SuperValu building comes down, making way for new rental apartments MIKE DAVIES CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

“A little piece of me died today,” Lindsay Ellis says through her tears after watching the old SuperValu building in Tyee Plaza come down this week. Her father, Gordon Ellis, was the assistant manager of the grocery store for 32 years. He died of leukemia shortly before the store shuttered its doors in December of 2009. “I grew up in that store,” she says. “All my problems went to that store. I was 17 years old when I went there to tell my dad I was pregnant.” And those memories – both difficult and wonderful – all came flooding back as she watched the crews do their work on Monday, systematically ripping the building into rubble from one end to the other. “The staff there was like one big family,” she says, using the example of how employees with young children would often have them running around the store as they waited

Special report: Gender neutral conversation shifting into drive at Vancouver Island educational institutions Part I

JOHN MCKINLEY BLACK PRESS

et’s start in the washroom because it is a place to which we all can relate. A private place. A vulnerable place. A place where most people like things to be just-so. Many of us have gone far out of our way at some point in our lives to find a washroom we are comfortable in. Imagine being a boy forced to spend six hours a day in a workplace where the only place you could go to relieve yourself was a women’s communal washroom. Welcome to what was until very recently a daily fact of life for Vancouver Island transgender students.

John McKinley/BlacK Press

LAUNCH EVENT

About one in every 200 people identifies as transgender and some will express that almost as soon as they are able to speak. Some will do nothing overt to state their identity. Some change their clothing, their names, or their lives. Some seek medical intervention. “You aren’t going to identify people as trans by looking at them. What they have in common is that they feel the gender they were assigned at birth is not the gender they feel themselves to be,” Aaron Devor said. “(They are) rebelling against being put into the wrong coloured box.” Devor is a University of Victoria sociologist who made international

headlines in January when he was named the world’s first chair of transgender studies. He is an international expert on the subject and cites some troubling statistics. A 2014 American study by the Williams Institute concluded 41 per cent of trans adults had attempted suicide, compared to 4.6 per cent of the general population. Another study suggests those numbers have a lot to do with how people react to those who come out. The Ontario-based TransPulse project’s 2012 survey studied transgender people between the ages of 16 and 24. It found 57 per cent of those with unsupportive parents had made a suicide attempt in the past year, compared to just four per cent of those who described their parents as very supportive. Families like the Cunninghams, who have embraced Harriette, and helped empower her social justice efforts, remain more the exception. Historically, parents have dismissed or resisted the message. Until very recently, virtually everyone who expressed transgender feelings was told they were crazy. “If they persisted, it was addressed forcefully,” Devor said — whether through trips

to the psychologist or through beatings. The aftermath of family rejection often played out in various forms of substance abuse and self-abuse and sent people underground. “For many trans people, puberty is a crisis point,” Devor said. “These people will have a crisis point where the body starts to transform itself into the wrong kind of adult person.” That feeling of “other” manifests itself very easily in a public school system rooted in a binary definition of gender. “It starts with a ‘good morning boys and girls’ and moves to boys’ and

girls’ washrooms and gym classes,” Devor said. The Hauser and Cunningham experiences show those divisions remain evident, despite what every person interviewed for this story acknowledged as a real effort for change. “I’m very encouraged to see that the school is taking steps to work with (transgender people),” Devor said. “There is a lot of good will. Unfortunately, it is often combined with a lot of ignorance about what are the right steps to take. (But) it is an encouraging environment.” Part II Friday

SuperValu: Apartment building to replace it

Continued from Pg. 1

for their parents to get off work, playing with each other in the aisles and bringing smiles to the faces of shoppers and employees alike. The building had been sitting vacant and deteriorating for more than a half-decade, with speculation rampant as to what it would become. Some proposed a recreation centre of some kind. There was talk of it becoming a flea market. Others thought more downtown shopping would be a nice addition to the core of our town – possibly with some rental housing or condominiums upstairs. The speculation ended this week, however, when it was announced that the building was being demolished to make way for a new 47-unit, fourstorey apartment block, according to project

manager Ben Kunz. “Hopefully it will pep up the downtown a bit,” he says as he watches the machinery tear away the walls of the old building from behind the fence and caution tape. “We need more people downtown. It’s pretty lonely down here at night.” The new apartment complex will be rental units only, Kunz says, and it’s only the first phase of what they hope will be a grouping of apartment complexes surrounding the plaza. “We want to build another 80 over there by Spirit Square,” he says, pointing across the parking lot towards the Art Gallery and Visitor Centre. And these aren’t your run-of-the-mill apartments, either, Kunz says. “They’ll be pretty fancy,” Kunz says. “They’ll all have a washer/dryer in each unit, all stainless steel

appliances, laminate floors, nine-foot ceilings … it’s a lot more comfortable living than in some of these older apartments,” Kunz says, adding that’s what the rental market “wants” right now, based on other buildings the developer – Molmar Group, based in Vancouver – has been building all over Vancouver Island recently. “I think that’s what people are wanting these days,” Kunz says. “We just built one in Nanaimo, and we rented out the thing in, like, two months, and we’re talking about 110 units in that one.” There’s currently no timeline on the incoming apartment complex project, as there is still some red tape to sort out with the City of Campbell River, but Kunz says once they get the word, they’ll get to work getting it up so people can start moving in as soon

as possible. Campbell River social media channels lit up with reaction once people started posting photos and videos of the building coming down, and those reactions fell into two basic categories: “It’s about time,” and, “Sad to see it go.”

