The Campbell River SPCA received complaints about a pair of rogue pit bulls as far back as June and again in early September, but did not move to seize the most vicious of the pair

until after it killed a miniature dachshund.

On Friday, the unidentified Willow Point owner of the dogs agreed to allow the seized pit bull to be destroyed after an angry confrontation at his Westgate Road home with SPCA staff and a city bylaw enforcement officer

backed up by RCMP officers. The seizure came just hours

after the Mirror published a front page story describing the dog’s vicious Sept. 26 attack that left the dachshund mortally injured and its family traumatized.

The pure bred three-year-old dachshund, Oscar, was being

walked by John Miller, the 65-year-old father of the dog’s owner Sheryl Miller. Her two children, Kacee, 6 and Nevaeh, 3, were also walking with their grandfather when the pit bull leapt over its owner’s fence at the corner of Westgate and Arnason

A group of Quathiaski Cove ratepayers on Quadra Island has asked the Strathcona Regional District (SRD) to rollback oner-ous sewer system charges they say they can’t afford.

In one year charges for the 101 property owners hooked up to the sewer system have skyrocketed. The basic residential charge has gone from $299 in 2011 to $692. The basic commercial rate has increased from $1,196 to $2,769. And, the school rate has soared from $7,774 to $17,997.

Quathiaski Cove Landing Pub owner Joe Duprey, who is pay-ing more than $3,400 to flush his toilets, says the increases are “totally ridiculous” and the SRD has “totally mismanaged the sys-tem.”

On Friday Duprey and eight of his fellow ratepayers met with the SRD Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) Brian Reardon and placed several demands on the table including a rollback of the increases.

Reardon said the meeting was “very productive,” but a roll-back is “not possible” because the sewer rates are set in bylaws approved by the board. “This was the first of a few meetings that will be needed moving for-ward. We are reviewing the list of requests,” the CAO said.

include: An updated comparative list of other sewer charges in B.C.; an explanation from the SRD directors that voted for the new charges; an audit of the current budget related to the 2012 taxes; an audit of sewer repairs and maintenance per-formed by the SRD since 2008; and, the formation of a joint SRD and ratepayers committee to find a solution.

“We have the most expensive sewer sys-tem in B.C. We simply cannot afford to pay these increased rates and keep our heads above water,” Duprey told the Mirror.

The pub owner said a petition is being circu-lated amongst system users to support the protest.

“A number of our neighbours have lost all confidence in this form of government, but are afraid to come

forward for fear of reprisals.,” he said.

The system, origi-nally private, was sold to the Comox Strath-cona Regional District (CSRD) 12 years ago for $1. Two years later the CSRD implemented

what was supposed to be a one-time only rate increase.

“The (reconstituted) SRD took over this asset in 2008 and has stated it has no obliga-tion to live up to the CSRD commitment,”

Duprey said.T h e r a t e p ay e r s

would like the SRD to consider spreading the cost of the sewer system beyond the ser-vice area because it has community wide benefits.

roads. John Miller, cov-ered in blood after pro-tecting his grandchil-dren, went into shock and spent two days in hospital.

Sheryl Miller said: “What if they had gone after my kids or my dad … what then? This is not the first time these dogs have been in trouble. But, people in the neighbourhood have been afraid to come forward.”

Miller’s vet bill for unsuccessful emer-gency surgery to repair severed neck muscles was more than $800, including $100 to have the animal cremated.

Now, an Ocean Grove resident has revealed that he had a run in with the vicious pit bulls when he was visiting family near Westgate and Arnason in June. The resident fears reprisal from the pit bull owner and asked to have his name withheld.

“The pit bulls broke down the fence in their yard and attacked my dog which was in my truck. I had to smash the truck door against the one dog’s rib cage to stop the attack. I reported this to the SPCA. I went there in person and they told

me they knew the dogs and that the owner had been fined before this,” the Ocean Grove resi-dent said.

“I warned them that kids could be attacked by these animals. It’s a shame the dachshund had to die before some-thing was done. Not enough was done.”

The BC SPCA gen-eral manager of opera-tions Bob Busch said no action was taken in this incident because “there was no first hand witness and the owner of the dog attacked would not give a statement.”

A resident on West-gate Road, who also asked not to be named, confirms that the pit bulls have threatened people.

“These two dogs chased a man into my yard. There was terror in his eyes,” she said. “The kids were getting out of school and run-ning around. It was just by the grace of God that one of them was not attacked.”

She said she called the police. “When the RCMP officer caught sight of the dogs he quickly jumped back in his cruiser.”

Apparently, a “dog at large” ticket was issued by the city fol-lowing this incident,

but when the matter came to court Sept. 13 the “civilian” witness did not show up and the charge was stayed.

After the seizure of the pit bull on Friday Campbell River SPCA Manager Kathleen Embree said the Mirror story “almost wrecked it for us because it came out on the front page of the newspaper so we had to act very expediently because it was going to be an issue.”

In fact, a provincial court judge had issued a warrant to seize the dog Tuesday, Oct. 16, one day before Embree first told the Mirror there had been an attack.

Bylaw enforcement manager Pete Wip-per said the three day delay in exercising the warrant was due to scheduling difficulties getting the RCMP, the SPCA and the bylaw officer “co-ordinated.” He added that he wants the public to be reas-sured that the city “was taking this file very seriously” and “a lot was happening behind the scenes to make this happen.”

None of the authori-ties involved have iden-tified the pit bull owner. A second pit bull that played a lesser role in

the Sept. 26 attack was not seized.

KRISTEN DOUGLASCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Regional District Director Jim Abram says a petition to gage sup-port for sewer service on Quadra Island doesn’t tell the whole story.

The Strathcona Regional District circulated the petition in May ask-ing Quathiaski Cove residents if they would like to join the sewer sys-tem but only 30 per cent of affected properties were in favour of the project.

Abram, regional district director representing Quadra Island, said the petition was not a good indica-tor of the level of support.

“People were told if they didn’t send in a letter (response to the peti-tion) it would be counted as a ‘no’. So some people didn’t bother and it was counted as a ‘no,’” Abram said. “It could have been that they had forgotten, it may have been they did not care, it may have been a ‘no’. The only way to get an accurate idea is to have a referendum.”

Abram feels residents in Quathiaski Cove do want sewer service as it was the residents who approached the regional district and asked to be put on the sewer system.

“This was about septic failure,” Abram said. “We had realtors and homeowners saying we need to join the sewer system to either live there or sell their properties. We had presentations to both staff and committees that told of a number of properties that were going to be condemned by the Vancouver Island Health Authority if we didn’t put them on sewer. So we were trying to solve a problem and it didn’t make sense to put one house on, skip a few and then put another house on.”

So the regional district went ahead with a petition to seek out support

for the Quathiaski Cove sewer exten-sion project that if approved would have extended sewer service to 53 properties, joining the 101 proper-ties in the area already hooked up to the sewer.

At the time of the petition the proj-ect was expected to cost each prop-erty owner a one-time $18,400 con-nection fee, plus an annual sewer fee of $690. Abram said sewer user fees increased 132 per cent over last year and the steep price may have made property owners hesitant to sign up.

“Absolutely it’s an expensive proj-ect,” Abram said. “As soon as peo-ple saw that, why would they pay that much to join the sewer system when they have to pay that much for annual sewer costs?”

But, he said, if another 40 to 50 properties are added to the sewer system, user fees could go down by roughly 40 per cent. The regional district has also since learned it can use its Gas Tax Funds to subsidize the project and lower the price for property owners, though Abram said it’s not clear yet how much lower the cost would be.

Abram said he believes a contin-gent that were against being hooked up to the sewer system were able to capitalize on the expensive costs and persuade residents to defeat the proposal.

