste for celebratory frills.

Downtown businesses have a sweet take on ‘Cider Monday’ Businesses downtown are taking a direct and delicious assault on Cyber Monday. Cyber Monday is the Monday after the American Thanksgiving (Nov. 27) and it was created by marketing companies to persuade people to shop online. But Campbell River businesses want to you get out of the house instead and have a cup of cider on “Cider Monday” which is being held Dec. 1. Participating local stores will offer shop-
pers a warm welcome and a cup of delicious cider. Referred to in the media as Cyber Monday, much news is made of the gigantic surge in online Christmas spending that begins that day. However “incider” traders are hoping for drastic declines in online purchases because of Cider Monday as people abandon the virtual world of their computers and smart phones for the smarter still experience of a trip into the real
world. Cider Monday began with an independent b o ok store i n Ne w Hampshire called Toadstool Bookshop, and is now taking the world by storm one sip at a time. Shoppers are promised cider, smiling servers that will not crash, personal service and advice, the opportunity to touch and try before adding to the cart (err… armful), no logins or passwords, payment in cash if desired, and always free
freight. Simply take your purchases home with you, no charge. This year the event is starting on one block of Shoppers Row, with La Tee Da Lingerie Boutique, Gourmet Essentials, Coho Books and Options in Gold participating. “Yum,” a local woman was overheard saying, rubbing her tummy as the tasty treat coursed incider. “I can already feel the local economy growing!”

Strathcona Regional District looks to improve relationship with First Nations KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Following tension last year between Strathcona Regional District directors and Cortes Island’s Klahoose First Nation, the regional district is considering a new relationship-building initiative. An engagement strat-
egy with First Nations governments and communities was identified by the board as one of its top strategic priorities during a planning session earlier this year. This week, Russ Hotsenpiller, chief administrative officer for the Strathcona Regional District (SRD), told the board in a report that
such a strategy will take work and commitment. “A successful engagement strategy moves through a continuum from reconciliation of past differences, to the development of internal and external policies, and finally to joint agreements and collaboration,” Hotsenpiller said. “Implemen-

tation of a relationshipbuilding strategy will take commitment of resources and time by both the SRD and First Nations.” The board’s desire to better its relationships with First Nations comes on the heels of a heated re-zoning application process with the Klahoose First Nation in 2013. A majority of the four electoral area directors chose to decline the Klahoose’s invitation to hold a public hearing into a re-zoning for a new marina in Squirrel Cove at the Klahoose multi-purpose centre. The board instead elected to host the meeting at the Gorge Hall, a site the board deemed neutral, citing concerns that those who wanted to speak against the application would be uncomfortable voicing their opposition in the applicant’s territory. That decision set off a firestorm of criticism from Cortes residents. The Klahoose were then further angered when the regional district board decided, on

Privacy breach at Island Health

Two employees have been fired from Island Health (formerly Vancouver Island Health Authority) after breaching the privacy of 112 individuals using the agenc y’s Electronic Health Record system. Island Health says they have “notified and sincerely apologized to the individuals who were affected by this breach,” adding that if you have not been contacted, it was determined by their investigation that your privacy was not breached by these former employees. According to Suzanne Germaine, Communi-
cation Officer for Island Health, “in this case, these employees chose to use their unauthorized access privileges to the Electronic Health Record to satisfy their personal and medical curiosity about patients with whom they had no care relationship,” but stresses that the public should feel that their medical information is secure. “There are a number of safeguards in place already to balance the access to the information care providers need to deliver care and services with the need to protect privacy of patients medical information,” Germaine said. These include “passwords,
encryption, declaration screens (where a care provider confirms they have a care relationship to the patient), confidentiality agreements, policies and procedures, professional Standards, role based access (access is provided based on the job you have, your functions and need to know), reactive and proactive audits of chart accesses, education to staff, and, of course, compliance with provincial legislation,” she added. According to the release issued in regards to the breach, “immediate steps were taken to ensure the employees’ access to any personal or confidential information was revoked,” once the
allegations were received in early October. Germaine said it’s now up to the individual patients affected by the breach to decide if they want to pursue any legal action, and said, “Island Health would cooperate with any police investigation,” if any charges are laid by the Crown. Dr. Mary Lyn Fyfe, Chief Medical Information Officer for Island Health, acknowledges the seriousness of such a situation. “It is extremely disappointing and completely unacceptable that staff members would breach a patient’s right to privacy, and it is a total violation of the confidentiality acknowledgement
Police issue warning of man perpetrating gravel scam The Campbell River RCMP are warning the public about a reported scam involving a truck load of gravel. On Wednesday Nov. 26 a resident in the 100 block of McPhedran Road called police to report a fraud. A man identifying himself as “John” attended this
person’s residence and inquired if they wished to purchase a load of crushed rock for their driveway. The homeowner paid the male $150 and he told them he just had to go get his truck and got a ride with homeowner to the area of Petersen Road and Willis Road.