“Good riddance! Out with the old and in with the new,” one poster proclaimed cheerily. Others added that they hoped even more would soon be done to revitalize the core of our community and remove other downtown “eyesores.”

Some, however, echoed Ellis’ sadness in seeing the building torn down, saying it’s always hard when a piece of our town’s history – especially something that reminds us of happy times in our lives – is taken away. There’s some small

Hagel Park playground improvements held off, SRD to consult with residents KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Playground equipment at Hagel Park, considered non-complaint and a liability risk, won’t be replaced until next year in order to first consult with area residents. At the Feb. 25 regional district board meeting, Area D Director Brenda Leigh told the board she wants to hold off on making any changes to the playground at the community park until 2017. The item had been in the 2016 budget but the board, following Leigh’s wishes, voted to remove it. “I think we are being responsible by going to the community and asking them what they would like to replace this with and giving them some input time,” Leigh said. Parts of the wooden play structure, installed in 1996, were identified as a safety hazard by the Municipal Insurance Association (MIA) in 2014 and, most recently, by an independent playground inspector on Feb. 10. That inspection report to the regional district reveals that protective barriers on the equipment are not at the required height and a large nail partly sticking out of a slide post is an entanglement hazard. The report also found that gaps between the chains on a wobble

bridge are a head entrapment and that the timbers on a log bridge are rotting, split, weakened and flex under adult weight. But Leigh said, in her opinion, the report “overstates the risk” of the playground equipment. “I really think we have time, one year, to replace the equipment and consult the community on what they want to replace it with,” Leigh said. “There’s no immediate danger to anybody and there’s never been an accident, there’s never been any claims against that equipment – it’s safe.” Leigh said the community cares for the park and parents are vigilant when it comes to watching their children play. Campbell River Director Andy Adams said while he could agree MIA can be “overly cautionary” he said he was concerned about the regional district’s liability if it takes no action to remedy the risks identified. Tom Yates, acting chief administrative officer of the regional district, said the exposure of the regional district may increase if an incident were to occur and the regional district, knowing the risk, had done nothing to mitigate it. “There may be some form of a penalty if litigation were to be successful in court,” Yates said. “The Hagel playground equip-

A combined la tee da 50 yrs. of fitting experience 3x7

ment does not adhere to current CSA (Canadian Standards Association) standards and therefore holds substantial liability for the regional district.” But Leigh assured the board that the risk is “minuscule” and odds of serious incident occurring are slim. “I appreciate MIA has to be super diligent when they do their reports,” Leigh said. “I don’t think the risk is great here. We have our eyes on the park and we care about the safety of the kids and we’re there watching. The risk, it’s minuscule because of the people who are watching the use of the equipment.” Area C Director Jim Abram suggested the regional district go ahead with fixing the safety issues identified in the report, which would allow the regional district to defer replacing the play equipment until next year while reducing its liability. The board in the end agreed to that and also directed staff, in conjunction with Leigh, to prepare a replacement plan for the Hagel Park playground equipment. “If there is a plan that’s working towards replacement and repair, that would mitigate our liability,” Adams said. Removal and replacement of the play structure is estimated to cost $120,000.

Hydro project to power up city

Yet another BC Hydro project will put a charge into the Campbell River economy. The utility is expected to begin construction later this month on the Campbell River substation, at the end of 7th Avenue, that will increase its ability to supply electricity to its customers. The $29.8 million project will increase the electricity capacity for future growth in the area. S t e p h e n Wa t s o n , spokesperson for BC Hydro, said the city is growing and the Hydro distribution grid that serves the area needs some work in order to keep up. “The existing distribution system is having constraints because of development and growth that has already taken place in Campbell River, particularly in the south,” Watson said. “In the past five years the general area that these substations serve has grown, and more development is planned. It means some significant investment is needed to keep up with the continued growth.” Hydro investigated several options to increase the distribution system capacity and settled on adding a third transformer to the two that already exist at the 7th Avenue substation. From that new transformer, up to four new feeders or circuits will be added to the Campbell River grid system. The Campbell River area is also served by

BC Hydro will be working inside this substation on 7th Ave into fall, 2017 to provide upgrades to keep up with electrical growth in the area.

