Drugs: Overdose prevention site advocated for Campbell River From Pg. 1

According to statistics presented by Enns, 90 per cent of overdose deaths in B.C. last year occurred inside a private residence or other building. In December, following the spike in overdose deaths, the province issued a ministerial order to health authorities across B.C. to establish overdose prevention sites to address the issue of people using alone. Island Health has been running such a facility in Victoria for nearly two months and just

recently established an overdose prevention site in Nanaimo. Enns said for smaller communities like Campbell River, Island Health intends to create multiple sites with one or two stations inside an already existing Island Health or associated site. The service will likely be incorporated into the facility’s other responsibilities, rather than acting as a stand alone. The overdose prevention sites exist to provide a safe space for people to inject their illicit substances with sterile

equipment, in a setting where staff – typically paramedics – can observe and intervene in overdoses as needed. Enns pointed out that the overdose prevention sites are not the same as safe consumption sites which require federal government approval and provide a much fuller and robust service. Jan Tatlock, Island Health’s director of public health, said at safe injection sites, people come in with their supply, move to the injection portion of the room and then move to the ‘chill

out’ portion of the room. “They can stay minimally for 20 minutes, 30 minutes, but sometimes they stay longer,” Tatlock said. “It’s a time they can interact with others, they can access services or even ask some questions at that time.” Lisa Murphy, Island Health’s director of mental health and substance abuse, said that the aim of the sites is about saving lives. She said that typically those who overdose are people who feel disconnected from their community and isolated because they know

they’re engaging in an illegal activity. “We know most of the deaths are occurring because people are alone in their home so any opportunity to have people come to a supervised site, even consistently continually hearing the message not to use alone,” Murphy said. “Knowing city council, law enforcement, health and other partners we work with are welcoming and encouraging them to come for a lifesaving service sends a very positive message to people who felt alone in

their illness.” At Monday’s council meeting, Coun. Colleen Evans praised Island Health for its efforts. “It is about saving lives,” said Evans. “And when we have the potential to save lives, that’s a good day.” Following Enns’ presentation, council gave support in principle to Island Health’s efforts to address illicit overdoses in the city, as well as an overdose prevention and management working group that was initiated in Campbell River in July, 2016 and includes

Island Health and its community partners, as well as School District 72, BC Ambulance, fire, RCMP, Kwakiutl District Council and the First Nations Health Authority. Council also agreed to provide a city staff member to participate in the working group. “I think you know it goes without saying that we support in principle,” Mayor Andy Adams told Enns. “More importantly, it’s raising awareness of a very, very unfortunate issue that’s happening in our community.”

Robron turf field to get a new name The Robron turf field is getting a new name as city council has approved selling naming rights to the venue. At its Monday meeting, council agreed to enter into an agree-

ment with aquaculture company Cermaq Canada Ltd. which is headquartered in Campbell River. In e xc h ange for $100,000 to the city, the Robron field will bear Cermaq’s name. “Under the agreement, the city will

provide Cermaq with naming rights to the field for a period of 10 years with an option to renew for a further 10-year period,” said Elle Brovold, the city’s property manager. “The funding amount for the renewal term will be negotiated

between the parties at the end of the first term.” Brovold said the agreement also allows Cermaq to put up signage on the field. “C ermaq will b e responsible for the costs associated with the signage (instal-

as Cermaq Turf, as requested by Cermaq. In exchange, Cermaq will make three payments to the city. The first $50,000 will be paid on March 21 of this year, with $25,000 payments each on March 1, 2018 and on March 1, 2019. The funds are to be used to help Campbell River Youth Soccer Association build a field house at Robron Park. The field house is to be constructed at the south end of the turf field and include change rooms, public washrooms, wheelchair access, a concession, a multi-purpose banquet room, a board room and wrap-around deck that overlooks the Robron play fields. T h e f i e l d h ou s e has been a community effort with several groups, including Rotary, donating to the project. Seymour Pacific has chipped in detailed plans and building materials while the city has committed $408,000 to pay for the installation of site services, the change ro oms and public washrooms. Cermaq’s sponsorship is just the latest. At Monday’s council

meeting, Mayor Andy Adams thanked Cermaq for investing in the community, as did Coun. Colleen Evans at a November council meeting when youth soccer first put forward Cermaq’s proposal. “Here is a great example of collaboration, community building seen between two partners. That really is just so important,” Evans said. “You need to have that community investment and to see a corporation committing to Campbell River in this way, I just want to say thank you very much for your commitment.” Meanwhile, Campbell River Youth Soccer is hoping to begin construction on the field house this year but that will depend on the city which is facing a busy year full of capital projects. Once the field house is constructed it will be turned over to the city for ownership and operation. The city has projected an annual operations budget of $75,000 which includes maintenance and operations staff, security and utilities such as electrical, water, heat and insurance.

