KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR When the Coast Discovery Inn opened 51 years ago, the keys were thrown into the ocean in a symbolic gesture that the hotel doors should never be closed. Now the current owner of the hotel is threatening to break that promise. On Jan. 6, Sukhy Bains, owner and general manager of the Coast Dis- covery Inn, gave notice to the health and hospitality union, Unite Here Local 40, that he intends to close the hotel March 7 due to financial losses, putting approximately 35 workers out of work. But Shelly Ervin, an officer with the Unite Here Local 40 union, is skeptical Bains will permanently shut down the hotel. “He has made comments he wants to open non-union so he doesn’t have to pay the employees a decent wage or benefits,” Ervin said. “These benefits are the same as approxi- mately 60 properties throughout B.C. including the Quinsam Hotel in Campbell River. “It does not make sense that the hotel will close prior to the busy sea- son, especially since he has recently put money into the hotel to renovate it.” If the hotel is shuttered, it will be an unfortunate twist of irony.

2014 Infi niti Q50 challenges the old order

Infiniti has had a bit of an identity crisis

over the past year with a wholesale

change in the way it names its prod-

ucts. Gone is the JX crossover, it’s called the

QX60 now and the G 37 sedan has

been replaced with the Q50 sedan. Q

signifies for cars and QX for crossovers

or SUVs. The outgoing G37 was already a very

worthy on-road performer but a bit too

simplistic in the inside. Now, Infiniti has

taken things up a notch with the Q50,

adding a dynamic look, sumptuous

interior and class leading technology.

LooksIt could be argued that the current

BMW 3 Series and Mercedes C-Class

are a bit conservative, while this Q50

and the major competitor, Lexus IS, are

much edgier. This is especially true with

the front grille. The rest of the Q50 is

nicely sculpted, with flowing lines and

an almost elegant rear end. Sold as a

base model, sport trim, all wheel drive

(AWD), premium, and even a hybrid,

there is a broad market for this sedan.

Starting at $37,500 and ramping up

to the AWD sport model at $49,950,

there is a substantial discount with the

Q50 when you compare it to a similarly

equipped BMW. The base model comes

with 17-inch wheels but most of the

higher trim levels are equipped with

19-inch wheels. The car seen here is

the AWD premium model starting at

$43,400.

InsideThe Q50 centre console is very

attractive with two screens placed for

radio functions and the second for the

navigation ($1,400 option)

and backup camera. The

way the lower screen is

incorporated is first rate;

it looks like a high quality

iPad that sits flush with

the dash, while the higher

screen is recessed for easier

use in bright light.

The only problem with

this system is the time it

takes to boot-up when

you start the car over 30

seconds to access the radio

and other features. Most

people will buy the sport

model ($47,495) or the

premium trim ($43,400) to

get heated leather seats,

Bose stereo, backup camera with

around view cameras, and power tilt

and telescopic steering to name a few

additional features. The base model is

a price leader but expect to buy the

premium model or above to get the

car well equipped. In comparison, the

$53,800, 300hp BMW 335iS AWD is

much more expensive than many of the

top Q50 trim levels.

DriveThe latest trend is to include a turbo-

charged 4-cylinder engine as the base

power plant in most German compact

luxury sedans. This Q50 is bucking the

trend and sticking with the 3.7L V6

they had in the previous G37 with a

powerful and smooth 328hp.

The transmission is a 7-speed automat-

ic that puts the power to either the rear

wheels, or all wheels, depending on

the trim selected. Most Canadians will

opt for the AWD model,

which is a good choice

due to the higher level

of interior amenities.

In addition, the Q50 is

the first car to have a

steer-by-wire system

that is customizable and

this system is optional

on the AWD models and

standard on the sport

versions of the Q50.

Direct Adaptive Steering

has its critics but for

me, the Q50 feels like

it is an extension of the

driver, moving through

corners with ease and

comfort with just the

slightest movement of the steering

wheel. Handling is enhanced thanks to

a stiffer chassis and the rear suspen-

sion has been adjusted.

The downside to equipping the Q50

with a V6 is the amount of fuel it

burns in comparison to the turbo

4-cylinder offerings from the German

competition. Rated at 11.1L/100km in

the city and 7.3L on the highway for

the AWD equipped model. There is a

hybrid version available that drops the

consumption down to 7.0L/100km in

the city and 5.0L on the highway but

it is a premium offering with a starting

price of $47,000.

VerdictThe benchmark in the premium com-

pact sedan market has been the BMW

3 Series but the gap is narrowing. This

new Q50 looks great, has a wonder-

ful interior, power to spare and solid

handling dynamics.

On price, the BMW 328i AWD is the

closest and starts at $46,200 but is

equipped with a 241hp 4-cylinder. The

direct competitor on power is the much

more expensive 335is AWD.

The Lexus IS350 AWD is another premi-

um offering from Japan, and it starts at

a very competitive $44,000. As much as

the Japanese automakers like to chal-

lenge the German makers, they really

end up competing with each other.

Yes, this is a worthy car but the one

thing you cannot factor into the buying

decision is the badge appeal that

storied brands like Mercedes, BMW and

Audi provide.

Is there any cooler job than being a lifeguard? They

all seem young and fit. They get to wear shorts and t-shirts to work and stand around in watch-ful poses looking all flinty-eyed and authori-tative.

Yep, you’re thinking: nice work if you can get it.

But Susan Bullock, Strathcona Gardens’ manager of programs, wants you to know that there’s more to being a lifeguard than you real-ize.

“A lot of people think they’re all 16-year-olds and they stand around like this (leans with elbow against a wall),” Bullock says.

But the truth is Strath-cona Gardens’ lifeguards are a mix of ages – from 16 to 40-something. They’ve also paid their dues to get the job. It costs $2,250 in courses and takes 278 hours of course time to become qualified to get a job as a lifeguard at Strathcona Gardens, Campbell River’s swimming pool, arena and recreation complex.

And once they’ve got the job, they have to keep working at it to keep it.

Case in point was Sun-day morning where 21 Strathcona Gardens life-guards and two supervi-sors were participating in a quarterly inservice training session.

“Certification as a NLS (National Lifeguard Service) lifeguard is not the end of a lifeguard’s education but, rather, the beginning,” Bullock says.

After initial training, lifeguards have to stay good and get better at what they do. To stay good, they practice skills, apply knowledge and use problem solv-ing, decision making and judgement.

“To get better, life-guards have to learn, grow and develop both personally and profes-

sionally.”It’s more than a part-

time, after school job. It

involves providing both lifeguarding duties and swimming instruction.

“A lifeguard’s job requires a high degree of

judgement, knowledge, skill and fitness in both day-to-day guarding and in the stress of an emer-gency,” Bullock says.

Inservice train-ing helps sustain the lifeguard’s confidence in their ability to pre-vent accidents and to respond competently when they do occur.

So, on Sunday morn-ing 21 lifeguards were put through their paces being tested in their abilities to respond to emergency situations. Two guards were put on duty at a time while all the other lifeguards were in the pool “playing” with various floating pool toys.

