Robron Park surplus rolled into extra lights Kristen Douglas Campbell RiveR miRRoR

Robron Park is getting brighter thanks to the artificial turf field running under budget. Council heard at its Monday meeting that the project is running a surplus of $250,000. “The majority of unknown subsurface conditions (have) now been encountered and addressed,” said

Jason Hartley, city’s capital works manager. “As a result, the total project cost is now estimated at $2.36 million, against the approved budget of $2.62 million.” That left council with a big decision to make – what to do with the extra money. City staff floated three options – return the extra funds to a savings account, pave the Merecroft Road parking lot next to Robron Park, or

install new pathway lighting around the park. Council, with the exception of Coun. Larry Samson, opted for the lighting after hearing from city staff. Hartley said option two, the parking lot, could be done at any time as a stand-alone at the same price, whereas the underground wiring and conduits for pathway lighting would be more expensive to do once construction on the turf field wraps

up. “The incremental cost increase to do this work at a later date would probably be in the range of 20 to 30 per cent given the disruption that would occur and the remediation required to replace the new sidewalks and curbings,” said Hartley who noted that it will cost the city $225,000 to do the pathway lighting now while the ground is still dug up. But Coun. Larry Samson said he’d

prefer the money be used elsewhere. “I’ve never heard of a need for this lighted pathway, I mean I haven’t heard any citizens come forward,” Samson said. “I believe the field is also under this lighting, would this not give some ambient lighting to this pathway?” Ross Milnthorp, the city’s general manager of parks, recreation and culture, said the field lighting would Continued on Pg. 3

Courtney Wilson wasn’t prepared to make a speech, but she did a fine job nonetheless in accepting the Tom Eason Remembrance Youth Bursary at the 2015 Haig-Brown Festival. Wilson will use the bursary to continue her postsecondary studies in Environmental Sciences at Douglas College in New Westminster.

Campbell River city councillor and acting mayor at this year’s Haig-Brown Festival Marlene Wright says it’s important to recognize those in our community who do their part to care for the natural environment that makes this such a great place to live. At last weekend’s HaigBrown Festival, held each year on the grounds of the HaigBrown Heritage House beside the Campbell River, the 14th annual Campbell River Stewardship Award winners were announced, continuing the tradition of recognizing those who give back in conservation, preservation and environmental stewardship. “Today we have had the presentation of the Stewardship Awards here, and I think it’s so appropriate that the celebration is held here on the Haig-Brown

property, where two of our champions – Roderick HaigBrown and Ann Elmore – Made Campbell River their home,” Wright said. “They’ve left us with such a rich legacy of justice and active community involvement.” Wright said she was happy to be the acting mayor of the event, because she feels it’s important to recognize those in our community who make a difference in environmental sustainability and conservation. “They are the ones who make our community healthier and more beautiful from an environmental perspective, and I thank them so much.” One of those winners was retired Department of Fisheries and Oceans community advisor Barry Peters, who won this years’ Environmental Excellence Award for his work within

the community. Peters has been involved in numerous volunteer environmental projects since his retirement.

Kristen Douglas CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The city is giving property tax exemptions to 75 community groups next year but a couple of city councillors were concerned Monday about who was left out of the tax breaks. While several organizations, including local churches, are given the tax exemptions each year, seven new applications were considered for 2016. All together, at its Monday night meeting, council approved 75 permissive tax exemptions totalling $755,901 of which $406,263 is provided by the city and $349,638 is provided by the other local taxing authorities such as the school district, hospital district and regional district. Each of the organizations receiving the tax breaks was vetted by the city’s Community Partnership Committee which is tasked with

determining whether or not the non-profits meet the city’s criteria for an exemption on paying property taxes. Of the seven new applicants this year, one – the Campbell River Masonic Temple Association – was turned down. C ou n . R on Ke r r wanted to know why. “Have they received an exemption in the past?” Kerr asked. “Especially considering the work they do for the public with the cancer car which is a really valuable service to the community.” Lesia Davis, chair of the Community Partnership Committee, said the Masonic Temple Association applied about five years ago and the same argument was made back then that the temple is not open to everyone and therefore doesn’t meet the city’s criteria. “We did discuss the car, we don’t know if it’s a direct service of the Masonic Hall or someone else,” Davis said. “We

felt with the information we had, the membership was restricted to the Masonic members. For instance, if you go into the John Howard Society you could have a meeting there if you weren’t a member, whereas at the Masonic Hall, you couldn’t have a meeting there if you’re not a member. “It was a struggle. We went around the table a couple of times because of it,” Davis added. “At the end of the day, we felt in fairness to the criteria, to make the recommendation we have.” But C oun. Charlie Cornfield said the Masonic Hall should still be included. “Four organizations use the hall, including Job’s Daughters (as well as the Campbell River Shrine Club, Chas Maria Order of the Eastern Star and the Freemasons), which people choose to participate in by choice as they do the John Howard Society, as they do with various organiza-

tions that are on the list for property tax exemptions,” said Cornfield, who then proceeded to make a motion to add the Masonic Temple Association to the list of organizations receiving the tax break. His motion, however, was defeated by council. Coun. Larry Samson said he trusts Davis and the rest of the Community Partnership Committee members came up with the right recommendations. “I believe this committee does an excellent job, they’ve gone over all the facts and they believe at this time it doesn’t fit the criteria and council’s policy,” Samson said. Mayor Andy Adams wanted to focus on the positive. “Seventy-five groups, totalling $755,901 of which $406,000 is coming from the city,” Adams said. “This is a significant investment in organizations that provide services to our community.”

