We all remember the record dry summer we had with no snow melt, Vancouver Island rivers so low they were closed to angling in order to protect fish stocks, Island communities so dry they instigated high level water restrictions, and water in the Upper Campbell Reservoir so low it dipped to below the lip of the Strathcona Dam intake. All of it symptomatic of a bona fide drought. Right? Well, maybe not. In the end, BC Hydro’s water supply year – running from October to September – for

about the wet winter. You can thank the storms from October 2014 to March 2015, according to BC Hydro’s John Hart Generating Station Replacement Project October newsletter for the better than averge water year. That’s
when most of the water in the system came in the form of rainstorms. “The past 12 months were a tale of two extremes that, combined, resulted in nearly average water year,” the newsletter reports. The graph above shows
the past 12 water months with the red lines being average and blue being actual. BC Hydro expects to have to deal with various weather conditions at the John Hart site such as site water treatment and run-off from storms, to
dust control. I n B C H y d r o’s 2014/2015 water supply year, InPower BC successfully dealt with record wet to record dry within a 12-month period. BC Hydro’s records go back about 50 years.
“Through the years of declining enrolment, we’ve had a very resourceful maintenance staff that have been able to basically use parts and pieces to keep our
classroom furniture inventory going,” Kevin Patrick, secretary treasurer of the school district told the board last week. “We are at the end of that. The cupboards
are bare. The impact is showing in classrooms in terms of the condition of the furniture that’s being maintained.” Patrick told the board they have a small amount set aside for this purpose, but because of the years of not having those funds available and relying on staff to just piece things back together as best they
could, “it’s not enough to have a meaningful impact.” He says the amount of money in the budget for furniture would be just enough to maintain it but it has deteriorated too much. Once they replace the furniture, the previously budgeted amount will be enough to maintain it.

Halloween at the museum
The Museum at Campbell River was a popular place with many kids in costumes on Saturday afternoon. There was face painting and crafts and the museum scenes were dressed up in Halloween themes like (clockwise from bottom left) the old logging truck which saw a scarecrow chauffeuring a ghostly princess; the bunkhouse haunted by ghosts; and the witch that had taken up residence in the pioneer cabin. Then there was Capt. George Vancouver lurking in the exhibits... AlistAir tAylor/CAmpbell river mirror

Whalley hopes to retain spot on MIFLAG KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
3x7 tidemark volunteers PROCESS
VOLUNTEER ORIENTATION: SATURDAY, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER NOVEMBER 14,8TH 2015 • 10AM • 10AM - 12PM - 12PM
A Strathcona Regional District director is “confident” he will be reinstated to the forestry board he was told he is no longer welcome on. Area A Director Gerald Whalley said Wednesday that Western Forest Products has requested a meeting between Whalley, regional district staff and top executives at the forestry company. “I’m looking forward to resolving this issue,” Whalley said. “I’m confident I will be back on the board.” The board Whalley is referring to is the Mid Island Forestry Lands Advisory Group (MIFLAG) which advises Western Forest Products on sustainable forest management. At its last meeting, on Sept. 22, Whalley was told to leave meeting – which was held at the Menzies forestry office – and to not come back. Whalley said he angered the foresters by appealing Western’s clean audit following a vote at a previous meeting, on July 28, related to Western Forest Products’ application of herbicides in the Sayward Valley. Whalley said a motion to allow Western to increase its allowable use of herbicides by three times was declared carried following a vote of six in favour and four opposed. Whalley contests that it should have failed according to MIFLAG’s terms of reference which states
that, “decisions which must be made by MIFLAG are done by consensus building techniques where consensus is deemed to be ‘no strong opposition.’” Whalley said the group’s actions caused him to question the audit at the Sept. 22 meeting and the foresters grew angry and told him to leave. Following that meeting, Jeff Ternan, operations manager for Western, wrote to the Strathcona Regional District relaying that “in light of recent events, Gerald Whalley is no longer welcome to participate in, or attend any further MIFLAG meetings or functions.” MIFLAG then scheduled a special meeting for Tuesday, Oct. 27. Whalley said Wednesday that the meeting was cancelled once MIFLAG was notified that the regional district would be sending Whalley to the meeting as well as Cortes Director Noba Anderson in the event Whalley was escorted off the premises. The day prior to the scheduled meeting, Whalley said Western Forest Products wrote the letter to regional district Chair Jim Abram, requesting the meeting between Whalley, and staff at the regional district and Western Forest Products. Amy Spencer, director of communications and government relations with Western Forest Products, told the Mirror last Monday that Western is committed to resolving the issue. “We are looking into this issue
to determine that due process was followed by all parties involved,” Spencer said. “We are confident that we will find a mutually agreeable outcome to this situation.” Whalley said he believes the fact the regional district stood its ground and rallied behind him has something to do with the MIFLAG meeting being cancelled. Abram wrote a letter to MIFLAG following Whalley’s dismissal from the advisory group’s meeting taking the foresters to task for their actions. “I have never encountered any company that has dismissed a member appointed by another agency, solely due to the fact that they disagree with the company’s views on silviculture,” Abrams wrote. “Advisory groups are put in place to give advice. You can take that advice or not, but dismissal of an appointee because of that advice is totally inappropriate. Every member of MIFLAG must be free to discuss and to vote as they wish on these issues without hostility or intimidations.” Whalley has been appointed in each of the last seven years as the Strathcona Regional District’s representative on the MIFLAG committee. Appointments come up each December and as the mid-island forest operations lie within Area A, Whalley has been the logical choice. Whalley also ran the silviculture program with both MacMillan Bloedel and Weyerhaeuser forestry companies.