That was the last time the homeowner saw “John.” He never returned with a load of gravel as planned. The immediate neighbours were canvassed, but no one saw this man and the homeowner does not know this man and did not get contact information.
The man is described as Caucasian, about 65 years old, approximately 6 feet tall, hefty build, short greying hair and scruffy facial hair wearing casual clothes. If you have any information about this offence please call the Campbell River RCMP or Crime Stoppers.

Heavenly voices bring you seasonal Songs Of Heaven and Earth Island Voices Chamber Choir and conductor Jenn Forsland present “Songs of Heaven and Earth”. Concerts will take place at Trinity Presbyterian Church in Campbell River, at 7 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 29 and at Comox United Church at 7 p.m. on Sunday, Nov.30. Island Voices is primarily an a cappella choir, however this concert will also feature Joyce Baker on cello and Janet Bouey on clarinet, as well as the piano accompaniment of Joyce Baker, Helen Moats and Jenn Forsland. As usual, Island Voices will perform works of a wide variety of genres including classical, pop, jazz, spirituals, folk song and liturgical. Although much of the program includes works
that are not necessarily drawn from the Christmas or holiday genre, the audience will be treated to a whimsical version of Tchaikovsky’s “Sugar Plum Fairy” and the uplifting Nigerian Christmas song “Betelehemu”. Other works include lyrics by some of the worlds greatest writers spanning over centuries, including John Donne and R. M. Rilke. Britain’s Christina Rossetti penned the words to “Earth Grown Old”. The music for this haunting piece was composed by Graeme Langager, a talented, and local B.C. Choral director. The choir is excited to perform this work, as they were able to gain direct insight from the composer himself this last September at the choir’s annual
retreat. Works by Gabriel Faure, and the Beatles, and the Canadian folk songs “Frere Jacques” and “Frobisher Bay” will round out the evening. So come and enjoy an evening of warm harmonies, expressive emotion, and beautiful lyrics. Tickets for the Campbell River concert are $18 and $15 for seniors and students. There will be a reception following the concert. Trinity Presbyterian is located at 145 Simms Road. For more information call 250-2853560. The Comox concert is $15 and $12 for

Young ballerinas to take the stage with Royal Winnipeg Ballet
Celebrate the season with the Campbell River Children’s Choir Share the spirit of the season with the Campbell River Children’s Choir, Saturday Dec. 6 at Trinity Presbyterian Church. The concert will feature music from Baroque to Bruno Mars and will explore the contrasts of darkness and light. There will be some Christmas favourites, some fun, and some moments to bring the joy and peace that sometime get lost in the rush of busy lives. The choir would like to say that they appreciate the support from the community which allows the organization to bring in world class musicians and to attend festivals to improve skills and to experience the
larger world of music-making. Last year help from Rotary facilitated a workshop with internationally acclaimed Finnish musician Sanna Valvanne and next year half of the choir will be traveling to Ottawa to represent our community singing in the National Arts Centre on Canada Day. The choir’s three separate groups will come together to share their love of singing and music with the community next weekend at the Christmas concert. Concert goers can choose either our afternoon performance at 2:30 or an evening performance at 7 p.m. Tickets are available at MusicPlant for $20 (cash or cheque only).
A few dancers from the Urban Dance Connection’s Performance Team have been awarded roles in the recently Royal Winnipeg Ballet’s (RWB) Nutcracker. Mikaela Garson (9), Julia Parkinson (8), Shea Bridgen (9) were cast as Polar Bears, Maren Turner (8) will understudy a mouse and Ava Feltham (9) will also get to attend all rehearsals as she is on the waitlist for a role. This is a very exciting
opportunity for these young dancers. They will experience working with professional ballerinas, an experience that is sure to inspire their dance lives for many years to come. The RWB’s Nutcracker will take place at the Port Theatre in Nanaimo on Dec. 9 and 10. Tickets are $65 ($61 for members and $25 for students) and are available from the Port Theatre box office or at www. porttheatre.com

