Region recovers from wet week Mike Davies Campbell RiveR miRRoR
How ‘bout that weather out there, eh? The series of recent weather systems drenching the region brought with them some issues. Here’s a quick rundown of the situation with the two major waterways in the area as of the time the Mirror went to print: The Campbell River
Mud and debris sheared off the embankment behind 1216 South Island Highway Wednesday morning, causing the evacuation of three units of the building.
Slide forces partial evacuation of Island Highway complex Three residences in a multi-family residential unit were evacuated after an embankment gave way on the 1200 block of the South Island Highway on Wednesday morning. At approximately 9:45 a.m.,
emergency crews were alerted to a possible mudslide and structural damage to the complex, where the bank behind it had sheared off and come crashing into the southwest corner of the unit. “There was a fair amount of debris that came down,” according to Campbell River Deputy Fire
Chief Thomas Doherty, adding that geotechnical engineers and structural engineers attended the scene to determine the extent of the damage and assess the possibility of subsequent slides. “If the rains continue, it’s obviously a concern for us, and we’re going to keep a close eye on it.”

The tenants of the three evacuated residences will now have to await the report from the structural engineers before being allowed to return home as the rest of the building nervously awaits the report from the geotechnical engineer in regards to possible subsequent slides.

The Upper Campbell Reservoir is almost full, meaning BC Hydro may soon be unable to do anything to slow the flow of the Campbell River. Due to the wet weather this week, according to Stephen Watson of BC Hydro, the reservoir rose 1.1 metres between Monday and Tuesday, and as of Wednesday afternoon was at 220.3 m. Once the reservoir level reaches 222 m – which it could easily do this week – all future inflow would be diverted directly into the already brimming Campbell River, as that is the maximum acceptable level to ensure dam safety. Watson says that they are trying to release as much water as possible during low-tide periods to avoid Continued on Pg. 38

Mayor says more can be done to improve development process KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Mayor Andy Adams says that while he is in office he will aim to make City Hall more development friendly and encourage investment in the community. Adams said while city staff “have done a great job in streamlining the development process,” more can be done. To that end, Adams said at last week’s inaugural council meeting that he plans to form a working group to aid city staff in the development process. “I am recommending that a short term Development Advisory Task Force, led by Coun. (Colleen) Evans and myself, be established to review land use and development processes to assist staff in making Campbell River one of the most desirable places to do business,” Adams said. “ T he D e vel op e rs Forum that staff conducted last year, and the Development Guides, have really helped
improve the process. We need to build on that.” Adams said Campbell River City Hall has the benefit of experienced staff. “We have the expertise and talent right here in Campbell River that can share experiences from other communities that can make things simpler, easier and more cooperative for staff and the public wanting to do business here,” Adams said. “That will attract investment and encourage families and business to choose Campbell River.” Adams said that infrastructure issues and community planning need a second look as well. “There are infrastructure and storm water issues in both the east and the north areas that need to be considered,” Adams said. “And there is the revitalization of the downtown and improvements to the Campbellton area where some of the processes and regu-
lations may need to be revisited.” There’s also the issue of community growth. “Several years ago the city developed an extensive, award-winning Sustainable Official Community Plan. This community-based document guides development and infrastructure for growth of our city,” Adams said. “There are several key areas in the plan that need to be addressed. One is land use and where and how we identify and plan for residential growth.” Adams said council needs to determine whether the city should and could expand its southern, western or northern boundaries and what is required to make that happen. He said for the time being, however, it’s clear that the city’s neighbours to the south are not amenable to joining the city. In a referendum this past June, an overwhelming 589 people voted no, while 110 voted yes to joining
Campbell River in order to take advantage of the city’s sewer service. “The recent referendum in Area D clearly stated the desire of Area D residents that they are not interested in growth and development within the electoral area to the south,” Adams said. But he’s still hoping that a painless, straightforward and simple development application and approval process will attract and encourage “families and business to choose Campbell River as a place to live, work and play.”

Our View
Low oil prices will challenge Canadian economy The plummeting price of oil may have a big impact on the Canadian and B.C. economies in the next year or two. We say: Falling Some of that will be positive, but it is likely that it will be mainly negative. oil prices mean The price of gasoline (but not diesel a reduction in fuel) is falling, and that means more money in the pockets of consumers. growth This helps them meet other obligations, such as rent, credit card bills and child care. If the provincial and regional governments can avoid the temptation to tax
this newly-found money out of people’s pockets, the fall in prices will be a good thing. One other bright spot may be a boost in exports if the dollar remains low. The negative implications are widespread. There will almost certainly be a fall in economic activity, and particularly jobs. Many well-paying jobs are concentrated in the oilsands. Many Campbell River residents either work there or work for companies that supply the oilsands. There will be no new construction projects in that area, as long as oil prices stay at the $60 to $70 per barrel level. It simply costs too much to produce oil from the oilsands. As eco-
nomic activity is reduced, it impacts taxation to the federal and provincial governments. Alberta, Saskatchewan, Newfoundland and B.C. all are dependent on revenue from oil and natural gas. In B.C., one LNG project has been delayed by the falling price of oil, as Asian natural gas prices are tied to oil prices. More could be delayed or even cancelled. It is significant that none of the major LNG players are ready to commit. A fall in economic activity likely means that 2015 will see much lower growth than anticipated, which won’t help the overall Canadian economy. -Black Press
Letters
Judge and jury From all reports, Suzanne Cote brings an eminent legal background to her new role as a Justice on the Supreme Court of Canada. It is quite a paradox, then, that the recent appointment of the insightful Ms. Cote to the Court was done in such a cheap and arbitrary way. In the past number of years, there have been both a hearing process and a Selections Panel in place, in which all parties in the House of Commons could confer with the legal community and participate in the short-listing and screening of candidates for appointment to our highest court. Not any longer. In yet another move to consolidate power and silence debate, Prime Minister Harper has now twice bypassed both the hearing and the panel process, thus squelching this wider, valuable input into these crucially important appointments. This is shameful, and exactly the opposite of the transparency and accountability Mr. Harper was first elected on. This begs the question: Are we simply to accept that “that was then, but this is now?” Kent Macaulay Quadra Island We welcome your opinions on stories and issues published in our pages as well as issues of broader concern encountered elsewhere.

