No psyche services for new hospital MiKe Davies Campbell RiveR miRRoR

At one point in the planning of the new pair of hospitals for our area – one in Campbell River and

one in the Comox Valley – it was thought the Campbell River location would be the site of the region’s psychiatric services. But that was not to be. Since the current psychiatric

facility is located in St. Joseph’s in Comox, the new Comox Valley facility will retain these services, and Campbell River will have no psychiatric services available at its new hospital.

The city is holding off on increasing fees for criminal record checks following a public backlash over a proposal to charge volunteers. Council however did go ahead at its Sept. 14 meeting with upping the cost of other police service fees such as fingerprinting and requests for disclosure and reports requiring research. Carrie Jacobs, the city’s RCMP municipal manager, said the fee increase will more accurately reflect the cost of providing those services. “We are increasingly being requested by other government agencies, legal counsel and the general public for copies of information from police files,” Jacobs said. “These requests require a significant amount of staff time to locate and compile the data, and expurgate the data for any third party information. The recommended changes to fees and charges are required to establish an equitable approach to recover the costs of staff resources required to provide these services.” Increased fees for criminal record checks, however, which city council was considering in August, have been put on the back burner until October. After the Mirror’s report that city staff were recommending council increase the fee for criminal record checks to $50 and implement a $25

Hit-and-run victim seeks help in identifying perpetrator J.R. RaRdon

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A Willow Point man — and RCMP — are seeking help from the public in identifying the driver involved in a hitand-run crash on a quiet residential street in Willow Point early Friday morning. A vehicle southbound on Dalton Street, one block west of South Island Highway, crossed over the northbound lane and plowed through several garbage cans containing yard-waste recyclables before smashing into a 2007 Volkswagen GTI owned by Cal Livingston. “The car was undam-

aged up to this point,” Livingston said as he surveyed the wreckage later Friday morning. “It looks worse in the light than it did in the dark.” Two different neighbours who spotted the hit-and-run vehicle leaving the scene described it as a “smoky grey” Jeep four-door, with a hard top and spare tire mounted on the back. The impact shoved the Volkswagen, which was parked in the grassy right-of-way in front of Livingston’s house, backward into his driveway. It shattered the grille and left headlight assembly, pushed the radiator into the engine and folded the car’s hood while leaving

plastic, glass and the front license plate strewn among garbage pails, lids and grass clippings. “There are no skid marks, so they didn’t try to stop,” said Livingston. “And they obviously weren’t steering.” Though it is insured — “With a deductible,” he adds — Livingston is afraid the Volkswagen may have to be written off. Livingston, 64, is a logger who had just come off a 10-day work shift and driven back Thursday night from Beaver Cove, on North Vancouver Island. He noted that had the incident happened any other night, his black Volkswagen

would likely not have been in the path of the other driver. “The car had only been here about four hours (before it was hit),” he

said. “Normally I’d keep it in the driveway, but I had to take my boat in for maintenance this morning so I wanted to leave the driveway open.

“Seems like everything was working against me.” The sound of the impact alerted both his neighbours across the street, who looked out

their front window, and another neighbour on the southwest corner of the block, who was with guests on a front deck outside when the Jeep passed by. But Livingston slept through the crash. Photos were taken of the damage and the RCMP were contacted as well as a claim was filed with ICBC. The hope is somebody will recognize the Jeep and spots recent front-end damage and black paint from the Volkswagen will step forward. Anyone with any information can call Crimestoppers at 1-800222-TIPS or Campbell River RCMP at 250-2866221.

administration fee for volunteer criminal record checks, the public voiced concern to City Hall and through letters to the editor to this publication. Volunteer Campbell River told the Mirror last month that charging volunteers “would be a barrier and a deterrent” to those wanting to give their time. City council deferred the issue, and asked city staff for more information. Ross Milnthorp, the city’s general manager of parks, recreation and culture, said city staff will bring a report to council next month that will recommend a joint solution between the city and Volunteer Campbell River. One of those solutions may involve providing public access to the province’s free online criminal record check service for volunteers through the Ministry of Justice. The Ministry also provides a reduced, $28 fee for criminal record checks related to employment. Milnthorp said the city recognizes the value of volunteers and the rationale for charging a fee is to help reduce the volume of criminal record checks, and therefore wait times. While a decision on raising those fees won’t come down until at least October, in the meantime, the city will go ahead with implementing the changes for the other police service fees. Key changes include a new $25 fingerprint processing fee as required for applications, other than police information checks processed at the Campbell River RCMP detachment, and for people from places such as Port Hardy and Port McNeill who want faster processing services than are currently provided in their community. For people looking for information that requires research there will be a new fee of $75 for the first hour and $10 for every 15 minutes thereafter. Accident and crime scene reports will increase from $20 to $35 while a photograph will now cost $25 per transaction plus $1.50 per photo. CDs, DVDs, and other electronic media will cost $25 per transaction plus $0.75 per disk. A mechanical inspection will now cost $175 while an analyst report will cost $150.

Hospital: Questions raised about psychiatric department

Continued from Pg. 1

lic information session. The quarterly presentations allow those involved in the project to give the community updates on its progress, as well as allow the public to have questions answered. “What we’re finding in a lot of the public presentations we’re making nowadays,” Sparrow said, “is the questions are not really focusing anymore on construction. People are beginning to realize that these projects are real, and there are hospitals coming out of the ground.” As if to illustrate Sparrow’s assertion, numerous voices in the crowd were raised in reaction to the presentation slide which showed the distribution of the beds available in each department of each of the two facilities. Of the 95 beds in the Campbell River facility, 72 will be devoted to “Medical-Surgical,” six to “Intensive Care,” seven to “Telemetry,” seven to “Labour, Delivery, Recovery, Postpartum,” and three to “Pediatric.” Numerous questions were raised about the 11 beds in the Comox Valley’s new facility dedicated to “Psychiatry,” the additional four beds for, “Psychiatric Intensive Care,” and why Campbell River’s facility had a zero in both those columns. “Were there ever plans to include a psychiatric department up here, and if so, why was that scrapped?” came the first audience question on the subject. “O r i g i n a l ly t h e re was,” Sparrow said. “But because the psych unit is already set up in the Courtenay area, the psychiatrists and all of the support staff already live in that area. For us to actually flip it over and bring it up here, it would have meant they would have all had to move up here, as well.” He said that upon consultation with the clinicians and staff who provide those services, they heard that the preference was to keep the facility down in the Comox Valley. A follow-up question from another audience member asked why they couldn’t have split the numbers of beds and had at least some psychiatric services in both new facilities. “There’s economies of scale at play,” Sparrow said. “You’re dealing

“ This hospital is designed to accommodate an additional 40,000 square feet of space on level one, which means you could go out 40,000 square feet, and then you could go up three floors,” Sparrow said, implying there was consideration in the design phase for

with a finite amount of support staff (for a particular health program). So if you’re splitting it up where you’re actually servicing from two different areas, that puts pressure on our ability to actually provide enough staff, enough resources, to support that.” Basically, the cost of offering the same

amount of medical service split over two locations increases substantially. “You have to look at the feasibility of providing services well, you have to look at your resources to accommodate whatever that might be. The original plan was to have the psych unit up here in Campbell River,”

Sparrow said again, but the team who provides those services decided they wanted to stay in the Comox Valley. The good news, however, is that there is room for the Campbell River facility to grow to accommodate services like psychiatric, should it be determined in the future they are needed.

an additional wing to be added at a later date. Also, the inside of the structure itself, as it’s designed, can be rearranged to accommodate more services, should they be needed in the future. “Our administration area could be turned into

a medical area, for example,” Sparrow said. “A lot of the ambulatory care could be changed into something else. We tried to design these facilities to include a lot of adaptability and scalability.” The next public information is at Timberline on Dec. 10 at 7 p.m.

