in the face,” the judge said. In each incident, Spooner “completely lost his temper and employed foul language in a loud tone of voice.” The judge said Spooner believes that his conduct is defensible because “this is hockey and feelings run high.” “A propensity for violence and a gift for physical intimidation are highly-valued qualities among hockey players,” the judge said. “Mr. Spooner believes it appropriate to exhibit those qualities in the course of business dealings off the ice and sought to intimidate Mr. and Ms. Webb and Mr. Ewing on the occasions described.” The judge concluded that it is reasonable to infer that Spooner is likely to behave in a similar fashion if he encounters the Webbs in the future. However, there is no reason to believe that he is likely to inflict any physical injury on either Dave or Marsha Webb. “In considering his future course of action, Mr. Spooner would be well advised to bear in mind that he committed a criminal assault of Mr. Webb by striking him, and of Mr. Ewing by pushing him, and that he would probably have been convicted of those assaults if the Crown had chosen to charge him,” Judge Gouge said. “Civilized society does not live by the standards of the hockey rink, where such assaults are an accepted part of the game.” Spooner’s defence counsel pointed out that no further incidents have occurred since April 2014 and the confrontation with Webb was (at the time of the judgement) 10 months ago. The judge ruled that for one year, Spooner is to keep the peace and be of good behaviour, not communicate directly with the Webbs in any way, only indirectly in writing, and is not to approach with 10 metres of either of the Webbs nor approach within 500 metres of their home.

Hello, Campbell River. As the latest addition to your stable of scribes at the Mirror, I’m glad to be aboard and looking forward to getting into the community and meeting you. My family, however, is still trying to come to grips with the concept that we’re now on the “North” Island.

Plank by plank, bridge creeps closer to completion RotaRy: Work on Elk Falls suspension bridge progresses Kristen Douglas Campbell RiveR miRRoR

The decking on Campbell River’s latest attraction is being laid – and as each plank is put down, the Elk Falls Suspension Bridge is getting closer and closer to completion. The much-anticipated bridge, which will stretch 64 metres long and hang 60 metres above Elk Falls, is scheduled to open to the public in the spring. Permanent cables have been strung across Elk Falls Canyon and connected to four anchors bolted into the rock at each end of the bridge. Lorrie Bewza, president of the Rotary Club and suspension bridge project chair, said the

project has hit some significant milestones recently. “Late last week, construction crews bolted into place the decking and fencing, working from the south side of the canyon (the side that connects to the Millennium Trail),” Bewza said. “The contractor will complete the decking, then attach fencing, handrail and other safety features to the bridge.” A portion of one of two new viewing platforms has also been constructed. “On the south side you can see the elevated walkway and stairs leading down to the elevated viewing platform that will provide the visitor a view of Elk Falls from the top to the bottom of Elk Falls Canyon where the world famous Campbell River starts,” Bewza said. The platform is accessible to users coming off

the new trail between Elk Falls and the new 80-stall Elk Falls parking lot. The platform will be wheelchair accessible and offer a front facing view of the falls. The second viewing platform will be located on the other, northern side of the suspension bridge. The entire project has been made possible by $124,500 in funding from the Campbell River Rotary Club, a $150,000 contribution from BC Hydro, a federal government grant for $86,650 and $325,000 from the Island Coastal Economic Trust. Hydro, which is working in the vicinity of Elk Falls on the John Hart Generating Station replacement project, has also provided Rotary with copies of topographical and geo-technical reports which have saved the Rotary Club time and money.

Plus, the look of your FortisBC bill changed — making it easier to read and understand.

TimberWest tax challenge rejected by court Kristen Douglas Campbell RiveR miRRoR

The City of Campbell River has won a Supreme Court of B.C. tax challenge levied against the organization by TimberWest. TimberWest, the city’s largest private timber and land management company, filed the tax challenge last Feb. 27 after council increased taxes on managed forest lands from $2.29 per thousand dollars of assessed value to the provincial average of $13.98. The increase, to be phased in over three years, was set to bring rates in line with other B.C. municipalities. That increase, approved by council in January, 2014, affects all Class 7 (managed forest land) properties in the city except for land held by Merrill and Ring, which is charged a rural rate according to a provincial order set when

those properties were brought into the city. TimberWest argued during a hearing held Sept. 15-17 in Vancouver that the new tax bylaw would increase its taxes in 2014 by more than two and a half times the rate for 2013 and that once additional increases are phased in over three years, TimberWest will be taxed at a rate that is more than five times what Merrill and Ring will pay. That comes out to $61,375 in property taxes in 2014 for TimberWest, $94,428 in 2015 and $127,480 in 2016. Terry Francis, operations manager with TimberWest, asked council at last year’s budget deliberations to reconsider. “The proposed tax burden will likely discourage forestry and remove the financial incentive to carry out forest management activities,” he said at the time. “If implemented, a prudent

