Council up in arms about tagging Kristen Douglas Campbell RiveR miRRoR
City council is cracking down on tagging and making it a priority to rid the community of graffiti. Council, at its Feb. 23 meeting, voted to send a letter to Crown counsel indicating that the issue of graffiti and tagging is a high priority of council’s. Attached to the letter will be a city staff report detailing the negative effect of tagging on the community. The motion was put forward by Coun. Ron Kerr who has taken part in graffiti clean-ups, particularly around Campbellton, over the last year. “We’ve seen a high level of tagging recently in our community and this is a criminal behaviour and vandalism that has a cost to the community both financially and emotionally,” Kerr said. “Prosecution is a deterrent, so this initiative would support the police files as they come before the judge.” Kerr’s timing with his motion was impeccable as earlier on in the evening Crime Stoppers co-ordinator Pat Patterson told council that it needs to lead the way in graffiti prevention. “Someone needs to take control of removing the problems with graffiti by identifying the taggers but also by quick removal. The idea and application of removing graffiti as soon as it appears, in my view, has got to be city-led,” Patterson said during a presentation to council. “You cannot drive down any street right now
without seeing tagging and graffiti in the community.” To help rectify the problem, council approved spending $55,000 in 2015 on a graffiti clean-up program targeting roadway infrastructure such as light poles, road signs, and benches. City Clerk Peter Wipper said the program will put the city in compliance with its own public nuisance bylaw, which council updated last year with a policy that requires property owners – including the city – to remove any graffiti within five business days of when it appears. Ron Neufeld, the city’s operations manager, said part of the funding will also go towards a proactive approach of painting some city property with a graffiti-resistant coating. Kerr said it’s a program that the city needs to embrace if it wants to be successful in reducing the amount of tags around the community. “I think Campbell River needs to lead the way on this issue because an awful lot of the graffiti out there is on public property and we’re expecting land owners and property owners to bear the brunt of the clean-up and we’re not doing it ourselves,” Kerr said. “I certainly think it is a priority and I think we do need to lead the way.” Coun. Colleen Evans agreed. “This is an important issue for our community,” Evans said. “I certainly believe we need to address our graffiti issue.”

four occupants were displaced and are receiving shelter through the local Emergency Social Services agency. Fire fighters from both fire stations were required to respond to the call. The cause of the fire is currently under investigation.

Hearts for the SPCA
Stephanie Arkwright (left), branch manager of the Campbell River SPCA, and Gregory Janicki, co-owner of Dogwood Pet Mart, celebrate the success of this year’s Loonies for Love fundraiser for the SPCA. Dogwood Pet Mart alone raised $840 while $460 was raised between the SPCA branch, Campbell River Veterinary Hospital, Merecroft Veterinary Clinic and Campbell River Groomers for a grand total of $1,300 which Arkwright says makes this the most successful year. In comparison, last year raised $900. RH Printing supplied all the hearts and posters for this year’s event.

Saturday, March 14th Tickets $10 available at JJ’s. Limited number available.
According to local election expense reports, it pays off to be a big spender. The top spenders in the 2014 municipal election were all elected to Campbell River city council. Andy Adams more than doubled the amount of money spent by his challengers for the mayor’s chair with expenses of $17,329. Of that, $8,965 came from individual donors while $8,227 came from corporations such as Seymour Pacific ($1,000), Berwick ($500) and Upland Construction ($500). The runner-up, Walter Jakeway, spent far less at $5,096. All of Jakeway’s expenses were funded by individual donors only. Mayoral candidate Steve Wood, who finished third at the polls, spent $2,455, collecting $1,040 in donations from individual donors and

FRIDAY, MARCH MARCH 6, 6, 2015 2015 || CAMPBELL CAMPBELL RIVER RIVER MIRROR MIRROR || 55 FRIDAY,
www.CampbellRiverMirror.com www.CampbellRiverMirror.com
J.R. RARDON CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Thanks to a new round of funding cuts mandated by the Ministry of Education in the 2015 provincial budget, the Campbell River School District is facing the challenge of making up a shortfall of more than $1 million in the next three years. And the board of trustees wants to make sure everybody knows it. D u r i ng Tu e s d ay ’s school board meeting, board chair Susan Wilson shared with fellow trustees an open letter to the community, which outlines the challenges faced by the district in the wake of $29 million in province-wide administrative cuts next year and an additional $24 million the following year. The district’s share of those mandated cuts would cost it an estimated $300,000 next year and a further $285,000 in 2016/17. That is on top of an estimated shortfall of roughly $700,000 already anticipated for
the 2015/16 school year, resulting from declining enrolment. “Since the (provincial) budget was announced, it seems a lot of information put out by the media and through the government focusses on some of the increases that are being targeted to cover salary and benefit increases,” Wilson said. “However, there doesn’t seem to be a lot of mention about further cuts that are going to be expected of all school districts.” Treasurer Kevin Patrick cautioned the figures are only estimates at this point. “We have not received instructions from the Ministry of Education how this is to be applied yet,” Patrick told the board. “We don’t know the actual amounts until we put this stuff into the budget in (late) March. Hopefully we’ll get those instructions before the end of the month.” Trustee Daryl Hagen asked whether the district could use existing reserves to offset the budget hit next year and
“
THEY SAID IT: “... there are additional stresses on the money that will be left.”
– Joyce McMann
“ease into the transition.” Patrick noted that when the district went through a similar mandated budget cut of five per cent from its administrative budget five years ago, it was a targeted cut — and had to be reported to the Ministry. “With a general decline in revenue, usually the board has the opportunity of spreading out losses through use of reserves or appropriations,” he said. “Unfortunately, with the past practice of the five per cent administrative savings, it is targeted; it has to be a physical reduction in the budget.” Trustees took turns around the table adding to or modifying information in Wilson’s letter, which was written with
the help of district communications coordinator Jennifer Patrick. Trustee Joyce McMann said emphasis should be placed on increased costs to MSP health premiums, BC Hydro rates and ICBC premiums. “Those increases are significant in themselves, in terms of raising our expenditures at the same time as we’re defunding the grants coming in,” said McMann. “Yes, cuts are being made, but there are additional stresses on the money that will be left.” Trustee John Kerr noted that, at the same time the province is demanding a $29 million cut to public education budgets, it has approved $30 million in capital funding of private schools in the coming year. “That’s almost directly where that money’s going,” Kerr said. Hagen and Wilson both said that families of◊† students in the district must be assured that it will continue to emphasis quality programs and instruction, regardless of

