City makes a grab for part of Area D to resolve sewer issue KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
The city is proposing to extend its southern boundary in order to take in Area D and find a solution to sewage problems facing residents. City council met with Bill Bennett, the minister of community, sport and cultural development, Monday at the Union of British Columbia Municipalities convention in Victoria to discuss the possibility of extending sewer service to Area D residents. Area D (Crawford Road-Oyster Bay area) homes are currently on septic systems but for more than six years have expressed interest in hooking up to city sewers. Mayor Walter Jakeway said if the city’s proposal were to proceed, it would need electoral support. “The minister said they (would) like people to come off septic systems, but the matter has to go to referendum,” Jakeway said while in Victoria Wednesday. “It cannot

be done unilaterally.” If it does go to a referendum, it would be the second time Area D residents would have voted on the same issue. In 2006, affected residents in the Ocean Grove and Crawford Road area voted in favour of allowing the Strathcona Regional District (which represents Area D) to borrow $9,350 for the collection and disposal of sewage. Benefiting properties would cover those costs in either one lump sum or spread out over a 25-year period. Brenda Leigh, who represents Area D at the regional district level, said the city presented her with a $22,000 proposal – more than double what was approved at the referendum – on Oct. 11, 2011 to expand city sewer service to Area D. The regional district ultimately turned that down, citing a lack of support. “I took their proposal door-todoor and found that there was no substantial public support in Northern Area D,” Leigh said just Continued on A7

After presenting the riders to an audience at Campbell River Common (bottom right), the fundraising got down to business with Carol Chapman’s team of hairdressers from A Cut Above (above). John Ledasseur (right) offered to shave his head and beard if the gathering raised enough money. For a few minutes they hadn’t raised enough to lose the rest of his beard but it didn’t take much longer.

Vaccination......is it worth it? 7x14 We live in an era of fantastic health and longevity without much worry over contagious disease. The same can be said for our pets. Canine distemper and parvovirus and feline panleukopenia used to kill many, many dogs and cats and cause tremendous suffering, but not so much any more. Why? It’s because of the development of vaccines for these conditions. We still see cases of these killer diseases; they’re still lurking out there, but it’s always in a pet whose vaccines are not up to date. Vaccines save pet’s lives. Period. Government regulatory bodies have strict guidelines for vaccines, and manufacturers must prove that a vaccine is safe and effective before it can be used in your pet. Through vigilance and high standards, the veterinary vaccines used today are the safest and most
protective ever. Expert veterinary groups whose make-up consists of well respected internal medicine specialists and virologists review current vaccines on the market and any relevant recent research and make sciencebased recommendations for vaccine types and administration schedules. Recent studies have demonstrated that some vaccines may convey at least three years' immunity. This is not the case with all vaccines, which require more frequent boosters. Your veterinarian is the best source of information concerning your pet’s particular needs for vaccines. Using answers you provide to speciďŹ c questions about your pet and its lifestyle, along with knowledge of local disease prevalence, and a full physical
examination, your veterinarian will recommend a speciďŹ c vaccination program for your pet. During this consultation, veterinarians frequently detect infections of the teeth or ears, and sub-clinical problems such as a heart condition or other organ dysfunction. Early diagnosis allows more effective and successful treatment and may improve the quality of your pet's life. The worst thing we can do is become complacent when it comes to contagious diseases in our pets. Vaccines have saved millions of lives, saved tremendous costs in disease treatment, and saved the grief of thousands of families who would otherwise have lost a treasured pet. When you get that letter in the mail saying it’s time for Fluffy to come in for examination and vaccination.....don’t ignore it!

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
VICTORIA – The “rookie� mayors of Campbell River and Courtenay are “disappointed� that their fellow Union of BC Municipalities delegates have voted in favour of the decriminalization marijuana. Attending their first UBCM convention Campbell River Mayor Walter Jakeway and Courtenay Mayor Larry Jangula voted against the contentious resolution and marvelled that the delegates would waste their time on an issue over which they have no jurisdiction. “I’m disappointed,� Jakeway said, “it’s going to make policing even tougher.� Jakeway said the vote was rushed before a lunch break and the show of hands was too close to a tie to be definitive. Delegates had electronic voting devices, but for some reason they weren’t used. Resolution A5, brought forward by the municipality of Metchosin, called on the UBCM to lobby the appropriate level of government to decriminalize cannabis and research its regulation and taxation. “It’s not a critical

