Keep your ghouls safe: RCMP issue safety tips for

trick or treaters

News A3

KRISTEN DOUGLASCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Strathcona Regional District Director Jim Abram says the province’s upcoming public engagement process to find sav-ings within BC Ferries is “a com-plete sham.”

Abram, director representing Quadra Island, revealed Monday morning why a group of coastal regional district chairs rejected the provincial Ministry of Trans-portation’s public consultation proposal presented to the group at a meeting Oct. 17 in Nanaimo.

“The insulting part of the whole thing was the fact they passed out three documents – two were charts of sailings and ridership, basically usage of the ferries, and they would not let us keep those,” Abram said. “They col-lected everything at the end of the meeting except for a question and answer form they wanted us to fill out at the meeting before going back to our boards or com-munities.”

Abram said the meeting lasted just two hours and the chairs

were not allowed to see the mate-rial covered prior to the meeting,nor were they given an agenda,though the group asked to see oneweeks before the meeting.

“I was rushed like I’ve neverbeen rushed, we were jumpingfrom page to page, we were noteven allowed to see the materialbefore we got into the room,” saidAbram, who feels the governmentis trying to wrap up the processbefore the next provincial elec-tion, tentatively scheduled forMay 14, 2013. “The pre-consulta-tion meeting was basically to tryand tell the consultant companiesand the ministry whether theyhad it right.

“We were able to answer thatquestion clearly because theyabsolutely did not have it right.The consultation process they’recompletely blowing, it’s just acomplete sham.”

Abram said the biggest prob-lem with the ministry’s proposalwas it did not include public con-sultations in every ferry depen-dent community, rather onlythe bigger communities such as

Ecole Phoenix Middle School leadership

students assisted the Campbell River RCMP with putting together over 400 loot bags.

The loot bags will be distributed by police officers on Halloween to trick or treaters in various neighbor-hoods. McDonalds provided coupons for each of the loot bags. Also, Campbell River Crime Stoppers sup-plied slap bracelets and glow sticks for each of the loot bags.

'Tis the season for ghosts and ghouls.

But beware, with Halloween tonight, the

safety of our children should be foremost in people’s minds.

Campbell River RCMP urge everyone to keep these useful safety tips in mind before heading out for your Halloween fes-tivities.

Have fun but keep safe.

■ Never trick-or-treat alone. Always walk with an adult or a group of friends.

■ Make sure you can be seen. Wear reflective, bright color costumes, or fasten reflective tape to your costume or bag.

■ Carry a flashlight so you can see where

you are going. ■ Walk, don’t run. ■ Stay in familiar

neighborhoods. ■ Don’t cut across

yards or driveways. ■ Make sure your

costume doesn’t drag on the ground so you don’t trip and wear comfortable shoes.

■ Wear makeup instead of a mask. This will allow you to see and be aware of everything going on around you while walking house to house.

■ Obey traffic sig-nals and give traffic the right of way.

■ Only approach houses that have the

outside lights turned on.

■ Stay away from and don’t pet animals you don’t know.

■ Never enter a stranger’s home or car for a treat.

■ Don’t eat any treats until an adult has inspected them

■ Don’t crisscross the street or run out from between parked cars. Always go down one side of the street, cross at the corner and then the other side.

■ Watch out for cars pulling out of drive-ways and backing up.

■ Remember; Stranger = Danger.

Have a safe and happy Halloween

Tips for drivers:Halloween means

that there will be more children out on the streets. Drivers need to take extra care.

■ Drive slowly in residential areas were there are children.

■ Watch out for kids, many may be wearing costumes with masks that make it difficult for them to see.

■ Reduce your distractions and stay alert

■ Enter and exit intersections and driveways slowly and carefully.

The BC SPCA offers these Hallow-een safety tips:

■ Keep pets insidePets who are inside have fewer

opportunities to confront trick-or-treaters. Some pets do well left in a separate room with the radio or tele-vision on to mask the sound of fire-works and trick-or-treaters. Be sure to leave plenty of toys in the room for your pet so that he doesn’t think he’s being isolated as a punishment. If your pet finds the doorbell dis-turbing, consider disconnecting the doorbell for the night.

■ IdentificationMake sure your pet is wearing

identification. Dogs and cats may try to run away if they feel threat-ened.

■ Don’t console your anxious petWhile it is natural to want to com-

fort your pet, it is better to use a bright, cheerful voice to send a mes-sage that things are fine. Avoid say-ing things like, “it’s OK” or “don’t be scared” in a soft or sympathetic voice. This only reinforces your pet’s fearful behaviour.

■ Candy is for peopleCandy can lead to health problems

such as diabetes or obesity, and chocolate is especially dangerous because it contains theobromine, which is toxic to dogs and cats. Keep treats well away from your pets.

■ Leave home without themIf you think it would be fun to

bring your pet trick-or-treating, your pet may not share your view. The strange sights and sounds of Halloween can cause a normally friendly dog to bite if it feels scared or threatened.

Keep your pets in mind during Halloween

Abram said no meet-ings were being sched-uled for Quadra, Cor-tes, Hornby or Denman islands, just Campbell River. And the meet-ings that would be held were pencilled in for a couple of hours in the middle of the work day.

However, by Monday afternoon the govern-ment had launched a website outlining its consultation and engagement process. According to the web-site, meetings have been scheduled for most coastal communi-ties including Quadra on Nov. 27 from 6-9 p.m. and Cortes on Nov. 28 from 11 a.m.-1 p.m., times Abram said still won’t work for Cortes Islanders. Campbell River’s meeting was scratched.

The transportation ministry is undertak-

ing the public meetings to address how the cor-poration should handle service cuts to the tune of $26 million on the minor routes.

Cash-strapped BC Ferries was ordered by Ferry Commissioner

Gord Macatee to find the savings after the corporation reported a loss of fare revenue last year, including a 21-year low in passen-ger traffic and a 13-year low in vehicle traffic.

But Abram said it’s not a loss, but simply the cost of doing busi-ness.

“There isn’t a trans-portation system in our country that isn’t

running at a loss,” Abram said. “The whole concept of sav-ing $26 million to save the corporation is com-pletely flawed. This transportation system needs to be treated like all transportation systems. It needs to be paid for by the public in general, not just the users.”

And according to the weekly poll on our

website, campbellriv-ermirror.com, it seems most people agree with Abram. As of Tuesday morning 93 per cent of voters (or 366 of 390 votes) said the BC ferry system should be treated like the high-ways.

M e a n w h i l e , t h e government recently gave BC Ferries the go-ahead to raise ferry fares 12 per cent over

the next four years as well as an order to find savings in its opera-tions through service cuts.

Abram said BC Fer-ries will be looking at all the minor routes, including service between Campbell River and Quadra Island and between Quadra Island and Cortes Island.

