Police officers often deal with the aftermath of horrible crashes, and the impact those crashes have on grieving loved ones.

Whether it is a fatal or serious injury collision the life altering con-sequences to the families involved is immeasurable. What is missed by the impaired driver is the lifelong burden that families will have to endure as the result of their stupid and irresponsible decision.

We dont call these accidents, says Cpl. Robert McDonald, spokesperson for RCMP Traffic Services. Theres nothing acciden-tal when someone makes the deci-sion to get behind the wheel when they are impaired.

Even in Campbell River recently, alcohol is believed to be a factor in two serious accidents that killed a man and injured a couple.

Sadly, says Cpl. McDonald, too many people in this province still dont grasp the gravity of impaired driving. Thats the conclusion of the RCMP Traffic members, who recently shared true stories of impaired drivers they have dealt with during their careers.

We hope that by sharing these alarming stories, they will provide an extra incentive for people to find alternate ways of getting home, such as public transit, cabs or a des-ignated driver, he says.

Councils decision to exclude Mayor Walter Jakeway from the Strathcona Regional District board prompted a verbal lashing from resi-dent Sean Smith at Tuesdays council meeting.

Smith accused councillors of sac-rificing Jakeway for political gains.

This is a man who is passionate about our community and hes being hamstrung for nothing more than, I think, a political gain, Smith said. This is not a house of cards.

Smith presented council with a 310 signature petition in support of the

Carihi celebrated the holiday sea-son this week with a lunchtime turkey meal and talent show on Wednesday.

The meal was pre-pared by the Carihi Caf-eteria program, which is taught by Chef Jessica Mann. Students in the program learn skills for making food in a profes-sional setting and serve it in the cafeteria every day, providing afford-able and delicious food for students and teach-ers. The Christmas meal included 30 turkeys, roasted root vegetables, stuffing, peas, gravy,

cranberry sauce and to finish off the monstrous meal, pumpkin pie. Its sponsors include Com-munity Links, Sysco and the local Steiner Bakery, who are providing all the bread.

It is the only turkey dinner some students will get. Its an opportu-nity for the whole school to get together, said Mann.

Following lunch, students and teachers took the stage in perfor-mances ranging from singing and acoustic guitar to dancing troops and a band of teachers.

At 7:30 p.m. that eve-ning, the Carihi band put on a concert for the Carihi community. It

was an excellent show-case of talent within the school.

All proceeds went to Bear the dog.

The whole week has been full of celebration, from dress up days to free hot chocolate at lunch, scattered between last minute tests.

Despite this, students are eager to start winter break. Whether they are spending time with family or travelling, the holiday is much needed.

Upon returning in January, the students will be thrown into a whirlwind of exam prep and new courses.

Look out for a future issue on exams and stress.

For people who their pets.Paws&Claws

Keeping your furry family members safe during the holi

days can be a

dif cult task. There are the ornaments, plants, present

s, lights -- oh,

and who could forget the Christmas tree (if do you dec

ide to put one up

this year)? Let's take a look at some simple steps that w

ill allow your

pets to join in the holiday fun this year, while avoiding a

ny trips to the

animal emergency room.

Christmas Tree Tips:

1. Place your Christmas tree in a corner, blocked off fro

m your pet's

wanting eyes. If this doesn't keep your dog or cat from

attempting

to jump onto the tree, you can place aluminum foil, a pl

astic drink

bottle lled with knick knacks, or anything else that cre

ates noise

on the tree's bottom limbs to warn you of an impending

tree

disaster.

2. Tinsel can add a nice sparkling touch to the tree, bu

t make sure

you hang it up out of your pet's reach. Ingesting the tin

sel can

potentially block their intestines, which is generally on

ly remedied

through surgical means.

3. Do not put lights on the tree's lower branches. Not

only can

your pet get tangled up in the lights, they are a burning

hazard.

Additionally, your dog or cat may inadvertently get sho

cked by

biting through the wire.

4. Ornaments need to be kept out of reach, too. In add

ition to

being a choking and intestinal blockage hazard, shards

from

broken ornaments may injure paws, mouths, or other p

arts of

your pet's body.

5. For those buying a live Christmas trees this year, kee

p the

area free and clear of pine needles. While they may no

t seem

dangerous, the needles can puncture your pet's intestin

es if

ingested. Other Great Holiday Item T

ips:

1. Did you know holly, mistletoe, and poinsettia plants

are

poisonous to dogs or cats? If you normally use these pl

ants

to decorate your home, they should be kept in an area

your

pet cannot reach.

