Lighting up the seasonOne of the many Christmas traditions among homeowners in Campbell River is the joyous decoration of their homes with coloured lights. This

house on Holm Road is just one example of the desire to use what is undoubtedly one of their most precious possessions to bring good cheer to

their neighbourhood and community. Touring the community looking at the light displays is a favourite modern Christmas activity that is obviously

much appreciated by all residents.

KRISTEN DOUGLASCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Doctors worry ser-vices at the Campbell River hospital will slowly disappear if the Vancouver Island H e a l t h Au t h o r i t y (VIHA) goes ahead with a plan for two new hospitals.

Doctors are particu-larly concerned with the wording in a letter penned by Dr. Grant Hollett, VIHA’s direc-tor of planning and community engage-ment. Hollett’s letter was sent to Campbell River doctors as a draft example of what VIHA was asking the doctors to sign, to show sup-port for the hospital project.

“One problem with this letter was the one hospital model on two sites,” said Dr. Roy Minaar, who chaired a Campbell River hospi-tal medical staff meet-ing Tuesday night. “I don’t really know what that means, it’s open to interpretation. But I believe acute care services will all go to one site and it won’t be Campbell River.”

H o l l e t t ’ s l e t t e r revealed VIHA plans to have the physicians in Campbell River and the doctors in the Comox Valley working

together as one cohe-sive unit.

“This project pro-vides us with an excel-lent opportunity to create a new medical staf f collaborative model between both communities that will maximize the quality and access of our ser-vices,” reads the letter.

The project, which still needs approval from the provincial government, calls for a new hospital in Camp-bell River, located on the current hospital site on 2nd Avenue, and a new hospital in the Comox Valley. The cost of the project is estimated at $550 mil-lion. Campbell River doctors, however, have become skeptical of VIHA’s plans because of what they say has been a lack of infor-mation.

“A major concern is that, as we all know, it seems the hospital that Campbell River will end up with will be smaller and will certainly not be able to offer all the ser-vices that the facility in Courtenay/Comox will,” said Dr. Duncan Douglas in a letter to local medical staff. “I doubt the average per-son in Campbell River is aware of this and the public outcry and back-lash once this becomes

a reality is something we do not want to be a part of and certainly never want to be seen as being in any way responsible for, which will be exactly what will happen if we sign off on this question.”

Dr. Aref Tabarsi, a pathologist at Camp-bell River hospital, said he disagrees with the two hospital, one staff model because it leaves physicians vulunerable.

“When we are the staff of both hospitals, we have no choice but to go where the employer (VIHA) deems we are needed,” Tabarsi wrote in a letter to the medi-cal staff. “In addition, with the written North Island hospital proj-ect/plan that says very clearly all the specialty (regional) services including 24/7 trauma level III would be located at Comox Val-ley hospital, where do you think the direction

of staff movement is going to be? It is quite obvious that is going to be south to Comox Valley.

“It seems after six years of hard work, VIHA has never devi-ated from its original agenda of taking all the specialty services out of Campbell River,” Tabarsi said. “I simply would like to know why VIHA is pushing for one medical staff, so hard, to a degree that if not realized the new two hospital plan for North Island would fall through.

“If that is the case, I personally prefer sta-tus quo. I simply do not wish to pay more taxes to replace our current functioning hospital with a brand new old age home care.”

VIHA’s concept paper for the new hospitals says Campbell River hospital can expect an increase of 30-35 beds, for a total of 90-95 and

that “all currently provided services will continue at the new hospital.”

Coun. Claire Moglove, who sits on the Comox Strathcona Regional Hospital Board said she has been reassured that Campbell River will not lose any of its current services.

“I’ve seen diagrams of services at the two hospitals and I don’t have the same feeling that we’re being led down the garden path,” Moglove said.

Dr. John Penhall told the group of medical staff it should wait and see what VIHA’s plans are before hitting the panic button.

“We can’t be conspir-acy theorists,” Penhall said. “I don’t think they’re out to get us. This needs to be taken up at a political level.”

Mayor Walter Jake-way said city council will fight for a new hos-pital that fits the com-munity’s needs and will take the battle to the provincial govern-ment.

“I think you should leave it up to us, it’s the only way to turn it

around and they’ll lis-ten,” Jakeway told the medical staff. “We’ll go over (VIHA CEO) How-ard’s (Waldner) head. The doctors don’t need to fight the battle, we’ll pick it up. We’ll go after Victoria.”

In the end, Dr. Joe Krysl made a motion for Campbell River medical staff to write an open letter to the Minister of Health and Waldner asking for new infrastructure for the North Island, with two new hospitals appropriate to each community’s needs, and expressing that the model put forward by VIHA is not appro-priate and further that the planning process to date has been fraught with lack of communi-

cation, transparency and inclusiveness. The motion passed unani-mously. Jakeway said council would also sign the letter.

Campbell River doc-tors say the Vancouver Island Health Author-ity (VIHA) tried to coerce them into sign-ing off on the new hos-pital project but now VIHA has changed its mind.

On Monday, North Island MLA Claire Trevena issued a release saying the doc-tors were being pres-sured into supporting a new hospital without the full assurance it would meet the needs of the community. Trevena went so far as to say VIHA CEO How-ard Waldner demanded the physicians agree to the proposed hospital by the beginning of this week or the proj-ect would be “scuttled entirely.”

