    SUTTONS FUNERAL

    this annexation question would come up. Although this proposal by Campbell River has caught me by surprise, I was able to obtain the necessary answers for the peo-ple of Area D and they can be rest assured that nothing is going to be forced upon them.

    Leigh reiterated at Wednesdays regional district Committee of the Whole meeting that her constitu-ents have no interest in joining the city which was proposed as a solution to get homes in Area D hooked up to the citys sewer ser-vice.

    I would like to politely say Area D is not in favour of this proposal, Leigh said. Im sure if the City of Campbell River holds (public consultation) meetings in our area they will hear loud and clear theyre not in favour.

    Brian Reardon, the regional dis-tricts chief administrative officer, said theres not much the regional district can do about the citys pro-posal at this point.

    In the absence of receiving any formal notification from the city regarding this matter there is nothing for the regional district to respond to at this time, Reardon said. Notwithstanding the forego-ing, many questions and concerns have been raised about the process and potential implications should the proposed municipal boundary extension proceed.

    The citys latest tactic comes following years of discussion between the city and the Strath-

    cona Regional District to try and reach an agreement to extend city sewer service to properties in Area D. The properties are cur-rently using septic systems, some of which are failing and in the process, posing health and envi-ronmental concerns.

    Talks between the two parties came to a halt at the end of July after the city withdrew its offer to hook up Area D properties, citing an inability to come to an agree-ment.

    Leigh said the problem was the citys offer was double the amount her constituents approved borrow-ing in a 2006 referendum and the regional district could not possibly accept.

    Mayor Walter Jakeway said extending the city boundaries to encapsulate Area D, which would then receive all city services and therefore higher property taxes, was discussed as a possible solu-tion with Bennett at the Union of B.C. Municipalities in Victoria last month. He said no decisions were made, the city was simply inquir-ing into the feasibility of extend-ing its boundaries.

    Coun. Andy Adams tried to smooth things over at Wednesdays Committee of the Whole meeting.

    I apologize for any perception that this was done inappropri-ately, Adams said. The discus-sion with the minister was strictly speculative.

    Adams added that the citys intent is to have full disclosure and conduct extensive consultation.

    Gas scareScotiabank staff

    had a minor scare Sept. 26 after arriving to work and smelling gas inside the building.

    A pilot light had been extinguished on the stove at (Misty Fins) restaurant, Fire Chief Ian Baikie said. The stove element had been bumped so it was flowing. That caused odour to be sensed from employees at the bank and we had to turn off the gas in that business (as a precaution).

    Baikie said the staff at Scotiabank called the fire department around 8:10 a.m. and proceeded to evacuate the building.

    The bank folks did the right thing, he said. When they smelled the gas they evacuated the bank and waited for us to come. They absolutely handled it correctly they moved everyone outside.

    Baikie said the staff were outside for probably 35 minutes, while fire crews conducted tests.

    A new agreement between the city and Fisheries and Ocean Canada will allow the city to clear out its two public boat ramps and improve the shore-line faster than ever before.

    A m e m o r a n d u m of understanding between the two par-ties was signed two weeks ago, after more than a year of discus-sions to try and reach an agreement that will allow the city to remove materials that clog the boat ramps and use the debris to re-nourish parts of the foreshore.

    The (agreement) outlines a process for ongoing foreshore man-agement that stream-lines DFOs review process and clarifies

    acceptable work pro-cedures in and around the marine foreshore, said Terri Martin, the citys environmental coordinator, in a news release.

    It was just last Sep-tember that headaches with the constant build-up of rock and other debris at Ken Forde had the city con-sidering permanently shutting down the boat ramp located across from Rona.

    If we are not able to negotiate temporary sediment storage into the MOU (memoran-dum of understand-ing), staff will be rec-ommending that we close Ken Forde boat launch permanently. The ability to stockpile material is critical to maintaining and oper-ating the boat ramp, Ross Milnthorp, city manager of parks,

    recreationand culture, said in September 2011.

    If we are able to negotiate temporary sediment storage into the memorandum of understanding, Ken Forde boat ramp could

    be cleared on an as-needed basis during the recommended annual opening period.

