Nov. 20, 2013 www.courierislander.com CAMPBELL RIVER, B.C. Established 1945 65 CENTS SERVING THE SALMON CAPITAL OF THE WORLD FOR 68 YEARS By Sian Thomson Campbell River Courier-Islander A game of cat and mouse or, more appropriately, man and bird unfolded in late October between Mountainaire Avian Rescue (MARS) and an injured female eagle. “For over three months MARS had been getting calls from people in Campbell River, concerned about a bald eagle hanging around a beach area and sitting very low in trees close to the road,” a MARS spokes- person said. “The bird did not seem to care about the many people stopping to take photos. With a slightly drooping wing, she was still able to fly well enough to elude capture and several times a team from MARS would race down only to find she had van- ished.” The eagle earned the nickname ‘Houdini’ for her magical powers of escape. But, finally on Oct. 28, she was caught. After an exam at Sunrise Veterinary Clinic, she was found to have an elbow infection and was put on antibiotics for three weeks. She appeared to be strong and feisty and eating very well. MARS was hopeful for a full recovery. Sadly, on Friday, after four weeks in rehab, Houdini had to be eutha- nized. “Unfortunately the infection spread into the bone at the joint and she would never be able to fly,” said Maj Birch, founder, senior wildlife rehabilitator, and manager of the Mountainaire Avian Rescue Society. “Near the end she changed from having a good appetite to stopped feeding and her feathers were fluffed which is an attempt to keep warm, a sign of fever in birds. It was the humane thing to do for this bird.” There is live footage of Houdini on You Tube at “An Eagle Called Houdini”, http://youtube/ 8PYQZQucJ2g.

BC Ferries is looking to save $18.9 million in the next two years starting April 2014 and that is going to cost Quadra Islanders a reduction of 468 sailings a year. The current annual round trips between Campbell River and Quadra Island are 6,253. The cancelled runs are mostly early morning or late evening, many with passenger loads of 20 per cent or less, said BC Ferries. The cost savings for the annual round trip reductions are estimated to be $370,000 between April 2014 and 2016. The Port Hardy to Prince Rupert run will lose one-third of its sailings for a savings of $3,820,000 when the 122 round trips are reduced to 83, the largest reduction across the board.

Minister of Transportation Paul Stone also announced a plan to begin charging seniors half passenger fares that are currently offered free from Monday to Thursday. BC Ferries is also planning a pilot project with slot machines on the main routes from Vancouver Island to the mainland, to test the revenue potential. And fare increases of four per cent and 3.9 per cent are to go ahead in the next two years, but Stone said the goal is to hold future increases to the rate of inflation or less after that. There are no further reductions proposed for the main Vancouver Island runs, but Stone said the ministry’s target is to find another $5 million in savings on those routes following reductions last year to the Tsawwassen-Duke Point route.

A game of cat and mouse or, more appropriately, man and bird unfolded in late October between Mountainaire Avian Rescue (MARS) and an injured female eagle.

“For over three months MARS had been getting calls from people in Campbell River, concerned about a bald eagle hanging around a beach area and sitting very low in trees close to the road,” a MARS spokes-person said.

“The bird did not seem to care about the many people stopping to take photos. With a slightly drooping wing, she was still able to fly well enough to elude capture and several times a team from MARS would race down only to find she had van-ished.”

The eagle earned the nickname ‘Houdini’ for her magical powers of escape. But, finally on Oct. 28, she was caught.

After an exam at Sunrise Veterinary Clinic, she was found to have an elbow infection and was put on antibiotics for three weeks. She appeared to be strong and feisty and eating very well.

MARS was hopeful for a full recovery.

Sadly, on Friday, after four weeks in rehab, Houdini had to be eutha-nized.

“Unfortunately the infection

spread into the bone at the joint and she would never be able to fly,” said Maj Birch, founder, senior wildlife rehabilitator, and manager of the Mountainaire Avian Rescue Society. “Near the end she changed from having a good appetite to stopped feeding and her feathers were fluffed which is an attempt to keep warm,

a sign of fever in birds. It was the humane thing to do for this bird.”

In what Strathcona Regional District Director Jim Abram called a “slap in the face” to coastal resi-dents and businesses, BC Ferries announced cuts to services Monday.

And North Island MLA and Transportation Critic Claire Trevena is predicting the cuts will have an “outrageous impact” to hard work-ing coastal residents who are major contributors to the economy.

BC Ferries is looking to save $18.9 million in the next two years starting April 2014 and that is going to cost Quadra Islanders a reduction of 468 sailings a year. The current annual round trips between Campbell River and Quadra Island are 6,253.

The Comox to Powell River run will be reduced from 1,460 round

trips to 1,366, saving $720,000.Minister of Transportation Paul

The 32-year-old former treasurer of the Discovery Passage School Parent Advisory Committee in Campbell River was sentenced to six months in jail for stealing over $9,000 from the group.

Neil Taylor had appeared Thursday in Campbell River provincial court for stealing $9,000 from money raised for a new playground at Discovery Passage School.

Initially both Taylor and his wife Jessica, who was Chair of the Committee, were charged with fraud over $5,000 and theft over $5,000 in rela-tion to funds stolen from the Parent Advisory

Council’s fund raising coffers. Both had actively campaigned in the community to raise funds for the project.

Charges against Jessica were dropped when the prosecution reached an agreement that Neil Taylor would plead guilty to charges of theft over $5,000.