Focus on togetherness, not things, this holiday season
Mike Davies
Mike’s Musings On Twitter: @PaperguyDavies
miked@campbellrivermirror.com
If you were born anytime before about 1987, you’ll know that sometime in the 1980s Folgers Coffee began running their iconic “Peter Comes Home For Christmas” commercial, where a man breaks into his parents’ house (okay, it looked like the door was probably unlocked), and is met by a young girl who welcomes him and tells him “Everyone’s asleep.” He tells her “Shhhh, I know how to wake them up,” and they make coffee together, the smell of which wakes up the rest of the house. The family comes downstairs to find a clearly-unexpected Peter, their now-adult child, and they celebrate being together for the holidays – and coffee.
Despite the terrible acting, the message is the one that has stuck with me through all these years, and likely will to the end of my days. It’s the message I got (maybe not directly expressed in words, but it was there) from my family as I grew up, too. This season is not about the pile of gifts under the tree or the new car with the big bow on it in the driveway (has anyone else always wondered if you actually get one of those bows if you buy a car in December?). At least it shouldn’t be. It’s not even the look on a child’s face as they unwrap that gift that makes it special – despite that definitely being one of the best parts of the season. It’s being there to see it. The gift of
being there is the best gift of all. I remember my first Christmas away from my family. I was maybe 24. I thought it would be fine. I told myself it didn’t matter, because, thankfully, I was with another family who welcomed me like one of their own – but it wasn’t the same. All I wanted for Christmas that year was to be with my mom and dad, the way it had always been, and I would have traded any and all of the painstakingly-wrapped gifts I received that year and the next (and the next) in order to have had that opportunity. After we’d opened gifts and had breakfast that year, I wandered in the snow and cried most of the day. Think about that while you’re out fin-
ishing off your shopping this year. No, don’t think of a 24 year-old me wandering in the snow wiping tears off his face – that would be super weird – but think about whether you get be with the people you want to be with this season. If not, think about whether you can remedy that, even if it means fewer gifts for people. Because I guarantee the people you’re buying for would rather see you happy than own whatever it is you’d be wrapping for them, and you’ll be happier this holiday season if you’re with the people you love. Thanks, Folgers (and Mom and Dad). Now, where’s my coffee?

10 More Quadra properties want sewers Studio Hair2x2 & Esthetics Reporter
KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Two more Quadra Island properties want in on new sewer service. The Strathcona Regional District (SRD) board of directors was expected to decide at a meeting Thursday, after the Mirror went to press, whether to include two additional properties on Pidcock Road in the sewer extension boundaries. Russ Hotsenpiller, chief administrative officer of the SRD, said adding the extra properties won’t affect costs for the original 36 properties online to receive sewer service. “An analysis of construction cost estimates has confirmed that the addition of the two properties can be accommodated within the extension project without impacting the per property cost ceiling offered to the original 36 properties,” Hotsenpiller wrote in a report to the board. “This would be con-

ditional on a further proportionate infusion of Gas Tax funding from Electoral Area C. “The owners of the properties in question are aware of the cost implications associated with inclusion to the extension project boundaries.” An infusion of $392,400 in federal Gas Tax funds towards the cost of the sewer project has the original 36 properties paying $9,100 plus an additional cost to hook up their property to the sewer line which will vary from home to home. Before the Gas Tax funds were applied, though, the properties were looking at having to pay $16,630. A petition in May 2012, to gauge support for the project at the more expensive, $16,630 cost, failed with only 30 per cent of affected residents signing in support of the project. That changed this past July when the regional district offered

the lower cost and instead hosted a referendum. In that referendum, 18 people voted in favour while 15 voted against. The 55 per cent affirmative vote was enough to go ahead with the $720,000 project. Abram said after the referendum that the sewer expansion, which will get properties in the foreshore and Pidcock Road areas of Quadra Island, as well as on Heriot Bay Road, off of septic systems, will benefit the entire community.

“It’ ll ser ve some people who really, really need the service because of failing septic systems and it’ll be a benefit to the environment,” Abram said. That appears to have resonated with at least a few Quadra Islanders. In addition to the two properties seeking to be included on Pidcock Road, two other properties on Green Road applied in September to also join the sewer service area. Hotsenpiller said the main reason for those requests was “troublesome on-site sewage

New SD72 Board of Trustees sworn in Qualify as a3x3.5 Human MIKE DAVIES
CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
There wasn’t much business to attend to at the inaugural meeting of the School District 72 (SD72) 2014-2018 Board of Trustees – other than making its members official. SD 7 2 S e c re t r ar y Tresurer Kevin Patrick opened the meeting Tuesday night in the Chair at the head of the table, thanked those in attendance and read the names of those who won seats on the board in the recent municipal election. Those names are (in alphabetical order): Ted Foster, Richard Franklin, John Kerr, Gail Kirschner (Sayward Val-
ley), Joyce McMann and Susan Wilson (Quadra Region), who then took their oath of office as a group. Patrick then asked for nominees for the position of Chair of the Board for the first year of the term. Trustee Hagen nominated Trustee Wilson for the position, she accepted that nomination, and was then acclaimed as Chair, as no other members were nominated. “Thank you for your vote of confidence,” Wilson said. “I am pleased to accept the position and I want to say how much I recognize that the board is a team, and I really look forward to working with the new trustees, our returning
trustees, as well as our fabulous senior management team and all of the support staff who do so much for us behind the scenes. “Looking ahead, I believe I can speak for the whole board when I say that we look forward to continuing to develop a really effective working relationship with our educational partners, characterized by respect, transparency, communication and consultation, and working together, always putting our students first. I think it’s going to be a wonderful year and term.” She replaced Patrick at the head of the table, but almost immediately had to vacate that seat temporarily to nominate
McMann for the position of Vice Chair. Foster was also nominated for that position by Trustee Hagen, and won the seat in a board vote. The meeting was then adjourned, with the next sitting scheduled for Jan. 20 at 7 p.m. at the SD72 office on Pinecrest Road beside Rod Brind’Amour Arena.