The on-duty guards had to spot when one of them begins mimicking

being in distress. In a cluttered pool, it’s not so easy to detect some-body slipping under the surface.

Once a guard detects the distressed swimmer, she blows her whistle to draw the other guard’s attention, indicates where the situation is and then plunges into the pool to effect a rescue. The guards are timed for how long it takes to recognize the emergency and then assessed on the action they took. They then receive direct feedback from the supervisors.

Providing lifeguarding duties at the pool is only part of the job. Strath-cona Gardens lifeguards are also swimming instructors. So, besides being a reliable and well

trained professional, Gardens lifeguards also need to be good com-municators with people of all different ages, Bullock says. You have to like kids in particular.

“It’s a fun job. You can’t be a grouchy per-son, you’ve got to be outgoing and fun,” she says.

So, maybe some of the stereotype does apply.

Being fit and personable is part of the job. And so is being cool – in the sense of being watchful and cool under pressure. Somebody’s life may depend on it.

Lifeguards: Tested in their ability to respond to situations

with a key to unlock the padlocked front doors. After the doors were unlocked, the key was thrown into the ocean to signal that from that day forward the doors of the Discovery Inn should always be open.

In 1965, a distinctive, six-storey annex was added to the Discovery Inn which made Camp-bell River’s first luxury hotel the second larg-est hotel on Vancou-ver Island next to the Empress Hotel in Victo-ria.

Owned by Delta Hotels, the hotel switched hands several times and was owned by Coast Hotels, a Japanese investment company, OKABE Com-

pany, and eventually Bains.

Now, Ervin said Bains doesn’t seem interested in working with the union to save the hotel.

“The union has repeat-edly asked to meet with the owner Sukhy Bains since the fall of 2012 to see if there was a solution. So far he has refused to meet,” Ervin said. “In fact, we had a meeting scheduled for Monday, Jan. 6 which Mr. Bains cancelled a few days in advance and instead he called a staff meeting and gave them their notice.

“This is clear Mr. Bains has never had any inten-tion of meeting with the union. We see this as nothing more than union busting to drive

down workers’ wages in Campbell River.”

Ervin said the union believes that Bains’ actions are in violation of B.C. Labour Laws.

“We believe the owner has acted contrary to B.C. law and the union will respond accord-ingly,” Ervin said.

If a Labour Relations

complaint is filed, it won’t be the first time Bains has had to deal with the B.C. Labour Relations Board.

On Jan. 9, 2013 Bains assembled the hotel’s 20 food and beverage work-ers in a room at the hotel and gave each employee a letter notifying them that their services would

no longer be needed.“It is with great sad-

ness I regret to inform you that the Coast Dis-covery Inn Food and Beverage Departments will be closing as of Fri-day, Jan. 18, 2013. Your position will be finished (as) of that date. Due to economic reasons, I can no longer afford to con-tinue with this area of the hotel,” reads the letter.

Seven months later, on Aug. 15, the B.C. Labour Relations Board ruled that Bains had breached Section 54 of the Labour Relations Code because he did not give 60 days notice to the Unite Here union.

He was ordered by Leah Terai, vice-chair of the board, to pay the affected employees’

wages and benefits based on what they received in January, February and March of 2012.

Ervin said Bains still has not paid the employ-ees those lost wages. And now he’s planning to part ways with the union alto-gether by possibly clos-ing the hotel.

Mayor Walter Jakeway said that would not be surprising.

“The closure is disap-pointing, but not unex-pected, as the Tyee mall itself is having financial difficulties, and this is the lean time of year for tourists,” Jakeway said. “The 2013-2014 construction surge in Campbell River gives a false indication that the economy is all well and good. It is not. The retail/

service sectors have con-tinued to struggle. It is hoped that the (Discov-ery Inn) will re-open in the future as many citizens depend on it for employment and the DI has been a centrepiece of Campbell River for five decades.”

Meanwhile, Ervin said the hotel employees are doing everything they can to keep their jobs, and are in the process of trying to break from the union.

“The threat of closing has scared the workers to file a decertification application in the hopes of hanging onto their jobs,” Ervin said.

Bains could not be reached for comment before the Mirror went to press.

PAUL RUDANCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A 70-year-old disabled man who requires the use of a wheelchair has been banned from Qual-ity Foods after assaulting a police officer.

Paul Stevenson told the judge he’s not “a rude per-son,” but when he’s under the influence of alco-hol, the Campbell River senior reportedly disrupts

staff and patrons at Qual-ity Foods.

“He knows he’s not sup-posed to be hanging out around the front door-way,” said Crown pros-ecutor Bruce Goddard.

Stevenson was in Campbell River provin-cial court Tuesday for sentencing after being found guilty of assault-ing an RCMP officer and mischief last October. According to Goddard,

Stevenson was banned from the store, located in the Merecroft Village plaza, due to an alleged past incident, but con-tinued to go there. On May 28, 2013, Campbell River RCMP were called after Stevenson showed up again.

This time a scuffle ensued in the parking lot and Stevenson struck an officer in the eye. Steven-son told Judge Roderick

Sutton the officer was trying to handcuff his left hand, he was trying to resist and then his right hand came off the arm-rest of his wheelchair and hit the Mountie.

“I do apologize to the constable and I do see him here in court today,” said Stevenson, who defended his actions. “It was not assault. I did not purposely assault this gentleman, this police

officer.”But Goddard pointed

out that explanation was never offered at trial when Stevenson was found guilty on the two charges. The prosecutor also referred to a pre-sen-tence report which spells out how Stevenson was repeatedly told he was not allowed in Quality Foods, but went anyway due to “feelings of entitlement.”

The report also indi-

cated that Stevenson sees himself as the victim and that he maintains his innocence. Goddard also noted that Stevenson had no prior record for violence and the court had to consider his age and health. Stevenson has been in poor health since suffering a stroke. He lives near the hospi-tal to be close for various medical treatments and gets around the city in a

motorized wheelchair.Defence lawyer Doug

Marion argued that a jail sentence was not appro-priate. The judge agreed, noting the assault was at the “lower end.” He gave Stevenson a suspended sentence and placed him on one year of probation. During that time, Steven-son cannot be within five metres of Quality Foods and must take counsel-ling for substance abuse.

Advocates of a pilot project in Surrey School District elementary schools – designed to explore different ways for teachers to report a child’s academic progress – make

a good case that there are constructive alternatives to the traditional report-card approach. But we won’t give them a pass on the most contentious aspect of the project – setting aside the time-tested letter grade.

While the Utopian zeal to find a better way is commendable, this comes

perilously close to throwing out the proverbial baby with the bathwater. What’s wrong with keeping letter grades, alongside the more conscientious summaries?

Anyone who has been through our school system as a student and/or parent will recognize that the bald letter grade misses the finer points of an individual’s progress. Too often excellent work, heartening development and delightful expression is flattened, minimized, even suppressed by rigid alphabetic tyranny.

