Wood chopped and set aside for a Timberline school fundraiser was stolen just one day before the students’ wood cut, say teachers who helped organize the event.
The Timberline Interact Club filled about 28 loads of wood last Saturday despite losing a good chunk of wood.
“On Friday, an older pickup truck let themselves into the vacant lot which had the wood for our wood cut and helped them-selves,” says Barb Izard, Tim-berline’s Interact Club teacher. “They took wood that was to be used for our fundraiser and had been cut by Rotarians for that purpose. They trespassed on pri-vate property.”
The wood, which was being sold
for $150 per truckload, was taken from a private lot adjacent to Bier Road, just off of Crawford Road.
Rotarian Doug Phyall says witnesses reported seeing two men inside the truck which was either an older Chevy or GMC pickup with slats on the side of the pickup box. The colour and license plate number of the vehi-cle are unknown. RCMP were not called. Izard says she hopes the
men will make amends.“You were seen and likely oth-
ers saw you also,” Izard says. “We hope that you will make this right and send money or write a cheque to Timberline Interact Club to pay for that which was not yours to take.”
Despite the incident, Izard says the wood cut was a success and helped raise money for the pur-chase of Disaster Boxes.

The next mayor of Campbell River is going to have “a nasty, demanding job” says Coun. Ziggy Stewart – and it’s a position he wants.
Stewart told the Mir-ror Wednesday morn-ing he is running for the mayor’s chair in the Nov.19 municipal election.
“I’m taking a chance, but I’d rather take the chance than sit there for three more years listening to the same old rhetoric,” Stewart says. “I’ve enjoyed my time as a councillor but it’s got to the point where I want to make a difference and to do that I’ve got to sit in the mayor’s chair.”
Stewart has spent the last six years on coun-cil and during that time served under the public safety portfolio and helped organize the current Future Forestry Task Force.
“I’ve delivered on both of them, no one is more critical of deliv-erance than I am,” Stewart says. “I feel passionately that if I’m going to take this job on, then you do it right. But that’s up to the electorate if they believe I’ve done a good
job up until now.”Stewart has spent
his past term on coun-cil trying to attract business. He has been pushing to bring a saw-mill or a pellet plant to Campbell River to cre-ate more jobs but it’s been a struggle.
“Polarization does the community no good and it sends out a message that Campbell River has problems,” Stewart says. “People watch what we’re doing and if we can’t get our act together people are not going to want to invest money in Campbell River and it hurts all of us.
“We have to attract business back to Campbell River. When we attract business, we attract jobs and jobs are what we need badly.”
The biggest challenge for future councils will be trying to work out a
balanced budget, while still delivering quality services the commu-nity expects, Stewart says.
“City Hall has to lead by example; many businesses in town have understood what it takes to make it through lean times and City Hall needs to understand that too,” Stewart says. “Our finance department has two excellent peo-ple who have come on board and understand what it’s going to take, and we have to be able to listen to them when it comes to tough bud-get decisions.”
Stewart says when it comes down to it, the job of mayor or city councillor is all about the people who make up Campbell River.
“It’s about the com-munity, it’s not about us,” Stewart says. “It’s always been my pet peeve that everyone’s talking and no one’s listening. We need to start listening and make decisions that way. This isn’t going to be an election about personality, it’s about who do you believe can get the job done. I think my track record has proven I’m not scared to do what needs to be done.”
Stewart says he’s
thought about running for mayor for a long time and came to his decision after discuss-ing it with his wife.
“It’s not a decision I’ve taken lightly, I’ve thought about it for awhile now,” Stewart says. “When you care as passionately as I do about Campbell River you get to the point where you think being a councillor is not enough to make a dif-ference.”
Stewart figures the upcoming term will be the most difficult one a council has ever faced because of the the city’s financial state, but he’s up to the task.
“Finances, service delivery, core services, will all have to be scru-tinized to say the least,” Stewart says. “Having said that, there’s great things on the horizon for Campbell River, whether it be the John Hart Dam project, or whether it be the new hospital project.
“I think the outlook for Campbell River is really good.”
Stewart joins Michel Rabu and fellow coun-cillor Roy Grant as can-didates for the mayor’s job.
“I think I can do a bet-ter job,” Stewart says. “But that’s up to the electorate to decide.”

METAL THEFTTheft of metal, a serious risk to the community and emergency personnel.Each year across North America, thieves are killed or seriously injured in efforts to steal copper and other metal from electrical facilities, industrial sites and homes.These thefts also place the general public at risk by removing critical safety infrastructure which can cause fatal results kilometers from thesite of the theft. In fact, destabilization of the electrical grid can cause potential fi re hazards to home owners as well as businesses and can cause costly damage to electrical equipment.
Operation Hands Off is a coordinated program in cooperation with many Electrical Utility companies to prevent theft by marking metal with MicroDotDNA and Forensic markers for police identifi cation.The Canadian Association of Recycling Industries participates in this program and inspects material for identifi cation at the recycling centers.This program involves all stakeholders and you can be part of the solution. Keep an eye out at local hydro facilities and businesses.
Report suspicious activities to police at 911 or anonymously to Crime Stoppers.

Anton is a 9 year old neutered male domestic short haired black cat. Anton is a very nice big cat who loves to lie in his favourite bed, preferably in front of a fi re place. This big cat is very independent, he likes attention and likes to be petted, he is not overly fond of being held and cuddled, but he’ll be more than happy to sit in your lap and watch TV with you. Anton came into our care as a stray, and he has been a gem since he has been here. He just needs to fi nd a home that will spoil him and be willing to give a senior a second chance.