Council still supports bike park KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
A
mountain bike skills park has jumped one hurdle closer to reality after city council gave its support for the facility Monday night. Council approved a referral process that will assess the development of such a facility at Willow Point Park, between Alder Street and the Sportsplex skateboard park. If there are no concerns identified during the process, the city will prepare a Licence of Occupation Agreement to allow the Bike Park Society use of the city land. The society intends to build a park for beginner and intermediate riders with dirt jumps, practice trails, some obstacles, teeter-totters and wooden features such as bridges. The society presented its proposal to the public during a consultation session Sept. 24 at the Sportsplex. Beth Pechter, one of two co-founders of the bike park society, told council at its Monday night meeting that support for the park was high. “Twenty individuals supported the project and the location. They were thrilled with having a bike park in their community and they were really, really excited and supported us overall,” Pechter said. “Two individuals initially had concerns with noise but after receiving all of the information were satisfied with the plan.” Pechter said the park will only be open during daylight hours, the facility will not be lit, and will not have any speakers. Plans also call for bushes and split cedar fencing to act as a barrier between the skills park and Alder Street. While the majority of council supported the location, Coun. Larry Samson was the lone

councillor to oppose the Sportsplex site. “I don’t believe this is the right spot,” Samson said. “I have supported the mountain bike skills park but I believe this area is too tight. “Unless we can challenge the bikers, they’re soon going to get tired going over the six tracks, just going back and forth, so I think, rather than doing a project on a small scale, I think we should do something bigger.
“
THEY SAID IT: “This group has...done everything they needed to do, over and over again.” – Coun. Ron Kerr
There’s properties like the McPhedran Road property the School District has, there’s the Holm Road reservoir next to the Couverdon property,” Samson added. “I think there’s other properties better suited to put in a much higher class bike park.” Coun. Marlene Wright said while she supported the bike park, she had the same concerns as Samson. “I feel it’s really restricted,” Wright said. “If it’s too small and too restricted in the location, then we don’t really look to a successful future because we’ll be be looking for something more very shortly.”

Mayor Andy Adams said while he too was at first skeptical of the site, he changed his mind after learning the park is focused on the training aspect, to have a hands-on facility to complement the bike park society’s SprocKids classroom program. “This is more of a training facility to provide mountain biking youth and adults in our community with the skills before putting them out in the bush and ending up in emerge,” said Adams who noted that there are more advanced trails readily available in the Snowden Demonstration Forest. Coun. Ron Kerr urged council to support the park and the members of the society who have been working to bring the facility to the community since 2011. “This group has jumped through every hoop so far, jumped every hill, done everything they needed to do, over and over again,” Kerr said. “We previously approved this, this support for them, and I can’t see pulling it out from under them at this point.” Council did, in fact, approve developing a mountain bike facility on a 3.2 acre site adjacent to the Beaver Lodge Lands on Dogwood Street in June of
2014. Things fell apart, however, after complaints from neighbours near the proposed site and the discovery that the land was not owned by the city. Not to be deterred, the society came back to council with a new location in August, prior to the public consultation session. Wendy Ravai, the other co-founder of the skills park society, told council Aug. 24 that the Sportsplex is the ideal location because there are already washrooms, parking and garbage cans on site, it’s central to the community, and it works with other activities offered at the Sportsplex. The location now has to make it through the city’s review process, which means the concept will be referred to the city’s parks and recreation, utilities, and roads departments as well as external agencies such as BC Hydro, Fortis, and Shaw.

