Survey paints portrait of city’s homeless Kristen Douglas Campbell RiveR miRRoR
A recent homeless count reveals there are at least 52 unsheltered homeless living on Campbell River streets. And of the 52 who were surveyed, 52 per cent are Aboriginal, which is up from 40 per cent in 2009 when the last homeless count was done. On average, a homeless person in Campbell River is male, 45-yearsold, Aboriginal, and is afflicted with an addiction, mental health issue or physical disability. A total of 40 per cent of survey respondents reported having a mental illness while 63.5 per cent said they have an addiction or engage in substance abuse. A further 44 per cent reported having a physical disability and 60 per cent said they have a medical condition. Those statistics were developed over a 51-hour period between Sept. 12 to 14 by Patricia Orr and Raymond Allan, hired by the city to conduct the homeless count through interviews and a paper survey. The two-page survey contained 17 questions and was broken down into two sections – one pertaining to

New Horizons and union disagree about impact of scheduling change MiKe Davies Campbell RiveR miRRoR
AlistAir tAylor/CAmpbell river mirror
Some staff of New Horizons Care Home, their union and family members of those living in the facility are crying foul again after what they say is a proposal by the facility’s operator to cut staff hours beginning in the new year. This week they took to the streets, town hall forums and city council chambers to express their displeasure. Meanwhile, New Horizons management says the allegations being put forth by the union are inaccurate. An informal gathering of concerned parties gathered along 16th Avenue beside the facility on Wednesday to discuss the matter. Two days before, Lois Jarvis, representing Campbell River Citizens for Quality Health Care – a group devoted to ensuring adequate healthcare facilities in the region – and Barb Biley, regional vice-president of the Hospital Employees’ Union (HEU) for Vancouver Island North, who represent the employees of New Horizons, presented their views on the topic at the last meeting of the calendar year of Campbell

Councillor: Renos a ‘waste of time’
City council will spend $75,000 to rehabilitate a piece of the city’s history – a project one councillor said is a ‘total waste of time.’ Council, during budget planning last week, chose to allocate money towards improvements on the Walter Morgan Studio – a large shed built behind the Sybil Andrews Cottage by Andrews’ husband, Walter Morgan. The studio is on the city’s heritage registry, along with the Sybil Andrews Cottage, and Mayor Andy Adams said while a temporary fix to the bracings and supports on the porch took place last year, the studio still needs some “substantial work.” But Coun. Ron Kerr said the money isn’t worth it.
“To me it’s got a very limited use,” Kerr said. “If you’re going to spend a dollar on it, I would knock it down and put that dollar toward building a facility that can actually be good year round for artists and wood workers. To continue to pour money into what was basically a shack on the beach there, I think is a total waste of time.” Coun. Larry Samson disagreed. “If you look at the Sybil Andrews Cottage, people come from all over the world to that location. She was an artist recognized internationally,” Samson said. “It’s part of our heritage, part of the Willow Point Heritage down there. I think to simply tear down all our history I think is a mistake.” The rest of council agreed and voted to undertake the improvements in 2016.
Homeless: City ordered a count stayed at a friend’s place. Those surveyed involved the homeless who frequent such places as the Myrt Thompson Trail, Nunn’s Creek Park, beach areas from central downtown to Willow Point, ERT trail and forested areas within central downtown Campbell River. The homeless count was ordered by city council in July as a way to determine how best to help the city’s most vulnerable. The initiative was brought forward by Coun. Ron Kerr who said that knowing just how far the city’s homeless problem really extends is the only way to secure funding from senior levels of government to try and alleviate the problem. “It really does give the community something we can use in making decisions and in discus-

Of the 33 sur vey respondents who are currently sheltered, 45 per cent said they stay at the Salvation Army Evergreen Shelter while 30 per cent reported staying at the Second Chance Recovery House. A total of 55 per cent (18 people) of those who identify as ‘sheltered’ said they had not stayed outside in the last 12 months while 45 per cent (15 people) said they had slept on the streets at one point in the past year. Among the unsheltered respondents, all 52 said they had stayed outside in the last year. Eighty-five per cent (44 people) said they spent the previous night outside or in a vehicle while just 15 per cent said they

sions with the ministry, BC Housing and Island Health,” Kerr said in July. “It gives the real, hard facts…it will definitely give everyone a true indication of what’s happening on the streets.” At last week’s Monday council meeting, council voted to include $2,000 in its 2017 budget planning deliberations in order to continue on with the homeless count. “Municipalities that conduct homeless counts recognize the value of conducting them every two years,” said Kerr, adding that the results “will provide a baseline information that can be used to assess needs, identify service delivery improvements and support funding requests.” Unsheltered survey results n 63 per cent are male; 37 per cent female.

Horizons: ‘No layoffs’
www.CampbellRiverMirror.com www.CampbellRiverMirror.com
Horizons and their families, signed by Sandra Murphy, director of care at the facility, seems to disagree. “There are no layoffs or reduction in direct care hours at New Horizons Care Home as claimed by the HEU,” reads the letter. In the letter, Murphy outlines the upcoming changes in scheduling, saying they actually improve the work environment for staff, improve care for residents, “and also meet the health authority’s care model for increased hours by registered nurses.” Murphy’s letter admits that under the new schedule there are fewer hours available for resident care aids (RCAs), but insists that it is offset by the increased hours being assigned to Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs), “with the same budget being spent on providing an excellent standard of professional care to all New Horizons residents.” Laurel Albina, marketing representative with HEU, said at Wednesday’s meeting that they can’t speak to the hours of LPNs and registered nurses, but the cuts to RCAs are “significant.” HEU claims that in the two years since Care Corp has taken over operations at New Horizons, there has been a 63 per cent staff turnover rate, which is indicative of the conditions of

