Rivercorp’s chief economic offi-cer says the organization needs more staff in order to attract the industry that will get Campbell River’s economy booming again.
Vic Goodman says Rivercorp is looking to add two new positions to its staff – an economic devel-opment officer with a salary of $53,663 per year and a develop-ment researcher at a price of $41,111 a year.
The economic development offi-cer would introduce a full-scale business and retention program focused on nurturing and sup-porting existing businesses in Campbell River.
“It’s dedicated work because you have to go out and personally talk to them (businesses), you can’t rely on surveys,” Goodman says. The economic development research analyst would assemble information and materials as well as identify specific businesses and targeted industry sectors.
“If we have the researcher to do the background work it frees

Several companies have expressed inter-est in Catalyst’s for-mer Elk Falls mill site despite some uncer-tainty surrounding the property.
Vic Goodman, chief operating officer of
Rivercorp, the city’s economic development body, said the organiza-tion has been working hard to re-populate the site with good indus-trial players.
“Lots of companies have come to look at the site,” Goodman said. “Over the last quar-ter I’ve probably been
involved with at least 10 meetings where peo-ple came here (to look at the site). I work with something related to the Catalyst site every day.”
Goodman said there are at least 13 options being considered for the mill site, but added he can’t disclose what
they are due to confi-dentiality agreements.
“I can say the proj-ects we’re looking at would be a tremendous benefit to the city as a tax base,” he said.
Complicating things though is Catalyst’s status under creditor protection through the Companies’ Credi-
tor Arrangement Act, which it applied for at the end of Janu-ary. Catalyst obtained creditor protection after it failed to reach a deal with the union workers at its Crofton mill by a Jan.31 dead-line. The company has said it will continue operations as usual at its mills in Crofton, Port Alberni and Pow-ell River during the restructuring process but Goodman said he’s not sure the effect it could have on trying to sell off its property.
“We’re not sure how it impacts on what we’re trying to accom-plish,” Goodman said. “It’s all new to us and we’re trying to under-stand the implications of that.”
But despite the uncer-tainty, Goodman is confident the site will attract a new industry.
“The for mer Elk Falls mill site is one of the best – if not the best – available indus-trial site on the West Coast of North Amer-ica because of all the infrastructure that’s
already been put in by Catalyst, all the per-mits are there, it has its own water access, its own deep water dock – all the things you’d need to take advantage of,” Goodman said. “It’s an absolutely fab-ulous site.
Goodman says which-ever business does take over the site, it will be cleaner than Catalyst: “We’re trying very hard to make sure the companies we’re trying to attract have a much greener footprint than the mill ever had.”

up my role to be able to focus on the primary job of advancing the economic development agenda,” Goodman says.
But at last week’s city budget meeting, Good-man had difficulty pre-senting his budget to council and articulat-ing what he was asking for. Goodman forgot to add last year’s budget figure ($492,000) with the increase he wants for 2012 ($292,625), leav-ing council confused as to what total figure Goodman wanted from the city.
“This was a foolish mistake and I take full responsibility for it,” Goodman said. “My mistake resulted in a confusing exchange with Mayor Jakeway.”
A day later, Goodman sent a memo to the city asking for $784,625 for Rivercorp’s 2012 bud-get.
“The city has never had a fully-staffed eco-
nomic development office and the 2012 Rivercorp budget was designed to fill these gaps,” Goodman says. “When you look at the city’s overall budget it amounts to two per cent of the city’s over-all budget for economic development, Tourism Campbell River and the Visitor’s Centre to go out and promote the city and grow it. When you look at it from that perspective I think it’s a reasonable invest-ment.”
Goodman says the two new staff posi-tions are vital in order for the organization to accomplish its goals.
In 2012 Rivercorp plans to investigate “generational eco-nomic engines” – industries that could serve the community for generations, more specifically, g reen energy options such as tidal and biomass (related to forestry)
technologies. Rivercorp also plans
to take advantage of the city’s new Agricul-tural Plan.
“There are many things in the Agricul-tural Plan we can look at beyond the food sec-tor,” Goodman says. He said blueberries, for example, could be grown for the fruit itself or for the skin, which contains ingre-dients such as anti-oxidants that could be extracted and sold to health stores. The blueberry could even be valuable to a cos-metic company for its colouring.
Rivercorp also plans to work with GeoSci-ence BC to undertake an aerial survey of the North Island to attract mining investment.
Goodman also says Rivercorp will com-plete the Downtown Revitalization Plan, which Rivercorp failed to produce under the
previous CEO and as consequence, had to give back $43,000 to the city. The plan is aimed at making downtown more attractive and would set a vision to determine what type of business ventures to pursue.
Rivercorp, in part-nership with Tour-ism Campbell River, also plans to start a regional asset inven-tory which will lay out how many hotels, bed and breakfasts, whale watching operations, etc. are in the Camp-bell River region. Riv-ercorp is also consid-ering incorporating a hotel room tax, which Goodman says could be a very effective way of generating additional revenue to put towards tourism.
“In 20 years, Camp-bell River is going to look completely differ-ent,” Goodman says. “The economy will be booming.”

And look all the way to the back teeth. See brown teeth or reddened gums? Or maybe a bad smell? There shouldn't be. Pets' teeth should be clean and white and the gums should be nice and pink and even. If not, there's a problem. And it's not just an esthetic problem; it's a health problem.
Oral disease is the most frequently diagnosed health problem for pets. An astounding 80 percent of dogs and 70 percent of cats show signs of oral disease by age 3, according to the American Veterinary Dental Society (AVDS). Oral disease begins with a build up of bacteria in the pet's mouth. Combine that with saliva and food debris and plaque develops. Plaque is the most important substrate in the development of periodontal disease. The inflammation and destruction and pain that accompanies periodontal disease results from the direct action of bacteria and their by-products on periodontal tissues as well as the indirect activation of the pet's immune response. Left untreated, periodontal disease causes red, swollen and tender gums, receding gums, bleeding, pain and bad breath. If left untreated, periodontitis can lead to tooth loss.
The inflammation and infection associated with periodontal disease may damage other organs such as the heart, liver, and kidneys, or lead to other serious health problems.
These teeth need to be closely examined and professionally cleaned by a licensed veterinarian or a supervised and trained veterinary technician.
The disease process is under the gums; this is where the bacteria are causing the inflammation that results in periodontitis and pain. However, access to the subgingival area of every tooth is impossible in an unanesthetized canine or feline patient. Removal of dental tartar only on the visible surfaces of the teeth has no effect on a pet's health, and provides a false sense of accomplishment. The effect is purely cosmetic. Pets need to be anesthetized.
Anesthesia allows us to examine all surfaces of all teeth in a safe and thorough manner. All subgingival areas, where the real problems are, can be properly evaluated using a periodontal probe and then thoroughly cleaned using ultrasonic scalers and sharp metal hand instruments. There can be significant dental or periodontal disease that can only be discovered with examination under anesthesia. After all the plaque and tartar are removed, the teeth get a final polish to help eliminate any grooves on the teeth that could harbour future bacteria, in effect slowing down the recurrence of periodontitis. We may discuss particular diets that can help as well.
Pet owners should look for warning signs of oral disease. This include the following: 1. Brown or yellow staining of the teeth
2. Bad breath 3. A change in eating or chewing habits 4. Pawing at the mouth 5. Depression 6. Weight loss 7. Drooling
If you suspect your dog or cat has a potential oral problem, please make an appointment to visit us. Our veterinary team is fully trained and continue to remain current in the field of pet dentistry.
We're committed to your pet's oral health, so remember, just lift the lip!

