Taxpayers hoping for council to reverse its decision on a tax hike will likely be in for disappoint-

ment as councillors who voted in favour of the 13.6 increase are standing by their decision.

More than 100 Campbell Riveri-tes marched from Robert Ostler Park to city hall protesting the

residential tax increase before last week’s council meeting.

More than 130 packed council chambers to listen in on the meet-ing.

Taxpayers on the Campbell

River Tax Revolt Facebook page say they plan to come out in even larger numbers this coming Tues-day – when council is expected to give first three readings to the budget – to have their voices heard and sway councillors who voted for the tax increase.

Councillors Ryan Mennie, Claire Moglove, Mary Storry and Larry Samson voted in favour while Mayor Walter Jakeway and councillors Andy Adams and Ron Kerr were opposed.

It doesn’t look like that will change.

Mennie said he could appreci-ate that people came to the meet-ing to have their voices heard but he hasn’t changed his mind.

“It certainly was heard,” Men-nie said. “While I appreciate them coming forward and giving their perspective, my perspec-tive hasn’t changed. I appreciate the community dialogue and it’s never been the intention of coun-cil to stifle that dialogue but I still think I represent a large part of the community with my perspec-tive.”

Mennie also noted it wasn’t a “snap decision” but based on extensive information from the community as well as from this year’s and last year’s budget cycles.

Mayor Jakeway said last week he was confident taxpayers could change council’s decision on the 13.6 per cent (7.1 per cent after reduced user fees are factored in) residential tax increase.

“I don’t have any doubt at all, if they respond en masse,” Jakeway said. “It just takes one vote and it becomes 4-3 (the other way).”

But the chances of that happen-ing now look pretty slim.

Coun. Storry said she confi-dently voted in favour of the tax increase because of the lengthy discussions council and city staff have had during the budget cre-ation process.

“The only reason I would re-consider anything is if new infor-mation was brought to council,” Storry said. “It would have to be something that was missed dur-ing the debate or incorrect infor-mation that I based my decision on.”

Coun. Samson said the same thing as Storry – no new informa-tion has come forward to change his mind.

“When you make a decision as serious as the budget that was voted on, unless there’s extenuat-ing circumstances, the vote that you take at that time, you nor-mally thought about it long and hard,” Samson said. “Having said that, I’m still talking with people who both agree with the budget

The former down-town “eyesore” is expected to be trans-formed into a new multi -storey head office for Seymour Pacific Developments.

“We are proud to share this news with the community, our staff, and our clients,” said company owner and founder Kris Mail-man in a news release. “I started the company here and even though we’ve grown nation-ally, I wanted to main-tain the head office in Campbell River.”

Demolition began Monday on the block of derelict buildings located directly across from Seymour’s cur-rent head office, a stone’s throw away from city hall.

The block of com-mercial buildings – on land bordered by Alder, Dubeau and Beech streets, and St. Ann’s Road – have been mostly empty for several years and were becoming decrepit.

The properties were recently bought by Seymour Pacific and Mailman wants to

build a four- to five-sto-rey head office for his growing team.

Over the last seven years, the company has grown from five people to over 250 employees across Western Can-ada. Head office has grown from five people to approximately 80 people.

According to com-pany CEO Sean Roy, Seymour Pacific has built approximately 3,000 rental units spread across West-ern Canada, which are managed by Broad-street Properties.

The company owns the building it is cur-rently in and look to either lease or sell the office space once the new building is com-plete. Roy said plans should be ready for the city by mid-May with an anticipated start date of Aug. 1.

T h e p r o j e c t i s expected to take a year to complete. The glass-clad building will be built to accom-modate current staff and potential future growth.

“It will set the tone for new construction in downtown Campbell River,” said Roy. “This

is absolutely needed for us…we’re very excited to get into our new office space.”

The company founder is also happy to remain in the city.

“This has been a great community for myself and my fam-ily,” Mailman said. “In some ways this is a monument to the fact that you can do busi-ness in Campbell River. This is a positive move for us as a company and for the downtown as well.”

Plans call for offices incorporating approxi-mately 40,000 to 50,000 square feet.

E n e r g y - e f f i c i e n t LEED standards are being incorporated into the design and it is anticipated that the new building will enhance public spaces with improved side-walks, lighting and innovative landscap-ing.

“We were looking at a number of locations in Campbell River and were of the opin-ion that we wanted to remain downtown,” said Sean Roy, CEO of Seymour Pacific Developments and Broadstreet Proper-

ties. “The opportunity presented itself and we are pleased to help revitalize the down-town core.

“The City of Camp-bell River is open for business and they have been great to work with during the process.”

The company antici-pates that demolition will be completed by the end of April.

and who disagree with the budget.”

Samson pointed out that council is done with service cuts and has already taken money from reserves to balance a $3.6 mil-lion deficit. The tax increase was the third option.

“To re-visit the bud-

get – where would we go from here?” Sam-son said. “But having said all this, we’re con-stantly looking at bud-get deficiencies.”

Coun. Moglove, the fourth councillor to vote in favour of the tax increase, was not available for comment but a few days after the March 27 vote, took

exception to the mayor advocating for a tax revolt and not support-ing council’s decision.

“I’m concerned,” she said. “Once council has made a decision, it is the mayor’s duty and responsibility to speak in support of that majority decision. The mayor is the spokes-person for council and

as such, the comments attributed to him are very disappointing.”

Moglove also advo-cated for a tax increase over cuts to the existing level of city services.

If council passes first three readings of the budget bylaw on Tues-day night, the budget is expected to be adopted on May 1.

E x p a n d i n g t h e Comox Valley dump, and closing Campbell River’s, is the cheap-est option for dealing with the region’s solid waste, says a waste consultant.

The Comox Strath-cona Waste Manage-ment Board has been working to update its solid waste plan for nearly two years.

Three shortlisted options have emerged from the process. The board is considering either expanding both Comox Valley and Campbell River land-fills, or expanding one of the two.

