If a tree is planted on Baikie Island, can you hear it?
On Saturday you probably could have as Pioneer Home Hardware with help from the Rotary Club and Campbell River Communities in Bloom planted several large trees there as part of National Tree Day.
The trees will undoubtedly add a huge benefit to the area and prove as a good reminder of the numerous health and environ-mental benefits trees provide including reducing noise and air pollution, preventing soil erosion and providing recreational and green spaces.
“We are committed to the com-munity and it is important for us to extend our commitment to restoring nature’s beauty,” said Gary Thulin, Dealer-Owner, Pioneer Home Hardware Building Centre in Campbell River.
“National Tree Day is an important initiative that allows us to thank our customers for their loyal support while improving the local environment.”
This year marks the third annual National Tree Day.

By Sian Thomson
Campbell River Courier-Islander
It’s a small world, and that is demonstrated by Powell River’s Gerri Graber whose efforts have made a huge dif-ference in the lives of many women and orphans in Africa.
Her compelling story has been documented by an Island director, Jan Padgett, who will be coming to Campbell River to introduce the film on Oct. 25 when the film will be shown at the NIC/Timberline Theatre with participation of local drummers, students, and the Grandmothers to Grandmothers group of Campbell River. The direc-tor will be in attendance to answer questions about the film, which highlights how people live with AIDS with dignity and justice.
Admission is by donation and there will be a reception ahead of time, at 7 p.m., with refreshments, music, and a Kazuri jewelry marketplace. Kazuri jewellery is beauti-ful, colourful and hand-made in Nairobi, Kenya. The fair trade workshop employs over 300 marginalized African women who are paid higher than average wages and enjoy excellent working conditions. It is only available a few times a year.
Now in their sixth year, the Campbell River Grandmothers to Grandmothers (G2G) group has raised more than $40,000 for the Stephen Lewis Foundations Grandmothers Campaign.
This is a grass-roots campaign, where the grand-mothers (and, admittedly, some “grand others”, those without grandchildren yet) support African grandmothers who are raising children orphaned by AIDS. In some African countries, 40 to 60% of orphans live in grand-
mother-headed households.There is a core group of
about 25 women who are very involved with the group and another 70 who help at par-ticular events.
All money raised is donated to the Stephen Lewis Foundation’s Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign, which funds grass roots initia-tives and community-level programs that support African grandmothers.
“We help them pay for school fees, school uniforms, even hygiene supplies for the girls, medicine, hous-ing, counselling and support groups, home visits, expenses many of these grandmothers cannot meet,” said Vicki Simmons, Publicity Coordinator for G2G. “I think that mothers and grandmothers are particularly moved by the plight of the African grandmothers and their orphaned grandchildren due to the close bond they
have with their own children and grandkids. Of course, we have many “grand-others” that assist when needed, often husbands and partners.”
The group holds several fund raisers throughout the year, the most notable is the potluck put on for annual Grandmothers Cycle Tour from Campbell River to Victoria. The local group has provided the cyclists with a potluck the evening before they begin their ride. The Vancouver Island cycling event has raised more than $200,000 in the past five years for this cause.
The Stephen Lewis Foundation currently provides funding for over 300 com-
munity projects in 15 Sub-Saharan African countries. Canadian grandmothers coast to coast have contributed more than 13.5 million dol-lars to this campaign in only six years. ($1.00 for every AIDS orphan in Africa.)
The group currently has no website or facebook profile. If anyone would like to vol-unteer their time and exper-tise to help these grandmas, please contact Vicki Simmons at 250-286-3374. If you would like to join the group, they hold meetings on the first Thursday of the month at 7:15 pm at the United Church Hall on Birch [email protected]
G2G continue to make a difference

Two hikers rescued from a snowy ridge near a Vancouver Island moun-tain Wednesday say they’ve learned a valuable lesson.
Jean-Simon Lessard, 22, and Christopher Yao, 31, were found in good condition after four days stranded in frigid conditions at the 1,500-metre level near Moat Lake, three to four kilometres from Mount Albert Edward, which is where the men had intended to go.
When they started out on Saturday, conditions were tough, said Lessard, an air force corporal who works at CFB Esquimalt as an electrical distribution technician. The pair admit they should have paid closer attention to bad-weather warnings.
“It was not the most decent weather … Yes, we did make a mis-take,” Lessard said.
“The weather was just moving so quickly — that really kind of threw us for a loop,” said Yao, a University
of Victoria master’s student in kin-esiology.
Yao said he would do the hike again, “weather permitting — that’s the big lesson.”
Search efforts, involving Comox Search and Rescue and 19 Wing Comox, began Monday when Yao failed to turn up at UVic and Lessard wasn’t at work.
Early in the search, a vehicle belonging to one of the men was found in the Mount Washington parking lot. Inside the vehicle was a map book with a pencilled line showing a route from the car to Circlet Lake campsite, estimated to be anywhere from a two- to four-hour hike. From there the line continued from Circlet Lake to the summit.
The hikers realized Saturday night that they had lost their way and were heading to the wrong mountain, Lessard said. “At this point, the weather was getting worse
and worse.”The weather also made it dif-
ficult for search and rescue crews. Snow was up to waist deep as up to 30 searchers covered the area, said 19 Wing Comox spokesman Capt. Trevor Reid.
“Fog and cloud was really cling-ing to the mountains,” Reid said. “It was posing challenges for the air search and they were also doing some transporting of ground search-and-rescue members.”
Meanwhile, the hikers realized they were not visible to the search-ers.
“We were down a cliff in a clear spot, but not enough for them to see us,” Lessard said.
He said he and Yao decided to get to a higher spot so they could be seen. “Before we ran out of food and energy, we decided [Wednesday] to climb up and went up the cliff. It was a very clear spot.”
Yao described the effort as “our last push to be found.” He said there was food for just two more days, including trail mix and a can of tuna. The overnight temperatures, Yao said, had been hard to take. “Freezing’s an understatement.”
Master Cpl. Samuel Chenelle-
Pepin of the Cormorant helicopter rescue crew said the hikers heard the helicopter circling on Tuesday. On Wednesday, they heard the sound of ground-search crews blowing their whistles and knew help was near.
About 9 a.m. Wednesday, the air search spotted a fresh set of tracks near Moat Lake. The crew saw the hikers waving frantically, picked them up just after 10 a.m. and took them to CFB Comox.
Lessard said it was a huge relief to see the Cormorant helicopter. “I’ve never been so happy in my life,” he said.
Describing the moment, Yao said the word that came to mind was “elated. I was super happy to be safe and sound and in good hands.”
Yao thanked everyone involved in the search and subsequent rescue.
“A lot of effort was put in on their end to try to find us.”
Yao’s brother and mother trav-elled from Ontario and arrived at the searchers’ marshalling site just as word came that the two were safe, said Paul Berry of Comox Search and Rescue.
“I can’t imagine what it would have been like travelling on a plane from Ontario, thinking the worst and hoping for the best and to arrive in the company of the RCMP and then to hear the best news. It was very emotional for them.”
It is always a great feeling when a rescue ends well, Berry said.
He pointed out that the men’s hike began during harsh weather.
“After their initial choice to go out in those conditions, which wasn’ta good decision, they did make good decisions after that point when they realized that they were lost … They hunkered down and stayed put.”