Georg e Andrews knows all about saddle-sore.
“When you get off the bike, you can’t even sit down,” says the 82-year-old, recalling his 1975 cross-country bicycle journey.
He’s hoping the Drag-ons also know what it’s like to feel muscle pain in the backside and inner thighs.
“I could never find the right (seat). So, when I came home, I started making it,” he tells three producers from the hit CBC-TV show Dragons Den.
The trio, including executive producer Tracie Tighe, were at the Coast Discovery Inn on Wednesday. They were back in Campbell River to hear pitches from about a dozen inventors and business people who are hoping to make it onto this year’s show.
“ I ’ v e i n v e s t e d about $140,000,” says Andrews, a Courtenay resident and owner of Gabs Bicycle Sad-dle. “I’m thinking (of asking) somewhere between $75,000 and $100,000. That would ease my expenses a
little bit.”The premise of the
show is to elicit invest-ment from the Dragons; five wealthy Canadian entrepreneurs looking for big capital gains by offering their cash and expertise to the pitch-men and women.
“We’re going to say it’s the best bicycle seat ever…?” Tighe asks.
“It is,” Andrews replies with confi-dence.
The producers head out on a Canada-wide tour each year, seeking new ideas, both practi-cal and goofy, to bring to the Dragons Den.
It will be a few weeks before the fledgling entrepreneurs hear if they’ve made the cut for the fall season, to be taped in Toronto April 12 to May 13.
Even if they don’t make it, the initial experience of being questioned by the pro-ducers – similar, but not quite as grueling, as the grilling they’ll face from the Dragons – is a good one.
“I’ve watched the show and my friends told me I should be on there with my Swin-key,” says Courtenay golf pro Brian Ben-
dictson, who’s created a “golfer’s toolbox” of aids to improve a duf-fer’s game.
“Just listening to them has already helped me get my (financial) numbers in order.”
And getting the right numbers is key to getting the Dragons’ attention.
That’s what Annette Magled of Salt Spring Island found out. She started out by asking for a $250,000 invest-ment in her company, Vida Grains, which makes a variety of healthy cereals.
The producers are given samples to taste and they nod their heads in approval with each spoonful.
But then Tighe points out there’s already been a couple healthy cereal makers on the show, including Holy Crap from the Sun-shine Coast, which got a Dragons’ deal and is now a multi-million dollar company.
Tighe asks what the money will be used for and Magled replies it will be used to rebrand the products and to try and get national distri-bution. The products are already sold in 15 health food stores, but
that’s not enough to impress the Dragons.
“You’re asking for way too much money to go in front of the Dragons,” says Tighe. “You need to start sell-ing – get some orders.”
Magled agrees and says she will re-think her numbers.
As for Andrews, he’s sold about 300 bicycle seats from his home-based business. Metal parts for the seat are made in Vancouver and then they’re assembled in his basement where his wife sews the cov-ers.
That makes pro-ducer Katie Cumby wonder why Andrews has invested so much money in the com-pany? He explains the cash went to create pat-ents in Canada and the U.S., and other funds were wasted on compa-nies who claim to help new inventors.
T h a t ’ s a s t o r y the producers have heard many times, yet Andrews is not deterred and tells about another long bicycle journey he did from Inuvik to Calgary in 55 days.
Tighe just smiles and asks the octogenarian, “Have you ever heard of taking the bus?”

KRISTEN DOUGLASCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
C o u n c i l w a n t s answers from city staff as to how a con-troversial pole peeler plant ended up so close to a residential neighbourhood.
Three Duncan Bay Road area residents blasted the city at Tuesday’s council meeting, demanding why the pole peeler w a s b r o u g h t i n despite their opposi-tion.
“That 1998 petition, stating we were all against industrial zoning in our neigh-bourhood, what hap-pened to it?” asked Tracey Deller, the owner of Blue Spruce Home Park which is next door to the plant.
“Did anyone even look at it? Did anyone even check how much of a majority signed?
“I’ve been told by many of you ‘that was what the council of the day did’. Well you are all the council of the day today and you’ve got to fix this. You inherited all of it – the good and the bad.”
Residents are frus-trated by the plant because of the high-pitch screech the debarker emits as it peels the logs.
The plant, owned by Northern Pressure Treated Wood, began operating at 5301 Dun-can Bay Road on Jan.
23 and nearby neigh-bours say since then, their quality of life has been ruined.
Homeowners say the plant has destroyed their property values and the rural area has become a place where no one wants to live anymore.
C o u n . C l a i r e Moglove said she recently drove up and down Duncan Bay Road and listened to the pole plant in dif-ferent spots along the way.
“I can appreciate your con-c e r n s , ” Moglove said.
“I think the three d e l e g a -t i o n s h a v e m o s t l y a s k e d substan-tive ques-t i o n s and I do b e l i e v e t h e y d e s e r ve an answer. Could we get a staff report with answers to those questions?”
Deller said neigh-bours tried to get answers from the city last year before the plant went in, but to no avail.
“The city was closed mouthed about the pole plant, and we were left in the dark,” Deller said.
“Why was the city so intent on getting
him (Mike McCol-lough, vice-president of Northern Pres-sure Treated Wood) in? Was it the tax dol-lars?”
Residents are also concerned about road safety on Duncan Bay Road.
“The other issue is the logging trucks going around the 90 degree cor ner on Duncan Bay Road,” Corinne Matheson, owner of Mystic Woods Landscape Design on nearby Gordon Road, told
council. “ M a n y
c i t i z e n s have been forced off the road and have n e a r l y been hit f r o m s e m i -t r u c k s and log-g i n g trucks.”
A lo g -g i n g truck en
route to the pole plant earlier this month was involved in an accident when its long load of logs side-swiped a car, owned by Gordon Road resi-dent Diane Matheson, parked on the side of the road.
“I drive down Dun-can Bay Road nearly every day and do so with my heart in my throat until I am safely around that cor ner,” said Iris
Paruch, who lives in Blue Spruce Home Park.
“I have been told that one of my neigh-bours had to back up the hill until he was past the entrance to the plant because the pilot car did not go up and stop traffic.”
Mayor Walter Jake-way said he had driven up the same road five times and on the fifth try he had to back up the road as well.
Coun. Andy Adams suggested the city look into getting a report from the RCMP into safe passage of the road.
In the meantime, Peter Wipper, city clerk, confirmed the pole plant does violate the public nuisance bylaw and as a conse-quence, the owner has hired an independent sound consultant to come up with noise abatement options.
The deadline for the report is Feb. 24 and Wipper said the owner is on track to meet that deadline.
Wipper added the city has received around 45 complaints about the level of noise coming from the pole plant.
In the end, council passed a motion to direct staff to come back with a report, in time for the next council meeting, with answers to questions posed by the delega-tions.
Pole peeler critics may finally get some answers

Dr. Chris H. Dennis, Inc.Dental implants are now the standard of practice to replace missing teeth. No longer do we have to reduce the teeth on either side of a missing tooth; it is still required in order to fabricate a bridge. A dental implant permanently and predictably restores esthetics and function without jeopardizing the rest of your dentition. In 2012, Dr. Dennis will be attending Dr. Carl Misch’s International Implant Institute’s Program in Toronto to become a Fellow in the Misch International Implant Institute and a Fellow in the International Congress of Oral Implantologists. Let Dr. Dennis help you with all your dental implant needs.