The staff of Timberline Secondary have come up with an interesting way of expanding the educational opportunities for local high school students with what they call “Flex.” It’s part of what the school district is referring to as “transforming learning” in our region, “which is less about curriculum and content and more about how we engage our students,” according to Nevenka Far, district assistant superintendent. That includes incorporating “flexible learning environments, personalized learning and providing more opportunities for students to develop their core competencies.” To accomplish this, Wednesday’s schedule is a bit different than the rest of the days of the week. The four instructional blocks – A, B, C and D – the students get every day are still taught on Wednesday, they’re just condensed into shorter blocks in the morning to free up the afternoon for Flex. Then in the afternoon, students get to decide whether they want to take support, enrichment or other types of opportunities in

two separate one-hour blocks. To create “support opportunities,” two common areas are set up – one in the cafeteria for maths and sciences and one in the library for humanities – where students can go to get one-on-one help with assignments, nail down concepts they are struggling with or finish class projects. “Enrichment opportunities” are ways to further the knowledge or skills they are gaining in their courses, such as spending more time in the metal shop to work on an especially complex project or get together with a couple other members of school band to create a jazz quartet.

some freedoms: Principal From Pg. 5

teaches a Flex block each Wednesday called “At Issue,” where they put on an interactive lecture about current events and social issues, “and it is very low risk for students, because it’s not graded, so all types of kids feel welcome to attend our lecture or go try archery, for example. Because there isn’t a mark attached to it, it’s all about learning and experiencing it for the sake of learning and experiencing it, which opens it up to everybody.” Hrysio and Heslop regularly have 100 students or more voluntarily take their lectures, which tells them they’re doing something right. This is the second year Timberline has been running the Flex program, and Principal Jeremy Morrow admits the implementation of such a vastly different way of looking at education – even if it was just for one half-day of the week – has absolutely had its bumps. In fact, when they were gathering feedback from parents, only about half of them thought it was even an idea worth continuing to explore. Parent concerns, Morrow says, were the same ones the teachers had when discussing the program’s implementation, which was mainly

Kids from all grades join in on a game of dodgeball Wednesday afternoon in the Timberline gym, one of many options available for students to choose for their Flex blocks this week.

accountability and participation levels. The problem with the rollout, Morrow admits, was that they were lacking the accountability aspect. There was no reason – other than the learning they would engage in simply for the sake of learning it – for the students to not simply skip Wednesday afternoons. After all, it wasn’t mandatory for them to attend, they weren’t taking attendance and there were no grades or credits to be had for showing up. They feel they’ve addressed that this year, however, since the school has implemented an internal website where students will register each Wednesday morning for the Flex blocks they want to attend in the afternoon either using their phones or through computers in the school. Then the teacher of each Flex

Enter the

block session takes attendance and marks in the software whether the students actually attended, the same way they would during a regular block. Students who choose not to participate in Flex or are using the afternoon sessions on Wednesday to volunteer in the community – or even pick up shifts at work – need to have a permission slip from home signed and returned to the school, Heslop says, making attendance accountability during Flex blocks similar to regular blocks through the rest of the week. Morrow admits attendance still isn’t where he’d like to see it, but says its an idea they’re committed to continuing to work on until all the fixes have been tried. Because the education system, he says, isn’t working for a lot of kids

the way it is. “The number of kids over the last few years, according to our satisfaction surveys, who like school, who feel safe at school, has been increasing, but the number of kids who are reporting that it’s not preparing them for their future is increasing year by year, as well. We need to make sure that we’re relevant to kids – that we’re connecting with them in meaningful ways – and Flex is an attempt at restructuring how we do things, but it’s not the end of the journey for us. Flex is the beginning of disrupting our thinking and imagining what is possible.” He says he heard an analogy once at a conference that really resonated with him, comparing a free-range chicken and a battery hen. “A battery hen is pellet fed,” Morrow says. “It’s an efficiency model. They’re given the exact thing needed to get the growth you want out of them. But if you were to take them out of their cage, they wouldn’t have the strength to stand on their own feet. They wouldn’t have the capacity to fend for themselves. “We need to take the cage away. And the cage has been the bell ringing every 75 minutes and sending the kids to the next class and then to the next class.”

