Doctors at Campbell River hospital are being asked to support a new hospital without assurance that it will fulfil the needs of the community, says North Island MLA Claire Trevena. Hospital staff were recently sent a letter from the Vancouver Island Health Authority (VIHA) asking for its support of the business case which will be reviewed by the provincial government. The business case, a technical document asking the province for capital funding for two new hospitals – one in Campbell River and one in the Comox Valley, outlines the size of both new hospitals and services that will be available at each site. Trevena says doctors do not have enough information and Continued on A2

Hospital: VIHA says it is simply seeking support Continued from A1 are being pressured into making a decision by Howard Waldner, VIHA’s CEO. “Mr. Waldner at first told the doctors that they couldn’t see the business plan they we re s u p p o s e d t o approve, and then told them they could see one copy but not share it with anyone for their opinions,” Trevena said. “These strongarm tactics are enough to make people believe that VIHA is trying to get the doctors to sign off on a hospital plan irrespective of whether the hospital meets the needs of the local community. Then, if residents object, VIHA can

lay blame at the feet of the doctors. “This is political maneuvering when what Campbell River residents want is effective health care.” But Waldner says all VIHA is looking for is a letter of support that it can submit to the province with its business case. “We asked the physician community in the Comox Valley and Campbell River to simply provide us with a letter of support,” said Waldner, who provided the Campbell River doctors with a draft letter to give them an idea of what they would be signing and agreeing to. “I understand the

docs in Campbell River seem to be confused by that. We’re simply asking them to confirm VIHA’s plan to build two new North Island hospitals. We got a letter back from the physician group in the Comox Valley saying they support the initiative. So I’m a bit confused and perplexed.” Waldner said the doctors are not required to sign a letter of support but figures it would be in the doctors’ best interest. “Personally, if I was thinking of funding a capital project and the folks up there didn’t support it I might think twice about it,” Waldner said. “The folks in Comox thought it made sense, they want a new hospital.” Waldner said the letter that was sent to the Campbell River doctors was asking for staff support and nothing else. “We’re asking for

capital funding for two new hospitals and we want the doctors’ support, this has not got anything to do with what services will be provided (at the hospital). In fact there will be an expansion of beds at both hospitals,” Waldner said. According to VIHA’s concept paper, the new Campbell River hospital is expected to have 90-95 beds, an increase of 30-35 beds, and “all currently provided services will continue at the new hospital.” It is expected to be built at the site of the current hospital on 2nd Avenue. The cost of building the two new hospitals is estimated at $550 million. Trevena said she is concer ned VIHA is forcing Campbell River doctors to accept a hospital that won’t meet the community’s needs. “I can appreciate the time and effort it takes

to prepare for a new hospital,” Trevena said. “What I cannot accept is artificial, politically motivated timelines and political game-playing.” Waldner said he’s been up front with hospital staff and has shared everything there is to know. “We certainly met with the physicians and told the physicians the number of beds, the number of departments and assured them the current level of service will be maintained,” Waldner said. Meanwhile, Campbell River hospital staff met last Friday morning and were expected to meet again Tuesday evening, after the Mirror went to press, to discuss whether it will sign off on the business case.

Coroner: upgrade suicide awareness training and risk assessments for emergency patients

d y A passerby donates the change kept in her ash tray to the March for Children the Campbell River Rotary lheld in downtown Campbell River Saturday. Proceeds from the collection go towards children’s services at the Campbell River hospital and to Jeneece Place, a place for families to stay in Victoria while their children receive treatment down-Island.

Successful appeal

Bus: Road conditions likely cause Continued from A1 tires on another axel and snow tires on the drive axel. “When the ambulance stopped to get the people at the site, they got out of the ambulance, the ambulance started sliding down the hill,” he added. The roll-over accident happened Dec. 14 at 6:45 p.m. on Highway 28 near Elk River Main Line. Of the 14 riders, including the driver, 12 people were taken to hospital. On Tues-

day two passengers were still recovering in Campbell River Hospital: Pat Jeffery with rib and lung injuries; and Dennis Fawcett with rib and spinal injuries. Bill Garton, president CAW Union Local 3019, is also satisfied that road conditions were the sole factor in the accident. “The bus was good, the driving was good, the tires were good, but the roads hadn’t been attended to and had about four to six

inches of really wet slush on them at the time,” he said. Ironically, NVI Mining safety employee Rick Kretzschmar had conducted a safety meeting earlier in the day. Garton says: “Actually it was about the safety equipment that we have carried on the buses. We have a certain amount of safety equipment that we demand the buses carry in case there’s any kind of accident.” Wilson’s Office Man-

ager Wendy Hawes has also come to the defence of the unidentified driver. “He has been driving bus on that road for three years and for many years before that as a trucker,” she said. “He did everything he could within his range of expertise.” Transport Canada Communications Officer Wes Freeman told the Mirror, “We will have a role (in the investigations), but it is too early to say what that will be.”

