Council split on redevelopment of Tyee Plaza www.CampbellRiverMirror.com www.CampbellRiverMirror.com

KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

City council is divided on eliminating parking stalls in Tyee Plaza to make way for new development. Two councillors urged council to hold off on supporting the removal of a portion of the plaza parking lot from a Crown Grant parking requirement while another accused the city of putting up barriers to development. The owner has submitted an application to the B.C. ministry of forests, lands and natural resources to have parking stalls immediately surrounding Spirit Square and in front of the Art Gallery and Visitor Information Centre removed from a 1969 grant agreement with the province that the land be used for free public parking. The owner intends to develop a mixed-use residential building adjacent to Spirit Square much to the dismay of Coun. Charlie Cornfield who said he has a number of concerns with the proposal, most notably that the public has not been consulted. “I have a great deal of problems when such a major change is occurring to the downtown and it hasn’t been part of that public engagement

process,” Cornfield said. “I think it’s premature to adjust the parking. As a councillor, I’m elected to serve the public interest and I believe there’s a need for a decent-sized open space downtown that can be used for many different activities. “The building being proposed is right adjacent to Spirit Square. Are we then going to have the people living there complaining about the music from the Thursday night concerts?” Cornfield said. “Once the restriction is removed from the title, we lose that open space. So I would urge council to move very carefully and consider all the implications of making a decision that I consider premature. I would also urge the public to make their comments because to date, we’ve avoided public engagement on this proposal.” While the owner at this stage is only applying to free up land for a second residential building in Tyee Plaza (the first will be built on the former SuperValu site), conceptual plans show a new complex that could house a new library, a new Information Centre and Art Gallery as well as a retail/restaurant space with a patio. The building is proposed to be built in between Spirit Square and the existing

parking stalls in the plaza which are to be reconfigured from angled to perpendicular parking to increase the amount of parking stalls from 523 to 535. Coun. Larry Samson questioned who would pay for the re-location of the Art Gallery and Visitor Centre and said he’s concerned the plan will forever change the area around Spirit Square. “We’re doing all these engagements and open houses and yet we’re going to sit here and make a significant decision without listening to the public, so I think it’s wrong,” Samson said. “Once we take this out of the parking zone you’ll

no longer walk up to Spirit Square – there will be a four-storey building in front of it; you’ll have to come in through different routes. I’m not saying it’s a bad thing, I’m saying let’s give it some thought. Let’s look at all the repercussions and what we want to see in our downtown. That’s why we’re going through all the exercises and open houses on our downtown, and by doing this, we’re cutting it short.” Other councillors, including councillors

“Although I do understand the public purse… if we’re looking for developers to do their part and put money in, then we have to be fair as well,” Babchuk said. Mayor Andy Adams reminded council that specific development plans, such as landscaping, form and character, will all still go through council as the owner will have to apply for and obtain a major development permit prior to construction of any new buildings in the plaza. “I want to stay focused on what the request is,” Adams said. “This is a request only on the question of the parking within the area. So with that, it’s more why would we not want to entertain the flexibility to continue discussions with the public and with this developer, or any other developer, for potential redesign and redevelopment to revitalize our downtown.” In the end, council voted to support the Tyee Plaza owner’s application to remove the portion in question from the Crown parking requirement, with councillors Cornfield and Samson opposed.

Colleen Evans and Marlene Wright, pointed out that at the Refresh Downtown public sessions, revitalizing Tyee Plaza kept coming up as one of people’s top priorities. Evans also reminded council that all they were being asked to do was provide comment to the province on removing land from the parking requirement. “I’m urging councillors to look at this one step at a time,” Evans said. “Why would we create a barrier when this is before us as a

positive proposal?” Coun. Ron Kerr agreed and said he would like to see changes made to an area that looks the same way it did when he first drove into Tyee Plaza decades ago. “I’ve got to admit, it wasn’t a positive experience. I kind of looked around and thought, ‘this is Campbell River.’ You know honestly that parking lot hasn’t changed a lot in all these years. To me, this project and the projects anticipated for this area are a real step forward. Change is good,” Kerr said before taking council to task for making things hard on developers. “This is one thing we do really well in this community – is throw up roadblocks, take sides, polarize issues and not go anywhere and that’s why we’ve got that same parking lot that was here 43 years ago. I think there’s great opportunity for conversation, for discussion as we get moving ahead but let’s get moving ahead.” Councillors Wright and Michele Babchuk stressed that council needs to be fair to the developer if it wants investment put into the city.

Island family appeals to Trudeau to bring Sofii back JOCELYN DOLL

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Jan Wade hasn’t seen her granddaughter Sofii Doyle since September of 2014 where they had a few moments together on the steps of the courthouse in Mexico City. Soffi was taken into the custody by her mother in summer of 2013 who has not given her back. Despite her father, Jeff Doyle, having sole custody and numerous Mexico court orders in his favour, he has been unable to bring his daughter home. “We tried to do everything legally and in Sofii’s best interests,” Wade said. “We still can’t get her back.” Though Doyle appealed, through his MP Rachel Blaney, to the Minister of Foreign Affairs for assistance they couldn’t promise anything more than assistance with Sofii’s passport. In a letter addressed to Blaney and forwarded by Blaney to Wade, Stephane Dion, minister of Foreign Affairs, explained that Canada cannot interfere in the legal proceedings of another country. The family’s last hope is that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau broughtthe matter to Mexico President Enrique Pena Nieto when he was in Ottawa on June 29. In ord e r t o g e t

Sofii Doyle was taken by her mother in 2013. Her father Jeff has been unable to recover her from Mexico since then despite having 13 Mexican Court orders in his favour.

