A 33-year-old Campbell River man is dead and his 18-year-old brother is in police custody.

Police responded to a report of an assault in the 1800 block of Mo Road at about 2:10 a.m. on Wednesday.

“On arrival, officers learned that a 33-year-old male resident of that location had been assaulted by his 18-year-old brother,” said Sgt. Craig Massey of the Camp-bell River RCMP.

The victim was transported to Campbell River hospital where he succumbed to his injuries at 4:45 a.m., according to Massey.

Names and details surround-ing the incident are not being released yet, but Massey said the incident is “definitely a homi-cide.”

When asked if alcohol was found on the scene Massey replied, “no comment.”

No rest for the riders, but they did get good weather… eventu-ally.

2011 Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock riders blazed their way through Campbell River Tuesday and left Wednesday morning. After battling heavy rain and wind on

their way to Sayward on Monday and then celebrating with a com-munity potluck despite a major power outage, the riders got a break of blue skies on Tuesday as they powered their way to Camp-

bell River. Local rider Shawn Hall said the welcomes so far are huge.

each place we roll into, is just incredible what they do, they bend over backwards,” said Hall.

The 22 riders spent the afternoon meeting people in the commu-nity, including local students, then had a rally at Campbell River Common. After parad-ing into the mall with Campbell River RCMP Const. Darby Klekta and her horse Tosca

leading the way, the head shavings began. In total, 37 people sheared their locks for the cause, includ-ing seven-year-old Caydence Harris, five members of Campbell River Storm Junior Hockey Club, and Deputy Fire Chief Ian Baikie. Including the Cops for Cancer Golf tournament in July, Campbell River raised about $68,000 in total

this year, according to organizer Carol Chap-man.

Hall said he hopes to raise $15,000 to $20,000 personally; right now he’s sitting at about $10,000, but the funds

are still rolling in.“Every penny counts

and it’s been awesome so far,” said Hall.

The riders had burg-ers and beer with the community at Paint-er’s Lodge before turn-ing in for the night.

Wednesday morning, they donned their hel-mets once again and cruised out of town under bright sunny skies on their way to the Comox Valley.

Hall, however, said the weather and terrain don’t really matter to them in the bigger scheme of things.

“Everybody pulls together as a team,” explained Hall. “You just think about the kids, that’s what it’s all about. And you think about what they’re going through, and it’s 100 times worse than going up a hill with wind and rain side-

KRISTEN DOUGLASCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A former Campbell River councillor is running for Mayor in the upcoming munici-pal election.

Michel Rabu, the owner and operator of coffee shop, Gourmet Java, hopes to re-enter the political ring this fall.

Rabu previously served on city council under Mayor Robert Ostler from 1985-1988.

He also ran for a spot on council in 2008, albeit unsuccessfully. This time, he’s vying for the top job.

“I believe that leader-ship, conservative fiscal policies and attracting new economic devel-opment in Campbell River are key issues on people’s minds and I believe that I possess the experience, com-

mon sense and dedica-tion that will translate into a better operated, more cost effective and business friendly City Hall,” Rabu says.

“I also believe that as a long time resident and successful busi-ness owner in Camp-bell River, I appreciate the qualities that make our city special in so many ways and I recog-nize our city’s potential as the best place to live, work and retire in Brit-ish Columbia today.”

If elected mayor, Rabu pledges to freeze property taxes in his first year of office and freeze RCMP and fire department hiring.

He says he will also re-integrate Rivercorp, the city’s economic development organiza-tion, into City Hall.

Rivercorp was estab-lished in 2001 as an independent body from

the city but councillors have questioned the effectiveness of River-corp which is funded by the city.

Rabu also promises to create, implement and encourage Down-town Core and Camp-bellton revitalization plans and conduct a peer review of all city managers.

Rabu says he has the skills to work co-oper-atively with city staff to ensure there is no wasteful spending of taxpayer money.

“I am considered by my peers as a team leader and capacity builder and I promise to direct city managers and staff to work in the most cost and result beneficial manner that will best serve the citi-zens and taxpayers of our city,” Rabu says.

“I am committed to the process and respon-

sibility of the office –it’s time to get back onour proverbial feet.”

R abu ’s p l at fo r malso includes review-ing and adopting acomprehensive Emer-gency PreparednessPlan, resolving thecity’s interest in thethree and a half acrewaterfront propertyand addressing snowremoval priorities andreviewing other essen-tial city services.

Rabu joins Coun.Roy Grant as the onlycandidates so far toannounce an intentionto run for mayor.

Mayor Charlie Corn-field’s decision to notseek re-election meansthat come November,Campbell Riveriteswill have elected a newmayor in five of thelast six elections.

Municiple electionswill take place on Nov.19.

A brand-new modular classroom at Penfield Elementary is not being used to accommodate full-day kindergarten as intended.

Instead it’s being leased by an out-of-school childcare program which has taken up residence in the classroom since the beginning of September.

“Given an enrolment decline at Penfield Elementary, there was unanticipated space within the actual school building,” said Jennifer Patrick, School District 72 spokesperson.