Waldner was sched-uled to attend a meet-ing with the Campbell River hospital medical staff on Tuesday night but cancelled 24 hours before the meeting.

“There was a meet-ing called by VIHA executive to discuss an agreement to the two North Island hospitals project,” said Dr. Roy Minaar, who chaired Tuesday’s meeting. “But we had a tele-phone conference with Mr. Waldner yesterday

and he felt it was no longer necessary.

Minaar said Waldner told him VIHA really only needed a letter of support from the Comox Valley physi-cians, as media reports in the Valley surfaced that some politicians wanted to revisit the single, regional hos-pital model, and that the Treasury Board would proceed without a letter from Campbell River.

Waldner told the Mirror early Monday afternoon that VIHA did receive a letter of support from doctors in the Comox Valley and that there was “absolutely no compul-sion” on the Campbell River physicians to do the same.

However, Waldner did say the province may look more favourably on VIHA’s business case, a comprehensive document outlining the project, and grant VIHA the capital fund-ing it requires to build the new facilities, if it had support from Campbell River.

“Personally if I was thinking of funding a capital project and the folks up there did not support it, I might think twice about it,” Waldner said.

Dr. Chuck Mahoney said he found it curious

how Waldner seemed to change his mind so quickly.

“I was quite sur-prised listening to Mr. Waldner’s telephone call last night,” said Mahoney, who noted that the group of local doctors who met with Waldner earlier in the month came back with the impression they would have to support the project or risk hav-ing things fall apart. “And then last night, he says ‘it’s okay, we don’t need your support.’”

Mahoney said even if the doctors were still required to send a letter of support, he wouldn’t as he is con-cerned Campbell River will be left out if VIHA goes ahead with a one hospital on two sites plan which was out-lined in the business case.

“I think I would vote against accepting a proposal with this gover nance model tied to it,” Mahoney said. “We’ll always be a minority group in a single medical staff.”

Dr. Jennifer Grace, a site chief at the hos-pital, said Campbell River would likely lose its trauma services under that type of model.

“I think Comox has a lot to gain because it’s getting a bigger and

better hospital,” Grace said. “I think Waldner’s tone changed because this is a political game. They thought this was a joyous occasion but it’s turned into a media nightmare. We’ve been given an ultimatum to agree to one hospital on two sites. If we said no and the whole model collapsed it would be an unfortunate circum-stance.”

Mayor Walter Jake-way said the very fact Waldner pulled out of the meeting with Campbell River medi-cal staff says a lot.

“His very decision that he didn’t have to come here today shows he’s totally misread the situation,” Jake-way said. “My concern is that as soon as they get the funding they’ll (VIHA) stop listening because they’re not really even listening right now. I think we have to cut them off at the pass.”

Jakeway told the medical staff he’s con-fident the province will accept VIHA’s business case and provide fund-ing for the hospitals.

“I can’t believe the Liberal government is just going to ignore it,” Jakeway said. “It would be political sui-cide for them to not do this. This is a swing riding – it’ll happen.”

NOTICE OF REVITALIZATION TAX EXEMPTIONPursuant to sec on 227 of the Community Charter, Council for the City of Campbell River gives no ce that Council proposes to adopt Downtown Revitaliza on Tax Exemp on Amendment Bylaw No 3472, 2012.

The reasons for and objec ves of the bylaw are to promote the revitaliza on of the area of downtown shown on the plan below (the “Special Commercial Area”) through the development and redevelopment of commercial buildings.

The amount of the tax exemp on that would be provided in respect of the development of new commercial buildings within the Special Commercial Area is 100% of the municipal property tax imposed on the improvement.

The amount of the tax exemp on that would be provided in respect of the redevelopment of commercial buildings within the Special Commercial Area is 100% of that por on of municipal property tax imposed on the improvement which increases as a result of the Bri sh Columbia Assessment Authority increasing the assessed value of the improvement more than the average increase in assessment within City Centre Downtown (as de ned above) for that class of improvements.

The maximum term of a tax exemp on that would be provided in respect of the development or redevelopment of commercial buildings within the Special Commercial Area is 5 years.

There shouldn’t be anyone going hungry this Christmas season in Campbell River, thanks to the generos-ity of the community, says food bank man-ager Ann Minosky.

“I think I’ve got everyone. I don’t think anyone is going to go hung ry,” Minoksy said Wednesday, with the final distributions

for the holiday season already out the door.

And with the holiday meals already in the hands of the needy, the shelves at the food bank are full to start the new year. While the food bank is reporting that demand has been up this season, and more and more families have been using the service, donations have kept up with demand.

“Campbell River seems to be the best

town for giving,” Minosky said. “My shelves are full. The only problem is where to keep it all.”

A successful food drive headed by radio personality Dave Reyn-olds of 99.7 The River, brought in enough donations to fill two truck trailers of food for Campbell River and a third, smaller truck for Gold River. As well, Reynolds’ River Relief truck drive met its goal

of bringing in 700 tur-keys for the food bank and Salvation Army. Food drives held at local schools and busi-ness, and donations from grocery stores have also helped stock the shelves.

The local food bank provides food pack-ages to between 1,500 and 1,900 people per month, with about 40 per cent of the clients being children.

“There’s lots of

families because peo-ple have lost jobs,” Minosky said.

