As little Morgan Stewart-Webb grows up on Quadra Island he won’t have to look far for a hero.
That hero will be his dad, Noah Webb, 25, the volunteer fire fighter who saved Morgan’s life at the moment of birth.
In mid-August Morgan’s mom, Amanda, 28, went into labour three days early and gave birth in the couple’s backyard wading pool.
“We thought we had lots of time,” Noah says. They didn’t. Often babies take a few seconds to breath, but baby Morgan did not and when the midwife could
not find a pulse the 911 call was made. That’s when two and a half years of constant fire department training kicked in.
“I’ve done quite a bit of train-ing to do CPR, but I never thought I’d have to use it. I inserted an air-way and I continued to bag him,” Noah says.
With the baby not showing signs of life Noah says he “kind of fell apart and lost it because I knew at that point there was a slim chance he would be resuscitated.”
Noah’s fellow first responders arrived quickly and the baby, still not breathing, was rushed to the ferry. Mid-channel on the ferry trip to Campbell River Gen-eral Hospital the infant started
breathing. Noah said Morgan took a breath, then another and continued breathing sporadically on the way to hospital.
The infant was flown to Victo-ria General Hospital and is now back at home with no residual ill effects from his perilous start in life.
Noah says he is very thankful for the training he has received with the volunteer fire depart-ment. “I am grateful to be part of the organization and it was very comforting to know the crew who arrived to help.”
While it may not mean much to Morgan just yet, BC Ferries has honoured the baby with a free ferry pass for life.

A handful of local charities and non-profit groups are about to take a big financial hit.
City tax exemptions for six non-profits are on the verge of being revoked in order to adhere to rules laid out in the provin-cial Community Charter.
“This has been in the Commu-nity Charter for awhile,” said Natalie Aalderink, the city’s finance manager, at a council meeting Sept. 18. “We went and got the interpretation of it (and) we got clarification from the province.”
What that means is property tax exemptions can only be granted if a charitable, philan-thropic, or other not-for-profit owns the land it operates on.
Six local groups, which have in the past been given the tax exemption, do not fit the above criteria.
As a consequence, council gave first three readings last week to an amendment to the per missive tax exemption bylaw that will deny tax breaks to Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore, Total Change Minis-tries’ 88.7 Spirit FM Christian Music radio, Campbell River Family Services, Canadian Red Cross, Campbell River Seniors
Society, and River City Players. Council also denied issuing new tax exemptions to the Camp-bell River Dragon Boat Society, Opportunities Career Services Society, and the Strathcona Regional District.
Aalderink explained that because those organizations don’t own their own buildings, the tax break truly goes to the property owner.
Coun. Ryan Mennie argued that the non-profit does benefit.
“Would it also not be fair to say that without the exemp-tion...the owner has to recover those costs?” Mennie asked. “I’m assuming the owner would raise the rent to try and recover the costs of the tax exemption they’re not getting.”
Coun. Claire Moglove was concerned the city was pulling the rug out from under the soci-eties involved, which had not been notified prior to the coun-cil meeting.
“It’s going to be a significant hit to those particular groups,” Moglove said. “Is there...a grant-in-aid or something like that, where these groups would be able to apply for a grant similar in amount, so that they won’t be so negatively impacted?”
Aalderink replied that the groups could indeed apply for

grants with the city, in place of tax exemp-tions.
Coun. Andy Adams acknowledg ed the difficulty in turning down tax exemption requests.
“A very dif ficult report to bring for-ward,” Adams said. “It’s never pleasant to bring forward a report denying a permissive tax exemption, particu-larly when they’ve had it up until this point.”
Meanwhile, one new tax exemption was rec-ommended by the city’s finance committee for Willow Point Support-ive Living Society, a non-profit providing affordable housing for independent seniors. The society is request-ing a tax break on property purchased in December 2009.
The list of tax exemp-tions is not yet final. Council is expected to adopt the bylaw some-time within the next month.

Under cloudy skies, with the imposing Cape Mudge lighthouse looming in the background, former light-keeper Jim Abram vowed to keep fighting for light-keepers – the eyes and ears on the ocean.
Abram,with his family by his side, returned to his former workplace last Friday morning to accept a lifetime membership in the B.C. lightkeepers union, a union he helped form in 1994.
“We felt we were not being properly repre-sented by the people we were working with, so we started our own local,” said Abram after being presented with a commem-orative plaque by union secretary-treasurer Glenn Borgens. “We had our first meeting in Victoria and they told us we’d all be fired. Since then we’ve been fighting and we’ve been fighting hard. We had to do it four times and if we have to do it again, I’ll be there.”
Just three years ago, Abram took up the battle and played a pivotal role in convincing then-Fisheries Minister Gail
Shea to abandon the fed-eral government’s plan to decommission B.C.’s 27 lighthouses located along the coast. Abram argued that automation could not provide the same level of protection for mariners as a lightkeeper.
In his current position as regional director for Quadra Island, Abram is continuing the fight – this time to stop the federal
government from cut-ting staff on watch at all five B.C. marine centres. Abram’s motion to petition the government to keep current staffing levels was originally brought to the Strathcona Regional Dis-trict Board and will be in front of the Union of B.C. Municipalities delegates in Victoria later this week.
“We feel you’ve gone way above and beyond,” Bor-
gens said in acknowledg-ing Abram last week. “So we thought we’d give you something that’s lasting. We want to present this to you with a huge amount of thank you’s. We’re proud to have you as one of our own and now you’re one of ours forever.”
Abram said although he’s now retired from the industry, he will continue to promote lightkeepers
and the invaluable service they provide.
“This is a service every-one has to understand is irreplaceable,” Abram said. “We’re one of the few nations that still appreci-ates the fact that lightkeep-ers deliver the most afford-able and efficient service to mariners who come from all around the world to be on our coast. I’ve been very proud to be a member of such an organi-zation and it’s going to stay with me all of my life.”
Abram acknowledged his wife, Wendy, son Jesse and daughter Melissa for sticking with him and sup-porting his work, which demanded a lot of time away from home.
“They’re all lightkeep-ers to me,” he said. “They grew up with me at this lightstation.”
As the event wrapped up, Borgens announced he had another surprise for Abram. Borgens returned from his car with an old stamp concealed in a small plastic bag.
“This is the first stamp of Local 20232,” Borgens explained. “I’m not sure if it still works, but it’s yours to keep.
“Welcome back to the family forever.”

