Community mailboxes still a go in Campbell River Kristen DouglAs Campbell RiveR miRRoR

Working through the North Vancouver Island Aboriginal Training Society, Doug Johns and Erick Martin (front and centre) help renovate Campbell River’s extreme weather shelter which Paul Mason (back) of Campbell River Family Services announced has been bought by his organization – for $1 – and is launching a new program to fund its operation.

ampbell River’s innovative extreme-weather shelter is getting noticed as an innovative and effective way to

serve the community’s homeless population. And now, Campbell River Family Services (CRFS) has hit on an innovative way to fund the operation of the moveable shelter which it now owns after buying it for a

dollar from the company that built it. Paul Mason of CRFS fields calls from all over North America about the converted shipping container which has proven to be a success in providing a safe haven

for the community’s street people during bad weather. “In the last two years in Campbell River, nobody has died on the streets,” Mason said. This is an accomplishment and

Canada Post’s plan to halt the replacement of door-to-door delivery with community mailboxes will not affect Campbell River – at least not for now. Monica Judd, president of the Campbell River Local of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers, said there are about 1,000 addresses in Campbell River that still don’t have a community mailbox. Despite the new developments, Judd said those homes will still be losing door-todoor delivery. “Canada Post is saying it’s business as usual and they’ll still be putting those boxes in,” Judd said. “We’re being told probably not until Christmastime because the contractor had to move to Sidney, near Victoria, which went live with the community mailboxes on Oct. 26.” That same day, Canada Post

Shelter: New fundraising idea set for homeless shelter

Continued from Pg. 1

it’s thanks to the converted 40-foot shipping container. For each of the last two winters, from November through March, the container provided warm, secure beds for up to 16 people a night in downtown Campbell River. The container’s future was in some doubt as the lot on which it was located was involved in a land swap and is being developed. The container qualifies for BC Housing support but that is funding only for nights when conditions meet its extremeweather criteria, i.e., temperatures below zero. The rest of the time, the operation of the shelter is funded by CRFS which seeks donations from the community. Well, CRFS is on the hook for the shelter even more now because it is now the proud owner of the shelter. The company that converted it from a shipping container and donated it for use in Campbell River, Shadow Lines Transportation, went a step further this month and sold it to CRFS for a dollar. For legal reasons, the container has to be sold and not given away. Mason quipped that when he was called by Shadow Lines and told they were willing to sell it for a dollar, he dug into his pockets and said he thought he had just about enough change to cover it. Owning the shelter means they can now do with it what they

WOOD STOVES 1x2 & INSERTS

will but it also means money has to be raised to operate it. Each year a Coldest Night of the Year fundraiser is held to generate part of the funds and that will be held in January again this year. But Mason has hit on

a new way of covering the costs of operating the shelter. CRFS is seeking businesses, groups or individuals who are willing to sponsor a room for a season of use. The cost of operating a room in the shelter which provides

two bunk beds and food each day for two people is $6,000 for a season lasting November to March. “Now that we own it, it’s ours,” Mason said. “Every penny will go to the operation of this shelter.”

The shelter has been undergoing some renovation to get it ready for this winter through the help of $15,000 ffrom the city, businesses donating supplies and programs like the North Vancouver Island Aboriginal Training Society providing the workers (who, in return, get experience and develop skills). Any organization or business that wants to sponsor a room can contact Mason at 250287-2421. He is also willing to meet your group and provide a presentation on the shelter. Mason said the shelter was sold to CRFS but he feels it really belongs to the community because that’s who supports it.

“On paper, it belongs to CR Family Services but the community owns it,” he said. Meanwhile, Mason takes calls from people like the emergency response manager of the County of San Mateo, California.

Mailboxes: No reversal for communities that have already switched which don’t have banks, such as Cortes Island and Gold River.

announced it is “temporarily suspending future deployment of the program to convert doorto-door mail delivery to community mailboxes.” Conversions of 460,000 addresses across the country, including those communities tagged for conversion in November and December of this year, will be put on hold. C anada Post was quick to add, however, that those communities – including Campbell River – which have already made the switch will continue to use community mailboxes. “In neighbourhoods where the 10-month internal and community conversion process is complete, customers will collect mail and parcels at their community mailbox,” reads a statement from Canada Post. Still, Judd said the corporation’s announcement that it is suspending its community mail-

Riptide committee decisions questionable Freyja Reed and her family have strong feelings about fish farms. They also love soccer, and by all accounts, Freyja has quite a talent for the game. She’s reportedly hoping to user her soccer skills to secure an education in the form of a post-secondary scholarship. So when Marine Harvest Canada became the sponsor of the Upper Island Riptide soccer program – which runs all eight Tier-2 teams in the region – the family ran into a conflict. They could pretend they are okay with the company’s existence when they are absolutely not and have Freyja continue her ascent in the game, or they could remain true to their values. I suppose there was a third option: relocate their family so she could play somewhere else. Since they had recently relocated to Comox from Sointula in order for Freyja to play at a level she could thrive at, the family came to a negotiated

