Police take no chances with fake guns RENÉE ANDOR CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Three youths are lucky to be uninjured after a high risk take down by Campbell River RCMP revealed the weapons the were carrying were fake. Police received a complaint of a male, dressed in all black clothing, walking down Spit Rd. towards the Island Highway carrying a machine gun at 1:57 a.m. on Aug. 28. Members on shift responded and located three youths matching the description, who were taken into custody. In this instance the youths put the weapons down in the grass just prior to police arrival, and there were no injuries. But police had their guns drawn, and there was “potential for lethal oversight,” according to Sgt. Craig Massey of the Campbell River RCMP. “Police believe the guns are real until they are proven otherwise,” wrote Cpl. Poppy Hallam in a news release. A total of four imitation firearms were located and seized. Three were handguns and one was an assault rifle; all were Airsoft guns. One of the handguns had been clear originally, but was blacked out, including the orange muzzle, and the assault rifle also Continued on A4

RCMP dive team searches for body RENÉE ANDOR CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
A search for a missing man on the weekend ended in tragedy. Forty-six-year-old Peter Bowers drowned in Carrington Bay on Quadra Island sometime Fri. night. An annual party takes place at Carrington Bay; this year about
500 people were in attendance, including Bowers who was staying on a friend’s sailboat moored out in the bay, according to Const. Martin Neveu of the Quadra Island RCMP. After attending the party he went back to the boat with a friend. That friend went to sleep at about 10:30 p.m. on Fri. night, which was when Bowers was last seen.
Another friend came back to the boat at about midnight, but assumed Bowers had gone back to the party on the beach when he didn’t see him, so he didn’t think anything of him not being on the boat. When his friends awoke in the morning just before 10 a.m. and couldn’t find Bowers they called the RCMP.
RCMP arrived on scene at about 10:30 a.m., and a search was initiated with the help of the Canadian Coast Guard and the West Coast Marine Service, with the RCMP dive team coming later in the day. Neveu said that although RCMP and searchers keep open minds about the possible whereabouts Continued on A4

als for new homes. “We do these salvage operations for two reasons – it keeps materials from entering the landfill and we raise funds for our mission, to build homes for people who need them,” said Ken Miller of Habitat for Humanity Campbell River. Coast Realty Group, who works for the new owner of the old building, contacted Habitat for Humanity to give permission to take what they can from inside the facility. Miller and his crew have been dismantling parts of the school for about a month now and figure they’ll be working for about another week more. Volunteer Terri Chalaturnyk, from Coast Realty Group, found not only precious recyclables but a keepsake of sorts. Behind a cabinet was a dusty piece of ripped, orange construction paper with a note written by two students on May 23,1968. It reads: “Campbellton is the

The society built a duplex on Maple Street in 2009 and it hopes to build more. Miller said the group hopes to see a fall start, but housing all hinges on whether there’s land available that the city is willing to part with. The materials taken from Campbellton School, which was sold by School District 72 to E&D Properties Ltd. in late June, will go to the Campbell River ReStore but will go towards housing projects in both the Comox Valley and Campbell River.

he may have fallen off the boat and drowned,” said Neveu. The RCMP dive team arrived shortly after 4 p.m., and they discovered Bowers’ body

Guns... Continued from A1 had its muzzle blacked out. “These firearms, I’ve looked at them myself, they’re very realistic looking,” said Const. Keeley Deley. The youths were arrested for possession of weapons dangerous to the public and possession of imitation firearms. They were taken into custody, but released to their parents shortly after. According to Deley, restorative justice is being considered because the youths cooperated with police and have no history of criminal records. This is the second incident of this nature in a few weeks, wrote Hallam in the release. And she reminds the public that imitation guns, especially blacked out ones seen at night, look realistic to police, and create a dangerous situation for everyone. “It is scary for the public to be arrested at gun point and it is scary for police to attend to these sorts of calls,” she said.

