Uncorking wine festival: Hospitality students to

celebrate fruit of the vine A&E Pg. 13

Pink was the prime colour this fall.

That would be pink salmon whose spectacular returns – the best in 50 years coast wide – exceeded all

expectations.“We had the biggest year in the

recorded history,” said Dave Ewart, manager of the Quinsam River Hatchery. “We had one million when all was said and done.”

That’s four times more than the Campbell River and Quinsam River

systems require to support future stocks, but more is definitely better than too few.

It was also a bonanza for river anglers who were able to catch and keep four pinks a day as well as local First Nations; the A-Tlegay Fisheries Society was able to harvest

155,000 pinks from the river.“We have the ability to manage the

river and that’s good,” says Ewart.For instance, hatchery staff know

that more fish in the upper reaches of the Quinsam River do not trans-late into more juvenile fish. Their

Rivers were positively pink this fall

Typhoon reliefA fundraiser to hekp

Philippines residents hit by Typhoon Haiyan is being held at Superstore this weekend.

Donations are being accepted at Superstore today, Saturday and Sunday. Haiyan hit the city of Tacloban and has killed approximately 10,000 people. Drop off donations this weekend. Efforts are underway by the Campbell River Filipino Canada Cultural Assocation to hold another fundraiser on Nov. 23. Watch the Mirror for more information.

and theft over $5,000.Howe ver, charges

against her were dropped by the prosecution in exchange for husband’s guilty plea and that didn’t sit well with other com-mittee members, who believed she had far more to do with the thefts.

“They’re not espe-cially happy with the way this has turned out,” Crown prosecutor David Fitzsimmons told the court.

Jessica Taylor was chair of the advisory commit-tee and her husband was the treasurer when pro-ceeds in 2011 from fun-draisers to build a new school playground never made it into the group’s bank accounts.

Neil Taylor later told police the family was

running short on money for rent, bills and food, and used the donations to pay for those things.

He had intended to repay the money, but never did until other committee members suspected something was amiss and he came clean with them which led to a lengthy RCMP investiga-tion and charges.

F i tzs immons to ld Judge Brian Saunderson this is not an uncommon crime.

Ne i l Ta y l o r h a s repaid the full amount, $9,189.25, but that’s not the point said the pros-ecutor.

“It’s not their money,” he said. “This is a crime committed after it’s been thought through.”

Fitzsimmons called for a jail sentence or a “rigor-

ous community sentence order.” He added the pri-mary consideration must be general deterrence, especially for others who are in positions of trust with community-raised donations.

Defence lawyer James Hormoth cal led on the judge to impose a community sentence, meaning that Neil Tay-lor would not go to jail. Hormoth described his client as a, “Dedicated husband and father. A hard-working man who fell on hard times.”

Neil Taylor is now working at a camp job and spends 20 days in Alberta and eight days off at home in Campbell River.

Education Committee Meeting Structure to Change

The Board of Education

has decided to change the format of the district’s Education Committee Meetings in an attempt to make them more valuable for trustees, parents and school communities.

Meetings will now be

held three times a year and centered on a district educational focus instead of on an individual school. The meetings will still be held on a rotational basis within school.

About 12 local business owners attended a public open house Wednesday to speak about shipping containers but most quickly started to won-der why they were even there.

A poll of the room revealed everyone in attendance, minus three councillors and two city staffers, was against the city’s proposed bylaw to restrict the use of shipping containers to industrial zoned proper-ties only.

City Planner Chris Osbourne, who chaired Wednesday night’s meet-ing at the Enterprise Centre, said the pro-posed bylaw was drafted in response to com-plaints from the public about the visual impacts of containers.

Richard McCay of Rich’s Auto Collision asked Osborne just how many people com-plained.

Osborne’s response?“I can’t answer that.”When pressed again,

Osborne responded that he “didn’t have that infor-mation.”

That prompted Dave Christ ian, with the Campbell River Har-bour Authority, to say he didn’t think there ever were any complaints.

Kermit Dahl, owner of Associated Tire, agreed.

“I think some city plan-ner made this up because he had nothing else to do,” Dahl said.

Dave Atkinson was also skeptical.

“I think we’re so skepti-cal because we don’t per-ceive these containers to be a problem and if there were a problem we’d sure see the people down here complaining about them,” Atkinson said. “I guarantee if they didn’t like them, they’d be here. They’d be vocal about it, and they’re not.”

During a public hear-ing into the shipping containers at city hall July 23, only one per-son – Alan Edie, owner of the Campbell River Common mall – spoke in favour of the proposed bylaw while everyone else spoke against.

That prompted council to hold off on making a decision until the city heard from the business owners who stand to be affected.

Christian, who spoke from his experience with the Harbour Authority, said that banning the containers was taking away a legitimate tool from legitimate busi-nesses.

“We’ve lost the Cana-dian Fishing Company barge and a lot of fisher-men have gone to these containers and I would describe it as the perfect tool to do the job,” said

Container users skeptical about city’s data

Christian who noted fishermen use them to store machinery and other necessary supplies. “It’s going to create a lot of problems for that industry if they lose that tool, they don’t have the store front.”

Christian said from his point of view, contain-ers are not a ballooning problem in Campbell River and he doesn’t understand why city staff have latched on to ship-ping containers.

“What has instigated this issue? We’re all scratching our head, why is this such a problem?” Christian wondered. “This is a non-issue. To micro-manage this to

the nth degree is counter productive. It’s not okay. There’s an opportunity for making some com-mon sense guidelines but to banish them to just industrial and the out-skirts is going to cause so many problems.”

At the public hearing in July, Ross Blackwell, the city’s land use manager who was not in atten-dance at Wednesday’s open house, said the bylaw was in response to complaints about the aesthetics of the contain-ers. Some of the business owners, however, think there’s a better way to go about eliminating the eyesores.

A r e p r e s e n t a t i v e from E&B Helicopters

Wednesday night sug-gested to Osborne that city staff could regulate the use of the containers to ensure they’re cleaned up and painted to match the rest of the property.

Mayor Walter Jakeway told Osborne the city should just drop the issue all together.

“The easiest way to do it is to just not bring this back to council – just drop it,” Jakeway said. “This is terrible timing with the economy just recovering. Just drop it.”

Coun. Ron Kerr, who was also in attendance at the open house, backed the business owners.

The McIvor Lake area poses the greatest risk for a wildfire in Camp-bell River.

That’s according to a recent report conducted by Strategic Natural Resource Consultants for a Community Wild-fire Protection Plan.

Leigh Stalker, a pro-fessional forester with Strategic, said while the threat of wildfires for

most of Campbell River is low, there are areas that caught the attention of the consultants.

“The far, far majority of the areas came out mild or moderate (risk) but a few were high, such as the block around McIvor Lake,” said Stalker dur-ing a presentation of the report to the Strathcona Regional District board on Wednesday after-noon.

The reason being, there are a lot of conifer-

ous trees growing close together and the area is somewhat remote and difficult for firefighters to access because of the long, gravel road that winds around the lake. There’s also a locked gate blocking access to the homes.

Other areas of con-cern are Gordon Road because of the high concentration of trees, and Blue Spruce Mobile Home Park on Duncan Bay Road.

However, Stalker was quick to point out that wildfires within the city boundaries are not very common due to “regula-tion from the ocean.”

The fires that do ignite are typically not a result of Mother Nature.

“The far majority of wildfires here are human-caused which indicates there is poten-tial for a drastic reduc-tion of wildfires with various prevention strat-egies,” Stalker said.

