Vandals tag Sunrise Square with death threats BRIAN KIERAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

BRIAN KIERAN/THE MIRROR

Sunrise Square owner Orla Jensen is fed up with the graffiti that is becoming more and more violent in Willow Point. The area has been the target of a prolific tagger and the RCMP are gathering evidence on what they believe is a single perpetrator.

Graffiti vandals have hit Willow Point hard this month and that has business owner Orla Jensen both angry and alarmed.

The latest attack this weekend covered the walls of two buildings Jensen owns at Sunrise Square and included an ominous message: “I want to kill you.”

This escalation of the vandalism has Jensen and his tenants, like Dentist Dave Brodie, concerned. Jensen says the vandals have “stepped up their game with threats.”

“It’s getting a bit much. Something has to be done. It can’t just keep on happening. We’ve been hit five times in the last two weeks. They’ve also hit Willow Point School, the 7-Eleven and Discovery Foods. The RCMP have had a real problem with this and I don’t think they’ve put their finger on it yet.”

The business owner says the police met with him Sunday and seized some evidence. He says it is always the same kids involved because the tags, graffiti signatures, are always repeated with each attack.

RCMP Staff Sgt. Troy Beauregard confirms that officers collected evidence over the weekend.

“We don’t take these things lightly and we don’t want it to go unchecked.” Beauregard says police believe one person is involved in the latest graffiti incident and he warns that the offender could be subject to multiple charges when caught Continued on A3

Council to review controversial purchasing policy KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Council will review a controversial city policy that the mayor tried unsuccessfully to change as recently as this spring.

Following the advice of George Cuff, who in September conducted an audit of city hall, and other consultants the city has met with this year, Coun. Claire Moglove requested council take another look at its purchasing policy.

The policy, which city staff follows when awarding contracts to outside companies and when purchasing supplies, has been a hot topic at city hall in recent months.

“I decided to choose the purchasing policy as perhaps the first one we might want to review for a number of reasons,” Moglove said at last week’s Tuesday council meeting. “One (being) there’s two pieces of the purchasing policy that seem to create controversy from time to time and I’m talking about the lack of a local preference policy and also spending limits.”

Mayor Walter Jakeway first voiced concerns over the purchasing policy, in particular how much city staff could spend without council approval, in March.

Currently general managers are allowed to spend up to $50,000 without asking for

council’s permission while senior managers can spend up to $100,000 without first running it by council.

During this year’s budget planning meetings, Jakeway advocated for lowering that price point to $20,000 out of concern that “the flood gates (would) open” once the budget was approved and staff were free to spend.

“In 2012 we’re in tight money times,” he said. “I think it’s very important for council to have a $20,000 review point so council knows what’s going on and so the public knows what’s going on.”

Jakeway also believed city staff were setting project budgets too high, so that when Request for Proposals went out, companies were coming back with bids with jacked up prices.

However, City Manager Andy Laidlaw said the city was following best practices and any bids that came in under budget were awarded.

Jakeway’s request to lower the purchasing policy threshold for city staff was subsequently defeated by the rest of council.

More recently, Jakeway was bothered by the second piece of the purchasing policy Moglove identified as controversial – hiring out of town companies.

Earlier this month, Jakeway expressed his disappointment in the city hiring

a Vancouver-based company, Graphically Speaking, to redesign the city’s website.

“The optics are terrible,” he said. “This was purely a decision of the city manager. City council had no say in the matter.”

And that’s because Graphically Speaking’s bid for the work was $56,993, well under

the $100,000 threshold.

The contract was awarded based on a points system that determined Graphically Speaking offered the best overall value for the city, although the company did not provide the cheapest quote.

Moglove said her motivation in reviewing the purchasing policy is to take

some of the heat off city staff and determine if the policy needs changing.

“Instead of criticizing staff when they follow policy, I thought it would be better if we actually review the policy and decide whether we want to keep the policy or whether we want to change the policy,” she said.

because the police are keeping track of all similar events.

B e a u re g a rd s ay s the courts take these crimes seriously and he recalls that a young female tagger received jail time this spring.

One of the main concerns is the cost of repairing the damage, Beauregard says.

Jensen confirms that: “Each time they do this I’m looking at three days labour and gallons and gallons of paint. It’s constant ...

I can’t keep up. It’s a lot of work and a big expense.”

A few years ago the Willow Point Business Improvement Association posted a reward, but the vandalism stopped and no one was caught. Police have promised anonymity if people with information about the graffiti come forward.

Some of the best political theatre will be back on display for city budget deliberations KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The public will have at least six different opportunities to address city council during budget planning for 2013.

The first half an hour of financial planning meetings scheduled for Dec. 3 and 4, Jan. 22, and Feb. 25, 26, and 27 will be reserved for public presentations and delegations. The meetings are all tentatively scheduled for 9 a.m.

“When important decisions are to be made or are contemplated during the financial planning process, it is necessary to gain a better understanding of the needs/ concerns from the community,” said Laura Ciarniello, the city’s general manager of corporate services.

“Public consultation is important to validate council’s leadership and to allow citizens to express their views regarding the options council is debating.”

Last year, council was inundated with presentations over anger generated by a 13.6 per cent residential property tax increase.

At a meeting in mid-April, 26 people came to the council chambers to voice their opinions, and about 90 members of the public overflowed the gallery to witness

the meeting.

Most urged council to go back to the drawing board and reconsider the tax rate, while just one woman spoke in favour of the tax hike in order to maintain city service levels.

The public forums also brought some unforgettable characters out the woodwork, most notably pensioner Doug Robson who two years ago brought a gold-plated shovel and a can of tuna to illustrate his point.

