Casualty of WarYorke Island gunner warrants a fitting memorial
BRIAN KIERANCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Royal Canadian Artillery Gunner Wallace Brunt died on duty in 1941
here on the West Coast far from any Second World War battle-field and a local war historian is determined that his death will be more than a distant footnote in history.
Campbell River resident Ross Keller, who says his “personal passion” is the history and leg-acy of the Yorke Island Battery near Sayward, wants to raise public awareness about the service and drowning death of the 27-year-old soldier and help create a memorial to the gunner here where he served and died.
Currently, Brunt is remem-bered on the Canadian Virtual War Memorial posted on the Internet by Veterans Affairs. He is also listed in the Second World War Book of Remem-brance. And, Keller says, his name appears on the St. John’s Cenotaph in Newfoundland.
The Yorke Island Battery was established in 1938 by the War Department as part of Canada’s coastal defences. The site was equipped with a range of weaponry including two 40mm Bofors guns at two different sites.
Three carbon arc search-lights were positioned to main-tain a night fighting ability. Sixty buildings were erected to support the garrison. A major
challenge with Yorke Island was a lack of drinking water.
It was while he was partici-pating in a work party fetching water from Hardwicke Island in Sunderland Channel that Brunt was dragged overboard when he got caught in a tow line to a sinking rowboat. Despite the efforts of his fellow soldiers he drowned.
“The family of Gunner Brunt was devastated by his loss with the story being that his wife
was grief stricken and affected by his loss dramatically,” Keller says. “His family was never satisfied by the findings of the military and felt very poorly treated by the powers that be at the time of a court of inquiry in Vancouver.”
Keller says the grim situation was compounded when Brunt’s name was “incorrectly put onto the St John’s cenotaph as a sailor lost at sea when he was killed on a different ocean.”
“I wonder if he should be listed in Campbell River or Say-ward, on the closest cenotaph to where he was killed?”
Keller says thought could also be given to erecting a cairn on Yorke Island.
Ottawa-based Veterans Affairs spokesperson Simon Forsyth says there is no national pro-tocol that stands in the way of such an initiative and that a project like this should prob-ably start with the relevant community groups that care for individual cenotaphs on Van-couver Island.
Forsyth says if there is a group locally that wishes to honour Brunt they may be eli-gible for federal government assistance by applying to the Community War Memorial Program which helps citizens “commemorate the achieve-ments and sacrifices of those who served Canada in times of war, military conflict and peace.”
Yorke Island was an isolated post and as the threat of attack diminished the garrison was decommissioned and the fort was abandoned by early 1946. Yorke Island is now a Conser-vancy protected by BC Parks. Recent efforts by volunteers and local groups have now allowed for a major clean up at the fort.
Trails have been cut and marked to areas of safe access and interest including extensive remnants of the bunkers, gun emplacements and buildings.
The Yorke Island Battery was established in 1938 as part of Canada’s coastal defences. It was isolated posting far from the theatre of war and was decommissioned in 1946.
The stepmother of a formerCampbell River student says sheis “relieved” that the alleged kill-ers of her boy have been arrestedand charged with first degreemurder in Salmon Arm.
On Nov. 21, 2008 Tyler Myers,22, was gunned down. His bodywas discovered by a passerbyabout 7:30 p.m. on a trail on thegrounds of an elementary schoolin the Interior city. On Mondaypolice arrested a 20-year-old manand a 21-year-old woman, bothunder 18 years at the time of themurder.

Arm Court Tuesday. They were ordered to be held in custody until their next joint court appearance Nov. 20. Tyler’s stepmother, Campbell River resident Donna Linklater, says: “I’m relieved after all this time that someone is in custody.” Tyler lived with Linklater and his now-deceased father, Dusty, from age nine into his teens. He attended Pinecrest and Timberline schools.
“Tyler came to us as a young boy and we loved him to pieces. He is missed terribly,” Linklater says. She said Tyler
had moved to Salmon Arm to work on pipeline construc-tion. She would n o t c o m m e n t about the motives for the shooting or the relation-ship between the accused and her stepson.
At a news confer-ence at the Salmon Arm RCMP detach-ment Insp. Gary Shinkaruk of the Major Crime Sec-tion said the man had been arrested
at his home in Salmon Armwhile the woman was arrested
in a public settingin Vernon – bothwithout incident.Both were knownto the deceased, hesaid. “Tyler Myers... did not deservein any way to bemurdered in 2008or any time. Byvirtue of the first-degree murdercharge we believeit was a plannedand deliberatemurder.”
Tylery Myers was shot in
Salmon Arm in 2008.

Murder: Arrests made without incident“If it wasn’t for this
tree, more than 100 kids wouldn’t have a Christmas,” says John Howard Society pro-gram manager Steve Ayers.
The tree he is refer-ring to is the Sears Tree of Wishes where the hopes of 118 chil-dren, from one year old to 16, are hanging. For the second year Campbell River Sears and the John Howard Society have teamed up to provide a way for caring Campbell River residents to brighten what could be a bleak holiday
without presents. Last year, 26 kids were registered.
The boys and girls whose wishes are hanging on the tree are participating in John Howard Society mentoring programs like the KidsStart Pro-gram.
Sears provided them with copies of the Sears Christmas Wish Book catalogue so they could find their perfect gift.
The gifts selected run the Christmas gamut such as a New-berry Alley doll, a Tigger Travel mug,
My First Craftsman Chainsaw, a Kidizoom camera, Hip Street MP3 Player and more. All these gift ideas are attached as snow-flakes on the tree wait-ing for a donor to pick them off and purchase the gift.
Ayers says: “When we get an opportun-ity to partner with a local business like Sears that has such a positive presence in the community, it sub-stantially increases the chances that our efforts to help kids will be more success-ful.”
It will be the Christmas the kids could only wish for. Campbell River Sears and
the John Howard Society are making a Christmas catalogue wish come true.

The author of the damning, $37,000 governance audit of city hall sympathized with the mayor and senior city staff at Tuesday night’s council meet-ing.
George Cuff, who conducted the two-day audit Sept. 4-5 with his associate Jeff Nixon, was in attendance to person-ally present his findings of a dysfunctional city council.
“We were called in because council was, and to some extent still is, struggling (in its) rela-tionship with one another,” Cuff began. “This community has elected this council to be the guardians of the public purse, to set good policy for the future, to establish priori-ties on how to govern the city’s budget process – all of this should come from this council but it won’t if council’s caught up on turning the wagons and shooting inward, which I find to be very non-productive. It
may make for good headlines,but it doesn’t make for goodgovernance.”
Cuff went on to explain thatpart of the problem could lie inthe fact that in most communi-ties the elected mayor is typi-cally someone already servingon council and has experienceas a politician, which MayorWalter Jakeway did not whenhe was elected last year.
“In this case the mayor isnew to both governance aswell as to this role on coun-

cil,” Cuff said. “As a result of that, I would cut some slack relative to the mayor’s pen-chant to jump ahead
and make announce-ments he may not be entitled to make or making comments he might consider throw away lines...but which
turn out to be head-line grabbers because it’s coming out of the mouth of the mayor.”
Cuff also warned council about its treat-
ment of city staff, such as verbal assaults thrown at senior staff through the media and during council meet-ings.
“There ought to be respect for the advice provided to council by your administration and there ought to be respect generally for the administration and the role it plays,” Cuff said. “While council may not agree with the administration’s advice – all of that is fair play – what isn’t, is undermining the cred-ibility of your staff. I think that’s unwise (and) will demoralize your staff.”
Cuff acknowledged that, “city hall has
been referred to as ‘toxic’ and that senior staff ‘don’t get it.’ Staff have been accused of trying to preserve the bureaucracy at all costs, even manipulat-ing this year’s budget process and that senior staff cling to their pol-icy documents.”
Cuff said it’s unfair of council to go after city staff members, whose professional backgrounds tell them to respect elected offi-cials.
“We recommend that members of council treat senior staff with respect and civility,” he said. “Management’s not in a position to fight back unless they have a resume in their
other hand. “Staff wants to do
what’s right by council and work for council and doesn’t want to be beaten up by council.”
Cuff also had some specific advice for the mayor, who has pub-licly voiced his frustra-tion with council deci-sions in the past – most notably, when he called for a tax revolt after council voted in favour of a 13.6 per cent resi-dential tax increase this spring.
“ We re c o m m e n d that the mayor accept as his role, the need to show support for council’s decision even when personally not in agreement,” Cuff said. “The mayor needs to be in support of the issue. Whether the issue is voted on 4-3, 5-2, or 6-1, that matters not. It simply matters that the mayor is now speaking on behalf of council’s decision.”
Jakeway, for his part, said Tuesday morning that he agreed with Cuff ’s findings and advice, particularly that his own agenda
has polarized council.Councillors Andy
Adams, Claire Moglove, Mary Storry and Jake-way thanked Cuff for his report on Tuesday night. Council voted to receive the report, and although no formal resolutions were made on the report’s recom-mendations, Storry did say council has made some changes already.
Also encouraging was Cuff ’s parting words to council.
“I can tell you, rest assured, there are councils that are very dysfunctional and hate each other...and as a result of that, nothing gets done,” he said. “I think this council needs to be encouraged that it’s nowhere near the dysfunction I’ve seen in other places, including here on the Island.”
Cuff, a former mayor of Spruce Grove, Alta. has conducted gov-ernance audits for several local govern-ments including Hope, Smithers and the for-mer Comox-Strathcona Regional District.

