Three people were taken to Campbell River hospital Tuesday morning following a head-on collision. The accident occurred around 8:30 a.m. on South Island Highway near Barlow Road, just

south of Rona. Initial reports from Campbell River RCMP indicate that a new model red Chevrolet car was northbound, crossed the double solid centre line and collided with a white Subaru heading southbound. Police say a volunteer from the Willow Point Fire Hall was first on the scene.

Other firefighters from the downtown fire hall were also called in to extricate victims from the wreckage along with three B.C. Ambulances. The driver of the Subaru and two people from the Chevy were taken to hospital with what is believed to be non-life threatening injuries. The police investigation is continuing and so far no charges have been laid.

York Road residents are an alert after several break-ins to out-buildings in the past month. The thefts began in late February and have become so frequent that residents started posting their own warnings to neighbours on the area’s postal boxes: “Attention: York Road Area Residents. There has been a rash of break-ins in the past few weeks. The brazen culprits appear to concentrate on out-buildings and have used bolt cutters on chains and locks. It appears that they prefer stormy nights that can muffle their sounds. CALL 911.” On Monday, Campbell River RCMP confirmed there’s been a rash of break-ins in the York Road area including four or five that occurred on the night of March 17. According to Staff Sgt. Troy Beauregard, the culprit(s) are breaking into sheds, garages and vehicles, usually in the evenings to early mornings. He said police are stepping up patrols in the area along with Citizens on Patrol and have one report of a suspicious late-model white pickup truck. Some residents believe the thieves are using all-terrain vehicles and may be caching stolen goods in the woods off the various trails. However, Beauregard said those reports are unconfirmed.

Women wears her support for epilepsy in self-designed t-shirt

oday is Purple Day and a local woman has taken up the cause of epilepsy awareness by designing a T-shirt reflecting her First Nations heritage. The photo of the t-shirt won a BC Epilepsy Society Purple Day photo contest. Vanessa Shaughnessy of Campbell River calls the design on her T-shirt Kawakiutl Hummingbird – The Purple Ribbon. “This photo includes a beautiful handmade depiction of a bird

encapsulated within a purple ribbon,” said Elvira Balakshin, BC Epilepsy Society spokesperson. “Purple is an internationally-recognized colour associated with epilepsy awareness. The creativity and effort put into this is outstanding. This is why it was a winner in our Purple Day photo contest.” Purple Day is held annually on March 26 and it is a day dedicated to raising awareness about epilepsy. March is also epilepsy awareness month in Canada. Purple Day was

founded in 2008 by nine-year-old Cassidy Megan of Nova Scotia. Megan told her friends about her epilepsy after a presentation in her class given by an epilepsy organization. At first, Megan was afraid the other children would make fun of her, but then she came up with the idea of Purple Day, where people would wear purple to show support for those living with epilepsy. Purple Day reminds everyone that people living with epilepsy need understanding and acceptance. Epilepsy is far more common that most people realize. In Canada approximately 300,000 people have epilepsy and worldwide approximately 65 mil-

lion people have epilepsy. Despite its prevalence, epilepsy is often misunderstood and people with epilepsy can face social stigma and discrimination. Spreading the word about epilepsy and Purple Day will help dispel myths about the condition and remind people affected by seizures that they are not alone. “You probably have met someone with epilepsy – but don’t realize it,” said Balakshin. “Approximately 1-in-100 people will develop epilepsy at some point in their lifetime. “A lot of times people with epilepsy may have to tough it out – sometimes others may not be aware of the struggles “One call, and we’ll do it all”

they face. We need to make sure that as a community people with epilepsy and their families get the support they need to succeed.” Epilepsy is a medical condition that causes a person to have recurring seizures. These seizures are caused by excessive discharges of electrical impulses in the brain. There are more than 20 different types of seizures. Seizures can vary in frequency and severity. In some people with epilepsy, seizures happen only occasionally; for others, it may happen up to hundreds of times a day. Anyone can develop epilepsy at any age. In 70 per cent of cases there is no known cause.

Vanessa Shaughnessy’s photo of her Purple Day T-shirt won a B.C. Epilepsy Society photo contest.