    The new agreement means the city will be able to maintain both Ken Forde and Big Rock boat ramps from

    May through Septem-ber each year and the city will be allowed to draw up a preliminary schedule dictating where material from both Ken Forde and Big Rock will be going each year.

    The memorandum of understanding is built on including a list of sites (along the fore-shore) that were going to restore and when and where were going to do that, Milnthorp said last year. Essen-tially, its really all about protecting the foreshore.

    T h e a g r e e m e n t applies to projects that restore natural beach slope to allow natural movement of wood and gravel and to protect the shoreline and fore-shore as well as nearby roads, sewer and water lines, and the seawalk from erosion during storms and flooding.

    In the past the city has used debris from the boat ramps to restore badly-eroded areas at Rotary Beach, Dick Murphy Park (formerly the spit), and other areas along the

    Island Highway such as Ellis Park.

    The agreement is based on the citys Marine Foreshore Habitat Assessment and Restoration Plan, complies with the Fed-eral Fisheries Act and is expected to shorten the Fisheries and Oceans review process time from months to 10 business days.

    With this agree-ment, Campbell River has demonstrated how seriously it takes its obligation to restore degraded and eroded f o r e s h o r e a r e a s, Milnthorp said. The citys Marine Fore-shore Habitat Assess-ment and Restoration Plan is an innovative long-term foreshore management strategy. This approach is par-ticularly essential in view of anticipated rise in sea/tidal lev-els linked to climate change, and this agree-ment sets an example for other coastal com-munities to follow.

    The citys efforts have already garnered provincial attention.

    Soft-shore restora-tion work at Dick Mur-phy Park received a gold level rating from the Green Shores Tech-nical Working Group, a project of the Steward-ship Centre for BC.

    Hard shore fore-shore treatments such as rip rap and sea walls remain outside the scope of this new agreement.

    A t r a f f i c c o u n t ordered by city council reveals Springbok Road does not meet the crite-ria for a crosswalk.

    The study was con-ducted following Coun. Larry Samsons call for a marked crosswalk in the 1050 block of Springbok to connect the sidewalk with the connector path to the Beaver Lodge Lands.

    Over the course of one week, traffic counts revealed an average of 1,416 vehicles each day with an average of 59 vehicles each hour.

    At the morning peak, an average of 67 vehi-cles went by while dur-ing the peak evening hour 105 vehicles were recorded.

    Pedestrian counts showed people have a period of 45 minutes where they can cross Springbok during the peak morning hour (8

    a.m.-9 a.m.) and there are more than 250 cross-ing opportunities. Four people crossed during that period. During the peak evening hour (4 p.m.-5 p.m.) pedes-trians have 46 minutes clear of traffic in the hour and more than 250 crossing opportunities. Zero people crossed the street during the peak evening hour.

    According to the B.C. crossing control manual for communi-ties with populations between 10,000 and 250,000 a marked cross-walk would be justified if there were a mini-mum of 15 pedestrian crossings each hour with a minimum of 120 crossing opportunities per hour.

    Based on the field

    observations, the pro-posed location falls well below the war-rants for a marked pedestrian crossing, said Drew Hadfield, the citys transporta-tion manager. Fur-ther...ICBC data show no record of accidents at this location or in proximity to this loca-tion.

    Hadfield also said the horizontal curve of the roadway at the site poses safety issues because of a reduced line of sight. Council chose to consider Had-fields report at the Nov. 6 council meeting as Samson said he had not had sufficient time to look at the report which was delivered to council one day prior to the Oct. 2 meeting.

    After ignoring letters from the city to clean up their properties, three property owners were given notice that if they do not fix up their property within the month they will be billed.

    At a council meeting Oct. 2, council voted to issue notices to the following properties: 351 7th Avenue, 666 8th Avenue, and vacant lots at 734, 736, 738, 742, and 744 Oribi Drive.

    All the owners were given notice during the summer that their properties needed to be cleaned up within a specified amount of time, but those requests have gone ignored.

    So the city used the last tool it has reme-dial action.

    The remedial action process is used by local governments across B.C. as a way to gain

    compliance when property owners have not responded to requests to clean up their properties, said Karl Read, the citys bylaw enforcement offi-cer. The notice must give the owner a mini-mum of 30 days to com-ply. If the owner does not comply with the notice, the city...has the ability to have the work done, and recover the cleanup costs from the property owner. Unpaid cleanup costs are added to the owners property tax account.

