Share-A-Bear campaign another way to give back

The provincial government has announced the return of its annual Share-a-Bear campaign, which launches this week in BC Liquor Stores throughout the province. From now until Christmas, BC Liquor Stores customers can purchase a set of twin pandas for $12.50, and one of the twins will be shared with a local community

charity. Each year, BC Liquor Store employees select charities in their communities that help families in need—from children’s hospitals to shelters —then distribute the donated teddy bears in time for the holidays. Customers can also participate in a free draw for a giant panda bear

that is approximately 56 cm tall. Each BC Liquor Store will have two giant panda bears up for grabs. “The Share-a-Bear campaign is a central part of the annual holiday season in BC Liquor Stores,” says Lise Phang, visual presentation manager of the BC Liquor Distribution Branch in the announcement. “An annual tradition, this campaign

ushers the stores and its customers into the spirit of the holidays— sharing joy and happiness with those less fortunate.” Last year more than 23,000 bears were donated as part of the initiative. Over 600,000 bears have been donated to charities, shelters and hospitals since the program began in 1989.

The We Wai Kai Nation Council of Elders has removed Ralph Dick from the office of Chief after they determined he breached the nation’s Conflict of Interest Policy. “While we wish the decision did not fall to us, the Council of Elders members also swore an Oath of Office and are bound to uphold the Election Code and the Conflict of Interest Policy,” the Council of Elders say in a written decision, a copy of which was provided to the Mirror. A petition to remove Dick from the office of chief was presented to the Council of Elders after an external investigation determined Dick was in breach of his fiduciary duty after accepting a $12,000 share option from a business venture controlled by the We Wai Kai Nation (WWK).

Chief: Elders hand down decision

Continued from Pg. 1

The investigation, by Ratcliff & Company LLP of North Vancouver, was requested by We Wai Kai Council after a review of computer files of former band accountant Maurice Magowan. In removing Dick, the Council of Elders, which consisted of Chester Lewis, Mark Lewis and Sharon Maksymetz, was acting under the WWK Nation’s Election Code, Conflict of Interest Policy and Oath of Office. Two of the Council of Elders are brothers of the former Chief and were excluded from any of the discussions or proceedings. On Sept. 17, Ronald Chickite presented a petition requesting Chief Dick be “declared to have become disqualified from holding office as a Member of Council of the We Wai Kai First Nation based on the grounds of Chief Ralph Dick having breached his oath of office.” The petition was signed by more than 60 WWK members, the minimum required under the Election Code, and included a $2,000 security deposit. Chief Dick was informed of the petition on Oct. 2. He provided a sworn statement on Oct. 23 and a hearing was held Oct. 30. Chief Dick attended the Oct. 30 hearing on his own behalf and Ron

Chickite and Glenn Assu attend for the petitioners. Each side presented their points of view and each was able to reply to comments made by the other. The Council of Elders asked questions throughout the hearing. In a written investigation report for Ratcliff and Co. that determined Dick had breached his fiduciary duty, John R. Rich wrote that one of the transactions discovered in the computer records involved an option for a numbered company – whose directors were the Chief ’s wife and son – to purchase partnership agreements in the band-controlled Middle Point Harbour Limited Partnership (MPHLP). A n ot h e r t r ans a c tion was a payment of $12,000 to the same numbered company. “These transactions appeared inconsistent with the usual business practices of MPHLP, and were not previously known to the We Wai Kai administration or council,” the report stated. The $12,000 payment to the numbered company was then transferred to Chief Dick, who believed he was entitled to the $12,000 for services rendered to MPHLP. The We Wai Kai hold 51 per cent of the partnerships in the Middle Point Harbour Limited

