Directors don’t want to pass the buck ... to themselves KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

An outside consultant will recommend a new pay rate for Strathcona Regional District officials after some directors decided they are uncomfortable setting their own wages.

Last month Maurice Lamb of Lamb and Associates reviewed the regional district’s remuneration bylaw, which sets directors’ wages, but his report did not include a clear enough recommendation for some directors who want better instruction.

Brenda Leigh, director for Area D, said it would be inappropriate for board members to decide each others’ salaries.

“It will get ugly. It will fracture our board,” Leigh said at a board meeting Jan. 24. “I don’t want to set my own pay. I want my pay to be according to what’s fair around the province. I don’t want to set my own pay and I don’t want anyone around this board to set it for me.”

Director Mary Storry, also a Campbell River city councillor, suggested the board invite Lamb back to present a clear recommendation to the board at a special Committee of the Whole meetContinued on A2

chase. Customers may visit the Campbell River Save-on-Foods store any time to donate 1,000 More Rewards points to generate $1 for the Foundation. Store manager Dave Madiuk has committed to matching each donation.

Volunteer dinner chairman and publisher of Island Fisherman magazine, Larry E. Stefanyk, visited the store in January to unveil the new program. Several fun in-store activities were featured, including a spin the wheel promotion and a fly tying demonstration.

“Save-on-Foods is a great partner for us to become involved with because their mandate to give back to the communities in which their stores are located aligns with our community based, volunteeroriented programming,” said Stefanyk.

In 2012, Pacific Salmon Foundation granted $6,750 to three salmon projects in the Campbell River

region. Since 1990, more than $790,000 has been directed into 109 projects in the area.

Through local fundraising efforts and community partnerships, volunteers have leveraged that funding to equal a total value of more than $5.5 million.

The Foundation’s annual Campbell River Dinner & Auction will be held at the Fraternal Order of Eagles Hall.

This year’s event will be Caribbean themed (costumes encouraged but not required). The evening will kick off at 5:30 p.m. with a cocktail reception and silent auction, followed by dinner at 7 p.m. and a live auction at 8:30 p.m.

It will feature delicious seafood appetizers, a gourmet buffet dinner, and exciting raffles and auctions.

The event is nearly sold out, but if you are interested in purchasing tickets or supporting the Pacific Salmon Foundation, contact Stefanyk at 250-923-0939 or ifmm@ shaw.ca.

Pay: Directors’ work ‘so unappreciated’ Continued from A1 ing. That motion was passed by the board but not all directors were in agreement.

Coun. and Director Larry Samson said it was shirking their responsibilities.

“I’m opposed to the motion,” he said. “To me this is just passing the buck and getting someone else to make our decision for us.

Here’s the information and we have to take the information and make our decision on the best information available.”

That information was compiled in Lamb’s report and was generated partly through individual interviews and consultation with each individual board member.

Leigh said part of the process was identifying the roles and responsibilities of each director.

“I gave Mr. Maurice Lamb a report on the work that I do and he knows how hard an electoral area director works, the workload is obviously heavy,” Leigh said. “Remunerationwise we’re so unappreciated. If my constituents knew what I was

PEOPLES

making they would be appalled. I don’t do it for the money.”

According to the Strathcona Regional District’s 2011 Financial Statements, re gional directors made the following salaries: Craig Anderson ($49,062), Jim Abram ($32,477), Gerald Whalley ($28,348), Noba Anderson ($27,615), Leigh ($27,493), Ted Lewis ($17,528), Claire Mo glove ($14,618), Storry ($13,643), John MacDonald ($13,618), Ryan Mennie ($1,349), Andy Adams ($1,224) and Jude Schooner ($719). Schooner did not serve a full year as it was an election year and therefore didn’t take office until December 2011.

Lamb said in his report the Strathcona Regional District is in the top 75 per cent of B.C. regional district pay rates.

Adams said a provincial comparison is helpful but added he would rather see a B.C.-wide pay rate established by one official body.

“The problem I have is when you have a bunch of consultants going around getting varying figures,” he

said. “I would be more of an advocate of going through AVICC (Association of Vancouver Island and Coastal Communities) or UBCM (Union of B.C. Municipalities) to get a benchmark established for regional districts province-wide.”

Storry agreed.

“I think we should pursue UBCM,” she said, adding that having Lamb return to present a recommendation to the board doesn’t mean what he suggests has to be adopted.

“We’re asking him to give us a recommendation,” Storry said. “It doesn’t mean we’re going to take it. It’s just to start the discussion.

We’re not shrugging our responsibility to our electorate, we’re just finding a place to start.”

It may, however, be difficult for Lamb to come up with a clear recommendation as Lamb notes there is a lack of consistency and logic around the province when it comes to regional district pay levels.

“As a result it is difficult to make a recommendation on changing remuneration levels in Strathcona Regional District based solely on survey data,” Lamb writes in his report.

“Therefore it is recommended that position

profiles be developed that would assist the board and the public with a clear understanding of the role and responsibilities of the three positions held as a regional district board member.”

Having said that, Lamb is recommending the Strathcona Regional District adopt pay levels comparable to the Central Kootenay Regional District – the highest in the province.

Auxiliary firefighters among lowest paid in B.C. KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Campbell River’s volunteer firefighters are getting a $2 an hour raise.

Wages for Campbell River auxiliaries, which are among the lowest in the province, will increase from $11.25 to $13.25 for firefighters while volunteer officers’ wages are going up from $11.50 to $13.50.

Fire Chief Ian Baikie said it works out to be a $25 monthly increase and $300 more a year based on an auxiliary firefighter’s normal workload of 150 hours annually. The raise sets a typical yearly wage for a volunteer firefighter at $1,987.50 a year. Baikie said he felt the increase was “really well-deserved” considering the work the members put in.

After the officer arrested the youth, he checked the boy’s backpack and found four cans of spray paint. The young man’s handiwork is similar to graffiti found in other areas of the city and, as a result, the teen is facing multiple charges of mischief.

Robbery suspect sought by police Police are looking for a man who stole two air fresheners from a gas station and assaulted the female clerk.

The incident occurred Feb. 1, around 6:30 p.m., at the Shell Gas Station in Willow Point, at the corner of the

POLICE BEAT Island Highway and Erickson Road.

The clerk saw the man take the two air fresheners and when he went to the counter to pay for other items, she, “challenged him to pay for the air fresheners,” said RCMP Cpl. Poppy Hallam.

According to police, the man grabbed the woman and tried to pull her over the counter.

He then threw an object at her and fled in his vehicle.