    Read said the owner of the house on 7th Ave-nue was sent a letter on June 22 asking that the overgrown vegeta-tion on the property be cleared and removed. Read said the owner was given 30 days from the date of the letter to comply with the request and although some of the vegetation was trimmed in the driveway, the rest of

    the property remains overgrown.

    The owner of the home on 8th Avenue was issued a letter on June 20 requesting that the household appli-ances, containers, bags of rubbish and other accumulated items be removed from the prop-erty within 14 days, but the items still remain.

    The vacant lots on Oribi, all of the same owner, have overgrown vegetation on the prop-erties and on the boule-vard that need to be cut and removed. The city sent the owner a letter on July 5 requesting the overgrown vegeta-tion be cut back within 21 days, but with no response.

    At last weeks council meeting, just as council was preparing to vote on remedial action, a member of the gallery stepped forward, sat down at the delegation table and asked if he could address council.

    Council obliged and Eric Becherer intro-duced himself as the owner of 666 8th Ave-nue. He explained he had been working out of town and had just recently become aware of the citys clean up request.

    Time has gotten away from me, I broke an ankle and I just got back into town the other day, Becherer said. I would rather not pay to have the city clean it for me.

    Council explained that Becherer and the other property owners would have 30 days from the date the reme-dial action was issued.

    Read said he expects the property owners will respond.

    Information from other municipalities indicate that most own-ers will choose to do the work themselves when faced with the option of being charged to clean up their property.

    T h e p r o v i n c e will not step in and appoint a mediator in a dispute between the city and residents of Duncan Bay Road over a pole peeler plant that moved into their neighbourhood last January.

    Residents of both Gordon Road and Duncan Bay Road spent the past win-ter, spring and sum-mer protesting the industrial operation outside city hall, the Strathcona Regional District offices and the pole plant.

    Repeated trips by the group to city council and regional district meetings to express their disdain of the noisy pole peeler prompted the regional district to write a let-ter to the Ministry

    of Community, Sport and Cultural Devel-opment in August to request then-Minister Ida Chong appoint a mediator to settle the dispute.

    Minister Bill Ben-nett responded to that request on Sept. 23 and in a letter released to the public this week, he explains his reasoning for not appointing a media-tor.

    I do not believe that the appointment of a mediator is the correct action at this time, Bennett writes.

    I come to this deci-sion for a number of reasons. Mediation requires an accep-tance of involvement by the outside party from those who are directly involved in a dispute. While I am aware that many of the local residents want

    me to intervene...I have received no indi-cation from either the city or the company (Northern Pressure Treated Wood Ltd.) that such intervention would assist in resolv-i n g t h i s issue.

    B e n -nett also acknowl-edges that re gional districts a n d m u n i c i -p a l i t i e s have the a u t h o r -i ty and responsibil-ity to deal with issues such as local nuisance on their own, without senior government stepping in.

    In coming to his decision, Bennett also considered North-ern Pressure Treated Woods cooperation

    with the city in devel-oping and implement-ing sound reduction measures.

    But critics, most notably those resi-dents living next door to the pole plant

    i n B l u e S p r u c e H o m e P a r k , say that although the noise has been reduced c o n s i d -e r a b l y there are still other c o n -

    cerns. Tracey Deller, co-

    owner of the home park, says dust from the plant gets churned up and lands on plants and doorsteps and poses a health risk.

    Theres also con-cerns about logging trucks, destined for

    the pole plant, coming around the sharp cor-ner on Duncan Bay Road on the wrong side of the road.

    Bennett writes in his letter that sprinklers have been installed at the plant to address the dust issue and the city is working with the RCMP and the Provincial Commer-cial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement Branch to deal with concerns about road safety.

    But Deller still isnt satisfied.

    She says the plant should never have been re-located from Sayward to Duncan Bay Road in the first place because its per-mit was issued incor-rectly (the city denies that claim) and it shouldnt be so close to a residential area.

    Deller says although the screech of the p e e l e r h a s b e e n

    reduced, she can still hear and feel the thun-dering of logs being dropped off.