The local food bank was also dealt a blow when a break in was reported at the build-ing on Dec. 13. Staff were unable to deter-mine at the time if anything was taken, and a police investiga-tion continues.

The next distribution at the Campbell River food bank takes place Jan. 4, 2012.

The City of Camp-bell River will carry on its annual holiday garbage tradition this year.

The week following Christmas residents can put out extra gar-bage cans, free of cost.

“From Dec. 26 to 30, Emterra (the city’s gar-bage contractor) will accept extra trash for curbside collection to help people clear away after the holidays,” said Jennifer Peters, the city’s utilities man-ager. That means no tags will be required

for extra containers, but the weight limit of 20 kilograms or 44 pounds still applies.

Meanwhile, garbage and recycling collec-tion days will remain the same in 2012.

“Once a Monday route, always a Monday route...or a Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and so on,” Peters said. “And all waste collec-tion remains weekly so there’s no worries about what’s picked up when. That’s one less thing for people to try to remember as they

adjust to changes that tend to come with the new year.”

Anyone with ques-tions about waste col-lection is encouraged to contact Emterra at (250) 286-0211. Camp-bell River waste col-lection guidelines and map are posted on the city’s website, www.campbellriver.ca under Residents/Garbage Recycling and Yard Waste. In the same loca-tion, people will also be able to see information to help them make the most of weekly unlim-

ited recycling, includ-ing pick-up of plastics #1-7. Residents are also reminded that an online directory (www.campbellriver-recycles.ca) provides current information about where people can return and repurpose more items than those picked up through curbside collection.

Also on the website, find information about the city’s yard waste drop-off centre, which is open year-round Fri-day to Tuesday (closed Wednesday and Thurs-

day), 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Located on the We Wai Kai Nation land, west side of Highway 19 (follow the signs from Willis Road), the drop-off centre service is available to resi-dents who participate in the city’s curbside collection program. In 2012, weekly curbside yard waste collection will run Apr. 2 through Nov. 30. Residents with-out Internet access can pick up copies of waste collection information at city facilities or from Emterra drivers.

The staff of the Campbell River Mirror would like to wish all our readers a Merry Christmas.

As a community, we’ve come through a tough economic stretch and instead of bringing us all down, all signs indicate that we’re at least as appreciative of what we have living in this beautiful community as we’ve ever been.

We’ve also proven that economic difficulties make us

no less generous than we’ve been in prosperous times. That’s a testament to the character of our community. We haven’t forgotten our less fortunate.

And of course, when we talk about community, that includes not only the city but the rural residents of this wonderful corner of the world. Christmas is a time of year when we take stock of what we value and who we want to be as individuals and as a community.

It’s the nature of the Christian-based traditions of the celebration to reflect on being the best we can be. It’s a characteristic of all religions and is a sentiment that people of all faiths – and people of no faith – can support. One of this community’s enduring characteristics is its willingness to strive for tolerance and appreciation of diversity. It’s a gift we can give ourselves.

As a predominantly Christian community, the majority of Campbell River area residents throw themselves into the seasonal celebration with as much gusto as anyone. And it must seem overwhelming to those who don’t subscribe to all of the traditions involved but this town likes to party so there’s no holding us back. The cynics come out at this time of the year as much as anybody but most of us are willing to give one part of the year over to celebrating higher human values. Who can argue with that?

So, Merry Christmas to all our readers and customers. Celebrate the great gift of life in a wonderful community.

Good point: StrathconaAs humans we create rules, sometimes to make

things safer, as with speed limits, and sometimes to make things more rewarding and enjoyable for us, as with the rules we make for the games we play.

Our games are almost totally defined and shaped by their different rules.

Without rules, there wouldn’t be much difference between hockey, chess, or ping pong.

We would simply win all games by beating our oppo-nents into submission.

Obviously, rules help us to learn and grow in many valuable ways. Most people easily understand this, because we’re taught from a very young age.

Many of my personal joys and values came to me from a different direction.

My dad first took me into Strathcona Park when I was seven years old, and I began to form many of the values and appreciations I still hold today.

The values of games and their necessary rules are second nature to most people.

We learn that our games are worth more to us as human beings if we voluntarily exclude unsuitable human behaviours.

Unfortunately we receive almost no such education with regard to our wilderness parks.

For more than 50 years, NORAD and its predecessor, the Continental Air Defense Command (CONAD) have tracked Santa’s flight.

The tradition began in 1955 after a Colorado Springs-based Sears Roe-buck & Co. advertisement for chil-dren to call Santa misprinted the telephone number. Instead of reach-ing Santa, the phone number put kids through to the CONAD Commander-in-Chief ’s operations “hotline.” The Director of Operations at the time, Colonel Harry Shoup, had his staff check the radar for indications of Santa making his way south from the North Pole. Children who called were given updates on his location, and a tradition was born.

In 1958, the governments of Can-ada and the United States created

a bi-national air defense command for North America called the North American Aerospace Defense Com-mand, also known as NORAD, which then took on the tradition of tracking Santa. Since that time, NORAD men, women, family and friends have self-lessly volunteered their time to per-sonally respond to phone calls and emails from children all around the world. In addition, they now track Santa using the Internet. Millions of people who want to know Santa’s whereabouts now visit the NORAD Tracks Santa website: www.norad-santa.org. NORAD uses four high-tech systems to track Santa – radar, satellites, Santa cams and fighter jets.