Halloween is not about anything A LIMB
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. That’s an expression worth remembering now — and as we get closer to the busy shopping season, a time when what we might receive at Christmas starts to cloud our minds. In fact, it’s something everyone, of any age, should have etched into their brains, as incidents of fraud and scams press on, seemingly unabated. That may sound a tad harsh or pessimistic. It should be a good thing if someone steps up and wants to hand over thousands of dollars — or a bridge — for seemingly no reason. Or at least for no reason a person would reasonably expect to have anything to do with them. Unfortunately, windfalls like that are usually pipe dreams. Whether it’s greed, a simple feeling of not wanting to upset people or for some other reason, folks fall for scams all the time. And so, the scammers We say: Enough keep calling, emailing will never be and writing, hoping for a response — just enough enough for the to encourage the behavprovince’s taxman iour. And once a person and their money are parted, it’s exceedingly difficult for the authorities to get it back. Yet, police and financial institutions fight hard to try to prevent scams and the people who run them from taking advantage of people. Even so, we cannot rely on them. Individuals must be on guard — for the day will come when someone will try to weasel our hard-earned cash from our pockets. When that happens, and the whole thing makes you curious or uncomfortable, just ask questions. Ask them who they are. Ask for their phone number. Ask for their boss. And then ask to phone them back. And if you are still not feeling good about it, just hang up. It’s the equivalent of walking away from panhandlers on the street. Police continually tell us the best way to find out if something is a scam or not, is to call the agency purported to be offering the windfall. Contact them directly and ask if the offer is on the up and up. Most times, if it’s a bank or Canada Revenue Agency, they’ll tell you it’s a scam and you should ignore it. There are people out there who want to separate us from our money for nasty reasons. It’s up to us to know the difference between them and the legitimately good people out there. Sometimes, all it takes to be sure is to ask. -Black Press

The good thing about Halloween is that it’s not really about anything and no one credo can claim it as their own and therefore dictate how we’re supposed to mark the occasion. We can do whatever we want with it. If somebody wants to dress up as Peter Mansbridge – talk about scary – then let him (somebody I know actually did that). If you wanna be a witch. Then you be one. Its not about satanism or devil worship. If you’re doing that kind of thing then go away. It’s just about a crazy vague sort of celebration that could have roots in the depths of our culture or it might have something to do with remembering our dearly departed family members, friends, and people in our community, some of them saints. Fine. There’s room for everybody in Halloween. Now, where did I put my broom? I have chores to do.

Mount Washington Alpine Resort sold to Utah-based group Owners retire from ski business after 25 years at the helm
On Tuesday, Vancouver Island’s Mount Washington Ski Resort, Ltd. (MWSR) announced the sale of all of the ski and recreational operations of the resort to a subsidiary of Pacific Group Resorts, Inc. (PGRI), a multi resort holding company headquartered in Park City, Utah. The sale also includes most of the development land near and around the base of the resort. The current ownership group will retain two prime development parcels. “Over the past 25 years, George Stuart and his ownership group have invested a tremendous amount of money and energy into Mount Washington,” noted Peter Gibson, president and general manager of Mount Washington Alpine Resort. “We are indebted to them for what they have helped us build here. Now it’s their time to retire from the ski business, and we’re pretty pleased with the group they have chosen
to sell to.” Mount Washington will be the fourth resort in Pacific Group Resort’s current portfolio. Gibson commented, “We are looking forward to working with PGRI to take Mount Washington to the next level with improvements like snowmaking w here they have a strong background.” PGRI’s other resorts are in the eastern U.S. and have virtually

group. They are industry pros, and we’re proud to have them join our team.” Fischer said he expected the staff and daily ops would remain largely unchanged from previous years. “We’ve been working on this transition for a number of years now,” added Gibson. “And, in addition to our own internal efforts, we owe a bit of thanks to some government staffers who helped us sort through permits and processes for the transfer. Truthfully, they’ve been great to work with.”
Mount Washington Alpine Resort has been sold to Pacific Group Resorts, Inc. of Park City, Utah.

