The ins and outs of ballot counting KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Outgoing council reflects on a tough term KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Outgoing council members rehashed what was a challenging year for the city in their final address Tuesday night. Mayor Charlie Cor nfield,

who did not run for re-election, praised council for moving the city forward despite the economic downturn. “I would like to especially thank council for their hard work and dedication,” Cornfield said at Tuesday’s council meet-

ing. “This term on council was very complex, very time consuming and you rose to the occasion and worked hard and did a great job. “We faced huge economic challenges and we faced them head on. We tend to be very critical

of ourselves but I want you to know there’s nothing to be critical about, only to celebrate.” Cornfield described all the positives and accomplishments of the past three years, including all the work that has gone into

A total of 156 ballots were rejected in the municipal election, nearly two per cent of the voter turnout. Ballots were rejected if one section – either the vote for mayor, councillors, or school trustee – was left blank. “The voting card was actually treated as three separate ballots,” Peter Wipper, chief election official, said.

Rotary honours two community contributors RENÉE ANDOR CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

wo hardworking Campbell Riverites received recognition for a job well done. Carol Chapman and Bill Henderson were handed Paul Harris Fellow Awards at the Rotary Club of Campbell River’s luncheon on Wednesday. Club member Pieter Koeleman said it’s rare for two community members who are not Rotary Club members to win the award, but what these two individuals have contributed to Campbell River is outstanding. Chapman volunteers her time for many events and fundraisers in the community, including organizing the Tour de Rock events in town, fundraising for the SPCA, working for the Hospital Foundation, and putting on the Canada Day celebrations,

Henderson said he was touched to receive the award, and mentioned he carved a piece to go into the Rotary Club’s TV Auction this coming weekend. “Every year it’s an honour to carve pieces for the auction, knowing where the money’s going, not only in the community, but all over different parts of the world,” said Henderson. “It’s awesome.” Henderson carved a red cedar Caller Mask, which is for the man who calls people to gather for a potlatch, for this year’s TV Auction. As of Wednesday, the starting bid on the mask was $1,500. The Paul Harris Fellowship Award is named after the man behind Rotary Clubs. Harris founded the first service group in the world in Chicago in 1905, which is where Rotary has its roots.

Chapman said “it’s huge” to be honoured by the Rotary Club, but added that the enjoyment she gets from helping out in the community is honour enough for her. “I don’t ever feel that I deserve to be honoured just for working in our community of Campbell River,” said Chapman. “I love this town, and I love to do anything I can to help, and the reason I do it is cause it makes me happy.” Koeleman introduced Wei Wai Kum master carver Bill Henderson. “Each of his creations tells a story,” said Koeleman. “In his own way he is a historian and a story teller. Over the years he has generously donated many pieces of art to many organizations in our city to contribute to and support their fundraisers, and our club is one of the grateful recipients.”

City councillors say their farewells Continued from A1 the Sustainable Official Community Plan, the green roof on City Hall, winning Communities in Bloom at the national level, involvement in Local Government Awareness Week, Spirit Square, and policies to encourage downtown revitalization. “The one thing I’m most proud of that we did as a council was we paid off our debt, we didn’t borrow any new money and we finished projects on time and on budget,” Cornfield said. “You have a lot to be proud of. The city has been well-served by this council,” Cornfield said, addressing the councillors. “I’d also like to thank city staff, a team of capable, highly-qualified professionals. “Thank you for your dedication to serving the city, I know it hasn’t been easy. “To the new mayor and councillors, the foundation is in place, but there’s more to be done. The city will g row and prosper. We’re going to pass the torch to you.” Coun. Roy Grant, who has served on council for the past nine years, gave up his council seat to run for mayor, but his bid was unsuccessful. Grant said although he won’t sitting at the council table, he plans to stay involved and encouraged others who ran but were not elected to do the same. “ C o n t i nu e t o b e involved with your city, continue to strive for what’s best for your city and in 2014 get your name back on the ballot again, because eventually you’ll get to where you want to be,” Grant said. “There’s significant challenges that lay ahead and some serious decisions have to be made.” Grant said it’s been a blessing to work with the current council and the entire community. “It’s been a real honour representing all the city employees and all the residents,” a choked up Grant said. Coun. Ziggy Stewart, who like Grant ran unsuccessfully for the mayor’s job, kept his farewell address brief. “I’d like to thank everyone who supported me over the last six years,” Stew-

“

THEY SAID IT: “The city

will grow and prosper. We’re going to pass the torch on to you.” – Mayor Charlie Cornfield

art said. “Anytime you sign up for this kind of job it’s demanding. It’s demanding emotionally, it’s demanding in ways you just can’t explain.” Stewart also explained his behaviour at the council table, which he said may have come across in the wrong way. “I think what people saw and was deemed as anger was just passion for the community,” Stewart said. Coun. Claire Moglove

singled out each of the three outgoing council members. “Ziggy, I was on your campaign team when you first ran in 2005 and I want to thank you for the support you gave me when I decided to run for council in 2008,” Moglove said. “Thank you for the help you gave me, especially in my first year on council. “You have a special voice on council that I don’t think can be replaced easily.

“When the community sees investment, in a sawmill or a pellet plant, whatever it may be, it will be thanks to your work on the Future of Forestry Task Force.” Moglove also thanked Grant for his support. “Roy, it’s been a pleasure to be on council with you,” Moglove said. “I always appreciated your support on areas I was interested in and could always go to you for advice.” L a s t l y, M o g l o v e thanked Mayor Cornfield, not only for his years as mayor, but for his time as councillor. “Thank you for your support and the trust you showed in me and letting me run with different issues, in particular the hospital,” Moglove said. “I also appreciate your

never-ending array of knowledge.” Coun. Andy Adams acknowledged Cornfield for his neverending commitment to Campbell River. “Your worship, we haven’t always seen eye-to-eye but you are Campbell River’s biggest cheerleader and your passion to see Campbell River succeed is unwavering,” Adams said. Cornfield was presented with a token of council’s appreciation – the ESPN Jeopardy game (Cornfield recently won a Vancouver Island tourism jeopardy competition between Island mayors). Mayor-elect Walter Jakeway takes over the reins from Cornfield at the inaugural council meeting Tues., Dec. 6.

