Cedar Street resident ‘sick and tired’ of dumpster issues next door Mike Davies
Campbell RiveR miRRoR
Retired millworker Lodovico Fruscalzo tries to keep his property on Cedar Street clean and respectable, and he wishes the rest of the neighbourhood would do the same. “I’m sick and tired of it,” Fruscalzo says in his heavy Italian accent as he stood on the side of Cedar Street last week in his mask and high-vis vest. The dumpster on the property of the four-plex behind him was overflowing, surrounded by full bags and other items that clearly wouldn’t even stay on the top of the pile even if someone had attempted to put them there. He says it’s been like that, “for weeks,” and that it happens, “all the time.” Searra McLeod, a resident of the four-plex, confirms Fruscalzo’s claim. “It has been like that for a long time,” she agrees. “I talked to him (the landlord) last week about it, and he said it was supposed to have been taken away,” she says, peering around the corner at the dumpster. “Obviously it hasn’t.” Fruscalzo doesn’t understand why the city doesn’t put its metaphorical foot down on people who don’t keep up their property. He says he’s been fighting with the city for years about this issue, and keeps being told it’s not their jurisdiction. Karl Read, bylaw enforcement officer for the City of Campbell

Senior governments paying full shot to replace aging bridge to Zeballos On Feb. 12, the Governments of Canada and British Columbia announced that the Village of Zeballos has been awarded a 100 per cent funding grant through the Strategic Priorities Initiative with the Gas Tax Fund for the amount
of $2.9 million. The grant funding will be used to replace the aging Zeballos River crossing bridge. “The Village and our neighbouring communities are extremely excited and appreciative of this opportunity presented
to us by the Government of Canada,” Zeballos Mayor Donnie Cox said. “It allows us not only to replace our aging infrastructure, but also to help us achieve our economic sustainability initiative. “Our village’s economy,

keeping their eye on it. “I’m told that this particular situation was an ‘evicted tenant’ scenario,” Read says, “which filled the bin in short order in this specific case, but the owner has been made aware that what it turned into was not acceptable.” There are a few properties in Campbell River that they actively watch for these types of infractions, Read says, but they can’t be everywhere all the time, so they rely on people to inform them of infractions before they can act, in most cases. So if you see a problem like this, Read says, they want to hear from you so they can look into it. Bylaw enforcement can be reached at 250-2865776. The part of Fruscalzo’s complaint they don’t have jurisdiction over is the location of the bin on the property. “For 40 years,” Fruscalzo says, “it was around the other side of the building in the back alley where the rest of the bins are for the rest of the buildings around here, but for some reason they moved it over here by the street. That’s not where it belongs, is it? Right out by a fourway stop across from a school?” He says he intentionally had his house built – back in the 1970s – on the front of the property to be as far from the alley, “where garbage belongs,” as possible. But now, especially in the summer, he can’t even open his windows, because of both the smell and the black flies from that bin. “We can’t start telling people where they have to have their dumpsters on their property,” Read confirms. “So that part of his complaint really is out of our hands.”
Fire Captains to get ticketing authority

