Jennifer Baker has enjoyed a beautiful ocean view from her home for 30 years, but a neighbour’s construction project is blocking that vista.

Baker is preparing to sell her house on South Murphy Street and she worries that the new shed behind her will spoil the pretty ocean view and substantially lower the asking price.

“I’m fixing it up and I’m going to lose,” said Baker.

“The view is going to be gone.

I would just have a corner and I’m not paying taxes to have a corner view.”

Baker’s neighbour is building a shed for his boat, a 648 square foot building that’s roughly 15 feet high. There’s no roof on the structure yet, but once it goes up, Baker said her view of the ocean will be completely blocked and replaced by a big, wooden box whenever she looks out her big living room windows or patio doors.

“Once he puts the roof up, the view is gone,” said Baker.

“It just makes me sick to look at it – it shouldn’t be there.”

She also recently cut down some trees on her property to enhance the view, but now she figures it was all a waste.

But Baker isn’t the only one who stands to have their view spoiled. Her next door neighbour, Jim Johnson, said the building affects the view of several homes.

“It’s not fair,” said Johnson. “In this case, if impairing the homeowners’ views is not legally wrong, it sure is morally wrong. I’m sure a similar situation would not take place in front of the home of a city official or planning department employee.”

He said he doesn’t understand why a variance process where

Like Johnson, Baker said she’s upset she had no warning the boat shed would be going up and figured there would be a letter from the city or the property owner.

“I don’t know why the hell the city ever approved it,” said a frustrated Baker.

Ross Blackwell, the

city’s land use manager, said the homeowner was awarded the building permit because the project meets the property’s zoning bylaw.

Although older developments with ocean views often have restrictive covenants placed on them to ensure the view, and value of the property, is maintained, Blackwell said to his knowl-

Rescuers stalled by BC Hydro PAUL RUDAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Injured and bleeding, she wants out of the car wreck.

“Get me out of here!” she pleads.

Standing by are firefighters, paramedics and police. But there’s little they can do until a hydro crew arrives.

Instead, they offer calm and authoritative reassurances.

“Stay there!”

“Help is coming!”

“Don’t move!”

T he 36-year-old injured driver listens and stays put. For now.

Approximately 15 minutes earlier, she was driving south on Alder, between 6th and 7th Avenues, when she lost control of the red two-door Oldsmobile and slammed straight into a utility pole on the right side of street.

The impact splits the wood pole, crushes the front end of the car and sends the front left hubcap spinning 40 metres up the road.

Emergency crews arrive within minutes of the 911 call, which comes at 4:47 p.m., and quickly close off the street to traffic. But there’s not much else they can do.

The pole supports live wires, a 1,000pound transformer and a street light. The fear is the pole will collapse and could electrocute the victim as well as emergency workers.

“My family expects

me home tonight,” says a firefighter.

So he stands and waits for BC Hydro to arrive in order to secure the pole and cut the power. However, he walks partway across the street and uses a pole to slip an insulating pad under the woman’s feet – she’s sitting halfway out from the driver’s seat – just in case.

And then he retreats back to where the other emergency workers are standing and waiting.

They keep looking up the road for hydro to arrive and their frustration mounts.

“Come on, come,” he mutters.

The female victim is also becoming impatient as she cries out in pain, “I can’t make it, you don’t understand!”

But they do understand and implore her to stay inside the car.

“Deep breaths, nice and slow. The hospital’s waiting for you,” says a paramedic.

At 5:15 p.m., a BC Hydro boom truck and a lineman arrives. He assesses the situation, but does nothing. A second truck is required to properly secure the heavy transformer.

Ten minutes later, the second truck and lineman shows up.

They manoeuvre their trucks beside the pole as one worker goes up in the bucket and secures the transformer to the boom.

Drag strip proposal could run into roadblock KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A multi-sport park that proponents claim could host NASCAR

and drag race events, has the city’s support, but it might not be enough.

Eric Har per and Andy DeRoover, both

from Campbell River, want to build a venue that would not only facilitate racing, but also include an amusement park, bumper

boats, hover crafts and a daycare.