issue for the UBCM,� Jakeway said. “It’s not a municipal gover nment issue and whether we vote or not is not going to make any difference to senior governments.� He added: “There are 200 resolutions on the agenda and a lot of them have nothing to do with our cities. We need to get back to our core purposes instead of getting sidetracked by special interest group resolutions.� Jangula said: “I’m embarrassed to belong to the UBCM and I’m
embarrassed about the message we’ve sent to organized crime and to the whole country ‌ that we’re condoning this criminal activity and that somehow if we decriminalize marijuana that organized crime is going to close its doors. “We spend too much o f o u r t a x p aye r s money debating things that are not part of our mandate. This whole thing is divisive. It doesn’t change anything.â€? Both mayors participated in the delibera-
tions of the Mayors’ Caucus, a splinter group of 140 mayors that is flexing its muscle over infrastructure issues. “We get eight per cent of the taxes collected in this country and we have 65 per cent of the infrastructure. That is a very lopsided equation and a recipe for disaster,� Jangula said. Jakeway said federal and provincial cost sharing funds for infrastructure projects need to be co-ordinated so that municipalities can plan properly.

Area D: Nearly 1,000 properties involved Continued from A1 two months ago. But some residents have expressed public health and environmental concerns created by failing septic fields. “The need for a sewer system is a real fact,” said resident Mark Treacy. “There is a study showing numerous septic failures allowing for human fecal matter to flow freely into roadside ditches, creeks and streams. The lawn surface on the residence
adjacent to mine during summer months flows of this same waste.” Another resident, Karen Van Male, who lives on Crawford Road, said one year ago that “the septic smell when it rains is really bad” and figured had the health authority been aware, the whole neighbourhood would have been kicked out. Jakeway said he understands the need but would like to see residents embrace the possibility of join-
ing the city before the sewer service is extended. “Area D needs sewers badly but we don’t want to let them have sewers unless they come into the city because if we give them sewers first, they will never come into the city,” he said. The city plans to launch an informal campaign this fall to communicate details of the proposal and gage the level of support within Area D. Jakeway said he has already discussed the
issue twice this week with Leigh, whom Jakeway said understands “we were looking for information” from Minister Bennett. Leigh did not want to comment on this story. The area the city is considering incorporating includes about 1,000 properties from the city boundary near Jubilee Parkway south to Henry Road (including all properties fronting Henry Road). That would affect roughly 2,400 of the total 4,300 people living in Area
D. The Strathcona Regional District has already secured senior g ove r n m e n t g r a n t funding of $3.4 million towards the first phase of the Area D sewer project, which is available until 2014. The city requested during Monday’s meeting with Bennett that this grant remain available for a future sewer system if a boundary adjustment does proceed. “A boundary adjustment would only go ahead if both city and Area D residents in the
Councillor backs heritage status for Willow Point Hall KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
There’s new life to the Willow Point Lions Club’s efforts to get their hall on the city’s Heritage Register. Tom McKenzie has been spearheading a campaign to obtain heritage status for the Willow Point Lions Community Hall for more than a year. He says the hall has a rich history and it holds a significant place in Campbell River’s storied past. Coun. Larry Samson agrees and at a council meeting Sept. 18, he announced his intention to bring forth a motion at next week’s council meeting to get the Willow Point Hall on the Heritage Register, which was created in 2008 and has only one property on it – the Sybil Andrews Cottage. That was welcome news to McKenzie. “I called everyone on council, even the new ones, and I talked to Larry and he took the ball and ran with it for me,” he said. “They’re all for it now and there’s no reason not to be. It doesn’t cost the city anything.” It’s been a long and bumpy road for McKenzie. He started the process of securing heritage status for the hall in May 2011 by asking the community for any old photos or clippings from the Willow Point Hall’s glory days. A motion to grant the hall a place on the Heritage Register went before council in June 2011 but it was shot down. “It’s an interesting
proposal but I’m not prepared to support it at this time,” said Coun. Andy Adams at the time. “I would want to see...what holds value before putting it on the Community Heritage Register.” Council was hesitant to move forward because a critical piece of information, a Statement of Significance, was not yet complete. Now McKenzie said he has a two-page document describing the
history of the hall – a facility built in 1939 by mostly volunteers. It opened its doors in 1940 and hosted concerts, funerals and socials. “We’ve done a ton of research on it,” McKenzie said. “I have papers that go back to 1939 such as minutes and financial records from the Willow Point Community Club’s regular meetings.” He also has a binder full of old photos and
newspaper clippings. In 1986 the Willow Point Lions Club took over ownership of the building from the Willow Point Community Club. Today, the hall is rented out nearly every single day for things like dances, weddings, and churches services. McKenzie said at $20 an hour, it’s one of the cheapest venues to rent in town. M c Ke n z i e w a n t s to get the hall on the
Heritage Register so he can apply for heritage grant funding to upgrade the hall. The hall needs a new foundation, a new roof, and upgrades to the kitchen and bathrooms. It also needs work in order to be preserved. “We want to take it back to what it was originally,” McKenzie said. “We want to have cedar siding and a dark brown roof so it looks like shingles.”
proposed area support the idea,” said Coun. Andy Adams. “Development in the proposed adjustment area is very similar to residential neighbourhoods inside city boundaries, and the lack of community sewer in this area poses the most risk to public health and the environment.” The city plans to provide an information package for Campbell River and Area D residents in the proposed expansion area with details about the cost to
hook up to city sewer, a proposed schedule for sewer installation, other city services that would become available such as curb-side garbage, recycling and yard waste collection, how existing services currently provided by the regional district would shift to the city, and anticipated effects on property tax rates in the adjustment area and the process for deciding on a boundary adjustment. -With files from Brian Kieran