Those strategies should include public education and increased training. Stalker suggested it may be beneficial for the local fire department to offer basic fire suppression training for city officials to improve local opera-tional knowledge.

Strategic’s report also recommended improved fire-fighting efficiency in the McIvor Lake area

such as installing a fire hydrant at the top of General Hill and looking into an alternate water source near McIvor Lake residences such as a water tower.

The report also sug-gested bylaw improve-ments such as allowing the Campbell River Fire Department to respond to wildfires outside of the local service area.

While the report was specific to Campbell River, the report was requested by the Strath-cona Regional District.

Campbell River is the last of the regions within the regional district to have its Community Wildfire Plan updated.

The report and all of its findings will be submit-ted to Campbell River city council for review.

The ins and outs of the BC NDP’s 2013 provincial election defeat would bore all but the most hardcore supporter. But there is one good reason to at least

acknowledge that the exercise in self-flagellation had to be done, even if you’re not inclined to actually read the party’s 20-page election review released last Friday.

The reason is this: There is no other game in town. Sorry, Conservatives and Greens, the New Democrats have

the history, the base and the infrastructure so until something better comes along, they are the province’s

best chance at keeping the BC Liberals honest.Right now, the next election isn’t a big concern and

the NDP can lick their wounds all they want. Premier Christy Clark is still in the honeymoon phase of her term (according to a recent Angus Reid poll, she’s the second highest rated premier in the country). She may even have something going for her, having learned some tough lessons from her predecessor, and she’s cleaning house.

True, Clark hasn’t been tested much in the legislature but we know what to expect when she finally walks through the door. She’ll defend to the teeth her government’s Core Review of Everything including the Agricultural Land Review, the budget, the throne speech

and anything else that’s thrown her way. But one day, even Clark’s government will seem dated. A party too long in power rarely escapes folly, arrogance and scandal (and you can be excused for thinking the BC Liberals had reached that stage before the May election).

When that day comes, as it will, B.C. will need a thick-skinned leader, sharp of retort and without stain to be in fighting mode. The NDP review holds out some hope that this will be the case. Is the party’s review too much “whine” and not enough cheese. Yes, it lacks punch and has a sour smell. But if it puts teeth back in the tiger keeping an eye on our leaders, that will be a good thing.

B.C. needs NDP to be sharp and readyOur ViewOur View

Logger Mike gives the city a lesson in tree growing

We say: Party needs effective leadership for watchdog role

I saddled up to the counter, awaiting a steaming rooibus tea, when a low voice displaced the pleasant conversation I was making with the cute server.

“Quercus coccinea, therein lies the problem,” Logger Mike stated ominously with a righteous nod.

“What? Are you having a stroke?” I replied testily at the interruption.

Big Mike smiled, tipped his yellow hat to the bemused young lady behind the counter and thumped me heavily between the shoulder blades.

“I’ve got this guy’s and I’ll have cof-fee – black, straight up,” Mike said with a wink.

Again, nothing but surprises from Campbell River’s oversized sentinel who towers over the rest of us and sees and hears all from his downtown spar pole.

“You must want something,” I replied.“No, no, just throwing the dog a bone,”

he said, cackling with laughter. “I just thought it was time you learned some-thing truly important about our city.”

I said nothing and awaited the revela-tion.

“Look around,” Logger Mike began with a sweep of his long arm, nearly knocking the coffee off the next table, “We’re surrounded by forest and some-how we haven’t learned to properly grow trees in Campbell River! Here, lemme show ya.”

We strolled Shoppers Row as small children gawked at the huge yellow man while their moms continued texting and driving, and he pointed up.

“Platanus x acerifolia,” he said, pluck-ing a leaf.

“Okay, enough Latin, just spell it out,” I said impatiently.

“It’s the London plane tree and while they might look pretty, their roots are bad news for the sewers and all the underground infrastructure,” he said matter-of-factly. “And they’re driving the business owners nuts!”

He continued on to the corner of the highway and St. Ann’s Road, “Quercus coccinea, remember?” he said, looking at the blank look on my face. “They are the new scarlet oaks the city just planted on their newly repaved street and they just could be worse than the London planes!”

I scoffed, “No, no, that’s not what the city said, they will contain the roots and the trees won’t grow...”

“Stop! You believe everything the city tells you?” he asked. “Let me point out

that a full-grown scarlet oak can have a 50-foot canopy AND acorns much larger than your average oak.

“To make it worse, when you contain a tree that’s supposed to grow big, you’re probably going end up with the tooth-picks we had on South Dogwood.”

H’mm, he was starting to make sense, yet again, as I thought of the spindly, stunted and dying trees on South Dog-wood that hadn’t grown two inches in 14 years. They were recently uprooted and will be replaced with 80 European horn-beam trees, which don’t exactly sound like a native species, like the scarlet oak.

“And what about your downtown twig? Nervous?” I asked Big Mike.

“Nope,” he said with a wink. “I made sure they used plenty of concrete to anchor my spar pole!”

Instead of an expensive engineering adjustment to accom-modate buses turning right from Shoppers Row on to St Anns, perhaps the city can find a cheaper, easier solution.

Perhaps they could move the stop line for traffic turning left from St Ann’s on to Shoppers Row, moving it back up St. Ann’s by seven or eight feet. This solution is already used in other intersections in town and could be used here, giving buses plenty of room to navigate the corner. And all it would take is some paint.

Cheap and easy solution

Paul RudanNo, really

The disgusting debacle in the Senate has shown one thing, we don’t need them. They have not done a single thing in over 100 years.

Mr. Harper recently shut down the Vancouver Coast Guard station, putting mariners at risk to save less than $1 million.

The wages for 106 (friends and losers of PMs) comes to almost $14 million. That is the cheap part, remember they all have to have secretaries, they travel first class everywhere they go. They can take their families with them and they have one of the best health and insurance plans in the country

It is time. Grandfather them out and don’t replace them, find somewhere else to place your friends Mr. Harper and future prime ministers

Time to get rid of the Senate

research shows that 200,000-250,000 is the maximum the river can support.

In other words, says Ewart, more spawners results in the same num-ber, or fewer, juvenile fish. By trying to reach the ideal “escapement” numbers, the goal is to provide young salmon with more than enough space to feed and grow before they head out to sea.

Coho salmon returns were also healthy this year. Up until the recent rainfalls, anglers were catching Oyster River and Black Creek coho just south of the city.

And when the rains fell, the coho started up the Campbell and Quin-sam rivers as well.

“They’re coming in right now. They were getting anxious,” Ewart said last week. “Last year we had about 8,000. So far we’ve counted about 6,500 and there’s more to come, probably 1,000 to 2,000 more.”

There were some big chinook caught in the Tyee Pool at the mouth of the Campbell River this year, but river returns were down, to about 4,000, but the count con-tinues.

“It’s on the low side of average. This age class looks bigger, older and larger, but there’s not as many. It’s the same on the Puntledge and Qua-licum (rivers) too,” noted Ewart, who is otherwise pleased with fish returns. “It’s been another big year.”

Phillips System

It’s been a good year for chinook salmon on the Phillips system and Rupert Gale is hoping Christmas comes early.

“We’re still in the midst of our stock assessment,” he said during an inter-

view last month, “but we think the returns are very strong. So far we’ve tagged 30 per cent more fish this year and it seems a lot of fish in the river are large fish.”