Even attempts to shade the picture with pluses and minuses are inadequate substitutes for thorough evaluation. Tests and exams are not a fail-safe measure of what a student actually knows and understands, and offer scant recognition of individual’s learning strengths and weaknesses.

And it’s frightening to contemplate how many positions of responsibility, in our 21st century world, are occupied

by people who gained their qualifications by dint of cramming, regurgitating the opinions of others without developing any facility for critical thinking, and taking tests that have long since been all but forgotten.

And yet, given the realities of that world – and the place we are preparing for our children in it – it seems unfair to deprive them of a key tool for progress.

Even given the shortcomings of a traditional letter grade, it has endured because we need a short form of evaluation, as well as more comprehensive forms.

Reform education by all means – but don’t threaten our children’s progress, or crush their expectations, through asymmetrical reform.

We find what we lose, so just get rid of that weight

We say: Reforms are welcome but we all understand the letter grade

No one sets out to become fat.Like most things in life, it’s a process

compounded by multiple factors: Poor eating habits, not enough exercise, slow metabolism, a medical condition...take your pick.

I was the kid who wore “husky” jeans. I wasn’t a fat kid, but I’ve always had thick tree-trunk like legs and I was never, ever rail-thin.

I kept active in a variety of sports, rode my bike daily, and ran around the parks and ravines surrounding our neighbour-hood.

That kept me relatively fit up to the age 20, but then it was time to “get busy and get serious” with life.

And with that, my football days came to an end, I spent more time working to pay for schooling and my car, and then I

entered my career.It has been a very rewarding career,

but it’s also one heck of a desk job too, which led to unhealthy habits: Too many donuts, too many lunch time meals sit-ting at the desk, too much to eat, big dinners with wine, late-night snacks and never, EVER, enough exercise.

That’s why I became fat and when you multiply that by years, I got really fat.

I wasn’t proud of my body, but some-how I managed to stay somewhat active which surprised a lot of people because:

a. They didn’t think I could move that quick.

b. I hadn’t dropped dead from a heart attack.

Fortunately, I did not succumb to the latter (knock on wood), but my size led to serious health issues which led to the

resolution to change.Over the last two years it’s been a big

change to become smaller, and one that hasn’t gone unnoticed by many in our fair city. Let me just say that I’m appre-ciative of all your compliments.

But what I’m also finding out is this weight-loss is not just about me.

Many others, struggling with their own weight, have stopped to ask, “What do you do?”

At first I used to joke, “Well, I take this magic blue pill...” and watch as their eyes lit up. But it’s no fun teasing people who are searching for meaningful answers and hope too.

Now I look them in their eyes and tell them the simple solution that many oth-ers told me: Calories in, calories out.

More importantly I say to do some-

thing you enjoy doing: Walking, swim-ming, biking, yoga, whatever it takes to get your heart pumping.

It won’t be easy at the start, but begin slowly and burn off the weight slowly too. You didn’t put it all on in a month and it certainly isn’t all coming off in a few weeks.

I also like the phrase: “Get rid of weight,” because we tend to find what-ever we lose.

My own goal has never to be thin, but fit. Eating right with regular exercise is just a part of daily life and I am proud of the “new me.”

I didn’t set out to become fat, but mindset now, and forever, is to never be fat again. If I can do it, you can do it too!

The recent announcement of layoffs of unionized work-ers at the New Horizons Seniors’ Care facility by Park Place should be cause for alarm for anyone who cares about our seniors, who will receive a lower quality of care.

When this company took over a seniors’ home in Dun-can they hired back very few of their workers, then claimed there was a labour shortage, and applied through the Tem-porary Foreign Workers Program to bring in workers will-ing to work for much lower wages.

But this issue is much bigger than that. This layoff should concern anyone who cares about our community, our local economy, and our society. This is an example of how the application of an anti-union political ideology can so nega-tively affect our local and our Canadian society.

The public needs to connect the dots to see who gains from this change in attitude toward unions, i.e. corpora-tions. Decent wages, good working conditions, job secu-rity, pensions etc. do not promote the corporate agenda to make maximum profits. There has been a concerted effort over the last few decades to convince the public that unions undermine our economic performance. This is not backed up by any unbiased evidence. In fact, when workers earn

better wages they spend more money, which creates more jobs and expands the economy.

Non-unionized work-ers in the private sector have been encouraged to resent unionized work-ers in the public sec-tor. Instead of trying to raise the standards for all workers, there is a clear campaign to try to drag those with decent work-ing conditions down to the lowest level, a race to the bottom.

This ideological shift has allowed corporations and right-wing govern-ments to make dra-matic changes that have resulted in a much larger gap between the richest Canadians and the rest of society. According to Statistics Canada, the top one per cent of our citi-

zens now earn an average of 10 times the average income of other workers, a massive increase over the last 30 years.

Strong evidence from Europe demonstrates that areas of higher lev-els of unionization have lower levels of poverty because of the higher floor for low-end wages and the narrower gap between the top and bot-tom wage levels.

More and more com-panies in Canada now employ mostly part time workers who receive no benefits. Some people work two or even three part time jobs to try to eke out a living, and many of them still exist below the poverty level. The irony is that while corporations earn greater and greater profits at the expense of workers, it will be more and more

difficult for people to afford the goods that the corporations produce.

A good example of corporate greed is Ikea, owned by one of the wealthiest families in the world. Yet they have locked out their union-ized employees in Rich-mond, B.C. because they would not agree to a tiered wage structure that would pay lower wages to new employees. Just how much is enough profit for an already wealthy corporation?

The middle c lass evolved because of the union movement begin-ning after the Depres-sion, and even more notably after the Sec-ond World War. We can thank unions for minimum wage laws, benefit plans, maternity leave, pensions, health and safety standards,

and even weekends to name a few achieve-ments. Unions have also promoted other decent working conditions, as well as social programs, human rights, and pub-lic services that benefit all citizens.

Unions are more important now than ever before, not just for unionized workers, but for all Canadian work-ers. The community of Campbell River needs to support the workers at New Horizons who are the latest victims of the anti-union movement, and the seniors who will suffer as a result.

Union is not a dirty word. We need to remember who benefits when people believe that.

Grant less than projectedSchool District 72’s Secretary-

Treasurer Kevin Patrick presented the Board of Education with the final grant comparison for 2013/2014. The total grant money the district received from the Ministry of Education was $87,377 lower than preliminary

projections. Enrollment numbers remained on target to the preliminary projections and a reduction in salary differential (the reduction of the average costs of teacher salaries due to retirements) was offset by an increase in special education students and the release of holdback dollars by the Ministry of Education.

I am writing on behalf of those who would like to easily get out of Tyee Plaza opposite 10th Street using the four way stop. 

As far as the traffic flow interrup-tions, more traffic is tied up by people waiting for angle parking spots that are

not immediately available.The crosswalks are another traffic

delay.  We certainly won’t get rid of the angle parking or crosswalks so why the four way stop?

School District 72 • Campbell River, B.C.

