We all remember the record dry summer we had with no snow melt, Vancouver Island rivers so low they were closed to angling in order to protect fish stocks, Island communi-ties so dry they instigated high level water restrictions, and water in the Upper Campbell Reservoir so low it dipped to below the lip of the Strath-cona Dam intake.

All of it symptomatic of a bona fide drought. Right?

Well, maybe not. In the end, BC Hydro’s water supply year – running from October to September – for

Record summer drought means record dry year, right? – Wrong

Classrooms get a boost

School District 72 has approved the purchase of $50,000 worth of new classroom furniture.

“Through the years of declining enrolment, we’ve had a very resourceful maintenance staff that have been able to basically use parts and pieces to keep our

classroom furniture inventory going,” Kevin Patrick, secretary treasurer of the school district told the board last week. “We are at the end of that. The cupboards

are bare. The impact is showing in classrooms in terms of the condition of the furniture that’s being maintained.”

Patrick told the board they have a small amount set aside for this purpose, but because of the years of not having those funds available and relying on staff to just piece things back together as best they

could, “it’s not enough to have a meaningful impact.”

He says the amount of money in the budget for furniture would be just enough to maintain it but it has deteriorated too much. Once they replace the furniture, the previously budgeted amount will be enough to maintain it.

How could that be? Because the record dry summer made us forget

about the wet winter.You can thank the

storms from October 2014 to March 2015, according to BC Hydro’s John Hart Generating Station Replacement Project October news-letter for the better than averge water year. That’s

when most of the water in the system came in the form of rainstorms.

“The past 12 months were a tale of two extremes that, com-bined, resulted in nearly average water year,” the newsletter reports.

The graph above shows

the past 12 water months with the red lines being average and blue being actual.

Halloween at the museumThe Museum at Campbell River was a popular place with many kids in costumes on Saturday afternoon. There was face painting and crafts and the museum scenes were dressed up in Halloween themes like (clockwise from bottom left) the old logging truck which saw a scarecrow chauffeuring a ghostly prin-cess; the bunkhouse haunted by ghosts; and the witch that had taken up residence in the pioneer cabin. Then there was Capt. George Vancouver lurking in the exhibits...

A Strathcona Regional District director is “confident” he will be reinstated to the forestry board he was told he is no longer welcome on.

Area A Director Gerald Whalley said Wednesday that Western For-est Products has requested a meet-ing between Whalley, regional dis-trict staff and top executives at the forestry company.

“I’m looking forward to resolv-ing this issue,” Whalley said. “I’m confident I will be back on the board.”

The board Whalley is referring to is the Mid Island Forestry Lands Advisory Group (MIFLAG) which advises Western Forest Products on sustainable forest management.

At its last meeting, on Sept. 22, Whalley was told to leave meeting – which was held at the Menzies forestry office – and to not come back.

Whalley said he angered the for-esters by appealing Western’s clean audit following a vote at a previ-ous meeting, on July 28, related to Western Forest Products’ applica-tion of herbicides in the Sayward Valley. Whalley said a motion to allow Western to increase its allowable use of herbicides by three times was declared carried following a vote of six in favour and four opposed.

Whalley contests that it should have failed according to MIFLAG’s terms of reference which states

that, “decisions which must be made by MIFLAG are done by consensus building techniques where consensus is deemed to be ‘no strong opposition.’”

Whalley said the group’s actions caused him to question the audit at the Sept. 22 meeting and the foresters grew angry and told him to leave. Following that meeting, Jeff Ternan, operations manager for Western, wrote to the Strath-cona Regional District relaying that “in light of recent events, Gerald Whalley is no longer wel-come to participate in, or attend any further MIFLAG meetings or functions.”

MIFLAG then scheduled a spe-cial meeting for Tuesday, Oct. 27. Whalley said Wednesday that the meeting was cancelled once MIFLAG was notified that the regional district would be sending Whalley to the meeting as well as Cortes Director Noba Anderson in the event Whalley was escorted off the premises.

The day prior to the scheduled meeting, Whalley said Western Forest Products wrote the letter to regional district Chair Jim Abram, requesting the meeting between Whalley, and staff at the regional district and Western Forest Prod-ucts.

Amy Spencer, director of com-munications and government relations with Western Forest Products, told the Mirror last Monday that Western is commit-ted to resolving the issue.

“We are looking into this issue

to determine that due process was followed by all parties involved,” Spencer said. “We are confident that we will find a mutually agree-able outcome to this situation.”

Whalley said he believes the fact the regional district stood its ground and rallied behind him has something to do with the MIFLAG meeting being cancelled.

Abram wrote a letter to MIFLAG following Whalley’s dismissal from the advisory group’s meet-ing taking the foresters to task for their actions.

“I have never encountered any company that has dismissed a member appointed by another agency, solely due to the fact that they disagree with the company’s views on silviculture,” Abrams wrote. “Advisory groups are put in place to give advice. You can take that advice or not, but dis-missal of an appointee because of that advice is totally inappropriate. Every member of MIFLAG must be free to discuss and to vote as they wish on these issues without hostility or intimidations.”

Whalley has been appointed in each of the last seven years as the Strathcona Regional District’s representative on the MIFLAG committee. Appointments come up each December and as the mid-island forest operations lie within Area A, Whalley has been the logical choice.

Whalley also ran the silviculture program with both MacMillan Bloedel and Weyerhaeuser for-estry companies.

Whalley hopes to retain spot on MIFLAG

A mountain bike skills park has jumped one

hurdle closer to reality after city council gave its support for the facility Monday night.

Council approved a referral process that will assess the development of such a facility at Wil-low Point Park, between Alder Street and the Sportsplex skateboard park.

If there are no con-cerns identified during the process, the city will prepare a Licence of Occupation Agreement to allow the Bike Park Society use of the city land.

The society intends to build a park for begin-ner and intermediate riders with dirt jumps, practice trails, some obstacles, teeter-totters and wooden features such as bridges.

The society presented its proposal to the pub-lic during a consultation session Sept. 24 at the Sportsplex.

