Two school district fountains removed after failing water testing MIKE DAVIES CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

PHOTO BY KELLY DOMBROWSKY

Boaters had difficulty launching their boats at Big Rock Boat Launch during last Friday’s low tide. Here a boat is marooned inside the breakwater because the outlet channel is too shallow. Meanwhile, boats can be seen in Discovery Passage waiting for the rising tide.

Boat launch improvements can’t come soon enough for some MIKE DAVIES CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The low tides last weekend made getting boats in and out of Discovery Passage even more difficult than usual for boaters trying to enjoy one of the first nice weekends of spring. This prompted yet another call from boaters for the state of the boat launches – specifically Big

Rock Boat Launch – to be addressed sooner rather than later. Allison Galloway and her husband David say they launched from the Big Rock ramp about 9:30 a.m. last Friday morning (April 8) to go prawning, and were coming back a few hours later in an attempt to beat low tide – which was expected about 12:30 p.m. Unfortunately for the Galloways, the tide was already

too low to risk bringing the trailer down the ramp. “The gravel on the ramp was like a foot or two deep,” Galloway says. “We might have been able to get the trailer down into there, but even if we did, once the extra weight from the boat was on it, we’d have been stuck and would’ve needed a tow truck to come get us out.” Their boat ended up bottoming

out while the tide went out underneath them. Once it had come back in and they were afloat again, they headed for the ramp at Discovery Harbour Marina, where they paid their $10 to get out of the water. “We like to tout that we’re this amazing fishing destination,” Galloway says, “and the fact of the matter is that we just don’t have the ameContinued on Pg. 6

After high levels of lead were found in the drinking water of 48 per cent of locations in the Prince Rupert School District this past February, school districts around the province have been testing their own drinking water for contaminants to find out if they, too, needed to take steps to mitigate this possible health issue. Deputy Minister of Education Dave Byng sent a letter to all school districts in the province after the Prince Rupert situation came to light in the media, saying, “At the request of the Provincial Health Officer, I am writing to remind all school districts of the importance of ensuring water quality within all schools complies with Water Management Best Practices and the Drinking Water Protection Act.” Secretary-Treasurer of the Campbell River School District (SD72) Kevin Patrick revealed to the board of education at this week’s public meeting that testing has been completed across our district and all but two locations came back, “well within compliance and safety levels.”

City seeking more information on proposed landfill KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The city has a lengthy list of questions and concerns it wants answered by Upland Excavating about a proposed soil remediation facility that some residents are concerned will threaten the city’s drinking water. City staff have outlined 26 different areas of concern in a letter to Upland Excavating that question Upland’s plans for snow management, control of invasive plants and noxious weeds, fire protection, wildlife management when it comes to birds using leachate ponds, and other concerns. The letter was drafted by Terri Martin, the city’s environmental coordinator, and Nathalie Viau, the city’s water supervisor. The pair state that they recognize the value in Upland’s proposal to expand its operations and accept non-hazardous contaminated soil at its existing landfill but at the same time are doing their due diligence to ensure citizens are not being put at risk. “The City of Campbell River recognizes that there is a need for a local solution for the disposal of contaminated soil and asbestos, as opposed to having the materials hauled to other communities and water-

sheds,” Martin and Viau write. “At the same time, any proposed facility has the potential to have environmental impacts of concern and the city must feel confident that every precaution has been considered to avoid impacts to the community’s drinking watershed as well as the Quinsam River, Cold Creek and the environment.” Upland has submitted a waste discharge application to the Ministry of Environment for an Operational Certificate to accommodate a landfill on Upland-owned lands at 7295 Gold River Highway that would treat and deposit up to 500,000 cubic metres of non-hazardous solid waste, such as construction, demolition and land-clearing materials, including asbestos. Members of the Campbell River Environmental Committee (CREC) are concerned about the proposed landfill’s proximity to Rico Lake and McIvor Lake, which is connected

to the city’s drinking water system. Leona Adams, a member of the Environmental Committee, has said the proposed waste landfill site straddles a large aquifer, which is hydraulically connected with Rico and McIvor lakes. The city is seeking clarification from Upland on conflicting reports on whether or not Rico Lake drains to McIvor Lake – part of the city’s drinking watershed – as a hydrology report prepared for Upland sates that “the eastern extent of Rico Lake encroaches onto the site.” Coun. Charlie Cornfield said at Monday night’s council meeting that he’s observed that Rico Lake is “much higher” than McIvor and that “water is flowing from Rico to McIvor which is our watershed.” Cornfield said he’s concerned that if Rico Lake is lower than the Upland property, there may be the “potential for the water to move the leach-

They also are urging Upland to conduct periodic surface water sampling at Rico and McIvor lakes. T h e y a d d e d t h at Upland will likely need to acquire a rezoning from the city in order to permit such a use on its property. The rezoning would trigger a permit process that requires an Environmental Impact Assessment which assesses the risks and evaluates the effects of the project.