“No perks, no frills,” said Robson as he held up a plain old, steel shovel next to his golden shovel.

“I cannot handle a tax increase or I’m going to have to eat cat food.”

Last year Robson made a splash when he compared councillors to the eliminated penny.

“Last Thursday the federal budget was brought in that did not increase my taxes and eliminated the penny,” Robson said at the time. “I’m here today to demand, not ask, for the resignation of four bad pennies we have here on council.”

Financial planning this year is expected to open with a debate around the city’s base budget, then move into the capital budget in January and end in February with the formation of service and tax levels.

Rotary Auction record result Rotary TV auction raises a record $95,000 The hard work of volunteers, the enthusiasm of the community, the NHL hockey strike and the reach of the World Wide Web have converged to deliver a record breaking year for the Campbell River Rotary Club TV auction.

Club President Todd Peachey says the weekend auction televised live from the Shaw studios raised $95,000.

“This is money that will be spent on projects in the community,” he said.

He added that none of the money raised is earmarked for the bridg e across Elk Falls.

Peachey said just about everyone in the 85-member club played a role in the auction.

“We were streaming on the World Wide Web and people were actually bidding in items from the Smart Phones.”

Peachey said he was particularly pleased that Bill Henderson’s “Pugwis” mask carving valued at $5,800

fetched $4,300 in bidding.

As well, a Campbell River Hearing Clinic package valued at $7,775 went for more than $4,500.

In years past, money raised by the auction has supported projects like the Rotary Seawalk, the Centennial Pool, Our Place, the Fishing Pier, Carihi’s Infant and Toddler Centre and the waterpark project at the Sportsplex.

City to look into reducing its municipal boundaries KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

City council will look into the impacts of shrinking the city.

McIvor Lake residents who no longer want to be a part of the City of Campbell River finally got what they were looking for when council, at its regular meeting last week, asked city staff to report back on how such a move would affect the city.

The group of eight residents who live along McIvor Lake Road wrote a letter to city council Nov. 7 demanding a response to an Aug. 28 petition for annexing their properties from the city.

After council voted to receive the residents’ letter, Coun.

Larry Samson went one step further.

“I’ll make a motion to get a report from staff on the implications of the removal of t hese properties from the city boundaries,” said Samson who was quick to add that he also would like the report to include the impact it would have on fire and other city services that the residents receive.

The report, which will come before council at a future council meeting, is expected to also include options to address the residents’ concerns, the biggest being the condition

of the road which is paved for the first 500 metres but gravel the rest of the way.

Dr. Aref Tabarsi, a McIvor Lake resident who has led the charge for annexation, spoke to council last year about the condition of the road.

He said in the winter the potholes are so deep that he’s driving on the opposite side of the road to avoid them and in the summer, so much dust is kicked up that he can’t even go for a walk in his own neighbourhood.

Tabarsi maintains it’s wrong of the city to collect property taxes from him and his neighbours when they say they’re not receiving basic city

services.

“For the entire six months of a year I’m driving on a public road that’s only been graded once,” Tabarsi said.

“It’s unbearable. Collecting our taxes and giving us minimal to no services, including a basic drivable road, is illegal, unethical and immoral.”

Tabarsi and his neighbours are pushing for the city to apply to the province under the Local Government Act to downsize the municipality.

The McIvor Lake g roup’s intention is to then join the Strathcona Regional District, which has a lower property tax rate.

The city will not cut tree roots that are causing flooding in a building on Shoppers Row. Tricia Murphy and Michael Murphy, who own a building in the 900 block of Shoppers Row, say roots have been growing under the building for a number of years, creating blockages that lead to flooding.

“We...ask that the city do something to remove their trees’ roots from under our building before serious damage occurs,” wrote the Murphys in a letter to council. “The current situation is intolerable and completely unfair to us and our very patient tenants.”

But the city says it’s not bound to do anything.

“It’s the property owner’s responsibility to maintain the build-

had a problem until the existing trees were established.

“These trees need to be replaced or measures taken to keep their root system on city property and away from our lines,” wrote the Mur phys. “We would also like to point out that there is potential for actual structural damage from these roots. As we have been paying taxes for 20 years now to the city for this property – last year our tax bill alone was $27,128.77 – we feel that we deserve some attention.”

Council, however, reviewed and received the letter at last week’s council meeting but took no further action.

Wipper says council could have ordered city staff to cut the roots but that would have been contrary to the practice followed by other municipalities.

ing and all of its parts,” says City Clerk Peter Wipper, who serves as the city’s risk and claims manager. “That would mean the sewer line that runs out to the road.”

Wipper says the city has had “the odd” claim related to tree roots blocking sewer lines but in all cases the city has denied claims where tree roots have gotten in because the onus is on the owner to keep the pipes clear.

“The BC Building Code reads that all pipe joints in a sewer system be water tight and root intrusion proof,” Wipper says. “Our Municipal Insurance Association which represents 160 governments always denies claims for root intrusion.”

But the Murphys are adamant that the problem is the trees, not their pipes. They’ve owned the building for 20 years and never

Central banker warns of labour shortages in B.C. BRIAN KIERAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

BRIAN KIERAN/THE MIRROR

Bank of Canada senior representative Dr. Farid Novin weighs the financial trends during an address to the Campbell River Chamber of Commerce Tuesday morning.

B.C. is destined to be an economic leader in Canada and Vancouver Island can be an innovative player in the “new normal,” but we have to address the issue of labour shortages, Bank of Canada senior representative Dr. Farid Novin said Tuesday.

Speaking to about 30 members of the Campbell River Chamber of Commerce, Novin said: “Things are not that bad in Canada and in B.C. economic conditions remain slightly better than the Canadian average. This province, particularly the north, is the 21st Century place to be.