A Campbell River woman wants to dump on the dumpers — and get them some well-deserved notoriety.
Kathleen Sharpe, tired of people using the outdoors as a dumping ground, has created a Facebook page dubbed Shame the Logging Road Dump-ers. The goal is to let
people know she and other group members are seeing the litter.
They hope the web-site garners the ‘dump-ers’ the publicity needed to make them stop littering roads.
“It ’s everybody’s backyard,” Sharpe said. “This doesn’t stop with one little thing...The next thing you know it’s a fridge and a couch and it just becomes more and
more.”She started the site
to bring attention to what’s going on in the backroads in and around mid-Island communities. Sharpe, is concerned the situa-
tion will worsen when the Campbell River landfill reaches capac-ity.
“I’m out there all the time,” Sharpe said. “What gets me is a lot of it is free to dump,
but they still seem to think that it’s cheaper to drive their $45,000 diesel truck down a bad logging road and dump it, and incur a $10,000 fine inside B.C. Parks.”

The Salvation Army’s Extreme Weather Shel-ter likely won’t be open every night this winter after a city committee turned down the Sal-vation Army’s request for funding.
The non-profit Chris-tian organization, which runs a cold weather shelter for the city’s most vulnerable, applied for a $45,000 Community Partner-ship grant-in-aid to extend its shelter hours but was denied because of a city policy.
Non-profits which also receive funding from other levels of government or govern-ment agencies, in this case BC Housing, are not eligible for a grant-in-aid from the city.
That’s not sitting well with Coun. Ron Kerr, who tried to get the Salvation Army as well as the city’s Com-munity Homelessness Coalition on the grant recipient list, which includes several arts and culture organiza-
tions such as the Tide-mark Theatre Society, the museum, and the Arts Council.
“I’m completely in favour of support-ing arts and culture in Campbell River. It contributes to qual-ity of life and tour-ism but I’m extremely disappointed that because of our policy, our social organiza-tions are not included on this list,” Kerr said at Tuesday night’s council meeting. “I think both of these are worthy and should be included, especially the cold weather shel-ter. There’s a desperate need. These citizens are our most vulnera-ble and to ignore them is morally wrong.”
Coun. Mary Storry, a non-voting liaison to the Community Part-nership Committee which is tasked with reviewing the grant-in-aid applications, said it came down to guidelines.
“Certainly the Com-munity Partnership Committee spent a lot of time discuss-
ing these two items but it was quite clear those didn’t fall into the policy that the Community Partner-ship Committee acted upon,” said Storry, who noted it would be more appropriate to discuss funding for the shelter and the Homelessness Coalition during the 2013 budget delibera-tions, set to begin in December.
For now, the Salva-tion Army is proceed-ing under the assump-t ion the extreme weather shelter will only be open on nights the temperature falls below 0 degrees Cel-sius – the only time BC Housing will provide funding for the shelter to operate. Money goes towards a number of things, including pro-viding clients with a mat to sleep on, a warm meal, and trained paid staff to operate the shelter.
But Jakeway has said “the homeless don’t have a thermometer. They don’t know when it’s below 0 degrees C.” He said the danger
level for the city’s most vulnerable is still high even when the mer-cury doesn’t dip below freezing.
“The problem is, (last year) we had two people die when it was below 0 because you can still die of expo-sure,” Jakeway said. “It’s most important that the homeless peo-ple know where to go even if it’s plus one, plus two, or plus three. Especially because you get wet. So for the win-ter months, it needs to be open everyday.”
In the end, council chose to defer the issue of funding to both the Salvation Army and the Homelessness Coalition to the 2013 budget planning dis-cussions. City Man-ager Andy Laidlaw said the city does have more than $300,000 provided to council for “this type of function” and shelter opera-tions would fall within the grant guidelines. Council will also look at the possibility of providing $20,000 to the Homelessness
Coalition, on top of the $319,644 in VIHA funding that the city allocated to the coali-tion, to build a 30-unit co-ed supportive hous-ing facility.
C o u n . C l a i r e Moglove, though, said she doesn’t believe the city should have to fund either of the two groups and that the responsibility for fund-ing social programs lies with the province.
“There is constant downloading from the provincial government onto municipalities,” Moglove said. “Shelter and affordable housing is a provincial respon-sibility. We can’t con-tinually increase our payments to groups when those groups should be funded by the province.”

The head of the Campbell River Fish-ing Guides Association says the halibut fish-ery is “in a shambles” and he is hoping the
public wants to learn more about the issue at a sports fishing open house here next week.
Association Chair Harry MacDonald says: “It is super important that the public get involved. The govern-
ment has given 85 per cent of the halibut fishery to commercial fishermen. These fish belong to all Canadi-ans not just the com-mercial fishermen.”
The open house, orga-nized by the guides
and the Sport Fishing Institute of BC (SFI), is Wednesday, Nov. 14 at the Campbell River Community Centre from 7 to 9 p.m.
MacDonald says he is expecting Depart-ment of Fisheries and
Oceans (DFO) repre-sentatives to be there and he hopes sports fishing enthusiasts and the public raise other issues as well such as “why they won’t give us any wild Coho to keep.”
One of the present-ers at the open house will be SFI executive director Owen Bird. “Hopefully we’ll have a good dialogue,” he says. “Halibut alloca-tion will certainly be talked about.”
The SFI – which rep-resents the whole sport fishery sector, not just guides and lodges – was recently granted responder status in a Federal Court hearing that was launched by
Halibut fishing ‘shambles’ to get an airing

a group of commercial halibut quota holders who oppose DFO’s deci-sion to increase the allocation to the recre-ational sector from 12 to 15 per cent.
The October hearing and judicial review
in Vancouver before Federal Court Justice Donald Rennie was “an interesting one and very relevant to our sector,” Bird says.
“On the surface it is a complaint and claim by commercial quota holders who believe that the original 12 per
cent allocation was set in stone versus DFO which maintains that under the Fisheries Act allocation can be amended at any time. The hearing and com-plaint allowed the judge to consider some of the broader issues surrounding public
ownership of the fish-eries resource ... and the extent to which fish can become pri-vate property before they are caught,” Bird says.
The SFI asked the court to consider a number of questions including how it is that
government can imple-ment a halibut leasing model that transfers fish between quota holders who don’t actually fish to lodge owners or charter boat operators who don’t actually fish.
Justice Rennie has reserved his decision.
KRISTEN DOUGLASCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
A group of 16 local non-profits will receive community grants this year, while four other community groups applied for funding but were turned down.
The groups applied under the city’s annual grant-in-aid program which aims to help non-profits benefiting the entire community.
Applications are reviewed by the city’s Community Partner-ship Committee based on city policy and what’s available in the budget.
Bar ry Watchor n, chair of the committee, said this year’s applica-tion process was espe-cially difficult.
“The committee had some serious chal-lenges this year in the fact we had an unprec-edented amount of
requests for grants-in-aid this year,” Watchorn told council Tuesday night.
“Requests for 2013 t o t a l l e d $ 7 8 5 , 7 0 0 , exceeding the grant-in-aid budget cap by $221,220 (1.7 per cent of the city’s general revenue).
“A lot of due dili-gence was put in to whittling it down and trying to make every-body happy.”
The g roups that received funding are listed below, but four groups – the Camp-bell River Storm, the city’s Homelessness Coalition, the Salva-tion Army’s extreme weather shelter and the Downtown BIA, for Christmas lights, – were denied their fund-ing requests.
Groups were turned down if they did not fit the criteria of being a non-profit organization
or open to the entire community. Grant requests were also shot down if the applicant already receives fund-ing from another level of government or a government agency.
Mayor Walter Jake-way said he didn’t think any g roups should have been turned down, no mat-ter what the reason.
“Some are not getting money and I think they all deserve the money,” he said.
“I’d like to hear if we found money during our budget delibera-tions (that) we could meet those needs too because obviously there’s a huge need and I know a lot of them are very legitimate organizations looking for funds.”
Watchorn said the committee could re-visit the city man-date that determines
whether or not a grant-in-aid request is approved.
“Perhaps the guide-lines could be looked at again,” Watchorn said.
Coun. Mary Storry, who sits on the Com-munity Partnership Committee, said the volunteer members spent a lot of time con-sidering each request and it was clear not all of them fit under the city’s grant-in-aid policy.
She said despite the fact some groups were turned down, most groups ended up in better positions than in previous years.
“I know last year the theme was more a little bit of panic because there were some bingo funds that may or may not come to pass,” Storry said.
T h e f o l l o w i n g g roups received
grants for 2013, 2014, and 2015:
Recreation and Cul-ture Facility Rentals ($10,000) ; Museum at Campbell River ($170,479); Haig-Brown House ($43,200); Tide-mark Theatre Society ($160,000); Arts Coun-cil ($20,000); Salmon Festival ($20,000) ; Search and Rescue ($9,500); Writer’s Fes-tival Society ($2,000); Greenways Land Trust ($9,000); Citizens on Patrol ($2,500). The fol-lowing received grants for 2013 and 2014: Art Gallery ($49,500) and Shoreline Arts Society ($5,000). Grants for 2013 are going to: River City Arts Festival ($1,000); Twinning Society ($2,400); Museum for an exhibit upgrade ($12,500); and Rivercity Players ($10,000) pend-ing it provide the city with a copy of its lease agreement.
Mayor thinks all who apply should get funding