The Caucasian man is described as 6’1”, 200 pounds with a shaved head. He fled

in a black compact SUV, described as a Geo Tracker or Suzuki Sidekick.

Anyone with information is asked to contact RCMP or Crime Stoppers.

Broken business windows Police are investigating two incidents of commercial vandalism in the downtown area.

“We’ve been recruiting intently for a number of years and we’ve been having great success with both maintaining our standards and maintaining our people,” Baikie said.

City Manager Andy Laidlaw said volunteers are key to the city as they help keep costs down for fire – a vital city service that takes up $4.6 million in the city’s 2013 base budget before the wage increase is factored in.

Coun. Andy Adams said council wanted to recognize the important role the firefighters play.

“If you are going away, please see that friends or family check on your house regularly, take in the mail and newspapers, turn on lights, turn on radios or televisions, and change the routine daily,” said RCMP Cpl. Poppy Hallam.

we could move towards the provincial standard over time,” he said.

The increase will cost the city $15,340 in the 2013 budget, which translates to a $1.39 residential tax increase for the average assessed household, but councillors felt a raise was well worth it.

“Beyond the job that they do for almost nothing, the auxiliaries are definitely an important part of the firefighting service we have in our community,” Coun.

Ryan Mennie said.

“It’s an ongoing issue to find them and keep them. I know this is a small piece to helping with that.”

Baikie noted that Campbell River has a great deal of success in recruiting volunteers.

Cape Mudge prepares for big announcement PAUL RUDAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The long-time Chief Councillor of the We Wai Kai Nation has been re-elected.

Ralph Dick is back again to lead the nineperson Cape Mudge

Band Council while Kim Duncan is the lone new councillor.

The other incumbents re-elected Jan. 31 to four-year terms are Brian Assu, Ted Assu, Keith “Sonny” Wilson, Jody Wilson-Raybould, Ted Lewis, Cindy Inrig

and Daniel Billy.

The We Wai Kai Nation has about 500 members mainly living on the reserves at Cape Mudge on Quadra Island and Quinsam in Campbell River.

Approximately 500 other band members

live off reserve.

In the last few years, the band council has focussed its business interests on developing Quinsam Crossing commercial park and the scallop farm located off the east side of Quadra Island.

And one of its biggest business ventures is expected to be finalized and formally announced this month.

The band, along with the Campbell Riverbased Pallan group, has formed the Middle

Point Harbour Limited Partnership.

The port facility, located just north of the city, is already home to the Quinsam Coal storage and loading facility, but the new partners envision much more.

They plan to expand the port operation, create a wood pellet manufacturing plant, and build a large dry dock and ship repair facility.

Middle Point would also have a commercial marina and log sort.

staff to look at accommodation in suites in homes.”

According to city staff, there are currently 350 legal secondary suites in the city and approximately 250 illegal secondary suites. Osborne said it’s likely there are more than 250 as that figure is based on properties receiving dual waste pick-up and there are likely further illegal suites operating with single waste pick-up.

There are 961 lots in the city that allow single family dwellings with secondary suites.

Residential One, at 83 per cent, represents the majority of lots zoned for single family homes in the city and does not permit

secondary suites. However, Osborne notes secondary suites are encouraged in the Sustainable Official Community Plan.

“If properly regulated, secondary suites can form a valuable component of the housing stock, providing affordable, market-based housing,” Osborne said. Secondary suites can help the owner pay the mortgage and allow families to stay together. For the tenant, the suites provide af fordable housing and a home with easy, ground level access. Osborne said the downside to secondary suites is illegal suites not meeting health and safety standards and an increase

in on-street parking.

Osborne said council should weight the drawbacks and the benefits and may want to reconsider broadening its zoning allowance for secondary suites.

“Given the forthcoming large projects at Campbell River Hospital and John Hart Dam, and the degree of public interest in secondary suites, council may therefore wish to revisit the issue,” Osbor ne said. The issue was on council’s agenda Tuesday night after the Mirror went

to press.

S t e p h e n Wat s o n , spokesperson for BC Hydro, said in November he has already received more than 30 enquiries from people offering their homes and B & Bs to construction crews.

Preliminary estimates by BC Hydro predict the John Hart project will bring an average of 400 jobs per year to Campbell River, with year two likely seeing a peak of nearly 500 jobs. Accommodations for workers are needed anywhere

from five years to a few weeks, depending on the worker’s role.

The BC Hydro project is still undergoing a review by the BC Utilities Commission which should be complete by spring 2013. If the project is approved, the $1.2 billion project could get underway this summer. Project completion is targeted for 2018. The hospital project is currently in the Request for Proposals process and construction is expected to begin either late this year or in early 2014.

The city estimates Campbell River will not have nearly enough rental units available to accommodate hundreds of construction crews that will descend on the community once two major projects get underway, possibly this year.

The city currently has 227 rental units available to rent and of those, the city is predicting roughly 112 will be surplus and available to construction crews working on the new Campbell River hospital and upgrades to the John Hart Dam Generating Station.

The city projects 60 more rental units will become vacant in the first half of 2013, but that will still leave the city short, according to Chris Osborne, the city’s planner.

“Data related to worker accommodation demand from V I H A ( Va n c o u ve r Island Health Authority) and BC Hydro has been requested and is expected to be released in the very near future,” Osborne said in a report to council. “From early discussions however it is anticipated that the likely demand will outstrip the estimated 112

unit capacity for most of the duration of the projects.”

Osbor ne said the city could be short “up to several hundred units.”

He said that opens the door to new residential development projects in the city.

Mayor Walter Jakeway has a different idea.

He’d like to see the city provide opportunities for homeowners to add secondary suites to their homes.

“With major projects coming up, there’s going to be lots of people coming up here,” Jakeway said at a council meeting Aug. 14. “A great way to spread some income around town (would be) to get

More jail time for brazen jewelry heist Thousands of dollars in jewelry stolen PAUL RUDAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A prolific offender will spend more time behind bars for the brazen theft of thousands of dollars in jewelry from a Campbell River pawn shop.

Eddie John Nelson, 37, had already served a six-month sentence for possession of stolen property. Then in Monday, in Campbell River provincial court, he received further jail time for the break and enter.

Crown prosecutor Tim Morgan admitted the case is convoluted, but it’s the result of Nelson being charged in two communities.

It was around 4 a.m., on July 15, 2011, when Nelson was joined

by Tanya Lee Ellis and family members Arthur Michael Nelson and Bruce David Nelson for a well-planned break-in at Campbell River Collateral located at 870 Island Highway.

Using a stolen Dodge Ram pickup, along with chains, the crew pulled off the store door and security bars causing considerable damage.