Regional district denounces ‘inexcusable’ behaviour KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Strathcona Regional District directors say n e g at i v e m e s s a g e s directed at the Tlowitsis Nation are “totally unacceptable” and “inexcusable.” Dave Leitch, chief administrative officer of the regional district, said he has reached out to the Nation to apologize. “I personally spoke to Mr. (Thomas) Smith and expressed regret about how this rolled out,” Leitch said. He added that himself and board chair John MacDonald are planning to meet with Smith, a Tlowitsis councillor, next week to further discuss the Tlowitsis’ proposal to establish a reserve on property on the north side of York Road, west of Henry Road. It’s a proposal that has been met with concern

and in some cases, resistance, by York Road residents who only became aware of the plan three weeks ago. A t We d n e s d a y ’s regional district board meeting, directors said they were upset by ‘No Rez’ messages spray painted on signs marking the proposed development site as well as on the road nearby. Director Charlie Cornfield said it makes the entire regional district look bad. “I was very, very disappointed with the reaction,” Cornfield said. “That type of behaviour is unacceptable. I was embarrassed by it. It does terrible things for us and we’re all tarred with that brush.” Are a D D i re c tor Brenda Leigh told the board she also was “dismayed” by the actions of a few. Director Andy Adams

took it a step further and directed regional district staff to send a letter to the Tlowitsis on behalf of the board expressing its “sincere regret about the negative comments received.” Adams said it was an “inexcusable response” and that he had already reached out to the Tlowitsis as mayor of Campbell River. Tahsis Director Jude Schooner agreed the response was unacceptable. “I think everyone at this table has been disturbed,” she said. The push back was in response to the Tlowitsis’ proposal to establish a home community for 100 of its roughly 425 members on TimberWest property it has agreed to purchase. Area D residents who packed a meeting between the electoral area directors last week

voiced concerns that they had not been consulted on the proposal which only came to light because the Tlowitsis asked the regional district for a letter of support to go with its application to the federal government for an Additions to Reserves. In a letter written by Smith to the regional district last week, he explained that the regional district, and Leigh, who had met with the Tlowitsis in December to receive preliminary plans, were not legally able to say anything. “It was not our intention to put Director Leigh in a difficult spot,” Smith wrote. “The Tlowitsis were under a legal obligation to the vendor not to disclose information regarding this transaction until we met certain milestones within the

sale agreement.” Thomas, in his letter, also tried to put residents’ minds at ease with regards to the schematic land use plan. “The Nation has not completed a formal plan for commercial development at this time,” he wrote. “There is no planned industrial park for the property in the foreseeable future. The schematic only illustrates what may be possible in any future economic developments. Any land development once these lands become reserve will require pre-approval by Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada as these lands will be under the jurisdiction of the federal crown.” Smith said the Nation is nearing completion of its application to the federal government for Additions to Reserves which he said is not a simple process and

requires many studies and assessments to meet the Additions to Reserves requirements. Leigh told the board on Wednesday that the process also requires consultation with the community and local government. Leigh has given regional district staff a list of nearly 30 items of concern that staff are expected to report back on and bring back to the earliest possible electoral area directors’ meeting. Smith, meanwhile, said he hopes that the regional district, residents and the Tlowitsis can all move forward amicably. “We are truly hopeful that we can live together in a civil and respectful manner,” Smith said. “We want to be as open and clear as we can within the limits of the law and our responsibilities to our Tlowitsis members.”

nities to back that up. It’s ridiculous that it’s April and we can’t get in and out of the water properly at one of the major ramps.” Ross Milnthorp, the city’s general manager of Parks, Recreation and Culture, says the ramp regularly gets filled up with gravel and sediment, and they clear it out following a plan that was developed with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and put in place in 2011 to redistribute this material to other areas of the waterfront. This work is being

