Good Samaritan interrupts assault RCMP are praising a Good Samaritan for interrupting an assault on a woman taken from her home and driven to a remote area on Tuesday. RCMP received a call from a female victim stating she had been taken from her 400 block Dogwood Street home on Feb. 2 around 5 p.m. and driven to a remote area

where she was assaulted. The victim managed to escape after a passerby stopped and intervened, interrupting the assault and causing the suspect to flee. The Good Samaritan drove the victim to a local business where police were contacted. Campbell River RCMP were in the vicinity and responded imme-

received funding to host the event, Donaldson said. “It’s important to stay fit and healthy in wintertime,” she said. “It was an opportunity we saw through the First Nations Health Authority. We chose to work with youth to inspire and encourage embracing other cultures. “From there, we approached the middle schools and Robron to participate. Overall, in society, we are dealing with obesity, which leads to diabetes and other diseases, so we are just trying to encourage kids to stay as active as they can during the winter. “It’s all about staying fit.” Donaldson said the middle schools were extremely receptive when she approached them, and it is one way School District 72 is embracing First Nations culture. “The school district is working very hard to represent the cultural territories in the schools here by bringing cultural studies into the schools and having specialized studies at Robron,” she said. Donaldson said BC Parks let NIMN use Quinsam Campground

diately. The suspect, a 31-year-old male, who was known to the victim, was located and arrested shortly after using the vehicle description provided. “The Campbell River RCMP would like to thank the Good Samaritan, who intervened and undoubtedly prevented this assault

from being more serious than it was, but also the public for continuing to maintain a watchful eye,” said Campbell River RCMP Officer in Charge, Insp. Jeff Preston. The suspect remains in custody and the investigation is ongoing. If you have information about this or any crime, you are urged to

contact the Campbell River RCMP at 250-286-6221 or, if you wish to remain anonymous, Crimestoppers through: 1. By phone: 1-800-2228477(TIPS). 2. Online: www.solvecrime.ca. 3. By SMS Text : BCTIP and your message to CRIMES (274637).

Hundreds of students become Winter Warriors Campbell RiveR miRRoR

lose to 200 students from School District 72 can proudly call themselves Winter Warriors after completing the Winter Warriors Youth Run/ Walk on a cold and rainy morning earlier this week. Students from École Phoenix Middle School and Robron Centre took part in the 5K Winter Warriors Run/Walk Feb. 3 at Quinsam Campground in Elk Falls Provincial Park, which was funded by the First Nations Health Authority and hosted by the North Island Metis Nation (NIMN). Ernie Puglas of the Campbell River Indian Band and his family provided a blessing before the students did a warm up and took off to run or walk around the campground in the pouring rain. “It’s all about winter wellness today,” said Kealy Donaldson, project co-ordinator for the NIMN. “We chose to do a wellness event inclusive of all nations.” This was the first time the NIMN

Train time at the museum

Lindsay Chung/CampbeLL RiveR miRRoR

Four-year-old Trevan Larkam helps make the railway crossing sign move as Brian Torch controls the train at his display in the Annual Train Show Jan. 31 at the Museum at Campbell River. Torch, who lives in Campbell River, is a member of the North Island Railroaders. The Train Show is put on by members of the North Island Model Railroaders and other model train and remote-control logging equipment enthusiasts. “It’s our way to introduce model railroading to the public,” said Maynard Atkinson of the North Island Model Railroaders. “It’s also our way of fundraising for the museum. People like trains. It’s a good hobby too.” Atkinson has been interested in trains for as long as he can remember. “I can remember as a boy riding a model train in a park; I was fascinated by why did the train follow the tracks, and from then on, I’ve been interested in trains. I like the history too.”

he mayor of Port Hardy is the latest to add his name to the list of people lobbying the province to scrap proposed parking fees at the new hospital. Mayor Hank Bood wrote a letter to the province’s Health Minister Terry Lake in response to Lake’s reply to a letter from MLA Claire Trevena. In Lake’s letter he says that the province supports Island Health’s plan to charge for parking at both the new Campbell River and Comox Valley hospitals. That didn’t sit well with Bood who told Lake that charging for parking will add to the financial toll his residents already face in having to travel nearly three hours for higher level medical care. “In an area where most residents will be travelling by car with no other options to access the facility (it) will create a huge burden,” Bood wrote, adding that Port Hardy council does understand there are costs associated with a facility such as the hospital and in providing adequate parking for users. But, he said, there are other hospitals in B.C. that have free parking and he said Campbell River’s hospital should remain one of the

SRD hires new chief administrative officer

The Strathcona Regional District has hired a new chief administrative officer to lead the organization. David Leitch will report to work in his new role on March 1. John MacDonald, chair of the regional district board, said the organization is pleased to welcome Leitch aboard. “We are excited to have Dave join us,” MacDonald said. “He has significant local government management experience, and his knowledge of regional governance and engineering expertise will be a tremendous asset to the organization. We look forward to working with him.” Leitch has more than 20 years of local government experience behind him, in the fields of engineering, administration, public works and utilities. A graduate of the British Columbia Institute of Technology (B.C.I.T), he has a diploma in civil engineering with additional certificates in management, local government administration, and water

and waste water management. Leitch has held senior management positions with the Comox Valley Regional District, the Cowichan Valley Regional District and the Regional District of Nanaimo. Leitch said he is looking forward to getting to work in his new position. “Taking on the role of CAO for Strathcona Regional District is a wonderful opportunity for me,” Leitch said. “I enjoy working in a collaborative, team-based environment, and I look forward to working with the board and the senior management team to help realize the regional district’s goals and objectives.” Leitch takes over from former CAO Russ Hotsenpiller who resigned in November after accepting the CAO position with the Islands Trust. Hotsenpiller stayed on, however, until early December but the regional district has been without a permanent CAO since then.

David Leitch will report to work in his new role as CAO of the Strathcona Regional District on March 1.