Hard at workMore than 25 volunteers gath-ered Saturday to plant 300 trees along the Myrt Thomp-son Trail bordering Campbell River. The event was orga-nized by the Greenways Land Trust and was made possible thanks to a $5,000 grant from Canon. This spring volunteers mounted a “broom bash” to rid the trail of scotch broom, yellow flag iris and Japanese knotweed. These noxious weeds are being replaced by Douglas fir, Sitka spruce, Saskatoon berries and other friendly species. Hard at work are Maggy Parks and Peter Schwarzhoff.
No one was injured in a fire Tuesday that has closed Knight Inlet Lodge north of Camp-bell River.
Lodge accountant Barbara Callander told the Mirror Tues-day that staff were scrambling at mid-day to take care of their guests. Details of the fire were expected later in the day after the Mirror deadline. All Callander would say is that the lodge “is non-operational.”
Spotty initial reports suggest the fire may have started over-night in the kitchen. Owner Dean Wyatt was enroute to the lodge Tuesday morning.
Situated 60 kilome-tres from the mouth of the inlet the float-ing lodge is tucked into Glendale Cove,
one of the few pro-tected anchorages in the inlet. At full capac-ity the lodge will hold 30 guests in 12 rooms. Normally, there are about 20 guests on site.
The lodge is an assort-ment of construction styles dating from the early 1940s when the original float housed a logging camp. Recent construction has pro-vided modern build-ings for guest accom-modation.
Knight Inlet is the longest fjord on the coast. Dean and Kathy Wyatt pioneered lodge-based bear viewing in the early 1990s and have been ardent cham-pions of grizzly bear and salmon steward-ship and conservation in Knight Inlet and the Broughton Archi-pelago.

Drinking water:Drinking water:To your healthTo your health
Safe drinking water has been the key to public health since ancient civiliza ons established themselves around water sources. Early water treatment improved taste and removed visible cloudy par cles by ltering the water through charcoal, exposing it to sunlight, boiling it and straining it. Alum was used as a coagulant; it helped natural organic ma er to clump together for easier removal. By the late 1800s, scien sts made the link between “invisible” water contaminants and disease. Cholera was rst linked to contaminated drinking water in 1854 and by the late 19th and early 20th century, public health focused on disease-causing microbes in water supplies. While ltra on removed suspended cloudiness and removing larger par cles that could harbor disease-causing microorganisms, it alone could not do the job. In the early 1900s, it was disinfectants like chlorine that reduced the incidence of water-borne diseases. “The use of chlorine for the disinfec on of drinking water is cri cal for the control of waterborne diseases” (World Health Organiza on). These diseases include cholera, typhoid fever and gastro-intes nal diseases. Scien c studies show that the health bene ts from chlorina ng drinking water are far greater than any health risks posed by the treatment. In Campbell River, public health is safeguarded by UV and chlorine disinfec on and the Federal, Provincial and Municipal regula ons, standards and procedures that are in place. Thanks to the free ecosystem services that keep the Campbell River water free from natural organic ma er, expensive treatment like coagula on, occula on and ltra on are unnecessary. Today, over 80% of local residents drink City of Campbell River drinking water directly from the tap. This group considers the municipal water to be be er tas ng than tap water from many other Canadian municipali es. Another ten percent lter the tap water rst, using a variety of commercially available ltra on devices. But without the disinfec on and
protec on provided by chlorine, the average home ltra on unit would not guard against deadly water-
borne diseases, if they were present. Increased human presence in sensi ve areas poses a risk to drinking water. People can help protect their personal health and the source of drinking water by prac cing responsible recrea on in the Campbell River watershed areas where recrea on is allowed. Get informed at www.sustainablecampbellriver.ca (follow the link to Watershed Management Plan); provide input via 250-203-2316 or [email protected]. Watch for more ar cles on this important topic.

“Trifling” assault wasted court’s time and money
Campbell River Crown counsel and the RCMP have received a lecture from Provincial Court Judge Brian Saunder-son about wasting the court’s time and taxpay-ers’ money.
The lecture came as Judge Saunderson dis-missed assault charges against Ryan Thornton who got drunk one night in June, fell asleep and woke up angry when he realized his wife had video taped him in bed.
“It can be said with certainty,” Judge Saun-derson wrote in his judgment. “That it was not in the public inter-est to prosecute this man for this event. The police had the discretion not to forward a report to Crown counsel, but chose to do otherwise. Then Crown counsel had the discretion not to approve a charge, but
chose to do otherwise.”Both the Crown and
the police “took the easy way out by leaving the matter to the court,” the judge stated.
Thornton had appar-ently wrongly accused his wife of cheating before going to bed. She decided “to film him so that she could show him how he was acting,” the judge wrote. She pulled the bed covers away to expose Thornton’s face at which point he woke up and a 10 second “tug of war” followed. Thornton smashed the camera and his wife called 911.
Judge Saunderson said the woman’s ver-sion of events did not make sense and “the incident was minor – indeed it was trifling.” He concluded: “The public was not served by this proceeding. It was a waste of the court’s time and the taxpayers’ money.”

A letter written by Education Minister Don McRae when he was a Comox Valley teacher lamenting classroom overcrowding has come back to haunt him.
The president of the Campbell River District Teachers’ Association Elaine Thompson said she hopes McRae’s con-cerns as a teacher will follow him into his new portfolio. McRae was shifted from Agricul-ture to Education in Premier Christy Clark’s recent cabinet shuffle.
“When he was a teacher he wrote a very powerful letter about the difficulties of teach-ing large classes with numerous students that had special needs,” said Thompson, referring to a letter McRae wrote to North Island NDP MLA Claire Trevena towards the end of his 14-year career as a high school teacher.McRae wrote: “This semester I have 128 students and 18 IEPs (Individualized Educa-tion Program special
needs students) in total. My concern is that I do not know just how effec-tive I will be as an educa-tor this year. With large classes, management becomes a bigger issue, and more time is spent trying to get students on task. If I continue to teach classes of this size and composition, I do not see how the system will get 18 more years of service from me. I would eventually break or stop caring, and then it would be time for me to move on.”
T h o m p s o n s a i d : “Unfortunately, since McRae decided to move on...we have not heard him speak out about the issues surround-ing large classes with so many special needs students.
We have only heard him defend the gov-ernment’s education bills. And as an MLA, he told colleagues in a school staff room that he worked harder as a teacher than he does as an MLA. So we know that he understands how difficult a job it is to be a teacher.”