Partnership, with Pacific Rim Harbour Developments (Tommy and Derek Pallan) owning the other 49 per cent. Chief Dick had been the We Wai Kai representative in the management of MPHLP when, in 2013, Magowan proposed there was an opportunity to acquire partnership units in MPHLP from Pacific Rim that would lead to a profit. The Chief declined on the grounds it would be a conflict of interest, but suggested that his son, Robbie Dick, might be interested in the opportunity. The Council of Elders hearing was convened to decide whether to uphold Chickite’s petition and declare Chief Dick to be disqualified from holding office and declare the office to be

vacant. After considering the evidence, the Council of Elders found that Chief Dick did direct the option agreement to his son, after declining it personally. The number company held by Chief Dick’s son and wife entered into the option agreement. “This is a clear breach of the Conflict of Interest Policy,” the Elders wrote. “Further, by failing to bring the potentially very lucrative option agreement to the attention of WWK rather than to his immediate family, Chief Dick failed to act in the best interests of WWK and breached his fiduciary duty to WWK.” The Council of Elders also found that Chief Dick did participate in the decision, and signed the resolution, to pay $12,000 to himself, pur-

the actions of WWK’s former accountant, Maurice Magowan, to be of concern as well. Magowan could not be reached for comment by press time. Chickite, who presented the petition to remove Dick from office, said it was a necessary action to take. When an official is not doing their job, someone has to step up. “Somebody had to do it,” he told the Mirror. “It wasn’t a ‘me-againstyou’ thing, it was just the right thing to do.” Chickite said the reaction to the situation in the community was mixed. Some people didn’t think it was a big deal while others did. Those who signed Chickite’s petition were upset enough to go that far. He got more than the required 60 band members and, in fact, stopped collecting them when he felt he had enough to

portedly in recognition of unpaid services to MPHLP. The $12,000 has been recovered. “We find that Chief Dick did not consult with or bring this matter to the attention of the Council, even though section 14 of the Conflict of Interest Policy allows for the Council to, in certain circumstances, approve a transaction that may give rise to a conflict of interest,” the Elders state. “Further, Chief Dick appears to have been aware of the conflict of interest, as the payment was made through the numbered company owned by his son and wife. “Accordingly, we find that Chief Dick breached the Conflict of Interest Policy.” Although not the subject of the petition, the Council of Elders found

show he had more than just the bare minimum. Chickite was pleased with how the case was handled by the Council of elders. This was a unique situation. As far as he knows, the council has never had to do anything like this before. “I am glad the Elders Council did their due diligence,” Chickite said. An election to replace Dick as chief will be held Jan. 5. In addition to electing a new chief, a byelection to replace a councillor will be held as well. Of f icia l comment from the Council of the We Wai Kai Nation was sought but could not be obtained in time for the Mirror’s deadline.

you do. “And if the reporting mechanism to the province doesn’t allow us to do that, then we need to make that statement to the minister that this is not truly reflective or realistic as to what we can achieve.” In the meantime, Zirnhelt said the city will continue on with energy retro fits, and is considering replacing its boiler system with a renewable energy system, as well as converting all of the city’s street lighting to LEDs. However, Zirnhelt said even with those initiatives, it will be “extremely difficult” for the city to achieve its 2020 target. “With the increase in corporate GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions reported…the city has to reduce emissions by an additional 124 tCO2e below 2008 levels,” Zirnhelt said. “As the city continues to grow and expand services, significant efforts need to be made to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to make meaningful progress toward these targets.” Still, Zirnhelt urged council to not dwell on the negatives, and pointed out that the city has been chosen as one of three communities across Canada to take part in a program run by Quest to lower carbon emissions. “Part of the reason we were selected is because our community and council are doing a lot of outstanding initiatives so I certainly think we should take pride in that and not lose site of those initiatives because they are making an impact.”

Spa Gift Certificates Conceptual designs show a possible new look for the exterior of the Tidemark Theatre. The theatre society is hoping to undertake facade improvements to make the theatre more prominent.

Tidemark facelift proposed reliance on grant funding,” Emsley-Leik said. “Signage promotes impulse buys and it also helps organizations establish their brand.” But that’s not all. Emsley-Leik said the theatre society wants to make further facade improvements in order to make the theatre more visible – things like improving the marquee Tidemark sign, and possibly painting the outside of the building, though there would be an extensive public consultation process should there be a desire to change the theatre’s infamous pink exterior. The most drastic changes proposed include a fenced in area in front of the theatre for possibly a beer garden and cafe seating. A food and beverage kiosk tucked into the corner of the theatre would complement the seating area. The society is also proposing the use of armatures – similar to the big red steel structures in nearby Spirit Square – to hold LED signs that would promote upcoming events. Emsley-Leik said the Tidemark Theatre Society is prepared to put in $35,000 towards the project. A portion would come from the

