Coldest Night organizers hope walk will raise $30,000 to help homeless Lindsay Chung Campbell RiveR miRRoR

or one Saturday evening in February, Campbell River residents can get a feel for what it’s like out on the streets, while raising money to help those who live there. The third annual Coldest Night of the Year fundraising walk will take place Feb. 20. It’s a chance to walk two, five or 10 kilometres downtown to raise money for Campbell River Family Services (CRFS). “We walk around the downtown core of Campbell River at five, six o’clock in the evening, so it gives people just a little taste of what it’s like to be outside, regardless of the weather,” said event organizer Paul Mason. “We were quite lucky last year; it was a beautiful evening. But the year before, there was rain and a mix of snow so it was quite uncomfortable, so it just gives people a little feel of what it’s like to be outside. But, you know, at the end of our walk, we go into a nice warm building, we have a bowl of chilli, we have hot chocolate and people go home to their warm beds - and the homeless don’t.” Mason feels that in the past two years, this experience has helped open people’s eyes to the challenges faced by people who are homeless. “It really creates an awareness of being on the streets, regardless of whether it’s Campbell River or anywhere else,” he said. “The thing about it, too, is it’s a family event

Due to a prolonged and steep decline in thermal coal prices, changes in market demand and policy disincentives, Quinsam Coal cannot operate economically and will suspend coal production indefinitely, General Manager Gary Gould announced last week. Mine operations will be placed into “care and maintenance” and all contractual supply commitments will be met from existing inventories. Quinsam will continue to meet its obligations under the Mines Act and the Environmental Management Act. Quinsam’s current workforce of 66 will be reduced significantly during the transition to the care and maintenance mode. “This is a sad day for us,” Gould said. “As an important contributor to the mid-Vancouver Island economy, coal from Quinsam has been an

important source of locally-sourced fuel and raw material feedstock for the Pacific Northwest cement industry since 1987.” Quinsam Coal began as an open pit mine in 1986. It switched to underground mining in 1993 with open-pit mining ceasing in 1994. Quinsam produced high-quality thermal coal that was sold to the cement industry in British Columbia and to international cement and power-generating customers around the Pacific Rim. Coal from Quinsam was trucked to the Middle Point barge-loading facility in Campbell River and then was loaded onto barges for either: 1) direct shipment to the cement industry, or 2) shipment to Texada Island, where it is transloaded onto Handymax and Panamax-class ships for delivery to international customers.

because you’ll walk around Campbell River and you’ll see people wearing Coldest Night of the Year toques from last year,” he said. “It’s a real community event so people look forward to it. The bottom line is it is about raising funds, and it’s a fun way to do it.” The third annual Coldest Night of the Year walk, presented by Campbell River Family Services in partnership with 2Day FM, takes place Feb. 20 at 5 p.m. The walk starts and finishes at the Campbell River Community Centre at 401 11th Ave., and registration opens at 4 p.m. at the Community Centre. There will be opening ceremonies at 5 p.m., and the walk begins at 5:15 p.m. Registration closes at 6 p.m., and the route closes at 8 p.m. Walkers are invited to linger at the community centre after the walk, as thereLEA will be hot chocolate, F coffee and chili available from 6-8 p.m. For more information about the walk or about Campbell River Family Services, contact Paul Mason at 250-287-2421. ††Government 5-Star Safety Ratings are part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA's) New Car Assessment Program (www.SaferCar.gov). *Limited time weekly lease offer and all other offers are from Honda Canada Finance Inc., on approved credit. #The weekly lease offer applies to a new 2016 Civic 4D LX 6MT model FC2E5GE/Pilot LX 2WD YF5H1GE/HR-V LX 2WD MT RU5G3GEX for a 60-month period, for a total of 260 payments of $58.86/$111.65/$66.75 leased at 3.99%/4.99%/4.99% APR based on applying $240/$0/$380 “lease dollars” (which are deducted from the negotiated selling price after taxes). ‡Down payment of $0.00, first weekly payment and $0 security deposit due at lease inception.

Mason says CRFS would like to encourage friendly competition - emphasis on the “friendly” - so that, for example, if a group from one bank puts together a team, another bank will put together a team. Mason says the momentum “absolutely” has been building since the first Coldest Night of the Year walk here in 2014. “It’s been fantastic,” he said. “Both previous two years, we’ve achieved our target, and the community response has been fantastic. People really enjoy it. It’s a great family, community event. It’s a lot of fun.” Mason says they saw lots of walkers from the first walk return to take part in the event last year. “It’s really neat

Storm owner faces charges

The co-owner of the Campbell River Storm is facing charges in connection with an assault. According to Campbell River RCMP, police officers responded to a report of an assault at a 16th Avenue residence on Dec. 12. After an investigation, a Crown report was submitted supporting charges against Kevin Ronald Spooner, the co-owner of the team. Spooner is facing one charge of assault causing bodily harm and two charges of uttering threats. A statement from the Campbell River Storm was issued in connection with this situation. It says: “The Campbell River Storm are aware of the criminal allegations towards Kevin Spooner and while we cannot comment on an impending legal matter we would like to assure everyone that we hold the highest standard of conduct within our organization and have taken positive measures moving forward. We are looking forward to the end of the regular season and another suc-

cier Kings’ owner Dave Webb, 67. On Jan. 24, 2014, Spooner confronted Webb in the concourse of the Rod Brind’Amour Arena. Spooner was angry over the Glacier Kings’ recruitment of a player who once played for the Storm. Intent on pressing his claim for compensation, Spooner shouted profanities at Webb and behaved in a very aggressive manner, the judge said. “As he parted from Mr. Webb, he struck him a trifling blow on the head which caused no injury,” Judge Ted Gouge said. Later that day, the judge said, Spooner confronted Glacier Kings Coach Joey Ewing outside the arena and by