Finance Minister Mike de Jong should be good with numbers. Two of them loom large: Eight – the months left until the election; and, zero – the Liberals’ chances of victory unless they quickly demonstrate leader-
ship.So, what does it take to signal he
can do the math? How about a fiscal agenda that adds up? In its current poll Angus Reid asked voters to rank government issues. Twenty-seven per cent said the economy was most important, up two percentage points
in a month. The next most important issue was health care at 17 per cent, down three points in a month. Then came leadership at 14 points, up two.
Way at the bottom, in the one to seven per cent range, came all those “families first” issues that Premier Christy Clark has touted such as tax relief, poverty, education, crime, housing, day care and homeless-ness. De Jong has launched a wave of belt tightening including an immediate hiring freeze across govern-ment and a wage freeze for public sector managers including those in schools, universities and health organizations. He also hinted that he will tighten the screws in the negotiations with public sector unions and possibly hike corporate taxes.
There are critical elements of de Jong’s agenda that simply don’t add up. First, most armchair economists would agree that during tough economic times the job of government is to help the economy expand. You
don’t accomplish that by cutting back on government’s ability to stimulate the economy. And you certainly don’t do it on the backs of the business sector which is responsible for growth and investment.
Second, Premier Clark’s families-first banner is hanging at half mast. Voters – like those polled – have not bought into the proposition that tax relief, poverty, education, crime, housing, day care, and homeless-ness trumps the health of the over-arching economy. Clearly they believe government should facilitate eco-nomic wellbeing first and let the family first benefits flow as a consequence.
The Liberals’ zeal to balance the books and tighten the screws is wrong. They should do the math – eight times zero equals zero.

An item I read recently got me to thinking about stadiums. Or should that be stadia?
Anyway, some stadiums have an aura and a history that can generate a nostalgia as a result. I can’t say I’ve visited a stadium or an arena that has that much caché because most of my professional sports consumption has been in Vancouver.
However, I do have fond memories of attending B.C. Lions games and Vancouver Whitecaps games in old Empire Stadium and then BC Place. I used to catch the Vancouver Canucks at the Pacific Coliseum back when you could get a ticket for $20 but you had to ask yourself why you’d want to? I would be in nosebleed seats
and then move down to a lower level because sellouts were rare in those days. Except when the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Montreal Canadiens came to town, of course.
I don’t know exactly when the first game I went to in Vancouver was. It was definitely a B.C. Lions game at Empire Stadium. I remember walk-ing from the outer concourse into the tunnel that emerged into the seating area. I still remember being in the darkened tunnel that first time and looking out at the seats across from me and a portion of the field.
Emerging out of the tunnel into the seating area was magical. Even though all of the seats weren’t filled yet, there was an energy in the air.
An excitement that something thrill-ing was about to happen. As a young sports fan it was a buzz.
It all seemed to be bathed in a bright and glorious light. The stadium lights of course. The green artificial turf field seemed to glow. The white lines gleamed. There may even have been a touch of rain (it was Vancouver after all) and so everything had a glossy sheen to it. The P.A. announcer was saying something in a tinny, echo-ing voice and people were shouting to each other across the seats or yell-ing good naturedly to friends and acquaintances. Opposition fans were teased and the vendors hawked pro-grams and goodies.
I’m sure my oldest stadium expe-
rience would have been as a child in Scotland. I can remember going to some game with my Dad, uncle and brothers but I don’t remember the game. Being somewhere around five or six years old, I just remember crowds of people. The game involved a trip into Glasgow so I would guess it was a “road trip” for my family of Ardrieonians fans going in to see them versus Celtic or Rangers.
At any rate, there’s something spe-cial about a live game. I haven’t been to the refurbished B.C. Place yet nor the Canucks “new” home at Rogers Arena but maybe soon I will.
It’s been so long since I’ve been to a game I might be able to recapture that old magic.
For the recordIn an article titled Transit Ridership is on the rise,
published in the Mirror July 27, ridership figures for Vernon and Penticton were incorrect. The actual num-bers are 405,271 for Vernon and 413,257 for Penticton. The incorrect numbers led to inaccurate information in a letter to the editor, Transit numbers don’t add up, published in the Mirror Sept. 19. Using the letter writer’s formula, the figures should be, for Vernon: $1.51 per ride in revenue and $6.07 per ride in operat-ing expenses. For Penticton: $1.26 per ride in revenue and $5.73 per ride in operating expenses. The Mirror regrets the error.

This ‘interpretation’ of the Provincial Community Charter just plain stinks and if this continues, this will be a travesty. These organizations will have to close their doors if the city continues to contemplate terminating their tax free property status.
We should be celebrating the decisions of those local businesses and organizations that have given these groups a safe and secure place to house themselves, not take away their only way of continuing servicing the commu-nity. If the city council has to continue with this decision by law, then they darn well better fix the problem with whatever grants or mon-ies that are available for them to continue as they have been.
If not, then shame on you City Council, and you may as well bury these wonderful, incred-ible organizations in that giant cemetery plot on Jubilee.

