The BC College of Midwives is conducting an investigation into a Quadra Island woman, Moreka Jolar, who it claims is illegally doing the work of a midwife while claiming to be a traditional birth attendant. College Registrar Jane Kilthei tells the Mirror that Jolar has been on the College’s radar since 1998 and became an issue again this summer after the BC Ambulance Service flagged her role in the August birth of Morgan Stewart-Webb. Morgan’s life was saved by his dad Noah Webb, 25, a volunteer fire fighter whose training kicked into high gear after Morgan’s mom, Amanda, 28, went into labour three days early and gave birth in the couple’s backyard wading pool. Often babies take a few seconds to breath, but baby Morgan did not and the 911 call was made. Noah said later: “I’ve done quite a bit of training to do CPR, but I never thought I’d have to use it.” He inserted an airway and continued to work on the infant until paramedics arrived. Kilthei says she was contacted

by “someone very senior in the BC Ambulance Service.” Apparently, paramedics at the Quadra birth were troubled by what they encountered. The College alleges Jolar “provided midwifery care to a woman and her newborn in Quathiaski Cove on Quadra Island on Aug. 15 including managing this woman’s labour and delivery on her own responsibility.” “Jolar delivered a newborn male with a heart rate of less than 60 beats per minute and no respiratory effort who required full CPR including eight to 10 minutes of cardiac compressions.” The College also alleges that Jolar represented herself “as qualified to act as primary care provider at this woman’s birth.” “We sent Moreka Jolar a warning letter in September 1998 in which we outlined the penalties for breaching the Health Professions Act,” Kilthei says. The act defines restricted activities and amongst them are managing labour and delivering a newborn. Only physicians, nurses in hospitals and registered widwives are permitted to perform these procedures. The College claims that Jolar is leaving herself open Continued on A3

City hall rife with division, auditor finds KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Infighting, lack of trust, and a lack of communication between the mayor and council and the mayor and city staff has created a divide at city hall, reveals a governance audit conducted on the city September 4-5. George Cuff, a mayor of Spruce Grove, Alta. for 12 years, conducted the audit, which incorporates feedback from surveys and interviews with all members of council and senior city staff. Cuff ’s report was less than glowing, with the main theme being that “internal issues (at city hall) have festered and grown”. The most glaring

problems, according to Cuff ’s report, are surrounding leadership. “Council has made decisions but sees itself as far apart on the key matters,” writes Cuff in his report. “No team (has) developed – definite division between mayor and council and mayor and staff. Some may be seeing this as a stage on the way to the next election (and) may begin coasting to the end of this term.” Cuff also noted two camps have for med among councillors – with the mayor and Coun. Ron Kerr typically on the opposing side of the rest of council – and that council is “failing to present a united front for the citizens and staff of Campbell River.” Cuff said the mayor

plays a huge role in how the community perceives the city, and he often speaks counter to the will of council. “The mayor’s agenda may be worthwhile but his way of putting it forward has polarized council and the city,” said Cuff, who noted Mayor Walter Jakeway “has made public pronouncements which do not reflect council’s views.” Jakeway said Tuesday morning that he accepts Cuff ’s conclusions. “I would agree with that, it’s certainly his view,” Jakeway said. “It’s certainly an outside view, but I’d say that’s true.” Jakeway said he enjoyed meeting with Cuff and his findings

Mayor Walter Jakeway is seen as a source of polarization at City Hall. are valuable to council. “More than anything, it gives us an idea of how local government in George Cuff ’s world would run,” Jakeway said. “He’s got lots of local government experience and I’m

obviously new at being a politician.” Cuff, in his report, d o e s a ck n ow l e d g e Jakeway “may have been elected without a solid understanding of the rules and limits on his office” but noted he needs to enforce protocol and communicate the policies and decisions of council. Cuff also wrote that Jakeway “seems to view the city as an entity that he is not a part of (and) routinely separates himself from the body of council.” Cuff also addressed Jakeway’s call for a tax revolt last spring to protest council’s 13.6 per cent residential tax increase, noting that Jakeway’s actions may have been to “prove to the public that a different slate of coun-

cillors is needed so as to approve his objectives.” But despite all the problems, there were some bright spots highlighted in the audit. “In spite of the issues facing council, the majority has managed to continue to show support for or assist in moving forward substantial projects that are important for the community, including the upcoming $1.3 billion BC Hydro dam construction, the new $300 million Campbell River hospital, and the creation of new jobs on the former Catalyst pulp mill site,” Cuff said. “A few important initiatives and projects have advanced due in part to council support. One area of agreement and movement has

been downtown revitalization which was identified as a priority. Several major projects are coming to fruition: dam construction, new hospital, seniors’ residence, (and) Seymour Pacific head office.” However, several of those projects can also be credited to the work of city staff, whose interview clips were incorporated into the audit. The results reveal a glimpse into working conditions at city hall. “City hall has been referred to as ‘toxic’ and that senior staff ‘don’t get it.’ Staff have been accused of trying to preserve the bureaucracy at all costs, even manipulating this year’s budget process and that senior staff Continued on A5

