Frustrated Discovery Passage school community appears resigned to closure

Police make arrest in string of armed robberies ALISTAIR TAYLOR CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

MIKE DAVIES

A suspect has been arrested in connection with last week’s case of the dirt bike robber. Campbell River RCMP have made the arrest in relation to a string of armed robberies at local convenience stores. Police said charges were laid against a 38-year-old male from Campbell River who is currently being held in custody with a court date set for later this month. “With the public’s assistance, a suspect in this matter was identified. Further police investigation led to the male being arrested and charged. We would like to thank the public for their assistance in this particular investigation and for their continued diligence,” said Const. Sara Clark. Last week, Campbell River RCMP sought help in identifying a suspect in a robbery on Feb. 23 at the Quinsam Shell station. A male approached the counter and threatened the cashiers with a knife, demanding the cash from the business’ tills. He fled the scene on a royal blue dirt bike (see surveillance picture below).

Despite the Board of Education’s assertions that their minds are still not made up about potential school closures, parents of students at Discovery Passage Elementary have seemingly resigned themselves to the fact that the facility will close. Only about a third of the seats in the gymnasium of the school were full at Tuesday night’s community consultation, and the faces of the few people in attendance were clearly dejected. While some were still angry about the seemingly-imminent closure, most were there to talk about how the district can make it go as smoothly as possible, asking if the board has plans to increase parking capacity and address congestion issues at Ripple Rock – the proposed school Discovery Passage students will attend should closure go forward – and questions about transportation strategies. According to parent and Parent Advisory Council (PAC) member Heidi Cuff, who has attended all consultations and board meetings since the notice came that Discovery Passage was one of the schools to be considered for closure, “a lot of people didn’t show because it was, like, what’s the point?

LS OGLE HENRY/SPECIAL TO THE MIRROR

Closure: Parents lament short notice we have put forward has been dismissed. As much as they say the decision hasn’t been made…” she said, leaving it openended. Cuff spoke at the meeting about how, if given more time, she feels they could have come up with some alternative, but to spring something like a school closure on a community and give them 60 days to come up with viable alternatives isn’t realistic. “I would love to implement a neighbourhood learning centre,” Cuff told the Mirror after the meeting, “or partition off the school and help them find renters or a buyer, but six weeks just isn’t enough time. It feels as though we have been brought in for the last inning and with no experience or background in the education system have had to play catch up with finances, politics, history – and then turn around and provide them with viable solutions to this whole situation is completely unfair.” He at h e r Va n B u s kirk-Gauthier, who sits alongside Cuff on the Discover y Pas-

sage School’s PAC, also spoke at the meeting, giving an impassioned speech about fighting for their children, trustee accountability, community, fairness and choice. “Since the legislation came in that you cannot enforce school catchment boundaries because parents have the right to have their children attend their school of choice, we have chosen this school for our kids – and now you are taking away our choice,” she told the board. VanBuskirk-Gauthier told the Mirror after the meeting she doesn’t feel that there was ever any intention to consider alternatives. Closure was a foregone conclusion, she says. “There is no Plan B, and they’ve made it clear that any solution we’ve presented to them just won’t work.” The trustees, however, say they are, indeed, still torn on the matter and have in no way made up their minds. “I’m really very conflicted about the future of Discovery Passage,” trustee Joyce McMann emphasized. “I know the evidence presented in our plan looks pretty bleak, but I also know

that, having spent eight years here as a Family Place coordinator, there are wonderful things about this school.” Trustee Daryl Hagen echoed that sentiment, saying, “Whether this is the right (decision) or the wrong one, I haven’t made up my mind. But I really do believe that we’ve done a lot of good things for this school district, and spent a lot of time trying to negotiate more money for this school district on behalf of schools like this. So please don’t think we’ve let you down,” adding that the thought of the public thinking the trustees aren’t fighting

for their kids, “breaks my heart.” For her part, VanBuskirk-Gauthier acknowledges the board is doing what they can, saying, “the whole system is in trouble. This board is in a horrible position,” and placing the blame for the current situation squarely on the provincial government, but she also feels that if the board really wanted to be offered alternatives, “they would sit down with our school community and come up with solutions,” instead of asking for questions by email and at two consultation meetings in the gym.

