City reaches deal with employee union KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) has reached a tentative deal with the City of Campbell River.

Laurence Amy, Vice President of CUPE 401, said union city workers came to an agreement with the city during a meeting Tuesday mediated by Debbie Cameron from the BC Labour Relations Board.

“It still has to be ratified by council and our membership,” Amy said. “We’re (CUPE) going to meet on Nov. 7 to ratify it,

but then it would still have to go before council. It’s still up to the members.”

Amy said the tentative deal was a joint agreement between the two parties hammered out over a 13-hour session. Amy said he couldn’t comment on any details surrounding the agreement until it has been ratified.

CUPE 401 members have been without a contract since 2009 and had voted in favour of strike action nearly two months ago.

CUPE was asking for a wage increase relative to the inflation rate and stable working hours.

Candidates face the Chamber of Commerce ALISTAIR TAYLOR CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

An all-candidates meeting put on by the Campbell River Chamber of Commerce packed the 450-plus seats of the Tidemark Theatre Wednesday.

And there wasn’t much room on the stage either as the 17 candidates vying for six city council seats sat down to face nine questions drafted by chamber of commerce members and staff. The evening was divided into two sections with the councillor candidates going first and then the process was repeated for the four mayoral candidates.

The mayoral candidates also took questions from the floor.

The questions were divided amongst the 17 council candidates because to have them answer them all would have taken too long.

The candidates were given two minutes to respond to the questions. Most of the questions dealt with

business concer ns surrounding taxation, cost efficiency, transparency, economic development and creating a business-friendly environment in the city and a customer friendly environment at City Hall.

To report all of the responses would take up too much space in this newspaper but luckily, the chamber asked the candidates for written responses to the questions as well and those responses will be available on the chamber’s website (www.campbellriverchamber.ca) on Nov. 4.

The council candidates did not get to address all the questions at

If there was a consistent theme in the mayoral debate, it may have been an us-againstthem scenario between the two incumbent city councillors seeking the mayor’s chair and the two outside-of-council

candidates hoping to become mayor. Roy Grant and Ziggy Stewart are the incumbent city councillors and Walter Jakeway and Michel Rabu are the other two candidates.

It was particularly evident on the hospital question when Stewart and Grant assured everyone there was no need for concern that the new hospital project would be downgraded and the level of health services in the community would be less than promised (see stories on page A1 and A6). Jakeway and Rabu expressed suspicion about the Vancouver Island Health Authority’s seeming

Hospital: Candidate expressed suspicions Continued from A1

Roy Grant and Stewart are incumbent city councillors who are seeking the mayor’s chair and were in a debate with out-ofcouncil candidates Walter Jakeway and Michel Rabu.

“I am completely confident (VIHA will fulfill its commitments),” Grant said.

The issue has come up after the Campbell River Chamber of Commerce issued a statement this week expressing concer n about a lack of transparency in the process of developing a new , 90-95-bed hospital and a degree of uncertainty that promised commitments will not be fulfilled (see related story on Page A6). The issue was put to the mayoral candidates at an all-candidates meeting put on by the Chamber of Commerce at the Tidemark Theatre Wednesday. One of nine questions the candidates were asked by the chamber was about what they would do to ensure that the hospital project would go through with the level of services that

were originally promised.

Jakeway in particular was wary of VIHA’s silence on the matter and does not trust the health authority.

“I am suspicious of what VIHA is up to,” Jakeway said. “We have seen nothing from VIHA. “I am suspicious that there is something going on that we’re not going to be happy with.”

Rabu said the hospital has a major role to play in attracting people to Campbell River.

“I also believe we have an absolute mandate to maintain our level of services,” Rabu said.

Rabu said that consistent communication and lobbying with the province is important to ensure the project goes ahead. Both Stewart and Grant assured the meeting that the

city has a “great” working relationship with VIHA and the Ministry of Health on this issue.

“Over the last two years we have built an incredible relationship with the (hospital) board and VIHA,” Stewart said.

VIHA has said nothing to indicate the hospital project will not go through, Grant said.

“You have to trust them,” he said.

lack of communication and transparency as accused by the Campbell River Chamber of Commerce.

But it also showed up in economic development and budgeting questions as well. Stewart and Grant would defend the actions of the current council while Jakeway and Rabu had the luxury of criticizing the current council without having to defend a record of their own.

“If you want more of what you have, you can

make your decision (on Nov. 19),” Jakeway said.

Rabu hammered the incumbents for being par t of decisions that went against the wishes of people like the Dogwood Lights, the “chaos” of the Highway 19a project and invalidating the chamber of commerce’s survey that expressed concer n about the lack of a business friendly environment in the city.

Rabu veered away from the chamber’s instructions for questions – albeit from the floor, not the candidates themselves – to avoid focusing on personal issues and stick to issues that all candidates can address.

He took a shot at Grant for the controversy the incumbent got himself into with comments he made about the level of salary the mayor’s

position receives.

Grant took the high road in response.

“I don’t have any insults in my repertoire,” he said to some applause from the audience and asserted his experience on council and leadership skills will allow him to obtain the consensus needed to get things done.

Grant also said he “enjoyed being a politician.”

“I’ve got a real thick skin,” he said.

Stewart, meanwhile, is proud of his record and was positive about the future.

“As your mayor, I look forward to building meaningful relationships,” Stewart said.

He also appears to already have meaningful relationships.

“I have a great wife, I have a great life and I have a great business,” he said.

It’s about time to break out the winter coats – and donate gently used ones for local people in need.

White Hat Cleaners owner Rob Harris is just getting started with this year’s 16th annual Coats for Kids campaign.

He is looking for donations of coats, sleeping bags, and blankets from Campbell Riverites.

Items can be dropped off in a tote in his store located at 601 11th Avenue.

The company then dry cleans them and the Salvation Army distributes them, as they have for many years.

Mack said the donations are much needed in the community, and the Salvation Army heavily relies on them.

Councillor defends ‘monster’ JASON JASON PRICE KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A new log peeler operation that has raised the ire of several Duncan Bay Road residents is the beginning of new economic opportunities for the city said Coun. Ziggy Stewart.

“This is the start of forestry jobs and investment to come to Campbell River,” Stewart said at Tuesday’s council meeting.

The log peeler plant is being assembled on an industrial lot at 5301 Duncan Bay Rd. and nearby neighbours are fuming.

Connie Cawley, who lives across the road from the vacant lot, is appalled the city allowed the operation to be located close to so many homes.

“You people have unleashed an uncontrollable monster in our neighbourhood,” Cawley said.

