ELK POPULATION REBOUNDS JOHN MCKINLEY

City’s managed forest land bylaw stands

very autumn, seasoned members of the Kwakwak’awakw nation gather their young hunters. They melt into the forests near Campbell River and Sayward to track and kill the resident Roosevelt elk — at more than 1,000 pounds, the world’s second-largest deer. They carefully record their catch and any other observations, then arrange for the butchering. Around Christmas the young hunters reconvene, load up the meat and hand-deliver packages to the community’s elders. It is a lesson in self-sustenance and providing for the community that was not possible a few decades ago when the North Island tribe was restricted to hunting only six elk a year. Last fall, tribe members took 101 because the resurgent elk population allowed for it. That population is a testament to a new approach to conservation and co-operation that has seen elk herds growing across Vancouver Island. Some are pointing to it as what should become a template for other British Columbia wildlife management practices. “The state of the herds is fantastic. They are doing very, very well,” John Henderson said. “We have developed a management plan where everybody benefits.” “The numbers have gone up. It’s a positive in a province where

wildlife numbers are suffering,” Glenn Venus agreed. “I believe the government is doing a good job on our elk. It’s a real win/win. We’ve got a real good relationship with the First Nations and it’s all managed very well.” Henderson is First Nations, the vice-chairman of, and wildlife officer for, the Kwakiutl Dis-

trict Council. Venus is not First Nations. He operates a hunting lodge and guiding operation called TrophyWest from his acreage near Sayward. Historically, such men have butted heads in competition over hunting access. Today, they work together as president and secretary, respectively, of the Wildlife Stewardship Council, a

coalition of hunting guides and First Nations that takes great pride in the elk success story. Henderson said the first step in the relationship was the recognition that the health of the animal comes first. That means growing, self-sustainable herds take precedence over any harvest.

TimberWest has decided not to launch a final challenge of the City of Campbell River’s authority to raise the tax rate on managed forest lands within city boundaries. The 60-day period for TimberWest to appeal a BC Court of Appeal ruling on the City of Campbell River’s 2014 Tax Rates Bylaw expired on March 29, meaning the BC Court of Appeal’s ruling is final. On Jan. 29, 2016 the BC Court of Appeal issued its judgment on TimberWest Corporation’s appeal of the BC Supreme Court decision upholding the City’s 2014 Tax Rates Bylaw. In its ruling, the BC Court of Appeal unanimously dismissed TimberWest’s argument that the city did not have the authority to raise the tax rate on managed forest lands within City boundaries. “We are pleased to hear that the BC Court of Appeal has upheld the City’s 2014 Tax Rates bylaw,” says Mayor Andy Adams. “The decision to raise property taxes in 2014 on managed forest lands simply brings the tax rates on TimberWest’s properties in Campbell River to the provincial average over a three-year phase-in period. The City recognizes TimberWest as a valued taxpayer and are happy this court case is behind us.” TimberWest, the city’s largest priContinued on Pg. 3

Social media skews people’s Tax: Company claims rate is unfair perception of cougar numbers

Continued from Pg. 1

vate timber and land management company, filed the tax challenge last Feb. 27, 2014 after council increased taxes on managed forest lands from $2.29 per thousand dollars of assessed value to the provincial average of $13.98. The increase, to be phased in over three years, was set to bring rates in line with other B.C. municipalities. TimberWest argued during a 2014 hearing in Vancouver that the new tax bylaw would increase its taxes in 2014 by more than two and a half times the rate for 2013 and that once additional increases are phased in over three years, TimberWest will be taxed at a rate that is more than five times what Merrill and Ring will pay. The BC Court of Appeal found that the Supreme Court correctly interpreted the relevant legislation, and upheld the city’s position that the province, through section 14 of the Local Government Act and other taxing legislation, provides specific authority to local governments to set separate tax rates within the same property class where, as in this case, there has been a municipal boundary extension approved through legislation. “The judgment made in this case is of interest to local governments throughout the province as there are examples of many other municipalities that have similarly set differential tax rates through a municipal boundary extension, which have now been upheld at both the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeal,” says Ron Bowles, the city’s general manager of corporate services and chief financial officer. “As a result of the appeal, the City of Campbell River will con-

tinue to follow Council’s tax policy of charging the provincial average tax rate on managed forest lands within City boundaries, except for lands where provincial restrictions apply.” – with files from Kristen Douglas/ Campbell River Mirror