Every year, parents hear various viewpoints on the Foundation Skills Assessment. School District 72 is providing this information to explain what the Foundation Skills Assessment is and how the school district uses the information from these assessments for student learning.

What is the Foundation Skills Assessment?An annual, province-wide assessment given to all grade 4 and grade 7 students to measure basic competencies in reading, writing and numeracy. The skills tested are linked to provincial curriculum and BC performance standards. Students who require adaptations will be supported in writing the assessment; those with extensive adaptation requirements may be excused.

When is the Foundation Skills Assessment?Between January 13 to February 21. Students are given a minimum of four hours over several days to complete the assessment.

What does the School District do with the Foundation Skills Assessment?We consider and use the information as part of our Assessment For Learning cycle. This information, along with other classroom and district data, tells parents, teachers, students, and the district what our students are doing well and where further growth is needed.

Does this count towards grades?No. The Foundation Skills Assessment is not part of any report card mark or any other report from your child’s teacher or school. All Foundation Skills Assessment scores will be reported to the Ministry of Education and individual student results will be sent home before Spring Break.

Why the controversy?Some people may use the results to make comparisons or judgements about districts, schools, classes and students. Many of these comparisons will be based on small differences that are not statistically or educationally significant. For example, the Fraser Institute, which is not connected to the Ministry of Education, uses the data to create a ranking of public and private schools in the province.

Is the assessment optional?No. The assessment is required by law under the BC School Act. Principals can only excuse students due to illness, a family emergency, or extensive adaptation requirements. Principals will notify a parent or guardian prior to the assessment administration date if they intend to excuse a student from participating in one or more components. If you feel that one of these reasons apply to your child and you haven’t received notification, contact your child’s principal.

Start the new year off right...for your pets too!

Come in and find out how to slim down your overweight four legged friend.

Scores of animals across the country temporarily call shelters home. In some areas, the number of animals surrendered or brought into shelters for other reasons has reached epidemic proportions, leaving many cash-strapped shelters with inadequate supplies

and space to care for so many animals.

Although adopting animals from shelters remains one of the single best ways to help various organizations, for many animal lovers adoption is not feasible. Fortunately, there are

other ways individuals can help shelters.

Advertising

Shelters need to get the word out about their available animals. Many operate Web sites such as the BC SPCA publish photos and information about available animals. Sharing information about local shelters among your group of friends or through social media is a way to bring information about animals and shelters in need to others. It may take mere seconds to share the plight of a shelter animal or forward a photo of animals currently living in shelters. Sharing such information can improve the animals' chances of finding homes.

Make charitable donations

Shelters have limited resources and are often more than happy to take both financial donations and donations of supplies. The

next time you are purchasing a bag of food for your pet, consider purchasing an extra one and donating it to a nearby organization.

Many shelters also accept towels, linens and other items that can be used to keep animals clean and comfortable. If you are cleaning out old sheets and towels from your home, donate them to a shelter rather than tossing them into the trash.

Volunteer

Though many shelters pay their staff members, many still need and rely on volunteers. Perhaps a shelter could use assistance cleaning out cages or walking dogs?

Spay and neuter

Responsible pet owners should neuter their pets so the animals cannot reproduce. Only reputable breeders should keep their animals intact. Preventing unwanted animal pregnancies can reduce the number of animals that find their way into shelters.

Don't make pet decisions lightly

Some people get a pet on a whim without fully thinking through the level of care required for animals that may live 10 or more years. Pets require a long-term commitment, so anyone who is not ready to take on a new member

of the family should avoid doing so. Otherwise, a pet may be surrendered to a shelter and not get the life it deserved.

Pet adoption is one way to mitigate the growing problem

of overcrowded shelters. But even animal lovers who cannot adopt can still lend a helping hand.

For more information on adoption and volunteering in your area, please visit the BC SPCA website at www.spca.bc.ca.

It’s definitely flu season! People are concerned about the flu because it appears to be particularly nasty this year. Everyone I talk to seems to know someone who has suffered or is trying to get through it now. There is a flu vaccine for us, and if you were lucky enough to get it before supplies run out, hopefully it will protect you this year or at least keep your flu symptoms manageable.

What about our pets? Can they get the flu? Since 2004 cases of canine influenza have been recognized, and it appears to be spreading within North America. It’s caused by a flu virus, now called canine influenza virus, which jumped from horses to dogs. The symptoms are similar to human flu: cough, runny nose, fever, and feeling crummy. For unhealthy dogs, it may cause death.

Can we give the flu to our pets? There’s little doubt that when we are sick with the flu our pets must be getting exposed to the flu virus we shed. Fortunately, there are only a few documented cases where

a pet (cat, dog, ferret) has become ill with the flu virus that their owner had. However, the fact that

it has occurred leaves veterinarians wondering if there will be future epidemics of the flu in pets that they acquired from us. There is a vaccine for the canine influenza virus, but so far

there is none for other variants of the flu, like H1N1, for our pets.

So, what can you do to protect pets from the flu? The answer

is to follow the guidelines suggested by the Center for Disease Control; they are as follows:

If you are sick with influenza-like illness, take the same precautions with your pets that you would to keep your family and friends healthy:

• Cover your coughs and sneezes.

• Wash your hands frequently.

• Minimize contact with your pets until 24 hours after your fever  is gone.

If you suspect your pet is infected with the flu, contact your veterinarian. For most

pets, supportive care will be available, and isolation may be warranted.

Lastly, vaccinating humans with the flu vaccine is an attempt to get a whole population’s immunity elevated in order to help prevent spread of the virus and reduce clinical symptoms that require expensive hospitalization and treatment. The same principle applies to pet vaccines for other diseases, such as distemper and parvovirus and panleukopenia. If the majority of pets are up to date on vaccinations, the risk

of an outbreak is minimized, and the cost for patient care in veterinary hospitals may be reduced or eliminated. Ensure your pet’s vaccines are current.

Council spent several thousands of dollars on the Area D expansion issue last year, according to financial documents released by the city.

A report outlining how

much money from coun-cil’s contingency account was spent and what that money was spent on was issued by city staff last Friday.

In 2013, the biggest expense was $75,000 to hire a consultant to study the feasibility of the city

extending its southern boundary to take in northern Area D homes and hook them up to the city’s sewer service.

Not far behind was $50,000 for a downtown and Campbellton char-rette – a series of meet-ings to map solutions to

improving both areas. The first step of the downtown charrette, a public participation ses-sion, took place Nov. 12 and 13 at Discovery Har-bour Shopping Centre.

Council also handed out $20,005 to the Mari-time Heritage Centre and $20,000 for Spirit Square decorat ions and lighting. A further $18,201 was shelled out for mayor and council travel. In total, $247,266 was spent in 2013 from council contingency, leaving $8,234 in the account.

Council contingency exists to satisfy unex-pected funding requests that come up through-out the year after the budget has already been adopted.

During council’s finan-cial planning meeting on Dec. 9 council agreed to allocate $150,000 of the annual Gaming Fund revenues to council con-

tingency this year.Coun. Moglove sug-

gested at that meeting that council discuss adopting a policy or guideline for the use of council’s contingency.

