Weather and tide conditions Kayaker unaccounted for hamper search for missing men The search continues for two missing crew memebers of a 67-foot vessel that sunk north of Campbell River. Their vessel, described as a 67-foot steel landing craft, privately owned, was on its way to Campbell River when it started taking on water around 2 a.m. Saturday. When it capsized, it was approximately half a mile due north from the docks at the former Elk Falls Mill in 75 metres of water. Searchers have located the sunken vessel and marked it. An ROV (remotely op erated

underwater vehicle) was deployed but had limited success due to high winds and currents and was only able to confirm the vessel location. The search efforts continued Monday but a dive to the vessel by the RCMP Underwater Recovery Team wasn’t possible due to unsafe weather and tide conditions. Another attempt was to be made yesterday, results of which were not available at press time. Early Saturday morning Campbell River RCMP were advised by

Joint Rescue Coordination Centre (JRCC) that a small vessel was taking on water approximately five kilometres north of Campbell River with three males were on board. Campbell River RCMP, RCMP vessel PV Higgit, the Cormorant Helicopter from CFB Comox, and three coast guard vessels responded at 2:48 a.m. this morning. An Alaskan ferry in the area answered the mayday and deployed a zodiac into the water. One male who had escaped as the vessel capsized was recovered. The

two other males were not located. Campbell River RCMP provided lights on the shoreline to help guide the two missing men in case they were attempting to swim to shore. A c ompre h e ns i ve search by sea, air and land, with the assistance of Campbell River Ground Search and Rescue has failed to turn up any signs of the two missing men. Transport Canada has been advised and the Campbell River RCMP has control of the investigation as a missing persons case.

The RCMP dive team may get involved in the search for a kayaker that went missing Thursday. “The RCMP underwater recovery team (dive team) are looking at possibly diving in the area this week, weather and tides permitting, as well as operational needs,” RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Poppy Hallam said The search for a 51-year-old Campbell River man began after his kayak was found abandoned Thursday afternoon on a small un-named island in Surge Narrows. The Coast Guard was dispatched to investigate the abandoned kayak Thursday around 4:30 p.m. Investigators quickly determined that the kayak likely belonged to a 51-year-old Campbell River man who had been reported missing earlier in the day to Campbell River RCMP, after he failed to show up to work.

Cpl. Hallam said the man was reported to have been recently suffering from depression. “Once officers arrived at the location of the kayak, they located multiple personal items belonging to the missing man,” Cpl Hallam said. “The island where the kayak was found is very small, and a thorough ground search uncovered no further signs of the man.” The initial search of the waters in Surge Narrows by air and sea concluded late in the evening on Thursday after it failed to produce any further signs of the missing man. The RCMP West Coast Marine Service, Quadra Island RCMP, and ground Search and Rescue technicians were engaged in a search of the area Friday. Based on all known information, the identity of the missing man will not be released, the RCMP said.

Mounties’ quick response Former fire chief saves suicidal female’s life runs for Area B seat A former Cortes Island fire chief is running for area director. Bruce Brown is making a bid for a spot at the Strathcona Regional District table, as the representative for Area B. Brown, who first moved to Cortes in 1992 and raised three children there, says his experience with the fire department has prepared him for local politics. “As fire chief, I was known for my commitment to providing equal opportunity, and for managing the budget with a consistent record of strong, fiscal responsibility,” says Brown who moved up through the ranks to become chief through hard work and dedication. He started his career as a volunteer in 1998 with the Cortes Island

Campbell River police officers dropped everything – including a suspicious death investigation – to save a suicidal female on Saturday.

The Campbell River Storm hockey club helped with landscaping around the Extreme Weather Shelter last year. The converted shipping container is back this year as the winter shelter for the city’s homeless.