Background n During the January 2014 financial planning meetings, Campbell River City Council approved tax rate increases for managed forest lands and utilities tax classes to be phased in over multiple years that would bring rates in line with the provincial average for these property classes. n The policy to increase taxation on these two classes aimed to address long-term funding needs while minimizing residential property taxes increases. n Council provided advance notice to companies affected by the increase. n The increase would affect all class 7 (managed forest land) properties in the city except for the Merrill and Ring lands, which are charged a rural rate according to a Provincial order set when these properties were incorporated into the city. n The increase restores tax levels for TimberWest properties classified as managed forest lands to a rate similar to what the company was paying in 2008, without protest, phased in over three years. n The B C Supreme Court announced its support of the City’s position on Jan. 23, 2015. n On Jan. 29, 2016 the BC Court of Appeal unanimously upheld the Supreme Court decision. n TimberWest had until March 29, 2016 to seek leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada. – Source: City of Campbell River

Since the advent of social media platforms like Facebook, it’s never been easier for people to tell each other what’s going on around them. But just because people are hearing about cougar sightings more often, doesn’t mean there are more cougars around. Conservation Officer Mike Newton, based in Black Creek, says that yes, cougar activity has increased recently, but only because it’s the spring. And that happens every year. “It’s nothing that’s anything abnormal for this time of year,” he says, adding that cougar sightings are “on par” with previous spring seasons. “We do tend to get increased activity at this time of year, when the grass greens up around town, and in the bush, the deer tend to move around and disperse

– they aren’t held into their winter habitat so much – and when the deer are more mobile, the cougars, as a consequence, are mobile too, so we do get increased sightings in and around the green space belts in and around Campbell River,” Newton says. Part of the misconception that some have about increased numbers

of sightings is definitely due to social media, Newton says. “We’ve noticed, for sure, that people are using Faceb o ok to report to each other what they’re seeing,” he says, but adds that while it’s a benefit for community members to know when cougars are around, it’s important for the Conservation Officer Ser-

vice to be aware of them, as well. “Sometimes, those people forget they should also call our RAPP (Report All Poachers & Polluters) hotline at 1-877-952-7277, and it’s critical that if people are seeing cougars in and around urban areas of Campbell River, they use that number to let us know.”

This rendering shows what a new 46-unit residential apartment building is proposed to look like. The building is being constructed on the former SuperValu site in Tyee Plaza.

support of the building or not,” Kerr said. “Would it have been my choice? No. But I know the builder is a quality builder. I’ll be supporting it. It’s not my personal taste but it’s a good looking building and it’s sure a heck of a lot better than what we have now.” Plans for the building include variances in the façade, particularly on the sides visible from the street, as well as changes in siding materials and colours to help define different areas within the building. Spr uce t r im and beams are proposed to run along the building and also to highlight entrance and balcony features to meet the West Coast theme guidelines in the city’s Sustainable Official Community Plan. Matthew Fitzgerald, planner for the city, said the layout of the site is

challenging because it does not allow the developer to site the building adjacent to the sidewalk. “The building will be sited parallel to the north property boundary in a similar manner to the Comfort Inn hotel,” Fitzgerald said. “While this works with the parcel’s shape, it may not maximize the ocean view potential for the building. On the north side, the four-storey Comfort Inn building restricts the views to a relatively narrow cone, while the Tyee Plaza building will restrict the views for the south units to a slightly wider cone, but only for the top two storeys.” Coun. Charlie Cornfield said it’s unfortunate the building won’t capitalize on the view but said he still supports the project. “To me, I think that would be a selling point

but I think that’s their business,” Cornfield said. “I’ll leave it at that.” Mayor Andy Adams said he’s pleased to see the development come to fruition. “Council’s strategic priority is to get residential housing in our downtown core, that has been first and foremost,” Adams said. “This is the first developer looking to do significant residential in the downtown core.” Fitzgerald echoed those sentiments. “On a macro level, this is an exciting development which will see some of the first rental apartment units being added to the downtown area in many years,” he said. “This is compounded by the fact the proposal reuses a long vacant site and adds a new use to the Tyee Plaza shopping centre.”

Station would focus on environment, aboriginal rights and culture LINDSAY CHUNG CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A First Nations radio station could be coming to the Campbell River area. The application for a broadcasting licence has been made, letters of support have been received and the next hurdle is a Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) consultation hearing May 16 in Vancouver. According to the CRTC, the station would be a Type B Native FM radio station and would operate at 100.7 MHz (channel 264C1). The Aupe Cultural Enhancement Society proposes to broadcast 126 hours of local programming each broadcast week, with a minimum of six hours in the K’omoks language.