The $9,189.25, the amount the authorities could prove was stolen, has been paid back.

Taylor disclosed that the funds were stolen in order to catch up on family bills, including rent and food. Before he could pay it back the funds were discovered to be missing.

The Taylors have small children at home. Neil has recently been working at a camp job in Alberta.

Former PAC treasurergets six months in jail

First Campbell River was featured on CBC’s Rick Mercer Report and now Campbell River will be showcased nationally again this Nov. 30 when Fish’n Canada airs their visit here on Global BC at 10 a.m.

Jamie Turko, owner of Destiny River Adventures, has worked hard to bring Campbell River into the spotlight on a nation-al stage. Turko took Rick Mercer snorkeling with the salmon on Aug. 23 in 2011 and Turko said he was looking for another oppor-tunity to have Campbell River featured.

“I contacted a bunch of fishing shows and Fish’n Canada was very excited about the

opportunity. This would not have happened without Campbell River Tourism, Hello BC and Tourism BC. It was a great week,” said Turko.

In late August, Fish’n Canada hosts Pete Bowman and Angelo Viola flew into the River City with their film crew and had a full slate scheduled including filming Destiny River Adventure’s Raft and Snorkel with the Salmon Adventure, the Roderick Haig-Brown Heritage House, fishing the famous Tyee Club pool, the Campbell River Discovery Fishing Pier, Elk Falls, and fly fishing the Campbell River.

The Campbell River Filipino Canadian Cultural Association is overwhelmed by the support of the Campbell River community since appealing for help to raise funds to sup-port the people affected by the devastating effects of Typhoon Haiyan.

A fund raising dinner and dance will be held on Saturday, Nov. 23, at the Community Centre. Doors open at 4:30 p.m., the event starts at 5:30. There will be a silent auction, 50/50 raffle tickets and some Filipino performances.

Minda Harrison, one of the organizers of the “Appeal for Help Charity Dinner and Dance” said she is so proud of the Campbell River community and her ability to call it ‘home’. She also said they are planning a second fund raiser for Dec. 7.

Members of the Association will be cooking their ethnic Filipino dishes to be served at the event. The fee for the event is ‘by donation”.

For more information about the dinner and dance, and the Christmas event, you can con-tact Minda at 250-923-1771 and the treasurer of the Association, Salve, at 250-204-5992.

The only refuge is in humility, an utterly convinced, completely self-effacing humility before the complexity of truth and the even greater complexity of human nature, in the solemn certainty that complete impartiality and complete honesty are beyond the power of man, no matter how he may strain for them. In this there is a measure of help towards the proper balance of head and heart and law that yields a fair decision. - Roderick Haig-Brown

Campbell River Courier-Islander Wednesday, Nov. 20, 2013 6

Our View

By Les LeyneMy entire Island life, I’ve looked

forward to the day I would go up to the ferry terminal, nod my distin-guished grey head and ride the boat for free.

All those years huddled on the car deck to avoid the temptation to spend money on the Pacific Buffet, I held that thought dear.

Sitting miserably in the below-decks dog prison, forsaking all the expensive fleece vests in the gift shop far above, I thought: “Someday, I will lounge on the sundeck, brandish my cane at loud teenagers and it will all be free.”

Until Monday, when they took my dream and smashed it. The Monday-Thursday free ride for sen-iors will come to an end next April, when the over-65 set will start pay-ing half-price on the passenger fare that’s been waived for years.

It’s hard to know who to resent more — the baby-faced cabinet minister Todd Stone who made this move or all the seniors who enjoyed for years what most of us boomers will now never get — the free ride.

Stone, a 40-something who

looks 10 years younger, promised to “look people in the eye” while he’s explaining this decision. There are going to be a lot of stare-downs between now and April, because “no more free rides” goes well beyond what was contemplated when the government started gearing up for the big curtailments announced Monday.

All the budgeting and fiscal pro-jections produced a target of $19 million that had to be carved out of B.C. Ferries’ costs when the govern-ment started the coast-wide series of consultations. And $19 million in savings is what they produced. There are $14 million worth of cuts to the minor and northern routes up and down the coast, and $5 million more from the major routes over time.

But Stone went well past the established target when he announced no more free rides for seniors, as well. It’s expected to produce $6 million more in rev-enue a year, which is about a third more than the original target. He explained it as a pre-emptive move against the cost crisis that is shap-

ing up in future years, beyond the time frame the other curtailments are designed to fix.

The message is: If you think B.C. Ferries is in financial trouble now, you should see what the books will look like in five years, under current trends.

About a million passengers a year get the seniors’ break. But the fare isn’t waived. It’s picked up by the government, to the tune of $15 million last year to cover all those rides.

The projection is that seniors will pay $6 million at half-fare next year.

The working understanding is that the government fare subsidy will continue, and B.C. Ferries will get to retain the expected $6 million in half-fares, as well.

Left out of those projections is the baby boom. The first baby boomers started getting their free rides in 2011. The obvious demo-graphic bulge would have seen huge take-up on that mid-week break in coming years, something that likely factored in their thinking.

It was first bestowed in 1976. It

had a 37-year run, and soon it will be gone. In the spirit of generosity, I will suppress my jealous feelings about all those affluent, Lexus-driving golden-agers who caught the break that will come to an end before my chance comes. Luck of the draw.

Not that objecting would have accomplished anything, anyway.