Firefighters rsponded to 388 fire calls last year and 351 non-emergency calls. Meanwhile, a bylaw amendment will give Fire Captains the power to issue tickets.
The city is moving to make it easier for the fire department to write up tickets for those who break city bylaws. At last week’s council meeting, council gave first and second reading to a bylaw amendment that will give more firefighters the authority to issue tickets. Currently, only the city’s fire chief, deputy fire chief and fire inspector can write up tickets for bylaw infractions.
Firefighters busiest on Thursdays and Saturdays Kristen Douglas Campbell RiveR miRRoR
Thursdays and Saturdays were the most common days to have an emergency in Campbell River last year. According to the fire chief ’s annual report, the busiest days for firefighters were Thursdays and Saturdays, while the busiest time of day was between 12 and 5 p.m., with calls spiking at 2 p.m. Firefighters from the downtown fire hall responded to 388 fire calls last year and 351 non-emergency fire calls. The Willow Point fire hall attended 124 fire calls and 108 nonemergency fire calls. Sixty-eight per cent, or 2,033 of the calls firefighters responded to in 2015 were medical incidents while 27 per cent were fires and six per cent were motor vehicle incidents. Emergency fire calls were down slightly last year compared to 2014, from 528 calls to 512, while non-emergency fire calls (376 to 459 calls) and medical calls (1,661 calls to 2,033) increased over the previous year. Fire Chief Ian Baikie said overall the fire department is getting busier and busier as the years go by. “Campbell River Fire Department responded
to 3,004 incidents in 2015 which represents a 17 per cent increase in call volume over 2014 and an average yearly increase in call volume over five years of 10.44 per cent,” Baikie wrote in his report. At last week’s Tuesday council meeting, Chief Baikie said taxpayers are getting a good investment for their tax dollars. Last year, the city’s combined fire insurance costs and fire protection costs were $9.32 million. Baikie said that community fire insurance costs without fire pro-
tection would have been $15.18 million. “If we didn’t have a fire department, we’d pay $7 million more collectively for insurance,” Baikie said. “Well, that’s a big savings. A good investment,” Coun. Charlie Cornfield said. “Yes it is,” Baikie agreed.
Quick facts n Campbell River fire department has 20 career firefighters and one career fire inspector working out of the downtown fire hall. n The department has
56 auxiliary firefighters operating out of both the downtown and Willow Point fire stations. n The department responded to 3,004 total calls in 2015, up from 2,565 in 2014. n $31.7 million in property value at risk saved from fire loss n $1.5 million in property value loss n 30 public education events put on last year n Campbell River’s fire hall provides fire dispatch services to 50 fire departments in six regional districts.

Karl Read, the city’s bylaw enforcement officer, said that adding fire captains to that function will make it easier on the fire department when going through the ticketing process. “Fire department staff routinely attend incidents at which none of these designates may be present but for which it may be appropriate to issue a ticket for a bylaw contravention,” Read wrote in a report to council. “Fire captains are able to perform that role.” The fire department has the legal means to write up tickets for things like open burning infractions – which carry fines of up to $10,000 – as well
as for offences related to the city’s fireworks bylaw. That bylaw makes it illegal to sell fireworks anywhere within the City of Campbell River’s jurisdiction and prohibits the use of fireworks without a permit, as well as bans the sale, possession and use of firecrackers. Anyone who does not comply with those rules can face a fine of not less than $100 and no more than $10,000 or, in extreme cases – imprisonment. Mayor Andy Adams said that by allowing fire captains to write up tickets for such infractions, it will expedite the penalty process. “It enables the captains who are with their crew
and generally first on the scene in these types of instances, to act on them at the time that the incident is actually happening rather than bringing it back to the department and then having to submit a report and then having that report acted on,” Adams said. Adams suggested that the move may be a good candidate for the province’s Reducing Red Tape program which aims to remove barriers and make it easier and faster to deal with governments. “Maybe something we’d want to submit as our helping to facilitate and take some of the bureaucracy out,” Adams said.

Waving the flag on a special month This week started on a very patriotic note with National Flag of Canada Day on Feb. 15. It was really interesting to see so many different Canadian flag-themed images pop up on social media and it made me want to learn more about the flag that is such a huge part of our national identity. Our national flag was raised for the first time on Parliament Hill on Feb. 15, 1965. Canada was just two years away from centennial celebrations when the maple leaf flag was made official by Royal Proclamation. In 1996, Feb. 15 was declared National Flag of Canada Day, and this has been observed every year since. “The flag is the symbol of the nation’s unity, for it, beyond any doubt, represents all the citizens of Canada without distinction of race, language, belief or opinion,” the Speaker of the Senate declared at the Inauguration of the new flag in 1965. And since then, the flag has flown proudly at City Halls, inside hockey arenas and so many other places. It has been worn on the shoulders of our soldiers. It has been worn by

