Debbie Nuszdorfer is glad to be focussed on business after winning a lawsuit against her former landlord. “We’re very relieved its over so we can be get back on with our lives and running our business,” the owner of Kidlets said Wednesday. Nuszdorfer and her daughter Christina Assu are the owners of the children’s boutique, now located at Mariner Square. They used to be at Campbell River Common, but that came to an end when they were sued by mall owner Allan Edie. According to documents filed in B.C. Supreme Court, Edie sued the mother and daughter for non-payment of rent, future payment from the unexpired lease, damages in the amount of three months rent, interest five per cent above prime, and lawyer fees totally approximately $255,000.

Court: Judge 30-year relationship to be marked sides with mall tennant KRISTEN DOUGLAS

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Continued from A1

In response, the Kidlets’ owners countersued, stating they were induced to sign their lease based on, “…false representation made either negligently or fraudulently by representatives of the landlord.” In 2006, Edie purchased Ironwood Mall and changed the name to Campbell River Common. That year Kidlets moved into the mall and the following year the parties signed a new eight-year lease. According to testimony provided by Nuszdorfer and Assu, they signed the new lease based on the planned renovations and Edie’s promise the mall would once again be fully occupied. Prior to Edie’s purchase, the mall was described in court as a “retail dead zone.” Other promises included the arrival of Winners and that the anchor tenants, Sears and Thrifty Foods, would open entrances directly into the mall. In the aftermath, Winners never arrived and Sears moved to a new location. As for the renovations, Edie promised Kidlets $35,000 worth of leasehold improvements. Assu was in contact with the contractor who would let her know when Kidlets was approaching its spending limit. However, this wasn’t done until the renovations were completed and the owners were informed they had gone $70,000 over their limit. Assu told Edie she couldn’t afford the extra amount, so he proposed increasing Kidlets’ rent. If that wasn’t enough, the roof over Kidlets was being renovated or repaired when it collapsed, sending debris through the store. As a result, Kidlets was closed for two weeks and the mall manager apparently told Assu they would not have to pay one month’s rent. It was a promise Edie refused to honour and Kidlets paid a $1,000 insurance deductible to have the roof repaired. In the end, the case went to trial last winter in Campbell River. On Jan. 31, almost a year later, the trial judge sided with the Kidlets’ owners and awarded them $25,583. The judge found that the owners did not owe back rent and he believed their testimony over Edie’s. “On the whole, I did not find Mr. Edie to be a credible witness,” the judge wrote. Edie has 30 days to appeal the decision.

Campbell River and Ishikari, Japan are celebrating a 30-year partnership that has offered students from both communities an educational and cultural experience they won’t forget. It’s been 30 years since the Campbell River Twinning Society and Ishikari International Association signed an official proclamation declaring the two communities Sister Cities. Coun. Andy Adams, who was recently reelected president of the Twinning Society, said preparations have begun on how to mark the milestone. “We’re looking at forming a committee to come up with arrangements for the 30th celebration,” Adams said. “We’re looking at potential delegations, including the Campbell River Pipe Band, going (to Ishikari) in September.” Ambassadors from Ishikari were planning to come to Campbell River to take in the Canada Day festivities. However, many of the ambassadors will be wrapped in national elections to the upper house in Japan, said Adams, which may force the trip to be put off until later in the summer. City staff and members of the Ishikari International Association have also discussed having past delegations come to Campbell River and vice versa. Since the Sister City bond was formed, 850 youth from Campbell River and Ishikari have participated in either the year-long Senior Exchange Program for high school students or the Young Ambassador Program – a 10 day exchange for students in middle school and elementary school. Campbell River’s senior exchange student to Ishikari this year is Daniel Henry, a member of the Wei Wei Kum First Nation and an avid snowboarder. Adams said the judoka is having a fantastic year in Japan. “He’s doing absolutely wonderful,” Adams said. “He’s going for his black belt in judo.” Ishikari’s high school ambassador to Campbell River is Katsuhiro Ono, who has been in Campbell River since August and is in Grade 10 at Carihi. Ironically, Adams said when Henry and Ono spoke to each other over the computer Henry was speaking Japanese while Ono was replying in English. Meanwhile, Adams said the Young Ambassador Program, which takes place during spring break, has been cancelled this year due to a lack of interest. “It was cancelled due to a limited number of people who signed up,” Adams said. “We’re looking at other ways to make it more appealing and more affordable for people to participate in that program.” For more information about the Campbell River Twinning Society and Ishikari go to www.twinningcr.bc.ca or Facebook, www. facebook.com/TwinningCR

ness to operate across particular municipalities and regional districts,” Evans said at Tuesday’s council meeting. “It streamlines the process, reduces costs and makes it easier to do business in these regions and reduces the red tape.” Mobile Business Licences are typically suited for contractors such as photographers, mechanics, janitorial service providers, and landscapers. Evans said allowing

those contractors to easily move around the region would provide more selection for consumers. The licences also increase licensing compliance and improve information flow among local governments. Evans said several jurisdictions already offer Mobile Business Licences, including the OkanaganSimilkameen area, the Capital Regional District and the Courtenay/Comox area.

CUPI D COUP ’S ONS

Evans said under the OkanaganSimilkameen model, it costs $150 for a Mobile Business Licence which allows the mobile business to operate in 19 municipalities and regional districts. Evans added that “local governments are retaining all the revenue generated by the business licence and businesses remain responsible for complying with the bylaws of each municipality and regional

district in which they operate.” The Mobile Business Licence program is a key commitment for the province in the BC Jobs Plan and offers support to local governments looking to implement the program. Campbell River council directed city staff Tuesday night to undertake a detailed assessment of the Mobile Business Licence model and report back to city council.

City looking at expanding tax exemption zone KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The city is on its way to expanding the area downtown which, if built on, provides business owners with a tax exemption. Council, at its Tuesday meeting, gave first and second reading to a bylaw that would nearly double the size of the area. The Special Commercial Area currently encapsulates the area bordered by St. Ann’s to the south, city hall to the west, 11th Avenue to the north and Shoppers Row to the east. The city wants to expand that to include all of Shoppers Row up to Roberts Reach between Cedar Street and the Island Highway, which would allow the new Berwick seniors home slated to be built on the property between Banners and McDonald’s to benefit

from a tax exemption. Ron Neufeld, the general manager of operations, said the intent is to help revitalize the downtown core through new business. “The main objective is to use this tool as a way to incent investment specifically in the downtown core,” Neufeld said. “By providing the exemption for a five year per that enables the developer to make decisions about their investment, to do the development that’s required and to get them to a point where they’re beginning to see a return on their investment prior to being faced with the additional tax burning associated with the development.” The exemption would only apply to new developments or to improvements done on an existing facility. For example, if a building valued at

