unplanned river flow reductions in the Campbell River that go below 80 cubic metres per second (m3/s) - the river bottom is fully covered with water at 80 m3/s - and for more than 10 minutes.
The board of trustees of School District 72 (SD72) is backing a proposal to increase the penalty for drivers who fail to stop for school busses with lights flashing. At a recent meeting of the board, Chairperson Susan Wilson requested the board’s permission to write a letter in support of the proposed fee increase being put forward by the Peace River Regional District (PRRD). The PRRD introduced a “Safe Stop” program this past April, “to remind the motoring public that driving through the flashing red lights of a school bus is both dangerous and illegal.” Between April 15 and June 25, the Transportation Department of School District 60 (Peace River North), recorded every instance of a motorist passing a bus while its lights were flashing, and found “more than one infraction per day.” “Drivers in British Columbia do not take this issue seriously,” reads the letter from the PRRD, “and it’s just a matter of time before another child is injured or killed.” The letter cites the fine for a “Fail to stop for a school bus” infraction in B.C. is only $167 and three points added to a license, while in Alberta, the fine is $400. Ontario, the letter says, “has an absolute Zero Tolerance” policy for this offence, and fines there range from $400 to $2,000. “It seems like this is something

intense drought. Later on Thursday, at about 3 p.m., InPower BC had their first controlled blast in rock for the new tailrace (water discharge from the new powerhouse and tunnel) as part of the John Hart Generating Station Replacement Project. Proactive plans and coordination were in place, including BC Hydro staff and crews inside the powerhouse monitoring the 68-yearold generating units. Two units and one penstock were out of service at the time to repair a small leak in the penstock, and two penstocks
and four units were operating at full capacity. The blast, which was within prescribed vibration limits, resulted in generator #4 being forced out of service, Hydro spokesperson Stephen Watson said. “Crews immediately responded and within 30 minutes the unit was spinning back online,” Watson said. “In consideration for recreation fishers in the river downstream, BC Hydro increased the generator discharge following normal ramp-up procedures versus immediately bringing the unit back to full capacity.” Hydro officials estimate the Campbell River
flow dropped from about 80 m3/s to about 62 m3/s. G ov e r n m e nt f i s h agencies were notified and biologists were dispatched to key sites in the upper river. “We believe there to be minimal to no impacts to fish. No stranded fish were observed,” Watson said. That conclusion was based on the amount of time the generator was down, the delay in flow response to the shutdown and by comparing it to the impact on gravel spawning beds of a high river flow last December. BC Hydro and InPower BC will be discussing the tailrace area blasting
work and further refinements in the rock excavation process beside the old powerhouse, as well as further mitigation and contingency plans for the six generating units. All three penstocks are now in operation. The John Hart project is building a water bypass facility within the new underground powerhouse so that if one or more units are forced offline, the bypass facility will automatically be initiated to re-direct the water and maintain downstream river flow continuity. Maintaining downstream river flows for fish is one of the three reasons for the project.

A “Baltimore Stop” is when the bus pulls all the way over to the curb – or even off the road entirely – “so that there is at least

and we’re happy to help them build awareness of the issue, as well.” Cindy Dettling, the Safe Stop program coordinator in the PRRD, says the response to their proposal has been a positive one, with at least six school districts already pledging support, adding she has, “encountered absolutely no opposition
to this proposal.” The district’s letter, once drafted, will be sent to Premier Christy Clark, Minister of Justice Suzanne Anton, Minister of Transportation Todd Stone, the superintendent of motor vehicles, Minister of Education Mike Bernier and MLA for Peace River North Pat Pimm.

MARS asks the city for financial assistance

The Mountainaire Avian Rescue Society (MARS) is fundraising to build a new facility. The non-profit society, which has been rescuing injured and sick wildlife on the North Island since 1995, is operating at capacity. “During the past two years our caseload has almost doubled from an average of 400 patients per year to over 700,” said Pearl McKenzie with MARS during a presentation to Campbell River city council Monday evening. “We have run out of room at our small facility and must build a
new wildlife facility.” McKenzie said many of the patients MARS deals with come from the Campbell River area and most get into trouble because of human activities. MARS has been operating out of a modest facility in Merville, most notably rescuing and rehabilitating injured eagles, owls and other birds. One of its ambassadors, Shakespeare the barred owl, was nurtured back to health by MARS after losing one eye and fracturing his beak and sternum in a car accident. Now the society wants to build a hospital and flight pen to help other
recovering eagles and wildlife. MARS intends to first build a hospital and a caretaker’s residence, followed by a wildlife centre in phase two to house its educational program which is currently done mostly via outreach. The proposed centre includes a visitor centre, aviaries for MARS’ educational birds, a flight pen, trails and viewing areas around a pond, and housing for international students and visitors. The new facility will remain in Merville, on 11 acres of land that was purchased by MARS after the organization was bequeathed a significant sum of money by
the Michelle Woodrow estate. But the society is still looking for funding to help build the new facility and on Sept. 28, was before city council looking for assistance. “We need your help,” McKenzie said. “Financial contribution to the cost of building a new wildlife hospital (and) support for our Island Coastal Economic Trust (ICET) application for a visitor centre. “Visitors to this centre will consist of school classes and local families as well as tourists staying at nearby motels, campsites, hotels and resorts. We believe that the Wildlife Eco Centre will
also attract new tourists; people from all over the world who are interested in connecting with nature and viewing wildlife,” McKenzie added. “Research indicates that these visitors are people with higher than average
incomes, spending relatively more money than tourists in other sectors.” McKenzie said if MARS is successful in its fundraising efforts, construction of the centre will begin in late summer or fall of 2016, with
an opening date of May, 2017. The first phase of the project, the wildlife hospital and the caretaker’s residence is expected to be complete in late spring or early summer of 2016.

Test your smoke alarms for Fire Prevention Week An important reminder ahead of Fire Prevention Week: working smoke alarms save lives. Fire Prevention Week runs from Oct. 4-10 and it launched Friday with a smoke alarm demonstration that punctuates the need for working alarms in every bedroom, as about half of residential fire deaths occur between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. . “As the new minister of state for emergency preparedness, I am committed to helping elevate fire prevention awareness and urge all British Columbians to take steps to be safe and protect your home from fire risks. Fire Prevention Week provides all British Columbians with a reminder to review evacuation plans and practice fire drills, test the batteries in fire alarms, and ensure fire extinguishers are serviced,” said Minister of State for Emergency Preparedness, Naomi Yamamoto. Fire preparedness activities at fire halls and schools across the province will take place over the week. Tim Pley, Fire Chiefs’ Association of British Columbia said, “The