Trudeau’s attention, Wade and Doyle headed to Ottawa to stage a protest as well as writing letters and campaigning on social media using #bringsofiihome. Doyle originally gave his ex-wife permission to take Sofii on a three week trip to Mexico in July of 2013, but they never returned. When Doyle realized his six-year-old daughter and ex-wife weren’t returning to Canada he went straight to the RCMP. “They wrote up charges and sent them off to crown counsel,” Wade said. “[The RCMP] have been wonderful.” Ho w e v e r, C r o w n Counsel would not press charges.

ter to Wade dated Sept. 15, 2015, Crown Counsel for the region, John Labossiere, explained that they could not press charges because there was not sufficient evidence that Soffi’s mother had planned to take Sofii and not return. According to Wade, Sofii’s mother has admitted in Mexican court that it was her plan all along, however the documents have not been forwarded to Crown Counsel. In June of 2014 Doyle went to the B.C. Supreme Court to get an official document showing he is Sofii’s legal guardian. “That’s a tough thing to do as a father,” Doyle told the Mirror at the time. What followed was a series of legal proceedings in Mexico. Doyle and Wade flew down to Mexico for the initial trial on Sept. 22, 2014. Unfortunately, the judge didn’t show up and

the trial was postponed for a week. At the rescheduled trial, the judge awarded Doyle two preliminary visits with his daughter at a government run facility. “Those precious hours with Sofii gave me an opportunity to feel whole again, alive again, with hope and love and invigorated as a parent to be with my daughter, laughing, playing, holding hands, talking for hours,” Jeff previously told the Mirror. “The whole time [I was] holding back tears as the clock ticked away the hours as if they were minutes.” In court on Oct. 7 the judge granted a restitution order in Doyle’s favour, but allowed 10 days for Sofii’s mother to make an appeal. During that time she prevented Doyle from seeing his daughter and Mexican officials from checking on her. Since that time there has been 13 court orders in Doyle’s favour. “The original judge said that it was a clear case of parent manipulation and every court has said that,” Wade said. The next step should have been for Mexican Interpol to locate Sofii, pick her up, and notify Doyle, who would then fly down and pick her up, but it hasn’t happened. “It’s stalled,” Wade said. “That’s the worst thing is that it is so hard on Sofii, and the longer it goes on, the harder it is.” *With files from Paul Rudan and Alistair Taylor

Environment Freedom of Information request reveals impasse between developer and the city on remediation of disturbed wetlands Part II of II KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

An impasse between the city and developers responsible for disturbing sensitive wetlands off Jubilee Parkway is stalling rehabilitation efforts. The developer, Parkway Properties Joint Venture, through its Qualified Environmental Professional (QEP), McElhanney, in March presented three remediation options to the city but all have been partially rejected. A Freedom of Information request from the Mirror to the City of Campbell River revealed that those options involve using existing peat to rehabilitate a 2.2 hectare area of disturbed fen – peatlands that have formed in depressions supplied with groundwater and which contain organic soil and peat deposits. In a May 11 letter to George Stuart, principal of Parkway Properties, Ron Neufeld, the city’s general manager of operations, wrote that the city is considering its options but that more information is needed. “The proposed remediation plan for 0.52 hectares of disturbed fen has been supported by both city and provincial staff,” Neufeld wrote. “This is encouraging. There does not, however, appear to be agreement as to the appropriate treatment for the remaining 1.9

The options Parkway, through McElhanney, has provided the city with three different options for rehabilitating the wetlands. The first option would use existing peat on site to rehabilitate the fen by developing a four-metre deep basin. Option two would restore the fen to its original depth with the available peat, maintain the remnant

hectares of disturbed fen.” The fen was disturbed and the wetlands altered over a seven year period, between 2007 and early 2014, as developers dumped soil over the area while developing a subdivision on the opposite, northern side of Jubilee Parkway. As a result, the fen area was drained of water through the installation of ditches which changed the hydrology of the area. A remediation report from McElhanney to the city also revealed that, “fen vegetation was stripped and removed (and) with the exception of a small area, all organic soils and peat were removed from the fen basin” which changed vegetation composition and invasive species. The work was completed without proper approvals in place and in response, the city, once it became aware of the issue, slapped Parkway with a Remedial Action Requirement last summer.

fen and provide forested land to compensate for the reduction in fen area. The third option presented by McElhanney would preserve the remnant fen and provide forested land to compensate for the fen that is irreparable. That option also involves grading the disturbed fen to maintain the hydrology of the remnant fen and develop upland vegetation. Forested developable land within the property would be provided as compensation for the disturbed fen area. However, Ross Murray, professional biologist, wrote in McElhanney’s report that each option presents its own set of challenges. Option one, he said, has a very low likelihood of success in returning the site to its original fen potential condition in terms of water storage, hydraulic conductivity, fen veg-

etation or re-establishment of peat accumulation processes. “The likelihood of fen character and processes continuing over time within this option is very low to nil,” Murray wrote. He said option two would likely result in an outcome other than the target but added that it has the benefit of attempting to restore a portion of the disturbed fen area although it has “a disappointingly low likelihood of achieving its targets.” Murray said option three does not return the site to the original condition in terms of water storage, hydraulic conductivity, fen vegetation or re-establishment of peat accumulation processes. As a result, Murray said, there would be no reestablishment of the damaged portion of the fen.