Turning blind eye to conflict is the easy way out There are certain perks that come along with this job from time to time. Whether it be getting the chance to meet Canucks great Trevor Linden, getting put up in a spectacular, ocean-view room at Hollyhock resort or crossing the Elk Falls suspension bridge before its opening date. But the greatest joy of all comes from the people I get to meet. Last week I had the pleasure of being invited into the home of Merell and Fouad Awad, coowner’s of the popular Baba Gannouj restaurant. Both were very warm and welcoming even though I was there to talk about a difficult and tense situation. Merell’s family – including her mother and two sisters and their families – are stuck in Syria, living under the constant threat of attack. Merell was honest and straightforward in her answers to my questions as she described rockets landing only mere minutes from her family’s homes. While I was there to do my job, I could sympathize with what she’s going through and it

COMMENT Kristen Douglas

The Laura Smith campaign team’s choice to avoid the Council of Canadians’ (COC) all-candidates meeting is an unsettling decision. Of course, it doesn’t appear to be something they actually have any choice over. The decision is based on Conservative party all-candidates guidelines which this forum does not appear to meet. Most likely because it’s a leftist organization focussing on topics that are not big on the Tory radar as outlined in a COC press release: “Saving Public Health Care; Defending Democracy; Climate Change/Sustainable Energy Production/Protecting Water; and Ensuring Trade Justice.” Granted, the COC is far from a politically-neutral organization. Its agenda is decidedly left of centre We say: We and the choice of topics is would expect our designed to further that by generating candidates to face agenda discussion and nailing candidates down on their tough questions position on these issues. Presumably, Smith will be attending the Oct. 8 forum co-sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce (and the Campbell River Mirror and Tidemark Theatre) – a more business-friendly forum that obviously suits her better. She was also invited to the forum last night on First Nations issues run by the We Wai Kum First Nation and Nuu-chah-nulth Tribal Council. In addition, yesterday’s seniors centre forum was expecting her as well. Choosing not to participate in a forum that you don’t agree with is not the kind of representation you hope from your potential federal representative. If you as a constituent come to your Member of Parliament for action on an issue said member does not believe in, you will still expect the MP to represent your interests and take up your cause. If you have a question for your MP on an issue, you certainly wouldn’t stand for a refusal to answer the question because it deals with an issue they don’t support. You would expect an answer. Well, avoiding an all-candidates forum is the same as saying “I won’t answer that question.” Election campaigns are for getting answers from your candidates. If the questions are uncomfortable, then that’s too bad, your ability to handle them is testament to your skill, open-mindedness and toughness. If you can’t stand the heat, get out of kitchen.

family members. It’s not the first time for the local church which has also sponsored refugees from Bosnia, Kosovo, and, most recently, Pakistan. It will be a lengthy process – Merell told me the family has to travel from Syria to either Turkey, Lebanon or Jordan where they will have to stay unemployed for a minimum of six months before being approved by the Canadian embassy in those countries for entrance into Canada. But I wish the best for the family and hope that in due time they will be en route to Campbell River and settling in our community. While Merell is clearly a strong woman, it’s heartbreaking to hear her describe how her mother is living in a home where all of her glass windows have been blown out from a rocket landing 10 minutes away, or about how panicked her sister was after a car bomb exploded while her daughter was outside playing. No one should have to live like that. I know it’s impossible to save everybody, but every little bit counts and when the opportunity arises to help someone out, we should take it.

Fee increase to impact sports groups

Storm will not be affected by the proposed fees as the team has a separate contract with the Strathcona Regional District. Included in the fee overhaul is also a change to hourly pool rental fees, from $10.50 to $12.65, phased in over five years. Fees for skate sharpening are proposed to be raised from $4 to $5 to be line with other local sports stores and recreation facilities across the Island.

KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Fees at Strathcona Gardens are expected to rise. The Strathcona Gardens Commission endorsed a plan to adjust rental fees and the cost of skate sharpening to align with fees charged by other recreation centres on the Island. The commission made the decision at its Sept. 16 meeting following a recommendation from Strathcona Regional District staff. Russ Hotsenpiller, the regional district’s CAO, said the recommendation was made to raise the fees after comparing Strathcona Gardens’ fees with those at other Island facilities. “Staff have considered end user affordability, maximizing facility use, community benefit, and made comparisons to neighbouring municipal recreation facilities,” Hotsenpiller said. “It should be noted that Strathcona Gardens rates are generally below average for most categories in comparison to other facilities.” Hotsenpiller said that’s likely because incremental fee increases have not taken place on a regular basis. Yves Bienvenu, facility manager of Strathcona Gardens, said the fee increase will be applied to groups who rent out the Gardens. He added that with rising operations costs, in order to maintain the status quo, if the user groups aren’t paying, then the costs would have to be passed on to the taxpayers,

some of which may not be using the facility. “Since 2007, most of the cost recovery has been absorbed by the taxpayer and not the users themselves,” Bienvenu said. “We understand that organized sports are expensive and that any increase will most likely get tacked on to a registration fee for either children or adult users.” The recommended fee increase for arena ice rentals is to up the $68.75 primetime fee for minor groups by three per cent in each of the next five years, until it reaches $79.69 by the 2020/21 season. For non-prime time, the existing $58.75 fee would rise by three

per cent in the first two years, then four per cent in years three and four and by five per cent in year five, when the cost would reach $70.78. For dry floor rentals, the current $47.25 fee would remain the same for minor groups. For adult groups, ice rentals during primetime would jump from $148.75 to $172.44, phased in over five years, while non-prime time ice rentals will go from $113.25 to $131.28, also phased in over five years. Dry floor rentals for adult groups will increase from the current $47.25 to $54.78 after five years. Bienvenu said the plan is to phase the increases

in over five years in consideration of the impact it will have on the larger user groups. “CR Minor Hockey our biggest user group – to maintain their present bookings, they will see their annual fees jump from $126,587 to $146,749 after five years,” Bienvenu said. “Other major user groups impacted are the Pioneer Hockey League (from $44,163 to $51,197) and the CR Figure Skating Club (from $41,869 to $48,537).” The Campbell River

COMMUNITY UPDATE SEPTEMBER 23, 2015 DID YOU KNOW? British Columbia Medal of Good Citizenship Nominations for the Province’s Medal of Good Citizenship are now being accepted by the British Columbia Honours and Awards Secretariat. Nominate someone who has made outstanding contributions to the community by Friday, September 25, 2015. More information is available on the B.C. Honours and Awards Secretariat website.

YOU ASKED: WHAT WILL THE PATHWAY LIGHTS BE LIKE AT ROBRON PARK? The new lights for the pathways at Robron Park will stand four metres high, shorter than parking lot lights (six metres). The lighting is designed to focus light directly down on the ground, rather than shining up and out. We understand that people want to enjoy their home with minimal night lighting, noise and traffic – even when living near a park or sports facility. This lighting plan is being installed to meet the needs of park users while minimizing the impact on neighbours living near the park. Both sport and site lighting were included in the original upgrade plan for Robron Park. The plan was developed between 2008 and 2010 by a steering committee that consulted with nearby residents and sports enthusiasts in 2009 and 2010. Feedback from that consultation was incorporated into the Robron Park Implementation Plan that was finalized and endorsed by City Council. The new sports field lighting will only be on when the field is in use. Sports field lighting is intended to extend the all-weather field use during the darker days of the year, making the most of this important community investment. The lighting in the parking lots and along the pathways will be on at night, with the light illuminating only the ground below. These lighting upgrades will have the double benefit of increasing public safety and deterring vandalism. The current phase of Robron Park development is entirely funded by the Community Works Fund (through the Federal Gas Tax) and previously accumulated City Parks Parcel Tax funding. The project is scheduled to be complete by the end of November, so the construction activity currently underway Monday to Saturday from approximately 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. is temporary.