Our View
Federal government walking on thin ice The Canadian government has routinely been criticized for not being aggressive enough in curbing greenhouse gas emissions. Now a University of Victoria report shows Arctic permafrost is thawing and billions of tonnes of carbon dioxide, We say: Harper previously unaccounted for, is being released into the atmosphere, has given up on helping raise global temperatures. greenhouse gas This news comes on the heels of a report from the National Snow and issue Ice Data Centre which found that the Arctic sea ice cover melted to its lowest since 1979 last month. What these two things have in common is that they are both caused by global warming –
along with natural weather patterns – and both increase global warming. The warming trend in turn creates strange and devastating weather patterns including tornadoes in Brooklyn, droughts in Texas and flooding everywhere from Pakistan to Montreal. These severe weather events cause billions of dollars in damage, not to mention hundreds of thousands of deaths each year. In 2011, the cost of weather disasters worldwide was an estimated $150 billion. Scientists are now reporting that severe weather events that usually occur every 50 to 100 years are appearing in shorter cycles. Our warmer atmosphere creates heat waves, more water evaporation from the oceans adds up to heavier rainfall, rising winds occur and atmospheric chaos ensues. These dramatic
weather events are another indication that global warming is real and all levels of government need to take it seriously. The federal Liberal government that agreed to the Kyoto Protocol to restrict greenhouse gas emissions, lacked the enthusiasm to meet its targets and since the Conservative takeover, the level of apathy has risen to new heights. The Harper government decided it would never meet the targets so why try? Perhaps the steady erosion of Canada’s Arctic is reason enough. As the ice and permafrost melt, and the water rises, Canada will no longer have to worry about Arctic sovereignty as there will be no Arctic land mass left to protect. – Black Press

Slow down lady I am sending a wish to the woman driving a car which was making a right turn from Willis Road on to Petersen at about 2:30 p.m. on Monday afternoon. My wish is that sometime, when you are in a rush to drive somewhere, and jump onto your seat in the car, the seat will have a complete prickly pear cactus plant on it. I visit my wife daily at the Evergreen Seniors Home, and on good days use my scooter for the trip. I was returning that day (which happened to be our 67th anniversary), driving north on Petersen on the left side bicycle path so I could turn onto Willis without disrupting traffic on Willis. All the Willis vehicles were turning left, so I had a clear path to get onto Willis. However, as I slowed a few feet short of the intersection, your car came down Willis rather fast past the waiting vehicles, and without stopping, swung right onto Petersen, crossed across the bicycle path, and missed me on my scooter by about a couple of feet.