Plans to appeal investigation into Western Forest Products

ern Forest Products, and other stakeholders. Wh a l l e y s ai d h e angered the foresters by appealing Western’s clean audit after an incident at a previous meeting, on July 28. Whalley said a motion to allow Western to increase its allowable use of herbicides in the Sayward Valley by three times was declared carried following a vote of six in favour and four opposed. Whalley contests that it should have failed according to MIFLAG’s terms of reference which states that, “decisions which must be made by MIFLAG are done by consensus building techniques where consensus is deemed to be ‘no strong opposition.” Whalley said the group’s actions caused him to question the audit and the foresters grew angry and told him to leave. Following that meeting, Jeff Ternan, operations manager for Western, wrote to the Strathcona Regional District relaying that “in light of recent events, Gerald Whalley is no longer welcome to participate in, or attend any further MIFLAG meetings or functions.” The investigation, conducted by SAI Global and triggered by Whalley’s appeal, found that all parties of MIFLAG should have been consulted on Whalley’s removal, but the report added that “whether or not the company may

A Strathcona Regional District director will appeal the results of an investigation into Western Forest Products and the group that advises the company. Area A Director Gerald Whalley said an investigation, triggered when Whalley appealed the clean audit findings of Western Forest Products, was not done properly. “Because this report is based on very shallow investigating and because I believe that many of its conclusions are false, I have appealed this report,” Whalley told the regional district board at its Feb. 25 meeting. “This is my final recourse available to me through this whole certification process.” Whalley launched his app e a l fol lowing his eviction from a Sept. 22 meeting of the Mid Island Forestry Lands Advisory Group (MIFLAG), which, as part of Western Forest Products’ certification, advises the company on sustainable forest management and includes representatives from the regional district, the city, School District 72, West-

remove a member from the MIFLAG remains open” because it’s not addressed in the group’s terms of reference. Whalley has clashed with Western, alleging the forestry company manipulates the minutes of the MIFLAG meetings to suit its needs. Whalley said MIFLAG failed to record a subcommittee’s recommendation that the existing herbicide agreement remain, after Western indicated it wanted to increase its allowable herbicide use three times over. “The company did not like that recommendation,” Whalley said. “It’s been one year since that recommendation, but it was never disclosed in the minutes. It’s been kept in secret.” Amy Spencer, director of communications and government relations with Western Forest Products, said Whalley is free to express his beliefs. “WFP (Western Forest Products) welcomes the SAI feedback and respects all members’ opinions and rights to complain about issues.” SAI Global’s investigation found no evidence that Western is altering the minutes. “We have not found evidence in the documentation reviewed and through the interviews that locally developed indicators were deleted arbitrarily, that new indicators were developed without the MIFLAG’s

consent,” reads the report. But Whalley said the investigation only took into account the existing minutes of the MIFLAG meetings and only involved interviews with himself and two Western Forest Products employees. The report from SAI Global says the investigation consisted of the review of MIFLAG’s terms of reference, minutes from MIFLAG meetings in 2014 and 2015, version four of a strategic management plan, 2013 and 2014 indicator, or target, reports, and MIFLAG’s 2014 annual report. “The findings are as disappointing as they were predictable,” Whalley said. “The investigator’s position was that if it’s not in the minutes, it didn’t happen. The conclusions typically state no evidence was found to support my complaints – of course. The problem with using those minutes as the only real evidence is that Western creates those minutes themselves, they control the minutes and of course they don’t have anything in the minutes they don’t want recorded.” Whalley said he asked the investigator to interview other members of MIFLAG to corroborate his complaints but the investigator was “not interested.” Spencer, meanwhile, said Western Forest Products is in the process of arranging a meet-

With the current school closure community consultation process in its final stretch – decisions will be made on the two schools in question March 15 and 16 – Dave Harper, president of the Campbell River Teachers’ Association, says it’s not just students and parents who feel the weight of the situation. He was a teacher at R o ck l and E lementary when its closure occurred, and he says the additional stress of uncertainty makes an already difficult job even tougher. “I can remember what it was like to be working at a school that has this hanging over you, and it’s really difficult for the teachers to keep a calm, caring educational environment for the kids going while in the background everyone’s got it hanging over their heads that ‘this is the end,’” he says.