Volunteers searchers were called in to mobilize the victim to allow for a helicopter evacuation. The woman was placed on a spine board and airlifted out. The initial plan was to transfer her to an ambulance near the dam, but due to the extent of her injuries she was flown directly to Campbell River hospital. “This was a case where the woman’s companions did everything right,” said search manager Grant Cromer in a news release. “They made a clear visible landing spot for the helicopter, they had provided immediate first aid and kept the woman warm with extra jackets and provided assistance to the SAR team in helping to move the woman to the helicopter. “Their assistance was invaluable to us.” SAR reminds the public that having a safety plan in place is essential for all outdoor activities.

Mom’s last surprise was her best Hospital foundation: Young family wins lottery grand prize Paul Rudan Campbell RiveR miRRoR

During her year-long battle with lung cancer, Sandra Ostwald was treated with care and dignity by nursing and medical staff at Campbell River hospital. With her family by her side Ostwald died in hospital on Feb. 17. She was just 57. Her brother Bill Burnett of Saskatoon was there too and decided to give back to the hospital, in a small way, to express the family’s gratitude for the great care his sister received. And so he bought three tickets for the Campbell River Hospital Foundation’s lottery and gave two to family members. “I literally felt that was a gift in itself – to support the hospital is so important,” says Nycky Vanjecek, Ostwald’s daughter. Little did Vanjecek know that she was holding the lucky ticket that was recently drawn for the grand prize of a $20,000 travel voucher to go anywhere in the world. “I was completely floored when I got the news,” she said last Thursday when she

is 34, and they’ve been married six years. Their only son Oliver will soon be five and next month Vanjecek expects to be back in Campbell River hospital for the birth of their second child. “We’re expecting a boy,” she says, patting her round tummy. “We’ve always had dreams of travelling, but we’ve

arrived at the foundation office to pick up the prize. “It feels like mom hand-picked it. “I can picture the joy on her face!” The money will be used for a family vacation for the young family. She’s 33, hubby Vince

NDP takes aim at Multi Material BC recycling ‘failure’ Recycling: System going to ‘end up in the dumpster’ Jeff Nagle Black Press

The NDP is accusing the provincial government of handing over control of B.C.’s blue box recycling system to Toronto-based multinational executives who will be unaccountable while B.C. businesses and households pay higher costs. Opposition small business critic Lana Popham raised the issue of Multi Material BC in the Legislature Monday, calling on the province to change course before the agency’s new system for recycling packaging and printed paper takes effect May 19. “If government doesn’t take a step back, B.C.’s recycling system is going to end up in a giant dumpster,” Popham said. “The control of recy-

palities have been pressured into signing contracts with inadequate compensation for their costs, the threat of penalties for contamination and a gag clause. MMBC’s new recycling fees on businesses will be passed along to consumers through higher prices, Popham said, calling it a “hidden tax” that won’t be transparent to consumers. Meanwhile, she says cities are unlikely to rebate property taxes that households already pay for recycling. “ The slogan for MMBC should probably be ‘Recycle once, but pay twice.’” In some cities where MMBC won’t provide services, such as Kamloops, residents will pay for nothing, Popham added. MMBC says it will take new types of containers and packaging not collected in B.C. before. But Popham noted glass will no longer be collected curbside in many cities and there’s little evidence the system will improve recycling

Elderly man accused of murder gets bail

Caroline Doreen Surrett, 71, was found dead in her home Feb. 25. Her common-law husband is charged with second-degree murder.

An octogenarian accused of killing his spouse is free on bail. Konstanty (Karol) Butkiewicz, 84, of Campbell River is currently free after posting $25,000 cash bail. As part of his bail conditions, he is bound by an 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew. He’s accused of killing his 71-year-old common-law wife Caroline Doreen Surrett. She was found dead Feb. 25, in the house they shared

rates overall. She said a smarter approach would have been to extend the beverage can depositrefund system to more containers, such as milk cartons and laundry detergent jugs. Liberal MLA Eric Foster (Vernon Monashee) responded in the Legislature, saying the province made changes to exempt most businesses

from MMBC fees and paperwork if they earn less than $1 million in revenue, generate less than one tonne per year of packaging, or operate as a single outlet. “We’ve got all kinds of validation on this — chambers of commerce, local government, opportunities for local government to either continue the way they’re doing it

or to have MMBC put their contractors in there to pick up,” said Foster, who serves on the government’s environment and land use committee. “MMBC came forward as an opportunity to change people’s way of doing business and to put the onus on the original producers of the waste product or the recyclable product to reduce.”