Beth Pechter, one of two co-founders of the bike park society, told council at its Monday night meeting that sup-port for the park was high.

“Twenty individuals supported the proj-ect and the location. They were thrilled with having a bike park in their community and they were really, really excited and supported us overall,” Pechter said. “Two individuals ini-tially had concerns with noise but after receiving all of the information were satisfied with the plan.”

Pechter said the park will only be open dur-ing daylight hours, the facility will not be lit, and will not have any speakers.

Plans also call for bushes and split cedar fencing to act as a bar-rier between the skills park and Alder Street.

While the majority of council supported the location, Coun. Larry Samson was the lone

councillor to oppose the Sportsplex site.

“I don’t believe this is the right spot,” Samson said. “I have supported the mountain bike skills park but I believe this area is too tight.

“Unless we can chal-lenge the bikers, they’re soon going to get tired going over the six tracks, just going back and forth, so I think, rather than doing a project on a small scale, I think we should do something bigger.

There’s properties like the McPhedran Road property the School District has, there’s the Holm Road reservoir next to the Couverdon property,” Samson added. “I think there’s other properties better suited to put in a much higher class bike park.”

Coun. Marlene Wright said while she supported the bike park, she had the same concerns as Samson.

“I feel it’s really restricted,” Wright said. “If it’s too small and too restricted in the location, then we don’t really look to a success-ful future because we’ll be be looking for some-thing more very shortly.”

Mayor Andy Adams said while he too was at first skeptical of the site, he changed his mind after learning the park is focused on the training aspect, to have a hands-on facility to complement the bike park society’s SprocKids classroom program.

“This is more of a training facility to pro-vide mountain biking youth and adults in our community with the skills before put-ting them out in the bush and ending up in emerge,” said Adams who noted that there are more advanced trails readily available in the Snowden Demonstra-tion Forest.

Coun. Ron Kerr urged council to support the park and the members of the society who have been working to bring the facility to the com-munity since 2011.

“This group has jumped through every hoop so far, jumped every hill, done every-thing they needed to do, over and over again,” Kerr said. “We previ-ously approved this, this support for them, and I can’t see pulling it out from under them at this point.”

Council did, in fact, approve developing a mountain bike facil-ity on a 3.2 acre site adjacent to the Beaver Lodge Lands on Dog-wood Street in June of

2014. Things fell apart, however, after com-plaints from neighbours near the proposed site and the discovery that the land was not owned by the city.

Not to be deterred, the society came back to council with a new loca-tion in August, prior to the public consultation session.

Wendy Ravai, the other co-founder of the skills park society, told council Aug. 24 that the Sportsplex is the ideal location because there are already washrooms, parking and garbage cans on site, it’s central to the community, and it works with other activities offered at the Sportsplex.

The location now has to make it through the city’s review process, which means the con-cept will be referred to the city’s parks and recreation, utilities, and roads departments as well as external agencies such as BC Hydro, For-tis, and Shaw.

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.That’s an expression worth remembering now —

and as we get closer to the busy shopping season, a time when what we might receive at Christmas starts to cloud our minds. In fact, it’s something everyone, of any age, should have etched into their brains, as incidents of fraud and scams press on, seemingly unabated.

That may sound a tad harsh or pessimistic.It should be a good thing if someone steps up and

wants to hand over thousands of dollars — or a bridge — for seemingly no reason. Or at least for no reason a person would reasonably expect to have anything to do with them. Unfortunately, windfalls like that are usually pipe dreams.

Whether it’s greed, a simple feeling of not wanting to upset people or for some other reason, folks fall

for scams all the time. And so, the scammers keep calling, emailing and writing, hoping for a response — just enough to encourage the behav-iour.

And once a person and their money are parted, it’s exceedingly difficult for the authorities to get it back.

Yet, police and financial institutions fight hard to try to prevent scams and the people who run them from taking advantage of people. Even so, we cannot rely on them. Individuals must be on guard — for the day will come when someone will try to weasel our hard-earned cash from our pockets.

When that happens, and the whole thing makes you curious or uncomfortable, just ask questions. Ask them who they are. Ask for their phone number. Ask for their boss. And then ask to phone them back.

And if you are still not feeling good about it, just hang up. It’s the equivalent of walking away from pan-handlers on the street.

Police continually tell us the best way to find out if something is a scam or not, is to call the agency purported to be offering the windfall. Contact them directly and ask if the offer is on the up and up.

Most times, if it’s a bank or Canada Revenue Agency, they’ll tell you it’s a scam and you should ignore it.

There are people out there who want to separate us from our money for nasty reasons. It’s up to us to know the difference between them and the legiti-mately good people out there. Sometimes, all it takes to be sure is to ask.

-Black Press

Just ask, to avoid scams

We say: Enough will never be enough for the province’s taxman

Halloween is not about anythingAnother Halloween and

another opportunity to concoct evil potions, worship devils and take my broom out for a spin.

What? You’re saying men can’t fly witches’ brooms?

That’s sexist!And, oh yes, another oppor-

tunity for some person of some persuasion to fly off the handle about the inappropriateness of celebrating Halloween.

Man, I wish people could just get off their high horse and put their feet back on the ground (Are there any more clichés I can jam in here? Send me an email, I’m starting a collection).

Yep, each year it seems there’s more and more people who’ve got to clamour on about how Halloween is (say this in a nasal, whiny voice...) “really about satanism and occult wor-ship.”

Well, no. It’s not. When you research the origins of Hallow-een, you quickly learn that...they don’t know WHAT Hal-loween’s all about.

Oh, it has some connec-

tion with the “other side” and maybe there’s something about the spirits of the dead.

And isn’t there something about celebrating the harvest or the coming to an end of the agricultural year or something or other?

Ooh! Ooh! I know. I know. It’s about the end of Daylight Saving Time.

Oh, no, sorry that’s just a mod-ern thing.

But, hey, that’s what it could be! Let’s make it about the end of Daylight Saving Time!

