Blasting on the $1.1 billion John Hart Generating Station replacement project has moved underground. Tunneling and underground cavern excavation is underway and expected to continue until April. Stephen Watson, spokesperson for BC Hydro, said the south end of the tunnel has been carved out and is currently 10 metres long. This tunnel will make way for a new, seismically-sound underground generating station. Crews have also been busy making way for the construction of a new bridge crossing beside the existing Brewster Lake Road Bridge. In the past month, several trees have been cleared on BC Hydro property off Brewster Lake Road. “No logging occurred on BC Parks land,” Watson said. “About 20 hazard trees have been identified on BC Parks land and some will be removed (about 12), others will be topped or left as is. Any trees removed from BC Parks requires compensation planting and those details are being determined.” The new bridge crossing will allow construction vehicles to make their way over the three penstocks, which will eventually be removed and replaced with a single, underground tunnel. Construction is expected to begin on the penstock bridge crossing in April to coincide with the full closure of Brewster Lake Road and the old bridge, Watson said. “Intermittent Brewster Lake Road

t is unlikely Dr. Mike Finn will ever be confused with a rock star. But the longtime Campbell River dentist had patients lined up around his building beginning at 4 a.m. when he held a free dental care clinic as part of Dentistry from the Heart last year. “It was like going to a Led Zeppelin concert,” Finn joked. “We worked from 8 (a.m.) to 4 (p.m.), non-stop. It was a huge success.” Finn, associate Paul Neate and their staff will headline another stop on the Dentistry from the Heart tour this Sunday, Feb. 8, at Dogwood Dental Health Centre. Dr. Paul Helpard of Shoreline Orthodontics also took part last year and will return for the 2015 event. The event offers free fillings and extractions for adults who are in need of dental care but who may not be able to afford it. “Most kids in need are covered (for dental care),” said Finn. “It’s actually quite a good system. But say a single mom has three kids — she has no coverage.” The free service is limited to fillings and extractions, due to the time limitations of dealing with large numbers of patients waiting on a first-come, first-served basis. “This is like M*A*S*H dentistry,” Finn said. “Last year, if someone needed four (fillings) in one corner, we’d go ahead and do that. But we can’t get into major reconstruction.” As a result, many patients who had been putting off dental procedures came in during last year’s free event to

simply have the offending tooth pulled. “We did a lot of extractions,” Finn said. “It might be a case where we could help them with root canals and crowns and a lot of extensive work, but that can run into thousands of dollars. “A lot of people are in pain but they can’t afford it. It’s sad, really.” Dentistry from the Heart was started in 2001 by Florida dentist Vincent Monticciolo. It has since grown to more than 300 events helping thousands of patients across North America, Ireland, Australia, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and New Zealand. Finn said he learned of the program when one of his assistants brought information

Community Health Network under consideration Kristen Douglas Campbell RiveR miRRoR

Island Health and the Strathcona Regional District are working together to try and improve community health care and in the process, quality of life. The two organizations are studying the potential of creating a Community Health Network. Sheila Van Nus, special projects manager for the regional district, said such a project would allow citizens to “come together and speak with a collective voice on health issues and share ideas and resources to build healthier communities.” A Community Health

Network (CHN) would work to help health care providers pin point specific regional issues that are contributing to poor health and quality of life. “A CHN aims to improve health and wellbeing by focusing on the social determinants of health, broadly described as the circumstances in which people are born, grow up, live, work and age, as well as the system put in place to deal with illness,” Van Nus wrote in a report to the regional district board. “Among the recognized issues in the regional district were homelessness, affordable housing and transportation, access to services, employment opportunities, social support net-

works and education.” A health report presented to Campbell River city council last summer painted a disturbing picture of the region’s overall health. Dr. Charmaine Enns, Island Health’s North Island medical officer, said Campbell River’s average life expectancy is two years shorter than the Vancouver Island average, its rate of death due to drugs and suicide is second highest on the Island and Campbell River residents consume 13 litres of alcohol per month – which is the third highest rate on the Island. There are also 23 children per 1,000 that need protection in Campbell

River, compared to the average of 12 per 1,000 across the rest of B.C. R e g i ona l D ist r i c t Director and Mayor Andy Adams told the Mirror in August that he would like to see a Community Health Network established in the region, “where various groups and agencies all support the goal of addressing the (root) problems, rather than the resulting societal health issues.” Island Health already appears to be on board, and has hired a community developer to work on the potential of developing a Community Health Network. “Sue Pearson joined Island Health on January 12 and will dedicate

approximately one day per week to the CHN during the start-up phase of the project,” Van Nus wrote. “Island Health has requested that the regional district provide office space for the community developer while she is working on the CHN.” The regional district, for its part, is currently in the process of determining how it could support the creation of a Community Health Network

and what form it would take, including the development of a service. The regional district met with 30 different stakeholders in October to explore the potential of creating such a project. Van Nus said it’s now up to the Strathcona Regional District’s board of directors as to whether they want to take the next step. “To make use of the res ources provide d by Island Health, staff

will continue to work with Island Health and other interested parties leading up to the 2015 Strategic Priority session scheduled for Feb. 13 where the board will be provided with an analysis report and policy options,” Van Nus said. “There is clearly momentum associated with this project. The current challenge is to sequence the actions of the various parties in a cooperative manner.”