2. Edible tree decorations -- whether they be ornamen

ts, or

cranberry or popcorn strings -- are like time bombs wa

iting

to happen. These goodies are just too enticing and you

r pet

will surely tug at them, knocking down your wonderfully

decorated spruce.

3. Burning candles should be placed on high shelves

or mantels,

out of your pet's way -- there's no telling where a wagg

ing

tail may end up. Homes with replaces should use scre

ens to

avoid accidental burns.

4. To prevent any accidental electrocutions, any expo

sed indoor

or outdoor wires should be taped to the wall or the side

s of

the house.

5. When gift wrapping, be sure to keep your pet away

. Wrapping

paper, string, plastic, or cloth could cause intestinal

blockages. Scissors are another hazard, and they shou

ld be

kept off oors or low tables.

Council will leave ship-ping containers alone for now.

The majority of coun-cillors disagreed with city staff s proposed bylaw to restrict the use of the containers to industrial-zoned properties only and send the issue to a second public hearing.

Coun. Larry Samson said he didnt see the need to repeat the pro-cess.

We a l re a d y s a t through one public hearing and I think it was heard loud and clear from the speakers that there doesnt need to be changes to the bylaw, Samson said.

City staff crafted a bylaw that, if approved,

would have banned ship-ping containers from commercial and residen-tial properties, except in the case of construction or a review by city hall.

The proposed bylaw was sent to a public hearing in July in which several business own-ers explained they use the containers as storage because theyre secure and affordable. Most said

that taking away those containers would hurt their business.

Following the pub-lic hearing, council instructed staff to hold a public open house to get input from the com-munity.

At that meeting, held in November at the Enterprise Centre, every person in attendance opposed the changes.

At Tuesdays council meeting, councillors took that input to heart.

Coun. Andy Adams said city staff need to go back to the drawing board.

I was opposed when this was first presented in 2009 and Ill be opposed

in its current form. We heard from the public loud and clear, Adams said. I think its impor-tant to note that busi-nesses that already have sea cans on their proper-ties were done so in good faith and I think there needs to be some consid-

eration into grandfather-ing, Adams added.

Council defeated a motion by Kerr to aban-don the shipping con-tainer bylaw but did approve a motion by Adams to have city staff craft options for dealing with the containers.

Truly Impaired Stories

n During an impaired driving trial, the defence lawyer asked the police officer if hed provided his client with an oppor-tunity to use the facili-ties. When the police officer tried to be dis-creet in his answer, the judge instead instructed him to offer a full description. The police officer then described how the defendant had

to use the wall to steady himself, but swayed so much that he urinated on two different urinals and the wall. When the laughter in the packed courtroom died down the defence lawyer sim-ply said, No more ques-tions your honour.n A traffic team was

working on a roadblock when a van pulled up with a male driver who smelled of liquor. After the driver failed his breath test and the offi-cer was about to arrest him, a woman pulled up in a taxi and said she was his wife. But the man was alone in his van and had not made any calls while police were dealing with him. The mystery was solved when the woman told

the officer they had just left a party and she had warned him, I told you that you had drunk too much, and to take the taxi with me!n One Halloween

night, a drunk driver sat in his car while the vehicle engine burned. Other motorists tried to help him before police showed up, but the driver was too intoxicated to realize the danger and refused to exit his car. At their own risk, they pulled the driver from the burning vehicle. When police did arrive the driver was too drunk to blow into the screening device. He went to jail while the people who assisted him were given a police com-mendation.

started proceedings to have an SUV and thou-sands of dollars forfeited to the Crown that were

seized during a drug investigation.

Campbell River RCMP released no information

connected to a Oct. 23 search involving drug trafficking at two differ-ent locations in the city.

However, in Wednes-days Mirror, a classi-fied legal advertisement spells out some of the details.

According to the B.C. Civil Forfeiture Office, drug raids were carried out in the 1800 block of Nunns Road and in the 700 block South Island Hwy.

It didnt say if any drugs were seized and Camp-bell River RCMP were unavailable for comment at press time.

Officer did seize a 2003 Infiniti QX4 along with $11,490 and another $200 in cash. The SUV and cash are now subject to forfeiture under B.C. law.