A Victoria coroner’s jury examining the tragic 2010 death of Campbell River teenager Hayden Kozeletski has called for suicide awareness training for high school counsellors and risk assessments for emergency patients showing suicidal symptoms. The jury made a total of 23 recommendations to several agencies after hearing five days of evidence arising from the teenager’s suicide a year ago. Sixteen-year-old Hayden hanged herself on a beach in Cadboro Bay after walking away from the Ledger House Youth Psychiatric Centre. Coroner’s counsel John Orr says the inquest became “a fairly extensive review of the whole system.” Kozeletski disappeared from Ledger House on Dec. 19, 2010, after returning from a weekend visit to her Campbell River home. Her father, Phil, found her dead about two hours later near the beach on the grounds of the Queen Alexandra Centre for Children’s Health where Ledger House is located. The jury learned that the final months of Kozeletski’s life were filled with depression, anxiety and panic attacks, and that the troubled teen made repeated visits to the emergency ward. Hayden’s mom, Barb Kozeletski, told the inquest she felt overwhelmed and angry when she tried to get medical help for her daughter. She said Hayden changed from an amazing child into an anxious, panicked teenager. The inquest heard that Hayden became increasingly depressed in the fall of last year and made repeated visits to the emergency ward at Campbell River Hospital. In late October, Hayden was admitted to Ledger House and was to be discharged Dec. 17, but the plan was postponed because of the despair she was feeling. Kozeletski testified that she was told abruptly by Ledger House staff at a meeting on Dec. 16 that Hayden did not want to go home.

She testified that she felt patronized and left the meeting in tears. Kozeletski found her daughter, crying in the bathtub. She recalled Hayden saying: “I’d be better off dead. I just wreck everything.” “And I said to her, ‘Every day that you breathe is a good day. If this is what you need, this is what we need to do.’” Kozeletski took her daughter home that night. Still in distress Hayden went to the hospital where she was given medication, Ativan, and plans were made to send her back to Ledger House. Kozeletski said the atmosphere at Ledger House was cold when she and Phil took Hayden back. As they left, Hayden slid down the wall and looked up at her parents in defeat. “We kissed her goodbye and told her we’d see her in a couple of days,” Kozeletski testified. Hayden disappeared just after 5 p.m. and staff searched the building and the grounds for her. The coroner’s jury listened to the non-emergency call placed by Megan Hadley, the nurse in charge of the youth psychiatric facility at Queen Alexandra Centre for Children’s Health, to Saanich police at 5:36 p.m. that night. The call was classified as routine and placed in a holding queue to be dispatched when an officer became available. The call was still holding more than 90 minutes later when Hayden’s dad found his daughter dead on the beach. He and Barb had been driving through Ladysmith when they received a call from Hadley that Hayden had disappeared. They arrived at Ledger House before police did. Saanich police admitted this was “clearly a case of miscommunication.” The police would have responded immediately to Ledger House on Dec. 19 if they’d been told a suiContinued on A6

The city began work on the community plan in May 2010. Since then, the city has held several open houses and community input sessions. “Considerable effort has been spent on public consultation over the last 18 months,” Buck said. “A draft plan was completed for public and stakeholder review in Sept. 2011. Feedback on this draft has been received and staff are currently working on revisions.”

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Habitat for Humanity wants the city to reimburse the organization for some of the costs of a build more than two years ago. Deb Roth, the executive director for Habitat for Humanity Vancouver Island North, said typically after homes are built in a community, the municipality helps pay some of the bill. Roth told council Tuesday night she hopes the city can help offset some of the costs Habitat for Humanity incurred when it built a duplex on Maple Road in the spring of 2009. “Including the DCC’s (Development Cost Charges), we paid $17,718.32 to the City of Campbell River,” Roth said in a letter to council. “I realize there isn’t much you can do to spare us the DCC’s,

usually ask for that in the beginning or was this a surprise.”

