Driver killed, passenger airlifted
A Jeep SUV is pulled out of the ditch after a collision with a flatbed truck Monday that killed the driver and required the passenger to airlifted to hospital.
One man is dead and another was airlifted to hospital after their vehicle collided with a flatbed truck north of Campbell River Monday. Highway 19 at Roberts Lake was closed for hours in both directions as the accident scene was examined and then cleared of debris. The engine of the victims’ vehicle, a Jeep SUV, came to rest in the middle of the highway. Witnesses told CTV the Jeep was headed southbound around 12:56 p.m. when it was reported to have attempted to pass another vehicle and collided with the flatbed truck. The flatbed driver and a passenger were uninjured. North Vancouver Island Traffic Services, with the assistance of Campbell River RCMP members and the Island District Analyst/ Reconstructionist conducted the investigation of the scene, according to a North Vancouver Island Traffic Services press release.

BC Hydro will turn on the taps tomorrow to provide more water for spawning salmon.

BC Hydro may then drop the river flow down to about 80 m3/s later in October to balance out upstream reservoirs and the overall system. This October flow regime has been worked out in coordination with Fisheries and Oceans Canada and in consideration of the Campbell River system’s water use plan. As we move into the fall, BC Hydro will begin to shift our attention to potential flood risk management operations.”

Hydro to open the floodgates for spawning salmon tomorrow, BC Hydro will increase the downstream flows from 30 cubic metres per second (m3/s) to about 90 m3/s at a rate of about 10 m3/s per hour. “This will be a significant increase in river flow so the public is advised to be cautious along the river from Oct. 1 onward,” Watson said. The 2014/2015 water supply year for BC Hydro is just about to end, and it was a year of extremely wet
and then extremely dry conditions. The water supply year goes from October to September. Up to the beginning of April, it was the wettest year in BC Hydro’s records. Then it was the driest May to August on record. Overall, this year was the 13th wettest on record – with the first six months the reason why. “BC Hydro has strived to conserve water since April when Nature’s water tap feeding into the reser-
voir became a trickle,” Watson said. “Now with the return of the chinook, we will increase the Campbell River flow to 90 m3/s for about two to three weeks to allow them to spawn in key river areas. The significant flow increase will provide deeper water and better spawning conditions for chinook. “Given the extended and ongoing dry conditions, although recent rain has helped to a limited degree,

Largest Trout of the Day – 2.4lbs
On Saturday, September 19th, 25 anglers fished through the wind and rain in the 4th Annual Family Fun Fishing Derby held at Roberts Lake Resort. Participants came from Campbell River, Courtenay Deep Bay, Merville and Sayward. The weather was ideal for fishing in the afternoon and the trout were biting. The second fish of the day was brought in by Bryce with Don Daniels Turko and his catch would be the overall winner in the heaviest trout of the day. His trout of 2.4 pounds won him a stay at Roberts Lake Resort along with breakfast a hat and a t-shirt.

John Aenadie who won the derby 2 years ago came in second this year with a trout weighing 1.1 pounds. A number of anglers were fishing in 90 to 100 foot depths which seemed to bring success. Some fished from shore and there were about 3 belly boats scattered around the lake. Water temperature for the day was 62 degrees and most catches were reported late in the day. Blair McLean donated a trophy that will bear the name of each year’s winner that will be hung at the Roberts Lake Resort restaurant.

Greyhound Canada cuts its Campbell River run Kristen Douglas CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Greyhound Canada will no longer be providing bus service to and from Campbell River. A transportation company on the West Coast, however, will pick up the slack as Greyhound eliminates all bus service north of Nanaimo as of tomorrow. Greyhound will discontinue its Nanaimo to Campbell River route as well as service between Campbell River and Port Hardy after receiving approval from the Passenger Transportation Board on Sept. 15 of this year to eliminate the service. The cuts come after Greyhound cited a Canada-wide loss of $12.5 million in its 2013/14 fiscal year and projected a loss of $12.8 million on its passenger operations this year. Greyhound attributed those losses to a number of factors, including higher costs for fuel and maintenance, reduced ridership and competition from other inter-city bus operations.
In its application to eliminate the North Island bus ser vice, Greyhound noted that in 2013/14 the average passenger load on the Campbell River to Nanaimo route was 11 riders, compared to 15 in 2011/12 while on the Nanaimo to Campbell River run, average ridership was at 12 passengers, down from 14 in 2011/12. Greyhound further justified its move to eliminate the service in acknowledging that another carrier has come forward to pick up the slack. Tofino Bus Lines will operate a similar service on the routes Greyhound is abandoning. Service from Campbell River northbound will be offered at 2 p.m. daily while southbound, busses will leave Campbell River at 7:45 a.m., 11:45 a.m. and 1:45 p.m. daily. Greyhound said those passengers who have already booked tickets will be able to redeem them for use with Tofino Bus instead. “Passengers who’ve purchased tickets in
advance will not be impacted by the change in carrier services and can either refund their tickets in full or redeem them for travel on the schedule with Tofino Bus,” according to a release. This is not the first time Greyhound has targeted the North Island for cost savings. The company applied to and was g iven approval from the B.C. Passenger Board in 2013 to reduce service on 15 of its routes, including the Nanaimo to Campbell River run, after citing a loss of $14.1 million on its passenger operations in B.C. in Greyhound’s 2011/12 fiscal year. Tofino Bus, on the other hand, is willing to give it a go. “All Island Express routes will offer at least the same level of service to your community as your are now getting,” wrote Dylan Green, founder and president of Tofino Bus, in a letter to city council in June.