Realtor turned festive artist MIKE DAVIES CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
For about a month a year – from right after Remembrance Day until about the end of the first week of December – George Roach of Arbutus Realty turns some of his attention from split-level homes and duplexes to his stash of acrylic craft paint and big fat markers. Roach’s sister makes window art in the Fraser Valley. She’s been doing it for about 20 years and after a visit over the holidays, and tagging along as she did a few, he returned to Quesnel – where he lived at the time – and decided to add some holiday spirit to the windows of the realty office he was working in at the time. “Then the business next door said, ‘Can you do ours?’ and the business down the street said, ‘Can you do ours, too?’ and I’ve been pretty much doing it ever since,” he says. Now that he’s in Campbell River, he and his partner Erin Brown – who he calls the real artist of the operation – have been doing the windows of about 25 businesses per year.
MIKE DAVIES/THE MIRROR
Above, Erin Brown and George Roach, foreground, liven up a vacant storefront in Tyee Plaza with Christmas art. Below, Roach paints the windown in time for tonight’s Starlight Shopping.
This year they’re a lot busier than that, though. Roach says he’s booked for about 50, thanks in part to Jan Wade from the Downtown Business Improvement Association (DBIA) and the vendors on Shoppers Row and in Tyee Plaza. Wade said she was looking for something interesting to add to the annual Starlight Shopping event held down-
town, so she sent an email around to the DBIA members, outlining her idea of having the first 12 businesses to respond be one of the featured “12 Days of Christmas,” and get their windows decorated representing one of the days in the carol of the same name. “I didn’t have any trouble filling the 12 spots,” Wade said, adding that

french fry container. Roach said they can come up with a design for just about any budget, from a single window with “Happy Holidays” and some snowflakes and holly accents to a full-scale mural across an entire storefront of windows. “It’s a lot of fun,” said Roach. “It adds some festive cheer to the community and gives us a chance to do something different for a while.” If you’re interested in having Roach and Brown come look at your windows, call Roach at 250203-5896.

The businesses in Tyee Plaza will have scenes from “’Twas the Night Before Christmas.”. Roach said they always try to incorporate an aspect of what the business does into their artwork. For example, for an oil change business, they might do a car getting an oil change with Christmas presents falling out of the trunk, or a fast food restaurant might have kids being pulled in a sleigh made out of a

Is this my stop? Teen transit woes
at times when you’re in a hurry.”
Hayley Ellis, a grade 10 student, thinks there
“should be a way to input where you need to get to
on the BC Transit website and it will show you
the route that gets you closest to your destina-
tion.” She also thinks that certain routes, such as the Quinsam bus (route #16) should run more times per day, and at later times. Chantelle Flori, a student at Timberline, agrees with Ellis on the fact that busses should run later as well as more often. According to her, the “bus I take to get from school to home doesn’t line up, and often times I have to wait an hour at the community centre to get onto the next connecting bus.” Many teenagers believe that the way busses are run sometimes just doesn’t work the way they want them to. Of course, they feel that busses need to be lined up to suit the schedules of high school students using city busses as their main modes of transport.
believe that a part time job is an important part of growing up. “It can help them obtain valuable work experiences, which are excellent for resumes.” says Christina Peterson, mother of two. “Plus they will learn how to effectively manage
finances, even if they are simply using their earning to pay for their own expenses.” Part time jobs can often teach teens the importance of various essential traits. For example, punctuality, responsibility and respect. These specific traits are impor-
tant to have before moving out. However, what happens when jobs start affecting grades? “Having a job adds a lot of stress because things from school pile up a lot faster, and when you work weekends like I do, you never get that break to catch up,” says
Emily Barbas, student and part time employee. “In the end, your grades suffer when in reality that’s what you should be working on.” Barbas isn’t the only student in this situation. When the workload and difficulty of school courses are considered, a
part time job can lead to grades at school changing drastically. “Depending on the job you have, it can take up a lot of time and can cause issues with completing homework and other assignments essential to being a successful student,” says Hailey Ruth-
erford. Part time jobs are a perfect way of earning and saving money, along with getting the important experience every job has to offer. Unfortunately, some students can’t manage the grades they need to achieve as well as a part time job.

