Waste-to-energy fears persist among residents ALISTAIR TAYLOR CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Confusion and suspicion continue to surround the city’s pursuit of Waste-to-Energy (WTE) incineration at the former Catalyst Elk Falls mill site. One opponent of the WTE proposal, Corinne Matheson, accused the City of Campbell River re presentatives of

being secretive about the whole concept. “We’ re trying to get information and they’re just hiding,” Matheson said. “They don’t want us to know what’s going on.” But Coun. and mayoral candidate Ziggy Stewart said nobody is being secretive. There were three phases identified in this process and the next phase

is the public consultation process. “There are no secrets,” Stewart said. “There are no back door deals.” In a draft report to the regional District’s Solid Waste Management Board prepared by AECOM Canada Ltd. of Burnaby, and presented to the board Nov. 3, the company identified four options

for further consideration as a result of “growing interest in WTE as a potential resident waste management option.” WTE was reviewed in less detail in an earlier report last spring but it was given more emphasis in the report presented to the board’s Nov. 3 meeting. Then on Thursday, the Comox-Strathcona

ley. ■ One regional landfill in Campbell River. ■ Two regional landfills, one in the Valley and the other in Campbell River. ■ Waste to energy. Curiously, the press release says that in the draft solid waste management plan, using the Catalyst paper mill’s Elk Falls location as a “mass burn” incinera-

Waste Management issued a press release saying the plan is moving onto the public consultation phase which will begin in the “first quarter of 2012.” A component of the draft plan includes recommendations for disposal of residual waste and summarizes the following options: ■ One regional landfill in the Comox Val-

tor or a landfill is not (their emphasis) part of the recommended waste disposal options being considered by the regional waste board. However, it has been identified in the regional district’s sustainability strategy as possible alternatives to landfilling waste in the future. For more on this story, see Wednesday’s Mirror.

Mega Soaker slated for Willow Point Park KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The Rotary Club hopes to have a waterpark in Willow Point Park by next summer after city council approved designs this week. The company hired to design the waterpark presented council with conceptual designs for a spray park at Tuesday’s council meeting. Marylou Wilmot, of Rectec Industries, said the plan is to divide the waterpark into three sections – one for families, one for teens and one aimed at toddlers which would have a gentler spray. The family section is slated to have a major attraction – a Mega Soaker which Wilmot said would be the first

of its kind in B.C. “You’re going to want the Mega Soaker on all the time, that’s going to be the most popular piece,” Wilmot said. “If I was with the City of Campbell River tourism, I would have a billboard for people coming north that said ‘Visit the waterpark with the only Mega Soaker in British Columbia.’” The Mega Soaker is a 17-foot tall apparatus that holds a bowl full of water. Once the bowl is completely full, it tips over, creating a large splash. Both the Noon Hour and Daybreak Rotary Clubs, along with the Campbell River Fire Fighters Association, have been working on designs with Rectec that could include

additional structures such as a fire hose and fire hydrant. Both Rotary Clubs and the fire fighters have been working on a waterpark for Campbell River for three years. Patricia Ga gnon, Rotary Club president, said in a letter to council that the groups plan to provide council with a detailed drawing and schedules for approval to city staff in early January. “The prime contractor will work to acquire V I H A ( Va n c o u ve r Island Health Authority) and city approvals for construction to begin in early March 2012,” Gagnon said. “We then expect that the splash park will be completed in May 2012 prior to the summer

season.” Wilmot said the spray park will appeal to all generations and bring many benefits to the community, including free recreation. “With many references to Campbell River’s environment, natural history and culture, it also functions as a form of public art as well as an attraction to tourists and families traveling in the region,” said Wilmot. “Benefits also include promoting “physical activity for children and youth (and) encoura ging families to utilize the spray park rather than filling kiddy pools and running sprinklers.” Wilmot said the spray park will use a potable or water to waste sys-

The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Local 401 and the City of Campbell River ratified a collective agreement Tuesday night. The new contract includes a five per cent wage increase for CUPE employees over four years. CUPE city workers had been without a contract since 2009 but on Monday night the union voted to ratify a tentative agreement struck by both parties on Oct. 25. The following day, city council did the same. “We are pleased to announce that CUPE and the city have reached a four-year contract agreement,” Mayor Charlie Cornfield announced at Tuesday’s council meeting. “It’s been a lengthy process.” Both sides had been at the negotiating table with mediator Debbie Cameron since September and in late August CUPE voted 88.3 per cent in favour of strike action, although strike notice was never filed.