The news that Canada Post is halting installation of community mailboxes across the country will surely be greeted as good news by many. Opposed by both the union representing postal workers and residents who prize door-to-door delivery, the Crown corporation’s efforts to move towards community boxes was always going to be a tough sell. The conversion program was made more difficult by Canada Post themselves, who, in the face of evidence of widespread theft from the boxes, clamped down on information and went into a shell. While mail delivery is hardly the most important service provided by the federal government and the agencies and corporations under its control, We say: Home the fact that both the delivery shouldn’t Liberals and the NDP be given a blank thought it politically advantageous to halt the cheque installation of community mailboxes speaks to the failure of Canada Post to sell its initiative to the public it serves. Which is not to say that initiative is without merit. Indeed, it’s hard to argue that mail delivery has not decreased in importance since the rise of the internet. The amount of mail has been shrinking for years and will only drop more in years to come. Furthermore, many people already receive mail in community boxes in townhouses and apartments. It’s hardly ridiculous for Canada Post, and the government that owns it, to consider ways to reduce costs – even if it means service will not be the same as 50 years ago, when postal delivery played a much larger role in Canadians’ day-to-day lives. The incoming Liberal government will be expected to keep its promise to protect home delivery. But that shouldn’t entail a blank cheque for a service in need of modernization. -Black Press

Because that would be nonsense. But that’s what the steering committee has done. They have suspended the operations of an entire team because one player and their family doesn’t like their team’s sponsor. Marine Harvest has made it clear that they have no interest in stifling the discussion, and has made no threats to pull funding, so why is the steering committee taking such drastic action? Travis Lulay, in the above example, would likely be fined by the organization for, “Conduct contrary to the terms of your contract, which states…” or something. Maybe if it was an egregious enough statement, or he continued to press the point, he would be cut from the team. But there’s no way the rest of the organization would be punished. Because that would be nonsense. Have I said that already? Good.

It’s not about what you know, it’s about what you do New provincial curriculum explained to SD72 Mike Davies Campbell RiveR miRRoR

Rhona Soutar, director of instruction for school district 72 (SD72) presented the, “what’s changing and what’s staying the same,” of the new provincial K-9 curriculum – currently being implemented in schools province-wide – to the Board of Trustees on Tuesday night. “The reasons behind this redesign are what we’ve been hearing from teachers, what we’ve been hearing from families, what we’ve been hearing from students and what’s going on elsewhere in the world,” Soutar said. “This is not just something we’re doing in B.C., this is something that’s happening everywhere in response to changing economies and societies.” About three or four years ago, Soutar told the board, there was a conversation, provincewide, between educa-

tors and their students, about “what students want from their education,” and the things that stood out were that they wanted their education to have purpose and they wanted it to be personally tailored to their own interests and passions. This curriculum, she said, keeps those goals in mind. “Personalized learning is one of those important things and one of the areas that students were identifying as needing a change,” Soutar said. “There are lots of ways to do this. Essentially, it’s about choice. It’s not about ‘this is the one way, and everybody does it the same way, in the same place, at the same time.’ There’s lots of collabora-

tion and lots of different people involved. It’s all about increasing student engagement.” But they can’t change the entire system, obviously. There are still things that have been taught that will continue to be learned. “While there is change, it is important to know that the foundations – the literacy, the numeracy and the social responsibility pieces – are still the foundation.” The difference, Soutar said, is that while it may still be the foundation, it won’t be the focus. The previous curriculum focused on what the students “know,” having them memorize many, many pieces of specific

information and be able to recall that information on demand, Soutar said, while the new curriculum focuses instead on what the students “do.” “What we’re essentially trying to do is create students who, at the end of their student career, are going to know who they are as thinkers, know who they are as communicators, and know who they are personally, socially and have cultural awareness and know their social responsibilities within that.”

This means there will need to be a shift in assessment strategies, as well. Teachers in the new curriculum will obviously not be able to simply put checkmarks and “X”s on a page beside a student’s answers and then count those checkmarks to determine a mark if the education system isn’t about having a correct answer to a question. Soutar was asked after her presentation for clarification on just how teachers will be evalu-

ing, math, that kind of thing, for getting a sense of where our students are in terms of core competencies?” Kerr asked. “Absolutely,” Soutar said. “We don’t yet know for sure, what the provincial assessments are going to look like, but they have been clear that they are still going to hold literacy and numeracy as being foundational and that’s not going to go anywhere.” For more on the new curriculum, visit curriculum.gov.bc.ca

Riptide U-15 girls program ‘paused’ Mike Davies Campbell RiveR miRRoR

It’s not what soccer player Freyja Reed, 14, and her mother, Anissa, wanted to have happen – but they won’t apologize for standing up for what they believe. That’s the message from the Reed family to both Freyja’s teammates and the community at large after the U-15 program – which serves Campbell River, Comox Valley and North Island players – was “paused” until further notice by the organization’s steering committee last weekend. “We have had to pause our 2001 Girls’ team events due to continued

Goaltender Freyja Reed is at the centre of a controversy after the activities of the Riptide U-15 Girls soccer squad were ‘paused’ by the organization’s steering committee.

breach of our organization’s code of conduct by the Reed family, and our concern for the privacy and safety of our club’s players, parents, and volunteers,” committee member Sean Arbour told the CBC after team operations were suspended.