Gale is president of the Gillard Pass Fisher-ies Association which is working to revive the run of wild chinook on the Phillips River and Lake system located on the Mainland, east of Campbell River. The sys-tem supports all five spe-cies of Pacific salmon, but it’s the iconic big chinook that needed the most help. That’s why the association embarked on a pilot project that takes wild Phillips brood stock, transports them to

the deep and cold waters of Great Central Lake on Vancouver Island, and then returns them after a full year to the Phillips systems.

The goal is to pro-duce more robust smolts which migrate to sea, are better able to sur-vive ocean conditions, and return in greater numbers. They’re in year three of the five-year project, and this fall some of the first fish – now four years old – are expected back.

And that’s why Gale is hoping for the early Christmas. The data retrieved from this year’s catch of brood stock won’t be ready until December, and Gale is

anxious to see the num-bers.

“During one brood set this fall, we caught 84 chinook – and the aver-age size of more than half the fish was over 30 pounds,” he said.

The Gillard Pass Fish-eries Association is sup-ported by the Kwiakah First Nation, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, and the many fishing resorts scattered through the Discovery Islands.

During the association’s annual fundraiser on Stuart Island in August, more than 350 people came out – including Canadian icon Rick Han-sen – and raised more than $130,000 to support salmon enhancement.

Many pet owners enjoy taking their four-legged friends with them when running errands. But when the weather is especially cold and harsh, pet owners may want to leave their pets behind in the warmth and comfort of indoors. There are other tactics to keeping pets safe when the winter arrives in earnest.

Keep pets away from antifreezeAntifreeze emits a sweet smell, which is often inviting to dogs and cats. But antifreeze is lethal in small doses, so it's best to keep pets out of your garage and away from your driveway, where antifreeze may leak. Antifreeze can prove especially harmful to pets if it contains ethylene glycol

as the main ingredient. There are safer alternatives, but even the safest antifreezes can be lethal when consumed in high quantities.Protect their pawsRock salt on sidewalks can effectively melt ice

and snow. But rock salt also can be very irritating to pets' paws. Remember to wipe your pet's feet when coming indoors after walking on surfaces treated with salt or another melting agent. This will help to remove excess particles and prevent your pet from getting ill when the animal licks its paws clean.

Keep pets indoors on cold daysDon't allow pets outside when the temperature falls below 20 F, as pets are at risk of frostbite or hypothermia when exposed to such temperatures. Puppies, kittens and short-haired pets may be more susceptible to the cold and should be kept in when temperatures dip below 40 F.

Look out for animals seeking shelterOutdoor cats and other animals may choose your car engine as a cozy place to spend the night. A warm engine provides enough heat to ward off the chill. You may have a cat under your hood and not know it. Beep the horn before starting the car to scare the animal away. Otherwise the cat could be severely injured when the car is started.

Do not leave a pet alone in a carIt is unwise to leave a pet unattended in a parked car. It may seem that the interior is warmer than outside, but the temperature in the car can drop quickly. Never leave a pet locked in a car, especially in harsh weather conditions.

Fleas are blood-feeding parasites that can infest many species of birds and mammals. Although there are different kinds of fleas, the most common fleas that affects our pets is the cat flea. Flea bites can trigger severe allergic reactions in some pets. The flea saliva contains histamine-like substances that can be irritating. This intense itchiness can be so extreme that it causes pets to scratch, bite and chew themselves excessively. This can lead to skin wounds, and infections, and general misery for your pet. Even in your pet is not allergic to flea bites, fleas can transmit serious diseases, such as bartonellosis (the bacteria that

causes “cat scratch disease’ in humans). There is also a close relationship between tapeworm infestations and fleas.

Fleas are very successful parasites. They can survive for long periods of time under a surprising range of conditions. Developing fleas

can even become dormant for up to 1 year if there are no hosts available. You can bring fleas into your home on your clothing, and any people or animals that come into your home can also bring fleas with them. Once fleas find a host, they begin to feed almost immediately. They lay large numbers of eggs, which eventually mature into new fleas that continue the infestation. Adult fleas may remain on an animal, but the eggs and larvae fall off the animal and remain in the environment. Flea larvae are mobile, and they can hide in places such as carpeting, bedding, furniture, and under baseboards. Once they mature, they take the first opportunity to jump onto an animal or person and begin to feed, continuing

their life cycle.

Campbell River harbors fleas year round and the majority of skin issues that we see this winter are due to flea infestation or flea allergies. The Campbell River community should be aware that issues are not just prevalent in the spring and summer, but all

year round. We recommend flea control on all our pets year round. Please contact your family veterinarian to find out about the newest preventative products available for your pets.

Last year the Campbell River Community

Band experimented with a family friendly after-noon concert.

The response was so good that they are doing it again, with “As the

River Flows……” on Sunday.

The 2 p.m. concert, to be held in the Carihi multi-purpose room, will include home-made refreshments and a chance for the audi-ence to mingle with the

band members after the concert.

Because the concert isn’t too long parents are encouraged to bring their children - there will even be a way for them to participate in one of the musical num-bers.

Because so many cit-ies are situated on riv-ers, founding director Céline Ouellette has found a wealth of river-themed music for this concert, starting with a suite by Mark Williams entitled Campbell River Sketches.

One of Canada’s mightiest rivers is

depicted in Steve Hodges’ McKenzie River

Quest, while Shannon Falls, by Ralph Ford, takes us to Sea to Sky country.

The Great Steamboat Race and Cotton Ferry Expedition, with their unique sound effects and hints of rag time and Dixieland, suggest the early days of the river boats on the Mis-sissippi River.

American composer Frank Ticheli has used the folk song Shenan-doah as the basis for an evocative and very pop-ular addition to concert band repertoire.

A folk song is also the basis of Claude T.

Smith’s The Water is Wide.

Explorers came to North America in tall ships.

Half Moon on the Hudson, by Michael Sweeney tells of a voyage of exploration, nearly 400 years ago, by Henry Hudson on his ship, the Half Moon.

Jay Chattaway has given us a powerful and exciting piece of music with his Parade of the Tall Ships.

The world of Broad-way and the movies is represented by a medley of highlights from Show Boat, and an arrange-

ment of Mancini’s Moon River.

Bands and marches go together, so the concert will end with Kenneth J. Alford’s stirring Armies of the Nile.

The Campbell River Community Band, made up of musicians all ages and abilities, has been playing together for eighteen years.

They have played in many concerts and fes-tivals, including a gold medal performance at a national band festival.

Tickets for the concert are $5, or $12 for a fam-ily, and are available at the door.

Concussion is a Brain Injury? You don't have to have passed out to have suffered a concussion. Some people will have obvious symptoms of a concussion, such as passing out or forgetting what happened right before the injury. Others will only experience brief gaps in memory or disorientation.Minor concussions can cause serious problems. Repeated concussions or a severe concussion may lead to long-lasting problems with movement, learning or speech. Because of the small chance of permanent brain problems, it is important to get the right diagnosis and treatment. We can act onyour behalf to get you the best medical specialist possible.

The CTS model is a lighter car, made of high tensile steel. It is stiffer, safer, handles better, and above all, is more efficient. ZACK SPENCER

Cadillac in the rear-view mirror of the European premium brands2014 Cadillac CTS

One auto trend that shows little sign of waning is the move towards more luxury or premium cars by manufactur-ers and consumers alike.As baby boomers age, they have earned the nicer things in life, and the offspring of baby boomers are getting used to the finer things in life, so more automakers are moving upscale. The Europeans do luxury and perfor-mance better than most and the Japa-nese luxury brands have been putting in their time to becoming a real force. But long before the Japanese, there have always been the American luxury brands, with many firsts in features and technology. Established in 1902, Cadillac is one of the oldest, along with Mercedes-Benz, and continues to be General Motors’ flagship in terms of refinement and technology.