Tracking Santa starts with the NORAD radar system called the

North Warning System. This power-ful radar system consists of 47 instal-lations strung across the northern border of North America. On Dec. 24, NORAD monitors the radar sys-tems continuously for indications that Santa Claus has left the North Pole. The moment that radar indi-cates Santa has lifted off, we use our second detection system. Satellites positioned in geo-synchronous orbit at 22,300 miles from the Earth’s sur-face are equipped with infrared sen-sors, which enable them to detect heat. Amazingly, Rudolph’s bright red nose gives off an infrared signa-ture, which allows their satellites to detect Rudolph and Santa.

The third tracking system is the Santa cam network. We began using it in 1998, which is the year we put

our Santa Tracking program on the internet. Santa cams are ultra-cool, high-tech, high-speed digital cam-eras that are pre-positioned at many locations around the world. NORAD only uses these cameras once a year. The cameras capture images and videos of Santa and his reindeer as they make their journey around the world. The fourth system is made up of fighter jets. Canadian NORAD fighter pilots flying the CF-18 inter-cept and welcome Santa to North America. In the United States, Amer-ican NORAD fighter pilots in either the F-15, F-16 or the F-22 get the thrill of flying alongside Santa.

Once data is collected on Dec. 24, it is pushed into the Google Maps and Google Earth so that families all over the world can also follow Santa.

City staff hope to use the money to do a “Walkability Inven-tory and Assessment” for seniors to identify and improve barriers to mobility for pedes-trians, particularly seniors.

Ross Blackwell, the city’s land use man-ager, said in a report to council that it will reduce the “isolation and decline in physi-cal activity” that some

seniors experience.“It will also provide a

more complete under-standing of the gaps in the primary pedestrian system that service key locations in the com-munity,” Blackwell said. “This permits an improved level of capital planning for related infrastructure upgrades.”

The grant monies have been made avail-able by the province to local governments to assist in preparing for aging populations. Council voted to apply for funding at its regu-lar meeting last week.

Grants of up to

$20,000 are available to support commu-nity planning initia-tives and community projects focused on age-friendly communi-ties and the ability of seniors to age in their own community, Black-well said.

“An age friendly com-munity is a community where older people are supported to live active, socially engaged, and inde pendent l ives through policies, ser-vices and structures designed to support them,” Blackwell said. “The creation of age-friendly communities in B.C. builds on find-

ings from the World Health Organization’s Age-friendly Cities and the Canadian Age-friendly Rural and Remote Communities projects in 2007.”

A Walkability Inven-tory and Assessment in Campbell River will be used in the Master Transportation Plan which the city is in the process of updating.

“The grant will be applied to the creation of the primary formal and informal pedes-trian routes and assess

them for actual and perceived barriers to mobility” such as bro-ken pavement, missing sections of sidewalk, and overgrown vegeta-tion, Blackwell said.

The results will be reported with an inven-tory tool that can be used in future efforts.

The grant program was launched by the B.C. government in 2004 but additional funding was contrib-uted in 2007 and in 2011 to support a new round of grant funding.

almost entirely from the exclusion of unsuitable human activities.

Although it seems hard to grasp that something can be made more valuable by excluding something else, it’s true.

It’s true for our games, and it’s true for our wilderness parks. The more unsuitable activities we allow

into our parks, the more worthless and meaningless they become.

That’s why it’s important for me, and people like me who care about our wilderness parks, to fight and keep fighting government efforts to force high-impact commercial exploitation into areas like the Bed-well Valley in Strathcona Park.

It’s official, 287 Taxi is the new face of air-port shuttle service in Campbell River.

“We’re excited,” said 287 Taxi office man-ager Deborah Helme. “It’s a new adventure for us.”

Helme said the com-pany has been looking for expand for a while now, but wasn’t exactly sure how to do it. So when the Campbell

River Airporter was let go, 287 Taxi jumped on the chance to take over the airport shuttle ser-vice as it was already set up to do so.

“One, it’s in our juris-diction of coverage, number two, we have the vehicles to cover what is required and needed at the airport,” said Helme. “We have been working with the airport for probably a good year anyways now because we have the seating capacity in our

buses that is required by the airlines for a lot of their trips back and forth to Comox, so that’s how that kind of fell into it.”

The name of the shut-tle service will change to Campbell River Airport Shuttle, and customers can call 287-TAXI, or a new number of 250-914-1010 to book a ride. And, Helme said a new toll free number is also in the works.

Besides the take over of the airport shuttle

service, 287 Taxi has some more expansion plans up its sleeve, but Helme is keeping quiet about the details of those.

“I have some busi-ness meetings in the new year as well, but I won’t disclose what those are,” said Helme. “But I’ve been contacted about some other options coming up too, working with some other businesses, so that’ll be disclosed after the new year.”

Police dog puts a bite on crime

Two bungling thieves are licking their wounds after an RCMP dog handler let his four-legged partner make an early morning arrest last Wednesday.

Two males had stolen pornographic magazines from the 7-11 store on Dogwood Street and then went across the street and to break into the Fusilli Grill where they stole liquor. Police attended, a containment perimeter

was set up and the police dog did the rest. Both suspects, well known to the RCMP, were taken into custody and transported to cells after being treated at Campbell River Hospital. Both subjects have been remanded in custody.

