2011-2012 School year to begin with job action RENÉE ANDOR CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

KRISTEN DOUGLAS/THE MIRROR

Here’s the pitch Reese McDonald, 4, takes a swing at the inflatable baseball machine at White Spot’s kids carnival Saturday.

The event, which includes Bounce-A-Ramas, face painting, a ring toss and kids crafts was a fundraiser for Shawn Hall, the local rider in this year’s Tour de Rock Cops for Cancer.

As the new school year begins, so will job action.

On Tues. Sept. 6 Phase 1 of B.C. Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) job action will start. Teachers will not be performing administrative tasks such as filling out forms, collecting data, meeting with principals or other administrators, supervising playgrounds, or writing report cards.

However, Campbell River District Teachers’ Association president Neil Thompson said the job action will not affect students.

“The goal is not to impact teachers, students, or parents. The goal is to impact the employer,” he explained. “That’s really important that parents understand.”

For example, Thompson said that while formal report cards will not be issued, teachers will keep open lines of communication with students and parents regarding how students are doing.

“They just won’t be meeting with parents when the administration tells them to,” said Thompson.

Also, while teachers won’t be doing “mandated supervision,” like supervising playground activities, Thompson said they

will be spending time with students outside the classroom.

According to a news release from the BCTF, an April 2011 Supreme Court decision ruled that B.C. Liberal laws stripping class-size and composition clauses are unconstitutional, but the provincial government has done nothing to change the situation.

And the contract-stripping legislation enabled the government to cut the equivalent of about $336 million from the education budget in 2011 by removing class size limits and guarantees of services to students with special needs.

Teachers are also asking for a “fair salary,” according to ThompContinued on A2

‘Astonishing’ amount of trash removed from watershed Clean up month nets 2,470 kg. of garbage RENÉE ANDOR CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Campbell River’s watershed is certainly cleaner, but there’s more work to do yet, according to the city’s water operator Brian McLoughlin.

August was watershed clean-up month for the city.

Heavy equipment removed large items of illegally dumped garbage from the watershed area near John Hart Lake throughout the month, and volunteers picked up smaller items on Sat. Aug. 27 during the third annual watershed clean-up day.

This year about 2,470 kilograms were picked up on watershed clean-up day, which is 220 kilograms more than the previous year. But the addition of heavy equipment to remove large items enabled the city to collect a whopping total of about 476,190 kilograms of illegally dumped garbage throughout the month.

“It’s astonishing how much was removed,” said

McLoughlin.

The targeted area was access roads off Highway 28 between the cemetery and John Hart Rd., and although McLoughlin said he can see a big improvement, there is still garbage out there.

“There’s still a lot of work to do along the access roads,” added McLoughlin. “For now, we’ve made a major dent in cleaning up the mess.”

Couches, stereos, tires, mattresses, and construction materials were picked up by hand during the volunteer clean-up day.

And larger items like old appliances and vehicles were removed by the heavy equipment, some of which had been rusting away in the watershed area for about 20 years, according to McLoughlin.

Four vehicles have been removed from the area so far, and McLoughlin has seen another four buried in the sand pit at the end of John Hart Road.

These vehicles have been stripped of identification like serial numbers, and have

been burned before being left in the watershed, so the original owners remain unknown.

McLoughlin said one of the main aims, besides having cleaner water, is to discourage future illegal dumping.

“Just by removing it, we’ve really increased the value of the watershed,” he said.

“Part of what we were trying to achieve was cleaning up all the garbage so it doesn’t look acceptable to dump more.”

The city plans to keep more of a presence out in the watershed area to discourage future dumping as well, according to McLoughlin.

Campbell River water supervisor Jenny Brun agrees, and adds that the city will be putting up blockades on the access roads in the near future to stop people from illegally dumping their garbage.

“We want to get them in as soon as possible now that it’s clean,” explained Brun.

Although negotiations began this past March and the collective agreement expired in June, there has been no progress in bargaining yet, according to the BCTF release.

Above all, Thompson said he wants parents to understand that the actual job of teaching students will not be diminished during this job action phase.

