Base budget at 1.3 per cent tax increase
Budget: 10-year plan
Continued from Pg. 1
“I think this is an important budget as it’s the first budget the city has prepared that looks beyond the legislated five-year term and looks beyond that to a 10-year planning horizon,” Sargent said. “The budget presented provides stability for taxpayers – more certainty in terms of taxation. “It’s very long term.” Sargent said the challenge for city council is to create a budget that incorporates the services and provides for the quality of life that residents desire with the resources that are available. “A city budget is really about the story of what the community values and building the budget is all about building our community,” Sargent said. “Your staff have prepared a compelling story outline of how we can continue to build our community with parameters of how to address council’s strategic priorities. “I believe this budget session will be a turning point for the City of Campbell River in terms of a focus on a long-term strategic plan,” Sargent added. Council has been developing its new 10-year financial plan this week and is expected to continue deliberating on it today and possibly Thursday, pending how quickly council can complete the 2016 budget.
Kristen Douglas CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
City council approved a 1.3 per cent tax increase in its base budget Monday during day one of 2016 budget planning. The base budget contains funding for all City Hall departments as well the city’s contractual and inflationary obligations. The tax increase is not final, as service level change requests and the city’s capital project plan had yet to be deliberated before the Mirror went to press. Some councillors, though, were not happy with how things left off on Monday. Councillors Charlie Cornfield and Larry Samson both opposed the baseline budget which includes a $20 tax
increase in 2016 for the average household. Samson said he didn’t feel council tried hard enough. “I won’t be supporting the base budget,” Samson said Monday. “We tried to bring in a number of changes that would have had a zero per cent tax increase. On that basis, I won’t support the motion.” Council started the day – and financial plan deliberations – facing a 1.4 per cent increase to the base budget in order to satisfy the city’s operations budget and contract obligations. That got shaved down to 1.3 per cent after council eliminated $15,000 from the city’s legislative services department and reduced its risk management budget by an additional $15,000.

Money was put back into the operating budget later in the day, however, after council decided to move $3,700 for portable washrooms on Canada Day from council’s contingency reserve into the city’s parks and recreation budget. Samson and Cornfield tried to reduce the city’s economic development budget but the rest of council chose to hold on to the money in order to get the city through a transition of moving the function in-house. Mayor Andy Adams said he was satisfied with the numbers in the base budget as they are in line with inflation. “I am pleased to see the recommendation is sitting at 1.4 as the GDP nationally is sitting at around 1.5,” Adams said. “I would certainly look for con-

sideration that the parameter be more aligned with the national GDP.” The base budget approved by council contains no new or altered services other than those related to wage and benefits, contractual obligations, utilities, and changes imposed on the city through legislation. The base budget also contains no new staff positions. “I really appreciate that no new improvements have been included,” Adams said. Council was expected to debate its capital budget on Tuesday after the Mirror went to press, and service level change requests today, starting at 9 a.m. Budget planning is expected to wrap up either this afternoon or on Thursday, which is an optional budget day.

Police investigate fatal car crash
A man was killed in a two-vehicle crash Monday at approximately 5:22 p.m. at the intersection of Jubilee Parkway and the Inland Island Highway. Investigation to date has revealed that a male driving a 1989 Dodge pickup was travelling southbound on the Inland Island Highway and was turning eastbound on to Jubilee Parkway when he collided with a 2003 Chevrolet Cavalier heading northbound on the Inland Island Highway, according to RCMP spokesperson Sgt. Annie Linteau. The male driver of the Cavalier, a 24-year-old Campbell River resident, died as result of his injuries. The other driver attended the hospital and has since been released. The Campbell River RCMP and the Integrated Collision Analyst and Reconstructionist Service are continuing their investigation and asking anyone who may have witnessed this incident to contact the Campbell River RCMP at (250)286-6221.
High tide contributes to flooded streets Drivers had to wait for the tide to go out to get relief from downtown Campbell River’s flooded streets last Thursday. It’s the high tide that we see at this time of year that typically contributes to flooding in the downtown core, said Ron Neufeld, the city’s general manager of operations. High tide was at 11 a.m., which, along with strong winds and heavy rain made for the perfect storm. “It’s receding and my understanding is the water starts to recede as the tide goes

he 2015 Truck Light Parade, which ran along the Old Island Highway from Rockland Road to Spirit Square on Friday evening was another huge success, thanks to the efforts of all the participants, volunteers and the public, who turned out in droves to show their support. The first 300 children at Spirit Square that night received free glow sticks, Annie Handley and Dave Devindisch performed Christmas carols, children had their faces painted and their photos taken with jolly old Santa himself, and Mayor Andy Adams joined in the official Christmas tree lighting ceremony. The trucks from the parade were also on display in Tyee plaza. Businesses were open late for Starlight Shopping, offering discounts and welcoming the public to the downtown core. Check out a video of some of the trucks in the parade, featuring Feliz Navidad by Handley and Devindisch at campbellrivermirror. com