Midwife: College ‘has a duty to protect the public’ Continued from A1 to a $2,000 fine and/or six months in jail. “ S h e h a s n e ve r applied to be registered as a midwife and does not call herself one. But, if she thinks that she is avoiding the requirements of the Act by calling herself a traditional birth attendant she is mistaken,” Kilthei says. “The College has a duty to protect the public as well as regulate its members and we are very concerned that Jolar is misrepresenting herself as a primary care giver. It is really important that the public gets the message that these illegal practitioners are putting families at risk. “She is an illegal practitioner and we have grave concerns about her continuing to practise and put mothers and babies at risk.” One of the options open to the College is to seek an injunction under Section 52 of the Health Professions Act that would restrain Jolar’s birthing activities. The allegations have not been proved in any court nor before any tribunal and the the Campbell River Mirror has been unable to reach Jolar for comment. Jolar’s Quadra phone is disconnected. Her Facebook page identifies her as a “Traditional Bir th

Attendant.” Her website, www.morekajolar. com, is inactive. BC Association of Midwives Executive Director Ganga Jolicoeur says the association has alerted area hospitals about Jolar’s lack of status and the authorities are all aware of the problem. Midwives must hold hospital privile ges before they can practice. “When we see something like this it creates concern. We have a responsibility to get the word out to the public.” Jolicoeur says using a registered midwife is a wonderful option

within the bounds of the medical system. Using a supposed birth attendant when there are safe options in the publicly funded health care system is not an option, she adds. Midwives in B.C. spend four years earning a Bachelor of Science degree at the School of Midwifery at UBC and augment their academic work with clinical study placements. Upon graduation they are required to spend six months in an established clinic before venturing on their own. This case arises just as B.C.’s midwives have received a welcome

endorsement from Health Minister Margaret MacDiarmid who is encouraging women with low-risk pregnancies to plan their deliveries at home if that’s what they prefer. The former president of the B.C. Medical Association cites research published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal in 2009 as the safety standard. As long as mothers were screened to be low-risk and assisted by a registered midwife, “there wasn’t any difference between the outcomes for moms and babies whether they were at home or in a hospital,” MacDi-

armid says. Last year, 983 B.C. babies – two per cent of the total – were delivered by midwives at home. Of 783 midwife-assisted births, 140 were home births,

says Luba Lyons Richardson at the Department of Midwifery for Vancouver Island Health Authority. Richardson welcomes the ministry’s decision to earmark $500,000 this

year to fund a second professional – another midwife, nurse or paramedic – required by law to attend home births. The money will pay for about 1,400 planned home births in B.C.

Tidal power studies start with community input BRIAN KIERAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A Nanaimo-based engineering firm that wants to investigate the feasibility of tidal power in this area is starting the process by measuring the ebb and flow of public sentiment. SRM Projects Ltd. has applied for investigative licenses for the purpose of determining the potential for future tidal power projects in south Discovery Passage and Seymour Narrows. Engagement with First Nations and community stakeholders is underway. SRM Principal Scott Merriam says: “We are seeking support from the community for the investigative activities proposed and intend

to address questions and concerns to earn this.” An open house meeting will be held in Campbell River Nov. 22 to provide interested parties with information about the proposed investigative activities. The meeting will be held between 7 p.m. and 8:30 in the Rivercorp boardroom, 900 Alder Street and will begin with a slideshow presentation. “Tidal energ y is a new and emerging source of power, unproven and yet to be commercialized,” Merriam says. “In B.C. we have a significant potential tidal energy resource based on past studies, much of it around Vancouver Island. If we can successfully harness our tidal energy resource

in an environmentally friendly manner, we can add another clean energy source to the B.C. power portfolio and create construction and maintenance jobs, helping to offset declines in traditional resource industries like forestry and fishing.” While the cost of developing tidal power today is typically three or more times that of hydro or wind power, the sector anticipates that these costs will come down during the next decade making it a more economical source of electricity. SRM Projects proposes to investigate what tidal energy is realistically available at each site; what environmental and stakeholder values are important in the areas;

and, confirm if future tidal power projects are viable. The process will include detailed tidal modeling of the sites, deployment of instruments on the ocean bottom to record current speeds, examining the sites to determine what species inhabit the area and the terrain features. The investigative activities are expected to take up to five years to complete. Consultations will determine cultural, commercial and recreational values and gauge community support. “If the preliminary resource assessments are correct, it may be possible to generate commercial power in the proposed investigative areas without noticeable impacts,” Merriam says.

City: Managerial staff ‘laying low’ Continued from A3 cling to their policy documents,” Cuff said. “Most of the senior management is staying out of the way and laying low. It is very difficult to accomplish tasks or move projects forward given the dysfunctionality. “There is a limited appetite to continue to help council when there are constant public beatings.” Cuff said senior management have tried

to avoid mistakes and creating fuel for public criticism by shifting its focus onto operational issues rather than strategic issues (community projects). He also said council and city staff appear fragmented. “There is no appearance of collegiality between the mayor, some members of council, and the city manager, and by extension, limited respect of the professional staff,”

Cuff said. City Manager Andy Laidlaw said the audit could help bridge the gap. “I think council recognizes some of the divisions within council and George Cuff, as an expert, was brought in to work with council,” Laidlaw said. “He indicated some recommendations...in respect to moving forward as a team.” Those recommendations include working

to improve council’s leadership by working together and treating staff with respect; clarifying the role of councillors and the mayor; conducting an operations/gover nance review; and that council begin the budget and financial planning process immediately. Cuff was expected to present his findings in the audit at Tuesday’s council meeting, after the Mirror went to press.