The purpose of the advertisement was to let those with an interest in all or part of the subject property that the forfei-ture process has begun and they now have 60 days to dispute the appli-cation.

The B.C. forfeiture law has been in effect since 2006, but is seldom used

in Campbell River. In 2010, the law was

used to seize a notorious crack house in Camp-bellton on 19th Avenue. The property was later sold and the old house demolished.

Across the province, thousands of items are seized every year.

Homes and properties are sold through licensed realtors, but other items are up for bid at www.bcauction.ca

mayor.The people of Camp-

bell River l ike our mayor, Smith said. I think because he doesnt act like a typical politi-cian. Hes approachable, he discusses things, he speaks his mind.

Hes doing everything he can to be as effective as possible and create an environment for our community that works.

Smith said he had no illusions that the peti-tion would make an iota of difference or that council would change its mind but he said he hoped councillors would make the decision to return the mayor to the regional district board to represent the commu-nity.

I say to you, you as councillors, you are not representing us, Smith said. When we come to you and say we are genuinely unhappy about something, we we feel ignored. We are offended.

Coun. Larry Samson defended councils deci-sion.

Thanks for that Sean. Now its my turn, Sam-son began. Lets take

one item the Compost Education Centre. The Comox Strathcona Solid Waste Management proposes to cut it. His Worship votes with the Comox Valley directors to close the centre, to put the two contractors in Courtenay.

I would expect as a mayor, as a proponent for Campbell River, he would be fighting to keep jobs in Campbell River rather than re-locating our jobs to Courtenay. I just found it unbeliev-able in a sense that a few weeks ago he proposed a community garden task force and wanted to give them a budget of $5,000. I would think compost-ing would be part of the community garden bylaws.

Coun. Ryan Mennie questioned Smiths peti-tion.

When we get input from the community we appreciate it, Men-nie said. We also have to put it into perspective and how we put it into perspective is trying to understand what infor-mation the public sign-ing the petition had at the time they signed it.

Hopefully they were educated.

Mennie also ques-tioned whether Smith mentioned to petition-ers that councils terms on the regional district board had expired and that council was trying to spread the workload with its new appointments.

Me n n i es s e c o n d question to Smith was whether he informed the public that none of the Comox Valley may-ors (Comox, Courtenay or Cumberland) serve on the Comox Valley Regional District board.

At which point Jake-way stepped in and asked Mennie if he knew why those mayors werent on the board.

Jakeway said that the mayor of Courtenay does not want to sit on the board while the mayor of Comox is busy with his day job as a lawyer.

Mennie called a point of order, telling Jakeway he wasnt finished with the delegation.

Mennie then praised council for laying the groundwork for the development boom the city is currently enjoying and for prevailing despite some negative attention from the media.

Thank goodness that the supposed divisive

attitude in this room thats been reported in certain circles through social media and by cer-tain members of the tra-ditional media, has done little to affect the work and the growth and the renewal that is underway right now in our city, Mennie said.

He challenged Smith and those who signed the petition and support the mayor to channel their energies into positive,

productive work to add to the renewal of the city. He also issued a chal-lenge to the media.

Appreciate your read-ers, your viewers and your listeners enough to allow them to make decisions based on fact and not opinion, Men-nie said.

Meanwhile, Moglove, who made the motion to appoint councillors Mary Storry and Andy Adams to the board instead of

Jakeway and Samson, explained her decision to the Mirror last week.

She said her reasoning is that one of councils strategic priorities is to secure a regional com-post centre in Camp-bell River and Jakeway has consistently voted against such an endeav-our as well as against keeping the Compost Education Centre open.

She said when it comes to voting on the solid

waste board, which regional district direc-tors also sit on, Camp-bell River council needs to vote together.

Its important council sticks together as one united voted at the solid waste board because its a weighted vote, Moglove said.

Its important to have everyone vote together if we want to keep the Compost Education Centre open.

PROCESS

Continued from Pg. 1

Council: Petition presented


Turning the cornerA concrete worker finishes the curb at the northwest corner of Shoppers Row and St. Anns Road on Wednesday. During the downtown revitalization project, the city mucked up the cor-ners design and made it awkwardly tight for larger vehicles to safely turn right. That problem, hopefully, has been corrected. The new curb provides a few more feet of space and appears to be a smoother turn.