City sets ‘ambitious’ target to increase tree cover in community KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Rose and Leonard Crawford
www.CampbellRiverMirror.com www.CampbellRiverMirror.com
The city is working towards what it considers an “ambitious” target to increase the amount of trees within the city limits. That goal is one of the main sticking points within the city’s new Urban Forest Management Plan (UFMP)
which has been in development since 2011. City Planner Chris Osborne said the plan, which has a 20-year time frame, highlights the importance of retaining tree canopy coverage. “The UFMP seeks to increase the percentage of tree cover within Campbell River from its current level of 33 per cent, plus or minus two
per cent, to 40 per cent (the Pacific Northwest bench march) by 2035,” Osborne said in a report to city council. “This is an ambitious target since ongoing development generally serves to decrease, rather than increase, tree cover as sites are cleared.” Osborne said having tree canopy cover over the city’s urban areas has

many benefits including providing shade, habitat for birds and insects, increasing property values on tree-lined streets, enhancing the ambience downtown and in residential neighbourhoods, and absorbing pollution. Tree cover also slows stormwater runoff, absorbs carbon and provides for a robust habitat. But Osborne said if the city keeps on with the status quo, tree cover within the city’s urban areas is expected to decrease. “With no interventions as identified within the UFMP, the ‘do-nothing’ scenario predicts that tree cover will diminish to 20 per cent by 2035,” Osborne said. “This assessment is based on the amount of undeveloped, canopied land potentially available for development over this period.” The city has come up with 53 different actions within the urban forest plan to help increase tree cover. They range from developing a tree care program to managing the urban forest to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to engaging and partnering with the community to build ownership of the urban forest.
To help finance the plan, staff have come up with four different options – a parcel tax, contributions towards a ‘green fund’, an adopt a tree program, and grants. Osborne said funding is expected to be addressed in a final report that will be reviewed by the city’s Advisory Planning and Environment Commission as well as the Community Services Recreation and Culture Commission. Diamond Head Consulting, which has been hired by the city to develop the urban forest plan, is expected to come back to city council with a final report this fall. The city began preparation of the plan in 2011 after it successfully applied for funding to the Real Estate Foundation in 2010. Development of the plan included public consultation through two open houses last fall as well as an online survey with input from approximately 200 members of the public. The city also partnered with Greenways Land Trust on the first phase of plan development and has continued to engage with Greenways throughout the process.

When a residential school survivor got his chance to question the election candidates at a First Nations forum last week, he wanted to know one thing – would any of them be willing to acknowledge residential schools as genocide? James Quatell, who was taken at the age of 10 from his family in Campbell River to a residential school in Alert Bay, said he hopes and prays the four federal candidates take the time to read through the entire, 360plus page Truth and Reconciliation Report which details stories from residential school survivors and describes the abuse and neglect the children suffered from. “All you’ve looked at is the cover, go inside the book and find out what it really says,” Quatell said. “Where does reconciliation start? Not with us, it starts on the other side, the other side of the table. There’s so much, really so much. I hope you’ll take more thought to really speaking about this Holocaust, this whole thing, this genocide that happened to those thousands of children.” Peter Schwarzhoff, who is running locally for the Liberal Party, was the first to respond to Quatell during the all-candidates forum, hosted by the Nuu-chahnulth Tribal Council and the Wei Wai Kum First Nation Sept. 22 at the Thunderbird Hall. Schwarzhoff admitted Quatell was right and the candidates only had the 94 recommendations coming out of the Truth and Reconciliation report. Schwarzhoff said the only way to move forward and begin the healing process is for the government to accept what happened to thousands of innocent First Nations children as truth. “It starts by acknowledgment, it starts by trust. It’s easy for us to say we didn’t know it’s actually true (but) now we know and it can’t be unknown,” Schwarzhoff said. “These are realities, these things happened. We did try to beat the Indian out of the child and look what it’s done

to us.” One of the recom-
mendations is to teach the history of residen-
tial schools in the public school system. Provinces are in the process of developing a curriculum and Schwarzhoff said the Liberal Party intends to consult First Nations and have those who actually lived it develop the education. Laura Smith of the C ons er vative Par ty admitted she also had not read the entire Truth and R e conci li at ion report but said she read the recommendations coming out of the commission that travelled the country for six years listening to testimony from roughly 7,000 witnesses. “I have read the recommendations and they’re very comprehensive. Some of them I think are no-brainers, (such as) teaching the truth.

We’re seeing the effects of our post-literate, feelings-based education system and media on the federal election. Candidate bozo eruptions are becoming more frequent. Most recently a Liberal candidate on Vancouver Island admitted she has long believed that hijacked jetliners could not have destroyed the World Trade Centre on 9-11, that it was all “a lie.” That was “my truth,” she said, in the lingo of the feelings-first, inner-child crowd. Now she’s “moved on” to a slightly different fact-free conclusion, that we’ll just never know how those 3,000 people were murdered. And she wants to go to Ottawa and help run this country. Feelings-based beliefs were on display again at last week’s Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Vancouver, where bozo eruptions by local politicians come in bunches. This year’s main outbreak was an emotional demand that the B.C. government enact a provincial bill of rights. This magic municipal Magna Carta “recognizes the right of every

resident to live in a healthy environment, including the right to clean air, clean water and vibrant ecosystems.” Alert taxpayers may wonder, how many law yers would it take to define “vibrant”? More on that in a moment. L o c a l councils across B.C. and around the c ou nt r y h av e been pitched this scheme by the D av id Suzu k i Foundation, which calls it the Blue Dot campaign. In short, it’s part of the bigger plan to save the planet by crushing capitalism, currently being pushed by the Pope, the UN and others. Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps was one of the most passionate backers. She quoted the plea presented to her council by an 11-year-old recruited by the Blue Dot team. There are many such children, terrified by indoctrination about the imminent

destruction of Earth and all its cuddly creatures that has bombarded them since they learned to speak. They are found in the wealthiest countries in human B.C. histor y, those enjoying health, comfort and opportunity not imagined by anyone 100 years ago. In the vast, airconditioned hall of the Vancouver Convention Centre, there were several attempts at adult supervision. Coquitlam Coun. Terry O’Neill noted that unlike intrinsic rights articulated in Canada’s charter, freedom of assembly and so forth, this is an attempt to invent new rights that are actually demands for “others to do something for you.” Indeed, if we’re going to have government by 11-year-olds, we might as well throw in a right to free ice cream.