Ken Forde boat ramp will close to boaters for seven months each year.
Council voted Tues-day night to only oper-ate the free, public boat launch from May 1-Sept. 30 to avoid hav-ing to deal with win-ter storms that leave the ramp littered with debris.
“It’s unfortunate we have to entertain some part of closure at all but with the reality of some of the conditions the Depart-ment of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) placed upon us, the recom-mendation brought to us (to close Ken Forde
through the winter) is the best scenario,” said Coun. Andy Adams at Tuesday night’s coun-cil meeting.
DFO’s conditions include not allowing the city to clear and then stockpile mate-rial until the city is ready to relocate it to another site.
H o w e v e r, R o s s Milnthorp, the city’s manager of parks, rec-reation and culture, said DFO seems will-
ing to reconsider that stipulation.
If that happens, Milnthorp said Ken Forde could be cleared on an as-needed basis during the annual operating period. If the city is not able to negotiate temporary sediment storage into a Memorandum of Understanding with DFO, city staff will recommend Ken Forde be closed permanently, Milnthorp said.
He’s hopeful an agreement with DFO can be reached by the end of the year that would allow the city to pre-determine where material from the boat launch will be re-located. Material that gets hung up at the boat launch can then be used to renourish eroded sections of the foreshore.
Big RockMeanwhile, the city’s
other public boat lau nch will be getting a makeover.
City staff will soon begin the design pro-cess for an upgrade to the Big Rock Boat Launch.
The city plans onspending $70,000, to betaken out of the ParksParcel Tax, for thedesign of an upgradeto the boat launch.
The intent is to beginconstruction in 2012.
As par t o f theupgrade process, citycouncil voted Tuesdaynight to include a com-prehensive public con-sultation component.
U p g r a d e s c o u l dinclude: deepening theexisting launch basin,improvements to theseaside bulkheads,storm water controlstructures, area light-ing for security andearly morning and lateevening ramp usersand public washroomsand a fish cleaning sta-tion.
THEY SAID IT: “It’s unfortunate we have to entertain some part of closure at all.”

RENÉE ANDORCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
A drunken car acci-dent did not deter 38 -year-old Nancy Sandman from driving again while impaired shortly after.
C a m p b e l l R ive r RCMP responded to a minor motor vehi-cle collision at the entrance to the Quadra Bay ferry terminal at 1:40 p.m. last Wednes-day.
Police arrived as Sandman was attempt-ing to leave the scene in her 1999 Mazda, according to Camp-bell River RCMP’s Sgt. Craig Massey.
Officers noticed she displayed signs of impairment when they stopped her, and when they told her she was being detained for an impaired driving inves-tigation she refused.
“She became resis-
tant and refused to get out of her vehicle, so the officers ended up having to go hands-on with her, and in the course of that she assaulted two of the officers,” said Massey.
Sandman was then taken to the detach-ment where she refused to provide breath sam-ples.
Once she was sober enough to take care of herself she was released, and faces a number of charges including refusing to provide a breath sam-ple and assault on a police officer.
However, when offi-
cers received a report of an impaired driver downtown at 9:40 p.m. this past Saturday, they discovered Sandman was again behind the wheel.
This time, she was arrested without inci-
dent and provided breath samples of 140 milligrams in 100 mil-lilitres of blood. She was held in custody until she appeared in court on Monday.
She was granted bail of $5,000, but did not pay it yet, and is in Alouette Correctional Centre for Women in Maple Ridge.
Sandman is facing twelve charges related to the two incidents, and her next court appearance will be Oct. 17.

Gilakasla! Thank you!Hello, I am the mother of “Polar Bear Jake”, Sheryl Thompson. I am writing you to thank everybody for all the support, love and gifts. Jake died at 22 years of age. Jake graduated, then became a welder. Jake also commercial fi shed.Jake’s fundraising started when he was 4 years old. He helped me sell carnations for the MS Society.During my time with Jake I noticed how receptive he was when I would teach him about giving, perspective to recognize his own power and to realize that youth are a very important/integral part of our society and that YOUTH have the power. I felt I had to give him a crash course on life.This is why I also want to say thank you because Our Community of Campbell River re-inforced what I was teaching him.The Campbell River Mirror and other newspapers covered Jake’s swims and exposed his intentions. The public at home and throughout the Province acknowledged the fact that giving gives us an awesome feeling.Jake was in misbelief at the amount of mail and thanks he recieved. He felt the joy! That was his gift from others.Jakes’ second swim was inspired when he realized why people were lining up outside of a building so early in the cold wintery day. He said “my next swim is for the Food Bank, mom.” Jake imagined himself standing there himself that day.So... thank you all. Your love,kindnes respect and acknowledgemnt to Jake, then and now, have really helped me make sense of his passing.Below are a list of just some who have created a great memory for our family. The others, please know in your heart what your love and generosity has done for me and my family.
• Bill Henderson for creating a beautiful box for Jake.• James Quatel for orchastrating Jake’s last canoe ride.• Gwen Olney for all her organizing and caring support
from an awesome sister.• Eddy Cliffe, my friend in need and nephew indeed!
• Skipper Rick Sewid Jr. for providing the MV Nordic Queenfor our extended family.
• Mo Quatel for provididing the shelter for the beach.• Kwaguith District Council, Campbell River Band Offi ce and all my People.