The engagement pro-cess will cover a range of topics, including the best method of deliv-ering ferry service, whether it be by cable ferries, passenger-only service, or bridges to some of the smaller islands. The consulta-tion process will also gage residents’ sup-port of a property tax hike in communities that depend on ferry service to fund the fer-ries.

The public consulta-tion period begins Nov. 6 in Sandspit on Haida Gwaii. A series of 38 meetings takes place between November and December. Feedback will also be accepted online at www.coastal-ferriesengagement.ca

In School District #72, much of the anti-bullying

effort is focused on getting buy-in on the part of students on the frontline.

Superintendent Tom Longridge says the tragic suicide of Amanda Todd “illus-trates that there are kids out there that are hurting but either don’t feel safe enough or are bound by peer pressure not to seek support from an adult.

“This district for a number of years prior to this very sad event...has worked to develop a caring com-munity and develop an awareness amongst kids and adults in all of our system to take care of each other and to diminish the cul-ture that creates the bullying scenario.”

Longridge adds: “That doesn’t mean we don’t continue to have challenges. When you have a number of kids together in school buildings and in the community

they don’t all know how to regulate their behavior or have learned yet how to look after themselves and each other.”

However, the school district has had suc-cess empowering students to help each other.

Last year Timberline Secondary conducted a survey of students that identified which students would most likely stand up for individuals being bul-lied.

The result was a list of 48 student peers who could be mentors. They were provided with conflict resolu-tion skills and media-tion training and 16 of them were also pro-vided with resiliency training through the John Howard Society. This group is active today and the mentor model is being applied to Southgate, the mid-dle school that feeds Timberline.

“The result is kids working with kids. And that’s an inroad that has a lot of power. You need something ongoing to create a

culture of caring,” Longridge says.

On top of existing awareness programs like Positive Behavior Support and WITS (Walk away, Ignore, Talk it out, Seek help) the district is also in the process of imple-menting the provin-cial ERASE Bullying Strategy (“Expect Respect And Safe Edu-cation”).

One of the core fea-tures will be a Smart-phone app for kids to report bullying anony-mously. Longridge expects the app to be functional in about a month.

“Quite often stu-dents are not going to adults for support. Teenagers have a sense of being very tied in to their own peer groups. Building bridges and mecha-nism in which they can report and feel they can report is vitally important.

“ERASE is really trying to involve par-ents, students and pro-fessionals in the dis-trict ... to build aware-ness and sensitivity to the challenges we face

in regard to school safety and bullying in particular.”

Longridge says cyber bullying is a particularly challeng-ing because of its potential anonymity and the apparent feel-ing that there are no consequences because it is so hard to track.

“It is not just a ques-tion of supervision of the home computer, it is supervision of the phone,” he says. “Because of Smart-phone technology (kids) have access to social network-ing 24/7. It is a very seductive medium. It is a very powerful medium. You can’t eliminate it because it is ubiquitous.”

Longridge says educators are fully engaged tackling the issue of bullying but they need help beyond the school yard. “We feel we are doing a number of things to support and educate our kids and create a safe environment but ultimately a challenge like this has to be seen as a community chal-lenge.”

North America’s best known authority in the campaign to combat cyber bullying

is headed for Campbell River.Next week School District 72 is

flying in world-renowned digital safety expert Parry Aftab to hold a town hall session with parents on cyber bullying and how to keep children and teens safe online.

The town hall meet-ing will be held Tues-day, Nov. 6 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the Timber-line Secondary School theatre, 1681 South Dogwood Street. Those interested in attending are asked to come early as space is limited.

In the fight against bullying Aftab has become something of a celebrity sought after by the Today Show, CNN and Good Morning America. She is an Internet pri-vacy and security lawyer that has been working on cyber bullying and cyber harassment cases since 1995.

Aftab is also director of Wired-Safety, a site where victims can receive one-on-one assistance when they have been bullied online. She runs StopCyberbulling.org, a web-site that contains a wealth of infor-

mation and resources on cyber bullying. Aftab also serves on Facebook’s Safety Advisory Board and she created the Internet safety program for the Girl Scouts USA.

School District 72 Superintendent Tom Longridge says: “Technol-ogy and the introduction of social

media have made the world our children are growing up in very dif-ferent from the one we grew up in.

“Cyber bullying, sex-ting, and other forms of online exploitation often occur outside of school, but the effects carry over and have very damaging, or even tragic consequences.

Sadly, this was highlighted again by the recent suicide of grade 10 Coquitlam student, Amanda Todd. Awareness and education are para-mount to preventing bullying and we want to work with parents and our community to find solutions to this societal problem.”

Aftab will also be visiting local schools to work directly with stu-dents and teachers. She will also meet with some of the school dis-trict’s community partners such as the RCMP and the John Howard Society.

“British Columbia has a ready source of great jobs and careers in technology. Our edu-cation programs need to keep up with that demand.

John Leech, Execu-

tive Director of the Applied Science Tech-nologists and Techni-cians of BC (ASTTBC), explains that, “Every system we rely on – water, roads and trans-portation, telecommu-nications and Internet, hydro and natural gas, environment, health, forestry, and many more – utilizes engi-neering and applied science technology professionals working in the background. BC’s telecom and IT, animation and many other sectors produce new careers every month.”

Here in Campbell River the Creative Industries Council (CRCIC) is working to develop a creative and

knowledge based econ-omy for the city and the region.

In fact, it has just spent two “very pro-ductive” days in one on one meetings with the eight Trade and Invest-m e n t Re p re s e n t a -tives from India, USA, Europe, South Korea, Japan, North China, South China and East China during which it identified some very valuable new opportu-nities for the creative economy in Campbell River. Campbell River is a natural home for companies looking for a highly accessible location, abundant natural resources, first-class transporta-tion and communica-tions networks. Add a skilled labour force and a talented pool of experienced managers and it’s clear this is one of the most advan-tageous high tech envi-ronments in the Pacific Northwest.

ASTTBC has more

than 10,000 members currently working in thousands of careers available to graduates of two-year diploma programs available at the British Columbia Institute of Technol-ogy and other B.C. col-leges and institutes.

“Our members enjoy rewarding, well-paid and often recession-proof careers in public service and the private sector alike,” Leech

states. “For huge num-bers of young men and women, technology is the answer. In B.C. and across Canada, technol-ogy permeates every workplace and job. We need to get capable students involved and engaged in applied sciences and head off workforce shortages by building a B.C. ‘Sci-ence and Technology Culture’.”

Leech calls on gov-

ernment for renewed efforts to build student skills and confidence in math and science programming.

“We especially need to interest young stu-dents in science and how things work,” Leech says. “Young students use technol-ogy every day – smart phones, iPads and computers. They play video games, even build robots.”