Canada is getting fat. A study by a Memorial University in St. John’s professor published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal found that between 1985 and 2011 the rate of obese Canadians has tripled from six to 18 per cent. By 2019 more than one in five Canadians will be obese. Measuring obesity — typically done by calculating a ratio of weight to height — is an inexact science. But in general if you are a six-foot person weighing more than 220 pounds you probably qualify. The same applies to a five-foot-four person who tips the scales at more than 175 pounds. Like cigarettes, obesity is tied to heart disease, stroke, high blood presand diabetes. Like We say: We need sure cigarettes, obesity will eventually kill you. And, an education like cigarettes, obesity is campaign that an issue that can be best hits hard, often addressed by stopping it before it takes hold. An essential element in achieving that goal is an education campaign that hits Canadians early and often. Show us the harms caused by obesity. Show us the best ways to combat the disease. Give us easy access to the tools we need to fight it. Supplement this by adding warning labels on highcalorie, low-nutrition foods, accompanied by a prohibitive junk food tax that helps fund our health care system while deterring people from buying those products. In short, tackle obesity with the same zest and vigour with which we’ve tackled cigarettes. And then turn things over to our best marketers, who can pose the following question to the next generation: “If we were to offer you a product that would slow your reflexes, create rolls on your belly, add a few chins, make it harder to find clothes, have you gasping for breath, sap your energy level, cost you thousands of dollars a year, and cut your life short, would you be interested?” The answer should be and would be an unequivocal ‘no.’ If we pose the question long enough and loud enough, perhaps it will be. -Black Press

Who will be Campbell River’s FUTURE 15?
Campbell River Chamber’s FUTURE 15 event on Friday (Feb. 19) at the Maritime Heritage Centre profiles 52 nominees – 15 of whom will be awarded the inaugural Future 15 award. The nominees represent a diverse group of local individuals across broad sectors, all between the ages of 19 and 45. They are doctors, scientists, entrepreneurs, philanthropists, artists, social innovators and creators nominated for the good work they are doing in their workplace and community. “This event and nomination process was in response to the Chamber’s commitment to build a positive climate for businesses to prosper in, a commitment to attract and retain young professionals in

Lamb. “Local businesses are dependent on a healthy vibrant business community and our Chamber works tirelessly to that end.” The award recipients will be invited by the Chamber as FUTURE 15 alum, to continue to shape the future of Campbell River by engaging on important initiatives and ideas around social innovation, social enterprise, philanthropy, business and economic development. Nominees are making a positive difference in Campbell River through their professional and personal growth, community service and leadership. Nominees were asked if they thought their workplace was a next generation best place to work and what their employer’s commitment was to support the development of young professionals. “It’s great to see so many local workplaces creating a culture of support for attracting and retaining young professionals,” said Chamber Board Chair, Corby Lamb.” One of the most inspiring responses to a nomination question was in their collective visions for the future of Campbell River. The Chamber will be sharing those visions through social media and community engagement opportunities over the next month. According to Evans, the future is now for the nominees. They see the direct link to future success from what they are doing right now to influence the climate that they want to raise their families in, develop a career in and enjoy a high quality of life in Campbell River. “We value and support the important role each of them is taking to improve our quality of life and for their commitment to Campbell River,” said Evans. A complete list of nominees, tickets to the FUTURE 15 event and further information is available at www.campbellriverchamber.ca The FUTURE 15 event is presented by the Chamber in partnership with lead sponsors, Canadian Western Bank and Campbell River Mirror and support from 2DayFM and Chameleon Creative.

