Mayoral candidate splits hairs with mayor over task force KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER
Mayor Charlie Cornfield says comments Coun. Ziggy Stewart made at an all-candidates meeting last week are inaccurate but Stewart disagrees and refuses to change them. Stewart reported at Tuesday’s council meeting that he had received a letter from Cornfield one day prior, who was upset at comments Stewart made regarding the Future of Forestry Task Force at last Wednesday’s all candidates business forum, hosted by the Chamber of Commerce. Stewart read out the entire letter for all of council to hear. “Ziggy, at the all-candidates meeting you made a statement that you were the founder of the Future of Forestry Task Force. I don’t feel that’s accurate, ” Stewart read. “We all know I appointed you to the task force. The task force has worked well ... but give credit where credit’s due, and I trust you will change your statement at the council meeting tomorrow.” But Stewart, citing Webster’s dictionary, said if you look up the terms ‘found’ – first step of building – and ‘founder’ – one that founds or establishes – then his statement was accurate. “It was certainly your idea to create the task force but if you
take the meaning of the words ‘found’ and ‘founder’, I think you’ll agree I’m the founder of the Future of Forestry Task Force,” Stewart told council. Stewart went on to say that at the current council’s inaugural meeting, Cornfield told council “we will be establishing a task force based on forestry” with a goal of rejuvenating the industry in Campbell River. “I took the ‘we’ statement in your address to mean the entire council,” Stewart said. The framework for the Future of Forestry Task Force was based on meetings between the city, forest industry experts, Rivercorp and the Chamber of Commerce in 2009. Stewart is the council liaison to Continued on A3

New hospital project dominates mayoral race KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
The hospital was a hot button topic for a second consecutive city council candidates forum on Wednesday afternoon. The debate between the four mayoral candidates was hosted by members of the Seniors Centre at Campbell River Common. Seniors submitted written questions for the candidates and had the opportunity to approach the mic and verbally question the candidates. Coun. Roy Grant was the first candidate questioned about the Vancouver Island Health Authority’s (VIHA) plans to build a new Campbell River hospital in front of a packed Seniors Centre that quickly became standing room only. “The project is on track, it is moving forward and going to the Treasury Board,� said Grant, who is also on the Comox Strathcona Re g i o n a l H o s p i t a l Board. “We’ve been assured by the Vancouver Island Health Authority a number of times that the current level of services in the new Campbell River hospital will not be compromised.� Grant also said he expects in the near future an announcement by VIHA that Campbell River will indeed be getting a new, state-of-the-art,
$250 million hospital. Candidate Zigg y Stewart, and fellow councillor, is also confident there will be a new hospital. “We’ve worked for the past six years to get a hospital here – this council, and...the Comox Strathcona Regional District Hospital Board is working really hard to get it here. Believe you me, we’re trying to get it here,� Stewart said firmly. But candidate Michel Rabu has his suspicions. “Are we getting a new hospital? I’ve heard rumours, but no facts and figures,� Rabu said. “If I’m elected mayor, I guarantee I will be in Victoria to talk to the Minister of Health because I have some serious concerns. I believe if we leave it alone, we won’t get it.� Candidates also talked about the need for a new seniors centre. “Council needs to identify and act on the seniors’ needs,� Jakeway said. “You’ve got a great place here, but council needs to work with seniors groups to build a modern seniors centre with activities... shops like woodworking and mechanics, things for men to do, where they can hurt themselves.� Jakeway said an ideal place for a new seniors centre would be the 3.5 acres of waterfront property the city owns downtown that has yet

to be developed. Grant agreed that location would be great for a seniors centre, as well as a new Visitor Info Centre, new Chamber of Commerce and a new library. Rabu said that same property would be an ideal retirement home location while Stewart said he would like to see it turned into a park, with possibly residential units and businesses underneath. S t ew a r t s a i d h e would like to see a more vibrant downtown with housing to get more people into the downtown core. “I want to have restaurants, and a theatre,� Stewart said. “I see a vibrant downtown, but we need to get the people. Businesses can’t survive
without people.� Rabu said he would also like to see more bu s i n e s s c o m e t o Campbell River. “My vision for our great city is quite simple – I want it to be known we’re open for business and that we’re friendly,� Rabu said. “Now, we’ve lost the mill but that’s the past. It may be a blessing – now we have clean air we can sell.� Jakeway agreed that business is one of the most important things for Campbell River to focus on. He said when he first came to the city in 1976, Campbell River was booming. But now the unfortunate reality is that his three children can’t find jobs here and have had to move on.

the task force. The Future of Forestry Task Force last
year recommended the city move to a Wood First policy (which council adopted), where newly built
municipal buildings must use wood as the primary construction material. It has also recently researched
and recommended a community forest for Campbell River, which council is still considering.
“We need to make our town vibrant, we need to turn it around and get our economy going and promote it
to the world,� Jakeway said. “Campbell River can be almost anything to anybody. We have views that are fantastic, we need to open our minds and our hearts to the world and invite them here.� Grant said one of his priorities is economic development and job creation, so that young people g raduating from college find work in Campbell River, instead of leaving for employment. Stewar t said his daughter is attending post-secondary school in Ontario but would like to see her move back to Campbell River. “There needs to be more here in order to get our kids back here,� Stewart said. “From my perspective, to deliver services we need people liv-