“Teachers are going to be teaching students and working in their classrooms, and doing all the things that are important to kids,” he said.

Holistic approach to health needed RENÉE ANDOR CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Vancouver Island North needs to focus on improving preventable death rates.

This was medical health officer (MHO) for North Vancouver Island, Char maine Enns’ main point after reading through a 2010 health status report for Vancouver Island written by chief MHO for Vancouver Island H e a l t h Au t h o r i t y (VIHA) Dr. Richard Stanwick.

Stanwick noted that in the VIHA area premature deaths are higher than in the rest of B.C., but Enns explained that they’re even higher here.

“That’s probably even more true for the Central and North Island,” said Enns. “The whole

North Island, we have higher rates of death that are due to injuries that are preventable.”

Enns cited examples of preventable deaths such as driving conditions with many winding and often gravel roads, and drug and alcohol use before getting behind the wheel, as well as higher than normal rates of tobacco use.

“We also have a higher rate of tobacco related malignancies,” said Enns. “We do have some ground to make up in terms of tobacco use rates in the North Island.”

Substance abuse, mental health issues, chronic disease, and domestic violence are often coping mechanisms for underlying problems with quality of life, which can be

associated with a lack of economic stability, according to Enns.

“If there’s no jobs, people have to eat somehow, so they either leave or cope,” said Enns. “There has to be a pressure valve somewhere in our lives, and that can often be in our physical health.”

Over the last five years, Campbell River’s population has grown by 1.2 per cent compared to the provincial growth rate of 1.4 per cent, according to the report. And the North Island’s growth rate has been -1.1 per cent.

A component of the report that is reflected on south Vancouver Island, but not in

Campbell River and the North Island is that of seniors; Stanwick notes a higher than average senior population will create pressure on the health care system in coming years. However, Enns said that’s not the case in the North Island.

“The senior population in Campbell River is really consistent with the rest of the province,” explained Enns.

In fact, 14.7 per cent of Campbell River’s population is over 65 years of age, while the majority of the South Island ranges from 17.3 per cent up to 29.9 per cent, according to the report.

But, “that certainly

doesn’t mean that the city shouldn’t be prepared,” she added.

Enns points to a lack of close by cancer care as well as other care associated with old age as a factor for less seniors living in the north.

Overall, Enns suggested a more holistic approach in keeping people in this region healthy.

“We have to work collaboratively with other health areas,” said Enns.

“No one organization or no one program has the solution,” she said adding that even city officials need to get involved to ensure programs to keep people healthy are in place.

ber of Shoreline Musical Theater Society and have in the past been involved in several theater productions as a cast member.”

Having lived and worked in Campbell River for the past 29 years, Bifano is optimistic about the future, and confident that this community has the ability to thrive with strong leadership.

Bifano moved to Campbell River in 1982 after graduating from forestry school, and has been employed in both the private and public sectors within the forest industry.

In 1998 he decided to change careers and studied conflict resolution and negotiation at the Justice Institute of BC.

For the past 13 years Bifano has run a business in the imaging supplies industry.

“In my own career life I have had to adapt and reinvent myself,” Bifano says.

“The City of Campbell River i s g o i n g Jim Bifano through the same process; things are not the same as before. I will not dispute the services that the city provides; I think we have to look for efficiencies in the method and cost of service delivery so we can continue to have the level of services that we have enjoyed to the

present.”

Over the past several years as a citizen of Campbell River, Jim has noticed negativity and cynicism directed at City Hall and specifically the current administration.

“We all know the ‘in your face’ issues…the ones that get people going: Highway 19A, the cruise ship terminal, the timing of Doug Raines’ dismissal,” Bifano says. “I see communication as an underlying issue, and something that needs to change. I feel I’m the person to effect this change.”

“After years of living with the spectre of Elk Falls Mill clos-

ing, Campbell River now has the opportunity to move forward and diversify, whether it be attracting retirees, light and medium industry, or encouraging small business. We have the mechanism in place for facilitating this, it is called RiverCorp, and it has consistently underperformed. I am optimistic about the leadership of its newly appointed CEO, but clear performance benchmarks are necessary and should be reviewed on a quarterly basis.

