The Campbell River-based B.C. Salmon Farmers Association (BCSFA) is putting a brave face on the chilling findings of the Cohen Commission, while environmen-talists celebrate what they see as
a significant blow to fish farm-ing in the area of the Discovery Islands.
BCSFA board member Clare Backman told the Mirror Thurs-day the association “does not see the report as investment chill-ing.”
“There is a big difference
between what we read and what the commentators are saying,” he said. “There is no science of fish farm harm, but there is a lot of evidence of public concern. We see this as an opportunity to work with the federal government, the regulators and the NGOs (non-governmental organizations) to
satisfy those concerns.“Our members are commit-
ted to farming responsibly and that commitment will continue as we move forward in light of these recommendations,” Back-man added. “It’s important that we continue with the important social and economic role we
play in the coastal communitiesof B.C. while protecting our natu-ral environment.”
Another BCSFA board mem-ber, Stewart Hawthorn, said: “Weknow that the fish on our farmsare healthy and Justice BruceCohen has acknowledged theimpressive data we made avail-able. We are committed to pro-tecting the marine environmentand our iconic wild salmon andwe support the call for furtherresearch in this small farmingarea.”
But the recommendations in thefinal report of the Commissionof Inquiry into the Decline ofthe Fraser River Sockeye go waybeyond a call for more research.Former B.C. Supreme Court Jus-tice Cohen has called for a freezeon new salmon farms in the Dis-covery Islands.
Even though celebrity biolo-gist Alexandra Morton describedher testimony before the com-mission more than a year agoas “a depressing experience,”it appears that Justice Cohen

JEFF NAGELBLACK PRESS
The Cohen Inquiry is urging an immedi-ate eight-year freeze on new net-pen salmon farms in the Discovery Islands between north-ern Vancouver Island and the B.C. main-land.
Farms in that area should be prohibited outright in 2020 if the Department of Fish-eries and Oceans can-not confidently say by then the risk to wild salmon from aquacul-ture there is minimal, the inquiry’s three-volume report says, and the ban should be immediate if evidence of elevated risk arises sooner.
No single culprit – not fish farms, over-fishing, pollution, natural predators or global warming – gets primary blame for the two-decade decline of Fraser River sockeye salmon.
And while commis-sion head and retired Justice Bruce Cohen said he saw “no smok-ing gun” in the evi-dence he heard, key
recommendations aim to limit the possible threat from aquacul-ture.
“Mitigation mea-sures should not be delayed in the absence of scientific certainty,” Cohen said, adding farms in the Discovery Islands of Johnstone Strait have potential to introduce exotic dis-eases and aggravate existing ones in wild fish.
H e a l s o re c o m -mended DFO no lon-ger be charged with promoting the salmon farming industry to prevent “divided loy-alties” or conflicts of interest from com-promising its duty to defend wild fish.
“As long as DFO has a mandate to promote salmon farming, there is a risk that it will act in a manner that favours the interests of the salmon farm-ing industry over the health of wild stocks.”
Critics have accused DFO of siding with the aquaculture industry while failing to protect wild stocks amid years of budget cuts and mis-management.
The industry con-tends it’s the victim of a vendetta by environ-mentalists who have alleged farm-linked virus infections in B.C. salmon that federal food inspectors have refuted.
If Cohen’s recom-mendations are fol-lowed, existing farms in the Discovery Islands could continue operations – unless the fisheries minister decides before 2020 that they pose a “more than minimal risk of seri-ous harm” to migrat-ing Fraser sockeye.
DFO should draw up new siting criteria for fish farms that take into account Fraser sockeye mig ration routes and the latest evidence on the risks to them, Cohen said.
“If existing salmon farms do not comply with revised siting criteria they should be promptly removed or relocated.”
B.C. Salmon Farming Association spokes-man Stewart Haw-thorn said only nine of 70 B.C. salmon farms are located in the Dis-covery Islands and
predicted the recom-mendations will have very limited impact on the industry.
“He’s particularly concerned about one small area,” he said. “We’re very happy to do more research there. Our farming practices are second to none.”
While the inquiry findings were being prepared, the federal government this year significantly down-graded habitat protec-tion laws and is now planning cuts to front-line DFO biologists.
C o h e n w a r n e d Ottawa further cuts to DFO are dangerous to B.C.’s iconic salmon species and run coun-ter to his key find-ing that much more research is needed.
“ T h e s h r i n k i n g resources of govern-ment, which may result in delays in imple-menting reforms and research, mean that the stressors to which sockeye are exposed and the deterioration of sockeye habitat will continue,” he said in the report.
He also criticized Ottawa’s move to alter
the environmental assessment process for major projects like oil pipelines.
Cohen called last spring’s legislative amendments “trou-bling” and said they appear to take DFO “in a very different direc-tion” from the advice of many experts in the field to protect fish habitat and promote biodiversity.
The re por t says sources of stress spe-cific to the Fraser – such as pollution and development – have likely played a role in the decline.
But he said troubled fisheries beyond the Fraser system suggest broader problems in marine waters play a big role.
“I heard enough evi-dence about warming waters to conclude that climate change is a significant stres-
sor for sockeye and in combination with other stressors, may determine the fate of the fishery.”
Cohen also urged the implementation of the 2005 Wild Salmon Pol-icy and provisions for no net loss of habitat.
L e a d i n g c o n s e r-vationists said they would have preferred an immediate aqua-culture ban but most hailed the report.
“He obviously didn’t hear enough to say ‘Get the nets out of the water,’” said Georgia Strait Alliance execu-tive director Christi-anne Wilhelmson. “But I think he came pretty close to saying that.”
She said the report offers a “solid plan” to restore Fraser salmon runs – if the federal gover nment imple-ments it and stops gutting research and habitat protection pro-
visions.“We have an ecologi-
cally ignorant federal government right now, so I’m wary,” Wilhelm-son said.
“Anyone who has skin in the game of sockeye salmon on the Fraser River has to put public pressure on this government in Ottawa to make sure this report gets legs and keeps moving,” added Sto:lo fisheries advisor Ernie Crey. “Or else it will surely sit on a shelf.”
The inquiry heard from more than 170 witnesses and sifted through more than 2,000 reports or other pieces of evidence.
Cohen was appointed by the federal gov-ernment after less than 1.5 million sock-eye returned in 2009, far fewer than the more than 10 million expected.

Freeze on fish farm expansion urged
agreed with the posi-tion she espoused that precaution should trump evidence.
In a blog blast to her followers Thursday, she shared the “good news” and “incredibly strong wording” in the report. She wrote: “The Cohen report (states that) salmon farms have the potential to import exotic viruses and amplify endemic ones. There should be an immediate freeze on farm salmon pro-duction on the Fraser sockeye mig ration route. DFO should be relieved of their duty to promote salmon farms.”
During the Cohen hearings more than a year ago, Morton main-tained that “the pattern of the Fraser sockeye collapse...is so stark I do not know how any-one could avoid apply-ing the precautionary principle to this situa-tion immediately. Only the sockeye that closely passed salmon farms collapsed.”
In her blog Morton
warns: “The Province of B.C. is in the pro-cess of renewing many salmon farm leases. If B.C. offers this indus-try long term leases, Justice Cohen’s rec-ommendations and our $26 million (com-mission budget) will be wasted.”
C a m p b e l l R ive r Mayor Walter Jakeway is not amused. “You don’t learn anything from a moratorium,” he told the Mirror. “It is not the answer. Salmon farming is a huge part of our eco-nomic base. We need to
let the industry grow and if there are prob-lems solve them.”
The Campbell River Chamber of Commerce was taking a more cau-tious approach. Presi-dent Colleen Evans said: “This is such an important sector. We need to better under-stand the implications of the report. It’s all about finding a bal-ance.”
B.C. Ag riculture Minister Norm Let-nick said the gov-ernment will review Cohen’s report closely. He said the province
wants to ensure there is a healthy sockeye salmon run and to play whatever role it can “to make that happen.” But NDP environ-ment critic Rob Flem-ing called the report a “very clear rejection” of the Harper Con-servatives’ approach to gut the scientific and research capacity of fisheries manage-ment on the coast.” Conservative Party leader John Cummins dismissed the Cohen report as a “complete and utter waste” of taxpayer dollars.

Felons at work on Shopper’s Row
Campbell River RCMP is asking for the public’s help to nail two Shopper’s Row felons.
On Oct. 22 at 7
p.m. a gas station employee in the 1300 block of Shopper’s Row was confronted by a person armed with a knife who demanded money. A small amount of cash was taken and the suspect fled north bound on
foot. The suspect is described as 5’9” with a slim build wearing a dark blue sweatshirt and blue jeans.
On the 25th in the 1000 block of Shopper’s Row a citizen was pushed to the ground and
had an undisclosed amount of cash stolen. The suspect, described as 5’9” with a stocky build wearing a dark hoody fled from the area on foot.
Anyone with information about either of these crimes is asked to contact Campbell River RCMP or Crimestoppers.
In the same week the Campbell River RCMP responded to 253 calls for service of which 16 involved citizens and 28 were property related. Police stopped eight drinking drivers including two who were charged with impaired driving. Three others received 90-day immediate roadside prohibitions and another three were issued 24-hour roadside suspensions.