The Tidemark Theatre is proposing an overhaul to the outside of its building that includes outdoor cafe seating, a beer garden, and large signs to promote upcoming shows. Kim Emsley-Leik, managing director of the Tidemark Theatre Society, said the improvements are all in an effort to help develop a thriving arts and culture precinct downtown. It’s also to help the Tidemark carve out and solidify its identity. “The Sid Williams Theatre (in Courtenay) displays prominent signage on the side of their building. It typically shows three simple things – the name of the show, the date and also the time that it’s on,” Emsley-Leik told city council at its Monday meeting. “In contrast, the Tidemark Theatre displays no signage. “To a tourist you would not really know what this building is or what was going on in it every evening.” She said the benefits of adding outdoor signage are many. “It helps us promote our shows, helps us sell tickets and hopefully in theory, this helps us to have less

$18,000 the Tidemark has raised through its $2 per ticket capital improvement fee, and from its BC Gaming Funds ($17,000). Emsley-Leik told council on Monday that the society is hoping the city will contribute matching funds – roughly $15,000 for painting the outside of the building and between $10,000 and $76,000 for signage and infrastructure. While council did not make a decision on city funding at this week’s meeting, Emsley-Leik noted that city staff have included a request for design funding for council to consider during its 2016 budget deliberations, set to begin on Dec. 7. If the improvements do go ahead, they will join a long list of renovations and upgrades that the Tidemark has undertaken in the past few years which include: stage lighting upgrades, a new projector and screen, a new DCP projector, online ticketing upgrades, box office renovations, new seating, new flooring, and new indoor painting. “In the past four and a half years, we’ve completely changed the face of the Tidemark Theatre for years to come,” Emsley-Leik said. The society is hoping it’s just the beginning.

Pipe dreaming

Mr. Don Blower in his letter to the Campbell River Mirror on Nov. 20, 2015 suggested a pipeline corridor for oil and gas to West Coast tidewater, sponsored by Canadian senior governments and the oil industry. Former Prime Minister Stephen Harper developed Canada into a world oil producer. With a high Canadian dollar, high oil prices and a great energy demand in Asia, Canada did quite well. But in today’s economic reality, with low oil prices and a low Canadian dollar it makes no sense to sell $80 a barrel of oil from the tarsands for less than $50 on the world market and why should senior governments pay for such a pipe dream?

Why are we letting people die on our streets?

There are empty storefronts dotting almost every plaza and strip mall in the downtown core. There are churches, community centres and other public buildings that sit empty at night. There are open lots just waiting for construction crews to build something upon. And yet when the temperature gets down below freezing – because it’s winter and we live in Canada – people die on the street. Yes. Right here in Campbell River, people are dying on the street. And it’s because we are, as a society, denying people one of the fundamental human rights set out by the United Nations. Article 25 of the UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that, “Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of

Islamophobia is disappointing, but we cannot allow it to keep refugees from making a new home in Canada. A world that was already leery about immigration became more defensive about borders after this month’s terror attacks in Paris. It’s led, too often, to outright racism. Fear of terror is understandable, but rejection of refugees is an unreasonable reaction and a non-sequitur. Canada’s new federal government is expected to announce a strategy on the refugee file today (Nov. 24) as it works toward its campaign promise of bringing 25,000 Syrians here. Many are saying that figure is an unrealistic ideal and are suggesting that government revise We say: Rejecting the its timeline to allow for refugees is an further discussion surrounding planning, unreasonable screening, logistics and response social programs. Of course, those are all crucial discussions that will impact both the shortterm and long-range outcomes of mass immigration. That said, the Syrian refugee situation is being called a “crisis” for a reason, and crises don’t always allow for the same measured response Canadians might otherwise expect. We know that refugees will require a great deal of our scarce – relatively scarce, that is – social assistance resources. But we hate the sentiment that refugees will be taking from Canadians. Because isn’t the notion that people can come here and be Canadians the very best reason to help in this crisis? We don’t know if 25,000 is the right number or a realistic number. It’s a number that’s going to bring about some difficulties and challenges, and most importantly, some success stories. Let’s try to help 25,000 refugees until we can’t, or until we miss our deadline, and then let’s keep trying after that. -Black Press