Art van Holst said while BC Housing will provide funding to keep the shelter open on nights when the temperature dips below zero, or on particularly cold windy, rainy or snowy nights, funding is still needed to keep the shelter the rest of the time. Van Holst wants to have the winter shelter available for the community’s most vulnerable every single night from Nov. 1 to March 31, 2015. The shelter – a trailer on wheels – was donated to the city last year by Shadow Lines Transportation Group of Langley as a pilot project. The eight-room shelter, with heat and washroom facilities, was expected to be towed away this spring but van Holst said the owner did not have any other requests for the shelter so it was stored

in Campbell River. Van Holst said Radiant Life elected to use it again this winter following last year’s success. “Last year we averaged about 12 (users) a night,” van Holst said. “It’s not perfect, but it’s better than nothing and it’s better than a cardboard box.” RCMP reported a reduction in calls for service from typical problem areas after the winter shelter opened last season and there were no deaths among the homeless due to exposure. Van Holst hopes to continue that success this year. On top of providing the homeless with a place to sleep for the night, nearby Radiant Life Church will again be serving breakfast every morning and dinner in the evening. “Even if we don’t get

the funding to keep the shelter open every night, we will still have breakfast and dinner every night from Nov. 1 to March 31,” van Holst said. Donations have started coming in for the breakfast and dinner programs but the church is still looking for donations to help pay to heat the shelter. Van Holst said it takes between $25 to $30 to provide heat each night. Last year, a Nanaimo landscaping company working in Campbell River (Easy Living Landscaping) volunteered to provide the heating costs through the winter. Local groups also embraced the shelter, with Southgate Middle School students dropping off 120 gifts for shelter users and the Storm hockey club volunteering its time with landscaping.

Candidates: Recreation one of the biggest talking points Continued from Pg. 1

to meet the candidates and talk to them on an individual basis, as there was time dedicated both before and after the official panel for that purpose. One of the most divisive questions of the night was in regard to the planning of the Robron recreation complex, and how the candidates feel it should proceed, if, indeed, they feel it should proceed at all. There were three basic camps on this topic: those who are in full support of the project, those who feel it should be decided not by council but by the community (possibly by referendum), and those who feel it should be far down the priority list. Bob Bray was the only candidate who expressly used the word “referendum” while discussing the project, saying that the process has been mismanaged by the current council, but Charlie Cornfield also suggested that it be researched and then “put before the people and we ask them, ‘Here it is, do you want it?’ and if they say yes, it’s up to us to deliver.” Andrea Craddock and Jim Parnell both said

that it needs much more scrutiny before a decision can be made. David Christian, Colleen Evans and Peter Klobucar said it would be a low priority for them, qualifying that it would obviously be good to have more recreational amenities in the city, but they can’t take priority over other, more pressing infrastructure projects. Those firmly in favour of the complex were Michele Babchuk, Les Lengyel, Claire Moglove, Larry Samson and Ziggy Stewart. Moglove said extensive consultation has already been done with the community, and they’ve heard overwhelming support, while Stewart added the suggestion of partnering with corporate sponsors to make it happen with less burden on the taxpayer. Todd Jones thinks we could have had it already using surplus money that was instead wasted. Ron Kerr said we aren’t taking care of the recre-

Mayoral Candidates: The mayoral forum on Sunday night got through many more questions than the councillor meeting – what with there only being three candidates. After the candidates introduced themselves with five-minute opening statements, the seniors society had three questions prepared for each candidate to

Steve Wood said that it should have already happened, but that previous councils have dropped the ball on this, but he will make it a priority if elected. The second question from the seniors’ society was about making affordable seniors’ housing downtown, and what the candidates will do to provide that. Jakeway suggested renovating the Haida Inn and making it into affordable senior housing. Wood said “our local representatives have to step up to the plate and

The grilling of the candidates continues on Nov. 6 at the Tidemark Theatre at 6:30-10 p.m., in an all-candidates forum put on by the Campbell River Mirror in conjunction with the Young Professionals of Campbell River.

The forum will then be opened up to the floor for questions.