Campbell River couple face break and entry charges in Oceanside An investigation into a morning Break and Enter on Morello Road in Nanoose Bay has resulted in the Oceanside RCMP recommending charges against a Campbell River couple. On Nov. 4 at approximately 10:30 a.m., a homeowner was alerted by a co-worker who was driving by and saw a suspicious vehicle in her driveway. The homeowner immediately drove home
and found an unfamiliar vehicle with a female inside, parked in her driveway. When questioned, the female claimed that her male friend was in the backyard of the house completing a maintenance estimate. The man then emerged and stated that he was in the back yard doing an estimate for gutter cleaning. The property owner asked the man where
his tools were, or if he had a business card? He responded by getting into the car with his female friend and fleeing the area. The homeowner then discovered that the side door to her residence had been pried open, several rooms had been rummaged through and there were possessions missing. The Oceanside RCMP General Investigation Section narrowed the
suspects down and the victim in this case identified two individuals. Charges of Break and Entry have been recommended against 37-yearold Shane Hogue and 29-year-old Amanda Pawlak. Both reside in the Campbell River area. “This serves as a great example of neighbours looking out for one another and reporting suspicious behaviour,” says Oceanside RCMP Cpl. Jesse Foreman.
November sales activity up significantly from one year ago November sales activity in the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board (VIREB) area dipped slightly from October, but rose significantly from one year ago, with the board on target to reach its forecasted sales for 2015. Last month, 351 singlefamily homes sold on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) compared to 299 in November 2014, an increase of 17 per cent. Inventory levels are continuing their downward trend, with active listings showing a reduction of 17 per cent from one year ago. VIREB President Jason
Finlayson says that it appears as though dropping inventory levels are now causing the benchmark price to rise in the VIREB area. With prices firming up in the VIREB area and a smaller pool of potential homes for sale, conditions are suited for selling a home. “If you’ve been thinking of putting your house on the market but have been holding off, it’s an excellent time to move forward, “says Finlayson. “But to ensure the best chance of a sale, you should consider using a local REALTOR to help you price your home
appropriately.” In November 2015, the benchmark price for a single-family home in the VIREB coverage area was $338,500, up 6.77 per cent from one year ago. Benchmark pricing tracks the value of a typical home in the reported area. The average MLS price of a single-family home in November was $360,101, a six per cent increase from November 2014 and a slight decrease from last month. The November 2015 benchmark price of a single-family home in the Campbell River area was
$270,500, an increase of 2.79 per cent from last year. In the Comox Valley, the benchmark price was $339,200, up just under eight per cent from 2014. Duncan reported a benchmark price of $304,100, an increase of 6.29 per cent over the same month in 2014. Nanaimo’s benchmark price rose 4.27 per cent to $355,600 while the Parksville-Qualicum area saw its benchmark price rise by 5.65 per cent to $377,000. The price for a benchmark home in Port Alberni was $189,600, an increase of 6.13 per cent since November 2014.

Tourism AGM pursued Kristen Douglas CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Campbell River’s tourism arm has applied to host a provincial tourism event next spring despite some councillors insisting the city isn’t ready. Council, at its Nov. 23 meeting, learned Tourism Campbell River and Region is vying to host the Tourism Industry Association of B.C.’s Annual General Meeting and Summit in May, 2016. Tourism Campbell River was looking for a letter of support from council to add to its application. “We recognize the opportunity to profile Campbell River and region by hosting events such as this,” wrote Donna Hains, Tourism board chair, in a letter to council. “Meeting and event planning is a valuable way to connect with business leaders and government represen-
tatives throughout the province.” But Coun. Larry Samson said he believes 2016 is not the right time, with the city still dealing with the disbanding of Rivercorp and trying to figure out where tourism and economic development all fit in. “I have some concerns in that we’re in a state, I’ll say, of transition right now with our tourism and other parts of this industry and I’m just wondering, with us applying for the hotel tax, if this does pass, who’s going to be taking the lead on this,” Samson said. “I think that this is too soon. I’m just wondering if maybe we should be looking for 2017, instead of 2016.” Mayor Andy Adams said the Tourism arm, under the guidance of INfilm’s Joan Miller, did a successful job of hosting Tourism Vancouver Island’s Annual Confer-
ence and AGM in midSeptember and said he would expect more of the same with the provincial event. “I think they are more than capable of pulling this off if we are successful,” Adams said. “It does leave some doors open and I think the one thing that’s really important here is continuing to pursue accommodations during the shoulder season. That helps our tourism business.” Coun. Charlie Cornfield agreed with Samson, saying 2017 would be better. But to Coun. Ron Kerr that was a moot point. “The application has gone in, it’s not our choice whether or not it goes in, so I think it’s up to us to support it.” In the end, council agreed with Kerr and voted to send a letter of support to Tourism Campbell River for its application.