And, Vancouver Island

ers that Canada has enough skills. Because of that “businesses in B.C. have learned to do it themselves and there is an incredible amount of innovation, good thinking, job training and apprenticeship.

It’s a good thing they are standing on their own feet.

“It is a part of the investment infrastructure that has a huge payoff,” he added.

The Bank of Canada representative noted that the B.C. fundamentals are strong.

T h e g ove r n m e n t ’s debt as a percentage of gross domestic product is the third lowest in the country and the province’s employment is now above pre-recession levels.

He also said the

rebounding U.S. housing market bodes well for the forest sector on Vancouver Island. He said B.C.’s forest products are high cost, but they are quality products.

Mayor Walter Jakeway said Novin gave Campbell River a few good hints about the economic road ahead.

“Campbell River is heading into good times with the major projects we have ahead.

We have the resources here, like the North Island College and the Vancouver Island University, to train and supply some of that labour Novin talks about.

“It means there is going to be a great future for young people and immigrants.”

Novin cautioned that “losing population is a concern” as is “the shortage of labour.”

Chamber President Colleen Evans wanted to know if B.C. was going to get caught up in a “hyper-competition for workers as the economy rebounds and major projects get underway.” Novin said despite the fact that the economy is not at full capacity “the most important challenge in B.C. is the shortage of labour. We saw that shortage in 2007 and 2008.”

He added that Ottawa has an attitude problem on this issue because it only looks as far as Ontario and consid-

Our View

Low inflation, but ever-increasing taxes Many people wonder why they have such perpetual empty pockets. There is minimal price inflation, interest rates are low, yet at the end of most weeks, there is little left over for extras.

There are several possible explanations, and one of them may We say: Tax rate surprise some people. While it has hikes don’t count been suggested that more people to be financially literate, that against inflation need is only a part of the puzzle. A lack statistics of wage growth for most working people, other than government workers, is another part of the puzzle, but again it only explains a portion of the problem. Perhaps the missing link in the puzzle, which isn’t properly

explained, is just how inflation is calculated.

According to the Bank of Canada, the official inflation rate is based on a basket of consumer goods.

The federal government has been keeping track of prices on that basis since 1914. The first real inflation in Canada took place during the First World War, when prices rose to higher levels because of wartime shortages. Canadians were hit brutally by inflation in the 1970s and 1980s. At one time, interest rates were over 20 per cent — and inflation was close to 14 per cent annually. Those days are long past us now. Inflation has been at low rates for years, and interest rates are much the same. As a result, people have borrowed more money than ever

— much of it to buy homes. Interest costs are thus draining a good portion of peoples’ incomes. But the fact that inflation isn’t being calculated on some of our costs may be an even bigger factor behind our empty pockets. Low official inflation rates mean employers don’t feel the need to give wage increases and governments feel there is plenty of taxing room.

Taxes are not considered inflationary. Thus steady jumps in medical service premiums in B.C. are of no consequence. Nor was the HST, which added tax to many items that formerly only had the GST applied.

In recent years, the biggest contributors to our empty wallets are governments. But they get away with it, because there’s minimal “inflation.”

Teachers care deeply Thanks to Brian Kieran for writing an article about the issues surrounding special needs students.

I would like to clarify some points. Readers may have some misconceptions of how teachers feel because of some statements made in the article. First, teachers have never maintained that special needs students do not make positive contributions to their classes. We all know that every child makes important contributions and is a valued member of a class. Most importantly, we have never made the assumption that the special needs students themselves are the “problem.”

Teachers care deeply about their special needs students and about all the students in their classes. The problem lies with the government’s removal of massive amounts of funding by removing limits on the number of special needs students in each class. This translates into situations where teachers are not able to meet the needs of those students in particular. In addition, they do not feel they can do a good job of meeting the needs of all students in some classes.

We agree with Mr. Longridge that this is an extremely complex issue. It will only get more complex as the Continued on A9 We welcome your opinions on stories and issues published in our pages as well as issues of broader concern encountered elsewhere.

Poverty of politics in British Columbia continues

Tom Fletcher B.C. Views

B.C.’s ritual day of shame over child poverty has come and gone once again, with politicians trading blame and time-worn talking points.

The occasion was an annual gathering staged at the B.C. Teachers’ Federation office in downtown Vancouver. It is organized by First Call, an umbrella group sponsored by the BCTF, the B.C. Government Employees’ Union and a collection of likeminded “anti-poverty activists,” as they describe themselves in their latest report.

The familiar script unfolded. The report misinterprets federal income statistics from two years ago and calls for a long list of uncosted, but hugely expensive measures that they assert will make B.C. the first juris-

diction in human history to eradicate poverty.

A sampling: provide raises for employees and contractors at all levels of government until they are making an unspecified “living wage,” because we all know how public sector workers uniquely suffer from pay and pension inequality.

Raise the minimum wage again and index it to inflation. Establish universal public dental care, prescription drug and eye care programs, and daycare. (Dismiss targeted programs that already provide this.)

Raise welfare rates and expand eligibility for employment insurance.

Cut tuition and provide more student grants. Eliminate homelessness.

And so it continues toward a social-

ist Utopia and certain bankruptcy for provincial and federal governments already deeply in the red.

I wrote about these numbers when Statistics Canada released them back in June. They showed a modest improvement nationally and provincially in what they measure, which is not poverty, but the relative relationship between income groups. First Call dismisses that improvement as “a dismal record.”

My point is not to deny that there are many poor people in B.C. and Canada. There are. But at this point we don’t even have a reliable way of measuring the problem, let alone effective solutions.