a second substation in Oyster River. Circuits feed out of the substations and along roadways to supply electricity up to Sayward, over to Quadra Island, and down to the Black Creek area. Watson said Hydro expects to begin work on the substation later in March, with work expected to be complete in the fall of 2017. “The increased capacity provided by these two new circuits – and eventually the other two circuits from the new transformer – will nicely serve the wider Campbell River area by off-loading some of the existing circuits that are near capacity and free things up for future community growth in residential and commercial development,” Watson said, adding that Hydro has been working closely with the City of Campbell River on the project, and has reached out to people living near the substation as well as nearby École des Deux Mondes Elementary. The Campbell River Substation project is just one of several BC Hydro is undertaking in the

area. Hydro is currently in the middle of relocating the John Hart Generating Station underground and is expecting to undertake seismic upgrades to both the John Hart and Strathcona dams starting in 2018. Mayor Andy Adams said the city is grateful to be the beneficiary of several millions of dollars of investment. “With all these important capital projects in our area that BC Hydro is undertaking to keep their hydroelectric facilities and power grid system safe and reliable, I think we’ve become the provincial poster child of BC Hydro’s comprehensive capital projects program,” Adams said. Colleen Evans, CAO of the Campbell River Chamber of Commerce, said it paints the city in a good light. “This project and commitment by BC Hydro sends an important message to business, job seekers and investors alike and that is that we’re actively engaged for strong business development for years to come.”

Cedar parents raising funds for playground

Kristen Douglas/Campbell river mirror

Clockwise from top left, Tyrrell Charlie, Alexis Lanqvist, Ciara Billy and Myya Lanqvist play together on the Cedar Elementary playground, which the school's PAC is desperately trying to replace.

KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Campbell River mom Dionne Lanqvist is facing an uphill battle.

She, along with the rest of the Cedar Elementary Parent Advisory Council (PAC), needs to come up with several thousands of dollars to replace the

school’s playground. The play apparatus was built in the early 1990s and is nearing the end of its life expectancy. Lanqvist, chair of the school’s PAC, said it’s up to the PAC to come up with the money for a replacement, as school districts can’t afford to provide all of their schools with new playgrounds. “For two years, we’ve been trying to raise money for a new playground,” Lanqvist says. “That one is decrepit. It’s had issues that have had to be repaired, issues with things like screws sticking out.”

As issues have popped up, they’ve been immediately fixed to ensure the children’s safety, but Lanqvist says it’s time for an overhaul. Not only would she like to see a new play structure, but her vision is also to move the playground from the front of the school to the back, where there is more space. “It’s the only playground in the district that’s right off the parking lot,” Lanqvist says. “A lot of traffic goes by and people cut through the playground.” The playground is also too small. With 171 students — and Cedar’s

student population projected to grow long-term — the playground is far from adequate. “It’s not even close to big enough to accommodate all the students,” Lanqvist says. “Lunch times have had to be split to accommodate all the kids.” The PAC needs to raise between $66,000 and $100,000 to purchase playground equipment large enough to serve the school’s population. And that’s just for the equipment — there are also installation and shipping costs involved. But Lanqvist says it’s a worthwhile cause, as

the entire neighbourhood will benefit. With the play structure at Centennial Park being removed a couple of years ago in favour of a natural playscape, a lot more kids have been coming to Cedar school to play. There are also a lot of kids living in the area who don’t have backyards. The PAC has been trying to raise money inhouse since last school year. But Lanqvist says this year, she’s focusing on doing community events to relieve some of the financial pressure put on parents. This Saturday, March

12, the school is hosting a craft fair from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The halls of the school and the gym (which is a separate building) will be full of 48 different vendors selling a variety of things. There will be knitters, crafters, home-based businesses, a petting zoo and a photographer doing Easter photos. A second fundraiser will kick off March 16: a raffle for gift baskets and speciality-made adirondack chairs that runs until May 5. Tickets will be sold at Coastal Community Credit Union at Discovery Harbour shopping centre.

Many people struggle with how to be authentic in expressing feelings. Here’s one simple way to start. Eliminate the word “but” from your vocabulary. When you say something and start your next sentence with Frances Ferguson, M.Ed. “but,” it can negate what you Registered Clinical just said, or certainly leave the Counsellor listener confused. For example: “I’d like to go to the party with you, but I have nothing to wear.” How do you really feel? Are you unsure about appropriate attire... feel self-conscious… need to go shopping… or is it an excuse not to go to the party? In which case, it would be more honest to say, “Thanks for the invitation. I don’t want to go.”

City waives undergrounding requirement for Dairy Queen owner KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

metres wide — the site purchased by Costain for the new Dairy Queen has a frontage of 55.8 metres wide. Matthew Fitzgerald, city planner, said the city requires owners of new developments to underground existing overhead lines in certain areas so that over time, unsightly wires along the city’s arterial roads will be removed and relocated underground in order to improve the aesthetic of the street and community. But Wilson said it was an unfair burden to place solely on Costain.