Regional district to raise taxes Kristen Douglas CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The tax burden will be getting heavier on Campbell Riverites this year. The Strathcona Regional District, which Campbell River property owners pay into, is increasing taxes by 14.4 per cent for Campbell River taxpayers. That’s on top of the 2.45 per cent ($37 for the average home) tax hike that the city has approved for 2016. While the regional district tax increase is not yet final (its budget isn’t expected to be finalized until March), it’s currently sitting at a $31.23 increase for the average assessed home which would equate to $248.66 owing in property taxes for 2016. The regional district has also set estimated 2016 tax rates for the other municipalities and electoral areas within the district. In Gold River, taxes are expected to go up by 44.2 per cent to $23.04 in total property taxes

for the average assessed home while in Sayward, a tax hike of 49.6 per cent to $28.98 is proposed. Tahsis is looking at a 22.0 per cent increase to $13.46 and Zeballos is expected to have an increase of 38.2 per cent to $16.79 in total property taxes for the average home. Meanwhile, for the regional district’s electoral areas, the Kyuquot/ Nootka portion of Area A is expected to see a tax increase of 22.8 per cent to $92.80 in property taxes while the Sayward part of Area A is looking at a 21.7 per cent increase to $485.60 (the area pays for a fire protection service). Area B (Cortes Island) is expected to see a 3.4 per cent tax increase, to $711.38 in taxes for the average home, while Area C (Quadra Island and Discovery Islands) will likely see a 9.5 per cent jump to $373.58 for the average home. And Area D (just south of the city) is expected to have a tax

increase of 10.6 per cent to $1,570.96 in property taxes for the average assessed home. At the regional district’s board meeting on Jan. 28, directors approved several new items to be included in its financial plan for 2016. The board approved $30,000 to replace the organization’s corporate office switchboard phone system which staff describes as “likely to fail in the near future.” Directors also supp or t e d a $ 2 5 , 0 0 0 increase in the 2016 budget for a human resource function, but only on the condition that the regional district’s new chief administrative officer (CAO), David Leitch, prepares a human resource plan for approval. Dawn Christenson, the regional district’s financial services manager, said the rationale behind the position is to take the burden off the CAO and management team which are currently responsible for

any human resources issues. “ Wi t h o u t s t r o n g foundational policies, expertise or guidelines in place, this approach is somewhat uncoordinated, reactionary and potentially inconsistent, giving rise to organizational risk,” Christenson said. The board also committed to spending $14,600 to develop and implement a comprehensive records management system, as well as $10,000 for a speaker queue system and network clocks. The speaker system will allow directors to add themselves to a speaker list during meetings – an easier and more effective way to ensure elected officials all have the opportunity to engage in debate. The digital network clocks will align all the clocks in the regional district’s corporate office with the time that network computers display, to make them more reliable and to help with the timing of functions.

CAOs balk at single membership Kristen Douglas CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The Strathcona Regional District will continue to exclude its municipalities from its membership to a nationwide advocacy group. The regional district’s board of directors made that decision after learning that chief administrative officers from each of the regional district’s municipalities were less than lukewarm to the idea of a joint membership. “ This matter was raised with the CAOs (chief administrative officers) of the various municipalities within the region who expressed little interest in pursuing the initiative,” said Tom Yates, acting CAO for the regional district. “It is therefore recommended that no further resources be expended on this matter.” The board, at its Jan. 28 meeting, agreed and decided to drop the item.

ipalities are independent and approach the group with their own individual issues. Hotsenpiller, however, had assured the board that “moving to a regional model for membership would not affect the ability of municipal councillors or electoral area directors to participate in the affairs of the FCM” nor would it “constrain the ability of municipal councils to independently sponsor resolutions or otherwise identify issues for consideration by the FCM.” Still, at that time, the board voted to defer making a decision on a regional FCM membership until Hotsenpiller had the opportunity to engage the municipal CAOs. Upon learning there was little interest among those managers, the board voted last week to not pursue a regional membership and to remove the matter from the board’s list of outstanding items.

City to iron out conflicts between OCP and zoning bylaws Quinsam Heights development and other ‘minor amendments’ to be considered KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

What to do with Quinsam Heights? That will be one of the main points addressed as the city moves to update its Official Community Plan (OCP). Kevin Brooks, the city’s development services supervisor, said the

city needs guidance on policy that dictates whether Quinsam Heights should stay the same or be a focus for city development. “The focus of this OCP update is a comprehensive review of Quinsam Heights in the context of the current land use designations and zoning conflicts,” Brooks said. The OCP was last updated in 2012 and in some aspects is in conflict with the city’s zoning bylaw which last underwent an update in 2006. Quinsam Heights, the area west of McPhedran Street, south of Evergreen Road and contains the Legacy Heights subdivision, in particular, is one area where the vision set out in the OCP doesn’t jive with the zoning.

The community plan calls for large, single-family homes on estate lots while the zoning bylaw dictates multi-home and multi-family development. Brooks said that’s just one example of what needs fixing. “In addition to these issues, several other minor amendments need to be considered including some revisions to commercial designations, the village nodes and some revisions to the development permit guidelines such as clarification of the exemption criteria,” Brooks said. In December, city council hired Modus Planning, Design and Engagement consultants to carry out the OCP review.

The consultants will be tasked with conducting a housekeeping review of the community plan and updating the city’s zonings to better reflect the goals, objectives and vision in the community plan. City staff have been working with Modus to design a consultation plan that will include seven engagement sessions over the next 18 months. The first two sessions are tentatively booked for the last week of February and the last week of March, respectively. Consultation will include an open house to introduce the public to the project and explain the process, as well as a public open house that focuses solely on Quinsam Heights

and explores whether the area should be rural or urban in nature. In addition to the public and stakeholder engagement sessions, the city is also proposing additional communication strategies that include the use of surveys, a webpage on the city website and Facebook updates. Brooks said city staff are hoping to complete the update to the Official Community Plan in late fall of this year or early January, 2017. The zoning bylaw update is expected to take longer, with consultation completed by June, 2017, and bylaw preparation and legal review done over that same summer, followed by a fall public hearing.

Communities around B.C. are struggling to cope with the continued influx of what politicians call “homelessness,” a term that suggests the problem can be solved merely by providing more homes. Taxpaying citizens see the daily reality behind the soothing euphemisms – mainly transients squatting in parks and “tent cities” blighted by drug abuse and crime, and “homeless” shelters that fill up as soon as they open. They worry that the continued costly supply of supports only invites more arrivals, particularly in the gentle climate of southwestern B.C. Their worries are well founded. In Abbotsford, a 40-bed “temporary weather shelter” made from industrial camp trailers opened in December with a $450,000 operating grant from B.C. Housing. It was full in 10 days. Abbotsford Police Chief Bob Rich told city council in January that his bike officers don’t recognize most of the shelter occupants from their constant patrols of local tent camps, the largest of which has been on a city-owned roadside site since 2013. In Maple Ridge, a “low

barrier harm reduction” shelter was opened last fall in response to a growing tent camp and accompanying drug dealing, prostitution and petty crime. One resident noted bitterly that a mayor’s task force had identified 42 unsheltered homeless people, then found places for 77 from the camp, 40 from a closing “temporary” shelter and 40 in a new shelter. “How exactly does one house 157 out of 42?” she asked. Victoria’s camping population has gathered in an Occupystyle squat on provincial land next to the courthouse, after years of uncontrolled camping in Beacon Hill and other city parks. The city opened a shelter in a vacant Boys and Girls Club gym, complete with new indoor tents. By the time that was full, the courthouse camp was bigger than ever, with some occupants describing how they came to town for the

opportunity. One said Vancouver Police gave her a bus ticket to Victoria. The latest plan by a local agency that runs B.C. Victoria shelters is to convert an old, empty s e n i o r s’ c a r e home into a 101bed permanent housing facility. The city has come up with around $1 million for this project, in a residential area next to a school, but it still needs millions more to renovate and run it. This would presumably come from B.C. taxpayers via our social housing czar, deputy premier Rich Coleman. Coleman pioneered this “housing first” experiment in 2007, buying up 13 centuryold “single-room occupancy” hotels in Vancouver’s notorious Downtown Eastside. These crumbling bedbug habitats were bought and renovated for a staggering $143 million, plus a 15-year maintenance commitment and a cop assigned to