THEY SAID IT: “The goal of that policy was to set a taxation rate comparable to rates in other communities.”

timberland owner might be forced to harvest the operable timber without replanting.” TimberWest’s main argument before Justice Lauri Ann Fenlon was whether “the city has the authority under statute to discriminate, in the municipal law sense, by drawing a distinction between the Merrill and Ring lands and other Class 7 lands within municipal boundaries.” In her judgement handed down on Jan. 23, Fenlon concluded that the city does have “clear

statutory authority to set different tax rates for designated lands. “I conclude that the city has the authority to set a higher tax rate for Class 7 lands falling outside the designated area encompassing the Merrill and Ring lands,” Fenlon continued in her written judgement. “The petition is dismissed.” Mayor Andy Adams said the city’s goal in increasing the tax rate was to keep pace with other communities, not discriminate against TimberWest.

The city will now take steps to recover the roughly $55,000 in disputed taxation that TimberWest placed in trust with the court and court costs as awarded. TimberWest still has 30 days to file an appeal of the decision. This most recent tax challenge is the second time in six years that TimberWest has taken the city to court. In 2009, Justice Laura Gerow ruled that a tax increase to $1.21 million was unlawfully levied by the city on TimberWest. In that case, however, the court ruled that the city was improperly using tax rates to bring about a change in land use.

Ron Bowles, the city’s chief financial officer and general manager of corporate services, said the court challenge and subsequent verdict could have been precedent setting. “The ruling in this case is of interest to local governments throughout the province as there are examples of many other municipalities that have similarly set differential tax rates through a municipal boundary extension that would also be in jeopardy if the City of Campbell River’s tax rates bylaw was not upheld,” Bowles said.

Our View

Parents, learn to keep cool at the rink At first glance, the idea to ban parents from the hockey rink may sound ridiculous. It happened last week when the Vancouver Island Minor Hockey Association announced they were considering banning people in the stands for a weekend to send a message to incorrigible parents squawking at refs and players on the ice. On second glance, it may just be a good idea. Especially after finding out that Penticton parents ended up in fisticuffs with the opposing teams’ fans at a tournament in Salmon Arm last weekend. It started with a disagreement over a penalty called by the ref and ended with a physical confrontation. This despite the Salmon Arm Minor Hockey Association saying they make efforts at the beginning We say: This isn’t of the season to teach parents abuse of officials, a one-off in the players (and we guess world of minor next season will include hockey fellow spectators) is not acceptable. This isn’t a one-off in the world of minor hockey either. In November, a restraining order was placed on a woman who was harassing the Kootenay Ice (WHL), Detroit Red Wings (NHL) and others about her sons’ hockey careers. Earlier this month, a Burnaby hockey dad was given a conditional discharge and 12 months probation for threatening a minor hockey player all of nine-years old. One blogger posted a video this week (date of its origin unknown) shot from the stands of a minor hockey game. A parent, from Florida, suddenly stands up in a rage over a ref ’s decision and smashes his hand against the glass shattering it. At least one parent commented, “Way to go Paul. That’s classy.” So maybe having a no spectator weekend might put things into perspective for the parents who dish out thousands of dollars in gear, travel and fees for their kids to play hockey. Hockey is there for kids to participate in organized sport, make friends and have fun. What fun is it when you have to embarrassingly hang your head low on the ice or in the dressing room when your parents are the ones screaming from the stands? For the sake of the kids, volunteers and referees, keep it classy. -Black Press

Wolf kill last hope for the caribou

When the B.C. government last resorted to shooting wolves from helicopters in the 1980s, an emotional public outcry forced a retreat. In the B.C. tradition, sensation-seeking urban media and protesters led the way. An outraged reporter named Pamela Martin marched a BCTV crew off the road near Fort St. John to expose this presumed crime against nature. With a metre of snow and temperatures dipping to -40, they didn’t get far, but public sentiment was aroused enough for politicians to overrule wildlife biologists. This winter, while snow reveals the wolves’ location from the air, the choppers and rifles are out again. And my heart goes out to the biologists and First Nations hunters who face this grim task. The South Selkirk mountain caribou herd, which ranges between B.C., Idaho and Washington, has been the target of intensive conservation efforts by governments on both sides of the border. Six of the remaining 18 animals now wear radio

being picked off by wolves. The B.C. grey wolf population averages around 8,500, with managed hunting and trapping to protect livestock while preserving the wolf as apex predator in most of its wide range. This context is seldom reported by Vancouver media, which mostly sees its role not as explaining issues but rather embarrassing whatever political party is in power, and providing an uncritical platform for the stop-logging-miningenergy crowd, which is seen as popular with urban viewers. Remember the spotted owl, with the fringe of its range extending into southern B.C.? Our branch-plant enviros marketed that one for years. Its core habitat is Washington and Oregon, where many sawmills were shuttered to “save” them. Now they’re shooting invasive barred owls, which have emerged as a greater threat to spotted owls than logging. Context is important.

