Realtors come through for Head Injury Support Society
A $1000 donation from Vancouver Island Real Estate Board was presented (pictured right) to Shelley Howard of the Head Injury Society by Reg Eaton and Cholene Begin, representatives of the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board. The Campbell River Head Injury Support Society has been a registered non-profit charitable organization since 2000. They are open five days a week with programs running most days. They have a membership of over 210 survivors and caregivers and continually grows. Their main objective is to help the survivors
and their families live productive and prosperous lives by offering programs that will strengthen their skills, better understanding of brain injury, finding coping skills and fellowship. A brain injury can happen at any time, anywhere, at any age and in
different ways; strokes, brain tumors, falls, concussions, automobile accidents, work related accidents and sports, just to name a few. For more information about what they offer in programming and about brain injury, visit www. crhead.ca

Cameryn’s Cause supported Shayleen Harris, Cameryn’s mother, founded the Society in Cameryn’s memory to help local families reach lifesaving medical treatment beyond Campbell River. “Cameryn’s Cause provides financial assistance to local families who have a child with a lifethreatening illness, or acute illness or injury, or help with expenses when a child passes away,” said Harris. “It’s truly a community project, and we’re fortunate to live in a town that has such a generous spirit.” Since its inception, Cameryn’s Cause has helped support 80 other Campbell River families. It has also provided financial aid for the funerals of eight chil-
dren. Supported by a seven-member board of directors and dozens of volunteers, Cameryn’s
Cause hosts a wide variety of fundraising events. VIREB Director Cholene Begin (pictured
above), representing the REALTORS of Campbell River, presented the cheque to Harris Oct. 8.

PROCESS Thanks! The staff at Alitis Investment Counsel celebrate being named a semifinalist for Best Company through the Small Business BC Awards.
Company makes the semis A Campbell River company has made the cut in the annual Small Business BC Awards. A l it is Inve st me nt C ou ns e l h a s b e e n announced as one of the semi-finalists for an award. Alitis, a portfolio management company headquartered in Campbell River, is nominated in the top 10 for Best Company. Alitis is one of more than 440 companies from 70 communities across the province nominated for the 2015 Small Business BC Awards. Nominations opened on Oct. 1 and were whittled down in December to the semifinalists. Cecil BaldryWhite, chief executive officer of Alitis, said the company has really grown since its origins. “When me and my business partner, Terry Gwilliam, created this company in Campbell River in 2009, after the stock market crash of 2008, it was with the distinct vision of giving investors stable returns with less risk,” BaldryWhite said in a release. “Alitis has done this by adding meaningful allocations of alternative
investments to create safer and solid performing portfolios as an alternative to the traditional stock/bond approach. Sometimes people think that big ideas cannot come from a small business or a small city. This nomination, along with the support of our clients, business partners, community and team, is proof that innovative approaches can come from anywhere and from anyone. We are very proud to be from Campbell River.” The top ten semifinalists must now complete an extended award application which will be used to narrow down the competition to the top five finalists in each category. The top five finalists in the categories will be announced on Jan. 30. The winners will be honoured on Feb. 26 at the Small Business BC Awards Ceremony at the Pan Pacific Hotel in Vancouver. Since its inception in 2003, the annual Small Business BC Awards have become one of the largest and most widelyrecognized contests in British Columbia. The awards acknowledge the “One call, and we’ll do it all”