“The reason it got defeated was because of the way it was positioned and the lobby people had enough money to advertise – they were put-ting ads in the paper,” Abram said.

The bottom line, Abram said, is there are properties that should be serviced by the sewer system because they are less than 2.5 acres and have both a septic field and drinking water well on the property. Abram said they are “legally non-conforming.”

Quadra miracle baby will ride ferries for free


Two-month old Mor-gan Stewart-Webb has received a gift that will just keep getting more valuable as BC Ferry fares keep climbing.

The Quadra Island tot has received a “Born On Board” card,

a free pass for life on the ferry system.

This summer Morgan “came to life” aboard the Queen of Powell River as the new born, unable to breathe on its own, was being rushed to Campbell River Hos-pital.

The card was pre-s e n t e d T h u r s d ay to dad Noah and mom Amanda at the Quathiaski Cove ferry terminal passenger waiting room by Capt. Shawn Fraser, senior master of the Queen of Powell River.

Morgan, unaware of the enormous value of his birthright, slept peacefully.

In mid-August Mor-gan’s mom, Amanda, 28, went into labour three days early and gave birth in the cou-ple’s backyard wading pool.

Noah Webb, 25, a vol-unteer fire fighter, had to use his CPR train-ing to keep his infant alive.

Noah’s fellow first responders arrived quickly and the baby, still not breathing, was

rushed to the ferry.In mid-channel in

the ambulance Mor-gan started breathing. Both parents say their second child is doing great despite the fright-ening ordeal.

Capt. Fraser said: “We are here to cel-ebrate the miracle of life that is Morgan Stewart-Webb.

“It’s a great story how the whole commu-nity came together. It started with Morgan’s father who jumped into action to save his baby’s life and it

continued with first responders and the ambulance service.

“It is a rare and spe-cial occasion. Since 1960 there have been 770 million people travel on the ferries and only 25 births and the last one on this short little run was 19 years ago.”

Noah joked that he thought the ferry pass for life was “an urban myth.”

He added: “It’s amaz-ing. It costs a lot of money to take the fer-ries these days.”

A bird was the cul-prit of a wide-spread power outage Friday afternoon that shut down most of Discov-ery Harbour Shopping Centre.

Ian Baikie, acting fire chief, said firefighters received several 9-1-1 calls reporting smoke inside Reitmans cloth-ing store and burning smells in both Staples and Zellers.

“Reitmans was very smoky, we used fans to blow it out,” Bai-kie said. “Zellers had a really strong odour but not smoke and I was told Staples had a strong odour.”

Fire crews arrived at the mall around 2:40 p.m. and were on scene for just more than an hour and a half. The majority of businesses were without power and forced to close their doors for nearly two hours.

Ste phen Watson, spokesperson for BC Hydro, said 129 hydro customers were in

the dark including the mall, Discovery Harbour marina and nearby residences.

“BC Hydro believes it was a bird contact-ing two phases of the three-phase power line on the pole located behind Canadian Tire,” Watson said. “What happens is when a bird takes off from the power cross-arms, the wing span can contact

two pieces of equip-ment or power lines and cause a fault.”

Baikie said the out-age was spotty because some of the stores in the mall run off one of the three phases on the

power pole, while some run off two and others use all three.

Those businesses, especially ones with refrigerators, that have motors that use all three phases to power

their stores would have been the most severely impacted. Baikie said the motor would have heated up, and started to smoke, causing the electrical smells in Reitmans, Staples and Zellers which was closed at the time to make way for Target, expected to open in the spring of 2013. Busi-nesses that rely on the one unaffected phase of the power line still had power.

Watson said Hydro repaired the damage done to the power line within hours so mer-chants could get their stores back up and running.

“BC Hydro crews replaced the blown fuse and another piece of equipment at the top of the pole,” Watson said. “Crews then slowly and safely restored power in sections to the customers.”

More than 50 opponents of the proposed Enbridge and Kinder Morgan pipelines and increased coastal oil tanker traffic were expected to rally today outside the Campbell River constituency office of NDP MLA Claire Trevena.

Event organizer Lizz Donald says the noon rally will be one of many at MLA constituency offices across B.C. “to show growing opposi-tion to the risks posed by tar sands pipelines and tankers.”

“We want to link arms and show an unbro-ken line of opposition to tanker traffic on the coast and the pipelines that feed them,” Don-ald says.

Donald says she hopes the rallies encour-age “politicians of all stripes to more broadly define their positions on this issue.” She says the Liberals have yet to take a posi-tion on tanker traffic and the NDP has not expressed opposition to the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion. “We want cross-partisan agreement that there will be no tanker traffic expansion.”

The rally comes on the heels of a peaceful 3,000-strong mass sit-in Monday at the Legis-lature in Victoria. Support for the community-based events reflects recent polling that shows a majority of British Columbians oppose the proposed Enbridge and Kinder Morgan pipe-lines.

causing the truck to lose control. The driver then reversed his direction and headed south on Dogwood and then west on 7th. There is damage to the driver’s side of the vehicle and the driver side mirror was knocked off. Anyone with information is asked to contact the RCMP

at 250-286-6221 or Crimestoppers at 1-888-222-TIPS.

Weapons and threats

On Oct. 18 police

responded to a threats and firearm complaint on Cliffe Crescent. Three people were involved in an altercation with one male threatening another. One male allegedly produced a firearm before leaving. He was tracked to a residence on Taylor Way where he was arrested without

incident. A 35-year-old Campbell River resident has been held in custody and is facing weapons and threats charges.

Domestic assault

The Edgewater Motel was the scene of domestic assault at 2 a.m. Oct. 21 involving a

man in breach of probation. When police responded to a report of an assault they saw a vehicle leaving the scene. The driver then fled into the bush. The dog team tracked the suspect through several properties over and under fences. The suspect wisely surrendered as

the team closed in. He was arrested without incident. It was learned that the suspect had a warrant for his arrest for breach of probation and was not to have any contact with the victim. A 36-year-old of no fixed address is facing charges of assault and breach of probation.

Russian hackers claiming to represent a “Canadian Pacific” police agency are attacking Campbell River computers in an attempt to trick vic-tims into paying a $100 fine.

Sue Johnson at Odys-sey Computers says in two weeks more than 25 customers have brought their crippled computers into her shop to have the mal-ware removed.

She says her techni-cians are having a 75 per cent success rate

doing the repairs with-out having to wipe the hard drive and re-install programs from scratch.

RCMP Staff Sergeant Troy Beauregard says the police were alerted to the scam Oct. 17. “The virus locks your computer and displays a sophisticated screen with the title: ‘Police Cybercrime Investiga-tion Department. Your computer has been locked,’” he says.

“Beside the title is a coat of arms similar to the RCMP coat of arms called ‘Canadian Pacific Police Service.’ This is not an exist-

ing police agency. The virus takes over your webcam and displays a live streaming video of yourself on the screen along with other mes-sages and instruc-tions.”

Beauregard says the hackers “suggest you pay a $100 Cana-dian currency fine and your computer will be unlocked.

The right side of t h e s c re e n g ive s you options for pay-ment. This is a virus. Do not attempt to pay to unlock your computer. Contact a local com-puter repair shop and make arrangements to

take your computer in to be repaired. Local computer companies know how to fix this virus.”

Johnson says: “These Russian hackers hijack innocent websites and if you happen to visit one of these sites when it is under their control you get this download. A week ago it was hotel and travel sites.

Next week it will be something different. These hackers are making billions.”

Beauregard asks the public to please report this or other computer related frauds to: www.antifraudcentre.ca.

Coun. Ron Kerr is garnering more sup-port for his push to make Petersen and Willis roads safer for pedestrians and cyclists.

