vulnerable get around following a snowstorm. “When we plough our streets, we plough them to the side so we heap the snow on top of the sidewalk to make it even harder,” Samson said. “The snow freezes, the snow turns to slush and it makes it hard for people to push strollers, it makes it hard for people with disabilities, with wheelchairs, and people can’t get around without having to go onto the road and dodge traffic.” Boehm agrees. “If people are to be encouraged to move here after retirement, the policy toward snow clearance needs to be changed,” he said. The city’s current snow removal bylaw requires commercial, industrial, multi-family residential and institutional premises to clear snow and ice from the sidewalk surrounding their building by 10 a.m. the morning after a snowfall. Single family residential homes, however, are not required by law to clear snow from the sidewalk, but are encouraged to do so.

New truck tested AlistAir tAylor
CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Campbell Riverites got a look at their new, $994,000 fire truck going through its paces Wednesday morning. “What you’re witnessing here right now is what’s called acceptance testing,” Chief Ian Baikie said at Ken Forde Park where the new truck was being tested mere hours after delivery. Acceptance testing is done to make sure the firefighting apparatus does what is expected before a cheque is handed over and the sale is completed. Baikie said the truck is a slightly new apparatus that displaces the 1993 aerial ladder truck which formed the departments’ main piece of equipment. It will be retained. The new truck will handle six storey buildings like the Berwick retirement home and the new hospital, under campbellrivermirror.com construction.

City council has narrowly defeated a proposal to extend the deadline for waste companies to remove graffiti from their dumpsters. At its Tuesday meeting, council, in a 4-3 vote, rejected giving waste disposal companies 15 days instead of 12 to clean up graffiti on garbage bins typically located behind local businesses. Steve Hocking, operations for Progressive Waste Solutions, suggested council extend the 12-day time frame proposed by city staff to three weeks, saying that graffiti removal is “a time-consuming process based on excess labour and increased expense.” But Coun. Ron Kerr noted the city only gives businesses seven days to remove any graffiti that appears on their buildings and said he didn’t know why council was giving special treatment to the waste companies. “Why would we be giving this extended period?” Kerr questioned. “I would think most pick up cycles would be sufficient time for them to do touch ups
on any tagging, it’s a very simple clean up. I don’t think it would be a hardship.” The majority of council agreed with Kerr and voted down the extension. Council did, however, approve third reading of the 12-day deadline. Under the new rules, if companies do not remove graffiti within that timeframe, the city may impose a $250 fine on the company that owns the dumpster. The crackdown is to try and curtail the amount of graffiti popping up around the community. “There is an onus on the owner or business to do a timely removal as it has proven to be the most successful deterrent to tagging,” Mayor Andy Adams said. Kerr said over the past weekend, he did his own investigating and drove around the entire city counting dumpsters to see how bad the problem really is. “I counted 162 of them and then I broke them down to whether they were clean, whether they had tags, whether they were rusty, ugly,” Kerr said. “Forty-four of them, 28 per cent had
“As opposed to three or four years ago, I think just the state of the whole town, in terms of tagging, is much improved,” Kerr said. “It seems our bylaws have really cleaned things up.” Adams agreed that the RCMP and the city’s bylaw enforcement officers are doing an “excelKristen Douglas/Campbell river mirror City council narrowly defeated a proposal lent job” at identifying to extend the deadline for owners of waste the taggers and tracking receptables, such as these ones in Willow them down.

Snowmaking being phased in at Mount Washington LINDSAY CHUNG CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
This winter, Mount Washington Alpine Resort has been testing two different types of snow guns, taking the first steps in a multiphase plan to bring snowmaking to the resort. For this season, Mount Washington has two snow guns on site in the beginner area (Easy Acres): an SMI super pole cat and a Techno
Alpin TA 40 fan gun. These snowmaking machines break water into smaller particles, cool the water by causing these small particles to move through cold air, nucleate the water particles and distribute the resulting snow on a surface. Mount Washington first tested snowmaking on Jan. 3, and Don Sharpe, the director of business operations and marketing, says they prefer the SMI super pole
cat so far. “It was very exciting the two times we have made snow,” said Sharpe. “It’s been fun to watch it happening. The first day we ran it for 15 hours and it created a pile of snow four feet deep, 50 feet wide by 50 feet wide.” “So it works,” he said with a laugh. These snow guns can run during the day and people can ski through them - Sharpe says it’s like skiing in a snow-
storm. Snowmaking is a key initiative introduced by Mount Washington Alpine Resort’s new owners, Pacific Group Resorts Inc. from Park City, Utah. “With our new owners, they come from the resorts in the States, where they have three other locations that are ver y dependent on snowmaking,” said Sharpe. “So part of the whole thing is it gives you the ability to ensure

an opening date and it also allows you to fill holes or gaps that you might have throughout the course of the season. That definitely helps to make sure you have confidence for your staff and your customers.” At Mount Washington, snowmaking will be phased in over a number of years. They will start with the beginner area (Easy Acres) and move to the night ski area in Phase 2. Sharpe says they plan to cover “a significant amount of terrain” in the next five to six years. In doing this, he notes they will create additional jobs in both the initial construction phase and also annual operation and maintenance. Snowmaking will help to ensure a consistent annual opening date, will ensure coverage on many high-traffic areas, will supplement natural snowfall as required and can be used to improve
snow conditions during icy or “freeze/thaw” conditions, says Sharpe. “Snowma king has become a critical aspect of mountain resort operations worldwide, highly appreciated – and even expected – by beginners and professionals alike,” he said. Sharpe says the ideal temperature and conditions for snowmaking are between -5C and -10C, with low humidity. In perfect conditions and with a built-out system, Sharpe says they would need 200,000 gallons of water to make one foot of snow over one acre of terrain. To put that into perspective, the beginner area at Mount Washington is five acres. Water is stored on site, and Sharpe says they have a number of permitted areas across the mountain that they may use in the future. Cur rent ly, Mount Washington is storing five million gallons of
water that can be used for snowmaking in its reservoir. “For this year, we’ve used stored water from our reser voir,” said Sharpe. “We have one reservoir, it’s close to the Sunrise chair, and that’s where the water will come from for the snowmaking. As we expand, we’ll expand our reservoirs as well.” There are no chemicals added to the water and the water used for snowmaking is not consumed “We are repurposing the water to make snow and the same water will melt off and become normal spring melt,” said Sharpe. “It is ultimately re-released slowly later in the year, which benefits spring and summer flows downstream from our property.” Sharpe is looking forward to moving forward with the snowmaking. “It’s going to be very cool,” he said. “Seeing it work has been very positive.”