Sofa & Love Seat

done now, Milnthorp says. “This year there was an unusual volume of material – sediment and gravel – and it was deposited much earlier than usual,” Milnthorp says, adding that much of the material was removed from the ramp section itself on Tuesday of this week, “but we need an especially low tide to get the rest of it and do it thoroughly,” so they will be getting back out to finish the job at their first opportunity. The other public, free boat launch – Ken Forde Park in Willow Point – should also be cleaned up and ready for boats on or around May 1,

Milnthorp says, depending on the weather and tides. The material removed during this process is used to naturally replenish the shore in the areas it would naturally wash up were the boat launches not in the way. The public boat launch situation – specifically, the upgrading of the Big Rock Boat Launch – has been a source of contention for years. Council has been searching for funding to help with the cost of fixing the situation there, to no avail. The city received nine bids in 2012 from companies who wanted to work on the project, but

none came in under the budget that had been set at the time. Additional funding has been sought as recently as last summer, when the city applied for funding through the Canada 150 fund to try and get a piece of the $150-million available for community infrastructure projects, but that funding wasn’t approved, either. So where are we now on that upgrade? “The design for the upgrade (at Big Rock Boat Launch) is what’s called shovel-ready,” Milnthorp says, “and we are constantly scanning for grants – both federally and provincially – which might be appli-

cable for its construction, but it’s going to cost about $1 million, so we really need some form of federal or provincial funding to make it happen.” Milnthorp says the city has put aside $500,000 for its portion of the expected cost of the project, “and as soon as the other half of the necessary funding is available, it’s a go.” That upgrade, Milnthorp says, will consist of a widening of the ramp so more than one boat can be loaded at once, a fish cleaning station, as well as parking lot paving and other landscaping needs around the launch.

B.C.’s fifth modern treaty took effect April 5, formalizing self-government for the Tla’amin Nation on B.C.’s Sunshine Coast. The settlement includes Crown and reserve land in the Powell River area, in a traditional territory that includes Lasqueti, Texada and Cortes Islands as well as Comox on Vancouver Island. It transfers 6,405 hectares of former provincial Crown land, including forest and mineral rights, plus a $33.9 million capital transfer and a $7.9 million economic development fund. Since the agreement was signed two years ago, the Tla’amin have endorsed a constitution that Chief Clint Williams said ensures transparent and accountable government. “I think it gives us a little more leverage in speaking with B.C. and Canada, as we will own the land that we’re trying to conduct business on,” Williams said. Tla’amin elder Elsie Paul had a more personal take on the long-awaited treaty. “We can’t be stuck where we’ve been stuck forever, where we’re on reserve land, just for

us,” she said. “It feels like you’re trapped there. And hopefully, those gates have opened, to also welcome people to come to our community. “Because in the past, in my growing up years, we never had friends, people from Powell River or anywhere else. We were not allowed to have visitors, and we were not allowed to mingle in town with white people.” C ommunities can also look to the example of the Tsawwassen First Nation, which has attracted $1 billion in new investment since its treaty was implemented in 2009. Aboriginal Relations Minister John Rustad said the Tla’amin treaty shows the B.C. Treaty Commission is still working, despite having gone without a chief commissioner since the province refused to appoint one a year ago. Rustad said that was a signal from the B.C. government that it can’t carry on at the current

pace, which has seen one treaty on average every three years. “And so if you do the extrapolation, we have 203 bands, that’s over 600 years of negotiations,” Rustad told me. “And even if we could find a way to accelerate that to the point we’re celB.C. where ebrating a new treaty every year, that is still 200 years of negotiations. “And that is why we didn’t go forward with a chief commissioner. We have to find a way to be able to do something more effectively.” It gets worse. The Lheidli T’enneh First Nation near Prince George completed a treaty after years of work, only to see it rejected by a community vote in 2007. Efforts to hold a second vote have gone nowhere. And the Yale First Nation was to implement its treaty this month, but the new council for the 160-member village in the Fraser Canyon confirmed