Campbell River Fire Department reminds residents to prevent kitchen fires
As we enter the fall season, the Campbell River Fire Department reminds everyone that Fire Prevention Week 2013 will take place October 6-12 – and urges local cit-izens to prevent kitchen fires.
According to the latest National Fire Protection Association research, cooking is the leading cause of home fires. Two of every five home fires begin in the kitchen, more than any other place in the home. Cooking fires are also the leading cause of home fire-related injuries such as burns. Because of this alarming statistic, “Prevent Kitchen Fires” is the theme for Fire Prevention Week 2013.
“As in years past, members of the Fire Department will visit all Campbell River elementary schools to deliv-er life-saving fire safety messages to Grade 3 students using our Fire Safety House,” says Fire Chief Ian Baikie. “Each year, approximately 450 Grade 3 students receive education on fire safety when the firefighters bring the Fire Safety House to their class and teach them how to prevent fires from occurring in the home. They also learn what to do in the event of a fire and how to safely exit the home should a fire occur. This year the firefighters will emphasize kitchen safety using the Fire Safety House’s built in kitchen for an interactive learning experience.”
Highlights of kitchen safety tips:· Stay in the kitchen when you are frying, grilling,
broiling, or boiling food.·If you must leave the room, even for a short period of
time, turn off the stove.· When you are simmering, baking, or roasting food,
check it regularly, stay in the home, and use a timer to remind you when the cooking time is done.

The three-year-old boy died in hospital after collapsing at his home at the Panoramic Towers on Dogwood Street.
Described by family friend Krisandra Rufus
as “the most caring, shy, polite and quiet little boy who loved everyone”, he was the son of Joe Jacobson and Lillian Walkus.
Regional coroner Matt Brown said the boy lost consciousness on Sunday evening and was rushed to hospital but could not be revived.
Brown has not released a cause of death.The coroner’s office and RCMP continue to
investigate. A Facebook page has been opened for people to confirm their attendance.

The Campbell River Hospice Society continues to search for a home of their own and in doing so, is asking for your vote.
“We have submitted our idea to the Aviva Community Fund, a Canada-wide Insurance run website,” said Iona Wharton, Director, Programs and Services. “They give away $1 million
every year to groups who need fund-ing and the winners are picked by public voting. We are up for the lar-gest amount of $100,000 to $150,000 which could help greatly with a new home.”
The Campbell River Hospice Society has served Campbell River for 27 years. Their mandate is to provide compassionate support and companionship to people with life threatening illnesses and to support their family and friends as they deal
with the grief of losing a loved one due to death.
“This year, our society was given notice by our landlord and we need to vacate our current premises by the end of 2013,” said Wharton. “Although this left us momentarily feeling at a loss for what to do next, it did not take staff and our board long to realize that this may just be the opportunity to launch us on our dream of having a Hospice House that could support our community and the north
Island.” Hospice care in the home does
not work for everyone with a ter-minal illness. Some patients have no home. Some patients have no family member or person to care for them in their final days. For some patients, the caregiver(s) have to go to work or have other obligations. Many patients do not have extended family nearby with the time or resources to give as a caregiver. For many older patients, the caregiver is often a frail,
elderly spouse, who is unable to provide the demanding twenty-four hour care that the patient needs. Some patients coming from the hospital have symptoms that cannot be controlled or med-ical conditions too difficult or com-plicated to man-age in the home. Other patients and caregivers do well with “in home” hospice for a per-iod of time, but then the condition changes, and they need active inter-vention around the clock that cannot be accomplished in the home. The term for this aspect
of medical care that deals with symp-tom control and relief of suffering is “palliative care.”
For patients whose terminal care cannot be accomplished at home, the alternatives are the hospital or the nursing home. While hospitals and nursing homes may be good places to recover and get well, they may not be the right places for palliative, end-of-life care and death. There is frequent-ly a tension between the “curing” model of the hospital and the “caring” model of the hospice. In many ways, hospitals and nursing homes are not well designed or arranged for patients, their families, and their friends need-ing hospice care.
For these reasons, dedicated resi-dential hospice facilities have evolved.
“As the last stop for Hospice care on Vancouver Island and with no designated palliative care beds within our hospital, our community now needs end-of-life care and support close to home for all members of our community,” said Wharton. “ The Campbell River Hospice Society is a non-profit organization.
“We have two grief counsellors (one paid/one volunteer); two paid employees; seven volunteer board members; and over 50 active volun-teers.
“With no core funding, all our services, and operating costs are provided through grants, fundraising, donations and membership.”
In 2012, Hospice assisted 1,516 people within our community, a num-ber that has steadily increased over the years.