Taxi company says city treats drivers like criminals Kristen Douglas CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Taxi drivers are being “treated like criminals” and it’s forcing one taxi company to hire inadequate employees, according to the president of Bee-Line Taxi. Ray Lustig told city council that his taxi company, Bee-Line Taxi, has had difficulty hiring drivers because of the process they have to endure in securing a chauffeur’s permit from the city. “We are forced to hire whoever comes along, because so few are willing to endure the expense and indignity of being treated like suspects in a criminal investigation, in order to drive a cab in the only city on Vancouver Island that enforces such draconian policy,” Lustig told city council at its Tuesday night meeting.
The city charges $42.80 for the chauffeur’s permit and Police Information Check. If, during the Police Information Check, an applicant’s gender and date of birth match with a pardoned sex offender, then the applicant must pay $25 for fingerprinting. Lustig, however, said he has had drivers who have to pay for fingerprinting each year when they renew their chauffeur’s permit. He said in Courtenay, the process is a lot less onerous. “All you need to drive a cab in the Comox Valley is a class four licence and driver’s abstract,” Lustig said. “They do their own i n - hou s e c r i m i n a l record checks, and unless you’re going to tell me that Campbell River drivers and owners are what, less trustworthy, more likely
to be degenerate or third class citizens who should be forced to be finger-printed and unlike criminals, on an annual basis at their own expense? – unless you are going to allege any of those defamations to be the case, how can you justify denying us the same freedom to go about business in the same manner as our neighbours?” Carrie Jacobs, the city’s RCMP municipal manager, said the city is following the RCMP detachment’s policy and that the City of Courtenay does not have a bylaw in place dealing with chauffeur’s permits. Jacobs added that she consulted 20 other municipalities across B.C. and found that most, including Nan ai mo, Nor t h Cowichan and Port Alberni follow the same practise as

har mf u l rest raints have been hindering the smooth operation of our business and endangering the public by denying them the best possible drivers,” Lustig said. “It’s been so difficult to hire over the last few years, we’re really scraping the bottom of the barrel.” And, Lustig said, changes that are now being proposed by city staff to the chauffeur permit requirements will only make things worse. Those changes involve charging a fee for the required Police Information Check each time a permit is renewed. She said the rationale behind charging
for the Police Information Check is to pay for the staff time (roughly one hour) required to process the 54 applications the police services department receives on average each year. C u r r e n t l y, d r i v ers must renew their chauffeur permits once a year – prior to Dec. 31. Jacobs said staff are proposing that council extend that by one year and change the expiration date to two years from the date of issue. But Lustig said all of those changes won’t do anything to remedy the situation and instead likely make things worse. “This doesn’t do anything for the public at large,” he said.
Coun. Ron Kerr questioned whether the city is perhaps being “a lot tougher” than other communities further south and Mayor Andy Adams said he wanted to be “better than average.” Adams added that he didn’t have enough information to make a decision on whether or not council should move ahead with the licensing changes. “I don’t have that level of comfort to say we’re better or worse than other communities,” Adams said. Council in the end asked city staff to come back with another report showing how communities of comparable size deal with their chauffeur permits.

C ampb ell River – charging for a Police Information Check on the initial chauffeur permit application – but, unlike Campbell River, charge for the check again upon renewal of that permit. Jacobs also clarified that fingerprinting is not required for all drivers. “Only if you get that match in the system, your name, your birthdate and gender (to a pardoned sex offender)” do you have to be fingerprinted. “If you are a match, unfortunately, you’re a match for life,” Jacobs said. But Lustig said drivers are still being scared off by the city’s process. “Unnecessar y and

A better way to teach our kids
Over the past few months, I’ve had the pleasure – as the education reporter here at the Mirror – of speaking to more than a few teachers in our school system. In this edition of Mike’s Musings, I just wanted to take a moment to say that I love seeing the passion these people have for what they do and how they are passing that passion onto our society’s kids. What I keep finding myself thinking, when I listen to these teachers speak, is some variation of, “I wish I would have had a teacher like you,” and that makes me sad in one way and overjoyed in another. Now, I’m not going to say I didn’t have any good teachers when I was growing up. They did what they were supposed to do, after all – at least I think I turned out pretty well after all was said and done. It’s just that what they were supposed to do wasn’t what teachers are expected to do these days, I don’t think. When I was in school (pri-

The 2016 Speech from the Throne contains several items that give hope for the future. There is a focus on agriculture and protecting local food supplies, attention to climate change and First Nations issues, and pledges to do something about the soaring price of housing that could lock a generation out of home ownership. Near the beginning of the document, there is a section that would have seemed bizarre just a few short years ago. British Columbians are warned about the economic trap that has enveloped Alberta. “Over the decades, Alberta lost its focus,” We say: We said the Lieutenant-Govshould be wary ernor Judith Guichon, of falling into speaking for Premier Christy Clark’s Liberal Alberta’s trap gove r n me nt . “ T he y expected their resource boom never to end, failed to diversify their economy and lost control of government spending.” For decades, and particularly during the 1990s when the NDP were in power in B.C., it was popular to emphasize how much B.C. could learn from Alberta. It seemed British Columbia was somehow to blame for not sitting atop a giant lake of oil during a time of rising fossil fuel prices. Now, unfortunately for Albertans, the bust that follows all booms has arrived. And it turns out that rather than wisely investing, successive Conservative governments squandered the oil-generated wealth on government spending and low taxes. We shouldn’t be too quick to point fingers. B.C. has a more diversified economy, but we still depend on many natural resources that are subject to the rising and falling tides of the world economy. And our own government is still going forward with plans for liquefied natural gas – albeit more slowly. It’s good that we’re wary of falling into Alberta’s trap. But hopefully our government will learn the larger lesson – that there is no economy so successful that it can’t be dealt a blow by factors entirely outside the control of any premier or legislature. -Black Press

cities of every U.S. state and Canadian province, but are instead being directed in finding their own passions. People like Carihi psychology teacher Susanna Blakemore are reacting to the changing way kids interact with their world, adapting her teaching style to reflect those new realities. Instead of telling them to turn off their phones, she’s integrating those devices into their learning. People like Timberline’s Steve Joyce are literally taking teenagers into the woods and helping them actually explore the physical world – instead of reading about that world in a book. In any case, what I’m saying is this: all over the district – and I would assume in other districts, as well – teachers are becoming “learning facilitators” instead of “information distributors.” And that’s a great thing. Thanks, teachers. I look forward to seeing how these kids turn out.

New blog gives teachers and students a platform to explore ‘What We Learned in School This Week’ MIKE DAVIES CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
S
chool District 72 (SD72) has launched a new online initiative – a blog that gives teachers and students within the district the opportunity to share “What We Learned in School This Week.” “We are a district committed to adapting to our students’ learning interests and needs by designing and supporting educational opportunities that lead to individualized student success and instil a joy of learning,” reads the introduction to the blog. The goal of the blog is to bring the wider community into the district’s celebration of the learning that is happening for our students every day, through personal stories from those facilitating that learning, or participating in it. For example, there is the story from an elementary teacher at Pinecrest speaking about their schools’ “Kindergarten Helpers” program where Grade 4 and 5
students volunteer to help out with kindergarten classes at outside break periods, lead them in games and activities, take them to the washroom and be in-school mentors. The program, the teacher writes, “is teaching the older children to be helpful and helping them to understand the feelings and needs of younger children,” and the kindergarten students, “enjoy having the older students to play with and guide them,” as well as, “learn to trust that bigger kids are helpful, kind and caring, not just scary because they are so much bigger than them. “This program also helps to reassure the parents of the new kindergarten students that the needs of their young children are addressed with these extra helpers there to assist them,” the teacher writes. Another story, shared by Ocean Grove kindergarten teacher Laura Sewid, introduces the community to her classroom’s “Word Collecting Centre,” where children are
developing their writing skills by copying words from around the room. “Observing this centre over the last few years I have noticed there seems to be a developmental continuum for the words they collect,” Sewid writes. “First, they copy friends’ names. Next, they begin to copy words from our daily schedule and then they begin to wander the room looking for new words from charts, books, etc. “This centre gives them a feeling of success as a writer. It gives them a meaningful reason to practice printing letters. Children happily visit this centre day after day.” You can get to the blog by going to the school district’s homepage at sd72.bc.ca and looking under “Quick Links.” If you’re a teacher interested in submitting to the blog, follow the link under “Want to Submit?” to get to the district’s employee portal, where you will find more information on how to share your learning story.
Parents invited to Internet/social media sessions
I
t is not uncommon for our kids to know more about the workings of the Internet and social media than their parents do, but School District 72 wants to help change that with a pair of information sessions designed to enhance digital literacy. Darren Laur of Personal Protection Systems will present to parents and guardians of school-
aged children in the district on March 7 and March 8 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Timberline Secondary Theatre, examining the digital world and its threats a little more closely. Lazur is a law enforcement professional with 29 years of policing experience who is deeply immersed in social media, both on and off the job. He has taught digital safety for the past 12 years
as an internationally recognized safety expert and award-winning author. The sessions will include such topics as smartphone and webcam safety, how to secure your social network, what our kids are doing online, the dangers of screen names and profiles, who the internet predator is, what their tricks are and much more. Pre-registration is not required.