NOTICE OF PROPOSAL TO ESTABLISH DOWNTOWN BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT AREA Notice is hereby given that the City of Campbell River, in cooperation with the Heart of the City Business Improvement Area Society (HoCBIAS), is proposing to establish a business improvement area in the downtown core for a 5 year term. Over the past 5 years the owners of Class 6 Business/Other property lying within the Heart of the City Business Improvement Area (HoCBIA) have paid a “local service tax”. The tax is collected by the City of Campbell River to be used by the HoCBIAS to operate a “business promotional scheme”. The funds raised through the local service tax have enabled the HoCBIAS to promote the downtown core through marketing and beautification projects. The boundaries of the HoCBIA are defined on the following map. In order for the HoCBIA to continue operating, City Council must adopt a new bylaw which would re-establish the HoCBIA for 5 years. The Society has asked that the bylaw be processed as a “Council initiative” under the authority of the Community Charter – Part 7, Division 5. Under the “Council initiative” method, Council may, by bylaw, proceed with the renewal of the HoCBIA unless at least 50% of the owners of the parcels that would be subject to the local service tax sign a petition against, and the persons signing are the owners of parcels that in total represent at least 50% of the assessed value of land and improvements that would be subject to the local service tax. HoCBIAS’ proposed budget for 2015 is $42,586, with a 7% increase the first year and 5% annual increase thereafter. In order to raise the funds requested by the HoCBIAS for 2015, owners of Class 6 property lying within the HoCBIA would be required to pay a local service tax at a rate of approximately $2.25 per $1,000 of assessed value of the improvements (buildings) on their property. The Discovery Inn and Harbourside Inn are included in the HoCBIA boundaries on the basis that it will pay a percentage of its assessed improvement value representing the retail portion of the building. Owners of Class 6 property located within the HoCBIA boundary, that are opposed to the renewal of the HoCBIA, must notify the City in writing no later than 4:30 p.m. on March 4, 2015. Information relating to the renewal of the Heart of the City Business Improvement Area, including copies of the relevant legislation, is available for inspection during business hours (8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.), Monday through Friday at Campbell River City Hall, 301 St. Ann’s Road. Information can also be obtained by e-mailing tracy.bate@campbellriver.ca, or by calling 250-286-5705. For more information on the HoCBIAS’ business promotional scheme please contact HoCBIAS President, John Wheat at (250) 286-1233. Tracy Bate, Deputy City Clerk

Local company does its part for dam project As work at the John Hart Generating Station Replacement Project moves underground, one Campbell River company has been able to share its expertise by creating some of the required infrastructure locally. CR Metal Fabricators Ltd. (CRMF) built and provided some largediameter ventilation works connections for the service and access tunnels for the dam project. Ventilation infrastructure is critical to providing good air quality and worker safety as the tunnels slowly expand underground, about 70 metres below the surface. The two-metre-diameter ventilation pipe elbow connections built by CRMF required field welding and shop fabri-

cation at its Campbell River site. There will also be a 39-metre high underground cavern to situate the new generating station and its three turbines and generators. CRMF has a varied workforce of about 18 people, with as many as nine employees engaged in work for the John Hart project. “We are excited for the new challenges presented by the John Hart project, both in the short and long term,” says Tyler Abbott, a project manager with CRMF. “We welcome the opportunity of contributing our support to such a significant project.” CRMF provides general fabrication, specialty welding, CNC plasma cutting, and design and

drafting services for all forms of industrial construction projects. It has also fabricated explosive transport boxes for the John Hart project. “Wherever possible, the project team is tap-

ping local businesses to help with this project. There’s a lot of work to do and having resources in Campbell River will help keep all of the work on track,” said Andy Brown, Technical Direc-

tor for InPower BC. “This is an example of the job spin-offs that a project of this magnitude creates within our community,” said Mike Boulet, Campbell River Chamber of Commerce

Board Chair. “It’s great to see local supply and skill being utilized as well as it has in the project’s first year. It will only increase as the scope of the site work increases, peaking in 2016.”

BC Hydro, the Chamber and other local and regional business leaders have worked since 2011 to prepare the John Hart project, and project contractor InPower BC is continuing that focus on local subcontractors, suppliers and workers. “There are about 100 people working on site and of those, about 80 per cent are local workers,” says BC Hydro spokesperson, Stephen Watson. “Local means workers that live within 90 kilometres of the John Hart site. With increased craft work required on site, it’s anticipated to reach 90 per cent local in the coming months. InPower BC is engaged with the local and regional business community and it’s nice to see.”