And let’s use more excla-mation marks to show we’re REALLY SERIOUS!

See what I did there? I added emphasis with all caps. Did it sound like, in your mind, like I was shouting there? Cool, huh? I was inside your brain.

Umm, it’s kinda echo-y and empty in here. Hey, is that an independent thought stagger-ing around in the dark corners there like an extra in The Walk-ing Dead? Let that puppy out!

No. In fact, LET ME OUT!

Okay, let’s get back on track here.

As the dark-ness increases, we have to – for some reason – move our clock back because, you know, it’s not dark enough in the morning in November, so let’s move our wake

up time even further back into the lingering night so that we can get a bit more daylight at the end of the day. Or...some-thing?

Okay, so maybe the end of Daylight Saving Time is not worthy of a great celebration like Halloween.

The good thing about Hal-loween is that it’s not really about anything and no one credo can claim it as their own and therefore dictate how we’re supposed to mark the occasion.

We can do whatever we want with it.

If somebody wants to dress up as Peter Mansbridge – talk about scary – then let him (somebody I know actually did that). If you wanna be a witch. Then you be one.

Its not about satanism or devil worship. If you’re doing that kind of thing then go away.

It’s just about a crazy vague sort of celebration that could have roots in the depths of our culture or it might have some-thing to do with remember-ing our dearly departed family members, friends, and people in our community, some of them saints. Fine.

There’s room for everybody in Halloween.

Now, where did I put my broom?

I have chores to do.

On Tuesday, Vancou-ver Island’s Mount Wash-ington Ski Resort, Ltd. (MWSR) announced the sale of all of the ski and recreational operations of the resort to a sub-sidiary of Pacific Group Resorts, Inc. (PGRI), a multi resort holding company headquartered in Park City, Utah.

The sale also includes most of the development land near and around the base of the resort. The current ownership group will retain two prime development parcels.

“Over the past 25 years, George Stuart and his ownership group have invested a tremen-dous amount of money and energy into Mount Washington,” noted Peter Gibson, president and general manager of Mount Washington Alpine Resort. “We are indebted to them for what they have helped us build here. Now it’s their time to retire from the ski business, and we’re pretty pleased with the group they have chosen

to sell to.”Mount Washington

will be the fourth resort in Pacific Group Resort’s current portfolio. Gib-son commented, “We are looking forward to working with PGRI to take Mount Washing-ton to the next level with improvements like snowmaking where they have a strong back-ground.” PGRI’s other resorts are in the eastern U.S. and have virtually

100 per cent snowmak-ing coverage.

Pacific Group Resort’s president of resort invest-ments, Mark Fischer, explained, “We’ve been working with George Stuart and Darryl Eddy for a couple years now on the transition of the resort to new ownership. It finally worked out that this was the right time, and we are very excited to have the opportunity to add Mount Washing-ton to our portfolio.”

Fischer added, “We are very happy to be work-ing with Peter (Gibson) and his management

group. They are indus-try pros, and we’re proud to have them join our team.” Fischer said he expected the staff and daily ops would remain largely unchanged from previous years.

“We’ve been working on this transition for a number of years now,” added Gibson. “And, in addition to our own internal efforts, we owe a bit of thanks to some government staffers who helped us sort through permits and processes for the transfer. Truth-fully, they’ve been great to work with.”

TERRY FARRELL/ EARLE COUPER

COMOX VALLEY RECORD

The Marine Harvest Upper Island Riptide

soccer association has severed ties with a goalie in its U-15 girls’ soccer program, after a dispute regarding spon-sorship spiralled out of control.

Goalkeeper Freyja Reed, and her mother, Anissa, are both oppo-nents of fish farming and upon hearing of the soccer association’s sponsorship deal with Campbell River-based Marine Harvest, Anissa sent an email to the Upper Island Riptide, insisting that her daugh-ter would not wear the Marine Harvest logo and asking for details of the sponsorship deal.

The Riptide replied four days later, outlin-ing the sponsorship deal, and offering a full refund of Freyja’s regis-tration money.

Rather than take the offer, the Reeds agreed to discuss the impasse with the association, at which time both sides agreed to a set of rules.

Compromise agreed upon by both sides

The Reeds agreed to stop the deroga-tory comments made towards Marine Har-vest on the sidelines at Riptide games, as well as cease all derogatory comments made regard-ing the Riptide/Marine Harvest relationship online.

In return, the Rip-tide agreed to allow Freyja to continue and she would not have to wear any Riptide gear displaying Marine Harvest on it for the 2015-2016 season. The Riptide also acknowl-edged that Freyja had not consented to the Riptide media release and as such, would not be used in any future press releases (i.e. game recaps, photos, etc.).

The Riptide also agreed that neither Freyja nor Anissa would be asked to participate in any Riptide fundrais-ers that involve Marine Harvest.

The agreement was adhered to by both sides, until the Reeds broke their silence in a national media inter-

view published Oct. 23, claiming that they had been “muzzled”.

From there the situa-tion snowballed to the point where the Riptide soccer association sus-pended all activity with the girls’ U-15 program, citing concern for the safety of the players.

On Thursday, Oct. 29, the Reeds were informed that Freyja had been dismissed from the team.

Later that day, Freyja received a $2,000 dona-tion from local fisher-men to help her con-tinue her training.

Anissa spoke at the donation presentation, saying the split from the team was not by mutual agreement.

“My belief is that the association doesn’t have a choice right now. I think (Marine Harvest) is buying social licence. Because we’re opposed to that they just couldn’t have my daughter in the association, like part of the Riptide family.”

Sean Arbour, the chair of the Upper Island Rip-tide Steering Commit-tee, said he feels badly for the young athlete.

“In my mind, the

real victim here is Freyja herself, and only because of the pressures of Marine Harvest in her life, the pressures her mother put on her in her life, and I just see this kid struggle with it,” he said.

“In one sentence she will say ‘This is an amazing program’ and then she has to stop [and think] ‘Oh yeah, I can’t say that.’

“You know what I mean? It is a very, very unfortunate situation for everybody. There have been no winners.”

