Final piece of the ‘Heart of Quadra parks’ secured Years of “close, but no cigar” negotiations concluded Wednesday when it was announced that the province, with support from several groups, will be acquiring almost 400 hectares of private property on Quadra Island, linking two provincial parks to further protect unique and sensitive ecosystems.

The province will purchase three parcels of private land on Quadra Island from Merrill & Ring Forestry L.P. for $5.85 million, including a donation of $350,000 from the forest company and $200,000 raised in the community by Quadra Island Conservancy and Stewardship

Society and Save the Heart of Quadra Parks.

“Quadra Islanders are really excited that the northern parks on Quadra have finally been completed,” said Ken Roxburgh, chair, Quadra Island Conservancy and Stewardship Society. “I would like to thank the many people who contributed and who worked so hard on the campaign to raise $200,000 as a statement of local support for this land acquisition.”

As a result, Small Inlet Marine and Octopus Islands Marine provincial parks will be connected, increasing the island’s designated protected area. With

numerous bays and small islands, these parks serve as habitat for a host of marine life including salmon, harbour seals, porpoises and octopi.

This acquisition will improve access for recreational opportunities including boating, kayaking, fishing, wilderness camping and hiking.

Important archaeological sites and a historic portage route will be protected.

A number of partners will be contributing to this purchase, including: n Merrill & Ring Forestry L.P. ($350,000) n BC Marine Parks Forever Society ($433,000) n Quadra Island Con-

servancy and Stewardship Society and Save the Heart of Quadra Parks ($200,000) n Vancity Community Foundation, supported

by Vancity Credit Union, is funding $186,940 and acquires the rights to carbon offsets resulting from the protection of the acquired area.

To complete the transaction, the province will provide $2.7 million in cash to Merrill & Ring Forestry L.P. Two parcels of land on nearby East Thurlow Island worth almost $2 million will be given to the forestry company through a land exchange.

The total provincial contribution will be

approximately $4.68 million, or about 80 per cent of the land value.

This includes a bequest of $901,308 to BC Parks from John Locke Mal-

Fire: Took several hours to extinguish blaze Continued from Pg. 1

wood frame house at 2259 Fearon Rd. Strong, swirling winds fanned the flames as members of the Oyster River Volunteer Fire Department contained the blaze to the house, ensuring that flying embers didn’t ignite neighbouring homes.

It took several hours to fully extinguish the smouldering beams and after a thorough examination by a fire inspector Tuesday, it was determined the house should be demolished.

Mom and dad are grateful everyone is okay, but they had no fire insurance and have lost almost all their belongings including a computer which held all

the information for their business, Clean Sweep Chimneys.

The heat also melted the front of Johnson’s work truck which is also a write-off.

“We’re very grateful for the firefighters who saved a few photo albums for us. It means a lot,” says Bouzane.

The couple is also grateful for the tremendous support they’re receiving from family, friends and neighbours.

But Johnson admits it’s been difficult receiving so much when they’re used to giving.

“To be on the receiving end – and I didn’t think I would say this – is hard, but we’re extremely appreciative,” he says.

“Overall we’re doing okay. So many people

are helping that it’s hard to focus on the bad.”

The couple did get some good news from the bank that a twoyear mortgage would be extended. Another neighbour is donating the use of a machine to tear down the home, while Walco Industries is donating a dump bin, and other friends have set up various ways to donate to the family (see below).

It’s been a tumultuous week for the family and the couple know they should have done a few things better: Make sure you have working smoke alarms, don’t procrastinate on house insurance, and make sure you have thorough escape plan, they advise others.

“It was crazy and it was

scary and it happened so fast, maybe 30 to 40 seconds…it’s incredible we’re sitting here,” says Bouzane. n Donations of items can be dropped off with their friends, the Robertsons, at 2239 Fearon Rd. Oyster River and in Courtenay at 2603B Tater Place. n The Return It Centres in Courtenay and Campbell River have an account set up in the family’s name. n Cash donations can also be dropped off to the family’s trust at TD Bank. n You can also go online and to www.youcaring.com and search for “Lyle Johnson.” n Links are also available on Facebook: www. facebook.com/HelpingKellyandLyle

kin estate, and $829,631 from the Pacific Marine Heritage Legacy trust.

Merrill & Ring have owned the land between Small Inlet Marine and

Octopus Islands Marine provincial parks since the late 1800’s. The lands were first identified for protection by the province in 1995.

Purple day is a day dedicated to raising awareness about epilepsy. Taylor is one of many people in the community living with epilepsy and is asking for people to show their understanding and acceptance for a condition that affects 300,000 people in Canada. Epilepsy is a medical condition that causes a person to have recurring seizures caused by excessive discharges of electrical impulses in the brain. Seizures can vary in frequency and severity from only occasionally to hundreds of times a day.

Council bends to accommodate Willows Pub rezoning Kristen Douglas

Campbell RiveR miRRoR

Council had to go against its own policy Tuesday night in order to facilitate the sale of the Willows Pub. After holding a public hearing for a change to the city’s official community plan, council proceeded to pass third reading and adoption of the amendment.

Council traditionally waits until two weeks has passed following the public hearing before approving bylaw or community plan amendments.

“While it is council’s policy to wait until the next meeting of council before considering third reading, it does have the discretion not to observe its policy should it so choose,” wrote Chris Osborne, city planner, in a report to council.

Council sped up the process in order to accommodate the sale of the Rockland Road pub to Storey Creek Trading, which council was told has a closing date of March 31.

Storey Creek Trading plans to convert the Willows Neighbourhood Pub into office space however, the city’s sustainable official community plan does not support office or commercial use in residential neighbourhoods.

In order to allow the pub to be converted to office space, council Tuesday night approved an addition to the com-

munity plan which considers “the adaptive reuse of existing commercial buildings in village centres, neighbourhood centres, and neighbourhood-controlled development areas with uses that do not unreasonably impact adjacent properties, so as to avoid dark buildings in these key locations.”

Coun. Andy Adams thanked staff during Tuesday’s council meeting for making it possible for council to speed up the process.

“I want to recognize staff for finding a way and taking council’s direction to expedite this,” Adams said.

Sue Thulin, co-owner of the Willows Pub, asked council last month to approve the re-zoning as the pub is a time-consuming venture and she’s ready to retire.

Thulin said the pub will be closing March 30 as no one has come forward with an offer to buy the building and continue to run it as a pub.

Council was sympathetic to Thulin and also agreed it would rather see the pub converted to office space rather than have the building sit empty.

But council’s hands were tied unless it made a change to the official community plan.

“Under B.C. provin-

cial statute, once an OCP (official community plan) is adopted, any subsequent bylaw enacted or works undertaken must be consistent with that OCP,” Osborne wrote.

“Council is therefore legally obliged to amend its OCP first if it wishes to enact any bylaw if that new bylaw would be otherwise inconsistent with the OCP.” While city staff crafted the appropriate change to the community plan to accommodate the Willows Pub sale, Osborne warned council that the change could encumber council on future development proposals.

“It will weaken, to an unknown extent, council’s ability to resist unsuitable use proposals

throughout the city in the future, should it wish to do so if/when presented with an inappropriate land use proposal,” Osborne wrote.

Osborne also explained to council why changing the official community plan is not as simple as a re-zoning amendment.

“Amending the OCP to facilitate this application is not a simple matter of changing from one designation to another, as per a typical zoning amendment,” Osborne wrote.

“The reason is that a change in one OCP policy cannot bring that policy into conflict with other policies elsewhere in the OCP without in turn requiring changes to those policies, and so on.”

Our View

Jim Flaherty leaves tough shoes to fill The resignation of Finance Minister Jim Flaherty on Tuesday is a pivotal moment for the Conservative government of Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

Flaherty has been the only finance minister Harper has had, since he We say: He has became prime minister in January, 2006. been Stephen A former Ontario finance minister, he has developed a reputation for being Harpers only careful with taxpayers’ dollars, seeking finance minister ways to save them money (a reduction in the GST and Tax Free Savings Accounts being two examples) and paying down the debt as soon as possible.