It gets back to being open for business, and not growth for the sake of growth but growth that keeps us going and keeps your families here.� Candidates also debated the atmosphere and structure at City Hall; open government; and tourism which will be featured in Wednesday’s Mirror. All council candidates took part in a business forum last week at the Tidemark Theatre and will debate the arts in a forum hosted by River City Players on Monday at 7 p.m. at the River City Players clubhouse (1080 Hemlock).

Oct. 14 and said he just wanted to finish up in court so he could move on. “It’s just been dragging on and on,” said Lepage. “I would’ve like to have this wrapped up quicker so I can get on with my life.” Crown prosecutor John Boccabella listed delays caused by the defense, and defense attorney Doug Marion listed delays caused by the Crown. Some delays were caused by the way the court system functions, like when cases are bumped back due

to more pressing matters such as in custody hearings. In total, Lepage was due to appear in court on these charges 13 or 14 times in over two years, Marion told court. He appeared seven or eight times, as sometimes Marion appeared on his behalf, and on one instance Lepage said he got the date mixed up on his calendar. “We live in an environment where judicial resources are clearly being strained,” Marion told court on Oct. 14. “The system is in risk of losing its credibility to the public. “This case should be stayed; that’s the only
way credibility will be preserved.” Marion then cited numerous cases that were stayed in similar circumstances. Saunderson said he needed some time to think it over, and returned to announce a stay of proceedings on Monday. “I find that the delay has been unreasonable,” said Saunderson, adding that things have changed since Campbell River used to have two Judges presiding at a time, but now has only one. Outside of court Marion said that he has had about 10 stays of proceedings relating to court delays in the last six to eight months.

A sixty-eight-yearold man charged with aggravated assault is dead. The charge against Torben Lange was abated on Monday because he died while out on bail. “ M r. L a n g e h a s passed away and it was not in a suspicious manner,” said RCMP Sgt. Craig Massey. No further details of his death, including the time and date, are being released. Police responded to a report of a domestic assault at 370 Elizabeth Rd at 10:15 p.m. on Wed. Oct. 12. Three people, including Lange were taken to hospital with serious, but non life threatening injuries, described as “puncture wounds” by Massey. Lange had been out on a cash deposit bail of $10,000 since midOctober.

Pressured Mayor stands by decision RENÉE ANDOR
CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
A local taxi company is upset the Mayor is sticking by his decision to support a Comox business’ expansion to Campbell River. “I think it’s total crap but what am I going to do? Got to try to keep them out of here,” said 287 Taxi office manager Deborah Helme, when she first heard the news. Mayor Charlie Cornfield signed a letter of support for Comox based Ambassador Shuttle’s proposed expansion from the Comox Valley to Campbell River back in May. The Passenger Transportation Board approved the expansion at the end of September, which allows the shuttle service to pick up passengers at the Comox Airport and bring them to Campbell River. The applica-
tion also has a “return clause” which states that the same passengers getting dropped off are allowed to be picked up again by the company, if they arrange the retur n ride during the original ride. When 287 Taxi found out the expansion had been approved at the end of September, it also found out about the letter of support signed back in May, and met with Cornfield to urge him to rescind his support in midOctober. Cor nfield said he would think about it, and said this Tuesday afternoon that he would not overturn his support. “It’s not a big deal. There’s no unfair competition here, nobody’s been given rights over and above what would normally be provided,” said Cornfield. “I’m generally supportive
Happy Dirty Thirty Moses
and encouraging of all business opportunities, provided that they work within the regulatory framework.” However, Helme said the return clause is too loose for comfort. “With that retur n cl a u s e t h at g ive s him the open tune to come into my area,” explained Helme. “He can say that can be prearranged but who’s to say? And yes he’s supposed to keep a log of his trips, who’s to say it was booked before or not?” While Helme was initially upset with Corn-
field’s response, she said it won’t deter her from pushing the Passenger Transportation Board to overturn its decision. “We’ll just take it in stride and see what happens, I mean who knows, it may all get ove r t u r n e d , ” s a i d Helme. She has until midNovember to apply the Passenger Transportation Board for a reconsideration of the decision, which she plans to do along with Comox Taxi, who is also against the expansion.