The We Wai Kai First Nation has added its voice to the crusade to install a continuous pathway along Willis and on Petersen from Willis to 14th Avenue.

“The Petersen Road, Willis Road situation is a danger to the pub-lic,” Brian Kelly, We Wai Kai administra-tor, wrote in a letter read aloud by Kerr at a council meeting

Oct. 2. “The narrow streets and lack of sidewalks make this route very pedestrian unfriendly.”

Kerr has been try-ing, over the course of three council meet-ings dating back to September, to prod the city to get moving on improvements before winter sets in and con-ditions worsen.

Kelly agrees the city can’t put off improve-ments any longer.

“The fact that during bad weather the deep ditches fill with water and overflow onto the roadway makes it even more dangerous,” Kelly wrote. “The We Wai Kai is very sup-portive of making the

safety of the citizens working and living in this area a priority.”

At last week’s coun-cil meeting, Michelle Albrecht, adult services program co-ordinator at Palmer

Place on Nikola Road, recounted seeing two close calls on Willis Road, including one incident involving residents at Palmer Place.

“I observed two of our Palmer Place resi-dents attempting to move out of the way of a large recreational vehicle, one of them slipping into a ditch,” she said. “This is just a small snapshot of a very dangerous situa-tion, one that is only going to get worse as the days shorten and the weather turns. This is a tragedy wait-ing to happen.”

Kerr also has told council he sees pedes-trians risk their lives on a daily basis, walk-ing down the narrow, winding shoulders of Petersen Road.

Despite Kerr’s efforts, council insists there’s no money in the budget to move forward with improve-

ments in 2012, and construction would have to wait until next spring.

That doesn’t sit well with Albrecht.

“City council has gone on record stat-ing it would be fis-cally irresponsible to invest dollars in upgrading Willis Road in the short term, when the five-year plan is to upgrade Willis Road to arterial standards,” Albrecht said. “Explain fiscal responsibility to the family of the person who is injured or worse, killed along Willis Road.

“It is morally irre-sponsible to continue to ignore the prob-lem.”

At council’s last regular meeting, Oct. 16, council chose to further discuss the issue during capital planning sessions of the 2013 budget plan-ning process.

The Campbell River Head Injury SupportSociety is in the market to build a new house –but it needs some help from the city.

Shelley Howard, executive director of thesociety, is asking the city to donate a piece ofland to the non-profit so the society can buildand then raffle off a home.

“We are hoping that the city will be in theposition to offer us a piece of property on thewater side or even with an ocean view so thatwe can build a house and raffle it off,” Howardsaid in a letter to council.

Proceeds from the raffle would go towardsbuilding a new 24-unit apartment building onthe piece of land next door to the Head InjurySociety building on the corner of Dogwoodand 9th Avenue.

Howard said the current facility, whichincludes suites for residents who have sufferedbrain injuries, is at capacity, and there’s a needfor more space.

“Our apartments have been full from dayone and...we have a wait list,” she said. “Overthe past year we have received numerous callsfrom the hospital about patients who are braininjured and living in the hospital because thereare no other safe affordable options to releasethem to. In some cases the costs are upwardsof $1,100 or more per day plus they are takingup valuable surgery or medical bed space.”

Howard said the families of brain injurypatients also need a place they can go for sup-port, as do the people on the society’s waitlist.

EDITOR: Alistair [email protected]

It hasn’t been a good year for heroes.Especially for those whose revered accomplishments

have come in sports.A beloved football coach was implicated for his role

in a sex-abuse scandal by one of his underlings. A renowned golfer contin-ued to struggle his way back from his own admitted indiscretions that have derailed his career for more than two years.

And there have been the usual assortment of bad behaviour and

insolence that are often followed by tearful apologies at hastily-called press conferences.

Most recently, one of the biggest heroes of all hit the ground with a resounding thud.

Lance Armstrong’s story of overcoming testicular cancer that had spread throughout his body to win the Tour de France cycling race seven times transcended his sport. It touched the lives of millions around the world facing their own difficult struggle with the dis-ease. It gave them hope. It fueled the resurgence in cycling for health and fitness, sparked charity events like the Ride to Conquer Cancer.

But as cycling’s international governing body affirmed on this week, it was all built on lies.

Armstrong cheated. He used performance enhancing drugs to achieve his remarkable athletic success. He

bullied and enabled those around him to do the same.Aside from the black mark Armstrong has tarred

upon his sport, he’s betrayed the hope and inspiration many took from his story. And he’s carved another siz-able notch in the notion that athletes are role models, people to be admired and emulated, an example for young people.

Perhaps it’s time we look for our heroes closer to home, to the people who touch us every day, who live their lives with integrity and honour instead of ath-letic glory and sponsorship riches.

We might be pleasantly surprised.

I must take exception to some of the comments made by Mr. Rees in his letter to the Editor, in the Oct. 19 Mirror.

Area D residents did not vote in favour of a $22,000-plus sewer connection to Campbell River (which smacks of a tax grab). We voted, instead, for a sewer connection for just under $10,000 per household. Area D residents have been well served by the efforts of Brenda Leigh in keepoing our taxes lower. If Area D was annexed to the City of Campbell River, our taxes would likely triple. Is this what Mr. Rees would like to see? Mr. Rees claims that Ms. Leigh is misinformed; I wish he would have asked us. We would have told him otherwise. It appears that Mr. Rees may be misinformed about whether Area D residents want to join campbell River. Furthermore, the City of Campbell River has not announced that it would hold public consultations regarding an annexation. If ever the case, I am cer-tain many Area D residents would vote a resounding “No!”

The attack of American celebritiesThere was palpable disappoint-

ment among reporters when Green-peace organizers clarified that U.S. actors Daryl Hannah and Mark Ruf-falo weren’t actually going to join the sit-in against heavy oil pipeline proposals at the B.C. legislature on Monday.

I was disappointed too. I would have liked to learn more about what a washed-up mermaid and an eas-ily confused Incredible Hulk really believe about the North American oil industry. In the spirit of celebrity slacktivism, both sent statements of support.

To be fair, Ruffalo may still be busy searching for the “truth” about 9/11. In 2007 he declared that the official

U.S. government report on the terror-ist attacks was “completely illegiti-mate” because “buildings don’t fall down like that.” I wonder what the relatives of those aboard the hijacked airliners think of him.

Hannah has had lots of free time since starring in the 1984 mermaid fantasy <I>Splash</I>. Now she’s mostly famous for getting arrested, and she did so again in Texas on Oct. 3, standing in front of earthmoving equipment building the southern sec-tion of the Keystone XL pipeline.

It’s worth noting that the project Hannah tried to stop has the support of the Barack Obama administration. The southern section from Cush-ing, Oklahoma oil storage facilities

to Texas refineries is indeed being built by the sinister foreign Tran-sCanada Corp., but it doesn’t carry the dreaded Canadian “tar sands” oil that eco-celebrities are convinced will end life on Earth as we know it.

It’s the northern section that Obama has temporarily opposed, after fer-vent demonstrations such as the one in Washington DC where Hannah’s first celebrity arrest occurred in 2011.

At that time, Hannah recited the familiar talking points of the U.S. environmentalists who exclusively target Alberta. In a new book, oil sands pioneer and Suncor founder Rick George dissects Hannah’s claims, and asks why they were

reported so widely and uncritically. Hannah claimed “the contribu-

tion to the carbon in the atmosphere is unprecedented.” George cites a Royal Society of Canada report that concludes the entire oil sands opera-tion is responsible for five per cent of Canadian emissions. Fossil-fuelled electricity generation is 16 per cent of Canada’s total. Vehicles and other transportation account for 27 per cent.