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 various parties during the election would make various claims on the best approach. But this is beyond politics. The publication of the photo that went around the world – that of threeyear-old Syrian refugee Alan Kurdi – is ample evidence of that. 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 supersede politics in this We say: But for matter but other questions arise of Canadians every trendy to respond. hashtag, there are wanting While dramatic and serious events like the local issues Syrian crisis are few and far between, there is no lack of other events seeking our charitable 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 profile, 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. – Black Press

how this new “vision” would protect us from things like Volkswagen fiddling its diesel fuel emission results. The resolution calls for “access to justice when environmental rights are infringed,” which sounds like code for some sort of costly new legal aid program to pursue every individual grievance. Meanwhile in the real world, class action lawsuits are being prepared to gain compensation for lost resale value of millions of cars. This is what happens in fortunate places like Canada that already have access to justice. O’Neill read off a long list of existing B.C. legislation that protects water, air, wildlife, food, public health and so on. Helps replied that this bill of rights would “consolidate” all that. One more layer of bureaucracy, that’s the Victoria spirit. Williams Lake Mayor Walt Cobb pleaded with rural delegates to reject this “David Suzuki propaganda” that is designed to put more roadblocks in the way of the very resource industries that provide our modern comforts.

embraced the truth and we’re willing to move forward on that but obviously some of the recommendations have some very far reaching policy implications and would take a long time to implement and even come to a common understanding of what they mean. “I agree with you, I think we need to move forward and reconciliation is a key part of that.” The Green Party’s Brenda Sayers, a member of the Hupacasath First Nation, said she considers herself a survivor of residential schools. “My mother was placed in a residential school when she was threeyears-old because her father, my grandfather, was killed at an early age and left my grandmother having to go out to work picking strawberries to sustain the family,” Sayers said. “I consider myself a survivor of residential school because my mother wasn’t given

any parenting skills to bring us up.” Sayers said she could understand Quatell’s passion and frustration and said if elected, she will see to it that the 94 recommendations come to light. She said she believes the process of reconciliation is already starting to gain momentum across the country. “More and more people are becoming aware of our First Nations values, who we are, through movements like Idle No More, the exhibition of Walking With Our Sisters, those kind of things are bringing the truth to people and people need to know the truth in order for us to reconcile,” Sayers said. The NDP’s Rachel
Blaney said it’s important to bring non-Aboriginal and Aboriginal people together in order to get that dialogue going. She said that during a workshop in Campbell River a few years ago that brought both of those groups together, a survey revealed how little knowledge people had of residential schools. “The reality is, we need to read that book, politicians need to understand that and all of Canada needs to understand that history,” Blaney said. “It’s time for us to move forward but we can only move forward if we’re all carrying the truth.” To that end, Blaney said the NDP is promising within 100 days of the Oct. 19 election to set up an inquiry into all
the murdered and missing indigenous women – a process which is included in the 94 recommendations laid out in the Truth and Reconciliation report. Schwarzhoff said such an inquiry is also a high priority for the Liberal Party while Sayers said the Green Party is also asking for a full inquiry into the murdered and missing women. She added the party also wants “to implement the findings of the truth and reconciliation, anything that is federally related, we want to implement them.” QUESTIONS?...If you have a question you would like the candidates to address at the upcoming All Candidates Meeting, submit them to editor@campbellrivermirror.com A selection will be put before the candidates at the forum on Thursday, Oct. 8 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Tidemark Theatre.

CAMPBELLTON
Habitat has a variety of meanings ReStore open house Monday
By John Twigg, Secretary, Campbellton Neighbourhood Association
One of the features of our Communications Age is the development of buzz words, and one of those we'll be hearing more about this week is "habitat". That's because the first Monday in October is a worldwide celebration designated by the United Nations in 1986 as "World Habitat Day". So what does "habitat" mean? Well actually a fairly wide range of things, most of which happen to apply especially to the Campbellton area of Campbell River! According to Wikipedia [now there's a buzzword eh!] the purpose of the day is to "reflect on the state of our cities and towns and the basic human right to adequate shelter. It also aims to remind the world of its collective responsibility for the habitat of future generations." So according to the authorities Habitat Day is mainly about human housing, which certainly applies to Campbell River with its homelessness issues in the news every winter, but it also applies to Campbellton's stock of aging housing and many vacant-lot opportunities for urban renewal and social housing projects. Perhaps that's also part of why Campbellton also is home to the local Habitat for Humanity group's ReStore at 1725 Willow Store, where they've been for about two years. It sells reusable household goods and uses the proceeds to help finance the construction of housing for low-income families as a way to advance the group's faith-based fight against poverty. (A more extensive profile appeared in the Mirror Sept. 16, their website is www.habitatnorthisland. com and the local phone is 250-830-1493)
The Campbellton ReStore on Monday (Oct. 5) will be holding an open house from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. to "help raise awareness of the affordable housing crisis here in Campbell River" as Habitat spokesperson Karen Bezaire described it, though Campbell River's homelessness challenges are already lower than in many other B.C. communities, notably Victoria. Habitat's staff and volunteers will be on hand during the open house to answer questions about its programs, which have built 26 homes in North Island since 2004, and on Tuesday (Oct. 7) they'll hold another meeting (at the Community Centre) to begin selecting a sweatequity candidate family to help build and then occupy another new home that next year will be on Daulton Road. So that's all a good thing but really it addresses only a tip of the growing needs for affordable housing as financial and economic pressures seem to squeeze the budgets of more and more people who naturally gravitate to the least-expensive neighbourhoods. But getting back to habitat in general, it also applies to making whole communities or neighbourhoods more liveable with things like safer crosswalks, better lighting and of course the new Campbell Community Garden, which opened in June with 22 seeded plots and hopefully next year will add more plots, depending on donations.
Garden open house Oct. 9 To celebrate the garden's success the CNA on Friday (Oct. 9) will be hosting a free barbecue and potluck for