In Campbell River, youth use public transit an awful lot to get around. It’s a common sight to see teenagers hanging around the community centre to get onto the next bus to go somewhere - after school or on weekends. Though it’s a convenient and cheap way to travel the town if you’re unable to drive due to age or otherwise, sometimes the way busses are run in this town inconveniences students in many way. Mackenzie Alexandra, a grade 11 student at Carihi, suggests “two different maps on display at the community centre, or even on the website. One for weekend routes, and one for weekday routes. They can get really confusing

And then there’s the ferry BreaGHa ZakaiB Carihi Mirror
Quadra students between the ages of 12-18 travel to school by ferry every day. In spring of 2014, B.C. Ferries altered their schedule and it seems like people are still bitter, and having a tough time adjusting. The last ferry that runs from Campbell River on weekdays is the 9:55 p.m., causing a lot of issues. “My hockey games run later than the ferry so I miss out on a lot of the season,” says Max Bawks Smith. Others find it hard to socialize, and late movies are out of the question. “If I want to do anything in the evening I have to stay at a friend’s house which is fine but sometimes I think it would be easier to live in town,” Says Sophie Whittingham After school , the ferry is still difficult for those that make the commute. With only an eight-minute ride because of the obscure sailing times it takes kids up to an hour and a half to get home. Those with jobs suffer

too. “With the after school ferry run getting pushed back, it’s made me late for work every shift,” Smith says. Sometimes you can miss a ferry by seconds and the waiting room doesn’t make for a fun place to kill an hour. “I think they should get Wi-Fi in the waiting room so at night, kids don’t walk around the street in the dark waiting for the ferry. Instead they could just go in the waiting room and do their homework,” says Rhyanna Knoedler. The revised schedule is tough; everyone’s days are planned around the
ferry. The inconsistent times make it frustrating for everyone. “I have to carry around a laminated schedule,” Sophie adds. Everyone had the old schedule memorized, and now the weekend sailing are different too. The inconvenient mode of transportation frustrates most, however, Mairi Marlow added an upside: “It is nice, you can relax when you get back on Quadra, leaving your stress behind in town.” Although everyone had a negative comment about the ferry it didn’t affect their love for living on the island.
bian universities: the University of Victoria, the University of British Columbia, and Simon Fraser University. The overnight trip gave students a chance to not only see the universities in person, but to ask questions and meet other students enrolled. And while for some it brought a sense of security, it also brought up some concerns. “Students today often already have such full schedules due to part time jobs, homework, and extracurricular activities that it’s hard to find time for long, complicated application processes,” said Megan Koster. Koster also mentioned that “I don’t think high school grades are necessarily an accurate representation of a student’s
potential and I think more and more universities are starting to realize that. As for costs, that becomes more of a question concerning our economy, and I don’t know what the answer to that is.” Another student who attended the trip, Antonia Bellefleur, also commented on the cost of tuition. “For the requirements, I think that grades and such are reasonable, but I really don’t think the tuition fees need to be so high,” he said. Both students were also asked if they enjoyed the trip, and if they would recommend the tour to graduates in the coming years. “I think it’s worth going. It’s nice to be able to see the campuses,” Bellefleur said.
Ian McAllister, B.C. wildlife photographer and writer from northwestern, spoke at the tidemark theatre Nov. 19 about his new book “Great Bear Wild,” which chronicles wildlife stories of bears and other creatures in the pacific Great Bear Rainforest. McAllister was introduced by former Haig-Brown House writer-in-residence and journalist Andrew Nikiforuk, who emphasized the reason the writer/photographer’s work was important. Nikiforuk mentioned specifically the gateway pipeline project plans, stating the only way to avoid climate change is to avoid investing in oil and gas. Moreover, spoke about the massive forests in northern Alberta which are threatened, giving us a glimpse of what could occur on the central and north coast of B.C. Essentially Nikiforuk did the “doomsday” reasoning in saying the pipeline project would be “expanding a project that should not be expanded,” while McAllister focused more optimistically on what the coast currently has as an ecological kingdom. McAllister introduced himself as an “unemployable recluse who prefers the company of bears and wolves over people.” The writer/ photographer has lived in Bella Bella for 25 years working on var-