OpinionOpinionWHO WE ARE: The Campbell River Mirror is published every Wednesday and Friday by Black Press Ltd., 104-250 Dogwood St., Campbell River, B.C. V9W 2X9. Telephone: 250-287-9227; Fax: 250-287-3238. EDITOR: Alistair Taylor
The new provincial budget is among the most restraint-minded handed down by a provincial government since the 1980s.
That’s the word from Bob Plecas, who should know. He was a deputy minister in the Bill Bennett Social Credit government of the mid-1980s, one which brought down the infamous “restraint” budget in 1983. That prompted the Solidarity
movement and brought the province perilously close to a general strike. Plecas was in the budget lockup in Victoria on Tuesday. Now retired, he is a regular commenter on provincial affairs. Few people know
more about how the provincial government works.Finance Minister Kevin Falcon introduced
the budget Tuesday afternoon. It contains a few surprises, but no major shifts in policy. The current deficit is now projected at $2.5 billion, down a bit from $3 billion. Medical Service Plan premiums are on the rise again — 22 per cent in four years.
There is no HST relief for people who wish to do home renovations, except for seniors. It’s too bad it won’t be extended to everyone, at least until the PST returns next April 1. It would act as a boost to the economy. The $10,000 grant to first-time home buyers is a welcome and surprise addition. First-time buyers should look at prices carefully, and see if the
grant will allow them to buy. There is no boost to the education budget, other than $165 million to address classroom composition. While this is necessary due to a court ruling that went against the government, the lack of a funding boost will likely anger teachers, who want a 15 per cent pay raise over three years.
Falcon also stated that the final increase to the carbon tax will go ahead as scheduled on July 1. However, he signalled that the tax will be reviewed, and it is possible that it could be eliminated.
The government focus on restraint is necessary, but it must examine how taxes impact individuals and the environment.

Just like Rivercorp, I want more money too
We say: A few surprises but no major shifts in policy
This is in response to the “saving” of the Sports-plex.
I am not sure who is more clueless here, the towncouncil, towns people or you as a media outlet. Thistown is in a financial crisis. To pretend that none ofthe city brass was aware that the old Catalyst mill wasgoing after a tax reclassification is a blatant lie, it hasbeen common knowledge for a year. While Rome wasburning our former mayor was growing plants on theroof of city hall, give me a break already.
I for one am opposed to a tax increase to supportany institution that can not justifiably be salvaged. AllI can do is be thankful that the new arena was neverbuilt a few years back. I am having a hard time justify-ing staying in this town with their hide their head inthe sand mentality that many have here. I and manylike me now work in Alberta and bring our coin backhere, but not to see it poured down the drain. The viewis nice as is the climate, but it is also nice in alot ofother locations of BC and the continent for that mat-ter.
I am not sure where you expect the money to keepcoming from. If you as the editor read a paper andshared with your readership the crisis that Ontario isfacing and this country may be facing shortly perhapscommon sense would prevail.

I need to ask for a lot more money.Oh, I know the powers that be who
control the purse strings aren’t going to be happy with my request.
They’ll point out that revenues have never fully recovered from the recession and other costs just keep going up as well.
I do know this, all too well.Nevertheless, I think it’s perfectly
sensible to ask for an outrageous wad of cash, because I know I’m worth it. And if they can’t see the value in wheeling over a wagon load of loot to my desk, I only need to point out that I’m not the only one wanting.
There is, in fact, a perfect example right here in our fair city of another organization asking for hefty raise because, frankly, they think they’re
worth it too.I’m talking about Rivercorp.That’s the economic “arm” of the
city which has a great name, even though few outside its boardroom really know what it does.
Excuse me, Rivercorp is respon-sible for tourism and the visitor’s information centre – the latter ripped from the clutches of the chamber of commerce, but that’s an old story.
Tourism, however, is not the reason Rivercorp CEO Vic Goodman is ask-ing for $292,000 more on top of the $535,000 it received last year from the city.
What is really needed, Goodman told city councillors, are two more employees: an economic develop-ment officer at $53,663 a year and a
development researcher at $41,111 a year.
Now it’s been a while since I last skipped math class, but somehow I don’t think that adds up to almost 300-grand.
I’m also a little sketchy on what a development researcher is or what they do.
And, please correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t it Goodman’s job to act as the city’s economic develop-ment officer? Or does that not fall under his job description and annual $107,000 taxpayer-funded salary?
I’m confused. Council’s confused. And even Goodman couldn’t quite explain what all the money’s for. Great, now that we’re all on the same page, let’s try to sort out this mess.
First, the city needs to cut $3.6 mil-lion from this year’s budget.
Second, Rivercorp has been suck-ing money from the city for 12 years and I’m hard pressed to think of a single significant enterprise it has attracted to Campbell River.
Third, do we need Rivercorp?Why not hire one good economic
development officer who can suggest ways to make this city more attrac-tive to current and new business? I promise you, he or she won’t cost almost $800,000.
And all I ask for this advice is a mere token, let’s say 50 grand, because I know I’m not getting that much from my employer.

