Fire vehicle stolen from scene Campbell River RCMP are investigating the theft of a City of Campbell River fire rescue vehicle. “A 2011 hybrid Ford Escape was stolen from the scene of a fire at 1800 Nunns Road the morning of Feb. 2 where it had been blocking Simms Road with emergency lights flashing to prevent traffic from entering the fire crew staging area,” says Campbell River RCMP Staff Sergeant Troy Beauregard. The clearly marked red and white fire officer’s vehicle was found by the RCMP in the Comox Valley later in the afternoon, apparently undamaged. One female Campbell River resident is in custody in relation to the incident. Charges of Theft Over $5000 and Possession of Stolen Property are anticipated. “This is the first time a fire vehicle has been taken from a scene, and the fire department is taking steps to equip vehicles with systems so that this cannot happen again in future,” says Fire Chief Ian Baikie.

One person was treated for smoke inhalation related to a fire at 1868 Nunns Rd. on Feb. 2. “All occupants were able to escape the fire, however one person was transported to hospital by BC Ambulance Service for smoke inhalation and has since been released,” says Deputy Fire Chief Thomas Doherty. “At 9:30 a.m., Campbell River fire

crews responded to a report of a structure fire at 1868 Nunns Rd., where heavy smoke and fire were seen coming out of windows and the doorway on the front of the single storey residence,” the deputy fire chief says. “Fire crews initiated a quick attack from the outside to knock down the flames and then moved inside to stop the spread of the fire to the large attached shop at the rear of the house.” The cause of the fire is under investigation, and the cost of damage is yet to be confirmed. “The fire damage is extensive in the front bedroom, with smoke damage throughout the structure,” Doherty notes. “Campbell River fire fighters remind the public that working smoke alarms provide early detection of a fire, which greatly increases the chance of survival and reduces injuries when fires occur. “Please make sure you have a working smoke alarm in your home.”

Charges have been laid in the arrest of three people following a string of thefts from vehicles going back to last October. B etween Octob er, 2014 and Jan. 15, 2015, Campbell River RCMP responded to approximately 308 complaints of thefts from motor vehicles. C ampb el l River RCMP’s Community Response Unit was assigned to work on the investigation. RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Poppy Hallam said tips from the public, surveillance video and solid police work lead the officers to the suspects. On Jan. 16 the first suspect was arrested and in the early morning of Jan. 17 the remaining two suspects were arrested. A warrant to search a residence on Eardley Road was executed and evidence was recovered. Police announced Tuesday that Mitchell Klody, 18, of Courtenay has been charged with theft under $5,000. Mark Anthony Randall, 20, of Campbell River has been charged with theft under $5,000 and Laura Randall, 25, of Campbell River has been charged

with possession of property obtained by crime, and fraudulent use of a credit card. Since the initial arrest, members of the Community Response Unit compared the items recovered during a search warrant on the residence to open on-going investigations involving theft from vehicles, Cpl. Hallam said. More charges are expected against the three accused. During the course of the investigation, police seized over 100 pieces of evidence related to the thefts from vehicles and will be attempting to reunite these items with the rightful owners. Const. Peter Wise said Campbell River RCMP will be holding an opportunity for victims to view remaining property items on Thursday, Feb. 5 at the Campbell River RCMP Detachment located at 275 South Dogwood Street. The remaining items consist mostly of jewellery, knives, sunglasses, and digital music players.

Hydro bracing for subtropical rainstorm

BC Hydro’s forecasters are following a series of subtropical storms that will be hitting the West Coast of North America beginning Wednesday night. Unlike a relatively narrow band of precipitation directed at the coast from the southwest with high precipitation levels, known as an atmospheric river, these systems look to have a very wide band of heavy rain that will hit the United States and Canada from the south. For central Vancouver Island, BC Hydro forecasts show a potential for between 120 and 300 mm of rain over four days starting Thursday. Temperatures will be warm and freezing levels high, and what limited snow pack we do have will melt further and add to the water inflows into the Campbell River system and other river systems. There is the potential that these storms could

create very high river flows over those four days and beyond. “In my 15 years of involvement on BC Hydro operations on the Campbell River system it’s hard to recall large subtropical storm systems hitting the area in February,” BC Hydro spokesperson Stephen Watson said. “The last such storm was in 2003. Typically they are in the November to January timeframe.” The winds look to be moderate and out of the south to southeast. This may cause a bit of storm surge up the Campbell River estuary. The ocean tides are fairly high, though certainly not King Tides, which will be helpful in limiting downstream flooding impacts, Watson said. The higher high tides are occurring in the morning at 4.2 metres over these four days. The Upper Campbell Reservoir/Buttle Lake is in the higher range for