$200,000 renovates and increases its assessed value to $3 million, it would be exempt from paying $34,766.10 over five years. CR DanceXtreme & Fitness has already benefited from the existing Special Comm e rc i a l A re a t a x exemptions. The dance studio is expected to save $2,897 each year over its five-year exemption for a grand total of $14,485. Seymour Pacific, which is building a new headquar ters building along St. Ann’s and Alder, also stands to benefit from the tax exemption. How it works is the “existing commercial tax exemption for the Special Commercial Area will increase the tax incentive from 50 per cent exemption for a three-year period to a 100 per cent exemption for a five-year period for the properties

within the proposed expansion area,” wrote Kevin Brooks, the city’s senior planner, in a report to council. Brooks noted that since the tax exemption only applies to improvements to existing buildings, tax revenue would not go down rather any increase to tax revenue will be delayed for five years. Mayor Walter Jakeway said he likes the idea of extending the tax exemption area, but would like to go even further. “My concern is I think the downtown limits are too small,” he said. “I see downtown as from Pier Street to the bridge (in north Campbell River). I think our downtown core is going to be a lot bigger in the years to come and if someone wants to build a great big building in the middle of Campbellton, more power to them.”

Regional district doesn’t want to play with the city Rejects proposal to conduct review of recreation facilities KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The Strathcona Regional District board has denied the city’s request for funding to participate in a joint review of community recreation services. Electoral directors at the Jan. 24 board meeting said they didn’t feel comfortable putting money towards city facilities which don’t benefit people living outside the city limits aside from those in Area D who contribute to and enjoy the facilities at Strathcona Gardens. Brenda Leigh, director for Area D, said her area has no interest in participating in a recreational services review. “We cannot afford anymore. I don’t think it’s fair to consider Area D paying for any Campbell River sports facilities,” Leigh said. “I think this is wrong, it’s inconsiderate of what Area D contributes to Campbell River. I feel that we are doing above and beyond what an electoral area should contribute to

municipal recreation. “I’m not contributing one more red cent to any more facilities in Campbell River. We’re already contributing more than what can be expected of an electoral area,” Leigh said. Coun. Andy Adams, and alternate regional district director, said the point of the review was to try and save costs in the long term. “The intent of this is to not do any takeover. Area D has certainly been very supportive of the Strathcona Gardens Commission,” Adams said. “The tone of the report is to look at operational efficiencies.” The city sent a letter to the regional district board last July to request the regional district help the city in identifying potential opportunities for efficiencies and cost savings related to community recreation facilities and programs. “Campbell River tax dollars are at a premium and with the city providing 85 per cent of the funding for the Strathcona Gar-

dens budget, council has determined it is in the best interest of taxpayers to review the operation of recreation facilities and services provided to the community to look for improvements,” Adams said in a news release issued by the city last July. “There is excellent co-operation between the two recreation functions and council believes we should look at every possibility to streamline service delivery to reduce costs.” But regional district directors were unsure and asked for Chief Administrative Officer Brian Reardon’s advice. Reardon said the city’s intent is to ensure the money for recreational facilities is coming from the right place and said there is a benefit to the regional district to

look into that. “The study the City of Campbell River is looking for is not uncommon,” he said. “I believe it would be a worthwhile exercise, doing this particular activity.” Adams also tried to reassure the board the money was not going into operating city facilities, saying that “if it was, I wouldn’t be suppor ting the motion.” In the end, though, directors voted to deny the funding request for the review and instead have city and regional district staff work together to look over information from Strathcona Gardens and “quantify the issues that are of concern to them.” Directors Walter J a k e w ay, A d a m s , Mary Storry, Larry Samson and Ron Kerr were opposed to that motion.

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.

Our View

Family Day: Long time in coming The dog days of late winter - who hasn’t longed for the relief of a nice long weekend right around the time we’re finally going to have one to take advantage of ? We say: Make Family Day... what could be a better theme for an overdue the most out of stat? the love and value of our new statutory familyIf isn’t idealized... what holiday can be? It’s like the whole festive season is making a one-day curtain call...

setting the stage for us all to bite down hard as we set our sights on Good Friday on the 29th of March, while paying the appropriate respects to Valentines Day, of course. There are people living in far more senior locations than us (Germany’s a good example) who benefit from a relatively benevolent vacation structure, and their economies seem to be doing just fine as a result. It’s not just slackers who thrive with a day off work from time to time, just think of the

added employment opportunities generated just by the need to cater to all those folks taking a day off work? Then there are those of us who can go to work and feel like its a holiday just because the phone isn’t ringing quite as much. Whether your family is big or small, near or far... here’s hoping our February stat holiday finds you making the most of it, in whatever way suits you best. – Black Press

Letters

Absolutely disgusted With the anticipation of two large projects coming to our area, recently my husband and I drove from Campbell River to Courtenay to attend the meeting about the North Island Hospital Project. This exciting project promises improved healthcare in a state of the art facility, a partnership program with the University of British Columbia to attract new doctors completing their residency, possible training partnership with North Island College (which is just next door), a patient-centred facility, and even an MRI machine. This facility has the potential to positively impact thousands of people in our community from every age group. It means that at our most vulnerable time, when we ourselves, or even worse, when a loved one is sick, they will be cared for in a state of the art facility in our own community, decreasing or eliminating having to travel out of town to receive care. My husband and I were absolutely disgusted to find a group of individuals at this meeting that were not there to hear about the project, provide constructive feedback, or have healthcare concerns addressed, they Continued on A9 We welcome your opinions on stories and issues published in our pages as well as issues of broader concern encountered elsewhere.

Kooks get a court date while mentally ill get jail

Paul Rudan No, really

Let me tell you the strange story of Daniel Sabo. One day in 1986, near the Yukon community of Mayo, Mr. Sabo finds what he believes is a meteorite. For years it bounces around from his home, to his parents’ place in New Mexico, and then he tries to sell it. But by 1999 it winds up back on the shelf at his Yukon abode. And that’s when a seam on his prized rock starts to take on a mysterious green colour. Convinced this is an extraterrestrial life form, Sabo has it sent to the Geological Survey of Canada to have analyzed. So, the good scientists cut a small chunk off said meteorite to determine its origins, tell him it will take further analysis to determine if it is, in fact,

a meteorite...and that’s when all the trouble starts. Sabo, to use a phrase, loses it and demands they immediately return his extraterrestrial evidence. They give it back, but that’s not good enough for Sabo who wants the missing chunk too. Not only that, he claims they’ve sent him a fake – a duplicate meteorite! Naturally, Sabo represents himself as he embarks on a protracted legal campaign to get back the “real” meteorite or be reimbursed to the tune of $12.1 million – based on the calculation of $50,000 a gram. His legal fight begins in 2002, but the actual case isn’t heard until 2011 in B.C. Supreme Court. After hearing evidence and experts from the