Tourists have good things to say about Campbell River Mike Davies
CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
The results are in from the first ever Campbell River Visitor Experience Survey, and there is good news – and more good news. Andrea Knowles, who is in charge of media and promotions with Tourism Campbell River and Region, says ballot boxes were placed at many businesses and tourism operators where tourists could submit their name and email address to be contacted about their time here and answer a survey.
Those surveys were then analyzed by local res e arch f ir m The Sociable Scientists and researchers from Vancouver Island University. Laurel Sliskovic, owner and strategic lead of The Sociable Scientists, says the survey was done concurrently with surveys in both the Vancouver Island North and Comox Valley regions, so they will soon have a regional report for comparison purposes, as well. Of the 927 ballots collected from the 18 ballot boxes around Campbell River, 462 respondents submitted surveys once
contacted. Of those 462, 86 respondents were local residents, so there were 376 usable surveys from which to compile data. The first bit of good news from the survey is that, based on what tourists said about their experience here this summer in their responses to the survey, we exceeded every one of their expectations. In every category, from “Value for money,” to “Shopping opportunities,” to “Friendliness of people,” and “Customer service,” visitors were asked to rank the impor-
tance of certain facets of travel, and how the community performed in said facet, and in every category, “performance” came out on top. In fact, visitors put “Quality of accommodation” at a 3.3 out of five in terms of importance, and we scored a perfect 5.0 in performance. So, other than being able to pat ourselves on the back, why did they do this survey? The data collected from this survey can serve many purposes, Sliskovic says. Because the data covers anything from how
far in advance visitors begin planning their trip to what they did while they were in the region, to whether Campbell River was their primary destination or just somewhere they went as a side-trip while visiting somewhere else, it can be used as an effective tool for anything from improving businesses’ marketing strategy to adjusting public policy at a political level to improve visitor experience. It also gives us the opportunity to look at the marketing efforts that have been made
as a region as a whole, Sliskovic says, as well as allowing for individual operators and businesses to see what the visitors who come here are saying about our community, and guide some of their marketing decisions accordingly. For example, 51 per cent of respondents said they used their smartphones for planning during their trip, which is a signal for local businesses and organizations that they should really be optimizing their presence online. “If your website is not mobile-ready, you may
want to look at the percentage of people who are using a smartphone for trip planning while they are here,” Sliskovic told the crowd assembled at the event Nov. 30 at the Maritime Heritage Centre. A surprise to many in the room was that 20 per cent of respondents said they did not use any type of electronic device to plan activities while they were here, instead relying on physical publications and information available to them within the community itself to find activities and events to attend.

What are the benefits?
We sometimes John Robilliard forget that gold is priced in US dollars. When you turn your gold into Canadian dollars you receive a 25% bonus due to the exchange rate. The end result is a gain over last year’s prices. This might be the perfect time to have a little extra cash for the holiday season. Don’t forget that August is always happy to give a free, no obligation quote on any items you have.
Can I advertise in other markets in BC with the Campbell River Mirror?
How does Monthly Giving Work? Very easily. Your donations are deducted straight from your credit card as a regular monthly charge.

EXPERTS’ Advice
‘Free’ is a scary word because, inevitably, there is still a cost attached. You can purchase life insurance policies that over time will accumulate cash values equal to the cost of the insurance, so they can be eventually ‘free’ to the Darlene Garat payer. Depending on how Financial Advisor heavily funded these insurance contracts are, and how the policy is structured, at a certain point you can withdraw these cash values – even to the point of taking the equivalent, or more, of your entire premiums paid – thus making the life insurance ‘free’. Some insurance contracts will allow this, and still have the initial death benefit remain in place. These policies are more expensive than term insurance, but have far more options and can remain in force for life. But don’t be fooled by ad hype, all life insurance requires funding up front.