Our View

Here’s your chance to do something about homelessness It is once again time for Campbell River Family Services’ (CRFS) local Coldest Night of the Year Walk. This year’s walk will take place Feb. 20 and all of the funds raised will go toward providing relief to the homeless in Campbell River. There has been much debate about homelessness in Campbell River this past year and comments left on social media and other forums have referred to homelessness in light of the support government and local people are providing to assisting Syrian refugees. One of the most common questions is why do we give so much to refugees but – supposedly – little to our own homeless? Well, it’s really a case of comparing apples to oranges because we’re a rich enough country to do both. But the thing is, you have to actually do something and if you feel that we all need to do more for the homeless in our community, then this is your golden opportunity to do so. Sign up for the Coldest Night of the Year and collect pledges. Organizers have set a goal of $30,000. It seems like such a modest goal, let’s push that total higher and then you can proudly say, “I did something to fight homelessness in my community.” This year, CRFS will put the money raised by the walk towards finding a temporary location for a sobering assessment centre. All you have to do is register online, pay $25, collect pledges and then walk two, five or 10 kilometres in downtown Campbell River on Feb. 20. What could be easier? For more information, contact Paul Mason at 250-287-2421.

Re: Noboco Fire. On Monday (Jan. 4) we experienced a small fire in our warehouse as a result of a warehouse light failure. Our staff acted quickly and implemented the emergency fire plan that we have in place. Thankfully the fire was contained to a small area and our employee action kept the staff safe and the fire suppression systems worked as intended to allow help the fire department keep the flame spread to a minimum. Our warehouse experienced smoke damage to the product and fire damage to the structure. We are currently cleaning up warehouse and the Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) packaging that was damaged with most being sent for recycling at our sister facility. Part of our emergency response plan ensured our customers continued with their supply despite our two day shutdown. Noboco’s production restarted again on Wednesday and we couldn’t have gotten the quick turnaround without the work of our staff, the cleanup crews and fire department. On behalf of our staff and our company I’d like to thank the Campbell River Fire Department for their quick response and bravery running to save our facility and to all our stakeholders in supporting us through this process.

Hey, I’m probably the biggest supporter of recreation infrastructure there is. I wouldn’t say I subscribe to the rationale that “we need recreation facilities to keep our kids safe and off the street.” That argument gets thrown around as a justification for every recreational facility referendum or proposal. I think there’s some truth to it but there are other reasons for recreation facilities. And that one’s a bit sketchy because the kids getting in trouble “on the street” are not wayward soccer players who would otherwise be playing a game of footie but instead have decided to B&E a restaurant because they’ve got nothing else to do and nowhere to play soccer. New facilities are valid because they provide recreational opportunities for youth and adults and provide alternatives to unhealthy lifestyles. And they’re fun! The newest facility now open is the all-weather, artificial-turf field at Robron Park (see page 19). It opened last week after some controversy and misunderstanding about its funding.

I must never have played on a decent grass field because it was obvious how flat and smooth that artificial turf was. It was beautiful. Grass was never so even. Of course, I’ve never played soccer at a particularly high level so I couldn’t compare it to playing on, say, Wembley Stadium. Or even Swangard Stadium (in Burnaby). The turf field was a bit hard but it was really nice to play on. But I have to say, there was a touch of irony surrounding this story. I was planning to take some pictures of Riptide soccer action scheduled for the all-weather field on Sunday. I was wondering what they’d do about the snow and ice on about a third of the field. I arrived at game time to find the field deserted and still sporting snow and ice. I went back to the office to double check I had the time right. The Vancouver Island Premier League website indicated the game had been cancelled... due to weather! Isn’t it an allweather field? To be fair, it was the league that cancelled, not the City Parks and Rec Department. But still, it didn’t look good.

Off-roading gets less frustrating thanks to new site

Campbell River ATV Club opens new recreation area just north of Roberts Lake MIKE DAVIES CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

n November of 2013, Duncan MacTavish of Recreation Sites and Trails BC came to the Campbell River ATV club (CRATV) with a proposal. Off-roaders needed a place to call their own, he thought, and CRATV president Mike Coulter was immediately on board. “It’s always a challenge in the summer to find campsites that are offroad vehicle friendly,” Coulter says, and even when they’re found, conflicts understandably arise between the different types of users of those areas. “We really wanted a place of our own to be able to quad from,” he says, where those conflicts wouldn’t arise. Thousands of manhours of work over the following two-plus years and $140,000 later, Pye Mountain Recreation Site, which opened to the public this past Dec. 31, became the answer they’d been looking for. After that initial meeting with MacTavish, Coulter and the club started looking for the “how?” of making this thing happen. Then, out of nowhere, as if in response to their question, the National Trails Coalition (NTC) sent out notice in June of 2014 that they were making money available for people who wanted to build trail systems – including ones for offroad vehicles. That was the bump the organization needed. “We jumped in there and got the paperwork in and we were successful at getting that grant,” Coulter says. “Once we got that, Duncan (MacTavish) went to work