Leech lauds the recent “Year of Sci-ence” program that encouraged students t o w a r d s o - c a l l e d “STEM” subjects – sci-ence, technology, engi-neering and math. Cit-ing the recent $6 mil-lion B.C. campaign to encourage careers in trades, Leech urges a similar effort to build awareness of engineer-ing technology educa-tion and careers.

B C T e c h n o l o g y Industries Association employers like Telus and BC Hydro and many smaller technol-ogy-rich companies say the single most impor-tant position they now struggle to fill is Specialty Technician/Technologist. Even the Canadian Council of Chief Executives expressed concer n that only 37 per cent of 16- to 18-year-olds were interested in taking even one post-second-ary course in sciences, according to a recent

Angus Reid survey.Leech says the oppor-

tunities for those seeking work in the technology field are considerable given a wave of retirements of present-generation B.C. technology profes-sionals that is already underway.

“Half of our mem-bership is now middle-aged at 45-plus, and 22 per cent are over age 55!” he says. “Every region of B.C. shows g rowing demand,” L e e c h c o n c l u d e s . “Young people are will-ing to travel so they can earn the necessary tech qualifications.”

It would appear their investment is a smart move, as it will result in a broad range of career opportunities. Indus-tries in all regions of B.C. support programs for local trainees to fill engineering and applied science tech-nologist, technician and technical special-ist positions.

Testy emails have become the weapon of choice in the esca-lating war of words between taxed-to-the-max Quadra Island sewer system ratepay-ers and by-the-book Strathcona Regional District (SRD) bureau-crats.

More than 100 of Quadra’s Quathiaski Cove property own-ers are reeling from sewer system charges that have skyrocketed in one year.

The basic residen-tial charge has gone from $299 in 2011 to $692.

The basic commer-cial rate has increased from $1,196 to $2,769.

And, the school rate has soared from $7,774 to $17,997.

O n O c t . 1 2 , Q u at h i a s k i C ove Landing Pub owner Joe Duprey, who is paying more than $3,400 to flush his toi-lets, and eight other ratepayers met with the SRD Chief Admin-i s t r at ive O f f i c e r (CAO) Brian Reardon and placed several demands on the table including immediate relief from the oner-ous sewer fees.

Since then a gritty exchange of e-mails has substituted for diplomacy and prob-lem solving.

After the meeting the “Q-Cove Nine” fired off a list of demands including: A rollback of rates, an updated compara-tive list of other sewer charges in B.C., an explanation from the SRD directors that voted for the new charge, the formation of a joint SRD and ratepayers committee to find a solution and more.

“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.

Last week Reardon responded with his own blunt e-mail, tak-ing refuge in the strict confines of the rules that govern his job.

“The regional dis-trict is unable to ‘roll back’ the user fees as you have requested

without incurring a structural deficit,” he wrote.

“ T h e r e q u i s i -tion amounts were set when the board approved the annual budget in March 2012. The Local Govern-ment Act is quite spe-cific about the manner in which the regional district can recover its costs to provide its services. Each service is a separate function that through legislation must pay the costs to provide the service.”

Reardon would not

comment on what board members “may or may not have been thinking when they voted on the annual b u d g e t a n d t h e user fee bylaw that increased the rates for Q-Cove sewer.

“What I can state is that the regional board considers these matters and takes into account the facts presented in a staff report along with the comments of the elec-toral area director prior to voting on the matter.”

T h e S t r at h c o n a

Re gional District chief administrative officer said he “would be prepared to form an adhoc working group comprised of SRD staff members and residents in the Q-Cove Sewer Service Area to meet on an as needed basis.”

Needless to say, D u p r e y i s n o t amused.

“The SRD and the directors imposed these unjust taxes therefore it is up to you and them to correct them,” he e-mailed back Mon-

day.Repeating his ear-

lier demand, Duprey wrote:

“The board of direc-tors who voted for these unfair increases should explain their reasons.”

He reminded Rear-don that he had not asked the chief administrative officer to try and explain the board’s thinking, he asked the board mem-bers to step up and explain their actions.

“The SRD has been running this system since 2008 and we

believe that it is high time for your staff to start taking respon-sibility and stop the blame game,” the Quadra pub owner stated.

Finally he ques-tioned why Quadra ratepayers should participate on an adhoc committee.

“Mr. Reardon you have already stated you can’t roll back these taxes, so ... why meet?

“We respectfully suggest (it is time) for the SRD to start tak-ing action and stop

making excuses.”Electoral Area C

Director Jim Abram says he expects Rear-don will be “offended” by the latest Quadra folly, but he hopes the adhoc committee pro-posal moves ahead and explores solutions “outside the norm” including expansion of the sewer system or a modest island-wide environmental fee.

He says at present the “hor rendous” sewer rates are a line item in the proposed 2013 SRD budget.

Halloween conjures images of pillow sacks and plastic pails overflowing with brightly wrapped toffees, multi-hued rolls of Rockets, cherished

miniature chocolate bars and—oh drat—generic wrappings of mysterious homemade concoctions containing peanuts, popcorn, caramel or even all three.

It is, as comedian Jerry Seinfeld mused in one of his more renowned monologues, a concept so fantastic

the average kid brain can’t quite comprehend its magnificence.

Of course, there’s no such thing as free candy.

To realize such a bounty kids have to dress up, take on an alternate identity that licenses them to knock on strangers’ doors and demand handouts.

That’s where the stress comes in.Will the costume be scary or funny? Will it be

simple, collated from odds and ends of clothing already stashed in closets or drawers? Or will it be more elaborate, the fruit of an excursion to the costume shop, thrift store, or a particularly talented and crafty sewer? And how can the costume be adapted should it rain? Or snow?

Of course in recent years fears for kids’ safety on darkened streets has turned Halloween into a more organized affair. Malls host trick-or-treating in a

warm, dry, controlled environment. Adults convene parties for their costumed charges. Schools host dress-up parades.

Fewer trick-or-treaters at the front door means those leftover little boxes of Smarties will populate adult bag lunches for weeks to come.

While the way we celebrate Halloween may be changing, the human need to celebrate the departed in a fun, cathartic way endures. After all we’ve been doing it since Christians first marked All Saints’ Day in 609 AD, which some say was the origin of Halloween.

Regardless, have a happy, safe one.– Black Press

Halloween enduresOur ViewOur View

We say: Like many things today it faces changes but it’s still fun

After reading your view of John Cummins and the BC Conservatives, I would like to share my view with your readers.

John Cummins and the BC Conservatives are alive and well. The 15 people who decided amongst them-selves to try to take over the party have been dealt with.

I believe their intention was to simply destroy the Party so there would be a clear path for the Liberals and NDP to duke it out once again.

How many people did not vote in the last few elec-tions just because they didn’t want either party to win? For years these two parties are all we had to choose from. They have taken turns running our province and where has it got us?

Now we have a chance of having the BC Conserva-tives on the ballot. We definitely need a change. At least we, the people, would like to have the opportunity to decide for ourselves.