this time of the year from a storm over a week ago and because the snow pack is low. The reservoir is currently drafting and is now at 219.1 metres. In advance of this storm, beginning this evening, BC Hydro will begin spilling water from John Hart dam down Elk Falls Canyon. The canyon flow rates will be above the base fish habitat flow of 4 m3/s and potentially up to about 110 m3/s based on current forecasts. If water inflows exceed the current forecasts, BC Hydro may increase the spill flow even higher as the storm develops. BC Hydro is issuing a public safety advisory to stay away from the Campbell River, particularly above Elk Falls, beginning Wednesday night through to about mid-February as BC Hydro prefers to spill a smaller amount of water over a longer period of time in consideration of fish habitat. The river

flows will be higher than normal and may also fluctuate as BC Hydro

modifies its operations to consider the high ocean tides. BC Hydro

Staff can open Strathcona directors’ mail Kristen Douglas CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The rest of the Strathcona Regional District directors will allow the organization’s staff to open their mail, in an effort to match the board chair’s policy. At the Jan. 22 board m e e t i n g , d i re c t or s approved the change to how staff handle incoming correspondence. Directors said that having staff handle their mail ensures something doesn’t get missed, as most of the electoral directors live a significant distance away and do not attend the Campbell River regional district office outside of scheduled meetings and other regional district business. Directors asked to be included in the mail

policy change earlier in January at the same time that the policy was altered for chair Jim Abram. But staff asked for additional time to write up the proper wording to change the bylaw which was passed two weeks ago. Abram, who lives on Quadra Island, was the catalyst for the policy change after he approached regional district staff about having his mail opened for him as it arrives. “As chair, there are things that come in that are time sensitive and need to be dealt with by the board,” Abram said at a board meeting in November. “There’s no sense for it to sit in my box for two or three days until I can get here, or have it mailed over to me, to find out it’s an ad

for a new copier.” Director Noba Anderson, who lives even further away – on Cortes Island – said in the past she missed out on an event after she was unable to get her mail at the board office for two weeks. The former practice, adopted in May, 2010, was for directors’ mail to be left unopened in his or her mailbox at the regional district office. Under the new policy, mail addressed to all directors will be opened and passed on to the directors. “In its simplest terms, the policy will authorize staff to determine the most appropriate action to take with respect to any correspondence,” wrote Russ Hotsenpiller, chief administrative officer, in a report to the board.

Our View

All in good fun but... The Shoreline Arts Society does a great job of running one of the most popular events in Campbell River. And their enthusiasm and energy is an inspiration for us all. However, their activities in the past week have been a little curious. First off, an organization that creates carvings during their annual festival is looking for city money to buy a carving from Nanaimo? That doesn’t sound like a worthwhile expense, albeit a minor one. And, secondly, the We say: Poking group also wants to carve our rivals in the a salmon statue that will eye might provoke be larger than the one supposed arch-rivals a true comparison our in Port Alberni have. That’s because, you know, ‘we’re the Salmon Capital of the World and so, therefore, our carving should be the biggest.’ There are three claimants to the title of Salmon Capital: ourselves, Port Alberni and Ketchikan, Alaska. While all this rivalry is all in good fun and helps with tourism promotion, we do have to conduct ourselves with a little bit of dignity. Is this “mine is bigger than yours” stuff not a little...childish? Maybe a display of Transformations on the Shore winning carvings might make a better welcome to Campbell River than a copycat salmon statue.

Online Voices ● “Greenwashing creates an image of caring” – Letters, Jan. 29 Joanne Eriksson One argument bandied about to justify fish farms in the first place, and now with expansion, is that we need these ‘jobs’. What promoters seem to forget is that fishing- and tourism-associated jobs are displaced when our wild fish suffer.

Teachers are adapting, union isn’t

The B.C. education ministry put on a forum on the future of education last week, bringing together public and private school leaders with experts from around the world. I watched the proceedings via webcast from the Wosk Centre for Dialogue in Vancouver, which gives you a hint about the forces pressing in on our century-old industrial model of schooling. First up was Andreas Schleicher, on video link from his office in Paris, where he is director of education and skills for the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. He began with the international problem of people coming out of university who can’t find jobs, amid a skills shortage. Schleicher said this is happening today because, “it’s not what you know but what you can do with what you know.” Some education systems are adapting better than others as the value of merely passing on facts has declined.

The issue seems to be how to instil those basics while avoiding the disengagement of students who see school as irrelevant to their lives. Education Minister Peter Fassbender announced at the forum that the province is about to unveil new curriculum that moves toward individual learning for all students. And he said there will be a series of experiments conducted at yetto-be-identified B.C. schools to pioneer new models of learning. BCTF president Jim Iker sat stoically through the proceedings, where speakers described integrating community groups and businesses directly with schools. That’s underway here, with trades training in particular. Iker’s record on adaptation is clear from his own career. The

