An elderly woman escaped with-out injury, but her home was exten-sively damaged by fire Sunday eve-ning.

“When Campbell River Fire Res-cue responded to a house fire on Fawn Road yesterday evening at about 7:05 p.m., a large portion of the roof was involved in fire,” says Fire Chief Ian Baikie. “The lone occupant was watching from the street and is now staying with family since the damage was so significant.”

Fire crews from both fire stations were on scene until just after mid-night and prevented any damage to adjacent homes.

“The roof on this home was under construction before the fire, and fire investigators are interviewing the roofer, the home owner and neigh-bours to try and understand how the fire occurred,” the fire chief adds.

The dollar value of the damage has yet to be determined. The home was insured.

NDP leader Tom Mulcair is feeling bullish on B.C.

“Forty-two seats on the table in British Columbia in the next elec-tion,” Mulcair told a gathering of approximately 60 supporters at the Homalco Hall Sunday on the Homalco First Nation Reserve. “I can guarantee every single person in this room, the NDP will win the vast majority of those seats!”

Success in this province in the next election will complete the job of propelling the long-time “third” party in Canadian politics into the government. The previous NDP leader, the late Jack Layton, told

Mulcair that the first task for the NDP would be to form the official opposition, but the party wouldn’t form the Official Opposition until it made a breakthrough in Quebec. In the last election, the party made that breakthrough and now holds Official Opposition status.

“For the first time in a full gen-eration, a majority of Quebeckers elected a majority of their Mem-bers of Parliament from a federalist party,” Mulcair said. “That’s a sea change in Canadian politics.”

Completing the job of forming the government begins in B.C. where the base of the party is strong and a chance to win the majority of those 42 seats exists, Mulcair said.

It’s important the NDP take the next step and form the government because the Stephen Harper Conservatives are dismantling the country as we know it, he added. But Mulcair kept pointing out that the NDP has two enemies. Not only do they have to take on the Stephen Harper Conservative government, which is dismantling the country as we know it, but they also have to keep look-ing over their shoulder at the Justin Trudeau-led Liberal Party.

“The same Stephen Harper who boasts about being a good pub-lic administrator can’t

deliver a fighter jet to the air force, he can’t deliver the grain to the market, hell, he can’t even deliver the bloody mail,” Mul-cair said. “It shows that despite their boasts of trying to position them-selves as good managers, good public administra-tors, that’s just not true.”

And there’s a reason for it, Mulcair said.

“They don’t like gov-ernment,” he said. “They like being in power but they don’t like govern-ing because governing is hard work.”

Governing requires a scalpel and precision but the federal Conserva-tives only know how to “whack at things with a rusty machete.”

And that’s where the NDP comes in as a viable alternative, Mulcair said, because when you watch the Liberals, you realize that they have a history

that is like the old Pea-nuts cartoon where Lucy promises to hold the ball for Charlie Brown but always pulls it away when he goes to kick it,

even though she prom-ised she wouldn’t.

“Just remember L for Lucy, L for Liberal because they will always pull the ball away and you will always wind up flat on your back,” Mul-cair said.

Mulcair then went on to compare the NDP’s 2015 and the Conserva-tives’ and the Liberals’ 2015.

In 2015, the NDP will release a child care plan that will invest in fami-lies and that will deliver a return on that invest-ment. Harper’s Conser-vatives vision for fami-lies in 2015 will involve an income splitting plan that will only benefit the richest 15 per cent in our

country. “The other 85 per cent

will be left behind, as usual,” Mulcair said.

Look at the life of working people in Can-ada, Mulcair said. To whom do we owe the fact that we don’t have a federal minimum wage in Canada, he asked. The Liberals, Mulcair said. They left minimum wage to the provinces in 1993.

The NDP, meanwhile, will bring in a $15 an hour federal minimum wage. But it’s not the gov-ernment that pays the minimum wage, it’s the employers, Mulcair said. The NDP is going to give breaks to the small employers that pay that minimum wage.

The Conservatives have given $50 billion a year in tax breaks to Canada’s richest corpo-rations.

“The ones that never asked for it and certainly didn’t need it and they’re not the job creators in our country,” Mulcair said.

What does Stephen Harper’s 2015 look like for jobs and wages, Mul-cair asked? It’s the 15 per cent rule, he said. Harper has allowed companies to pay temporary foreign workers 15 per cent less than Canadian workers.

And that has sup-pressed the wages and working conditions of the average working Canadian, Mulcair said.

Mayor Andy Adams says the new city council will decide within one year what to do with the city’s valuable waterfront property along the Island Highway.

The prop-erty, a sand pit between Dis-cover y Har-bour Shopping C e nt re and t he Q uadra ferry terminal, has been a hot topic at City Hall for more than 20 years.

The land is one of three parcels that when combined make up 9.5 acres, with the other two belonging to the Camp-bell River Indian Band, part of the Wei Wai Kum First Nation.