CHEERS FOR DO-GOODERS
Donation charges SPCA InPower BC, through ASL-JV, and BC Hydro have teamed together to provide a $1,500 donation to the Campbell River SPCA, as a result of the construction work at the John Hart project. “Our contractor needs water to support their drilling equipment to excavate the new tunnel and generating station, and ASL-JV came to us about the possibility of pulling water off the John Hart penstock,” says BC Hydro’s Stephen Watson. “In any potential agreement with a third party, BC Hydro must be compensated for water withdrawn that would otherwise be used for power generation. Given the small amount of water calculated over the next few years, and the order of magnitude of the compensation,
Oil (change) money

both parties agreed it would be best to donate the funds to a local charity.” “We’re glad to make this donation to the local SPCA,” says Scott Marshall, project manager for ASL-JV, the civil
contractor on the John Hart project. “Our crews are members of the community and we want to support Campbell River where we can.” The agreement is good news for the SPCA who recently opened a new
location on 13th Ave. “ The B CSPCA is strictly funded by donations – community support like this is the most important thing for us to continue to operate,” said Stephanie Arkwright, Campbell River SPCA.

Writers’ Workshop guides you through the craft of biography, memoir and fiction Are you writing a biography, family history, memoir or fiction—and want the support of fellow scribes? The Museum at Campbell River is presenting a bi-monthly Writers’ Workshop this winter, Jan. 24 through March 21, 2015, from 1:30–4 p.m. Each session will have a specific theme. Instructor Jeanette Taylor will guide participants through writing exercises and discussion about ways to engage readers, craft elegant sentences and create vibrant scenes with lifelike characters. There will be plenty of writing time in class, with exercises that advance participants’ writing projects. They will also engage in facilitated peer reviews to gage reader response and share their insights with classmates. Taylor has four books in print, including River City, A History of Camp-
bell River & the Discovery Islands and BC Bestseller Tidal Passages. She teaches writing classes and workshops in the north island with her colleague Annette Yourk and manages a writing service called The Scribes. Most of the subjects to be covered in the workshop will be based on the book “The Making of a Story,” which is a required purchase for the workshop. For those who are still at the ideas stage of a writing project, Taylor will team up with Annette Yourk to present an introductory session on January 11 on Quadra Island. “The focus here,” says Taylor, “is an overview of a book project. We’ll talk about ways to hone your research, plan a narrative, and get launched.” There is an additional fee of $30 for this, says Taylor, which includes

Grad Sleepover: one last chance to indulge in childhood CHeylyn louGHeed Carihi Mirror
The Grad Sleepover is an annual tradition for Grade 12 students, one where the upcoming graduates have an opportunity that isn’t often given: to forget about the stresses of graduation and break loose within the halls of their school. Although for some, it holds a heavier, more sentimental meaning. “The sleepover’s sort of a rite of passage. It’s also really great for bringing the grad class together and allowing them to socialize,” said Alexei Hauser.
The night included numerous activities, such as movies, a giant Twister mat, and an even larger costumed Dodgeball tournament. But according to Jane Kolmatycki, one of the original hosts of the sleepover, it didn’t start out that way. “It was an idea that I came up with about 10 years ago. I just love ‘doing grad’ so much and I was thinking about how much fun it might be to have a night of curling up in sleeping bags, all lying in the multipurpose room and watching movies,” Mrs. K, as the students affectionately call her, said. “The first
year it was only about 60 kids, and that is what we did – watched movies all night. Some slept, some didn’t.” Since then, the number of students attending has grown, with about 120 kids each year. Although they arrive with various sleeping accessories, many make it a personal mission to avoid sleep – even if it means crashing in class or in the hallway the next day. “ The day after sleepover is one of the most relaxing days. It is one where some teachers just schedule a whole block of sleeping and throughout the halls, that is what you see: students
sleeping and wandering around completely dazed. Not to mention the exhausted teachers that stay up with the students,” Alysha Wall, a Grad Exec. said. Despite the unavoidable loss of sleep, it’s completely worth it to Kolmatycki. “I get so many comments from parents about how wonderful it is to see kids having such innocent fun, just like elementary school, which is what we want to do – recreate that childhood experience one more time before they all leave for the great big world.”
The Grad Sleepover was a chance to releax and have some fun for graduating students.
Plenty of opportunity for students to get involved in causes at Carihi Great Hamilton Carihi Mirror
It is hard not to be engaged with the community as a Carihi student. There are many clubs and organizations to be involved with at the school. To profile one of them, Carihi’s Global
connection group, I sat down with former Carihi Mirror journalist Tara Warkentin to talk about the club and projects she is spearheading. “I wanted to have a medium for creating positive change and getting to know what’s going on in the world a little bit more,” Warkentin said. “I
had a conversation with my friend who said ‘I feel so sad and helpless when I hear about tankers or pipelines, or anything that’s going on,’ and I thought ‘hey, I feel helpless too.’ But I don’t feel sad because I don’t feel connected. So I wanted to feel more connected to things going on outside

of our [insular] world.” Currently, the club is working with Amnesty International as a base to write letters of appeal for relief of people in human rights-violation cases around the world. On Wednesday, Dec. 10, the group took part in “Write for Rights,” a worldwide letter writing event doing just what was mentioned above. “[As a club] we’ve written a few letters of appeal. But basically with Write for Rights there are seven cases and Amnesty collects signatures and letters and words of appeal for those cases. So there’s going to be big sheets of paper for three of the cases. And every class in the school will read an article on each of the cases, then write a few sentences down for whichever case they feel most passionate about. At lunch, there will be a table set up where any-
one can come write a few things if they didn’t get the chance to in class. Then the sheets are sent to whomever has authority over the cases.” Other goals for the year include Skyping with a school in India, to talk to students their age and find out some of the similarities and differences in their education and lifestyle. Once connected with the school in India, Carihi global connections would find issues in the community or school they could help the students in India with. This includes a garden at the school, goats at a local orphanage, one long-term goal was even access to contraception. These goals would be met through various fundraising events and letter writing. At Carihi, there is no excuse to be apathetic about community or global issues.