Fletcher roast well taken

Kudos to letter writer Debbie Williams for taking Mr. Fletcher to task on his antediluvian attitudes (“Article is stoneaged, head-in-the-sand,” Jan. 30). One does well to question a newspaper that can’t yet spell the word “hippie” (“hippy” means broad in the hips). Mr. Fletcher appears uninformed to speak about the 21st century, where the frontiers of mind/b o dy s cience are being pushed back daily. See the recent Globe and Mail article “Treating the brain and the immune system in tandem” (online); also the link between spirituality and health in the Globe’s 2014 article “Reclaiming medicine’s spiritual roots: Treating people, not just diseases” (online). Regarding vaccination, there are two sides to the question (otherwise why would a U.S. gov’t agency like VAERS [Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System] exist, that receives 30,000 reports per year, and it is estimated that not even one in 100 adverse events are reported by doctors; or the [U.S.] National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) that annually pays out millions of dollars in claims to those who have been injured (lifelong, some of them; or to surviving families of children). This latter agency was created because so many people were suing vaccine manufacturers for damages that the companies were refusing to keep making vaccines. Neutral information can be obtained from the National Vaccine Information Centre (www. nvic.org). These are subjects for dialogue and learning rather than fundamentalist attitudes.

Your View

A slap in the face of all that we’re famous for

Filed for publication with the Mirror. Mayor and Council for Campbell River, So much for the previous title of “Salmon Capital of the World’, so much for the famed Tyee club and associated tourism, a slap in the face of all that Campbell

River was famous for. Regarding your endorsement of new salmon farms you ignore science and facts of ocean tides, waste products from farmed salmon etc etc. The pro duc t and money goes south. I’m very disturbed by your endorsement and I’m

sure many others are too. As a former resident and community contributor, I think you are going down the wrong path ... but wait... there is politics involved.. how much money has the Salmon farm given or donated to Campbell River through the Coun-

cil. When we see everyday how “donations” seemingly BUY govt, that premise may be alive and well there. In case you wonder I was a member/executive of Chamber of Commerce, Recreation Committee, United Way, Jaycees free information

and street map, Minor softball, Minor baseball, Minor hockey, SPCA spokesperson, regular columnist at your local newspaper, Tourist Promotion Society, Tyee Club of British Columbia, volunteer for hatchery programs, S.O.S, supporter of the design

and construction of the Fishing Pier, and a few others I can’t remember. So sad to see the blinding effect of a few dollars especially when the Council defies the rich history of Campbell River. Gary Young Lac La Hache , BC

Re: article and the position taken by City Council – Campbell River City Council support for Salmon Farm Expansion. By openly giving their support to the application from Grieg Seafood seeking to amend existing permitted land use in order to place two new open net pen salmon farms in the Broughton Archipelago area, Campbell River Council, in my opinion, have forsaken the very wild species for which this community is famous. Gone is any perception of prudence or respect for a precautionary principle and replaced by a somewhat cavalier attitude that it is fine to use our coastal waterways as an open sewer and to openly continue with the introduction of an alien,

invasive species that may well impact our own wild stocks in a negative fashion. From the basis of the article it seemed that what was of primary importance was employment. Yes, that is an important aspect of the equation but if one is to discuss the subject of sustainability, viability of fish farms then the potential impacts to environment, biodiversity, wild stocks and what we leave for future generations must be debated at an equal or higher level at the same time. I will not attempt to address each and every concern or bias I may have with the current state of fish farms on our coast as it would be fairly lengthy but will simply put it into this context.

You know there are genuine concerns with respect of open net pens and impacts to wild stocks when more than a dozen British Columbia First Nations, as well as 16 fishing and salmon conservation groups in Canada and the United States requested that a NAFTA environmental commission investigate Canada’s failure to protect wild salmon from disease and parasites from industrial fish farms in British Columbia. One has to become even more concerned when the staff of that particular NAFTA commission concluded that there was enough evidence against Canada to merit a deeper examination only to have our own federal govern-

ment with the support of Mexico vote against proceeding with any type of investigation of fish farms in B.C. When dealing with this particular letter from Grieg Seafood the Campbell River Council should have taken a position that supported, called for action and implementation of recommendations included in the Cohen Commission of Inquiry into the Decline of Sockeye Salmon in the Fraser River. A report which concluded that salmon farms have the potential for “serious or irreversible” harm to wild salmon through disease transfer. The Cohen Commission recommended a freeze on farmed salmon production along part of the

Fraser sockeye migration route until 2020, at which time all farms should be removed unless Canada produces hard evidence that the farms are doing no more than minimal harm. As the situation now stands, I would ask all to note that in January 2014, without any response or action to the Cohen Commission recommendations, the federal government opened the British Columbia coast to more salmon farms.

I am not opposed to aquaculture – fish farms – but the current use of open net pens is not only antiquated technology but its continued practice is highly detrimental to the health and survival of our wild stocks. Well past the time to grow up and move to land based self-contained process. Keep the crap and alien species out of our coastal waters. Dave Crosby Campbell River

City boosters have case of carving envy Kristen Douglas

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The Shoreline Arts Society wants Campbell River to become the Largest Carved Salmon Capital of the World – or at least of Vancouver Island. The society is proposing that Campbell River commission a wooden salmon carving to rival a similar sculpture in Port Alberni. Marcia McKay, secretary for the Shoreline Arts Society, said Campbell River needs to protect its title, particularly from challenger Port Alberni. “ This afternoon I Googled ‘Salmon Capital of the World’ and I was relieved Campbell River came up but then so did Ketchikan, Alaska and then Port Alberni,” McKay told city council during a presentation Jan 26. “Port Alberni has a 13-foot wooden salmon in front of their Chamber of Commerce and they’re working on commissioning a 20-foot salmon.