Geological Survey, the judge rejects Sabo’s story “in the strongest possible terms.” Of course, the saga doesn’t end there. Sabo appeals and this week the appellant court, while upholding the trial judge’s findings, does award Sabo $1,000 for his missing chunk of rock. Not bad, I guess, if you’re willing to spend a decade on a court case for 10 bucks a year. But the costs go way, way beyond the $1,000. Judges, court staff, government lawyers and experts were all paid daily wages in addition to travel and food expenses. We’re talking tens of thousands of dollars for a case that is, well, crazy. Now the reason I tell you this is because of the flip side: In our court system it’s crazy how we deal with

people with mental illness. By the time they’re in court for breaching a no-go order or consuming alcohol or drugs, they’re tossed in jail where they often remain for weeks on end with very little medical support or attention. And the reason they’re in jail is because there’s no room at the “mental health inn.” Policy changes and funding cuts have shunted the people with most serious issues into the hands of those who should be dealing with criminals. The people who work in the courts do their best, but it’s a situation they don’t like, especially with so many other real kooks to deal with...such as Mr. Sabo. paulr@campbellrivermirror.com

OPINION

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 2013 | CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR |

Taxed to death in Campbell River When I applied for my CPP ,there was a space that asked if I wanted them to send the money by mail or direct deposit. Had I known how fast the Frivolous Four were going to increase my taxes, I would have given them city hall’s bank account number. It would have saved me a lot of paperwork. I can’t believe that there seems to be no end to the increases and spending. They cry poverty but they still managed to find approximately $700,000 for waterfront properties last year. If you own a storage lot or are a lawyer, 17.5 per cent in two years isn’t much, you just add it onto your customer’s bill. But when you are on a fixed income there is no way to recoup this loss. The mayor says he would like to cut a total of $664,000 if he had his way – if this is possible why isn’t it being done?

I only have a grade 9 education but I am sure I would be over qualified to work at city hall. I have operated my own small businesses all my life. Had I run them the way city hall does, I would have gone broke in the first few years. You cannot spend more than you take in and you have to watch where and how you spend what you do have. They are also talking about building a new fancy library. When is the last time you saw a door to door salesman selling encyclopedia? I am sorry but books will be a thing of the past in a few years – everything is on the computer. When the economy picks up and our house prices increase can you just imagine what our taxes will be? Maybe it’s time to think about a tax revolt! Mike Richmond

Seeking Jim English’s relatives I am seeking your readers help with my family tree research. My grandfather – James (Jim) Albert English immigrated to Canada in 1901. He subsequently married twice and whilst I have found a lot of information re: his first marriage and the children from this marriage (which are my direct ancestors). I have struggled to find any meaningful information relating to his second marriage. He married Margaret Marshall in 1921 and had two two children – Robert and E C Higgins (this information came from the Campbell River Courier archives). I know that he owned the Quinsam Hotel in Campbell River for a lot of years. He died in 1961. Obviously it would be wonderful if I could make contact with any living relatives who may be able to help fill in the gaps for me. Although I live in England (where he originated from) I am very keen to hear from any of my Canadian relatives. I can be contacted via email at me.rose@tiscali. co.uk. Mari English Rose

Hospitals: Be grateful you live in Canada Continued from A8 were there to simply to disrupt and discuss non-existent environmental concerns. It was apparent to both my husband, and I that these individuals were complaining simply for the sake of hear-

ing their own voices, as they were not interested in listening to any answers to their questions. It got me to thinking that we are so fortunate to live in a country whose government listens to its people

and has provided the millions of dollars to fund a project such as this, and still people are not happy. It seems to me that in Canada, and specifically B.C., we are so blessed and spoiled that we even have to protest some-

thing as positive as a new hospital. What’s next, protesting new schools, and new playgrounds for children? People should be grateful they live in Canada, and not in Iraq, Iran, or India, where gover nment

corruption is rampant, and human rights do not exist. I say thank goodness they will be cutting down some trees to put in a new hospital, as some of us cannot see the forest for the trees. Sandra Karason

Doggy daycare bylaw goes back to square one after mayor invokes review The mayor invoked a rarely-used power at Tuesday’s council meeting to turn back the clock on a decision made by council last month. Mayor Walter Jakeway, under section 131 of the Community Char ter, requested council reconsider a bylaw that would allow pet services as an accepted use under Commercial-2 (C-2), Commercial-4 (C-4) and Industrial zonings. Under section 131 of the Community Charter, it states “the mayor may require the council to reconsider and vote again on a matter that was the subject of a vote.” In this case, council, at the Jan. 22 council meeting, defeated a motion to give the bylaw third reading and adoption. “The reason I see I need we needed to re-consider it is on We d n e s d ay m o r n ing after (the council meeting) there was confusion even among our senior staff and I’m wondering what happened the night before,” Jakeway said.

“And I’m sure some members of council have the same feeling – a little bit of confusion. Even though we all read the same words, I don’t think we got the same meaning out of it.” He said things became more clear after new information was brought to light following council’s vote on the motion that, if passed, would have allowed Kimberly Dorrington and business partner Ryan Pickard to open a doggy daycare in either C-2, C-4, or Industrial. That infor mation was translated to council through an e-mail from Dorrington who said there seemed to be a disconnect. “We are not totally sure where the break down in communication was between what we wanted, what the city suggested and what powers are available in terms of moving forward with this,” Dorrington wrote in her e-mail. “To have the entire thing shot down was a little shocking to say the least, and it is my belief that council may not have been aware that they could have made their own

changes – whatever they saw fit: approved only part of the bylaw (example: approving Industrial One and excluding the commercial zones from the bylaw), or directed city staff to figure something out.” Adding to the confusion was the fact Dorrington had previously approached council asking for city staff ’s definition of pet services to be changed. The definition stated that under C-2 and C-4 the dogs could only go outside for a limited amount of time and had to be primarily enclosed within the building. Dorrington wanted the pet services definition in the two commercial zones to match with the one proposed for Industrial, which would have allowed the dogs to be outside for up to three hours every day. At the time council defeated the motion, Coun. Mary Storry thought the bylaw, as written, was not what Dorrington wanted and felt the term “primarily enclosed” would be “problematic.” Storry subsequently defeated the motion along with councillors Larry Sam-