Our View
Misplaced priorities? City councillors are all up in arms about the amount of tagging or grafitti being spray painted on buildings around the community. While, we acknowledge that it is a crime and does damage public and private property, forcing owners and taxpayers to pay prohibitive clean up costs, we have to wonder why this much attention isn’t paid to more pressing issues. On this page, editor Alistair Taylor writes about the disturbing number of fatal beatings that have happened in our community and across Vancouver Island. Previous city councils took a lot of criticism for a lack of action on homelessness in the community and since then there has been a multi-pronged approach on providing services, particularly on an emergency basis, to the city’s homeWe say: Tagging less. This represents an admirable response from is bad, yes, but the city and other agenthere are more cies to a call to arms on pressing issues a serious social issue. It would be nice to see the same response on other issues. The previous council heard last July from Dr. Charmaine Enns, the North Island’s medical health officer, who painted a bleak picture that showed Campbell River is above average in all the wrong categories but, in particular, the well-being of our children. She said the statistics show that a lot of our children are struggling from a young age. “Campbell River children rate lower for standards of reading and writing to their counterparts in B.C. and the rest of the Island and the Campbell River area has a high rate of kids in need of care,” said Enns, noting that in Campbell River, 23 children per 1,000 kids require protection compared to 12 per 1,000 kids in the rest of B.C. Campbell River kids are also more vulnerable to physical disability compared to their counterparts in B.C. So, forgive us if we don’t get too hot under the collar about grafitti like our city councillors but we would like to see this much energy – and money –applied to some more pressing issues.

● Due diligence on artificial turf needed I think someone needs to do “due diligence” and listen to what the experts have to say,when it comes to artificial turf. Sports group, soccer teams, medical profession, players, university researchers, all question the validity of artificial turf verses conventional turf. The major concerns are from the players – safety, many injuries; from the medical profession – concerns about the health issues, need to spray antibacterial liquids for mould control, allergic reaction; from maintenance, high cost of chemicals for mould control, vacuuming, replacement patches, initial field preparation cost (double that of regular turf). I would recommend that all of the above, must be addressed before putting our kids at risk. Michel Rabu

Sentence never ends for victim’s family
Some years seem to have more significance than others, although really, there’s little difference between one year and the next. Or the previous. But for some reason, anniversaries that fall on decades and half decades, feel like some kind of milestone. That’s why this year is a particularly difficult one for Bob and Maureen Smythe who are marking five years since the killing of Bob’s son Christopher. Christopher attended a house party on Rockland Road on Feb. 27, 2010 at a townhouse rented by Tyler Pastuck, then 26, and attended by Derek Crowther, 23, and Jacob Lawrence, 20, among others. The party progressed until the wee hours when neighbours called police after seeing a man being dragged by his ankles and then being “stomped on” by two or three other men. As former Campbell River Mirror reporter Paul Rudan wrote, based on court testimony, “RCMP arrived within minutes of the call and found (Christopher) Smythe behind the complex, still alive, but badly beaten. He died three

slaughter charges, Maureen says, because he couldn’t prove that the attackers knew that what they were doing would kill Chris. She is, not surprisingly, astounded by this legal nicety. “It’s not manslaughter, it’s murder,” Maureen said. “People see manslaughter as not so bad so, therefore, Bob should get over it. Enough time has passed; five years ago.” But, as Bob said, you never get over it. “There’s so many triggers. I think of him (Chris) every day,” Bob says. “You wonder what it would be like if he was around.” It’s not just a one time event. You have to relive the killing over and over again as the legal process rolls on. The killing happens and then there is a preliminary hearing and then it goes to trial and then the person goes to prison and then there’s appeal after appeal. “It’s like, the courts, for the last four-and-a-half years never stopped,” Maureen said. “They’re looking for a way out.

Bob and Maureen Smythe are living through a sad milestone, the fifth anniversary of the killing of Bob’s son Christopher.
Nobody has been charged in connection with that incident still. Yet, there had to have been somebody who saw something. Billy’s family has been circulating posters around town hunting for someone who saw something and is willing to come forward. There was a 911 call placed after the Billy b e at i ng d e at h but nobody has come forward. The Smythes can’t understand why people won’t speak up. If someone had done something sooner, Billy may not have died. It’s the same with Chris Smythe. If someone had spoke up, called police, something,

somebody close to you like that you can never understand,” Bob says. Five years have passed. The pain is no less this year than it was last year and it won’t be any different next year. But somehow five years feels significant. “Five years, it’s an anniversary of sorts, right? I think what’s hitting so hard is that these guys are out of prison,” Maureen says. But the Smythes, they live with this for the rest of their lives.
Some Common Nutrient Deficiencies Caused by Drugs
2x7 Dr. Pincott
Diuretics: hydrochlorathiazide is particularly bad at depleting many Dr. Ingrid Pincott ND nutrients including magnesium, Naturopathic Physician potassium CoQ10 and zinc. Magnesium is a very common deficiency in the North American diet contributing to symptoms like: headaches and migraine headaches, heart palpitations, anxiety, joint pains and an irritable bladder. It is also crucial for blood sugar metabolism and insulin sensitivity in Type- 2 Diabetics so it helps optimize the function of diabetic medication.
PROCESS
Statin drugs: are well known to deplete CoQ10 and there is mounting evidence that taking CoQ10 may help prevent some of the adverse effects of statins such as: cognitive decline, neuropathy, pancreatic and liver dysfunction and sexual dysfunction. Mitochondria are the power houses of the different cells in the body (except red blood cells) and certain drugs are toxic to the mitochondria. These include acetominophine, NSAIDS, tobacco, cocaine, alcohol, minocycline, propranolol, L-dopa and statins. Magnesium is stored within the mitochondria and is a crucial mineral to supplement when taking these drugs, in addition to B complex. Other nutrients that I use regularly to support mitochondrial function are L-Carnitine and Lipoic acid. SSRI antidepressants work better with folic acid. Up to one third of depressed individuals are folate-deficient. If the drug is restarted with poor results, folic acid makes the SSRI work better the second time around. Nutraceuticals may exert a “drug-sparing effect that allows a person to lower doses of conventional medications” under the supervision of a naturopathic doctor. Isn’t that what you want, fewer drugs not more?

they don’t feel that they’ve done wrong,” Bob says. “That’s not right. And they’re just wasting ever ybody’s time and money. We as taxpayers, we’re paying for all that.” And now there’s parole hearings and Bob attends those because he feels he should be there to keep track of what happens. But as bad as being dragged through the legal system is, it’s also difficult for the Smythes because they’re still living in the same town as the family of the killers. In fact, one family lives in the same neighbourhood, one street over. They see them walking by their house. “It’s a small community,” Maureen says. It’s a difficult situation. The Smythes don’t want to move and why should they? They’ve lived in this town for years. Bob is nearing retirement from his job. “What are we supposed to do? Are we supposed to run and hide,” Bob says. And another disturbing component of this anniversary is that it has happened again in an eerily similar incident last year. Last October, Joshua Billy was killed in a carport on Alpine Road, beaten to death at a party.