The North Island Employment Founda-tion Society has been

awarded the provin-cial contract to admin-ister the new Employ-ment Program of BC in Campbell River and Port Hardy.

NIEFS has been serv-ing the region for 26 years helping connect unemployed individu-als with employers. NIEFS sees an average

of 3,000 to 3,300 cli-ents through its doors annually.

The goal of the new provincial program is to provide increased access and less confu-sion for unemployed people seeking help, said Kent Larden, man-ager of employment services for NIEFS.

“The beauty of this program is they’ve taken nine programs that were set up to serve nine clients groups and combined them into one,” Larden said. “Now there is one central point for unemployed clients to go to.”

With previous pro-vincial programs, cli-ents accessing services through one provider would not necessarily be able to access the services of another. Now, NIEFS will sub-contract with the other service providers and be able to refer clients to them.

According to a press release from the prov-ince, NIEFS will work with a number of other organizations including Community Futures Development Corporation of Strath-cona; Campbell River Multicultural and Immigrant Services Association; Opportu-nities Career Services; and other regional com-

munity and Aboriginal service organizations.

The new Employ-ment Program of BC will serve all British Columbians who are eligible to work in Canada and seeking employment, and will be delivered through Work BC Employ-ment Services Centres across the province starting in April. The contract is in place for five years.

The local centre, run by NIEFS, will offer services including: job search and resume help; re-training and skills upgrading; and career planning ser-vices from offices at 870C 13th Ave., Camp-bell River, as well as through phone, internet and satellite locations. Job seek-ers won’t need to wait until April to seek help, as NIEFS continues to offer employment ser-vices under its present model. For more infor-mation visit NIEFS.net or call 250-286-3441.

Drive Smart BCPeace on Earth,

Good Will Toward Other Drivers

I’ve “met” many interesting people in the past year in the course of writing my weekly road safety article. Whether you read it in your local newspaper, through your e-mail, by visiting the DriveSmartBC web site, tweeting with @DriveSmartBC or posting on DriveSmartBC’s wall on Fa-cebook you have all taken the opportunity to state your views, ask for advice or make suggestions for future stories. I appreciate that you have taken the time to share with me. Sharing is a big part of our lives during the Christmas season. There are presents for friends and family, charity for those less fortunate than we are and good wishes for everyone else. It’s a warm feeling and can often be created with very little effort though a gesture or a kind word. My Christmas wish is that you all take this sharing feeling with you the next time you get behind the wheel and think about spreading that warm feeling on our high-ways. Lets all share the road together, fol-low the traffi c rules not because we have to but because we want to, so that everyone can feel safer because of it. It is no small thing, and we can do it if we want to! So, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all! May 2012 be crash free for everyone. Remember, peace on earth and good will toward other drivers

BC’s salmon farm-ers have a New Year’s wish…accelerated reg-ulatory streamlining as they enter year two under federal jurisdic-tion.

BC Salmon Farmers Association (BCSFA) Executive Director Mary Ellen Wall -ing says delays in the review of license amendments has cre-ated challenges for BC companies.

“The single-year fish-ing licenses granted now create uncertainty for the businesses,” she added. “I hope to see more streamlining of the regulatory process in 2012.”

In February 2009, the BC Supreme Court ruled that aquaculture should be under fed-eral regulatory control rather than the previ-ous provincially-led regulatory program. Following an exten-sion in early 2010, the official transfer date was Dec. 18, 2010.

While the regulated requirements for BC’s salmon farms stayed the same in many areas as they were under provincial con-trol, there were altera-tions that needed to be worked through such as changes in staff con-

tacts, reporting proce-dures and inspection processes.

“The transition last year was a big one. It required a lot of work from many people,” Walling says. “We look forward to seeing these regulations settle more into place as we continue to move for-ward.”

One of the biggest changes from a public perspective has been has been quarterly reporting of informa-tion about egg imports, sea lice, marine mam-m a l i n t e r a c t i o n s, incidental catch and escapes. Walling says BCSFA feels this addi-tional reporting is a good step, though it has been challenging to put in context since the industry is the only BC food production sector providing this level of data publicly.

“Salmon far mers are always looking for ways to improve our business. That means making sure our oper-ations are sustainable but also enabling our businesses to continue to be successful,” Wall-ing says. “We hope to continue working with DFO to find clear paths that ensure all parties’ expectations are met.”

Calling all Island musiciansVancouver Island

musicians are urged to submit music they’ve released in 2010 or 2011 to be considered for nomination in the 2012 Vancouver Island Music Awards (VIMA). The nomination deadline is Dec. 31, 2011 for the 2012 awards, which will be held April 21 in Victoria.Musicians can find details on what and how to submit at www.IslandMusicAwards.com

Nominees will be announced in early February.

The 2012 awards will be the eighth instalment of the event.

In addition to the physical awards, which are hand-crafted by a Vancouver Island artist, 2012 VIMA winners will also receive recording packages and weekend getaways, and the Artist of the Year Nominees will arrive in style in a white stretch-limo. The 2011 gala event was held at the Sid Williams Theatre in Courtenay. Courtenay’s Helen Austin was named the

2011 Artist of the Year, and The Irish Rovers were honoured with the “Island Classic Award” to recognize their 46-year (and counting) run in the music industry - the past 20 as Vancouver Island-based artists.