In 2012, council tried to stay away from rely-ing on its contingency and spent just $4,000 of its $45,500 account balance. The Acces-sible Wilderness Society, which is trying to build an accessible resort at Robert’s Lake was given $600 in 2012 while the Royal Canadian Legion was awarded $400 for Remembrance Day. The big ticket item was Campbellton neighbour-hood planning opportu-nities which cost $3,000 from council contin-gency.

In 2011, council spent $97,239 of its $150,000 ba lance. The most expensive item that year was $21,869 for River-corp CEO expenses.

Concerned École Willow Point elementary parents spoke to the Board of Education at its meeting Tuesday about a lack of supervision on the playground.

The parents are requesting that board trustees consider increasing recess supervision funding for the 2014/2015 budget.

The school’s Parent Advisory Council has been working on a number of initiatives to support the school with playground supervision during recess.

O n e of those initiatives is a peer mentoring and leadership program for Grade 4 and 5 s t u d e n t s . Students are selected to be p o s i t i v e leaders around the school to help their peers and to speak French outside of class.

The students are tasked with creating new games during recess, facilitating conflict resolution on the playground, and providing guidance to their peers.

Election of trustee reps

Elections were held for trustee representation to BC Public School Employers’ Association and the BC School Trustees’ Association Provincial Council at Tuesday’s board meeting. The elected representatives for 2014 are: Ted Foster - BC Public School Employers’ Association (Alternate – Daryl Hagen)and Michele Babchuk - BC School Trustees’ Association Provincial Council (Alternate – Linda Jay)

Michael Uslan, also known as “The Boy Who Loved Bat-man” and the one who brought the superhero back to the big screen, will tell his story and feature the silver anni-versary movie screening of Batman in Campbell River.

Batman executive producer and comic book historian Uslan will share how his deter-mination and passion for comics drove him to secure the Batman film rights and produce many successful mov-ies. The Campbell River

Creative Industries Council (CRCIC) will present Uslan sharing his personal story, with a question and answer session prior to the sil-ver anniversary movie screening of the original action/thriller Batman (rated PG13). Following the movie, Uslan will be available for book sign-ing and autographs.

See Uslan Tuesday, Feb. 4 at the Tidemark Theatre. Tickets are $10.50, available at the Tidemark box office or online at www.tidemarktheatre.com . Doors open at 6:15 p.m.

Attendees are encour-aged to wear their favourite Superhero cos-tume, and there will be a prize for best dressed.

 “Michael’s visit to Campbell River is a great opportunity for the community to learn the history of this blue collar boy growing up with comics and bring-ing Batman to the big screen,” says CRCIC’s President Shannon Baikie.

 Joan Miller, INfilm Commissioner and CRCIC Director com-ments: “the story of ‘The Boy Who Loved Bat-

man’ is highly entertain-ing and inspiring. I had the opportunity to meet and hear Michael last fall while in South Korea and took a chance and invited him to celebrate the movie’s 25th anni-versary here in Camp-bell River.

“This is a wonderful event that we are pleased to bring to Vancouver Island.”

In addition to the Bat-man screening event, the CRCIC and its com-munity partners have organized a Local Super-hero contest. Visit and “like: the Local Super-hero Contest Facebook page for updates.

The Strathcona Sym-phony Orchestra’s (SSO) first concert of the year, The Russians Are Com-ing, celebrates the titans of Russian composers who have become staples in the modern world’s classical music reper-toire.

But why, you may ask, a Russian programme?

“This concert,” says Conductor Pippa Wil-liams, “came about as our tribute to the Canadian Winter Olympic Team as they make their way to

Sochi next month. They are going to a country that may be as strange to them, as it is to some of us. The SSO wanted to bridge some of that unfa-miliarity by playing mel-odies that we all know but may not have known that they come from clas-sical Russian composers. The Russians Are Com-ing is our opportunity to explore part of the Rus-sian music tradition—a powerful soundscape rich with musical tex-tures and exotic images. Moreover, it is a chance to discover something about ourselves and how

Russian compositions have flavoured our North American culture.”

The Russians Are Coming samples well-known works from the golden age of Russian classical composers such as Glière, Rimsky-Kor-sakov, Ippolitov-Ivanov, Tchaikovsky, and Mus-sorgsky who based their works on Imperial Rus-sian history and folk tales.

Early in the last cen-tury Russia produced a new wave of Russian composers, including Prokofiev, Stravinsky, and Khachaturian who

projected Russian clas-sical music into the 20th century.

The SSO also features a performance by the Campbell River Youth Orchestra (CRYO) who will play Kalinka (1860) by the composer and folklorist Ivan Petrovich Larionov. CRYO conduc-tor Blaine Waldbauer, describes the youth orchestra as “a feeder group” for the SSO. Comprised of young musicians from 9 to 16 years old, the CRYO has 23 members.

“Our goal is to provide musical training for Van-

couver Island youth—especially in strings—so they can use the youth orchestra as a stepping stone to higher musical forums.”

So much history, so varied a program, nine Russian composers, 13 memorable melodies— The Russians Are Com-ing concert is sure to sur-prise, delight and banish January grey skies.

Creating a comfort-able ambiance by seating their audience at tables, the SSO also offers a cash bar as well as Rus-sian delicacies. Perfor-mances are in Courtenay

in the Native Sons Hall: Saturday, Jan. 18 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, Jan. 19 at 2 p.m. Doors are open 30 minutes prior to the concert. Tickets for The Russians Are Coming

are $15 and are available from Blue Heron Books, and Laughing Oyster Books, or at the door. For reservations or for more information, call 250-331-0158. Campbell

Hailed for his “breath-taking virtuosity and an intelligent sense of pre-cisely what brings music to life,” Swedish-Amer-ican pianist Elias-Axel Pettersson is quickly establishing himself as a formidable soloist and chamber musician. 

The late Ralph Berkow-itz wrote “…he is a rare musician who can proj-ect his ideas from the piano directly into the hearts and minds of his audience.”

Pettersson is a Mason & Hamlin Concert Artist and has garnered prizes on the national and inter-national level.  He has been heard on national (USA) radio through KHFM and KUNM. His

performance of Liszt’s Concerto No. 1 was highly praised, and his continued work with vio-linist David Felberg and Sunday Chatter has won him accolades.  Petters-son performed the world premiere of New Mexi-can composer Michael Mauldin’s Petroglyph for Piano (2011) and cham-pions works by contem-porary composers such as Arnaud Allary, Alan Belkin, Todd Coleman, Alvin Curran, Drea Pressley Tischhauser, Ben Shemie, and Altin Volaj. Pettersson has col-laborated with various artists, including Krzysz-tof Zimowski, David Fel-berg, Guillaume Tardif, Nune Melikyan, Henk

Guittart, Emmanuelle Da Silva, and Cantor Josh Perlman.