Planning for Life Changes
2X14
Retirement planning – beyond the numbers. Living with purpose during retirement takes more than financial security. Your retirement will be more than just about money, golfing, and walking on the beach – your family, community, health and relationship with work will all play a part. Financial Scott Cessford planning may ensure your financial security in retirement – but living with purpose takes a different kind of planning.
LIFE PLANNING
Connecting with your community. There is a direct link between a person’s social capital – that is, their level of civic participation and sense of cooperation in the community – and their perceptions of health, according to a 2008 Statistics Canada study. The study also showed that individuals who felt more connected to their communities had increased selfesteem and a brighter outlook, positively impacting their physical health, and were taking up healthy habits like exercise and smoking less. If increasing your community involvement is important to you, consider an organization you’d like to support and arrange to meet with a volunteer coordinator. (www.volunteercr.ca) Staying fit. Without the demands of full-time work – many retirees find new time to commit to healthrelated goals. It’s important to stay active in your golden years, not only for the short and long-term physical benefits that exercise provides, but for the social and mental benefits as well. Living with purpose. It’s difficult to plan how many years you will be enjoying your retirement, but many studies are showing that Canadians are living longer than before. So carpe diem. Your retirement is yours, and you have worked a lifetime to earn it.

Controversy surrounds Lot T KRISTEN DOUGLAS
Dave Morris, the city’s general manager of facilities and supplies, said the Tyee Club had been using docks located near Lot T while the property was leased by Ted Leroy Trucking. Sharon Fisher, president of the Tyee Club, said after the lessee went into receivership, the Tyee Club stopped using the wharfs because it needed a Foreshore Lease from the province to be insured.
CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
In an article titled ‘Tyee Club tax exemption ‘distasteful’’ that appeared in Wednesday’s Mirror it may not have been clear how the Tyee Club was awarded the property known as Lot T. Lot T, located at 3000 Spit Rd., at the Tyee Spit, was given to the Tyee Club after it wrote a letter to council outlining its need for the 2011 season.

Fisher said the Tyee Club did get the Foreshore Lease in August 2011 but said “up until then no one was allowed to use the wharf.” According to Morris after receiving the Tyee Club’s letter it awarded Lot T to the Tyee Club on a shortterm lease agreement for $1 per year year, which expires in March 2012. At that time, council also chose to put the Tyee Club on a list of organizations that could receive a permissive tax exemption. “Council decided to give the Tyee Club the lot for lease for the 2011 season at minimal cost, and the best way to arrive at minimal cost was to give a permissive tax exemption and a $1 lease fee,” Morris explained. Fisher said the Tyee Club did not ask for the tax exemption and she didn’t even know it was being suggested.
However, council chose not to award the tax exemption at its regular meeting last week after council received three letters criticizing the move. N a n cy M a r s h a l l was one critic, and said a permissive tax exemption would be “distasteful because I believe the Tyee Club has received more than enough from the city.” Corilair President Mike Farrell, who has property next to Lot T, said he felt there were better uses for Lot T that would benefit the entire community. Farrell himself had expressed interest in Lot T back in the summer of 2010 when city council was looking for a lessee. According to Morris, back then, council put out a Request for Expressions of Interest and received two responses – one from Corilair and one from the Tyee Club. Farrell said his proposal for Lot T “would have generated rev-
enue in the form of leases and taxes for the people of Campbell River, and would have further enhanced Dick Murphy Park.” However, Mor ris said Corilair’s proposal was for a land swap, which would not have generated additional revenue or taxes. According to Morris, after council received the two expressions of interest, it decided to hold off on making a decision on Lot T until it received an updated Tyee Spit Lease Plan, detailing all the properties at the Spit available for lease. It wasn’t until the following year, when the Tyee Club wrote a letter to council looking for help, that Lot T was given to the Tyee Club. “We had a history there, and had been there before so in a way, it was a renewal,” Fisher said. “And we needed a place at the Spit to park our boats.”