Liberals swapping sociology for socket sets
Tom Fletcher B.C. Views
Premier Christy Clark’s latest employment announcement set the tone for one of the big issues in the 2013 election. Flanked by aircraft technician students at BCIT in Burnaby, Clark announced a $75-million program to upgrade aging trade and technical school facilities and hire instructors. And she did it with some pointed criticism of the career path chosen by many of today’s high school students. Clark introduced a student electrician, the first woman to win the senior technology education award at her high school, who then went on to get a bachelor’s degree in English and sociology. No job, so she went to
BCIT. Her message was clear. The government’s pre-election budget is going to shift priorities to the huge number of skilled trades jobs that are already going begging in the north. More students will get started in high school, instead of being subsidized to wander around and find themselves with an unfocused university degree that still leaves them in need of practical skills. Shop upgrades were announced for trades training in Prince George, Kelowna and Greater Victoria. There will be new student financial aid, but it will be tied to skill programs the economy needs now. And with the government’s financial situation, you can bet that soci-
ology, women’s studies and the rest of the dead-end programs dear to the hearts of last year’s Occupy campers will feel the pinch. The B.C. Liberal skills training push was partly inspired by last year’s “inequality” protest, after Dawson Creek Mayor Mike Bernier waded into the Occupy Vancouver squat to hand out business cards. They need cooks and labourers as well as pipefitters up there these days, and that’s before the B.C. gas patch goes into a huge expansion for Asian exports. A version of Kevin Falcon’s “welfare air” idea to move unemployed recipients north was included in last week’s announcement by Clark and
her jobs czar, Pat Bell. Called “Job Match,” it’s a $2.9-million pilot program in the Peace region. It will deliver basic education and work boots for people in that region before anyone will be flown up from Nanaimo or Nelson. Cruising along at nearly 50 per cent in the polls, the NDP have also put a heavy emphasis on post-secondary. But they’re still playing to the urban Occupy crowd, with a promise of a tax on banks to fund student grants. Instead of providing loan relief after successful completion, they’re going to hand out money at the front end, just like they did in my student Continued on A9
OPINION
NIC president to retire
Take remedial action
At Wednesday’s Board of Governors meeting, Dr. Jan Lindsay announced her intention to retire as President of North Island College, effective May 31, 2013. In announcing her decision, Lindsay stated, “While this decision has been prompted by my desire to spend time with our rapidly growing cadre of grandchildren, two born in the past 16 months and a third due October 20th, I have mixed emotions because I very much enjoy working with our students and all the extremely talented individuals at North Island College and serving on the College Board of Governors. “At the same time, I feel that in the four academic years I will have been at the college I will have accomplished all of my goals regarding enrollment growth, program diversification, expanded community, industry and post-secondary education partnerships, internationalization and applied research development that I held when I first came to the college.” In her statement to college staff Lindsay said, “North Island College has changed quite dramatically over the past three years and we can be very proud of all that we have achieved together. “I look forward to continuing to work with you over the next eight months to accomplish the many things included in our plans for 2012/13 academic year.” Lindsay oversaw a number of important initiatives during her tenure as President. Bruce Calder, Chair of the Board of Governors, announced that the Board would begin the process of recruiting a new President immediately.

prolonged, and also providing evidence for the comment by one of our councilors in the papers recently, about the hazards to pedestrians and cyclists on both those roads. I myself had been driving for 70 years, but voluntarily turned in my license when a couple of incidents told me I should no longer be driving. While you appeared in the glimpse I had of you to be too young to do the same, I hope you noticed how close you came to getting charged with dangerous driving causing death, and take remedial action for your driving. “Still alive” Doug Millar Campbell River

days. My experience as a student, a job seeker and a parent is that free money encourages aimless study, and the selection of courses that are appealing rather than safe investments. We already have far too much of that, and I think most students today would be better off with a bigger debt and a well-paying job. As the new trades plan was being rolled out (and mostly ignored by the Vancouver media), former finance minister Colin Hansen announced he’s retiring. It was Hansen who started the push for skills training back in 2008, emphasizing that there will be a million new jobs open by 2019, 600,000 of them due to retiring baby boomers. Hansen made a sales trip to snowy Toronto to launch advertising to lure people to B.C. That effort is being revised with a series of interprovincial and international trips, because even if all 650,000 high school students graduate and go to work in B.C. from now to 2019, it won’t be enough to fill all the jobs on the horizon.

It will allow doctors to apply for up to 10 days of locum coverage each year so they can take vacation time or participate in continuing medical education programs. Locums are doctors who assume another doctor’s duties on a temporary basis. The Rural General Practitioner Anesthesia Locum Program was developed by a Standing Committee on Rural Issues, an initiative of the B.C. government and BC Medical Association.