The parting of ways became almost a cer-tainty after a meeting called on Tuesday, Oct. 27 to try and resolve the issue degenerated into parents dropping the F-bomb on her daugh-

ter, Anissa said.While saying she cares

about the people she was on the team with, Freyja added there was “definitely very little support at the meeting that was supposed to be to find a solution.

“When we tried to speak they wanted to put a time limit on what we had to say because (they said) it was for them.

“It felt like they wanted everyone to hate us. It was real difficult to be there and try to talk when you’re just being shut down.”

Sponsor claims they were unaware

Ian Roberts, direc-tor of public affairs at Marine Harvest Canada, says his company was completely unaware of the entire ordeal until contacted by a CBC reporter.

“The only thing I ever heard was that I got a call from the club saying that there was a parent that doesn’t appreci-ate our sponsorship and that (the club) had offered her her money back,” said Roberts. “They said ‘she hasn’t taken that offer so hope-fully we can work out a compromise.’

“So I said that was great and preferably everyone can get along.

Next thing I heard was from CBC National, saying that … a player was being muzzled and was Marine Harvest doing the muzzling.

“I was shocked.”Arbour said his only

motive behind attain-ing Marine Harvest as a corporate sponsor was for the benefit and ongoing progression of the soccer club.

“Hindsight is 20/20, but to be honest, if I had the chance to do this all over again, I would,” said Arbour.

“You may have an opinion, but there is nothing illegal for us to do what we did, and it’s not illegal for them to do what they did.”

Arbour said to date, the team has not had to forfeit any games. The weekend’s games against Nanaimo were post-poned.

He is hopeful that the team will resume play this week.

“Our plan is to have the team up and run-ning again next week, but … they have threat-ened to now protest all our games,” he said on Friday.

“So if our players and our parents feel that they are being put in a bad spot, we will have to do whatever we can to protect that.

“At the end of the day, it’s all about the kids.”

May Ling Kwok will be in Campbell River for a Sunday afternoon con-cert this weekend at 2:30 p.m. at Trinity Presbyte-rian Church.

The concert should appeal to all music lov-ers as she will be playing works by Mozart, Ravel and Liszt and will be playing the Schumann Carnaval as well.

L i n g Kw o k h a s brought her exqui-site performances to Campbell River in the past and music lovers are looking forward to hearing her again.

Ling Kwok is a faculty member of the Victoria Conservatory and the University of Victoria, and has performed in recitals and played with orchestras such as the Moscow Philharmonic, Czech Philharmonic, Slovakia Symphony, Montreal Symphony, and Victoria Symphony.

She has adjudicated and given master classes in North America, Europe, China, South East Asia, and Russia.

She has recorded Concertos by Mozart, B e e t h o v e n a n d Schumann, as well as the

“Spring” and “Kreutzer” Sonatas for piano and violin. Tickets can be purchased at the door,

T h e at re ve te r ans Judith McFarlane and Stan Leete are excited to be part of the Shoreline Musical Theatre team bringing Hello, Dolly! to the Tidemark Theatre.

McFarlane will be playing the title role of matchmaker, Dolly Levi.

Dolly has been hired to find a wife for cranky mil l ionaire, Horace Vandergelder (Leete). She doesn’t stop there, though, and is happy to meddle in the relation-ships of a number of other characters, result-ing in lots of laughs and general mayhem.

Hello, Dolly! is the musical version of the Thornton Wilder play, The Matchmaker.

Both McFarlane and Leete bring considerable experience to the stage.

McFarlane has been acting since her high school days, and has been in most of Shore-l ine’s pro duc t ions , including its first – “Oklahoma!”.

“I’d been on hiatus for a few years,” said McFar-lane. “I’d wanted to give it a go, but I was too busy. Then Oklahoma! came up and I just decided to go for it!”

She got a part in the chorus – one of the Ladies without Frills.

When asked what her favourite production

was, she said, “always the one I’m in at the time!” Although, she did say that she had a lot of fun doing Shoreline’s production of Pirates of Penzance – one of the reasons was that her daughter was in the same production.

McFarlane is enjoying the challenge of bringing Dolly to life.

“It’s a big role,” she said, “with a lot of sing-ing and movement. I’m loving it – I love the music and the show.”

Leete has been cast as Horace Vandergelder. He also has a long asso-ciation with the theatre,

starting as a tap dancer at the age of eight. His first play was a school production of 1066 and All That, and he also acted in plays through school and university. This is his fifth pro-duction with Shoreline, including Oliver! where he was also partnered with McFarlane (the duo played a memorable Mr. and Mrs. Bumble).

His two favourite per-formances were in The Mikado in London, and Pirates of Penzance in Campbell River, which was his first perfor-mance with Shoreline.

Leete is enjoying the

part of Horace, particu-larly the singing and the camaraderie with the rest of the cast.

“I’ve always enjoyed working with Judith,” he said, “as well as John Montgomery (orchestra director) and Heather Gordon-Murphy (artis-tic director and chore-ographer).”

Shows are Thursday, Nov. 19 at 7:30 p.m., Fri-day, Nov. 20 at 7:30 p.m., and Saturday, Nov.21 at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Tick-ets are $27 plus appli-cable Tidemark fees and can be purchased online at tidemarktheatre.com or by calling 287-PINK.

“The Psychiatrist”Dinner Theatre

It’s tempting to describe the chorus of Brett Kis-sel’s latest smash single, Airwaves, as what’s got-ten him to this point, but that barely scratches the surface of the artistic growth Kissel displays on his new album, Pick Me Up. The pride of Flat Lake, Alberta has already reached a place very few other Canadian coun-try music artists have attained, but defying the odds has been Kissel’s mission his entire life, the result of a tireless work ethic instilled while growing up on his fam-ily’s farm. Following the incredible success of his 2013 major label debut, Started With A Song, Pick

Me Up shows that Kissel is hitting his stride.