Jubilee wetlands: impasse delaying remediation

Cont. from Pg. 5

Hitting a roadblock In a May city staff report presented to council in an in-camera meeting, which is closed to the public and the media, staff wrote that the city was analyzing those options and progress was being made towards a solution. “All parties have agreed that 0.52 ha of the total 2.42 ha of disturbed/infilled wetland

can be restored with the stockpiled peat available,” wrote city staffers Chris Osborne, senior planner, and Terri Martin, environmental specialist, in their report to council. “This forms part of option two. Staff were encouraged by the additional work leading up to this option and the next step was to work through the compensation process for the 1.9 ha of the northern

portion of the infilled wetland.” However, the parties could not come to an agreement on the last piece of the puzzle – compensation for the fen that is lost. “After a detailed technical meeting to work through the compensation process no further QEP information has been supplied,” Osborne and Martin wrote. “This impasse is the

reason for this report’s recommendation for staff to engage a QEP to complete the RAR ( R e m e d i a l Ac t i on Requirement) in compliance with the provincial advisory letter.” Province gets involved The provincial advisory letter was written by Bryce Casavant, compliance and enforcement specialist with the province’s ministry of forests, lands and natural resource operations, and former conservation officer who made headlines last year for refusing to shoot two black bear cubs near Port Hardy. After being reassigned by the province, Casavant was tasked with the Jubilee wetlands case after a member of the public filed a complaint that Parkway may have contravened the province’s Water Act. Casavant wrote an advisory letter, which was forwarded to the city, stating that his investigation found two contraventions – that changes were made in and about a stream without lawful authority and that Parkway failed to report damage to a stream. As such, Casavant ruled that, “the company is legally required to immediately return the site back to its natural state in the southern portion of the damaged wetland area.” Casavant also wrote that the province, like the city, also supports option two, however, it does not support the forest land compensation offer. “It is our expectation that it will be ‘like for like’ or ‘as close as possible’ compensation and that total compensated

lands will exceed the damage done – thereby leaving a ‘positive’ addition to protected areas,” Casavant wrote. “Acceptable compensation for the leftover northern damaged area will be left to the city for determination in consultation with subject matter experts.” City explores its options City staff, in consultation with a number of QEPs, has recommended a number of wet forest retention options to ensure com-

pensation exceeds the damage done. Osborne and Martin, in their report to council, wrote that those options were presented both verbally and in writing to Parkway’s QEP, McElhanney. But, as of last month, they said they were still waiting on a final report from McElhanney on a remediation plan that would satisfy all parties. A solution was put forward by Parkway’s Stuart in an April 20 letter to the city, however, the contents of that letter were blacked out

by the city through the Freedom of Information process. What is clear is that Martin and Osborne were not satisfied with Stuart’s recommendation. “Staff cannot recommend to council the solution proposed in the owner’s 20 Apr. 2016 letter in the absence of a completed science-based demonstration that this is the best solution that can be achieved,” they wrote. “This is the information that staff are waiting for the owner to complete.”

I was down having lunch at Ken Forde Beach in Willow Point one recent sunny noon. It’s always a lovely spot with the sun out and the water a deep blue. On those kinds of days the mountains of the adjacent mainland are whitecapped, standing like a barrier to the interior of the province. Strewn along the high tide mark on the beach are driftwood logs and smooth, waveworn bits of wood. It’s this wood that attracts the hundreds of beach fire enthusiasts (okay, and the view too) who come to roast hot dogs and marshmallows and spend a pleasant evening with family and friends. There’s a plentiful supply of firewood and the big logs make great fireside seats when rearranged around a fire pit. It’s one of the great things to do in Campbell River. But with it comes some responsibility and not everybody fulfills their obligation to extinguish their fires. Too often, the fire department has to be called out to douse a smouldering log that either

Are you proud to be Canadian? You should be. Today we celebrate the 149th birthday of this great country and make no mistake, Canada is pretty great. From our natural beauty to our industry, arts and culture to relative economic stability (as compared to many other countries in the world) Canada seems to have it all. Despite claims by Americans, Canada is a true home of the free. Our country has a positive worldwide reputation for political rights, civil liberties and freedom in general. In fact, the rest of the world sees Canada as a great place to live. The inaugural “Best Countries” report – revealed earlier this year at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland – named Canada as the secondbest country in the world to live in, just behind Germany. The U.S. finished fourth. So with all these positive global reviews, why We say: Are we is it that some Canadians just too humble are lackadaisical about celebrating our home? about our own Let’s face it, America’s successes? gusto for the Fourth of July is clearly more enthusiastic and ingrained into their culture. Are we just too humble about our own successes? Whatever the reason, it’s time we took more pride in ourselves and started looking at our country through the eyes of the world. Here in Campbell River, Canada Day festivities are being carried out across the city. There is live music at Spirit Square and Robert Ostler Park, which is also the site of the Canada Day market, there is a skateboard competition at the Sportsplex, and cake and a pancake breakfast at Frank James Park. The Canada Day parade takes place at 4 p.m. downtown and fireworks will light up the sky just before 10:30 p.m. Put on your red shirt, grab a Canadian flag and sing the national anthem – new words or old words, it’s your choice. Let’s show enough pride and make enough noise so the world knows how proud we are. Happy Canada Day. -Black Press

small, when the water’s really shallow or the waves are big and sweeping up the beach making it hard to scoop up a good amount of water. It’s tiring and time consuming walking back and forth and I thought, “what if there was an easier source of water, would people be more diligent about putting their fires out?” Then I had an epiphany: what if the city installed a tap and hose at the Seawalk/beach edge? Then it would be easier to fill up whatever container you have and it wouldn’t be as far away (at low tide). My wife Lynne improved my suggestion by adding that the city could install one of those blue and white ‘hydrants’ like the one at Frank James Park where they promote our cool, clean drinking water? If a bucket was left there too, then it could be used (but it would likely get stolen anyway). Still, an easy source of water that makes filling up a container a snap would encourage people to fully extinguish their fires.