Society member Darren Blaney approached Campbell River council asking for a letter of support, and at its March 21 meeting, council voted to send a letter supporting the radio station. Blaney is currently in his fourth term on the Homalco First Nation council and he was chief for six years. He says they had a licence for a radio station when he was chief but the next chief didn’t pursue it. Fast forward to 2015 and Blaney became connected to Bob Morris, a professor at Capilano University, and started pursuing the idea again. “Funny enough, this professor from Capilano University was wondering how come First Nations don’t have licences so he looked up the CRTC and he found our licence and he spoke to someone who knew me and we got connected,” said Blaney. About six months ago, Blaney and Morris sent a letter to the CRTC applying for a broadcasting licence and they heard back a month later. “We got a letter back in November from CRTC saying they would do all that they can to get us our licence,” he said, adding with a laugh: “From there, it’s been kind of a mad scramble.”

Blaney says he tried to work with the Homalco council to get the radio station going through the council but they were too busy, and the CRTC said it had to be done through a society, so he got together the Aupe Cultural Enhancement Society. Along with Blaney, the society’s directors are Mavis Coupal, Gerald Joseph, Rebecca Blaney and Corina Wilson. The CRTC then said the society needed support letters, and Blaney approached Campbell River Mayor Andy Adams, North Island MLA Claire Trevena and the Naut’sa mawt Tribal Council, which represents 11 First Nations including the Homalco, and received support from them all. “So far, there’s no opposition to our radio station,” said Blaney. When it comes to the radio station’s format, Blaney thinks it should involve the environment, climate change, aboriginal rights, and culture. Blaney says a lot of community members and youth are interested in being DJs, so aboriginal music will be part of the station as well. “We’ve got a lot of musicians around, so I thought it might be kind of neat for them to have a jam night or something,” he said.

Some people from Tla’amin were suggesting a word of the day feature as well. “Our language is K’omoks dialect, but the coverage of the area goes from Campbell River to Port Hardy and then from Port Hardy all the way down to Nanaimo, so it’s quite a lot of language groups,” said Blaney. The station would provide jobs for aboriginal community members, as they’ll need a manager, reporters and other positions, and Blaney hopes it will support aboriginal culture.

“For me, when we formed the society, the purpose of the society was to address cultural issues but also, it deals with the effects of residential schools,” he said. “The radio station, part of its profits when it starts making money, part of it will go to youth and part of it will go to culture and parts will go to healing and hopefully it will help support people in their whatever capacity building, whether that’s education or business.” Blaney recalls that when he first applied for the radio station licence when he was chief, it was mostly about economic development. “Back when I was chief, I was thinking that economic development was the answer to all of our problems as First Nations,” he said. “But when I look at it now, it’s more that we need to do some healing, that they need to kind of go hand in hand, healing and economic development. “Part of that healing is our culture. We have to have our culture and right now, because of residential schools and social problems, there’s a lot of shame around being First Nations, so we need to heal that and it needs a lot of work. And we need to help our people restore some of that pride and start to build up again.”

Elk: ‘Nobody was speaking for the animal’ “Back then we were at odds with each other, arguing over rights and title and formulas,” he said. “Nobody was speaking for the animal. We speak for the animal.” Then came rough agreement that any harvest should be split equally between First Nations and non-First Nations hunters. And to avoid the jealously and finger-pointing that had previously jaundiced such accords, the hunters pledged to keep a thorough and scrupulous accounting of how many elk there are and how many are taken. “The only way we can establish a trust relationship is having the numbers,” Henderson said. “Our people have managed it in a way that respects the animal and so we had sustenance. Our people have established themselves as responsible hunters.” The numbers seem to bear that out. You may mostly hear about Roosevelt elk in the news because of the too-frequent poaching incidents that shake Vancouver Island herds from time to time. But the fact of the matter is Island population trends for this majestic beast are clearly positive. According to a Ministry of Forests management plan released in July of 2014, the number of