City council passed the city’s new com-munity plan Tuesday night despite several objections from stake-holders and the com-munity.
T h e S t r a t h c o n a Regional District, a First Nation council, and Quinsam Heights residents are among the groups that have criticized the Sustain-able Official Commu-nity Plan.
“Campbell River’s ‘sustainability’ plan is not sustainable,” said Jim Abram, regional district director for Area C (Quadra).
“In its current form the plan is unaccept-able. The plan proposes to locate high-density sub-divisions in Men-zies Bay and in Jubi-lee Heights. These are unsustainable because of the extensive dis-
tances from Campbell River’s centre...this plan would actually increase greenhouse gas emissions.”
Brian Kelly, admin-istrator of the We Wai Kai/Cape Mudge Band Council also took exception to the plan.
“ T h e d o c u m e n t seems to provide a great deal of protec-tionism for the down-town core of the city to the detriment of other areas including First Nations lands,” Kelly said.
The provincial Agri-cultural Land Com-mission also expressed concerns.
“As the plan appears to include provisions that run the risk of inconsistency with the Agricultural Land Commission Act, it is important that changes be made to the plan,” said Roger Cheetham, regional planner with the land commission.
But despite the dissat-isfaction, council went ahead and adopted the Sustainable Official Community Plan this week. Council had to adopt the plan by Feb. 28 if it wanted to recover $160,000 the city spent on creating the plan.
Coun. Andy Adams said he struggled with the decision because he understood Quin-sam Heights residents’ concern with a rec-ommended change in zoning of their proper-ties.
“I like to put it in the context of ‘how would I feel if I was a property owner and for some reason I missed the public open houses or didn’t realize it would affect me’ – I would want to be consulted,” Adams said. “This is a real concern for a lot of people, I really struggle with this. I’m torn on a philosophical
basis but I appreciate the financial situation we’re in.”
Mayor Walter Jake-way admitted he had heard from people con-cerned with the plan but hadn’t said any-thing because of the time crunch. Council first received a draft of the 384-page plan on Jan. 10, then had to rush the plan through first and second read-ing and then a public hearing on Feb. 8.
“I’ve held back,” Jakeway said. “I’ve had complaints but I’ve held back because of time constraints and I know it’s a living docu-ment so we can always go back and change it.”
Before adopting the plan, council did make some minor amend-ments, mostly with wording.
Council took out wording in the plan that weakened protec-
tion of ocean views from residential homes on the ridge above the Island Highway.
“We have a bylaw and it was painful to get to and I think for the most part it satisfies the con-cerns of people on the ridge and the people behind it,” Adams said.
Coun. Mary Storry agreed and wanted to retain the bylaw as is.
“It was a long pro-cess with a lot of pub-lic input and it’s a very complicated measure-ment and I don’t want it to be re-written so that it can be misconstrued again,” she said.
The Sustainable Offi-cial Community Plan sets the vision for the community for the next 50 years and includes sustainable principles as well as the Master Transportation Plan, the Agricultural Plan, and the city’s Energy and Emissions Plan.

The Communities in Bloom committee will not compete in this year’s international competition if the city cuts its parks staff.
Despite the success of the program – the city
won the national compe-tition in the 20,001-50,000 population category last year – Communities in Bloom puts a strain on the city’s budget. The committee is looking for $26,000 from the city to compete but council is considering not fund-ing the program to help
chip away at a $3.6 mil-lion 2012 budget deficit.
The city is also con-templating cutting hor-ticulture by 50 per cent; eliminating grass trim-ming and manual mow-ing in parks; and cut-ting one park specialist position.
Nigel Lambeth, chair of the Communities in Bloom Committee, said if council does elimi-nate its parks staff, it would be hard for the city to recover.
“These cuts are, at best “band-aid solu-tions”,” Lambeth said “I beg to ask the question what happens to these under-maintained pub-lic areas next year after one year of neglect.”
Lambeth said if it comes down to one or the other, he would rather the city use the money from the Communities in Bloom budget to keep up maintenance levels in city parks and public spaces.
“If council chooses to cut the parks staffing levels, we as a commit-tee will choose not to compete in Communi-
ties in Bloom at the international level in 2012,” Lambeth said. If the city does not compete, it can be non-evaluated for two years while keeping its rank-ing and eligibility to compete, as long as the city competes in the third year.
“We would use that option but would still ask to remain a city committee and request a budget of $2,000,” Lam-beth said. “This would allow us to continue with both residential and business recogni-tion.”
Lambeth stressed it would not be the com-mittee’s first choice to not compete.
“In these times when the city is trying to attract new people and business to Campbell River, Communities in Bloom helps to pres-ent our city in the best way possible,” Lambeth said. “Many people have worked very hard to keep our city look-ing how it is and we feel it is imperative to not move backwards.”

The Association of BC Forest Professionals would like to welcome its newest members who have all passed the rigorous registration exam. These new Registered Professional Foresters (RPFs) and Registered Forest Technologists (RFTs) have the extensive knowledge, experience and skills to manage BC’s forests on behalf of the public.
British Columbia has traditionally been synony-mous with forestry and today this industry is still one of the cornerstones of our economy, espe-cially in many rural communities which strongly value and support timber harvesting. With over two-thirds (60 million hectares) of the provincial land mass covered in forest we can count on a healthy industry for many more years.
B.C. has more than 110 lumber mills, over 70 with a capacity of more than 40 million board feet per year; 27 veneer, plywood and OSB (oriented strand board) mills, eight pellet mills, 18 pulp mills (six of which are also paper mills) and over 80 other primary processing mills such as chips, shake and shingle, pole, and log manufacturers.
The forestry sector has a deep pool of skilled professionals and a highly trained workforce. Altogether the industry employs well over 50,000 well paid employees, often the life-blood of small towns. B.C.’s forest sector is definitely starting to recover from the last decade’s downturn. Since 2009, over two dozen mills have announced they are re-opening or adding shifts. The importance of this industry to B.C. is demonstrated by the fact that 40% of the prov-ince’s regional economies are based on forestry activities, in more than 7,000 businesses.
Western Forest Products include timber harvesting, reforestation, sawmilling logs into lumber and wood chips, and value-added remanufacturing in their product line. The company’s 3,000 employees are an integral part of WFP. They are known for their knowledge of the fibre base, skills in product manufacturing and dedication to customer service as well as their commitment to safety, community and environmental values.
It was good news for Ladysmith when the company reopened the mill. 100% of the product generated will be shipped to China.
One reason for growth in the industry is the Asian market. International buyers know that B.C. is a stable supplier of high-quality wood products; we can provide timber supply security. This secure supply, coupled with the fact our spruce, pine, fir, hemlock and balsam fibre bas-kets are among the richest in the world makes B.C. extremely attractive.
The B.C. brand of wood products is well estab-
lished globally with market-leading shares in key countries such as China, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. B.C. is also looking to be the first major country that deals in softwood lumber to estab-lish its products in the India marketplace. Work-ing with the federal government and industry, the Province has strengthened and diversified the B.C. forest sector by increasing market demand for softwood lumber throughout Asia.
The global demand for bio-products from the forest is predicted to reach $200 billion a year. Renewable fuels, plastics, and chemicals for the pharmaceutical and food industries can potentially be manufactured by running wood fibre and residues through bio-refinery.
B.C. has taken steps to make it easier for the non-lumber sector to source supplies of lower quality fibre. This includes fibre supply licences to cut to use logging debris that is left behind on landings and roadsides.
Taking care of this natural abundance is critical. An amazing statistic is the fact B.C.
has planted more than six billion trees since reforestation programs began in the 1930’s, and is on track to plant its seven billionth tree in 2013/14. We plant an average of 200 million trees each year. B.C. produces
more wood products certified to environmental standards than any other region in the world and has 53 million hectares certified to one of three internationally recognized sustainable forest management certification standards.
Growth now and in the future requires a solid foundation. B.C. created the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations to deal with increasing demands and pressures on the land base by taking a more integrated approach to managing B.C.’s natural resources. BC Hydro launched a two-phase Bioenergy Call for Power. Phase one has helped advance bioenergy development in Kamloops, Castlegar and Prince George, while phase two has done the same for Chetwynd, Fort St. James, Fraser Lake and Merritt.
B.C. has also passed the Wood First Act to promote and encourage a cultural shift that will make wood the first choice for construction in the commercial and institutional sectors as well as residential.
The future looks very bright for this most iconic of British Columbia industries.