City sweetens the sewer deal offered to Area D Kristen Douglas

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The city has updated its southern boundary extension proposal in order to provide more properties with city sewer services all at once. Under the new proposal, Campbell River is committing to provide sewer service to all 535 properties south to McGimpsey Road (estimated population of 1,235) in both the phase one and phase two sewer

areas at the same time. Originally, the city proposed to deal with phase two properties at a later date due to not enough grant funding. The change was prompted by comments made by Area D residents at a February open house held at Ocean Grove Elementary and other feedback. “After hearing the feedback from the open house and reviewing the financing options, council recognized that a mar-

ginal increase in city debt would allow us to provide sewer service to the entire area,” said Coun. Andy Adams, who holds the financial portfolio. “The option presented will provide some certainty to the residents in the proposed boundary extension area that sewer services will be provided, and provides clarity for both the Strathcona Regional District and the city in moving forward with capital planning for infrastructure.”

The proposal, however, is contingent upon the Strathcona Regional District agreeing to transfer a grant worth $3.4 million and on senior governments agreeing to extend the grant beyond 2015 when it’s set to expire. If 51 per cent of the affected residents vote during an upcoming referendum in favour of joining the city each prop e r t y ow ne r is expected to pay $9,300 – either in one lump sum

or over the course of 20 years, likely starting in 2015. Residents would have up to five years to connect to the city’s sewer system and also pay the $1,800 connection fee. There would also be a third cost – to connect their home to the sewer line. Ron Neufeld, the city’s general manager of operations, said the cost would vary significantly from property to property.

HOme Improvement

“It depends where the septic field is,” Neufeld said. “If it’s in the back or front makes a difference in where they need to hook up to. How the house is landscaped, if there’s a concrete driveway in the way, or planters – it completely varies. “The best thing to do is call up a local contractor to give an estimate of what the cost would be to a particular property.” Neufeld said when North Campbell River and Quinsam areas

joined onto the city’s sewer system – in the 1990s – costs ranged from one extreme to the other. For some, the process was relatively simple and the property owners were able to do the work themselves. Meanwhile, city council has removed two large undeveloped parcels from its boundary extension area. The properties are located on the western limit of what has been called “sewer area one.”

Our View

Measles a public responsibility It didn’t take long for the furor to erupt after it was learned the source of the latest measles outbreak in Chilliwack was a local Christian private school. The school – and the church that supports it – has been in the We say: Avoiding spotlight before over its aversion immunization to vaccinations. Past outbreaks of measles, mumps and whooping cough invites back have all been tied to the community. illnesses And that association once again drew an immediate rebuke from people across the country. And rightly so. Religious freedom is a fundamental part of our

Canadian identity. But that freedom should not excuse parents from denying their children the simple tools that can protect them from life-threatening, or lifealtering diseases. More so, choosing not to vaccinate has implications that extend beyond one community. It leaves others – particularly children too young for vaccination – vulnerable to a disease they might otherwise escape. But while it was a particular religious community that has drawn the most fire over the outbreak, it cannot be overlooked that others are also guilty. Fraser Health estimates the percentage of the population in the Chilliwack area with adequate

immunization is around 70 per cent. That leaves a significant chunk of the population either choosing not to vaccinate, or failing to ensure their inoculations are up-to-date. There are no good reasons for either. Fears that vaccinations carry some harm have long been exposed for what they are: paranoia cloaked in junk science. The bigger concern is complacency. We’ve come to expect that the childhood diseases that were once so common have disappeared. What we forget is their absence is due to a stringent vaccination regime. By failing to maintain that regime we are welcoming back illnesses that we have fought long and hard to protect our families from.

Letters

Need for electoral reform John Duncan, MP; I agree with your political party in that there is a need for Canada’s electoral system to be reformed. Our Canadian democracy must have a voting process that is fair, is seen to be fair and allows every Canadian citizen of voting age to vote, regardless of their address, lack of address or possession of a specific piece of identification. It is the duty of our Chief Electoral Officer to ensure that every accommodation to enable each Canadian citizen to vote is made, regardless of the citizen’s social status, literacy skill, ethnicity, place of residence, or any other imagined qualification that can be made up. I see the need for Canada’s Chief Electoral Officer to be completely independent from the governing party and the opposition parties. He should answer to the Parliament as a whole, not to any political party or any governing coalition. His budget must established outside of the usual budgetary process to ensure he is not hobbled by partisan politics. He must have complete autonomy to investigate all reported irregularities and require witnesses to testify or be found guilty of contempt of court.