The area covered by Level 4 extends from north of Campbell River and the Discovery Islands down the east coast of Vancouver Island, and include Victoria, Sooke and Port Renfrew. Areas north of Campbell River and along the west coast of Vancouver Island remain at a Level 3 drought rating, which means the conditions are very dry and water users should continue to limit their water use.

Campbell River Fire Chief Ian Baikie, left, and B.C. Fire Commissioner Gordon Anderson, far right, present Colby Shaw with a Fire Commissioner’s Commendation Award at Monday’s council meeting for his heroic efforts during a house fire.

e g n e l l a h C l ‘Heroic actions’ save six lives Scrap Meta KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A young Campbell River man is being hailed as a hero for his actions during a house fire. Colby Shaw was recognized with a Fire Commissioner’s Commendation plaque for potentially saving six lives. Gordon Anderson, B.C.’s fire commissioner, and Campbell River Fire Chief Ian Baikie presented Shaw with the plaque at Monday night’s council meeting. “It’s a pleasure to recognize such heroic actions,” Anderson said. “It showed a great deal of courage. We do want to recognize the heroism he displayed on that evening.” In the early morning hours of June 6, 2014 a fire broke out in a home on Varsity Drive. Baikie said the Campbell River Fire Department responded to the fire at approximately 4:30 a.m. and by the time crews arrived, they found what Baikie described as a “heavily involved fire, with smoke and fire coming from the second floor.” Prior to the fire crew’s arrival, Shaw, along with his friend Glen Magbanua who was also in the home when the fire broke out, had managed to get all six occupants of the home – including a tenant in the basement who uses a wheelchair.

Baikie recounted that Shaw, who was sleeping in an upstairs bedroom, awoke to find fire in the home. Baikie said by that time the smoke was thick, making it difficult to breathe. “Visibility on the second floor was next to none and Colby managed to find his way out of the house, yelling at others that may still be in the home,” Baikie said. Once outside, Shaw realized his friend Magbanua’s younger sister was asleep in an upstairs bedroom. Shaw ran back into the home and attempted to reach the second floor while the fire was raging through the kitchen area, generating heavy smoke on that floor. Baikie said in those conditions, the temperature would have been 500 degrees standing and Shaw would have had to stay low, which he did. Baikie said as Shaw made his way to the bedroom he heard Magbanua – who had been sleeping in the living room and fought his way past the smoke to exit the home – calling from outside the house that he had grabbed a ladder from an outdoor storage shed and had it propped against the house in order to get his sister out of through her bedroom window. Baikie said fortunately Shaw was able to turn around and exit the home through heavy smoke via

the basement. “All of these actions took place prior to our fire department arriving and when we did arrive, we found Colby unconscious on the front lawn,” Baikie said. “We provided medical assistance to Colby before the ambulance arrived and he was transported to hospital where he made a full recovery.” Baikie said it was thanks to Shaw and Magbanua’s quick and selfless actions that night that all six residents of the home made it out alive. Fire Commissioner Anderson said that while entering a smokefilled building can be a dangerous decision to make, in some circumstances it’s necessary. “While we don’t encourage people to obviously go back into such conditions, there are situations where these sort of conditions arise and people have to use their judgement,” Anderson said. “Colby did an excellent job of arousing all the people in the house, ensuring they got to safety. He did so at risk to himself and we are grateful he made a full recovery.” Magbanua will also be receiving a Fire Commissioner’s Commendation plaque but at a later date as he was out of the country at the time of Monday’s council meeting.

Marmot Recovery Foundation releases five on Mount Washington ERIN HALUSCHAK COMOX VALLEY RECORD

The views are impressive, with just a chair lift overhead for five marmots who now have a new home on Mount Washington. Thanks to The Vancouver Island Marmot Recovery Foundation, the species nearly at the brink of extinction about 10 years ago is now slowly growing. “There’s about 300 at most wild marmots on Vancouver Island, and today we were able to release five, and it will continue to allow the population to thrive, and hopefully repopulate other areas of Vancouver Island as well to allow species survival,” explained Cheyney Jackson, field co-ordinator for the foundation. There are 15 species of marmots around the world, added Jackson, and the Vancouver Island Marmot is only found on the Island. In 2003, there were 30 marmots left in the wild on the Island, and thanks to the work of the foundation releasing 490 captive-bread marmots, the species is growing. Jackson noted one of the main causes of marmot mortality is predation. “Sometimes you get overwinter mortalities related to hibernation,

ERIN HALUSCHAK/COMOX VALLEY RECORD

Comox Valley MLA Don McRae (front) along with the team from The Vancouver Island Marmot Recovery Foundation carry five marmots to a designated spot on Mount Washington for release Monday.