The federal budget document began with an ominous warning about deep cuts. Social programs, justice and corrections would be spared as much as possible, but no department would escape the knife. The stark truth was revealed in a table of figures. Health care spending, the core of the Canadian state, was cut by 3.8 per cent in just the first year of the fiscal plan, as population and need continued to grow. No, this is not from the Stephen Harper budget of April 2015, or any other in the last decade. It’s from the Jean Chretien budget of 1995, more than 20 years ago. That’s the last time anyone actually cut health care spending. But wait, you may say. Didn’t I hear that Harper has slashed health care spending by $30 billion? Yes, you probably did hear the biggest, most brazen lie of this election campaign, either from the government unions that advertised it or the politicians who parrot it. If health care really is everyone’s high-priority issue, as pollsters have long assured us, voters should at least know
the facts. After cutting provincial health and social services transfers for years to end the string of operating deficits that began under Pierre Trudeau and continued under Brian Mulroney, Liberal finance minister Paul Martin rose briefly to the top job. In 2004, Martin staged meetings with premiers, emerging with what was billed as “a fix for a generation,” with federal health transfers to rise six per cent each year into the future. The future for Martin’s government lasted only two years, as his minority was replaced with one led by Harper. These galloping increases continued until the Conservative majority of 2011, after which then-finance minister Jim Flaherty came to Victoria to inform provincial finance ministers of the new plan. (I was there, and the joke was that this was as far from Ottawa as

Flaherty could get without leaving Canada.) The six-per-cent increases, by that time triple inflation, would continue for another five years. Starting in 2017-18, increases would be tied to economic growth, with a hike B.C. minimum of three per cent, still well ahead of today’s inflation. That remains the Conservative plan today. All provinces east of Saskatchewan pitched a fit. Manitoba’s NDP finance minister termed it “un-Canadian.” Lefties immediately called it a cut, to which Flaherty replied that transfers to provinces would rise from $30 billion to $38 billion in 2018-19, and continue to grow after that. In B.C., then-finance minister Kevin Falcon praised the long-term approach, acknowledging that health spending was ballooning to half of the provincial budget and had to be

A brief history of health spending VIEWS
With less than three weeks to go till the federal election, it’s high time that voters – if they haven’t already – give some serious thought to who they want to lead the country forward for the next four years. Locally, there will be four names on the ballot: Rachel Blaney (NDP); Brenda Sayers (Green Party); Peter Schwarzhoff (Liberal Party); and Laura Smith (Conservative Party). Most of the names will be familiar to those who have called the North Island home for any length of time and pay attention to current events. But name recognition alone is not enough to base a vote on. We say: There’s What will these candidates do for the comno shortage of munity should they win ways to get to a seat on Oct. 19? How know candidates knowledgeable are they on issues that matter? How strongly will they make our community’s voice heard in Ottawa? Which of them best represents what you see as the best direction, locally and nationally? There are no shortage of ways to get to know the issues, and where each candidate stands on them: go to debates, visit campaign offices, call or email the candidates directly or simply stop them in the street and ask. If they really want to represent you – as they insist they do – they will take the time to hear what’s important to you, and give their time to fully explain their positions and what’s driving them. Candidates, too, have very limited time left to make their views known, to sell constituents on their abilities to have a positive influence on this community’s and Canada’s future, and bring the needs and wants of both to the forefront. The bottom line is this: Oct. 19 isn’t just another day. It’s a day that will determine the country’s path forward for a significant length of time – a term in which much can happen, both positive and negative. No doubt, there will be those unhappy with some or all of the decisions of those who are elected to effect change or stay the course. Many are unhappy with the electoral process altogether and have a jaundiced view of all politicians, regardless of party affiliations. But saying that a single vote doesn’t count is tantamount to saying that all votes don’t count – a position we don’t believe Canadians are ready to embrace. The reality is that those who don’t vote will have no right to complain. – Black Press

brought under control as baby boomers start to retire. B.C. has largely accomplished that, with spending increases below three per cent and health care outcomes that continue to lead the country. As the current election campaign turns into the home stretch, Statistics Canada has announced a milestone. For the first time in history, the number of seniors exceeds number of children. This demographic shift is inexorable, predictable and must be addressed by whoever wins the Oct. 19 federal election. NDP leader Thomas Mulcair is on record that he will scrap the Conservative formula for growth-based increases that he pretends are cuts, returning to six per cent every year while balancing the budget. Little detail has been provided on how this would be done. Liberal leader Justin Trudeau announced in Surrey last week that he will ante up an extra $3 billion over four years for health care, and “sit down with the provinces immediately” to renegotiate, a rerun of Paul Martin’s political theatre.

Fishing rights are laws of the land The Nuu-chah-nulth Tribal Council would like to correct several points that were reported in your Sept. 24 story, “ELECTION 2015: ‘Most important election in First Nations peoples history,’” by Kristen Douglas. Paragraph 6 reads: “Last year, the Supreme Court of Canada upheld a 1990 B.C. court decision confirming the right of native people to
fish and sell their catch.” In 2014, the Supreme Court of Canada refused to hear Canada’s appeal of a B.C. Court of Appeal ruling affirming the right of five Nuuchah-nulth Nations to fish and sell fish caught in their territories. The case, known as Ahousaht et al, was decided in B.C. Supreme Court in 2009 (not 1990) and has been reaffirmed twice through
the B.C. Appeal Court process. The economic fishing rights accorded to the five Nations under Ahousaht et al are unique in Canada and Constitutionally-protected: they are the law of the land. However, Canada is now back in court arguing that DFO’s past and ongoing infringements of Nuu-chah-nulth economic fishing rights are
justified. The Nuu-chah-nulth Tribal Council believes the ability of our members to engage in commercial seafood harvesting within our territories is beneficial to all people in our coastal communities, aboriginal and non-aboriginal alike. We do not understand why the Conservative government opposes the Court decision, upheld

CNA hosts garden open house By John Twigg, Secretary, Campbellton Neighbourhood Association
In the grand scheme of things the Campbellton Community Garden cannot be considered a big deal but it IS an important beginning. Even among the other community gardens in and around Campbell River the CNA one on 15th Avenue near Petersen is humble, having started late in the spring, been built entirely by volunteers using donated and discounted materials and presently growing in only 22 plots - but next year if energy and donations permit it could approximately double its size. Meanwhile the garden, which is organic, has already achieved some notable successes, not only growing some good crops (especially beets!) but also building positive new relationships between the gardeners (some of whom are from outside Campbellton which is fair because the garden sits on City land) and it has boosted the profile of the Campbellton Neighbourhood Association amongst residents and businesses in the neighbourhood and thereby helped sell the notion that the CNA after four years of start-up might well be a good thing worth supporting too. Free BBQ Friday To

achievements the CNA will be hosting an Open House in the garden on this Friday (Oct. 9) from 4 p.m to 7 p.m., with a free barbecue and potluck under two tents plus recognition to the many volunteers, donors and sponsors who made it possible. Everyone interested is welcome.

The importance of the garden
The move to more local food in fact has so many subtle spinoff benefits, such as jobs and health, that it also has become part of the current federal election campaign. So yes, maybe the Campbellton Community Garden IS a big deal!
If the CNA wins one of those prizes the proceeds will go towards building the garden's Phase 2, and after that it will begin looking for more spaces for more new gardens.

