Bill C51 protestors give voice to their opposition on Saturday at Spirit Square to the federal Conservatives’ security measures they say will infringe on civil liberties.

Bill C51 protestors pelted...with hail AlistAir tAylor

Just moments before a rally against the Conservative government’s Bill C51 security bill was to begin on Saturday, looming storm clouds burst open and a wave of hail pelted the approximately 40 protesters.

The group scrambled to get under the canopy over the Spirit Square stage then cheerfully waited out the hailstorm. It was Campbell River’s contribution to a storm of protest being held across the country against the Stephen Harper government’s security measures included in a bill that many see as too draconian.

“This bill appears to be more about political posturing ahead of a federal election than it is about protecting public safety,” said Andrea Craddock of the Campbell River and District Labour Council. The wide-ranging bill gives the police broader powers and allows them to detain terror suspects as well as give more power to the

Canadian Security and Intelligence Services. The bill is also criticized for infringing on civil liberties and the right to privacy, particularly on the Internet. “The Conservative government has not justified why it could not protect public safety using the existing criminal code,” Craddock told the gathering.

Temporary bridge in place at John Hart Dam

Construction at the John Hart Generating Station Replacement Project is about to take another leap forward, with the installation this month of a new, temporary construction hauling bridge near the current John Hart Dam. The “Bailey” bridge runs parallel to the existing Brewster Lake Road bridge, built in the 1940s, which is unable to support the weight of the construction equipment. Site work began in January with tree clear-

ing and grubbing on the north and south faces of the corridor carrying the John Hart penstocks. Bridge abutments were then installed, and the first sections of the bridge began going up late last week. By the time construction on the $1.1 billion generating station is completed in 2018, both bridges will be gone — along with the above-ground penstocks they span. They will be replaced by an earthen berm that will

Lake Road. In other work unrelated to the power station replacement project, the Millenium Trail will be closed March 23-April 3 as BC Hydro replaces a pair of footbridges near the current generating station. The Erna and Jim’s bridges will be torn out and replaced by bridges that have the same appearance, with wooden planks and handrails. But they will

be bolstered underneath by steel support beams that replace the original wooden logs. The project, to be funded by BC Hydro, is estimated at $86,000. “It’s a significant project,” said Watson. “The trail has reached the point at which we need to replace (the bridges) for public safety.” The original Millenium Trail bridges were constructred in the early 1990s.

Director called out for perceived‘unfair approach’ at regional district meeting Area D Director Brenda Leigh accused Campbell River Director Andy Adams of playing favourites at last week’s Strathcona Regional District meeting. Adams put forward a motion that the board approve the Tidemark Theatre’s request for $10,000 which ran contrary to how the regional district typically approves funding requests from community groups. “I don’t know where Director Adams thinks the money’s going to come from but if it’s not coming from grantin-aid that would be most unusual,” Leigh said. “I think this is a very unfair approach because it’s only taking one single applicant and favouring them over 30 others who also need money. It’s not giving discretion to the directors at all.” Each of the four electoral area directors annually accept applications from community groups for grants-in-aid and successful applications are approved by the board. In previous years the Tidemark has received a grant-in-aid from the electoral program but this year the Tidemark Society asked the regional district for more consistent funding. Kim Emsley-Leik, managing director of the Tidemark, asked the regional district in January to consider establishing a regional arts and culture function that could annually fund the Tidemark and other art programs. But during a recent strategic planning ses-

sion, directors recommended that such a function not be considered a work priority for 2015. To m Ya t e s , t h e regional district’s corporate services manager, said that recommendation was confirmed when the board chose “not to include funding in the current year budget for this initiative.” That left Cortes Director Noba Anderson wondering what Adams was trying to do. “This $10,000 would still only afford them one-time (funding) but wouldn’t allow them that future financial planning that Director Adams you’re hoping for,” Anderson said to Adams. “It strikes me that there are a lot of other organizations that are equally deserving. I’m wondering if you could provide some insight to the board as to why you would suggest this organization over others for financial priority?” Adams responded that he was trying to create a dialogue. “I’ll be quite candid with this,” Adams said. “I had no hope of this succeeding but it was more to get a discussion on the table. The current model of discretionary grants-in-aid does not support the art and culture societies to have a sustainable funding model.” But Leigh said she thought it only fair that the Tidemark go through the same process as every other group that comes to the Strathcona Regional District looking for money. “It’s an issue of fairness, the issue of having one aspect of our society being awarded a lump

