BC Hydro is delicately balancing water levels in the Campbell River and behind John Hart Dam in a tense effort to manage a ‘perfect storm’ of flood conditions.

“We may likely need to further increase the discharge through the Elk Falls Canyon as we try to man-age through these flood risk man-agement conditions,” BC Hydro spokesperson Stephen Watson said Tuesday morning.

BC Hydro had spent Monday night keeping a nervous eye on the Campbell River watershed after a combination of heavy rain, winds and high tides hit Monday night and Tuesday morning.

The Upper Campbell Reser-voir/Buttle Lake rose almost one metre in 24 hours from Monday to Tuesday. As the reservoir level increases, BC Hydro’s downstream operational flexibility diminishes, Watson said.

Two waves of subtropical storms hit the Campbell River area this week bringing the wind and rain. Meanwhile, the flood watch con-tinues.

“This was a major rain event and the wet weather continues - this will be a multiple day event,” Wat-son said.

BC Hydro increased the spill down Elk Falls Canyon to 180 m3/s on Monday night to provide a total Campbell River flow above the Quinsam River of 300 m3/s. In consideration of the uncontrolled Quinsam River and the high tide Tuesday morning, BC Hydro

backed off power generation from the John Hart Generating Station considerably during that sensitive period and just barely managed to keep the flows within the river bank.

Since the weekend, BC Hydro had been spilling water down Elk Falls Canyon from the John Hart Dam and that looks to continue for at least the next nine days to balance high reservoir elevations and flood risk along the Campbell River. BC Hydro was anticipating the avail-

A Campbell River family is asking the community for help with astro-nomical medical expenses being racked up by one of their members who was hit by a vehicle in Mexico last Saturday.

And as of Monday, Campbell Riv-erites answered the call to the tune of about $12,000.

This is one of two stories of Camp-bell Riverites appealing to the com-munity for help with costs incurred in Mexico. On page 3, a local family is struggling to deal with the legal costs of bringing a daughter back home.

Ryan Hogue sustained eight bro-ken ribs and damaged lungs, includ-ing one punctured lung and one swollen lung. He is also suffering kidney failure and underwent sur-gery Friday night.

He was discovered laying in the middle of a road by some unknown passerby late Saturday night in Can-cun. It’s believed he had been hit by a vehicle.

“And down there, if they hit some-body, they just take off,” said his brother Shane Hogue.

Fortunately, an anonymous Mexi-can citizen felt compassionate enough to call an ambulance which took him to the hospital where Ryan

There was water everywhere in Campbell River Tuesday morning after storm conditions hit the city overnight. Road flooding occured on 16th Avenue.

Oyster River could exceed 20-year flood levelAccording to Emergency Info BC, folks with property on the Oyster

River should probably be filling their sandbags.“River levels on Vancouver Island and the Central Coast have risen

substantially overnight (Dec. 8),” according to the alert issued at 10:45 a.m. on Dec. 9.

“Flows on the Tsolum River and Oyster River are now above the 10 year flood level and are expected to continue to rise today (Dec. 9), potentially exceeding the 20-year flood level.”

We will continue to monitor the situation and update this story at campbellrivermirror.com

BC Hydro will operate the John Hart dam and generating station in consideration of the high ocean tides each morning

and unregulated Quinsam River discharge. BC Hydro said it will try to keep river flows above the Quinsam River at or below 350 m3/s. This means the Elk Falls Canyon flow may reach 230 m3/s as BC Hydro modifies its opera-tions as needed to deal with these major storms.

“The public is advised to stay away from the Campbell River and Elk Falls during these high flows,” Watson said. “We have reached out to the City of Camp-bell River, Strathcona Regional District and Emergency Manage-ment BC so that we are all coor-dinated.”

ber anything about the accident.

His mother and father Diane and Barry Scott joined their son in Mex-ico as did other family members who have the same blood type. They have provided the neces-sary blood transfusions but the medical care is racking up staggering charges. Already costs in the area of $17,000 for the doctors’ services have been racked up. To

get Ryan back to Can-ada will cost $47,000 in cash, Shane said. That’s after he’s been stabilized enough to travel such a distance.

For now, the family is asking for help from the community with the expenses. It’s unclear whether Ryan is eligible for Canadian health care. Communication with Canadian and Mexican embassies is proving problematic.

Ryan was living in Mexico and had applied for dual citizenship. He recently married in Mex-

ico and his wife is at the hospital with the family.

Shane said it is a hum-bling experience to have to ask for help but this longtime Campbell River family are in need at this time. An account has been set up at RBC and if anyone is able to contribute you can call Shane at 1-778-773-5492 to arrange a donation to the account being pro-vided by the bank with no charges.

ALISTAIR TAYLORCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A Campbell River woman is hopeful her granddaughter will be returned to Canada to live with her father.