Grieg Seafood is facing nine charges
PAUL RUDANCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
A Campbell River-based fish farm com-pany is facing nine charges in regard to the drowning deaths of 52 sea lions and one
seal.Grieg Seafood B.C.
claims the drownings – at three different farm sites between July 2009 and October 2010 – were accidental and none have occurred since at their 21 fish farms.
“We were very sur-prised to learn that the DFO (Fisheries and Oceans Canada) have filed charges against us for incidents that we ourselves reported
back in 2010,” said Stewart Hawthor n, Grie g’s mana ging director, in a news release. “We believe the charges are unfair and unfounded.”
The charges refer to the drowning of 52 California sea lions and one harbour seal at Grieg farms located in Nootka Sound, on the west coast of Van-couver Island.
T h e i n c i d e n t s occurred at Concep-
tion Point, Atrveida Point and Williamson Passage.
All the deaths were reported to DFO by Grieg Seafood.
“We were very sad-dened by these acci-dental drownings,” said Hawthorn.
“As soon as the first incidents were discov-ered we began imple-menting and optimiz-ing various innovative marine mammal man-agement initiatives to
prevent further occur-rences.
“There have been no accidental drownings at any of our farms since mid-2010. We are very proud of that record and believe it shows our commitment to farming responsi-bly.”
The company has yet to enter pleas to the charges and are due to appear in Gold River provincial court on May 4.
Charges laid over marine mammal deaths
Two flee crash
Police were called to a single vehicle accident on
Saturday at 2:50 a.m. The accident occurred in the 1400 block of Galerno Rd., when a 1998
GMC pickup crashed into a hedge.
Two males were seen running on foot and that led to an
arrest of a 17-year-old at a nearby residence.
No one was hurt in the accident
and a charge of failing to remain at the scene is being recommended to Crown counsel.

our reputation locally and across Canada as the retail innovator, and we are proud to announce today a fan-tastic new partnership with B.C.’s very own and one of Canada’s best entrepreneurs, Mr. Jimmy Pattison,” said Schley in a media release.
“What this does for Quality Foods is allow us to now concentrate on what would other-wise be insurmount-able opportunities,”
he said.Quality Foods began
as a single store in Qualicum Beach in 1982. Today, the chain of g rocery stores employs nearly 1,000 people working in 11 stores on Vancouver Island and the Sun-shine Coast – including Campbell River.
“We have had a remarkable 30 years of being an island-based independent grocer, and we are very excited about our continued growth and innova-tion for the next thirty
years,” Schley said.In recent years, the
three partners have not only improved on their grocery store business, but have branched out into other areas, apart from the QF empire — including the purchase of the Old Dutch Inn in Qualicum Beach. They have also invested in other properties — including the site of the former Qualicum Beach Resort Hotel.
Earlier this month, ICR Projects on behalf of the owner of the Parksville Shopping
Centre, announced plans to build a new grocery store to house an expanded Save-On-Foods. Those plans are currently with the City of Parksville for approvals. The city is also home to another QF grocery store.
“We have created a way to secure and invest in our future with B.C.’s most well-known and highly respected business-man, Mr. Jimmy Pat-tison,” said Schley at the company’s annual meeting last Thursday
night.“We chose this direc-
tion to keep the integ-rity of the QF culture and philosophy that our people have built over the last thirty years,” added part-ner John Briuolo in a media release.
Partner Noel Hay-ward added the addi-tion of the new investor is a “great kick-start” to QF’s 30th anniver-sary year in 2012.
“We are very fortu-nate to have found an
investor that shares our strategic vision for
the future,” stated Hay-ward. “This provides long term security and growth, which in turn creates opportu-nities.”
In addition to the Pat-tison announcement, the QF ownership team said they will soon launch a new, fully-integrated online shop-ping, app and social media web presence to an eagerly waiting cus-tomer base.
New renovations for some of their existing stores are soon to be announced.

Possible warning signs that a child is being bullied include:
Comes home with torn, damaged, or missing pieces of clothing, books, or other belongings
Has unexplained cuts, bruises, and scratches Has few, if any friends, with whom he or she
spends time Seems afraid of going to school, walking
to and from school, riding the school bus, or taking part in organized activities with peers (such as clubs)
Takes a long, “illogical” route when walking to or from school
Has lost interest in school work or suddenly begins to do poorly in school
Appears sad, moody, teary, or depressed when he or she comes home
Complains frequently of headaches, stomachaches, or other physical ailments
Has trouble sleeping or has frequent bad dreams
Experiences a loss of appetite Appears anxious and suffers from low
self-esteem
Possible warning signs that a child may be a bully include:
Positive views towards violence Often aggressive towards adults – including
teachers or parents Marked need to control and dominate others
and situations Boy bullies tend to be physically stronger
than their peers Hot-tempered, impulsive, easily frustrated Often test limits or break rules Good at talking their way out of diffi cult
situations Show little sympathy toward others who are
bullied
It started in September 2007, when two teens at a Nova Scotia high school stood up for a younger student.David Shepherd and Travis Price, both in Grade 12, heard about a Grade 9 student at their school who had been bullied and threatened for wearing a pink polo shirt on his fi rst day of school.They decided they should do something about it and went to a discount store, where they bought 50 pink shirts and tank tops to wear to school the next day. They also went online to round up support for their anti-bullying cause, which they dubbed a “sea of pink.”It worked. The next day, dozens of students were outfi tted with the discount shirts, but even better – hundreds of students showed up wearing their own pink clothes, some from head to toe.The bullies were reportedly never heard from again.This year, Feb. 29 is Pink Shirt Day in B.C. and other parts of Canada, an annual anti-bullying event that started after the now-famous 2007 “sea of pink” campaign. The need for awareness and action against bullying remains as strong as ever, say those involved in the pink event, including local radio station CKNW, Black Press, the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Vancou-ver, and London Drugs, where people can buy the offi cial ‘Bullying Stops Here’ pink shirts for 2012.“Awareness of what bullying is and under-standing that it hurts is important,” says Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Vancouver president and CEO Carolyn Tuckwell.“It isn’t just a rite of passage. It doesn’t have to happen. And it’s relevant to every-one, whether in school, after school or in the workplace.”According to www.bullyingcanada.ca, as many as 25 per cent of children in Grades 4 to 6 have been bullied and approximately one in 10 children have bullied others, while a 2004 study published in the Medi-cal Journal of Pediatrics found that about one in seven Canadian children aged 11 to 16 are victims of bullying.It is important to recognize what bullying is, and that it happens in many forms – ver-bally, socially, physically and online (cyber bullying), says Tuckwell.
“By wearing pink, people show they’re making that commit-ment, to not let bullying happen,” she says. In 2009, 20,000 pink shirts were sold and in 2010, 30,000 helped the effort. Last year, 46,000 T-Shirts were sold and
this year we hope to sell 60,000.Tuckwell and others emphasize that the pink shirt is second-ary to raising aware-ness about bullying and getting people involved.B.C. is no stranger
to tragedy related to bullying.From Sur-rey’s 14-year-old Hamed Nastoh, who jumped off the Patullo Bridge and killed himself after leaving a note behind blam-ing the constant bullying he endured at school, to Mission’s Dawn-Marie Wesley, 14, who committed suicide by hanging herself after relentless bullying, there are countless told and untold stories that remain horrifi c.The provincial government has taken
steps to address bullying in recent years, including a Ministry of Education resource brochure for parents in 14 languages that can be found online at www.bced.gov.bc.ca/sco. Net proceeds benefi t the CKNW Orphans’ Fund in support of the Boys & Girls Clubs of South Coast BC. Boys & Girls Clubs of South Coast BC: BGC programs foster self-esteem, social engagement, academic success, inclusion, acceptance, respect for self and others, and connection to commu-nity – all of which are key elements of bul-lying prevention. CKNW Orphans’ Fund: The CKNW Orphans’ Fund is committed to enhancing the lives of children with physical, mental and social challenges liv-ing in BC communities. The fund includes children who are bullied under the scope of the funds work, because these children will need extra support for their development.
Be proud to be pink: support anti-bullyingBe proud to be pink: support anti-bullying
‘It isn’t just a rite of passage. It doesn’t have to happen.’