Riptide and Reed family part ways after sponsorship dispute TERRY FARRELL/ EARLE COUPER COMOX VALLEY RECORD
T
he Marine Harvest Upper Island Riptide soccer association has severed ties with a goalie in its U-15 girls’ soccer program, after a dispute regarding sponsorship spiralled out of control. Goalkeeper Freyja Reed, and her mother, Anissa, are both opponents of fish farming and upon hearing of the soccer association’s sponsorship deal with Campbell River-based Marine Harvest, Anissa sent an email to the Upper Island Riptide, insisting that her daughter would not wear the Marine Harvest logo and asking for details of the sponsorship deal. The Riptide replied four days later, outlining the sponsorship deal, and offering a full refund of Freyja’s registration money. Rather than take the offer, the Reeds agreed to discuss the impasse with the association, at which time both sides agreed to a set of rules.
Compromise agreed upon by both sides The Reeds agreed to stop the derogatory comments made towards Marine Harvest on the sidelines at Riptide games, as well as cease all derogatory comments made regarding the Riptide/Marine Harvest relationship online. In return, the Riptide agreed to allow Freyja to continue and she would not have to wear any Riptide gear displaying Marine Harvest on it for the 2015-2016 season. The Riptide also acknowledged that Freyja had not consented to the Riptide media release and as such, would not be used in any future press releases (i.e. game recaps, photos, etc.). The Riptide also agreed that neither Freyja nor Anissa would be asked to participate in any Riptide fundraisers that involve Marine Harvest. The agreement was adhered to by both sides, until the Reeds broke their silence in a national media inter-
ter, Anissa said. While saying she cares about the people she was on the team with, Freyja added there was “definitely very little support at the meeting that was supposed to be to find a solution. “When we tried to speak they wanted to put a time limit on what we had to say because (they said) it was for them. “It felt like they wanted everyone to hate us. It was real difficult to be there and try to talk when you’re just being shut down.”
Next thing I heard was from CBC National, saying that … a player was being muzzled and was Marine Harvest doing the muzzling. “I was shocked.” Arbour said his only motive behind attaining Marine Harvest as a corporate sponsor was for the benefit and ongoing progression of the soccer club. “Hindsight is 20/20, but to be honest, if I had Goaltender Freyja Reed was at the centre of a controversy after the the chance to do this activities of the Riptide U-15 Girls soccer squad were ‘paused’ by all over again, I would,” the organization’s steering committee.

You’re lookin’ swell, Dolly T h e at re v e t e r a n s Judith McFarlane and Stan Leete are excited to be part of the Shoreline Musical Theatre team bringing Hello, Dolly! to the Tidemark Theatre. McFarlane will be playing the title role of matchmaker, Dolly Levi. Dolly has been hired to find a wife for cranky millionaire, Horace Vandergelder (Leete). She doesn’t stop there, though, and is happy to meddle in the relationships of a number of other characters, resulting in lots of laughs and general mayhem. Hello, Dolly! is the musical version of the Thornton Wilder play, The Matchmaker. Both McFarlane and Leete bring considerable experience to the stage. McFarlane has been acting since her high school days, and has been in most of Shorel i ne’s pro du c t i ons , including its first – “Oklahoma!”. “I’d been on hiatus for a few years,” said McFarlane. “I’d wanted to give it a go, but I was too busy.

