Yikes! Get away from the edge KRISTEN DOUGLAS

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Campbell River Search and Rescue is reminding the public of the dangers surrounding Elk Falls, and issuing a warning that there is zero chance of survival if someone were to slip and go over the falls. Grant Cromer, manager of Campbell River Search and Rescue, said it was recently brought to his attention that people have been getting too close to the falls. “There have been increasing concerns registered lately by the public, including reference in a YouTube video, of the public potentially putting their lives at risk,” Cromer said. “An example was a young adult and young child on the edge of a cliff beside the falls.” Cromer said getting that close to the edge of a 25-metre cliff is not safe, sends the wrong message to others, and places people in high danger. “There is no surviving that fall as the waterfall crashes onto a housesized rock, eventually hitting the pool,” Cromer said. “All it takes is one slip and it may be over in seconds. Anyone being recovered from

the canyon puts the Campbell River Search and Rescue rescuers at a high risk to access the site. We have been in this situation in the past and there is a high level of risk, even with all the safety equipment and training that our members have. To rappel down the rock face, then swim in very turbulent water, past rocks and water hazards, to access these people and then getting them out, is a very significant challenge.” The slippery and uneven rock surfaces above Elk Falls have led to fatal accidents in the past. Dutch tourist Cornelius Bot, 42, fell to his death on July 18, 2011. Bot, who was from the Netherlands, was taking photos when he slipped, fell into the river and was swept over the falls. And on June 25, 2006, Tim Arthur, 35, from Nanaimo was getting a glass of water from the river when he also lost his footing, fell into the fast-moving water and died after going over the falls. Following Bot’s death, BC Parks put up signs identifying the risk of getting too close to the falls. The signs bear international symbols to indicate hazards for falling, for fast moving currents, and for a waterContinued on Pg. 3

With summer fast approaching and an expectation of increased visitors to the park with the new suspension bridge, Campbell River Search and Rescue is warning people to stay away from the edge of the water, as there is no surviving a ride down the falls.

The tranquility of a hot, sunny afternoon at Campbell River Fishing Village erupted into chaos after a fifth-wheel trailer burst into flames Tuesday around 2 p.m. “I heard a guy on the other side of me yelling,” said Don McLennan who lives in the trailer next door at the 260 Old Island Highway RV Park. “I had a look to see what was going on and flames were shooting out (of the trailer). “I had to get out.” No one appears to have been in the burning trailer.

fall, so that international tourists can easily understand. But that hasn’t seemed to dissuade everyone from getting too close to the edge to get a good look and that’s unfortunate, said Cromer. “C a m p b e l l R i v e r Search and Rescue encourage people to enjoy the features of the park from safe distances and obey the extensive cautionary safety signage BC Parks has in place,” Cromer said. “Please keep an eye on children and pets – yes, a dog has even slipped and gone over the falls – and do not approach moving water or cliff edges. There is zero margin for error.” S t e p h e n Wa t s o n , spokesperson for BC Hydro, said one of Hydro’s motives behind supporting the new suspension bridge over Elk Falls was to help people get closer to the falls, but

McLennan grabbed the keys to his car and moved it across the lane before the blazing trailer next door could set it alight. His trailer, meanwhile, sustained heat damage from the proximity to the fire. Witnesses said they first saw flames coming out of the back window of the trailer but in no time at all they were blazing out of the front of the window as well. “It’s ridiculous how fast it went up,” McLennan said. The owner of the park, Sam Chae, was upset as he watched firefighters gain control of the hot, smokey blaze. He felt the

fire department should have been there sooner. “First time, smoke, then we phoned right away,” Chae said. “Fifteen, 20 minutes, nobody show up.” But Fire Chief Ian Baikie said the fire department got the call at 2:26 p.m. and dispatched at 2:27. He said they were on the scene in five minutes and 45 seconds. “We were 5:45 from page to being on scene,” he said, calling it a “pretty sensible response.” Chae said he watched in frustration as they set up hoses and equipment. Meanwhile, the trailer was fully engulfed in flame. Baikie said he understands Chae’s frustration because it’s hard to judge time in stressful situations. He noted that’s a common reaction. It may have seemed like a long time to Chae as he waited for the fire truck to arrive. Meanwhile, Chae said

in a safe manner. “One of the reasons why BC Hydro was so supportive of the Rotary Club’s suspension bridge was to get people away from trying to get a close look at the falls from the rocks – you can now get an incredible view from the safety of the bridge,” Watson said. “These rocks can be wet, and the water fast-flowing.”