but the main cause is predation. Cougars, wolves and golden eagles prey on marmots. What we’ve seen is that the marmots tend to do really well on Mount Washington. We think because there’s so many people around, that helps keep predators out of the area and that’s maybe one of the secrets to their success.” Adam Taylor, executive director of the foundation, attributes the near-extinction of Island marmots to one possible theory: large-scale landscape changes. He said one thing researchers know from the past is that marmots would move down from their alpine habitat into

areas that have been cleared of forests and establish in those zones. Ironically, once clear-cut areas began to regrow, they weren’t able to survive in a newly-forested area. “It’s incredible to think how far the recovery program has come … (it’s) still a long, long way away from what we want to see, but it’s still an incredible recovery to date from the species that was at the absolute brink of extinction.” Through a partnership with the Calgary and Toronto zoos, the foundation receives captivebred marmots and have been releasing them around the Island for

years. Vancouver Island marmots aren’t rapid reproducers, he said, with only two to four young born typically every other year, which controls the number of marmots the foundation can release. A l t h o u g h Ta y l o r describes the past year as “really poor” for survival, he added it did not push the population to the point of extinction. “… we’ve lost 36 marmots last summer in Strathcona (Park). There was a time where that number was more than the number of marmots in the wild. We know from experience we can rebuild that population.” Throughout an aver-

age winter, marmots the foundation releases have an 80 to 90 per cent survival rate. The program is funded through a partnership between the province, Island Timberlands and TimberWest, but Taylor noted the majority of the foundation’s funding on an annual basis comes from individual gifts from about 10,000 Canadians. They have an annual budget of $800,000 to $1.2 million, depending on the number of marmot releases. With the Mount Washington release site - a walkable site - the costs aren’t as significant as past releases within Strathcona Park, which have to be done by helicopter. Those releases cost around $5,000 per release, not including rearing or transportation from the zoos to the Island. Taylor said the ultimate goal is to have marmots survive in the wild without a lot of human intervention. “We hope one of these days we can withdraw we can stop doing these wonderful releases … that the population stays stable or starts to increase. We don’t know what that number is, but we think that number is somewhere between 600 and 900, but time will tell. At our best, maybe we’re halfway there.”

Step aboard the Soyokaze

This summer, the Museum at Campbell River invites you to step aboard the Soyokaze for a guided tour as a part of our new Fun Friday Programs. This antique cod fishing boat was donated to the Museum at Campbell River by the Matsunaga family in 1999, and received an Outstand-

ing Achievement Award from the Heritage Society of B.C. in 2003. We are pleased to continue to tell its story through this program. We welcome you to learn about the history of the Soyokaze, from its beginnings in Steveston, B.C. to the unlikely story of how the boat was reunited with its original

owner, Mr. Shigekazu Matsunaga, after the Second World War. In a 2001 article for Pacific Fishing Magazine Alan Haig-Brown remarked, “…this fine craft may well become a “must” stop for fishermen travelling up and down Vancouver Island.” The program will explain a bit about the

construction of the Soyokaze, the cod fishing industry surrounding Cape Mudge, and Japanese-Canadian history in British Columbia. The tour will be followed by fun activities, which include a game of Fishing for Facts for children and nautical knot tying tutorials for all ages.

The Soyokaze tours take place on July 8 and August 5 at 11 a.m. and at 2 p.m. The program is included with Museum Admission. The Museum at Campbell River is located at 470 Island Highway. For more information please call 250-287-3103 or email summer.programs@crmuseum.ca.

MANAGING YOUR MONEY What you need 3x8to know about negative or sub-zero Investors Grouprates You’ve probably heard about negative or sub-zero rates – it’s a trending topic, after all. In Europe, several countries already have sub-zero rates and Bank of Canada governor Stephen Poloz has said that he wouldn’t rule out taking our rates in that direction. But what does it really mean to you? Let’s find out. Up until a few years ago the idea of rates falling below zero had zero traction. But the global economy hasn’t grown as quickly as expected after the recession and the central banks of many still-suffering countries, especially in Europe, have been forced to come up with new stimulusinducing ideas. Lowering interest rates to near or even below zero is one such idea. The thinking is: zero or sub-zero rates will encourage people and companies to borrow cheaply and spend more money, thus increasing economic growth. Here in Canada, to help the economy grow during the oil price plunge, the Bank of Canada cut the interest rate from 1% to 0.75% in January 2015 and then to 0.5% in July. As energy prices fell further, the Bank of Canada said it would continue

cutting rates, perhaps into negative territory – but with oil prices rebounding and the Canadian dollar strengthening, that may not happen. In its most recent meeting in April, the Bank of Canada kept its benchmark lending rate at 0.5%. There are two sides to sub-zero rates for consumers and investors. On the positive side, people are able to borrow money at extremely low rates. On the negative side, money in savings accounts won’t earn as much interest and conservative income-producing securities like money market funds and Guaranteed Investment Certificates (GICs), where rates are already low, may fall even more. However, lower rates are usually positive for stocks, so equity values could rise. In a zero/sub-zero environment, gold could do well and high-yield bonds – debt issue by corporations – also begin to look more attractive. No, zero/sub-zero rates have not yet come to Canada – and they may never do so – but it’s still a good idea to talk to your professional advisor about how lower rates could affect your portfolio and your overall financial plan.