When a DOLLAR Isn’t A Dollar

Consider this scenario. Two different people ask you to give them $10. Person No.1 says, “If you give ME $10, I will give $1 back to your family and friends.” Person No.2 says, “If you give ME $10, I will give $2 back to your family and friends.” Which person would you give your money to? Seems simple, right? Well, that’s exactly the proposition that is facing consumers today when they are choosing where to shop for their home improvement goods. For every $1,000 they spend at a big box store, only $116 of that money is re-circulated back into the local community. When they spend $1,000 at a locally owned home improvement store, $230 of that money stays within the local community.

Local businesses contribute to the health and prosperity of their communities in the following ways: ➣ Labour and Skills: Local businesses either train their staff members to perform more skilled work to keep labour in house or will outsource to local providers. In contrast, national chains have their headquarters do this labour for them. ➣ Profits: A larger portion of independent stores’ profits stay in a community. In contrast, national chains redistribute profits to their shareholders or invest the money into global operations. ➣ Procurement: A business that is local will pay for local accounting services, local media services, local legal services... etc. National chains provide these professional services in house from their headquarters.

➣ Charitable Giving: Local business owners generally give back to their own communities in a multitude of ways. In contrast, national chains are more likely to donate to national charities or groups located near their headquarters, not near their stores.

NORTH ISL AND EMPLOYMENT FOUNDATIONS SOCIETY ( NIEFS )

The United Nations has predicted that the world’s population is expected to increase by 38%, from 6.9 billion in 2010 to 9.6 billion in 2050. Worldrenowned marine explorer Jacques Cousteau has said, “We must plant the sea and herd its animals using the sea as farmers instead of hunters.” Grieg Seafood began salmon farming on Vancouver Island’s west coast in 2000, when past CEO Per Grieg realized that producing food to feed the world would be of key importance in the 21st century. Grieg’s has 103 employees residing in 12 communities with nearly half living in Campbell River. They coach sports teams and volunteer in theatre groups and at local festivals and community events. Most have young families and are putting down roots in Campbell River. Grieg utilizes services valued at more than $60 million annually from more than 100 BCsupplier and contract service companies.

NIEFS is a charitable communitybased not-for-profit organization and the major employment agency for Northern Vancouver Island. As a leader in workforce development we provide services to over 5000 job seekers and 500 companies annually. As an organization, we have been actively connecting employers with workers since 1986. With almost 30 years in business, NIEFS is a cornerstone in our community building extensive partnerships with businesses, other organizations, communities and individuals in Campbell River and across the North Island. These partnerships are integral to our ability to assist people to build self-sufficiency through active and sustainable participation in the labour market and assist employers to hire the right people, with the right skills at the right time contributing to a strong, resilient and healthy community.

The Grieg family, who operate salmon farms in Norway and the Shetland Islands, recognized the potential that BC’s coastline would offer as a natural marine environment for farming salmon. In 2007 Grieg expanded to the east coast of Vancouver Island. Today it holds 21 farm licences and operates a hatchery in Gold River.

SEPTEMBER 27TH ALISTAIR TAYLOR/CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The Storm’s Brett Witala is sent flying after attempting to avoid interfering Buccaneer defender Tyler Graham while he and Storm winger Alex Rosolowsky fish for the puck in Friday’s 4-1 Storm loss at Rod Brind’Amour Arena.

Storm drop their first of the season

“They were relentless; they worked as hard as they normally work.” Those were the words of Campbell River Storm General Manager and Head Coach Lee Stone describing the play of the Nanaimo Buccaneers on the weekend. The Bucs handed the Storm their first loss of the season, a 4-1 decision. Nanaimo netminder Alex Orth was the night’s first star turning aside 41 of 42 shots. He was the difference maker for the visitors who came to Rod Brind’Amour Arena prepared. “They capitalized on their chances and kept us to the outside and when we did generate scoring chances their goaltender was very strong,” Stone

said. Campbell River’s Kobe Oishi put one past Orth but that was it. Midway through the first period, Oishi, on a pass from Christian Brandt, fired a shot from the faceoff circle that somehow found a way through the keepers pad. Alex Brewer set up the play with a nifty pass to Brandt from the Campbell River end. Late in the frame Nanaimo potted in a pair from behind the Storm goal line. At 14:13, Connor Mowatt fired a shot from the corner that bounced off Matt Kostiw into the back off the net. Four minutes later, Will Koop alone in the slot fired in his own rebound off a sprawling Kostiw.

The Storm goalie made a great initial stop sliding across his crease but the Nanaimo forward was able to redirect the rebound from behind the net. Koop, who was a late cut of the BCHL’s Nanaimo Clippers has made an impact with the top line in just two games with the Buc’s. At the first break the Storm found themselves behind 2-1. Nanaimo’s final two goals came off the stick of former Saskatoon Blade, Nic Gomerich. His first at the 7:18 mark of the second period seem to take the air out of the building and provide his club more confidence. He added an empty-netter to close off

■ ■ ■ ■

the 4-1 score line and avenge Nanaimo’s previous 7-0 loss to the Storm. Stone felt his team’s play was disappointing, “we came into the game with the expectation we would win without working our hardest.” He also felt that the effort wasn’t there in their 5-3 victory earlier in the week over Westshore. For Stone, the solution is simple, “work ethic, tireless work ethic; that is the expectation every night and the rest will come.” The Campbell River Storm remain atop of the VIJHL North Division with 10 points (5-1-0-0) The Storm could be without two regulars for their next home date this Friday against Oceans-

ide. Kostiw left the game after the first period against Nanaimo, after suffering back discomfort, and will be assessed by midweek. Braeden Cyra will be serving a 2 game suspension for a hit on Owen Dalman in the second period. In other Storm news, g o a lt e n d e r O l i v i e r Charest has moved up to Junior ‘A’ with the Bonnyville Pontiacs of the AJHL. Forward Keenan Scardina and goalie Adam DeRochie joined the club and were on the ice Friday; DeRochie taking over from Kostiw in the second period. Defenceman Mitch Popp was traded to the Nanaimo Buccaneers.

I say, “apparently,” because golf columnist lines up a putt on the practice green at I know exactly what I need Our Storey Creek Golf Course. He should do this more often. to do in order to improve that aspect of my game. It’s the same thing you have to do to improve anything you want to be better at in life. You have to practise it. Well, I don’t want to. The reason I don’t putt well is that I find that the least fun aspect of the game. Yes, I know it’s the most important aspect of the game. I know all the clichés about “drive for show, putt for dough,” and, “the game is played from 100 yards and in,” and all that. But it’s boring! Wait. Could it be that it’s not fun because I’m not good at it? Could it be that I have fun hitting short-irons because it feels good to do something well, and is therefore more enjoyable? Could it be that putting could become fun, if only I was better at it? Hmmm…now that I’ve talked it through, I think this is entirely possible. Probable, even. So how, I ask, does one force themselves to do something that is not fun?