Our View
Riot politics clouding policy It has been more than four months since the Stanley Cup riots erupted in downtown Vancouver, an event that not only destroyed vehicles, storefronts and other private property, but We say: Welcome left an entire city’s reputation tarnished. to our new It was, by any measure, the province’s largest single crime tabloid format spree. Because of that, Vancouver’s Mirror population felt violated and demanded justice. A decision was made to pursue those responsible. In the ensuing weeks and months, Vancouver Police Department’s 50-member
Integrated Riot Investigation Team has pored over video, still photos and social media to bring those responsible before the courts. Millions of dollars and countless man hours are being spent, and earlier this week it was announced that 60 people were identified and a total of 163 charges were laid. More are coming. Many of the charges include mischief, jumping on vehicles, break-and-enter, assault, and participating in a riot. Over the last few months the cry for justice has not calmed. Society wants to see those responsible brought before the courts and punished for their actions on the night of June 15, and, over time, we
will get just that. But at what cost? Break and enters happen every day in Vancouver. Indeed, much worse crimes take place like murder, drinking and driving causing death, and robberies with weapons. Should we not be pursuing those criminals with equal persistence? Should society not be outraged by those actions? Those of us who were not part of the riot on June 15 were all victims, but the resources and money spent to pursue these people who, for the most part, committed minor crimes, should be kept in perspective. – Black Press
Good point: Pole story I read with interest your article on the pole stripping development recently started on Duncan Bay Road. There may have been a misprint as to the zoning changes. I believe the original zoning was agricultural light industrial and then changed by the city to heavy industrial agricultural during their rewriting of the by laws some years ago. Your article says it was heavy industrial zoning from the get go. Perhaps this could be cleared up? In the general run of your article however, it appears the assumption by the city’s land use manager (that there were public consultations and advertisements), remains only an assumption: This should be researched. Even if there were advertisements and consultations with user groups at the time of the heavy industrial re-designation, such adds and consultations may well be found insufficient in any judicial review of the project. Decades old notices and offerings of consultation are not enough to go ahead with a project that promises such massive negative environmental, health, and quality of life impacts – not to mention the distress and danger to the residents of the area. Clearly such a sizable project would warrant to any reasonable person a need for further consultation and input from environmental, political, and legal authorities, as well as all those taken for granted tax paying citizens who live along Duncan Bay Road. Further, the statement that the project has only a Continued on A9
Election campaign gets down to the home stretch
Alistair Taylor Out On A Limb
We’re 16 days away from the municipal election day and what have we learned? Well, one thing might be that 17 candidates for Campbell River city council may be too many. It’s good that there’s that many people willing to put their money where their mouth is but, really, how do you get to know each and every candidate in time to cast your vote? It will take a dedicated voter to attend every allcandidate meeting in order to form your own opinion without the media filter. But really, in terms of the candidates getting their message out, it’s going to be really difficult because there’s so many. The media have their coverage of the debates but there is only so much
newspaper space and air time so it has to be condensed, or edited, or left out. At least we have our website where we can compile all our election coverage in a way that allows readers to revisit profiles and coverage. Go to www.campbellrivermirror.com and click on the election tab at the top of the page. We’ll stockpile all our election coverage there. It should make it easy for you to review what’s out there about the various candidates. We will be adding to it as we go along, so keep an eye on it. Also there’s gocampbellriver.com which is hosting an online forum and, of course, there’s the chamber of commerce’s site which has the answers to questions posed to the candidates for the all-candidates
forum last week. The Chamber of Commerce’s allcandidates meeting was well done but they had to limit the council candidates to two minute answers to three of the nine questions. The mayoral race is more manageable and they’re already being focused on in some circumstances like the seniors meeting Wednesday and the arts forum on Monday night. Meanwhile, the hospital is the big hot button issue so far but it’s also the biggest non-issue as well, depending on who you believe. Mayoral candidates Walter Jakeway and Michel Rabu think – like the Chamber of Commerce – that there’s something funny going on. For some reason, silence from
VIHA is being interpreted as an intent to drop the two new hospital plan and return to the one hospital facility originally favoured by VIHA. It’s not being helped that forces in the Comox Valley are advocating a return to the one-facility model – to be placed in the Valley, of course. But mayoral candidates Roy Grant and Ziggy Stewart – both incumbent councillors sitting on the hospital district board – insist there’s no plan to change the course. Mayor Charlie Cornfield has written a letter to the editor as chair of the board saying the same thing (See page A10). But the rumour mill is working and some people are, like Jakeway, suspicious. It could be a big kerfuffle over nothing. Or not.

Duncan Bay Road: Corporate democracy in action? Continued from A8 one thousand square foot building, and thus escapes prudent review by the permit granting authority, is ludicrous and smacks of incompetence, political interference, or corruption. If a building is small, yet the project is massive, covering several acres, requiring huge excavations, berms, sorting areas, heavy trucking, and perhaps toxic treatment facilities located all around the building, a reasonable person would not grant the permit on the grounds of the building size alone. Moreover, an additional or other building could always be added after-
have to be considered to do any justice to the residents, other users, or even the credibility of the land management process at all. Without doubt, there is room here for an application to the courts for an injunction asking for a stop the massive project, until the process of consultation, environmental review and civic approval has been thoroughly reexamined by an unbiased body. Finally, the business friendly argument sounds quite hollow. At what point is a community business friendly and resident unfriendly? And with-

Only a complete idiot or someone gaining a benefit would approve such a project without a wink and a nudge or guidance from their political superiors at city hall. Obviously, the powers that be felt public outcry if there was any, could be ignored: Corporate democracy in action? The small square footage of the building could quite obviously be designed to circumvent review. However auxiliary buildings and pits, berms, or treatment areas would
out residents, what is the point of a community? Residents are the community, and many also own businesses. They spend money in the shops, pay taxes, vote, and participate in elections. Residents again, are the foundation of the community. Business in this case, only wants to use the communities land base to make money. The costs of polluted ground, air, and the inherent danger to residents are freebees if such businesses can get away with it. Naturally, a few locals benefit by digging the place up and building the allegedly
small structure, and they and their families will be in favour of the project. Without doubt the council person making this rather odd and odious business friendly statement/veiled threat to the economy, ought to rethink their words. Additionally one would suspect such statements to be made by one who has some benefit to reap from their utterance. The whole thing smacks of corruption and the so-called corporate democracy that the young and old citizens of this world are now quite sick of. Michael H. Wright Campbell River

