Streamkeepers happily go up the creek without a paddle KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

ust off the side of the highway Dave Cunning is trolling for fish. But there’s no boat or bait involved. Instead, Cunning is using his bare hands and wading through Simms Creek to take down the daily fish count at the fence he checks every single day. The fence is one of three in Campbell River streams – Simms, Woods, and Casey creeks – that exist to help local streamkeepers keep track of seasonal fish stocks. They were all built by Campbell River’s Grant Erickson. The fences “determine that we’re getting returns,” says Bob Tonkin, one of the Simms Creek streamkeepers. “Some come back

depth,” Tonkin says. “Last year the water was so high we had to pull the gates because it was eroding the banks. Then we don’t get a fish count.” The number of fish passing through urban Simms Creek, which runs right through the city, has also been slightly dwindling over the past few years. This fall’s fish counts (reported at the end of this story) are average compared to the last couple of years but the numbers have been better. “We used to have more fish a few years

ago apparently but development denigrates the environment,” Tonkin says. “The Beaver Lodge Lands have been a saviour for this creek because there’s no development (permitted) in it. It helps a lot.” The fence on Simms Creek is just off the upgraded section of the Old Island Highway between Hilchey and Forberg roads. The fence temporarily thwarts the salmon from swimming up stream and instead directs them into a rectangular shaped trap where

Cunning counts the fish, measures them, determines whether they’re male or female and what species they belong to and then releases the fish to continue on their way upstream. On Simms Creek, the volunteer stream keepers (Cunning is paid) use a different fence, depending on the season. “In the spring it’s a different fence, to count the smolt and immature salmon going into the ocean,” Tonkin says. “It comes out in (the fall). The spring one is only in for about a month because there’s nothing moving other than resident fish throughout the rest of the year.” The fall fence was put up Oct. 13 this year to monitor the number of salmon returning to spawn. “The coho come up, they spawn and the eggs hatch in the spring,” Tonkin says. “They become fry and they stay in Simms Creek for one year and the following spring they go back to the ocean as smolts. With chum, pink and chinooks, once they hatch out they go immediately to the ocean.”

Cunning said the streamkeepers run a good program that keep all the volunteers busy. Cunning himself monitors Simms Creek at least once a day, 365 days a week. During his check ups he measures the depth of the water, the air and water temperature, and conducts a water quality check which involves measuring the pH levels and the amount of total dissolved solids. Then there’s the task of keeping the fences clear of debris. “We’ve had more stuff on this fence than you could shake a stick at,” Cunning says. “Bicycles, kids toys, dead deer – you name it.” Still, Cunning is dedicated and happily jumps in the water, wading around trolling for fish. 2012 Fall fish count in Simms Creek: ■ Coho jack-4 ■ Coho male-3 ■ Coho female-8 ■ Chum male-4 ■ Chum female-2 ■ Chinook male-1 ■ Chinook female-0 ■ Cutthroat trout-1 In Woods Creek: ■ Coho male-10 ■ Coho female-10 ■ Coho jacks-2

Early start to budget acrimony

Quadra Islanders to debate tidal power

KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Council will start next year’s budget planning early but it’s not early enough, according to a consultant who recently had Campbell River city hall under the microscope. Council endorsed a city staff recommendation at the Nov. 6 council meeting to start financial planning meetings for the 2013 city budget in December. The base budget, a replica of services the city provided in 2012, is expected to be debated Dec. 3 and 4. By comparison, budget planning meetings for this year started in late January and the year before, financial planning took place over one week in March. But George Cuff, the

author of a governance audit conducted at city hall in early September, said December is still not early enough to start budget planning. “I would say on a normal basis the budget for the following year should be adopted by the end of November at the latest and that the budget not be allowed to move into the next year before it’s adopted,” said Cuff, who spoke to council Nov. 6 to present his findings. “So the budget for 2013 should be right now in the process of revisions and adoption.” But it’s not. Cuff recommended senior management at city hall prepare the budget immediately but that recommendation was not released to staff and council

until the middle of September. Though the budget is nowhere near ready for adoption as Cuff suggests, Coun. Andy Adams, who has the finance portfolio, said having budget discussions moved up even two months early will be beneficial. “By doing the base budget before the end of the calendar year it provides staff with the green light to move forward,” Adams said. “In the past, councils have been finalizing the budgets in March. Staff having to move forward with fiscal operations when we’re halfway through the year is not a prudent thing to do. “You’re already a quarter of the way t h ro u g h t h e ye a r before you know what you have to work with.

Quadra residents will get an opportunity this month to discuss the merits and liabilities of tidal power in the channels that course by their island. Nanaimo-based SRM Projects Ltd. has applied for investigative licenses for the purpose of determining the potential for tidal power in south Discovery Passage and Seymour Narrows. News of the initiative prompted Strathcona Regional District Director and Quadra resident Jim Abram to challenge the wisdom of introducing tidal power generation projects in the waters around Quadra. He also questioned why SRM was holding a public consultation

It just doesn’t work well.” Council is also proposing to start it’s capital budget in early January which will allow the city to prepare Request for Proposals for city projects contracted out before construction season begins. Adams said it will help the city avoid higher price ta gs because its “late coming out of the gate and companies have already committed themselves to other projects.” The final part of the budget – service enhancements and new or expanded projects – is scheduled for debate the week of Feb. 24. “That will put council in a good position to see what property tax levels will be and see what services we can do,” Adams said.

