Heartbroken SPCA volun-teers say the city’s decision to award animal control services to another company has forced the community back into the dark ages.

Sheila Keats and her husband Gary volunteered as dog walkers for the SPCA for more than nine years, and she’s devastated the city doesn’t see animal welfare as a priority.

“An essential service to our community is no more,” Keats says. “It’s up there with police, ambulance and fire as far as I’m concerned. Animal welfare is up there.

“It’s a sad day for the SPCA and a return to the dark ages of animal welfare, it is a step back-wards. It’s hard to find any joy in all of this, it’s hard to make peace with this. It’s a shock and it’s hard to accept.”

The SPCA notified the com-munity via a letter on its website on Wednesday afternoon that it would be ceasing its operations in Campbell River after 30 years

of providing protection for ani-mals.

That decision is already havinga far-reaching effect on the com-munity.

The SPCA had been partneringwith the Campbell River and Dis-trict Association for Community Living. Through the Hand-to-Paw buddy program, special needs clients formed strong bonds with the shelter dogs which helped them to open up and taught them how to brush, walk, and interact with dogs.

Nicky Good, a volunteer dog walker with the SPCA for three years, said it’s a blow to the cli-ents to lose that program.

“That Hand-to-Paw – it madetheir day,” Good says. “And now all of that is gone.”

Also gone is the SPCA’s BiteFree program, taught by Judy Hagen and her dog Maggi, which demonstrated to daycare and school children the proper way to approach a dog and avoid being bit by an aggressive dog.

Then there’s the SPCA’s spayand neuter program which helped control the community’s feral cat

population.“Eight-hundred cats

went out that door f ixed, de-wor med, adopted,” Keats says. “Imagine the impact that has on the cat population – it reduces the cat population. Ser-vices for cats and small animals will no longer be available. This new company is operating an impound for dogs.”

Coastal Animal Con-trol will deal with barking and biting complaints and will pick up and seize any unlicensed, injured, surrendered, stray, dangerous, vicious or dead animals.

City Clerk Peter Wipper said Coastal Animal Control will specifically deal with animal control.

“If you’ve got a bark-ing dog the contractor will deal with that,” Wipper says. “The one thing that will be dif-

ferent is the SPCA ran a shelter whereby resi-dents could surrender their animals to the shelter and the SPCA would care for them. Our pound will no lon-ger do that.

“The pound will be available to the public just for them to pick up their dogs.”

Impounded dogs will remain at the former SPCA shelter on Mere-croft Road for five days, according to Trevor Hughes, Coastal Ani-mal Control Services of B.C.’s CEO. Dogs unclaimed within that time frame will be shipped to one of two Coastal Animal Con-trol adoption centres on the Island.

“On the other hand,” Hughes said, “dogs that possess any form of identification or appear well fed and socialized may be held for several weeks while trying to locate an

owner. After we have exhausted all avenues of re-uniting the lost pet with its owners, then and only then, the dog will be available for adoption.”

Hughes said, “Our priority to public safety and education is mirrored by our com-passionate treatment of animals. We have been acting as an ani-mal control and ani-mal shelter for nearly 40 years on Vancouver Island.

“ We h av e t w o large animal shelter branches so no dog is ever turned away due to lack of space.”

The pound in Camp-bell River will be open to the public from 4-5 p.m. Monday to Friday and from noon-1 p.m. on Saturdays or by appointment.

Keats says that does not provide any time for volunteers.

“In a nutshell there

will be no volunteer opportunities for me at this point,” she says. “That place has been like my second home. I’ve never seen a more dedicated, hard-working group of vol-unteers. This has left a big gap in the com-munity and a hole in my heart. And for the staff to get up on Tues-day morning to realize they’re unemployed...”

Good also feels for the staff – some of which have worked at the SPCA for most of their lives.

“How can you do that to local people who have given so much and bring in an out-of-town company,” Good says. “There’s just some things in life, sure it’s a lot of money but it’s the right thing to do to look after ani-mals. Obviously it’s not a priority in this town, which breaks my heart.

“There was so much love for the animals up there. After having the SPCA here for 30 years it’s a huge step backward for animal welfare.”

Craig Daniell, chief executive officer with the BC SPCA, said the decision was made to close the Campbell River branch – which served the entire North Island and was losing $10,000 a year – because city council voted to award the city’s animal enforcement contract to a private out-of-town company, Coastal Ani-mal Control.

“This difficult situa-tion has arisen because of the city’s decision to award the pound service contract to a bidder who signifi-cantly undercut the BC SPCA’s proposal,” said Daniell.

The SPCA, which was paid $167,000 by the city in 2012 to adminis-

ter both animal control and run the animal shelter submitted a cost estimate of $231,350 plus 50 per cent of all dog licensing revenue ($15,000) to provide those services in 2013 while Coastal Animal Control submitted a bid of $130,000. Coun-cil voted at a council meeting Jan. 22 to give the enforcement con-tract to Coastal Ani-mal control but retain the SPCA shelter ser-vices at a negotiated amount.

City Manager Andy Laidlaw said the SPCA tur ned that of fer down.

“Council had hoped the combination of continued access to the building and the grant-in-aid offer would have allowed the SPCA to continue to operate in Campbell River, especially because the grant funding appears to be more generous

than what is typically offered to local SPCA branches by other com-munities,” Laidlaw said last week.

The SPCA, which cared for 1,193 animals in 2011 out of its Camp-bell River branch, says it was forced to pull out of the city because a $34,000 grant-in-aid from the city was not enough to sustain its operations and a paid 10-member staff.

T h a t d e c i s i o n prompted the city to award both the enforce-ment and animal shel-ter contract to Coastal Animal Control for $130,000 per year, which falls into council’s ani-mal control and pound services budget limit of $164,000.

People with animal complaints or wanting to make arrangements to have their pets picked up can contact Coastal Animal Con-trol at 1-888-754-1397.

PAUL RUDANCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Diane Palmer is well aware there’s little or nothing city council can do to bring the SPCA back to Camp-bell River.

That’s why today’s noon-hour rally in front of city hall is about holding local politicians account-able for their actions, she says.

“Council needs to be responsible…with no SPCA, what are we going to do when animal welfare issues need to be dealt with?” she asks.

As of Monday, Coastal Animal Control Ser-vices began operating in the city after being awarded the contract over the SPCA (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals).

City council, act-ing on the recom-mendation of staff, chose Coastal to oper-ate enforcement and pound services based on a far lower bid.

