Campbell River youth are more at risk for teen pregnancy than their B.C. counterparts, according to a local youth society that recently delivered some sobering statistics to city council. Members of the Sexual Wellness and Education Society of Campbell River said the facts are a “major concern” and are an indicator that the community could benefit from expanded programming and service. The society currently operates a Youth Clinic out of Robron Centre but it’s only open Thursday afternoons from 2 to 5 p.m. Island Health provides the clinic with public health nurses, obstetricians and local General Practitioners while the John Howard Society provides an outreach worker. School District 72, which provides the space, the Altrusa Club and Daybreak Rotary also partner in the operation of the clinic. “The youth clinic is a safe place for youth to be able to go and meet with health officials,” said Kate Gigiel, Continued on Pg. 5

Youth: Stats ‘should not be taken lightly’
From Pg. 1
president of the Sexual Wellness and Education Society. “A number of reports show Campbell River needs this type of service, it’s needed greatly.” Dr. Philip Asplin, a society board member, said according to the Chief Medical Officer’s 2014 report, Campbell River youth are “more likely to engage in sexual intercourse and oral sex when compared to other B.C. youth” and “they’re more likely to give birth to a child when under the age of 20 than other B.C. youth.” He said Campbell River teens are also “having unprotected sex and combing drugs and alcohol with their sexual activity.” Asplin said those sta-

tistics should not be taken lightly. “These are all facts of major concern and should be to everybody who lives in this town,” Asplin said. “We know that making healthy choices helps young people achieve their education and career goals, making a positive impact on the local community.” To that end, society members said the youth clinic is there to help youth make those smart decisions and to also offer guidance and support to those who find themselves in a difficult situation. “When youth come into the clinic, often of course they’re scared and alone and need pregnancy testing,” said Kelsey Creviston, secretary of the society. “They
leave with not just birth control but also education. We connect them with a (doctor) if they are pregnant and other community workers.” Creviston said the clinic has been a big win for the society which offers STI (Sexually Transmitted Infection) testing, pap smears, vaccines, affordable contraceptives, education, and referrals to other health agencies. In 2010, the clinic dealt with 80 patients in its first year and last year, there were 530 client visits, said Barb Preston, a school counsellor who also serves as vice-president of the society. “Our numbers keep going up,” she said. And the society wants to do more. It wants to extend its
operating hours so that more youth are able to attend the clinic, which is run on a drop-in basis, and the society is also considering moving out of Robron Centre. “We were thinking about a downtown, central location on a bus route,” Preston said. “That would be ideal.” Creviston said the society would like to form a closer relationship with the city, which it signed a memorandum of understanding with in 2010. Pre ston s ai d t he society, in addition to expanding and possibly re-locating the youth clinic, is also eying an upgrade for its website. “We have a Facebook page and we do have a website but it is pretty basic and we don’t have the funding to make it
for Infrastructure and Communities and Spokesperson on Multiculturalism. Our experienced and united team is ready to
get to work on behalf of Canadians as the progressive opposition,” said Blaney. “The Liberal government made a lot of commitments this
campaign. We’re going to hold them to their promises.” The complete list of the shadow cabinet is available at www.ndp. ca/shadow-cabinet

RCMP report increase in major crime, downtown disorder KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Campbell River has seen an increase in severe crime this year and near record levels of disorderly conduct in the downtown core, according to RCMP Inspector Jeff Preston. Preston told council, at last week’s Monday council meeting, that Campbell River, along with most of B.C., has seen a jump in its Crime Severity Index which assigns a numeric value to a crime, with homicide earning the greatest number. “Our jump has been about 19 per cent,” Preston said. “A vast majority of that has been a result of an increase in major crimes against persons, those were up significantly. However, I believe what had a major impact on this number was the amount of homicide files we had this past year.” Campbell River RCMP dealt with one homicide, 16 robberies (a 60 per cent increase over 2014), 277 assaults (a 13.1 per cent increase) and 23 sexual offences (a 35.3 per cent jump). Also on the rise is the number of calls for disorderly conduct in the downtown area. “There’s been an issue in the downtown core with a number of individuals causing a disturbance in a number of fashions, in particular by being drunk or disorderly,” Preston said. “We have had an increase unfortunately and we’re seeing levels we haven’t seen since 2009.” Preston said the Campbell River RCMP detachment’s crime analyst has found that 16 people represent about two-thirds of the calls. He added that of those 16 people, 14 are from out of town but have re-located to the Campbell River area. Preston said to try and combat the problem, RCMP increased its foot patrols, but, he added that doesn’t necessarily fix the problem. “That does tend to just move the problem from one area of town to another,” Preston said. “It’s a societal issue which is going to require a multi-organizational and a multi-faceted approach.” He added that RCMP have had preliminary discussions with Crown counsel, the city’s First Nations partners, and the city’s new judge. Preston noted that
getting mental health and addictions services involved is also key. “We do need to focus in on these 16 individuals and in many cases, get them the help they need,” Preston said. “In a lot of instances they’re dealing with mental
health or substance abuse issues. There’s no doubt we do have an issue in the downtown core that needs some attention.” On the flip side, what has gotten some attention is theft – particularly shop lifting which Preston said has been
reported in increasing numbers this year. “ T h e nu m b e r o f increased calls for service due to shop lifting we believe is a result of our work with the loss prevention officers, ensuring they call every time there is an incident,” Preston
said. Also on a positive note, there was a decline in total Criminal Code offences reported to Campbell River RCMP this past quarter when compared to the one previous. Preston said that can be attributed to
declines in crimes against people and other offences which both recorded its lowest number of incidents for at least the past 12 months. 2015 Stats n Murder-1 n Robbery-16

Our View
Housing is for everyone There are approximately 25,000 Syrian refugees expected to arrive in Canada between now and January. They will need a great deal of help, and we expect that between the government, churches, and charitable citizens, that help will be available. By and large, Canadians are willing to lend a hand, especially in extraordinary circumstances. B.C. could see a relatively high proportion of the new refugees – Toronto and Vancouver and their suburbs are the most favoured destinations for newcomers to Canada. The goal of rescuing people from overcrowded refugee camps and war zones is laudable. But when there is a crisis, it is easy to mobilize public opinion and the machinery of government to deal with major We say: Why problems. Other problems last for can we mobilize years, and become invisfor refugees in ible. If we can house 25,000 crisis but not our refugees in less than two homeless? months, why can’t we find proper housing for Canada’s homeless as well? On the Lower Mainland alone, there are more than 2,700 people without any kind of housing. That likely misses more people who are sleeping on couches or in their cars. Homelessness is a kind of permanent crisis. We see it every day, we walk around the people we see on the streets, tossing a few coins or avoiding eye contact. And every few years, the province or cities will make a new drive to try to end homelessness once and for all, but any improvements tend to be temporary. Homelessness is not an easy problem to solve, and even with a lot of money thrown at it, it can‚Äôt be dealt with in a matter of months. But we don‚Äôt believe it’s insurmountable. The vast majority of people on the streets can be housed, and they can be helped to better lives. This is not an argument to deal with homelessness before taking in refugees. Canada is one of the world’s wealthiest nations. We should be able to help refugees become new Canadians, and help our homeless citizens. Both need compassion and practical help. -Black Press