“What the lot has become is a travesty.

You people are willing to destroy our neighbourhood, devalue our property, jeopardize our health for the sake of a dollar.

“Did you take a minute to consider the area and the people who live there?”

The lot was purchased by Northern Pressure Treated Wood Ltd. in late August after its lease on property in Sayward expired.

The company packed up its operation and found a new home in Campbell River.

Stewart acknowledged residents do have some questions that

can’t be answered right away but at the same time, said the operation will be a good thing for Campbell River.

“This company was looking for a place to invest and I had the good fortune to meet with the investors.

They are genuine in terms of their attempts to make the business fit in with that neighbourhood.

“If we had told them to go away it would just be another story to highlight that Campbell River is not business friendly.”

Cawley said her neighbourhood is not the right place for the type of business Stewart is trying to attract.

She says her property will lose its value with such an invasive operation so close to her home.

“The noise from the debarker is insanely loud and it apparently drives animals crazy,” Cawley said. “People in Sayward say the horrific noise can be heard five miles away. We’ll also hear the back-up beepers from the loaders all day long and dust will also be an issue.”

Stewart said the owners plan to build a large berm around the property to alleviate the noise.

“It’s hard to keep everyone happy in a case like this,” Stewart said. “But there will be huge spin-off from this.”

Cawley sees it as one neighbourhood having to suffer at the city’s expense.

“You sold us out and slapped us in the face, we won’t forget there’s an election coming up,” Cawley said. “This is not

the way to bring business and people to town.”

Former Sayward resident, Wanda Williams, also spoke to council on Tuesday and confirmed Cawley’s concerns.

Williams said a lot of people in Sayward were more than pleased to see the operation leave town.

Williams and her husband lived close to the peeler and her husband, who worked nightshifts, had difficulty trying

to sleep during the day because of all the noise.

“We have since moved to Campbell River and we were so glad to say goodbye to that peeler,” Williams said. “The smell was offensive, it was to the point that people couldn’t sit outside when it was operating. I know people who just went crazy.”

She said she also witnessed several people try to leave Sayward to escape the operation but

were unable to sell their homes.

Williams also provided council with an audio recording of the high-pitched squeal the peeler plant emits.

Mayor Charlie Cornfield said he did not have any information on the operation and there was not much council could do at this point in time.

“It’s not something this council cooked up or did, it’s the owner.”

s ’ n o m i S RIVER CITY PLAYERS l i Ne

T h e Va n c o u v e r Island Health Authority (VIHA) says details surrounding a new Campbell River hospital are publicly available but the Chamber of Commerce doesn’t buy it.

Recently the Campbell River and District Chamber of Commerce wrote a letter to VIHA demanding better communications and clarity regarding planning for the new 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.

Va l e r i e Wi l s o n , spokesperson for VIHA, said the health authority received the Chamber’s letter about a week ago.

“We will be responding to the Chamber’s letter in due course,” said Wilson, who added VIHA “won’t be com-

menting in the media before we respond directly to the Chamber.”

The Chamber is upset that details surrounding the square footage, acute care service levels and amenities have not been addressed.

“The result is confusion and grave concern throughout the community,” Evans said.

“Our community is in limbo, unable to move forward because there is such uncertainty swirling around the project. Our communities should be celebrating the benefits of two new hospitals. Instead we have been subjected to a divisive, confrontational and reactive culture of ‘have’ and ‘have not’ barriers to community development and well-being.”

Wilson said the information the Chamber is looking for is available.

“There is extensive information about this project available on our website,” Wilson said.

“The concept paper from January 2010 (which is on our web-

site) contains information about the North Island Hospitals Project, including the size of both the new Campbell River hospital and the new Comox Valley hospital and the slate of services that will be available at each site.

According to the concept paper, the Campbell River hospital will be built on land available at the current hospital location but it does not specify the exact size of the property or the building.

VIHA does say the new hospital will have 90-95 beds, which is 30-35 more beds than the current hospital has. The business case also says “all currently provided services will continue at the new hospital” and additional services will include a North Island Regional Centre for Mental Health and Addictions with beds and ambulatory services. The centre will focus particularly on providing culturally sensitive and appropriate services to Aboriginals.

The Chamber is also looking for a confirmed date from VIHA for a public presentation of the submitted business plan for the new hospital.

Wilson would not give a specific date but said the business case is on time.

“VIHA is on track as per our original schedule to submit the business case to the government this fall,” she said. “Business cases for major capital projects are very detailed and will include indicative designs for both facilities. Such detail helps ensure accurate cost estimation of the project.”

Evans said the Chamber will request a copy of the submitted business plan for review and comment. The cost to build new hospitals in Campbell River and the Comox Valley is estimated at $550 million.

available. Adams has been an advocate for Robron Park for more than three years.

“The completion of the Robron Park Plan with the artificial turf field is a priority for me,” said Adams last week when he announced his intention to run for re-election. “I have been the driving force in getting the plans completed and funding set aside for provincial and federal partners to match resources.”

Adams hopes to again be that driving force and secure an all-

weather field for the park using provincial funds. Premier Christy Clark announced a $30 million fund for local recreation facilities at last month’s UBCM. Recreation centres that promote healthy living are all eligible for the grant.

Municipalities would still have to foot a small portion of the project bill but the province would fund up to 80 per cent of the total cost.

She said priority will be given to small communities that lack the funds to pay for such projects.

Halloween and the Family Pet Contributed by: Dr. Nast, Campbell River Veterinary Hospital As Halloween approaches, both children and adults look forward to the familiar rituals associated with ‘trick or treat', including dressing up and indulging a sweet tooth. However, the very things that make Halloween so much fun for people can represent a health hazard to some pets and cause a lot of stress to others. You can minimize your pet's stress and maximize your whole family's enjoyment of this fun occasion by observing the following guidelines: • Never leave your pet outside unattended: - Dogs that are tied up can't escape if they become frightened by the excitement of the occasion.

- Both dogs and cats may become the targets of mistreatment by pranksters.

Since cats, especially black cats, have a historical association with Halloween rituals, it is a good idea to confine your cat to the house for several days prior to Halloween.

Sadly, many black cats go missing at this time of year.

• Keep your pet away from the front door while you are handing out Halloween treats.

Let your pet relax in his or her own quiet space, whether it is a room with a closed door or the safety of a crate or carrier.

- The increased number of boisterous visitors in strange or weird costumes may alarm your dog, who may conclude that his territory needs to be protected and become unexpectedly aggressive.

