The snow in the region is being washed away by rain this week but before the weather broke, members of 1st Willow Point Scouts and Venturer Scouts took advantage of winter conditions to get in a snow camp that included a hike last Saturday to this viewpoint over Upper Campbell Lake.

Police make arrests in recent string of business B&Es The Campbell River RCMP Street Crime Unit took a key step in an ongoing investigation into the recent rash of businesses being broken into in Campbell River. The break and enters have resulted in tens of thousands of dollars of property being taken, as well as significant damage to all the businesses.

On Jan. 13 it executed a search warrant in the 600 block of Nursery Road. During the search, the Street Crime Unit located property linked to numerous break and enters, as well as a stolen vehicle that was recovered on the property. “We are very proud of the work done by our members. The rise in break and enters was unnerving

for business owners and our community and we worked diligently to solve these crimes and prevent more victims and now we are able to put forward charges on this string of crimes,” said Const. Sara Clark media relations officer for Campbell River RCMP. Two people were arrested, 42-year-old Alfred Nelson and

City plays name game KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

What’s in a name? That’s a question city council is trying to provide some clarity and consistency to – at least when it comes to its parks and facilities. At its Jan. 9 meeting, council approved a draft policy that provides guidelines for naming playgrounds, city parks and inf rastr uc ture, including facilities built voluntarily by non-profit groups on city property. Ross Milnthorp, the city’s general manager of parks, recreation and culture, said the city’s Community Services, Recreation and Culture Commission suggested such a policy in early 2016 following construction of the turf field at Robron Park. “As city infrastructure is developed, the commission anticipates that the city will receive requests for naming these assets from the community,” Milnthorp wrote in a report to council last March. “In addition, requests from the community (for) naming rights for existing or future assets, may

be a source of revenue for the city.” As it turns out, Milnthorp was correct. In November, as the city’s other commission, the Advisory Planning and Environment Commission, was vetting the draft parks and facilities naming policy, the city received a request from Cermaq to have its name on the turf field. Council ultimately approved that request and in exchange, Cermaq will provide $100,000 over three years to the city which will be applied to the city’s share of the costs to build a field house at Robron Park. Aside from acknowledging donors, the naming policy also intends to affirm “a sense of place and identity” and celebrate “the social, historical, cultural and natural environment of our unique city.” The policy also purports to help the public easily identify a park or facility and recognize contributions from individuals or groups from the community, as well as their achievements.

n Names are encouraged which reflect the service, contribution or achievement of any individual or group to the specific facility, including naming the facility after people or groups who are important or prominent in their field including art, sport, commerce, politics and community service. n Local names of importance and significance that resonate with Campbell River residents are encouraged. n If a facility is to be named after an individual, group or commercial entity, consent of that individual, group or commercial entity must first be obtained. If the individual is deceased, consent must

The City of Campbell River’s fire department will continue on as the emergency fire dispatch provider for northern Vancouver Island and Powell River. The North Island 911 Corporation and the City of Campbell River recently signed a five-year, fixed contract agreement which means fire emergency calls made to 911 will be routed through Campbell River’s fire department. The City of Campbell River has been providing fire dispatch services to approximately 50 local fire departments within the North Island since the inception of North Island 911 in 1995. “The City of Campbell River has created positive synergies between the local fire departments and fire dispatch, covering a vast geographical area of approximately 60,000 square kilometres,” said Coun. Larry Samson who is also the

president of North Island 911. “Having a fixed contract in place for the next five years ensures stable costs and continued effective service delivery to our residents.” Ron Neufeld, the city’s deputy manager and general manager of operations, said it is in

the city’s best interest to continue providing fire dispatch. “The City of Campbell River acknowledges the value of maintaining these highly-skilled jobs in our community, and we appreciate the good working relationship with the North

Island 911 Corporation over the last 21 years,” Neufeld said. The North Island 911 Corporation provides emergency dispatch services to the Comox Valley Regional District, the Strathcona Regional District and the regional districts of Mount Wad-

dington (North Island), Powell River (excluding Lasqueti Island) and Alberni-Clayoquot, as well as a portion of the Nanaimo Regional District (School District 69). RCMP dispatch is handled in Courtenay while ambulance service is run out of Victoria.