For the new album, Kissel once again teamed up with CCMA Award-winner Bart McKay, as well as one of country music’s premier produc-ers Mickey Jack Cones (Jason Aldean, Trace Adkins). The common thread was not an attempt to replicate the success of its predecessor, but to have the results reflect Kissel’s unstoppable drive to make his music bigger and better.

“There’s no other place I prefer to be than on stage,” Kissel says. “With all of the shows we did for the last album, we were totally prepared as a

band when we went into the studio to cut the new material, and determined to exceed the fans’ expec-tations. Looking back, I might have been prepar-ing for it even while we were finishing the last album, knowing that the next one needed to have more energy.”

It’s clear that rationale was behind the choice of Airwaves to be Pick Me Up’s first single, as the song established itself as a fan favourite after only a few live outings. Building on that kind of feedback from his audience has always been important to Kissel, and he takes a lot of pride in being one of the most active Canadian country artists on social media. It’s all fuelled his efforts to expand and enhance his live show, something that kicked into high gear once he hit the road in the fall of 2014 as special guest on multiple Grammy & CMA award winner Brad Paisley’s cross-Canada tour.

Pick Me Up displays how far Kissel has come as a singer and song-writer, most evident on tracks such as I Didn’t Fall In Love With Your Hair, a tribute to his mother, a multiple can-cer survivor, as well as I Can Play Guitar, contain-ing playful insights of life on the Brad Paisley tour, and Come Pick Me Up, a poignant rumination on a failed relationship.

Kissel, with special guest Jordan McIntosh, will be at the Tidemark Theatre on Nov.14. Tickets are $38.50 for members and $43.25 for nnon members (plus applicable taxes & fees) and can be purchased at the Box Office on Tues-day or Friday between 12 p.m. and 4 p.m. Tickets are also available online at www.tidemarktheatre.com

Remembrance Day can mean many differ-ent things to people. For Island Voices Chamber Choir, under the direc-tion of Jenn Forsland, it is a chance, once again, to present a concert of thoughtful music and emotional read-ings honouring those affected by war.

This concert will also feature the Campbell River Children’s Choir under the direction of Barbara Prowse.

Throughout the con-cert, local actors will read from personal and family accounts of war collected from the community. Conductor Forsland has chosen a wide variety of moving repertoire to guide a thoughtful reflection of the realities of war.

All That They Had They Gave was written to honour those who fought in World War I, with the text pulled from Rudyard Kipling’s “The King’s Pilgrim-age”(1922).

The audience will hear a gorgeous setting by Eleanor Daley of the familiar In Flanders

Fields as well as Home-ward Bound by Martha Keen, an anthem for soldiers returning home from war.

A text from Mother Theresa is exquisitely rendered in Prayer by Rene Clausen. A Cuban sacred chant, a Spanish blessing, How Lovely are the Mes-sengers composed by Felix Mendelssohn, and Graeme Langager’s prize winning interpretation

of Gaudium Vestru Sit Plenum will be sure to stir the emotions.

The Campbell River Children’s choir River choir and the smaller Zephyr choir will sing After the War, a touch-ing love song, by Paul Gross and David Keele which was featured in the film ‘Passchen-daele’, Alleluia Incanta-tion by Andrew Miller, and Epitaph composed by Malcolm Dalglish

with poetry by Wendell Berry.

The Zephyr choir and Island Voicestogether will sing the familiar Irish Blessing, arranged by Katie Moran Bart.

The Campbell River Concert is at 7 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 11 at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church, 34 South Alder Street. Entrance is by donation.

Billy Proctor, resident legend of Echo Bay, BC, recounts almost a

century’s worth of experience with this collection of stories, memories

and local knowledge of the central BC coast region around Blackfish

Sound. Situated in the beautiful Broughton Archipelago between northern

Vancouver Island and the mainland coast, this region boasts a history and culture

as engaging as its stunning locale—and nobody tells its story quite like Proctor.

A lifelong fisherman, trapper, logger and, in later life, author, Proctor learned

from both the indigenous people and the settlers who came to live in Blackfish

Sound. Along with his entertaining tales of the surrounding communities,

Proctor also discusses the ingenious technology necessary to both fishing and

everyday survival. Covering the natural and domestic history of the area and

everything in between—from recollections of old-time fishermen to Billy’s own

stories of sasquatches and other strange things—Tide Rips & Back Eddies is a

riveting and deeply moving account of a long and uniquely coastal life.

Writing collaborator Yvonne Maximchuk illustrates Proctor’s personal

anecdotes as well as carefully detailing an eclectic array of interesting items

collected by Proctor throughout his lifetime for his personal museum. Tide Rips

& Back Eddies is not only a historical archive of immeasurable significance, it is

a fascinating read for those interested in the Blackfish Sound region as well as an

honest and whimsical look into the life and lessons learned by a local legend.

Bill Proctor has been a resident of the Central

Coast for 80 years. For the past 35 years, he

has run Billy’s Museum, a public collection of

historical items he has found and collected,

located in Echo Bay, BC. Proctor is the co-author

of Full Moon, Flood Tide (Harbour Publishing,

2003), with Yvonne Maximchuk.

A Pictorial History of Courtenay and District

Including Comox, Cumberland, Forbidden Plateau, Goose Spit, Merville, Royston and Union Bay

Christine Dickinson, Deborah Griffiths,

Judy Hagen and Catherine Siba

The Comox Valley on Vancouver

Island is home to a spectacular

watershed, the culmination of snowcap

and glacier-fed rivers that flow into the

Courtenay River and out onto one of

the richest estuaries on the West Coast.

Along with the long history of K’ómoks

First Nation inhabitation, the commun-

ity of Courtenay and surrounding regions

has been shaped by settlers from a variety

of cultures and nations. The watershed

geography encapsulates these groups’

diverse relationships with the region,

in industries such as fishing, logging

and canning, and in their traditions and

everyday lives.