The five stages of (this year’s snow) grief 1. Whimsy

Oh look, it’s snowing. That’s kind of nice. We don’t get much snow here. You know what’s going to be fun? Watching my son play in it after school. Maybe there will be enough to build a snowman. Sure, it’ll probably have a bunch of dirt and bits of grass in it, but it’ll still be fun. Oh wait, nobody’s got their snow tires on yet, and people always get all freaked out on the roads when it snows. Mental Note: Be careful out there. Many people won’t leave themselves enough time to get where they’re going, and then get mad at the city for not clearing every street in town immediately so they could keep driving the same way they always do, when they actually don’t really need to go anywhere anyway. 2. Amazement Wow. It’s still snowing. I guess that’s fine. We don’t usually get much snow here, so every once in a while it’s kind of nice to get a bit more than normal. I mean, we should really

MUSINGS Mike Davies

The brutal attack on a Quebec City mosque was not an isolated incident. In Canada, we like to pride ourselves on our acceptance of cultural difference, especially compared to our neighbours to the south. We smugly assert that what happens there can’t happen here. But it has. A white man who was a fan of Donald Trump and French far-right politician Marine Le Pen, who was scornful of refugees and women, is accused of murdering six people and wounding numerous others in the Jan. 29 attack. He may be alone for now in turning his hatred into murderous intent, but if we don’t do something now, he won’t be the last. Hatred simmers under the surface in Canada, and more and more it has been bubbling up in public. The racist and misogynist goons who have haunted the internet since it was invented have grown more organized. They have been emboldened by the election of President Donald Trump, and by the variety of fringe right-wing figures he has surrounded himself with. They have spilled into the real world. Racist flyers have cropped up from Richmond to New Westminster to Abbotsford in recent weeks. It would be wrong to link this phenomenon only to outsiders. Political elites in Canada have to shoulder some of the blame. There has long been a tradition of stirring up a bit of populist xenophobia among politicians – from Stephen Harper’s ill-advised niqab gambit during the election, to Quebec’s attempt to ban all religious symbols and garments in public service – except for the cross in the National Assembly, of course. We have to decide, as a society, to say no to racism and sexism. We have to do that before the next massacre. -Black Press

Better get to the store before they sell out again this afternoon, because apparently everyone in town needs to buy a new shovel every time it snows – based on my lack of ability to get one anywhere during the last blast of this nonsense.

Council urged to continue on with parking fee ban KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

“We’re behind you all the way.” That was the message from Dave Owen who, along with eight other Campbell River citizens, urged city council to follow through on banning pay parking at the new Campbell River Hospital. Owen shared his own experience of struggling with cancer and having the stress of worrying about whether or not he would face hefty parking fines or worse, have his car towed, if he didn’t make it back to the parking meter in time. “Nothing was worse than getting a (chemotherapy) drip and you don’t know if that parking meter is going to run out or not, it depends on the person and the drip,” Owen said during a public hearing Monday night on a proposed bylaw that, if passed by council, will prohibit parking fees at the hospital. “You’re sitting there and you put in three hours, you’re on your fourth hour and you’re wondering, ‘Should I get out of here? Because I’m not going to have a

vehicle to go home in if that’s the case’ and that’s a lot of tension for a lot of people.” Joanne Banks shared a similar story of trying to cope with expensive parking fees on top of medical costs when a family member falls ill. She told council that her son, who had a high paying job with a Fortune 500 company, was forced to quit when his kidneys failed. Banks travelled back and forth from Campbell River to Vancouver to see her son, accruing costs for the ferry, food and gas. The situation was made worse by the daily parking fees at Vancouver General Hospital (VGH). “There is hourly, daily and monthly parking at VGH and all the surrounding streets are metered. The daily rate was $18 and the hourly rate was $6. In the first month, my parking costs were $464: $200 during the hospital stay and another $246 for my son’s many more followup treatments,” Banks said. “I was on a fixed income and when you put out dollars for hospital pay parking, another part of your already

