Cape Mudge councillor named Justice Minister, A-G AlistAir tAylor Campbell RiveR miRRoR

Former Cape Mudge band councillor Jody Wilson-Raybould’s appointment as Canada’s Attorney General and Minister of Justice is being viewed with great pride by her people. “It is with tremendous pride that the citizens of the We Wai Kai Nation, along with the Chief and Council of Elders, share in the accomplishments of our own Jody Wilson-Raybould,” a statement from the We Wai Kai Nation (Cape Mudge Band) says. “Our community is certainly proud of Jody,” Coun. Brian Assu said. “We were gathered around a computer watching the live feed and were ecstatic when the announcement came.” Wilson-Raybould, or Puglaas (her Native name which means “woman born to noble people”), served on the Council for the We Wai Kai Nation for two terms, recently resigning her council position in order to fulfill her commitment in her riding of Vancouver-Granville. While serving on council, WilsonRaybould was instrumental in helping her community develop a Land Code and to move out from under the Indian Act, the We Wai Kai statement says. She was also key in developing a financial administration law (establishing transparency and accountability through a regulatory framework for establishing budgets and controlling expenditures), assuming property taxation powers under the First Nations Fiscal Management Act and becoming a Borrowing Member of the First Nations Finance Authority.

to First Nations activist Bill Wilson and teacher Sandra Wilson. Her father once told the father of new Prime Minister Justin Trudeau – former Prime Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau – that his daughter wanted to be prime minister herself one day. Wilson-Raybould, 42, received her

law degree from UBC and served as a Crown prosecutor before taking a position in 2003 with the B.C. Treaty Commission and was elected as a commissioner by the chiefs of the Assembly of First Nations. She was elected a regional chief of the Assembly of First Nations in 2009

and re-elected in 2013. Her appointment as Attorney General and Minister of Justice has inspired many First Nations people and has raised the expectation that the prime minister will act on a campaign promise to appoint an inquiry into missing and murdered First Nations women.

Whether in times of war or peace, we are ever grateful for these brave souls who put themselves in harm’s way for the greater good of all Canadians. This year, with continuing turmoil worldwide, the need becomes even more apparent to keep November 11 aside for current & future generations to remember and appreciate their courage and sacrifices made in the name of freedom.

New SPCA facility proposed Kristen Douglas CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The BC SPCA is planning to build a new animal centre in Campbell River. Craig Daniell, the BC SPCA’s chief executive officer, told city council at its Monday meeting that Campbell River’s current facility is one of 11 the organization plans to replace over the next 10 years. Daniell said the total cost of the project is $53 million. The BC SPCA has committed to raising half the required funding, with the provincial government chipping in $5 million. Daniell said in Campbell River, the goal is to have a new 3,600 square foot, full service community animal centre in order to expand its programming. “We’ve been operating out of a leased facility for the last 20 months or so. While it’s worked really well for us – we’re busy – making a real difference adopting a lot of animals out and taking care of animals, that is really not our long term goal,” Dani-

ell said. “We’re not able right now to have a really strong youth education program.” Daniell said a larger facility would also help the SPCA better connect with the community. He said for example, in Nanaimo, where a new facility is currently under construction, the SPCA is partnering with a local women’s shelter so that women fleeing from abuse will have somewhere safe to house their pet. Daniell said the SPCA is estimating it will cost around $1.6 million to construct Campbell River’s new centre, not including land acquisition costs. “We are well on our way to achieving that particular goal,” Daniell said. Daniell said the SPCA would be open to a number of different partnering options with the city, including a donation of land, a shared ownership facility model, or a retrofit of an existing building at a reduced cost. The SPCA would like to have the animal centre up and running within two years time.

Taking the temperature of the business community mate from those on the front lines. The survey itself was relatively simple. Volunteers were asking businesses to compare the current state of their operations to this time last year, how many employees they have – and the number of fulltime, part-time and temporary ones – what they like most about doing business here and what they think would help their business improve. “A Business Walk is an initiative that helps local leaders get in touch with

at somewhere around 160, I’d say. That’s going to give us a really good idea about the business climate and how people feel.” Evans says they were very conscious to diversify their survey and collect data from businesses from all sectors and of all sizes, and the “general consensus” they heard is that “businesses told us they’re doing as well or better than at this time last year, which is really good.” If the most recent Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) report is any indication, local government support is actually one of the strongest facets of the business environment in Campbell River. The annual CFIB

report released last month rates Campbell River at No. 55 on their list of top-121 “places to start and grow businesses in 2015,” thanks in large part to its score in “Entrepreneurial Policy.” The overall scores and ranking in the CFIB report were calculated from scores assigned in three categories: Entrepreneurial Presence (the scale and growth of business ownership within a community), Entrepreneurial Perspective (optimism and growth plans), and Entrepreneurial Policy (local government’s actions toward business, such as taxation and regulatory practices). Campbell River’s failing grade in both Presence (46 per cent) and Perspective (45.5 per

cent), was more than offset by its Policy score (74.5 per cent), lifting it into the middle of the pack nationwide at 57.3 per cent. The Chamber of Commerce and the city are hoping to find out firsthand how accurate those numbers are – once they analyze the results of this week’s Business Walk. The report that comes out of that information will be made available to various organizations, businesses and the public once completed, which Evans says should be this January. Businesses not approached during the walk or would like to make additional comment should contact the Chamber at 250-2874636 to add to the data.

Eagles meet the challenge; Food Bank benefits

A $200 cheque was donated by the Campbell River Storm to Eagles for the food bank. From left to right: Storm player Alex Rosolowsky, Marilyn Lewis – C.R. Eagles Ladies Auxiliary Secretary, Ryan Grills, Lee Stone (Storm Coach and GM), Ben Raffler and Colin Blake.

The Campbell River chapter of the Fraternal Order of Eagles Club were proud to be able to present the Campbell River food bank with nearly $7,000 in cash and food donations this week. “A challenge was put forth by the Eagles Grand Aerie to all the Eagles clubs of North America,” said Betty Gauvin, the Ladies Auxiliary President, “and our goal was to raise as much food and funds for our local food banks as possible.” A committee was formed and the hard work and dedication of over 100 Eagles members led to several fundraisers, including homemade bake sales, jam sales and collecting food donations.

The Eagles present a $5,000 cheque donation to Food Bank recently. From left to right – Debbie Willis (C.R. Food Bank manager), C.R. Eagles Members – Carol Darlington, Marlene Jordan, Barbara Johnston, Betty Gauvin (Madame President), Hector Dubois.

“People helping people is our motto,” said Gauvin, “and we couldn’t be more pleased with the phenomenal results for Campbell Riverites who need it most!” The Storm Hockey team heard about the E agle’s efforts and stepped up to help with food donations and contribute $200 towards their efforts as well. Debbie Willis, Campbell River Food Bank Manager said, “We were beyond excited to hear how things were going. They were hoping to raise $1,000 and they had me in tears when the grand total came in. This will go a long way to help our clients and we couldn’t be more grateful.”

Premier Christy Clark’s government has been steadily backed into a corner on its apparent deletion of emails involving sensitive government topics. A week-long barrage of accusations by the NDP opposition peaked with their most damning evidence of a cover-up, in the long-running case of eight health researchers suspended or fired from drug approval studies. Most have been paid settlements or reinstated after the biggest personnel management blunder in memory. One committed suicide. We are now into a second independent review of this tragic case, after an independent lawyer was unable to determine what went wrong, because she couldn’t compel testimony or demand records. It is now in the hands of B.C.’s new Ombudsperson, Jay Chalke, who has that authority. Everyone agrees that the deputy health minister of the day, Graham Whitmarsh, was legally responsible for the decisions and records. Yet somehow the only record released to the NDP for the two-year period of the firings and subse-

quent investigation was a heavily blanked-out update from his successor, Stephen Brown, to the premier’s deputy, John Dyble. It refers to an “update on litigation resolution from invest igat ion,” the substance of which is blanked out, and offers to discuss the situation by phone. H e r e ’s an e x c h a n g e between NDP MLA Adrian Dix and Citizens’ Services Minister Amrik Virk: Dix: “Can the minister explain why the Office of the Premier, the Deputy Minister to the Premier, has no records and why the successive Deputy Minister of Health had one record over two years?” Virk: “The suggestion from the member opposite that there are no documents is false…. There are more documents now that the Ombudsperson has conduct of the matter and is undertaking a comprehensive review. I fully expect that

he will do a comprehensive review and will consent to the release of more documents.” There will be more sound and fury over this, but only Chalke’s report can provide new information. And even then, B.C. the damage is done, settlements and non-disclosure deals have been signed, and Clark and Health Minister Terry Lake have formally apologized. The larger issue is how freedom of information legislation should work . Shou l d the opposition be able to second-guess decisions of bureaucrats by going through their emails? The traditional answer is no. Elected officials are responsible, even if they had no actual role, as should always be the case in hiring and firing ministry staff and awarding government work contracts. The buck stops with Lake and Clark, not their deputies. There are sound reasons for this. Consider