In many ways, he resembles Paul Martin, who was one of Canada’s most successful finance ministers and did a great deal to keep the government of Jean Chretien in power.

Unlike Martin, Flaherty is moving beyond federal politics. Martin coveted Chretien’s job and the struggle between them did a great deal of damage to the government and the Liberal Party.

Harper does not have a lot of ministers or backbenchers who could replace Flaherty.

He has chosen Joe Oliver, the 73-year-old natural resources minister, to take over. Clearly, his tenure will not be as long as Flaherty’s.

Oliver does have a lot of experience in the financial industry, and is a competent minister. He should be able to take the government into the October, 2015 election.

He does not have the experience of overseeing the massive spending of a large government body.

However, he can use the tools Flaherty has handed over, and present a balanced budget in the next fiscal year. That will be a plus for a government going into the election.

Economic competence is one of the Conservative government’s core strengths, and is vital for a finance minister.

Letters

Blame big biotech A reply to “Average person is unable to distinguish between real science and pseudo science.”

It is obvious the author of the subject article of March 5 is very pro genetically-engineered food, commonly referred to as GE or GMO food. Is it that the average person is unable to distinguish between real or pseudo science or that the average person has a distrust of big biotech corporation funded science? Biotech companies make the GE seeds and the science these big corporations fund has provided a veritable smorgasbord of pseudo science: studies that are found to be lacking in duration, studies that were stopped, studies with questionable guidelines and studies that were never peer reviewed or published. And then there are big corporation data packages given to regulating agencies that are secret.

Do not blame the average person’s ability to understand real or pseudo science, blame the big biotech corporations’ actions and spin for the loss of trust of their science.

Larger-than-life man who now walks with the spirits “Over the next few months I will be telling my life story, starting where I grew up and the journey to the present, I hope you will find it as fascinating as it was to live it, this journey is what has shaped my style and passion for my art.”

Richard Krentz March 4, 2014

Paul Rudan No, really

Two days after he wrote this on his Facebook page, Richard Krentz died quietly in his sleep.

Just 68 years old, Krentz’ death stunned his family and huge circle of friends who never saw this coming...at least not so soon.

I don’t say this often, but Krentz was one of the very few individuals I’ve met who seem larger than life.

It was his towering frame which he carried with grace and ease; his huge smile and booming laugh; and the indomitable spirit that inspired so many people.

Krentz packed many lives into his lifetime: a commercial fisherman, a bullish logger, a skilled carver, a maker of fine jewellry, a master of the bentwood box, BBQ chef extraordinaire, new media guru, entrepreneur, and father.

And behind all this was Krentz’ desire and energy to promote First Nations culture and heritage, and an unshakeable belief that his people need to keep moving forward.

Krentz never forgot the past, but he certainly didn’t live in it. The last time I saw him was in October when he made five huge bentwood boxes, created to

be the centrepiece of a new aboriginalthemed show. His vision was to create something unique and inspiring to show the rest of the world everything good about his people.

Not surprisingly, Krentz’ bold attitude rubbed some fellow aboriginal people the wrong way and he was routinely criticized for doing things differently.

But it rarely, if ever, bothered him and there was certainly far more respect than criticism.

“Richard will be deeply missed by many of us,” wrote Keith Henry, president of the BC Metis Federation which held a celebration of Krentz’ life in Stanley Park last Sunday and has posted some wonderful online video tributes.

I couldn’t be there. Instead, I thought

of Krentz in the splendid red cedar long house he built behind his home at Saratoga Beach. We spent many hours there talking, sharing food and laughing.

Under that roof I met Maori royalty and watched in awe as Krentz and two buddies used steam to make the huge bentwood boxes.

And now, this larger-than-life man “walks in the spirit world” and I give thanks for everything he gave us in this world. nnn My condolences, as well, to the family of Bevan Williams, 78, who died March 7. Williams lived an incredible life in spite of having Parkinson’s disease for more than 40 years. It was real pleasure to meet him last year. Rest well, gents.

Aquarium gears up for a second season The Discovery Passage SeaLife Society, which operates the Discovery Passage Aquarium, will be holding its first Annual General Meeting on April 2 in the Thulin Room, Maritime Heritage Centre, from 6:30-8:30 p.m.

Following the aquarium’s successful first season, the society will be taking this opportunity to reflect on what it has accomplished, as well as share its goals for the coming year and the future.

They are inviting the public to join them. You can learn more about what they do and the programs and opportunities available to you, your family, schools and community groups. Society mem-

berships and season passes will be on sale at the AGM. They welcome help with all aspects of the aquarium and would also love to meet potential volunteers. If you have an interest in the aquarium, the ocean, or public education, they hope you will be able to join them.

Aquarium staff shared the delights of the local marine environment with over 12,500 locals and visitors during the incredibly successful first season. Many families returned time and time again, often bringing their relatives and other company. Residents who thought that they knew the marine life of the area were

astounded to see the diversity of creatures on our ‘doorstep’, and everyone between the ages of eight months and 80 years young found something to enchant them.

The season culminated in the release of their aquatic ‘guests’ back into the ocean. Season pass holders who tallied the greatest number of visits were invited to the release party, and helped return crabs, whelks, seastars, pipefish, nudibranchs, sea cucumbers and more to the beach. Fish and other delicate critters were taken by boat back to their original habitats by aquarium staff and volunteers.To find out more, visit discoverypassageaquarium.ca

Thoughts on the future of Campbell River O A n March 19, Campbell River Mirror editor Alistair Taylor presented ideas of what he’d like to see happen in Campbell River over the next few years and he invited

T

hank you for ‘Out on a limb’ March 12, 2014 asking for my vision of Campbell River.

What I would like to see for Campbell River is what I would like to see for all communities.

I’d like to see a community where everyone: individuals, families, neighbourhoods, the business community, the social service sector, the environmental sector and the municipal government recognizes that we are all in this together. I’d like to see a community that understands increased reliance on food banks, lack of meaningful work for people with disabilities, increased vulnerabilities for young children, homelessness, family violence and addictions, amongst many others, diminish the quality of life for the whole community. I’d like to see

Y

our article in yesterday’s Mirror was encouraging, and brainstorming often brings out new and exciting topics.

We will achieve many important goals if the city acts on a positive thinking agenda for the future of our beautiful community.

The Sea Walk and oceanfront is a large part of making Campbell River a delightful place to call home. A lot of work has been done, but let’s keep working to complete the plans presented almost 10 years ago for the Old

T

ourist’s All Inclusive Vacation Packages in Campbell River.

Possible ideas: One week all-inclusive with hotel and various venues booked for dinner out and boxed lunch to take fishing.

Day one: guided fishing trip. Day two: free day with provided map showing available fishing spots on lakes and rivers. Discounted weekly car rental.

Day four: fly tying lesson and seafood boxed dinner to take to the beach.

Day five: tour of the fish hatchery and afternoon fishing on the pier complete with waffle ice cream cones.

One week all-inclusive arts and crafts vacation. Day one: visit Sybil Andrew cottage and sketching class on the beach. Day two: photography tour on the Campbell River including over-

readers to submit their own. Well, the response was strong and we present some of them here. If others would still like to contribute, e-mail: editor@campbellrivermirror.com.

a community that recognizes social conscience and economic success are intertwined.

I’d like to see a community that chooses to come together to talk about the things that affect it most directly, with a mind to developing a broad-based social policy framework that could guide decision-making, set directions for the future, identify important connections – inside and outside the community – and lead to better results for the health and wellbeing of children, families, and the community.

I’d like to see a community that is willing to take the risk of talking and listening to all of its members.

For many years, my husband and I have been supporting Hospice and now in our eighties they are encouraging us. The work and dedication the staff and volunteers have is noteworthy.

A Hospice House in Campbell River alongside the new hospital would be a dream come true.

Iris Salter Campbell River night stay at the Haig-Brown house.