‘Outside the box’ learning at Summer School
Experimentation for both students and teachers increases learning outcomes in School District 72 MIKE DAVIES CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
The co-principals of this past summer’s Summer School session are thrilled with how many parents and students are taking advantage of the opportunity presented to them by the district outside the regular school year. About 10 per cent of learners in School District 72 took Summer School programs this past summer, co-principals Chris Hayduk and Rob Hatfield told the Board of Trustees at a recent public meeting, and they got a unique and beneficial learning experience, thanks to the teachers who made it happen. Hayduk, who has worked in Summer School programs in three different school districts, told the board that when they started preparing for this years’ Summer School, they began by getting teachers to send in proposals for courses they’d like to teach over the summer. “We wanted them to
be as creative as possible,” Hayduk said. “We wanted them to try things that the normal structures of everyday school might be in the way of, but that in the summer we aren’t restricted by.” What they ended up with were unique and engaging programs that blended subjects and used interesting methods to introduce or reinforce concepts. “We had things like Drama and Storytelling, Imagination in Literacy, Rockets Arithmetic and Recreation, Cooking Numeracy and Literacy – these are just the titles,” Hayduk said. “When you walk into the middle of these courses, it’s just amazing. I haven’t seen this in the other districts I’ve worked in.” Hatfield agreed. “Kids look at these courses and just think they’re interesting and fun,” he told the board. “They’re learning math, but they’re learning it while they’re building rockets. Or they’re learning writing skills, but they’re bringing Lego to
school and doing stopmotion animation to bring those stories to life.” And the kids weren’t the only ones who enjoyed the twist on traditional learning methods. Teachers, too, said they loved the opportunity to explore and push the boundaries of the model. Hayduk said the comment that struck him the most – and represented what he was hearing from teachers in general – was when “a very experienced teacher, who was just having a blast, told me, ‘I need to see how I can make this my normal job.’” Assistant Superintendent Nevenka Fair said she thinks the experimentation being done by teachers in the summer translates to better learning outcomes throughout the rest of the year, as well. “They are beginning to integrate the academics with the non-academics more in summer school, and it really is matching the direction where the curriculum is going in
the regular classroom,” Fair said. “I think teachers are experimenting in Summer School more and more, and that’s great, because the benefits of that experimentation is then being transferred into the regular classroom.” “We’re already excited for next year,” Hayduk told the board, offering a few recommendations for moving forward. “We’re excited to continue to encourage the creative spark that the teachers showed us this year and spread that idea as far as we can,” he said, but he is hoping some of the administrative and bureaucratic aspects of Summer School can get ironed out, particularly in terms of registration, perhaps making online registration available for parents and eliminate the “administrative headaches that come with needing to move so much paper around.” For more information about Summer School, visit the SD72 website at sd72.bc.ca and look under “Programs & Services.”

Annual clean-up removes 52 tonnes of waste from watershed While the City of C ampb el l R iver is pleased with how much waste was removed during their annual watershed clean-up went last week, they wish there was less they would have to remove in the first place. The annual Campbell River watershed cleanup is held each year at the end of September, and more than 52,000 kg – or 52 metric tonnes – of refuse was removed from the watershed during this year’s event. “It’s tempting to take the source of Campbell River’s drinking water for granted because it is so vast, and, as long as we protect it, safe,
healthy and abundantly available,” said Nathalie Viau, the city’s water supervisor. “We must remember, though that it is truly extraordinary to have such an array of streams, lakes, ponds and rivers that provide such a pristine source of water – one that does not have to be filtered but only disinfected before we use it. To keep our watershed healthy, we must keep it safe from contaminants, and garbage can have a direct impact on the community’s drinking water quality.” Amber Zirnhelt, community planning and development services manager for the City of Campbell River, says

residents should be proactive in their disposal habits in order to reduce the amount of waste in our natural environment. The annual watershed cleanup is great, but it would be even better if it wasn’t necessary. “There are many ways to responsibly dispose of unwanted items,” Zirnhelt says. “We encourage residents to reduce, re-use and recycle as much as possible and also compost and use the yard waste collection or drop-off centre.

What do your candidates think of their own party’s leader?
The North Island– Powell River candidates in the upcoming federal election were recently asked at a public forum why we, as an electorate, should trust and support their party’s leader. “It’s actually very easy for me to support my leader,” replied Liberal candidate Peter Schwarzhoff, “because of his leadership style. On everything that he’s proposing to do, it’s a team effort. He’s proposing to bring people together and discuss things and
tion and bring that information back (to consider it),” she said, rather than making decisions on the people’s behalf and sending his MPs out to tell the people about those decisions after they’ve already been made. “I’m excited to work with Tom. He’s very open and really friendly, and he will stand on his principles. I trust him 100 per cent, because he’s proven that again and again.” Conservative candidate Laura Smith didn’t actually comment on why people should trust her party’s leader, Ste-

phen Harper, instead stressing that the public should be wary of promises for change that seem too good to be true. “What we’re having in this campaign is parties trying to make a case for change, but not really offering us much to change to – aside from, ‘We’ll do all these things, but it’s coming out of your pocket.’” She says the promises being made by the other parties are placing the “burden of your (current) comfort on future generations. What we’re offering is very modest, achievable promises
that we know we can do within a fiscal framework.” Green Party candidate Brenda Sayers agreed with Smith that there are a lot of promises are being made during the campaign, “and one thing I would ask people is that after the election, hold your MP accountable for the promises that were made.” She also agreed with Smith that it’s unfair to place excessive burden on future generations, but in the Green Party’s view, the burden that needs to be dealt with now instead of later is an

His own “policy backgrounder” says he would, “… develop a more effective, better managed system of firearms registration.” “Thomas Mulcair Policy Backgrounder,” page 3 Before the current election campaign started, Mulcair also said, “I think that it is possible to provide the police with the tools to better protect the public and themselves by making sure they’re able to follow every gun ... That’s our bottom line.” Toronto Sun, July 25th If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, maybe it’s a duck? Mulcair ordered all NDP MP’s to oppose scrapping the useless gun registry in 2012. Mulcair severely sanctioned MPs who dared vote for their constituents and against the NDP party line. The long-gun registry cost Canadians over $2 billion and didn’t save a single life. Mulcair still pushes such expensive useless schemes. Mulcair’s NDP also voted against every other effort by the Conservative government to simplify our overly complex and ineffective gun regulations. Should British Columbians trust Mulcair’s NDP? Mulcair must maintain his base in Montreal and Toronto to retain power; they are the people who favour even more and stricter gun controls. Would the policies of a Mulcair government reflect BC or Quebec? Authorized by the BCWF Political Action Alliance

to address those environmental concerns, “because we need to think about upcoming generations.” She also said her party’s leader has shown how she would govern the country, echoing Blaney and Schwarzhoff ’s praise of their own leaders’ views that good governance is collaborative rather than authoritative. “Elizabeth May has always been the first one out of the gate to raise the alarm to Canadians about policies that are coming down the pipeline,” Sayers said, and she does that because she wants Canadians to actually engage and be a part of how they are governed, notDown being dictated Slow in our to by School those in power.

He’s not going to go into the U.S. and tell them how to do things, he’s going to call up the President and work on it together.” NDP candidate Rachel Blaney had similar praise for her party’s leader, Tom Mulcair. “Tom is a leader of strong principle, and he’s collaborative,” Blaney said. “He wants to work with people.