Maura Walker, the consultant working on the solid waste man-agement plan, said expanding just the Campbell River land-fill, which is nearing capacity, is the most expensive option at $71

per tonne.“ E x p a n d i n g t h e

Comox Valley landfill option becomes the least costly because it requires less transport than the other option,” Walker told city coun-cil at last week’s Tues-day meeting.

An expansion to the Comox Valley dump comes with a price tag of $62 per tonne while expanding both dumps would be slightly more, at $68 per tonne.

Walker said the Campbell River land-fill serves 45,000 people and processes 30,000 tonnes of waste each year. The dump is rap-idly running out of space and is expected to be full by this fall. A transfer station has been built to accommo-date the waste, which is then trucked to the Pigeon Lake landfill in Cumberland.

The Pigeon Lake landfill serves 68,000 people and receives

40,000 tonnes of waste each year. Walker said there is approximately four to six years left until it’s expected to reach its full capacity.

Todd Baker, an engi-neer with consulting group AECOM, said the Campbell River dump could poten-tially be expanded to the north east which would allow for 40-50 more years of use.

However, a new dump would have to be built next to the existing one with a liner to treat leachate, a potentially toxic liquid.

“We know if one or both of the facilities are to expand, it will require upgrades...to be in compliance with the Ministry of Envi-ronment’s criteria,” Baker said.

Improvements would include an engineered system for leachate treatment, landfill gas management and a membrane that would

cover the landfill to ensure no air or water escapes from the site.

The Solid Waste Man-agement Board has also looked at developing waste-to-energy tech-nologies, and moving away from traditional landfills.

Baker said vendors have provided costs for those technolo-gies and the board has determined the cost of a small scale facility would be more expen-sive than expanding one or two landfills.

A small burn facil-ity in the Comox Val-ley would cost $143 per tonne while a large scale facility in Camp-bell River would cost $88 per tonne.

But the region does not produce enough waste to run a large-scale facility, said Baker.

“To be cost effective, waste from the outside would be required,” he said. “Waste from

the Lower Mainland would be required to keep costs down. We will continue exploring with outside regions such as Metro Vancou-ver.”

Walker said the Solid Waste Management Board is in the pro-cess of gathering com-munity input into the solid waste plan, and, out of 14 scheduled open houses through-out the region, 11 of them are complete.

“We’re sort of at the preliminary stage as to what we’re going to do moving forward and we want public input,” Walker said. “We’re really trying to get the word out.”

Once the final plan is compiled, it has to be sent to the provincial minister of environ-ment for approval.

The Solid Waste Management Plan is expected to be imple-mented between 2012 and 2022.

Is it better to appoint one Executor or twoCo-Executors?

Both options have advantages and disadvantages. If you appoint Co-Executors it may work well if both Executors cooperate with each other, contribute their knowledge and support the dif cult decision making. Many of my clients have commented that this option worked well for them. However, if the Co-Executors don’t like each other, don’t communicate well, or have personality issues, then it could cause delays and be costly for the estate. Appointing one suitable Executor is the most commonly used option. Under this option, your sole Executor will be responsible for making all decisions on behalf of your estate. The decisions can be made quickly without the necessity of having other people agree to them. The disadvantage of appointing only one Executor may be if you do want to appoint your children as your Executors, but none of them are fully suitable. Further, he/she may not communicate with the bene ciaries, causing disputes in the family. The decision to appoint a sole Executor or Co-Executors depends on the capabilities of the individuals you are considering as Executor.

Mayor Walter Jake-way says he’s still in the dark over expected RCMP pay raises.

Jakeway said he was aware the RCMP con-tract was up for nego-tiation with the federal government, but hasn’t received any new infor-mation since.

The B.C. government signed a new 20-year RCMP contract on March 21, which put an end to the province’s threat to terminate the Mounties and form a provincial police force, similar to Ontario.

However, munici-palities must ratify the new agreement or give two year’s notice of withdrawal from the

RCMP and either form its own police force or partner with another community’s munici-pal force.

Several cities have signed on already but Campbell River isn’t one of them.

“I wouldn’t sign it until I find out how it affects us,” Jakeway said. “We knew some-thing was coming but

we didn’t know if a raise was coming or not. Me personally, I can be ready for it.

“I don’t think we’re in a position to form our own police force.”

Public Safety Min-ister Vic Toews said cities were advised months ago that raises of 1.5 per cent were possible this year but neither the province

nor cities were for-mally notified of the details of the compen-sation package.

Jakeway said he would support a pay raise.

“I think they deserve a pay raise,” Jakeway said. “They’re way overdue. I think it’s been about six years – it’s pathetic. I don’t have a problem pay-

ing them more, they deserve it. We need the RCMP. It’s like having a doctor doing surgery. We want him to be fully content with his pay.”

Coun. Larry Samson, a former fire chief, said he believes the RCMP could be awarded a lofty pay increase.

“The RCMP are cur-rently in the courts right now over the wage freeze,” Samson said. “It could be a sig-nificant wage increase for them.”

And he said with Campbell River having 43 members, the RCMP budget is the largest in the city.

“It quickly adds up,” he said, but added “the RCMP provide an excellent service.

“Public safety is number one.”

Municipalities still could get a break.

B.C. Justice Minister Shirley Bond said the federal government has assured her that RCMP administrative savings of $195 million will partly be allocated to cities and could off-set the pay raises, and possibly even lower their costs.

Jakeway said the city will easily be able to absorb the RCMP budget and expects the issue to come before council in the next couple of weeks.

“It’ll be fun to watch,” he said.

Hepatitis A drop-in immunization clinics will be held on Vancou-ver Island for people who have consumed Western Family brand Pomeberry Blend fro-zen berries in the past 14 days.

This follows a health alert issued by the BC Centre for Dis-ease Control and a product recall. The

product was distrib-uted through Save-on-Foods and Overwaitea food stores in British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario and may also have been distributed to other provinces.