“We are proposing to build a multi-sport park for the purpose of having multiple rev-

“The ALR seems to be the biggest problem,” said DeRoover.

“So now we are looking for other property as well as the property by the airport because the ALC (Agricultural Land Commission) may turn us down, and we hear that’s most likely what will happen.”

Although the city supports the location in general terms, there are still technical details and issues that need to be worked out.

“Lands on the west side of the airport are not serviced nor have public road access.

Accordingly, appropriate site servicing would be required as a condition of approval,” said Ross Blackwell, the city’s land use services manager, in a report to council.

“This includes the provision of potable water and sewage disposal. Road access will need to be resolved either through dedication and construction of a public road or possibly an access easement over intervening lands.”

Local man seriously injured in vehicle crash

A 32-year-old local man was seriously injured in a crash west of the city on Friday morning. The driver was the only occupant in the vehicle which occurred on Highway 28, 12 kilometres west of Campbell River.

The right equipment makes all the difference in the world, giving you the energy and endurance to do more. With hearing aids so discreet you forget you’re wearing them, and technology sophisticated enough to adapt to whatever situation you’re in, you’re free to enjoy the moment.

To feel empowered, energized and engaged, get the equipment you need with the service to match.

DeRoover and Harper are now looking at other communities in the event the land, which is owned by TimberWest, will not be available.

“Until we find the right place to build, which may not be in Campbell River now, we keep on looking,” said DeRoover. “Wherever this park is built, will get the huge benefits that come with it.”

Harper and DeRoover estimate the venue would host three to four major events per year, such as National Hot Road Association sanctioned events, that could draw 20,000 to 30,000 people to the city. They figure if NASCAR can be brought in, 50,000 people may attend.

The park would operate 12 months of the year. Centred around a dirt, quarter-mile race track the facility would be aimed at families and may host a junior drag school for up and coming racers, rock/ hill climbing, a drivein theatre and access to R.V. camping and track camping.

enue streams from several businesses within the park that will all contribute to maintain a quarter-mile track,” Harper told council in March when he and DeRoover made a presentation to city council, looking for its support.

Last week, council gave support in principle to the concept of an extreme multi-sport park development, but there are still significant hurdles facing the proposal.

The men are looking at a site, in excess of 400 acres, on the west side of the airport.

The land is designated as Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR), a provincial zone in which agriculture is recognized as the priority use.

Although the agricultural value of the land is uncertain, in order for the park to be built on the site, the province would need to give approval for either the land to be excluded from the Agricultural Land Reserve or for the park to exist within the protected lands.

Paul Jenkins (left), president of the Regional Council of the Red Cross Coastal Region, accepts a cheque from Jim Dores, President of Thrifty Foods at the Thrifty Foods Admirals Walk grocery store with store managers from across B.C. The money was collected at the tills of all the Thrify Foods for the Japan Relief Drive and was initiated after the devastating earthquake and tsunami on March 11. To date the Red Cross has collected $26 million Canada-wide.

Shoppers get on board for Japanese relief ERIN MCCRACKEN BLACK PRESS

It’s not every day a cheque this size comes across Jim Dores’s desk.

“I haven’t been with Thrifty Foods long but I sense that they are very reactive to situations like that, and when this came across my desk, I thought, holy mackerel, this is

tremendous,” Dores said.

Since a massive earthquake and tsunami ravaged parts of Japan on March 11, Thrifty shoppers have donated more than $54,000 at grocery tills in support of relief efforts. Dores presented the funds last Wednesday to Paul Jenkins, regional council president of the B.C. chapter of the

Canadian Red Cross.

“I’m surprised every day,” said Dores, who has been in the grocery retail business for more than 40 years, including 12 with Sobeys and five months with Thrifty’s.

“I’ve never met an org anization or a culture like this,” he said. “It doesn’t matter if it’s local or it’s international, it just

“We seem to go from one (disaster) to another,” said Jenkins.

“It amazes me people continue to support one (crisis) after the other, which is heartening.”

seems that the culture of Thrifty Foods is to jump in and be there.”

Funds donated by customers on Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland will be distributed by the Canadian Red Cross to the Japanese Red Cross, to provide people with the basic necessities of life.