recreation site – which happened in late August 2015 – and they got into the dirty work of creating the trail system and recreation area. They were running out of time. The grants they’d received were set to expire at the end of the year, the first shovel hadn’t yet gone in the ground, and days were already starting to get shorter. They somehow managed to get a fourkilometre trail system created – including location and directional signage – along with a 24-space camping area, complete with custommade picnic tables, outhouses, fire pits and picnic shelters, all completed by years’ end, complying with their grant requirements, thanks to various volunteers and sponsors. “There’s nowhere else on Vancouver Island like this,” Coulter beams. “There’s no other site that is primarily designed for off-road vehicles.” As far as the trails themselves are concerned, the club has an area map on display at the site that rates different paths’ difficulty, much like ski runs on a mountain. Green trails are considered relatively easy riding, blue ones

and got Rec Sites and Trails to match those funds,” as the NTC grant was contingent on matching funds coming from somewhere, “and that gave us enough money to go forward and make definite plans.” Getting a site approved was possibly the most difficult aspect of the process – at least administratively. “We had to find a site that fit not only our own criteria but all of the stakeholders’ criteria. Everyone from trappers to woodlot owners had to approve that we build the site, and that was only step one,” he laughs. Their own main criteria was that it not be located on a lake. They figured that if it was located beside water, they’d become “just another rec site,” Coulter says, and would be back at square one, fighting for space with boaters, fishermen and other recreational users. Once they had a spot everyone was satisfied with, they got the land designated a provincial

require having a bit more technical riding skill, and black ones are the most difficult. Another benefit to the process, aside from the obvious one of ending up with a dedicated area in which to ride and camp, is that lines of communication between riders and other forest users have been opened and improved, Coulter says. “We’ve developed a really good relationship with the forestry people in the area out by Stella Lake,” Coulter says. “We

cooperate, we get along, we interact. They let us know where there’s active logging going on, now, which is great,” he says, because then they can stay out of each other’s hair, so to speak. The forestry companies and government, Coulter says, are also starting to realize that off-roaders are, “another set of eyes out there for them. We pop out of nowhere, so people who are up to no good are more cautious, because they know we’re out there.”

The property is just five kilometres off Highway 19 on Elk Bay Road – just north of Roberts Lake – and Coulter couldn’t be happier about how it turned out. After all the hard work, administrative hurdles and complications, along with engineering issues to be dealt with, he’s still smiling, and clearly itching to get back up to the trails. “It was all worth it,” he says, leaning back in his chair. The site is open to the public now, and

those who are into riding should watch for an official grand opening event to happen soon. The club is also hoping to soon begin planning various events such as family rides, poker rides and jamborees.

Union report of cuts at New Horizons unfounded, director says Kristen Douglas CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

New Horizons has told city council that accusations by the union representing some of its staff were “inaccurate” and based on unverifiable information. Sandra Murphy, site leader and director of care at New Horizons, wrote in a letter to council that claims by the Hospital Employee’s Union, which represents the employees of Care Corp who are employed at New Horizons seniors home, were unfounded. The union had voiced

concerns about what it said would amount to a cutback in staff hours and the negative impact those cuts would have. “The union’s accusations were based on information that had not been verified and in many cases was inaccurate,” Murphy said. “This inaccuracy has been confirmed by HEU (the union) in a letter to Park Park on Dec. 16, 2015.” Excerpts from the HEU’s letter, as written by Murphy, read: “…we have subjected our original calculations to closer review and believe that

we were missing key information that may have led to errors in those calculations” and that the union is “less clear as to how the staffing changes will impact the LPN (Licensed Practical Nurses) and RN (Registered Nurses) staffing at New Horizons.” However, the union told the Mirror in December that its concern was related to cuts to staffing hours for residential care aides that are “significant.” Murphy said the new model is necessary to comply with the care

requirements of Island Health which funds New Horizons to deliver care to a certain standard. “This standard applies to all providers of funded care on Vancouver Island,” Murphy wrote. “It requires 20 per cent of the care to be provided by professional care staff such as RNs, LPNs and professional therapists. “The remaining care is provided by non-professional care staff such as registered care aides. This model of care is determined by (Island Health) to be the best staff mix to ensure the best quality of care for

residents.” Island Health, which holds an operating contract with New Horizons, confirmed in its own letter to council that hours for those particular employees will be cut, but the move is in an effort to improve care. “The hours worked by Registered Nurses and Licensed Practical Nurses are being increased,” wrote Norm Peters, executive director of residential services for Island Health. “We recognize that the union which represents the non-professional (e.g. care aide) staff

whose hours are being decreased, is concerned about this change. However, Island Health supports the shift to more RNs/LPNs as it will benefit patients and their family members. Please be assured that these changes are not about reducing costs, as the expenses associated with reductions in non-professional hours is being spent on increasing professional (RN, LPN) staffing hours.” Peters went on to say that the majority of staff at New Horizons are happy with the changes as it means an end to

historical staffing practices of people working days, then evenings, then nights. “Under the new schedule, staff will be dedicated to working days, evening or nights, creating consistency for care teams and hours worked.” Peters said the changes are also designed to improve resident care, particularly when help is needed the most. Peters concluded his letter by saying that delivering high-quality residential care is a top priority for Island Health and its service partners.

Is it better to buy a big ad or a small ad?

I think I might have the winter blues… or is it depression?

In many instances smaller space ads can be just as effective as a full page ad depending on the content and the purpose of the ad.