New hospital’s helipad deficient, council learns
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER DECEMBER 9, 9,2015 2015 | | CAMPBELL CAMPBELLRIVER RIVERMIRROR MIRROR | | 11 11 WEDNESDAY,

Kristen Douglas CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
City council is refusing to accept that the new hospital’s helipad may not be able to accept single engine helicopters. Coun. Larry Samson said he wants the city to investigate what can be done to ensure the helipad is in compliance. He said with Campbell River being a regional forestry centre, it’s vital that all aircraft that serve that industry be able to land at the hospital in the event of a medical emergency.
“Single engine helicopters play a large part in our coastal areas, we’re also the regional centre for all the outlying islands which makes it even more important at our hospital that we have the ability to accept single engine helicopters,” Samson said. “It was said that helicopters can land where they want to land but if they’re not approved, what onus are we putting on these pilots flying these aircrafts, these helicopters?” Val Wilson, spokesperson for Island Health,
said Transport Canada safety standards do not allow single-engine helicopters to land at rooftop hospital heliports – which is where the heliport will be located at the new Campbell River Hospital. “Hospital heliports are classified as ‘obstacle’ landing sites because of their proximity to trees, buildings, residential areas and other potential helicopter flightpath obstacles,” Wilson said. “This means that they require more than one engine to handle flight emergency situations,
such as an engine failure.” Wilson said BC Air Ambulance helicopters meet that classification and both the Campbell River and Comox Valley hospitals are “expected to receive certification from Transport Canada once the new hospitals are complete.” Still, Coun. Charlie Cornfield said council needs to step up and ensure that happens. “I think we need some expertise to come back and say ‘here is what we can do’. It’s the old, ‘we won’t give them approval
until the project is built,’” Cornfield said. Samson said the city’s airport manager is already planning a trip to Ottawa in February and suggested he could speak to the federal transportation minister. With the exception of Mayor Andy Adams, the rest of council agreed, and voted in favour of having the Airport Authority investigate and report back to council, as well as spending up to $5,000 from council contingency to determine Transport Canada’s requirements for single
engine helicopters. Adams was opposed because he said he would rather see money allocated once council knows how much is actually required to get the job done. “I really appreciate the intent of the motion (but) we have never done a motion, unless it’s for consulting fees, to allocate funds for a staff report which is essentially what this is,” Adams said. “I have no problem in some of the things Councillor Samson said in that if the Airport Authority iden-
tifies some expenses, then come back through a staff report to council but to just put an amount out there that we don’t know or know what for, I think is irresponsible.” The new hospital, and helipad, is currently under construction next to the existing hospital and is expected to be completed by late 2017. The 95-bed Campbell River Hospital is costing Island Health $274.5 million and is being built in tandem with a new 153-bed hospital in the Comox Valley, valued at $331.7 million.

Take care of a cold sore by: • Keep the cold core clean by gently washing with mild soap and water. • Putting an ointment on the cold sore should help from cracking.
Using credit to buy RRSPs can be a dangerous strategy if not managed correctly. However, Darlene & Peter Garat using a personal Line of Credit (LOC) with a low interest rate, can be advantageous if it allows you to maximize your tax refund – and that refund goes straight to your LOC to pay down the amount borrowed. The LOC amount is now in retirement savings, and, if calculated properly, any balance on the LOC will be quickly paid off. This is not a viable option for buying stocks based on a “hot tip”, or your brother-inlaw’s recommendations. It can work if invested in a well diversified, well managed RRSP portfolio that will increase in value over time, and has minimal risk. This is a strategy that is not for everyone. Contact us to see if it is the right option for you.

Our View
It’s a chance to do good To begin, the Syrian refugee crisis is not new. In a country ravaged by civil war for nearly five years, the human toll has had plenty of time to mount. It’s estimated more than 250,000 people are dead so far – the majority civilians. Another 11 million – roughly a third the population of Canada – have been forced from their homes. Of those, four million have fled the country in a pitiful exodus not seen since the Second World War. That Canadians are just waking up to this crisis does not change the history. It does not change the fact that children born into this tragedy will soon celebrate their fifth birthday having never known peace and security. Canada has a chance to change that, at least for some. The effort to accommodate a small percentage of refugees is gathering momentum. Locally – and across Canada – individuals and organizations are planning for their arrival. They’re gathering funds, finding accommodations and marshaling services. They are demonstrating the same compassion that led to our earlier acceptance of those fleeing unrest and persecution. Canada has agreed to take in 25,000 refugees. Yes, accommodating them will bring challenges. But turning them away puts us in uncomfortable company. -Black Press