Council has endorsed a city heritage program that includes three dif-ferent levels of protec-tion.
The city established a Community Heritage Register in 2008 to give heritage status to the Sybil Andrews Cottage, but the program has been somewhat idle up until now.
L a s t ye a r, To m McKenzie of the Wil-low Point Lions Club approached the city to request the Willow Point Hall be put on the Heritage Register. After a year of nego-tiations, council voted last week to have the old hall join the Sybil Andrews property on the register.
That prompted city staff to come to coun-cil with a recommen-dation that the city implement a heritage program with a three-pronged approach.
“Creating a heritage program provides local government with a recognized method of organizing and recog-
nizing the community’s heritage resources,” said Michele Sirett, the city’s recreation and culture supervisor, in a report to council. “Recognizing and pre-serving community heritage inspires a strong sense of pride and belonging in a community and raises community awareness around the local his-tory and culture.”
The proposed heri-tage program allows the city to group heri-tage sites into one of three categories, with different levels of pro-tection.
At the lower end of the spectrum is the C o m m u n i t y H e r i -tage Inventory, which informally identifies heritage resources, but provides no protection from alterations or demolition.
Up a level is the Com-munity Heritage Reg-ister, which formally identifies heritage val-ues.
However, similar to the Heritage Inven-tory, properties on the register do not have protection. To put a
property on the Heri-tage Register, council must vote in favour of a resolution to do so and a Statement of Sig-nificance is required detailing the heritage value of the site.
Also requiring a Statement of Signifi-cance is Community Heritage Designation, the highest level of the heritage program, which ensures long-term protection of a heritage resource through a city bylaw. To be given heritage designation, a State-ment of Significance is required, as is a Heri-tage Designation bylaw and public hearings.
Next steps for the city are developing a website and brochure to promote the heri-tage program, and to establish Statements of Significance for landmarks or build-ings that would like to join the heritage pro-gram. The advantage to a property owner is easy access to heritage funding grants through senior levels of gov-ernment and heritage organizations.
Coun. Larry Samson said the city will work towards adding to the heritage program.
“Staff are now going to be working on an inventory of heritage buildings in Camp-
bell River, which is a great thing – to protect heritage buildings like Haig-Brown House,” said Samson, who added a heritage site does not have to be a building. “One thing
they’re talking about is Big Rock down at the water because it has significance to our First Nations – the placement of the rock and how it got there.”
Sirett said she expects
the majority of the heritage sites, such as Big Rock, “will be rec-ognized at the inven-tory level and only a select few resources will make the designa-tion level.”

In the wake of the suicide of Grade 10 Coquitlam student Amanda Todd Vancou-ver Island teens are increasing their use of crisis line resources.
Heather Owen, Com-m u n i t y Re l at i o n s Coordinator of the Crisis Line Associa-tion of B.C., says there has been a noticeable increase in calls to cri-sis lines on the Island. “It’s like a light turning on,” she says. “Teens seem to be more aware that there are resources out there and that it is a good thing when they put those resources in play.”
Owen says that teens using social media have tended to be there for their friends but not stray out of their teen networks to seek help. Amanda has changed that, she says.
T h e a s s o c i at i o n coordinator says one example of a young person reaching out for help because of the Amanda Todd case occurred in Nanaimo where a teen used the TNT (Teens Network-ing Together) app to warn authorities about a distressed teen in the Fraser Valley. TNT is a joint project of the Crisis Society of Cen-tral Vancouver Island, the RCMP and School District #68 that is in its second year.
“Amanda has touched thousands of people and raised the issue of youth suicide causing many to ask if there is more they can be doing for those around them. We all have a role to play in being aware of the signs of suicide and responding when we see them,” Owen says.
“B.C.’s crisis lines provide over 3.7 million minutes of empower-ing, evidence based support each year to the people across the province. But even with that commitment and reach, there are still some who do not know of the critical
services crisis lines provide.”
T h e Va n c o u v e r Island crisis line num-ber is 1-888-494-3888. Professional certified crisis workers are available to provide support around bul-
lying, de pression, thoughts of suicide and other issues. In addition, several crisis lines also provide sup-port through online chat services so young people have a webbased way to reach out.
These services can be reached through www.northernyouthonline.ca or www.youthinbc.
ca.Here are some signs
that someone you know may need help:
■ Changes in behav-ior such as increased use of alcohol or other drugs, increased or decreased sleeping or eating, decreased selfcare;
■ A negative out-look with no positive future;
■ C h a n g e s i n mood, crying easily, depressed, frequently agitated or anxious;
■ Warnings such as saying “Life isn’t worth it” or “Things would be better if I were gone”; jokes, poems or art about suicide;
■ Preparations for death such as saying goodbye, making a will, giving away prized pos-sessions and talking about going away;
■ Impulsiveness without thought of risks or consequences;
outburst or aggres-sion;
■ Recent intentional self-harm or suicide attempts.
“If you recognize any of these signs in some-one or are concerned, it is important to know that talking can help. You can reach out and let the person know you care; be a support-ive listener; offer help by finding out who they can talk to – a rela-tive, counselor, teacher, clergy member, doctor or crisis centre,” Owen says.
“Never promise to keep a suicide plan secret. And remem-ber that 1-800-SUI-CIDE (1-800-784-2433) is available to anyone, anywhere, any time. Finally, take them to a hospital, mental health clinic or suicide pre-vention counselor if they cannot assure their own safety.”

The Campbell River RCMP detachment is extending an invita-tion to citizens to see how restorative justice programs work in B.C. communities.
To celebrate Restor-ative Justice Week Nov. 18 to 25, the RCMP Restorative Justice Program is inviting
the community to a viewing of its video “Planting the Seeds.” This RCMP production features a real com-munity justice forum. Program officials will be available to answer questions about the program.
The video will be shown Tuesday, Nov.
20 at 7p.m. at the RCMP Detachment at 275 South Dogwood Street. Those attend-ing must register first by calling 250- 286-5666 by Nov. 16.
Kristine Atkinson, Coordinator of the Restorative Justice Program, says: “The philosophy of restor-
ative justice is based on community healing. In other words, the com-munity decides what is best for itself in terms of resolving certain criminal matters.
“In the Campbell River, restorative jus-tice is an RCMP based program, supported by the City of Campbell River, that is utilized as an alternative to the court system in certain circumstances. When a first time offender is remorseful, coop-erative and admitting their role in the inci-dent, police officers or Crown counsel have the option of referring them to the restorative justice process.”

School District 72’s five-year wish list has some ambitious proj-ects on it that include making one more local school earthquake
proof.The Board of Educa-
tion approved the dis-trict’s five-year capital plan at a board meet-ing Oct. 16 which out-lines funding requests from the B.C. Ministry of Education for five
different projects. Top-ping the list is a heat-ing and ventilation upgrade at Pinecrest Elementary and the replacement of four school buses. Next on the list is a $6.1 million seismic project at Phoe-
nix middle school. Although the school
district would love to have all the projects funded, only some – or even none – will likely be approved.
“Our request for funding for the school district capital projects doesn’t mean they will be funded but it helps the ministry with understanding our priorities,” said Kevin Patrick, the district’s secretary treasurer. “The ministry will then take a list of pri-
orities from all the dis-tricts and decide what projects will be allo-cated funding. There’s a good chance none of the projects will be approved but we’re always hopeful at least one will be approved.”
The Phoenix project would be upgrading the school to meet the ministry’s seismic standards which are in place to ensure schools can withstand a power-ful earthquake.
Carihi and Southgate are the only district
72 schools that have undergone seismic upgrading while Tim-berline was built to seismic standards.
Patrick said Phoe-nix was deemed the next priority on the list according to the ministry, but it’s not a top priority when com-pared to schools across B.C.
“There have been facility reviews done for seismic standards and right now it’s not a high or medium priority, it’s a lower
priority as per the ministry’s plan,” Pat-rick said. “But it is something we’d like to see done. We don’t have a timeline for it, but we requested it in year three. It would be our hope to see it approved.”
Rounding out the dis-trict’s capital plan wish list are repairs to the building envelope at the school board office on Pinecrest Road and the installation of new fire sprinkler systems at several schools.