- Each time the door is opened there is a chance that your pet may slip outside. Ensure that your pet is wearing an identification tag in case this does happen.

• Make sure that any candles are safely out of harm's way. Both dogs and cats may sniff or paw at unfamiliar objects, which can lead to injuries such as burns.

• Do not place bowls of candy or chocolate within reach of your pet.

If your dog is a ‘scavenger', consider making or purchasing special Halloween treats that are ‘pet friendly'.

• When your children return home with their loot, they should keep both the treats and their wrappers out of reach of your pets. Swallowed foil or other candy wrappers can cause serious health problems. Candy is very unhealthy for a

pet and may cause vomiting or diarrhea.

Chocolate is particularly toxic to pets, especially in large doses.

• If you are accompanying your children on their rounds, leave the family pet at home.

• If you choose to dress your pet in a costume be sure that your pet is clearly at ease with it. If your pet does submit to wearing a costume, avoid anything elastic that may constrict an airway or blood supply or otherwise cause skin irritation.

Remember that your pet does not understand what Halloween is all about. Be sympathetic to any fears and anxieties and offer him or her a quiet place of refuge for the evening.

Don't force your pet to participate in the festivities if there are any signs of distress.

ZIGGY STEWART 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.

up there (in Campbell River) that there’s going to be a lot of moms who would normally have been visited that aren’t going to be seen and could potentially fall through the cracks,” said chair of the Pacific Rim region of the British Columbia Nurses Union (BCNU) Jo Taylor.

The plan, called Nurse-Family Partnership, was announced by the Ministry of Health in June, and will provide intensive visits to ‘at-risk’ mothers – meaning low income first-time mothers under the age of 25 – during their pregnancy, and the visits will continue until the child turns two.

The visits will last about 75 to 90 minutes, and will happen on a weekly basis at first, lessening to monthly at the end.

Taylor is worried mothers who are not deemed ‘at-risk’ will be missed by the system, and she

says there are many of these women in Campbell River.

“We’re on a bit of a baby boom where we’ve got a lot of younger people moving to the Campbell River area who are having babies,” said Taylor.

“It’s going to have a huge impact on women who are over 25, who’ve had multiple children, and then are not going to be the ones that get seen.”

Currently, all mothers have a visit from a public health nurse shortly after their baby is born, regardless of whether it’s their first baby, but when the new program is in effect in early 2012, the non at-risk mothers will only receive a phone call. Taylor said this won’t be enough.

“It’s a lot of visual, so they look at the environment as well,” said Taylor. “There’s all those things when they’re doing an assessment that you can’t see over the phone.

“You’re not going to build that rapport with that mom to be able to feel comfortable to giving information that maybe the nurse will be able to draw out in a face-to-face conversation.”

Current public health nurses will be trained specifically for this program.

However, the BCNU recently learned that the public health nurses chosen for training will not be replaced in the system, and the government will not provide additional funding for the $23 million program.

“According to information provided to nurses by their managers, the government has ordered health authorities to find the money for the “NurseFamily Partnership” from their already tight budgets,” said a news release from the BCNU. According to Taylor, increased workload for nurses not in the program is another

concern in Campbell River.

“The nurses there have been complaining about their workload and their biggest concern is how is this going to affect all of the clients within Campbell River,” said Taylor.

“The workload will impact onto the nurses left behind to run the rest of those programs and ultimately it’ll affect those patients or clients as well in those other programs.”

Public health nurses also hold breast feeding clinics, test for sexually transmitted diseases, treat newly-diagnosed HIV patients, do programs at schools, among other things.

Taylor said the BCNU plans to reach out to communities by asking concerned citizens to write to their local MLAs, the Ministry of Health, and Premier Christy Clark.

She also said the union may hold rallies at some point.

School District wants feedback on reconfiguration RENÉE ANDOR CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

School District 72 is revamping its beliefs on teaching and learning, and looking for input

from the community.

“In our district, no matter which school your child goes to, their education will be grounded on these key beliefs around teaching

and learning,” said assistant superintendent Nevenka Fair at Tuesday’s board of education meeting.

The initiative stems from the

reconfiguration of district schools, which will be effective September 2012.

The new configuration will see kindergarten to

Grade 5 elementary schools, Grade 6-8 middle schools, and Grade 9-12 secondary schools, instead of the current structure of kindergarten to

Grade 6 elementary schools, Grade 7-9 middle schools, and Grade 10-12 secondary schools.

The school district held public meetings and an online forum

for community input before it decided how to reconfigure its schools early this year, and it’s now looking for community feedback on how teachers, parents and students want the schools to look.

“How can we recognize what we’re doing well, recognize areas where improvement is needed, and then work together to be able to move forward,” said Fair.

The district has put together a visioning leadership team made up of a teacher representative from every school in the district, various departments, facilities, the Aboriginal Advisory Committee, District Parent Advisory Committee, and CUPE. The next step is input from the public.

In the coming weeks parents and teachers will be invited to vision sessions, and students will be invited to voice their opinions, possibly in the form of online surveys.

Then focus groups will be developed for more intensive discussions, which Fair said she expects will be ready by the end of November.

The process will be ongoing while reconfiguration is in place as an improvement tool for the district.

Superintendent Tom Longridge stressed change to the school system will be significant, but said at the same time the school district is using the reconfiguration as a chance to reassess how to offer the best possible learning experience to students.

“We’re not addressing this as something that’s a deficit model that needs fixed, it’s an enhancement model that we are examining because we have been given this opportunity through the configuration and reconfiguration process,” said Longridge.

Create a DESIGNER LOOK ON A BUDGET Interior designers have lli together h a kknackk ffor pulling furniture and accessories to create rooms with widespread appeal.

But not every homeowner has the resources to hire a professional to help turn their interior from drab to fab. Fortunately, it doesn’t always take a pro to transform a home’s interior.

The key to creating a beautiful room is planning.

Designers do it and so should you. Measure the dimensions of the room and create a sketch of the area using graph paper or computer software. Be sure to plot any windows or doors on the drawing so that you will be aware of obstacles.

Homeowners unsure of what they want should browse through magazines or pictures on the Web for inspiration. Search for key phrases that describe your design style, such as Tuscan, farmhouse, country, colonial, etc. Then read up on the components of these styles that define it. This will help you select items that fit with the style.

Once a particular style has been chosen, create a design board just like the professionals. Cut out swatches of fabric, select paint swatches, find magazine pictures that fit with your goal and arrange them on a piece of poster board.

See how the items work together.

If you are unsure of colors, see which shades were used in the inspiring picture and determine if it will coordinate with your home.