The fate of eight-year-old Sofii Doyle is in the hands of the Mexican appeal court which should be bringing a judgement down this week or next. Her grand-mother Jan Wade and father Jeff Doyle have been travelling back and forth to Mexico working the Mexican legal system in an effort to have Sofii’s mother return her to her father who has legal cus-tody.

Soffi, who was born in Campbell River, was

taken to Mexico in Sep-tember, 2013 for a visit by her mother Christina, a Mexican national who had separated from Jeff after the couple returned to Campbel l River in order to give their daughter a quality edu-cation. The September, 2013 visit was the sec-ond such request Sofii’s mother had made, the first visit going off with-out a hitch. However, Sofii and Christina did not return as expected the second time. Jeff had agreed to the visit and put it in writing, stating that they were expected to return in three weeks. Written permission from separated parents is often advisable when taking children across

borders.However, Christina

never brought Sofii back. What followed were months of spotty communication, the procurement of an offi-cial declaration from the B.C. Supreme Court that Jeff was Sofii’s legal guardian and the launch of legal proceedings in Mexico.

In September of this year Jeff was informed of a trial date set for Sept. 22 in Mexico City and he and Wade flew to down to attend.

They saw Sofii from outside the courtyard making her way in with Christina and several friends. They immedi-ately called out to Sofii but she appeared con-

fused and hesitant.“Hugs and kisses were

shared with Sofii,” Jeff said. “We sat with her for a while and gave Sofii her birthday presents on the stairs of the court house.”

Unfortunately, the judge did not show and a replacement had to be found. That meant the hearing was postponed

for a week.Jeff and his mother

returned to Vancou-ver Island to get back to work. But Jeff went back to Mexico the next week and appeared in court on the 29th. The judge awarded Jeff two preliminary visits at a government run facility on Oct. 4 and 5 for three hours per day. Christina

arrived 40 minutes late.“Those precious hours

with Sofii gave me an opportunity to feel whole again, alive again with hope and love and invigorated as a parent to be with my daugh-ter laughing, playing, holding hands, talking for hours, running and

and holding hands, blow-ing bubbles and telling each other stories,” Jeff said. “The whole time (I was) holding back tears as the clock ticked away the hours as if they were minutes.”

They went back to court to receive the decision of the judge on Oct. 7. It was made in Jeff ’s favour but the judge wanted to have Sofii remain in the same house and to keep her daily routine as close as possible for Sofii’s sake. Christina pleaded to the

court to not take Sofii away immediately and the judge gave in some-what.

The mother had 10 days in which to make an appeal and in the meantime, prevented Jeff from seeing his daughter and Mexican officials from checking up on her. Police were called and Christina’s testi-mony was also found to be fraudulent, Jeff said.

More court proceed-ings followed, two of which the mother did not appear, even though Jeff flew all the way

from Canada to attend. Christina’s appeal was then launched and the Appeal Courts decision

was to come down on Nov. 11 but the decision ordered a psychological evaluation of Sofii. In the

interim, attempts to have visits with his daughter were blocked.

The result of the evalu-ation was to be returned to the court by Dec. 13.

Jeff and his lawyer have also fielded state crimi-nal and federal criminal actions for domestic vio-lence, child abuse and child abduction, proce-dural fraud, failure to allow visitation rights even though Jeff has full custody and other crimi-nal charges.

All this legal action has taken a financial toll on Jeff and he and his

mother Wade are appeal-ing to the community for assistance. Even some-thing as straightforward as taxi rides are costly. Mexico City is a huge city with almost as many people living there as live in Canada. It takes an hour and a half taxi ride just to get from Jeff ’s hotel to the court.

A trust account for donations has been set up at the Campbell River CIBC under the name Help Bring Sofii Home. The transit number is 00140 and the account number is 88-51034 and the account can be accessed at any CIBC in Canada.

Despite what Cana-

dians may have heard about the Mexican legal system, Jeff and his mother have nothing but praise for it. They have sided with the Cana-dian father, ruling in his favour and the authori-ties have made the effort to enforce court orders and investigate legal charges.

Jeff ’s lawyer, Eddie Varon James Levy, was hired over the phone in Los Angeles three days before the first hear-ing and flew to Mexico City on the strength of a promise he would be paid.

“He has worked tire-lessly on our behalf,” Wade said.

MIKE DAVIESCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

According to the End-ing Violence Association of BC (EVA), based on numbers compiled from Statistics Canada, over half of women in this province have experi-enced physical or sex-ual violence since they turned 16 years of age.

Every year there are over 60,000 physical or sexual assaults against women in B.C. That’s more than 1,100 per week.

In 2006, 12 per cent of all prosecutions in B.C. courts were domes-tic violence cases, not including those return-ing to court on breaches of orders as a result of prosecution for domes-tic violence – that’s one in every eight cases seen by a judge – and only about a quarter of domestic abuse cases are reported.

The overwhelming majority of these abuses and assaults are perpe-trated by men.