Ballots: One of lowest turnouts ever Continued from A1 Because each race can be considered a separate ballot, if one section was left blank, only that section was rejected, not the entire voting card. However, if for example someone voted for only four council candidates, instead of the maximum number of six, those four candidate votes would still be counted. Ballots were only rejected if someone completely blanked out a section. Wipper said ballots were also rejected, or spoiled, if people voted for too many mayor, council, or school

The 92 people who did spoil a ballot were given a replacement voting card. “Because the city uses an automated voting machine, if someone spoils a ballot, they can get a replacement,” Wipper said. “The machine catches spoiled ballots. Every one of those 92 people who spoiled a ballot still got to cast a vote.” There were 24,014 registered voters when the election began and

275 new registrations for a total of 24,289 eligible voters. Voter turnout was 7,404, or 30 per cent of registered voters. That number is one of the lowest on record. In 2008, 9,537 people cast a ballot, a turnout of 39.9 per cent and in 2005, voter turnout was 33 per cent with 7,291 people voting.

Planning for Life Changes Split Pension Income In 2007 the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) introduced pension splitting. Those with pension income eligible for the pension income tax credit are allowed to split their pension with their spouse or common law Faye Reynen spouse (up to half of the amount of their pension). The amount to be split can be changed to their best beneﬁt each year. This effectively allows them to receive $4,000 tax free pension income (2,000 tax credit each) and to get more income into a lower tax bracket. Disability Tax Credit One of the most lucrative provisions on the tax return is the Disability Tax Credit, particularly since 2008, because DTC-eligibility is required in order to invest funds in the new Registered Disability Savings Plan. The application form is posted on the internet and can be found at: Now is a good time to take this new form to your medical practitioner (that is a medical doctor, optometrist, audiologist, occupational therapist, physiotherapist, psychologist or speech-language pathologist, as appropriate) if any of the following conditions are new or have changed signiﬁcantly in your lives in the past year -- or that of a family member: • Is there a new medical impairment (physical or mental) that is expected to last for a continuous period of at least 12 months? • Is the patient blind? • Is the patient receiving life-sustaining therapy at least 3 times a week for an average of at least 14 hours a week, including regular dosage of medication that requires daily adjustment? • Is he or she markedly restricted (90% of the time or more) in speaking, hearing, walking, elimination, feeding, dressing, mental functions like thinking, perceiving, remembering? This credit is lucrative, so if you might know of someone or yourself that might qualify, please ask your tax professional or contact CRA for the application.

City wins marketing award KRISTEN DOUGLAS

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Despite taking criticism for the Island Highway upgrades, the city has won an award for its marketing of the project. The city’s efforts in communicating progress along Highway 19A are being recognized through one of the largest public relation competitions in the world. The city is the win-

ner of a MarCom Gold Award for consistently sharing information as the project went along. The MarCom Awards is an international creative competition that recognizes outstanding achievement by marketing and communication professionals, according to a MarCom news release. Mayor Charlie Cornfield said at Tuesday’s council meeting that Marci Hotsenpiller of ZincPR was hired by

the city to develop a communication plan to keep the community informed of progress made in not only the Highway 19A upgrade project, but also the airport runway extension project, for about 18 months. Cor nfield said it was “all in an effort to provide timely and clear information to the public, and help residents know what to expect during construction, with a goal

of minimizing disruptions and share information about the benefits of the (highway) project.” The city submitted samples of communications work on both projects for consideration in the MarCom Awards competition. Campbell River was up against more than 6,000 entries from throughout Canada, the United States and several other countries. According to a letter from MarCom, approximately 18 per cent of the 6,000-plus entries were recognized at the gold level this year. The city will receive an official award certificate in about six weeks, Cornfield said Tuesday. The team put together advertisements, newsletters and webpages and co-ordinated information distribution to provide timely, clear,

understandable and complete project information to the public and news media and to help prevent or deal with project delays, Cornfield said. Still, despite the publicity, the city faced some criticism once the highway was reopened to traffic. Reid Wharton, president of the local fire fighters union, said in April that the highway is too narrow for fire trucks to safely pass at high speeds in emergency situations. The city put the highway to the test at a grand opening weeks later. The fire tanker was able to pass a city truck, but Wharton said it was a tight squeeze and the fire truck wasn’t speeding, with lights flashing and sirens wailing. Cornfield has always maintained there is nothing wrong with the highway.

food and water is just wrong! There are many reasons that a cat may avoid the litter box. If your cat has suddenly stopped using the litter box, there may be a speciﬁc problem. It may be that the cat has an illness such as a bladder or digestive problem that is painful, and the cat has associated the pain that occurs when it uses the litter box with the litter box itself. There may be a problem that is causing the cat to produce more urine than normal, such as diabetes, kidney disease, or liver problems. Therefore, it is always important to have your cat examined by your veterinarian to rule out physical problems prior to assuming that the problem is behavioural.