Travelling North Island isn’t cheap BRIAN KIERAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Serving the citizens of a riding that consumes half of Vancouver Island and a swath of the central coast is not cheap. It cost B.C. taxpayers $23,897 to cover the travelling expenses of North Island MLA Claire Trevena for the past six months, but the NDP member says the figure reflects the cost of travelling to outlying settlements as well as trips back and forth to Victoria and around the province in her role as the Opposition critic of the Ministry for Children and Family Development. Trevena says a recent trip to Kingcome Inlet, two and a half hours by boat from Port McNeill, included a $1,100 bill for the water taxi. Last week the North Island MLA was working here in Campbell River on Monday, in Port Hardy on Tuesday, in Alert Bay on Wednesday and on Quadra Island on Thursday. “People often question MLA expenses and quite rightly so. We need to be transparent,” Trevena

told the Mirror after the provincial government released the travel expenses of all MLAs. The release of the information is the result of a scathing report on legislature accounting by Auditor-General John Doyle. In his report Doyle said Legislature accounting was so chaotic that it was impossible to tell if money was being well spent. Trevena’s expenses are more than many of her colleagues and much less than some. The biggest spender was NDP MLA Robin Austin (Skeena) who billed $53,606 followed by Speaker of the Legislature Bill Barisoff (Penticton) whose expenses were $46,410. At the bottom end was Independent MLA Vicki Huntington (Delta South) at $7,739. Others include: Leonard Krog (NDP – Nanaimo) $15,118, Donna Barnett (Lib – Caribou-Chilcotin) $27,732, Mike Farnworth (NDP – Port Coquitlam) $16,767, Pat Pimm (Lib – Peace River North) $37,179 and Katrine Conroy (NDP – Kootenay West) $30,482.

Locked out workers question gas plant’s safety BRIAN KIERAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Locked out employees of Campbell River’s Island Generation Plant say BC Hydro should be alar med about potential safety issues at the natural gas-fired facility. Frank Sputek, vice president of Local 1123 of the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union (CEP), says: “BC Hydro is paying the owner, Capital Power Corporation, $150,000 a day for this facility to be ready to produce and deliver electricity into the B.C. power grid. “Hydro continues to pay that despite the fact that 14 of us are outside and four management personnel are inside. Our concern is for the safe operation of the plant if they try to fire it up.” Sputek says the conditions of Hydro’s Electricity Purchase Agreement with the Alberta-based power

aren’t any next steps,” Williams says. “We are at an impasse.” Williams says he is happy to talk about “process,” but refuses to discuss what issues are keeping the two sides apart. Simpson says: “We haven’t agreed on any wage increases and the employer continues to demand concessions.” Locked out workers at the gate say the company wants to dismantle a savings plan that has been in place since the facility opened in 2000. The company contributes to the unregistered retirement savings plan. Dismantling the plan is not an option, the workers say. At deadline, BC Hydro had not responded to the Mirror’s questions about the status of the utility’s EPA with the Alberta company.

Then we immediately applied for mediation.” “We worked through the weekend to secure a government appointed mediator for Nov. 1,” says CEP National Representative Dave Schaub. “This action allowed us to call off the strike. However, the employer said they were not available until two weeks later.” Simpson says the union’s application for a mediator is still before the Labour Relations Board. The company has a different take on events leading up to its lock out. Capital Power’s chief negotiator Richard Williams tells the Mirror the union was inflexible about meeting dates and that the serving of strike notice forced the company’s hand. “There really

company should allow it to implement a “force majeure” to help end the lock out. A force majeure is a common clause in a contract that frees both parties from their obligations when an extraordinary event occurs. The natural gas plant, the largest power generation facility on the island, is currently in “dispatch mode” which means it is idle but must be capable of generating 275 mega watts of electricity within 24 hours. Sputek says the notion of the four management employees starting up the plant on their own is frightening. Capital Power locked out its 14 employees Oct. 30.

Our View

BC Ferries should copy ICBC’s budget cutting model Does Transportation Minister Mary Polak really believe she can solve BC Ferries’ budget woes by inviting ferry users to attend consultation get-togethers to volunteer ways to slash $23 million out of the budget of the service they depend on? The reality is the minister can save We say: BC millions the moment she finds a way to shed a bunch of ferry corporation Liberals trying executives who have fat salaries and to hide behind fatter pensions. accountability When it comes to cutting fat there is a template to follow. Another agency of government, ICBC, has just announced a significant wave of 250 layoffs that will save the Crown corporation $29 million a year.