A salute to our veterans and our town Thank you. It hardly seems enough to say, considering the turn out for this years Remembrance Day ceremonies. In the near decade that I have had the honour of guiding the parade, I have watched the numbers grow and grow, to the point where several thousand people line the streets and surround the Spirit Square. There are so many people to thank, for this years ceremonies, not the least of which is Is the President and Members of Royal Canadian Legion Branch #137. From the breakfast in the morning, to managing the wreaths, to having lunch and dinner ready for folks enjoying the post parade camaraderie, your service why we have such a successful event. Many thanks to the Campbell River RCMP, for both participating in the parade and supplying traffic control / security for the parade itself. Thanks also to the members from 19 Wing and the Search and Rescue School. As usual,
Sean Smith is the Parade Marshall of the Remembrance Day ceremony.
they looked sharp and represented the Canadian Forces very well. The Remembrance Day ceremonies are always made better by the presence of our youth and our local Cadet Corps/Squadron did themselves proud with a fine turn out, especially the Cadets involved in the Cenotaph Guard and Legion Colour Party. I was very pleased to see another large turnout of Scouts, Guides, Cub Scouts

the parade a real success and showed some real pride in our Veterans. Endless appreciation goes to all of the citizens of Campbell River, who came downtown to join the Veterans on this Remembrance Day. As a Veteran, I can tell you that means a great deal, to all of us, that you were there, wearing your poppies and showing your pride in the men and women who have served our country well, for over 100 years. Finally, thanks to all my fellow Veterans. It was, as always, my honour and privilege to lead you onto parade. While the ranks of our WWII Veterans thin through time, I am pleased to see all of our other Veterans, from Peacekeeping Operations to the War in Afghanistan, joining our rank and file to march on parade. I look forward to leading you all, again, next year. Lest we Forget. Sean Smith Parade Marshal Remembrance Day 2015

he man who owned and operated this publication for almost 15 years through the 1970s and 80s has died. On June 12, 1972, Ron Bock came to Campbell River from Port Alberni, where he was, at the time, the production Manager of the Alberni Valley Times.
He had been offered the job of publisher with a new upstart in Campbell River called the Mirror. The offered position included an option to purchase the publication after one year – provided he could make it turn a profit. “In the first six months, we lost a small amount of money,” Bock told the Mirror in an interview in 2006 to cel-
ebrate the 35th anniversary of the publication. “But the following year we showed a half-decent profit.” He did purchase the paper from the original consortium of owners after the year, and began to expand the operation. Through the rest of the 70s, business was booming. In the 1980s, however, when the economy slumped, the Mirror
began to hurt, as well. Closing businesses in the region meant fewer advertisers, which meant staff cuts, which meant more work for those who remained. “It was tough,” Bock said. “It was challenging, I tell ya. We had to work long hours.” Thanks to Bock and his staff ’s hard work, the paper survived, obviously, and in 1987, Bock sold the paper to Gerry
Putting invasive species to good use
The Invasive Species Council calls it “a serious, smothering invasive” in southwestern B.C. Now you can put English ivy to good use and learn to weave it into a simple Christmas gift basket. English ivy, or Hedera helix, was introduced as an ornamental garden plant by early European settlers. It was considered valuable because in its native range, Europe and Asia, it provided food and shelter for a wide range of wildlife, including birds, insects and deer. Although the local deer do enjoy eating it, English ivy also has a lot of negative consequences for the environment. It overtakes

to split the vines, strip the bark and manipulate the resulting fibre to weave a simple basket that can be put to a variety of uses. If time and interest permit at the end of the session, participants will head to
Larwood Creek tributary to practice clean harvesting – collecting the raw materials without spreading the plant further nor causing sediment to enter nearby streams. The “Weaving with Ivy” workshop will take place November 28 from 9:30am to 12:30pm at the Sybil Andrews Cottage located at 2131 South Island Highway. Registration can be done through the Museum at Campbell River 250287-3103. The cost is $25 per person and all of the weaving materials are included. Participants must bring a pocket knife, garden shears, and gardening gloves. Register early as space is limited!

Group lobbies Sewer upgrade to help protect marine environment for public art space KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
The city will spend $300,000 on an upgrade to its main sanitary sewer system. The lift station, which is adjacent to Home Depot, is the largest in the city’s sewer network and handles the majority of the city’s sewage. The lift station has three pumps which are controlled by the amount of sewage that flows into them and are operated by on/off controls. Jason Hartley, the city’s capital works manager, said that type of control regime is limiting the ability to control the discharge rate into the city’s Norm Wood Environmental Centre where the waste is treated. “The pumping system is not operating in an efficient manner as the pumps are cycled
on/off at set points that can result in large surges being sent to the treatment facility,” Hartley said. “This surging flow…during high peak can cause effluent to be released to the marine environment without adequate treatment.” The $300,167 upgrade will add an a d d it i on a l j o cke y pump and install variable frequency drives which will allow the city to control and adjust the speed of the waste being pumped to the treatment centre. “Overall this project will result in increased system ef f icienc y, reduced component wear and optimized energy consumption,” Hartley said. At last week’s Monday meeting, city council awarded the project to Ridgeline Mechanical Ltd., with the money to come from the city’s
sewer reserves. The project is budgeted for in the city’s 2015-2019 capital plan, in the amount of $500,000. Council chose Ridgeline to undertake the work after city staff recommended against giving the contract to the lowest bidder. Hartley said the recommendation was made following a review by the project team that included independent legal advice from Peter D. Johnson Law Corporation. “It was concluded that the lowest priced tender from Archie Johnstone Plumbing & Heating (at $283,750) was found to be materially non-compliant with the tender requirements,” Hartley said. “The next lowest tender from Ridgeline Mechanical was found to be compliant with the tender requirements.”
The budget for the project includes the $300,167 to Ridgeline for construction, as well as $109,953 for engineering, contract administration and inspection, and another $61,518 (15 per cent of the project’s value) to be set aside as contingency in the event of cost overruns. All totalled, the project comes in at $471,638, slightly less than the $500,000 budgeted for the lift station upgrades. The project is expected to take 26 weeks to complete. Hartley said installation of the pumps and frequency drives is scheduled to begin in the second quarter of 2016 when sewage flows begin to ease because of reduced impact from winter storms and inflow and infiltration of storm water.

A group of business owners wants to create an outdoor public space for artists to display their work. The concept, a ‘Rue des Artistes’, would entail dedicating an area for artists to set up temporary studios under shelter and sell their work. “This is an essential element in almost every city, and involves little expense,” wrote Ruth McMonagle, art agent and co-owner of Still Water Books and Art, in a letter to city council and signed by four other business owners. “It could possibly involve the purchase of tents or umbrellas, electrical connections, and lights. It also would mean a small, part-time seasonal contract for a manager to be respon-

sible for the organization and control of the site.” The group is suggesting the area between Spirit Square and the Art Gallery or the courtyard between the Tidemark Theatre and the Library as possible locations. At last week’s Monday council meeting, councillors briefly discussed the proposal. “In light that the public art committee has begun, this may be an appropriate place to refer this to,” Mayor Andy Adams said. Coun. Larry Samson put forward a motion to refer the initiative to the city’s public art committee, as well as the city’s Community Services, Recreation and Culture Commission for its input. McMonagle said a place to view local art would tie in with council’s priority to create a vibrant downtown that promotes local culture. “As part of the downtown revitalization, this simple addition would support our vibrant and growing artistic community, and generate an atmosphere of vitality,” McMonagle wrote. “It would increase the volume of ‘walk by’
traffic so essential to the economic growth of the merchants in the downtown area.” She said it would also complement the city’s River City Arts Festival, as well as the work of the Campbell River Art Gallery by drawing more artists to the facility. McMonagle said the idea for such a space came from a demand from visitors to the city looking for art beyond the walls of the Art Gallery. “A f r e q u e n t l y expressed wish from visitors to our community is for a place to view local art,” McMonagle said. “Heather Hughson, of the Campbell River C ommunity Arts Council, notes that most visitors to the Sybil Andrews Cottage ask where they can go to see local art displayed. She commented that it is a source of frustration that there is no specific location to suggest.” McMonagle and the downtown business owners are asking for “immediate funding in the upcoming budget” from council, which begins its budget planning for 2016 in early December.