For those lower risk investors who want to buy RRSPs but cringe at the extremely low GIC rates, there are other options. Segregated Funds can be an excellent tool for RRSPs. They Darlene Garat are essentially a mutual fund Financial Advisor in an insurance wrapper, giving the account holder protection in the form of maturity & death benefit guarantees, creditor protection and more. Work with an insurance broker to ensure you invest with a company that offers a lot of choice and flexibility. Be careful with fee structures and “income products” as penalties can be high should you need to access your savings. Like mutual funds, stocks and GICs, there are a lot of segregated fund products to choose from, so speak to a Insurance Broker to find the best RRSP company and product for you.

Full house shows support for new craft brewery

www.CampbellRiverMirror.com www.CampbellRiverMirror.com

Kristen Douglas CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Despins said he believes Beach Fire will attract people from out of town who make craft breweries a target destination. He said there’s already a buzz around town. “Several times a week over the past couple of months, someone has asked me if I’ve heard of the new brewery opening in town and they’re very excited,” Despins said. “I look forward to their opening because I fully intend to make Beach Fire Brewing and Nosh House my third place.” The craft brewery is the brainchild of young,

local entrepreneurs Darrin Finnerty, Matthew Fox and Laura Gosnell. It’s intended to be a ‘third place’ – a concept applied historically to post offices, barber shops and taverns; places where people congregate other than work or home. Their vision is for a gathering place where everyone is welcome, where quality craft beer flows and tapas are plentiful, to encourage engagement among patrons, rather than a sit down meal. “We love gett ing together with our friends

and we love a place where everyone knows our name,” Fox said, in explaining the concept to city council. “We’re looking to join the city in revitalizing downtown and we’re interested in bringing activity downtown.” Fox said the trio are also looking to create 15 new jobs in the community, including kitchen positions, serving and management jobs. Heather Gordon Murphy, who was representing the Downtown Business Improvement Association (BIA) at Monday’s

public hearing, said the creation of more local jobs is just one of the reasons the BIA is in full support of the brewery. She said beyond that, the brewery also fills vacant space downtown and is a selling feature to people considering moving to Campbell River. “It is a great addition to downtown, offering a place to gather as a community,” Gordon Murphy added. “It will enhance the already good downtown food options and will retain people in the downtown area after work and after events,

especially in the evenings.” Laurel Sliskovic, president of the Young Professionals of Campbell River, said her group is also strongly in support of Fox, Finnerty and Gosnell’s vision. “This brewery shows entrepreneurial initiative in a creative and community-minded way,” Sliskovic said. “Downtown revitalization in the form of a craft brewery and nosh house by locally owned and operated people is something many of our members are excited about.”

Can cold sores caused by the herplex simplex virus be passed on to another person once you are infected?

Should I continue running during the winter months?

Yes. To keep from spreading the virus: • Do not have skin-to-skin contact with young children and people who are immunocompromised. • Do not share forks, spoons, drinking containers, razors, or towels. • Wash hands with soap and water.

Although you do not want to put your running routine on hold, it is a good idea to consider your risks before heading out the door. Ensure your running trails are clear of ice Natalia Brown Physiotherapist and delay your run during changing weather conditions. If you jog in the evenings, select well-lit paths or invest in a comfortable headlamp. Wear reflective gear to avoid getting hit by a car and put on well-fitting shoes with good grip. Save enough strength to come back and consider doing several smaller loops instead of one big one. Stretching should always be an important part of your running routine.

B eer enthusiasts packed a public hearing Monday night in support of a new craft brewery for Campbell River. People filled the City Hall council chambers to capacity to show support for allowing craft brewery as an acceptable use for the brewery’s proposed site on 11th Avenue and for all commercial properties throughout the city. Trevor Despins, who works for Investor’s Group which will become

neighbours with Beach Fire Brewing and Nosh House, said he’s eager to take advantage of what is intended to be a welcoming place that encourages social interaction. “We believe Beach Fire will attract people to the downtown and provide a social venue that complements venues like the Community hall, Spirit Square and the Tidemark,” Despins told council at Monday’s public hearing. “It will provide a unique and refreshing alternative for dinner and social interaction.”

The simplest option, if you have a spouse that does not have a forthcoming pension Darlene & Peter Garat or a high RRSP investment account in their name already, is to buy your RRSPs in a spousal account. When the time comes to take income it will be taxed in their name, and tax bracket, not yours. You can still do a certain amount of pension splitting to minimize taxes, and initiate a spousal RRSP “meltdown” to nonregistered funds prior to retirement to even further shrink that tax bill. If saving for retirement is your main concern, and not maximizing tax refunds now, there are many highly efficient tax shelters that can be utilized,Tax Free Saving Accounts and Cash Value life insurance to name just two. It is important to look at your needs now and at retirement, and build and follow a flexible savings plan to ensure you keep as much of your retirement income as possible.

Executive Director of the Campbell River Arts Council Ken Blackburn holds up a copy of Sybil Andrews Linocuts: A Complete Catalogue at the Sybil Andrews Cottage in Willow Point, where Andrews spent her final years – and is also the current home of the Arts Council.

Sybil Andrews’ linocuts all in one place

collection of the linocuts renowned international artist Sybil Andrews – who spent her final years right here in Campbell River – has been published by Lund Humphries, in association with Osborne Samuel Galley, of London, England, and the Campbell River Arts Council is getting some copies for her local fans. A complete catalogue of Andrews’ linocuts, this beautifully presented publication also includes a substantial essay that contextualizes Andrews’ oeuvre and analyses the linocuts in detail. Making a significant contribution to the literature available on this fascinating period in British printmaking history, Sybil Andrews Linocuts will appeal to the many collectors and admirers of Andrews’ work as well as those with a broader interest in the art of the period. “Hana Leaper’s book is much needed,” says Gordon Samuel of the Osborne Samuel Gallery.