Model trains and heavy equipment take over museum

ach January, young and old gather at the Museum at Campbell River to share a love of trains. The Annual Train Show featuring the North Island Model Railroaders transforms the museum’s changing gallery into a wonderland of miniature landscapes. The operating HO Scale and Garden Scale trains drive through detailed arrangements of scenery, miniature buildings and equipment. To compliment this display, there is also an ICATS display in the lobby. ICATS stands for Island Construction and Trucking Show, which displays remote controlled heavy equipment such as front end loaders and excavators. “Lou Desbiens from Royston is coming with an earth mover, or scraper, Caterpillar model 637 that he just finished up for the show, says Rob Roy from ICATS, describing some new equipment on display this year. “It’s a spectacular model that the public will really enjoy,” Roy says.

The model railroad displays attract young and old to the Annual Train Show event at the Museum at Campbell River.

“It’s such a great show,” he continues. “This will be the 6th year the ICATS will be showing at the Museum for this event.” Thanks to the huge success of this annual event, and the generosity of the participants, the event has become a fundraiser for the museum. The museum is dependent on fundraising to continue to provide public programs, exhibits and school tours. The train show has something

for everyone, from toddlers to seniors. It will run on Jan. 28 from noon to 5 p.m. and Jan. 29 from noon to 4 p.m. The cost is only $7.00 per person or $20.00 for the whole family. Kids under six are free. Call the Museum at Campbell River at 250-287-3103 for more information. Discover for yourself why this fascinating hobby is popular all around the world.

Regional District pushing to finish broadband connectivity study after federal funding announcement KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A federal funding announcement to improve Internet access has prompted the Strathcona Regional District to expedite a feasibility process for broadband connectivity in its rural communities. Improving broadband (high-speed Internet that is always on) access throughout the regional district has been a strategic priority of the regional board of directors for a few years. Which is why the board, and in particular Quadra Director Jim Abram, was so thrilled when the federal government announced the Connect to Innovate (CTI) program which will help fund new back bone and last mile infrastructure in eligible communities that don’t have

access to high-speed Internet. “I have to say I was ecstatic when at UBCM (Union of B.C. Municipalities convention) I was informed of this,” Abram said at last week’s Wednesday regional board meeting. “This is just incredible this is actually happening.” Victoria Smith, the regional district’s special projects and sustainability manager, said corporation has been planning to develop a regional broadband strategy to better understand the challenges of delivering broadband and potential connectivity issues. Smith said the CTI funding announcement means the regional district must now expedite work on that strategy if it wants to be in a position to be able to put forward a project application prior to the fund-

Ethics shouldn’t be a grey area

Letters to the Editor

There are a couple of items in your Friday 13 edition I would like to comment on. 1) I loved Neil Cameron’s Opinion piece. Great fun, great work and I look forward to reading more from him. Your paper is a window into the community and I think you guys do a very good job...much appreciated. 2) I’d like to pass along a pat on the back to Myriah Foort, City Finance Manager, her team and all the others (including mayor and council) involved in putting together an award winning city budget. Budgeting is very difficult, especially when you’ve got tax payers breathing down you neck watching where the money is going. We should be proud of the team working on our behalf. It’s easy to criticise, but when they do something as positive as gaining international recognition we should support them with a well deserved “thank you for a job well done.” Keep up the great work.

“Fake news,” as U.S. president-elect Donald Trump and his detractors have taken to calling it, isn’t new. It spreads more quickly these days, thanks to social media that allow people to tailor a brief message for emotional reaction, or simply promote a false story to people who wish it to be true. It flourishes in an age where conventional news organizations have reduced revenues, shifted to Facebook and Google primarily, and more pressure to report quickly. The visit of 79-year-old Hollywood actor Jane Fonda to fly over the oil sands of Fort McMurray last week is an example. Seeing the mining sites made her feel like her skin was being peeled away, she said, and this is clearly someone who has had work done on her skin. Orchestrated by Greenpeace, this celebrity smear followed the script created for elderly rocker Neil Young three years ago. Like Young, Fonda was accompanied by Athabasca Chipewyan Chief Allan Adam, who repeated unsubstantiated claims about rising cancer rates

in his community. That’s the really damaging fake news. Adam continues to call for further medical studies, knowing that intensive studies have been done, and they contradict him. TV news airs it because, hey, he’s with a celebrity. Here in B.C., a lower-profile example unfolded l a s t we e k . A carefully staged news conference i n Va n c ou v e r introduced two Gitxsan hereditary chiefs, filing the latest lawsuit alleging lack of consultation on the Pacific Northwest LNG project. They claim the project is a threat to salmon runs. Cue the quick-and-dirty media coverage: aboriginal opposition continues to mount against liquefied natural gas project, Gitxsan opposed, etc. Their stated focus is the shipping terminal proposed for Lelu Island near Prince Rupert, but a closer look tells a different