“We’d like to suggest a little one-upmanship and propose that Campbell River commission a 24-foot carving or bigger,” McKay added. “We think that at 24 feet we’d have the biggest salmon on the Island.” The Society is proposing a carving of a salmon standing upright, coming up out of the water, similar to a model by Campbell River carver Jerry Strelioff done in Chetwynd in 2009. Port Alberni’s 13-foot salmon carving is also a vertical structure and was carved by Vancouver-based Jesse Toso, a regular at the annual Transformations on the Shore carving contest at Frank James Park. To s o i s m o s t l y famously known in Campbell River for carving the giant spider hanging on the wall near the Tidemark Theatre. It’s proposed that Toso will also carve the 20-foot salmon which Port Alberni’s Ultimate Fishing Town committee would like to see on or

near its Centennial Pier. McKay said Campbell River should get into the game too. “We would officially challenge Port Alberni for the Salmon Capital of the World title,” McKay said. “We can help find a carver and source the right logs.” While council encouraged McKay and the Shoreline Arts Society to send a letter formally requesting the city help with the cost of commissioning the large salmon, Coun. Charlie Cornfield said Port Alberni isn’t a threat. “In terms of the Salmon Capital of the World, versus Port Alberni, there’s no comparison,” Cornfield said. “We’ll always show up first on the list in the computer.” Indeed, under a simple Google search for Salmon Capital of the World, Campbell River comes up first – twice, in fact – followed by Ketchikan, Alaska. Port Alberni is sixth on the list of hits.

Carver Dan Richey’s dungeness crab, on display at Nanaimo’s Maffeo-Sutton Park, is for sale for $5,000 and Campbell River’s Shoreline Arts Society wants to purchase it.

Shoreline Arts proposes buying carving Kristen Douglas CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A Campbell River group wants to buy a popular piece of art from Nanaimo. The Shoreline Arts Society, which is behind the annual carving competition at Frank James Park, is proposing to purchase a large carving that once graced Nanaimo’s waterfront. Marcia McKay told city council Jan. 26 that the carving was part of the City of Nanaimo’s public art program which recycles carvings after they turn one year old. “The art goes back to the artist after one year and one of their most popular carvings is now available for purchase from the

artist,” McKay said. “A dungeness crab is up for sale by the artist (Dan Richey). I guess there’s a lot of people in Nanaimo saying ‘where’s the crab?’ Dan has taken it back and it’s in his garage.” The crab is just under 14 feet in diameter, is free-standing and doesn’t require a base. McKay said Richey has coated the claws in rubber to prevent damage to city infrastructure. “We think it would be perfect for Robert Ostler Park or near the aquarium at the Maritime Heritage Centre,” McKay said. “We’ve negotiated first right of refusal and a bargain price of $5,000 for the carving – I’m told it’s worth $10,000.” The crab, which garnered a lot

of attention in Nanaimo’s MaffeoSutton Park, was located near the entrance to the city’s fishing pier and was carved in 2013 from a single red cedar tree. The dungeness crab was removed from the park in 2014 as part of Nanaimo’s revolving outdoor art gallery. But McKay said what is Nanaimo’s loss could be Campbell River’s gain. “We think it would be a great addition to one of the public areas in the city,” McKay said. “It will help with tourism.” McKay told city council that the Shoreline Arts Society would send a formal written request to the city asking council to consider purchasing the dungeness crab.

Delayed review of Strathcona Gardens relaunched

www.CampbellRiverMirror.com www.CampbellRiverMirror.com

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The Strathcona Regional District will review a possible expansion of Strathcona Gardens after the process was held up for nearly half a year. An independent assessment will review and evaluate the programs, services and facilities at Strathcona Gardens. It’s expected to be complete by May. Andy Adams, who chairs the Strathcona Gardens Commission, said the review will give the regional district some insight into what people want. “The goals and needs of our communities have evolved, so it is time to develop a recreation plan for Strathcona Gardens that will see us through the next five, 10 and 20 years,” Adams said in a news release. The regional district has approved $75,000 for the assessment and has hired GDH Consulting Services to carry out the study. The assessment will identify any improvements needed at Strath-

“

THEY SAID IT: “The goals and needs of our community have evolved.”