A used car dealership in Campbellton was asked to go back to the drawing board by coun-cil before it will allow the owner to expand his business.

Gord Knight, owner of Gord Knight Ventures Ltd., wants to add two service bays to his facil-ity.

Colin Burridge said Knight, who has oper-ated the family business for 39 years, is trying to grow his company.

Hed like to accom-modate the existing and projected demand for servicing vehicles and add extra service bays to his shop. He presently employs eight people and he expects to add two more with the addition.

He added the current bay is not large enough to accommodate the large trucks that are expected to need servicing in town with the BC Hydro and hospital projects on tap.

However, at Tuesdays council meeting, coun-cillors expressed their disappointment with the projects lack of proposed landscaping. The dealer-ships plans call for three large, concrete plant-ers with two mountain pines in each along the front of the property but the building is proposed to be set back too far from the property line for a main street setting, according to city staff.

Burridge said its dif-ficult to incorporate ele-ments at the front of the lot because the cars need to be visible.

An issue of course with the site is its a used car lot so its important that the public can drive by or walk by all the cars, Bur-ridge said. Thats how business is done and we didnt want to screen off the parking to any great extent to reduce the vis-ibility of the inventory and of course the busi-ness.

The building was also expected to have mini-

mal architectural and design merit.

Coun. Ron Kerr, an advocate for Campbell-ton, said more works needs to be done on a landscaping plan.

When you have vehicles in the park-ing lot and the noses of the vehicles are actually impeding traffic on the sidewalks, a few plant-ers across the front are not going to change this, Kerr said. This is an example of a really lame attempt to improve what is really stopping Campbellton from being a liveable and walkable community.

Coun. Larry Samson said if council wanted to change the aesthetics in Campbellton this was its chance.

If we do want to raise the standards in Camp-bellton this is our oppor-tunity, he said.

City staff also felt the application fell short of the landscaping require-ments and for that rea-son brought the applica-

tion to council.Kevin Brooks, the citys

senior planner, suggested the dealership incorpo-rate other elements to separate the cars in the parking lot and the side-walk.

While adding to the visual amenity, the three planters would do so in only the most incre-mental fashion, said Brooks. A continuous narrow strip of lower-level planting with inter-

mittent trees would be a more appropriate solu-tion, perhaps in combi-nation with decorative, open fencing or a more symbolic boundary that allows people to pass through.

Coun. Andy Adams, the only councillor to vote against not issuing the development permit to Knight, suggested the proponent meet with the Campbellton Neigh-bourhood Association.

WINTER BURNING TIPS

Winter wood smoke is one of the largest sources of fine particulate air pollution. Exposure has been linked to adverse health effects and decreased life expectancy. Following Burn it Smart principles for using wood as a fuel can help reduce neighbourhood air pollution - so we can all breathe a little easier.

TIP #2

Burn dry, seasoned wood: Firewood should be seasoned for at least six

months for best results. Seasoned wood produces more heat, less smoke and reduces

your wood consumption by 25 per cent!

Willow Point BIA

Kristen DouglasCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The temporary four-way stop at the intersec-tion of Shoppers Row and 10th Avenue has prompted council to consider permanent traf-fic controls at the busy crossing.

Coun. Larry Samson put forward a motion at Tuesdays council meet-ing to have city staff

come back with a report on traffic control at the Shoppers Row, Tyee Plaza and 10th Avenue intersection.

I understand staff is working on this and I thank them very much, Samson said. I want to make this into a motion so that we as a council have a chance to discuss it amongst ourselves before all of a sudden we see changes happening at

that intersection.C ounci l voted in

favour of the report with the stipulation that the report include consulta-tion with the Downtown BIA (Business Improve-ment Ass o c iat ion) , which Moglove said has been discussing the tem-porary four-way at its recent meetings.

The four-way stop was put in five months ago to help control the increase

in traffic on 10th Ave-nue while St. Anns was closed as part of the citys downtown revitalization project.

In August, Mayor Wal-ter Jakeway said he had received several com-pliments about the new traffic pattern.

Ive had lots of e-mails asking if we could make the four-way stop on Shoppers Row a perma-nent fixture, Jakeway

said. People trying to get in and out of Tyee Plaza and across the street from the other side find it really helpful.

During peak traffic times, however, the four-way creates congestion along Shoppers Row which blocks cars from proceeding south-bound through the three-way stop at Shoppers Row and 11th Avenue/Veter-ans Way.