“This is not a women’s issue. This is a men’s issue,” says Gloria Jack-son, Coordinator of Community Based Vic-tim Services for the Campbell River Family Services Society.

“Most men aren’t vio-lent,” Jackson says. “We know that. It’s only a small proportion of men (who are). The other good men have to start standing up and saying to their buddies, their sons, their peers, ‘hey, that’s not okay,’ or ‘what you just said isn’t funny,’” when they see attitudes of sexism or denigration happening.

One of the main issues in addressing this

societal problem, accord-ing to Jackson, is that we just don’t have a good understanding of what “violence” actually is.

“Lots of people think about it as that woman with the black eye or the broken arm,” Jack-son says. “The reality is that as much as I see that kind of abuse, some of the women that I really see damaged in my office are the ones who have been putting up with emotional abuse for years – the ones who have been called down and had somebody con-trol them. That’s what violence is about.

“It’s about power and control.”

A l l a n C a m p b e l l , Manager of the Mental Health and Addictions Program with KDC Health, and facilitator of various relationship violence groups, agrees with Jackson in regards to the power dynamic being the main driver in violent behaviour.

“The core of this issue is that the perpetrator of violence is seeking to place themselves in a dominant role,” he says. Campbell understands the “it’s a men’s issue,” argument – considering that the overwhelming

majority of the perpetra-tors are men – but feels the argument should be framed differently.

“We need to change it from a ‘him’ or ‘her’ issue to an ‘us’ or ‘we’ point of view,” Campbell says. “Relationships are inter-actions between people. They’re not a ‘one side or the other’ situation, so it’s not the responsibility of one side or the other to fix it.”

He feels that, although we’re making progress on this issue as a society, the major shift won’t hap-pen until we change the cultural attitude towards these relationship power dynamics.

The foundation of violence lies not only in the aspect of one person pursuing dominance over another, he says, but in why that attitude exists in the first place.

“As a society, we have these long-standing dis-torted beliefs and value systems,” Campbell says. These belief systems pre-serve a sense of entitle-ment by some – mainly men – and create a reg-ularly-portrayed under-standing that we can resolve issues by domi-nating other people.

“ Thos e messages , however subtle they might be, are passed to our children,” he says. “We need to make a conscious effort to teach our kids the right things about respect and com-munication, and exam-ine how these other damaging messages are perpetuated.”

The one thing that is clear is that violence against women is not a women’s issue.

It’s a societal issue and we all need to be a part of the solution.

Reframing the discussion about domestic violence

THEY SAID IT: “We need to change it from a ‘him’ or ‘her’ issue to an ‘us’ or ‘we’ point of view.”– Allan Camp-bell, Manager, Mental Health & Addictions, KDC Health

The analogy is appropriate, but it needs to be taken a step further.

In a year-end interview with Black Press’ Tom Fletcher, Premier Christie Clark tried to compare her government’s finances to that of any household. Repeating the words she and her finance minister spoke earlier in the week, the premier suggested a family that has rode through tough times using credit cards needs to put money on

those cards when the finances improve.She was speaking of the government’s estimated $444

million surplus and her plan to put that money toward

B.C.’s debt. We agree that is a prudent strategy. It is irresponsible to ignore the debt. It’s almost criminal to burden future governments and future generations with such a financial millstone. However, we don’t believe the entire $400 million needs to go to paying down the debt.

Let’s continue with the premier’s fictitious family. When times are tough and you are living off credit cards, many things around the house fall into disrepair. The plumbing, the electrical, perhaps the roof.

Yes, you can get by for a while without these things being fixed. They can be put off until finances improve. But when the money situation gets better, it makes sense to not only put some cash down on the credit cards,

but fix the roof. A leaky and/or old roof is just going to cause more expensive problems down the road if it’s not upgraded.

The B.C. government has a bunch of leaky roofs. It’s time to take a quarter, a third or even half of that $444 million to fix some of these problems around its house.

When times were tougher, maybe it made sense to hike medical premiums and claw back child support payments from social assistance and disability recipients. However, we are seeing some of the results of these cuts, especially in regards to the ferry service. Sure, Premier Clark, pay down that credit card debt. But fix the roof first.

We say: Premier should take her household analogy further

I have recently been in touch with the city about an issue with what they refer to as roll over curbs, onto a sidewalk, along South Alder St. Roll over curbs were put in about 30 years ago.

These curbs are part of the entrance to mine and many other driveways along Alder St. I have to climb these so called Roll Over Curbs to get into my driveway, the problem lies with the fact that I almost have to come to a stop to enter my driveway to climb this curb to avoid doing damage to my vehicles steering, which has almost caused a few rear enders. The city says that he cannot justify doing anything about it, but if I want to fix it myself, at my own cost, that would be fine. They want me to fix a blunder that the city created approximatley 30 years ago, when they extended Alder St. after all it does not take a rocket scientist to see that this is a dangerous situation, and extremely hard on the front end of vehicles. They city feels that it cannot justify fixing a problem that occurred 30 years ago and that it has not had any complaints about in the past. I just wonder how many people out there are concerned about this safety issue?