– Mayor Andy Adams, chair of Strathcona Gardens Commission

cona Gardens which could include a possible expansion of Rod Brind’Amour Arena and the addition of a wellness centre. This facility needs assessment was prompted by findings that came out of a 2004 evaluation of the arena. That evaluation suggested ways to increase the capacity of Rod Brind’Amour Arena – two of which involve renovating the existing arena and one which recommends building a new arena at Strathcona Gardens. That study also included conceptual drawings for a wellness centre to be built beside the swimming pool. Regional district staff suggested a more in-

depth study be done on the recreation facility before taking any action and issued a call for proposals to undertake the needs assessment. The call was put out to businesses last spring but by early July the regional district was forced to call off the project after a poor response to the Request for Proposals (RFP). Russ Hotsenpiller, chief administrative officer of the regional district, said just one proponent showed up for a mandatory site visit. “This is an important project for Strathcona Gardens and this is an unacceptable result for the delivery of a competitive process,” Hotsenpiller said. A new RFP was issued in October and five proposals were received and a rigorous evaluation process was carried out, according to Hotsenpiller. The Strathcona Gardens Commission voted to hire GDH Consulting Services at a meeting on Jan. 22. As the assessment gets underway, the public will be called upon to provide

input. “I invite community members to take part in the opportunities to give their input and share ideas as we set the future direction of Strathcona Gardens,” Adams said. Campbell River and Area D residents will have their first chance to get involved through a survey being sent to 2,300 randomly selected households. Residents will have the option of completing the survey online, www.strathconard.ca/ recsurvey or by mail or telephone. Further opportunities will take place this month and in March and include workshops and other specific interest groups. Anyone who would like to participate in a community workshop or focus group can contact Sheila Van Nus at svannus@strathconard.ca Letters or emails outlining interests or suggestions for Strathcona Gardens will also be accepted until March 15.

Campbell River SAR released the figure as part of a report reviewing last year’s activity by the approximately 40 members of the all-volunteer group. Its members routinely drop whatever they are doing to come and help, whether it is to slog through wet bush, or hike up a steep trail in the dark. Many of them put in extra hours of training to qualify for specialty rescue teams such as Alpine, Swiftwater, Rope rescue and helicopter long-line.

Missoula brings Rapunzel to life J.R. RARDON CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Rapunzel let down her long, golden locks from her high tower and into a world populated by the Three Bears, the Billy Goats Gruff and other fairy tale characters as Missoula Children’s Theatre returned to Campbell River last week. Sponsored by School District 72, the appearance by the touring theatre company gave local students from kindergarten to Grade 12 an opportunity to audition for, rehearse and perform an original musical play, all in the span of six days. “It’s hard-core,” Grade 12 student Manesha Pains said with a laugh, following the first of two performances to a packed house at Timberline Secondary School theatre Saturday. “But it’s really, really fun, and the instructors never make it boring. The rehearsals are just as fun as the performance, I would say.” Missoula Children’s Theatre, based in Missoula, Montana, is made up of pairs of touring actor/directors who travel throughout North America and beyond, teaching theatre skills to youth through schools and other organizations. Tatjana Moffitt and Shelby Mariah Art arrived here following a week in Sointula with full sets of costumes and portable sets, and an original script usually based on a familiar children’s tale that has been modified with music, characters suitable for a wide range

MANAGING YOUR MONEY PAC now for aInvestors more comfortable Group retirement the year.4x10 Plus, you may investments (presuming beneﬁt from the magic you can up with that Sandra Allen CFP, TEP

Senior Financial Consultant

Every year around this time, you scramble to ﬁnd ‘extra’ money to make your contribution to investments held in your Registered Retirement Savings Program (RRSP). And, while maxing your contribution each year is the right path to maxing your savings held in your RRSP for retirement, ﬁnding that ‘extra’ money by the RRSP contribution deadline can be stressful. But stress not next year – there is a much better way: a Pre-Authorized Contribution (PAC) program. PAC-ing for a more comfortable retirement is simple: just set up a regular payment plan – usually an automatic withdrawal from your bank account -- in an amount you can afford. Your investment starts growing right away, meaning it will likely enjoy more growth than if you wait until the end of

of compounding returns which can produce a larger nest egg than contributing a lump-sum at the RRSP deadline.

A regular PAC becomes part of your budget as a monthly cash outﬂow that you probably won’t miss and when markets decline, automatic contributions allow you to purchase more mutual fund shares or units, resulting in a lower average cost over the long term. Here’s an example of the power of PAC-ing: • Set up a regular investment plan – say, $250 into your RRSPeligible investments on the ﬁrst of every month. • At a compound annual return of 6.5%, you’ll have $278,000 of pre-tax assets after 30 years.* • If you wait until the end of each year and invest a lump sum of $3,000 into your RRSP eligible

large chunk of cash on short notice) you’ll have only $259,100 of pre-tax assets after 30 years.

• By PAC-ing each month, you could potentially add $18,900 to your retirement fund – and it doesn’t cost you an extra penny! • In addition to the extra long-term tax-deferred appreciation, your contributions also deliver a nice tax benefit for the current tax year. PAC-ing removes RRSP deadline stress and enhances your retirement income. Talk to your professional advisor about PAC-ing and other sound investment strategies or achieving all your life goals.