If I only have an hour to engage in an activity that relieves my stress levels, gives me some physical exercise and resets my emotional state to something that will allow others to spend time around me without wanting to punch me in the face, why would I spend that hour doing something that won’t actually accomplish any of that by going to the putting green instead of the driving range? I don’t have an answer to that, obviously, because I have yet to go to a golf course and go to the putting green instead of the range. But I know that I’ll have to if I ever want to improve what is far and away the worst aspect of my game and costs me the most strokes when I’m on the course. Maybe next season. Maybe next year is the year that burning the edge of the hole on your three-foot par putt will stop being known as “Daviesing it.” We’ll see.

between Larson and Justin Beaulieu. Beaulieu held Larson to the outside for the entire race and was able to edge out a very tight win over Larson, taking home his second straight main event win. Fifteen laps were also awarded to the Roadrunner’s for their main event which saw points leader Ryan Guest work his way around the outside of the entire pack to move himself into the lead and he would hold on from there to take home his eleventh main event win of the season, his first since becoming a father only three weeks ago. Twenty-one cars entered into the 25-lap Hornet B main. Points leader Rowland Westra took the night off, opening the door for Keegan McCosh, who came out of nowhere to grab an early lead and would manage to hold on from there to take home his first ever main event win, one day before his 15th birthday. Twenty laps were given to the Hornet A cars for their main event. Nigel Neufeld – who sat only 31 points back for the point’s lead to start the night

– jumped out into an early lead after starting on the front row and wouldn’t look back from there, holding off a hard-charging pack to take home his first main event win of the year. Cam Edward had himself a great run in the Crash to Pass main event. Edward was able to hold off a hard charging pack to take home his third main event of the year, closing the gap between him and points leader Hopp who blew his motor on the night. Extra laps…What’s better than a big turkey dinner mixed with a huge firework show? Well on the Thanksgiving weekend, Saratoga will be treating fans to an amazing firework show, and displaying our first pumpkin race in many years. Cars will have a full size Pumpkin placed on their hoods and will try to outlast all of the other competitors, with the last Pumpkin remaining winning.

What is National Forest Week? National Forest Week is sponsored across Canada by many individuals and diverse governmental and non-governmental organizations across Canada. During National Forest Week, Canadians are invited to learn more about Canada’s forest heritage and to raise awareness about this valuable and renewable resource. Forests are fundamental to our economy, culture, traditions and history – and to our future. Communities, families and individuals depend on forests for their livelihood and way of life.

History Established circa 1920 as Forest Fire Prevention Week, the intention was to encourage greater public awareness towards Canada’s forests. At the time,

there was no apparent shortage of trees for industrial expansion – the greatest threat came from forest fires, due mainly to human causes. Since then National Forest Week, as it was renamed in 1967, has evolved to encompass the many and varied human and environmental aspects of Canada’s forest resources – past, present and future. Although special activities are promoted across Canada, National Forest Week remains first and foremost a challenge to individual Canadians to learn more about their forest heritage and support greater recognition of this valuable resource. National Forest Week is observed annually during the last full week of September, Sunday through Saturday. National Tree Day is observed on the Wednesday of National Forest Week. This years theme is Wildland Fire, a powerful natural force. Fire has shaped Canada’s forests, prairies and parklands for countless generations, and brings healthy renewal to diverse ecosystems. But some fires can have a devastating

impact on public safety and property. Use FireSmart principles to help protect your family and property from

wildfire damage: play a role in control.

The Devine Crew

Lisa Perrault, RFT, Western Forest Products Inc. In 1975, the Devine Fire Suppression Crew set up camp in the Pemberton Ranger District with a dozen female post-secondary students between 18 and 22 years of age. This was a first-ofits-kind experiment in using a team of women as forest fire fighters. Their foreman, Norm Slavik, trained them with the discipline to be a solid, productive unit, ensuring that crew members were fit for anything demanded of them. Fire suppression crews did a variety of work when there were no fires to attend to, digging outhouse holes, building recreation sites, trails and stairs, hanging cattle fencing and brushing out logging roads. The new crew kept busy with shovels, Pulaski’s, Sandviks, mattocks and chainsaws, and were taught how to start pumps, lay hose and dig fireguards. They staged “rehearsal fires” and used their new skills on imaginary flames. After work, they put on backpack pump tanks full of 50lbs. of water and hiked around the area to build up strength for firefighting with heavy gear on. But practice did not completely prepare the crew for the reality of a forest fire. The big “10 Mile Fire” started from a

train wheel spark The call came in during lunch and the crew reported immediately to the fire command base already set up in a farmer’s field. It was like a war headquarters; large equipment on the move, airplanes overhead, helicopters landing and taking off, the sound of machinery, and people yelling orders. The Devine crew was split up and joined teams loaded with equipment heading off in various directions to fight the fire as it jumped up into steep bluffs. Part of the Devine crew hiked in to where a bird dog aircraft had crashed when leading the fire bomber in, killing the pilot. A fire still burned around the hot engines embedded in the forest floor and the fire fighters got water onto the hot spots and dug a guard around the area so it didn’t spread. On the main fire, the crew members found themselves challenged to stay clear of the fire’s advance and out from under the planes and helicopters flying overhead, so they didn’t get hit as thick, red fire retardant was released. When the flames were finally contained, the huge task of covering all the ground on foot began, digging out smoldering roots and using water to

ensure all embers were cold. Work on the fire lasted weeks and was an enormous challenge physically and mentally. It was a unique opportunity and a pivotal summer. The excellent performance of the Devine crew meant that women wildfire fighters did not work out of separate camps in the years following, but were assimilated into regular fire suppression crews. Three Devine crew members went on to complete forestry programs and go into careers in the forest sector. Lisa Perrault (photo - front, centre) became

a registered professional forest technologist and has worked at Western Forest Products in Campbell River since 1998.

NOTE: Respected forestry consultant Norm Slavik, foreman of the1975 Devine crew (also in the photo), died in a float plane crash off Port McNeill in 2013.

Forestry Letter Breagh Kobayashi

Let’s be honest: online quizzes are almost 100% inaccurate when it comes to determining which career will really match a given person’s interests. And yet, this is the only chance that most high school students get to discover a job that they will be passionate about. With no work experience to speak of, except part-time jobs in grocery stores, it’s difficult for anyone to feel confident about their choices as they enter their first real workplace. However, as I toured everything from the Campbell River Watershed to Holbrook Dyson Logging with the rest of my class, I was given the opportunity to meet with many professionals and see them going about their every-day jobs, always speaking about their careers with pride and showing the class around with enthusiasm. Through the Carihi Forestry class, I had the chance to see what working in the forest industry would really be like.

Not only did we go on numerous field trips and make connections in the industry, we also got hands-on experience, learning how to traverse and run deflection lines, among other things. I thought this was one of the most important aspects of the program. While the ability to study is certainly useful, it won’t benefit anyone much beyond university… and the majority of students never attend post-secondary institutions.

~ CELEBRATING OUR 32nd YEAR IN BUSINESS ~

In high school, education is rarely geared towards the majority. In fact, the Forestry class is the only course I ever took that attempted a different approach to education and taught

students skills that may directly benefit them in a work-place. Also, one of my favourite parts of the class was when we were given time to work on projects of our choice. This

Carihi Secondary School is offering a Forestry Education Program for grade 10, 11 and 12 students using 21st Century learning strategies (project/student inquiry based), that will see students learning outside of the traditional classroom. This is only one of two forestry programs on Vancouver Island, and only three others in the province. This course builds employable skills by using a hand’s on approach that will educate students on BC’s largest natural resource—forestry. This course offers students a curriculum with a variety of experiences, including numerous field trips around our community and into numerous forestry settings right in their own back yard.

gave everyone the chance to explore an aspect of forestry that interested them, at their own pace and in their own style. A few local professionals were even happy to help guide me through the research for my project, and answer all my questions. This experience was more valuable to me than anything I learned in my PreCalculus course. It was ultimately because of my time in the Carihi Forestry class that

I was able to get a job in the forest industry straight out of high school. Without the class, I would never have been hired by any forestry company. This summer, I have gained work experience in the forest industry and I have learned a lot about my dream career. In the fall, I will be attending UBC for the Forest Resources Management program, with a specialization in International Forestry. Through this program, I will eventually become a RPF. I have

no idea where I may go from there, but I can’t wait to find out.