Adams proposed a zone within the downtown – between Dogwood Street and Ironwood Street – where there would be tax exemptions available to developers who build new affordable housing to encourage development rather than renovating an old hotel using tax money. The third question was regarding lightening the load on residential tax payers. Property taxes

“The mayor’s job is not necessarily to sit in his office at City Hall,” incumbent mayor Walter Jakeway said at Sunday’s all-candidates meeting at the Sportsplex. His response to the question from the floor, which also contained the phrase, “There’s not that much paperwork to do. You’re paid to socialize,” certainly raised some eyebrows around the gymnasium. The comment also raised the issue of whether it represented the controversial mayor’s attitude towards

his position. “It’s been alleged that in your leadership role at City Hall, you’ve spent than less than two hours per week there, and in the past four years there’s parts of the building you have yet to be into,” began the question from the floor addressed to the incumbent candidate for mayor. “What kind of time are you willing to commit to your voters to be hands on, and how will you use your leadership role to re-establish and maintain a healthy, functional, supportive elected team who will sustain us for the next four years?”

After leading with the statement about “sit(ting) in his office at City Hall,” the mayor went on to clarify, “I go to all sorts of functions around town,” he said, “I also go to meetings in Courtney,” and gave examples of various functions he attends in his capacity as Mayor. “I’ve been to all areas of City Hall, so I don’t know what they’re talking about there,” he said. “My job is not to be the boss,” he said. “The city manager is the boss of City Hall. He’s the one that interfaces with all the employees. If they’ve got grievances they talk

to him. If I start doing that, it’s just going to cause confusion. I’m very aware of my job. I know what I’m supposed to do. I’m not going to screw up the city manager by going around and visiting at coffee time with all the employees. That’s not my function. That will screw everything up. “I’m the chairman of the board of directors, I’m not the general manager.” Both other candidates suggested that they would spend much of their work weeks at City Hall, with Andy Adams suggesting he would reimplement an old policy

of former mayor and current council candidate Charlie Cornfield, to have “an open-door policy where there would be a certain amount of time each week where people could come in and talk to the mayor.” Steve Wood said, “I’m committing to a full-time commitment, as required, seven days a week,” in response to the question. Jakeway disputed how his accessibility is being portrayed, saying he’s “available anytime anyone wants to talk,” and that the job description is set up to be only a 60 per cent position, which he says he fulfills.

Candidates: Job creation ideas proposed From Pg. 7

have had to rise to make up for the departure of industrial tax revenues, and many say they can’t handle that any more. Wood said one of the first initiatives he’ll take, if elected, is the formation of an “environment, industry and job creation committee that

would immediately prioritize this issue,” adding that the “cheap shots being thrown about in the media by you, Walter (Jakeway),” create an atmosphere of distrust and doesn’t promote Campbell River as a place to invest in or encourage industry to come to town. Adams said, “I don’t

believe there’s going to be a large industrial tax base that comes back to Campbell River,” adding that we need to diversify our economic structure to succeed. He used examples like aerospace, aquaculture and technical industries as the possible future backbone industries of the community, as well as expanding North Island College, “so that it becomes a training facility for young people to come here to go to school, not (having our own kids) go away to go to school. That creates an industry in itself,” he said. Mayor Jakeway said there is almost no chance we’ll be getting another

large industrial entity showing up, adding that when industry shows up to look into investing, the last thing we should be doing is inundating them with tax talk, because it scares them off. He said we should look at cutting spending first, because if we do, “that’s like finding new money.” The topics of the audience questions from the floor ranged from wasting tax dollars on multiple consultations on the same issue, to addressing homelessness issues in our community, to the cost of the BC Hydro project and productive communication within the bureaucracy, and shed good light on the

candidates’ thoughts on many issues. n The next all candidates meetings are scheduled for Monday, Nov. 3 at the Eagles Hall in Campbellton at 7 p.m., put on by the Campbellton Neighbourhood Association, and Thursday, Nov. 6 at the Tidemark Theatre at 6:30 p.m., put on by the Campbell River Mirror in conjunction with the Young Professionals of Campbell River. Voting takes place on Nov. 15 with advance polling taking place on Nov. 5 and 12 at the Tyee Plaza from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. There is also a special voting opportunity at the hospital on Nov. 13 from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m.