River city council. Jarvis and Biley were asking council to write a letter to Dr. Brian Carr, president and CEO of Island Health and Health Minister Terry Lake to request a review and investigation into the alleged cuts, “and the negative impacts they will have on our vulnerable seniors.” “The profit model that is being used in seniors’ care facilities is proving to be a total failure,” Jarvis told council. “Individuals should not be profiting from residential care. We object to our tax dollars being used to provide inadequate care for our seniors and a lower standard of employment for their caregivers.” While some people see it simply as a dispute present in many businesses – employees arguing with management over staffing levels – and not something worthy of public or political discussion, Jarvis feels differently. “This is not just a union/management issue,” she told council. “It is about care being provided to our seniors in their final years,” which she sees as a social responsibility. And that care is threatened with the upcoming cuts to hours at the facility, according to the HEU. A letter recently sent out to residents of New
people about what is happening,” Blaney said. “It sounds like there are some concerns here, and I’m open to hearing more about those concerns.” Those concerns were possibly expressed most explicitly by Ken Palmblad, whose mother lives at the New Horizons facility. He and his wife come over from Quadra frequently to visit his mother, and says he has seen first hand the deterioration of services over the years. “I’d rather be dead than be in there,” he said at the information meeting on the side of 16th Avenue on Wednesday. “I’m serious. From what I’ve seen, the people that are working there, that are on the floors, they’re getting their butts run off, and they’re great, but there’s just not enough people.” HEU, more than anything else at this point, thinks there needs to be better communication around the subject of staffing requirements and expenditures. “We had a meeting set up (with management) that was cancelled, and our follow up calls wouldn’t be committed to,” Albina said. “I think that some transparency and open communication is exactly what’s needed from Care Corp and Park Place at this point, so people know what they’re dealing with going forward.”

their employment. Staff turnover also negatively impacts residents’ quality of life, as they are unable to form bonds with their care workers when they lack continuity, Biley says. Jarvis agrees. “There’s a relationship that develops – a loving relationship between the caregivers and the people they’re caring for – and that’s continually being broken with the turnover. It’s not healthy for the residents.” Murphy’s letter, however, claims that continuity will actually increase under the new scheduling, as the schedules are designed to have staff cover the same shift every day. “Our caregivers welcome this change,” the letter reads, “since they can better schedule their lives around a standard shift. “Our residents enjoy the consistency of seeing the same caregivers at the same time each day.” Rachel Blaney, MP for North Island–Powell River, also stopped by the meeting on Wednesday at New Horizons. She’s in town while the House of Commons is on break over the holidays, and said that although healthcare is a provincial responsibility, it’s her responsibility as the area’s federal representative to keep abreast of the concerns of her constituents. “I just wanted to come down and hear from

Do your part for a safe holiday Don’t drink and drive. Sad that it must be said every year. Even more disheartening that the message just doesn’t get through. Every year, in nearly every community, police, victims, families and others plead with the public not to drive while impaired. And every year, in nearly every community, at least one incident will be reported of a motor vehicle collision that could have been avoided had alcohol not been involved. Far too often, that incident will have tragic results. Families will be destroyed. All for the sake of saving $20. “I just live around the corner.” “I don’t want to leave my car at the bar.” “I need We say: Impaired my vehicle in the morning.” “I don’t have money driving still the for a cab.” leading cause of All excuses police have heard before. None of car crashes them legitimate. Police across the province are into their Christmas season crackdown, promising to be ever-vigilant in catching impaired drivers. It’s sad to think that people will consider getting behind the wheel after a night of consuming liquor or drugs, despite constant reports of deaths caused from such acts. ICBC notes that impaired driving is still the leading cause of car crashes in B.C. and 27 per cent of vehicle crash fatalities are related to impaired driving. According to Statistics Canada, impaired driving is the leading cause of criminal death in the country. Let that sink in for a minute. The leading cause of criminal death in Canada is also so easily preventable. So, before picking up those keys at the end of the staff holiday party, or a night out with friends, keep this in mind: Someone’s family will be destroyed by an impaired driver this Christmas season. Don’t let one stupid decision make you the cause. – Black Press
Surprise! Council doing a good job
Being a small business person and operating in Campbell River for over thirty years, I was shocked when I received B.C. Municipal Spending Watch from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business. I was shocked, in a real nice way, because I surely didn’t expect that our city was doing the very best in controlling expenses in all cities in British Columbia, with a population of over twenty five thousand. Campbell River was ninth overall. ( that being all towns in B.C. regardless of size). This favorable report does not let our elected officials and bureaucrats totally off the hook , as our operating spending is still not in line with inflation and population growth. It is however close and to my surprise; they have done a great job for us over the last few years. We thank our Mayor and council, keep control of those expenses. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Keep up the good work. Dan Borton Campbell River

With winter well and truly here (it’s actually snowing while I’m writing this), the Ministry of Health is encouraging people to stay active through a time of the year that many find hard to get motivated to exercise, and has issued a list of tips to help. “By doing just over 20 minutes of activity per day you can help reduce the risk of premature death, heart disease and stroke, among many other health benefits,” the government release states, including keeping off those unwanted extra pounds that seem to sneak onto our bodies over the holidays. Now, I’m not one to preach healthy living to people. My physique should tell you I’m not going to become a personal trainer anytime soon (I’ve hear it said that I’m clearly in shape, since “round” is a shape). But even I find, as I’m sure many do, that a little goes a long way when it comes to exercise, especially in terms of emotional benefits. I know

remember all that housework counts towards your recommended physical activity,” reads the ministry’s fourth tip. “Cleaning isn’t so bad when you think about it that way, is it?” Okay, settle down, Ministry of Health! I’m already chucking a medicine ball around during the football game and taking the stairs at the commercials so I can cook dinner! Get off my back! “Create an activity calendar for a month, with daily challenges for staying active,” is the top tip on the ministry’s list. The most important part of this tip, for me, is to make those goals reasonable. We all know I’m not going to do 100 burpees on Jan. 2. And it’s way easier to give up when you’re being unsuccessful. The moral of the story: For some of us, at least, any physical activity is better than none. I’m going to keep working on “some” and see where it goes from there.