The report states: “Statistics Canada said the child poverty rate in Greater

Vancouver was 18.4 per cent in 2010 …” No, Statistics Canada didn’t say that. They said what they always say, that “Low-Income Cut-Off,” or LICO figures, are not an accurate measure of poverty.

The political response was equally predictable. Veteran NDP MP Libby Davies led the charge in Ottawa.

The government must establish a national anti-poverty strategy with firm annual goals, she said, reciting the identical script of the B.C. NDP. Davies didn’t mention that Manitoba is among the provinces with such a plan. It’s the only province that finished below B.C. in the percentage of children living in low-income homes. These plans are mainly gesContinued on A9

Teachers: District not to blame Continued from A8

How about injecting some sense?

government has indicated it intends to remove all designations in the future. We hope that by making it a political issue in the upcoming election, the public and the politicians will be more aware of the situation, and this will result in some relief for the long suffering students and teachers who have not been adequately supported over the last decade.

In our presentation to the School Board and to our DPAC, we made it clear that we do not blame our district administration who are doing the best they can within their budget. But we asked the trustees, senior administrators, and parents to join us in taking every possible opportunity to highlight the issue of adequate funding to allow reasonable limits on special needs students in classes, so that every child will have an opportunity to have their needs met.

Elaine Thompson, President, Campbell River District Teachers’ Association

Can we please have some common sense injected into the new hospital plans before it’s too late?

Press headlines ask “Has VIHA underestimated the number of beds needed?” Well it’s not rocket science is it? If residents of Campbell River can see this how is it that those charged with forward planning, that cost $3 million, cannot see it.

When I moved here in 2010, one of the reasons I chose Campbell River was the projected new hospital. The fact that it was being built alongside the existing building made me think that the new part would be linked to make one large building. I was totally gobsmacked to find out that was not going to happen, have these people taken leave of their senses?

We are an aging population, more

FOLLOW US ON...

and more retirees are moving to this beautiful area, to spend millions of dollars on a new hospital with so few extra beds is not only crazy but irresponsible. For goodness sake folks, this is your future health care here, make your views known before it’s too late, clearly those in charge of this project don’t have a clue.

We must have the standard of health care provision that we, the taxpayers, deserve.

Now is the time to get this right we won’t get another chance to be proactive we must insist the present beds in the present hospital be retained or we will all have to live with this monumental cock up for decades to come.

Fletcher: Relocation incentive is needed

Continued from A8 ture politics, providing the appearance of action.

Social Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux spoke on behalf of the B.C. Liberal government, and she, too, stuck to a familiar script. The best path out of pov-

erty is a job, she said.

This is true, but also obvious.

Then Cadieux went on about the “B.C. Jobs Plan,” which has its own sorry record of misrepresented federal statistics. Here’s one of the report’s more blindingly obvious section headings: “Child

poverty concentrated in big cities.” No kidding. The whole population is concentrated in big cities. Herein lies a clue that is missed by “activists” for ever-larger government. Poor people are increasingly crowded into the most expensive places. If I’m on

welfare or working in a low-wage job and receiving a provincial rent subsidy (one of those things LICO d o e s n’ t m e a s u re ) , should I live in downtown Victoria or Vancouver? Shouldn’t I relocate to a smaller c o m m u n i t y wh e re housing is cheaper?

There are lots of complications to this, but some kind of incentive to relocate could help big and small communities.

One day strike at adult care facility The Campbell River and District Adult Care Society on Larwood Road in Willow Point was behind a picket line Friday as members of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union (UFCW) Local 1518 raised the stakes in their dispute over wages and benefits.

The rotating job action was moving to the Richmond Kinsmen Adult Day Care today, Wednesday.

“The CBA has a strong strike mandate backing members’ demands for a fair deal, and they will continue working hard on behalf of members to ensure a fair and reasonable wage offer for its 14,000 members who have been at the bargaining table since January,” the union spokeswoman says.

Managing Your Money

If you’re in a common-law relationship, it’s becoming more “common”. The latest Census ¿gures show that the number of Canadian common-law couples rose 13.9% between 2006 and 2011 – that’s about 4 ½ times the rate of growth for married couples (at 3.1%)1.

Your professional advisor can tell you the speci¿c ¿nancial issues relating to common-law relationships. Here are 10 to consider: 1. According to the federal Income Tax Act, a couple is considered to be in a common-law relationship if they have lived together in a conjugal relationship for a period of twelve months or have lived together for a shorter time but are raising a child together. For income tax purposes, they are treated the same as a married couple.

2. If you meet the test for being considered a commonlaw couple under the Income Tax Act (Canada), be sure to ¿le your income tax returns as a couple. Filing as individual could result in consequences related to ¿ling a false return, and could also potentially result in the loss of various federal bene¿ts, including the CPP survivor bene¿t.

3. The law in many provinces does not give common-law couples the same rights as married couples. For example, in Alberta, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Québec and the Yukon, common-law partners whose relationship breaks down do not have any statutory right to a division of property, no matter how long they have lived together.

Consider writing down your intentions regarding a potential division of assets in a cohabitation agreement.

Attach your agreement to a list of each partner’s assets and personal effects.

5. Discuss how much you expect to spend, save and invest and who will manage your shared ¿nances, including paying the bills and splitting household expenditures.

6. Make sure you each have a valid will that reÀects your rights to property division in your province of residence. Given the frequency of changes in the law in this area, it’s crucial that you speak to your legal and ¿nancial advisors regularly and update as required.