Suspicious calls
Suspicious phone calls concerning an individual offering residential duct cleaning have recently been making the rounds in Campbell River.
Complainants report that the individual can be aggressive and often the final price is elevated from what was initially offered.
The caller seems to target strata units or senior citizen facilities. He is described as a balding, caucasian male, 5’7” with a heavy build.
The male may identify the business as “Westcoast Restorations” however there are no valid businesses by that name in the area.
The suspect is believed to be driving a white Chevrolet panel van without markings or signage on it.
Police are reminding people to be wary of any vendors offering unsolicited home improvements. People should ask for additional information about the company and what is being offered before letting anyone in their home.
Attempted theft with weapon
A group of people walking down 9th Avenue on Sunday, Sept. 16 at 2:20 a.m. were lucky to escape an attempted theft and assault.
The group was walking in the 700 block when a male approached and
asked for cigarettes. The group declined and the male became aggressive, producing a knife and swinging it at another male in the group.
Campbell River RCMP responded to the incident and upon arrival at the scene, the suspect fled.
A brief foot chase between police and the male ensued.
The suspect got away but a police dog was able to track the male to a nearby area where he was found hiding from police.
After a short struggle, the suspect, identified as Tommy Vernon Paul, 28, of Campbell River, was arrested.
Paul was held in police custody and has since plead guilty to assault with a weapon and uttering threats.
Paul remains in custody while a sentencing date is fixed.

“Perfectionist and visionary” Kris Mail-man has been named C a m p b e l l R ive r ’s “Business Leader of the Year” at this year’s Chamber of Commerce
Business Awards of Distinction.
The awards cere-mony Saturday at the Tidemark Theatre was attended by more than 250 guests.
This year’s event included live street theatre performances and a multimedia pre-sentation honouring the Chamber’s 80th anniversary and high-
lighting key events in Campbell River’s busi-ness history.
Chamber President Colleen Evans said: “Kris Mailman is the visionary who started Seymour Pacific Devel-opments more than 25 years ago, a perfection-ist who led by example and a man of integrity who built a business through honest and old fashion hard work.”
Mailman, whose award was accepted by his son Kris Jr., was just one of a dozen entrepreneurs and businesses to receive awards in categories ranging from micro businesses to large.
Special categories this year included diversity leadership and environmental sustainability. For a complete list of awards
and winners see our special section in today’s paper.
Evans said the call for nominations this year resulted in “a record number of deserving nominees, represent-ing the outstanding contribution that indi-viduals, businesses and not for profit organiza-tions make to Campbell River.”
C h a m b e r B o a r d
Chair Gary Thulin said: “The Business Awards of Distinction recipients exemplify the qualities of busi-ness success.
“Each of the award recipients brings their entrepreneurial spirit, risk taking, ideas and innovation into our community to grow and shape a prosper-ous and healthy Camp-bell River.”

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARINGBYLAW NO. 139 Cortes Island Offi cial Community Plan Bylaw 2012
Date of Public Hearing: Saturday, October 6, 2012
Location of Public Hearing: Gorge Hall 1375 Robertson Road Whaletown, Cortes Island, BC
Public Hearing to Commence at: 1:00 p.m.
Area Affected by Proposed Bylaw: That portion of the Strathcona Regional District described as Electoral Area B (Cortes Island); the geographic extent including Cortes, Marina, Subtle and Twin Islands and small offshore islets.
Purpose of Proposed Bylaw: In general terms, Bylaw No. 139, being Cortes Island Offi cial Community Plan Bylaw 2012, if adopted, would satisfy the requirements for Offi cial Community Plans under Section 875(1) of the Local Government Act and would repeal Bylaw No. 1740, being the “Cortes Offi cial Community Plan Bylaw, 1995” and all amendments thereto.
As defi ned by the Local Government Act, the purpose and intent of an Offi cial Community Plan (OCP) is to provide guidance for long-term planning, development, and land use management within the area covered by the plan, through a statement of objectives and policies respecting the purposes of local government. In the case of Bylaw No. 139, the proposed OCP maintains the land stewardship practices established under Bylaw No. 1740 and also offers policy development in the following areas:
1.Environment: This section has been expanded to differentiate between sensitive ecosystems, habitat protection and wilderness protection; Riparian Areas Regulation requirements have been added and a Freshwater Conservancy designation has been added to provide a measure of protection for drinking water supply(ies).2.Sustainable Development: Sustainable principles and goals have been included in the OCP for Electoral Area B. In addition to climate change policy, including targets and policy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, coastal planning and sea level rise considerations are also identifi ed. 3.First Nations: The OCP lies within the traditional territory of the Klahoose, Tla’amin, and Xwémalhkwu First Nations and a section has been included that provides this context. Policy has been introduced regarding cooperative engagement, forestry and economic development. 4.Manson’s Landing: The OCP introduces preparatory local planning for Manson’s Landing as a primary social place on Cortes Island, including an amenity list for future development. Land use planning, waste management planning and environmental protection have been identifi ed as key implementation projects in the future.5.Coastal Designations: Current OCP mapping within Bylaw No. 1740 does not include designations over coastal waters. The proposed bylaw includes four new marine designations including Coastal Off-shore, Coastal Access, Coastal First Nations and Coastal Harbours. The intention of this change is to provide a long range planning framework for the myriad of marine activities in Electoral Area B.6.Aquaculture: The OCP offers policy respecting aquaculture uses, including a list of criteria for aquaculture applications and direction to seek Map Reserve status for Gorge Harbour.7.Agricultural Land Stewardship (ALS): A new agricultural designation has been introduced that provides for land sharing for farm operations. Similar in framework to Community Land Stewardship or Forest Land Stewardship, ALS allows for an increased number of dwellings to be sited on lands in support of farming activities. This designation does not apply to ALR lands.8.Community Amenities: The proposed OCP includes a list of community amenities that may be requested in the event that a proposed development requests increased density.
Copies of the proposed bylaw and related information are available for inspection at the Strathcona Regional District Customer Service Centre, located at #102 – 990 Cedar Street, Campbell River, between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays from September 21, 2012 to October 5, 2012. The bylaw may also be viewed on the Strathcona Regional District website at www.strathconard.ca.
The public hearing will be held by a delegation of the Strathcona Regional District Board comprising the directors representing Electoral Areas A, B, C and D. Anyone who believes their interests are affected by the proposed bylaw will be given an opportunity to be heard or to fi le a written submission at the public hearing.
Written submissions from persons who are unable to attend the public hearing may be delivered by hand or electronically to the Regional District offi ce and must be received no later than 12:00 noon on October 5, 2012 to be considered as part of the public hearing record. The Strathcona Regional District cannot consider any representations made after the close of the public hearing.