NEWS
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2012 | CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR |
‘Devastating blow’ hits days before Family Services Day is celebrated Oct. 3 has been declared “Campbell River Family Services Society Day” in Campbell River. Raising awareness of what the organization does and how its programs and services contribute to a healthy community for all is critical to the long term survival of this community based social service agency, CRFSS officials say. This past March, CRFSS marked its 35th anniversary of serving individuals, children and families living in Campbell River and area. Every year over 2,500 persons access the programs and services offered by the organization, but according to Executive Director, Camille Lagueux the future for organizations such as CRFSS becomes more precarious every year. “Increasingly tighter economics mean that we can no longer provide the same level of service year after year,” she said. This past Friday (Sept. 21), the organization received what can only be described as a “devastating blow” when it received notice that a “permissive tax exemption” that was granted by the City Council in 2009 and was to be in effect until 2016 is being revoked effective January 2013.
Wi t h o u t t h e t a x exemption, the organization will not be able to sustain current levels of services and programs that currently have waitlist will only become more difficult to access. “It is unacceptable for a child who has been sexually abused to be waitlisted for service,” Lagueux said. “The city needs to become a full partner in providing these essential services to its citizens and we are asking that they honor their agreement with the Society.” As part of Campbell River Family Services
Day, many local businesses and community organizations will have their staff wearing “I Support Campbell River Family Services Society” buttons on Oct. 3. “We thank those businesses for their support; any business wishing to take part in what hopefully becomes an annual awareness day can call Family Services at (250) 287-2421 to request buttons for their staff. “Now more than ever, it is important to protect community based social services and recognize the difference that they make in peo-
ple’s lives,” Lagueux said. CRFSS is an accredi t e d o r g a n i z at i o n , which means that programs and business practices meet or exceed international standards established by the industry. The org anization has been accredited by CARF International since 2004 and has received an award as being one of the first hundred accredited social service organizations in British Columbia.

Gardeners Green Folk Music Club is kicking off a new season of events with a house concert this Saturday, beginning promptly at 7 p.m. Graham Metcalfe, a collector and singer of traditional English folk songs, performs. He hails from the village of Upper Poppleton, near York. He has been singing for fifty years, both on his own and as part of various combinations of well-known singers on the English folk scene, and contributed to various CDs. For the last thirty years he has been an important part of the extremely rich traditional music scene in Oxford, where he is known as “Oxford’s favourite Yorkshireman”. Metcalfe says he was “born at an early age in a Yorkshire village, the only music to follow was rock’n’roll. However, it lost something in the dialect, so after trying this and that, I stumbled into folk music, which at first I treated like an old sock - at arm’s length - but it soon grew on me and it’s been downhill ever since.” Metcalfe possesses a rich, warm, mellow

voice, singing folk songs as perhaps they were always meant to be – sung by an ordinary man in the way he wants to sing them. The style is true
Yorkshire, and true Metcalfe. Perhaps best known in trios like Folly Bridge, Metcalfe is an impressive singer in his own right. He is naturally relaxed and totally at ease with his chosen material, which he performs with real conviction and not a trace of complacency. To reserve tickets call 250-337-5337. Cost is $20 and includes hot drinks and a bountious dessert buffet. The music club will also hold another one of its popular charity raffles for Families for Children during the evening, with great prizes, as always. Metcalfe and his wife Lucinde are keen to have a singaround/ song exchange after the concert, anyone wishing to participate, or to just listen, are welcome to stay.

Campbell River is getting ready to host for the second time, the Campbell River Perinatal Society’s own version of “Dancing with the Stars”. For those who may have missed it last year, it is a night of entertainment including local stars competing for the coveted title of top dancer. And just like the television show, the stars are not professional dancers, who are now working hard with a professional. The event is staged similar to the real show, in
a home where these women can live and learn how to be great moms. Money is raised through pledges or votes. Each vote is $5, 10 for $15, or 15 for $50 (yes, you can vote often) and even before the event. Next week, the website (newdawnhouse.org) will have links to assist in voting for your favourite stars. The dancer who raises the most funds is the winner. There are a number of competitors, and the following are the first three to be featured. Pam Posein is an Alberta born farm girl who now makes her home here, working as a chiropractor. She put on her dancing shoes for the first time about 10 years ago, with her favourite dances being the tango, meringue, waltz and the west coast swing. She promises to dance her heart out for the moms. Matt Bruining originally hails from the N e t h e rl a n d s, bu t
grew up in southern Alberta. Working for RBC has allowed him to help out in many community charities. Bruining remembers re l u c t a n t ly t a k i n g part in the mandatory dance curriculum for his PE requirement in high school. But he is a fighter, and has spent hours relearning those steps. He promises to dazzle everyone with his great moves. Mike Finn, otherwise known as our resident “dancing dentist”, loves being involved in hockey and baseball with his children, and happily volunteers. Even though he doesn’t have a dance background, he cheerfully agreed to risk ridicule for this great cause. However, his dancing skills have excelled so quickly, that he claims he just might be unbeatable – his instructor says “his style is unique, he’s pioneering new dance moves that have yet to be introduced in the dance world”.