ICBC committed publicly in August to trim its topheavy executive branch in response to a government review. The insurance agency did not need to ask the drivers of B.C. to come up with service cuts. The ferry corporation knows exactly which routes and which sailings it wants to eliminate. However, the government has been trying to put accountability distance between itself and the ferry corporation since 2003 when it was transformed from a taxpayer-supported corporation into an entity that could attract private sector investment and adopt a commercial approach to service delivery. The goal was not to create a pricey service with shrinking ridership. The experiment in quasi-privatization failed and

the ferry-using public refused to allow the government to sidestep its responsibility for the service. Strathcona Regional District Director Jim Abram cut through the consultation optics when he dismissed the process as “a complete sham.” Abram says a group of coastal regional district representatives rejected Polak’s consultation proposal three weeks ago. The regional district reps were not given the courtesy of reviewing material ahead of a meeting with government, nor were they even provided an agenda. It was “insulting,” he said. It seems to us the government is about to accomplish the very thing it seeks to avoid; it is turning our ferries into a hot button election issue.

Don’t be duped by story Re: “Salmon farmers put brave face on chilling report” (Mirror, Fri., Nov. 2, 2012) I hope none of your readers are actually duped by the pathetic sob story you’ve published about the poor Salmon farmers. As the environmental movement has been maintaining for years and is now suggested by the $26 million Cohen Commission the Salmon farming industry has caused untold and likely irreversible destruction to our wild fish stocks and environment. Unfortunately, our wild salmon and environment are priceless and can not simply be replaced with money or other wise. Contrary to Campbell River Mayor Walter Jakeway; quoted as saying “We need this industry.” I beg your pardon Mr. Jakeway but we did just fine before the salmon farming industry came. It’s like the salmon farming industry has created a situation that we’re now dependent on. This sounds like the relationship between a drug addict and his pusher in a feeble scenario where the addict eventually dies from use of the pushers product. Has Mayor Walter Jakeway forgotten how vibrant a city Campbell River and many other Continued on A11 We welcome your opinions on stories and issues published in our pages as well as issues of broader concern encountered elsewhere.

The real smart meter manipulation

Tom Fletcher B.C. Views

Two very different scenes unfolded at opposite ends of the province last week. In the remote northwest corner of B.C., the first power line towers started going up to connect Highway 37 communities to the BC Hydro grid. The Nisga’a, Tahltan and other aboriginal communities will soon have reliable power, as well as muchneeded training and jobs during clearing and construction. Meanwhile down on the Gulf Islands, the most hysterical, dishonest campaign against smart meters I’ve heard of so far went into high gear. I’ve obtained a mass e-mail from the head anti-smart meter organizer

on Salt Spring Island that shows the mentality at work here. (Corix is the BC Hydro contractor that has installed more than a million meters and has approached the Gulf Islands with trepidation, the last area of B.C. to be done.) “Corix is attacking with 30 trucks on Mon the 22nd,” Chris Anderson wrote in October. “Poelpe [sic] are advised NOT to attend the Victoria pipeline rally but instead help defend agianst [sic] spymeter installations in their neighbourhoods.” Anderson’s self-appointed supporters fanned out across the island, attempting to turn away installers on the false assumption that everyone has fallen for their crackpot fear

campaign. They managed to stop 12 per cent of the installations. Coincidentally, Anderson has been doing a brisk business selling $35 meter locks to gullible Salt Spring Islanders in recent months. They don’t work, and you’re not allowed to lock BC Hydro property anyway. Others have been sold official-looking “no smart meter” signs that don’t identify the customer, so they don’t work either. As for the term “spymeter,” I’ve reported on the weird theories spread by Bill Vander Zalm in a video interview, where he claims smart meters are part of a global surveillance system that can even tell what you’re cooking. Vander Zalm has been

outdone by one Brian Thiesen, who styles himself as the “chairman” of “Interior Smart Meter Awareness.” In September, the <I>Merritt Herald</I> reported on Thiesen’s presentation to 20 unwary people in a church basement. He claimed wireless meters not only provide video surveillance of your house, they are also responsible for “dying bees” and “defective sperm and eggs” as well as disease and fires. Thiesen even claimed radiofrequency signals can “pull your PIN number directly out of your head.” Is there no limit to the nonsense some people will fall for?

Cohen commision report must be acted upon Filed for publication with the Mirror Dear Premier Christy Clark, Please respect the Cohen Commission’s recommendations and the 26 million taxpayer dollars spent in arriving at them. We refer to recommendations 15 through 20 that deal with siting of fish farms, which the BC Provincial government issues in the way of leases. We specifically refer to recommendations 15 and 18 that state the proximity to migrating Fraser River sockeye should be explicitly considered when siting salmon farms and If at any time between now and September 30, 2020 it is determined that net-pen salmon farms in the Discovery Islands (fish health sub-zone 3-2) pose more than a minimal risk of

serious harm to the health of migrating Fraser River sockeye salmon, they should be promptly ordered to cease operations. Provincial and federal government science proves netpen salmon farms now pose more than a minimal risk of serious harm to the health of migrating Fraser River Sockeye Salmon. In an April 20, 2012 televised interview, provincial veterinarian Dr. Gary Marty confirmed he found the Piscine Reovirus (PRV) in 75 per cent of BC farm salmon he tested. Dr. Marty suggests PRV is not a concern, yet a study published in the April 9, 2012 Veterinary Research Journal titled “Immunohistochemical detection of piscine reovirus (PRV) in hearts of Atlantic salmon coincide with the course of heart and skeletal muscle inflammation (HSMI)”shows