While the previous council went so far as to hire consultants to host a public engagement ses-sion and prepare a report on recommendations for the property, no council has made a formal deci-sion on how to develop

the site.During the new coun-

cil’s inaugural meeting Dec.2, though, Adams said he won’t be dragging his heels on what to do with the property.

He said that turn-ing “the albatross into

a jewel” is one of his top pri-orities over the next four years.

“For 20 plus years it has been debated what to do with this site, we have a room full of studies, reports, cha-rette, public

hearing and workshop minutes. We don’t need another study,” Adams said. “What we need to do is put together a part-nership with the Wei Wai Kum First Nation and complete a plan that ensures the public inter-ests and amenities of the 3.5 acre site are respected and complements the vision of the band for the neighbouring six acre site.

“Together, we can make something truly

spectacular.”Adams said he plans to

form a task force, with himself and Coun. Mar-lene Wright at the helm, that will “have a one year mandate to lay out plans for this area. This will include community

engagement and partici-pation and full and com-plete cooperation with our First Nation partner.”

The majority of those who participated in a charette with consulting firm Coriolis Consult-ing in November, 2013

would like to see the waterfront property con-verted into public space.

While no council has yet to make a decision on what to do with the property, the last coun-cil, earlier this year, did approve a draft of

18 guiding principles, which were recom-mended by Coriolis con-sultants. Those princi-ples include: connecting the property to the rest of the downtown core; emphasizing pedestrian priority over vehicles;

consideration of public amenity space; consider-ation of residential and mixed use development with significant public park space; ensuring a First Nations identity; having public views to the water, and others.

Two Quadra Island properties will have to wait a few more weeks

to find out whether they will be included in the island’s sewer service.

T h e S t r a t h c o n a Regional District’s board of directors was unable

to proceed Thursday with adding two addi-tional properties on Pidcock Road to a sewer extension project.

Although the item was

up for adoption on the board meeting agenda, Tom Yates, corporate services manager of the regional district, said during Thursday’s meet-

ing that approval from the Inspector of Munici-palities to extend the project boundary had not yet come through.

“We were hoping

to hear back from the province before this meeting today,” Yates said. “Unfortunately we have not been so advised (and) at this point I would say the board does not have the authority to proceed with adoption. So we would be bringing this back.”

The board voted to defer the issue until its next meeting which is scheduled for Wednes-day, Jan. 7.

The two Pidcock Road properties expressed interest in hooking up to the sewer service in the summer – shortly after a July referendum was passed in favour of extending sewer service out towards the fore-shore and Pidcock Road areas, as well as on Her-iot Bay Road.

The project origi-nally included 36 prop-erties, however, two other property owners on Green Road have

also requested they be included, as well as the two on Pidcock Road.

The original 36 prop-erty owners will be expected to pay $9,100 plus an additional cost to hook their property up to the sewer line – a cost which will vary from home to home.

T h e S t r a t h c o n a Regional District is applying $392,400 of its Gas Tax funds transfer from the federal govern-ment towards the project to keep the costs down for property owners.

The $720,000 project was given the green light after 18 of the 36 (55 per cent) affected property owners voted in favour of moving ahead with the sewer extension.

Construction on the sewer extension project is expected to get under-way in the spring of next year, with completion estimated to come some-time next fall.

The new Strath-cona Regional District board of directors was officially sworn in last Thursday.

The first order of business at the board’s inaugural meeting was to have each director swear an oath of office.

T he o at hs we re administered by barris-ter and solicitor Susan Sinnott in the board room of the Strath-cona Regional District offices.

Each director was called up one at a time to take their Oath of Office.

Following that pledge, each director was asked whether they would take the Oath of Alle-giance to the Queen.

Regional d ist r ic t directors, with the exception of Area A Director Gerald Whal-ley and Area B (Cortes Island) Director Noba Anderson, recited the Oath of Allegiance.

The oath to the Queen and the British monarch is not a requirement but

is typically recited by elected officials during swearing in ceremonies.

In Victoria, that city’s new mayor Lisa Helps caused a stir when she declined to take the Oath of Alle-giance, reportedly out

of respect for First Nations.

Following the swear-ing in of directors, the board meeting got underway with some housekeeping items at the top of the agenda.

Directors approved a

board meeting sched-ule for 2015 which will

see two board meet-ings a month, with the first meeting of the month taking place on Wednesday and the second on Thursday. Meetings are slated to begin at 12:30 p.m. on both days.

It’s a familiar refrain this time of year.No, not the holiday wishes. Rather, the plea to motorists

and pedestrians to take special care while they’re on the streets. This week two pedestrians died in separate

incidents in the Lower Mainland.They join a stark and growing

statistic: Every December in B.C., an average of seven pedestrians are killed and another 269 are injured.

The dark rainy weather, slippery streets and poor visibility all conspire to

make driving more difficult.There’s little we can do about that. But what we can do

is make the extra effort to see and be seen.