We asked the candidates...
G
BRENDA SAYERS: reen Party candidate Brenda Sayers says people have voting on their minds when she talks to people on the campaign trail. “What I have been hearing as the Green Party candidate is about proportional representation,” Sayers said. “That seems to be in the forefront of people’s minds.” Sayers is happy to hear that people are thinking about our voting system and are willing to see it changed from our first-past-thepost system where the candidate with the most votes is selected as the representative. Proportional representation determines the make up of parliament by allocating seats based on the number of votes a party receives. The Greens, the NDP and Liberals are in favour of this and that’s “good to see,” Sayers said. People are also worried about our democratic system, Sayers said. People ask what the Greens are going to do to make changes in the country. “Every time we look around, there is something else that has been changed,” Sayers said people tell her. “Our rights have been undermined.” Such legislation as Bill C51
broadens the authority of Canadian government agencies to share information about individuals easily. It also expanded the mandate of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service. Focused on terrorism, people fear it could be used to prevent protests over the environment or First Nations issues or any form of protest. The Conservatives say the bill is designed to combat terrorism but it is so ambiguous, Sayers said. But besides changing the electoral system, people also have other issues on their minds. “Health care seems to be an issue for people,” Sayers said. People are concerned about how their health services are delivered and the current government’s impact on the delivery of those services. People are also worried about the trend towards privatization and people want the health care system to be more accessible to more people. Sayers has recently spent time with street people and they raise concerns about the lack of housing. “People die from pneumonia and exposure,” Sayers said. It’s difficult to hear about these things, she said, but it does give you a different perspective.
The topical news stories impact what people talk about on the doorsteps of the riding and trade agreements have risen to the fore for some people. “Trade agreements became an issue because of the recent news about the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP),” Sayers said. The TPP would create a free trade zone among 12 countries around the Pacific. The Green Party and other critics fear the foreign investment protection provisions and their dispute clauses that over ride the rights of Canadians. Sayers said there is a mood of desperation among some of the voters she talks to. “I don’t think I have talked to one person who has been supportive of (Prime Minister Stephen) Harper,” Sayers said. People tell her that they don’t recognize the country any more. “It’s not the Canada they once knew,” she said. People want the integrity of the nation restored. Canada used to be one of the top peacekeepers in the world, now we’re 67th. How we treat our veterans, doorto-door postal delivery, CBC funding, “all those things we’re so proud of as Canadians, have changed so rapidly,” Sayers said

What are the issues uppermost on people’s minds?
A
PETER SCHWARZHOFF: s befits a diverse riding, Peter Schwarzhoff finds that what people consider the top issue depends on where you are. In Comox, it’s seniors, veterans and health care concerns that people talk about. Although seniors and health care issues are raised by everybody, the uppermost topics vary. “When you get north of Campbell River, all of a sudden, it’s all about jobs; what is the future,” Schwarzhoff said. “In Campbell River, it seems to be a mixture. People are concerned about the economic future of the area, where will the jobs come from; but also health care,” Schwarzhoff said. Schwarzhoff said that now’s the time for the federal government to give the economy the kick start that will lead to jobs now and a healthy economy later. That kick start has three components. The first will see the Liberals investing in traditional infrastructure projects – roads, sewers, etc. The second component will be investing in “social infrastructure,” Schwarzhoff said. Social infrastructure includes things like seniors facilities and educational facilities.
“And the final one for me is what we’re calling the clean tech sector in infrastructure,” Schwarzhoff said. “This is where we hope the jobs of the future come from. Whole new opportunities are opening up around the world for people that are involved in clean tech.” And that includes forestry, he said. There are firms in Campbell River involved in sustainable forestry and their services could be in demand around the world. “So I am very hopeful we will be able to take advantage of the investments we have to build us a whole new economic sector,” Schwarzhoff said. A secondary aspect of developing clean technologies is to move away from a reliance on fossil fuels and towards a less carbon-intensive energy sector. This would involve alternative energy sources like wind, solar, tidal and geothermal. “When people talk about jobs and the economy I immediately talk about all the opportunities that we’re going to be taking forward from our infrastructure investments,” Schwarzhoff said. The Liberals have a plan to pay for it and it involves running three consecutive deficits before bringing the economy into the black, Schwarzhoff said. He expected
a negative reaction from people at the door after that announcement. But it turned out to not be the case. People got it. “They understand the difference between debt and investment,” Schwarzhoff said. People get that and they don’t want to wait. “People don’t want to wait they want some action now,” Schwarzhoff said. Schwarzhoff said that he has been canvassing since January and people have been interested in discussing the issues even back then. What has changed in recent weeks is that more people have made up their minds. He has been greeted with some cynicism and there is a general lack of trust in the political system. The Liberals plan to restore democracy. Another big issue on peoples minds is health care and the fact that people are concerned that were won’t be enough money in the system to do the job. The Liberal plan is to get away from the old acute care model where the focus is on facilities and hospitals. The Liberals’ plan focusses on keeping people healthy and allowing them to be treated at home where it is cheaper and more effective to deliver care.

W
LAURA SMITH: hen Conservative candidate Laura Smith is asked what issues are uppermost in people’s minds she replies, “Well, aside from boundary changes?” In the Comox Valley portion of the North Island-Powell River riding, people are unclear where the riding boundaries are. “When I’m down in the Comox Valley that’s actually the number one question. Nobody knows where the boundaries are because there’s signs for everybody everywhere,” Smith said. The southern portion of the former Vancouver Island North riding has been chopped off to create a new riding, Courtenay-Alberni. It divides the Comox Valley into two ridings and so there appears to be some confusion of where the boundary is. But boundary questions aside, the number one issue in peoples minds is pretty clear to Smith. “Definitely, it’s all about the economy,” she said. “People want to have sustainable communities. They want to know there are going to be jobs here for them.” The North Island-Powell River riding is a great place to live but it needs jobs. “You want to know that there is
a future for you and your family,” she said. This is especially true for the smaller communities of the North Island. The community sustainability issue is huge for them. It’s a matter of both preserving the economic opportunities that continue to survive as well as find new economic activity. “People are coming to realize that the days when our communities will be sustained by the one big employer or the one big industry are gone,” she said. “We need to diversify, we need to be looking to the future and what opportunities there are to use what we have.” Realizing that this is a beautiful place and that people want to come here, how do we provide an environment that gives them opportunities to either get jobs or build something here? And depending on where you are in the riding, that will look different. “We have a lot of advantages here in Campbell River because we have a lot of the sort of community infrastructure and there’s more diverse opportunities,” Smith said. But what you sometimes have in the smaller communities is a good job but the person looking at that job also is thinking of their spouse
and their spouse needs an opportunity to work as well. That’s less of an issue in a bigger centre like Campbell River. Smaller communities end up with a lot commuting back and forth. Campbell River is a hub for these communities and we need them to be prosperous in order for us to build our prosperity, Smith said. Campbell River has the advantage of having a “critical mass” of population and a lot of people want access to the large retail outlets. Those are issues that people consider when they move to a community. “We just need to create an environment in which communities of all sizes can thrive,” Smith said. And a big part in Smith’s mind too, is engaging First Nations. “If the First Nation community is prospering, then everybody is prospering,” Smith said. There’s a lot of things the Conservatives have brought in to get through some of the barriers created by the Indian Act. “We’ve been working to break down those barriers,” Smith said. In Campbell River, you see a lot of good models of how First Nations are developing their businesses and there’s a lot more entrepreneurship than there used to be and that’s helping communities.