Members of the Tyee Club search for waste on the bottom of the Campbell River Estuary last weekend.
Sailboat found on estuary floor The Tyee Club of B.C., with help from a grant from the Pacific Salmon Foundation, was busy last weekend with divers and volunteers cleaning up a portion of the Campbell River Estuary. In total, 90 tires, 120 bottles, and a wide variety of other items including prawn traps, crab traps, shoes, cell phone, wire cable, plastic, and even a 40’ sailboat were found. The club says it will

take some thought, hard work and co-operation to rid the estuary of this boat. This is the third year
the club has done the clean up and have only “scratched the surface.” The club is hoping that with further support
from the Pacific Salmon Foundation and perhaps other organizations it can continue this into the future.

what their own members can provide out of their own pockets. So they’ve started making fundraising plans. “Our goal,” says group fundraising spokesperson Diane Palmer, “is for housing our friends and family on the street to become a reality in the future. However, in the meantime, we will soon be serving outside again and currently all meals and ingredients are provided through t he k i nd ne ss of volunteers as we have no other financial support at this time.” So they’ve had shirts and car decals printed up with their logo that they are selling and they’ve been gathering items for an upcoming garage sale March 6 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Thunderbird Hall. The f irst maj or fundraiser, however, is the screening of an important social ju st i c e d o c u m e n tary March 1 – also at Thunderbird Hall – along with a dinner and silent auction. Us & Them, filmed over a 10-year period in Victoria, documents the friendships that develop between film-

maker Krista Loughton and four homeless people she’s trying to help – but who end up helping her – and Palmer
(2003), seen by some as being one of the best Canadian documentaries of all time. “We hope that it will show
hopes the screening will do more than simply entertain. “Loughton has expressed that her hop e i n c re at i ng this film is for us to explore how we as individuals can help to create a better world as well as learning about ourselves in the process,” Palmer says, adding that the film has had three sold-out screenings in Victoria recently and received great acclaim from audiences. It was co-directed by Jennifer Abbot, who also co-directed The Corporation
to t h e viewer the human side of homelessness,” Palmer says. “Our hope is that people will understand that more needs to be done and that they will want to support our venture in doing that.” Loughton herself will be on hand at the screening to introduce the film and do a Q&A afterwards, along with Karen Montgrand, one of the participants in the film. Tickets for the film s cre ening, dinner and silent auction on March 1 can be purchased at Wish Want Wear Clothing or

They are $18 in advance (before Feb. 26) or $20 at the door on March 1 for both the dinner (salmon, traditional fried bread, Indian tacos and salad) and film screening. “Film only” tickets are available for $10. They are also hoping for members of the community to come forward with items for the silent auction and grocery store gift cards to help the night be the best it can be. Palmer says because the group has no paid staff and no permanent location they have to pay for, the funds they will be raising from the film screening event, as well as shirt and decal sales and whatever they make from the upcoming garage sale, all go directly to supporting those on the streets, so people contributing to their cause can be confident that their help is being put where it is needed.

Defenceman Wyatt Dumont (right) starts the break out from the Pee Wee A Tyees’ end during Saturday’s playoff game against Oceanside which they lost 7-6 but advance on the strength of three wins out of four in the playoff round robin.
PeeWee A Tyees advance to the next round of playoffs The #1 Autobody PeeWee A Tyees had a successful start to the first round of the Tier 2 Vancouver Island Playoffs, winning 3 out of 4 of their round robin games. Their f irst game against the Nanaimo Clippers took place at home on January 23rd. The first period of the game was a slow one for the Tyees but they managed to put one goal in the net before the buzzer. The Tyees would score twice in the second as well as third periods without Nanaimo being
able to answer back the entire game and the final score would be 5-0. Centreman Parker Bell would get 4 points in the game and goalie Marcus Shankar would record the shutout. The second game in the round robin would result in another shutout against the Comox Valley Chiefs in their barn on January 30th. Again, only one goal was scored in the first period but the Tyees really poured it on in the second with 5 more goals being scored. One more would be put
in the Chiefs net in the third period and the final score would be 7-0 with goalie Josh Doherty getting the shutout. Bell and winger Markus Cross each recorded 3 points in the game. The Tyees would find themselves travelling to Powell River for the third game of the round robin on Jan. 31. The first period was a tight one which would end with the score being 3-2 for the Tyees. However, the Tyees would put the puck between the posts three more times in the
second period while the Kings could only manage one goal. The Tyees would score two more in the third and the final score would be 8-3 for the Campbell River squad. Winger Jacob Thomas would get the hatrick in the game and defenceman Ashton Birchard would record 4 points in a solid effort. Goalie Shankar would get the win. All of the Tyees played extremely hard throughout the game and this was an all around team effort. The final game of the
round robin took place this past Saturday at home with the Tyees facing a very strong Oceanside Generals team. Both teams were 3-0 in the playoffs and fighting for first place in the North Island. The Tyees came out strong in the first period but both teams were only able to bury a goal each. The Tyees would score three more in the second with the Generals only answering with two. The third period started with a 4-3 score in favor of the Cont. page 21

Kyle Barnes of the Northwest Shito-Kai Karate (NWSK) School became a Canadian National Champion on Jan. 31. Barnes earned himself a Gold and Bronze medal at the 2016 National Karate Championships in Richmond. Barnes, 12, was one of two members of the NWSK school who earned a spot on this 2016 BC Karate team. He competed in the youth elite division, which consisted of boys aged 12 and 13. In the Kata (forms event), Barnes definitely put on the top performance of his young career and was able to make his way to the

His semi-final match was against Quebec where he was able to secure a 6-1 victory and move into finals where his opponent was his teammate from B.C. In the final, Barnes was able come out on top with a 6-3 victory crowning him Canadian Champion. This was Barnes’ first showing at the nationals and he is now hoping to join team Canada and