The taxpayers of Campbell River have just spent more than $37,000 to tell them something they already know.
Mayor Walter Jakeway has turned into a one man wrecking crew and everyone else at city hall has all but lost the ability to communicate respectfully or effec-tively.
Municipal consultant George Cuff ’s audit of city hall reveals a local gov-ernment that has lost touch with its mandate to generously serve the
broad interests of the community. When you digest Cuff ’s report it boils down to this:
We elected a mayor who believes it is his job to stomp around like a bull in a china shop; and, a culture of abuse has taken hold in which verbal assaults on senior staff are considered an acceptable way of doing business.
When Jakeway ran for mayor a year ago he was pretty clear that he wanted to shake up the city. The majority of voters agreed with his premise that there was an “old boys” mentality at city hall that needed to be refreshed.
That said, voters did not give Jakeway a mandate to be rude and offensive to his colleagues on council and to senior staff. Voters had every right to assume that Jakeway was entering political life with a basic
understanding that his voice would be one of several on council and that his power to effect change would spring from his ability to achieve consensus.
Mayor Jakeway has repeatedly shown that he does not have the slightest idea how democracy works in a municipal setting.
He is persuaded that if he yells loud enough the sta-tus quo will collapse and an efficient administration will rise from the dust.
Is the mayor the only problem at city hall? Certainly not. Is change needed? Certainly it is. But change is about leadership and Mayor Jakeway needs to take a long look in the mirror and mend his ways or the final two years of his mandate will be grim.
Mayor Jakeway...wake up and smell the coffeeOur ViewOur View
Celebrate Remembrance Day and ignore the polls
We say: Take a long look in the mirror and mend your ways
There is a bit of controversy spawned by some opinion polls regarding commercial businesses playing Christmas music and putting up decorations so early. It seems that the most common opinion is that, out of respect for our veterans, we should not enter into the festive mood until after Remembrance Day.
We have opened the doors of the Christmas Bureau, complete with a tree and decorations, but we hold off on the Christmas music until after Dec. 1. Some stores start putting up lights and deco-rations the day after Halloween and some wait until later.
I have spoken to some of the old soldiers who have their pic-
ture on display in the City of Langley. They talk about how they have brought generations of their families downtown to show them the banners and had their picture taken with them. As they walk along the street, they recog-nize brothers in arms they served with or marched beside in the Remembrance Day parades. They remark how each year there are fewer here at home, but the memories on the lamp posts still remain.
Every year on Nov. 1, we buy our poppies, or sometimes two or three, knowing we will lose at least one. We see the program-ming on the TV lean towards the
war documentaries and the war-time movies. The opportunities to remember and give thanks are all around us for 11 days, and I sup-pose it’s not a good idea to create bright, festive displays to distract us from such a sombre occasion.
We attend the cenotaphs locally and watch the proceed-ings from Vancouver and Ottawa and we give our two minutes of silence
in respect. Then the next day, we move on. We carry on with our lives and live and love and cele-brate the way all those uniformed men and women wanted us to do. We enjoy the freedom they gave us.
As the November rain is fall-
ing on the wreaths and the plas-tic poppies are fluttering in the cold wind, the veteran’s banners will come down and the spirit of Christmas will go up. As the lin-gering strains of Amazing Grace and The Last Post fade away, Silent Night and Jingle Bells will slip in. We continue to move on, just as they did, in the mud and the snow and the desert sand, pushing ahead to preserve our way of life.
I believe we are asked to remem-ber them but not to mourn for them or grieve for them, but to celebrate their sacrifices and vic-tories. So many towns and cities celebrated with lights and music when their boys returned and I’m
sure no one took notice of what season it was. They were just glad it was over.
I can only imagine what a sol-dier might think if he comes home this week to see his house ablaze in Christmas lights in November. What a spectacular homecoming that would be and not disrespectful at all.
Don’t take my word for it and don’t pay too much attention to the polls. Go to the ceremonies on Sunday and ask the people it really matters to. At least that’s what McGregor says.

Re: “Cohen commission report must be acted upon,”“Don’t be duped by story,” Nov. 7, 2012
Perennial aquaculture naysayers Leona Adams andPaul Dean seem to believe that if they repeat mythsoften enough, people will think they are facts.
They make numerous claims about the Cohen Com-mission report which are plainly false at worst, anddistortions of the truth at best.
The good news is that anyone with a computer caneasily test their claims for themselves. The entirereport is available online for the public to read.
In his report, Justice Bruce Cohen plainly states thatthere is no scientific evidence to suggest that salmonfarms are in any way linked with the decline of sock-eye salmon. He also points out that the decline is coast-wide, from Alaska to California, and that the “elephantin the room” is climate change.
Too bad that Adams and Dean, who are eager to playthe role of our environmental guardians, have com-pletely ignored the “elephant in the room.”
Cohen’s report is a “proceed with caution” mes-sage for salmon farms. He suggests more research to

The autumn weather is gaining in
intensity and so is the opposition to the Northern Gateway Pipeline.
The turnout for the anti-pipeline rally in Victoria was huge. The BC Liberals may try to silence the democratic process by refusing to recon-vene the legislature but the rally showed people won’t let their democratic voices be silenced.
It was great to be part of it and, two days later, to mingle with those who came to my Campbell River office to add their voices in protest.
On Enbridge the offi-cial opposition New Democrats have said we would: take back provincial authority for conducting envi-ronmental reviews the BC Liberals gave away to Ottawa, with-
draw from the fed-eral review process, ensure B.C.’s envi-ronmental, social and economic interests are fully addressed and that First Nations’ interests and rights are recognized.
I was in the northern part of the constituency a few days after the earthquake and have to applaud the work every-one did to ensure the safety of their neigh-bours.
While it is now a “lessons learned” exercise it is trou-bling it took so long for the government’s provincial emergency service to alert com-munities; I am raising these concerns with the minister.
Rural communities
are resilient but there is no place for compla-cency.
The recent release of the Cohen report into the failed Fraser
sockeye run also under-lined no one can be com-placent on environmen-tal concerns.
The recom-mendations cover impor-tant issues from ripar-ian manage-ment and environmen-
tal oversight through to climate change.
I am pleased the report has been wel-comed by the aquacul-ture industry as well as by environmental campaigners.
I hope the federal and provincial govern-ments take seriously the recommendations that reflect on their jurisdictions
Unfortunately the BC Liberal govern-ment did not listen when it came to the BC Ferry Commis-sioner’s warnings about the ferry fares saying they had reached tipping point. Now there’s talk about changing schedules and cutting services to fix the mess the BC Liberals have created for our marine high-way system.
I would urge every-one who ever uses BC Ferries to attend the consultation meetings being held later this month.
Health care remains a paramount concern and I continue to con-vene a hospital stake-holders group.
A continued worry is the public-private partnership model under which VIHA is determined to con-struct our new hos-pital.
This means a pri-
vate consortium will design it, build it and then maintain it.
It is like leasing a car – except you can’t trade it in at the end of the lease – and is proven to be more expensive.
VIHA is still not being open about whether that private model will also be used for food services, housekeeping and other non-medical ser-vices in the hospital.
With no session of the legislature I am on the road quite a bit in the constituency and in my role as critic for Children and Family Development.
Next week my schedule includes the Remembrance Day Service in Campbell River on Sunday as well as meeting with the Campbell River Young Professionals and the Campbell River Youth Action Committee.

show definitively that farms do not harm wild salmon runs, and we’re happy to follow his advice.
Aquaculture is part of the solution to sav-ing wild salmon. You can’t save wild fish by catching and eating them all. We provide a healthy, safe alterna-tive source of seafood to meet the growing demand which capture
fisheries just can’t meet.
The Cohen report shows that farmed and wild salmon can co-exist in the same ocean. Now is the time to move on from the tired old debates and work together on tack-ling the “elephant in the room.”

