a fast-flowing muddy river. Frey reasoned the farm had to be near the Fraser River, likely in New Westminster, Coquitlam or Surrey. She relayed her suspicions to her foster daughter Joyce Lachance, who lived in Port Coquitlam, “She said ‘I know a guy by the name of Willie. He has pigs and he has a chipper on his farm. I can take you there blindfolded.’”
They drove that night to the Pickton far m, where a sign warned “Pit bull with AIDS” and Lachance was too scared to leave the car. Perched atop the fence, Frey was just a stone’s throw from the remains of her missing daughter – although confirmation wouldn’t come for another five years, when searchers found Marnie’s right jaw bone and four teeth on the farm.
“We were right all along – she was on the farm.” Frey said she told her suspicions to Vancouver Police Dept. Const. Lori Shenher, who gave her “heck” for climbing the fence but promised to investigate. Several more women would die on the farm before the RCMP searched it for illegal guns in February of 2002 and then arrested Pickton for murder. Continued on Page A3

City workers stage information picket while talks continue KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
A hearing to determine essential services in the event CUPE city workers go on strike is complete but the union and the city are no closer to a deal, says CUPE vice-president. The three-day hearing which included CUPE representatives, City of Campbell River managers, and the BC Labour Relations Board, wrapped up Monday. “We met to establish what would be an essential service – for example, RCMP and drinking water,” Laurence Amy, Vice-President of CUPE 401 says. If CUPE does decide
to strike, under the essential services deal, workers would still be required to provide agreed-upon services. RCMP support staff such as prison guards and records clerks would likely still be on the job, Amy says. The Vice Chair of the Labour Board will gather all the information from the hearing and make a final decision on what services CUPE would still be responsible for if the union goes on strike. CUPE workers have been without a contract since 2009 and have met regularly with the city and mediator Debbie Cameron since September. Despite ongoing
talks, Amy says the union and the city are still between $135-and$150,000 apart on a four-year deal. “It hasn’t gotten any closer,” Amy says. CUPE is asking for inflation-type wage increases and stable working hours. Amy says he was surprised to see the city send 20 managers to sit in on last Thursday’s meeting between the two sides. CUPE sent one employee, one national representative and five witnesses who did not attend the entire meeting. “They sat there all day, doing nothing,” says Amy. Mediated talks between the two sides
resumed Tuesday, with no further talks scheduled. Amy hinted last week that if things did not go well at that meeting, CUPE may file for 72-hour strike notice. Union members voted 88.3 per cent in favour of strike action more than one month ago. Meanwhile, more than 80 CUPE workers spent their lunch hour on Monday holding an information line and walking the streets near the Do gwood Operations Centre, holding signs and waving flags to show solidarity. Several passing motorists honk their horns in support of the workers.
Chamber demands clarity from VIHA The Campbell River and District Chamber of Commerce is demanding better communications and c o - o p e r at i o n f ro m the Vancouver Island H e a l t h Au t h o r i t y (VIHA) regarding planning for the new Campbell River hospital. “A lack of transparency and commitment and ineffective communications on behalf of VIHA has led to misunderstandings and has under mined trust,” said Colleen Evans,
Chamber Executive Director. The Chamber has written a letter to VIHA reiterating that the Chamber has consistently informed the health authority of the need for effective and transparent communication to ensure the community is wellinformed on a timely basis of the progress and plans for the new hospital. “For our efforts we have endured lack of clarity from VIHA
while the Comox Valley Regional District Hospital has received clear details of acute care services, size, and number of operation theatres, amenities and facilities for its new facility,” said Gary Thulin, Chamber President. VIHA’s communications imbalance is distressing because the new hospitals were proposed and presented as parallel projects in terms of timing for construc-
tion. However, many of the details lacking in the Campbell River/ Strathcona Regional District Hospital project have already been clarified with respect to the Comox Valley Regional District Hospital project, the Chamber states in its letter. Calls to VIHA were not returned before the Mirror went to press. For updates on this story see www.capbellrivermirror.com and Friday’s Mirror.