According to the VIMA website “The goal of the Vancouver Island Music Awards is to: celebrate the Vancouver Island music scene; build awareness of this scene among the general public on the Island and across Canada; provide a networking

opportunity between artists and music industry representatives; acknowledge and reward excellence in the artistry and work ethic of Island artists; empower and encourage Island artists to pursue their musical dreams; set a positive and professional example for youth and the young at heart who are pursuing a career in music.”

The 2012 VIMAs are a presentation of Long & McQuade and Kasper Creative Media.

Father Time and Baby New Year are scheduled to appear at Strathcona Gardens’ New Year’s Eve Family Celebration on Dec. 31.

“We are very lucky to have Father Time and Baby New Year make an appearance at this year’s event,” says event coordinator Leah Knutson. “They are very busy on New Year’s Eve, but this year they decided to visit our great city for a few hours.”

Other guests

include Cathey Corbitt, on hand to paint faces and Jim Chisholm, who will entertain with Shoo Shoo the Clown.

This free event includes swimming, skating, pond hockey, messy challenges, games and crafts from 5 to 9 p.m. on New Year’s Eve at Strathcona Gardens. This is an all ages community event to celebrate the arrival of 2012.

For more information call Strathcona Gardens at (250) 287-9234.

A local family has presented the Campbell River Art Gallery with a wonderful gift – an original Sybil Andrews linocut.

The Caldwell Family, led by Jack Caldwell, presented the Gallery with the piece, called ‘Ploughing Pasture,’ which will form part of the Gallery’s permanent collection. Art Gallery curator Liz Larsen Stoneberger said the linocut, which depicts a farmer plowing his field with birds flying around him, is typical of Andrews’ style.

Andrews was originally from England but lived in Campbell River from 1947 until her death in 1992. In recent years interest in her work has soared internationally. Before moving to Canada, Andrews worked in England with a well-known group of artists known as the Grosvenor School who embraced a new medium - linocuts - which involved printmaking using newly available linoleum blocks – a truly modern idea at the time.

Andrews was a well-known local resident for many years who taught music and art in the Willow Point cottage she shared with her husband Walter Morgan. Their historic cottage is now the home of the Campbell River Arts

Council.The donor, Caldwell,

was one of Campbell River’s first lawyers. He moved to the area in the 1950s to practice law and eventually became a provincial court judge.

He purchased ‘Ploughing Pasture’ directly from Andrews several years after he moved to the community.

“The gift brings a significant Andrews piece to the Gallery’s collection,” Larsen Stoneberger said.

‘Ploughing Pasture’ is not currently being exhibited and is being kept at the Museum of Campbell River’s climate-controlled storage area for safekeeping.

Larsen Stoneberger

said the Gallery cannot thank the Caldwell Family enough for this treasure.

“We are thrilled to have a piece by such an important artist included in our permanent

collection and we are truly indebted to Jack Caldwell and his family for this stunning gift.”

Across the country, this will likely be

a very green Christ-mas, for more reasons than the unusual balmy weather as with each passing year, more people strive to celebrate the season without harming our Earth.

Ever-mindful of Mother Nature, we took our wee grand-daughter outside for a treasure hunt and filled a basket with fallen evergreen boughs, cones, and mountain-ash berries, now dried on the stem.

Little Miranda brimmed with excite-ment as she stuffed a clear ornament ball with natural

finds from our own backyard and happily declared the finished product – her first hand-made Christmas decoration – to be the “most favourite thing of all.”

Heart-melt-ing moments like that don’t arise at a shopping mall, where all manner of plastic wares are displayed in tempting array.

After five years of ‘going green’ for the festive season, the Scott clan have sur-vived, nay, thrived, by wrapping with re-usable, hand-sewn fabric gift bags, and stringing the tree with popcorn, cranberries, cinnamon sticks and gingerbread men.

Gone are the energy-thieving Christmas

lights of old, replaced with efficient LED lights, both indoors and out.

We flick on the exte-rior lights for only a few hours each eve-ning and switch them

off before we turn in for the night, then reap the reward of a reduced electric bill in January.

Our Christ-mas Eve fire is no longer a roaring pit

of carbon-spewing firewood, replaced now by sweet-smell-ing, smokeless bees-wax candles all in a row.

Paraffin candles, a petroleum product, are harmful to both health and the envi-ronment.

Battery-operated and plastic toys are banned in favour

of healthy wooden playthings finished in vegetable oil and hand-crafted gifts all around.

And finally, choosing a potted pyramidal cedar for a Christmas tree to plant outdoors after the festivities will result in a fine cedar hedge for wild-life to enjoy for years to come.

Holiday reading: Nature Campbell River and Nature Strathcona, and the Vancouver Island Backyard Bird Poster, are available at the Museum and Coho Books.

It could be a New Year’s Eve to remem-ber for Barry Kazimer of Campbell River as the retired military veteran has the oppor-tunity to walk away $1 million richer in TSN’s sixth annual, interna-tional million-dollar giveaway, the Chevro-let Volt Million Dollar Shootout.

As part of the con-test, Kazimer also has the chance to win up to three all-new 2012 Chevrolet Volts.

The big event airs live nationally on Dec. 31 during the first intermission of the 2012 IIHF World Junior Championship broad-cast featuring a classic cross-border match-up with Canada vs. USA (game starts at 7:30 p.m. ET on TSN). Fans can also take in the event on TSN Mobile TV.