Aquarium society likes Discovery Pier location KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A local group working to open a public aquarium in Campbell River announced this week it has selected a location for the facility. Discovery Passage SeaLife Society, which purchased Ucluelet’s former aquarium earlier this year, wants to re-locate the building and set up shop at the pier. Sandra Millig an, society director, said the organization has narrowed its selection down to two spots – either on top of the cement ramp to the left of the staircase up to the pier (which would still leave one ramp on the right) or in the grassy patch to the left of the stairs. “The site that we’ve all looked at and agreed upon is right at the Discovery Pier entrance and we’re here tonight to ask for approval of installation of the aquarium at this site,” Milligan said during

Tuesday night’s council meeting. The request was made to ensure the society is covered no matter which location it chooses. If the aquarium goes on the ramp, it will be sitting on city-owned land and will therefore need city approval but if it’s installed on the grassy patch, it will be on Campbell River Harbour Authority land. Milligan said the society would like to work out a five-year, $5 per year lease agreement which would be similar to what landlords offer other public aquariums on the Island. C a m p b e l l R ive r became the owner of an aquarium after Discovery Passage SeaLife Society, with a generous donation from the Noon Hour Rotary Club, scooped up Ucluelet’s old 16 x 48 foot facility which opened in that community in 2004. Ucluelet purchased a new aquarium on June 1 of this year, leaving the

old one up for grabs. The building comes with all of the pumps and equipment needed to run the aquarium and needs to be on waterfront property in order to pump salt water into the tanks. The aquarium will likely include a touch tank and educational programs. It will also show what Campbell River has to offer. “For us in Campbell River of course it’s always great to show-

case our assets,” Milligan said. “We know Campbell River is an excellent scuba diving location and a public aquarium allows us to bring those assets up from the sea to the surface for everybody to enjoy.” Milligan said the society would like to partner with School District 72 as well as North Island College to provide unique learning programs for local students. She figures

the aquarium will also help boost tourism and the local economy. “In Ucluelet, in the very first year of operation they saw some 10,000 visitors,” Milligan said. “We know that a visitor to Campbell River spends on average $76 a day in town so we see this can generate a good deal of cash for our community.” In Sidney (east of Victoria), the Shaw Ocean Discovery Cen-

tre which opened in 2009, attracted 200,000 visitors in its first year and a half of operations and is now the third most popular attraction on Vancouver Island, Milligan said. Sensing an opportunity, Milligan first spoke to council in June and subsequently received approval for her proposal. Since then Millig an has been meeting with city staff on an ongoing basis to secure a location. She said selecting the

exact spot will come down to the siting of utilities. “Utilities will likely constrain where we place the building,” Milligan said. “ ( T h e r e ’s ) a f i r e hydrant, hydro box, storm water drains and various Telus and hydro lines are running underground,” she said. Next steps include securing a building permit and development permits from the city. City staff will also be preparing a report for council outlining aquarium siting options and impacts.

also cause a partial collapse of B.C.’s estimated $7-billion-a-year illegal pot industry, as growers relocate to the U.S. to avoid the need to smuggle. Recently, the Union of B.C. Municipalities passed a resolution calling for marijuana to be decriminalized. They’d rather pot be regulated and taxed instead, much like alcohol. The U.S. votes are a progressive move toward responsible marijuana use. It’s time for B.C. to take a similar step toward decriminalization, if not legalization of marijuana. The potential tax revenue and the opportunity to reduce law enforcement costs, and help unclog our court system is too much to pass up. The poll results south of the border sent a message that U.S. drug policies are not working. As Canada’s

drug policies follow the U.S. closely, it means ours aren’t working either – it’s time for a change. Sensible B.C. wants to follow in the footsteps of both Washington campaigners and B.C.’s successful antiHST drive. The group aims to get enough signatures on a petition to force a provincial referendum on marijuana decriminalization, through B.C.’s Recall and Initiative Act. The proposed Sensible Policing Act would block B.C. police from spending time or resources on searches, seizures or arrests for simple cannabis possession. It’s time we take our antiquated marijuana laws and follow the lead of our neighbours to the south and let the people decide if it’s time for a change. – Black Press

Letters

Data corrected but point remains The Nov. 8 Mirror included a letter that I wrote. I estimated how long it would take the IHN virus produced by all the salmon in an infected farm to fill a single sockeye salmon egg. My calculations were wrong. The IHN virus is small, but not that small. It would take about four days [not 11,000 years] for the infected farm to fill an egg with the IHN virus. I apologize for the error. However, the important point remains. Sockeye salmon smolts in seawater are resistant to the IHN virus. Based on published research, I estimate that sockeye salmon smolts would be safer inside an IHNVinfected salmon pen (four per cent mortality over 37 days) than in the open ocean (50 per cent mortality in just 24 days). Also, IHN outbreaks among farm salmon are rare. Since 2003, only one salmon farm has been diagnosed with IHN during smolt migration, and that farm was on the west side of Vancouver Island, far from most migrating Fraser River sockeye salmon.

Salmon mystery far from solved by commission

Tom Fletcher B.C. Views

Before the 1,200-page, $25-million Cohen Commission report on the Fraser River sockeye salmon fishery slips beneath the waves, allow me to dip my toe into the river of data that has flowed by in the past three years. If your information on this hugely complex subject consisted of skimming a few news stories or watching protesters on TV, you will likely conclude what urban people have been indoctrinated with for years. The whole issue is salmon farms and whether they are bad or catastrophic. “Freeze new salmon farms on sockeye migration route: Cohen” said the headline on a Black Press report. Those who read past the headline

would learn that Justice Bruce Cohen recommended a freeze on further salmon farms around the Discovery Islands group near Campbell River until 2020. It’s up to the industry to show by that time that the risk is “minimal,” or farms there should be shut down. A B.C. Salmon Farming Association spokesman said only nine of 70 B.C. salmon farms are in that area. There are no current applications for more. Let’s say you decide to plunge in, and download the full report from www.cohencommission.ca. If you go to Volume 2, page 102, you will see a series of graphs that show sockeye runs from rivers other than the Fraser, from Washington all the way

up to Alaska. It’s not a pretty sight. From Washington up to the Central Coast, the Skeena, Nass and up to Yukon’s Klukshu and Alaska’s Alsek, most runs show a decline starting in the 1980s or early 1990s. This includes runs that migrate down the west side of Vancouver Island, away from salmon farms. Alaska doesn’t allow farms, preferring “ranching” – a strategy that floods the ocean habitat with millions of hatchery fish. These are commercially fished and marketed as “wild.” B.C.’s North Coast has never had salmon farms. The area has been subject to a moratorium since an NDPcontrolled legislative committee gave

its verdict on the problem in 2008. The popular villain in those days was sea lice. Skeena MLA Robin Austin chaired the committee that called for an end to open-pen salmon farms in five years. Then-agriculture minister Pat Bell approved one NDP recommendation, a moratorium on salmon farms in North Coast waters. This was after the Pacific Salmon Forum conducted its own four-year study, led by former fisheries minister John Fraser. Similar to Cohen, Fraser concluded that there is no simple answer to this complex problem. And they agreed that salmon farms don’t explain it. Cohen’s report makes it clear that the problem is far larger than could posContinued on A9