Voices in remembrance Remembrance Day can mean many different things to people. For Island Voices Chamber Choir, under the direction of Jenn Forsland, it is a chance, once again, to present a concert of thoughtful music and emotional readings honouring those affected by war. This concert will also feature the Campbell River Children’s Choir under the direction of Barbara Prowse. Throughout the concert, local actors will read from personal and family accounts of war collected from the community. Conductor Forsland has chosen a wide variety of moving repertoire to guide a thoughtful reflection of the realities of war. All That They Had They Gave was written to honour those who fought in World War I, with the text pulled from Rudyard Kipling’s “The King’s Pilgrimage”(1922). The audience will hear a gorgeous setting by Eleanor Daley of the familiar In Flanders
Canadian country star Brett Kissel is coming to Campbell River Nov. 14.
Brett Kissel brings airwaves
The Island Voices choir presents a special Remembrance Day concert on Nov. 11.
Fields as well as Homeward Bound by Martha Keen, an anthem for soldiers returning home from war. A text from Mother Theresa is exquisitely rendered in Prayer by Rene Clausen. A Cuban sacred chant, a Spanish blessing, How Lovely are the Messengers composed by Felix Mendelssohn, and Graeme Langager’s prize winning interpretation
of Gaudium Vestru Sit Plenum will be sure to stir the emotions. The Campbell River Children’s choir River choir and the smaller Zephyr choir will sing After the War, a touching love song, by Paul Gross and David Keele which was featured in the film ‘Passchendaele’, Alleluia Incantation by Andrew Miller, and Epitaph composed by Malcolm Dalglish
It’s tempting to describe the chorus of Brett Kissel’s latest smash single, Airwaves, as what’s gotten him to this point, but that barely scratches the surface of the artistic growth Kissel displays on his new album, Pick Me Up. The pride of Flat Lake, Alberta has already reached a place very few other Canadian country music artists have attained, but defying the odds has been Kissel’s mission his entire life, the result of a tireless work ethic instilled while growing up on his family’s farm. Following the incredible success of his 2013 major label debut, Started With A Song, Pick
with poetry by Wendell Berry. The Zephyr choir and Island Voicestogether will sing the familiar Irish Blessing, arranged by Katie Moran Bart. The Campbell River Concert is at 7 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 11 at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church, 34 South Alder Street. Entrance is by donation. For more information visit, www.islandvoiceschamberchoir.bc.ca or call 250-285-3560. Island Voices will also be performing at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 11, at St. George’s United Church, 505 6th
Me Up shows that Kissel is hitting his stride. For the new album, Kissel once again teamed up with CCMA Awardwinner Bart McKay, as well as one of country music’s premier producers Mickey Jack Cones (Jason Aldean, Trace Adkins). The common thread was not an attempt to replicate the success of its predecessor, but to have the results reflect Kissel’s unstoppable drive to make his music bigger and better. “There’s no other place I prefer to be than on stage,” Kissel says. “With all of the shows we did for the last album, we were totally prepared as a

band when we went into the studio to cut the new material, and determined to exceed the fans’ expectations. Looking back, I might have been preparing for it even while we were finishing the last album, knowing that the next one needed to have more energy.” It’s clear that rationale was behind the choice of Airwaves to be Pick Me Up’s first single, as the song established itself as a fan favourite after only a few live outings. Building on that kind of feedback from his audience has always been important to Kissel, and he takes a lot of pride in being one of the most active Canadian country artists on social media. It’s all fuelled his efforts to expand and enhance his live show, something that kicked into high gear once he hit the road in the fall of 2014 as special guest on multiple Grammy & CMA award winner Brad Paisley’s cross-Canada tour. Pick Me Up displays how far Kissel has come as a singer and songwriter, most evident on tracks such as I Didn’t Fall In Love With Your Hair, a tribute to his mother, a multiple cancer survivor, as well as I Can Play Guitar, containing playful insights of life on the Brad Paisley tour, and Come Pick Me Up, a poignant rumination on a failed relationship. Kissel, with special guest Jordan McIntosh, will be at the Tidemark Theatre on Nov.14. Tickets are $38.50 for members and $43.25 for nnon members (plus applicable taxes & fees) and can be purchased at the Box Office on Tuesday or Friday between 12 p.m. and 4 p.m. Tickets are also available online at www.tidemarktheatre. com

She followed the love of her life as he served in the military for 28 years. Over that time she made many friends that to this day remember her kindness and her giving heart. She had too many jobs to list, she was an inspiration and she was never one to shy away from a challenging job. Charlie and Bob settled in Port Hardy when Bob retired; the town a place they never wished to leave. She was a member of the Royal Canadian Legion there, and many will attest to the wonderful meals she prepared. She also helped with the Canadian Cancer Society. society. Her tradition of handing out Christmooses at Christmas will be missed.

Island Funeral Services
February 20, 1925 - October 2, 2015
It is with great sadness that we announce the death of our Dear Mother “Winnie”, as she was affectionately known by friends and family. She was born on February 20, 1925 to Albert and Lucy “Edith” Fulton in the community of Lund, just outside of Powell River, B.C., but spent most of her life on Vancouver Island, the majority of it in Campbell River. She was known as a faithful, caring, and generous wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, who loved her family dearly, and did so much throughout her life in the service of others. Because of the wonderful Christian example she set in so many ways, she was dearly loved in return by her family and all of the many friends and acquaintances she made throughout her 90 years of life. She will be sorely missed by all who had the privilege to know her. In total, Winnie was blessed with 6 children, 14 grandchildren, and 20 great-grandchildren. Winnie was predeceased by her first husband Sydney Ashdown, her second husband Ben Reavill, her first daughter Laura and her sons-in-law Melvin Hamilton, Clayden Parks, and Vic Loffler. She leaves behind her remaining three daughters Lana, (Mandry) Hudema, Linda Lee (Loffler), and Lorna (Parks), also her son and daughter-in-law, Roy and Anna Ashdown, her son David Ashdown and her grandchildren and great-grand children. Her family would like to thank the homecare nursing team members who came to help with her care when she was still living at home, and also the dedicated and caring management and staff of Evergreen Seniors Home, who cared for Mom in her final months. A Memorial Service will be held at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses, 1935 Evergreen Road, Campbell River, at 2:00 p.m., Saturday, November 7th, 2015, followed by light refreshments served at the same location. All who knew and loved Winnie are invited to join her family for this occasion.