Bomb scare empties school J.R. RARDON CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A bomb threat at Southgate Middle School Wednesday force the evacuation of students and staff and led to a nearly four-hour search by RCMP before the allclear was given. Police blocked off the streets surrounding the school, located at Alder and Holm, and searched the building with the aid of a bomb-sniffing dog. “The investigation is ongoing,” said Tom Longridge, School District 72 superintendent, who spent the morning at Southgate along with SD72 safety coordinator Tracy Kennedy and manager of operations Steve Woods. “We don’t know who the perpetrator is, but we’re confident the school is clear and safe, and we’ll be resuming school (Thursday).” Nobody was injured in the incident. Students were led to nearby Georgia Park Elementary by teachers and staff. School District 72 officials were prepared to keep the students at Georgia Park until the Southgate

RCMP blocked off surrounding streets while searching Southgate Middle School following the report of a bomb threat Wednesday.

building was reopened or until they were bused home at the end of the day, but most were picked up by parents or guardians by lunchtime. “I was tremendously pleased with how the school and the RCMP reacted, and how the other school was accepting of the situation that was emerging,” said Longridge. Southgate principal Cathy Mason learned of the bomb threat Wednesday after students had arrived for school. She contacted both the school district office and the RCMP,

which ordered the school evacuated. “We wanted to make sure everybody was looked after and supervised by the teachers and the school,” said Longridge. “Everybody left the building until we knew it was safe and clear.” SD72 quickly put a notification of the incident on its website and shared the information through other social media platforms. Panago Pizza in nearby Willow Point offered donated pizza to made sure no displaced students went hungry.

Even though no bomb was found, Longridge said the response was appropriate. “These are unfortunate incidents,” he said. “Even if it’s a prank we have to take it seriously, because the consequences are too dire to contemplate. Obviously we’ll review how the day went and how we can improve what we do. Overall, I think teachers and staff at the school did an outstanding job making sure everyone was looked after and safe.” Four classes of students missed all the excitement, as they had already departed the school for an overnight field trip to Sayward. The superintendent said the investigation is now in the hands of the RCMP, which can expect all the cooperation it needs from the school district. “It’s a serious event; it’s a crime to do that,” said Longridge. “There will be severe consequences both in legal terms and in school terms, if it’s somebody from the school that’s engaged in this type of behaviour.”

Now more than ever, you need someone who’s been there before.

I have been a client of Septen Financial for approximately 8 years after being referred from my friends living in Trail, BC. They had been working with the professionals at Septen Financial for many years and told me how satisfied they were. My previous advisors had not helped me form any plan for the future. So, following my friend’s suggestion, I met with their advisor. We communicated by telephone for the first few years. During that time, he helped me put together a retirement plan that enabled me to realize my dream of retiring from my job in Burnaby and returning to my home in Campbell River. This really put my mind at ease and allowed me to transition into retirement with confidence. Several years later I met my now husband and I introduced him to Septen Financial. Our advisor showed us how to structure our income and investments to significantly reduce our taxes. With his help and advice, our investments have grown and we now enjoy a very comfortable retirement. We are confident in recommending Septen to our friends and we are VERY happy to learn that Septen Financial is now opening an office here in Campbell River.

Despite attempts to lower call rate, RCMP on pace to top 2008 numbers KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Campbell River RCMP is on pace to have its busiest year since 2008. RC M P Insp. Je f f Preston told city council Monday night that calls for service have increased so far in 2015, contrary to the goals of the detachment. “In 2014, thenInspector Gelinas had in our work plan that he wanted to decrease calls for service by five per cent,” Preston said. “Calls for service actually increased by six per cent and the beginning of 2015 has also seen an increase. It’s anticipated that if this rate continues we will actually be at a higher rate than in 2008.” The RCMP is on pace to receive 16,660 calls for service this year compared to 14,679 in 2014 and 16,471 in 2008 which was the busiest for Campbell River RCMP in the last seven years. But Preston said before ringing the alarm bells, not all calls for service are a bad thing. He said that the area with the greatest increase in calls for service is for breach of probation or breach of bail. Pre ston s ai d t he increase of 156 calls can be attributed to the due diligence of officers. “It’s a result of the very good work by the men and women at the detachment, by doing proactive police work, in particular they con-