A 50-foot pleasure boat remained grounded in the mouth of Campbell River this week, days after running aground in the middle of the channel. The Pursepa, a wooden-hulled, liveaboard vessel, grounded between 2 and 3 p.m. Monday, resulting in a response from a Campbell River Coast Guard crew and Marine Assist International, as well as a regional dive and tow business. “It’s been kind of an on-and-off case,” Coast Guard spokesperson Dan Bate said early Tuesday. No injuries were reported in the incident. The boat was listing hard to starboard Tuesday afternoon, with water over the starboard deck, as spectators looked on and shot photos from the end of the spit. O n e p e r s on w a s reportedly aboard the boat when it grounded. The owner contacted Marine Assist International, which located a DCD Piledriving tug that responded to help secure or extract the vessel. When those responders experienced “some difficulties,” according to Bate, the Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre in Victoria was called and dispatched a lifeboat crew from Campbell River’s Coast Guard station to support the effort. Wooden bracing was secured to the starboard side of the Pursepa Monday to prevent it from tipping until it could be floated or towed on the tide. When that proved impossible on Tuesday’s high tide, float bags were attached to the starboard rail to limit further tipping, and a crew from Pacific Pro Dive & Marine Adventures was called to inspect the grounding Tuesday. “We’re just having a look to see if it will need a tug and crane (extraction) or what the best course will be,” said a member of the crew, who declined to give his name. “We’re going to sound some depths at high tide,” about 4 p.m. Wednesday. The Pursepa was built in 1928 for the Department of Fisheries, which used it to patrol the coast. According to a 2011 profile in The Shipping News, it was purchased in 1998 by Ian Henry and retrofitted into a live-aboard pleasure craft.

Council takes look at aging viewing platform KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
The city will consider replacing the decaying viewing platform at Dick Murphy Park despite some councillors’ hesitation to spend so much money on designs. Council mostly spoke against the project – Coun. Ron Kerr even said he was going to make a motion, which never happened, to remove the item from the budget – but Ross Milnthorp, the city’s general manager of parks, recreation and culture, confirmed the item is in the 2015 budget. It comes at a cost of $25,000 for designs on how to rebuild the platform at the north end of the Tyee Spit near Corilair. Mayor Andy Adams said during the Feb. 25 budget planning session that he thought that price was too high. “My concern is that at $25,000 that’s for design and not for repairing or construction at all and I find that somewhat unpalatable,” Adams said. “I also know this might be something of interest to service clubs or interest groups around town (to sponsor). “I find $25,000 a little hard to take.” Coun. Kerr said he thought it was pointless for the city to take on another viewing platform when the city can just barely keep up with maintenance on the existing bird blind at the opposite end of the Spit. “I think we have a current lookout to the south that we’re not able to maintain properly so I don’t see at this point any point in putting funds toward a new platform,” Kerr said. Coun. Larry Samson, who brought the rotting platform to council’s attention last summer and who had previously advocated for a replacement, said he had concerns over what he had been hearing from the float plane operators. “My understanding is

there is some concern from the aviation industry with this and that they weren’t unhappy when it went away,” Samson said. “So when we install something like this, is there consultation?” Dave Morris, the city’s general manager of facilities, said all stakeholders will be engaged but added that he hadn’t “personally heard that the aviation industry is happy that it went away or in opposition to a new one.” Coun. Charlie Cornfield, who supported the revival of the viewing
platform, said that during a previous term on council he sat as council liaison on a Dick Murphy Park master plan committee and never heard any opposition. “I never once heard of any complaints,” Cornfield said. “I trust staff would involve all stakeholders with what comes up as a design.” Cornfield urged council to support the design work. “I sat for two years on this (committee), which was a full public consultation that came up with what the public wanted to see and I think look-

ing at alternatives that suit the site and the existing condition needs to be done,” Cornfield said. “I am not concerned about the engineering and design, anytime you’re working in tide water those costs are up and I don’t find those costs unrealistic. Without the design, we’re hamstrung.” While council did defeat a motion to fund the design work from the Parks Parcel Tax, with only councillors Cornfield and Samson in favour, no other action was taken by council on the viewing platform and
Milnthorp said Wednesday that left the project on the books. In November council voted to spend up to $10,000 to remove all of the unsafe elements of the platform, which includes the timber deck platform and guardrails which rest on three log stringers. The pilings and concrete abutment on shore have been left in place to give the city the option of using them for a new and improved structure. Staff have estimated the cost to completely re-build the platform to be around $75,000 but there is also a cheaper option of building the smaller viewing platform on shore, rather than extended out over the water. The platform was inherited by the city more than six years ago during amalgamation of property at the end of Tyee Spit. It previously served as the approachway to a set of floating docks belonging to the previous land owner. Inspectors discovered severe and widespread

Neville brings his enthus iasm for the topic based on a lifelong interest in birds which began in England. He sound records in the wild with great sensitivity and field craft awareness. His major aim is that the production of his nature recording art will make people more aware of the feathered creatures and their need for a protected habitat. Neville is hoping to create interest in forming a naturalists club in Campbell River that would be affiliated with BC Nature. He says, “We would like to help start a Campbell River Naturalist Club.