Making treaties in under 600 years

VIEWS

There’s a strong movement afoot, led by the B.C. Federation of Labour, to raise this province’s minimum wage to $15 an hour. On the surface, having the lowest minimum wage in Canada, when our provincial government boasts that our economy is one of the best performing in the country, makes no sense and is the height of unfairness. It says that the rich are getting richer, on the backs of working-class citizens. While it would be great if everyone could make more money, it’s not as simple as arguing that people making $10.45 an hour need more money to pull them out of apparent poverty. Pushing the minimum wage up to $15 in one fell swoop, as the B.C. Fed is asking for, could have unintended consequences. Would it force small businesses to lay employees off, or worse, shut down due to the higher cost of labour? Or would they simply raise prices significantly to cover the additional cost? Either move could potentially have a net We say: No one negative effect on the wants to see economy, with either less poverty continue people working or goods become less affordable to grow for those at the bottom end of the wage scale. According to the B.C. Fed, about 6.4 per cent of workers in our province make minimum wage, with more than half of those women (63 per cent) and 10,000 of them seniors. We’d all like to see income equality for women and we’d certainly like to see seniors be able to retire on their pensions. That 6.4 per cent equates to about 120,000 people. But many of those are young people in their first job, for example, or bar and restaurant servers for whom tips can raise their income substantially – although bar servers’ lower minimum of $9.20 per hour cuts into that. The question is, does it make sense to increase the minimum wage more than 40 per cent at one time for a relatively small number of workers, when the consequences could force all of us to pay more for goods and services? It’s anybody’s guess how such a move might play out here in B.C., and how long it would take to have an effect. Certainly no one wants to see poverty continue to be a growth industry. The need for the government to move more quickly on raising minimum wage is less about the optics of the national rankings and more about allowing more workers to gain more buying power. The province should set the goal of getting to $15 an hour, but do it in a way that allows business to adjust on a more gradual basis. -Black Press

to Rustad last week that they want out. The Yale agreement has been controversial from the start, with the larger Sto:lo Nation viewing the community as a splinter group controlling fishing sites contested for thousands of years. But the new Yale council is more sympathetic to the Sto:lo, so the latest setback could turn into a positive. There have been previous efforts to deal with aboriginal rights and title on a broader scale. The latest one foundered after aboriginal leaders rejected a province-wide proposal offered by former premier Gordon Campbell. Similar to the Sto:lo, the Tla’amin have a history of territorial overlap with the Klahoose, Sechelt and others. Paul said there is a tradition of working together in her home region. We’re building relationships with our neighbours, as well as building relationships with our neighbouring First Nations communities,” she said.

City council re-commits to backing homelessness advocacy groups

12 || CAMPBELL CAMPBELL RIVER RIVER MIRROR MIRROR || FRIDAY, FRIDAY, APRIL APRIL 15, 15, 2016 2016 12

MIKE DAVIES

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Advocates for the city’s homeless community — many of which have been camped out on the lawns of City hall for the past two weeks — got their chance to present to council this week and brought with them a petition signed by over 850 members of the community requesting the city do more to help. Organizers with the Grassroots Kind Hearts Society (GKH) Krissandra Rufus and Dianne Palmer told council Monday night that they are happy the city has committed to making changes to the downtown core — such as the beautification and revitalization projects being undertaken — and they feel their goals align with that plan, as well. “Our society helps those vulnerable members within the community that are visible in the downtown core that you hope to beautify,” Palmer said in her address to council. Palmer then cited a 2013 report entitled

“The State of Homelessness in Canada,” which assessed the cost of homelessness in Canada at $7 billion annually and called for the city to be proactive instead of reactive in its approach to the problem. “This estimate is based on the cost of reacting to homelessness instead of addressing the root causes of it and taking a proactive approach,” Palmer said. “Reactionary solutions are expensive and typically involve a greater use of emergency services such as law enforcement, courts and prisons, emergency healthcare, longer hospital stays, etc.” Palmer said a proactive approach — which she says would be a far less expensive proposition than the reactive ones taken by most governments — would be the creation of a permanent facility within downtown Campbell River “that would allow for a place for us to serve hot meals, where the coffee is always on, and there is always a warm and dry place to sleep — one that in the future

may involve sobering beds and other, likeminded organizations working together in an effort to provide what is needed to assist our friends and family living on the streets.” The group had three specific requests for council: that council continue to pressure BC Housing into making temporary shelter beds available until such time as a permanent facility can be built, that a place be granted to the group near that temporary shelter location for them to continue to serve meals, and that council commit to working with the group to find a location for this proposed permanent facility. Mayor Andy Adams responded by saying, on behalf of council, “I don’t think there is any question council will endeavour to comply with all of the requests you have just presented.” BC Housing, Adams said, has committed to providing the community with six sobering assessment beds — a commitment for which he said he is very pleased