Slew of reports swamps councillors Candidate: Need focus ALISTAIR TAYLOR CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

As the school year gets set to ring the bell on the first week of classes, city councillors realize they have a lot of homework to do this fall and Tuesday they were scrambling to find time to get it all done.

Council has nine plans, studies and assessments on its plate to be dealt with and city staff were looking for a schedule for implementing them. The time crunch has been brought about by the need to implement the Sustainable Official Community Plan, more specifically to give councillors time to review public input into the various plans associated reports as well as allow enough public input into the

plan itself. “I think we should go one step at a time because there are so many plans,� Coun.

Claire Moglove said.

On deck to be discussed by council and pending completion this fall or in early 2012 are: â– the Sustainable Official Community Plan â– Agriculture Plan â– Master Transportation Plan â– Transit Plan â– Community Energy and Emissions Plan â– Integrated Community Sustainability Plan â– Governance and Planning Partnership

Strategy ■Market Assessment (Land Use Study) n Marine Foreshore Habitat Assessment and Restoration Plan Coun. Ziggy Stewart said council can rush through the plans and get them all done, or take them at a slower pace and those that aren’t finished by the time the November municipal election comes along will have to be dealt with by the next council. “These are important decisions that will have a lot of impact,� Stewart said. “If we can’t get it all done, the next council will be here to continue.

“We’ve done this before where we’ve done too much in a short time. Things get missed when you rush into things.�

Councillors lamented the amount of regular work they had to juggle with meetings, committees and their day jobs. Some councillors also have additional regional district responsibilities.

Councillors agreed they needed enough time to read and discuss the reports and the public input. They requested that a spread sheet be developed of all the pending reports and let councillors priorize them.

Continued from A10 either by indecisiveness or lack of cohesion. The abandoned buildings at St. Ann’s and Alder or the three acre waterfront site come to mind as particular examples.�

Campbell River City Council needs to have focus and cohesiveness to give clear direction to City Staff so that initiatives can move forward, this has not been happening, Bifano says. The city’s crime reduction initiative has stalled, the plan for downtown development has stalled, and through bureaucratic bungling we have missed out on tax revenue from

Wal-Mart.

Give Rivercorp and city staff clear direction and clear performance goals then get out of the way, and let the people who are trained to do their jobs be accountable to produce the desired results.�

Bifano believes in accountability, fiscal responsibility, and unified priorities; and offers his experience in Forestry having dealt with all levels of Government and First Nations on land use issues, his experience in running a business in Campbell River, and his attachment to the people and future of the community.

Our View

Health worries a top concern In many ways it seems like a no-brainer – as economic tides turn, so does the overall health of the general public.

When an individual’s financial situation worsens, there’s a far greater We say: Public chance that person’s physical wellbeing will also take a beating. health decline Dr. Richard Stanwick, the Vancoutied to recent ver Island Health Authority’s chief recession medical health officer, highlights his concerns over declining public health tied to the recent recession in his latest annual report.

With money tight, people are under more stress and are less likely to eat a healthy, balanced diet. Making healthy food choices might be simply beyond their means.

Ironically, one of the possible results of poor nutrition is a condition more commonly associated with affluence – obesity.

While wealth can contribute to growing waistlines (think aging baby boomers who grew up in a time of greater abundance), regardless of the root cause, the net impact is a greater chance of chronic diseases such as diabetes, and more pressure on our already overburdened health-care system.

There’s no question the overall health of our population has also taken a hit with the downturn in the economy and more and more people struggling to make ends meet.

In fact, the strength of the economy – often a factor over which we have little control – is tied to far more aspects of our lives that just the bottom line in our bank account.

The warning in Stanwick’s report is yet another reminder that every choice we make requires careful consideration, as everything we do likely has an effect on our long-term physical well-being.

Good point: Halibut Last week’s announcement of a shutdown of recreational fishing is terrible news for coastal communities.

Our company operates a number of businesses on the coast of British Columbia, including sports fishing resorts and marinas. Several of these businesses will be severely impacted by this closure. Our employees will soon be dealing with guests that are unable to fulfill their plans to fish halibut, guests that in many cases travelled from great distances, at great expense, to have that experience. We’re also dealing with cancellations. We’ll no doubt be cutting back staffing levels accordingly, resulting in a ripple effect of lost economic activity for these communities where our employees live, work and spend money.