I am a member of the BC Conservatives and proud to support John Cummins as Leader of the Party.

B.C. Tories not dead yet

Little new in B.C. Liberal renewalB.C. Liberal delegates gathered for

their convention on the weekend at the Chateau Whistler, the same lux-ury hotel where Gordon Campbell fired up the troops in 2008.

Back then the advertising slogan was “Keep BC Strong.” Unveiled at Premier Christy Clark’s pre-election pep rally: “Together. Building BC.”

This slight change hints at the big difference. Campbell led a front-run-ning party to a third straight major-ity, while Clark is a struggling under-dog pleading for unity to turn back an NDP tsunami.

Hence “Free Enterprise Friday,” a discussion open to non-party mem-bers. Clark began with an upbeat speech urging party members to

“reach out our arms, open the tent and be as big as we can possibly be.”

So did they? Dashing between three concurrent sessions, I missed a fair amount of it, but there were some provocative suggestions to appeal to those inclined to support the resur-gent B.C. Conservatives.

An accountant spoke to a packed room about the growing unfunded liability of public sector pensions, most of which are still of the “defined benefit” variety.

Based on bond interest rates that have since sunk to all-time lows, these government-guaranteed pen-sions are now a free ride for those lucky enough to have them, funded by the taxes of private sector workers

who in many cases have no pension plan at all.

There was talk of passing a law that all new public sector hires be restricted to a “defined contribu-tion” plan where the employee and employer contribute equally and the pension is based on what those con-tributions yield.

This would provoke the mother of all confrontations with the B.C. Fed-eration of Labour, but there was no evidence yet that this is going beyond the talking stage.

The resolutions continued the theme of confronting the labour movement, ritual combat that seems to be an inescapable part of B.C. elec-tions.

Delegates passed two motions, one calling for public sector unions to disclose what they spend on salaries, political activities and lobbying, and another advocating a ban on unions spending compulsory dues on politi-cal campaigns.

This is a pet project of Nechako Lakes MLA John Rustad, whose con-stituency sponsored both motions. Rustad presented a private member’s bill last year to require detailed dis-closure, but it was left to die on the order paper.

Like all the policy resolutions debated at the convention, these ideas are not binding on the gov-ernment. Again, there is no actual

change on the horizon.Delegates rejected another

motion that would have made membership in the B.C. Teachers’ Federation optional.

This would have been a dec-laration of war on B.C.’s most militant union, just as Clark and Education Minister Don McRae embark on a long-shot bid to end the decades of con-

frontation that have defined that relationship since teach-ers were relegated to the industrial union model of labour relations.

There was a brief debate on a motion to scrap the car-bon tax, sponsored by north-ern members who see it as unfairly punitive on those who endure cold weather and long highway drives for them-selves and the goods they

need to have trucked in.This was rejected too, after

delegates were reminded that the tax now takes in more than $1 billion annually that is used to reduce business and personal income taxes. Scrapping it would amount to announcing across-the-board income tax hikes, con-tradicting 12 years of B.C. Liberal policy just before an election.

The good news for Clark is that the 2012 convention was a high-energy, well-attended event that contradicts the notion of a party in disarray.

The bad news is, nothing has really changed.

Fletcher: Liberals avoid war with teachers

Rural politics

I have lived in this beautiful community only a year now. From the mainland, I am adjusting to rural poli-tics, I am in Area D.

Elected officials who do not want their meet-ings viewed by their public; who would maybe be less than transparent when oth-ers watch, and they admit this freely. I do not understand this.

I have nothing but cynicism now where I only previously had dissatisfaction.

Area D seems to have

littlle or no representa-tion.

No wonder I wonder where these enormous taxes go. We have little in services at all: no sewer and no real work towards that; no side-walks, no crosswalks of the highway no gar-bage pick up, very few streetlights.

I could go on but instead, Yan’t wait until the next election!

Hot rodders insulted

I just read the Police

Beat section of today’s Mirror.

I take exception to the headline and RCMP comments re: Hot Rod-der wanted. I am a member of the BC Hot Rod Association and the local car club. We spend thousands build-ing our treasured rides and treat them with respect.

We also encourage our members to obey the rules of the road. To refer to a grey or silver pickup truck as a hot rod is just a little insulting.

Stan Cook

Animal control officer needed

In light of the recent killing of a pet dog by pit bulls, could camp-bell river please con-sider getting an animal control officer?

They are very effi-cent, and considering the amount of free running dogs, and dog attacks in Campbell River would be a great addition.

More and more peo-ple are now reluctant to walk there pets, as there are no con-sequences for letting your dog run free, and

it would seem none if they injure or kill another do – the SPCA does a fine job of ani-mals in their care, and are no doubt too busy to bother checking free-running dogs.

There will be more incidents unless there is some control brought into the picture, as it is, irresponsible dog owners can do what-ever they want and get away with it.

The city should really consider this; pet owner and dog lover;

Student enrolment is down in our school district once again this year, based on a preliminary head count.

School District 72 lost 60 students over the summer, but that figure was less than originally expected.

“We were actually forecasting a decline of 102 students and we came in at 60 stu-dents,” said Kevin Patrick, secretary treasurer for School District 72.

“It’s tough anytime we have declines and the 42 more we’ve pre-liminarily counted is good news for the overall health of our school population.”

Further good news is the fact the num-bers seem to be level-ling out.

“Historically it’s not substantial, we’ve had larger declines in the

past,” Patrick said. “We hope for the

declines to stop and reverse in the next two to three years.”

Which would be welcome news for a school district that has had to cope with declining enrolment the past few years, particularly in the high schools.

To help manage the exodus, the school district reconfigured its schools this year by adding Grade 9 at both Carihi and Tim-berline high schools and adding Grade 6 to Phoenix and South-gate middle schools.

Before reconfigu-ration, enrolment at the high schools was expected to decrease significantly until 2012, when Carihi was forecasted to have 567 students and Timber-line just 465.

“A high school with just over 500 students is not an effective operation but that’s

what our demograph-ics are showing us,” for mer Assistant Superintendent Jim Ansell said at a recon-figuration planning session two years ago.

“ S m a l l s e c o n d -ary schools present limitations in what can be offered and students are increas-ingly needing those specialized courses but if we don’t have enough students, we can’t run them.”

The concern was that if students were unable to take the high school courses they need for post secondary, they may be turned away.

School District 72 has also been active in attending interna-tional student recruit-ment fairs to encour-age overseas students to come and study in Campbell River schools. Superinten-dent Tom Longridge has credited the pro-

gram in the past for increasing the stu-dent population.

Patrick said the reason for the decline in students this year was the 2012 Grade 12 graduating class was larger than this September’s entrance class.

“We graduated 60 more students than entered kindergar-ten,” Patrick said.