Museum to host treaties speaker

The Museum at Campbell River will host University of Victoria guest speaker Neil Vallance on Saturday, Feb. 7 from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. Vallance will speak to the topic ‘The Long Silence of the Vancouver Island (also known at the Douglas) Treaties of 1850-1854’. According to Vallance, “Between 1850 and 1854, 14 treaties were negotiated by a number of Vancouver Island First Nations (including two near Port Hardy) with James Douglas, a Hudson’s Bay Company Chief Factor acting as agent of the Crown. My talk is in part a cautionary tale about the subsequent silencings of the Vancouver Island Treaties (the “VI Treaties”), but it is also a search for ways to restore their voice. I begin with a short description of the initial, nearly complete, silencing,” Vallance adds. “Next I present three long-neglected First Nation accounts of the VI Treaties, and compare them with the standard colonial narratives. I then argue that the written versions of the treaty

describe the imposition of the second silencing and offer suggestions for ending it. Along the way I will describe my research adventures in the archives of Canada, the western United States and New Zealand.” Vallance retired from the part-time practice of law in Victoria to begin his PhD at UVic in Neil Vallance will speak on the lost 2010. Since 1999 he has treaties of Vancouver also been researching and preparing historical Island. reports on claims by First do not accurately reflect Nations alleging the failthe terms agreed upon at ure of the Crown to fulfil the treaty meetings. promises made in the “In my opinion, the so-called Douglas TreaFirst Nations accounts ties, fourteen of which offer an alternate (and were entered into with more convincing) narra- Vancouver Island First tive in which the agree- Nations between 1850 ments made were not to and 1854.

Storm lowers boom on Bucs, Glacier Kings Riley Welyk registered his first career VIJHL shutout as the Campbell River Storm crushed the Comox Valley Glacier Kings 7-0 Saturday night in Courtenay. The rookie netminder stopped all 14 shots he faced and improved his personal record to 5-1 since joining the Storm from the Westshore Wolves one month ago. “It’s a great feeling to get my first shutout,” said Welyk, “That was a goal of mine all season and it’s nice to finally get one. The team played really well tonight – our defense took away their chances and we got some lucky bounces. Things were going my way, I guess.” The win capped a weekend sweep for the Storm, who outlasted Nanaimo 4-2 in a gritty contest Friday at Rod Brind’Amour Arena. Storm head coach Lee Stone praised his young goaltender for stepping up in the absence of regular starter Jesse Michel, who has missed the past three weeks with a lower body injury. “Kudos to Riley,” he said, “He’s done everything we’ve asked of

period proved the difference Friday at Rod Brind’Amour Arena. Josiah Friesen, Tyler Welsh and Will McNamara scored unanswered goals as the Storm pulled away from a 1-1 tie and

took a 4-1 lead into the second intermission while outshooting the Bucs 22-4 in the period. The Storm gave up the opening goal to Nik Malencia in the first two minutes of play, but Colpron drew Campbell River even with a goal off assists from Zack Sanderson and Feeney midway through the period. Otherwise, the squad stuggled for traction offensively as Nanaimo outshot Campbell River 11-10 in the first. Taking the ice to start the second, however, the Storm were again the team that has dominated the Northern Division all year. Campbell River jumped ahead just 45 seconds into the period when Friesen converted on Rauser’s drop pass in the low slot, and the Storm notched the first 13 shots of the period while exhibiting a dominant forecheck from all of their lines. Nanaimo did not manage a shot on goal in the period until getting its first power play more than 10 minutes in, and the Storm successfully killed that penalty before pushing ahead 3-1 on their own man-

him and more – beating Victoria in his first game and then beating our rivals Comox Valley here tonight. For me as a coach it’s a real thrill to see a young player score his first goal in junior hockey or, in this case, get his first shutout.” Welyk received all the offensive support he needed from the line of Colin Blake, Will McNamara, and Tyler Welsh, which combined for thirteen points. Blake led the way with a pair of markers, while McNamara and Gage Colpron each notched their league-leading 36th goals of the season. Welsh, Dane Feeney, and defenseman Nathan Browne added singles. The Storm was without three regulars – Gavin Rauser, Connor Logan, and Ryan Grills – all called up for the night by the Powell River Kings. But, the line-up received a major boost with the return of high scoring left winger Michael Olson from injury. “It was kind of unexpected, but with Rauser and Logan going up (to Powell River), we had a hole to fill,” said Coach Stone, “I thought

advantage chance, when Welsh scored off another nifty pass from Rauser at 14:36. Many of the Storm’s shots were quality opportunities, and only some solid work in goal from Buccaneer netminder Greg Maggio kept the contest from getting out of hand. McNamara made it 4-1 with just 57 seconds left in the second when he punched home a pointblank rebound of Welsh’s shot from the bottom of the left circle. Nanaimo brief ly seemed to regain momentum early in the third when Hobin Zinck scored on a power play at 4:03 to make it a 4-2 game, but Welyk and the defence kept the Buccaneers at bay until Campbell River’s attackers once again established control over the final 10 minutes. “There’s no question we had a good effort against Nanaimo,” Stone said, “I thought we locked it up defensively for the most part. They got one goal off the rush where we didn’t back check hard enough, but other than that we pretty much shut them down.”