Our View

A relaxed attitude on marijuana The attitude towards marijuana in this province is in sharp contrast with the approach in other parts of Canada. Proof of that comes in details from a court document, filed as part of an application to seize a property near the Aldergrove border crossing which was the subject of a massive search last week. Although the large property just drew public attention last week, the documents suggest it has been used for marijuana production since 1993. That’s a 22-year period. It is important to keep in mind that, in 1993, growing and selling marijuana for any purposes was illegal in Canada. While there were advocates for medicinal marijuana, which has since been allowed, growWe say: Our ing, selling and using the product could lead to approach could criminal charges. influence other Yet as the documents suggest, there was plenty jurisdictions of marijuana being grown in Langley (and other parts of B.C.) at that time. Some was for local consumption, and some was truly for medicinal purposes. However, the vast majority was grown for shipment to the U.S. and other countries, often in return for other drugs or guns. B.C. residents have had a more laissez-faire attitude towards marijuana since the late 1960s, and a willingness to put up with marijuana growing, if not actively partaking in what has been a big business, has been strong for many years. Could any other province have been so receptive to marijuana activist Marc Emery who, after serving several years in a U.S. jail, is encouraging American marijuana users to come here and buy their supply — even though it remains illegal to sell it, except for medicinal purposes? It seems likely that, if the legalization of marijuana in Washington and Colorado turns out to be successful, marijuana will be legalized throughout North America some day. If that does happen, B.C. marijuana activists, and the laissez-faire attitude that so many B.C. residents have, will have played a major role. -Black Press

Campbell River needs to step up for the homeless I would like to know why there isn’t more funding for the emergency shelter here in Campbell River? They seem to find $250,000 for traffic lights but I guess human life isn’t worth anything? And why is there no politicians standing up for our less fortunate citizen? Glen George Campbell River

Adding to the Driftwood story

Thank-you so much for printing the article on the Driftwood Café; it was a trigger to fond memories and created a stir in the family of all the stories just waiting to be told to the next generation. The Coward family met and remained friends with so many people that came through the door. Some of the toughest and most rewarding times in our parents life. Bill and Eleanor Coward and of course our Gram, Ivy Coward. Truly a family affair. When my parents purchased the Driftwood it had been run for years as “Howard’s Mariner” by a local family. Father changed the name and we worked hard to build a reputation for good home cooking. The Oyster Bay Resort and The Oyster bay Store were also run by families trying to make a better life for their families. The three businesses – family run by The Browns, Evans and Cowards – all had children to help the parents in the daily operations. As teenagers

we always knew what we were doing each weekend...work! The resort had cabins and RV spaces and busy gas pumps with a boat house and launch on the water side. From April to October it was like “A little America” with all the tourists and the fishing was great. The store was between the café and the restaurant and was a going concern. We complemented and helped each other, as small communities do. The first years were extremely difficult financially but we toughed it out, sometimes staying open bringing in $3 one day but Dad was determined to stay open. His thoughts were that if he ever closed it would take forever to build the trust with the public . When he first opened his attitude was “The customer is always right”...after being in business for a while it became “The RIGHT customer is never wrong.” We tried running an ice cream stand for a short time but Dad moved on to opening his cocktail lounge

which was more into the sign of the times. The old gas pumps were removed and more parking created. The early years were tough as we had very poor water. Dad made a deal with The Glen Alder Resort across the bay and he hauled city water in health board approved sterile containers for all the coffee and drinking water...a huge task but eventually we were able to drill a new well that serviced all our needs. The days of the Rubbermaid “garbage “can was over!! Our mother Eleanor and grandmother Ivy – Mrs. C and Gram to all – ran the day-today operations and wanted people to feel comfortable and well fed...home cooking at it’s finest. Forty years later I still run into customers that ask about Gram’s banana cream and coconut cream pies and her famous “butter tart” still live on. Many a wedding and family Christmas party was planned for the Driftwood. If you did not book your business Christmas party early

you found out you were out of luck. During the early days at the Driftwood about a dozen “draft dodgers” lived in uninsulated cottages at Bennets Point Resort on the corner. These young Americans spent many a happy hour at the Driftwood playing the big old piano. We learned a new point of view after talking and getting to know these folks and our Mom mothered them in times when they were missing their own families thousands of miles away. When the Blue Grouse was in operation it provided lively entertainment for the camp that was set up on the north side – booths and small juke boxes and the best dance floor on the north end of the island. It was the place to be on a Friday night. All in all the Driftwood has a colourful history. I have received many a comment since last week’s Mirror, I thought I should just add to the story.