Coastal also operates in several other Island communities and city council offered the SPCA a grant to con-tinue operating its other services includ-ing pet adoption, the

spaying and neutering program, dog walking program and more.

But on Friday, the SPCA sent a letter to council stating it was already operating at a loss, could not con-tinue to do so and had decided to leave Camp-bell River after three decades of service.

On Saturday, as SPCA staff and volunteers packed up their belong-ings, an impromptu rally, fueled by social media, formed at the shelter off Merecroft Road.

“It wasn’t so much a rally as it was a thank-you to the dedicated staff who spent many, many years caring for animals in our commu-nity,” says Palmer. “It was very emotional.”

Palmer worked at the local SPCA shel-ter more than 20 years ago and that led to her current job as a recep-tionist at the Merecroft Veterinary Hospital.

She knows very well the services provided by the SPCA and doesn’t believe Coastal will come close to offer-

ing the same.That’s the reason for

today’s rally which begins at 12 noon in front of city hall.

And supporters are connecting through three Facebook pages: Rally in Support of SPCA, Speak Up For the Animals, and Peti-

tion for Welfare of Animals in Campbell River.

As of Tuesday morn-ing, Palmer’s petition had more than 1,000 signatures and more than 200 people indi-cated they would attend Wednesday’s rally.

The rally, says Palmer,

is an opportunity to show city council how much support there is in Campbell River for the SPCA. It also puts council on notice that animal rights issues will not be ignored.

“The SPCA served the entire Nor th Island and now it’s

gone. They were oper-ating at capacity and I can imagine now the Comox Valley SPCA is operating at capacity,” she says.

“What was council’s motive and what are they going to do now? Where will animal rights stand?”

It was good news Tuesday for BC Hydro.

It started with offi-cial approval from the government to slightly alter the boundary at Elk Falls Provincial Park. This will allow construction to begin on the nearly $1 billion project to rebuild the John Hart Generating Station.

The second good news was $301,627 in funding for eight proj-ects taking place in the Campbell River watershed this year and next.

BC Hydro distributes the money through the Fish and Wildlife Compensation Pro-gram. Projects include evaluating improve-ments to fish access at the Salmon River Big Tree Side-Channel and investigating early marine biology of juve-nile and wild salmon around the Campbell River estuary.

Moving the park boundary required approval from the B.C. Legislature and final approval was given last week.

“This is great news for the John Hart project and allows BC Hydro to proceed with all the early site preparation works this spring and summer in order to prepare for the major construc-tion work beginning later this year,” said spokesman Stephen Watson. “BC Hydro will be obtaining Park Use Permits to work within small areas of the park. BC Hydro has committed to provide a net benefit to Elk Falls upon project comple-tion.”

Construction of the Station View Trail will begin as early as next week. This work will allow trail users to maintain the Can-

yon View Trail loop through BC Hydro property during the five-year construction period.

The Station View Trail, designed to go around the construc-tion area, will be in place this summer.

Once the John Hart project is complete, park land not required for the ongoing opera-tion will be returned to park status.

BC Hydro has com-mitted to provide a net benefit to BC Parks upon project comple-tion.

These mitigation and compensation benefits include: New paved access road and paved parking lot for pub-lic access to Elk Falls plus a crushed gravel trail connection to the Millennium Trail; Decommissioning of BC Parks’ existing two parking lots within Elk Falls Park; Trans-fer of BC Hydro lands at three potential loca-tions for an approxi-mate 3.4-hectare area at end of project.

A fire to prevent future fires wasn’t an April Fool’s joke.

On a sunny and dry Mon-day afternoon, April 1, a home owner decided to take

it open himself to clear out the dry brush bordering his property at 5400 Quinsam Rd.

That’s a no-no and it didn’t take long before a passerby called 911 to report a brush fire.

By the time firefighters

arrived, a 90-metre long by 20-metre wide swath of undergrowth had burned off the berm by the ditch.

Fire crews took their time extinguishing the smoulder-ing embers and Deputy Fire Chief Chris Vrabel noted how dry the brush is, partic-

ularly this early in spring.The home owner was on

the scene and was standingnearby with heavy equip-ment to prevent the fire’sspread, but did appear a lit-tle sheepish as he explainedwhat happened to firefight-ers.

Campbell River hom-eowners will be hit with another property tax increase as the Strath-cona Regional District approved tax hikes for some regions.

Directors approved a n d a d o p t e d t h e regional district’s 2013-2017 financial plan at a board meeting Thurs-day afternoon.

The budget includes a $6.28 property tax increase, an average household property tax of $202.52 on the avera g e Campbell River home while taxes on Quadra Island are expected to increase on average by $8.72 to an average property tax of $358.61.

On Cortes Island property taxes are set to rise by $2.16 for the average home to $707.39.

In Sayward taxes will increase by an average of $1.40 to an average price of $29.01 and in Tahsis taxes are expected to go up by $0.45 to $13.13 for

the average assessed home.

Taxes in Zeballos will go up $0.24 to an average property tax charge of $13.51 while in the Nootka/Kyuquot area property taxes will go down by $13.17 to $94.52 for the aver-age home. Taxes will also go down in Gold River by $0.08 to an average price of $16.78. Area D (Oys-ter Bay-Buttle Lake) is set to see the most s u b s t a n t i a l tax hike with taxes expected to go up on ave r a g e by $222.53 to $1,433.01 for the average assessed home at $297,694.

T he increase is largely due to Area D’s water rates which have gone up 100 per cent.

Director Brenda Leigh has vowed to fight the city, which supplies Area D’s water, on its rate increase of $0.80 per cubic metre from the previous $0.40.

The city said the rate

brings Area D custom-ers in line with the city’s fee structure for all water customers outside the city bound-aries.

“The city’s water rates are higher for customers located outside city limits to ensure that all the costs of delivering water to

these areas a r e c o v -ered,” said Ron Neufeld, the c i ty ’s g e n e r a l manager of operations. “The higher rate reflects the higher cost of deliv-

ering water to the outer limits of the city’s water system and also compensates for water charges that customers within city boundaries pay, but that the city is unable to collect from customers outside City limits.”

Leigh said Area D is a victim of taxation without representa-tion.

“Area D is currently subject to an unfair

system where our tax-payers are not repre-sented on any water committee, we are not told what we are being asked to pay for, except that the proposed increases are city pol-icy,” Leigh said in a report to the board in March.

Leigh voted in oppo-sition to the entire regional district bud-get last week in protest of the water rates.

“I’m voting against the budget in protest of Area D water rates,” Leigh said.