Residents can have their say into the city’s most recent waterfront property purchase next week when the city hosts its own public hearing.
The city will accept short presentations from the public, with a speakers list available before and during the hearing on Tuesday, Nov. 6 at 6:30 p.m. in the council chambers at city hall.
The meeting revolves around the city’s Oct. 1 purchase of land and a vacant house along the Island Highway.
“The city purchased the property at 503 Island Highway as part of the long-range parks plan,” said Dave Mor-ris, the city’s facilities manager. “The water-front property was pur-chased at its appraised value of $360,000.”
The city drew on reserves to purchase the property in a bid to expand Sequoia Park, which is across from the museum and boasts a Japanese Torii Gate – a 10th anniversary marker of the partner-ship between Campbell River and its sister city, Ishikari.
The city’s new water-front property is beside a second vacant city parcel of land next to Sequoia Park and the purchase falls in line with the Strategic Parks Plan, endorsed by council in 2006.
The plan recom-mended the city’s parks acquisition over the next ten years should focus on water-front property, with an emphasis on linear parks to support com-pletion of a waterfront trails system.
As part of a Febru-ary 2006 survey sent to 900 randomly selected households, residents were asked what they valued most about the
city’s parks system.The highest ranked
priority in the public survey was for public access to waterfront, and for trail access in general.
The city has com-mitted to purchasing existing waterfront homes and properties when able in order to turn them into public use areas.
Next week’s public hearing is to gather input on the re-zoning of the Island Highway property from Resi-dential One to Public Areas One.
Anyone who would like to speak on the re-zoning can sign up at the public hearing or in advance by call-ing city hall at 250-286-5700.

This week a provincial government emergency pre-paredness bureaucrat calmly explained why it took about 50 minutes for his staff to issue a tsunami alert
following last Saturday’s 7.7 magni-tude quake off Haida Gwaii.
Apparently, here in B.C. we needed every second of those 50 minutes to go through channels, check and dou-ble check to make absolutely sure it was actually an earthquake and not a rogue nuclear missile off course.
It was a quake for heaven’s sakes. What’s to verify?This information lag bears serious scrutiny in light
of the fact that officials with the West Coast Alaska
Tsunami Warning Centre sent out their first tsunami bulletin just minutes after the quake at 8:13 p.m. Then, they upgraded it to a tsunami warning for parts of the West Coast including B.C. three minutes later.
Not only that, the Americans confirmed that emer-gency officials in B.C. were on a West Coast conference call three minutes after the quake.
But our emergency muffins did not get around to issuing any sort of tsunami alert or advisory for another 40-plus minutes.
This very sad commentary on B.C.’s state of pre-paredness has reinforced the obvious: In the first min-utes and hours of a natural disaster we are all flying solo. Even though we are constantly reassured that
our governments have protocols, plans and resources in place to lessen the devastating impacts of natural disasters, we all know in our hearts that when the big one comes calling we are very much alone.
When it comes to taking personal responsibility to the extent possible, the Campbell River St John Ambu-lance is going the extra mile to help us be as indepen-dently prepared as possible.
The emergency backpacks the branch is selling for $66 are Provincial Emergency Program approved and very well equipped.
There is no way you could assemble the contents of this kit for that price. Do yourselves a favour and put one in your hall closet.
When the big one hits we must be preparedOur ViewOur View
Catch a wave and we’re sitting on top of the world
We say: Be aware that when it does we’re all flying solo
Consider Campbell River one big experiment in Keynesian economics over the next few years.
Here we have a community that used to be driven by big resource production: huge pulp and paper output, massive amounts of lumber, tons of salmon and truckloads of valuable minerals. Salmon Capital of the World? Campbell River was a resource extraction capital.
No longer. The mines are still pro-ducing, albeit at a reduced rate, but the lumber’s gone, the pulp and paper output is being dismantled as we speak and the fish are depleted.
The only thing replacing any of these big-money industries is salmon farming and after Wednesday’s Cohen Inquiry findings, don’t expect
it to reach the potential output it could have.
But despite that, the employment outlook for Campbell River over the next few years could be pretty rosy.
That’s because two massive con-struction projects are about to get underway and will generate – and I quote – a “jobs tsunami.” A massive wave of tradespeople, labourers, tech-nicians and, inevitably, engineers will wash upon our shores as work gets underway on the new hospital and the billion-dollar John Hart Dam upgrade by BC Hydro.
It will be one great big experiment in government stimulus. Invest gov-ernment money in infrastructure and the spinoff into the economy is massive, the theory goes. Well, we’re
going to prove or disprove that. Without a doubt, during the life
of these construction projects, the Campbell River economy will boom. All those workers – 400 or so on the hospital alone – will result in rental income, property purchases, grocery procurement and everything else to help a modern working Canadian get through their life. The projects will require supply purchases, much of which will be local. For every dollar invested in the projects, the spinoff will be multiplied two, three or more times.
The question will be, of course, does it have any staying power beyond the life of the construction projects? The curious thing about this economy is it’s one built on a one shot deal. The
unique thing is it’s a two-shot deal in this case thanks to a lucky conver-gence of aging infrastructure – a hos-pital that’s too small and out of date plus a dam that’s too old and doesn’t meet modern earthquake safety standards. Being old and rundown worked in Campbell River’s favour this decade.
But what happens after? Will this stimulate more permanent economic activity or do we slip into being a sleepy economic backwater? Will the spinoffs reach a critical mass that attracts investors and services that can feed on themselves rather than on these two projects? Time will tell.
We don’t usually write about a story but when I saw your piece on the ferry corporation and the bad press about how they operate, I had to respond.
We’ve been living on the Island for over nine years now and love it. We could have lived any where in the world but we chose to stay in Canada and we chose the island. I really want to emphasis chose because what we have noticed since coming here was that there are a lot of others who have done the same. We find the life style second to none, the people great and who can complain about this last summer.
My beef is with the people who constantly complain-ing about the ferry costs, the ferry corporation and that because we have to travel or not have to travel to the mainland the someone should pay for our privilege. We have one of the best systems in the world and the most reasonable. You only have to travel to U.S. via blackball ferries out of Victoria to see the difference. An old fleet and a higher price. Try traveling from the North Island to the South Island of New Zealand and see what you have to pay for that trip as a passenger on an old tub. It goes on and on, I remember when the government

totally ran the system and the attitude of the staff was totally differ-ent. We have three new ships now servicing us and the old boats still look pretty good.
No one rides for free, I’ve been on some of those boats at differ-ent times of the day, month year and they were almost empty, multiply that over the long haul and you can see the money being burned up. The smaller islands are even worse with ridership.
Again I emphasize choice. We choose to live here because it’s a great place to live and a great place to raise a family. If you don’t like it here then move to the Lower Main-land and see what that would cost you to raise your family.

Ferries: No one rides for free
I have had the opportunity to live in many places within Brit-ish Columbia and decided over 30 years ago to spend my golden years living in Campbell River.
During those years I have noticed a significant change and transformation of the demographics for Campbell River, in such that it is becom-ing more and more evident we are becoming a retirement com-munity, with just a side order of fishing, mining and forestry. Once our city council members stop wasting their time, and ours, in being toxic they need to move forward on how Camp-bell River will exist without the mills and industries that were... but I digress because that is a whole other issue.
My concerns lie around the inequality for residents living north of the Malahat. Campbell River is the halfway point for Vancouver Island. As everyone living here knows, we are about three hours from Victoria and three hours from Port Hardy. Most residents north of Camp-bell River come here to utilize a wide abundance of services
that may not be available or pro-vided on the northern part of the Island. This allows Camp-bell River to be the gateway to the north and yet organizations such as the Vancouver Island Health Authority (VIHA) fail to realize or acknowledge that.
The population of Vancouver Island is 765,849 and of that only 359,991 (47 per cent) live south of the Malahat. When the majority of the islands popula-tion lives north of the Malahat, why is it that Campbell Riveri-tes need to travel three hours (or those in Port Hardy have to travel six hours) south to utilize necessary health services? Why is it that we cannot be provided the same equality or funding that VIHA provides south of the Malahat? In particular, hospice services for end of life. According to a June 2010 press release on VIHA’s website, the Victoria Hospice would be pro-vided a seven year contract of $20 million dollars (this equates to $2.8 million a year), whereas, according to a March 2011 press release, the other nine hos-pices on the island would only
received a mere $11,700 each. Now does that seem fair to you? Should those of us outside of the greater Victoria area not have the same opportunities to stay close to family members and loved ones when our time is near?
A number of years ago Camp-bell River Hospital had two designated palliative care beds. These beds were put back into general use due to over crowd-ing at that hospital. We now have a new 95-bed hospital on the horizon and again with no concession or promise of pallia-tive care beds. I have heard that VIHA has promised that there will be 42 “end” of life beds across the Island and that those beds will be in designated to extended care facilities. Accord-ing to a news article I recently read in the Comox newspapers; Comox and Campbell River will receive only four tertiary beds and eight hospice beds for the north island. But VIHA will not come out and state where these beds will be located – Comox or Campbell River or both. With