Marine Harvest undertaking $40 million improvements MIKE DAVIES CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Marine Harvest Canada is building seven new recirculating aquaculture systems at its two North Vancouver Island salmon farms. The $40-million dollar infrastructure investment at the company’s Big Tree Creek and Dalrymple facilities has now begun, and will continue through 2016. “The new land-based tank systems for raising parr and smolts (juvenile salmon prior to seawater entry) represent a significant investment in hatchery infrastructure,” the announcement
says, “and will enable the company to increase production while also improving environmental performance. Recirculation uses about onehundredth of the freshwater as a traditional flow-through aquaculture system.” Marine Harvest Canada has been using and developing recirculating aquaculture systems since the late 1990s and has pioneering knowledge of system design and operation, the release states. “The new systems will improve upon recirculating aquaculture technology currently being used for first feeders at Dal-
Marine Harvest is building new multi-million dollar recirculating systems at its salmon farms, including this Dalrymple facility.
rymple.” The existing system was designed and built in-house, incorporating technology from InterAqua and Pentair for bio-filter and drum-filter components. Dean Guest, freshwater
production director for Marine Harvest Canada, says it is, “the company’s most efficient system to date,” with 15 million fry fed in the first 18 months of operation. “It was surprising that a simple system that was

inexpensive to build uses less energy than competing systems. We designed the system to be very simple and compact and the only automation is the oxygen system and the drum filter,” Dean says.
“I would be shocked if I saw anything better. Performance has met or exceeded our expectations. The engineering design is unique because water flows throughout the system without the many pipes and valves required in older models. The full flow passes through each process of the treatment system with no side stream components or use of piping.” Marine Harvest will build two first feed systems and five smolt systems, for a total of 9,000 cubic metres of rearing space. When construction is completed, both facilities will be amongst the larg-
est producers of salmon smolts in North America. The company says it will be local builders and electrical contractors working on the projects, many of which have already begun, but details about the number of locals being put to work and the types of work being done by them was not made available to the Mirror by print deadline. An update to this story will be available at www. campbellrivermirror.com if and when that information is made available. The first stage to be finished will be a six metre system at Dalrymple and it is expected to be ready for fish in early 2016.

Karate Cup a different kind of challenge
Athletes from across the Island travelled to Campbell River last Saturday to take part in the 11th annual Campbell River Shito Ryu Challenge Cup at the Sportsplex. This is a fun and recreational tournament for athletes under the age of 18 which is focused on development rather than medal placings. Each athlete under the age of 12 gets two chances to compete in each of their divisions. Each U12 athlete also receives a written feedback to allow for reflection and improvement. Rules are modified for this age group as well. “This concept is relatively new and controversial, as most people are used to Gold Medal being the measure of success,” says Sensei Roy Tippenhauer, who hosts the tournament. “If we use that standard only one person has succeeded. I focus on personal best and con-
tinuing to improve your personal best. This is the 30th year anniversary of our club and of me coaching the club. In its history we have had 10 national champions, numerous silver and bronze, numerous provincial titles and one international bronze medal.” The standouts for the tournament from Campbell River’s club were in the 14-15 boys brown black kata where the club took the top four medals – two of the competitors in this division had never been in a tournament before. The other big standout and perhaps the most heartwarming was the performance by 9-yearold Nola Cooledge who received a gold and silver and the tournament’s junior sportsmanship award. “Despite a recent personal family tragedy, Cooledge has shown great sportsmanship, grace and dignity for

someone so young,” Tippenhauer says. This year’s Challenge Cup tournament featured Karate BC trained officials officiating two rings and another ring totally dedicated to speed, agility and quickness, with kids able to play in this ring under supervision while the tournament went on. The skills in the ring are designed to aid in the athletes’ development while having fun. “We look forward to next years tournament again focusing on developing young athletes skills so they can use them when they move into a more competitive environment with higher level divisions,” Tippenhauer adds. “Karate has been chosen as one of the new olympic sports ■ ■ ■ ■

Yes, bikes are awesome and getting new goodies for them is really exciting. I admit I get as excited as anyone and agree these definitely merit a quick mention at the beginning of the ride.

This is the time of year when those fishing Discovery Passage for salmon will find it more of a challenge but it can be done – those getting out are catching fish. Harry Macdonald went out Monday and kept two feeder springs and released one close to a keeper. Springs caught have to be 21 ½ inches to keep. Tomic plugs in various colors were working and in addition to fishing crabbing was good in the area. Coho in the rivers is coming to an end but a few silvers are coming into the Oyster River. I noticed a lot of eggs in the Oyster and where the ripples run into quiet water, a number of eggs can be seen floating around and I was surprised the trout were not in the pool. I fished with Ed Cargill and a silver bodied fly with orange hackle got the attention of a nice dark chum hen that was released. A number of anglers from the Qualicum
results. On Tuesday an angler who was fishing from a pontoon boat caught a number of trout and the best shoreline fishing was happening late morning.
Fly caught Quinsam River coho.
Beach area were casting out flies in the lower pools. The male coho are really a bright red color and the spawn is almost over. The Puntledge River in Courtenay will have a number of anglers throwing out spoons for Chums and the closure will be Nov. 30. Local lakes can be very good for trout and this week my fishing included Echo on the weekend. Trout were surfacing and the bite was on around four in the afternoon when a couple of onepound fish were netted. On Tuesday, the fish were tight to the shoreline and a number eight deer hair bodied fly was getting
The Vancouver Island Trout Hatchery has finished the fall stocking of lakes on Vancouver Island and a total of 53,914 trout have been put into lakes and they are all a catchable size. All trout are between 200 and 231 grams in size and water temperature of the lakes is between 9 and 13 degrees C. In November I prefer the days to be cloudy with a bit of drizzle rather than clear and cold. Last year I fished well into December and while the bugs are gone, any minnow imitation in a grey, black or brown color will get action on the fly. Last year I fished the local lakes well into December and the upper elevation lakes can get a dusting of snow at any moment.

The Board of Directors of the Multicultural and Immigrant Services Association (MISA) is pleased to announce the appointment of Jim Brennan as executive director. Brennan has been with MISA, known in our communities as the Immigrant Welcome Centre, for over 4 years in a senior management role and recently served as Interim Executive Director. “Jim knows the organization, its staff, partners and funders and has been an integral part of establishing the culture and direction of MISA. He also brings a solid background of successful management experience in both the private and not-for-profit sector,” says Layne Marshal,
$246
Board Chair. “With the support of the previous Executive Director and the staff, it was an easy decision for the Board”. Brennan is ready to take on the role and looking forward to the opportunities ahead. “Change is the only constant in our field”, he says. “Keeping up with changes to immigration programs and funding requirements is always a challenge but also means there is new opportunities. The previous Executive Director, Rachel Blaney, along with the staff and volunteers have, built MISA into a highly respected organization that truly makes a difference to our clients and our communities. I know I have a big role to fill and I’m eager to take it on”.
Experts in immigrant services since 1992, the Immigrant Welcome Centre assists newcomers to Canada to successfully settle in our communities by offering help with housing, access to government and local services, education, and employment. The organization also coordinates several initiatives that address diversity and inclusiveness including the annual Walk Away From Racism and the Welcoming Communities Coalition. The Immigrant Welcome Centre operates offices in Campbell River and the Comox Valley and also offers services to clients throughout the north island.