Wow, how was your weekend?

Take a moment to thank your local police officers and emergency services workers, especially after a weekend they just had. Controversies involving police We say: Campbell happen here and around the country River is wellbut no-one can argue that in the vast majority of situations, our communities served by our are well-served by these hardworking local RCMP men and women. Their training, commitment and professionalism saves lives and that could not be exemplified better than by the work done in Campbell River this past weekend.

What a string of tragic events! A possible murder investigation, armed robbery, missing mariners and a lost kayaker. How was your weekend? At the centre of it all were your local RCMP officers assisting and/or assisted by ambulance paramedics, firefighters, and Coast Guard personnel. Kudos are warranted in particular for the fast response to a call of a suicidal woman. Even though the local RCMP detachment was focused on a death at a home on Alpine Road, they scrambled available resources to attend the call. Their action and knowledge led them to track a phone call down to the woods near the Elk Falls turnoff

on Highway 28, conduct a line search through the bushes and locate the victim in time to save her. The police and the family’s fast action in alerting them brought this story to a less than tragic end. The community’s thoughts are with this family as they go through this trying situation. We call can be thankful we live in a country that can dedicate the resources to such a professional and skilled police force. They’re given the tools and the training but it’s their dedication that makes it all work at such a high level. And you know these are not pleasant situations to be caught in the middle of.

Get the under-55 vote out The number of citizens who actually voted in the last municipal election in Campbell River was very low. I believe under 8,000 of the 24,000 eligible voters actually cast a ballot. This year, we have 24,648 eligible voters. With only three candidates running for mayor, it is possible that about 3,000 votes could win the election in that race if we do not get a larger percentage of our citizens to vote. Having recently moderated two all-candidates meetings at the Sportsplex for the Campbell River Seniors’ Centre Society on Oct. 17 and Oct. 19, I know there is plenty of interest in the candidates, but the demographic is very skewed in favour of the elder members of the Campbell River population. I would like to encourage all eligible voters, especially those who below age 55 to exercise your right to vote and help Campbell river become one of the leaders in our province to raise the percentage of citizens who fully participate in our democratic process. I fondly remember my first voting experience. I was 19 years old, still attending school and living at home. I walked to the polling station at Thompson School to vote in the federal election. John Diefenbaker was a politician from Saskatchewan who was running to become the Prime Minister of Canada. I had read about him and felt he would do a good job. I voted for the candidate from his party who was running in our riding. I left the school feeling my vote would help elect Mr. Diefenbaker and I felt I had done my part. I would encourage all of you, regardless of your age to express yourself on Nov. 15 and elect the candidates of your choice. Bruno Fornika

One last holdup on railways tracks

Tom Fletcher B.C. Views

“Hands up.” That famous command is attributed to Bill Miner, an American career criminal who is also credited with B.C.’s first train robbery, at Silverdale on the Mission border in 1910. A more genteel, and of course perfectly legal, trackside transfer of wealth is underway in the B.C. legislature. It’s called the Canadian Pacific Railway (Stone and Timber) Settlement Act, and it provides for taxpayers to hand over $19 million to CP Rail to settle a lawsuit over historic logging, rock and gravel rights given to B.C.’s pioneering railway builders. Students of B.C. history will know that while Bill Miner got the headlines, it was the early coal, lumber and railway barons who really made out like bandits.