the community in the garden from 4 to 7 p.m. (on 15th Avenue near Petersen) which will include recognition of the many sponsors, donors and volunteers who made the first garden possible on short notice - and thereby helped improve the Campbellton social habitat too. The CNA especially would like to hear from people with suggestions for more community garden sites in the area, because there appears to be a demand for them. Contact Brian Shaw at 250-287-8807 or brianthepiper@ gmail.com . But there are other types of habitat that are important too, especially for fish and wildlife and the environment in general as well as for future generations of people. An example of restoring habitat for spawning fish coincidentally is also evident in Campbellton with recent work by volunteers to restore fish access to Kingfisher Creek, near Haig-Brown House, and more such work could follow from an inventory of the shoreline assets and uses of the Campbell River currently underway by B.C. Hydro. That is among numerous local environmental habitat improvements being studied, done and proposed in the Campbellton area now, including a joint study by the CNA and the City on public access to the river front in Campbellton, the future of the Myrt Thomson Trail on Campbell River Indian Band lands, and public access in the whole estuary. So have a happy World Habitat Day for both humans and the man-made and natural environments we all live in, both now and for the future.

Federal candidates debate income splitting for seniors
www.CampbellRiverMirror.com www.CampbellRivermirror.com
Mike Davies
Campbell RiveR miRRoR
The first question the North Island–Powell River federal election candidates faced at last week’s all-candidates meeting at the Campbell River Seniors Centre was on income splitting. “If elected, will your party continue income splitting for seniors?” was the question, which had been supplied to the candidates in advance. “An estimated 4.8 million people in Canada are going to see their standard of living go down upon retirement, and I think that’s of significant concern,” said NDP candidate Rachel Blaney, who was selected to be first to respond to the question. “We’re going to make sure that income splitting is definitely there for seniors.” Blaney then went on to talk about other initiatives her party has planned to address the financial struggles of seniors in our community. “We’re also really interested in making sure that we pull more seniors out of poverty,” she said. “I’ve been shocked by the number of stories I’ve been told around our riding of seniors now in a place where they’re running the risk of homelessness, and I just don’t think that should happen in Canada. So we’ve also committed to increasing the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS), so we can pry about 200,000 seniors out of poverty. I just think it’s our obligation to make sure we’re doing our best for the people who have done their best for us.” Laura Smith of the C ons er vative Par ty began by reminding people that it was her party that originated the policy – and they have no interest in cancelling it. “Obviously, our government is the government that brought in income splitting for
8 Vote North Island-Powell River
seniors, and it’s what we consider to be a very successful initiative. We thought it was so good we’ve expanded it to families,” Smith told the crowd. “It’s one of many initiatives we’ve done to help make life more affordable for seniors,” she said, adding that the Conservatives are also committed to increasing the benefit to single seniors who can’t benefit form income splitting. “What we’re going to do if elected is bring in a new tax initiative that will give a $2,000 benefit to single seniors who can’t benefit from income splitting.” Liberal candidate Peter Schwarzhoff took the opportunity, since the issue was raised, to point out what he thinks is a misunderstanding about the Liberal platform in regards to income splitting and why he thinks that misunderstanding exists. “I think the only reason this is on the agenda is because of an attack ad the Conservatives made against the Liberals, where they point out, correctly, that we are going to be rolling back income splitting for families, and then it goes on to say, ‘I guess income splitting for seniors is next,’” he said. “That’s when all of a sudden I started hearing at doors – and I’ve been at 13,000 doors – ‘I understand you’re cancelling income splitting for seniors.’ Not true. We are absolutely not cancelling pension income splitting for seniors. In fact, we’ve actually made a number of additions to make pensions better.” These additions, he said, include keeping

retirement age at 65 – a roll-back from the proposed increase to 67 the Conservatives are proposing – increasing the GIS and Old Age Security (OAS) by 10 per cent, and implementing a seniors’ cost of living adjustment. “As you know, presently, (the GIS and OAS) are adjusted for cost of living, but seniors have different expenditure patterns than families do, and so it makes sense to us that if the cost of
living for those things you spend your money on is going up faster, we should adjust that appropriate cost-of-living adjustment to the OAS and GIS,” Schwarzhoff said. Green Party candidate Brenda Sayers was last to respond the the question, and was brief but clear in her answer. “We will not be eliminating income splitting for seniors,” Sayers said simply. “However, our plan is to eliminate it for other families, because it doesn’t benefit low income families. That’s all I have to say about that.” Watch for more on the candidates’ views on issues in upcoming editions of the Mirror.