Midgets remain on a roll Ucluelet tops tourney Grady McInnes, recently reassigned from a stint with the Campbell River Storm, has quickly found a place with the Campbell River Tyees midgets. McInnes scored a second-period hat trick in the span of five-anda-half minutes, and finished with four goals Sunday as the Tyees rolled to an 8-2 win over visiting Oceanside in Tier 2 North hockey playoff action at Rod Brind’Amour Arena. The midgets improved to 2-0 in round-robin

play with their last two games coming up this weekend — Saturday at

home at 1 p.m. against Comox Valley, and Sunday at 3:30 p.m. at

Nanaimo. Wins in both games would assure the squad top seed from the North and a home semifinal game. Tyler Dickson finished with two goals and an assist and Keaton Dion and Darian Swift added scores for the hosts. Dion and Matt Barker had two assists each and Owen Boyd, Doug Campbell, Swift, Travis Goodwin and Tyson Dumont added singles. Goalie Mike Sampson picked up the win in net while helping his cause with an assist.

Bantam Tyees fall on final shot J.R. RARDON CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A dramatic, gamewinning goal with 1:07 remaining doomed the Campbell River Bantam B Tyees to a 3-2 loss to the visiting Triport Eagles Sunday at Strathcona Garden’s Rink 2. But the seeds of the loss were sown earlier, when the Tyees were unable to capitalize on a series of man-advantage opportunities. “Definitely, earlier in the game we had powerplay opportunities that we didn’t capitalize on,”

Tyees coach Vince Devlin said. “It bit us in the end.” T he Tye e s ne ve r trailed until Triport’s Tanner Roberts lifted a shot from the low slot over the glove of goalie Colton Zaleschuk to snap a 2-2 tie with 1:07 left on the game clock. It turned out to be the game’s final play, as the teams’ ice time had run out in a contest plagued by penalties and stoppages. “There was a little lack of discipline,” Devlin said. “The last 10 minutes we lost our focus,

and North Island never quit. They wanted it more.” Campbell River fell to 0-2 in the Tier 3 North Division round robin — both losses by a single goal. The Tyees wrap up round-robin play on the road this weekend, with games at Nanaimo Saturday and Cowichan Valley Sunday. The top two teams in the North standings will move on to the Island semifinals. Both Tyees goals came on 5-on-3 power plays. After a scoreless first period, Noah Fladager

gave Campbell River a 1-0 lead at 5:43 of the second, punching a point-blank rebound into the empty side of the net following teammate Drew Price’s shot from the opposite wing. The Eagles answered less than a minute later, with Michael Perez onetiming a shot from the low slot off Roberts’ crossing pass. The Tyees went back up 2-1 when Cole Devlin’s shot from the bottom of the circle bounced off Eagles goalie Nigel Walkus and into the net at 7:48 of the third.

William Tom poured in 46 points and Ucluelet pulled away in the second half for a 77-63 victory over Carihi B in championship game of the Campbell River Christian School Invitational boys basketball tournament Saturday. The two-day tournament drew eight teams from a mix of private schools, small remote towns and junior teams from Carihi and Timberline in Campbell River. “Usually it’s more of a play day,” said Kathy Andrews, CRCS athletic director. “We usually get four or five teams. But this year, everybody wanted to come on the same weekend.” Timberline B downed host Campbell River Christian 53-42 in the seventh-place game. Gold River claimed fifth with a 66-61 win over Ahousaht. Nanaimo Christian pulled away late for a 60-39 win over Dwight School of Shawnigan Lake in the third-place contest. After falling behind by 10 points in the early stages of the championship final, Carihi parlayed a big second quarter into a 35-32 halftime lead over the Ucluelet. But the Warriors opened

the third quarter with an 18-3 run and pushed their lead as high as 21 points, at 64-43, early in the fourth. “We just picked up our defence,” said Tom, a Grade 11 student. “We played as a team; everyone helped each other.” Brodie Doherty scored 22 first-half points for Carihi as the Tyees briefly jumped in front. But he sat out most of the third period with foul trouble and managed just four more points — all on free throws — the rest of the way. Aubrey Ludlow added 17 points for Ucluelet.

Josh Nelson had 15 of his 20 points for Carihi in the second half, picking up some of the slack from Doherty’s absence, and Korol finished with 10 points.