In Watershed Moments, the Courtenay

and District Museum opens its vast collec-

tion of historical photographs. Spanning

from the late 1800s to the 1950s, here are

scenes of K’ómoks village life, boating

parties, family celebrations, agricultural

events and economic activities. Alongside

these captivating images, local authors

Dickinson, Griffiths, Hagen and Siba

write of ancient fish weirs, bride ships and

gentlemen adventurers, back-breaking

work and astounding beauty, tracing the

complex development of a diverse and

ever-changing community.

Tucker, Charlie (Carol)February 15, 1944 – October 23, 2015

It is with great sadness the family announces the passing of a woman who inspired so many and lived her life to the fullest, Charlie (Carol) Tucker. Charlie passed suddenly October 23, 2015 at home, at the age of 71 and her passing has left a vast emptiness in our lives.Predeceased by her mother Edith E. Hampton, she is survived by her husband of 53 years, Robert; son Robert, son Matthew, (Michelle), grandsons Mark and Paul, daughter Shannon (Phillip), granddaughter Danielle, great-grandchildren Dexter and Evelyn, and granddaughter Roanne.Charlie was born in England and immigrated to Canada with her mother when she was 4. She grew up in Toronto, where she met and married Bob (Robert Tucker). She followed the love of her life as he served in the military for 28 years. Over that time she made many friends that to this day remember her kindness and her giving heart. She had too many jobs to list, she was an inspiration and she was never one to shy away from a challenging job. Charlie and Bob settled in Port Hardy when Bob retired; the town a place they never wished to leave. She was a member of the Royal Canadian Legion there, and many will attest to the wonderful meals she prepared. She also helped with the Canadian Cancer society. Her tradition of handing out Christmooses at Christmas will be missed.A Celebration of Life will be held the 14th of November, 2015, from 1:00pm until 4:00pm at the Royal Canadian Legion, 4965 Beaver Harbour Rd, Port Hardy, British Columbia.

memory, please make a donation in memory of Charlie to the Canadian Heart and Stroke Foundation or the Canadian Cancer Society.The family passes on a huge thank you for the kindness, compassion and professionalism showed to them at a very sad time by the Port Hardy RCMP detachment, BC Ambulance Services and Port Hardy Volunteer Fire and Rescue.

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of our Dear Mother “Winnie”, as she was affectionately known by friends and family. She was born on February 20, 1925 to Albert and Lucy “Edith” Fulton in the community of Lund, just outside of Powell River, B.C., but spent most of her life on Vancouver Island, the majority of it in Campbell River.She was known as a faithful, caring, and generous wife, mother,

grandmother and great-grandmother, who loved her family dearly, and did so much throughout her life in the service of others. Because of the wonderful Christian example she set in so many ways, she was dearly loved in return by her family and all of the many friends and acquaintances she made throughout her 90 years of life. She will be sorely missed by all who had the privilege to know her.In total, Winnie was blessed with 6 children, 14 grandchildren, and 20 great-grandchildren.Winnie was predeceased by her first husband Sydney Ashdown, her second husband Ben Reavill, her first daughter Laura and her sons-in-law Melvin Hamilton, Clayden Parks, and Vic Loffler. She leaves behind her remaining three daughters Lana, (Mandry) Hudema, Linda Lee (Loffler), and Lorna (Parks), also her son and daughter-in-law, Roy and Anna Ashdown, her son David Ashdown and her grandchildren and great-grand children.Her family would like to thank the homecare nursing team members who came to help with her care when she was still living at home, and also the dedicated and caring management and staff of Evergreen Seniors Home, who cared for Mom in her final months.A Memorial Service will be held at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses, 1935 Evergreen Road, Campbell River, at 2:00 p.m., Saturday, November 7th, 2015, followed by light refreshments served at the same location. All who knew and loved Winnie are invited to join her family for this occasion.

October 1st, 2015

Walter passed away peacefully at Evergreen Seniors Home in Campbell River.

There was no service as per his wishes. We are having a friends and family tea on

Sunday, Nov 8th from 2pm – 4pm at 639 Alder St.

Howard passed away peacefully on October 17, 2015 at the Campbell River Hospital after a brave battle with cancer. Taken away from us too soon, he would have been 70 years old in January 2016. Left to mourn are his wife Elizabeth, son Stewart (Emily), daughter Cynthia, sisters Stephanie (John), Carol (Ben), Nancy (Russ), Senga (Larry), nephews, nieces and in-laws.Born in Salisbury England, he spent his early childhood cared for by nannies and playing occasionally around the stones of Stonehenge. At age 6 he came with his family to Canada, spending a brief time on a farm in Saskatchewan and then spent many years in Telkwa, near Smithers, BC. At the age of 19 he went to UBC to procure a B.Sc. in Physics and held summer jobs in mining exploration. It was at UBC that he met his wife, Elizabeth, whom he married shortly thereafter.He subsequently worked as a junior engineer at the pulp mill in Prince Rupert, then began his teaching career. He taught for many years in Port Hardy and Campbell River – mainly math, science, computer science, drafting, woodwork and metalwork. He later obtained a M.Ed. in Administration. Retirement found many joys including building a large workshop, travelling, hiking the great outdoors, and walking his dog Jake. He loved mechanics, construction, discussions, and was friendly to everyone.The family would like to thank Father Jan Grotkowski, and Dr. Gunther Klein and all medical personnel involved in his care. In lieu of flowers please consider donating blood. A Funeral Mass will be held at St. Patrick’s Parish on November 6, 2015 at 12 noon with burial to follow at Elk Falls Cemetery.

The way many people choose to say goodbye is changing. More of the families we serve are asking us to provide a meaningful gathering where they can meet with friends to pay tribute, hear special music, perhaps show a video collage of the person’s life and share memories over refreshments. Our Funeral and Reception Centre is the perfect location, where our expertise ensures that everything will be taken care of. It doesn’t have to be either religious or formal – it can be exactly what you want! Times are changing and we’re here to make sure

of the person who has died and the family and friends who gather for closure.