“Andrews was a printmaker first and foremost and, like her Grosvenor School colleagues, was encouraged by their mentor and teacher Claude Flight. They adopted a Cubist-FuturistVorticist pictorial language that discarded the outrageous political ideas of the Futurists and cultivated instead a personal adaptation of modernism. Their work has found a very firm place in the annals of twentieth-century printmaking and has stimulated an international circle of collectors attracted by the energy, colour and modernity of the prints. It seems fitting, therefore, that Andrews’ entire oeuvre is illustrated in colour for the first time here.” Ken Blackburn, executive director of the Campbell River Arts Council, who manage the Sybil Andrews Cottage in Willow Point, says he’s thrilled that Sybil’s work is finally collected in one place. “What a wonderful publica-

tion,” Blackburn says. “I spoke with the author during her research phase and emphasized the importance of Sybil’s Campbell River years. Campbell River features prominently in the book, an aspect of her story generally not very well known in Europe.” The author, Hanna Leaper, was formerly a lecturer in English literature and art history for the department of Continuing Education at the University of Liverpool and on the art and design programme at the University of Wolverhampton. After a sixmonth period cataloguing and curating the Angelica Garnett Gift at Charleston, she currently works at the Paul Mellon Centre for British Arts on the British Art Studies journal. The Arts Council has ordered in a number of the books. The 136 page catalogue is available for $100.

It was the beginning of a long night for Oceanside Generals goaltenders as Brandon Ward is beaten by the Storm’s Reece Costain in the first period to notch the 2-0 goal. Kostiw would be chased from the net after 37 minutes of play to be replaced by backup Matt Henwood. The storm won 13-1.

Oceanside coach tastes sour grapes after lopsided loss It was a busy weekend for the Campbell River Storm, two games and a big trade at the deadline. On Sunday, the team announced that they have acquired Jake Mullen from the Summerland Steam of the KIJHL in exchange for Matt Kostiw. Mullen is the top rated netminder in that league with a 1.77 GAA and a .934 save percentage. According to General Manager and Head Coach, Lee Stone, “Jake is a goaltender we had our eyes on for a while and we are excited to add a bonafide starting goaltender who led his team to the KIJHL finals last season.” Mullen, a 20 year old, hails from Coeur D’Alene Idaho.

Kostiw was selected to the VIJHL All-star team just last week and holds a 2.31 GAA. According to Stone, “Matt was an incredibly well-liked young man and handled the move like a pro, we would like to thank him for his contributions to the Storm family.” On the ice, the team dominated in their two weekend victories, a 13-1 shelling of the Oceanside Generals on Friday and 8-4 doubling of the Comox Valley Glacier Kings Saturday. Keenan Scardina is having an incredible January since returning from a November injury. The 6’ 3”, 195 pound forward has picked up 8 points in four games including a hat-trick on

Saturday in Courtenay. Coach Stone commenting on the weekend play talked about the lulls, “Twenty-one goals on the weekend, we’re happy with that. Eight goals tonight (Saturday), we’re happy with that. The power play looked good, we’re happy with that but there needs to be a bit more focus on the D-side of the puck.” In a crazy second period in the Glacier Kings game, the two teams combined for 5 goals in the space of just 1 minute and two seconds,. But at least one opposition coach is not enamoured with being on the losing end of lopsided scores against the Storm. Oceanside Coach Brad Knight said after The

■ ■ ■ ■

Storm beat the Generals 13-1: “They like to play that way,” Knight said. “Normally, when you’re up big you let the foot off the gas but Campbell River likes to embarrass people, that’s the kind of class they show as a team...” In other Storm news, five players will be heading to the VIJHL All-star game on Sunday at the Q-Centre in Colwood. Captain Gage Colpron, Colin Blake, Alex Rosolowsky, Trevor Bottomley and Alex Brewer will be representing the city on the ice. The Storm coaching staff will be behind the bench for the North Division team; Head Coach Stone, Associate Coach Mike Wilson, Assistant Coach

Brendan Enns and Trainor Jami Harris. Next regular season game is Thursday at the Nanaimo Ice Centre against the Buccaneers before a Friday home date with the Kerry Park Islanders. – with files from the Parksv ille-Qualicum Beach News

Bantam Bears roll to victory The Campbell River Bantam Bears are tournament champions again. This past weekend, the local group of 13 & 14 year olds travelled to Gold River to take part in the annual Hawks tournament and came away with the championship in an exciting 6-3 win over the Pt. McNeil Warriors. The Campbell River squad came out flying in the first period, scoring 5 times to take a commanding lead. Goals by Reed Price, Dakota Sinclair, Brandon Vandervalk, Austin Gurney and Heydon Campbell put the Warriors on their heels, as goaltender Jared McAneeley made numerous key saves to keep the momentum going for the Bears. Penalty trouble helped the Pt. McNeil team get on the board with 3 goals of their own, but the constant pressure from the Bears forwards, and stellar defensive play on the back end, plus another goal by Sinclair in the third period gave the Campbell River team their second tournament championship win this season. Dante Triumbari and Campbell each had two assists, while single assists went to Austin Gurney, Robert Gurney, Kieran Prevost and Jake Bryla. Game MVP went to goalie Jared McAneeley, while Kieran Prevost was given the “Digger” award. The Bears earned a spot in the final game by defeating the Juan De Fuca Grizzlies 5-3 in their semi final match earlier in the day. Goals by Sinclair (2), Camp-