In Campbell River, drop-in immunization clinics will be held at the Campbell River Health Unit located at 200-1100 Island Hwy.:

■ Today, April 13, from 12-3 p.m.■ Saturday, April 14,

2-5 p.m.If you can’t attend

these clinics and need information about how to obtain the vaccine, contact your local Pub-lic Health Unit.

The overall risk to the public is very low. If people consumed uncooked Pomeberry

frozen fruit within the past 14 days and have not previously received two doses of hepatitis A vaccine or have already had hepa-titis A disease they are eligible to receive hep-atitis A vaccine.

This does not apply to other berries or juice blends purchased from Save-On-Foods or Over-waitea food stores.

Spanish Matador Trio RedTempranillo are deep blue-black berries, high in colour and extract, with delicate aromas. Cabernet Sauvignon’s small berries yield high tannins and intense structure, while Monastrell adds grip, earthiness and ripe red fruit. Lush, tannic and complex, with intense black fruit fl avours of black cherry, raspberry, black currant and notes of plums and tobacco, the wine takes gracefully to oak, adding layers of vanilla, cedar and rich coffee nuances.

EDITOR: Alistair [email protected]

The Conservative government’s reputation for sound economic management is taking a big hit with revelations from the auditor-general about the

process used to obtain F-35 fighter jets. The new jets were known to cost about $25 billion, even before the last election. Yet the government and Conservative candidates consistently said the cost would be $14.7 billion.

This was based on figures from the defence department, which

was given far too much sway in selecting the new jets. It is obvious that they were the department’s preference, and everything it did was designed to get

the government to go along.That’s where the Conservatives fell down. Whether

it’s because the party has a stronger interest in defence issues than its Liberal predecessor, or because the ministers involved were relatively new to office (many of the decisions go back to 2006, the year the Conservatives took office), not enough tough questions were asked. Costs kept rising, and it is quite likely that the Conservative caucus had no knowledge of how quickly costs were jumping.

It appears from Auditor-General Michael Ferguson’s report that at least some members of cabinet did know, and they should have blown the whistle when it became clear that costs were going

up astronomically. To the government’s credit, it has now frozen spending on the fighter jet replacement program and has promised to be more accountable about decisions on the jets. It has also said it will be more diligent when making future decisions.

Members of cabinet who make decisions about government spending need to treat every decision as if it was their own money. Taxpayers are paying plenty of their hard-earned income to the federal government, and their money should not be wasted because one department is able to hijack the procurement process. Just because government is big is no reason it can’t spend wisely.

That sucking and swishing is our wine-loving logger

We say: Being more accountable is the least they could do

The stillness of the lush spring morning was obliterated by the ear-splitting sound of a sucking vortex.

The city vacuum truck was no where in sight, but the roar contin-ued as if someone had a fired up a jet engine in downtown Campbell River.

I watched as the whirlwind pulled a baby stroller from the firm grip of a mother as it went wheeling across Spirit Square at tremendous speed with the child yelling, “Whe-e-e-e-e-e-e-e...”

From the other side of Shoppers Row, a small dog was yanked straight out of its collar. It continued yapping as it tumbled across the intersection until stopped with a thunk at the base of Big Logger Mike’s pole.

Little Fido might have been sucked

straight up the spar too, but the vor-tex suddenly halted and was replaced by washing machine-like swishing sound.

It all came to an end with an almighty “gulp” followed by a satis-fied “Ahh, ya!”

“You’re not drinking mouthwash again for that cheap buzz?” I inquired of Logger Mike.

“Hardly,” he replied with an egotis-tical sneer. “I was just sampling the 2011 Siegerrebe...delicately acidic, not overly fruity and with a lush complexity not typically found in relatively young Island wines...”

His voice tailed off as he scribbled some more in his book of tasting notes.

I was too surprised to even respond,

but then I got thinking, “Where did you score that?”

“From the Wine Islands Vintners Association fourth annual tast-ing in the Crystal Ballroom at the Empress,” he responded with a sniff. “I think the wine maker at Starling Lane Winery did a remarkable job with this varietal.”

I couldn’t believe what I was hear-ing from our Lucky-sucking man on the pole. Then I thought back some more.

“Hey, I was at that tasting and I don’t recall seeing an eight-foot-tall, all-yellow man with an axe,” I said.

He smiled knowingly, “I’m pretty good at disguises. You probably didn’t see me at North Island College’s Third Course Wine Festival either.”

I shook my head in amazement.“So, when did you start drinking

wine?” I asked.“When you weren’t even a glimmer

in the old man’s eye,” he said with a wink.

“But I’ve only seen you drink beer,” I replied.

“Well, yes, while I do enjoy a good brewski, I prefer to support our Island wine makers. They do good,” he said, as he hoisted his glass and gave it a swirl.

He stopped, took another sip and then the sucking began again as he imbibed in the ritual of proper tast-ing. The dog ran, the woman and her baby fled, and I just managed to slam the truck door closed before the roof started flying off city hall.

It is time to stand up and celebrate Campbell River. My husband and I moved here twelve years ago and are delighted to say we are staying here in retirement. This community is welcoming and cosmopolitan.

Recently we purchased a patio home at Willow Green and have had the pleasure of working with local real-tors (Ted and Terri), developer (Nigel and Carolyn with NVH), trades-people and businesses (Denise and Sheri at Denise Mitchell Interiors; Kathy at Splashes; Stan and Karen at Trendwest; Larry at Madman McKay; Don at Van Isle; Andrew, electrician; Shane, Gloria, and Corrine at United Carpet, and Stacey at Ladybug Land-scape Design). Everyone has treated us with respect and worked hard to make our move to our new home successful. It has been an amazing experience and a pleasure to invest back in the community we believe in.