Park: Pathway to be lit Continued from Pg. 1

help light up the park but only when the field is open. He said pathway lighting would also likely deter vandalism. Still, Samson said the majority of people will typically only be in the park at night if the field is open and said he’d prefer the money be spent on the parking lot upgrades or the Big Rock Boat Ramp improvement project. Mayor Andy Adams disagreed and said the lighting, which would line the pathway between the Merecroft and Birch street parking lots will increase security. “Even with this addi-

tion, the project will come in under budget and the pathway lighting system was always originally contemplated in the Robron Park Master Plan,” Adams said. “If we’re looking for extended field users at the turf field, and these could be younger children, getting into November when it’s getting dark early, to have a safer route to get to the Birch Street and Merecroft parking lots is a safety issue worth addressing now, rather than later.” Coun. Ron Kerr concurred. “I agree it makes sense to do it and it is under budget,” Kerr said. “I

think it allows the park to be safer and used on a longer basis.” The lights are just part of council’s larger plan to upgrade all of Robron Park. Arguably the larg-

est component of the project is the $2.27 million artificial turf field which is in the midst of construction and is expected to be complete by mid-November.

Annual Rotary Book Sale closes the cover on another year MIKE DAVIES CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Bookworms and casual readers alike flocked to the Campbell River Community Centre on the weekend to either fill their bags – and the occasional shopping cart – to the brim or just pick up a piece or two to add to their personal libraries. This year’s annual Rotary Club of Campbell River’s Book sale was the biggest ever, according to book sale coordinator Keith Price. “This is more tables than we’ve ever had. This is more books than we’ve ever had. I mean, if you look under the tables of books, there are more boxes of books,” Price said, looking around the gym in

awe. “Nobody’s even going to see those ones unless they crouch down and sort through them, and they’re probably not going to do that.” He was right. It was certainly a sight to see. There were approximately 75,000 books at this year’s event, Price said, based on weight and an average number of books in a pound. “In any case, it’s 35,000 pounds of books,” Price laughed. Now that the event has wrapped, the books will now be “culled,” and those that still have some resale value will be put into storage for another year. Books with exceptionally broken spines or torn covers, for example, will be recycled, generating money

for the club instead of costing them money to store them. They receive seven cents per pound for the books they are getting rid of. “We want to get it down to a number that could be called ‘manageable.’” Price laughed. Price says previous years’ book sales have brought in between $7,000 and $9,000 to help the club give back to the community throughout the year. Price said they had already passed the $7,000 mark by the end of the first day of this year’s sale.

Syrian crisis response calls for compassion

“I am tired of managing poverty.” The words of Lake Babine Nation Chief Wilf Adam were quoted by both Aboriginal Relations Minister John Rustad and Premier Christy Clark at their second annual meeting with aboriginal leaders around the province. In her closing remarks, Clark repeated her aim to continue economic development and resource revenue sharing that have dominated the government’s approach in recent years. “Let’s eliminate poverty in First Nations communities,” she said, adding “the only way we can fight poverty is to grow the economy.” Not surprisingly, Clark’s chosen example was the potential of liquefied natural gas development for the Haisla Nation near Kitimat. That and similar proposals require new gas pipelines. And as is customary in B.C., what people most often hear about are threats and wild claims regarding protests such as the Unist’ot’en camp near Smithers, set up to block a gas pipeline. There was a round of this in

late August, after Grand Chief Stewart Phillip of the militant Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs claimed hundreds of RCMP officers were about to descend on the camp. This echoed previous false claims made by s elf-st y le d anarchists such as Victoria’s Zoe Blunt, who has been organizing outside support for the camp for the last couple of years. Media jumped at the prospect of another Gustafson Lake-style confrontation. This prompted an unusual statement from Cpl. Janelle Shoihet of the North District RCMP. “To clarify, the B.C. RCMP has no intention of ‘taking down the camp’ set up by the Unist’ot’en,” she said, emphasizing that police are not taking sides or acting as security for pipeline exploration crews being harassed by protesters, who have token support from a couple of dissident members of a Wet’suwet’en clan.

Four elected chiefs of the Wet’suwet’en issued their own statement, to correct media coverage that represents the Unist’ot’en as speaking for their communities.

We t’s u we t’e n First Nation Chief Karen Ogen said job and benefit agreements for the Coastal GasLink pipeline were entered into after careful consideration, and she objected to protests from outsiders, some from outside the country. “Sustainability means standing on our own two feet, providing our young people with good paying jobs, and reducing the 40 to 60 per cent unemployment we now experience,” Ogen said.