The culprits were seen fleeing with various good and jewelry valued at approximately $19,000.

C a m p b e l l R ive r RCMP were alerted to the break-in at 4:23 a.m., but the thieves had already fled. Minutes later, police received a report of the suspect vehicle crashing into a Ford Explorer near the intersection of Thulin Street and 5th Avenue.

The caller reported s e e i n g t h re e m e n offloading goods from the pickup to a Chevrolet pickup which had also been stolen.

When officers arrived, they tended to the driver of the Explorer and learned the Chevy and culprits had sped off, heading north on Thulin. Later, the stolen truck was found in the parking

lot by City Hall. “It appears the group responsible for these crimes had prepared in advance, stealing vehicles and parking them at a variety of locations should they be engaged by police,� said RCMP Sgt. Craig Massey, following the break-in. “The reckless efforts to flee the area and disregard for other area residents is of particular concern to police.�

The same day, the proprietor of the Ocean Grove store reported that a set of chains was found in front of their business, suggesting it was also a target location.

The culprits got away, but were caught two weeks later after trying to sell huge amounts of jewelry in Nanaimo.

Police caught up with the thieves and eventually arrested all four who were later convicted of either possession of stolen property or break and enter.

Ellis received a 270day jail sentence while Arthur Nelson got a year. Bruce Nelson received a $500 fine and two years proba-

tion while Eddie Nelson was handed a sixmonth sentence and a year of probation.

H oweve r, d u r i n g sentencing last May, Eddie Nelson had still not been charged with the B&E in Campbell River.

He wound up serving the first sentence, was released on a probation order, but wound up back in jail last month for violating his curfew.

At Monday’s court appearance, Eddie Nelson appeared by video from cells in Victoria.

He pleaded guilty to break and enter, and the breach, and was given an additional four months jail time, less 10 days for time already served.

The sentence was a joint submission from both the Crown and the defence. The court heard that most of the stolen jewelry was recovered.

Eddie Nelson has now accumulated more than 40 convictions for a variety of offences.

He plans to return to his job at Brown’s Bay Packing following his release from jail.

Tourism group set to battle Okisollo loggers and the provincial Liberals PAUL RUDAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Tourism operators who pump millions of dollars into the local economy are preparing a campaign to save the picturesque Okisollo Channel from becoming a clearcut eyesore.

Members of the Discovery Island Marine Tourism Group say their concerns have fallen on the deaf ears of the B.C. Liberal Government and the current logging operations will harm their industry for years. “Gee, I guess it’s time to cut down all the trees,� said Ralph Keller, a spokesman for the group, in musing about the government’s rationale for green-lighting logging.

The tourism lobby group is not against logging, Keller stated, but are opposed to the current logging plans that will ruin magnificent viewscapes and scare away tourists. Keller operates Coast Mountain Expeditions and Discovery Islands Lodge on Quadra Island.

The tourism group is specifically concerned about two new logging operations on Sonora and Maurelle Islands, flanking Hole in the Wall – one of the most scenic areas for boaters and kayakers in the Discovery Islands. One operation is on land belonging to TimberWest while the other was contracted out

by BC Timber Sales. “The government thinks it’s 1955 and the forestry industry is

still king – it’s still important, but in Campbell River we’ve lost two sawmills and the pulp and paper mill,� he said.

And as the forestry industry went into decline, Keller added, the area’s fishing lodges retooled to cater to wildlife- and eco-tourism. This was done at considerable expense, but has resulted in sustained economic growth that contributes millions of dollars annually. “With logging we’re about a few jobs and few benefits for the local economy,â€? he said. “The tourism industry has grown up‌yet our concerns are being ignored.â€?

According to Keller, in 2011, a survey was conducted of 57 tourism-related businesses that operate in and around the Discovery Islands.

The survey indicated the businesses generate approximately $22.3 million in annual revenue and employ more than 600 seasonal and full-time workers. “There is still some salmon fishing, but this is not the larger part of the local tourism economy,� said Keller. “The Discovery Islands are the second largest wilderness tourism destination in B.C. after Tofino and the Pacific Rim.�

The group met twice with Pat Bell, Minister of Jobs, Tourism, and Innovation, and thought its economic clout might interest the pro-business Liberal government.

They were wrong.

History of garden club mystery jug brought to light MORGAN OSTLER SPECIAL TO THE MIRROR

A

basement clean up that unearthed a silver memorial jug has kept some local garden club members puzzled for weeks.

A recent article in the Mirror created a flurry of emails and phone calls that soon resolved the mystery surrounding the trophy. The query began when a local retired pulp mill employee, John Coyle, contacted the chair of the present day Campbell River Garden Club, Elizabeth deMunck.

He told her he had been cleaning up his shelves and discovered the jug in a box along with some other items. They had been given to him by his friend, Bob Smith, many years ago. Prior to his death in 2010, Smith was tidying up some belongings and felt that Coyle would take good care of the boxes’ contents.

When Evelyn Parsons read the article she knew immediately that jug must have been the one her daughter, Shirley Smith, was awarded so many years ago.

“I phoned her immediately and she was

Mystery jug turned up in a box on a shelf belonging to John Coyle. He contacted the Campbell River Garden Club who put the word out to try and identify the item.

An article in the Mirror alerted the daughter of the last person to win the jug.

as surprised as I was that the missing jug had created so much interest.”

Shirley Smith won the silver jug at an award ceremony presided over by the Chamber’s Tourism & Publicity Committee. She was a winner

three years in a row, 1977, 1978, and 1979 when she was a member of the Tyee Garden Club.

“Actually it was known as the Tyee Rose Club and the vase had been passed on to our organization by a previous gar-

den club,” explained Smith.

She said that when the Tyee Rose Club folded she wasn’t aware of a similar organization to which she could pass it on so the jug sat neglected for 37 years.

The Tyee Rose Club

was the successor to the Campbell River Horticultural Association founded in 1956. The minutes of those meetings, now archived at the museum, show that the vase was first presented in 1961 to the board. It had been donated by the Carnegie family in memory of Theo Morison, whose husband Robert was chairperson of the organization. The vase was inscribed Theo Morison Memorial Award. Mrs. Morison had been a nurse at the hospital.

She and her husband owned the garden nursery located on Dogwood St. at the bottom of the Elm Street hill, the present day site of Home Hardware. Smith was pleased that Coyle passed the cup on to this present club. Otherwise she would not have known what had become of her award .

“I’m grateful the club members had made an effort to publicize the existence of the trophy. I would definitely be delighted if the club would reestablish the annual tradition of awarding the trophy to a resident who excelled at gardening,” said Smith.