The annual Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock continues to roll toward a cure for childhood cancer and has a significant effect on the lives of the individuals tak-
ing part.It’s a pretty amazing feat.After all, there are numerous
important causes the public could throw its support behind.
Yet, in its 13th year, the tour contin-ues to succeed.
From communities up and down Vancouver Island laying out the welcome mat for the event to police and military officers signing up every year just for a
chance at taking part, the tour brings out the best in people.
The first Tour de Rock took place in 1998, raising $325,000.
Since then it has raised more than $15 million and is again approaching the $1 million mark this year.
For the riders, the measure of success is not just the months of sacrifice and training for the challenge of riding 1,000 kilometres in two weeks, but the generos-ity displayed and the fundraising totals that grow after every visit to an Island community.
The value the people involved in the tour take out of it is a ripple effect, empowering them to continue to
assist others.Black Press joined the tour this year with reporter/
photographer Chris Bush of the Nanaimo News Bul-letin taking part as a media rider and like many who have completed the tour, he has been inspired to take on a new challenges, look for a new cause so he might continue to make a difference.
It is the lure of the Tour de Rock. Months of prepa-ration and two weeks of physical and emotional chal-lenges add up to a desire to go on helping those who need it most.

Good point: FosteringOpen Letter to the BC Federation of Foster Parents
Association I would like to offer the thanks of Adrian Dix and the
Official Opposition to you: foster parents whose life and work makes a difference to every child you look after, and to the province of British Columbia.
October is Foster Family Month - an opportunity to celebrate you and your families; to celebrate the com-mitment you make to children and young people.
It is also an opportunity to recognise that fostering is hard work. No one knows more than you that foster-ing can be difficult for you and your families. It takes someone who is truly dedicated to take on the troubles of other families through their children, the problems of fetal alcohol syndrome, of physical disabilities or mental challenges.
I know foster parents who look after newborns and young babies; those who take in vulnerable mothers as well as their babies; those who take in difficult teens with all that entails. They take on this duty in addition to caring for their own families, working at their own jobs and fulfilling their own demands.
There are more than 3,000 foster families around the province and almost 6,000 children and youth in the system. That is a significant number, but as you know, more are always welcome. Fostering in B.C. covers a wide spectrum from small families through to intense services for children and youth with special needs.
As the NHL season gets underway, my love for the good ol’ hockey game will once again rise to the fore.
But I have to say that I’ve gained a respect for another sport in recent weeks. I’ve always been familiar with rugby. Being Scottish, my father and older brothers all played it, my dad back in the auld country and two of my brothers down the Island at a pri-vate school in Shawnigan Lake.
I never played it but when I became a journalist, I was often assigned to photograph rugby games, including here in Campbell River. I never knew the rules and had little understand-ing of strategy but I could see that it was a tough game played without the pads so prevalent in North American sports.
But the Rugby World Cup is under-
way in New Zealand where rugby is like hockey here and where a New Zealand versus Canada game is like Canada versus Norway in hockey.
Still, Canada has a team in the tour-nament and is seen as part of a sec-ond tier of rugby nations. The United States, Romania and a few other countries are in the same grouping. Which isn’t an insult, it’s a recogni-tion that the game has potential here and the international rugby govern-ing body has identified it as a place where the game can be grown.
And I say bring it on. I caught four games of the rugby world cup so far and they’ve been eye-openers. I watched Canada vs. France, Canada vs. Japan and Canada vs. New Zea-land. I missed our one win, that being against Tonga, which was considered
a bit of an upset. I also indulged in my tribal roots by taking in the Scot-land vs. England game and the seem-ingly inevitable disappointing loss by the Scots. Still the passion and fury with which the game is played is a sight to behold.
It’s great entertainment and to watch these athletes go at it the way they do, man. Anybody who’s a hockey fan and loves good old hard-nose hockey cannot be anything but a rugby fan. The game appears at times to be little more than a running brawl. Of course, it’s much more than that and after a few games I’m beginning to discern some strategy. It’s not always graceful but it’s com-pelling.
To watch Canada battle their way, literally foot by foot towards the
Japanese touch (or goal) line, all the while getting the crap kicked out of them, was astonishing. A player grabs the ball, tucks it into his mid-dle and runs smack into a line of opponents, turns his back to protect the ball while his teammates get into position behind him. He then hands the ball to another player who grabs it and bashes into a weaker spot in the opponents line to gain a couple of feet towards the touch line. Repeat, repeat. All the while, of course, the other team pounds, kicks, gouges and pummels the ball carrier. It’s like a goal-line stand in football but every few feet. And it doesn’t stop until the ball is torn out of your hands or you cross the touch line for a score. Oh, and you don’t wear any pads, did I

mention that before?It’s wild and crazy
a n d l i ke b ox i n g , although obviously detrimental to your health, you can’t help but respect the cour-age it takes to submit yourself to such pun-ishment and find a way to survive.
Of course, there are faster plays like lateral passes and runs with the ball and kicking for goals – all related to the strategy being employed by the team, of which, I haven’t entirely caught onto yet. But I’m learning and the world cup is now getting down to the serious business of the final eight. The top teams will battle it out for the title. It’s like the Olympic hockey
tournament after the round robin when all the minnows have been eliminated and the top teams brace themselves for the real tournament.
Canada had hoped to finish third in its group but a tie against Japan prevented that. It would have meant more funding from the international govern-ing body and greater exhibition matches to prepare for the next world cup and raise the profile of the sport here in Canada.
That’s the goal for the world rugby body, get countries where the sport already has a fol-lowing but which could be expanded. And there’s a lot to like. It’s a game built on cour-age and stamina, strat-
egy and speed.It’s also a game of
great sportsmanship that has long been lost in other popular sports. Players can pound the daylights out of each other then go and have a beer together after-wards.
After the Canada/France game, the win-ning French players showed their respect for the Canucks by lining up in two lines at the entrance to the dressing rooms and clapped as the Cana-dian players passed
through the lines.It’s an old game, the
father of North Amer-ican football and it’s well worth checking
out on TSN. You’ll need your PBR
because most of the games are played at our night time.