Urban drug ghettos aren’t working VIEWS

It’s hard to say anything about “the right way to celebrate Family Day.” Our newest provincial holiday is just four years old this year, implemented by the province for the first time in 2013 (just in time for a provincial election). It isn’t even our idea. While we in B.C. will celebrate on Feb. 8, Feb. 15 is being celebrated as Family Day in Ontario, Alberta, and Saskatchewan. PEI celebrates Prince Edward Islander Day, Nova Scotia celebrates a Heritage Day and Manitobans mark Louis Riel Day in February. There’s no religious, cultural, or historic purpose attached to the day. It was put in place purely to give We say: The everyone a bit of a break true meaning of during the longish slog no-holidays between Family Day will of New Year’s Eve and Easevolve over time ter. Family Day’s name is an exercise in branding, pure and simple, a voterfriendly name plastered on something. It could have been called Winter’s Almost Over Day or Second Groundhog Day or Lie at Home Eating Waffles and Watching Netflix Day. But, cynical as we may be, it’s not a bad idea to call it Family Day. Christmas and New Year’s are often a mixture of wonderful and stressful. Winter, with its long dark days and frequent torrential rain, can bring people’s moods down. One of the best ways to recharge and re-energize, before spring finally bursts free and we can enjoy a bit of sunshine (or at least warmer rain showers), is to spend time with those who are special to us. So this coming Family Day long weekend, try to make some time a group activity with your loved ones. Go for a walk. Play a board game. You could even host your own version of Waffles & Netflix day, if you make enough for two or three or a dozen people. Don’t worry about narrowly defining who your family is for this Family Day. Husbands and wives, parents and kids, siblings, and good friends. In fact, if we really want to keep the spirit of Family Day in our hearts all year, maybe the government could hold it two or three times annually? How about it, politicians? -Black Press

each one in an effort to contain the chaos inside. Coleman brags endlessly about the great job he has done, but how is that actually working? A new study by Simon Fraser University researchers provides a more objective assessment. Tracking 433 mentally-ill homeless adults over 10 years, the study found the concentration of low-rent accommodation, food handouts, street outreach and medical supports resulted in “significant personal decline rather than recovery, as evidenced by their involvement in the criminal justice system, large increases in acute care and prolonged homelessness.” The rate of people arriving in this service-intensive hellhole has tripled in the last 10 years, a finding similar to studies of concentrated services in New York, Sao Paulo and Osaka. It’s a cautionary tale for other urban communities where this failed containment model is proposed. Tom Fletcher is B.C. legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

NIEFS tailors program for laid-off resource workers

12 || CAMPBELL CAMPBELL RIVER RIVER MIRROR MIRROR || FRIDAY, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY FEBRUARY 5, 2016 2016 12

MIKE DAVIES

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The North Island Employment Foundations Society (NIEFS) is responding to the recent downturn in some resource-based sectors by starting a new employment strategies program for those who have been affected by cuts or layoffs in those sectors.

The “Resource Worker Job Club,” as it’s being called, will be much like other job-search group programming offered by NIEFS, but specifically tailored for those from resource sectors. “It will certainly be similar in some ways to other programs and workshops that we run,” says NIEFS Labour Market Manager Shannon Baikie, “in that it will

www.CampbellRiverMirror.com www.CampbellRiverMirror.com

contain work around career assessments, resumes, cover letters, skill assessment, interview skills and labour market information, that kind of thing, but it will be really customized to that particular group.” T h a t “p a r t i c u l a r group,” are resource workers who have been impacted to the mining layoffs locally, as well as those affected by the

slump in Alberta oil and gas. “Just last week we were up on-site at Quinsam (Coal) to provide information to everyone who’s being impacted by that current layoff and let them know that they can connect with services and what services we offer,” Baikie says, and this group is another way of supporting that cause.

NIEFS has introduced a “Resource Worker Job Club” to help those affected by either the resource sector local layoffs and cuts – like those about to happen at Quinsam Coal (pictured) – or the downturn in Alberta oil and gas.

Director Val Meany says there are particular benefits to a customized job search group like this over going it alone – or even as an individual who is making use of professional services like theirs. “One benefit is that everyone in that room will understand what each other are going through,” Meany says. “It’s a little different than sitting in a room of a whole bunch of different people who can’t relate

to what your situation is because theirs is so much different than yours.” And then there’s the networking that can happen. “Maybe someone will bring to the table an opportunity that maybe isn’t a fit for them, but it’s the perfect fit for somebody else in the group.” The five-week program will begin Feb. 19 and run on Friday mornings – because the employees of Quinsam Coal, “are not working Fridays

right now,” Baikie says – “making it easy for them to connect to services even before they’re laid off, officially.” Pre-registration is required to join the group before the start date, Baikie says, so that they can devote the proper resources to the program, and those interested can contact them at 250-286-3441 to get get signed up with a case manager and start the conversation about how to join the group.

celebrate BC FAMILY DAY! Save for their future. Many parents see higher education as the launching pad to a better career and a better life. In 2013/14 the average annual undergraduate tuition for a full-time student was almost $6000, and tuition is only about one-third of the real cost of education. Add in accommodation, food, transportation, books, computers, lap costs, and general expenses of everyday living, and the cost increases significantly – especially if the school is in a major metropolitan area.

THE TOP THREE RESP TIPS ARE:

1. Make the payments automatic. Set an amount to be

carved off each paycheque to spread out the “ouch” factor. Most companies allow purchases as small as $25/month.

2. Don’t hesitate because your income is low and you can’t

contribute much. Lower income families qualify for higher grants, and in some cases, an additional government bond.

3. If the entire RESP is not used, and you decide to cash it

out or transfer the balance to your RRSP, you must leave behind the grant and growth, so make sure you withdraw it first. Starting as soon as possible, and opening a family Registered Education Savings Plan (even if you are just on child #1) is your first step to helping your child get the post-secondary education they need.

How to raise eco-conscious children.

• make recycling a priority

One of the easiest ways to get even young kids actively involved in protecting the planet is to make recycling a priority at home. You can recycle at home, dropping your bottles, cans and other recycled items off at the local recycling center. Such centers may pay for recycled bottles and cans, and parents can incentivize recycling by giving kids any money the family earns through its recycling efforts.