CUPE city works walk down Merecroft Street Monday at lunchtime to show solidarity in contract negotiations with the City of Campbell River which have been ongoing since late summer. CUPE garnered lots of support from passing motorists.
Pickton: Harsh words for police Continued from A1 He was found guilty of six counts, including the murder of Marnie Frey, although 20 additional charges never went to trial and Pickton claimed to have killed 49 women. The inquiry is probing why police failed to catch Pickton much sooner and what can be done to prevent similar tragedies happening again. “If a civilian – an old person like me living in Campbell River – can figure out there’s a farm, how come the police can’t figure out there’s a farm?” Frey demanded. A Vancouver Police Union lawyer disputed some of Frey’s claims under cross-examination, saying Shenher has no record that Frey reported visiting the Pickton farm.
The lawyer asked whether she could be mistaken about reporting it to Shenher or perhaps that her trip to the Pickton farm did not happen in 1998. “I think there’s a big cover up here,” Frey responded. “I know what I did. I know I went on the farm.” Frey told the inquiry she believes police failed to take the cases of missing women seriously, adding she felt “lost, empty, like I was garbage” after being turned away by police who suggested Marnie had merely taken a vacation. She also testified authorities improperly cremated her daughter’s remains, leaving her an urn containing “chunks.” Frey was the first of several relatives of murdered women expected to testify this week.

and never had complaints with any of our neighbours,” said McCollough. “I’m sure they’ll be happy when the plant is running, that they’ll see it’s a small operation.” The plant employs four workers and regular hours of operation are 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. five days a week, according to McCollough. Cawley is also upset with the city because she knew nothing about the land being zoned for heavy industrial use in 1998. She simply noticed a sign on the property saying heavy industrial after it was done. “I don’t remember anything going on to that nature (a public hearing), if there was signs posted or things in the paper, I don’t remember seeing anything,” said Cawley. Her neighbour Koreen Matheson has lived in the area since 1988, and says she too remembers nothing about a public hear-
ing. City land use manager Ross Blackwell said a public meeting would have had to be posted in local newspapers letting residents know, but that sometimes people don’t see the postings so don’t know about the public hearings until it’s too late. While he said he sympathizes with the residents in the area, he said there’s nothing the city can do from a regulatory perspective. “At the end of the day, in a case like this one where there’s a per mitted zone in place with a range of permitted uses, provided that the activity is occurring there in a way that doesn’t contravene any of our regulations bylaws, it’s fine with the city, not to say it doesn’t realize that noise for adjacent residents could be a concern for them,” explained Blackwell, who confirmed that heavy industrial zoning has no restrictions on noise.

Clean Catch Basins Prevent Flooding
YOU CAN HELP! In your neighbourhoods this rainy season, please help by cleaning the leaves from catch basin grates close to your home. Heavy seasonal rains bring the threat of Ňooding. As trees shed leaves, some catch basins become blocked. When water cannot enter, Ňooding results. With approximately 3,300 catch basins in Campbell River, some will be plugged by leaves and other debris during each heavy rainfall. Many of the City’s catch basins are connected to drainage systems that discharge to environmentally sensiƟve Įsh bearing streams. Keep oil, paint, and other contaminants away from catch basins to prevent polluƟon and Įsh kills. Damaged catch basins can be reported to the City of Campbell River, Dogwood OperaƟons at 250-2864033. Thanks for your help!