There was a lengthy round of consultation before this plan was unveiled and another round of lis-tening is scheduled now that it’s out.

But the next round is only about “tweaking” the schedule changes on all the routes that were affected. The seniors’ fare is a done deal, as far as the government is concerned.

As for the slot machines, they’re just a bit of flash thrown in to dis-tract people from the grim news. An overall eight per cent reduction in service brings home the new normal for the service.

And the previously unthinkable end to the seniors-ride-free policy shows how desperate the struggle has become to keep fare hikes from slipping out of control.

Glacier News Service

Seniors free ride loss hits home

The question is, how valuable is the ferry system and how important is it to coastal communities?

If you live on the coast you pretty well know it’s valuable and important. If you live in downtown Vancouver, it’s more of a luxury item that is nice to have at hand for a vacation to Vancouver Island.

The recent cuts by the ferry corporation will leave gaps in health care, emergency services, social interaction, employment and general servi-ces in many coastal communities. And when the corporation sits down to discuss these cuts they are undoubtedly going to hear about it.

The problem is that the ferry system is integral to many aspects of our communities but in trying to go-it-alone as a separate entity from government, BC Ferries is caught trying to at least balance the books.

That simply can’t be done. At least without doing what they are doing, cutting services and raising fares.

The government must look at this situation as it would any highway that moves its people and its commerce. Imagine if the roads department was a separate entity and had to balance its books while maintaining our provincial highways. There would be toll booths on just about every corner.

The only solution is a pragmatic realization that the service is vital, that keeping fares down is vital and that finding an alternative way of funding it is imperative.

Between a rock and a hard place

Poll question: Should the province fund and maintain BC Ferries as it does our highway system?

From our readers

An open letter to Campbell River Mayor Walter Jakeway and city council, published here by request.

I am writing in response to the BC Government’s decision to reduce some sched-uled sailings on some ferry routes. The ferry to and from Quadra is essentially a continuation of the provincial highway system. This would the same as shutting down any road between communities throughout BC from 9 p.m. until 6 a.m. Quadra Island residents work, go to school, attend cultural events, shop and are involved in sports activities in Campbell River. Hospital staff from Quadra who need to work shifts, get called in for emergencies and are needed to work overtime to adequately staff

the Campbell River hospital, would be greatly impacted as they will also not be able to get to the hospital or get home from later work.

There are also Campbell River residents who work on Quadra.

For example a large number of employees at Walcan are Campbell River residents and will be restricted to hours they can work if the ferry stops sailing so early.

They also depend on the ferries to move their products.

I would hope that the Mayor and all the council will speak out about this situation hap-pening and support our communities that need the ferry service.

Did you know?Many times it is to a homeowner’s advantage to open the drapes and let sunlight shine in. Still, for shift workers, parents of young children who need to nap or just those who have south- or west-facing win-dows that make rooms overly warm, darkening the room is necessary at certain times of the day. The easiest and most effective way to do so is to purchase blackout curtains. Depending on the brand and quality of the curtains, some of them may block out sunlight entirely while provid-ing additional benefi ts. While preventing sunlight from entering a room, blackout curtains, which are thicker than traditional curtains, may also be effective at insulating rooms against drafty windows and providing noise reduction.

In an effort to make HIV testing as routine and accessible as possible, AIDS Vancouver Island in Campbell River are teaming up with Island Health (VIHA) to host a “Blood Blitz” testing day with HIV tests, flu shots and sex-ually transmitted infection tests being made available to everyone.

The Blood Blitz Testing Day will take place on Wednesday Nov. 27 from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. as part of AIDS Awareness Week at the Campbell River offices of AIDS Vancouver Island (1371 Unit C, Cedar Street)

The event will offer the so-called rapid HIV test which allows HIV test results in less than 60 seconds.

“Offering the 60 second tests, greatly reduces the anxiety people feel about waiting to get their results. We can offer the test and offer support all in one visit. We’re hoping

people will visit us for the Blood Blitz and see how easy getting tested can be” says Leanne Cunningham key event organizer and support worker at AIDS Vancouver Island in Campbell River.

The initiative is in line with the goals of the provincial government’s supported STOP HIV Project which aims to seek HIV infection through increased testing and connect people to treatment if they are infected with the HIV virus.

“The more people we can get tested the more people we can get connected to treat-ment. Once people are on treatment, they are less likely to transmit the virus”, says Katrina Jensen, executive director of AIDS Vancouver Island. Last year there was the lowest number of new HIV infections recorded in British Columbia.

A motorhome caught fire Tuesday at about 10:45 a.m. at the Fibre Pro Boatworks yard at 1469 - 16th Ave. Fire crews are shown here trying to contain the inferno.

Mainstream Canada will now be using Cermaq as the name for its fish farming oper-ations.

“We are excited about this change. We have always been proud to be part of the Cermaq group, which has an excellent reputation worldwide for transparency and sustainability,” says Fernando Villarroel, managing director of Mainstream Canada.

“Adopting the Cermaq name will unite us as a fish farming group.”

The Mainstream name will continue as a brand for now. The changes will be implement-ed in the near future.

“Cermaq is a well-established name, and a

common name will strengthen our global oper-ations,” says Cermaq CEO Jon Hindar.

Following the sale of the feed division EWOS, which was completed Oct. 31, Cermaq will focus on fish farming only and will utilize the strengths found in one common name.