Cleaning up, one street at a time KRISTEN DOUGLAS

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Susan Black’s cleanup along Dogwood Street is growing. What started out as an effort to pick up litter during her morning walk has turned into an army of volunteers who meet monthly to clean-up the street. T he initiative, dubbed Clean Living, has caught the attention of Campbell Riverites who share Black’s enthusiasm to keep the city clean and litter free. “Clean Living has expanded its territory

from one block to two blocks,” Black told city council a few weeks ago. “We’re concentrated at both ends of Dogwood.” Black recently “adopted” a 350 metre stretch (along Dogwood between 2nd and 4th Avenues), and for one hour each month she picks up chip bags, chocolate bar wrappers, coffee cups and other items that people have carelessly left along the sidewalk. A few weeks ago, Anne Nikolic, who lives in the Willow Point Area, volun-

teered to adopt a section of South Dogwood Street, starting at Hilchey Road and travelling north along South Dogwood for 350 metres. Nikolic retired to Campbell River from Port Hardy in 2009. “What I especially love about Campbell River is its beauty,” Nikolic said. “But it breaks my heart when we see so much garbage. “The Dogwood corridor is a really important route for many travellers and it should look welcoming. It’s near where I live and

litter she came across on a regular basis on her walk from Madison Apartments to Strathcona Gardens. Black, who has travelled to places like Nepal, India and China, said she expected clean streets upon her return to Canada, but found Campbell River to be no different from some of the third world countries she visited. “ W h at c o m e s t o mind is my trip to India which is one of the dirtiest (countries) in the world,” Black told council back in March. “But when I saw the conditions of the streets here I thought ‘oh I’m back in Delhi.’” Black pleaded with council to do something about all the garbage but said she was told the city didn’t have the man-power to keep up with all the litter. That’s when she took matters into her own hands and came up with the idea for Clean Living. Since then, volunteers have met one Thursday a month and the city has donated trash pickers, work gloves, and garbage bags for the volunteers to use. Nikolic said although the help has been great, she would like to see even more people lend a hand. “Our vision is that everybody will take a section along Dogwood at some point and everyone becomes a block leader,” Nikolic said. “I’d like to see people along the Island Highway because it’s the entrance to town. Even Alder is a good one because it gets a lot of traffic.” To join the Clean Living initiative, contact Black at (250) 286-3735 or e-mail cleanlivingcr@gmail.com

Rotary funds come back to community RENÉE ANDOR CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

“Campbell River, you guys are good.” This was District Rotary Foundation Chair Joan Firkins’ message as she spoke to the Rotary Club of Campbell River during a special presentation on Wednesday. While the club contributes to Campbell River through projects like the Rotary Seawalk, Rotary Beach Park, helping with the creation of walking trails and many other things, Firkins came to tell local club members what their fundraising is doing on a global scale. She said an underlying theme in all Rotary Foundation endeavours is sustainability. “To make (projects) sustainable there has to be somewhat of an education component attached to it, so that when all the rotarians leave and all the money has been expended with regard to the project, the people in the local community are able to carry the project on,” explained Firkins. She also spoke about the Foundation’s fight to eradicate polio in third world countries, which the Rotary Foundation has been working on since 1985. “Even though we’ve been doing it for years, we’ll keep going,” said Firkins.

against this disease. The Rotary Foundation also provides funding for vocational training, group study exchanges, scholarships, global and matching grants, district grants, and Rotary Peace Centres. She also reminded local club members that half of the money they send to the Foundation comes right back to Campbell River for local initiatives within three years. “It doesn’t go off into airy-fairy land and you never see it again or don’t know what happened to it,” said Firkins. “The other 50 per cent goes to the world fund and that’s where the matching money comes from, the grants that we apply for, so all in all we get very good use out of the money that we contribute.”

PUBLISHER: Zena Williams publisher@campbellrivermirror.com

EDITOR: Alistair Taylor editor@campbellrivermirror.com

Our View

Council a true public service Another municipal election has come and gone, washing away those who lost the public trust and ushering in fresh new faces and ideas. Unlike provincial and federal poliWe say: These are tics, serving in local government is the people who one of the few truly “public service” jobs left in politics. truly build our The wages for those who sit on community the councils of small towns and cities all over B.C. are compensatory, at best. Nobody goes into civic politics to make a fortune.

That’s what keeps politics at this level refreshingly honest. The people who go into local politics generally do so because of a love for where they live and a protective duty for their community, not to grab and hold onto power for selfish reasons. But not all who run for election become the elected. There are also the also-rans. Those parents and grandparents, community volunteers and local business leaders, who decided to put their lives on hold to appeal to a bolder vision for their town. Most of them are just like us. They pay their taxes, scrape by on a modest income,

and split time between work and packing their kids in the car to rush off for extracurricular activities. Part of the attraction of municipal politics is that you can often look at a person running for council and say, “there, but for the grace of a regular sleeping routine, go I.” So, for those who have just completed their term on council, regional district and school board, we thank you for your – at times – thankless service. It’s people like you that actually build our community, rather than sit back, complain and criticize. For those about to begin a term, you deserve our thanks as well.

Good point: Teachers Every week I read Tom Fletcher’s column with dread, knowing that he cannot seem to let a week pass by without taking a swipe at unions. He doesn’t seem to understand that all of us, whether we are in a union or not, have decent working conditions today because unions have fought for them for generations. And it becomes more obvious every day that we will need to continue to do so. But in particular, Mr. Fletcher feels the need to constantly attack teachers with the most disrespectful comments. I often wonder why he has such a “hate-on” for teachers. Maybe he has some personal history, who knows? But what he definitely does not have is any understanding of who teachers are, or what we have to deal with on a daily basis. Mr. Fletcher would not survive one week as a teacher. He portrays teachers as “self- serving.” Wow! There is no other job, except perhaps nursing, that demands that we constantly put the needs of others ahead of our own, or often our families’ needs, more than teaching does. After many after-school/evening hours of preparation and marking, many teachers lay awake at night trying to figure out how we can teach a particular concept more clearly so that one child will understand. Or what can I do to reach those children who come to school from dysfunctional families, hungry every day, so that they will care about getting an education? Or how can I win over or deal with those children with Continued on A15

Here’s an end to anonymous commenting online

Alistair Taylor Out On A Limb

I didn’t write the following announcement but I’m giving up my space to get it in the paper: For the last few years, as BCLocalNews.com and our family of websites have garnered more attention, some readers have raised concerns about one issue in particular – the fact we allow visitors to post anonymous comments. The policy has led to some unpleasant and mean-spirited postings. It’s also raised an inconsistency in our Black Press brand. Our community newspapers don’t print anonymous letters, yet we’ve allowed our websites to become a place where people can hide their identity while occasionally taking shots at one another. Starting Dec. 1, that policy will change.