All four North Island– Powell River candidates in the upcoming federal election have voiced their support for expanding benefits for those within our society who take care of aging family members as a fullor part-time ‘job.’ “As we age,” says Conservative Party candidate Laura Smith, “it’s very important that we provide caregivers with the supports that they need. It can be very difficult to carry on with your working life, you know, if you’re in the sandwich generation, looking after kids.” Smith says the Conservatives have made excellent policy decisions in this area, and will continue to do so. “We have introduced the Family Caregivers Tax Credit,” she says.
“We’ve also brought in the Canadian Employers for Caregivers Plan, which is a plan that supports employers who want to help their employees cope with their roles as caregivers as well as their roles as employees. We’ve exp ande d compassionate care benefits, that provides up to six weeks of EI benefits when you need to go look after a loved one, and we’ve also not just expanded the eligibility of that, but we’ve made it available to self-employed people. “So we have identified this as a priority for helping seniors and their families age in place and age with dignity.” Liberal Party candi-

date Peter Schwarzhoff, agrees that the goal is to keep people in their homes as long as possible, but disagrees with how to accomplish that. A Liberal government “will introduce more flexible and accessible employment insurance compassionate care benefit that’s available to any C anadi an who needs to take care of a seriously ill family member.” T h a t f l e x i b i l i t y, Schwarzhoff says, will take the form of covering caregivers who deliver care on weekends or outside of normal work hours, which he says is currently not covered by the Conservatives’ plan, and those who need to deliver that care in shorter, intermittent time periods, rather than for long, continuous stretches. “Everybody’s family circumstance is different, so we want to build some flexibility into that program,” he says. He says the Liberals will support this plan with an additional $190-million per year without increasing EI contributions. Green Party Candidate Brenda Sayers says she, too, understands the struggle families are facing with home care. “When I was looking after my mother, I had flexibility in my job, because I’d negotiated a good contract with my employer where I could leave when I needed to in case there was an emergency,” says Brenda Say-

ers. “Also, through my Nation, we had home care support, so we were very fortunate. But I also understand the difficulties that families face that don’t have such support.” Sayers says the Green Party, “is planning on having a housing plan that would offer affordable, predictable home care support,” adding the party would also create a policy that would allow seniors to have access to the equity in their homes “to support the day to day living expenses of the elderly so they can continue to have care in their homes.” NDP candidate Rachel Blaney says her experience in respite care informs her position. “Several years ago when I was in university, I actually had a summer job in Nanaimo with Respite Care Unlimited, and what we were doing was training volunteers to go into people’s homes and help seniors out,” Blaney says. “A lot of those families were struggling, and I just learned so much that summer about how hard people were working and how silent that struggle could be.” She says the number of seniors is will double in the next 25 years, “so having a strategy just makes sense. Yes, we are going to make sure there are EI benefits for caregivers and we want to make sure it’s flexible and work with families to the best of our ability. “We also know that home care is needed more. We need more people going to homes and providing support there to really relieve some of that pressure, so we’ll be investing money in that.”

Abram elected to UBCM executive “I felt strongly about that and I thought we needed to get back on track. Not to criticize past executives, they did what they had to do, but I thought UBCM had to be brought back to the people it was representing, and that’s us – local government.” Abram said he feels strongly about getting control back from the province. “The provincial government in past years, every program they’ve said is important is about control. Whether it’s campaign financing, our executive members’ compensation, the auditor general for local government – all of those issues are about control over local government,” Abram said. “Why is the provincial government, which is out of complete control, trying to control local government, why are they afraid of us?” Abram is also in the midst of trying to come up with solutions to issues specific to the region. “My first priorities at
egates at the convention, there’s a lot of people you don’t know.” The convention brings together city councillors, regional district directors and other elected officials from across B.C. UBCM is the only province-wide lobby organization for local governments to discuss common issues and advocate various positions to the provincial and federal governments. Abram said sitting on the executive will give him the chance to put forward issues of local concern, and represent local and provincial concerns at the UBCM table and to the province. One of his main goals as a member of the executive is to lessen the province’s influence on UBCM. “As time was going on, I felt like UBCM was getting more and more provincial involvement from the ministry at our forums and more time was getting taken up by provincial government programs,” Abram said.

Strathcona Regional District Director Jim Abram has been elected to the executive of the Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM). Abram was elected director at large last Friday during the UBCM convention held in Vancouver last week. Abram, director for Area C (Quadra Island) and chair of the regional district board, was one of 12 nominees from across B.C. vying for five positions. Abram, who has been a regional district director since 1988, has served on the executive in the past, with his last 10-year stint ending in 2002. In 2000-01 he served as president. “I’m extremely pleased I was able to make a come back,” Abram said. “I did a lot of campaigning and talking to people. There was roughly a changeover of about 30 per cent in directors from the previous election, so a lot of new people. Out of 1,700 del-

I also met with the representative of the premier and with Minister Todd Stone regarding our ferry situation and its effect on all communities on the coast and provincially.” As an executive member for UBCM, Abram will have his work cut out for him. He also sits on three UBCM select committees providing input on BC Ferries, fin-fish aquaculture, and offshore oil and gas. As

It’s never a bad time to look at labour and employment numbers to get a sense of where our society is economically. Shannon Baikie does exactly that every day at the North Island Employment Foundations Society (NIEFS) as its labour market services lead, and she says while we’re looking better than we were, there are always concerns. Right now, Baikie says, the local economy is “pretty mixed.” “We’ve come out of the recession,” Baikie says. “We sort of had a pretty good boom in the last couple of years … and we’re starting to see kind of a turn towards a more balanced economy.” This is due, in large part, to the community’s recognition that we need to diversify economically.
“When you’re talking about resource sectors, you’re always going to have those ups and downs,” Baikie says. “They’re called boom and bust cycles for a reason. “We went through a very hard time when the mill went down, and Timberwest, and through the recession, but out of that has really come a community that’s ready for economic diversification.” Baikie says it seems people are now at least, “willing to have that conversation,” and to look at the types of business infrastructure and supports that exist here to make that happen. “Forty years ago, the mill was the employer and there wasn’t a need for that diversification, but now we see the economic collapse that can happen to a community when you’re so dependent on one employer.”
Balancing act The labour market is like the real-estate market, in that sometimes it’s a “buyer’s market” and sometimes it’s a “seller’s market.” Right now, Baikie says, it’s pretty much right in the middle. “I’m not hearing from employers that they’re having a difficult time trying to fill positions,” she says, “whereas a couple of years ago, even a year and a half ago, employers were pulling their hair out because they couldn’t fill positions. Now, I’d say that’s not as much of an issue. We’re still seeing very active hiring happening on the North Island in terms of forestry, our tourism sector was very strong this summer, as well. It sort of rebounded back.” Has there been a sudden flooding of the job market due to the recent downturn in Alberta, as some suspect?

