City to keep Tidemark Theatre in the pink Arrests: Drug and crimnal charges

KRISTEN DOUGLAS

From Pg. 1

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The city has decided to keep the Tidemark Theatre outfitted in its standout coat of pink, based on feedback received from the community. A poll first issued by the city last month reveals the majority of Campbell Riverites want to keep the Tidemark Theatre pink. The survey gave the public three options to choose from – the first was to keep the Tidemark entirely pink but in a darker shade, the second was to paint the building’s centre slab in dark pink with grey walls on either side and the final option was to paint the entire building grey but keep the Tidemark letters on the building’s sign pink. Elle Brovold, the city’s prop e r t y m a n a g e r, said that based on the feedback, the city will be going with the first option of painting the theatre all in dark pink. “Given the strong public support to keep the pink and the incorporation of the pink in the theatre’s branding, staff are planning to paint the exterior of the theatre in the colour shown in concept option one,” Brovold said. Brovold said the city received 453 responses to its survey on what colour to paint the Tidemark and 84 per cent of those respondents indicated they were in favour of keeping some element of pink on the exterior of the theatre. A total of 60 per cent selected option one (all pink), 34 per cent voted for option two (partial pink) and just six per cent voted for the allgrey option. “The city posted the survey on Facebook and received over 50 likes, 47 shares and over 110 comments,” Brovold said. “The majority of the posts were very positive and reinforced the survey responses that

vehicle pulled away, it struck one of the police officers. The vehicle fled the scene at a high rate of speed and was not pursued. The suspect vehicle was located a short time later at an apartment building in Campbell River and police officers set up in the area. The suspects were observed leaving the area in a taxi cab and the officers moved in to safely stop the cab. The suspects attempted, again, to flee but were unsuccessful as police officers apprehended one suspect immediately after he exited the cab. The other suspect was captured after a brief foot chase. As a result of the arrests of the individuals, police seized over $47,000, 72 grams of Heroin, 11 grams of powder Cocaine, 23 grams of Crack Cocaine an 13 grams of Crystal Meth. The suspects, Jitesh Vagh and Karalo Nadeau, who are both from the Lower Mainland, were held in custody. Vagh and Nadeau have both been charged with Possession of a Controlled Substance for the Purpose of Trafficking and Possession of Proceeds of Crime. Vagh is facing additional charges of Assaulting a Police Officer and Assaulting a Police Officer Causing Bodily Harm, Nadeau is also charged with obstructing/resisting a police officer. The police officer that was hit by the vehicle is recovering from his injuries and has returned to full duties, Const. Biller. “This is an clear example of the dedication of the Campbell River Street Crimes Unit to identify, target and apprehend individuals who choose to deal illegal drugs in this community. These officers were placed in a situation of extreme danger while attempting to arrest these suspected drug dealers and, unfortunately, one of our officers was injured. We are grateful that we were able to locate and safely apprehend the drug dealers without any further injury to Police, the public or the accused. In addition to arrests, we were able seize a significant quantity of drugs that were destined for the streets of this community,” Const. Biller said.

The city will be painting the Tidemark Theatre in this new, brighter shade of pink based on community feedback.

pink was the desirable selection.” Painting is expected to begin on the Tidemark Theatre at the end of this month. Brovold said the painting is part of the city’s scheduled maintenance and the city embraced it as an opportunity to reinvigorate the theatre and surrounding area, including the Campbell River branch of the Vancouver Island Regional Library (VIRL). Brovold said the library will be painted a new contemporary colour with white trim. The back wall is expected to be painted light grey. She said that city staff has been consulting with Vancouver Island Regional Library staff to identify a colour scheme

that matches the city’s permit guidelines and at the same time maintains the look and feel of the VIRL branches across the Island. The entire project will cost the city $50,000

which includes all design, construction, public consultation (survey), and contract administration, according to Brovold. “As the buildings are city-owned, and per the

operating agreements we have in place with both the Tidemark Theatre Society and VIRL, the city will be covering the full cost of painting at the Tidemark Theatre and library.”

This graphic rendering shows proposed changes to the council chambers at City Hall that would add a wheelchair ramp to the far right, as well as moveable seats in the lobby and a raised platform for presenters at council meetings.