rise in income for most people in our society. That’s the opposite of helping. “Another misunderstanding is that the right to adequate housing does not impose immediate obligations on the State,” the report also clarifies. “On the contrary, States must make every possible effort, within their available resources, to realize the right to adequate housing and to take steps in that direction without delay.” The fact that Canada doesn’t have a national housing strategy – the only G8 country without one at this point – puts us in contravention of the UN’s resolution. “States’ obligations towards the full realization of the right to adequate housing include taking measures to prevent homelessness,” the report says. “Among the steps to be taken immediately … (are) determining the extent of homelessness, as well as adopting a national housing strategy which should reflect extensive genuine consultation with the homeless.” We’re waiting, Justin. And while we wait, people are dying in the cold.

A Look Back

THE HISTORY OF THE CAMPBELL RIVER AREA Once upon a loggers Christmas

MEGAN PURCELL

MUSEUM AT CAMPBELL RIVER

hristmas is thought of as a time for family and friends, for gaiety and grandeur. For those living in a city, that can be fairly easy to come by. But what about the loggers in the early years, the men living in camps along the BC coast, or working two-man operations in the bush who rarely saw family or friends? It could be quite a lonely life for those early loggers of the 1870s and 1880s. They were a rugged, manly sort, not prone to needing many friends, but when it came to Christmas, they were looking for human interaction, fun and frivolity. In the British Columbia Lumberman it was said that “… the real, bottledin-bond, he-Christmas of the Logger is spent nowhere but in town.” A logger would scrimp and save for months before the Christmas season, knowing what December in the city would bring, and it was a time worth saving for. If they were in camp, they might limit their commissary purchases to the bare minimum. Days, sometimes even weeks before Christmas, loggers would begin to make their way from west coast camps to Vancouver by hitching a ride on a passing tug, or taking the Union Steamship. Their destination was usually Gastown or Skid Road. Those who were first to arrive would spend their time watching the waterfront for

the arrival of their chums and it became a fun little guessing game for the loggers already in town to see who would arrive next. When the boats came in bearing their friends, hearty welcomes, cheery calls and handshakes were passed all around. Upon making their way up the hotel, a drink was shared as a proper welcome to all. From there, another drink was had, in support of the first, of course. Then the third drink supported the second drink, and on it went. Camaraderie abounded as news from the camps was

exchanged and tales were told. Loggers made their way from hotel to hotel, from bar to bar; meeting new friends, partaking of liquor and finding the companionship of ladies. By Christmas Day, all of the Vancouver hotels were full and the men were ready to celebrate. Each of the hotels hosted a grand feast on December 25th, complete with delicacies such as bunch-grass beef, venison and suckling pig, turkeys, geese, chicken and duck, all roasted to perfection. This feast fit for a king was capped off with plum pudding set ablaze with brandy and mince pies. Of course, no feast was complete without kegs

of beer and ale and bottles of whiskey to go round. Depending on how much had been saved in the previous months, a logger might stay in town right through to New Year’s Day. They celebrated the end of the year much the same as they did Christmas; with food, friends, drinks and women. It must be remembered that not every man left camp to go to town for the holidays. Although at some camps, company owners were accused of not paying any attention to Christmas, there were many who offered their workers the mightiest of feasts. For the majority of the year, the men

lived without fresh produce, meat and eggs that weren’t possible to get in camp, but the Christmas Day feast saw only the best venison, suckling pigs, turkeys, ducks, geese and sirloin. Eggs, that cost a whopping $3.00 a dozen in 1877, were a necessity for the plum pudding and would be purchased for the festive season so that the men could enjoy that traditional Christmas sweet. In the end, whether they went to town or stayed in the bush these hard working fellows did their best to make the holiday season a memorable occasion, knowing it would be another twelve months before Christmas came again.