Like the local businesses, I trust our mayor and coun-cil are also working to make Campbell River a great place to live in. They have a mandate to show vision and thoughtful planning for the future of our wonder-ful community. I place trust in them to respectfully

work together to do just that. Unfortunately Mayor Jakeway’s response and

actions regarding the budget and tax increase demonstrate disrespect for our community. This comment is not in response with how he voted on the budget, but rather the disrespect he demon-strated once the Finance Committee voted. If he had said he wanted it on the record that he was not in agreement with the decision that would have been one thing. To say the public is being screwed is quite another. He is directly refer-ring to his fellow council members and that is unconscionable. To say that he does not follow the rules is troubling. For those that support this man’s actions I ask, what happens when he bowls over an issue you support with his steam-roller style? What if no-one followed the rules?

Mayor Jakeway’s comments reflect the view that he is right and the rest of the team’s view is worth naught. Like a truculent child, Mayor Jakeway had a major temper tantrum. This is unbecoming of our mayor and does not bode well for future leadership. We need thoughtful and measured response, council who listens to the community, and a mayor and councillors who support decisions of the whole. I challenge Mayor Jakeway to do this in the future.

I am one of the 92 per cent, as reported in the newspaper poll, supporting council’s Finance Committee’s approval regarding the overall 7.1 per cent tax increase for Campbell River. We no longer have a mill to offset taxes and I am proud to be a member of a community who pulls together and accepts responsibility for building a sustainable future.

‘Unconscionable’I’ve just read the critique of our

Mayor by the Reverend David Fitz-simmons. His comment on percent-age of votes is really off the wall.

I read lot of news through my Yahoo email account, and the luna-tic fringe from the Liberal and NDP supporters that can’t fathom Mr. Harper having won a majority, sit down, one after another and start throwing around percentages.

The funny part of all that is had

their pet politician won by that same amount they would not be bothered in the least.

There is nothing new about a can-didate winning a muliti-candidate election with more that two people contesting. It happens all the time and is part of the political process.

The election is over, Mr. Jakeway is our mayor - live with it.

I read with great concern that Council has taken the first of three steps to approve electric cars for use on city streets.

I have many concerns for the safety of their operators and occu-pants and that of other road users in our city. This concern is also shared by Transport Canada on their web-site. To quote: “Transport Canada does not encourage the use of LSVs on public roads, since they since they are not required to provide the same level of safety as mainstream vehicles.”

To ensure a suitable level of safety, a passenger car maker has to design, manufacture and test for up to forty safety standards, whereas a LSV manufacturer is required to meet

only three minimal safety require-ments. This is far fewer than for any other vehicle class that is regulated under the MVSA.

Note: LSV safety standards do not match the safety standards of conventional larger, heavier motor vehicle classes that travel our pub-lic roads. This poses a real threat to people inside LSVs, if they are oper-ated on public roads.

There are no crash studies made on these vehicles, no air bags, no crumple zones, no padded areas, no construction standards that require them to meet any sort of realistic safety and construction standards. One could only imagine what would happen to the occupants of even a 10

kmh collision when it hits one of our signature diesel pickups with logger box and a tidy tank full of fuel in the back.

Campbell Rivers already know how well the Electric bicycles have integrated with our traffic flow. It’s hardly a pleasure to encounter them riding 20 kmh in traffic and their users seem to, by in large, ignore the traffic laws.

If council approves the electric cars, we will now add a vehicle with a maximum speed of 40 kmh to areas like Dogwood, Alder, Rockland and Galerno with their hills.

We will have permitted another

“rock in the stream” around which other road users will have to flow.

If these vehicles had a traditional fossil-fuel engine they would not be permitted on any road because they lack the required existing safety features. Because they have a slow speed electric motor, all the safety standards that save lives in the other vehicles on the road, are waived in the name of Environ-mentalism.

I suggest that Council do some more research before they take the next step. Would you feel that your family is safe riding in one of these?

Quadra Emergency Program with support from Emergency Sup-port Services groups from Cape Mudge, Campbell River, Comox Valley and Strathcona Regional District, is hosting a Workshop, Friday through Sun-day at Tsa-Kwa-Luten Lodge at Cape Mudge.

Quadra Fire Depart-ment, Quadra RCMP and Quadra Ambu-lance personnel are also taking part.

E m e r g e n cy P r e -

paredness Planning in smaller communi-ties is typically led by volunteers from fire departments or other first responder groups. Vancouver Island com-munities vary in the degree of preparedness and in what they per-ceive as the scenario most likely to occur. Getting these varied groups together to update planning prac-tices will be beneficial to all.

The workshop is aimed at increasing the emergency prepared-ness planning knowl-edge base of attendees through awareness of what resources are available on Vancouver Island , how to access

them and through networking learn-ing of the successes and failures of other emergency planning groups.

To keep workshop costs to a minimum, Quadra Emergency Program volunteers have raised over $20,000 including grants from BC Hydro – $7500 and Coastal Community Credit Union – $5,000, Strathcona Regional District, Vancouver Island Emergency Preparedness Confer-ence Society and the Provincial Emergency Program. Many local Quadra Island and Campbell River busi-nesses and organiza-tions have also contrib-

uted financially and in kind.

Workshop planners hope that with the update to BCERMS, Emergency Support Services Reception Centre planning, and input from EMBC/PEP, Mobile Support Team, Red Cross, Sal-vation Army, VIHA, Aboriginal Affairs, FNESS, CR SAR, and Police Victims Services through special pre-sentations, informa-tion booths, the round table discussions, and the planned network-ing, that they can pro-vide Need to Know material to attendees, to help improve Emer-gency Preparedness island Wide.

Availability of skilled per-sonnel is one

of the most urgent challenges faced by many businesses.

Lack of available skilled personnel poses many problems for employers: the cost of hiring and train-ing employees; the knowledge gap created when senior employ-ees retire and newer employees are hired to fill the jobs; the prob-lems created when a company has too few staff; and other issues that affect a business’s productivity, innova-tion and profitability. Filling the talent pool with diverse employ-ees is one of the most effective ways to solve issues that arise from a labour shortage.

The Diversity Lives Here conference (May 9 and 10 in Camp-bell River) will help organizations on Vancouver Island find solutions to the many challenges presented by a lack of available, skilled personnel.