“With this change, Cermaq will be uni-fied and will be able to take advantage of the opportunities of being focused solely on fish farming,” says Hindar.

Cermaq is one of the world’s largest farm-ers of salmon and trout, with operations in Norway, Chile and Canada.

The farming operations have been built on acquisitions and organic growth.

Continued from page 1. “Sturdy was assigned

by Premier Christy Clark to work with our group of chairs (representing 70 per cent of the population of BC) to find a solution to the ferry issue. This designation by the premier came right after the Union of BC Municipalities unanimously passed a resolu-tion calling on the provincial government to treat the mar-ine highway in the same man-ner as the terrestrial highways.

“We thought this assign-ment by the premier had been made in good faith. But coastal communities, totally dependent on current levels of ferry service, are being cut off at the knees in a uni-lateral ministerial announce-ment before the consultation process even begins. What a slap in the face to hard work-ing coastal residents who are major contributors to the provincial economy. Ferries are our marine highways and they allow coastal BC to contribute to the economic development of the province.”

Trevena said the service reductions will have an “out-rageous impact” on commun-ities such as Quadra Island.

“The government is writ-ing off a huge section of the population in making these cuts,” said Trevena. “They know that charging seniors is going to hurt them and reduce

their ability to travel. Half price off a BC Ferries fare is a high cost.”

Trevena said “we are sup-posed to have a ferry service not a floating casino. And this from a government that used to oppose gambling. This is no vision for ferries. The government knows that ferry fares are already beyond tip-ping point and they blithely continue to raise fares. This isn’t user pay, it’s usury.

“Cutting routes is an outrage and disgraceful. It doesn’t deal with the under-lying problem that the Coastal Ferries Act simply does not work and has allowed for bloated management and spiraling costS, and now route closures.”

In an open letter to Campbell River Mayor Walter Jakeway and city council local resident Margret Montgomery said the ferry to and from Quadra is essentially a con-tinuation of the BC highway system.

“This would be the same as shutting down any road between com-munities throughout BC from 9 p.m. until 6:15 am,” she said. “Quadra Island residents work, go to school, attend cultural events, shop and are involved in sports activities in Campbell River.

“Hospital staff from Quadra who need to work shifts, get called in for emer-gencies and are needed to work overtime to adequately staff the Campbell River Hospital would be greatly impacted as they will also not be able to get to the hospital or get home from later work.”

Montgomery also pointed out that there are Campbell River residents who work on Quadra.

“For example a large num-ber of employees at Walcan (fish processing plants) are Campbell River residents and will be restricted to hours they can work if the ferry stops sailing so early.”

Starting this week, the government announced a new round of community engage-ment getting under way, so that ferry users and other British Columbians can com-ment on these planned chan-ges. Details of this engage-ment are available at www.coastalferriesengagement.ca

By Sian Thomson

Campbell River Courier-Islander

Bear the abandoned dog is starting to learn what being warm and safe and loved means, probably for the first time in his life.

The aging lab/collie mix has touched the hearts of people near and far as dona-tions continue to pour in to help the dog, who has multiple infections, malnutrition and severely damaged teeth, recover from what is estimated to have been a six-month ordeal in and around the woods.

The dog had been spotted many times wandering alone between Duncan Bay

Store and Ripple Rock since June of this year. People had tried to catch him but he was too scared to stop.

Shalaine Lawson successfully rescued him when she went out to put food out and found him hypothermia and too exhausted to run away.

A full time student, she is now nursing him back to health and plans on making him a member of her family.

Since the story first ran in the Courier-Islander last week, his facebook page has had over 2,900 views and he has over 250 fans. CHEK TV and Global BC have covered his story. And just when everyone thought the mystery of where he came from

would never be solved, someone notified Lawson of who the previous owner of Bear was.

In fact, his name was “Blackie”, and

according to the reliable source, his life before this last traumatic experience was not a walk in the park either.

Morning and Evening PrayerPrayer can be unplanned and spontaneous, and sometimes the spontaneous prayer that fl ows out of an abundance of spirit is exactly the right prayer for the moment. But, more often than not, it is best to have a prayer routine. People who take their spirituality seriously usually have set times when they pray. Morning and Evening prayer are perhaps the most common times, but many also add a midday prayer. Praying shortly after arising in the morning and shortly before going to bed “bookends” our day with the sacred. It also helps to have a prayer book or some systematic way to pray. If you have never done this, invest in a prayer book and try it for a month or two. Most prayer regimens are fairly simple and need not be very time-consuming. Five or ten minutes each morning and evening will be time well-spent. So, perhaps you could check out your local Christian bookstore or ask your Pastor for guidance with this. You will be amazed at how regular prayer will improve the quality of your life. — Christopher Simon

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds inChrist Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7

Continued from page 14.“Well first of all it is very clear he had been neglected

from the severity of his health issues,” said the source. “The dog came from Merritt. He was tied to the back of a van where some people used to go and throw rocks at him.”

Someone took the dog away from that situation, but sadly he was returned to the owner after being reassured the dog would be better cared for and get veterinary treatment.

“Years and years have passed and that dog has not seen a vet, ever been licensed and slept on a mattress outside and chained 24/7,” said the source. “When the SPCA was called after being alerted to the neglect, the owner was issued a warning to seek veterinary care for him ASAP. Instead the owner dropped him off on the highway, but claimed he was being kept indoors for weeks, before changing the story about leaving him with a dog sitter while attending rehab. That never happened.”