    All the loud thun-dering, crashing, banging sounds are ridiculous, Deller says. The area dogs are even now bark-ing at the sounds and vibrations. So put me down as complaining about all the noise

    coming from the pole peeling plant.

    Strathcona Regional district directors did not comment directly on Bennetts letter at its Committee of the Whole meeting Wednesday afternoon but made a motion to forward the letter on to affected residents on Gordon and Dun-can Bay roads.

    OpinionOpinionWHO WE ARE: The Campbell River Mirror is published every Wednesday and Friday by Black Press Ltd., 104-250 Dogwood St., Campbell River, B.C. V9W 2X9. Telephone: 250-287-9227; Fax: 250-287-3238.

    The Enbridge pipeline debate is coming to a boil across B.C. this month.

    Project opponents are organizing protests in scores of communities up and down the coast, including here in

    Campbell River, and across the north while the pipeline giant confidently insists that time is on its side when it comes to winning the public relations battle over the $6 billion project.

    A Defend Our Coast day of action is set for Wednesday, Oct. 24 one day after what is anticipated to be a huge

    anti-Enbridge sit-in on the front lawn of the Legis-lature. A sense of urgency, particularly on the part of coastal citizens concerned about tanker traffic in

    narrow channels, has been heightened by the cocky rhetoric of Enbridge brass. Speaking at a Chamber of Commerce Energy Summit this week Enbridge execu-tive Janet Holder insisted the project is definitely not dead. She said the company is still investing a lot of time, effort and money ... and were going to do whats necessary to make this project happen.

    Enbridge claims it has 60 per cent support of aborigi-nals living along the pipeline route, but environmen-talists counter that this ignores the fact that 130 First Nations have signed the Save the Fraser (River) dec-laration vowing that they will never support a pipeline through their traditional territory.

    For us on the coast, the biggest concern remains the issue of oil tanker traffic. Retired engineer Brian

    Gunn, based at Strathcona Park Lodge, says Enbridge has not taken into account that more than 200 oil tank-ers will be sharing narrow channels annually with sev-eral hundred Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) tankers from new LNG terminals near Kitimat. A spill is inevitable, he predicts. At the end of the day it seems unlikely this contentious debate will be decided by well-intentioned concerned citizens camped on the Legislature lawn or by well-healed Enbridge PR teams. It will most likely be settled in the Supreme Court of Canada by our nations premiere lawmakers weighing First Nations challenges.

    Nevertheless, we still have an obligation to engage in the discussion right now and to make all our voices heard loud and clear.

    We must engage as pipeline debate escalatesOur ViewOur View

    Communication is a good sign

    We say: Despite likely court action, we still need to speak out

    Im gaga for baby sign lan-guage.

    Earlier this year, I registered for a course in Cloverdale through Surrey Parks, Recreation and Culture, hoping it would enable my daughter Elise to communi-cate earlier and reduce frustra-tion. To be honest, I also signed up because I was a little bored and the timing of the class did not disturb her nap schedule.

    It was fun. I talked to other new moms, and we met up outside of the class. We were taught hun-dreds of signs (the same ones used in American Sign language for the deaf and hard of hearing), so to keep from being overwhelmed I chose which ones I thought would

    be useful to remember and men-tally flushed the rest.

    At home, I diligently practised these signs in front of Elise, who was six and seven months old during the class. Nothing. As time passed, I dropped most of the signs and just focused on a core few: more, water, milk and eat. Around her first birthday, something clicked. Elise clumsily signed more, asking for more of what we were feeding her. My husband and I were delighted!

    More has now become ubiq-uitous for I want, and were certain it has eliminated a lot of potential frustration. Now at 16

    months old, she has about two dozen signs and picks up one or two more each week, depending on her interest in the subject and our diligence in providing her with new ones. Animals and foods are her favourite. Among

    her signs are milk, water, cheese, noodles, berry, bunny, elephant, shoes, sleep, girl, baby, book, poo (to let us

    know when shes going), tooth-brush (for brush teeth), and thank you.

    An abstract concept like thank you took many weeks while a new animal like crab involved just a couple of repetitions. Some signs seem to hold little interest

    for her, like bath (probably because she doesnt care to ask for one), and others are still too challenging for her chubby little fingers and hands. She seems just as delighted as we are that her vocabulary is expanding this way, especially when she has less than 10 words she can speak.