Vancouver Island elk has more than doubled in less than 30 years — from 2,500 animals in 1986 to 5,300 in 2014. Ministry officials say that number has reached 5,500 today. Ranging throughout most of Vancouver Island, and most plentiful in the areas west of Campbell River, Cowichan and Nanaimo, herds are stable or increasing in all but three of the more than 150 subregions in the area, including the Sunshine Coast. The elk are native to the Island, but saw their numbers decimated during a century of colonial practices. Populations are secure enough now in some areas that they are being transplanted to reestablish herds in habitat areas where they had disappeared. Despite these gains, the animal remains on the provincial Blue List, meaning it is considered at-risk because of characteristics that make it particularly sensitive or vulnerable to human activities and natural events. “Elk can be highly susceptible to harsh winters and high levels of predation and/or unregulated hunting. This is especially true of small populations that are less resilient, which can be very slow to recover,” Ministry of Forests Pub-

lic Affairs officer Greig Bethel said in an email. The two dead cows — one pregnant — discovered poached west of Sooke in February is an example of that. They were part of a fledgling herd that had recently established a foothold in that area. Conservation officers say that herd is small enough that the loss of even two cows could render it unsustainable. Conservation officer Scott Norris said elk poaching is a problem that comes and goes in spurts. He said his office depends on hunters and other wilderness users to monitor what they see and do their part to help keep poachers in check. He said most are highly motivated to see herds grow and poaching stop. “Most hunters are never going to get a chance to get an elk,” he said. “Of course (poaching) gets them upset.” According to the government, it receives about 15,000 applications annually from resident hunters for approximately 300 opportunities to shoot an elk. Those opportunities are awarded by giving out tags for limited entry hunts using a lottery system. First Nations hunters are given about the same number of opportunities, but they are distributed to a variety of bands, which redistribute them using a variety of different systems.

Henderson is urging other bands to adopt the same principles and scrupulous reporting practices used by the Kwakiutl District Council. He said they promote conservation attitudes within band memberships and the transparency encourages better relationships with the non-Native hunting community. He said everybody needs to be part of the process. “Right now I am going around the province sharing my knowledge and my beliefs,” he said. “It’s the responsible thing to do at the end of the day. If I can educate the young people then I have done my part.” The goal for the species — as stated in the provincial management plan — is to maintain self-sustaining populations, expand its traditional range and to get it off the Blue List by 2024. Clear progress has been made on the first and second goals, while the third also appears to be in sight. Venus preaches continued slow and steady progress along the path that has already been established. “We are doing well, the numbers are growing, but I don’t want to do anything silly. It happens in other parts of the province and we don’t want that,” he said. “As long as the health of the herds is there, I think that is the most important thing. “The elk is a very special animal.”

Jacqueline Spies, executive director of the Campbell River Hospice Society, says the community seems to have the wrong idea about their new facility, based on the number of angry people who have been yelling at her about a lack of hospice beds in the plan. “There seems to be a huge misconception in the community, by your average community individual, that we’re building a facility with beds, and I just don’t know where that’s coming from,” Spies says. Spies says she’s been receiving angry messages – through Facebook, email, and in person from people coming through the doors

of their current location on Dogwood Street – from members of the public accusing them of either misrepresenting themselves or just not doing enough for their community because of the lack of hospice beds in Campbell River. “It’s obviously something that our community is very, very passionate about, and we truly do need it,” Spies says, “but at no point in time did anyone say that we were going to have them in this new facility. “What I want to get through to people is that having a free-standing hospice will always be our dream. It is something that we will never drop and will continually strive to give our community,” she says, but the reality is that there’s no

way the Hospice Society can come up with the kind of funds required for providing that kind of service. Not right now, anyway. The facility being built will have room to expand should funding become available for hospice beds down the road, but as Spies says, “It’s one thing to come up with the money to build it, it’s another thing entirely to try and come up with the money to run it.” Spies says based on the numbers she’s been provided by Island Health it costs about $850,000 per year to run a six-bed hospice facility. “And I have a 200-someodd thousand dollar budget that I have to fight like Hell for just to keep our doors open with the services we already offer,” she says,

clearly exasperated with the questions about why the new facility won’t have any beds. She thinks part of the confusion comes from the name. “I think what’s throwing people off is that they called it a ‘Hospice House,’” Spies says. “When you call it a ‘house,’ people automatically assume we’re getting hospice beds, but we’ve never made any claim that it would, nor have we ever implied it. Most people understand that, and see what it is we’re doing, but the people who don’t … really don’t.” Another complaint Spies has been hearing are veracious versions of, “Well, where is it? Shouldn’t it be built by now?” And while she admits the project is significantly

behind schedule, she’s also optimistic that people will soon see activity on the property on Evergreen. “The biggest thing was that we were held up on servicing for the lot,” Spies says. “You know, getting hooked into the water and sewer and all that. We had one idea for how it would work, but that didn’t work out, so now we’re going to have to do something else.” But there is good news, too. “All the permits are in place, and we’re just waiting for this one little thing – servicing – and then we can break ground. I hope to God it’s in the next couple of months,” she says, which puts them a year behind schedule. “My understanding when

I started here was that they were supposed to be breaking ground last spring, which would have had us in there last fall. But those are the bumps and grinds of being given things and having to figure things out.” The property at 402 Evergreen, beside the new hospital, was donated by the City of Campbell River and the 2,476 square foot facility will provide a home-like setting for their clients with a kitchen, library, counselling office, a multi-purpose room, a clinic and an outdoor courtyard.