Campbell River Living Family wants to pay back special gift KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Nick King was used to staying behind at home with his mom while the rest of his family was out enjoying the great outdoors. But that all changed when Nick, who was born with Down syndrome, received an unthinkable gift from Variety-The Children’s Charity. After encouragement from Nick’s physiotherapist at Carihi, his mom, Allison King, called Variety to inquire about getting a specially-made bicycle for Nick. What arrived was a $3,600 custom made bike tailored to suite her son’s needs. The bike has wide, flat bike pedals with straps to secure Nick’s feet. There’s also a steering mechanism and a brake at the back of the bike in case he needs a little help getting on course.
“Barb Wa g er (Nick’s physiotherapist) encouraged me to approach Variety because she thought it could be something he could benefit from and absolutely he has,” Allison says. “He’s had it one year but he’s still getting used to it. He prefers to look around at the scenery instead of where he’s going but his muscles are getting stronger from the pedalling.” Now the family wants to give back to Variety for its generosity. The Kings were asked by Variety a few months ago if Nick would like to be one of the charity’s Coin Kids. As a Coin Kid, Nick is raising money in Campbell River to support Variety which helps children with special needs. White cardboard boxes have already been distributed at Superstore, Mac’s on Alder Street, Dairy Queen, Hair
Squared in Discovery Harbour mall, Ocean Grove Esso, Carihi, and at the Shell gas station at the Island Highway and Erickson. The family has set a goal of fundraising $3,600 – the cost of the bike. “I just jumped at the chance,” Allison says. “What a great way to give back. They gave us such a great gift, we had to help. We knew it was something we had to do. He has a bike. Everyone needs a bike.” Nick, 15, is a healthy tenth grader in his first year at Carihi. He attends the school’s Skills for Life program which focuses on preparing students with an array of disabilities for life beyond the childhood home. Nick has no speech and uses a talking board to communicate. “He touches the picture to show what he wants,” she says. “He
knows to go in there and how to manoeuvre to get what he wants. He understands what you tell him, there’s no doubt in my mind.” He’s also up on all the latest music, and he knows how to get his favourite songs off of YouTube onto his ipod. “He likes Bon Jovi, he likes Lady Gaga, that party rock anthem stuff,” Allison says. “He can find it all (online). He knows how to get on there and find all the top songs.” He’s also a huge Vancouver Canucks fan and has even made it to Vancouver to take in a couple of games with his dad. “He’s a fun guy, he’s a lot of fun to be around,” Allison says. “He’s very happy.” But he struggles with low muscle tone. His mom says it takes him “a long time to get from point A to point B” which is what makes his
Open House
custom bike from Variety such a blessing. “He has low gross motor in his legs,” Allison says. “My husband and daughter would go out and do their thing on the weekend and me and Nick would stay home because we couldn’t go far. Now we’re all out enjoying family time together.” Allison says she and her husband, Roger, along with their daughter Madison, 10, take Nick out on his bike nearly everyday. “We’d like to give back and say thank you for such a gift, it’s worth it,” Allison says. The family will be collecting donations for Variety at the Bank of Montreal on Oct. 12 from 12-2 p.m. Donations can also be made online through Nick’s website at www. variety.bc.ca/coindrive. htm and then clicking on Nick-Campbell River.

Planning for Life Changes Are Real Estate investments for you?
2X14 As real estate investments have become more and more popular it is a consideration for many of us. Although the gains can be substantial, it PFL is more involved than stocks and bonds. Speculation in property has long been a profitable investment.
Diane Rogers
The most common, is obtaining a rental property. You pay taxes, mortgage and maintenance. Your tenants rent should cover these costs and it is a bonus if there is money left over for a monthly profit. The advantages of owning a rental investment can be great: 1. The goal being to pay off the mortgage quickly, and then the rental income is pure profit. 2. Reasonably, the property value increases with time giving you a very profitable return. The disadvantages: 1. You could end up with a bad tenant, no tenant or costly damages leaving you to cover costs and meet your mortgage. 2. You must maintain the upkeep, respond to emergencies – like a blown hot-water tank in the middle of the night etc. What you will want to look for to make the best investment: 1. Pick an area with low vacancy rates 2. Pick a building tenants will want to live in 3. Pick a property reasonably priced 4. Consider paying a property manager to take care of your investment if you do not want to or cannot manage it yourself. 5. Make sure you have savings for a couple of mortgage payments ahead to cover any shortfall.