People will only be able to comment by using theirFacebook account, which means their name, often even their photograph, will be linked to the statements they post. BCLocalNews.,com is not alone in making this shift. Several media companies, equally troubled by the vitriolic trend of anonymous comments, are turning to Facebook to power their website commenting. All of Black Press in B.C., Alberta and Washington State have made the switch. Our sister publications have continued to see spirited discourse among those who post comments, yet the discourse is at a much higher level, and commentators are generally well-mannered and on-topic. This new approach won’t be perfect. People without a Facebook account

won’t be able to participate in online discussions. Still, we’re enthused to be in the vanguard of this movement. It shows we’re listening to our readers and responding. It places us more deeply into the powerful world of social media: by using Facebook Comments, we’re embracing a social medium with 800 million users worldwide. For those of you who choose not to create a Facebook account, remember we will continue to run letters to the Editor in print - you can submit them to the newsroom of your choice at: http://www.blackpress.ca/ advertising/editoriallist.php. For the Campbell River Mirror, you can visit www.campbellrivermirror.com or you can e-mail: editor@campbellrivermirror.com.

So please continue to be a part of the discussion. Your comments are part of an important dialogue that enlivens and enriches civic life in our communities.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 2011 | CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR |

Teachers: smaller classes dismissed as trivial Continued from A14 major behavior issues so that they will stay calm long enough to allow me to teach most of one lesson? He is surprised that trustee forums are “taken over by teachers.” That would be because no one else knows or cares about the state of public education like teachers do. Every year the teachers watch our trustees make difficult decisions about what services they will cut this year. We know they do not control the amount they receive, but they are the only ones who can put pressure on the gover nment to increase funding. The government does not listen to teachers, that is for certain. We have watched the state of public education deteriorate year after year while the government increases funding to private schools. We move closer every year to the two-tier model of education that we see in the U.S., England, and Australia. Mr. Fletcher also dismisses our demands

for “smaller classes, more special needs support, the familiar list of demands” as if these are just trivial aspects of an otherwise simple job. Let’s put Mr. Fletcher in a class of 30+ kids that has 10 children with identified special needs. These classes do exist. Some students are physically disabled, some have severe learning disabilities, some have various degrees of autism and some have huge behavioral issues due to many different types of neglect, abuse or just inadequate parenting skills. A few of these children have an educational assistant that can assist them in doing their work, but most do not. In this class, some of the behaviorally challenged children can make it virtually impossible to teach a lesson. All of these children need more help! But let’s not forget the other kids, all of whom have their own unique needs as well. The challenge of meeting the needs of every child in that class is absolutely

overwhelming. How are you going to manage it Mr. Fletcher? There have been h u g e c u t b a ck s i n the numbers of educational assistants across the province. The education ministry likes to change the rules for designating certain special needs so that they do not have to provide extra funding for those children. And there are no assessment instruments to determine special needs in early primary children. So teachers of Kindergarten, Grade 1, and Grade 2 students have to deal with a myriad special needs with no additional help. This is a chronic issue that is paid little attention. As for the “stale leftist ideology that is so pervasive” in the Occupy camps, of course, that is the teachers’ union’s fault too. No one in his/ her right mind could independently come to the conclusion that the taxation system in this province has exacerbated the economic downturn we are experiencing. We should be listening to the brain-

washing of the “NeoLiberal” agenda that keeps repeating the mantra that “taxes are bad, taxes are bad.” So many in our society have bought into that so deeply that we have elected a government that has slashed income taxes and reduced the corporate taxes to the lowest level in the G8 countries. Does Mr. Fletcher know that we now pay more in MSP premiums in B.C. than the corporations pay in taxes? Oh, but they tell us we have to have low corporate taxes to attract and maintain business. But tax experts have shown that there is not a shred of evidence to support that position. And no one has seen corporations flocking into B.C. since these cuts have occurred. What we have seen is over $300 million per year cut from the education budget. If our tax rates were restored to 2000 levels, there would be adequate funding in all ministries to restore services to their previous levels. There are 3,500 less teachers than there would be

if the provisions for class size and composition had not been illegally stripped from our collective agreement (That solved the looming teacher shortage in 2002). But yes Mr. Fletcher, we also think that B.C. teachers deserve to be paid equitably with other teachers across Canada. We are now No. 8 in the country. A teacher in B.C. makes $15-20,000 less than a teacher in Alberta. They could live 30 minutes apart. There is a huge bubble of teachers who will soon be retiring in the next few years and we need to be able to attract teachers to B.C. And please stop recycling the myth that teachers make more than workers with equivalent training (5-6 years university) that work in the private sector. We are constantly losing young dynamic teachers to the private sector because they can make so much more money for so much less stress! All of the above are some of the problems Continued on A16

Disappointed in BCTF’s lack of flexibility Filed for publication with the Mirror Letter to BCTF President, Susan Lambert We are in support of the teachers’ job action and their fight for public education for our children. We also understand that teachers in our local school district must stay strong with the union stance and follow their direc-

tion. However, we are very disappointed in the lack of flexibility shown by the BCTF to support an issue that directly affects the parents/guardians of elementary students. It is our understanding that your office was contacted to request per mission to hold an evening Christmas concert, but the request was denied.