Protest stunts distract from real efforts VIEWS

In ancient times the stranger had an almost sacred status for various reasons that continue to be probed by historians and anthropologists. Someone stumbling into a village or settlement, obviously from afar and not speaking the local language might be anyone — even a divine or threatening presence — but was regardless provided with food and shelter. Our ancestors also had another good reason to give the stranger aid; they knew that a moment’s notice they could be next, forced into exile and in need of the help they were once willing to give. The debate around how to help Syrian refugees, fleeing a vicious civil war and expanding Islamic State terrorism, has become something of a political football in Canada. It’s to be expected that We say: Issues various parties during like the refugee the election would make claims on the best crisis shouldn’t be various approach. left to politicians But this is a matter, to recall to our ancient forbears, is beyond politics. The publication of the photo that went around the world — that of three-year-old Syrian refugee Alan Kurdi, is ample evidence of that. Canada, not its politicians, needs to respond in a way that allows us to alleviate as much suffering as possible arising from this tragedy in Syria. Canadians are compassionate people and there is ample precedent for helping those in need. We need only recall when in the 1980s thousands of Vietnamese ‘boat people’ were taken in by this country. Compassion has to supercede politics in this matter but other questions arise of Canadians wanting to respond. While dramatic and serious events like the Syrian crisis are few and far between, there is no lack of other events seeking our charitible response. It’s important to analyze how useful and effective such charitable “trends” are, often spurred on by heart-wrenching photos, and where they go after the outrage dies down and the public moves on to the next hot issue. We can look beyond the migrant crisis in Europe to any number of countries that would benefit from the aid and compassion of Canadians. And it is right and good that we continue to do what we can. And for every trendy hashtag and its accompanying global outrage, there are local issues which, perhaps at times lacking the same hype and glamour, still need our attention. The status of refugees, and Canada’s responsibility in assisting them is deservedly in the spotlight. And local organizations that are doing their part deserve our accolades, especially as most of them were doing the hard work to support refugees for years before it became a trendy issue. But when the hype dies down, the trick is to remember our long-term commitments to both global and local issues, whether they’re glamorous or not. We are limited in what we can do, but the key is to act with compassion and empathy when we can, and leave the politics to the politicians.

for crude oil projects, but he has been working towards gasrelated development as long as anyone. Ross spoke out in support of the elected Wet’suwet’en chiefs in their efforts to resolve the dispute with Unist’ot’en members. “Opposition is the easiest job in the world,” he said. “What is difficult is finding an answer when a First Nations mother has concerns about her child’s future. Politicians are quick to shout out sound bites and get into camera shots, but where are the cameras when another First Nations member takes their own life or when they pass away from highway/alcohol related deaths?” Ross noted that recent court decisions have put B.C. aboriginal leaders in the best position they have ever had, with governments and development project proponents coming to them “with inclusion in mind” after decades of resource development that has passed them by. More aboriginal leaders are getting tired of managing poverty, and misguided protesters. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Funds should be better invested in Canada’s public health care system Re: Deal with private contractor could reduce surgery wait times – J.R. Rardon. The above noted article was in the Aug. 26, Campbell River Mirror. Reading the headline I have to ask “but at what cost?” It is extremely concerning that our provincial government is contracting up to 55,000 surgeries to a private, for profit, surgery clinic which is yet to be built. If this company is locating in Victoria they must have received assurance for long term commitments to enable them to locate there permanently. Surgical Centres Ltd. is “based” in Calgary, they have two private, for profit, surgery clinics in Calgary, two in B.C., two in Saskatchewan. Are the owners American? Dr. Brendon Carr (president and CEO of Island Health) when asked at the Island Health Board meeting here in June stated that there will be a premium in cost for the surgeries at the private clinic. We know private, for profit, health care is more expensive. He said they have the information and would provide it, but when I wrote and asked what the difference in cost for the taxpayers between surgeries in public or private, for profit, operating rooms, Mr. Peters declined to answer the question. Our provincial government is seeking to change the BC Health Act to permit patient stays of up to three nights in private, for profit, surgery clinics so their plan into the future is to embrace private, for profit, surgery clinics. In the provincial government’s own report it states the reason why our public hospital operating rooms sit idle quite often is due to lack of funding. The government and Island Health think it is okay to contract out these surgeries because

the surgeries are still being publicly funded but our taxpayer dollars will be spending more for the profit margin. I pointed out to Dr. Carr that we have a shortage of doctors in Canada and he agreed. He said it would be the same doctors doing the surgeries in the private, for profit, surgery clinics. I asked how they can usurp our doctors into the private system without straining our public system more. He just said they will be watching it. That doesn’t bode well for our public operating rooms. I fear that our provincial government is seriously undermining our position in defending the Dr. Brian Day court case on behalf of all British Columbians. At the very least it looks like a huge conflict of interest when they are seeking to contract an enormous number of surgeries to private clinics. Our provincial and federal governments seem determined to starve the public health care system in favour of private, for profit, health care. They have let the surgery wait lists increase substantially. Our federal government refused to renegotiate the Canada Health Accord and brought in a new funding formula. They are telling us they are “increasing” funding of the transfer payments to the provinces by three per cent, tied to the cost of living. Currently they are paying six per cent annually so this actually is a massive cut to the provinces for public health care in the amount of $36 billion over the next 10 years. With the federal government’s cuts to health care funding, the share of federal CHT cash payments in provincialterritorial health spending will decrease substantially from 20.4 per cent in 2010-11 to less