Re: “Cohen commis-sion report must be acted upon”; by Leona Adams; Opinion, Nov. 6.
Ms. Adams claims that “Provincial and federal government science proves net-pen salmon farms now pose more than a minimal risk of serious harm to the health of migrating Fraser River Sockeye Salmon.” I disagree.
In a televised inter-view last April I stated
that piscine reovirus (PRV) was common in BC farmed salmon but not a concern. Ms. Adams quoted two scientific papers that seemed to dispute my assessment of PRV risk.
Scientific papers are a good source of infor-mation, but they need to be read completely and interpreted with care.
For example, the 2012 paper that she
cites as evidence that PRV causes the disease HSMI also says, “PRV is almost ubiquitously present in Atlantic salmon marine farms, and detection of PRV alone does not estab-lish an HSMI diagno-sis.” That means that without evidence of disease, the fact that fish have PRV cannot be used to prove any-thing about the risk to wild salmon.
Ms. Adams also
expressed concer n about smolts being exposed to 650 billion infectious particles per hour during an IHN virus outbreak on a fish farm. That sounds like a lot of virus, but viruses are very small.
It would take about 11,000 years for the infected farm to release enough IHN virus to fill a single sockeye salmon egg.
More importantly,
DFO research pub-lished in 1993 (Disease of Aquatic Organ-isms) showed that when sockeye salmon smolts were exposed to IHN-infected Atlan-tic salmon for 37 days, 96 per cent survived. Also, infected sockeye salmon did not spread the virus to other sock-eye salmon.

Warning for Ocean Grove area
We have found an strain of black widow spiders in our home and noticed a few around the vents to the outside. Black widows are rare in Bristish Columbia but we do have them. Might be a good idea to keep an eye out for them. Be aware also that imma-ture black widow’s red area is not as distinict but there is still some tell tell markings to look for.
Jessica GoodwinCampbell River
Where was the government?
While the public is stuck with ICBC as it’s insurer, ICBC CEO Jon Schubert earned $486,541 in pay and bonuses. Was govern-ment not keeping an eye on what was hap-
pening? With his resigna-
tion and interim presi-dent and CEO Mark Blucher, I sincerely hope that things get better for us as tax-payers. We have lived here for over 10 years, never reported an acci-dent or bought a new or luxury vehicle and yet this year we were hit with a $20/month increase. WHY?
This is indeed a scathing audit that shows the ballooning of senior managers and their meteoric pay increases and bonuses.
When will the paying of bonuses to mangers end. ICBC is a monop-oly and managers are paid for doing their JOB, so why are they given bonuses?
Any profits should be returned to the tax-payers as it used to be, not paid to managers in bonuses OR to have the government siphon
off the profits for their own use.
Judy A. CampbellCampbell River
Should ferries be treated like highways?
The operating cost of ferries is an important distinction from high-ways.
The solution to the perceived problem could be to allow BC Ferries to go bank-rupt, so the sunk costs can be written off, and allow a new operator to take over the dis-tressed fleet and reset fares and services outside the distorting political influence of government subsidies. Water and sewer pro-vide a precident for good management of public services. These are essential services that use costs to control supply and demand.

NOTICE OF VOTE
When the 38th Annual Rotary
TV Auction takes place later this
month, successful bidders will walk
away with good deals while helping
a great cause. For one lucky person,
though, a winning bid
will also mean a whole
new quality of life.
In support of the auction,
Campbell River Hear-
ing Clinic has donated
a complete hearing aid
package valued at more
than $7,700 that will be
up for bid with no re-
serve. Because of its ex-
pense, clinic owner Mar-
tin Jurek says he wants
anyone who’s consider-
ing bidding on the item
to understand the value
of the package so they can feel
comfortable placing a bid.
“What we’re offering are the most
advanced hearing instruments
available,” he explains. “We’re also
including a wireless package that
connects to the wearer’s TV, home
phone, cell phone, computer or
iPad. I’ll personally make a house
call to install these devices should
the successful bidder need help
with set-up.”
Just as important – if not more so
– as the device itself, he continues,
is the custom set-up, unlimited
precision “Fine-tuning and Listen-
ing and Communication Enhance-
ment (LACE) therapy that are also
included with the package. Using
a combination of counselling and
interactive software, LACE therapy
effectively “retrains the brain” to
decipher speech.
“It’s not like getting a pair of glass-
es,” says Jurek. “You can’t just
throw in some hearing aids and ex-
pect to hear perfectly, yet 97 per cent
of hearing practitioners overlook
this crucial therapy. The winner of
this package, like every one of our
clients, gets free lifetime follow-up
appointments, including “fi ttings,
cleaning, maintenance and adjust-
ments due to hearing change.”
Jurek, who opened Campbell River
Hearing Clinic with his wife, Jana,
in January 2010, says the donation
is simply a way to show their com-
mitment to, and appreciation of,
their community. “First off, Rotary
International is a great
organization,” says Jurek.
“Three years ago, when
Jana and I were looking
for a place to live and
start our hearing clinic,
it was the Sea Walk, Ro-
tary Beach Park and Ken
Ford Park that impressed
us as we drove along the
highway. Contributing to
the Rotary Auction is a
way of thanking the com-
munity and all the people
who make it so great.”
The Rotary TV Auction
takes place November 23 and 24
on Shaw Cable, with online pre-
bidding opening November 14
at www.rotarytvauction.com. All
funds raised will be reinvested in
local community projects.
Jurek strongly encourages anyone
considering this item to visit Camp-
bell River Hearing Clinic at 780-D
13th Avenue, or online at www.to-
hear.ca, to learn more about hearing
aids and hearing rehabilitation. To
schedule a free hearing assessment,

Construction on a new, temporary trail to divert Canyon View trail users away from the John Hart Dam Generating Station is expected to begin as early as this winter.
Ste phen Watson, spokesperson for BC Hydro, told council Tuesday night that the bypass trail, which will
go around the backside of the BC Hydro prop-erty, is slated for con-struction before the end of the year.
The bypass, dubbed the Station View Trail, will hook up to the Can-yon View Trail near the river and along the edge of the BC Hydro property in order to re-route trail users away from construction at the generation station, expected to begin in
2013.“We have the Sta-
tion View Trail that comes inland...around the construction site, so that will provide trail continuity during construction,” Watson said. “We’re looking to construct that this winter and it might take three months to complete, subject to weather conditions. We’ll have the Station View Trail and the
Canyon View Trail, as it exists today through the John Hart Generat-ing Station and around the generating station, in place until next sum-mer or fall.”
That section of the Canyon View will then be closed off until construction at the generating station is complete and the trail is re-established along the river. The Station View Trail is expected to be in use for five years. Hydro’s $1 - $1.2 billion plan to upgrade Campbell River’s gen-erating station is cur-rently in front of the B.C. Utilities Commis-sion for review and a verdict is expected in February 2013. On Hydro’s side is the fact the corporation’s three major customers – resi-dential, commercial,
and industrial, as well as the City of Campbell River – have all passed judgement that the project should proceed. If it does, construction to build a new gener-ating station, and the replacement of the wood stave pipelines running from John Hart Lake to the gen-erating station with a two-kilometre long tunnel, could begin next summer.
In addition to the Canyon View Trail, the project will also impact Brewster Lake Road and the entrance to Elk Falls Provincial Park. Brewster Lake Road, and the old wooden bridge just before Elk Falls park, is expected to be closed for up to three years.
“We will get that started in late summer
or fall of next year,” Watson said. “In the interim, we have a road that will go in near the pipelines and there will be parking spots, a community site office and a trail that will offer access into the park during the road closure. Through discussions with BC Parks, we’re actually looking to construct a permanent road access and parking. So about 80 parking spots for RVs, parking for buses, that do not exist today and that’ll be a project legacy. Parks is poten-tially looking at remov-ing or decommission-ing the two parking spots within the park, so this parking lot access could be a very good opportunity for Parks.”
Hydro has also been
working closely with the city, which stands to lose its existing drinking water system because of the replace-ment of the three large pipes that transport water from John Hart Dam to the generat-ing station with the tunnel. The city has drawn its drinking water from those pipes for 65 years. Hydro has committed to pay up to 75 per cent of the costs to build a new drinking water supply system, or up to $12.5 million. Mayor Walter Jakeway and Coun. Ron Kerr have long advocated that Hydro should pay the full cost, estimated between $15 and $20 million, because it’s Hydro’s project and therefore the power corporation’s respon-sibility.