Diversity Lives Here provides solutions to the skilled labour shortage that will help employers main-tain their workforce while improving their bottom line. Diverse workforces increase innovation, productiv-ity and profitability in an organization. By attracting and retain-ing skilled personnel, businesses have fewer costs associated with high turnover rates and training expenses.

Furthermore, by

having a diverse tal-ent pool, an employer can access not only international markets but also international communities within the local market, open-ing an organization to new customers and clients.

“The Diversity Lives Here conference is about connecting with solutions in workforce development,” says Rachel Blaney, execu-tive director of the Immigrant Welcome Centre of Campbell River. “As we face a labour shortage, welcoming diverse people into business will bring new per-spectives and expand markets. Because we live in an increas-ingly global economy, having people in an organization who know multiple lan-

guages and cultural perspectives can open doors that were once closed.”

Diversity Lives Here brings together a wide range of talented speakers and experts in diverse labour markets, from various industries and back-grounds, to help local business and commu-nity leaders address issues associated with the shrinking domes-tic workforce. Work-shops will provide local organizations with vital informa-tion on the value of immigrant employees, credential evaluation, recruiting young pro-fessionals, the impact of retirees on the local economy and tips on hiring and retaining Aboriginal employees.

“A diverse work-force gives business

a competitive edge,” says Colleen Evans, executive director of the Campbell River Chamber of Commerce. “Many businesses are report-ing that increased diversity is becoming less about what they should do and more about who they are and what they have to do. Attracting and retaining the skilled workforce each busi-ness needs to compete means having enough people with the right skills, and the Diversity Lives Here conference is an excel-lent opportunity for businesses to address the skill gap and a shrinking domestic workforce.”

Diversity Lives Here takes place on May 9 and 10 in Campbell River.

ANYTHING IN THE STORE

National Volunteer Week is a special time set aside each spring to honour the volunteers who donate their time and energy to their fel-low citizens and non-profit organizations. It is also meant to raise awareness of the vital contribution vol-unteers make to shape our communities and

to the identity and val-ues of our country.

In recognition of that contribution, Vol-unteer Campbell River would like to invite you to celebrate with us during National Volunteer Week April 15-21.

On Mon., April 16 at 1 p.m., Volunteer Campbell River invites

volunteers and vol-unteer co-ordinators to a Proclamation of National Volunteer Week and flag raising with Mayor Walter Jakeway along with the opportunity to take part in a commu-nity “Faces of Volun-teerism” group photo at city hall. This will be followed by a free

lunch and volunteer appreciation cake to thank volunteers for the wonderful work they do.

Come on out, meet your neighbours and network with other volunteers as we cel-ebrate.

On Wed., April 18 from 9 a.m. – 12 p.m., Volunteer Campbell

River will host a sec-ond event in support of volunteerism with a “Best Practices for Successful Volunteer Engagement” work-shop facilitated by Marjorie Driscoll. This workshop will highlight: Strategies For Strong Volunteer Management and How To Grow Your Volun-

teer Program. This workshop is

ideal for volunteer co-ordinators, board members and staff working with volun-teers. Workshop fees are $35 for member agencies of Volunteer Campbell River, $50 for non-members.

To register for the workshop or for more

information call (250) 287-8111 or e-mail [email protected]

Volunteer Campbell River would like to thank our sponsors of National Volunteer Week events including long time supporters Investor’s Group and the City of Campbell River along with the Oyster Bay Resort.

PAUL RUDANCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Art Webb and his wife Diane Zaschke spent

a lot of time at the Campbell River Hospi-tal in the weeks lead-ing up to the death of their son Justin.

After a horrendous nine-month battle with brain cancer, Justin Webb, just 20 years old, died sud-denly on Sept. 4, 2011, just after he had been released from hospital to recover at home.

His passing devas-tated the family. But rather than continue to mourn and grieve, Webb and Zaschke have chosen to cel-ebrate Justin’s life and to give back to the community that was so giving to them dur-ing their time of need.

“It’s what Justin would have wanted,” says Zaschke, 56. “This was one tragic story. It was awful for us, but it hap-pens. That’s what we learned: Tragic things

happen every day and people need our help.”

Justin spent his days in hospital vir-tually paralyzed and confined to his bed on the third floor where his parents took daily shifts sitting by his side.

Now they’re back at the hospital, only this time they are seated at the table in the maternity lounge on the second floor. They’re here for the donation of two new delivery room carts to the maternity ward and they couldn’t be happier.

“These are going to get used all the time,” says Zaschke. “We’re thrilled good things are still being done in Justin’s name.”

At Justin’s Celebra-tion of Life service, the family asked that in lieu of flowers, friends should donate to Cameryn’s Cause for Kids, a local char-ity which provides assistance to family’s with sick children.

More than $2,000

came in and the money was used to buy the two new hos-pital-grade delivery room carts which cost approximately $2,600.

“They look like fur-niture and that’s what we want in maternity, a family-like atmo-sphere,” says RN Deb-bie Arkwright, the clinical co-ordinator for the maternity unit.

Webb, 67, says his son’s death was life-changing for he and his wife. They were amazed by the support and generosity Justin received throughout his illness, and now they say it’s time to “pay it forward.”

It started at Christ-mas time when they donated hours and hours to the Angel Tree project. That, says Webb, helped them get through the Christmas season without their son.

They also donated their time to cook for a local soup kitchen, and have started their own small landscap-ing company, affec-

tionately named “Just In Time.”

“We’re going to donate five per cent of our earnings to the cancer society. Granted, it won’t be a lot of money, but it’s a donation,” says Art.

In addition, they have formed a team for the annual Relay For Life fundraiser in June.

The team is called “Justin’s Journey” and they’re looking for team members to help raise money for the Canadian Cancer Society.

“It’s about the spirit of the community and the spirit of Justin,” says Zaschke. “(Art) and I don’t need any-thing. The one thing we need, we can’t get…the community helped Justin so much when he was ill, we can never thank them enough. We’re just try-ing to pay it forward.”