— “but what we haven’t got confirmation on and are continuing to try to get the details of is when the request for proposals will be issued, when the call for that will close, what is the likelihood of who the successful proponent fort that call for proposals is and when that can actually happen.” “I can assure you that council supports all the initiatives you’re talking about and much more,” Adams continued. “But I also want to confirm, as I have said previously, that council is limited to the models that we have been successful using in the past,” which is the city offering land, waiving development permit and licensing fees, hooking up services such as water, sewer and power. “However it is the provincial government who must come to the table with the funding to either purchase or construct a facility and provide the operating funds. That’s what we are going to continue to work for so that there is a long-term, permanent solution.”

50 cents from every “12” sold at Campbell River McDonald’s Restaurants during the month of April will be donated to the Campbell River Hospital Foundation and the Ronald McDonald House BC.

Thomas G.S. Longridge

Superintendent & CEO, School District 72

It is with great pride that School District 72 honours Carihi Secondary’s 50th anniversary. From the school’s official opening in January 1966, Carihi Secondary has been known for being an innovative, inspiring, and encouraging learning environment. Carihi’s first principal, John Young also inspired an atmosphere of acceptance and creativity which, to this day, remain hallmarks of the Carihi school culture. Having been fortunate enough to have served as a vice-principal at the school myself, as well as having had one of my daughters attend Carihi Secondary, I can attest to how these attributes make Carihi such a special place. Beyond the school’s diversity and acceptance however, Carihi Secondary is also known for its high academic standing and outstanding athletics, theatre and band programs. Today the school also houses many other exciting, unique programs; testaments to both the creativity and innovation of the educators and students who have graced its classrooms. Programs such as Forestry, Nautical Sciences, and the Hockey Academy are only recent examples of how Carihi Secondary has been ahead of the curve when it comes to providing students with the type of engaging, personalized learning that the province’s redesigned curriculum aspires towards. Carihi Secondary students and teachers have an embedded culture of service and giving back. Over the years, many Carihi graduates have been extremely successful in their pursuits and have returned, like Tyees returning to the stream, to build successful careers and families in the community. As a school district, we are extremely proud of all that Carihi has and continues to contribute to Campbell River. Congratulations to all current and past Carihi Secondary staff and students on this milestone.

Sean Toal Principal of Carihi Secondary School Carihi Secondary School has seen a lot in its 50 years since students travelled from the current Phoenix site over to the Dogwood location in January of 1966. The school has rich traditions of acceptance, individuality, and innovation which has been the reason for much to celebrate as we look back on the impact Carihi has had on the community of Campbell River since it came into being. While there can be some confusion as to when Carihi became Carihi (we believe it was around 1984 with an official name change from Campbell River Senior Secondary School, which was in existence before the move to Dogwood), the one thing we are sure of is that we are extremely proud of our school and the accomplishments of our students over this past 50 years. As someone who has been at Carihi for the past 5 years, I have been amazed with the culture of tolerance and the display of amazing talent that our students bring, and I am proud to be the principal of this school. It is a school that understands the importance of strong, respectful relationships and as I have said many times, it is a school that would measure up against any school in the province because we pay attention to the important things such as care and understanding that nurture a strong learning environment. It seems that this attitude has been prevalent in our building since the beginning. In reading some reflections by May Tuningley, she recalls an incident where a student in the fall of 1967 tells another student that dropped some litter on the floor, that “we don’t do that here,” and interestingly enough on my first day of classes, some 45 years later, I experienced the same thing when a senior student intervened between 2 new students who were having a bit of a heated discussion in the hallway…she looked at the 2 students and said “we don’t do that here.” A great example of how our students then and now have taken ownership of the school they want Carihi to be – that is what makes our school a thing to celebrate. I hope that you can make some time on the evening of April 21, to join us in celebrating 50 great years of Carihi accomplishments. We will celebrate in the Carihi way with great examples of student talent (current and former) on display, great food, and many examples of our school’s successes.