son, Claire Moglove and Mayor Jakeway. Moglove didn’t think it was appropriate to have a doggy daycare, with dogs cooped up all day and barking, alongside commercial businesses like coffee shops and restaurants. But days after the motion was defeated, Dorrington told Coun. Samson she would be okay with C-2 and C-4 having limited outdoor access in the bylaw. “The way the bylaw is worded right now would be okay with us because we would be in a position to change an individual property to ‘partially’ instead of ‘wholly’ (enclosed) in a C-2 or C-4 zone,” Dorrington said. Ross Blackwell, the city’s land use manager, explained during the Jan. 22 council meeting that a proponent could apply for a spot variance to the zoning to allow for extended outdoor use. Taking into account Dorrington’s position, council on Tuesday voted to refer the matter to a public hearing for the second time. As per provincial statutes, because council received information after a public hear-

ing, held originally on Jan. 8, the matter cannot legally go back to third reading but must be deferred to a public hearing where council will have the opportunity to ask questions and listen to further information. The public hearing cannot be scheduled for at least two weeks to allow the city sufficient time to provide notice of the public hearing. That’s making Dorrington, who has her eye on a couple of properties, anxious. “There is one property available in I-1 (Industrial-1) right now that I would like to get my hands on but I can’t even approach the owner until this is dealt with and passed (probably another six weeks) and by that time it might be too late,” Dorrington said. “There is also a place at the airport that could work well too, but that zone is not even in the proposed bylaw. The big thing for me right now is time. I am running out of it, rapidly. So my hope is that council will just adopt the bylaw this time without all the confusion.” City Clerk Peter Wip-

crooked front teeth?

crooked front teeth, but it depends on the degree of crowding. Severe crowding is often best treated with orthodontics (braces) to straighten the teeth. Moderate to mild crowding can also be treated with Invisalign, which utilizes clear trays that are custom made and move teeth gradually and gently. This can Dr. Joseph Schafermeyer be done at your family dental office. Another way to change the appearance of teeth is with composites. These are tooth-coloured resin fillings that are bonded to repair decayed, chipped, fractured, or discoloured teeth. They can also be used to close spaces between teeth, make teeth look longer, or change the shape or colour of teeth. They usually last several years, depend on how much bonding was done and oral/biting habits. Other options include porcelain veneers and crowns. These are thin layers of porcelain that are placed and bonded to prepared teeth. They can be used in situations where one wishes to change the shape, colour, or overall appearance of his or her teeth. They are very lifelike and can last for many years with proper care. In order to find out which treatment would work best for you, please speak to your dentist, or call us for an exam or free Invisilign consultation.

ARIES You are a fairly impulsive, spontaneous sort of person. You may decide to leave on a trip or register for classes that will allow you to have a more dynamic social life. TAURUS All your various obligations cause some turbulence in your life. This is a challenge, because your comfort zone is one of stability. Things at work and in your family are moving quickly. GEMINI At work, you will come to an agreement with some important groups. Decisions will go in your favour if you are involved with the justice system for one reason or another.

LEO You especially love being the centre of attention even if you’re a shy person. You present yourself in a positive light in every situation. VIRGO You spend a part of the week at home recovering from a bad cold or taking care of a family member. You put the ﬁnishing touch on a decorative element of some kind. LIBRA You will do lots of coming and going this week, and you may even think seriously about changing cars. You will have some conversations that highlight your good qualities. SCORPIO You’re checking out the real estate market or at least checking your budget to see if you can buy the house you’ve always dreamed of. SAGITTARIUS There is plenty of action all around you. You’ll be compelled to undertake a more active lifestyle, as much with your loved one as with your family, friends, and work colleagues. CAPRICORN Your body may start telling you that it needs a bit more rest. You have the tendency to burn the candle at both ends and put yourself in very stressful situations. AQUARIUS You are the centre of attention in an important group of people, whether at work or in other surroundings. This is great for your self-esteem. PISCES You have a fair amount of responsibility to shoulder. You could also become seriously involved in a project of an artistic nature. ANSWER TO CROSSWORD

Campbell River Living Diving history and underwater technology featured in new exhibit The past, present and future of underwater exploration PAUL RUDAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

PAUL RUDAN/THE MIRROR

Not exactly a fashion statement are the old and very heavy steel boots that divers wore to walk the ocean floor. Nevertheless, Trish Whiteside of the Maritime Heritage Centre gives them a try.

t the Maritime Heritage Centre, Glenn Ashby takes on the light- and heavy-lifting chores. The past president of the Maritime society is happily painting doorway trim on the entrance to the main hall when he gets called over to the new underwater exhibit by operations manager Trish Whiteside. There’s one more “little thing” that requires his attention: An old, cast iron diving helmet. This is where the

heavy lifting comes in. With a quick cleanand-jerk, the two of us hoist the behemoth from its stand and lower it as gently as possible onto Ashby’s trim shoulders. He’s kneeling on the ground to further brace himself when he remarks on the weight. “Jeez, must be at least 60 pounds!” Fortunately, the U.S Navy Diving Helmet Mark V is designed to distribute its bulk through the shoulders and not Ashby’s neck. He opens the front glass porthole and smiles for the photographer.

When the helmet is safely off Ashby and back on its stand, Whiteside breathes a sigh of relief as she thinks about the divers from long ago who worked underwater with these heavy helmets and suits, plus steel shoes. “It only shows what these guys went through. Once they got on this stuff, they must have went down in a hurry,” she says. Today is the public opening for the Centre’s latest exhibit, “What Lies beneath: the Past, Present and Future of Underwater Exploration.” This exhibit examines new technology and the evolution of diving from prehistoric man to modern times. The exhibit is on

THEY SAID IT: “It only shows what these guys went through.” – Trish Whiteside, Maritime Heritage Centre

loan from the Maritime Museum of BC where it was a huge success in Victoria. Now the interactive display is at the Maritime Heritage Centre in Campbell River, and there’s a lot of cool stuff to see. There’s another old diving suit, a combination of a claustrophobic mask and heavy burlap “suit”; a hand-powered pump that provided oxygen

to divers; a small bathysphere which is a spherical deep-sea submersible; and a classic spear gun with the trident-tipped spear. Visitors can also learn more about the Venus and Neptune underwater ocean observing systems located off Vancouver Island. These unique observatories on the ocean floor allow researchers and the public an up-close look at sea life. The exhibit is now open to the public. Admission is $5 and free to children under six.