Community Relations Manager
Independent Living retirement communities offer “hospitality services” such as meals, laundry, cleaning, social and recreational programs, emergency response, entertainment, etc. If one needs a little extra help, an Assisted Living community may be the best choice.
Berwick
PROCESS
In British Columbia all Assisted Living communities must be registered with the Provincial Government. This does not mean they are funded or run by the government – simply put, the expectation of care services offered are within levels the government believes to be reasonable for these communities. Some types of services provided in an Assisted Living environment are: • Medication monitoring and reminders • Assistance with activities of daily living, such as dressing, bathing and grooming • There is a nurse in charge of managing the Assisted Living services, but most often the connection with the resident is a certified, trained care aide professional Sometimes you will find Assisted Living services within an Independent Living Community – which means residents receive those extra services in their own suite – offered by staff they know and trust. Ultimately, each resident living in an Assisted Living community must be able to make decisions and act in their own best interest. Wendy Mayers is your local Senior Living Community Relations Expert. If you have any questions, or would like to chat, please contact Wendy at Berwick by the Sea, 250-914-8055 or email her at berwickbythesea@berwickrc.com.

As he got out of his limousine, he looked alone and small, somewhat harmless and innocuous, no longer the commanding force that once shaped the psyche of the entire country by the power of his will. Later at Rideau Hall, Prime Minister-designate Justin Trudeau and his 30 cabinet members took their oaths of office. The solemnity quickly became a carnival, a joyful celebration of renewal, a reclaimed vitality and freshness. The country suddenly felt alive and young, no longer ruled by a single leader but now led into its promising tomorrows by a cabinet family with experience, expertise, insight and competence. In a matter of moments the healing seemed to begin, the impossible felt as if it were once again possible. The world, no longer covered in leather, was once more alive and responsive beneath feet that could again feel and respond to its urgent needs.

Get the answers and support you need to ease the transition to college at NIC’s first-ever Parent Student Information Night, Tuesday, November 17, at NIC’s Comox Valley campus, starting at 7 p.m. NIC will also share information about dual and guaranteed admis-
sion degree pathways with UVic, VIU and universities across BC. The college recently renewed its UVic partnership guaranteeing high school and college students UVic admission, while they study at NIC. Students save $10,000 a year on tuition, rent and living expenses and are eligible for scholarships and awards from both institutions. The agreement applies to arts, science, engineering and fine arts
students interested in attending UVic. However, faculty from every program area – from business to fine arts, nursing, tourism and trades and technology programs will be ready to talk about programs and courses they are passionate about. “Sometimes students ask about which business degree they should focus on or which trade has the best job prospects,” said Kuhnert. Advisors will also be
available to answer application questions, as well as provide information about scholarships and funding opportunities. The information night is geared toward Grade 12 students and their families, but any community member can attend. The event runs in NIC’s Stan Hagen Theatre at the Comox Valley campus, on Tuesday, November 17, starting at 7 p.m. For more information, contact Lori Boray at 250-334-5267.

Plan will market Vancouver Island and Sunshine Coast trails to world regions,” said Dave Petryk, President and CEO of Tourism Vancouver Island. “Now that we have that baseline data, we can start the work of developing a strategic plan to align visitor needs and expectations with the supply of trails here on the Island and Sunshine Coast.” The project will see coordination and collaboration between stakeholder groups with an eye to identifying the gaps in our trail product and how the region can work together to improve and transform these existing assets into international market ready tourism attractions. “We’ve seen the success that has come from ICET investments in some of the region’s more well-

known assets, like the Wild Pacific Trail, the Sunshine Coast Trail or the North Coast Trail,” said ICET Chair Phil Kent. “Hiking trails are a significant attractor for visitors to our region, and they play a role in broader economic activity too.” Kent said that communities are recognizing that infrastructure like hiking trails will not only appeal to visitors and attract tourism sector businesses, but also play a significant role in encouraging entrepreneurs of all stripes to relocate or launch a business in the region. “Employees today are seeking work-life balance, and with advances in technology like broadband internet, many companies no longer
need to be in major metropolitan areas to be successful,” he said. “Access to amazing hiking trails can help companies recruit and retain workers who value an outdoor lifestyle, and that translates into more economic activity in our region.” Tourism Vancouver Island has pegged the value of this secondphase project at $60,000, and ICET is a funding partner for $30,000 of the total. Recreation Sites and Trails BC will be providing $20,000, with the region’s communities providing the balance of funding for the project. “The province, through Recreation Sites and Trails BC, is pleased to be able to support an important, collaborative project that will benefit
not only trail users living on and visiting Vancouver Island, but will also provide opportunities and economic benefits to many communities across the Island,” said Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Minister Steve Thomson. The project is expected to get underway shortly, with completion anticipated in early 2016. About the Island Coastal Economic Trust The Island Coastal
Economic Trust is a $50 million endowment established in 2006 by the Government of British Columbia to help diversify the economies of central and northern Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast. ICET is guided by a Board of Directors and two Regional Advisory Committees which include more than 50 locally elected officials and MLAs and five appointees. This exceptional team of leaders collaborates to set
regional priorities and build vital multi-regional networks. Through a community-centred decisionmaking process, ICET has approved $49 million for over 140 economic infrastructure and economic development readiness projects on the Island and Sunshine Coast since implementing its grant program in 2007. ICET investments have leveraged over $271 million in incremental funding into the region.

When surveys show that 50 per cent of visitors to Vancouver Island and Sunshine Coast choose to go hiking during their visits here, even if it was not their primary motivation for coming, it makes sense to leverage that fact and create a plan to effectively market, manage, and improve the hiking trails in the region. Tourism Vancouver Island is embarking on the second phase of a three-phase project to do exactly that, and the Island Coastal Economic Trust is a partner in funding the multi-year project. “In Phase 1, we created an inventory and user-friendly database of 235 ‘market-ready’ trails in the Vancouver Island and Sunshine Coast

Shoebox Project for Women returns for third year
T
he Shoebox Project for Women in Campbell River will once again be accepting donations of shoeboxes filled with personal items at their three drop-off locations from until Dec. 4. The shoeboxes will be given out in time for the holidays to women who have accessed shelter or outreach services over the past year in the Campbell River area. The Shoebox Project for Shelters, is a charitable initiative that seeks to brighten the day of women in need in our community and to provide an easy way for Canadians to give back and make a difference. This is the third year of the initiative here in Campbell River – where more than 230 shoeboxes were delivered to women in the community last year. Shoebox coordinators Alison Skrepneck
and Linda Carlson are asking members of the community to fill shoeboxes with personal items that a woman might like – little luxuries that a woman would enjoy but may not have access to or the means to purchase for herself in times of difficulty. The small gesture of filling a shoebox, decorating it and including an inspirational card has a big impact on the woman who receives it. Making a box valuing about $50 is easy and can be done alone, with family, friends or other group. Suggested items include body or hand lotions, makeup – such as mascara, lipstick and nail polish – chocolates, cookies or candies, toothpaste, toothbrush or floss, shampoo, conditioner, a brush or comb, mitts, hats or scarves, gift cards, or even movie or pool passes.
Shoeboxes should be decorated with pretty holiday paper, a bow or ribbon, but with the lid wrapped separately, as they must be opened for inspection before they can be distributed. Once filled, the decorated shoeboxes can be taken to one of the drop-off locations in Campbell River from until Dec. 4. Those locations are Coastal Community Credit Union in Discovery Harbour, Serendipity in the Garden on Shoppers Row and Sundance Java Bar in Sunrise Square in Willow Point. Donations to the Shoebox Project are also accepted at shoeboxproject.com. Tax receipts will be issued for any donation over $10. The Shoebox Project is a charitable initiative that delivers shoeboxes to women who are homeless for any reason and believes that a
small gesture can make a big difference. It was founded in Toronto by four sisters-in-law in 2011 and now operates in 32 cities across Canada. In 2014, shoeboxes were delivered to 17,000 women in shelters and outreach programs across the country. Visit shoeboxproject. com for more information about the initiative and look for the Campbell River page, head over and like them on Facebook or call Skrepneck at 250-203-9360 or Carlson at 250-2025039.
The Shoebox Project for Women will be accepting donations through Dec. 4 at any of their three locations – Coastal Community Credit Union in Discovery Harbour, Serendipity in the Garden on Shoppers Row and Sundance Java Bar in Sunrise Square in Willow Point. Last year over 230 shoeboxes were distributed to women in our community.