Looks The smaller Cadillac ATS was released a year ago and went on to win the North American Car of the Year award. General Motors has taken that platform and elongated it to produce the lightest mid-sized car in its class. It’s a full 173kg lighter than the benchmark BMW 5-Series it competes against, and 34kg lighter than the outgoing car. A lighter car, made of

high tensile steel, is stiffer, safer, handles better and above all is more efficient. What Cadillac didn’t change was the edgy design language they have become known for. The LED accent lights are especially attractive at night and run vertical compared to most cars’ horizontal approach. The longer and lower stance of the CTS makes it look athletic, yet elegant. The one weak area is the back. It lacks the same visual punch as the impressive front grille and headlamps.

Inside The new CTS is lighter than the BMW but it is a bit smaller inside. It’s not as wide and the back seat is a bit shorter. Front seat passengers are treated to plenty of room and a view onto the dash is impressive. The centre console has a touch-screen system called CUE, which has rich colours and striking graphics. The heat, volume and a few other controls are all touch-sen-sitive, meaning they have no dials or switches. The problem is it shows fingerprints and dust against the shiny black plastic.

Drive With a lighter car comes a better perform-ing car, but the heart of any luxury performance car is a solid engine. On this front, Cadillac offers three options and all three have more power than the closest com-petitors. The first is the same 2.0L turbocharged engine used by the ATS. With 272hp it is well above the 240hp offered in the BMW 528i. The

carryover engine is the direct injection 3.6L V6 with 321hp, again more than the 300hp in the 535i. The top of range motor, for now, is the Vsport model with a twin turbocharged version of the 3.6L engine, putting out 420hp. You guessed it, more power than the 400hp found in the V8 550i. The Vsport is only sold as a rear wheel drive car (RWD) where all the others are available with all wheel drive (AWD). The catch is that AWD models come with an 8-speed automatic transmission, but the AWD versions are fitted with a 6-speed unit. The steering offers good feedback to the driver and the suspension is smooth, yet lively, and has a nearly perfect 50/50 weight distribution.

Verdict The price of the CTS ranges from about $51,000 for the base model to $66,000 for the top premium trim level. The Vsport, high performance model is priced at almost $75,000. The Cadillac CTS is not an inexpensive car, but it offers many features like stan-dard heated and vented leather seats, Bose stereo and push button start even on the base model. Compared to some of the other mid-sized luxury sedans it is less expensive, plus it is a worthy car for any driving enthusiast.

The Lowdown Power: 2.0L 4-cylinder with 155hp 3.6L V6 with 321hp or Turbo 3.6L with 420hpFill-up: 10.5L/6.6L/100km (city/highway 2.0L turbo) Sticker price: $$50,895-$74,495

B.C. racecar driv-er Cherie Storms told me she was taking an advanced driver training course to appease her father’s wishes.She’d been put-ting it off since teenagedom. That said, her father is an accomplished racecar driver and a proficient motorist, so you could argue it was an inevita-bility. But she had to

find the desire in herself first. What followed, even she didn’t think would happen. She recently took home the championship title for the B Spec series in her Mazda2 for the 2013 race season.She grew up in a motorsports household but it wasn’t until she actually got behind the wheel at the driving course that her mindset changed.“I was just overwhelmed with all of the technical aspects that it takes to be a good driver,” she stated.It’s like what my grade 12 math teacher always said, “Math is not a spectator sport.”There was even a poster on the cubicle wall to remind us.The same thing goes for driving. Except there’s no poster in the cubicle for that!We need to be an active participant, not a wall-flower. Anyone who has taken advanced driving courses will know exactly what Cherie is talking about.It’s not just about knowing how to shift gears on a manual transmission without jerking the car, or parallel parking your sedan without curbing the rims. Driving is so much more.

I understand that this mode of transportation is a necessity for many. And it’s something done out of convenience rather than love. Kind of like laundry or grouting the bathroom floor tiles. Then again, for others, it’s a passion. Myself included. Taking a specialized course, whether it’s a track day or a race school isn’t just for wannabe racers. It’s for everyone. And we can all learn if we have an open mind.We read to keep our mind sharp. We walk/run/work out to keep our bodies active. We sleep to keep our bodies functioning. Why should driv-ing be any different? Why shouldn’t we actively engage in making ourselves better drivers? Every time you get behind the wheel of a ve-hicle, there’s a possibility you can change your life or the lives of others. We might not think too much about it, but operating a vehicle is a huge responsibility.Poor driving habits, not shoulder checking, not using your signals, driving in the left lane when you’re not passing are minor details in the grand scheme of things, but have a large impact. It’s never too late to refresh the basics and then pick up a few new good habits.For example, if you look at any of the top ath-letes in their sport, they’re training most of the time. They’re trying to perfect their craft, even when they’re at the top of it.I doubt Sebastian Vettel slums around in his down time, even after winning his fourth con-secutive Formula1 world championship. Sure, he gets a break, but he’s constantly training to be faster and stronger. In another interview, I chatted with Izod Indy racecar driver Simona de Silvestro. She tells me that there’s really no such thing as an “off-sea-son.” She says she trains all year long. In fact, she trains harder when she’s not always behind the wheel of a car to prepare for the upcoming races.

If the pros do it, we should to.Some of the most fun I’ve had behind the wheel of a car has been at a driving school. Whether it was the three-day racing school at the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca with the Skip Barber program, or a track day at the Mission Raceway with Morrisport Advanced Driving, or even a track program close to you, it’s a win-win. If we’re all safer drivers then the chances of accidents are minimized and we can keep our ve-hicles dent-free longer. And avoid going through insurance claims. The few hundred dollars it takes to enrol is of infinite worth in the long [email protected]/cargirlsgarage

Perpetual Driving Self-Betterment: Because You’re Worth It

Merc E-Class is a class of its own

B.C. racecar driver Cherie Storms

Mercedes-Benz E-Class 2010 to 2012An all-new 2010-model year E-Class Coupe beat its sedan counterpart into Canadian Mercedes-Benz dealerships, in mid-2009. Style, safety and comfort are fundamental characteristics of an E-Class, which is considered to be one of the safest cars in the

world. This generation E-Class came with ten air bags and a new Pre-Safe system that readies all on-board safety systems, when it detects that a collision may be about to happen. A car to savour on a long road trip, this E-Class came with a new “Intelligent” body structure that’s 30 per cent more rigid than its predeces-sor, incredibly comfortable seating and a newly developed suspension with shock absorbers that automatically adjust to a driving situation.