How do you solve a problem like Rivercorp?So, Rivercorp and CEO Vic Goodman

have agreed to go in different directions, as the banalities of corporate speak were put into play last week.

Except they’re not going in different directions, in my mind. They’re both going out the door. Vic is just going first.

It’s hard to see much appetite for feed-ing the city’s municipal development corporation many more tax dollars. It took a rough ride in last month’s munic-ipal election campaign. Former mayor Walter Jakeway was never a fan of Riv-ercorp and newly-elected mayor Andy Adams sure didn’t sound like a River-corp booster in his inaugural address last week.

“Economic development will need to be more focused, results oriented, and

accountable,” Adams said. “I look for-ward to sitting down with the Rivercorp board and collectively set a new direc-tion.”

So, what do we want Rivercorp to do? Create new business and jobs, right? Attract more investment to Campbell River. So, how do you do that? Hand out information. Network. Produce fancy brochures and dynamic websites. Well, Rivercorp has done all that. But, so far, nobody is happy with the results.

It will be really interesting to see if dumping their CEO and then conduct-ing an internal review can change any-thing about this organization.

It may be saddled with an impossible task. As much as voters clamor for the city to do something about economic

development, it’s really not in the city’s hands. The market will determine if businesses locate here. The LNG plant proposal for Campbell River’s Elk Falls mill site came about because of the cheap industrial site and a speculative climate for LNG development in the province brought about by...the provin-cial government.

In an article on Forbes’ website, a writer identified six ways for the American government to create economic growth: encourage innovative entrepreneurship, reform immigration, end the costly war on drugs, require the unemployed to volunteer, cut health costs and remove unnecessary and unclear laws. And that’s it. For the whole United States! It’s all pretty nebulous stuff

In light of that, what’s Rivercorp going to do? I’m thinking the only real things it can do is give tax breaks to compete with other cities but I suspect they probably constitute unfair trade practices.

The only hope in the Forbes article is to encourage innovation. It’s hardly an economic development plan but it might lead to something. Down the road. Later on. Somewhere. Sometime.

The only real income generating idea I’ve heard in a while is Coun. Charlie Cornfield’s community forest proposal. The city can generate business for itself by farming and harvesting trees. It’s good for the city and the taxpayers’ bot-tom line. It will generate more money than Rivercorp ever did.

But it doesn’t create other businesses.

Mayor Andy Adams turned to the public in choosing his appointees to the new Strathcona Regional District Board.

Adams announced at Tuesday’s inaugural council meeting that the appointments were decided by popularity.

“For 2015, I’m rec-ommending that the

appointments to the Strathcona Regional District be decided by the voters,” Adams said. “As such, in addi-tion to myself, the top four council candidates, being councillor (Char-lie) Cornfield, (Michele) Babchuk, (Larry) Sam-son and (Ron) Kerr are to be considered and councillors (Marlene) Wright and (Colleen) Evans will serve as alter-

nate directors.”Adams used the same

method to elect Camp-bell River council repre-sentatives to the Comox Strathcona Regional Hospital Board and the Comox Strathcona Regional Solid Waste Board. That means Adams, Cornfield, Bab-chuk, Samson, and Kerr will all sit on three differ-ent boards in addition to city council.

Wright was chosen as the alternate to the hos-pital board while Evans was appointed as the alternate to the solid waste board.

Kerr was selected to represent Camp-bell River council on the Vancouver Island Regional Library Board.

Council unanimously approved all of Adams’ council appointments during Tuesday’s inaugu-ral meeting at the Com-munity Centre.Regional board holds

inaugural meeting

The new Strathcona Regional District directors will take part in their first board meeting tomorrow.

Elections for board chair and vice-chair will be held at the start of the meeting and the new board chair will then take over the meeting.

Quadra Island director Jim Abram is the current board chair. He was elected by regional district directors to that position last December and ran against

former councillor Claire Moglove. The 2015 edition of the Strathcona

Regional District board will include Campbell River councillors Ron Kerr and Larry Samson, as well as newly elected councillors Michele Babchuk and Charlie Cornfield, and Mayor Andy Adams.

Also returning to the board are all four electoral directors – Abram, Brenda Leigh (Area D), Noba Anderson (Area B-Cortes Island), and Gerald Whalley (Area A) – as well as Tahsis Mayor Jude Schooner and Sayward Mayor John MacDonald.

The city’s forestry task force will be resurrected.

Mayor Andy Adams announced in his inau-gural address last week that Campbell River needs to seize the oppor-tunities that are here now and one of the most obvi-ous is forestry.

“We are the centre for the coastal forest indus-

try,” Adams said. “We have neglected this sector for the past three years and it is my intention to work to revive this indus-try in Campbell River.”