Hospital status much subject of discussion In the last few days there have been several reports in the media about the status of the Vancouver Island Health Authority’s (VIHA) plans for the new Campbell River hospital. The media reports appear to be largely based on a letter released by the Campbell River Chamber of Commerce last week that criticizes VIHA for its apparent lack of transparency in the planning of the Campbell River acute care facility. While I am sure that VIHA will respond directly to the Chamber and provide it with further information, I would like to take this opportunity to clear up at least some of the inaccuracies that have been reported about the North Island hos-

pitals project (NIHP). As most residents know, there is one regional hospital board for the North Island. The Comox Stathcona Re g i o n a l H o s p i t a l District (CSRHD), of which I am the chair, has the responsibility for the oversight of the planning and development of two hospitals, one in the Comox Valley and one in Campbell River. We have a web site on the status of the project that has been regularly updated since the original concept brief was tabled and approved in early 2010. The site was updated as recently as August 2011 (http:// www.csrhd.ca/information.html). Information on the NIHP is also available on the VIHA website, http://www. viha.ca/about_viha/ building_for_health/ nihp.htm I would encourage the public to go to these sites for additional infor mation and details on the background and status of the North Island hospitals project. However, I will take this opportunity to briefly outline the current status of the project and hopefully clarify some of the misinformation that is circulating:
■ The project is on track and is moving forward in accordance with the original timelines that were agreed to by the CSRHD. The preparation of the business case is nearing finalization and will shortly be moving to the next step in the province’s approval process, which is to the Treasury Board. ■ I can advise that through our conversations with various MLAs and Ministers that there is strong support at the provincial level for the NIHP. ■ The project is being developed in a phased manner, with the business case coming first. Once the business case is approved the project will proceed to the procurement stage and then construction. ■ In spite of what is being reported in some quarters, I can confirm that there will be no loss of hospital service provided to patients. In fact, this was a condition that was laid out in the concept brief that was endorsed by the CSRHD board. ■ Staf f at both facilities have been consulted during the development of the functional plans for the new hospitals as well on the indicative
(preliminary) designs for both facilities. In closing, I want to assure the public that CSRHD board is on top of this project and has been receiving regular briefings on its progress by VIHA staff as well as from our designated representative who is a member of the hospitals project board team. The hospitals project board includes membership from VIHA, the Ministry of Health, Partnerships BC and the CSRHD. They are tasked with overseeing the development of the business plan. Given the nature of the project, there are sometimes confidential aspects that arise through the project planning process (e.g. proprietary business information) that cannot be shared with the public until decisions are finalized and the project approved. Through the CSRHD’s participation at the project board table and regular debriefs to the board, the interests of our region are being closely monitored to ensure our community interests are being fully represented.

Grape growing conditions are almost textbook perfect: slope, exposure, weather conditions, good air drainage, large day/night temperature swings, gravelly soil with high calcium carbonate content and high pH and the nearby Yakima River to moderate temperature extremes—there could hardly be more positive flavour influences to grapes grown here. The Wine: A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petite Verdot, this wine features great extract, deep colour and intense aromatics of dark berry fruit, cassis, peppery spice, cedar and smoke. The seductive nose of this wine foreshadows magnificent texture and flavour, including dark berries, liquorice, vanilla and warm brown spices that glide across the palate. The texture and mouthful of the wine offers up silky tannins and a velvety smooth structure. The Food: Marinated & Grilled Flank Steak with Blue Café De Paris Butter. Ageing: The complexity and structure of this wine will require three to six months to unwind, and it will continue improving for several years. Due to the ripe tannins it will also benefit from decanting before serving. Sweetness Code: 0 (dry)
February Red » California Petite Sirah/Zinfandel - (Limited Edition 2005)
The Region: Nestled in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, Amador County is sometimes called ‘California’s Piedmont’. With vineyards running from 250 to 2900 feet in elevation, and summer temperatures ranging from 80 to over 100 degrees F, the excellent growing conditions have encouraged diversified plantings. The Wine: Grippingly tannic, bold and deeply coloured Petite Sirah complements the jamminess of Zinfandel, taming the abundant blueberries and blackberries with a hint of dark cherry and vanilla. Full-bodied with a lingering palate and peppery spice, this is a wine of unprecedented power and length. The Food: Apple Cider Brined Thick-Cut BBQ Pork Chops. Ageing: This is a wine that shows best with ageing. After one year the blackberries will come out, and at two years will tame the tannin’s grip, showing the black pepper and rich dark fruits. Sweetness Code: 0 (dry)