Minium wage impacts Carihi students Breagha ZakaiB CARIhI MIRROR
In November there was campaign held by B.C.’s Federation of Labour to pressure the provincial government into raising B.C.’s current minimum wage of $10.25 an hour to $15. The jump in wage would affect everyone. Some people are all for it. “I think minimum wage should be increased, and not just because I’m a teenager, there are a lot of people trying to live off $10.25 an hour and take up multiple jobs just to live comfortably,” Kaija Howse said. Lots of people agree, but find $15 is a big jump. “Why not $12.50, meet halfway,” asked Paige Wagner. She also mentioned the cost of living, and so did Spencer Makus.
“Everything else such as food and basic necessities will get raised again, taxes will increase,” Makus said. Others look at the possible raise a bit differently and think it might not be fair. “There are people who went through university for a couple years to be able to make 15 dollars an hour, and now people who didn’t care to get an education, and have a minimum wage job are surprised they can’t support themselves,” Nicole Reusch said. Those not for the increase, don’t see the minimum wage jobs as career positions, and find the pay acceptable based on the working standards. “If you feel like you’re making less than you should be, ask for a raise. You shouldn’t expect one if you’re not willing to work for it. It should be

earned, not handed to you,” Joey Sidhu said. A supervisor at Moxies mentioned the servers get paid even less than minimum wage. This is because it’s standard for most people to leave a tip, but not all
do: “Everyone should be paid equal. When you’re only making $9 an hour and someone doesn’t tip you it makes for a pretty sad night, let alone paycheck. “That being said, $15 is a lot to ask for.” The owners of small independent businesses find themselves in danger if the minimum wage was to be bumped up. They say that they wouldn’t be able to have as many employees, or if I did they wouldn’t get as many hours. I would be working more often to try and keep my business running. The cost of living is steep; especially in B.C. Bringing the minimum wage up to $15 an hour would make it the highest in the country. However, no matter the possible increase, there will be both positives and negatives.
Is there a cure for the student cell phone Claire Billings CARIhI MIRROR
Cell Phones are an everyday item found in almost every home. Whether used for work or personal use, a cell phone is clutched in the hands of most Canadians, in fact, according to statistics Canada, 83 per cent of Canadians own and use cell phones. Teenagers have a particularly bad reputation for having a cell phone addiction. Regardless of what they are doing, they always seem to have a phone in their hands. “I notice people spending more time with their phones and other electronic devices than the people they’re with,” says Carihi student Matt Reise.
Students check their cell phones.
Reise isn’t the only one who notices this. “Honestly, I’m too busy on my own phone to notice how much other people use theirs,” admits Katie Crombie, Robron student, “but if someone is standing right in front of you, who took the time out of their day to put all of their attention on that specific conversation,

they are far more worthy than tapping on a keyboard to someone across town. It’s almost like I’ll get more attention and an actual conversation if I put my opinion on Facebook or send it through a text.” “Technology made it easy for us to stay in touch while keeping a distance,” says Hailey Anderson, a Timberline
student. “But now, we just keep the distance and don’t bother to keep in touch,” Most teens have a really hard time putting down their phones, but what about adults? You don’t often hear as much about the negative cell phone habits the average parent has. “Between work, volunteer and social commitments, my phone is always close,” says Kirsten Billings, mother of two. “Dinner time is the one time in our home where cell phones are always put away. It’s often the only opportunity we have to sit down as a family. We don’t need the distractions of cell phones. “As hard as it is for us all to put our phones down, it’s crucial we communicate as a family,”
Vending machines: not the place to get a real meal evan Johansen CARIhI MIRROR
Seldom is there a l i ne up at ve nd i ng machines placed around the two highschools in Campbell River, Timberline Secondary and Carihi Secondary. Of course, most students choose to go to the cafeteria for their lunches, but a lot of kids have studying to do and can’t afford to wait in long lineups to get their food. That’s where vending machines come in. “The prices are way too high, and I don’t think that there are enough nutritional things. I only go there for the junk food anyways,” Says Aislinn Delorme. If you walk through the halls during class time you may find the vending machines being restocked, and by the end of the day they’re near empty again. Where do kids find all the time to buy food and drinks from them? Lucy Rairie, a student at Timberline Secondary, says, “bags of chips with only a few in them run us $2 at my school, and they’re always out of water. I’ve never seen that much healthy stuff in them.” Although they may be full of candy bars, bags of chips, and diet pops, kids are concerned about their health if they buy too much from the vending machines. Sometimes they want a more healthy option. This may encourage

them to pack a lunch to bring to school, but often kids don’t have the time. “Honestly, I think the prices are fine for everything except water. But I don’t think that there are enough options for kids wanting to eat healthier,” says Julianna Yates. Hy d r at i o n i s a n important part of concentration and function throughout a tiring school day, but in a pinch the money for water may not be worth it, pushing kids to buy a diet soda instead. “At Timberline, almost all of the food sold is more unhealthy and meant for snacks. I don’t always buy from them because of how unhealthy it is, even though the prices are fair,” Sayde Coffill states. When it boils down to it, vending machines are really just for snacks.