Gifts found, owner soughtSomeone is missing Christmas gifts.Last Sunday a large bag was found by a road

maintenance crew on the Island Highway near Sayward. The crew turned in the bag to Sayward RCMP and once the contents were examined, it was clear the items were intended to bring smiles to a child or two on Christmas morning.

Despite the passing of several days, nobody has come forward to claim them.

This is an unusual discovery, and one that were taking a special interest in, says Const. Steven Thackeray. We want these gifts to make it under the right tree before Christmas Eve. If you can help, give us a call.

If you are the owner of these items, or know who may be, contact the Sayward RCMP as soon as you can at 250-282-5522. A matching description of the items will see them quickly returned!

Were down to just four shopping days left before Christmas morning. Four days to find just the right gift for those loved ones on your list.

And four days to support local businesses.

This Christmas, we urge our readers to remember their local merchants and home-based businesses this holiday season.

There are hundreds of them, stretching across the city and many are involved with

the Chamber of Commerce.Each business name represents one person who

was willing to invest in this community. It takes a lot of guts to hang an open sign up on your front drive, advertising hair services, computer repair or your artwork.

It takes trust in your community, and potential customers, to renovate retail space in the downtown core. Each business is hoping to make ends meet, while providing employment for others.

And while the draw to the malls in Nanaimo and

beyond can be tempting, ask yourself if you cant get a better product closer to home.

If youve never stepped foot in a shop in Campbellton or Willow Point Square, or never strolled down Shoppers Row except to sightsee, this is the time to do it. Many shops are filled to the brim with Christmas cheer, great gift ideas and what you need to entertain this season.

But remember, theyre also filled with your friends and neighbours, all working at making this community a better place to live, and do business.

Support your local businessOur ViewOur View

One little accident wont keep good people down

We say: Shop local and support your business-owner neighbours

Bad things happen to good people, but sometimes good things can come about from a bad situation.

It often depends on your point of view.If you ask Art and Sally van Holst,

theyll tell you they are thankful to be alive.

Were pretty fortunate to come away with a few bruises, Art said Monday afternoon.

Those bruises still hurt and healing will take time, but the accident could have been so much worse.

On Monday, shortly after 6 a.m., the van Holsts were stopped at the intersec-tion of the Island Highway and Hilchey Road when their van was rear-ended by a Camaro. The driver of the car never braked and then fled on foot.

He was later caught by police who say

alcohol was involved.The impact totalled the van Holsts

2004 vehicle which they had just paid off and use it for their cleaning business. Its a business theyve been doing for years and it allows them to run the Radiant Life Community Church.

For many years, Pastor Art and Sally have tirelessly worked to take care of Campbell Rivers least fortunate citizens. They do it with compassion and never with any fanfare.

Thats the way they like it.Even hours after the accident, after

theyve been released from hospital, their first thoughts werent for themselves. Instead, Art was making sure things were in order at the new safe shelter. Since October, members of Radiant Life and a handful of contracted employees

have been running the new low-barrier shelter beside the downtown firehall.

Its only a temporary cold weather shel-ter and a pilot project here in B.C. but its a fine place to spend the night when its freezing and wet outside, and youre homeless.

The shelter has been open since Octo-ber and so far things are going exceed-ingly well. With donations of labour and materials, fencing, shrubs and trees were planted around the shelter to give it a far more homey look and feel. The nightly guests, along with so many more, also enjoy breakfasts and dinners across the street at the Radiant Life Church.

Its a fine community built on determi-nation, commitment, love and faith, and its not about to be interrupted by one accident and some pain.

Since the accident, so many people have called to ask what they can do or how they can help. Its wonderful...were really blessed, said Art.

The van Holsts, understandably, couldnt make Mondays first open house at the Safe Shelter. They wanted to be there to welcome the community to their community and to show what is possible when people work together.

The new Safe Shelter is something everyone in this city can take pride in. Perhaps thats why a mother and her three young children showed up at the open house.

They wanted to see for themselves what its all about, to learn and to hope-fully help out in someway. And its that type of goodness that gets others through bad situations.

A copy of this letter was sent to the Minister of Transporta-tion.

Can someone tell the public why we need over 650 man-agers at B.C. Ferries? That appears to be approximately 10 managers for every sailing route. This does seem to be rather excessive. Washington State has only 52 managers for a ferry service slightly smaller than ours.