Council considering renos KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

City council got a look this week at design options for an overhaul of the council chambers at City Hall. The blueprints were produced by KPL James Architecture and are designed to make council’s meeting space more accessible and more a c c om mo d at i ng to larger crowds. Council was presented with the design plans for consideration at its Committee of the Whole meeting on Monday. The plans include expanding the public gallery from the existing 42 seats to 90. Of those, 42 would be permanent theatre seats and 13 would be moveable seats within the council chambers. An additional 35 moveable seats would be situated in the front

lobby of City Hall. The renovation suggestions were prompted by Coun. Larry Samson last year when he said City Hall was not adequately catering to those with mobility challenges. He said the council chambers should be built to universal standards and by not doing so, council is inadvertently excluding some members of the community. Samson noted that there is only a small area at the top of the stairs in council chambers that can accommodate wheelchairs and that the only way to access the presentation area is by taking the stairs. He also said that there are problems with having the only public washrooms located down two flights of stairs, in the basement of City Hall. Renovation design

plans attempt to address that by including a new handicap washroom in the front lobby as well as a new handicap ramp and pony wall down one side of the council chambers. The architects have designed the renovations to be completed in four phases. Phase one involves raising the floor in council chambers, installing the accessibility ramp and handrails, a new door to the committee room on the other side of the council chambers, as well as a raised platform for delegates presenting to council and a poly wall between the public and council. The estimated cost of phase one is $333,361.50. The second phase includes demolishing the existing glazed wall that separates council chambers from the lobby

and replacing it with two new folding partitions so that in the event people are sitting out in the lobby the wall can be opened so that everyone is included. The estimate for that work is $161,862.10. Phase three is the construction of the handicap washroom just inside the front doors of City Hall, at an estimated cost of $38,761.70, while the fourth and final phase would involve demolishing the existing bench seating in council chambers and installing new fixed theatre seats on the room’s existing tiers. That work is estimated to cost $66,138.50. Council, however, wants other options and has not approved any of the design plans. Instead, revised designs will go before council for consideration at a future meeting.

Minister of Education responds to SD72 concerns

Board being forced to ‘look into a crystal ball’ to guess how to budget for pay increases MIKE DAVIES CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

can actually budget effectively. “I thought that in terms of the point the board was trying to make to the minister – that we need some predictability in terms of funding – he really completely missed the point of the letter,” said Trustee Richard Franklin. “He talks about ‘a rational, consistent and technically sound approach to setting compensation,’ and it’s so rational that, in some cases, excluded staff salaries are frozen here, but if they went to an equivalent position somewhere else, they’d be able to get a raise. How rational is that?” Trustee John Kerr agrees. “In the letter that we sent, we expressed that we feel if the government bodies approve a raise, they should fund it,” Kerr said, addressing the staff raise that was granted by the government, but then not funded, forcing districts to find the additional wage money within their existing budgets to fund it. “I have a real concern about that,” Kerr continued. “If the people who provide the money give you approval to increase the compensation to people who haven’t had compensation increases for seven years or more, then it’s incumbent upon them to provide those funds, rather than say ‘okay, but take it from somewhere else

in your budget.’ Our budgets are already stretched so thin and now we’re being forced into making difficult choices either way. We could have not approved these (raises) and had the money available for other educational things or approve them and have to come up with that money from somewhere else in the budget.” Franklin also pointed out that the board should now expect that future pay increases will not be funded, either, and when they make their annual budgets, they will have to “look into a crystal ball and guess what these increases will be, and set aside that amount of money in order to pay those increases so we don’t have to upset the apple cart mid-year to pay amounts of money that we have no idea what they it is going to be,” because, “really, the board no longer has the ability to negotiate with its employees. It’s all done by the government appointed people at the BCPSEA (BC Public School Employers’ Association).” Board chair Susan Wilson said the district does have an opportunity to express these concerns again at the upcoming Provincial Select Standing Committee on Finance meeting, and she has applied to do so. “I think if we are accepted to make a pre-

sentation, it would be a really good opportunity to reply or respond to some of the points that were brought up in those previous letters, to show some appreciation for some of the funding that is being released by the government to the districts – such as the Student Transportation Fund – but also to reiterate some of our specific concerns,” Wilson told the board, adding that they would begin to put together a presentation in hopes of being accepted to speak, since waiting for approval before starting may not leave them enough time before the Oct. 6 meeting in Courtenay to properly prepare everything they want to say. They should know before the next public meeting of the Board of Education, scheduled for next Tuesday, Sept. 27, whether they will be approved to speak before the committee next month.