T Thank you Campbell River for doing your part! You have been d sh shaping the direction of water co conservation since 2006. Th Thank you for your comments, questions, concerns and input (pro & con) through: inp s PPublic events & workshops s School workshops s ““Powerfull Water Tours” s Hotline calls s LLetters to newspaper s Watersaving actions
...but the spikes are still there!
You can clearly see the improvement in our water usage between the hottest day in 2009 and the hottest day in 2011. Campbell River came through and stayed within the system’s capacity. Thanks to all citizens for their efforts.
* Water use on the hottest day of the Summer.
Winter demand line shows all indoor use - including toilets and showerheads. Summer demand increases with all outdoor uses, but 80 - 90% of the increase is due to lawn and garden irrigation. Peak periods between 4 to 7 a.m. and 7 to 11 p.m. are primarily due to sprinkler use on lawns and gardens. The sprinkling ban in 2009 reduced summer peak demand from over 1200 litres per second to 400 litres per second. Lawn preparation in spring will reduce the need to over water during hot weather: Aerate, lime and increase shade by planting shrubs and trees. Raise the lawn mower blade to 3 inch, water 1 inch or less per week to encourage deeper, healthier roots. Use timers to move your watering away from peak periods. Naturescape, xeriscape, use microirrigation or drip irrigation.
Water Conservation -
It’s a matter of inches!
3”
Raise the lawn mower blade to 3” (highest notch). Longer grass shades roots and soil, slowing evaporation.
6”
Amend soil to at least 6” to allow for longer roots. Longer grass roots can access water deep down, even if the top inch of soil dries out in a one week period.
1”
Add 1” of water or less per week. A lawn cannot absorb more than it loses through evaporation and transpiration in a week. Water infrequently to promote long roots.

Our View
Occupation awakening The protesters occupying financial districts around the world are expressing a growing frustration that governments and their financial policies are losing touch with the people they’re supposed to serve. Instead, the rich are We say: There getting richer while the rest are being left behind. is a message in The voices of discontent and disafthe protests for fection first gathered and rose up on Wall Street, where they denounced Canada taxpayer-funded bailouts of huge financial institutions that were supposed to correct mistakes they’d made but instead lined executives’
pockets with huge bonuses. The protests have since spread to countries where years of corruption or short-sighted policy have put economies in peril, costing people their livelihoods, darkening the prospects for future generations. It might be easy to dismiss such concerns in Canada, where the economy and unemployment levels have been fairly stable since the last recession. The thousands of protesters who filled Robson Square in Vancouver and Bay Street in Toronto on Saturday petered down to a few hundred on Monday. But our politicians should pay attention. The gulf between the haves and have-nots is growing.
Everywhere. For most working people, wages have stagnated over the past five years while the cost of living continues to soar. In Metro Vancouver, a litre of gas costs 25 cents more than it did in October 2010. That 22 per cent increase eventually trickles into everything we consume. The middle class is the foundation of economic and political stability around the world. While most of that middle class may not be downtown sleeping in tents this week, their own fears and frustrations are being awakened by the occupiers. – Black Press
Good point: Fish farms I think that the published letters from the opponents to salmon farming miss two points, though I share their concerns for the health of the wild fish. The first point is that if we are to be able to feed the burgeoning human population it is essential that we must farm fish as we do cattle, hogs, sheep and chickens. This morning I saw an item in the news that the human population will reach seven billion by the end of this month, and a large part of that population is close to starvation. The second point I see is that the problem is not salmon farming per se, but the open pen system in use, which means that the wild salmon are effectively exposed to all the effluent and pathogens from the farmed fish. With the exception of the huge cattle ranches, our domestic livestock are generally segregated from their wild counterparts. Perhaps the advent of Mad Cow disease in the buffalo herds of the Wood Buffalo National Park might have been due to contact with infected ranch cattle. If that were the case, it would point out the danger of raising farmed livestock, including fish, in the same area as their wild counterparts. I look forward to reading of the success of the closedpen fish farms, and hope that it leads to all farmed fish being raised in isolation from the wild fish. Doug Millar Campbell River
It’s been a long road towards ‘community living’
Tom Fletcher B.C. Views
My first glimpse of B.C.’s care system for developmentally disabled people was as a teen in the early 1970s. My grandfather brought me to his workplace, Tranquille “school.” The Kamloops institution that began life as a tuberculosis sanitorium in 1907 was by then converted to warehouse a different group of society’s outcasts. Tranquille would hit the headlines a decade later, when Human Resources Minister Grace McCarthy announced that she was enacting a plan, years in the making, to close such places. Tranquille, with 323 inmate-patients and 675 staff, would be first. The B.C. Government Employees’ Union began an occupation of Tranquille buildings the next day, expelling managers. The sit-in lasted three
weeks, joined by Tranquille’s 120 psychiatric nurses, before staff agreed to work on the system that would replace it a year later. Some patients did go back to their families, with support services. And today B.C. has a network of 700 group homes, essentially smaller institutions. Their province-wide union contract was just renewed under the B.C. government’s “net zero” wage mandate, with an additional $18 million to enroll employees in dozens of contracted agencies to a pension plan for municipal employees. Lobbying and court action have forced expansion of provincial services to those diagnosed with autism and fetal alcohol conditions. People with Down syndrome and other dis-
abilities now live much longer, to the point where some develop dementia as well. Stephanie Cadieux, the latest minister of what is now called Social Development, has asked for a multiministry examination of the adult care agency, Community Living B.C. As CLBC’s budget rises past $710 million, there are services from the health and children and families ministries going to disabled people as well. The political focus has been on CLBC’s closure of 65 group homes with only 200 residents, and its push for adult adoptions rather than institutions with shift workers. This is true “community living” that should be established where
practical, with appropriate inspections. Cadieux says CLBC’s internal service quality advocate has a high success rate resolving family complaints. A toll-free line has been set up to direct service issues to a new client support group. On Friday Cadieux announced that a bonus program for CLBC management has been terminated. “In a people-first organization like CLBC, an incentive plan based on targets and measures is, quite simply, not appropriate,” said a statement from the ministry. No targets or measures. As Premier Christy Clark was recently reminded on health care, even talk of defined cost control is too politically risky.