ious conservation projects while publishing several non-fiction books. His works have mostly been written “through the eyes of grizzly bears” on the mainland, but his new book explores their relationship with the ocean. McAllister spoke of the Great Bear Rainforest romantically, describing his meetings with bears, seals and wolves of the area. He compared many of the animals to a friendly companion, while also capturing their wild beauty in his lens. McAllister described the current ecological state of the diverse coast as an “inescapable resurgence of life.” The wildlife expert then went on to speak about the conservations efforts being made by organizations on the coast, using
Students tour universities Congratulations CHeylyn louGHeed Carihi Mirror
With graduation looming over the horizon, senior Carihi students have been in a state of confusion and chaos these last few months, trying to keep themselves organized and ready for post-graduation. For some, this includes the process of finding a suitable place to further their education and finding, filling out, and submitting the paperwork that goes along with it. Thankfully, amidst this chaos, Carihi offers a sanctuar y, which takes the form of a tour designed specifically for Grade 12’s interested in post-secondary education. Those who were able to attend this year, got tours at three different British Colum-
underwater cameras and hydrophones to document the acoustic levels in the water. If development were to occur, the acoustic levels would be too high and potentially dangerous to marine life. McAllister said he “can’t think of a more critical time to get involved then now,” urging the general public to imagine what they might to do overcome a personal challenge, and try applying that to a broader picture. He says “be creative,” because it will be meaningful to children and grandchildren whether or not we get involved in this fight. The book features beautiful images of creatures from the Great Bear Rainforest, and is full of unique tales directly from the wild.

Art Gallery to modernize offerings MIKE DAVIES CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
The world of art is in a constant state of flux. It’s not that painting and sculpture are dead art forms, or anything, it’s just that many of today’s artists work in other, more modern, mediums, and the Campbell River Art Gallery has now taken a big step towards being able to showcase that type of work. Thanks to a recent grant from the BC Arts Council, the Art Gallery will soon be adding multimedia – especially video – to their arsenal for the public to enjoy. The $11,750 grant is, according to Kris Ander-
son, Executive Director of the gallery, a “Special Project Grant for Capital Assets, which means we can actually purchase equipment with it. Usually when you get funding, it’s for a specific project or for staffing, so it’s always a treat when you get funding to be able to by equipment.” The equipment being purchased is a video projector, monitors and a camera – for both still images and video production. “Aside from sculpture and paintings, we’re now also going to be able to do more new media and video installation, and other contemporary art projects,” Anderson said. According to gallery
Curator Julie Prudhomme, most of the exhibits for 2015 were already booked before the announcement of the grant earlier this week, so the full implementation of the new equipment – exhibitions using video or other “new media” as the focus of the installations – are likely to begin in 2016, but they will be starting to use the new equipment in various “extraneous projects alongside other exhibitions” as soon as it’s received. For example, during the annual Members’ Exhibition in April 2015, “View From the Easel,” the working title of a project Prudhomme is working on, will show
photographs taken by the various artists involved, and add another dimension to the exhibition by giving the public another angle into the world of the artists. “Having it just means we can do all kinds of other things we couldn’t do before. We could have film screenings in the gallery, for example. It just adds to the programming, and enables us to have more current and up-to-date offerings,” said Prudhomme. Upcoming exhibitions and other offerings at the gallery, such as classes or events, as well as when the first multimedia aspects will be implemented, can be found at www.crartgallery.ca