ĔĜĆėĉ ĆėĉĎēČ Howard passed away peacefully on October 17, 2015 at the Campbell River Hospital after a brave battle with cancer. Taken away from us too soon, he would have been 70 years old in January 2016. Left to mourn are his wife Elizabeth, son Stewart (Emily), daughter Cynthia, sisters Stephanie (John), Carol (Ben), Nancy (Russ), Senga (Larry), nephews, nieces and in-laws. Born in Salisbury England, he spent his early childhood cared for by nannies and playing occasionally around the stones of Stonehenge. At age 6 he came with his family to Canada, spending a brief time on a farm in Saskatchewan and then spent many years in Telkwa, near Smithers, BC. At the age of 19 he went to UBC to procure a B.Sc. in Physics and held summer jobs in mining exploration. It was at UBC that he met his wife, Elizabeth, whom he married shortly thereafter. He subsequently worked as a junior engineer at the pulp mill in Prince Rupert, then began his teaching career. He taught for many years in Port Hardy and Campbell River – mainly math, science, computer science, drafting, woodwork and metalwork. He later obtained a M.Ed. in Administration. Retirement found many joys including building a large workshop, travelling, hiking the great outdoors, and walking his dog Jake. He loved mechanics, construction, discussions, and was friendly to everyone. The family would like to thank Father Jan Grotkowski, and Dr. Gunther Klein and all medical personnel involved in his care. In lieu of flowers please consider donating blood. A Funeral Mass will be held at St. Patrick’s Parish on November 6, 2015 at 12 noon with burial to follow at Elk Falls Cemetery.

School District 72 Superintendent Tom Longridge and Secretary-Treasurer Kevin Patrick presented the Board of Trustees with a report last week which will spur an in-depth, critical look at the district’s facilities, likely followed by some tough, unpleasant decisions about school closures.
“This (report) came out of the strategic planning process, and one of the key areas in the district in the plan was enhanced facilities for learning. We know that our facilities are closely related to how students perform in school and we want to look at always giving our students the best opportunities for learning,” said Longridge during the introduction to the Facility Review

Public Notice
Council Procedure Bylaw 416, 2015 Notice of Intent that the Council for the Village of Sayward intends to repeal Council Procedure Bylaw No. 308, 2011 and replace it with Bylaw No. 416, 2015 pursuant to sections 94 and 124 of the Community Charter.
2x3.5 village of sayward
Proposed changes in general terms include the clarification of the Corporate Officer definition; the update of the definition of “public notice posting places”; clarification of Council meeting schedules; addition of recording negative votes at all Council meetings; clarification of delegations to Council meetings; change from “unanimous” vote to a “majority” to add a delegation to the agenda; change from 12 hour notice of a Committee of the Whole meeting to 24 hour notice; deletion of Commissions from the bylaw and other miscellaneous changes to provide for greater clarity. Bylaw No. 416, 2015 received three readings at the August 11, 2015 Regular Council Meeting; with adoption scheduled to occur at the November 17, 2015 Regular Council Meeting. A copy of the bylaw can be viewed at the Village of Sayward municipal office, located on the 652 H’Kusam Way, Sayward BC, during regular office hours, 8:30 am to 4:00 pm, Monday to Friday, excluding statutory holidays.