Debris removal forces BC Hydro to reduce dam flow BC Hydro crews will be cleaning out debris in the trash racks upstream of the power intake at the John Hart dam this Thursday. To safety complete the

work, the water that passes through the intake and down the three penstocks to the generating station will be reduced to a minimum. But the river levels down-

stream of the generating station will rise because the spill down Elk Falls Canyon will be increased correspondingly. BC Hydro spokesperson

Stephen Watson said the public is advised to stay away from the Campbell River upstream of Elk Falls due to the high and dangerous flows beginning on Thursday

before dawn and ending that evening. “The storms in October through December have added significant grassy and woody debris onto the trash

racks that keeps debris from entering the penstocks,” Watson said. “This debris is beginning to cause penstock pressure issues and must be removed.”

City looks into Island-wide waste service “

Campbell River city council is recommending local governments take a look at establishing an Island-wide solid waste service. At its Monday night meeting, council agreed to bring forward a resolution to the upcoming Association of Vancouver Island Coastal Communities (AVICC) convention to conduct an assessment on the feasibility of a Vancouver-Island wide solid waste function. Amber Zirnhelt, the city’s sustainability and long range planning manager, said an Island function could help mitigate the financial difficulties local governments are

experiencing with running their landfills and other solid waste services. “Regional districts on Vancouver Island are struggling with the financial implications of managing solid waste,” Zirnhelt said. “There are finite volumes of solid waste and an increasing demand for diversion programs for composting and recycling, and limited financial resources to implement these programs and required upgrades to landfills to meet capacity needs and environmental regulations.” The Comox Strathcona Solid Waste Service is facing bills in the millions of dollars, as the service works to close the Campbell River landfill and expand the dump in

Cumberland into a regional waste centre. Last summer, $2.1 million was spent to complete a 13-metre high retaining wall at the Campbell River dump to add space to accommodate the entire region’s waste once construction on the new Comox Valley landfill in Cumberland begins. Subsequent closure of the Campbell River landfill will cost $10 million and addi-

tional costs are still on the horizon to develop landfill closure plans for the Gold River, Tahsis and Zeballos waste management centres and then replace them with transfer stations. C oun. L arr y Samson pointed out that while costs are rising in the Comox Strathcona region to meet increasing demand for service, it’s not a unique situation.

“It’s a problem across not only the Island but the province,” Samson said. “So this (resolution) is definitely good news.” Mayor A n d y Ad ams thanked city operations manager Ron Neufeld and Zirnhelt for putting together the resolution for the city to take to the AVICC. “I think this is very timely in light of some of the issues that have come up at the Comox Strathcona Solid Waste (meetings) in terms of regional solid waste costing,” Adams said. Zirnhelt said the possibility may exist for all Vancouver Island regional districts to work together, and realize some cost savings. “There may be greater

scales of economy if a broader strategy was developed for the entire Island,” Zirnhelt said. “Having a review of the Vancouver Island waste services offered by the regional districts, the needs and requirements of each area, and the potential for partnership in service delivery and/or disposal plans and facilities could identify new opportunities to address solid waste in a more efficient and cohesive manner.” Elected local government officials from across the Island are expected to get the chance to vote on the solid waste resolution at the AVICC convention which takes place this year April 10-12 in Courtenay.

Campbell River backs bid to boost ICET funding KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Campbell River council is working to get coastal communities to petition the B.C. government to renew funding to the Island Coastal Economic Trust (ICET) which is running out of money. Coun. Charlie Cornfield told council at last week’s meeting that the $50 million that the province gave ICET in 2006 when it was established is nearly spent. Cornfield said that funding has been instrumental in helping coastal communities with eco-

nomic growth-generating projects. “The $50 million fund has been the key factor in enabling ICET to leverage significant levels of other government, nongovernment, and private sector funding, resulting in important gains for the people, businesses and communities in the AVICC (Association of Vancouver Island Coastal Communities),” Cornfield said. Council agreed and endorsed a resolution – which Cornfield brought forward– that will be sent to the AVICC. If it passes at the April AVICC convention in

“

“The $50 million fund has been the key factor in enabling ICET to leverage significant levels of other government, non-government, and private sector funding ... .”

– Coun. Charlie Cornfield

Courtenay, the AVICC will likely petition the provincial government to renew ICET by recapitalizing the trust to its original, $50 million level. Mayor Andy Adams thanked Cornfield for bringing the resolution forward to Campbell River council.

“During your time in this chair, you were very effective in working with ICET and I certainly understand the significance that it’s had on our community,” Adams said, “so thank you.” Campbell River has been the recipient of several ICET grants including one for $2.3

million for the Campbell River Airport runway extension, $250,000 for the Downtown Revitalization project in and around the St. Ann’s block, as well as $325,000 for the Elk Falls Suspension bridge project.