Local pathologist upset VIHA ordered biopsy specimens sent to Victoria KRISTEN DOUGLAS

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Working in the lab at Campbell River hospital was like being on a “puppy farm” says a doctor at the hospital. Dr. Aref Tabarsi, a pathologist at Campbell River hospital, says the failure of the Vancouver Island Health Authority (VIHA) to provide adequate technical support pushed the hospital’s histology service to a critical level over a recent six week period. In September, Tabarsi says he lost his secretarial assistant and VIHA replaced the employee with a parttime worker who was not trained to do the job. “I felt the lab was like a puppy farm for six weeks and I was being ignored (by VIHA),” Tabarsi says. He said things became disorganized and it was not a healthy work environment until VIHA finally brought in a full-time assistant who knew the job. “As soon as they realized I wasn’t going to put up with it anymore and as soon as they realized I was going to go to public notice, they brought in a person who could do the job,” Tabarsi says. Tabarsi says the larger problem is the fact histology services have been centralized to Victoria, at Royal Jubilee Hospital, and as a consequence there is less staff now at Campbell River hospital. Histology deals with lumps and tumours. Currently, physicians at Campbell River hospital will perform surgery on a patient to remove tissue from a lump. That tissue then goes to Tabarsi to be analyzed and cut up into strips. Those pieces of tissue then go into their own separate little blocks, or containers. After the blocks are made, they are then sent down to the lab in Victoria where they are turned into slides. The slides are then sent back to Campbell River for Tabarsi to study and make a diagnosis. That process has been in existence for the past five years. “I’m at the mercy of Victoria as to when I’m going to get my slides

back,” Tabarsi says. “It used to be after the specimen arrived in the lab that 48 hours later I’d have my diagnosis. Now it can be up to two to three weeks for results.” But Pam Ganske, VIHA’s manager of laboratory services, says samples from Campbell River arrive in Victoria at 10 p.m. and are sent back to Campbell River around 3:30 p.m. the following day. Larger samples take 12 hours from the Victoria lab to process. Ganske says VIHA will be conducting a working group with physicians at Campbell River hospital to determine why it’s taking so long for results to come back. “We’ll be doing a systems review to see where the bottleneck is, what the obstacles are, are the technical

staff properly trained and do they have the tools the need to do the job,” Ganske says. Tabarsi says centralization is not working. “I could see it if there was no pathologist here, then yes send it there and make the diagnosis there,” Tabarsi says. “But the fact we send the tissue there and then they send it back here is just bizarre.” Tabarsi says five years ago he had three technicians working in the lab. After two of them retired, VIHA made the move to centralize histology to Victoria and did not replace the two employees, leaving Tabarsi with just one lab tech. He said if that person calls in sick or goes on vacation, the lab becomes unsustainable. “Then I have to send

even the tissue to Victoria which increases the times further because they’re not expecting the specimen, they don’t know the technician is going to call in sick,” Tabarsi says. Tabarsi says that then causes an “erratic workload.” If the tissue has to be sent to Victoria on a given day, then Tabarsi is left with not a lot of work back in Campbell River, but the day the slides arrive back in Campbell River, Tabarsi says then he’s overloaded with work, creating a backlog. Tabarsi says his record is 73 trays in one day that he had to analyze and diagnose. “It’s not a constant flow and that’s unacce ptable,” Tabarsi says. “I have no control over my workload. I’m dying here, I can’t practice like this.”

WHAT ARE THEY SAYING? “I’ve had the pleasure of working with Roy Grant as a fellow Councillor. In my opinion, he is the candidate with the greatest experience and best qualifications to serve as our Mayor for the next three years.” – Mary Ashley

ROY GRANT

“I have lived in Campbell River for the past 46 years and have been involved in many community volunteer organizations, including serving for 24 years as a Councillor. I strongly feel our new Mayor has to have also been involved in the community, must have previous council experience and possess diplomatic and leadership skills. I believe that Roy Grant is the clear choice to fulfill these qualities” – Bill Matthews “We were building in Duncan, until Roy Grant convinced my business partners to consider developing in Campbell River. We have built a 32 unit condominium complex in Willow Point , creating dozens of jobs and increasing the city’s tax base. We expect to begin construction of a phased 54 unit ocean view condominium project this spring. Again, it was Roy’s confidence in your city that attracted us to Campbell River.” – Ross Adam “I believe that Campbell River is at a very important crossroad in its history and now more than ever we need a positive, experienced, dedicated mayor to lead us into the future. I believe that person is Roy Grant.” – Les Lengyel “Roy Grant will be the kind of Mayor that the people of Campbell River can be proud of. I worked with Roy for 6 years on City Council and know first hand how his work ethic and enthusiasm make him a leader in our community.” – Laird Ruehlen “I support Roy Grant for Mayor. Let me tell you why. As one of the founding Directors of Habitat for Humanity, Vancouver Island North, I was tasked with establishing a presence in Campbell River. After several tries to get established I met Roy Grant and Morgan Ostler. Together Roy and Morgan listened to our vision and plans. They then put into action a plan for Habitat for Humanity to open a Restore and build simple, affordable housing in Campbell River. The vision has taken hold and the plan is to build several more homes in the coming years. Thank you Roy and Morgan ” – Tim Roth