P
eter Schwarzhoff is a atmospheric scientist who has recently retired after 30 years of service to Canadians with Environment Canada. An advocate of evidence-based policy making, Peter has worked to protect citizens from weather hazards and poor air quality, improve environmental policy and protect the environment through sound science. He has also been a strong advocate for sustainable development and a balanced approach to both economic growth and environmental preservation. Peter graduated with distinction from the University of Alberta and was awarded the James Percy award for excellence in synoptic meteorology from Environment Canada. During his time leading research with Environment Canada he was told to stop
working on climate change, became “gagged” and saw the scope of federal environmental assessments dramatically reduced. Soon after leaving, he watched in disbelief as most federal protection for fresh water was removed. Peter was commissioned as an officer in the Canadian Air Force where he served as a weather forecaster in Baden Soellingen, Germany. He continues his relationship with the military family through
his activities with the Royal Canadian Legion where he is a member of the colour party. Having grown up in Campbell River in a Pulp and Paper family, Peter moved back to his hometown four years ago. He has since become an extremely active member of his community; he volunteers as an instructor at Elder College, is the host of Philosophers’ Café, an ESL tutor for the Campbell Literacy Association and a member of Greenways Land Trust. Peter currently serves as Director of the Campbell River and District Association for Community Living and previously served as a Leader with Scouts Canada.

Laura Smith, Conservative Party
L
aura Smith is the clearest choice to be our next Member of Parliament because of her intimate understanding about the diversity between communities in North Island – Powell River, and her record of delivering results for coastal communities during her time as a Senior Policy Advisor in Ottawa. Laura stands up for the environment and economy: she has extensive experience protecting our natural environment and responsibly developing nature resources. Laura worked in forest stewardship for 14 years, ensuring that public values were protected within British Columbia’s working forests. Laura has both private and public sector experience. Her career in forestry taught her that it is entrepreneurs who grow our economy, and that the appropriate role of government is to protect the public’s interest without stifling the innovation of entrepreneurs.
Laura knows how Ottawa works – she has worked for Minister John Duncan as a Senior Policy Advisor in the Department of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development and the Office of the Chief Government Whip. Laura has worked directly on a number of initiatives and policies that impact coastal communities, and that responded to concerns raised directly by constituents. Laura thrives under pressure: calling on her experience as a skydiving instructor and search and rescue volunteer, Laura was

able to adapt to and perform well in the fast paced Ottawa environment. Laura continues to dedicate much of her spare time to volunteering for Comox Valley Ground Search and Rescue (SAR), and has been an active with SAR volunteer since 2007. Laura was born on Vancouver Island and has spent much of her life here. From time spent living on Gilford Island as a teenager and attending North Island Secondary School, to time spent living in Campbell River and the Comox Valley, to time spent doing forestry work in small, remote camps and communities, Laura has a solid grasp of the challenges and opportunities faced by the communities of North Island – Powell River. Laura currently lives in Campbell River where her parents, aunt and brother also reside. From: northislandpowellriver. conservative.ca/
We asked the candidates... What are the issues uppermost on people’s minds?
RACHEL BLANEY: Jobs, the environment and health care are the top issues NDP candidate Rachel Blaney hears on the campaign trail. “For me, what I am hearing the most from people is job security is a huge issue, just wanting to see more jobs in our area and more focus on what works in our area,” Blaney said. “The other one is the environment; hearing a lot about the changes. “And a lot of young people talking about the environment and wanting to see a green economy growing and thinking that that was really important and concern about the future and what they’re going to have to deal with. They want to see a government take some leadership now so that when it becomes their turn it’s not so overwhelming.” The third big issue Blaney hears about is health care. People are concerned about cuts and are concerned about the move towards privatization. Blaney has heard seniors talk about saving for retirement but are worried that their plan didn’t include having to pay for medical costs. “And then the same thing for young people, saying, you know, I have always sort of
increases, what does that look like for us in the future,” she said. Blaney tells voters that she understands what they’re saying about jobs. She has lived in the community for more than 27 years and has seen its ups and downs. In addition, she grew up in a resource community and saw its ups and downs and was directly impacted by that. “So I agree that we need more stability. We need to have a government interested in working as a key partner in making sure that stability is reality and that we have commitments toward infrastructure,” Blaney said. Government also needs to be a bigger partner fighting for small businesses, reflecting a recognition that 80 per cent of jobs come from small business. “And really fighting for those secondary resource positions,” Blaney said. The local economy has lost a lot of jobs because we send a lot of our resources away. The NDP thinks it is important that the focus be on what the government can do to help secondary resource development, forestry, for example. “What are those great ideas? How can government partner with that?” Blaney said. On the environment, Blaney
mental assessment processes, that the coastal environment needs greater protection and there needs to be greater investment in the green economy which would allow Canada to keep up with other countries in that sector. “Other countries have shown that there are a lot of good paying jobs and a lot of opportunity there and we just want to become a world leader in that,” she said. In traditional industry, Canada has lost a lot of manufacturing jobs – 400,000 in the 10 years. Government needs to be looking at where is the innovation. “Things have changed, we understand that but we want to work with industry to find out where those opportunities are and stop shipping all of our raw resources away,” Blaney said. Exporting raw resources is a reality, the NDP understands that, but where are other opportunities that we’re not taking advantage of, she said. In health care, the Conservatives have committed to cutting $36 billion while the NDP has committed to returning that $36 billion to health care. “We understand that health care is key to the stability of our country,” Blaney said.

He has also been a strong advocate for sustainable development and a balanced approach to both economic growth and environmental preservation. Peter graduated with distinction from the University of Alberta and was awarded the James Percy award for excellence in synoptic meteorology from Environment Canada. During his time leading research with Environment Canada he was told to stop
working on climate change, became “gagged” and saw the scope of federal environmental assessments dramatically reduced. Soon after leaving, he watched in disbelief as most federal protection for fresh water was removed. Peter was commissioned as an officer in the Canadian Air Force where he served as a weather forecaster in Baden Soellingen, Germany. He continues his relationship with the military family through
his activities with the Royal Canadian Legion where he is a member of the colour party. Having grown up in Campbell River in a Pulp and Paper family, Peter moved back to his hometown four years ago. He has since become an extremely active member of his community; he volunteers as an instructor at Elder College, is the host of Philosophers’ Café, an ESL tutor for the Campbell Literacy Association and a member of Greenways Land Trust. Peter currently serves as Director of the Campbell River and District Association for Community Living and previously served as a Leader with Scouts Canada. Peter has two sons and Loretta is Peter’s wife of 32 years. She has been a medical imaging technologist and a book seller. From: peterschwarzhoff.liberal.ca