than 12 per cent over the next 25 years. This, according to the Parliamentary Budget Office, will bring the level of federal cash support for health care to historical lows. National Medicare was implemented across Canada by provinces and territories on the understanding that the federal government would contribute roughly 50 percent of the spending on Medicare. Canadians are vehemently opposed to private health care whether it is using our public tax dollars or not. Canadians should not have to suffer and wait a long time for surgery. Funds would be far better invested in the public health care system which is being starved

by our governments. It is very difficult for Canadians to see our medicare in serious jeopardy. The Canadian Medical Assoc., Canadian Doctors for Medicare, Canadian Health Coalition, Council of Canadians, B.C. Health Coalition, HEU, CUPE, Citizens for Quality Health Care and many others are united to protect, strengthen and expand our public health care. Please check out their websites and get more information. Please vote in the next two elections and vote for health care for the benefit of all Canadians.

Celebrate World Habitat Day at the Campbell River ReStore In an effort to make housing a matter of conscience and action, the United Nations has designated the first Monday in October of every year as World Habitat Day. On Monday, Oct. 5, Habitat for Humanity Vancouver Island North will embrace World Habitat Day at the ReStore on 1725 Willow Street, Campbell River, British Columbia. “Habitat for Humanity

Vancouver Island North is a proud supporter of World Habitat Day,” said Karen Bezaire, Communications and Marketing for Habitat for Humanity Vancouver Island North. “Our hope is that this global initiative will help raise awareness surrounding the affordable housing crisis here in the Campbell River and the reality that many families are forced to choose between decent shelter

and other basic needs.” To celebrate World Habitat Day and support the cause, Habitat for Humanity Vancouver Island North will be holding an open house at 1725 Willow Street, The Habitat for Humanity ReStore. Staff and volunteers will be available to answer questions regarding upcoming build projects and other fundraising initiatives. Join them and enjoy some coffee,

Hopping along for a good cause Greenways Land Trust is hoping Spirit Square will be hopping this weekend. The organization is hosting its third annual Frogger 15K which aims to raise funds for Greenways and raise awareness for the completion of the 25-kilometre Greenways Loop, a cycling and pedestrian path circumnavigating the city. The run is staged at Spirit Square with community booths, music and awards. The race begins at 9 a.m. this Saturday at Spirit Square, and takes participants through the Beaver Lodge Lands before winding its way back to the finish line at Spirit Square. Campbell River’s Laurel Sliskovic began training for the Frogger 15K in the spring. New to running, Sliskovic decided to tackle the event in large part due to her passion for the natural environment. “I love the trails, forests, green spaces and natural spaces in and around Campbell River,” she says. “Greenways Land Trust’s mission is to restore, sustain and protect natural areas and critical habitats, particularly ecological and recreational greenways, for the benefit of our community. The more I can support Greenways, the

more my community benefits.” Though she admits being both excited and nervous about running the Frogger this weekend, Sliskovic says having that goal helped her keep on with her training. “The challenge of running the 15 kilometre on Sept. 19 – setting a specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and timely (SMART) goal has kept me focused, for the most part, and I’m going to do it,” she says. The Frogger also provides an opportunity for Sliskovic to participate in the health and pros-

perity of the community. The event is increasing awareness and sharing the messages of Greenways Land Trust – an organization made up of volunteers working to preserve and enhance the natural environment. The Frogger begins at 9 a.m. Saturday, with dayof registration taking place between 8 and 8:30 a.m. The tadpole trot for kids run, put on by the River Runners, starts at 11 a.m. and is free of charge. The Frogger can be run as an individual (15 km) or as a relay team (three runners each tackling five km).

AMPBELLTON Neighbourhood AssociAtioN

We’ve got what you need!

CAMPBELLTON

The borders of Campbellton are ﬂexible By John Twigg. Secretary Campbellton Neighbourhood Association

with the family clearly identifying as having been part of "Campbellton".

So just what are the borders of Campbellton, which is arguably the oldest neighbourhood in all of Campbell River?

The CNA not only managed the barbecue for that event, it also received an environmental stewardship award there from the City for its development of the new community garden near Petersen Road and 15th Avenue.