Anyone who has driven on B.C. roads for any length of time has been there – a vehicle races past you at speeds well above the posted limit and then immediately cuts you off with a dangerous lane change. Then there are the drivers who’ll race through a stale yellow light, rather than wait two minutes for the next green, or the ones who jump the green to get in a left turn before oncoming traffic has a chance to move. There is no shortage of aggressive drivers on our roads. As much as we all know it’s illegal and incredibly dangerous, it’s behaviour we’ve all come to expect and, to some degree, accept. We might sigh, and ease our foot off the accelerator a little bit, just to give We say: All have the aggressor a chance to move a bit farther along a responsibility and minimize our own risk of getting caught to keep our up in any carnage they highways safe might generate. But it’s so common, it barely raises an eyebrow. Regardless, on roads as busy as the ones British Columbians drive every day – roads that handle everything from cyclists to semis – there is a whole lot going on for even the most experienced driver to take in. We’ve all witnessed terrible accidents on the roads where police, firefighters and paramedics are fighting to save lives. Regardless of whether the cause was speed, distraction, road conditions, vehicle malfunction or some combination — unless it was a medical emergency, we’re also pretty certain that it could have been avoided. Whether it’s slowing down, paying closer attention or ensuring a vehicle is properly maintained, we all have a responsibility to ensure that our actions don’t put others in harm’s way. As winter approaches, all drivers – not just new ones – need to pay closer attention to everything that is going on around them. It’s a matter of life and death for all of us. – Black Press

another sensitive decision, to shoot wolves from the air in a last-ditch effort to preserve dwindling mountain caribou herds. Protesters, pop stars and politicians can sound off as they like, but these hard decisions are made and carried out by wildlife experts working for or consulted by the province. The minister, in this case Forests Minister Steve Thomson, authorizes the use of helicopters and rifles and takes the political consequences. One can imagine the agonizing discussion that goes on behind the scenes, as provincial and First Nations wildlife experts watch caribou herds dwindle despite widespread habitat protection efforts. They not only make the technical call, they have to pull the trigger. Would wildlife biologists be able to provide frank advice for or against this decision if they knew their names and opinions could later be used in a political battle in the legislature and in the streets? No. And can you run a public service if everyone is subjected to the scrutiny that only politicians choose to endure? No.

City council has approved a new policy that will dictate how the city deals with left over carvings from the annual Transformations on the Shore competition. Working with the Shoreline Arts Society – which hosts the carving competition around Canada Day each year – the city will use a set of guidelines to determine whether a carving can be repaired, moved or destroyed. The policy will apply to all wood carvings that are located on city-owned property. A majority of the pieces that are not purchased or donated to local businesses following the carving competition are left on city land for public enjoyment. Some of the sculptures, though, are aging, weathering and deteriorating which begs the question of what to do with them. “Several of the carvings have fallen into a state of disrepair due to a lack of maintenance,” wrote Elle Brovold, the city’s property manager, in a city report. “In an effort to address this issue, city staff have determined that an internal policy that outlines the responsibilities of the (Shoreline Arts) Society and the city and the processes for dealing with the disposal or retention of the carvings (is necessary).” The policy, which was drafted by city staff months ago, was forwarded to the city’s Community Services, Recreation and Culture Commission prior to it coming to city council at its Monday night meeting. The commission gave it the thumbs up. “ The commission feels that the wood carvings generated by the Transformations on the Shore Chainsaw Carving competition are of value to the community in terms of promoting local culture and attracting tourists,” said Ross Milnthorp, the city’s general manager of parks, recreation and culture. “The commission feels that the associated proposed policy will provide an effective framework for dealing with wood

SD72 not adding to ‘rainy day fund’ after all MIKE DAVIES CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

At the Sept. 27 meeting , the Board of Trustees received its audited financial statements and was told that although the books were in good shape, the board should consider putting more aside in its contingency fund.

Upon further review, the board seemingly determined that’s not something it’s going to be implementing. “If I was on your side of the table, not on the audit side,” auditor Brad Piercy of MNP told the board, “I would want to make sure I had at least one month of contingency reserve unequivocally set aside.”

One month of expenses for the school district is about $5.6 million. Piercy used an example of a household budget to make his point. “If you’re making a home budget, and everyone is making a paycheque, and you’re going through $5,000 in expenses every month, it kind of makes sense to

always have $5,000 at the beginning of the month just as your cushion.” Currently, the district has $1 million in a contingency reserve, which equates to less than one week of operating costs. But at last week’s public meeting, Secretary-Treasurer Kevin Patrick told the board the risk of not having that money put

aside doesn’t outweigh the benefits of having it available to spend during regular budget discussions. “What I did is I basically looked through the history of my time here to see what the risk to the board is of a midyear loss,” he said, pointing out that a mid-year unexpected expense or loss in funding would be the purpose of that fund. The only instance Patrick could find where that contingency fund would have been useful during his time here was the cancellation of a $1-million fund that the district was planning on receiving but did not, and that situation would have been covered by the since-implemented $1-million contingency fund. Another risk is having too much sitting in the contingency fund. Patrick told the board the amount of money school

districts have in reserve is currently becoming “of interest” to the provincial government. “My worry is that the boards having too much reserve is impacting (governmental) funding decisions,” Patrick told the board. “Although it’s good to save for a rainy day, the risk is actually fairly low – at about $1-million, which is what the board currently has – as well as there being some negatives of having a high contingency. Based on that, I don’t think a $5-million emergency contingency is needed for our district considering our unique circumstances. It may be for some entities, but for our school district, it’s better to try to focus those funds into the schools and into operations.” Trustee Daryl Hagen agreed. “I wouldn’t like to see us squeezing more

money out of the system,” Hagen said. “This government can change its mind, like you were saying, at any time, and if it sees money, it’s going to squeeze.” Patrick clarified that he is not saying the government is looking at clawing back funds at this point and did not mean to imply that they are. “Attention is being paid to the reserves, but I have not heard through any avenue that they are planning on clawing that money back,” Patrick clarified. Trustee McMann also came down on the side of spending on students rather than setting funds aside. “I really would prefer, rather than us pad our contingency as an insurance policy against risks that we deem to be quite low, I would rather see that money circulated within the system to better serve our students.”

MANAGING YOUR MONEY Ten financial planning tips 3x8for common-law couples

Nuyumbalees Cultural Centre Congratulates

Common-law relationships are becoming more common. In fact, the number of Canadian common-law couples rose 13.9% between 2006 and 2011 – that’s about 4 ½ times the rate of growth for married couples (3.1%)*. There are specific financial issues relating to common-law relationships that you should be aware of. Here are 10 to consider:

1. The federal Income Tax Act (Canada) considers a couple to be in a common-law relationship if they have lived together in a conjugal relationship for the past twelve months consecutively or have lived together for a shorter period but are raising a child together. For income tax purposes, they are treated the same as a married couple.

8. Designate a power of attorney to act for you should you become mentally incapable of doing so yourself.

MIKE DAVIES CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Ever y year, each school district in the province is required to submit a five-year capital plan to the Ministry of Education asking for funding for renovations and other major capital projects. This year’s School District 72 funding request was passed by the Board of Trustees at its most recent public meeting and consists of 11 projects it is hoping to complete over the next five years. Year one of the proposed plan would see the district install fire sprinklers at Pinecrest Elementary at a cost of $458,000 along with an almost $1-million mechanical upgrade, work on one of the boiler rooms at Southgate Middle School at a cost of $359,528 and upgrade the seismic resistance of Cortes Elementary Junior Secondary at a cost of more than $1.3-million. Year two of the plan sees a proposed Penfield Elementary sprinkler system installed along with $330,000 worth of roof replacement work on Carihi Secondary. Carihi also sees a proposed mechanical upgrade in year three, valued at almost $1.5 million. Southgate Middle S chool and Sand-

Council defers chamber upgrades KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Council will hold off on spending $23,000 to upgrade the council chambers at City Hall – at least until December. Council has been debating upgrading its meeting space to make the chambers more accessible for those with disabilities, expand the seating area and incorporate more wood elements. Coun. Larry Samson, who put forward the idea in August, wanted council Monday evening to go ahead with engaging KPL James Architecture to bring back design options. “As we go through the upgrades, this will give us a blue print, a plan, for down the road,” Samson said. “The most important part to me is the upgrades for the concept of universal design.” Samson said council chambers could also benefit from technological upgrades to its wireless system. Coun. Charlie Cornfield also supported modernizing and agreed with Samson that the most important element is accessibility. Currently, there is a small area at the top of the stairs in council chambers that can accommodate wheelchairs, however the only way to access the presentation area is by taking the stairs. Mayor Andy Adams, though, did

not want to commit to spending any money before council sits down to do its budget planning for 2016. “To make the decision on $23,000 or up to, needs to be done at financial planning which we’re conducting in one month,” Adams said. “I think a deferral would be a more appropriate motion.” Councillors Colleen Evans, Ron Kerr, Marlene Wright and Mayor Adams then proceeded to defeat Samson’s motion to get the design work done and instead, Evans made a motion to defer until budget planning. Samson though, said that would mean more delays. “The problem I have with this is that we’re just referring to get the design for the upgrades, there’s still the work process that has to go ahead if we go ahead with this. To me, that’s the $23,000,” Samson said. “We’ve got $70,000 in council contingency that we haven’t spent. At least we could start the process. To bring this forward in the council budget deliberations, we don’t know what the final cost is going to be for the upgrades and … we’re not going to know the final upgrades until the 2017 budget.” In the end, however, council disagreed with Samson and approved delaying a decision on any upgrades until budget planning which begins the week of Dec. 7.