“The principal (Steve Koebel) made the decision that it would therefore be beneficial to house the kindergarten students within the building, instead of the modular classroom.”

The modular

classroom, which is larger than a conventional classroom, energy efficient, brightly coloured and well-lit, is one of nine the provincial government assigned to Campbell River schools.

The province committed about $1.9 million for two modular classrooms at

École Willow Point, two at Ocean Grove, two at Penfield, two at Pinecrest and one at Sandowne school.

School districts had to determine last year how many modular classrooms they would need, which could mean School District 72 may end up with more surplus classrooms. “The commitment deadline for the number of modular classrooms school districts anticipated needing was prior to the Board of Education’s

decision to change our elementary school configuration to Grades K-5,” Patrick said. “Given the configuration change and the district’s continuing projected decline in enrolment, there could be more instances where modular classrooms are being used for other purposes.”

In the event

classroom space is not being used, as is the case at Penfield school, the Ministry of Education allows school districts to use their discretion in allocating space as long as educational purposes are given first priority.

“As the school principal deemed that the school had no immediate use

for the space, a lease arrangement of this kind ties into the district’s second strategic goal of “Enhanced Community Connections,” as it further supports families within our community and early learning activities,” Patrick said.

Campbell River Food Bank patrons will soon have a roof over their heads while they wait in line for service thanks to the generos-ity of local residents and businesses.

An 80-foot long cov-ered walkway will ensure people are no longer forced to stand outside in the freezing cold, rain and snow until they can get

inside the Food Bank.The walkway, which

will be walled in and make the line-ups less visible from the street, will have three win-dows and three doors – two facing the street and one at the north end of the walkway, closest to Marwalk Crescent.

The project has been spearheaded by Jeff Goodwin, who hopes to have the walkway com-plete and functional by Monday.

“We’re getting ready now to do the framing, so I’m calling on all builders to come down and donate a day to frame it,” Goodwin said.

“My son plays for the Bantam A hockey team so we’re going to get the players to come down on the weekend and help out.”

Goodwin took it upon himself to fix up the Food Bank after seeing the condition of the building first hand.

As a Shaw employee, Goodwin picked up and dropped off curbside Food Bank donations during the company’s Harvest the River cam-paign last October.

“As I dropped off food here, I noticed

this place is a dump inside,” Goodwin said.

“I used to build houses on the side so I figured I could pick up a few trades men on the cheap and get this place re-built for hardly anything.”

Ann and George Minosky, administra-tors of the Food Bank, told Goodwin the most pressing need was for a covered holding area for the 200-250 people who line up each day to use the Food Bank.

“It’s taken 11 months to get the engineer drawings done, get a per mit application approved by the city and to gather all my trades contacts,” Good-win said.

His hard work, and

the generous dona-tions from local busi-nesses are paying off.Soon phase one, whichis the walkway, will becomplete and phasetwo – gutting the inside– should get underwaynext February.

“The way it is rightnow, it’s old and inef-f icient ,” Goodwinsaid. “George wants tohave people be able toline-up and go in onedoor and out the other.We’re also going toupgrade the freezers,upgrade the shelving;just completely reno-vate the inside andmake it nicer.”

Goodwin also plansto close in the loadingdock and holding bays,plus add an additional600 feet of storagespace.

He hopes to have theentire project finishedby March 2012.

“It’s just been awe-some so far, consider-ing the state of oureconomy,” Goodwinsaid.

“We’ve had $6,000 indonations so far frombusinesses.”

Anyone willing andable to help completethe walkway this week-end can contact Good-win at (250) 287-0746.

Wet Weather Driving

Are you prepared to drive on wet roads

after our dry summer? It’s time to shift

mental gears and be ready for another

season of less than ideal driving conditions.

Many drivers try to blame their crashes on

the weather, but a more truthful answer

might be that the reason for the crash is

failing to take the weather into account.

The crash rate in wet weather is highest

immediately after a period of dry highways.

Contaminants deposited on the pavement

surface during dry times may be spread into

a slippery fi lm when the rain starts. Extra

care is required until the rain can wash

these contaminants off of the pavement

completely.

Hydroplaning is an ever present danger

on wet roads. It is infl uenced by four things:

tread depth, tire infl ation pressure, speed and

the depth of the water on the road surface.

Drivers have complete control over the fi rst

three items and some control over the last.

Do your tire maintenance checks regularly

and replace tires when required. Keep an

eye out for water pooling or running across

the roadway and slow down accordingly.

Wet weather also means poor conditions

for driver vision. Replace your windshield

wipers at the fi rst sign that they are not

doing the job of clearing the glass properly.

Also, make sure your washer reservoir is

fi lled with the appropriate cleaning fl uid for

the season.

The city may be one step closer to having its own community forest.

At last week’s stra-tegic meeting, coun-cillors voted to hire a forestry consultant for no more than $6,000 to determine the viabil-ity of a community forest.

Council was pre-sented with a recom-mendation to apply for a community for-est two months ago but was hesitant to get involved.