Ask the Dentist
Answer: Diabetes affects many Canadians each year ~ it can lower your resistance to infection & can slow the healing process.
The most common oral health problems associated with diabetes are tooth decay and periodontal (gum) disease which leads to tooth loss.When diabetes is not controlled properly, high sugar levels in saliva may help bacteria thrive. Plaque that is not removed can eventually harden (calcify) into calculus. When calculus collects above the gumline, it cannot be removed by brushing. This can create conditions that lead to chronic infl am-mation and infection in the mouth. Periodontal disease often is linked to the control of diabetes. For example, patients with inad-equate blood sugar control appear to develop periodontal disease more often and more severely, and they lose more teeth than do people who have good control of their diabetes.Brushing twice a day with fl uoride toothpaste, cleaning once a day between your teeth with fl oss and seeing your dentist regularly for an exam will help you to maintain your overall health.

VIHA’s new Mobile Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) service has set up shop outside Campbell River Hospi-tal.
Officially launched Oct. 4, the mobile unit is bringing the latest medical imaging tech-nology to the Camp-bell River, Comox Val-ley, Duncan and Port Alberni areas.
“The mobile MRI is a great benefit for patients, and VIHA is pleased to bring this service to (these) com-munities,” said Don Hubbard, VIHA Board Chair. “Most patients will be able to receive their scans in the mobile MRI unit there-fore reducing the need for patients to travel to larger centres for diag-nostic testing.”
The mobile unit, housed in a specially designed 16-meter-trailer, will spend one to two weeks in each community at the out-set and rotate to the next community over a weekend.
The mobile MRI is a significant investment in health care in these communities. Final purchase price for the MRI system including the trailer was approx-imately $1.9 million while infrastructure
costs totaled approxi-mately $1.1 million.
“T he funds our regional hospital dis-trict invested in this equipment will have a direct benefit to those who live here,” said Claire Moglove, Chair
of the Comox Strath-cona Regional Hospital District. “Our region is geographically very large, and having access to MRI technol-ogy close to home will improve health care delivery to so many who had to travel great distances before.”
Specially designed parking pads con-structed earlier this year at the four acute sites will support the mobile MRI trailer. The MRI system will be operated by VIHA with an annual operating cost of $1.4 million.
“The mobile MRI will have a positive and sig-nificant impact on the ability of our local spe-cialists to diagnose and manage injuries and disease,” said Radiolo-gist Valerie Astrope.
The MRI is used to take images of organs and tissues inside the
body. Through MRI, radiologists are able to view detailed internal structures of the body which in turn supports the diagnosis of many types of injuries and medical conditions.
The use of MRI has increased exponen-tially in recent years as the technology has improved and become more and more effec-tive in diagnosing inju-ries and diseases.

Victoria band CURL will bring their eclectic mix of blues and clas-sic rock to the Heriot Bay Inn (HBI) tonight.
Performing songs in the style of Janis Joplin, Etta James and Aretha Franklin, CURL features Helen Davies on lead vocals and guitar, Dee Cooper on keyboards, Susan Johnson on bass guitar and Christa Rossner on drums.
“We’re pretty excited about playing at the Heriot Bay Inn again,” said Davies. “All of us
love Quadra Island and really appreciate the wonderful people who come to the HBI to see us.
“It’s true what they say: ‘if there’s no audience, there ain’t no show’ – and we’ve always had wonder-ful audiences on Quadra!”
Primarily a blues band, CURL also plays a wide variety of music with cross-generational appeal including songs by Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, the Temptations,
the Mavericks and even Tennessee Ernie Ford.
Operating in and around Victoria for the past ten years, CURL was featured at Victo-ria’s 2009 Loudspeaker Festival; at the 2010 Rosedale Ridge mini-festival at Cowichan Station; and earlier this year opened for a w a r d - n o m i n a t e d bluesmen Bill Johnson and David Vest.
CURL was a featured act at the 2012 Spring Blues Party, put on by the Haro Strait Music Society.

Escaping from and escaping to is a compli-
cated process. It is hardly ever
all good, it is almost always difficult, and it can bring unexpected results as well as those that were expected.
Campbell River-based Peregrin Pub-lishing is a group of award winning writers and illustra-tors who, between them, have 40 years of experience in the industry. The group
was formed to give local writers a venue for their work. Tomor-row at the Maritime Heritage Centre from
1:30-4 p.m., Peregrin launches Escape, an Anthology from North Vancouver Island and the Discovery Islands.
This book explores the theme in many of its permutations and disguises through short stories, graphic stories and poetry. And while the set-ting of the works is
not always local, the viewpoint is that of a North Islander. Come and hear local con-tributors give presen-

Although we’re com-monly told ‘You are what you eat’, we are, in fact, only what we digest.
And according to research, many of us are not digesting very well. Join the author of You Are NOT What You Eat: How Digestive Problems Might be Making You Sick for a fascinating look at how to improve one of your body’s most vital functions – digestion.
This program will be presented at the Campbell River Branch of the Van-couver Island Regional Library, on Wednesday, Nov. 14, from 6:30-7:30 pm. The author first spoke at
the library last summer, but his presentation was so popular that he has offered to return for those unable to attend the first time.
Whistler BC author Van Clayton Powel is a former nurse who specialized in addictions treatment and emergency psy-chiatric assess-ments.
He also spent years in Asia training in tradi-tional medical systems,
martial arts, yoga, and meditation. Inspired by
his own battle with chronic digestive problems, Powel was surprised to find the solu-tion not in what he ate, but in how he ate-an approach that had been used successfully in Asia for thousands of years, yet fits
in perfectly with the latest medical science.
“We keep blaming
foods for our digestive problems,” says Powel,” – wheat, dairy, gluten, meat, etc. I’m convinced a huge part of the equation is not the food, but our damaged and ineffective digestive systems. In my case, my digestive problems were so bad I thought I was going to have to survive on a diet of white rice and a few steamed vegetables for the rest of my life. Today I can eat anything I want without a problem, and all my symptoms have disap-peared.”
Powel is the founder of Mind Body Fitness, Inc., and has taught advanced health and fitness tech-
niques to thousands of clients, including Olym-pic athletes and coaches, the Canadian National Snowboard Team, and cor-porations like VISA and Intrawest.
His website at http://youarenotwhatyoueat.com/home/ contains more information about his unique approach.
This is a free program at the Campbell River Library and all are wel-come.
You can also check out the library’s website at www.virl.bc.ca to find more health resources in our catalogue and informa-tion databases.

Associated Tire owner Kermit Dahl is brac-
ing for the loss of the moustache that he has been sporting since 1981.
And, the goatee goes with it.
Dahl joins hundreds of Campbell River men who are taking up the “Movember” challenge to help defeat prostate can-cer. But, instead of growing a ‘stache, he’s losing one. Dahl was challenged by employees David Dahl and Jordan Hirschfeld who are confident they will reach their goal of raising $5,000 by month’s end. They have about $4,000 to go.
“It’s a good cause,” Dahl says. “All of us have been touched by cancer.” Back in 2005 the Campbellton tire shop owner shaved his head to raise money for the Cops for Can-cer campaign. His
mother-in-law, Carol Frank, had been diag-nosed with leukemia that would take her life.
Readers who want to help the cause and make sure Dahl is forced to shave away his trademark facial hair can donate by going to Movember.com (Canada) on the Internet. Click on “Donate” in the navigation bar, type in “Tired of Cancer” and follow the prompts.
Movember cam-paigns with similar challenges are playing out in scores of busi-nesses across the city.
On Nov. 29 Byron “Mo” Maier is throw-ing a must-attend bash at Moxie’s from 6 to 10 p.m. Maier’s annual “A Mo for the Bros” gala supports prostate can-cer and men’s health initiatives. There will be prizes and a silent auction. Last year, about 100 showed up.
“This is my third
year of involvement with the Movember charity,” Maier says. “It is a rather special event for me as this cancer has affected
two of my family members – my father is a prostate cancer survivor and my uncle was recently diag-nosed with this dis-
ease. Prostate cancer really hits home.”
Maier says any local
business people who want to contribute to the event can reach
him at [email protected]
Unlike Kermit Dahl, normally guys regis-ter at Movember.com with a clean-shaven face on Nov. 1. For the rest of the month, these “Mo Bros” groom, trim and wax their way into the annals of fine mous-tachery. Supported by the women in their lives, “Mo Sistas,” Movember Mo Bros raise funds by seek-ing out sponsorship for their Mo-growing efforts. These Mo Bros become walking, talk-ing billboards for the 30 days of November. Through their actions and words, they raise awareness by prompt-ing private and public conversation around the often ignored issue of men’s health.
Last year, more than $42 million was raised in Canada.