Sure, Baike says, people are coming back from Alberta in droves, but it’s not affecting the job prospects of others as negatively as one might expect. What Baikie is seeing, primarily, is that the people flooding back from Alberta are those who were entry-level, lowskilled workers – labourers, for example, who don’t have a trade ticket or other certification. “Those are the people who tend to be laid off first,” Baikie said, “whereas those highskilled workers are still working, or were able to connect (in Alberta) with other opportunities because of those skills.” So people are not flooding back from Alberta and immediately displacing huge numbers of current or potential Campbell River employees. Val Meany, executive director of NIEFS, echoes that sentiment, saying because the people returning from Alberta are looking to rejoin the workforce here – and we are engaged, regionally, in completely different kinds of work than they are in Alberta . “It’s more about a skills mismatch,” Meany says. “You always hear about a skills shortage, but it’s not necessarily a shortage of skills, it’s that the skills are mismatched with the opportunities that are available. And that “skills mismatch,” often sees them return to school rather than the workforce. Going forward According to Baikie, the biggest overall challenges that we’re going to have as a community from an employment perspective going forward have actually been our recent large employment opportunities. “The John Hart project and the hospital project are finite projects,” she says. “We don’t know what impact that’s going to have at the end of the day when those projects are complete. Obviously when those projects are complete those (employment) opportunities won’t be there.” She adds, however, that many local companies have an opportunity to showcase their skills and businesses to the world while these projects are ongoing.

Polymer clay sculpting with Nicholas Frenette
Join artist Nicholas Frenette for a fascinating three-part workshop on polymer clay sculpting at the Campbell River Art Gallery this October. The class will run for three Saturdays, Oct. 3, 10 and 17, from 12 to 3 p.m. at the Campbell River Art Gallery studio. Frenette is an artist whose imagination knows no bounds, so students will be inspired to create! This course will explore a variety of techniques for sculpting and molding with polymer clay, from basic methods for making figurines to the introduction to a self-directed project. Frenette is an artist whose work lacks no imagination. His talents encompass painting, drawing, sculpture and body art and take you to places you’ve never dreamed of. Although inspired by classical artists, Frenette has a distinct and defined style. Much of his work incorporates a theatrical component – no surprise, considering many of his works are also inspired by Baroque opera. Now living in Campbell River, Frenette began his formal art training in 2006 when he enrolled in the renowned art school NSCAD University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. He moved to Vancouver to finish his degree at the Emily Carr University of Art and Design, where he graduated in 2011. He has been showing his work since 2006 and has been steadily building a following. His art has been displayed at numerous galleries and is held in many private collections. The three part October workshop costs $90 for Campbell River Art Gallery members and $110 for non-members. Space is limited, so don’t delay in registering. For more information, please contact the CR Art Gallery at 250-287-2261 or email curator@ crartgallery.ca. To learn more about Frenette, visit nicholasfrenette.com

Open Mic for the Food Bank A brand new event for Campbell River promises to be a fun and exciting way to showcase local talent while also supporting the local Food Bank. For the first time ever, the Centre for Spiritual Living is opening their newly renovated premises to all those wishing to perform in a supportive and fun environment. On Friday, Oct. 9, at 7 p.m., all performers – singers, comedians, dancers and dance teams, jugglers, and other creative presentations suitable for an allages audience – are welcome to take the stage. The Centre will provide microphones, electric keyboard and music
stands where needed. When asked about the connection between spiritual community and showcasing local talent, Darlene Bentley, one of the organizers, pointed out, “one of the Centre’s core beliefs is that everyone demonstrates some kind of innate creativity if allowed to express it in a supportive and non-judgemental environment, and this production is an extension of this principle. And besides, it’ll be fun!” Wanting to support an ongoing community need, the entry fee for performers and audience members alike is a donation for the Food Bank. Light refreshments will also be available for sale

Sashay on down to the Big Yellow Merville Hall on Sunday, Oct. 4, for the Fall Fair Variety Show. The show, starting at 6pm, will feature local performers together with Valley icons such as The Lonely Guys, Joey Clarkson, Helen Austin, Fiddlejam, Mary Murphy and Paul Keim. Local historians will also help to keep the audience riveted to their seats while he reveals little known historical tidbits from the dark recesses of Merville’s and Black Creek’s distant past. MC Edwin Grieve will keep the action lively between the multitude of short, rapid fire musical sets as he jokes with the audience and commands his harried helper, Craig Freetoscurry, to scuttle about gathering the many prizes that fairgoers will be winning during the Variety Show’s draws and contests. So far, there are over 30 entertainers signed up to rock your socks off so bring an extra pair if you want to stagger home with warm feet. The Big Yellow Merville Hall is looking good these days, with new washrooms, a beautiful new, accessible main entrance, upgraded kitchen and spacious dance hall. There are also two new historic buildings on the site and these buildings need lots of work so events like this Variety show will help to pay the bills. Tickets are $5 for adults or $10 for a family. For more information contact Craig at 250-339-4249.