NORTH ISLAND COLLEGE P/U AD CVR

The majority of our families have parents that both hold jobs, making it extremely difficult for them to take time off work to come to the school for an afternoon-only concert. It should be noted that this year it is not only the Grade 6 students, but also the Grade 5 students that will be participating in their last Christmas

concert (due to reconfiguration). For most of these students, this will be the end of any fine arts presentation. We do understand the restrictions placed upon teachers through this phase of job action, however, when the teachers themselves have volunteered their own personal time for the Christmas concert, we don’t understand

the negative response as the outcome does nothing but penalize the parents and students themselves. We note that there have been cer tain exceptions made whereby the teachers are allowed to volunteer their personal time for activities: (1) sports teams that travel on weekends with the teacher coaches; (2) middle and high school band concerts; and (3) academic classes have travelled to Vancouver on weekends with their students for cultural events. Is this because those items are deemed to be part of the curriculum? If so, then the evening Christmas concert also supports the fine arts curriculum at an elementary level - the concert performances are learned and practiced during scheduled music time. Isn’t a music teacher a vocal “coach” for students - how does this differ from a sports coach? It is understood that a school-wide perforContinued on A18

Teachers: B.C.’s child poverty rate country’s highest Continued from A16 in the education sector, due to ridiculously low taxation rates, both corporate and income taxes. In the health care sector, there are huge waiting lists, understaffing, and a host of other problems. And in our social services sector, we see the line-ups at food banks increase every year and watch the homeless, many of whom are mentally ill, begging on the streets. It is shameful in such a rich country. Teachers are so “self-serving” that we are concerned about the underfunding in all ministries, not only education Mr. Fletcher. B.C. is No. 1 in Canada for the highest rate of child poverty – now there’s something you must be proud of ! Too bad our premier’s salary is only No. 2 in Canada. Poor underpaid Christy!

Georgia PAC: Effect of your decision is strong Continued from A16 mance may put pressure on all teachers in the school to “volunteer” their evening time for supervision of students. We have more than enough parent volunteers to supervise children in classrooms for the evening Christmas concert so that any teachers that did want to come for the evening would not be expected to do supervision. This is directly comparable to school family dances, which apparently have been allowed on the basis that teachers are

not there to supervise students, it’s their choice to attend. This would leave the music teacher the only one actively involved in the evening concert is this not the same as the band director at a middle/high school band concert open to the whole school? You have been contacted to have a discussion about how the union’s position concerning an evening perfor mance could be interpreted/structured to allow for support of the teachers under the current job

decision was made just prior to our Nov. 14 PAC meeting and it has not yet been announced to our general school population. When it is announced, we are anticipating that there will be a lot of disappointed, if not devastated, parents. It really is discouraging to know that our giving parental support to the teachers while they try to effect a positive educational change in our province is not reciprocated by the BCTF giving any flexibility to an issue that is so very important

action, but it does not appear that there is a willingness to assist in coming to a mutually beneficial decision. This letter has been written to communicate how strongly the negative effect of your decision is being felt directly by parents and students (not administration, trustees, or the provincial government). Quite frankly, the outcome is one that appears to be prejudicial to the elementary community. It is our understanding that the final

to the parents, students and staff. The Christmas concert has always been a hugely emotional tradition within elementary schools that celebrates the spirit of the season and the sense of community - we really don’t have any other opportunity/event that replaces it.

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

ampbell River is full of lip ticklers, crumb catchers and Mo Bros this year. Local realtor Byron Maier has been busy this month, raising awareness for menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prostate health by growing out a mustache and rallying fellow Campbell Riverites to do the same. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been busy,â&#x20AC;? said Maier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lots of stuff going on and lots of guys out there growing mustaches, and just lots of people getting involved with Movember.â&#x20AC;? One of the things keeping Maier busy is organizing the second annual Mo for the Bros gala and silent auction at Moxieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s restaurant from 7-10 p.m. this coming Wednesday.

Awards and prizes for categories including Best Mo in Character, Team Mo, Miss Movember and the Man of Movember 2011 will be handed out, and there will be a silent auction with items up for bid from mo-friendly businesses around town. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lots of wonderful gift baskets, and lots of gift certificates, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s some great prizes,â&#x20AC;? said Maier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a variety of just really, really great stuff to come out from local businesses.â&#x20AC;? A river rafting trip courtesy of Destiny River Adventures, and tickets to a Vancouver Canucks versus Calgary Flames game with a hotel stay in Vancouver courtesy of Boston Pizza are a couple of the items up for bid. Maier stresses that the night is not just

Local realtor Byron Maier shows off his well-grown mo. He is organizing a Movember gala and silent auction at Moxieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s restaurant this coming Wednesday to raise money for prostate cancer research. Tickets to a Canucks game and an overnight stay in Vancouver are among the items up for bid.

open to the Mo Bros â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Mo Sistas can join in the fun too. He said there will be stick-on mustaches available,

or suggests penciling one on for the night. Maier said generating awareness for menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prostate health

is very important, as one in six men are diagnosed with the prostate cancer in their lifetimes. His

father was diagnosed and beat it, his uncle is currently going through treatment for it, and a good friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father is just about to go through surgery due to it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had other people close to me lose relatives to it, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely affects a lot of people,â&#x20AC;? added Maier. Besides raising money for prostate cancer research, Maier said an integral part of Movember is awareness generation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The whole initial goal behind Movember is the awareness part,â&#x20AC;? said Maier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You g row the mustache and have people talk about it, and hopefully guys out thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll go â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;hey I should go in and get tested.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Winter 'shrooms: Not something you expect to see Continued from A24

leporina), yellowish-brown, tend to be elongated in shape – like rabbit ears, thus the name. Another local ‘cup’, the unmistakable orange peel fungi (Aleuria aurantia) grows in hardpacked gravel alongside the Canyon View Trail and looks like discarded orange peel. If you find a cup fungus, simply blow gently over the top, and a puff of spore ‘dust’ will appear, as the change in air pressure is sufficient to disperse the tiny reproductive particles. Winter excitement, fungus-wise, for both nature lovers and gourmands, often appears in the form of the widespread late fall oyster mushroom (aka tree oyster), a meaty edible now found on many supermarket shelves. This species actually needs a shot of cold to start the fruiting process, and usually grows from the trunk of a rotting tree. The fruiting body is the only visible part of the fungus, as the thread-like ‘root’ or mycelium, is underground. Mycelium, a network of fine white threads only one cell wide, is present year-round, but the fruiting body appears only when conditions are right. Locally, another brightly-coloured fungus that loves the cold is the blewit (Clitocybe nuda), a purple to bluish, smooth-capped ‘shroom with a stout stem – and an odour of frozen orange juice concentrate. Most people walking the woods at this time of year don’t expect to see mushrooms, but it is worth the effort to look for those that fruit late in the season. The wind may blow, and snow may fall, but we can weather the storm. We’ve got some 'shrooms to keep us warm.