Hospice continues to work towards a new home
The quiet summer came to an end in a big way for Campbell River Search and Rescue.
They have been called to action three times in the last 10 days. They were involved in two big news-making operations at Mt, Arrowsmith and Mt. Albert Edward, and as well had their own search on Hanson Island, at the North end of Johnstone Strait Thursday morning
A young archaeologist had failed to return to camp Wednesday night after becoming separ-ated from the group. His woods training saved him from becoming utterly lost and wandering in circles. The worker was able to follow a compass bearing that led him to the island coastline not far from camp.
Just as searchers arrived by helicopter, the lost person was picked up by a co-worker in a boat and returned to camp.
“We never get upset about being called in to a search, only to find that the lost person has showed up on their own,” said search manager Alex Michaels. “We always encourage people to call 911 to activate search and rescue at the first opportunity, because of the possibility that the overdue person could become injured or hypothermic and need medical help as soon as possible.”
Meanwhile, the big search for the two missing
men on Mt. Albert Edward also involved several Campbell River members who covered many kilometres of trail and bush in snow, rain and darkness.
“There is a whole community of search and rescue groups throughout Vancouver Island who will come out and bolster any group requiring help from trained volunteers,” said Tim Fairbank, one of the searchers. “After a few years you get to know the regulars and learn to work with them just as effectively as working with our own team-mates. We swap stories and compare our groups’ strengths and weak-nesses, and learn from each other”.
The search on Mt Washington was a large undertaking with civilian and military resources and involved a large number of SAR volunteers from all over the island, much like the earlier search on Mt. Arrowsmith it involved a large num-ber of Volunteer search-ers who dedicate their
time to go and look for people who get lost or injured.
The long searches stretch their resources. They all have day jobs and lives to lead so the time away from work and family can take its toll.
Search and rescue officials encourage people to plan ahead on multi-day hiking trips, look at the weather for every day, if a storm is predicted to move in it may be best to plan another route out of weather or wait for better weather. Weather and mis-reading the terrain are the biggest rea-sons people get lost, they say.

Keeping Your Pet Safe in Cold Wet Weather
Just because your dog or cat has a fur coat doesn’t mean that he can withstand winter cold any better than you. So if you’re feeling the cold, your pet will be too. Unless of course your dog is a Husky, and able to tolerate colder tempera-tures, you will want to watch for tell tale signs that your pet has had enough of the great outdoors. Whining, shivering, appearing anxious, slowing down, stopping or looking for a place to burrow are all good indicators that it is time to go home and warm up.
Fortunately, we have milder winters here on the island and frostbite is not much of a factor, but you may still want to consider putting a coat on your friend especially if he gets haircuts, and has a short coat. We offer a great selection of coats and sweaters and fall/winter wear to help your pet stay warm, as well as light-refl ective gear that will make you and your dog more visible to drivers on those dark rainy nights.

Why would I need a hearing test if I don’t notice a
hearing loss?
As with other health issues, it is important to identify hearing loss early. Hearing loss tends to occur gradually and many people don’t realize a problem is developing. It is often apparent to others before obvious to the individual.Early diagnosis of hearing loss means more effective treatment, reduced risk of auditory deprivation and better communication ability. A hearing test is painless and quick. It should be an annual part of ongoing health care such as dental check ups and other routine evaluations. Make an appointment with us today for your complimentary hearing test.

Campbell River Search and Rescue is looking for a few good men and women to join the group.
They are offering a limited intake of applicants this fall for new mem-bership in thier group. They are offering an opportunity to commun-ity minded individuals who want to volunteer and learn new skills and experience the exciting world of Search & Rescue on Vancouver Island and all over BC.
Applicants must be 19 years or older, submit to a criminal record check, submit to a driver’s record check, take a first aid course, attend an orientation meeting and personal interview and if chosen they will participate in the Justice Institute of BC Ground SAR education program which is roughly 80 hours of field and classroom education
Once they pass the course they can expect to join the group and partici-pate in SAR calls that could involve rope rescue, water rescue, first aid and medical evacuations from wilder-ness environments, hiking, alpine rescue among other exciting oppor-tunities to help your fellow man.
Locally SAR is a very busy group. In the last five years of calls they have averaged to be the 11th busiest group in BC. They have a very large area and it requires a lot of equipment and personnel to manage the oper-ational area.
They will be running an orienta-tion session Oct. 10 to let people know what they are getting into before they select people for the per-sonal interview stage in preparation of the spring GSAR course.
Quiet time ends for Search and RescueS and R looking for recruits
By Les LeyneAny number of people are lobby-
ing the provincial government’s liquor policy review with ideas to liberalize B.C.’s liquor laws.
The politician conducting it — Liberal MLA John Yap — is getting peppered with ideas such as allowing drinking on beaches, happy hours, price cuts and looser restrictions.
But the temperance movement, as represented by various medical experts, is also making a play.
The Vancouver Coastal Health Authority pleaded this week for higher prices, stricter warnings and a continued moratorium on private liquor store expansion.
The health authority grudgingly conceded there are some arcane and unnecessary rules that could be changed. But it stressed that policy changes must decrease the harm from alcohol, not increase it.
It presented some startling num-bers to back up the perceived need for continued vigilance over booze.
Hospital emergency departments are the ideal place to monitor emer-ging trends in alcohol use, the author-ity said. A great proportion of trauma is found in emergency departments where alcohol and other drugs are a
major risk factor for injury.A health-surveillance system at
four Metro Vancouver emergency departments shows a marked increase in intoxication/overdoses over the past few years.
“Compared to 2008, the number of ER visits due to alcohol/overdoses in 2012 increased 81 per cent in men and 75 per cent in women,” the authority said. “We see a serious and worsening impact on youth and young adults.”
The authority said there were 886 visits for acute alcohol intoxication in 2006-7 and 1,646 in 2011-12.
“That is a 100 per cent increase in five years, while overall emergency department visits have increased only 20 per cent over the same time.”
It also challenged common assumptions, by estimating that binge-drinking young people are more of a problem for hospitals than chronic alcoholics.
About 2,500 of St. Paul’s Hospital’s 72,000 patient-visits a year are acute intoxication, and most of them are young weekend drinkers.
More than a quarter of the top 100 most frequent visitors had an alcohol-related diagnosis.
But the brief said: “Compared to
the youthful, binge-drinking popula-tion, these seemingly recalcitrant alcoholics are probably less of a burden.”
The chronics visit more frequently, but the younger population is four or five times more likely to visit the emergency department.
Some selected anecdotes also brought the message home.
Vancouver trauma surgeon Dr. David Evans wrote that the negative impact of alcohol is “brutally evi-dent” day after day.
He said that in August, out of 30 major admissions for serious injuries, between eight and 10 were alcohol-related. Three young people — aged 17, 19 and 22 — fell from heights while intoxicated. One was seriously injured and one died.
The health authority recommends continuing the moratorium on pri-vate liquor store expansion, indexing liquor prices to cost of living increas-es and putting more health warnings on labels.
Island Health took the same tack in its brief to Yap last month.
Chief medical health officer Dr. Richard Stanwick argued for indexed pricing and also pricing by alcohol content, an idea long advocated by
the University of Victoria’s addiction-research centre.
He also urged the government to consider raising the drinking age to 21, or at least maintaining it at 19. Stanwick suggested that spending on social-responsibility advertising should equal or exceed spending on product promotion. That would involve a huge increase in “drink responsibly” messages, all of it fund-ed by alcohol-derived revenues.
The two health authorities’ views contrast with other submissions urging relaxation of many restrictions in B.C.’s liquor policy.
Yap’s job is to “modernize” the volumes of rules and regulations. Many people take modernize to mean rationalize and reduce, which would amount to liberalizing. Making social drinking more convenient is often cited as a reason, but there’s also a straight economic driver. The same day the Vancouver health authority was citing its concerns, the restaurant industry told the review that its busi-ness is a $10-billion-a-year part of the economy, employing 170,000 people.
Balancing social drinkers against problem drinkers is always the prob-lem. Tinkering with that balance is going to take a fine touch.
Our View
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