A 25-pound winter spring has been caught in the area and the regular fishing spots are the Lighthouse, Willow Point and the Hump. On Tuesday morning, there was some fog in the area and as many as 10 boats were out.
For those that have registered for my free beginners fly tying session, we will be at Tyee Marine in Campbell River this Saturday from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. Ben Labbe with his daughter Jessica took part in my first session in Courtenay and sent an email stating that he and his daughter had a great afternoon learning how to tie flies and said my approach to showing us the basics made it easy to understand as we are just getting into this, can’t wait to get out and catch fish with the flies.
To the south, Denman Island has seen fair fishing during the winter months and fish up to 18 pounds have been netted. Those fishing Tent Island during the winter have caught nice fish and it can only get better. Local rivers are running high and are muddy after the heavy rain but the rivers will clear within days if the rain stops. There are a select few that will chase steelhead and the locals who fish their spots year after year will get out over the next few months. Egg patterns are popular and pink rubber worms seem to work well if the fish are around. On the fly, popular colours are orange red and black marabou and try using the ever

Peewee B Tyees on a roll in playoffs
AlistAir tAylor/CAmpbell river mirror
A Tyees forward is thwarted by a Alberni Valley Bulldogs defender during Saturday’s Peewee B clash at Brind’Amour Arena.
The Peewee B Tyees playoff season has been a huge success so far. Coming off a thrashing of the Cowichan Capitals down in the Valley in their first playoff game, the Tyees took to home ice and continued their domination with a convincing 5-1 victory over Nanaimo. The final weekend of the North Island playoffs featured a pair of tough matches against tradi-
tional foes from Port Alberni and Tri-Port. The pretenders to the Salmon Capital of the World throne travelled to the real capital on Saturday and our Tyees defended the title ably with a 5-4 victory. The game started out great with the Tyees up 5-1 and seemingly cruising to victory. Port Alberni showed spirit though, and roared back to almost tie the game.
Spring Registration
Campbell River then took a perfect playoff record into the final playoff game against Tri-Port. First place in the North Island zone was up for grabs and the Tyees’ run of success was felled as much by illness and injury as their heated rivals from up north. The Tri-Port loss means the Tyees finish second in the north and will travel to play the first place team in the south

Riptide U15 Girls declared league champs
For the second year in a row, the 2001 Riptide Girls team has earned top spot in VIPL A-Cup soccer. Wrapping up the final game of regular season play on Saturday in Courtenay, the Marine Harvest Riptide U15 Girls officially became league champs amongst the five Vancouver Island teams in their age group. Riptide made their mark in this year’s 16-game season with an exceptional record of 13 wins, two ties, nine clean sheets, and a goal differential of 25. The second place team was five wins and 13 points behind. But that doesn’t mean Riptide had it easy. In fact, many games throughout the season could have gone either way. Almost undefeated, Riptide’s first and only loss of the season came in the final game to UI Storm who showed up at the final matchup to make a statement heading into playdowns. After another tight matchup, this time Storm claimed victory with a 2-1 win over Riptide, earning Storm second place in the final standings. Earning a bye in the first round, now Riptide has a two week break from games to prepare for the VIPL A-Cup Playdowns in which the team will have home turf advantage. After a series of single knock out games, the winner will represent the Island berth in the Provincial Championships in Burnaby in July.

U16 Riptide boys win last game of season The U16 Upper Island Riptide Boys soccer team played one of their main rivals on Sunday, Feb. 7, the Saanich Fusion/ Prospect Lake team. This away- game was the last match of the regular season for the Riptide. Previous games involving these two teams were close. And the VIPL standings on Sunday going into the game illustrated this fact too.

Saanich sat in second place and the Riptide in third. The team seemed to lack energy early and were unusually quiet. These deficiencies led to delays in attacking Saanich on the first touch. With about five minutes left in the firsthalf Saanich scored a goal leading to a half time with that team up by one. The Riptide started communicating more actively to start the second half and moved the ball much better in both ends of the field.

These adjustments made a big difference. About 10 minutes into the half Darren Hall worked hard to get the ball to an open Dawson Kipp who made a really nice pass to Charlie Purcell in front of the net. Purcell fought to get his foot on the ball and was able to trickle it by the Saanich goalie. The Riptide players pushed the pace of the game through the middle of the second half creating a number of scoring chances. Saanich had a couple of corner kicks that could have

led to a goal(s) but the Riptide’s always on-point defence and goalie, Gary Thiara, were able to prevent any scoring. At approximately the 25-minute mark, Port Hardy’s Jaylon Grenier was able to notch a second goal for the Riptide. A feisty Jack Crosby and a perfectly positioned Ethan Wong assisted this key goal. With no make-up games needed for the Riptide they now have a two-week break to prepare for the VIPL A-Cup play downs.

n a rainy West Coast winter day, walking into The Lite Shop offers a bright escape from the dreary scene outside. You open the door and your eyes can’t help but be drawn to the crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. And then there are the walls filled with a wide variety of lighting fixtures – for indoors and outdoors – and the displays of table lamps around the store. All these lights give the store a warm and inviting feel, and that’s one of the many reasons manager Rhea Parker has enjoyed working here for the past nine years. Randy and Heather Beaulieu opened The Lite Shop in downtown Campbell River in 2007. The store moved to its present location at 582 South Dogwood St. four years ago, and last January, the Beaulieus sold the store to Will and Daisy Qin. Parker has been with the shop since the very beginning. When Parker first started looking at The Lite Shop, she actually had no idea about lighting at all. “I was taking the business program at North Island College, and a

fellow that my husband worked with at Windsor knew Mike and Janice from Sears and Kennys Lighting, and they were looking for somebody to fill in for one of their employees, so he called me up and said ‘do you want to do this?’ I said ‘OK, I’ll try that.’ That was 10 years ago,” she said. “They closed the store down and Randy and Heather approached me when I was working at Sears and asked if I would be interested in starting another store. It was very nice for sure [to be there at the very beginning.] It means
quite a bit more to you when you get it going from the ground up.” Parker says it is the customers who have kept her loving her job. “I like helping people design their homes and figure out their little lighting problems,” she said. “There’s always something new and interesting to do. You meet all types of people in here – people building houses, renovating houses, little old ladies with lamps that they can’t figure out how to change a lightbulb. Right now, we just had the fellow from the
14-house development on Alder come in and do a house order.” Parker likes having a part in people’s houses and helping them decide what kind of lighting to use. “It’s interesting,” she said. “You see some really great house designs and some really great designs.” Parker, who is one of two employees at the store along with Mark Savesen, says that over the years she’s been working at The Lite Shop, probably one of the biggest changes has been the shift to the new LED technology. “It’s always changing,” she said. “That’s one of the things that I like about the job, that it’s always changing. Styles change; lighting changes. Nothing’s ever the same for very long.” The most common question Parker gets is “is there an LED replacement for this?” or “Do they make this in LED yet?” When it comes to deciding what kind of lighting to keep in the store, Parker says she looks at what she would like in her own home and she listens very closely to what people tell her they are looking for, and she uses those ideas.” So far, for 2016, she sees that the trend for

they can find. Why would you do that?” The Lite Shop sells a wide selection of indoor lighting and outdoor lighting. Parker says one of the most popular things they sell is the HappyLight from Verilux. Parker says they do a lot of contractor house orders and special orders, but it’s probably their customer service and knowledge that sets them apart. “We help people making decisions and figuring out what will work and won’t work, and I love giving people ideas,” said Parker. “They’re always asking for ideas. There’s a lot of people renovating very interestingly-built houses.” For more about The Lite Shop, visit liteshop. ca or call 250-287-9905. LSM-04

lighting style is rustic, Edison bulbs, farm lighting, exposed bulbs and dark metals. Concrete fixtures have also become very popular. Parker’s most highly-recommended lighting would be under-cabinet lighting. “If you don’t have it, you need it in your life especially if you have an older kitchen,” she said. Over the years, Parkers has learned how important lighting is and she tries to emphasize how much it matters when it comes to trying to sell your home. “If it looks like you don’t care, people won’t care either,” she said. “Everybody underestimates how powerful good lighting is.