CELEBRATING 55 YEARS OF SWIMMING EXCELLENCE campbellriversalmonkings.ca

Campbell River’s oldest youth athletic club, the Campbell River Salmon Kings, was the brainchild of Ms. Dot Andrews. Her dream of coaching swimmers in Campbell River began at Moose Falls in 1961, where she trained a group of summer swimmers. She later moved her athletes to Rotary Beach and then to McIvor Lake. Fifty years ago, the Salmon Kings migrated to the new outdoor pool at Centennial Park and have remained there ever since. The Campbell River Salmon Kings (CRSK) offer young swimmers in the Campbell River and surrounding area the opportunity to learn competitive swimming skills during the summer. The club’s enthusiastic and qualified coaches teach youngsters to swim with confidence and enjoy the excitement of competition in a fun and supportive atmosphere. Swimmers make new friends and develop valuable life skills such as teamwork, goal setting, and sportsmanship. Social events (BBQ’s, theme days, potluck dinners) are fun for the whole family! The summer swim season runs from May 1 to mid-August each year. Registration is open to all children 5 years or older as of May 1 who can swim one width of the pool unassisted (Red Cross level 3/4 equivalent). This summer’s members will again receive expert coaching from Provincial Champion and NCAA Division 1 swimmer Taylor Padington and assistant coaches Keagan Leighton and Kurtis Scriba. The CRSK swim meet on June 17 and 18 will attract over 200 swimmers from across Vancouver Island. For further information contact president@campbellriversalmonkings.ca

HOW TO REGISTER: Early registration nights are March 15 and 17 at 7 pm at Strathcona Pool lobby. Cheques or cash accepted. Please bring child’s birth certificate.

THE CRSK FEES ARE STILL THE LOWEST ON VANCOUVER ISLAND! Early registration fee is $250.00 per swimmer Regular season rate is $275.00 per swimmer

CAO: Regional District advised that it should ‘save its breath’ KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Area C Director Jim Abram says unsuccessful grant applications for two Quadra Island projects may not have been evaluated properly. Abram said at last week’s Thursday Strathcona Regional District meeting that he recently met with Peter Fassbender, the B.C. minister of community, sport and cultural development, and was told to reapply for funding for seismic upgrades to the Quadra Community Centre and an extension to the Quathiaski Cove sewer system. Both projects were denied funding under applications to the Building Canada Fund last year, but Abram said Fassbender told him to resubmit the projects this year under the second intake of the grant program. That flew in the face of a report from regional district staff that recommended the organization not reapply. Victoria Smith, the regional district’s spe-

cial projects and sustainability manager, wrote in a report to the board that “a representative from the ministry of transportation and infrastructure has confirmed that this project (the Quadra Community Centre) is not eligible for this program and advised that we not reapply.” Campbell River Director Charlie Cornfield questioned why the regional district board would not heed that advice from its own staff. Abram argued, however, that new information had come to light and there would be no harm in reapplying. “I just brought you information that’s a day and a half old from the minister himself,” Abram said. “He said that the applications were not reviewed in the light that they should have been and that they should be re-applied for under some different criteria and that there was some certainty on their part that they would be approved. “Why on Earth you

would not apply based on the minister’s word to do that, I have no idea,” Abram added. Cornfield said he only had Abram’s word to go on and that wasn’t enough. “No disrespect to the director but I don’t have any confirmation of anything from the minister,” Cornfield said. “There’s no written confirmation from the minister that the grant criteria has changed one iota. Ministers can say what they want.” Area D Director Brenda Leigh said her understanding was the regional district applied for the community centre seismic improvements under the disaster mitigation category, when that may have been incorrect. “I think what the director (Abram) is saying is that he met with the minister and we applied under the wrong category and that’s why it got rejected and we should apply again,” Leigh said. “There’s other sections of the grant application that may be more appropriate to apply

under.” Tom Yates, acting chief administrative officer of the regional district, said the board could choose to reapply and rethink the category but there’s still no guarantee. “I think we have been advised by the ministry that we should save our breath,” Yates said. “Nevertheless, I agree if we don’t apply there is no chance of getting anything.” The board, taking into account Abram and Yates’ accounts, agreed to resubmit applications for both the Quadra Community Centre and the Quathiaski Cove sewer extension, but not before Campbell River Director Andy Adams asked staff to go back and confirm Abram’s report. “I think information of that nature needs to be brought forward in writing to the board so that we can have written confirmation on the record,” Adams said. The board also voted to apply to the New Building Canada Fund for lighting upgrades at Strathcona Gardens.