duct over 2,400 curfew and intoxicant checks on individuals that were out in the community on probation or on bail,” Preston said. Calls for service are also up for causing a disturbance by being drunk in a public place. Preston said the increase of 102 calls is a problem for RCMP. “It’s a d r ai n on resources and it is a societal issue and it’s also a criminal issue in some regards,” Preston said. “The downtown core is certainly high on our agenda and we do have several initiatives we believe will address the issue. But being a societal issue, it cannot solely be addressed by the RCMP alone.” By law inf rac tions also topped the list of increased calls for service, with complaints up by 89 so far this year. “Bylaw complaints, for year-to-date, this year has been one of the highest across the board,” Preston said. Preston said the council’s decision to hire a second bylaw officer should help lower bylaw complaint calls to the RCMP.

“My s e l f a n d t h e city clerk are working together to come up with some plans on how to deal with calls coming into the RCMP that may be better addressed by

the bylaw officers themselves.” Preston said in addition to working with the city to lower the bylaw complaint statistics and crack down on drunk in a public place calls, Campbell River RCMP are also working on implementing plans to increase the number of impaired driving charges and distracted driving charges as well as increase trafficking or purpose of trafficking drug charges.

Our View

Independence very important As we age, our ability to live independently is gradually stripped from us. But a new report from the B.C. Seniors’ Advocate suggests that is happening faster than it needs to. According to Seniors Advocate Isobel Mackenzie, many seniors are being moved into residential care facilities before they need that level of care thanks to what she calls outdated and restrictive regulations. Many seniors could instead be accommodated in assisted living programs and facilities, retaining more of their independence We say: Advocate later in life. Independent, active decries outdated seniors are a big part of and restrictive the community in Chilliwack where they make regulations up a significant portion of the population and are still contributing members of the community and economy through countless hours of volunteer effort. Helping them maintain that independence should be the goal, rather than encouraging them into residential care. Mackenzie’s report calls for a “fundamental redesign” of regulations for registered assisted living, to change spousal eligibility and reduce the number of higher functioning seniors moving to residential care. It’s time the government recognized that becoming a senior doesn’t mean you are no longer a vital part of society and helped seniors in their quest to remain independent. – Black Press

● Re: OUR VIEW: Rowdy gallery gets its way, May 20 Charlene Gray · Facebook Children are citizens! Council represents them as well as adults. Why, when asked to consider endorsing a plan that would be of great benefit to children, would you not include children? For that matter, when discussing issues that face persons without a permanent home, would you not include them as well? It behooves us as a just society to not just involve all citizens, but to include them as equal partners in the conversation. As for the $10 a Day Child Care Plan, while municipalities on their own cannot solve the child care crisis, they most certainly have a strong role in supporting and advocating for a system that is good for the citizens they represent (and who elected them.) It is sad to think that that issues as important as children/child care/families is looked upon as being “dumped” on council. That’s their job! So proud that the Town of Comox readily (and one of the first) endorsed the Plan! Lynne Reside · Facebook I am so happy that the City of Vernon happily endorsed this initiative a couple of years ago and that they also signed a Children’s Charter showing that although children do not vote, they are legitimate members of our community who need to be both seen and heard! Maybe theise parents wanted them to be able to learn about and participate in the democratic process? Perhaps the parents are tired of not having their voices heard and this is why they became unruly?