And CP Rail inherited some of this by 1912 when it took over three early railways that had been granted vast tracts of provincial Crown land. Deputy Premier Rich Coleman revealed the settlement in the legislature this month. It seems that when CP Rail took over the B.C. Southern Railway Company, the Columbia and Kootenay Railway and Navigation Company and the Columbia and Western Railway Company, there were some clerical errors along the way. “I am pleased that Canadian Pacific Railway and the province have recently reached an agreement regarding the disputed ownership and value of timber and stone rights on 145,000 hectares of Crown land and 68,000 hectares of private land in the Kootenay and Okanagan

regions,” Coleman told the legislature. “The province granted land to three railway companies between 1892 and 1908 to subsidize railway construction. These railway companies reserved timber and stone rights for their own use when they sold the land to third parties in the early 1900s. These reservations were not recognized in many subsequent land transactions, and many of them were not registered in the current land title system.” These discrepancies came to light in the early 2000s. They involve some 1,600 properties, so you can imagine the lawyer fees that would be accumulated to sort through those in court. And Coleman’s statement suggests that the government has conceded its records are in

error, rather than those of the railways. Given the Wild West ways of B.C.’s early settlement and railway development, it’s not surprising there were some loose ends. A key figure of those days is James Dunsmuir, who inherited his family coal fortune and served as B.C. premier from 1900 to 1902. He ended up owning a large part of Vancouver Island in exchange for building the Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway, which he sold to the CPR in 1905, the same year he locked out miners in his coal operations for their push to organize a union. Dunsmuir is buried at Victoria’s Ross Bay Cemetery. As Halloween approaches, it’s easy to imagine a chuckle from his grave as the railway barons once again rake it in.

Employers celebrated for encouraging inclusiveness MIKE DAVIES CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

You probably hear about employee appreciation luncheons all the time, but it’s far more rare to hear about an employer appreciation one. That’s exactly what the Campbell River and District Association for Community Living (CRADACL), in cooperation with the North Island Employment Foundation Society (NIEFS) put on last Friday in the Quadra Room of the Coast Discovery Inn, however, where employers from the community gathered to be thanked for including within their organizations those with disabilities and other difficulties. “We all know that Campbell River is a beautiful and wonderful place to live,” Val Meany, Executive Director of NIEFS said in her opening address to those gathered. “It’s a a generous community, and, because of all of you, it is also an inclusive community. So today we want to say thank

you for making us that inclusive community. To those in the room who are business owners, we want to say thank you for embracing being inclusive in your business practices. “To those of you who are managers and supervisors, we want to say thank you for making your workplace a place where all staff are welcome and included and for being open to new ideas and new ways of doing things. “To those of you who are front-line staff, we want to say a huge thank you for welcoming and including and adapting to people’s needs in your workplace every day. “You’re the reason that Campbell River is held up in this province as a model for being an inclusive community, and for working with people with disabilities in unique and creative ways.” Executive Director of CRADACL Greg Hill also praised the relationship between CRADACL and NIEFS, as well as the businesses in town who incorporate people with disabilities into their

business. “This is about supporting and celebrating diversity. Campbell River has always been a model to the rest of the province, and probably federally,” he said.

“Inclusion is not conditional,” he said, “It is a right. It is a right within the sphere of basic human rights. This places the onus on all of us to see that this

right has not been transgressed. Well, you people have certainly not transgressed this right, you have progressed it. I can’t say enough to thank you for that.”

Here are a few to consider: • Budgets Review the sources of income and expenses for you and a new partner and update your family budget. Update as necessary. • Properties Update property ownerships. Speak to your legal advisors regarding ways to hold title to property in a way that beneﬁts your children and carries out your wishes. • Financial plans If you and a new partner

have separate ﬁnancial plans, update to a cohesive plan that will best help attain your new family’s objectives.

• Power of Attorney (POA) and Power of Attorney for Personal Care A POA is the designate for your ﬁnancial affairs should you become

neighbours was missed,” Kathleen Wilker, city planner, wrote in a report to council. “Since this legal requirement was missed, council must reconsider the request for variance.” The 10 day notification period is mandated by the Local Government Act which requires that for any variance permit, a notice must be sent out to all surrounding neighbours. Wilker said the notice serves to let neighbours know that

council will be considering the variance at an upcoming council meeting and they are invited to express their support or concerns in writing prior to the meeting. But b e caus e t hat requirement was missed, council had to reconsider the variance request at Tuesday night’s council meeting, after the Mirror went to press. As all members of council voted in favour of the variance, any one of those councillors was