A team of researchers want to know what’s going on under the sea near the Discovery Fishing Pier. Roe Markham from Ocean Networks Canada (ONC), a non-profit society established by the University of Victoria, told city council last week that it wants to install an ocean observatory near the pier. He told council at its Feb. 23 meeting that the cable observatory would allow researchers to view what’s going on under the ocean from their lab at UVic. “It feeds data from real time instruments on the sea floor to UVic,” Markham said. “It’s a robot that runs around the ocean floor.” A hydrophone attached to a kit on the sea floor would allow researchers and visitors to listen to whales and ships as they go by. Markham said Campbell River is a good candidate for such an observatory because of the new Discovery LNG terminal that has moved onto the former Catalyst mill site. “Discovery Passage has seen progressive growth of marine traffic and use over the years and the number and size of vessels may increase if the Elk Falls terminal is redeveloped,” he said. “The publicly available scientific data form ONC observatories will

contribute to the assessment of any long term, cumulative or accidentrelated impacts.” Campbell River’s observatory would be equipped with a shore station that has a weather station and a surface camera. The shore station, attached to dock pilings, would track and record local water quality, and potentially images from an underwater camera. Markham added that the ocean observatory could serve as an educational tool for the school system. “Community teachers and students will be invited to participate in an educational program associated with observatories with the goal of connecting schools in other coastal communities to exchange ocean data and knowledge,” Markham said. “ONC will work with local educators to help integrate learning modules based on local observatory data, particularly suited to interests of students and teachers in the Campbell River and Quadra Island communities.” Markham said Ocean Networks Canada is also interested in installing an Automatic Identification System at the Cape Mudge lighthouse on Quadra to track large vessels and measure surface currents, wave heights and direction through a special radar system. Both systems are expected to be in place for 20 years or more.

Follow the Art Path Sunday
A unique initiative to brighten the lives of hospital patients while showcasing the work of local artists makes its public debut this weekend when Campbell River Arts Council hosts a community reception to launch its Art-in-theHospital Initiative. The reception is scheduled for 1-3 p.m. Sunday in the hospital’s cafeteria, from which volunteers will be available to walk with small groups so the public can admire the art. Light refreshments will be served. Everyone is welcome. An ‘Art Path’ has been created, through funding by the Hospital Auxiliary,
produced in partnership with local groups including Ripple Rock Elementary, Carihi, Head Injury Society, Family Services, Kwanwatsi Preschool Program, hospital staff and volunteers. Each group has created a ‘station’ within the hospital along the Art Path. The Initiative’s aim is to have the work changing every six months. Alongside these community groups are also works from local artists Curtis Wilson and Jill Paris Rody. The project has been in the works for the last year, and was created with patients, staff and visitors in mind. A small but committed
group representing hospital staff, the Campbell River Arts Council and a number of community volunteers have been bringing together artists, the hospital administration, and key members of the hospital staff to facilitate the introduction of more visual art into the hospital. Many patients now in our hospital are coping with chronic illnesses, some requiring frequent and/or prolonged hospital admissions. These patients, and their caregivers, need courage and support as they await recovery or learn to adapt to new health challenges. The intent of
this Initiative is to offer a practical means to help with these journeys. Island Health would like to remind all that usual infectious disease precautions will be in place on March 8. Specifically this means that visitors will need to wear a facemask if they have not received the influenza vaccine and are advised not to attend at all if they are ill with an infectious disease. For more information please contact the Arts Council at 923-0213 or email arts.council@ crarts.ca. Financial donations are welcome and can be made through the website www.crarts.ca.

A good reason to dance Dancing & Tapas, the Campbell River Rotarians international wheelchairs fundraiser, returns April 11 to North Island College. This event supports Rotary and the Canadian Wheelchair Foundation worldwide. It all started when Christiana Flessner the director of the Canadian Wheelchair Foundation made a presentation to Rotary Clubs in Campbell River in 2003. But, it took another three years to achieve their goal. They started to have their first fundraiser on Easter Saturday in 2006. All those funds were designated to purchase 280 wheelchairs to be shipped to the Rotary Club of Yahanuara in Arequipa, Peru. Finally their goal became a reality in October of 2007 when they embarked on their first delivery. Inspired by the success of that first delivery, they doubled our efforts in raising the needed money for our next container. Of course, they could only sell so many wheelchairs to Rotary members and so they decided to go public with their fundraising program. They soon joined forces with the North
Rotarians Charlene Bazowski and Tony Fantillo with a young person in Bolivia who has just received a wheelchair.
Island College culinary arts program in Campbell River, and a new fundraiser was born: Dancing & Tapas. Campbell River responded so enthusiastically to the Dancing with Tapas concept that
they were able to fundraise an entire container of 280 wheelchairs in one night. T h e j o i nt e f f o r t between the two Rotary Clubs provides wheelchairs to children or adults in need. It is
opening up a new world of possibilities for recipients and their families, to be able to attend school, to work or simply participate in family and community activities. All the members of the Rotary Clubs of Campbell River are proud to have been able to make a difference in the world for the disabled and their families with the following distributions: n Peru 2007 n Venezuela 2009 n Argentina 2011 n Philippines 2012 n Colombia 2013 n South Africa 2014 n Bolivia 2015 n Vietnam 2016 ( already funded) n Indonesia 2017 They are committed to continue to fundraise for this program and for the Canadian Wheelchair Foundation. The next fundraiser will be for Indonesia on April 11. The ultimate goal is to bring one container of wheelchairs to each and every country in South America as well some countries in Asia. According to the World Health Organization over 150 million disabled people are in need for a wheelchair and Rotary has made it their job to make a difference and to change this statistic forever.

WiL to headline Tidemark roots rock twinbill
Where there’s a WiL, there’s a Lion, a Bear and a Fox. And the whole menagerie will appear at Tidemark Theatre March 27 for a dynamic show of roots- and stomp-rock. Calgary-raised Wil Mimnaugh, aka WiL, started strumming his first guitar at the age of 11 and quickly realized what he was born to do. Add in three decades of tireless commitment to becoming a better singer/ songwriter — as WiL puts it, “if you think you’re pretty good – get better” — moving beyond playing covers to bar crowds and eventually ascending to international success with a major ad campaign, and you
have a taste of WiL’s adventure chasing his “crazy little dream.” With his unbridled dedication and the support of local fans, WiL’s fifth studio album, El Paseo, was released in September 2014. The album, aptly named “The Ride” in Spanish, has seen its first single “Make Make” climb the charts and earn a nomination for Best Song on CBC Music Awards. In 2014, El Paseo earned WiL countless new fans with a busy touring schedule and rave reviews–the album was described as “his masterpiece” and “an often breathtakingly beautiful and achingly honest work of personal discovery,” by
the Calgary Herald. It took Christopher Arruda (The Lion), Cory Woodward (The Bear) and Ryan McMahon (The Fox) more than thirty years to find each other but only one month for this “musical force of nature” (Nanaimo Daily News) to realize they were meant to join their voices as one. After securing a top 20 position in 102.7 The Peak’s prestigious “Peak Performance Project”, the band released their debut EP “We’d Be Good Men” in 2013 and went on to celebrate the effort in numerous sold-out venues across B.C. and Alberta. In less than a year, The Lion The Bear The Fox have
cemented themselves as a hardworking Canadian band with an uncompromising dedication to performance. 2015 will be the year they start to deliver their energetic brand of “stomp rock” to the United States and beyond. Sponsored by the Campbell River Mirror and Coast Discovery Inn, WiL and The Lion The Bear The Fox will perform at the Tidemark Theatre on March 27. Tickets are $22 for members and $27 for non-members (plus applicable taxes and fees) and can be purchased at the box office Thursday through Saturday, between noon and 4 p.m. Tickets are also available online at tidemarktheatre.com.