Nigel Ross, chair of the city’s Future Forestry Task Force, warned council that there were a number of considerations.

“Campbell River is a forest dependent com-

munity and a commu-nity forest would fit with the town’s theme,” Ross said. “Commu-nity forests can be a viable business and can make a positive fis-cal contribution to the town. But it should be kept in mind that any business does have the risk of losing money, especially if social objectives override fis-cal priorities.”

Community forests are on provincial land and leased by commu-nities for terms of 25 years, with a renew-able option every 10 years. Although the lessee decides when, where and what to log and who to sell the logs to, the location of the forest is a joint decision between the community and the

province.The location of the

forest, as well as the objectives, are the big-gest factors in whether or not the city could turn a profit.

“If it is run like a business it might make money, if it is run for social reasons then it will probably lose money,” Ross said.

He said if the city is offered a commu-nity forest, the land base and the timber resource should be critically evaluated as both have a big impact on profitability.

“There is some vacant crown land around Campbell River that is presently not contrib-uting to the provincial AAC (Annual Allow-able Cut),” Ross said. “This land should be

incorporated into theCommunity Forest.

“It should be notedthat much of this landis within the Camp-bell River CommunityWatershed and couldbe very environmen-tally sensitive.”

Ross said if the citygoes ahead with a com-munity forest it shouldalso consider mak-ing the logs availableto local businesses atmarket prices and man-agement of the forestshould not be handledby the city.

“All phases of thecommunity forestshould be tenderedout,” Ross said.

“ T h e m a n a g e rshould be given clearobjectives to achieve.If there is a board ofdirectors the managerreports to, then theyshould be largely vol-unteer.”

Ross said he believesa community forestwould be a good fit forCampbell River butstresses it can be arisky business.

“The chances of prof-itability can be greatlyimproved if actionsare taken to maximizerevenue and minimizecosts,” Ross said.

1. Dogs don't need to be housebroken - they naturally know where to go. If they make a mess in the house, they should be punished. You need to train your dog on

where to go, using praise and positive

encouragement for jobs well done, rather

than punishment when you fi nd a mess

after the fact. Unless you catch your dog

"in the act", punishment does not serve

any useful purpose, and will only make

your dog nervous.

2. Pet dogs do not need to be obedience trained. This is not true. Every dog should

be trained using positive reinforcement

rather than punishment. Ideally, you

should take your dog to obedience

classes so that he or she learns to behave

even when there are distractions such as

other people or other dogs.

3. Female dogs should have a litter before they are spayed. There are no good reasons to allow

your dog to have a litter before spaying

her; in fact, dogs that are spayed have a

signifi cantly lower risk of

developing breast cancer

or uterine disease.

4. Only male dogs will 'hump" or lift their leg to urinate. This is not true.

Female dogs who are

dominant, even if they

have been spayed, may

lift their leg to urinate and

may "hump" other dogs or

objects.

5. Happy dogs wag their tails. Dogs do wag their

tails when they are happy,

but they also wag their

tails when they are upset

or challenged. There are

several physical body

motions and cues that help

dogs communicate their

intent. A wagging tail can

mean either agitation or

excitement. A dog that

wags his tail slowly and

moves his entire rear end

or crouches down in the

classic "play bow" position is usually

demonstrating a friendly wag. Tails

that are wagged when held higher, tails

that "twitch" or a wagging tail held

over the back may be associated with

aggression.

6. Dogs like tasty food like table scraps. Dogs have very poor taste buds

and eat primarily based on their sense

of smell. Table scraps that are fatty

can cause digestive problems such as

pancreatitis, while chunks of bone can

obstruct the intestines. Cooked bones

are brittle and when they are chewed

they can break up into sharp fragments

that can pierce the intestines, which can

cause a life-threatening emergency.

7. Dogs eat grass when they are sick. Dogs descended from wild wolves

and foxes that ate every part of their

"kill", including the stomach contents -

which included berries, grass, and other

vegetation. Many scientists believe grass

was once part of dog's normal diet and

eating small amounts of grass is normal.

8. Dogs are sick when their noses are warm. This is an old wives tale. The

temperature of a dog's nose does not

indicate health or illness. It also does

not indicate if they have a fever. The

only accurate method to access a

dog's temperature is to take it with a

thermometer.

9. Dogs lick their wounds to heal them. Their saliva has healing properties. It is natural for a dog to lick its

wounds. However, too much licking

can actually inhibit healing. Since dogs

routinely lick their anus and other objects

that are laden with bacteria, licking can

also deposit infectious bacteria on and

into the wounds, thus potentially causing

a serious infection.

10. Garlic prevents fl eas. Garlic has NOT been proven helpful

for fl ea control. Large amounts of garlic

can even be harmful.

B.C. might have shot itself in the foot with Ottawa’s gun by threatening that municipalities were prepared to abandon the venerable RCMP and form a provincial force.

The remarks, made recently by Langley’s Peter Fass-bender, the Union of B.C. Municipali-ties’ observer in contract negotiations between the province and Ottawa, came as a reaction to what many con-sider an unpalatable policing deal with the Mounties.