Remember when the perfect picture of retirement was a grandmotherly woman and a grandfatherly man sitting on a porch knitting and whittling away their sunset years? Well, maybe that was once an accurate depiction of retirement but it certainly isn’t today. Today’s retirees are active and looking forward to many years of excitement, fulfillment and fun! What have you got planned for retirement – travel to terrific locations, RV-ing across the continent, volunteering for your favourite charity, adding to your education, or even starting a new business? Whatever your retirement plans, you need a few things to make your retirement dreams come true: good health, a positive attitude and, of course, money. That’s
why you’ve built your retirement savings for so many years – because you know your good financial health is essential if you want your third age to be as wonderful, personal and fun-filled as you wish. Sure, you’ll have to use some of your nest egg income to cover essential expenses for food, health care, utilities and other everyday living costs. But how you choose to use the rest of your money is entirely up to you. The key is to make sure you have enough money to fund your essential needs and fun interests – whatever they may be -- for all your retirement years. And that takes planning – the same kind of planning that went into building your retirement nest egg in the first place. Your retirement financial plan should make sure your hardearned investments last longer and go farther. It should ensure
a steady, predictable cash flow that will cover all your expenses. And that means being very selective about your investment options. Talk to your professional advisor about the best ways to cash in on the retirement of your dreams – and keep them wellfunded for life. Want to know how ready you are for retirement and how to get the most out of your retirement years? Go to www. investorsgroup.com and take the interactive Investors Group Retirement Readiness™ Quiz. It’s a great way to assess your emotional, financial, social and physical preparedness for retirement. And don’t forget to have fun.

2015: The year of climate adaptation It’s time to look beyond the protests and political battles around climate change that dominated 2014, and look at the year and the decade ahead. From the California drought to shifting forest patterns across B.C., there is evidence that our climate is changing more rapidly. Public debate consists mainly of squabbling about the significance of human-caused greenhouse gas emissions, rather than what can be done to prepare. A draft discussion paper from the B.C. forests ministry on wildfire control was released in December after an access to information request. “Climate Change Adaptation and Action Plan For Wildfire Management, 2014-2024” describes the progress made in the province’s community forest fire prevention plan, and its goal to create “wildfire resilient ecosystems and wildfire adapted communities” over the next 10 years. The final discussion paper is to be released early in 2015, but the key research is in. It estimates that by 2017 there will be 788 million cubic metres of dead pine Tom Fletcher in B.C. forests. Fires in these B.C. Views areas spread 2.6 times faster than in healthy green stands, up to 66 metres per minute. The report calls for fuel management beyond community boundaries to stop “mega-fires” by creating landscape-level fuel breaks, with targeted harvesting, prescribed burning and new silviculture practices. It notes that bark beetle infestations and bigger, hotter fires are being seen across North America, with costs rising along with urban development. For example, the 2011 Slave Lake fire in northern Alberta generated the second largest insurance charge in Canadian history. The costs of preparing are huge. The costs of not preparing could be catastrophic.

I’ve given up on making New Years resolutions
Alistair Taylor
Out On A Limb @AlstrT editor@campbellrivermirror.com
So, here we are on the eve of the New Year, time for a column on resolutions. I like our Irice cartoon today where our main character makes a list of resolutions that he’s actually going to attain. That’s me to a T. But the new year is dawning and it’s always a time of beginnings. Or, at least, an opportunity to start anew. I’m not going to be formally announcing any resolutions. Sure, I may try yet again to lose some weight. And, definitely, I’m going to get more exercise. I didn’t finish that book I had resolved to write in 2014 but I’ll take a stab at it in 2015.

I have no plans to go anywhere or take up a new job. I might buy a new house, or I might continue renovating the old one. We’ll see. The fact of the matter is, things are pretty good. A few tweaks here and there, maybe, but all in all, I anticipate carrying on much the same way I did in 2014. And 2013, for that matter. And so on. I certainly do want to get in more time taking photographs for the sake of taking photographs. And there are more campgrounds to explore, trails to hike and lakes to paddle. That’s certainly going to

New artists, new musicians, new songs from old favourites. And then there’s all those books I haven’t read yet. The library’s full of titles. I can’t wait to get at them. And movies. I’m not a big movie-goer but I usually take in a few. Lots of good T.V. shows out there too. I’m definitely not resolving to watch less T.V. I might actually watch less but I’m not resolving

to do so. Que sera, sera, right? I will keep trying to improve my craft, that of journalistic writing. I will always strive to be a better photographer. I don’t need to make a resolution to do that. That’s what I do all the time. I never assume I can’t get better at something, anything. I will keep trying to put out a better newspaper, that’s just the way I approach things. Sometimes I succeed, sometimes I don’t but it’s always my goal. We’ll check back in 12 months to see how I did. In the meantime, Happy New Year everybody.