Also, can you explain to me why managers get paid bonuses for doing their jobs? Isnt that what we pay their salaries for? I have no qualms in cutting back on schedules in the non tourist times, however, this is part of our high-way system. I realize that people who choose to live where they depend on a ferry to get them to work or whatever, still have some rights. We have travelled to Washington state on numerous occasions and used their ferry system at a cost of $17 for 2 seniors and our car for a crossing from downtown Seattle to Bremerton, nearly 1 1/2 hour trip.

Their ferries are not as luxurious as ours, but we should not be running a cruise ship system. I am sure that most, if not all, passengers would be much happier paying a lot less with little frills. I know we would. Washington ferries have basically the same routes that we have, yet we are gouged for the pleasure of using the B.C. Ferries monopoly. Might I suggest that if the corporation were not so top heavy with management, perhaps more savings could be achieved.

As well, we seniors, who have worked hard and paid our taxes for years, should not become the scapegoats for incom-petence.

If youre in down-town Campbell River Saturday, Dec. 21, be sure to stop by the Campbell River Art Gallery Christmas Market from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. to see popular local artists Carole Goodwin and Jill Paris Rody at work and to sample tea from The Gathering Place Trading Company.

Goodwin and Paris Rody often work and exhibit together and you can see their paintings on display at the Christ-mas Market.

Goodwin is inspired by the diverse beauty of Vancouver Island. Her current work is mostly experimental, using mixed media and acrylic paint. She uses collage, gels and other mediums to create texture, which is then covered with gold or silver leaf.

When I paint I look for a spiritual connec-

tion to my subject, as I desire to feel the oneness of nature and acknowl-edge my connectedness to it, Goodwin said.

Paris Rody paints to convey the colour and mystery of intimate

spaces in her artwork. She travels with her camera, to capture moments in time, and she seeks to illustrate a dream-like peace and tranquility in her paint-ings. She begins each

work with a painterly sketch, then blocks in form and value followed by strong statements of colour.

All the while Im thinking of my rela-tionship to the scene, and how it touches me emotionally, Paris Rody said.

The Gathering Place Trading Companys organic and fairly traded products come from family or cooperative farms in developing countries and they give back 13 per cent of their profits to improve the lives of children in need. They sell everything from teas to spices, sea salts and more. Sample their tea when you visit the Gallery Saturday and check out all their other wonderful products!

The CR Art Gal-lerys Christmas Arts and Crafts Market, sponsored by Chan, Nowosad and Boates, Chartered Market features the work of dozens of artisans from Campbell River, Quadra Island, Cortes Island and other communities in the region.

Be sure to stop by the Market this Saturday, Dec. 21 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. for a tea sample from The Gathering Place and to see Carole Goodwin and Jill Paris Rody at work.

For more information, stop by the Gallery from Monday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., call 250-287-2261 or email [email protected]

A Nanaimo-based landscaping firm ben-efiting from Campbell Rivers building boom is paying it forward to the citys homeless.

Easy Living Landscap-ing did the gardening around the recently-opened Rose Harbour apartment complex and crews are presently busy working on the down-town revitalization proj-ect.

Were quite involved

in the community in Nanaimo and lately weve been doing a lot of work in Campbell River, and we wanted to give back a little, says owner Rob Muir, who noted that most of the local work-ers are Campbell River residents.

What seems a little to some is a lot to others and Pastor Art van Holst was thrilled when Muir said his company would donate the fuel to run the citys new safe shelter for homeless people.

Were committed to

help, says Muir.It costs $30 a day to buy

diesel to fuel the furnace in the 16-bed shelter a highly-modified ship-ping container located beside the downtown firehall.

For Pastor Art van Holst of the Radiant Life

Community Church, which manages the shel-ter and also feeds the homeless twice daily, the donation was a godsend. The church had been actively seeking sponsors to contribute the $30 a day, but now Easy Living Landscaping is prepared

to donate and drop off the diesel for the rest of the winter.

What a blessing, says van Holst.

But the giving didnt stop there as students from Southgate Middle School dropped off 120 gifts for those who are

less fortunate.The students hand-

decorated each bag with Christmas themes and filled them with treats and grooming supplies.

We truly appreciate what theyve done. Its very positive, says van Holst.