Tucker, Charlie (Carol)February 15, 1944 – October 23, 2015

It is with great sadness the family announces the passing of a woman who inspired so many and lived her life to the fullest, Charlie (Carol) Tucker. Charlie passed suddenly October 23, 2015 at home, at the age of 71 and her passing has left a vast emptiness in our lives.Predeceased by her mother Edith E. Hampton, she is survived by her husband of 53 years, Robert; son Robert, son Matthew, (Michelle), grandsons Mark and Paul, daughter Shannon (Phillip), granddaughter Danielle, great-grandchildren Dexter and Evelyn, and granddaughter Roanne.Charlie was born in England and immigrated to Canada with her mother when she was 4. She grew up in Toronto, where she met and married Bob (Robert Tucker). She followed the love of her life as he served in the military for 28 years. Over that time she made many friends that to this day remember her kindness and her giving heart. She had too many jobs to list, she was an inspiration and she was never one to shy away from a challenging job. Charlie and Bob settled in Port Hardy when Bob retired; the town a place they never wished to leave. She was a member of the Royal Canadian Legion there, and many will attest to the wonderful meals she prepared. She also helped with the Canadian Cancer Society. Her tradition of handing out Christmooses at Christmas will be missed.A Celebration of Life will be held the 14th of November, 2015, from 1:00pm until 4:00pm at the Royal Canadian Legion, 4965 Beaver Harbour Rd, Port Hardy, British Columbia.In lieu of flowers for those wishing to honour Charlie’s memory, please make a donation in memory of Charlie to the Canadian Heart and Stroke Foundation or the Canadian Cancer Society.The family passes on a huge thank you for the kindness, compassion and professionalism showed to them at a very sad time by the Port Hardy RCMP detachment, BC Ambulance Services and Port Hardy Volunteer Fire and Rescue.

School District 72 Superintendent Tom Longridge and Secre-tary-Treasurer Kevin Patrick presented the Board of Trustees with a report last week which will spur an in-depth, critical look at the dis-trict’s facilities, likely followed by some tough, unpleasant decisions about school closures.

“This (report) came out of the strategic plan-ning process, and one of the key areas in the district in the plan was enhanced facilities for learning. We know that our facilities are closely related to how students perform in school and we want to look at always giving our students the best opportunities for learning,” said Longridge during the introduction to the Facility Review

report they were about to present.

The goal of the Facil-ity Review is, Longridge said, “to develop a long term strategy for our facilities, taking into account district chal-lenges and demograph-ics. We have to look at the reality of our build-ings and we’ve got to look at the population in our community and that our population has decreased significantly over the past number of years.”

The last facility review was performed in 2001, Patrick told the board, and since that review was completed, there have been a lot of changes within the district.

“There are new neigh-

bourhoods, there has been shifting and migra-tion of people from some school neighbourhoods to other neighbour-hoods, and there has been quite a significant decline in enrolment.”

Capital funding from the government, Patrick said, is contingent on the district making the best possible utilization of space, and, simply put, that’s not what is hap-pening now.

According to the report, 69 of the 175 classrooms in the dis-trict’s elementary and middle schools are sit-ting empty, meaning 39 per cent of the classroom area within the district is considered “surplus.”

Another part of the

report, the Facility Con-dition Assessment, pro-duced by an independent entity that reports to the Ministry of Education, shows that the facilities in the district are also aging and in poor condi-tion.

“Our maintenance crews will do their best to get out there and maintain our facilities, but it’s not just paint. It’s not just appearance,” Pat-rick said. “This goes into ‘how old is the mechani-cal system? When are we going to have to replace the boilers? When are we going to have to do the lights?’”

There are, in fact, many facilities in the district that would cost less to rebuild altogether than to continue to maintain, Patrick said.

“Whether the School District likes it or not, it’s something the Minis-try (of Education) looks at,” Patrick said.

“When you put in a request for funding, for major renovations, for capital, they will look at the condition of the facility – they don’t want to be investing in an electrical upgrade when the whole building needs to be replaced – as well as looking at empty

classrooms,” Patrick said. “If you’ve got two

schools with very empty classrooms, and you need to rebuild both, they likely will suggest to rebuild one.”

Essentially, the Minis-try of Education wants to maximize their return on investment, and right now, they’re likely not getting enough bang for their buck in School Dis-trict 72 in terms of capi-tal funding.

In the end, it was decided to perform an in-depth facilities review to try and establish the best course of action to address this issue.

“It comes down to this: We’re building for the future, and having lost a couple thousand stu-dents over the last ten years, to stand by idly and say, ‘maybe we’ll grow back…’ well, things can’t just keep going the way they are,” Trustee Daryl Hagen said after the presentation. “Hard decisions are going to have to be made,” but added that he wants to get as much input from as many people as pos-sible before those deci-sions are made.

Trustee John Kerr agreed.

“That surplus of space

costs us money to main-tain, and that money comes from an envelope that we receive from the Ministry of Educa-tion, and if that money is going to maintain old buildings and replace old systems, that money doesn’t go direct ly towards student learn-ing,” Kerr said. “When we look at decisions we’re going to have to make down the road about these facilities it all comes back to enhancing student learning, and if we’re robbing Peter to pay Paul to keep surplus facilities from falling down, that has an impact on student learning.”

“It’s not like this has caught us off guard,” Hagen added. “I mean, we have closed schools. Maple School, Ever-green School, Campbell-ton school. We’re always trying to do the best we can, and now we need to make some more deci-sions.”

“It’s time,” board chair Susan Wilson agreed.

The in-depth facil-ity plan is to be drawn up and presented at the next public meeting of the Board of Trustees on Nov. 17 at 7:30 at the SD72 office on Pinecrest Road.

Last Friday the annual Pump-kins for Polio

auction, organized by the Rotary Club of Campbell River, took place at the Campbell River Men’s Club.

The pumpkins were donated by Discovery Foods and Coastal Black Estate Winery and members of the Camp-bell River Arts Council painted/decorated 22 pumpkins. Three First Nations carvers – Junior Henderson, Mulidzas (Curtis) Wilson and William Henderson – provided their creations, and Coun. Ron Kerr provided his artwork.