    She tells us which of her favou-rite books she wants to read at night by signing owl (Il Sung Nas Book of Sleep), or gorilla (My Friends by Taro Gomi).

    Apparently there are long-term benefits as well. Psychologist Dr. Gwyneth Doherty-Sneddon notes that while studies on baby sign language are lacking, what research there is shows signing

    increases spoken language vocab-ulary, reduces tantrums, and improves parent-child relation-ships (thepsychologist.org.uk).One study that tracked a group of babies found that the more the baby used gestures at 14 months, the larger his or her verbal vocab-ulary was at 36 months (Meredith Rowe, 2008). But whether or not sign language will give Elise an advantage in the future isnt what matters. What matters is that Elise is talking to us and we can understand and respond.

    Kristine Salzmann is a former Black Press reporter and mom to 15-month-old baby girl Elise. She writes monthly on parenting issues.

    We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to the people who planned, arranged and facilitated the events of the weekend of Sept. 29 and 30.

    From the time we gathered at Haig-Brown House on Friday afternoon until we tearfully left on Sunday we had a magic time.

    It was a time of memories: thinking about what we learned from our parents, writing about it, talking about it and staying in the house we grew up in and all the while creating new memories.

    None of this would be worth much if it were not for the people of Campbell River who invited us and who have worked to make our childhood home so warm and vibrant.

    The people we chatted with at the Museum on Satur-day evening, the people at the opening of Baikie Island Nature Reserve, and the people who came to the Festi-val on Sunday are our community in Campbell River, and we thank them for being that.

    We also thank Sandra Parrish of the Museum at Campbell River, Ken Blackburn of the Community Arts Council, David Brown of the Haig-Brown Insti-tute and Catherine MacLeod of HB House who left the fridge so well stocked.

    We have now gone our separate ways, back to our separate lives, but we have vowed to gather again soon. Thank you, Campbell River.

    Sincerely,Valerie, Mary, Alan and Celia Haig-Brown

    HOME BREW

    The City of Campbell River has purchased another oceanfront lot getting it closer to its goal of expand-ing Sequoia Park and of claiming as much ocean property east of the Island Highway as possible.

    Dave Morris, the citys facilities general manager, said: The City purchased the property at 503 Island Highway as part of the long-range parks plan. The waterfront prop-erty was purchased at its appraised value of

    $360,000.Morris said the city

    drew on reserves to make the purchase. Council will consider a plan to integrate this property with Sequoia Park as part of next years Financial Plan, he added.

    The property in ques-tion is the second par-cel north of the park and currently has an abandoned house on it which will soon be demolished. The parcel closest to the park was purchased some time ago and is vacant.

    Sequoia Park offers views of Cape Mudge First Nations Village and lighthouse on Quadra Island. It is the location of the Camp-bell River and Ishikari, Japan, Sister City 10th Anniversary Ceremo-nial Torii Gate.

    A 69-year-old stroke victim is in satisfac-tory condition in Campbell River Gen-eral Hospital this week after being extracted from his remote Read Island home on Thanks-giving evening.

    No less than three rescue vessels were dispatched to Read Island when the emer-gency call came in at

    7 p.m. Coast Guard spokesman Phil Hawk-ins said both the 7.5 metre Campbell River One fast boat and the 16-metre Cape Palmer-ston were dispatched from Campbell River with the fast smaller rescue craft arriving on the scene first.

    Quadra Island RCMP Const. Al MacLean said a police boat car-

    rying two EHS person-nel was dispatched from Heriot Bay and brought the patient back to Heriot Bay for ambulance transport to Campbell River.

    MacLean said he understands that the victim is a long-time resident of Read Island and lives alone. He was accompanied by his brother.

    Read Island strokevictim in fair condition A name change for

    the Queen Alexandra Foundation for Chil-dren to Childrens Health Foundation of Vancouver Island was announced recently, to clarify the Founda-tions role.

    Communities across B.C. are planning a province-wide Defend Our Coast day of action to show growing opposition to the risks posed by tar sands pipelines and tankers.

    Rallies will be held at M L As o f f i c e s across the province on Wednesday, Oct. 24, and participants will

    link arms to symbolize BCs unbroken wall of opposition.