Reflections on the Early Years at Carihi By May Tuningley

hen Carihi opened, I transferred from what is now Phoenix. I retired in 1974. So my remarks will deal with the John Young era. That snow-covered January day in 1966, all the students and teachers together walked from Phoenix – where we had been on shift – to the Dogwood entrance of our new school. We were imitating the great UBC Trek. When we arrived, John Young instructed everyone to take off their snow boots and overshoes. We were proud of our new school. For years there was no graffiti on the walls of our washrooms, and the following September when a new student threw a candy wrapper on the floor, a last year’s old timer said, “We don’t do that here.” When I left Carihi eight years later there had been no vandalism. Carihi respected its school. This was the first school built in Campbell River where the teachers had influenced the design. I wanted bulletin boards that I could cover with attractive learning displays and also use to block out the light for film projection. Someone must have been impressed with the concept and that is why all classrooms are equipped with bulletin board blackouts. Paul Wilson and Van Egan

spent a great deal of time getting labs built to their specifications. When the last bell of the day rang, John Young always made a point of walking through the halls and talking to the students. When teachers performed in some way which John Young considered outstanding, they found a letter in their boxes telling them so. I expect he did the same for students. At first, John Young’s philosophy of education seemed traditional, emphasing hard work that got results. He was very upset with what we called “seat warmers,” students who couldn’t be inspired to work in spite of everyone’s best efforts. He decided to “kick them out.” I’m sure that teachers even today would enjoy an urban myth which floated around at the time; it was reported that a teacher had written on a report card: “This student is wasting your time, his time, my time, and the taxpayers’ money.” However, some parents were not so delighted with the “work or split” method, especially those whose children were not performing. Today it

1967

would be interesting to get the opinion of those students, who are now adults. It must have been about 1967 that John Young decided to post honour rolls in the hall, but he added a new twist. Any student who made the honour roll was allowed to attend classes or not as he/ she decided in his/her best interest. I believe this had a positive effect on learning. Anyway, John Young thought so and some months later he decided that all students would be allowed to attend classes at will and “freedom with responsibility” was born. John Young would have known better than I what triggered his imagination to produce this program. However, I will digress with a little social history which may have been an influence on the belief that, if we let them be so, Grade 11 and 12 students would behave as adults. When he was a youngster himself – and my youth approximates his – the majority of children, especially in rural Canada – and Canada was then

mostly rural – quit school at about age 15. Boys did a man’s work and they were treated as men. Most girls were married women with children before they left their teen years behind. Unfortunately, a change in economic and social conditions had spawned a new generation, and given freedom. Some fell through the cracks of responsibility. John Young was not one to hide his light under a bushel. His speeches hit the headlines across the country. “High Schools are Jails” and “High School Students are Young Men and Women.” He was on TV, in MacLeans and other papers across Canada. He was in demand as a public speaker inside and outside the province. Canada took a new and different view of its schools, with a focus on the students. That is the reason I believed that John Young had done more for public education than any previously nationallyknown educator. After 22 years of retirement, my judgement has tempered somewhat, mainly

because I can recall only two other nationallyknown educators. The more John Young said that schools were jails, the more the teachers across the country knew that their schools could be better and they looked at the students with new eyes. In the meantime, Carihi was “on the map.” Many prominent people from across Canada visited our school: David Suzuki; Tony Parsons with his TV crews; Clare Culhane, the prisoners’ advocate; Chief Dan George, the actor; a group of principals from some eastern province; the youngest ever MP from Manitoba (I forget his name); and Tommy Douglas. People from the community could and often did find their way to the staff room: Rod Haig-Brown, Tom Hudson, Ed Robinson, a photographer from the Courier, and many others. Students were welcome in the staff room at will and some did come there. Students from other communities and provinces came to

register at Carihi. Academically speaking, I’m not sure how successful these students became, but I know that the adult students from Campbell River, returning to get their Grade 12 certificates, benefitted all concerned. They had a salutary effect on the younger students and those older students who were also parents reported that mixing with teenagers helped them to broaden their minds to understand their own children. At least a couple of mothers graduated with their son or daughter. These returning adults

exhibited a lot of courage by enrolling in a high school. I do not think as many would have done so under the former regimented system. One year, I think we had just under 20 such adults enrolled. I think Carihi had the climate which made the grand experiment work. It was a small school, only 230 students the first year. All students were in the three upper grades, 11, 12, and 13. The school was new. John Young had chosen all the teachers who worked there. Throughout his tenure, Reflections cont. next pg

reflections continued... the staff concerned met future applicants to the staff and had some influence on the hiring. By 1970 that staff had grown from 13 in 1966 to 38. At Carihi we were a team and our self-esteem and enthusiasm was enormous. I don’t want our audience to think that working with John Young was without the occasional stress. His personality saw to that. For example, he let it be known that if he could, he would only hire male teachers. Now I wonder why the female teachers who treated the remark merely with contempt did not challenge him more vigorously. John Young proclaimed that history was a useless subject. You can imagine how this went down with Miss Bunting. However, he always highly respected her as a teacher – he just didn’t like her subject, or understand it.