Battling the Great Fire of 1938 Catherine Gilbert, Museum at Campbell River

The haze that was seen hanging over the sky this past July is a reminder that forest fires are a danger that is never far away; particularly during long, hot and dry spells when the woods are poised to go up in flames like a tinderbox. Our recent forest fires happened to occur on the anniversary of one of the largest forest fires ever seen in British Columbia. Known as the Great Fire, it was so huge that haze and smoke from the fire was seen as far south as Portland, Oregon, over 500 kilometres away.

The fire was first spotted by a young student by the name of David Crawley, who was staying at Camp Five near Campbell River and working that summer on fire patrol. His job was to walk down the rail lines in the vicinity of the logging operations and look out for signs of smoke or flames. It was 1938, and trains were still commonly used to haul timber out of the woods. On a particularly hot afternoon on the 5th of July when logging had ceased for the day, he and his friend Jack were intending to go for a swim in nearby Gosling Lake. But before they could get to the water, Crawley happened to turn around, and spotted smoke rising from a cold deck pile of logs about 300 feet away from the track the boys had been patrolling earlier that day.

It was supposed later, that a spark from a passing engine may have been smoldering in the wood pile. Crawley ran to the nearest phone to sound the alarm, but by the time he reached it, Frank Coy the warden was already coming down the tracks on a train engine that was pushing a water car. Soon, in the deadly dry conditions, the fire was spreading onto both sides of the tracks. “I looked at the fire once more, which by now was doubling in size every ten minutes,” Crawley wrote in the Museum at Campbell River newsletter Musings Vol XXII, No. 3, “and I thought that it would burn until the snows of next winter.” He went on to say that “while the fire did not burn until snowfall as I had predicted, it burned south for almost a month to within one and a half miles of Campbell River.” The town was saved by a change in the wind that steered the fire toward Courtenay, where the street lights were kept on all day because of the smoke. Crawley and his friend Jack, known to the loggers as ‘sparkchasers’ were put to work to fight the fire, as well as every available chokerman, rigging

slinger, whistlepunk, section hand, faller and bucker. He recalled that a group of convicts from the Nanaimo penitentiary were also brought in. This historic event has had a considerable influence on modern day logging practices. Greater attention is now paid to fire prevention, and when there are long dry spells and potential for fire hazard is high as we have seen this summer, work in the forests shuts down until conditions improve. It also precipitated a review of reforestation in BC resulting in significant growth of the tree planting industry.

Invasive Plant Treatment Jason Hutchinson

Public warning: Look around you, check the ditch lines next time you take a walk, check your garden or local park, alien and invasive plants maybe invading your neighborhood. Japanese Knotweed, Himalayan Knotweed, Spotted Knapweed and Butterfly Bush are species of priority to identify. Invasive plants displace native vegetation and negatively impact our natural environment altering plant and wildlife habitat. Shallow root systems can increase erosion, causing higher surface runoff, which increases stream sediment and reduces water quality. Riparian invasive plants often grow in dense monocultures, resulting in negative impacts to nesting cover and breeding habitat for fish and wildlife. Infestations can change wetland structure by trapping sediments, creating higher, drier formations that favors tree and shrub species rather than wetland species. The Coastal Invasive Species Committee is a registered non-profit society serving the geographic areas of Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands and the Regional Districts of Powell River,

Sunshine Coast, Mount Waddington and Strathcona. Their mandate is to take a leadership role to reduce the negative impacts of invasive alien species and education the public.

Preventing and managing the spread of invasive plants is everyone’s responsibility! Here is what you can do to help: •

LEARN how to identify

•

REPORT invasive plants through

into a public parks or natural areas.

Due to the high risk of these invasive plants spreading into nearby natural areas and private property, causing harm to people, the environment and infrastructure, the Coastal Invasive Species Committee (Coastal ISC) works to control these highly invasive priority plants. Invasive Plant treatment and control work has been underway in Campbell River and the North Island. These treatments occur from the beginning of July to late October. This is done on properties where funding

has been provided. The Coastal ISC works under a comprehensive pest management plan which follows an integrated approach to managing these species. An appropriate combination of mechanical, chemical and biological treatment methods are used to eradicate these noxious weeds growing throughout coastal communities. The Coastal ISC’s website has more information to help you learn to

identify invasive plants. There website is www.coastalisc.com. Check out the free App “Report-aWeed” today and download it to your mobile device and then while you are out walking through your local neighborhood, use this tool to help identify and track these pesky invasive plants before they take over our native environment.

QUESTIONNAIRE:

Take a walk through the Beaver Lodge Forest Lands during National Forest Week and learn about the forests within our backyard, answer these questions and learn some fun facts: The Beaver Lodge area was logged by railway in the 1920’s. In 1931, 1028 acres of land was donated to the province of British Columbia by the Elk River Timber Company. This land was given in trust to be used for experimental work in reforestation and forest management. In 1993 the Beaver Lodge Forest Trust Renewal Act (Bill 52) was passed, legally

protecting this provincial gift for its intended use as an experimental working forest. To develop a management plan for the BLFL, the Ministry of Forests struck the Beaver Lodge Forest Trust Committee, of which the Simms Creek Stewardship Society and Greenways Land Trust are active members. In 2006, Greenways Land Trust became responsible for stewardship of the lands in partnership with what was then the B.C. Forest Service. Many animals and people use these Lands see how well you know these forests:

1) Name five different coniferous trees found in the BLFL?

5) Name three types of tree diseases found within the BLFL’s?

WORKING TOGETHER FOR LOCAL PROSPERITY Three things to remember about BC’s coastal forest industry: 1. BC’s forests are a renewable resource and our trees are harvested sustainably. 2. Harvesting trees within BC’s working forest creates local, reliable, high-paying jobs. 3. Local companies pay taxes in your community and support local groups and teams. The Truck Loggers Association has 450 member companies, 76 are based in Campbell River. We’re working to keep you working.

6) What type of forest equipment was used to salvage log the wind-through damage that occurred in the southern region of the BLFL’s? ________________________________________ _______________________________________

Community Wildfire Protection Planning Leigh Stalker , RPF Strategic Natural Resource Consultants

Risk analysis reports on other areas of Vancouver Island and throughout BC have ranked wildland urban interface fire as one of the highest risks to residents, compared to other types of natural disasters. With the goal of increasing community safety and to assess and manage the risk of wildfire within its boundaries, the Strathcona Regional District (SRD) commissioned Strategic Natural Resource Consultants in 2013 to prepare a Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) for the City of Campbell River. A CWPP is a plan prepared by a qualified forest professional for a community. It defines risk areas within the community for interface fires, identifies measures necessary to mitigate those risks, and outlines a plan of action to implement the measures. The study area surrounding the City of Campbell River encompasses a large geographic area, within which there are many values at risk, both in terms of natural values and human development: residences, businesses, transmission lines, natural gas pipelines, working forests/commercially valuable

timber, transportation corridors, community watersheds and sensitive ecosystems. Although large wildfires are not a frequent occurrence in the area, weather conditions do produce high and extreme fire danger annually and wildfires do occur in the area every year. Human-caused fires in the

area are by far the most common. Fire suppression is performed by fire departments, the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Wildfire Management Branch, private forest landowner staff and contractors and fire hydrant installations in private subdivisions and businesses.