• ride bikes more often

Another fun way to teach kids to be more eco-friendly is to stop driving everywhere and ride bikes when possible. Short car trips burn substantial amounts of fuel and put a lot of wear and tear on a vehicle over time, making the vehicle operate less efficiently. Rather than taking the car to run weekend errands, hop on your bike and take the kids along on theirs. Explain to them how a fun activity like cycling is also very eco-friendly because it reduces fuel consumption and does not contribute to air pollution. Two For

The great outdoors provides a great opportunity to teach kids about the environment and how to protect it. If you like to garden, come planting season explain to your children that planting native plants benefits the environment because such plants have already adapted to the local climate, meaning they won’t need as much water to thrive as non-native plants. If you enjoy camping as a family, explain the importance of leaving nothing behind at your campsite. Parents can even volunteer their families for weekend park

and beach cleanups, using these outings as opportunities to teach kids about the dangers of littering.

Protecting the planet is a global responsibility that requires the cooperation of every man, woman and child. Many eco-conscious adults likely adapted their lifestyles over the last several decades, when the movement to live in a more eco-friendly way took off as more and more people recognized the importance of protecting the environment. Parents who want to instill that lesson in their children at an early age can do so in various ways.

• use a water filter

Water filters also provide a simple way to teach kids about the value of protecting the planet. According to The Water Project, a nonprofit organization that provides reliable water projects to communities in sub-Saharan Africa, bottles used to package water take more than 1,000 years to biodegrade. Parents can explain to kids that opting for water filters at home can drastically reduce human consumption of water bottles that are destined to end up in landfills, where they will remain for centuries. When traveling, fill up reusable bottles and travel mugs with water rather than buying bottled water during pit stops, explaining to kids how bringing your own water is helping the planet.

Quitting smoking now can pay immediate dividends Few habits are as addictive or harmful as smoking tobacco. As a result, it should come as no surprise that quitting smoking is one of the most common New Year’s resolutions. While lung cancer, emphysema and chronic bronchitis are most often linked to smoking, the Centers

for Disease Control and Prevention warn that smoking has the potential to harm nearly every organ of the body. Smoking can cause many diseases and reduce the overall health of anyone who smokes regularly. Cigarettes contain approximately 600 ingredients. In ad-

dition to nicotine, tobacco smoke may contain acetone, ammonia, arsenic, lead, tar, formaldehyde, and benzene. Many of these ingredients are found elsewhere in solvents, cleaners and adhesives. Carbon monoxide that is produced in cigarette smoke (which is the same harmful gas that is produced

from heating equipment and car exhaust systems) can be deadly and reduce the capacity of cells to carry oxygen. Many of the ingredients in tobacco products are carcinogenic, meaning they have the potential to cause cancer. Smoking is the leading cause of preventable death in Canada, causing more than 400,000 deaths per year. The ingredients in cigarettes can cause DNA mutation, oxidative stress, which contributes to the aging process, chronic inflammation, and a reduction in antioxidants, which help fight various illnesses. Tar and other metals in their tobacco smoke can stick to the walls of the lungs and reduce their function.

Quitting smoking immediately lowers your risk for smoking-related diseases and can add years to your life. Heart rate and blood pressure drop within 20 minutes of quitting. After 12 hours, the carbon monoxide level in your blood returns to normal. Circulation and lung function can improve in a matter of weeks. The CDC says your risk for heart attack drops sharply just one year after quitting smoking. Within two to five years of quitting, risk for stroke falls to roughly the same rate as a nonsmoker’s. Another immediate benefit of quitting is that, once you quit, you are no longer putting others at risk for illness from expo-

sure to secondhand smoke. In addition, the interior of your home and car will smell better, and your hair and clothes will no longer carry the hallmark aroma of cigarette smoke. Studies have indicated that roughly 25 percent of smokers who use medicines can stay smoke-free for more than six months. Counseling and the emotional support of friends and family can improve success rates as well. There’s also early ev-

idence that combining certain medicines may work better than using a single drug. It may take a few attempts and different strategies to find a smoking cessation program that works for you. Consult with your doctor about quitting smoking and discuss each option with your physician before giving it a try.

Caffeine, the most widely consumed stimulant on the planet, has garnered a bad reputation. Some people fear caffeine and it’s potentially jittery and addictive side effects. However, many medical professionals attest that, when consumed in moderation, caffeine actually can have a number of health benefits. Before you skip that morning cup of Joe or choose an herbal blend instead of black tea, consider the following health benefits of caffeine. • Caffeine boosts brain and central nervous system function. Caffeine mimics the shape of another compound in the body called adenosine, which helps the body calm down and become sleepy. Caffeine can fit in adenosine receptors and cause a jolt of energy rather than sleepiness. Harvard researchers have found that blocking adenosine may slow the buildup of a toxic brain plaque that is associated with Alzheimer’s disease. Furthermore, caffeine may help keep dopamine molecules active in the brain and prevent the onset of Parkinson’s disease.

Inflammation can be poor for health when it is a constant occurrence. Autoimmune diseases often trigger inflammatory responses even when there is no threat of infection, and that can cause the immune system to damage its own tissues. The right diet can help reduce instances of inflammation, and the following are some ingredients to consider eating more of to fight symptoms of inflammation.

• Caffeine can help improve mood. The stimulant effect of caffeine may help boost people’s moods, and thus reduce the propensity for suicidal thoughts. In 2013, Harvard’s School of Public Health found that respondents who drank two to three cups of caffeinated coffee a day cut their suicide risk by 45 percent. • Caffeine may lower risk of stroke. Studies conducted in both the United States and Sweden found that older women who drink more than a cup of caffeinated coffee each day have between a 20 and 25 percent lower risk of stroke. Similar findings were discovered in older men. • Caffeine boosts memory. Studies from Johns Hopkins University showed that a 200mg caffeine pill helped boost memory consolidation. • Caffeine offers pain relief. Caffeine

is often paired with other pain relievers to bring about faster relief. When caffeine was combined with other pain relievers, patients required 40 percent less of the other drug to bring the same amount of relief experienced when using just the non-caffeine drug alone. Caffeine on its own can also relieve pain. Consuming caffeine before or after a workout can help reduce muscle soreness. • Caffeine may help to prevent cancer. A recent study from Rutgers University pointed out that caffeine prevented skin cancer in hairless mice. • Caffeine could open up air passages. People with asthma may find caffeine can improve their breathing. Caffeine seems to open airways and help asthmatics breathe easier, providing a similar benefit to theophylline, a current asthma medication.