ALISTAIR TAMMY ALISTAIR ROBINSON TAYLOR TAYLOR ROBINSON

story. First, Gitxsan territory is inland. Lelu Island is in Lax Kw’alaams territory, and its membership voted in favour of the terminal project last spring. This is t he B.C. fourth similar lawsuit, and all appear to be orchestrated by groups called Skeena Wild and Skeena Watershed Conservation Coalition, which are funded by U.S. foundations. I wrote about their antics at the Lelu Island protest camp last summer, featuring a rifle-toting guy claiming to have spiked trees all over the island, slick videos that create an impression of destruction, and so forth. The environment groups maintain websites that feed out news releases, high definition video and photos from their news conferences. It’s just the thing for time-starved newsrooms, guiding them along a

A pat on the back

Fake news is everywhere around us VIEWS

People should not have to dole out large amounts of cash to have access to our country’s politicians. And, outside of party fundraisers, people do generally have access to them — even as far up as the Prime Minister. Canada’s PM is in hot water this month over alleged ethical improprieties over his trip to the Bahamas — on top of further questions surrounding apparent cash-for-access events that would have seen large amounts of money paid by potential lobbyists to see the PM. Justin Trudeau has said, in media reports, he’s willing to stand before an ethics expert in these cases. And it’s looking like he might get that chance. This is a good thing. Whether Trudeau crossed ethical lines or not, our elected officials must be held to a higher standard when it comes to questions surrounding potential conflicts, influence-peddling or other alleged ethical breaches. As politicians, those individuals should also want to adhere to those higher standards. If they don’t, then they have no business being in office. And there’s the rub. For too long people have taken advantage of the system, pushed the ethical lines, and besmirched the one-good-name of politics. Of course, you’d probably have to go back to Roman times to find the word ‘politics’ not associated with unseemly activities or professions. A review of this country’s ethical guidelines when it comes to our leaders and lobbyists is probably long overdue — and more so a change needed in policy and law to ensure that politicians live up to them or face severe consequences. Canadians, in general, do have access to their top politicians. And while party fundraisers seem to be standard operating procedure for all the nation’s political parties, using public office to further those coffers should send up red flags to observers. It’s time politicians demonstrated how they can be better at ethics than many of us necessarily have to be. -Black Press

narrative of greedy, reckless resource development. Meanwhile, nine of 10 Gitxsan hereditary chiefs who approved the gas pipeline route sent a letter to their members at the end of the year. It describes four years of study, the hiring of independent experts, and accommodation for one Gitxsan house group that refused to participate. It notes that there has been a buried gas pipeline through the territory since 1968, through Telkwa, past Smithers to Terrace. It has operated without harm to salmon, wildlife or Gitxsan traditions. But that pipeline was built without consent of the Gitxsan, unlike the current project. A blockade in the Suskwa Valley, known as Madii ‘Lii, run by Skeena Watershed Conservation Coalition, is described as “trespassing without consent.” But what most people get is fake news about a strong and growing grassroots opposition.

MP Rachel Blaney heard passionate and emotional stories from the community at Monday’s seniors town hall at the Senior’s Centre in the Campbell River Common. One woman, whose mother had just passed away after living in a care home for many years said her mother would go a whole day without being changed and that she was fed awful food. Another woman went so far as to say she would rather push her parents off a balcony than put them in a care home. On the other side of the spectrum, people talked about how home care isn’t useful anymore because the care workers are so restricted in the care that they can give. “They come in, give them their medications, heat them up a TV dinner, and go,” one lady said. “How is that helping anyone?” Or, in some cases, the seniors don’t have a place to call home at all. “One of the ones I will always carry with me was

a gentleman who has worked with homeless people for over 30 years,” Blaney recalled. “He said to me ‘Rachel, in the last year and a half,’ and this was two years ago, ‘I’ve seen seniors coming into my door who are at risk of homelessness and I did not see this before, this is new’.” Blaney said that, unfortunately, none of these stories are new or unique, she has heard them from all sorts of people all across the riding and that is why the NDP have put forward a motion to develop a national seniors strategy. “Predictions are that by 2036 more than 1/3 of the population will be seniors,” she said. “We need a national strategy.” In Blaney’s eyes a national strategy would require the government to work with provincial, territorial and local governments to look at and plan for “what is happening across Canada and what we can do to make sure the lives of seniors are cared for more effectively.” In her presentation at the town hall, she outlined what she would like