Planning for Life Changes What to Consider Before Buying a Home. Since a home is one of our biggest investments it is important to make sure we are prepared. Knowing what we can comfortably afford and determining how much of that we really want to spend Diane Rogers is an important decision. By following a few simple steps, the right property for you will give you satisfaction and security. Create a budget to reflect the costs of carrying your new home. 1. Begin by getting a pre-approved mortgage. This will give you the maximum mortgage payment you may have. Having this pre-approved financing also gives you a strong negotiating position. 2. Next, decide how much of a mortgage you actually want to pay – it does not have to be up to the maximum you are pre-approved for. You want to be comfortable with your payments. 3. Your everyday way of life may be impacted by the size of your mortgage. Consider your usual expenses for entertainment, hobbies etc. and as you will be living with this decision for quite some time making allowances here are very important. 4. Once you have decided on the mortgage payment size you must next consider all your estimated monthly costs. Add to the monthly mortgage payment - your property taxes, insurance, heating costs and other utilities. Also, don’t forget an amount for annual maintenance and upkeep of both interior and exterior, garage, driveway, landscaping, etc. to be added to this figure. 5. Be sure to make allowance for a “contingency fund”. As we all know, unexpected costs occur and we need the flexibility to assure our comfort levels are maintained. Once your pre-budget is made it gives us a very good idea of what you can afford in a home and you can begin your search for the right property to meet your needs and desires.

Televised election coverage shorter this year KRISTEN DOUGLAS

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Shaw’s local election night coverage will be much shorter this year than Campbell Riverites may have come to expect.

But it appears Campbell River is lucky to be getting any coverage at all. Coun. Andy Adams said at Tuesday’s council meeting that the extent of Shaw Cable’s election coverage was

going to be short, prefilmed segments from each candidate. “Initially there was going to be no live election night coverage and (Shaw) said it would prefer to do the 90-second clips,” Adams said

at Tuesday’s council meeting. Because Shaw didn’t plan to cover election night, Adams said he contacted it’s communications department which in turn got in touch with the local

Shaw studio on Robron Road. Adams said as a result of those discussions, Shaw announced it would do live coverage of the election, for one hour, from 9-10 p.m. on Sat., Nov. 19

Trash dumped here a bit longer KRISTEN DOUGLAS

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A new transfer station for the Campbell River dump may not be operational until spring. The Comox Strathcona Solid Waste Management Board considered implementing the transfer station in the fall but now it’s choosing to hold off. “It appears that the transfer of waste will likely not be necessary until after April or May of 2012 and it may be a gradual process,” said Leigh Carter, general manager of public affairs for the Comox Valley Regional District, which is responsi-

station will be functioning so residents can still drop off their garbage at the landfill. Leigh said the process could go on for less than a year, but either way, the transfer station will have a lifespan of more than 10 years, until a construction project to extend the life of the dump is complete. “The transfer station facility itself will be used for residential waste drop off after landfill improvement construction is completed, and the transferring of waste to the Comox Valley stops,” Carter said. The construction project is expected to

ble for both the Comox Valley and Campbell River landfills. The plan is to transfer Campbell River’s waste to the Pigeon Lake Landfill in Cumberland for a period of one year. C a r t e r s a i d i t ’s expected that two to four walking floor trailers of waste will be transferred to Cumberland each day. The Campbell River Waste Management Centre, more commonly known as the Campbell River landfill, is nearing capacity and is estimated to be completely full roughly six months from now. After that, it’s expected the transfer

include a mechanical stabilization of the steep earthern wall along Argonaut Road which may create the capacity needed to add five to seven years of life to the landfill. Ian Buck, a planner for the city, said in a report to city council

that construction of the transfer station, which will begin first, will involve implementing an asphalt laydown area, removal and reconstruction of the existing retaining structure and the construction of a temporary transfer building.

Few council candidates promise more arts funding ALISTAIR TAYLOR

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Everybody loves the arts but few of the mayoral candidates at Monday’s arts forum could offer any hope for a windfall in arts, culture and heritage funding over the next few years. The one excpetion was mayoral candidate Michel Rabu who wants to build a new arts centre with the money that will come free after the Community Centre is paid off in 2013. Rabu offered his new arts centre to

a packed Rivercity Players studio on Monday. “I want to see a new theatre-arts centre for Campbell River,” Rabu said. “The Tidemark (Theatre) has seen its day.” Rabu has a plan to pay for this new performing arts centre. In December, 2012, the city will no longer have to pay for the Community Centre which will free up about $560,000 per year that could be put towards a replacement for the aging Tidemark Theatre. This would preclude the need to