The B.C. NDP’s survival is on the line

Tom Fletcher B.C. Views

The B.C. NDP leadership contest is officially underway, with the entry of Vancouver Island veteran John Horgan in a reluctant reprise of his 2011 run against Port Coquitlam MLA Mike Farnworth. Unfortunately for them, weekend campaign events were overshadowed by revelations of flagrant abuse of taxpayers’ money by the executive and board of the Portland Hotel Society. A pair of audits finally released last week on this network of Downtown Eastside social agencies revealed systematic looting of the $28 million a year in taxpayers’ money that has kept this supposed charity running. Alas for the NDP, local MLA Jenny Kwan not only failed to keep an eye on it, her recently separated husband was

one of the executives who took part for years, and she benefited to the tune of $35,000 in luxury travel. That’s what we know about, since much of the evidence wasn’t produced for the auditors. When this Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous scheme finally came to light, Kwan hastily paid back the $35,000 and announced she’s taking an unpaid leave of absence. Her tearful claim that she believed nothing was wrong is simply not credible. She not only must have known of her husband Dan Small’s jetset ways, she participated in at least two trips, one to Vienna and Bristol, England to do “research” and attend a poverty conference from high-end hotels. If it wants to retain any shred of credibility as it spouts misleading poverty statistics and simplistic solutions, the

party must get rid of Kwan, who has two years left to max out her MLA pension. MLA pensions were a factor in the 2010 ouster of Carol James, who infuriated the old guard by trying to defuse a public backlash against a generous pay and benefits package worked out in private between the NDP and the B.C. Liberals. Kwan would later take a leading role in the caucus revolt that forced James out as leader. Long-time political watchers will see the PHS abuse as a bigger, uglier version of the Nanaimo Commonwealth Holdings Society scandal. There the siphoning off of bingo funds from charities cost Mike Harcourt his job as premier. In that case, NDP MLAs sat on the board, took their monthly cut and kept quiet. There’s more. Horgan became enraged

last year at the reporter who took a tip from the B.C. Liberals to reveal the NDP was skimming constituency office budgets to pay for its own “ethnic outreach” operation in Vancouver. Horgan had rubber-stamped the plan with a sincedismissed legislature accountant, and thought he had kept it secret after the Auditor-General blew the whistle. His willingness to assess its ethics remains in question to this day. Then there is Craig Keating, who took over as party president from Moe Sihota last year. Did he inherit the $72,000 salary negotiated by Sihota with the B.C. Federation of Labour and two of its largest unions? If so, do Horgan and Farnworth think this is appropriate? Will the party’s joined-at-the-hip

How not to get a tax refund 1. Keep more of each pay by reducing the amount of tax withheld Each pay period, your employer withholds a portion or your paycheque and sends it

to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) to cover your estimated year-end taxes. If that amount is excessive, you’ll eventually get a refund cheque – but it’s much more ﬁnancially advantageous to apply to have it reduced by submitting a T1213 form to CRA – that way, you’ll keep a few extra dollars each month that you can invest for you own beneﬁt.

2. Pay tax installments on time If you are on a quarterly personal income tax payment schedule, your installments are due on the 15th of March, June, September and December. Avoid penalties and interest by always making your payments on time.

on the amount of your RRSP contribution. If you make RRSP contributions through payroll deductions, you don’t need a Letter of Authority – just ask your employer to adjust your tax withholdings to reﬂect your RRSP contributions. How to get the most from your tax refund 1. Pay down high-cost credit card debt. 2. Make an extra mortgage payment. 3. Pay off your RRSP loan. 4. Maximize your RRSP and Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) contributions or topup contribution room from past years. 5. Add tax-advantaged Canadian equities to your non-registered portfolio.

Investors Group 3. Get an early RRSP deduction A common reason for a tax refund is a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) contribution deducted at tax time. But if you’ve made your contributions earlier in the year, you can apply to the CRA (using form T1213) for a Letter of Authority that allows you employer to reduce the withholding taxes on your regular paycheque based

Island Voices Chamber Choir gears up for its next performance – April 12 at the Maritime Heritage Centre.