And just last week, ICET announced a $5,705 grant to conduct an analysis of all Kelsey Bay harbour users which could possibly lead to new business and increased marine tourism for Sayward.

To date, ICET has provided $44.3 million to communities on the Sunshine Coast and on northern and central Vancouver Island. ICET claims it has leveraged $4.7 for every ICET dollar spent.

SD72 finances hold steady District announces amid adjustments to budget registration changes

Despite substantial swings in revenue and expenditure since the start of the school year, Campbell River School District’s bottom line remains essentially at its projected level, Secretarytreasurer Kevin Patrick told the School District 72 Board of Trustees during their regular meeting Jan. 20. In his quarterly financial report to the board, Patrick noted the final grant received by the district from the Ministry of Education came in $465,000 higher than preliminary projections. On the other hand, revenues tumbled nearly $5 million due to

SCHOOL BOARD

the Ministry’s clawback of funds allocated for the period when teachers were on strike last summer. Much of that loss has been offset by a corresponding savings in salaries, wages and benefits not paid during the job action. In addition, the district’s average cost for teacher salaries has dipped, due to the salary differ-

ential between retiring teachers and incoming new teachers. But that, too, has been offset, with an increase in distributed learning, alternate and special education students. Total enrolment numbers, while still down 13 from last year, are stabilizing and are slightly better than preliminary projections. Overall, Patrick said, the budgets are within approved amounts and closely match the projected deficit of approximately $500,000. That shortfall has been filled by unrestricted reserve funds approved under the Board’s annual budget.

School District 72 • Campbell River, B.C.

Changes are coming to the Campbell River School District’s new student registration and cross catchment application processes, the Board of Trustees learned during their regular meeting at the District office Jan. 20. Superintendent Tom Longridge and Assistant Superintendent Nevenka Fair informed the Board of the changes, part of efforts to update the district’s operational policies and procedures. Kindergarten registration has been moved up to the first week of February to better align with the staffing process and consideration of cross catchment applications. Cross catchment, formerly referred to as cross boundary, involves requests to attend a school other than the student’s neighbourhood catchment school. The deadline for cross catchment applications has also moved up, to the

second Friday in February, and applications for the following school year are now being processed at the School Board Office. Processing applications at the Board Office simplifies the number of steps required of parents, allows for a more complete picture of the school community when making staffing decisions, and will see more students able to start the first week of school already settled in their school community. The new operational policy and procedures for student registration and cross catchment applications also formalizes a change that was piloted last school year with regards to applications into Early French Immersion. Historically, French Immersion has been treated as an individual school program, meaning that parents could choose to register at either of the two French

Immersion elementary schools. Last year, however, it became apparent that if that practice continued one of the schools would reach a point where the kindergarten registrations would outnumber the capacity of the school. The program was changed to a district program of choice and applicants are now assigned to one of the two schools taking into consideration parent preference, siblings already in attendance, proximity to the school, and the availability of space and facilities and staffing resources appropriate to the applicant. This change was well-understood and received by parents last year, according to the Superintendent’s report. For more information on the new student registration and cross catchment application process, visit www.sd72. bc.ca/Schools/registrationandtransfers.

The City of Campbell River is holding free sessions for local builders and developers on amendments to the BC Building Code that came into effect in December. Sessions will also introduce new requirements for City building permit

City donates $40,000 towards new Hospice House KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

City council will give money to the Campbell River Hospice Society for a new Hospice House. At its Monday meeting, council approved spending $40,216 from council’s community land development account. That decision comes after council decided to delay transferring the funds for one week. Coun. Larry Samson said at the Jan. 19 council meeting that he wanted to hold off until this

week’s Monday council meeting before making a decision on the funding. Samson said he wanted city staff to provide council with more information on council’s contingency account, which staff had originally recommended council draw the money from. The rest of council had agreed to wait. The money will help the Hospice Society with construction costs associated with building a new Hospice House on a lot donated to the society by the city.

This drawing shows what is proposed for the front of a new Hospice House which will be located on Evergreen Road near the new hospital.

Council made the decision at an Aug. 12

in-camera meeting to donate a city-owned lot

Some of the fees, including development cost charges, will be paid out to the society through grants-in-aid but others – involving payment to third parties – are a cost that must be borne by the city, Brovold said. “Council may choose to make these payments on behalf of the applicant,” she said. A total of six costs, including signage, water service, and appraisal costs, can be taken care of through a direct payment while eight other fees can be provided to the Hospice Society through a grant-in-aid.