While in town, Pet-tersson will be conduct-ing master classes with local piano students. For information, contact Shelley Roberts at (250) 923-7658.

On Saturday, Jan. 25, Pettersson will perform at the Trinity Presbyte-rian Church (on Simms

Road) at 2:30 p.m. in a concert sponsored by the Campbell River Friends of Music. His program will consist of music from Mozart, Gershwin, Liszt and Chopin. Tick-ets can be purchased by calling (250) 923-6268, or at the Visitor Infor-mation Center and can also be purchased at the door: $20 (adults) and $10 (students).

L ast Sunday, t he Campbell River Waves U15 boys’ soccer team traveled to Port Alberni to take on the Alberni Timber.

The game started with the Waves dominat-ing the play against the speedy Port Alberni Timber. When in pos-session the Waves were passing very well, and the odd time they had trouble in their own end, a pass back to keeper Hans Haagerup would ensure that the ball got cleared back to center. Although midfielders Jeffrey Lindenbach and Dylan Kruyt had mul-tiple chances on net, the Waves just couldn’t put one in. As the minutes were winding down in the first half it seemed as if it would finish score-less. It was then, in the

final seconds of the half, that striker Oscar Novak took a corner kick and sent the ball right to midfielder Torin Halvor-son who headed it past the Alberni keeper and into the net, putting the Waves up one.

The second half started with the boys once again

retaining possession of the ball and using the space to the wings effec-tively, sending many runs down the side, only to be shut down by the Alberni defense.

Later in one such attempt, wing mid-fielder, Jonah Shankar put a beautiful cross into

the middle where team-mate Josh Billy took a shot on net. As the ball flew towards the goal, an Alberni defender inter-cepted it, causing it to rebound right to forward Darian Nohr who coolly one-timed it into the net.

Soon after, a third goal for the Waves was put in by Jonah Shankar, from a strong cross by Connor Nast.

Now the Waves were real ly on f ire, and another cross from Shan-kar followed by a great header by Novak into the back of the net gave them their fourth goal. Novak later netted his third goal from a powerful shot taken outside the 18 yard box, giving the Waves a 5-0 lead.

As the game wound down, the Timber fought

The Campbell River Booster Juice Bantam A Tyees got back to work after enjoying a great holiday season. 

After spending some time away from the rink, the players who were in town resumed skating and had a memorable practice that included many Storm players and their head coach, Lee Stone.

On Jan. 4, they trav-elled south for a game against Nanaimo A Clip-pers. The carry-over from the Storm scrim-mage was apparent to

all as the Tyees com-peted very hard at both ends of the rink against their Tier 1 opponents. Unfortunately, they lost this exhibition game 5-2 but the score really didn’t reflect the overall play.

The Tyees hosted Comox Valley Chiefs (Tier 1) in an exhibition game on Saturday, Jan 11. Carson Borgfjord got the nod to start in goal for the Tyees. 

Affiliate Drew Price was in the line-up as Captain Doug Camp-bell joined the Midget Tyees for a tournament

in Kamloops. The Tyees started with lots of pres-sure but no shots on goal. The Chiefs jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead but the Tyees scored on their first shot on goal to make it 2-1.  Teams kept flying up and down the ice, trading chances and scoring goals although this one had a bit of a strange ending. The Tyees led 7-6 then scored into the empty net to make it 8-6.

After play resumed, Owen Boyd scored a short-handed goal to

It was a high-scoring but even affair between the Bantam A Tyees and the Comox Valley Chiefs on Sunday – until Campbell River broke it open in the last few minutes.

complete his hat-trick making the final 9-6 for the Tyees.

They were right back at it on Sunday, hosting the Oceanside Generals in their last Division 2 regular season game with Borgf-jord again starting in net for the Tyees.

This one wasn’t a high scoring affair but the Tyees did very well to keep their legs moving and denying the Generals easy paths to the net .

They outshot the Generals 38 to 24 but many shots were from long range. The Tyees did beat

Oceanside by a score of 3-2 to finish the regular season with a record of six wins, three losses and three ties.

Scoring this past weekend was led by Owen Boyd with three goals, two assists, Will McLean 1G, 3A; Lukas Lund 3G; Tyler Dickson, Liam Rivett and Jacob Hartley each had 1G, 2A; Drew Price and Nic Ordano 3A; Damien Rennie 2G; Brady Kratzmann 2A; Olivia Knowles, Matt Leard, Bryce Turko and Jaxon Ward 1A.

Seth Parker had a great game against Oceanside at both ends of the ice but the referees didn’t put

his number on the scoresheet this time although a few of his shot from the point did result in goal-mouth scrambles and prime scor-ing opportunities for the Booster Juice Bantam A Tyees.

Head coach Scott Kratzmann is pleased with the teams’ results and progress to date. 

“It’s important for us to give back to the community like we did before Christmas. We really appreciate Lee Stone and the Storm players as they give back to minor hockey the way they do. That inspires and motivates our players much more and far better than any speech I can give them.”

hard and attempted a break on the Waves’ net, only to be stopped by defenders Ross Rick-man, River MacDonnell, Andrew Daniels and Chayton Skye. Finally the Alberni forwards broke through and took a shot which was tipped by Wave’s defender as he tried to block it. It spi-raled up just over Waves’ keeper Hans Haagerups hands and into the net behind him, with 5 min-utes left on the clock. The game ended a 5-1 victory for the Waves.

In the past, people had different rela-tionships to ani-

mals than we do today.  This was especially

true amongst the early European settlers in this region, who were strug-gling to carve a living out of the dense Pacific rain forest.

All animals had to contribute to group survival in this harsh environment.

The Museum at Campbell River will have some exclusive photos of these pets from the past on dis-play in a temporary exhibit entitled ‘Animals Among Us’ from Jan. 23 – March 30. 

Some of the duties ful-

filled by animals in years gone by included the tasks of providing milk, meat, eggs and wool, as well as acting as protec-tors and companions. Fred Nunns, one of the earliest European set-tlers to Campbell River, kept many animals: cows, pigs, horses, poul-try, dogs and cats. 

As you will see through this photo-graphic exhibit, in many cases animals were considered important members of the family. Many early settlers lived deep in inlets and on islands and kept large numbers of cats and dogs for company. There were no local pet stores or animal rescue societ-

ies from whom to adopt pets, and an untamed wilderness at one’s door-step could lead to the adoption of many non-conventional animals.

Some of the more peculiar ones included cougar, bear, and deer. 

Many of these adop-tions were the direct result of hunting and although these animals made great pets when young, as they grew older they often had to be sent away to zoos.

The Museum has produced a charming 16-month calendar to accompany the exhibit, and they are now avail-able for sale in the gift shop. For any inquiries, call 250-287-3103.

All aboard annual model railroaders show

Get ready Campbell River – the Museum is heading toward the North Island Model Railroaders Annual Show.