ICBC has a few suggestions. They’re made every year, but they’re worth repeating.

To motorists, remain attentive at all times. Not only is it illegal to use a hand-held device while driving, the consequences can be deadly.

Pay particular attention around intersections where 75 per cent of all pedestrian incidents occur. Watch while turning left or right for pedestrians who have already begun to cross. And remember that the rain makes the roads more slick. So build in a bit more braking time.

For pedestrians, never assume that just because you see the vehicles, their drivers see you. Headlights, traffic and other distractions compete with your visibility. Fight back by ensuring you are dressed to be seen; wear reflective

clothing, a reflective arm band, or carry a light.Keep your eyes and ears open and focus on what’s

happening around you. That means pulling out your headphones, or putting the phone away while crossing a busy street.

But the most important point is to never assume a driver sees you. Make eye contact and always err on the side of caution; the consequences of an accident are far graver for the pedestrian than for the driver.

The holidays are a hectic time of year. We all have places to be and things to think about.

But they’re also meant to be a happy time; don’t let an accident or injury spoil that.

We say: Every December, an average of seven pedestrians die

From all reports, Suzanne Cote brings an eminent legal background to her new role as a Justice on the Supreme Court of Canada.

It is quite a paradox, then, that the recent appointment of the insightful Ms. Cote to the Court was done in such a cheap and arbitrary way.

In the past number of years, there have been both a hear-ing process and a Selections Panel in place, in which all par-ties in the House of Commons could confer with the legal community and participate in the short-listing and screen-ing of candidates for appointment to our highest court.

Not any longer. In yet another move to consolidate power and silence

debate, Prime Minister Harper has now twice bypassed both the hearing and the panel process, thus squelching this wider, valuable input into these crucially important appointments. This is shameful, and exactly the opposite of the transparency and accountability Mr. Harper was first elected on. This begs the question: Are we simply to accept that “that was then, but this is now?”

NDP leader plays both sides of the fish farm fenceFederal leader of the opposition Tom

Mulcair popped into town Sunday on a pre-Christmas Island road swing for a Town Hall type meeting at the Homalco Cultural Centre.

This ostensibly public meeting was a chance for Mulcair to rally the troops and give a boost to recently-nominated Vancouver Island North NDP candidate Rachel Blaney.

I won’t say Muclair is the most fiery of orators but we’re not actually in an election campaign yet, although one is expected next year. Perhaps he’ll catch fire once the writ is officially dropped.

However, an early issue of contention may have reared its head at Sunday’s gathering on which the NDP is going to have to clarify its position. In the ques-

tion and answer period that inevitably follows these presentations, two mem-bers of the audience asked Mulcair his stance on not just salmon farming but how he was going to get rid of salmon farming.

“Are you against fish farms and if so, how fast are you going to get them out of our waters,” one person asked. “Fish farms, they gotta go.”

Another questioner made it sound like all in the room were itching to mount the battlements to engage the enemy on this issue. I don’t know if that actually was the case, there was certainly sup-port, perhaps half the room applauded her call to arms.

Mulcair himself did a masterful job of sounding like he was behind the call yet

at the same time hedged his bets. Mul-cair talked about how he happily noted that the first restaurant he stopped in in B.C. offered wild salmon. He also lauded Fin Donnelly’s work on the aquaculture file. Asserting that “the way things are being done out here has been a disaster.”

But then Mulcair asserted that any NDP position on salmon farming had to be based on science.

“What’s needed is you have to start lis-tening to the science here and that’s not what they’re (Conservatives and Liber-als) doing,” Mulcair said

“We would sit down and look at this situation as we receive it when we arrive (as the government),” Mulcair said.

The NDP would then sit down and discuss it with players involved and look

at what has to be changed “to make it sustainabile in the long term, if at all.”

Which is a good thing to base your policy on, you can’t deny. Mulcair’s position is that they have no position on salmon farming but when they do develop one, it will be based on science.

So, in case you missed it, Mulcair said the current situation is a disaster but the NDP will consult with scientists and stakeholders if they form the gov-ernment and make changes if they’re needed. That does not sound like a plan to ban fish farms as soon as they form the government.

Of course, if they form the govern-ment, they’re going to have to develop a policy pretty darn quick because aqua-

It wasn’t the accident on the South Island Highway Friday that bothered police.

It was the drive cell phone photographers.

On Friday at 4:07 p.m., Campbell River RCMP responded to a single vehicle collision on the Island Highway South by Rockland Road.

A grey 2003 Chevrolet

Silverado was travelling southbound on the high-way when the driver left the roadway and struck a power pole.

Power was knocked out throughout the area and into the downtown core.

The Campbell River RCMP, The Campbell River Fire Department and BC Ambulance Ser-

vice attended the scene and rendered assistance.

The driver and only occupant, a 44-year-old Campbell River man, had only minor injuries and was taken to hospital as a precaution.

The cause of the colli-sion is still under inves-tigation, however drugs and alcohol were not a factor.