Women’s shoebox project a big success This year’s Shoebox Project for Women in Campbell River surpassed the expectations of coordinators. The goal this year was 200 and more than 230 shoeboxes valuing over $11,000 were collected for the women in the community in time for the holidays. Brightly decorated shoeboxes filled with little luxuries were distributed to Campbell River and North Island Transition Society, the d ow ntow n e x t re me weather shelter, Radiant Life Church, Salvation Army Evergreen House, Campbell River Women’s Centre, AIDS Vancouver Island, Salvation Army Lighthouse Family Services, Advocacy Services Centre, as well as Laichwiltach Family Life Society, Campbell River Public Health Unit and Campbell River Family Services. This was the second year for the project in Campbell River coordinated by Alison Skrepneck and Susan Dyson and there was even more interest and support from the community this year. The coordinators of the Shoebox Project thank everyone in the community for their generosity and support once again this year. The Shoebox Project aimed at women who have accessed shelter and outreach services, asked members of the community to fill shoeboxes with personal items that women having a difficult time may not buy for themselves. Coordinators would also like to recognize all of those who helped promote the project, and the individuals, families, groups and businesses who got busy filling the shoeboxes for the women, and to those who donated extra items for the shoeboxes. Many thanks to the three drop off locations for collecting the shoeboxes: Coastal Community Credit Union in Discovery Harbour, Serendipity in the Garden and Sun-
boxes were distributed to women across the country. Campbell River doubled its goal in 2013 and 155 gifts were deliv-
ered to women in the community. The Shoebox Project delivers shoeboxes filled with items valuing about
$50 to women who are homeless for any reason. For more information visit www.shoeboxproject.com

Special thank-you to the Samson family for use of their commercial space for storing and sorting the shoeboxes, the Campbell River Arts Council for use of their tables on sorting days, to Fresh Dental for their generous donation of dental items, and to the many volunteers who helped sort through and deliver shoeboxes to the shelters and agencies. “It has been so heartwarming to see the support of the community and enthusiasm for this project,” Skrepneck says. “People enjoyed filling the boxes with special things they love themselves and creating a gift for someone who is less fortunate. Everyone has been so happy to hear about the success of the campaign.” Dyson agrees. “ This project has clearly demonstrated what a giving community Campbell River is,” Dyson says. “People want to help, want to give, and this has become another avenue for that to happen.” The Shoebox Project for Shelters is a charita-

Deputy fire chief’s quarter century of service
One of Campbell River’s finest was recognized at a recent council meeting. Deputy Fire Chief Thomas Doherty was presented with a Long Service Award from the province of B.C. for 25 years of service at the Dec. 16 council meeting.
Campbell River Fire Chief Ian Baikie recalled how Doherty began his career as a firefighter with the Ladysmith Fire Rescue department in 1989 and progressed through the ranks to deputy fire chief in 2004. He then moved on to the Big White Fire Department where he was hired on as captain
and became deputy fire chief of that department. From there, Doherty took a position with the Kelowna Fire Department as deputy fire chief. He left, however, in 2013 to join the Campbell River Fire Department and became Campbell River’s deputy fire chief of operations. 301 St. Ann’s Road, Campbell River, BC V9W 4C7 Telephone: 250-286-5700 info@campbellriver.ca www.campbellriver.ca