City to remove Logger Mike The spar pole in downtown Campbell River will be temporarily without its resident logger this spring while a replacement carving is in the works. “The burly icon representing one of Campbell River’s founding industries is weather-worn beyond repair, and the fresh face will be carved in time to be unveiled as part of this year’s Transformations on the Shore chainsaw carving contest,” says Ross Milnthorp, the city’s general manager of parks, recreation and culture. The current Logger Mike’s last day up in the air at Tyee Plaza will be this Tuesday, March 8. Before the new Logger Mike is elevated to his place of honour, people will be able to see the replica, and have their photo taken with the carving in late June, at the end of the Transformations on the Shore carving contest at Frank

James Park. The carvings, both new and old, will also tour downtown as part of Campbell River’s annual Canada Day parade. “This year’s carving contest and Canada

Day celebration will offer unique opportunities to see both Logger Mikes at eye level, as we celebrate this part of our community heritage with one of the largerthan-life characters in Campbell River,” Miln-

Happy spring everybody. What? It’s not spring you say? Ha! That’s what I said, too, when someone told me that there is an alternative way to determine spring. Heresy, you say! Yes I did too, until an astute denizen of the newsroom got on the Internet to back up his claim that there are some people who consider March 1 as the first day of spring. While he pounded his computer keys in search of the truth, I slapped my palms hard against my ears and shouted “Woo! Woo! Bleeeeeaaaah... wah, wah, wah, wah!” so I wouldn’t have to listen to this apostasy. Okay, it didn’t quite go downlike that. But it was a surprise to learn about “meteorological spring.” What’s more, when I heard the reason for it, I actually thought, “That’s not a bad idea.” But then, that’s how they get you. Logic. Sense. All manner of evil techniques are employed these days to force change. “Spring falls on the equinox,” I lamented while collapsing into a puddle of despair as the

With the Wounded Warrior B.C. Run finishing this weekend we are reminded of the sacrifices made by those that serve our country and our communities. It’s those sacrifices that we often overlook. And unfortunately it is also the sacrifices our local first responders make when serving our communities that we tend to overlook as well. These men and women are the ones running from the warmth and safety of their homes at all hours of the night. They devote their time and their lives to be ready at a moment’s notice. They plunge head-first into a dangerous situation, putting themselves at risk, to help someone else. They are the ones that have to make that call on who to save - and they have to We say: Our first- live with that decision for the rest of their lives. responders face And the things our first responders see in the the hazard of course of a year, a month PTSD too and a week could bring even the strongest to their knees. For those of us that don’t serve, we can only imagine what they go through, how they manage to deal with that stress and emotion, while carrying on with their day and their family lives, trying not to let it affect them or those around them. While laws are put in place to try and keep them safe when they are working on the side of the road, the injuries we cannot see are often overlooked. Yes, it is important we keep these men and women safe while they are out serving the community, but it is equally important that we make sure those injuries you cannot see are also being addressed. Talking about feelings, especially in those industries often stereotyped as macho, has this stigma around it that creates walls and keeps people from getting the help they need. While post traumatic stress disorder or operational stress injuries have been taboo subjects in the past, in recent years many groups and organizations have empathized the need for more research to be done on these subjects. These are injuries that are no longer just associated with veterans. But our first responders - and military members are still not getting the help they need. They take care of us each and everyday, so now it is our turn to make sure we are taking care of them. No one should have to suffer on their own. -Black Press

ally after Labour Day. To me that’s fall. Spring is kind of iffy because the weather can break early or it can linger into April. Especially around here. And that’s another reason to use the meteorological spring. The traditional seasons are based on a temperate, Euro-centric view of climate. Out here on the North American northwest coast, our seasons are different. We have the wet season and the less-wet season. Ba-dum! I jest but really we have three, maybe even just two seasons. Around March we have reason to expect the wind and rain – and occasional wet snow – of “winter” to end (extended fall compared to other parts of the country). Temperatures start climbing up. Spring arrives but it’s really just winter morphing into summer, or the fairly dry season of more warmth and more sun. To me, our climate is characterized by increasing and then decreasing intensity of precipitation and temperature. So divvying up the “four seasons” into three-month calendrical segments makes a lot of sense to me. So happy spring everybody!

ect as the priority for this year’s intake of the New Building Canada Fund – a joint fund between the province and the federal government. The city tried to

secure a grant from last year’s version of the grant program but was unsuccessful. The project involves a rebuild of Highway 19A from Simms Creek to just south of the Big Rock Boat Ramp and would continue on the improvements made along the stretch of highway between Hilchey and Rockland nearly five years ago. The project last year had been shortlisted by city staff from a list of 21 capital projects and subsequently endorsed by city council. But at the last council meeting, on Feb. 21, council seemed as if it may have had a change of heart. Coun. Charlie Cornfield questioned what would happen if council

Ron Kerr said he wasn’t confident the highway project was on the top of his list any longer. “At this time I’m not 100 per cent sure that I think this highway improvement is a high priority,” Kerr said. “I think we should have more conversation about this and the organics facility.” An organics facility, which would be run out of the city’s Norm Wood Environmental Centre, has been on the city’s radar for some time.