7. Review and revise as necessary the bene¿ciaries for your life insurance policies and registered investment plans.

8. Designate a power of attorney to act for you should you become mentally

9. If you have children from a previous relationship, be sure that they are included in your estate plan. Leaving everything to your new spouse through direct bene¿ciary designations could inadvertently disinherit your children. You should speak to your legal and ¿nancial advisors to ensure your children are covered.

Vice-principal dresses up as a woman for Variety KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

It was a day Carihi students won’t soon forget.

Their vice-principal, Laird Ruehlen, came to school last Friday dressed as a woman, complete with a black dress, blond curly hair and a long, flowing white feather boa.

It wasn’t Halloween rather the fallout from being on the losing end of a fundraising campaign to help one of his students.

Nick King, who’s fundraising efforts for Variety-The Children’s Charity were profiled in the Mirror in September, challenged his fellow students at Carihi to a coin drive.

The result?

“Gals challenged the guys, with the losing team seeing a staff member dress up as the opposite sex for a day,” said Juli Winstanley, Skills For Life staff. “ Vi c e - P r i n c i p a l Laird Ruehlen ador ned a dress, stockings, wig, and a boa much to the delight of students and staff.”

More importantly, King raised $200

Rod Brind’Amour Arena celebrates 40th anniversary KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Strathcona Gardens staff went back to the 70s last Friday to celebrate a milestone at Rod Brind’Amour Arena.

Dressed in period garb, staff mingled with and entertained a modest crowd that turned out to mark the arena’s 40th anniversary.

Staff and arena supporters alike reminisced over scrap books, old photo albums, snacks and complimentary root beer floats. A short ice show courtesy of the Campbell River Skating Club wrapped up the afternoon entertainment.

Bob and Linda Brind’Amour were on hand to celebrate the arena, named after their son Rod Brind’Amour, the former NHL standout who played for the St. Louis Blues, and Philadelphia Flyers before wrapping up his career with the Carolina Hurricanes with whom he won a Stanley Cup in 2006.

Sears Unveils Refreshed Hometown Store 3X14

in Campbell River Sears Canada today opened a refreshed Hometown Store in Campbell River, BC as part of its commitment to offering customers better service, selection and convenience. The store is located at 1300C Homewood Road and is owned and operated by Norm Potoski.

The 15,000 sq ft store will house a wide selection of major appliances, mattresses, lawn and garden and electronics including Sears exclusive brands Kenmore and Craftsman and has been completely renovated.

“We are personally committed to accommodating our customers’ wants and needs and providing them with an enjoyable and satisfying shopping experience,” says Potoski. “Customers will be delighted with the broad range of top-quality products Sears has provided for our refreshed store.”

“Norm has been involved as the local Sears hometown dealer owner in Campbell River for close to 6 years. He brought with him a wealth of retail management experience at a couple of other retailers for over 24 years. His store supports a number of charities including the local Kinsman Telethon, Rod Brindamour Cystic Fibrosis Golf Tournament, B.C. Salmon Festival, B.C. Lions society-children with disabilities, as well as the Sears Tree of Wishes program. He also is the treasurer of the local north island Snowmobile Association.

While the Hometown Store is locally owned and operated, all merchandise sold is supported by Sears satisfaction guarantee, as well as Sears extensive Parts and Service Division, the largest service network in Canada. In addition, the store features Sears and third party credit card acceptance. Sears has installed systems that enable purchases made through the Hometown Store to be reserved immediately and delivery dates arranged according to each customer’s preference.

“We’ve come up with a winning formula for consumers in Campbell River”, continued Potoski “by combining the national resources of Sears with the local service of your neighbour - truly the best of both worlds in terms of customer service.”

Sears Canada is a multi-channel retailer with a network that includes 196 corporate stores, 269 hometown dealer stores, 12 home services showrooms, over 1,500 catalogue and online merchandise pick-up locations, 102 Sears Travel offices and a nationwide home maintenance, repair, and installation network. The Company also publishes Canada’s most extensive general merchandise catalogue and offers shopping online at www.sears.ca.

hockey and public skating – and the leisure ice were built. At the same time, the front lobby was added on as was the leisure pool, making Strathcona Gardens Recreation Complex what it is today. That project effectively connected the original pool and the already existing Rod Brind’Amour Arena.

The compressor room was then rebuilt in 2009.

In April 2013 the arena is expected to undergo a

$968,000 major renovation project to replace the brine line system, cement pad and dasherboards. The arena floor and brine lines are currently on the brink of failure and if the concrete slab fails, it will be impossible to keep ice in the rink. Construction is expected to last from April to September of 2013 and the five-month closure is expected to cost the Strathcona Regional District approximately $22,000 in revenue.

CROSSWORD 7x14

CROSSWORD

The week of Nov. 25 – Dec. 1, 2012

ARIES With the full moon you field a lot of criticism and you may have to deal with some people who do not express themselves very clearly. You manage a complicated family affair with skill.

TAURUS You could receive quite a large sum of money, such as an insurance claim or an inheritance.

You may have to assert yourself and put up some good arguments in order to obtain it.

GEMINI You are a real bundle of energy and manage to be everywhere at once. Try to get some exercise or you may have to fork out some money for health reasons.

CANCER You have a great many ideas and concerns on your mind which could mean some sleepless nights for you. You are very inspired by a new career that is starting to take shape for you.

VIRGO Many businesses make a lot of changes at this time of year and you could benefit from this.

You will rise in your company while others will leave.

LIBRA You are truly inspired by the idea of taking a long trip with family members. It’s possible that you will have to do some urgent work at home.

SCORPIO You have to change your plans suddenly this week. You could also be faced with some rather contradictory choices. One of them will put you in the spotlight and is, therefore, the best choice for you.