When designing, identify

or create a focal i iin the h room point and build off of that. This may be a large window, fireplace, or even the entertainment center if it’s a family room. Place furniture around the focal point and then move outward.

It’s also important to keep scale in mind. Large walls or tall ceilings will create plenty of wall space. A small print or wall hanging will be lost in such an area. Be sure to choose furnishings and accessories that fit with the scale of the room. In other words, a huge sectional may overpower a small living room.

When choosing colors, make sure they are cohesive. Research the color wheel that artists use to help with designing the room.

Some colors are complementary or opposites and still work together.

Homeowners nervous about color should choose a color from fabric or furniture and use a few different shades of the same color in the room. Select an accent color that can be used on trim or as a spot of color on a pillow or accessory.

When plotting wall hangings or other decor, odd numbers often look more pleasing to the eye.

Experiment with different sizes of framed artwork or different shaped accessories for visual appeal. For example, a few rectangular shaped items with a circular clock and a conical flower vase can mix it up in the room. This is where looking at

Many stores sell items that mimic the look of higher-priced items. When copying a designer room, select pieces that are similar, but not necessarily the same brands. Consider shopping at second-hand stores or antique shops for discounted pieces. With a little new fabric or stain, many items can look like new again.

Shopping online also may enable shoppers to find items more readily and see how they look in staged rooms.

When designing, it never hurts to think outside of the box. Items that were intended for outside may work well inside as well. Hanging lanterns or plant stands could be put to use in a rustic room. Save some money by making some items yourself. For instance, if you cannot find a particular throw pillow or drapery that fits with your style, go to a fabric store and purchase fabric to make your own.

Decorating doesn’t have to cost a fortune or look like you pieced odd items together. By following the guidelines of a designer room and selecting lowerpriced items that mimic the shape and scale of similar accessories, it’s possible for any homeowner to create a room for less.

SD72 endorses early childcare education in schools RENÉE ANDOR CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

School District 72 will endorse a plan to integrate early childcare into schools.

The plan, called Community Plan for a Public System of Integrated Early Care and Learning, was presented to the board by local early childhood educators (ECE) Rhonda Teramura and Dee McPhee at the school board meeting on Tues., Oct. 4.

“You would be mandated and funded – and this is all new money that we’re asking for, not for you to be using your existing money – to plan, develop and govern the delivery of early care and learning programs for your district,” McPhee said to the board.

Early childhood education would be funded by the Ministry of Education, and would be integrated into schools, rather than remaining separate from the education system.

The plan also proposes adding an ECE in each kindergarten and Grade 1 classroom.

McPhee said currently there is one ECE to eight children in childcare, but it jumps to one teacher to 22 students in kindergarten, which can make a difficult transition for teachers and students.

The two women spoke on behalf of the Coalition of Childcare Advocates of BC (CCCABC) and Early Childcare Educators of BC (ECEBC), and addressed numerous issues facing the childcare system in the province, including high fees, long wait lists, children in unregulated care, and low wages for ECEs making it difficult to retain professionals.

Teramura said people with an infant or toddler can expect to pay about $1,200 per month in childcare expenses, and there’s only space for about 20

per cent of kids in the province in regulated childcare centres.

She also pointed out that 38 per cent of ECEs earn

poverty level wages, and earn about 50 per cent of wages similarly educated professionals earn.

“Currently B.C. has no strategy to

solve this ongoing childcare crisis,” said Teramura.

The board passed a motion to endorse the plan at Tuesday’s school board

meeting.

Board Vice-Chair Michele Babchuk said she believes it’s going to be popular among many districts.

“There is going to be other districts that sign on to this, it’s starting to really grab throughout the BCSTA (British Columbia

School Trustees Association) and rightly so,” said Babchuk.

“I thought this was a fantastic initiative.”

Picnic shelter on the way Ladies Night Ladies Bowl Free for Dick Murphy Park Thursdays » 6pm – Close

CRYSTAL LANES

KRISTEN DOUGLAS

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Council supported in principle a picnic shelter for Dick Murphy Park last week despite objections from Coun.

Andy Adams.

The city’s Senior Advisory Committee wants to build an area where people can gather, eat and take shelter from the elements.

Coun. Roy Grant said Dick Mur phy park is well-used and a sheltered picnic area makes sense.

“Clearly what the seniors are looking for is the same thing families look for – and that’s shelter from the rain, from the sun, a place to have a birthday par ty,” Grant said.

But Coun. Andy Adams was hesitant to lend his support.

“I’m uncomfortable supporting this,” Adams said at last week’s Tuesday council meeting. “Not only because of maintenance costs but I’m not comfortable moving that forward with an election so close.”

He said a few things bothered him about the proposal.

“We spent a lot of dollars tearing down the shelter at Tyee Plaza; that was a real mess,” Adams said.

“Also the vision for the park is an uncluttered landscape, based on a beach theme, and the concept is open, natu-

the construction of a picnic shelter,” Saults said. “There are however, funding opportunities within the community that the committee would like to pursue.

“The Seniors Advisory Committee is prepared to actively pursue funding for the construction of the project – approximately $50,000-$75,000 – however the city would be responsible for the annual maintenance.”

Grant said he was impressed by the committee’s initiative.

“The seniors aren’t e ve n l o o k ing for funding (from the THEY SAID IT: “Shelter city). They’ll look for the from the rain, from the funding,” sun, a place to have a Grant said. birthday party.”

“Wow, this is –Roy Grant the kind of Councillor par tnership I like. These folks are willsaid the committee’s ing to pay to build a original design for city facility. I have no a closed in shelter problem with supporthad “the potential to ing this in principle so attract undesirable the committee can go users” but new plans and pursue funding.”

Council supported drawn out by the committee “to eliminate the picnic shelter in the closing in of the principle with Adams walls is encouraging opposed.

Adams put a motion and should eliminate some of the previous on the table to defer the proposal to the secconcerns.”

The committee also ond council meeting in took into account the December for the new city’s tight financial council to weigh in on. situation and offered Councillors Moglove, to pursue funding for Adams and Stewart the construction of the supported that motion while councillors Menshelter on its own. “ T h e c o m m i t t e e nie, Storry and Grant u n d e r s t a n d s t h a t were opposed. Mayor the city is currently Charlie Cornfield was in a period of fiscal forced to break the tie restraint and is not and, voting in oppoin a position to fund sition, defeated the ral beauty.”

Adams was also concerned a shelter may attract illicit activity.