ICBC (Insurance Corporation of B.C.) workers in Campbell River joined their counterparts across the province in a one-day strike last week to protest wage freezes and government draws from ICBC revenues.
Canadian Office and Professional Employ-ees Union (COPE) members representing ICBC demonstrated with sandwich boards outside the claims centre on 12th Avenue Sept.18.
About 1,600 workers were on strike at 55 claims-related loca-tions across B.C. with essential service levels maintained to abide by a May Labour Rela-tions Board ruling.
The union has been without a contract since 2010 and voted 87 per cent in favour of strike action in April to support demands for wage increases in line with the cost of living.
David Black, the pres-ident of COPE 378, said it’s not something the union takes lightly.
“We haven’t been on strike at ICBC in over thirty years, but this is about fundamentals,” Black said in a news
release. “It’s about say-ing you can’t ask hard-working people to go two years without a basic fair contract.”
At the time of the union’s strike vote, members were ask-ing for five per cent pay raises in 2012 and in 2013, while the gov-ernment has a zero
mandate, or no wage increase policy, unless savings can be found from within the union to make up the extra dollars.
Adding to the union’s frustration is the province’s decision to siphon millions of ICBC profits each year for general revenue.
“The government’s 2012 budget and fiscal plan states that they will take $1.17 billion from ICBC between 2010 and 2014,” said a press release from COPE 378.
Black said while ICBC workers are losing out, auto body shops, law-yers and other profes-
sionals who have con-tracts with ICBC are receiving increased compensation from the insurance company.
While the Sept. 18 strike was aimed at getting the employer’s – and the public’s – attention, the union
said it would ensure drivers were not incon-venienced or stuck in the middle of the dis-pute.

Winners wants to set up shop in Campbell River – a move that city staff say could inject more life into the downtown core.
The clothing, shoe and accessories retailer is proposing to convert the former Super Valu in Tyee Plaza.
The proposal is still in the early stages, but the city confirmed last week that it has received a development
permit application.“We have an appli-
cation for a form and character development permit and (city) staff are in the process of reviewing it and then it can go to council for their consideration,” said Ross Blackwell, city land use manager, who couldn’t say if renovations would be required on the build-ing. Blackwell also hasn’t received any indication of when construction could begin but did say the
city received Winners’ application on Sept. 10.
“We expect to advance this as quickly as we can so people can get shopping,” he said.
Winners is known for its discount prices on brand-name home and apparel fashions. The retailer offers discounts of up to 60 per cent off designer clothing, which come in daily.
Blackwell said it’s encouraging to have a large retailer such
as Winners invest in Campbell River.
“I think this is great news, it will attract more (people) into our downtown core,” Blackwell said. “It brings more vibrancy, it’s great for tourism; when folks come to visit our town they have more options.”
Winners is just the latest of a handful of new developments to come through the city in the past few months.
Seymour Pacific got
the ball rolling with its April announcement that it would be tearing down a block of empty commercial buildings along St.Ann’s and replacing it with a new four-to-five-storey head office building.
Berwick Retirement homes then secured a development per-mit to build a seniors facility on the empty lot between McDon-ald’s and Banners res-taurant, followed by developer Orla Jensen who plans to reinvent
the old Willow Point Mazda into a new com-mercial space.
Rounding out the list is a transition house under construction downtown at the bot-tom of the Dogwood hill, a 47-unit rental apartment complex at Merecroft and Dogwood, and, most recently, a shopping complex with a TD Canada Trust Bank and Shoppers Drug Mart at the corner of Hilchey and South Dogwood.
“Campbell River’s doors are wide open for investment and land development and we’re here to help that process as effectively and efficiently as we can,” Blackwell said.
If Winners does indeed go through with its development permit application, the new store would become the sixth location on the Island. There are cur-rently Winners stores in Courtenay, Duncan, Nanaimo, and two in Victoria.

Work on the Simms Creek culvert replace-ment project is com-plete, and traffic and water are flowing again.
The project inserted an urgently needed new storm sewer drain pipe into the existing culvert at Galerno Road to support traf-fic and utilities cross-ing Simms Creek.
The “slip-lined” pipe is approximately 26 metres long and three metres in diameter and has been grouted in place with concrete to replace the previ-ously-failing culvert.
In-stream work was completed ahead of fall rains and in time for the fall fish run.
“Fish habitat has been restored with improved conditions designed to allow the fish better passage through the culvert,” says Jason Hartley, the city’s capital works manager.
“The city thanks Upland Excavating and McElhanney Consult-ing Services for their outstanding efforts in
the successful comple-tion of this project, and we appreciate the patience of local residents and drivers while we detoured vehicles around the work site,” Hartley
adds.Galerno Road has
been re-opened to local traffic, with a speed limit of 50 kilometres per hour in effect. Speed bumps have been removed.
For information on this project, please contact the city’s capi-tal works department at 250-286-5700 or visit the city’s website, www.campbellriver.ca.
Simms culvert repaired
The Simms Creek culvert is repaired and Galerno Road is fully open to traffic.
Speed bumps have been taken out and the area has been returned to a 50 kilo-
metre per hour speed zone.
MLA outlines forest planBRIAN KIERAN
CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
An “evolving” three-point NDP plan to renew the forest sec-tor will include raw log export restrictions, the re-instatement of a jobs commissioner and aggressive reforesta-tion, North Island NDP MLA Claire Trevena says.
Trevena made her remarks at a United Steelworkers (USW) sponsored town hall meeting in Campbell River at which the Liberal government’s “neglect” of forest sec-tor issues was a recur-ring theme. The NDP has come under fire for not being specific enough about its policy agenda.
Trevena’s plan was in lockstep with a USW five-point plan outlined at the meeting by union officer Scott Lunny.
Trevena said: “On the North Island we can see the effects of 11 years of govern-ment policy. We have an immensely wealthy resource in our forests and we have no con-
trol of it anymore. The companies control the (Crown) land base and they have been allowed to get away with clos-ing all the mills. Gold River is gone, Tahsis is gone, Campbell River went...what’s left north of Nanaimo?”
With respect to raw log exports Trevena said the Liberal forests minister has overruled his committee no less than 85 times in cases where it was recom-mended that raw logs be processed domes-tically rather than shipped to Asia.
Lunny, who is the only union represen-tative on that commit-tee, confirmed that the minister has not fol-lowed the committee’s recommendations “a whole bunch of times.” In one case, he said, there was a domestic company prepared to pay a fair price to pur-chase a shipment of raw logs, but the min-ister rejected the com-mittee’s desire to keep the logs here in B.C.
The USW five-point plan includes: An “equivalency fee” to
discourage raw log exports and encourage domestic manufactur-ing; a measure to cap-ture raw logs on private forest lands; a reform of the stumpage system to shift “resources rents” down the processing chain; an investment fund using Softwood Lumber Agreement revenues and other fees to renew manufac-turing capacity; and, reforestation strategy to renew the resource and create jobs.
Darrel Wong, presi-dent of USW Local 1-1937, told the meet-ing B.C. must reform the forest sector if it expects to take advan-tage of a U.S. housing rebound.
“The projected hous-ing starts in the U.S. over the next two years are up in the range of 1.5 to two million,” Wong said. “That is where we start mak-ing significant money. Now the issue for us is actually getting more manufacturing jobs out of that because we have reduced the number of manufacturing facili-ties on the coast.”