Quadra candidate anticipates exchange of ideas Shawn O’Connor is running for Regional Director for Quadra Island. “I am confident that my candidacy will inspire honest, respectful discussion among the incumbent, myself and area residents,” O’Connor said. “Whatever the outcome of the Nov. 19 election, I hope that our community will benefit from the electoral process and ensuing exchange of ideas. “A homeowner on the Island recently discussed with me the challenges associated with long-term politicians. In his mind, the effectiveness of such individuals diminishes over time as their ability to see objectively, narrows. The result is disengaged constituents who become alienated by leadership that no longer represents them, or the majority of residents, on a wide range of very important issues. It is a sen-
timent that has been echoed repeatedly to me over the past few weeks leading up to the submission of nominations for the Regional Director of Electoral Area C of the Strathcona Regional District. It is one of the reasons why I chose to run for office.” O’Connor says his campaign for Regional Director is supported, but certainly not controlled by, local First Nations. “I am very proud of the relationships I have with these communities and the many friends that have pledged support for my campaign. I am however, not a ‘band’ candidate and do not speak for the First Nations I provide services to – this is the responsibility of the elected chief and council. My support extends well beyond the First Nations population to include many Island residents with varying
Regional District ELECTION
2011 interests, backgrounds and perspectives. Like many of you, I too have been frustrated at our current leadership and its failure to focus on those issues that fall within the boundaries of the Regional Director’s office.” As the former General Manager of BC Packers Marine Operations (responsible for Quadra Island/ Johnson Straights), O’Connor has spent many years involved with the local fishing community. “I have the greatest appreciation for the waters and sea life found within the Area C boundaries. Without environmental integ-
rity and the development of an integrated resources management strategy, the beauty and natural habitat of our Islands could be jeopardized and the potential economic benefits lost. “As neighbours we have an obligation to demonstrate respect for one another. It is the very foundation of any good relationship and is one of the many reasons why I am delighted to call Quadra Island home. When I first arrived more than 30 years ago, Quadra Island was a thriving community that offered residents a myriad of opportunities that supported the diversity of lifestyles, economics and recreational activities associated with a multi-generational population. “We have to come together and reevaluate our community goals and objectives to ensure we have a com-
mon vision that will sustain the longevity of our cherished rural lifestyle. “In the coming weeks I hope to have the opportunity to meet you and talk about the lands and waters of Area C and how we can improve local gover nment with a focus on the development of infrastructure and the securing of new funding sources. My goal is to build an effective administration that represents a consensus of our community’s voice from a stand where everyone is heard and respected for their opinions.” Two Town Forums are scheduled: 7 p.m. on Nov. 2 at the Cape Mudge Band Office and Nov. 13 at the Community Centre. I look forward to a vigorous debate of the issues with Mr. Abram and hope that a large number of residents are in attendance at both events.