Drunk hits fast food wall A drunk who couldn’t navigate the drive through lane at a local fast food restaurant had his vehicle impounded last week. It was just one of 10 drinking and driving offences in a busy week for the RCMP. RCMP Staff Sergeant Troy Beauregard reports that a small fourdoor blue car carrying four intoxicated males was experiencing difficulties navigating the drive through and collided with the building a number of times on Nov. 7. The driver was given a 90-day Immediate Roadside Prohibition and the vehicle impounded. It was one of 254 calls for service last week including four impaired driving charges, four 90-day Immediate Roadside Prohibitions and two 24-hour

POLICE BEAT roadside suspensions. Police also responded to a domestic dispute on Lewis Road. It is alleged that a male assaulted his female companion, made threats and destroyed property in the home. The male was located and arrested without incident. He was released the following day to appear in court with numerous conditions, including no contact with the victim. The day of his release the male breached those conditions by going to the residence. He was located and held for court. Beauregard also reports that in less

than a month there have been three thefts of dirt bikes in the Campbell River area along with one in the Comox Valley. The thefts are occurring throughout the area rather than one specific location. The thieves are targeting dirt bikes in carports and back yards and in the Comox incident the dirt bike was stolen out of the back of a truck. The incidents have been occurring during dark but not necessarily overnight. The police say there has been an increase in Graffiti in the Willow Point area. The majority of the tagging has been at a business on the South Island Highway and the Willow Point School. The tagging is considered related. Anyone with information is asked to contact the RCMP.

sibly be explained by salmon farms. How about logging impact? Cohen concludes after much testimony that stream protection has improved significantly during the time of observed sockeye decline. Impact from extra runoff due to pine beetle infestation couldn’t be evaluated. Poaching on the Fraser? Cohen didn’t get around to that. His biggest concern was climate change, warming sensitive river waters and affecting ocean conditions. During the Cohen commission hearings, the 2010 Fraser sockeye run came in gangbusters, with 35 million fish. One leading theory is that ash from an Alaska volcano fertilized the ocean, producing algae that supported more salmon feed. Could it be that salmon ranching from Alaska, Japan and elsewhere is simply depleting the food supply? That too is inconclusive. Finally, Tides Canada, a U.S. front group that diverts attention from U.S. salmon and oil tankers, spent $25,000 to publicize Cohen evidence. But only as it relates to B.C. salmon farms, and how bad they are. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com tfletcher@blackpress.ca

B.C. jobs scene just keeps trucking on Job seekers are in luck when it comes to the commercial road transportation industry in British Columbia. Trucking companies throughout BC require professional drivers, mechanics, dispatchers and operations staff right now, which means that job seekers with experience and/or training may find work within their preferred region. For those considering training prior to joining the workforce, demand for skilled workers in the industry is likely to grow – to 2020 and beyond. There are a number of reasons for this. For truck drivers, the industry is facing a North America-wide shortage because most are 45 years of age or older and nearing retirement (in fact, in Canada, according to a report by the Canada Trucking Human Resources Council, 58 percent of long-haul truck drivers fall in this age range).

Similar shortages exist for other jobs, including diesel engine and heavy duty mechanics. Aside from worker shortages, economic growth in the AsiaPacific Gateway is also driving demand for workers in transportation. This applies not only to companies in the Lower Mainland, but in other regions as well, since the AsiaPacific “Gateway” is actually made up of an integrated supply chain of airports, seaports, rail and road connections, and border crossings, from Prince Rupert to Surrey, with links supplied by trucking. Today’s trucking industry is an exciting place to be. Equipment in many companies is state of the art, meaning increased comfort and ease for drivers and opportunities for mechanics to work with technologically advanced systems, keeping both their

Others on the operations side also use

drivers. Those who like the idea of travelling across Canada or North America can become long-haul drivers for an employer or work as owneroperators. Drivers may haul consumer goods, fuel, logs, heavy-duty equipment, livestock – most of what we purchase or consume spent some time on the road with a commercial truck! If you already have experience as a driver, mechanic or operations worker, most companies advertise jobs on their own websites. Members of the BC Trucking Association from across the province may post jobs under Careers onwww.bctrucking. com, and the provincial and federal governments maintain job sites at WorkBC (http://www.workbc. ca/Jobs/) and Working in Canada (http:// www.workingincanada.gc.ca/ - choose to

If you’d like to enter the industry but need training, there are also many avenues to explore. Although there is not a standard training course for professional drivers, there are numerous private schools throughout BC that offer programs.

City eyes hosting Island conflab KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The city has its eye on hosting 51 local governments at one of the largest conventions staged annually across coastal B.C. Council endorsed applying to host the Association of Vancouver Island and Coastal Communities in either 2015 or 2016 in an effort to showcase Campbell River to several other local governments. “As hosts the City of Campbell River would be responsible to provide meeting facilities to AVICC including venues, set-up and janitorial services,” said Tracy Bate, deputy city clerk, in a report to council. It would also be responsible for accommodating up to 250-275 delegates. The only facilities large enough to hold that many people are

the Community Centre or the Sportsplex. Bate said that she expects both would be needed in order to host the conference and the banquet. AVICC, the longestestablished area association under the umbrella of the Union of B.C. Municipalities (UBCM), holds an annual convention to “deal with issues and concerns that affect large urban areas to small rural communities,” Bate said. City staff estimate that the cost to hold the convention would be up to $12,000 for staff time, meeting facilities, decorations, gifts for speakers, as well as a $1,600 contingency fund for any unexpected costs. Coun. Ryan Mennie said his only concern is over crowing in the city. “At the same time I think this is a fantas-

tic idea, I hate to think of the logistics of 2015 or 2016 and the Hydro project (at John Hart Generating Station) and the new hospital project will be well underway,” Mennie said. “I wonder what the onus would be on us to provide accommodation?” Coun. Claire Moglove, a director-atlarge for AVICC, said it shouldn’t be a problem. “It would require three nights accommodation in April,” Moglove said. “We will have the space available albeit we will be very busy with those other projects going on.” In the end, council voted unanimously to have city staff submit an application for Campbell River to host the AVICC annual convention in either 2015 or 2016.