It’s looking a lot like Christmas at the Museum at Campbell River. More than 20 Christmas trees, decorated by local businesses, nonprofit organizations and Campbell River families, are on display at the Island Highway location as of Nov. 28 for the second annual Festival of Trees. The grand opening of the event was held that Friday night to correspond with the annual Big Truck Parade. The public was invited to mix and mingle at the museum, bring a chair and watch the lighted trucks go by on the highway while sharing in

“Events like this reflect the changing community and engaging with it on another level.” Parrish said that museums have struggled in the past to define themselves as something other than just a place that holds historical relics or places of academic study, but the Museum at Campbell River has historically viewed itself as much more of a pillar within the community, rather than just an archival holding place. “We have a long histor y of community engagement,” she said, “and we’re continuing to build these ongoing relationships constantly. This is another way to do that.” The Festival of Trees is in place for the entire month of December (closed Christmas Day and Boxing Day) for the public to come out and enjoy. The museum is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

cutting ceremony. We are going to celebrate two things – the new Campbell River Seniors’ Centre Society, and process by which it came into being. It is a remarkable story of partnership. There are so many people to acknowledge. The small group who advocated for the seniors' centre, the elected officials that were receptive to their proposals, and the outstanding work of the city staff, especially that of the city recreation department and the property department. We are grateful to Mr. A Edie who donated to us extra space for programs and who has shared his business expertise during the renovations. A great story of collaboration in the community with a great outcome for us. Lots to celebrate so come down and be part of it. I want to make the most out

What to do with my investments in retirement? By Glen Clark, Sun Life Financial
It is a common question and one worth thinking about. Most people when they reach the point of retirement and especially the magical age of 71 where you MUST start to withdraw your RRSP money have the same concern. The concern is that they no longer want to be affected by interest rates on investments and just want the simplicity and assurance of their capital preservation or better yet a guaranteed income. There are many things to consider however when you are making these decisions. How much do I have? How long will it last at the rates of guaranteed products? Will there be any left for my estate? What taxation bracket will I be in? Who’s got the best rates? What fees am I paying? What access do I have to my money should I need more? What do I do with it once I pull it out of RRSP’s if I don’t need the money? These are all valid questions and good questions. Planning is the first step to answering these questions. Maybe an annuity is right for you, maybe it’s not too. There is no one size fits all when it comes to money management and nor should there be. There is nothing wrong with a GIC, if it’s a GIC that best suits your financial needs and risk tolerance. When did you last review your plan and retirement needs? It’s the end of the calendar year and it’s a great time to be planning for 2015!

BOOMERS & Beyond How senior donors can avoid scams Con artists masquerading as charities can victimize anyone, but seniors are especially vulnerable to such criminals. Men and women who perpetrate charitable fraud often target older men and women, feeling that

seniors are more likely to have a significant amount of money in their bank accounts and less likely to report crimes for fear of embarrassment. But even if seniors are prime targets for charitable fraud, they still can take steps to safeguard themselves from scammers looking to exploit their generosity. • Never donate over the phone. No reputable charity will insist on a donation over the phone. When a person calls and says they represent a charity, they should be willing to send you information in the mail so you can further explore their organization before making your final decision. If a caller attempts to pressure you into donating
over the phone, hang up. • Keep a list of organizations you have donated to in the past. Many people who perpetuate charitable fraud reference a past relationship or donation history between their victims and the charity the criminal is claiming to represent. Maintain a list of your donation history, including the organizations you have donated to and the amount of those donations. This can help you verify if the person calling, emailing or visiting you is telling the truth. • Do not feel obligated to give. Many charities send gifts to their donors as a token of appreciation for their support. Some criminals masquerading as charities will send gifts to potential victims in an attempt to fool them into
Quality care you can trust.
Before making a charitable donation, donors are often notified that their contact information is likely to be sold to or traded with other charities. This can lead to an influx of charitable solicitations that elderly men and women may find overwhelming. So prior to making a donation, speak directly with the charity and insist that none of your information be shared with other charities or organizations. If this cannot be arranged, find an organization willing to make such a concession and contribute to that charity instead. • Ask for help. If you are confused when it comes time to make your annual donations, ask a son, daughter or trusted confidante for help so you can rest easy knowing your donation goes where you intend for it to go.

writing a check. Whether a charity is legitimate or not, seniors should not feel obligated to donate simply because they received a gift. If you receive a gift and want to donate, confirm that the organization that sent you the gift is legitimate and not an imposter organization that is baiting you with a gift. If the gift was accompanied by a donation form, do not fill out that form, choosing instead to make a direct donation via the organization's website, a site you should find independent of the mailer/gift you received, or mail a check directly to the organization after you independently confirm its address, be it through your own research or by contacting the Better Business Bureau (www.bbb.org). • Insist that your personal information is not shared.

BOOMERS & Beyond Give the gift of happiness What could be a better way to add sparkle to the eyes and heart of a senior than to share a happy holiday moment with them? The simple gesture of stopping by to say “hello” is a gift of happiness that will stand
out among the token gifts and Christmas cards this year. Just think of those long-ago visits to your own grandparents’ at Christmas time: the delicious smell of sweets baking, the old family Christmas decorations hanging from the tree, and songs and stories from times gone by. Just close your eyes and remember the cozy atmosphere and yummy treats created with such loving care by your grandmother. In return for those great memories, you could take some
time from your busy holiday schedule to bring your own children to see their grandparents, or maybe even their great-grandparents, for a pre-Christmas visit. An elderly neighbour might also love to have a chance to see you for a cup of tea and sweets. If you’re going to be visiting grandparents for the holidays, be sure to arrive the day before so you can help Gran prepare the meal for the next day while Grandpa entertains the kids. Bring whatever you can to help out: some of your own baked goods or some cider or wine. Seeing your children’s smiles

as they learn the secrets of Grandma’s cranberry sauce will warm your heart. The next day, dress to the nines for dinner and be sure to help out
in the kitchen at clean-up time. The presence of family is a wonderful gift to offer your children as well. After all, true happiness is being able to spend some time with the ones we love, time that will create
unforgettable memories. That is why it is so important to create the occasions where we can renew the ties that bind us to our families and to the older generation.