New Youth Service Centre coming

Helping young people get the support they need, when they need it, will be the focus of a new youth service centre in Campbell River. On June 17, the Province of BC announced that Campbell River has been selected as one of five communities across BC to be the home of an accessible, youthfriendly, multi-service storefront for young people ages 12-24. The Province and partners collectively will be investing more than $7.5 million to support youth who are at risk of substance use and mental health concerns with the launch of the BC Integrated Youth Services Initiative (BC-IYSI). The BC-IYSI will work with Campbell River and four other British Columbia communities –Kelowna, North Van-

BC Ferries has teamed up with Parks Canada again to bring back the popular Coastal Naturalists program to educate and entertain customers of all ages this summer. The Coastal Naturalists program runs on board from June 29 through Sept. 5 on select vessels servicing the Tsawwassen – Swartz Bay and Horseshoe Bay – Departure Bay routes. Nine enthusiastic Coastal Naturalists will engage with customers during 20-minute

presentations on the ships offering a real life coastal experience. The program helps raise awareness about B.C.’s coast and increase appreciation for its wildlife, marine life, geography, culture and history. Approximately 150,000 passengers participate in these presentations each season. “Now in its 11th season, the Coastal Naturalists program offers travellers the opportunity to explore the world beneath the waves,” said Corrine Storey, BC

The centre will be situated in John Howard’s 10th Avenue building, which will undergo extensive renovations in preparation for its opening. “We were thrilled to learn that Campbell River has been selected as one of the locations for a new youth centre. Our centre will be a place where any youth or parent in our community can walk in and find the help they need. It will fill gaps where young people currently fall through the cracks,” said Wendy Richardson, John Howard Society Executive Director. Barb Kozeletski, a parent with lived experience of trying to help her child access the mental health system, is a member

of the leadership team working on the development of Campbell River’s youth centre. “I am the surviving parent of a child that would have greatly benefitted by these enhanced services. I fell into this purely by circumstance when I was in need of the services for my family. When I accessed the current services there was nothing cohesive about the journey. It was confusing and fragmented. It has been exciting to be involved in part of the solution to making access to the services more streamlined and with an emphasis on sensitivity in regards to stigma. It’s an opportunity to be on the ground floor of something that gives hope and compassion to our youth,” she said. Learn more at www. bciysi.ca.

amantha Ogrodnik’s Grade 6 and 7 students at L’École Phoenix were learning about the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child this year. Despite its message of respecting and honouring children’s rights being a positive one, what they learned through their study of the subject was bothersome. “When they learned that some children’s rights around the world are not respected, that upset them,” Ogrodnik says. “So I gave them a challenge and asked, ‘Well, what are you going to do about it?’” The result was astounding, she says. The kids formed groups and started working on “Compassion Projects” focused on building awareness and raising funds to support the efforts of various organizations around the world who are fighting for these children’s rights. Like Grade 7 students Ashton Bruining, Delaney Ewing, Shea Watson, Taylor Ring and Davis Gage, who learned that there are young girls all over the world who were not receiving an education – which they say is something that girls in our society take for granted. “There are approximately 66 million girls around the world who are denied access to

But who the children chose to support with their efforts was less important than the fact they felt they needed to get involved somehow, Ogrodnik says. “It’s really wonderful when you see the kids wanting to step up and do something to help when they learn about injustice or social problems,” says Ogrodnik. “They’re very proud of themselves for making a difference, and I’m proud of them for wanting to.”

Weed out gardening myths from facts

Gardening is an ageold activity that was once a necessity but has transformed into a hobby for thousands of people. While gardening still serves practical purposes, many gardeners still consider it a hobby first and foremost.

Time-tested gardening techniques have prevailed, but there remain certain myths about gardening that are best dispelled. The following are some of the more common myths associated with gardening. * MYTH: Compost tea is more effective than traditional compost. All over North America and the United Kingdom, gardeners have jumped on board the compost tea bandwagon. Compost tea is a fertilizer created by steeping compost in water mixed with sugar in brewing kits. The mixture is allowed to sit and aerate to encourage beneficial organism growth before it is sprayed on plants. According to supporters, compost tea suppresses disease and boosts plant yields. However, there is no evidence to suggest that compost tea works any better than adding compost in its

* MYTH: Plants under stress should be fertilized. This is not the case. Horticulturists advise that fertilizing plants that are not deficient in nutrients can actually add to existing stress levels for plants. Plants are not often stressed by a lack of food, but rather heat, faulty planting or space constraints. A fed plant will use the energy to absorb the nutrients instead of defending against a blight or establishing better root systems. * MYTH: Young trees need stakes. It may be tempting to stake

inhibit swaying may not stimulate the tree to grow thicker, lower trunks that will help the tree in the long run. It is recommended that saplings be staked for around one year and then have the stakes removed to encourage the tree to be strong and stable on its own. * MYTH: Water droplets and sunshine lead to burnt leaves. Gardeners have been told to resist watering their plants during the hottest times of the day. Many assume it's because water droplets lying on leaves will magnify the

fore they evaporate. Watering during the hottest points of the day is not advised because water evaporates and gets wasted. * MYTH: Sand add-

ed to clay soil makes it looser and better for plants. Clay soil is a deterrent to gardening because it can be so hard to dig and difficult to cultivate, but some feel it's best to add sand to the clay to make it a better soil mixture. You would need a great deal of sand to do this in the right manner, but many gardeners simply dig a hole, add sand and hope for the best. However, water runoff will pool in the sand and not be absorbed by the clay, potentially causing the plants to drown. * MYTH: Adding compost or potting soil to the planting hole for a tree or shrub is beneficial. Gardeners frequently add compost or potting soil to the

* MYTH: Use gravel or rocks in the bottom of planting containers to improve drainage. Rocks and gravel can

actually impede the growth of plants and take away space for roots to grow. The drainage may be affected as well, as water will sit above the gravel or stones and saturate the roots. Stick with plain soil for better drainage results.