Our Water Alien invasives 2X14 – should we be concerned?
If an alien population appeared in our homes, cutting off our space, food supply and drastically changing the quality of our air and water, we’d probably do something Luisa Richardson about it. Fast. We’d stop it, or eliminate it, even if the alien species that accidentally invaded our space was simply trying to survive. Yet many of us are introducing alien (non-native) species into the local forests that protect our water supply by a common practice which 30% of people surveyed consider “harmless”: Dumping yard waste into forests and streams. These plants can quickly spread and dominate over natural species. Wherever you see lamium (silver nettle), periwinkle or ivy in the woods, you often find a smoking gun: a broken plant pot, the remains of a garbage bag, or other household garbage. Yard waste rapidly spreads another alien which, on its own could not travel more than 800 metres in 100 years: Earthworms. These champions of our compost heaps were introduced from Europe and Asia. They are not native to local ecosystems and can alter the normal rate of nutrient cycling in native forests. Not only does yard waste dumping introduce alien species, but it is also an additional source of nutrients to lakes and streams. This can act like fertilizer in lakes and streams, encouraging algal growth and reducing available oxygen which can affect fish habitat and the quality of drinking water. This year during annual watershed clean-up, 1.2 tonnes of yard waste has been removed from around John Hart Lake. In a community that now has both curbside collection and a free yard waste drop off center, there is no excuse for this practice. Help us protect the communities drinking watershed by reporting illegal dumping. Email waterwise@ campbellriver.ca or call 250-203-2316. More information is available at www.campbellriver.ca

Tidemark Theatre and library get landscaping facelift Landscaping between the Tidemark Theatre and the Campbell River Library is getting a multi-purpose facelift. The City of Campbell River is pruning and replanting landscaping beds as well as upgrading the irrigation system in the courtyard between the two facilities. The new landscape
design was developed by the City’s two horticulturalists and incorporates crime prevention environmental design standards. The Downtown Business Improvement Association and Stacey Larson of Ladybug Greenhouse also had input into the new look that will keep the area lush and green throughout the year and brighten
it up with color in late spring and throughout summer. The new design will also visually tie in this area with Spirit Square and includes brighter lighting. “While access to the Tidemark and the library will continue, people can expect to see some areas of the courtyard cordoned off while work is in
progress,” explains Ross Milnthorp, the City’s general manager of parks, recreation and culture. “We thank all the downtown businesses and their customers for their support and patience while we make these improvements,” Milnthorp adds. City staff have met with people working

Our View
Maybe Rick should be talking to Campbell Riverites Well, CBC personality Rick Mercer certainly made waves in Campbell River during his visit here last week. The country’s favourite political satirist and social commentator, We say: Love to dropped by for a swim with the salmon segment to be included in his hear the CBC show Rick Mercer Report. Mercer satirist lampoon appeared, as he always does, to be having a blast during his day on – Campbell River and in – the waters of the famous Campbell River. The popularity of the man who brought Canadians such brilliant sketches as Talking to Americans and
his poignant but funny video rants was evidenced by how many people were talking about his visit and how many tried to catch a glimpse of him on the water. It’s too bad we couldn’t have had Mercer stick around for a few weeks to absorb Campbell River’s political culture and get him to expound on his particular take on the goings on in this community. The Mirror could use him as a municipal columnist for a while. Wouldn’t that be fun? Of course, it may be impossible for even Mercer to improve on the hilarious goings on in this community. Truth is stranger than fiction, they say, and it’s often funnier than comedy.
In the meantime, it was a brilliant stroke of promotion to have Mercer here as his salmon swimming segment will undoubtedly be seen by thousands of Canadians and will do more in a few minutes of air time than thousands of dollars worth of tourism advertising ever could. Maybe he could revive his Talking to Americans segment and get U.S. tourists to congratulate Campbell River for whittling away acres of land from a prime downtown waterfront lot and let the rest of it waste away like a sandy dust bowl for decades in the face of a beautiful seascape, passing cruise ships and frolicking whales. Naw, forget it. Nobody would fall for that.
Good point: Teachers After reading Tom Fletcher’s column published in the Campbell River Mirror in early August, I felt that a response to some of his teacher bashing was needed. I realize that Mr. Fletcher is a columnist presenting his opinions and does not follow the same guidelines as actual journalists who must present honest and balanced articles to the public. He sarcastically criticizes the BCTF proposals at the bargaining table for wage increases and contract improvements. But he fails to mention several crucial distinctions between teachers and other B.C. public sector workers who have recently settled contracts. First of all, not all public sector workers have settled within the so-called “Zero mandate”. Both nurses and police officers recently settled for close to nine per cent over three years. Keep in mind that that probably will not even keep up to cost of living increases. But more importantly, only B.C. teachers have been working under an illegally stripped contract for the past decade. In the decision of the B.C. Supreme Court, it is shown that the government illegally stripped our contract in January 2002 and deprived teachers of both the benefits of the contract and of their charter rights as Canadians. The main clauses that were stripped were the limits on class size and composition. When teachers had bargained these clauses, they were so important to the learning conditions in classrooms that we agreed to a 0-0-2 wage mandate in exchange. So we not only lost these important provisions when the contract was stripped, but we also failed to receive Continued on A9
‘People’s victory’ means pain ahead
Tom Fletcher B.C. Views
NDP leader Adrian Dix couldn’t contain his glee at the result of the harmonized sales tax referendum. He seemed positively giddy that the provincial budget will forgo $3 billion in revenue over the next few years, and clearly relishes the prospect of getting back to the legislature in October to resume his demands for more spending in every ministry of the B.C. government. He can start soon, standing in passionate solidarity with B.C.’s 40,000 public school teachers as they strike to press their demands for huge increases in salary and benefits that already exceed what most private sector workers will ever see. Bill Vander Zalm was thrilled too,
beaming that famous smile as he climbed in his long black Mercedes to resume his comfortable retirement. He never expected to be able to leave the province in a mess one more time, but fate has been kind to him. He probably still believes he has helped the poor, as he claimed in his nonsensical rants against the HST. This is the “people’s victory” that Dix crowed about. B.C. and the rest of the country are entering a perilous time where retired people outnumber the young and pension plans, private and public, grow increasingly fragile. And in classic baby-boomer style, our political response is self-centred and unrealistic. An efficient tax system that ends
the advantage given to services over goods, while raising revenue to lift up the poorest people, is now a dirty word. Any kind of meaningful tax reform will be politically radioactive for years to come. Resource industries, the movie business and other private sector job generators can now plan for a significant B.C. disadvantage in 2013. Ontario can celebrate. Meanwhile, demand for government services to take care of the great grey blob that is my generation can only soar. It’s not just old people outnumbering the young. I mentioned a while back that Canada has already passed another significant milestone. Statistics Canada reported in May on
the people fortunate enough to have employer-supported pension plans in addition to government pension. And it turns out that 2010 was the first year in the country’s history where more public sector workers enjoyed this benefit than private sector workers. Author Mark Steyn talks about this problem in relation to the troubles in Europe. He refers to the “Government Party,” which is the ever-growing public sector, and the “Dependency Party,” which is everyone on pensions and welfare. When those two “parties” constitute a majority, they can force the government to satisfy their demands without regard to ecoContinued on A9