Adams chose Coun. Charlie Cornfield to head up a forestry task force that will pick up where the former Future of Forestry Task Force left off.

After Cornfield was elected mayor in 2008 he

appointed former coun-cillor Ziggy Stewart to a newly created Future of Forestry Task Force which was designed to rejuvenate the industry and attract forestry busi-nesses and jobs to the community.

It also recommended the city’s Wood First pol-icy, which dictates that newly built municipal buildings must use wood as the primary construc-

tion material.The task force, how-

ever, fell by the wayside following the 2011 elec-tion.

Adams said the new council will work to revive the task force, lead by Cornfield.

He said the task force is expected “to work with the Truck Loggers Association, Timber-West, Western Forest Products, Interfor and

all other forest-related companies based here in Campbell River and on Vancouver Island to help re-build the coastal forest industry.”

And that’s not all.“Charlie will also be

tasked with the estab-lishment of a community forest here in Campbell River,” Adams said.

“This could not only be a positive source of revenue for the city but

can also be a working lab for expanded forestry-related programs at North Island College.”

Council previously discussed applying for a community forest in 2011.

Nigel Ross, the chair of the Future of Forestry Task at that time, told council that geography would be the biggest determining factor in whether or not a com-

munity forest would be successful.

“The profitability is directly linked to the location. A good location with high quality timber means there’s a better chance for profit,” Ross said in 2011. Commu-nity forests are located on provincial land and are leased by a com-munity for terms of 25 years, with a renewable option every 10 years.

New mayor will revive forestry task force, says industry has been neglected by council

Downtown Campbell River and Campbellton will be under a lot of water in the event of a major earthquake.

BC Hydro says that f lood water from a dam breach caused by a major earthquake could arrive within 30 minutes to an hour and flood large areas of Campbell River – some areas near the river up to 11 metres deep.

“Under normal condi-tions the three dams in the Campbell River sys-tem are in good shape and well managed for public safety and flood control,” says BC Hydro’s Stephen Watson.

“We also need to plan for a worst-case scenario where a major earth-quake could damage our dam system and release water downstream. The good news is that BC Hydro has a plan over the next 20 years plus to bring the John Hart and Strathcona dams up to

current seismic guide-lines. Until that work is complete, these two dams may not withstand a major earthquake.”

A public information campaign is about to be launched with details about the flood risk and evacuation proce-dures to help commu-nity members plan for a major, worst-case sce-nario earthquake.

H o w i e Siemens, the emer-g e n c y c o o r -d i n a t o r for the S t r a t h -c o n a Regional District, said there may not be a lot of time to react once a major earthquake hits so information is being shared to help the community be prepared.

“Mapping informa-tion from BC Hydro,

including water arrival times and depths from a potential dam failure, has helped us develop emergency plans over the years,” says Siemens.

“Now, for perhaps the first time in the prov-ince, BC Hydro is releas-ing a map to the public so we can all be better prepared.”

On Dec. 3, the City of Campbell River issued

le t ters to all the resi-dents and businesses within the p o t e n t i a l f l o o d o r evacuation area.

The letter includes two b ro c hu re s

with an evacu-ation area map for the region and the city.

The brochures show the possible water arrival times and depths, and tips to prepare so the community is ready

to react.The brochures are

also posted on the BC Hydro, city and Strath-cona Regional District’s websites, and paper copies are available at City Hall, recreational facilities, the Strathcona Regional District office at 301-990 Cedar Street and Strathcona Gardens.

Frequently asked ques-tions are also answered on the city and Strath-cona Regional District websites.

Information sessions

The letter includes in for mat ion ab out public education work-shops, hosted by the city, set for Dec. 11 and 15. Two separate sessions will run on Dec. 11 (one at 2 p.m. and one at 6:30 p.m.) at the Tidemark Theatre.

Seating is limited to 400 people per session and will be filled on a first-come basis.

A third session at the Tidemark will run on Dec. 15 at 2 p.m. Pre-sentations by BC Hydro and members of the community emergency preparedness team will provide information on how to prepare for this risk.

The sessions will last about two hours, with the first hour being about presentations and information, and the second hour provid-ing for questions and answers from various experts on a panel. The expert panel will feature representatives from the city, regional district, BC Hydro and Emergency Management BC.

The City of Camp-bell River and Strath-cona Regional District’s Emergency Coordina-tor will then conclude the presentation session with a talk about emer-gency planning and developing response plans in the event of a

major earthquake.“To be really clear, we

are only talking about a major earthquake that could damage our dams,” Watson empha-sizes. “This is the kind of earthquake that causes considerable damage to ordinary buildings, including partial col-lapse. This isn’t about a moderate earthquake but a major one with longer and stronger ground movement, with its epicentre near Camp-bell River.”