Expert on African art to speak at art gallery lecture series A new series of evening lectures at the Campbell River Art Gallery will allow art fans to delve deep into a wide variety of fascinating topics this season with leading experts. The lectures are set for Thursday evenings at 7:20 p.m. (to accommodate the Quadra Island ferry schedule) and admission is $5. The first speaker, on Thursday, Feb. 14, will be Professor Dan Mato who will share his deep knowledge and passion for primitivism and abstraction in Europe. Mato will discuss how primitivism (which saw Western artists borrow ideas from aboriginal forms) inspired contemporary art in France, Germany and other European countries. Mato has had a long and interesting career. He is currently Professor Emeritus of Art History at the

University of Calgary. He completed his PhD in African Art History at Indiana University, after completing his B.A. and M.A. in Michigan in Classical Art History. He has curated exhibitions across North America and Europe and has been named a research affiliate at the University of Ghana. He is currently curator of the African collection at Calgary’s Museum of Making. Mato is a mesmerizing and passionate speaker. Anyone who has had the pleasure of attending a lecture with Professor Mato knows his talks are not to be missed. After Mato’s Feb. 14 lecture, the next Thursday evening lectures include: ■ Thursday, Feb. 21 – Oliver Kellhammer on ‘Botanical Interventions and Autonomous Zones.’ Recent phenomena such as the Occupy

The city is forecasting a $3.6 million budget shortfall for 2012, according to preliminary fig-

ures. That’s up substantially from the last estimated budget deficit of $550,000 back in December. The picture looks bleaker now because of a change in the prop-

erty assessment value of the defunct Catalyst mill site. The BC Assessment Authority announced early last month that Catalyst no longer meets the requirements of a major industrial property, and

has been reclassified as business/ other, which means a significant reduction in Catalyst’s property taxes. That decision results in a loss of $1.8 million in tax revenue for

2012. Included in the deficit is a $1.1 million tax shortfall carried over from 2011, plus a $1.3 million increase in costs related to contract commitments and inflationary increases, said Laura Ciarniello, the city’s general manager of corporate services. If the city were to maintain the current level of services it provides to citizens, the tax rate would have to increase by 24 per cent in order to make up the $3.6 million. The loss of $1.8 million from Catalyst alone, equates to a 12 per cent residential tax increase. To put that into perspective, Ciarniello said a one per cent residential tax increase would bring in $150,000 in revenue for the city. That one per cent increase would mean roughly $12 more per year in property taxes for the average homeowner. The city’s operating budget is approximately $37 million which Continued on A3

Think with your head to protect your heart.

Our Goals:

1. Reduce the number of deaths due to cardiovascular disease by 25% by 2020. 2. Reduce the number of CCVD deaths in Canada by more than 25,000 per year beyond 2020. Our Visionary Mission: 3. Reduce the number of Canadian women dying because of Healthy lives free of heart disease and stroke. Together, we heart disease and stroke by more than 12,500 per year beyond 2020. will make it happen.

Heart disease and stroke take one Canadian life every seven minutes: Heart disease and stroke is a leading cause of death for Canadian men and women. Approximately 250,000 years of life are lost unnecessarily each year due to heart disease and stroke. Childhood obesity rates have tripled in the past 25 years. Today’s children could become the ﬁrst generation of Canadians whose lifespan is shorter than their parents.

One-quarter of Canadian children aged 2-17 are now overweight or obese, putting them at serious risk of developing high blood pressure, heart disease and Type 2 diabetes. By supporting the Heart and Stroke Foundation’s research, health promotion and advocacy, your donation will make a diﬀerence. With your support, the Foundation will help people across BC live healthier lives and prevent heart disease, through health promotion and advocacy initiatives.

FAMILY DAY 2013

Cook together Q If you ask any adult about some of their favourite memories of childhood, you will invariably hear something related to food. Whether g g it’s bakingg with Grandma or grilling hamburgers for a cookout with Dad, cooking is always an important part of growing up. Family Day is a great time to dig out those family cookbooks and try a recipe handed down by the older generation. Your mom’s famous meatloaf or your uncle’s recipe for spinach dip are great things to try with family members of

all ages. Maybe you’re looking to make something you’ve never made before, or perhaps you want to try out a new cuisine. Hitting the library or the web will give you ideas for new recipes, whether it’s trying to duplicate your favourite takeout pizza or make an authentic spicy Indian dish. Let each member of the family choose a recipe that they want to try, whether it’s for breakfast, lunch, dinner or a snack. That way everyone gets involved and has their say in what the family eats. Maybe you’ll find a new favourite food or discover that your child is aiming to become the next Mario Batali or Julia Child. Your local grocery store is sure to have a wide selection of ingredients that you may never have tasted before. Wandering the aisles may even spark your imagination. Learning about what goes into a dish will set your family on the road to healthy eating. Taking a few minutes to read the labels on a food item will demonstrate how to make healthy choices and help your children in the future. Finding healthy alternatives to not-so-healthy foods can be a fun experiment, and may end up being tastier than the original food. Many stores will have sections devoted to healthier options, whether they’re gluten-free or just lower in calories.

Learn together

Q Having a day off from 7x14school doesn’t mean learning stops for the day. There are plenty of educational things you can do in British Columbia, whether in your own home or outside. How about starting with a trip to your local library? It will hold plenty of books on any topic that you can imagine. Maybe a book of science experiments or a historical novel set in the early days of Canada will stoke your imagination. Let the kids each pick out a book to take home with them and start a lifetime love of reading. Your local bookstore will also hold a variety of options if your child can’t bear to part with his or her new favourite book. A local historical attraction is also a great place to pay a visit. Whether it’s Chinatown or Steveston ﬁshing village, there is a ton of history right in your own backyard. Most places will have a museum or heritage building around that can serve as a jumping-off point for learning more about the city where you live. Learning can be more than just reading though. Pull out the laptop and get your kids to type out an email to a family member or friend outside of B.C. Perhaps they can even tell the person about what they learned at the museum or library! Keeping a journal is also a great way to practice writing and literacy skills. Even if it’s not a daily occurrence, sitting down in the evening to write about the events of the day or week can get kids thinking and practicing their handwriting.

FAMILY DAY 2013

Experience as a Family Q Try something new this Family Day. It might be as simple as agreeing that everyone observe a no-technology or TV day. If you find your gatherings often involve all the adults sitting around visiting while the youngsters play among themselves and the teens segregate away from both you and the little ones, you’re probably not alone. A family gathering can be a wonderful opportunity for family to hear the latest on jobs, trips, hobbies and health, but if you find your gatherings following the same tedious patterns where one or two family members dominate with the same old stories, this is the year to change it up. Consider adding new experiences to the plans, and making a new and fun tradition out of them. Here are some ideas to get started: Get out and enjoy our beautiful outdoors – no matter what your weather. If you live in a snowy region of B.C., organize a hayride, snowshoe trek, sledding time or ice skating at a community rink. If you don’t have snow in your area, you can travel to find it or consider planning a bike ride, a hike or even hitting a minigolf course or a driving range. The idea is to bring everyone together in a family activity you’ve never done before.

restaurant. Not only do you experience a new menu together but everyone in your group can sit together and enjoy the meal. B.C. has a widely diverse cultural make up and ethnic restaurants are part of that.