Speed plan put to a halt

BY JEFF NAGEL BLACK PRESS

ICBC has withdrawn its plan to make drivers with speeding tickets or other recent traffic violations pay more in order to give those with a clean record deeper discounts.

Public Safety Minister Shirley Bond ordered the public auto insurer to “go back to the drawing board and rethink the options” for major reforms to the rate structure.

Bond said any hike in premiums from a single speeding ticket – which ICBC originally intended – is “not reasonable” but left the door open for changes b a s e d o n d r iv i n g records, rather than just at-fault claims.

ICBC president and CEO Jon Schubert said the corporation didn’t adequately communicate the planned changes.

“We apologize for the concern this caused,” Schubert said. “We’re

Managing 4x10 Your Money MoneyMANAGE and MONEY marriage ¿nancial INVSTORS–GROUP to-do’s before saying “I do” One of the wonderful mysteries of marriage is how two, often very different people, can learn to live as one – and stay that way through thick and thin, the inevitable ups and downs, for many, many years. It all comes from having a strong foundation of love, mutual respect, understanding – and of your new ¿nancial life together. So for couples just starting out, here are some essential ¿nancial tips to consider.

Build a ¿nancial foundation that matches the life you want to build together Be clear on the ground rules right from the start. Decide how you’ll handle shared expenses – especially if one spouse has a greater income than the other. Will you split expenses evenly or pay a portion according to each partner’s income?

Consider whether to use a joint bank account or keep individual accounts.

Check your ¿nancial baggage at the door When it comes to your credit history, full disclosure is a must. A partner’s bad – and unshared – credit history could cause some unpleasant surprises if you decide on a joint credit card or jointly apply for a loan.

Build from shared ¿nancial goals Agree on how you’ll approach major goals like buying a home or starting a family. If you have children, get started on an RESP to help save for their education.

going to take a step back and rethink the options for a reasonable way to share risk, and we’ll do a much better job of gathering public input.”

Province-wide consultations are promised on a range of options.

ICBC had said it intended to make drivers pay more for insurance if they have any traffic tickets within the previous three years.

That was expected

to raise the costs for 30 per cent of drivers, while about two-thirds would pay less.

Bond said she agrees with the goal of giving safer drivers lower rates, but defining a high-risk driver as having one speeding ticket was not acceptable to her or the public.

“In the course of their work, ICBC made a determination that they had had some minimal consultation, talked about the use of a single speeding

ticket, none of which had been discussed with gover nment,” Bond said. “And obviously, the general public didn’t think that was such a good idea either.”

She said the B.C. Utilities Commission will have the final say on rate changes. One of the cost pressures ICBC has is that while the number of accidents in B.C. is declining, the cost of personal injury settlements continues to rise.

Thief planning a camp out?

RCMP responded to a report of a break and enter at the Parks Canada work site just past Buttle Narrows Bridge on May 9.

General duty and forensic officers attended and discov-

ered that numerous structures and buildings had been entered.

Facility staff reported that vehicle keys, trail counters, fishing gear and a sleeping bag were stolen.

At this point there

are no witnesses or suspects in this matter.

The investigation into this crime continues, RCMP urge anyone with information on this offence to contact the Campbell River RCMP.

Get it in writing It’s not at all romantic but a marriage contract or prenuptial agreement can be important if you want to protect certain assets accumulated prior to your marriage – like a business or family cottage – or to protect assets for children from a previous relationship.

Expect the best – plan for the worst If something were to happen to either of you, how will you take care of each other? Not a happy thought – but it could happen. Disability insurance can provide a steady income stream for your family if you become disabled and unable to work. In the event of your death, life insurance can provide a lump sum to your bene¿ciaries. Mortgage insurance can help pay off some or all of that large debt.

Make your life less taxing Reduce your tax bill by taking advantage of all available deductions and income-splitting opportunities like spousal RRSPs and pension income splitting.

Use other tax-planning and

investment strategies that will deliver immediate and longterm retirement bene¿ts.

Where there’s a will, there’s a way Except in Québec, marriage usually voids all earlier wills – so update yours. Make sure it spells out exactly how you want your assets distributed.