The show opens on Saturday, Jan. 25, from

12 noon to 5 p.m. and continues on Sunday, Jan. 26, from 12 noon to 4 p.m.  Thousands of people have seen this show over the years and it never fails to impress.  The excitement of model trains is for kids and seniors alike. There is something for the whole family.  Incredible

displays of model railroad equipment, scenery and miniature buildings will all be available for ‘looking and learning’.  The electric Lego train will be back.

The cost is $7 per person or $20 for the whole family.  Kids under six are free. Call 287-3103 for more information.

Mounties want to talk with the person leaving “creepy” notes for a young woman who walks her dogs in the Beaver Lodge Lands.

The notes have been posted on trees and first came to police atten-tion on Jan. 7.

“This message is for a certain

young lady who owns multiple (dogs),” one of the the typed letters begins.

This particular letter was recently posted online to warn others who walk the network of trails that run parallel to Dogwood Street.

Finally, on Thursday, Campbell River RCMP issued a media release about the letters.

“While there were no threats of

harm, it would appear the author may have been secretly watching this individual for a period of time,” said Const. Don McIntosh.

“Police were able to locate the female involved and speak with her. Investigators are seeking to identify and speak with the male who left the messages.”

The letter goes into detail about the individual, presumably a man, hid-

ing in the woods while the woman and a friend were walking their dogs.

“I want to approach you and intro-duce myself. Instead, I find myself overcome by shyness and jumping off the trail, and watching you from afar,” he wrote.

In the last paragraph he tells the young woman she’s “very beautiful” and, “I do not intend for this mes-sage to scare you, as it shouldn’t. I

only hope that one day I am coura-geous enough to come out and say hello. I realize that other people who read this may find it ‘creepy,’ but you seem to be smart enough to know the difference, and frankly, it is no one elses (sic) business.”

Anyone with information about these letters should contact Camp-bell River RCMP or Const. McIntosh at 250-286-6221.

Are you a skier or snowboarder who knows someone affected by multiple sclerosis?

If you answered yes, then you should come to Ski for MS on Sunday, Jan. 26 at Mount Wash-ington Alpine Resort. A fundraiser for the MS Society of Canada, North Vancouver Island Chapter, Ski for MS is a great way to help people

affected by MS in your community and earn a fun, inspiring and free day on the slopes!

Register online at www.msski.ca or phone 250-339-0819 to register and receive an email with everything you need to get started fun-draising.

Registered participants who raise the pledge minimum for their age

group will receive a free lift pass or Nordic ski pass for Jan. 26, lunch at the Hawk Dog Stand, a Ski for MS t–shirt or toque, entry to the Ver-tical Challenge – a fun endurance event, and the chance to win some great prizes donated from throughout the community.

After a great day on the mountain, at 3:30

there will be a quick wrap up ceremony to find out how much money was raised and maybe claim a great draw prize!

The pledge minimums are: n Adult (19 – 64)

$150n Student (19 – 64)

$125n Senior (65+) $125n Youth (13 – 18)

$100n Child (7 – 12) $75Many of our partici-

pants add to the fun by creating a team made up of friends, family, or co-workers.

Show your team spirit by dressing up or dis-tinguishing yourselves

at Ski for MS – there will be prizes for the top fundraising team and best team spirit! FYI – team members are not required to stay together for the day.

If you are up on Mount Washington on Jan. 26, stop by the Ski for MS station at the base of the Hawk 6ix Pack Chairlift. They will be holding 50/50 draws throughout the day, Jet FM will be on site with great music and the Hawk Dog Stand will be donating the proceeds of sales that day to the MS Society.

Funds raised at this event will be used to:

(1) provide local pro-

grams and services for people affected by MS on North Vancouver Island including infor-mation and referral, supportive counselling, self-help groups, finan-cial assistance through our Equipment Provi-sion Program and Spe-cial Assistance Program, and the Comox MS Clinic and

(2) provide funds for our Chapter’s annual research donation.

In 2013, thanks to fantastic community support for all of their fundraising events, the local chapter donated $11,330 to MS research.

Multiple sclerosis is a chronic, debilitating dis-

ease of the central ner-vous system. Symptoms can include vision prob-lems, extreme fatigue, muscle weakness, loss of balance and coordina-tion, tingling and numb-ness, cognitive problems and partial or complete paralysis.

Canada has one of the highest rates of MS in the world: an estimated 100,000 Canadians have MS. It is most often diagnosed between the ages of 15 and 40 and affects three times as many women as men.

For more information about Ski for MS go to www.mssociety.ca/chap-ters/northvanisl or call 250-339-0819.

Raise pledges, strap on skis for MS support

A near record number of nominations are in for the 14th annual Van-couver Island Business Excellence Awards, set for Thursday, January 23, 2014 at the Vancou-ver Island Conference Centre.

“There are some amaz-ing businesses doing great things on Vancou-ver Island, and it’s excit-ing to see them come in as nominations for these awards,” says Robert MacDonald of Business Examiner Vancouver Island, which is coordi-nating the event. “This event has been celebrat-ing the best of the best in business, and success stories from Victoria to the north end of the island.

Hayes Stewart Little & C ompany Char-tered Account ants , the Chartered Profes-sional Accountants of British Columbia, and the Vancouver Island Conference Centre are Gold Sponsors of the event. Category spon-sors include RBC Royal Bank, Grieg Seafoods, Invest Comox Valley and the Nanaimo Economic

Development Society.“The Business Excel-

lence Awards has been a ‘can’t miss’ date on the calendar of events on Vancouver Island since our very first one in 1999,” adds Mac-Donald. “These events bring together some of the most successful and powerful business people on the island, and it’s a fantastic opportunity to network and get to know the owners and manag-ers of these companies.”

“Some of the success stories are simply amaz-ing.”

Did You Know. . .ICBC must pay for your massage therapy treatments?In December 2011, BC’s Court of Appeal upheld a decision that ICBC must pay for necessary massage therapy treatments when recommended by a doctor.

The Court found that massage therapy met the two requirements of a mandatory benefit payable by ICBC under Part 7 of the Insurance (Motor Vehicle) Act Regulation. First, massage therapy fits within the definition of physical therapy, making it a mandatory benefit. Second, massage therapy was a necessary treatment because it had been recommended by the injured party’s doctor as part of recovery. This decision clarifies a previous inconsistency regarding whether massage therapy costs should be paid for by ICBC. To learn more go to www.awslaw.ca

SERVE YOUR COMMUNITYON THE BOARD OF VARIANCE

Members of the public are invited to apply to serve on the Board of Variance, an independent panel of fi ve members appointed by Council to consider minor variances from the City’s Zoning Bylaw.

Appeals to the Board are generally made by homeowners or developers when compliance with a minor aspect of Zoning Bylaw (such as a side yard setback) would cause “hardship” to the applicant.

Why join the Board? This is an opportunity to play a role in land-use decision-making in Campbell River. No specifi c knowledge or qualifi cati ons are required, but an interest in civic governance and land use regulati ons is important.

The Board meets when applicati ons are received, typically 4 to 10 ti mes a year.

Criteria for membership on the Board includes being available to meeti ngs during working hours, with at least 10 days’ noti ce. Meeti ngs generally last no longer than an hour.