BRIAN KIERANCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Campbell River mom Brandi Stovman is searching for an angel of mercy who can help get her 10-year-old Down Syndrome son Braedyn on the first leg of a once in a lifetime trip to Disney-land.
Braedyn has been invited to take part in “Dreams Take Flight 2012” sponsored by Air Canada and Dis-neyland, but getting the youngster to Van-couver for an orienta-tion session Sunday Sept. 30 and for his flight to California Oct. 16 is proving to be a daunting challenge.
Central Mountain Air has already stepped up to the plate with an offer of gen-erously discounted tickets from Campbell River to Vancouver return and it is hop-ing some community group will “partner” with the airline to
make it happen. In fact, Central Moun-tain reservation man-ager Patty Peterson has told the Mirror she has booked the Sunday flights just in case.
There isn’t much happening in Brandi’s life right now that isn’t a disaster. Her home is on the brink of foreclosure, her decade old van is on its last legs and she’s on crutches and off work.
“Air Canada and Disneyland is giv-ing Braedyn the one thing we have always wanted to do for our son. I always thought that one day I would have that honor of taking my son to the most magical place on earth, but our finances won’t allow it at this time. We are in financial turmoil at this time and are fighting to save our house from foreclos-ure,” Brandi says.
“I have been diag-
nosed with Reflex Sympathetic Dys-trophy. Driving is very hard to do even for short distances to just get milk from the store. I drive a failing van and it has been very cranky lately and I do fear that it wouldn’t be able to make the trip. My husband, Chris, would drive us there, how-ever he works in camp and his pay cheque coming in is the only reason why we haven’t lost our home yet.”
In order to qualify for the trip Brandi and Braedyn have to go to Vancouver on Sunday for a mandatory “meet and greet.” On Oct. 16 Braedyn has to be at Vancouver Inter-national Airport at 4:30 a.m. for the flight. He returns at 11p.m. the same day. “He will make hundreds of memories and new friends that will last him a lifetime. I am thrilled for him,” his mom says. “I would
hate to think that my son could lose out on
such a wonderful day experience because I
couldn’t get him there. If someone can help
us we will be forever in their debt.”

Ah, the end of sum-mer and we have to come indoors again, but it won’t be difficult with some great enter-tainment coming your way from the 2012/13 season of Quadra’s Cul-tural Committee.
The first concert will see vibrant youth and exceptional musicality in the form of piano four-hands with the tal-ented Fung-Chiu Duo.
These two soloists, Janelle Fung and Philip Chiu, have become one of Canada’s première piano duos to challenge the traditional bound-aries of their genre. Hear their lively per-formance on Sunday, Oct. 14 at 2:30 p.m. at the Quadra Community Centre.
Formed in 2007, under
the auspices of Jeu-nesses Musicales Can-ada, the Fung-Chiu Duo has toured the country to many Canadian cities and given gala perfor-mances at such venues as the Casino de Mon-tréal and the Orford Arts Centre. “They fairly romped through the program, showing considerable flair for the virtuosic side of piano playing…many moments in their play-ing, especially in the Debussy and the Ravel, showed the poetic side of their musicality,” Stephen Pedersen of the Chronicle Herald.
Janelle Fung began her piano studies at the age of four in Van-couver. She received degrees from the East-man School of Music
and the Julliard School of New York and her doctorate from Univer-sité de Montréal. At age 14, Fung made her pro-fessional debut with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra and has concertized through-out Canada, the U.S., Europe, South Korea, Japan and Argentina.
Philip Chiu was born in Hong Kong and raised in Canada. He received his Piano Per-formance Diploma from the Glenn Gould School in Montréal. Winning the Glenn Gould School Concert Competition, Chiu went on to solo throughout Canada, playing his orchestral debut in 2005 with Mae-stra Tania Miller of the Victoria Symphony. One of Canada’s most sought-after collabora-tive pianists, he has performed with such artists as Stefan Dohr, principal horn of the Berlin Philharmonic, Larry Combs and Craig
Morris (clarinet and trumpet) of the Chi-cago Symphony.
The Fung-Chiu Duo has committed them-selves to expanding the repertoire for piano four-hands by writing original transcrip-tions of such pieces as Stravinsky’s Firebird, Bernstein’s Westside Story, and Berlioz’ Sym-phonie Fantastique. Fung describes their writing process as: “...sitting down at the piano with the orches-tral score, plunking our hands down and seeing what works.” Accord-ing to the extremely communicative Chiu, “Working together on four-hand piano is the most fun, almost a stress relief from solo piano work.”
Tickets at the door are $20. Students accom-panied by an adult are admitted free. For more information, please call 250-285-2580 or visit www.fungchiuduo.com