fter 10 years of conflict and another 10 years of intense negotiations, 85 per cent of the 6.4 million hectares of the Great Bear Rainforest have been protected in perpetuity. This is a major accomplishment for environmentalists, First Nations, the coastal forest industry, local communities and governments. But this should have been much easier than it was. The Great Bear
ous. Jock Finlayson, chief economist for the BC Business Council, was critical of the agreement. The permanence and scale of the deal, he said, ostensibly “sterilizes” too much land in a province that has already protected more than its share. But protecting is exactly what we should be doing. Ecologies don’t function if they are isolated in fragmented pieces — we need large
areas to make the protection meaningful and viable. And because B.C. happens to be the most biologically-diverse and species-rich province in Canada, the amount of protection should be commensurate with the stunning variety of our geography — we are morally compelled to protect the natural treasure we have.

o it’s Valentine’s Day on Sunday! Could there be a better excuse for picking a pink wine? It’s a day that’s ripe for rosés! Most wine lovers have all kinds of strange hang-ups when it comes to even trying – never mind actually appreciating and enjoying – rosés. Neither white nor red, rosés straddle the wine and food pairing lines quite magnificently. And winemakers here in British Columbia get it. A favourite in the ‘Cellared in Canada’ but made from domestic and imported wines category Copper Moon Rosé (163634) $8.85 is on the sweeter side of off-dry with notes of cherry, bubble gum and a sweet kiss of pink grapefruit.

The mid-palate is round and juicy because the natural residual sugars create a slightly offdry finish. Chris Jentsch had been growing grapes for decades when he and a group of friends pondered what they would do differently if they could go back 40 years… and the answers were all the same - take more risks. And what’s riskier in the trendoid world of wine than betting on pinks? C . C .

per cent Malbec and 2 per cent Petit Verdot. Intense aromas of passion fruit, guava and wild cherry burst from the glass and are echoed on the palate with a savoury element from the extended lees contact, making this a dry rosé from some seriously bold red grapes. Making waves in the BC wine scene for its crumbling rocky mountainside and gravelly ‘terroir’ – the Similkameen Valley is home to Eau Vivre, Orofino, Corcelletes and Clos du Soleil wineries amongst others. Clos du Soleil Rosé (88468) $20.55 is a full throttle wine from 100 per cent Cabernet Sauvignon. Expect aromas and flavours of ripe, juicy strawberries, raspberries and rhubarb pie reinforced by crisp acidity and flaunting a rain-
washed rocky minerality. Taking enlightened insanity to a new level of marketing mayhem ‘the hatch’ winery “…is a tasting emporium, an emporium the likes not seen before in The Okanagan. But on a meta-level, ‘the hatch’ is the culmination of dreams had by a group of eccentric grapeophiles who have lived and learned the way of the vine for countless years.” The Hatch Brut Rosé (830182) $29.30 colloquially known as ‘OctoBubble’ is made from 100 per cent Gamay, from grapes grown in an organic vineyard on McIntyre’s Bluff. According to Andrew Melville, chief steward of ‘the hatch’, this sparkling pink wine, unlikely as it might seem, is “…hand riddled by Paul Anka himself.” Committed to organic practices, Sage Hills
Vineyard is situated on a dramatic slope overlooking Okanagan Lake in Summerland, BC. The terrain is harsh and dry, with thorny cacti and thatches of fragrant sagebrush on the surrounding hills watching over the vineyards. Sage Hills Syrah Rosé (749325) $29.35 is made from 100 per cent organic Syrah grapes and harvested at 3.1 tonnes per acre for cleanly concentrated aromas and flavours. Very much an homage to the pink wines of Provence, France this off-dry Syrah Rosé has a rich and dusty flavours and the irresistible scent of homemade strawberry-rhubarb pie.

protecting a vibrant temperate rain forest. But sterile is what remains when a logged virgin forest has been converted to a tree farm, precisely the kind of treatment that is causing the sixth major species extinction in Earth’s history. If we are to maintain any semblance of the original
range of life that existed before we sprawled all over the planet, then we need to protect more areas like the Great Bear Rainforest — if any are still left. We might think positively. The Great Bear Rainforest offers incredible and indefinite ecotourism opportunities, cleans the air of carbon

White Cane leads visually impaired out of the dark Kristen Douglas CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
T
ony Reeve watches as his fellow residents take up a game of pool in the lounge area of Berwick seniors home. “I can’t play pool,” he says. He also can’t read a book, dial a phone or do his laundry if someone has moved the knob on the washing machine. Going for a walk in his scooter is pretty difficult too when there are utility poles smack dab in the middle of the sidewalk. He once took a spill after running into one because he couldn’t see it. Reeve is visually impaired and when he looks at people, he can only see their shadow. But he has the support of the blind community behind him and his good friend of 43 years, Lorraine Welch. Welch has been Reeve’s eyes for as long as he’s needed them and she helps him with his laundry and to read his bills – just some of the many things Reeve says people with normal vision take for granted. To help him cope with his deteriorating vision, Reeve joined the Campbell River White Cane Club, a chapter of the Canadian Council of the Blind, which offers support and companionship. The group was started by two ladies who run

the Comox Valley chapter and wanted to bring White Cane to Campbell River. Welch said the women were having to catch a bus in Courtenay at six in the morning, then waiting around in Campbell River until the White Cane meeting started at 1:30 p.m., then waiting around some more until the 6 p.m. bus could take them home – all for an hour and a half meeting. “So I stepped in and I said I would help out, not realizing of course I was going to be the secretary-treasurer,” Welch laughs. She’s also the only one of the group of 12 who has her vision and is able to drive. That means she is picking everyone up to attend the monthly meetings, a process that can take upwards of an hour.
“We really, really need volunteer drivers,” Welch says. The group also really needs funding so that Welch, possibly Reeve and Evelyn Naf, president of the White Cane group – who is also visually impaired, can attend a training session in Kamloops in April. Since reactivating the group in September, Welch says not a whole lot has happened. They want to learn more so they know how to structure their meetings and how they can help their members. They’re planning to bring in different spokespeople such as a dietician, the RCMP to warn of senior scams, optometrists and doctors. The group is also planning a trip to the library to learn how to use different equipment such as the Daisy

Reader which reads stories aloud to those who can’t see to read the pages. Welch says the training workshop will also help the group become more aware of what’s available to help the blind. “There are grants available that most people don’t know about,” Welch says. “There are grants, for instance, for those still working who are partially blind to help them purchase things like dictation machines, or recorders.” This week is White Cane week and to celebrate and help raise money to send the group to Kamloops, Welch and Naf have been collecting donations outside of local businesses. Those who donate can put their name into a draw. The two will be collecting donations today (Feb.
12) in the Community Centre lobby from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and on Saturday at Quality Foods from 1 to 4 p.m. They need to raise at least $1,000 to attend the training conference. The group is also hoping to expand. Currently, there are only seniors in the group but Welch says they’re hoping people of all ages who are visually impaired will join. She says having a support network full of people going through the same struggle can be therapeutic. “Once they become blind, they don’t have transportation, they don’t get out, they feel isolated,” she says. “This is a time for people to get out and socialize with people in the same position they are in.” No matter what the cause of their lost eyesight. Naf, the president of the local White Cane chapter, is losing her sight due to macular degeneration. She’s had laser therapy on her left eye which has only peripheral vision and in her right eye, she says she has a doughnut hole to see through. Naf says the White Cane Club has been a great source of support for her and she’s thankful Welch came along and took on the group. Welch says she was compelled to get involved with White