the association between PRV and HSMI and strengthens the hypothesis of PRV being the causative agent of HSMI. On December 15, 2011,DFO scientist Dr. Kristy Miller testified at the Cohen Commission that the PRV virus was detected in a Chinook farm in Clayoquot Sound, as well as, in Fraser Sockeye. PRV was first found in a Norwegian fish farm. A 2010 Public Library of Science publication titled “Heart and Skeletal Muscle Inflammation of Farmed Salmon Is Associated with Infection with a Novel Reovirus” provides evidence that HSMI is associated with infection with piscine reovirus (PRV) and concludes that measures must be taken to control PRV not only because it threatens domestic salmon production but also due to the potential for transmission to wild

salmon populations. Smolts come out of the rivers healthy, but can be subjected to billions of viral particles when migrating past the farms. In August 25, 2011 Cohen Commission testimony, DFO, Dr. Kyle Garver, informed that during a viral outbreak a single salmon farm can release 650 billion infectious viral particles per hour. The study was done on the IHN Virus. The Cohen Commission recommendations must be acted upon immediately with no renewal of fin-fish farm leases in the Discovery Islands, sub-zone 3-2. We request you protect these migration routes as recommended by Justice Cohen. Leona Adams On behalf of the Campbell River Estuary Protection Group

Fletcher: Opposition to smart meters is strong in North America’s marijuana mecca Continued from A8 authored a study that shows residential fires have decreased with the advent of smart meters. Which brings me to the ugliest opposition to this modernization, the criminal element. Here in North Amer-

ica’s marijuana mecca, installers have encountered many meter bypasses, wired up to steal hydro and conceal high consumption for grow ops. In addition to being illegal, they are a fire hazard that is removed when discovered.

Installers also find more sophisticated cases of hydro theft. Removing the mechanical meter reveals a hole cut in the back of the case, so the dials can be turned back to hide a grow op’s power consumption. No wonder some people want

to lock them down. Of course all of this is defeated by a smart grid system, so the g rowers and other crooks are angry. A BC Hydro official told me about one case where a user was told he had a bypass, and that it was being

removed. His bill went from next to nothing to a reasonable level. The customer complained to the media, falsely inflating the amount of his bill and blaming an inaccurate smart meter. tfletcher@ blackpress.ca

Salmon: Government, industry had their chance Continued from A8

coastal communities were before the salmon decline? The jobs created by the salmon farming industry are but a fraction of what the commercial wild salmon industry used to provide to the economy before salmon farming appeared and began destroying it. And that’s just the commercial fishery. The sport sector and tourism is touted by B.C. as paramount and world class and contributes significantly to our economy. Why not give tourists something to boast about instead of us having to give embarrassing whining excuses about our stocks in decline? Mayor Jakeway says, “We need to let the industry grow and if there are problems solve them.” Mr. Jakeway doesn’t understand natural laws are being broken with salmon farming by densely populating carnivores in pens, and there is no right way to do the wrong thing. BCSFA board member Clare Backman states “Our members are committed to farming responsibly.”

Cohen’s re por t proves these sort of statements from the salmon farming industry are worthless. This industry has had its chance to play clean, to be responsible and ethical, they chose not to and have destroyed our wild stocks and environment. This loathsome behaviour demonstrates who we are dealing with. We’ve now learned from this solely “profit at any cost” oriented industry that they are not trust worthy and certainly not deserving to continue practising in this country. Clare Backman also states, “There is no science of fish farm harm.” The fact that BCSFA is maintaining their position of deceit, confusion and pseudo science with the public with statements like this proves the salmon farming industry has learned nothing from all this and are as unethical and devious as ever. Clare Backman goes on to say, “We see this as an opportunity to work with the federal government, the regulators and the NGOs (non-gover nmental organizations) to satisfy those concerns.”

T h e B C S FA h a s known full well what the “concerns” are all along and the fact they want to “work with regulators and the NGOs” is actually just a camouflaged, negotiate to input minimal effort “to satisfy”, so they can maintain profits. This proves who we’re dealing with. This industry has had its chance and they’ve squandered it. BCSFA board member, Stewart Hawthorn, said: “We are committed to protecting the marine environment and our iconic wild salmon and we support the call for further research” The reality is the research has been done & conclusion is SF is destructive. This is simply more deceit & an old stall tactic. If this industry truly wants to operate in a way that protects our wild stocks & environment they need to move the farms on to land in closed containment which they’ve repeatedly told us they do not want because its too expensive and is unprofitable. B.C. Ag riculture Minister Norm Letnick said the government will review Cohen’s report closely. He said the province

MOVEMBER 2X3 2X3 Prostate Cancer Awareness

Prostate cancer is one of the most controversial cancers in both diagnosis and treatment.