able to bring forward a motion for reconsideration. While council was encouraged to debate the application once again, Wilker said city staff is still recommending council approve reducing the minimum setback from seven metres to 2.12 metres. “This application is requesting a variance of 4.88 metres to accommodate the existing house within the proposed subdivision,” Wilker wrote. “Although this variance is significant in size, given the irregular configuration of the new lot, the siting of the existing house, and current use of the yard area, (the property line) will function more like a side yard.” The applicant, in the statement of intent to the city, said the purpose of the variance is to consider the property line as a side yard rather than the backyard which will allow the existing house to conform to the current zoning bylaw setback requirement. The applicants, Daryl and Christine Boag, held a neighbourhood public meeting on Aug. 27 which five neighbours attended. According to the minutes of that meeting, none had any concerns or comments regarding the variance.

View pieces from the Gallery’s permanent collection, enjoy wine tasting with Quadra Island’s Southend Farms and Winery and see fascinating wearable art, as well as the heartwarming Herb and Dorothy film.

In 1992, the Vogels moved their entire collection to the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC. The vast majority of their collection was given as a gift to the institution. Many of the works they acquired appreciated so significantly over the years that their collection today is worth tens of millions of dollars. However, the Vogels never sold a single piece. The film Herb and Dorothy won numerous awards, including audience favourite, at several film festivals. Tickets to the film are $20 and are available at www.tidemarktheatre. com or at the Tidemark box office. Doors open at 6 p.m., the reception is at 6:30 p.m. and the film starts at 7:30 p.m.

Those attending Romane’s 2014 seminars will receive his written lifetime guarantee. The guarantee states that participants will quit smoking or they may call a toll free telephone support line. Romane

says most never need any support after the seminar. Participants also get 35 methods to erase tension and stress. “This is very important as difficulty coping with tension and stress is the number one reason smokers go back to smoking after quitting,” Romane says. Hypnosis, Romane says, works in the following way. “During and after

hypnosis, smokers can at last really believe and feel that they are non-smokers. Hypnosis can be used to convince someone that he is a permanent nonsmoker.” Hypnosis is now accepted as a scientific tool by the British, American and Canadian Medical Associations. Thousands of doctors, dentists, psychologists and hypnotherapists worldwide use hypnosis

to help their patients in hundreds of different applications.

Storm no longer undefeated after split with Panthers If the Campbell River Storm were starting to look like Supermen during their eleven game unbeaten streak, they found their kryptonite last weekend in the form of the Peninsula Panthers. Not only did the Panthers end the Storm’s winning ways with a 3-2 win Friday night in North Saanich, they also gave the locals all they could handle during Sunday’s rematch, a 4-1 Campbell River victory at Rod Brind’Amour Arena. “That wasn’t a 1-and13 team we played this weekend, not even close,” said Storm head coach Lee Stone, referring to Peninsula’s record, “That team is going to win a lot of games – it would not surprise me if they pushed their way up to the middle of the pack in their division. Will Harvey (the Panther’s goaltender) is back from an injury and played really well, that made a huge

difference for them.” The defensivelyminded Panthers, who made it all the way to the VIJHL league finals last season, trapped, clogged passing lanes, and blocked shots to neutralize the Storm’s high-octane offence. According to Stone, it’s a style his players should probably get used to. “Peninsula did what I expect a lot of teams are going to start doing against us,” he said. “In the big picture, as frustrating as it was, this may turn out to be an important weekend. It taught us a lot about ourselves and what we need to do every night when we show up at the rink. Other teams are going to try to do exactly the same thing – take away our time and space – and it’s up to us to fight through it and score playoff-style goals.” Campbell River tallied first in Friday night’s contest, a power-play marker by Michael