Most – almost all – of these people didn’t want this to happen to their country, home, city or school. They were just trying to live their lives. The war – just like WW1 or WW2 – came to them. I was a combatant who either flew air cover missions to protect these agencies or the areas that had been declared under UN protection or was on the ground directing the same air missions. We ran air cover to protect the convoys of trucks bringing in water, food, medical supplies and staff to areas that had been decimated in whatever war took place there. Most of the time the threat and visible protection of the military was enough; others times it wasn’t. I don’t want to get too graphic but it isn’t pretty. We found kids camping out all by themselves as orphans, elderly people wandering around with dementia, no meds and many women with small children unable to help themselves or their kids. I had little knowledge of these agencies until I worked with them. They are staffed by people – often women – from all over the world who wanted “to do something” to help and are contracted by the UN and go to the areas in question. We met accountants, logistics managers, doctors, dentists,

I worked with the UNHCR in the former Yugoslavia in the mid 1990s. They do excellent work, are smart and very aware of possible threats to the refugees, the camps and are very watchful of possible combatants entering the “system.” Whether you agree with armed force, peacemaking or peace keeping in whatever conflict, the fact remains that many innocent and vulnerable people including children, hospital patients, the old are often directly in the path of these conflicts. Often the people who are “helping their own” are former university students, hospital workers, municipal employees that are now unable to work or help their own countries population as the hospitals, schools, municipal or other governments, universities, etc. are bombed, blown up or no longer functioning. All civil systems stop – grocery stores, water, electric, medical, dental, pharmacies, etc. There is no police force, firemen or utilities. No hardware stores or materials or equipment needed to fix essential systems. There is no fuel, fuel oil or electricity to heat homes. These UN agencies and other non-UN agencies like “doctors without borders” etc. go into these areas and try and help these people and stabilize the region.

vasive – Canada can prop up all cultural expression through the simple business of telling Canadians about it. It’s unlikely that government will get a return on its investment in the CBC, nor should it, although many of the free enterprise persuasion feel it should pay for itself. It would be useful if it did or came close to it but it doesn’t have to. I think we should skim off some of the profits of cable companies and other carriers and divert them into the public broadcasters. Cable companies don’t produce much in the way of content, they just charge others to carry their products. Although there’s a lot of cross-ownership between cable carriers and private media companies these days. In Britain, the viewing public pays a yearly licence fee and that money goes into the BBC. The result is spectacular public programming. We could use a similar model and the Liberals may get us there.

Not impress
Need better
I’m not impressed with the changes happening to the school year. I am totally for teachers getting more training where needed, but why cut into the academic school year when there’s a good two months of no school for them? Is there some reason they can’t use three days of that time for training instead of inconveniencing thousands of families needing alternate daycare during the school year? I can’t be the only one who asks this question. Tara McPherson Campbell River
Re: Inconvenient truths of climate change I pretty much accept that the pressures of human activity and industrialization are driving climate change at an accelerating rate and find little comfort after reading Mr. Fletcher’s snide comments.

Traffic was rerouted in all directions at the intersection of Dogwood and 7th while crews worked on the fire and cleanup, and Doherty said many cars on Dogwood Street were seen driving over the crews’ water lines before the street was eventually blocked off. “It’s extremely dangerous for the firefighters going inside the building,” Doherty said. “That could cut off their water supply.

truck drivers – many exmilitary from all over the world – and engineering staffs to help re-establish utilities – water, electric, etc. You also meet exmilitary combat engineers whose job is to demine a road or area from all the UXBs and mines left from the combatants. These are some of the bravest people I ever met. I very much came to respect these agencies and what they do for the helpless of the world. Unfortunately, all you ever see on the news are the combat missions and the most radical of the area’s combatants – especially with ISIS/ISIL combat is required. Little is said or covered by the other 99.9 per cent of what happens when an area descends into armed conflict. Little is also said of all the countries who are there helping. Usually there are dozens not just Canada, the US or the UK. Almost nothing is said of what all these military organizations do in these places when they are not pulling a
trigger – they rebuild the bridges, the utilities, re open hospitals, telephone exchanges etc. You never hear of what Holland, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Poland, Ukraine, Czech Republic, Austria, Pakistan, India, Malaysia, South Africa, etc., etc. are doing in all these broken countries. I watched a private German construction firm rebuild an entire town in Yugoslavia without the help of their government or UN funding. They asked the Canadian combat engineers to teach them how to find and disarm the mines, then did it. We often found the original engineers of a utility system still there in that town trying to get the electrical grid running or water flowing. They can’t as they have no materials and the heavy equipment is disabled or gone but they are still there and know the systems. The UN and military forces help them with those materials and equipment. Not meant to be a lec-
ture or to offend but as perhaps additional perspective as the world tries to figure out what to do with places like Libya, Syria, Nigeria, Yugoslavia – the list goes on. I heard a quote today – “It’s time for humanity to overrule fear.” Very true in my book. Kelly Kovach Campbell River