Getting the word out

Bearing witness to the roadway slaughter A LIMB

The warnings about bears in our midst have been louder and more prevalent this year than previously. Bears are nothing new, of course, they were here long before many of us so why are we hearing so much about them now? Well, it does appear that human-bear conflicts are becoming more frequent and that’s usually to the detriment of the bear. But it’s not so much that we are encroaching on the bear’s territory – we are, as our cities and towns expand ever further into our provincial forests. It’s more that we don’t know how to live with bears on our doorsteps. Consequently, provincial wildlife officials have launched bear aware campaigns in an effort to educate the public on how their actions are impactWe say: With the ingForbears. a vision on what right care taken, bear awareness looks we can enjoy the like, you only have to visit national parks in Canada presence of bears and the United States. That’s where you see zero-tolerance for sloppy behaviour that encourages bears to come waltzing around your campsite. Park rangers are downright militant about making sure campers and park visitors leave no trace that would appeal to a hungry bear. No food can be left out, cooking equipment has to be stored away and nothing that has a fragrance can be left behind in a campsite that has nobody in attendance. Steel bear-proof containers are provided for campers to store things that would attract a bear. Many parks confiscate anything that has been left behind. Now, our homes are not campgrounds and we have a right to leave our presence in our yards but we can be more careful and remove things like fallen fruit or other garbage. It will make your property look better and it will keep the bears away. It’s all about learning to live with the bears rather than the old approach of removing “nuisance” wildlife. The presence of wildlife is a blessing and adapting to their needs and understanding their desires allows us to live in harmony with our environment. And that’s a model that can be applied elsewhere in our relationship with the natural world, which, in the end, encompasses everything in our life.

putting up on my personal blog (on Word Press, it’s Routes and Ramblings, I call it, if you’re interested in checking it out) along with some musings from this and other recent trips. I felt a certain affinity for Grand Teton Park because in the centre of it is Jackson Lake which was dammed for the benefit of Idaho potato farmers in the early part of the 20th Century. One park ranger joked that Idaho potato farmers own the top 30 feet of water in Jackson Lake (that’s how much the dam raised the lake level). Jackson Lake reminds me of Buttle Lake in the heart of our own Strathcona Provincial Park with its denuded gravel shoreline that looks stark and bare when the Strathcona Dam reservoir level is low. But despite that, Grand Teton is a beautiful park (as is Strathcona) and I really enjoyed our visit. Had a wonderful encounter watching two rutting bull elk bugle at each other and thrash bushes in an attempt to establish dominance.

In looking at student success, it used to be that teachers could simply assign a letter grade or a percentage point to a project or period of time, which would tell a student – and their parents – how well they were doing in a particular subject or discipline. That’s been changing, however, and will continue to do so. “We’re actually really pretty pleased with the direction the ministry is going,” superintendent Tom Longridge told the School District 72 (SD72) Board of Education at their last public meeting when updating them on the curriculum implementation and grading practices, “not only in the curriculum improvement pieces that we’re seeing, but also in the assessment practices and being consistent in giving districts the abil-

ity to actually do that and have that conversation and change the conversation in regard to assessment within the school community. “This, we believe, is an exciting time in regard to assessment.” Assistant superintendent Nevenka Fair also outlined for the school district board last week how this process has been going here in Campbell River in anticipation of coming provincial changes. She says the government started letting districts decide on grading practices a few years ago, at which point SD72 did away with the traditional “report card” model in elementary school and moved towards having open lines of communication between teachers, students and parents about how a child is progressing. “A letter grade or a percentage doesn’t actually help the student understand what they need to do next. We need to be engaging students in their self and peer assessment and just constantly be moving forward,” Fair says. “So we started looking at the research around assessment for learning, where you’re not stopping and judging kids,” Fair says. “We’re not stopping their learning and asking them to prove their learning. We are, along the way, asking them to help us in cocreating the criteria for success and understanding what the destination looks like.”