SRD clarifies municipal directors’ compensation

FRIDAY, FRIDAY,APRIL APRIL1, 1,2016 2016 | | CAMPBELL CAMPBELLRIVER RIVERMIRROR MIRROR | | 99

LINDSAY CHUNG

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

With two years to go until all directors’ financial compensation is reviewed, the Strathcona Regional District (SRD) has come up with a way to clarify municipal directors’ compensation for the next couple of years. During the March 24 SRD board meeting, corporate services manager Tom Yates explained that at its last

meeting, the board directed that staff prepare an amendment bylaw to clarify the calculation of rates for municipal indemnity for 2016 and 2017, which is what this bylaw brought before the board attempts to do. “The method by which it’s proposing to do it is to actually establish a new baseline in 2015,” he told directors. “That essentially would clarify that as of 2015, there is a new benchmark from which

all calculations moving forward would be made.” The baseline quoted for 2015 reflects the rate that was paid in the Comox Valley Regional District (CVRD). “The bylaw confirms the annual indemnity rate paid to municipal directors in 2015 as the new baseline for computing rates into the future in the same manner as currently authorized for electoral area directors,” CAO Dave Leitch wrote in his report to the

board. “On this basis, the annual indemnity rate will rise or fall to reflect adjustments in the consumer price index (CPI) at the beginning of each year.” This bylaw amends the Director Compensation Bylaw from 2013, which fixed the 2015 rate for municipal directors at $12,072 to reflect the amount paid to municipal directors in the CVRD. “Although it is staff ’s belief that the 2015 rate was

intended as a new baseline for calculating future rates, the bylaw is not clear on this point,” wrote Leitch. “The application of a CPI-based formula would be consistent with the approach used for calculating the rates for electoral area directors and the chair.” The bylaw shows the annual indemnity for municipal directors in 2016 would increase 1.1 per cent over the 2015 rate to $12,205. The rate

for 2017 is not known, as the CPI adjustment is unknown. After some discussion about deferring the bylaw until staff provided a report with rates from other comparable regional districts — work board chair John MacDonald and Electoral Area C director Jim Abram said has already been done — directors gave the bylaw three readings and adopted it. Rates for all directors will be reviewed in 2018.

The first Justin Trudeau budget continues the new Liberal government’s epic string of broken promises. Expanding the Canada Pension Plan went by the wayside to start the year, as jacking up payroll taxes wasn’t seen as a good way to respond to rising unemployment. Then there was the national carbon price, which dissolved into a vague commitment to keep working at it with the disagreeing provinces. Now there is the torrent of red ink that washes away the solemn promise that deficits would be no more than $10 billion a year, for no more than three years. According to rookie Finance Minister Bill Morneau’s new guesses, deficits will be $29.4 billion this year, $29 billion next year, $22 billion in 2018 and a mere $17.7 billion in 2019 as the governing party campaigns for re-election. The budget even projects another deficit for the year after, apparently assuming that all this borrowing and spending will deliver another majority government. The campaign promise was built around the claim that

infrastructure spending was needed because the country had slid into deficit and recession. Turns out there was no recession, except in oil-dependent Alberta and Newfoundland, and no deficit until the Liberals opened the spending taps. And what about the promise to cut the federal small business tax from 11 to nine per cent? Priming the engine of job creation and all that? Gone. Not even the i n f r a s t r u c tu re promise is kept. Mo s t o f t h e spending is for ongoi ng pro grams, including “equalization,” even though B.C. appears to be the only “have” province left at the moment. On budget day, the B.C. government sent out Communities Minister Peter Fassbender with strict instructions to bite his tongue about this busted fire hydrant of borrowed money. Fassbender announced that he and Premier Christy Clark are “delighted” at the infrastruc-

ture spending, of which the only identifiable new project for B.C. is a sewer system in North Vancouver. Massey Tunnel replacement? Nope. Transit lines in Vancouver and Surrey? We’re continuing preliminary engineering B.C. work. Widening the Trans-Canada Highway and Highway 16 to Alberta? Maybe these will be promises for the next federal election. Fassbender tap-danced when asked why the only province with a balanced budget should be pleased about a federal pledge to increase the national debt by about a quarter. He kept circling back to his key talking point, that Ottawa didn’t sabotage B.C.’s liquefied natural gas plans by taking away capital cost allowances for this industrial investment. Instead Ottawa is jeopardizing the biggest LNG project by dithering over environmental impacts that have already been