bell, Bryla and Vandervalk helped lead the way for the locals, with assists going to Sam Gale, Braden Loland and Triumbari. Game MVP went to Bryla, while Triumbari picked up the “Digger” award. In round robin action, the Bears defeated Pt. McNeil 6-2 to open the tournament. Vandervalk netted a hat trick, while Robert Gurney had a pair and Campbell with a single. Game MVP was Vandervalk, with the “Digger” honors going to Robert Gurney. Game 2 for the Campbell River team saw them defeat Powell River 10-2, on goals by Austin Gurney (2), Robert Gurney (2), Vandervalk (2), Loland, Campbell, Prevost and Price. The Bears unselfish play and quick puck movement was

the difference in this game, with assists going to Robert Gurney (2), Sinclair (2), Vandervalk, Prevost, Price and Austin Gurney. Game MVP was Price, and “Digger” went to Loland. The third round robin game was the only blemish on the Bears’ record all weekend, losing 8-6 to the host team Gold River Hawks. Playing in their third game of the day, the locals were running out of gas, but never quit, and gave the Hawks a great battle right to the end. Campbell River goal scorers were Austin Gurney (2), Sinclair (2), Bryla and Campbell. Assists went to Robert Gurney (2), Price (2), Gale and Sinclair. Sinclair was given the MVP honors in front of his home-

town crowd, while Gale was chosen as the “Digger” Coaches Hugh Gurney and Rupert Gale were very happy with their teams’ performance once again. “These guys work exceptionally hard every game. They move the puck well and play a very sound positional game. They are being rewarded for their efforts with wins like these”, said coaches Gale and Gurney. For the Bears, it was their second tournament championship in 3 tries so far this season. In November, they won the Ryan Clark Memorial tournament in Cowichan, defeating Langley 5-0 in the final, while they lost in the final game of their own tournament here in Campbell River, to the CR Rangers 3-2.

Fergus Hall gets the ‘call’

5x6

Being on Santa’s “Nice” list has its advantages. Over the holidays, long time Campbell River Youth Soccer Association (CRYSA) player Fergus Hall received an invite to join the High Performance Program of B.C. Soccer. Hall is one of 18 2002-born players invited into the program with its first camp kicking off Jan. 19-22 at Empire Fields in Vancouver. This camp is the first phase of a program that will see Hall train and play at both national and international venues throughout the spring and summer. Hall currently represents CRYSA by playing on the U14 boys Marine Harvest Upper Island Riptide team.

CAMPBELLTON

AMPBELLTON Neighbourhood AssociAtioN

A great river runs through it . . . By John Twigg, Secretary, Campbellton Neighbourhood Association

What is the best asset in Campbellton? Of course there are many notable assets in Campbell River's oldest neighbourhood, starting with the iconic Quinsam Hotel that's approaching 100 years old, but there also are several important parks and tourist attractions, notably the new Elk Falls Suspension Bridge in Elk Falls Provincial Park on the northern side of Campbellton and Nunns Creek Park on its south side (which will soon be upgraded). Another major asset is the fact that a major highway runs through Campbellton, both the old and new versions of the Island Highway, though more work needs to be done to encourage more of that traffic to stop and visit for a while (for which planning work is now in progress for an entrance feature at 14th Avenue). One could easily say the best asset in Campbellton is its people, for there are lots of interesting characters around, but really there are not many actual residents in Campbellton compared with other neighbourhoods such as say Merecroft or Willow Point or Georgia Park, and much of the housing that is in Campbellton is small and aging. Variety of businesses Similarly one could say the best asset in Campbellton is its wide variety of businesses, from major ones

serving resource industries to small ones serving niche markets, which no other neighbourhoods in Campbell River come close to matching in size or range or number of employees. Indeed Campbellton is a major hub in all of B.C. for large businesses serving forestry, mining, fishing, transportation, communications and other heavy industries - like B.C. Hydro's John Hart Generating Station now in the midst of an upgrade costing $1.1 billion! A prime example of those businesses is York Machine Shop, which was profiled here on Dec. 2. It was founded by Peter York in 1983 in a small shop at 1971 Island Highway, acquired in 1992 by Dennis Cambrey and expanded to a large facility at 1641 17th Avenue, and now it is constructing a much larger "shop" across the river in North Campbell River; it now employs about 45 people and is inventing, manufacturing and selling new machining devices all around the world. There are many other outstanding businesses in Campbellton worthy

of mention, such as Daigle Welding & Marine, which manufactures aluminum boats for major clients such as Port Metro Vancouver, and Bailey Western Star Trucks Inc., which has a very large operation at 1440 Redwood, and perhaps some day the Campbellton Neighbourhood Association will assemble and publish a roster of them. There are dozens of notable small and mid-sized businesses in Camp-

bellton too, many of them unique, such as Mussels & More Pottery Inc. at 1791 Island Highway, which has a great array of artistic gifts (pun intended), and HYGRO Gardening Supplies Inc. at 1791 Tamarac, which has an eclectic array of products including for the burgeoning hydroponics and greenhouse sectors. Campbellton's array of restaurants

may not be on the bucket lists of many international gourmands but for local customers they too form a notable asset, with good quality foods at affordable prices in a variety of genres from drive-through coffee and burgers to some interesting ethnic outlets, and arguably some of the best pizza in town at Ryan's Pizzeria at 1661 16th Avenue and White Tower Restaurant at 1920 Island Highway.