– Coun. Mary Storry

but we are hoping that you would consider a donation to offset fees paid in the construction of the Maple Road duplex. This would be in line with what has been done on previous builds in other communities.” Coun. Mary Storry questioned why Habitat for Humanity asked for help so long after the build. “Certainly the community is glad to support you,” Storry said. “The (money) you’re looking for, do you usu-

ally ask for that in the beginning or was this a surprise? How did it come about that you’re asking for money back?” Roth said it was just a matter of routine. “Our previous experience with builds in the Comox Valley was that we partnered with the city and as we paid the bills they came back to us and said they could probably help with giving some of it back,” Roth said. Mayor Walter Jakeway said Habitat for

Humanity is near and dear to his heart and committed to finding a way to help the nonprofit out. “I’m personally going to try to make it happen, I have a soft spot for Habitat for Humanity,” Jakeway said. “I’ll commit that over the next month I’m going to try to find a way. The work that Habitat does is huge.” Two local families have benefited from the one and only build in Campbell River. Each family owns a side of the duplex and pays property taxes. Roughly 400 people volunteered their time and materials for the build. Habitat is eager to build more homes in the community. “Habitat for Humanity Vancouver Island North would like to extend an invitation for the City of Campbell River to partner with

us once again to build safe, decent, affordable homes,” said Jenna Nichol, chair of the Campbell River site selection committee, in September. “It is our hope that the City of Campbell River would consider providing an appropriate piece of property for us to continue to build affordable housing in this community.” Habitat for Humanity is dedicated to the elimination of poverty by building homes in partnership with families in need. The purpose of the society is to provide simple, decent, affordable housing to those who would not qualify for or be able to afford a conventional mortgage. Habitat for Humanity selects families for homes based on the adequacy of a family’s current home and a family’s income.

Our View

Thanks to our generous readers Thank-you readers for coming through once again for our Pennies for Presents campaign. We have raised $6,262 so far – more pennies often continue to come in We say: Another after the deadline – and that money successful Pennies has been converted to presents to help fill out the Knights of for Presents Columbus Christmas Hampers. When the Mirror’s parent company, campaign Black Press, launched Pennies for Presents in its Island papers, the Mirror decided from the start that we didn’t want to duplicate the

effort already being made in the community by the Knights of Columbus. The solution was simple, however, we decided to contribute the pennies towards buying presents for the Knights’ hampers. We are often asked to target presents for certain age group because donations to the hampers are often less in those ages. We’re proud to support the hamper fund each year and we’re proud of our readers who never cease to find jars of coins in their houses, drawers and closets and drop them off to the Mirror office. Many business also support us by collecting coins

or helping us out with the purchase of the presents. The Mirror staff thank you all for your support and would like you to know that your contributions go directly toward making Christmas special for needy families in Campbell River. Cheers also to the Knights of Columbus for the good work they do each year bringing Christmas joy to families in need in the Campbell River area. The hours of volunteer work collecting, boxing and delivering the Christmas hampers is greatly appreciated and worthy of community support each Christmas season.

Good point: Toilet art We are all aware that the local press needs to be provocative at times. Such was the story about $16,000 to paint our much needed public outdoor toilets. I’m not accusing our press of dishonesty but of intent to provoke readership and a local response, both good things. I, too, am caught in their subterfuge and therefore offer my suggestion to follow our tradition and long held civic aim of promoting art in our public spaces. It’s simple really. Let’s invite the Arts Council to find interested individuals among their membership. It could be promoted as a contest in much the same way that banners are selected to hang on light posts. Remember these buildings are public art space. Should it be that the contest holds no appeal for the elder members of the arts community, I’m certain that our teenage artists can produce something interesting and artistic. I would be very surprised if one or more secondary art teachers and their students would not eagerly accept the challenge. I see this as an annual contest with some obvious themes already suggested in historic and other local signage. I like the sepia and silhouette tones found in the early photos of Campbell River. Others may find inspiration from the Communities in Bloom, Words on the Water, Shoreline Arts or some other local event . Three other reasons for this solution: 1) There will be no need for some fence-like camouflage. A camouflage will create the same situation Continued on A9