Cane because she can relate to what the members are going through. Welch, a woman of strong faith, says that about six or seven years ago she was told by an eye specialist that the fluid behind her eyes was drying up. She says her vision got so bad that she couldn’t see the street signs anymore and her daughter had to drive her to Victoria for appointments with her specialist. Meanwhile, Welch says a youth group at her church began to pray for her. She says what happened next is almost unexplainable. She says her vision came back. “I went back to see the specialist and he asked what I had done since I had last been there,” Welch says. “He tested me and said I was fine. “I’m very, very lucky.” And so are the members of White Cane who
rely on Welch – the only sighted member – to get them to and from the meetings. “We probably wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for Lorraine taking care of us,” Naf says. Which is why the group is desperately seeking more volunteers to help with transportation or fundraising which has proven difficult. “Our members can’t see,” Welch says. “When you’re low-sighted a car wash won’t go over well. We’re so limited in what we can do for fundraising.” Anyone who would like to volunteer their time with White Cane can contact either Evelyn Naf at 250-286-4811 or Lorraine Welch at 250-923-8546. The White Cane Club meets the third Tuesday of each month at Berwick by the Sea from 1:30 to 3 p.m.

BOOMERS & Beyond First World War project seeks ‘citizen historians’ A global project has been launched which will research the lives and wartime service of ‘Geordies’ from the North-East of England - in the armies of Australia, New Zealand, Newfoundland, and Canada during the First World War. Dominion Geordies in World War One funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council - will seek to ‘crowdsource’ research by recruiting volunteer researchers in Canada and overseas. Dr. James McConnel, History Lecturer at Northumbria University, explained: “The first stage of the project will involve collecting information that will help us build a comprehensive and

fascinating insight into the stories of so many of the local men and women of the North East who, having left their native land in the three decades or so before the war, found themselves volunteering to return and fight for the homeland in the campaigns of the war across the world. “By better understanding their complex identities, we hope to get a clearer picture of a fascinating aspect of the First World War that has been almost completely forgotten.” Take, for example, George Burdon McKean. Originally from Willington, County Durham, he was a student at the University of Alberta when the war broke out and
Using this information, the project organizers plan to produce a short film and write a number of research papers in order to profile the men of the North-East who fought in the armies of the Dominions.

The research will consider not only individual ‘migration histories’ like these, but also the way that individuals and communities saw their own identities - as ‘Geordies’ and Britons, but also Australians, Canadians, or New Zea-

“It will be an interesting and challenging project to work on,” said Dr McConnel. ”And we want to get as many people as possible involved - from experienced researchers to firsttime historians. Participants will have the opportunity to learn the skills necessary to
research the lost stories of these service men and women’s lives and to work with other researchers across the world. “We are confident that anyone who can take the time to learn just a little about the scale and impact of the war will be encouraged to play a part in the project.” To volunteer to be part of the Dominion Geordies in World War One project or for more information, please visit http://dominiongeordiesinww1.co.uk/ or contact james.mcconnel@northumbria. ac.uk

High school students get a head start at NIC JASMINE MACGREGOR CARIHI MIRROR
With second semester now in full swing, Carihi students are already counting down the days until summer vacation. For Grade 12 students, this means one more semester until they are walking across the graduation stage to receive their diploma and enter the working world. Many of these graduating students will be moving on to some form of post-secondary education and Carihi offers many opportunities for these students to get a head start. “There are two defi-
nite pathways a student can take after graduation,” says Jeff Lontayo, Carihi’s career counsellor. “One is to take trades training through a college and the other is going to university.” Carihi tries to help students enter their desired pathway before they’ve even received their diploma. “If a student is very focused on taking a trade and they know what trade they want to get into, in their Grade 12 year, they can take ‘ACE-IT’ through North Island College (NIC),” said Lontayo. ACE-IT allows high school students to take
their level one technical training during their final year of high school. “Typically, a trade will have four levels of training and each level has a work part and a technical part, which is the schooling part,” said Lontayo. “What we’re trying to offer is the schooling part of their first-year training so that when these kids cross that stage in June, they can say they have their level one training and will be well on their way to their apprenticeship training.” There are currently 11 Grade 12 students from Carihi at NIC taking trades courses through

ACE-IT. Mackenzie Martin has been enrolled in culinary arts since September. “I found out about the program during my second semester of Grade 11,” she said. She chose this route because it was something she already knew she enjoyed doing. “I had previous experience in kitchens, so it’s mostly been refining what I already knew,” she said. Martin noted that the transition into college has been quite comfortable. When asked if she’d recommend the experience to future Grade 12 students, Martin said: “Just do it! If it’s something you think you’ll enjoy in the long run, try it out while the tuition is paid for. Even if you wind up hating it, it could still lead to a job one day.” The other option for Grade 12 students wanting to get a head start on their post-secondary education is “University ONE.” Its main purpose is to help ease the transition from high school to university and allow students to enrol in two University Transferable

courses at NIC during their second semester of Grade 12. Students enrolled receive high school graduation credits as well as first-year university credits. Tuition for these courses is also covered by the Ministry of Education. There are 10 students from Carihi currently enrolled in the program.

ing herself with extra maths and sciences. She jumped at the opportunity to take first-year psychology and English at NIC. “G ett ing st ar te d on university early seemed like a really good idea to me,” she said. “It’s a really nice program and is a good alternative for non-traditional students like myself.” But the program isn’t designed solely for students like Solway who focus on humanities. Christina Kelly hopes to go into nursing and has chosen to take University ONE to get
two of her first-year courses out of the way. Kelly loves the experience so far. “They pay for the two courses, which is really helpful,” she said. “The classes are small and it’s very adept to our learning. We have tons of support, which is great! Mr. Lontayo has organized it so that Tuesdays and Thursdays, we can come to school and work with him and guest speakers that are going to help us prepare for the college experience and how we can deal with it when we’re on our own.”

Local students living and studying in Japan NIGEL NEUFELD CARIHI MIRROR
Ha v e y o u e v e r dreamt of traveling to the other side of the planet? Hunter Korol and Sylvain Barbot are two fortunate Campbell River students who are currently living in Japan. Korol is living in Campbell River’s sister city, Ishikari, through the Campbell River Twinning Society, while Barbot is staying in Chigasaki through a Rotary Youth Exchange. Both have been in Japan since late last year and have been enjoying their time there. Both Korol and Barbot said they would recommend doing an exchange to everyone. “I think that it’s very important to not just see other cultures but to be immersed in and live in another c u lture,” s ays Korol. When asked about the differences between schools in Canada and Japan, they both said they prefer the Canadian school system. In Japan, students are in 12 classes that rotate each day during 45-minute periods and students are required to wear uniforms. Occasionally, tests get scheduled for weekends since there isn’t enough time in class.
Campbell River student Sylvain Barbot (second from right) has been living and studying in Chigasaki, Japan, as part of a Rotary Youth Exchange. Here he is with members of his third host family, from left: Mamiko, Hinako and Kensei.