wonder if there’s something else going on,” Anderson said. Director Ron Kerr, the only Campbell River councillor to support the initiative, also wondered what was going on. “On this issue I haven’t had any other discussions with any other directors and for the life of me, I don’t understand, when we have such a small dollar amount here, why we’re even having this discussion,” Kerr said. “We know this is an area that is underfunded, we know that we should be putting more attention on to this, we know that disaster doesn’t have boundaries and I think it’s really short-sighted not to support this. “That’s my position – I know I’m running contrary here – but I don’t understand all this conversation, to me it’s straightforward.” Director Adams, who is also Campbell River’s mayor, said the bottom line is it’s extra money put on Campbell River taxpayers that doesn’t necessarily need to be levied. “We’d all like to do more and there is only

directors weren’t on board. “It’s a very minuscule amount of money for the emergency preparedness budget and it does fill the gap left with the cut in the JEPP grants,” said Leigh who pointed out that in the event of a disaster, communities will largely be left to fend for themselves. Director Samson said he voted against the motion the first time because municipalities have the ability to use their own municipal revenues to enhance emergency services to fit their own needs, rather than relying solely on a basic regional approach. Director Cornfield agreed with Samson, saying that municipalities “can take funding from taxation to augment any of the services, including disaster relief,” and he pointed out that there are grants available to municipalities for enhanced service. But Cortes Director Noba Anderson said she couldn’t make sense of that argument. “I just struggle to see the rationale for nonsupport given the small dollar amount and I just

so much to go around,” Adams said. “If you want it, pay for it, but if you don’t want it then that’s your choice. In this case we have a regional service that’s provided and we’re asking for an addition. For those who want it, pay for it. We’re happy with what we’ve got.” Director Cornfield noted that Campbell River, being the largest of the communities, would pay for the lion’s share of the service – roughly $7,900 of the $12,000 being proposed in 2015. But Director Leigh argued that with more people living in Campbell River than in the other communities, the cost would be more widely spread out. “Just because Campbell River’s portion is twothirds of it, the actual impact to the taxpayer is the same across the region. Each taxpayer in Campbell River and each taxpayer in Area D will pay the same tiny amount,” Leigh said. “One-tenth of a penny, that’s what we’re arguing about here, which in consideration of the seriousness of how we respond during an emergency or disaster is nothing. It’s nothing.” But the Campbell River directors, with the exception of Kerr, could not be swayed and Adams, Babchuk, Cornfield and Samson voted in opposition as they did at the previous board meeting when the motion first came to light. Though the majority of directors voted in favour, because it was a budget matter, the vote was weighted and the votes of Campbell River directors (who represent the largest demographic of voters) are worth more points than those of the other directors.

mission announced that new rules will entrench “net neutrality” and prevent telecommunications conglomerates from creating “slow lanes” on the Internet. The victory concluded a year-long grassroots campaign waged by a global coalition led by Vancouver-based OpenMedia, which Carihi graduate Tabish works for. “My job is to design and execute online campaigns on digital issues,” Tabish said. “What we look at is policies that keep the Internet open and free.” OpenMedia, according to its website, is a community-based organization that safeguards the possibilities of the open Internet. It works toward informed and participatory digital policy by engaging hundreds of thousands of people in protecting our online rights. Fifty-five per cent of its financial support comes from individual donors and philanthropic sources. It has a membership of 700,000 people, 500,000 of whom are Canadians. But it’s a player on the world stage when it comes to the battle for net neutrality. The new FCC rules announced last month entrench the concept that the Internet in the United States is a common carrier and not a service like cable TV. That means large telecommunications corporations can’t keep the best technology to themselves and charge their customers for it – who would, of course, pass that cost on to you, the consumer. The slow lanes or channels would be left for public use. And why should Canadians care how the U.S. regulates the Internet? Well, because “The fact that the U.S. did deliver, in the end, on the strongest rules possible sets a real precedent for other decision makers around the world looking at how they are going to set their rules,” Tabish said. Canada had already entrenched the concept of net neutrality in its Internet rules back in 2009. “The US example and Canada’s example are both very good ones to follow,” Tabish said.

AlistAir tAylor/CAmpbell river mirror

Dave Tabish took a break from the war against net neutrality to vacation in his hometown where he graduated from Carihi (pictured behind him).

It wasn’t Tablish’s idea to place the huge jumbotron on the street in Washington to project messages from ordinary people around the world to federal communication regulators deliberating on new Internet rules, but he was the one phoning around Washington trying to find a Jumbotron to rent. It also included a huge sound system which generated complaints and an order to turn it down, which they ignored. Tabish is OpenMedia’s campaigns coordinator

for Internet access campaigns. He was “headhunted” by OpenMedia after graduating from Simon Fraser University’s Communications program where he coordinated the Media Democracy Project and organized the annual Media Democracy Days conferences. His net neutrality campaign earned him a trip to the White House to talk with President Barack Obama’s communications advisors. He and representatives of citizen groups con-

vinced the president to come out in support of strong net neutrality rules and urge FCC regulators to do likewise.