LINDSAY CHUNG/CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Campbell River Mayor Andy Adams kicks the first ball through this Thank You banner to officially open the Robron Turf Field Sunday.

Robron Field Committee launches fundraising campaign for new clubhouse LINDSAY CHUNG CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The Robron Turf Field was 10 years in the making and required many, many people to come together. The new all-weather artificial turf field has been in use since Jan. 7, and on Feb. 28, in the middle of a Super 8 Jamboree featuring 15 soccer teams from across Vancouver Island, community members celebrated the grand opening of the field and the launch of a new fundraising drive that will build the next step of the improvements at Robron Park— a new clubhouse. Campbell River Mayor Andy Adams explained that the turf field is actually the second phase of five. The first phase was the lacrosse boxes and the relocation of the tennis courts and the playground equipment. “This was the No. 1 priority in the City of Campbell River survey for recreational facilities, so we’re really pleased to see this done and opened here today,” said Adams. “It’s exciting to see this field already in use and this weekend, we have over 150 soaking wet kids from all over Vancouver Island here

with their families and next weekend, we’re going to have another 110 athletes here doing playoffs, so it’s already been a good success in attracting sports and venues and spinoff to the local community.” During the grand opening of the turf field, Sid Shook from the Campbell River Youth Soccer Association (CRYSA) officially launched the next phase for the Robron complex, a fundraising campaign to build a new clubhouse. “We are aiming, if we raise funds quick enough, to have this built by fall and if not, it will be 2017, so donate generously,” said Shook, who is a member of the Robron Field Committee. Shook says people will be able to stand on the upper deck of the clubhouse and watch games from indoors, there will be a public bathroom, a wraparound deck from which people can watch games, and a great room on the second floor of the clubhouse that can be used as a banquet hall seating 98 people or a sports lounge for teams. For Shook, the highlight of this new building will be the Sports Donor Hall of Fame as you enter the building. Indi■ ■ ■ ■

viduals, groups, clubs, families, businesses and organizations that donate $100 or more will receive plaques, which will be mounted on the wall in a very artistic way, according to Shook. There will be different levels of recognition for donations, and during the grand opening, Shook presented the first three MVP plaques for those donating $10,000 or more. The City of Campbell River received a plaque for all the infrastructure the city is putting in, and Seymour Pacific received a plaque for in-kind contributions that Shook says are probably worth $50,000 to $80,000. CRYSA received an MVP plaque after presenting a cheque to Shook for $154,000. During the Jamboree, the Campbell River Strikers set up two concession stands and donated all the funds to the new clubhouse. Athletes from Campbell River football, lacrosse, men’s and ladies’ soccer, Vancouver Island Premier League soccer and We Wai Kai soccer teams all came out for the grand opening, showcasing how the new field benefits many different user groups.

“It’s just great to see all these different groups that get out there and use this great facility,” said Al Rimell of CRYSA. “While we were doing a lot of work to influence the field being built, one of the key things we thought about and we looked at was that building sports infrastructure is always a good investment … sports infrastructure builds healthy kids, healthy communities and a healthy economy.” The night before the grand opening, Rimell looked over his notes from the past year, and he says it became very obvious how many people were involved in making this dream a reality. “When I was looking at my five years’ of notes, it’s extremely important to recognize that this project was the vision of many, the determined work of many and the passion of many,” he said. “Today is the realization of that vision, that work, that passion and reinforces the importance of sport in our community.” For more information about the clubhouse fundraising campaign or to make a donation, contact Sid Shook at 250923-7838 or Al Rimell at 250204-4060.

he Saanich Braves finished the regular season in eighth place in the VIJHL, 49 points behind Campbell River. Not aware that they were supposed to roll over, the crossover team from the South Division battled the Storm hard and forced a Game 6 on Wednesday in Saanich. Immediately following the 3-1 loss on Tuesday, Storm coaches and players met behind closed doors. Head Coach Lee Stone admits that his team underestimated their opponent, “Unfortunately, our guys looked at their record in the regular season and assumed we’d sweep them away and that’s not how it works.” Stone was impressed but not surprised by the play of Saanich, “We played a lot of playoff hockey last year, outside of the four games with Victoria, I don’t think we played a team as intense as the Saanich Braves.” On Wednesday, the team responded well and handed the Braves a 9-1 trouncing, at George Pearkes Arena, eliminating them 4 games to two. Dylan McCann, who opened the scoring at 2:21 of the first period, returned to the line-up after serving a one game suspension. His speed keeps defenders honest and his return was welcome news to the team. McCann scored two goals on the night. Carter Hikichi and Kobe Oishi, each had a pair of goals while Josh Coblenz, Trevor Bottomley and Colin Blake had singles.