“Police officers on scene reported that sev-eral drivers passing the collision had their cell phones out taking pic-tures as they were driv-ing by,” Cpl. Poppy Hal-lam said. “The public is reminded using an elec-tronic device while driv-ing is an offence. If you are driving by a scene such as that, you need

to be paying attention to the flaggers and the roadway.

“These scenes are

extremely dangerous for first responders and the Good Samaritans who have stopped to help.

They should not have to be worried that drivers passing by are distracted by using cell phones.”

culture is an issue that’s not going anywhere.

It’s particularly rel-evant to Campbell River because we have a new mayor who has declared his desire to continue developing Campbell River as a centre for the aquaculture industry in B.C.

Aquaculture is also a significant employer in this riding and the opposition to it is by no means universal.

Earlier in his presen-tation, Muclair said the NDP is going to outline its policies so that every-body knows where they stand. His performance on the aquaculture ques-

tion Sunday sounded suspiciously like dodg-ing the bullet.

There’s enough science around right now for the party to define its stance. Goodness knows, both environmentalists and the aquaculture indus-try have commissioned plenty of studies.

I don’t know if it was as

obvious to anybody else as it was to me how he tried to sit on the fence on this issue. There’s no doubt it’s a landmine in this riding. Now, to be sure it is only one issue of many that Mulcair touched on but if Sun-day’s meeting is anything to go by, it appears the minefield has been laid.

MIKE DAVIESCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Various agencies are coming together to bolster the local hir-ing aspect of the North Island Hospitals Project (NIHP).

According to the NIHP, approximately 50 per cent of those cur-rently working on the Campbell River site of the project are locals – hired by local contrac-tors who have won bids for various aspects of the project – 16 per cent are from elsewhere Vancou-ver Island, and 38 per cent are from off-Island.

They are hoping to increase that ratio of locals shortly, how-ever, according to Doug Podetz, Director of Pro-gram Standards with the Industry Training Authority (ITA) of B.C.

Podetz says he was approached by Chief Project Officer of NIHP Tom Sparrow to see what they could do in terms of getting more people trained and hired locally for the NIHP, and soon they had this committee of people representing

various employment, training and business ventures to address the issue by partnering the NIHP with the ITA, North Island College (NIC), North Island Employment Founda-tions Society (NIEFS), the North Vancouver Island Aboriginal Train-ing Society (NVIATS) and the contractors themselves in an attempt to get more people trained to take jobs on the project.

“There’s been really great support within the community in bring-ing all of these parties together,” said Podetz. “Things are still in the early stages, but we’ve got an excellent foun-dation put down, and we’re definitely work-ing in the right direc-tion, and we’re working on a plan to come up to Campbell River and work with North Island College on getting some of these programs set up to address these needs,” Podetz said.

Patricia Rokosh, Dean of Trades at NIC, said they are ready to meet the demands of employ-ers, assuming they get funding from their funders (such as the ITA) to facilitate the programs they need to offer.

“The college is man-dated to be respon-

sive to the needs of the region and supporting local training increases funding support and, sometimes, the number of seats in a program or the type of ministry-approved programs a college is allowed and approved to deliver,” Rokosh said.

They are also, though their Continuing Educa-tion department, look-ing at improving their “shorter-term certificate kind of programming,” according to Rokoch, such as first aid train-ing, drywalling, painter/decorator and general labourer training, in direct response to the employment demands of the NIHP.

“There’s a new-ish program called Con-struction Craft Worker,” Rokosh said, which was added to fill some of the worker-knowledge gaps on the sites. “It is essen-tially for training general labourers for construc-tion sites. Someone who knows how to tie rebar, and shove the (concrete) sluice down, that kind of thing…someone who the contractor can say, ‘Hey, go get me this,’ and they will know what ‘this’ is.”

According to Podetz, the employers who are bidding on the contracts for work on the projects

are keen to get employ-ees from the area for various reasons.

One of the main ones is that it cuts back on an employer’s expenses considerably if their employees already live in the area in which they’ll be working, as they won’t have to bring them in and set them up with housing, etc.

Possibly more impor-tantly, though, is the fact that hiring locally helps keep more of the eco-nomic benefit of proj-ects of this scale within the local economy.

“Local workers are (also) more likely to stay on a job in their own community and will feel vested in the project,” added Rokosh, and employee satisfac-tion also builds a posi-tive reputation for the employer within a com-munity, increasing the chances they will be considered for future projects.

Those interested in learning more about training for jobs on the NIHP should contact Shannon Baikie at NIEFS ([email protected]), Sherry Simms at NVIATS ([email protected]) or Michelle Hume, career counsel-lor at NIC ([email protected]) for more information.

Another of the quar-terly North Island Hos-pitals Project (NIHP) community consulta-tions took place Dec. 4 in the Timberline High School Theatre, and it was another poor show-ing from the community being consulted.