Fish farms don’t harm wild runs I am writing to update your readers on Grieg Seafood’s new farm site applications in the Clio Channel area north of Campbell River. In the first place it is important to ask why? Why do we need to farm fish? It is well known that wild fish stocks cannot keep up with the growing global demand for seafood. There are simply not enough fish in the sea to keep up with the needs of our increasing human population. Solutions are needed and at Grieg Seafood we are committed to being part of the solution. Farming fish, just like we farm other food, is the only way to meet this urgent need. These two farm sites will further enable B.C. to be part of the solution, benefiting wild fish stocks, our economy and our community. As part of the comprehensive informationgathering process relating to these two farms, an environmental and habitat evaluation has been undertaken and submitted as part of

these applications. There is now a robust review of our two proposed farm sites by both federal and provincial regulators. This is science-based and thoroughly evaluates the proposals before a decision is made. The Cohen Commission report in 2012 provides further evidence that salmon farming and wild salmon stocks can live well together, with farm-raised salmon complimenting wildcaught fish in the market place. Commissioner Cohen stated that there was no evidence that salmon farms were negatively affecting the Fraser River Sockeye (Final Report Volume 3, p.24). Further, the commissioner concluded that the 2009 collapse was caused by ocean conditions in the Straight of Georgia. On-going research has given further confidence that salmon farms do not negatively affect wild salmon runs here in British Columbia. Our sector continues to partner with independent research agencies to

investigate wild salmon population dynamics and health. It is also worth remembering that there were over 60 recommendations made by Commissioner Cohen that didn’t relate to aquaculture that will also help to guide fisheries management decisions into the future. The recommendations that did relate to our farming sector were all endorsed and fully supported by all of British Columbia’s salmon farmers. We are also ver y pleased to note that the Tlowitsis Tribe whose traditional territor y these two farms are in has indicated their full support for these developments. If approved, these two

new farms will directly create six new wellpaying, permanent, full time jobs in the region as well as support and create further employment in our head office in Campbell River, at the processing plant on Quadra Island, as well as a wide range of service and supplier jobs.

There is an Open House in Port McNeill at the Black Bear Resort from 4 - 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 10 for members of the public to come and meet our staff, ask questions and provide comments. Stewart Hawthorn Managing Director Grieg Seafood BC Ltd.

City to put an end to waiving development fees KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

City council later this month will establish a

Just ed! v i rr A

budget for dealing with non-profit housing initiatives such as Habitat for Humanity. The change comes

the city pay for the charges itself. Al Kenning, acting city general manager of corporate services, said that council’s current practice of simply waiving the fees presents a problem. “Exempting nonprofit housing from these charges does not mean the related costs of processing and servicing the project go away,” Kenning wrote in a report to council. “In virtually every case, the charges are meant to offset, or partially offset, the costs imposed by a new project. “If the project is exempt, then these costs are not recovered, thereby transferring them to the general taxpayer or to other development projects.” Kenning said there’s also the issue of proper infrastructure being overlooked. “Waiving, or varying, works and services like sidewalks, landscaping and related works can be very detrimental to the community if the

after city staff recommended council stop waiving development fees for such projects. Instead, staff suggests

works are not built,” Kenning said. “These works had been determined by council to be important, or even essential, when the works and services standards were adopted.” Kenning’s report was facilitated by a motion passed by council on July 8 of last year, asking for a staff report on how best to respond to an increasing number of requests for financial assistance for nonprofit housing projects. In the last five years, council has agreed to waive, vary, forgive or pay city-imposed development related costs for four groups including Habitat for Humanity and the Women’s Transition Shelter. A fifth request from the Campbell River Head Injury Society, worth $485,000, is currently under consideration by council. Kenning said that city staff believe the best way, moving forward, for dealing with such requests is to establish a policy that requires

the city to pay the fees, charges and works and services if the project is determined by council to be in the public interest. “Under such a policy, waiving the fees and works would not be an option,” Kenning said. “This also ensures that council and the community understand the full cost of the decision to provide support.” Kenning suggested the fees be paid using council’s contingency account. “Given the irregular and uncertain nature of the requests, use of council contingency seems logical,” Kenning said. “The council contingency budget may have to be increased in future to accommodate these costs. Staff believe such a process provides a much higher level of financial accountability and control over the option of waiving fees by amending the necessary bylaws.” It would also allow council to be more selective in which projects it deems worthy of

support; council could elect to pay all or only a portion of the development fees, said Kenning, depending on the perceived social value of the project. “Staff also believe that this process sends the appropriate message to the development community and to all citizens,” Kenning added. “This message is that these charges represent important cost recovery or fund important services and it is not appropriate for them to be waived since they have to be paid or funded by someone.” Council agreed and in August resolved to fund certain nonprofit housing projects from a new council contingency account – the Community Land Development fund. While council only received Kenning’s report for information purposes at its Jan. 26 meeting, council will hammer out a budget for the new account at the end of the month during budget planning.

Campbellton group Lingerie for 4x6 that special day seeking input on or everyday. community garden J.R. RARDON CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

After going to City Council with a proposal for a community garden in Campbellton, the Neighbourhood Association is hoping the idea takes root with the community. Residents are invited to attend an organizational meeting for a new community garden Feb. 18 from 6-7 p.m. at Ryan’s Pizzeria. The community garden, which could feature up to 50 raised beds, is proposed for Campbellton Park, near the corner of 15th Ave. and Peterson. “Our focus is on integrating the playground into the space and adding fencing around it to keep out deer and provide security for families who want to bring young children,” said Brian Shaw, co-chair of the Neighbourhood Association. “We want to make it a bit of a social area.” To make this vision a reality, however, the community will need to agree it wants a community garden. Shaw said the city has made a commitment to utilize existing green space throughout Campbell River, and City Coordinator Linda Nagel is working with Shaw and the association on the proposed community garden project. “This is the first time we’ve really pushed on a community garden,”