Many structures and other human developments in the area are directly adjacent or are intermixed with wildland vegetation. This vegetation was analyzed, and discussions with stakeholders and government agencies helped to identify some key areas of concern that guided the study. Specific

Existing conditions within the study area warranted action be taken to mitigate the hazards and risks so recommendations were provided to deal with the hazards and risks associated with a wildfire event. Recommendations ranged from education (i.e. enhancing public

knowledge and increasing training and local knowledge), to engineering (i.e. vegetation modification, fire hydrant installation) and enforcement (i.e. bylaw review and clarification). As of September 2014, the SRD has implemented several recommendations provided by this and other CWPPs prepared for other communities within the SRD, namely: the addition of regional CWPPs, fire risk and FireSmart information to the SRD website, training of Campbell River Fire Department

Fire Scanning New Technologies in the suppression of Wildfires in BC â&#x20AC;&#x201C; by Zoie Richards, Strategic Natural Resource Consultants When I first started working in the forestry industry I did not realize that it would be one that would constantly be transforming and utilizing new technologies in a variety of sectors. For example, we used to dream in forestry tech school about using jet packs to survey setting boundaries in horrendously brushy ground. Today the technologies around surveying and information collection have advanced immensely to help Foresters, Engineers and even Firefighters do their jobs more effectively. In the wildfire management sector infrared technologies are now being used to assist in fire suppression operations, assisting crews in finding areas where fire is not always visible by normal means. Over the last few years I have had the privilege of being part of fire suppression as both an infrared scanner and mapper. Starting in 2009 Strategic Natural Resource Consultants was contracted through Peak Helicopters in order to provide mapping and scanning information to the BC Wildfire Management Branch. Crews in the aircraft have an excellent view of the ground, can view areas

Radiators

where fires burning are not visible with the naked eye (hotspot), can access any terrain, visit multiple fires in a day, and can drop markers in the field at the locations of the hotspots. Maps can be produced within minutes after a scan and can be delivered directly to ground crews who will locate and extinguish the hotspots identified by the scanner. This saves an incredible amount of time for firefighters who normally have to walk the burnt areas looking for these hotspots by feeling a r o u n d fo r heat with their bare hands. By being able to receive real time geographical

information and scan reports regarding the location of hotspots and fire perimeters, management has been able to make more informed plans, direct and utilize mop up ground crews more effectively, free up resources and equipment sooner, and minimize the chances of holdover fires occurring. With advancement in computer technologies and the use of infrared equipment, fire suppression can be more effective. Even though I am not surveying boundaries with a jet pack like I used to dream of, flying in a jet ranger helicopter is not a bad second.

The art of the spoken word – Shane Koyczan to perform

nternationally recognized author and spoken word artist Shane Koyczan has emerged as a creator of poetry that dares to belong to the people and speak directly to them in their own voice. In 2013, he collaborated with animators to make the anti-bullying viral video “To This Day” which has had over 13 million views, and he performed a customized version “For the Bullied and the Beautiful” to acclaim at the 2013 International TED Conference in Long Beach, California. Koyczan shapes his words and delivers in multi mediums from authored, video, spoken word, operatic, and musically performed. Recorded with Cayne McKenzie (We Are The City) and Hannah Epperson and mixed by Aidan Knight, Silence Is A Song I Know All The Words To is another chapter in the continuing story of the renowned spoken word artist, poet and author Shane Koyczan. The acclaimed new release is available now along with the companion piece graphic novel of the same name. After a sold out coast to coast Canadian tour in the spring, Koyczan will be back on the road again for a set of very special performances though his home province of British Columbia including engagements in Duncan, Campbell River, Saltspring Island, Mission, Kelowna and Revelstoke. Prior to Koyczan’s spring tour he wrapped up dates with the David Suzuki Foundation’s

Blue Dot Tour that also took him from coast to coast and saw him share the stage with a number of performers including David Suzuki, Neil Young, Feist, Margaret Atwood, Raine Maida, Chantal Kreviazuk, Joel Plaskett, Robert Bateman, Stephen Lewis, Danny Michel, Jeremy Fisher, Whitehorse, Jenn Grant and more. Koyczan wrote the poem “Shoulders” specifically for the tour. “When I first heard Shane perform “Shoulders” it brought tears to my eyes,” said David Suzuki. “Poetry, like music, connects people in a powerful way and Shane lifted entire audiences to their feet with his incredible words. We are so grateful that he’s a part of the Blue Dot movement.” In the fall of 2014, Koyczan’s much lauded novel Stickboy was the subject of both an art

Short Term Exchange Program—Mary and Avery Back on August 4th, four young ladies visited the club as part of the Short Term Exchange Program, two from Campbell River and two from Italy. On Tuesday, two of them returned to make a presenta on on their month in Italy. As Bruce explains, “(the STEP) offers a wonderful opportunity for students, who may not be able to commit to the long term program, to make friends, meet families and gain a deeper

understanding of another culture”. The presentation on from the two Timberline students made clear that a lot was crammed into their month abroad. Each was paired up with a counterpart in Italy, Mary with Zoe in Carpi near Milan and Avery with Bianca in Pordenone near Venice. As the slideshow demonstrated, there were a lot of churches, castles, galleries and street

performers in their travels. Some strange food as well; Avery talked about trying ‘Cuddlefish Pasta’ which made her mouth turn black. In August, Zoe and Bianca travelled to Vancouver Island and were treated to outdoor experiences. Avery thanked the club on their behalf for what she called, “this amazing opportunity”.

Brad McLoughlin and Jennifer Wade

Brad McLoughlin and Jen Wade came to Rotary to discuss what they have been up to with regards to creating community supports in Nepal. During a trip through Nepal, a discussion with a Sherpa hired to help Jen’s mom with her backpack led to a life changing commitment to assisting the people of Nepal with many of the basic necessities we often take for granted here in Canada.

The long trail roads that involve hiking for days, the lack of water catchments to monsoon waters PROUD ROTARIANS preserve for crops, the lack of basic educational necessities…all inspired Brad and Jen to work with the community partners to identify where the greatest needs were, and provide items desperately wanted by the villagers so that they Dave Hamilton and Maria Kirley of the Campbell River Mirror are proud members of Rotary could become more efficient and self-sustaining.

AMPBELLTON Neighbourhood AssociAtioN

We’ve got what you need!

CAMPBELLTON

Changes coming quickly for Campbellton By John Twigg, Secretary, Campbellton Neighbourhood Association Changes for the better are coming more quickly now for the historic Campbellton area of Campbell River. Though the old original part of the city was neglected for many decades and allowed to become run down, efforts in recent years by members of the Campbellton Neighbourhood Association and other community activists have persuaded the city government and other parties such as B.C. Hydro and the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure to make increasingly substantial investments in urban renewal, beautification and modernization in the area. Last year and earlier this year the city installed a set of traffic and pedestrian lights at the busy intersection of Petersen and 14th, they constructed new sidewalks in the residential area of Campbellton, they facilitated the opening of a community garden near 15th and Petersen, and recently they added pedestrian crossing lights at Maple Street and Highway 19A - but those have proven to be just the beginning of even more extensive improvements to come. Petersen widened That is certainly evident in the roadway improvements now underway by the City on Petersen Road hill, a notoriously narrow and dangerous stretch for vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists - and a problem that the CNA had been lobbying Council and staff on for years to get fixed. The work includes drainage improvements