According to Fitzgerald, undergrounding wires costs approximately $460 per metre, not including the cost of any civil works such as sidewalk removal and replacement, which would run Costain’s project more than $25,000 over budget. Wilson said Dairy Queen’s construction manager estimated the work would cost more than that — closer to $125,000, not including service interruption costs for nearby businesses. “The cost is not feasible to the owner,” Wilson

said. “Jim is small business, he is one person who is trying to make an improvement to the downtown area with his business. This work is probably going to trigger Jim to have to sell the property if he’s required to do it.” Wilson said she also spoke to three different people at BC Hydro and all recommended against burying such a small section of wires. Wilson added that a civil engineer from Herold Engineering advised there is not enough room for all the utilities to go underground and

that would trigger additional costs to relocate the city’s storm sewers and gas mains. On top of that, at a neighbourhood public meeting, two nearby businesses — the only two to attend — Home Hardware and Elm St. Enterprises Ltd. both expressed that the work was unnecessary as no other properties have underground lines along Dogwood Street. After hearing from Wilson Monday night, council decided to grant an exemption to Dairy Queen from the requirement. Council has in

the past taken similar action, including waiving the requirement of undergrounding lines for the developer of the apartment building at Merecroft and Dogwood and for a freight transfer depot on 14th Avenue. Fitzgerald, in a report to city council, said that if council does decide in the future to relocate the wires underground, it may indeed be up to taxpayers to foot the bill. “The cost will be transferred to taxpayers for this frontage in the event that the power lines along this stretch are relocated underground.”

Having these accounts in Segregated Fund portfolios allows them to pass outside of the will (and still gives you access until then). You can name beneficiaries, dictate the portion each person gets, and even direct some payments to pay out over time (if you are concerned about a certain person’s spending habits). Segregated funds are not subject to probate, paying out like a life insurance policy, so they pay out quickly, and cannot be disputed in a court of law.

Growing tomatoes from seed takes time and care, but it is not hard, and the results are well worth it. It’s best to have a warm place, or a heat mat, consistently 70 – 80 degrees F. A South facing exposure in a window, or the help of a daylight spectrum bulb, such as a T5 fl uorescent, is ideal. In a tray with inserts, or really any kind of shallow container with a clear lid, place moist starting mix such as Coco Coir, or Pro Mix Christa Fernau BX. Sow the seeds carefully a couple of inches apart and cover them with twice the seeds’ thickness in potting mix. Gently and thoroughly water with chlorine free water (let tap water sit at room temp for 24 hours) You may wish to add B Vitamins, such as B Plus, as a general health tonic, as it is excellent in any propagation practice. Remember not to let the mix dry out, but don’t over water either! Once the seedlings have emerged, do not allow them to overcrowd, as they will compete, and become spindly. If lighting is inadequate once they are sprouted, they will also become spindly, so keep light as close as possible. Harden the seedlings off gradually, starting with venting the domes, and making sure humidity isn’t too high. Once the plants are a 1/2 inch or so high, you may apply a weak solution of plant food, such as Canadian Plant Food Tomato Formula 6-10-8. As the plants grow, so do their feeding requirements, so higher concentrations of good quality nutrients are necessary.

Cit y counci l has granted an exemption to the owner of Dairy Queen who was considering walking away from a new building site because of costly conditions being imposed by the city. Carolynn Wilson, architect and agent for Dairy Queen, said the city in August approved a development permit for a new Dairy Queen on Dogwood Street, at the corner of 12th Avenue on the former Save On gas bar site.

Four months later, she said local Dairy Queen owner Jim Costain was told by the city there was one more piece required — one that would cost Costain several thousands of dollars. “Our civil engineer was notified by the city’s planning department that the bylaw triggered the owner to re-locate the overhead services,” Wilson told council at its Monday night meeting.

Celebrating the man behind the shamrock It’s March and that can only mean one thing. Other than the arrival of spring, of course. Although it will be nice to see the change of the seasons, I’m talking about St. Patrick’s Day. It’s still over a week away, but I’m already getting excited. Those who know me well find this amusing because I’m not a big drinker and let’s be honest, that’s what St. Patrick’s Day is for most people – a chance to drink beer, hit up the pub with friends, and drink more beer. I think it must be the Irish blood that courses through my veins courtesy of my mom’s side of the family. They were always big observers of the Irish holiday and some of their traditions were passed down by my mom to our family. I think I have her to thank for my love of the Irish. Every March 17 she would make us green mashed potatoes with our dinner and green Kool-Aid or limeade to drink. We had an Irish Rovers record with The Unicorn on the A side and Black Velvet Band on the B side that we played on repeat. But the best part of all was