2X14

Before you operate your snowmobile in British Columbia, it must the registered with ICBC. ICBC will issue an owner’s certificate and two numbered TYEE CHEV owner’s decals. The decals must be displayed on either side of the cowl of the snow machine or in another conspicuous place on each side. The owner’s certificate must be carried when the snowmobile is being operated and produced on the demand of an enforcement officer. If you bring your snowmobile into BC as a visitor for winter recreation, you are exempt from having to register it with ICBC if it is properly registered in your home province or state and you are not using it in BC for more than 30 days. If your home province or state does not require you to register your snowmobile, you must obtain a special permit from the director of the Fish and Wildlife Branch for a period not exceeding 30 days. If you intend to cross a highway or operate your snowmobile in a parking lot, you must also obtain both an operation permit from the police having jurisdiction in the area of operation and licence and insurance from ICBC. A restricted licence plate will be issued to be displayed on the machine in addition to the registration decals. Snowmobile rental agencies must register snow machines before they are rented to customers. A duplicate of this rental dealer’s certificate must be carried and produced to an enforcement officer in the same manner as an owner’s certificate. 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

Campbell River internship sets student on the road to research career The BC Centre for Aquatic Health Sciences has actively involved students in its research and development activities. During the past three years more than 10 students, ranging from high school to university level, have received training. There are opportunities for volunteering and co-op positions, and we have hosted high schools students from Timberline Secondary School, and underg raduate students from Vancouver Island University, University of Victoria, and University of British Columbia. There are also opportunities for international students. The students have a unique opportunity to acquire knowledge of various aspects of aquatic animal health, including a broad range of diagnostic and analytical tools. Learning opportunities include tissue culture and viral assays, steroid hormone analysis (ELISA), inter-

mediate metabolites analysis, enzyme and protein activity assays, DNA extraction, PCR, SDS-PAGE and Western Blot, bioassays, and field sampling. Qualified personnel, including researchers, biologists, and specialized technical officers, provide mentoring, support and feedback for them throughout their terms. The co-op positions at BC CAHS are funded by research projects, the Canada Summer Jobs Program, Universi-

ties’ co-op funding programs, and NSERC. The benefits of having students include the opportunity of training and exposing them, usually for the first time, to research activities that are directly applied to relevant real life issues. Students always bring a diverse set of skills and knowledge, which makes the environment at BC CAHS very dynamic, supportive and productive. It has been a rewarding experience for

the students and BC CAHS. In December, Steve Jang will have completed an eight month co-op work term at CAHS. Jang is a 4th year microbiology and immunology student at UBC and he has been a wonderful addition to the lab. “I decided to work with CAHS as part of my work term in order to gain valuable experience working in a research lab and to see how well I could adapt into a community that is quite different than my home town of Vancouver,” Jang said. “I have really enjoyed the community and natural beauty that Campbell River has to offer. “For the past few months as a junior lab assistant at CAHS, I have had the opportunity to become familiar with various lab techniques that are usually lear ned in lectures or read about in textbooks. I have learned about molecular biology techniques like DNA extractions and microscopy. “The most memorable CAHS experience I have had was the field work that I was able to take part in. “I was able to travel to some isolated coastal communities, despite treacherous weather, and it was a very exciting experience” When he completes his term with CAHS, Jang will travel to Germany for eight months for another work term placement working as a student assistant within a lab. “With both CAHS and a German internship, I hope to continue my education in graduate school and eventually pursue a career as a Research Scientist in Microbiology,” Jang said.

Restless Josie in Tuff adventure travel show will air to 35-million viewers Christmas will come early this year for 35-million arm chair adrenaline junkies, when the Canadian adventure sports television show Restless Josie make its American TV debut on Tuff TV on Dec. 11. More than 35-million people in the US can watch the guy-centric cable station. That’s a jump into the big leagues for Restless Josie, a show hosted by Campbell River’s Josie Boulding, that combines wanderlust with adventure sports, music and interesting interviews. “Partnering with Tuff is really exciting,” Boulding says. “It means a whole new demographic will get a chance to experience and enjoy the amazing people, places and sports with me. People like Sonnie Trotter, one of the world’s top climbers, Brendan Seminuk, a crazy aerial mountain biker, 11 time world champion surfer Kelly Slater and many more. “Plus, I interviewed celebrities like Kevin Costner and Adrien Grenier.” Boulding set out to create the show after being struck with a need to travel. While watching professional surfers daring huge waves in Hawaii, she became fascinated by the passion of athletes who risk their lives pursuing their sport. The television show will combine her love for travel, interviews with athletes, footage of them in action and dramatic scenery with Boulding guiding viewers through it all. “I really enjoy meeting new people, especially those that who work hard to achieve their dream,” Boulding says. “There are so many world class athletes who are overlooked because their sport is not well known. I want to tell their stories.” That’s just what she does in Restless Josie, season one. The episodes include the little known rodeo stars of the Calgary Stampede, the sand and sexiness of Kelowna’s Centre of Gravity Games, Whistler’s knobby tired insanity of Crankworx, the world’s best surfers taking over New York

P/U AD

With the passage of the Teachers’ Act and the transition of the BC College of Teachers to the new Teacher Regulation Branch of the Ministry of Education, there are some changes that may require you to take urgent action. All persons who hold a non-practising or non-practising [retired] certificate must upgrade to a practising certificate by January 6, 2012 in order to retain a teaching certificate.

Josie Boulding interviews rodeo cowboy Arian Grenier.

City, rock climbing with Canada’s top climber in Squamish, and the music scene and two-wheeled acrobatics in the Comox Valley. To add flow and beat, the show’s soundtrack will tap stellar, lesser known music.