• Ginger: Researchers found that ginger supplements reduced markers of colon inflammation in a select group of patients. In a study conducted over a period of 28 days, 30 patients were randomly assigned either two grams of ginger root supplements per day or a placebo. After 28 days, patients who had taken the ginger supplements had

significant reductions in inflammation. That’s a considerable finding, as colon inflammation has been linked to a higher risk of colon cancer. • Turmeric: Used primarily for flavoring, turmeric is a spice closely related to ginger and contains polyphenolic compounds known to help in the fight against inflammation. Turmeric can be added to stews and sauces, and some studies have indicated that it can alleviate the pain caused by osteoarthritis, a potentially painful condition that occurs when the joints’ natural shock absorbers break down. • Extra-virgin olive oil: Extra-virgin olive oil is a staple of the Mediterranean diet, an approach to eating that emphasizes fish, fruits, vegetables, beans, and whole grains. The Mediterranean diet can reduce inflammation, and it also has been linked to a lower risk of heart attack and heart disease. It may even help prevent stroke and Alzheimer’s disease. • Vegetables: Men and women who eat lots of different vegetables may be less

likely to develop inflammation. People who eat more than 25 species of plants per week have a greater assortment of bacteria in their stomachs than those who eat fewer than 10 per week. That’s because the greater variety of produce and legumes helps to increase the amount of healthy bacteria lining human stomachs, and that healthy bacteria helps to reduce instances of inflammation. • Omega-3 fatty acids: Omega-3 fatty acids, commonly found in certain types of fish, help suppress cytokines and other inflammatory chemicals. Salmon, herring, sardines, and anchovies are loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, and eating fish twice a week can not only reduce inflammation but also decrease levels of LDL cholesterol, often referred to as “bad” cholesterol. A certain amount of inflammation is a good thing. But men and women who find themselves routinely battling inflammation may want to make certain dietary changes to counter their inflammation problems.

Going full circle with Charlotte Diamond Lindsay Chung CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

amily Literacy Week celebrations in Campbell River ended on a high note, with popular children’s entertainer Charlotte Diamond performing Jan. 30 for a full house at the Tidemark Theatre. Kim Emsley-Leik, managing director of the Tidemark Theatre, was happy to partner with Campbell River Literacy Now to bring Charlotte to Campbell River for this free family concert, which sold out only four hours after the free tickets became available. Kat Eddy from Campbell River Literacy Now had contacted EmsleyLeik saying she was interested in doing a show at the theatre, and they began discussing a partnership, she said. “Mostly, it’s to promote literacy and getting families involved in literacy,” said EmsleyLeik. “It’s fantastic. I love having all the kinds here. One of the strategic priorities of the Tidemark is to get more youth into the venue, so promoting and presenting a show with Campbell River Literacy Now, we’re able to do that. You have to sort of bring in the youth to develop your next audience.” Emsley-Leik says the Tidemark does one free

for kids each year - last year, it was Bobs and Lolo - and if any other organizations would like to partner to present a show, the theatre’s doors “are always open.” Six-year-old Spencer Montgomery and his mother Kristi won the VIP contest through 2Day FM., receiving front-row tickets to the hour-long concert, a meet and greet with Charlotte and dinner at Boston Pizza. Spencer even got to go up on stage and look at everything Diamond had set up for her concert. Spencer had seen Charlotte in concert once before when he was two years old, and he said getting to meet her this time was “good.”

When asked what his favourite song is, Spencer excitedly replied, “all of them.” Kristi listened to Charlotte’s music when she was young and was excited to share this experience with her son. “It’s really neat for it to come full circle; it’s neat that Spencer can listen to her too,” she said. Charlotte, who performed with her son Matthew, has sung in Campbell River four or five times before and was excited to be back. “It’s a very supportive community for the arts and a great theatre,” she said. Charlotte says she has had three generations and even four come to her concerts, with

everyone in the family being able to sing along. “That’s great family bonding,” she said. “And

I always wanted to write songs that were timeless, like ‘Four Hugs A Day,’ ‘Families of Crows’ or ‘Ottie the Otter’ - songs that celebrate nature and celebrate family and being together and being creative together.” Matthew was playing music for adults before transitioning to children’s music and performing with his mother, and he says with a laugh that it’s a lot nicer to place a show where you are loading out at 3 p.m. instead of 3 a.m. “It’s sure a lot of fun,” he said. “I had a wonderful time performing here. It’s an amazing theatre, and the audience was just fantastic. It’s one of the best shows I think I’ve done. I can’t wait to come back.”

Charlotte’s husband Harry met her in 1971 when she was a French teacher. “When she teaches workshops, her main thing is to promote music as a means of education,” he said. “She’s fond of using music to get children interested in the French language. When she was a French teacher, she always had her guitar with her. She has been involved in literacy programs before in Surrey and Richmond, and this group in Campbell River has been so supportive of Charlotte and her music. For the last several years, we’ve been selling Charlotte’s music at a low price so Campbell River Literacy is able to put her music in new baby welcome

baskets. So a lot of the families already know the music. It’s great that we are able to come here with the support of Campbell River Literacy Now and the Tidemark Theatre.” Harry believes there are several reasons why Charlotte’s music has become so timeless. “No. 1, she loves kids, she loves what she’s doing and she has songs that are memorable,” he said. A song like “Octopus (Slippery Fish)” has gone around the world, even to China, and Harry says that was the first song Charlotte wrote for their children when they were in preschool. After she wrote that song, the parents at the preschool

Mike Davies Campbell RiveR miRRoR

Last week the provincial government announced $10 million in one-time funding, “to help bolster training, administrative support and equipment renewals for the 80 Search and Rescue (SAR) groups operating around the province,” and our local team is already considering how they will use whatever portion of that funding they end up getting. They don’t expect to know for possibly a few months how the money will be split up amongst the SAR organizations around the province, but the head of Campbell River SAR (CRSAR), Tim Fairbank, says there are 2,500 total members province-wide, and our local team has 50, so splitting it based on size would equate to about $200,000 for CRSAR. Even if they use some other formula for distributing the money, such as “how busy each

group is,” Fairbank says, “we could still do well, because we are in the top 15 or 20 per cent provincially by that measure.” “Anyway, we are not going to count our chickens before they hatch,” he says, although he also admits he was excited when he heard the announcement and already has ideas for how to spend their unexpected windfall. “We have two projects in mind so far,” Fairbank says. “One is a regional mountain rescue training program, which would take 12 to 20 SAR members from both the North Island and Powell River on a week-long training trip with qualified mountain guides.” The other, he says, is the replacement of Response 2, the truck they use to haul rescue gear to incident scenes. CRSAR bought Response 2, “five or six years ago,” Fairbank says, with the money from an ICBC settlement. It had been a rental van, and had some defi-

ciencies, but the price was right and it fit their needs at the time. Since its purchase, however, their needs have changed, as they have incorporated CDFL (helicopter long-line rescue) operations to their arsenal of services, and the weight of the equipment needed to perform that role is more than the current truck can handle at highway speed. Replacing the truck has been in their plans for some time. “We have already put $20,000 aside for this project, half of which was from one private donor in our community. We were braced for a challenging, three-year fundraising campaign to raise the additional $80,000 or so necessary for this ambitious project, but with the recently announced provincial funding, our lives may be made much easier.” The truck are looking to purchase to replace Response 2 is a one-ton crew cab with a custommade equipment box,

designed specifically for the role it will play, which Fairbank expects will last the organization over 20 years. T h e p r o v i n c e ’s $10-million funding announcement l ast week, according to the government release, is intended to “help meet the 80 ground search and rescue team’s immediate needs while EMBC (Emergency Management BC) continues to work together with BC Search and Rescue Association on a long-term solution.” That “long-term solution,” according to president of BC Search and Rescue Association Chris Kelly, is an “alternate support model,” currently being developed in collaboration with the province. While that model is in development, however, he says, “this money will relieve some of the funding pressures and provide for increased training and other tools for those who tirelessly serve as volunteers.”