“It’s a shame that more people don’t come,” said Bill Ritchie, a Camp-bell River resident, after attending the Dec. 4 session – his third such meeting. “We have the opportunity to come and

have reasoned input, and I bet there weren’t more than 10 people here from the general community,” Richie said.

He feels it’s important to come to community information sessions like this, “simply so that there isn’t a whole bunch of misinforma-tion going around town. I don’t think there has been so far (about this particular project), but there is about so much of the stuff going on, where people get on the Internet and Facebook and complain and write letters to the editors and

they don’t know what they’re talking about,” he said. “People are pretty quick to bitch and com-plain, but they don’t necessarily find out if they’re even right before they flap their gums. If people would just check and find out what they’re talking about, it would be nice,” Ritchie laughed. “That’s what this kind of thing is useful for. It’s all here – all you have to do is ask.”

NIHP Chief Project Officer Tom Sparrow said the lack of atten-dance doesn’t affect their willingness to have these

meetings.“I want to share it with

the communities. I want you folks to be able to be involved in the evolu-tion of our designs and be a part of the process,” he said at the meeting. “We’ll continue to do that through the life of the project. We’re going to be as transparent as you can get.”

Jennifer Singer, Senior Project Coordinator of the Comox Valley site was also recently tasked with the formation of the Public/Patient Advi-sory Committee to create yet another level of pub-

lic consultation. The 14 members of the commit-tee, according to Singer, selected after an exten-sive application process from all over the region, from Port McNeill to Courtenay, “will work on all aspects of the design of the hospital – way-finding, interiors, access issues, from now through the duration of the project.”

The consultation pro-cess doesn’t just involve engaging the general public , however. It wouldn’t make sense to design a hospital with-out the help of those who

will be delivering ser-vices within it, after all.

“Our clinical teams – we have 35 teams made up of representa-tives from both Camp-bell River Hospital and St. Josephs Hospital (in Comox) – have been actively involved and continue to be actively involved in designing our facilities over the next few years,” said Sparrow. “Once we fin-ish that off, we will then move into developing the transition planning with them, so that their teams and departments will all be very much

aware of what we’re designing and be able to ensure that they’re up to speed when it comes to delivering healthcare in these facilities that they were directly involved in helping to design. We could not design these facilities without their direct input, support and guidance.”

For those who wish to have input into the construction of the new hospital or have any questions about the proj-ect, the next community consultation session is scheduled for Thursday, March 12, 2015.

Consultation integral for hospitals project


“The Oscars” of inno-vation in higher edu-cation awards – The Reimagine Education Awards at the Wharton School of Business – were held last week in Philadelphia, and North Island College (NIC) took home second place in the Discipline Award in Life Sciences and Medicine.

The Reimagine Educa-tion Awards were devel-oped to identify the most innovative approaches in higher education to enhance learning and student employability, and NIC was second to only Hong Kong Univer-sity of Science and Tech-nology, one of Asia’s top universities, which took home first place in two categories.

“Finishing second to Hong Kong Univer-sity shows the quality of education NIC pro-vides,” NIC President John Bowman said of the award.

“NIC’s Remote Web-Based Science Lab (RWSL) already makes learning science more tangible, accessible, and affordable to students

across North America. It’s about the technology and the quality of learn-ing.”

The RWSL was also one of the top 12 final-ists shortlisted for an E-learning award, with universities from the UK, Singapore, Aus-tralia, Korea, Germany, India, Mexico, and the United States.

The only other short-listed Canadian col-lege or university in the entire competition was the University of McMaster’s Honours Integrated Science pro-

gram.A panel of 25 interna-

tional experts – a who’s who of higher education and technology – judged 427 submissions from universities and enter-prises from 43 countries.

They awarded the $50,000 top prize to PaGamO, a soc ia l game developed at the National Taiwan Uni-versity where students answer questions to collect virtual land and wealth, and PhET Inter-active Simulations, from the University of Colo-rado Boulder which uses animations to explain science to 45 million students.

The RWSL gives any student with an Inter-net connection access to hands-on lab experi-

ments in real time. Students manipulate

lasers, high-powered microscopes, electrons, spectrometers, and more in 25 lab experiments.

“We’ve been devel-oping this for over 10 years,” said Naomi Ta b a t a , M a n a g e r of NIC’s Centre for Research, Technology and Innovation.

“It enables students in remote areas to access science labs online. It’s not a simulation, the lab actually exists at our Courtenay campus, and students are just operat-ing the equipment from wherever they are.”

Balbon invented the RWSL 10 years ago to offer hands-on science labs for an NIC instruc-tor in Bella Bella.

He has since presented the technology to the White House and the Association of Canadian Community Colleges, shared programming with the European Space Agency and NASA, and received funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the US Department of Labor.

“We’re ex t remely proud of Albert’s inno-vation and we know he has many more ideas to come,” Bowman said.

“We expect he will come home from the conference inspired and ready to explore new opportunities.”

Looking for the perfect gift?