Day three: Art Gallery and Farmer’s market. Day four: free day to shop and tour town with complimentary all day bus passes. Day five: Wei Wai Kum House of Treasures and Museum of Campbell River followed up with a seafood dinner in town.

One week all inclusive including scuba diving, snorkelling, Swimming With The Salmon, and river rafting on the Nimpkish.

One week all inclusive including family dog. Every day a new walking trail with picnic lunches, doggie treats, bowl and drinking water, and all day complimentary bus passes.

listair! Why is it that when we speak of imagining ‘ideal’ communities, so often the role of arts and culture is left out?

There was NO MENTION of it in your piece, yet if you examine positive, progressive and engaging quality-of-life communities around the world, you will find that the arts scene is a leader in the very indicators that create quality-of-life experiences.

The arts in Campbell River are provincial leading.

We are far more integrated into the community, across all sectors, than is generally understood.

We are engaged with seniors (music therapy programs), youth (notably marginalized and at-risk), schools (our Banner Program is embedded in 13 local schools and our educational program in partnership with the Pacific Salmon Foundation will speak to 2000 kids this year!) and multiple health organizations over the years including Head Injury Support Group, Stroke Recovery

A

listair, enjoyed your editorial in the Mirror this a.m. and I could not agree more! And I’m also taking advantage of your invitation to follow-up with you!

First, I am an avid supporter of keeping the 3.5 acre site pubic assembly.

I live in Willow Point with lovely highway updates and seawalk extensions and, unfortunately, we couldn’t even keep our Subway here – they moved to the new Hilchey/Dogwood shopping centre. So now tourists taking the ‘scenic’ route into town have no incentive to stop in this area because there’s nowhere to grab a sub or a burger or some chicken to feed the kids and enjoy Frank James Park or the other three pull-outs between the boat launch and Hilchey. In fact, most of the vehicles I see at one of the pullouts is just overflow parking for Rehab in Motion clients and staff.

I mentioned this to the city but, as usual, there’s nothing they can do. Won’t even put up a two-hour limit sign!

Interestingly, I was recently told

by Ross Blackwell that the devel-

7x3.5

Association, the Hospital, Family Services, Social Planning Action Committee, Streetreach and on...

Many of these programs go under the radar for the public eye, but they are an essential resource used by local agencies daily.

Our Public Art Policy has been many years in the making and looks like it will finally start to emerge.

Public art is a MAJOR tool to assist in the placemaking that serves to bring an identity to downtown communities, streets, parks and buildings.

We are present at all community public forums and have been tireless advocates for positive economic, social and cultural development in Campbell River.

The Museum, Art Gallery, Tidemark Theatre, Arts Council, InFilm, along with local singing groups, theatre groups, writers, dance, photography, film... we have it all!

The arts are a resource and partner for any initiative in town, whether resource based, environ-

mental, recreational, revitalization plans, beautification, health or educational development. Creative thinking finds the needed links between us.

If you want to go shoulder to shoulder into any challenge facing a community, I highly recommend having the arts sector alongside you.

As a flexible, creative, responsive and thoughtful partner, the arts are survivors and have the skills needed to weather the bad times and prosper in the good times.

A future Campbell River? One based on the creative economy.

Inclusive, compassionate, curious, exploratory!

A place for young and old alike to celebrate what it means to be alive and puts in place the very things that bring meaning to life...

The arts are deserving of mention.

oper of the new shopping area told the city he would not have any ‘fast food’ outlets and yet I see they have our Subway and a pizza place – to attract the school kids, I guess! Developer obviously not afraid of any backlash from City Hall!

I hear we’re getting a Tim Horton’s in Willow Point – nice, but hardly the place you stop with a car full of hungry kids, in my experience! If you want to get a burger or a bucket of chicken, you can’t stop until you’re right downtown!

While I am a senior, and not a current member of the Seniors Centre Society, I sympathize with their plight to find a home.

Last fall, I was in communication with Ross Blackwell with regard to empty buildings/spaces – and why they remain so. He said that, in many cases, it was more lucrative to the owner to leave the space vacant! In my own experience, my hairdresser had to move from Willow Point to the Oyster River store because her rent was too high – and the space she left remains empty over two years later!

I don’t understand why the old SuperValu location is still vacant – why couldn’t it be turned into a flea market/food court or something similar to what they have in Coombs? If it’s not suitable for retail, then why not the Seniors’ Centre? It’s central, has parking, bus service.

I’m forwarding my correspondence with Ross Blackwell last fall with respect to vacant buildings.

I’ve also forwarded him a lot of information on public waterfront revitalization – and always with the same result: “thank you for the info – appreciate you took the time...” Perhaps if I were a ‘consultant’ and held a ‘charette’ and charged $10,000 for this research, the city would be more inclined to take note!

I apologize that this is so disjointed, Alistair, kind of just the way my mind works these day!

Looking forward to more of your “ideal” Campbell River thoughts in future editions.

Thank you for the opportunity to join in!

Corrine Diane Furtado July 30, 1957-March 17, 2014

2x6 YPCR

Corrine Diane Furtado, 56, passed away at home with her family by her side on the morning of March 17, 2014.

She was born in Campbell River, BC on July 30, 1957 to the late Sharon Biggs and Raymond Biggs. She graduated from Caledonia High School in Terrace, BC. After high school Corrine became an operator at BC Tel. She married the love of her life, Manuel Furtado, on July 7th, 1979.

Corrine is survived by her sister, Laurie Biggs (Rob), brother Glenn Biggs (Josiane) and her children Candice Prokopchuk (Mike) and Tyler Furtado (Michelle). She is also survived by her four grandchildren; Logan, Ava, Gavin and Brayden. She will missed as well by many nieces and nephews.

In 1985 Corrine was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.

Forever the optimist, she didn’t let her disease get in her way of living life to the fullest. She enjoyed music, eagles, and trips in her convertible Volkswagen bug. Her life was rich with love and laughter. She truly lived her life for her family.

The family would like to extend their sincere appreciation to the following: Dr. Patti from UBC (pre-deceased) Dr. Smit, Dr. Baerg, Yolanda (GF Strong), Barb and Marleen and the nurses from HCN. Also, thanks to Gerri and all the wonderful home care workers that came into Corrine’s home to care for her over the years. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the local chapter of the MS Society.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Thursday, March 27th, at 4:00pm at the Maritime Heritage Centre in Campbell River, BC.

Teacher and writer Annette Yourk inspires and motivates her students.

Eric will astonish you

Using a deft combination of psychology, suggestion and stagecraft, Eric Samuels goes where other people can’t: inside your mind.

Samuels is The Mentalist. His shows have enthralled crowds right around the globe; engaging, energizing, and laugh-out-loud funny, they deliver on the “wow” factor as much as they entertain. Get ready for a highly interactive, fun, thoughtprovoking night that will have you thinking about what you’ve experienced for days. So if you don’t believe that someone could actually read your thoughts, it’s

He will blow your mind.

“It’s like Seth Godin & The Amazing Kreskin, morphed into one guy!” raves television producer Tim McCauley.

“I want to tell you how much I am enjoying this writing class,” wrote Joan Taylor during a recent course. “I feel like a sponge just soaking it all up and loving it. Thanks for sharing your expertise with our community. Great fun, expertise and advice.”

Yourk and Taylor’s course structure takes participants through a writing project from start to finish, from organization to story structure, writing craft and publishing options.

It’s geared to nonfiction writers but also works for fiction.

Participants delve into these subjects through discussion, class exercises and an overnight assignment. They’re invited to come with a short project in process, as the focus for these

activities.

“At the end of the workshop,” says Taylor, “our students are well launched into their writing.”

The fee is $86, which includes a binder of materials to guide continuing work. Register through Susanna Bonner of Cortes Literacy Now at 250-935-0347, in person at the Cortes Island Museum on Friday and Saturday afternoons, or at the Campbell River Art Gallery Tuesday to Saturday 12-5 p.m. You can register through the latter with Visa or MasterCard at 250-287-2261.

A happy ending!