of factors imposed by the province, for which the district has received no financial compensation. “I am writing to express our concern with the constant downloading of education costs to our district,” reads the letter. “In the last provincial budget, our board was stripped of more than $295,000 in ‘administrative savings.’ Last month School District 72 was burdened with the $155,000 cost of buying the technology required to access the provincially mandated New Generation Network.” The letter gives other examples of demands imposed on the district without compensation from the government, as well, including, “your government’s recognition of the need to begin to compensate our administrators fairly in view of the provincially

imposed six and a half year wage ‘freeze’ but its failure to fund this increase has resulted in an unanticipated $139,570 in additional costs.” With a structural deficit of between $600,000 and $900,000, the district, “is once again being forced to make hard choices about which services we will have to curtail in order to submit a balanced budget,” according to the board’s letter. And submit a balanced budget they must. “We have to, by law, deliver a balanced budget every year,” said Trustee Richard Franklin after the reading of the letter, expressing his personal frustrations with the government. “This year we’re going to have to find another million dollars – over a million dollars – to balance that budget. “You could say we would be brave to just say no. But the consequence of that is what we saw in the Cowichan School District. When the board says no, the government simply fires

the board, brings in a public administrator, that person just comes in and makes the cuts with no accountability to the local taxpayer,” Franklin said, referencing the firing of the Cowichan Valley School Board’s trustees in July of 2012 after they passed a deficit budget. The Cowichan board was replaced by Surrey School District superintendent Mike MacKay, who then served as the district’s sole trustee until 2014. Franklin continued, expressing what the rest of those around the table clearly felt, as well. “It’s so irresponsible for the government to continue to grant increased costs to school districts but then tell us we have to find it inside the budget we’ve been given. We’re being placed in a very, very difficult position. “We know that the cuts we’re making are going to have an impact on schools, on kids, and the quality of education we can deliver.

Some fraud is organized and orchestrated by a group of individuals, namely, staged accidents and stolen vehicle rings.

icbc 4x7

Other types of fraud are less obvious. Fraud like this includes exaggerating the extent of an injury, misrepresenting a previous medical condition or slanting the situation when reporting a claim. It’s not unheard of for people to embellish their claim by including vehicle damage unrelated to the crash, or to claim they can’t work when they’re actually back on the job. These tactics may not make the news, but the costs add up and come out of all of our pockets – we all end up paying for those who cheat the system.

PROCESS Fraudulent claims take a toll on B.C. drivers

While most B.C. drivers are honest when it comes to making insurance claims, there are a few that are hurting things for the rest of us in the province. Industry studies estimate that about 10 to 20 per cent of all insurance claims contain an element of fraud or exaggeration. Applying those estimates here means fraud is costing us up to $600 million per year, or more than $100 annually on every auto insurance policy. Fraud cheats everyone and comes in all shapes and sizes.

To learn more about auto insurance fraud, go to icbc.com/fraud

ICBC combats fraud with their Special Investigation Unit, which last year looked at more than 5,000 claims les. This includes a cyber unit that employs information publicly available on the internet and social media to investigate suspected fraudulent claims. They’re in the process of increasing their focus on investigations, including training and analytics technology that ags patterns and predictors of fraud. By stepping up efforts to reduce fraudulent and exaggerated claims, along with managing injury claims costs, ICBC is working to take pressure off rising insurance rates. Fraud. It cheats us all.

It’s in Campbell River man’s blood to give blood – 150 times AlistAir tAylor CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

t’s not the reason he does it but each time Richard Miller gives blood, he swears it makes him feel physically better. “I actually feel good doing it,” he says. “It’s kind of like an oil change.” The actual reason he does it is because of the other way it makes him feel better. “I like the idea of it,” he says. “It helps somebody else out. People need blood and it makes you feel good. “I like helping people out. And blood is one way of doing it.” On Dec. 10, Miller reached a milestone in his blood giving. The

67-year-old donated blood for the 150th time in the December blood donor clinic. It was the achievement of a goal he had set for himself. “It’s a bucket list thing,” he says. “I wanted to make sure I did it before I get too old do it.” He said it was a little difficult getting up to the 150 mark. When he first started doing this, you could only give blood four times a year. The 150 was a specific target. He wasn’t just going for as many donations as he could. “I wanted to set that goal,” he says. “Yeah. I’m a numbers guy. I don’t know, for some reason I set goals for myself and I try and achieve those goals.

“It’s just kind of fun. And it’s a good cause.” He made sure he got to last December’s clinic because he wanted to reach his goal before another year came along. Miller first gave blood when he was in his 20s in Vancouver. He was working at Dairyland in Burnaby, B.C. and the company held blood donor clinics in its cafeteria. Miller and his wife had moved to the Lower Mainland from Campbell River not long before. He grew up in the Campbell River area and got married here in 1968. But his wife was from Vancouver and so wanted to move back. His wife passed away

AlistAir tAylor/CAmpbell river mirror

Richard Miller poses in his workshop with one of the classic vehicles he’s restored, a hobby of his.

last year and Miller decided to move back to Campbell River where he has family. He and his wife bought a house in Vancouver in the

early 70s for $22,000. He sold that house last year. You can do the math. Miller still remembers the first time he gave blood. He was walking

down the hallway at Dairyland and heading to his car. The clinic had been set up in the cafeteria and there was a poster on the wall with

a picture of a little girl obviously in need of blood. The poster had her saying something like “Won’t you spare 20 minutes for me?” Miller said he walked out to his car with the picture of the girl and the caption stuck in his head. He got to the car, stopped, sighed and thought, “It is only 20 minutes.” So he went back and began a lifelong service as a blood donor. Miller hadn’t planned to come back to Campbell River, although he and his wife did talk about retiring here. Then when she passed away, he felt it was the right time to do it. To find when the next blood donor clinic is, go to www.blood.ca.

