Schools SD72 considers Discovery Passage and Oyster River schools for closure Mike Davies Campbell RiveR miRRoR

ecommendations have been made by senior staff of School District 72 (SD72) – and have been accepted by the district’s Board of Trustees – to begin the process that may see the closure of Discovery Passage and Oyster River elementary schools. At the Dec. 8 meeting of the board, it was decided that two elementary schools in the district needed to be closed due to various factors, and staff were tasked with producing – in time for consideration at this week’s meeting – a report recommending which two they would be. Beginning in September, students currently attending Oyster River Elementary would begin attending Ocean Grove Elementary and students attending Discovery Passage would attend Ripple Rock Elementary should the closures come to pass on the currently-proposed timeline. The recommendations were accepted by the Board of Trustees at the Jan. 12 public meeting after receiving the report from senior staff outlining the rationale behind

the choice of schools.

The rationale: Enrolment Issues Oyster River Elementary’s enrolment has seen a steep decrease over the years. Despite merging the population of Maple Elementary into that facility in 2003, the school still sits at only 40 per cent of its capacity. Student enrolment in that catchment has dropped 81 per cent over the past two decades, and that decrease is projected to continue. While Discovery Passage Elementary rebounded slightly this past September from its historic low of 56 students just a few years ago to, now, 70 students, the 57-year-old facility is still at only 53 per cent capacity. And they can’t solve the enrolment problems by enforcing catchment areas, due to provincial “school-ofchoice” legislation contained in the Schools Act. “You can’t force neighbourhood kids to attend their neighbourhood school,” Superintendent Tom Longridge told the board and those assembled to hear the recommen-

dations Tuesday night. “They can choose to go anywhere in the district should there be space and an appropriate program for them to attend.” The district could change the catchment boundary lines to encourage more enrolment, but at the end of the day, people still get to choose where they want to send their kids and approximately one quarter of the students in the catchment areas for these two schools are already choosing to attend school elsewhere. Parents or guardians of 28 students in the Oyster River catchment and 23 students in the Discovery Passage catchment area already choose to send their kids elsewhere

for school – the majority of which attend Ocean Grove or Ripple Rock, respectively.

The rationale: Financial Issues Oyster River and Discovery Passage are each in need of more than $2-million in repairs, and it’s difficult to acquire government funding for repairs when you can’t demonstrate you’re making the best use of your space, according to SecretaryTreasurer Kevin Patrick. “They’re going to take a look at the building, they’re going to take a look at the excess capacity,” Patrick told the board, “and they’re going

to ask the question, ‘Is it better to spend $2.3 million on this facility or is it better to move the students elsewhere?’ and they will reject a request for funding if they feel there isn’t a sufficient answer there.” Basically, the district has to demonstrate its current space is being well-utilized before it can ask for money to fix that space, and right now, it isn’t in a position where it can reasonably expect to demonstrate that. Discovery Passage and Oyster River are also two of the most costly facilities in the district to operate. Based on the numbers presented in the recommendation, Oyster

Next step in Rivercorp dissolution

FRIDAY, FRIDAY, JANUARY JANUARY 15, 15, 2016 2016 || CAMPBELL CAMPBELL RIVER RIVER MIRROR MIRROR || 33

Kristen Douglas CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

City council has dissolved most of the city’s economic development arm, Rivercorp. The organization’s seven volunteer board members finished up their roles as of Dec. 31 and at Monday’s council meeting, council, as a matter of legal process, cut the number of directors down to just one. That one director, Freeman Mary Ashley, has agreed to act as trustee of the economic development corporation for a term of up to 12 months. Mayor Andy Adams said council is thankful to Ashley for accepting the appointment and to the entire Rivercorp board for all of its efforts. “Council extends sincere thanks to the board

members for their contribution to the community through the work they have done,” Adams said. “I also want to acknowledge Freeman Mary Ashley for stepping forward and taking on this guiding role.” The move comes following the announcement last April that Rivercorp would be amalgamated into City Hall operations. Prior to that, in November of 2014, Rivercorp’s chief executive officer, Vic Goodman, and the Rivercorp board came to an agreement to part ways. Goodman and the economic development corporation were frequently criticized by the public for a lack of visible results during Goodman’s tenure with Rivercorp. A review of economic development was initiated by the cur-