An optional air suspension was also available with an electronic damping system.The E350 (coupe or sedan) is powered by a 3.5 litre V6 with 268 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. The E550 (coupe or sedan) has a 5.5 litre V8 that can generate 382 hp and 391 lb-ft of torque. The sedan also comes in a high-performance AMG 63 edition with a 6.2-litre V8 that makes 518 horsepower and 465 lb.-ft. of torque. All three engines are mated to a 7-speed auto-matic transmission and drive goes to the rear wheels of the Coupe and to all four wheels of the Sedan. The rear-drive 3.5L V6 gets best fuel economy at 11.9 L/100/km in the city and 7.6 L/100/km on the highway. The 6.2L V8 is the gas guzzler, with a city/highway rating of 16.5/10.2 L/100/km. All three engines also prefer premium fuel. A standard Dynamic Handling package also allows the driver choose a sporty-set-up at the touch of a button. This changes the continuously variable damping, the speed-sensitive power steering (with variable centering), ESP/ASR (trac-tion control), accelerator response, and speed of automatic gear changes. New active safety innovations included Attention Assist, which is a driver drowsiness monitor, Pre-Safe, which is preventative occupant protection system, Adaptive High Beam Assist, which automatically dims headlight high beams, and

an automatic emergency braking system called Distronic Plus.Attention Assist is a warning system that can sense a drop in driver attention level. It contin-uously monitors more than 70 different driver performance parameters, such as erratic steering behaviour, and will signal when it’s time for the driver to take a break. Four new E-Class models were added for the 2011 model year: an E350 4MATIC station wag-on, E350 BlueTEC diesel sedan, and two convert-ibles, the E350 cabriolet and E550 cabriolet. At highway cruising speeds you can barely hear the E350 BlueTEC diesel engine, throttle response is fast (for a diesel) and pulling power (398 lb ft of torque from 1600 to 2400 rpm) is phenomenal. Engine upgrades followed in 2012. The E350 4MATIC got a direct-injection 3.5-litre V6. The E550 4MATIC got a 4.6-litre bi-turbo V8 and the E63 AMG got a 5.5-litre bi-turbo V8. All models also receive a revised transmission, electric power steering and LED license plates.Even though owner costs tend to be higher than average, the E-Class made Consumer Reports’ ‘Recommended list of cars to buy and the E350 BlueTEC was singled out for special praise. If style, comfort and safety top your auto “wish list”, and you’ve got the money, consider the remarkable Mercedes-Benz E-Class.

A Green Light Doesn’t Always Mean Go

The next time you are at the front of the lineup waiting for the signal to turn green, watch the driver beside you. Many times when the traffic signal turns green they will immediately proceed without looking to the left or right for hazards or traffic already lawfully in the intersection. A green light doesn’t always mean go.

There are three situations where drivers facing a green light must not proceed immediately. Most people already follow these three exceptions, but failing to take them into account can cause confusion or a crash.

The first of the three is a situation where turning direction controls are in place. The driver may only proceed as indicated by these signals.

The second is where there is a pedestrian lawfully in the intersection or adjacent crosswalk at the time the signal is green. Drivers must yield to these pedestrians.

The final situation is where a vehicle has entered the intersection waiting to turn and has been unable to do so before the signal goes red. Cross traffic on the new green signal must yield right of way to allow the first vehicle to clear the intersection.

Truck tires tread lightly in the snow

The temperature is starting to drop, the leaves are clogging up the streets and snow is begin-ning to fall in parts in parts of B.C.Driving in the winter season brings challenges no matter which part of the province you call home. My remarks are aimed chiefly at truck owners but the

message is common for all: driv-er and vehicles must be equally prepared. In winter, braking and stopping vehicles of all kinds is perhaps where most of us get into trou-ble. The tires play a critical role in stopping the vehicle, and so they need even more care and atten-tion than in the other seasons. Most SUVs have a passenger car tire classification with M+S stamped on the sidewall, for Mud and Snow and are con-sidered all- season tires. If it is not, your vehicle must be fitted with tires suitable for any type of climate, even the most severe ones. In winter the pressure of the tire must also be controlled more frequently. This is because a re-duction of the outside tempera-ture causes a contraction of the air inside the tire, accelerating the normal and gradual pressure loss process by a value around 1-2 PSI for each 5° C decrease in

temperature. Contrary to popular opinion, a lower inflation pressure than normal does not improve tire traction on snow. It makes them much more prone to damage. Always remember that in any season and with any temperature, insufficient pressure is always the main cause of tire damage.Use brakes carefully. Brake early. Brake correctly. It takes more time and distance to stop in icy con-ditions. Watch for slippery bridge decks, even when the rest of the pavement is in good condition. Bridge decks will ice up sooner than the pavement. Do not use the cruise control in winter conditions. Even roads that appear clear can have sud-den slippery spots and the short touch of your brakes to deacti-vate the cruise control feature

can cause you to lose control of your vehicle. Don’t get overconfident in your 4x4 vehicle. Remember that your four-wheel drive vehicle may help you get going quicker than other vehicles but it won’t help you stop any faster. Besides, many 4x4 vehicles are heavier

than passenger vehicles and actually may take longer to stop. And don’t bank on your 4x4’s traction. Your 4x4 can lose trac-tion as quickly as a two-wheel drive vehicle. If your vehicle is equipped with anti-lock brakes, do not pump them in attempting to stop. The

right way is to steer into the skid while applying the brake pedal evenly. Look farther ahead in traffic than you normally do. Actions by cars and trucks will alert you quicker to problems and give you a split second extra time to react safely. [email protected]

‘‘Remember that your four-wheel drive vehicle may help you get going quicker than other vehicles but it won’t help you stop any faster..’’Ian Harwood Driving in the winter season brings challenges no matter which part of the province you call home.

‘‘Electric vehicles are frequently dismissed as being good only for urban dwellers.’’Keith Morgan

People point and laugh at Jim Knowles when he drives his Smart Fortwo Electric Drive through downtown Campbell River.

But he and his wife Cath-erine have the last laugh when they open up their hydro bill.

“I think the last bill was just a few dollars more than the one we got before we bought the car in July so that’s inexpensive driving,” said Knowles.

“I work out at the airport and so I travel about 10 kilometres each way every day. I never let the battery

go below 20 percent but I still find I can sometimes go four days before I plug it in overnight.”

In the summer, Knowles said he can easily get up to the 160 km range on a single charge but knows the Vancouver Island winter will take that down to around 120 as the wipers and heat-er take their energy toll.

“We moved from Ladner three-and-half years ago with our Smart Diesel. I think people here thought we would by something a little bigger – this is the truck capital of the Island after all.”

But they came back from a car-shopping jaunt from Richmond with the little electric car, which set them back around $26,990 less a generous BC government rebate of $5,000.

“We stopped in Qualicum Beach to charge it for a couple of hours and made it back here easily.”

The car charges on what is called a level one (basic) charger but with rebates now offered on fast char-

gers, they are contemplating investing in one.

Knowles got in touch with Driveway to tell of his expe-riences with the smart car, following our launch piece on the BMWi3 electric car a few weeks ago. We would like to hear from others, who are driving pure elec-tric vehicles in rural areas.

Electric vehicles are fre-quently dismissed as being good only for urban dwell-ers. The Knowles couple are demonstrating they can serve people outside of ma-

jor cities. Admittedly, they don’t travel far each day but then surely that’s the case for many rural residents.

Yes, trucks, larger cars and SUVs will always dominate in parts of the province where are harsh winters are commonplace and distances travelled are greater. But cars like the Smart and i3 maybe have a role to play as a family’s second vehicle in those locations.

The 14th annual Campbell River Christmas Gift

Tour gets underway today and continues until Sunday.

The idea began 14 years ago with a group of crafters and artists as a way to sell their prod-ucts in their own home environment and create an event that has stood the test of time.

While the organiz-ers have changed over the years, two of them have been at the helm for the past seven years of the event. They have watched it grow and change over time and some years busier than others as artisans and home based businesses come and go.

This years event takes place Nov. 15-17. It is a wonderful way to get into the Christmas spirit

while getting a head start on your shopping in a fun and unique way. The variety of gift items is endless. From beauti-ful native carved ceram-ics, jewelry, rustic bird-houses, photography, handknit ponchos, fab-ric creations, handmade

cards, metal art, knitted items, tutus, books, home baked goodies , paintings, quilts, soaps,

lotions, Christmas orna-ments, children’s wear, peanut brittle, almond roca, candles, gourmet fudge and lots more.