City mulls return to Communities in Bloom

www.CampbellRiverMirror.com www.CampbellRiverMirror.com

KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The city will consider rejoining the Communities in Bloom beautification program in 2015. City council received a letter from Communities in Bloom last week outlining the program and asking the city to consider re-entering. “We would love to invite the City of Campbell River back into the Communities in Bloom program,” wrote Don Alberg, chair of the B.C. branch of Communities in

Bloom. Council, however, chose to refer Alberg’s letter to the city’s Communities in Bloom committee and the garden club for its recommendations before making any decisions. The city withdrew from Communities in Bloom in 2013 after being on a twoyear hiatus from the program due to budget constraints. Nigel L amb et h, w ho chaired the city’s Communities in Bloom committee, said while the program fosters civic pride it was also a huge undertaking that the city had

not been able to afford in recent years. “The committee feels that the national Communities in Bloom program offers an excellent system for measuring the performance of a community in eight key areas, related to beautification and sustainability,” Lambeth said in October, 2013. “However, the commitment to compete, from a financial and volunteer effort perspective, is enormous.” After hearing from Lambeth and the rest of the committee, council made the dif-

ficult decision to pull out of Communities in Bloom – a program in which the city found a lot of success. In 2011, Campbell River won the national competition with a score of 85 per cent and was invited to compete in 2012 at the international level. The $26,000 fee to enter, however, was too rich for the city and the decision was made to withdraw. Instead, the committee evolved into a Community Beautification group which took on low-cost activities

such as community clean-up days, broom bashes, recognition programs for businesses and residents, community workshops, the Adopt-AHighway program, and provided recommendations to city council on beautification matters. But the committee may choose to re-enter the Communities in Bloom program, and if it does, Alberg said the city does have some options as a former ‘Bloom’ community. The city could enter the evaluated program to re-

establish its bloom rating and could compete at the national level in 2016 if the city is eligible, or it could enter a novice program to introduce Communities in Bloom to a new committee group. Alternatively, the city could elect to participate in a nonevaluated category to maintain a B.C. Communities in Bloom profile for active projects. The city has until March 31 to register for Communities in Bloom should it choose to recommit to the program for the coming year.

BC Hydro moves on Salmon River diversion

View looking downstream at BC Hydro’s Salmon River diversion facility. There are some significant upgrades, mostly to benefit fish productivity.

BC Hydro is moving closer to starting capital upgrades to the Salmon River Diversion facility, located north of Campbell River. The facility, built in the 1950s, diverts water from the Salmon River into the Campbell River system for power generation and other water use interests. BC Hydro is looking at improvements that include dam and canal upgrades, upstream adult fish migration and downstream fish outmigration. All of these elements would provide improved reliability, debris management, and access to about 40 kilometres of ideal fish habitat located upstream

of the dam. “This project is about dam safety, environmental improvements for fish, and worker and public safety,” says BC Hydro’s Stephen Watson. “This facility is an important asset to BC Hydro for the Campbell River system and significant improvements are planned.” Watson said BC Hydro has been working the past few years to come up with solutions for a wide range of project components. This year it will work to develop design for an operational adult fish passage and plans for construction to take place in 2016, with it being fully operational

for the coho migration in fall 2016. It is also proposing upgrade work on the dam and debris management works in 2016. In 2017, work will begin on a fish screen and upgrades to the concrete canal that runs downstream of the dam for about 3.5 km. All works are planned to be complete by 2018. “BC Hydro’s schedule goal was to have adult fish improvements in place by fall 2015,” said Watson. “The details and work required in looking at all the potential fish passage options were significant and, unfortunately, we’re not going to make that date. We wanted to do this right and we’re happy with the final solutions in place, particularly how the adult fish passage works decision was collaboratively arrived at with First Nations, government fish agencies and BC Hydro..” BC Hydro is leading the dam safety and fish screen upgrade works, but the adult fish passage component of the project was co-managed by BC Hydro, We Wai Kai and Wei Wai Kum. It’s the first time BC Hydro has directly involved First Nations in a capital project decision. The K’omoks First Nation was also involved in the technical committee. “I can certainly say that it was a big learning process in how BC Hydro undertakes their capital projects,” said Brian Assu, Wei Wai Kai Council member and representative to the project. “As their Coastal Chair of the Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program, I have good knowledge of the hydroelectric system but this process, with BC Hydro’s engineers, biologists and consultants, was taken to a new level and there was a ton of information to go through. I’m not sure if I needed to know all that was presented, yet at the same time it was presented to us in