Road closures at Hart Dam Road closures are scheduled this month as BC Hydro conducts maintenance and testing of the three spillways gates at John Hart Dam. BC Hydro spokesman Stephen Watson says to safely complete the work requires four days of road closures to move equipment along the top of the dam. Crews will be completing the annual work from Nov. 19 to 30. Traffic control will be in place over the two week period with single-lane alternating traffic on Brewster Lake Road. The road across the dam will be closed on Nov. 20, 22, 26, and 28, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Access to Elk Falls Provincial Park will be maintained off Highway 28. BC Hydro tests the gates and maintains them each year

Greyhound cuts will cost local jobs KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The union representing Greyhound workers says more jobs will be lost in Campbell River if the transportation company goes ahead with plans to reduce its service on Vancouver Island. Greyhound has filed an application to the B.C. Passenger Transportation Board to reduce service across B.C, including going down to one trip per day between Nanaimo and Campbell River. J e a n n i e B l a n e y, spokesperson for the Canadian Auto Workers Union (CAW) local 114, which represents Greyhound workers on the Island, said the union has submitted its own proposal to the Transportation Board urging it to deny Grey-

hound’s application. Blaney said if the cuts are approved, there could be serious repercussions. “Some folks in Campbell River are going to lose their jobs – folks in the Greyhound depot, office workers and drivers,” Blaney said. “I know it for a fact there will be job loss and the employees have been told that. And these are good jobs. In my opinion Campbell River cannot lose anymore employment.” According to CAW Local 114’s submission to the Transportation Board, 40.25 working hours each week will be lost in each direction on the Campbell RiverNanaimo run. Office staffing in Campbell River, Nanaimo and Victoria combined is expected to be cut by

eight full-time employees. “At prevailing wage rates within the Greyhound operation, this reduction in employment levels will reduce payrolls on the affected routes by over $350,000 per year,” said Jim Stanford, CAW’s chief economist in the submission. Greyhound is proposing to cut bus runs from Campbell River that have an average passenger load of 20 and 10 riders each. Grant Odsen, the regional manager of Greyhound, said the company lost $1.4 million on scheduled passenger runs across the province last year and hopes to save $6.75 million annually by eliminating 2.2 million operating miles across B.C. As part of those cuts, Greyhound is also pro-

posing to completely eliminate a seasonal ski run between Victoria and Mt. Washington which averaged just 2.79 riders northbound and 4.55 passengers on the bus going southbound last year. The Strathcona Regional District and City of Campbell River has already joined the growing list of unions and governments who have written letters voicing its concerns about the cuts. Blaney said she strongly encourages everyone who is opposed to Greyhound’s service cuts to sign CAW’s petition at, www.change.org/ petitions/stop-greyhound-from-cutting-22-million-miles-of-busservice-in-b-c or write a letter to their local government officials to lobby on their behalf.

“We’re encouraging anyone who’s upset to write why they’re upset. Everybody’s going to know someone who works at the depot or someone who uses the bus to go to Victoria for medical appointments,” Blaney said. “It will also mean less spending money in our communities.” A small transportation company, Tofino Bus Services Inc., has also applied to the B.C. Passenger Transportation Board to broaden its service and provide one daily service on each of the routes Greyhound is proposing to cut service. Tofino Bus Services is also looking for the public’s support to prove there is a need for the extra service. To lend support go to, www.tofinobus.com/ support

THREE TRUTHS ABOUT DOGS

Diabetes can lower your resistance to infection & can slow the healing process. Oral health problems associated with diabetes are tooth decay and periodontal (gum) disease which Dr. Kevin Lathangue leads to tooth loss. Dentist When diabetes is not controlled properly, high sugar levels in saliva may help bacteria thrive. Plaque that is not removed can eventually harden (calcify) into calculus. When calculus collects above the gumline, it cannot be removed by brushing. This can create conditions that lead to chronic inflammation and infection in the mouth. Periodontal disease often is linked to the control of diabetes. For example, patients with inadequate blood sugar control appear to develop periodontal disease more often and more severely, and they lose more teeth than do people who have good control of their diabetes. Brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning once a day between your teeth with floss and seeing your dentist regularly for an exam will help you to maintain your overall health. 250.287.7343 150 Dogwood St., Campbell River www.dogwooddental.com

Many people don’t like to discuss juvenile insurance because the topic seems morbid – but looking at it as an investment changes the story. Permanent insurance Darlene Garat is not only inexpensive when Financial Advisor purchased for someone under 18 years of age, it can guarantee future insurability with the right options. A well-constructed whole life policy can not only ensure that no matter what happens to your child’s health they will always be able to have insurance protection – it can also provide cash values for future use such as education, or business startup capital. Permanent life insurance bought now can make sure your child has more options in the future.

How can I make my money last in retirement? Series “T” mutual funds are a great way to create tax efficient income streams from non-registered assets. The unique features of ”T” series funds (“T” standing Peter Garat for Tax efficient), pays out distributions as a recapture of Certified Financial Planner capital. Capital paid back out to you is not considered taxable income, and thus cannot cause clawbacks of GIS, OAS, or Medicare deductibles. This makes this form of non-registered investment a great tool to supplement RRIF, pension and government income. By strategically layering income this way you can significantly extend your total years of income, and have more to live with and play on, as more money stays in your pocket and less will go to the CRA.

My bird is quite aggressive around it’s cage, why is that?

Why do I need to see my dentist if I have diabetes?