“

THEY SAID IT: “A letter grade or a percentage doesn’t actually help the student understand what they need to do next. We need to be engaging students in their self and peer assessment and just constantly moving forward” – Nevevnka Fair, assistant superintendent

And teachers and parents within the school district are seeing the benefits of this strategy, Fair says. “As we’ve been doing that, some of the benefits that we’re seeing – at least in anecdotal comments from parents and teachers – are that kids are more engaged; kids can talk about their learning. They can say, ‘what am I learning, how am I doing in my learning, and where do I need to I go next.’ And that’s really exciting. You talk to some middle school educators, and they’re saying that kids are less saying ‘what did I get?’ or, ‘does this count?’ and rather the conversa-

tion is about their learning.” As the school district has been engaged in this process, Fair told the board, the Ministry of Education has been developing their own structure for educational assessment and reporting, “and we’ve been waiting for some policy and sort of been crossing our fingers that what we’re doing is aligned with that.” It turns out the Ministry of Education is seeing the same things as SD72, because much of the ministry’s new interim assessment and reporting policy, released to districts in August, “falls in line with what we’ve been doing,” Fair says. “We know there are improvements to be made, as there is with any initiative – and this was a huge initiative – and so we’re looking forward to getting feedback and helping support not only kids but also teachers as we move forward,” she says, and acknowledges that one of the improvements that needs to be made is that, “we have to do a little more engagement with parents.” But most importantly, Fair says, is that the school district – along with the Ministry of Education – is moving towards a place where, “instead of looking at, ‘what did kids get?’ – whether it’s awards or how many ‘A’s or whatever – we want to look at improvement made. We want to look at how many kids are actually improving each year.”

Council has agreed to give a $25,000 cash donation to the Nuyumbalees Cultural Centre which is organizing the prestigious Tribal Journeys 2017 event on behalf of the host nations – the Wei Wai Kai and the Wei Wai Kum. Ron B owles, the

city’s corporate services manager, said the event is expected to cost $750,000 and bring 5,000 guests to the community. “The Tribal Journeys 2017 event will be a monumental event in the community,” Bowles said. “Financial support will go a long way in ensuring its success.” The donation from the city is expected to help the Nuyumbalees Cultural Centre secure funding from Heritage Canada as the grant application requires a commitment of financial support from the host government.

Mayor Andy Adams said council is pleased to help out in whatever way it can because the event is not only important to the two local First Nations, but also the City of Campbell River. “I think it will be a great showcase in collaboration for Campbell River,” he said. The event celebrates the histories and cultures of various First Nation families from around the world who will be canoeing into both Campbell River and Quadra Island where they will be welcomed with a pub-

canoe families who will arrive in the area. More than 500 volunteers will be recruited to help bring all of the plans for the Tribal Journeys event to fruition. Event organizers have asked the City of Campbell River for help with in-kind

donations (removing street parking during the event, social media and communications, and tourism) on top of the $25,000 which is expected to go towards waste management and recycling, signage, traffic control and a gift bag from the host city to canoe families.

Campbell River minor hockey season is underway again with a full slate of games at every level. Here the Pee Wee A Tyees take on the Port Alberni Bulldogs at Rod Brind’Amour Arena on Saturday.

It’s game on for Midget A Tyees

The Campbell River Midget A Tyees have hit the ice for the 2016/17 season. Tryouts are still in progress but the team is starting to take shape. The Midget A Tyees and Campbell River Minor Hockey welcome coaches Jim MacLean and Bill Humphreys to the fold. They are supported by assistant coaches Stewart Lee and Joel Wheeldon. The Tyees opened the exhibition season on Saturday, Sept. 10 with a victory on the other side of the Hump against the Alberni Valley Bulldogs then followed that with a win at home Sunday, Sept. 11 against Comox Valley. With a few more prac-

tices under their belts and a few extra dollars in the team kitty, thanks to a very generously supported bottle drive, they headed south to Fuller Lake on Sunday, Sept. 18 to play Cowichan Valley Capitals. Antoine Minfray started between the pipes for the Tyees and kept the Capitals off the scoresheet with some help from solid team defence. Tyler Dickson opened the scoring with the man advantage, assisted by Seth Parker. Unfortunately, the Capitals made the most of a man advantage to tie it at one before the end of the first period. About five minutes into the second period, Clinton Nelson fed a