BOOMERS & Beyond BC Seniors Advocate takes on ‘gross generalizations’ perpetuated by media

Which is better: a Home Equity Line of Credit or Reverse Mortgage? Let’s compare and see.

Mike Davies, Campbell River Mirror

Submitted by Antonietta Gaudet, Mortgage Professional, DLC Coastal Mortgages

BC Seniors Advocate Isobel Mackenzie pick data and offer gross generalizations recently shot back at Globe and Mail that take the economic conditions of columnist Margaret Wente after the some seniors and apply it to all seniors,” publication of her column entitled, “Soak the seniors advocate says. “Perhaps the the seniors,” where Wente most offensive part of said we need to dial back these often hyperbole supports for seniors in our laced arguments is society who make a ton when medical costs are of money off the taxpayer considered. The argument through Old Age Security Ms. Wente and others (OAS) and other benefits advance is that we should “that you can get even if be counting the money you don’t need it.” we spend on fixing hips, On top of receiving knees and hearts as part a ton of taxpayer money of looking at government that old people don’t even expenditures on seniors, need, Wente wrote, they and lump it in with OAS also receive discounts like and cinema discounts those offered at grocery to conclude that we stores and the movie spend disproportionately BC Seniors Advocate Isobel theatre. more on seniors than the Mackenzie says the media’s “Everybody gives us deals, portrayal of seniors as wealthy population under 65 on even though lots of us are is not only inaccurate but also a per capita basis. Not to loaded,” Wente wrote. let facts get in the way of a fosters intergenerational Mackenzie took umbrage good story, but we could resentment, which hinders with Wente’s piece, calling it slice out any number positive discussion. “a generationally divisive of discrete populations and stunningly inaccurate generalization and show similar healthcare dollar of a group of people based on their age. disparities.

Before we go blaming seniors protests and condemnation.” for the fact they need a new hip or bypass Mackenzie doesn’t deny there are many surgery, we should first thank them for the seniors who are “thoroughly enjoying life billions, yes billions of dollars they save on middle or high incomes, but this is true the health care system by taking care of in the population at large as well,” she says. each other. Indeed I find it hard to believe “In fact, looking at the objective data of that Ms. Wente and her posse have spent Statistics Canada, the median household any time with seniors living in residential income for seniors is in fact the lowest care or receiving home care – the flip side of any age cohort over the age of 25.

They create yet another “us versus Which is all people like Wente are them” dichotomy that is destructive to doing, Mackenzie says, when they publish society. statements in a national newspaper like “The social spending bias against “today’s millennials should not be taxed to seniors continues to be expressed by other pay for the boomers’ air-conditioning bills media and some academics who cherry- in Florida.”

Short-Term vs. Long-Term Needs With a line of credit, you borrow money and begin paying it back (with interest) immediately. This makes sense if your needs are short-term and you have the income to pay it back quickly. But what if you need the money for a longer period of time? Then you have to be prepared to make regular monthly payments for some time to come. If you’re like many Canadians living on a fixed income, these extra monthly payments could be too much for your budget to handle over an extended period of time. A Reverse Mortgage is different because you can choose not to make any payments until you decide to move or sell your home. Instead, the interest simply compounds on the outstanding balance of the Reverse Mortgage while the entire value of your home also continues to appreciate. When you sell your house, you pay off the accumulated amount of the loan and keep the rest. Reverse Mortgages are designed specifically for Canadian homeowners who don’t want to service a loan over time or have concerns about their financial position in the future. Reverse Mortgages are an excellent way to supplement your income on an ongoing basis. You can choose to access a fixed amount each month. Or you can take out a lump sum and use it to build an investment portfolio that will generate extra cash flow.

Reducing stress before burnout

Submitted by Dr. Jeffery, Perceptive Health Naturopathic Medicine

Are you feeling like the stressors in life just keep adding up? You may want to be proactive and stop stress now to prevent long-term health problems. When we experience stress, our bodies secrete hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol. These are very important and help us adapt to life's stresses. The problem is that we often remain in a state of high stress for weeks to months which can interfere with many of the bodies natural processes. SICK AND TIRED Stress can result in or contribute to: • Fatigue OF FEELING SICK AND TIRED? • Anxiety Low mood, recurring colds and fatigue? • Depression This may be a sign of a nutrient deﬁciency • Hormone problems or other functional imbalance. • Increased susceptibility to colds Visits to an ND are covered by most and infections • Memory and concentration probextended health plans. lems Dr. Jeffery is accepting new patients in • Blood sugar regulation problems the Campbell River area. • Sleep problems • Weight gain • And when untreated, burnout What people also don't think about is that stress can result from mental and physical sources.

like a wedding or a job promotion will also add to your overall stress load. Here is the good news. Stress is highly treatable if addressed early. Depending on one's specific situation, I use a combination of high-quality herbs, nutrient support, hydrotherapy and mental coping strategies to help support your physiology during demanding periods. Of course, there are many things you can do now to reduce stress such as regular exercise, getting outdoors, laughing and mindfulness meditation. We are all susceptible to stress and burnout, but being proactive will help keep you vital and strong through life's ups and downs.