Play together

Q There is nothing like the fun and 7x14innocence of childhood. Whether

Make your Family Day gathering a retreat for all – consider getting your family out of the house and turn your gathering into a festive retreat. Many venues have activities for all ages to enjoy, from winter outdoor fun to refreshing spa services. Think of how much fun it would be for your whole family group to take a yoga class together. Host a family talent show – Everyone has a special talent in your family, so encourage them to bring their talent to your gathering. If you’re really ambitious set up an area to be used ed as a stage and arrange chairs for audience ence members. Many living rooms have ve dimmer switches so play with lightingg and lamps so the performance area is in the spotlight. You might want to rent a popcorn opcorn machine or ask family memberss to bring along some treats and snacks. s. By bringing new activities to your family gathering this year, you’ll be creating many new memories to o share in the future, as well as making the event much more enjoyable. yable.

it’s a game of kick-the-can with the neighbourhood children or building a tree fort in the backyard, some of our best memories are playful. Board games are a great indoor activity, and Family Day is a great time to dig out some of your old favourites like Monopoly and Clue, and maybe try out a few new ones that are geared towards family fun. Your local toy store will have a wide range of options, along with other family-friendly entertainment such as puzzles and books. Set up a card table, get your

FAMILY DAY

Plan a meal away from the house – Instead of cooking for the gathering, plan a formal brunch or dinner at a new

favourite puzzle out and spend hours putting together the pieces. Finishing a complicated puzzle will also give your kids a sense of accomplishment. If you’re looking for something a bit more high-tech, your game console or computer is a good place to start. Video games have come a long way from the classic Super Mario and Donkey Kong, and you may discover that your kids have a much larger technical knowledge than you do. They might beat you at Wii Sports but it will make for a great story! Getting outside for a game of tag or basketball basketb will check off two things on your list: lis play and exercise. Taking a trip to a local playground or ﬁeld will give yo you hours of entertainment for a low cost. cos Pack a picnic as well for an entire day d of fun. Practicing your batting or pitching will also get you ready for the upcoming sports seasons, or maybe compete to see who can run the fastest to the swings. This ye year, Family Day is a time to make memories, spend time together and mem maybe may learn a thing or two. Whatever eve the weather is like outside, you have ha plenty of options for having fun fu at all ages.

Unplug and Connect on Family Day Success By 6 supports the children of our community, and on this ﬁrst Family Day we are asking families to spend meaningful time together. Family Day is an opportunity for us to come together, to “unplug” from our electronic devices, and re-connect with our children. We know the profound effect that spending time with family has on a child’s growth and future success. Let’s take this, and every opportunity to listen, talk, sing and play together. Put down your devices, and enjoy some quality family time. Family Day is the perfect day to commit/ recommit our attention to what is most important, our children. Let’s take this opportunity to celebrate our children and family on Monday, February 11, 2013.

B.C. winters usually mean outdoor adventures, and what better way to enjoy B.C. Family Day that in a B.C. park? From the North, to the Coast, to the Interior there are countless great ways to have no-fee family fun snowshoeing, hiking, beach combing, wildlife viewing and much more. â€œSome of our best family times were spent in BC Parks. What better way to celebrate the very first B.C. Family

Day than by exploring British Columbiaâ€™s spectacular wilderness with fun, familyfriendly adventures. Hike, snowshoe or ski - itâ€™s all about sharing the love of outdoors without breaking the family budget,â€? said Environment Minister Terry Lake. Vancouver Islandâ€™s mild climate means BC Parks are often open year-round. Juan de Fuca Provincial Parkâ€™s beautiful Botanical Beach features rich

tidal pools and shoreline trails guaranteed to keep families entertained for hours. A short walk from the nearby parking lot will take curious kids of all ages to a world of sea creatures and ocean vistas. Northern B.C. has countless ways to enjoy winter adventure in B.C. Parks, including the famous, newly renovated Liard River Hot Springs Provincial Park. A popular stop for

families in all seasons, these spectacular hot springs are the second largest in Canada. The pools range in temperature from 42 degrees to 52 degrees Celsius and provide a welcome rest for cold hikers. British Columbians in the South and the Interior can enjoy a selection of affordable adventures. Ski hills in three of B.C.â€™s parks Manning, Cypress and Seymour â€“ are offering deals on lift tickets.

If downhill is not for you, try cross-country skiing around Sovereign Lake at Silver Star Provincial Park or snowshoeing on Little White Mountain in Myra-Bellevue Provincial Park. Planning the best possible trip begins with a visit to the BC Parks website for activity information, park location and access. In addition to activities in BC Parks, the B.C. Family Day website (www.bcfamily-

Flurers score with San Francisco 49ersâ€™ owners

ampbell Riverâ€™s Flurer Smokery Ltd. was invited to have their products sampled at the province of British Columbiaâ€™s booth in the 38th Annual Winter Fancy Food Show in San Francisco on Jan 20-22. Brian and Kelly Flurer attended the show returning back Jan 24. There was over 4,500 vendors with fancy foods from around the world. This is the first year Flurer Smokery Ltd. was invited to showcase their Gourmet Hot Smoked Salmon (Fins). â€œIt was quite overwhelming with all the foodies that attended,â€? Kelly said. â€œWe estimate that over 60 people that dropped by our booth said we were best bite in the whole show. From investors to caterers our company was well received. One of the top caterers actually brought samples to the owners of the San Francisco 49ers

The RRSP contribution deadline is just three weeks away.

While 65% of Canadians say RRSPs will be their main source of retirement income, 49% donâ€™t plan to contribute this tax season, ďŹ nds a Scotiabank poll. Read: OAS change wonâ€™t disrupt retirement plans The Flurer Smokery made an impression on the owners of the San Francisco 49ers owners.

(Denise and John York). The owners loved the samples asking where the product came from. The caterer then said a small company on a small island in B.C. The owners then said tell the company that they are now the unofficial supplier of the San Francisco 49ers. â€œWhile attending the show we were honored to have a short interview with Consulate

General, Cassie Doyle. The Winter Fancy Food Show was an amazing international forum and we are now receiving inquires from companies abroad.â€?

â€œIt is a bit worrying that people might be relying on investments that they have yet to make,â€? says Mike Henry, senior vice president, retail payment, deposits and lending, Scotiabank. â€œEven making small contributions every month or year can really help your plans down the line.â€? Other top sources of retirement funding include savings (60%), the government (57%), work pension (52%) and selling their homes (22%).