report they were about to present. The goal of the Facility Review is, Longridge said, “to develop a long term strategy for our facilities, taking into account district challenges and demographics. We have to look at the reality of our buildings and we’ve got to look at the population in our community and that our population has decreased significantly over the past number of years.” The last facility review was performed in 2001, Patrick told the board, and since that review was completed, there have been a lot of changes within the district. “There are new neigh-
bourhoods, there has been shifting and migration of people from some school neighbourhoods to other neighbourhoods, and there has been quite a significant decline in enrolment.” Capital funding from the government, Patrick said, is contingent on the district making the best possible utilization of space, and, simply put, that’s not what is happening now. According to the report, 69 of the 175 classrooms in the district’s elementary and middle schools are sitting empty, meaning 39 per cent of the classroom area within the district is considered “surplus.” Another part of the “One call, and we’ll do it all”

report, the Facility Condition Assessment, produced by an independent entity that reports to the Ministry of Education, shows that the facilities in the district are also aging and in poor condition. “Our maintenance crews will do their best to get out there and maintain our facilities, but it’s not just paint. It’s not just appearance,” Patrick said. “This goes into ‘how old is the mechanical system? When are we going to have to replace the boilers? When are we going to have to do the lights?’” There are, in fact, many facilities in the district that would cost less to rebuild altogether than to continue to maintain, Patrick said. “Whether the School District likes it or not, it’s something the Ministry (of Education) looks at,” Patrick said. “When you put in a request for funding, for major renovations, for capital, they will look at the condition of the facility – they don’t want to be investing in an electrical upgrade when the whole building needs to be replaced – as well as looking at empty
classrooms,” Patrick said. “If you’ve got two schools with very empty classrooms, and you need to rebuild both, they likely will suggest to rebuild one.” Essentially, the Ministry of Education wants to maximize their return on investment, and right now, they’re likely not getting enough bang for their buck in School District 72 in terms of capital funding. In the end, it was decided to perform an in-depth facilities review to try and establish the best course of action to address this issue. “It comes down to this: We’re building for the future, and having lost a couple thousand students over the last ten years, to stand by idly and say, ‘maybe we’ll grow back…’ well, things can’t just keep going the way they are,” Trustee Daryl Hagen said after the presentation. “Hard decisions are going to have to be made,” but added that he wants to get as much input from as many people as possible before those decisions are made. Trustee John Kerr agreed. “That surplus of space
costs us money to maintain, and that money comes from an envelope that we receive from the Ministry of Education, and if that money is going to maintain old buildings and replace old systems, that money doesn’t go directly towards student learning,” Kerr said. “When we look at decisions we’re going to have to make down the road about these facilities it all comes back to enhancing student learning, and if we’re robbing Peter to pay Paul to keep surplus facilities from falling down, that has an impact on student learning.” “It’s not like this has caught us off guard,” Hagen added. “I mean, we have closed schools. Maple School, Evergreen School, Campbellton school. We’re always trying to do the best we can, and now we need to make some more decisions.” “It’s time,” board chair Susan Wilson agreed. The in-depth facility plan is to be drawn up and presented at the next public meeting of the Board of Trustees on Nov. 17 at 7:30 at the SD72 office on Pinecrest Road.

Pumpkins raise $1,800 to end polio
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 2015 | CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR MIRROR || 23 23

L
ast Friday the annual Pumpkins for Polio auction, organized by the Rotary Club of Campbell River, took place at the Campbell River Men’s Club. The pumpkins were donated by Discovery Foods and Coastal Black Estate Winery and members of the Campbell River Arts Council painted/decorated 22 pumpkins. Three First Nations carvers – Junior Henderson, Mulidzas (Curtis) Wilson and William Henderson – provided their creations, and Coun. Ron Kerr provided his artwork. The pumpkins were auctioned off by Kevin Simonett and the
attendees had a lot to choose from, which resulted in lively bidding. At the end of the evening, more than $1,800 was raised to support Rotary International’s efforts to End Polio Now. The End Polio Now initiative is supported by the World Health Organization and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Besides the usual matching by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the auction proceeds will also be matched by the federal government, so effectively $9,000 will support the vaccination of the children in Pakistan
and Afghanistan where Polio is still endemic. For more than a year, no polio cases have been registered in Nigeria. To read more about the fight against Polio visit: http://www.endpolio.org/ . To make a donation to the End Polio Now initiative, follow the instructions provided on the website - a tax receipt will be provided.