Peer counsellors needed

The Campbell River Senior Peer Counselling Program is seeking senior men and women aged 55 and over to train as Senior Peer Counselling Volunteers.

This program has been in existence since 2007, providing free, quality supportive peer counselling to men and women 55-plus by trained volunteers. The focus is on providing short term emotional support to older adults who may be dealing

with loss, life changes, isolation, health issues, or other problems. Senior Peer Volunteers receive comprehensive training in empathic listening and communication skills, emotional health and aging, grief and loss, as well as ongoing education regarding the wellness of older adults. They are supported by a coordinator and become part of an important team to help other seniors in the community.

A training program consisting of one full day a week for four weeks will start

in May. Interested men or women aged 55-plus who are compassionate and enjoy helping others are asked to consider volunteering. Training is free and required. The ongoing time commitment is between one and two hours a week, with two brief educational meetings per month.Interviews for new volunteers are required and will be held starting the first week of April. For information or to book an interview call 250-287-3044 or e-mail [email protected].

Spring is most definitely in the air, and along

with the fresh daffs and dills is a bit of news, regarding some-thing very special that started almost two years ago, here in our little city.

In October 2010, a jolly old fella, by the name of Bob Bull, tweeked a local quar-tet singer, to think about starting up an evening of old time gospel songs.

He said, “ Something in the line of Country, bluegrass, ol’ time Gospel greats, see what you can do.”

Well, what ensued, was something that caught on like wild-fire...igniting the Saturday night Gos-

pel singalongs, led by Steve Wray, and friends, including Corrina Kervin on bass, Mary Beddard Green on keyboards, Rob Beauchamp, on banjo, Floyd Lang on drums, and songsters Suzanne Lee and Shelly Wray, guitar and vocals. Now they are known as The River City Gospel Singers. Every month, folks from far and wide have come to enjoy a great and cozy time, singing so many of their favourite melodies, such as In the Garden, When the Saints..., I’ll Fly Away and many, more.

The evening is inter-spursed with specials by people from all over town.

Wray has said, “There’s nothing like good music, and a happy atmosphere, to bring folks together. You can’t find us on Youtube, or facebook, but imagine, a cozy place, where over a hundred folks each night, just kinda hang out and sing, together, those old and dear songs.”

We just hang our licence plates of denomination at the door, give you a hug and a handshake, and say come on in and set a spell.

It’s just one of those times and places where you can shake off your cares, sit down , say hi to a neighbour if you like, and leave 90

minutes later with a song in your heart, a few chuckles in your pocket....and it didn’t

cost you a nickel.“For the past year

and a bit, we have been blessed to meet

at the old Galaxy Theater, which is now the home of Dis-covery Community Church, but have moved uptown to Christian Life Fellow-ship Church...behind Merecroft Shopping Center,” Wray said. “Discovery Church, was an awesome home, and the folks there were so warm, and accomodating, to share that Church with all the Commu-nity.”

Different dynam-ics have caused us to move to a new home, at Christian Life Fel-lowship Church, just behind Quality Foods, and the Merecroft Village Shopping Cen-ter and the first singa-long at the new loca-tion, will be 7 p.m., Saturday April 21 right behind Quality Foods. Folks can nip in to Timmy’s right after for coffee and a chin wag, as the event is over at 8:30.

They have regular visitors from Sayward to the North, and Comox to the South, with gatherings of well over 100 every month.

ANSWER TO PUZZLE NO. 123ANSWER TO CROSSWORD

ARIESDeciding to take a last minute trip is a great idea at the present time. You’ll be really surprised by how many friends and family members are ready to participate in your adventures.

TAURUSYou will probably need to make some changes in your circle of friends. It is important for you to eliminate those who take advantage of you as well as those who drain your energy.

GEMINIIt’s possible that you will have to come to terms with people who are constantly changing their minds both at home as well as at the offi ce. You will benefi t from a wealth of creativity.

CANCERYou will double your effi ciency at work or in your various responsibilities. Your attention to detail seems to have increased tenfold and you will realize several amazing exploits.

LEOYou could become the centre of attention for one reason or another. You will need to freshen up your wardrobe a bit in order to improve your appearance.

VIRGOIt’s possible that you will spend several days at home especially if there are people coming to do some work there. It’s also possible that one of your children will need their favourite nurse close by.

LIBRAYou could be really tempted to buy a new car. In fact you may come across a great deal. You may have to speak in front of a crowd at work or elsewhere.

SCORPIOIt’s possible that you will have to incur several large expenses. Fortunately you may also be in a position to work some well-paid overtime.

SAGITTARIUSThere’s lots of action and unexpected developments on the horizon. It’s possible that a bit of confusion may arise with certain members of your family. You will soon reach a compromise.

CAPRICORNYou will need to rest at the beginning of the week as you will probably have to undertake a big project, one which will take up a lot of your energy.

AQUARIUSThere will always be people dissatisfi ed with your eff orts even if you do everything you possibly can. Fortunately you are able to put everything into context by expressing yourself clearly.

PISCESTime is a rare commodity for many people and you are no exception. However, by developing a good sense of organization you will be able to accomplish everything you have to do.

Ross YeomanJan 19, 1953 – Apr 6, 2012

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Ross Yeoman at his home in Courtenay. He has gone home to the Lord after a short but valiant battle with cancer.

Ross was born in Calgary and trav-elled the world with his parents while his father David was in the Air Force and his mother Hazel was a homemaker. It was when his parents

were transferred to Comox Base that he met the love of his life Leslee at school in grade 9, and they married in 1973.

Ross leaves behind four beautiful daughters Robyn (Ed), Shona, Shelley (Sean) and his youngest Meika and two ador-able grand kids Hazel and Leroy and his loving wife of many years Leslee. Also he will be missed by his brother Nick (Judy), sister Wendy and three other brothers Kenny, Jimmy and Jerry and three sisters Rosemary, Debbie and Helene all from Alberta.