In less than one week Prime Minister Ste-phen Harper could commit Canada to the most sweeping trade deal in a generation without a single debate or vote.
If the Canada-China FIPA passes, it will pave the way for Chi-na’s massive compa-nies to spend billions buying-out Canada’s natural resource com-panies. FIPA would
give foreign corpora-tions sweeping powers to sue Canadian gov-ernments for imple-menting common-sense environmental protections, investing in Canadian jobs, or for stopping the pro-posed Enbridge North-
ern Gateway pipeline and other projects like it. And worse, these lawsuits would hap-pen in secret tribunals outside Canadian legal channels.Under FIPA, China’s companies can sue Canadian govern-ments, federal, provin-
cial or municipal, if those governments do anything that would limit the companies’ profits in Canada.The FIPA would tie our hands for 31 years, making it possible for China’s companies to challenge Canadian
laws that create jobs, protect our environ-ment and build healthy communities with billion-dollar lawsuits that would cost tax-payers dearly.Canada has already spent hundreds of millions on penalties from law-suits launched under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), and right now Belgium is facing a $3 billion suit from one of China’s compa-nies because of a simi-lar foreign investor agreement.Why would Prime Minister Harper lock us into this secre-tive and extreme deal? It’s short terms gains for long-term pain, and Canadians and Chinese alike have a right to have a say in the decisions that will shape our lives.
Take action: Write to your MP John Dun-can at [email protected]. or contact the Prime Minister via his Twitter site.

It is very plain to me that this Canada/China Trade Agree-ment is a win, win for China and a lose, lose for Canada. As a Cana-dian Citizen I demand to know why this is taking place.
Where are our Mem-bers of Parliament and Members of the Legislative Assembly who have been elected by Canadian Citizens to represent us and to
care take and protect our natural resources and precious water and air quality.
We have what China needs and wants. If we hold all the cards, why is there such a rush to implement this trade agreement? This, in my opinion, is not free trade, it is not fair trade. This is fear trade. Why?
This federal govern-ment, as well as pro-vincial governments, have abrogated their fiduciary obligations to practice democracy and to retain sover-
eignty on behalf of its citizens and I believe this abrogation is tan-tamount to treason. Treason, “the violation or betrayal of the alle-giance that a person owes his sovereign or his country.”
Mr. Duncan, playing “follow the leader” makes you no less of a traitor.
On the cusp of Nov. 11 the one single day that we cease doing our usual daily activi-ties and pause to pray for and thank Cana-dian Soldiers and all soldiers around the
world who fought and died on foreign soils to keep Canada and the world free from politi-cal domination, your gover nments have despoiled their efforts, their deaths rendered meaningless as a result. Perhaps you could consider delay-ing the signing of this Canada/China fiasco of a Trade Agreement until Nov. 11 and really twist the sword a lit-tle deeper – the same sword that Stephen Harper used with one single swipe to sign this agreement. Need-
less to say, our soldiers are still fighting and dying around the world for what? The domina-tion of oil resources to make the already wealthy and powerful even more so?
John Duncan it is time for you and your fellow MPs and MLAs to step up to the plate and prove your loyalty to Canada and its Citi-zens.
John Duncan, it is time for you to finally take a stand and implement your motto “Committed to Serv-ing the Constituents
of Vancouver Island North.”
Bad things happen when good people do nothing.
I am submitting this letter in good faith with the very slight glimmer of hope that you and your fellow MPs and MLAs might just listen.
But then, who do I think I am? Who I am is a very concerned and caring Canadian Citizen who, so far, has the right to express my opinion.

Campbell River as the gateway to the north, and dealing with the largest geog raphi-cal area, it would be an utter shame if we ended up without, again! In looking at the Stats Canada numbers, it shows that Campbell River has approxi-mately 34 per cent of its population age 55 and over, and this does not take into account the communities north of us or Quadra and Cortes Islands, all of whom utilize Camp-bell River health and hospice services.
Wouldn’t it be nice, if we received the same services and opportu-nities as those who live in the greater Victoria area? And, wouldn’t it be nice if we weren’t pitted against and have to compete against the needs of the Comox Valley?

School District 72 recently received a funding boost from the provincial govern-ment.
An injection of $625,000 will go towards new staffing positions as well as training for teachers during Pro-fessional Development (Pro-D) Days.
The funds come from the B.C. Education Ministry’s $165 mil-lion Learning Improve-ment Fund, which was announced last spring and built up with sav-ings from the teacher’s strike last school year.
T he money for-warded to School Dis-trict 72 was allocated to both CUPE (Cana-dian Union of Public Employees) workers and teachers.
A total of $146,112 went to CUPE to pay an additional 36 work-ing minutes each week between 119 Education Assistants in schools.
“This additional time shall be used for consultation on IEP’s (Individualized Edu-cation Plans for those with special needs),
safety plans, debrief-ing and collaboration,” said Superintendent Tom Longridge, in his report to the board of education.
CUPE also received funding for two new, 25-hour per week edu-cational assistant posi-tions, and one 20-hour per week educational assistant. Money was also allocated to bump up one educational assistant’s working week by five hours.
Teachers were allo-cated $478,887 from the Learning Improvement Fund to add one full-time elementary coun-sellor, a behavioural resource teacher, as well as a part-time instructional support teacher and a support coordinator. A part-
time literacy/numer-acy teacher and an academic intervention instructor were also funded.
L o n g r i d g e s a i d $52,641 will go towards teacher training on Pro-D day to address challenges in the class-room.
The funds will “pro-vide training to teach-ers for FASD (Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder), behavioural intervention strate-gies, autism training, and non-violent crisis intervention training,” Longridge said.
The final portion allo-cated to teachers will build up a 30 per cent reserve for the second semester of this school year “to support staff-ing needs that arise for
the second semester.”Funding was spread
out based on discus-sions with all the schools in the district last spring and again in the fall, to deter-mine where there was the most need.
The Learning Edu-cation Fund doubled from $30 million to $60 this year due to a prov-ince-wide operational savings of $37 million thanks to last March’s three-day teacher walk-out.
The first $60 was dis-tributed last month, while a further $60 mil-lion will be allocated to the fund in 2013-14, and $75 million will be injected in 2014-15 and each year after that, as per the 2012 education budget.

Campbell River Mayor Walter Jakeway is miffed that city man-agement has awarded a website redesign contract to a Vancouver company.
“The optics are terrible,” the mayor fumed Thursday. “This was purely a decision of the city man-ager. City council had no say in the matter.”
The city has announced that its website redesign will be awarded to Graphically Speaking, a Van-couver firm with “a successful his-tory of municipal website develop-ment.”
Laura Ciarniello, the city’s gen-eral manager of corporate ser-vices, says: “In an online survey this spring, web users told us how best to reach them electronically. They were particularly keen to have improved search and naviga-tion functions on the city’s website for better access to online infor-mation, and we look forward to unveiling an enhanced web pres-ence in late spring 2013.”
The city received 12 submissions for the project which were evalu-ated based on technical solutions, history of critically-acclaimed municipal website development, SharePoint experience, project team and references, vision for the City website and budget. Quotes
for the work ranged from $93,400 to $20,030. Graphically Speaking’s bid was $56,993.00.
“While some proponents sub-mitted lower budget numbers, they received lower scores in other evaluation criteria,” Ciarn-iello says. “Graphically Speaking offered the best overall value for the city with expertise in Share-Point, the current website plat-form, and extensive experience and excellent references for devel-oping and upgrading municipal websites.”
But Jakeway says more effort should have been made to iden-tify a local provider of website services. He is also upset that city council has “no say in spend-ing decisions under $100,000. It’s crazy,” he says.
Ciarniello says the submissions were evaluated by city staff rep-resenting Communications, Cor-porate Services, Fire Department, Information Services and Supply Management. The four top-scoring proponents were invited to give a presentation on their proposal. Graphically Speaking has recently developed websites for: Richmond, Esquimalt, Ladysmith and Coquit-lam.
Campbell River City Council endorsed developing a new web-site for a maximum cost of $57,900 during 2012 financial plan delib-erations.