B.C. government goes long with LNG bid Opposition politicians were outraged over the B.C. government’s latest effort to secure its first major liquefied natural gas deal, announced last week. Premier Christy Clark, Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman and Finance Minister Mike de Jong signed agreements with Pacific Northwest LNG for a long-term gas royalty structure that could run for 30 years. The government says the deal guarantees minimum royalty revenue for the province, while the investors increase their revenue if the spread between gas prices in North America and Asia increases during the term. Pacific Northwest is a partnership of some of the biggest investors and gas customers: Malaysian state giant Petronas, its Canadian subsidiary Progress Energy, Chinese state firm Sinopec, Indian Oil Corp. and Japan Petroleum. These corporate giants will review a project development agreement, and if they approve, Clark will convene the legislature to approve changes that would compensate them if the new LNG income tax increases.

ing no, despite a redesign that put pipelines on a suspension bridge over the most sensitive salmon habitat. Culbert suggests that given some time to examine environmental mitigation work, that answer may change. Does aboriginal title offer a veto over projects like this? According to the recent Supreme Court of Canada decision on the Tsilhqot’in case, the short answer is no. Objections could be overridden if governments determine a project is in the interest of the greater public. Talks have taken place with 19 First Nations affected by pipelines and facilities, and 14 have agreed. While they continue with Lax Kw’alaams and other Tsimshian Nations on the coast, it’s worth recalling that others are not so reluctant. The Nisga’a Nation has identified four sites as suitable for LNG terminals with a shorter pipeline route to the coast than Prince Rupert.

Five months into 2015, the city has spent 17 per cent of this year’s budget to date. The larger portion of the city’s expenses are expected to come in the second and third quarter of the year, according Alaina Maher, the city’s finance reporting supervisor. Maher, in a quarterly financial update to city council, said the reason for that is a large chunk of the city budget is going towards projects that will begin in the summer months. “ Tr a n s p o r t at i o n’s operations are seasonal, so most work and labour is planned to take place in the second and third quarter,” said Maher, who wrote that the same can be said for the parks and

SD72 trustees vote themselves a pay raise Recommendation for increase in remuneration forwarded by community committee J.R. RARDON CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Campbell River School District trustees voted themselves a pay raise the places their remuneration in the aver-

age range for trustees at other districts across Vancouver Island. The new remuneration will take effect beginning July 1. “Most of the (Island’s) school districts are higher, but they also have more students,” secretary-treasurer Kevin Patrick said in answer to a question posed during Tuesday’s school board meeting at the district board office. “The way it’s structured between average remuneration and per-student remu-

It does mean it will be in-between, right in the middle.” The raise results from a The new annual pay for the board chair will be $13,142, an increase of $468. The remuneration for the vice-chair will go to $11,763, an increase of $757; and the rate for trustees goes to $11,096, a bump of $767 each. Those figures are based on the recommendation of an independent, com-

The 6th Annual Upper Island Safety Conference May 25-26, 2015 marked the 6th annual Strathcona Regional District Upper Island Safety Conference. It was a great opportunity to Learn, Share and Network. It was targeted at anyone responsible for workplace safety to learn about the latest safety research, trends, regulations, and issues. It featured 18 educational sessions, two keynote presentations, a trade show, and a postconference workshop on Communication. Over 230 people were in attendance – mostly northern islanders but a few from Victoria, Vancouver, the interior of BC and Washington state.

each April to examine information from other school districts and from the BC School Trustees’ Association and arrive at a fair formula for compensation. “This formula hasn’t always recommended an increase,” said Patrick. “It once recommended a decrease, which the board accepted at that time.” Two years ago, the Campbell River school board declined a recommended raise, but did accept an increase of approximately $200 last year. “I think last year (sic) Campbell River Gaming Association invites representatives of groups/nonprofits who are recipients of provincial gaming grants and/or would be eligible to apply for gaming grants.

and the year before we decided not to accept the increase as recommended in respect for the unsettled agreement for teachers,” trustee Joyce McMann said. “I recognize there’s a point at which we can’t create that much difference in remuneration without creating a big gap, but I think this year we can’t consider it without recognizing the fact that our exempt staff has been going how long without any ability to improve their remuneration.” Board vice-chair Ted Foster asked Patrick to verify that the formula simply keeps local trustees’ pay at the 50th percentile of that given to trustees throughout similar districts. “So, over the next year, if we fall behind the average again, we never get above 50 per cent. Is that correct?” Foster asked.

“It’s based on trustee compensation per student,” Patrick answered, “so larger districts will have higher remuneration and smaller districts will also have smaller remuneration. It’s not just an average; it is a weighted average.” Trustee Richard Franklin put an end to the debate by simply stating, “I move that we approve.” Trustees then voted to approve the new remuneration, with McMann abstaining. Notes: North Vancouver Island MLA Claire Trevena and Speaker of the House Linda Reid will visit several schools June 8-9 as part of a parliamentary education program, superintendent Tom Longridge informed the board. They will share parliamentary lessons at Cedar, Quadra and Sayward schools before going on to Port Hardy.