Premier Christy Clark on her political year

Tom Fletcher B.C. Views

I recently sat down with Premier Christy Clark for a year-end interview to talk about her eventful first year back in politics. Here are excerpts from that discussion: TF: People in general are a bit cynical about the treaty process. You could say that about Sophie Pierre [former Ktunaxa chief and chair of the independent B.C. Treaty Commission]. In her report this year she talked about the mounting debt from 20 years of negotiations and basically gave an ultimatum to fix it or shut it down. Do you see the commission continuing as it is, or do you see some changes ahead? PCC: We’re not planning any significant changes to it. We are start-

ing to see, just now, the fruits of all the work from the ministry and from the government and from the treaty commission. And that’s all starting to move pretty quickly. The Taku River Tlinglit economic agreement [mining development and protected areas in the Atlin area], there are a number of these agreements that are starting to flow out, and it’s been a long, slow, frustrating process. So now is the wrong time to walk away from the process, because there’s been 20 years of work invested in this, and we’re finally starting to see the fruits of it. TF: A related subject is the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway oil pipeline. There’s a lot of aborigi-

nal opposition to that. The federal Natural Resources Minister, Joe Oliver, not too long ago called this a “nation building project.” It certainly fits with your jobs strategy. Do you support the concept of the pipeline? PCC: First of all, we are foursquare behind the concept and soon to be reality of the liquefied natural gas pipelines, which would take B.C. gas and get it to the port at Kitimat. There is pretty much unanimous First Nations support along the way, community support, through the environmental approval process, it’s all working. The Enbridge proposal is far from that. Being able to get triple the price for Canadian oil would be a big bene-

fit for Canada overall. But the project is one where we have to examine both the costs and benefits. That’s why it’s in the environmental approval process. This is the first of its kind, so I think we have to get a good look at it, and once we have the facts before us, we can have a debate about whether it should go ahead. TF: The carbon tax. Do you think it’s working, and will we see changes in the years to come? PCC: I think that it’s probably affecting people’s and businesses’ decisions about their reliance on carbon as a source of energy. I don’t want to overstate that, though. The thing about the carbon tax is that it’s Continued on A9

Who was the numbskull who decided not to print ferry schedules? How assine is that? What about people who don’t have com-

puters or seniors who are not computer literate? Then they say you phone, however, you can be sitting on the phone for hours wait-

ing for someone to actually talk to. Are they trying to save money to pay for David Hahn’s buyout and pension? I saw some visitors trying to figure out

what ferries there were, where they go, what the times are, what routes are available in a Visitor’s Centre and they were appalled at the number of printed

that existed inside the Museum building and that created a need for outdoor toilets in the first place. 2) Both council and

community receive huge benefits from citizen participation. Again, look at Words on Water, Shoreline Arts etc. 3) Council already

provides Big Dollar support to the Arts Council. We don’t need a bureaucrat at City Hall deciding the color scheme. Paying someone $16,000 to do the job

is to waste a valuable opportunity to encourage further public participation and interest. Potentially we could have the most interesting biffies in Canada.

HANDYSIDE Robert John

It is with profound shock to announce the passing of a beloved father, grandfather and friend, Robert John Handyside. Whether you knew him as Camo Bob, Papa Bob, Two Dogs or Norm, Bob’s larger than life personality was sure to leave an imprint on your heart. Bob was born in Victoria, BC to Marjorie and Herbert Handyside on Feb 22, 1950, and his honest and hardworking nature allowed him to pursue a reputable career as a carpenter for nearly 40 years. As Bob’s enterprise expanded so did his dreams and soon his building ventures stretched from land to sea. His lifelong project of transforming a three bedroom family cabin into a prestigious 50 bed salmon fishing resort still remains today. Bob’s final project, still incomplete, was a retirement getaway in hunting heaven Alberta where he hoped to spend time enjoying his family and sharing his passion for life. Apart from his work Bob always took time to enjoy the outdoors where he spent countless hours hunting the fields and fishing the west coast. It is here where Bob discovered his true flavor for field trials and learned to raise the loves of his life his retrievers, Morgan and Steamer. Apart from his animals Bob had a soft spot for his family and cherished spending countless hours surrounded by his beautiful grandbabies. Bob truly had a care free and enthusiastic lust for life and never allowed any obstacle to get in the way. His perseverance never seemed to fail even when everything that could go wrong, went horribly and drastically sideways. There was an unexplainable charm to his sense of humor and his one of a kind personality will forever be missed and remembered. Bob was 8 days shy of celebrating 20 years of sobriety, Congratulations Bob! Bob is predeceased by his parents, and his siblings, Ronald and Shirley Handyside. He leaves behind his adored children, Nichole (Brian) and granddaughter Kaeli, his son Cory (Cindy) and grand children, Taysia and Nathan, his surrogate daughter Amanda (Jon), and granddaughters Savannah and Mikhaila. A celebration of Bob’s life will be held Saturday Jan 28, 2012, 2 pm to 4pm at Courtenay Fish and Game Clubhouse, 3780 Colake Road, Courtenay. In lieu of flowers of donations please forward to Nootka Water Shed Society or Ducks Unlimited where Bob was a very proud supporter.