rent council shortly after it took office in December of 2014. Ashley will take over the reins temporarily in order to meet legal requirements to keep the corporation structure intact, and enable economic and tourism operations to continue until a new model is implemented. Adams said that lawyers for Rivercorp and for the city have both looked over a set of resolutions which council passed Monday night in order to shrink Rivercorp down to one board member, Ashley. “Lawyers have worked to provide a mechanism where we can continue to move forward as per council’s recommendation in that we can continue with the pursuit of an economic development posting that is cur-

rently out,” Adams said. He added that the new economic development officer will work out of city hall and report to the city manager under the direction of council to advise on how economic initiatives should align with council’s strategic goals. The hiring process and full integration of the position into City Hall operations is expected to take six months. In the meantime, staff at the Enterprise Centre (across from City Hall) will continue to carry out community economic development initiatives and develop and distribute tourism materials for 2016. The city has also put out a call for proposals from tourism specialists to identify the best model to carry out the city’s tourism function, which includes

the pursuit of provincial approval for a local hotel tax. “What is before us today are special resolutions that maintain the identity of the association in the event we want to maintain that (current) model for the tourism entities that are currently out to RFP (request for proposals),” Adams said at Monday’s council meeting. “Council recognized tourism as a vital economic driver in Campbell River, and we are looking for input from industry professionals to create the best structure for tourism services in our community and region.” Rivercorp and Tourism Campbell River have both been run out of the Enterprise Centre, albeit with separate boards and staff and at an arm’s length from the city.

Closures: Parents skeptical of ‘benefits’

FRIDAY, JANUARY JANUARY 15, 15, 2016 2016 || CAMPBELL CAMPBELL RIVER RIVER MIRROR MIRROR || 55 FRIDAY,

From Pg. 1

River costs $13,181 per student to operate each year. Discovery Passage costs $14,115 per student to operate. By comparison, Ripple Rock costs $8,260 per student to operate and Ocean Grove costs $8,807 per student. Shifting Discovery Passage students to Ripple Rock and the Oyster River students to Ocean Grove – including the increased transportation costs associated with getting the children to and from the schools – is projected to save the district $914,174 in annual operations – money which can then be reallocated to benefit the district as a whole, and possibly keep other facilities from falling into disrepair as quickly as they do by just relying on annual governmentissued maintenance revenue.

Possible educational benefits to closures? Longridge says despite

what’s sure to be public consternation about the proposed closures, there are also, “a number of increased learning opportunities and flexibility for students,” that can be achieved by merging these smaller schools together. “When you have a bit larger school,” he told the board, “it allows for greater flexibility in creating positions in support of learning environments within the classroom and the school as a whole. There are more opportunities to differentiate and personalize instruction through flexible groupings.” Teachers can be better placed with students who learn best under their style of teaching – and students can be best placed in classes with other students who are on the same level – when there are more teachers, students and classrooms to be divided up, Longridge says. He also told the board and those assembled to hear the recommendations that more teachers and staff in one facility equal more opportunity for collaboration,

BC Hydro crews will be cleaning the John Hart dam intake gates on Tuesday, and this work requirement will mean a viewing opportunity at Elk Falls.

Elk Falls to flow at 10 times normal rate BC Hydro crews have noticed grassy debris and woody debris building up on the John Hart dam water intake gate trash racks. The debris, if left to accumulate, can cause pressure problems within the penstocks that deliver water to the generating station. To safely remove the debris, the amount of water drawn into the penstocks must be

reduced. BC Hydro has a fish flow target in the Campbell River below the generating station. With only about 40 m3/s coming out of the generating station during the cleaning process, the target river flow of about 85 m3/s will be provided by spilling about 45 m3/s down Elk Falls Canyon. The one-day spill will take place on January 19.

“We ask the public to stay away from the Campbell River above Elk Falls on January 19,” says BC Hydro Stephen Watson. Safety warning signage will be in place. “This will be an opportunity for the public, from the safety of the suspension bridge and lookout, to see Elk Falls flowing at a rate about 10 times normal,” adds Watson.