VIEWS

It’s possible the Regional District of Nanaimo’s withdrawal of $1 million from the Island Corridor Foundation does not spell the death of passenger rail service on Vancouver Island. At first glance, it seems to be another domino, a key piece pulled in the house of cards that is the coalition of regional districts and First Nations that are partners in the corridor. More important was the card pulled out of the house by the Snaw-naw-as, who have taken the foundation to court to ask for their land back. Could this still work? Is there a way to re-start the process? It’s possible, from a Nanaimo to Victoria perspective, for the passengerrail plan to be re-born. We say: The North of Nanaimo? Forcurrent model get about it. See the sentence above about the does not work, Nanoose First Nation. time to change it Or the views of those who represent Qualicum Beach, Parksville, Bowser, etc. So, do we north of Nanaimo care about passenger rail service from the Harbour City to Victoria? Sure we do. Just don’t ask us for our tax dollars. There are a few things that have to happen if this train dream is ever going to become a reality. First and foremost are changes in the corridor’s governance, which includes a commitment to transparency. The current model does not work. The 10 First Nations and five regional districts who are partners in the corridor should appoint representatives who are accountable to their councils and the people they represent. They should be able to report any and all corridor business in a timely manner. We understand some land issues must be discussed behind closed doors — that’s also true for municipal councils — but a lack of real transparency is a pine beetle that eventually kills every tree. For example, some say recent conflict-of-interest rulings mean the RDN’s rep on the ICF, because he has been made ICF co-chair, is limited about what he can tell his fellow RDN board members about the business of the ICF. That’s ridiculous. Change the model. – Black Press

studied for three years. The biggest Trudeau promise of all is to rescue the middle class from the awful stagnation inflicted by the Harper years. The title of Morneau’s debut budget is “Growing the Middle Class.” A quick fact check takes me to Statistics Canada’s most recent table of median family income by province. After the 2009 economic crisis (triggered by reckless debt among other things), B.C.’s median income for all family types was $66,970 in 2010, $69,150 in 2011, $71,660 in 2012 and $74,150 in 2013. That’s about the same increase as the national rate – not spectacular, but pretty good considering low inflation. Better than most of the world, in fact. Again, this government is borrowing gobs of money to throw at a problem that may not even exist. At this point I’ve all but given up on the Trudeau government displaying actual competence, for anything other than going to parties and flinging rose petals at climate change. I’d settle for hearing them tell the truth about something.

Last week, the Strathcona Regional District (SRD) board looked at ways to allow direct funding for economic development projects and initiatives in the Sayward Valley. It’s an issue that the board has been looking into since May 2015 to allow a signage project to provide welcome signs at each end of the Sayward Valley to go ahead and on March 24, the board came up with a solution. At its Sept. 15, 2015, meeting, the SRD board passed a resolution to seek an order from the Lieutenant Governor in Council, “which would overcome the difficulties being encountered with approval of Bylaw No. 224 as a result of the transition from the C omox-Strathcona Regional District to the Strathcona Regional District” in an attempt to amend Bylaw No. 224 to allow the direct funding. The SRD most recently heard back from the provincial government on March 9 of this year. The Province requested that the SRD pursue some form of elector approval from the ser-

vice participants, as the government considers the proposed amendment to the SRD’s current bylaw a “significant change in scope of the service” and believes it should be treated as a new service establishment bylaw. SRD staff recommended three options for seeking elector approval. Option A is to seek elector approval for the bylaw, either through an assent voting or alternative approval process. The total elapsed time is about three to four months. Option B is to amend the bylaw to include all of Electoral Area A, with approval to be provided by director consent. The total elapsed time would be about one to two months. Option C is to discontinue further efforts with respect to the bylaw. “From an administrative perspective, Option B provides the most timely resolution to the Sayward Valley sign placement initiative,” CAO Dave Leitch wrote in his report to the board. “However, future years’ expenditures would need to consider the interests of constituents located in other parts of Electoral