While the proposed 20-year contract for policing services throughout much

of the province is indeed expensive and undesirable, the comments that we’ll take our gun and strike out on our own are somewhat premature.

For one, we don’t even own the gun.Everything from the guns and handcuffs to the cruis-

ers and computers, ultimately belong to Ottawa.Despite the threat to form our own force, it appears

no one has really done the homework on how feasible that really is.

No one is presenting any numbers that show what starting a provincial force would cost, nor how it would save us money and hassle in the long-term.

Solicitor General Shirley Bond called it a “very

expensive, very challenging” prospect. In other words, we can’t afford it and probably can’t figure out how to do it.

It’s no surprise then that Ottawa called B.C.’s bluff this week, issuing an ‘ultimatum’ that we either sign the contract or the Mounties will march into the sun-set.

Next time, before we go off making threats half-cocked, perhaps we should make sure we’re not tak-ing aim at our own boots and the gun isn’t about to backfire.

Good point: VotingI lived in the U.S. For 17 years. I too am very con-

cerned about the Americanization of the parliamen-tary form of government.

Because of fixed elections the Americans spendbillions on campaigns, that could be better used else-where, and are obligated to those who donate to thosecampaigns. They are now spending millions for anelection that is more than a year away. However, I amequally concerned about choosing party leaders byparty hacks, leadership conventions, and $10 member-ship cards.

Party leaders should be chosen by their caucus, theMPs and MLAs the only people we the people get tovote for. Our current premier is a case in point, therewas no need for a convention when Campbell resigned,the caucus simply needed to choose a new leader. Thelast two Liberal leadership conventions also showed usthe folly of this system. Two very intelligent men, aca-demics, but not parliamentary leaders, elected by theparty and soundly defeated by the electorate. Shouldnot the caucus, the MPs and MLAs whom we the peopleactually vote for and who should best know who thebest leaders are, choose that leader? That is the waythe system is supposed to work, not through party con-ventions and fixed elections.

I think if Canadians are watching American politicsright now they should think twice about mimicking

I was interviewed on a Victoria radio station ear-lier this month about an issue now starting to wake up the journalistic com-munity — professionaliza-tion.

I was wearing one of my other hats, that of chair of the Canadian Association of Journalists (CAJ), an organization now taking a look at the idea.

Sparking this debate — and that is truly what it is in the media community — is a plan by the Quebec gov-ernment to create the title of professional journalist.

Under the Quebec plan, this designation would give

those journalists special consideration — informa-tion from government, for example. It’s a plan that has caused a massive uproar within the Quebec jour-nalistic community, with various columnists opin-ing this would put report-ers under state control and other strange musings.

I’ve been in favour of professionalization for a long time, although it was a tough conversion.

My husband, who worked in the business for many years and now teaches it at Thompson Rivers Univer-sity, started researching it and published papers on

the idea. He’s in favour of it.

I wasn’t but, having seen how the industry has frac-tured in recent years, I eventually agreed with him.

Here’s why.First, who is a journal-

ist? Is it someone who blogs about happenings in the world? Is it someone who grabs a notebook and pen and heads off to some foreign land experiencing conflict, calling themselves a freelancer?

Is simply graduating with a journalism degree enough to be considered one or should there be

something else?As journalists, we seem

to have some strange dis-connect between how we

view ourselves and how we want to be viewed. We want to think of

ourselves as professionals, but we don’t want to behave as other professions do.

We are reluctant to estab-lish — let alone enforce — a uniform code of ethics, for example.

We don’t require some o n g o i n g e d u c a t i o n a l upgrading in areas that continuously change, like the laws we deal with or the technology that has

me now working on a com-puter, posting online and using social media.

(Yes, I started even before there were electric type-writers in newsrooms, when there was a handful of women in a predomi-nantly male department of about 160 reporters and editors.)

One of the main reasons I’m in favour of it, though, is because I see it as a sure way we can do something we’re really lousy at — explaining to our consum-ers what we do, how we do it and, most importantly, why we do it.

There’s a reason many

people don’t trust my pro-fession — we don’t tell themwhy they should.

We simply call people up,ask them questions andexpect them to provide theanswers.

We pass judgment on peo-ple without explaining whywe should have that right.

We owe it to ourselves,too, so that in this worldwhere anyone who knowshow to blog can call them-selves a reporter, there aresome clear definitions outthere to sort out the wheatfrom the chaff.

Dale BassGuest Column

As September moves into October many United Way Campaigns are beginning at work-places all over the city.

These fundraising campaigns are hosted by the company and challenge their employ-ees to give back to their community. In Camp-bell River you can find a perfect example of an employee driven fundraising campaign hosted by Vanessa Hamer and her fan-tastic team at Scotia-bank. Describing their campaign as perfect is an understatement as every staff member

at the bank gives to United Way in Camp-bell River. They have also contributed every year for the last 15 years.

Without missing a single year they have truly become an active partner with United Way.

You might be won-dering how does an employee campaign work and how can my workplace get involved?