March White » German Traminer Spätlese
January White » South African Sauvignon Blanc-Semillon
The Region: Known as ‘Valley of Wine and Roses’, South Africa’s Robertson Valley has a very hot climate with minimal rainfall—less than a foot per year. Luckily the calcareous red clay loam and clay Karoo soils have excellent water holding capacity, and the gentle slopes and varied microclimates allow for precision planting to maximise grape quality. The Wine: Sauvignon Blanc has wild, herbaceous flavours and tart, grapefruit-like character, which shows strongly in the young wine, while Sémillon has flavours of honeydew melon and sweet honey that take a bit longer to come out. Together the two grapes make a lush, balanced wine with great up-front fruit and a satisfying, rich finish. The Food: Pan Roasted Digby Bay Scallop, Jewel Yam Purée, White Truffle Oil & Salsa Verdé. Ageing: The citrus notes of the Sauvignon Blanc make this wine tempting to drink right away and after three months the Sémillon will rise up to give a mellower white wine. It will improve for at least a year, giving deeper flavours of melon and honey as it goes. Sweetness Code: 0 (dry)
April Red » Spanish Matador Trio Red
The Region: From the green damp north to the arid south, Spain is the country with the most land under vine in the world. Mancha is Europe's largest denominated wine region and its hot, dry growing conditions yield intensely flavoured red grapes. The Wine: Tempranillo are deep blue-black berries, high in colour and extract, with delicate aromas. Cabernet Sauvignon's small berries yield high tannins and intense structure, while Monastrell acids grip, earthiness and ripe red fruit. lush, tannic and complex with intense black fruit flavours of black cherry, raspberry, black currant and notes of plums and tobacco, the wine takes gracefully to oak, adding layers of vanilla, cedar and rich coffee nuances. The Food: Mediterranean White Bean Salad, Marinated with Garlic, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Parmigiano-Reggiano & Fine Herbs. Ageing: With soft acidity and lush tannins, this wine is enjoyed after only three to six months, but the black fruits, cherry and plum notes will take six months to show well, and the vanilla/coffee nuances will show best after one year. Sweetness Code: 0 (dry)
The Region: Germany's most famous growing region, the Mosel Valley, with its mineral-laden soils, produces some of the world's finest off-dry wines. The sheer mountains and rugged slopes make the most of the northerm sunshine, but they also mean that vineyard work must be done by hand, and yields are very low. This results in carefully crafted, very intensely flavoured wines. The Wine: Traminer is the parent of the more familiar Gewürztraminer and Spätlese is a German wine term meaning 'late harvest', indicating a wine made from fully mature grapes that are picked at least 7 days after normal harvest, so they are riper and have higher sugar levels. This is a gently golden-coloured wine, unmistakable in its heady, aromatic intensity, with a pungent fragrance of lychee, tropical fruit and rose petals. Its flavours are ample, lusciously fruity and spicy. The food: Peach and Blueberry Cobbler Ageing: The intense fruit character will be apparent immedilately in this rich wine making it a tempting sipper right away, but the deeper floral characters of rose petal and lychee will become much more apparent after six months to a year. Sweetness Code: 1 (off-dry)

It’ll be Odd
Sponsored by Comox Valley Potters Club
There are more than just two odd people in the cast of Rivercity Players’ up-coming production of The Odd Couple (Female Version). For starters, Julie Rigby who plays Olive, the untidy one, in the play, has a very strange, occult relationship with her ’77 VW van, which she blames for her living on Quadra Island. “The first time over, the van decided she really loved Quadra,” Rigby said. “She broke down! The van wanted to stay, and being that Quadra Island is so beautiful, I ended up following the van’s advice and staying!” Gail Tisdale, who plays Florence, the prissy, tidy one, confesses to having spent eleven years in Saudi Arabia. “After so many years of living in a country where theatre with men and women together is strictly
forbidden, I love the freedom of Rivercity Players. Plus the fact that I can drive myself to rehearsals again.” Gail and her partner, Phil, could have been expelled from Saudi Arabia on one occasion. Putting on theatre shows for fellow expatriates was acceptable, but in one particular show Gail was given the part of a prostitute. Actors had to dress for their parts at home because there were no facilities at the performance hall. When she changed in a hurry, after work, and jumped in the back of the car, with Phil driving. On the way there, she realized she had forgotten to put on her abaya (a voluminous, black, head to toe cloak with veil) which, in muslim countries, is required dress for women, instead she was dressed like a European prostitute. If an Arabic person

had seen her, both she and Phil would have been expelled from he country. Fortunately, no one did. A third member of cast, Megan Hurn, also spent time as a nurse in the Middle East. When she first arrived in Saudi Arabia she found it hard to get used to the washroom signs in the hospital that stated ‘Please Do Not Stand On The Seat.’ It took her some time to realize that some patients did not have
these kinds facilities and just did things the way they were used to doing them. “Good actors always have life experiences they can draw upon,” said Ruth Nichol, director of The Odd Couple. “These three ladies have very unusual ones, but everyone in the cast has a library of life experiences which enables them to perform well.” The Odd Couple runs Nov. 16– 20 with a two for one ticket deal on opening night.
Alright Campbell River, we want to know who is our Oddest Couple Send in a picture, video and a write up about who you think is our Oddest Couple. They can be odd for any reason and any kind of couple – friends, partners, spouses, teammates, you name it. You can nominate yourself or have somebody do it on your behalf. You have to tell us why you’re/ they’re such an “odd couple” but remember, it’s all just for fun and for participating, the couple will get their name put in for a
draw for four tickets to Rivercity Players’ opening night of the Neil Simon play, The Odd Couple (Female Version) on Nov. 16 at the Tidemark Theatre. Submission deadline is noon, Monday, Nov. 14.