Lyndon’s Legacy lives on Brent and Kristie Cross recently presented the Campbell River Hospital Foundation with a donation of more than $7,500 in memory of Lyndon Cross. Their donation has helped support the purchase of a portable ultrasound for the emergenc y department. Lyndon Cross was a social worker who worked in youth protection services. He fought a short but courageous battle with cancer with strength and determination. He was an extremely dedicated and caring person trying to make a difference in the lives of those in foster care. Lyndon was hospital-

ized a few times during his battle with cancer and his brother, Brent, and Kristie recognized the need for funding to help purchase equipment to help those in need of care. Through the Lyndon’s Legacy Mixed Slo Pitch Tournament held at the Sportsplex, funds have been raised in the past to help purchase a ventilator for the hospital’s intensive care unit and, this year, the ultrasound machine. The ultrasound has become a tool for the emergency physician that gives far more information than most tests available. It is essential in the evaluation and treatment of the patients seen in the emergency

Variety helps local girl hear Campbell River youngster to be featured in this years annual Show of Hearts Telethon on Feb. 13 Lindsay Chung

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

ariety - The Children’s Charity is celebrating the 50th anniversary of its Show of Hearts Telethon this year, and one Campbell River family knows exactly what a big impact the charity can have on a child’s life. This year’s telethon will be broadcast live Feb. 13 and 14 at the Hard Rock Theatre in Coquitlam, and eight-yearold Mackenzy Egan will be one of the children featured leading up to the big event through a Youtube video. Mackenzy and her parents, Melissa Egan and Trevor Dick, have been receiving help from Variety for the past three years, as the charity helps cover the cost of Mackenzy’s expensive hearing aids. Although Mackenzy spent three weeks in the NICU after her birth and later failed to meet developmental milestones, today, she walks and talks with ease and she loves to dance. She was diagnosed with bilateral hearing loss when she was five. “The little hairs in my ears that wave around, they’re bent down,” said Mackenzy, who is in Grade 3 at Pinecrest Elementary School. Because these hairs don’t wave, they don’t pick up sound. Melissa remembers that they went for regular hearing checks every six months and Mackenzy’s hearing was perfectly fine until six months after she started kindergarten. Even at the beginning of that year, her test was fine,

but six months later, she was diagnosed with hearing loss. “It was very unusual in kindergarten, so every time somebody tried to talk, I would ignore them, so I would tell the teacher ‘I think I have hearing loss,’” said Mackenzy. The hearing aids made a huge difference right away. The first time Mackenzy heard the fridge humming after she got her hearing aids, she asked her mom “why is the fridge singing?” “When I put my hearing aids in, I can hear way better,” said Mackenzy. “I can hear Mom and Dad talking from across the house. I can hear people talking when their backs are turned. It’s way better to hear in my class. It helps so much. When I was like five at the beginning of school, a few days after that, I found out my ears stopped working. Whenever someone called it was nap time, I couldn’t hear them.” Mackenzy practised putting her hearing aids in when she was in kindergarten and in Grade 1, and now she can put them in and take them out by herself and can check the batteries. She has a hearing resource teacher who comes once a week and teaches her how to use her aids. Mackenzy and her teachers also use an ultra-red SoundField in class; the teacher speaks into a microphone, and it makes the voices surround sound. “School has gotten way more easier,” said Mackenzy. “I just love my hearing aids so much. I’m the only one in my class who has hearing

aids. There was a teacher who came in who had one hearing aid.” At school, Mackenzy’s desk is at the front of the classroom so she can hear better. Melissa says her daughter advocates for herself very well; if she can’t hear, she positions herself close to the person she needs to hear. “That’s a big thing they were working on this year, getting her to advocate for herself more,” said Melissa. “I’m really good at that,” Mackenzy said proudly. Melissa says Mackenzy is adapting very well. She is doing great in school and has moved up many reading levels just this year, a feat that would not have happened without her aids and the help of Variety. When she isn’t in school, Mackenzy loves to dance and she is in Brownies. Mackenzy’s parents heard about Variety through Melissa’s mom, as Melissa’s parents have always been supporters and have watched the telethon for many years. They would like other families to know that Variety is out there to help and to not be afraid to ask. When they found out Mackenzy needed hearing aids, they had just purchased their first home, recalled Melissa. They had gone to another group but they were shut down for the summer, but her mother had heard of Variety and suggested they approach the charity. “They helped out immensely,” said Melissa. When Mackenzy was five, Variety featured a documentary about her during the Show of Hearts Telethon. This year, she did a Youtube video that will be part of the promotions for the telethon. She has also been on the

Loonie War ‘hostilities’ resume The battle continues! Campbell River Head Injury Support Society (CRHISS) is declaring war against Powel River and Victoria Brain Injury Support Society in our Seventh Annual Loonie Wars. This is a fun way to raise community awareness about traumatic brain injuries (TBI) as well as provide funds to support local TBI survivors. Starting Friday, Feb. 19, every resident of Campbell River is being asked to donate a loonie. The donations will be collected for a week until Feb. 29. The community that collects the most funds per capita will be declared the winner and their local Brain Injury Organization will be awarded the prestigious Loonie War Trophy. Last year Campbell River put forward a grand effort in support and won. Your support is needed again to retain rights to the pretigious trophy. Groups such as City Council, schools, service clubs, businesses, Churches and neighborhoods are encouraged to get involved in the fun by challenging each other to “fight the War” by contributing their loonie(s). The money donated in each municipality stays in each community. Your donation can be made by: putting it into the containers placed in local businesses throughout Campbell River; delivering it directly to our office at 591-9th Ave. or online at www.crhead.ca.

Not this Sunday but next Sunday is Feb. 14 – that’s right – Valentine’s Day. Wine lovers ought to be thinking ahead and picking up a bottle of bubbly, now. Valentine’s Day began as a celebration of one or more early Christian saints named Valentinus. Several martyrdom stories were invented for the various St.Valentines. A popular tale maintained that St. Valentine was imprisoned for conducting weddings for soldiers (…who were forbidden to marry) and for ministering to Christians, who were persecuted under the Roman Empire. Neither Christian nor Pagan but always a blend of strictly white grapes, and always Non-Vintage, the currently available Veuve du Vernay Brut Blanc de Blancs NV (209023) $13.20 from France is a blend of Chardonnay and Ugni Blanc.

The first mass-produced valentines of embossed paper lace were produced and sold in the US shortly after 1847 by Esther Howland. She took her inspiration from an English Valentine she had received from a business associate of her father. Intrigued with the idea of making similar valentines, Howland began her business by importing paper lace and floral decorations from England. But don’t forget to pick up a bottle of sparkling wine!

celebrate BC FAMILY DAY! Did you Know? Two of the keys to living longer may be spending more time with family and remaining socially engaged.

Celebrating Family

Providing caring support so you are able to enjoy staying your home.

Registered Veterans Independence Program Caregiver

According to research and the book, “The How of Happiness,” by Sonja Lyubomirsky, long-lived cultures attribute their longevity to keeping people close. An analysis of three communities of very long-living people in Lyubomirsky’s book - Sardinians in Italy, Okinawans in Japan and Seventh-Day Adventists in Loma Linda, California - revealed that they all had five priorities in common. At the top of that list were “Put family first” and “Keep socially engaged.” Good friendships, deep relationships with family members and social engagement are essential to a long, happy life. This New Year’s Eve, more people may want to resolve to prioritize friends and family more than they already do. Not only can doing so deepen relationships, but it also can keep people healthier by reducing stress and the risk of developing illnesses related to depression and loneliness. Today is a great time to reconnect with members of the family and schedule a long-awaited visit.