As far as we know there are no official boundaries of Campbellton but we do know there was an official street layout registered more than 100 years ago, a copy of which can be seen in the showroom of North Island Communications, and we do know that to this day there is still a loose and varying consensus of where that name Campbellton actually applies. Should it include the Discovery Plaza shopping centre? Probably not because it sits on land owned by the Campbell River Indian Band but in practice that shopping mall IS part of Campbellton's "trading area". Should it thus also include Ironwood Road, which also is in Campbellton's reach of commerce? Maybe, but lately CNA officials have decided its unofficial southern boundary should be Nunns Creek, which makes sense topographically and it means the many businesses on and around Homewood Road are inside Campbellton too. Petersen Road certainly is in Campbellton, being a major cross street for about 100 years, but how far up the hill should "Campbellton" go? The CNA was successful in lobbying the City for traffic light and pedestrian improvements at 14th Avenue and Petersen (a busy intersection of mixed traffic) and now the City is doing much-needed improvements for pedestrians and cyclists up the narrow twisty Petersen hill - so that arguably could be part of unofficial Campbellton too. And maybe that should include Treelane Road, which overlooks Campbellton and also connects directly to "downtown" Campbellton via Spruce Street, also like Petersen a major cross street through the old neighbourhood. Similarly, should Campbellton also cover at least

part of what is semi-officially known as North Campbell River, i.e. everything east and north of the great namesake river? That would make sense because several businesses there are obviously in Campbellton's trading area, such as the iconic Ideal Cafe, several car dealerships and numerous businesses related to forestry, fishing, marine and air industries, among others such as residential and tourism properties. As well, 40 artistic banners developed by the CNA were erected recently on the roads and bridges across the river, with financial assistance from the City and the Pacific Salmon Foundation, which somewhat further attests that the CNA does cross the river too. (CNA members also are participating in various efforts to improve nature, park and recreation areas there, such as broom-bashing in Baikie Island Nature Reserve.) Recently the CNA staked another small claim to its northward reach when it handled the bar service for the successful first-ever Snowden Trail Challenge in which some 120 runners and mountain-bikers did timed races over 25 and 50-kilometre trails in the Snowden Demonstration Forest from a base in a vacant field of PRT Growing Services Ltd.,

operator of numerous very large greenhouses, all of which are just outside the City limits. And how about reaching all the way to Quinsam Crossing, the residential/commercial/services development westward up on the highway that is owned by the We Wai Kai (Cape Mudge) First Nation? That band also owns the reopening Quinsam Hotel, the soon-to-be 100-years-old landmark of downtown Campbellton that coincidentally abuts a very large parcel of vacant land owned by the Wei Wai Kum (Campbell River) Band. But all that said, there is no debate about where Campbellton's northwest border is and that is up the river all the way to the dam and B.C. Hydro power plant and on out to the City's border with Strathcona Regional District's Area D, near the present-day dump.

Presently the CNA is focussed on issues in and around the neighbourhood's downtown core, such as improving pedestrian safety and restoring public access to the riverfront, but perhaps in coming years the CNA's official reach will extend beyond its traditional borders.

The historicity of that part of Campbellton was displayed again on the past weekend with the Haig-Brown Festival at Haig-Brown House on the scenic shores of the Campbell River only a short walk from the neighbourhood's commercial core,

Get creative with Culture Days at the Campbell River Art Gallery The Campbell River Art Gallery and the Tidemark Theatre are teaming up to provide two fun first-time events to celebrate Culture Days next Saturday, Sept. 26. Culture Days is a nation-wide celebration that raises awareness, and encourages accessibility and participation by Canadians in the arts and cultural life their communities. This year, once again, thousands of artists, cultural workers, organizations and volunteers are mobilizing to host free participatory public events in hundreds of cities and towns across the country on the last weekend of September. Campbell River Art Gallery and the Tidemark Theatre invite you to celebrate Culture Days on Saturday September 26th with two special events. First up is Zine Making, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. A Zine is a self-published work of texts and images commonly reproduced via photocopier – a magazine with a twist informed by a DIY ethos. Topics frequently covered are broad, includ-

Quartetto Gelato visits Quadra forming with the Russian Radio Orchestra, with whom he toured as a soloist throughout Russia, Ukraine, Germany, Italy, and Japan. Sevastian plays accordion, piano, bandoneon and has won four international awards for his accordion playing. Colin Maier achieved a lifelong dream by joining Quartetto Gelato in 2009. In 2002, he was a featured Jazz oboist at the International Double Reed Festival where he performed and conducted a jazz master class with legendary jazz bassoonist Michael Rabinowitz. In addition to oboe, Maier also plays clarinet, English horn, violin, five-string banjo, acoustic/electric bass, piano, saxophone, flute, guitar, mandolin and musical saw, and says he has yet to master the kitchen sink. Cellist Greg Gallagher will make

up the fourth member of the quartet, replacing Liza McLellan on this tour. Gallagher made his professional debut as a soloist with the New Brunswick Symphony in 2005. Gallagher has his bachelor of music degree from the University of Western Ontario and is currently working as a teacher for the Sistema Toronto music program as well as freelancing as a professional cellist in Toronto. Quartetto Gelato’s performances are said to have a warm and endearing vitality. Don’t miss what is bound to be an excellent evening of musical entertainment! Tickets can be purchased on Quadra Island at Works of H’Art in Heriot Bay, Inspirations in Quathiaski Cove and in Campbell River at the Music Plant. Advance tickets are $17 in advance or $20 at the door.

Catch Quartetto Gelato at the Quadra Community Centre on Saturday, Sept. 26 at 7:30 p.m.