2X14 COMMUNITY UPDATE FEBRUARY 6, 2013

NOTICE OF PROPOSAL TO RE-ESTABLISH WILLOW POINT BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT AREA The NoƟce is hereby given that the City of Campbell River, in cooperaƟon with the Willow Point Business Improvement Area AssociaƟon (WPBIA), is proposing to re-establish the Willow Point Business Improvement Area for a 5 year term.

Over the past 5 years the owners of Class 6 (Business/ Other) property lying within the Willow Point Business Improvement Area (WPBIA) have paid a “local service tax”.

The tax is collected by the City of Campbell River to be used by the WPBIA to operate a “business promoƟonal scheme”.

The funds raised through the local service tax have enabled the WPBIA to promote Willow Point through markeƟng and beauƟĮcaƟon projects. The boundaries of the WPBIA are deĮned on the following map.

In order for the WPBIA to conƟnue operaƟng, City Council must adopt a new bylaw which would re-establish the WPBIA for 5 years. The AssociaƟon has asked that the bylaw be processed as a “Council iniƟaƟve” under the authority of the Community Charter – Part 7, Division 5.

Under the “Council iniƟaƟve” method, Council may, by bylaw, proceed with the renewal of the WPBIA unless at least 50% of the owners of the parcels that would be subject to the local service tax sign a peƟƟon against, and the persons signing are the owners of parcels that in total represent at least 50% of the assessed value of land and improvements that would be subject to the local service tax.

WPBIA’s proposed budget is: $17,840 in 2013, $18,732 in 2014, $19,668 in 2015, $20,651 in 2016 and $21,685 in 2017, with increases of 5% per year over the next 4 years. In order to raise the funds requested by the WPBIA for 2013, owners of Class 6 property lying within the WPBIA would be required to pay a local service tax at a rate of approximately $1.76 per $1,000 of assessed value of the improvements (buildings) on their property.

Owners of Class 6 property located within the WPBIA boundary, that are opposed to the renewal of the WPBIA, must noƟfy the City in wriƟng no later than March 6, 2013.

InformaƟon relaƟng to the renewal of the Willow Point Business Improvement Area, including copies of the relevant legislaƟon, is available for inspecƟon during business hours (8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.), Monday through Friday at Campbell River City Hall, 301 St. Ann’s Road. InformaƟon can also be obtained by e-mailing tracy.bate@campbellriver.ca, or by calling 250-286-5705. For more informaƟon on the WPBIA’s business promoƟonal scheme please contact WPBIA President, Sandra Allen at (250) 923-3121.

debate and although fluoride use has its critics, the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention consider the introduction of fluoride to improve oral health one of the top 10 great public health achievements of the 20th century.

Dr. Kevin Lathangue Fluoride has a very unique property in that it can replace Calcium in our enamel. So when our teeth are exposed to acid (which is how decay starts) the acid leaches (pulls) calcium out of our enamel thereby weakening our teeth. Fluoride, when available, replaces the calcium in our enamel and makes our teeth more resistant to acid. So, in essence, fluoride makes our teeth stronger because acid from bacteria won’t be as effective at decaying our teeth.

It’s still very important to brush and floss because, even with fluoride replacing our calcium, our teeth are still susceptible to decay. So 2-3 minutes twice a day for brushing and flossing every day is still the Canadian Dental Association recommendation.

Our View

Elected officials wrangle over pay The issue of remuneration for local government representatives came up for debate at the Strathcona Regional District last week.

This issue comes up on a regular basis with every local government, We say: Every be it a municipality or a regional local government district. It never seems to get That’s why Coun. Andy struggles with this resolved.

Adams idea that the province or issue the Union of B.C. Municipalities should set compensation rates for elected officials across the province has merit. That depoliticizes the process and relieves the officials of

the task of having to set their own pay raises; which is really a conflict of interest.

One of the problems is that the compensation is being seen as pay. It’s not actually pay, it’s an honorarium. Local government is a contribution to your community. In many ways it’s like a volunteer job. The pay is designed to cover expenses incurred on behalf of the community and as a thank-you for your dedication. The notion that you should be paid for what you do then starts to influence the reasons why people run for local government and they’re not always the most altruistic.

The SRD board debate has gotten bogged down,

as these bodies always do, on what is appropriate pay. Director Brenda Leigh laments that she doesn’t get adequate compensation for what she does. She probably doesn’t.

You’d be hard pressed to find a harder working local representative in this area. But setting the directors’ compensation level has become focused with who should set that level. Leigh said it shouldn’t be the board, it should be a consultant.

That, however, isn’t right. It should at least be the elected board because they can be held accountable to the public,come election time. With direction from the province.

Gas pump shenanigans From $109.9 to $133.9 per litre in less than a week!

Wow! Isn’t it strange that in just a couple of days, gasoline prices at the Campbell River pumps have jumped over 20 cents per litre?

It seems even stranger since the market price for crude has continued to bounce around $90 a barrel for most of the last year. I don’t remember seeing anything in the news or on TV warning of crude shortages, refinery explosions or anything that might explain the rise. Have you? It is even stranger that within a day or so every service station in town, regardless of its colours, decided to push the price of its gasoline up over a $1 a gallon. And even more surprising is that they managed to do this almost within minutes of each other. So much for competition.

If we really had true competition in this market, you would think that: 1. The timing of price changes would be much less co-ordinated.

2, Price hikes and per litre charges in a community would vary a lot more than they do!

3. And you would expect gasoline prices, at your Continued on A9

Stage set for senate election in British Columbia

Tom Fletcher B.C. Views

Cannon will roar across the Inner Harbour on the morning of Feb. 12 to mark the opening of the 2013 legislature session.

Lieutenant Gover nor Judith Guichon will inspect the troops and present her inaugural Throne Speech, setting out the B.C. Liberal government’s goals for the coming year.

This ritual will kick off a legislative session that is expected to run until March 14, where the official Parliamentary Calendar shows a three-week break for Easter. Debate is unlikely to resume in April, as the election campaign will be in full roar by then.

This means there will be a grand

total of 19 sitting days to push through a budget and a raft of legislation. Here’s my unofficial preview.

The pre-election budget will be presented Feb. 19 by Finance Minister Michael de Jong. Premier Christy Clark has decreed that it must be balanced, and the government has made extra efforts to armour itself against what will likely be the loudest debate ahead.

First, de Jong held a pre-budget meeting of the government’s bluechip forecast council in public. This provided a visual record of what happens every year, when the finance ministry solicits the same sort of independent advice as most competent democracies, and bases its num-

bers on that.