COMMENT Kristen Douglas

Yesterday we once again recognized the women in our world on International Women’s Day. Sure, we recognize them every day. They are our mothers, sisters, daughters, friends and colleagues. So if we recognize them every day, do we still need an International Women’s Day? Hasn’t it pretty much been accepted that we need equality between the sexes? That women deserve the same rights as the rest of us? Yes. The answer to all those questions is yes. Granted, we’ve come a long way since the United Nations invited their member states to proclaim March 8 as the official UN Day for Women’s Rights and World Peace in 1977, but women are still, throughout the world, well behind men in terms We say: We’ve of their rights and privicome a long way leges. Even here in Canada, but we still have where we value women’s equality much more than further to go some other places around the world, federal Status of Women critic Sheila Malcomson issued a statement yesterday saying we need to do even better. And she’s right. “Indigenous women are still seven times more likely to be murdered than non-indigenous women. Poverty rates among single mothers and senior women are increasing and women continue to make only 77 per cent of what men earn for work of equal value,” reads Malcomson’s statement, before calling for the government to play “a crucial role” in advancing gender equality by creating strong social programs, “including access to affordable housing, childcare, healthcare, and legal aid.” Those are things that benefit us all, whether we are women – who are still harassed, assaulted and abused at far higher rates than men – or not. So, yes. International Women’s Day is still important. Because in making the world a better place for women, we make the world a better place for everyone. And don’t we all want to live in a better world?

Day’s charm. There’s also the silly costumes, shamrock head bands, leprechaun hats, and gaudy green necklaces – all a nod to the Irish, known for their beer and having a good time. And a way to recognize what started out as a religious feast day for St. Patrick – the patron saint of Ireland, who was born in Britain, jailed and taken to Ireland as a slave. He escaped at the age of 20 and grew up to become a bishop, preaching across Ireland for 40 years. St. Patrick used the iconic shamrock associated with Ireland as a way to illustrate the Holy Trinity – the concept of one God in three persons: the Father, his Son, and the Holy Spirit. St. Patrick died on March 17, AD 461 – a day that has been celebrated in his honour for centuries. What started as a feast day for one of the Catholic church’s most beloved saints, has evolved over the years to a celebration of Irish culture and folklore. Even though I’m one week and a day early, Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Once an industrial landscape, Baikie Island Nature Reserve is now a world-renowned example of how land can be restored back to health. However, yearly tending is required to rebuild native plant populations and to control a showy yellow ornamental plant known as yellow flag iris. While it can be an attractive plant, yellow flag iris is an invasive species that poses a great threat to fragile wetland ecosystems. Unless tackled early, the iris can rapidly form dense cover, preventing the establishment of native wetland plants and damaging important habitat for native animal species.

INFORMATION

Stephen John Dyer

1991- 2016 With great sadness Stephenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s struggles ended on February 21st, 2016. Left to mourn him is his mom Rhonda Dyer of Kamloops, his brother Ken (Becca) Dyer of Port Hardy, BC., his sister Alicia (Joel) of St. Albert, Alberta as well as many aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews. He will also be missed dearly by his good friends and hockey buddies Amanda Robertson and Ian Zellick. Stephen was predeceased by his dad John Dyer in April of 2014, his grandmother Sherry Foreman in August 2014 and his very close friend Mike Evenson in December of 2014. Stephen was born in Vancouver, BC on February 5th, 1991. He attended and graduated from Brock Secondary in 2009 and he later attended TRU part-time. He loved most sports but hockey was his game, he was an avid Canucks and Blazers fan from a very young age, he was a Blazers season ticket holder for many years. One of his other passions was the radio; he started working at radio NL/ The River at the young age of 16 until his passing where he developed close friendships with many of his co-workers. Stephen you are forever in our hearts. A gathering will take place at a later date.

December 25, 1949 - March 3, 2016

Predeceased by parents Lorna & Albert, brother Landis, nephew Mark. Survived by wife of 44 years Linda, son Paul, daughter Christie (Jim Brown), daughter Tania (John Zandvliet); grandchildren Caitlynn & Tyler, brother Spencer (Janneke), nephew Terry, nieces Celina & Angela, sister Bonnie (Paul Hurley), sister Pat Wilden (Jim, nephew Paul, brother & sisterin-law Steve & Gloria, sister-inlaw Anna, mother-in-law Maria. Borrowed children Gina, Kaylee & Shelley. Thank you mom and Anna for holding down the fort so I could spend all my time with Chris. Chris loved his wife, family, dog and motorcycle, not always in that order. When Chris lost his hearing, he put away the motorcycle and found new joy in camping around our beautiful lakes (Thanks kids). After retirement, much to Chrisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; delight he was never bored, as his wife always had just one more little â&#x20AC;&#x153;Reno-jobâ&#x20AC;? for him to do. As Chris was a private man, only those closest to him witnessed his goofy sense of humour and his gentle nature. He had a strong love for his family and tried his best to stay with them as long as he could. After a long struggle with cancer, Chris being true to his nature, slipped away quietly, in his own bed. He had requested no flowers or service. Instead, if it pleases you, share a kindness with a strangerâ&#x20AC;Ś.just because.