The pumpkins were auctioned off by Kevin Simonett and the

attendees had a lot to choose from, which resulted in lively bid-ding.

At the end of the eve-ning, more than $1,800 was raised to support Rotary International’s efforts to End Polio Now.

The End Polio Now initiative is supported by the World Health Organization and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Besides the usual matching by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foun-dation, the auction proceeds will also be matched by the federal government, so effec-tively $9,000 will sup-port the vaccination of the children in Pakistan

and Afghanistan where Polio is still endemic. For more than a year, no polio cases have been registered in Nigeria.

To read more about the fight against Polio visit: http://www.endpo-lio.org/ .

To make a donation to the End Polio Now initiative, follow the instructions provided on the website - a tax receipt will be provided.

The KLP Construction Bantam A Tyees began their league play last week with a pair of home games at Strathcona Gar-dens.

T h e f i r s t l e ag u e game was a Halloween encounter against the Saanich Braves. Just seven minutes into the game Noah Fladager and Brendan Almer set up River Fahey to open the scoring for the Tyees. Less than a minute later, Logan Chapdelaine and Matthew Ubriaco earned helpers on an Owen Parker goal to double their advantage. The Tyees made it a 3 – 0 lead when Bryce Narhi and Jory Swanson assisted on a goal by Noah Fladager. The Braves were able to put their first, and only, puck past Campbell River goaltender Jayce Hudak half way through the second period of the game.

However, strong play from the Tyees coupled with two late second period goals by Cody Savey propelled the home team to a convinc-

ing 5-1 victory. The Tyees second

league game was a spir-ited affair against the Nanaimo Clippers.

Going into this game, Campbell River and Nanaimo had already faced one another during three exhibition games that had each team even at one win, one loss, and most recently, one tie. Competitive games and increasing familiarity over recent weeks had players and coaches from both squads sensing that a rivalry was beginning to heat up.

The teams’ fourth encounter last Sunday, resulted in a combined 55 minutes in penalties with many in attendance at Rod Brind’Amour Arena witnessing a rivalry reach its boil-ing point. The Clippers opened the scoring late in the first and then took a two goal lead just minutes into the second period.

Tyees forward Davis Frank got Campbell River on the board half way through the middle

stanza, and Almer let go a long wrist shot from the blue line that found the top corner of the

net to tie the game. Six minutes into the final period, the Clippers took their second lead,

but the lead switched hands again when the Tyees responded late in the game with goals by Fladager and Riley Billy respectively.

What turned out to be a thrilling game ended with some con-troversy when the Clip-pers appeared to score the tying goal on goalie Antoine Minfray in the final seconds of the game.

However, to the cha-grin of the Nanaimo fan base in attendance, the goal was disallowed due to an inadvertent whistle being blown by the ref-eree after he lost sight of the puck.

With the Tyees league play now at 2-0, the Tyees will practice hard this week before heading to the Interior to com-pete in a Penticton tour-nament this weekend.

What can the General Manager and Head Coach of the Camp-bell River Storm say following a 13-0 loss to Victoria at Rod Brind’Amour Arena on Friday? “Quite frankly, the word we look for is embarrassing”, said Lee Stone.

With just under two minutes played, on a tape to tape giveaway in the Storm end, Cougar Ryan Carson completed the intercep-tion and scored the first of his three goals.

That play would set the tone for the night; by the 5 minute mark, the home team found themselves down 5-0. Nathan Looysen and Taylor Leger would also notch hat-tricks while former Campbell River Minor Hockey player Dom Kolbeins would accumulate three assists placing him third in league scoring.

Missed passes, scrambly play, some soft goals and Campbell River was never in this one. The Cougars played their best game of the year, dominating from the opening faceoff despite having three key players sidelined with injuries including Campbell Riv-erite John Kretzschmar.

On a night where the Storm would be handed their worst loss in memory, there were very few positives save one. According to Storm Gov-ernor, Wes Roed, “The f a n s didn’t aban-don us when we ne e d e d them most”.

There were 9 7 6 i n attendance a n d t h e y stayed to the bitter end. Roed added, “Ask any player who has worn a Storm uniform in the past few seasons what’s the best part of playing here, and the unanimous answer is, the fans.”

Stone reiterated the governor’s comments following the game, “I think it was a real wake up call for our players to see that not only did every fan stay for the third period but they opened it with a ‘Go Storm Go’ cheer.”

Fan support has been strong again this year for the Red and Black, averaging just under 900 supporters per game, the best in

the VIJHL.When asked about the upcoming three game

weekend, with a game a g a i n s t

O c e a n s -ide and a home a n d

home with Pe n i n s u l a ,

the Storm Head Coach said, “We actually have three games against the Campbell River Storm and that’s what we said in the room after the game. We need to focus more about us and not about who we’re play-ing and how many points they have. We’ve got to show up and work hard”. He added, “We owe it to them (our fans) to make sure nights like tonight (Friday) don’t happen again.”

The Storm sit in second place in the North Division with 22 points (10W 5L 1T 1OTL), 4 points back of Nanaimo with 2 games in hand. The Comox Valley Glacier Kings are in third with 21 points.

The next home date at the Brindy is Sunday against the Pen-insula Panthers.

The Comox Valley and Campbell River waste management centres will no longer accept materials containing asbestos. The cost of disposal of drywall (gypsum) will increase to $225/tonne effective January 1, 2016 to cover recycling and transportation costs.

Drywall will now be classified 'recyclable’. Should loads of drywall arrive at the landfills mixed together, or mixed with regular municipal solid waste (MSW) or with construction and demolition waste, haulers will be charged the "MSW-mixed with recyclables" rate which is scheduled to increase on January 1, 2016 to $275/tonne.

Special note: The Campbell River and Comox Valley waste management centres will require the "Waste Disposal" application form to be completed and approved prior to the disposal of drywall to the landfill.

As pre-1990 drywall filling compound (mud) may contain asbestos, haulers will be required to provide analytical data or proof with their application to show that drywall is free from asbestos.