still alive, you have to respect the wishes of the individuals concerned. Their right to privacy trumps your desire to solve the puzzle, so you may be done before you begin. Beyond that, it’s like looking for a needle in a haystack. Depending on when and where the adoption took place, you may be foiled at every turn. In the midtwentieth century when privacy was paramount, adoption records were sealed. Often alternate birth certificates were issued, naming only the adoptive parents. Place and date of birth might be changed too. In the U.S., because each state controls their own adoption laws, you need to familiarize yourself accordingly and contact
the appropriate authorities. In Canada and the U.K., adoptions prior to 1929 were private affairs, so there will likely be no legal documentation. In large families, children were often farmed out to aunts or cousins. A child born out of wedlock might be adopted by the biological mother’s sister or mother. Orphans or the very poor were the responsibility of the community and might be put into the care of farmers or storekeepers who would put the child to work while seeing to his or her physical needs. But these things weren’t generally documented, so genealogists need to be creative and
look beneath some rocks. Diaries, letters, and wills can all provide clues. A census may show a child with a different surname than the other members of the household. Hospital and baptismal records may show illegitimate births. Juvenile court records,
poor farm records, orphanage resident lists, and charity case files may provide missing information. Legal files may contain guardianship agreements. Any clue is worth pursuing, because you just never know when the pieces will come together.
Myths & realities:
“Mom, they don’t murder 3x9girls”

▾ MYTH: Girls and women aren’t allowed to join gangs: Reality: Girls are joining gangs across Canada and there are many documented reports of them being extremely violent. Girls are often used to hold and/or transport drugs and/or guns because the girls and the gangsters don’t think that the police will stop the girl…they are wrong.

To illustrate how family structures can change, consider Elizabeth Graham Hood (my husband’s relative on his mother’s side). She was born in 1831 in Glasgow Scotland. The following year, her mother and father—a doctor, died in an epidemic. Just one year old, Elizabeth and four of her siblings were put on a ship and sent to Simcoe, Ontario to be raised by their aunt. Elizabeth and her sister each married one of their cousins.

There is an endless supply of different types of homes available for purchase – ranging from condos to townhouses to fully-detached homes. The key is to decide what you can afford and which amenities you prefer before heading out shopping for a new home.
Craig Spikman
Your best first step is to seek the advice of a Dominion Lending Centres Mortgage Professional and get pre-approved on a mortgage. That way, you already know what your price range is – and, therefore, which type of home you’re in the market for – before you begin shopping.

If tears could build a stairway, and memories a lane, I’d walk right up to Heaven and bring you home again. No farewell words were spoken, no time to say goodbye. You were gone before I knew it, and only God knows why. My heart still aches in sadness and secret tears still žow, what it meant to lose you no one will ever know.

Photo of furry masked visitor earns third place in BC SPCA’s annual Wildlife-in-Focus photography contest
A
shy raccoon peeks over the edge of backyard fence, his masked face appearing on top of the fence and out from under a hedge. Captured on camera by Campbell River photographer Raymond Bennett, viewers might feel shy just looking through the lens. The photo placed Bennett third in the Backyard Habitats Category of the BC SPCA’s 2015 Wildlife-in-Focus Photography Contest. Contest participants submitted over 600
photos, helping to raise $4,085 for wild animals in need in British Columbia. “We live in one of the most beautiful places on earth and are surrounded by such a diversity of wild animals throughout the province,” says Dr. Sara Dubois, Chief Scientific Officer of the BC SPCA. “The photos of our local wildlife captured by such a wide range of photographers are absolutely stunning.” First prize winners in both categories will be featured in the BC
SPCA’s spring 2016 Animal Sense magazine and the top three in each category will receive a prize that may include gifts from Kerrisdale Cameras, Vancouver Whale Watch, Vancouver Photowalks, Astrosatchel, LUSH Cosmetics, Starbucks at UBC Tech, or a Wild ARC prize pack. Visit the BC SPCA online at spca.bc.ca/ wildlife-in-focus to view the incredible photos captured by amateur photographers across British Columbia. The annual contest
THE MUKLUKS ARE HERE! THE MUKLUKS ARE HERE! Canadian Manufactured Mukluks & Moccasins New Companies & New Styles Including Exclusive Designs
runs from June through September each year and encourages participants to actively explore green spaces, roadsides, beaches and their own back yards to find striking images of local wildlife living in such close proximity of humans. “Wildlife” includes freeliving birds, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, fish and insects but not exotic, feral or domestic animals, or wildlife in zoos or rehabilitation facilities. Photos from past contest winners can also be viewed anytime.
This photo of a peekaboo raccoon earned Campbell River photographer Raymond Bennet a third place finish in the BC SPCA’s 2015 Wildlifein-Focus Photography Contest. This photo was entered in the Backyard Habitats category.

America. A couple of years later it had moved ahead of Yellow Tail Shiraz both in the US and in Canada. Sweeter wines have always been in fashion in the USSR and many adjacent European countries. Tucked between Romania and Ukraine, Moldova – which split from the Soviet Union in 1991 - has a climate which is moderately continental. Introduced to Alberta in 2013, and made in Moldova, Lonely Shaman wines have recently become available in British Columbia. Self-described as ‘semi-sweet’, the wines are more ‘off-dry’ than sweet. Lonely Shaman Merlot (859454) $15.15 ‘Semi-sweet’ red is a deliciously off-dry blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Lonely Shaman Chardonnay (516823) $17.05

hen Yellow Tail Shiraz (624544) $11.49 made its amazing debut in North America in 2001, it shook the wine world. By 2003 it was by far the best selling imported wine and by 2005 it had sales of 7.5 million cases in North America. An overwhelming number of wine lovers obviously liked the sweeter, fruitier style of Yellow Tail Shiraz. Wine without measureable residual sugar tastes sweeter thanks to exceptionally ripe grapes and higher alcohol - because alcohol itself tastes sweet! Modern stainless steel winemaking also contributes. California’s E&J Gallo brought their equally phenomenally successful Apothic Red (125617) $12.70 to wine lovers all over North

in 2013. Behind its flamboyantly colourful upside down label it offers a fruit salad of lemon, apple, apricot and mango flavours that will please any sweet tooth. A lighter style of red, Vibrant Vine Phantom (75424) $20.45 oozes juicy red strawberries and raspberries. Delicate red berry flavours, sweet fruit and a faintly herbaceous note from a splash of Syrah make this quite a unique and complex red wine. It is difficult to grow wine grapes that ripen consistently, year after year, on Vancouver Island. Even when the weather is sunny and warm, Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands are technically cool climate growing regions. Grapes grown in the world’s warmer regions ripen quickly and can
make lusciously sweet, big wines that are low in acid and high in alcohol. Wine grapes grown in cooler regions including Ontario, Germany, northern France, as well as Vancouver Island tend to have refreshingly higher acidity and more subtle flavours. Acknowledging the difficulties of ripen wine grapes consistently there are a handful of wineries on Vancouver Island that have chosen to make fruit based wines. Coastal Black is an award winning fruit winery on the outskirts of the Comox Valley. A busy enterprise, the farm is made up of four generations living and working together to produce wine, fresh market fruit, raw honey and custom milled lumber. The flagship wine Coastal Black Blackberry (151472) $18.40 is rich in its blackberry
depth and well-structured with natural fruity acidity, it pairs well with local bison or lamb and gives some serious body splashed into sauces in place of grape wines. Made from Estate produced honey Coastal Black Spiced Mead (646059) $19.20 showcases the subtle fireweed nectar with hints of cinnamon and ginger. This wine enhances any traditional holiday meal and is great to share with friends around a glowing hearth. There are always wines that are sweeter than you might think!