STEWART for MAYOR 3
Testimonial for Ziggy Stewart
October 22, 2011
I met Ziggy in 2010 through his involvement as Councilor/representative on the Campbell River Future of Forestry Task Force. The Task Force, in conjunction with the City, is endeavoring to return a larger forestry and forest products manufacturing presence back to Campbell River. Ziggy was completely engaged in the process and from the earliest days of my association as the Fibre Supply Consultant to the Task Force. I could see his passion and commitment to making things happen. My view of Ziggy is a born leader who knows how to roll up his sleeves and get things done for the benefit of the community. He is a positive communityfirst type individual and will make an excellent Mayor for your city. It is my pleasure to endorse Ziggy’s candidacy for the upcoming November 19th Campbell River mayoralty election. stewartformayor@shaw.ca 250-287-1995 Murray Hall Fibre Supply Consultant Duncan BC

I meant no denigration towards any sector of our citizenry. I spend a lot of time volunteering in our community: • Fundraising for various organizations • Community garden for the less fortunate • Habitat for Humanity • Homelessness coalition • Mentoring young officials at the arena I wanted the message to be “I am not applying for the job of Mayor for the money but for the chance to lead the growth and direction of our City into the future.” To those I offended, I apologize.

N.B. blues band coming here High energy blues rockers Ross Neilsen and The Sufferin’ Bastards are coming to Campbell River.

They will rock out at the Quinnie at 10 p.m. on Thurs. Nov. 3. The new acoustic CD showcases the band’s searing guitar work, aggressive vocals and a tight rhythm section. Ross Neilsen and The Sufferin’ Bastards are hot off a busy summer tour that included numerous blues festivals, one of which was Montreal’s prestigious Jazz Fest, as well as opening spots for Levon Helm and Jonny Lang at Harvest Jazz and Blues Festival.

Share in a process of self-discovery with Nanaimo poet Kamal Parmar, from 2-3:30 p.m. at the Campbell River library on Sat. Nov. 5. Par mar will read from her recently published book, Fleeting Shadows, as well as from a current manuscript of personal essays bringing past memories of India to
life with lingering nostalgia. Parmar was born in India, and has been passionately writing for the past 16 years. Many of her poems have been published in Canadian literary magazines, and she has written several books. She writes evocatively about her childhood memories of India, as well as her
very different life on the Prairies, where she lived for many years trying to come to terms with the vast and sometimes bleak landscape. Parmar’s poems seem simple to read, yet are rich with images that quickly form pictures in the reader’s mind, many like extended haiku. She will also present
slides from India to help convey the atmosphere of her youth. Join Pramar as she shares her sensitive observations on the natural and personal world. This is a free event, and everyone is welcome. Light refreshments will be served. For more information, call Elizabeth Johnson at 250-287-3655.

Stage veteran directs female Odd Couple
R
ivercity Players is off to a riproaring start with its 2011/2012 season for two reasons: First of all, Ruth Nichol, long time star of the Vancouver stage, is going to direct the first play. Secondly, the play they have chosen, The Female Odd Couple, is a comedy written by Neil Simon, the most commercially successful playwright in theatre history. Nichol was very impressed with the actors who turned out for auditions. “I could have cast the play twice over,” she enthused. “There is so much talent in Campbell River.” Nichol herself received compliments about her own talent from some serious theatre critics: “Ruth Nichol is one of the funniest women on the Canadian stage” said Richard Ouzounian of The Toronto Star. “Ruth Nichol is to be admired for her resourceful, versatile, comic flair” wrote Jamie Portman of the