All of which is a very long segue to the main point, namely that Campbellton's best asset probably is the Campbell River itself.

The Quinsam Hotel's live-music venue the Quinnie deserves honourable mention too as a community asset, and HaigBrown House at 2250 Campbell River Road is a haven for arts and culture from prose and poetry to fly-fishing and environmental activism (though it needs better parking).

The options for dealing with those river access problems are addressed in a soon-to-be-released professional study prepared for the City by consultants affiliated with the Campbellton Neighbourhood Association; it will be presented soon to City Council.

Similarly we should give a shoutout to the Quinsam River Hatchery, which is another local world-class facility which recently was expanded and upgraded; its work helps keep the Campbell River reputed to be one of the world's greatest fishing rivers, but it's also great for river rafting, snorkeling and simply walking and hiking too.

As the novel and subsequent movie title say, A River Runs Through It. But the problem is that public access to that river is limited by fences, blackberry bushes and other impediments such as rocks and lack of parking at the end of Maple Street.

CNA AGM Jan. 13 Those and other issues were on the agenda for discussion at the CNA's annual general meeting scheduled for Wednesday Jan. 13 at the Eagles Hall (another notable asset!) beginning about 5:30 at 1999 14th Avenue. It is open to all interested people. Perhaps the Campbellton Neighbourhood Association will soon be seen as a major community asset too, but that will depend on the level of involvement of people determined to make a positive difference.

RAGA, Sonia (Baba)

October 21 1933-December 18, 2015 Our mother Sonia passed away peacefully after outliving her life expectancy following a cancer diagnosis. Mom was predeceased by her parents, her brother Eugene Kozeletski and her newborn Antonina Mary. She is survived by her beloved brother Michael Pozin (Marlene). Her four children that she cherished; Denise (Bill), Chris (Marie), Laurie (Pat) and Wayne. She also leaves behind her four wonderful grandchildren Dalyce (Daniel), Cory, Grady, and Bailey. Mom was full of life and humour and anyone who knew her could attest to her feisty, outspoken and stubborn as can be, attitudes. She was a generous soul to any child and to those less fortunate. She was known to have an extra place setting at Christmas as well as housing abused women in need of a safe house. Sonia’s volunteering will be a hallmark of her time with us. She sat on the Court of Revision, Red Cross Loans Cupboard, was on the Regional District Advisory Planning Commission, the CO-OP Board of Trustees and assisted in choosing students for scholarships and bursaries. Her lifetime of volunteering for the NDP party was one of her greatest joys. She was a long time reliable and very energetic party member who could always be counted on to help organize events on an election day. Between elections, she was active in the constituency serving on both the Comox and North Island Executives and worked on successful campaigns for: Karen Sanford, Colin Gabelmann, Ray Skelly, Tom Barnett and Claire Trevena. Mom will be remembered as a good mother, a great cook of ethnic foods and avid canner. A lady who tried and never gave up despite some difficult times in her life. She persevered and set many examples on how to overcome hardships. When her children went through some tough times, we knew she could be counted on for her unwavering support. The family would like to extend their deepest gratitude to Dr. Sullivan and to all in Home Care Nursing staff and a special thanks to the nurses on the 3rd floor North. You all went above and beyond what any of us expected. We are eternally grateful. As an expression of sympathy, donation to a charity of your choice would be appreciated by the family. A celebration of Sonia's life will be held on Saturday, January 16th, 2016 at the Eagles Hall, 1999 - 14th Avenue, Campbell River, BC, from 1 to 4pm. Mom asked that everyone wear bright colors. Rest peacefully Baba.

DARCY A. THEBEAU

Darcy passed away on January 6, 2016 at the age of 52 years. Born in Radway AB, but raised in Campbell River, Darcy was loved by many family and friends who will miss him dearly.

Marling, Douglas Frank

Nov. 1, 1942 ~ Nov. 24, 2015

He is survived by his loving children Blake, Crystal and Darcy JR. Darcy was a great man with an amazing character. He loved to laugh and live life to the full extent with a smile on his face. He loved the ocean and spent a lot of time out on it. Although he was a fearless thrill seeker and full of energy, he also had a compassionate and loving heart. All who had known and loved him will always miss him. The Thebeau family will hold a Celebration of Life party for Darcy in the summer of 2017 in Campbell River. All who would like to attend, may contact his family for details. Gone but never forgotten. May you rest in peace Dad. We will always love you.

Ann Fletcher (MacDonald) May 20, 1916 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; January 2, 2016