There is a one in seven chance
that a Canadian man will be
diagnosed with prostate cancer
at some point during his
lifetime.
Those elevated incidence rates
could be a byproduct of an
aging population, as age is a
significant risk factor for
prostate cancer. According to
the Prostate Cancer Foundation,
one in 10,000 men under age 40
will be diagnosed with prostate
cancer. That figure skyrockets
to one in 38 for men between
the ages of 40 to 59, and one in
15 for men in their 60s.
There are a host of factors in
addition to age that increase a
man’s risk for prostate cancer,
which the Canadian Cancer
Society says will claim the lives
of more than 4,000 Canadian
men this year.
Where you live plays a role in
developing prostate cancer.
Men who live in cities north of
40 degrees latitude have the
highest risk of dying from
prostate cancer, and researchers
feel this is because men who
live in such cities get less
sunlight during the winter
months and therefore less
vitamin D.
Race is another risk factor for
prostate cancer. Asian men have
the lowest risk of developing
prostate cancer, while African-
American men are 60 percent
more likely to develop the
disease than Caucasian men.
The PCF notes that African-
American men are also 2.5
times more likely to die from
the disease, which highlights
the importance that African-
American men must place on
screenings.
Family history also plays a role
in a man’s risk for developing
prostate cancer. Men whose
fathers or brothers have had
prostate cancer are twice as
likely to develop the disease.
Their risk increases even more
if their fathers or brothers were
diagnosed with the cancer
before reaching the age of 55 or
if they had three or more family
members who were diagnosed
with prostate cancer.
Research into prostate cancer is
ongoing and continues to
unearth new information
regarding this potentially
deadly disease. The PCF notes,
for instance, that the risk factors
for aggressive version of this
type of cancer can differ from
the risk factors for slow-
growing cancers. As a result,
risk factors that were once not
linked to prostate cancer are
now being linked to aggressive
forms of the disease. Smoking,
for example, might be a risk
factor for aggressive prostate
cancer, as is a diet void of
vegetables. Neither factor,
however, is thought to increase
a man’s risk of slow-growing
prostate cancer. Additional risk
factors for aggressive prostate
cancer include height (tall men
might have an elevated risk)
and living a sedentary lifestyle.
Many men are aware of the
importance of prostate cancer
screenings. However, few might
know that certain factors
significantly increase their risk
for being diagnosed with this
potentially deadly disease.
More information about
prostate cancer is available at
www.pcf.org.

No patio. No bal-cony. No south facing window?
That doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy pick-ing a few fresh greens grown right in your living room this win-ter. You can start by buying a bag of tur-nips from the farmer’s market or health food store. Eat some of them chopped in strips and enjoy their mellow crispness. Shredded, they make a wonderful addition to your salad. Slice them in wedge shapes and roast them crisp with a bit of olive oil and a dash of Cajun pepper.
Now, for the secret of growing fresh greens. Take a few of the smaller turnips and place them in an attractive container, toss in some dirt and stick the pot in a win-dow corner. Miracu-lously, using only their stored energy the turnips will begin sprouting delicious greens, even if the light is insufficient. It is amazing. Just make sure the turnips have not been dipped in wax. If you do have a south facing window
save it for your pre-cious winter herbs and find an east or west facing window for your newest exper-iment in winter food production.
There is still time to plant a few herbs and veggies in Novem-ber. Broad beans, also known as favas, are a highly nutritious vegetable. They are useful as a replace-ment for gar-banzo beans in hummus or as a base for pestos and soups. If you plant them this month you’re going to need a very sheltered part of the garden. A cold frame or a cloche would be ideal to pro-tect them for the next few chilly months. Just be warned…they will grow up to six feet so you may find them bursting through the roof of the average cold frame.
Another plant that is more than willing to prevail despite bone chilling rain and fro-zen ground is garlic.
There is still time to plant this pungent friend according to the WestCoast Garden-ing Guide. Garlic is a bulb that requires nine or ten months of growth. It will be July or August before harvesting. When you finally lift your very own home grown garlic from the warm summer earth you’ll know the long wait
was worth it. Did You
Know That…it’s the right time to mulch your perennials with wood chips, leaves, straw and kelp? Don’t
dig deeply around your plants as it dis-turbs the microbio-logical relationship of the plants with the other growth surrounding them. Remember to mulch, mulch, mulch before winter really sets in. Also wood chips are preferred to bark mulch as the chips have more nutrients and decompose more readily.

Each spring, Campbell River Special Olympians, volunteers, family, friends and Knights of Columbus walk, roll and wheel chair from Rotary Beach Park to Hidden Harbour and back to raise funds.
In the four years that the Knights have organized the local event, over $17,000 of pledged Walkathon for Special Olympics monies has been raised to benefit the Camp-bell River Chapter of Special Olympics. All the money stays
right here in Campbell River to help pay for facility rentals, equipment, travel expenses, uniforms and the like for our athletes.
The Knights of Columbus have a longstanding relation-ship with the Special Olym-pics, which enriches the lives of people with an intellectual disability through sport. Inter-nationally, over the past 40 years the Knights of Colum-bus have raised over $382 mil-lion for Special Olympics and
other programs for people withintellectual and/or physicaldisabilities.

The city is forecasting a $3.6 million budget shortfall for 2012, according to preliminary fig-
ures.That’s up substantially from the last estimated budget deficit of $550,000 back in December.The picture looks bleaker now because of a change in the prop-
erty assessment value of the defunct Catalyst mill site. The BC Assessment Authority announced early last month that Catalyst no longer meets the requirements of a major industrial property, and
has been reclassified as business/other, which means a significant reduction in Catalyst’s property taxes.That decision results in a loss of $1.8 million in tax revenue for
2012. Included in the deficit is a $1.1 million tax shortfall carried over from 2011, plus a $1.3 million increase in costs related to con-tract commitments and inflation-ary increases, said Laura Ciarn-iello, the city’s general manager of corporate services.If the city were to maintainthe current level of services it provides to citizens, the tax rate would have to increase by 24 per cent in order to make up the $3.6 million.
The loss of $1.8 million fromCatalyst alone, equates to a 12 per cent residential tax increase.To put that into perspective, Ciarniello said a one per cent res-idential tax increase would bring in $150,000 in revenue for the city. That one per cent increase would mean roughly $12 more per year in property taxes for the average homeowner.
The city’s operating budget isapproximately $37 million which

Miss Daisy, a black lab and collie mix, looks up lovingly with puppy dog eyes as her foster mother strokes her dark fur coat.
Miss Daisy is calm, adjusted and smaller in size than your typical lab, and is just one of several dogs that have been dropped off at the Vancouver Island Dogs Rescue Society. She’s been staying with her foster mom, Shannon Briggs, for more than a month and Miss Daisy is ready to be adopted by a family from Vic-toria.
That’s typical for the Vancouver Island Dogs Rescue Society, which has adopted out more than 20 rescue dogs since it was officially incorporated in March of this year. Dogs are usually adopted out anywhere from between one to two weeks or up to four months after they go into the rescue society’s care.
The non-profit society has a working relation-ship with a pound in Chilliwack and another in Victoria, and if the shelters are unable to take the dog, they will rely on the rescue soci-ety, which takes dogs from all over the coun-try, mostly from the Island and Alberta.
The society is made up of a five-member
volunteer board. Briggs and a second board member live in Camp-bell River while one is from Nanaimo and two are based in Victoria.
The society also receives re fer rals through the shelters, as well as through word of mouth.
As a non-profit soci-ety, Vancouver Island Dogs Rescue relies on fundraising to keep the society afloat. One of its biggest fundrais-ers, a burger and beer night with a silent auc-tion, will be held Nov. 13, 7 p.m. at River City Grill.
Though the society is committed to giving dogs a second chance in a new home, Briggs says the number one goal of the society is to try and work with pet owners to help them keep their dog. How-ever, sometimes that’s not possible, whether it be due to a growing family and a lack of space, or a case of the owner not having the proper skills to deal with the dog. And that’s where the rescue soci-ety comes in.
Brig gs says one particular breed, the Siberian husky, pres-ents a classic case of an owner not knowing how to deal with their dog.
“We accept any breed but our focus is on Sibe-rian huskies,” Briggs says. “Huskies are
known for their love-able trait of destroying things. People get them because they’re beauti-ful but they don’t have the skills to work with them. They’re a work-ing breed bred origi-nally to pull sleds and run, so when they’re cooped up in a crate or a kennel, they go really crazy. They need to be ran.”
Briggs says often people, after buying a
husky, quickly realize they aren’t able to han-dle their dog and will bring it to the rescue society.
From there, the dog will either go into a fos-ter home or be adopted out. Briggs says foster homes are one of the most valuable aspects of the society, which exists to re-home and rehabilitate abandoned dogs.
“We’re always looking
for foster homes. We can only bring in as many dogs as we have fos-ter homes for,” Briggs says. “The fosters have the first option all the time of keeping the dog because most of the time people build bonds with them and they decide it’s their dog and they want to keep it.”
Foster parents, as well as adoptive parents, are matched up with a dog
that will fit their family and lifestyle through a rigourous screening process that includes a questionnaire form, and a home visit.
Foster homes are typ-ically the first stage, and, according to Briggs, many are deal-ing with dogs that have “some issues and need a lot of work.” Fos-ter parents that don’t intend on keeping their dog release the canine
for adoption and are then available to take in another dog in need of care.
Briggs says it’s truly the volunteers, like the foster parents, that make the organization go ‘round.
A group of ladies have been sewing dog beds and selling them through the society’s Facebook page, www.facebook.com/Vancou-verIslandDogsRescue-Society with all pro-ceeds going to the soci-ety, which needs fund-ing on a regular basis for veterinarian care for the dogs, including vaccinations, spaying and neutering. The society is also selling First Aid kits through Facebook. Simply click on Photos, Albums, and Our Store to view the items up for sale. The burger and beer night at River City Grill will also go towards the society’s operating costs. Tickets are $25 per person and all pro-ceeds go to the society. Anyone who would like to donate to the silent auction can contact Briggs at [email protected]