But despite the loss, the district is not expecting a budget hit, as School District 72 is in funding pro-tection, meaning the province will main-tain the district’s 2011/12 level of fund-ing despite a decline in students.

“It actually doesn’t affect the budget at all because we’re in funding protection,” Patrick said.

“There’s a maxi-mum amount that our grant will drop from one year to the next.”

Student enrolment down again at local schools


School District 72’s five-year wish list has some ambitious proj-ects on it that include making one more local school earth-quake proof.

The Board of Edu-cation approved the district’s five-year capital plan at a board meeting Oct. 16 which outlines fund-ing requests from the B.C. Ministry of Edu-cation for five differ-ent projects.

Topping the list is a heating and ventila-tion upgrade at Pine-crest Elementary and the replacement of four school buses.

Next on the list is a $6.1 million seismic project at Phoenix middle school.

Although the school district would love to have all the projects funded, only some – or even none – will likely be approved.

“Our request for funding for the school district capital proj-ects doesn’t mean they will be funded but it helps the ministry with understanding our priorities,” said Kevin Patrick, the dis-trict’s secretary trea-surer. “The ministry will then take a list of priorities from all the districts and decide what projects will be allocated funding. There’s a good chance none of the projects will be approved but we’re always hopeful at least one will be approved.”

The Phoenix proj-ect would be upgrad-ing the school to meet the ministry’s seismic standards which are in place to ensure schools can withstand a powerful earthquake.

Carihi and South-gate are the only dis-trict 72 schools that have undergone seis-mic upgrading while

Timberline was built to seismic standards.

Patrick said Phoe-nix was deemed the next priority on the list according to the ministry, but it’s not a top priority when compared to schools across B.C.

“There have been facility reviews done for seismic standards and right now it’s not a high or medium priority, it’s a lower priority as per the ministry’s plan,” Pat-rick said. “But it is something we’d like to see done. We don’t have a timeline for it, but we requested it in year three. It would be our hope to see it approved.”

Rounding out the district’s capital plan wish list are repairs to the building enve-lope at the school board office on Pine-crest Road and the installation of new fire sprinkler systems at several schools.

This Saturday the Campbellton Neigh-bourhood Association is launching a plan-ning process with the goal of transforming its neglected part of the city into a thriving community.

The event from noon to 2 p.m. is a free hot dog BBQ in the park-ing lot next door to the Association’s com-munity office in the Campbell River Bowl-ing Centre complex at 1661 16th Avenue. The food and the BBQ are being donated by Real Canadian Superstore and Associated Tire.

Association Co-chair Jim DeHart says the event will launch the information gathering stage of the develop-ment of an action plan for the community. The association started

about a year ago as “Campbellton First” and has evolved into a 70-member strong group of business peo-ple and residents.

DeHart says the city’s strategic plan did noth-ing to address specific challenges in Cambell-ton like “what are we going to do with our main drag and how are we going to intermix residential and busi-ness.”

“For years Campbell-ton was the exit from town, not the entrance until Highway 19 was opened about 12 years ago. This area was always the way out of town and the last place anyone thought about doing anything. It was the oldest part of town. Now, that it is the entrance to town it needs a lot more atten-tion paid to it.”

DeHart says the planning issues being

canvassed will include everything from sig-nage to open ditches to the integration of resi-dential and commer-cial uses to the lack of maintenance and bylaw enforcement to crime and street light-

ing.“We’re looking for

input from residents and businesses to iden-tify planning priorities so we can take that to the city and say this is where we need to go.”

DeHart says the city

has provided the CNA with about $3,000 in

seed money and the Bowling Centre has donated office space. The city is also help-ing train CNA mem-bers to do the essential asset inventory map-ping that will form the basis of the planning process.

This coming spring the group will have prepared “a work plan” that sets out the pri-orities that need to be addressed by the city.

Coun. Ron Kerr, who is responsible for the “Campbellton portfo-lio” on city council, has been involved with the initiative since Campbellton First was conceived in 2011.

“I think this is a good example of grassroots

community building. I think council is on board in terms of sup-porting it and city staff will be here to help,” Kerr says.

“There’s lots of oppor tunity here. Campbellton is a really dynamic com-munity and it is differ-ent than the rest of the city. I think we need to retain that. The survey of assets and liabilities is going to really iden-tify what we have here. We don’t need to knock it all down and change it. This can be a really unique community and through this process I’m hoping we can do some real neighbour-hood building,” Kerr says.

The Time is RipeA22 | CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR | WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 31, 2012

3x3.5

QUADRA ISLAND STUDIO

4x3.5

On Sunday, Nov. 4, the Centre for Spiritual Living in Campbell River will be presenting a spe-cial live musical presentation by Noelle Maffin, and Nathan Aswell.

Maffin and Aswell have each performed to the centre’s enthu-siastic audiences previously; this is the first time they will share the stage. Titled Sewing Seeds of Creativity, the event begins with a meditation at 10 o’clock, and continues with a musical service from 10:30-12 noon at the Willow Point Hall, 2165 S Isl. Hwy. All are welcome to attend.

Maffin went to school for voice and got her diploma from Grant Mac Ewan College in the Per-forming Arts. She started singing professionally after graduation and has performed in NYC, Van-couver, Edmonton and up and down Vancouver Island. One of Noelle’s great passions is sing-ing jazz music. You can hear her perform at local venues with her jazz trio. More recently, Maffin has been delving into the “New Thought” genre, exploring the power and meaning of Spirit.

Aswell believes that his calling in this life is to inspire and heal through his heart-centered music making. His debut CD, Little By Little, and his new EP, I Say Yes, are powerful realizations of this calling, fully intertwining his two passions of music and spiritual-ity. He honours his calling by performing at faith-based confer-ences, church services, kirtans (devotional chanting events) and house concerts in both Canada and the United States, presenting his “Conscious Pop” music with his voice and the NS Stick (an eight-stringed electronic instru-ment that can be plucked like a bass, strummed like a guitar, or tapped with both hands like a piano).

Aswell is a proud supporter of Seva Canada, whose mission is to restore sight and prevent blind-ness in the developing world. (Aswell donates 10 per cent of all performance fees, and $1 from every CD and DVD sale, to Seva Canada.)

Further information is avail-able at www.campbellriver.csl.org or by calling 250 850 3064.

The seeds the Sun Sower lost secretly grow

beneath the lunar glow.

An exhibition of new works by Ken Blackburn will open in Campbell River on Nov. 15 at 5 p.m.

Entitled lunar, the exhibit will open in two locations: at 5 p.m. a showing of smaller scale works will be held at Impressions

Gallery at 990 Shop-pers Row.

Then at 6 p.m. the larger scale works will open at the Incuba-tor (the ‘Cube’) at 977 Alder Street.