Employee workplace campaigns make up about 80 per cent of the United Way’s fundrais-ing campaign and the

money donated goes directly back to sup-port the area where the employee’s home postal code is. This means the funds donated will be put towards programs that serve the area where the employee’s live; helping to strength their communities and support those in need.

The program itself is quite simple to admin-ister: The employees fill out a single form and United Way will organize the rest in coordination with the payroll department.

With payroll deduc-tion, the individual

can choose how much to donate. Five dollars a pay period, the price of a fancy coffee, is a small sacrifice for most.

And yet over the course of a year, this donation can make a substantial contribu-tion to the community.

This donation is noted on the T4 form at the end of the year for tax purposes and

without very much effort that individual has joined thousands of others in support-ing their community through local assis-tance programs.

Talks between the City of Campbell River and CUPE

city workers ended once again yesterday without a contract agreement.

CUPE members and city staff met

with mediator Debbie Cameron Tuesday and Wednesday to try and work out a deal.

Casey Thomson, CUPE spokesperson,

said the city asked for more time to respond to CUPE’s demands but is hopeful a deal will be reached soon.

“We’re still optimistic we can get a settlement,” Thomson said.

“We’re keeping our fingers crossed.”

He said he couldn’t say how close the two sides are to an agreement but acknowledged “we’re still talking – that’s a

good sign.”Thomson said he

planned to speak with Cameron Thursday afternoon, after the Mirror went to press, to determine where the two sides go from here and whether it’s worth getting back together.

“At this point, there’s no further meetings scheduled but the mediator may require more time,” Thomson said.

“We’re always open to discussion and open to a settlement, if it’s worthwhile. We don’t want to talk for the sake of talking, we want a tentative deal.”

Blaine Gurrie, president of of the Campbell River CUPE unit, said the union wants changes to working hours and changes to recall language for hiring back employees after being laid off.

CUPE workers have been without a contract since Dec.31, 2009.

Talks had been kept to a minimum to allow the city time to deal with the Catalyst Paper shutdown.

But three weeks ago, 137 of the 161 CUPE municipal employees voted 88.3 per cent in favour of strike action after going to the negotiating table 10 times prior.

However, workers have remained on the job while discussions with the city are ongoing.

Laura Ciarniello, the city’s general manger of corporate services, has said she doesn’t see job action happening but that a strike vote is part of the process.

Both sides are hopeful an agreement can be reached as soon as possible.

Campbell River CUPE members provide public services at City Hall, the airport, recreation centres, public works, waterworks and sewage treatment and the RCMP.

The workers are part of CUPE local 401, which represents workers in Campbell River, Nanaimo, Parksville, Ladysmith, Qualicum Beach and Lantzville.

Imagine a trendy, new, and flourishing economy for Campbell River.

After the mass resource job losses a few years ago, Campbell River could come out of the ashes to be a hub for creative industry jobs – at least that’s what Campbell River Creative Industries Council (CRCIC) is working towards.

Shannon Baike, CRCIC executive secretary, said the initiative is designed to grow economic aspects of the community that are already here.

“Rather than developing an organization around reactive needs, it’s really based on some of the assets in our community and how can we help grow those organically,” explained Baike.

“How can we diversify? And what’s Campbell River going to look like in five

years, ten years, 15 years out?”

The not-for-profit organization focusses on sectors like software, animation, film, art, research and development, design, and publishing, among other things.

Made up of representatives from North Island College (NIC), the city, First Nations, and local businesses and organizations, the group is quite diverse, but with a common goal of stimulating the economy in Campbell River with new industries.

In the six months it’s been around, CRCIC concentrated on showcasing Campbell River at the Special Interest Group on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques (SIGGRAPH) conference in Vancouver during August. It also ensured some of the installations shown there were then displayed in the Museum at Campbell

River for three weeks in September.

Next up on the agenda is Introduction to West Coast Carving with Master Carver Max Chickite.

This workshop is listed as a course through NIC and runs on Oct. 15-16 from 9 a.m.-12:30 p.m. at the Nuyumbalees Cultural Centre on Quadra Island.

Chickite is a Lekwiltok First Nations’ artist, who has designed film

sets for numerous productions.

According to Baike, CRCIC has many ideas centred around bringing business to town, and one them is to attract people like Jeremy Latham to Campbell River.

Latham is a director on the CRCIC board and he designs websites for a living out of Campbell River.

He pointed out that in the Internet age it’s entirely possible for people to work

with big name clients without being in a big city. And he hopes to entice more people with creative industry related careers to Campbell River.

“It allows us to introduce Campbell River to other people like me,” said Latham.

CRCIC director Rod Naknakim, who represents three First Nations groups on the board, said that the First Nations have learned plenty already, and considers the organization very important.

“It’s helping build the relationship with the local community, particularly the business community, and it’s opening doors for us for business opportunities,” said Naknakim.

The Campbell River Art Gallery is search-ing for new artisans for its 11th Annual Christmas Market, taking place this year from Nov. 10 – Dec. 24.