(Above and below) Chase Ingalls, left, and his father and coach Jodey will begin a 10-week intensive training program after Chase’s next fight, in hopes he can soon turn pro and join Lion Fight Muay Thai kickboking in Las Vegas.
850-13th Avenue, Campbell River 250-287-7191 1-888-287-7191 www.carpetone.com
here’s a lot more strategy involved in kickboxing than people might realize – it’s not just about who can kick and punch the other person more, it’s also about keeping from being punched and kicked. One Campbell Riverite knows more about that than most people in the world. Chase Ingalls is a three-time world champion, the current B.C. Men’s champion, Canadian champion and North American champion. The 23 year-old has been into martial arts, “since I taught him how to do a front kick at the age of three,” his father Jodey says, but only started “taking it seriously” about eight years ago.
Save
Jodey owns and operates Pure Martial Arts on Pier Street, where Chase also instructs the next generation of athletes when he’s not actually training. “To be good, I pretty much have to live here,” Chase says, looking around the gym, the sweat still dripping off his face from his last training session. “It’s a lifestyle. It’s not a hobby.” Thankfully, he says, he’s lucky enough to have a father who owns a gym, “so I can come in here and use the bags, train, and take advantage of the training facility. That being said, your body only lasts for a couple of hours of hard training.” So that’s what he does. He trains hard for a couple of hours at a time. Whatever his body can take. In between training sessions, he teaches martial arts or fitness classes at the gym or goes for a run. In between teaching sessions or runs, he studies his upcoming opponent and other people’s fighting styles. In between these things he fuels up with food. Then he does another training session. “Eat it, live it, breathe it,” he says. Too bad he can’t make a living at it, as many others do. It’s illegal to get paid to kick box in B.C. “Right now we’re working super hard with a group of highlevel trainers to get it legal here,” Jodey says. “It’s weird, because we brought in MMA, which in my view is a much

more brutal situation.” “It’s held back,” Chase agrees. “Don’t get me wrong, it is a violent sport – a lot of people don’t like seeing someone get elbowed in the face. That being said, it’s kinda funny to say, ‘you can kick somebody bare-shinned – which is basically a sharpened baseball bat – but you can’t elbow, and you can’t use your knees.’” Elsewhere on the planet, kickboxing is revered like hockey is in Canada, Chase says. It’s the national sport of Thailand. In Europe it’s frequently on national television. Glory Kickboxing, the largest kickboxing organization in the world, just signed a contract with ESPN, the self-proclaimed – and rightly so – “Worldwide Leader in Sports,” to air future events internationally. “I’m not harshing on Canada,” Chase says. “It is what it is. But Canada’s got world-class fighters that are just unheard of.” Gabriel Varga, based out of Victoria, for example, recently captured the Glory Featherweight Title in Dubai. But while Canadian fighters in other disciplines – George St. Pierre comes to mind for most people – get national and international recognition, fame, and fortune, kick boxers like Chase work in their father’s gym while trying to schedule two or three fights a year and fight for free to get enough experience to move elsewhere for the opportunity to make a living at it. Fortunately, Chase has been doing well enough, built his name up enough and won
enough fights against high-level opponents that people are coming from all over the world to fight him now, Jodey says, so he doesn’t have to go out and find cards to fight on. People have flown in from as far away as the Netherlands, France and England. His last opponent wasn’t from quite as far away. Last month in Victoria, Chase beat Andrew Vandervelden of Airdrie, Alta. in 1:08 by knockout, taking Chase’s career amateur record to 20-0-0. So after his next fight, scheduled for this coming weekend in Victoria, Chase plans on going pro, despite it meaning he’ll have to go elsewhere to do it. He and Jodey will be starting an intensive 10-week training camp together at the gym after this weekend’s fight in Victoria in anticipation of joining Lion Fight Muay Thai in Las Vegas. “We just want one more amateur,” Jodey says, “and then we’ll be ready.” They could use some financial support to make it happen, though. “We’ve had a couple of people come and step up and support him (financially), but it’s been tough to find sponsorship,” Jodey says, in part because the sport itself isn’t very recognized. Chase is hoping to change that by continuing to win. Anyone interested in helping with sponsorship can contact Jodey at the gym at 922 Island Highway downtown across from Robert Ostler Park, by phone at 250-286-6980 or by email at pureself@telus. net

BOOMERS & Beyond Travel benefits for those ages 50 and up One of the best things about aging is being able to enjoy the fruits of your labor without as many obligations as you might have had when you were a younger adult. For example, many men and women have a lot more freedom to travel once they turn 50. Many of today’s older adults have a wealth of discretionary time, and those who focused on retirement planning from an early age have the money to fund a recreational lifestyle. Travel companies and other businesses understand that
to miss out on a discount because you cannot verify you are 50 or older. Though being mistaken as younger could be a boost to your ego, it will not benefit your bottom line.
Baby Boomers and other seniors are valuable customers and are rolling out the red carpet with a bevy of discounts and perks. Many travel companies have discounts or other perks available to men and women over 50. All consumers need to do is inquire about such benefits. When in doubt, log on to the company’s website or give their customer service department a call. Here are some other ways to secure deals on travel and other services. • Do some networking. Fellow
• Explore airline perks. Men and women 55 and older may be eligible for “golden-agers” discounts at major airlines. Such deals are not typically advertised, so you may need to speak with an airline representative to secure the discount. Seniors also can request special services, such as baggage assistance, priority seating and a ride to the gate, at the airport.
Scheduling flexibility and discounts are just two of the perks awarded senior travelers. seniors who log in to chat rooms or who are members of social clubs may have the inside scoop on age-based travel deals. Learn the ropes from others who have been there before you and take notes on which companies

offer the best deals. • Read the fine print. Understand the details of senior discounts and compare them to other promotions offered to anyone, regardless of age. You may be able to get a better deal or combine offers if you’re not locked
into a senior plan. Also, check the dates when deals are valid to ensure you can travel when you want to. • Always carry proof of age. Whether it is a driver’s license, passport, or birth certificate, carry proof of your age at all times. You do not want

The BIGGEST threats for many retirees are...... 1. Not enough capital from which to earn an income – interest rates are very low & government benefits are insufficient. 2. Living too long – outliving your nest egg. 3. Health – cost of senior care homes is exorbitant and can quickly wipe out everything you have accumulated all your life. This FREE seminar is designed for those 55 plus in age. We will be looking at options available for securing a dependable, livable retirement income. Did you know that if you have at least $82,000 you could retire immediately with a secure income of over $4,000 a month indefinitely?