Just a small-town boy So how does a boy from Campbell River end up in the White House talking communications policy with U.S. lawmakers? It all came back to that dial-up Internet connection back when he was 12. He saw the possibilities even back then to

communicate with the world. “I didn’t do sports. I didn’t do fishing. I didn’t do all the things that a normal kid from Campbell River is supposed to do,” Tabish said. But to link up to the Internet and the World Wide Web as a 12-yearold was an eye-opening moment. “To experience that unlimited information and connection to the rest of the world even though it was on a 56 K dial-up connection,” Tabish said. He was always interested in technology and digital policy. He “tried forestry for a year” but soon decided he would go to school. At SFU he studied communications expecting, perhaps, to become a broadcaster. “I ended up becoming a radio guest, instead of a radio host,” Tabish said.

He got hooked on what kind of messages are coming out of our media and took a great interest in the connection between media and democracy. “And the Internet, particularly, because it was a level playing field,” Tabish said. It was at SFU where he organized the Media Democracy Project. And it was that work that attracted him to OpenMedia. They hired him to be their campaigns coordinator. Now his day job is to fight to keep the Internet a level playing field. The current battle is against Bell media’s attempt to reverse a recent CRTC decision that found the company to be making competing mobile video apps and services more expensive. Tabish said in his blog on OpenMedia.ca that “in January, the CRTC

ruled that companies like Bell must stop exempting their own services from users’ monthly data caps – marking up competing video services by up to 800 per cent. “Bell was given until April 29 to stop the practice and respect net neutrality, but they are now challenging the decision.” Then there’s the Harper government’s Bill C51 which critics, like Open Media, say is infringing on Canadians’ liberty in a broad sense, not just with regards to the Internet. So, there’s no end to the battle to keep the Internet free and open. “The Internet never sleeps and threats to it are constant,” Tabish said. And at the front lines of this fight for liberty, you’ll see a man born and raised in Campbell River leading the way.

Our View

Bridging the urban-rural divide important One of Campbell River’s challenges identified in its strategic plan adopted March 11 is its relationship with the Strathcona Regional District. Anybody having watched the proceedings of the Strathcona Regional District will be aware of that challenging relationship. It may be the nature of the beast but the regional district board directors line up on either side of the urban-rural divide, most of the time. One of the roles of regional districts is to bring municipal and rural areas together to work out infrastructure and service delivery for the benefit of the region as a whole. Too often, though, the board pits the interests of the rural areas against the interests of the urban areas. And usually the tone of the debate is one of resisting the heavy-handedness of We say: The city municipal interests. The Strathcona just has different Regional District board needs from the is fairly typical. You have rural areas one large urban area, the City of Campbell River, and five small or rural districts (Area D [Oyster Bay-Buttle Lake], Area C [Quadra Island, mainland inlets, Discovery Islands], Cortes Island, Gold River, and Area A [Kyuquot/Nootka/Sayward]). But the way the system works is that Campbell River has an agenda that is different from the surrounding areas. There’s nothing wrong with that, per se, the city has different needs. As a larger urban centre it has challenges that the other parts of the region don’t face. It also has resources available to it that allow it to pursue its needs and often uses the regional district to help it achieve its desired outcomes. That’s not to say that municipal directors individually and the city representatives as a block don’t work towards fulfilling the needs of the rural areas. And then there are the personalities on the board and the water under the bridge between long-serving members. It all points to the need to repair relationships fractured over the years. Hopefully, the city and the board can be successful with that.

Letters ● Conservatives lack of action on oil prices appalling and disgusting Open letter to John Duncan: Once again the consumers are being ripped off. When oil prices were $120/130/barrel we were paying $1.40/litre. The price of a barrel of oil is under $60. Why are we being forced to pay $1.20 and up for gas? I am not only appalled, but disgusted that this government sits on their hands and turns the other way. Why doesn’t this government do something? Oil companies are making record profits, so why are we being targeted yet again with high prices? I guess we are ripped off yet again and we as taxpayers will remember this when we vote later this year! Judy A. Campbell

Takes time to entrench good habits A cohort of Grade 11 students was given the virtual keys to a simulated ride last week, in an ICBC program designed to educate our youngest drivers on the dangers of distracted driving. The primary culprit in distraction, of course, is the seemingly ubiquitous cell phone, or pad, or other digital extension that now falls under the simple catch-all of “device.” It may seem today’s teens spend so much time hunched over these devices, thumbs dancing with the intricacy of Astaire and Rogers across the dance floor of the keyboard, that the driving might prove the bigger distraction. Then again, those of us capable of invoking Fred Astaire

All of these changes resulted from longterm, focussed campaigns of the kind that take a generation or more to convert an idea into a social norm. ICBC’s distracted driving program is exactly that kind of campaign. It’s reaching young adults just as they’re beginning to drive, and it’s delivered in the digital format in which they thrive. Its lesson is simple: enjoy your device outside the car. When you slip behind the wheel, the road ahead is your only dance partner.