It may be too early to start thinking of sugarplums and Santa Claus, but it’s not too early for artisans to apply to have their works in this glitter-ing Christmas Market.

For six weeks, the gallery’s entire exhibi-tion space will trans-form into a plethora of elegant, unique crafts and art by local artisans, including everything from jew-elry to soaps, wood-work, pottery, textiles and much more.

Pieces sell on a con-signment basis.

All displays, inven-tory control, sales and promotion are conducted by Gallery staff and volunteers in order to provide an uncomplicated, easy opportunity for artisans to sell their work. Artist demon-strations, which are an excellent way to promote an artisan’s work, are also wel-come for those who would like to demon-strate their craft. The Gallery’s portion of proceeds of sales is an important support for exhibitions, children’s and adult classes, and workshops.

Entry into the Mar-ket is juried and entry forms are available at the Gallery, which is open Tuesday to Saturday from 12 p.m. -5 p.m.

The deadline for submission is Oct. 15. Phone 250-287-2261, email [email protected] or visit www.crartgallery.ca for more information.

The Marc Atkinson Quartet will fire up the 2011-12 season of high-quality musical performances, pre-sented by Quadra Cul-tural Committee, with sizzling, Django-style, finger picking fun.

“He picks in the same kind of league as Chet Atkins,” said Loudon Wainwright, of Maverick Maga-zine about B.C.’s Marc Atkinson. Atkinson will bring his out-standing technique, his fluent and graceful style and a set of new compositions to the Quadra Community Centre on Saturday, Oct. 15 at 8 p.m.

Atkinson is a mul-tiple award-winning, world-touring, West Coast Canadian, whose guitar playing and composing has been described as “jawdropping,” “stun-ning,” “dazzling” and “flawless.” He has performed at festivals from Celtic Connec-tions in Glasgow, to the Montreal Interna-tional jazz Festival, to California WorldFest, to Tonder Festival in Denmark and

even for the Queen.His self-titled CDs have garnered much critical acclaim: Marc Atkinson Trio II was voted one of the top five albums in North America by Acoustic Guitar Magazine and Marc Atkinson Trio III was nominated in

2006 for an Outstand-ing Album Award at the Western Canadian Music Awards.

Multi-instrumen-talist, composer, arranger, and pro-ducer, Atkinson is one of Canada’s most tal-ented musicians. His catchy compositions take guitar beyond the usual repertoire and sound into a fiery but elegant musical style infused with a blend of influences from classical and jazz to rock, while main-taining the laidback humour and casual ‘good time feel’ of Canada’s West Coast.

The new Quartet includes Atkinson on acoustic guitar and mandolin; Adrian Dolan co-founder of

the Bills and tour-ing artist with such names as Ridley Bent and The Chieftains, on fiddle, accordion, viola, and piano; Joey Smith also in the Marc Atkinson Trio and formerly with the Glen Miller Orchestra on stand up bass; and Kelby MacNayr on percussion.

Jurgen Gothe from CBC’s Disc Drive includes Marc Atkin-son solidly in a top-10 list with the likes of the Rosenberg Trio and Iceland’s Guitar Islancio. Victoria News describes one of Atkinson perfor-mances: “...punching out lively tunes with technical prowess, yet still interspersed with episodes of emotion-

ally charged improv...he darts up and down the length of the fret-board, plucking out a barrage of well-timed notes with amazing dexterity.”

Tickets for the Marc Atkinson Quartet are available at the usual outlets: The Music Plant in Campbell River and on Quadra at Hummingbird Office and Art Supply and at Quadra Crafts. Advance tickets are $17. Door: $20. For more information: www.marcatkinson.com or 250-285-2580.

Campbell River LivingCampbell River Living


Southgate teacher Robynne Fraser

has witnessed many small miracles in her classroom.

She has seen first-hand a student classi-fied as selective mute, speak for the first time, children whose parents were told they would never read, do the unimaginable and autistic children learn to share.

Those and other huge feats were made possible because Fraser teaches her students how to use technology.

“Although I’m not great with technology I do really see how it benefits the kids and I think more needs to be given to them,” Fraser says. “I think the special education departments in Camp-

bell River are starting to go more towards using technology and people are really buying in because they can see how the kids have grown and developed because of technology.”

Fraser, a Skills for Life instructor, works with students from Grades 7-9 who have intellectual disabili-ties.

Her work and the progress she’s made with her students made her the grand prize winner of a Teaching and Technol-ogy Story and Sweep-stakes contest spon-sored by CDW Canada last May. Fraser, who edged out nearly 3,000 entrants from across Canada with her essay The Miracle of Technology, won $5,000 worth of tech-nology including: two laptops, a projector, a keyboard, a web-

cam, a printer, digital cameras and a pocket video camera.

“I was really excited for the kids, it was sort of like Christ-mas when everything started arriving,” Fraser says. “It’s an opportunity to use equipment we

wouldn’t otherwise get to.”

Fraser and her group of Educational Assistants, whom Fraser describes as “amazing” and credits for buying into her vision, have the kids using Smart Boards which allow the stu-

dents to manipulate objects on the screen and gets the students to engage in lessons.