“How does the oil sands contri-bution possibly qualify as unprec-edented?” George asks.

Another Hannah quote: “I’ve been hearing about how many people have cancer that live downstream

from the tar sands proj-ect.” Canadians heard that too, thanks in large part to an alarm-ist CBC documentary by David Suzuki featur-ing jet-set movie direc-tor James Cameron.

George describes how this allegation was made in 2006 by a doctor who claimed a

cluster of rare bile can-cer cases in the remote village of Fort Chipew-yan, and blamed it on oil sands mining. Head-lines blared around the world.

George details the Alberta Health Ser-vices study that fol-lowed, identifying three such cases in 12 years. Statistically higher, yes. A general

risk, no. Other types of cancer in Fort Chip were lower than the general population.

This finding was endorsed by Austra-lian, New Zealand, U.S. and Canadian researchers. The doc-tor who diagnosed the original bile can-cers admitted: “These results were based on a small number of cases

– there is no cause for alarm.”

Was this news trum-peted around the world? You can guess the answer.

My point here isn’t to make fun of ill-informed celebrities. It’s to counteract the fawning, scientifically ignorant coverage they are routinely given by the mainstream

media.And I’m not promot-

ing the oil sands or pipelines. I’m saying they should be consid-ered based on facts, not foolishness.

For the record

In a photo published in the Oct. 19 edition of the Mirror, titled “A helping hand,” the amount of funds donated to Cameryn’s Cause was published incorrectly. The actual donation was $1,600. The Mirror apologizes for the error.

In this season of remembrance, we become more aware that many memories may be lost unless an effort is made to record them.

Seniors can leave a priceless gift when they impart their knowledge, skills and history as a legacy to family and friends to cherish for many years.Along with property and living wills, some seniors are now drawing ethi-cal wills, which is the

systematic writing down or communicat-ing of one’s intangible legacy of values to children, grand-chil-dren, family members and friends.

Aging provides opportunities for learning and emo-tional growth that can be deep and sustain-ing. Creating a mean-ingful legacy is a key part of this develop-mental process.

Internationally-known geriatric expert David Solie

defines a personal legacy as “the unique footprint we want to leave for our time on earth.” In his book How to Say It to Seniors, physician and gerontologist Gene Cohen says it similarly in his book The Mature Mind, that older people are driven by an urgent desire “to find larger meaning in the story of their lives through a process of review, summarizing, and giv-ing back.”

To help seniors cel-ebrate their lives and memories, and start a legacy project for this winter, the Campbell River Library will be hosting a “Write Your Memoirs Workshop” on Wednesday Nov. 7, from 2-3:30 p.m., presented by Diane Hoffmann, Certified Professional Consul-tant on Aging. Diane will pass on tips to help get things started and keep them orga-nized and inspired, through her “3 easy

steps” method. Par-ticipants should bring a pen and some paper for making notes.

Further information about Diane is avail-able through her web-site at www.hofron.com .

This is a free pro-gram, especially geared to seniors. Please pre-register by calling the Campbell River Library at 250-287-3655. The Camp-bell River Library is located at 1240 Shop-pers Row.

As autumn rolls in, the Tidemark The-atre’s feature of local talent kicks off in its lobby tomorrow.

With minimal effort, the lobby is trans-formed into a vin-tage inspired lounge. Candles and twinkly lights set an intimate mood, but the talent of the local musicians is what set the scene for a comfortable evening with friends while the rain falls outside. This week is no exception with the musical mus-ings of locals Brodie Dawson, Fiftieth Par-allel, and Andreas Egg-enberger.

Eggenberger was bor n in Campbell River but his family ventured over to Swit-zerland when he was seven.

He’s been educated in classical and jazz music and has per-formed in different trio’s and ensembles. After highschool Egg-enberger moved back to his birth town of Campbell River where he picked up an old gui-tar and learned how to play and write his own compositions. Accom-plishments include winning a Vancouver Island song writing competition which led to performances at the Vancouver Island Music Festival and the Tidemark Theatre.

He has been perform-ing locally for years at different venues and events.

Fiftieth Parallel are local boys who have caused quite a stir with their unique slap-style guitar. Filled with heavy harmonics and intricate grooves, their music will keep your heart thrumming away to the beat of their drum. They’ve opened for the likes of Shane Phillip, Delhi 2 Dublin, and the Mindil

Beach Markets. Cruis-ing around in their 1986 camper van was their main method of transport over the past summer while play-ing at The Big Time Out and Rhythm on the Rock. Their debut album Weapon of the Future was released in 2011 and they are busy in the studio working on their next album

With Brodie Daw-son, It’s her voice that jumps out at you… she makes a clear, direct

hit and seduces you with a smoky over-tone. She has a beau-tiful, clear voice and communicates so very well, the honesty and emotion of her down to earth lyrics. Her refreshingly peaceful and sensual personal-ity pours out and lath-ers the soul with the mood of each song, leaving a clean finish and plenty of imagi-nation for those who appreciate a heartfelt songwriter’s work.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the music starts at 7 p.m. It is an all ages licensed event and admission is by donations. All donations go directly into the pockets of the musicians. All costs are donated by the Tidemark Theatre in an effort to bring the community back into the heart of the Tide-mark.

For more informa-tion, go to www.tide-marktheatre.com.

Three local students recently became the first recipients of two major BC real estate organizations’ gen-erous donation to the North Island College Foundation.

In February 2011, in cel-ebration of its 60th Anniver-sary, Vancouver Island Real Estate Board (VIREB) in partnership with Real Estate Foundation of BC (REFBC), established an endowment fund for NIC students.

“This award was estab-lished to financially support the educational dreams of North Island College stu-dents, allowing them to build a solid future for themselves and their northern Vancou-ver Island communities,” explains Darrell Paysen, Manager Member Services at VIREB.

“Our intention was to annu-ally award three bursaries to students attending NIC in the areas of Business Admin-istration and construction-related trades and apprentice-ship training.”

Nicholas Lade, Lane Pear-son, and Candace Pisto each received $860 towards their NIC tuition at a Foundation

awards ceremony held Sep-tember 13 in the Comox Val-ley. The award’s value contin-ues to grow over time.

Lade is a dedicated life-long learner. A member of the Rotary Club interested in bolstering the tourism industry in the Valley, he is completing his Bachelor of Business Administration, General Management degree and would like to find a way to enhance the local economy and keep the youth here on the Island.

Vancouver Island Real Estate Board supports NIC studentsYou are invited to the Young Pro-

fessionals of Campbell River (YPCR) Formal Gala Kickoff on Friday, Nov. 2 at the Maritime Heritage Centre.

Join them as they officially launch the YPCR with a fun and interactive night out filled with good food, net-working, dancing and prizes! All proceeds from the evening are ben-efiting the Rotary Splash Park.

The YPCR is excited to help fund-raise for this community project that will benefit many families in the area.

With Ryan Mennie, Campbell River City Councillor and 97.3 The Eagle Radio Host emceeing the eve-ning along with a live twitter feed, membership booth, DJ and dancing it is sure to be a great time! The Gala will open with networking from 6:30-7:30 and appetizers provided by Fusilli Grill. Following that dinner will be served with a special pre-sentation by Myriah Foort, YPCR President and co-founder about the YPCR and what it has to offer mem-bers and the community.

“Working on this Gala has been a lot of fun,” says Gala Chair and YPCR Membership Director Elise Gregg. “We have an outstanding volunteer planning committee that has come on board, rolled up their sleeves and really put in a ton of enthusiasm and energy to ensure we kick things off on the right foot. Over the past few months there has been a lot of work behind the scenes

getting the YPCR going so I am really excited to officially launch the YPCR to the community.”