He spent 35 years working at the mill in Campbell River till it closed and he chose to retire early. He was the happiest staying home, working on the house and property and looking after his grand kids.

The family is very thankful for all the love and support from all who know us. There is no service now but a Celebration of Life will be held in the summer.

Wishing you were here!We have loads to catch up on,

it's been 21 years.In Loving Memory of my

brother Wade, aka Mr. FaceApril 22/68 – April 13/91

Remembered as forever young.

Ready for jewellery making to become more than just a hobby?

NIC’s new Metal Jew-ellery Design program, starting September 2012 in Campbell River, will provide aspiring jewellery designers with the tools to do just that. The 28-week certificate program includes courses on jewellery history and design, Northwest Coast Aboriginal jew-ellery art, molding and casting, and gem-mology, in addition to a course on business skills and commercial opportunities in jewel-lery design.

The program focuses on metal techniques and hands-on time in the studio. Designed to stress the impor-tance of individual

creativity and artistic endeavor, the courses will provide students with the opportunity to conceptualize and cre-ate their own designs, with guidance from a variety of instructors, all of whom are skilled j ewe l l e r y m a ke r s themselves. Students will have the opportu-nity to work in copper, brass, silver and gold.

Jan Hellerud, a jew-ellery-maker for the past 26 years and lead instructor in the new program, has been teaching the beginning Silversmithing Work-shop at NIC for many years. Her students, many of whom return year-after-year, began asking for more. As a result, Jan talked with other artists about the idea of establishing a

full-time Certificate program in jewellery making at NIC.

This fall, the dream of bringing together an accomplished group of jewellery-makers to offer a metal jewel-lery design program is finally coming to fruition. In Hellerud’s words, “This region is known for its quantity and quality of world-class jewellery design-ers. This program will take advantage of that wealth of knowledge, allowing students to learn from a variety of experts in all aspects of jewellery techniques.”

Not only are the instructors accom-plished in the art of jewellery making, they also have extensive experience in design-ing and selling their

jewellery at festivals, fairs, art galleries, and even from their own studios or galleries. As a result, students will also learn the business side of jewellery mak-ing and proven strat-egies for promoting themselves and their work.

Free information ses-sions will be offered on May 26 and June 14 at NIC’s Campbell River campus. Participants will be able to meet the instructors, learn about the courses, see jewellery making equipment and tools in use, and discover more about the field of

jewellery making and design.

For more informa-tion about the program

and to register for the upcoming information sessions, contact Julia Peters at julia.peters@

nic.bc.ca or 250-923-9724, or visit www.nic.bc.ca and click on Con-tinuing Education.

Time to get your tools ready for the fifth annual Handyman Challenge to support the Campbell River Head Injury Support

Society. Were you affected

by the March storm? Maybe this can help.

This “fun”draiser involves volunteer

teams building garden/storage sheds, green-houses and playhouses, as well as other smaller items such as deck fur-niture, lawn items or

planters. The building starts Sat., June 2 and finishes Sun., June 3. Projects remain on public display at Robert Ostler Park (Foreshore) for a week and on Sun., June 9 will be sold by live auction starting from $1,200.

Teams, couples or individuals can still pre-register for the competition by con-tacting the Head Injury Support office.

Every year the society is continuously amazed by the support from individuals, clubs and businesses in the com-munity. Basic building materials are provided through donations and

the builders are encour-aged to add improve-ments such as windows to enhance the value of their shed. Teams are also encouraged to obtain donations such as merchandise and gift certificates to add extra value to their shed package.

To sponsor, register or get more informa-tion about the Handy-man Challenge contact the Head Injury Society office at (250) 287-4323 or e-mail: [email protected]

Further information will also be available through the society’s website, www.crhead.ca

Experimental Recreational Fishery Community Information SessionA new recreational experimental fishery program was announced in 2011 for interested recreational stakeholders that will allow them to lease quota from commercial harvesters. This experimental program will provide access to halibut beyond the limits of the standard recreational license as well as the opportunity to continue fishing if the standard recreational fishery were to close early, giving those who choose to participate greater stability for business planning purposes.

This community information session will provide information and program details for individuals interested in participating in the halibut experimental recreational fishery and discuss plans for the long-term implementation of the program.

Driving While UsingHand Held Devices

Any chance you might do another article

on handheld device usage in BC? The fi rst

rider death of 2012 in Kelowna was caused

by driver inattention to cell phone usage.

I’ve attached a photo that was just taken this

Saturday. We actually took several - I was

driving, my wife was operating the camera.

This particular one clearly shows what has

the driver’s attention. Traffi c was not at a

standstill - it was fl owing at 60 km/h, and

there was plenty of vehicles around on a

six-lane highway.

The high-res version of this photo plus

the one with his license plate (and a clear

shot of his phone to his ear) have been

handed over to the Kelowna RCMP.

There’s not much that I can add to this

person’s request to continue to highlight the

dangers of taking your attention away from

the driving task. He’s clearly had enough

of seeing this selfi sh, uncaring behaviour

around himself and his family when he

is driving and intends to do something

about it. If someone from the Kelowna

Detachment takes action it is going to be

very diffi cult for this driver to explain away

his actions! I just hope that they don’t end

up becoming part of a road rage incident

when the offending driver realizes that a

photo has been taken.

Is any call or text so important that you

have to respond to it while driving? If you

must say yes, you are fooling yourself and

endangering everyone.

The author is a retired constable

with many years of traffi c enforcement

experience. To comment or learn more,

Two-and-a-half year-old Riley Dunsmore looks like a healthy young boy as he plays with his neighbour-hood friends and zips by on his scooter. But take a closer look and it’s clear Riley is fight-ing a battle that his friends can only imag-ine.

Riley is fighting to recover from severe burns he suffered while camping March 17 at Upper Campbell Lake with his mom Cami Gareau and dad Ronnie Dunsmore.

Riley tripped on what Gareau believes was a stick and fell belly down into the campfire while his mom was pre-paring dinner.