“For Everything there is a Season”, and the Administration, Volunteers and Board Members of our Food Bank are overwhelmed by the abundance of food we are able to distribute and share with the people in our community who need help. It has indeed been a season of plenty, and we would like to thank our community for their faithful donations.
A special thank you is also in order for the stores who give the “Bank” items. These stores are Costco, Discovery Foods, London Drugs Quality Foods, Save-On-Foods, Shoppers Drugmart, Super Store, Target,
Thriftys and Walmart. You all keep us well supplied and add the ‘treat and sweet’ com-ponent to our grocery bags as well as nour-ishing food stuffs. Your generosity is much appreciated.
Because of this season of plenty and the growing number of needful clients, we wel-come volunteers to help in specific ways on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays to fill gro-cery bags and boxes, sort donations of food, and stock shelves. Hours can be flexible.
Dianne Patterson, Volunteer and Board Member of the C.R. Food Bank
It is something that is hard to understand. How can intelligent people roll the dice with their life on the line. And then put others at risk as well. In this case it was the two young men who decided to hike into Mount Edward Albert despite warnings of severe weather approaching.
One, an electrical distribution technician and a Corporal in the armed forces and the other a University of Victoria master’s student in kinesiology, were rescued after five days.
Untold hours were spent by professional and volunteer search and rescue people. And in all those hours, they too were at risk.
The two said they thought they could beat the weather system and get in and get out before it hit. Famous last words. Lucky for them, they weren’t.
They aren’t the only intelligent people who have made such a bad choice. And they won’t be the last.
It just begs the big question, “Why?”If they don’t value their own life and safety then they
should pause and think of the men and women who are going to be put in harm’s way attempting to rescue them.
So let’s take this scenario a step further. Our search and rescue people on the west coast are world renowned for their expertise. They have a reputation for getting things done and people rescued in the worst of locations and weather. So what if they didn’t exist?
Did the fact that ‘someone’ would come and get them if things went badly affect their decision. More import-antly, would they have headed out into that terrain, in those weather conditions, if they knew no one would be coming to the rescue? We think not.
Intelligence only goes so far
Tinkering with laws will be a touchy one

Tyee Spit in Campbell River is very lucky to have a man
by the name of Larry and his beautiful dog Jessie. Every day Larry walks his dog down at the Spit and at the same time he picks up garbage that has been left behind by inconsiderate people. The Spit has plenty of garbage cans but some people are just pigs. Can you believe he has even had to pick up baby diapers? Campbell River needs more people like Larry and his dog who take pride in their com-munity. Thank you

September is Arthritis Awareness month and we were fortunate here in Campbell River to be able to host not one but two information ses-sions on “Living Well with Arthritis”. Arthritis affects many people either directly or indirectly, so all the informa-tion we can learn and share, will help us in ways to self manage this chronic condition. Many people were involved to make this happen, so we would like to thank you all with roses, including Shoppers Drug Mart, London Drugs and Quality Foods. Cheers to all those who forewent the beauti-ful day outside to attend.

Coordinators of the Campbell River segment of the BC Thanksgiving Food Drive are pleased to announce that nearly 9,000 pounds of food were collected in one Saturday, and donated to the local food bank. Seventy four volunteers were involved in the project, which included dropping off bags (provided by Quality Foods) and flyers (provided by Sure Copy) during the week, and then picking up and loading the donations on Saturday. This year, over2,500 homes were visited. The project was started in 2011, and has steadily grown — organ-izers are looking forward to even bigger numbers in 2014.
THANKS CAMPBELL RIVER!
The B.C. government has received a two-week extension to finalize the purchase of a new park on Quadra Island, after it failed to meet the deadline to close the deal this week.
Portland-based forest company Merrill & Ring said it has given the province until Oct. 18 to satisfy an outstanding condition on its bid to buy 395 hectares of waterfront land near the Octopus Islands and Small Inlet provincial parks.
“We’re down to one issue that is being very diligently worked on,” said vice-president Norm Schaaf. “We have good confidence in
their ability to get that done.”The deadline had been set for Monday.Schaaf would not disclose the remaining
condition that the government is working to satisfy. The deal is worth “slightly less” than $6 million, he has said.
The Ministry of Environment declined to comment Tuesday.
The government and Merrill & Ring had a conditional agreement on the land in 2012 but the government missed a series of deadlines to satisfy conditions.

Additional traffi c pattern changes at Campbell River Hospital entranceSite work to prepare for the new $266 million, 95-bed Campbell River Hospital will lead to some traffi c disruption around the existing Campbell River Hospital main entrance on 2nd Avenue October 10th and 11th, weather permitting.Please see attached image.On Thursday October 10th, the lane between the east and west parking lots will be closed. During this time, traffi c control workers will help motorists enter and exit both parking lots.On Friday October 11th, the lane and the west parking lot will be closed to allow paving of a new Ambulance Access Route around the Sunshine Wellness Centre. Traffi c control workers will help motorists enter and exit the east parking lot.This work may lead to brief delays entering and exiting the main entrance parking lot. Please take this into account and allow additional time for your hospital visit.We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and we thank you in advance for your cooperation and understanding.Please remember that two new hospital parking lots are now open, offering 140 new parking stalls, off 2nd Avenue just west of Yucalta Lodge, near the Dogwood Street intersection.The new temporary Ambulance Access Route is required because construction of the new hospital next year will block the present ambulance route to and from the present Emergency entrance.Please watch for additional temporary traffi c changes in the weeks to come.