THE HISTORY OF THE CAMPBELL RIVER AREA
Effort to preserve Elk Falls behind creation of park By Catherine GilBert MuSEuM At CAMPBELL RIVER
“…surely the government could arrange to set aside a small acreage round Elk Falls that exquisite work of God, set in the giant forest. If the Beauty of the falls is destroyed, if the whole length of the Island Highway is an array of blackened stumps, what is to attract the tourist?” This excerpt from an article in the Comox Argus of April 3, 1924 entitled ‘While There is Time’ echoes the sentiment of the times. Both the inviting stands of timber in what is now known as Elk Falls Park, and the power potential of the falls themselves had been eyed by developers as early as the 1880s. Yet the natural beauty of the falls and surrounding forest were also considered to be a significant draw to tourists. Stories appeared in the local newspaper from 1919 onward about the need to improve the road to the falls and erect proper signage. By 1920, steps were already being taken to preserve an area around the falls as parkland. The Argus reported that “‘a resolution was passed asking the provincial government to set aside an area round Campbell River Falls for a park and not to permit the scenic beauty of the Falls themselves to be ruined by the diversion of their waters for commerce.” It goes on to say “one of the great charms of the Falls is that they are surrounded by giant trees, typical of Vancouver

“Elk Falls that exquisite work of God, set in the giant forest” was how one writer in the Comox Argus described the spectacular waterfalls in 1924.
Island’s primaeval forest… any logging operations or other commercial enterprise must necessarily irredeemably rob this valuable asset of its natural features.” Locally, the falls were often referred to as the Campbell River Falls and were not officially named Elk Falls until 1952. Concerned citizens were especially worried that if the falls were harnessed for electrical power and their force diminished, then visitors would no longer be interested in coming to see them. An indignant writer made this
www.crmuseum.ca
amply clear in a letter to the editor of the Comox Argus in 1922: “If the public does not insist that the government should set apart an area around the Campbell River Falls as a park they will deserve to be called – and justly – vandals of the grossest and dollar-mad fools, unworthy of a great inheritance… once the beauty of Campbell River Falls is profaned, it is gone forever.” Six years later, another writer noted that “the plea for a park at Elk Falls has been allowed to lapse” and it wasn’t until 1938 that a delegation speaking
7x3 Museum
with the premier and cabinet was successful, and “their plea that small stands of timber be left and converted into beauty spots had been heeded.” (Comox Argus May 19, 1938). Finally, the province designated 1,124 hectares of land adjacent to the Campbell and Quinsam rivers as a Class ‘A’ provincial park, and on December 20, 1940, Elk Falls Provincial Park came into being. During the 1930s, the Forestry Service had been employing out of work men to make improvements such as building bridges and pathways to make the approach to the falls safer and more easily accessible. A tearoom known as the Den served refreshments. When the workers also helped fight the devastating Great Fire that swept through the area in 1938, they were credited with saving many of the old growth trees that still surround the immediate area around the falls and canyon. The trees may have been left intact, but the falls themselves were to undergo a radical change. In 1929, the Vancouver Island Power Corporation applied for a water licence in Campbell River, but it wasn’t until 1938 that rumours of development were circulating in earnest. It was viewed that there was potential for a pulp and paper mill in Campbell River, if adequate power could be supplied. A 1948 travel guide noted that “most people outside British Columbia think of Campbell River as the home of the Tyee salmon but… the
little town is now inspired by a new destiny which will make her even more widely known.” The writer was referring to the recent construction of the John Hart Dam, named after the province’s premier, that would supply power not only locally but as far as Nanaimo and Port Alberni. By 1952, the Elk Falls Mill was constructed and growth of the town and its economy was ensured. Today, the falls still attract many sightseers and Elk Falls Provincial Park also provides camping. With recent heavy rainfall, BC Hydro has had to release excess water from the John Hart reservoir, creating a magnificent flow, and visitors can once again enjoy the historic splendour of the falls. When H.C. Johnston viewed the falls in 1910, he wrote: “And the falls! It not only compares well with those other wonders of a continent and the world in height of fall and volume of water and therefore in majestic grandeur and the wonderful tales it has to tell of the elemental forces of nature, but in wildness and beauty of surrounding it far outrivals the Niagara of today.” The Museum at Campbell River in partnership with BC Hydro has a new permanent exhibit at the Museum outlining the history of the entire Campbell River Watershed, and Museum staff are on hand at BC Hydro’s John Hart Interpretive Centre which houses a history of the building of the dam as well as an explanation of current upgrades.