    Local volunteers are organizing the events, in a diverse range of communities includ-ing Masset to Chilli-wack, with province-wide support and facilitation by online campaign organization Leadnow.ca.

    The majority of British Columbians have serious concerns about the expansion of tar sands pipelines and tankers, said Nadia Nowak, Local Outreach Coordina-tor for Leadnow.ca. People from all walks of life First Nations, ranchers, fishermen, business owners, for-

    esters, teachers are stepping up and com-ing together like never before to form a wall of opposition and call on our provincial leaders to defend our coast.

    The day of action will follow the Defend Our Coast mass sit-in planned for October 22nd at the provincial legislature in Victo-

    ria, which has been endorsed by more than eighty commu-nity, union, business and Aboriginal lead-ers, including David Suzuki, Stephen Lewis and Chief Jackie Thomas of the Yinka Dene Alliance.

    As a tradesperson in Northern BC, I know that environmental

    protection, climate stability, and economic security are inter-twined, said Karen Anderson, a local event organizer in Prince George. To me, the risk of a pipeline spill or a tanker accident is just too great. Too much is at stake.

    Strathcona Regional District directors shot down a proposal to webcast its public meetings, with some directors saying they would be uncomfort-able being on film.

    At the regional dis-tricts Committee of the Whole meeting Wednesday after-noon directors toyed with streaming board and committee meet-ings on its website to encourage more elec-toral participation.

    But directors were turned off by the price and the thought of having the publics eyes on them.

    I would rather have the freedom to speak, said Director Gerald Whalley, who represents the Kyu-quot and Nootka area (west of Campbell River).

    I know whos sit-ting in the gallery beside me because I check and it does tem-per what I say.

    Director Ted Lewis, who represents Zebal-los, had similar reser-vations.

    Im not an advo-

    cate of webcasting to begin with, he said.

    Im not comfort-able being filmed dur-ing the meeting.

    But not everyone thought cameras would be a bad thing.

    Coun. Andy Adams said having every-thing on film would hold directors to account.

    I would certainly hope this does change some of the behav-iours thats displayed on occasion at this meeting, Adams said.

    It would be nice for transparency and to open up communi-cation with constitu-ents. Im certainly in favour of pursuing webcasting.

    But directors had a hard time trying to swallow the huge cost estimates regional district staff were reporting.

    According to a staff report, the regional district would incur a one-time cost of $27,000 which includes $2,000 for four cam-eras that pan, tilt and zoom, $20,000 for one camera controller, as well as $3,500 for eight microphones and

    a mixer board, and $1,500 for equipment installation.

    Annual operating costs are estimated at between $15,500 and $20,500.

    I must admit I was surprised at the price tag, said Cortes Island Director Noba Anderson.

    I would love to pur-sue this but I dont think the directors will want to at this price.

    D i r e c t o r J u d e Schooner, represent-ing Tahsis, agreed.

    I believe its a good thing because it does speak to transpar-ency but the price tag of $20,500 a year to maintain this is astro-nomical, Schooner said.

    Im certainly not comfortable with that price tag.

    Director and city Coun. Mary Storry suggested the regional distr ict adopt a cheaper model, with less cameras and without the zoom fea-tures.

    It would be nice to focus on the indi-vidual directors but at this point I dont think we need that,

    Storry said. If there was some middle road or first step, perhaps we could look into that.

    D i r e c t o r J i m Abram, who repre-sents Quadra Island, said there would be no point in compro-mising.

    If you dont have a camera that can hone in, people wont have a clue whos saying what, Abram said.

    I think you have to do it right or not do it and at this price tag I would say not do it.

    But Storry said giv-ing up on webcast-ing was sending the wrong message.

    We have to grow with the new technol-ogy and to not have it on our website is a really old-fashioned way to go, Storry said.

    I think we need to go back and see if theres a less expen-sive way to do it.

    S t o r r y m a d e a motion to direct regional district staff to look into alternate, less expensive options but the motion was defeated with the majority of directors voting in opposition.

    The provincial gov-ernments careers-for-youth travelling rock show hits Campbell River Tuesday with its sights set on opportuni-ties in creative indus-tries.