Read: Under 35 and no plan â€œAs I like to tell my pre-retirement clients, there is no one dollar amount that youâ€™ll need for your retirement as every personâ€™s idea of retirement is unique,â€? says Bev Moir, senior wealth advisor, retirement planning at ScotiaMcLeod. She adds, â€œThe key is to start investing early, invest regularly and stay invested. Having a ďŹ nancial plan in place to help you map out what you can do throughout the year is a simple way to stay on track and look forward to making that allimportant RRSP contribution worry-free.â€?

Drive Smart BC Changing Lanes 2X14 Traffic and Merging Would you write something in one of your articles about people turning at intersections and immediately going into the right lane and cutting off other motorist merging into traffic? This is one of my biggest pet peeves in the traffic world. I have seen and experience where to person who is merging is getting the horn and finger wave even though they were in the right. TYEE CHEV Actually, after considering the situation that you are describing I would contend that both of the drivers that you describe could behave more responsibly. The answer does depend on whether the merging motorist has an acceleration lane to use or is facing a yield sign when they turn right at the intersection. Let’s examine both situations. If there is an acceleration lane, both the driver that had turned left and the merging driver have an equal duty to change lanes safely and must not affect the travel of another vehicle when they do so. In a situation like this I think we should follow the lead of other jurisdictions and mark the division between the through lanes with a solid white on the left and a broken white line on the right. This would prevent the traffic in the fast lane from moving right and making it more difficult for the merging driver. When there is a yield sign, our right turn driver must yield the right of way to all other traffic. This means the traffic in the fast lane as much as it means the traffic in the slow lane. While our fast lane driver still must not change lanes unless it is safe, he has more right to change lanes than our driver facing the yield sign has to proceed in a case like this. The author is a retired constable with many years of traffic law enforcement experience. To comment or learn more, please visit www. drivesmartbc.ca. Cst. Tim Schewe (Rtd.), DriveSmartBC

BDC seeks young entrepreneurs The Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) is accepting applications for the 2013 edition of the BDC Young Entrepreneur Award. To win a $100,000 Grand Prize, entrepreneurs aged 18 to 35 are invited to present a turning point their company has reached and the solution they propose to take their business to the next level. A second prize, consisting of $25,000 in consulting services, will be awarded to the

BDC Young Entrepreneur Award runnerup. The deadline for submitting applications is April 2, 2013, at noon, Eastern Daylight Time. “Showcasing and supporting Canada’s best business talent is an important aspect of our mandate,” says Michel Bergeron, Senior Vice President, Marketing and Public Affairs at BDC. “The BDC Young Entrepreneur Award is the premier venue to shine a spotlight on some of

the challenges young business owners face today.” The contest is open to all Canadian entrepreneurs aged 18-35 as of Dec. 31, 2012. Entrants must be Canadian citizens or permanent residents responsible for the daily management of a Canada based business for at least two years as of December 31, 2012, and must hold at least 20 per cent of the company’s capital stock.

describing a turning point their business has reached and the solution that will help them achieve future growth. This video – which need not be professionally produced – should clearly explain the turning point solution, have good image and sound quality and be memorable. All entries have to describe a project that has yet to be implemented. “All companies reach a turning point,” says Bergeron. “Some may choose to tap into new markets by implementing an internet strategy; others may decide to acquire new equipment that will increase their overall profitability. Recognizing challenges early on and having a plan to tackle individual turning points is important for business and should rank high on an entrepreneur’s agenda.” “The value of participation goes beyond the monetary value of the award,” adds Bergeron. “The entire experience brings finalists tremendous exposure, public support, and access to people and resources that will ultimately help their companies grow. As impressive as the monetary awards may be, a better reason to compete is to get

noticed by potential customers and investors.” Applications must be filled out and submitted online at http:// www.bdcyoungentrepreneuraward.ca/. More infor mation about 2013 BDC Young Entrepreneur Award eligibility criteria, the application process, the rules and regulations and the format of the video submissions is available on the contest’s microsite. About the BDC Young Entrepreneur Award contest: Created by the Busin e s s D eve l o p m e n t Bank of Canada in 1988, the BDC Young Entrepreneur Award contest pays tribute to remarkable Canadian entrepreneurs between 18 and 35 years of age. Eleven finalists — one for each province and one for the combined territories — are short-listed to compete for a $100,000 Grand Prize. The winners are selected by public vote and a second prize of $25,000 in consulting services is awarded to the contest runner-up. The Financial Post and La Presse are the media partners of the 2013 BDC Young Entrepreneur Award. www. bdc.ca/yea

With sad hearts we said good-bye to our father and friend Roy Crawford Forrester. Roy passed away peacefully, with his family by his side on Monday Feb. 4, 2013 at the C.R. Hospital. He is predeceased by his wife and partner June and a long line of four legged friends. Roy leaves behind his daughters Sandra Parrish (Greg) and Catriona Beauchesne (Mark) and grandchildren Laura (Mark Lihou) and Ian Parrish and one special great grandchild Deven Lihou. Dad’s shovel and clippers may lay still but the beauty of his beloved garden remains alive and vibrant. His sense of humor, kindness and common sense will remain with us all for years to come. A gathering in Roy’s garden will take place at a future date when the sun is shining and the ﬂowers in bloom. Thanks to the excellent staff at the C.R. Hospital, Dr. de Bruin & Dr. MacNeill for their care and support. In lieu of ﬂowers, donations may be made to the Campbell River Hospital Foundation. Roy has joined June in the “Land o’ the Leal”

1-855-310-3535

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our loving mother and wife, Beverley Wattie. Bev was born on February 14, 1930 and passed away at Campbell River Hospital, Saturday evening, February 2nd, 2013. Bev was predeceased by her infant son Alan, her adult daughter Diana and her brother Harold. Mom was an amazing woman, who exhibited wonderful Godly qualities that were an inspiration to all that knew her. Mom exhibited wonderfully to us the fruits of the spirit, as she was selfless, joyful, kind, forgiving, peaceful and giving. She was as the book of Proverbs, chapter 31 describes the virtuous woman whose worth was far above rubies. Mom was always putting others first, herself last. She gave her all to her family and friends, right up to her passing on Saturday. We miss her terribly, but we rejoice in knowing she is more alive today than ever as she has entered God’s presence to enjoy the place that He has prepared for her. We are grateful for the life that Mom shared with us all. Family and friends, we thank you for all your great support and kindness that many have already expressed in this time of sorrow. Thank you to you all. Bev leaves behind her husband of almost 60 years, Bob, her daughter Linda and husband Craig, son Doug (Shelly), grandchildren, Ben and Megan. Once again thank you to the abundance of many friends she shared life with these past 57 years in Campbell River. For those who wish to say their goodbyes to Bev, there will be a memorial service held on Friday, February 8th at St. Peter’s Anglican Church at 2p.m. In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society or the Campbell River Hospital Foundation in Bev’s memory would be appreciated.