Tina Simmon Yee from Golden, Colorado was vacationing in Cozumel, Mexico in February when she found a (waterproof) camera in the water while snorkeling. Hoping to find a clue as to whose it was, she plugged the card into her computer and found this picture with the Campbell River Mirror in it. She contacted the Mirror’s Facebook page and asked if anyone recognized the picture. Well, the posting got shared around the Mirror’s friends and it wasn’t long before Robert Brown posted “That is us!!! My mother was snorkeling in Cozumel and lost the camera in the water, they looked all over for it, but couldn’t find it.” The item got 1,289 shares and 54 comments. And the camera was returned to Nancy Brown. Yee told the Mirror, “If it hadn’t been for the picture of them holding the paper, I would have never known where to start the search.

Makes me want to take a picture of myself holding my hometown paper on all of my cameras.”

Back to New Guinea

Southern latitudes

Island Fisherman publisher and angler extraordinaire Larry Stefanyk took the Mirror fishing with him in Argentina.

Sarah, Fiona, Jim and Bessie McGeachy returned, in August 2013, for a visit to the Waria Valley of Papua New Guinea, where they had lived before coming to Campbell River in 1990. They took the Mirror with them.

LOCATIONS TO SERVE YOU BETTER

Fish are often the pet of choice when people desire a pet that requires minimal care. While home aquariums may not require substantial maintenance, they cannot go entirely ignored, either. When ignored, aquariums can quickly transform from a visually stunning habitat into a murky, algae-infested mess.

But as important as aquarium maintenance is, some additional factors can also influence the beauty of a home aquarium.

North Island College Celebrates NISOD Award Recipients

North Island College employees are once again being recognized on an international stage for outstanding contributions to their campuses and communities.

In May, instructors Laurie Fisher and Patricia Corbett-Labatt, and L ibrar y Te chnici an Diane Newman will be honoured at the National Institute for Staff and Organizational Development’s (NISOD) annual Excellence Awards.

NISOD is a consortium of community colleges committed to teaching excellence and student success. The Excellence Awards, held at the University of Texas in Austin, are an opportunity for institutions to recognize outstanding faculty, staff, and administrators.

More than 1,800 pro-

s

fessionals from over 400 community college and other institutions of higher learning worldwide will gather at the International Conference from May 25-28, to learn about new strategies and tools currently available to support learning and teaching excellence.

NIC’s President John Bowman says, “The Excellence Awards are an annual recognition of what is good about community colleges – an opportunity to celebrate those who have contributed to student success and our college’s mission.

Excellence is a quality or talent which surpasses ordinary standards and North Island College is extremely proud of this year’s NIC recipients – Laurie, Pat and Diane.”

Laurie Fisher, Early

Childhood Care and Education Instructor, is a strong advocate for students and works hard to ensure their success.

She is deeply involved in all aspects of child and youth care throughout the North Island College region, as well as with the Children’s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island.

“Laurie bounds with energy, enthusiasm and commitment to children, North Island communities, to our ECCE programs, and to NIC as an institution,” states Jocelyne Van Neste-Kenny, Dean, School of Health and Human Services.

over 28 years. She has embraced the growing demands of teaching in a post-secondary environment and has been a pioneer of distance teaching methods at the College.

She is committed to the success of students taking her math courses from around the world,

and has a special passion for Indigenous education.

“While Pat’s teaching is exemplary, so is her role as a leader,” says Caitlin Hartnett, Adult Basic Education Department Chair. “She is a mentor to her fellow faculty and an irreplaceable asset to

our communities.”

Diane Newman, Library Technician, has been the pillar of NIC’s Campbell River campus library for the last 11 years. Prior to that, she served the NIC community at its Port Hardy centre. She provides a welcoming space for stu-

Whether working with an individual student or with groups, Diane demonstrates the best in service – patience, knowledge, and openmindedness.

“Diane is a valued resource for all students and staff, as well as the community of Campbell River,” writes Mary Anne Guenther, Coordinator, Library Services. “She also serves as a role model to team members within the division through her collaborative consultation and commitment to lifelong learning and professional excellence.”

Dr. Ingrid Pincott, ND Naturopathic Physician Do you have depression, anxiety, hormonal imbalances, irritability for no reason, insomnia or an inability to handle stress? Are you now developing chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, menopause, PMS and frequent infections?

In both men and women if your adrenal glands are worn out then your body does not have the reserve to help you prevent these symptoms. At this point you may start to use sleeping medications for insomnia, caffeine to keep you alert and prescriptions for anxiety and depression.

Exhausted adrenals or hypoadrenia is not a diagnosis in conventional medicine.

Naturopathic medicine is very well suited to diagnose and recharge these very important “battery cells” called the adrenal glands. There is a treatment program for every budget that is geared for not only treatment but also prevention. Are you ready to get that spring back into your step?

Women entrepreneurs are one of the fastest growing segments of the Canadian economy...

and represent a growing economic force according to recent findings. A report on Canada’s business scene by the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce shows a 50 per cent increase in the number of self– employed women in Canada over the last 15 years. According to Statistics Canada there are now more than 826,000 women entrepreneurs in Canada who annually contribute in excess of $18 billion to Canada’s economy. The rate of growth of businesses run by women entrepreneurs is 60 per cent faster than those run by men, as 4 out of 5 new businesses are now started by women. ~ News Canada

How to balance your career and family The biggest challenge many of us face is how to balance the demands of family, friends, and career

W

hile we want happy and fulfilling lives outside of work, we have to make personal sacrifices in order to achieve our career aspirations. How do you balance those sacrifices so they don’t greatly interfere with your personal goals? How do you fit roles such as wife, mother, and friend into an already hectic schedule? Since time is precious, keeping a bal-

ance between the two worlds can be a challenge. Fortunately, with proper planning, balance is possible.

Set Your Priorities Early The first step to achieving balance is to get your family to agree on what the priorities should be. Realize that business success often requires long hours and travel. In these instances, support from your

family has to be there. Additionally, when children are involved, many people discover that they have to re-balance their lives so they have time to spend with the kids.

Consider What Is Right for You When placed in identical situations, no two people will make the same choices. Each person has to evaluate the

event and then make a decision based on what is right for her at the moment. Just because an outcome worked for one person, doesn’t necessarily mean it will work for another.

Prioritize your own commitments. Decide what is most important to you. Where do you want to spend your time and energy? How important is your career in the scheme of your life? How do you define success?

Every day we hear of increasing numbers of people who reach the pinnacle of their careers and decide it’s time to embark on a new stage of life.

They quit their jobs, start a family, change careers, or take an extended leave. Others start businesses out of their homes so they can be with their families.

Some companies are reluctant to support a person’s career advancement if they don’t know the person’s goals—both personal and professional.

Therefore, once you know what you want, communicate it to your management and get support. If the company will not support your personal goals as well as your professional ones, then it’s time to evaluate whether this is the right com-

pany for you.

Balance Points to Consider Before you make any drastic changes to your personal or professional life, consider the implications of each decision and how you plan to integrate the changes into your schedule. For example: • What effect will having children have on your life?

• How much time do you want to take off when you have a child?

• Do you want to come back to work full time?

• What support systems exist to help you?

• Will leaving at 5:00 allow you to get our work done? If not, are you willing to take work home?

• How much control do you have over your workload?

Different jobs have different requirements. Study your field to see if it meets your goals and aspirations. If not, it may be time to consider a change.

What’s Your Balancing Decision?

We all make sacrifices to get what we want. Think about where you want to be in 10 or 20 years and what it will take to get there.

Local Women MAKING A DIFFERENCE

Celebrating women in non-traditional occupations

I

t’s important to remember how far women have come in achieving equality with men, especially in the workplace.

While women have continued to shine in the traditionally female-dominated sectors, caring for, educating, and helping others, there hasalso been a recent rise in women taking on nontraditional occupations.

Here at The Campbell River Mirror, our of office is made up mainly women (only 4 men employees).

In an industry that has always been considered a ‘boy’s club’, we are proud to have eleven amazing women at the helm of this community’s newspaper.