Dams could pose a threat

Watson says it is unlikely that one of the dams would fail imme-diately following a major earthquake. Yet we need to plan for the worst

case scenario.“BC Hydro’s immedi-

ate plan in the event of a major earthquake is to conduct an emergency reservoir drawdown,

which would send more water downstream and potentially cause some f looding along the immediate river area,” Watson adds. “Our information and follow-up modelling of the Campbell River system dams have found that the downstream risks are significant should a major earthquake hit the area before our dam safety seismic upgrades are completed,” Watson adds. “People also need to know that there is a plan, a good plan, to upgrade those dams to a 1-in-10,000 year major earthquake level.”

Be prepared

While the focus for this public information campaign is on what to do in the event of a major earthquake, peo-ple in Campbell River also need to remember that a series of major storms could also flood similar areas of the city.

“A major earthquake or a major flood event should be part of peo-ple’s personal or busi-ness emergency pre-paredness plan if you live or work within the evacuation area,” says Siemens.

“We should all plan responsibly, so we can feel ready for the worst case scenario.”

People are encour-aged to attend one of the three workshops for more information.

Mike DaviesCampbell RiveR miRRoR

So, how are things at North Island College (NIC) these days?

With the push by the government(s) to get more people into trades and heavy-industry-based careers due to shortages of trained workers in many fields, you may expect the local training facility to be bustling with activity.

You’d be right.“Things are certainly

busy,” said Patricia Rokosh, Dean of Trades. “In a lot of areas, our dis-ciplines are 100 per cent full.”

N I C , a c c o r d i n g to Rokosh, recently reviewed their programs and offerings and were given the opportunity to smooth out some issues that were clogging up the system.

“We recently got addi-tional funding from (the Ministry of Advanced Educat ion), to put towards addressing wait lists in high-demand areas,” she said, and therefore had the oppor-tunity to add sections and offerings to relieve some of those wait list pressures.

“What we’re doing is looking at the demand coming in, seeing where we have capacity where we know the demand is – where we know that students will be able to get jobs,” by talking to industry and doing their

research, she said, and then looking at how they can go about getting the funds to open up further spaces to be able to train the people to fill those roles.

It’s a matter of being able to show the demand to their funding partners she said, both in terms of “industry need” and “interest in training” – such as long wait lists for courses or programs in order to get the fund-ing to add course sec-tions.

“My understanding is that we can have another round of those discus-sions in the next month or so,” she said, so they will hopefully be adding even more capacity for an upcoming entrance term.

“We’re also, through our Continuing Edu-cat ion Department, looking at shorter-term certificate kinds of pro-gramming,” she said, to help relieve some more of those pressures, and get people into some sort of training that will be of benefit to them, even if it’s not a full program.

“These would be things like First Aid, Marine Operator, Drywall Train-ing, Painter/Decorator Training, or Construc-tion Craftworker Train-ing, for example,” she said. These are short pro-grams that will give stu-dents some extra skills to help get them into the workforce quickly, and, in some cases, may also

cut back on the amount of training needed to complete a full program if they choose to enter one somewhere down the road.

Theoretically, getting one of these certifica-tions to get into a job more quickly, would also then allow the student to get into a situation where their employer would indenture them and put them through school.

That’s Rokoch’s hope, anyway.

“Hopeful ly people

will be able to impress their employer and show them that they’re bright, and they’re willing, and they’ve shown that they’re willing to invest in that company, and the employer will turn around and be willing to invest in them in return.”

For more information about NIC’s programs and offerings, check out nic.bc.ca and watch future editions of the Mirror for upcoming features about what’s happening at the college.

'Tis the season

The Pier Street Christmas Markets at the Maritime Heritage Centre kicked off on Sunday. Clockwise from right: James Hol-land of Little Lily Tutu displays an assort-ment of dress-up clothes and flowered head bands; Lacey Nutt looks at table full of hand-made glit-tering necklaces. The craft fairs return to the Maritime Heri-tage Centre on Dec. 14 and 21, from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. both days.

Kristen Douglas/the Mirror

Multi-instrumentalist David Lindley performs music that redefines the word “eclectic.”

Lindley, well known for his many years as the featured accompanist with Jackson Browne, and leader of his own band El Rayo-X, has long championed the concept of world music.

The David Lindley electro-acoustic perfor-mance effortlessly com-bines American folk, blues, and bluegrass traditions with elements from African, Arabic, Asian, Celtic, Malagasy, and Turkish musical sources. Lindley incor-porates an incredible array of stringed instru-ments including but not limited to Kona and Weissenborn Hawaiian lap steel guitar, Turk-ish saz and chumbus, Middle Eastern oud, and Irish bouzouki. The eye-poppingly clad “Mr. Dave’s” uncanny vocal mimicry and demented sense of humor make his onstage banter a high-light of the show. And that show will appear in the Tidemark Theatre on Tuesday, Jan. 6

Lindley grew up in southern California,

first taking up the banjo as a teenager, and sub-sequently winning the annual Topanga Canyon banjo and fiddle contest five times.