Led by world-renowned carver Bill Henderson, a galaxy of artists, both aboriginal and non-aborig-inal, are lending their skills to this year’s Art of the Paddle.
Scheduled for Oct. 26, the event will take place in Campbell River’s Maritime Heritage Building and will feature a silent auction and a regular auction.
This is the third Art of the
Paddle evening with the event being a major fund raiser for the Campbell River Hospice Society as well as the BraveHearts Dragon Boat team which co-hosts and organizes the entire gala occasion.
Paddles which have been made from solid blocks of wood by local aboriginal carvers are then passed on to local artists who decorate them before the paddles
are auctioned off. Led by their patriach, several other members of the Henderson family will be displaying their artistic skills, together with other artists from the Campbell River area.
The finished products are one-of-a-kind works of art. Prior to the event, the paddles will be on display at the business premises of their local sponsors and for the 10
days prior to Oct. 26, all of them will be on show in the Royal Bank of Canada building on Shopper’s Row, Campbell River.
Those attending this year’s event will be privileged to witness the amazing skills of local artisans as well as supporting the very worthy cause of helping to bring a Hospice facility to Campbell River to serve the future needs of resi-
dents of this community and the surrounding area.
Tickets are now on sale at $20 each and can be obtained either from the Hospice office at 104-301 Dogwood (next door to the Curling Rink), at the Royal Bank or by contacting the Campbell River Hospice Society at 250-286-1121; email [email protected].

This October, members of Campbell River’s Fire Rescue crews will swap their navy blue uniforms for something a little more colour-ful.
Throughout October, members of the Fire Department will wear pink T-shirts while on duty to show their support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the fight for a cure.
Fire fighters exposed to carcino-gens and other chemicals while on the job are disproportionately diag-nosed with breast cancer – just one of many cancers linked to the work fire fighters do.
“Our members are highly motiv-ated to support the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation to raise aware-ness for breast cancer research and to join the fight for a cure,” says Stu Dumont, fire fighter and president of IAFF Local 1668, the Campbell River Local of the International Association of Fire Fighters.
“Few sights grab the public’s eye
like a fire fighter dressed in bright pink, so all across the United States and Canada, IAFF members are suiting up in pink to raise awareness and fight breast cancer—just one of the many ways fire fighters show support for the fight against breast cancer,” adds Deputy Fire Chief Thomas Doherty.
“Breast cancer is a complex dis-ease. With one in eight women diag-nosed each year in North America, an estimated 232,340 new cases of breast cancer and 39,620 deaths will be reported in 2013. Among all women affected, 85 percent have no family history,” Doherty says.
“Your Campbell River fire fighters encourage everyone in the community to participate in breast cancer awareness and prevention activities,” Dumont adds.
For more information, please contact Campbell River Fire Rescue at 250-286-6266 or visit the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation website: http://www.cbcf.org/bc

Fall is an interesting time for gardeners. It’s both a time for looking back at the recently passed gardening season and a time of looking forward to next year’s possibilities.
No plantings speak to this feeling better than planting spring blooming bulbs. After all, once you tuck them into the soil in October, smooth the soil back over them, there is no sign of the promise to come.
The garden sleeps through the winter and when spring arrives little sprouts begin to push their way out of the earth bursting into glorious colourful blooms that announce, “Spring is here!”
Gardeners are optimists by nature. We plan, we plant, we hope, we care for and we watch in won-der as seeds become food, saplings become majestic shade trees and tiny bulbs become burst of spring colour that brighten our day. New and Interesting Bulbs for Spring 2014
Allium Double Bubble – Like liv-ing garden ornaments the spherical purple blooms of Allium are great attentions grabbers and our Allium Double Bubble Mix is sure to grab attention. This combination offers a mix-ture of purple and white 36 inch tall flowers that bloom in late spring and early summer.
Crocus Orange Monarch – This sweet little snow crocus is just the colour of a Monarch Butterfly making these wee gems delightfully different and unique. Plant them on their own, with other crocuses or combine with other complimentary colours such as purple, orange or sparkly white spring blooming bulbs.
Hyacinth Marie - A lovely new Hyacinth that offers rich deep purple blooms with that lovely hyacinth scent. Be sure to plant these close to your door or walkway where you can enjoy the rich colour and fragrance.
Narcissus Bantam – Narcissus Bantam has sunny yellow, round petals, with a shal-
low bright orange-red rimmed cup making it a cheery golden yellow twist on the classic Narcissus form.
Narcissus Double Poeticus – It is wonder-ful to have this very old narcissus strain avail-able this season as it dates all the way back to 1861. Narcissus Double Poeticus is a double version of very fragrant Narcissus Poeticus with approximately 15 petals of soft white.
Tulip Cartouche – Double peony shaped tulip flowers of bright white are edged with
cherry-red veining that streaks slowly towards the centre of the flower as the days go by. This colour change is amazing in tulips. Last year I planted a tulip called Sundowner that also deepened in colour as the days went by and every day I was grabbing my camera because I thought, no today it is the most beautiful!
Tulip La Belle Epoque – This is my favourite new bulb this year! The antique buff to coppery-pink petals form double peony shaped flowers on compact 12 inch tall stems. I haven’t decided what to combine it with yet; I always like double peony shaped tulips with
lily shaped tulips so maybe Tulip Tres Chic (white) or Tulip Lasting Love (crimson with light edges).
Tulip Night Rider – One of the first things I learned in art classes was that opposite col-ours on the colour wheel always look good together so it is no surprise that this tulip, which is purple and green, is so gorgeous. Rosy-purple petals with green flames are not for the faint of heart. This tulip is going to draw attention so if you like making a state-ment this might just be the tulip for you.
Tulip Super Parrot – Very ruffled and feathered green and white petals are sure to make
Tulip Super Parrot a drama queen in the garden and as a cut flower.

It’s action time at the Campbellton Neighbourhood Association offi ce. Members have spent the past 12
months looking at development concerns facing the community. The group are now pushing forward with the Stage One plan which focuses on Traffi c and Pedestrian issues. The plan has been shown, through participation in community meetings, to be in the forefront of Campbellton residents’
concerns. The CNA members will present their recommendations to City Council in early October.
The CNA group have identifi ed several key intersections which pose a risk to both pedestrians and motorists. On the top of the list is the intersection of Highway 19 and Peterson Road. The present combination of a cross-walk and turn lanes at the intersection have created a major hazard. CNA’s proposal
to council will include options such as traffi c lights, four-way stops, crosswalk fl ashing lights and a no left-turn in any direction.
The other major intersections in Plan One include 16th and Walmart, 14th and Peterson and 14th and Spruce. Similar options will be proposed for those areas as well. It is expected that council will consider the CNA plan for its 2014 budget.