1x3 used

said Shaw. “We haven’t gone to the community with it yet, but we’re sending out a pamphlet to locals saying the same thing we told the city.” He said Greenways Land Trust, which administers the community garden in Willow Point, has provided unofficial confirmation it would be willing to consider administering a prospective Campbellton garden. “If there’s no real interest, though, why do it?” Shaw asked. “We need a champion to make it happen, we need community consent to make it hap-

pen, and we need the support of all the community to push it forward.” With the community garden still in a proposal stage, there is no dedicated funding. But Shaw envisions people working to secure grants and subsidies, and some combination of funding and in-kind support from the corporate sector. “This would be a nice project for a business to have its name attached to, if it was willing to, say, share some fencing it happened to have in the back of its shop,” Shaw said.

Coachman to serve up jazz

Forbidden Jazz Trio headlines the Royal Coachman Pub this Sunday. Featuring Jake Masri on trumpet, flugelhorn, and vocals, Michael Eddy on keyboard, Grahame Edwards on bass, and Tom Tinsley on drums and vibraphone, they attract audiences of all ages by performing a varied mix of timeless jazz standards plus originals. Representing more than four decades of experience, their unique blend of voice, brass, and strings will weave their collective magic through three sets of entertaining music. Joining the trio on drums and vibraphone is special guest Tinsley. Don’t remind him he has played percussion for almost half a century, because deep inside he still feels like a teenager. From humble beginnings, beating on pots and pans in his mother’s kitchen, he eventually studied with four of Vancouver’s most successful drummers (including Lew Hilder, Graham Boyle, Jim Valance, and John Rudolph). In addition to teaching drums at various points in his life, Tinsley has appeared in a variety of groups performing genres of music such as Jazz, Rock, Latin, Pop, Big Band, Musical Theatre (with Disney), Symphonic (with Vancouver Symphony

Orchestra), Choral, and Modern Dance. Aside from drums, his passion remains the vibraphone (played with four mallets), both as a solo instrument and in small group settings. Keyboard master Eddy is a welcome addition to the local music scene. Since relocating to the Comox Valley, he has been fortunate enough to collaborate with many fantastic musicians over the past few years. During a long and distinguished career, he has performed with a multitude of groups from Dixie to Rock, and was Musical Director for Keyano College Theatre in Fort McMurray for Jake Masri will be appearing as part of the ten years.

Even our own Pier is home to some great fishing tales. It’s great to see Campbell River kids taking advantage of all of our natural activities. With all the places and all the reasons we have to fish, it’s no wonder teens are finding themselves alongside the water.

Surviving exam week pressure cooker greta hamilton Carihi Mirror

It’s exam week and students at Carihi are in the pressure cooker. How do they let off steam? I asked a few students what they did to relieve stress, and here’s what they had to say. Joanna Morrison, a grade 11 student at Carihi says, “I normally go

outside to get some fresh air, either in the forest or on the beach. Then I watch my favorite movie to cool off. “If I’m too stressed I throw technology aside to study for a few hours to make sure I know what I need for the exam. Being prepared always alleviates stress.” Some students have productive means of

expression, but all have a specific routine that plays out when academic work gets overwhelming. Char Amelia says, “When I’m stressed my brain usually shuts off, so I lay down and do nothing until it turns back on. And I get frustrated and cry. So when I have a lot to do and I’m stressed about it, I just do nothing. Sometimes I go on

a run, but usually just watch Grey’s Anatomy.” With students on edge and feeling low, the entire schools anxiety levels are raising as well. I asked Carihi Principal Sean Toal what he thought of the matter. He had this to say: “Students should keep in mind that stress isn’t always a bad thing, and that it can be managed

by getting enough rest, physical activity, and proper nutrition. By taking care of yourself physically, you can increase the opportunity of performing under pressure. “We should also keep in mind that students show their learning in a number of different ways and exams measure performance in one way and at a particular time.

“We don’t use these results to define abilities or skills in subject areas, they are more of a measure or checkpoint of their learning. Having a bad two hours in an exam session doesn’t have to define the other 100 or so hours students have devoted to a class and all of the learning activities that occurred there. Even though we

take our exam results seriously, students who are not happy with their Provincial Exam results can rewrite them if they feel that their grade on the exam doesn’t reflect their true abilities.” So, although it may seem rough as a student, Carihi’s low key vibes are always around to relieve students and get them through their stress.

the constant reminder of graduation lingers for most grade 12 students. Those leaning towards university or college have plans and ideas like Megan Grant: “I’m planning on going to school in the fall, mostly because I know what I want to do, and I want to

get my degree as soon as possible.” Brooke Eidsvik also had a similar answer: “I’m planning on going to post-secondary for sure” and when asked why, she replied with a sincere answer: “I want to have a career I actually enjoy and to wake

up every day loving what I do.” With the stress of exams looming over everyone, students are also asking themselves “how much more of this can I, and want to do?” Indecision can be an issue before launching into a huge commitment such as post-secondary

education. “I know that school is something I will eventually want to do, but I’d like to travel in hopes I gain clarity on my future education and career,” says one student. For others it’s more about finding their way in life, outside of Campbell

River. One thing both schooling and travel have in common is a financial strain. Although some would like the option, it’s simply not one until they have the funds, leading them in the direction of work. For others it’s about achieving goals, like dancer Jesse Devlin:

“Some people tell me I’m wasting my time, but it’s about what I love to do, I believe in myself and that’s all that matters. The future that’s important to most is working hard and achieving their dreams, whether or not that includes a degree or career path.”