The YPCR is committed to four main areas: community, profes-sional development, social and busi-ness networking opportunities for young professionals in the Campbell River and surrounding areas. Join as a member in the month of Octo-ber and attending the Gala will give one lucky person the chance to win a free annual membership!

“As a young leader in Campbell River who knows that our city is great and would love to see other people my age have a way of not just taking ownership, but be a part of a movement, when I heard about the heart and drive of the new YPCR group forming, I had to find out more. My schedule is quite full, but I knew I wanted to do what I could to help this new group get off the ground with the most successful Gala possible, so I joined the team” says Mark Myles, YPCR and gala committee member.

Available online at www.ypcamp-bellriver.com, or CR Lawyers and Remax Realty tickets are $50 until Oct. 26 and $60 thereafter. More information about YPCR is also available on Facebook or Twitter. #YPCRgala is the official twitter hashtag for the event.

Tickets will not be available at the door so be sure to get your tickets early to this fun event.

October 21 – 27, 2012October 21 – 27, 2012

Games Puzzles&ARIESThere is a lot of confusion in the air, but you won’t go against the fl ow. Let yourself be guided by your intuition and you will experience a wave of creativity.

TAURUSTime is a rare commodity for many of us. Even though you are skilful in managing your own time, you will have to wait a while for some other people.

GEMINIYou may very well start dreaming of a vacation in the sun now that the cooler weather has arrived. Redoubling your efforts at work might help you be able to afford a little travel treat.

CANCERIf you are artistic, you will be able to create a masterpiece this week. On the romantic front, you will start a project that will cement your relationship.

LEOKeep an active social life if you want to stay close to your friends. The idea of selling or buying a property is tickling your mind.

VIRGOEven though you have to devote more time to a project than you’d planned to, in the end you will feel really proud of yourself. Enjoy the sense of having done your duty.

LIBRAYou are proud of your appearance in general, but buying some new clothes or sprucing yourself up in some other way will raise your self-esteem.

SCORPIOIf you’re expecting visitors this week, you will be tempted to clean the house thoroughly. This won’t be a bad thing, as you will get rid of a lot of clutter by throwing out some useless things.

SAGITTARIUSYour comings and goings will be rife with complications this week. You are likely to experience some frustration in communicating with people; perhaps you will have to wait a long time for someone to return your call.

CAPRICORNYou might be called on to put in a few hours of overtime at work. You are look ing forward to your next paycheque, even though your new schedule doesn’t please your loved ones.

AQUARIUSYou experience some disappointment when starting a new job or a large-scale project. With a bit of patience and some serious discussions you’ll be pleased with the results.

PISCESAfter working diligently at the offi ce you need to take a break. Try to think about yourself now. An outing or even a short trip will help you to recharge your batteries.

Representatives are hitting the road to continue their tour of communities and regions throughout the province.

The seven-day, autumn road show will see the eight international repre-sentatives travel to the Kootenays, the North-east and Northern Vancouver Island.

This is the fourth road show and com-pletes a cross- prov-ince tour, allowing the international reps to build partnerships and relationships with B.C. businesses and communities in key regions and sectors, including natural gas, mining, biomass and technology.

The road show will include the eight heads of British Columbia’s Trade and Investment Represen-tative Offices from

Tokyo, Seoul, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Bangalore, San Fran-cisco and London.

It includes dialogues with businesses, municipalities and First Nations groups about opportunities they have internation-ally and government services they can access to make the most of this prov-ince’s natural advan-tages as outlined in Canada Starts Here: The BC Jobs Plan. Government trade and investment ser-vices include the B.C. Business Network, a directory of suppliers and exporters, and the newly launched Opportunities BC website, a searchable online database that serves as the official portal for interna-tional investors to explore opportunities in our communities.

Opening and expanding interna-tional markets for the province’s goods and services is one of the pillars of the BC Jobs Plan.

Also the B.C. gov-ernment has com-mitted to doubling its overseas presence by March of 2013 to accelerate trade and direct foreign invest-ment by marketing the province’s competi-tive advantages and world-class business environment.

The International Trade and Investment Representatives make local introductions to potential buyers, investors and other in-market partners. They help companies identify opportunities and offer assistance in making the right investment decisions.

For example, the B.C. government’s

Trade and Investment Representative in Shanghai, John Mac-Donald, has just com-pleted an investment road show across East China, holding well-attended events in Ningbo, Nanjing and Shanghai.

Pat Bell, Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training and the Minister Respon-sible for Labour sys, “We want businesses and communities throughout British Columbia to have access to the B.C. gov-ernment’s services and to get the guid-ance they need to open new international markets and create more jobs for B.C. families.

By sending the International Trade and Investment Rep-resentatives to B.C.’s regions, we’re mak-ing it easier for busi-

nesses and communi-ties to learn about new opportunites and services.”

Quick Facts:■ The road show

will visit the Koote-nays from Oct. 22 to Oct. 24.

Communities include Cranbrook, Creston, Kimberly, Sparwood, Fernie and

Trail, with a focus on tourism, agrifood, bio-energy and min-ing.

■ On Oct. 25, the reps will visit the Northeast, with stops in Fort St.

John and Fort Nel-son and a focus on nat-ural gas and energy; the reps

visited Kitimat, the site of B.C.’s first liquefied natural gas terminal,

during the summer road show in June of this year.

■ On Northern Vancouver Island, the reps will travel to Nanaimo, Quadra

Island and then Campbell River to meet with the Eco-nomic Development

Pilot there, with a focus on agrifood, for-estry, bio-energy and

manufacturing.Additional trade and

investment services provided by the

representatives and the ministry include:

■ International market intelligence and trade leads to help companies

sell products and services overseas.

■ Advice on develop-ing marketing strat-egy and cross-cultural business

practices.■ Connecting with

key industry, govern-ment and community influencers.

■ Seminars and

training on exporting and accessing interna-tional markets.

■ Promoting B.C. educational institu-tions to international students.

■ Organizing and supporting trade mis-sions, exhibitions and conferences

in B.C. and around the world.

Southern, Elisa -October 19, 2012

Elisa passed away peacefully with family by her side in Campbell River, on Friday, October 19, 2012 at the age of 94.

Predeceased by husband John C., son Jack W., and daughter Angela. Elisa is survived by children, David (Shelly) and Julia (Bruce); grandchildren, Joshua, Sarah, Lisa, Jack Jr., Salina, David Jr., and Shane; great grandchildren, Kiedis, Sephra, Lexi, Leah and Layn; as well as nieces and nephews.

Born in Verona, Italy, Elisa lived in Venice then moved to the countryside . She left Italy in 1947 to work in England, then eventually moved to Canada in 1951 to work in the hospital in Nanaimo. It was here she met and married husband John. The family moved to Campbell River in 1958 and there they stayed. Elisa loved country living and the family had a small acreage where Elisa grew vegetables, fruit and raised chickens to help support her family. She loved nature and was always busy at home but never too busy to spend time with friends who would come to visit. Well loved, she touched so many lives.

A Funeral Service will be held at 1:00pm, Saturday, October 27, 2012 from Christian Life Fellowship Church, 445 Merecroft Road. Condolences may be forwarded to the family at www.suttonsfuneralhome.com

It is with broken hearts, that we say goodbye to a most loved man. Father to Amber, Eric & Lilly, Husband to Selena, Son to Linda Bledsoe (Homer) & Bernie Wojewski (deceased), cherished

brother & friend to many.

Known for his “no excuses” work ethic, Stefan defi ned himself by working hard his whole life, the goal being to live and provide a good life for his family.

Stefan endured so much the last 2 years battling a brutal rare cancer. He was an inspiration, the toughest, strongest man you’d ever be lucky enough to know. Through it all, he always tried to be positive and “do” for everyone else.