SRD takes the show on the road KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The Strathcona Regional District will take one of its meetings on the road but directors won’t be venturing too far from the regional district’s Campbell River offices. The board voted at its Oct. 22 meeting to hold its strategic planning session at the Oyster Bay Resort in Area D – one of the Strathcona Regional District’s four electoral areas. Since the summer, directors have debated the merits of hosting one of its regular board meetings in one of the communities that lie within the regional district, such as Cortes Island, Zeballos, Gold River or Sayward, instead of the usual meeting site in Campbell River. But, according to regional district staff, taking one of those meetings on the road would cost anywhere from double to more than triple the current cost of a meeting. The regional district spends $1,870 to hold a board meeting at its Cedar Street offices in Campbell River ($1,280 for directors’ travel, $320 for food, and $270 for agendas) while, for example, estimates to hold a meeting in Zeballos were up to $6,160, up to $5,550 on Cortes and up to $4,740 in Gold River. A staff report at the Oct. 22 board meeting showed much lower costs for meeting space in Area D. Oyster Bay Resort, with a rental fee of $236.25 on Monday to Thursday and $420 on Fridays and a $461 charge for catering, was chosen by directors.

Area D Director Brenda Leigh said she was pleased the directors will be coming to her neighbourhood. “I’m so glad to know it’s going to be in Oyster Bay so you can all get to know the area down there a little bit more,” Leigh said. While holding the meeting away from the regional district board room will cost more, it is also intended to engage the other communities within the regional district. Having the board’s strategic planning session away from home, as opposed to a regular board meeting, was a compromise first suggested by Russ Hotsenpiller, the regional district’s CAO, following hesitation from some directors back in August. When board chair Jim Abram said “nobody showed up” when meetings were held on the road in the past, Hotsenpiller suggested a second option. “A further consideration is to hold the strategic planning session ‘on the road’ thereby satisfying the board’s expressed interest in visiting its member communities, but without the trappings and organization associated with a regular board meeting,” Hotsenpiller wrote in a report to the board in September. The strategic session, during which directors identify the board’s top priorities for the following year, will be held at a to-be-determined date sometime in January. Hotsenpiller said staff will report back to the board with a few dates to choose from once all directors submit their schedules.

Community grants awarded KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The city will distribute more than half a million dollars to community groups following council’s decision Monday night to give out 19 community grants. Council approved $579,614 in grants-in-aid to various groups over the course of the next three years. That’s a 1.8 per cent increase over the amount given out in 2015. Kevin Weighill, vice-chair of the Community Partnership Committee which is tasked by council with assessing requests for grants-in-aid, said this year the city received 25 grant applications, but not all could be accommodated. “Requests for 2016 totaled $678,914 which exceeded council’s finance policy cap of 1.7 per cent of general revenue by $34,871,” said Weighill, who added that the committee spent two full days in meetings reviewing the applications and coming forward with recommendations based on council policy. Organizations with multi-year contracts that operate out of city-owned buildings, such as the Museum, Art Gallery and Tidemark Theatre were given grants guaranteed through to 2018. In total, nine groups were beneficiaries of three year grants while the Campbell River Writers FestivalWords on the Water and the Campbell River Salmon Festival were each given two-year grants of $2,000 and $20,000 respectively. Eight different organizations were

awarded one-time grants for next year. They include: the Genealogy Society ($6,000 for archiving equipment), Discovery Passage Sealife Society ($5,000 for a dome aquarium), Maritime Heritage Society ($3,000 for an archiving project), Campbellton Neighbourhood Association ($1,500 for public relations and communications), Volunteer Campbell River Non-Profit Fair ($1,000), Campbell River Shoreline Arts Society ($1,500 for carving maintenance), as well as $15,000 to go towards a reserve fund for unexpected grants. Coun. Ron Kerr said the list of grant recipients is impressive. “I can’t help but highlight that this really shows Campbell River’s commitment to arts and culture in the community,” Kerr said. “It’s a significant amount that’s going to some of our most important facilities. I just note that Campbell River really is an arts and culture-friendly community.” But not all groups were so fortunate. In total, eight groups were denied funding. Those include: Campbell River North Island Transition Society ($10,000), Willow Point Lions club ($2,250 for a sign), Sexual Wellness and Education Society ($4,000), Campbell River Sea Cadets ($3,000 for operations and $3,000 for building improvements), Campbellton Neighbourhood Association ($20,000 for an airplane entrance feature and $10,000 for phase two of the community garden), as well as Discovery Passage Sealife Society ($6,500 for marketing).

CAMPBELLTON

Mixed uses is the nature of Campbellton By John Twigg, Secretary, Campbellton Neighbourhood Association

groceries and of course services such as City Hall and the community centre.

The unique mixed-use nature of the Campbellton neighbourhood has come to the fore again via some disparate business events. The importance of manufacturing to a healthy economy - which is done by numerous businesses in or near the Campbellton area - was emphasized anew at the 2015 State of the Island Economic Summit Oct. 2829 in Nanaimo's impressive Vancouver Island Conference Centre. About a dozen city and business officials from Campbell River attended the ninth annual event and while only a few of the delegates were associated directly with Campbellton one of the key themes of the event was that manufacturing provides the much-needed high-paying jobs that come from value-added activities, especially in forestry-related manufacturing businesses - and such businesses are arguably the dominant activity in Campbellton too, certainly historically in production and also presently in services. Whether it is local tire companies selling big tires for logging trucks or consulting companies advising on how to manage cutblocks, forestry is a major employer in Campbellton much moreso than in say the downtown and Willow Point areas where the emphasis is on retail and commercial businesses such as in banking, real estate,

Original

Canada’s Finishing Store!

That industrial orientation of Campbellton was likely to be evident anew in the Business Walk event planned for Wednesday (Nov. 4) by the Campbell River Chamber of Commerce in which business and political leaders were to go door to door interviewing business operators about the issues they face and what they think could and should be done about them. Interestingly, the present chair of the chamber, Corby Lamb, is the owner-operator of Campbellton-based Capacity Forest Management Ltd., which specializes in managing forest licences for First Nations. Campbellton Neighbourhood Association chair Brian Shaw and other CNA officials were planning to participate in the walk and were likely to learn anew that Campbellton's unique blend of industrial, commercial and residential activities can sometimes conflict and sometimes extra efforts are needed to help them co-exist as well as possible. Those conflicts between users have been noticed in the current City and CNA study of ways public access to the Campbell River riverside could be improved, with a few locations noted where improved recreational access could conflict with local residents' desires

for privacy; there also was some of that seen with the CNA's development of the community garden on 15th Avenue near Petersen, it could become a factor in the development of social housing in the area and it may be a factor in future plans for Haig-Brown House (e.g. more parking!), among others. Those competing interests also illustrate why the Campbellton Neighbourhood Association is neither mainly a residents' association (though it does often fight for residents' needs such as for better lighting and pedestrian safety) and nor is it seeking to become a registered

business improvement area (BIA) (though the CNA does do some business advocacy too). Instead the CNA has become a blend of those over-lapping and sometimes competing interests, which simply reflects the reality of the area. And while some people on both sides of the resident and business divides sometimes question that mix, the benefits of it were clearly evident when » » » »

a variety of forest industry people and businesses were instrumental in helping to finance and construct the successful community garden. The CNA's lobbying also was instrumental in convincing the City to undertake the recentlycompleted traffic upgrades on the Petersen Road hill, which now make it much safer for vehicles, pedestrians and

cyclists - thank you City Hall!! The future of Campbellton and its Neighbourhood Association will depend on whatever people make it become, with everyone welcome to participate in the CNA's annual meeting in January at a location yet to be determined.

Reality stageplay Man Up! visits Campbell River Gritty performance speaks to at-risk youth in their language

caution for dramatic content and strong language accompanies invitations to the Westcoast Boys Club Network Foundation’s (BCN) reality stage production of Man Up! - the true story of the Boys Club Network’. “Unfiltered reality and strong language define the hallways, dreams and disappointments of Canada’s large population of boys at-risk, and to reach them we must speak, understand and respond to that language authentically and hopefully,” says BCN co-founder Walter Mustapich. “Hope is what we are all about.” BCN’s visit to Vancouver Island was initiated by the Community Justice Centre in Courtenay, the City of Courtenay’s Community Drug Strategy Committee, and the Campbell River Community Addictions Dialogue and Action Committee, after representatives of the organizations saw an abridged version of Man Up! during a federallyfunded Provincial Youth Justice Forum in Richmond earlier this year. It is fitting that Man Up! closes its Island tour on National Day of the Child, Nov. 20, at the

Quinsam Hall (2005 Eagle Drive) in Campbell River. Show time is 7 p.m., is open to the public and admission is free. Man Up!, a critically-acclaimed and professionally-written, directed and performed production, will tour Courtenay, Comox and Campbell River from Nov. 18-20, and students, educators, parents and other stakeholders have been invited to attend the 60-minute plus Q&A presentation, free of charge. A companion study guide for educators and parents ignites pre-play discussion and continues the conversation afterward. Vancouver philanthropist businessman and BCN founding patron Frank Giustra is the driving force behind a small group of men funding Man Up! so that there are no barriers to admission or understanding. “This play is BCN’s calling card, and footin-the-door of communities that could benefit from BCN’s message of hope,” says Giustra. “To see the play is to understand instantly and impactfully the unique challenges facing boys today, and also to know what each of us can

do to help grow highpotential at-risk boys into happy and selfconfident young men. It’s that simple.” H.O.P.E. in the language of the Network, is an acronym for change. “Hope, Opportunity, Positive mentorship, and Education is what at-risk boys in our program need, and it’s what we deliver,” says Mustapich. “It’s a simple idea conceived by the likes of developmental psychologist Dr. Gordon Neufeld, one of the first proponents of fostering connection and mentorship of boys as critical components for successful development. Our model is based on ancient wisdom. What makes us current, relevant and successful in today’s world is our medium.” The support, insight and initiative of the Community Justice Centre in Courtenay, the Community Drug Strategy Committee, and the Campbell River Community Addictions Dialogue and Action Committee makes this appearance possible. The We Wai Kai First Nation and Kwakiutl District Health Council provided the venue. About Man up! Man Up! chronicles the true story of the original Boys Club. A gritty, heart-wrenching, emotional and life-