During a meeti ng, the Board will consider whether the applicati on is “minor” and whether “hardship” is evident, and will either deny or approve an applicati on. The Board usually visits a site, and then hears representati ons from an applicant and/or their neighbours before making a decision. City staff provide administrati ve and technical support.

The term for these positi ons is three years, starti ng April 1, 2014 through to March 31, 2017.

Questi ons? Please contact Tracy Bate, Deputy City Clerk at 250-287-5705 or email [email protected]

Informati on and applicati ons are at City Hall or atwww.campbellriver.ca

The Matriarch of our family passed on to be with her Lord, in the Campbell River Hospital on January 8, 2014. Eileen was born in the Peace River Region of Northern Alberta. She grew up in Victoria, spent her teenage years in the Comox Valley where she met and married Art Hanson.In 1959 they settled in Campbell River with 3 of their 4 children. James completed the family in 1963.After wrangling cattle for a few years on 17 acres, north of Campbell River, Mom was inspired to develop a mobile home park, Forest Glen. Mom never lost the ability or drive to create or start new things. She loved crafts, painting, gardening, garage sales and especially her family and extended family. The littlest ones were her delight.Mom was an excellent cook; large family dinners of up to 30 were the norm. Wintering in Arizona with friends and relatives made for some great stories when they returned in the Spring. Mom's travels took her to Norway to research her "roots". Returning home she spent many months compiling the information into a Family History book.Mom held a positive outlook on life, refused to give up or buckle under pressure and was as "tough as nails". She survived a liver transplant at 66 years of age, a heart valve replacement 2 years later and outlived 2 husbands.Predeceased by her parents, her husband Arthur, second husband Leslie Sanderson and her brother Richard.Mom is survived by her 4 children, Chuck (Marie) Hanson, Shelley (Bill) Gereluk, John Hanson and James (Tammy) Hanson, her grandchildren, Robert (Kate) Hanson, Gordon (Jill) Hanson, Richard (CarrieLynn) Gereluk, April (Jeremy) Shirran, Sherilyn (Brandon) Benbrook, Timothy, Shelley, Melissa and Jennifer Hanson and Sierra Shaw, great grandchildren, Alex, Jack, Summer, Lucas, Carter, Sydney, Ben, Ava, Clarissa, Shaylynn, Deegan, Daelin and Ashton.Also her brother Mel (Marg) Bacon of Victoria, sisters Shirley (Del) Christiansen of Victoria, Dhorea (Javier) Sanchez of La Paz Mexico and their families.The family thanks Dr. Baerg, the third floor nurses and the Home Support Team for their outstanding care.A Memorial will be held on Saturday, January 18, 2014 at 1:00 pm at Christian Life Fellowship at 445 Merecroft Road.In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Campbell River Hospital Foundation.

It's time for aWINTER DRIVING check-up!

WayneFREE 19 Point Inspection

2014 Infi niti Q50 challenges the old orderInfiniti has had a bit of an identity crisis over the past year with a wholesale change in the way it names its prod-ucts. Gone is the JX crossover, it’s called the QX60 now and the G 37 sedan has been replaced with the Q50 sedan. Q signifies for cars and QX for crossovers or SUVs. The outgoing G37 was already a very worthy on-road performer but a bit too simplistic in the inside. Now, Infiniti has taken things up a notch with the Q50, adding a dynamic look, sumptuous interior and class leading technology.

LooksIt could be argued that the current BMW 3 Series and Mercedes C-Class are a bit conservative, while this Q50 and the major competitor, Lexus IS, are much edgier. This is especially true with the front grille. The rest of the Q50 is nicely sculpted, with flowing lines and an almost elegant rear end. Sold as a base model, sport trim, all wheel drive (AWD), premium, and even a hybrid, there is a broad market for this sedan. Starting at $37,500 and ramping up to the AWD sport model at $49,950, there is a substantial discount with the Q50 when you compare it to a similarly equipped BMW. The base model comes with 17-inch wheels but most of the higher trim levels are equipped with 19-inch wheels. The car seen here is the AWD premium model starting at $43,400.

InsideThe Q50 centre console is very attractive with two screens placed for radio functions and the second for the

navigation ($1,400 option) and backup camera. The way the lower screen is incorporated is first rate; it looks like a high quality iPad that sits flush with the dash, while the higher screen is recessed for easier use in bright light. The only problem with this system is the time it takes to boot-up when you start the car over 30 seconds to access the radio and other features. Most people will buy the sport model ($47,495) or the premium trim ($43,400) to get heated leather seats, Bose stereo, backup camera with around view cameras, and power tilt and telescopic steering to name a few additional features. The base model is a price leader but expect to buy the premium model or above to get the car well equipped. In comparison, the $53,800, 300hp BMW 335iS AWD is much more expensive than many of the top Q50 trim levels.

DriveThe latest trend is to include a turbo-charged 4-cylinder engine as the base power plant in most German compact luxury sedans. This Q50 is bucking the trend and sticking with the 3.7L V6 they had in the previous G37 with a powerful and smooth 328hp. The transmission is a 7-speed automat-ic that puts the power to either the rear wheels, or all wheels, depending on the trim selected. Most Canadians will

opt for the AWD model, which is a good choice due to the higher level of interior amenities.In addition, the Q50 is the first car to have a steer-by-wire system that is customizable and this system is optional on the AWD models and standard on the sport versions of the Q50. Direct Adaptive Steering has its critics but for me, the Q50 feels like it is an extension of the driver, moving through corners with ease and comfort with just the

slightest movement of the steering wheel. Handling is enhanced thanks to a stiffer chassis and the rear suspen-sion has been adjusted. The downside to equipping the Q50 with a V6 is the amount of fuel it burns in comparison to the turbo 4-cylinder offerings from the German competition. Rated at 11.1L/100km in the city and 7.3L on the highway for the AWD equipped model. There is a hybrid version available that drops the consumption down to 7.0L/100km in the city and 5.0L on the highway but it is a premium offering with a starting price of $47,000.

VerdictThe benchmark in the premium com-pact sedan market has been the BMW 3 Series but the gap is narrowing. This new Q50 looks great, has a wonder-ful interior, power to spare and solid

handling dynamics. On price, the BMW 328i AWD is the closest and starts at $46,200 but is equipped with a 241hp 4-cylinder. The direct competitor on power is the much more expensive 335is AWD. The Lexus IS350 AWD is another premi-um offering from Japan, and it starts at a very competitive $44,000. As much as the Japanese automakers like to chal-lenge the German makers, they really end up competing with each other. Yes, this is a worthy car but the one thing you cannot factor into the buying decision is the badge appeal that storied brands like Mercedes, BMW and Audi provide.

Safety Tip:When extreme winter road conditions hit, it’s a good idea to think about whether you even need to get behind the wheel. If you have the option, consider public transit or carpool with some who has a vehicle prepared for the conditions. Also consider

leaving for work just a little later to allow crews to clear the roads.