The Quadra Cultural Committee is proud to present Quartetto Gelato, a group of four Canadian musicians who play what is referred to as a combination of classical masterworks, tangos and gypsy music, and they are set to play the Quadra Community Centre on Saturday, Sept. 26 at 7:30 p.m. The quartet features Peter DeSoto, a tenor who plays the violin and was a member of the Toronto Symphony for 11 years. He also excels at the mandolin. “It hardly seems fair that he (DeSoto) is also a violin wiz who tossed off a gypsy number at dizzying speed,” accruing to the National Post. Also on stage will be Alex Sevastian, who began his professional career in Moscow in 1996, per-

Greg Brown takes Tidemark

Greg Brown is one of the foremost living folk artists of his generation and his album The Iowa Waltz is widely acknowledged as an early masterpiece and one of the most critically acclaimed titles in his rich discography. Inspired by youthful wanderings on Iowa back roads, the album is a raw, unsentimental yet affectionate journey through the American heartland filled with vivid scenes and memorable characters. And he’s playing the Tidemark Theatre Oct. 9. Brown’s youth was spread across a map of the Midwest as they moved between churches (and even denominations), but music was always a staple. Gospel and hymns, classical, hillbilly, early rock and roll, country, and blues coalesced into a simmering stew of sound. Brown studied classical voice and piano as a child and also sang with choirs and in state competitions. At six he took up the pump organ and at twelve he learned the basics of guitar from his mother (who was also an English teacher – so books and poetry were always around the house). At 18, Brown won a contest to play an opening set for singer Eric Andersen in Iowa City, who then encouraged him to head east. Moving to New York, he landed a job at Gerdes Folk City in the Village running hootenannies. Next he tried Portland, Los Angeles and Las Vegas, but after a few years he moved back to Iowa. He recorded a couple of albums on his own (44 & 66 and The Iowa Waltz), then began working on the renowned national radio show A Prairie Home Companion

Living folk legend Greg Brown will play the Tidemark Theatre Oct. 9.

and touring nationally. After he teamed up with Bob Feldman in 1983, they re-released Brown’s first two albums under the name Red House Records — the beginning of the now legendary folk/roots label that has released nearly all of Brown’s 27 albums. With a career now spanning four decades, Brown continues to write, record and perform. His seasoned songwriting, storytell-

ing, and music are deeply rooted in the land and culture of southeastern Iowa. He moves audiences with warmth, humour, a thundering voice and his unpretentious musical vision. Tickets for the Tidemark show are $32 plus applicable taxes and fees and can be purchased from the box office on Tuesday or Friday from 12 to 4 p.m. or online at tidemarktheatre.com

INFORMATION

Carol Ann Cuzzocrea December 10, 1946 - September 6, 2015

It is with gratitude for her life and sorrow at her passing, that the family of Carol Ann Cuzzocrea, announce her passing away peacefully on September 6, 2015 with family and friends by her friend by side.

Carol was born in Kelowna, BC on December 10, 1946, the second of five children to Dave and Lil Hewer. Her childhood was spent between Kelowna and Prince Rupert where she had many fond memories of picnics and holiday celebrations and Sunday dinners. After university Carol married Charlie Cuzzocrea and moved to Campbell River in 1969 where she raised their two children. Carol was an amazing mother, nanny and friend. An avid bridge player, she will be missed for her thoughtfulness, keen wit, sense of style, strength. It is from her parents that she learned that love and kindness are all that matters. Carol was the most thoughtful person who would spend hours meticulously picking out a perfect gift for a friend or preparing a home cooked meal for her guests. She spent more time thinking of others than herself. If you went to her house you were sure of a something delicious to eat, her undivided attention and lots of laughs. Twenty five years ago, Carol became a realtor and formed a legendary business partnership with her friend Toni Smith. Century 21 or REMAX, it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter. Carol and Toniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friendship eclipsed all else. How they managed to remain business partners and friends for so long was no mystery, it was based on love â&#x20AC;&#x201C; love for their job and love for each other. With her passing, the secret of who really burned down the family garage will forever remain a mystery. Carol was predeceased by her parents Dave and Lillian Hewer. She is survived by her son Craig and daughter Stacy (Greg), grandchildren Seth and Rocco, brothers Gary (Sue), David (Janet), Joey (Karla), sister Meldy (Ken) and numerous nieces and nephews. 4 no trump. A Prayer Service will be held on Friday, September 18th, 2015 at 7 pm in the Suttonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Campbell River Funeral Home Chapel. Chapel. AA Celebration Celebration of of Life Life will follow on Saturday, September 19th, 2015 at 1pm in the Campbell River Baptist Church with a reception to follow.