Stigma of dementia another barrier for C.R. families
Campbell River families
living with the impact of dementia are also coping with stigma, according to a new study.
Nearly three-quarters of people with dementia, and 64 per cent of family
caregivers, believe there are negative associations for those diagnosed with dementia, says Alzheimer’s Disease International.
Another alarming statistic revealed in the ADI report: 40 per cent of people with dementia say they have been avoided or treated differently. The report puts a spotlight on stigma as a real issue that
impacts individuals and families who are living with Alzheimer’s disease,” says Jane Hope, local support and education coordinator for the non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C. For more information contact Hope toll-free at 1-800-462-2833 or [email protected]. For more information on Alzheimer’s disease visit www.alzheimerbc.org.

BRIAN KIERANCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Strathcona Regional District (SRD) Director Jim Abram says there is no way tidal power generation projects should be considered in south Discovery Passage and Seymour Narrows.
He also questions why a public meeting on a proposal to inves-tigate tidal potential is being held at River-corp’s offices in Camp-bell River rather than on Quadra where the stakeholders are con-centrated.
However, Scot Mer-riam, the principal of the proponent, Nanaimo-based SRM Projects Ltd., says some of Abram’s con-cerns are valid. “It is possible some areas are not the best for development. That’s why we have these pro-cesses.” He also says he will certainly consider
a public meeting on Quadra and will con-tact Abram to discuss a suitable venue.
The engineering firm has applied for inves-tigative licenses for the purpose of deter-mining the potential for tidal power in this area. An open house will be held in Nov. 22 to provide interested parties with informa-tion about the pro-posed investigative activities. The meeting will be held between 7 p.m. and 8:30 in the Riv-
ercorp boardroom.But Abram says: “At
least 50 per cent of the water area applied for is within the jurisdic-tion of Area C of the regional district. As the Area Director I have already commented to the BC Lands Branch on the inappropriate-ness of applications in this area due to extreme tidal action and weather events.”
Abram says he sup-ports tidal energy and gave his blessing to the Canoe Pass tidal energy tenure and rezoning at Maude Island. “This is quite different. There is the tug and barge traffic and their incred-ibly deep running tow lines. And there is the commercial and rec-reational fishery to be
considered, fishing at depths of up to 250 feet. “The portions in Area C will require zoning amendments through t h e S t r a t h c o n a Regional District. This entire area has been applied for in the past and was unsuccessful. So why are we hav-ing to go through it again?”
Abram says holding the meeting at River-corp could leave his Quadra constituents with the impression this is a Campbell River sponsored event. “It will be difficult for them to attend an event of this importance in Campbell River rather than on Quadra Island.”
On Tuesday Camp-bell River City Council
adopted a motion by Coun. Andy Adams to send a letter of sup-port for the approval of SRM’s investigative licenses to the Minis-try of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations.
North Island NDP MLA Claire Trevena, a Quadra resident, says her party is very interested in exploring green energy initia-tives and “tidal power is more viable that wind, solar or run-of-river.” She cautions that the NDP remains very concerned about t h e g ove r n m e n t ’s “secret deals” with independent power producers that have saddled BC Hydro with long contracts for very expensive power.

It is with deep regret we announce the passing of Gayle (Wolsey) Gardham on October 25, 2012. Gayle was born in Calgary, October 28th,1953 with an innate sweetness that would touch everyone who met her.
One of Gayle’s great gifts was her ability to feel compassion and kindness for everyone she met, and she shared her heart genuinely with so many people. Her passion and excitement for life was infectious; there was truly no one more excited at a rock concert than Gayle, who was guaranteed to lose her voice after every single one. Although Gayle had a well known love for music and could sing along to any Bob Dylan or Rolling Stones song, she is most recognized and admired for her love of her sons, Mark and Dylan. Gayle raised these two wonderful boys, who exemplify their mom’s best qualities in their own quiet ways. No mom loved her children more. Gayle was also blessed with a new love later in life. Murray and Gayle were together for 17 years and built a wonderful life, fi lled with grandchildren, travel, fi shing, and a winter home in Arizona. Gayle was the third born of four siblings, and our family has been blessed because of the way these siblings loved and supported each other through all of life’s ups and downs. Together, learning from their mother’s example, they have taught our family values, strength and togetherness. Gayle was a pillar in our family and made each and every one of us feel important and heard. Her presence in our lives has made a deep impact forever. Gayle used her beautiful heart in her work in corrections, social service and for Government Make Work projects, and through volunteering for the Red Cross and Run for the Cure. Gayle is survived by her loving husband, Murray who did not leave her side during her last few months; her sons Mark (Terra) and Dylan (Natalie); her step-daughters Shawna and Cheri (Rod); her sister Colene (Dave), her brothers Ray (Shelley) and Clay (Monica); and her loving grandchildren, nieces and nephews, family and friends. Gayle requested there be no funeral service, however, a Celebration of Life will be held at a yet to be determined time. In lieu of fl owers please make a donation in Gayle’s honour to a Women’s Transition House of your choosing. The family would like to thank the staff of Vancouver General Hospital’s Leukemia ward for their compassionate care and support.
Gayle- in the words of your favourite artist, Bob Dylan- “May God bless and keep you always, may your wishes all come true, may you always do for others, and let others do for you. May
you build a ladder to the stars and climb on every rung, May you stay forever young.”
Gayle Gardham (nee Wolsey)

Daphne passed away suddenly on November 1, 2012 at her home in Comox at age 37. Daphne is survived by her husband Bill Robertson, daughter Caitlin, sons Blaine and Logan and her only Uncle, Bryan.

Daniel Edwin Haines passed away Oct 30th, 2012 at 74. He was predeceased by his mother Muriel Robinson and Father William Haines. He leaves behind his sister Yvonne Hunter and brother Darwin Haines, his twins
Ronny and Donny Haines, his nieces Sandy and Debbie Haines. He will be greatly missed by his two step daughters Tamara Green, Heather Humchitt, granddaughter Felicia Green, and grandson Kaiden Wood.
Dan was born in Nelson BC, a painter by trade working most of his life in Campbell River as well as up and down the coast and in Alberta. He had many skills he used for employment such as working for his brother in-law Bob on the tug boat and working in the logging industry.
After years of moving from town to town he landed in Fort Nelson where he stayed some years meeting many friends there. He returned to Campbell River to live out his remaining days with his sister, daughters, and grandchildren.
Dan was also an artistic painter and always had crafts and projects on the go. Many people have his artwork proudly displayed in their homes.
There is so much to say about Dan and his character, but most of all is how much we will all miss that “blackfoot Irishman.”
We will be having a celebration of his life on Saturday afternoon, for information please call Lisa at (250)203-4991

White Hat Clean-ers and the Salvation Army hope to build on the momentum of last year’s record-setting year of donations with the launch of the 17th annual Coats for Kids Campaign.
Since the campaign began in 1995, White Hat has received and cleaned more than 20,000 coats, mittens, pi l lows, sweaters, pants, and sleeping bags.
The items are then turned over to the Sal-vation Army which distributes the items to the needy through its Community and Family Services Pro-gram and Lighthouse Centre during the fall and winter months.
“One of the things I find very unique about this is, they (White Hat) clean all the
things before donat-ing them,” says Kevin Mack, Salvation Army Community Ministries
Director. “And being on the giving end, people really appreciate that, to get something clean
and looking almost brand-new.”
Rob Harris and his wife, Linda, co-owners
of White Hat Cleaners, purchased their first dry cleaning company

Blame the Driver, Not the Highway
After many horrific motor vehicle crashes in our province comes a call for highway improvements. For the most part, the call should be for driver improvements instead. Travelling past the site of one such recent incident in my neighbourhood it struck me that inappropriate speed, failing to maintain space margins, lack of lane discipline and poor communication needs to be improved before the highway does.
It almost goes without saying that the ma-jority of the drivers have difficulty follow-ing speed limits. This is a particularly poor practice when the road conditions are not ideal, yet you will often see vehicles speed-ing and passing when traction is less than optimal. Travel speeds below the posted limit may be called for to maintain safe travel.
Space margins and lane discipline go hand in hand. Tailgating, changing lanes too closely in front of following vehicles and failing to maintain a clear space in the adjacent lane to leave yourself an out are commonly ob-served in daily driving. Add the inability to always maintain a proper lane position and the risk of collision rises.
When is the last time that you saw a driver who failed to signal? Chances are you see this every day. You may also notice that much of the signaling is done after the vehi-cle starts to make the signalled move. This is really wasted information as the signal needs to be made well before the move so that other drivers may prepare for it.
Before you complain about the highway, make sure it is not yourself that is the great-er hazard!

in 1994 and just one year later, decided they wanted to get involved with giving back to the community.
“When the Salvation Ar my needed help
with gathering coats, blankets and such we jumped at the chance to help,” said Harris in a press release. “It’s been a great partner-ship and the support from our customers
and the community is overwhelming with the number and quality of garments.”
Gently used coats, blankets, gloves, and toques for both chil-dren and adults can be
dropped off at White Hat Cleaners, located at 601 11th Ave. Mon-day to Friday from 8 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. and on Saturdays from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. All the items will be cleaned by Har-
ris and his crew then delivered to the Salva-tion Army, which has been able to help sev-eral people in the com-munity.
“We are very grate-ful to Rob and his team
at White Hat and the community at large for their support over the years,” Mack said. “It’s also such a nice bonus that they profession-ally clean all the dona-tions free of charge.”
Harris said a few coats have already started to come in, but he’s expecting dona-tions to pick up as the weather changes and people start to dig out their old winter coats.