Between 1967 and 1971 Lindley founded and led what must now be seen as the first world music rock band, the Kaleidoscope. In 1971, Mr. Dave joined forces with Jackson Browne, serving as Jackson’s most significant musical co-conspirator until 1981.

In 1979, Lindley had begun working with old friend Ry Cooder on Bop Till you Drop and The Long Riders sound track, a musical collabo-ration that lasts to this day, and has spawned many recording projects and several world tours as an acoustic duo.

In 1981, Lindley cre-ated his own remarkable band El Rayo-X, which integrated American roots music and world beat with a heavy reggae influence.

Throughout this long and distinguished career, Lindley has been one of Hollywood’s most in-demand session musi-cians, lending his skills to the recorded works of

Bob Dylan, Rod Stewart, Linda Ronstadt, Crosby and Nash, Warren Zevon, and others.

At his expansive and eclectic live perfor-mances David Lindley consistently gives one of the most unique concert experiences available to adventuresome music listeners.

Lindley’s show at the Tidemark Theatre on Jan. 6 is a presentation of the Tidemark Theatre and Vancouver Island MusicFest.

Tickets are $32 plus taxes and fees and can be purchased at the Box Office from Tuesday – Saturday between 12 and 4 p.m. Tickets are also available online from www.islandmusicfest.com and www.tidemark-theatre.com .

My partner and I always seem to be ghting. Is there hope for us?

Yes, there de nitely is hope. Because many people don’t know how to express themselves when they feel pressure, they resort to blaming and yelling. Many couples tend to ght over the same things repeatedly, without resolution. However, it is possible to learn how to disagree and even ght in a productive manner. Here are three key suggestions:• Set aside the need to be right.• Learn how to really listen, to understand each other’s true concerns.• Learn how to repair a relationship quickly after an argument. There’s lots of hope, particularly if both parties are willing to put in the effort required to develop better relational patterns. A skilled counsellor knows how to help.

How do I get my body tuned up for ski season?

One of the easiest ways to minimize your risk of a knee sprain is to strengthen the muscles the muscles around the knee that act as shock absorbers and joint stabilizers. Appropriate quadriceps-to-hamstring strength ratio and timing helps protect the knee by checking forward sliding of the tibia (shin bone),which can rupture the ACL.Female skiers are particularly vulnerable to ACL injuries compared to their male counterparts due to different quads-to-hamstring strength ratio and landing mechanics. Two good pre-season exercises for skiers are: body-weight squats from 30-80º of knee exion and walking backwards while maintaining a skiers crouch. Start with one-minute sets of each, and progress up to ve-minute sets. If you would like a more speci c pre-season exercise program, your Physiotherapist can assess the biomechanics of your knees and prescribe appropriate exercises.

During the holiday season what kind of goodies can I make that are gluten and dairy free? I have several delicious new recipes on my website: Quinoa Quiche muf ns made with eggs and daiya cheese; pumpkin dairy andgluten free cheesecake made with daiya cheese and organic tofu, topped with a coconut whipped cream; shortbread cookies made with sweet rice our and potato starch (but has butter and sugar) and nally my rice pancakes are delicious topped with raw cashew butter rather than with the hazel nut chocolate spreads on the market.

What is “Phishing” “Phishing” really does mean “ shing”, except with emails as bait, fear as a hook, and you as the unsuspecting catch. An e-mail, or a window pops up from what appears to be a government agency, an internet service provider, or a valid bank or credit card company. You’ll be asked to “verify” or “update” your information(name, password, account numbers) on the company’s web site. The e-mail may even say that the company has suspected some fraudulent activity on your account, and it needs to verify that you are whom you claim to be…they are shing for your personal information. If you click the link attached, or cut and paste into your browser, it will take you to what seems to be a professional web site where you’ll be asked to provide information, and if you do, it can cause you years of heartache and embarrassment. Your credit rating may be severely damaged, people may commit crimes in your name, or run up thousands of dollars on your credit cards. Reputable agencies do not send emails to individuals asking for personal information! Be informed and be aware.

Can I avoid my kids getting large amounts of my estate in cash when I die?There are ways to control disbursement of your estate to your heirs but all require complex planning. An insurance-licensed investments advisor has products and tools at their disposal to allow them to construct a plan that suits your needs. Certain products will allow for a death bene t to be paid out over time to the bene ciary. Plus, many of these products cannot be contested in a court of law, so those payments stay payments, and not a lump sum that may be spent unwisely. A well constructed estate plan will ensure your assets go where you want them to, how you want them to, when you want them to.

Can I collect Canada Pension Plan disability payments with other disability income?

Canada Pension Plan disability payments are typically “carved out” of virtually every disability bene t paid in Canada. PWD (Persons With Disabilities) in BC, most group plans, and even some individual plans, will deduct your CPP payment dollar for dollar. Plus, where your group disability may be tax free, the CPP disability payment is not. So you end up netting less each month if you opt to take the CPP bene t. If you are disabled, and are trying to make sense of your options, it is always advisable to speak to a nancial advisor who has expertise in this area. Call our of ce if you would like more information on disability earnings.