BC Hydro has extended the road closure to Brewster Lake Road across the John Hart Dam.
The road was set to open on Oct. 11, but will now open on Oct. 31. The nearby detour route around the dam is Iron River Road.
BC Hydro has been upgrading the facility since Aug. 24, and removed the highest seismic risk to the John Hart Dam, according to BC Hydro spokesman Stephen Watson.
“The project cost
was approximately $3 million and had an average of about 16 people working on the site,” said Waston. “A robust environmental monitoring program was in place, and no water turbidity or water quality issues were recorded for the protection of fish and fish habitat, and the domestic water supply.”
BC Hydro will now test the John Hart Dam Spillway Gates to ensure all three gates are fully operational and reliable for the
upcoming storm season.
BC Hydro is also creating community awareness about details of the proposed John Hart Generating Station Replacement Project, and it’s looking for feedback.
As BC Hydro prepares for the regulatory and procurement processes to begin by spring 2012, it’s looking for an overall interpretive concept plan for BC Hydro’s 248-acre property.
This fall, an Interpretive Plan for BC Hydro’s John
Hart property will be developed, with the goal of providing the community and stakeholders with a general overview for the site, so the finer interpretive details can be worked out with the community and stakeholders. The interpretive plan will include details about trails, river access, interpretive education options, and what may appear on the external walls (façade) of the generating station building. A questionnaire has been developed to obtain more
community feedback. The possible
interpretive concepts will only be considered if there is local and regional support as well as appropriate levels of funding.
BC Hydro has also made project commitments to Brewster Lake Road Bridge, Canyon View Trail configuration during and after construction, and river access. To fill out an interpretive concept questionnaire, contact [email protected] or 250-755-4795.

Just Because You Can See Doesn’t Mean That You Can be Seen
Few people leave their homes without paying some attention to how they are dressed. When we use our clothing to say “Look at me!” are we really thinking about how we will appear to other road users when we are pedestrians after dark? The right choice of dress prior to your next walk in the dark could be critical! About two thirds of pedestrian fatalities occur at night. This is probably because research indicates that pedestrians can be dangerously inconspicuous to drivers after dark. A pedestrian in dark clothing at night will not be seen in time to stop if the driver is using low beam headlights and traveling faster than 60 km/h. We tend to underestimate that we are diffi cult to see in the dark. Visual recognition ability degrades rapidly with falling light levels and drivers need it to fi nd and identify pedestrians. Visual guidance abilities such as walking through a darkened room remain effective, lulling us into thinking that we are more visible than we really are. Critically, we may overestimate by as much as triple the safe distance. How do you increase your chances of being seen and be identifi ed as a pedestrian? A refl ective vest is better than dark clothing, but refl ective material positioned at the major joints of the body (ankles, knees, waist, shoulders, elbows and wrists) is even better. This will show “biological motion” and allow the driver to decide “human” far more quickly.

Despite the city’s massive watershed clean-up initiative peo-ple are still dumping garbage, but other free options are available.
August was water-shed clean-up month, and city workers and volunteers removed a total of about 476,190 kilograms of garbage out of the area. At the time, city water opera-tor Brian McLoughlin said he hoped cleaning
up the area would deter people from dumping their garbage.
H o w e v e r, L u i s a Richardson, an envi-ronmental educator working for the city, recently went on a walk through the area and found more gar-bage that was dumped during September. A “perfect” mattress and bed frame that looked like it had just broken during unloading were some of the items, and Richardson said they could easily have
been reused instead of dumped illegally.
“Most of the stuff you could find another home for,” said Rich-ardson. “People are obviously not aware that there’s options.”
One option is The ReStore in Campbell River. It takes house-hold items like appli-ances, doors, cabinets, mirrors, furniture and tools. Manager Ken Miller said that last year it diverted over 30 tonnes of metal and renewable goods from
the landfill per month. And he said the num-ber’s probably higher this year as sales have increased by about 40 per cent.
A manager must approve an item for drop off, meaning junk cannot be left there, but he’s happy to take things that can be reused.
“If it’s got a slight scratch, dent, it doesn’t quite do what it’s sup-posed to do and it’s not a lot of work, we’ll take the time to fix it, mend
it, wash it, clean it, and get it ready for resale,” said Miller.
The ReStore also educates people about where to take the things that it doesn’t, as Miller says people often don’t know about some other options.
“There are places that we can further get out there that yes, they can take that,” said Miller.
He often refers people to the Return-It depot. It takes counter-top appliances, household
electronics, like televi-sions and computers, household paint, and car batteries, among other things.
Various thrift stores like Nifty Thrift and the Salvation Army take old clothing.
The City of Campbell River’s website also has links to different businesses and orga-nizations that reuse or recycle various items. Visit http://campbell-riverrecycles.ca for more information.