Shalaine Lawson spoke to this source who came over to visit Bear and confirm his identity.

“He has lived a very sad, neglected life,” said Lawson. “I am going to contact the authorities and urge them to press charges. I sincerely thank this person for coming forward. It took courage, and this person has all of my respect of gratitude. It is a long story, so suffice to say, it is worse than we all thought.”

The former owner of Bear actually contacted both the veterinary clinic treating Bear, and Shalaine Lawson, admit-ting that Bear was a “lost” dog and had been missing for two weeks from a friend’s house. This person also called the Courier-Islander and stated the same thing.

The person was unable to produce any evidence such as licences, tattoos, microchip or medical records, although it is the same person identified by the source as being the neglectful owner.

Dawson is going to be his permanent owner now.“He saw the vet on Friday,” she said. “He had lost

weight at that point but the vet said that was normal because he wasn’t able to absorb everything because of his worms. He is now worm free I believe. He has really cheered up and wags his tail now. He is also flea free. His urinary tract infection appears to have cleared as well. His skin is no longer red and is barely swollen as opposed to before. His ear infection is slowly going away as well. He cries every night until he is taken for a very short walk. His appetite seems to have increased big time over the weekend and he eats with a lot more enthusiasm now. They want him to gain at least 10 pounds before we talk about getting him fixed. And then there is significant dental work and repair to do on this poor guy.”

Bear’s teeth are broken and missing and the veterinarian

said it looked like he had been chewing on a chain or wire cage his whole life.

Lawson wants to thank everyone for their generosity towards her new little friend. She hopes donations will continue as his veterinary costs will be in the thousands. Anyone wanting to donate can get that information from the “For the Love of a Dog now named Bear” facebook page.

“He has received so many donations and it is so great to know that other people care about this dog,” said Lawson. “On another note, I’d also like to acknowledge all of the other people who were out there looking for him and encouraging each other and posting sightings while we were all searching for him. It made it possible for all of us to help and to put the pieces of his puzzle together in order to make our best effort at finding him.”

Hold onto your hat. That whirlwind of activity known as the Fifth annual Financial Planning Week (Nov. 17-23) is here. Well, maybe not here and in checking, not much there either. Who knows, with a little effort, like-minded professionals might be able to come up with some ideas for creating more awareness HERE in 2014.

T’was a time when everyone had to earn and save before making a purchase. That seemed to work pretty well. Maybe not practical for buying a home or even a new vehicle but a good principle nonetheless. I guess the margins in lending are a lot better than those in teaching to save. The most notable campaign at the moment is aimed at encouraging people to give up their credit cards 1 day a week. It’s only partially there for individuals as it is also designed to help small businesses with the onerous fees with accepting credit cards.

I find it somewhat ironic that the extended benefits associated with many employer plans often include partial or full reim-bursements for massage, acupuncture, chiropractic etc. Yes, they may directly affect your ability to be at work or at the least be more productive at work. I know. Yet, I’ve never seen 1 that offered any one-on-one assistance with planning your retirement. I’m sure

that some may also be more productive at work if they felt more in control of their current obligations and future financial security.

I see a top 10 list of things recommended for FPW. Lots of verbs like talk, track, budget, plan but very little descriptive on “how-to.” For example, make a budget for a month. Not so difficult for some but for those that actually need it the most almost impossible. How about directions on how, where and why?

Imagine if you will, The Canada Food Guide (google it). Five to six pages of simple, colored charts and descriptions of how much to eat to maintain proper weight and improved health for all age groups. A refer-ence to the benefits, some positive steps to take, some to avoid and a note to add vitamin D as you age. While it may not work perfectly for every, single individual in society it would be a good starting point. Dead simple. Now imagine, The Canada Budget Guide. It really is that simple. For at the very heart of financial success is a commitment to a few simple principles over a longer period of time.

Mercer out.

The casting call went out in September for Shoreline Musical Theatre’s production of The Sound of Music, and seven of the roles to be filled were those of Captain Von Trapp’s children.

“We were looking for children who not only could sing, but were interested and wanted to entertain,” said co-director Ruth Nichol. “They not only needed to be creative and desire to be engaged,” added artistic director and choreographer Heather Gordon Murphy, “but they also had to have the ability to be still.”

“The children are very important to the story,” says Nichol. “They bring their father back to his great love of music, and they help instigate the friendship of Maria and the Captain (played by Mary Jo Wood and Ryan Mennie).”

“They create the beauty of innocence and wonder,” said Gordon Murphy.

There were a fair number of children auditioning, and, after call backs, seven were selected, with a variety of backgrounds — from the experienced to brand new.

Plessa Walden plays Liesl, the old-est of the Von Trapp children. She has had previous experience on stage, and enjoys not only performing, but the challenge of finding her character.

There are two sons in the Von Trapp family — Jeffrey Lindenbach plays Kurt and Liam Broadhurst plays Friedrich. For both boys, it is their first time on stage. Broadhurst’s sister was auditioning, and so he decided to give it a try as well.

“I’m enjoying all of it,” he said. “Friedrich is the oldest boy, so he probably feels like he needs to lead Kurt in the right way.”