“I strongly object. I will be making all sorts of appeals to (the water rates). This amount is a registered dispute and a mediator is coming in.”

Director Jim Abram (Discovery Islands-Mainland Inlets) also opposed the budget and told regional directors he would be “voting against in principle.”

A b r a m s a i d h e couldn’t support a human resources/communications posi-tion at Strathcona Gardens or an $18,000

transfer to reserves for the Quathiaski Cove Sewer project on Quadra Island.

A b r a m s a i d h e received advice from the provincial gov-ernment to not put funding towards the project this year when next year gas tax funds could be put towards the cost if it turns out the entire sewer plant needs replacing.

“Their argument was why put contingency money aside if we can use the gas tax next year and I bought their argument,” Abram said.

Area A (Kyuquot/N o o t k a - S a y w a r d ) director Gerald Whal-ley also voted in oppo-sition to the budget.

Whalley had tried at a previous meeting to fund the new com-munications/human resources position from the Strathcona Gardens budget but directors had already voted to fund the posi-tion using the regional dis tr ict ’s g eneral administration bud-get.

EDITOR: Alistair [email protected]

It was perhaps fitting that B.C. returned to the Provincial Sales Tax on April Fool’s Day.

The rollout of the Harmonized Sales Tax by then-Premier Gordon Campbell was a colossal bungle during his time in office. The HST was praised by economists as sensible tax policy, and approved by many in the business community as easier to administer. But too many people felt betrayed by the way the tax was introduced,

particularly due to the fact it came on the heels of an election where no mention of the HST was made.

And after the damage had been done, and after people learned that, in general, most folks would pay more under the new regime, no attempts at explanation could turn the tide of opposition.

In the summer of 2011, residents had their say in a province-wide referendum, rejecting the HST in favour of a return to the PST. So here we are, again. Back in a world with two taxes, the GST with a few exemptions, and the PST with quite a few. There’s a great explainer on the provinces website to untangle it all—just visit http://gov.bc.ca/pst and click “What’s taxable, what’s not.”

Suffice to say, for many things the average British

Columbian will save money with the return to the PST. On things like home repairs and renovations, child safety equipment, smoke detectors, bikes, movie tickets, golf memberships, haircuts, basic cable, gym memberships and buying a new house, the return of the PST is good news and will mean significant savings. The unfortunate impact, however, is the loss of the provincial rebate of up to $230 a year for low-income individuals, which now drops to $75. As usual, the most vulnerable feel the shift most keenly. Meantime, the rest of us will adjust, as we always do.

Dear Mayor and Council, City of Campbell River

Re: Closure of Campbell River SPCA and tendering of services to Coastal Animal Services

The closure of the Campbell River SPCA raises many questions in my mind that I, as a taxpayer, animal owner and supporter of the SPCA, would like answered.

We have been told that it was done to save taxpay-ers money during the 2013 budget discussions, yet the basic math involved does not add up. The bid was only as follows:

Duties will include seize and impound animals, conduct patrols, catch and transport stray animals including dangerous dogs, investigating complaints regarding by-law violations, gathering evidence, issue tickets, provide evidence in court, if required, and pro-vide information and assistance to the public and other organizations

There is no requirement to provide the full range of

Carbon trust orchestrates campaign to discredit reportThe Pacific Carbon Trust orches-

trated a months-long campaign of calls and letters to discredit a report from B.C.’s Auditor General on its first two big carbon offset projects, before it could be released.

Just as the audit report was about to be made public, the trust, a Crown corporation created at taxpayer expense, participated in the leaking of selected critical letters to media outlets.

Then the Speaker of the B.C. leg-islature, Bill Barisoff, made a final, clumsy effort to delay the release of the report.

As soon as it was out, Environment Minister Terry Lake tried to discredit it, by blustering about all the highly paid experts who swore up and down

that a forest reserve near Koote-nay Lake, and a gas flaring reduction project near Fort Nelson, were bona fide carbon offsets worth $6 million of taxpayers’ money.

The audit states in plain language, with charts and timelines, that the $6 million was basically given away for nothing. I look forward to further audits on this carbon offset scheme, assuming it survives after the May election, because these two projects aren’t the only boondoggles.

The Pacific Carbon Trust was set up in 2008 as part of former premier Gordon Campbell’s climate change program. To make the B.C. govern-ment’s operations “carbon neutral,” the government and all of its agen-cies were required to pay the trust

$25 per tonne for their carbon dioxide emissions from fuel use.

In 2011 alone, B.C. universities paid $4.46 million to the trust. B.C.’s 60 school districts paid a total of $5.36 million the same year, and the prov-ince’s six health authorities paid $5.79 million. The money is supposed to go to projects that capture carbon, thus “offsetting” the heating of schools, the fuel burned by ambulances and so forth.

The 55,000-hectare forest reserve is known as Darkwoods. The audit shows that the Nature Conservancy of Canada decided in 2006 to buy it, using $25 million of federal taxpay-ers’ money. The deal closed in 2008, the same year the Pacific Carbon Trust was formed.

From 2008 to 2010, the trust bought 450,000 tonnes of carbon offset, based on independent evaluations that all rested on the assumption that Dark-woods would be clear-cut logged.

Since the forest was already owned by Canada’s leading conservancy, this assumption makes no sense. Was the conservancy going to log it, or flip it to someone who would, after accepting $25 million in tax money to acquire it? Legally, it could not.

(I would add that the assumption that logging releases all of the car-bon in a forest is also false. Lumber actually sequesters carbon for longer than trees, which eventually die and rot.)

The audit found a similar case

a g a i n s t E n C a n a ’s flare reduction pro-gram, which the com-pany used on many wells before the trust started offering money. EnCana was saving money as well as reduc-ing emissions without

collecting offsets. Therefore, the audit

concluded, neither of these projects was a credible offset because the emissions savings would have occurred anyway.

Here ’s the next Pacific Carbon Trust project that should be

audited. In a compli-cated transaction, the trust bought offsets from something called the Great Bear Carbon Credit Limited Part-nership.

Yes, this is the world-famous forest on B.C.’s North Coast that was subject to a preserva-

tion deal hammered out between the Coastal First Nations, the B.C. government and three U.S.-backed environ-mental groups.

That was in 2006. The offset purchases were in 2009 and 2010, years after detailed preserva-tion areas were mapped

and codified in law.Again, the trust paid

for forest that was already preserved.