Economic development officer eyed Kristen Douglas CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
The city is planning to recruit a new economic development officer in 2016 despite the elimination of Rivercorp earlier this year. Economic development will be brought under the umbrella of City Hall, but council Monday revealed plans to hire someone to head the service. “We are close to doing recruitment for our economic development officer, it won’t be that long into 2016,” said Mayor Andy Adams during the first day of budget planning meetings Monday at City Hall. He added that the city will also be looking at restructuring how the city delivers tourism services. The announcement came after Coun. Larry Samson took a shot at the city’s $576,180 economic development budget. “I think there’s an opportunity to use this (money) to offset the tax increase,” Samson said. “We can always bring it back for next year if we need to increase funding but for this year I don’t think they need the full $576,000.” Samson attempted to reduce the budget by $150,000 but Adams said with the transition of bringing economic development in house
on the horizon, that the budget should remain intact. “I would caution against reduction at this point,” Adams said. “I would rather see money in there.” City Manager Deborah Sargent agreed. “I think it’s premature to take the money out of the budget because there are extraordinary one-time expenses as we manage this transition. Those are the costs of recruitment and the costs of moving forward with a new model, particularly on the tourism side,” Sargent said. “So at this point we wanted to have the full funding model available to allow for smoother transition and to allow the new economic development officer to be up and running.” Coun. Charlie Cornfield suggested council adjust Samson’s proposed reduction so that the budget didn’t take as big a hit. After Samson withdrew his motion, Cornfield put forward a new one to reduce the economic development budget by $76,180. But that didn’t fly either. “This is a base budget we’re working on. I think just throwing a number out of the blue, it doesn’t make sense in the longterm,” Kerr said. “I can’t
Correction: In a story published Nov. 27, the Mirror incorrectly stated that executive director of the Campbell River Arts Council Ken Blackburn sits on the
support pulling money out now to put it back in the future.” Samson argued that cutting out some of the funding would be sending a positive message to the public. “It’s been an election issue – people wanted to see change and get value for their dollar,” Samson said. “I think by reducing it, it does show the citizens that we are listening and it does show we’re trying to keep the tax increase down.” Coun. Colleen Evans said she didn’t hear it quite the same way. “I agree with Coun. Samson this was a significant election issue but I think what I heard loud and clear is the citizens want a return on their investment,” Evans said. “They want to see accountable economic development moving Campbell River forward in terms of prosperity.” In the end, the motion to reduce the economic development budget was defeated, leaving the full $576,180 in the economic development budget for 2016. Ron Bowles, the city’s general manager of corporate services, said, however, that the city can expect to get back some of the money it paid into Rivercorp for 2015 but that he couldn’t estimate just how much.

‘Tis the season for holiday favourite The Nutcracker
U
rban Dance Connection has teamed up with Stage West School of Performing arts to bring the holiday classic The Nutcracker to Campbell River this holiday Season. Dancers ages 5 and up from UDC in Campbell River and Stage West in Port Alberni have been brought together by studio Directors Jen Soo Bodnar and Juli Martell to bring The Nutcracker to both communities for the Holiday Season. Guest director and Choreographer, Geraldine Potter has been working with both studios since August to put this show together. In addition to working with Potter, whose experience includes professional tours in Europe and time with the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, the
dancers have also had the pleasure of working with Dustin Carnie on this show. Carnie is originally a UDC dancer, and has recently returned from training with the Goh Ballet for several years. Carnie will be performing in the show as the Nutcracker Prince and in the Russian Dance. The role of the Sugar Plum Fairy will be performed by Kei Hirozane. Hirozane is a professional dancer and graduate of Ballet Victoria. Getting to dance alongside professionals has been an inspiration for all of the dancers involved. The dancers will also be performing on stage with the Campbell River Children’s Choir. Musical Director, Jennifer Abbott, and the Choir will add much
holiday spirit to the show. Bodnar and Martell are both thrilled with what this project has brought to their studios. They and their dancers usually only meet up at competitions, so to be working on a project like this together has been a fantastic experience for both the dancers and the instructors. They hope to make this a holiday tradition in both Port Alberni and Campbell River for many years to come. The Urban West team performed their Nutcracker in Port Alberni on Nov. 28 and they are now so excited to bring it to the Tidemark Theatre on Dec. 12. There is a 2 p.m. and a 7 p.m. performance. Tickets are available at the Tidemark Theatre box office.