FOLLOW US ON...
Teachers: Don’t apologize for asking for fair treatment Continued from A8 a wage increase that would even keep up to the cost of living. Both teachers and students have suffered the consequences ever since with thousands of oversized classes and classes in which there is not enough support for the many special needs students. So the government has saved money both by cutting the number of teachers, and by not increasing teacher wages. Furthermore, the percentage of our GDP spent on funding for public education has decreased significantly in the last decade. The result is that the needs of all students are not being met, in particu-
lar those with special needs. Only teachers have been subject to this illegal action for a decade which has not been rectified by the government or by our direct employers. As well, Mr. Fletcher failed to mention that B.C. teachers are the lowest paid teachers west of Quebec as shown by the independent mediator who settled the Saskatchewan teachers’ strike this year (they received an increase of 8.8 per cent over the next three years). In fact, the mediator stated that the wages of B.C. teachers were so much lower than the other wester n provinces
that they significantly brought down the average when he tried to arrive at a fair increase for Saskatchewan. And let’s not forget that we have the highest cost of living in Canada while being eighth in our wage levels in all provinces of Canada. It is important for the future of our education system to be on par with other provinces not only to attract new teachers to B.C., but also to retain the ones we have. Imagine going to university for five years, graduating with $20-30,000 in debt on average, and then starting your employment at around $47,000 per year on a 10 year grid. Graduates can
even work in the rain as a good example. Secondly, in spite of global economics,the Liberal gover nment largely created this funding crises with their regressive tax policies for both income tax and especially corporate taxes, which are now not only the lowest in North America, but also in all of the G8 countries. I don’t think that teachers are the ones who are “isolated from reality.” I hope that all teachers will realize they do not need to apologize for asking to be treated legally and fairly. Elaine Thompson Vice-President, Campbell Ri v er District Teachers’ Association
easily earn twice that initial amount in the private sector, and increase their wages much more quickly. We need to attract excellent graduates to teaching. Very few men go into teaching anymore, and large numbers of young teachers burn out and leave the profession in the first five years when they find a job with better pay and a lot less stress. As far as being able to afford these wage increases, please keep in mind two things. The B.C. government can always find lots of money for projects they want to fund. Take the retractable roof on B.C. Place which doesn’t
Fletcher: B.C. a step closer to Greece’s fate Continued from A8 nomic reality. This is what has happened in Greece. It is very close to happening in other European countries, and today B.C. is a step closer to it. When the verdict came in on the HST
referendum, Finance Minister Kevin Falcon talked about going around to consult the public on how to reinstate the provincial sales tax. He vowed that B.C. will somehow still balance its budget in two years, and seemed to leave the door open
to some minor modifications of the sales tax system. Premier Christy Clark quickly shut that door. It would be “disrespectful” to do anything other than bring back the post-war PST in all its rustic beauty, with the little bou-
this “people’s victory.” It will involve reducing public services, raising taxes or both. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com tfletcher@blackpress. ca – twitter.com/tomfletcherbc