Giving back is a Thrifty Foods philosophy ALISTAIR TAYLOR CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

t’s hard to imagine a community event or organization that Campbell River’s Thrifty Foods store hasn’t helped out. One of the company’s strongest philosophies is to give back to the community and the Campbell River Thrifty Foods certainly embodies that ethic. “The store’s been involved in the community since it opened,” Riederer said. “It’s a big part of our culture, really, at Thrifty Foods since it started with Alex Campbell. “We believe in giving back to the communities; supporting the communities that support us.” The Campbell River Thrifty Foods supports everything from the Food Bank to big fundraising golf tournaments like the Rod Brind’Amour/ Ryan Nugent-Hopkins Cystic Fibrosis golf tournament, dinner and auction which just happened recently and

Campbell River Thrifty Foods manager Doug Riederer works hard to accommodate community requests for the store’s support.

the upcoming Special Olympics Howie Meeker Golf Classic. The store also supports the Salmon Festival. “It would be hard to think of something what we’re not involved in in some aspect,” Riederer said. “We get in the neighbourhood of 15-20 requests a month from various organizations.” Riederer said they try to accommodate them all in some way or another. “I like to say I never say no,” he said. “We

can’t always do whatever people ask for but we try to do something.” Riederer said he particularly likes to support local schools “because I know they have tight budgets.” “But there’s so many worthwhile organizations around that do good work,” he said. “It’s sometimes hard to support them all but we certainly try to do something for everybody.” A unique program at Thrifty Foods is the

Sendial volunteers take grocery orders from seniors and other shut-ins. From left: Janet-Ann Mahoney, Elaine Eisel and Maureen Berntson.

Sendial program. Sendial Volunteer Shopping Program does the shopping for customers who, because of injury, frailty or other physical reason, can’t easily get to stores or shop independently. It’s a service that is offered at all of the company’s outlets with more than 800 people served every week and Campbell River’s Sendial team is as active as any. “We have a great team of volunteers,” Riederer said. As a career, the grocery business is certainly one that can provide stability. People always need groceries and there are many people who have made the Campbell River Thrifty Foods their career. “There’s people still working here that started when the store opened,” Riederer said. “There’s a number of local people who have made this their career. And, of course, we like to support young people in the community as well, giving them their first job.” Many young people

“cut their teeth” on their working career, getting a start at the store with their first job. The summer is a time when many high school students start and then get a few years of working under their belt before deciding what they want to do. Those who do make it a career undoubtedly like it. Campbell River’s store has an “abnormally low amount of turnover,” Riederer said. But the staff is made up of a whole range of employees. “I like to say we have a really good balance

between people who are on their second career or semi-retired, right down to the young kid that’s just got his first job,” Riederer said. But for those who want to stay with the company, there’s opportunities to move up the career ladder. “It’s a good job, a good company,” he said. “We pride ourselves on being a good employer.” People often start with the company intending to move on after a while but end up making a career of it because of the working environment.

“I didn’t think it was going to be a career either and that was 34 years ago,” Riederer said. Thrifty Foods was recognized as one of Canada’s 50 Best Managed Companies in 2007. Riederer estimates that the Campbell River Thrifty Foods is one of the slightly bigger than average outlets in the company which was started in Victoria in 1977 by partners Alex Campbell and Ernie Skinner. The company has grown to 25 stores on Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland.

DEATHS

January 14, 1961 - June 21, 2016

July 11, 1934 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; June 17, 2016

Passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family on June 21, 2016 at Campbell River Hospital at the age of 55 years. He was predeceased by his brothers Sly, Glen and Randy. He is survived and will be greatly missed by his parents John and Magnell Usipuik, brothers Nester and Rodney, his 5 children; daughters, Amanda, Alana, Melisa and Amelia and son John; four granddaughters Danica, Kaitlyn, Isabella and Sophia, one grandson Carson, sister-in-law Cindy; three nieces Sherry, Lisa and Yvonne; two nephews Dion and Carmen. If a measure of a person is the depth of love left behind and the thousands of small kindnesses and laughter remembered, with a tear and a smile, then Alan Usipuik was a great man. The family would very much like to thank neighbours that assisted, to the doctors and nursing staff in ICU. Special thanks to Father Jan Grotkowski, St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Parish, the Venerable Blair Haggart, St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Anglican and Howard McCluskey and Sean Simpson at Island Funeral Services. A funeral service will be held Thursday, July 7th, 2016 at 11:00 AM, St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Roman Catholic Church, 43 South Alder St, Campbell River.

Passed away in Courtenay, on June 17, 2016. Ted is predeceased by his parents Paul and Saima Carlson, daughter Susan Carlson and his partner Jo Cain. He is survived by his former wife June Carlson, son Erik Carlson and daughter Jacqueline (John) Rice. Ted belonged to the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists and the Scotch Malt Whiskey Society of Canada. He was a professional Electrical Engineer, graduated from UBC in 1957 and worked for BC Hydro, Alcan and MacMillan Bloedel. In Tedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leisure time, he enjoyed fishing (salt, fresh and stream fishing), skiing, hiking, boating, cycling, fresh air and fitness. Every season was a new adventure for Ted and most likely included outdoor activities. Flowers gratefully declined. A donation in Tedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name to a favourite charity supporting outdoor activities would be greatly appreciated. A celebration of Tedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life will be held on Saturday, July 9th at 11:00am from Comox Valley Funeral Home, Cremation and Reception Centre, 1101 Ryan Road with a reception to follow in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Garden Room and Outdoor Patioâ&#x20AC;? of the funeral home.