The School District (SD72) has responded to the concerns they were hearing from many on Quadra and the Discovery Islands about the possibility of imminent school closures within those communities. They are not considering closing rural schools. On Wednesday, the Mirror reported that Strathcona Regional Director Jim Abram had expressed his displeasure about the amount of time the community was being given to provide feedback on a report received by SD72 which recommends the closure of two elementary schools by next June. He was especially concerned for the future of Quadra Elementary and Surge Narrows Elementary on Read Island, both of which are very under-capacity. After Wednesday’s Mirror went to press, the School District responded to Abrams’ letter with a letter of their own, saying, in part, “It would seem that there is some misunderstanding and angst circulating amongst Area C residents with respect to the recommendations contained within the draft facility plan and community consultation, particularly the potential impact for Quadra Elementary and Surge Narrows School. This letter is to provide clarification and outline our next steps with the hope of alleviating some of this anxiety.” The letter, signed by board chair Susan Wilson, goes on to say that Area C schools are not ones being considered for closure. “The only possible school closures being considered at this point are of two elementary schools within the greater Campbell River area by the end of June 2016. The report does not contain a recommendation to close any of our Area C schools,” the letter reads. Wilson told the Mirror after the district’s letter addressing Abram’s and others’ concerns went out, that not

many people – besides those in Area C – have provided feedback on the proposed recommendations. “Other than the misunderstanding with the people who are concerned about Area C, we haven’t received a lot of feedback from people yet,” Wilson says, “but there is still time, and hopefully people will be in touch.” Wilson wants to make clear that this particular feedback period on the report from staff is by no means the extent of the consultation process that will be taking place should the board accept the recommendations contained in the report. “This is not the consultation process,” Wilson says. “We will be engaged in a comprehensive, in-depth consultation with the community throughout this process, and this is just the beginning of that.” She says that while it is true that the board intends to decide at the Dec. 8 public meeting whether to accept the recommendations, accept some and reject others, or reject it altogether, they will not be making any decisions about school closures at that time. She says both the board and senior staff at the district “are scrupulous about following due process,” adding, “we are partners in this with the community. We aren’t going to dictate to people what’s happening,” which echoes what she said in the letter to Abram. “It has never been the intention of the Board of Education that the request for email feedback on the draft facilities plan by November 30 would be the only opportunity for consultation,” Wilson wrote, “but rather an initial opportunity to hear questions and concerns from individual members of the public that would need to be addressed in future consultations.” The public still has until Monday (Nov. 30) to provide feedback on the staff report and recommendations contained therein at sd72.bc.ca under “District News.”

User fees for Robron field ‘too costly at this time’ KRISTEN DOUGLAS

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

City council has rejected fees suggested by city staff for the use of the new artificial turf field at Robron Park out of concern it may dissuade people from using it. At its Monday meeting, council voted to deny rental rates that the city’s Community Services, Recreation and Culture Commission – which includes members of the public – thought were unreasonable. “The commission believes that the user fees proposed are too costly at this time and may discourage use of the facility,” said Ross Milnthorp, the city’s general manager of parks, recreation and culture. Based on comparisons with

communities such as Saanich, Cowichan, Nanaimo, Kelowna, Surrey and a few others, city staff were recommending the following rates: $25 per hour during prime time and $12.50 per hour during non-prime time for youth; $36 hourly during prime time and $18 per hour during non-prime time for adult groups; $72 per hour for commercial groups, and a lighting fee of $25 per hour. Currently, it costs $10 for youth sporting groups to rent a city field for an entire season. Lynn Wark, the city’s recreation and culture manager, said the new fees would have been implemented on an interim basis, until such time that an ongoing review of city-wide recreation fees is complete. “In the interim the Robron Park synthetic turf field is being added

to the parks, recreation and culture division inventory with an anticipated completion date of late November/early December, weather-dependent,” Wark said. “In order to be ready to start booking out the facility by Jan. 1, 2016, staff is recommending that interim fees are established for the Robron facility and are based on comparisons with other communities.” But council chose to take the commission’s suggestion to instead have city staff consult with user groups to see if a consensus can be reached on appropriate user fees. Milnthorp said the commission thought it was the best course of action despite the possible consequences. “The commission understands that further user group consulta-

tion may delay the implementation of interim user fees which will result in a loss of revenue associated with use of the new artificial turf field,” he said. The city, however, is expected to still generate at least some revenue from the new field, as Milnthorp said the current fees will apply. He added that the review of the city’s recreational fees is expected to be complete in the next few months and staff are expecting to come back to council with a report at the end of March. That report was prompted by a resolution made by council during 2015 financial planning that directed staff to undertake a review of user fees, including recreation facility use and programs fees and to report back on recommended changes as a way to possibly increase revenue.