Myles Robert Crouse
June 7, 1979 - September 24, 2015
It is with great sadness that we share that Myles Robert Crouse passed away on September 24, 2015 at Victoria General Hospital at the age of 36. He was born on June 7, 1979 in Sechelt, BC, to Robert Barry Crouse and Susan Irene (Butler) Sweeney. Myles spent his early years living in remote island locations. This lifestyle fostered in him a lifelong love of fishing, boating, and being active outdoors. The rest of his childhood was spent in Sointula, where he developed close friendships that remained important to him for the rest of his life. He will always be remembered for his love of a good adventure. From early in life, Myles loved tinkering and building things. He was fortunate to be able to build these interests into a career spent tugboating, booming, and welding. His last years were spent working on the WFP booming grounds in Kelsey Bay. Myles married his love Candace Miller in 2013 in Sayward. He is survived by Candace and their two children, Laurie (7) and Noah (4), his son Josh (9), his parents, his brothers Adam (Sue) Sweeney and Devin (Erin) Sweeney, and his sisters Rena Sweeney (John) and Laurie (Blair) Longhurst. A Celebration of Life will be held at Myles’ home in Sayward at 842 Sayward Road at 4:00pm on October 2, 2015. In lieu of flowers, an account has been set up at gofundme.com to support his young family. Donations can also be mailed to C/O Box 98, Sayward BC, V0P 1R0.

GAME ON! OCTOBER 2ND

MIKE DAVIES/CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Forward Joshua Coblenz gains the zone and tries to get around the outside of an Oceanside Generals defender during the Storm’s 4-1 win Friday night at the Brindy. Coblenz scored one of the Storm’s four goals on the night during a game which also saw numerous players disciplined by the league for a brawl in the third period.
Storming to the top of the standings
It was an important weekend for the Storm. They were looking for a bounce back performance Friday, after being handed their first loss of the season the week before, and on Sunday afternoon they were up against southern rivals, the Victoria Cougars. And bounce back they did. They would capture three out of a possible four points on the weekend. General manager and head
coach Lee Stone knows from experience the Cougars are a tough opponent, especially at home. “It’s always a hard game down at the Arch,” Stone said. “They play a strong game and it certainly looks like they have a little bit more offensive punch than they had last year.” The Cougars have averaged six goals per game this season. The Storm blasted out of the gate strong and before the first 20 minutes were completed they
sported a 3-0 edge, all three goals coming in less than two minutes. Kobe Oishi opened the scoring at 9:22 from Brett Witala and Joe Gage. Eighteen seconds later, Alex Rosolowsky made it 2-0 on an unassisted goal. At 11:12, the familiar combination of Josh Coblenz from Colin Blake and Alex Brewer struck. In the second, Nathan Looysen and the Cougars came out flying scoring three times; Looysen finding the net twice and assisting on Cody Hodges goal. Campbell River captain, Gage Colpron scored from Christian Brandt and Oishi and by period’s end, the 2014-15 VIJHL champions owned a slim 4-3 lead. Victoria would tie it up in the third frame. Two periods of overtime would solve nothing and the top two teams in the VIJHL would have to settle for a tie. On Friday, the Oceanside Generals were at the Brindy and they didn’t look like a team at the bottom of the standings. They came out hard and by the

third period it had turned into a rather nasty affair. The Generals had the edge of play in the first period but by the middle of the second, the Storm had taken over. In the space of six minutes the home team had put themselves on top of a 3-0 score line on a pair of goals from Coblenz and one from Blake. Midway through the third period, a line brawl resulted in the ejection of several players and subsequent league suspensions. Storm player Keenan Scardina and Generals forward Ethan Sundstrum each received a onegame suspension for their roles in the brawl, while Campbell River’s Reece Costain will sit out six games for leaving the penalty box during an altercation. The two teams traded goals in the third, Witala for Campbell River and Jordan Bautista for Oceanside, resulting in a 4-1 Storm victory. After the weekend, Campbell River sits atop the North division with a 6-1-1 record. Their next action is a home date against the Kerry Park Islanders on Friday.

Cermaq remains undefeated CCWFC maintained their perfect start to their inaugural Division Two season with a comfortable 4-0 win over Castaways this past Saturday afternoon. Castaways arrived with only eight players and should be commended on a spirited effort. Indeed it was only two-nil at the half and Wave goalkeeper Wylie Roberts had to be alert to two counter attacks by the travelling Victoria outfit. It was Matt Woof that got the Cermaq Wave on the scoreboard with a tidy finish inside the penalty area.
Shane Dumanoir doubled the lead after 36 minutes with a towering header off an Eddie Lawson corner. The second half saw much of the same with the Castaways defending with great heart and the Wave trying their best to break down the well-organized and resolute defence. Woof scored his second of the game after 81 minutes and the fourth and final goal was tapped in by Peter McWilliams. Next weekend Cermaq face their toughest test of the season so far with a trip to Cowichan on Saturday night.

Grady Robertson breaks through alone and beats the Comox Valley goaltender with a move to the backhand for the Bantam A Tyees’ third goal of the night Saturday in their 11-1 win.
Dominant wins open season for Bantam A Tyees Though this past week marked the calendar’s end of what was a beautiful summer, it was also the dawn of a highlyanticipated hockey season for head coach Vince Devlin and the KLP Construction Bantam A Tyees. This years’ team, composed of mostly second-year players and featuring an abundance of skill, played a pair of tiering games at Rod Brind’Amour arena this past weekend. On Saturday, the Tyees trounced their rivals from Comox 11 – 1.

home team’s lead before the end of the first. Cole Devlin, Jory Swanson, and two more by Fahey gave the Tyees a commanding 6-0 lead after the second stanza. Luka Kellerhals made the lead a converted touchdown before Logan Chapdelaine closed out the scor-
ing on a clear-cut breakaway goal after stealing the puck from a Grizzly defenseman at the blueline. The tiering round continues at home versus Nanaimo T1 on Saturday before heading to play their first road game in Powell River on Sunday.