Laura Smith, Conservative Party
L
aura Smith is the clearest choice to be our next Member of Parliament because of her intimate understanding about the diversity between communities in North Island – Powell River, and her record of delivering results for coastal communities during her time as a Senior Policy Advisor in Ottawa. Laura stands up for the environment and economy: she has extensive experience protecting our natural environment and responsibly developing nature resources. Laura worked in forest stewardship for 14 years, ensuring that public values were protected within British Columbia’s working forests. Laura has both private and public sector experience. Her career in forestry taught her that it is entrepreneurs who grow our economy, and that the appropriate role of government is to protect the public’s interest without stifling the innovation of entrepreneurs.
Laura knows how Ottawa works – she has worked for Minister John Duncan as a Senior Policy Advisor in the Department of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development and the Office of the Chief Government Whip. Laura has worked directly on a number of initiatives and policies that impact coastal communities, and that responded to concerns raised directly by constituents. Laura thrives under pressure: calling on her experience as a skydiving instructor and search and rescue volunteer, Laura was
ALL CANDIDATES MEETING
able to adapt to and perform well in the fast paced Ottawa environment. Laura continues to dedicate much of her spare time to volunteering for Comox Valley Ground Search and Rescue (SAR), and has been an active with SAR volunteer since 2007. Laura was born on Vancouver Island and has spent much of her life here. From time spent living on Gilford Island as a teenager and attending North Island Secondary School, to time spent living in Campbell River and the Comox Valley, to time spent doing forestry work in small, remote camps and communities, Laura has a solid grasp of the challenges and opportunities faced by the communities of North Island – Powell River. Laura currently lives in Campbell River where her parents, aunt and brother also reside. From: northislandpowellriver. conservative.ca/
We asked the candidates... What are the issues uppermost on people’s minds?
RACHEL BLANEY: Jobs, the environment and health care are the top issues NDP candidate Rachel Blaney hears on the campaign trail. “For me, what I am hearing the most from people is job security is a huge issue, just wanting to see more jobs in our area and more focus on what works in our area,” Blaney said. “The other one is the environment; hearing a lot about the changes. “And a lot of young people talking about the environment and wanting to see a green economy growing and thinking that that was really important and concern about the future and what they’re going to have to deal with. They want to see a government take some leadership now so that when it becomes their turn it’s not so overwhelming.” The third big issue Blaney hears about is health care. People are concerned about cuts and are concerned about the move towards privatization. Blaney has heard seniors talk about saving for retirement but are worried that their plan didn’t include having to pay for medical costs. “And then the same thing for young people, saying, you know, I have always sort of
increases, what does that look like for us in the future,” she said. Blaney tells voters that she understands what they’re saying about jobs. She has lived in the community for more than 27 years and has seen its ups and downs. In addition, she grew up in a resource community and saw its ups and downs and was directly impacted by that. “So I agree that we need more stability. We need to have a government interested in working as a key partner in making sure that stability is reality and that we have commitments toward infrastructure,” Blaney said. Government also needs to be a bigger partner fighting for small businesses, reflecting a recognition that 80 per cent of jobs come from small business. “And really fighting for those secondary resource positions,” Blaney said. The local economy has lost a lot of jobs because we send a lot of our resources away. The NDP thinks it is important that the focus be on what the government can do to help secondary resource development, forestry, for example. “What are those great ideas? How can government partner with that?” Blaney said. On the environment, Blaney
mental assessment processes, that the coastal environment needs greater protection and there needs to be greater investment in the green economy which would allow Canada to keep up with other countries in that sector. “Other countries have shown that there are a lot of good paying jobs and a lot of opportunity there and we just want to become a world leader in that,” she said. In traditional industry, Canada has lost a lot of manufacturing jobs – 400,000 in the 10 years. Government needs to be looking at where is the innovation. “Things have changed, we understand that but we want to work with industry to find out where those opportunities are and stop shipping all of our raw resources away,” Blaney said. Exporting raw resources is a reality, the NDP understands that, but where are other opportunities that we’re not taking advantage of, she said. In health care, the Conservatives have committed to cutting $36 billion while the NDP has committed to returning that $36 billion to health care. “We understand that health care is key to the stability of our country,” Blaney said.

We asked the candidates...
G
BRENDA SAYERS: reen Party candidate Brenda Sayers says people have voting on their minds when she talks to people on the campaign trail. “What I have been hearing as the Green Party candidate is about proportional representation,” Sayers said. “That seems to be in the forefront of people’s minds.” Sayers is happy to hear that people are thinking about our voting system and are willing to see it changed from our first-past-thepost system where the candidate with the most votes is selected as the representative. Proportional representation determines the make up of parliament by allocating seats based on the number of votes a party receives. The Greens, the NDP and Liberals are in favour of this and that’s “good to see,” Sayers said. People are also worried about our democratic system, Sayers said. People ask what the Greens are going to do to make changes in the country. “Every time we look around, there is something else that has been changed,” Sayers said people tell her. “Our rights have been undermined.” Such legislation as Bill C51
broadens the authority of Canadian government agencies to share information about individuals easily. It also expanded the mandate of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service. Focused on terrorism, people fear it could be used to prevent protests over the environment or First Nations issues or any form of protest. The Conservatives say the bill is designed to combat terrorism but it is so ambiguous, Sayers said. But besides changing the electoral system, people also have other issues on their minds. “Health care seems to be an issue for people,” Sayers said. People are concerned about how their health services are delivered and the current government’s impact on the delivery of those services. People are also worried about the trend towards privatization and people want the health care system to be more accessible to more people. Sayers has recently spent time with street people and they raise concerns about the lack of housing. “People die from pneumonia and exposure,” Sayers said. It’s difficult to hear about these things, she said, but it does give you a different perspective.
The topical news stories impact what people talk about on the doorsteps of the riding and trade agreements have risen to the fore for some people. “Trade agreements became an issue because of the recent news about the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP),” Sayers said. The TPP would create a free trade zone among 12 countries around the Pacific. The Green Party and other critics fear the foreign investment protection provisions and their dispute clauses that over ride the rights of Canadians. Sayers said there is a mood of desperation among some of the voters she talks to. “I don’t think I have talked to one person who has been supportive of (Prime Minister Stephen) Harper,” Sayers said. People tell her that they don’t recognize the country any more. “It’s not the Canada they once knew,” she said. People want the integrity of the nation restored. Canada used to be one of the top peacekeepers in the world, now we’re 67th. How we treat our veterans, doorto-door postal delivery, CBC funding, “all those things we’re so proud of as Canadians, have changed so rapidly,” Sayers said

What are the issues uppermost on people’s minds?
A
PETER SCHWARZHOFF: s befits a diverse riding, Peter Schwarzhoff finds that what people consider the top issue depends on where you are. In Comox, it’s seniors, veterans and health care concerns that people talk about. Although seniors and health care issues are raised by everybody, the uppermost topics vary. “When you get north of Campbell River, all of a sudden, it’s all about jobs; what is the future,” Schwarzhoff said. “In Campbell River, it seems to be a mixture. People are concerned about the economic future of the area, where will the jobs come from; but also health care,” Schwarzhoff said. Schwarzhoff said that now’s the time for the federal government to give the economy the kick start that will lead to jobs now and a healthy economy later. That kick start has three components. The first will see the Liberals investing in traditional infrastructure projects – roads, sewers, etc. The second component will be investing in “social infrastructure,” Schwarzhoff said. Social infrastructure includes things like seniors facilities and educational facilities.
“And the final one for me is what we’re calling the clean tech sector in infrastructure,” Schwarzhoff said. “This is where we hope the jobs of the future come from. Whole new opportunities are opening up around the world for people that are involved in clean tech.” And that includes forestry, he said. There are firms in Campbell River involved in sustainable forestry and their services could be in demand around the world. “So I am very hopeful we will be able to take advantage of the investments we have to build us a whole new economic sector,” Schwarzhoff said. A secondary aspect of developing clean technologies is to move away from a reliance on fossil fuels and towards a less carbon-intensive energy sector. This would involve alternative energy sources like wind, solar, tidal and geothermal. “When people talk about jobs and the economy I immediately talk about all the opportunities that we’re going to be taking forward from our infrastructure investments,” Schwarzhoff said. The Liberals have a plan to pay for it and it involves running three consecutive deficits before bringing the economy into the black, Schwarzhoff said. He expected
a negative reaction from people at the door after that announcement. But it turned out to not be the case. People got it. “They understand the difference between debt and investment,” Schwarzhoff said. People get that and they don’t want to wait. “People don’t want to wait they want some action now,” Schwarzhoff said. Schwarzhoff said that he has been canvassing since January and people have been interested in discussing the issues even back then. What has changed in recent weeks is that more people have made up their minds. He has been greeted with some cynicism and there is a general lack of trust in the political system. The Liberals plan to restore democracy. Another big issue on peoples minds is health care and the fact that people are concerned that were won’t be enough money in the system to do the job. The Liberal plan is to get away from the old acute care model where the focus is on facilities and hospitals. The Liberals’ plan focusses on keeping people healthy and allowing them to be treated at home where it is cheaper and more effective to deliver care.