Rose Gibson has the part of Gretl, the youngest member of the family,

and this is also her first time on stage. She is enjoying the acting and singing, but says it is challenging “remembering every single thing you have to do.” Her older sister, Olivia, has the part of Marta. Olivia has dance experience, and is really enjoying portraying a character, and “making all the expressions, like when our dad says he’s going to marry Frau Schraeder, I have a look like what???”

Abigail Broadhurst plays the part of Brigitta. She has training in musical theatre and voice, and decided to audition after seeing the ad in the paper. She is enjoy-ing performing, and notes that she has one tricky scene where everything gets a bit tense. She said that her character is a “bit nosy — she likes to figure stuff out before other people”.

Louisa, the mischief maker, is played by Atraia Colongioli. She has had a variety of performing experiences in dance, theatre

and choir. She is loving being part of the production, and is happy to be part of such a dedicated group.

“My challenge was the audition,” she said. “I was really nervous and didn’t think I’d get the part, but I did!”

The children are coming together as a family in a lovely, entertaining way. The Sound of Music runs from Thursday, Nov. 28 to Saturday, Nov. 30, including a mati-nee on the Saturday. Tickets are $27, and available at the Tidemark Box Office, or on-line at tidemarktheatre.com.

Hey Kids

‘Aladdin’, the Rivercity Players latest pantomime, is gearing up for their per-formance in December.

‘Panto’ as it’s informal-ly called, is a raucous musical comedy stage pro-duction, including songs, slapstick comedy, dancing, and gender-crossing actors like the Widow Twankey.

Combining topical humour with a story loose-ly based on a well-known fairy tale, Panto is a par-ticipatory form of theatre,

in which the audience is expected to sing along with certain parts and shout out phrases and questions to the performers.

All the shenanigans of family fun will be at the Tidemark Theatre Dec. 28, 29 and 30 at 7:30 p.m. plus a matinee on Dec. 31.

Tickets are available at the Tidemark box office, or through tidemarktheatre.com, or by calling 250-287-PINK.

Just like when they won seven straight Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League (VIJHL) champion-ships, it seems the good times are returning for the Campbell River Storm.

First off, just like the old days, Friday’s home game at Rod Brind’Amour Arena was a packed house of 1,001 fans, as the Storm skated to a convincing 6-1 victory over the Oceanside Generals, their fifth straight win.

And then on Saturday they made it six in a row, and in the process stopped their Island Highway rivals Comox Valley Glacier Kings winning streak at 10, with an impressive 4-0 shutout win.

“I think they (Glacier Kings) were more worried about our five game win-ning streak,” said Storm head coach Lee Stone when asked about ending Comox’s streak at 10. “The boys are making sure they’re doing all the little things that it takes to win a champion-ship.”

Even more impressive than the six game winning streak, which leaves the Storm’s record at 14-7-2, is the fact

Saturday’s shutout win was Storm net-minder Jack Surgenor’s third straight goose egg and raised his streak to an

amazing 212 minutes of not allowing a goal.

On Sunday the No. 1 Auto Body Midget Tyees won a squeaker at Rod Brind’Amour Arena.

Backed by some stellar goaltend-ing from Riley Mathieson, and a third period game winning goal from Gage Crawford, the Tyees edged the Port Alberni Bulldogs, 2-1, in Vancouver Island Division 2 Midget Hockey League action.

Campbell River opened the scoring at 5:07 of the first period when Jake McKenzie intercepted a clearing pass and broke in alone on the left side to beat the Bulldogs goalie.

Despite numerous power play oppor-tunities, for both teams, in the opening period the score remained 1-0 Tyees.

Port Alberni got on the board eight minutes into the second period when a shot from the point beat Mathieson to the top left corner. The Tyees gave up several scoring chances but Mathieson came up with some key saves.

The Tyees game winner came 3:39 into the third period when Keaton Dion found an uncovered Crawford in the slot, who then slotted the puck past the Port Alberni netminder for the game winner.

The Mainstream Canada Young Masters extended their unbeaten run in the Division 4B of the Vancouver Island Soccer League (VISL) Sunday. It was however anything but the comfortable victory that was anticipated when the league leaders took on the bottom of the table Saanich Fusion.

But in the end the red hot Young Masters prevailed, 3-0, to raise their league leading record to 8-0-1 to sit six points in front of both Zgoda and Vic West. So far in their VISL rookie cam-paign the Young Masters have outscored their opposition 51-5.

Despite dominating the possession in the game the Young Masters failed to capitalise on numerous goal scoring opportunities and found themselves scoreless after 80 minutes of play. Fortunately the deadlock was broken when Shane Dumanoir just beat the excellent Saanich keeper to a loose ball to get the vital opening goal.

Minutes later it was 2-0 when Shane Berry converted a penalty kick. The third goal was scored by Jason Fawkes after an excellent low cross from Kevin Shelswell.

For only the second time in its school history the Campbell River Christian School (CRCS) can boast an Island championship team.

The provincially top 10 ranked CRCS Cougars went to the Vancouver Island A Girl’s High School Volleyball Championships and returned as cham-pions defeating Duncan Christian, in three sets, in the final Saturday.

“The school (CRCS) has won many individual Island champions in track, but this is only the second time a school team has an Island cham-pion, the last time was in 2006,” said Cougars coach Kathy Andrews.

CRCS started off the round robin portion defeating QMS, Lake Cowichan and Port Hardy. The three victories paced the Cougars first in their pool and a cross-over playoff game against the fourth place team from the other pool.