There has always been an unfortunate under-

representation of women in hard news, business, and politics. But things are beginning to look up.

Did you know that women premiers now lead the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Newfoundland and Labrador, as well as the territory of Nunavut?

Christy Clark has been governing B.C. since March 2011, Alysson Redford is head of the

government in Alberta, Kathy Dunderdale was reelected premier of Newfoundland and Labrador in October 2011, and Eva Aariak has been Nunavut’s premier since November, 2008.

It’s no wonder why political parties understand the attraction of female leaders. They are seen as being credible and innovative. Many people believe that they will be more attentive to social issues, such as the preservation of the public health system and improvements in education.

Other less traditional occupations such as firefighting, trucking, and auto repair are

increasingly practiced by women. With such a high demand in B.C. for skilled tradespeople, now is the perfect time for women to consider a career in the trades. Tradeswomen of all ages are finding challenges, independence, good pay, and job satisfaction.

Campbell River wouldn’t be what it is today without the mining,

7x14

fishing and construction industry and women are beginning to be more prominent, whether it’s on-site in a trades position, or off-site in an office position.

At the end of the day, choosing a profession is a personal choice. Every industry has its value, and every person (male or female) has their own likes and dislikes.

Paula Marks opened the doors to Balloons ‘N’ More Party Shop in 2005. After years of working in the hospitality industry and planning events such as weddings, birthdays, corporate events just to name a few, it was time for a change. When she had the opportunity to open her own store, she believed it was the perfect balance of making a change while still dabbling in what she knew best.

Family Chiropractor

Decompression Laser Center Dr. Janis Guthy opened her Chiropractic Clinic on Dogwood Street over 7 years ago and continues to expand the services for her chiropractic patients while treating everything from severe headaches, sprained ankles to more complex neck and back pain.

Most recently she has added Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression and Laser Therapy to her clinic. This computerized apparatus relieves pressure on the spinal nerves through the use of a mechanical traction device that is applied in conjunction with a highly sensitive computer. This device is highly effective for relieving pain due to degenerative, herniated or protruded discs.

Having always embraced state-of-theart- therapy, Dr. Guthy has also added the latest technology for providing rejuvenating massage with the Thermal Shiatsu Massage Bed. In addition, Dr. Guthy has had much success in treating her patients who walk on unbalanced feet and as a result often create compensatory patterns in their ankles, knees, hips, and back. Along with foot treatment, Dr. Guthy provides comfortable Custom Pre-scripted Foot Orthotics.

Results may vary.

Whether women are finding themselves in ‘traditional’ or ‘nontraditional’ jobs, the victory is that women are continuing to increase their presence in the workforce within many different industries.

Hopefully one day the two categories will disappear and all industries will be equally populated with both women and men.

In Loving Memory

April 19, 1944 - March 12, 2014 Â Â Â Â

It is with deep sadness that our family announces the peaceful passing of Nancy Little after a brief struggle with cancer. She died at home in the arms of her husband, Rodger and surrounded by her immediate family and a few of her closest friends (family really). Just her style, a home full of the people she loved! As always, she was brave, gracious and positive, thinking of everyone around her, until the end.

She was a Mom, Nana, and Great Grandma. She loved her many nieces, nephews and step relatives and their families.

Nancy always enjoyed her career. In Port Hardy, she owned Gerry's fabric store and sewing shop. After moving to Campbell River in 1973, she returned to school to pursue accounting. She worked at several businesses including McFee Supply and Sayward Timber until she retired. On top of working full time, school and being a mom, she enjoyed cooking & entertaining, gardening, fishing, sewing, canning, crafts, boating and travel. Her latest loves were camping and riding ATVs. She wintered in Yuma, AZ for many years.

Nancy is survived by her husband, Rodger Thebeau; daughters, Cherie (Bill) Chalmers and Jorgina Little (John Robilliard); sons, Darcy and Tony Thebeau; 8 grandchildren, 3 in Campbell River: Trina (Al) and Mandy Chalmers, Lynsay (Aaron) Chalmers-Clarke and 5 grandchildren out of town, as well as six great-grandchildren. Brother David (Cecile) Reade, sister Connie Lucyk. She was predeceased by her mother and father, Doris & Ron Arbuthnot; brother, Doug Reade; daughter, Melanie Thebeau; brother-in-law, John Lucyk and niece, Marianne Lucyk.

Our family would like to give a special thank you to nurses, Barb and Marleen, and Dr. Leizl Sullivan and Dr. Allen, for their sincere care and compassion while helping Nancy through her illness. In addition, a heartfelt thank you to her very dear friend, Carol Smith, who dedicated herself to giving Nancy the best of care and friendship during her last few months.

A Memorial Service will be held on Sunday, April 13, 2014 at 1:00pm followed by a Reception and Celebration of Life at the Maritime Heritage Centre - 621 Island Highway.

Please, in lieu of flowers, donations can be made to local Campbell River charities: Cameryn’s Cause, CR Hospice or CR Transition House.

The most effective way to reach an incredible number of BC Sportsmen & women.

July 18, 1913 - March 11, 2014 Anna Mary (Urquhart) Grant, passed away peacefully, on March 11, 2014, in Chilliwack. She was predeceased by her eldest sister, Marjorie in 2013, younger siblings Clara (1999), Ken (2012), Edna (2012), and Don (1952).

Anna was born in Olds, Alberta on July 18, 1913, the second oldest of 6. From there the family moved to Salmon Arm. After graduating from high school and teachers training, she taught school in Magna Bay for 6 years, and Solsqua for 1 year.

Anna attended nursing training at Vancouver General Hospital, graduating in 1941.

While in Vancouver, Anna met Richard (Dick) Grant. They were married August 16, 1944 in Vancouver. Ann and Dick moved to Campbell River in the early 50â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at which time Anna returned to UBC for her diploma in Public Health. Anna spent many years as a public health nurse in Campbell River, retiring in 1978.

Ann and Dick loved to travel, visiting many countries throughout the world, collecting mementos of their journeys along the way. They were actively involved in the local Shriners and Daughters of the Nile, and enjoyed a game of bridge whenever possible. Dick passed away in 1983 and Anna continued to live in their house in Campbell River until her move to Chilliwack in 2010.

Anna celebrated her 100th birthday in 2013 with family and friends. She was an avid reader and partook in the occasional nip of Scotch. Even in her later years, her mind and her memory remained sharp, keeping those around her on their toes.

Anna is survived by nine nieces and nephews, many great nieces and nephews, great-great nieces and nephews and one great-great-great niece.

Per her request, there will be no service.

We will miss you Auntie Ann.

Mainstream Biological Pee Wee B Tyees strike gold on the Fraser Hurricanes Mainstream Biological Pee Wee B Tyees traveled to Pitt Meadows from March 14 to 17 for their final tournament of the year.

The Tyees opened the round robin with a tightly contested game against the host Ridge Meadow Rustlers. The score ended 1-1. Cole Devlin scored the lone Tyees goal, assisted by Kyle Billy and Nathan Lagos Tyees played their second game against the Portland Hawks. Down early after some bad bounces the team rallied with two intense periods, equaling their opponents play, but was unable to overcome the early deficit. The game ended with Portland up by a score of 6-4. Cole Devlin, Dakota Sinclair, Ridge Rosa, Hayden Campbell scored, with assists from Kayle Majic, Cole Devlin and Dakota Sinclair.

Mainstream Biological Tyees finished their round robin play with a game against Mission.

With the Tyees com-

ing into the game with a 0-1-1 record it appeared the opposition took the team lightly. Ten minutes into the first period CR was up by a score of 7-1.

Mission picked up their game but were unable to match the scoring pace of the Tyees. Tyees won the game 9-4 to finish second in their pool at the end of round robin play. Kyle Billy, Riory Young, Nathan Lagos, Dakota Sinclair, Jordan Baker, Robert Gurney and Tyler Downey scored, with assists from Nathan Lagos, Robert Gurney, Luka Kellerhals, Dakota Sinclair, Heydon Campbell, Ethan Mainprize and Kayle Majic.