Don’t forget to also update your Power of Attorney, in which you indicate who can make decisions on your behalf if you are still alive but unable to make ¿nancial decisions.

Be sure your ¿nancial foundation is as strong and enduring as your love for each other – talk to your professional advisor about the plans and strategies that make the most sense for your unique union.

Opinion

PUBLISHER: Zena Williams publisher@campbellrivermirror.com

EDITOR: Alistair Taylor editor@campbellrivermirror.com

Our View

Here’s to a less toxic environment It looks as if B.C. will soon get a ban on cosmetic pesticides.

NDP leader Adrian Dix recently proposed legislation to ban the use of cosmetic pesticides across the province, then challenged Premier Christy Clark to take action.

Clark, the new B.C. Liberal leader, says she has supported a ban for years and wants to work with the opposition and the public to find the best way to further restrict the use of lawn and garden weed killers.

If the two leaders can work together to pass a bill, it would be a promising sign bi-partisan co-operation is possible in a forum more noted for rancorous debate.

The dumping of toxic chemicals on such “weeds” as dandelions and chickweed (which are both edible) is totally unnecessary. Why should those who can’t be bothered to weed by hand endanger others by building up a toxic environment?

The province can look to such cities as White Rock, which has had a pesticide ban in place since July 2008, Surrey and more recently Nanaimo for examples.

The Surrey school district banned cosmetic herbicides three years ago, and last month vowed to “curtail and diminish” the use of pesticides and insecticides in and around its schools.

The bylaws came about in part from pressure from the

people in various communities.

Thanks to such lobbying, the message is getting heard at the provincial level.

More than 20 cities throughout B.C. have already banned cosmetic pesticide use.

But for such a ban to be effective, it needs to be province-wide, so we don’t have examples of people being able to buy their dandelion death juice from a neighbouring municipality.

So here’s to a less toxic environment, both in the legislature and on our lawns.

– Peace Arch News/Black Press

Good point: RCMP I was extremely disappointed to read an article in the May 6 edition of the Campbell River Mirror regarding Wade Cahill pleading guilty to break and enter on a boat, and theft at Superstore.

Last year my boat was broken into the same day as this individual was arrested outside Superstore. In fact, the constable who came to my boat told me they had him in custody.

At the time, I lost more than $2,000 of items including a brand new Mac laptop, two passports and other pieces of identification. I am still in the process of replacing some of the pieces of ID and none of the other items have been recovered.

The constable on scene seized a cigarette lighter that obviously had fingerprints on it (I didn’t touch it) and there were many other items on my boat that the culprit had touched, as my boat had been thoroughly ransacked. So, I believe it would have been easy to find fingerprints.

I see this as a failure of the RCMP to understand that break and enters are just as important as other crimes and maybe they should spend more time investigating them. This is especially the case where an individual who had been breaking into boats and was caught within 500 metres of my boat in the Discovery Harbour Marina.

I feel I have been victimized by the criminal and by the RCMP on their failure to conduct a thorough investigation.

Continued on Page 11

I have just one question: Does your dog bite?

Paul Rudan No, Really

I spotted my buddy Rick during the opening ceremonies of the MiniWorld Cup at the Pinecrest field on Saturday afternoon.

He was standing there cuddling his cute little dog which prompted me to sneak up, tap him on the shoulder and ask in my best (worst?) Inspector Clouseau French accent, “Does your dog bite?”

He laughed and replied, in an equally bad accent, “Why, no!”

For those who never saw the Peter Sellers film from the 1970s, the gag ends with Clouseau getting chomped on the finger. Clutching his injured hand, he angrily asks, “I thought you said your dog doesn’t bite?”

To which, the hotel clerk replies,

“That is not my dog.”

Fortunately, for my finger, the dog does belong to Rick and is quite friendly.

After a sniff and a lick – hey, I’m talking about the dog! – I headed over to my next photo assignment, the annual SPCA open house.

There I met Judy Hagen with her poodle/pomeranian Maggi. Like Rick’s dog, Maggi is a cute little slipper (a term my wife affectionately uses for all small dogs) who performs tricks on command and appears happiest all curled up in Hagen’s arms.