Lloyd, Edgar Raymond

Lloyd â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Edgar Raymond passed away Tuesday, September 8 2015, with family by his side. Born March 19, 1927 in Vancouver BC, Ed lived a full, rich life never straying from the BC coast for long. He was predeceased by his loving wife, Ruth, in 1992. Ed is survived by his three children; Judy, Willy and Sharon (Jeff ); his favourite granddaughter Darah (Dylan), as well as extended family and dear friends. Dad enjoyed several careers over his working life â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Constable with the BC Police/RCMP, Manager of various departments at the University of Victoria, Park Ranger with BC Parks at Miracle Beach (aka â&#x20AC;&#x153;Smokey the Bearâ&#x20AC;?), and finally as Jailer with the Campbell River RCMP detachment. Dad loved to share stories and jokes, was well known for his wit, and his spectacular talent for wiggling his ears! He spent many hours fishing with his buddies, making beer & wine, and expanding his â&#x20AC;&#x153;collectionsâ&#x20AC;?. Always a great defender of the RCMP, Dad treasured his connection with the Vancouver Island RCMP Veteransâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association and looked forward to his weekly coffee dates with his fellow veterans. He was, in a word, a gentleman â&#x20AC;&#x201C; kind, honourable, and generous. We will miss him greatly. No service by request.

Bears are gearing up for the winter months; Be bear smart This time of year, bears throughout the province are out and about searching and competing for available food sources while gearing up for the winter months. It’s everyone’s responsibility to ensure bears don’t have to be destroyed for public safety. What can YOU do in urban areas? n Use bear-proof waste containers or keep garbage secured in the house, garage or shed until pickup day and return the containers to the secure site once they are emptied. n Pick ripe and fallen fruit daily and remove any unused fruit trees. n Use bird feeders only in winter. Keep the ground free of seeds and

nuts. n Clean the barbecue grill after each use, and store it in a secure area. n Bring pet food dishes inside and store the pet food inside. n Do not add meat products or uncooked food to compost. Turn it regularly and keep it covered. n Use electric fencing to protect attractants such as backyard chickens, beehives, compost bins and fruit trees. n If residents spot a bear, they are advised to remain calm, keep away from the bear and bring children and pets indoors, if possible. n People should never approach a bear and should not run from it, as bears can move very quickly. n Once a bear has

left the area, residents should check their yards to ensure there are no attractants available. n Work with your neighbours and municipal government to create a Bear Smart Community. The most effective way to reduce human-

wildlife interactions is to secure food attractants, such as garbage. Communities where attractants are managed properly, such as Bear Smart”communities, have seen significant declines in bear conflict calls, and the number of bears destroyed.

Kamloops, Squamish, Whistler, Lions Bay, Port Alberni, Naramata and New Denver are designated Bear Smart. What can YOU do when hiking in bear country? n Make sure someone knows your plans. Before your trip, leave names, trip plans and date of return with friends or family. n Carry bear spray, keep it accessible and know how to use it. n Go with friends. Bears are less likely to approach people in groups. Check each other’s position often and remember that the larger the group, the less likely a bear will hang around. n Keep young children close to you. Children can be particularly at risk because they are

small and make erratic movements. n f you hike with a dog, keep it on a leash. An unleashed dog can lead an irritated bear back to you and your friends. n Make noise. Carry a noise maker, talk loudly, sing or let out occasional warning shouts. This will alert bears to your approach so you are less likely to cause a surprise encounter. Remember that other sounds, such as flowing rivers and streams and strong winds, can drown out the noise you make. Be extra noisy at these times. n Avoid areas with typical bear food sources. These include berry patches, grain fields, garbage pits, beehives and anywhere

you can see an animal carcass. n Watch for fresh bear signs. If the signs look like they were made recently, quickly and calmly leave the area. n Avoid being out at dusk, night or dawn. Although bear encounters can happen at any time of day, bears are most active at dusk, night and dawn. Quick Facts: n Under the Wildlife Act, it is illegal to feed or attract dangerous wildlife, such as bears. n Penalties can be as high as $100,000 in fines and one year in prison.

Defenceman Darryl Senholt goes hard into the boards with an Oceanside Generals player in Friday’s 4-1 win at Rod Brind’Amour Arena.

Storm resume winning ways The Campbell River Storm are four for four to start the season. On the weekend, before the hometown faithful, they dispatched the Oceanside Generals 4-1, then the Saanich Braves 5-1. General Manager and Head Coach Lee Stone was pleased with the team’s effort on Saturday against Saanich, “This was our best sixty minute performance of the season. We needed to make some improvements and we certainly did.” The Braves came into the game tied for first in the South Division. Stone was complimentary, “Saanich is a very good team, they work

hard, they compete; they have a veteran group”. L o os e pucks and uncontrolled rebounds played a big factor in the outcome. Early in the first period, newly arrived Storm goalie Olivier Charest gave up a rebound off a hot shot from Evan Horvath and Jordan Parmar punched in the rebound. Campbell River found themselves trailing in a game for the first time this season. The Saanich lead was short-lived when captain Gage Colpron fired a rebound past netminder Riley Mathieson. Colin Blake took a big hit at centre ice but was

able to feed the puck to speedster Braeden Cyra who split the defence. His shot went of f Mathieson and straight to Colpron who slid the puck along the ice and into the open side. Before the end of the frame, Alex Rosolowsky redirected a point blast from Trevor Bottomley to make it 2-1. At that point the Storm never looked back. Six minutes into the second period Josh Coblenz pounced on a puck lying on the goal line after Blake set up Colpron at the side of the net. Cyra and Kobe Oishi closed out the scoring in the third.