They topped Nanaimo Christian in the quarterfinal and then met Lake Cowichan again in the semifinals, and beat them once more.

The gold medal match over Duncan Christian gains CRCS a berth into Provincials.

“We are very excited (about qualifying for BC’s),” said Andrews. Provincials are slated for Duncan in

two weeks time.After the tournament title match,

the Cougars Jade Coon was named

tourney MVP, while teammate Kaitlyn Falk (#7) was named an Island all-star.

After a successful inaugural year, the Vancouver Island Performance Youth Racing Squad (VIPYRS) is pleased to announce its affiliation with Pacific Cycling Centre (PCC) in Victoria. The partnership will expose VIPYRS to a new level of competition with access to PCC’s Houshang Amiri – noted National, Olympic, and UCI Coach.

To kick off the 2014 cyc-ling season, VIPYRS and PCC will be hosting a Vancouver Island Talent ID Camp under the direction of coach Amiri. This camp is for riders aged 14-18 (permission required for riders under 14) and will take place in Courtenay on Dec. 8. The camp will include in-class training presentations, and on-road skill training and observa-

tion led by PCC coaches and National champions. Athletes with potential will be consid-ered for the VIPYRS program. The cost for the camp is $50 per athlete. Registration dead-line is Nov. 30.

“PCC is very ecstatic to work and partner with an organization like VIPYRS, which is thoroughly committed to the development of sport and young athletes in our community,” said Amiri.

VIPYRS is an Island-wide youth develop-ment/high performance cycling team. The team looks forward to build-ing on its previous suc-cesses which include multiple U17 and U15 Provincial road and

track championships.PCC provides coaching

services for Elite, Masters, and Junior athletes in road, moun-tain bike, track, and cyclo-cross.

For further information or to register for the Talent ID Camp, contact VIPYRS through their website – www.vipyrsracing.com.

Storm from page 21.“Jack (Surgenor) and Griffin (Ballie, Storm

No 2. netminder) give us the best goaltend-ing I’ve been associated with in my career,” said Stone who has seen his team outscore the opposition 35-6 during the six game streak. “But it is also a credit to the players in front of them. The defence are blocking shots and letting their goalies see the pucks and the for-wards are coming back to help out.”

There’s no doubt the Storm’s defensive game is the best in the VIJHL right now, but their offence is no slouch either, in fact, it’s the second best only to the Victoria Cougars. The Storm hold down the No. 1 and No. 2 slots in the VIJHL scoring race. Brendan deVries sits in first with 44 points on 17 goals and 27 assists. Linemate Brayden Taekema is in second with 37 points including a league high 20 goals.

In the Oceanside win the Storm led by per-iod scores of 1-0 and 4-0 while outshooting the Generals, 39-21, in the game.

Stephen Hawco led the Storm attack with a four point outing including a pair of goals. James Severs, Taekema, Josiah Friesen and Alex Brewer rounded out the scoring. Colin Blake chipped in with three assists, deVries and Friesen each had a pair, Dom Kolbeins and Gage Colpron had one helper each.

Unfortunately for Ballie his shutout bid was broken at the 16:16 mark of the final period by Jonah Pearson.

Against what was the red hot Glacier Kings, the Storm ended outshooting Comox 41-28, breaking the game open with three third period markers.

“It was a close game, but we stuck to our

game plan and it paid off,” said Stone of Saturday’s win.

Kolbeins scored twice for the Storm, Brewer and Colpron had the other two Campbell River goals. Severs and deVries had two assists each, single helpers went to Ryan Grills, Trent Johnson, Evan Pugh and Taekema.

This Thursday the Storm travel to Nanaimo to play the North Division leading Buccaneers. Friday they host the Glacier Kings at Rod Brind’Amour Arena. Game time is 7:30 p.m.

Storm Front...To whittle down their roster, following the game Friday the Storm traded forwards Stephen Hawco and Colin Blake to Sicamous for future considerations.

Recently four Central Island Youth Soccer Academy players (CIYSA), trained locally by Greg Borrie headed down to Nanaimo for their next step in their soccer development.

Charlie Borrie, Brayden Hues, Josh Rolland and Sam Borrie put their skills to the test and were evaluated by Craig Angus, head coach for the Whitecaps’ Vancouver Island Prospect Program as well as Regional Programs Manager Sam Lenarduzzi.

All players must pass the evaluation process in order to qualify for the pro-gram. The ‘fab four’ did not disappoint with all of them successfully passing the evaluation and are currently in the first phase of the Whitecaps 10 month program. All four have been recently asked to attend a training session in Vancouver in December.

The Prospect Program is broken into 12 week sessions/one day a week– fall, winter and spring – at the end of each

session the players are given a writ-ten assessment on their develop-ment over the past 12 weeks. At the beginning of January each play-er must undergo another evalua-tion to make sure they still have the necessary skills to continue to train in

a high performance environment. Given that Rolland and Hues are

born in 2002 their aim is to eventually qualify for the Whitecaps’ residency program. Charlie Borrie – the only girl – born in 2001 goal is the Girls Elite to hopefully lead into the Canadian National Team. Sam Borrie, the young-est member born in 2004, coming off his recent success with Southhampton Academy of the English Premier

League is happy to be closer to home and able to follow in his dad’s footsteps.