FULL PROCESS For breaking news, visit: www.CampbellRiverMirror.com Calgary Herald. Nearly everyone remembers the hit TV series The Odd Couple with Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau, about a prissy, neat freak and a sloppy, disorderly, poker playing messer who shared the same apartment. It was based on Simon’s Broadway stage play and it also became a successful film. It was such a success, in fact, that in 1985 Simon revised it and did a female version of it called The
Female Odd Couple. Trivial Pursuit takes the place of poker games, but the questions and answers add hugely to the entertainment. This also was a Broadway success with Sally Struthers and Rita Moreno in the lead roles. Nichol has also done the play on the professional stage. “It is a fantastically funny script and I am looking forward to doing it with such a talented cast,” she
says. Nichol is now semiretired and living in Campbell River. The Odd Couple (Female Version) will run at the Tidemark Theatre Nov. 16-20 with matinees at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 19 and Sunday, Nov. 20. Two for one – In order to encourage more people to become theatre goers, Rivercity Players is offering a special deal for opening night only – buy one ticket and get another one free.

City calls for election workers Election officials are needed to assist with the 2011 municipal election set for Sat., Nov. 19, 2011. “We need officials to assist at each polling station,” says Chief Election Officer, Peter Wipper.

The polls are open from 8 a.m.
Continued from A21 well researched and accountable; therefore, even the most challenging decisions have been rewarding.” Even without adeq u at e g ove r n m e n t funding, successes such as early readingmath intervention, social responsibility,
distance education, strong start, all day kindergarten, a wide range of alternate programs and cutting edge professional development, have and will significantly increase District achievement and graduation rates, Harle says. If re-elected, Harle
says he will actively lobby for an Elementary School Physical Education Coordinator, push for the reintroduction of Elementary Band and Gifted-Talented, and support the expansion of elementary music. As well, he is committed to ensuring that
neighborhood schools, even the smallest ones, remain open. “Having served as a trustee for 12 years, I again look forward to remaining engaged and proactive, and I will continue to fully represent parents, students, teachers and the community at large.”

Peewees clip Eagles The Booster Juice Peewee B Tyees returned to Port Hardy for a rematch with the Tri-Port Eagles over the weekend. The game was very spirited and picked up where the previous weekend’s matchup had ended with very physical play being brought to the Tyees by the hometown Eagles. The Tyees maintained their focus and played very disciplined hockey, sticking to the gameplan laid out by head coach Bob Holt, which kept the team from getting drawn into any penalty trouble early on. Leading the way was goaltender Dominick Bellefleur making several key saves with back up from solid defensive players Steven Sauer,
Troy Macdonald and Brady Kratzmann. This defensive play gave the Tyees the early momentum, resulting in the Tyees dominating the shots on goal and forcing the Eagle’s netminder to come up with a number of big saves. Eventually the Tyees solved the goaltending mystery when Jacob Hartley potted the game’s first goal after stealing the puck off of an Eagle defenceman deep in their end. The Tyees then got another unassisted goal from Daniel Gilson building a 2-0 lead early into the second period. Less than a minute later, Tri-Port stormed back and brought themselves within one. The Tyees responded with quick shifts and some heads up passing opening up the ice for
Ben Wellman to wire one past the Tri-Port netminder from the high slot regaining the two goal lead for the Tyees. The game remained close until the 10 minute mark of the third period when Jacob Hartley scored his second, a shorthanded goal, while the Tyees were killing off an Eagles two-man advantage by taking a beautiful breakout pass from Brayden Davidsen, splitting the Eagles defence and sniping one past the Eagles’ netminder. The Tyees would add one more and come home with a convincing 5-2 win. The Booster Juice Peewee B Tyees begin their regular season play in Division 3 of Island League play set to kick off this weekend.

Driver flees after vehicle accident over embankment A Pontiac van went off a 30 foot embankment near the intersection of Quinsam and Nursery Roads at 11:10 p.m. this past Friday. Police, fire and ambulance responded, and extracted two passengers from the vehicle. They were taken to Campbell River hospital where they were treated for minor injuries. Investigators learned that the driver had fled the scene on foot and are still looking for him. “It’s still outstanding and they know who the driver is,” said RCMP Sgt. Craig Massey. “He’s just, I think, avoiding us at this point.” Massey said it’s unknown whether alcohol was a factor in the accident.