to see from the federal government in the coming years. She and the NDP were pleased with a few minor changes that they saw in the 2016 budget. The age of eligibility for the Old Age Income Supplement was returned to 65 years old. It was increased to 67 years old while the Conservatives were in power. The Guaranteed Income Supplement was also increased by $900 a year for single seniors. But Blaney said it isn’t enough. She was saddened by the Liberals when they didn’t follow through on their campaign promise to give $3 billion for home care. She said that when they were questioned about this they said that they just included the increase in the healthcare transfers to the provinces and territories. Blaney said that because there was no strings attached to the money, there was no way of holding the provincial and territorial governments to account and be sure that they used that additional money for home care. “We are hearing from

people that there isn’t any more home care,” she said. “So we know this isn’t happening.” Changes Blaney would like to see in the healthcare sector include: n timely and immediate access to healthcare professionals. n affordable prescription medication for all. n increased investment in neurological research and a national Alzheimer’s strategy n ensured trainin.g of medical professionals to deal with seniors needs. n expanded home care for seniors and funding more nursing home beds. n increased access to end of life care and palliative support. n expanding eligibility of the compassionate care benefit. When it comes to housing for seniors Blaney would like to see: n i nve st me nt i n affordable housing that is targeted to low income seniors. n flexible housing options so that couples can stay together longer. n investment into retrofitting homes to meet seniors needs.

Campbell River high schools clash in senior boys basketball

Jared Perras (left) makes a jump shot during Tuesday’s senior boys basketball game between the Tyees and crosstown rivals Timberline Wolves. The visiting Tyees – AAA Vancouver Island North division leaders – prevailed 79-57 in the fastpaced match in Timberline gym. At right, Timberline’s Greg Hay breaks up the court hounded by Carihi’s Jonah Shankar. The Wolves played Isfeld last night after Mirror press time. See www.campbellrivermirror.com for results.

Getting fired up for biathlon T

he Vancouver Island Biathlon Club has a new Competitive Youth Race Team this year and it’s getting off to a great start. Biathlon is a unique Olympic sport combining the skate technique of cross country skiing with shooting .22 caliber rifles on a 50-meter range, alternating skiing laps, with shooting bouts. Although not as well known in Canada, it is an extremely popular sport in Europe and Asia. Two of the Competitive Youth Race Team members, Joe Winkelaar (Comox), and Gavin Johnston (Campbell River), travelled to West Kelowna where the Telemark Ski Club

hosted the first Biathlon BC Cup Race on Dec. 17-18. Lead Competition Coach, Don Johnston, said, “It was a good challenge for the athletes. They had only been skiing on snow for one week prior to the race. The conditions were really tough, at -20 C for practice and -16 C for their race times. These athletes are really working hard as they are skiing and then cool down quickly when shooting. Despite this, both athletes performed well with both their shooting and skiing.” Winkelaar, racing in the Sr. Boys category, shoots in both the prone (lying down) position at 45 mm targets and ■ ■ ■ ■

standing at 115 mm targets. Johnston, in the Jr. Boys category, shoots only in prone. “With open sites, and a high heart rate, these are not easy targets to hit,” he says. Last weekend, Jan 14-15, both Winkelaar and Johnston headed to Quesnel, where the Cariboo Ski Club hosted the second Biathlon BC Cup Race of the season. The conditions were more favourable and the athletes both improved their standings. On Saturday, Winkelaar placed seventh in his category for the 7.5 km Individual race, with two bouts of prone, and two bouts of standing shooting. Johnston placed fifth in his 6.0 km Individual

race, with three bouts of prone shooting. In Sunday’s Sprint race, Winkelaar placed sixth in the 6.0 km race with two shooting bouts, and Johnston placed seventh in his 4.5 km race with two shooting bouts. Next weekend, these athletes will be joined by their teammates and other club members for the third Biathlon BC Cup Race at the Whistler Olympic Park in Callaghan. On Sunday, March 19, from 12-2 p.m., the club is hosting a Give It A Shot! program for anyone interested in trying out biathlon. check out vibiathlon. ca for registration details for this event or to learn more about the club.

If you want to watch a fun sport with continuous action, freestyle wrestling is for you. The local wrestling association is hosting the CRWA Invite Jan. 28 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Timberline which attracts approximatley 135 athletes from Vancouver Island, the Lower Mainland, Alberta and the United States. Ages of wrestlers vary from Grades 3-5 in the elementary division, Grades 6-8 in the middle school age division and Grades 9-12 for the secondary school wrestlers. Locally, there will be wrestlers from not only Carihi and Timberline but also from Southgate, Phoenix and some elementary schools. Campbell River has some athletes that are training for Provincials and Nationals this year a testament to local coaching skills and athletic talent. This type of wrestling is similar to the Olympic wrestling and is, therefore, very demanding on the athletes physically and mentally. These athletes train many times a week to elevate their conditioning and strength to the maximum. The wrestlers have to score points or pin their opponent to get the victory within two three-minute rounds. Admission is free for everyone and a concession will be there. All the money raised goes back to CRWA. Come out for a few hours of free entertainment and encourage our local wrestlers.