Synthetic field

The Robron synthetic turf field is expected to be ready for use in the new year. Construction began on the allweather field in August. The $2.27 million project includes not only the new turf, but also sports lighting and improvements to the pathway around Robron Park. Council approved the project following a parks survey done by the city that revealed upgrades to Robron Park were survey respondents’ number one priority. The project is funded by $750,000 from the city’s parks parcel tax fund, as well as Gas Tax funds transferred from senior government, to allow the city to avoid taking on any debt.

Tyees try to take a bite out of the Alberni Valley Bulldogs The Legion Ladies Auxiliary Peewee B Tyees made the trip to the second best salmon capital of the world last weekend to take on the Alberni Bulldogs. The crew had a shaky start and managed to escape the first 10 minutes still tied, despite the rink seemingly tilted in Alberni’s favour. The Tyees took off from there and built a 3-0 lead thanks to 2 goals from ‘Loopsie’ (Nathan Underhill, previously of Kamloops!). Both goals were ably supported by linemates Kobe Koi-

Carihi Junior Girls are on their way to Provincials this weekend. Carihi qualified for the Islands by placing first at the North Island championships held at Timberline Nov. 13-14, defeating the host TImberline Wolves. The Islands were held Nov 20-21 at Brentwood College in Mill Bay. Carihi completed the round robin undefeated on Friday. Then on Saturday the girls played Gulf Islands and won easily. The second game had Carihi vs Timberline yet again. The competition with these two teams never disappoints, as this game drew the largest crowd of the tournament and was no sleeper. Timberline won the first set quite handily, the second set was close going to 26-24 in Carihi’s favor and the third set was close but in the end won by Carihi. Carihi moved on to the finals and put on a good fight against a dominant team from Belmont in Victoria but came up short to place second in the tournament Campbell River was well represented by both Timberline and Carihi coming in placing in two of the top three spots of 50 schools on the Island This is one of the few times in Carihi’s 50 years that a Junior Volleyball team has earned a berth in Provincials. Both teams move on to Provincials which are being held in Delta this weekend.

zumi and Kiera Arsenault. Wyatt Murray made it 3-0 by finishing off a fine rush by d-man Tyler Jochimski with a ‘bar down’ goal. Port Alberni stormed back and tied it up 3-3 mid way through the third. The intrepid salmon were running out of steam however, and the final score was 5-3 for the Bulldogs. Austin Cameron continued her strong play along the wing and Ty McNeilly worked hard in his own end to defend our goal and move the puck out of harm’s way. ■ ■ ■ ■

Senior girls of to B.C.’s The Timberline Wolves senior girls volleyball team captured the bronze medal at the AAA Island Championships in Powell River this past weekend. The Wolves defeated the Ballenas Secondary Whalers in three straight sets 25-22, 25-10, 25-22 in the bronze medal match, and qualified for the AAA provincials in Vernon December 2-5. Also qualifying for Provincials were Brooks Secondary from Powell River (silver medalists) and Mark R. Isfeld Secondary (gold medalists). Mark R.

Riptide U14 Boys have the edge over Saanich The U14 Boys Marine Harvest Riptide earned 3 to 2 win over Saanich Fusion November 22nd on home turf. The Riptide boys were first to score in the 21st minute from Cameron Bells corner kick which Brayden Hues headed into the net. In the second half, Saanich Fusion came back attaining a goal from a free kick outside the 18 yard box. Riptide responded and wing midfielder Corban

Collett used his speed and determination to fight off multiple Fusion defenders and released an awkward lob shot from the sideline. The Saanich goal keeper was caught off guard and the ball drifted into the far corner of the Fusions net. Eight minutes later, Corban was fouled in the opponent’s 18 yard box and awarded a penalty kick. Cameron Bell took the penalty kick and rifled the ball into the

back of the net giving the Fusion goal keeper no chance. Fusion fought back and acquired 1 more goal in the last minute of the game. Goalkeeper Delton Kruell was tested a few times throughout the game and was key (with the assistance of defensive line) to the Riptide holding on to the win. Riptide Coach Stephen Hall commented after the game: “The lads played well and won the