“A TIRED DOG IS A GOOD DOG” Give your dog the exercise he needs, and he will spend much of his day resting – not chewing, barking, digging, escaping or destroying things. “YOUR REACTIONS Cathy Merrithew AFFECT YOUR DOG’S ACTIONS” If you allow your dog to be rewarded for some action, he’s likely to repeat it. Consciously allow rewards to happen for actions you like, and prevent your dog from getting rewarded by you or the environment for actions you don’t want to encourage. “DOGS DO WHAT WORKS” Dogs will act in ways that they’ve learned are successful, ways that gain them good things and help them avoid bad things. Behavior that is rewarded is going to be repeated.

You already have a piercing. Are you bored of the same old thing? Well you can have more. Unsure about what can be done? Just give me a call or come on down to Monkey & Ryan Tree ﬁnd something that ﬁts you and your expressive self. Plus these days the selection of jewelry is amazing! We do have some in stock and have catalogs to get you the bling you so desire! If you are someone who has a metal allergies there are stylish options to accommodate you. Piercings take but minutes and are done in a bright, safe, clean, comfortable and friendly environment that is health board approved.

My favorite book to recommend for Type II diabetes patients is The Schwarzbein Principle Book Dr. Ingrid Pincott ND Naturopathic Physician II by Dr. Schwarzbein. Chapter Eleven outlines a diet plan that has worked for my patients for years but requires a lot of education. I start with diet diaries and glucometer readings one hour after eating to educate people how different foods will spike blood sugar and that is what you are trying to avoid in these patients. Of course there are important nutrients that these people also need. There is a way to optimize your blood sugars to below 6 if you really want to avoid the complications of diabetes.

Why would I want to buy life insurance on my children?

» Pet Store

During cold winter months it is common for pets to get the winter blues, and they may develop behavior problems as a result of boredom or frustration.These undesired behaviors can become permanent habits if they are not interrupted quickly. If your pet suddenly develops an undesirable behavior such as house soiling, destructive chewing, or restlessness, it is important to visit your veterinarian Dr. Peter Woodward to rule out any medical issues. Toxic winter chemicals are abundant: antifreeze, windshield deicer and salt. When out for those brisk winter walks keep a watchful eye on your dogs & cats and keep on a leash or limit their outdoor time. Make sure your four legged companion has clean drinking water and that it hasn’t frozen over (if the water is outside). Last winter tip: continue brushing your pet’s coat regularly - the old undercoat needs to be constantly brushed and removed to ensure their skin is naturally moisturized or skin irritation and infection can occur.

The Winter Blues

Recently we attended a Hagen education/trade show. At this show was the head of H.A.R.I., Hagen’s bird breeding & research centre. One of the most asked questions she gets, as do we, is regarding bird behavior with his/ her cage. Quite a few customers have experienced their sweet little bird try to take off their fingers near the cage or attacking other family members. Sarah Kirk There’s a simple fix that works!! Owner Birds, naturally have several different areas that they would fly to.We limit them with giving them one cage and maybe a playpen on top. EVERY bird should have 2 cages....their day cage with all their toys and a playpen, and a simple cage that can be smaller that is for sleeping only with small food and water dishes, a Vision style plastic perch or two and a very good cage cover. Birds require these separate spaces to thrive and to limit “cage defense”. Every “day cage” should have toys, a heat lamp, 3 different types of perches, food, water and Living World Clay-Cal, and Living World PRIME if they’re on a seed diet. PRIME is not to be fed to birds on a pellet diet as pellets are complete and balanced. This is a minimum for each and every bird. Add a sleep cage to your birds life and watch the difference in behavior...it’s pretty amazing!

How do you protect a Hot Tub Cover?

Who are we and what do we offer?

The common cold and ﬂu are benign and self-limiting conditions for most people. However, certain individuals are at high risk of developing complications from them.

1. Purchase a hot tub cover that has already been treated to protect it from mold and mildew growth and the damaging effects of the sun’s UV rays.

We ARE your #1 Transportation Choice! 287-Taxi in Campbell River is a locally owned and operated company serving the Residents, Tourists and Business Professionals in Campbell River. The pride of ownership is obvious when you view the wellmaintained vehicles, which are cleaned inside and out on a daily basis. • Clean comfortable vehicles • Courteous Drivers • Smoke Free • Wireless Interac Machines • Pre-dated Taxi Orders • Airport Service • Shuttle Rates to/from C.R. Airport • Shuttle Rates to/from Comox Airport • Door to Door Service • Door to Door Deliveries • Bus Rentals

2. Clean your hot tub cover twice a month with a mixture of soap and warm water. This helps remove any chemical residue that might be building up on the outer liner of the cover.

Here are some ways to prevent you from getting them: • Hand hygiene - it is recommended Victor Choo to use soap and water and lather Pharmacist/Owner your hands for 15 seconds. If not available, you can use alcohol-based hand sanitizer as a substitute. • Sneeze or cough into a tissue (dispose immediately) or into your elbow crease. • Have your annual ﬂu shot. • Natural products and supplements are also available.

5. Do not use the handles on the cover when opening it. Handles are for decorative purposes, but they are not designed to handle the weight of a hot tub cover on a regular basis.

4. When adding chemicals to the hot tub, leave the cover open for at least half an hour to allow any gases to clear away.

Come down to Peoples Drug Mart today and talk to your pharmacist on which supplements you should be taking. Flu shots are still available, call for information.

Terry Collins, Owner

3. Apply a product that protects your hot tub cover from UV rays four to ﬁve times per year. Choose a protectant that does not contain alcohol, silicone or petroleum, as those ingredients can damage the cover’s vinyl.

Lyle Wolfe Owner

Most Canadians qualify for severe conditions, which means you drive in stop and go trafﬁc, in mountainous terrain, or other conditions that increase wear and tear on your vehicle. If so, you may need to have your vehicle serviced more often than usual. Have your Great Canadian Oil Change automotive service technician check the fuel, air and transmission ﬁlters at the same time and recommend a winter maintenance schedule custom to your vehicle.

How do I help prevent getting the common cold and ﬂu?