Well look no further.The Campbell River

Festival of Film is now selling their winter sea-son’s passes in time for Christmas. The passes are available at the Tide-mark box office or online www.tidemarktheatre.com and sell for $45 plus tax and applicable fees. They entitle the holder to five wonderful films and include a series of dynamic shorts and draws at each screening.

The Festival is the result of a successful partnership that was formed 18 years ago with the Toronto Inter-national Film Festival Film Circuit.

T h i s p ar t n e r s h ip allows the Campbell River group to book films and shorts directly from Toronto that would not normally make their way to our Campbell River movie theatres.

The organizers want everyone to know that all the proceeds go directly back into our commu-nity! Each year, bursa-ries and equipment are given to local students and schools. Equipment has also been donated to the Tidemark Theatre to help make it possible to showcase these great films.

The winter season will start Jan. 20 with Force Majeure followed by Pride on Feb. 3. Fox-

catcher will be featured on Feb. 17 with Mommyplaying on March 3. The season finale will be on March 10 and that title will be CitizenFour.

The festival organiz-ers are also planning an extra sixth film called Mr. Turner on March 24 that will be presented as a benefit screening to raise funds for the Campbell River Art Gallery.

This year’s winter sea-son’s pass comes with an additional bonus. Several restaurants have partnered with the fes-tival to offer a dinner and a movie experience. When you buy your pass you will also get special discounts at these won-derful restaurants on movie nights.

So, by purchasing a pass you support your community, view a vari-ety of quality films and have the opportunity to save money on a dinner out. If you give this pass as a gift you wrap all this goodness into a pres-ent that keeps on giving

well into March. It’s time to put on your Santa hat and head down to the

Tidemark Theatre box office to buy your sea-son’s passes.

Don’t forget you can also purchase them online. To buy your

Season Pass or for fur-ther information, please contact the Tidemark

Theatre at www.tide-marktheatre.com or at [email protected] .

Campbell River is warming up this winter with the Light of Chanu-kah touring from Vic-toria.

The annual public Menorah lighting will be held at the City Hall front steps with Mayor Andy Adams. This fes-tive event tomorrow (Dec. 18) at 3 p.m.is free and open to the public.

“It is wonderful for our community to experi-ence the support being demonstrated by the Provincial Government and the Mayors of our participating munici-palities in marking Cha-nukah this year.” – Rabbi Meir Kaplan, Direc-tor, Chabad Vancouver Island

The entire community is invited to join in dur-ing the official lighting

ceremony of the eight foot tall public Meno-rah and enjoy Sufgani-yot (Israeli jelly donuts), dreidels, chocolate gelt (coins) and the sounds of Chanukah music.

C h a n u k a h B a c k -ground:

Chanukah is a Jewish holiday, also known as the Festival of Lights. Chanukah is a Hebrew word meaning “dedica-tion.” Chanukah cel-ebrates the triumph of light over darkness, of purity over adulteration, of spirituality over mate-riality. It begins on the 25th day of the Hebrew

month of Kislev, and the holiday is celebrated for eight days.

Since in Jewish tradi-tion the Hebrew calen-dar date starts at sun-set, the first evening of Chanukah starts after the sunset of the 24th of Kislev.

This is usually the evening before the date shown for the first day of Chanukah on the Gregorian calendars that include it. The start of Chanukah usually falls in December but occasion-ally is in late November.

Chanukah commemo-rates two main historical

events: Firstly, the tri-umph of Judaism’s spiri-tual values as embodied in its Torah (symbolized by the Menorah) over Hellenistic civilization, which had attempted to Hellenize the Jews away from practising Judaism’s commandments.

Secondly, the victory of the ancient Jewish Hasmoneans over the Seleucid Empire when Judah Maccabee and his brothers defeated over-whelming forces and rededicated the Temple in Jerusalem by finding enough oil to last eight nights.

Paig Ziola just knew he was going to be the one – and when his name was selected in a random draw out of 340 grade three students in Camp-bell River, he was ready to roll.

“This student was so prepared to be fire chief that he wore a tie to school that day,” says Fire Chief Ian Baikie. “He was exception-ally focused and highly curious all day, chatting with crew members and

asking lots of questions. We’ll remember Paig for a long time as the guy who was on fire to be fire chief for a day.”

On the morning of Dec. 5, Paig’s name was drawn, and he was picked up by the fire crew for a ride in the fire engine. At the fire hall, Paig checked over the station and inspected the equipment. He was treated to lunch at McDonald’s with Mayor Andy Adams, Fire Chief

Ian Baikie and other members of the fire crew.

“As they have done for many years, McDonald’s owners Jens and Mary Rolinski and their staff graciously provided the lunch for this event,” says Chief Baikie.

W h e n P a i g w a s returned to school in the fire truck, he took with him some tools to help him be more fire safe at home.

“We have every rea-son to believe that Paig

is taking fire safety very seriously and will be a great ambassador for fire prevention,” Chief Baikie adds.