“When the interpretive centre was built in Willow Point it was intentionally built to have no seating in it, so as not to attract a less desirable clientele,” he said.

Chuck Saults, chair of the Seniors Advisory Commission, said in a letter to council that the committee had already relayed those concerns to Campbell River RCMP and they had been addressed.

A f t e r re c e iv i n g council’s suppor t, the Seniors Advisory Commission’s next steps are to determine design and location for the picnic shelter.

Our View

Inquiry investigates B.C.’s shame It’s a tragic question that bears crucial examination. How did Vancouver police and the RCMP fail to identify Robert Pickton as a suspect in the disappearance and We say: This death of 49 women from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside? can’t reflect An inquiry in Vancouver is well on Lower looking into this very issue all Mainland police this week. This story is Campbell River’s story, of course, because of the disheartening loss of a young person from this community and her stepmother’s brave search for

her stepdaughter in Vancouver’s Skid Row and her dogged – but futile – pursuit of answers from the Vancouver Police.

Lynn Frey even went as far as climbing the fence of the infamous Pickton farm in Port Coquitlam to seek answers. Her own investigation had lead her to the farm where the remains of her stepdaughter Marnie Frey would later be found. Tragically, Lynn was just metres away from her daughter’s remains at the moment in 1998 when a rottweiler scared her off the Pickton property fence.

This gruesome story is British Columbia’s

shame. It appears that the disappearance of these women was not taken seriously by Lower Mainland authorities, likely because they were addicts and prostitutes. The fear is that this is not going to reflect well on police in the Vancouver area. It’s customary to say that at least this inquiry may prevent such things happening in the future, that it may save lives from here on in but the horrendous and tragic loss of so many lives at the hand of one person taints any good the inquiry will accomplish.

Too much has been lost and the way it happened may yet prove to be the greatest shame.

Good point: Outhouses Don’t say outhouses, say tourist attractions. Those new additions in front of the Art Gallery are now the focal point in the cultural center of Campbell River.

To further enhance their appeal there are suggestions of building a “hiding wall” and/or adding art in some way, both band-aid solutions, but who knows? Right now they are ugly and disgusting, opening out onto the street, out of place among the rest of the architecture and against the grain of the intentions of the area which could be to continue with the city’s beautification program and to have some class. Use Willow Point as an example.

A year and a half ago, according to executive director of the Art Gallery, Jeanette Taylor, the building closed its public washrooms due to abuse. Whose decision is it to close to the public, a public washroom in a public building – a public which includes tourists, patrons of the arts, handicapped people, the elderly, VIP’s, as well as, an undesirable, criminal element? Is there no obligation on the part of a public service to provide toilet facilities? All those in need were redirected to the library and/or the Community Centre, also public buildings, the toilets of which remained open to all of the public in spite of occurring abuse.

Isn’t it wrong to redirect those who abuse a building with vandalism and criminal activities to a library where there are children of all ages, and a variety of community members some of whom are elderly and Continued on A19

Candidates show little interest in council meetings

Alistair Taylor Out On A Limb

Well, it’s time to gear up for another civic election. Our candidates are set and now we have until Nov. 19 to be convinced to vote for some of them.

I have to take up a point that Coun. (and mayoral candidate) Ziggy Stewart made to Mirror City Hall reporter Kristen Douglas. We have 15 candidates for city council that are not already on council, two of them are running for mayor.

How many of them were at Tuesday’s city council meeting? How many have ever been to a city council meeting?

I’m sorry but if you’re running for city council, I expect you to show your face at a meeting at least every once in a while, probably every meeting.

I would think that somebody interested in city politics would have been

attending council meetings before they even announced their candidacy. But even if they didn’t, they should be there familiarizing themselves with the issues and the skills needed to be effective at the council table, should they get elected.

Now, I know they could have probably watched it on Shaw. If you get Shaw cable. At least until it was blacked out under election rules once the camapign got underway officially.

I have no way of proving that candidates were following the meetings from the comfort of their favourite T.V. chair.

I’m reluctant to identify who was there Tuesday, because I might miss somebody, but reports are that candidates Jim Bifano, Larry Samson and Sean Smith were there. For the

record, Smith has been to, if not every council meeting, then certainly most of them since declaring his candidacy way back in June. And Darryn Striga has been attending since August but he wasn’t there Tuesday.

So good on those two. A smattering of other candidates have been spotted at a previous council meeting or two but, really, I’d say it’s a pretty shoddy show of interest in the workings of our city from people hoping to get our vote.

Of course, some of the candidates are already heavily involved in city committees – Ron Kerr, for example – so that maybe earns a pass, given their commitment to the community shown by the donation of their time already, election campaign or not.

Meanwhile, the campaign signs

are propagating around the city. The signs are a curious method of campaigning. Presumably, all they serve to accomplish is to remind you that they are running for council because unless they’re an incumbent or you know them personally, the signs don’t tell you much. There might be a slogan or two but other than that they might as well say “Don’t Forget. Joe Smith is running for council.”

If there was more room on the sign, they might say, “You know him. He’s your neighbour three doors down the street. He’s not a bad guy. You don’t know anybody else, so you might as well vote for him.”

I’m kidding, of course. Some candidates are active in the community in various forums and organizaContinued on A19

handicapped. Surely their safety is as important as anyone’s?

And because the Art Gallery closed its indoor facilities, the city then provided them, a year and a half later, with outhouses, albeit with plumbing. This prob-

lem concerned all the businesses and public services in the area.

Did any discussions take place? Who in their right mind would put outhouses on Main Street?

And are these new outbuildings wheelchair accessible?

How do those in charge hope to solve

the problem of crime and vandalism and protect those who now have to use toilet facilities outdoors?

Perhaps the safety of the main street location is some consolation, along with the fact that the doors open out to the traffic and sidewalks.

I am left wondering

which members of the public will be using these facilities, benefiting from this poorly thought-out and executed decision.

In the end, who is responsible?

Thanks to the Mirror for excellent coverage.

tions. It’s a good way to get known but they probably don’t do community service to further they’re political careers. Not at this level.

Whether the work they’ve done helps or not, I can’t say for sure.

I’ve not done any kind of investigation into this but thinking back on it, I’d say it’s gone both ways for people who are active in the community.

Some have won, some have lost.

So, it’s no conclusive advantage. Again, I guess it comes down to

your policies and your abilities.

And what about the elephant in the room?

The perceived dislike of the current council. Is it any worse this time around than previously?

There has been some controversial issues over the last three years. Some people are still hissing mad at the changes made to the traffic lights on Dogwood. (Does anybody really even think about it any more? Are people not used to the changes by now?)