MOVEMBER MOVEMBER

wants to ensure there is a healthy sockeye salmon run and to play whatever role it can “to make that happen.” The various government departments and salmon farming industry had their chance long ago to make this work and they blew it. Instead they chose to deceive the public, destroy the environment and cover their tracks. Canadians and B.C. citizens especially are fed up with this industry. They’ve caused untold damage its now time for them to pack up and And if any one believes this industry is a way to feed the worlds starving masses, this is not the industry that will ever do it. The energy inputs, intensive management and fishing down the worlds stocks of “forage fish” (Herring, Anchovies, Sardines) to turn into feed pellets and multitude of other secondary environmental damages caused, makes this product unsustainable. We owe this industry nothing. In fact it owes Canadians uncountable compensation. Paul Dean, Vancouver

Seniors Centre needs you Prior to early in the year 2009, there was no Seniors’ Centre in Campbell River. It was one of the few municipalities in British Columbia, of this size, without a dedicated centre for its senior citizens. In a short while, a small handful of interested participants were meeting at various coffee houses to try to establish a seniors’ centre in Campbell River. The first meeting of the Campbell River Seniors’ Centre took place on Friday, March 5, 2009. The membership started to grow as word spread about our society. Early in 2010, the first Annual General Meeting was held and a new Board of Directors was elected by more than one hundred members who were in attendance. The new Board spent much of its time trying to obtain a location with more space which could be used daily. The Campbell River Seniors’ Centre opened for the first time in its present location in the Ironwood Mall on July 1, 2010. There have been numerous changes to the Board of Directors since 2010. As our year is drawing to a close, I would like to make an earnest plea to all citizens of Campbell River who are 55 years of age or older to consider if you are able

to make a contribution to your community by becoming involved with the Seniors’ Centre Society as a Member of the Board of Directors, either in an executive position or as a Board Member at large, or, perhaps, as a volunteer. The Society operates completely on a volunteer basis, without a single paid worker, yet provides a much needed service to the citizens of Campbell River. If you have had experience working on a board of directors or have had involvement as a member of a benevolent service club, this would be an asset. However, all interested candidates will be considered. This is all you have to do to become a candidate: 1) Become a member of the Campbell River Seniors’ Society at $15 per year. 2) Have a member nominate you, in written form, for a position. 3) Be prepared to work hard to further the goals of the Society to establish the best Centre possible. All those nominated may run for the following positions at the Annual General Meeting in January, 2013: president, vice president, treasurer, secretary, eight members at large Bruno Fornika Nominating Committee Chairman

Province says Jobs City faces early deadline for budget Plan ‘on track’ KRISTEN DOUGLAS

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Even with the loss of 10,900 jobs in October, the province remains on track to meet its BC Jobs Plan targets., the government said in a press release. B.C.’s job numbers declined for the month but kept pace with the overall job figures across the country. “The B.C. Jobs Plan is all about building a foundation. It’s about putting in place the skills required for tomorrow and building on our investments to grow the economy,” said Pat Bell, Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training and Minister Responsible for Labour. “There are bound to be fluctuations in the monthly jobs numbers but our focus remains steady economic growth by continuing to invest in a skilled workforce.” Since the Jobs Plan was released, B.C.

ranks third compared to other provinces, behind Quebec (gained 55,200 jobs) and Alberta (gained 50,400 jobs). Since February 2011, B.C. has added 56,500 jobs. (In February 2011, there were 2,260,900 jobs.) B.C. has gained 70,800 full-time positions, offset by a loss of 14,100 part-time positions. (In February 2011, there were 1,741,900 full-time jobs). B.C.’s labour force decreased by 18,600 people in October and now stands at 2,484,800. Compared with 14 months ago, B.C.’s labour force has increased by 31,100 people. B.C.’s unemployment rate of 6.7 per cent is down from September’s rate of 7.0 per cent and is 0.1 of a percentage point higher than October 2011’s rate of 6.6 per

cent. B.C. has Canada’s fourth-lowest unemployment rate. Alberta (4.5 per cent), Saskatchewan (4.7 per cent) and Manitoba (5.6 per cent) have lower unemployment rates. The unemployment rate for youth (15 to 24 years of age) was recorded at 13.4 per cent, down by 0.6 percentage points from September. In October 2011, the youth unemployment rate was recorded at 12.7 per cent. Last month strong gains were recorded in finance, insurance, real estate and leasing (+10,300 jobs), other services (+8,000 jobs), information, culture and recreation (+5,000 jobs) and construction (+3,200 jobs). Quick Facts: * When the Jobs Plan was released, 2,270,900 people were employed in the

province. As of today, 2,317,400 people are employed in the province. The difference is 46,500 more people working. * When the Jobs Plan was released, 1,746,700 people were employed in fulltime positions in the province. As of today, 1,812,700 people are employed in full-time positions. The difference is 66,000 more people in full-time positions. * When the Jobs Plan was released the unemployment rate in the province was 7.4 per cent. As of today, the unemployment rate is 6.7 per cent, below the national average of 7.4 per cent. * Since February of 2011, B.C. has added 56,500 jobs. Learn More: http://www.bcjobsplan.ca