on the west side of the road, rebuilding the roadway (i.e. new pavement) and widening the road to enable the addition of a wide walkway and the installation of a concrete curb to separate the driving lanes from the new pedestrian corridor - all of which will be greatly welcomed by many users. Street lights next Meanwhile the CNA recently learned that next up will be the replacement or installation of new streetlights in Campbellton by B.C. Hydro in consultation with city staff, which follows an article in this space on July 22 by CNA chair Brian Shaw which reported on a study for the CNA of the area's lighting deficiencies by a retired employee of Hydro. The study found that many of the existing streetlights were outmoded (i.e. arms too short and lights too dim) and that there are dozens of locations completely lacking lights, which problems apparently resonated enough with Hydro officials to cause them to quickly decide to install 22 new lights that will be leased by the city, though the actual installations may take some time to arrange. And more street lights could come next year from the city, depending on what council decides to do with staff recommendations in budget deliberations this fall for next year's capital projects. CNA wins award Meanwhile the Campbellton Neighbourhood Association won an environmental stewardship award from the City at the recent Haig-Brown Festival in recognition of the CNA's role in developing the new Campbellton Community Garden, which is pesticide-free, a model for urban

agriculture and a step forward for the city's official food strategy. The new garden was built entirely by volunteers using materials donated or provided at discount prices, and though it started a bit late in the season it still was planted in time to produce good crops. But the produce has proven to be only one of many benefits from the garden, with others including improved relations among residents, and the project - which has room to add 24 more plots next year - has helped the CNA too by demonstrating to residents and businesses in the area that the CNA can get good things done. And as a fund-raising activity CNA volunteers also handled the food and beverage concession for the awards event at the Haig-Brown house, which is located in Campbellton. Garden party Oct. 9 A celebration of the community garden's success will be held Friday October 9 from 4 to 7 p.m. in the garden (near Petersen and 15th) with a barbecue and potluck free for everyone to attend. The event also will feature recognition of sponsors and donors, and a demonstration of winter gardening. Also watch for public information meetings soon on a report being done for the city and CNA on improving public access to the Campbell River's shores. The CNA's annual general meeting is being arranged for mid-January; watch for further details. For feedback or further information contact CNA chair Brian Shaw at 287-8807 or brianthepiper@gmail.com.

ASAP GEOMATIX ASAP Geomatix started as a sister company to ASAP Avionics in Campbell River. We realized the potential to develop leading aerial imagery and mapping not only in Campbell River but across Canada. Since our startup in 2012, it’s been a tough road of discovering customer needs and technology development. We’ve travelled across BC and Alberta working for major oil and utility companies such as Kinder Morgan, Husky and TransAlta. We’ve also aimed to promote good causes. ASAP Geomatix is the first geomatics company to research tsunami debris mapping from the air. We’ve worked with living oceans and ecofish consultants.

NEW BUSINESS OF THE YEAR ( UNDER 3 YEARS )

Stagecoach Media Inc.

SHE WORKS SHE PL AYS I have been driving commercially for the past decade. I started by running a snow plow for highways, spent time hauling fish up and down the island, ran the Mt. Washington ski busses, but my home in the trades was at Island Ready Mix where I drove concrete trucks for almost 8 years. I was always frustrated with not being able to find women’s work wear, and when an ongoing injury put me at a crossroads in life, I decided to take the challenge of finding women’s work wear into my own hands. Research and connections with other women taught me I was not alone in my struggle. I designed The Chick Truck, and my husband, Doug Rippingale, did the construction work from my graph paper. The truck/shop is packed with women’s high-viz, boots, coveralls, gloves and assorted work wear. I have a Kenworth, and I now haul the 32 foot semi-trailer to communities all over the province helping women working in industry and trades get the work wear they need, but that is so hard to find. It is more than my business, it is my destiny. I love truck driving and I am passionate about women in trades.

It was a tie! SIGNATURE OIL AND VINEGAR Signature Oil and Vinegar is an on tap Tasting Bar featuring fresh, organic extra virgin olive oil and barrel aged Italian balsamic vinegars. The olives are harvested slightly under ripe when the anti-oxidant count is the highest. The fruit is cold pressed at 69 degrees Fahrenheit within four hours of being picked. All of the fused and infused oils are fresh twice a year, as the harvest changes from Northern to Southern hemisphere.

The oils are independently analyzed and chemistry is posted. Customers at Tyee Plaza can be confident in the quality of what they are buying. The white and dark balsamic vinegars come from Modena, Italy, and are barrel aged 12 to 18 years. The oils and vinegars at Signature make amazing salad dressings, pasta sauces, bread dippers, and anything you can imagine for grilling, broiling, or sautéing vegetables, meat, chicken, game meat, fish, or shellfish. The store also carries truffle, almond, walnut and sesame oil, as well as a wonderful selection of gourmet products from around the world. Everything in the store is available to taste before purchase, and prices start at $5. This is food the way it was 100 years ago, the way it is meant to be – fresh, pure, and simple.

JENNIFER LESTRANGE – CR ANIMAL PARTIES CR Animal Parties offers live, educational reptile shows for birthdays, schools and events. We take in sick and unwanted reptiles, amphibian and invertebrates, rehabilitate and treat them and then bring them on location to educate the public on various topics including biology, ecology, and pet care. I began the company when I noticed an abundance of unwanted reptiles in classified ads and on social media, they were sick and not cared for properly, some were being dropped on my doorstep without notice. At that point I moved away from breeding for the pet industry and turned to education and rescues. Our shows offer the public a unique, hands-on edu-taining experience that leaves them talking about it for years to come. They get up close and personal with these exotic animals while learning to respect living things and their care requirements in captivity. Although birthday parties for children seem to be our primary seller, we have been a repeat guest at adult care facilities and local events as well.

Thanks so much Campbell River! We’re honoured to receive the Excellence in Workforce Development Award.

Warning: there will be no pictures of caribou on your gas pumps, for now could stick a label on a gas pump the next time they fill up, rather than all gas stations being legislated to do so. “Here’s an idea, why not just give us these labels with the sticky on the back and we can peel it off and if a director so wishes, they can stick it on the gas pump the next time we go and there, it’s done and we participated,” Cornfield said. “Because if it’s mandated as a law to do, there’s going to be a cost associated and it will be an inflated cost passed on to the retailer. Area A Director Gerald Whalley, meanwhile, said he disagrees that the labels are necessary. “I disagree with your basic premise,” Whalley said. “There are many scientists who say that carbon emission is not the main cause, that there are other causes. So I don’t support the province-wide advertisement on fossil fuels. I don’t think it’s going to change the planet.” Hulse disagreed with Whalley, citing a recently leaked email written by an ExxonMobil climate expert in 1981. “It says that they indeed knew about cli-

The Strathcona Regional District is not keen on putting climate change warning labels on the region’s gas pumps. Directors recently listened to a presentation from Matt Hulse who has been travelling the province representing the group Our Horizon. Hulse, and Our Horizon, are advocating for implementation of the labels on every gas pump across B.C. The labels, which are mounted on a special pump handle, depict a caribou and baby caribou walking across a frozen tundra with the words: ‘Warning. Use of this fuel product contributes to climate change which may put up to 30% of species at a likely risk of extinction.’ Hulse said the labels are a way to educate people that burning fossil fuels has a negative impact on the environment. “Our labels will introduce feedback at the very moment people are pumping gas, linking cause and effect,” Hulse said at last week’s Wednesday regional district meeting. “We’re trying to put responsibility in the palm of every day fossil fuel burners, linking them to the problem itself.” Hulse added that the labels are supposed to work like the graphic warnings on cigarette packages. “Once people realized the increased cost to taxpayers because of the burden on our health care system, people became more amenable to higher taxes on cigarettes and no smoking zones,” Hulse said. Similar to tobacco products, Hulse added that he would be “quite on board” with higher taxes on gasoline. “If gas prices go up, the better. It’s the only way we’re going to make peo-

I can’t get from Sayward to here (Campbell River) unless I drive.” Campbell River Director Charlie Cornfield suggested directors, if they felt so inclined,

Hulse had requested the board write a letter to Premier Christy Clark urging implementation of the labels. The City of Campbell River, meanwhile, was in receipt of a letter from Hulse requesting he be allowed to make a presentation to city council at its Sept. 14 meeting. Hulse, however, was not on the agenda as a presenter at that meeting and council simply received the letter, taking no further action. North Vancouver is the only municipality to go ahead with the labels.