The Haig-Brown Fes-tival has been attract-ing some excellent local talent in the last few years, and this year is no exception.
Duane J. Hanson, a member of Campbell River’s First Nations Homalco band, will be appearing again this year with the Bent-wood Boyz, a group of musicians also com-posed of local Aborigi-nal artists.
Like last year, they plan to play a mix of blues and country tunes and Hanson is in favour of playing acoustically. For this appearance, he will play the bass guitar, but he usually plays drums.
“I’ve been playing since I was six years old,” Hanson said. “I grew up in a musical family and learned from my dad and my uncle. I was already performing in public by the time I was 10.”
Hanson was drawn to the festival while working with MISA in Campbell River last year on a project involving Aboriginal youth and art. He got to know Ken Black-burn at the Campbell River Arts Council and when Blackburn (who also coordinates the Haig-Brown Festival) found out that Hanson was a musician, he asked him if he would be interested in provid-ing the festival’s musi-cal entertainment.
“I went to the prop-erty to get a feel for
the location,” Hanson said. “I liked the fact that it was right by the river. Historically, everything in Camp-bell River started with the river. I think the Haig-Brown Festival is a really good festival because it tries to cre-ate an awareness about our impact on the envi-ronment.”
“I don’t think there is a First Nations group that would disagree about the importance of preserving the envi-ronment, and right now, there is a concern that commercial interests are going to overwhelm the small communities that are being offered dollars in exchange for
compromising their surroundings.”
Hanson has a degree in social and economic studies and works for the John Howard Soci-ety as First Nations Relations Advisor. His recent experience with the Society has given him the opportunity to look from the outside, in. He has also been an elected chief, and he is well acquainted with the frustration experi-enced on both sides.
“I have an ‘over the hedge’ philosophy,” he says. “I think Aborigi-nal peoples are in a position to take the best from both worlds and to empower each other.”
This philosophy has worked well for Han-son musically, and he is ready to move for-ward with recording original songs. He has been very busy this summer playing in the Vancouver area mostly for weddings and fam-ily reunions. There, he says, the demand is usually for rock music. As a writer of songs however, he leans more towards blues/rock.
He would like to see other First Nations musicians on the West Coast break away from what is classified as Aboriginal music and create something new, and he wants to help the Bentwood Boyz take the next steps towards doing that and creating a following.
This summer audi-ences enjoyed their music at Spirit Square, and they are booked to play at the Quin-sam Hotel in Novem-ber. This Sunday you can have the pleasure of hearing them play live on the grounds of the Haig-Brown house. The festival is free and runs from noon to 4 p.m.
While you are there, don’t forget to look for this year’s commemo-rative fly, Haig-Brown’s ‘Coho Blue’. A boxed ‘Coho Blue’ has been donated by Tony Pin-der and will be avail-able for auction at the Festival. For further information, call the Museum at 250-287-3103.

“Individual Commit-ment to a team effort…that’s what makes a team work.” – Vince Lombardi
It was as though
Vince Lombardi ’s famous quote was meant specifically for the Timberline Wolves Football team as they stepped onto the field to face their Vanier rivals last Friday night under the lights.
A f t e r h o u r s o f intense competition, the scoreboard showed a Timberline victory of 20-6, but what some onlookers may not have understood was the victory for the Tim-berline Football Team was much more than the score on the board.
Mid-August, school football teams are allowed to start prac-ticing. A few days before practices were scheduled to start, the Timberline team was told there would be no football program in Campbell River this year. The core group of young men has played football together since pee wee…and this was to be their senior year!
Stunned, the team gathered to talk over their options…but as the idea of all the play-ers moving to different schools out of town to play seemed like the only viable option with such short notice, the Wolves decided they would not move – they would stick together and they would find a way to remain Tim-berline Wolves – they would not give up.
With the help of their coaches, parents and supporters, they found a way to meet every challenge and
solve every problem - no whining, no com-plaining, no excuses. And Friday night, as the crowd cheered and
the coaches yelled and the plays were called, each young man did his job, whether it was to deliver or protect or
catch or carry. The next Timberline
football game is Satur-day, Oct 6 at 1:30 p.m. at Timberline field.
Wolves channel Vince Lombardi
The action gets intense during Friday’s TImbelrine football game against Vanier. The football season almost
never got underway when it was announced in mid-August that there would be no program.
The Timberline Wolves Senior Girls Vol-leyball Team has placed second in their firsttournament of the season and swept Vanierin a home opening league game.
At the 10-team Dover Bay Invitational, thegirls knocked off the Number 2- and 4-rankedteam in the province and now the Wolvesfind themselves ranked Number 2 in B.C. onthe AAA list. We placed first in our pool thenbeat #2 Ballenas in the semi-final. In the finalwe lost 23-25; 24-26 to Cedar of Nanaimo. Thematch could have gone either way.
“I consider this to be a rebuilding year aswe are such a young team,” said coach TerryPhilp. “I have six Grade 10s and only threeGrade 12s. I think the difference in us andthose teams we played is that the six Grade 10sall played at a high level this summer and havea leg up on some of the older girls we playedagainst. Sarah Chase played on Team BC andthe other five girls all played on the IslandSummer Games team that I coached. Theywon bronze at the games in Surrey this pastsummer and played against some top notchcompetition.
I’ve told the girls not to let the high rankinggo to their heads. It is early in the season andnow teams will be gunning for us. The Islandis really strong this year, so just qualifying forprovincials will be a challenge.
“I am very excited about this team and thefuture of girls volleyball at Timberline,” saidPhilp.
Strong opening tournament earns Wolves No. 2 ranking
The 2012/13 Royal LePage midget Tyee sea-son officially got underway Saturday after-noon with the first of five placement roundgames.
Game 1 in was away against the Comox Val-ley A1 team. The teams came out fast andaggressive with several bone rattling hits byboth squads. However, Comox crossed the lineand found themselves a man short. The Tyeestook only 15 seconds into the power play toscore their first of the season on a shot fromD man Brayden McCartney.