In difficult economic times, the results of DFO’s policy are completely contradictory to the Government of Canada’s attempts to provide economic stimulus!

It’s quite simple. The recreational sector, based on its contribution to the economy of Canada, needs more than 12 per cent of the allowable catch. We are by no means advocating higher catch limits than what is prescribed at the beginning of each fishing season for halibut. We just need a bigger slice of the pie to stay in business.

Our friends in the commercial sector will also argue Continued on A9

Community Living in BC: A far cry from ‘Families First’ Our society and social attitudes toward people with disabilities have, thankfully, evolved significantly over the past several decades.

Institutionalization is a thing of the past, and much of the stigma associated with physical and cognitive disabilities has dissipated thanks to integrated education and community inclusion, most people know someone with a developmental disability—a neighbour, class-mate, co-worker, or someone who shares the same interests.

Today, people with developmental disabilities make important contributions to the fabric of our society, and participate in all aspects of community life.

The B.C. gover nment was munity life.

Depending on the nature of among the first in the world to close large institutions for people their disability, some people with developmental disabilities. require 24/7 assistance from And, in collaboration with fami- trained caregivers to help with lies, non-profits, private caregiv- single or complex needs associated with physical ers, unions, and other mobility, communicaorganizations, services Guest Column tion skills, intellectual were developed to supAlanna Hendren processing, impulse port individuals in their homes, schools, workplaces, and control, mental health, or risk communities. B.C. was heralded management safeguards.

These folks typically live in as a world leader.

Unfortunately, today’s policy group homes, attend day promakers – often prioritizing the grams, or receive in-home and public purse over public welfare – community inclusion support have lost touch with the fact that where they have the opportumost people with developmental nity to develop skills and lifelong disabilities depend upon varying friendships.

But these services and supports levels of services and supports in order to participate fully in com- are now under threat by provin-

cial budget cuts. Government spending in the community living sector decreased from 2.21 per cent of BC’s total annual expenditures in 2001-2002 to 1.53 per cent in 2011-2012, while the overall population increased by 13.6 per cent and inflation grew at a rate of 20.4 per cent.

Last year alone, Community Living BC (CLBC), the Crown agency that allocates provincial government funding to the sector, slashed funding by $22 million, claiming that “cost recoveries” through this “service redesign” process would be re-allocated to address new service requirements.

At the same time, CLBC spokespersons claim that the agency

does not maintain records associated with waiting lists; rather, they track “outstanding service requests” which, they claim, is not public information.

Fiscal responsibility is a laudable goal, but recent cuts have caused people with developmental disabilities to lose their homes, friends, support staff, and security. Forty group homes in the province were closed down in 2010-2011.

Residents have been placed in less costly unlicensed home sharing settings—where an adult with a developmental disability is housed with his/her support provider—in many cases, against their wishes and the wishes of Continued on A9

Halibut: DFO biased towards big business Continued from A8 their families.

And while the number of spaces in staffed residential settings declines due to group home closures, the number of eligible adults who urgently require support continues to grow.

As families try to cope with these changes, many are struggling to provide adequate care for their adult children with severe challenges, on their own, with fewer supports and services. And, as both caregivers and their adult children with disabilities age,

the situation will inevitably worsen while families face declining financial and physical resources as well as an uncertain future.

The current crisis in B.C.’s community living sector has been caused by a systems “redesign” process that was misrepresented to families and advocates as a way to provide improved individualized service.

Instead, drastic funding cuts have imposed unrealistic expectations on families, agencies, communities and suppor t providers.

Human tragedies have

already resulted, with more hardships to follow unless this “redesign” is halted and formally reviewed.

Families, self-advocates, service providers, academics, professionals, caregivers, and community organizations have called on the BC government to increase funding; create an independent oversight mechanism and investigation process; provide a range of service and support options, including group homes, to meet existing and evolving needs of individuals; and develop and imple-

ment a provincial framework for home sharing, covering matters such as service standards, health and safety, respite, training, and oversight.