Dear Graham Auger,Although you believe

that there is plenty of scientific evidence proving that diseases in wild salmon exist as a result of salmon farming on the BC coast, I regret to tell you that you are just plain wrong.

Fact: Salmon smolt must be certified dis-ease free by licensed

veterinarians before being moved from fresh water closed con-tainment hatcheries to the ocean farms.

Fish health on all farms is strictly moni-tored throughout the life of the fish.

This ensures that the exposure that fish face from common, local pathogens does not cause a health issue to either the farm stock, or the surrounding environment.

The film, Salmon Confidential that you cite as proof, is riddled with outright false and misleading infor-mation. While the producers of Salmon Confidential seem very passionate about wild salmon, the dogmatic rhetoric continues to be erroneous.

A blog exposing the false claims in the video (http://salmon-c o n f i d e n t i a l . c o m /busting-the-myths/) is

a must read for anyone that truly wishes to educate themselves, not just be exposed to the emotional and unfounded views that are expressed.

While the anti salmon farm lobby continues to tell you that the removal of salmon farms from our coast is necessary, real sci-entific evidence shows otherwise.

The Cohen Com-mission did not find

Salmon Farms to be responsible for declines in Pacific stocks.

Energy and passion would perhaps be bet-ter spent trying to understand all of the issues affecting wild salmon, and not just focus erroneously on finding the bad guys and evil corporations, pointing fingers with-out knowing all the facts.

Wa l t e r Ja kew ay, Andy Adams, Ron Kerr. Ryan Mennie, Claire Moglove, Larry Samp-

son and Mary Storry must unite and have their portrait taken and preserved in our

museum in perpetuity as the sitting Camp-bell River city council that drove the SPCA

out of Campbell River just one year after tell-ing us that we needed to absorb a 13.6% tax increase because not one city employee was redundant and Ms. Moglove in particular wanted to retain her state of “culture”.

Whatever they have done and whatever they may do their leg-acy will always be the city council that drove the SPCA out of Camp-bell River.

Learn to live with that.

I have been a resi-dent of Campbell River since 1965 and this is the lowest point in over 45 years.

services that the SPCA provided. Why not? Who was to provide them? What happens to the animals that the SPCA and Campbell River taxpayers used to care for? Did Staff talk to the SPCA and ask them for input? If they did, what did the SPCA say? Did anyone who proposed and sup-ported this plan figure this into the discus-sions?

I sat in on council meetings and heard discussions about the upgrading and replace-ment of the existing SPCA building because

they could not handle the number of animals they cared for. I heard council talk about possible site locations and additional fund-ing for the SPCA. Was all this information forgotten by those pro-posing and supporting the changes? I know several of the current council members were part of those meet-ings as I sat across from them during the meetings. I didn’t hear any of them speak out against this. Why was this dismissed or forgotten by staff and council during the SPCA closure talks?

Why did RFP 727 not

deal with animal care and only those points above? How can the supporters say that money is being saved when the same ser-vices are not being pro-vided? Where was the funding to come from for animal care?

Staff and council live in Campbell River so they must be aware of the tremendous com-munity support that the SPCA receives. Free community sup-port comes in the form of thousands of dollars in cash, care volunteers, fundrais-ers, donations of food, toys, bedding, cages, towels, veterinary ser-

vices, blankets and just about anything needed to help distressed ani-mals. Who is going to replace all that?

The statement has been made that the Comox Valley SPCA will attempt to offer animal care. Has any-one asked the citizens of Comox Valley how they feel about fund-ing Campbell River pet care? Has Campbell River staff and council approached Courtenay and Comox to ask/tell them? Does council think it is fair to expect the Comox Valley SPCA deal with more than a 100 per cent increase in animals as of April 1? Can the Comox Valley SPCA physically handle this instant influx?

I have had the Camp-

bell River SPCA help me personally in the return of two missing pets over the years. My dog escaped from our fenced yard through a hole that a neighbour had made in our fence. The dog was found, reported to the SPCA and returned home within hours. My house cat jumped from a second story window and wandered for more than two weeks. Local residents found him, called the SPCA who loaned me a humane trap. This enabled me to rescue my emaci-ated and almost dead pet. Who will help me and other pet owners now? Are Campbell River residents who find strayed pets now required to drive an almost 100 km return

trip to Comox to drop them off ? Are owners of missing pets who want to see if is their pet has been recov-ered?

We have been told that our yearly dog licence fees went to support animal care at the SPCA. As this is no longer happening are we getting a refund and cancellation of the program? If not, why not?

Did anyone on staff think that this whole decision might raise problems and fall short in so many basic areas? If not, why not? If this was such a great decision why was the discussion held in-camera where taxpay-ers will not be told who supported canning the SPCA and leaving the

city residents with no animal care facility?

As this has all be done to save taxpayers money I would like to know who much was saved from my property tax bill? How much of an increase would have been needed to support the SPCA’s continuing care of Campbell River animals?

I have left the big-gest questions till last. How do we reverse this fiasco and get the SPCA back to help us care for our pets in Campbell River? And how much will it cost to fix something that was not broken in the first place? The newly-imposed status quo is not acceptable.

Answer: Dentists have extensive knowledge of the head and neck anatomy, as it is the area they work on daily. Dentists are skilled at injections as they routinely give injections in sensitive areas.

Botox has therapeutic uses and is not just for cosmetics. If you clench or grind excessively, Botox can reduce these habits, saving your teeth and relaxing your tense facial muscles. People who suffer from headaches are getting relief with Botox. Also, people who suffer from excessive sweating can use Botox to inhibit the sweat glands.In 1992 it was two Canadian ophthalmologists who fi rst used Botox to treat wrinkles around the eyes and forehead. This treatment has been approved by the FDA and it is reported to last up 4-6 months.Botox treatment offers advantages for men and women. Botox is a purifi ed protein which is safely metabolized by the body. The appointments are short and you are able to carry on with your day as it allows for natural movement of the face. Results last up to 6 months or even longer with repeated use.The CDSBC has approved the use of Botox in dental offi ces.

Campbell River’s Lois McNestry views her Queen’s Diamond Jubilee medal not so much as a personal a ch i eve m e n t bu t rather an acknowledg-ment of how far her industry has come.

McNestry is the president and owner of Discovery Commu-nity College, a career college for adults.

She sees her Dia-mond Jubilee medal – which celebrates significant contribu-tions and achieve-ments by Canadians – as recognition for career colleges.

“I really felt hon-oured,” McNestry said upon receiving her medal last month in Ottawa.