“ I j u s t g r abb e d him,” Gareau said after Riley’s ski jacket ignited. “Panick, I guess. Shock. It was a gut reaction to just grab him and lay him down on his face. Then I flipped him over but his chest was still on fire so I used my hands to put him out.”

Gareau said she burned her fingers but it was only minor compared to the dam-age Riley suffered. The flames leapt up and burnt Riley’s neck,

cheeks, tongue, hands and arms.

Gareau said she flew down Highway 28 and arrived with Riley at Campbell River Hos-pital around 7 p.m. Gareau said doctors put cool compresses on his burns and his skin started to peel. Riley was then flown to B.C. Children’s Hospital and arrived around midnight. Riley was immediately taken in for surgery to check for damage to his throat. Gareau said the two-hour wait for Riley to come out of surgery was agonizing.

“It was hell waiting,” Gareau said. “I paced and cried.”

She said doctors told her Riley stopped breathing while on the operating table because the morphine he had been given earlier all kicked in at once.

“The first time I saw him, he had a tube in his throat,” Gareau said, fortunately there was no long-term dam-age to his lungs or throat.

But Riley is not out of the woods yet. A plastic surgeon has been moni-toring the bubbles that have formed on his hands and is concerned the burns are healing from the inside, instead of out as they should

be. Gareau said if they don’t start to heal prop-erly, Riley will have to have surgery to cut out the damaged skin and replace it with skin grafts.

“He told me I’m look-ing at two months in Vancouver if he has to have skin grafts,” Gareau said.

The family is already making trips back and forth from Vancouver once a week.

Since the accident, Riley has had five burn baths, which can only be done at Children’s Hos-pital. During the baths, Riley is sedated and soaked in special soap which allows doctors to peel dead skin from his body using twee-zers. Then polysporin is applied to the burns. Riley has burn baths every Monday and undergoes hyperbaric chamber treatments in Victoria. The treatment improves the body’s natural healing pro-cess by the inhalation of oxygen in a pressur-ized chamber. The only problem is the treat-ment is not covered by medical insurance and sessions cost $100 each time. So far, the family has racked up $500 in hyperbaric chamber treatments alone, not including the endless tubes of polysporin the

family has had to buy, as well as morphine pills.

A group of family friends have pulled together to organize a dance on Riley’s behalf for this Saturday. Fam-ily friend Tina Adams said there are still a lot of tickets that need to be sold. The dance starts at 7 p.m., doors at 6:30 p.m. at the Quin-sam Hall (761 Nursery Road). Tickets are $20 and can be purchased at the Quinsam Liquor Store, Smart Style Salon, Bubble’s Laun-dry and Video Gallery

at Saratoga.All proceeds will go to

Riley’s burn recovery. Rides home from the dance will be provided.

Gareau said Riley’s spirits are high and he is slowly recovering.

“He’s a very active kid and it hasn’t slowed him down much,” Gareau said. “He’s a very strong little boy, in good spirits, and very happy during the day. He’s always on the go. It’s just going to be a long road to recovery.”

ICBC thanks volunteers

In recognition of National Volunteer Week (April 15 to 21), ICBC thanks volun-teers in Campbell River and Gold River.

In 2011, Speed Watch program volunteers in Campbell River and Gold River contrib-uted over 160 hours to help reduce speed-related crashes. Vol-unteers use radar and speed-reader boards to show drivers how fast they’re traveling. Research shows that it works – over 70 per cent of drivers travel-ing 10km/h over the speed limit slow down when they see a speed-reader board.

In 2011, local Lock Out Auto Crime pro-g r a m vo l u n t e e r s handed out more than 2,600 notices onto the windshields of vehi-cles, many with valu-ables in sight, offering common sense tips to the owners to pro-tect them from auto crime.

These volunteers also operate the Sto-len Auto Recovery program in Camp-bell River and Gold River, and in 2011, they scanned approx-imately 11,400 licence plates to help identify stolen vehicles.

Only once every four or five years, driven by lack of prey in their usual wintering grounds, snowy owls fly south to Pacific N o r t h w e s t shores.

T h i s h a s been such a year, and the h i g h nu m -bers of North A m e r i c a ’ s largest owl, concentrated near Vancou-ver, have cre-ated a mecca for birdwatchers and photographers.

Nature Vancouver’s online Rare Bird Alert had reported large numbers of owls near 72nd Street on Bound-ary Bay, plus more in the Brunswick Point area of Delta.

One source counted more than 70 owls at

one point. In the win-ter of 1973-’74, a record 107 snowy owls were seen during Ladner’s Christmas Bird Count.

Numbers this high constitute a major snowy ow l f l i g h t year, with t h e b i r d s expected to remain into m i d - A p r i l . O b s e r ve r s , i n c l u d i n g excited bird-ers and eager p h o t o g r a -

phers, have been asked to keep a respectful distance, in order not to flush or frighten off the large, imposing owl of the north, which measures 58 centime-ters – about two feet in height – with an enor-mous 127 cm wing-span.

The massive bird

of prey tends to sit motionless, with large golden eyes ever watch-ful for small waterfowl and other prey. Snowy

owl flight years tend to make the news sim-ply because of their relative rarity and the bird’s size and mys-

tique.Snowy owls lead

nomadic lives and travel vast distances from year to year searching for produc-tive feeding areas. Some years, most recently in the winter of 2011-’12, conditions cause them to come south in great numbers.

Ye a r- r o u n d , t h e snowy owl tradition-ally makes its home in the Yukon and in Alaska, where native a r c t i c l e m m i n g s abound. Yet every four or five years, owl repro-duction increases, and lemming and vole numbers decline, forc-

ing hungry owls to fly south for food.

It’s been five years since such numbers have been seen on B.C.’s southern coast.

All is not bliss in the snowies’ oceanview feeding grounds, as wildlife rehabilitators have received several owls in poor shape. Upon arrival to our shores, the owls are exhausted, emaciated and fragile, having flown thousands of kilometres in search of prey.