There’s increased tax levels but could anybody have done

anything differently given the loss of Catalyst mill revenue?

A n y w ay, t h e r e ’s been a high level of hostility towards the incumbents. It will be interesting to see voter response.

One thing that’s for certain, however, is anybody who thinks they can come in and do something different is going to learn a big lesson.

They won’t have been the first to say they’re going to make changes and then found out that you still have to work with the system and your fellow councillors in order to get

anything done.

You can’t buck the system that you’re going to need to accomplish things. That’s the way city council works.

You can’t do it yourself.

You have to work with people.

Even a rebel in the mayor’s chair won’t change things. He’s just one vote and then only in the case of a tie.

So, maybe the job for you the voter is to develop a team that can work rather than vote for politically likeminded individuals.

Maybe instead of allcandidate meetings, we should make like

theatre directors and give them some sample agendas and audition them as a cast, a team, and see which group of six works well together.

If somebody does have a different way of doing things that will be successful, they’ll need to convince others to go with it.

But, alas, you have to evaluate them as individuals. So, get to know them over the next few weeks.

Maybe you’ ll see them at a council meeting because you voters should be there too.

At the public hearing, residents along Hilchey and Galerno roads voiced several concerns they had with an apartment building in their neighbourhood.

Robin Cahill is upset several mature trees on the property will likely be torn down. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trees there that are probably 80-years old and for a city saying weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re green,â&#x20AC;? Cahill said at last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public hearing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Putting in an apartment building two doors down from me is not how I planned to send my retirement years.â&#x20AC;?

Other neighbours were upset the apartment complex would create even more traf-

fic on an already busy corridor and accidentprone intersection at Hilchey and Galerno.

Further concer ns included flooding of nearby properties with the loss of the trees, and a change to the feel of the neighbourhood.

Scott McInnis questioned whether there is even a need for such a project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to have the demand to justify it,â&#x20AC;? said McInnis who also spoke at the public hearing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I read the local papers, I see a lot of vacancies.â&#x20AC;?

Council this week disagreed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were comments made (at the public hearing) about the vacancy rate in

Campbell River, which by all accounts, is average,â&#x20AC;? said Coun. Andy Adams, who figures once construction of the John Hart Dam Generating Station gets underway there will be a need for housing to accommodate any out-of-town workers.

Coun. Claire Moglove said she understood some of the concerns but suppor ted the developer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last week when we had the public hearing I listened carefully to what was said and there were concerns raised by members of the public but the vast majority of them will be dealt with at the building permit stage and some were not

well-founded, i.e. the vacancy rate,â&#x20AC;? Moglove said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do believe though that the corner of Hilchey and Galerno is a problem and I would like to have that re-looked at, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certainly not a factor in this re-zoning.â&#x20AC;?

Mayor Charlie Cornfield said he was not sure if people would have the opportunity to get involved at the building permit stage but told city staff neighbours should be included. He also understood the neighboursâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; reaction to rezoning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a change to the neighbourhood and sometimes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard for people to accept the change,â&#x20AC;? Cornfield said.

Mall can store RVs in back, says council KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The back parking lot of Campbell River Common will soon become a stora g e space.

City council gave Allan Edie, owner of the Common and Indoor Storage Solutions, approval to amend his zoning to allow for outdoor stor-

age of boats, RVs, and other vehicles.

A chain link fence has already been put up around the perimeter of the back parking lot in anticipation of the storage facility.

Council gave Edie the go ahead at Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s council meeting despite objections from competitors.

Wa l t e r J a ke w ay, owner of Campbell

River Storage, spoke about his concern for Nunns Creek and the fish that live there at a public hearing last week.

Ted Arbour of Econo Ezy Box Storage wrote a letter to council arguing an outdoor storage facility at a shopping mall would be an eyesore and agreed that the vehicles could pose a risk to the fish in

Coun.

Online forum links community to candidates KEITH BARKER SPECIAL TO THE MIRROR

GoCampbellRiver. com is a new website created by local businesswoman and tourism marketing guru Catherine Temple. Officially launched in June, the new site is an easy-to-use, comprehensive online directory designed to inform both locals and tourists about the wide range of activities, destinations, attractions, real estate, businesses and contractors Campbell River and its surrounding areas have to offer.

According to Temple, the purpose of the site is to offer the community an opportunity to showcase all of the vibrant amenities and facilities we have, both natural and manmade.

“This site is a win for everyone,” says Temple. “For our advertisers, for the community and the people who access the site for information, as well as for contractors, subtrades, businesses and tourism in Campbell River.”

GoCampbellRiver. com is also about the people who make

Campbell River tick.

The site’s latest offering, launched on October 19th: the first online Municipal Council Elections Community Forum.

This forum provides profiles of this year’s mayoral and city council candidates, using information and quotes provided by the candidates themselves, and it provides an opportunity for citizens of Campbell River to ask candidates questions directly - and get answers.

“Our Municipal Elections Community Forum is designed to allow the people of Campbell River to explore the issues of this year’s election,” says Temple. “We are the first community in the province to have this kind of online forum, linking candidates with the community.”

GoCampbellRiver. com’s Municipal Council Elections Forum questions and answers are archived for quick retrieval.

Plus, along with the candidate profiles, there are links to candidate’s websites, blogs and Facebook pages, as well as reference listings for general election information and links

GoCampbellRiver. com was developed over five years, and Temple and her staff have invested over 5,000 hours so far. The site hosts over 1,100 pages of information about

Local businesswoman Catherine Temple connects election candidates to the community.

Campbell River and the surrounding areas - from Horne Lake to the farthest reaches of the North Island, out to the surrounding Discovery Islands, and west to Tahsis. The site also hosts over 3,000 businesses and not-for-profit listings, and includes all levels of schools, churches and community organizations.

“The Web is

about giving out information,” says Temple. “The more you have, the higher your search engine rankings are. We are now coming up on search engines before CanPages and Yellow Pages in many instances. On Monday (October 17) we broke the 500 visitors mark for one day.”

Temple says she encourages citizens and businesses of Campbell River to send in input, including images, anytime. All the images used on the site are supplied by locals, and she adds that GoCampbellRiver. com is not a city initiative, but is privately run solely by her and her staff, and paid for entirely by advertisers.

Text, updates, announcements, comments and photos for the site can be sent to catherine@ gocampbellriver.com “Because we have a team working on the site every day, our information can be kept up to date and as accurate as possible,” says Temple. “We are very excited about GoCampbellRiver.com.