One of the recommendations in the School District 72 (SD72) 10-year Facility Plan is to do something about the situation at Cedar Elementary. Cedar is the only facility in the district sitting less than 10 per cent empty, and is one of the few schools in the district projected to actually increase in enrolment over the next decade. It’s also in the bottom tier of district facilities in terms of it’s physical condition. Cedar and the Cedar Annex – currently leased to and is occupied by the Laichwiltach Family Life Society – both rank in the bottom seven in the district’s Facilities Condition Index. Cedar

While the biggest news for most coming out of School District 72 (SD72) these days is about the upcoming elementary school closures within the greater Campbell River area, there were many other decisions made as part of the 10-year Facility Plan adopted at the last public meeting of the Board of Education, as well. For example, it was decided that during Phase Two of the plan, there would be a review of the use of the rural schools in the district, as well. “The Board of Education and senior management understands the importance of rural schools to the communities they serve, and we’d like to look for ways to continue to support those communities with the aim of providing the best possible learning environments,” Superintendent Tom Longridge told the board during the reading of the recommendation contained in the plan. Currently, however, the district has a surplus of 21 classrooms in the district’s four rural schools, Longridge told the board, which needs to be addressed. The four rural schools are Sayward, Quadra Island, Cortes Island and Surge Narrows. That doesn’t necessarily mean closures of those facilities. It does, however, mean that SD72 needs to begin having, “a deep and meaningful consultation with community stakeholders (and) the true cost of operating, maintaining, repairing and updating these facilities needs to be examined, because

unused space increases a building’s operating costs,” Longridge said. Basically, it’s a problem that anywhere from 40 to 86 per cent of classrooms in rural schools are sitting empty. And it’s a problem that needs to be fixed for those schools to be able to continue operating. That could mean “right-sizing” buildings so they fit the number of students making use of them, or it could mean looking for ways to share the cost of the facilities with other programs or organizations that could also be making use of them. Trustee John Kerr served as vice principal of two of the district’s rural schools, and principal of a third, and said the district really does need to look at how these facilities are being used. “This makes sense to my head, but to my heart it’s a difficult one,” he said. “I really don’t know what the answer is going to be on this, but I do believe we need to look at these facilities and how they are being utilized, and if there are changes that need to be made, we need to look into possibilities in consultation with the communities in which they are situated.” Trustee Daryl Hagen said he likes the direction of the discussion. “Over the years, we’ve fought tooth and nail to maintain our outlying areas, because they are the heart and soul of some of these communities. I’m glad that we’re not talking about closure, but we’re talking about ‘how can we change things in these schools so that they work for us and work for the communities they’re in?’” Phase two of the plan begins next September and runs through 2019.

and the education is occurring in some of the worst conditions,” added Trustee Daryl Hagen, saying he is extremely enthusiastic about the possibility of a new facility there. Trustee Joyce McMann shared Hagen’s enthusiasm. “Cedar is very distinct in terms of the neighbourhood that it currently serves, the resources that are situated close to the school … and I think it’s an opportunity for us to create a unique and ingenious response to the whole idea of the new curriculum and the new way of thinking about education,” she said. “We’ve been stuck, in terms of our facilities and how we can best use them to provide education,” she continued. “I would love to see us put our minds to work to create something unique here.” The work on the proposal to the Ministry for a new Cedar School facility will begin during Phase Two of the district’s recently-approved 10-year Facility Plan, which begins in September 2016.

Bantam A Tyees go undefeated
Though not a perfect weekend for the KLP Construction Bantam A Tyees, they came close by going undefeated in a pair of league games this
past weekend. Their first game, which took place on Saturday, was a well-deserved road victory over the Saanich Braves.
Logan Chapdelaine opened the scoring just minutes into the game, and River Fahey added another tally before the end of the first. Saanich
scored their first goal on goaltender Antoine Minfray during the first minute of the second period and the Tyees held their slimmest of leads until

NWSk Karate shining bright at recent competitions
F
ive select members of the Northwest ShitoKai Karate’s competition team have represented Campbell River proudly over the last few weeks with some benchmark and personal best performances. Three young men aged 12 were in Burnaby last weekend for the final selection event of the Karate BC team. Alexander Movold, Kyle Barnes and Daniel Wood have all spent the last five months training hard in hopes of being selected for the national championships, January 2016.
After their final training session with world champion, Luis Plumacher of Venezuela the team BC coaching staff selected both Barnes and Movold to compete in the boys 12/13 Kata (Forms) and Kumite (combat) events. Daniel impressed the coaches with this athleticism and work ethic but was not a part of the final selection. Daniel and the club are patiently waiting to hear if he will be chosen for the team’s final wild card slot. The trio was also in attendance recently for the 2016 BC winter games qualifier where Barnes
and Movold finished first and second overall and secured spots on the Vancouver Island team. Wood, despite a stellar performance did not acquire enough points to win a spot on the team. Daniel is a hopeful for another wildcard for the 2016 BC Winter Games in Penticton. The team also recently had a chance to represent Campbell River and Canada at the 2015 Shito-Ryu Pan-American Championships in Miami, Florida. This event drew 700+ competitors from 17 countries and was NWSk’s

third time attending this event. The team of four had a fantastic showing. Keeli Stewart, 8, Jenna Scott, 11 along with Kyle Barnes and Alex Movold
were all in attendance for the international competition. Stewart was the first to compete that morning. She faced tough competition from Venezuela, Mexico and USA. After some tough rounds Keeli placed second in Kata and third in Kumite, which seemed to set the pace for the day. Jenna Scott gave her best performance to date in the girls 11/12 advanced divisions with a decisive win over Mexico in kata finals. This was Scott’s third Pan American Kata title. She also won a silver medal in her kumite division immediately