DEATHS
DEATHS
Rikki Anne Easton It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we say farewell to Rikki who died tragically in a car accident. Rikki was born in Chatham, NB and moved to Comox with her parents in 1990. She was a pharmacy technician at Shopperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Drug Mart in Campbell River and loved her job. Rikki was a kind and loving person who lived life with great intensity and passion. She loved the outdoors, riding her motorcycle, camping and spending time on the beach. Rikki loved music, watching movies, reading and most of all she loved people. She had an amazing sense of humour and made people laugh wherever she went. Rikki is survived and will be greatly missed by her partner and companion Gordon Reimer, her parents Kaye and Rick Easton of Drumheller, AB, her paternal grandmother Vi Easton of Courtenay, BC, her brother David (Julie) of Texas, two nephews Cody and Brock who she loved like her own, two nieces Brynn and Taryn, Uncle Tony (Susan) Easton of Chemainus, Uncle Steven (Myrna) Easton of Courtenay, Aunt Helen (Kjell) Ryan of Norway, Uncle Vince Guyader of Chatham, NB, Aunt Mary (Peter) SchoďŹ eld of Ottawa, Aunt Lorrie (Tim Steel) Guyader of Comox, BC, several great nieces and nephews and several cousins including Dylan Aube (Petawawa, ON) and Devon Aube (Comox, BC) who she loved like brothers. A service for Rikki was held at Christ the King Church in Courtenay, BC on Monday, August 29, 2011 at 11:00 a.m. As Rikki spent her last 5 years helping people with recovery and addiction, the family requests that in lieu of ďŹ&#x201A;owers, donations be made to River Heights Church for Stepping Stones Recovery House for Women, 2201 Robert Lang Drive, Courtenay, BC.

About $10,000 worth of climbing gear was stolen from BC Hydro’s work site below Ladore Dam this past week. BC Hydro was completing survey work in this area by Lower Campbell Lake, and had set up the climbing gear along the walls of the rock canyon this past Thurs. The area is similar in configuration to Elk Falls Canyon. D u r i n g t h e fo u r hours it took for BC Hydro staff to set up the equipment they saw some people near the site, according to BC Hydro spokesperson, Stephen Watson. The crew left the site in the evening and returned Fri. morning to find about 2000 feet of ropes and related gear stolen. The equipment weighed about 400 pounds and the area it was taken from was difficult and dangerous to access. “While BC Hydro is disappointed at this theft of a specialist con-
Ten thousand dollars worth of climbing equipment was stolen from BC Hydro’s work site immediately underneath Ladore Dam, by Lower Campbell Lake sometime between Thurs. Aug. 25 and Fri. Aug. 26. The equipment was set up on the steep walls of the canyon seen above, making this theft dangerous.
tractor’s equipment, what’s most troubling is their lack of care for personal safety,” said Watson. “They not only put
themselves at risk by removing equipment off the canyon wall, they did so within a closed off area immediately below an oper-
ating hydroelectric dam.” Watson added that water could have been released through the spillway gates at any
time during the theft. Const. Keeley Deley of the Campbell River RCMP said the culprits would have had to know a little bit about how to use the gear in order to get it off the steep rock wall. “It would have to be, if not an experienced climber, then at least somebody who knows what they’re doing or somebody who is familiar with this type of equipment,” said Deley. According to Deley, numerous locked gates and fences weren’t disturbed for vehicle access so it is a possibility the equipment was removed by boat. Anyone with information on the theft, or who sees climbing equipment for sale in unusual circumstances is asked to contact the Campbell River RCMP or Crime Stoppers. BC Hydro has increased security at the site until further notice, according to Watson. The Campbell River RCMP continue to work with BC Hydro in the investigation.