The BC-Community Living Action Group (BC-CLAG: www.CommunityLivingAction. org) urges the Premier of British Columbia to ensure that people with disabilities are not overlooked in her “Families First” agenda.

Our group’s invitations to collaborate have been largely ignored. The time has come for government

to more fully accept their responsibility to support our most vulnerable citizens, their families, and the support providers who work every day to maximize their potential. Too many lives are at stake for any of us to delay any longer.

We wholeheartedly agree.

Unfortunately, what has occurred by the protection of this halibut quota is that the quota holders are literally making hundreds

of thousands of dollars selling their quota (which was acquired for free) every year.

Less than one third of these quota holders actually fish.

As for DFO’s “Experimental Fishery”, which is essentially the recreational sector paying big business and quota traders for a right to catch some of their “gifted” halibut quota? Surely DFO can’t be serious?

Not only did he graduate but in the process he finetuned his speaking skills. Today, he is on his way to becoming a professional speaker and musician.

Like many of us, speaker Isabelle Southcott was frustrated by the way former employers did things. That frustration was enough to set the wheels in motion to create her business, Powell River L iv i n g M a g a z i n e, six years ago.

Being there when families need help RENÉE ANDOR CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

K

ent Roduck helps families make difficult decisions.

He owns Island Funeral Services, Elk Falls Cremation and Reception Centre with his wife Rosemarie Roduck, and said the most important part of being a funeral director is enjoying helping people during a hard time.

“The aptitude to do this kind of work is really the ability to appreciate doing things for people,” said Kent. “Being able to sit down with people at what is probably the most difficult time in their lives, in a place they don’t want to be, to do something they don’t want to do, that’s a challenge in itself.”

The Roducks started Comox Valley Funeral Services in 1992, and expanded to open Island Funeral Services in Campbell River in 2000. At this time all cremations had to be done out of town as there was no crematorium in Campbell River.

So seeing the need, the Roducks built Elk

RENÉE ANDOR/THE MIRROR

Co-owner of Elk Falls Crematorium and Island Funeral Services, Kent Roduck, sits in front of the niche wall, called the Wall of Remembrance. The wall is used as a place for family to go to remember the deceased, and is just one of many services the company offers.

Falls Crematorium in 2003, and it’s still the only crematorium in Campbell River.

Built using state of the art methods, Kent said the crematorium is environmentally friendly. It’s monitored meticulously, and as the heat is set at about 1,700 F only a clear smoke comes out.

Situated next to the municipal cemetery, the crematorium and reception centre is the only place in Campbell River to offer cremations, burials, receptions, gatherings, and memorials in one location.

“It provided a full range of things that people could have, but then with this, the

beauty of it as well, is that you can have everything here,” said Kent.

It also has a scattering garden called the Serenity Walkway, for scattering ashes, and a niche wall, called the Wall of Remembrance, for family to go to remember the deceased. Some people place an ash-filled

urn in their niche, or create a time capsule of the deceased’s personal belongings.

Rosemarie said many people who simply scatter a person’s ashes later feel a need to have a place to go to remember that person.

“We find the families come back and say well we want to get a

niche because we scattered dad, and we have no record of him anywhere, and we need a place to go,” explained Rosemarie.

Although not everyone chooses to have a service, Rosemarie said she feels it’s important to help bring family and friends closure.

“That gives you the

time to accept that a death has occurred, and that actually kick starts the grieving process and the closure that is required in the end,” she explained.

According to Kent, about 50 per cent of his clients have no idea what they would like to do for a service, and it can be hard to make decisions when grieving. He urges people to consider prearranging services for this reason.

“We would basically have them make the decisions they would normally make if they were dealing with a death at the time,” explained Kent.

Whether helping someone to prearrange services, or helping a grieving family make decisions at a difficult point in their lives, Kent said the most rewarding part of his profession is when family or friends of the deceased appreciate the service even through their grief.

“It’s almost instant feedback that you’ve done something to the best of your ability and people appreciate what you’ve done,” said Kent.