The greening of Carihi continues with the development of a community garden Cheylyn lougheed Carihi Mirror

Thanks to a new garden project, Carihi is about to get a little greener. Jessica Mann, who instructs the cafeteria and baking programs at Carihi, developed the project, which consists of a full-scale garden on school property that will be managed

and used by a variety of groups within the school. With the produce going towards lunches for students, students of the cafeteria, baking, and Skills for Life programs will maintain the garden, with other classes, such as Science 9, using the garden as a learning tool within their curriculums. “The garden is a long term project that will

carry on for many years to come. As long as we have interested teachers and students, the garden will survive. The structure we have built is permanent with room to grow.” Mann plans to get some plants in the ground, build a fence, and set up an irrigation system by the end of the school year, with future goals including a com-

Six runners, joined by a mobile support crew, will run a 600-plus kilometre relay beginning Feb. 15 in Port Hardy and wrapping up Feb. 20 in Victoria. Along the route, local Royal Canadian Legion branches are hosting meet-and-greet events for the runners and crew. The team is scheduled to stop in at Campbell River’s Legion at 6 p.m. Feb. 16, for a social gathering at the end of the second leg of its relay. Because of other scheduled events at the Hall that evening, there will be limited space for the public, said Barry Watson of the Campbell River Canadian Legion.

Do you recommend that I get the shingles vaccine?

Dealing with the immune system is never a simple, easy question. It depends on many factors including your age, the Dr. Ingrid Pincott ND Naturopathic Physician underlying health condition you may have and on the preventive treatment program that you are currently following. If someone never gets a cold or flu then I would say your risk might be lower than someone who has diabetes and gets a bad flu every year. Naturopathic medicine offers many levels of immune system support and some are recommended year round. These include adequate Vitamin D, ie the amount that keeps your blood levels at 150nmol/l, probiotics to prime the immune system in your intestinal tract and fish oils that provide an anti-inflammatory effect on every organ in the body. If you have been taking these remedies regularly then your chances of getting shingles might be greatly reduced. However if you do start to get tingling and pain associated with shingles you can do something about it right away! Dr. Gifford-Jones formula Medi-C Plus is one such recommendation along with Vitamin B12 in high dosages or injected intramuscularly. Mainstream medicine cautions against high doses of B12 and lysine but naturopathic physicians do not. Therapeutic doses are required for therapeutic results in order to avoid or reduce the number of prescription medications. Naturopathic medicine offers informed choices and education so that you can make up your own mind. Sign up on my website to receive my published articles every three weeks.

Does the book have a future?

Trevor McMonagle will moderate the next Philosopher’s Cafe topic – the future of the book.

Is the book important? UNESCO considers book publishing an essential element of the cultural health of a country. But is the book doomed? Must it change form? Will it be supplanted by the internet and electronic devices? Will our children read? Are there enough of us that still want to read a paper publication to make it a viable enterprise? Come to the Philosophers’ Café Wednesday, Feb. 11, from 6:307:30 p.m. as Trevor McMonagle – teacher, editor and bibliophile – leads a discussion on the future of the book. As with each Café, McMonagle will have just 10 minutes to introduce the topic, and then the floor

is open for 50 minutes of moderated discussion. Philosophers’ Cafe is a oncea-month forum at the On-Line Gourmet Cafe, in which speakers introduce a theme to the Café. All who attend can then join in respectful, non-partisan conversation, or just sit back and listen. You are welcome to propose topics and introduce them at future Cafés. Themes should be of broad interest and national significance, and have an element of controversy to them. Cost is free. The On-Line Gourmet Cafe is located at 970 Shopper’s Row in downtown Campbell River. For more information, contact peter@peterschwarzhoff.ca.

So why do we get so much of the bald eagle population localized in our back yard over the winter? The short answer is food and temperature. Coastal bald eagles have adapted to follow salmon runs. Shortly after bald eagle fledglings have left the nest (early to midAugust), salmons runs begin in Alaska, and on the mid and north coast of British Columbia. Many of our resident eagles will migrate northward to take advantage of the early salmon runs. As the salmon runs progress in a southward direction, the Alaskan eagles (and our wayward resident eagles) follow the salmon runs down to the Salish Sea. Bald eagle winter populations in the Salish Sea tend to be highest when there is a combination of low temperatures in Alaska, and high chum salmon returns in the Salish Sea. Like bears preparing

for winter hibernation, bald eagles need to prepare for a winter period of sparse food. The majority of bald eagle mortality occurs during mid-winter

between the last Chum Salmon runs in December and the annual arrival of spawning Herring mid to late February. Between that period, eagles will often

be forced to hunt less desirable prey species or increase scavenging. ■ Eagle Festival 2015 After a long winter period with little food,

the arrival of spawning herring is literally a life saver for many eagles. It is this anniversary that we celebrate with the Bald Eagle Festival each year in Campbell River. In fact, MARS will be hosting the 10th annual “Bald Eagle Festival” in Campbell River at the Maritime Heritage Centre on Saturday, Feb. 21. Make sure to mark this on your calendar as this is a great family event and an important fund raising event for MARS. The theme this year is “The Rearing Period” highlighting the struggles birds face rearing their young. Please watch for further details over the next few weeks. To report injured wildlife please call 250-337-2021. To read our latest updates and upcoming events visit www.wingtips.org.