Nineteen-year-old Justine Collins is putting on a benefit concert with all proceeds going to the Extreme Weather Shelter in Campbell River on Sun. Nov. 13. “I just thought it was such a great place, but really nobody knows about this one, so I thought that it’d be a great opportunity to give back to the community and to raise some awareness about it,” said Collins. The shelter is staffed by the Salvation Army and is low barrier, meaning it doesn’t have as strict of guidelines for use as other shelters, such as the Evergreen Shelter’s stipulation that guests are sober. “It means pretty much anyone can stay there, they don’t necessarily have to be sober,” said Salvation Army community ministries director Kevin Mack. “As long as people are not posing a risk to themselves or others then they won’t be turned away, no one will be turned away.” Located in the Lighthouse Centre, the shelter is opened when

The people who run the shelters “make a real difference day in and day out in terms of the general health and welfare of some of our less fortunate residents.” Collins has been performing since she was four, and has decided to go for a career as a musician. She is working on an album, titled Chasing Cinderella, which she plans to release in April. Tickets for the concert are $10 for students and $12 for adults. They can be picked up at Something Special Gifts, Serious Coffee, and the Java Mon Concession at Timberline and North Island College. Or contact Collins at justine.lcc@ live.com. Collins said there are still many tickets available, and hopes to have a sold out show. “We’re hoping to get a lot more (ticket sales) once the publicity is more out there and people know about it more,” said Collins. “Hopefully it’ll be a good night.”

Bantam B’s polished up The Ironside Contracting Bantam B Tyees finished a recent tournament at .500. The Tyees went 2-2, losing out in the semifinals of a 10-team tier III tournament in Penticton. In the first game the Tyees had a 3-2 loss against the South Okanagan which scored a lone goal in the third with 47 seconds remaining to break a 2-2 tie. The game was highpaced and featured hard hitting with excellent goaltending at both ends. It was a strong game for the Tyees netminder Michael Sampson. Goals were scored by Gage Crawford from Austin Simper and Manson in the first, and Jake Mckenzie from Darian Swift in the second. In the second game the Tyees faced Penticton Jr. V’s and lead the entire game, en route to a 4-1 win. Goals were scored by Swift with two coming from Maddison Devlin, and Jarret Knowles, Crawford with aunassisted deke, and Simper from Tyson Dumont and Matt Barker. In the Tyees third game they faced the Kelowna Jr Rockets. The Tyees

dominated the game and were a much faster team, outshooting Kelowna by a large margin. Goals came from McKenzie, Knowles, Simper, and the first of the season for Tory Smith. The Tyees skated to a 4-1 win. Game four was a semi final against the Castlegar Rebels. Castlegar was a fast-skilled team and former PeeWee provincial champions. The Tyees played a solid first period but the Rebels pulled ahead in the second and finished the game with a 7-0 win. The Tyees played a solid first period, keeping pace with the rebels, who scored once in the first. The Rebels pulled ahead in the second with a four-goal period and went on to win 7-0 with a late couple of goals at the end. All in all it was a great tournament showing overall team improvement for the Ironside Contracting Tyees against tier III teams from across the province.

The Tyees will be in Victoria on Saturday to take on the Racquet Club and on Sunday visit Juan de Fuca to challenge the Grizzlies.

on the clock, Tyee Cole Devlin scored the first goal of the game, with an assist from Jalen Price. The second period turned out to be as action packed, with the Tyees maintaining their intensity throughout. Tyee Davis Frank scored a breakaway goal for the Tyees with
just over six minutes left, and Price scored the game’s third goal with assists by Frank and Devlin. With just over two minutes left in the game, Frank got on the board again with another goal assisted by Price. The Powell River Kings came back just twenty seconds later to score
their only goal of the game, but this did not deter the Tyees. With thirty two seconds to go, Price scored unassisted for the Tyees, and just ten seconds later Frank wowed with his third goal of the game, sealing the fate of the Powell River Kings and bringing the final

‘Wisdom teeth and whether or not they need to be removed is a common question at our ofďŹ ce. If there is not room for wisdom teeth ly suggested that they be removed. If to erupt into the mouth it is commonly left impacted or stuck they can cause decay on the second molar, a cyst can develop around them or they can lead to infection if the gum tissue around them collects food and plaque. If taken out at an early age healing occurs faster and future problems can be avoided. Call our ofďŹ ce for a consultation should you have any questions about wisdom teeth and whether they should be removed.’ Dr. Dennis and his friendly staff would like to welcome all current and new patients to their new location in the Quinsam Professional Centre