But Maggi seems an unlikely candidate for the course Hagen teaches to school children on behalf of the SPCA, “Bite Free: Dog Bite Preven-

tion Program.”

Maggi doesn’t look like the biting type, but you never know.

Back in my newspaper delivery days, my best friend, who also delivered papers on another route, showed me the bite implanted on his calf by a small dog. It was perfect ‘V’ shape and for years we joked how it stood for “Victory!”

But he got the last laugh. The neighbour’s mutt Putz – who dearly loved the taste of paper boys – nipped me once and then a huge German shepherd almost ran me down at the end of his 100-foot-long driveway.

“You shouldn’t have ran,” Hagen told me as I related the story. “It becomes a game for them and then

they chase!”

No, kidding. But this was a really, really big dog and, at the time, I was almost half its size.

“But...” I tried to say.

“Never run,” instructed Hagen.

I don’t run from dogs now, but I never had a Bite Free program to learn from when I was a kid. Back then, your job was to deliver the paper no matter what, even if a hound was hanging onto your rear end.

I’m glad things have changed.

The Mirror’s paper carriers are instructed to not deliver if there’s a menacing dog lurking in the yard.

And, usually, a solution is worked out with the owner, which sure beats getting chomped!

About those crayfish Keep the name I was born and raised in Campbell River and lived in the Willow Point area.

I fished all of the streams of the area, mostly Simms Creek and Ken Forde Creek (most people now refer to it as Willow Creek) and their contributaries.

Around 2005, I was working for a local contractor, running an excavator near Stories Beach, when we discovered hundreds of crayfish.

We were told to capture and relocate the down stream from where we were working.

Well, when I was a kid fishing in these streams there were never any crayfish.

Now, from what I can determine, they seem to be in every stream

and lake in the area.

Well, I am not a biologist, but come on, if these critters are in every stream and lake, would it not seem apparent that these crayfish would possibly be feeding on the soft, palatable, unmoving salmon eggs?

I have spoken to a number of individuals within the fisheries department, both in Ottawa, Vancouver, Nanaimo and Campbell River and no one had ever heard anything dealing with the possibility of crayfish being a detriment to the salmon stocks.

It just appears no one is looking at this situation as being problem.

Please look into this.

Kerry J.C. McRae, White Rock

Like many others I wonder what is wrong with the name of our Island Highway? We are in tough economic times and to waste thousands of dollars to rename a stretch of highway is ridiculous.

Not only is it a waste of taxpayers’ money, but also there are other hidden economic impacts that will occur that haven’t been considered. Every business located along this stretch of highway will have to change their address on every piece of stationary, advertising material, business cards, postal meters, office stamps, websites, etc.

Every resident will have to send out or contact everyone that they get mail or a bill from.

Why not put that money into something positive impact such as sports revenues for kids, improving more of the Sea Walk, or, do I dare say, save the money to defer future tax increases!

I apologize if I have offended anyone, but this is a lot larger than changing the name on a little green sign.

RCMP: Unhappy with the response Continued from Page 10

I wo u l d l i k e a response as to why fingerprints were not taken and also if this individual was ever investigated for my

break and enter?

I was, at one time, a supporter of the RCMP and police in general, but I am starting to believe many of the items we read about in the media and some of

the antics members of the force have been up to. The constable who investigated my break and enter did not seem to care and, generally, was not interested.

Also, when I came to

the RCMP station to drop off a list of the stolen items, the civilian member at the counter was rude and abrasive to me. This seems to be the typical response to policing in this town

as I have never lived in a town where I see so many drunken adults or stoned drug addicts every day.

Our Water Thatch: A question of balance

2X14 Contrary to popular belief,

Helping hand

leaving grass clippings behind after mowing does not create thatch. Grass clippings actually provide the following benefits: • Contribute up to 25 per cent of the lawn’s fertilizer needs, • Shade soil and roots and

Luisa Richardson

help retain soil moisture, • Encourage beneficial soil microorganisms and earthworms, • Decrease need to haul away grass clippings Thatch is created by the build-up of less easily digested parts of the grass: roots, crowns and lateral stems. A half inch layer of thatch is beneficial because it: • Acts as mulch to retain soil moisture, • Cushions soil, making it spongy to walk on, which reduces compaction, • Protects crown and roots from winter cold.