Campbell River’s new mayor says he will be asking city council to support the work of the aquaculture industry.

Adams said at last week’s inaugural council meeting that he wants the city to get behind the industry.

“We’re the centre for the aquaculture indus-try in British Colum-bia,” Adams said. “I will ask council to support executive director Jer-emy Dunn and the BC Salmon Farmers’ Asso-ciation and other aqua-culture industries.”

But Adams was quick to point out that it needs to be a multi-pronged approach

He said c o u n c i l will need to “work with First Nat i ons , provincial and fed-eral gov-ernments to ensure this indus-try can grow in a sustainable and envi-ronmentally respectful manner, providing jobs and economic stability for families in (the) com-munity.”

Adams noted that a strong, vibrant aqua-culture industry could

have a posi-tive trickle-down effect.H e s a i d that institu-tions such a s Nor t h Island Col-lege and the B.C. Centre for Aquatic Health Sci-ences would

h a v e t h e opportunity “to provide programs that expand the trades and skill sets in our students and make a significant differ-ence in our community.”

Close callThe Scotiabank Bantam B Tyees collapse around the net as the puck ricochets off the goal post during a game Saturday afternoon against the Cowichan Valley Capitals at Rod Brind’Amour Arena. Cowichan won the game by a score of 6-3.

P h o e n i x M i d d l e School and Carihi Sec-ondary School took a contingency of wrestlers

to the Vancouver Island Novice Wrestling Tournament last week-end in Ducan.

All came away with valuable experience, and several athletes earned outstanding results.

About 150 athletes attended the Nov-ice Tournament – the only tournament open

to beginners and that provides a chance for the wrestlers to prac-tice their skills before the competitive events begin.

From Phoenix, Gray-son Lebeuf and Holten Ewing earned bronze; Ella Gallant, Carrie Mullett, Haley Wingert, Keely Elves and Hailey Richard walked away with silver and Bryn Girvin scored gold. For Carihi, Dylan Sparling

took the bronze, Rafael Ramonsinacio the silver and Josh Barr and Alex Santosohasai left it all on the mat and both came home with gold medals. At the end of the day, team results saw Phoe-nix girl’s finish second, Phoenix boys fourth, and Carihi boys fourth. The club’s top wrestlers will be travelling to Abbotsford this week-end for the first compe-tition of the season.

Wrestlers hit the mats in season opener

The Campbell River Storm extracted a healthy dose of revenge over the weekend, pummelling a pair of North Divi-sion opponents they had recently lost to. Friday night at home, the Storm set a new team record for most goals in a game

with a 17-1 annihilation of the Oceanside Gener-als. They followed that up with a 6-1 victory over the Comox Valley Gla-cier Kings on Saturday in Courtenay. The Storm was beaten in over-time by both teams last month. Newly acquired

Will McNamara, who the Storm picked up ten days ago in a trade with Nanaimo, also set a record on Friday night. His nine point effort, including five goals and four assists, is the most ever by a Storm player in a single game. It was also

‘Teddy Bear Toss Night’ and it didn’t take long for Storm fans to let the fur fly. Defenceman Trent Johnson scored just 39 seconds into the game and Campbell River fans responded enthusiasti-cally, littering the ice with 169 stuffed animals.

Robert John HandysideFeb 22, 1950 – December 13, 2011

Forever Missed Always Remembered“Papa Bob”

We will forever miss your footsteps, as they settled on the floor.The camouflage fleece jackets that we know that you adored.A heart as big as Nootka, so generous and deep,The way your boat and tackle, were anything but neat.

You loved, you lived, you learned, mistakes you made a few.But your life was lived by no-one; it was always lived by you.Your lust for life was echoed in everything you did,In every family moment, and in every business bid.

Now, your lazy boy sits empty, the “nucks” don’t hear your calls,But we remember life beside you, standing firm and standing tall.A father, friend, and grandpa, the memory passed on.Forever in our hearts from darkest dusk, to morning dawn

Written by: Cindy Handyside

We’re missing you a little more each time we hear your name,We’ve cried so many tears, yet are heart’s broken just the same.We miss our times together, things in common we could shareBut nothing fills the emptiness now that you’re no longer here.We have so many precious memories to last our whole life through.Each of them reminders of how much we are missing you.

Always in our thought,Forever in our hearts.

We thought of you With love today.

But that is nothing new.We thought about you yesterday. And days before that too.We think of you in silence. We often speak your name.

Now all we have arememories.

And your picture in a frame.

Crystal Mae SmithDecember 10th 2013

Your memory is our keepsake. With which we’ll never part.God has you in his keeping.We have you in our hearts.You now walk the heavens,

Hand in loving hand with yourSweetheart and soulmate , Papa.

– Forever, your loving family