I was stopped in my tracks whilst walking last week as a flock of “honking” trumpeter swans flew overhead in a perfect “V” for-mation.
Each year the arrival of these magnificent birds her-a l d s t h e o n s e t o f winter, and their depar-ture in mid April sig-n a l s t h e arrival of s p r i n g . First identi-fied in 1850 in Alaska, the trumpeter swans are the largest water-fowl found in North America.
The “cobs” or male swans measure 1.8 metres from tail to beak, with a wingspan of three metres and weighing 12.7 kg.
The smaller “pen” or female weigh an
average of 10 kg. Unlike domesticated
“mute” swans that have orange beaks, the trumpeter swans have black beaks, legs and feet.
Trumpeter swans mate for life and are
spectacular to watch, espe-cially in the spring when they perform their mating rituals which include bal-letic dances.
Adult swans have white plumage, the juvenile swans
have grey plumage, their legs and feet are a brownish yellow and their beaks are pink.
Sometimes their heads will be tinged with orange from the minerals in the water they forage in.
Once hunted for their feathers and h i d e s t h a t we re
prized for hats, boas and other fashionable
goods, they also pro-vided valuable food.
The Migratory Bird Act was put into place in 1918 which put an end to swan hunting; in 1932 their numbers were reduced to a
mere 69 birds. As a result of the
restrictions of swan hunting, their num-bers have continued to improve and in 2008 populations were esti-mated to be at 16,000.
Last year between December 6 and Feb-ruary 24 an average of 2,300 swans were counted on a weekly basis by the Comox Valley Naturalists swan monitors.
This society has been monitoring the swans with a weekly count every Tuesday, as part of the Comox valley Waterfowl Man-agement Program to manage the swans on local farmland.
According to the naturalists, swans can rival the cows for daily food consump-tion on farm lands.
The West coast winter swan habitat ranges from Sumas and North West Wash-ington including Van-couver, as well as the east coasts of central and southern Vancou-ver Island.
Northern B.C. and Alaska provide their breeding and summer habitat.
During their win-ter stay in the Comox Valley and parts of Campbell River, they dine on a variety of
field crops includ-ing hay, corn, peren-nial grasses seeds and tubers including marsh and wetland vegetation.
Habitats for our local swan popula-tions include agri-cultural farm lands, wetlands and estuar-ies, also the shallow waters around the Goose Spit.
Arriving at their winter grounds with the young juveniles the swans have only a few short months to prepare and be in top flying condition to make the arduous spring migration back to the far north.
Often when the swans ar rive in Alaska and other norther n grounds they are faced with frozen water and snow still on the ground; this makes their need to breed even more urgent as they have to build their nest, pro-duce their eggs and hatch their young.
Nests are built or old nests reused, and

are often found on vegetation in shallow water; hatching of the cygnets coincides with the explosion of the insect population upon which the young feed for the first few weeks of their life.
There are many predators for the young swans includ-ing eagles, owls and mink, but there are also many other dan-gers as they fly south and arrive in our area. Like all wild-life, human impact is the greatest peril fac-ing the swans as our habitat continues to encroach upon theirs. Each year another p o t e n t i a l h a z a r d arises; obviously it appears they will be at greater risk for any oil
spills or other water pollutants with the proposed expansion of pipelines. Migra-tion takes a huge toll on the young if they run out of stored fat supplies; we often see
them at M.A.R.S. ema-ciated and in need of a short stay to fatten them up so they can be released back to the flock. We have a special secure swan pond enclosure where swans are kept until
they are ready for release, they are able to preen and clean themselves; fortu-nately last year we had few swans in care. The swan’s huge wingspan make them victims of electrocution by high
wires as often they are disoriented by fog
and do not get enough height to clear the wires, we thank B.C. Hydro for helping with this issue by adjusting wires for both swans and eagles. Another hazard presents itself under the water when the swans forage for roots, in some areas left over lead lurks in the mud from old hunting practices and the swans ingest the poison into the giz-zard which it paraly-ses, causing fatal star-vation. This is easy to identify as the swan “spins” in the water before drowning. You can also help by keep-
ing dogs on a leash andaway from the water’sedge when there areswans or other seabirds close to shore.The Comox Valley isa major winter desti-nation for migratorybirds that dine on ourabundant food sup-plies and we need toprotect this habitat.For more informa-tion, The Comox Val-ley Naturalist alsohas a web site, www.comoxvalleynatural-ists.bc.ca

Introducing
HAPPY APPY DAYS1/2 Price Appy’s • Mon to Thurs 4-6pm
with purchase of a beverage.
Tim (whose real name has been with-held at his request) has been clean and sober for just more than one year.
“I managed to get a good grip on sobriety and keep it and a big part of that is thanks to Second Chance,” he said.
Tim did the 28-day Supportive Recovery program at the Sec-ond Chance Recov-ery House for men in Campbell River. Before that, he spent many years of his life controlled by his addiction to alcohol.
He would often wake up having slept out-doors the night before and he had no money and no food.
“It was too much work to keep going on like that day after day,” he said.
“I was hungry, I lost so much weight, as much as possible without being dead, the next step was death.”
In fact, when he finally made it to the hospital for help, the doctor told his fam-ily to make funeral ar rangements for
him. But Tim pulled
through and attended a detox program in another Island com-munity.
When it came time to look at options for longer term treat-ment, he wanted a smaller program.
Campbell River’s Second Chance Recov-ery House fit the cri-teria as there are only 10 beds – four for Cri-sis Stabilization and six for Supportive Recovery.
“I didn’t want to be in with 60 people and I wanted accountabil-ity,” he said.
“This place was perfect for me. The feel of the place was great; there was more one on one time with staff.”
S e c o n d C h a n c e Executive Director Tessera Brooks said many of the clients often comment on how surprised they are to find such a home-like environ-ment when they come to the facility.
Like many families, the residents at Sec-ond Chance have daily chores to complete,
including washing dishes, vacuuming, cleaning bathrooms and mopping floors. One client will help a staff member with the weekly grocery shopping.
“It’s all part of the recovery process, to help them develop life skills,” said Brooks.
The men also attend twice daily support groups Monday to Friday and one group Saturday morning.
This is in addition to the five out of house AA or NA meetings they are required to attend each week.
During the groups the men will learn about the 12-step recovery process, boundaries, co-depen-dency, communication skills, mindfulness, self-esteem, different kinds of relapse trig-gers, and anger man-agement while iden-tifying trauma and behaviours that led to their addictions.
The clients also complete an after care plan so they will know where they are going to live, who their sponsor is and what AA or NA meet-
ings they will regu-larly attend.
It also includes appointments with other components of their support net-work, including Men-tal Health and Addic-tions Services, Psy-chiatrists, Doctors, therapists and Diabe-tes or Liver Clinics.
The men also include a back to work/school plan, budgets and family visitations/therapy sessions.
As part of his after care plan, Second Chance staff helped Tim find transitional housing through the Salvation Army.
He has also been see-ing a counsellor regu-larly at Mental Health and Addictions Ser-vices and attends AA meetings.
“I’m very grateful to have been at Sec-ond Chance, the staff was great,” he said. “I didn’t keep track of time at all, I was sad-dened when my time was up.”
But like all past cli-ents, Tim is still able to attend the support groups or just drop in for a visit with staff.
Brooks noted that
in the past year Sec-ond Chance had 287 contacts with past cli-ents who attended the daily support groups and 410 contacts with past clients who vis-ited or phoned Second Chance.
Tim said having the structure and stabil-ity of being able to come back for the regularly scheduled groups is a large part of his maintained sobriety.
“His presence is also important to the newer clients,” said Brooks.
“They get to see that success is possible. And now that Tim has a foundation in recov-ery, he can explore educational goals and work options.”
Tim does in fact work part time and he now has his own apartment.
And he has recon-
nected with family members who he was estranged from because of his drink-ing.
“Now it’s great, we have a really good relationship,” he said. “My head is out of the clouds and I can see options for the future.”
If you or a loved one needs help with addictions and would like to be referred to Second Chance, you can contact the Crisis Nurses at the Camp-bell River Hospital at 250-850-2647 (for detox) or Mental Health and Addictions at 250-850-2620 (for 28 or 45-day supportive recovery).
If you would like to help Second Chance, cash donations are welcome or they are currently in need of new or gently used single bed comforters and winter coats.
With the holidays approaching, they will need gifts for the men who will spend Christmas there. Suggested gift ideas include new hood-ies, t-shirts, scarves, gloves, toques, sweat pants, slippers, day-timers or calendars, baseball hats and wal-lets.
Ideas for stock-ing stuffers include razors, socks, Tim Horton’s gift cards, underwear, choco-lates, candy, gum, toothbrushes, tooth-paste, floss, nail clip-pers, hair brushes and unscented (no Irish Spring or Axe) shav-ing cream/deodor-ant/shampoo/soap/body wash.
Donations can be dropped off at Second Chance at 647 Birch Street or call 250-830-1103 to arrange for pick up.