SRD committee hopes to improve relations with First Nations KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Despite being accused of bias, the chair of the Strathcona Regional District board has managed to get directors to have a change of heart on forming a committee to improve relations with First Nations. The board had previously voted to put off the initiative until its strategic planning meeting but at the regular board meeting last Wednesday, board Chair John MacDonald brought the item back for reconsideration. He said he felt the decision to delay the committee until strategic planning had been made without consideration of some “key facts” and that some directors had mistakingly believed the committee would get involved in treaty negotiations rather than its real purpose of bettering relationships. “It’s mandate would be confined to doing research on behalf of the board, and recommending ways and means for the regional district to advance its interests in this area,” MacDonald said. But Area A Director Gerald Whalley had concerns that MacDonald had his own agenda in bringing it back. “I would prefer an item of this nature be brought forward by a director,” Whalley said, adding that the report “gives the appearance of a bias.” Whalley added that he would “hate to see this become precedent or standard procedure, that the chair brings forward his own personal agendas.” Tahsis Director Jude Schooner said she felt MacDonald was only trying to advance a strategic priority that the entire board shares. “In my opinion the time to go forward is now,” Schooner said. “I think it’s a shared priority by the board and not just a couple of directors.” But Whalley said his relationship with the First Nations in his electoral area are progressing the way he wants it to and said he would hate to see a committee come in and change things. “I don’t want any risk of anybody screwing that up,” Whalley said. “It (the
committee) won’t speak on my behalf.” Area C Director Jim Abram expressed the same concerns. “I don’t care one way or the other at this point if we form a committee or not, it’s window dressing, it’s not necessary,” he said. “I’m working on First Nations relations daily, by way of contracts, working together, and getting things done in Area C. And if this committee thinks that it’s going to have any kind of input or change in that system, think again please.” Draft terms of reference for the committee state that its mandate would be to research how the regional district and other governments are trying to improve their relationships with First Nations; to prepare an inventory of all First Nations located within the regional district; and to investigate the status of each First Nation with respect to treaty negotiations. As a select committee, just five of the 13 board members are to sit on the committee, and MacDonald, in his motion to reconsider the committee put forward directors Noba Anderson, Julie Colborne, Charlie Cornfield, Ron Kerr and Schooner as members. That didn’t sit well with Area D Director Brenda Leigh. “It’s either going to be the whole board or no one because it’s not right that you take a select few from this board that are going to hear what is being presented to them and then regurgitate it to us,” Leigh said. “I do not trust putting it in the hands of just a few. If the chair would be open and fair about it, he would say the whole board needs to move forward with that strategic priority.” Kerr agreed that instead of a small group of people, it should be the entire board but Anderson pointed out that with a board as large as the regional district’s it would be “cumbersome” to dig into the issues. In the end, after nearly half an hour of debate, the board agreed to form the First Nations committee and have just the five directors sit on it.

The Irish Rovers return to the Tidemark for their 50th Anniversary Tour
The Celtic supergroup are selling out concerts worldwide and garnering rave reviews as they go
The Irish Rovers have been touring for over 50 years selling out concerts worldwide and garnering rave reviews as they go. On March 18, the Irish Rovers will appear at the Tidemark Theatre at 7:30 p.m. Over the years, they’ve filmed three television series, which entertained Canadians and international audiences throughout the 1970’s and ‘80’s. Vancouver producer Ken Gibson was the producer responsible for the award-winning shows, which on occasion, could even beat out Hockey Night in Canada - a nearly impossible feat. Since leaving the television studios of Vancouver, the band lost touch with many of their
local fans but the Celtic super-group were able to travel the world as musical ambassadors taking them as far as the Arctic Circle, Japan, and Germany, with regular tours to Australia, New Zealand, and the US. “This year is ideal for us to finally say one last goodbye to everyone,” says Rovers leader, George Millar. “Nice to be able to share our 50th Anniversary with our old friends. Believe me, there were times I didn’t think we’d make it to 50, so I’ll be damned if we don’t make the most of it.” The band was founded in Canada in Toronto but first became known on American television in the 60s. As guests on The Tonight Show, The Smothers Brothers Show,

Mike Douglas Show, The Virginian, The Dating Game (George Millar actually won the date), they gained experience before hosting three international television series “The Irish Rovers Show”, “Party with The Rovers” and “The Rovers Comedy House” for CBC and Global Television throughout the 70s and 80s. At that time, fans enjoyed their early hits like Black Velvet Band, The Unicorn, Whisky on a Sunday and Wasn’t That A Party. These days, the Rovers are back on the radio, have released 3 television specials in the last few years, and gone viral on YouTube with their recording of Drunken Sailor! “The Irish Rovers, 50th Anniversary Special” is
now broadcasting on Shaw TV VideoOnDemand – Tune in for more on the band’s history and music. On tour, the band will be releasing “50th Anniversary, LIVE on St. Patrick’s Day” DVD, plus bringing their ultimate music product “The Irish Rovers, 50 Years” 3 CD set – the best music of The Rovers legendary career, and their brand new Children’s album, “Songs for the Wee Folk” – all available at the concert. Tickets for the March 18 Tidemark Theatre performance are $48.50 and are available at the theatre box office or online at tidemarktheatre.com. More at www.theirishroversmusic.com