Area A since they would be contributing funding for the service. If the board wishes to restrict the authority for project funding to the Sayward Valley, it will need to consider how best to obtain the approval of those electors. If that is the board’s preference, it is suggested that an alternative approval process would be most appropriate for this purpose since no increase in funding is being sought.” Last year, the SRD was hoping to amend the service so it could invest directly in economic development initiatives, rather than being restricted to supporting the efforts of others, then-CAO Russ Hotsenpiller, said in his report to the board. “The current bylaw limits the role of the regional district to that of making financial contributions to other organizations that provide economic development services,” Hotsenpiller wrote in September 2015. “The authority to directly and independently undertake economic development activities and initiatives unrelated to those of other organizations is altogether absent. This would affect the signage initiative proposed

for the Sayward Valley, which was the initial impetus for the change, since the regional district’s ability to directly manager the signage project is constrained to that of financier.” The economic development service application to Electoral Area A is only in effect for the portion of the electoral area on the east side of Vancouver Island formerly known as Electoral Area H (SaywardBloedel), wrote Hotsenpiller. The service is provided under the authority of a bylaw that was adopted by the Comox-Strathcona Regional District and transferred to the Strathcona Regional District when it was created in 2008. At the March 24 board meeting, Electoral Area A (Kyuquot/NootkaSayward) director Gerald Whalley presented an alternate to the options presented by staff. He suggested the board make an arrangement with the Village of Sayward to transfer appropriate Gas Tax Funds to the Village for the entrance signs to the Sayward Valley and leave the service as it is. This was carried by the board.

Do you have good hearing but poor comprehension? Do you sometimes feel that you can hear well, but not fully understand what’s being said? This can be most evident in social conversations and watching television. Fortunately, there may be a solution for some people dealing with this type of hearing loss - the Audéo Venture hearing aid has been designed specifically to help improve speech comprehension without being noticeable in the ear. Poor comprehension in conversation can possibly be caused by undetected hearing loss in the high-frequency range. This means the sensory cells in the cochlea that hear high-range sounds are damaged as a result of circulatory disorders, diabetes, sudden hearing loss or workplace noise. Hearing loss in the high frequency range makes speech sound muffled and unclear making it difficult to hear consonants like s, f, t, k, h and g. Speech comprehension is even more challenging when there is background noise or when television programs have background music. The dilemma is that people with hearing loss in the high-frequency range do not consider themselves to have a hearing problem. They can hear deep tones with no issue,

However, the time soon comes when problems with comprehension become annoying. Phonak Audéo Venture Hearing Aids This past year, Swiss audiologists have developed a hearing aid that can, in qualified candidates, improve speech comprehension for those with hearing loss in the high-frequency range.

The demonstration phase in particular is designed to clarify how speech comprehension can be improved in various situations and what role the hearing aid technology called “Autosense OS” plays. The hearing aid recognizes where the person being spoken to is located and amplifies only his or her voice, while ambient noise is lowered and the optimum hearing programs are seamlessly adjusted. Thanks to several synchronous microphones, the hearing system can detect sound in all directions and select the direction that speech is coming from within milliseconds. According to Swiss researchers, this can significantly improve speech comprehension, especially in conversation for some clients. Want to find out more about the Audéo Venture hearing aid?

Cougars win VIJHL Final in six games The Victoria Cougars are the 2015-16 VIJHL Champions. They captured the Brent Patterson Memorial Trophy on Tuesday night at Rod Brind’Amour Arena, courtesy of a 6-3 victory. It was a hotly contested series, with the Cougars taking the first game, the Storm taking the next two and the South Division Champions finishing off the series in six games. Storm head coach Lee Stone was very complimentary of the Victoria team following the game. “They’ve been this way ever since I showed up in this league,” he said. “They play structured, sound, disciplined hockey. It

doesn’t matter what bodies they put out there, they get the job done.” On Tuesday, Campbell River opened the scoring at 7:09 of the first period. Gage Colpron on the back check forced the puck off Nathan Looysen. He was able to feed Colin Blake, who in turn set up Alex Rosolowsky in the slot. The Storm dominated the first period but Cougars netminder Anthony Ciurro had another strong performance, making great saves in traffic. Almost six minutes into the second frame, Victoria got on the board with a controversial goal but it all depends who was watching the play. Brett Lervold circled the Campbell River goal and fired the puck past Riley