• Try negotiating with vendors. If you cannot find a senior discount, consider negotiating with vendors for deals. Local hotels or businesses may prove more flexible than national chains. It never hurts to ask for a senior discount. • Embrace flexibility in scheduling. Unlike students or business travelers, seniors tend to have freedom with regard to the days of the week when they can travel. You have the flexibility to go and come as you please without having to coordinate with vacation time or school breaks. Use this to your advantage and travel during offpeak times when crowds will be small and rates may be lower. Don’t feel down if you’re approaching another milestone birthday. Entering into your golden years gives you access to a variety of perks and discounts that can save you time and money on travel.

Do you have an interesting story about a local Boomer? We'd like to know!
There is home for pensioners Ken Crause, President – Crause & Associates
Many pensioners have been struggling over the last decade to maintain a decent retirement income because of low interest rates coupled with the ever increasing cost of living. Many have been forced to live off a line of credit on the equity in their home and some have simply sold their homes and are quickly depleting their capital. What are the options
and which is best? Is it even possible to earn an above average retirement income without having to be super wealthy? At 2.5% interest, it would take $1.8 million to produce an income of $4,400 a month. If you chose to invest in mutual funds or stocks, and averaged 9% growth per annum you would still need $577,000 to produce that income.
Crause and Associates have discovered a little known pension option that could produce that same income from only $83,000 and they are out to tell seniors all about it and radically change their retirement outlook. Crause and Associates are getting the word out by means of free education seminars and webinars. According to Ken Crause
there are numerous problems facing seniors, such as not having enough money, and health problems requiring care in a senior care facility or even in home care. Ken has over 18 years experience working with seniors in retirement and Estate Planning. As a former notary in Saskatchewan Ken has years of experience in Estate preservation and

t’s time for the annual pottery extravaganza known as the Holiday Pottery Sale and Show set to take place tomorrow at the Campbell River Sportsplex and running from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. with free admission. There are many exceptional potters in this region. There is a long history of artisans creating vessels for our kitchens and art pieces for our homes here. Fortunately, this tradition is being carried on by a number of emerging artists as well, and this month both seasoned clay veterans and innovative novices will unite under the Sportsplex roof to bring their wares to market. Over 30 clay artists from Campbell River, Quadra and the Comox Valley will be represented in the annual sale. One of the new potters from Campbell River is Laura Gosnell.

CAMPBELLTON
C
AMPBELLTON Neighbourhood AssociAtioN
New streetlights coming in Campbellton By John Twigg, Secretary, Campbellton Neighbourhood Association The Campbellton Neighbourhood Association's long-standing request for better street lighting in the area is about to be met by B.C. Hydro. Hydro spokesman Stephen Watson confirmed that a work order has been issued to local crews to begin the installation of 20 new streetlights in coming weeks. That partially answers requests for new lights submitted about a year ago by the CNA to both Hydro and the City of Campbell River
after inventories of the neighbourhood's assets and liabilities discovered that the area had too few lights for modern standards and that the lights it does have tended to be old, dim and with short arm overhangs, posing some added dangers to pedestrians and vehicles. Those needs were studied by a retired Hydro employee who produced a map showing several dozen spots where old lights need to be replaced and other sites where new lights need to be added; some
of those are for sites in City-managed locations that may also be addressed by the City in next year's budget. "This is great news for Campbellton," said CNA chair Brian Shaw, noting it will make the area a safer place to live and work this winter and for years ahead. The improved lighting is the latest of several street improvements flowing from the lobbying begun by the CNA soon after it was formed about four years ago; others include several blocks of new sidewalks, some pedestrian crossing lights, a new light-controlled intersection at 14th and Petersen and most recently a major safety upgrade on the Petersen Road hill.

This year all 22 beds were taken in a season that started late but still succeeded in producing crops and most of those plots are spoken for next year too but the CNA will consider adding another 20 beds or so in a potential Phase 2 expansion of its designated space in a community park on 15th Avenue near Petersen Road. If at least 10 people from anywhere in the city register to take a plot then the CNA will proceed with the expansion, but if not then it will wait until 2017 or later.

ver since I moved to the West Coast ten years ago, I’ve dreaded Christmas. I came from a large extended family on the Prairies where the entire Season was filled with festive activities – and have precious memories of times with fun, food, and significant and meaningful connections. I miss that noisy, bustling bunch – and I am lonely without them. Over the years, I’ve tried asking people what they were doing for Christmas, hoping to find someone else who was longing for company, but I finally stopped asking. I couldn’t bear to hear about other families’ holiday plans. My husband and I went out to a restaurant by ourselves once for Christmas dinner, and have never felt so lonely in our lives.

Build-a-Whale will open to the public for two Sundays
F
or the last several months the Discovery Passage Aquarium has been host to the skeleton of an offshore killer whale. The bones of this mature female, ‘O120’ were preserved by a westcoast not-for-profit group, the Strawberry Isle Marine Research Society after she died of natural causes in 1997. The group had the foresight to develop the bones into an educational prop, and now O120 provides interactive learning experiences that help educate about orca and the threats we humans pose to them. While based here in Campbell River, the skeleton has been the subject of many presentations to different groups – including local schools, homeschoolers, Brownies, Beavers, and even a pre-school group. Both Cedar Elementary and Ecole Willow Point PACs have funded the whale to be in their schools for a week, and classes have been engaged in a variety of programming and
independent study. O120 was also the focal subject of a wellattended talk by Jackie Hildering, aka ‘The Marine Detective,’ which was part of the Public Science Speaker Series put on by the Aquarium. “It’s a well-know thing that we all learn in very different ways,” said Explorer Lab manager Deb Cowper at the inaugural build at the aquarium at the end of summer. “From a book, you can learn a lot of different facts and things, but with this you can really feel and connect and really get a sense of it. “For example, I never really realized just how big she was until she arrived – and she’s actually a small version of an orca – and I was really able to see and feel and appreciate and connect to it more.” The Build-a-Whale has been kindly sponsored by Discovery Marine Safaris and their sister company, Stubbs Island
Whale Watching. Their generosity has enabled programming costs to be kept to a minimum as part of the launch of the Aquarium’s new educational facility, the Explorer Lab, located by the Maritime Heritage Centre. For the last two Sundays of this month the public will have opportunity to Builda-Whale at the Explorer Lab. Two sessions will be held on each of the 22nd and 29th of November. Those with younger children are encouraged to attend the morning presentations, starting at 10 a.m., while the afternoon events will be geared to an older audience and begin at 2 p.m. Each fun and informative session lasts one hour, and costs $5 per person (children under 5 are free). Bookings are required, and can be made by emailing deb@discoverypassageaquarium.ca or by leaving a message at 250-914-5500.