Good friendships, deep relationships with family members and social engagement are essential to a long, happy life.

OF GREEN Ray Grigg

erhaps the present mass extinction of species caused by us would be more tolerable if it were unusual. Such an exception would give us excuses and a sense that the changes we need to make will be superficial and easy. The actual fault, we would like to believe, is our economic system, our consumer culture, our sophisticated technology, our exploded population. Unfortunately, history suggests otherwise — that we are serial killers,

and have always been. So the changes we need to make will be much more fundamental and extensive. After Africa, a useful place to begin examining this history, is Australia. Until Homo sapiens arrived there about 45,000 years ago, the continent had been ecologically stable for eons, escaping the ravages of serious climate changes and the cycles of ice ages. It was a continent, described by Yuval Noah Harari in Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, as teeming with biological diversity, including many large animals that weighed more than 200 kilograms.

extinction of megafauna was more than coincidence. Nothing but the arrival of Sapiens explains such a sudden and extensive species loss. Sophisticated hunting strategies together with “fire agriculture” — the burning of huge areas to improve hunting — radically changed vegetation and the viability of species. The circumstantial evidence for Sapiens’ guilt is compounded by being repeated innumerable times wherever the species arrived — within about two centuries of arriving in New Zealand 800 years ago, the Maoris had eliminated most megafauna and 60 per cent of all birds.

The Australian experience was repeated in North America about 16,000 years ago when Sapiens crossed through Siberia and Alaska to a new continent. On their way south to Tierra del Fuego, they met and decimated populations of “mammoths, mastodons, rhinoceroses and reindeer.” Within 2,000 years of their arrival, Sapiens had eliminated “rodents the size of bears, herds of horses and camels, oversized lions and dozens of large species the like of which are completely unknown today, among them fearsome sabretooth cats and giant ground sloths that weighed up to eight tons

and reached a height of six metres.” Such slaughter was repeated routinely elsewhere; on Madagascar, throughout Indonesia and the islands of the Pacific, Mediterranean and Caribbean. And this was just the so-called First Wave of extinctions. The following Second Wave was caused by the Agriculture Revolution. The Third Wave, now unfolding, is predicted to render about a third of all remaining animals and plants extinct by 2100. The designation of serial killers seems to be a harsh judgment to place on ourselves. But the evidence is incriminating.

Riptide U15 boys must win final league game BODO VON SCHILLING SPECIAL TO THE MIRROR

We need your support. Come out and cheer on our Upper Island Riptide U15 Boys at their final game of the season. Kickoff time is 2 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 7 at the new Campbell River Robron Turf Field. Heading into the final game of league play, we are tied in points for first place in our Vancouver Island Premier League pool of seven teams. A win on Sunday is a must to achieve league winner status. We are hoping that the Victoria team with whom we are tied does not perform as well. A tie or a loss for the Victoria team matched with a win for our team clinches first place for our Riptide team. Not only does league winner earn us bragging rights, but we also get home field advantage and a bye in the first round of up-coming Cup play. This weekend, we play against our cousins from Nanaimo from the Upper Island Storm franchise. The Storm has improved significantly over the season and the competition level is expected to be sharp. In February, all Riptide teams are involved in A Cup play-downs, trying to win the Vancouver Island berth to the Provincial A Cup tournament in July. Cup play is based on single-game elimination. One loss and the team is out of the competition. The Riptide program plays Tier 2 youth soccer, the highest level of competitive soccer available north of Victoria. It is not practical for Upper Island players to commute to Victoria to

play on the Tier 1 team and as a result, our team has many highly skilled and committed athletes. Our team is made up of nine players from Campbell River, four from the Comox Valley and three from Powell River. We train up to three times per week, with a game on most weekends. The players are tremendously committed, particularly the Powell River players who must travel the ferry on a regular basis. We have to arrange special training sessions to get the whole team together. Our team has very supportive parents who drive the kids up and down the Island to training and games. The public might think of youth soccer as a polite sport in which parents engage their kids for social time and fitness and for most of youth soccer, this characterization might not be far from the truth. The Riptide program delivers high-calibre competitive soccer. Come out and see for yourself that our elite athletes are anything but polite. The play is intense and the level of competition and skill is very high. On Wednesday night, our Riptide technical director Shel Brodsgaard trained the team and he declared them to be mentally and physically fit coming into our last league game and Cup playoffs. Attitude and momentum are critical to any sport and in soccer, this might be even more important given the dynamic nature of the game and the fact that soccer requires 11 players to orchestrate together to get one small ball into the opposition net.

We would like to thank our Riptide major sponsor, Marine Harvest, for their support this season. For example, the Marine Harvest sponsorship helps pay for a specialized goalkeeper coach who trains with just the keepers once a week. Our team keeper is a Campbell River player Alec Weinstein who has been a big reason for our team success this season. His improvement in the Riptide program has been remarkable.

The Upper Island Riptide U15 Boys are playing their final league game Feb. 7 at the Robron Turf Field and are currently tied for first place in their seven-team Vancouver Island Premier League pool.

creating various patterns and use the working flies for fishing in the Campbell River area.

There are new people moving to Vancouver Island and in particular, Campbell River because of retirement or job transfer and many are first timers when it comes to fly-fishing.

Last Sunday, I held a beginners introduction to basic fly tying at Tyee Marine in Courtenay and in attendance were Ben and Jessica Labbe from Comox and Ed Cargill from Campbell River. Shawn Brown set up the table and Tyee Marine donated extra tying vises for the tying demonstration and the group went away with an assortment of working flies for trout that can be used locally and pink salmon flies that can be fished when the run starts this summer.

Those who come from the prairies may be exposed to the fly rod for the first time. On my first canoe ride fishing with Bill Thompson, we went out on a lake and I had only one fly and a heavy spinning rod used for fishing salmon in the river. We decided to troll the shoreline and I spotted trout surfacing near the bank. The heavy yellow line acted like a floating line so I decided to tie about four feet of leader to the line and drag the minnow imitation fly and hope for the best. A few minutes later the heavy salmon trout rod went bang bang and the trout was on and I was hooked on this first attempt of unconventional fly-fishing if I can call it that. Since that time I have changed my fishing technique by about 90 per

Jessica Labbe with pheasant cape at Tyee Marine in Courtney. cent and fish mainly with a fly rod. My first feeble attempt at tying a fly came when my pillow case seam opened and I started picking out a few black and white feathers and – bonus – there was grizzly hackle. My first vise was a wooden clothespin and I could clamp down the hook with an elastic band but it worked only a little. This was the start of fly tying for me and I enjoy

My next session will be in Campbell River in two weeks and I will contact the people who have expressed interest in attending. I met with Al Dampier from Courtenay who has come up with Lure Charge lures and I will be field testing the lures with professional fishing guides who will supply me with a report on how it fishes.