A loving daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, greatgrandmother, sister-in-law, aunt, friend and member of her community, Ann was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba. As a child, she loved being in the city at Christmas time. When Ann was eleven, she moved with her family to Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, where she graduated from school, married her high school sweetheart, Jim, and started her family. After the Second World War ended in 1945 and Jim was discharged from the Air Force, Ann, Jim, Marlene, Jerry and Bart moved to Comox, B.C. where they fell in love with Vancouver Island. In 1948, Annâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family moved to Campbell River where they established roots. When the C.R. Kinettes Club was formed, Ann was the first president. Ann and Jim loved to dance and when they heard dance music at home, Dad would take Mom in his arms and dance around the house. In 1956 and 1957, Mom and Dad added to their family with the birth of Kim and Laurie. Ann had a dream of owning a new home and in 1965/66, with the help of family and friends she built a house at 208 McPhredran St., doing a lot of the work herself. Ann had a gift for interior design, and her home reflected her many talents. In 1982 Ann and Jim moved to Ocean Shores condos along with some old friends where they also made many new friends. They had a wonderful time living at the beach. Ann and Jim celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary (June 19, 1987) before Jim passed away in 1988. In 2007, Ann moved to Ironwood Place where she enjoyed the company of old and new friends and the wonderful staff who worked there. During her working years Ann worked at Woolworths in Moose Jaw. She had to quit when she married Jim because, during the Depression, a wife could not work if her husband had a job. In Campbell River she worked at Laverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Whyteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shoe Store and Action Sports. Ann was predeceased by her parents, Hugh and Arrietta MacDonald, her husband, Jim Fletcher, and her brothers, Lenny and Marvin MacDonald. Ann will be dearly missed by her five children, Marlene Baker, Jerry (Morah) Fletcher, Bart (Roberta) Fletcher, Kim (Doug) McBain and Laurie Fletcher; 8 grandchildren: Janet, Noel (Wendy) and Carol Baker, Kara (Steve) Dick, Jennifer (Greg) Youzwa, Brad (Renee) McBain, Steve (Meg) McBain and Max Shilletto; 12 greatgrandchildren: Emma and Olivia Baker, Seth Baker and Blaine Baker-Kellett, Noah and Magda Baker-Worobets, Lucas and Eli Dick, Sophie and Levi McBain, Charlee and Rowen Youzwa. She will also be missed by her sister-inlaw Gladys MacDonald and many nieces and nephews. Ann and her family are extremely grateful for all of the kindness and caring we have received over the past number of months from friends, Ironwood Place, V.I. Health and Home Support, C.R. Hospital and Dr. Kerry Baerg. A family celebration of Annâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life will be held in the summer of 2016.

Lorna Merle Humphrey January 15th 1936 - January 7th 2016 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Lorna. She had a happy, fulfilling life that included: Living in logging camps Driving stock cars A vacation in Hawaii Working many years at Home Hardware Building a house Owning a business Winning $21,000 on a scratch ticket She married her best friend Ray, and raised two sons, Jim and John (Lisa). She also had four loving grandchildren, Jeremia, Ambrosia (David), Jillian, and Jack, as well as one great-grandson Leslie. A big thank you to Dr. Veerapen, all the nurses at the hospital, and Dan Munroe at Boydâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Funeral Service. Like in life, Ray stood by Lornaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side, holding her hand until the end. You will be forever in our hearts. There will be no service, by Lornaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request.

Audrey May Noton (Duff) Mom passed away peacefully January 4, 2016 in Campbell River, BC at the age of 86. Audrey was born on the family farm in Olds, Alberta on May 11, 1929. As the youngest of six children, Audreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s childhood was full of laughter and hard work. Even as a young child she displayed a generous and determined spirit that she carried through life. She married Ken Noton in 1951 and they settled in Duncan to raise their family. Audrey worked diligently as a bookkeeper and later owned and operated her own free range, organic dairy farm long before it was cool. After her husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death she and her son Kenny moved to Campbell River where she owned and operated a log hauling business until retirement. She was a vibrant, strong-minded woman who â&#x20AC;&#x153;didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take no guff from nobodyâ&#x20AC;?. She enjoyed horseback riding and reading but she was happiest when surrounded by family. She was also an excellent cook and her pies and buns were the highlight of family meals. She had a passion for animals of all kinds, especially the pet dogs she loved over the years. Her eye for beautiful jewelry and expensive sparkle is well known in the family (and has been appropriately inherited!). She is survived by her sister Alma Harper, her daughter Beverley Mitchell (Gregg), granddaughters Lana Lounsbury (Jeff), Jan Frew (Doug), Ruth Eden (Travis) and Karen Wylie (Ian) as well as great-grandchildren Claire, Hudson, Garrett, Dane, Aiden and Evita. She was predeceased by her husband Ken, and her son Kenny. We are extremely thankful for the unfailing kindness and attention she received at Golden Grove Care Home.

FAMILY ANNOUNCEMENTS

IN MEMORIAM

Vincent Lorne Ferris Jan. 13/34 - June 29, 2012

I have a picture of you on my coffee table, taken at Steph & Adamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wedding. You are standing head and shoulders above the rest, intent to catch every word of their vows. Your look is of love and pride. Today, now you have a new great grandson who carries your name. You would be so proud. Remembering you on your birthday. We miss you so much. Until we meet again. Love Sherri & Fred & Mom DEATHS

DEATHS

Brian David Power

The world has lost one of its sweetest, most gentle souls on January 6, 2016. Brian was born in Victoria, BC on June 19, 1946 and passed away peacefully at home with his wife, best friend and soul mate, Vicki Lee by his side. He will be forever missed by his daughter Cheryl Lee, son-in-law Brian, grandsons Stewart and Garrett Lee and his two brothers Russell (Janet) and Terry. He was predeceased by his sister Patricia Rothschild (nee Power), his father David Joseph Power and mother Prudence Cox Power (nee Borden). Brianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest achievement was his unending support of the cadet movement and over the course of his 34year career, he was both Commanding Officer of RCSCC Admiral Dewolf Sea Cadets and 2943 RCACC Army Cadets. His quiet leadership skills and guidance helped many cadets overcome challenges and succeed in their respective life goals. As in all things, Brian faced his final illness with determination, dignity and valiant courage. As per Brianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wishes, the family will have a gathering at a later date. Please respect the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s privacy at this time but cards are welcome. No phone calls please.