sports teaches our children teamwork, fair play, sportsmanship, motivation, discipline, competition, cooperation, and builds character. Sports’ volunteers spend countless hours providing a positive environment for our children. These volunteers help build healthy bodies, healthy minds and good citizens. None of the above will occur without proper sports facilities. If our sports facilities are inadequate, participation of our volunteers and youth declines. We face ever increasing health concerns for our children, including obesity and diabetes as a result

of sedentary lifestyles. We need to encourage sport and exercise not discourage it. Our youth soccer games are cancelled roughly 50 per cent of the time because of field closure due to wet weather. This includes both city and school fields. It has become difficult to organize leagues, jamborees or tournaments because of field cancellations. The Artificial Grass Field changes all that! Our children will be able to practice and play games on a regular basis in Campbell River. At the present time, many of our teams and athletes travel to our neighbouring communitiy’s artificial grass fields to practice, play

league games, and attend jamborees and tournaments. Campbell River is the last community of similar size on the Island to build an artificial grass field. Smaller communities such as Ladysmith and Powell River have artificial grass fields. Port Alberni has two. When our athletes and teams travel outside of Campbell River because we don’t have proper facilities, it is expensive for them, their money is spent outside our community, and because we are unable to host, we lose valuable dollars that otherwise would come into the community. Council should be applauded for their funding decision. Instead they

majority of residents. Indeed, in November 2012 HB Lanarc carried out a survey as part of its review of Campbell River’s Strategic Park Plan. Lanarc found that the Robron artificial grass field was the community’s highest park priority and that 71 per cent highly supported a modest to high Parcel Property tax to pay for it. Surely, if similar sized and smaller sized Island communities can afford an artificial grass field, Campbell River can also afford it. Surely, if the We Wai Kai Nation feels it needs two artificial grass fields to support

it’s activities, Campbell River can afford one. If the We Wai Kai obtain approval for their plans it will complement the Robron Sports Complex and allow both Campbell River and the We Wai Kai to mutually benefit from sports tourism. This field was needed long ago. It will be used by all ages and many sports groups. I am a Director of Campbell River Youth Soccer but I am writing this letter personally.

are criticized on the basis of the half-truth that the field was voted down by referendum in 2008. To be accurate, voters were never given the option of voting for or against the field as a stand alone item. The field approval was tied to a very expensive hockey arena/event center proposal. A voter could not vote yes for the field without voting yes for the hockey rink/ event center. A no vote for the hockey arena/ event center was a no vote for the field. In the aftermath, it was clear from various polls and surveys that the artificial grass field had the support of a substantial

City OKs funds for commodious Canada Day KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The city will pitch in with washrooms for this year’s Canada Day festivities. Council received a letter from the Canada Day organizing committee at last week’s Monday council meeting asking for some help. “May we please request $2,500 for the porta-

potties on Canada Day,” wrote Carol Chapman. “Thank you always for your tremendous support.” Coun. Colleen Evans, in support of the letter, asked city staff at Monday’s meeting where city funding in the past has come from for the portapotties. But before staff could answer, Mayor Andy Adams said he was under

the impression council had already allocated washroom funding. “I believe we approved $3,500 in the financial plan which is sufficient to cover Canada Day plus other events throughout the year,” Adams said. Dave Morris, the city’s general manager of facilities and supplies, responded that Adams was in fact correct and

that $3,700 has already been budgeted in 2015 for portable washrooms for special events. Staff said that from that amount, the Canada Day committee will be provided with the $2,500 it’s asking for. Chapman noted in her letter that once again the Canada Day committee is partnering with not only the city but also Quality Foods which has

provided $20,000 this year for the day-long celebration. Billed as one of the best Canada Day celebrations on the Island, this year’s Campbell River July 1

Curlers get ice Council approved giving $300 from its council contingency fund to a group of Campbell

River curlers who will represent B.C. at the Canadian Firefighters Curling Championships. The event will be held in Valleyfield, Quebec from March 21 to 29. Curlers Dean Thulin, Ken Dawson, Rob Robinson and Mike Caton said the funds will go towards a mix of items. “As the provincial representative we are expected to provide gift bags for each provincial team member and the executive, a supper for the participants and guests and other small

expenses related to our appreciation to the hosts,” wrote Thulin. “We assure you that we will represent our city and province to the best of our abilities.”

Campbell River Airport. The area has a Local Area Service Tax, imposed by council in 2006 after it extended water and sanitary sewer service to those properties. The updated map clarifies which properties fall within the service area.