The film themes range from skiing, climbing, trekking, surfing, biking, nature and environment, with stories of explorers, adventurers, thrill-seekers
and human ingenuity. SWI is hosting the ‘Best of the Fest’ in both Campbell River and in Courtenay (March 20) this year, as part of its outreach and fundraising initiatives.

the public. The March 27 tour stop in Campbell River will be hosted at Timberline Secondary School Theatre. Doors open at 6:30, films start at 7 p.m. Admission is $17 for adults, $5 for children 12-under.

Irish dancers liven St. Patrick’s Day The Tara School of Irish Dancing will step lively into St. Patrick’s Day with a series of performances March 14, 15 and 17 in Campbell River. The brief but ambitious tour kicks off with a dance performances Saturday, March 14, at the Royal Canadian Legion Irish Dinner and, afterward, at the St. Patrick’s Parish annual dinner and dance. On Sunday, March 15, the troupe moves on to the Maritime Heritage Centre for a pair of after-
noon tea performances. The Centre will host two sittings of tea, at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m., during which guests will be entertained by the dancers while enjoying tea with scones, fresh cream, jam and other tea-time treats in the oceanfront setting.

At midday they’ll be at the Campbell River Adult Care Centre, then move down the road for shows at the
Comox Valley Seniors Village and Glacier View Seniors Home. The dancers will take a well-earned rest over Spring Break while dance director Margaret Mullen travels to Montreal for the World Championships of Irish Dancing.

Getting to know: Mr. Schaub
Vice-principal Fred Schaub: not a big fan of cheese.
n the fall of 2014 Carihi welcomed the new Vice Principal, Fred Schaub. He made is way over from Bella Bella, but before that was born and raised in Switzerland. Everyone sees the familiar, friendly face around the school, but with everyone running to get to class, lots of people haven’t had time to get to know him. Q: When did you
decide you wanted to become an educator? A: Very late, I was almost 40. Q: Why Campbell River, what brought you here? A: It was time to move on from Bella Bella, I was the principle there. Campbell river is much better than being in the big city, such as Vancouver. Q: What is your favorite thing about being Vice Principal? A: Not being the actual principal, It’s
compete against each other for points that will lead to a series win. One of the series’ leading men is Jarrett May, a rider who competes at both a provincial and national level in the “Pro” class. A leader in the dirt-biker community, May was one of the founding members of VIHSS five years ago. Along with other riders, such as Campbell River’s Bob Stewart, he developed the series after witnessing the success of his first organized event. “In 2010, I organized my first official Hare Scramble event at Whiskey Creek, Qualicum. The event was a big success and I then realized we needed a full series here on Vancouver Island. Over the off-season from trail
racing, I worked day in, day out, organizing an official Hare Scramble series now known as the VIHSS.” The birth of the series was the first step of many, as the same founders of VIHSS went on to create the full association/nonprofit society of VIDRA (Vancouver Island Dirt Riders Association). “We have over 10 official board members that are dedicated to making a difference, not only for the racing community but the off-road motorcycle community as a whole. “We have already solidified two riding areas with our B.C. Government and are seeking other potential areas on Vancouver Island.” May acts as VIDRA’s 2015 Racing Director,
but in previous years served as the President. He is also the Team Owner and Manager of TEN FOUR Racing, a team he developed to nourish up and coming riders. A Campbell River resident, Fraser Stewart, 17, is a seasoned rider of the VIHSS and a member of May’s TEN FOUR racing team. Riding in the Expert class in 2015, Stewart says that the community has helped him grow as a rider. The beginning of the 2015 Vancouver Island Hare Scramble Series begins March 22 with THE KATOOM, at the Campbell River Motocross Track. Interested riders are encouraged to come mingle with other riders and join in the race as a new rider.
“I don’t think that changing the start of school to an earlier time would be convenient for the students,” says Austin Chiasson, a Carihi student. “While it would allow some to start later, others would still catch the early morning buses and would have to wait an extra 20 minutes to start school.” Carihi’s last morning bell is at 8:40 a.m., while Timberline’s is at 8:55, and even that can change
someone’s morning. “I think that starting early could negatively impact one’s life because, on average, people need around 8-10 hours of sleep, which is hard to sustain considering the fact that lots of teens are staying up trying to finish homework, and some of us live farther away from school and don’t have vehicles, licences or parents to drive us and have to walk, or take a bus,” says Tianna
McDonald, a student at Timberline Secondary. Although there is only a 15 minute difference between the bell schedules, it could make a huge impact on a student’s routine. “Starting earlier than we do means you have to wake up that much earlier, which is that much sleep, and every teenager I know has troubles getting up in the morning,” says Jordan Holling, a Timberline student.

more involvement with students, and less office work. Q: When you retire, what is one thing you want to be remembered for? A: Helping less privileged and struggling students. Q: What is one piece of advice you can give to the upcoming graduates? A: Keep your options open, step back once and a while and look at the whole situation. You have got lots of time,
there is no rush, just make good use of it. Q: Carihi is full of diversity and acceptance, how do you support this and think we could improve it even more? A: Be open to everyone’s ideas, and never judge. Q: What do you really enjoy about Carihi? A: Friendly atmosphere from everyone, I also really love the old building. Q: Do you have any hidden talents?
A: I bend the rules. Q: One thing on your bucket list? A: Sail my boat up the coast. Q: Did you teach in Switzerland? A: No, before I moved here I was a cabinet maker. Q: Aside from cheese, watches, knives and bank accounts, what do you miss most about Switzerland? A: My parents, they are the main reason I go back. Also I don’t really like cheese.
Island scramble series is a ‘hare-racing’ event Cheylyn lougheed Carihi Mirror
With the beginning of spring comes the beginning of the 2015 race season for the riders of the Vancouver Island Hare Scramble Series (VIHSS), and the excitement is high. Similar to motocross, Hare Scramble is a form of off-road racing that uses a combination of motocross tracks as well as a marked course through wooded or other natural terrain. The VIHSS takes place during the spring and fall, and consists of 6 races than are located around the island, such as Campbell River’s Motocross Track and Nanaimo’s Wastelands. Riders are separated into skill-based classes and

A few people may consider the snooze button the best invention of all time, though a lot of people aren’t able to use it. Even 15 minutes in the morning can be a blessing in some cases, and with Timberline Secondary and Carihi Secondary having differing start times, it might seem like a drastic difference to a student.