Campbell River now advances to the North Division Final series against the Nanaimo Buccaneers starting on Tuesday at Rod Brind’Amour Arena (7:30 puck drop). Since becoming a member of the Storm at the trade deadline on Jan. 10, netminder Jake Mullen has been a standout. He was good during the late stages of the regular season but it has been the playoffs that has defined his brief time with the Storm. He was the recipient of much attention from Saanich forwards in round one. With Mullen working on a shutout in the opening game, Nick Kean, elbowed him in the head during a second period skate by, knocking him out of action until Game 3; Kean earned a twogame suspension for his actions. In Game 4, with a comfortable 5-1 lead in the third, Kean, again skated by Mullen this time taking his legs out from under him. Despite the rough treatment, Mullen, was stellar in his 4 playoff wins sporting a 1.36 GAA and a .943 SV percentage. He has yet to record a loss in a Campbell River Storm uniform. In other Storm news, the league’s leading regular season goal scorer, Gage Colpron, was inserted into the lineup on Wednesday although he saw very little ice time. In making the decision to dress but play him sparingly, the coaching staff felt that his presence on the bench would be a motivator. Colpron scored 46 goals in 41 games and was thought to be lost for the rest of the season after a Jan. 26 upper body injury.

LINDSAY CHUNG/CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Lexxi Smith of the Vancouver Island Seals carries the puck towards the Fraser Valley Rush goal during their Female Midget AAA quarterfinal game Feb. 27 in Campbell River.

The Vancouver Island Seals’ Female Midget AAA quarter-final series against the Fraser Valley Rush was a tight one, with each game decided by one goal and all three games needed in the best-of-three series. The Seals came from behind to win the series and advance to the semifinals. In the first game of the quarterfinals, the Seals, who were seeded fourth, beat the fifth-

Game 2, played Feb. 27 in Campbell River, needed double overtime to decide a winner. After more than 80 minutes of scoreless hockey, Fraser Valley’s Michaela Read scored to give the visitors the win and extend the series to three games. The third and final game of the series was held Feb. 28 in Campbell River, the teams got off to a slow start, according to the Female Midget AAA website, but the Seals’ Lexxi Smith scored off a “gritty” assist from Brittney Savard to take a 1-0 lead in the first period and were able to hold on for the remaining two periods to claim the victory. The Seals, who had a 12-16-2 record in the regular season and finished fourth in the standings, will now face the No.1 seed Greater Vancouver Comets in the semifinals March 4-6 on the Lower Mainland. The Comets finished the regular season with a 23-4-3 record and spent most of the season at the top of the standings. The team had a leaguelow 40 goals against during the regular season, and Comets forward Elexa Pakozdy was the league’s top scorer with 42 points in 30 games.

Kacee If you want a great positional player, fore checker and someone who hustles back to help his defense then Kacee’s your man. His quick speed and determination makes him always noticeable when he is on the ice. He plays on the left wing and sometimes at centre when needed. He can ﬁnd open ice to receive a clear breakout pass from the D-man and always goes to the net looking for a juicy rebound. Way to go Kacee!

Fishing Corner

Don Daniels

Even though it sometimes feels like spring has arrived, last Tuesday some light snow had fallen in Gold River. Don’t be surprised, though, as March in previous years has given us some undesired weather. I have seen pictures of Gold River guides trudging through snow with their customers. This is the time of year when steelhead fishermen come from the UK and Germany to fish the Gold River and many of the lodges who operate the helicopter charters will take their clients to remote areas of B.C. to fish for steelhead. This is also the time of year that more anglers will be on the Oyster and Quinsam rivers to fish for cutties. With the recent rain, the water levels are up and clear and if the rivers settle down over the next few days, more anglers will be out. If we can rely on the weather forecasts for spring we are in for milder temperatures and more rain, which will be good for the water flow in our local rivers. Last month, there was a fair amount of fishing activity around the Hump for winter springs and with the herring spawn coming up, fishing conditions will improve locally. December had the best fishing last year and it seemed to