Born in Comox and raised in Ottaw, 48-year old Kazimer is a retired master corporal with the Royal Canadian Air Force. Kazimer stays active by skiing and playing squash, base-ball and tennis, but he considers hockey to be his favourite sport and Sidney Crosby his favourite athlete. With just over a week to go until the Chev-rolet Volt Million Dol-lar Shootout, Kazimer plans to put in ample time at the rink prepar-ing for the event with the Campbell River Storm Junior B team. He is looking forward to having his family and friends with him in Edmonton when he heads to the ice to shoot for a million.

“Growing up, I played road hockey and shot pucks on back-yard rinks, so stepping on the ice in front of thousands of people at the World Juniors is a little different from what I’m used to,” said Kazimer.

As the selected par-t icipant , Kazimer receives a trip to Edmonton for him-self and five friends. On Dec. 31, Kazimer and his two shooters – cousin Stew Patter-son and brother-in-law Ken Bilski – head to centre ice during the first intermission, where they each have 15 seconds to shoot 10 pucks at an open net (30 pucks in total).

Depending on the number of total goals scored as a group, prizes are awarded as follows:

● 5-9 goals – Kazimer wins a new 2012 Chev-rolet Volt

● 10 goals or more – Kazimer, Patterson and Bilski each win a new 2012 Chevrolet Volt

Immediately follow-ing the group shots at centre ice, Kazimer moves back to the far blue line where he has 24 seconds to shoot 20 pucks into an open net. If Kazimer scores 15 or more goals within the allotted time, he is eli-gible to win $1 million in a one-time payout.

Kazimer was ran-domly selected from more than 26 million total online entries – a new record for the con-test.

The Black Creek Community Association

(BCCA) has come up with a solution to eliminate the biggest challenge for fitness room users.

The challenge: lim-ited open hours for the fitness room.

The solution: an access card system where pass-holders can swipe their way into the building between 6 a.m. and

midnight, 365 days a year.

Jerry Griffin on the Board of Direc-tors came up with the access card idea in the summer.

With a background in the fitness industry, Griffin has brought a fresh new vision and many ideas for the fit-ness room.

“The biggest limi-tation of the fitness room was the restric-tion of the hours for

users. The access sys-tem is used in other gyms and it seemed like the perfect fit to provide the opportu-nity for people to work out on their schedule, not the staff sched-ule,” notes Griffin.

The BCCA is a chari-table, not for profit community centre that offers a wide array of programs and has a wonderful fitness room facility.

The Association

is always striving to meet the needs of the community and to be more accessible for members.

As a result of a stra-tegic planning session in the winter, a sub-committee was formed to explore ways to increase usage and better promote the existing facility.

The Board of Direc-tors was quick to support the idea and it just took a few months to have the system installed and get everything up and running.

The access card sys-tem was scheduled to launch in January but the excitement in the community has lead to an earlier start.

“We have had such enthusiastic response from our members and it was important for us to get every-thing ready before the holidays as our hours are even further reduced through the holidays,” says Execu-tive Director, Kris Johnson.

New members are already joining because of the pass and existing pass-holders are already enjoying Friday evening and Sunday workouts for the first time.

The access card pass is available to any members of the BCCA with a fitness pass of at least three months in duration.

A membership to the Association is $15/year and three-month passes are $75 and other passes lengths are available.

There is no addi-tional charge for the access pass other than a $10 refundable card deposit.

The fitness room has several cardio machines, dumb-bells and a variety of weight training equip-ment and users have access to the showers and change rooms.

Free orientations of the fitness room are available for members.

For more informa-tion about the fitness room and a chance to win two Mount Wash-ington lift passes, give them a call at 250-337-5190 or visit www.bccaonline.ca.

The BCCA’s office hours are from 9:00 am to 1 p.m., Monday to Saturday, as well as 4-8 p.m., Monday to Thursday.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED LAWS: The Proposed Laws are a property taxation law and a property assessment law, both made under the authority of section 5(1)(a)(i) of the FSMA. The prop-erty assessment law provides for the assessment and valuation of interests in land on the reserve lands of We Wai Kai Nation, including appointing assessors, inspecting property, preparing assessment rolls, and mailing assessment notices. The property assessment law provides a process for reconsideration of assessments and for a right of appeal to an assessment review board. The property taxation law establishes a taxation regime that taxes interests in land in the reserve, and includes provisions for exemptions, grants, preparing tax rolls and tax notices, the levy of penalties and interest on unpaid taxes, and the collection and enforcement of unpaid taxes.

A COPY OF THE PROPOSED LAWS may be obtained from the We Wai Kai Nation Administra-tion Offi ces during offi ce hours (8:00 am – 4:00 pm Monday to Friday) located at either:

We Wai Kai Administration Offi ces We Wai Kai Administration Offi ces 690 Headstart Crescent #1 Weway Road Quinsam Reserve Cape Mudge Village Campbell River, BC Quadra Island, BC

THE COUNCIL OF WE WAI KAI NATION INVITES WRITTEN REPRESENTATIONS regarding the Proposed Laws. Written representations may be made to the Council only within sixty (60) days after December 16th, 2011 being February 14th 2012. Persons wishing to make a written representation must deliver the representation addressed to the Council:

We Wai Kai Nation 690 Headstart Crescent, Campbell River, BC V9H 1P8

Fax: (250) 914-1891

Representations must be received at this location on or before 4:00 pm February 14th 2012 in order to be considered by Council. Before making the Proposed Laws, Council will consider all written representations received in accordance with this Notice.