Classical music on Sunday after noons continues with pianist Sarah Hagen on Oct. 16.
“A rarity of musical excellence, technical ease and tonal purity,” Hagen is a sought-after soloist and chamber musician, perform-ing in concerts across Canada as well as in the United States, France, Italy, Ger-many and Sweden. Her interpretations have been described as “outstandingly inven-tive,” performed with “infinite skill.”
Hagen is an avid collaborator, revel-ing in the friendships and stimulation that abound in chamber music. While Hagen t r ave l s r e g u l a rl y fo r p e r fo r m a n c e s in Europe, she also delights in playing with some of Canada’s premier musicians,
including Trio Accord and the Emily Carr String Quartet.
Highlights of the past season include appearing as soloist with both the Victo-ria Symphony and the Symphony Orchestra of the Pacific, as well as a Swedish tour with the Hagen Trio.
Hagen has been heard on Swedish Radio 2, CBC Radio One and Two, numerous radio s t at i o n s t h ro u g h -out North America, and has appeared on Bravo Television. Her solo album, Glass House Dancing, was nominated for Classi-cal Recording of the Year at the 2009 West-ern Canadian Music Awards.
For this second performance of the “In Concert” series, Hagen’s programme includes Chopin’s exquisite Opus 28 Pre-ludes and Beethoven’s “Les Adieux” Sonata.
The concert takes place at 2 p.m. at Trinity Presbyterian Church, 145 Simms Road. Indi-vidual tickets are $20
or $10 for students. For more information and

Know thy bodyOctober is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time when major breast cancer charities mount campaigns to promote prevention, screening, and early detection. In 2011, an estimated 23,400 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer; about a fi fth of them will die from it. After skin cancer, it is the most common kind to affl ict women in Canada.
Becoming “breast aware” is the fi rst step toward each of these goals. The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation recommends that women of all ages become familiar with the feeling and contours of their breasts at different points throughout their menstrual cycle. This provides a baseline of information, so that any disease-driven changes will stand out. It is recommended that women aged 50-69 have regular mammograms, a free breast cancer screening procedure for women in that age range in Canada.
Prevention is part of being breast aware as well. The Breast Cancer Fund’s State of The Evidence 2010 reports the results of scientifi c studies which have shown a connection between environmental factors — such as the use of hormones and endocrine-disrupting compounds in some consumer products and pharmaceuticals — and breast cancer. Exercising regularly and eating a diet rich in whole-grain foods, fruits, and vegetables are also central to keeping the body healthy and strong on the long term.
Advantages of digital mammography include:• Sharp images of all area of breast tissue.• Lower doses of radiation.• Images are produced almost instantly, signifi cantly reducing appointment time.• Equipment offers improved ergonomics and improves patient care.• Digital technology enables more mammograms per day, reducing wait times for services.• Images can be viewed at the same time by several physicians, resulting in speedier, more comprehensive consultation and diagnosis.
WOMEN AGED 40 OR OLDER:1. Have a screening mammogram every year. 2. Schedule a clinical breast exam with a health professional every year.3. Perform a breast self-examination every month.*
Women between the ages of 20 and 39:1. Schedule a clinical breast exam with a health professional every three years. 2. Perform a breast self-examination every month.**If any changes, such as swelling or skin irritation in the breast or underarm area, are noticed during the breast self-examination, contact your health care provider for a professional evaluation. Knowing your body and promptly addressing any unusual developments are key to early detection.

Coastline Mazda is growing up and will soon have a new
home.The dealership,
which is owned by Steve Marshall Motors, has expanded beyond capacity of its current location
in Willow Point.“It’s an old, tired
and very crowded facility,” Tom Dishlevoy, architect of the project, told
city council at a meeting Tuesday night. “To properly serve the area, the owner would like to move to the
north end of town where the majority of dealerships are located.”
Mazda will be relocating to property
along the Island Highway between Park Road and Woodburn Road, after council approved the dealership’s major
development permit this week.
“The site property we’re working on is about 2.2 acres, most of that will be set aside for vehicle parking,” Dishlevoy said. “It’s set on a slope slightly raised from the highway and we thought ‘why not create a replica beach, so when drivers are going down the highway they can look up and see the noses of all the cars peeking through beach grasses.’”
In keeping with the Coastline Mazda name, the entire landscape will have a beach theme that will include dune grass, driftwood and silver burweed, according to Liz Lightbourne, city planning technician.
City staff feel the new dealership will contribute to the city’s goal of serving as a regional centre for North Vancouver Island and will enhance the northern end of the city.
“The subject property is situated along the northern ‘gateway’ to Campbell River,” Lightbourne said. “To improve the appearance of these areas as ‘entrances’ into Campbell River, the OCP (Official Community Plan) encourages building designs which provide interesting and viable rooflines and facades as well as ensuring that the design is complimentary to the existing environment.”
The building site does lie within a risk slope area and partly within the floodplain but Lightbourne said the proposed building will not be located within the floodplain area or adjacent to the risk slope.
“The proposed development complies with all of the zoning bylaw development standards including lot coverage, building setbacks, height and parking,” Lightbourne said.
The proposed new building is 512.9 metres squared in total floor area, 4.5 metres high and designed with aluminum paneling and glass to provide a varied facade.