It’s no wonder they get booked for shows like Canada Day at the Legislature and fill rooms in venues from here to nobody in the theatre wanting Roper to stop, they were surely not disappointed by the performance that followed. The Victoria band – the night before beginning a tour that consists of eight shows in nine days stretching from Whistler to Winnipeg and back to Edmonton

In Memory of a beautiful Daughter and Sister
Caitlyn Andersen Dec. 19, 1992 - Dec. 8th, 2008 I’m sending a dove to heaven, With a parcel on its wings, Be careful when you open it, It’s full of beautiful things. Inside are a million kisses, Wrapped up in a million hugs, To say how much we miss you, And to send you all our love. We hold you close within our hearts, And there you will remain, To walk with us throughout our lives, Until we meet again.
We love you and miss you so much Love Mom, Tim, Dexter and Cassidy.

My Angel When my angel goes to Heaven, will she come back for vacation? Will she be there when I grow up? Will she be there on occasion? Do angels attend birthday parties, or holidays like Christmas? Will she visit me on New Years, and make up for what she misses? Will she be there when I fall in love, Can she hear me, can she see? Will she hold me when he breaks my heart? Lord, please tell me she’ll be. Do angels attend ceremonies, Can I reserve her a seat? When I walk up on the stage, and accept my graduation degree? Willshe shebe beamongst amongstthe thebridesmaids, bridesmaids,as asI’m I’mwalking walkingdown downthe the aisle? isle? Will Can she shake my husband’s hand, Lord, can she stay a little while? Will she be there to hear first words, And to kiss little feet? Will she be there to see first steps, “Aunty� sounds so sweet. I know that I can’t see her, but I know that she’ll be there. My sister always loved me, Even if I wasn’t always fair. I’ll see her when I fall asleep, At 99 years old. And she’ll spread her wings, and pick me up, And we’ll fly away back home.

Many working on hospitals projects come from NIC The North Island Hospitals Project (NIHP) is sparking demand for the skilled trades on Vancouver Island and providing North Island College (NIC) students with new trades and technology careers, according to a recent release from NIC. Regina Gray, for example, is currently working at the NIHP site after graduating from the lather program earlier this fall. With two hospitals under construction in Campbell River and the Comox Valley, the demand for local, skilled tradespeople is increasing. North Island Hospitals Project Communications Officer Dan MacLennan says 594 people, including 410 tradespeople from Campbell River, Comox, Cumberland or Courtenay were employed on the project in October. This included 122 apprentices working in plumbing/ mechanical, carpentry, electrical, roofing or wall and ceiling trades. As the need for trained w or k e r s i n c re a s e s , NIC’s Dean of Trades and Technical Programs, Cheryl O’ Connell, points to Industry Training Authority (ITA) Apprenticeship Advisor, Doug Podetz as a key resource in ensuring NIC programs align with regional training requirements. Podetz works closely with the hospitals’ project and industry leaders to connect local, qualified individuals with jobs. “Doug has been instrumental in supporting the advancement of NIC
trades and technology programs,” O’ Connell says. “With his guidance,

Students such as Regina Gray in NIC’s apprenticeship programs play an important role in filling demand for skilled tradespeople in the construction of new Campbell River and Comox Valley hospitals. Gray graduated from the Lather program this fall and is now working on the hospital site.
Lather: Wall and Ceiling program on Vancouver Island.” The program provides students with an introduction to the trade, which plays an important role in the production of ceilings and walls in commercial, high-rise and residential buildings. It is just one of many NIC foundation and apprenticeship programs available to North Island students, including welding, heavy mechanical, electrical, carpentry and plumbing trades training. “NIC foundation programs are critical to providing base skills employers are looking for,” Podetz says. NIHP predicts hospital construction will create an estimated 2,200 direct jobs and more than 1,400 indirect jobs. The project started in July 2014 and is expected to be completed by summer 2017. Peak employment is expected by early summer 2016. “As the hospital project takes shape, there is

Campbell River has a new committee that has the mission to improve services to some of the most vulnerable folks in our community, those living without a secure home. The committee is called Homes First, based on the core belief in a social policy called Housing First. Housing First approaches are based on the concept that a homeless individual or household’s first and primary need is to obtain stable hous-

ing, and that other issues that may affect the household can be addressed once housing is obtained. The Homes First committee was formed by social service providers who had previously served on the City’s Homelessness Coalition and who felt that they would be more productive on their own. When these members resigned from the Campbell River Homelessness Coalition the City chose to discontinue the
Coalition. The City of Campbell River recently commissioned a homeless count. Another comprehensive count was conducted by the Campbell River Homelessness Task Force in 2011. At a town hall meeting that was held during that process, it was very clearly stated by a few homeless folk in attendance that what they wanted to see was “action, any action, not another survey.” Homes First meets monthly to consider