    JobFest, a child of the Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Innova-tion, will set up shop at Tyee Plaza from noon to 6 p.m.

    The production essentially career coun-selling built around a rock show has visited 50 B.C. communities to engage youth while delivering labour mar-ket information. The featured band will be Acres of Lions. Visitors will be introduced to career options through face-to-face discussions with event presenters, guest speakers, career tools, interactive games and other career-related information.

    Rivercorp Executive Assistant Kim Doney, who has been helping organize the Camp-bell River stop, says the career focus will

    be on creative indus-tries, a sector with real growth potential in the Campbell River area. With that in mind the featured speakers are: Leah Tremain, of Read TV and Tremain Media; Greg Miller, a producer, director and writer with BearPaw Com-munications and Tim-berline teacher Dave

    Coad, who specializes in digital photography, computer program-ming and animation and has received the 2012 Award of Excel-lence from Prime Min-ister Stephen Harper.

    The event is aimed at young people between 15 and 25 years old but is open to the public. Carihi and Timberline

    secondary schools will be bussing 150 Grade 12 students to the event.

    Doney says two stu-dent Community Ambassadors have been chosen to help promote the event: Kyell Erickson and Jessica Dalton. They are being assisted by a third student Sarah Davidson.

    BC Hydro, the We Wai Kai and the Wei Wai Kum in col-laboration with the Salmon River Diver-sion Adult Fish Pas-sage Committee have reached a landmark agreement to build a fish passageway around a 54-year-old diversion dam on the Salmon River.

    Chris ORiley, BC Hydros Executive Vice President of Generation, said: I am particularly pleased that this is our first significant fish enhancement project with the We Wai Kai and the Wei Wai Kum Nations.

    T h e e x i s t i n g 89-metre long, 5.5-metre high rock-fill timber framed diversion dam was

    c o n s t r u c t e d o n the Salmon River between Campbell River and Sayward in 1958 to divert water into the Campbell River hydroelectric system.

    It has been an obsta-cle, and in some cases a barrier, to steelhead and salmon migra-tion.

    In a joint statement We Wai Kai Chief Ralph Dick and Wei Wai Kum Chief Bob Pollard said:

    We are pleased to be involved in a process with BC Hydro and the wider Campbell River com-munity to provide a significant fish enhancement project and improve salmon populations that are so important to our people. We are eager to get started.

    Mike Gage, Chair

    of Campbell River Salmon Foundation, said:

    Weve already put a lot of work into the fish passage options at the diversion dam and look forward to the work proceed-ing. This important project is all about partnerships and we would like to have the fish passage works in place as soon as pos-sible. This will be a boon for steelhead, coho and chinook.

    The first meet-ing about the new fish passage project between BC Hydro, the We Wai Kai and the Wei Wai Kum, and the broader com-mittee will be held in November.

    The fish passage on the Salmon River is expected to be in place by 2015 or ear-lier.

  • Gardeners Green Folk Music Club in Merville is hosting a house concert on Saturday, Oct. 20 with Tom Lewis, a performer who has for many years headlined folk festivals and maritime events all over England, Europe and North America.

    Lewis repertoire, from traditional shanties to songs fashioned out of his own seafaring background, is by turns reflective, dramatic and humorous.

    Lewis was born in Northern Ireland and that Celtic heri-tage is obvious in his clear, strong voice, evoking quiet sorrow for a fisherman lost to the sea just as honestly as it powers out a shanty to be heard above the gales.

    Lewis accompanies him-self on button accordion and ukulelebut its that power-ful vocal style and infectious humour that make him a true entertainer. He is a 24-year veteran of Her Majestys Royal Naval diesel subma-rines.

    His songs cover a wide range of nautical topics, from life on board H.M. ships, through the loneliness and lure of the sea, to traditional shanties and classic nauti-cal poetry set to his own, and others melodies. For more information check out www.tomlewis.net.

    As this is a house concert, held in a private home, seat-ing is limited and tickets

    must be reserved in advance. Ticket price is $20 per person and includes hot drinks and a big dessert buffet.

    Gardeners Green events are non-profit and all the

    money taken at the door goes directly to the performer. They will also be holding their very popular charity raffle. Reservations can be made by ringing 250-337-5337.