RENÉE ANDORCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Carrie Davison beat the odds by being diagnosed with
breast cancer.At just 33 years old, the
Campbell River wife and mother of three had no family history of breast cancer, and was anything but a prime candidate for the disease when she was diagnosed with Stage II breast cancer almost a year ago.
Davison also doesn’t smoke, she eats well, keeps chemicals out of her home, and exercises regularly.
But despite all she had going for her, cancer found her.
With October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Davison said she felt it important to share her story.
“Hopefully it touches someone’s life or gets them to the doctor,” Davison said. “Young women need to know that this is not a disease for 65-year-old women; it can happen to any one of us.”
When she was living in Hong Kong about five years ago, her doctor noticed a small lump in her right breast. Davison was sent for a mammo-gram and an ultrasound, and the results came back normal but the doctor told her to keep and eye on it.
Davison noticed changes and went back to her doc-tor, who said with her age and no history of breast cancer in the family she had nothing to worry about. Also, her lump was
sore, which is not typical of breast cancer but more so of a cyst.
In January of 2009, she and her family moved to Campbell River and Davi-son started seeing doc-tors here. She said no one ordered a biopsy and they, like the doctor in Hong Kong, all said the same thing.
“They just kept say-ing ‘oh you’re so young, there’s no breast cancer in your family,’ that’s all I heard for the whole five years, ‘quit worrying about it,’” Davison said.
By summer 2010, the lump had grown to be quite uncomfortable for Davison, and after she was again sent home by a doc-tor with no biopsy, she was talking to her husband, Travis Dashkewytch, and they decided to push harder.
“He said ‘no we’re going back in there because this is so uncomfortable for you,’ because you could literally see it through my shirt,” explained Davison. “I couldn’t put my arm flat down against my side because it was pushing on this big tumour, so we went in there and we were persistent, and just said ‘no, something has to get done here.’”
With the tumour now the size of a golf ball, Davison was scheduled for an ultra-sound.
“I remember the look on the technician’s face when she saw the image on the screen. She excused herself from the room and said she was going to go speak with a doctor,” said Davison. “All I was think-
ing was ‘wow this is not good.’”
She was told she needed a biopsy, and when that came back, Davison found out that it was indeed can-cer, and she worried about
her three children aged 11, 10, and 6.
“Telling our three chil-dren will haunt me for the rest of my life,” said Davi-son. “Carter, Kaylin and Gracie are my whole world
and it breaks my heart to this day that they had to go through all of this.”
She had a full mastec-tomy of her right breast on Dec. 9, 2010, which happened to be on her son
Carter’s birthday. And then laid in a hospital bed on New Year’s Eve hoping that a second surgery to remove her lymph nodes would get rid of the cancer for good. From January to the end of May she went through chemotherapy, then stayed in Victoria for six weeks having daily radiation treatments.
Davison said it was a “huge strain” on the whole family emotionally, physi-cally, and financially, but pointed out that they were lucky financially, as Dash-kewytch works as an air-line pilot and his company gave him the entire time off work, with full pay for the majority of it.
“So my kids always had a parent here with them taking care of them,” she said. “I did not have to lift a finger through any of my treatments.”
Even so, she said the ordeal cost the family about $40,000 including child care, traveling, lost wages, and out-of-pocket medication costs, among other things. Davison said she is confident the cancer is gone now and wants to move on with her life, but first she wants to generate awareness among women.
“This can happen to you, in fact, one in eight women will have some type of breast cancer in their life time,” said Davison. “Be aware of your own body and make sure you do self breast exams. Be your own advocate, and if you find a lump then ask your doc-tor to take the next steps, whether they feel you fall into normal breast cancer screening criteria or not.”

They’re on the move again.
During the past few weeks thousands of birds have started their fall migration, and for many this will be a lengthy undertak-ing.
A unique phenomenon, the subject of migration is very complex w i t h n e w information c o n s t a n t l y c o m i n g t o light through s c i e n t i f i c studies. The reasons that birds choose to migrate cen-ters around their need to find a safe place to breed and plentiful food once the young have hatched.
Extended daylight hours in the Arctic produce an abundance of plant and insect life, which enables the young to rapidly build up fat reserves needed to fly south to their winter feeding grounds.
Flying formations also help the birds conserve energy, with the best known “V” formation allowing the trailing birds to be pulled along in the slip stream, and the lead bird dropping back when it gets tired.
Due to the vast dis-tances covered during
migration most birds will break their trip stopping over at cho-sen feeding stations. Some birds like the Ana’s hummingbird double their weight before they migrate
and fly non-stop across the Gulf of Mexico, and no they don’t hitch a ride on a Canada goose! The eastern side of Vancouver Island is one of the stop over sites,
and each year flocks of birds can be seen in our estuaries and along the shorelines.
How do these birds know where to go and how to get to their win-ter destination with no maps?
In fact, they actually have their own version of a map and compass, and it has been proven that birds use the sun, moon and stars as a guide together with landmark recognition to track their route.
They are sensitive to barometric pressure and magnetic fields and use this informa-tion to avoid heading into a major storm.
It is also thought that they use their sense of smell and hearing to detect the sea and shorelines if they can-
not locate them visu-ally.
It is critical that migratory birds are left undisturbed to feed at their pit stops. Dogs running along the shorelines create a disturbance for water birds, so please keep them on a leash.
Very soon our eastern shores will be team-ing with hundreds of species of birds; some pass through, while others are permanent winter visitors.
Two species that provide many hours of winter bird watch-ing are the trumpeter swans and the bald eagles. This is also the time to look out for unusual species that have been blown off
course. The prediction of El
Nina winter weather patterns does not bode well for our wildlife. Many juveniles experi-ence difficulties during their first winter and the timid, less aggres-sive birds with poor hunting skills will often starve to death.
We have already treated many starving eagles this year. Please be aware of any wild-life that appears to be weak or injured, and call before attempting to intervene. To report injured wildlife please call 1-800-304-9968 or visit our website at www.wingtips.org . Check out the eagle updates Shredders Revenge.