Rhythm of life is a powerful beat “The rhythm of life is a powerful beat, puts a tingle in your fingers and a tingle in your feet.” These lyrics from the play Sweet Charity will set the mood for the upcoming concert by the acclaimed Island Voices Chamber Choir under the direction of Jo-Anne Preston. The concert’s will be presented in Campbell River on April 12, and in Comox on April 13. The choir will take you on a journey of choral music that will have you experiencing the wonders of nature – rivers, sun, birds and bugs – as well as the incredible diversity of emotions that life brings as we travel through birth, childhood, courtship, marriage, parenthood, old age and the challenges of life’s end. The

audience will be treated to a program of primarily a cappella compositions that range from a Renaissance madrigal, a lush arrangement by Gustav Holst of an English Folk song and a charming lullaby by Campbell River musician Jim Vining. Guest artist harpist and vocalist Roger Helfrick will also mesmerize the audience with his haunting melodies. The Campbell River audiences can take this journey on Saturday, April 12 at the Maritime Heritage Centre. The concert begins at 7 p.m. Tickets are $18 or $15 for students and seniors and include a reception following the concert. They can be purchased at the Campbell River Visitor Information Centre.

The Comox Valley concert will take place at 7 p.m., April 13 at Comox United Church. Tickets are $15 or $12 for students and seniors. They can be purchased at Blue Heron bookstore, or

Laughing Oyster bookstore. For more information about either concert call 250-285-3560 or 250871-6943, or visit the website www.islandvoiceschamberchoir.bc.ca

Motorists travelling downtown may experience traffic slowdowns once again on St. Ann’s and Alder streets. While St. Ann’s, Beech, Dubeau, and Alder are all still open to traffic, construction crews have been back working in the area and are expected to remain there through the week. That’s because some minor tweaks are being made to the St. Speak to an H&R Block Tax Professional today Ann’s block project as it Speak to an H&R Block Tax Professional today nears completion.

replaced because pedestrians stepped on the sidewalk while the concrete was still setting. Any panels that have footprints or issues with the surface finish are being re-done. The city says the project contractor is also repositioning paving stones at the St. Ann’s and Alder Street crosswalk as some of the stones shifted over time time and because of wet weather when sections of the granite blocks were first placed. Having the contractor reposition them will result in a smoother more level surface for

pedestrians, according to the city. All of the final touches to the project come at no extra cost to the city. This isn’t the first time that portions of the city’s $4.05 million downtown revitalization project have had to be adjusted. A few months ago crews had to shave down the corner at the bottom of St. Ann’s and Shoppers Row after complaints from the public that the corner stuck out. The jutting slab of concrete posed problems for city bus drivers who had to either turn into oncoming traffic on St. Ann’s to

make the right-hand turn off of Shoppers or move into the straight-through lane on Shoppers in order to make the turn. The downtown project involves upgrades to sewer, water, and storm drainage, new road surfaces, new trees lining Alder, St. Ann’s, and Beech streets, new sidewalks and public areas. The project is supposed to complement the new Seymour Pacific headquarters building currently under construction on the same block and make the downtown more walkable and pedestrian-friendly.

age assessed home at $296,115 is a decrease of $95.22 over the 2013 tax rate. Cortes Island Director Noba Anderson pointed out that it’s a significant amount of money that’s being refunded but said she was confident Leigh was doing the right thing. “I have some unease with having no public input,” Anderson said March 12 at the regional

district board meeting. “I trust there’s been consultation in your community that hasn’t come to the board. It’s just a lot of money (but) I trust your judgement.” Some directors were concerned with passing all three readings and adoption of the necessary bylaw all at once but Director Jim Abram (Quadra Island) said the topic has been discussed

previously and the board should be familiar with what’s going on. “This item has been back and forth for at least a year,” Abram said. Leigh said it had to be done at last week’s meeting because the refund will affect the tax numbers in the Strathcona Regional District’s financial plan, which is scheduled to be adopted at the March 27 meeting.