Dennis Herbert Brown March 16, 1936 - February 7, 2016
We are sad to announce the passing of Dennis Herbert Brown on February 7, 2016 at Campbell River Hospital.
Jarvis Alexander Simon Jarvis passed away on February 4th, at St. Joseph’s Hospital at Comox BC. Born in Sydney, Nova Scotia on October 15th, 1990. We are extremely sad to announce the sudden passing of Jarvis Alexander Simon (Jarvie). Jarvis was a quiet compassionate young man, who chartered his own course through life. He expressed himself in many ways through his phenomenal writing, drawing and cooking. Jarvie was undecided in what he wanted to do with his life, but he wanted a career and not just a job. His favourite thing in life (besides gaming) was the Great Outdoors. He was an accomplished scout, and ďŹ restarter (he could make a ďŹ re in the pouring rain). His loving nature came through in his relationships with his family, friends, and his pets. He will be sorely missed by all who knew Jarvis. His memory of his gentle ways, and beautiful smile will live forever strong in our hearts. Predeceased by his grandmother Jean Simon, Sydney, NS. Survived by his loving parents James and Tammy, and Darlene and John, his siblings, Chester, Becky, Benjamin, Ruel-Dawn and Jade. His loving grandparents Billie and Josie. His uncles Troy-Darryl, Eugene, Aunt Tracey and his wonderful cousins. A Celebration of Life will be held on February 20th at 11am at the Halbe Hall. If you choose to donate, donations to the BC Children’s Hospital would be appreciated. Please join us in remembering Jarvie by visiting or memorial at www.piercysmtwashingtonfuneral.com.

He was predeceased by his parents Donald Herbert & Coral Nesta Brown and brother-in-law William Williams. He is survived by his sister Mary Robin Williams and brother Clifford John Brown (Margaret); nieces Mary Ellen Schulz (Ronald), Coral Ann Desjardins (Alan) Kerry Patricia Enns (Timothy); nephews - Jon Edward Williams, Wesley & Max Terpstra and David Brown, great-nieces & greatnephews Dana, Katie, Joshua, William and Mary. In Dennis’ leisure time, he liked traveling, fishing and camping. Picking mushrooms and Salal. He used the money he made to travel to the casinos in Reno or Tulalip. He lived in Prince Rupert in 1940 when his father was stationed there, then they moved to Dashwood (Qualicum) in 1942. He then moved to Zeballos in 1947 when his mother, a nurse, took a position in the hospital. Dennis also lived on Saltspring Island for a while before moving to Nanaimo. He joined BC Tel in the mid 1950’s and worked in Nanaimo, Alberni, Ucluelet and Clearwater, where he retired from BC Tel after 30 years of service. He was an active member of the Lions Club for many years as well as an Honorary Life Member with the Telecommunications Workers Union. He bought the Homestead Cafe in Clearwater while he was still with the telephone company, later selling it to move to Campbell River in 1991. He lived at his sister’s place in a 5th wheel travel trailer for a number of years before moving into an apartment in Campbell River where he lived for the past 2 years. Flowers gratefully declined. Donations in Dennis’ memory may be made to the Leukemia, Diabetes or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Foundations.

Karl Otelius Davidsen July 25, 1919 - February 7, 2016
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our dear father and grandfather, Karl Otelius Davidsen. Predeceased by wife Margaret Lois, eldest son Larry, daughter-in-law Pat, granddaughters Dana and Erin, as well as his parents and 9 siblings. Karl lived a long full life of 96 years that involved one adventure after another starting at age 11, when his family ventured from Norway to come to Canada. Karl spent his entire life living the west coast way; logging and fishing are how he provided for his wife of over 60 years, Margaret, and his 3 children: Larry (Patricia), Clay (Tracey) and his only daughter Deborah (John). Karl was a loving grandfather to Dana (late), Lara and Erin (late), Sheryl Miller, Allan Miller, Jilan Davidsen, Kassidy Davidsen and Brayden Davidsen, great-grandfather to Kacee and Neveah Stranaghan and Dani Lynn Pimlott. Also left to mourn are his nephew Clark Davidsen and family, his sister-in-law Lorraine Davidsen and nephew Greg McLellan and family. Dearly missed and lovingly remembered by all.

Whether you’re looking for an item or want to fix one, a visit to the Community Centre will get you what you need,” said Linda Nagle, program coordinator with the City’s recreation and culture department. “If you have a broken bike, busted appliance, or a torn sweater that you have no idea how to fix, rather than tossing it, visit the Repair Café, and learn how to fix it. If you can carry it, we can likely fix it.” Money raised through the rental of vendor spaces at the Giant Indoor Garage Sale will go towards 50+ Active Living programming. Table rentals are sold out.