Man Up! exposes the unique challenges facing boys today and delivers a message on what can be done to help at-risk youth achieve their potential.

changing story of two determined eastside educators, a group of at-risk boys on the sharp knife edge of life, a handful of generous and visionary Vancouver businessmen from all walks of life, and the compelling four year journey they took together - from the edge of frustration, hopelessness and despair to the pinnacle of hopefulness and success. Westcoast Boys Club Network Foundation The Westcoast Boys Club Network Foundation is a registered Canadian charity founded by two visionary educators; funded by visionary patrons; supported by visionary mentors. BCN tackles

HEROES & ZEROS editor@campbellrivermirror.com

ZEROS – Earlier this year my family decided to honor our parents by purchasing a picnic table on the seawalk. Our family legacy started in 1939 and continues today. After paying $3,500 and months of anticipation we were shocked by the difference in the picnic table that was erected in honor of our parents in comparison to the picnic tables that dot the Seawalk. Just by looking at the difference between the two types of picnic tables, one has to wonder where all that money goes. It

took me a few weeks to write this note to Heroes and Zeros. After taking the time of going to the city the day this occurred and asking for an explanation, I realized after being in the office there was going to be no satisfaction of any kind in the discussion and that nobody would take responsibility for these actions. I had to leave the premises to collect myself. The damage was done and irreversible after initially seeing the table for the first time. The disappointment of that moment can not

be rectified, even if the city was to refund the money, as offered, which was completely deflating. Zeros to the city administrators of this program for not informing us the reason for the difference in the picnic table and allowing us just to be shocked by the reality. To all who are considering this program, Please take note and inform yourselves. The legacy will continue regardless of the stain it’s left. – Rick Fulber Campbell River

HEROES – The First Willow Point Beavers have so many people to thank in this great community! First we would like to Thank the Campbell River Disc Golf Club for supplying us with the opportunity to sell hot dogs at their annual Ace Race Tournament. A huge thanks goes to Thrifty’s Foods for supplying us with the lunch to sell. It is nice to know that a large company is willing to help out even the smallest citizens. This year the Beavers got to attend the Build A

Whale Demonstration through Discovery Passage Aquarium! Thank you Deb for making this age appropriate, it was fun and educational. Thank you to the Masons and the Community Centre for helping us the lodging. Campbell River is such a great place to teach the young about community while exploring all our region has to offer. – Thanks you from Nicole Walker on beahlf of 1st Willow Point Beavers

HEROES – No more spiders! Todd Dugas with Excel Pest Solutions is our hero for coming out to the Campbell River Air Cadets squadron hanger and spraying the building to rid us of spiders. On behalf of our Air cadets, staff and volunteers we would like to say a huge thank you for providing this complimentary service and ridding us of all those spiders! We truly appreciate the time that Todd took to come and provide this service to us. – Michelle

Fontaine on behalf of Campbell River Air Cadets ZEROS – B.C. Hydro for not replacing burnt out street lights in a timely fashion. I called the city works office on Sept. 10, to report a light that has been burnt out since August on my street only to be told that they can put in one request to B.C. Hydro for that light no matter how many calls they get. There is little they can do, it is totally up to B.C. Hydro. – Pat Masters, Grayson Road

Have you ever wanted to participate in the Campbell River Christmas Bird Count but are new to the area or to bird watching? Are you not even sure what bird book works best locally, or what type of binoculars to buy? Then this is the outing for you! Even though the Campbell River Christmas Bird Count is not

till Sunday, Dec. 27, families and bird watching novices (or experts!) are invited to join us for a pre-Christmas bird count practice run on Saturday, Nov. 21, from 10 a.m. to12 p.m. You will explore the water and shrubs around the Tyee Spit to learn about birds that make their home there.

i d e nt i f i c at i o n a n d recording, compare bird books and go over what the numbers on binoculars mean. There may even have info on bird apps for your devices. In the end, choice of equipment and books is a personal preference, but it helps to compare them in action in the field. Meet at the Bird Blind on Tyee Spit (in the park-

ing lot on the left at start of Dick Murphy Park – at playground) at 10 a.m. Saturday Nov. 21, 2015; call Colin, 250-850-0884 or Luisa, 250-923-9918, or email buster@telus. net (Colin) Lu.rich52@ gmail.com (Luisa) for more details on the Christmas Bird Count and how you can contribute to “Citizen Science”!

LEST WE FORGET

Why Remember? We must remember. If we do not, the sacrifice of those one hundred thousand Canadian lives will be meaningless. They died for us, for their homes and families and friends, for a collection of traditions they cherished and a future they believed in; they died for Canada. The meaning of their sacrifice rests with our collective national consciousness; our future is their monument. These wars touched the lives of Canadians of all ages, all races, all social classes. Fathers, sons, daughters, sweethearts: they were killed in action, they were wounded, and thousands who returned were forced to live the rest of their lives with the physical and mental scars of war. The people who stayed in Canada also served—in factories, in voluntary service organizations, wherever they were needed.

We often take for granted our Canadian values and institutions, our freedom to participate in cultural and political events, and our right to live under a government of our choice. The Canadians who went off to war in distant lands went in the belief that the values and beliefs enjoyed by Canadians were being threatened. They truly believed that “Without freedom there can be no ensuring peace and without peace no enduring freedom.” By remembering their service and their sacrifice, we recognize the tradition of freedom these men and women fought to preserve. They believed that their actions in the present would make a significant difference for the future, but it is up to us to ensure that their dream of peace is realized. On Remembrance Day, we acknowledge the courage and sacrifice of those who served their country and acknowledge our responsibility to work for the peace they fought hard to achieve.

The meaning of their sacrifice rests with our collective national consciousness; our future is their monument.

National War Memorial in Ottawa

Yet for many of us, war is a phenomenon seen through the lens of a television camera or a journalist’s account of fighting in distant parts of the world. Our closest physical and emotional experience may be the discovery of wartime memorabilia in a family attic. But even items such as photographs, uniform badges, medals, and diaries can seem vague and unconnected to the life of their owner. For those of us born during peacetime, all wars seem far removed from our daily lives.

Lest we forget…

During times of war, individual acts of heroism occur frequently; only a few are ever recorded and receive official recognition. By remembering all who have served, we recognize their willingly-endured hardships and fears, taken upon themselves so that we could live in peace. Source: www.veterans.gc.ca

LEST WE FORGET

The Battle of Monte Cassino –

A Daughter’s Journey Into Her Father’s Past The battle of Monte Cassino (also known as the battle for Rome) was a 157 day assault against Hitler’s army during the Italian campaign in WW2. My father, Corporal Robert Ralph Taylor, was there serving in the Canadian Perth Regiment in 1944. My father never spoke of his experience there. He never told me how he hated lying in a wet, mud-caked, wool uniform that stank of sweat and that chaffed his neck till it was raw. He never said how numb his fingers got on the trigger of his rifle during that bitterly cold February when he watched 1400 tons of bombs drop on the hill top Abbey and strained to see his enemies through the driving rain. He never said a word about being terrified while wading through the swift, cold currents of the Rapido River and how he couldn’t swim. I never heard him say anything about a steep, rocky hill strewn with boulders, cut with ravines and gullies filled with gorse or shoe box mines and hidden barbed wire and booby traps. There was no discussion around seeing his comrades and commanding officers blown to pieces beside him. He never once said “I took another man’s life” so I don’t know if he did or not. What words are there to explain these things? My father never spoke of the war. My father drank. I barely knew my father until I was 7 when he joined AA and became my dad. I remember as a kid looking in the old dented, tin box that held his badges, medals and old coins he kept in the upstairs bedroom of our old farm house. At the time, it didn’t interest me one little bit so I never asked him about this stuff. I grew up, became a nurse and moved from my Ontario home to BC. Yearly visits back east were spent visiting mom and dad but the talks were about what was happening in the present not about the past. Then dad died suddenly at age 72 from a heart attack and mom moved here to be

closer to us 5 kids who were by now all living out west. She was retired and lived modestly but comfortably due to dad’s army pension. After mom was gone and all my father’s siblings passed there was suddenly no one to ask. It took planning a fun vacation to Italy this past year that caused me to think “hey, wasn’t dad in Italy in the war?” My older brother had information about dad’s regiment and where he had fought. Since I was going there, I decided to have a look at this. Where exactly was Monte Cassino and what had happened? This began my journey to find out what happened to dad. The set up to this story and battle, were the Canadians landing in Naples and traveling north. The plans to move through Italy were made difficult by treacherous terrain and Italy’s wet season. Making matters worse, the Germans, diverted the Rapido River to flood the only 2 paths up into Rome and also had destroyed all bridges. In the middle of this line of defense was the town of Cassino, 125 km south east of Rome. Overlooking this town stood an ancient monastery atop a hill built in the sixth century known as Monte Cassino. Its view held strategic value. Approaching enemy advances could be detected from quite a distance. The town of Cassino was thought to block the path of advancing allies to Rome. The battle for Monte Cassino was one of the longest and bloodiest battles the allies were involved in during the Italian campaign in WWII. It began in January and ended in May 1944. At the end of the four battles there were seventy-five thousand casualties. An eyewitness who saw survivors descending from the hill wrote “It was more than the stubble of beard that told the story:

Bonaire, Suite, Italy it was the blank, staring eyes. The men were so tired that it was a living death. They had come from such a depth of weariness that I wondered if they would quite be able to make the return to the lives and thoughts they had known.” These too included the eyes of my father, my dad.

happened to you now dad. Thank you for serving our country to make sure we had a better life. I share my story so we can all remember, lest we forget. Submitted by Joan Taylor Daughter of Robert Ralph Taylor

Our visit to Italy took place in September of this year. Monte Cassino will forever remain in my heart and soul. It took a tour of the war cemetery and standing in front of the graves of 800 Canadian soldiers with the Abbey in the backdrop where I finally got it. These graves were filled with kids just barely old enough to leave home. We saw where the Canadians drove a tank into the river to support a Bailey Bridge creating a crossing for the allies to advance, then we went up to the Abbey itself. What I leave you with is this, “in life my father was silent, in death I heard him speak”. I know what

Frederick Charles Wood April 16, 1921 – June 21, 1998

Our father, Frederick Charles Wood, was born April 16, 1921 in Regina, Saskatchewan. When he was a young boy, his parents separated and he, along with his mother and sister moved to Vancouver to be close to his mother’s family. They were not well off and dad always said he joined the army to get a new pair of boots. He didn’t see his father again until they met during WWII. In 1940, while he was stationed in England, dad received a letter from his cousin telling him that his father was also stationed in England. They got together in a village pub and had a great visit and they kept in touch. When dad moved to Campbell River in 1946 to work on the John Hart project, his father came to visit and also went to work on the project. Dad rarely talked about the war and it obviously affected him as it did many others. When he was shipping supervisor at the mill he had a man working for him who was

He also told the story of watching his good friend, Dick Kelton, ride his motorcycle right into enemy lines and was unable to do anything about it. Luckily, Dick survived the POW camp and they met up after the war. Dad served with the Seaforth Highlanders in North Africa and Italy and was part of the forces that liberated Amsterdam on May 5th, 1945. He never forgot that day. Dad was a member of the Legion and worked for veterans all his life.

LEST WE FORGET Bob Ostler

September 12, 1920 – November 17, 2001 After 36 missions over Germany piloting a Lancaster bomber, and two crashes, Bob Ostler never expected to survive the war. Before his quiet passing at age 81 he commented that “Life doesn’t owe me a thing. I never expected to get back to my family in Victoria and it is a miracle that I have lead such a long life.” Bob Ostler was not only a distinguished WWII veteran but as well a pre-eminent citizen of Campbell River. He served his community well as a mayor for eight years and later as a private citizen and Freeman of the City. Ostler was born in Victoria on 12 September 1920 and died on 17 November 2001.

Flight Lieutenant Robert Ostler

As an 18 year-old he yearned to fly and in the spring of 1939 he was recruited into Victoria’s famous “Major Biggs Boys” group and sailed for England where he underwent pilot’s training. He served for the six war years with the Royal Air Force and the final years were spent piloting a Lancaster on bombing sorties over enemy territory. His bomber crashed twice, once due to “friendly fire”, and each time the crew managed to make their way back to #15 Squadron at Mildenhall, U.K. In recounting his experiences to Ken Stofer, author of The Biggs’ Boys, Ostler tells of a particularly unnerving experience when he was piloting a loaded bomber on a daylight raid to Leipzig in the summer of 1944. “I was flying in very tight formation. We had ‘cookies’ on board, 4,000 pounders plus 500s and incendiaries. We took a direct hit on the bomb bay. I was tucked in so close that it blew out both of my motors on the port side and took off one tail plane. We were on the run in and my bomb bay doors were open and remained jammed. The concussion split my cooling systems, white smoke poured from the port motors and I had to feather. The rest of my flight disappeared in the distance and we were left limping along on two motors. I couldn’t take evasive action but an aircraft, about 1,000 feet above me, saw the predicament we were in and turned around to cover us and started dropping metallic “window”. This screened out our plane from the German antiaircraft guns.” Ostler said they were too badly beaten up to get home and as they were losing height rapidly they circled and landed on a soccer field about 30 miles from Vught in Holland. “This near tragedy had its funny side,” said Ostler “The crew were in brace position and by this time

Distinguished Flying Cross

I’m bringing the Lanc in on only one starboard inner motor. I’m coming in wheels-up and there’s a drainage ditch at the end of the field. We ploughed right through breaking the persplex off in the nose and scooping up mud. I was buried in the cockpit. When I cleared the mud out of my eyes and eased myself out of the ooze I could see the crew running like hell down the field. I guess they thought we were going to blow up. Funnily enough we had landed in the middle of an artillery barrage between the New Westminster Regiment and German artillery.”

The photo on this page of the crashed bomber on the soccer field turned up recently on the Internet. It emerged, thanks to an intense web search in England by a young man named Kelvin Josh. He had befriended Ostler’s former tail gunner Les Hamilton who had flown on all 36 missions. Hamilton was now 85 years and anxious to reconnect with his former squadron leader. Apparently a Dutch family living near the crash site took several pictures of the Lancaster. The pictures remained in the family archives for 70 years. It took a computer literate grandchild to connect the pictures with a web search conducted by Mr. Josh. The Ostler family in Campbell River treasure these photos. War records at the Air Association headquarters show Ostler crashed only once. These photos plus flight records forwarded to the family will be in valuable in clearing up errors in Ostler’s RAF history. Ostler had many stories to tell including another similar crash landing in occupied France at a British aerodrome called B26 for which he received the Distinguished Flying Cross, (DFC ).

Bob Ostler’s Story Part II

The story of his second crash is also recounted in The Biggs Boys where Ostler described a gripping account of a landing in occupied France. “We used to ‘mark’ a lot of our own targets. We were equipped with all sorts of gadgets like GS and H2S. On this particular night I was target marking. No one was supposed to be over the target other than ourselves and we were about to mark the target with flares. The target was Dresden as far as I can recall. We arrived right over target on our ETA and prepared to drop flares. We hadn’t actually dropped a single flare, when all of a sudden all hell broke loose. Evidently a squadron had come in early and 500 feet higher and let everything go on an unmarked target. To this day I don’t know who the hell they were. But the end result was they put two incendiaries inside our aircraft, two 500-pounders through my port wing and one through my starboard wind. I lost 800 gallons of gas…in ten minutes the gauges had flopped. We had two fires burning and I could taste the gas in my mouth. But, we never blew up. The crew shovelled one incendiary through the rear escape hatch and the other one never went off. The arm was taken off my chair, it wiped out our auto pilot and we were in a real mess. I could look out at the port wing and there were holes in it that a guy as big as I am could walk through. Why the bloody wing didn’t fall off I don’t know. We were in big trouble. The plane was still flying and I still had full control but there was no way I was going to get back to England. I didn’t have enough fuel to get halfway back. I’ll never forget that date, November 4, 1944. It is indelibly written in my mind. Mac, my navigator set a course for a British aerodrome in occupied France called B26, designated B for British. We started back and about halfway there we were picked up by German night-fighters. I couldn’t take evasive action. I knew if I started to corkscrew I would lose a wing. They made two runs at us. The kite got hit but without more serious damage than we already had. Nobody was wounded. Without being able to take evasive action we were just damn lucky, that’s all. Thank God there was a layer of 10/10ths cloud below us and I just slid the Lanc over very carefully into the cloud and evaded them. Mac was one of the best navigators you could wish for. He was deadly accurate and got us back on course. What we didn’t know was that we had lost our antenna. We could send but we couldn’t receive. Our call went out ‘Mayday! Mayday!’ We were Mayday-ing our fool heads off and getting no response and yet Mac was absolutely certain we were dead over the top of Base 26. We were now down to 1200 feet and running on an ‘oily rag’ as the saying goes. There was nothing in the tanks. I was just about to bail the crew out. I couldn’t leave it any longer or they wouldn’t make it. Suddenly there was a light from the ground. I gambled and went around again and saw a second one come on and as soon as I saw that I came in and landed. I put the Lanc down and before we got to the end of the runway, all four fans quit turning. They towed us off with a tractor and wrote the aircraft off on the spot. Apparently B26 had a power failure. They had received our Mayday and were talking back to us but without our antenna we didn’t receive anything. We had gone down on the 4th of November and of course my parents were notified I was missing, however a wonderful thing happened. All my family were sitting down to Christmas dinner when there was a knock on the door. It was a telegram to say I was safe. It was delivered by hand on Christmas Day, which I thought was incredible. I still have that telegram.” It was the Dresden trip that earned Ostler the Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC), but he didn’t get up to Buckingham Palace for the presentation ceremony. In 1945, after serving six years overseas, he returned to Canada and transferred to the RCAF where he was based at Jericho Beach in Vancouver. When the peace agreement was signed with Japan he retired from the service and moved back to his home in Victoria. He finally received his DFC late in 1945 at a ceremony held at Government House with the Lt. Governor, W.C. Woodward presenting the award.