beauty pass to Ethan Mainprize that sprung him for a breakaway. Mainprize made no mistake, rippling the twine and putting the Tyees ahead 2-1. The team had a great penalty kill and Minfray made a heck of a save to deny a Capital breakaway attempt just before the mid-game flood. Carson Borgfjord came on in relief and was soon tested by the Capitals. The Tyees tightened up a bit but not enough as the Capitals put a pair of goals up on the board in less than a minute to take a 3-2 lead at the end of the second period. Like all Tyees, the team kept working hard; taking a few solid hits and dishing out many of their

own. Their focus paid off when Nic Ordano, assisted by Dickson, turned on the red light to tie the game at 3 earlier in the third. Unfortunately, the Capitals were able to get one more on the board before time expired to win the game 4-3. Many spectators thought that the Tyees were unfortunate to not come away with at least a tie let alone a W but it was not to be on this day. Coaches were overheard to say that there were a lot of positives to build on from this game. The team generally had good breakouts as the players are grasping the systems that have been introduced. Although there were

Our Way is Your Way

some questionable penalties, the Capitals led the parade to the sin bin with 20 minutes in penalties compared to the Tyees’ 18 minutes. Players are making good changes and seem to be supporting the puck most of the time. This is the start of a season-long marathon and they’ve had to absorb a fair amount of new material in a short time. The Midget A Tyees will be making another trek over the Hump on Sat Sept 24 for a rematch with the Bulldogs to start the tiering games before hosting Saanich at 1:15 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 25 in the friendly confines of Rod Brind’Amour arena.

It’s not every week that the best golfers in the world over the age of 50 play a tournament within “day-trip” distance of us, but this weekend, that’s exactly what’s happening. This weekend – starting today, in fact – the Champions Tour converges on Bear Mountain Golf and Country Club in Langford for the Pacific Links Championship. You can get on the course for as little as $35 during the tournament rounds, which is a steal to watch some of the all-time greats make their way around such a beautiful venue. Sure, big John Daly had to withdraw from this week’s tournament, but all-time greats Tom Kite, Mark Calcavecchia, Duffy Waldorf, Colin Montgomery and Bernhard Langer – who is currently dominating the Champions Tour with some amazing performances and disturbing consistency – will all be there. Oh, and then there’s the “Most Interesting Man in Golf,” Miguel Angel Jimenez, who will be in attendance, as well. If you can’t make it down Island, though, there’s also this little thing called the TOUR Championship happening at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta this weekend, too. The playoffs have whittled the field down to only 30 players vying for the annual title of FedEx Cup Champion. The young superstars and fan favourites everyone expected to be there – Jordan Spieth, Rory McIlroy, Jason Day and Dustin Johnson – are indeed there, but there are also some sneaky, much-less-household names that have very real chances to take the title of FedEx Cup Champion. One recognizable name that hasn’t been said much in recent years, Paul Casey, for example, somehow crept up the points board this year and can finish as low as T-2 and still win the championship, provided Dustin Johnson, Jason Day, Patrick Reed or Adam Scott isn’t the player he’s tied with or the winner of this week’s tournament. Emiliano Grillo (this is where most people probably say “WHO?”) can win the FedEx Cup this year by winning this week’s TOUR Championship, neither Dustin Johnson or Patrick Reed finish in the top-3 and Jason Day finishes 4th or worse. Heck, even Jhonattan Vegas (currently in 29th place overall) or Charl Schwartzel (30th) could win the overall title, but I’m not going to break down those scenarios here, because they’re really complicated. The winner of this weekend’s tournament will take home $1.5 million, and if it turns out that a the win captures them the FedEx Cup, as well, they will head home with an additional $10 million. So it should make for some good watching for those not heading down Island to watch the tournament at Bear Mountain – or heading out on the course themselves.