“I’m a huge music fan,” she says. “I love finding new music. This is a great opportunity to expose independent bands and talented musicians.” Restless Josie hits the U.S. airways in December. To find out more about the show visit

www.restlessjosie. com. “The show’s success will come from the extremely talented athletes, beautiful scenery, excellent music and a great team to put it all together,” Boulding says. “It’s all about having fun.”

3X8

Non-practising certificate holders who have not paid the $120 practising fee or $60 top-up fee to the College by January 6, 2012 will lose their certificates under legislation upon the College’s transition to the new Teacher Regulation Branch in early January. After January 6, former BC College of Teachers members who held these certificates would be required to reapply for new certificates under the requirements in place at the time of application. Members who hold non-practising certificates but are currently in receipt of LTD benefits are exempt from this change.

Health task force wants less breast cancer screening RENÉE ANDOR

cer,” was written in a news release from Simon Fraser University (SFU). “Physicians should advise at average-risk women to not routinely examine themselves for the disease.” Michel Joffres, a task force member and SFU health scientist said that the potential harm from screening women in this age group outweighs the benefits. “Regular screening of this group leads to over diagnosis of breast cancer, resulting in unnecessarily heightened patient fear and anxiety,” said Joffres in the news

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A medical task force recommends less breast cancer screening for women in their forties. The Canadian Task Force on Preventative Health Care released a paper earlier this week which advises doctors not to “systematically” check women who are at “average-risk” for breast cancer and between the ages of 40and 49-years-old. The task force “also discourages doctors from routinely physically examining women for breast can-

release. “It also leads to unnecessary biopsies, lumpectomies, mastectomies and other interventions.” However, the task force said the final decision should be left to women themselves. Carrie Davison disagrees with these recommendations. She is a local breast cancer survivor; she was 32 when she was diagnosed with Stage II breast cancer, and had no history of breast cancer in her family. “Obviously I am not a doctor but I have dealt with this disease first hand, and this worries me sick,” said Davison.

“I would have fallen into that ‘average’ category and there is no way that I was ‘average.’” For five years, Davison saw doctors who told her not to worry. She finally pushed them to give her an ultra sound before she was diagnosed with the disease. By then, her tumour had become the size of a golf ball. But, the lump was originally found in a check-

up by her doctor. “She felt the tumour but I still couldn’t at that time,” said Davison. BC Cancer Agency’s Janette Sam said that the current screening policy is still in place in the province and women aged 40-79 years old can book a mammo g raphy directly through the Screening Mammography Program of BC without a doctor’s referral.

Mary Emde (Twizell) Mary Emde (nee Twizell) passed away peacefully in Campbell River only two days short of her 94th birthday. Born in Brighton, England in 1917, to Robert and Jenny Twizell (Saunders), Mary came to Canada two years later when her parents immigrated and settled in northern Saskatchewan. The oldest of five children, she took responsibility at the age of twelve for her brothers James, John, and Howard and her sisters, Gladys and Jean, when their mother passed away in 1929. In 1950, the family moved from Garrick to Campbell River. Her first husband Frank Emde, died in a mining accident in 1953, and her second husband, Howard McAuley, passed away in 1974. Mary is survived by her children: Ron (Helen), Wayne (Joan), Marlene (Norm) and Valerie (Murray); grandchildren Eugene, Melanie, Jason, Curtis, Alison, Kim, Kelly, Brad and Lisa, and great grandchildren Amanda, Raymond, Justin, Chelsea, Stephanie, Drew, Kai, Mara, Joe, Hannah, Kylie, and Hayden. We will long remember mum for many things: her gardening skills, her shelves of home-canned fruits and jams, her homemade bread and buns, her curling stories, her love of crib and puzzles and her always-full jar of peppermints; but most of all we will remember her for her strength, her determination, her selfless generosity and her pride in her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Christmas was always celebrated at mum’s place for our extended family and friends and there was always room for another chair at the table. She was the solid centre the entire family revolved around and she will be missed. The family would like to thank the dedicated staff at New Horizons for their professional and personal care of mum during the three and a half years she was a resident there. Funeral services will be held at Sutton Funeral Home in Campbell River on November 26 at 1:00 pm. A reception will follow.

Marjorie Arlene Wilson

May 13, 1935 – November 12, 2011 On November 12, the world lost a wonderful woman when Marge Wilson peacefully slipped away. Marge will be remembered for her amazing ability to make you laugh and the warm way she touched us all. She was an understanding ear through the bad times and an abundance of fun in the good times. Marjorie was predeceased by the love of her life and second husband Albert Wilson, first husband and father of her children, Raymond Lagos, beloved brother Wally Squires, Gramma, Edith Squires who raised her for part of her life, Mother and Father, Fred and Elsie Squires, and most of her cherished life-long friends. Marge leaves her four children, Teresa Burgoyne, (David Jenkinson), Garry Lagos, (Debbie Lagos), Wayne Lagos, (Jeanette LaCroix) and Linda Gallagher, (Howie Brown), to carry on with the treasured love, grace and laughter she shared liberally throughout the years. Marge’s grand children, Tobin and Amy Burgoyne, Mike and Sarah Lagos, Tyson, Mallorie and Hailey Lagos and Jericho and Jordan Gallagher will all miss their wonderful Gramma Marge, as will her five beautiful Great Grand Children. Marjorie will also be dearly missed by her step children, Alberta, (Dan), Billy, Keith, (Geraldine), Wilson, Karen Thompson, Albert (Tweedy) Jr., (Audrey) Wilson, Linda Cliffe, and all of their children that she knew and loved. The family would like to extend many thanks to the 2nd floor nursing staff at Campbell River General Hospital and Dr. Noel for caring for our beloved Mom. We would also like to sincerely thank the Cape Mudge Band, Quinsam community for being so kind and inclusive to our much loved Mom. A Celebration of Marjorie Wilson’s Life will be held at The Maritime Heritage Centre at 1:00 PM, on Saturday, November 26th, in the Rotary Hall. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to The Canadian Cancer Society.