City council is about to tackle its second budget in one year. That’s because financial planning for next year’s city budget will start earlier this year than it has in the past. Typically, council begins to form the budget in March. Last year, financial planning meetings began in early February. This year, budget planning for 2013 is set to begin in December. “As discussed at the strategic planning session on October 11 and 12, the financial planning (budget) process will occur in a different manner than 2012,” said Laura Ciarniello, the city’s general manager of corporate services, in a report to council. “The first items to be addressed will be the base budget. “The deliberations will be based on a replica of the services provided to the citizens in 2012. Council will be provided with reports which detail a comparison of the 2012 approved base budget to the projected 2013 base budget.” Council is scheduled to debate the base budget during two threehour sessions on December 3 and 4, with a final resolution adopted by council at its Dec. 4 council meet-

ing. Mayor Walter Jakeway had been advocating for an earlier start to city budget planning since council adopted this year’s 13.6 per cent residential property tax increase April 24. “I only hope and pray it’ll be done differently in 2013,” Jakeway said shortly after the April council meeting came to an end. “I expect city staff should bring a balanced budget to us in December.” Jakeway said Tuesday morning he suggested council have financial planning wrapped up before the new year. “It should be done by the end of the year or staff don’t have the time to implement it,” Jakeway said. “I”m not sure we’ll get it all done, but I’m hopeful.” According to Ciarniello’s report, it appears city staff are fairly confident it can’t be done by the end of December. The second phase of the budget, which covers capital projects, is slated to be debated the week of January 14 while the last part of the budget, which will cover any service level changes and tax rates, is scheduled for the week of February 24. Specific times will be discussed among council as the dates get closer.

Bettis, Normand Albert

August 10, 1931-October 31, 2012 Normand Albert Bettis passed away October 31, 2012 at Campbell River General Hospital after a lengthy battle with cancer. He was predeceased by parents, Albert and Florence Bettis, brother Charlie Bettis and son Terry Bettis. Normand leaves behind his wife of 59 years, Betty Bettis, son Edward Bettis and daughter Susan Kowbel. He also leaves behind four grandchildren, Dwayne Ludlow, Bobby Ludlow, Carley Bettis, Cassidy Bettis, seven great grandchildren, four nephews and two nieces. He also leaves behind his two furry companions, Suzy and Timmy. Normand was born in Vancouver and at the age of six moved with his family to Wellbore Channel. He then moved to Blind Channel where he went to school. In his younger years he went hand logging, booming and Âżshing. He married Betty Chadwick July 4th, 1953. They continued to live up the coast where he went commercial Âżshing. In 1961 they moved to Quadra Island where they lived for forty years and raised their children. In 2001 they decided to move to Campbell River to be closer to their children and their grandchildren. After retirement Normand enjoyed all of his new found hobbies. He and his wife spent many weeks camping and Âżshing at Loveland Bay. To his familyâ€™s surprise he took up gardening of which they received the beneÂżts of the vegetables and Ă€owers. He also started raising mason bees for his garden and friends. Due to his Âżne carpentry skills family members received bowls and tables handmade by Normand. He also built a scale model of his Âżnal Âżshing boat the Canadian Lady. Normand spent many Fridays at Banners having lunch with his two friends Lawrence and Gerry. The family wishes to thank the 3rd Ă€oor nurses for all the special care and attention given to Normand in his Âżnal days. We also would like to thank Dr. de Bruin, Dr. Kask, the Cancer clinic and the ambulance service for all of their support and care. Also, we would like to thank all of the friends who were there for Normand and his family. A celebration of his life will be held November 8, 2012 1:00 p.m. at the Elk Falls Cremation and Reception Centre. In lieu of Ă€owers donations may be made to the SPCA or the Cancer society.

Deal to reopen Cortes library on the books KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Take the survey and you could win, we said Well, Dave McKee, right, took the Campbell River Mirror’s survey and he did win a Sony 46 inch high defintion TV valued at $750 from Sears. Sears manager Norm Potoski presented the TV to McKee. Response to the survey was excellent and the information will help the Mirror know keep you better informed and connected.

Vancouver Island Regional Library has resolved outstanding issues surrounding a lease agreement to get the library on Cortes Island back up and running. Cortes Islanders have been without a library since May 4 when the Vancouver Island Re g i o n a l L i b r a r y (VIRL) unexpectedly shut down the library in Manson’s Hall, citing safety concerns with the mezzanine. VIRL issued a Request for Proposals in June, after talks with the Southern Cortes Community Association to find a temporary location for the library broke down.

District to re-zone its property to fit with the intended use. “We’ve resolved the issues identified in the news release,” she said. “We are now waiting for the rezoning application process to complete. We expect this may take until early 2013.” Ronna-Rae Leonard, chair of the board of trustees for VIRL, said all parties want to move forward with getting a proper building up and running. For the past few months, Cortes islanders have only been able to check out books via VIRL’s online system. A temporary holds location has been set up for customers to return and pick up requested materials. “I know all residents of Cortes Island are as eager as the staff and board of Vancouver Island Regional Library for a new library on Cor tes Island,” Leonard said in a news release. “The Linnaea Farm Society will now seek the approval of the Strathcona Regional District to re-zone the land so a library can be established within the former Linnaea School.”