stretched budget suffers; perhaps you cut back on food, medications or risk not paying a Hydro bill. “This is a common story and it doesn’t have to happen here,” Banks told council. “I strongly urge you to vote for this bylaw to ban pay parking at our hospital and other public spaces.” Council is currently in the midst of considering a bylaw amendment to prohibit charging for parking on all 191 sites within the city limits that are zoned Public Areas One which includes all schools, churches, the Sportsplex, museum, Robron Park, RCMP station, Strathcona Gardens, the majority of city parks and other health, social and educational uses. Council previously passed first and second reading of the bylaw and on Monday held the required public hearing to gather input from the public. All eight people who spoke at the hearing were in favour of the bylaw, as were another 17 who submitted correspondence to the city. The bylaw is up for third reading, and potentially adoption, at the Feb. 20 council meeting and those who spoke

out on Monday urged council to move forward with the ban. Speakers included North Island MLA Claire Trevena who wanted to thank council on behalf of all North Islanders for bringing the proposed bylaw forward. “People are already facing the cost of ferries if they’re coming from the islands, the cost of gas, the cost of accommodations, the cost of food,” Trevena said. “I’ve had a number of constituents come to me who are extremely emotional about this – people who have seen the impacts of pay parking.” Trevena recounted one man’s story of going to the hospital to visit his wife. “He said he couldn’t feed the meter all the time and he knew he’d get a ticket, he knew he’d get his car towed but with respect to his wife, he knew it had to be,” said Trevena, who added that charging for parking at the hospital also impacts the Canadian principle of access for all to universal health care. Lois Jarvis, co-founder of the Campbell River Citizens for Quality Healthcare group, said

that a cancer patient in Winnipeg recently started a petition to ban hospital pay parking for that very reason, that parking fees fly in the face of free health care. “Why should a cancer patient undergoing chemotherapy or any other patient with a serious illness have to worry about a parking meter?” Jarvis said. She said hospital staff, which would not be immune to pay parking, shouldn’t have to worry about parking fees either. “We very much value all our fine hospital staff,” Jarvis said. “They deal with whatever humanity tosses at them every day and they do it with professionalism and empathy. They have tough jobs. We cannot demean them by making them pay for parking to go to work. We respectfully urge our council to pass third reading of

this proposed bylaw to prohibit any pay parking at our hospital.” Campbell River council has been debating the issue of pay parking since early last year when Coun. Larry Samson suggested Campbell River follow Delta’s lead in banning pay parking at its hospital through a zoning bylaw. Island Health announced in 2015 that it intends to charge for parking at new hospitals in the Comox Valley and Campbell River when

they open later this year. The health authority has said that parking fee revenues will go towards parking lot management, maintenance and security. Island Health has said that volunteers, hospital auxiliary members, pastoral care providers, renal patients and family caregivers will be exempt from parking fees and that hardship provisions will be in place to waive or reduce fees where they pose a genuine financial challenge.

MANAGING YOUR MONEY Preparing for layoffs 3x8 You’re very good at your job and yet, you’re about to be laid off. That’s the unfortunate reality of job security – or the lack of it – in today’s up and down economy. Fortunately, a layoff doesn’t have to be total doom and gloom – if you’re ready for it. Here are five effective ways to prepare yourself emotionally and financially for a layoff.

hit a wildly speculative jackpot.

Investors

1. Get your finances in order Your layoff may be short or long but it’s prudent to plan for the long haul by determining the minimum amount of money you need each month to cover basic costs for food, housing, debt payments and so on. Identify and cut or, at least trim, nonessential costs. Find out how much financial support you are entitled to through Employment Insurance (EI) and other government programs such as those that provide funding for retraining programs. Figure out how much additional monthly money you’ll need from your savings or other sources. Then set a realistic budget and, when the time comes, stick to it. 2. Save in an emergency fund Whether you’ve been working for a year or a decade, you should build an emergency fund that will cover at least six months of your essential expenses should you be laid off. 3. Stay the course with your investments If you have a well-conceived financial plan that may include RRSPs, TFSAs, mutual funds and other investments, stay with it. DO NOT go looking for a fast buck by cashing in your investments and gambling on big returns from the latest “hot” stock. You’re much more likely to lose your money than to