Owner rights decades-old wrong The owner of an Alder Street home is attempting to right a wrong committed 64 years ago. Yannick Duplain has requested a variance on his property zoning to reduce the limit of how far an attached carport can be built from the property line at the front and side yards of his house. Council granted that request at last week’s Monday council meeting. Coun. Larry Samson said he sympathized with Duplain. “I want to thank the proponents for bringing this forward, I guess when they buy an older house like this and whenever you uncover things like this it must be trying times,” Samson said. “So I’ll be pleased to support this motion. According to city staff, a variance was given to the original owners of the home in 1951 to reduce the minimum front and side yard setbacks for the carport. However, when it was built it did not honour the variances which created a non-conforming, illegal situation for the new owners.

HANS VOLKER PFEIFER (54) OF CAMPBELL RIVER, BC.

Early Saturday morning March 7th, 2015 our dear husband, father, friend, coach Volker passed away unexpectedly at home. His family was by his side. In 1998 he and his wife Silke immigrated to Canada from Germany. They lived in Powell River, BC for 15 years before moving to Campbell River, BC in 2013. Volker was a great inspiration. He was such a warm and vital man with a wonderful, positive humour and energy. He was also a man with many trades- cooking, first aid, diving, boating. Judo and the great outdoors were his life passions. He is survived by his wife Silke and his children Mark-André, Julia-Katharina, Annika and Tommy. A celebration of his life will be held later this spring in Campbell River, BC. In lieu of flowers, an account has been established for the Pfeifer children at CIBC , Transit 00140 Account# 8851530.

IN MEMORIAM

IN MEMORIAM

In Loving Memory of

Corrine Diane Furtado

Jeanette Beryl McNeill (nee Halverson) December 29, 1920 – March 04, 2015

It is with heavy hearts and great sadness that we announce the loss of our mother and grandmother, Alwine Poepperl. Alwine passed away peacefully at Eagleview, St. Joseph’s General Hospital on March 8th. Alwine was predeceased by her loving husband Ernst, sisters Frieda and Annie, and brother Robert. She is survived by her sister Dora, sons Hubert (Darci) and Ralph (Eileen), grandchildren Matthew and Nicole, sister-in-law Hedwig, and nieces Hannelore, Ingrid, Monika and Eva, and nephews Klaus and Hubert. Alwine was born in Aschach, Germany. She was the oldest of five children. Alwine married and lost her first husband Otto early in World War II. She later fell in love with Ernst, married in 1950, and followed him to Ocean Falls, BC in 1954. There she raised her family and made many lifelong friends. In 1968 the family moved to Campbell River where she lived for almost 43 years. Alwine had many interests; her favorites were gardening, dancing, and her love of cats. At the age of 92 Alwine moved to Cumberland to be with her eldest son. There she enjoyed reading, Kiki the indoor cat, and watching birds at the feeder, from her chair. For the last two years she was a resident at Eagleview in the Comox Valley. The family would like to sincerely thank: Dr.’s Meckin and Chan for their care of Alwine while in Campbell River, the Case Managers and Home Support Workers at Island Health for their care of Alwine in Cumberland, and most recently Dr. Wainberg and the caring staff at “The Views”. In lieu of flowers, donations made to Kitty Cat Pals or any other animal-oriented charity of choice would be greatly appreciated. Alwine was laid to rest at the Elk Falls Cemetery, Hwy 28 Campbell River on March 12th, in a private ceremony, Father Jan Grotkowski officiating.

In loving memory

Passed peacefully at Yucalta Lodge in Campbell River, BC. Born in Tompkins, Saskatchewan to Walter and Lilian, Jeanette moved to Vancouver as a young woman and became one of the first wartime female shipyard welders, an experience that was a highlight in her life. Jeanette resided in the Lower Mainland until widowed and then moved to Campbell River to be close to her family. Jeanette was predeceased by her first husband Charles Burnham Lowes (Bill) and her second husband Clarence Wilbur McNeill (Mac) and is survived by her sons Rex (Pat) Lowes and Rod Lowes of Quadra Island: grandchildren Rosa, Olivia, Amy and Charles Eugene and greatgrand-daughter Maya. Jeanette is also survived by her siblings Phyllis Halden, Gordon (Shirley) Halverson, Marlene (Stan) Skye. Jeanette was a devoted wife and mother and will be remembered for her kindness and quiet strength. The family would like to extend a special thanks to the Order of The Royal Purple, Dr. McFadden and all the staff at Yucalta Lodge who never let Jeanette forget how special she was. She will be missed by all. Private cremation arrangements.