SD72 committee appointments and trustee representatives MIKE DAVIES

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

chool District 72 (SD72) needs to have a trustee on both the BC Public School Employers’ Association (BCPSEA) and the BC School Trustees’ Association (BCSTA) Provincial council, and those representatives were both selected at Tuesday’s public meeting of the board. Trustee Richard Franklin was elected board representative to the BCPSEA and chairperson Susan Wilson was elected as the BCSTA Provincial Council representative. Both these positions were elected by acclimation. “These are extra time commitments and they are also important ways for our local board to stay connected to the larger provincial movements in these different areas and then to bring back that information to the board,” Wilson said after being acclaimed. “So it’s certainly an important role to be able to fulfil.” The board also announced their trustee appointments to various committees for 2016 Tuesday. Vice-Chair Ted Foster and Trustee

John Kerr will represent the Board on the district’s audit and risk management committee. Trustees Kerr and Wilson will be responsible for public communications. Trustee Richard Franklin will serve as the board governance representative. Trustees Gail Kirchner and Daryl Hagen will represent the board on the district’s Calendar Consultation Committee. Trustees Daryl Hagen and Joyce McMann will represent the board on the district’s Core Pro-D Committee.

Relfection is a valuable endeavour

Each January, in my industry, it’s time to go back through the work you’ve done in the last calendar year, decide what the best things you did in a variety of categories were and then nominate those things for awards. Weird, right? Is it like that in any other business? Like, has anyone ever nominated themselves for, “Best Bank Teller of the Year in a Town With a Population Under 40,000,” or, “Best Automotive Detailing: SUV or Passenger Van”? Maybe they have. I don’t know. What I do know, however, is that it is both fun and frustrating to look back at all the work one has done over the course of a year and try to establish the “best” of it. Especially in journalism. It’s fun because in this business – as I assume is the case in most businesses – you move past yesterday pretty quickly. As much fun as it was to do a story or attend an awesome community event to tell people about, you have to move on,

School District 72 could keep all the schools it has open if it wanted to. Actually, that would be if you wanted them to. But you would have to convince the school trustees that personalized, small-scale, wage-inefficient delivery of education is more important to the majority than maximizing the expenditure of tax dollars. And that might be a hard sell. Disrupting children’s lives is never pleasant. Keeping kids in the same schools throughout their educational careers is without a doubt, the best case scenario. However, in today’s world is it realistic to expect? The fact of the matter is that the school district is operating some facilities at 40 and 53 per cent capacity. That means 60-47 per cent of the school is empty. On Tuesday, SD72 trustees named the schools they’re likely to close after review of district faciliWe say: Elephant aties. The two chosen – in the classroom Oyster River and Discovis the Education ery Passage – should not be a surprise to anyone. Ministry These are schools that are operating at 40 and 53 per cent capacity. Those schools could be kept open and doing so would send a strong message that the comfort of students is the top priority in delivering education in the district. But is it? Is sharing classes with more than one grade better? Is delivering limited selection, under-provisioned courses to a small group of students the best way to do things when they could go to a school with enough students per class to justify providing all the resources needed to deliver the curriculum? And some of these schools are newer too. Taxpayers in Campbell River and the neighbouring rural areas are a feisty lot and they have proven to be prickly about inefficient spending of public taxes. Just ask city council about that. It would take a brave school trustee to come out in favour of high-spending, small-classroom education delivery. School District 72 could have the proverbial goldplated education system. It could be lauded from far and wide about how it stuck to its guns and kept classroom sizes down and kept rural and neighbourhood schools open despite the current declining enrolment. SD72 can do that but it would cost a lot of money. The question comes down to, do trustees have the mandate to, in essence, waste taxpayers dollars? Then there’s the elephant in the classroom here – namely, the provincial Ministry of Education. This is a government department that has not been afraid to step in and overrule a board of school trustees because of its budgetary decisions. The provincial government would make short work of a board that kept schools open at 40 per cent occupancy. And it’s not like the relocated children won’t get an education – a first-class education, for that matter. They’ll probably get a better one because the efficiencies involved. The loss of schools impacts communities, there’s no doubt. It would be nice to keep them all open. But enrollment is declining and nothing seems to be stopping that. The schools could be kept open, if we’re willing to pay for them.

I’m not even sure how that’s going to be figured out. I mean, sure, if the judges are reading what is essentially the same story presented the same way over and over again, those articles aren’t going to get high scores in, “original treatment,” but how, exactly, are they going to judge an article’s interest to the community? I’m pretty sure they’re not going to take a poll of the local community for every story they receive in each category and ask them whether they cared about the subject. For that matter, I hope we’re not writing things the community doesn’t care about in the first place. In any case, by the time you read this, the nominations will have been sent. Whether I receive any awards for my work this year is really neither here nor there. That’s not why I do this. I am glad the awards exist, though, if only for the opportunity they afford me to take some time to reflect on what I’ve been doing and appreciate the fact that this is what I get to do for a living.