Captain Cody Savey, Jory Swanson, and Grady Robertson scored in the first period to give the Tyees a 3-0 lead after the first period. Two more second period tallies by Swanson in addition to singles by Owen Parker and Davis Frank put the Tyees up 7-0 after two. Swanson, Frank, Robertson, and Cole Devlin scored in the third period to close out the scoring for the Tyees with goaltender Antoine Minfray allowing only one puck to beat him late in the game to earn a win in the lopsided victory. On Sunday, the Tyees faced off against the T2 Juan de Fuca Grizzlies. Defenseman Matthew Ubriaco opened the scoring on a slap shot from the point, and River Fahey doubled the

GOLF Weekly Taking your medicine Mike Davies, Campbell River Mirror
Let’s face it, there are times when things don’t exactly go as planned out there on the links. You’re visualizing your shot off the tee starting out down the right side of the fairway and having a nice little draw to bring it back towards the inside of the dogleg left to give yourself a short-iron into the green on the proper angle, but instead, it starts right and fades instead, ending up 10 yards into the forest that lines the hole. Or it over draws and ends up behind the trees that line the right side and you don’t have line of sight at the green. And now you have a decision.
In the scenario where you’re blocked by the trees on the inside of the dogleg, you can try to hook the ball around those trees and try to find the putting surface. In the scenario where you’ve got a line into the green, you’ve got a very small window to hit between the trees in front of you. Either way, there’s a very small margin of error. In my opinion, you need to take the high-percentage shot and just focus on getting the ball somewhere with this effort that you can get to the green on the next one. Having to postpone your approach shot and chip out of the woods sideways – or even backwards – while always frustrating, is often a score saver.

Win a trip, and help out the community The Campbell River Community Foundation is hosting its second annual Gala Dinner and Vacation Draw on Saturday, Oct. 24 at the Dolphins Resort. The event, which features a reverse-draw of 10 unique vacation getaways, was a huge success last year, raising more than $10,000 for the Community Foundation. This year’s grand prize
will be an all-inclusive week for two to the beautiful Riu Palace in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. “We wanted to create a fundraising event that people could get excited about,” says Amanda Raleigh, gala committee chair. And this is exactly that, Raleigh says. The unique reversedraw structure works by removing ticket holders’ names from the draw as the evening unfolds.
Ticket holders are then given opportunities to re-enter the running throughout the night for higher odds...but at a higher price. “It was incredible seeing the enthusiasm from everyone last year and we could not be more thrilled to run this event again,” says Raleigh. The Foundation is actively looking for community sponsors interested in supporting the
event, either through vacation sponsorships, donation of travel points or cash in-kind. Proceeds from the gala go directly back to the residents of Campbell River through the Foundation’s community grants, which support a wide range of local organizations and projects. For ticket and sponsorship information of the Gala, visit www.crfoundatioo.ca/events

Chamber Taking Action – The Voice of Business
Business is the backbone of our economy and a driving force towards creating jobs and opportunities in Campbell River. October is Small Business Month in BC, a month dedicated to recognizing entrepreneurs and celebrating all that business contributes. Following the Chamber’s Business Awards of Distinction event that recognized those
businesses, organizations and individuals who are shaping Campbell River, we now look forward to taking new action to represent the collective voice of our members and business community. In addition to the Business Leaders Luncheon and Federal Election All Candidates Forum that the Chamber will be featuring in October,
we are also working in partnership with our community representatives to prepare for a Business Walk.

There are numerous types of seniors communities available. Each has it’s own personality – just like all of us. Make no mistake – these are NOT the “Nursing Homes” your Great Aunt Mary used to live in. The Senior Living communities of today are vibrant, active, resident focused communities that add value and respect to each resident’s lives.
”
A good entry level housing change could be a Retirement Community; also called Independent or Supportive Living Housing. These individual apartment style communities offer a large choice of services and amenities for the residents. Many new communities can be compared to a cruise ship or hotel environment, while still maintaining a home feel environment.
Submit Your Business Questions for the All Candidates Forum On October 19th, Canadians will go to the polls to elect a new federal government. Now, more than ever, Canada needs a strong business community, and our elected officials need to hear from businesses large and small. Today, we are inviting our members to submit a potential question for the candidates. This is a great opportunity for our future M.P. to hear from our business leaders and citizens on the issues that matter to a strong and vibrant community. The Campbell

Most retirement communities usually include a full service dining room, as well as a private dining room, many social rooms, theatre room, fitness and recreation areas and a library. The “hospitality” services that can be expected include meals, laundry, housekeeping services, social and recreation programs, 24 hour emergency response, scheduled shopping trips and bus excursions. There are also some optional fee-for-services made available as per individual needs such as a traveling hair dresser, foot care, assistance with daily living (shower or bath, medication reminders, personal laundry, etc). Most retirement communities are billed on a monthly rental package basis, eliminating the worry of any long term leases.
River Chamber of Commerce is a non-partisan organization. We do not endorse candidates. Take the time to make an informed decision make your vote count. All questions from the Chamber and Mirror will be considered as we develop the final questions for the forum. Go to www. campbellriverchamber.ca and follow the links to submit your question(s) online. Don’t miss this opportunity to ask your important questions before the polls open.
Chamber Executives:
Whether a search for a change in housing is prompted by the desire for a lifestyle change or a serious medical condition, finding the right place to live can be challenging and stressful for both you and your loved one. However, the earlier you assess the current needs of your loved one and how those needs may evolve over time, the more choices there will be.
A Retirement Community like Berwick by the Sea, with Independent/ Supportive Living is just one option; also available for consideration are Assisted Living and Long Term or Complex Care. Wendy Mayers is your local Senior Living Expert. If you have questions, or would like to chat, please contact Wendy at Berwick by the Sea, 250-914-8055 or email: berwickbythesea@berwickrc.com