This is an exceptional economic development tool, and it is the first privately run community website of

Temple has been involved in tourism marketing for over 30 years.

She was on the board of directors of Campbell River Tourism for two terms between 1998 and 2002, and is the former owner of Campbell River’s highly successful “Snorkel with the Salmon” tours.

presents the cycle of a year in the forest, echoing Roderick Haig-Brown’s Measure of the Year and Aldo Leopold’s classic A Sand County Almanac. The year begins for Macy with trumpeter swans passing low over his roof.

“They overnight,” he says, “on the big wetlands near the base of the foothills and in the bleak dawn they commute noisily to the beach to forage and gossip, claiming eyebrows of gravel as the tide retreats.”

In December, “The year ends with music and celebration at church and home. With candlelit children cheerfully singing, the smell of greenery in the house and the forest continuing to grow, we are blessed.”

Macy loves the world, has eyes and heart to see it, and writerly skill to evoke it.

As well, the book’s title, The Four Storey Forest, evokes the spiritual tradition of Thomas Merton’s The Seven Storey Mountain and of environmentalist Wendell Berry’s A Timbered Choir: The Sabbath Poems 1979-1997. That book records Berry’s weekly restorative walks in his own forest.

Macy’s multi-layered forest refers to other things as well: the biological layers of the forest; the literary layers of the book including its fictional thread; and its spiritual dimensions moving upward, outward, forward, and inward.

Macy will read from his book at the Campbell River Library on Friday, Nov. 4 at 6:30 pm in an event co-sponsored by the library and its downtown neighbour, Still Water Books and Art. For more information, contact Still Water Books and Art at 250850-3103.

Campbell River Living Photographer inspired to take action A

fter discovering a friend, who suffers from cystic fibrosis, was ailing, Erin Wallis was inspired to help in any way she could.

Wallis, a close family friend of Campbell River raised Kim Wood (Black), decided to combine her love of photography and passion for the cystic fibrosis cause, to host a halloween themed fundraiser after discovering Wood was back in the hospital with complications due to cystic fibrosis.

“Her Facebook status was gloomier than usual, and it really tore my heart out to not be able to do anything for her,” said Wallis.

To help fight cystic fibrosis, Wallis, a professional photographer, will set up a studio at Campbell River Common to pho-

ERIN WALLIS/SPECIAL TO THE MIRROR

Get your little trick-or-treater to pose for a photograph and help the fight against cystic fibrosis this Sunday at Erin Wallis Photography in Campbell River Common.

tograph children in their Halloween costume on Sunday.

Wallis says she can understand what parents of sick children go through after experiencing a scare just after her own daughter Maisie was born in

April, 2010.

While in the emergency department with Maisie, who was having difficulty breathing, she imagined what it would be like for a parent to hear the diagnosis of “cystic fibrosis”

instead of “here is some medication to make her better.”

Throughout her life Wallis has watched the Black family and others work hard to raise funds to help find a cure for cystic fibrosis so people like

Wood could have a longer and better life.

Wallis herself has helped with many of these events and some of her photos are used

by Cystic Fibrosis Canada in brochures and advertising.

Wallis recalls Wood

as a child using a nebulizer, taking lots of pills, having her daily physiotherapy to help clear her lungs and her frequent trips to the hospital.

Wallis was so inspired by Wood’s fighting spirit that she decided to embark on her own fundraiser for the cystic fibrosis cause.

“Sometimes the fight seems overwhelming, like it might be too much – you’ll see Kim’s statuses go to ‘Not particularly excited about my upcoming hospital food hospital bed, PICC line and having my life revolve around an IV medication schedule,’” Wallis said. “And then, she turns a corner and comes out fighting – and they go to ‘Just wanted to say thank you all so very much for all your well

wishes, thoughts, positive healing energy and everything else you’ve all sent me. I feel so loved and cared for and am happy to finally be out of the hospital! ‘ And you just want to stand up and cheer and hug someone. Kim is an inspiration and I love her dearly.”

To help support Wallis’ fundraiser, bring your child in full costume to the mall from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. on Oct.30.

“It is a win win situation,” Wallis said.

“I get to spend a few hours photographing your hilarious small people all dressed up, and you get photos of your little ones dressed up, and Cystic Fibrosis Canada will benefit.

Green facelifts for city parks A grant worth $8,500 will pay to install shade trees at the Robert Ostler Park picnic area, and around Willow Point Park’s newlyinstalled play area.

Another $5,000 grant will contribute to Baikie Island forest restoration near the water’s edge.

“The 2010 National Communities in Bloom judges suggested shade trees around the play area at Willow Point Park, and city staff successfully secured this funding to support a local parks tree program,” says Lynn Wark, City of Campbell River Parks Project Supervisor.

“A variety of showy deciduous trees and a few sequoias will enhance the beauty of Robert Ostler and Willow Point parks and provide benefits such as shade and windbreak,” adds City Parks foreman, Tom Clarke.

Campbell River makes waves in Nanaimo meet The Campbell River Killer Whales travelled to Nanaimo last weekend for their first competition of the year.

In the previous season the club did not compete at this swim meet as the Strathcona pool was closed due to renovations, however the club has grown in numbers and were eager to get a fast start to the season.

The first event was the 4 x 50 free relay and the Killer Whale’s 10 Under girls were determined to win this event. Melayna Beuadin, Jasmine Skuse, Kasey Lathangue and Aleah Joran dominated the race and the Killer Whales won their first gold of the meet.

Next up was the 11 & 12 girls lead by Cassidy Scott, Jenna Beaudin, Kenney Windle and Mackenzie Paddington out touched Parksville for a gold medal that was with in a fraction off a new club record.

“It was great to watch our relay swims as they really help or club to place second at our first meet. Two years ago we were 7th here, so we are off to a great start” said Head Coach Chris Koopmans There were contributions from all team members. Conner Skuse led the team with five gold, three silver medal performance. Karlyn Healy age 16, raced her way to two gold medals , one in the 200 breast and the other the 200 back.

“Conner and Karlyn have shown great progress as they both won gold medals in their weak stroke. But is was the depth of our swim team that was the real story. Our 10 & unders really show a lot of promise for the future of our club,” Koopmans said.

In the 50 meter fly event Jennifer Miller and Cassidy Scott both raced their way to a gold medal. Cassidy Scott also established a new club record in this event for girls 11-12 with a time of 33.42.

Johanna Krejci

On October 18th, Hanna Krejci passed away peacefully in her home, surrounded by loving family. She had suffered complications from a stroke, and made the choice to leave the beautiful life she lived in a painless and clear-minded state.