Each nomination was judged on a range of criteria, including sales performance, retailing innovation and community involvement. Gary, Glen and Dean Thulin, DealerOwners of Pioneer Home Hardware Building Centre in Campbell River, B.C.
were awarded for Best Building Supply Over 25,000 sq. ft. “We’re very proud that three of our stores have received such high honours from the industry,” said Paul Straus, President and CEO, Home Hardware Stores Limited. “These awards are a testament to the hard work these Dealer-Owners put into their businesses and are proof that Home Hardware offers the best program for independents in the industry, allowing them to provide their customers with quality products and superior service. On
behalf of the DealerOwners of more than 1,080 Home Hardware stores across Canada, I extend congratulations to these Dealers and their Staff.” The awards were presented at an event in Toronto that was attended by hardware and home improvement retailing executives, vendors and Dealers from across Canada.

Today’s Answers
November is here and along with the month of May it shares the distinction of being the most likely month for you to run into wildlife on BC’s roads, literally. 80% of wildlife collisions in this province involve deer and occur between 7:00 pm and 11:00 pm. However, moose, elk, bear and sheep are involved as well. During 2007 almost six thousand animal collisions were noted in the Wildlife Accident Reporting System, which contains data provided by BC’s road maintenance contractors. I suspect that this number is not the entire picture as some animals are able to struggle away from the collision scene and die unnoticed and uncounted. The human cost is high as well. An average of 2 humans die annually and there was an estimated bill of about $24 million last year for collision claims and highway clean up expenses. You may wish to blame the animals, after all they don’t know enough to stay out of the way of traffic. However I do wonder about us when I watched a driver pass an oversized sign with flashing yellow lights warning of deer crossing. He was traveling well over the suggested speed as well as being over the posted speed when he collided with a deer that was walking across the highway. 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

New Teachers Act no help to bargaining process “What we should be concentrating on is the bargaining process and getting bargaining underway and I’m worried that this is a distraction,” said Thompson. Education Minister George Abbott
RENÉE ANDOR CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
The introduction of The Teachers Act could be a distraction, according to Campbell River District Teachers’ Association president Neil Thompson.
announced the new legislation last Wednesday in response to a factfinders report by former education deputy minister Don Avison. The report, called A College Divided, was issued last year and said that the College
of Teachers no longer had the confidence of the education community in B.C. “The goal of this legislation is to raise the stature of the teaching profession and increase public confidence in the pro-

fession’s disciplinary processes,” said Abbott in a news release. “These changes will strengthen the teaching profession, as well as increase accountability and transparency.” While T hompson acknowledges the need for change within the organization, he said the report pointed to BCTF’s involvement as the problem, and he said this is not true. “ We u n d e r s t a n d that there’s needs for changes within the college, that was clear. It wasn’t functioning properly at all but it’s not because of BCTF’s involvement,” said Thompson. “I’m concerned about the perception that it was based on the fact that BCTF was doing something it shouldn’t be. “That was never clarified from the government that that in fact,
was not true.” If passed, the new legislation will replace the college with a council made up of three teachers from BCTF, five teachers elected on a regional basis, and seven members based on nominations from education sector partners like the B.C. School Trustees Association and the B.C. Confederation of Parent Advisory Councils. Currently, the college is made up of 20 members, with 12 members elected from the profession and eight appointed by the provincial government. The new structure would also have a Discipline and Professional Conduct Board to hear complaints made against teachers, which will have nine members total, but only three per hearing and only one of those will be from BCTF,
meaning the BCTF will not have majority vote in these cases. Thompson is said he is not concerned about a loss of power for teachers. “It’s not about power, it’s about protecting our profession and making sure that we are in fact professionals,” said Thompson. However, he did mention he is concerned about fees. According to Thompson, teachers are each paying about $80 per year in fees towards the college and he doesn’t think it’s appropriate for teachers to continue paying the fees if the regulatory body goes back under government control. “I feel that if the government is going to take control of the college then they should be forking the money out to pay for it, not teachers,” said Thompson.

in Vancouver near the hospital due to treatments that will be ongoing for the next several months. Nichole’s father and sister take turns staying
with their daughters at home in Campbell River while she travels back and forth between supporting Darren and caring for her family at home. Darren was an
electrician at Catalyst Mill until it shut down and he found work elsewhere. Steele was an educational assistant in Campbell River schools until Darren’s
diagnosis in July. The Beer and Burger Night will be held Wednesday, Nov. 6 from 4-8 p.m. at the Riptide Pub. Tickets are $15 and are available at the
#1 Fire Hall (675 - 13th Avenue). There will be a 50/50 draw and silent auction as well. For more information, contact Laura at 250-286-6266.