period by Jory Swanson, Noah Fladager, Ethan Mainprize, and Fahey to blow the game wide open and give the Tyees a 6 – 1 lead after two. A hat-trick goal by Fahey and a second by Swanson in the third capped what would be six unanswered goals by the Tyees en route to a convincing 8 – 1 win. The following day the Tyees played a highly anticipated game versus a talented Juan de Fuca Grizzlies squad at Rod Brind’Amour Arena. As projected by many, the game was a close seesaw battle with both teams trading blows from the opening face off. Juan de Fuca scored their opening goal on goaltender Jayce Hudak six minutes into the game and was able to maintain their slim lead until Davis Frank tied the game
two minutes in to period two. The Grizzlies took a 2–1 lead in period two, and carried that lead into the third period until defenseman Luka Kellerhals received the puck at the top of the right circle and snapped a wicked snap shot high and past the goaltender’s glove to knot the game at two. Though the Grizzlies regained the lead just a couple minutes later, another defenseman, Matthew Ubriaco let go a wrist shot from left circle that made it’s way to the back of the net through a maze of players to bring the game back to even half way through the, final frame. With just over five minutes remaining in the game, Tyee forward Fladager scored two goals in less than a minute span to give Campbell River what appeared to be a comfortable two goal lead.

However, just before JDF pulled their goaltender for an extra attacker, they struck quickly with two goals in under forty seconds to tie the game for good at 5 – 5. It was a hard fought tie that felt bitter sweet after giving up a twogoal lead late in the game. “Our guys battled hard and deserved that win,” said forward Davis Frank. “In what was one of our biggest games of the season thus far, we were pleased with how we played, but we still would have liked the win.” The Tyees play one more league game prior to Christmas versus Powell River this Saturday at Rod Brind’Amour Arena. After the holiday the Tyees will travel to the Okanagan to participate in the highly acclaimed Kamloops International Bantam Ice Hockey Tournament (KIBIHT) beginning on Dec. 29.

Kyle Barnes and Alex Movold were the last to compete. Their event had 30 other athletes in two separate pools. Barnes was able to finish 3rd in his Kata event winning his final match against an athlete from USA. Despite a valiant effort Movold was unable to secure a podium spot in his individual events.

‘I thought I had the skills I needed’
Nick Perry tells Carihi students about workplace safety, their rights … and his paralysis MIKE DAVIES CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
N
ick Perry grew up wanting to teach karate. He’d studied it for 15 years and was just about to test for his black belt when the accident happened. Now, instead of teaching karate, he teaches high school kids about workplace safety as part of the WorkSafeBC Young Workers Speakers Network. Who better to get that message across to kids about to enter the workforce than someone who became paralyzed when he was barely out of high school, working in a lumberyard? Perry sat down with Dana Dunsmore’s Planning 10 class at Carihi last week to tell his story. ‘His second job after his work experience term at Subway was at a plywood store in Victoria, he told the class. His story was one of four that were made into a video by WorkSafe BC called, “Lost Youth.” It’s a graphic retelling and re-enactment of four young people who went off to work one day, just like any other day, and had their lives changed forever. He started the film. The students in Dun-
smore’s class visibly squirmed in their seats as the young girl loses three fingers in a pizza dough machine. There were audible intakes of breath when the actor re-enacting Perry’s accident takes the stack of wood in the back as it falls off the forks of a forklift. Faces turned away when a young man is sucked into a machine he is repairing, severing his leg. “It’s not supposed to make you feel comfortable,” he tells them after the movie. “When I watch those accidents happen (in the film) I think of what life must me like for those people,” he says, because he knows how it is for him. And he thinks about how he doesn’t want it to be for the kids in those desks. “It’s about doing what I can to make sure the next generation of worker is better prepared,” he said. “It’s trying to change society’s views and make people more proactive about safety. “That will be better for all of us.” He wishes someone like him – someone who had a real story to share about workplace safety – would have gone to his high school when he was a student, so he might have thought
more carefully about what he was doing that day. Maybe he would have walked away after recognizing it wasn’t a safe situation. At least he would have known he was allowed to do that. He would have also known he was entitled to proper training on the equipment he’d be operating. “I took shop in high school, so I thought I had the skills I needed,” Perry says, and his employer gave him a mere half-hour of additional training when he showed up the first day before sending him out into the yard to work. “I didn’t ask any questions, because I didn’t want to ruffle any feathers,” he continues. “I just kept my mouth shut and did whatever I was told.” Four months into the job, he was working between 50 and 60 hours a week, he says, and was making decent money. Everything was great. One Saturday, however, he was fighting with a load of wood that had been unbundled for some reason. “It had happened a million times before in the four months I’d been there,” he says, so he didn’t think anything of it happening again. Once he got the wood loaded up on his forklift and got it into the

was hired even more recently than he was. Long story short: Perry was paralyzed when the tenth sheet of
wood that hit him in the back severed his spine. He’s not sharing his story to scare people. It’s not like he wants people to not work in lumberyards or on job sites that hold inherent dangers. “A lot of young workers go out to their first couple of jobs, get paid minimum wage, get worked really hard and then go off to more labour intensive work for more money. “We just want to make sure you have the skills to be able to do that safely so you can come home in one piece every day.” Perry rehabilitated, miraculously, and can now walk again with the help of a brace that shores up the muscle in his leg that he lost permanently, but he’ll never do a lot of things he loves. That’s luckier than a lot of folks injured in workplace accidents. “What if I was just a memory?” he asks. He wasn’t expecting an answer. Which is good, because he didn’t get one from the quiet classroom.