The Campbell River Curling Club recently wrapped up the season with the North Island Co-op Gas Bar Mixed Open. Twenty-four teams participated in the annual bonspiel, which put the finishing touch on another successful season. The A Event sponsored by ABL Electric was won by Ray Michell Rink from the Comox Valley. They played against the Francois Egan rink from Campbell River. The B Event sponsored by Co-op Gas Bar was won by the Lyle Boyce Rink. He was joined by third Lonnie Schopp, second Don Pennell and lead Cynthia Lu. They were up against another local rink, that of Marita Martel. The C Event sponsored

by Home Hardware was won by the Steve Whynott rink from Comox Valley, who against the Nicole McCurrie rink from Campbell River. The D Event sponsored by Van Isle Plumbing was won by the John LaPointe Rink, with third Tammy LaPointe, second Joe Johnson and lead Susan Johnson. This was a great comeback game against the Maday rink from Port Hardy. Event co-ordinator John LaPointe would like to thank Comfort Zone Catering for the great banquet and all the staff and volunteers who helped during the weekend. He sends a huge thank you to all the curlers who participated and especially all the new teams that joined us.

Campbell River Storm forward Josh Coblenz takes a shot on Victoria Cougars' goalie Anthony Ciurro during their VIJHL Final game March 25 in Campbell River. The Cougars won this game 3-2 and then won the next two games to win the series in six games.

Welyk. The net was clearly off as it was leaning at a 30-degree angle on the

back of the Storm goalie. The question was, when did the net move? After

It was a fun-filled weekend of curling, with a great prize table valued at $7,000, and it was a wonderful way to wrap up the season. After the awards ceremony, the club held its annual club appreciation night, where all league winners were recognized and some special awards were handed out. Male Volunteer of the Year was awarded to Gord Gudbranson for his ongoing work with our Junior Program. Female Volunteer of the Year was awarded to Angela Janicki for her work with the Juniors, as well as all Club Activities. The Junior of the Year was awarded to Cody Chamberlin. The Colleen Maga Award for outstanding service was awarded to

long-time staff member Margie Cudmore. To end the night,Terry Kratzmann was given a lifetime membership for his years of immeasurable contribution to the Campbell River Curling Club.

much consultation, the on-ice officials pointed to centre ice and the game

was tied at one. “After that goal, I think we lulled and they started to come back with some momentum. Momentum is so important with these guys and we couldn’t keep it,” said Stone. Cole Slaney scored later in the period for the home team but Cody Hodges replied. After two periods, the two teams were tied at two. The Cougars opened a two-goal lead early in the third on goals from Ryan Lawson and Looysen. Late in the period, Josh Coblenz went end to end and put a blast in the top corner to bring Campbell River to within one. The hopes for a comeback were short-lived. Ryan Carson struck on a rebound and Looysen

found the empty net. Despite Looysen’s twopoints-per-game average in the playoffs, a former Campbell River Tyee, John Kretzschmar, was the best Victoria skater in this series. The Cougars captain accounted for five goals and three assists in the six games. Dom Kolbeins also had a strong run, averaging a point per game. The Storm will still have a chance to defend their Cyclone Taylor Cup title. As host this year, the VIJHL has two entries in the provincial tournament. Campbell River will open the event in Esquimalt on Thursday, April 7 against the Mission City Outlaws of the PJHL. It’s a scheduled 4 p.m. puck drop.

Brussels sprouts make spring better RIDE James Durand

SPIN MY

emember when you were a kid and your parents made you eat brussels sprouts? It was horrible, but the promise of a great dessert was enough to help you force them down and avoid being served those same soggy veggies for breakfast the next morning. Brussels sprouts are still horrible and dessert is still awesome. Luckily, my parents no longer choose my meals

and brussels sprouts haven’t been seen in my house in about 30 years, but I still eat lots of desserts. Sometimes I skip dinner completely and eat only dessert, but the sweets don’t seem as rewarding. This year, I started thinking of the winter we’ve had as brussels sprouts. Its been horrible weather, but I’ve been dreaming of sunny days to keep my mind off the mud, the rain and the wind. It worked for a while and kept me motivated, but the winter seemed to go on forever. It was like a truck load of brussels sprouts and I just couldn’t eat any more. Could any dessert really be worth this? Then last week the rain went away, the sun popped out and the wind died down. It wasn’t like the last few springs we’ve had;

It was way better. Just like at the dinner table all those years ago, after the horrible brussels sprouts, we enjoyed the dessert that much more. The rides I’ve had in the last week felt like some of the best rides ever. In reality, they are just sunny-day rides on dry trails, but after working so hard at surviving such a wet winter, the riding just feels like a big reward, like the most decadent dessert ever! So reward yourselves for battling through such a wet and nasty winter. Grab your bike and head out in the sun for a couple hours. Road rides, trail rides or even just cruising along the seawalk will feel amazing, especially after all those brussels sprouts this winter. I’m James Durand and I’m Goin’ Ridin’.