BOOMERS & Beyond Berwick offers sweet suites J.R. Rardon, Campbell River Mirror Since it opened for occupancy last October, more than 100 seniors have called Berwick by the Sea home, sweet home. With an emphasis on “sweet”. “This is the nicest place I’ve ever been in my whole life,” said Ellen Zapshala, sitting in the main lobby beneath a wall of huge cedar blocks as colourful fish swam languidly in a saltwater aquarium over her shoulder. “It’s terrific,” added Harold Zapshala, her husband of 60 years. “Everything is choice.” Following groundbreaking in spring of 2013 and a year-anda-half of construction, Berwick by the Sea quietly began accepting
residents shortly before Halloween of 2014. Its population spiked last Thursday evening as its owners, financers, contractors and Campbell River politicians and dignitaries presided over the facility’s official grand opening. With speeches and a ceremonial ribboncutting, the sixth property in the chain of Berwick Retirement Communities was officially unveiled to the public. “It’s quite a turnout,” said resident Dorothy Kozakowski, who originally moved to Campbell River 14 years ago to join family in the area. “It’s a wonderful place, and the people here are just wonderful. I don’t know how they
find these people; they’re exceedingly nice.” And so are the appointments. Berwick by the Sea boasts a ground-level restaurant and dining room, staffed by chefs who prepare all the residents’ meals. It also boasts the sixthfloor Tyee Lounge with its views of both the

It was designed by Campbell River native Tracy Higgins of Higgins Group Interior Design in Nanaimo. “I know all the history of the area, so it was easy to come up with ideas,” said Higgins. “I’ve done design for all the Berwick facilities, but I wanted to take a different approach, because it’s in Campbell River … more like a lodge, to reflect the area.” Gordon Denford, who has built homes in Western Canada for 50 years, created the first Berwick Retirement Community in Victoria in 1989. With his son, current CEO Chris Denford, joining as a partner in the familyowned business, additional Berwick communities have been opened in Nanaimo, Comox, Kamloops, along with a second Victoria location.

perfect for both views of Georgia Strait and Quadra Island and easy access to downtown services for residents. The $30 million complex is not to be confused with lowincome seniors housing. A single-bedroom suite starts at around $2,400 per month, and a variety of one- and twobedroom options are available, along with a penthouse suite that runs $5,900. But that includes
all meals, hydro, housekeeping, wireless internet in public spaces and basic needs, along with 24/7 monitoring. “Campbell River is sure fortunate,” said Doreen Wickman, a resident whose family originally settled on Quadra Island in 1898. “I always said, all my life, I wanted to be in a seniors place on the water. As soon as my family heard about this, they said, ‘We’ve got the place for you.’”

Good hearing, poor comprehension? 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

They can hear deep tones with no issue, and often put difficulty understanding speech down to unclear pronunciation. However, the time soon comes when problems with comprehension become annoying. A new hearing chip has been developed.
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.
Swiss audiologists have developed a new hearing chip that restores speech comprehension, particularly with hearing loss in the high-frequency range.

coming in are of moderate to good Steelhead fishing drifting pink rubber worms.
On local stocked lakes the water levels are low and the fish are a little sluggish but if you put in time and effort some nice trout can be caught from shore using a worm or Power Bait. In many lakes throwing out a small spoon or Panther Martin lure can get you a trout for the pan. With no bug hatch the fish are hungry and will be off the surface so fishing deeper water may be the answer. Next week I have a report from Keeta lake near Sayward and heading back to Campbell River I will try my luck at Roberts lake where some nice trout have been caught in 20 feet of water on the north end of the lake.
Ice fishing Campbell River style.
Local anglers have had very good winter fishing for salmon in Campbell River and even as we get closer to spring the Winter Springs are plentiful for those angers getting out. December and February has seen consistent catches of fish coming in and those that fish know the tides and location and can fish the morning and be home by noon with their limit. In general the size range of salmon are from 10 to 16 pounds and some big fish can be caught. Chad Prystupa was fishing the Hump last month and landed a 31-pound spring. Locally this fish is called a Tyee salmon and American anglers call it a

Springer. In Campbell River you will see logs and debris in the water and fishing boats will have to get around floating debris but getting around floating logs will be easier as the wind and tides will get the floating lumber to the shore. Fishing for springs can be good at the Kitty Coleman Hump, Bates Beach and around Denman Island. In the month of March fishing will be better at Bates Beach. Those getting out are fishing depths 185 feet using small Tomic plugs and Army Truck Hootchies with a UV Flasher. Point Wilson Darts have been productive for anglers who like to jig for salmon and some nice catches can be had.
At a recent garage sale I picked up a tackle box full of hooks leaders and various odds and ends. I found a packaged lure that was a flattened copper penny with the Lord’s Prayer on it. The Last Resort Tackle Company in Edmonton Alberta made the lure.
River levels in the area are low and if the rain stops water will clear and can be fishable for catch and release trout and Steelhead. In weeks to come anglers from Campbell River will be fishing the rivers for steelhead and reports

here’s a line-up steadily forming at Radiant Life Church as platefuls of steaming hot ham and cheese casserole are being prepared.
It’s 5:30 on a Tuesday night and it’s dinner time for those who use the city’s extreme weather shelter and the less fortunate. For the St. Vincent de Paul Society it’s a Tuesday night ritual for the many volunteers who have been spending Tuesday nights feeding the city’s most vulnerable since the winter shelter opened nearly four months ago. Other service groups and volunteers pitch in

to cook and serve meals the rest of the week, but on this particular Tuesday it’s St. Vincent de Paul’s turn and a homestyle meal of casserole, tossed salad and homemade buns has been prepared. Paul Bertrand, president of Campbell River’s St. Vincent de Paul Society, said the food is always different. “It’s never the same, we always make sure it’s a different meal each week,” Bertrand says as he pours out salad dressing. And it seems to be a hit. “We serve 35 to 50 people per Tuesday night,” Bertrand says. “In January alone we served 162 people, just in that one month, one night a week.” In fact, the whole year has been a busy one for the St. Vincent de Paul Society, which through St. Patrick’s Catholic Church delivers food hampers to people in the community who are struggling and are in need of assistance. In 2014, the society distributed $514,782 in emergency food to Campbell River residents and a further