The addition of Colombard to the California-grown Pinot Grigio adds distinctly ‘zingy’ acidity to that first sip. Just as modestly Californian Vista Point Cabernet Sauvignon (328989) $8 pleases profusely without overwhelming that festive ham or turkey or Uncle Bud’s beer palate. There’s a surge of sweet cherry and berry flavors on that first sip, enhanced with a spritz of oaky vanilla on the finish.

Elsewhere in the wide world of wine, almost equally affordable imported wines seem to be appearing. Like most ‘Old World’ – European – wines, traditional Spanish wines have evolved to pair well with food. Both whites and reds have a backbone of refreshing natural acidity and the reds are seldom short of tannin – that peppery ‘grip’ that gets the inside of your cheeks sticking to your teeth.

Santa will doubtless be dashing about delivering dash cams by the dozen, as they are top of many gift wish lists this year. Most people see the onboard cameras, which continuously record the driver’s view of the road through the windshield, as a great way of gathering video evidence in the event of a collision. Internet websites featuring often hair-raising video of dramatic crashes are drawing viewers in their millions. Thousands of eyewitness videos featuring car crashes, narrow escapes, and even staged crashes designed to commit insurance fraud have been uploaded to YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and dash cam dedicated websites. The cheapest units start from as little as $30 but as is always the case with technology, you only get what you pay for. Testing by the Driveway team shows that for less than $100, you can get a serviceable camera for your car. However, if you want to install a more sophisticated version that records such information as date/time, speed, G-forces and location then get ready to spend more than $200. Yours truly bought a BlackVue DR3500-Full HD system, which retails for more than $400. I would recommend it for commercial fleets and people like me who want to record trips for

Paws & Claws For people who
their pets.
Have a safe, healthy holiday season with your furry family members. At this time of year, there are plenty of festive decorations and seasonal treats in thousands of B.C. homes. Yet the holidays can be hazardous for your pets. “We want all family members, two-legged and four-legged, to enjoy a safe, happy and healthy holiday season,” says BC SPCA general manager of community relations Lorie Chortyk. Some tips to help pet guardians ensure their furry companions’ continued health and wellbeing include: • Bones are Bad: Avoid giving bones to your dogs or cats, particularly turkey bones. Poultry bones eas-
ily splinter and can cause serious injury, while bone fragments can cause intestinal blockages or lacerations. • Thoughtful Treats: Chocolate and other sweets should not be given to animals. Chocolate contains theobromine, a chemical that can be deadly to cats and dogs, though not harmful to humans. The best thing you can do for your pet over the holidays is to keep them on their regular diet. Look for healthy animal treats instead of giving your animal companions cookies, rich snacks or sweets meant for people. • Poisonous
Plants:
Many popular holiday plants are poisonous to animals including mistletoe, holly, ornamental pepper and Christmas rose. Remember to keep these plants out of reach of pets – especially birds. Poinsettias are not poisonous to pets or people. This has been a longstanding rumour perpetuated for decades. Some pets may have a sensitivity to the latex contained in the plant and may get diarrhea or vomit. • Tinsel is Trouble: Having a Christmas tree and pets can be troublesome. Ensure the tree is well-secured and try to place the decorations above paw height. Using string to
hang decorations instead of hooks helps, as hooks can be easily dislodged. If possible, use non-breakable ornaments. Avoid using tinsel or angel hair – cats and dogs will ingest both, which can cause intestinal problems. Cords for lights should be made inaccessible to pets, es-
pecially chewing puppies and exploring kittens. If you add chemicals to the water reservoir of your Christmas tree to help it last longer, keep in mind those chemicals are toxic to animals and keep the reservoir covered.
chasing pet toys with small or soft pieces that can be chewed and swallowed. Nylon bones tend to splinter less than plastic ones. Be sure to inspect pet toys regularly and discard deteriorating ones.

Think and thump: Help keep B.C. animals safe this winter season One simple act on cold, B.C. winter mornings can help save animals from injury or worse: Think and thump. Often, cats and wildlife will gravitate to warm engines during cold weather, and by banging the hood to alert them, B.C. drivers can help avoid a tragic ending for an animal seeking refuge from the cold. “It just takes two seconds – as the weather gets colder, animals look for
warmth wherever they can find it,” says BC SPCA manager of animal welfare Kim Monteith. “It’s a great idea to make ‘think and thump’ a habit every morning when it’s cold outside.” Even though companion animals might come with their own fur coats, cold weather conditions can pose a serious risk to pets, Monteith notes. “Extra caution should be
taken to ensure that your pets stay warm, safe and healthy this winter.”
The BC SPCA is vehemently opposed to keeping dogs permanently
outdoors, but it acknowledges that some pet guardians still house their dogs in this manner. In these cases, the dog must have shelter that protects him from cold, wind and dampness that is appropriate to his weight and coat. To accomplish this, the shelter should be elevated, insulated, ventilated and regularly cleaned. Cold weather safety tips: • Make sure you thor-