SAGITTARIUS It is not always easy for you to maintain a balance between the different spheres of your life. A few changes at home will allow you to manage this better. You need to rest more for the sake of your health.

CAPRICORN It’s time to revamp your professional goals. You are thinking about starting up your own small home-based business.

AQUARIUS You are in a phase of spectacular success. You will distinguish yourself significantly in front of a large number of people. You will receive some kind of reward.

PISCES Your home needs a thorough cleaning. Tidying up your surroundings will lead to a clearer understanding of what is on your mind. There seems to be quite a bit of confusion within the family.

Global craft fair supports free trade The holiday season is fast approaching – that time of year when we begin to think about what to buy for those lucky people on our list.

Most of us want to purchase items that will be appreciated, are a little bit different and won’t be forgotten when the holiday season is over.

Why not consider coming to the Fair Trade Global Craft Fair?

This festive event will be held in the Timberline Secondary School gym this Saturday from 10 a.m.

- 4 p.m.

Enjoy shopping for unique and beautiful items while supporting fair trade and environmentally sustainable projects around the world.

This is the fifth year

the fair has been held at Timberline – the event has been well attended and each year it grows in popularity.

Vendors who have attended in past years have been thrilled with the wonderful support they have received for their products and services from the people of Campbell River.

This year, more than 20 vendors will be participating.

They will be selling products from many different countries.

ShantiUganda, a Por t Moody-based organization that supports the well-being of birthing mothers and women living with HIV/AIDS in Uganda, will be selling beaded jewelry and a variety of sewn items including yoga bags.

Above, Dorothy, a woman from Uganda, is paid a fair wage for the baskets she produces. Above right, a Bangladeshi woman makes a fair wage by making Christmas ornaments that are purchased by Ten Thousand Villages.

ILLEGAL DUMPING Whatever happened to respect for your neighbourhood?

Rather than use the free curb side pickup service, some people prefer to dump their yard waste on nearby vacant lots. This one is in the Ocean Grove area. There is another on Galerno. There are bylaws against this. Has the City ever issued a ticket or enforced cleanup? Perhaps someone with a pickup truck would help the perpetrator take it to a compost site where it could be dropped off, also for free.

Anyone with information on the person/s who illegally dumped these items can call

Theatre Quadra will present Sleeping Beauty on stage at the Quadra Island Community Centre Nov. 30, Dec. 1-2.

Written by Darcy Mitchell and directed by Candace Holmes with music direction by Linda Cannon, Sleeping Beauty is a rollicking comedy in the British pantomime tradition.

Not to be confused with mime, pantomimes feature singing, dancing, high drama, low villains, talking animals and much audience participation. Pantomime plots are based (rather loosely) on a fairy tale or other well-known story, with the hero played by a girl or young woman, and the comic female lead – “the Dame” – by a man. Theatre Quadra’s version of Sleeping Beauty has all of the panto elements, plus a few unusual twists and turns.

Performances are Nov. 30 and Dec. 1 (curtain at 7:30 p.m., doors open 7 p.m.) and a Sunday matinee on Dec. 2 (curtain at 2 p.m., doors open 1:30 p.m.). Tickets are $15 advance/$17 at the door for adults and $5/$7 for children under 12, and are available at Hummingbird Office and Art Supply in Quathiaski Cove, Works of H’Art in Heriot Bay, and the Music Plant in Campbell River.

So, you think you know meditation

A sampler of meditation methods is being offered by the Centre for Spiritual Living, starting on Monday, December 3 at 6 p.m.

Unlike “branded” meditation courses, this eight-week course will survey eight different meditation techniques, offering instruction and experience in each one, so participants can choose which ones are most appealing to them personally.

Entitled “Medita-

tion is More than You Think,” and facilitated

by Spiritual Director Jill Brocklehurst, the course will cover methods based in colour, guided imagery, breathing, movement, writing, chanting, mantra, and Big Mind.

The many physiological and mental benefits of meditation have recently been confirmed scientifically, inspiring increased interested in learning to meditate. Results of a regular medita-

tion practise have been shown to include increased awareness and concentration, lowered blood pressure and stress levels, better digestion, and improved memory.

Course fee is $200, and financial assistance is available. The course will meet at the Centre for Spiritual Living classroom, #20, 964 Shoppers Row. To register, or for more information, call (250) 850 3064 or e-mail centre@csl.cr.ca.

The Centre for Spiritual Living is conducting an eight-week meditation course entitled Meditation Is More Than You Think.

Campbell River families living with the impact of dementia are also coping with stigma, according to a new study.

Nearly three-quarters of people with dementia,

and 64 per cent of family caregivers, believe there are negative associations for those diagnosed with dementia, says Alzheimer’s Disease International.

NWSK captures five Karate B.C. titles N o r t h we s t S h i t o K a i ’s c o m p e t i t ive karate team attended the 21st annual Karate BC (KBC) Provincial Championships held on the BCIT Campus in Burnaby Nov. 17-18.

It was the largest KBC provincials in history.

And NWSK’s team of 12 had a stellar showing, finishing fourth over all in the province, with a total medal count of five Gold, three Silver and three Bronze.

Cohan Caflisch of the 8/9 year old intermediate boys division put on the club’s strongest performance do date at the provincials, coming home with three gold medals and one silver.

Caflisch was joined by teammates Kyle Barnes and Alexander Movold in the same division of 15 boys.

In the Kata (Forms) event, NWSK claimed three of the top four places with Bar nes ear ning the fourth place bronze, Movold in the third place position and Caflisch coming out on top with the BC title.

The three boys then padded up for Kumite (Free Sparring).

Cohan Caflisch kicks Kyle Barnes when the two Campbell River competitors met in gold medal match of the provincial Karate championships.