Archaeological evidence indicates wine was being made by Neolithic peoples in what we now call Turkey and Shulaveri — the former Soviet republic, Georgia — more than 8,000 years ago. Vines have been growing grapes and we have been turning them into wine for a very long time.
Moving from hunting and gathering into early farming communities, early men and women undoubtedly began to cultivate the Vitis Vinifera varieties that they’d found growing wild in the forests of prehistoric Eurasia. With more than 60 different varieties to choose from, early vineyards were undoubtedly a mix of differ-ent grape varieties.
It is difficult to discover what kinds of grapes go into the California wine that was known as “Franciscan Burgundy” until very recently. Renamed thanks to global General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (G.A.T.T.) regu-lations and an effort at injecting more truth into their labelling practices, Franciscan California Red (241778) $6.99 is a remark-ably fruity light red, a lip-smacking mouthful of cheerful cherry and boisterous berry flavours.
French, Italian, German and Spanish wines were traditionally known by the region they were grown in, not the kind of grapes that went into making them. Modern oenological sci-ence managed to sort it all out in the 1960s and 1970’s and we moved into more than 20 years of winemakers directing their growers to plant specific individual varieties – like Cabernet Sauvignon or Chardonnay.
Those savvy California winemakers led the movement, the Australians followed, and pretty soon all “New World” wines – from New Zealand, South Africa, and North and South America - and even many “Old World” wines! – were known by the variety of wine grapes that went into making them.
Varietal integrity doesn’t have a lot to do with Big House Red (413013) $11.49. It is a very inventive blend of Petite Sirah, Syrah, Montepulciano, Barbera, Nero d’Avola, Tempranillo, Malbec, Aglianico, Charbono, Touriga, Tannat, Cabernet Franc, Sagarantino and Grenache. Remarkable complexity just kind of arises naturally from such a polyglot California red.
Stark Raving Red (96115) $14.98 is a medium bodied California blend of 34 per cent Tannat, 28 per cent Zinfandel, 18 per cent Merlot, 10 per cent Cabernet Sauvignon, 4 per cent Petit Sirah, 6 per cent of who knows what
else... This is all about easy drinkability!By far the most successful California blend
in recent years Apothic Red (125617) $15.99 is a blend of Syrah, Zinfandel, and Merlot. Sweet ripe raspberry, chocolate, maraschino cherry, cranberry and boysenberry flavours cooperate rather that compete in this smooth, full-bodied red blend.
Mysteriously secretive about its components (…but very likely to have Merlot as the pri-mary grape) Curious Beasts Blood Red Wine (816553) $19.95 is not for the faint of heart -
“dark as night, rich as sin, and scary good”. As well as being more than just a little on the zinfully sweeter side of “dry” the packaging is out-standingly eye-catching. What more could that twenty-something new wine lover possibly want?
Rocker Dave Mathhews’ approachable The Dreaming Tree - Crush (239384) $19.99 is a blend of 67 per cent Merlot and 33 per cent Zinfandel assembled from grapes grown in the Sonoma County regions of California’s North Coast. The individual varietal wines were aged
separately in oak for 19 months before blending. All the plum, prune and black cherry aromas and flavours compete to sizzle above a sprink-ling of peppery tannins.
Tribunal (170951) $19.99 from Sonoma County, with 15 months of carefully judicious oak treatment, mixes 32 per cent Syrah, 28 per cent Zinfandel, 13 per cent Petite Sirah, 9 per cent Sangiovese, 7 per cent Grenache, 5 per-cent Barbera, 3 per cent Cab Franc, 2 per cent Primitivo, and 1 per cent Merlot. The result has black raspberry, cassis, molasses and liquor-ice flavours layered seamlessly over an earthy under-structure with an almost “meaty” leathery edge.
It would be hard to get much more “New Age” than Organic Wine Works “A’ Nôtre Terre” (86603) $19.99. Despite the French name (“To Our Earth”) and its admittedly Rhone-ish aspirations, this California red blend features untypical Merlot with traditionally French Syrah, Grenache and Carignane - certifi-ably Sulphite-Free, 100 per cent Organic and 100 per cent Vegan, this lip-smacking red is a marvellous medium bodied mouthful of black berry and red currant fruit.
So the pendulum of wine fashion has most definitely started to swing back to blends rather than single varietal wines. And California once again leads the trend. Ain’t we all just too Neolithic? Reach WineWise by emailing [email protected]

Colin James is coming to Campbell River.
Regina born Colin James has come a long way since his self-titled debut album in 1988. Since that time he has amassed numerous awards and a string of instantly identifiable hits which has propelled James to the “icon” status category in Canada.
Songs like “Man’s Gotta be a Stone”, “Lets Shout”, “Into the Mystic”, “Lost Again”, “Voodoo Thing”, “Keep on Loving me Baby” and many more have helped James secure a following of fans in North America that would be the envy of many an artist.
He has won six coveted Juno awards, 18 Maple Blues Awards including Entertainer of the Year for 2012, and several of his albums have reached gold and platinum status.
His newest CD is “Twenty-Five Live” recorded on the last of a three night sold out stand at the
Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver. James spans so many musical genres from blues to rock, R and B to Swing.
This November, James will conclude his Western Canadian Tour with a number of gigs on Vancouver Island including the Tidemark Theatre in Campbell River on Friday, Nov. 15 at 7:30 p.m. For fans, this is a special tour. It is an Up Close and Personal Acoustic Tour with James performing his hits and blues standards in an intim-ate acoustic setting featuring great guitar chops and great vocals. He is joined by special guest and master guitarist Chris Caddell. Tickets for this Gee Dan Productions concert are available through the Tidemark Theatre Box Office at 1220 Shoppers Row, Campbell River, online at www.tidemarktheatre.com or by phone to 250-287-7465 or toll free 1-800-994-0555.