when being expanded or dismantled; • Use pet-safe propylene-based antifreeze instead of ethylene glycol antifreeze, which is toxic to pets and wildlife. A mere tablespoon of ethylene glycol antifreeze can kill a cat or small dog; • The SPCA strongly urges pet guardians to keep all animals indoors during cold weather, but if you must keep domestic or farm animals outside, ensure they have access to shelter that is off the ground, provides protection from wind, cold and dampness and is properly insulated. Regular checks to ensure drinking water has not frozen over are also a must. Companion pets are not the only animals at risk in cold weather. People with farm animals must also make sure these animals have adequate cover from the elements and that all water containers are kept ice-free. “When the temperature drops outside, we need to take extra care with our pets,” says BC SPCA general manager of community relations Lorie Chortyk. “Ideally, we should keep our pets indoors with us where they are warm and safe and where we can enjoy their companionship throughout the winter.” Source: www.spca.bc.ca
their pets.
New Year’s resolutions made? If not, here’s some ideas for animal lovers 6. Make the Switch. Switch the toxic ethylene glycol antifreeze in your vehicle to pet-friendly, propylene-based antifreeze.
The start of a new year often inspires people to make resolutions to be a better person in the next 12 months, whether that means eating a healthier diet, starting or improving a fitness regimen, setting work-related goals or being more environmentally friendly.
7. Donate your time or money. Help a homeless or wild animal get the care they need. The BC SPCA’s priority funds let you choose which program or service to support, including cruelty investigations, sheltering, wildlife rehabilitation, education and advocacy. Or give of yourself – the BC SPCA simply could not function with-
The BC SPCA has a few suggestions for B.C.’s animal lovers for 2015: 1. Get moving! Get yourself and your dog(s) off the couch and into the outdoors. Most dogs need walking at least twice daily to stay healthy and you will benefit too. If you don't have a dog, why not volunteer to walk dogs at your local shelter? 2. ID your pet. The SPCA reunites thousands of lost animals with their families every year. Many animals are never claimed, however, and must be adopted into new homes because they have no ID. Ensure your pets have identification tags on their collar and a microchip or ear tattoo, and keep the information updated. 3. The fix is in. Help spread the word about the crucial importance of spaying or neutering pets – or make a donation to your local shelter to help with spay/neuter pro-
grams. Thousands of unwanted animals are born in B.C. each year – often with tragic consequences. 4. Adopt, don’t shop. If you are considering getting a new pet make the SPCA or another animal shelter your first adoption option. Avoid buying pets from online sites — you may be supporting puppy mills by buying this way. 5. Make humane food choices. Commit to purchasing foods raised according to high standards of animal welfare. Look for SPCA Certified products in the meat and dairy sections of your grocery store. You can find out where to buy SPCA Certified products at spcacertified.ca.

quota; you may have some sleep deprivation over the holidays but making it up in naps or longer nights sleep is very healthful. Take advantage of your time off to rest and catch up. There is nothing quite as delicious as having a nap while reading a fun novel on a Wednesday afternoon! 7. Opt for Face to Face and not Facebook! Make 2016 your year to control your social media addiction. Find ways to interact with your friends face to face and have play dates! Remember those? Take up coloring or make weekly walking or gym dates. Have a planning session with your friend or spouse where you share your goals for the coming year in all aspects of your life: work, home, spouse, travel, financial, friends, family, physical, emotional and spiritual well being. Create a “vision board” together. Vow to live your life with intention and not at the beck and call of everyone around you. 8. Be ready. For those unhealthy episodes of your holiday have your first aid kit well stocked. Glyconda or digestive enzymes for those episodes of heartburn. Fresh ginger to make up a ginger drink for nausea, digestive upsets and chest infections. Boil 2 cups in one gallon of water for one hour. Stores in the fridge for one week. Serve with stevia, lemon or lime hot or cold. Taking probiotics regularly will also help. Have optibiostim or other Echinacea remedies at hand to treat those sore throats and colds immediately. HTSF is our flu remedy of choice and will get you out of trouble in 24 hours. Dr. Ingrid Pincott, Naturopathic physician: www.DrPincott.com

Shoebox project a success Through the generosity of the people of Campbell River and area, over 240 women in the community who are homeless or at risk of homelessness will enjoy gifts of little luxuries this holiday season. The Shoebox Project for Shelters, supported by Dream, is a charitable initiative that seeks to brighten the day of women in need in our community and to provide an easy way to give back and make a difference. Lovely decorated shoeboxes filled with personal items and little luxuries were recently distributed to Campbell River and North Island Transition Society, Downtown winter weather shelter, Radiant Life Church, Salvation Army Evergreen House, Campbell River Women’s Centre, AIDS Vancouver Island, Salvation Army Lighthouse Family Services, Homeless Outreach Program, Advocacy Services Centre, as well as Laichwiltach Family Life Society, Campbell River Public Health Unit and Campbell River Family Services. The women receiving the shoebox gifts appreciate the thought and care that goes into creating them. A gift from The Shoebox Project helps to boost self-confidence and reduce isolation, and is an important reminder for a woman living in poverty that despite her circumstances, she remains a valued and

Carihi Robotics is getting competitive NIGEL NEUFELD CARIHI MIRROR
On Nov. 20 and 22 some students from Carihi’s Robotics Class went to Shawnigan Lake School to partake in a VEX Robotics Competition. They participated in the “Nothing But Net” game where teams consisting of three robots faced off attempting to launch, push or grab balls and get them into nets in order to score points. Carihi sent down two robots. The first robotic team
consisted of Bailey, Harley and Nathan. They had ran into issues getting their robot finished in time for the competition and ultimately had to borrow another team’s robot (Which was built by Linus and Nigel). There were problems with the programming for the robot but they were unable to fix them due to the laptop not functioning properly. Another issue was that the robot they were using launched the balls at such a rapid speed that it almost always
overshot, they were able to shoot the balls all the way across the gym! Despite these challenges they were able to make it through the qualifiers (six games with random teams) and into the quarter finals. Their first match was against the second team going into quarter finals, while they were the seventh team going in. During their final match they were able to score two high points which required extreme precision due to there not being a back wall.
Ultimately, their team didn’t make it past the quarter finals but they still finished in an impressive eleventh place overall. The other robotics team was Quinn and Jeremy. Despite best intentions, they had misread a few rules and their robot was illegal. While they attempted to quickly rebuild the robot, they didn’t meet much success since it’s incredibly difficult to do something that usually takes weeks in a matter of hours. They had to settle for