In the semi-final, the Tyees met Portland Hawks for the second time in three days. In a see-saw game that saw Portland pull ahead, only to have Tyees tie the game up with a minute left in the third period, regulation ended in a tie, with each team having six tallies. Overtime was five minutes of 4-on-4, made even harder when

win silver

The Mainstream Biological Pee Wee B Tyees finished the season as winners in Pitt Meadows.

Tyees took a penalty while defending in their own zone. Goalie Jayce Hudak kept the team in the game, making a number of key saves over the next two minutes.

OT ended in a tie, with the match to be settled in a shootout. In the shootout, the first two rounds resulted in no goals. On the third set of shooters, Portland’s shooter

went for a deke and was poke checked by Hudak.

Heydon Campbell was then in a position to win the game. Coming in to shoot at an even pace, Campbell snapped the puck over the Hawks’ goaltender’s left shoulder, winning the game.

In the tournament final, Tyees met the undefeated Smithers Storm.

In a game that saw two

very evenly matched teams play a hard fought, physical game, the scoring came down to a few timely bounces. Tyees last goal saw a shot from winger Riory Young that bounced off a Storm player out to Ethan Mainprize. Mainprize shot and deflected off his linemate, Gordon Ludvigson, for what became the game winning goal.

We have it all!

With goals from Jordan Baker, Dakota Sinclair, Kyle Billy and Gordon Ludvigson, the Tyees captured the gold with a 4-3 victory.

Coach Vince Devlin said, “It was the best hockey they have played all season and a great way to end the year. The coaching staff couldn’t be more proud of their effort.”

The CRMHA Bantam Hurricanes come home with silver in their pockets March 9.

The Hurricanes captured silver for at the Island Championships in Lake Cowichan after coming in second in the Vancouver Island Female Bantam League. The first crossover game happened on March 8 against the third place team from Sooke. The Hurricanes fought hard the whole game and came out on top with a 2-0 win. The goals were scored by Tiffany Watson and an empty net goal for Julia mercer late in the game. Jessica Hynes earned a shut out for the game with her fabulous goal tending skills. In the gold medal game March 9, the Peninsula Eagles ended up with the 3-1 win for first place but not without a hard fought battle from the Hurricanes.

City’s lack of snow clearing frustrates pedestrians KRISTEN DOUGLAS

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Nearly one week after the city’s most recent snowstorm, Angela Macauley was dismayed to find the sidewalks still impassable.

Macauley, who lives on Hilchey Road, said the sidewalks along her street were covered in patchy ice and snow, making it difficult and treacherous for her to get around following a significant Sunday snowfall.

“I have two young children and must walk to most of my appointments using the sidewalk and a stroller,” Macauley told city council at its meeting Tuesday night. “The

sidewalks remained a mess and were still snow-covered, slippery, and impassable by Thursday afternoon.”

Macauley said several people were left with no choice but to avoid the sidewalks.

“Pedestrians were forced to walk on the road even though it had stopped snowing by Monday night,” Macauley said. “Only one or two people on the entire road felt obligated to clear the snow from the sidewalk in front of their homes.

“Even the bus stop was an uneven mess of snow and ice,” Macauley added.

The young mother said after a week had

passed she called the city bylaw officer to ask that he respectfully request that residents clear their sidewalks.

She was told that the city’s hands were tied because Campbell River’s city bylaw requests, not requires, that residents clear the sidewalks in front of their homes.

Macauley said the bylaw poses problems for the city.

“This is a safety issue for anyone using the sidewalks and it is unfair and unreasonable to expect pedestrians to just stay home until the snow melts,” Macauley said. “This is also a liability issue. I consulted a lawyer who advised that because the bylaw only

requests, not requires, citizens to remove snow from the sidewalks surrounding their residence that ultimately the city is responsible for any injuries resulting from a fall from an uncleared sidewalk.”

Ron Neufeld, the city’s general manager of operations, said the city does clear sidewalks but only in certain areas.

“The sidewalk work our forces do is primarily limited to sidewalks in front of city-owned properties or facilities,” said Neufeld who confirmed that the city does not require, but encourages, citizens to clear snow from sidewalks surrounding their home.

Fitness fee hike in motion KRISTEN DOUGLAS

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Council is moving forward with a proposal to raise the cost of work out fees at the Sportsplex.

At its March 4 meeting, council asked city staff to bring forward a bylaw that will increase the rates.

Coun. Ron Kerr said the city’s Community Services, Recreation and Culture Commission discussed the fitness rates and determined the rates should be re-evaluated. “ T h e c om m i s s i on found the suggested rate increases, and changes in general to the bylaw to be well researched, and reasonable, particularly given that the majority of fitness rates and fees contained in the bylaw have not changed substantially since 2010,” Kerr said. “The commission agrees with the suggested changes to the fitness rates and fees.”

A six-month youth and senior individual pass is expected to change from $155 to $157 while ninemonth individual passes will rise from $197 to $202.

A one-year individ-

ual pass for youth and seniors will go up from $229 to $235.

The city will also be eliminating family and group passes (of eight to 11 people) for the Sportsplex’s fitness/ weight room and the racquetball courts due to fledgling sales.

The changes are in response to Mayor Walter Jakeway’s call two years ago for rate increase options for city parks, recreation and culture programs.

While youth, seniors, and group rates will all be affected, individual adult rates will stay the same.

Some group passes for adults, however, will go up.

A six month pass group pass for 12 or more adults will increase from $154 to $178, a nine-month pass will go up from $204 to $229 and a one-year group pass for 12 or more adults will cost $267, up from $236.

Lynn Wark, the city’s recreation and culture

manager, said the changes proposed will bring the youth and senior rates more in line with other rates, increase revenues, and streamline business practices.

Other changes include capping the 12+ group size pass at 20 people to cut down on the amount of administrative work required to process the group at the front counter, as well as dropping the group pass discount from 20 per cent to 15 per cent.

Macauley asked council if it could consider either changing the bylaw to require that residents clear the sidewalks surrounding their property, or have the city take responsibility for clearing snow from all of its sidewalks.

Macauley noted that the city of Vancouver requires all residents to clear the full width of the sidewalk surrounding their property by 10 a.m. the morning after a snowfall seven days a week.

Coun. Ryan Mennie said while he could sympathize with Macauley, he wasn’t sure it was reasonable to require that residents clear the sidewalks.

“I’ve got two frontages to clear and as a younger citizen in the area I know some folks would probably have some issues clearing the snow,” Mennie said. “But I completely understand where you’re coming from. I’ve got small children and I walk my daughter to a school

that’s in the area and I found it quite difficult to do so.”

Coun. Andy Adams also understand Macauley’s plight and promised to look into the issue.

“Thankfully we don’t have this problem very often but when we do it is a problem,” Adams said. “I want to thank the delegation (Macauley) for bringing this anomaly forward and we’ll look into it and see about standardizing the bylaw.”

So I don’t spook anybody....

Sledders come through again for Easter Seals Paul Rudan CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

For the record, Wes Schopp was NOT the big winner at Snowarama.

True, Schopp did claim five door prizes – much to the chagrin of fellow snowmobilers – but the true winner was the BC Lions Society for Children with Disabilities.

Approximately 120 sledders headed up to Mt. Adrian last Sunday where the North Island Snowmobile Association hosted the annual fundraiser from their cozy cabin headquarters.

And this year more than $6,000 was raised by club members who have raised over $125,000 since their first ride in 1978. Over that time, snowmobile clubs across B.C. have raised in excess of $4 million to support children with disabilities.

“Compared to other clubs in B.C., we are a small club,” said Chris Steffens, president of the North Island club. “The success of this event shows we have a lot of heart though. We have friends, family and local businesses that come out to support our event each year and we appreciate it…and it’s all about the kids.”

The Lions Society use the funds to help support the Easter Seal Houses and Easter Seal Camps, frequently visited by local kids.