Old Timer can still fly

Riding test Taylor Gunn riding Dance in the Dark during the Campbell River Trail Riders’ Bronze Dressage Horse Show on Saturday. Riders and horses were judged on a series of movements and walk/ trot tests.

KRISTEN DOUGLAS/THE MIRROR

Duane Zeinstra dominated a very competitive 25 lap feature race for the Old Timers on Saturday at Saratoga Speedway.

Saturday marked the last appearance of the Old Timer and the Dwarf cars on the 2011 season.

Zeinstra won 3-out-of-5 races on Saturday, but he did not set fast time in qualifying on Saturday.

James Campbell set fast time in qualifying with a time of 16.555.

Ron Simpson won the B dash, with the A dash win going to Zeinstra. Zeinstra carried his winning ways into the heat, coming from the very back to take the win.

Larry Joyce managed to hold off Zeinstra and Campbell to take the reverse heat win. Zeinstra found himself in 1st place on lap 5 of the 25-lap main event and never looked back from there, holding off Campbell who finished second to take the win. Joe Dardengo rounded out the top 3.

Mike Meeres finished his Saratoga season strong, also winning 3-out-of-5 races on the night.

Meeres also set fast time on the night, setting a time of 15.668.

Don Banansky won the B dash, with the A dash win going to Meeres.

Dave Emmerson dominated to win the heat. Meeres had a poor finish in the first heat, which gave him great positioning to start the reverse heat and he used that to his advantage, leading all 10 laps of the heat.

Brad Kotscherofski won his first ever Bomber main event on Saturday. Gilles Cyr set fast time in qualifying, setting a time of 17.727. Travis Stevenson won the B dash, and Charlie Ackerman won the A. Ackerman found himself in the lead on lap 3 of the 12 lap heat and never looked back from there.

Gilles Cyr led the 30 lap feature from lap 9 until lap 25. On lap 25, Cyr had to withdraw from the race after blowing out his back end.

Brad Kotscherofski inherited the lead and never looked back, winning his first ever main event.

ARE YOU READY TO FEEL BETTER? Homeopathic Rubimeds from Europe can be effective for the treatment of anxiety and depression and in some cases prevent the use of medications.

This means you can feel better sooner without side effects.

Check out my column in the Midweek paper.

This article may be one of many that you read over the next week or so reminding you that our children will soon be on their way to school again. They will remind you that tyee school zones will be inchev effect, school crossing guards must be obeyed and that caution around stopped school buses is required. Will you as a prudent driver take this to heart and practice it without fail or will all your good intentions disappear the first time you are in a hurry?

As I have written before, my policing experience in school zones has shown me that many traffic rule offenders (more than just speeding) are parents and teachers themselves as they rush to get their children to school or to reach work on time. If these people don’t stop and think about risk versus convenience, why should they expect other drivers to do it?

Everyone else could be in just as much of a hurry.

Perhaps we need to have school zone campaigns at different times of the year that focus on issues other than speed. Officer on the bus, illegal stopping and parking, u-turns, child restraint use and failing to obey the direction of a crossing guard come to mind.

All of these behaviours present their own dangers to young pedestrians and passengers.

A unique idea to consider implementing this year for your neighbourhood is The Walking School Bus. Young children gather together and are escorted to school safely by parents who share the “bus driver” duties.

Walking is healthy for both parent and child while it also reduces vehicle congestion at the school.

The author is a retired constable with many years of traffic enforcement experience.

STOP ILLEGAL DUMPING. ILLEGAL DUMPING is a continual challenge for our region. In our communities and rural areas we have chronic illegal dumping sites, where everything from refrigerators to tires are discarded.

Most commonly, these items are dumped along roadsides, and in ditches and fields, wooded areas and remote sites.

Besides the cost of cleanup, illegal dumping also poses a threat to both the environment and to public health and safety.

For more information on illegal dumping visit www.cswm.ca or to report an incident contact the: Conservation Officer Service Report All Poachers and Polluters (RAPP) Dial Toll Free 1-877-952-7277 (RAPP) Cellular Dial #7277 or report violators online at www.env.gov.bc.ca/cos/rapp/form.htm