As the holiday sea-son approaches, a time when people are typically feeling more generous, you may find that you’re get-ting more requests to donate to charities.
And while there are many legitimate
companies and chari-ties calling you for fundraising purposes, it’s a good idea to take some precautions and be informed.
Nov. 1-7, 2012 was Crime Prevention Week and the B.C. government teamed
up with Consumer Protection BC to help keep families and communities safe from crime.
The following tips can help protect you from telephone chari-table scams:
■ Ask for the infor-mation to be sent to you in writing before you commit to a dona-tion.
■ Ask the telemar-keter to call you back and, in the meantime, call the charity your-self to confirm they are actually running a fundraising campaign.
■ You can also visit the Canadian Revenue Agency website at www.cra-arc.gc.ca/chrts-gvng/lstngs/menu-eng.html to ensure that a charity
is registered.
■ Ask them to give you the charitable tax number of the charity.
■ Remember that if you are told you have won a prize, you should never have to pay money to receive the prize.
■ If you do decide to make a donation over the phone, always keep a record of the date, the name, address and phone number of the per-son and charity you spoke to, the amount you donated and the method of payment. Always be cautious around giving your credit card informa-tion over the phone.
Signs of a scam include high pressure tactics or threatening
telemarketers who want you to make a donation immediately.
If you believe you have been scammed, you can file a com-plaint with your local police and the Cana-dian Anti-Fraud Cen-tre at 1-888-495-8501 or at their website: www.phonebusters.com/english/common_con-tactus.html
Consumer Protec-tion BC licenses and regulates certain telemarketers in the province, including companies calling on behalf of charities if they are taking pay-ment over the phone.
For more informa-tion around telemar-keting in B.C. or to find out if the tele-marketer calling you on behalf of a charity is licensed, please visit: www.telemarket-ingrightsbc.ca

The No. 1 Autobody Bantam A Tyees played a pair of games last weekend; a Division 1 regular season game at home against Victoria Racquet Club (VRC) and an exhibition game in Port Alberni.
The Tyees have had their ups-and-downs in the early going of the regular season. While the effort has been there most of the time, they haven’t had a complete team game and it’s shown on the scoreboard. They were on the wrong end of a 4-2 score against Juan de Fuca after leading most of the game and also lost a 5-4 game against Cowichan Val-ley at home.
On Saturday, Nov. 3, the Tyees hosted Victo-ria Racquet Club (VRC) at Rod Brind’Amour Arena.
The game started fast and VRC worked a set play off of a face-off to find the open player at the side of the net for a tap-in goal to take the early lead.
The Tyees replied quickly as Josh Coblenz leveled the score with a tap-in rebound off a
scramble. With their close-but-
no-cigar efforts fresh in their minds, the Tyees kept trying to put everything on the Vic-toria goal. That paid off as Coblenz wired a shot that over-powered the Victoria goalie to give the Tyees the lead.
Now fully engaged and motivated, Sage Lim worked some magic to put a shot on net that the VRC goalie couldn’t quite control. Coblenz
jumped on the rebound and buried it for a natu-ral hat-trick and a Tyee 3-1 lead at the end of the first period.
The second period had stronger forechecking by the Tyees, combined with good break-outs of their own end. Coblenz got the puck to Liam Rivett at the point for a howitzer of a shot that Dickson redirected for the fourth Tyees’ goal. Second period ended with the score 4-1.
Tyee goalie Kyle Franceschini was play-ing well and control-ling rebounds but VRC managed to score two quick goals to narrow the Tyee lead to 4-3.
That’s when Lim made a sick deke in the offensive zone, Coblenz followed up and snapped a wrist shot into the top corner to restore the two goal advantage.
The Tyees took advan-tage of a power-play with Brendan Hoff firing a cannon on net that the VRC goalie never saw as it went by him for a 6-3 lead. VRC made it 6-4 with two minutes to go but gave up another to Lim as he put the biscuit into the empty net for a final
score of 7-4. The Tyees out-shot VRC 47-26 in this game.
O n S u n d ay t h e team travelled to Port Alberni to take on the Bulldogs.
Tyee goalie Dominik Bellefleur got the start and played well in net. The Tyees applied forechecking pressure early, resulting in a Port Alberni penalty at 14:39 of the first period. Some patient puck movement resulted in the Tyee’s Darian Swift taking a pass from Dustin Kew at the right hash-mark and rocketing a quick snapshot to make it 1-0 Tyees.
The Tyees dominated the next six to seven minutes, with Alberni rarely getting the puck
deep. Coblenz found a wide open Kew at the blueline. Kew quickly snapped a shot that Lim tipped to make it 2-0. The second period started with the Tyees creating all kinds of chances but failing to score.
Coblenz was leading by example as he was hitting anything that got in his way. He was rewarded for his efforts soon after when he beat the Alberni goaltender for a 3-0 lead.
In the third period the Tyees got a little too aggressive clearing the net and found them-selves down two men. Port Alberni wasted little time scoring to make it 3-1.
With five minutes left
in the third, Lim found Dickson open behind the net and as the D-men left the front of the net, Coblenz snuck in and received a perfect Dickson pass. Coblenz snapped a shot high blocker side to make it 4-1. Coblenz put the icing on the cake as he raced in to find the loose puck 10 feet out in front of the Alberni net with nothing but the goalie facing him...5-1 Tyee victory.
The Tyees are head-ing to Penticton for a tour nament Nov 9-12. Coaches, players and families extend their appreciation for those who have or are currently serving in the Canadian Armed Forces…lest we forget.

The Mainstream Biological Consulting Peewee B Tyees played its second league game last Saturday versus Saanich at Pearkes arena in Victoria.
The game started with a bang as Riley Billy put one past the Braves net minder but the rest of the period saw the Tyees trying to keep up and their goal-keeper stopping shot after shot. Saanich would tie up the game in the last five minutes of the period.
Five minutes into the second period affiliate player Heydon Camp-bell came down the ice in a breakaway on the power play to make a beauty shot that ended up in the upper right hand corner of the net to make it 2-1 for the Tyees. Ben Wellman and Dakota Sinclair also got on the scoreboard this game. A penalty shot for the Tyees in the third was stopped by Saanich which was soon followed by a Saanich goal on a two-man advantage. With
over a couple minutes left on the clock and Saanich trailing one goal Saanich pulled its goalie but the Tyees came out on top with a win of 4-3. On Sun-day the team faced Victoria Racquet Club. This game emotions proved to run high and despite the Tyees play-ing well against the faster team, the Tyees played shorthanded a lot of the time and goaltender Sam Ellis (with 37 blocked shots this game) and the Tyees defence were kept busy trying to keep the puck out of the net.
Sage Cameron and Wellman managed to get the puck past the RC goaltender with helpers from Gordon Ludvigson and Nicho-las Williamson. Final score for this game, 7-2 Victoria. The Tyees are at home Satur-day, Nov. 17 4 p.m. vs. Nanaimo in exhibi-tion play and a league game at home on Sun-day, Nov. 18 at 12:45 p.m. vs. the Oceanside Generals.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 2012 | CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR | B1
Remembrance Day on November 11 commemorates the elev-enth hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of the year 1918. This is when the Armistice was signed and is also the date marking the of cial end of the First World War. To com-memorate this day, you are invited to participate in the annual Poppy Campaign, the Royal Canadian Legion’s main source of fundraising, which allows this organization to continue its work with veterans in need.
Nowadays, Remembrance Day includes all wars that have occurred since the Great War. Indeed, there has not been a single day since 1918 that has not been marked by a war or armed con ict somewhere on this planet. So, to put an end to all wars, people across the country wear poppies in their lapels and decorate war memorials with wreaths and bunches of pop-pies on November 11.
Why poppies? Because this red ower recalls the famous poem “In Flanders Fields”, written by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae during the First World War. This is the most frequently read and quoted poem about war. It is the men-tion of poppies in the rst and last verses that has turned this ower into an emblem of remembrance and a symbol of new
growth in the devastation left by war.
We must all remember the terrible toll wrought by the First World War: the death of 16.5 million people, including 9.7 million military personnel. The Second World War, the bloodiest con ict in our history, saw the deaths of 60 mil-lion souls, one third of which were mili tary personnel. Please visit www.veterans.gc.ca for more information about the Remem brance Day campaign.