important purpose. “[It] likes to focus on 21st century learning and the fact that these students, the jobs they’ll be going into aren’t necessarily developed yet,” said Brittany Renooy, one of Carihi’s DI teacher-coordinators. “They don’t know what they’re going to do and what technology they’re
going to have in the future. “So, what they’re trying to do is develop students that can think critically and come up with solutions to these problems when they don’t know what they are and be creative about it and come up with amazing results for the things that they’re doing.”
Pushing the limits of the student imagination JASMINE MACGREGOR CARIHI MIRROR
“C o m m u n i c a t i o n , creativity, and innovation” are what Destination Imagination (DI) is all about, according to grade 11 student Austin Chiasson. He’s been involved with Carihi’s teams for nearly two years now. Destination Imagination allows students to complete challenges that encourage them to push the limits of their imagination while working cooperatively and creatively with their teammates. It was an idea that started in the United States and has expanded across the globe. The school has two teams: one that focuses on technical challenges and the other on fine arts. The teams meet several times a week to work on their main challenge for upcoming competitions. Main challenges
Carihi students participated in Destination Imagination.
are often a question they have to answer or an objective they have to reach, always with a specific theme. DI members all over the world are working on these same challenges. “Right now, [the technical team] is working on building a vehicle that can transport a team member back and forth across a stage 100 times. It has to involve
several different propulsion systems and movement methods. This type of challenge will involve engineering skills and oftentimes robotics will be used,” Chiasson said. In addition to preparing for their main challenges, the teams perform “instant challenges” as well, where they are given a set of materials and a limited time period to complete
the task or performance. Instant challenges are a great way for the two teams to compete against each other and to practice quick thinking. Last May, three of Carihi’s DI members attended the Global Finals in Knoxville, Tennessee at the University of Tennessee campus. They spent three days with over 16,000 people from all over the world.
Along with the competitions, the participants were able to attend workshops and speeches presented by famous personalities such as, singer Paula Abdul and astronaut Buzz Aldrin. The teams have no big trips planned for 2016, so far, but will compete at the North Island Regionals in March. Destination Imagination is not only fun, but also has an

he 12th anniversary of the Canadian Country Christmas tour comes to Campbell River this Saturday at the Willow Point Hall on the Island Highway. This show is in full support of the Tara School of Irish Dance, and is in partnership with the Campbell River Mirror and features an award winning line-up of singer/songwriters, and the Tara School of Irish Dance itself. In 2013 the show came through town and performed raising funds for the Campbell River Hospice Society and raised several hundred dollars at the time. As founder Sean Hogan recalls, it was the first time the Tara School of Irish Dance was featured. City resident and an award winning national recording artist, Hogan started the tour in 2004, and this year alone the show has raised food bank donations, helped a Leukemia patient, and raised a thousand for the YWCA Women’s Shelter in Calgary, as well as a few thousand for the Canadian Cancer Society’s lodging for the patients seeking treatment in Fort Saint John. With a fabulous blend of Roots/Country and Christmas music, the tour has enjoyed performances from over three dozen artists in the past

Campbell River
Three young aspiring entrepreneurs are working to bring a craft brewery to the city, and at the same time play a role in the city’s attempt to revitalize downtown. Darrin Finnerty, Matthew Fox and Laura Gosnell are the eager, energetic faces behind Beach Fire Brewing – not only a place to quench your thirst but a gathering place for all ages. “We want to provide a social environment for everyone to enjoy,” Fox said during a presentation to city council Monday night. “It appeals to multiple demographics – it appeals to the younger crowd and the mature crowd.” Fox said while the brewery will serve high quality crafted beer, there will also be nonalcoholic drinks on the menu. The brewery will be paired with a restaurant specializing in tapas, to encourage engagement among patrons. Fox said Beach Fire Brewing will be a ‘third place’; a concept applied historically to places such as post offices, barber shops, and taverns – places where people congregate other than work or home. He added that the brewery would operate from noon to 9 p.m. “We’re not looking to have a rowdy crowd so if you want to continue to party, you’ll have to move on,” Fox explained. “We’re looking to gen-
be a boon to the area. “This type of activity is very well suited to downtown and, subject to MEDIA #: CC000F000 ZONE: reasonable management, is capable of making a significant contribution towards the OCP’s (official community plan) vision and objectives for downtown,” Osborne said. “It does not seem that the (brewing) process would be particularly noisy or carried out during nighttime hours.” Osborne added that staff approached bylaw enforcement officers in both Courtenay and

On Monday, council approved first and second reading of a re-zoning which will go to a public hearing. Chris Osborne, the city’s senior planner, said the craft brewery would

The Strathcona Regional District appointee to the regional library board has warned her colleagues that she likely won’t provide “good service.” Cortes Director Noba Anderson was selected at last Thursday’s inaugural meeting of the regional district to sit on the Vancouver Island Regional Library Board because there were no other takers. The other two options were Quadra Island Director Jim Abram, who declined because of his busy schedule with other boards, committees and commissions, and Area A Director Gerald Whalley who was ultimately chosen as Anderson’s alternate. A re a D D i re c t or Brenda Leigh has been the representative but was ineligible to be reappointed as directors cannot serve more than eight years consecutively on the library board. “I would love Director Leigh to be able to continue on with this,” Anderson said after she was nominated by Leigh to sit on the board. “I think it’s a matter of fit. It’s your passion and it’s a fit. It’s not my passion, I think I would be exceed-
ingly frustrated with that board. “I don’t think I would provide you good service,” Anderson told the regional district board at its inaugural meeting last Thursday. “If it is the only choice, I will do it, but I don’t think I will provide you good service. So I’m looking across the table to see if Jim (Abram) has any interest in libraries or Gerald (Whalley) who swears he’ll never attend.” Leigh tried to sell the position. “To me, the library board is one of the most important commissions or committees that anyone on this board could be on,” Leigh said. “It brings opportunity to communities, for community members to raise themselves up, to connect with the computers and the equipment that’s available at the libraries. You don’t get paid a red cent but it’s the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done for either the Comox Strathcona Regional District or the Strathcona Regional District.” Leigh said bringing new libraries, particularly to small, remote communities is one of the most rewarding things she has experienced in her role as a director. But that wasn’t enough to entice Anderson.
“I have absolutely no qualms with what Director Leigh is saying. It’s an incredibly important board, I don’t disagree,” Anderson said. “I just had such a souring experience with the whole Cortes situation (when the library was closed in 2012) with the senior staff and library board that I don’t think I would bring a fair-minded approach. I’m still upset over it.” But, seeing a stalemate and no other alternatives, Anderson said she would accept the appointment. Campbell River Director Charlie Cornfield extended his congratulations. “You’ll be just fine,” Cornfield told her. “You’ll provide balance.” Leigh promised Anderson she would “love it.” Abram acknowledged Leigh for her work on the library board. “She’s been a tireless advocate for this regional district,” Abram said. “She deserves our gratitude for her unselfish dedication to this appointment.” Campbell River Director Ron Kerr, who also sits on the library board, seconded that. “She served this region very well and I’ve seen first-hand her dedication to it,” Kerr said. “I hope to see you (Leigh) back.”