LAURA SMITH: hen Conservative candidate Laura Smith is asked what issues are uppermost in people’s minds she replies, “Well, aside from boundary changes?” In the Comox Valley portion of the North Island-Powell River riding, people are unclear where the riding boundaries are. “When I’m down in the Comox Valley that’s actually the number one question. Nobody knows where the boundaries are because there’s signs for everybody everywhere,” Smith said. The southern portion of the former Vancouver Island North riding has been chopped off to create a new riding, Courtenay-Alberni. It divides the Comox Valley into two ridings and so there appears to be some confusion of where the boundary is. But boundary questions aside, the number one issue in peoples minds is pretty clear to Smith. “Definitely, it’s all about the economy,” she said. “People want to have sustainable communities. They want to know there are going to be jobs here for them.” The North Island-Powell River riding is a great place to live but it needs jobs. “You want to know that there is
a future for you and your family,” she said. This is especially true for the smaller communities of the North Island. The community sustainability issue is huge for them. It’s a matter of both preserving the economic opportunities that continue to survive as well as find new economic activity. “People are coming to realize that the days when our communities will be sustained by the one big employer or the one big industry are gone,” she said. “We need to diversify, we need to be looking to the future and what opportunities there are to use what we have.” Realizing that this is a beautiful place and that people want to come here, how do we provide an environment that gives them opportunities to either get jobs or build something here? And depending on where you are in the riding, that will look different. “We have a lot of advantages here in Campbell River because we have a lot of the sort of community infrastructure and there’s more diverse opportunities,” Smith said. But what you sometimes have in the smaller communities is a good job but the person looking at that job also is thinking of their spouse
and their spouse needs an opportunity to work as well. That’s less of an issue in a bigger centre like Campbell River. Smaller communities end up with a lot commuting back and forth. Campbell River is a hub for these communities and we need them to be prosperous in order for us to build our prosperity, Smith said. Campbell River has the advantage of having a “critical mass” of population and a lot of people want access to the large retail outlets. Those are issues that people consider when they move to a community. “We just need to create an environment in which communities of all sizes can thrive,” Smith said. And a big part in Smith’s mind too, is engaging First Nations. “If the First Nation community is prospering, then everybody is prospering,” Smith said. There’s a lot of things the Conservatives have brought in to get through some of the barriers created by the Indian Act. “We’ve been working to break down those barriers,” Smith said. In Campbell River, you see a lot of good models of how First Nations are developing their businesses and there’s a lot more entrepreneurship than there used to be and that’s helping communities.

Museum to host travelling exhibit from the Anne Frank House It has travelled to more than 60 countries, and now the exhibition entitled “Anne Frank – A History for Today” will be arriving in Campbell River. Anne Frank was a young Jewish girl who had to go into hiding during World War II in an attempt to escape the Nazis. Her diary from that time remains a vivid record of the impacts of historical events on one person’s life. Seventy years after her death, Anne Frank’s short life still resonates strongly with people, especially with youth. This exhibit aims to create a dialogue with young people about topics such as the dangers of discrimination. Local high school teacher Steve Joyce first approached the Museum about bringing this exhibit to Campbell River. “I was lucky to find in the Campbell River Museum the amazing support to bring Anne’s story to Campbell River,” says Joyce. “The Museum has been able to connect it to our community through the stories of those who served in WWII fighting the very evil that created the Holocaust. The stories of Campbell River men who served, and in some cases paid the ultimate sacrifice, to liberate Europe will reside alongside Anne’s personal story.” Local students from the Outdoor Adventure Program at Timberline Secondary will be trained as volunteer guides to explain the exhibit to their peers.

Anne Frank’s moving story of survival captured in her diaries will be brought home to Campbell Riverites during a travelling exhibit from Anne Frank House.
Students have cited numerous benefits they hope to gain from their experience with this exhibit, ranging from gaining an in depth knowledge of this period in history, to increased confidence in public speaking. The exhibit, which includes content on Canadian History during the Second World
War, is presented in both English and French. It is being shown in collaboration with Anne Frank House, Steve Joyce from School District 72, and the Museum at Campbell River. There is a documentary film entitled “The Short Life of Anne Frank” that will be shown as part of the exhibit.
The opening reception will be held on Tuesday Oct. 13 from 4:30-6 p.m. and the public is encouraged to attend. The exhibit can be viewed from Oct. 13 until Nov. 15 at the Museum at Campbell River. To arrange a school tour, or for more information, call the Museum at 250-2873103.

Towards a sustainable economic model
Continuous growth in material standard of living has long been the primary goal of world economies and government policy. It is the key driver that fuels the free enterprise market based system. However, the earth is a finite planet with limits to its physical resources. It also has a surface environment which has evolved over millions of years and depends on the balance of many natural processes for its stability. The by-products of our growing industries disrupt that balance. The next Philosopher’s Cafe discussion on Oct. 14 from 7-8 p.m. at Berwick by the Sea starts with the assumption that growth of material consumption cannot continue without serious destructive consequences. So the question is how can we curb that growth?

Upper Island Riptide’s Autumn Lewis (in white) clears the ball as a Gorge player attempts to muscle her off of it.
Riptide U15 Girls continue winning streak
Momentum continues for the Marine Harvest Riptide U15 Girls soccer team who won their fifth game in a row with a shut-out on Saturday. Riptide faced Gorge/ Lakehill at Willow Point Park in Campbell River on the weekend, hoping to improve on their previous match up in early September, when Riptide won 1-0. Riptide’s defensive play remained strong and the offensive line was able to find a sweet spot this time, ending this game with a 4-0 win.
But that doesn’t mean it was an easy game. Riptide Captain, Lauren Wigard noted that, “Gorge fought hard and they aren’t a team we should take for granted. I am very proud of how we played this weekend; we started out strong, lost our composure in the middle, but we pulled ourselves together in the second half and stuck to our game plan.” Wigard’s affection for her team is evident. “I’m so lucky to have these strong dedicated girls as my team mates and I can
tell it’s going to be a good season.” This game marked a special “first” of the season for three Riptide’s players. Autumn Lewis made her mark with two assists, Assistant Captain, Aisha HunterBellavia, celebrated her first goal this year, and with much excitement, Riptide Captain, Lauren Wigard, saw her efforts realized with an assist and her first two goals as a U15 player. Marine Harvest Riptide U15 Girls play their next game away against

Don’t allow it to continue. You want to synchronize your arm swing and trunk movement for greater consistency. • You’ll each have different swing planes. Some will be high and some low.