engines, lots of cabin space and a big deck at the back for fish. The boat had the distinction of being decorated inside with reliefs of beautiful native carvings and native paintings created by the previous owners. Ron owned it for 22 years. By the end of his guiding career, Ron had amassed about 1600 pieces of various fishing gear and the Museum acquired 300 of these pieces in 1988, many of which are on display in the Museum’s sportfishing gallery. “One very, very interesting item,” Ron said at the time, “is a five inch, black Bakelite reel, made by Allcock in England. This reel was used exclusively by Painter’s Lodge… the reel is in very good condition.”
CATHERINE GILBERT
MUSEUM AT CAMPBELL RIVER
There was a time when many Christmas gifts were made by hand and when we think of an old fashioned Christmas, many of us conjure up images of wooden toys sitting under the tree. At the Museum at Campbell River, an exceptional collection of handmade wooden toys is on display as part of the Festival of Trees; toys that were meticulously crafted by a resident of Campbell River, Ron Francis. Ron has been as busy as an elf in his workshop; he says that he spends eight to ten hours there almost every day. His workshop is part of his house, and looks just how you would expect it to look, with a pleasing mêlée of odds and ends of tools and partially completed projects, as well as the requisite sawdust. The final products that comes out of that workshop are beautifully finished and are in fact, too nice to be called just toys. Wood working was one of the first careers Ron embarked on in the 1940s in his native England, and the one he has returned to in his retirement years. Ron emigrated to Canada from England after World War II, following his older sister who had married a Canadian serviceman during the war. Ron himself had been in the service in England joining the Welsh Guards where he recalls being posted to both the Tower of London and Buckingham Palace. When asked if

he met any royalty, he replied that yes, ‘they had shaken hands’. In Duncan, he joined the Canadian Scottish and ran a sea cadet corps in Maple Bay. He was approached by the Royal Canadian Navy in 1957 and asked to become a gunnery training officer aboard the training vessel HMCS Oriole, and he stayed with the navy until 1966. He came to Campbell River in 1965. By then already a man of many talents, he responded to an ad for a journeyman plumber in Campbell River

and went to work for George Clark. True to his pattern of having multiple careers, while still working as a plumber, Ron established a fish guiding business in Campbell River in the 1960s, starting out with a 20 foot plywood boat that he had built himself. With the help of his wife Grace, who arranged their customers’ travel and accommodation requirements and did the bookkeeping, they built a solid business and a good reputation. He eventually bought the Chinook, a 28 foot cabin cruiser with twin

The city’s only francophone daycare and pre-school is in danger of having to close its doors. Mimosa Palmberg, president of the notfor-profit society that runs Les Petits Explorateur de Mer-et-Montagne, says the program may come to an end in the new year if there are no more new enrolments.
“We are currently struggling to meet our minimum enrolment requirements of eight children per day,” Palmberg says. “This not-for-profit school was founded by parents looking for opportunities for their little ones to listen, learn and play in French.” The daycare/preschool is located inside
the francophone École Mer-et-Montagne and is for children aged 30 months to five years. The program started in September 2013 as a way to not only provide care for children, but to offer exposure to the French language and French education system to help prepare children for the possibility of a francophone education, Palmberg
says. The daycare/preschool is open Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Anyone interested in enroling their children at Les Petits Explorateur de Mer-et-Montagne is asked to contact Audrey Bilous at 778-418-1820. Children must meet the eligibility require-