a cohesive way and in a way that we could make the best decision for salmon fish passage past the dam in consideration of the various factors at the site.” In December, B C Hydro used a structured decision-making process and used an external facilitator to bring the group to a consensus recommendation on the new type of upstream fish passage. Consideration was given to a range of evaluation criteria including: success of fish moving upstream, operations and maintenance, worker and public safety, environmental impact, and cost. A new fish ladder on the right bank of the river was the consensus recommendation. It will require removal of the existing fish ladder due to overlap with the new ladder’s location. “First Nations were in this process to make improvements for fish and to get more fish productively, whether it be steelhead or coho, on the Salmon River,” said Tony Roberts Jr., Wei Wai Kum Councillor and also a representative on the project. “We have made a decision that will help fish and I am appreciative of everyone’s involvement to get to this stage. At the same time we need to continue to work hard so we can get these works in place.” BC Hydro has a community liaison committee in Campbell River and will provide a project update in February. “BC Hydro would like to acknowledge the Campbell River Salmon Foundation and the Sayward Fish and Game Club for their keen interest in fish on the Salmon River. In many ways, this milestone is to be shared with those volunteers,” said Watson. Historically since the diversion dam was constructed, the water d ive r te d f rom t he Salmon River represents about 10 per cent of the Campbell River system water flows.

Cermaq FC rise to the top of the standings Cermaq City FC have enjoyed an eventful opening couple of weeks in the Division Three Vancouver Island Soccer League. Their opening game of the year saw a solid 3-0 victory over Castaways FC at the local Quinsam field. This game was followed 24 hours later with a game against Hellas of Victoria. Hellas were the in-form team with six straight wins behind them. Cermaq earned a hard fought 0-0 draw in what was a very physical and spirited encounter. One week later saw the local team entertain Saanich Fusion. The Fusion had been top of the Division all season but going into the game Cermaq were only one point behind with a game in hand. The pressure was on Saanich to claim a valuable win if the league was to remain in their hands. Despite the inclement weather the game certainly caught the imagination of the Campbell River soccer community as a large crowd gathered to see the potential Title decider. Once again it proved a spirited affair. Saanich started the better

of the two teams and dominated the early play. Keeper Beau Belle Oudry had to be very sharp to keep out a strong early shot and moments later an excellent low cross was gathered in superb fashion. Cermaq did settle down and behan to enjoy some useful possession. After 24 minutes Cermaq earned a corner. It was drilled in by Rob Shaw, Wyatt Bryce rose in majestic fashion to knock the ball back across the face of goal where a courageous header from the oncoming Matt Woof saw the ball fly into the back of the net. Bryce could have made it two when he was one on one with the keeper but for a wonderful save. Saanich were to tie the game when they themselves scored from a corner. The ball was not cleared from the first challenge and the Saanich Fusion had far too much time to fire the ball into the net. The second half saw an excellent performance from Cermaq. They pinned Saanich back for long spells but the visitors defended in brilliant fashion. The game remained at 1-1 and Cermaq although wanting the

win were certainly the happier of the two teams with the draw. This past weekend saw Cermaq play Castaways in Victoria. Before a ball was kicked the local side received the welcome news that Saanich had lost their game the previous night 2-1 against Bays United. This meant if Cermaq could get at least a draw out of the game they would go on top. The Castaways game was played under the lights on the all weather turf at Pacific Institute of Sports Education. Despite the long road trip the Campbell River side brought an excellent squad and confidence was high. Castaways lying fourth in the league have proven a stubborn defensive team at home so it would be an interesting game. The early exchanges saw Cermaq take charge. It was like a battlefield in the middle of the park but Mark Ross, Shaw and Bryce were up to the challenge. Up front Woof, Shane Dumanoir and Edgar Cramner were beginning to assert themselves but Cermaq were rocked when Castaways on virtually their first foray

forward scored with a fast counter attack. Despite again enjoying most possession Cermaq failed to create any real chances and went into at half the goal down. The second half saw an excellent start from Cermaq as their general movement on and off the ball was quicker. The opportunities began to appear but a hint of anxiety was apparent as chances came and went begging. It was Woof again, continuing his fine run of scoring, who was to get the equaliser. Once again it was a brave header from the edge of the 18 yard box that was to catch the keeper off his line. Cermaq created several other chances and time after time the keeper made solid saves.

Meanwhile, at the other end Castaways had a number of free kicks which put pressure upon the backline. Cermaq stood strong however and were more than worthy of their third successive draw. The point was critical however as the Campbell River side now sit atop of the league. They have the same points as Saanich but a superior goal difference of 10 means they are the top team. Saanich have one league game remaining and Cermaq have two. This coming weekend sees a bye for Cermaq and on Saturday Feb 07 they travel to Victoria to play Gorge. A win will secure the Championship. The following week they have their final league game on Feb 15 against Gulf Island with a 2pm KO at Willow Point.

The home squad prevailed, as the game finished 5-1. “I was pleased with our compete level this weekend, we started to cheat a little early in the third and that allowed them to put some pressure on us.