The Campbell River F i r e D e p a r t m e nt ’s annual Fire Chief for a Day contest wraps up the annual Fire Safety House campaign. This Novem-ber, fire prevention staff and fire fighters visited schools to provide this fire safety training to 340 grade three students in Campbell River.

Fire Chief for a Day aflame over opportunityFire Chief for a Day, Paig Ziola, stops in for lunch at McDonalds with Mayor Andy Adams, Fire Chief (of every other day) Ian Baikie, and other members of the crew.

Biathlon takes aim as the snow fliesVancouver Island Biathlon Club is gearing up for a new season.

Brett Lervold scored at 2:20 of over-time to give the hometown Victoria Cougars a 4-3 win over the Campbell River Storm in a battle of first place teams played Sunday afternoon at Archie Browning Arena.

It was a heartbreaking loss for the Storm, who battled back from a 2-0 deficit to take the lead with three goals in the third period. However, they failed to contain league-leading scorer Sam McMullen in the dying moments as the crafty Cougars’ cen-treman first set up the tying goal by Aiden Silzer-Hooker with just six seconds left on the clock, and then Lervold’s OT winner.

“That’s Sam McMullen for you, he’s an incredible hockey player”, com-mented Storm head coach Lee Stone, “We shut him down the whole game and then he finds a way to make a play with six seconds left – that’s what great players do. We’ll be ready for him next time.”

The Cougars came out hitting and had the Storm on their heels through much of the opening period. Michael Fretz gave Victoria a 1-0 lead at 13:48 of the first, and Lane Van de Weter-ing doubled the advantage early in the second. But after a time-out, Camp-bell River finally got rolling. They carried the play, hit a crossbar, had a goal called back, and ended up out-shooting the Cougars 22-8 during the middle frame.

Will McNamara got the locals on the board three minutes into the third with a high wrist shot that caught the top corner. Colin Blake tied it at 16:21 of the third, sliding a rebound past Victoria goaltender Anthony Ciurro. A minute and a half later, Gage Col-pron gave the Storm their first lead of the game, scoring high over Ciurro’s glove after a beautiful pass by Gavin Rauser.

“I was really happy with our resil-iency to battle back in the third period like that,” said Stone, “We were miss-ing some bodies (due to injury), and then lost Michael Olson in the first period, but we still out-played them for most of the game. When we play the Cougars its always great hockey – two very skilled teams that love to skate and pass the puck – I don’t know too many people that wouldn’t have enjoyed watching that game.”

The Storm began the week’s work with a 7-3 victory over the Nanaimo Buccaneers Thursday night in the Harbour City. Michael Olson scored the game winner at 5:13 of the third period, converting a perfectly exe-cuted two-on-one with Will McNa-mara. Campbell River trailed 3-1 after the first period, but roared back with six straight to seal the win. Gage Colpron and Colin Blake each tallied twice, while McNamara and Gavin Rauser added singles. McNamara also contributed four assists. Storm net-minder Jesse Michel had a busy night as Nanaimo out-shot the locals 37-34.

Friday night at home, the Storm again rallied from a two goal deficit in a 6-4 triumph over the Saanich Braves. After falling behind 2-0, Col-pron tallied a pair of second period power-play goals to spur the come-back. McNamara had another pro-ductive outing, scoring twice and adding two assists. Olson and Kobe Oishi also found the back of the net for Campbell River, which played the game without seven regulars.

Emergency call-ups from the Midget Tyees included goaltender Nic Kirchner, defenseman Tyson Dumont, along with forwards Owen Boyd and Travis Goodwin. Despite the depleted line-up, the Storm still managed to out-shoot the visiting Braves 44-20.

MANAGING YOUR MONEY

Christmas cash for kids – yes or no

™ Trademarks owned by IGM Financial Inc. and licensed to its subsidiary corporations.

1046 Cedar StreetCampbell River

Ph. [email protected]

Giving your kids or grandkids the gift of cash at Christmas is a good thing, isn’t it? Well, yes and no. Yes, fi nancial gifts are always appreciated. But no, because cash is the gift that doesn’t keep on giving – once it’s gone … it’s gone. Here are some more creative ways to give money as a gift – ways that will keep in giving.• Buy a stock, bond or units of a mutual fund through an account in the recipient’s name. The recipient will not have the legal capacity to cash the account in until they reach the age of majority. In most cases, so long as the recipient remains a minor, the parents’ authorization will be required to establish the account and to accept further contributions.• Contribute to investments that are held within a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP). However, it’s generally not recommended that grandparents establish a separate RESP for their grandchildren – for example, if the child

decides not to pursue a post-secondary education and the plan income is withdrawn as an accumulated income payment (AIP), grandparents over age 71 will not be able to contribute the AIP to their RRSP. Instead, give the money to the parents so they can contribute to the child’s already in place investments held in the RESP.• Create a formal trust. If the amount of the gift is signifi cant, a formal trust can ensure that adequate controls are in place and that the funds will be used in the intended manner. Keep in mind that when giving fi nancial gifts to minors, the grandparents will not have the authority to manage the child’s fi nancial affairs, and parents typically will not either. Once the gift is purchased, the money will have to stay within the account until the child reaches the age of majority in their province of residence. If the parents want the account cashed out in advance, they may have to obtain a court order