As we head into the month of December Shelter Point is producing nice catches of springs for those getting out and a heated boat is ideal to keep warm during the cooler temperatures. Smaller boats can fish the area at Willow Point and trolling small Tomic plugs, Gypsy or Coyote spoons can get you a nice salmon around 14 pounds. Many locals will be getting out looking to catch their Christmas salmon. Another treat at Christmas is crab and prawns. Many have stocked up on both but always check regulations for closures this time of year, if the Dungeness crab has a soft shell they have to be released. Many retail stores get commercially fished crab from the west coast. Bates Beach to the south will have some good fishing

for winter springs beginning in the New Year. Small boats are available to rent at Bates Beach and the majority of anglers fish this area in May and June. With the colder weather trout can be very scrappy if hooked and local lakes can be fun if the bite is on. Last week there were some good catch reports coming in from the
Lower Campbell. Last Saturday some anglers were catching trout using a hook and worm and the youngsters were having fun with their dad. I had a ‘no catch kind of day’ with no fish and no bites. The Vancouver Island Trout Hatchery has finished up the fall stocking program and lakes

stocked were Long, Prospect and Elk. A total of 60,357 trout have been released into lakes on the Island. I recently did a small survey asking anglers which river in the area is the best for Steelhead fishing and I received a variety of answers. The Campbell River used to be good but times have changed and many rods choose to fish other rivers. The Gold River rated high and anglers who fish there know the pools and know when to fish. The Salmon River was also high on the best list and many from Campbell River head to the Salmon in the new year. February and March the best months to fish for Steelhead on the Salmon River if you can get to the right water flow.

North Island Hospitals Project wins innovation award The North Island Hospitals Project (NIHP) has been recognized by the Canadian Council for Public-Private Partnerships (CCPPP) for innovation and excellence in public-private partnerships (PPP). The $606.2 million North Island Hospitals Project includes a new $331.7 million, 153-bed Comox Valley Hospital in Courtenay, and a new
$274.5 million, 95-bed Campbell River Hospital on the existing hospital site. Both hospitals are scheduled for completion by late 2017, and the project received the Silver Award for Infrastructure Sustainability at a ceremony held Nov. 3. in Toronto. “Island Health is extremely pleased to accept the inaugural
Silver Award for Infrastructure Sustainability from the Canadian Council for PublicPrivate Partnerships,” said NIHP Chief Project Officer Tom Sparrow in the release. “We believe designing, building, maintaining and partially financing the two new state-of-the-art hospitals in the Comox Valley and Campbell River is the best approach to
meeting the health care needs of all residents of the mid- and north Vancouver Island regions.” “Island Health very much appreciates the continued support and guidance from the Province of British Columbia, Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Health; and Partnerships BC,” according to Island Health Board Chair Don Hubbard.
Tandem Health Partners, the consortium selected to design, build, partially finance and maintain the North Island Hospitals Project, was happy to receive the award for their work on the project. “We are very pleased that the North Island Hospitals Project has been honoured by the Canadian Council for Public-Private Partner-
ships,” said Rick Taylor, president of Infrastructure Investments for Balfour Beatty Investments North America, one member of Tandem Health Partners. “The Tandem Health Partners team developed a truly innovative approach to this project and we look forward to delivering a successful result for the people of Vancouver Island.”

Gail Kirshner has been declared the trustee representing the Sayward Valley on the board of education for School District 72 (SD72). The vote between incumbent trustee Barbara Bowbrick and challenger Kirshner resulted in a tie in both the general election and the initial recount done by Strathcona Regional District Chief Elections Officer Tom Yates, forcing a judicial recount Thursday. That result was upheld by the Superior
Court Judge overseeing the judicial recount, forcing a lot draw to decide a winner. The Chief Administrative Officer for the Village of Sayward, Darren Kiedyk, drew Kirshner’s name and declared her the elected trustee. This process forced the postponement of the inaugural meeting of the board of education. The meeting was scheduled for Tuesday, Dec. 2, but has been pushed back a week to allow for the election process to conclude, and is now scheduled for Dec. 9.