All four felt prepared going in as they have been training on a consist-ent basis be it in the High Performance Development League with Glenn Assu and Greg Borrie in the spring/summer to their training with CIYSA in fall/winter. To keep their skills top notch they will be attending training sessions once again with CIYSA and this month.

The Campbell River Peewee Hurricanes opened their Vancouver Island Peewee Female Hockey League season on a winning note, 9-1, over the Cowichan Capitals at the Island Saving Centre in Duncan Sunday. Nine Hurricanes shared in the scoring with some players pick-ing up their first goal of the season and of their career.

The Hurricanes and Capitals skated to a 0-0 tie after the first per-iod. Then the Hurricanes started to roll with Melayna Beaudin opening the scoring unassisted. Salena Hope and Shelby Robertson picked up their first goals of the season with Sydney Cole, Sierra Super and Abby Delmar picking up an assist each. The Hurricanes led 3-0 after two periods.

The third period had Delmar score her first career goal unassisted to lead things off. Shayna Moen, Cole, Lauren Martynyk, Super and Paige Beauregard rounded out the scoring, with Beaudin and Robertson picking up an assist each.

Hurricanes goalie Ashley Hogg’s shutout bid was broken with just four minutes left in the game.

Next up for the Hurricanes is a weekend trip to face the Peninsula Eagles on Dec. 7 and then the Victoria Ice Hawks the following day.

The City of Campbell River extends a special thanks to the agencies and dedicated members of the general public who devoted time to ensure that a broad community view was provided and discussed during the downtown waterfront design charrette and lead-up events. Their involvement provided necessary input into the process, and alerted the design team to aspirations for a revitalized downtown Campbell River.

In case you are not familiar with the downtown waterfront design charrette, the City of Campbell River hosted a two and a half day intensive visioning and design “charrette” from November 13 to 15 to develop an innovative, community supported concept for a vacant waterfront site in downtown Campbell River near Roberts Reach Road and Highway #19A. This exercise was to fi ne-tune the community vision for this area that was established through the Sustainable Offi cial Community Plan process. The success of this event may lead to similar exercises in other areas of our community.

The organizations and agencies represented at the charrette event include:

• Vancouver Island Real Estate Board• Youth Action Committee• North Island College• RCMP• Downtown Campbell River Business Improvement

Association• Campbell River Arts Council• Tidemark Theatre Society• School District #72• BC Ferry Services• Campbell River & District Chamber of Commerce• Young Professionals of Campbell River• Greenways Land Trust• BC Centre for Aquatic Health Sciences Society• Representatives from the Tourism Industry and

Development Industry

Which is the best business on Vancouver Island, in which category? Organizers and sponsors of the 14th Annual Vancouver Island Business Excellence Awards (VIBEAs) want to find out, as the call for nominations has been issued for the popular event, taking place Jan. 23, 2014, at the Vancouver Island Conference Centre in Nanaimo.

“The Business Excellence Awards has been a ‘can’t miss’ date on the calendar of events on Vancouver Island since our very first one in 1999,” said Robert MacDonald of Business Examiner Vancouver Island, who founded the event.

The event, sponsored by RBC Royal Bank, has its nominations open until Dec. 15.

“We wanted to create an event that cele-brated the very best of business on the Island and it has been that, and more,” he said.

“Each year we’re amazed at the quality and volume of businesses competing … and we expect that momentum to build quickly for this years’ event.”

There will be numerous categories in this years’ event, including:

• Automotive Business of the Year;• Business of the Year (over 50 employees);• Community Leader of the Year;• Construction/Development Company of the Year;

• Insurance/Financial Services;• Manufacturer of the Year;• Professional Company of the Year;• Real Estate Company of the Year;• Entrepreneur of the Year;• Forestry/Wood Products Company of the Year;

• Health Company of the Year;• Hospitality/Tourism Business of the Year;• Retailer of the Year;• Small Business of the Year (under 50 employees);

• Technology Business of the Year;• Going Green Award;• Trades Company of the Year.“There are always a number of surprises

when it comes time to announce the winners,” said MacDonald. “The judges have a tough task ahead of them to determine which busi-ness stands out above the crowd in their cat-egory. Some of the success stories are simply amazing.”

Indeed, the VIBEAs have become an effect-ive marketing tool for businesses, with the stories of all finalists published in a souvenir book, in print and online, to commemorate the event. Some winners use the VIBEA logo in their own marketing tools after the event, announcing their victories and nominations.

“It’s a tremendous way to capitalize on the free publicity that comes for even being nominated for such a prestigious award,” MacDonald explained.

“When you’re able to tell clients and potential customers that you’re an award-win-ning company, that helps set you apart in the marketplace and above your competitors.”

VIBEA winners will be announced in the February issue of the Business Examiner. For more information about the event, or sponsor-ship, contact Robert MacDonald at 250-758-2684. To nominate a business, visit www.busi-nessvi.ca/events and download a nomination form.

14th annual awardsfor Island businesses

Start the holiday season off early this year by honouring the memory of Christmas trees past. These two volunteered last year and had a great time. Get out to help plant trees and enhance the Nunns Creek watershed with Greenways Land Trust. They will be planting on Sunday, Nov. 24 from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m, opposite Perks Donuts on Homewood Road. Everyone is welcome, please park in the lot across the road. All equipment is provided, but make sure to wear sturdy footwear and clothing appropriate for the weather — they will be planting rain or shine. For more information, contact Cynthia Bendickson at [email protected] or phone 250-287-3785.