BOOMERS & Beyond Healthy Aging: Is it Time to Stop Driving? You may want to have a say in this decision, or you may simply want to follow your doctor's recommendation. Either way, the following information will help you understand what your choices are so that you can talk to your doctor about them. Your options • Stop driving. • Keep driving, but watch for warning signs that driving is no longer safe. Key points to remember • As you get older, your vision, reflexes, and hearing change. These

changes can make it harder for you to drive safely. • People age 70 and older are more likely to crash than any other age group besides drivers age 25 and younger. And because older drivers are more fragile, they are more likely to get hurt or die from these crashes. • There's no set age when everyone should stop driving. Each person is different. But keep in mind that most people drive 7 to 10 years longer than they should. Warning signs to watch for: - You often have close calls with other

drivers. - You have trouble moving your foot between the gas and brake pedals, or you get confused between the two. - Loved ones are worried about your driving. - You feel scared or nervous when you drive. - Other cars, bikes, or people seem to appear out of nowhere. - You miss traffic signs and signals when you drive. If you do decide to keep driving, how can you drive safely?

Prescriptions filled.

Peace of mind included.

If you have weighed the pros and cons and have decided to keep driving, think about taking a driver safety course for older drivers. It will help you measure how well you can drive. The Canada Safety Council and some private companies offer courses. Check with your provincial motor vehicle department for information on senior driver education and to find out if courses are available in your area. Next, talk with your doctor about any health problems that could get in the way of driving safely, such as: • Joint pain. Pain and stiffness can make it hard to turn your head or the steering wheel. A car with automatic transmission and power steering can make it easier for you to drive. Staying active and exercising can help improve your strength and flexibility. • Vision loss. Have your eyes checked every 1 to 2 years if you are 65 or older. Or have them checked sooner if you notice a change. Make sure your eyeglass

prescription is accurate. • Hearing problems. Have your hearing checked regularly, and use a hearing aid if you need one. To stay safe while driving: • Avoid driving at night or in bad weather. • When in doubt, don't go out. • Drive on streets you know. Keep your headlights on at all times. • Take roads that let you avoid risky spots such as ramps and left turns. Or try to find routes where left turns have greenarrow signals. • Leave plenty of space between you and the car in front of you. Start braking early when you know you'll need to stop soon. • Avoid distractions such as eating, listening to the radio, or having

If you do drive on the freeway, stay in the righthand lane. Traffic moves more slowly there. This might give you more time to make safe driving decisions. Talk with your family and friends about your transportation needs. They may be able to help. Or think about public transit and taxis as a way to get around. Ask your local senior centre for other ideas. Source: www.healthlinkbc.ca

Storm gears up for playoffs with big weekend The VIJHL playoffs officially get underway in two weeks but, unofficially, they start tonight for the Campbell River Storm. With just a handful games remaining in the regular season, the Storm (35-41-2) is anxious to build positive momentum heading into the post season. They have ample opportunity this weekend with a grueling three-in-three set that begins tonight in Saanich against the Braves. Tomorrow the locals move on to Oceanside to face the Generals, before returning home Sunday afternoon for a 4 o’clock puck drop against the Comox Valley Glacier Kings. Riley Welyk is expected to get his seventh straight

start in net for Campbell River tonight, replacing Jesse Michel who continues to recover from a lower body injury. The rookie goaltender from North Vancouver has only lost once since joining the Storm more than a month ago. Other than Michel, Coach Lee Stone’s squad is as healthy as it’s been since the start of the season, a situation which creates new challenges. “It’s a hard job as a coach now that everybody is healthy,” he said. “There’s going to be a couple players every night that are sitting out, and those are generally guys that could be first- or second-liners on a lot of other teams in

this league. But, that’s part of the reason they are here in the first place – to be on a winner.” Stone also reported this week that 17-year-old forward Daine Elphicke has left the team for personal reasons. The Kelowna native was acquired from the Princeton Posse in late November. The Storm has not lost to Saanich this season and trounced the Braves 8-0 in their last meeting at George Pearkes Arena Nov. 12. Sunday afternoon’s contest against Comox Valley will feature a visit by The Green Men, part of the zany pair’s farewell tour around the province to raise money for the Canadian Cancer Society.

Rogers snares slopestyle silver on Mt. Washington

Morgan Rogers of Campbell River soared to a runner-up finish in the overall men’s results Sunday as more than 50 freestyle snowboard athletes from across the

province visited Mount Washington Alpine Resort to compete in two BC Snowboard Provincial Series Slopestyle competitions. Race events were held

both Saturday and Sunday in the Rockstar Terrain park. The course consisted of a series of jumps, rails and boxes. In early January the competition had been put

on stand-by, due to lack of snow, however midmonth snow accumulations allowed the event to go ahead as planned. “Snow conditions were not ideal,” said Cathy

Astofooroff, Executive Director of BC Snowboard, “but Mount Washington Park Crew built an amazing setup, very fun!” The weekend also

included competition in the First Nations Snowboard Team’s Island & High Performance Division produced podium results both days, and Aiva Noringseth of

Courtenay, placed third in the U19 women’s event on Saturday and Knowlton Griffiths of Comox placed third in the U13 division in Sunday’s finals.