A year has gone by since we lost you July 30, 1957-March 17, 2014 If we could visit Heaven Even for a day Maybe for a moment The pain would go away I’d put my arms around you And whisper words so true That living life without you Is the hardest thing to do No matter how we spend our days No matter what we do No morning dawns or evening falls When we don’t think of you Forever In Our Hearts Manuel Furtado

Comox-Strathcona Regional Hospital District adopts 2015 budget The Comox-Strathcona Regional Hospital District (CSRHD) has adopted a 2015 budget of $122 million. The budget will see an estimated tax rate of $84 per $100,000 of assessed property value. This rate reflects the hospital board’s strategy of having implemented a gradual tax rate over the past six years, which has resulted in less money being financed for the north island hospitals project, as well as in a shorter borrowing term for that financing. “The strategy of the

gradual tax increase since 2009 has meant that we lessened the amount we needed to borrow, and also reduced the borrowing time span from 30 years to 10 years,” CSRHD board chair, Charlie Cornfield said in a press release. “A gradual tax rate from 70 to 84 cents per $1,000 of taxable property value was set in order to proactively plan for financing the two new hospitals, and that strategy has paid off.” At the beginning of 2015, the reserve balance was $29.2 million. Once

expenditures on the north island hospitals project have been made this year, the reserves will be fully expended. In addition to providing 40 per cent of capital funding for the new hospitals, the CSRHD has also allocated $883,677 for new capital projects and equipment in the existing hospitals in the Comox Valley and Campbell River, and in other facilities supported by the regional hospital district. In addition, approximately $988,411 is being carried forward for previous years’ proj-

ects not yet completed. The CSRHD provides capital funding, cost shared with the provincial government on a 60/40 basis, with the hospital district portion being 40 percent. The facilities that the CSRHD funds are: Campbell River & District General Hospital, St. Joseph’s G eneral Hospital, Cumberland Regional Hospital Laundry Society, Gold River Health Clinic, Sayward Primary Health Centre and the health centres on Cortes, and in Kyuquot, Tahsis and Zeballos.

Campbell River has answered the call – and more park furniture will soon arrive in a number of local parks. The city announced in February that new opportunities would be available for park furniture donations, and in less than a month, donations have been received from 19 families for the purchase of 17 benches and two picnic tables. “I continue to be amazed by the generosity of Campbell Riverites who are donating

more furniture for our parks. Response to the parks furniture donation program has been overwhelming, and we can all look forward to enjoying these amenities this summer,” says Mayor Andy Adams. “We extend our deep appreciation to all the people giving back to the community in memory of a loved one.” Locations chosen for new park furniture to date are: n Discovery Pier (12

benches, one table) n Baikie Island (four benches) n Larwood Park (one bench) n Jaycee park (one table)

seven harbour view sites remaining.” Watch for posters going up at the Pier advertising the remaining sites. “With the impressive response to date, we are hopeful that the community’s interest in this program will continue, so that we can fully furnish the entire pier,” Milnthorp adds. New benches and tables will be in place by this summer.

Rising up together to Walk Away from Racism

Wei Wai Kum elder James Quatell was a 10-year-old boy when forcibly removed from his family home in Campbell River in 1958 and shipped to St. Michael’s Indian Residential School in Alert Bay. Nobody warned him. Nobody prepared him. “They just came to the house, picked you up,” said Quatell. “You don’t say goodbye; you don’t take nothing. I didn’t know where the heck they were taking me or where I was going.” The only memory he has of the day beyond

feeling lost and alone was watching water churn off the stern of the ferry to Alert Bay. So began the next four years of what Quatell refers to as his life of “management.” He was one of 150,000 aboriginal children that fell prey to the residential school system devised by the Canadian government in 1879 to eliminate the “Indian problem” through assimilation. The last school closed in 1996. At institutions across the nation, children were isolated from their com-

many suffered sexual, physical and emotional abuse. At age 14, Quatell was unceremoniously returned to Campbell River and he felt as lost and isolated as he had upon leaving it. Alienated and angry, he spent years retaliating against his family and community. “I tried to manage the best way I knew how. I was introduced to booze and thought that was the answer at a young age.” Ultimately, a return to his cultural traditions fuelled his healing journey, which he feels is near complete. “Now, I wear that past with pride,” said the 65-year-old. “I wear my regalia with pride and I can sing my song with pride.” Another critical step in Quatell’s healing, and that of many other survivors, took place when St. Michael’s was recently demolished. Hundreds of survivors,

their relatives and supporters gathered in Alert Bay mid-February for a powerful healing ceremony.The ceremony’s message extends beyond aboriginal people to the wider community, said Quatell. The residential school system has repercussions for the whole Campbell River community, not only area First Nations, he stressed. Quatell works with a variety of community organizations to increase awareness and promote reconciliation between aboriginal peoples and all Canadians. He regularly participates in Campbell River’s annual Walk Away From Racism, which is takes place this year on Saturday. “When I do that walk and we do that together – that’s when I feel a sense of unity,” he said. “We all need to stand together if we are going to do something and continue to tear [St. Michael’s] apart.”