Richard Allan Krentz November 16, 1945 March 6, 2014 It is with great sadness that the family of Richard Krentz announces his sudden and unexpected passing. Richard leaves behind to mourn, his mother Grace, sisters Dorothy and Dawn, brother Ralph, ex-wives Audrey and Cheryl, daughter Richanne (Chuck), grandchildren Natasha and Tyson, as well as, several nieces and nephews. Richard grew up on Nelson Island, BC amongst a large, close family. In his early teens, his family moved to Saltery Bay. Richard developed his entrepreneurial spirit at this same age which began with commercial cartooning and sign making. He entered the logging industry at the age of 15 and had much success over the years. In the early 80s Richard reconnected with the artist in him and began a career in Aboriginal art and tourism. Richard was larger than life and a real character. He was a born leader, risk taker and had a passionate spirit that guided him throughout his life. If you had the opportunity to meet Richard, he was definitely someone who left a lasting impression. Richard will be most remembered for his fearlessness and "get it done" attitude towards life, as well as, his big heart and generosity.

Peewee Tyees are the best in all of B.C. When assembling an organized team in any sport, the goal, no matter how lofty it may be, is to win it all. The unfortunate reality is that the vast majority of teams fail to achieve their ultimate goal. The KLP Construction Peewee A Tyee team was assembled last summer with the goal of winning the Provincial Tier II Championship. An incredible amount of time and energy was devoted by everyone involved. “The plan from the start was to prepare ourselves to not only make the Provincial Tournament but to win it,” said head coach Pat Corrado. Well, the plan worked! With Campbell River arguably placed in the more competitive of the two pools, succeeding during round robin play to make the playoffs was a challenge in itself. The challenge became even grander when Burnaby Winter Club, the team arguably favoured to win it all, scored two unanswered goals in the third period of game one of round robin play to defeat Campbell River 4-3 despite surrendering

Back row (left to right): Assistant Coach Greg Fox, Team Manager Grant Parker, Head Coach Pat Corrado, Assistant Coach Peter Apostolakos, and Assistant Coach Craig Robertson. Middle row: Owen Parker, River Fahey, Jalen Price, Noah Fladager, Matthew Ubriaco, Josh McKenzie, Clinton Nelson, and Davis Frank. Front row: Goalie Sam Ellis, Grady Robertson, Coulsen McCartney, Evan Fox, Riley Billy, Bryce Narhi, Brendan Almer, Nolan Corrado, Goalie Antoine Minfray.

three shorthanded goals to Tyee captain Jalen Price. The loss to Burnaby meant the Tyees needed to win their second round-robin game against the Port Moody Panthers. Port Moody jumped out to a 4-1 lead and what looked to be an insur-

mountable hill to climb for the Tyees. Amazingly, the three-goal deficit motivated the Tyees to score eight of the last nine goals to bury the awestricken Panthers 9-5. Though a good Fort St. John Flyers team awaited Campbell River in the final round-robin game, the high octane Tyees

continued on their torrid pace, flattening the Flyers 10-4 to put the team in the playoffs. A four goal performance by Price and a hat-trick by Davis Frank helped propel the Tyees to a convincing 10-3 victory over the Williams Lake Timberwolves and a chance for redemp-

tion on the biggest stage against Burnaby Winter Club. Price opened the scoring on a slap shot from just inside the blue line to give the Tyees the allimportant first goal, but a single reply by Burnaby had the game knotted at one after the first. Brendan Almer assisted on a

Grady Robertson goal to give the Tyees their second lead of the game, but two quick replies at the mid-way point of the game put the Tyees down by one. A clearcut breakaway goal by River Fahey tied the game going into the second intermission and set the stage for a nail-biting

ending to a memorable game. Goals by Frank and Price early in the final frame put Campbell River in the lead to stay, and a late goal into an empty net by defenceman Bryce Narhi closed out the scoring on what would be an unforgettable season. “It truly was amazing to watch how we competed, led by our “C” Jalen Price, with the support and great play of all players who were asked to accept their supporting roles for the team – as they worked to win the Provincial Title,” said coach Corrado. “Our kids continued to work hard all year.” Ty e e g o a l t e n d e r Antoine Minfray was recognized for his outstanding play throughout the playoffs. The entire team thanks team manager Grant Parker, and assistant coaches Peter Apostolakos, Greg Fox and Craig Robertson for their commitment and dedication to the team, which made this year possible. The team also thanks KLP Construction for sponsoring the Tyees, and the community of Campbell River for its support.