1. Prepare to play. Start with 5 to 10 minutes of large muscle activity such as a few slow laps of the rink, stair climbing or some spins on a stationary bike. 2. Keep muscles in balance. Muscles Dean Clark, Physiotherapist used repetitively in hockey create large imbalances in strength and tightness. Stretch tight muscles and strengthen weak ones. And, be sure that your stick is the right length. 3. Train your body for hockey. Hockey speciﬁc off-ice training exercises will improve and will help with skating, puck skills and safe body contact. 4. Prevent giving or receiving a concussion. Always approach the boards on an angle. Avoid the danger zone by being on the boards or 3-4 feet away from them. If you get hurt, your physiotherapist can help you get back on the ice safely and quickly.

The Temperature of the grow room should be adjusted according to the types of plants you are raising. For example, summer vegetables and most Christa Fernau ﬂowers grow best between 60º and 80º F. Winter vegetables like spinach and lettuce prefer temperatures of between 50º and 70º. Also, keep in mind that many crops prefer a lower temperature at night, often as much as 10º. Temperature is sometimes an easy basic to overlook. But if the temperatures in your grow room are either too low or too high, you’ll end up with abnormal development and reduced production.

You need a permit whenever you make a structural change. This isn’t always black & white. f you’re unsure, call your municipality and ﬁnd out! While closing in a carport or building an addition seem like obvious reasons to get a permit, making some changes Jenna Nichol to the plumbing or making a REALTOR® window bigger may not. Not having permits could possibly void your insurance, result in ﬁnes from the municipality and even lead to a charge registered on your title. If you are thinking of purchasing a property with missing permits, it would be prudent to seek legal advice before proceeding. However, I would like to note that these things do happen and can be corrected. A house isn’t automatically unsaleable if it’s missing a permit, but it could end up costing you a lot of money if the proper steps aren’t taken.

Managing Your Money The value of putting life into your mortgage insurance 4x10 If you’re arranging a new mortgage or moving an existing one to a new lending institution, you will probably be offered mortgage insurance as part of the package. Protecting what is likely the largest investment you will ever make is always the right choice, but is the lender’s insurance offer the best choice for you? You do have another option that will protect your family’s dream home and their ¿nances should you die. That option: a personal life insurance policy that you arrange to suit your unique needs. Let’s look at the differences between mortgage life insurance offered by most lending institutions and personal life insurance.

Artists at work Saturday T

wo well-known Campbell River artists will be at work at the Campbell River Art Gallery Christmas Arts and Crafts Market Saturday, Nov. 17 Carole Goodwin and Jill Paris Rody will be in the Gallery from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Nov. 17 demonstrating their creativity. Both artists have work featured in this year’s Market. Goodwin, originally from Duncan, has spent her entire life on Vancouver Island and enjoys exploring the diverse beauty of this area in her paintings. “If flower, wood and water is the story my paintings tell, then colour is the strong

clear voice of my expression,” she said. Goodwin’s boldly coloured floral and landscape paintings reflect not only her love of nature, but also her belief in our abiding oneness with all things. Her work is featured in the Sundance Java Coffee Shop and is owned by private collectors across North America and beyond. She and Paris Rody have developed a friendship over the past five years based on their mutual love of art and appreciation of the natural and spiritual beauty of life. Paris Rody, originally from Oregon, has lived in the Oyster River area for

more than 37 years. She enjoys the rural settings of the Comox Valley and the shorelines of the Campbell River area. Colour, texture and line, and their subtle nuances, intrigue her and she is a perpetual student of landscape and the emotion it evokes. Her work is also owned by private collectors worldwide and is featured in Corners Picture Framing in Campbell River. The CR Art Gallery’s Christmas Arts and Crafts Market, sponsored by Chan, Nowosad and Boates, Chartered Accountants, is open from Monday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

until Christmas Eve. The Market features the work of dozens of artisans from Campbell River, Quadra Island, Cortes Island and other communities in the region. Be sure to stop by the Market this Saturday, Nov. 17 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. to see Carole Goodwin and Jill Paris Rody at work. The CR Art Gallery will feature demonstrations from other talented artists and artisans every Saturday until Dec. 22. For more information, stop by the Gallery from Monday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., call 250-2872261 or email contact@crartgallery.ca

Workman had kept the chat to a minimum. But then I don’t think it would have been as good. Nothing against the music, it was just fun listening to this guy tell his stories and share his thoughts about everything from the CBC to Mike Bossy and Conrad Black. About half way into the show Workman started insisting to the audience that he’s as Punk as you can get. There’s nobody more Punk than me, he went on and on, which was his way of warning the audience that after this next song he and his accompanist – “Mr. Lonely” – would stop playing and go back to the green room while the show has a thing called an intermission. He made it clear – tongue in cheek – that intermissions are not Punk. “It’s not my idea,”

Workman: Grew on me after a tenuous beginning

Continued from A28 But then, I add, how many punks compost at their home in the Muskoka region of Ontario and enthuse about their birding hobby? See, that’s how well we goy to know Hawksley Workman. The man just chatted all night long. Oh, he also played music. Lots of it. And very well. He’s not an artist I was familiar with before Saturday’s show so his music was new to me. And probably to a lot of other members of the audience at the Tidemark. It started off on shaky ground, though,

BECOME A CAMPBELL RIVER FILLER FILLER MIRROR CARRIER

because Workman has this vocal style where he frequently yelled – albeit on pitch – and jumped from low to high registers, often within the same sentence. The only problem was that the yelling and high pitch stuff got a bit shrill at times, causing more than a few people in the audience to wince. It’s something that can be helped by the sound technician and I did notice that it either got toned down a little or else we all got used to it. It gave the show a tenuous beginning as those of us unfamiliar with Workman probably began to wonder

if this was going to be like this all night. But it wasn’t. At least for me. We all began to warm up to his banter and his songs began to take us on strange and wonderful journeys. His topic material was a bit odd but then again so was he. His keyboard accompanist, Todd Lumley – a.k.a., Mr Lonely – was brilliant and one musical highlight of the show was Lumley and Workman doing a duet on the same piano. Workman took the low keys while Lumley wandered the mid, to upper registers in a fantastic display of keyboard skill. Won-