Carihi scoring dries up in provincials championship tourney Storm forward Gage Colpron stretches out Comox Valley Glacier Kings netminder Zach Straza before sliding the puck into the net in second period action in Friday’s series-clinching 9-3 win.

Storm start off final on right foot Colin Blake’s unassisted goal at 8:49 of overtime gave the Campbell River Storm a 3-2 victory over the Victoria Cougars in game one of the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League Final played Sunday afternoon in the provincial capital. Blake took advantage of a botched defensive play in front of the Victoria net, pounced on a loose puck and rifled a quick wrist shot over the shoulder of surprised Cougar’s goaltender Grant Payne. “Welsh attacked their defenseman and the puck just came to my stick – I turned around and shot it on net,” said the 18-year-old left winger, “It’s definitely the biggest goal of my hockey career. The Storm rallied from a 2-1 third period deficit to send the game to overtime, and it was a pair of former Tyees that combined for the tying goal. Defenseman Andy Stevens found Dane Feeney all alone at the top of

the face-off circle. The veteran centreman and former Cougar did the rest, blasting a one-timer past Payne, who had no chance. The two teams traded goals during an evenly played first period. Rookie Kobe Oishi opened the scoring for Campbell River just past the two minute mark, only to have Lane Van de Wetering tie it seven minutes later on a Victoria power play. After a scoreless second, defenseman Jake Stotz gave the Cougar’s their first lead of the game, ripping a point shot past Storm goalie Riley Welyk at 9:52 of the third. Final shots on goal favoured Victoria, 28-22. “Anytime you can come down to this rink (Victoria) and emerge with a win, you have to be happy,” said Storm head coach Lee Stone, “The thing is, you can’t get too high or too low in a series like this, you have to keep an even keel. I don’t think we

played our played our ‘A’ game today, but we kept Sam McMullen off the score sheet, and that’s one of the few times this season that’s happened.” Storm captain Jordan Rauser believes it’s important for his team to take the series one game at a time. “It’s incredibly fast hockey and very physical. We know they’re a team that likes to finish all their checks and we have to do exactly the same. It’s going to be a dog fight all the way.” Game 2 in the best of 7 went last night in Campbell River (result not available at press time), Game 3 is set for Thursday in Victoria, and Game 4 is back at Rod Brind’Amour Arena on Friday night. Game 5, if necessary, will be played Sunday in Victoria.

Glacier Kings melt The Storm advanced to the final after elimi-

nating the Comox Valley Glacier Kings on Friday night. Colin Blake collected five points, including a pair of goals, and Gage Colpron added a hat trick as Campbell River blew out Comox 9-3 in front of a packed house at The Brindy. The Storm took the series 4-1 and won their first North Division title since 200506. C a mp b e l l R i v e r ’s power play, which has sputtered during much of the playoffs, erupted for six goals in the contest. Will McNamara, Dane Feeney, Connor Logan, and Nathan Browne also scored for the Storm, which led 2-1 after the first period, and 6-2 after two. “Full credit to Comox, they battled hard and really pushed us physically,” said Stone, “They taught us how to win a tough playoff series. It was nice to see our power play get hot and basically take over that last game.”

shot we had” to advance to provincials, Wilson said. “We just couldn’t score. We weren’t moving without the ball and settled for outside shots, with predictable results.” In the critical consolation semifinal against Pacific Christian, the teams were tied 33-all at halftime. But PCS opened the third quarter with three straight 3-point shots and added another score to suddenly jump in front by 11. Carihi rallied, but could get no closer than three points. “That was a tough hole to dig out of,” said Wilson. “That’s the way it goes, but it was definitely a successful season.” The team’s highlights included a four-overtime win over Ballenas in a loser-out qualifier for the Island tournament, and the championship of the inaugural Timberline RCMP Invitational tourney last month. Brodie Doherty led the Tyees with 18 points in the win over Parkland, with Rio Massee adding 10 and Josh Nelson nine. Nelson led the way in the loss to Nanaimo, with 10 of his 16 points coming in the fourth quarter. Jaret Knowles added eight points. Doherty again scored 18 points in the tournament finale against Pacific Christian, with Knowles chipping in 14 points and Dace Harle adding seven. Nelson sat out the contest in a one-game suspension.