4. Know your employee benefits Before you leave your workplace, find out about any company unemployment benefits you may be entitled to and if your employersponsored health/medical coverage and/or life insurance will end or continue for a period after your layoff. Consider converting these to individual coverage. Find out what your pension plan options are. You may also be owed for unused vacation time, project completion bonuses, or other accrued financial benefits – so check. If you are offered a severance package, don’t be shy about negotiating for a better one. If you aren’t offered a severance package, try for one, you may have an entitlement under provincial employment standards legislation. 5. Update your resume You’re happy and fulfilled by your job but because you never know … keep your resume up to date and stay on the lookout for new opportunities. Networking is also important whether you’re employed or laid off – opportunities can come from anyone or anywhere. Getting laid off is stressful but by taking the right steps you’ll ease your mind and your transition. In fact, being laid off may give you the time you need to take stock of your life and aim for something new and exciting. You can ease your financial stress during a layoff (and afterward) by talking to your professional advisor about the best financial plan for your situation as it is today and as it will be tomorrow – no matter what tomorrow may bring.

SD72 report highlights performance, outlines challenges MIKE DAVIES CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Superintendent of schools Tom Longridge presented his annual report to the board of education at last week’s public meeting, and he says while district schools are performing well academically relative to the rest of the province, there are certainly some things that need to be addressed. Some of the positives within the district highlighted by Longridge’s 2016 report include increasing graduation rates – which were already above provincial averages – increasing numeracy and numeracy scores on standardized testing, high levels of safety and mental health awareness within schools and physical improvements to facilities such as increasing the number of wheelchair ramps, completion of seismic upgrading on many facilities, meeting carbon emission targets four years early and increased recycling programs within schools. These positives are backed in the report by various forms of data, from surveys of parents, teachers and students to results of academic testing. Longridge does admit, however, that there are many challenges within the district that he and district staff will be working on

as they go forward. One of those challenges is the age and condition of the facilities within the district. Longridge says the district receives frequent complaints from students, staff and parents about the cleanliness of schools, and although they do their best to keep schools as clean as possible, it’s difficult to achieve a standard above “moderately dingy” when you’re dealing with aging schools like many of the ones in our district. He also cites the need for building business cases to but before the government to fund new schools, since the funding to repair the ones we already have “is not available to the degree required.” The age of the buildings in the district, Longridge also says in his report, “makes it difficult to accommodate new curriculum and student needs,” like implementing gender neutral bathrooms and changing facilities. And while the academic testing shows improvement over previous years, Longridge says in his report there are concerns on that front, as well. Some of the academic data itself, for example, such as the Foundation Skills Assessment (FSA) test, can be somewhat unreliable in some ways.

Superintendent of Schools Tom Longridge says while the district is doing many things well, there is certainly room for improvement on some fonts.

“The FSA is not supported all that well in some schools throughout the province, so the reliability of that (data) always gets put into question because of the politicization of that particular instrument,” Longridge told the board last week in delivering his report. “It’s one of those pieces of data that we use and we’d like to continue to use, but we have to take

if for what it is, which is that it’s problematic to a degree, but we still feel there’s some utility to that data.” There’s also the problem that many educational improvement factors can’t be quantified with numbers and charts. “When you talk about the things that our students are able to do, a lot of it you just can’t add up,” Longridge

says. “You can’t make it into graphs and charts.

You can’t replicate it numerically, and yet that’s how we have to distill things down into a report. “We want to get better at measuring what you should be measuring, not just what you can measure,” Longridge continues. “When you see what kids are actually learning and how capable they are, it’s not always represented in the data we’re able to collect.” And while he says they have made great progress in addressing mental health needs and education within the district, there is still room to grow in that area, as well. “We’re doing a lot

Campbell River home to two of three Island’s K-9 search teams

hether it is by helicopter, boat or car, if Daryl Beck or Natasha Provost are asked to bring in their search dogs to participate in a search, they do. Their dogs are trained to get to the scene. But just because there is a dog on the scene, that doesn’t mean the search is over, Beck said. “I am just one more part or our search organization.” Dogs take the place of manpower. Beck figures a team of two with a dog can search the same area as a group of 10 people. “We don’t follow the dog, the dog follows our pattern,” Beck said. Keeva and Spirit are

air scenting dogs. They don’t follow scent on the ground, they look for things that are out of place in the bush. Because of that it is better for them to search when it is cooler out, because as the temperature drops the scent drops closer to the ground as well, Beck explained. So if they have a choice of areas they are going to search, they might wait for the day to cool off or they might choose a more shaded area. Provost and Beck have also learned to use the wind and read the geography to better utilize their dogs noses. When tackling a field they work their way into the wind. If there is a ditch or a ravine, they send