“This body of work has been produced at the Cube over the past year,” says Blackburn. “The Cube is a very exciting development for Campbell River as we plan to evolve this space, through the

Campbell River Arts Council, into an ‘ction Research Center.

This centre will be a site in which to develop community outreach programs, alongside being a forum for community discussion.”

Blackburn con-tinues, “The lunar exhibit serves as an example of what an artist can achieve working within a pre-

viously empty down-town location.”

The exhibit will be available for viewing at the Cube on Nov. 16, 17, 24, 25 from 1-4 p.m.

Blackburn will give an artist’s talk about the works in lunar on Saturday, Nov. 24, from 2-3 p.m.

For more informa-tion contact the Arts Council at 923-0213 or Impressions Gallery at 286-1612.

All tenants got out safety when an apart-ment fire last night in the 600 block of 4th Ave. forced everyone out of the building.

“Approximately 40 people and their fam-ily pets were living in the building,” says Act-ing Fire Chief Ian Bai-kie. “About half found temporary shelter for the night through fam-ily and friends. The others were assisted by the provincial gov-ernment’s emergency social services team, which offered food, clothing and lodging for up to three days.”

The fire started in a first-floor unit, and was burning out of a window when fire crews arrived. The fire destroyed all the contents in the unit, and one cat perished. The tenants’ personal belonging in this unit were not insured, and the Fire Department is asking the Red Cross to assist.

“While the fire was

contained to the unit where it started, there is considerable smoke and water damage to the first floor hallway, and hallways of the second through fourth floors were filled with smoke,” Baikie says in a city press release.

Twenty-five of the 29 units were rented in the four-storey walk-up apartment build-ing, and Baikie praised the residents for their swift and calm evacu-ation of the building. “Emergency respond-ers worked with the residents to get infor-mation about any important items like medications people might need overnight, and fire crews were able to get these items for people who needed them,” Baikie adds.

“We’re working with the building owner this morning to have safety systems like smoke detectors and fire extin-guishers replaced, and we’re assessing which units people can move

back into, and how soon,” Baikie says. “We’re hopeful some people might be able to return as early as this evening, and we’ll let people know as soon as possible.”

The Fire Department received the call at 7:30 p.m. and had the first fire truck on the scene by 7:35. Twenty-five members and six emer-gency vehicles from both fire halls attended at the scene.

The fire was extin-guished, with no flames visible, by 7:47. Crews remained on scene until 10:45 to gather important per-sonal belongings for residents and to inves-tigate the cause of the fire. BC Ambulance, the RCMP, Emergency Social Services and BC Hydro also assisted.

The cause of the fire is still under investiga-tion.

Tenants evacuated after fire breaks out in apartment


Tofino Bus Services Inc. wants to fill the transportation void that Greyhound will cre-ate if it is permitted to imple-ment service cuts to Campbell River and other island destina-tions.

Tofino Bus President Dylan Green says: “We are the little bus that could and we need the public’s help as we apply to fill a service void proposed by Greyhound Canada for Island routes.”

Greyhound has applied to B.C.’s Passenger Transporta-tion Board to reduce services on two well travelled daily and weekend routes between Campbell River, Courtenay and Nanaimo and between Nanaimo, Duncan and Victo-ria. If approved, this would mean only one daily route to the North Island, one fewer route to Victoria, and lost con-nections to the west coast of the Island.

Green says: “Tofino Bus

wishes to avoid this reduction of services by broadening its current service model and providing one daily service on each of the affected routes. This would guarantee the maintenance of service to the Campbell River area while also connecting with the Island’s west coast and the broader Tofino Bus network including BC Ferries.”

The president of the regional carrier was submitting his application to the Passenger Transportation Board last Thursday and is hoping the public will help him make the case that there is a “public need” for his service.

“It should not be too hard to establish a public need,” Green says, “because the trips Grey-hound wants to cancel to and from Campbell River are car-rying an average of 18 to 20 passengers each way.”

“Tofino Bus is well posi-tioned to adapt to seasonal fluctuations in ridership with its combined fleet of smaller buses and large coaches. A

local rather than a national model is more sustainable over the long term,” Green says.

Greyhound wants to cut the daily 8.15 a.m. bus from Camp-bell River to Nanaimo via Courtenay and the 3:10 p.m. bus from Nanaimo to Camp-bell River via Parksville and Courtenay.

It has also applied to halt Fri-day and Sunday weekend ser-vice at 5:30 p.m. from Campbell River to Nanaimo and at 9:30 p.m. from Nanaimo to Camp-bell River.

Tofino Bus is applying to offer a 9 a.m. Campbell River to Nanaimo trip and 3 p.m. Nanaimo to Campbell River trip seven days a week.

Green says he needs individ-uals and businesses to voice their support to the Passen-ger Transportation Board by way of the Tofino Bus website at www.tofinobus.com/sup-port or by reaching the board directly at [email protected]. The deadline for public sub-missions on Greyhound’s bid was Oct. 24.

Tofino Bus would fill void left by Greyhound reduction in services

Goldie sadly passed away at the Campbell River Hospital on Tuesday, October 23rd due to Cancer. She was predeceased by her parents, Carrol in 1986 and Nancy Spiers in 2005 and her

husband Steven (John) McEachen in 2002. Goldie leaves behind her son Gordon and daughter in-law Carol McEachen of Black Creek, daughter, Lorraine and son in-law Tim Grey of Campbell River, brother Leroy and sister in-law Joy Spiers of Abbotsford, and her brother Ross and sister in-law June Spiers of Campbell River. Also left are grandchildren Brodie and Adrian McEachen, Sarah and Jamie Grey, and the great grandchildren Keyton Dowding and Lexie Grey. Goldie also left behind dozens of nieces, nephews and cousins. Goldie’s partner Len Ring and his family also deeply mourn her loss and who were very supportive during these diffi cult months. Goldie was born in Elrose, Saskatchewan in the fall of 1939. At the age of 5 years old, she moved to Campbell River with the Spiers, Hilchey, and Parson families. She married John McEachen in June 1951 and after their two children had grown, Goldie with John’s helping hand, proudly became foster parents. Upon retirement at the age of 65, Goldie received a commemorative plaque for fostering 199 children. She had a passion for caring for new children, helping new parents and volunteering in the community. Goldie and her late husband John were square dancing enthusiasts, traveling and meeting many good friends along the way. Pursuing her love for square dancing she later met Len and they danced their way to the honour of “Square Dance Couple Of The Year.”

A tea will be held in Goldie’s honour on Saturday Nov. 3, 2012 from 1:00p.m.-3:00p.m. at the

Masonic Hall, 2905 Island Hwy, Campbell River B.C. In lieu of fl owers, donations may be made to the Cancer Society.