“I think also proud that our industry stood out because we do make a differ-ence in people’s lives and getting them into work. I was really thrilled the industry was recognized.”

McNestry acknowl-edged she was not

the only one in the National Association of Career Colleges to be given a medal and said that speaks volumes about the contributions the col-leges make to adult education.

McNestry’s is one of roughly 60,000 Dia-

mond Jubilee medal-l ions spread out around the country to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II’s 60th anniversary.

Several other Camp-bell Riverites have also received one of the medals – made at the Royal Canadian

Mint – including: Mary Ashley, Donald Assu, Michael Atchi-son, Carol Chapman, Arlene Fehr, Priscilla Henderson, Shelley Howard, Maurice Johnson, Frances Jones, Sian Thomson, William West-Sells, Mayor Walter Jake-

way, Harvey Hunter, Les Ready, Jacquie Gordon, and Chief Robert Joseph.

McNestry received the honour in part for her success with Dis-covery Community College.

The post-secondary school was established in Campbell River in 1989 and McNestry got involved more than 12 years ago.

“It was just a busi-ness school at that time,” she said.

“But then it evolved

t o o t h e r c a r e e r tracts.”

The college now of fers courses in health care, trades, business and web development. Discov-ery College has also grown to have cam-puses across Vancou-ver Island and two in the Lower Mainland. McNestry said last year 95.7 per cent of the college’s gradu-ates found employ-ment – one of the best rates across North America, McNestry

said.B e y o n d t h a t ,

McNestry said Discov-ery College is involved in the community, with most students out in the field com-pleting practicums or preceptorships – practical experience and training for stu-dents supervised by an expert in the field.

The college also offers small classes sizes – the average is just less than 10 stu-dents per class – with hands-on experience.

“I found a baby bird, now what?”

Each year Mountainaire Avian Res-

cue Society (MARS) rescues or receives numerous baby wild-

life species, some are mammals but the vast majority are birds.

Every year we send out the same message, “a baby’s best chance of survival is its mother.” Sadly many people still do not get

the message and actu-ally kidnap healthy baby’s that have been left hidden whilst the mother forages or hunts for food.

Here are some guide-lines to follow should you come across baby

wildlife and especially baby birds:

■ Is the bird hurt or appear sick, symp-toms include inability to use its wings, does it seem weak or is it shivering. If the answer is yes call MARS at 1-800-304-9968 for infor-mation on how to proceed, check to make sure there are no cats or dogs nearby.

■ Does the bird appear healthy and

have feathers but is running on the ground unable to fly? This is a fledgling bird

and must spend a few days on the ground as it learns to fly, this is normal behaviour. If the bird is mainly covered in fluffy down with

a gaping mouth, it is a nestling and needs to be back in the nest; it has either fallen or

has been pushed out but will not survive on the ground.

■ Nestlings can be put back into their nest if it can be located or it can be placed in a small basket or plastic tub lined with a soft cloth or paper towel, no wet grass. The basket or tub can be placed back in a tree, when the mother hears the chick “peeping” she will come back and feed the baby. Check back from a distance to see if the adult has returned.

■ If your rescue attempts fail after a few hours then we ask you if possible to take the following steps; make sure you have gloves to protect against sharp claws and beaks. Prepare a carrier, box or even a paper bag, with small air holes, depending on the size of the bird. Gently lift and put the bird into the containerand cover it right away, avoid unneces-sary handling.

■ DO NOT GIVE FOOD OR WATER;

Managing Your MoneyPension income-splitting – why it works

and how to do it

Even for younger people,

doing the splits can be

diffi cult but, believe it

or not, doing the splits

becomes easier as you

mature. Of course, what

we’re talking about here

is not physically doing the

splits but fi nancially – as

in splitting your pension

income with a spouse or

common-law partner to

save on taxes.

The federal government

allows eligible retirees

to save on income tax by

letting couples shift up to

50% of the higher earner’s

eligible pension income to

the lower earning partner

who is taxed at a lower

rate, reducing the tax bite

for both of you. (By the

way, you don’t actually

have to pay the shifted

income to your partner,

you simply report it for tax

purposes.)

To qualify for pension

income-splitting, you

and your partner must be

Canadian residents and

either married or living in a

common-law relationship.

Regardless of your age,

income from these sources

is eligible for income

splitting:

• Lifetime pension,

bridging payments, or

annuity payments from a

registered pension plan or

foreign pension plan.

• Payments to a surviving

spouse from investments

held within a Registered

Retirement Savings Plan

(RRSP) or Registered

Retirement Income Fund

(RRIF) annuity contract

resulting from the death of

the original annuity owner.

At age 65, income from

these sources also becomes

eligible for pension

income-splitting:

• Payments from your

investments held within a

RRIF.

• The interest component

of the annuity payments

under a contract purchased

with non-registered funds.

You can qualify for

pension income splitting

even if you are receiving

a periodic pension benefi t

and have started a second

career.

But your income may

change year-to-year, so

you should frequently

re-evaluate to determine

if you still qualify for

pension income-splitting

and the percentage of

income that should

be transferred to the

lower earner in order to

maximize tax savings.

Pension income-splitting

is a valuable tax-reduction

strategy for most retirees –

but to be certain it’s right

for you, check out the tax

implications of income-

splitting -- and get good

info on other tax-saving

strategies – by talking to

your professional advisor.

WALK FOR MS

cover the container with a towel and put it in a warm, dark, quiet place do not open or disturb the bird. Make sure you wash your hands and any items such as towels, jackets etc. that may have touched the bird they do have parasites and can carry diseases.

■ Please note the exact location of the rescue so that we know where to relocate the bird if it is successfully rehabilitated. Please do not attempt to raise a baby yourself, it is against the wildlife act and they need professional help if they are to survive.

MARS offers advice on a num-ber of mammals including baby racoons, newborn fawns, seal pups and otters. However we do not have the facilities or permits to rehabilitate these species and only stabilize them before relocat-ing them to another wildlife cen-

ter on the Island. It is important to remember to call us first before attempting a rescue as these types of species can be danger-ous. Each year we also receive a number of large raptors, eagles, owls, hawks and great blue her-ons. All of these species require expert knowledge and handling, again we ask you to call for advice before attempting any kind of rescue. Injured wildlife can be very unpredictable finding hid-den strength to fight back even when they appear to be dead.

We would like to invite the pub-lic to our open house on April 7th from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 6817 Headquarters Road in Merville; we will be having a book and bake sale including tours of our facility and a chance to meet our three ambassador birds. To call for advice or other information please call 250-337-2021 or visit our web site at www.wingtips.org

MARS: Call before attempting rescue

The Campbell River Literacy Association is hosting a Scrabble Fundraiser Saturday, May 4.