the dogs to the bottom instead of just walking along the edge. Part of their search and rescue training is to consider what a person lost in the woods would do, so they will send their dogs over to a grove of trees that might seem like a safe place to hunker down. The dogs sometimes have to work for hours and hours on end, but one of the most important parts is ensuring their safety and making sure they can still actually do their job. Spirit cut her paw on a search once, and that was the end of the day for her. “If they aren’t acting themselves you have to make the decision, is this going to affect the search and if it is you

say no we are done we have to stop,” Provost said. Provost got Spirit specifically to be a search and rescue dog. The first puppy she brought home didn’t have the motivation to do the job, so Provost returned her to the breeder to be re-homed. “It was a very, very hard and emotional decision, after all the time and money that you put in to training,” she said. “But if my child was out there lost, I know I would want a dog that I know was going to work.” Beck had a similar experience. He has two dogs of the same breed, Keeva is an amazing search dog and the other is better just as a family pet.

Riptide weather Storm in double header

Marine Harvest Riptide U17/18 boys went into last weekend’s Saturday game against Nanaimo Storm with just 11 players. Being mentally prepared for having no subs, the team came together and played their positions well.

Shohei Iwamoto passed the ball down the line to Riley Fussel to score at the end of the first half, putting Marine Harvest Riptide ahead by one. Nearing the end of the second half, Liam Creek sprinted down the field, anticipating the pass from Austin

Rodgers, then crossed the ball into the 18-yard box where Fusell headed it in for the team’s second goal to lock up a 2-0 victory. The next day, the Riptide came into Sunday’s game with the same focus and enthusiasm from the previous day. Substitute

goalie, Hans Haagerup, permitting up from the CUVSC U18 Select team stepped in and played a great game, making an incredible save on a breakaway in the first half.Nanaimo Storm was strong, securing the first goal nearing the end of

the first half. The Riptide, though, pulled up their socks and were dominant in the second half. In a vie for the ball in front of the Storm net, Iwamoto scored on a bounce in the Riptide’s favour to tie up the game resulting in a 1-1 final score.

It’s not my fault SPIN MY

RIDE James Durand

I learned as a young b oy racing motocross that there are no excuses, no one to blame and the only reason you won or lost a race was because, simply put, you were faster than everyone else that day or you weren’t. When I started an apprenticeship after high school, there were a few of us rookies and when things went sideways or mistakes were made, I learned early on the value of owning your mistakes. Everyone screws up once in a while, but looking for a way out or someone else to blame is not honourable and generally gets you some sideways looks. Just taking the hit and learning from it so you know better next time is way better, and it seems to always be a respected approach. So as I grew, and matured, and made mistakes, I always just admitted it, took the blame and moved on. It is funny to see the look on some people’s faces when they want to blame you but you just stole their thunder. It does speed things up though and makes it easier to get the mistake resolved. This is what I teach my kids, what I expect from the Swicked team and how I conduct my daily life.

Opinion You may have read my article last week about how amazing the weather had become, how spring has arrived early and how the riding conditions were as good as they get. You may have also noticed that while you were reading that article you were sitting inside with a hot drink beside a warm fire, because we were being buried under a massive snow fall. It probably didn’t seem spring-like at all did it? So it might be construed as a mistake, but no matter my beliefs on taking responsibility for our own decisions, this one is NOT my fault! And here’s why. The editor at the paper makes me meet a Tuesday deadline. Something about needing time to put an entire paper together for Fri-

day delivery. Writing three days early makes it hard to predict the weather, so how could I have known it was going to snow on the day the paper comes out? You may now mention the weather report predicted snow, but really how often are the weather reports correct, so can you really blame me for this one? Let’s talk to the weather man and ask why he chose this week to be right? Ground Hog day was two days after my deadline, so even that furry little rodent was no help at all, Six more weeks of winter, blah blah blah. Maybe the Ground Hog should have a Tuesday deadline! And every time I hear the term “Global Warming,” I think of being warm. Maybe we should just call it Climate Change, because the last time I checked, snow is not warm. Even though this was not my fault in any way, as I think I just proved, I’m still sorry I misguided you all with optimism for an early spring. I do hope you got out last week for a couple of dry rides. With any luck, it won’t be long until spring actually arrives for good. No matter who’s fault this is, let’s not be too