CONTACT INFORMATION: For further information or questions regarding the Proposed Laws, this Notice or the making of written representations to Council please contact Ms Lise Steele, Direc-tor of Lands and Natural Resources, at 690 Headstart Crescent, Campbell River, BC, V9H 1P8, by telephone at (250) 914-1890 extension 111 or by email at [email protected].

Bantams pay it forward Campbell River Minor Hockey Association Bantam Division players present Terilyn Morrison of the ScotiaBank with bags of new socks

for distribution to their charity of choice. As a small gesture of appreciation to ScotiaBank for sponsoring their division, players of the

Bantam division decided to pay the kindness forward. As players in the CRMHA are fortunate enought to receive a new pair of team

socks at the start of each season, players decided it would be fitting to donate a new pair of socks back to the community. Hundreds

of socks were collected.

The Rich’s Auto Collision Midget A Tyees unwrapped a golden pre-Christmas gift at the Comox Valley Midget Tournament.

The Tyees captured the gold medal game in claiming the championship at the Comox Valley Midget Tournament defeating the Cloverdale Colts 3-2 in the title game.

The round-robin portion of the tournament saw the Tyees face off against Juan de Fuca winning 4-1 and a 6-0 shutout against the Peninsula Eagles.

The Tyees then moved on to the semi-final game against the Tri-Port Eagles, completing a comeback to win 5-4. Down 4-0 in the third, the Tyees would not accept defeat and scored five goals in the third period with the tying goal scored at just over two minutes left in regulation by Alexander Dragolov with assists from Jordan Rauser and James Severs. The Tyees secured their chance at gold with the winning overtime goal scored by Rauser

The Campbell River Judo Club continued their Island tournament run in Victoria and eight competitors added to the club’s impressive medal collection this year.

For some of the older juniors, this was a selection event for the 2012 BC Winter Games, with Daniel Henry and Luke Lindenbach being chosen to represent the club in February.

Lindenbach fought his way to silver at the Dec. 11 tournament after losing his first fight.

Haley Henry

dominated her 48kg division for the second tournament, winning all of her matches and taking home the gold.

Jordann Warner had a good showing in a mixed division, winning silver. Anthony Henry and Sabastian Lafleur, having to fight in the same division, put on a very entertaining match for second and third place, with the fight coming down to a judges split decision in favour of Lafleur.

Brothers James and Paul Smurthwaite had great fights in their second tournament this year

placing second and fourth respectively, as well as Hayden Teramura competing in his first ever tournament in which

he won bronze. The Campbell River Judo Club’s 2012 season begins Jan 4, for more information visit www.crjudoclub.com

and an assist by Severs.

In the final, the

Tyees faced the Colts in a hard fought battle. The Tyees found themselves down 2-0

in the third period when the Tyees’ defenceman, Rauser, assisted by Landon

Walters, scored with just over five minutes left in the third period. This changed the momentum of the game producing the game tying goal by Austin Stover-Pearson with just 1:44 left in regulation. An intense battle on ice in overtime saw Rauser, with assists from Severs and John Kretzschmar, scoring the game winner.

Severs led the team in points with two goals and five assists. Dragolov had three goals and three assists; Tyson Fair - one goal and four assists; Calvin Chomeczko – three goals and two assists; Rauser – four goals; Kretzschmar – one goal and two assists; Colton Erickson – one goal two assists; Walters – one goal and one assist; Tyler Clark – two goals, one assist; Domenic Kolbeins – one goal, two assists; Beattie – three assists; Hunter Fahey – one goal; Chaz Wernig - one assist; Stover-Pearson – one goal; Mike Weston – one goal. Ryan Howich played strong defensively throughout the tournament.

Goaltending was very strong with Nathan Hoff getting a shutout and game saving net minding from Colton Thompson. The Tyees will partake in the Richmond International Hockey Tournament next week.

The Comox Strathcona waste management service supports reducing holiday waste as you shop, entertain and clean up after the holiday celebrations. Recycling is one way to “reduce holiday waste” but the real key to making a dent on the amount of holiday waste is to move beyond recycling to reuse and reduce. When everyone does their part to “reduce holiday waste” our region can rejoice knowing that all our efforts made a big difference at our local landfills.

For holiday waste reduction tips and resources visit www.cswm.ca/greenholidays.html

Follow comoxvalleyrd

After the holiday season, what will you do with your Christmas tree?

Don’t worry,I know what

to do.

Thankfully, there are many convenient and environmentally friendly ways to dispose of your tree.

There are a number of tree chipping events in the region.

Note: Christmas trees that are cut in half with each half no longer than three feet in length will also be picked up on regular waste pick up days in the Town of Comox and City of Courtenay. Curbside pick up of Christmas trees for Royston residents is Thursday, Jan 5, 2012.

TAKE US WITH YOU FRIDAY, DECEMBER 23, 2011 | CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR | A31

Do you know us?We assume this copy of the Campbell River Mirror was intended for our Take Us With You

feature, unfortunately, we don’t know who our travelling companions are. A 2GB SD Card was

found and dropped off at the Mirror office suggesting we might be able to reunite a card full