Blake played his best game of the season collecting 3 assists and drawing several penalties. His effectiveness on the fore check and patience with the puck earned him first star honours. It was the debut for Charest, who was acquired f rom t he Comox Valley Glaciers Kings last week. The 20 year old goalie from Brossard, Quebec, was part of the deal that saw defenceman Thor Rosback start the season with the Yetis. The Storm improved on their league leading penalty kill, stopping all four Saanich power

plays. Heading into week three they have allowed just 1 goal in 29 attempts and have scored twice a man short. On Friday against Oceanside, the Storm skated to a 4-1 win on a two goal performance from Colpron while Oishi and Christian Brandt added singles. Colpron (13 points) and Cyra (11 points) are the leading scorers in the VIJHL. Next action for the Storm is Wednesday on the road against the winless Westshore Wolves. On Friday, the Nanaimo Buccaneers return to Rod Brind’Amour Arena.

While Sequoia Springs isn’t the most treacherous course in the region – that honour definitely goes to Storey Creek – it’s not a walk-in-the-park, either. Well, it is a walk in the park, insomuch as you’re walking in what feels like parkland while you’re playing, but that’s not Our columnist Mike Davies splashes his bunker shot over one what I’m talking about. of the boulders and out of the greenside bunker on Sequoia Springs’ par-4 fifth hole. He doesn’t recommend puting I’m talking about how a yourself in a position where you have to hit that shot, but it’s missed fairway on this a fun challenge. – Photo by Joseph Lagos course can do as much damage as a missed fairway on any other, despite the fact that it looks like there’s room to spray the ball around a bit. The opening hole, for example, is a par-5 that double-doglegs – first left, then right – and forces you to not only hit the fairway off the tee if you’re going to score well, but forces you to play to the left side of it if you want to have a go at the green in two. A miss on either side of what looks at first glance like a straight-forward hole will basically take you out of contention for par or better. The undeniably evil fourth hole, another par-5 (and another double-dogleg) requires a well-placed – but not necessarily long – tee shot to the left side of the fairway. This is a dangerous proposition, as the fairway goes left, slopes to the leaf, and anything missing left likely results in a lost ball. Anything right of the left side of the fairway forces you into a very difficult layup to the bottom of the valley, where there is a hazard on the left side (the side you’re hitting toward) that sucks balls into it like a vacuum. If you manage to find your ball in there, you’ve got a difficult up-and-down for par on what is easily the hardest green on the course on which to sink a putt. The par-4 fifth can be kind of jerk these days, too. I’m not sure when they put in the massive bunker just right of the green that has two giant boulders in it, but it’s a heck of a hazard. Do not go there. Once you make the turn, things open up a bit more, but you have to miss by a lot for it to matter. The tree-lined fairways on the back nine look like you’ll have a shot if you go there, but you won’t. You have to miss so far left or right to be on the next fairway over if you want to have a chance at scoring well after a miss to either side. Oh, and speaking of being dialled in off the tee box…make sure you’re holding the correct club when you step on the tee at the par-3 11th. It’s essentially a peninsula. Anything left, right, or long of the green is doomed. Doomed. Anyway, I shouldn’t have to tell you to keep you ball on the fairway, but I think it’s valuable advice when it looks like missing it isn’t a huge deal. Trust me. It is. Until next time, See you out on the course – hopefully on the fairway.

Snowden challenge attracts competitors from all over Vancouver Island and B.C. The first running of the Snowden Trail Challenge on Sunday, Sept. 6 was a resounding success. Race director Arlene Halwa said, “I knew there was a demand for an ultra distance trail running event in Campbell River. Coupled with the mountain bike events, we had a great response from the community.” Entrants came from all over Vancouver Island and as far away as Quesnel to participate. Racers could choose from a 50K or 25k trail run or mountain bike, a 50K team category or a 14K trail run. All events took place on the Snowden Forest trails with the start and the finish at the PRT (Pacific Regeneration Technologies). The winners were: n 50K trail run Dar-

Catch the next Wave

Back in the late 70’s and 80’ s, there was a Mens Soccer Club known as the Campbell River Wave. This team entered the Vancouver Island Soccer League as an up and coming Div. 4 team. The club was comprised of local players from Campbell River and the North Island. and they experienced immediate success, winning division championships and promoting themselves all the way up to the top division, being the 1st division. The great play of our local team was a source of pride for our soccer community and a great way to share the soccer experience. The Campbell River Masters soccer club consists of a number of former Wave players who commonly share stories of the days gone by. The late 80’s saw the local side fade out of site with no longer any Senior Men’s soccer available for our up and coming youth of today. That is until now. Introducing the new Cermaq City Wave Soccer team. The journey has been the same, winning league championships, culminating in their newest promotion to Div. 2. The local men hope to provide an attacking brand of soccer that is a delight to watch and make the club one that the people of Campbell River can be very proud of. For soccer enthusiasts, the next home game takes place Saturday, Oct.26 at 2 p.m. at the Willow Point Sportsplex.