Good hearing, poor comprehension? 7x5.5

The number of people who can hear well, but can’t understand what’s being said, is increasing. This is most evident in conversations and watching television. A newlydeveloped hearing chip is designed to restore speech comprehension without being noticeable in the ear.

A lot of people have poor comprehension, though they actually still hear well. It becomes noticeable in conversation, watching television and asking family to repeat what’s been said. A potential cause can be undetected loss in the high-frequency range. This means the sensory cells in the cochlea that hear high-range sounds are damaged as a result of circulatory disorders, diabetes, sudden hearing loss or workplace noise. Hearing loss in the highfrequency range makes speech sound muffled and unclear. The person with hearing loss mixes up, or can no longer hear, consonants like s, f, t, k, h and g. Speech comprehension is particularly impaired when there is background noise or when television programs have background music. The dilemma is that people with hearing loss in the high-frequency range do not

and speech comprehension analysis is done. Where inner-ear damage is present, a software program analyzes the difference relative to normal hearing. These values are then input into the new Venture hearing chip in the Audéo V, which precisely takes into account and balances the frequency range of the person being tested. The test phase in particular is designed to clarify how speech comprehension can be improved in various situations and what role a new technology called “Autosense OS” plays. The chip recognizes where the person being spoken to is located and amplifies only his or her voice, while ambient noise is lowered and the optimum hearing programs are seamlessly adjusted. Thanks to several synchronous microphones, the hearing system can detect sound in all directions and select the direction that speech is coming from within milliseconds. According to Swiss researchers, this significantly augments speech comprehension, especially in conversation.

High School rugby kicks off

Carihi rugby players gather around the coaching staff for instruction during a practice session at the school.

With the 2015 high school rugby season set to begin, the Carihi boys rugby team is looking for players in grades 9-12, both new and experienced. All players are welcome, whether or not they have played before, as the sport will accommodate all skill levels. That’s just one reason why, according to head coach Darren Munro, “rugby is the best sport in the world!” Training will be Monday and Wednesday after school, players need to dress for weather and wear cleats and a fitted mouth guard. The team also welcomes

newcomer Kevin Seibert in an assistant coaching role. This year sees the return of girls high school rugby as well. Coaches Marie-Eve Brindamour, Jessica Leck and Erin Young are pleased to invite girls in grades 8-12 in any Campbell River school to join them Mondays at Carihi’s field and Wednesdays at Timberline’s field. “We have been given a startup grant to purchase jerseys, and permission from the Island league to combine schools to help grow the game here in Campbell River,” says Young. “Having Marie-Eve, who recently played representa-

tive rugby for BC Senior Women and Canada’s Senior National 15s in addition to New Zealand and South Africa rep rugby, able to share her knowledge and experience will make this a perfect year for local girls to get involved.” Young also stressed that no prior experience is needed. “Many girls express concern that they’ve never played before and we explain that everyone their age is fairly new to the game — both their teammates and the opposition. We keep things simple and fun and everyone learns together.” Coaches and teammates want to

Campbell River’s Valerie Doyon battled back through elimination rounds to earn a pair of silver medals in the Karate Canada National Championships last weekend at the Richmond Oval in Richmond. Doyon, competing in her fourth national competition, was one of two Campbell River competitors on the 75-member Team BC. Teammate Casey Brake, making her nationals debut, won her first fight but was unable to reach the podium. Doyon challenged up to the 18-20-yearolds divison Friday and lost her first fight, but with the tournament’s double round elimination format had another chance. She fought an additional five fights and ended up facing defending champion Hana Fu rom ot o - D e s h ai e s of Quebec, losing the match to end up with a hard-fought silver.

After bowing out of Saturday’s Kata event following an opening loss, Doyon returned Sunday for the 16/17 kumite event. Much like in Friday’s opening event, Doyon lost her first fight in this division and again had to rely on the double-round elimination format which gave her a second fight. She kept winning and managed five more fights and won them all to earn a bout with Team BC teammate Alexandra Zaborniak — a rematch of last year’s final. Zaborniak was well-rested against Doyon, who was coming off those five back-to-back fights. “Valerie fought an incredible technical and strategic fight and managed to go ahead several times,” said Sensei Roy Tippenhauer, her longtime coach with Campbell River Shito Ryu Karate Club.” With the fight less than 10 seconds left and overtime

She also qualified for the junior PanAm meet but will turn 18 before the competition and will not be eligible.

Duncan with the goal of returning to Team BC next year. “I’m real proud of the girls and their efforts in their competitions,” he said. “Casey is starting to realize how much work is involved to compete at this level and did very well. Valerie has been training about 22 hours a week since last spring to get ready and executed her plan. She did want to get gold but is very happy with her results.” Sempai Chad Edberg assisted Tippenhauer with preparing the athletes for the championships. The Shito Ryu Karate Club is currently accepting new members for the spring session.