The kids also use a Wii for much-needed sensory body breaks and to work on motor skill development. Fraser recalls one par-ticular joyous moment

when a student with autism realized with delight that they had, for the first time, just finished playing with a peer, instead of atyp-ical solitary play.

Cameras have also played a large role in helping many of Fraser’s students who have autism.

“A lot of the kids don’t want to look at the face because there’s so much going on and facial expres-sions are hard for them to understand,” Fraser says. “The cameras help them to understand where the face is and it helps them make eye con-tact.

“It also is a way of getting my kids to interact because they have to ask if they can take a picture plus other kids will come up to them and ask to have their picture taken. It’s a way of socializing.”

The cameras are also used in the pro-duction of yearbooks which are unique to the Skills for Life class. Each student in the class makes their own individual page using computer

programs like Power-point and Microsoft Publisher.

The students are also familiar with using walkie-talkies. Fraser says they are the perfect tool to teach the students how to share, because they have to take turns speaking.

It also helps the kids with their annuncia-tion because they have to slow down and speak clearly to get their message across.

Fraser says seeing her kids thrive and learn to do new things makes her feel like a proud parent.

“It’s just huge,” Fraser says. “It’s just so exciting to hear a kid talk for the first time, or interact with another student for the first time. It’s amazing what these kids have achieved, and it’s technology that’s allowed it to occur.

“So much of spe-cial education can be heartbreaking but when you get a kid to do something for the first time, it’s such an amazing high, you just feel like a proud par-ent.”

Witnessing the unimaginable

Back by popular demand! You’ve heard about the marvellous little creature called the mason bee, one of nature’s great pollina-tors.

Now is your chance to spend a day learn-ing about the many facets of its life and

behaviour, as well as how you can make the mason bee a part of your own world.

People of all ages are welcome to this two-part workshop at the Black Creek Com-munity Centre on Sat-urday, Oct. 1, that will begin with an intro-

duction to the bee and nesting tube creation; the afternoon portion of the workshop will focus on harvesting, cleaning and winter storage.

Instructor Al Mor-ton will be returning to teach this class.

Morning Session –

Intro to Mason Bees; 10 a.m. to noon.

You will cover such topics as:

■ the life cycle of our native mason bees and the importance of pollination

■ how, when, and where to start your

Know nature’s great pollinators

Teacher makes use of technology to fulfill kids’ needs

Al Morton will lead a mason bee workshop in Black Creek.

KRISTEN DOUGLAS/THE MIRROR

Southgate teacher Robynne Fraser has seen students in her Skills for Life class interact with each other for the first time using augmentative communication devices which allow students to press buttons and have the tools speak for them. Fraser’s use of technology in the classroom to help her students was recognized in a national contest.

GRANT WARKENTINSPECIAL TO THE MIRROR

Farming salmon on land is possible, but is currently a risky proposition only suit-

able for niche markets, salmon farmers heard this week.

Tides Canada and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation sponsored a two-day

Aquaculture Innova-tion Workshop at Paint-ers Lodge Monday and Tuesday. The workshop was attended by about 75 people, many from local salmon farming

and supply businesses. A lot of the discussions were about Recirculat-ing Aquaculture Sys-tems (RAS) technol-ogy, which Campbell River-based salmon

farming companies use to grow salmon from egg to smolt size in land-based hatch-eries before transfer-ring the fish to the ocean. The workshop featured researchers and experimenters in the aquaculture field and speakers provided insights into several closed-containment aquaculture experi-m e n t s h a p p e n i n g around the world.

Thue Holm, the CEO of Atlantic Sapphire AS, is currently work-ing on developing a facility in Denmark capable of farming 1,000 metric tonnes of salmon on land. How-ever, he offered some words of caution.

“It’s a niche prod-uct,” he said, pointing

out that a small-scale facility such as his can’t compete directly with the main farmed salmon market.

Finding a specialized market for his product, as well as selling it at premium pricing, is important, he said.

Location is also cru-cial, said Steven Sum-merfelt, director of aquaculture systems research for the Fresh-water Institute in West Virginia. Summerfelt spoke at the workshop about several projects he is involved with, including a planned land farm site in Wash-ington State which can buy electricity for only two or three cents per kilowatt -hour (BC Hydro’s business rates are closer to 9 cents per

kilowatt-hour). Summerfelt said

f a r m i n g A t l a n t i c salmon on land has potential “if you can pick sites with cheap power right next to the market.”

In order for land-based salmon farms to be profitable, he said, they have to farm fish at much higher den-sities than ocean net pens. Conventional net pen systems farm fish at a density of about 15 kilograms of fish per cubic metre at their peak size. In order for a land-based farm to be profitable, it would have to farm fish at densities close to 80 kilograms per cubic metre or even higher, he said.

However, he added, experiments are show-ing farming fish at high densities is pos-sible, under heavily controlled conditions.