This year, there will be no optional Grade 12 Provincial Exams, with the only required examination in English 12 (or Communications 12). As such, $1000 Scholarships will now be awarded based on the fi ve required Provincial Exams.
To be eligible for the $1000 Scholarships students must: Receive a B (fi nal mark of 73% or better) in English 12 (THIS IS A COMBINATION OF THEIR SCHOOL AND EXAM MARK) Students must get at least three B’s and one A in four of their required exams (English 10, Math 10, Science 10, Socials 11 and English 12)For more information on how this may affect your son or daughter, please have them contact a school counsellor or administrator. While the intent of the Ministry of Education is to provide more students with Scholarship money, we appreciate that this change might cause some concern for current Grade 12 students.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!The Carihi Tyee Challenge program would like to thank the staff at Western Forest Products in Holberg for their assistance during a recent trip to Cape Scott. While the weather was less than cooperative during the hike, the staff at Western Forest Products enabled school staff to stay in contact with the group and went above and beyond the call of duty by clearing roads and transporting students back to Holberg!
ATTENDANCERegular attendance in classes is crucial to student success. While we understand that there are times that students must be out of school – doctor’s appointments, illness, family emergencies – it is our expecta-tion that students attend every class, every day. Please inform us by calling our attendance line, 250 286-4857 to excuse your child from school when he or she will be away. Parents can check their child’s at-tendance “live” on Parent Connect. Please contact us if you are unable to access Parent Connect.
STUDENT PROGRESSTerm 1 is well underway and we encourage parents to contact their child’s teacher to get an update on how well they are progressing through the course. As we are a semestered school, many of our courses run at a challenging pace for students and it is important that students and parents receive regular feedback from their teachers to help students overcome any obstacles to their success. While current job action may limit formal reports going to parents, our teachers are more than happy to discuss the progress of your child with you.

Thanksgiving…a time when many families sit down to feasts of roast turkey, stuffing and mashed potatoes. Here are a few precautions to help make sure your Thanksgiving feast is remembered as a gastronomic delight - not a gastrointestinal disaster!
Storing
■ Loosely cover your fresh, unfrozen turkey with wax paper or aluminum foil and store in the coldest part of the refrigerator.
■ Fresh turkey should be cooked within two or three days of purchase;
frozen birds can be kept in the freezer for up to six months.
Thawing and Preparation
■ Thaw frozen turkeys in the refrigerator or in cold water, with the plastic wrap kept on. This virtually elimi-nates the possibility
of nasty bacteria from accumulating.
■ Make sure you cook it long enough. Cooking timetables for turkeys will tell you how long to cook your bird, based on weight. Test the turkey with a meat thermometer inserted into the mid-dle of the stuffing or into the thigh without touching the bone. The thermometer must register 85°C (185°F) for the turkey to be cooked. No meat thermometer? Test for doneness by moving the drumstick up and down. It should move easily in the joint if it’s cooked.
■ Never partially cook a turkey one day and continue cooking it the next day. This is one of the major causes of food poisoning, as bacteria can quickly multiply.
■ Never pre-stuff a turkey the day before it is roasted. It takes too long to heat the centre of the chilled dressing in order to ensure that any bac-teria are destroyed, and it may result in over-cooking the meat.
■ Because of the increased risk of food poisoning asso ciated with stuffed turkeys, many people choose to cook the stuffing separately. However, if you like to cook your turkey stuffed, make sure to stuff it just before you put it in the oven and remove all of the stuffing as soon as the turkey is fully cooked.
■ Never leave a cooked turkey on the kitchen table or counter after carving. It should be placed either in the oven to keep it hot or in the refrigerator Cooked turkey can be refrigerated for three or four days or frozen for up to four months.
Basic rules of food
handling■ Keep hands,
utensils and work areas clean and avoid transfer of bacteria from one food to another.
■ Thoroughly clean all surfaces that come in contact with raw meat or poultry to prevent the contamination of cooked or other ready-to-eat foods.
■ Cool leftover foods quickly to reduce the risk of bacterial growth.

Mary Theresa McCarthy, in her eightieth year, passed away suddenly in Campbell River, BCon Thursday, September 29, 2011.

In the last few years of her life, Mary sought a new adventure and moved to Campbell River from her native Toronto. Mary’s family is deeply grateful for the support, assistance and companionship of her new friends, especially Irene and Lorraine and to the Knitting Club that warmly embraced her as one of their own.

The Employment Resource Centre (ERC) at North Island College (NIC) wants to know what local employers think.
How would employ-ers like to work with the ERC? What ser-vices do local employ-ers require? What kind of community support is needed, and in what areas? How can the ERC help local employ-
ers? These are the ques-
tions that Treena Nadon, NIC’s employ-ment service advisor, is asking in a survey that was sent out by email to all members of the Comox Valley and the Campbell River Cham-bers of Commerce.
“In essence, I’m hop-ing to find the best way to connect employers with our students,”
said Nadon.“I’m looking for ways
to strengthen oppor-tunities for students while meeting the needs of the commu-nity.”
The ERC opened its doors in September of 2009 and is available to help all employers who are seeking knowledge-able and eager staff.
By assisting students in gaining meaning-
ful employment, the ERC serves as a bridge for accessing quality positions posted by employers in our com-munities.
Employers may also access students from NIC’s co-operative education programs for targeted busy peri-ods, special projects or to cover leave of absence.
“Now is a great time
to further develop our resources for employ-ers within the com-munities we serve,” Nadon said.