ampbell River has been very good to my girlfriend (now wife) Faron and myself. We spent three great summers working at Painters Lodge and getting a good dose of the fish stories that define Campbell River’s sport fishing community.
Joe Watson introduced us to the Tyee Club and the character building experience of rowing in the Tyee Pool with its complexities of time, tide and history. We have yet to achieve membership, although Faron has come close. I have managed to row one member into the club, probably my proudest fishing achievement,

on the rod or off. When we finally decided to tie the knot, Campbell River was the natural venue, and September was the natural season. The Tyee Club property, with its spectacular garden, views, and Chinook rolling just off the beach, seemed the perfect spot for the ceremony. We barely mustered the courage to ask, thinking that
Sept. 28 - Oct. 4
the hallowed grounds of the club would unlikely be available for a wedding, particularly at the peak of the season. However, we were welcomed with open arms by the club, who went out of their way to be supportive. We were even treated to some excellent pro bono marital advice from veteran members.

DEATHS
David “Neill� Hanna
March 31, 1928– September 21, 2012 It is with saddened hearts that we annouce the sudden passing of our dad, grandad, uncle and friend. He was predeceased by the love of his life, Dorothy in 2002. Survived by his children; Grant, Maggie, Mike and Barb, grandchildren; Alexandra, Danielle, Connor, Brad, Ryan and Rachael, sister in law Idabelle, nieces, nephews, and very dear and special friend Helen. Dad’s life was ďŹ lled with lots of love and laughter(heavy on the laughter). He enjoyed life to the fullest, always had a kind word and smile for everyone and looked for the positive in everything. Truly a gentleman. Dad was born in Alberni, BC. March 31 1928 and moved to Campbell River, BC in 1958 with his young family in tow.

Making money with your voice
Drive Smart BC Those That Can’t, 2X14 Those That Don’t and Those That Don’t Care For the sake of making my point, I’m going to divide traffic rule violators into three categories; those that don’t know the rules, those that make honest mistakes and those who are selfish and don’t think about what TYEE CHEV their actions might result in. I know that I try my best not to be in the first category and despite my best efforts am occasionally part of the second category. Hopefully I am never in the last category.

Clockwise from left, Jana Watt, treasurer of the food bank, Sandra Parrish, museum acting executive director, Kevin Mack, Salvation Army community ministries director, and Robyn Ellsworth, administrator of the Beacon’s Club, are thrilled to receive funds from John Godfrey, centre, Bridge Club manager, which the Bridge Club raised at a recent seminar.
Club bridges the gap for local groups KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
The Campbell River Bridge Club gave back to eight local charities Wednesday afternoon. The club raised the money during a seminar put on by internationally-known Bridge player Barbara Seagram of Toronto. A group of 42 seminar attendees were each asked to pay an entrance fee, and together they raised $1,040 for local non-profits.
John Godfrey, Bridge Club manager, said the profits were divided among eight groups, calculated by the number of bridge players who wanted their money to go to that particular charity. “It was a wonderful seminar and it was so generous of her to give to our local economy,” Godfrey said of Seagram. The funds raised were split as follows: the Campbell River Food Bank ($275); the Women’s Centre ($250); SPCA ($100); Hospice Society ($100); the Beacon Club ($90); the United
Way ($75); the Salvation Army ($75); the Museum at Campbell River ($75). The Bridge Club, part of the City of Campbell River’s Recreation and Culture 50+ programs, meets twice a week (Wednesday afternoon and Thursday evening) at the Community Centre Lounge. New members are always accepted and lessons are available. For more information or to join the club call Godfrey at 250-923-5687. Bridge is a card game derived from another card game, whist.

Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
The holder of a valid BC driver’s licence should not be included in the first category. When we are licensed we are expected to know the rules and keep up with them even as they change. That is not always easy to do, but worth the effort because you cannot use “I didn’t know!” as a defence in traffic court. We all make mistakes, even when we don’t want to. I accept that and try not to repeat them when I find that I am the culprit. I am very fortunate that I have not had to ask for someone’s forgiveness, nor give it, through involvement in a significant traffic incident. Thank goodness! This leaves us with the last group, those that don’t want to be bothered to follow the rules unless it suits them to. Individuality, civil disobedience, I should be able to do this and other justifications have no place on our highways, they lead to collisions and they hurt people. If you drive like this, shame on you! Perhaps if you hear this often enough from others you will consider not being a bad example.