10 Quick Facts

on Remembrance Day

✻ Remembrance Day was first observed in 1919 throughout the British Commonwealth. It was originally called “Armistice Day” to commemorate armistice agreement that ended the First World War on Monday, November 11, 1918, at 11 a.m.—on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. ✻ From 1921 to 1930, Armistice Day was held on the Monday of the week in which November 11 fell. In 1931, Alan Neill, Member of Parliament for Comox–Alberni, introduced a bill to observe Armistice Day only on November 11. Passed by the House of Commons, the bill also changed the name to “Remembrance Day”. The first Remembrance Day was observed on November 11, 1931. ✻ Every year on November 11, Canadians pause in a moment of silence to honour and remember the men and women who have served, and continue to serve Canada during times of war, conflict and peace. We remember the more than 1,500,000 Canadians who have served throughout our nation’s history and the more than 118,000 who made the ultimate sacrifice. ✻ The poppy is the symbol of Remembrance Day. Replica poppies are sold by the Royal Canadian Legion to provide assistance to Veterans. ✻ Remembrance Day is a federal statutory holiday in Canada. It is also a statutory holiday in three territories (Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut) and in six provinces (British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador).

and a colour guard. At the end of the ceremony, they march away to officially close the ceremony. ✻ Some of the 54 Commonwealth member states, such as Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia, observe the tradition of Remembrance Day on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. Other nations observe a solemn day but at different dates. For example, ANZAC Day is observed in New Zealand on April 25. In South Africa, Poppy Day is marked on the Sunday that falls closest to November 11.

✻ The national ceremony is held at the National War Memorial in Ottawa. The Governor General of Canada presides over the ceremony. It is also attended by the Prime Minister, other government officials, representatives of Veterans’ organizations, diplomatic representatives, other dignitaries, Veterans as well as the general public.

✻ Many nations that are not members of the Commonwealth also observe Remembrance Day on November 11, including France, Belgium and Poland.

✻ In advance of the ceremony, long columns of Veterans, Canadian Armed Forces members, RCMP officers, and cadets march to the memorial lead by a pipe band

✻ The United States used to commemorate Armistice Day on November 11. However, in 1954 they changed the name to Veterans Day.

Give pause on Remembrance Day Throughout history, millions of soldiers have marched into wars to protect the freedoms of their countries. Remembrance Day is a solemn time to commemorate those soldiers’ achievements and sacrifices and to pay respects to soldiers who died in battle. In the United States, people honour their present and past military on Veterans’ Day. In British commonwealth countries and territories, including Canada, November 11 is known as Remembrance Day. Since the end of World War I, memorials to remember those of the armed forces who fought in battle and perished in the line of duty have been dedicated on this day.

Armistice Day origins Remembrance Day was once known as Armistice Day because it marks the signing of the armistice that put an end to the hostilities of World War I. On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of the year, guns fell silent after more than four years of continuous warfare between the Germans and Allied troops. The armistice agreement was

signed in a French train carriage at 11 a.m. Later, the carriage where the historic event took place was placed in a specially constructed building to serve as a monument to the defeat of Germany. Although it was moved by German forces and later destroyed during World War II, after that war ended a replacement carriage, correct in every detail, was rededicated on Armistice Day in 1950.

Remembrance Day evolution Armistice Day was renamed Remembrance Day after World War II to commemorate soldiers from both world wars. It is now used as a way to pay homage to any fallen soldier. Each year a national ceremony takes place at the Cenotaph in Whitehall, London, a monument erected as a memorial to soldiers buried elsewhere. The Queen will lay the first wreath at the Cenotaph, while others will leave wreaths and small wooden crosses. In Canada, Remembrance Day is a statutory holiday in many provinces and territories. Official national ceremonies are held at the

National War Memorial in Ottawa. Events begin with the tolling of the Carillon in the Peace Tower, during which members of the Canadian Forces participate and congregate at Confederation Square. Similar ceremonies take place in provincial capitals across the country. Very often moments of silence are offered for lost lives.

What about the poppies? One of the unifying symbols of Remembrance Day is the poppy that is worn to honour lost soldiers. The bold, red color of the flower has become an enduring symbol of those who died so that others may be free. The poppy became a symbol for a specific reason. Some of the most concentrated and bloody fighting of World War I took place in Flanders, a region in western Belgium. As a result of the fighting, most signs of natural life had been obliterated from the region, leaving behind mud and not much else. The only living thing to survive was the poppy flower, which bloomed with the coming of the warm weather the year after fighting in the region had ceased. Poppies grow in disturbed soil and can lie

We won’t take our freedom for granted.

dormant in the ground without germinating. Without the war, they may have never come to the surface. John McCrae, a doctor serving with the Canadian Armed Forces, was moved by the vision of poppies flowering in Flanders and wrote a poem titled “In Flanders Fields.” After the poem was published, it received international acclaim, and the poppy became a popular symbol of those lost in battle. Men traditionally wear the poppy on the left side of the chest, where a military medal would be placed. Women wear it on the right side because that is where a widow would wear her husband’s medals.

Remembrance Day is celebrated every year, providing people humbled by the sacrifices of soldiers an opportunity to remember those soldiers’ efforts to secure freedom.

Despite the fact that two uncles spent much of the war as POWs, both in Germany and Japan, we were very fortunate that all of our family members returned home after the war. Relatively in one piece but with emotional scars which meant many of their stories were kept from us until long after we were adults. My grandparents Elmer and Jean served together in service, and as partners in life. After my grandfather’s unexpected death in 2001, the cemetery in Brooks Alberta skipped a grave section in the military area, so that when my grandmother died in 2009 she was able to be interred alongside her husband.

As a youngster, I couldn’t wait to join the local army cadet corps and so I backed up my birthdate by a year and from then on through cadets, the militia and the regular army it remained in place. It wasn’t until I joined the RCMP that my false birthdate caught up with me but they didn’t send me home as I was already in Depot Division in Regina. The reasons for my being so keen regarding the military were all due to family history; my father at the outbreak of WWII was in the Horse Artillery wherein, although hard to imagine they were still pulling artillery gun set-ups with teams of horses. My great uncle Willie served in the Royal Navy in WWI and my aunt Mary & uncle Vic served in wartime. On Remembrance Day all through my youth, my folks took me to the Service rain or shine. My great grandfather, Sergeant Donald McRae served under Sir Sam Steele in the Northwest Mounted Police so even the police connection was in the family.

Left to right: Uncle Vic, my mother and Aunt Mary

Over the years, the WWI vets have become reduced in number as is now the case with WWII vets. “Lest we forget” should ring in our ears and that rings true when you think of the wars that still go on today; why, with all our science, technology, and brilliant minds are we still going to war with somebody, somewhere? I don’t have any pat answers but we need to get one because after WWIII there won’t be any remembrance day, just nuclear winter!!! Affordable Monitoring & Response Service

LEST WE FORGET Canadian Virtual War Memorial Inventory of wars in contemporary history Remembrance Day is an opportunity to reflect on the sacrifices that today’s soldiers make and on the sacrifices of all those who preceded them. The deadliest war: The Great War of 1914-1918 is the greatest drama known to Europe in terms of the number of deaths. The totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century and the Second World War are the direct consequences of this war. But it was the Second World War that was the deadliest, with more than 55 million deaths, of which 30 million were civilian. The most remembered war: This is the Second World War because of the atom bombs dropped on Japan and because it left its mark on three generations. Fortunately, those who remember it also remember the slogan “No more war!” The bloodiest battle in Canadian history: The Battle of the Somme took place from July 1 to the end of November, 1916. On the first day of this battle, the 1st Newfoundland Regiment was virtually annihilated in the village of Beaumont. Machine guns, barbed wire, trenches, and massive artillery shelling resulted in ferocious fighting marked by heavy losses. Some 24,713 Canadians and Newfoundlanders died in the battle. The largest naval battle: The greatest naval concentration of contemporary history was deployed in the Persian Gulf and Indian Ocean area on September 21, 2007. This unprecedented demonstration of power by the United States against Iran included three aircraft carriers supported by about 40 escort vessels and nearly 100 aircraft.

As we express our gratitude we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to speak the words but to live by them.

Thanks to the generosity of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, you can now search the Canadian Virtual War Memorial to find where a veteran is buried. This site is a registry of the graves and memorials of more than 116,000 Canadians who served valiantly and gave their lives for their country.

• Providing a Given Name or an Initial will help narrow down the number of search responses.

The purpose of the Canadian Virtual War Memorial (CVWM) is to recognize and keep alive the memory of the achievements and sacrifices made by those who served Canada in the defence of freedom and so have contributed to the development of Canada as a nation.

• If you are unsure of the exact spelling of the Given Name, try using the first two or three letters of the Given Name or try using Initial.

The virtual memorial also contains images of individual Canadians and their experiences. You are invited to send us digital images of photographs and memorabilia relevant to Canada’s war dead.

• Multiple Given Names or Initials in the wrong order will cause an inquiry to miss the required record.

To start, search the Canadian Virtual War Memorial by filling out the search form at www.veterans.gc.ca/eng/collections/virtualmem Tips for Searching • Only use information that you are sure about. • Searches are not case sensitive. Search criteria may be entered in upper, lower or mixed case. • A Surname or part of a Surname is required to successfully complete an inquiry. • If you are unsure of the exact spelling of the Surname, try using the first two or three letters of the Surname. • A maximum of 500 responses will be provided for each search.

LEST WE FORGET

• You can search by full Given Name or part of the Given Name. • Separate multiple Given Names by a space. Do not use commas or periods.

• At least one Initial should be used. Separate multiple Initials with a space. Do not use commas or periods.

• If the surname contains spaces (e.g. Le Blanc), it may appear in the database with or without the space (Le Blanc or LeBlanc). • If the surname contains a period as in St. Pierre, it will appear in the database as St(space)Pierre. • Try using Wild Cards. A Wild card is a term used to describe a search technique which enables a range of names to be matched from a fragment of a name. “%” can be used to replace a string of text within your search. This technique ensures that the widest range of records are searched in an attempt to find the correct one. Example: Entering a Surname as %donald will return the following search responses: DONALD DONALDSON MACDONALD MCDONALD

LEST WE FORGET During WWII, the Canadian Government felt it was necessary to ration certain goods. This was done to ensure there was a large enough supply to meet both military and civilian needs. Food rationing came into effect for Canadian civilians in 1942. More than 11 million ration books were distributed.