Charity – the joy of giving 3x8

It’s the time of the year for joyful giving! You carefully select the gifts you give to those close to you, of course, but you may also be thinking about another kind of giving – charitable giving to support the worthy causes you care about. Ideally, your gift should help your charity while minimizing your taxes and other estate fees and preserving your legacy. Here’s how you can make the most of your charitable giving.
a donation receipt for the ‘remainder interest’ of the trust.
Name a charity as your beneficiary This is your simplest option: In your will, simply leave a bequest of money or a gift in kind (such as securities or artwork) to a recognized charity. Your estate will receive a charitable donation receipt that could reduce the income tax on your final return and perhaps the immediately preceding return as well.
Establish a Charitable Life Annuity Set up the annuity for yourself, or for you and your spouse, and receive a lifetime income from the assets. Much of the annuity cash flow is tax-free and you will get a charitable receipt for a portion of the donations based on the amount of annuity income you receive and your life expectancy.
Establish a Donor Advised Fund You will receive an immediate tax receipt for all contributions made to the fund while retaining the right to advise as to which charities are to receive your fund’s income.
Establish a Private Foundation When you make a substantial donation, establishing a foundation allows your name or family’s name to be permanently associated with the cause you’ve chosen.
Establish a Charitable Remainder Trust This irrevocable trust holds assets such as cash and mutual funds. The interest and dividends are paid to you as taxable income. At the time of your death, the trust assets – known as the “remainder” – go to your designated charity. When you establish the trust, you will receive
Give the gift of yourself: Volunteer Your charity will certainly make good use of your monetary donation – and you, when you choose to take an active role as a volunteer.
Donate a life insurance policy while you live You will enjoy certain tax credits and your charity will receive the total death benefit under the policy.

IN MEMORIAM
In Loving Memory of
Al Wilson 1938-2014
One year past with loving memories. Our Dad was taken into ever loving arms to God. Those we love don’t go away, they are beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, and always near, Still loved and missed and very dear. We thought about you today and yesterday and days before, but that is nothing new, We think about you every day, think about you in silence and often speak your name. All we have are memories and a picture in a frame.
Edward James Rowsell April 23, 1946 - December 13, 2015
Edward was born in Vernon, BC to James and Rita Rowsell on April 23, 1946. While attending Vernon High School, Ed spent three seasons working in Yoho National Park. After graduation, Ed spent two years in drafting school and then on to BCIT to pursue a career in forestry. In 1967 he met the love of his life, Lorraine, who he married on August 29, 1970. In 1972 Ed & Lorraine moved to Tahsis as Ed took a job with Tahsis company as a Forest Engineer. They moved with the intention of staying for two years but fell in love with the community. In April 1975 they welcomed their first son Darren; in March 1980 came their second son Gregory and in February 1983, their 3rd son Jeffrey. Tahsis was the perfect place for Ed and Lorraine to raise their three boys. In 1990 Ed and his partner, Brander Hopkins, built their fishing lodge in Tahsis Narrows. They spent many years operating it as a lodge and created many memories as a family; fishing, working & hosting picnics. Ed spent many years volunteering in the community with the Lions Club, Chamber, Logger Sports, director and Boy Scout leader, as well as Alderman. Ed is survived by his wife of 45 years, Lorraine; his 3 sons Darren (Joanne), Greg (Jen & Grandson Forrest) and Jeff, his 2 brothers Roy & Peter (Wendy), his niece Christina (Chad, Hudson & Desmond) his nephew Paul and his great nephews Mitchell, Parker & Paxton. Ed is predeceased by his mom Rita Rowsell, his dad James Rowsells, his step-father Len Tober, his nephew James Rowsell. A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, December 20, 2015 at 1:00pm at Sutton’s Campbell River Funeral Home, 502 South Dogwood Street, Campbell River BC

HAROLD IRA FLINT 1938-2015
Harold died peacefully, December 11th, surrounded by his family after a short but courageous battle with cancer. Survived by his loving wife of 49 1/2 years Lynda, son David (Lisa), daughters Melissa (Barry Pigeon) and Janine (Chris Murray), and his nine grandchildren: Matthew and Devyn Flint, Keely, Sophie and Christian Murray and Austin, Tannis, Darci and Olivia Pigeon. Harold worked for 38 years at Elk Falls Pulp Mill and had been retired for the last 17 years. He was also a founding member of the Oyster River Fire Rescue and served his community for 37 years as a firefighter before he retired in 2012. Harold enjoyed his retirement with his wife Lynda and spent many hours in their garden at home and spoiled his grandchildren. Family was extremely important to Harold and he cherished them all. He was his grandchildren's loudest cheerleader no matter what the activity; there was barely a game or concert he missed. There will be no service. In lieu of flowers please make donations to YANA.