The “conduct by the Reed family,” in question is their outspoken opposition to the program’s acceptance of sponsorship by Marine Harvest Canada, B.C.’s largest operator of open-net fish farms – a practice the family strongly believes is harmful to the ecology

of our coastal waters. The Upper Island Riptide and Marine Harvest Canada announced their sponsorship partnership in late August of this year, after the teams were formed. The Reeds have said they would not have joined the organization had they known it

would be sponsored by a company whose very existence they oppose. Once they spoke out about the sponsorship – which included a Facebook page devoted to their opposition – they were told they could have their fees back and find another club to play for. Since the next nearest Tier-2 club would be in more than an hour away, and the family had recently relocated to the Comox Valley from Sointula with the primary purpose of giving Freyja a better opportunity to develop in soccer, they instead came to an agreement with the team that Freyja would not be forced to wear the Marine Harvest logo on her jersey or sell salmon at the team’s fundraisers. But the Reeds were also asked, under this agreement, to stop their “sideline chatter” and social media discussions on the subject. The family balked at that aspect of the agreement, describing it as a “gag order.” For its part, Marine Harvest spokesperson Ian Roberts says that Marine Harvest’s donations to community groups “have not, and will not, and will never, direct a recipient’s right to voice their opinions or their ability to speak freely,” adding that, “the Upper Island Riptide has advised Marine Harvest that its sponsorship decision and subsequent disagreement with one member’s family is an internal matter between the club and the family.” “The company provides support to local c om mu n it y g roup s unconditionally, and does not influence or provide any direction whatsoever to sponsorship recipients,” Roberts says. The U-15 girls team was still undefeated on the year at the time of the suspension of operations.

Quadra to debate use MODEL CLEAROUT of shipping containers is on at NORTH ISLAND NISSAN 2015

KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A public hearing will be held next month to help determine whether or not the Strathcona Regional District should crack down on the use of shipping containers on Quadra Island. The meeting is scheduled for Monday, Nov. 16 at the Quadra Community Centre. Up for discussion is whether shipping containers should be prohibited in all zones other than Industrial One and Industrial Two. Jim Abram, director for Area C, requested a review of the containers on the island because of the absence of a bylaw regulating their use. “The concern is that shipping containers can be unsightly and may be more frequently sited in the area as they become readily available at a relatively low cost,” wrote Victoria Smith, planner for the regional district,

in a report to the regional district board. “This may lead to conflict within the community about property standards and the need to preserve rural scenic amenity.” She said that shipping containers are increasingly being used as a lowcost option for storage in residential areas and even has dwellings in some cases. Smith pointed out that in recent years, a number of municipalities across B.C. have restricted shipping containers to industrial and occasionally, commercial zones. The City of Campbell River discussed the issue at length for several months in 2013, before council decided to leave the issue alone following strong opposition. City staff had recommended banning shipping containers from commercial and residential properties, except in the case of construction or a review by city hall. Cortes Island Director

Noba Anderson agreed last week that the shipping container debate should be left alone. “I understand this is coming from Quadra and I will always support a public hearing and I will support the will of a community but I’ve just got to say, that this is nuts,” Anderson said at last week’s regional district board meeting. “This is far beyond anything I think Cortes would feel comfortable with and I know we live in different communities so I will defer to Quadra but I think regulating the use of shipping containers – I’d rather not see it.” If the regulation does go through, Industrial One and Industrial Two zones would be exempt. In those zones, two containers would be permitted provided they are not stacked. The public hearing will be held immediately following a public hearing at 7 p.m. for an unrelated rezoning bylaw application.

Slapshot

Vancouver Island Seals forward Paige Chapdelaine fires one on Kootenay Wild goaltender Catalina Hartland during Saturday’s game at the Brindy. Despite the loss Saturday, the AAA Midget girls walked away from the three-game weekend series with four of a possible six points, having won on Friday night and putting in a phenomenal bounce-back performance in a 4-0 win Sunday morning.