continue throwing money at propping up the Tidemark. Rabu did say, however, that fiscal restraint has to be shown, particularly in the first term and that the arts should continue to be funded through the grant-in-aid process currently used. Fellow mayoral candidate Ziggy Stewart questioned whether there would indeed be that much money freed up after the Community Centre was paid off and, if so, wondered whether a future council might decide there’s a greater

need for that money somewhere else. Rabu’s proposal was the only statement in favour of finding more money for arts, culture and heritage funding. Most of the responses from mayoral and councillor candidates focused on challenging times and difficult budget choices to be made. “I will be very blunt with you,” Stewart said. “Over the next coming years, it is going to be really difficult to continue or to Continued on A9

Arts: City will contribute $500,000 Continued from A10

expand where we go with the funding currently available.” Stewart suggested we will need to be more innovative and look to partnerships as a way to finding more funding for arts and culture. Roy Grant, like Stewart a sitting councillor seeking the mayor’s chair, said that the city has contributed over $1.5 million to arts, culture and heritage over the last three years and will contribute about another $500,000 this year. Grant said he will maintain support

for arts, culture and heritage. “I will continue to support arts, culture and heritage,” he said. Grant said that arts, culture and heritage imbue a sense of community pride and spirit and that attracts economic development. “I call that cultural economic development,” he said. Candidate Walter Jakeway expects that arts, culture and heritage groups would continue to get the same level of funding they currently receive.

Jakeway would implement proper fiscal management at City Hall and once restored “our financial prosperity and stability will return.” Jakeway predicted that would occur after 2012 and from 2013 on, the city would be able to give arts, culture

and heritage groups a three-year commitment. Monday’s meeting was attended by approximately 100 people – many of them involved in arts, culture and heritage in the community – at the Rivercity Players studio. The four mayoral

and 16 of the 17 council candidates were given questions to answer as well as an opportunity to provide an opening address. Council candidate Jason Price was unable to attend because his wife had gone into labour just prior to the all candidates forum.

EDITOR: Alistair Taylor editor@campbellrivermirror.com

Our View

Heroic sacrifice must never be forgotten Each year, the faces of the veterans that gather round cenotaphs for Remembrance Day seem a little older and fewer in number as the world wars of the 20th century recede into We say: War and the past. For many young people, the stosacrifice does ries of those wars must seem like not pass away ancient history; like vinyl records, just too old to mean much for modunfortunately ern life. The numbers of old veterans dwindle, and with each one, a story is lost, a connection to the past is undone. Unfortunately, war and strife does not pass away. Unlike H.G. Wells’ famous catchphrase describing the

First World War, there is no such thing as a “war to end all wars.” By some estimates, war has claimed the lives of 50 million people since peace was declared in 1945, at the end of the Second World War. War still fills our headlines on a daily basis and the list of Canada’s war dead grows year by year, victims of both peacekeeping actions and wars. And while the faces of the old veterans may become memories, they are once again being replaced, now by those who have served the cause of freedom in Afghanistan. And the names of their comrades are being added to scrolls of the dead; the war in Afghanistan has claimed the lives of 160 Canadian soldiers since we became involved in 2002.

Remembrance Day gives us the opportunity to pay tribute to all those men and women, past and present, living and dead, who have given of themselves to not only protect the rights and freedoms we enjoy, but also to shield many of the world’s peoples from those who would take their freedom. Today, as we join with those in similar gatherings across the country, let us remember that though memories of past wars may dim, the battle for peace and freedom is still being fought. “Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw the torch; be yours to hold it high.” - In Flanders Fields, John McRae – Black Press

Good point: Waste Too often we hear our political leaders are prone to putting the cart before the horse but the resurfacing of the idea to build a solid waste incinerator on the Elk Falls mill site takes the cake. How so you ask? Well after so many years of public outcry, meetings, planning and concepts, VIHA have yet to deliver on the proposed, expanded hospital facilities in the Campbell River/Comox Valley region. Yet here we have a plan hatching to poison our airshed on a massive scale. Waste incinerators are well-known as sources of air-borne heavy metals, a kaleidoscope of carcinogens and dangerous particulate pollution. Cancer recently passed all other causes to become the leading cause of death in Canada. So where exactly do proponents of this ill-considered toxic nightmare think the victims of their latest job creation project will be cared for? I suggest those regional residents that oppose our air being turned into a dump for consumer excess and a monument to a lack of creative thinking gather at our City Halls and Regional District offices with a bucket of their finest waste. Then our so-called ‘leaders’ supporting a toxic waste incinerator might get a idea of what it’s like to have someone else’s crap rammed down their throats. For more information on the hazards see: www.zerowasteamerica.org/Incinerators.htm For positive and creative solutions on waste management see www.zerowaste.ca Philip Stone