LEST WE FORGET Please wear a poppy

In Flanders Fields

by Don Crawford, 1960s “Please wear a poppy," the lady said And held one forth, but I shook my head. Then I stopped and watched as she offered them there, Her face was old and lined with care; But beneath the scars the years had made There remained a smile that refused to fade. A boy came whistling down the street, Bouncing along on care-free feet. His smile was full of joy and fun, "Lady," said he, "may I have one?" When she'd pinned it on he turned to say, "Why do we wear a poppy today?"

by John McCrae, May 1915

The lady smiled in her wistful way And answered, "This is Remembrance Day, And the poppy there is the symbol for The gallant men who died in war. And because they did, you and I are free That's why we wear a poppy, you see."

In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

"I had a boy about your size, With golden hair and big blue eyes. He loved to play and jump and shout, Free as a bird he would race about. As the years went by he learned and grew and became a man - as you will, too." "He was fine and strong, with a boyish smile, But he'd seemed with us such a little while When war broke out and he went away. I still remember his face that day When he smiled at me and said, Goodbye, I'll be back soon, Mom, so please don't cry." "But the war went on and he had to stay, And all I could do was wait and pray. His letters told of the awful fight, (I can see it still in my dreams at night), With the tanks and guns and cruel barbed wire, And the mines and bullets, the bombs and fire."

"Till at last, at last, the war was won And that's why we wear a poppy son." The small boy turned as if to go, Then said, "Thanks, lady, I'm glad to know. That sure did sound like an awful fight, But your son - did he come back all right?" A tear rolled down each faded check; She shook her head, but didn't speak. I slunk away in a sort of shame, And if you were me you'd have done the same; For our thanks, in giving, if oft delayed, Though our freedom was bought - and thousands paid! And so when we see a poppy worn, Let us reflect on the burden borne, By those who gave their very all When asked to answer their country's call That we at home in peace might live. Then wear a poppy! Remember - and give!

Remembering those who protected us;

Honouring those who continue to do so...

LEST WE FORGET POPPY MOBILE GIVING PROGRAM British Columbians can use their mobile phones to text donations to the Legion’s Poppy Funds. “For many years, British Columbians have been proudly wearing their poppies and showing they remember,” says Jim Howard of Vancouver’s Poppy Fund. “This year we’ve added a new and easy way for you to give.” “You simply text the word POPPY to 20222, reply YES to confirm, and a $5 donation will be added to your mobile phone bill,” explains Howard. “We receive 100% of the donation.” The mobile giving program, made popular by disaster relief efforts in Haiti and Japan, is part of a brand revitalization project at The Royal Canadian Legion BC/Yukon Command.

Remembrance Day

NOVEMBER 11

Newly appointed Executive Director, Inga Kruse says the Legion is giving their brand a facelift that includes the introduction of new technology and new, more modern ways for supporters to remember, join and give. “We want people to know we’re more than a social club,” explains Kruse. “Any Canadian over the age of 18 can join the Legion—you don’t have to be ex-military.” The Legion in BC has 65,000 members, contributes $6.5 million to community programs each year and Legion members volunteer over 600,000 hours annually. One of the key programs that benefits from poppy fundraising is the Veterans’ Transition Program at the University of British Columbia, where returning veterans can receive free support, counseling and trauma relief as they transition home and back to civilian life.

Hell breaks loose

by Zen Karp (excerpt from H.L.I. and WWII) On this Remembrance Day, I fondly and proudly reflect back on my Grandfather, Private Jack Tufford, who served in WWII. On July 8, 1944, at the age of 24, the following events unfolded in Buron, France and this is an excerpt from ‘The Remembrance Project’ and the chapter entitled “Hell Breaks Loose’ by Zen Karp: “As the wheat field came to an end, Private Jack Tufford and the rest of his section brought their weapons into their shoulders. They had so far made it through some of the enemy’s mortars and were in good shape to close the last few hundred yards to Buron. Without stopping, B and D Companies stepped out from the field of grain and it was at this moment the maelstrom of violence began.

In honour of those who saved the world In life one man can seldom see His impact in society Our soldiers fight to blinded eyes To allow us all to live our lives Taking up arms against a foe To save us from the pain they know To give us all out liberty They bear the brunt of misery No greater duty can one bear An act of courage few would dare Endless sacrifices for 4 years Keeping back our greatest fears November 11th is a day of love To remember those now up above Men and women far too great To be remembered upon one date No words bring justice to their fight But I will try with all my might To bring them honour for the days They fought to alay such evil ways No act of love could be so grand As one brave soldier’s final stand So now I will say at last We must remember what has past Those who have died and those who live And all the thanks to them we give They are all those who meet the call Preserving good for one and all So on this day I ask you pray For heroes of our memory Thank for your sacrifice It was this act that gave us life.

A poem by Mike

From less than three hundred yards to their front, erupted a hail of withering fire into the leading platoons. It was the anti-tank ditch and from it, the SS raked over their exposed enemy while the Canadians could do virtually nothing. The rich, life giving soil absorbed gallons of blood. Through German sights, Private Jack Tufford was just one of the Canadians who dropped like a sack within seconds of the first rounds being fired. He had been shot once, and hit by mortar shrapnel which ripped through his chest. Like many with him that day, he was stopped well before reaching Buron.” My Grandfather, as a result of his injuries, lived the rest of his life with one lung. As a young child, I would often ask, “Papa, show me your scar from where you got shot in the War!” but it was not something he wanted to talk about, being such a modest man.

I was the first born grandchild. Many more grandchildren and great grandchildren would follow, but he always made me feel like I was the only one. He and my grandmother resided on the beach shores of Lake Huron in Kincardine, Ontario for the remainder of his life. They both were Private Jack Tufford active members of the Legion, playing crib daily, family outings to sing-alongs every Sunday night, formal events and attending the funerals of life long army friends he was fortunate enough to outlive. He was notorious for having a joke or a saying every time you saw him, many of which I still remember to this day. There have never been the proper words to express my gratitude for his service to our country. He was a humble man who never demanded recognition or attention. He was loved by all and is missed dearly. I love you Papa, thank you for being the best grandfather!

Lest we forget. For those lost but not forgotten.

An emerging varietal in British Columbia, Tinhorn Creek Cabernet Franc (55921) $25.60 is satisfyingly rich and overflowing with dark, raspberry and peppery blackberry aromas and flavours. More elegant than extravagant, this is a structured red that is perfectly suited for pairing with richly sauced pasta and meat dishes. Professional wine tasters rarely swallow any wine. The real trick is to sniff deeply, sip generously, swirl the wine

around in your mouth, spit it gently back into your glass, then empty the glass into one of the handy buckets and rinse with water before reusing. If you find this too disgusting to even consider, be sure to have a Taxi or a Designated Driver waiting at the end of the evening. Track down Montresor Amarone della Valpolicella (855759) $43.40 from Italy towards the end of the evening. Full bodied and seductively smooth, Amarone is made from Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara grapes that are deliberately air-dried on racks for three weeks to three months before fer-

ive, and working together makes a huge difference for our most vulnerable citizens. The challenge is to find funding for nights that don’t fall into the extreme weather criteria. We’re hoping the community will rally behind us to help.” Lagueux suggests families or businesses could consider sponsoring the cost of operating a bed or a room in the shelter for the winter. Anyone who would like to help is asked to contact Paul Mason at 250287-2421. “Council is pleased to support the renovations of the shelter and work with Family Services and Radiant Life Church to provide these critical services. On behalf of the entire community, City Council extends its great appreciation to Family Services and Radiant Life Church for their initiative and dedication to helping homeless people,” says Mayor Andy Adams. “With the emergency shelter now restored and ready to operate, we encourage residents, groups and organizations to do what they can to provide support for operating the shelter and meal programs.” In 2009, the total number of unsheltered people in Campbell River was 37. A survey conducted this September indicates that number has grown to 52. In addition, approximately 33 people are homeless, but staying in local shelters. Background: Along with locating the emergency shelter on vacant land next to the fire hall for the past two winters, and funding support for this fall’s restoration, recent city initiatives related to assist affordable housing and alleviating homelessness include:· Land donation for women’s transition house (Rose Harbour) covered development and servicing fees n Palmer (Nikola) place - covered development and servicing fees n Habitat for Humanity land donations n Sustainable Official Community Plan – incorporates social wellbeing/social issues n Integrated Community Sustainability Plan incorporates social wellbeing/social issues n Supporting our Social Mosaic: A Social Development Plan (2010) n Affordable Housing Strategy 2010 n Community Health Network (Regional) n Homelessness Coalition n Social Planning Committee n Youth Engagement Strategy n Crime Reduction Strategy Over the past decade the City of Campbell River has developed and contributed to dozens of social initiatives throughout the community. Even though the City does not have a designated social planning function, the plans and policy framework of the City often integrates the known community social needs,

City looks to implement downtown broadband KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The city is seeking a $50,000 grant to complete infrastructure upgrades to accommodate a downtown municipal broadband network. The system would allow local businesses and non-profits located near the network to apply

for access to high speed Internet at a more affordable rate. Warren Kalyn, the city’s manager of information technology, said it’s a system that large urban centres already have easy access to. “Municipal broadband networks make cities more attractive to businesses, especially

high-tech and research companies, which are dependent on communication,” Kalyn said. “These municipal owned networks enable small and home-based businesses to participate in international and regional commerce, provide hosting opportunities for services such as data centres, and allow

companies to recruit new employees who can telecommute without physically relocating.” But Kalyn said the key advantage to municipally owned broadband networks is “the significant cost reduction associated with Internet access available through service providers due to the substantial decrease in initial build costs.” The city is working on a conceptual business case for such a network,

at a cost of $20,000. That plan will help council make a determination on whether or not it wants to proceed with the project. Kalyn said it’s estimated to cost the city $100,000 to complete an existing, city-owned fibre ring that’s currently being used by city operations but has the capacity to expand. Some of the cost would be paid for by the Island Coastal Economic Trust if the city’s application

STEP 1: Paint the inside of each bottle cap white. It’s a little tricky getting it to coat completely, so you’ll probably need to so several coats, letting it dry in between. You can paint the outsides too if you really want, but we didn’t.