City buildings getting new roofs KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Council will spend more than it budgeted to replace the roof at three city facilities. The city is expected to replace the main roof at the downtown Fire Hall, the lower roof of the Dogwood Operations Centre and the roof of the Dogwood Operations

Centre equipment shed. Council awarded the project to Nelson Roofing and Sheet Metal Ltd., based out of the Comox Valley, at a value of $330,628. That amount is more than council budgeted for this past spring. “The cost...for the roof replacement project is in excess of the approved budget value of $300,000,

Bantam Tyees blitz Alberni Bulldogs The Number 1 Auto Body Bantam ‘A’ Tyees fired a season high 71 shots on goal and pounded the Port Alberni Bulldogs 9-1 Sunday afternoon at Weyerhaeuser Arena in Port Alberni. The game was scoreless after the first period but Campbell River blew it open with six unanswered goals in the second. First year centre Josh Coblenz led the way, scoring once and adding four assists. Cole Rennie and Gavin Rauser each tallied twice, while singles went to Sage Lim, Grady McInnes, Devyn Grant, and Nick KleinBeekman. Goaltender Ryan Smith had a solid game in net for the Tyees, losing his shutout bid midway through the third. “I really liked the way our leaders played today,” said Head Coach Peter Martin. “When Gavin (Rauser), Grady (McInnes), and Joe (Gage) are out there playing unselfishly, taking short shifts, finishing their checks, and shooting the puck, the rest follow suit.” Martin was forced to do some line juggling due to a recent spate of injuries. Centre Austin Simper found

some chemistry between Rauser and McInnes, while Coblenz, Rennie, and Lim gave the Bulldog’s defence fits the entire game, combining for eleven points. “We moved Devyn (Grant) up from defence to play with Kurtis Scriba and Tyson Goebel,” said Martin. “They did a great job of forechecking and gave us a physical presence that we don’t always have.” Martin gave the unsung hero award to defenceman Andy Stevens. It was a bounce-back victory for the Tyees who were beaten 4-1 at home Saturday by the Victoria Racquet Club Kings. Coblenz registered the lone marker for Campbell River. “Racquet Club is clearly the top team on the Island right now,” Martin said. “Plus they were missing a few players so they got to play their top line every other shift. But, they earned it, they played a strong game.” First place Racquet Club remains on top of the Vancouver Island Tier 1 standings while Campbell River remains in the middle of the pack with a 4-4 record.

Atoms destroy the Generals It would appear the Brown’s Bay Packing Atom A Tyees have definitely found their groove. The Tyees annihilated the Oceanside Generals on Saturday with a 20-1 defeat. The Tyees came out flying in the first period of play and managed to score seven goals, leaving Oceanside with the daunting task of trying to catch up. Although Oceanside was able to sneak one goal in during the second period, the Tyees did not slow down and scored 13 more goals,

It looked like the Tyees were going to need a rocketlauncher to score and fortunately they found one at the right time. Todd Campbell and Will McLean combined to get the puck back to Liam

Rivett on the point. McLean took a hit to the back while screening the goalie as Rivett loaded up his cannon and blasted a slapshot on net for the first goal of the game.

The third period saw more end-to-end action as teams kept trying to find a weakness in each other’s armour. The Tyees worked on cycling the puck and it paid off when Seth Parker made a

perfect pass out of the corner to Fair who one-timed it for his second goal of the game. Oceanside responded about three minutes later with a bullet fired just in the top corner of the goal to narrow the score to 3-2. The Tyees cycle again paid off handsomely when Tyler Dickson went into the corner for the puck, gave it to Fair who passed out to Campbell as he