“In 2012, there was 467 bed nights spent at the Easter Seals Houses by Campbell River families,” said Donegal Wilson, spokesperson for the BC Snowmobile Federation. “If these families had been able to find a cheap hotel, say at $125 a night, it would have cost them collectively $58,375. Also, 17 kids from Campbell River attended camp in 2012.”

Robert Hrechuk has some fun on a Mt. Adrian sidehill.

After a great day of riding, John Rancier clutches his 50/50 and door prize tickets.

“You’re not trying if you don’t fall,” says Dave Donaldson (pictured left and above), a longtime sledder who stood up his Arctic Cat while heading up a steep run, but then couldn’t hang onto the landing.

Pictured right is another club member, Norm Potoski who rides in the picturesque alpine.

RCMP price puts squeeze on 911 corporation Kristen Douglas Campbell RiveR miRRoR

North Island 911 Corporation has renewed its agreement with the RCMP to provide emergency dispatch services but significant rate hikes have the corporation looking at other options.

The contract between the two parties expires on March 31 and a new

agreement needs to be in place so there is no gap in 911 service.

The agreement is good for five years, however, it includes a provision that allows the agreement to be terminated with 12 months written notice or sooner, if mutually agreed upon.

Jon Ambler, president of North Island 911, said the RCMP wants

to increase its staff from four full-time positions to six, effective this August, but 911 corporation convinced the Mounties to hold off.

“North Island 911 Corporation staff and board representatives communicated to the RCMP their concerns regarding the impact the increase will have on the taxpayers of participating

regional districts, and have requested a phased in approach,” Ambler said in a release. “RCMP has agreed to maintain the 2014 FTE (full time equivalents) and will implement the increase to six FTE’s effective Jan. 1, 2015. This has resulted in a cost savings to the corporation of $90,338.”

In the meantime, 911 corporation is considering a consultant’s report that outlines different emergency service delivery options for 911.

The report followed an announcement by the RCMP that it would

be increasing its emergency dispatch price from $460,000 per year in 2012 to somewhere in the mid seven-hundred thousands for 2014, Ambler said.

He told the Strathcona Regional District board in January that the corporation would be looking at alternatives in order to get the best deal.

“If someone says they could provide the service for half of what the RCMP is offering, we have to look at that,” Ambler said. “If we’re not getting the best deal for the taxpayer, than we’re

not doing our job.”

Currently, 9-1-1 operates the RCMP dispatch out of Courtenay and fire dispatch out of Campbell River. Ambulance dispatch is handled in Victoria.

The six options 911 is considering are: continue with the status quo; a single, stand-alone 911 call centre service; ask Campbell River to provide both 911 dispatch as well as fire dispatch; form a commercial relationship with ECCOM to provide 911 dispatch while Campbell River would continue to provide fire dispatch; use ECCOM for both 911 and fire service; or, dissolve the 911 corporation and each regional district creates their own service.

North Island 911 Cor-

poration is expected to share the final consultants report and recommendations regarding the options to regional districts in early April.

Meanwhile, North Island 911 has adopted a $2.3 million operating budget for 2014. A total of $68,467 is used to pay for the agreement with the RCMP to provide call answering for 911 calls as well as for operating and maintaining a fire dispatch and mapping system used for the dispatch of 49 fire departments North Island 911 corporation covers.

Coun. Larry Samson, liaison to the 911 board, said this year’s budget means 911 service will cost Campbell River taxpayers a little more than $1 per month.

Social media playing vital role in catching criminals

www.CampbellRiverMirror.com www.CampbellRiverMirror.com

KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Campbell River Crime Stoppers is helping catch criminals in ways like never before.

Pat Patterson, coordinator for Campbell River Crime Stoppers, told council Tuesday that last year was the organization’s most successful year and he largely attributed that to the use of social media.

“The biggest difference with Crime Stoppers in 2013 was the way we employed the use of social media to draw information from the public,” Patterson said.

“The amount of tips that have gone up through the use of social media is just phenomenal. It’s an ever-increasing amount of tips that we get all the time.”

Patterson said the benefit in using Crime Stoppers’ website, Facebook page, and Twitter is that information about

a crime can be put up instantly.

Anyone who has knowledge of a crime or potential crime can then anonymously report what they know to Campbell River Crime Stoppers without fear of reprisal. Information that leads to an arrest is eligible for a cash reward.

In 2013, Campbell River Crime Stoppers paid out $1,175 in rewards on five different tips.

Last year, the organization received 295 tips which resulted in 28 arrests made by RCMP and 44 cases were cleared from 43 charges laid.

More than $86,110 in illegal drugs were destroyed and $81,640 worth of property was recovered in Campbell River last year thanks to Crime Stoppers.

Patterson said last year brought an 84 per cent increase in the amount

of tips coming in since 2007.

Patterson said that’s thanks in part to the use of social media.

Campbell River Crime Stoppers had 372 contacts with tipsters through social media, and had more than 265,000 page views on its website.

“We had a 247 per cent increase in 2013 for visits to the Campbell River website,” Patterson told council during a slideshow presentation. “The Facebook account alone brought in 216 tips and look at the views on the Facebook account (there were 253,004). Just phenomenal numbers.”

For the first time, Campbell River Crime Stoppers also used Twitter which generated 429 tweets.

Patterson said the organization will continue to employ the use of social media, which often generates quick responses from people

who view the posts.

“From when I send it out on Facebook I’m getting calls on the tip line within nine minutes,” Patterson said. “The splash park (vandalism) incident, we had over 7,000 views on the Facebook account in a 24 hour period. These are huge numbers for getting the message out to the public.”

Patterson added that the organization’s success is in large part due to the fact the public has embraced the program.

“2013, ladies and gentlemen, was Campbell River Crime Stoppers’ most successful year in its 23 year history,” Patterson said. “On behalf of Crime Stoppers we’d like to thank the community for the work that’s been done. Without the help of the public, media and RCMP, the program would fail.

We are pleased to say that the program is very strong here in our com-

pays cash rewards up to $2,000. n Campbell River Crime Stoppers serves the entire Strathcona Regional District and Regional District of

munity.”

Ford forges ahead on all fronts

Ford has been on a roll here in Canada; finishing out 2013 as the top selling brand for the fourth consecutive year.

There are some very big products coming from Ford over the coming year that will make a big impact on its sales and image, and you will get a peek at some of them at the Vancouver International Auto Show.

The first is the biggest introduction of any automaker this year, the all-new 2015 Ford F-150 full-size pickup truck. The F-150 isn’t just the best selling truck in Canada for almost 50 years; it is the overall sales champ, selling more than any other nameplate. Period.

Ford isn’t merely introducing an updated model. No, they went to town, developing a entirely new manufacturing process that will revolutionize the full-size truck space.

The body of the next F-150 is built of an aluminum alloy material that Ford claims is 318kg lighter but stronger than the outgoing model. In addition, the frame is made of thinner, lighter and stronger high-tensile steel that combined with the body, produces the weight savings. This is an industry first, and a revolutionary approach to building trucks. In addition to a lighter body, the engineers have developed two new engines to compliment the existing 3.5L EcoBoost turbocharged V6 model and 5.0L normally aspirated V8 engine. The first is a new 3.5L V6 engine, replacing the outgoing 3.7L model base engine.

With a lighter truck, a smaller engine can do the work. A smaller 2.7L turbocharged EcoBoost V6 is also going to be

introduced with an auto start-stop function that switches off the engine when the truck is sitting still. Official fuel economy ratings have not been released but Ford executives tell me they hope to have best in class gasoline fuel economy.

Other enhancements to the F-150 include a new stepladder that integrates into the tailgate. Ford was the first to have this feature but it has been improved for 2015. The rear tailgate also has a soft-open feature that prevents the tailgate from slamming down, plus a light switch near the back of the truck to eliminate the bed with new LED lights.

The second vehicle that will have a big impact of Ford, but more of an image car, is the all-new 2015 Mustang.

Interestingly, about 25 percent of all Mustangs are sold here in British Columbia, so this is a big deal for us.