Nana’s Knickers sure to incite a lot of laughs Na n a’s Nau g ht y Knickers is a great title for a stages play. It suggests all the classical humourous ingredients of a farce and if the rehearsals for the show are anything to go by, audiences certainly will not be disappointed. “The cast is having a real ball doing this play,” says director Linda Von Zuben. “It is a fast paced show with plenty of surprises. I think Campbell River audiences will leave the theatre with a gigantic smile on their faces.” The story revolves around a student who goes to live with her grandmother while going to university. She finds that her granny is running an illegal business from her apartment that, if discovered, could get her arrested and thrown out of her rooms. This is obviously a very promising situation for having a lot of fun. It was thought up by Katherine DiSavino when she was a graduating student at George Washington University, studying Theatre and Creative Writing. It was her first play. At the age of twentytwo she suddenly

DEATHS

James Charles Omand August 22, 1936 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; January 21, 2015

The family of James Charles Omand, retired mechanical engineer in the pulp and paper industry, is sad to announce his death following a short battle with cancer. Jim was predeceased by his wife Jackie and son Michael. He is survived by his wife Gloria Daly and their children: Nancy, Shawn, Dan, Gordon, Angela, Lynida, Dave, Klaig, Leanne, Jaason, grandchildren, greatgrandchildren and sister Ruth. Jim was a volunteer with the Boy Scouts of Canada for many years, and treasurer/ secretary with the Cowichan Valley Trap and Skeet Club for over twelve years. His greatest joys were his yearly moose hunt in McKenzie BC, cod fishing and the great outdoors. We will all miss his wisdom, wit and hearty laugh. If you care to make a donation to a charity on his behalf, please consider the Heart and Stroke Foundation. The memorial gathering will be held at the Travelodge Silver Bridge Inn, Trans Canada Hwy in Duncan, BC on Thursday, January 29th from 2:00 to 5:00 pm.

On January 16th, Kevin â&#x20AC;&#x153;bought the farm.â&#x20AC;? Living on a miracle, he had previously survived a near death experience, floating for hours in the Georgia Strait before being rescued by the Pacific Faith and Harold Sewidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crew. Months later his greatest concern seemed to be his missing favourite slipper. Last we heard, he was still looking for a slipper without a foot in it. He had a life long love affair with Vegemite, Budweiser, and working on the sea. Although he never mastered the English language, time spent with Kevin was guaranteed to be full of love, laughter, and good times. His kind and gentle soul enriched all who knew him. He was loved by numerous good women and loyal friends. His spirit was released and joined with his brothers Shawn and Bryan along with their parents. He is survived by his little sister Noelene and sadly missed by all. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Leave them wanting more,â&#x20AC;? Kevin did this. Cheers Mate.

DEATHS

WILLIAMSON, William Graham November 7, 1941 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; January 22, 2015 After a brief illness at C.R. General Hospital, it is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Bill Williamson. Bill was predeceased by his wife of 52 years, Goldie; his parents William and Elizabeth Williamson, and his nephew Steven Feller. Dad leaves behind to mourn his sister Grace (August) Feller, brother-in-law Dan (Sheila) Hartman, daughter Suzanne (Kim) Morin, sons Robert (Lorraine) Williamson and William Thomas Williamson, grand-children Candice (Corey) Silliker, Damian Kudoba, Anthony Lambert, Tara Williamson, Matthew Williamson, Kyle Dufton, and one great-grandson, Blake. He also leaves his many relatives in the Cumberland area to mourn. Together, Bill and Goldie were loving foster parents to many children over a 25 year span. Notably, Carl Dick, Laura Page, David (Michelle) Roemer, and Shelly Roemer, who all became permanent members of our family. Bill was born in Comox, B.C. and spent his early years growing up in Cumberland. Grandpa Williamson moved the family to Campbell River in 1950, where Dad eventually met the love of his life, Goldie. During his service in the Canadian Navy, the newlyweds lived in Halifax, Nova Scotia. After which, they returned to Campbell River to start and raise their family. Bill worked at Elk Falls Pulp and Paper for well over 30 years, beginning on the Boom Crew, and then becoming a Journeyman Carpenter. He found many lifelong friends among his co-workers, and also through several volunteer organizations within the community. In particular, as a member of the Eagles, as an executive member with C.E.P. local 1123, and as a longstanding director on the Credit Union board. Dad held an undeniably strong passion as an outdoorsman; he found incredible peace and joy through fishing, hunting, and camping. He shared and passed on this passion with his children and grandchildren, making outdoor life a family affair. There will be a celebration of life for Bill on Saturday, January 31, 2015 at the Eagles Hall (1999 14th Avenue, Campbell River, B.C.) from 5:30pm to 8:30pm. Please join us to share and remember a devoted father, brother, papa, and friend to many.