Although few students, May still supporting students on her www.CampbellRiverMirror.com as I recall, skipped my www.CampbellRiverMirror.com 100th birthday classes, I did at times find the system somewhat stressful, for I wanted the students to know as much as I did and, if possible, perform the skill subjects better. Some of you might agree that this is a laudable credo. Now, I think a better one would be to inspire the student to do his/her personal best.

How does it work? Property owners have monthly payments automatically withdrawn from their bank account starting in August and ending in May. The annual tax notice mailed at the end of May shows taxes due, less total pre-payments and interest earned on the 10 installments. The balance owing is withdrawn from the bank account on the tax due date in July.

Carihi prevails in longest running high school tournament The Carihi Senior Girls S o ccer te am enjoyed a superb Plate win in the 20th Annual Investors Group Invitational hosted at Carihi and the Sportsplex last week. The tournament is the longest standing High School Invitational in B.C. The number of teams traveling from the Mainland showed how highly it is regarded. The opening round of games between 16 teams determines whether they move to the top side of the tournament and the Cup or the lower side, the Plate. Carihi was matched up against Stelly’s ranked #3 in Victoria AAA world. It proved to be an excellent game of soccer which saw two evenly matched teams battle hard. Stelly’s managed to get the winner in the last minute of regulation time.The result saw Carihi head into the Plate and their next game was against St. Partick’s. The Vancouver team put up a spirited fight but the Tyees prevailed to secure a 1-0 win with the lone goal coming from Emma Skalik. The next morning the Tyees faced St.

‘The voice of the Storm’ reflects on the season www.CampbellRiverMirror.com www.CampbellRiverMirror.com

the regular season with a 38-6-2 record and 80 points, good for first in the North Division and second in the VIJHL behind the Victoria Cougars, who had 84 points and a 41-5-1 record. After finishing second to to the Cougars in the VIJHL Final, the Storm won a bronze medal at the Cyclone Taylor Cup last weekend. Although it might not be the result they had hoped for, Berry still considers this a good season. “Coming off a season where they were West-

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

As the voice of the Campbell River Storm, Mark Berry has a pretty unique perspective on this year’s team. He has watched and analyzed each game closely and interviewed Storm players and coaches countless times. And from his point of view, even though the Storm didn’t repeat as Cyclone Taylor Cup champions this year, there was lots to cheer about. The Storm finished

ern Canadian champions and won it all, with the caliber of the teams, particularly in B.C., it’s really difficult to repeat,” he said. “For me, it’s ups and downs but overall, it’s been a positive year.” When Berry thinks back at this past season, there are a few distinct moments that stick in his mind. One moment he’ll remember was a “horrendous” 13-0 loss to the Victoria Cougars back in October. “That was a turnaround for the team,” he said. “They were medio-

cre at that point, but they turned the table after that.” An on-ice highlight for Berry came Feb. 6 when the Storm played the Comox Valley Glacier Kings down at the Comox Valley Sports Centre. When starting goaltenders Jake Mullen and Riley Welyk were injured, the Storm put 16-year-old Jaydlin Spooner in goal in her first Junior B game. The team won the game and Spooner was named the game’s first star. “For me, what was so