Campbell River rugby sees surge in registration numbers

erhaps is was the excitement of the return of Rugby to the Summer Olympics, increased television coverage of International Rugby, or the fact that rugby is a fairly easy sport to get into with the reasonable climate of Vancouver Island, but the Campbell River Athletic’s Minis and U14s are seeing some growth in their numbers. “I think it’s all the above plus a number of other reasons,” says club president, Erin Young. “It’s very affordable and minimal equipment is

required compared to other sports, most of our age groups practice and play at the same time and venue so it’s very family-friendly, and all players, girls and boys, are active team members with everyone getting the ball on the attack and everyone having equal responsibilities on defence. We have a dedicated coaching team in place to ensure a fun, inclusive, and safe environment to build skills and experience necessary for exciting and successful competition.” Teams are in full

swing of training, as they prepare to host other Vancouver Island clubs at the Campbell River Mini Rugby Jamboree at Willow Point Park on Sunday, Oct. 2. There are still approximately six roster openings at each of the U8, U10, U12 and U14 age classes, no prior experience necessary. U8 and U10 is flag rugby and U12 and U14 is tackle rugby. For more information, email campbellriverrugby@gmail. com or check out the Club Website at www. campbellriverrugby. weebly.com.

A free information session on athletic scholarships for male and female athletes and parents of

all sports is being held Wednesday, Sept 28 at 7 p.m. at Strathcona Gardens Recreation Centre

Athletes in British Columbia are extremely fortunate to have such a wide variety of outstand-

ing athletic choices to choose from. British Columbia offers its male and female ath-

silly, but it’s a blast! In the dark, the trails we ride regularly seem new again, it feels like you’re riding faster than ever (actually going about 3/4 speed) and it’s a great way to avoid that crushing feeling in the spring when you realize sitting on the couch all winter killed your fitness and added 10 pounds. So if you’ve been dreading the fall and the shorter days that come with it, don’t, just grab some bike lights and get

out there for an adventure in the trails. If you’re worried about riding alone in the dark, that’s understandable as it can be a bit unnerving, so join in on the Swicked group rides every Mond ay and Thurs d ay night...all year long. You’ll be surprised how cool it is to watch a group of 10 or 20 riders flow through the forest, lights ablaze.

Athletic scholarships can pave the way for athletes’ dreams

Have you ever been driving along Dogwood and wondered about all those lights flickering through the trees? Well, it’s a bunch of us having the time of our lives ripping through the trails on our mountain bikes, in the pitch black. Sure, it’s awesome riding all summer long when it’s light out until 10:30 p.m., there’s a nice breeze cooling you down after a hot day and and the trails are in great shape, but to be able to ride all through the fall and into the winter is why we live on the West Coast. We’re lucky enough to enjoy mild weather year round, so there is no need to hang the bike up after summer. We can dress a little warmer, strap a light to our helmets and hit the trails. At first I tried night riding years ago because it was the only time I had available and I didn’t want to lose fitness, but I soon realized how fun it can be. The following summer I was planning night rides on a monthly schedule. Imagine waiting until midnight in July so you can ride technical trails in the dark. Seems

Fishing Corner with

I was talking fishing with Roy Grant from Campbell River and I had mentioned that a 50-pound Tyee was caught in Sayward and Roy had said he doesn’t fish that way.

the skies cleared. More than 40 people came to enjoy the day and the first trout was caught shortly before 10:30. A brief hail storm came in early afternoon and pea size hail stones hit the lake and anglers took a break to enjoy hotdogs coffee and chili. Rock Quocksister got the biggest trout – 1.12 pounds – and John Einaudi came in second with his 1.3-pound trout.

Roy spends quite a bit of time rowing in the Campbell River Tyee Pool and when the Tyee season closed for the season he rowed Tim Samuels and they got a 31.5 pound Tyee. The first Tyee of this season came in on Aug. 2 and was caught by Racho Jordanov who got a 34.5 pound Tyee. The rower was Bruce Aikman.

Last Saturday, I left Campbell River around 5:30 in the morning and headed to Roberts Lake to take registrations for the Family

When you spend 11 hours on the lake and with the number anglers out there, you get some interesting reports about the lake. Lots of fish were reported in depths of 50 feet and the deepest part of Roberts Lake is about 181 feet. There were more than seven boats on the water and some anglers were trolling small Tomic plugs or a Flatfish.

When I got to the resort, Lorna Duncan poured me a coffee and we had talked about and wished the weather would clear and it did. The rain tapered off around 10 in the morning and the day was perfect with no wind and rain and