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 firm friends with the family. Earl received his BA (and later his M Ed), then went to Victoria Normal School to obtain his teaching certification, and where he first met Marilyn. His first 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 first 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 fishing, 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 Earl’s life and his family’s easier over the past few years, including Monique, the community at Altrusa, and the compassionate staff at New Horizons. A celebration of Earl’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 flowers donations to the Campbell River Hospital Foundation would be appreciated. ‘A life well lived’.

Donations by Vancouver Island Insurance Centres helps screen criminal activity Campbell River Citizens on Patrol (COP) recently purchased Galaxy II tablets with funding provided by Va n c o u ve r I s l a n d InsuranceCentres (VIIC) – Campbell River branches. Do gwood Branch Office Manager Kathy Ferreira said: “Vancouver Island InsuranceCentres was pleased to support Campbell River Citiz ens on

Patrol and their significant involvement in working diligently to reduce crime within our community. Reduction in crime relates to fewer insurance claims, related victim trauma and allows the RCMP to focus on other priorities.” “The new equipment will enable the organization to be much more efficient and productive in running

license plates under the ICBC Stolen Auto Recovery Program,” said COP President Wilf Gagnon. His organization will be down loading information from Crime Stoppers to the Galaxy tablets and that this infor mation would be updated on a regular basis. The tablets will also be utilized in other COP activities including Speed Watch,

Counter Attack, Lock it or Lose it and multiple agency road checks. A secondary project, which earmarked funds to establish a COP website, was also funded by Vancouver Island InsuranceCentres. Included in this new initiative will be an exploration of social media opportunities with the RCMP and Crime Stoppers.

Podium of Life

Corey Harle won a gold in skier cross,left, and Melly Pemble won gold in slalom and giant slalom at the skier cross. Most of the students, teachers, and coaches of Podium of Life Snow Sports Academy raced in the skier cross on Mount Washington over the weekend. All four skiers all start at the same time and race to the end, making for an exciting event. In the sometimes narrow course, athletes have to race around gates while manoeuvring for position. To make things more exciting, there are jumps and steep turns that challenge the competitors. In the end it is a frightening elimination race. T he members of Podium of Life, a school on Mount Washington, entered the race. Justin Watt, Grade 5, won a silver and narrowly edged out Hayden Harley, Grade 4, who won a bronze. Kieran Harley, Grade 6, won a gold medal. Sylvi Nymann, Grade 7, raced to a silver medal and her older sister in Grade 9, Maja Nymann won a gold. Dillan Glennie and

Warriors fall short of cup berth Campbell River’s U13 Boys rep team, the CRYSA Warriors, hosted three teams last weekend at Willow Point Park who were vying for the Upper Island berth in the Island Invitational Cup. The opening of the round-robin tournament saw the Campbell River squad face off against their Comox rivals Saturday morning and while they controlled large portions of the game, holding

the Comox team in their own half, the back of the net was elusive, while Comox took advantage of lapses to win the game 3-1. Next up for Campbell River was Nanaimo,a game in which the Warriors regained the confidence and scoring ability that have put them on top of the Upper Island Soccer Association divisional standings during the regular season, finishing with a 3-1 win over Nanaimo.

Sunday’s final game had Campbell River matched up against Mid-Isle, a team rapidly improving in the standings. Campbell River came out with confidence, pressuring Nanaimo into mistakes deep in the opposing team’s end, and converting two of several opportunities into goals. The first half ended 2-1 Campbell River. In the second half, MidIsle had re-grouped, foiling Campbell Riv-

Island rep at the Island Invitational Cup, to be held in a month against the Lower Island’s representative team. Campbell River coaches and players see the tournament as a final opportunity to learn about these opponents as they head into Provincial Cup play-off games, starting this Sunday, Feb 10, when Campbell River hosts nemesis the Comox TimberWolves here at Cedar School field, 1 pm.

er’s attacking style with a defensive formation that held up despite great effort by the Warriors. A defensive error allowed a long ball into the Warrior net, tying the game for a long time, until near the end when a final Mid-Isle goal brought the game to a conclusion at 3-2 for Mid-Isle. Mid-Isle finished top of the round-robin tournament, winning all three of its games, and will be the Upper

Georgia Watt, Grade 7, had brilliant starts but were edged out of the medal positions. Erin Sketchley, Grade 8, sped to a fourth place finish while Kole Harle, Grade 9, earned a silver medal. Even the coaches and teachers of Podium of Life raced. Corey Harle, cofounder of the school, won a gold in the women’s 18 and over category. While the other cofounder, Shane Harle, won a bronze. During the weekend there was also a slalom and giant slalom race. Kole Harle won two golds, Maja Nymann won two silvers, Sylvi Nyman won a bronze and earned a fourth place finish while Kieran Harley won a silver and a bronze medal. The third event was a disabled race with racers from all over the province. Mel Pemble skied to two gold medals on the first day and a silver and bronze on the second.

The sun was glistening, my heart was pounding, the races had begun. That was the feeling Mel Pemble was getting while on Mount Washington last weekend during the first race of the season for Disabled Skiers Associaton of B.C. But before the race, came the training. Coached by Sue Greenberg ‘Building our Best’ was two wonderful sunny days of focused ski development; Slalom and GS. For the race, athletes came from all over including SilverStar, Whistler

Mel Pemble, third from left, won several medals at the Disabled Skiers Association of B.C. race at Mount Washington last weekend. and Grouse. The training days went by fast and soon it was race day. “Day 1 was an early start and my favouriteGS,” Pemble says. “The course was open for inspection and it was nice and rhythmic too.

The sky hadn’t brought snow for a couple of weeks so it was fairly icy, bringing the need to sharpen edges and wits. I was one of the early racers with bib number seven and as I skied down I heard my name being called. At the last

Day 2 for Pemble brought the Slalom, a tighter and more technical race. Despite the nerves, Pemble stayed strong won a silver on her first run. She then won the bronze in her second run despite a challenging start. “The second run my pole got stuck under my ski at the start gate and flipped my ski off, but the rest of the run was great and I got the bronze.”

Martial artists fight it out for national berth Last weekend two local girls competed for the right to attend Karate Canada National Championships held in Toronto on March 15-17. Valerie Doyon competed in the girls 16/17 division and qualified in both the kata (forms) and the kumite (sparring) divisions. Courtenay Brake competed in girls 16/17 kumite in her attempt at going to nationals and qualified in her division. This is Doyonsâ€™ second trip to nationals, taking a bronze medal last year. The girls were both in the same division so had to compete against each other in order to qualify; fortunately they do this regularly at the Campbell River Karate Club several times a week so they werenâ€™t nervous, says their coach Roy Tip-