Question: Do you plan on selling your business to someone outside your family?
If you plan on selling your business to someone outside your family, there are several strategies available to minimize tax from the sale – many of which allow you to claim the cap-ital gains exemption to reduce taxes.
Last edition of this column we discussed selling shares versus assets. This edition we discuss other strategies to help minimize tax on the sale of your business. Here are just a few:
Make a charitable gift. Consider using some of the sale proceeds to make a charitable gift either directly to a registered charity or to your own charitable foundation in the year of sale. The donation tax credits can help reduce the tax on the capital gain from the sale of the business. Ask us for more information on set-ting up your own charitable family foundation.
Establish an estate freeze. If the sale is not imminent and you expect the value of the business to increase, then consider reorgan-izing the company (e.g. estate freeze) so that some or all of the future capital gain can accrue to other family member share-holders. This can have the effect of multiplying the use of the capital gain exemption if the shares qualify. However, keep in mind that the future capital gain allocated to the family mem-bers would no longer belong to you.
Pay yourself a retiring allowance. Another strategy to con-sider before selling your company is paying yourself a retiring allowance. If you had years of service prior to 1996, then all or a portion of the retiring allowance can be transferred to your Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RSP) on a tax-deferred basis without affecting your unused RSP deduction limit. However, if it’s a share sale and you continue working for the purchaser, the payment will not qualify as a retiring allowance.
Do it right. The sale of your business and the strategies you choose to minimize taxes need to be carefully evaluated before being implemented. Speaking to a qualified advisor will help ensure that you are making the right choices and fol-lowing the right procedures in order to qualify for tax benefits.
Before you sell your business, talk to us about strategies you should consider when you’re selling your business. Contact us at (250) 287-2393.

As much as the Snowden Forest is used for recreation and the enjoyment of the community as a whole, it is still an active logging area. With that in mind, industry and recreation have to share the land and work together to make it all work as best as possible.
In the future there will be some logging in the North West portion of Snowden. The road construction for this project will begin any time now and will cause tempor-
ary trail closures through-out the fall and winter. The trails affected are Frog Legs, Escargot, Box Lunch, Tad Pole,Enchanted Forest and the East side of Lookout Loop. The trail closure notifications will be posted in the parking areas, so as you head into Snowden to ride the trails you love, drop by the parking lots and get informed before you plan your ride route.
The trails affected are really fun trails, so until the closures
take place I suggest including some of these trails in as many rides as possible to get your fix.
This week’s Swicked Tip:Plan your ride loop:With so many directional trails in Snowden, and so
many rough technical sections, pre planning a loop can really improve your rides. Whether you are doing a quick hour after work or an epic five hour Sunday ride, figuring out your loop ahead of time will improve your flow.
Mixing in some easier flat riding or a bit of DH in between any tougher climbing sections will allow you time to recover. If you are aiming for a really rocky trail that will test your upper body strength, then hit some smoother trails on the way there. This will give you a good variety of trail and help you avoid early fatigue, and I’m sure you’ll enjoy your rides even more!

The fall and winter weather has arrived (rain), and the days are getting shorter.
This is the time when most runners switch their gear. Long tights become the norm, and each person finds that sweet spot for upper layers that will let the heat escape and repel wind and water at the same time. While shopping for these pieces, we recommend a sharp eye be used to analyze each piece for reflectivity. Many tights and jackets have components that reflect
light.While this is mostly
commonly done with the stitching along the seams, most technical clothing manufacturers have more and better ways to keep you seen in the dark.
Florescent colors are very common, and best for low-light daytime and dusk conditions.
Contrast, such as deep black on florescent green,
helps outline the body in low light as well. If you run in the dark – early morning and after
work in the winter - look for “seam tape” down the legs and around the knees of tights. These are reflect-ive cloth strips placed in the seam that are lit up by headlights.
There are jackets with reflective elements that are part of the fabric, as well as those that “charge up” and glow, or those that have small flashing lights sewn in that you turn on and off by hand. Safer running also means appropriate footwear for the terrain, particularly with trail shoes, and good road sense.
You have to assume that drivers cannot see you, or cannot stop in time on wet roads if you cross in front of them. We are so fortunate to live in a climate where we can run comfortably outdoors year round! Enjoy your time out there, and run safe.

What’s New In The ShoePatti Mertz
The Campbell River Storm have acquired two puck moving defence-man. The Storm signed left handed shot Trent Johnson (1995) from the Cumberland Grads of the CJHL and acquired right handed shot Cam Olson (1994) from the Sicamous Eagles of the KIJHL.
Johnson, from Rochester, Michigan was signed from the Cumberland Grads of the CJHL. Johnson started this season with the Grads and played the last two seasons with the prestigious Honeybaked program in Michigan. Johnson, tallied 12 assists last sea-son in 28 games, and debuted in
Junior A this season playing two games with the Grads.
“I couldn’t be more excited to be a part of the Campbell River Storm family,” said Johnson. “I have only heard great things about the organ-ization and cannot wait to put on a Storm sweater. I will bring dedica-tion, hard work, and character to the team and am really looking forward to moving to Campbell River and becoming a part of the amazing community.”
Stone acquired Olson, from Salmon Arm, from the Sicamous Eagles of the KIJHL. Olson first played Junior for the Eagles in their
conference final playoff run play-ing eight games. Olson finished last season with 47 games played and 11 points and is most known for his playoff performance tallying eight points in 20 KIJHL playoff games. This season Olson has contributed a goal in five games with the Eagles.
“I am truly excited to join the Storm organization,” he said. “I believe I can help the team offen-sively by moving the puck well and also being defensively sound. I’ve heard that the staff, the City of Campbell River and the fan support is all fantastic and I can’t wait to be a part of it all.”
Both Olson and Johnson are expected to make their VIJHL debuts when the Storm hop on the bus headed down the island highway to face their undefeated division rival, the Nanaimo Buccaneers.
“As a group we identified an area we wanted to improve on the back end,” said Associate Coach Kyle Sherbaty. “We have a great core of young defencemen but we were looking to add players whose strength is moving the puck up ice.
“Both Trent and Cam are smooth skating defenceman who plays smart and make effective plays that will provide offense from our back end.
We have high expectations for both and are very excited about their additions.”
The Storm travel to Naniamo to face the undefeated Buccaneers in what they hope will be a better outing than their recent 2-0 loss to Victoria Cougars. The follow-ing night they will host the Comox Valley Glacier Kings at the Rod Brind’Amour Arena at 7:30 p.m. in what should be a hotly contested battle with both teams within a point of each other nestled into second and third in the North Division.