Prospective purchasers are urged to inspect the properties and make all necessary inquiries to municipal and other government departments, and in the case of strata lots, to the strata corporation to determine the existence of any bylaws, restrictions, charges or other conditions which may affect the value or suitability of the property. The purchase of a tax sale property is subject to tax under the Property Transfer Tax Act on the fair market value of the property.

The new Trades Exploration Program introduces students to not only carpentry, but also electrical, automotive and plumbing. The ACE-IT program, which has provided students the opportunity to attend trades training classes while in high school, has been offered to Campbell River high school students since 2007 through the generosity and support of Seymour Pacific Developments. The well-known development company is continuing to support the Trades Exploration Program by continuously donating lumber and building materials, as well as conducting various entry-level certification courses to students

such as Levell First Aid, WHMIS, Fall Protection, Skid Steer training, and Fork Lift operation. “This is an incredible opportunity for kids to get hands-on training while they’re still in high school,” says Frazer Smith, who instructs Technology Education at Carihi Secondary. “Broadening our focus to include industry subtrades has given students opportunities to try something out before committing to it on a post-secondary level.” Trevor Enns, who graduated from Carihi last year has started his apprenticeship training in Interior Systems Mechanics at North Island C ollege-an opportunity made possible by his involvement in the program. “Trevor is a shining example of what students can accomplish with this program, and we’re excited to see where this training takes

him,” Smith says. Students enrolled in ACE-IT pay no tuition fees, receive course credits towards their high school graduation, and credit for the first level of the technical training in an Industry Training Authority program. Seymour Pacific and the Mailman family are well known in Campbell River for their charitable involvement. Other notable gives have included the Life Skills House at Timberline Secondary School, donation of the MRI machine to the new Campbell River Hospital, sponsorship to the new CR Hospice House, involvement in the building of the Discovery Passage Aquarium, construction of the Campbell River Lacrosse box, as well as regular donations of time, money, and resources to a long list of local youth programs and charitable organizations.

OSTOPCHUK

Jim was born on September 5, 1936 in Windsor, Ontario. He was a superb millwright, working his trade in Terrace Bay, Duncan, Prince Rupert and Campbell River, then a successful entrepreneur. During his long retirement, he enjoyed the outdoors, his dogs, wildlife and hunting. He was a car enthusiast and active member of the North Island Vintage Car Club as well as a Lifelong Freemason of Tsimpsean Lodge No. 58 Prince Rupert, B.C. Never one to shy away from an opinion, he could always be counted on for advice and a good story. A devoted family man and friend, Jim was a big man with an even bigger heart and will be sadly missed by all.

Arlene Jane Massender

Jodi Ryan Sacht

1927

We are sad to announce that Arlene passed away peacefully in Campbell River, B.C on September 11, 2015 with her family at her side. Arlene, the youngest daughter of the late Bert and Gladys (Lenover) Nicholls, was born and raised in Chatham, Ontario and moved to Campbell River in 2004. She is predeceased by her loving husband James Massender, sisters Doris Grainger, Gertrude Torra and brother Donald Nicholls. Arlene will be dearly missed by her 4 children, Kathy, Vicky, Becky and Danny, 8 grandchildren, 15 great-grandchildren, 2 great-great-grandchildren, several nieces and nephews and friends. Loved by many and missed by all. Her memory will live on in all our hearts. Thank you to all the kind and caring staff at New Horizons Community of Care for the love and support shown towards Arlene. We would especially like to thank Dr. Berg and everyone in the SCU unit for their amazing care.

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 Sept 6th, 2015 with family and friends by her side. Carol was born in Kelowna, BC on Dec 10th, 1946, the second of five children to Dave and Lil Hewer and it is from her parents that she learned that love and kindness are all that matters. Her childhood was spent between Kelowna and Prince Rupert, where she had many fond memories of picnics, holiday celebrations, and Sunday dinners. After university Carol married Charlie Cuzzocrea and moved to Campbell River in 1969 where they raised their two children. 26 years ago Carol became a realtor and formed a business partnership with her dear friend Toni Smith. The duo became well known for their professional and considerate approach to their clients and peers, including many who have become friends. Over the years and countless achievements together, Carol and Toniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friendship remained a reflection of their loyalty and class. Carol was an amazing mother, nanny, and friend to many. An avid bridge player, she will be missed for her thoughtfulness, keen wit, sense of style, and strength of character. She spent more time thinking of others than herself, and if you were invited to her home you were sure of something delicious to eat, her undivided attention, and lots of laughs. 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 (Jenn) and daughter Stacy (Greg), grandchildren Seth and Rocco, brothers Gary (Sue), David (Janet), Joe (Karla), sister Meldy (Ken) and numerous nieces and nephews. 4 no trump. A Celebration of Life was on Saturday, September 19th, 2015 at 1pm in the Campbell River Baptist Church.

The council’s all-candidates meeting will be held on Sept. 30 from 7-9:30 p.m. (doors open at 6:30 p.m.) at the Baptist Church Auditorium 260 S.

At the all-candidates meeting, after introducing themselves and presenting issues that are important to them and their parties, candidates will be asked to briefly respond to questions from the Council of Canadians about these four issues. “We will then be asking people coming to the meeting to submit written questions on these four or other issues and our moderator will draw questions from each

Before and after the meeting, people will have an opportunity to meet with the candidates at their political parties’ tables set up in the foyer. Currently, candidates confirmed to be participating in the all-candidates meeting are Brenda Sayers (Green Party); Peter Schwarzhoff (Liberal Party), and Rachel Blaney (New Democratic Party). “We hope that everyone encourages as many people as possible to get out and vote in this election and we hope that our All-Candidates Meeting will be informative in helping people to make their decision who to vote for,” Hagensen said.

Killer whales will be the subject of the first Discovery Passage Aquarium fall speaker series.

Replacing fear of killer whales with knowledge

esearcher Jackie Hildering will de-mystify killer whales this Friday when the Discovery Passage Aquarium launches its Fall 2105 season Public Science Speaker Series. Join them this Friday night, Sept. 25, at the Maritime Heritage Centre to enjoy a presentation by Hildering a.k.a., The Marine Detective, on what is known about offshore killer whales/ orca. More broadly, she will discuss lessons learned from killer whales when knowledge replaces fear and misunderstanding.

Hildering’s presentation will also feature the skeleton of offshore killer whale “O120”, star of the ‘Build-a-Whale’ programming presently offered by the Aquarium. Entry to this presentation is by donation and the presentation starts at 7 p.m. Hildering is a teacher; underwater photographer; and humpback whale researcher and education director with the Marine Education and Research Society. Recent on-camera experience including being featured on

Animal Planet’s Wild Obsession series and in the BBC production New threat to Canada’s Pacific humpback whales? The Build-a-Whale display is sponsored by Stubbs Island Whale Watching and Discovery Marine Safaris. Be sure to add entries into your calendar for upcoming talks by quality researchers and presenters: Jane Watson on Sea Otters Oct. 29, and Dick Beamish on the Strait of Georgia, Nov. 12.