Better Late Than Never…

Isn’t it amazing how quickly things get behind you? If we’re talking about corners on your favourite trail, then this is great. It means we’re riding really fast and having fun. If it’s your buddies on that same ride it’s even better, you just dropped them on a big ride and boosted your ego. Remember to act all rested when they catch up so it looks convincing when you tell them you were taking it easy. But when it’s life, it always surprises me how quickly something that seems so important just gets pushed off and before you know it a year or two, or seven, have passed you by. When Chenoa and I started Swicked we started our group rides and it has been a great success, but we also wanted to start some youth rides and couldn’t squeeze it in. No problem, we said, once we get settled and a bit more organized we’ll add the kids’ rides into the mix. Seven

FRIDAY, JANUARY JANUARY 20, 20, 2017 2017 || CAMPBELL CAMPBELL RIVER RIVER MIRROR MIRROR || 19 19 FRIDAY,

years later and it still hasn’t happened! Lack of help, lack of time, too much family stuff… blah blah blah. Something always bumped it down the list and now here we are in 2017. We see lots of kids who love to ride, but the adult group rides don’t suit their needs. These kids want to ride with other kids, advance their skills and fitness and maybe even try racing, but this can be a little intimidating without some guidance. We also see lots of kids that are super keen, but maybe their parents don’t ride, so it’s hard to get them

what they want, or where they need to be and, to be honest, sending your 10-year-old out into the trails on a solo ride is a bad idea. So we have always had a vision of starting a Youth Mountain Bike Team. Get like-minded kids together, let them feed off each other, maybe throw in some coaching and organize some group trips to ride new areas or try out some racing on the Island. It’s not about winning or creating the next Olympian, we just want there to be a venue and a team atmosphere for these kids to do what they love, ride mountain bikes. FINALLY OUR

VISION BECOMES A REALITY! Maybe we just needed a bit of a push? A couple of months back our friends mentioned they would love to see a youth club in Campbell River for their kids and that was it, we teamed up, split up the duties and organized a Youth Mountain Bike club. Thanks to Andy and Ang for the motivation, the great ideas and for partnering with us to make this a reality! So if you have a kid who loves to ride, is between the ages of 9 and 14 and is just keen to advance their skills and fitness then maybe this is for you.

We’ll start it small in year one, but hope to have lots of little groms ripping around our amazing single track for years to come. I’m James Durand and I’m Goin’ Ridin’…

Fishing Corner with

Don Daniels

Last year when Royal Lepage Advance Realty announced that a fishing derby would be held in June, a number of salmon anglers in Campbell River had varied comments to make. One comment was that June was too early for salmon and that there are no fish. A derby would not go over later in the summer because guides are busy with their clients and everyone is busy with holidays, etc. Around Vancouver Island there are derbies a-plenty and held at varied dates. If there are no salmon in June, tell that to Cody Johnstone who caught the big salmon and took top prize money. Deanna Collins has informed me that Saturday, June 10 has been set for this year’s derby. Last year more than 700 entrants registered, raising nearly $45,000 towards salmon enhancement locally and the North Island Transition Society. This derby will be the launch of the salmon fishing season in Campbell River and the folks at Royal Lepage put in many hours getting prizes and staffing the

event, which was well supported last year. There has been a handful of days in January that salmon fishing can be done at Shelter Point and Willow Point. Meanwhile, the Hump has seen very limited activity. On Saturday, there were a number of

anglers heading out from the Big Rock boat launch. There were lots of undersize salmon around but there were a few 20 pounders and mid teens sized salmon. A lure that is a cross between a fly and a lure is the Jensen FlashFly used by anglers in Port Hardy and Campbell River for both coho and chinook. There was a good turnout of avid fly tiers who came out to the Vancouver Island Regional Library in Campbell River to take part in learning to work with fly tying materials We make it fun and every one gets to watch and take part in learning the basics of tying flies. This Sunday we will be at Tyee Marine in Campbell River beginning at 1 p.m. Following sessions will be at the library Sunday, Feb. 13 and back at the Elder College Feb. 16. Tyee Marine provides prizes for those who come and participate and anyone who has an interest is welcome to attend this free event.