Renza Venturini NOVEMBER 13, 1921 - NOVEMBER 19, 2014
Renza Venturini, age 93, passed away peacefully at Rosewood Village Trail BC on November 19, 2014 with her family at her side. Renza was born on November 13, 1921 at Segromigno Monte, Italy. Renza is survived by her daughter Mariella (Terry) Ius and Adrienne (Stephen) Frame, her brother Renato (Marisa) Stefani (and their children and grand-children) and her sister-in-law Graziella (and her children and grand-children). Renza leaves behind her cherished grandchildren Chris (Cindy) Ius, Stephanie Ius, Lindsay and Logan Frame. She was predeceased by her husband Ivo in 1987. A consummate mother and homemaker, Renza was an excellent cook and enjoyed preparing meals for her family and friends. She also enjoyed gardening and took special pride in her beautiful roses. She was most content when surrounded with the laughter of her loved ones. She was a strong woman who was very generous with her love. She will be sorely missed by those who grieve her. Some die without having really lived, while others continue to live, in spite of the fact that they have died. She will always have a place in the hearts of the people who were fortunate enough to have loved her as she truly was an unforgettable woman. She was a member of the Sisters of Columbo and the CWL in Trial. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Monday November 24, 2014 at Holy Trinity Catholic Parish at 2012 3rd Avenue, Trail BC at 10 a.m. with Father Bart van Roijen of¿ciating. The burial will take place on Tuesday November 25, 2014 at Oceanview Cemetery. As an expression of sympathy, donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. You may leave a personal message of condolence at the family’s online register at myalternatives.ca.

The KLP Construction Bantam A Tyees returned to action this past weekend at Strathcona Gardens. The Victoria Racquet Club (VRC) Kings provided the competition for Saturday’s game. The Kings continue to impress, as they remain unbeaten in Vancouver Island Division 1 play. The Tyees were highly motivated to see that streak come to an end in front of their home fans. The speed and skill of these two teams was clearly evident. The first period was a wonderfully entertaining and a pure demonstration of high-level bantam hockey. Although the Tyees carried much play, the Kings were the only team able to find the net. The game continued 1-0, until the end of the second when the Kings were the recipients of what is known as puck luck. Tyees Goalie Antoine Minfray made a nice save on a hard shot, only to see the puck bounce up and over his head and fall softly into the net – 2-0 Kings The VRC team tends to dominate third periods, their speed and relent-
less fore checking style, wears their opponents down. History would repeat it self on this day. The Kings took control and if not for the stellar performance between the pipes for Minfray, the score could have been much worse. The final score was 5-0 for the Kings. Tyees Defenseman Bryce Narhi had a strong game, moving the puck quickly, and for a first year player, has quickly embraced the physical side of the game. Game #2 of the weekend would see the Juan De Fuca Grizzlies make the trip north to Rod Bind’Amour Arena. The two teams had split their two previous meeting this year, setting the stage for an important rubber match. The Grizzlies were clearly motivated to start the game, as they pressured the home squad in all three zones. The speedy Tyees were frustrated by the lack of room to skate and make plays. Although Tyee forward Kaden Barnes was able to create some space for himself as he dangled the puck in front of two
Grizzlies defenders, the defenseman fell for the old “toe drag” move, leaving himself alone in front of the net, he then picked the bottom corner, giving the Tyees the lead. While on a power play in the third period, the Grizzlies were able to tie the game, beating Matt Johnson with a perfect cross crease pass for a tap in. The teams traded chances in the third, both hungry for the win. The JDF goaltender stood tall as he thwarted tyee forwards again and again, as the boys pushed to break the tie. The fans in attendance were on the edge of their seats late in the game, as the Grizzlies had not one but two, 2-0 breakaways to secure the win. Apparently Matt Johnson had alternate plans, as he stopped both point blank opportunities to preserve the tie. Kaden Barnes was a standout for the Tyees, his soft hands and good vision make him dangerous every time he steps on the ice. The boys will be on the road again next weekend, when they visit the Comox Chiefs.
advantage. The Tyees looked nervous to start the game, aware of the stakes and anxious to impress. Early puck possession was equal, and the main difference early on was the crisper Victoria passing and the dangerous Grizzlie power play. The game’s opening goal came, in fact, a minute after the Tyees took their first penalty. Juan de Fuca took a 2-0 lead
however, did not quit. Through the second half of the game they pressured the puck well and got outstanding performances offensively from defensemen Matt Barker, with some great pinches, and the puck rushing Tyson Dumont. They peppered the Victoria net with shots, many of the quality variety, but were stymied by goalie Chase Anderson. Tyson Goebel finally broke