Movold was paired with a tough competitor from Maple Ridge in his first match and after a hard fought bout he did not advance to the second round.

Barnes and Caflisch on the other hand, fought their way into the final and met each other in the gold medal match. The outcome was a decisive 6-0 victory for Caflsch. Leaving NWSK in the 1 and 2 positions. The three

boys also competed together in the Team Kata (Synchronized Forms) event, where they finished second to a very strong team from Burnaby. Caflisch finished off his day with yet another gold medal performance in the 10 and under Weapons Kata division.

Caflisch was joined by teammate Jenna Scott in the group who wound up taking the Silver medal. Scott

also gave a fantastic performance in her respective Kata division earning a silver medal in the girls 8/9 Intermediate group.

Liam Gauthier and Daniel Wood are NWSK’s other BC titleholders. Gauthier took first place in the Boys 7 and Under Kata Category and Wood was the champion in the boys 8 & 9 Novice division.

Killer Whales shine

on top in every competition they have entered this year and are progressing at a phenomenal rate.” Says NWSK Sensei and Head Coach Nigel Nikolaisen.

Allsion Guilderson, NWSK’s team Captain and new Black Belt put on her best performance to date in her six years as a competitor.

She earned herself a third place bronze medal in the Girls 16/17 Elite BC Team Division. Since the start of the season Guilderson has put in many hours of hard work, showing up to the club with any free moment she has had.

Her determination and leadership has been unmatched in the NWSK dojo as of late.

Team NWSK had some other very strong showings and personal bests last weekend: ■ Jordan Hennig Boys 14/15 Elite Kata.

■ Chandra Rowden Girls 14/15 Elite Kata.

■ Matthew Storback Boys 12/14 Intermediate Kata and Kumite.

■ Gracie Dashkewytch Girls 7 and Under N ov i c e K a t a a n d Kumite.

■ Nolan Barnes Boys 7 and Under Kumite.

The Campbell River Killer Whales Swim club travelled to Langley to take part in the Invitational swim competition.

The meet consisted of teams from throughout the province. The local group of 28 swimmers raced hard, placing sixth overall among 13 teams.The team experienced “team travel” for the first time this season, travelling , eating , and residing as a team. This proved to be a great learning experience and one that the entire team will never forget.

In the 10 and under category, Avery Moskal, Gage Windle and Jasmine Skuse all turned in podium performances. Jasmine raced to gold in the 100 Breastroke earning a new meet record along the way.

“Her race ranked her No. 2 in Canada, which is an awesome accomplishment,” said coach Dave Healy.

In the 11&12 category, qualifying and racing in finals were Cailyn Collis and Megan Wilson.

“Cailyn and Megan have been working very hard this season , and their recent success is indicative of their hard work,” said Healy. The group of 13&14 year old swimmers making finals were Jenna Beaudin, MacKenzie Padington, Connor Skuse and James Sidhu. All four swimmers swam at a high level qualifying for finals in what is arguably the toughest age group. Not be outdone were solid finalist performances put in by David Palmer, Connor Milligan, and Maddy Kowalko in the 15 and over category. David was a podium performer and Connor Milligan impressed with his continued improvement.

“Our group of older swimmers performed admirably,” said Healy, “we need to build on our successes and keep the momentum going.”

Club record swims were put in by Jasmine Skuse in the 100 Breastroke and by Padington in the 200 Breastroke.

The competition schedule is very busy for the Killer Whales. Next up is a meet in Comox, followed by a meet hosted here in Campbell River on Dec 2.

All About

Starlight Shopping....

By Jan Tees, BIA Events Coordinator jantees@hotmail.com

For the past 14 years the Campbell River Downtown Business Improvement Area (BIA) has held an event called Starlight Shopping which marks the beginning of the holiday season. This year the event is scheduled for Friday, November 30th when downtown will come alive! Shoppers Row, Tyee Plaza, 11th Avenue and Pier Street businesses will decorate their windows and stores. Most stores are open until 11:00 pm offering special promotions, hot mulled cider, hot chocolate, cookies or appetizers to name a few – a thank you for choosing to shop Downtown.

Entertainment in Spirit Square will feature Doug Folkins, Cat & the B-Sides, Shoo Shoo the Clown and the Willow Point “Old School Jugglers”. To keep everybody toasty there will be a fire pit compliments of Spirit Square Manager, Jim Creighton.

Pacifica Ukes, Carihi Composition, Salvation Army Brass Band, Job’s Daughters, the Girl Guides and Detailed Face Painting will liven up the Tyee Plaza with music, face painting, taffy pulling, hot chocolate and cookie decorating. Children will enjoy pictures with Santa, free glow sticks, candy canes, reindeer hats and colouring books. The tantalizing aromas of warm mini-donuts, Kettle Korn, salmon barbeque and tacos will fill the air.

street from Spirit Square and you can enjoy music and coffee at Nesbitt’s Island Coffee and dancing by Raincoast Creative in the Tidemark Courtyard. The Library and Tidemark Theatre will be lit up this year compliments of the Downtown BIA. Kicking off the evening is the much anticipated, ever popular Big Truck Parade sponsored by 97.3 the Eagle!

There is nothing like watching these rolling works of art, the parade is magical. Again this year, we have over 30 participants taking the time and making the effort to become involved. We have trucks of all description - antique fire trucks, dump trucks, semi trailers, crane trucks, tow trucks, a school bus, cement mixers and trucks towing boats.

info@crdowntownbia.com Starting at 5:00pm from the bottom of Rockland Road and the Island Highway the trucks will travel along Highway 19A and finish at Tyee Plaza at approximately 6:00pm. Intersections at Rockland Road, 1st, 2nd , 3rd , 5th , 6th, St. Ann’s, 10th , 11th and 13th will be temporarily closed so please select an alternate route.