M&M Meat Shops urges Canadians to turn off the TV and enjoy an unplugged family dinner M&M Meat Shops is encouraging Canadians to turn off the TV, log off from their computers and power down cell phones and participate in the Seventh Annual National Family Dinner Night on Thursday, Sept. 15. The event celebrates what matters most – spending quality time with family and friends. The importance of family dinners reaches far beyond simply sharing a meal together. Research shows that gathering around the table presents a valuable opportunity to interact, strengthen relationships and affirm the value of every individual in the family and their role in their community. Unplug and Tune In A recent national study conducted by Canadian Omnibus reveals that as we become increasingly immersed in the digital age, the intrusion of electronic communication devices during traditional times, such as family meals, is spiralling. Eighty per cent of Canadians admit to having at least one type of electronic communication device turned on and
in use during family meals. More than half of Canadians (51 per cent) revealed that the TV stays on at mealtimes. While research shows the propensity to have these devices turned on during family meals, more than 81 per cent of Canadians say that they would enjoy dinner more without these distractions; an indication that Canadians still hold this traditional event sacred and meaningful. “Sitting down for a meal together can have a lasting, positive effect on open communication between children and parents and re-establish a sense of family unity,” says Mac Voisin, Founder of M&M Meat Shops. “It’s time to unplug, at least during dinner, so that our electronic distractions don’t get in the way of this special time.” National Family Dinner Night attracts tremendous public and charitable support every year and has contributed significantly to the more than $21.5 million M&M Meat Shops has raised for the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of Canada (CCFC). This year, M&M Meat Shops urges everyone
in Canada to register their participation and demonstrate the importance of getting together with the people who matter most in their lives. Register Your Participation For everyone who registers their pledge to participate in National Family Dinner Night on the website: www. nationalfamilydinnernight.com, M&M Meat Shops will make a $1 donation to the CCFC, up to a maximum of $100,000. The Unplugged Dinner The first step to spending quality time with loved ones is to free yourself from all distractions, electronic or otherwise, so you can enjoy the undivided attention of those at the dinner table. Next time you get together for a family meal, ask everyone to sit down to eat without being connected to a single electronic device. “Research shows that when a parent unplugs, it makes a positive statement about how they truly care about connecting with their family,” says Voisin.

Britten composed numerous choral and operatic works and was the recipient of n u m e r o u s aw a r d s and honors before his death in 1976. He wrote the music for Ceremony of Carols while crossing the Atlantic aboard a cargo ship when he was returning to England from North
America in 1942. The music is based on a copy of The English Galaxy of Shorter Poems he obtained when the ship stopped at Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Port Alberni Mountie wells up while explaining his reasons for joining Tour de Rock Susan Quinn Black Press
Tom Gill is a mix of emotions as he pauses during a weekend training ride, his bright blue and yellow Spandex cycling outfit a contrast to the dull green of his rural surroundings. He can’t help grinning as he talks about how psyched he is to be riding in this year’s Canadian Cancer Society’s Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock. But the grin quickly fades and tears threaten as he talks about his motivation. It’s the kids. “I’m as soft as they come; kids win,” he says. “The first people I’m interested in all the time are the kids.” Special feature The Tour de Black Press Rock is a gruelling, newspapers on two-week bicycle Vancouver Island tour that happens will publish this every September special feature page and October on spotlighting police Vancouver Island. officers taking part in Law enforcement this year’s Canadian officers and media Cancer Society members embark on Cops for Cancer the journey to raise Tour de Rock. awareness and funds for research into pediatric cancers. This year there are 22 riders who will start out in Port Alice on Sept. 24 and wrap up their Island-wide trip Oct. 7 in Victoria. Gill is an RCMP constable in the traffic division at the Port Alberni detachment. He and the rest of the Tour de Rock team were presented to the public on May 14, but those who had applied have been training since last March in the hopes they would be chosen. A relatively new member to the force – he graduated from RCMP Depot in Regina, Sask. in September 2008 – Gill put his name in for the Tour the first year he was on the force, then trained for a while in his second year. He knew because Port Alberni’s detachment is so small that only one rider could be chosen per year, and last year was not to be his. He was willing to wait. Port Alberni was Gill’s first posting in the RCMP, and he loves living and working here. He started out in general duty and in May switched to the traffic division. He attended a function where Laurel

Port Alberni RCMP Const. Tom Gill prepares to ride in the 2011 Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock. He’s trying to raise $25,000. Middelaer spoke about the tragic death of her four-year-old daughter Alexa, killed by a drunk driver in Ladner. Middelaer’s words were powerful, he says. “It’s a focus of mine to take impaired drivers off the road. You can make a difference in a family’s future by making the road safe,” he says. He also wants to make a difference in the fight against cancer. “I believe our youth that are going through this, if we can cure them, they will be our leaders.”
Gill is paired with a junior rider, Brett Wasylyniuk, a young boy from the Alberni Valley who has rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare form of cancer found in the connective tissue between muscles and bones. He hasn’t spent too much time with Wasylyniuk, though: the boy has been away receiving treatment.