derful. And it earned an enthusiastic ovation from the audience. Otherwise, Workman played the guitar in this two-piece format – he usually travels with a full band – and his playing was as quirky as his songs and banter. But definitely an accomplished player. Another quirky thing Workman did was whenever he changed guitars, he’d have his road crew member bring out the next one, then take the one he was playing backstage. No guitar stand beside him, no rack of six strings at hand to switch whenever he

needed a new sound. I assumed the guitar technician was tuning and retuning backstage. Different. But then, that’s Workman. It was a refreshing and crazy night of music. Not a show that I’ll forget any time soon. And, yes, next chance I get, I’ll take in a Hawksley Workman show. If nothing else but for the banter. Opening act... Comox Valley resident Luke Blu Guthrie

opened the show and as loquacious as Workman was, Guthrie wasn’t. He just got to his songs and gave us some basic introductions. Which was fine because Guthrie’s bluesy and fingerpicking acoustic songs were great. Fine playing and good songs. I would have liked to have heard more besides the handful he played. I’ll have to check him out the next time he plays somewhere in

the area. I see he’s playing Willie’s Cafe in Willow Point Dec. 16. A good night at the Tidemark as part of their self-produced season.

Folk house concert to benefit 18-month-old Ursula Joy Gardeners Green Folk Club (GGFC) in Merville will be having a special house concert on Saturday, a fundraiser for the family of 18-month-old Ursula Joy, who is in Vancouver Childrens Hospital. Folk club organiser Summer Joy’s granddaughter, who normally resides on Hor nby Island with her family, was recently diagnosed with a brain tumour. She underwent a long and traumatic surgery, which has left her with serious complications, and she will be in hospital for many months to come. This benefit evening is to help her family with the many expenses they have already incurred, and which will continue to mount up as her treatment and care extends into the future. The performer for the evening is Mervillite Kel Kelly, who has offered to donate all the ticket money to the cause, and it seems appropriate that the theme of his material for this concert will be

heartache. Most of you know Kelly as a political and environmental activist and a man of many talents, but perhaps some of you did not know he is also a singer and songwriter. For the last several years he has spent many hours locked away in his small music room, turning his head and heart to music. Yes, we will have plenty of tissues at the ready, but Kelly is quick to point out that there will be lots of uplifting material as well. Here is what he says about his collection of songs about heart ache: “These songs have been a lifetime in the making, and they decided it’s time to come out now. Heart aches focuses on all the things, bitter and sweet, painful and joyful, that bring a pounding to the heart. I’ve realized that the heart responds to melancholy, longing and loss with the same intensity that it responds to ecstasy, fulfillment and

victory. It’s all part of the package and it all needs to be expressed and honoured. “My songs range

from rocking laments to tender poems about grandchildren. They move from time spent in the monastery of

the Dalai Lama, to time spent among the Celtic standing stones of Brittany. I like to share the stories that

accompany the songs. I’m always curious about the origins of songs and poems, and I think other people are too. The stories help the song to land in the heart. “I’m honoured to be able to share these songs as a community prayer for baby Ursula and her family.

Nice to see people using environmentally friendly bags – a shame people feel they can dump their garbage anywhere they "won't be seen". This pile was dumped just off the Jubilee Parkway. A place frequented by many cyclists, joggers and people who love nature – unlike the selﬁsh dumpers. Maybe a conscience will kick in and they'll be taken to the dump.

including a tea party (in the spring) in Kelly’s tree house, which is an amazing 70 feet up in a tree in his garden, affording a spectacular view. Needless to say, this auction item is not for the fainthearted. Also, well-known west coast painter Mark Hobson is donating two prints, so here is a chance to own some very fine and valuable art. As usual, there will be a large spread of desserts and fingerfood served along with tea and coffee during the break, all included in the ticket price of $20. Tickets must be reserved, which you can do by calling 250337-5337. If anyone who can’t make it to the concert would like to donate any amount, no matter how small, to Ursula’s family, you can do so by going to any Coastal Community Credit Union branch and donating to the Ursula Joy Trust Fund.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Charlie at the Campbell River Hospital on October 29, 2012. He leaves to mourn his wife Beverley of 56 years, his sons Wade (Janet) and Dean, grandsons Bryce, Brett, Jason (Laura), great granddaughter Caleigh and extended family Jennifer and Rita. Charlie was born February 10,1934 in South Wellington, B.C. At a young age the family moved to Comox Lake and then to Cumberland where Charlie grew up. Charlie moved to Campbell River in 1955 where he was employed in the mill construction and later became an employee. Over the years Charlie worked in the mining, logging, ďŹ shing industry, and boat and car sales. In later years he was employed at the Harbourview gas barge. Charlie was always game for his favourite pastime of playing Bridge. The family would like to thank Dr.Walker, the Emergency Room doctors, and all the nurses and staff at the hospital for their wonderful care. Many thanks to Janine and the homecare nurses for their support. We would also like to thank Pastor Art for his prayers and support during this difďŹ cult time. There will be a Celebration of Life at the Campbell River Baptist Church, 260 South Dogwood St., Saturday November 17, 2012 at 2:00pm. In lieu of ďŹ‚owers, a donation to the C.R. Hospital Foundation or the Cancer Society would be appreciated.

â€˜â€˜ WHY DO I NEED TO SEE A DENTIST IF MY TEETH DONâ€™T HURT ?

â€œConnecting people and placesâ€?

Most dental problems can be managed conservatively and inexpensively if caught early. As well, high magniďŹ cation and other aids can detect small cavities that can often be restored without anaesthetic. Besides checking for cavities, a thorough dental exam includes periodontal health assessment and screening for oral cancer and other abnormalities. Certainly knowing oneâ€™s oral health status provides peace of mind.

Midgets host the Island The Campbell River Minor Hockey Association hosted a Midget House tournament over the Remembrance Day weekend at Strathcona Gardens. Above, the Midget Eagles get tangled up with Powell River. Above right, the Campbell River Cougars goalie stops the Cowichan Valley player in a game which Cowichan Valley won 6-3.