T h e T i m b e rl i n e Wolves’ pre-season wrapped up this past Saturday with a thor-ough trouncing of the defending Tier 2 Cham-pions Frank Hurt Hor-nets 61-12.
The Wolves have out-scored opponents 155 to 32 in three exhibition games against Main-land Division Tier 2 opponents.
“Our focus now returns to our tra-ditional Vancouver Island opponents for the next five weeks, as we need to collect points to make a play-off run,” said Wolves Head Coach Martin Jaunzemis. “We start next Saturday with zero points in the standings and one hiccup in the regular season can change things in a hurry. Our traditional Island opponents Vanier and Belmont are going to be gunning for us, we know that.
“We also see a team in Sooke, EJ Milne that is quietly sneaking up on people and gave us
a scare taking us to a Texas Shootout in OT last year.”
The Wolves are multi dimensional in 2011. The passing game is as good or better com-pared to the last two years, the running game could be even better.
The Wolves led by QB Dylan Tucker are known for their aerial show the last few years, have thrown the ball 60 times with 41 comple-tions for 604 yards and 6 TD’s.
The ground game is the hidden gem that nobody has quite real-ized yet, racking up 721 yards and 14 TD’s in the first three games.
“So far it has not been one player, Mike Weston starts the game, Hunter McKay follows up, and behind them Chris Lund is raring to go, we always have a fresh body at tailback and our slots Rob Vlaj and Johnny Evenson also contribute big in the ground game,” said the head coach.
Look for Vlaj, Even-
son, Greg Perry and Mitch Nemeth to put on the traditional air show in coming weeks.
D e f e n s ive ly, t h e Wolves have been very tough for opponents to score on. Defensive Coach Steve Koehler has had the defence playing on the south side of the line of
scrimmage almost all of the pre-season. The result is a Tier 2 league leading average of only 10 points allowed per game in the pre-season.
Look for D-line new-comers Eric Wright, David Young, and Carsen Black to get together with vet-eran Cody Gent and
Linebackers Duncan Howard and James Danylchuk to decimate opponents in the com-ing weeks.
“Coach Koehler has lots of fresh bodies on defence for the first time I can remem-ber. We have not even mentioned the O-line yet, James Danychuk, Andrew Weinstein,
Blake Heemskerk, Justin Evenson, and Louis Patterson, with the exception of James have all been playing one-way for the most part. They are fresh every time we step on the field. These guys finished the pre-season with a great game, I hope to seen it get even better as
we move along,” said Jaunzemis.
The Wolves will be Home for the next three weeks against Gulf Islands, GP Vanier and Belmont before finish-ing the regular season against Mark Isfield and then EJ Milne.
Home Games start at 1:25 p.m Saturdays at Timberline.

Wolves dominant Dogs in pre-season matchups
Mike Weston eludes his pursuers in pre-sseason exhibition action against Frank Hurt Hornets Saturday.
The KLP Construc-tion Peewee A Tyees played two games at Rod Brind’Amour arena this past week-e n d w i t h m i x e d
results. They played an exhi-
bition game on Sat-urday against Ocean-side. The Tyees had three players back in
the line-up after being injured. Justin Ken-nelly, Will McLean and Mitchell Rogers laced them up for the Tyees and didn’t look
out of place at all. Ken-nelly and Rogers each scored in their return, while McLean contin-ued to work hard at both ends of the ice.
Oceanside scored part way through the first period but Tyler Dick-son replied for the Tyees to level the score at 1 at the end of the
first period. The Tyees had a bit of a slow start, possibly due to the team bottle drive held earlier in the day.

The Willow Point Sportsplex has recreational vol-leyball and badminton programs available as well as squash, wallyball and racquetball facilities.
The Tyees were start-ing to get their legs under them as they executed a long break-out play perfectly in the middle of the sec-ond with D-to-D passes from Liam Rivett to Doug Campbell result-ing in a break-away by Kennelly. Kennelly cut in from right to left and put the puck in the top corner on the short-side for the goal of the night.
The Tyees never looked back as goals were added by Olivia Knowles, Rogers and Dickson with his sec-ond of the night. Final score 5-1 for the Tyees. Both Ethan Ouel-lette and Nick Ordano played very well in goal, with Ordano making the play of the game as he saved a point-blank shot at a critical moment in the game.
Sunday’s afternoon game was a tiering game against Cow-ichan Valley.
Tyees team officials learned that one of the Cowichan players has been on a scoring roll recently. Head coach Marc Ouellette seemed to play his top centre, Todd Campbell, against this player whenever possible. The strategy was working until both teams started taking penalties which disrupted the flow of the game and caused coaches to juggle their lineups.
The Tyees received solid goaltending from Ethan Ouellette again, and very good effort through-out the game from all players.
The play of the game for the Tyees was the great passing play from the line of Damian Rennie, Rogers and Kennelly who worked well together to score the first goal.
The teams traded some chances after that but the Tyees enjoyed a bit of puck-luck. They took a 3-2 lead into the third period and added an early goal to make it 4-2 but Cow-ichan replied quickly to bring it level with about 16 minutes to go. With just over a minute left, Cowichan took advantage of a defensive zone lapse in coverage to score the go ahead goal and went on to win 5-4.
The Tyees are now off to Port Alberni to play in their Thanks-giving weekend tour-nament.