Dec 20 marks the day before the Winter Solstice. The word “solstice” comes from the Latin words for “sun” and “to stand still.” The sun’s path has reached its most northern hemisphere. A few days before and after the winter solstice, the
change is so slight that the sun’s path seems to stand still. Throughout history, humans have observed this seasonal milestone and created spiritual and cultural traditions to celebrate the rebirth of sunlight after the darkest period of the year. The winter sol-
stice was also the time when most cattle were slaughtered (so they would not have to be fed during the winter) and the majority of wine and beer was finally fermented. A village would have most of their meat at this time of year, accompanied with the wine and beer, which
turned into festivals of fire, dance, and song. In our modern times the Centre for Spiritual Living is holding its 12 Annual Celebration of Light on December 20th!It is a magical tradition for Campbell Riverites and Quadra Island folks of all ages. Noelle Maffin will be
providing her beautiful music to celebrate Light, Power, Beauty, Peace, Love, Life, and Joy. Noelle was born and raised in Campbell River and began her music career at the age of 3.She attended the famed Grant MacEwan College and received her music diploma. She
is now delving into the power of prayer and finding inspiration in New Thought music and is dedicated to use her voice to spread the message of peace and Oneness. Entertainment is followed by a gratitude circle and potluck finger appys and des-
serts Everyone is welcome to bring a dish of their choice and join us in community. It is held at the Heritage Maritime Museum, starting at 7 p.m., doors open at 6:30. Donations are most welcome. For more information: www.cslcampbellriver.org

Tyees facing adversity The Panago Midget Tyees have been playing, and winning, with the big tier one teams of the Island, and until recently, were leading their league. That ‘s changed following a hastily arranged make-up road trip that saw them face off against rival Juan De Fuca in Victoria. The trip marked the start of a four game skid. Facing final cuts and line-up decisions leading up to the Dec. 1 roster freeze, the team dealt with emotional tension, travel and injury and now face the kind of adversity that will make or break the team. The late November road trip from hell featured lost luggage, traveller’s flu, stolen passports, random security
the Tyees hosted the Saanich Braves. Reeling from three consecutive losses, and captain Tyson Goebel barely able to skate, the Tyees started Nic Kirshner in goal while Gage Crawford moved up to play with Travis Goodwin and Jake McKenzie. The move provided early dividends, but as the game wore on and with Goebel falling awkwardly and ultimately unable to continue, the Tyees seemed to lose their finish. With the Tyees going one-forseven on the power play and the Braves going two-for-five, the game was decided by special teams, and the Braves had a late empty-netter to win 5-2.

Port Alberni calms the Wave
The Campbell River Wave girls U13 rep soccer team played the Port Alberni Athletics last Sunday at the Cedar soccer pitch. G o a l ke ep er Kay la Lund was busy throughout the game with a constant barrage of shots from the Athletics. The first quarter of the game was played mostly in Wave territory, with the defence of Lavinia Rendall, Phenix Konrad, Emily McLean, Kate Regier, Haley Wingert and Tory Stewart kept busy. Solid support on the wing from Game Captain Sandrine Daniels allowed some shots on goal from Wave forwards Shelby Cyr and Amelia Nimmon. The
first half ended scoreless. The Athletics rallied after halftime with two goals. Lund made a couple amazing saves before the Athletics were able to sneak in another to make it 3-0 for Port Alberni. Shortly after, Nyla Haider stole possession of the ball and moved it up to Holly Crosby who used her speed to go up the field. Inara Jhawer had a beautiful goal on the short side to finally put the Wave on the board. But Port Alberni scored one more goal to end the game 4-1 in their favour. The Wave play a doubleheader against the Powell River Stingers next Sunday.

We spent a few days and he was tying a fly or I should say attempted to tie a fly. Day 4 came and he said I would rather watch you tie a fly. Today any tackle shop will have starter kits and they all carry materials to create your own flies. I purchased a grizzly cape in 1980 and many years later I’m still picking feathers.

rod and fishing a brown Woolly Bugger fly, he caught a 47-pound spring in the ocean. A few years ago I fished the Campbell River at thanksgiving and a lady mentioned she caught a 42-pound spring after a 45-minute battle. If you take your time and have the right gear, big fish can be landed. All local rivers in the area are high and muddy and will be unfishable until the rains ease up. A number of Campbell River anglers have been getting out on the salt and a propane heater can keep things warm while out fishing. Locals who fish the right tides can limit out within 45 minutes and fish around 12 to 14 pounds are being caught. On the fly, egg patterns are working on the local rivers and some nice fat cutties are hitting pink, orange and red flies. Catch and release these fish if hooked. Any silver bodied flies will work and the minnow imitations are working, as there is no bug hatch.

Winter springs are being caught at the Hump, Lighthouse and at Shelter Point and range in size anywhere 12 to 15 pounds. As we head into the second week of December there is lots of elbowroom in the fishing areas, where there is bait you can get a nice spring before Christmas. The daylight hours are shorter and those getting out can get a few fish within 2 hours. Small Tomic plugs and Gypsy or Coyote spoons are being used. Smaller boats getting out are fishing close to shore around Willow Point. There are a number of fishing guides who live in Campbell River and work at Lodges around the province, they take the winter off to go hunting then return to their lodge in early spring. The river anglers will be on the Stamp and Cowichan and many anglers from Campbell River and Courtenay will fish the south first and then fish closer to home when conditions get better with the current rain.

