Last Saturday I was just itching to get out and fish the local lake I call old faithful. Echo Lake is a close drive and is quite enjoyable to spend an afternoon to fish, during the short daylight hours. With the heavy winds and rain on Thursday I am watching the weather more these days. I decided to stay indoors and organize my fly box and reorganize my equipment in the van and get set for another day of fishing. The fishing season is not over. Weather permitting the local lakes are producing fish in the small to average size range, and fishing off the bank is the way to go this time of year. Lots of anglers are fishing from shore using a bottom rig using a slip weight. Look for a creek entering a lake and cast out using this method or throw out a spinner. Campbell River at the moment is very quiet with the fisherman waiting for the upcoming run of winter Steelhead which can happen over the next couple of weeks. I spoke with Monica Best from Salmon Point Resort. This past summer the bulk of people arriving were from all over B.C. and 114 bookings were from the U.S.A. This area supplied me with lots of fly fishing in the salt and is close to the Oyster River. Newcomers to fly fishing can use small streamers and the fun fish to catch are bullheads when you’r you’re not catching salmon oor trout. AAt least you’re getting s some action and not g getting bored. W found a spot that We w loaded with these was l fish. little If your fishing and John from Sayward b boating season is over, both indoor and outdoor storage is available at Indoor Storage Solutions Campbell River. A great gift for the holidays is smoked salmon available at St. Jeans Cannery and Smokehouse in Campbell River. This time of year the prawning season starts and the local tackle shops have all the gear that is needed. My fishing picture of the year is from the Campbell River and John from Sayward has been floating the river and selling used lures and flies at the old logging bridge.
SCOREBOARD: There are more than 9000 fresh water fishing lakes on Vancouver Island.

Some conditions apply. FlexChoice Financing off ered by TD in Quebec is subject to diff erent terms and conditions. All advertised FlexChoice Financing off ers are TD off ers. Delivery and destination fees (up to $1,650) are included. Taxes, licence, insurance, registration, excess mileage, wear and tear charges, any retailer administration fees and other applicable fees and charges are not included. FlexChoice Financing is provided on approved credit through TD Financing Services.

The remaining loan balance will be subject to then-applicable TD Financing Services rates and fees. Retailers may sell for less. See participating retailers for complete details.

particular song called WITS, the 13-year-old has even more reason to hope people keep singing her words — it could help someone deal with bullying. WITS stands for Walk away, Ignore it, Talk it out, Seek help, and it’s a program that supports students in kindergarten to Grade 7 who are dealing

He knew she was a singer-songwriter, and told Cox, who was in the school’s leadership program, that she should write a song about WITS. Cox started working with McGregor to
write the song. “I kind of used my background knowledge of WITS and what was going on and kind of put them together,” she said. Cox, who is now in Grade 8 at Mark R. Isfeld Secondary School, says writing the song gave her another way to deal with the bullying. “Whenever I’m really going through something, I guess songwriting kind of helps, too,” she said. “It’s kind of my way of venting as well.” Cox believes the WITS program works

Putting her music behind WITS code of conduct and WITS, and it really helped.” Cox sings the WITS song at assemblies in local elementary schools. “It’s cute because you’re up there, and they just stare at you,” she said. “I guess they kind of look up to me, and that’s a really cool thing. After the assembly, I’ll be sitting on the side, and they say, ‘Hi Keisja.’ The little ones in kindergarten are really excited, and that’s kind of what I wanted.” Cox, who has also written a song about the Purple Ribbon Campaign urging Comox Valley residents to take a stand against domestic violence, hopes her song will help students when they’re being bullied. “What I want to do is just bring awareness,” she said. “(Students) seem to get really excited about it. WITS is a song that kind of sticks in their brains; the chorus is a pretty simple tune, so maybe when they get in a situation, they will

I want it to help them.” Cox’s mother Terri saw Cox use her WITS and saw how the program helped her and ultimately led her to seek out help. “There’s definitely value in the program,” she said. “I think it’s not so much that there will never, ever be bullies or that bullies will ever go away, but that we need to get to kids at a young age, kindergarten and Grade 1, to use their
WITS. “I’m almost a bit of an advocate for it now because it has shown me there are tools that need to be established at a young age. Because there are always going to be bullies, if we can get it into schools and get educators on board, it’s like anything — you start young, and it builds a foundation.” The WITS programs bring together schools, families and
communities to help elementary school children deal with bullying and peer victimization. The programs are evidence-based and include two components. The WITS Primary Program is for students from kindergarten to Grade 3. WITS provides a common language that children and the adults in their environments can use to talk about and respond to peer victimization. Cox’s WITS song was released on iTunes Nov. 1. To listen to the song — with lyrics — go to www.youtube.com/ watch?v=el AnNTQQm1w. To learn more about WITS, visit www. witsprogram.ca.