Generous community helps Rory find his voice KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Campbell River mom who went to the media for help is overwhelmed by the amount of support her family has received from the community. Earlier this year, Violet Shade’s son Rory was desperately in need of a laptop computer to help him communicate. Rory has autism, Aspergers syndrome and a degenerative tremor which makes his hands shake. He’s also been blessed with a rare countertenor voice (he can sing five octaves) and is studying classical music at the University of B.C.’s Bachelor of Music Program, majoring in opera. But the Carihi grad’s tremor has made it difficult for him to do the music notation that’s needed for his course. “It’s progressively gotten worse and it’s made it so he finds it very hard to write, so we had to get a computer,” Shade said. Shade turned to the government for help in getting Rory a new laptop and the programs he needs, but the family was turned down. “In order to get disability grants you have to have a student loan but because he’s First Nations, he gets some of his costs covered by the

band, so he got turned down for a student loan,” Shade said. While Shade is from New Zealand, Rory’s dad is a member of the Campbell River Indian Band and the family lives on the reserve. Having nowhere else to turn, Shade took her story to the media in March and after the story appeared in the newspaper, donations started to pile in. One of the most notable donations came from the family of a friend, Justin Webb, who Rory comforted as he was dying of brain cancer. “Rory went up to the hospital before he passed away and vis-

ited Justin and sang to him three or four times before he passed away,” Shade said. “When his parents read the article, they had some money left that was donated in Justin’s name that they put towards the computer program.” The Campbell River Indian Band stepped up to provide money to purchase a software program called Sibelius, a professional music program that lets you record music by tapping the notes on the computer. There was also an anonymous donor from the family’s Presbyterian church who gave a large

greatly with his schoolwork. Without the computer, he was not able to write anything down because he couldn’t lift his pen off the paper. “It was very limiting for him at university,” said Shade who added that Rory has big plans. “He wants to be an opera singer. It’s what he’s wanted to do since he was six-years-old. If his health holds up he wants to get his bachelors and get his masters after that.”

Bradshaw is a chip off the old block J.R. RARDON CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

ike father, like son proved to be the rule at Campbell River Bowling Centre for the 2014-15 season. Scott “Bear” Bradshaw claimed the Monday men’s tenpin league title with a high average of 196, while his father, 67-year-old Allan “Papa Bear” Bradshaw, won the senior men’s high average title with a 181. Indicating the apple — and the pins — don’t fall far from the tree. “It was a good year,” said Scott, who began bowling at age 10 and came up through a junior league coached by his father when the family lived in Abbotsford. “Dad really helped me keep calm and relaxed. “I can get sort of emotional sometimes.” Allan shrugged off his contribution to the season, in which the two played together on the same Monday Night League team. “Sometimes when he gets upset he’ll slam his hand on the table,” said Allan. “I told him, ‘If you’re gonna do that, use your left hand; you don’t want to break your bowling hand.” All kidding aside, the twin titles may well prove to be a once-in-alifetime occurrence for the fatherson duo. Allan Bradshaw moved to Campbell River last year to begin his life in “semi-retirement. Son Scott, a chef who has lived in Campbell River for five years, is planning to relocate to Dawson Creek with his fiancé this fall and take a new job when she begins teaching there. “I guess I’m going out on top,”

J.R. RaRdon/Campbell RiveR miRRoR

Scott Bradshaw, left, and his father, Allan, won their respective league high-average championships — and several other awards — during the recently completed season at Campbell River Bowling Centre.