Carihi boys soccer team is provincial bound Day one of the Senior Boys Soccer AA Island Championship saw a return to Merle Logan turf in Nanaimo for the Carihi Boys. The opening game provided an excellent test against a strong Mark Isfeld team. In earlier league play Isfeld had defeated Carihi 1-0. The opening exchanges were quite even and the closest chance fell to Kevin Shelswell who hit the post. I t w a s h oweve r Shelswell who did get the game’s opening goal in the twenty-first minute. An excellent diagonal ball was sent through by James K r u e t z i g e r wh i ch Shelswell chased onto. He knocked the ball forward and despite pressure by the Isfeld

defence he struck a superb drive into the roof of the net from just inside the 18 yard area. This seemed to provide the Tyees with some confidence and it was Kruetziger again causing problems for the Isfeld defence. He chased onto an excellent through ball and was advancing toward the goal before he was abruptly and illegally stopped. The offence saw a yellow card and it was Kruetziger who took the free kick. It was a good effort which was saved by the keeper. Taylor Arbour pounced on the ensuing loose ball to score the second Carihi goal. The first half continued to produce some good forward

play by Carihi with Connor Fairweather and Carter Colblenz producing some intelligent passes. Jason Fawkes and Alex Desrochers were again tireless in their contribution to both defence and offence. The second half saw a commendable effort by Mark Isfeld. They put some good pressure on the Tyee defence and earned a number of corners. Fortunately the Tyees stood strong and held onto their two goal advantage. The second game on day one had Carihi meet Shawnigan Lake in a repeat of the clash the previous week in the North Island Championship. That game saw a narrow 2-1 victory for Carihi. This game was to prove far

more decisive for Carihi as they romped to a 4-0 win. The opening goal was scored by the hard working Kruetziger. It followed excellent closing down play by Alex Foge. This pressure ultimately resulted in Kruetziger winning the ball in the Shawnigan half and a speedy break onto the Shawnigan keeper. Kruetziger coolly drew the keeper into thinking he was going to shoot, rounded the keeper and in almost nonchalant manner flicked the ball into the net despite it being a difficult angle. The second goal came thanks to an excellent pass from Shelswell to Kruetziger. The Tyee forward then curled a beautiful shot into

the bottom left hand corner of the net with the advancing keeper stranded for the second time in the game. The Tyees continued to dominate the game and started the second half off in fine fashion. Some excellent passing saw a fine ball fed through from Tyler Kelly to Zach Tillapaugh. There was still much to do as Isfeld ran back hard. Tillapaugh drove smartly to the net and was fouled as he was about to shoot and earned a penalty kick which he calmly dispatched. Tillapaugh scored the fourth and final goal of the game with an excellent break forward after a superb pass from Karson Kroetsch. Overall it was a

very strong display by an increasingly confident group of Tyees. Meanwhile on the adjacent pitch Mark Isfled held Lambrick Park to a 1-1 draw. The result meant that Carihi would only need a draw themselves a g a i n s t L a m b r i ck Park in the final game of Pool play to become the first Carihi Senior boys Soccer team to advance to a Provincial Championship based on merit. Day two saw some welcome sunshine which indeed reflected the positive vibe in the Tyee camp going into their game against Lambrick Park. The game started evenly with both teams enjoying some possession and a couple of half chances. It was the

Tyees who broke the deadlock. Kroetsch laid a smart ball off to Tyler Kelly who hit an excellent shot from the top of the 18 yard box which went in off the far post. The game continued to ebb and flow with both teams putting on pressure at various times. Bell Oudry was a “giant” in the centre of the defence and had an answer to all high balls knocked down the middle. Lambrick Park did tie the game with 15 minutes remaining which ensured a nerve wracking period for players and parents alike! The Tyees defended in outstanding fashion with the pace and Continued on A38

Carihi:Tyees make history Continued from A37

deter mination of Vigneron a real bonus. Despite five minutes of overtime being played and continual pressure the boys survived the onslaught to record the all important draw they needed to reach the Island Final and secure the precious berth to the Provincial championship. The Championship game saw Carihi match up with St. Michael’s University School. The game was less frenetic than the semifinal as despite play-

ing for the honour of winning the Islands the pressure to reach the Provincials was now off. The Tyees dominated the first half and Arbour scored the opening goal from an indirect free kick laid off to him by Shelswell just outside the six yard area. The second half saw a strong effort from St. Michael’s University School and they deservedly equalised with six minutes remaining. No further goals were scored so extra time ensued. St. Michael’s Univer-

sity School almost won it in the dying minutes but Tyee keeper Massie thwarted their attacker with a superb save. A shoot out followed with keeper Massie making an outstanding four saves from four shots. Carihi went on to score two from their three ef forts with Arbour and Kruetziger scoring with Massie making the fourth save and the Island Championship was secured! In the world of High School Soccer the “AA” Provincial Champion-

ship has been going since 1996 when Carihi hosted the first annual. The school attended as hosts and finished an outstanding fifth. This season is the first time a Carihi Senior Boys soccer team has made the trip to the High School Provincial Championship on merit and the boys are thrilled to be making history for the school. The boys will head to Burnaby on November 18 to attend the 16 team tournament and hopes are high for a top eight finish.

He’s getting away Campbell River’s Tyrell Barley gets away from the Saanich Fusion player during a match in Comox on Saturday. The Vancouver Island Premier League’s U15

soccer team of the Upper Island Soccer Association played two games during the Remembrance Day long weekend. Last Saturday the team took on the Saanich Fusion and lost 4-2. The following day, the boys took on Juan de Fuca and came out on the winning end, 6-0. Both games were played in Comox at Valleyview Field.

Wolves crowned area champions The Area III Junior Girls Volleyball Championships were held this past weekend at Carihi, and the Timberline Wolves

4x6.5

won the Area III Championship for the fourth year in a row. Timberline went undefeated throughout the tournament and came from behind in both sets of the final to defeat Port Alberni 25-23, 25-21. The girls are now the #1 north

seed going into the North Island Championships November 12/13 in Parksville. Other teams that qualified for the North Island Championships are Brooks (Powell River), Port Alberni, and Mark R. Isfeld (Courtenay).