Names and places may change, the scarifice does not “Take it easy, Ricardo” Thus ended an all too brief Facebook chat with Master Warrant Officer Richard Davey, a member of the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry, currently serving his second tour of duty in Afghanistan. Rich and I have been friends for almost 20 years. He’s a soldiers’ soldier. An easygoing, hard working, infantryman, with a knack for leadership that few can compare to. His service overseas reads like a laundry list of Canadian military operations over the past 25 years. Cyprus, Rwanda, Bosnia, Kosovo, Afghanistan. He has missed countless birth-

days, holidays, anniversaries and special occasions, serving his country in places that most of us would never even consider visiting, let alone spending 6-8 months living in. Rich is a rare breed amongst the citizens of Canada. He is Canadian soldier. On Remembrance Day, we spend a great deal of time focusing on the wars and battles of the past. From the Boer War to the Korean War, we take the time to recognize those who have served and those who have sacrificed, so that we may enjoy the freedoms we have today. These were ordinary men and women who went out and did extra ordinary things, in the face

of adversity and the horrors of war. Over 114,000 of them never returned. As the years progress, those who did return and hold the memories of these times, are also slipping away, making our efforts to remember all the more important. However, the experience of war is not far away. It exists in the thousands of men and women who serve our country today. In our history, we are taught to the names of people and places that define our country’s military history; Vimy Ridge, Ypres, General Sir Arthur Currie, Dieppe, Operation Market Garden, Sergeant Smokey Smith, Battle of

Kapyong and the PPCLI. As time passes, will we remember Operation Anaconda, Battle of Panjwaii or Private Jason Lamont? The names and the places may change, but the sacrifice and valor does not. As we stand in silence this Remembrance Day, let us remember all of those who came before us and did the things that needed to be done to ensure our freedom. Let us also remember those who have and are currently serving us, today, in faraway lands, for this is our story to pass on to future generations to remember. Lest we forget.

Buy crafts and support fair trade As the holiday season approaches, begin your Christmas shopping with a visit to the Fair Trade Global Craft Fair. This festive event will be held in the Timberline Secondary School gym on Sat., Nov. 19 from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. Enjoy shopping for unique and beautiful items while supporting fair trade and environmentally sustainable projects around the world. This is the fourth year the fair has been held at Timberline – over the last few years it has been very well attended by satisfied shoppers who enjoyed the opportunity to purchase a wide variety of meaningful gifts. Organizers of the Campbell River fair hope that this event will continue to thrive and grow, with more and different vendors

participating every year. Vendors at the fair will be selling products from many different countries. Krochet Kids will be selling jaunty knit hats and other products made in Uganda – these hats provide poor women the opportunity to provide themselves and their families with a living wage. 10,000 Villages from Victoria will have an abundance of beautiful Christmas ornaments, toys, fair trade food products and so much more. Small World Imports from Duncan will be bringing intricately designed Tibetan carpets. There will be a great selection of quality woven textiles and other products from Comercio Justo, a Cumberlandbased organization, which promotes fair commerce in Guatemala by buying directly from the Mayan people.

The Gathering Place, based on Cortes, will be selling fair trade sea salt, spices and teas. Locally hand-crafted African AIDS Angels will be on sale with all proceeds supporting AIDS relief projects in Southern Africa. Other organizations such as Oikocredit and African Community Technical Support will provide great gift alternatives for those hard-to-buy for people on your list. Our local Campbell River Grandmothers to Grandmother groups (in support of the Stephen Lewis Foundation) will be at the fair again this year. They will be selling a variety of items including delectable baked goods, Bumbrellas (bicycle seat covers), “It’s a Wrap” reusable sandwich wrappers, candles and other items. This year, Interact students from Timberline will offer a

gift-wrapping service. All proceeds from this endeavour will go towards making Shelter Boxes. Each box contains life saving equipment for an extended family in areas affected by disasters. Take a break from shopping to enjoy a cup of fair-trade coffee, a snack or lunch prepared by the International Co-op Program. Young people from

The Best of the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour returns to Campbell River and Quadra Island for its annual shows at the end of November. Every year filmmakers and adventurers gather in Banff for a week long festival and at the end prizes are awarded and a selection made that hits the road and travels worldwide. Amongst the films entered this year is ‘Cold’ a 19 minute film directed and produced by Anson Fogel. Cold takes the viewer to 8000 metres to experience Gasherbrum II in the middle of a deep, dark winter as seen from the raw, honest perspective of alpinist Cory Richard’s camera. This film deftly captures the interwoven roles of pain, fear, and doubt – and reveals a harrowing descent that