Getting up and active with PAL Spring is the perfect time to turn over a new leaf and start getting active. Introducing regular physical activity into your life is an important first step towards better health, a happier mindset, and more. The whole family will benefit from increased activity and getting on the road to a healthier lifestyle. There are so many known benefits to physical activity and an active lifestyle. Among them are a reduced risk of heart disease, premature death and stroke. Being active has also been proven to help improve self-esteem and confidence, help you sleep better, increase your energy and reduce depression, among many other things. Furthermore, it helps maintain functional independence, mobility, and bone health. For many of us, it can be quite daunting to take that first step towards an active lifestyle. And it can be more challenging to start something new without any help. The good news is residents of BC have access to a free physical activity counselling service called the Physical Activity Line (PAL). Through a phone call or online, qualified exercise professionals are available to provide exercise and physical activity advice and help you develop a customized physical activity plan for every member of the family, from children to older adults. When it comes to physical activity, more is better. To achieve the health benefits, it is important to try and progress towards the Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines, which recommend at least 60 minutes of physical activity per day for children and youth and 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous intensity activity each week for adults. Adults and older adults should also add muscle- and bone-

Participaction 7x14

strengthening activities that work the major muscle groups at least twice a week to help with balance and prevent falls for those with mobility impairments. Physical activity doesn’t have to mean playing a sport or going to the gym. Playing a family game of tag, going for a swim or taking a walk outside with the family pet or to the store to get groceries count towards the physical activity recommendations. Try out something new; you may find your new favourite activity! In any case, you’re bound to have some fun and feel like a happier and healthier you. The Physical Activity Line is available Monday to Friday between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m in the Lower Mainland, toll-free at 1-877-725-1149. For more information, visit www.physicalactivityline.com or email info@physicalactivity.com.

Council bumps up rent-free hours for seniors KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

City council has granted the Seniors’ Society a slight increase in the amount of hours the group can use the Sportsplex rent-free. Council upped the time from 13.75 hours per week to 15 hours per week. Rent-free time at the Community Centre remains at nine hours per week. Council last summer waived rental fees and staff costs for the Seniors’ Society use of both spaces but now the seniors want for more hours. “The society has been requesting additional hours to host programs, special events and fundraisers,” said Lynn Wark, the city’s recreation and culture manager. “Staff are not clear if the intention of the resolution is that these additional requests are to be provided at no cost.” Wark said the problem is the city’s 2014 budget contains $75,000 for the seniors’ use of the facilities but that does not account for additional rent-free hour requests. Wark added that it’s a balancing act between accommodating the seniors and ensuring other users still have the opportunity to use both the Sportsplex and Community Centre. “In an effort to ensure that all interest groups are served, it is important to consider that any additional space requested by the Seniors’ Society should not displace current recreation programs, special events or rentals,” Wark said. Council in the end elected to grant the seniors free use of the Community Centre for nine hours per week and the Sportsplex for 15 hours each week. Council also stipulated that each request from the seniors for additional hours of use be brought to council by the Seniors’ Society for approval and necessary budget changes. Meanwhile, the seniors are still looking to open and operate their own seniors centre since being displaced from the Campbell River Common Mall last year. Since re-locating, membership in the

Seniors’ Society has dwindled from around 650 to approximately 250 members, largely

due to the location of Sportsplex which hosts the seniors’ lunch. The Sportsplex is out

BC Lobby 7x14 The BC Government is now off-loading our recycling decisions to Toronto.

PROCESS

Under its new regulations, the BC Government has set up an association led by big corporations to take over the local Blue Box recycling program throughout BC. If you look closely, you’ll see that of seven board members, six are executives of Toronto-based multi-national corporations, with the seventh weighing in from Montreal. How do you like that, British Columbia? This means, unlike the current program run locally by BC municipalities, this new program will be managed not by people whose first responsibility is our local environment, but rather, their Bay St. profits. That can’t be a good thing for BC. The most perplexing thing is that we currently have a Blue Box program that works, is efficient, and costs BC homeowners just

$35 a year on average. The new proposed system does not guarantee to keep our local environment as its first priority, nor does it guarantee that there won’t be job losses here in BC. It doesn’t guarantee service levels, or say anything about how big business will pass along the costs to you when you go to pick up a pizza or buy groceries. Yikes! Perhaps this is why several of BC’s municipalities refuse to sign onto the new program, calling it a “scam.” Given that, maybe it’s time you called Premier Clark to keep BC’s environmental decisions right here in BC where they belong.

What’s going on here?