of guardianship of the property of the child, or go through some other court process, depending on their province of residence, and the amount they would like cashed in.Consider also that cashing in equities to raise funds for the gift may trigger unrealized capital gains or losses and there can be tax implications. Also, if the cash gift is invested in income-producing investments, the income will need to be reported by the contributing parents or grandparents on their tax returns until the child turns 18.A fi nancial gift to your kids or grandkids can be the gift that keeps on giving – when it’s properly structured. Your professional advisor can ensure that happens in the best possible way.

Cermaq City FC trav-elled to Victoria this past weekend.

B efore they even kicked a bal l they received a boost with the news that the League leaders, Saanich had tied against third-place Cast-aways. It was an ideal result for Cermaq with both teams dropping two valuable points.

The focus at the start of their own game against Vic West was to take advantage of the result with a victory and three points. The opening 15 minutes of the game were an even affair. The pitch at Glasgow was atrocious making any decent soccer almost impossible.

The opening goal was to come following a goal mouth scramble. Wyatt Bryce was first to react to the loose ball and slotted it away in a composed fashion.

An early substitution came with an injury to the Division’s lead-ing scorer and Cermaq

centre forward Shane Dumanoir. This gave the opportunity for new signing Edgar Cranmer to get his first minutes with the team. It didn’t take him long to settle as he scored the second goal with his first touch.

Mark Ross sent a fine through ball onto Paddy Cullen who cut the ball back in an unself-ish manner to Cranmer who had made a good run to the back post area and it was a simple tap in for the second goal of the game. Cermaq controlled the rest of the half and midfielder Eddie Lawson was at the center of much of the strong play.

The second half saw an even affair. Cermaq con-tent to hold onto their lead but always looking to get forward while Vic West relied more on a counter attacking game with their pacey for-wards doing their best to get in behind the full backs and whip some crosses in.

Keeper Beau Belle-Oudry was in fine form and made a couple of outstanding saves to keep the two goal lead secure.

Midway into the sec-ond half some excellent attacking play involving Bryce and Dumanoir saw the third goal. Bryce went on a determined solo run toward the top of the eighteen yard box before laying the ball into the path of the onrushing Dumanoir who smashed the ball into the net.

Vic West responded themselves with a superb header to make it 3-1. It wasn’t to be enough and Cermaq were able to record another road vic-tory and a valuable three points.

This result maintains Cermaq’s second place in the Victoria Island Soccer Division Three League. Cermaq are five points off the top but have three games in hand. Most of the league are on Christmas break until Jan. 17.

The BC Salmon Farm-ers Association (BCSFA) is taking a major step towards learning more about B.C.’s coastal envi-ronment, particularly wild salmon.

The BCSFA announced

Friday that it will invest $1.5-million over the next five years, partner-ing with academics and independent science-based organizations, to expand knowledge of B.C.’s aquatic environ-

ment. They expect to announce their initial collaborative project in the first quarter of 2015, and anticipate their seed funding to generate over $3-million in research projects by 2020, accord-

ing to the release issued about the investment.

T h i s f u n d i n g announcement follows the completion of a series of priority-setting workshops that included 50 participants from

academia, independent research institutes, con-servation organizations, government and the aquaculture industry. With backgrounds in fish pathology, ecol-ogy, population dynam-

i c s , o c e a n o g r ap hy and genomics, these researchers will focus on five key research areas: fish pathogen transmis-sion, salmon migration routes, environmental management, fish health

reporting and informa-tion sharing.

“The workshops have effectively moved the discussion from broad concepts to designing and implementing spe-cific research projects,” according to Dr. Don Noakes, Dean of Sci-ence at Vancouver Island University (VIU). “This research will improve our understanding of how wild and cultured salmon interact in the environment, with the goal of ensuring that future generations can enjoy the economic, social and cultural ben-efits that both wild and farm-raised salmon pro-vide.”

The B CSFA a l s o announced Friday that it is forming an external Science Advisory Coun-cil. The Council will advise on projects and make recommendations on BCSFA-led research over the next five years.

“The announcement made today by the BC Salmon Farmer’s Asso-ciation underscores the industry’s commitment to research and the long-term sustainability and competitiveness of the industry,” according to Dr. Alan Winter, Presi-dent & CEO of Genome BC.

“Importantly, the fund-ing will allow industry to access existing fund-ing programs such as Genome BC’s User Part-nership Program (UPP), aimed at translating research with industry partners. Programs such as UPP and the Genom-ics Applied Partnership Program bring together B.C. researchers and industry partners to address industry specific challenges in a collabor-ative and practical way.”