Then the finance ministry hired former Bank of Montreal chief economist Tim O’Neill, who will act as an unofficial version of the parliamentary budget officer in Ottawa. Now that we have simultaneous oversight of child welfare and the police, the next step is to extend it to finance bureaucrats.

Regardless of party, the government has to produce a three-year set of forecasts to replace the current one. A lot of election energy will go into competing claims about who is better at predicting the future.

Another new law to be given high priority is one setting up senate elections, to be run in connection with

the May 14 provincial vote. Alberta pioneered this, and Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s recent round of senate appointments included Calgary lawyer Doug Black, who won an Alberta senate election held last year.

There was no one appointed to replace Gerry St. Germain, who bid an emotional adieu as a Conservative senator for B.C. last year. St. Germain was instrumental in uniting the splintered federal Conservatives, but he reached the mandatory retirement age of 75, having been appointed by Brian Mulroney in 1993 after losing his seat as an MP. Why would this senate reform be so Continued on A9

Campbell Riverites, you are missing out.

Why wasn’t every teacher of dance in Campbell River there with all her students?

Fletcher: Electing senators popular notion

Continued from A8

urgent for the B.C. Liberals now? Well, turnout for the 2009 election fell to around 50 per cent, a record low for a provincial vote. If that downward trend is reversed this year, it will be in large part because people are still

mad enough about the harmonized sales tax and a range of other issues to get off the couch and kick some B.C. Liberal butt.

Electing senators remains a popular notion, especially with older, conservativeminded voters in B.C.

who identified with the Reform Party. The first-ever senate election looks like the best available shot at boosting tur nout among people who are not likely to vote NDP, and who may also be disengaged from provincial politics.

And then there is the provincial sales tax bill. Another kick in the slats for the movie business, for one, and don’t hold your breath for NDP leader Adrian Dix to produce a solution in the wake of his recent trip to Tinsel Town.

The performance of the governing party and the opposition will be scrutinized as never before.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 2013 | CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR |

The collapse of the sale of the mill site leaves Campbell River in a awkward situation.

Obviously the site has some great potential. Existing buildings and great access from water and land are very important to every industry.

The biggest drawback for any buyer will be the potential cost of cleaning up the years of pollutants in the ground. So it is imperative that the city realize this and must work on a solution. The city needs to confront this problem with the environmental gover nment departments to establish what must be done in order for it to become a usable work site. The clean up needs to be clearly defined as to whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s responsible for the cost. Does it need to be done at this time?

There are probably as many suggestions as people in Campbell River. I would like to see Rivercorp take the lead and make it a priority. We, the city of Campbell River, have a lot invested in the mill.

A very valuable property is paying almost no tax.

The concept of renting the various work sites to smaller businesses seems to be the most logical. Since the property is costing Catalyst without any possible revenue they are no doubt a motivated seller (indicated by the

WITH DIABETES, YOUR ODDS AREN'T GOOD. 4FILLER out of 5 people with

price of $8-9 million).

If Rivercor p was to lease the property from Catalyst with the agreement that when portions are rented out Catalyst will get a portion of the rent. I realize this is an oversimplification but the concept the previous buyer had is the most likely to succeed and if city hall does nothing- that is what will happen. Most light industry cannot afford major investment of legal and professional services only to find the costs to be too high.

This is what Rivercorp should be working on.

Too many driveways I am very surprised that there is passing allowed in between Rockland Road and the hill leading into Campbell River where Hidden Harbor is.

I suppose, over 20 years ago, it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t an issue but today it seems

that there are too many driveways turning onto the highway...homes, businesses etc.

Here is a perfect example as to why passing should not be allowed. My boyfriend was waiting to make a left turn onto the highway.

We live on the water side so we have to cross the northbound lane to go south. He was waiting in our driveway to go south. He looked both ways and saw that it was clear to turn into the southbound lane. As he starts to go he suddenly has to go off to the side of the road as a vehicle heading north started passing coming out of the northbound lane into the south bound lane to pass right as my boyfriend was in the southbound lane.

My boyfriend quickly went off the other side of the road to avoid a head on. The guy passing waved at him as he obviously didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect a vehicle to turn onto the highway.

Very, very fortunate that there was room to get off the road

and that there were no pedestrians walking right there at that time. But it seems to me passing should not be allowed. Along with passing comes speed.

With the Seawalk there are so many pedestrians, adults with kids, dogs etc., people on bikes, roller blading skate boarding...just a very busy area and as well as people there are a lot of deer. I see them on our lawn.

We live on the water side and down by the water. They have to cross that highway and many have been hit.

I understand that it canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always be avoided but if the speed was dropped to 50 km along this area and no passing I really believe it would help a lot. If people need to speed

there is another route.

Thank you for listening to my concern and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think I am the only one concerned about this. I am hoping something can be done.

Did I miss something?

I do not attend city council meetings nor do I watch them on TV. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m reliant on the local newspapers to keep me informed.

Somehow I missed some local events that may or may not have occurred. I may have slipped into a coma for the last couple of years or just missed what was happening around me.

They are now prepared to hire a army of contractors to rip up a perfectly green field and replace it with artificial turf costing millions of dollars and god only knows how much to maintain it.

This despite an article earlier this year in one of the Vancouver dailies, that interviewed Vancouver Whitecap players. In the article the white cap players stated how they hated playing on artificial turf since it damaged their knees and ankles which in turn left lifelong medical problems.

But why would anyone listen to professional soccer players our local experts probably know what is best?

C. School children in the Peterson road area will have to continue to risk their lives on a daily basis since there is absolutely no money for any type of road improvements.

D. The city proclaimed itself a green community and spent untold amounts of money on a green roof for city hall. Now they seem to be headed in another direction.

Serving up a romantic comedy Imagine what would happen if that little voice inside your head – the one that tells you how to behave and what choices to make – suddenly took on a life of its own?

Thats the premise of Norm Foster’s My Narrator being produced by Antics Theatre at the Willow Point Hall March 6-9 The actors for My Narrator are Lisa Perrault as Lacy, an artist with very few sales and even fewer dates.

Her Narrator Barb is played by Geri Symington. Barb tries to keep Lacy on the straight and narrow but sometimes Lacy has a mind of her own.

Kevin McHady as Miles, has trouble holding a job and a girlfriend.

After starting his new job as a clothing salesman Miles hopes his luck will change when he gives his first customer a discount on her purchase.

Miles has a Narrator named Bob played by

The cast of My Narrator will serve up an evening of fine comedy and dining March 6-9 at the Willow Point Hall.