The tour also includes all of your favorite home based business. Party Lite Candles, Epicure

Selections, Tupperware, Scentsy, Jockey 2P2 and much more. The tour is spread out over much of Campbell River and is easy to navigate with the map which can be picked up at several locations around town.

It was also in Wednes-day’s edition of the Mir-ror. Come make a day of

it, get all your shopping done and enter to win prizes.

Registered Acu-puncturist Niels Christensen will

offer all proceeds from reduced rates for his ser-vices during a one-day fundraiser on Friday, Dec. 6 to aid the North Island Survivors’ Heal-ing Society – Trauma and Abuse Counselling Centre (NISHS).

For 18 years Chris-tensen has practiced both acupressure and acupuncture as owner of the Acupuncture and Body Care Clinic on South Dogwood.

“I’ve referred hun-dreds of clients to NISHS for counselling for more than a decade,” he said.

He’s reduced his regu-lar fees and is requesting a minimum donation of $20 for each neck release – a key method of relieving pain and muscle shortening asso-ciated with whiplash, headache, carpal tun-nel, shoulder issues, etc. Acupuncture sessions are available for a mini-mum donation of $40.

For those who would simply like to make a donation to support NISHS’ work, there will be representatives available on site to issue charitable tax receipts.

As a long-time health practitioner, Chris-tensen said he has expe-

rienced the connection between past traumatic experiences and physi-cal issues in his clients directly.

“What you experience in life leaves a signature in your body. If experi-ences, such as abuse, are not fully processed it’s stored in the primitive part of your brain and becomes hardwired into you,” he said.

Traditional cognitive therapy can be hugely helpful, the body’s remembered physiology remains in its former state of anxiety and stress, he added. The somatic or body centred counselling that NISHS offers is required to bypass the reactionary response in the body to get to the root of the trauma.

Christensen sees his role as helping people who have experienced a variety of trauma become aware that feel-ings coming up through body manipulation are normal. He strives to create a safe environ-ment to explore these feelings and encourages his patients to seek the services of NISHS.

Christensen recounts the story of a woman who had experienced childhood abuse.

“She’d made a great deal of progress through

the years in counseling and came to me with a specific body pain issue,” he said. “The precise placement of the acupuncture needles brought back details of her abuse, including the remembrance of a specific smell that she simply couldn’t tolerate. After several appoint-ments with a counsellor

at NISHS the aversion to it was gone and no lon-ger affected her.”

The professional counsellors at NISHS work with both women and men who have experienced a range of symptoms stemming from trauma and abuse.

Counsellor Celia Laval said, “Clients come to counselling to resolve a

number of issues stem-ming from overwhelm-ing events. It is an exten-sive list that includes witnessing or experienc-ing violence, injury and abuse in childhood.

Sometimes it’s adults in active duty, those who have been in automobile or workplace accidents, medical trauma, elder abuse or financial abuse.

“Many people don’t think of the aftermath of these events, she observed. Even an event that seems to be resolved when the threat ends may not feel like that to the person.”

She has several exam-ples to illustrate the point.

victim of a serious animal attack may feel

constant panic and experience nightmares long after the attack has occurred.

Soldiers and refugees frequently have ongoing problems. A large per-centage of people who experienced repeated abuse in childhood subsequently live most of their adult lives in extreme fear, or discon-nect from themselves and the larger world.

An individual who sees their home burned or washed away in a flood sometimes has residual issues that can be resolved in counsel-ling.

To make an appoint-ment for an acupuncture treatment or an acupres-sure neck release for Dec. 6, call Christensen at 250- 286-1848.

Sessions will vary in length from 20 minutes to more than an hour. His office is at #6 – 522 S. Dogwood Street, beside the Elks Lodge.

NISHS began opera-tions in 1993. All coun-selling at North Island Survivors’ Healing Society is either subsi-dized or by donation. The Society is funded by the Province of British Columbia, the United Way and community members who support NISHS through annual fundraisers.

NATIONAL CHILD DAY

CITY CURRENTS4X9

As birdfeeding action trends, this was out-

standing. All eyes popped when

a large Ruffed Grouse flew in and began devouring sunflower seeds. The backyard appearance of this crested, chicken-sized, ground-dwelling bird, at about 40 cm (16 in.), was a first for this birder, as viewed at my new online birdfeeding station.

A real-time, livestreaming camera films a well-stocked birdfeeder located in a residential neighbour-hood in Manitouwadge, Ontario (east of Thunder Bay). The Canadian FeederWatch cam is a proj-ect of Cor-nell’s Lab of Ornithology at Ithaca, NY.

Online since Oct. 26, the video cameras stream feathered may-hem during daytime hours, attracting some 500-plus viewers. South of the border, a U.S. cam overlooks a pond on the wooded grounds at

Ithaca. The two online cams offer premier edu-cational opportunities for bird identification, along with a chance to learn the sounds of

myriad avian species. Daily visits by blue and gray jays allow viewers to distinguish their different calls. Every peep and squeek and squawk can be attributed to the accurate

species. Various sized birds jockey for position, and skirmishes occur as larger, aggressive birds swoop in to claim munchies at a dizzying array of feeder types.

At the Ontario site, jays screech in and gulp a dozen nuts into their gular pouch. Woodpeck-ers appear daily, along with purple finches, an array of nuthatches, chickadees, pine siskins, house finches, and great hordes of evening and pine grosbeaks.

The US site attracts both forest-dwellers and species – like Red-winged Blackbirds – that prefer open water envi-ronments, with a back-ground bonus of water-fowl and kingfishers.

Best of all, it’s free, although donations are welcome. Check out: www.livestream.com/feederwatchcam.wildernesswest@shaw.

Arena two at Strath-cona Gardens is expected to be outfitted with a brand-new score clock after the Campbell River Minor Hockey Associa-tion made the regional district an offer it couldn’t refuse.

The organization has offered to chip in $5,000 to purchase an upgraded model that is expected to be brighter, larger, and last much longer.

The Strathcona Gar-d e n s C om m i s s i on , which includes directors who sit on the Strath-cona Regional District board, last month rec-ommended the regional district spend $5,000 to

go in 50/50 with Camp-bell River Minor Hockey.

The regional district board on Wednesday voted unanimously in favour of spending the money and amending the 2013-2017 financial plan to accommodate the purchase.

Dawn Christenson, financial services man-ager for the regional district, said that while there is money available, changing the financial plan was still necessary.

“Staff have projected that there is sufficient unallocated capital fund-ing in the 2013 capital plan to fund this pur-chase, due to other proj-ects being completed under budget,” Chris-tenson wrote in a report

to the board. “However, at the time the five-year financial plan was adopted, the replacement of the score clock was not a priority.”

The offer from minor hockey, though, was the perfect opportunity for the regional district to upgrade its hardware.

The existing clock, which is 17-years-old and has lights burnt out, was installed at Strath-cona Gardens in 1996 when the smaller of the two rinks was first built.

It was donated to

Strathcona Gardens and at the time, was valued at roughly $3,000.

To replace it with a similar model would cost less than the $5,000 the regional district is plan-ning to spend on a clock, but Josie Rohne, Strath-cona Gardens manager, said the new clock will be a noticeable improve-ment.

“We have an oppor-tunity to upgrade to a model that will offer improved energy effi-cient LED lighting, reduced maintenance

costs, a life cycle of 20 years and a much larger and clearer clock for the community to view,”

Rohne wrote in a report to the Strathcona Gar-

dens Commission last month.