A man jailed for pos-sessing a stolen truck wants to turn his life around so he can get his three children out of foster care.
“I’m very sorry for what I’ve done…I real-ize I made a big mis-take,” said Richard Humphries from a jail cell in Victoria.
H u m p h r i e s , 3 6 , appeared by video on Monday in Camp-bell River provincial court.
After pleading guilty to a single count of possessing s to len property under $5,000, the remaining four charges were stayed by the Crown.
According to prosecu-tor David Fitzsimmons, on Feb. 8, Humphries
was observed driv-ing a green and white pickup truck on the Island Highway near the Black Creek store.
That’s when an RCMP officer noticed that one of the wheels looked like it was ready to fall off. When the officer pulled over the truck, he noticed the driver, Humphries, was acting suspiciously.
It turned out the
truck had been stolen from Quadra Island, near Quadra Builders, on Jan. 24. Also found in the cab were a BC Ferries pay pass card and a gas card, both stolen.
He was taken into c u s t o dy a n d h a s remained behind bars since then. Humphries as one prior convic-tion for theft and two for possessing stolen
property.However, he pleaded
guilty at a early date, noted defence lawyer Tom Bishop, so that he can change his life and to try and regain cus-tody of his children.
Bishop told the court that Humphries has had a rough time since his marriage broke up in 2009. In the end, he was sentenced to 90 more days in jail.

What is the purpose of commoly dislikes Probate?
Many people consider probate as an unnecessary complication or a nuisance. A common comment from clients is that the probate has held up their inheritance for a long-time. Probate is the legal process that ensures that the deceased person’s estate is distributed to the rightful bene ciaries under a valid Will. Through Probate the court certi es the Will that third parties can rely upon. Without Probate the banks, insurance companies, and Land Titles Of ce can’t be sure about the validity of the Will.No one likes to wait for money and deal with procedural delays. But consider this: An individual makes a Will giving a major portion of his/her estate to one child (Child A); at a later date revoked the Will to give his/her estate to all children equally; if child A takes the rst Will to the bank and gets paid then the rightful bene ciaries will be left out. A legal action against the bank claiming that the bank paid based on an invalid Will certainly will cause more delays, family dispute, and legal fees than ling the necessary probate documents for court’s review.Trying to beat the probate fees should be at the bottom of your list. Your focus should be preplanning. There are other steps that you need to take to save your estate money and avoid delays. In Campbell River, there is a group of professionals that provides free seminars to educate the public about “planning for life changes”.

February is a very important time for our local eagle
population in the Comox Valley and Campbell River.
This is a time when the eagles have survived the rigors of winter and a time that often sees them very close to starvation as they have exhausted their available food supplies. Along our shorelines the eagles are gathering and just like the fishermen are awaiting the annual herring spawn; in many local areas they can be seen hanging out to dry in trees along the estuar-ies and shores.
Bald eagles are well known for their strength and endurance and this has been obvious at MARS over the last year as we admitted over 50 eagles and have already treated 10 so far this year. These eagles are extremely large powerful raptors with a wingspan of 1.8 to 2.4 meters and can weigh between 3-6 kilograms, the females are larger than the males. It takes the bald eagles between 4-5 years
to fully gain their adult plumage with their dis-tinct white heads and tails; it is sometimes difficult to tell how old they are as they are adult sized when they fledge from the nest.
Habitat for these birds must provide water either lakes, rivers, estuaries or shorelines. Their ter-ritory can cover several kilometres and must include perch trees along the water and a nest tree that is often inland. Each
year in late win-ter the eagles return from their fall migration, and re-establish bonds with their mate, or find a new territory in the case of the juveniles. Dur-ing this time they will make the necessary
repairs to their nest which is rebuilt or added to each year, the adults can be seen carrying large branches in their talons in preparation for the arrival of the eaglets.
February is a time for love and the onset of the breeding season, it is also a time for us to watch some amazing acrobat-
ics as they free fall, lock talons and serenade each other high atop the trees. This is not such a happy time for the juvenile birds that must now fend for themselves and this often leads to interspecies fight-ing or sees them becoming scavengers as they hunt for an easy food source.
One of our patients admitted on New Year’s Eve has quite a story to tell, and one that is becom-
ing all too familiar this winter. “Semi” a three year old juvenile was feed-ing on a deer carcass along the inland highway near Horne Lake when she flew up into the path of an on-coming truck travelling at the speed limit. Due to her huge wingspan and the height of the semi truck she was unable to gain enough elevation and she became “spread eagled” on the windshield.
Fortunately, the occu-pants of the truck were uninjured but the eagle did not fare so well and has had a “long haul” back to recovery. Other than multiple bruising, amaz-ingly, her only other injury was a small fractured bone where the spine meets the pelvis. Obviously, she was in acute pain as I attended the initial vet visit which was conducted by Dr. Tammi Whelan of Sunrise Veterinary. It took three of us to hold her for the examination.
Semi’s rehabilitation has been slow but remark-able, she had to be tube fed for several days starting with rehydrating fluids
and then enriched pureed chicken, she was then force fed whole food and finally she was able to eat on her own. She graduated from a nest of soft bedding as she would not stand and now six weeks later she is standing, flying and inter-acting in a flight pen with three other eagles.
This winter we seem to have rescued so many eagles that have been hit by vehicles on the road as they dine on road kill. Often they are hidden in the center median or in the ditches along the roadside. Please drive with extra care if you see an eagle or other wildlife

as they often will suddenly jump or fly out into the oncoming traffic.
If Semi continues her progress, building up her flight stamina, we hope to release her in the Quali-cum area as soon as the herring run commences
ensuring her a plentiful food supply. For the past seven years MARS has hosted a bald eagle festival to honour these magnificent birds, and again we thank B.C.Hydro for sponsoring the event. This year the festival is tomorrow at the Maritime Heritage Center
in Campbell River from 10-4. There will be guest speakers and many wildlife exhibits, in addition live ambassador birds will be in attendance, owls and a hawk from MARS and a bald eagle from Pacific North West Raptors. Please come out to learn more about our incredible