After a disappointing 3-2 loss on Friday to the Kerry Park Islanders, the Campbell River Storm were looking for a strong response in the return match at Mill Bay on Sunday. The black and red would reply with a convincing 5-2 win. Captain Gage Colpron led the way with his
second hat-trick of the season. He would finish the afternoon with four points and sits atop of the VIJHL scoring race with 22 points on 13 goals and 9 assists. He’s off to a good start to his final season with the Storm but Head Coach Lee Stone says there’s more to his game than just offence, “He’s

strong in his own end, he kills penalties and he’s a great leader. I can’t say enough about what he does for our hockey club.� Colpron’s first goal came at the 5:46 mark of the first when Braeden Cyra centred the puck into the slot for the captain who fired it along the ice past goalie Chase

Anderson. Line mate, Colin Blake, also assisted on the goal. Cyra would make it 2-1 late in the period after Blake won an important faceoff deep in the Islanders end. Colpron would get the second assist. The league’s scoring leader would find himself in the box for 12 minutes, early in the second frame, after responding to a pair of aggressive hits from Patrick Poets on Storm teammates Keenan Scardina and Cole Slaney. Campbell River led
3-2 with twenty minutes left in regulation. The third would be a strong period for the first place Storm, outshooting the Islanders 10-4. Anderson, who was in net for the Isles win on Friday, would keep it close but with 2 ½ minutes left he was pulled for the extra attacker. Scardina would capitalize with his first of the season and Colpron would close out the scoring. Both empty-netters coming off turnovers. The penalty kill or as the team refers to it, “the power killâ€?, is best in the
league and the province. The Storm have allowed just two goals in the 55 times they have been shorthanded this season and have scored three times while a player down. The PK was perfect over the weekend and according to Stone, “it’s an area where we have a lot of pride. We’re real aggressive and when you take the opposing team’s power play out of the game it makes a difference.� The biggest area of concern for the Storm continues to be their
power play which is ranked second last at just 13 per cent. Stone feels the skill and talent is in place to be successful but the units are looking for the perfect play instead of getting pucks and bodies to the net. On Friday night, in the 3-2 loss, Storm goals came from Christian Brandt and Brett Witala. The Storm remain in first place with 7 wins, 2 losses and a tie. Their next action is Thursday in Nanaimo ahead of a home date with the Westshore Wolves on Friday.

Cermaq City Wave FC continue unbeaten streak
www.CampbellRiverMirror.com www.CampbellRiverMirror.com
Cermaq City Wave FC once again were to able to maintain their perfect start to their inaugural Division Two season with a hard working performance against a gritty and determined Cowichan outfit at MaCadam Park on Saturday night. Cermaq knew that a strong performance could see them record an important victory and the players responded. Cermaq started off brightly and surprised Cowichan with their high tempo and quick movement of the ball. Cowichan were a solid team going forward but they did seem to rely on the long ball to their big striker a little too often. The Cermaq backline of Peter McWilliams, Antho Seville, Colan Grotenboer and John
Jepson were able to repel most of the forays forward in the opening 15 minutes. McWilliams was to get the opening goal for Cermaq with a wonderful run down the right handside of the pitch. McWilliams then cut inside and drilled the ball into the net. The cermaq midfield of Robbie Shaw, Eddie Lawson and Mark Ross were working very hard and kept great shape throughout the whole game. Indeed the first half saw Cermaq play some very controlled soccer. Cowichan, did, however, have some pace about them and did finally beat the backline only to be thwarted by an excellent save from Beau Belle Oudry. Within minutes of the
crucial save Matt Wooff had made it two with a classic 20-yard shot which curled beautifully into the corner of the net. Just before the break Shane Dumanoir went on a great run and was upended in the penalty area where he scored the resulting penalty kick. Cowichan responded well in the second half and began to increase their tempo and put some pressure on the Cermaq goal. The opening spell of the second half saw a ver y open game. Cowichan were able to pull a goal back with a superb goal from outside the area. This gave them the obvious boost to push on but despite a good share of possession they were unable to create too
many other chances. Both Eric Roberts and Jason Fawkes were able to make some strong challenges at important times in breaking up some of their attacks. Indeed, Cermaq might have increased the lead on more than one occasion but for some excellent goal keeping in the Cowichan net. Cermaq know sit three points clear at the top of Divison Two and are eagerly anticipating their next opponents, second place Prospect Lake of Victoria. The game goes this Saturday Oct 10 at Willow Point. Local support in what should be a very hard fought affair would be greatly appreciated.

Pee Wee B Tyees in tough against Nanaimo The Legion Ladies Auxiliary Pee Wee B Tyees continued their tiering journey this past weekend with a pair of home tilts against Nanaimo and Por t Alberni. Saturday saw Nanaimo in town and the home team took advantage of their road legs by potting a quick goal early in the first thanks to Cole Dumont’s efforts. The Tyees continued to pour
the pressure and shots on the Clipper goalie, but could not find the back of the net. Nanaimo took advantage of some lucky bounces to take the lead until a beauty ‘bar down’ shot from Matt Block tied it at 2. Unfortunately the visitors pulled away as the game wore on and, despite outshooting Nanaimo by a wide margin, the final score was 5-2 Clippers.
Sunday saw Alberni coming to the Brindi for an afternoon match and the script was eerily similar. The Tyees again outshot their opponent, but could not beat the Alberni goalie. Excellent efforts by the 2 Tylers; Wingert and Jochimski helped tie the game at 2. But penalty problems put the Tyees back on their heels and the score ended up 4-2 in favour of the visitors.
4x5
New goalie Bailey Demuth put in an excellent effort in both games and his courage under fire was very impressive in his first ever rep hockey goalie experience. Coach Andrew was happy with the team’s compete level over the weekend and this bodes well for next weekend as the team heads to Port Alberni for the annual ‘Turkey Tournament’ in that city.

Canadian Blood Services provides a safe, secure, cost-effective, affordable and accessible supply of quality blood, blood products and their alternatives. Canada is selfsufficient in blood and we are working to be self-reliant in plasma. Emerging risks and best practices are monitored continuously. Our blood and blood products are safe and of quality. We help hospitals improve blood utilization and surveillance. Donors actively support us and our donor base is strong and our volunteers continue to play a critical and meaningful role. When you give blood, you give life. Life for surgical patients, hemophiliacs, accident victims and cancer patients. It may even mean life for you or a family member someday. It’s so easy to do and takes only a few minutes, yet it means so much. What’s Your Blood Type? Everyone has two genes that determine their blood type, it’s passed on from parents to children, just like eye colour. While each parent has two genes, they contribute only one apiece. This process of combination can sometimes lead to children having different blood types than their parents. This chart shows your possible blood type based on the type of your parents. O negative (O-) is the universal donor type, which means it can be transfused to anyone in need. That’s why it’s always in high demand — it’s used in emergency situations when there is no time to test a patient’s blood type. People with AB+ blood are known as universal recipients, meaning they can receive blood from anyone.