Make sure your firewood is legal Mike Davies Campbell RiveR miRRoR
The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations is reminding British Columbians – now that the autumn is well and truly here – to ensure the firewood they use in their wood stoves and fireplaces has been harvested legally. The Ministry has released a statement saying that while collection of firewood from crown lands is legal, firewood must only be collected by those with firewood permits – which are free – and only from designated areas. “Cutting down trees on Crown land without an appropriate permit, or selling any such firewood, is an ongoing concern in British Columbia,” the statement reads. “This activity is illegal and could result in a violation ticket or fine. It could also create safety hazards for recreationalists and other forest users, and negatively affect ecosystems – including fish and wildlife habitats.” Legitimate commercial firewood producers, the statement says, will have a “Forestry License to Cut” document signed by the Ministry, and they anyone purchasing firewood ask the seller where they firewood comes from (Crown or private land) and ask for a record of
purchase. They also recommend that purchasers ask for the lot number and timber mark number for wood har-
vested on private land. For more information on firewood permits, or to obtain one, go online to gov.bc.ca/firewood-

Record number of female MPs elected by voters TERRY FARRELL BLACK PRESS
The 2015 federal election produced a record number of female Members of Parliament. Eighty-eight women will represent their respective constituencies when Parliament reconvenes later this month, and for the second time in the past decade, the North Island will have a female representative. When NDP candidate Rachel Blaney won the North Island-Powell River riding on Oct. 19, it marked the second time a woman had been elected by the constituents of North Vancouver Island. Catherine Bell, also of the NDP, sat in Parliament for that riding from 2006-2008. The 88 MPs elected this time around is a record number for this country, accounting for 26 per cent of the seats in the House of Commons. While Blaney is happy with those numbers, she said there is still work to do. “We have 88 women representing this time,
which is fantastic - we are seeing the increase but it’s true that there are still not enough women exploring it,” said Blaney. “I think one of the things we have to ask ourselves is why there are still so few women exploring politics as an option. “It’s hard work … cultivating women to participate at all levels. It could be in riding associations, it could be in leadership positions. It’s really about cultivating that relationship with women and making sure that they are participating, and that takes work. Whenever you want a group to participate, you have to work at it. It’s more than just saying ‘I hope it works.’” Of the 1,428 candidates running for office this past election, 472 were women, accounting for 33.1 per cent. The North Island-Powell River riding was one of the few that had more female candidates than male candidates. Blaney, Conservative hopeful Laura Smith and Brenda Sayers of the Green Party were all vying for the seat. Liberal
Rachel Blaney was one of a record number of women elected as Members of Parliament in the Oct. 19 federal election.
candidate Peter Schwarzhoff was the only male candidate. With Bell as a previous federal representative, and Claire Trevena now in her third term as the (provincial) North Island MLA, this area of Vancouver Island has proven itself to be welcoming to female representation. “It is encouraging,” said Blaney. “Just know-
ing that someone had gone through this journey that I was venturing upon was great. And I got a lot of positive feedback throughout the campaign about having Catherine Bell as a leader in that part of the riding, and about how impactful her work was.” She added having Bell in her corner was helpful. “In the beginning,
when I was first thinking about running for the nomination, I had discussions with Catherine, just to ask her what it was like and what her thoughts were, and she was very supportive. And throughout the whole campaign, if I had questions, she was there for me. So I really appreciated the mentorship.” Blaney said the record
number of women in the House of Commons adds to the diversity of Parliament, and diversity is a positive thing. “I think gender balance is really important,” said Blaney. “Having a more diverse group of people making decisions for the country just makes sense. When you think about the make-up of this country, the more diversity there is at the table having the discussions as to what needs to happen in Canada, the more balanced the approach will be. “There has been some outstanding research to show that the more diverse the group is, the more long-standing the solutions are. It may take a little longer to get the solutions sometimes, but those solutions are more meaningful, because they embrace a broader spectrum of people.” First Nation presence The diversity of the 338 MPs will be expanded as well with a record number of First Nations MPs elected. There will be
10 First Nations members of Parliament when it resumes, and while Blaney does not count as one of the 10, she could be considered an 11th at least in regards to her upbringing. “I am not First Nations biologically, at all, but when I was three I was actually adopted (by a First Nations family), so I grew up for quite a few years thinking I was,” she said. “It never occurred to me that I had come from anywhere else. They were my family.” Blaney grew up in Terrace. Her adoptive family was part of the Stellat’en First Nation. She said when she filed her nomination papers she was faced with a dilemma. Because of her upbringing, she could have identified herself as First Nation. She chose not to, out of respect for those who are biologically so. “That was a really hard one for me and in fact some members of my family were hurt that I did not (identify as First Nation),” she said.

Watch for the Carihi Mirror bi-weekly feature starting Friday, November 20th I’ve got a passion for life, and am always looking for the next great adventure. Last summer I spent more evenings in a tent on a mountain side than in my own bed. My love for nature goes hand in hand with my love for exercise and fitness. I bike to Cassidy Hinsberger school every morning and spend some afternoons running the local trails. All this fresh air and stimulation fuels my mind for writing. For the past three years I have been enjoying the world of writing and literature. The freedom and creativity that writing symbolizes inspires me. I am beyond excited for this opportunity to write for the Campbell River Mirror because I dream of pursuing a career in journalism. My goal is to learn as much as I can from the amazing team that will be guiding me. Each story is an adventure and I am excited to explore.
Even before I learned how to read and write, I had a passion for storytelling. I would come home from daycare with series of my own drawings and would “read” these drawings aloud to my mother. She acted as my scribe during the early years and recorded my stories as I told them. Fast forward Jasmine MacGregor to now. I am a grade 11 French immersion student with a love for film, music, and the great outdoors. As an active leadership student and a member of service groups such as Interact Club and the Youth Action Committee, I have gotten to know how dynamic and wonderful our community is. Writing for the Campbell River Mirror will be my first experience in journalism, a path that I am thrilled to explore. I look forward to telling stories from within the community with the same passion I possessed as a young girl.

When Nigel was younger he’d wake up as soon as the sun shone through the windows and force his parents to start their day earlier than desired so he could play RollerCoaster Tycoon. This would lead him to become a rather unsuccessful rollercoaster connoisseur. In his spare time Nigel loves to draw, specifically with mechanNigel Neufeld ical pencil as he enjoys the extra precision, write, read, play games (both physical and virtual), play different instruments (classical guitar, piano and trombone) and drive. He’s always had a passion for cars and never ceased to bug his family about fulfilling his dream to race at Saratoga Speedway. Now, at 17 he’s been racing for 5 years and has thoroughly enjoyed each and every minute of it. Basically anything with wheels brings Nigel pleasure, as he also really enjoys biking throughout the wonderful trails that hide in the many treed areas of Campbell River.

She has worked as an employment officer for the HFN and is the executive director of the Immigrant Welcome Centre, and Blaney’s husband is a former Chief and current council member of the Homalco First Nation. Blaney is looking
forward to playing an important role in the ongoing building of nation-to-nation relations. “That is going to be my goal,” she said. “I am hoping to work hard to see that the Government of Canada starts to embrace a more positive relationship. I think we need to move forward and start working for certainty. “I heard a lot of people saying, during my doorknocking, ‘we just want to see this relationship get better. We see it as an important relationship and if aboriginal groups do better, we will all do

aboriginal issues in this country are, and should be, prominent. It’s something that not only the aboriginal members of Parliament and the eight that are in our (Liberal) caucus need to address, but all members of Parliament need to address them effectively.”

We are located just off the Port Alberni Hwy. #4, about 10 minutes from Qualicum Beach. Turn off the Hwy at Carson Road. Carson Road makes a sharp turn to the left and becomes Harris Crescent. We are the 4th house on the left after the stop sign. Please join us for refreshments and a chance to win a gift. Bring this invitation and received $5 off any purchase over $50. Follow us on Facebook.
Start by painting both plates with a coat of brown paint. Set them aside to dry for a couple of hours. Meanwhile, make the reindeer’s antlers. Trace a child’s left and right hands (or your hands) twice on brown craft foam. Carefully cut both pairs of handprints out. Draw two ears on the tan craft foam or felt and cut them out. Those will be the inner section of the reindeer’s ears. Using the tan cutouts as a guideline, you can make a larger set by drawing around those shapes about half an inch wider all the way around. Cut those out and set them aside. When the paint is dry, glue the googly eyes onto the large plate. Then, glue the red pom-pom onto the smaller plate. Now it’s time to add the antlers. Glue one antler to another and then to the back of the large plate using hot glue. Each side should have two pairs of adorable handprint antlers.