REMEMBRANCE DAYNOVEMBER 11, 2012
Campbell River Ceremony at the Cenotaph 11:00am
During the month of November many Cana dians, veterans, war widows, and family members take part in annual pilgrimages to the elds of battle abroad. Of course, this custom
does not often include the general public, but it is still possible to perpetuate this tradition in a tangible way by visiting one of the war memorials in your area.
There are more than 6,600 memorials across Canada commemorating veterans and those who lost their lives. On November 11, Remembrance Day, why not take your family to a park or cem-etery to visit a war memorial? Make the most of this moment to teach the younger gene ration about the importance of honouring those who sacri ced their lives for the freedoms we enjoy today.
This is also a marvellous opportunity to teach your children more about the work carried out by historical societies in communities across the country. Indeed, it is these societies who often help to pass on this heritage to those Canadians willing to listen. Your local histori-cal society will be able to share literature and maybe even personal stories about the people from your town who went away to ght.
The Canadian government has developed programs to ensure that the cenotaphs and other monuments erected to the memory of those who lost their lives are maintained in an appropriate manner and that military events comprise all the suitable pomp ceremony. These programs also aim to help communi-ties organize moments of silence in honour of fallen soldiers, a central feature of any Re mem-brance Day ceremony.
A place of refl ection
In Flanders fields the poppies blowBetween the crosses, row on row,That mark our place; and in the skyThe larks, still bravely singing, flyScarce heard amid the guns below.We are the Dead. Short days agoWe lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,Loved and were loved, and now we lieIn Flanders fields.Take up our quarrel with the foe:To you from failing hands we throwThe torch; be yours to hold it high.If ye break faith with us who dieWe shall not sleep, though poppies growIn Flanders fields.
– Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae

Campbell Riverites take the time to remember loved ones who were affected by war.

to the values and peace of mind we Canadians enjoy as a result of the willingness of our menand women to sacrifice for theircountry.

ROY GRANTROY GRANT
With proud thanksgiving, a mother for her children,England mourns for her dead across the sea.Flesh of her flesh they were, spirit of spirit,Fallen in the cause of the free.Solemn the drums thrill: Death August and royalSings sorrow up into immortal spheres.There is music in the midst of desolationAnd a glory that shines upon our tears.They went with songs to the battle, they were young,Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,They fell with their faces to the foe.They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.At the going down of the sun and in the morningWe will remember them.
They mingle not with laughing comrades again;They sit no more at familiar tables of home;They have no lot in our labour of the day-time;They sleep beyond England’s foam.But where our desires are and our hopes profound,Felt as a well-spring that is hidden from sight,To the innermost heart of their own land they are knownAs the stars are known to the Night;As the stars that shall be bright when we are dust,Moving in marches upon the heavenly plain,As the stars that are starry in the time of our dark-ness,To the end, to the end, they remain.
Laurence Binyon
For the FallenFor the FallenIn life one man can seldom seeHis impact in societyOur soldiers fight to blinded eyesTo allow us all to live our livesTaking up arms against a foeTo save us from the pain they knowTo give us all out libertyThey bear the brunt of miseryNo greater duty can one bearAn act of courage few would dareEndless sacrifices for 4 yearsKeeping back our greatest fears
November 11th is a day of love To remember those now up aboveMen and women far too greatTo be remembered upon one dateNo words bring justice to their fight But I will try with all my mightTo bring them honour for the daysThey fought to alay such evil waysNo act of love could be so grand As one brave soldier’s final standSo now I will say at lastWe must remember what has past
Those who have died and those who liveAnd all the thanks to them we giveThey are all those who meet the call Preserving good for one and allSo on this day I ask you prayFor heroes of our memoryThank for your sacrificeIt was this act that gave us life.

Robert Beaton (left) & Fred Grimshaw“Both of my grandfathers served in W.W.1 for the duration of the world,” Laurel Lahay tells us. “My maternal
grandfather, Fred Grimshaw (right, private with the 53rd Bn, Canadian infantry), survived the war after being
severely injured at Lens, France (near Vimy). Fred spent two of the four war years hospitalized for various
injuries. He was wounded by a bullet that went through his right arm and suffered shrapnel injuries to his
legs and arm. He also suffered from keratitis, conjunctivitis, diphtheria, tonsillitis and the flu. According to
his military medical records, a gangrene infection was discovered when a bomb casing was removed from
his leg after an explosion at Lens. He was lame for the duration of his short life. After enlisting for WWII on
June 23, 1941, in Vancouver, my father, Robert Beaton (left) served in France, Belgium, Holland and Germany.
After the war, Dad obtained his degree in Geological Engineering at the age of 30. He is now 91 and lives in
Vancouver with his devoted wife of 60 years, Joyce. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank my grandfathers
and father for giving up four years of their lives to serve their country. Their lives were ever changed from
war and we are forever indebted as our generation has greatly benefitted from their sacrifices.”
John Rankin SmithBorn in Cobalt, Ont., Dr. Smith was a graduate of McGill medical school. He
served in the medical branch of the Royal Canadian Navy from January 1941
to June 1947 in both sea duties in the Battle of Atlantic and ashore until he
was able to take complete charge of the surgical work in the naval hospitals at
Sydney and Halifax. He married Margaret Jean Stewart, RN, in 1939 and they
had two surviving children: Jeanne Christine Smith of Campbell River and Rankin
(Jane) Swift of Cortes Island. Dr. Smith passed away in Vernon in 1982.
David Herbert ScottCpl. David Herbert Scott, with the Regina Rifle Regiment in the Second World
War, was killed in action on Oct. 14, 1944 at the age of 32. He is the father of
David Scott of Campbell River and the grandfather of Dan Scott of Campbell River
and Ruth Mackenzie of Powell River. Dan honoured the family when he visited his
grandfather’s grave in Belgium on Sept. 30, 2012.

Doug MillarFew Canadians knew that the RCAF had two squadrons flying supply and sup-
port missions to the British 14th Army in Burma (now Myanmar). The 14th Army,
Britain’s largest in the war at one million men, had to be entirely supplied by air,
since the only port in Burma was Rangoon, held by the Japanese. The RCAF flew
Dakotas (military DC3s), but of course were only two squadrons of many doing
this supply mission. Douglas Millar belonged to 436 squadron which started
operations from a second airstrip in Imphal in January, ‘45, and fortunately did
not get attacked. Pictured is Millar and his crew somewhere on a landing strip in
Burma. From L-R, Haughton (Robbie) Robinson, co-pilot from Mississauga; Fred
Francis, navigator from Victoria; Olivier (Ollie) Langelier fom Ottawa; and Doug
Millar from Oliver, Vancouver and now Campbell River.
Norman Cowan DickNorman Cowan Dick joined the Royal Canadian Navy
in 1942 and served on convoy duty in the North Atlan-
tic escorting German submarines and their crews
(interred as POW’s), back to Scotland and travelling
from Newfoundland to Londonderry in Northern Ire-
land escorting convoys. After the war he purchased
and published a weekly paper for 35 years. Norm
passed in 2011 at the age of 95.
Edward GillespieEdward Bruce Gillespie joined the RCAF in 1942 and
won his Wireless Air Gunner Wing. He was a member
of the crew of a Liberator aircraft based in Ceylon on
Oct. 26, 1943 when it failed to return from a photo
reconnaissance. He was 22.
Harold SmytheHarold Smythe served in WWII with the Edmonton
Fusilliers.
Joe CowieJoseph W. J. Cowie signed up with the RCAF on June
2, 1942. He was sent to the University of Saskatch-
ewan in Saskatoon to begin his training in radar, a
new technical weapon that had been recently devel-
oped. He was assigned to England and joined up with
RAF Squadron 17 SAAS. He was trained at a station
situated on the Thames Estuary called “Blackhall”
north of London. He later served in North Africa,
Italy, Greece and Algiers. He was discharged on
Oct. 17, 1945. After the war he returned to Brandon
and worked for Canada Customs until he retired. He
passed away on July 1, 2007 in Campbell River at
the age of 85.
John DuffJohn Rutherford Duff
enlisted in the Cana-
dian Infantry on March
27, 1916. He was in
a trench when he was
killed by a bomb attack.
He had recently lost
a good friend and was
awaiting transfer to the
ambulance unit when he
died. He was 23 on Nov.
26, 1916 and is buried