He loved to be at home always “puttin” outside with a project to work on. Even though he didn’t like to admit it, Stefan loved a good piece of gossip and could spend more time on the phone than a woman! He loved to have a good time, would give the shirt off his back to a friend and was easily pleased with a whiskey & cigarette!Service to be held at a later date on Vancouver Island. Prince George Funeral Service in care of arrangements. Messages of condolence can be sent to the family at www.princegeorgefuneralhome.com

May 13, 1923 - October 25, 1987

Gordie, Dad, Grampa, God saw you were

getting tired and it was not meant to be, so he put his arms around you and whispered,

“come to me” With tearful eyes we

watched you and saw you pass away, although we loved you dearly we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating hard working

hands at rest. God broke our hearts to

prove to us He only takes the best.

We can’t believe it’s been 25 years your memories are a gift we’ll always cherish.

Love always Yvonne and all the family.

The derelict boat is gone.

“We decided to get on with it

and move it,” said Mike Gage

of the Campbell River Salmon

Foundation (CRSF).On Dec. 27, a derelict boat being

towed to Cortes Island broke free

and washed ashore in the mouth

of Willow Creek. A subsequent

washing of hands from official

agencies like the Coast Guard,

Fisheries and Oceans Canada

and the City of Campbell River

meant the boat was going to be

left to break apart on the beach

in the mouth of a potential

salmon creek.But on Wednesday, Mike Gage

and the Campbell River Salmon

Foundation secured permis-

sion from Fisheries to go in and

remove the boat with an excava-

tor. “We weren’t going to leave it

there,” Gage said. “It was right

in the estuary.”The CRSF took on the cost of

the operation and will try to

recoup it from their fundraising

efforts.Gage said it would cost under

$2,000 to clean up the boat. The

services of A. Wood Bulldoz-

ing were secured to remove it.

Gage cleared the operation with

Fisheries who said ‘go ahead as

long as it doesn’t do any envi-

ronmental damage.’ The City of

Campbell River then gave CRSF

permission to run a backhoe on

the breakwater beside Ken Forde

Park.

“I think the estuary will look

better without it,” Gage said.

Gage said the presence of the

boat on the beach wasn’t send-

ing the right message about

Campbell River. If this boat was

allowed to be left to fall apart

there, then there’d be boats lit-

tering the beaches up and down

Vancouver Island, Gage said.

The CRSF’s mandate is to help

streamkeeping projects from the

mouth of the Oyster River north

to the estuary of the Salmon

River in Sayward.


The Fisheries and Oceans Can-

ada (DFO) is assigning six new

vessels to monitor fish farming

activity on the West Coast and

five will be stationed in Campbell

River. In Campbell River on Monday

Fisheries Minister Keith Ashfield

said the B.C.-built vessels will all

be dedicated to the BC Aquacul-

ture Regulatory Program.

Three of the vessels – the

Salmon Bay, the Sturgeon Bay

and the Oyster Bay – will conduct

fish health management inspec-

tions, sea lice audits, stream sur-

veys, ocean floor sampling and

fish farm inspections.

The other three vessels – the

MacLeod Bay, the Weaver Bay

and the Maz Bay – will transport

fisheries officers as they perform

routine and surprise site inspec-

tions and enforce aquaculture

regulations.The minister said, “As the

majority of aquaculture opera-

tions are located along the coast

of Vancouver Island and in the

mainland inlets and most are

inaccessible by car, ensuring DFO

staff are able to move freely on

BC JOBS

For some, a dream job would be a vacation planner – for themselves! Vacationing in B.C. can take so many forms that it would indeed be a full-time job.

The tourism and hospitality industry is an extremely diverse industry with over 400 diff erent occupations – including occupations that lead to longer-term careers, as well as those that fi t well for those seeking part-time work, like students or older workers who are not yet ready to retire.

British Columbiaʼs tourism industry will be a leader in provincial job growth as businesses look to fi ll 101,000 new job openings by 2020, according to a study of labour demand and supply by go2, the BC tourism industryʼs human resource association.

The Tourism Labour Market Strategy, released in the spring of 2012

by go2, sets out the plan to recruit, retain and train the workers needed to keep pace with the growth projected for the industry. Nearly half of the 101,000 openings will be new jobs created by the tourism industry across the province, adding 44,220 more jobs to the provincial workforce by 2020. The other approximately 57,000 openings are due to replacements (i.e. retirements).

“The labour strategy co-ordinated by go2 is a key pillar of industry growth in the province. Without it, we simply wouldnʼt have the skilled workers in place to deliver the visitor experience throughout BC,” says Lana Denoni, Chair of TIABC, the Tourism Industry Association of British Columbia.

British Columbiaʼs location, bordered by the Rocky Mountains on the east and the Pacifi c Ocean on the west, makes it

unique within Canada. Its mountain and coastal scenery, opportunities for summer sailing, winter skiing, and other activities such as fi shing or sightseeing in coastal or inland waters or experiencing our vibrant cities all make us a world-class destination. Tourism helps to diversify our economy and also brings new community services to permanent residents.

BCʼs tourism and hospitality industry is now the single largest “primary resource industry” in the

province, generating an annual real GDP ($2002) of more than $6.4 billion in 2010, ahead of forestry, mining, oil and gas extraction, and agriculture.

Tourism and hospitality generated $13.4 billion in annual revenue in 2010. Overall, between 2004 and 2010, industry revenues grew by a total of 25.5 per cent, representing an average annual growth rate of 4.2 per cent. The provincial governmentʼs Gaining the Edge: A Five-year

Strategy for Tourism in British Columbia targets revenue growth of fi ve per cent a year that will top $18 billion in tourism spending by 2016. The fastest growing sectors for tourism job growth over the next decade are expected to be recreation and entertainment and travel services.

There are an estimated 17,943 tourism-related businesses across the province, employing about 260,000 workers, or 10.8 per cent of B.C.ʼs total

labour force of 2.4 million people.

More than 80 per cent of tourismʼs new job openings are projected to come in Food and Beverage Services (43,410 openings), Recreation and Entertainment (20,530 openings) and the Accommodation sector (18,920 openings).

“After several years of slow labour growth, the tourism industry is poised to expand,” said Arlene Keis, Chief Executive Offi cer of go2. “Labour shortages are already being felt in places like Northern B.C., the Thompson Okanagan and in the Rockies regions. By 2016, the crunch will be more acute throughout the province.”

“The tourism industry often provides people with their important fi rst job and sets them on their career path,” said Keis. “Tourism is also the largest employer of youth,

with one in four British Columbians under the age of 24 working in the industry.”

“This anticipated growth in tourism reinforces the need to plan carefully and ensure that there are enough workers with the right skills in the right communities to meet the tourism industryʼs future labour needs,” said Keis.

Boomer Gaye Dolezal of Sidney, BC says “Working part-time in Tourism Information was a fun way for me to use my great knowledge of Canadian cities. I often astounded visitors with the connections I could make to their hometowns.” She adds “People like to feel like welcome guests, not just tourists.”

COFFEE & DAILY PROCESS

The U16 North Island field lacrosse team, sponsored by Sara-toga Ventures, hosted the Pac Rim team from Victoria for a double header recently.

The North Island Rage moved the ball well in the first quar-ter, with midfielders Brady Garrett and Ryan Beauchamp find-ing Tanner Jones on attack for some early chances.

The Rage scored first, with Jordan Balon feeding Graham Evans cutting across the crease and putting it away.

In an unusually low-scoring game, Alec Molander got the only goal of the second quarter with a laser from ten yards out. Molander scored again in the third quarter on a power play. Bailey Robinson’s face-off prowess and Anthony Vigneron’s speed in the transition kept the Pac Rim boys scram-bling.