The installation of an innovative heating sys-tem for Strathcona Gar-dens is still waiting to get underway.

The Strathcona Gar-d e n s C o m m i s s i o n approved awarding con-struction of an energy loop to a Victoria com-pany in August but con-struction is yet to begin on the heat exchange

system.The energy loop is

designed to take excess waste energy produced in the Strathcona Gar-den’s compressor room and use it to heat the pool.

Russ Hotsenpiller, the Strathcona Regional Dis-trict’s chief administra-tive officer, said while the pieces have been ordered and built, there are two outstanding issues.

One involves funding

and the second is the project completion date. The regional district was awarded a grant from the Gas Tax Innovations Fund with the stipulation that the project must be completed by Dec. 31, 2013.

The regional district is trying to request an extension into early 2014 to accommodate the energy loop’s estimated completion date of Jan. 14, 2014.

C o n s t r u c t i o n i s expected to begin on the project within the next week.

Part of the hold up revolves around funding.

With a $299,750 grant from the Gas Tax Inno-vations Fund the project was said to be 100 per cent funded.

However, the project was awarded to Accent Refrigeration at a cost of $319,750 plus taxes – which was the lowest bid

– and additional project costs for electrical, con-tingency and taxes has put the total project cost at $404,750.

That leaves the regional district with a $105,000 shortfall which Hotsen-piller said the Gas Tax fund cannot accommo-date.

“Staff have made enqui-ries…and they have con-firmed that the funding is over-subscribed and there is none available

for the projected over-runs associated with the Energy Loop project,” Hotsenpiller said in a report to the Strathcona Gardens Commission. “They did indicate how-ever that this project, which is funded 100 per cent under the Innova-tions Fund umbrella, is Community Works Fund agreement eligible and that the SRD could stack one grant on top of another.”

That would required that the city and Area D (south of the city) dedicate its Community Works funds to the proj-ect.

Otherwise, Hotsen-piller said the $105,000 could be covered by the capital reserves account.

A d e c i s i o n w a s expected to be made at the Strathcona Gardens Commission directors’ meeting on Wednesday morning.

Heidi AdelePeterson

Heidi Adele Peterson, a vibrant spirit of Vancouver Island, passed away peacefully on November 6th, surrounded by family at the home of her daughter in Campbell River. Born in Seattle, Washington on November 30, 1956 to Warren and Sherry Peterson, she was raised on Quadra Island. Her family owned April Point lodge during its heyday as a premier resort, where Heidi grew up taking care of guests from around the world. Her concern for the well being of others became an integral part of her character, noted and appreciated by all who knew her. After extensive travel to the American Southwest, Australia and New Zealand, Heidi returned to Vancouver Island to raise two children, Evan and Alaina. She then put herself through school at North Island College where she earned an arts degree and started her own graphic design company, Chameleon Creative, still successfully in business in Campbell River. Her love for life was contagious; she always managed to make time to contribute to the community in many different ways, sitting on the board of the BPWN and Chamber of Commerce. Heidi also designed and participated in a complete remodel of her home in Willow Point as well as finding the time to travel to China, Europe, Mexico and Central America. Heidi led a full life and left it with peace in her heart and love for those around her. She will be greatly missed. A celebration of life will be held on November 16th at 2pm at the Maritime Heritage Centre. In lieu of flowers, please make contributions to the ALS Society or the North Island College Foundation addressed to the ‘Heidi Peterson Memorial Bursary’. Memories, stories and photographs may be sent to [email protected]

Edwin Wallace Bell (Wally)October 14, 1930-November 9, 2013

Wally Bell passed away peacefully on November 9, 2013 with his family by his side. Predeceased by his wife Margaret Bell, he leaves behind his sister Nona Stromgren, his four daughters; Joanie, Brenda (George), Jackie (George) and Cindy (Kevin), his grandchildren; Sonya, Troy (Kelsey), Riley, Damien and Devin, and his great-grandchildren; Laykin, Marley and Nikolas. Wally was very proud of his family and enjoyed spending time with them.

Wally was born on LuLu Island (Richmond, BC) and being the son of a police offi cer, he moved and lived all over BC, fi nally settling in Port Alice where he met Margaret, his wife of 52 years. He was a millwright mechanic until 1964 when he moved his family to Campbell River. He worked at the Elk Falls Mill until he retired, got bored and then took a job with BC Hydro for a few years. Wally loved hunting, fi shing, boating, was a dedicated Shrine member and a past Grandmaster of the Masonic Lodge. Wally and Marg loved to roam around in their motorhome with their beloved dog Sheena. Wally enjoyed many lifelong friendships and was loved for his generosity and eagerness to help others. Being a jack-of-all-trades, he could fi x anything and if the parts were not available, he would make them. After losing Marg, he liked spending time with his “second family” at the casino.The family extends their thanks to the many nurses and doctors at the CRGH.

Please join us in celebrating Wally’s life at 1:00pm on Saturday, Nov. 16, 2013 at the Masonic Hall,

2905 North Island Highway, Campbell River.In lieu of fl owers, donations may be made in Wally’s memory to the SPCA or a charity of your choice.

Losing Dad/Grandpa has left a huge void in our lives, however we are comforted knowing that “Archie and Edith” are back together.

STEIN-THORE NYMANNMarch 13, 1948 - October 20, 2013

Always ready to discuss any topic until the sun came up, Stein lost his fi nal heated debate with cancer on October 20, 2013. Stein was born in Norway and moved to Campbell River in 1978 with his young family. He spent over 20 years in Campbell River before moving back home to Norway in 1999. Stein leaves behind many family members in Norway, including his mother, one brother, one sister, a son (Paal & Kjersti) and three grandchildren as well as many other extended family. Here in Campbell River he leaves behind one son (Tommy & Jenny) with two granddaughters and one daughter (Carrie) with one grandson and another granddaughter. Stein was a very social person and a list of friends and acquaintances from his time in Campbell River would be long and varied. So if you’re thinking of Stein, raise your glass, slam your fi st on the table, laugh out loud and dance a hole in the fl oor because if you ever spent a full night with Stein you were likely to have experienced all of the above and probably some good food to go along. Life goes on, sadly less one mischievous, smiling Norwegian.A service for Stein was held in Kirkenaer, Norway on October 29, 2013.

PROCESS

The Campbell River Curling Club hosted the Harris Nissan Ladies Open last weekend, Nov. 8-10, as part of the club’s 50th Anniversary Year.

The theme for the ladies this year was the Kentucky Derby and was a success due to the hard work of Nicole and Sharon McCurrie along with their curling team-

mates. This year’s Ladies Open saw 16 teams from Gold River, Courtenay, Nanaimo, Powell River & Campbell River.

The A-Event was a battle between two long-time local skips, Gail Bates and Michele Mat-thew. Bates along with Betty Campbell, DJ Ass-mus and Willie Baase ended up in the winner’s circle with the Marleen

Laviolette-Medvedeff A event trophy.

The B-Event was a re-occuring challenge between the Obee Rink and the local Marg Walker rink. The Obee rink from Nanaimo took the home the Frans Hoogeveen Accounting Trophy.

The C-Event was won by the Haider Rink of the Comox Valley, tak-

ing home the Susanne Grundison (RBC) Tro-phy.

Saturday Night’s ban-quet catered by Com-fort Zone and the best team costume which featured amazing hats, dresses and fur coats was awarded a five-hour fishing trip by Karl Bro was given to the Haider Rink from the Comox Valley.