Learn more about abstract painting with Deveau on Wednesdays, Feb. 24 to March 16, from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at the Campbell River Art Gallery studio. The class will explore
creative mark making, abstracting forms, colour theory and paint applications through a series of exercises that encourage painting intuitively, letting go of outcome and being open to change. Participants will use methods of painting that will induce spontaneity, like painting to music, dripping, splattering,
The Sugar Maples are just one of the musical groups to hit the stage in Not Another Piano Recital, a fundraiser for music students.
Not another piano recital
The traditional piano recital is usually attended by the teacher, the students, their proud parents, and nobody else. The “Not Another Piano Recital” on Sunday, Feb. 28, promises to draw in a much bigger audience, because it offers something for every musical taste. Sponsored by Campbell River Friends of Music, the afternoon concert is a fundraiser for bursaries given every year to help students in various summer music programs, such as
CYMC or the Victoria Conservatory Summer Academy. The concert, to be held at the Campbell River United Church at 2:30 p.m., will include both classical and popular ensembles, musical theatre groups, singers, and, despite the concert’s name, some pianists. The Sugar Maples, a group of five talented local musicians, have been writing and performing their blend of folky bluegrass and blues-based country rock since 2012. A number of groups from the
new contests regularly!
Raincoast Creative Performing Arts Studio in Campbell River will be singing and acting musical theatre numbers in costume. Janice Scriba, Ted Milbrandt and Amy Stevenson have taken the unusual combination of piano, clarinet and viola to form the River City Trio. Together they explore the classical repertoire written for this particularly rich grouping of instruments. For more than 20 years, the Friends of Music has helped students attend a wide variety of sum-
mer programs, giving them the opportunity to meet other young musicians, and often to explore outside their area of concentration. For example, a student who practiced piano diligently from September to June, might have the chance to play the clarinet in an orchestra, or the saxophone in a jazz combo, for a few weeks in the summer. Since the program started in the 1990s more than 75 students have taken advantage of this financial aid. Admission to the Feb. 28 concert is by donation.

Grady inspired by Haig-Brown’s presence and property Lindsay Chung CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Three and a half months into his fivemonth residency at the Haig-Brown Heritage House, writer Wayne Grady of Kingston, Ont., is feeling inspired by the historic property, the world-renowned writer and conservationist who lived there and the community he has been learning about. Grady has been the Haig-Brown House Writer in Residence since Nov. 1 and he will be in Campbell River until the end of March. The residency gives published authors a chance to spend the winter in the HaigBrown House, and the writer divides his or her time between working on their own writing and providing literary advice and support to the community, including participating in Museum at Campbell River programming.
“It’s almost like coming to a monastery; it’s a retreat,” said Grady. “It’s a chance to step back from the everyday life and just do nothing but think about your work for, in this case, five months, which is a fairly long residency. It’s also a chance to find out about a new part of the country that I didn’t know very much about before. But mainly, it’s that stepping away. “The thing that writers need more than anything else is to get their heads inside of their books and to not have to come out of that book until it’s finished. And you almost never get that in real life. The phone rings, you have to go out and fix the front porch or you have to drive your daughter to the bus station, all the Lindsay Chung/CampbeLL RiveR miRRoR hundreds of things that Writer Wayne Grady stands at Roderick Haig-Brown’s desk in the library come up in the course of at the Haig-Brown House. Grady is this year’s Haig-Brown House Writer a day; I don’t have those in Residence. here so I’m able to live inside my book for the Grady has found the very inspirational. The on the banks of the whole time I’m here.” house and property historic farmhouse sits Campbell River. It was
here that author and conservationist Roderick Haig-Brown wrote his influential books, articles and speeches and where he and his wife Ann Elmore lived and raised their family. The Haig-Brown House is now owned by the City of Campbell River and managed by the Museum at Campbell River. “Because the house and particularly this room [the library] has been preserved almost as a shrine to HaigBrown since his death in 1976, it’s like he’s sitting right in here with us - it’s just amazing,” said Grady. “His pipe is still sitting in the ashtray on the desk; I can’t get over that. You open one of the desk drawers and the smell of pipe tobacco comes up. There are his glasses sitting there and his pens on the table and his books and papers lying around as if he was just here reading yesterday.
That is really quite an amazing thing; his presence is still very much here. “Because I’ve been a nature writer as well, I’ve been aware of his work, but I’ve never really been this close to where the work came from. He was an amazing man. I knew about his work but I didn’t know so much about his life, so I’m finding that out. I can see why he loved living here in Campbell River and why he was so adamant about preserving what there is here and not wanting to see it become over-developed or to see the fish habitat destroyed.” Grady has been a writer in residence in other places, so he knew what to expect in terms of how to manage his time and the balance of working on his own material and making himself available to other writers.

Grady: sharing his love of writing
From Pg. 59
The Canada Council guidelines are that the writer divide his or her time with 40 per cent going towards speaking with local writers and 60 per cent going towards working on their own material. Grady has been giving two days a week to the community and immersing himself completely in his own work for the other five days. “Lots of local people have shown me their work and come for mentoring,” he said. “I teach at UBC and teach creative writing and I feel like I have something to say. I expected that to happen and it’s been great. It’s a very well-known program in Campbell River.” For his own project, Grady, who has published one novel, 14 nonfiction books and at least 15 translations, is taking this time to work on his second novel. He had a complete draft finished
before he came here and when he showed it to his editor at Doubleday, she made some comments and gave him some suggestions, so he is building those - and his own changes - in and writing his second draft while he is at the Haig-Brown House. Grady says he has also been enjoying getting outside the city, hiking and visiting places like Quadra Island, Denman Island and Qualicum Beach. Grady’s wife, Merilyn Simonds, is a writer too and she is currently on her own writing retreat, spending three months in Mexico. At the end of March, she will join Grady in Campbell River, and then they will drive back to Ontario together once Grady’s residency ends. As the Haig-Brown House Writer in Residence, Grady takes part in programming at the Museum at Campbell River, and he has several events coming up.

The report identified 5 different locations where viewpoints can be created; some easier than others.
Thompson Trail, which was originally created to allow such opportunities, is run down and overgrown with bushes and scrub Alder. Park benches that were installed with the best of intentions a dozen years ago on the trail now have no view of the river at all.
The Campbellton Neighbourhood Association first got the idea to create small viewpoints along the river a couple of years ago from a study completed by an urban geography class from Vancouver Island University.
The CNA is optimistic that the vision is still intact but the review pointed out that there are many complications with the many competing needs and further study is required in some locations.
We need to make these small pleasant spots to rest and take a moment to enjoy what nature has to offer. Wouldn't it be nice for everyone in the community to be able to do that? Come out and give a hand. You can reach the Campbellton Neighbourhood Association by emailing info@ campbellton.net
We took that idea to The trail is in pretty rough shape and bank erosion is a serious issue. Competing interests have frozen creation of wonderful opportunities for our community to enjoy the resource.