Tyees enter make-or-break playoff weekend

The round-robin portion of the Tier 2 and Tier 3 North Division playoffs wraps up this weekend with several Campbell River Tyees teams in the running to advance to the Vancouver Island semifinals. The playoffs will determine the Island’s representative to provincial championships at the midget, bantam and peewee levels across three tiers. The top two finishers in the North round-robin will advance to the semifinals, with the No. 1 team hosting the South’s No. 2 and the North’s runner-up traveling to face the South’s top seed in the semis. The winners of the semifinals will meet in a best-ofthree series to determine the Vancouver Island champions. J.R.

home win Saturday at 1 p.m. against Comox. Wins in that game and in Sunday’s roundrobin finale at Nanaimo would earn the Tyees top seed and a home date in the semifinals. The Peewee A Tyees are also in strong position, carrying a 3-0 round-robin record into Sunday’s Tier 2 home finale against Nanaimo at 1:15 p.m. A win or a tie would clinch the team the top seed from the North, and the peewees could still advance with a loss depending on results of the weekend’s other games. The Peewee B Tyees face a tougher road to the Tier 3 semifinals with an 0-1-1 round-robin record, but could put themselves in position to advance with wins in road games Saturday at Cowichan Valley and Sunday at Alberni Valley. In the Bantam division, the Tyees A squad is 1-1 in the

Tier 2 round-robin and also faces two road games — at Oceanside Saturday and at Comox at 1 p.m. Sunday. Powell River commands the division with a 3-0 mark, but the Tyees are in the hunt with the remaining teams for the second berth. The Bantam B Tyees dropped a pair of heartbreaking, one-goal losses in their first two games, both at home, and will need to win on the road Saturday in Nanaimo and Sunday in Cowichan Valley to have a chance. Meanwhile, the Tyees’ atom development teams will share host duties this weekend in a combined A and B tournament at Strathcona Gardens. Play begins for the Tyees Friday night and continues through the finals Monday morning as the club takes advantage of the Family Day long weekend.

Then it was off to Duncan to play the Cowichan Valley Atom B team, where the Tyees bounced back with a 4-2 win. The Tyees took a 3-0 lead into the third period and, after Cowichan managed to get two quick goals, the Tyees pulled off one more clinch the win. Jasper van de Vlasakker picked up the win in goal, while Liam MacKinnon, Cole McIntosh, Thomas Nelson and Koizumi each found the back of the net in the win.

He was born seven plus years ago to one Yorkie parent and the other a Havanese and when we got him from the breeder at ten weeks of age, he would Ä&#x2020;t in the palm of your hand. He was all Yorkie colours of black, dark brown and some beige with wiry hair that almost looked as if he had stripes, hence, Bumble Bee. We waited, ever patiently, for him to turn into a new Camaro a la Transformers. As with all things in Bumble Beeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life, he did surprise and amaze us. The Ä&#x2020;rst vet who saw him as a pup said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll probably top out at about six poundsâ&#x20AC;?. He grew to a total muscled weight of 13 pounds. Walking with my wife and his big sister Brandy, a mile a day â&#x20AC;&#x201C; often twice a day in good weather.

Bumble Bee

Brandy was a Border Collie/Husky cross and up until the introduction of Bumble Bee, a 1 dog household. When we brought the new pup into the home, Brandy was not in the least impressed. She was not in mother-mode but Bumble Bee over time wore her down by lying Ä&#x2020;rst at her tail then ever so gradually, closer and closer so that he was eventually able to lie by her head. Brandy periodically exercised her rights as an alpha female such as laying on Bumble Beeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bed in front of the Ä&#x2020;re and he respectfully and wisely made no attempt to lay on her bed. Brandy became, at thirteen years, a victim of age and ill health, an enlarged heart and when we sadly made the trip to the vet to have her put to sleep, Bumble Bee laid by her side as the vet administered the drugs that caused her to quietly and peacefully close her eyes for the last time. At only seven plus years, we did not expect or anticipate to be doing this vigil with Bumble Bee but cancer was going to be his downfall. The only silver lining in this was that he was not in pain and bounded around and went on his walks seemingly oblivious to his illness, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mr. B.â&#x20AC;? as we often called him, was scary smart, understood a huge lot of words and was a courageous and feisty as a much larger dog and we had to keep an eye on him because he would not back down in the face of aggression. He was bar none, the most bright and the most affectionate little guy you could have asked for. We both miss him terribly and will likely continue to do so for some time. So often during the day we will catch ourselves thinking, â&#x20AC;&#x153;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dinnertime for Mr. Bâ&#x20AC;?, or â&#x20AC;&#x153;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for his walkâ&#x20AC;?. Mr. B loved his â&#x20AC;&#x153;routinesâ&#x20AC;? and you could set your watch by him. His time was cut short but he had a most profound and most positive effect on our lives. We hope and pray he is in a â&#x20AC;&#x153;pet heavenâ&#x20AC;? with lots of little girl dogs and sunshiny, grassy Ä&#x2020;elds, forever. Thank you to all those kind people who expressed their sympathy in the written and spoken word. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whoever has not experienced the love of an animal has not completely opened up that part of their soul.â&#x20AC;?