The Riptide were rewarded for their efforts though when Joe Dirom did some digging in a dirty area and found a way to hit a wide open Nathan Chow who deposited the ball into a wide open net from five yards out, making the score 2-0. Gorge’s best chance of the half came a few minutes later when a forward came barreling down the right side

Four senior wrestlers from Carihi and Timberline hit the mats for the first time this year in Abbotsford last weekend. All wrestled incredibly well against stiff competition to reach the podium. Conlan Foy of Timberline Secondary and Petro-Kindy Olson from Carihi each finished with a silver medal. Carihi students Alex Jinda (pictured above) and Hailey Dean each won a bronze medal. Next up, wrestlers from all four local schools with wrestling programs will travel to Duncan for the Cougar Invite.
Riptide sit in second place The Riptide U14 girls soccer team faced Juan de Fuca/Sooke on home turf Saturday for its ninth game of the VIPL season. Being the last league game in 2014, Riptide needed a win to advance in the standings going into the New Year. In the last two matchups with Juan de Fuca/ Sooke, Riptide earned a win and a tie so the team felt confident going in to the game and knew that, if they could overcome their recent somewhat dry spell in scoring, they would accomplish their goal of advancing past Upper Island Storm to take second place in the standings, just one point behind Saanich. Both teams started strong and focussed. Riptide maintained most of the ball possession and had excellent scoring opportunities, including two corner kicks and an angled shot that hit the goalpost but deflected
out. Fans were sure that Riptide was about to score any minute, but Juan de Fuca’s defence and keeper held strong and it was nil at the half. As it has often happened in games, Riptide scored within the first five minutes of the second half. Sophie L rose to the occasion not only to score the first goal of the game, but scored again about ten minutes later, capitalizing on a direct volley from Tiana Stewart in front of the net after a corner kick from Aisha Hunter-Bellavia. Then, in what was one of the most seamless passing plays of the game, defender Rosie Campbell fed the ball to Kaitlyn Dreger at midfield who found Frédérica Blouin-Comeau advancing on the left wing. Blouin-Comeau used her speed and ball handling skills to take advantage of her left kick, firing an angled shot to
beat the keeper and find the top of the net. That was the final goal of the game, earning Riptide a 3-0 win. Registering their fourth shutout, Riptide’s defensive line and keepers, Nicolette Vinnedge and Freyja Reed, held the total goals scored against the team in 2014 to ten. On behalf of the entire team and franchise, Co-Coaches Jim Stewart, Lisa Wigard, and Matt Laver would like to thank the community for its generous and consistent support and extend warm wishes for a Merry Christmas and joy, health, and prosperity in the New Year. The Riptide U14 Girls soccer team, sponsored by Lacasse Construction, resumes league play in a home game against Saanich on January 17.

Riptide: Boys roll over Gorge Continued from Pg. 28 the second half in a
and hammered a low shot that Riptide keeper Alex Weinstein dove to save and prevented any type of rebound for the onrushing Gorge players. The Riptide started
similar fashion to the first – buzzing all over Gorge’s end of the field. A hit goal post and crossbar prevented this game from being a blowout early on. Gorge were opportunists though, and
took full advantage of a poor clearance in the box, making the score 2-1. The Riptide’s response was swift, as Cameron Bell capitalized on a scramble in from of the net, to make the final score 3-1.
You’ve already made a very wise choice by establishing a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) and faithfully contributing to it for many years. Now it’s time to reap the rewards by using your plan funds as part (probably an important part) of your retirement income. And, if you’re turning 71 by the end of this year, you are required by law to wind down your RRSP before 2015. Either way, you have some important choices to make. You have three basic RRSP roll-over options to choose from and the right choices can help make the most of those funds through all your retirement years. These are your rollover options: • Cash out your plan. Definitely not recommended because you will likely be taxed on the total amount right away at your highest marginal rate. • A Registered Retirement Income Fund (RRIF) -- the preferred
roll-over choice for most Canadians. Just like an RRSP, a RRIF generates investment returns that combine with the principal amount to create an income stream. Your money will continue to grow tax free until you take it out as income. You can’t contribute any additional money to a RRIF and you’ll pay taxes on the amounts you withdraw. Depending on your age, you must withdraw minimum amounts from your RRIF each year but there is no limit on the maximum amount you can withdraw (although you won’t want to deplete your RRIF too soon). • Purchase an annuity -- the second most popular RRSP roll-over option. You contract with a financial institution to receive a regular income (usually monthly) for life or to a specified age in exchange for a fixed amount of money. There’s no need to manage the securities but your payments will be fixed and won’t increase to compensate for inflation or rising living costs. As well,
ensuring your make the right roll-over choices for your personal situation: First, start planning well in advance; and second, talk to your professional advisor about the best RRSP conversion options for you.

B.C. oil refinery backers move ahead Tom FleTcher Black Press
Backers of a third large oil refinery proposal for B.C.’s North Coast made some highprofile appointments Wednesday, naming former Assembly of First Nations national chiefs Shawn Atleo and Ovide Mercredi as advisors to their team. Pacific Future Energy, proposing what it calls the world’s greenest refinery near Prince Rupert, announced the appointments Wednesday at a Vancouver Board of Trade event hosted by Stockwell Day, the former Conservative trade minister who has been the group’s public face since August. Pacific Future’s proposal is similar to Kitimat Clean, a refinery bid launched in 2012 by David Black, chairman of Black Press, owner of this newspaper. Both would be constructed from modules manufactured offshore to produce diesel, gasoline and other fuels for sale, avoiding the transport of heavy oil by tankers to reach export markets. The third proposal is called Eagle Spirit Energ y, headed by aboriginal author and lawyer Calvin Helin with financial backing from the Aquilini Group, the Vancouver family business that owns the Vancouver Canucks and extensive real estate and farm holdings. Eagle Spirit is proposing a pipeline from the