Weekend double for Bantam A’s The KLP Construction Bantam A Tyees began their league play last week with a pair of home games at Strathcona Gardens. The first league game was a Halloween encounter against the Saanich Braves. Just seven minutes into the game Noah Fladager and Brendan Almer set up River Fahey to open the scoring for the Tyees. Less than a minute later, Logan Chapdelaine and Matthew Ubriaco earned helpers on an Owen Parker goal to double their advantage. The Tyees made it a 3 – 0 lead when Bryce Narhi and Jory Swanson assisted on a goal by Noah Fladager. The Braves were able to put their first, and only, puck past Campbell River goaltender Jayce Hudak half way through the second period of the game. However, strong play from the Tyees coupled with two late second period goals by Cody Savey propelled the home team to a convinc-
ing 5-1 victory. The Tyees second league game was a spirited affair against the Nanaimo Clippers. Going into this game, Campbell River and Nanaimo had already faced one another during three exhibition games that had each team even at one win, one loss, and most recently, one tie. Competitive games and increasing familiarity over recent weeks had players and coaches from both squads sensing that a rivalry was beginning to heat up. The teams’ fourth encounter last Sunday, resulted in a combined 55 minutes in penalties with many in attendance at Rod Brind’Amour Arena witnessing a rivalry reach its boiling point. The Clippers opened the scoring late in the first and then took a two goal lead just minutes into the second period. Tyees forward Davis Frank got Campbell River on the board half way through the middle

net to tie the game. Six minutes into the final period, the Clippers took their second lead,

but the lead switched hands again when the Tyees responded late in the game with goals by Fladager and Riley Billy respectively. What turned out to be a thrilling game ended with some controversy when the Clippers appeared to score the tying goal on goalie Antoine Minfray in the final seconds of the game. However, to the chagrin of the Nanaimo fan base in attendance, the goal was disallowed due to an inadvertent whistle being blown by the referee after he lost sight of the puck. With the Tyees league play now at 2-0, the Tyees will practice hard this week before heading to the Interior to compete in a Penticton tournament this weekend.

What can the General Manager and Head Coach of the Campbell River Storm say following a 13-0 loss to Victoria at Rod Brind’Amour Arena on Friday? “Quite frankly, the word we look for is embarrassing”, said Lee Stone. With just under two minutes played, on a tape to tape giveaway in the Storm end, Cougar Ryan Carson completed the interception and scored the first of his three goals. That play would set the tone for the night; by the 5 minute mark, the home team found themselves down 5-0. Nathan Looysen and Taylor Leger would also notch hat-tricks while former Campbell River Minor Hockey player Dom Kolbeins would accumulate three assists placing him third in league scoring. Missed passes, scrambly play, some soft goals and Campbell River was never in this one. The Cougars played their best game of the year, dominating from the opening faceoff despite having three key players sidelined with injuries including Campbell Riverite John Kretzschmar.
On a night where the Storm would be handed their worst loss in memory, there were very few positives save one. According to Storm Governor, Wes Roed, “The fans didn’t abandon us when we needed them most”. There were 976 in attendance and they stayed to the bitter end. Roed added, “Ask any player who has worn a Storm uniform in the past few seasons what’s the best part of playing here, and the unanimous answer is, the fans.” Stone reiterated the governor’s comments following the game, “I think it was a real wake up call for our players to see that not only did every fan stay for the third period but they opened it with a ‘Go Storm Go’ cheer.” Fan support has been strong again this year for the Red and Black, averaging just under 900 supporters per game, the best in

the VIJHL. When asked about the upcoming three game weekend, with a game against Oceanside and a home a n d home with Pe n i n s u l a , the Storm Head Coach said, “We actually have three games against the Campbell River Storm and that’s what we said in the room after the game. We need to focus more about us and not about who we’re playing and how many points they have. We’ve got to show up and work hard”. He added, “We owe it to them (our fans) to make sure nights like tonight (Friday) don’t happen again.” The Storm sit in second place in the North Division with 22 points (10W 5L 1T 1OTL), 4 points back of Nanaimo with 2 games in hand. The Comox Valley Glacier Kings are in third with 21 points. The next home date at the Brindy is Sunday against the Peninsula Panthers.

Drywall
DIVERSION PROGRAM The Comox Valley and Campbell River waste management centres will no longer accept materials containing asbestos. The cost of disposal of drywall (gypsum) will increase to $225/tonne effective January 1, 2016 to cover recycling and transportation costs. Drywall will now be classified 'recyclable’. Should loads of drywall arrive at the landfills mixed together, or mixed with regular municipal solid waste (MSW) or with construction and demolition waste, haulers will be charged the "MSW-mixed with recyclables" rate which is scheduled to increase on January 1, 2016 to $275/tonne.
3x8 cvrd Drywall Division PROCESS
Special note: The Campbell River and Comox Valley waste management centres will require the "Waste Disposal" application form to be completed and approved prior to the disposal of drywall to the landfill. As pre-1990 drywall filling compound (mud) may contain asbestos, haulers will be required to provide analytical data or proof with their application to show that drywall is free from asbestos.