Researchers and experimenters also

talked about the high costs of building land-based aquaculture facilities and the high risk to investors. Most of the projects dis-cussed depend heav-ily on research grants and have low returns

on investment.However, one project

underway in Central Canada is taking a dif-ferent approach. Daniel Stechey, with Canadian Aquaculture Systems, spoke about a project which could help hog

and horse farmers in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Because of the downturn in the hog industry and preg-nant mare urine (used in human hormone replacement therapy) industry, there are

nearly a thousand barns sitting empty, he said, so why not convert them to farm rainbow trout?

His company has retrofitted one barn to farm about 130 tonnes of trout. It works, even

in the region’s cold weather, and can make modest profits given that a farmer already has a barn structure ready to be converted.

Guests at the work-shop also had the opportunity to tour

Agrimarine’s solid-wal l containment system at Middle Bay, north of Campbell River.

T he Atmosphere Mind Over Moun-tain Adventure Race (MOMAR) celebrated the end of their twelfth season this past Satur-day in Cumberland.

Campbell River’s Steven Crerar partici-pated as a solo racer for the first time this year, with his brother’s memory at his side.

The two brothers raced the MOMAR Cumberland together four years in a row. In October of last year, 29 -year-old Bryan Crerar was killed by a drunk driver while riding his skateboard. This year, Steven decided to continue the tradition to honour both his brother and the love of the sport that his brother passed onto him.

“He [Bryan] pushed me into it just to get me out,” says Steven. “It was really fun so I kept doing it and getting a little better every year. He was my motivation. He still is but in a dif-ferent sort of fashion. It meant a lot to me to finish this year.”

When asked if he will be back to race again, Steven says, “I ’m hooked now. I can’t not do it.”

Steven crossed the finish line at 5:33:46, one of the top times of the day.

“Steven had a remark-able race but missed getting one of the checkpoints in the ori-enteering course,” says MOMAR Race Direc-tor, Bryan Tasaka. “I don’t think he realized that he missed it as he could have gone back out and found it with enough time to get back and claim a third place finish in the solo male category. We sure hope he’ll be back next year.”

Team Island Chix, Amber Zirnhelt and Wendy Ravai of Camp-bell River, placed first in the team of two, female category, completing the 50 km Enduro course in 6:58:53.

The Campbell River Pe ewe e A m i n o r hockey team got off to a promising start in Tiering Round compe-tition this weekend.

In Victoria on Satur-day they came away with an 8-5 victory against Racquet Club.

Tyler Dickson was impressive with two

goals and three assists. S e t h Pa rke r a n d Dawson Frank came away with one assist each. Ben Reiger, Will McLean, Lucas Lund, and Justin Kennelly each racked up a goal. Todd Cambell made two assists and Olivia Knowles, Nolan Fair and Doug Campbell

each made 1 assist. Despite what looked

to be some serious inju-ries in the home opener on Sunday morning, they managed a 5-1 win against the Nanaimo Clippers, a team that defeated them, 6 to 3, on their first exhibi-tion outing this sea-son. Tyler Dickson

led the scoring again with two goals and one assist. Todd Campbell scored two goals and Nolan Fair scored one goal and two assists. Damian Rennie made two assists and Lucas Lund assisted on one.

Head coach Marc Ouellette and assis-tant coach Jim Dixon

are pleased with the effort and progress the team has made imple-menting the plays they have been practicing. They are very optimis-tic that as the players learn their new roles on the team and get use to playing with each other they will continue to improve.

This past Sunday the Pee Wee Eagles trav-elled toParksville to take on the Oceanside Lions.

The Eagles lost the coin toss giving Parks-ville control of the ball to start the game. The Lions were driving and looked like they were in good position to score. However, the Eagles defense came up big and were able to stop the drive. It was now the Eagle’s turn to take the field. Lead by starting quarterback Isaac “Crash” Shillito they moved the ball downfield with some

very well executed runs up the middle and sweeps out wide. The first score of the day came on a beauti-fully run reverse by starting fullback Liam “Lights Out” Matilpi. Starting Running Back Kristian “Dash” Drake ran in the convert to put the score at Eagles 7 -0. However, on the pursuing set of downs, the Lions were able to reach the endzone on a nicely run sweep. A made convert tied the game at 7-7.

The Eagles offense once again took the field and looked very

good moving the ball down field. QB Issaac Shillito put the Eagles back in front with a well executed fake reverse. A missed con-vert put the game at 13 to 7 for the Eagles.

The Lions offense took to the field and a few plays (and a few missed tackles) later were able to punch it in for the score. A missed convert once again tied the game at 13-13.

The Eagles started the second half with the ball. Unfortunately, their of fense was unable to get things going and gave up the

ball on a fumble.The Lions were able

to come out and score putting them up 19-13.

The Eagles made a valiant effort to come back but were just unable to get a drive going on offense.

The final score ended up 19-13 for the Lions.

“I am once again very impressed by the performance of these kids today,” says head coach Kevin Meier.

The Pee Wee Eagles travel to Ladysmith this Saturday October 1st to tackle the Lady-smith Steelers. Game time is 11 a.m.