“Seeds of Resilience” workshop put on by Imagine Campbell River: Growing Better Together this past Thursday. “They responded really well,” said project coordinator Erin Dusdal. “They came up with some really thoughtful ideas that they could do really simply to make a difference in people’s days.” Resiliency training teaches people to deal with stressful issues in their lives in a positive way, and how to pass on the training to others in the community to improve mental health overall. The workshop lasted over two hours, and happened on a professional development day at school, so the Grade 10-12 students went to the workshop on their day off. These co-op students will fundraise in the community this school year, so they

can go to Guatemala next summer. Dusdal said they were asked to make up an action plan at the end of the workshop, which outlined ways they could help build resilience in the community or help build a sense of belonging in others; she was very impressed with what they came up with. “They were a really engaged group of kids with some really great ideas and they seemed to grasp some pretty complicated ideas very, very well,” explained Dusdal. Imagine Campbell River: Growing Better Together received funding from the Community Action Initiative back in April. In early fall, the community was invited to share personal stories of resilience, which were posted on the initiative’s website. Dusdal said she

would be delighted to receive more of these stories. “We’ve had a few, but I would love more, and they don’t have to be big stories just really simple, a nice thing that someone’s done for you or you’ve done for someone else,” explained Dusdal. A couple of workshops training community outreach professionals have already happened, and more are slated for November. A resiliency workshop will also take place at Robron high school at the end of November. And in the early new year, Carihi’s peer support class will be trained, and then the students will go into elementary schools to pass on the training to younger students. Dusdal’s intention is for the resiliency to spread throughout the community with this train the trainer

model. She said it seems to be catching on in Campbell River. “It’s begun to take off,” said Dusdal. “People are hearing about it.” Imagine Campbell River will also be at Starlight Shopping night on Fri., Dec. 2. “We’ll have a storefront and be doing some activities with families, so it definitely has kicked off and we’ve started to hit all the sectors that I want, from social services to business communities to the schools,” said Dusdal. Free winter training sessions open to the general public will happen from January-March. Spaces are limited and registration is required. Contact Dusdal at 250-202-5500 or erin@jhsni.bc.ca to register or for more information, or visit www. imaginecampbell river.ca for more information.

Campbell River Living WHAT REMEMBRANCE DAY MEANS TO ME

Who I am, where I live is a direct result of their sacrifices MIKE WIND SPECIAL TO THE MIRROR

emembrance Day has a personal and significant meaning for me on a number of levels. I’m the son of Dutch immigrants who lived through the German occupation of Holland during WWII. A country that was liberated by Canadian-led forces during the five-week long battle of the Scheldt in October through November 1944, at a cost of 6367 Canadian casualties (killed, wounded or missing). Their sacrifices allowed my father’s family the freedom to start a new life in Canada in 1954 – as well as my mother who immigrated to Canada three years later. Who I am, where I live and the freedoms I enjoy today are a direct result of their sacrifices. But for me that is not the only connec-

tion nor is it the main source of my thoughts on Remembrance Day. I was a soldier with the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry for four years in the 1980s and to this day it remains the fondest, most adventurous four-year stretch of Mike Wind my life. The military gave me numerous life experiences in a short period of time that I would not have achieved otherwise. Basic training showed me that your body can be pushed farther than your brain thinks it can. It also showed me that greater success can be achieved through teamwork rather than individual effort. I gained a true sense of camaraderie, a feel-

ing of belonging that I had never known before or since. Stationed in Germany for two years, it allowed me to experience numerous different countries and cultures. That included my parents’ homeland, for not only did I get a chance to meet aunts, uncles and cousins but I also participated in the International Four Days Marches Nijmegen (marching 160 km in four days while wearing standard combat clothing and carrying a military backpack weighing at least 10 kg). Canadian troops

participating in the marches are treated like celebrities. We marched to the applause of bystanders and children asking for souvenirs and autographs. The appreciation the Dutch have for the Canadian troops who liberated them has been passed down through the generations to this day and it truly was an amazing experience that brought me full circle to my ancestry. I’ve been to Belgium and walked through preserved World War I trenches with a knowledge of how miserable, wet, cold, depressing and dangerous the conditions were for the men there. I’ve been to some of the beautifully kept military cemeteries in Europe a n d have read and touched the Gravestones of the Cana-

Mike Wind is all smiles after a 10 km. forced march.

dian soldiers who paid the ultimate price for freedom and I feel a kinship to them, a true sense of pride. My military career ended in Germany because of a spinal cord injury which ren-

dered me a quadriplegic. Had the military not been my career I would not enjoy the quality of life, nor the level of independence, I do today. Veterans Affairs provides far more for

me with respect to income, medical coverage and equipment coverage than I ever would have achieved otherwise. When Remembrance Day comes around – and many times throughout the year – my thoughts go back to those times and experiences. I also think of current events and the soldiers participating in them today (some of whom I’ve known and soldiered with 20 odd years ago). I feel their hardship, their time away from their friends and families, the horrors of war that they might be subjected to and I mourn their losses. But I also feel a bit envious of their positive experiences, their adrenalinerushing experiences, their scared-to-death experiences and their experience of being with a tight-knit, well-trained group of people who have each other’s back.