Heading south to escape COASTAL COMM the rain? P/U AD B/W Make sure you’re protected with our Coastal Freedom Travel Medical Insurance.

Campbell River’s Seventh annual Winterfest Parade will be taking place Sunday, Dec. 4 starting at 11 a.m. The theme for this year’s parade is The Nutcracker. Parade Coordinator, Kealy Donaldson says, “I can’t believe we’re in our seventh year in Campbell River; I know the community now looks forward to this parade and has become a holiday tradition. This parade is organized for the children to enjoy and everyone is welcome to participate or spectate.” T h e Wi n t e r f e s t Parade is a non-profit initiative which Donaldson started as an inspiration for her children and family. Every year the parade

parade marshalling starting at Mariner Square heading up 14th Avenue to Ironwood Street – where the parade will officially begin at 11 a.m. T h e Wi n t e r f e s t Parade features Santa and the Elves, Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer, The Grinch and his dog Max, Frosty the Snowman and other great holiday characters and many communityminded businesses and groups. For the kids, bring your Santa letters along and Canada Post will pick them up during the parade. There is still time to register your community group or business; applications are at www.997theriver.ca or call 250-287-7106 for details. Donaldson asks that all participants bring a non-perishable food bank item as part of their entry.

After the parade, head to Spirit Square for an post-parade celebration from 12 noon till 1 p.m. Also on December 4th, at the Tidemark Theatre, the matinee performance of Nutcracker presented by Intrinsic Peformance Arts Studio, Tidemark Theatre and 99.7 The River. “We’re encouraging everyone to stay downtown for the fun, post parade!” says Donaldson, “there are activities for all ages – the young and old.” Expect partial road closures throughout the parade route area from 11 am till 11:45 am. There is a “No Honk” zone along Ironwood Street for those who don’t care for the loud noises. This year’s Winterfest Parade will feature over 30 entries from community-minded businesses and local organizations.

CITIZENS ON GARBAGE PATROL

“Citizens On Garbage Patrol” need your help identifying areas where garbage has been illegally dumped. If you come across an area you suspect as an illegal dumping site please email a picture, details of the items and location and we will print it. cogp@campbellrivermirror.com

ILLEGAL DUMPING

Proud supporters of the Campbell River Killer Whales Roots and wings

Throwing out old yard waste is a sure ¿re way to spread alien plants in our local forests. The thing about alien plants is that they can take over an area, crowding out the native plants. This may result in also crowding out native insects, birds, mammals and creating an area that is unnatural in every way. For more info on why yard waste should NEVER be dumped in the City of Campbell River drinking watershed and other natural areas (forests, streams, beaches) please call 250-203-2316.

Anyone with information on the person/s who illegally dumped these items can call CRIMESTOPPERS 1-800-222-TIPS or 250-286-5700. Think you won’t get caught? Think again! Go to: www.campbellriverrecycles.ca for locations that will take this kind of garbage!

Atoms’ offence too hot for rivals to handle

KRISTEN DOUGLAS/THE MIRROR

Atom Tyee goalie Sam Ellis was named a game star on Sunday, allowing just one goal in a tilt with Victoria at Rod Brind’Amour Arena.

The weekend brought victory home yet again for the Brown’s Bay Packing Atom A Tyees. The boys played their rivals the Comox Chiefs Friday on home ice, and and after a hard fought battle, defeated the Chiefs 7-3. The Tyees took a two-goal lead after the first period of play and set the pace for the remainder of the game. River Fahey scored the Tyees’ first goal with assists going to Owen Parker and Noah Fladager. Logan Chapdelaine assisted Davis Frank with nine minutes left in the first to give the Tyees a 2-0 lead. In the second period, the

Chiefs notched two goals, but the Tyees answered back with three more of their own. The first Tyee goal was scored by Frank and assisted by Cole Devlin. Grady Robertson scored the team’s fourth goal, with assists going to Brendan Almer and Evan Fox. Defenceman Dakota Sinclair provided Jalen Price with a beautiful pass that gave the Tyees a 5-2 advantage. Fahey and Fladager worked their magic again, just a minute into the third when a pass from Fladager would be just what Fahey needed to bring the score to 6-3. Frank notched get his third hat trick of the

season with the last Tyee goal of the game, once again assisted by Chapdelaine. Game stars go to Goaltender Jayce Haduk and Defenceman Chapdelaine. Sunday’s game against Victoria brought the Tyees another victory with a final score of 3-1. Fahey scored two unassisted goals for the Tyees, while Price got one goal with an assist going to Frank. Goaltender Sam Ellis made a great save off a penalty shot by Victoria in the third period, leading the Tyees to victory. Games stars for Sunday’s game go to Defenceman Kayle Majic and Goaltender Ellis.

Midget Tyees get out of the gate undefeated The Rich’s Auto Collision Midget A Tyees packed a powerful punch, winning their first two league games as well as silver. In its first league game, the Tyees faced off against Juan de Fuca in Grizzly territory but Juan de Fuca was no match with the Tyees slamming the Grizzlies with a 6-1 win. The Tyees then went on to tackle the Victoria Classic Midget Tournament where they battled the Cloverdale Colts in the gold medal game in their respective Flight C Division.

Volleyball team off to Provincials

The Campbell River Christian School girl’s volleyball team is going to the Provincial Championships – but they took the hard route. Last weekend the Single “A” girls team finished third at the Island championships. The team had finished second in its pool and then crossed over to play the third place team (Queen Margaret) from the other pool. Christian School beat Queen Margaret in two straight and then went on to play Duncan Christian in the semi-finals. Christian School lost to Duncan in three games. In the bronze medal game, Christian School beat Lake Cowichan in two, just like at North Islands. For Single “A” girls volleyball, since the Island is so strong, the top two teams make provincials automatically. The third place team goes to a wild card tourney. In the wild card tourney, held on Monday, Christian School went on to victory against Langley Christian and West Point Grey, advancing Campbell River into the Provincial Championships Dec. 1-3 in Prince George.