Evans found Jory Clermont with some space and he scored the fourth and final goal in a 4-0 win for the North Island team.

Big sticks Nathan Hoff, Colton Edwards, Roy Uzzel and Taylor Arbor did a masterful

job of minimizing Pac Rim’s scoring oppor-tunities. Sal Burchill, a box goalie who has

made the transition to field this year, has been nothing short of spectacular all season

and earned a well-deserved shut-out.

The second game saw North Island win 9-4

in a more typical field lacrosse game, with goals by Ryan Smith (2), Molander (2),

Balon, Griffin Whyley, Evans, Adam Mason and Kyle Maximick.

Beauchamp and Mar-shall Pay from the U14 team came up for the day and looked com-pletely at home with the faster, older boys.

Also on Sunday, d e s p i t e a d v e r s e weather conditions, the North Island Rage supported by Jackson and Associates played hard but lost their first games of the season to Vic Field 1 Team from Victoria.

The Rage ran hard and put in their best effort during both games.

The Rage are head-ing to Richmond for the third Annual Road Runner Romp tourna-ment from November 9-12.

They are hitting the streets this week and next to collect bottles to fundraise for the tournament, so keep your bottles handy.

North Island Field Lacrosse has been a successful blending of Campbell River and Comox Valley players and the team would like to thank its spon-sor, coaches and fans.

North Island Rage win double header

KRISTEN DOUGLAS/THE MIRROR

The North Island Wild Ravens U12 field lacrosse team was in tough against their opponents from Victoria Sunday morning at Robron

Park.

The Campbell River Christian School senior girls vol-leyball team are currently ranked tenth in the province for Single A schools. The team is having a great year, and hope to return to Provincials like last year.

Last weekend, the team placed seventh out of 16 teams at the Mark Isfeld/Vanier Tourney, the best ever result for the school at that tournament. Christian School defeated

Wellington 25-20 and 25-20, then beat Chemainus 25-15 and 25-6. Christian school followed up those performances by stealing a set from Vanier (a first ever for the school) and therefore finished second in the pool. Christian School moved onto the gold tier (another first for the school at the tournament) against Vanier and lost 25-10, won 27-25, and then lost 15-1.

In playoffs, the team lost to Ballenas 25-11 and 25-17 and then lost against Mark Isfeld 25-15 and 25-19 but rebounded to finish seventh overall with two wins over Highland 25-15 and 25-8.

Campbell River Christian School will also be sending 13 athletes to the X-country Island Champs in Victoria today, along with the Timberline and Carihi teams.

Fall is a time for col-lecting and harvesting food for the long winter ahead. This is espe-cially important for many wildlife species whose survival depends upon the food supplies they have gathered.

This summer M.A.R.S. rescued five baby squir-rels that were only a few days old and had just opened their eyes when their tree nest was destroyed; we sus-pect the mother died along with three of the babies. Ultimately only one baby survived the ordeal being hand fed, weaned and provided with a habitat that rep-licated the wild.

Red squirrels are part of the family of “Rodentia” and there are 365 species world-wide that also include Prairie dogs and chip-munks. T he most common squirrels on southern Vancouver Island are the eastern

grey (including the black) North American red, only found on the North Island, the Doug-las squirrel and the flying squirrel. Squir-rels are opportunistic feeders and this has helped them maintain healthy populations; unfortunately there have been sightings of the grey squirrel in our area which will eventu-ally lead to a decline of our native red squir-rel. Red squirrels have rusty red coats that are shed twice a year; their bellies are buff coloured. Their most distinguishing feature is their coal black eyes that are circled with white. Grey squirrel do not have highlighted eyes and their bellies are white. Although the red squirrel tails are bushy, they are not as full as the grey, the tails are used for balance when jumping or climb-ing through the trees.

These animals are very agile with powerful hind legs and curved front claws that enable them to hang upside down on branches or run down tree trunks. Front feet are used to hold on to their food and are very dextrous rotating the nuts and seeds to retrieve the fruit inside. Very vocal, squirrels can clearly be heard throughout the forest as they ward off predators. Their chat-ter includes growls, screeches, buzzes and chirps that are often

accompanied by foot stamping and tail jerk-ing. They enjoy a vari-ety of foods including, nuts, fruits, green pine cones, fungi, insects, birds and eggs. Pine cones will be buried in damp soil and the nuts and seeds in “mid-dens” to sustain them through the winter. One wonders how they remember where they have stored all their goodies; quite simply they mark the loca-tions with their scent enabling them to find the exact spot of the

hidden food. Squirrels are an important part of the health of the for-est as they disperse and scatter seeds from trees and plants regenerating the forest. Red squir-rels are very solitary creatures with a small, fiercely defended terri-tory. Females only come into heat one day during the year. On average these squirrels produce between three and seven babies; many will fall prey to hawks, owls, mar-ten and domestic cats during their first winter. It takes the young 18 weeks to gain inde-pendence from the mother, they will be taught how to forage, retrieve fruit from the nuts and where and how to store food for the winter months. The squirrel that is still residing at M.A.R.S. is

now an inquisitive teen-ager learning its sur-vival skills and how to open acorns, nuts, pine cones and other natural food sources. It is still figuring out what to do with the food but shows definite signs of hoard-ing which is a natural instinct they inherit.

Hopefully w e w i l l b e a b l e t o re i n -t r o d u c e the squir-re l i n t o a nearby l o c a t i o n where we will con-tinue to p r o v i d e

a supply of food; this will supplement the food it finds for itself until it feels comfort-able enough to be self sufficient at which time it will take off to find its own territory. Please remember that although squirrels are

“oh so cute”, they can be a pest if they decide to get into your attic or basement to escape the cold, they will happily chew through wood and wires that can create a household problem. Do not handle squirrels; they do have very sharp teeth and claws. Please be on the lookout for non native grey squir-rels (very bushy tails and no white eye liner), they have been seen in our area and we would appreciate a call if you see one.

These squirrels are very aggressive and prolific and could potentially lead to the decline and disappear-ance of the native red squirrel, in addition they are destroying the endangered native Garry oak ecosystems. To report injured wild-life call 1-800-304-9968, for all other call 250-337-2021 or visit our web site, www.wingtips.org

Scene & Heard

The Campbell River Art Gallery hosted its annual Wearable Art Fashion Show and Silent Auction last Saturday night.Area artists had their creations on display and the fash-ions, made from Lucky beer bottle caps, to playing cards, to pieces of sewing patterns, didn’t disappoint. Throw in some beautiful choreography and models and the show was a hit. Local artists also contributed their works of art to raise money for the Art Gallery. Sandy Baker was a main sponsor of the event.

WE CAREWE CARE about your child’s success.about your child’s success.

All – Weather Family Place is taking it outside! We expect to get windblown and wet from time to time, but we will understand more about how the natural world looks and feels when we are right there experiencing it. We will understand something new about ourselves in experiencing an environment

without walls, ceilings, or a controlled temperature. We’re going to look around for evidence of what is out there and what it’s doing. Dick Murphy Park has so much to offer us. There is the estuary, the geese, the paths, and the slugs off to one side. On the other side of Tyee Spit is the ocean, the beach, and the crabs.

Research, and probably our own experience, is telling us that our children are living more “hot-house tomato” lives than ever before. Concerns about supervision, health, and easy access, along with a plethora of entertaining activities inside our homes and around the community, are keeping us indoors. Evidence is mounting that the further our lives slip away from the natural world, the greater the risks become to our personal health and well-being.