The Request for Proposals asked potential bidders for a 660-2,750 square foot space as a long-term solution for library services. The Linnaea Farm Society on Cortes was the only respondent and the VIRL board of trustees voted Sept. 15 to enter into an intent to lease agreement with the society. However, the lease agreement was subject to resolving issues surrounding floor loading, access for people with disabilities, and legal use as a library. Joy Adams Bauer, spokesperson for VIRL, said Monday that the regional library has now worked out those details and the Linnaea Farm Society has already applied to the Strathcona Regional

Runners power through ice, snow Hurricane blows through Juan de Fuca

Five athletes from C a m p b e l l R ive r headed up to Prince George for the 2012 B.C. High School Provincial Cross Country Championships this weekend. After a foot of snow and temperatures of -12 degrees Celsius a few days before the race, students were prepared for unusual race conditions. Fortunately, by Saturday morning, temperatures had risen to just above freezing and the course crew had done its best to clear the snow. The race course included a stee p, muddy, slick downhill and a steep uphill with mostly compacted snow. There were a few sections with deep slush. The girls ran two loops for a total of 4.3 kilometres while the boys ran three loops for a total of 6.3 km. On the boy’s side of the competition, Haven Ullstrom from Timberline placed twenty-eighth out of 264 boys running. Fo r t h e g i rl s, Jo a n n a Wi l l i a m s from Campbell River Christian School was the fastest girl north of Nanaimo, placing twenty-seventh out of 251 girls.

It appears the Hurricane that hit the North Island two weeks ago moved south last weekend, picking up speed in the later afternoon. The Campbell River Hur ricane Bantam girls were on the road Sunday to play the Juan de Fuca girls at Westhills arena in Langford. The home side opened up the scoring in the first period with a quick goal that got the home crowd roaring. The Campbell River girls held Juan de Fuca to the single goal for a full period and a half of play with strong goaltending by Jadylin Spooner and solid defence by Alyssa Palmer, Carrissa Jochimski, Miaya Cramb and Jessica Grant before the flood gates opened. The Campbell River side bounced back offensively late in the second period with three quick goals from Cassidy Bellavance, Haley Hunter and Kylie Scammell with assists going to Rebecca Manson and Kate Johnson. This surge by the

Campbell River girls quieted the Juan de Fuca fans. The third period opened with an early goal from the Hurricane’s Lisa Lloyd who made a rush from the defensive zone and beat the goalie with a quick wrist shot. Rylee Nelson netted the fifth unanswered goal at the nine minute mark of the third. The Juan de Fuca team was not ready to give up in their home rink and answered with an unassisted goal from Emma Weston but it was the Hurricane’s Bellavance who crushed the comeback with a top shelf goal off a pass from Scammell to seal the game at 6-2 final. The Hurricanes are off to a 2-0 record and coaches Dennis Bellavance and Guy Germyn were pleased with the girl’s efforts despite a bit of a slow start. They were especially pleased with the gritty play of Rebecca Mason and Julia Mercer that kept them in the game before the scoring began to open up.

Rage mount ‘have-to-see-it-to-believe-it’ comeback The North Island Rage U16 field lacrosse team, sponsored by Saratoga Ventures, played a double header against Nanaimo last weekend. The two teams are sporting almost identical records and each team was anxious to dominate on the turf. The Rage had the momentum early and speedy Nathan Hoff made an end-to-end run to score with a big stick to get North Island on the board. Jordan Balon fed

Evans took one for the team while setting up Ryan Smith’s goal, then scored four in a row. Tanner Jones scored three goals, all through the five hole. Balon and Smith ran a give-andgo that resulted in the Rage’s 12th and final goal for a 12-9 win. Game two had a completely different look, with Nanaimo winning three consecutive faceoffs and scoring three times before North Island had touched the ball. Evans has been qui-

a nice pass to Alec Molander on which he capitalized and the score was 3-2 Nanaimo at the end of the first quarter. The Rage’s Alex Kussauer, Lucas Marriot Spencer and Jory Clermont took control in the midfield in the second quarter and North Island regained the lead and didn’t relinquish it for the rest of the game. Molander showed his dexterity on his second goal, putting it in from behind the goalline. Graham

Cyber bullying fighter launches local ‘Teenangels’ BRIAN KIERAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

hen New Yorker Parry Aftab arrived at a Carihi’s student assembly Monday she said she wanted to create a “cyber army” to combat bullying. An hour later she had started a movement of highly motivated “Teenangels.” “This is going to become a huge movement,” North America’s best known cyber bullying authority told the students gathered around her. Referring to the suicide death of Coquitlam teen Amanda Todd, she said: “I don’t want B.C. to be remembered as a place that harassed a girl to her death. We’re going to have B.C. remembered as a place that empowers young people to change the world.” That empower-

Most of Aftab’s interactive presentation about cyber bullying revolved around the Amanda Todd suicide. “Why do we care about Amanda?” she asked students. They responded “because bullying doesn’t go away,” because it scars for life.” She asked “how many things went wrong” in Amanda’s case? The students responded: “She showed her breasts online; those images were transferred...”