DEATHS

DONALD FRANCIS MCGOURLICK

February 27, 1921 -October 26, 2012

passed away peacefully at the Campbell River Hospi-tal at the age of 91 years. He was predeceased by his brothers John and Wil-liam, sisters Mary, Agnes, Annie, Ada, Phyllis and Helen and his daughter Shari. Don is lovingly re-membered by Jean, his wife of 68 years, son Kerry (Sylvia), sister-in-law Mary (Ralph) grandchildren Na-ryn (Dave) Jordan (Aman-da) Chris and Kim and many nieces and neph-ews. Don was born near Gull Lake SK. and grew up in nearby Verlo. He enlist-ed in the RCAF in 1941 and saw action until the end of the Second World War, and was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC) for his service. Don & Jean were married in December of 1943. Daughter Shari was born in 1946 and son Kerry in 1954. After the war Don attended the University of Saskatchewan earning his B.S.P. in 1949. During the following decades Don practiced pharmacy and the family moved to many locations including St. Jean QC, Marville France, and Richmond B.C. In 1980 Don and Jean moved to Prince George B.C. where Don retired and pursued his hobbies of golfi ng, camping, fi shing and gold panning. He and Jean later moved to Union Bay and Campbell River on Vancouver Island. Don will be remembered as a charismatic man who lived life on his own terms. He was a person of diverse in-terests and abilities who accumulated a wealth of experiences and was loved by his family. He will be sadly missed and never forgotten.

A Campbell River man convicted of drug trafficking charges and given a conditional sentence had his sentence over-turned and pleaded guilty to obstructing justice.

John Edward Mac-

Corquodale, 52, was arrested by the Nanaimo RCMP Municipal Drug Squad in July 2007 for posses-sion of cocaine for the purpose of traffick-ing. MacCorquodale pleaded guilty to the trafficking charges in

2010.At his sentenc-

ing hearing Mac-Corquodale presented letters of support from his family, friends and his doctor in Campbell River.

Suspicions arose around the authentic-

ity of the documents from his physician. The physician was contacted and in June 2012 police verified those documents were false.

MacCorquodale was sentenced to 18 months in jail.

Two experienced coastal mushroom pickers, one toting her baby, have spent cold and wet nights in the woods this past week after they became disoriented and ran out of daylight before they could find their way back to their vehicles.

Campbell River Search & Rescue (SAT) personnel were called out in both cases. First thing Wednesday a Campbell River SAT team of seven plus a dog team boarded the Comox

ferry to assist Powell River SAR in the search for Heather Thompson, her 20-month-old daughter Erika and their dog Monty. The trio were found near Stewart Lake north of Duck Lake just after noon Thursday after spending a cold and wet night in swampy bush.

No sooner were the Campbell River searchers back when a report came in and a search was mounted to find a local picker, Eric Hoch, who was lost somewhere between the Menzies Mainline logging road and the Morton Lake camp-

ground.Campbell River SAR man-

ager Grant Cromer says a teamof 14 combed the area throughthe night and even called ina helicopter to assist. About10:30 a.m. Friday Hoch foundhis way to safety and alertedthe RCMP that he was safe.

“These were experiencedpickers,” Cromer says, “buttheir eyes are looking downon the ground and they tendto lose their line of sight inthe woods. The daylight failsearlier in the bush than in theopen and they are easily dis-oriented.”

Two lost mushroom pickers keep Search & Rescue busyThe Comox Strath-

cona Waste Manage-ment (CSWM) service is holding its sixth a n n u a l P u m p k i n Smash, a fun family event which keeps thousands of kilo-grams of pumpkin – which aren’t being turned into pies or muffins – out of our landfills.

The Pumpkin Smash will take place over two days in Campbell River and in the Comox Val-ley. In Campbell River, the events are sched-uled for Friday, Nov. 2 and Monday, Nov. 5 from noon to 5 p.m. in the parking lot of Strathcona Gardens recreation complex (225 South Dogwood Street). Residents are encouraged to bring their jack-o-lanterns and smash them into compost rather than simply throwing them away.

The CSWM service also invites residents to share a photo of

their carved pumpkin before celebrating its last hurrah at one of these events. Simply e-mail a picture of you or a family mem-ber with the carved pumpkin to [email protected]; this makes you eligible for cool eco-friendly prizes and public notoriety by being posted on the CVRD social media sites.

“Over the years many families have come to these commu-nity events with some creative and unique carved pumpkins, and the photo contest is an opportunity show-case them in the com-munity,” said Koreen Gurak, CVRD’s man-ager of communica-tions. “It’s exhilarat-ing to be able to smash your pumpkin and have it turned into nutrient-rich compost rather than having it take up valuable space in our landfills.”

Par ticipants are

reminded to remove all objects such as candles and tea lights from their pumpkins prior to smashing. For more information on the pumpkin smash and the pumpkin carv-ing photo contest, visit www.cswm.ca/contest.

The Comox Strath-cona Waste Manage-ment (CSWM) service is a function of the Comox Valley Regional District (CVRD) and is responsible for two regional waste man-agement centres that serve the Comox Valley and Campbell River, as well as a range of transfer stations and smaller waste-handling and recycling facilities for the electoral areas of the CVRD and the Strathcona Regional District.

The CSWM service manages over 100,000 tonnes of waste and recycled material and oversees a number of diversion and educa-tion programs.

Step up nancial planning for blended families

Many Canadian families are still of the ‘traditional’ kind but, according to Statistics Canada (StatsCan), their numbers are declining while those for blended families are growing. The 2011 Census1 included stepfamilies (StatsCan’s term for blended families) for the rst time, and according to the Census stepfamilies now represent about one in eight families with children. Money matters are often a challenge in any relationship, and they become even more challenging in the case of a second (or third) marriage or common-law relationship, especially when they include children from previous and current relationships. Here are some points to consider:• If you and your partner have separate nancial plans, it’s important that you come together and develop a cohesive plan that will help best attain your new family’s objectives.• Determine how you are going to treat all your children equally. Establish an RESP for every child that does not already have one. • If you and your partner designate each other as the direct bene ciary of all of their assets, when one partner dies, everything goes to the survivor, potentially disinheriting the children of the deceased spouse. And, if the surviving partner should remarry,

the new partner could become entitled to the estate (or a large portion of it) which could disinherit not only the children of the deceased partner but even the children of the survivor. For these and other reasons, a standard will is not recommended for a blended family. Other strategies include dividing the estate at the time of death of the rst parent or using a spousal trust to protect the assets for both families. It’s crucial to speak to your legal advisor regarding a will with terms appropriate for your blended family.• Similar problems can arise from jointly held property. Many couples choose to hold property jointly so title passes automatically to the survivor on the death of the spouse and avoids probate fees (this does not apply in Québec). But if you have children or other dependants from a previous relationship and

want them to share in the value of your property, then holding title to the property jointly with the right of survivorship isn’t recommended. Speak to your legal advisors regarding ways to hold title to property in a way that bene ts your children and carries out your wishes. Financial and estate planning for blended families is complicated. Talk to your nancial and legal professional advisors about the right strategies for your personal situation.