PROGRESS 2015 Campbell River Economic Update
First place Cermaq claims another point Cermaq City Wave FC faced a strong and well organized Cowichan team this past weekend. Their typical Saturday afternoon match was moved to Sunday, which was fortunate, as Saturday saw gale-force winds and torrential rain made the pitch unplayable. The winds did however allow the pitch to dry out and it was in excellent shape for the Sunday noon encounter. Cermaq started in reasonable fashion moving the ball with comfort against the 10-man Cowichan team. As can occasionally happen, however, the extra-man advantage provides teams with so much time they are lulled into a false sense of security. Cowichan sat back and were superbly marshalled by their two center backs and hard working midfield four. Cermaq enjoyed the greater possession but were only able to create two or three clear chances and each was saved by the experienced visitors’s keeper. It could be argued that Cowichan had the best opportunity of the half when their center forward might have done better after a fine cross was headed over the cross bar from the edge of the six-yard box. Cermaq suffered a huge blow when they lost midfielder Mark Ross to a facial injury in a very nasty collision. The second half saw much of the same as Cowichan played on the break and were compact in defence. Cermaq were reduced to knocking long hopeful balls which invari-

ably were caught up in the wind. It seemed the quality of the final ball was lacking and despite constant pressure on the Cowichan defence they failed to create any real scoring opportunities. As the whistle blew Cowichan rightly celebrated an outstanding point earned in the 0-0 draw while Cermaq players were very disappointed to see another two points at home go astray.
The stats make interesting reading for the Campbell River boys. In six home games this year they have won three, drawn 3 and lost one. In contrast on those long journeys down-Island they have five wins and one draw. Cermaq, who remain in first place, now head back down-Island to take on the third place PLSC Lakers at Layritz Park next Saturday at 4 p.m.

Emmy Stapff of Campbell River pushes hard to the finish line last weekend in Whistler, at the Strathcona Nordics’ first event of the season.
Gavin Chatterton and Emmy Stapff both placed first in their age groups. Anna Chatterton, also from Campbell River, had
an excellent race and placed 3rd. The Comox Valley had an even bigger showing of racers, with Hugo Henckel, Naomi
Swift, Carson Damery, Aiden Noble, Matthew Salmon and Connor McGrady, all winning their respective categories. Stapff says that her athletes have been training hard since May. “It’s really great to be on snow and put all that preparation into action. “This race was a good primer for some of the bigger races coming up.” The next race for the Nordics will be Dec. 12 and 13 at Sovereign Lakes, in Vernon, B.C. The Nordics will be going head to head with the best athletes from across the province, as well as teams from Ontario, Quebec, Alberta and the Yukon.

Strathcona Nordics glide to gold in Whistler The Strathcona Nordics took the mainland by storm this past weekend, sending a grand total of 25 racers to Whistler Olympic Park’s cross-country ski trails for their first race of the season. With fresh snow and blue skies, the team could not have asked for better conditions, nor a keener crew. The Nordics came away from the race with all athletes placing in the top 10, and 20 athletes leaving with medals. “It was a fantastic start to our 2015/2016 racing season and I’m really proud of our group of athletes,” said Head Coach Andrea Stapff. “Our racers set out to make an impression, and they all succeeded in doing so.” Hailing from Campbell River,

Mount Washington Alpine Resort will open this Friday for the 2015/16 winter season. The decision to start spinning the lifts comes after the mountain received a metre of snow this past week. “We are thrilled to be opening on time and with such amazing conditions,” says Director of Business Operations Don Sharpe. “We have had back-to-back weather systems that came as copious amounts of snow. Staff training started in earnest once the systems hit and we are excited to welcome them and our guests back on Friday!” With the snow plentiful, and more in the forecast, the conditions are setting up the Resort for a great start to the season. “The past week has been awesome for setting up a good base and more snow is forecast with cooler temperatures for the rest of the week,” says Jessie Percival, Director of Ski Patrol. “We now have amazing early season coverage and have a well-bonded base.” He adds, “The Snow cats will be out on the slopes everyday now until we open on Friday so we would ask that guests refrain from going into the Alpine while we prepare.” In addition to the Alpine downhill terrain, the resort will be opening its world-class Nordic area with Cross Country skiing and snowshoeing as well at the ever popular Tube Park; fun for families and thrill-seekers. An announcement on lift openings, terrain and updated hours of operation will be made Thursday. Check back at mountwashington.ca, Facebook, or sign up for our snow report for the latest information.