Under ideal conditions, thatch production by the plant and break down by soil microorganisms will be in balance. Thatch becomes a problem when improper lawn maintenance creates an imbalance.

Too much nitrogen fertilizer causes the plant to grow excessively fast, beyond the capacity of the microorganisms to digest thatch and lawn clippings.

Over-watering keeps the thatch wet, encouraging roots to grow within the thatch. Thatch doesn’t retain water well and will eventually dry out. When that happens, the plant material growing in the thatch will die and contribute to more thatch.

Once dry, thatch will not re-wet and repels water, no matter how much you add.

Dethatch in spring. Leave thatch behind over winter to protect the roots and crown of the grass from cold weather.

Average water use triples in summer time due to inefficient lawn and garden watering. Increased use at peak periods compromises City of Campbell River firefighting ability and increases operating and capital costs.

The 2011 ride begins at the gravesite of Eykelenboom in Courtenay, then takes participants through some of Vancouver Island’s most beautiful scenery, ending the first night

Judy is a Senior Personal Lines Broker at Vancouver Island InsuranceCentres. She joined the Rotary Club in Campbell River in 1998 to get more involved with volunteering for the Community and to find out more how she could help internationally through the many projects Rotary does. Judy is very involved with many local projects including projects to Eradicate Polio and the Rotary Wheelchair Foundation. She is very proud to say she is a Rotarian.

Currently a lawyer at Shook, Wickham, Bishop and Field, Kevin Simonett joined Daybreak Rotary in 2010 after being invited to a meeting by Dan Wickham.

The Campbell River Arts Council is offering a unique opportunity for writers to attend a series of workshops with one of Canada’s finest young poets, Matt Rader.

Rader is offering the Arts Council a series based on the overall theme of “Writing Life.”

The second workshop in the series will take place on May 29 from 1-4 p.m. Entitled “Taking Shape: An Exploration of Literary Form,” this workshop asks, how do writers discover and utilize the shapes of their writings? How does a poet know how her lines should be arranged or a fiction writer decide to tell his story as series of flashbacks? What are the advantages and disadvantages of planning the shape of your writing before you write?

Investigate the function of literary form and strategies for turning it into an advantage in your writing.

Rader grew up in the Comox Valley and is the author of three books of poetry, most recently, A Doctor Pedalled Her Bicycle Over the River Arno (Anansi 2011). His poems, stories

Gymnast wins all-around title at Delta meet The Campbell River Gymnastics Association sent five athletes to the Delta Invitational for their annual competition on May 7-8.

Melissa Morton was solid on her events sticking a nice back layout and back tuck on the floor to earn her a fifth place finish on the floor. She followed up with another stick on the vault for a ninth place finish.

Her sister, Kayla Morton, competes in the Level 4 Open division, and had a strong powerful front handspring full twist on vault to earn a silver medal.

Kayla was consistent on her other apparatus as well finishing fifth on bars, sixth on the beam and seventh on the floor to give her a fifth place all-around finish.

Tiffany Sharkie was on a roll to start off the competition in the Level 3 Open category.

She won vault with a big front handspring full twist and went over to the bars where she earned another gold medal.

After a slip on the beam in warm-up, she hit her ribs on the beam and was unable to continue with the competition.

Melissa MacAdam also competed in the Level 3 Open category and was able to come home with the all-around title. She finished second on vault, third on bars, third on beam – adding a new handstand back handspring to the routine – and finishing fifth on the floor.

Aimee Clark was competiting in the cash and carry event. This event groups together all the level 5 and up athletes to compete for money.

Because of the National Level athletes she was competing against, we knew this would be a hard task to try and finish in the top so it was a good time to try some new skills.

Clark hit a 13 score for the first time with her bar routine adding a back layout one-and-a -alf twist dismount taking a slight step.

She also upgraded her beam routine, adding a standing back flip with a pike in the middle.

Both new skills were performed quite well and adding more skills is the plan to get her to National Open for next season.