16 teams vie for Ladies Open title

The Bates rink won the A-Event of the Harris Nissan Ladies Open last weekend at the Campbell River Curling Club.

Battling BanditsMarine Harvest Bandits’ Krista Drake battles for the ball against a Courtenay Revolution on Sunday at Willow Point Park. Campbell River’s Marine Harvest Bandits battled hard to a tough, 0-0 draw against the Revolution.

Mainstream Canada Young Masters, who play in Division 4 of the Vancouver Island Soccer League, faced their toughest competition on Sunday as they visited Zgoda Juniors F.C. in Victoria.

The Young Masters went into this pivotal match at the top of the standings but only three points clear of second place Zgoda. The last time these two teams faced each other they drew 2-2 in Campbell River.

The game proved to be as exciting and hard fought as predicted. In the first half, Zgoda’s skilled forwards put pressure on Mainstream Canada’s defence which included Aidan Anderson, Tyler Kelly, Cody Dodge and Colton Reesor. The Young Masters stood up well to the challenge and allowed few clear chances on goal. When Zgoda did break through, Mainstream’s goalkeeper Shane Dumanoir stopped everything that came his way, including a well taken free kick from the top of the penalty area.

The only goal of the first half came when Young Masters forward Shane Berry headed home a perfectly placed corner kick by midfielder Kevin Shelswell.

Mainstream Canada started the second half brightly and were rewarded with their second goal of the game after Colton Reesor made a terrific run with the ball up the left side of the pitch. He crossed the ball into the penalty area and continued his run into the 18 yard box, where it was played back to him and he hammered it past the helpless Zgoda keeper.

Zgoda quickly answered back with a well worked goal that was tapped in by the team’s central striker. Both teams had more chances to score near the end of the second half but the Campbell River side were able to hold on to win by a final score of 2-1.

With the win, the undefeated Mainstream Canada Young Masters now enjoy a commanding six-point lead in their group. Their next game is in Victoria on Saturday versus SFFC Originals. Kickoff is at 6 p.m. at Tyndall Park.

Young Masters go undefeated

The REHN Atom A Tyees travelled to Victo-ria last weekend to par-ticipate in the Saanich Minor Hockey Remem-brance Day Tournament.

The players were full of energy, and highly excited to play their first game early Saturday morning inside the huge Save On Foods Memorial Center against Sooke. The Tyees came out fly-ing, and applied pres-sure early, but the Sooke goalie stood strong and weathered a barrage of shots. At 8:23 of the first, center Evan Billard won the draw cleanly back to point man Ash-ton Birchard who fired a howitzer shot through traffic top shelf. This set the tone for what would be a smooth 5-0 vic-tory, with Jacob Thomas, Breydan Riecker, Alex

I remember at bedtime my Dad and I used to read Charlotte’s Web, The Wind in the Willows, Watership Down—anything with talking ani-mals. That’s what really struck my interest in read-ing and writing.

It wasn’t until I was 12 and

started reading Mark Twain that I became excited about journalism too. Since then I’ve been engulfed in the idea of sharing my own and the publics’ opinions and ideas.

Within the community, I’m on the Rotary interact team, as well as the Youth Action Committee, a local student coun-cil. A year ago, I traveled to Ottawa to study journalism, broadcasting, and the media medium. At school, I started a newspaper club and now, writing for the Mirror, I seem to have found a sustainable outlet.

Outside of writing I also participate on the Carihi improvi-sation teams, I play various roles intermittently through the acting department and I am a fan of independent media, vintage paraphernalia, and visual arts.

Even as a young child, Larissa Melville was always getting her hands dirty. All around her, there were things she didn’t understand and a natural curiosity had been sparked

by it. The need to be out exploring was a priority, and with paper and pencil in hand, she poured thoughts into words. Writing had been a way to share her visions with others, and as Larissa grew, she continued to cherish the skill and refine her works. Living and being raised in Campbell River had been a great experience, even if she hadn’t known it then. Her past year spent at Carihi Secondary was eye-opening, and now she plans to return what she learned to those who are curious about what’s happening at the high school. Where do the opinions of our generations’ teens lie? Read to find out.

The Campbell River Sharks midget hockey team won the champion-ship game in tournament play this weekend at Rod Brind’Amour Arena.

Competition included teams from Powell River, Port Alberni, Nanaimo, Comox Valley, Lake Cowichan and Port McNeill. The Sharks emerged from the round robin undefeated with a 3-0-1 record and faced the second place Camp-bell River Wolves for the gold medal.

In an earlier game, Cowichan Lake Fuller Lake Flyers won the bronze medal with an 8-2 win over the Comox Valley Courtenay Motor-sports Grizzlies.

The showdown for gold between the Sharks and the Wolves on Sun-day afternoon was a duel to the end in front of a boisterous crowd.

Scoring opened four minutes into the sec-ond period with Carter Coblenz of the Sharks scoring his fifth goal of

the weekend. The Wolves’ captain,

Ethan Fox, tied the game later in the second period. Then the goal-tenders took over with Michael Sampson of the Sharks and Austen Hack of the Wolves closing the door in an end to end game.

A 1-1 tie after regula-tion time was followed by an exciting but score-less overtime leaving a shoot-out to decide the game and the gold medal. Jaret Knowles of

the Sharks and Brenden Travanut of the Wolves both scored on each team’s first attempts but the next three shooters of both teams were beaten by the goalies.

The preasure was placed on the Wolves after the Sharks’ fifth shooter, Zachery Alleme-kinders, found the five hole with a shot, putting the Sharks ahead.

Goalie Michael Samp-son then made one final save to give the Sharks the gold medal victory.

Movald, and Ethan Vaton each scoring for the Tyees.

Game two was a much tighter game against the Saanich Braves. Billard opened the scoring at the 14:15 mark of the first, burying his own rebound.

The play went back and forth, seemingly shot for shot, until Thomas scored an unassisted beauty 9:26 of the sec-ond frame. Saanich came right back and buried one of their own, getting them within one. From there the game turned into a battle.

Billard scored his sec-ond at 12:10 of the third, but with just over three minutes left, Saanich scored again.

D e s p i t e t e n s e moments, time would eventually run out on Saanich, and the Tyees won their second straight game, 3-2.

On Sunday, the Tyees played only one game, but again they came out strong. Defenseman Brett Ruehlen opened the scoring in as he walked in from his point and fired a laser beam wrist shot that found noth-ing but mesh. Helpers including goals by Bryce Idiens, Jacob Obuck and Brian Majic allowed the Tyees another easy win, defeating Juan de Fuca 6-2.

You could hear a pin drop during the moment of silence before their

g ame on Mond ay. Spectators and players alike stood in respect-ful silence; honoring, remembering.

The Tyees found them-selves in a must win situ-

ation against Langley, a win that would get them to the champion-ship game. Early in, both teams had chances, but you could almost sense that this one would be a

goaltenders duel. Unfor-tunately, for the first time in the tournament, the Tyees didn’t score first. The Langley goal, scored with 3:45 remaining in the first, would hold up

until almost midway through the third, when Ethan Vaton finally scored with a determined shot to tie it up. Tyee goaltender Josh Doherty, stood on his head until

the final buzzer; this one was going to be decided by a shootout. It wasn’t meant to be for the Tyees in this character build-ing game, and they were defeated 2-1.

Seeded in tier one, the REHN Atom A Tyees officially begin their sea-son this Saturday, 11:45 a.m. at Rod Brind’Amour Area against Cowichan Valley.