The Campbell River Literacy Association has hosted three pre-vious fundraisers but they want this one to be the biggest of all!

“Everyone loves to play scrabble and beat their friends, now they will have the chance to raise money for a good cause,” says Julina Spetch, CR Literacy Association ESL Coor-dinator

Both advanced and recreational players will enjoy three rounds

of Scrabble. Players will be matched up with others of similar ability as much as pos-sible. Beverages and snacks are provided for Scrabble players. Local businesses are gener-ously supporting the event with the dona-tion of prizes and food. Prizes will be awarded for areas such as top scores, lowest score, player bringing in the highest total in dona-tions, and more.

The Campbell River Literacy Association is fundraising in sup-port of their literacy programs in Campbell River. For over 13 years

the Campbell River Lit-eracy Association has been working hard to provide free program-ming such as Adult Lit-eracy tutoring, Youth and Adult English as a Second Language tutoring, Computer literacy programming and an English Con-versation class. They train volunteer tutors, who work one-on-one or in small groups. If you know someone who could benefit from improving their literacy skills contact the Campbell River Literacy Association at 250-923-1275 for more information go to www.

literacyforall.caThe fundraiser will

run from 1-4 p.m. in the Robron Centre’s library, 740 Robron Road. Pre-registration is required. Registra-tion packages may be picked up at the Robron Centre room number #A121A or Coho Books April 9. Completed registrations may be dropped off at the same locations.

More than 92 volun-teer tutors work with the Literacy Associa-tion to provide one-on-one and small group tutoring for people working to improve their literacy skills.

April 6 from 1-3 p.m. at Campbell River Museum. Participants will receive basic information about Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, and the challenges of receiving a diagnosis. They will also learn about the different types of support available

throughout the dementia journey, and how to begin planning for the future. People with a diagnosis of early dementia, care partners and family members are all invited to attend.Pre-registration is required. To sign up, call 1-800-462-2833 or [email protected].

One of B.C.’s top young pianists will perform in Campbell River.

The North Island Branch of the Regis-tered Music Teachers will present in con-cert, Paul Williamson, winner of the 2012 Piano Competition.

He will be perform-ing Saturday, April 13 at 7:30 at the Trinity Presbyterian Church in Campbell River.

Tickets for this event may be procured from a Registered Music Teacher, at the Music Plant in Campbell River, or at the door on the evening of the concert. Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for students and seniors.

Williamson won this prestigious competi-tion when he was 16. At the same time, he also won the Atkinson and Terry Award for the best performance of an individual work for his rendition of Franz Schubert’s Sonata in G Major D894, 4th Movement. Paul will be represent-ing B.C. this sum-mer in Halifax at the National Piano Com-petition.

He hails from Abbotsford where he is the accompanist for the Youth Orchestra of the same name. He

has also performed the third Movement of Rachmaninoff ’s Con-certo No. 2 with the Fraser Valley Sym-phony Orchestra. His resume also includes performing Chopin’s, Winter Wind in the 2011 Songs, Strings and Steps Concert with fellow pianist Josh Herrett.

Williamson is one of six Canadian pianists who participated in an International Music Programme called Morningside Music Bridge, held at Mount

Royal University. If his talent at the piano were not impressive enough, he is also an accomplished cellist. He studies cello at the Langley Commu-nity Music School , plays in a variety of chamber ensembles, and is a cellist with the Abbotsford Youth Orchestra.

As busy as his musi-cal endeavours make him, he still finds time for soccer,swimming, reading composing, and spending time with his friends .

Some of the Reper-toire you will be enjoy-ing at the concert includes Kuzmenko’s ‘In Memoriam to the Victims of Cher-nobyl’; Beethoven’s Sonata No 26 Op 81a ‘Les Adieux’; Chopin’s ‘Heroic Polonaise Op 53’; and Rachmani-noff ’s Sonata No 2 Op 36’

Opening for William-son will be Cindy Tay-lor’s student, Torin Halvorson. Last year, Halvorson won the Marie Josephine Rich-ards Award given to a

student in grades six to eight by the Comox Valley Piano Society. He was invited as an observer to the Provincial Invita-tional Festival as well last year. His fifteen minute programme will include Bartok’s ‘Swineherd’s Dance’; a Chopin Waltz, and an A. Louie’s ‘Moonlight Toccata’.

For more informa-tion, please contact Sonia Hauser @ 250-923-2212. A reception will follow the con-cert.

Staf f at the BC Salmon Farmers Asso-ciation are opening their heart, but clos-ing their closet, for the third annual Five Easy Pieces for Heart and Stroke fundraiser.

The fundraiser will challenge each staff member at the BCSFA to take on wearing just five pieces of clothing to work for the month of April, with the goal of raising $5,000 for the Heart and Stroke Foun-dation.

“We love helping the Heart and Stroke Foundation – even if we don’t love the idea of wearing the same outfits for a month straight,” said Col-leen Dane, Communi-cations Manager of the BCSFA. “We do it because we know it’s a small inconvenience compared to the chal-lenges faced by those battling heart health challenges.”

Staff at the BCSFA has already raised about $11,000 over the last two years through this month-long event– and they’re looking forward to growing that total with added fundraisers this year.

The month’s events coincide with the foun-dation’s Heart Truth events which encour-

age healthy lifestyle choices to reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke.

“Increasing your con-sumption of salmon reduces the risk of heart disease and

stroke significantly – our members are proud that they’re producing such a nutritious food, and we’re happy to help share that message,” said Mary Ellen Wall-ing, Executive Director of the BCSFA.

Along with sup-porting the challenge participants by mak-ing pledges, members of the public can get involved by donating clothing and attending the wrap up Clothing Swap (by donation) or by purchasing a Spread the Love seed packet for $5 each. To find out more, phone (250) 286-1636 x0.

Anyone is welcome to join the challenge and can learn more by emailing [email protected].

The BCSFA repre-sents salmon farm companies and those who supply services and supplies to the industry. Salmon-farm-ing provides for 6,000 direct and indirect jobs while contribut-ing $800-million to the provincial economy each year.

With spring in the air, members of the BraveHearts dragon boat team has launched their boat as they pre-pare for another sea-son.

Paddling from the Coril Air dock on the Spit, the team can be seen practising each Tuesday and Thurs-day evening from now until late September. Nationally recognised as the first mixed can-cer survivor dragon boat in Canada, the team welcomes new members whether they are cancer survivors, their families and sup-porters or others who have been touched by this disease.