Filling the room with harmonic sounds and djembe rhythms With a second summer of festival performances under their belt Fiftieth Parallel again hit the studio recording their new CD Open Sky. During October of 2012 on the Oyster River, songs performed and honed in the summer on the likes of Cortes and Quadra Islands were put to tape to create the new all-original CD. 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. Despite being only a duo – Phil Marchand (acoustic guitar), Jonathan Hinds (acoustic guitar and percussion) – Fiftieth Parallel have made a name for themselves with their Island-infused West Coast acoustic sounds.

On Saturday, Fiftieth Parallel will be performing at River City Grill in Campbell River – downtown in Mariner’s Square beside Save On Foods – filling the room with harmonic sounds and djembe rhythms. Music will start at 8 p.m.

Open Sky can be found along with ‘Weapon Of The Future’ (first full-length release) at any Fiftieth Parallel show and at locations across Vancouver Island. Fiftieth Parallel are currently working with vocalist Ben O’Connor and have just released a 5 track EP which is also available at events.

More and videos info can be found online under Fiftieth Parallel.

The Book of Revelation A Terrifying Prediction of End Times or 4x5.25 a Message of Peace & Hope for the Future?

PROPHECY has captured the attention of North America and the World. The topic has graced the covers of TIME and Newsweek. Many are wondering if the recent worldwide political and economic upheaval are signs of the end and are turning to the Bible for answers.

Over the course of this FREE MEDIA EVENT, the book of Revelation will be explored chapter by chapter

by John Bradshaw of It Is Written Television www.itiswritten.com.

“The book of Revelation is possibly the most misunderstood and confusing book in the Bible, when in fact it is the revelation of Jesus Christ.

In a world where many people are terrified of what the future holds, many are surprised to find that while Revelation holds answers to what will happen in the final days of Earth’s history - it also contains a message of peace and hope for the future.

During this series, Bible subjects typically shrouded in confusion will be made clear as we learn how the messages in this book apply to our lives today.”

It is for this reason that a special series about the book of Revelation called REVELATION TODAY is being brought to Campbell River.

Wander off the beaten track with this music duo in Merville Gardeners Green Folk Music Club in Merville will be hosting a house concert

by Tania Opland and Mike Freeman on Saturday, Feb. 16.

Since 1995 Opland and Freeman have been touring the world together from home bases half a world apart, with a unique and eclectic mix of songs in several languages and acoustic music played on more instruments than any sane duo would travel with: hammered dulcimer, guitar, recorders, cittern, violin, Native American flute, ocarina, hurdy-gurdy, per-

cussion. Their shows feature traditional and contemporary material from many cultures as well as original compositions, all presented with wit and style – guaranteed to provide an evening of great music and entertainment for all, especially those seeking something a little off the beaten track. Freeman’s irreverent sense of humor and Opland’s stunning vocals provide the springboard for a rollercoaster ride across several continents and back again.

Strap yourself in and enjoy.

Managing Your Money Investing for income –¿ve fundamentals Treena Parker B.Ed.

Consultant

A sound ¿nancial plan usually includes developing and maintaining a portfolio of investments that you will, at some point, tap into on a regular basis to cover living expenses or for some other ongoing need. That is most likely to occur after you retire but, depending on your unique ¿nancial needs, it could come earlier – so here are ¿ve fundamentals for getting the most from your investments.

1. Be realistic about whether or not your current investments will deliver an adequate level of income In retirement, your income will usually consist of amounts you’ll receive from the Canada Pension Plan, Old Age Security (CPP/OAS), private pension plan(s) and perhaps work income, plus draws from your investments.

If you think your retirement expenses will be such that the income produced from your investments will be inadequate, you should revisit your portfolio and savings strategies now.

2. Verify that your income will last as long as you need it The level of income you draw from your investments should

4x10 not completely deplete your savings while you still need them. The investments you choose will depend on your investment style and income needs.

3. As your expenses increase with inÀation, your income needs will also change A portfolio that consists solely of ¿xed income investments, INVESTORS GROUP such as GICs, is unlikely to produce long-term growth above inÀation. Growth in income comes from growth in assets. That’s why investing for income during a long retirement usually means including investments in diversi¿ed equity markets, depending on your comfort level with market risk.

4. Assess your need for income stability and how to achieve it Be mindful of the impact that constant withdrawals can have on your investments. If you need a high level of income stability, look at investments that deliver regular distributions – ¿xed income, real property, dividend paying securities – or products that provide a guaranteed monthly income, such as annuities.

5. Consider the tax impact on the income you draw Income from investments

held within a TFSA are taxfree, while income from your other registered assets is fully taxable. For your other accounts, the tax on interest is generally higher than income from dividends or capital gains. The amount of your taxable retirement income may also trigger clawbacks of your OAS bene¿ts. Look at investment structures that can provide more tax-advantaged income for non-registered accounts.

Planning to ensure you retirement income needs will be met can be complex.

Your professional advisor can supply the expertise and vision you need to meet those needs.

Earl William Hilsden

August 27, 1925 Feb. 2, 2013

Beloved husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, Earl passed away suddenly in Campbell River on February 2, 2013 in his 88th year. Predeceased by his parents, Harold and Selina Hilsden, brother John, and sisters Kay Blott and Jean Houston.

He is survived by his loving wife, Marilyn (Selkirk), sharing nearly 56 wonderful years together, his son Norm (Grande Prairie) daughters, Shannon (John) Anderson (Campbell River) and Devon Hilsden (John Jepson), (Campbell River); his six grandchildren, Victor Hilsden, Siobhan Hilsden, Derek Anderson, Kylie Anderson, Marisa Baikie (Clint), Joel Dick and great grandchildren, Rylan and Bowen Baikie. Earl also leaves to mourn many nieces and nephews, as well as a recently discovered half brother, Jim McWhirter of Wainwright, Alberta.

Born in Regina, Saskatchewan on August 27, 1925 to Isabella Lennie Campbell Glover Randalls (deceased) he was adopted

by Harold and Selina Hilsden. He was raised in Regina, often recounting many adventures with family and friends. During WWII, he joined the air force then transferred to the army, hoping to get overseas faster. After peace was declared Earl attended UBC on DVA credits, while working at any odd jobs he could get to help with expenses. He even dug an entire swimming pool by hand on a property too narrow for an excavator, remaining ďŹ rm friends with the family.