The 2015 Mustang is now going to be sold around the world and developed as part of the “One Ford” approach to making cars they can share in every market.

This means the Mustang will be sold, for the first time, with right hand drive for countries like the UK, Australia and Japan.

The stance of the new Mustang is lower, wider and more muscular, with the wheels pushed out to provide better stability. The fastback has a steeper rake and

a bigger trapezoidal grille has enhanced the shark nose design.

Initially the Mustang will be sold as a coupe and convertible with the base and GT trim, the higher performance models will come later.

Inside is another cleansheet design, featuring real aluminum switches and dials, with two large gauges behind the steering wheel.

The interior looks more upscale than any Mustang before.

Chevy rolls into town with shiny new wheels The model year 2014 is already in full swing for Chevrolet as it rolls its products into the Vancouver International Auto Show.

Many of the new and revamped products are already in dealerships so let’s take a look at what’s especially notable for this year.

Cruze Diesel The popular selling compact from Chevrolet, the Cruz, now comes in an even more efficient setup: the Cruze Diesel.

While the diesel model was launched last summer, it bears a 2014 designation.

Under its hood is a 2.0L turbo-diesel that packs in 151 horsepower and 264 lb.-ft torque. Yes, it

has that much torque and is most impressive.

According to the Chevrolet, it has a 0-96 km/h (60 mph) performance of 8.6 seconds, “which is better than the Volkswagen Jetta TDI automatic and competitive with German diesel cars that dominate the North American market.”

In addition to that, it receives an estimated fuel consumption of 4.2L/100km on the highway and 7.5L/100km in the city.

While the Cruze diesel had already been available in Europe, the proven engine needed to be adapted to North American emissions ratings.

It comes standard with a six-speed automatic transmission and 376.6L trunk space.

It has an MSRP of $24,945 plus $1,550 destination freight charge.

Impala Chevrolet’s flagship sedan is all new for the 2014 model year.

Released in 2013, this five-passenger vehicle can certainly hold its own in a segment whose competitors are getting stronger and stronger.

Among its redeeming new features, an all-new exterior design. I think it looks great. Having had the opportunity to take it for a test drive, Chevrolet has certainly listened to their customers and in the Impala; it has given

Confessions of a Curber My next vehicle came from a used car wholesaler*.

There was nothing wrong with it, but he couldn’t find a dealer who wanted it. I gladly took it off his hands.

How hip was I? I had a new source of newer vehicles that would come right to me.

“Two-year-old car for sale. No previous accident history reported, only 35,000km on it. Call with offer.”

Shortly after, I got a call from a young man.

His car had just broken down, and he needed a new one fast. He agreed to meet me at the local construction site where he worked.

He was just finishing up his lunch when I arrived. He was wearing his construction uniform and I immediately noticed his tired eyes.

I felt bad for the poor fellow, and I was glad that I was selling him a reliable vehicle. He didn’t need another headache on top of everything. I even knocked $500 off the price I wanted.

It was a smooth transaction. The guyy looke looked edd hhappy and thanked me immensely ely forr all the help. I beamed back at him.

Around 5:00 a.m. the next morning, I got a call. It was the construction ructioon worker, yelling so loudly that I could barely ely uunderstand him.

“THEY TOOK IT AWAY,” ” he said over and over again. “REPOSSESSED!” !”

I hung up on him and triedd to make sense of the situation. Why would the ld th he car be taken away in the middle of the he night? n Who’s “they”?

Liens. Of course. The car ha had ad a lien on it.

That’s why it wouldn’t sell ell on a lot. The bank must have seized it due to an unpaid balance.

As before, I panicked. I didn’t idnn’t want to get involved in this right now. w. SSure, I sold him the car, but how was I supposed seed to know it had

a lien on it? I realized the wholesaler* had scammed me! If that fellow had asked for a CarProof history report or even a provincial lien search, I’d be the one screaming.

Over the next several hours, I kept letting my phone go to voicemail – I couldn’t bear speaking to the young man. I knew I had to switch phones again.

I felt a bit ashamed. But I needed to be selfish about this. At this point, the best thing for me was cash. And lots of it.

3X8 WALT THE “They took it away,” CURBER he said over and over

*Wholesaler – Vehicle sellers may call themselves auto brokers or wholesalers to sound legitimate and cheaper. But if they’re selling to private buyers, they must be licensed as a dealer. Like any curber - an individual posing as a private seller but selling vehicles as a business – wholesalers and brokers offer none of the protection the law provides for purchases from a Vehicle Sales Authority licensed dealer. Walt learned that lesson, sson, but his buyer paid the price.

Its cabin/interior also received a major overhaul and the result is pleasing to the eyes and to the touch.

The Impala’s Ecotec 2.4L engine with eAssist provides electrical assist in certain conditions to help save fuel. It is rated at 182 horsepower.

Camaro Z/28 For those diehard track day fans who have been waiting for an even more performance inspired Camaro, the wait is over.

Almost.

Malibu The 2013 model year brought forth an all-new Malibu. That said, not much has changed for 2014, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t get a few enhancements.

PROCESS Output for the 3.6L V6 is rated at 305 horsepower and 264 lb.-ft. of torque (358 Nm). That is the highest horsepower output in the segment from a naturallyaspirated V6 engine.

The Ecotec 2.5L is part of a new family of four-cylinder engines developed with increased efficiency and greater refinement. It is rated at 196 horsepower

For example, there’s now a fuel-saving start-stop technology added to the standard model, rear knee room improved by 1.25 inches (31.7 mm) and chassis and suspension developments enhance drive experience.

That’s on top off the overhauled Malibu, on

For 2014, the Z/28 makes its debut.

All 2014 Camaro models feature a revised exterior design that integrates high-performance aerodynamics for more efficient cooling and stability at high speeds. However, the new Camaro Z/28 adds features like a full aerodynamics package that creates downforce at speed, which helps make it the most track-capable offering in Camaro’s history. Alongside its aerodynamic prowess,

under its hood is a mechanical wonder.

Its 7.0L, LS7 V8 handassembled engine was co-developed with Corvette Racing to make it as potent as possible.

Its monster engine produces an estimated 500 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque.

With those figures on paper, don’t expect amazing fuel results!

And just like it takes an experienced driver to put it through its paces, your bank account will most likely need to be seasoned, too! It has an MSRP of $77,400.

If you get to the show, all the GM brands, including Chevrolet, are wellrepresented. alexandra.straub@ drivewaybc.ca

The Year of the Mustang The Hagerty Classic Alley at the Vancouver International Auto Show perhaps should be called Mustang Alley, in what is the Chinese Year of the Horse.

There are two Mustangs on display, including this red 1966 Ford Mustang, along with a 1956 Chevrolet Nomad resto-mod and a 1966 Plymouth Satellite. The second Mustang is a 1965 Mustang convertible, restored to an as new condition and is steeped in Vancouver history.

A beautifully restored 1966 Mustang Hardtop will be auctioned off from the show’s Redline Stage on Saturday, March 29. That day 50 Mustangs, celebrating 50 years of the model, will be displayed on the Convention Centre Concourse.

Second ‘Blood Blitz’ in Campbell River aims to normalize HIV testing In an effort to make HIV testing as routine and accessible as possible, AIDS Vancouver Island (AVI) in Campbell River is partnering with Island Health and Positive Wellness North Island, to host the “2nd Blood Blitz” Testing day with HIV tests and sexually transmitted infection tests being made available to everyone.

The Blood Blitz Testing Day will take place on Monday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., as part of AVI and Island Health’s partnership program, at the Campbell River office of AVI (1371 Unit C, Cedar Street)

The event will feature point of care tests, which include the Rapid HIV test, with results available in less than 60 seconds, as well as pre- and posttest couseling.

“Offering the 60 second tests, greatly reduces

the anxiety people feel about waiting to get their results. We can offer the test and offer support all in one visit. We’re hoping people will visit us for the Blood Blitz and see how easy getting tested can be. For those