Carihi secure North Island title

Carihi Junior Boys Soccer team successfully defended their North Island Championship this past week. League play had seen Carihi finish as the top seed winning all six of their games. The championship saw the Carihi squad “beefed up” to a healthy 17 with four additions from the developing “B” team. The first game was against GP Vanier. The first half saw an under par performance from the Tyees. However, despite not being on their best game, the Carihi Tyees still held their own. After a misplayed pass by a Vanier defender, Alec Weinstein, the left

defender for Carihi, intercepted the pass and quickly gave it to Josh Rolland. Rolland smashed a shot first time into the top right corner for the first goal. Half time arrived with the Tyees holding a two goal lead. Discussion centred upon the need for a quicker pace and more intelligent use of the ball. The team clearly listened well and put in a much better second half performance. This improvement was led by Jeffrey Lindenbach, a player that had not originally been on the “A” team. His 20 minute performance was outstanding and really helped the Tyees push on. Carihi finished the

game off in strong fashion earning a 5-0 win. Day 2 The second day of the Championship saw Carihi start bright and early for their game against Ladysmith. After two fine strikes by Eugene Park, coach John Jepson pulled off the back line of Shohei Iwamoto, Jack Crosby, John Samuels and Weinstein so they could rest before the next game. Although all the starting back line was not playing, Ladysmith could not get past the formidable Carihi’s second line of defence Jonah Shankar, Joseph Dirom, Andrew Daniels and Brady Assu. Half time saw Carihi with a four goal lead and

the focus for the second half was to be possession and movement off the ball. The final score was 5-0 Carihi. The final In the other group, Dover Bay powered past Highland and Brooks before the more difficulty game against the talented Mark Isfeld team. Dover did however prevail with a 1-0 . The North Island Final was set and not for the first time a Carihi team would take on the might of Dover Bay in a Championship Final. Carihi dominated the possession of the ball from the onse. Despite enjoying the possession they were struggling to get the

breakthrough. A few changes were made with Park dropping into midfield and Hall playing a more forward role. Perhaps the most significant was the decision to move central defender Samuels upfront to change the dynamic. It wasn’t long before Samuels was provided with a great through ball to run onto. Using all his speed he ran on to the pass and slid into the ball to tap it into the goal. With the score 1-0, the second half commenced and Carihi knew they would have to keep up the good work. Carihi went in search of the second goal. It was to come in the shape of a Penalty

Riptide U14 Boys unlock Cowichan in 8-0 drubbing U14 Boys Riptide dominated Cowichan 8-0 with goalkeeper Delton Kruell achieving another shutout on Sunday. “Good performance by the lads,” Coach Stephen Hall said. “Today we saw us utilize our pace and superior passing skills to unlock the oppositions defence. Some great give and goes in the attacking

third of the pitch enabled us to get loads of scoring chances. Another shut out for our squad and some solid efforts from our back four and holding mid fielders.” The Riptide’s rotating defenders (Jakob Tortorelli, Brayden Hues, Scott Gilfillan, Joshua Kalhous, Macyn Leopkey Johnson) and rotating holding midfielders (Sam Purcell, Andrew

Petrovcic, Cameron Bell) continuously intercepted Cowichan advances and quickly transitioned from defensive play to attacking. The first half of the game saw the Marine Harvest U14 Boys score three goals. The first goal was from Alonso Cortez and the next two were scored by Spencer Fleming. Fergus Hall made the assists for all threegoals.

Don Daniels

Remarkable weather continues in the Campbell River area and while the long hot summer days are over the locals are still fishing to some degree. Some lodge owners will regroup for the 2016 fishing season and could possibly even downsize. In some cases, like Rogers fishing charters, they may run fewer boats to give customers a better quality fishing experience. Charter boats start fishing the second week of May but some boats have clients coming in a little bit earlier and some even get out in late September and even into October. I am also hearing that Painters Lodge will start the fishing season a little earlier in 2016. As we head into the month of November many boats have been pulled out of the water and those still fishing know the location and the tides and get in and out with fish. Last Sunday I had a chance to get out to Browns Bay and talk with Brent Hollink. This year’s chum derby was called off and things

were quiet around the area. Those chum catches from the Friday and Saturday were reported at about 240 fish caught and a 15.75 pounder was the largest chum reported. Those fishing on their own were reporting catches of between 8 and 14 pounds. Winter springs are around and the coho are still in the area. The Campbell River has a few anglers targeting coho and the odd chum has been hooked. A number of Europeans fish in the area in late fall and a number of dark

A total of 14,187 Fraser Valley rainbow trout have been released on Vancouver Island lakes and on Oct. 20, 1,000 trout were released in Maple Lake and 3,000 trout released in Spider Lake. Trout released are catchable size between 223 and 231 grams. I am still looking for a carry over fish from last year and I have reports of sizes going to three pounds. I have a few go-to flies that usually get trout for me and I switched over to a deer hair pattern when the action was slow and I had instant success. Water temperature is still around 15 degrees C.