The Campbell River Peewee A Tyees continued their romp through the Tier 2 North playoffs, rolling to an 8-4 road win over Oceanside Sunday. The peewees improved to 3-0 in the playoffs, with one game r e m a i n i n g S u n d ay against Nanaimo in the friendly confines of Rod Brind’Amour Arena. A win or tie in that contest would clinch the Tyees the top seed from the North and a home game

in the Vancouver Island Tier 2 semifinals. The Peewee B Tyees, however, ran into perhaps the hottest team in the Tier 3 playoffs and were unable to cool the Triport Eagles in a 9-1 loss in Tier 3 play at Rink 2 Sunday. Kiera Arsenault scored the lone goal for the Tyees, who finish the round robin playoffs on the road this weekend with games Saturday at Cowichan Valley and Sunday at Alberni Valley.

A small contingent of Campbell River wrestlers traveled to Abbotsford last weekend to compete in the 9th annual Miri Piri Club tournament. Several wrestlers had strong performances and it was evident how greatly the skill level keep improving over the season. The senior wrestlers led the way with Timberline’s Dawson MacKay winning the gold medal and Conlan Foy snaring a silver. Carihi seniors were just as impressive, with Ali McPhee finishing with silver and Hailey Dean and Alex Jinda bringing home bronze medals. Two up-and-comers from Phoenix Middle School posted impressive results, with Holten Ewing winning the gold

and Scott Assu finishing fourth. Next on deck for Campbell River’s wrestlers is the local tournament being hosted this Saturday at Carihi, beginning at 9:30 a.m.

Peter Kruse Peter Kruse, 58 of Campbell River passed away peacefully at home on Saturday, January 31st. During his 7 month illness, he received an enormous amount of love from his family and friends. His last days were spent with the ones he loved; his wife Lee-Ann, son Brian (Colin), daughter Sheryl (Troy), grandsons Kashton and Kaycen, father Harry Kruse; sisters Karin (Bruce) Parkin, Gitta Kruse, Barb (Don) Parkin, Sandy (Joe) Shwaluk, father and mother-in-law Lee & Tommy Watson, sister-in-law Dawn (Rick) Mah, brother-in-law Joe (Barbara) Watson and his adoptive Grandma Aunty Kay Watson. His nieces & nephews, Brad, Elise, Jon, Claire. Katrina, Brad, Aaron, Casey, Nick, Misty, Darren and Holly. Peter was predeceased by his mother, Lisa Kruse. As a family we want to thank all those who helped in so many different ways. A celebration of Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life will be held at the Eagleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hall on Friday, February 6, 2015 at 6:00pm with a social to follow.

JANEL ASHCROFT May 5, 1989 - January 27, 2015

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the early passing of our much loved daughter Janel Ashcroft. She leaves behind her daughter Danica Mason; her brothers Randy Dutchak, Padan Ashcroft, James Ashcroft, Kerry and Josh Meyer and her parents Alan and Jan Ashcroft. She will be greatly missed by all her extended family and friends, including her special protector Vince Pleasance, with whom she did so many great things in the last couple of years. She loved the outdoors whether it was hunting, fishing, snowboarding or bonfires on the beach with her friends. Her greatest love though was spending time doing things with her daughter.

If you have a way with words and like to put it to the test, then the Campbell River Literacy Association’s 6th annual Scrabble fundraiser on Saturday, March 7, is for you. Players will enjoy three rounds of Scrabble after being matched up with

others of similar ability as much as possible. Lunch, beverages, and snacks are provided for Scrabble players. Local businesses are supporting the event with

the donation of prizes and food. Prizes will be awarded for areas such as top scores, random score, player bringing in the highest total in donations, and more.

Silence feeds eating disorders What can you do if you or someone you care about has an eating disorder? That’s a question that Island Health would like to help answer. It is estimated that there are 10,000 people living in the Island Health service area who experience the symptoms of an eating disorder, but who are not yet diagnosed. Speaking out and asking for help is the focus of this year’s Eating Disorder Awareness Week taking place from February 1-7 across Canada. An eating disorder is a potentially life-threatening, complex mental illness, often with underlying issues that need to be addressed in order to get well. Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa are two of the most common eating disorders with distinct signs and symptoms. Anorexia has the highest mortality rate of any mental illness. Eating disorders are treatable, and there are a number of program options on Vancouver Island, and across British Columbia working with different types of professionals ranging from mental health providers to physicians and dietitians. There are usually several types of therapy involved, primarily provided in the community, as well as treatment for medical issues. Treatment programs are designed for each individual and their specific needs, and vary from person to person; families are often involved in the recovery process. For info, visit www. viha.ca or the National Eating Disorder Information Centre at nedic. ca.

The fundraiser will run from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. in the Robron Centre’s library, 740 Robron Road. Pre-registration is required. Registration packages may be picked

up at the Robron Centre room number #A121A or Coho Books. Campbell River Literacy is fundraising in support of its literacy programs. For more than

14 years the association has worked to provide free programming. They train volunteer tutors, who work one-on-one or in small groups with learners to improve lit-

eracy skills. If you know someone who could benefit from improving their literacy skills contact the Campbell River Literacy Association at 250-9231275.