Ted passed away peacefully in the presence of family in Campbell River on Monday October 29, 2012 at the age of 85.
Predeceased by son David (Debbie) and daughter Juanita (Lorne). Ted is survived by wife Faye of 65 years son Grant (Kim), daughter Carrol (Jim), and Marty (Cindy); grandchildren Allan, Michelle, Corey, Jodi, Aaron, Jolene, Clayton, Sarina, Richard, Adam, Cole and Taylor; thirteen great grandchildren, as well as many nieces and nephews.
Ted was born in Armstrong B.C. to Theron and Winifred Warner. Being raised with six siblings during hard times gave him his solid family values and strong will. Ted met the love of his life, Faye in 1946 and they married in 1947. After living and working throughout the interior of B.C. they settled in Campbell River in 1955, and raised fi ve children.
Ted was a hard worker and his jobs included logging, bar tending at the old Willows Hotel, managing the Quinsam bar for 15 years, commercial fi shing and returned to his “favourite job” driving truck.
Ted enjoyed the outdoors. Hunting and fi shing at times a necessity to help feed the family but later became a passionate recreation.
When he retired, woodworking and “beach combing” were some of his many hobbies. Ted loved road trips, short and long. In later years he became Jim’s co-pilot traveling across the country. With a new knee he put many miles on the sea walk enjoying the sites and the visits. Watching and sharing in his grandchildren growing up became his fi nal love.
Always Ted will be missed and in our hearts forever.The family would like to express a special thank you
to all the medical staff of the Campbell River Hospital and Dr. Ramsey.
A celebration of life will be held on Sunday, November 4th 1:00pm - 3865 Discovery Drive.

A change in the property assess-
ment value of the defunct Cata-
lyst Elk Falls pulp mill is going
to result in a 2012 tax revenue loss
to Campbell River in the range of
$1.8 million, City Manager Andy
Laidlaw said Tuesday.
If that loss was transferred
directly to residential taxpayers,
they would be required to pay 12
per cent more in property tax this
year, Laidlaw estimates.
But Campbell River Mayor Wal-
ter Jakeway is determined there
will be no property tax hikes for
homeowners this year.
In an interview prior to the
Catalyst notification from the BC
Assessment Authority (BCAA) he
said: “My personal intention is to
have a zero per cent tax increase
in 2012. That’s my personal goal
and I’m sure I can bring a few
other councillors along with me
without having to cut services too
badly.”The BCAA announced Tues-
day that the equipment removal
at the former Catalyst Elk Falls
pulp and paper mill means it
no longer meets the legislative
requirements for a major indus-
trial property.
“This will result in a decrease
of approximately $45 million dol-
lars in the major industry classi-
fication,” says BCAA Vancouver
Island Regional Assessor Bill
MacGougan.The city manager set the stage

The Campbell River United Church is host-ing an Introduction to the Welcoming Prayer workshop at the church on Saturday, Nov. 3 from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m.
T h e We l c o m i n g Prayer is a method of consenting to God’s presence and action in our physical and
emotional reactions to events and situa-tions in daily life. This retreat will provide a clear understanding, through practice, for deepening our relation-ship with God. It will be helpful for anyone wanting to enrich their meditation practice, but will be most useful
to those who have some experience with Center-ing Prayer or any other Christian meditation method.
The retreat leader is the Rev. Bill Laurie, a United Church min-ister who is a trained teacher of Centering Prayer and The Wel-coming Prayer. The par-
ticipant’s fee is $30, pay-able at the beginning of the workshop. Tea and coffee will be provided and participants are asked to bring a bag lunch. Please pre-regis-ter with Elaine Julian at 250-830-1654.
T h e We l c o m i n g Prayer helps us to deepen our relationship
with God by consenting in the ordinary activi-ties of our day. It con-tributes to the process of transformation in Christ initiated in Cen-tering Prayer and helps to heal the wounds of a lifetime by addressing them where they are stored in the body. The result is a deep, gentle
and gradual transfor-mation at the personal level.
For more information about The Welcoming Prayer and Centering Prayer visit the web-site, www.contempla-tiveoutreach.org or phone Julian at the number above.
This workshop is
hosted by the AdultChristian EducationCommittee of theCampbell River UnitedChurch. The UnitedChurch is at the cornerof Pinecrest and SouthBirch, just down the hillfrom Strathcona Gar-dens. Sunday morningworship and SundaySchool is at 10 a.m.

Over 137,000 BC children are growing up in poverty.
BC had the highest rate of child poverty for eight years in a row.
It’s past time for the BC government to catch up with other provinces and create a comprehensive poverty reduction plan for BC families.
Because there are no band-aid solutions to child poverty.

Business of the Week
Carihi headed to the North Island Soc-cer Championship on Tuesday in Nanaimo amid pouring rain and grey clouds.
T h e m i s e r a b l e weather and constant rain forced the venue to change from Kwali-cum recreation fields to the artificial turf at Merle Logan.
Fortunately that was the only bad news on a day when the Tyees per-formed in admirable fashion in recording two hard fought wins over Shawnigan Lake and Francis Kelsey.
The first game saw the Carihi boys start in tremendous fashion earning a two goal lead in the opening 20 min-utes. The first came via an keeper error as Carter Coblenz whipped in quality corner which was too much for the advanc-ing goalkeeper.
The Tyees main-tained constant pres-sure and deservedly scored a second with an excellent finish from James Kruetziger from a quality pass from dane Belle Oudry. The Campbell River boys continued to play well but gave up a goal shortly before the half to go with at 2-1 lead.
The second half was a more even affair. Carihi missed a few oppor tunities but failed to capitalize. The final few min-utes of the game saw Shawnigan put some serious pressure on the Tyee defence but they stood strong with Belle Oudry winning a couple of crucial head-ers from some late cor-ners.
The second game saw Tyee Collin Massie record a shut out and a strong defensive per-formance was provided in front of him with Belle Oudry, Aiden Anderson, Kellen Ron-deau and Alexandre Desrochers working well as a unit and ably supported by Jordan Nelson and Tyler Kelly.
Once again the boys
made a dream start with two superbly taken goals via fast counter attacking moves. Zach Tilla-paugh was the provider on both ocassions, firstly a fine cross for Kevin Shelswell and secondly an excellent cut back pass for Foge to score his second of the tournament.
The Tyees could have added more but for a stellar performance from the Francis Kelsey goalkeeper. As with the previous game the second half proved more even but the mid-field of Coblenz, Tilla-paugh, Shelswell, Foge and ever ready battery that is Jason Fawkes were solid and gave little away.
Day two saw a return to Nanaimo as the rains continued to pour and any prospect of returning to Kwa-likum to complete the tournament on grass was ended with the overnight downpour.
The final game of the round robin was a semi final as both Carihi and Kwalikum High School had won their previous two games in pool play.
The slight edge went to Kwalikum as they had a superior goal difference and conse-quently only needed a draw. Previous games between the two teams had resulted in two narrow wins for Kwa-likum. It was an excel-lent game between two finely balanced teams.
Both teams defended with caution and looked to counter attack with pace when possible. The half time saw both teams tied at 0-0.
The second half saw Kwalikum have their best spell. It seemed they had that extra yard of space and they created a couple of close chances.
Their best two came within seconds of each other. Firstly, it took a technically superb and courageous save from Tyee keeper Massie to save a certain goal
when he flung himself toward the ball and opponent in order to save a certain goal. A continuation of that play saw the ball end up at the feet of anothetr Kwalikum forward.
Defender Desrochers made an equally brave save to prevent the ball going in with a superb tackle.
Ironically minutes later the deadlock was broken by Carihi. Forward Kruetziger chased what looked like a hopeless cause. His tenacity won the ball back and Foge who had made a tremen-dous run from mid-field headed toward the topof the six yard box where he met the superb cross played in from Kruetziger for the crucial opening goal.
Within 10 minutes the Tyees had doubled their lead with another fast counter attack with a similar pattern
of play. This time it was
Tillapaugh making the strong run down the right before whipping in a quality cross for the onrushing Foge to score once again. Overall an excellent win against a strong Kwalikum outfit.
The Final saw the Tyees match up against the highly touted Gulf Islands.
Early season scouting reports had the team ranked as the best “AA” team on the Island. It was easy to see why as they dominated the early exchanges in the game and scored within ten minutes via a powerful run by their inside forward.
Carihi worked hard to stay in the game but a second goal fol-lowed and if it wasn’t for some old fash-ioned hard work led by Fawkes it could have been more. The
strength of the squad was demonstrated in this final game as Con-nor Fairweather, Nel-son and Kelly all put in strong shifts.
■ Next week sees the Tyees go back to Nanaimo for the Island Championship.
Originally the school was to host but the recent weather and lack of artifial turf in town has menat the tournament being relo-cated to Merle Logan Artificial turf.
The top three teams at the Island Champi-onship will make the Provincial Champi-onships later in the month in Vancouver.
The Carihi Boys are well placed and if they can reproduce the form of this Championship hopes are high they can be the first Carihi Senior Boys Soccer team to reach a Provin-cial Championships in over 30 years.