Three acclaimed writers take to Rivercity Stage to examine our relationship with nature MIKE DAVIES CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
An extraordinary collaboration of three nationally recognized environmental writers and one local photographer is happening at the Rivercity Stage this Friday, examining the role of environmental writing and the impact of humans on the natural world. Ken Blackburn, executive director of the Campbell River Arts Council and director of public programs at the Museum at Campbell River – two of the sponsors of the event, along with Stillwater Books and Art – says it’s an important event for continuing an important discussion within our community and around the world. “These three people coming together to do one event is a pretty big deal,” Blackburn says, “and they’ll be having a discussion that’s a pretty big deal, as well.” Wayne Grady, the current Haig-Brown Writer in Residence, winner of the Governor General’s Award and author of 14 books of science and natural history, is one of the night’s presenters. “We have been growing steadily more alienated from nature, and increasingly reliant on technology, and we are dangerously close to

touches on the fact that one of the things that is happening is how people are hearing about the environment as kind of a constant noise and raises awareness about that. There’s an environmental fatigue that has set in for people, and it’s dangerous when
the constant noise of hearing about it makes us turn away from the discussion.” If environmental writing were to stop, Blackburn says, it would be a symptom that we have stopped investigating what our relationship is to the land.
Blackburn says much like visual art, environmental writing examines who we are and what our relationship is with nature. “It’s about how we construct our experience. That conversation is what artists do, and when we look at it that
way, part of that discussion is always going to involve our natural environment and our relationship with it. “It would be to our peril to think that discussion is irrelevant. How could it be?”

That’s why he feels this kind of event is important. What’s needed in the discussion of environmental protection and our relationship with the natural world, Blackburn says, is some middle ground between, “recycling my soup can,” and “saving the planet.” “I kind of hate the concept of ‘saving the
planet,’ actually,” Blackburn says. “It’s such an overarching, huge and broad statement, it’s almost become meaningless.” And the concept of everyone doing just their own little part irks him almost as much, in fact. “I’m not saying recycling is a bad thing. Not at all,” Blackburn says. “But how are we even

You can re-contribute this excess amount to any RRIF you own by the deadline date of February 29, 2016. You will report the full amount withdrawn from your RRIF as income on your 2015 income tax return and claim an offsetting tax deduction for the amount of your re-contribution. (The deduction will be claimed on Line 232 (Other Deductions on the federal T1 return and a similar deduction will be available on a Québec return.)
Here’s an example: Your original 2015 3x8 minimum RRIF withdrawal was $10,000 and your reduced 2015 minimum is $7,500.Group You have already received the Investors full $10,000 from you RRIF but you recontribute $2,500 to your RRIF by the deadline date. You will report the $10,000 withdrawn from your RRIF as income and claim a tax deduction for your $2,500 recontribution.

Normally, every RRIF owner is required to receive a minimum annual amount, as determined under the Income Tax Act, beginning in the second calendar year of the RRIF. (RRIF withdrawals are fully taxable.) However, if you were born in 1943 or earlier and thus turned 71 or older in 2014, you have an added option for managing your taxes. Retroactive to January 1, 2015, the Income Tax Act was amended to reduce RRIF withdrawal minimums (for those born in 1943 or earlier) and allows those owners to recontribute the difference between the original withdrawal minimums and the new reduced minimums – but the deadline date for taking advantage of a re-contribution is Monday, February 29, 2016, so act quickly.

Surprisingly, after over 12 hours behind the wheel, my back wasn’t aching as much as I had expected.

The biggest fundraiser for the Vancouver Island Society for Adaptive Snowsports (VISAS) is coming up later this month, and there’s still time to register a team. The 2016 Herb Bradley Challenge, a fun race named after the founder of adaptive snowsports in the Comox Valley, takes place Feb. 21 at Mount Washington Alpine Resort. Proceeds from this event support adaptive
snowboard and ski programs for more than 500 participants each season. VISAS provides opportunities for people with disabilities to learn to ski and snowboard in a safe, supportive and fun environment. “Our job is to put smiles on faces,” VISAS states in a press release. “Our students are people with all manner of challenges arising from injury, illness and other impairments. To enable them to build on their abilities, we use a lot of very specialized
instruction techniques and equipment. This involves providing a very high level of training for our volunteers and maintaining an extensive inventory of adaptive equipment.” This year, VISAS has about 90 instructors, according to Tom Clarke of Campbell River, who is an instructor and the society’s president. While most volunteers are from the Comox Valley, several do call Campbell River home. Mike and Laura Stubbs are two of those Camp-

The short race takes place in the morning and you have the rest of the day to enjoy the mountain experience and find out more about what VISAS does.” For more information about the Herb Bradley Challenge, contact Brian Gorman at 250-218-6335 or givebrianahug@gmail. com.

‘Grief is not a thing’

Reframing the discussion around a complex emotion MIKE DAVIES CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
W
e’ve all heard about the “Stages of Grief ” that people supposedly move through after a loss. You know – the whole, “denial–anger–bargaining–depression–acceptance,” thing. That model was first put forward by Swiss psychiatrist Elisabeth Kübler-Ross in her 1969 book, On Death and Dying, and has come to be the framework by which the general public views grief. It’s viewed as a thing to move past, or get over, or push out of the way. Like an obstacle. Or, alternatively, it’s seen as a thing we hold down within ourselves and let fester. Like an illness we’re scared to show the world we’ve contracted. Local grief counsellor with the Campbell River Hospice Society, Trish Orr, doesn’t see it either of those ways, however. Grief, Orr says, is a complex emotional response to loss, and she is trying to reframe the discussion around this natural and important human condition. “Grief is not a thing,” she says, looking out over the Strait of Georgia as we sip coffee in her living room, the rain pounding the windows, streaking them like the emotional scars we’re discussing. “It’s a vital, integral part of who we are as human beings,

and it’s a range of emotions, and it’s a range of thinking, and it’s a range of behaviours.” Orr began her career working with deaf kids and their parents, which led her into working with others who had mental and physical challenges, which led her into working with young offenders in the criminal justice system – occupations which certainly had similarities, and enabled her to make a difference in the world using of her education and expertise, but weren’t exactly what she was looking for. Then, in 1980, she became the executive director of an organization dealing with HIV/ AIDS, which was a turning point in her life.
At that time, in the rural areas of “the province she was living” – she has to be vague, due to privacy concerns surrounding health treatment – people were returning to their small towns, villages and
farms after being diagnosed with HIV/AIDS, and their communities didn’t want them. The early 1980s, very little was known about the disease, except that it killed people, and it was contagious.
“So we were working with people who were living with dying. At that time, all of the people we were working with died. Continued on A70

“And so we were not only working with the grief of people dying – and they were often young people who were dying – but also entire families dying. There were entire families that were infected, including their children. It was not only an individual grief, or a family grief, but a community and social grief on a very large scale.” In that work, she saw the momentum gain in the progressive flexibility of palliative care. “The people dying of HIV/AIDS I was working with really challenged the dying process

they are and what it is they need to support that shift.” The Hospice Society, Orr says, tries to keep an emergency counselling appointment open, but there is generally a wait list for appointments, because their services are so heavily used. “It could be a week, or it could be two weeks,” Orr says, for someone to get a scheduled appointment, depending on how many people are currently in their system, but those making those appointments don’t need to worry about the expense, at least. While many counselling services can cost hundreds of dollars per session, the counsellors with Hospice don’t bill for services. “For me, professionally, it’s really important that I give that service in that way. On a community level, my personal belief is that counselling support needs to be there, and I know that there are people who can’t afford to pay money to go see a counsellor. Politically and community-wise, I feel very strongly about that.” She also wants people to know they can access grief counselling services for any form of grief, not just that which accompanies death. “Grief can’t happen without love,” she says, and any loss of something – or someone – you love, can cause grief. In fact, it’s only human that it does.