BRIAN KIERANCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Aquaculture Aware-ness Week in Campbell River concluded last week with a fish farm tour in Okisollo Chan-nel and a message that salmon farmers have matured and the public “conversation” about the merits of the indus-try has improved.
“The hard work is starting to pay off,” BC Salmon Farmers Association (BCSFA) executive director Mary Ellen Walling said. “The industry has really matured. There is a real com-mitment to work col-laboratively and we are finding ways to communicate that we truly care (about the environment.)”
Walling said a good example of how far the sector has evolved in the past decade is its handling of the IHN virus outbreak this year compared to a similar event several years ago.
“It was like night and day.” she said. “The industry’s response
this time was immedi-ate. Bio-security pro-tocols were in place immediately and test-ing was ramped up. We managed it effec-tively.”
On a tour of the Marine Harvest Oki-sollo far m off the northern tip of Quadra Island BCSFA com-munications manager Colleen Dane said: “A couple of years ago ... you would hear a lot
more about whether we should be doing this job and if we should be doing aquaculture in British Columbia. I find more and more the conversations we are having now with the pubic is not whether we should be doing aquaculture, but how we can make sure we are doing it in the most responsible way.”
Dane said that is a good thing because
there is a pressing need to provide protein to a growing global popula-tion and “there are a limited number of wild fish out there and if we want to continue to protect them we need to be able to provide sea food in another way and aquaculture really is the future.”
Mayor Walter Jake-way, who participated in the tour, said: “It’s great to see an industry
that’s doing well and has so much potential to grow. We just have to let the bureaucrats get out of the way and let the salmon farmers get on with it.”
Liberal candidate Nick Facey, also on the tour, said: “One of the neat things to see is how low impact these facilities are. It is incredible to see their efficiency, their clean-liness and the sheer volume of salmon they are able to pro-duce. We saw 10 pens with about 60,000 fish in each. That’s more than 500,000 fish (at the Okisollo farm). That’s absolutely incredible and it’s a industry we have to grow in B.C.”
Dane said she is hoping that visitors to farms like Okisollo appreciate “how much care we take when we are farming out there so when they come back and they talk about the economic benefits that the industry provides to these communities they can also feel very confident that it is not at the sacrifice of the environment, that we
are doing both very well.”
The economic reali-ties of the sector and its growth potential were a key theme at the association’s AGM. Dr. Roslyn Kunin, Director of the Brit-ish Columbia Office of the Canada West Foundation, reported that finfish production in B.C. enjoyed annual growth of 10.8 per cent through the 1990s, but less than one per cent annual growth from 2001 to 2010.
The economist also noted that if current
growth levels persist the industry will be producing less than 80,000 tonnes of salmon annually by 2020, an increase of only about 10,000 tonnes in eight years. If the industry could grow at the pace of its counterparts in Norway or Chile that harvest could be between 120,000 and 140,000 tonnes annu-ally by 2020.
Currently, salmon farming supports 6,000 direct and indirect jobs and contributes $800 million to the provin-cial economy annually.
Aquaculture Week message is upbeat

David “Neill” Hanna
March 31, 1928– September 21, 2012
It is with saddened hearts that we annouce the sudden passing of our dad, grandad, uncle and friend. He was predeceased by the love of his life, Dorothy
in 2002. Survived by his children; Grant, Maggie, Mike and Barb, grandchildren; Alexandra, Danielle, Connor, Brad, Ryan and Rachael, sister in law Idabelle, nieces, nephews, and very dear and special friend Helen. Dad’s life was fi lled with lots of love and laughter(heavy on the laughter). He enjoyed life to the fullest, always had a kind word and smile for everyone and looked for the positive in everything. Truly a gentleman. Dad was born in Alberni, BC. March 31 1928 and moved to Campbell River, BC in 1958 with his young family in tow. In the summers, if he wasn’t down at the ball park watching games, he was hooking up the 5th wheel and heading out camping with all his crazy friends(you all know who you are!!!) Dad was also a very proud and dedicated member of the Masonic Blue Lodge for over 50 years and the Shrine Club.A memorial service will be held at 1:00p.m. on Friday, September 28, 2012 at the Campbell River United Church, 415 Pinecrest St. Tea following at the Masonic Lodge. Flowers gratefully declined. In lieu, donations to the Campbell River Hospital Foundation would be appreciated.
After a brief battle with cancer, and with much grace and dignity, Judy passed away peacefully with family at her side.
She leaves behind to mourn her husband Richard, her brother Rick(Sigi) Thompson and sisters Susan(Dereck) Atha and Heather(Barry) Sainchuk and nephew Spencer.
Judy was predeceased by her parents A.J.(Jack) and Eileen Thompson.
Judy will be forever appreciated by everyone who enjoys the beauty of Quadra's wilderness parks. Her untimely passing leaves islanders mourning, but also remembering her amazing presence and her legacy of community service and conservation achievements.
We are all heartbroken by the loss of our kind and generous wife and sister, and she will be sorrowly missed.
A private family service was held on Mayne Island and her ashes will be laid to rest in Main Lake on Quadra Island.
In Lieu of fl owers donations can be made in memory of Judy, to "Save The Heart of Quadra Parks" go to www.quadraparks.ca

from their used book sales events in April and another in October. Both are approximately three days each
and widely attended and successful. Tammy Pentney Clinical Coordinator says the scale is used every day
and is seriously and significantly appreciated by staff and patients alike due to its mobility, ease of entry
and use, plus a few other perks that make it a most welcome addition to cancer care at the Campbell River

United Way Central and North-ern Vancouver Island (UWCNVI) has launched its annual “Change Starts Here” campaign to raise $120,000 for critically needed pro-grams for kids, youth and seniors in and around Campbell River.
UWCNVI is targeting compa-nies, employee campaign teams in workplaces, labour organiza-tions and individuals to donate the much-needed funds.
Campbell River United Way board member Jim Forysth says: “This is an uncertain economic time particularly in the North Island and the need for support programs is increasing. The United Way fuels the outstand-ing work of our partner agencies who work directly with the chil-dren, youth and seniors at risk. Your donation helps people learn
new skills, combat addictions and creates support for vulnerable seniors.”
If you would like to volunteer, donate, start a work place cam-paign or make bequest, call UWC-NVI Community Development Coordinator Brad Bayly at 250-702-2911. Donations can be made online at www.uwcnvi.ca or by calling 250-287-3213.
The campaign will fund 10 local organizations including: the Campbell River Adult Care, the Campbell River Family Services Society, the Campbell River North Island Transition Society, the Canadian Red Cross Equipment loan program, the Comox Valley Therapeutic Riding Society, the John Howard Society Kidstart program, the North Island Sup-portive Recovery Society, the North Island Survivor’s Healing Society, the Women’s Addiction, Sexual Wellness & Education Society and the Vancouver Island North Women’s Resource Society.