First Nations add voice to ferry debate

www.CampbellRiverMirror.com www.CampbellRiverMirror.com

KRISTEN DOUGLAS

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

First Nations chiefs from across B.C. have committed to work with coastal governments to lobby the province for a more affordable ferry system. At the First Nations Summit in Vancouver last month, a resolution was passed that, “First Nations Summit Chiefs in Assembly support and encourage Coastal First Nations to join with the Coastal Ferry Group in seeking occasional meetings with the premier and the Minister

of Transportation, other ministers and BC Ferry services Inc. to resolve ferry issues and produce a ferry system which is affordable and effective.” Jim Abram, chair of the Strathcona Regional District board and a member of the Coastal Regional District Chairs Group which is made up of 13 regional district chairs, said having that resolution pass was a huge victory. “Really, the most important thing is that we have managed to bring all these noncoastal people into this discussion,” Abram said.

“They all understand now it’s a provincial issue. We (the coast) generate 38 per cent of the gross domestic product and that goes into programs that they benefit from.” Abram said himself, Colin Palmer (chair of the chairs group), and Reg Moody were given the opportunity to present the resolution at the First Nations Summit which is comprised of a majority of B.C. First Nations and tribal councils and provides a forum for First Nations in B.C. to address issues related to Treaty negotiations and other areas of con-

cern. Abram said the original resolution drawn up by the chairs group did not fit the Summit’s format and in the final hours, a new one had to be written up. It was worth the last minute scramble, though, as on the last day of the Summit, Oct. 16, the resolution was put forward to the First Nations assembly and passed. “Basically what it means now is we will work with the First Nations Summit to come up with a work plan, and we hope to meet with the minister and premier

early in the new year,” Abram said. “That will be a good thing for the province as far as ferry service is concerned because we’re all affected by this. It’s a provincial issue.” The Coastal Chairs Group was formed in 2011 out of a growing concern about the economic and social impacts of BC Ferries on coastal communities. The Group maintains the position that BC Ferries is a provincial highway and as such should be funded under the the province’s transportation ministry.

Bruce passed suddenly, yet peacefully, surrounded by loved ones on November 3, 2015. His family is left sharing memories of his love for being on the water with a fishing rod in hand, telling stories from the past days of CRAB’ing, listening to Jimmy Buffet over and over again and his never-ending quest for a hole-inone.

Together Again It is with saddened hearts we announce the passing of Phyllis Eileen Harris on November 2, 2015 in Campbell River.

Eric’s work took them around the province where they loved to square dance. They finally settled here in Campbell River in 1975. Phyllis was a member of PEO and in her leisure time she enjoyed watching football. A gathering of family and friends in Phyllis’ memory will take place Saturday, November 21st from 1-3pm at Mountainview. Flowers gratefully declined.

In loving memory of that special person who was taken from us on November 7, 1992 The face we love is missing, The voice we love is still, A place is vacant in our hearts, That never can be filled. We hold you close within our hearts, And there you will remain, To walk with us thoughout our lives, Until we meet again.

IN MEMORIAM

If yellow roses grow in Heaven Lord, Please pick a bunch for me. Place them in my husband’s arms, And tell him they’re from me. Tell him I love and miss him And when he turns to smile, Place a kiss upon his cheek, And hold him for awhile. Because remembering him is easy, I do it every day. There’s a sadness in my heart, That will never go away. 12 long years now My Love. God Bless You. – Grace

EILEEN SWANSON With great sadness we announce the passing of Eileen Swanson on October 30, 2015. Eileen was born in Morris, Manitoba on December 5, 1947 and went to school and grew up in Emerson, Manitoba. She was the oldest of eight children born to Riichi and Emiko (Nishibata) Koizumi. She married Gerald Swanson on December 9, 1967 and moved to Hallock, Minnesota until October of 1987 when they moved to Campbell River. Her greatest loves were her family, her career with Dr. McAllen, and later with Dr. Rutz, and curling. She was always involved in planning and promoting the game and she curled for 58 consecutive years. Eileen competed against National and State champions while living in Minnesota. Her love of the game took her to a State Championship (Minnesota) and she went on to place 2nd in the U.S. Nationals. She was always willing to have new curlers on her team, and taught them the love and encouraged the passion she had for the game. She fulfilled a lifelong dream and travelled to Perth, Scotland to curl. She also traveled to Germany to watch her niece Emiko compete in a World Dance Competition. Eileen and Gerald joined Ernie, Renee, Emiko and Kobe on a trip to Hawaii in 2009. She was predeceased by her maternal and paternal grandparents, her mother-in-law and fatherin-law Arnold and Effie Swanson, her father Riichi Koizumi, Nov. 20th, 2014 and her Aunt Reiko (Nishibata) Koizumi, August 20th, 2013. Left to mourn her passing is her husband Gerald of 48 years; her mother Emiko Koizumi; seven siblings: Marvin (Sharon) Koizumi, Karen (Wayne) Eagleston, Tom (Dorothy) Koizumi, Doug Koizumi, Art Koizumi, Ernie (Renee) Koizumi, Ken (Kari) Koizumi and her brother-in-law Roger (Fran) Swanson; eleven nieces and nephews: Ryan Swanson, Melanie (Jeff) Hale, Ryan Eagleston, Eric (Kate) Eagleston, James Koizumi, Kelly Koizumi and her fiancĂŠ Rob Mascarin, Blair (Crystal) Koizumi, Derek Koizumi and Tara Marshall, Jordan Koizumi, Madison Werner, Emiko Marie Koizumi, and Kobe Koizumi; seven great-nieces and nephews: Megan (Cody) Campbell, Diana Hale, Sara Hale, Lydia Hale, Evan Koizumi, Raiden Koizumi, Leah Eagleston. As well as numerous aunts, uncles and cousins, godson Christopher Bilinski and goddaughter Deanna Swendseid. While living in Hallock, Eileen was very active in the community. She enjoyed riding her 400 Honda motorcycle, taught ballroom dancing, was a League & City Champion in 10 pin bowling and a lifetime member of the WIBC (Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s International Bowling Congress). She was also a very active member of the Curling Club. She taught lessons in Chinese cooking, and put on a Chinese Food Fundraiser for the Hallock Curling Club. Besides farming, Eileen and Gerald ran a two acre market garden. She helped Gerald on the farm and was very proficient in operating all types of farm equipment. Eileen and Gerald moved to Campbell River in 1987. She helped out with the family business, Lucky Louie Boat Rentals. She did catering for the Shrine Club as well as took on many other catering events. For several years she was the convenor for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sunday Hangover Leagueâ&#x20AC;? at the Campbell River Curling Club. She was a great organizer and delegator, getting her team involved. They affectionately would say â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes Eileenâ&#x20AC;?. She enjoyed all aspects of curling and made new curlers feel welcome. Through her years of curling and the love of the sport she touched the hearts of many. She enjoyed spending time playing cards. She organized many friendly family card games with young and old alike and she also enjoyed playing cards with her many friends at the Seniorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Centre and Ironwood Place until her final days. She loved her family and her friends. She considered many of her friends as â&#x20AC;&#x153;familyâ&#x20AC;?. A Celebration of Life will be held in the spring of 2016. If you so desire, a donation to the charity of your choice would be appreciated. We would like to thank Doctor Marsh, Doctor Prinsloo and Doctor Ksienski and their staff for their care and expertise. Also special thanks to Tammy, Faith, and Rebeca at the Cancer Care in the Campbell River Hospital as well as the nurses at the hospital and the Home Care nurses and staff that came to the house.

Timberline goes 5-0 to take home tourney

The Timberline Junior girls volleyball team dominated their home tournament on the weekend, taking home the championship without dropping a single set. In round robin pool play the Wolves defeated Highland out of Comox 25-12, 25-13, DW Poppy from Langley 25-3,25-10 and Claremont from Victoria 25-7, 25-13. Winning the pool gave the Wolves a bye into the semi-final, where they faced Nanaimo District Secondary.

The Wolves were on fire, playing with emotion and aggressiveness, beating Nanaimo 25-12, 25-12, putting them through to the final against Carihi. “We were excited to play Carihi as the girls are all friends and play club together. It was a great match with a lot of fan support. It was back and forth with long rallies and a really high calibre of ball for this level. “We ended up on the winning side of things but it could have gone either way,”

said coach Terry Philip after the tournament. Timberline came away with another straight-set win, 25-23, 25-22. “I think people wanted a 3rd set as it was so entertaining to watch. Before and after the final, the Tyees and the Wolves all did a dance together on the court. “It was great to see these girls playing the game they love and celebrating together,” Philip said.