Claudio Brufatto

July 19, 1923-February 24, 2016 Born in Crocetta del Motello, in the Province of Treviso, located about 50 kilometres northwest of Venice, to Emilio and Eufrasia Brufatto, and was the youngest of seven siblings. Claudio was predeceased by his wife of 64 years, Teresina (Teresa), on October 20, 2014 and is survived by their three sons Ferdinando (Fred), Loris and Dino; six grandchildren Tania, Traci, Tim, Tina, Tony and Danielle and six great-grandchildren Kaylee, Liam, Braden, Rhys, Ocean and Jade. After serving in the second World War and being imprisoned in Germany, Claudio married his wife Teresa in their hometown of Crocetta, where they had their first son. He and cousin Armando sought work in Vancouver, BC in 1950, eventually ending up on Vancouver Island and settling in Campbell River. Teresa with son Fred would later join - and this became home. Claudio worked in construction on the original John Hart Generating Station, and the Elk Falls Mill, leading into his long career in residential home construction. During his retirement, he enjoyed raising canaries, gardening and building furniture and concrete yard decor. The beautiful gardens were lifelong projects, enjoyed by many, especially his beloved wife, where she enjoyed tea time and entertaining, with the pride and joy being her gazebo. The landscape they created earlier in life on 4th Avenue and later on 5th Avenue were both featured in a local magazine at the height of the season, in full bloom and compared as a mini â&#x20AC;&#x153;Butchart.â&#x20AC;? Everyone who knew Claudio was well aware of his huge, kind and generous heart. In the end of his life, his big heart would not sustain him. He passed away peacefully while sleeping. He will be sorely missed and remembered by many. Mass will be held in Claudioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s honour on Monday, March 14, 2016 at 11:00am at St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Roman Catholic Church. Celebration of his life to follow at 2:00pm at Berwick by the Sea in the Tyee Lounge. The family would like to sincerely thank Campbell River and District General Hospital, the staff of Berwick by the Sea. We would like to especially thank Dr. Douglas and Dr. McPherson. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the BC Heart and Stroke Foundation.

BC Hydro to spill water for flood risk management Hydro to increase water flows by 21 times the normal rates BC Hydro is increasing the spill below the John Hart Dam as of yesterday evening because of an increase in precipitation flowing into the Campbell River watershed. About 200 millimetres (mm) of precipitation has fallen in the upper Campbell River watershed this month, according to Stephen Watson, BC Hydro stakeholder engagement advisor. While there has been significant snow accumulation in the upper elevations since March 1, with one of the snow pillow gauges registering about 275 mm of snow water equivalent, a lot of this precipitation has fallen as rain and provided consistently elevated water inflows into the Campbell River system. “This has resulted in the Upper Campbell Reservoir/Buttle Lake level rising into its flood buffer zone,” Watson said. “The Upper Campbell Reservoir has come up almost one metre over the past week to 219.9 metres. “Beginning Tuesday evening, Hydro will increase the spill below the John Hart Dam down Elk Falls Canyon above the base river flow of 4 m3/s,” Watson added. “The water flows below the dam will be increased to 85 m3/s – a 21-fold increase – and possibly up to 100 m3/s over the following 10 days through March 18.” Total discharges down the Campbell River from the canyon and the outflow from the generat-

ing station will go from about 115 m3/s to about 195 m3/s. The ocean tides are high this week and there is a forecast for some ocean storm surges from winds and atmospheric low pressure, typically associated with stormy weather, according to Watson. The public is advised to stay away from the Campbell River below the John Hart Dam through to the estuary. The high flow conditions will likely last until March 18. Safety warning signage will be placed along the river system. “Please view the water going over Elk Falls from the safety of the suspension bridge,” Watson said. The Upper Campbell Reservoir/Buttle Lake is 3.4 metres higher than average for this time of year.

The Lower Campbell Reservoir/McIvor lake is at 177.7 metres and is 0.3 metres higher than average for this time of year. “We are following some storm activity forecasted for Wednesday but much of this storm has shifted

farther south,” Watson said. “There is also a potential significant storm on Saturday.” The recent snow accumulation has increased the Wolf River (upper) snow pillow to an above average snowpack.

A Look Back

THE HISTORY OF THE CAMPBELL RIVER AREA

Suigyo No Majiwari: A friendship of trust and faith SUZANNE BONNER MUSEUM AT CAMPBELL RIVER

he history of Campbell River’s relationship with our sister-city Ishikari, Japan, goes back to the 1980’s, and is one of the longest standing town sisterhoods in Canada. After the Second World War, Canada was looking to make amends for the injustices inflicted upon Japanese Canadians, and this led many Canadian communities to sign ‘twinning’ agreements with Japanese communities. The intention was to promote cultural understanding, and to establish friendships and economic ties. In 1981, the town of Ishikari approached Jim Murray, the CP Air Public Relations Advisor for the Orient, asking him to assist them in finding a sister city in Canada. Campbell River exhibited many similarities with Ishikari, such as the importance of salmon to the community. Ishikari is the salmon capital of Hokkaido, Japan and, like Campbell River, hosts an annual Salmon Festival. The cities were a perfect match. So, two years later, delegates from both cities met and an official twinning agreement was signed. Today, the Torii gate stands as a proud symbol of friendship between the two communities. Located across from the Museum in Sequoia Park, it was a gift presented to Campbell River from the town of Ishikari to commemorate the sister cities’ 10th anniversary. In exchange, Campbell River