Olson. The Panthers then reeled off three straight before Storm n e w c o m e r Na t h a n Browne made it 3-2 with his first of the season in his debut with the team. “It was on the powerplay, I think Zack Sanderson passed it back and I got the one-timer off,” said the 20 year-old defenseman, acquired in a trade last week, “This is a great group of guys here – I’m really excited to be onboard and want to help out any way I can.” The Storm also scored first in Sunday’s rematch. Defenseman Trevor Bottomley crept in from the point and snapped a shot over Harvey’s shoulder at 10:01 of the opening period. However, Peninsula tied it less than two minutes later when Josh Poland picked up a rebound in the slot and fired it home. The score remained deadlocked until early in the third period when tireless Christian Brandt

notched the eventual game winner, banging in a loose puck for his ninth of the season. Campbell River then iced it with a pair of empty netters, the first by Gage Colpron, and the final one off the stick of affiliate-player Tyson Goebel. “That was really nice to see,” said Stone. “Tyson played with the midgets earlier and then came to our game, and I thought for a good chunk of the game he might have been one of our better forwards. You could see the reaction on our bench when he scored. He’s a very well-liked kid in our room, comes to practise every day and works his tail off. He deserved it.” The Storm outshot the Panthers 38-26 as rookie netminder Kyle Cheema picked up his third win between the pipes. “It was a tough one,” said Cheema, “I don’t think I got my first shot until eleven minutes into the game and that makes it difficult.

The Storm played without one of their leading scorers, Dane Feeney, who was serving a one game suspension and is also suffering from an upper

body injury. Coach Stone hopes to have the shifty forward back in time for their next game, Friday night at home against the Kerry Park Islanders.

The 10th most practiced sport in the world, ahead of both golf and baseball in participation levels globally, karate was again celebrated in our community last weekend, this time at the Campbell River Community Centre. “We had 104 people from all over come to participate,” said Roy Tippenhauer, sensei of the Shito Ryu Karate Club, who hosts the annual tournament, known as the Challenge Cup. “Everyone seemed to have a great time. I look around and see all the smiling faces … and I know it went well.” This year was the tenth annual Challenge Cup, and the move to the Community Centre from the various school gymnasiums around town that had hosted it in the past, was a natural one, according to Tippenhauer. “It’s a fabulous venue,” he said. “Because it’s a

community event, we’d been wanting a community venue for a while. If the tournament gets much bigger, we might have a hard time hosting it there, but for now it really works well for us.” The Shito Ryu Club had impressive results at their own tournament, as well. 47 of the 104 competitors came from the home dojo, and took home 50 awards, including 18 gold, 13 silver, and 12 bronze medals. 14 of their group who did not win awards nevertheless achieved personal bests. Despite having ten national champions from his dojo over its 30-year span and regularly feeding students into the provincial and national tournaments (they currently have four students on the provincial team), Tippenhauer said his biggest accomplishment is the confidence gained by those who study with him. “It’s the kids I’ve seen go from a shy child to an adolescent or adult with confidence and contrib-

enough on developing and learning to have the confidence needed to succeed in all parts of life,” he added. The club would particularly like to thank the Karate BC certified and trained officials who attended the tourna-

Fall Richly textured solid wood flooring Nothing can beat that good old classic for covering your floors: solid wood. Its attractive and distinctive finish provides a warm atmosphere and creates a pleasant living environment. Although this type of flooring can be made from hardwood (oak, maple, ash, birch, beech), softwood (pine and larch) is popular in old houses and is more affordable. You can also opt for exotic solid wood flooring, including jatoba, sapele, cabreuva, sucupira, tigerwood, walnut, or cherry. These woods are richly coloured and have distinctive textures and grains.