This year the team will be participating in festivals around the North Island, starting with the Race the River Regatta in Campbell River on June 29.

This event is co-hosted by the River Spirit Dragon Boat Team and Brave-Hearts. Other festivals include those in Port Hardy, Comox and Port Alberni together with the Discovery Passage passage event which annually sees a flotilla of boats plying the water between Camp-bell River and Cape Mudge.

Over the years, BraveHearts have been the recipients of many

acts of generosity from Campbell River busi-nesses and residents. In return, members like to pay back and during the past few months

have assisted with many different activi-ties including helping the Knights of Colum-bus with their annual hamper fund; assist-

ing the Royal Cana-dian Legion branch with its Burns Night Supper and clearing away brush and gar-bage from around the

Coril Air property in appreciation of their ongoing support. Each year the members also assist with the Relay for Life, Cops for Can-cer and the Terry Fox Run.

In a special ceremony earlier this year, Brave-Hearts were pleased to present a cash dona-tion to the West Coast Prostate Awareness Society in memory of Al Hodgkinson, who founded the society back in 1994. Hodg-kinson, who passed away in January, was a pioneer in the treat-ment now widely used for all prostate cancer victims.

Tentatively sched-

uled for May 4 this year, the annual Brave-Hearts Open House will be held at Dick Murphy Park where newcomers to the sport will have the opportu-nity to try out their skills. Dragon boating is open to all ages and abilities.

It is a fun-filled activ-ity bringing together people from diverse backgrounds and is one of the finest exam-ples of the healthy life style being so actively sought today.

If you would like to learn more about dragon boating and BraveHearts, please call Linda Stopa at 778-420-0805.

Join Bravehearts for another season on the water

You can get on board the Bravehearts’ dragon boat. The team welcomes new

members.

WEALICK, Lawrence SteveMarch 18, 1947 – March 23, 2013

Passed away in Campbell River, on March 23, 2013. Lorne was predeceased by his mother, Dorothy, father, Solomon, brothers; Eddie, Norman, Henry and Gerald and sisters; June and Doris. Lorne is survived by his sons Matthew (Krista) of Chilliwack, BC and Steven (Cynthia) of Castlegar, BC and grandchildren; Bridger and Jairdan. Lorne was a logger from 1968 to 2002 out of the Kelsey Bay Division. Lorne enjoyed and took pride in his job on the rigging and at the sort. He made many good long term friends among his fellow workers.Lorne was an avid fi sherman, enjoying every minute he could on the straits outside of Kelsey Bay. He loved being on the water fi shing or just beachcombing the local beaches with his two boys Matt and Steven. Lorne also enjoyed nature and would enjoy just driving the back roads to pass the time. Lorne was a loving father and good provider to his sons. He was someone who was always willing to help a person in need. Lorne had a quirky sense of humour and was always able to put a smile on your face. Lorne was a true story teller and was always willing to tell a story to those who would listen. Lorne was loved, respected and he will be missed.Flowers gratefully declined, for those wishing donations may be made in Lorne’s memory to the Learning Disability Association of BC, (for kids with learning disabilities), Suite 513, 6360 137th Street, Surrey, BC, V3W 1A3, or at www.ldabc.ca or www.canadahelps.org.

Cherished wife (68 years) of Harold Richard Hunt (Dick) and mother to Joy Midtdal (Sid), Rob (Wendy Cole), Gail (Doug

Baker) and Tim (Elaine). Huggy Grandma to Graham, Brendan, Emery, Rafferty, Rachel, Robin, Liam, Derick, Elliott, Tess and

Nathan. Great Grandma to Scott and Brody.

Ruth’s heart may have failed, but not from lack of love given and received. Dick walked with his sweetheart every day, expressing his love for her. Ruth’s diminished faculties did

not limit her capacity to sing hymns and recite prayers, or to tell everyone she met on her rambles around Holyrood Manor, “I love you.” She is missed for her uncommon cheerfulness.

Ruth’s life was one of service, fi rst as a rancher’s wife, then a minister’s when her rancher entered the priesthood. She was our hard-working resourceful model of thriftiness and organization – she could feed a household of 14 on a chunk of bologna, or fi nd space in the car trunk for one more air

mattress for a holiday. Wherever she lived, she grew a garden fi lled with beauty and nutrition. Roses were her favourites.

Right now Ruth is likely telling her hairdresser in heaven that she loves her.

Strathcona Nordics racers brought hardware back to the Island from the Cross Country Ski Nationals in Whistler Olympic Park.

Andrea Lee of Black Creek picked up two golds and Avalon Wasteneys of Campbell River brought home a bronze.

Lee, who now trains at the National Develop-ment Centre in Thunder Bay and additionally skis for the Lakehead University team where she is currently studying, picked up a gold in team sprints and a gold in the five kilometre skate.

Members of the Strathcona Nordics were thrilled to see their clubmate race and win in the university series.

Wasteneys won a bronze in the classic sprints, persisting through a fiercely competitive field of 75 juvenile racers in the quarter, semi, and final heats.

“Avalon has incredible natural ability,” says head coach Dave Battison says. “She took all her training, all the things we’ve been working on, and she executed them perfectly.”

When the team learned that Wasteneys was moving into the heats, Coach Battison declared, “We’re going to the show!” as he dug deep into his wax arsenal.

Across the five race events, all 17 members of the team enjoyed shining moments and many personal best races. The young team looks for-ward to a bright future racing at provincial and national levels.

The Strathcona Nordics are now preparing for the 31st Annual Vancouver Island Loppet on April 13. For more information and to register see the website. StrathconaNordics.com

Savannah Wasden of the Campbell River Skat-ing Club set a goal this year to be the best and shehas done just that.

Wasden is the current reigning ProvincialSenior Bronze Ladies Figure Skating Champion,winning the title in Kelowna in early March.

Not only was she the competition winner, Was-den compiled the most points throughout theskating year which made her the BC Super SeriesOverall Senior Bronze Winner as well.

Hard work and many hours on the ice paid offfor Wasden as she is on the ice every weekday.

She also takes a dance, stretch/flexibility andstrength class three times a week. Everythingwas re-evaluated this season and more time wasmade for her to get her training done here withher coach Jannine Ranniger at the CampbellRiver Skating Club.

Skating at home has been a big boost to herenjoyment of skating and upped her confidencelevel which has really showed in her perfor-mances.