Let’s celebrate together the marvels we have at our doorsteps. Fathers and mothers have things to share that can’t have the same thrill coming from a book or video. Together we can give our children all the benefits that come from the powerful experience of being hands-on, face-to-face with the wide, wonderous web of life. Meet us on Wednesdays at Dick Murphy Park, Tyee Spit. Family Place will be there from 9:30 am until about 10:45 am up to November 28th.

10 Things to Do WithYour Baby When Thereis Nothing To DoHave you ever found yourself just staring at your baby and wondering “what do I do with you now”? You can’t go kick around a soccer ball, or pull out the paints, or teach her to throw a slider. But the ways you interact with her now will build the base you both need in order to have a strong relationship later on. So just doing anything with your baby is teaching her she matters to you. Here are ten things you can do when it seems like there is nothing else to do . . .

1. Go for a house tour. Look out each window and into each mirror, click on the lights, check out the artwork. Talk about what you see.

2. Put on music and dance while holding your baby.

3. Make a mobile by hanging bright objects from a hanger. Hang it where your baby can bat at it.

4. Just for kicks lie him on his back and hold out things that make an interesting noise when he kicks them: a newspaper, aluminum foil or a set of car keys.

5. Sing a song or say a rhyme and move your baby’s arms to do the actions.

6. Play peekaboo. Put a dish towel over his head and say,“Where’s Mikey?” Maybe he will pull it off. If not, pull it off for him: “There he is!”

7. Let her grab your thumbs when she’s lying down, and then holding onto her wrists, pull her up gently. Does she try to stand up?

8. Water play. Put her in the high chair, put a little bit of water in the tray and let her splash.

9. Kitchen concert. When he’s old enough to sit up, give him a plastic or wooden spoon and let him bang on some pots.

10. Get a container – a shoe box, old purse or small bag – fill it with a variety of small safe objects and toys. Let your baby pull them out.

Got any more ideas?

Children need to be stimulated and nurtured so they can play, laugh,

CHILDRENdeserve a good start in life.

The Continued Child Care Crisis in BCFamilies across BC and Canada are facing a crisis in childcare, things are going from bad to worse. There is a shortage of regulated spaces, fees are high and the early childhood workforce is underpaid with many Early Childhood Educators leaving the field to earn a living wage elsewhere.

In BC there are licensed child care spaces for only about 20 per cent of children. That is only 1 in 5 regulated spaces!

The cost of childcare is high often being the second highest cost for a family after housing. The provincial median monthly cost for infant/toddler care is $875; for preschool care, ages 2.5-5 years is $665; and for school-age care is $300. Unlike other community services, childcare is primarily a user fee system. The fees families pay account for 70-80% of a child care centre’s revenue. The remaining revenues come from small government grants and fundraising. It can cost a family as much or more to pay for childcare from birth to school-age entry as it does to pay for university degree program. There are no RESP’s (registered education savings plan) for childcare!

Early Childhood Educators who generally have 2 years of college- training are underpaid and typically have no health or pension benefits. After 5 years of working in the field approximately 50 per cent leave the field to find better paying jobs.

Here in BC two non-profit grassroots organizations, the Early Childhood Educators of BC and the Coalition of Child Care Advocates of BC have come together to propose to our government an innovative and ambitious way forward in terms of the childcare crisis.

The Community Plan for a Public System of Integrated Early Care and Learning is in response to BC’s implementation of full school day kindergarten for 5 year olds as well as to the promise made by our government of some form of pre-kindergarten programming for children age 3 and 4 along with the crises facing childcare as mentioned above.

The Plan is built upon well-established research that clearly shows that:

Public spending on the early years is a wise social and economic investment;

Quality child care is early learning;

High quality early years programs promote healthy development; Children and families need, and have the right to, quality care and

learning; and

Current policies and approaches are not working.

The highlights of the Plan include: New legislation….a BC Early Care and Learning Act A new home for child care in the Ministry of Education A new role for Boards of Education The development of Early Years Centre Networks Enhancing Kindergarten and Grade one Strengthening School-age Care and Family Child Care Developing the Early Childhood Educators’ workforce Lower fees - $10 per full day/ $7 for half day and free for families with a

yearly income of less than $40,000 The majority of Early Childhood Educators support this plan and we are asking the Campbell River and area community members for their support too. Yes, this plan is ambitious and it may take a generation to come to fruition. We need to start now so future families can have a system which supports them.

Childcare has been affected by full school day kindergarten. We know that if the BC government rolls out a plan for 3 and 4 year olds without taking the existing fragile childcare centres across BC into consideration, we may have no option but to close our doors. Please take a few minutes and endorse the Plan at www.ecebc.ca

Sincerely, Early Childhood Educators of BC, Campbell River Branch

Fathers can develop a strong bond with their children: • start the connection with your baby as early as you can - even before she is born• the most important experiences for a baby’s brain are ordinary ones - being carried, fed, bathed, diapered, getting outside, playing peek-a-boo, or hearing

loving, caring words• do things together with your baby - take him shopping, go to the park, listen to music, visit some friends

The importance of touch• touch is one way you communicate your feelings to your baby• touch stimulates a baby’s brain in ways that help your child deal with stress and strong feelings throughout her life• touch needs to be loving, caring and gentle• being held, carried, stroked, massaged, or even sleeping on your chest are all ways to touch your child

Emotional Development• Comfort your child when he is upset. But be aware that you can’t control your child’s feelings.• Allow your child to feel the way she feels. Try not to say things like, “Don’t be silly!” to a child who is angry, afraid or sad.• Use feeling words when your child is emotional. “You’re really frustrated, aren’t you?” “I can tell you’re really excited about seeing your cousins!”• Be patient. Children learn to handle emotions gradually. At times their emotional

responses will seem mature. Other times, they will be immature.• Model good emotional management. Children learn a lot from the way you handle

emotions.

Building Brains Through Play• play gets the brain working - it gets children interested in things.• play helps develop language skills - reading, rhymes, and tickling games help a baby

connect words with sounds.• play can be a way for a child to participate in life - babies learn about the world by

watching and copying you.• play gives an opportunity for problem-solving and learning - by trying new things

babies learn their abilities and limitations.• play is meant to be fun - play is one thing that makes childhood enjoyable and

interesting

How Can I Help My Child with Anger?When children utter the words: “Mine!” and “No!” parents often brace themselves for an angry outburst. Any parent who has tried to reason with a three year old knows just how little logic matters in the face of a child’s fury. So how can we help small children control their anger?

We can start by helping them stop and find the words they need. Use your words, is an old refrain, but let’s look carefully at why it helps. When we hear the imperious declaration “Mine!” and see a child try to grab a toy from her playmate, we can intervene, stop the grabbing and narrate: “You really, really want that dolly and feel mad that someone else has it.” If you are on the right track, the child may add to your narrative and elaborate on it saying things like, “and I had it first. And it’s my most favourite one!”

Just getting the child to articulate her angry feelings counts as a step forward. The goal is to help children express rather than act out feelings. Parents help by being both firm and understanding. They can also help by talking about their own feelings. If the family pet has gone on a chewing rampage, a parent might model, “Oh, I get so frustrated when that puppy eats our shoes!” The child will both observe how the parent handles anger and learn how to name feelings.. In helping your child to pause and find words, you teach them to resist the impulse to act. And that “pause” is the beginning of impulse control, of being able to stop. Children, who make a habit of “pausing” will, over time, gain control of their anger and their impulsivity and be able to negotiate difficult moments with grace.

Giving children the best for their education and future.

Under the direction of licensed early childhood educators, parents and children participate in early learning activities, such as story time, music, singing, art and puzzles. Children gain problem-solving skills, and build self-esteem and the social skills that will help them when they enter school. Parents learn activities that they can do at home to further support their child’s learning, nutrition, and make valuable connections with other parents or caregivers.