gifted a totem pole carved by Bill Henderson, which now stands out front of Ishikari’s City Hall. Freeman Mary Ashley was a member of the City Council at the time the agreement was signed and has been involved in many city exchanges and the organization of anniversaries with Ishikari. Ashley observes that “while we were unable to really

establish an economic basis [with Ishikari], we have been extremely successful with establishing the cultural and educational parts of the relationship”. “The youth program” she adds, “has been enormously successful”. For Ashley, one of the many highlights that arose from Campbell River’s twinning agreement with Ishikari has been the formation of long

standing friendships between families of the two communities as a result of the youth exchange programs. Mayor Andy Adams, past President of the Campbell River Twinning Society, says that there were approximately sixty twinning relationships formed initially between Canada and Japan, but that many of these relationships have lapsed with minimal activity.

A major contributing factor was the severe cut-back in funding from the government’s gaming branch. Campbell River and Ishikari are the exception with a strong Senior Student Exchange and Young Ambassador Exchange programs that have resulted in close to 900 students travelling between our two cities since inception. Adams also notes that today the province is pushing for communities to establish ties with China, rather than maintain long-term relationships with Japan. The Twinning Society’s President, Dave Armitage, hopes that the cultural exchange with Ishikari will continue despite past financial struggles. According to Armitage, the student exchange programs have life changing effects on all who are involved. Since the agreement was signed in ’83, Armitage feels that the relationship between Campbell River and Ishikari has evolved into much more. “Today we are not just sister cities”, Armitage says, “We’ve become family”. The Society celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2013. An exhibit will be installed in the Museum at Campbell River from March 18 to May 30, with a special opening reception on March 29, that will honour the history of the relationship between Campbell River and Ishikari. The exhibit will focus on the key milestones of the twinning and showcase some of the major gifts exchanged between the two communities.

The Strathcona Toyota Midget Tyees are the Tier 2 Island champions and are moving on to Prince George to battle for the provincial title.

Midget Tyees target provincial title With the Island title in their back pocket the Strathcona Toyota Midget Tyees have set their sights on the provincial championships in Prince George. The Nanaimo Clippers were the only team standing in their way of a berth in the provincial championships when the two teams lined up Feb. 20. The Tyees and Clippers have faced each other a number of times this season and all the games have been very close and particularly intense. The Island final is a best-of-three-game affair, with Campbell River owning home ice

advantage. Game 1 Feb. 20 started with the Tyees looked a little nervous in front of a large and raucous crowd, at the Brindy. The Clippers looked much more comfortable and confident to start the game and before the Tyees knew it the first period was over and the Clippers had a 2-0 lead. The Tyees were a different team in the second period, erasing the lead with goals by Braydon Kratzmann, Owen Boyd and Jacob Hartley. As we have come to expect, this Nanaimo team refused to give in and battled back to take the lead 4-3. Nick Ordano brought the fans to their feet, half-

way through the third as he tapped in a juicy rebound to tie the game. The last 10 minutes was wild and entertaining. Aided by a couple late power plays the Clippers would send the fans home unhappy, as they skated to a 6-4 win. Game 2 of the Island Finals was the following day at the Nanaimo Ice Center. The Clippers packed their stands with supporters, all hoping for a sweep for the harbour city squad. The tyees on the other hand, were determined to send this series to a third and final match. From the drop of the first puck the Campbell River boys were on their game. Braydon Kratzmann opened the scoring, ripping a shot top corner off a turnover. Lukas Lund added 2 goals of his own, both assisted by Owen Boyd. Tyler Dickson extended the Tyee lead to 4 late in the first. The Tyees continued the onslaught in the second period, Liam Rivett

A strong commitment to team defence in the third period, and goals from Kaleb Beattie and Sage Lim. Guaranteed that we would be seeing this great series continue back in Campbell River. The Tyees had a renewed optimism as they traveled home, savoring the 7-0 win. Game 3 was scheduled

for Saturday afternoon at Strathcona Gardens. As the fans entered the building, a noticeable buzz was in the air, and the word was certainly out about the big game. The largest crowd that we have ever seen for a minor hockey game was sitting on the edge of their seats in anticipation. The hometowns Tyees were clearly energized by the massive pro Tyee crowd. Jacob Hartley brought the fans to their feet early in the first when took a pass from Matt Barker and picked the corner behind the Nanaimo keeper. Seth Cont. page 28

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

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

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

Riptide U15 girls head to the provincials

Campbell River’s Kaitlyn Dreger heads to the A Cup Provincial Championships in July with the rest of her Marine Harvest Riptide U15 Girls soccer team mates after winning the finals 5-2 against Gorge/Lakehill.

Canada’s Finishing Store!