Nobody likes the walk of shame We have all been there, ripping along on a great ride only to realize you have no traction, the ride just got a little sketchy and the air leaking out of your tire sounds like an air compressor at full pressure This completely ruins the flow of your ride, but if you’re lucky, you have the skill and equipment to make the repair and continue on. Many times though, the ride is over and you are now forced to do the walk of shame while pushing your bike all the way home on a flat tire. You can also cause damage to your tire or

your rim during a flat. Sometimes its hard to get stopped quickly enough and before you know it, you’re cracking open the wallet for a new tire, or worse, a

major wheel repair. No mater how you look at it, flats suck! So what can we do to eliminate them? Go tubeless… Removing your tube and converting your wheels to tubeless is a great way to eliminate almost all flats and it’s easy and inexpensive. It’s as simple as removing the tube, sealing up the rim and reinstalling the tire with some “slime” and a special valve. Not only have you avoided the possibility of tube punctures (no tube to puncture), but the slime also fills small leaks that

may occur in the tire during your rides. You now have a bike that is almost puncture proof, a tire that is more supple and you have the option to ride with lower pressures to enhance your traction and ability on the trails. So if you hate flats as much as I do, check out the tubeless options. Most bikes are ready to convert to tubeless and for only about 45 bucks per wheel. A small price to pay for such a huge improvement. I’m James Durand and I’m Goin’ Ridin’

incredible was how hard that team fought in what was a nothing game in the standings,” he said. “I talked to the players and they’ll remember it forever.” Another memorable moment for Berry came last weekend during the Cyclone Taylor Cup, as the teams sang the national anthem at the start of the game. “I’ve never seen a group of young men sing so loud,” he said. “It speaks to their character. It caught me off-guard; I could hear them in the stands.” One of the things that Berry will remember the most from this season doesn’t have anything to do with scoring goals, blocking shots or winning faceoffs. It’s the support the players provided each other. He remembers one particular moment back in January when Keenan Scardina, who had been out since November, came back from an injury. His first shift back was “horrible,” and Berry remembers that as he was coming back to the bench, he had his head

down and you could tell he was feeling down. His teammates and coaches didn’t let him stay down on himself. “It wasn’t one guy or two — everyone was patting him on the back and saying ‘it will be OK,’ said Berry. “You could see it right through to the end; they didn’t turn on each other when things went bad. They always supported each other.” Berry considers January, when the team had so many injuries, to be a turning point for the team. Injuries continued to plague the team throughout the season and Berry found out this week just how many team members were dealing with injuries or illness during the playoffs. “You don’t just measure a season by wins and losses; you often measure it by the adversity a team faces, and this is a team that faced a lot of adversity,” he said. While Berry has been volunteering for the Storm for five or six years, this was his first year doing the volunteer play by play commentary

for the team. “I don’t regret a minute of it,” he said. “For me, it’s not the play by play. We had a nephew play junior hockey and I know how important it is to families — that’s who the broadcasts go to, the families to catch a glimpse or make sure they’re OK.” Berry can’t say enough about the community and fan support. “It’s one of the bestattended Junior B franchises in B.C.,” he said, noting the team averaged 925 fans in an arena that seats 1,000 during the regular season. “When you talk to the players, that’s one of the reasons they are here.” With such fan support and incredible coaching, Berry feels the team will continue to attract firstrate players. “It’s a testament to the organization, from top to bottom, that they get it — this is about the fans and the young men following their dream, on the ice and behind the bench,” he said. “It’s a great organization. I’m so excited to be part of it.”

Campbell River

We are fortunate to live and fish in this beautiful part of the world we know as Campbell River. When it comes to tourists visiting the area each year many come from countries where fishing licences are not required. On Discovery Pier I had met a couple with children who wanted to go fishing. When I explained what was needed they decided to put the fishing on hold. I get many inquiries each week about fishing and the many questions people ask are varied and very interesting. The most common question is: do I need a fishing guide to go fishing? The answer is no, there are many residents of Campbell River and area that own boats and go fishing. When it comes to purchasing fishing tackle you can spend as much as you can afford and go from there. Darren Sampson caught a 14-pound spring off Discovery Pier at 11 a.m. last Friday using a Gibbs Minnow lure. Last year, bigger fish were caught at the end of April and it goes to show if you spend time fishing off the pier and many anglers spend countless hours and they are rewarded with a salmon. Meanwhile, last week in Sayward a 33-pound halibut was caught off the Kelsey Bay Wharf and a bigger one in the 70 plus range were hooked.

Lingcod and rockfish in Areas 12, 13 to 19, 20 and 29 will open May 1 until Sept. 30. Daily limit is is one and possession limit is two and size limit is 65 cms. For rockfish there is no size limit. There is an extended opening for Chinooks in areas 13-22and the waters of Bute Inlet will remain open to the retention of Chinooks for the month of May, 2016.