Fahey, Gordon Ludvigson and Jalen Price received a hat trick each. Tyee Logan Chapdelaine scored two goals for the Tyees while Brendan Almer, Cole Devlin, Bryce Narhi, and Evan Fox each scored a goal a piece. Sunday’s game against Saanich proved to be a hard

fought battle, with the Tyees killing a total of nine penalties, but the team persevered, coming away with a 6-5 win. Fahey and Owen Parker started the game off by scoring one goal each and receiving one assist each in the first period. This dynamic duo would

again get one goal each in the second period, with both goal assists going to Noah Fladager. But the Tyees were not yet finished as Almer scored the teams fifth goal of the game assisted by Kayle Majic. The Tyees kept battling throughout the second period and the final goal

for the team came from Devlin and was assisted by Parker. The Tyees will be back on the ice Nov. 11, at the Remembrance Day tournament in Victoria. The Tyees will start off the tournament against the Comox Valley Chiefs, at 1:20 p.m. in Saanich for a much anticipated rematch.

The Timberline Wolves football club finished the 2011 regular season with a strong 30-6 win over the Edward Milne Wolverines in Sooke on Saturday. “Last year we went down there and it took until the overtime shootout to win the game, we did not want to make that mistake this year,” said Timberline Head Coach Martin Jaunzemis. “Our focus all week was to not underestimate them (Milne) and to deal with their blitz, we put points on the board early and that gave us control of the game.” Timberline would drive down the field on the opening possession with a combination of Mike Weston running the ball, and Dylan Tucker short passing the ball to score the first six points of the game. “That first drive was all about us telling them that if you live by the blitz,

you are going to die by the blitz, we planned for it, we had confidence in our strategy, we attacked it, and by the end of the drive Milne changed their defence away from the blitz,” Jaunzemis said. “That allowed us to run our normal stuff for the rest of the game.” Timberline QB Dylan Tucker connected with wide receiver Greg Perry for a 70-yard pass and run to put Timberline on top of a 14-0 half time lead. Milne would draw close to the Wolves by scoring their only six points early in the fourth quarter before Timberline added another two scores. Defensive Co-ordinator Steve Koehler identified MLB’er James Danylchuck and rookie cornerback Aiden Edinborough as having played their best defensive games for the Wolves.

Timberline’s Jamie Danylchuk (#65) goes in for the takedown during the Wolves’ playoff match against the Wolverines in Sooke last Saturday.

Wolves: playoffs loom Continued from A19 Vlaj would combine with Tucker and Weston to keep the Wolverines off balance for the second half of the game. “All these guys had big contributions either catching or running to keep the ball moving and momentum in our favour,” Jaunzemis said. “We played a good game, but it took us a while to shake off the rust of the

unexpected bye week. We did not play our best against Belmont the week before that, so we needed to get our confidence back. We made some mistakes, dropped some balls, and threw a few interceptions on Saturday. We need to put that behind us now and move forward and play the kind of football we are capable of,” said the Wolves Head coach in challenging his team to a great practice week

heading into the playoffs. Timberline will now host GP Vanier this Saturday at 12:55 p.m at Timberline in its first playoff game. “We cannot underestimate Vanier, yes we beat them once, but that means nothing now. In their minds they played us close, had a halftime lead and they will be gunning for us on Saturday. We need to be better than the last time,” Jaunzemis said.

DAVID SMITH/SPECIAL TO THE MIRROR

Red-breasted Sapsuckers live year-round in Vancouver Island Forests.

wells, and then return every few days to lick up the sweet rewards. Sapsuckers may also sit nearby, patiently waiting for the sap to flow … a slow process during the cold winter months. Kinglets, warblers, phoebes, and many other birds feast on sap made available by these avian syrup aficionados. Hummingbirds seek out sapsucker sap during their early spring migration, and butterflies dine off the bird’s labours when nectar is scarce. Sapsucker signs are far easier to find than the actual bird, so consider yourself successful if you discover a tree with the tell-tale neatly-drilled holes, and then listen for tapping sounds or distant drumming and hope for a fly-in. In cold weather, these birds move with the snowline down to warmer areas and may be seen in coastal backyards. The West Coast is home to a half-dozen woodpecker species, plus woodpecker cousins: the red-breasted sapsucker and northern flicker. Downy and hairy woodpeckers frequent backyard birdfeeders, and are much more commonly seen. A habitué of old-growth forests, the Pileated woodpecker will more likely be seen on a woodland nature walk, but may be tempted to backyards by a log suet-feeder. Largely carnivorous, northern flickers prefer to peck at ants and other ground-dwelling insects. E-mail Christine at: wildernesswest@shaw. ca.