Despite rain, mud and injuries, the team once again rose above all that was thrown at them.

They have stuck together, stood up for each other, and last Saturday, on home ground, put their never-give-up attitude in the spotlight.

In a gripping game, the team kept their focus, kept their fans freaking frantic and kept their first place ranking with a 22 – 20 win against Surrey’s Frank Hurt Secondary School.

As touchdowns were answered back and forth, both teams dug in and held nothing back.

Timberline stuck to a running game, while Frank Hurt, in a last attempt to edge ahead in the final minute, threw several long passes which never made it through the Wolve’s defense.

“That was one of my all time favorite games to play in,” tweeted one player after the game.

While the Wolves have finished their regular season games and have secured top

spot for play-offs, they now have to wait until the rest of the teams in the league finish their scheduled games over the next two weeks and fall into the ranking.

Being first, Timber-line has earned home field vantage for the first play-off game on Saturday, Novem-ber 17. More play-off information to come as it becomes avail-able.

The Campbell River Judo Club’s tourna-ment season got off to an amazing start last weekend at the BC Championships in Abbotsford.

The club sent over a range of fighters from juniors to adults with all the athletes compet-ing fiercely and repre-senting Campbell River proudly. The gold med-alists for the club were Jason Wellard, Jamil-iya Wellard, Anthony Henry, and Jordan Warner. All of whom won their matches by Ippon, meaning they either threw their opponent with a skill-ful controlled throw, submission or a pin of 25 seconds, a great accomplishment at any level of judo.

The Kata team of Darcy Yule and Chris Petersen took second place in Katame-no-Kata. Furthermore, two bronze medals were won by Leah Tremain and Thomas Connor, both showing great skill with ground fighting techniques in their matches.

Narrowly missing the podium were Haley Henry, Jacob Doherty, Sebastian Lafleur and Wyatt Huggins who all had close hard fought matches setting the stage for a great year of judo for the CRJC.

The Royal LePage Midget Tyees began its season Saturday on the right foot. After some dif ficult placement round games the Midg-ets found themselves in the second division with Comox A1, Ocean-side, Juan de Fuca A2 and Victoria Racquet Club A1.

The first opponent up was a rematch against Victoria Racquet Club. The disappointing loss from two weeks back was still fresh in the players’ minds and

the boys were eager to extract their pound of flesh. Perhaps a little too much so as within five minutes the Tyees found themselves short-handed with a five-min-ute penalty and a play-er’s services lost for the game.

The Tyee’s penalty killing was effective, turning back the Kings and not allowing them to set up. The shots were from outside and goalie Colton Thomp-son showed when tested he was on his game.

The Tyees successfully killed the major, how-ever another penalty followed shortly after

and Victoria made the Tyees pay, bounc-ing an odd off-speed shot past Thompson.

Much of the rest of the first and second, both teams struggled to cre-ate much in the way of scoring chances. However, early in the third, Victoria cashed in to go up 2-0. But in the blink of an eye, the Tyee’s Rauser quickly netted two goals, one the power play, just 44 seconds later, to tie things up at 2-2. Both teams pushed hard to notch the go ahead goal and both goalies turned away all shots.

Sunday the Tyees

picked up an exhibi-tion game against the Oceanside Generals. The Tyees played hard but showed better dis-cipline, and connected early and multiple times, jumping out to a 2-0 lead on goals by Goodwin on the power play and Jake Mack-enzie. The Generals got one back but John Kretzchmar scored off a nice rush, and again MacKenzie, with a beauty unassisted goal had the home team up 4-1 after the first.

The Generals, how-ever, were not about to go quietly. Oceanside scored once in the sec-ond, and again in the third. This seemed to wake the Tyees up and Mackenzie scored his third of the game to put the Tyees up 5-3. With a minute fifty to go, Oceanside drew back within one, creating a frantic end to a game that had once seemed in hand. Next up is a rematch with Oceans-ide Sunday at 1:15 p.m. in Campbell River.

Emotions run high in Midget Tyees season opener

‘Tis the season to pack and wrap a shoe-box and bring smiles to the faces of needy children around the world.

Operation Christmas Child, an initiative of the Christian humani-tarian organization Samaritan’s Purse, kicks off this week in Campbell River for another season.

This year is the 20th anniversary of Opera-tion Christmas Child in North America and the 100th million shoe box is expected to be packed and delivered to a child in one of several developing nations.

Campbell Riverites are encouraged to lend a hand and fill a shoe box of their own.

Deana Longland, C a m p b e l l R ive r ’s shoebox collection coordinator, has spear-headed the initiative for 11 years and is pas-sionate about giving to those with little.

“I think the biggest thing for me is the families have very lit-tle chance to give any-thing to their children. Having a shoebox – often it’s the first time they’ve ever received a gift,” Longland says.

“To bring a smile to their face and make them happy, I think that’s why most people do it. You know, our kids have so much and they have nothing.”

This year, all shoe-boxes packed in West-ern Canada will be delivered to children in Costa Rica, Nicara-

gua, El Salvador, Gua-temala, Venezuela, Paraguay, Guinea and Equatorial Guinea.

Recommended gifts for the shoeboxes include small toys, toi-letries, school supplies, and books. A special letter from the donor and a photo are also a thrill for the children,

Longland says, but what ends up in the box is completely up to the packer.

Boxes can be packed with either a boy or girl in mind, in the age range of two to four-years, five-to-nine-years, or 10-to-14-years.

Longland said often

the children who receive a shoebox will also share with the other children in their tiny village.

Longland said a friend who was work-ing on a humanitarian project in remote Ecua-dor during shoebox deliveries witnessed a young girl unpack her box and set aside some of her gifts to give to others in the village.

“They’re so grateful and they’re so appre-ciative,” Longland says. “It’s nice they can receive something and sometimes they’re able to share it with other people.”

Canadians have also been generous when it comes to sharing.

Last year, 672,274 shoeboxes were filled in Canada while 8.6 million were collected worldwide and distrib-uted to six continents. This year, locally, Tim-berline, Carihi and Sandowne schools will

be filling shoeboxes to send to children in impoverished coun-tries.

To join the cause and fill a shoebox, simply find an empty box or small plastic con-tainer and fill it with a variety of school sup-plies, toys and hygiene products that will not break, leak or harm a child.

Each shoebox should include a $7 donation enclosed in the box by

either cash or cheque to cover project and shipping costs.

Boxes can be dropped off at the Discovery Community Church (former Galaxy The-atre) on 11th Avenue between Nov. 20-25 from 9:30 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesday to Friday and from 9:30 a.m.-2 p.m. on Saturday.

Boxes can also be packed online at samaritanspurse.ca/shoebox