Campbell River’s Savannah Wasden is the top seniorbronze figure skater in B.C.

Andrea Lee of Black Creek wins two gold while young, local skier earns a bronze

After finishing second on Vancouver Island to the Peninsula Panthers in league playoffs, the bantam Hurricanes female team headed over to the Richmond Ice Classic Tournament to wrap up the season.

The team had a tough schedule with several early morning draws, some challenging games and the girls came out with a winning spirit for each and every game.

The first game Friday had them playing Juan de Fuca. The game started off a bit slow, but with the hard work of Kylie Scammell, who scored a hat trick, the team came alive in the second and third periods.

Hayley Hunter, Lisa Lloyd and Julia Mer-cer added single goals for 6-1 win. Lloyd was named the MVP for the game for her tough defensive play and for creatingscoring oppor-tunities.

On Saturday morn-ing the team played a peewee AAA team from Richmond which was playing in the Ban-tam C as there was no division for them in the tournament.

T h e H u r r i c a n e s opened the scoring in the first with a hard

slap shot from Hunter but that would be all the Campbell River team could produce. The team got into pen-alty trouble in the sec-ond and third period against the very physi-cal but smaller Rich-mond side.

This produced two power play goals for R i c h m o n d w h i c h capped off the third with an empty net goal for a 3-1 win.

Cassidy Bellavance was the Hurricane’s MVP for this game for her tenacity both on the forward and defensive lines. Jadylin Spooner

played incredible in net, making save after save as the Hurricanes played shorthanded for much of the second and third periods.

The second game of the day was against Chilliwack. The defen-sive line of Maya Cramb, Vanessa Dunn, Alyssa Palmer, Bel-lavance and Lloyd helped earn Spooner the shutout in the 2-0 victory. Lloyd scored both goals with one assist going to Cramb. Hunter was named the MVP.

Early Sunday morn-ing would have the

Campbell River squad face the hometown Richmond Ravens. This was a must-win game for Campbell River while Ravens were undefeated.

The pressure could be felt on both sides of the arena. The first period ended scoreless, as both teams battled fiercely.

The line of Carissa Jochimski, Rylee Nel-son and Kate Johnson had several scoring opportunities but the Raven’s goalie came up big every time. Finally, late in the sec-ond period, Callie Ann Masse nailed a slap shot through the posts to put the Hurricanes up by one. Scammell would add a second goal at the start of the third.

T h e H u r r i c a n e s won the game 2-1 and advanced to the final. Scammell earned the game MVP for her game-winning goal.

The final would set the Hurricane girls up against the same pee-wee squad they lost to earlier. Richmond took an early 1-0 and then held on as the Hurri-canes cranked up the offence.

However, the Rich-mond goalie stood strong and an empty net goal late in the match sealed a 2-0 vic-tory.

The Campbell River Curling Club wraped up the season with 24 teams playing in the North Island Co-op Gas Bar Mixed Open.

The A event, sponsored by ABL Electric, was an incredible game that went an extra end to deter-mine that it was the Wayne Harris rink to raise the trophy beating out Randy Veitch, both from the Comox Valley.

The B event, sponsored by KLP Construction, saw two Campbell RIver rinks battle it out.

In the end it was won by the Dean Thulin Rink, playing with third D’Arcy Cato, second Don Barnowski and lead Gayle Bar-nowski.

The opposition team skipped by Nicole McCurrie playing with her brother Clayton and parents Sha-ron and Kevin McCurrie play in the event every year as a family.

The C event, sponsored by Pio-neer Home Hardware, was won by

the Ray Michell rink of the Comox Valley with third Melanie Rait, second Jade Jensen and lead Mare Michell.

The beat out Campbell River’s Gary Labbe rink with third Mar-garet Walker, second Tom Green and lead Yvette Green.

The D event, sponsored by theCampbell River Curling Club, was won by longtime member Ed Schmuland who is no stranger to winning curling events.

Ed skipped with Susanne Grundi-son playing third, Paul Man-sueto playing second and Jonelle Knowles playing lead.

Club manager Susan Johnson, along with event chairs John LaPointe and Kevin May, would like to send a huge thank-you to Jim Clarkson, the manager of the Co-op Gas Bar for coming in and being a major sponsor and sup-porting the Campbell River Curl-ing Club.

retired from reffing the big boys, Fraser was in Campbell River on Monday night to officiate the charity hockey match between the NHL Oldtimers and the

local Law Enforcement club. The undermanned Law Enforcement team weren’t much of a match for the Oldtimers which included Hall of Famers Bryan Trot-

tier and Glenn Anderson. Even a couple lopsided trades didn’t help the Cops who fell 17-12...or something like that. See more photos on Page A31.

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRRORFIRST ISSUE 1971


The city is forecasting a $3.6 million budget shortfall for 2012, according to preliminary fig-

ures.That’s up substantially from the last estimated budget deficit of $550,000 back in December.The picture looks bleaker now because of a change in the prop-

erty assessment value of the defunct Catalyst mill site. The BC Assessment Authority announced early last month that Catalyst no longer meets the requirements of a major industrial property, and

has been reclassified as business/other, which means a significant reduction in Catalyst’s property taxes.That decision results in a loss of $1.8 million in tax revenue for

2012. Included in the deficit is a $1.1 million tax shortfall carried over from 2011, plus a $1.3 million increase in costs related to con-tract commitments and inflation-ary increases, said Laura Ciarn-iello, the city’s general manager of corporate services.If the city were to maintainthe current level of services it provides to citizens, the tax rate would have to increase by 24 per cent in order to make up the $3.6 million.

The loss of $1.8 million fromCatalyst alone, equates to a 12 per cent residential tax increase.To put that into perspective, Ciarniello said a one per cent res-idential tax increase would bring in $150,000 in revenue for the city. That one per cent increase would mean roughly $12 more per year in property taxes for the average homeowner.

The city’s operating budget isapproximately $37 million which

What’s a few extra goodies, a day early, eh?It was an Easter extravaganza on Saturday in downtown Campbell River.Sponsored by the Downtown BIA, the day kicked off on the foreshore at Robert Ostler Park with hundreds of children taking part in the Easter Egg Hunt.The kids and their families then strolled in the sunshine to the downtown Spirit Square where there was live entertainment, face painting, kids’ activities, a petting zoo and lots of great food.The Easter Bunny was also there for photos withproceeds benefi ting the Head Injury Support Society. And proceeds from the Grieg Seafood salmon barbecue are helping the Campbell River Killer Whales swim team.