On board the last truck driven by the Campbell River Fire Department will be the Big Guy himself - Santa. With Santa will be a lucky boy or girl who won the opportunity through the Eagle to not only ride in the fire truck but also to help light up the big Sequoia Tree in the Plaza.

Councillor Andy Adams will be front and center as your emcee for the opening ceremonies at 6:00 in Spirit Square. Join us for this fantastic, fun and familyfriendly Christmas in Downtown Campbell River - you won’t be disappointed!

Take a stroll over to the Art Gallery and learn how to create home- made Christmas cards, or head up 11th Avenue and check out the inviting shops. Wander along Shoppers Row and enjoy the new Christmas lighting of red nd 3rd 5th 1st 2 10th 11th 13th and green set off by white th St. Ann’s 6 snowflakes. Stop in at Shot in the Dark and listen to the Tyee Plaza music of Fiftieth Parallel.

The Pacifica Ukes ukulele ensemble from Campbell River is a unique musical group which has earned a reputation both locally and abroad for their versatility and quality of their musical performances, most recently this past summer on a tour to Kona, Hawaii.

The “Pacifica Ukes” are students from the Campbell River school district, ranging from grades 6 to 12. The ensemble is an “honor” group, and students are selected through an audition process based on their musical skills on the ukulele and voice.

The group has performed extensively at local schools, at various local public events and venues, and throughout Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. The Senior “A” Ensemble has made its mark in the

The Carihi Composition The Carihi Composition” is an umbrella name for a group made up of students from Carihi Secondary’s Music Composition and Technology course. The course itself offers music students the chance to compose, record and produce their own music using state of the art technology. It is a wonderful chance for young people to engage in a semi-professional manner with the music industry.

Two singer/songwriting duos will make up the group for this year’s Starlight Shopping event. Jemima Hamilton and Erin Marsh make up the first, while Hailey Dean and Liah Windrim compose the second. Both duos will play a combination of original and cover material.

Doug Folkins Doug Folkins is a Celtic singer/songwriter and storyteller with a modern twist. He’s perfectly happy to sing for friends at a kitchen party or down at the local pub, but he’s also set his sights on becoming a renowned songwriter crafting hits for other artists. “ C e i l i d h ” (pronounced “Kay-Lee”) is Folkins’ 6th CD. “This disc is a collection of some of my favorite Celtic songs from the East Coast, Ireland and Scotland plus a few of my originals” says Folkins. “We recorded most of the songs in my kitchen on a stormy Sunday afternoon in January” said Doug. Doug says that he is very proud of the CD. “It sounds great with lots of energy without being over produced”. Many local musicians lend their

talents to the project with fiddles, bagpipes, tin whistles, mandolins as well as drums, bass, guitars and vocals.

Folkins has spent the last 13 years, writing, playing and producing his own material. Doug is able to blend traditional Celtic influences, Country twang and Pop Jangle to create a fresh sound that is as comfortable as your favorite pair of jeans. He is a serious musician who takes time to whittle down each song to the most essential elements necessary to make melodic and emotional connections between his songs and the listeners.

MYSTIC EARTH

(excluding (e excludin ng ssole olle IItems) tem ms)

With a second summer of festival performances under their belt, Fiftieth Parallel have again hit the studio – you can expect a variety of new music to be available for the holiday season.

A 1986 camper van is now their primary method of travel and they have been perfor ming at venues up and down Vancouver Island and the surrounding gulf islands.

Playing almost entirely original material, Fiftieth Parallel have been forming their own unique style of progressive acoustic music. Drawing inspiration from artists such as John Butler and the late Michael Hedges, and combining it with the contagious West Coast vibe.

❄ ❄ ❄

Despite being only a duo – Phil Marchand on acoustic guitar, and Jonathan Hinds on acoustic guitar and percussion – Fiftieth Parallel have made a name for themselves with their big acoustic sound.

Their performances have proven this at Big Time Out and Cortes Island music festivals over the last two summers.

Weapon Of The Future – their debut full-length album – was recorded and released in late 2011 and can be found at locations across Vancouver Island. Expect new music from this duo as well as a project featuring a much anticipated vocalist.

Buying local makes for the best gifts of all Making the choice to support your local economy by buying local makes sense all year round, but it is especially important to do at Christmas time.

Buying local allows you to give unique gifts while making sure that the businesses run by your neighbours can stay alive.

Hostess gifts, such as baskets of delicious local products or items created by local artisans, are particularly charming. And when entertaining, you’ll be sure to impress your guests by featuring the tastiest and most unusual products of your area. By doing this you’ll be encouraging local producers and limiting the greenhouse gas emissions generated by the transportation of products.

Buying local is also advantageous in the family gift-giving department. Just think about the prohibitive price of the gas you’d need to go on shopping trips to the big malls and far-away city centres, never mind having to return to these places to exchange unsuitable gifts. Indeed, for clothing, choose gifts from stores closer to home so that if the size isn’t right or your teenager doesn’t agree with your tastes in

Check Realty

style, you won’t have to go far to remedy the problem once the holidays are over.

Promoting the prosperity of local businesses also means maintaining employment levels or even creating new jobs for yourself, your neighbours, and young adults. When you support the businesses that make the goods you buy and the stores that sell them, it means lower unemployment rates, greater purchasing power, and a more tightly knit community.

Over 100 businesses belong to the downtown BIA. With more than 600 people employed, it is the third largest employment sector in Campbell River.

So, as Christmas approaches, give your community and yourself the most beautiful gift of all: buy local.