Everyday, people are told they have a great speaking voice, without ever realizing there’’s an enormous voice over industry. Today, despite fluctuation in our economy, the profession is experiencing tremendous growth while at the same time embracing a broadening range of voices. Advances in technology and changes in the way information is presented continue to open new doors for voice over artists. People from virtually all walks of life are turning to voice acting for supplemental or retirement income, or as a full time career. On Wednesday, Oct. 3, the City of Campbell River Parks, Recreation & Culture Department, in conjunction with Voice Coaches, will present Getting Paid To Talk, a single-evening, realistic and entertaining introduction to the world of voice overs. Attendees will learn everything from the basics of getting started, working in the studio, effective demo production methods, and industry pros and cons to where to look for opportunities in and around their community and how to land the job. Attendees will also have the opportunity to record a mock commercial under the direction of a Voice Coaches producer. Regardless of motivation, Getting Paid to Talk is a great first step for anyone curious about Voice Acting. Registration at least a week in advance is required. Enrollment is limited to 25. For more information or to register by the enrollment deadline, call 250-286-1161. Class fee is $20. Some interesting voice over facts: ■ Less than 10 per cent of the voice acting jobs available are commercials. ■ According to CNN. com, the average voice actor earns $47,000 a year. ■ In most cases, a person’’s voice will portray the broadest voice age range well into adulthood. ■ An increasing amount of voice over work is done outside of major markets.

Shady Stables riders galloping to Las Vegas KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
A group of highlycommitted girls are off to Las Vegas. But it won’t be a vacation. The group of five will be up against the best of the best in the equestrian world. The girls – including Breanna Fear from Campbell River – are attending the American Quarter Horse Association World Championships Oct. 4-7. Fear, with horse Mickey, qualified at the Canadian National Quarter Horse Show in Red Deer, AB in August by securing the Reserve Novice Youth All Around and the Reserve Novice Youth Equitation Championship. Campbell River’s Montana Hartle, with
her horse Otis, was the Reserve (14-18 years) We s t e r n P l e a s u r e Champion and also took third in Non-Pro Western Pleasure Gold Rush Futurity. Hartle, however, will not be attending the Worlds. Nor will Campbell River’s Sara Hoodikoff who, with horse Joe Dirt, clinched the Youth (13 and under) Hunter Under Saddle Champion title at Nationals. The girls all train and board their horses at Shady Stables. Patti Woods, their instructor and trainer at the barn, said the girls put in the hard work and deserve the results they achived. “They’re here five days a week for a couple of hours,” Woods said. “I’m proud of them all.” When the world championships come around,

Wilson qualified by winning the Non-Pro Western Pleasure Gold Rush Futurity for the second straight year. She was also named the Novice Youth Western Pleasure Canadian National Champion. See took second place in the Non-Pro Western Pleasure Gold Rush Futurity Reserve at Nationals, to qualify for the Worlds in Vegas. The girls credited their instructor for their success. “We want to thank Patti Woods because we couldn’t have gotten this far without her,” Hartle said. “And Rachel Barry (owner of Shady Stables).”

Veteran native guide puts The River on the map BRIAN KIERAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
T
he West Coast wildlife adventures of Campbell River First Nations guide Tom Sewid have made it to television. And, this city figures prominently as the gateway to great whale watching excitement in the next instalment of his series Aboriginal Adventures. The series has been airing on CHEK TV and the next show can be seen Monday, Oct. 1
at 9 p.m. The show’s Victoriabased producer Chris Jaycox says Campbell River was a natural jumping off spot for the shoot because it is a whale watching base. Many of the framing scenes were shot along the city waterfront on First Nations land. Sewid says Adventure Quest Tours took the film crew to the area of Chatham Point in Johnstone Strait where it filmed humpback whales. Scenes of orcas were shot off Sidney out-
side Victoria. “I talked extensively about Campbell River, the gateway to the Orca realm of Johnstone Strait and the Great Bear Rainforest. My goal is to see Campbell River become the prime Vancouver Island destination for tourists seeking wildlife adventures. I want everyone to know that five minutes out of this city you’re in the wilderness,” Sewid says. In this region Sewid is synonymous with Aboriginal tour-