Earl received his BA (and later his M Ed), then went to Victoria Normal School to obtain his teaching certiďŹ cation, and where he ďŹ rst met Marilyn. His ďŹ rst teaching position was a one room school at Deserted Bay, Jervis Inlet, next going to Gibsons Elementary, then over to Vancouver Island to take on the position of principal at Nanoose Elementary. During that time he again met Marilyn, and they were married August 17, 1957, in Victoria. They immediately moved to Campbell River where Earl became the ďŹ rst principal of the newly constructed Cedar Elementary School. He continued on as a supervisory principal and after 20 years he retired from the administrative role and returned to enjoy fulltime teaching at Maple Elementary until taking an early retirement.

Earl loved travelling, read voraciously, enjoyed politics, as well as hunting and ďŹ shing, sailing and exploring the back roads on his motorbike. Camping with the children and dogs, and later RVing with Marilyn, always provided memories and adventures highlighted over the years.

He loved children, loved teaching and learning. Earl cherished his family, and was immensely proud of any and all their accomplishments.

We very much appreciate all the invaluable support provided by many family friends. Thank you to all the wonderful caring workers that made both Earlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life and his familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easier over the past few years, including Monique, the community at Altrusa, and the compassionate staff at New Horizons.

A celebration of Earlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life will be held on Saturday February 9th from 1-3pm at the Maritime Heritage Centre, 621 Island Hwy, Campbell River. In lieu of ďŹ&#x201A;owers donations to the Campbell River Hospital Foundation would be appreciated. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;A life well livedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Gone from our sight, but never our memories.

Gone from our touch, but never our hearts. :PVS $PNNVOJUZ :PVS $MBTTJmFET

DEATHS

Margaret Bayne (Vickers)

November 18, 1916 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; January 27, 2013 Margaret passed away peacefully on Sunday surrounded by her closest family â&#x20AC;&#x201C; husband Alfred, Kathlene Beebe, and niece Adriann Clark.

Margaret was born in Ontario.

Her school and business years were spent in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, where her father was a school principal. In 1945, while three of her brothers were still in the armed forces overseas, she and Alf Bayne were married. Her brother Jon, of operatic fame, sang at their wedding as a teenager. In her desire to share the Good News of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, Margaret played an indispensable partnership role with her husband during their years of missionary work along the BC Coast with the Goforth and ashore as co-founder of Camp Homewood in 1948. Alfred and Margaret have had a fulďŹ lling retirement at Homewood where Margaret continued on as a board member and was active in the ministries of her church. She is survived by her beloved husband of 67 years, Alfred Bayne, her brother Jon Vickers, sister Ruth Marshall, sister Bernice van Vleet, and many nieces and nephews of whom she was very fond. Thank you to the many friends who gave wonderful support during this time. She fulďŹ lled well her lifelong desire to serve and honour the Lord Jesus.

A Memorial memorial Service service will be held on Saturday, February the 9th at 2:00 pm at Camp Homewood on Quadra Island. In lieu of ďŹ&#x201A;owers, donations can be made in her memory to Camp Homewood, Box 40, Heriot Bay, British Columbia, V0P 1H0. Condolences may be offered to the family at www. suttonsfuneralhome.com.

Pat AttďŹ eld

February 22, 1927-January 31, 2013 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our mother Pat AttďŹ eld. She was predeceased by her mother Myrtle McNeil, father Earl Ebbert, sister Ruth and grandson Michael AttďŹ eld. She is survived by her sons, Sidney AttďŹ eld (Donna), Dwayne AttďŹ eld (Ann) and Allan AttďŹ eld, her daughters Margaret Oakford (Brian) and Christine Williams (Roger), her brother Richard (Delores), ten grandchildren and ďŹ fteen great-grandchildren.

Pat was a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and aunt and will be missed by all who knew her. She was a member of the Royal Canadian Legion, Fraternal Order of Eagles, The Lionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Club and Campbell River Seniors Centre. Pat was born in Broderick, Saskatchewan and grew up on a farm in Golden Glow, Saskatchewan. In 1951 she met and married Ken AttďŹ eld.

In 1952 they moved to Campbell River with their infant son.

They had four more children they raised together. When their children became independent, Ken and Pat parted and decided to live separate lives. Pat continued to live in Campbell River, volunteering many hours of her time to the many service groups she belonged to.

A memorial service will be held for Pat on February 16th at 1:00 the Campbell Campbell River River Seniorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Seniors Centre. In lieu of ďŹ&#x201A;owers, p.m. in the donations may be made in Patâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memory to the Campbell River Seniors Centre.

Campbell River continues to have a strong presence in the community from Vietnam and China, both countries celebrate Lunar New Year.

Ai Guo Zhang, an immigrant from China and owner of local Edgewater Motel, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the most important traditional festivity for us. I remember when I was in China our family gathered for a reunion dinner on every Lunar New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eve with everyone eating and drinking, chatting and laughing, it made a home filled with strong close feelings. This year I cannot reunite with my family, but we will celebrate here and

at the Robron Centre.

Everyone is welcome to join us for this whole day celebration, packed with exciting activities, or you may pick any sessions you likeâ&#x20AC;? said Vietnamese volunteer organizer Thu Nguyet.

Schedule: â&#x2013; 12:30-1:30 p.m. Buddhist Chanting in Vietnamese â&#x2013; 1:30-2:30 p.m. Buddhist Chanting in English â&#x2013; 2:30-3:30 p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What is Lunar New Yearâ&#x20AC;? & Ceremony â&#x2013; 3:30-4 p.m. Questions & Answers â&#x2013; 4:30 p.m. Doors Open for Potluck â&#x2013; 5-9 p.m. Potluck followed by International Entertainment For more information, contact Diversity Projects Coordinator, Shannon Briggs, at (250) 830-0171 ext 810 or email Shannon.Briggs@ImmigrantWelcome.ca

â&#x20AC;&#x153;According to my calculations, if I can make some money at a real job, plus my allowance, then . . .â&#x20AC;?

Becoming a Mirror newspaper carrier is an excellent opportunity to teach children the life skills for success.

Currently we are hiring in your area and we are looking for young people to help us deliver the newspaper.

If anyone in your family is interested in being a Mirror paper carrier, call us.

send greetings back home.â&#x20AC;?

This year moves us from year of the Dragon to year of the Snake, which repeats every 12 years in the Chinese Zodiac. It is said that those who are born during the

year of the snake share certain characteristics such as intelligence, cunning and pride and that finding a snake in the house is a good omen as it means your family will not go hungry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lunar New Year

does not fall on the same date every year as it is based on the moon so this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lunar New Year falls on Feb. 10.