Laminate floors: a sensible choice Are you looking for flooring that offers durability and ease of maintenance? Would you like to give your home an attractive, natural finish that is affordable? Maybe you’re also tempted by the thought of installing it yourself. How about laminate floors? This eco-friendly material is durable, lightweight, and adapted to healthy living. It imitates natural solid flooring to perfection and is made primarily of recycled wood. This fire-resistant type of flooring is very popular at the moment. It stands up to wear and tear, heavy furniture, and stains, and it retains its luster over the years. It can also be installed on a floor with underfloor heating. Not only is laminate flooring ideal for a child’s room, it is also child’s play to install it! The first step is to spread a waterproof membrane on the floor’s surface

for soundproofing purposes. Then you click the sections together in a twisting motion in order to lock them together. No need for glue or nails! The authentic wood look is not always necessary in today’s homes. Classic laminate flooring has evolved and is now available in all sorts of new textures. These days, the trend is towards laminate tiles. Similar to the look of traditional flooring, bevelled laminate flooring brings a three-dimensional perspective to your floor, Laminate floors are affordable and attractive. visually enlarging the room. Flooring with a textile effect provides a touch of novelty, laminate floor according to the while a stone effect adds nobility type of wood you want to imitate, and innovation to a room. All you as well as colour, format, and surhave to do is choose the perfect face finish.

No matter what the style or size of your project, Milgard vinyl windows are an excellent choice. Solid wood ﬂooring is timeless.

Solid wood floors can be dyed to match your decor and coated with linseed or tung oil. Polyurethane gloss, satin, or matt varnish can also be used. This type of flooring is usually tongue and groove and is installed on a plywood floor that is level, clean, smooth, and structurally sound. Warning! Solid wood floors should never be installed over a radiant heating system, as there is a risk of damage. Solid wood flooring comes in a broad range of quality and characteristics. The more affordable lower grades have more knots, while the higher grades are almost knot-free. Light colours visually enlarge a room, while dark colours make open spaces feel cozier. Keep in mind, also, that while dark shades create a rich calming effect, dust and dirt are much more visible. Whatever sort you choose, any good quality flooring will withstand the test of time with grace and elegance if it is properly installed and well maintained.

Milgard provides windows that have built in energy efﬁciency made from high quality materials. If you want to save some signiﬁcant money on your heating and energy costs, take a look at some of the upcoming window replacement incentives that Milgard is offering through Home Hardware. It will be well worth the investment.

Doors and windows for style and comfort Changing doors and windows is one of a home owner’s biggest maintenance investments, apart from replacing a roof. Style, comfort, and price are the three determining factors when it comes to choosing new doors and windows. STYLE Firstly, let the overall style of your home guide you. If the house has a rustic look, you may want to opt for windows with small panes. If your house has stone siding and natural materials prevail, you’ll probably prefer wood. And lastly, if you have a modern home, you’ll probably want to focus on metallic or coloured ﬁnishes. The model of window has an impact on the look: • sliding window: two superimposed frames that slide from left to right or both ways • hung window: two superimposed frames that slide upwards • casement window: opens with a crank

• awning window: the frame pivots up and down COMFORT The insulation a window provides is a major factor where the overall comfort of your home is concerned. Consumers can choose double or triple glazing. With triple glazing, the third glass panel reduces heat loss even more and reduces condensation and noise. The air between the layers of glass is a good insulator, but sometimes gas (krypton or argon) is inserted between the panes to provide better insulation. However, this effect diminishes over time, as the gas eventually escapes. A low emission (low-E) coating can be added to the window. This coating comes in the form of a low-emissivity ﬁlm, which lets the sun’s rays in but prevents heat from escaping. You should also check the spacers that separate the two or three panes of glass. The

spacers surround the windows and make them waterproof. It is important to ensure that they have low conductivity, or, in other words, that they are non-metallic. These inserts help to reduce condensation at the bottom of the windows and prevent the glass from becoming excessively cold. Weatherstripping seals both doors and windows against rain and dust and minimizes air leaks in moving joints.

qualified carpenter. Also, many companies, whether manufacturers or retailers, install the doors and windows they sell. They tend to ensure the job is done well, as their reputation depends on it. Poorly installed doors and windows can cause heat loss, be difficult to open, cause water infiltration, and other additional expenses. Dealing with professionals is always well worth the extra cost.

PRICE Energy Star products are certiﬁed as the most energy efﬁcient. They may be a bit more expensive, but you’ll save at least 10 percent on your heating costs. Doors and windows must be installed level, plumb, and square. This work should be done carefully, ideally by a