Once again familiar names were on top of the leader board in men’s night golf action at Storey Creek.
Amateur Butch Kelly beat Malcolm Hing in a count back with a gross score of one under par 35. Brent Cross showed up to play and shot a 37 to win the low gross on the high side with two accountants winning low net — Ray Dagenais with low net on the low side and Lorrie Bewza won low net on the high side. Club Fitness won the team
game with fitness guru’s Lorne Anderson, Don Hincks, Don Bossenberry and Garry Macdonald with The Pallan Group coming in second and Shoppers Drug Mart finish-ing in third.

CIA stands for Complete Idiots Academy.
That is what Daniel Warren, a retired Marine Corps sergeant thinks, and he doesn’t make a secret of it in Sin, Sex and the CIA, the fast moving comedy which will commemorate the open-ing of Rivercity Stage, the new performance facility for Rivercity Players.
Daniel (played by Robert Hall) is caretaker of a govern-ment safehouse in the moun-tains of Vermont at which a secret meeting between the USA government and and a representative of the Chagos Islands has been arranged because of a recent oil strike on the Islands.
Unfortunately, one of those Complete Idiots has been assigned as the security guard for the meeting and proves Daniel’s point by lay-ing ‘ingenious’ traps which seem to ensnare nobody but himself. Luke James (Matt Storie) is the idiot’s name. He is enthusiastic, likeable, but totally incompetent and most of the laughs are at his expense.
Not only has Daniel got to put up with this idiot but he also has to fend off the amourous advaces of Margaret Johnson, the Assistant Secretary of State whose libido cannot be ignored.
Abernathy is a TV evangelist who sees something sinful in everything.By the time Heather Ann Faraday (Desiree Greaves), the sexy next door neighbour
has called in and given Millicent lessons in seduction, he finds it rather hard to live the life he preaches.
\Director Gail Tisdale says “The cast is finding this so much fun to rehearse, and I am sure their enthusiasm will be passed on to the audience. We all feel that it is the sort of show that Campbell River will enjoy.” The show runs Oct. 17 to 19 and 23 to 26 at Rivercity Stage, 1080 Hemlock Street. Tickets can be obtained at Impressions Custom Framing (Shoppers Row), Comfort Zone Foods (Willow Point), and Campbell
River Laudromat (Tyee Plaza).Rivercity Stage has only 80 seats so it is best to buy your
tickets early.
Associate Pastor Albert Hopp
e are living in the most incredible country. We just have to watch the news to
see the contrast in many of the third world countries and see the devastation that is happening because of war. Yet we often have the audacity to grumble and complain. It is so easy to take for granted the wonderful country where we enjoy freedom with peace and comfort.
So often we become absorbed in our own little world where everything seems to revolve around ourselves. We seem to forget the under privileged in our
country and those around the world who struggle to obtain food, clothing, shelter and other necessities of life.When we view these scenes on television it is easy to turn it off with an attitude “out of sight out of mind”. There are many opportunities for us to help and turn our affl uence into an opportunity to show our gratitude for what God has entrusted to us.
Paul the Apostle wrote more about thanksgiving than any other New Testament author. He helped us develop a theology of gratitude.Thanksgiving was always directed toward God. He
wrote, “give thanks in all circumstances...” 1 Thessalonians 5:18. Even when we make our requests to God we are to make them “with thanksgiving”, Philippians 4:6.
It is good to begin the day with thanksgiving by verbally saying, “Thank You God for my salvation, family, friends, home, employment etc.” This attitude of appreciation will fi ll your day with hope and happiness. Why not let thanksgiving drive away our selfi shness and despair and let this Thanksgiving Season get us started on a new way of living?
W“Thank You God ...”

October is here and things begin to get real spooooky…fading light, falling leaves, cold crackling noises in the dark, night time howls. Yes, October is one scary month as we head towards Halloween.
And in the spirit of fun scary, it’s time for the October Lego Day! That’s right kids, the Museum at Campbell River will host its ‘Spooky Lego Day’ on Saturday, Oct. 12, from 1 to 2:30 p.m. Take
your parents and see what scary things you can build!
Lego Master Alex Witcombe (a.k.a. Spook Dawg) will guide you through the afternoon.
Lego Day is a great way to build that creative brain power and spend some quality time imagining ‘what if?’ The cost for Lego Day is only $5 (parents are free). Call the Museum at 250-287-3103 to register.

IN MEMORIAM
IN LOVING MEMORY OFKEITH MESSER
SEPT. 12, 1958 TIL OCT 6, 2003THE BROKEN CHAIN
I little knew that morning, God was going to call your name,
In life I loved you dearly, In death I do the same.
It broke my heart to lose you, You did not go alone, for part of
me went with you, the day God called you home.
You left me beautiful memories, your love is still my Guide,
And though we cannot see you, you’re always at my side.
Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again. We miss
wish to remember andnext of kin and your nameand address for tax receipt
purposes. Thank you foryour support.

You are invited to join thousands of British Columbians as they “drop, cover and hold on” for the 2013 Great British Columbia ShakeOut. The BC Earthquake Alliance and Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC) are pleased to present Canada’s largest earthquake drill this year on Thursday, Oct. 17, at 10:17 a.m.
The province of British Columbia has offi-cially proclaimed Oct. 17 ShakeOut BC Day. Participating in the Great BC ShakeOut and practising the life-saving drill of “drop, cover
and hold on” is an important step for you and your family to help you respond more quickly and effectively when an actual earthquake occurs. You can register for the BC ShakeOut at www.shakeoutbc.ca.
“Hundreds of thousands of people up and down North America’s earthquake-prone west coast have already registered to participate. The ShakeOut drill is also a great time to review and update your emergency plans and supplies, so you can further minimize dam-
age and injuries when an earthquake hits,” says Teron Moore, Co-chair of the Great BC ShakeOut Organizing Committee.
“Earthquakes can strike anywhere at any time. Although we cannot predict when the next big one will hit, we can prepare,” says Bill Adams, IBC Vice-President, Western & Pacific. “You can practise protecting yourself from an earthquake by annually participating in the BC ShakeOut drill, having an emer-gency plan and kit at the ready to protect your
family for at least 72 hours.” IBC and the insurance industry are leaders
in preparing Canada for an earthquake. IBC’s partnership with the Great BC ShakeOut is an important step toward raising awareness about the importance of earthquake preparedness. IBC has also commissioned research on how a major earthquake would affect Canada’s west-ern and eastern seismic zones.
The study is expected to be released later this fall.
Get ready to ‘drop, cover and hold on’ Oct. 17