This revolutionary electric car, based on the DeltaWing race car introduced a few years ago, is described by the manufacturer as an “exploratory prototype of an upcoming production vehicle.” Just like the DeltaWing, the BladeGlider features a very different chassis layout – narrow at the front, wide at the rear. The design gives the vehicle a huge aerodynamic advantage of a traditional layout. The roadster has a centrally located driver seat upfront and two passenger

Appeal strikes chord with trustees Survey gets J.R. RARDON CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Campbell River School District’s model K-12 music programs could be at risk in the coming years if more teaches are not trained in music, the SD72 Board of Trustees was told at its regular meeting Tuesday. Jennifer Abbott, a music instructor at Sandowne Elementary, made the remarks on behalf of a delegation of about a half-dozen members of the Campbell River Music Educators’ Association. “In recent years five music teachers have retired from this district, and more will be leaving in the near future,” said Abbott. “This raises concern and the realization that there are few qualified music teachers available in the province.” Abbott said a 2013
Quality Teaching Inquiry commissioned by the BC Teachers’ Federation and the BC Music Educators’ Association, entitled Speak Out, determined universities in B.C. do not offer courses that adequately prepare preservice teachers for music specialization. “This problem is a consequence of the College of Teachers’ decision to focus solely on generalist teacher training,” said Abbott, who grew up attending music classes in Campbell River. “This poses a potential problem to the longevity and sustainability of our comprehensive music programs in Campbell River.” Abbott did note the district has hired four instructors in recent years, and the CRMEA has found support for them through professional development
courses. But, she said, the association remains concerned about the lack of trained music teachers for current on-call needs and for future needs in the district. “Your support in speaking out for more teacher training at the post-secondary level wold be greatly appreciated,” said told the trustees. “We must continue to advocate and lead by example in the recruitment of quality music specialists.” Abbott’s presentation, ironically, came during a meeting in which the board learned it could be facing more than a million dollars in lost revenue from the Ministry of Education in the coming three years. She cautioned that without the support of public school music programs, only children of families able to afford

It’s a brain-trainer.”

School District 72’s ongoing sur vey on options for the 2015/16 school calendar wraps up today. And as of Tuesday, the district had received a brisk response to the three options forwarded to families and district staff. “To this point, over 1,700 people have completed the survey, 79 per cent of whom are parents and 21 per cent are
staff,” Superintendent Tom Longridge told the Board of Trustees during its meeting Tuesday. “So I think we have had an incredible response to the calendar process itself.” Staff and families of students in the district were all emailed the survey. The survey may still be completed until 8 p.m. today.

private lessons would be able to experience “this life-enhancing, humanizing art form.” Abbott also extended a pair of invitations to the board. The first was to attend a music classroom to watch and engage with students in their musical development. The second was to the annual Music Showcase, in which students from all schools gather to watch their peers perform and close the show with a large group number.” This year’s showcase
As March arrives and the days grow longer, Canadians seem to wake up from the cold, dark days of winter with a renewed energy that finds expression in a burst of spring cleaning. And while you’re getting your house in order, this is also a great time for financial spring cleaning – which means getting your financial house in order. You don’t need cleaning agents, mops and brooms for your financial spring cleaning – all you need is a lockable drawer or filing cabinet and a supply of file folders in which to organize and store all your financial information. Your financial filing system should include: • Bank statements • Investment account statements • Insurance policies and statements • Tax returns from prior years and supporting information
• Mortgage and loan agreements and statements • Investment purchases and sales confirmations Documents such as wills and powers of attorney are best kept in a fireproof safe. As you receive information through the mail or otherwise, file it in the cabinet. When documents become older than three years or so, place them in inactive storage (perhaps in a banker’s box, stored in a closet or your basement) to make room for new information. The Canada Revenue Agency suggests that income tax information should be kept for at least six years, however, some of your tax and financial documents should be kept for longer – for example, the evidence to support the cost of an investment property should be retained because it will be needed when reporting the capital gain or loss on the sale of the property.
Your financial spring cleaning should also include organizing your tax info – T3, T4, T5 slips, RRSP receipts, public transit passes, charitable and political receipts, child care and child fitness receipts, and so on. If you intend to deduct employment expenses, be sure to keep and organize receipts associated with your automobile including car loan and interest payments, gas and maintenance expenses (don’t forget car wash receipts) and insurance costs. And while you’re doing your financial spring cleaning, why not get in touch with your professional advisor who can help keep your financial life on track – not just this spring, but for a lifetime.

Cermaq moves on to semis Campbell River’s Cermaq City FC hosted Powell River Villa in the quarterfinals of the Pearkes Challenge Cup in the Vancouver Island Soccer League last Saturday. Coming into the game, both teams sat atop their respective Division 3 groups (Div 3A and 3B). The game was played in front of a great supporting crowd at Willow Point Park. Powell River Villa was the dominant team in the early stages, as the Cermaq squad seemed to suffer from a case of the jitters. Cermaq was unable to convert any of its early chances and would pay the price about 20 minutes in, when Villa was able to beat the Cermaq goalkeeper, taking a 1-0 lead. However, Cermaq would continue to press forward. About 35 minutes into the half, forward Shane Dumanoir received the ball just across the halfway line. He made a sweeping run across the pitch, evaded three defenders and finished with a sharp shot in the bottom corner, equalizing the score. As the half was coming to a close, Cermaq midfielder Eric Roberts made a nifty turn, leaving the Villa defender behind. Roberts sent a dangerous cross into

score of 3-1. Cermaq will travel to Saltspring for the semifinal match on March 14. This should prove to be another exciting match as Cermaq’s only loss this season was conceded at Saltspring back in September.