Hanna was born in Neusiedl, a small village in the Czech Republic. At sixteen she and her family were forced to leave their possessions and home, and moved to Austria, where she met her husband Wilhelm Krejci.

Hanna and Willi immigrated to Canada in 1954 where they embraced their new life, building a successful business and raising four children.

Tragically her oldest son, Edi was killed in a car accident in 1988. Her husband Willi died in 2007. In great sadness she leaves behind her brother Herwig in Austria, daughter Silvia (Del), sons Roy (Brigitte) and Eric (Liz). Grandchildren Tammy, Johanna, Stasia (Yosuke), Catrina, and many others who loved their Oma. Hanna loved boating with her family in Desolation Sound, catching salmon which she smoked at home. We all enjoyed skiing with her on Forbidden Plateau. Gardening, knitting and baking were also passions. In recent years, despite health challenges, Hanna continued to garden, enjoy tai Chi, swimming, exercise programs at the Comox d’Esterre Centre, carrying herself with quiet dignity and independence. What she loved most though was caring for her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, cooking mouth watering dinners and baking apple strudel. Her ability to listen without judgement and offer quiet wisdom was a gift to all of us.

If our family was a garden, Hanna would be the discreet beautiful tree in the middle tying it all together.

At her request there will be no formal service and flowers are gratefully declined. In her memory, donations may be made to the Cancer Society or Stroke Foundation.

For all who wish to attend, an open house commemorative to share memories is planned for November 26th between one and five in the afternoon, phone Silvia at 250 338-1977.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28, 2011 | CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR |

Judo Club in the medals at B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Thirteen members from the Campbell River Judo Club participated in the BC Championships this past weekend in Abbotsford.

The Judo Club had a very strong showing at the tournament; producing nine medals through a day of hard fought matches with age categories ranging from U-13 to Senior men and

women.

Some of the medal winners in the younger age g roups were Thomas Connor for bronze in U-13, Sabastian LaF leur winning 5 of 6 matches for silver in U-15 Juvenile Men -38kg, and Haley Henry for silver in U-15 Juvenile Women 52kg.

Daniel Henry brought home a bronze in U-17 Cadet 73kg with four

well fought matches.

Fo r t h e S e n i o r Women, Leah Tremain fought a much larger opponent and showed great resolve in her matches to bring home a silver in the Senior Women Intermediate.

For the Senior Men, Marc Comeau competed in two divis i o n s a n d we i g h t classes, bringing home a gold in the Senior Men Novice Heavy, and

a silver in the Senior Men Intermediate +100 kg. David Crowhurst also won gold in the Senior Men Intermediate 81kg division by winning all three of his matches, two by throwing his opponent for Ippon and one by collar choke.

Darcy Yule and Chris Peterson competed in the Kata Championships in Abbotsford winning a gold

in Katame no kata on Friday Oct. 21, and then participated in the Sakuma Invitational Judo Shiai and Kata Competition in Burlington Washington on Saturday, Oct. 22 in Katame no kata in which they won gold as well.

Bantam Tyees tested in Kelowna The No. 1 Auto Body Bantam â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Tyees got the test they were looking for at an elite AAA tournament hosted by the Kelowna Rockets over the weekend.

Campbell River came home with a 1-and-3 record and proved they can compete with some of the best teams in the province.

T h e T ye e s wo n their opener, 5-2 over the Langley Eagles, thanks to a key shorthanded marker by Kurtis Scriba and stellar goaltending by Nic Kirchner.

In their second contest the Black and Orange jumped to an early 2-0 lead on goals

by Gavin Rauser and Rio Massee but failed the put the game away and lost 7-3 to the Kamloops Blazers.

Things didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get any easier for the locals as they faced the powerhouse Okanag an Hockey Academy in their final round-robin affair, one of the topranked teams in BC. OHA took control early, scoring five times in the first period enroute to a 9-1 victory.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It might have been a different outcome overall if we had of seized our opportunities in game against Kamloops,â&#x20AC;? said Tyees head coach Peter Martin, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a lead and were the better team heading into the second period but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t capitalize on a five minute power play. That turned the momentum of the game and we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get it back.â&#x20AC;?

A win against Kamloops would have put the Tyees into the playoff round. Instead, they were relegated to

the consolation round where they dominated the Northwest Stamps of Calgary but came out on the short-end of a 7-4 score. Grady McInnes tallied twice, with singles going to Devon Grant and Joe Gage.

Martin says he now has a clear picture of where his team needs to improve. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to manage the puck better, we turned it over too much. And, we definitely need to communicate better. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to let the

puck carrier know what his choices are and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to his teammates. If weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not helping each other weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to make mistakes.â&#x20AC;?

T h e T ye e s a l s o learned over the weekend they have been seeded in Division 1 of the Vancouver Island Bantam League along with Nanaimo, Cowichan Valley, Port Alberni, Juan de Fuca, and the Victoria Racquet Club. The regular season schedule is expected to be released later this week.

Bluebacks show determination in 4-0 victory against Alberni With a blue sky and a slight chill in the air, Campbell Riverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bluebacks Rep soccer team took the field against the Port Alberni Rep team.

It was clear from the first minute that the Bluebacks had showed up to win. And win they did, by a score of 4-0. The Bluebacks moved the ball continu-

With spectacular team work the Bluebacks kept control

of the play maintaining possession in the Alberni end for most of the first half. Precision passing and a bit of fancy footwork led to two goals off of

Drive Smart BC When in Doubt, Back Out

2X14

Twice in the past week Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve watched drivers who were stopped legally in the intersection signaling a left turn back out of the intersection when the trafďŹ c TYEE CHEV light that they were facing turned red. Why would a driver do this? The action is completely out of context and unsafe.

In this situation, surrounding trafďŹ c is not expecting these drivers to suddenly reverse. They will either pull directly up to the stop line or may even attempt to follow the left turn vehicle through on the red. At best there is no room to back into, interfering with cross trafďŹ c and at worst a collision will result.

In British Columbia it is not legal to move backwards over a crosswalk.

This rule almost certainly prohibits backing out of an intersection in urban locations. Remember that a crosswalk does not have to be marked with paint on the roadway to exist.

These drivers had the right of way, once the signal they were facing turned red, to complete their left turn safely.

Cross trafďŹ c cannot legally enter on the green until the left turn vehicle exits the intersection. Backing out of the situation is not the correct choice.

The author is a retired constable with many years of trafďŹ c enforcement experience. To comment or learn more, please visit www.drivesmartbc.ca.