Cermaq Wave taste defeat for first time Cermaq City Wave FC endured their first defeat of the season in the VISL Div 2 this past weekend. On a difficult surface it was the young Nanaimo side who adapted to the challenge the quickest of the two teams. The visitors made a strong start and were the better of the two teams in the opening 15 minutes. Cermaq regained their share of control and were looking to take the upper hand when Nanaimo took the lead on a penalty shot after 22 minutes. Cermaq received a

second blow when they had a player red carded two minutes later and were reduced ten men. The second half saw a spirited effort but the few half chances created were met in competent fashion by the Nanaimo keeper. A couple of excellent forays forward by Pete McWilliams saw him go close but each time the ball went agonisingly the wrong side of the post. Nanaimo scored two additional goals with excellent finishes from swift forward plays. The Campbell River

side still retain top spot in the VISL division as both second and third place teams also dropped points. These results show the battle for the top two places and a spot in the Premier Division is between as many as eight teams with any club capable of beating another on any given weekend. This Sunday the Cermaq boys travel to Castaways onSunday afternoon and return to Campbell River on Saturday Dec. 5 when they entertain Cowichan 2 p.m. at Willow Point Park.

mid field battles. This was a physical yet fair game with us outshooting the competition 16 to 8. We had some great penetrating runs which resulted in good scoring chances (we hit the woodwork three times).” The Marine Harvest U14 Boys Riptide lead the standings with 34 points (11 wins, 1 loss, and 1 tie). Next game for the U14 Riptide Boys is in Cowichan Sunday Nov. 29.

Tanner MacLeod

Tanner is a young man who likes physical activity. He identiﬁes hockey as his favorite sport. He likes playing defence so that he can stop the plays and prevent the other team from scoring. This is his fourth year playing the game, and he hopes to be playing a lot longer as his goal is to make it to the NHL. Tanner always comes to the rink with a positive attitude and a smile on his face. He is a great teammate, and never leaves the ice without thanking the coaches.

Fishing Corner

Don Daniels

In Campbell River many anglers have pulled their boats from the water but in Discovery Passage, area 13 is fishable and a good catch is anywhere from 12 to 14 pounds.

working at different times of the year and in December, weather permitting, I will experiment with various patterns and colours. I met with Bill Rankin who is off fishing in Mexico and I tied up a number of flies that imitated bait fish. A number of locals head south this time of year and will return to Campbell River after Christmas.

Those who target the winter springs have changed their fishing time and gear. A bonus to fishing in late fall or early winter is to have a propane heater on board but many will head out on the right tide and just fish for a shorter length of time. The large plugs that were used in the summer are downsized to about four-inch. Kelly Nielsen catch and release fly fishing the Campbell River

The November rains came and the run of chinook coho and chum salmon got into the river systems on time and the cycle continues with good fishing in the forecast in Area 13 and 14. In addition to winter fishing for salmon in the area, many will head out and set out crab and prawn traps.

count out needle fish. Many boats will be close to shore starting at Willow Point to Salmon Point and the area around Bates Beach will see better fishing in the new year. Beach fishing can be a challenge as the salmon run is over but there are areas that cutthroat trout can be caught.

The salmon being caught are found anywhere from 90 to 120 ft. of water and sometimes extra time is spent finding the right location as the bait will be scattered. Herring is the main bait for salmon but don’t

I enjoy fly fishing for trout in both fresh and saltwater and I am more interested in what fly patterns are

The Vancouver Island Trout Hatchery in Duncan has finished stocking the lakes on the Island and a total of 60,850 trout have new homes and are available for the public to get out and catch a trout. To the south, Shawnigan, Spectacle and Elk lakes were the last to be stocked with 219 gram sized trout. Locally, Echo lake has a water temperature less than 9 degrees C. Higher elevation lakes have snow and most lakes are fish able. The Salmon River is high and clear and has a longtime reputation as a premier river in the north. I had a chance to talk with long time resident Vern Skogan and will have the story next week here on the Fishing Corner.