Campbell River high school wrestling had its best result in 15 years last weekend at the 2015 BC high school wrestling Championships. Ten wrestlers returned with six medals and seven top six finishes. Timberline’s Conlan Foy entered the tournament ranked first. He turned in a dominant performance, going undefeated on the day and captured his first provincial gold medal. In the finals, Foy defeated his opponent by a score of 16-6. As a Grade 11 student, Foy will have a chance to defend his title next year.
“I don’t know how to put this into words…. five years of visualizing myself winning a provincial championship every night,” Foy said. “My teammates put in the work to keep me on track for years and the coaches have helped me do what I need to do.” Also from Timberline, Grade 12 90kg wrestler Dawson Mckay earned a silver medal. Mckay, ranked fourth, wrestled his best tournament ever. A leader on the team, e x c e l l e nt w r e s t l e r, and exemplar y student, McKay has been recruited by both Uni-

The Carihi boys acted as dream wreckers at this tournament. Mike Herman (54kg), Alex Jinda (74kg), and Petro Kindy-Olesen (78kg) all entered the tournament unranked. They turned in excellent per-
respectively. All three earned bronze medals. Herman finished his high school career with a medal after missing last year and most of this year with a severely dislocated shoulder. Jinda exceeded all expectations, avenging two early season losses with thrilling and gritty come from behind victories. KindyOlesen earned his first provincial placing with dominant performances
over ranked opponents, falling eventually to the eventual champion in the semi-finals. Carihi Coach Jason Kerluck said, “as a team, we turned a corner this weekend. We have become the opponent that the rest of the province doesn’t want to wrestle. Coach Mckenzie and I can’t wait to see this team continue to dominate next year.” Carihi athletes Jocelyn Staniforth and Corinne Holmes, along with Southgate wrestler Joel House also attended the
tournament. All three competed hard and look forward to returning next year. In the team race, Timberline and Carihi boys finished seventh and ninth respectively out of more than 30 teams. Coach Scott Mckenzie says, “two top ten finishes from a town the size of Campbell River is almost unheard of. It was an awesome weekend.” Next up for the Campbell River wrestlers is the National Championships in Fredericton, New Brunswick.
Seawatch Medical Clinic communityfoundations.ca
Seawatch welcomes the return of Dr. Bre’el Davis following her maternity leave as of March 1, 2015. We would like to thank Drs. Bakker, Kask, and Logan for the excellent care and coverage they have provided in her absence. As of September 2015, Dr. Farias will also be joining the clinic and will opening her practice to Seawatch patients and to those of the community without a family practitioner.
We are delighted to announce that as of March 30, 2015 Dr. Logan will join our Seawatch family. Some of you will have met Dr. Logan as she is currently providing locum coverage at the clinic. Dr. Angela Logan has recently relocated to Campbell River from Ontario
with her husband and young son. She studied at both McMaster and Queen’s University in Ontario, moving to Chilliwack, BC to complete her Family Medicine Residency through UBC. They have moved to Campbell River to be closer to the mountains and ocean and to live the active lifestyle they enjoy. Dr. Logan will be joining Seawatch at the end of March 2015, helping to take over care of some of Dr. Byron’s and Dr. Hind’s patients before she goes on a maternity leave starting August 2015. She will be looking to start full practice when she returns from maternity leave in February 2016. Dr. Logan enjoys all areas of family medicine with particular interest in the areas of women’s health and pediatrics, including intrapartum obstetrical services with the Campbell River Maternity Group.
Dr. Alejandra Farias originally comes from Chile where she graduated as a Medical Doctor in 2003. Her graduate studies brought her to Vancouver where she completed a MSc and PhD in the field of cardiac rehabilitation. Canada soon became home and with the support of her husband and two children she graduated from the Family Medicine Residency at UBC in 2015. Because of the beautiful scenery along with a strong desire to have a family life on Vancouver Island, she and her family will be making Campbell River home. Although she enjoys all fields of family medicine, Dr Farias’s interests include general medicine, chronic disease care and geriatric medicine.

This past year has been a year of transition for Seawatch Medical Clinic. We would like to thank our physicians and staff for their commitment to those we serve and to our patients for their continued patience. Please join us in welcoming Drs.

Heartbreak at the Gardens for Midget Tyees The Panago Midget Tyees entered the Vancouver Island Midget finals having won the North Island, facing the Saanich Braves in a three game series. With home ice advantage, Campbell River faced the Braves at Rod Brind’Amour Arena in a thrilling wide-open display of offensive skill before a packed crowd. The series primarily featured the Tyees’ cohort of third year players, who gutted out the three game series with little rest, and in some cases significant pain from injuries. With many of the rookies and sophomores on leashes so short the coaches could wear them as Pandora charms throughout the year, it was no surprise that the Tyee bench was short for the finals; and it was no surprise when they wore down. In the final game of the series, at the Gardens on Sunday, the Campbell River crowd was excited but nervous. For the third years, minor hockey could

be ending forever, an almost unthinkable reality. The goal through the year was always to qualify for provincials, and only one game separated them from a dream finish. But it was the Braves that seemed to show up with energy, scoring the first two goals on starter Nic Kirchner and widely out-shooting the Tyees early. Through the second period and into the third the Tyees were
gifted with opportunities to even the score and even pull ahead, with a five-minute advantage and a series of consecutive power plays. There was effort, and there was heart, but there did not seem to be a way for the Tyees’ short bench to match the deep, well developed and prepared Braves. Grady McInnes got one back for the Tyees, Jake McKenzie was fantastic, but in the

end the Braves were too much, winning 4-1.
The players never let themselves down, but
were heartbroken on Sunday, bringing an end to the season. Going into game three, the two teams were deadlocked with one win a piece. The Tyees took game one at Strathcona Gardens by a score of 6-5, thanks in large part to Kirchner who stole the game for Campbell River with a remarkable performance. The Braves had many quality scoring chances that, despite Kirchner’s heroics, the Braves likely left the Gardens with confidence. The alarming trend of penalty killing problems and a weak power play continued for Campbell River, however, which proved the team’s ultimate
downfall. Game two in Saanich was another close affair, with the Tyees falling short by a score of 6-5. The Braves dominated play, forcing frequent turn-overs at the Tyee blue-line, exposing the defence time and again. Never seeming to adapt, the Tyees trailed 2-0 after the first. The Tyees fought back to tie the game 2-2, but fell apart due to undisciplined penalties and poor penalty killing. In a very short span the Braves took a 5-2 lead and the Tyees never recovered. With the series over, the team wishes its graduates all the best in the future, of health and success and Tyee spirit.