Scott joked about his high average award in Campbell River. The bowler had been been a fixture near the league leaders for the

past several years, but only reached the pinnacle after the centre underwent a renovation and installed new, hardwood lanes for 10-pin

bowling last autumn. “I kind of took it as a personal challenge,” said Scott, who had complained the condition of the

but was traded to the Westshore Wolves midway through the season. His rights were then acquired by Kerry Park after the playoffs ended. “We are thrilled to bring Christian back into the Storm family,” said Storm head coach and general

manager Lee Stone. “We worked hard to recruit him to join the Storm last season and he had instant success. Unfortunately, he wanted to be closer to his family at the time. He’s ready to come back to Campbell River now and work towards his goal

of a college scholarship. With some of the punch we are losing up front, having Christian’s nose for the net will be a fantastic plus for our team on the ice. His ‘team first’ personality will be great for our club off the ice and in the dressing room.”

old lanes did not fit with his style and approach to the game. “With the new lanes, I had no excuses.” This was just the second time the pair had competed together on the same team. The first came in Abbotsford, where Allan had assumed duties heading the local junior bowling program. In his late teens, Scott joined his dad in the local men’s league, where the two had a friendly rivalry within their quartet. “Over the course of the whole season, we played 96 games,” said Allan. “He beat me by 11 points. “I stopped coaching him when he got beyond my level.” Scott rolled his first perfect game at age 16, while competing in a tournament in Seattle. “I called it my coming-out moment,” he said. “After that, I started getting invited to join the teams of the other guys I was down there competing with.” He also mulled the idea of pursuing a professional bowling career, but the demands of time and money interceded, and he instead focussed on attending the Pacific Institute of Culinary Arts and eventually securing his Red Seal certificate as a chef. When he moved to Campbell River, where he is working as sous chef at Key West, his parents helped him with the transition. “We fell in love with the area,” said Allan, who moved here with his wife a year ago upon his retirement from an accounting career. He has since taken on part-time work around the bowling centre, doing general maintenance, and expects to eventually put his expertise to work on its finances, as well. “I basically clean the floors, then I’ll clean the books,” he joked.

Brandt, who is originally from Duncan, played two seasons at Okanagan Hockey Academy before joining the Storm last September. As a VIJHL rookie he finished the regular season with 42 points in 42 games, including 20 goals.

Thirteen drag cars took to the track with last run’s winner TJ Dafse not attending, opening the door for all 13 contenders to take home the round 2 win.

In the bike division, Justin

The Street division finals saw Kevin Lawrenuk in his 2001 Integra against Stewart Elliott in his 72 Dodge with Lawrenuk beating Elliott by two car lengths to take the win. The Fast slick class saw Corey Sandirson in the finals again, this time against Dez O’Driscoll in his Cutlass, with Sandirson once again falling short, giving the win to O’Driscoll. Ten Drifters took to the track on Saturday. Last rounds winner Callum Hayes was knocked out in the very first round, opening the door for the other nine contestants to take home the win.

Fishing Corner

Don Daniels

It may be a little early but the tourists are coming to Campbell River because the fishing is superb. The locals have their boats in the water because fishing has been good in most areas with catches coming in anywhere from 14 to 21 pounds. Those anglers fishing Campbell River are saying the best time is one hour before low slack and the salmon numbers are there. Matt Connelly has had good fishing near Powell River in the past month and now is gone to a private lodge in northern B.C. to guide for the summer. Matt will be back in the area to fish the fall season locally. Meanwhile, halibut fishing has been good in the Port Hardy area and those coming in from a weekend of fishing are reporting good catch numbers. While the fishermen are limiting out on salmon, the dogfish are in and can be a nuisance for many. The fe-

male dogs are a little bigger than the males and the locals catch and release any catches. In many countries, this fish is considered a delicacy and are made into fish and chips. Dogfish is smoked in Germany and sold at beer gardens. A tastier treat are prawns

and the deep water can provide good catches. Tackle shops sell prawn traps and they also sell the various baits to entice the prawns to gather in the trap. In many cases octopus and squid will get them in and so will small rockfish. Last Sunday I noticed

the first ant hatch and that can be a good thing for freshwater anglers who fish on the fly with a black ant pattern in a number 12 or 14 size. Rick Feller – the local bug man – told me the hatch started a few months back in the Cortes area and for many non-fishermen, the ants are a problem. Echo Lake has been restocked with catch able size trout and the Campbell River Fish and Game Association has done some work on the day-use area on the logging road side of the lake. A group of young anglers have had good luck fishing from the floating dock. I tried Keta Lake last week but the major problem on this lake near Sayward is fighting the wind. This lake was last stocked in 2008 and small trout have been caught recently. The first salmon caught off the Kelsey Bay wharf was caught last summer on July 5.