PLANNING FOR LIFE
Planning for Life Changes
Anne Delaney
Thinking about downsizing and moving? Tired of tasks such as cutting the grass, and shoveling snow? Are you getting uncomfortable lugging laundry baskets, and groceries up and down stairs? Is your family concerned about your well-being? Now is the time to start thinking about downsizing and moving. Perhaps the thought of moving sounds good, but the thought of selling your home and moving to a smaller place overwhelms you. You are not alone!
Making the decision to move is extremely diffi cult. It is estimated that it takes a minimum of 80 hours to completely sort and pack an average home. This is an enormous task. It is easier if you break the tasks of downsizing into small segments, one drawer, closet, or box at a time. Share with your family and friends cherished items and heirlooms, taking comfort in knowing that these possessions will be appreciated.
As with any major life change, there are many factors to consider; fi nances, the diffi culty or complexity of the move, your ability, distance, as well as your support system to name just a few.
If the prospect of tackling this on your own is just too much, you can hire a relocation company. Moving is a great time for personal growth. If done with the right mindset a person can have sense of satisfaction about the past, and look forward to the future. Reminiscing is a combination of a little grief and a lot of celebration.
The following is a list of what Delaney Relocation and Home Support Services INC can do for you:• Assess your current home and your needs• Assess your new location & how best to
accommodate you & your possessions in it• Provide advice to assist your decision-making• Help co-ordinate realtors, appraisers, cleaners,
movers etc.• Help downsize and organize your belongings• Help dispose of unwanted items• Handle all your utility and address changeovers• Take care of all the packing• Arrange for cleanup, household repairs and garbage
disposal• Keep you and family members updated on progress
every step of the way• Have you unpacked and set up by suppertime on
moving day

Did everyone feel the force of the Hurricane this weekend?
Well maybe not everyone, but the Bantam girls hockey team from Nanaimo certainly did. The Camp-bell River Hurricane and Nanaimo faced off at Strathcona Gardens this past Saturday at 3:45 p.m. for the season opener of the VIHA Bantam Girls League.
The Nanaimo team was a big, strong team with many second year players on it but the young Campbell River girls rose to the challenge.
The first period was a battle of the goalies as both teams played a physical game with lots of action at both ends of the ice. It wasn’t until late in the first period when Campbell River netted the first goal of the game with some hard work from behind the net by Kylie Scammell who found the stick of Rebecca Mason to put the Hurri-cane up by one.
The second period was much the same, neither team wanting let up. This resulted in several penalties for both the home team and the vis-itors. Jadylin Spooner came up big
for the Hurricanes, making some spectacular saves as the team was forced to play short handed. Late in the second the Campbell River girls found the back of the net after a long shift, this time it was Cassidy Bellavance setting up the hard working Scammell.
The defensive efforts of Lisa Lloyd, Miaya Cramb, Alyssa Palmer and Carrissa Jochimski held the Nanaimo team to another scoreless period.
The third period brought out a very frustrated Nanaimo team who just couldn’t seem to score despite their best efforts. Just two min-utes into the third period Haley Hunter hammered a slap shot from the blue line that beat a screened Nanaimo goalie. The game would end 3-0 with Spooner earning the shut out. Coach Dennis Bellavance said the game was a real team effort and the girls dug deep to find a way to win.
The Hurricane be playing next in Victoria on Sunday November 4 at Westhills Arena and will be play-ing in a tournament in Sooke on the following weekend.
Hurricane storm to shutout victory
The Carihi Girls team qualified for the Provincial Championship with a courageous fourth place fin-ish today.
This is only the third time in Carihi history that the girls have achieved this. A delighted group of runners are off to Prince George late next week. The Girls made it by eight points which in Cross Country terms means it was very very close. Top runner was Josie Simpson who came 15th on the Island. Simpson was ably supported by her team mates Karlyn Healy, Talish Linden-
bach, Cassidy Hinsburger, Claire Pomeroy, Megan Nuttall and Janna Manners.
The Tyee boys also ran with great determination and achieved a school best ever result with a 5th place finish missing out by one position for a first ever Provincial Champi-onship berth. Top finishers were Brendan Hoff who came 10th and Jason Fawkes who finished 20th. Strong runs also came from Kar-son Kroetsch, Tyrell Barley, Kevin Shelswell, Conner Fairweather and Paul Jackman.
Carihi girls make the grade
The U12 Rage North Island Field Lacrosse Team were back on the Robron field this past Sunday playing the Pacific Rim Tier 2 Team from Sannich.
The Rage did a great job of moving the ball up the field creating several scoring opportu-nities and ultimately winning both games.
In the second game, the Rage earned a shut-out due to a collaborative effort and fancy foot-work by the goalie finishing the game 14-0. The Rage are really coming together as a team and getting ready for the upcoming three-day tour-nament in Richmond.

T h e C a m p b e l l River Killer Whales swim club travelled to Nanaimo this past weekend for their first official competition of the season.
The meet included over 250 swimmers from clubs located throughout B.C. The club travelled down with a strong contin-gent of 41 swimmers and really left a mark on the competition. The local club raced hard and represented the town of Campbell
River extremely well. Included were many personal best times and podium perfor-mances.
CRKW had some great individual and team performances at this swim meet. Some highlights included outstanding perfor-mances from the new up and coming swim-mers: Lilan Forsyth, Gage Windle, Avery Moskal, and Aleah Jordan. Not be out-done were the efforts displayed by Melanyna
Beaudin, Jasmine Skuse, MacKenzie Pad-ington , James Sidhu and Connor Milligan.
“There were some real strong perfor-mances put in by Con-nor Milligan, Lilan, Gage and Melayna at this meet,” said coach Dave Healy. “Especially exciting, was the emer-gence of our 10 and under boys group; con-sisting of Gage Windle, Carson Dunn and Tra-vis Lathangue”
“It has been some time since CRKW have
displayed a strong group of young male swimmers…very excit-ing indeed.”
CRKW will continue with multiple competi-tions coming up in the near future. With hard work and dedication: this team of swimmers will continue to build on their successes in pursuit of future glory. CRKW has just begun their season and always looks for new recruits and athletes in our community.
“We offer a program
that fits many and most lifestyles,” Healy said. “As a competitive swim club, we offer life skill instruction with the opportunity to become the next Olympian.”
“Our former, and cur-rent successes, illus-trate that our program is something that every athlete in our commu-nity should check out. We are proud to pro-vide a superior pro-gram for Campbell Riv-er’s young athletes.”

How Far Away do I Park?I received a request from a gentleman who wanted others to know how far away drivers have to park from roadside features. He has a problem with people parking across the end of his driveway rather than keeping their distance and is hoping that a reminder to other drivers might solve it. Is your measuring tape ready?
You cannot park in the following plac-es: on a sidewalk or boulevard, in front of a driveway, in an intersection unless permitted by a sign, on a crosswalk, bridge, elevated roadway or in a tun-nel, contrary to a sign, on the roadway side of a vehicle already parked, or on a highway for the purpose of advertising or selling.
You cannot park within 5 metres of a fi re hydrant.
You must not park within 6 metres of: the approach side of a crosswalk, the approach to a fl ashing beacon, stop sign, or traffi c control signal, the en-trance or exit of a hotel, theatre, public meeting place, dance hall, fi re hall, or playground in a rural area.
You cannot park within 15 metres of a railroad crossing.
Of course, if you must park somewhere forbidden due to a breakdown, a note on the car and a word to the property owner goes a long way to avoid misun-derstandings.
The author is a retired constable with many years of traffi c enforcement experience. To comment or learn more, please visit www.drivesmartbc.ca.