You can join the celebration at the Immigrant Welcome Centre on Tuesday, Feb. 12

Blazin’ Hazen is on top of the world Campbell River’s blazin’ Hazen Meade reached the podium twice at the Special Olympics World Winter Games in Korea.

He finished racing last Sunday and ran a personal best in each of his race categories.

Meade ran the 800 metre final in 3:21 and placed fifth overall. His relay team ran the 4 X 400 Relay Final in 6:35 and placed third overall, bringing home a World Bronze Medal.

His last final was the 1,600 m and Meade ran it in thick, fresh powder, making it very challenging, but he powered through and finished with a time of 7:11 and placed second overall, bringing home a World Silver Medal.

Campbell River’s Maureen Brinson was one of six volunteer Canadian Snowshoe

Campbell River’s Hazen Meade, centre, receives his silver medal in the 1,600 metre race while on the podium at the Special Olympics World Winter Games in Korea last weekend.

Coaches who gave up their free time,

and worked tirelessly for the past two weeks

making sure all 17 Canadian Snowshoers

were ready for their races.

They were up at 5 a.m. for breakfast at

6:30 a.m. and on a bus at 7:30 a.m. every day to head to the mountain for competition – the coaches even washed uniforms in the bathtub at night.

Without his coach, Meade said he would have found the experience much more difficult and he appreciates all that Brinson has done for him.

The entire community of Campbell River and Special Olympics Campbell River have given Meade and Brinson so much support and encouragement throughout the whole process and they are both very thankful to everyone for their kind wishes and good luck messages.

Campbell River Special Olympics says Meade and Brinson will return home to Campbell River on Wednesday night at 5 p.m. to a hero’s welcome.

Hurricane one win away from first place The Bantam Hurricane girls are starting 2013 off on the right foot.

They are currently in second place in the VIAHA female league and the team appears to be peaking at just the right time heading into the final few weeks of the regular season.

The Hurricane girls earned a couple

more points this past weekend in Victoria at the Archie Browning Arena topping the Victoria Cougars 7-0.

Cassidy Bellavance opened up the scoring in the first period off a beauty pass from Hayley Hunter.

Although the Hurricane dominated in puck possession and had many scoring opportunities in

the second period, it wasn’t until the five minute mark when the hard working Francis Speck scored her first goal of the season with the assist going to Vanessa Dunn to put the Hurricane up 2-0.

The Hurricane defensive play of goalie Jadylin S p o o n e r, A l y s s a Palmer, Lisa Lloyd,

Kylie Scammell, Jessica Grant and Dunn are to be commended as they had to kill several penalties late in the second period and early in the third to hold the Victoria team to a scoreless game.

Killing the penalties gave the Hurricane the confidence they needed to close out the third period and

add a few more goals to the tally.

The teams tick tack toe passing was entertaining to the crowd and created excellent scoring opportunities for the Hurricane.

Scammell started the scoring in the third with assists going to Julia Mercer and Rylee Nelson.

Lloyd ripped a slapper past the goalie

It was truly a full team effort in Victoria which will give the Hurricane the confidence they need heading into this

Atom Tyees know keys to success What makes a team successful? The Atom B Campbell River Tyees know just that.

Success is three very simple things, and these three things encompass a philosophy they’ve played by all season.

“Tonight we are going to (1.) work as hard as we possibly can, (2.) we will be good supportive teammates, and (3.) we will have fun,” said Coach Laird Ruehlen during his pre-game pep talk before game one last Friday night at Rod Brind’Amour Area.

The team sat quietly, players individually focused, thinking of the three things, and the game ahead. The Tyees were hosts of their annual three day Campbell River Minor Hockey Tournament, with visiting teams Kerry Park Islanders, Sannich Braves, and Victoria Raquet Club.

There would be four games each before the top two teams played for the right to call themselves Tour nament Champions.

The players knew game one would be a challenge. The Victoria Raquet Club play a tough and determined style. Having lost to this team the weekend previous, Campbell River knew they would need a more consistent, hard fought effort.

The Tyees scored first, at 13:42 of period one, with a wicked wrist shot from Mike Shields Brown, but two minutes later Victoria tied it up.

Brandon Vandervalk’s gritty play put the Tyees back on top with less than two minutes

Remember always - that you not only have the right to be an individual, you have an obligation to be one.

The Tyees’ Jacob Thomas (#14) gets tied trying to go to the net during a game Saturday against the Saanich Braves. The game was the Tyees’ second in an Atom B rep hockey tournamnt at Strathcona Gardens last weekend. remaining in the first, but yet again Victoria came right back to tie the game. Ultimately, penalties would cost Victoria in this game, and with all three lines of the Tyees producing goals, Victoria fell 6-2.

The next morning, the Tyees battled the Saanich Braves. The Braves came out hard from the drop of the first puck to pressure the Tyees early, but good defensive play in their own end allowed Campbell River to weather an early storm.

The Tyees scored first at 11:24 of the first as centre Jacob Thomas potted the first of what would be an eventual hat trick. His line mate Riory Young scored four times, including the eventual game winner. This back and

forth, high scoring seesaw affair, ended 8-6 for Campbell River.

After the game, the dressing room was electric, full of a certain positive energy a team would only feel when confidence builds among all the players.

The Tyees had back-toback wins.

The next two games, though hard fought, were controlled by Campbell River.

Each team member wo rke d i n c re d i bly hard, and their smiles were contagious.

“We started to notice the lines talking to one another between whistles, planning strategies before face-off, and trying plays they designed themselves. It was fun to watch,” said both assistant coaches Blair Billard and Jamie

Willis after the third game.

With four wins in a row, and first place overall, the Atom B Tyees were off to the championship game.

It ended up being a rematch against Victoria Raquet Club.

A clear rivalry had begun to develop, with coaches and players alike discussing strategies as to how they would handle players of the opposing team.

Predictably, the game started rough, as Victoria sent a message this game would be a battle.

For most of the first period it was back and forth, with five penalties being issued.

Wy a t t H u f f m a n opened the scoring for the Tyees with 5:51 remaining in the first.

The defensive style of

each team kept shots to a minimum, and scoring chances low, but Tyee Jacob Thomas scored at 14:49 of the second, burying a rebound from a shot by Riory Young.

Young scored the third goal at 4:29 in the second frame to give the Tyees a comfortable 3-0 lead. Not going away quietly, the tenacity of Raquet Club showed with 30 seconds left in the second as they scored to make it 3-1 heading into the final frame.

At 17:01 in the third, Victoria scored to come within one, but the Campbell River defence, and stellar goal tending

by Andrew Brabender proved too much.

With time winding down, the Tyees held on to take the victory.