Drive Smart BC The Approved Screening Device Much has been written recently about the Approved Screening Device being used by police to test drivers under the Immediate Roadside Prohibition program. Many are curious about how it works, and those that have been tested were quite often surprised at the result. The authority for the screening comes from section 254 of the Criminal Code. Where a peace officer reasonably suspects that a person who is operating or has care and control of a motor vehicle, vessel or aircraft, or is assisting in the operation of an aircraft, whether it is in motion or not, has alcohol in his body, the peace officer may demand that the person provide a proper sample of breath to be analyzed in the roadside screening device. The peace officer may also demand that the person accompany him to enable the sample to be taken. Every one commits an offence who, without reasonable excuse, fails or refuses to comply with the demand made to him by a peace officer. The courts have held that it is a reasonable restriction on a persons rights under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms that the sample be provided without being entitled to consult counsel. This means that it is not an excuse to refuse because you haven’t talked to a lawyer first. The Motor Vehicle Act leaves a police officer making a roadside breath test under the Criminal Code no discretion. Depending on whether the test results in a warn or a fail, they must take possession of the driver’s license and issue the appropriate prohibition document. The requirement to prohibit also applies if the driver refuses without lawful excuse to provide a proper breath sample. The author is a retired constable with many years of traffic enforcement experience. To comment or learn more, please visit www. drivesmartbc.ca. Cst. Tim Schewe (Rtd.), DriveSmartBC

Carihi students are fighting malaria in Africa–and hoping to bring Rick Mercer back to town. Carihi high school Grade 11 French immersion social studies teacher Maureen Desrochers was watching the Rick Mercer Report last March when she first heard about the Spread the Net Student Chal-

lenge. “I thought in the back of my mind that’s a fun thing to have my students do, to sort of get them involved,” said Desrochers. “It’s a good positive thing to talk about at school, what kids are doing.” Spread the Net is a campaign to end malaria in Africa by donating mosquito nets, and in the Student Challenge, schools that raise the most money

are featured on Canadian comedy icon Mercer’s show. M e rc e r c a m e t o Campbell River in August and snorkeled with the salmon for a segment of his show, and as Desrochers is a loyal fan, she would like him to come back while at the same time donating to a good cause. Students have until Feb. 29 to raise funds, and this is Carihi’s first year participating in

the challenge, according to Desrochers. Her French immersion social studies class, and Grade 11 French class are taking part, as well as a leadership class and other students from the school. So far, she said things are going well. “Whatever we earn is good. We’ve got $350 so far roughly, and we’ll see what happens,” said Desrochers. “I put my initial goal as Continued on Page 31

Campbell River, help the kids win Continued from Page 30 being $2000, but who knows?â&#x20AC;? She has incorporated the initiative into her social studies class and the kids will develop power point presentations and come up with their own fundraising ideas. She also plans to have them present their ideas to students at the middle schools to try to involve more of the community. Some ideas so far are bake sales, donation jars in local businesses, penny drives and passing around collection jars at student leadership activities that take place in the school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a few other things in the works that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping will work out but I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really say what they are, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping this is going to expand more,â&#x20AC;? said Desrochers, who added that the students are â&#x20AC;&#x153;all enthusiastic about it.â&#x20AC;? Grade 11 French immersion social studies student Emily Koopman collected about $150 through pledges already, and though she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; t want to share details until fully planned, she is organizing a fundraiser. She hopes Carihi wins. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it would be really good for our school because Campbell River doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really get recognized that often,â&#x20AC;? said Koopman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that it would be good if Carihi high won.â&#x20AC;? Koopman fundraises for Ronald McDonald House in Vancouver, in her spare time and said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to help people who need it. She said she thinks

that raising money for mosquito nets is important. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just think that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really good cause, and I just think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really important.â&#x20AC;? The nets cost $10 each, and last year the winning high school, Espanola High School in Ontario, raised $13,307.91. Elementary and postsecondary schools can enter the challenge too, and Mercer will visit the top scorer in each group. According to the Spread the Net website, a child dies from malaria every 45 seconds. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the single biggest killer of children under the age of five, and accounts for one in five of all childhood deaths in Africa. Children sleep under the nets, which are teated with a long lasting insecticide, and their chances of contracting malaria are reduced by 50 per cent. Campbell Riverites can watch for upcoming fundraisers put on by Carihi students, drop off donations at the school office, or contact Desrochers at Maureen.Desrochers@ sd72.bc.ca. Cheques must be made payable to Spread the Net c/o The Belinda Stronach Foundation and are tax deductible.