The Carihi boys basketball team opened its appearance in the Vancouver Island AAA championships with a 48-46 comback win over Parkland Secondary, but dropped its next two games and settled for fifth place in the eight-team tourney. The Tyees entered the tourney as the No. 4 seed from the North Division. After rallying from a 33-23 halftime deficit to top host Parkland, the top seed from the South, they ran into another No. 1 seed in North rival Nanaimo District Secondary School in the semifinals and suffered a 59-37 loss. In the consolation semifinals, Carihi faced Pacific Christian, with the winner moving on to the 3rd/4th place game and a chance to play for a provincial tournament berth. But, despite another late rally, Carihi saw its tourney run end with a 53-48 loss. “Scoring was our Achilles’ heel,” Tyees coach Ray Wilson said. “Our defence played well; I thought we had probably our best defensive game of the year against Parkland Nanaimo District Secondary School downed Wellington 56-49 in the championship final. Both teams advanced to the AAA BC Senior Boys championships, along with Mark Isfeld of Courtnay, which topped Pacific Christian 52-32 in the thirdplace final. “In all the years I’ve been coaching here, I thought this was the first real

Rugby season kicks off

WEDNESDAY, RIVER MIRROR MIRROR || 27 27 WEDNESDAY, MARCH MARCH 18, 18, 2015 2015 || CAMPBELL CAMPBELL RIVER

www.CampbellRiverMirror.com www.CampbellRiverMirror.com

The North Island rugby season kicked off with both high school and club matches last weekend, and more action is on tap in the coming weekend. Campbell River Athletics’ U14 Boys were defeated at home 88-19 by the Cowichan Piggies Sunday. Riory Young had two tries and two conversions for the home team while Noah Poustie scored another try. The score made the game sound very one-sided but one Cowichan player with Team BC experience scored more than 50 of the Piggies’ points, so the majority of the game was actually a well-matched event. The two teams will next join forces to face Capilano Rugby Football Club of North Vancouver on Sunday, March 29, in Cowichan. The team is coached by Jim Ebert, Chris Boldt and Kevin Seibert. Campbell River’s new combined High School Girls Team had its first match last Wednesday and fell 40-5 to an experienced Mark Isfeld Secondary of Courtenay. Carihi’s Sam Atkinson had a strong game at fly half and scored the team’s single try, earning her the “Woman of the Match� jersey. The Carihi/Timberline girls face GP Vanier and Mark Isfeld again today at GP Vanier in Courtenay in a 7-a-side event, which is the Olympic version of rugby. The team is still looking for new recruits grades 8-12 and anyone interested can contact Erin Young at 250-202-7642. Practices are after school on Mondays at Carihi and Wednesdays (unless there’s a game) at Timberline. The team is led by Young, Jessica Leck and former Canada player Marie-Eve Brindamour-Carignan. The Carihi Secondary School boys team kicks off its 2015 North Island Senior Boys rugby campaign Thursday, March 19, with a 3:30 p.m. home match against Courtenay rivals Mark Isfeld Secondary. “Both programs are playing their first game of the season so it should be an energetic and entertaining matchup,� Carihi coach Darren Munro said. “Carihi has a good mix of veteran players as well as some new athletes who will be lacing up the boots for the first time. These student athletes could really use some support, so if you like good fast and entertaining rugby action come on down to Carihi this Thursday and cheer on the lads.� The U14 girls club team also kicks off its season this Sunday, traveling to Nanaimo to face CastawayWanderers of Victoria. Meanwhile, assistant coach Georgia Bellamy has been accepted as a coach with the charity Gainline Africa. Bellamy will be travelling to Uganda in June promoting our accessible game to children there. The “littlest� rugby players in town, the Campbell River Athletic’s Minis (ages 6-11), are headed to Nanaimo Rugby Football Club under the guidance of coaches Kevin Quin, John Penhall and Dan Tomlinson on Sunday to play in their first Spring Jamboree. U8’s play touch rugby and the U10’s will be playing a graduated tackle version of the game.

Campbell River Smile - get your grin on

Campbell River Smile, a music video featuring quality of life in Campbell River, is now live on the city’s website. The video mimics scenes and dancing

from Gangnam Style, the most-viewed music video on YouTube. “We greatly appreciate that local musician and Spirit Square events coordinator Jim

Creighton donated his time for the voice-over, and two city employees volunteered to lip-sync and dance through a day-long video shoot at several local parks and

recreation hot spots late last summer,” says Ross Milnthorp, general manager of parks, recreation and culture. “While we were shooting this, a number of residents and

visitors caught the fun spirit and volunteered to appear in the video as well, helping us showcase the many great locations and activities that Campbell River has to offer.”

Campbell River Smile is the fifth (and last) in a series of minute-long online promotional videos shot and edited thanks to a program previously offered through the Federation of Canadian Municipalities and CGI Communications. The promotional videos were produced at no charge to the city in partnership with Rivercorp, Tourism Campbell River & Region, North Island College, School Districts 72 & 93 and Volunteer Campbell River. Along with a “welcome” video, the series promotes local economic development, education and tourism. An additional, generic video provided to all municipalities participating in the program promotes community involvement. Other B.C. communities that previously participated in the program include Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Langley, Victoria, White Rock, Parksville, New Westminster and Williams Lake.