Security clearance wait times an issue in hiring for RCMP detachment ingly difficult because of substantial wait times for security clearances. Bowles said the problem surrounds staff working in a municipal police support role whom the city is responsible for providing as part of an agreement with the province. “Those staff that work at the RCMP have to have security clearances of course,” Bowles said.

KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

City of Campbell River staff are hoping a review of the RCMP contract will help solve staffing problems at the local detachment. Ron Bowles, the city’s corporate services manager, told city council at its Monday meeting that instating new staff members is becoming increas-

“That security clearance is through the RCMP and it can take up to eight months. “So, you know that’s a little problematic for us to supply staffing,” he added. “It gets a little tough when you have to wait eight months.” At Monday’s council meeting, Bowles suggested council provide that input to the Union of British Columbia

Municipalities (UBCM) which is asking for municipal comment up until Jan. 22 as part of a five-year review of the RCMP Police Services Agreement. A provision within that agreement allows Canada and the provinces and territories to undertake a five-year review to look at and address any substantive issues, including financial issues, arising out of the agreement. Bowles told council he’d like city staff to be able to give its feedback. “I am hoping council will consider asking UBCM to take a look at this, talk to the province, and talk to the RCMP and see if there’s a way that we can find ways to reduce the wait time for security clearance for municipal staff,” Bowles said. Coun. Charlie Cornfield said that if there’s a problem, then it’s up to council to take it up with UBCM. “I think this is important,” Cornfield said. “I know policing is one of our single biggest costs in the city and if there’s any issues we need to address, this would seem

important that we let UBCM know.” The rest of council agreed and voted to refer the issue to city staff. While the city will have the opportunity to provide that input to UBCM, the feedback will not necessarily be included in the actual RCMP contract review. That’s because the rules governing the review

ut O w ! k e ec r N ship h C u ler O a e D

stipulate that for a matter to be included in the five-year review, it must be raised by and involve more than one province or territory. It must also be agreed upon by a National Contract Management Committee. UBCM said so far it has heard concerns regarding: the potential impacts of the impending new RCMP labour

relations model; cost implications of the national programs such as the police dog training centre and cadet training program; clarification around the ability to provide provincially established/governed integrated teams; having stronger language related to the federal commitment to local policing; and other cost drivers.

Message from the Executive

inor hockey week is an opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate all that makes minor hockey great. To reflect on what’s truly important about the game – community, friendship, competitive spirit, sportsmanship, commitment, volunteerism and teamwork. CRMHA has realized great success on and off the ice. Our representative program is strong and our recreational league competitive and fun. We have one of the best female development programs in BC and many new and returning officials each season. All of this has been made possible through the skill, work ethic and dedication of players, coaching staff, refs, volunteers and their supportive families. Our association is very fortunate to be so well supported in Campbell River. The business community has always been very generous and our hockey fans are simply outstanding. In turn, CRMHA is proud to contribute to the community by having each team choose a “give back” initiative. Over the past several years, our volunteers and players have collected approximately three thousand coats as well as warm hats, sweaters, socks and gloves to donate to those in need, we have sponsored many families for Christmas, participated in the River Relief Food Drive, Christmas hampers, hot meal service and much more. On behalf of the CRMHA Executive, I’d like to take the opportunity to express how proud we are to be involved in minor hockey and we hope that during Minor Hockey Week our members and volunteers look back on their involvement and recognize the value that they have brought to the game and realize many lifelong friendships made at the rink. Yours in hockey, Meghan Mills, CRMHA President

he Campbell River Badminton Club hosted its annual tournament Jan. 8-10 at the Sportsplex. Eighty-seven players including 21 who play in three clubs in Campbell River competed in Open events, 30+, 40+, 50+, 55+, 65+ and 70+ events. Campbell Players did extremely overall. Competitors came from various parts of the province including Prince George, New Westminster, Delta, Victoria, Sayward, Nanaimo, Duncan, Courtenay, Comox and Campbell River. Sheila Wardman of Eagle Bay, Shuswap travelled to play with her two brothers, Roy Wheeldon of Victoria and John Wheeldon of Campbell River. It was exciting to have all three Wheeldons play in our tournament as it has been 27 years or so since that has happened. Their father John Wheeldon Sr. was a long time member of the Campbell River Club and played many a tournament around the province. The tournament has either elimination draws of four events, main round, Plate, Special Plate and Consolation Plate as well as several Round Robin draws.