When people hear about Charles Ross and his One Man Star Wars Trilogy, they often leap enthusiastically to the same conclusion.
Surely he’s some sort of stereotypical uber-nerd who decided to take his obsession on the road. Even “Star Wars geeks,” who might embrace him as one of their own, some-times wonder whether he’s taking his love of the trilogy too far.
But that assumption – that Ross is a gangly, awkward geek who took a party trick on tour – couldn’t be more wrong. He’s a geek, but he’s also an actor. He has a Bachelor of Fine Arts in performance,
and putting the show together required the same sort of writing, direction and rehearsal that all stage plays do.
Ross is certainly a Star Wars fan. He grew to love the films, par-ticularly A New Hope, as a child.”
Ross’ desire to make a living in the world of theater led him to study performance at the University of Victo-ria. Although he didn’t write the One Man Star Wars Trilogy until much later, the idea for the show began to form while he was still in college. Conversations and games with fel-low student T.J. Dawe eventually grew into the inspiration for the
show. While talking about condensing plays down to three minutes, a common task in the-ater school auditions, the two talked about abridging Star Wars.
The result is a fast-paced, 58-minute “long-form impression” of Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Dressed all in black and wearing knee and elbow pads, Ross is on the move from the beginning of the show to the end. He pauses for only a few seconds between each of the three films to get a sip of water. He imitates all of the characters, the score and even the opening crawl of yel-
low text using facial expressions, vocal impersonations, ges-tures and movements. It’s strenuous – Ross runs, jumps, leaps and rolls from beginning to end.
Don’t miss your chance to see the One Man Star Wars at the Tidemark Theatre tonight at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $25 Adults, $20 Theatre Members, $15 Students, & $5 eyeGO tickets (Grade 9 – 12 students), and are available at the Tide-mark Ticket Centre from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tue.-Sat. or Charge-by-Phone at 287-7465 or 1-800-994-0555.

Rivercity Play-ers are keep-ing up with
the challenge of pro-viding theatre fun and entertainment for the Campbell River com-munity.
On Saturday, March 10, they are provid-ing a workshop in comedic acting skills, for anyone in the com-munity who may be interested,
The instructor, Michael Armstrong, is a forty-year veteran of the stage and a popu-lar theatre instruc-tor who has worked with theatre groups all across B.C. He is a professional actor with recent roles in Victoria’s Blue Bridge Theatre Productions of It’s a Wonderful Life and Blithe Spirit.
He has directed for a large number of community theatre companies around the province and has been an adjudicator for Theatre B.C.’s zone festivals as well as a Mainstage workshop instructor. He is also a published playwright.
“This fun workshop will focus on com-edy,” says Armstrong. “Both actors and directors will benefit from intense work with great comedy scripts. We will look at script analysis, timing, and physical comedy techniques, among other things. Participants will be
up on their feet and learning by doing. This will be six hours of fun and learning.”
“It will be a case of having fun while learning to be funny,” says Gail Tisdale,
President of Rivercity Players. “But spaces are limited. Michael likes to work with only 12 to 15 people. It would be best if any-one who is interested pre-registered.”
To register for this workshop contact either Gail at 778-420-4950 or Penny Mil-brant at 287-9418.
The cost of the work-shop is $25 for early registration, before
March 3, $35 after March 3.
The workshop will start at 10 am and run until 5 p.m. at River-city Studio Theatre, 1080 Hemlock Street.
Registration for observers will be between 9 a.m. and 10am and costs $10. The price for active participants includes lunch.

CLASS SLOP
KRISTEN DOUGLASCAMPBELL RIVER
Campbell River is one step closer to being crowned with the Kraft Hockeyville 2012 title, and being featured on CBC.
T h e S t r a t h c o n a Re gional District , wh i ch n o m i n at e d Strathcona Gardens, announced last week that its entry has moved on to the second
round of voting.“The deadline for
submissions has now passed and we are pleased to communi-cate that our entry has qualified for the next round along with 226 other communities from across Canada,” said Brian Reardon, Chief Administrative Officer of the regional district.
Kraft Hockeyville is a competition pre-
sented by the NHL, the CBC, and Kraft that recognizes the community that best shows Canada’s spirit – and of course, its love of hockey. The winning community wins not only the title of “Kraft Hockeyville” but also gets to host an NHL pre-season game and wins $100,000 for upgrades to its home arena. Four runner-up communities will
receive $25,000 each for arena upgrades.
Reardon said the Strathcona Gardens recreation complex was contacted by Kraft Hockeyville in early January to feel out the regional district’s interest in applying for the competition.
“After a brief con-versation regarding the status of our com-munity and the arena we were encouraged to
submit an application to the competition,” Reardon said.
Strathcona Gardens is one of 28 communi-ties from the Pacific region that will move on to the second round. It’s up against 39 com-munities from the West; 92 communities in Ontario; 29 commu-nities in Quebec; and another 39 communi-ties in the Atlantic division. Strathcona
Gardens qualified with 62 members of the pub-lic joining its applica-tion and 38 people sub-mitting stories, videos and photos on the Kraft Hockeyville web-site. The final selection process, which takes place between Feb. 1 to March 2, will include three entries from each of the five divisions to break down the compe-tition to the final 15.
Voting is done by an
in-house panel which will judge a commu-nity on originality, community spirit, and passion for hockey.
The top 15 communi-ties will be showcased on CBC’s Hockey Night in Canada on March 3.

For the record
Police are seeking witnesses who saw an altercation between a teenaged girl and a man.
The alleged incident occurred Feb. 13, around 3:50 p.m., in the 1300 block of Greenwood St. near Rehabilitation in Motion.
According to RCMP, the 14-year-old girl was walking
west on Greenwood when she heard footsteps and was then pushed up against a building by a man or teenager.
He demanded that she look at him, but the girl looked down and told him to get away. The man refused, showed her a small knife and then fled east on Greenwood and
then north on 13th Avenue.
A woman, passing by in a tan-coloured
car, stopped and asked the girl if she was okay. The girl said she was
all right and the woman proceeded on her way.
Police would like to speak to the driver and are seeking anyone else who saw the altercation or has information about the suspect.
The aboriginal male suspect is described as slim, short, with brown hair and some
facial hair. He was wearing an oversized black zip hoodie frayed around the wrists, dark blue jeans, tan work boots with darker laces, and he was possibly wearing sunglasses. He also has a deep voice.
Anyone with information is asked to contact RCMP or Crime Stoppers.