Just Gas #3 Phone 830-WOOD (9663) 151 Dogwood, Campbell River
Alberta oil sands to an upgrader that would produce synthetic crude oil for export by tankers, likely from the Prince Rupert area. Black announced last week that engineering firm Hatch Ltd. has completed a design and feasibility study for a refinery at an estimated cost of $22 billion, making it one of the 10 biggest in the world. Black said in an interview he sees obvious similarities with the Pacific Future proposal, which describes new technology and carbon capture to reduce its environmental impact. Kitimat Clean proposes a new refining process that avoids production of petroleum coke, a coal-like byproduct of conventional heavy oil refining that is used in steel making. Black said the entry of Pacific Future, headed by an executive of Mexican conglomerate Grupo Salinas, shows the busi-
ness case for a B.C. refinery is sound and there is capacity for more than one plant. All proposals for B.C. North Coast refining await the fate of the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline project, which received a federal environmental certificate this year and awaits approval by the federal cabinet. All proposals also face opposition to pipeline and tanker transport of heavy oil. Pacific Future has appointed Atleo as a senior advisor for partnerships, months after Premier Christy Clark appointed him as an advisor for dialogue between First Nations, government and industry. Black said his next steps include negotiating “acceptable compensation” for his project with the Kitselas and Haisla First Nations for use of their traditional territory.

Advent season descends on the United Church
The season of Advent has arrived, and the community is invited to participate in a variety of activities and services at the Campbell River United Church. This Campbell River United Church hosted a Blue Christmas service on Wednesday. This joint Anglican and United Church service was prayerful and meditative and appealed to those who have experienced loss or are facing other challenges in their lives. On Saturday, Dec, 13, between 1 and 4 p.m. the church will be hosting Advent Adventures, an enjoyable afternoon of activities suitable for the whole family. There will be a Christmas craft, carolling and a tree to decorate, as well as delicious treats and hot chocolate. Together we will explore the meaning of Christmas and why Advent is the “waiting time.” Sunday morning worship on Dec. 21 will feature inspirational seasonal music presented by the church choir. The choir is directed by John Montgomery with Nicole Taylor accompanying on piano. The service begins at 10 a.m. On the evening of Wednesday, Dec. 24, there will be two Christmas Eve services. The familyoriented 7 p.m. candle lighting service is a joyous and carol-filled celebration of the arrival of the Christ Child. Those desiring a quieter, more contemplative experience are invited to attend the 10 p.m. service. Holy Communion will be shared at this time. Campbell River United Church is “an inclusive community centred in Christ” – everyone is welcome to any and all of these activities. The church is at the corner of Pinecrest and South Birch.

Kirsty’s Calendars support Congo projects Following the success of her presentations about bonobo communication styles at the Museum at Campbell River and the Quadra Community Centre this summer, Kirsty Graham and her voluntary organization, Kosepela, were able to send $1,000 to support community projects in Wamba, Democratic Republic of Congo. Campbell Riverraised Graham travels
to Wamba every year to research the behaviour of bonobos. She has come to know the members of the local community and has been welcomed to meetings of the local co-operatives where she has learned of plans for several important projects. Kosepela was created by Kirsty and her mother Carol (of Quadra Island) to offer support to these projects. Last year Kosepela raised $600 for a

Dan and Audrey moved to Quadra Island in 1961 and lived in Heriot Bay until they embarked on their next adventure and bought a farm in the Peace River area where Cyndi, Joel and their family had moved. He loved that farm and enjoyed the wide-open sky and rolling hills of the North Peace. He chose a beautiful crisp sparkling full moon night to make his journey. He will be profoundly missed by us all.

We will forever miss your footsteps, as they settled on the oor. The camouage eece jackets that we know that you adored. A heart as big as Nootka, so generous and deep, The way your boat and tackle, were anything but neat. You loved, you lived, you learned, mistakes you made a few. But your life was lived by no-one; it was always lived by you. Your lust for life was echoed in everything you did, In every family moment, and in every business bid. Now, your lazy boy sits empty, the “nucksâ€? don’t hear your calls, But we remember life beside you, standing ďŹ rm and standing tall. A father, friend, and grandpa, the memory passed on. Forever in our hearts from darkest dusk, to morning dawn Written by: Cindy Handyside We’re missing you a little more each time we hear your name, We’ve cried so many tears, yet are heart’s broken just the same. We miss our times together, things in common we could share But nothing ďŹ lls the emptiness now that you’re no longer here. We have so many precious memories to last our whole life through. Each of them reminders of how much we are missing you. Always in our thought, Forever in our hearts.

The RCMP enforced the evacuation order. The flooding also led to numerous road closures and traffic diversions around Ryan Road
and elsewhere Meanwhile, on Thursday, the Comox Valley Regional District (CVRD), in conjunction with Island Health, issued a boil water advisory. Due to the intense rainfall experienced over the last several days, turbidity levels have risen in both Comox Lake and the Puntledge River. The water that supplies
the Comox Valley water local service areas originates in Comox Lake and is taken from the Puntledge River and delivered to approximately 41,000 residents. All users of the Comox Valley water system (especially those with compromised immune systems), are advised to boil their drinking water for one minute at a rolling boil.

Sand and bags are
available through the city’s Dogwood Operations Centre. Those who need them should bring a shovel to 385 Dogwood St. and start filling bags.

This flow level caused an upgrading of the previous Flood Watch to a Flood Alert for the area, including the Glenmore subdivision and tributaries of the Oyster River that affect the York Road area. The Strathcona Regional District has arranged for people to get sandbags from Mike Oviatt Gravel Yard, located at 4771 Lewis Road (at the corner of Lewis and Hoover Roads), and is asking for people to report flooding to the district at 250-8366700.

Left: As happens during seemingly every weather event, 16th Avenue between Ironwood and Maple Street was closed to traffic for much of the week (though that didn’t stop people from using it if they had the ground clearance to do so). Middle row: The Oyster River broke its alltime flow rate this week, bursting its banks and sending water into the Pacific Playgrounds RV Park and Marina (bottom left). Bottom right: They’re nice to look at (and photograph), but the waves Tuesday morning brought a lot of debris up onto the seawalk and made a mess of some beaches, as well.