For the second year in a row, the 2001 Riptide Girls soccer team has earned the Island berth at the Provincial A Cup championships. After winning the VIPL league title, Riptide had home field advantage for both of their single elimination A Cup Playdown match ups. In Campbell River, the Riptide U15 Girls faced Saanich in a semi-final game that came down to the wire. No score during regulation time led the teams into two ten minute overtime periods and then, finally, into a penalty kick shootout. Each team had five chances to score. Winner took all. Finding the back of the net on every shot, Riptide won by one point and advanced to

the finals. Those finals took place in Courtenay on Saturday when Riptide took on Gorge/Lakehill for the opportunity to compete at the Provincials in July. Having never lost to Gorge in previous match ups, Riptide felt confident. However, Gorge came into the game with momentum after upsetting Storm in their semifinal match, also in overtime penalty kicks. Gorge fought hard, earning the first goal of the game. This put Riptide in a situation where they would have to come from behind for only the second time this season. Scoring went back and forth until the last twenty minutes of the game when Riptide widened the gap, winning with a

final score of 5-2. “We are very proud of this group of young ladies for their commitment and dedication to their team, to their sport, and to the overall Riptide program,” expressed Riptide Coaches Matt Laver and Lisa Wigard after the win. Of special note was Reilly Douglas who unexpectedly switched into the role of goalkeeper after the season started, showing amazing growth and contribution to the team’s overall success. As her confidence grew over time, so did that of the team. According to the coaches, that confidence also came, in part, due to the expertise and guidance of Riptide’s technical team including

Shel Brodsgaard, Ken Garraway, and Geoff Hackett, “as well as the unwavering support this season from Steering Committee Member, Sean Arbour.” In addition to a spot at the A Cup Provincials in Burnaby this July, the Marine Harvest Riptide U15 Girls also earned the Island berth in the Coastal Cup which takes place in April. The team appreciates that Lacasse Construction will be sponsoring them through to the end of the summer to help cover the additional costs of their extended season.

Local Judo fighters take BC Winter Games golds

Jamiliya Wellard holds an opponent down during BC Winter Games judo action in Penticton

Six Campbell River Judo Club fighters tested their skills against other Judo athletes from all over B.C. at the BC Winter Games held in Penticton recenlty. Over two days of competition the local club was able to bring home three Gold medals and memories that will last a life time. When competing at the Games Campbell River athletes are part of a larger Island Zone team. During the first day of competition Judo fighters square off to determine individual titles in their respective weight categories. Early in the day Anthony Henry fought his way to a Gold medal match in the -55kg division. Henry fell behind early when he was thrown in the first minute of the match however as the match neared its final moments he was able to keep his composure and throw his opponent and secure a hold down for the win. The next division with Campbell River fighters was the -57kg womens including Jamiliya Wellard and Jordann War-

ner. This division was by far the largest female division of the day with eight athletes from all over the Province looking for Winter Games glory. Both Campbell River fighters came out strong with Warner and Wellard winning their first matches decisively. Warner then fell short against a more experienced fighter in her second fight while Wellard was able to keep her winning streak alive all the way to the Gold medal match. Warner was able to bounce back with another win but eventually had her second loss and came fourth just outside the medals. In the Gold medal match Wellard struggled to score early and found herself behind with only thirty seconds left on the clock, It looked like she was going to have to settle for Silver until with little time to work with she was able to take her adversary down and quickly lock on a hold down for the win. Next up was the men’s -55kg division Campbell River was well represented with Jacob

Doherty, Jacob Hicks and Quinn Golobar all eager to see how they matched up against the best in the province. In the first round of matches Golobar was able to secure a win while Hicks and Doherty came up short and where relegated to the B side of the pool. In his next match Golobar fell short to the eventual winner of the division. Golobar fought well but his opponent was able to maintain a slim lead all the way to the final bell. Meanwhile Doherty and Hicks fighting hard on the B side of the tournament started finding success, winning their next matches. With a win under his belt Hicks was setup to have a rematch with the fighter that sent him to the B side. The rematch ended in dramatic fashion with Hicks sending the other fighter soaring only ten seconds into the fight. Doherty also had two huge wins on the B side but eventually he and Hicks suffered their second losses and where eliminated. Golobar finished the day just outside of the medals in fourth place

fighting extremely well all day. Br yn Gir vin who recently re-joined the Campbell River Judo Club after a couple year layoff, had a tough go in the Games; falling just short of a win in his opening match. Girvin continued to fight strong in his second match but came up short of a win and was eliminated. On day two of the Games, the Judo competition turns from an individual sport to a team sport. All zones put forward five of their best fighters in five predetermined weight categories to square off for BC Judo supremacy. These five fighters then compete against other zones in the best out five matches. CRJC’s Wellard and Quinn Golobar were selected to represent Vancouver Island. The teams were very evenly matched and it always came down to the fifth and final fight to determine the winning team. After four extremely close rounds of combat Vancouver Island was crowned the Gold medal team.

CRGA individual highlights included Reese Wheeldon capturing the Bronze medal in the All Around competition and

adding a 4th place finish on beam in the Finals as well as posting the top score on vault in the prelims before finishing in 7th place during the Finals.