Seeing Into Our Future
Evolution has shaped us to process visual information perceived at a walking speed of 5 or 6 km/h. This means that looking ahead for 3 to 6 seconds of travel time is plenty to keep from running into objects in our path. However, this natural tendency is insuffi cient for reliable driving decisions and collision avoidance.
Rather than 3 to 6 seconds, an eye lead time of at least 15 seconds is more appropriate when driving. Eye lead time means looking at the space that your vehicle will occupy 15 seconds or more into the future. This will give you the time that you need to see what is happening on the highway, decide what you need to do and react to hazards to maximize your safety and the safety of others around your vehicle.
Failing to allow suffi cient eye lead time often results in making last second lane changes and braking more often than would otherwise be necessary. Tailgating is another outcome of this tendency. We will focus most on the nearest vehicles and will be prevented from seeing into our future.
So, set your sights high and recognize potential road hazards in plenty of time to plan and evade smoothly. Pacing yourself in this manner maintains a more constant speed that saves fuel, wear and tear on your vehicle and often travel time. Other drivers well ahead will telegraph problems by movement or use of brake lights. Think of this as your own early warning system!

The KLP Construc-tion Peewee A Tyees played the Saanich Braves in a single-game semi-final match in Tier 2 playoffs on Saturday at Rod Brind’Amour arena.
Both teams started somewhat tentative which can be expected given that the winner moved on to the best-of-three final series.
Unfortunately the Tyees lost Liam Rivett early in the game due to penalty and Saan-ich opened the scoring on the ensuing power play. That spurred on the Tyees, especially goalie Ethan Ouel-lette. The Braves tried to throw everything on the net, almost as if they were covering up for the loss of their number one goalie due to concussion a couple of weeks ago, but Ouel-lette shut the door on them and kept it a one goal game.
But by the time the first period ended it was the Tyees up 4-1.
The second period began similar to the first with a few rushes broken up and turned aside by strong defen-sive plays by Olivia Knowles, Mitchell Rogers and others. On a counterattack, Doug Campbell saw the defenders backing
up and splitting apart. He took the free space offered and brought the puck to the high slot before wiring a wrist shot in the top corner of the net for the Tyees fifth goal.
Teams traded chances and power-plays. Ouel-lette frustrated Saanich by making key saves and good work on the penalty kill helped tre-mendously. Late in the second, the Tyees went on another power-play. Damien Rennie fed the puck to Jacob Hartley and he got it to Lund in a prime shooting posi-tion. Lund scored his second goal to make the score 6-1 at the end of the second.
The Braves pulled out all stops in this must-win game and that made them vul-nerable to the counter-attack. Frank made another perfect stretch pass to Ben Regier that he brought down per-fectly from two feet above the ice.
This rattled the B r ave s a n d t h e y ended up in the sin bin again. Face-off in Braves zone, Camp-bell wins it to Dick-son who feeds it back to Frank as McLean heads to the front of the net for the screen. Frank fires the rocket on net. The goalie was
falling down into his butterfly as the puck was already coming out from behind him as Frank put the Tyees ahead 7-1. The Braves were able to score the last goal with about twenty seconds left to make the final 7-2 for the Tyees. Given the strong play of goalies Nic Ordano and Ouel-lette, the Tyees are in the fortunate situation of having two number one goalies in their lineup.
The Tyees now face the Division 1 regular season winners, Juan de Fuca Grizzlies in the Tier 2 finals. Game 1 of the best-of-three series starts at 2:15 p.m. Sat Feb 15 at Rod Brind’Amour arena.
This will be a very difficult challenge for the KLP Construc-tion Peewee A Tyees as the Grizzlies were undefeated in 12 regu-lar season Division 1 games. The Grizzlies bring a fast-paced, hard-hitting approach to their games and try to intimidate oppo-nents early with their attack.
The Tyees haven’t always played their best game against JDF but they are starting to really jell together at the right time in these playoffs.
Campbell River’s first junior Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tourna-ment was held this weekend at Pure Martial Arts and Fitness. Competitors ages 5-13 from Campbell River and Nanaimo took their Jiu-Jitsu game to the mats.
“It was amazing to watch,” said Heather Todd co-owner and parent. “It was fearless Jiu-Jitsu.” Fearless it was; big take-downs, pins, escapes, joint-locks, and chokes were just some of the techniques that were seen at Saturday’s tournament. The competition was a dynamic look into the
sport of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a sub-mission grappling or ground sport. It has enjoyed a surge of popularity over the last twelve years as it has become a key component to a winning strat-egy in mixed martial arts com-petitions like the UFC.
Jodey Ingalls, Head Instruc-tor of Pure Martial Arts said, “We have been teaching no-gi Jiu-Jitsu to the children for 16 years now [a gi is a martial arts uniform]. We introduced Gi Jiu-Jitsu just this September and it’s been a huge success. The kids love the class - it’s a
great way for children to getout and have some fun whilelearning a fantastic martial artand a self defence system.”
Jiu-Jitsu is for anyone ofany size or any age. It foundedon the premise that a smaller,weaker opponent can beat alarger stronger assailant byusing leverage and good tech-nique.
First place medal winners atthe Pure Martial Arts YoungDragon’s Tournament wereShelbey Ingalls of CampbellRiver, Samadhi Sukadana ofNanaimo and Chris Gray ofCampbell River

The Campbell River and District Association for Com-munity Living’s employment program has been assisting people with developmental disabilities, find meaning-ful employment for over 23 years. During that time the organization has connected numerous businesses in the community with reliable, committed employees. The Campbell River Mirror is pleased to be able to present the first in a series of articles profiling local businesses that have brought meaning-ful employment to people with developmental disabili-ties.
One innovative busi-ness that under-stands there is a
natural fit for everyone in a diverse community is Qual-ity Foods.
In 1998, 23-year-old Paul Aubuchon began work as a customer service clerk at the IGA store in Merecroft Village. When Vancouver Island owned and operated Quality foods acquired the store in 2004, he continued working with the grocery store. To this date, he has contributed over 14 years of dedicated service to his employer.
Quality Foods manager Cyriel DeBruyne said, “We never second guessed leav-ing Paul on. It was a good move for the company and it was a good move for the employees.”
He praises Paul’s long-term commitment by stat-ing, “His responsibility has more than doubled since he started with us and I can truthfully say, he’s rarely been sick and has never asked to go home. He’s approximately 1 out of 3 employees, I can say that about.”
As a matter of fact, stud-ies show 86 per cent of people with disabilities rated average or better on attendance than their non-disabled colleagues.
Statistics from the Cana-dian Grocery HR Council also reveal that jobs such as Aubuchon’s position as a customer service clerk tend to expe-rience high turnover rates, primarily from losing workers the employer would prefer to keep. That said, every year that Aubuchon continues to work, he saves the grocery chain valuable resources that might oth-erwise be spent recruiting and training new workers. His productivity increases his employer’s profit mar-gins by improving their bottom line and that’s good
for business. Aubuchon, who used to be reserved when it comes to customer inquiries, says “I feel proud
of myself and I’m happy when I help custom-ers.”
Coincidently, having a job has also given him the equal opportunity to do so much more with his life, such as help fund his participation with the Spe-cial Olympics,
where he won Canadian male athlete of the year. It is examples such as Aubu-chon that truly highlight the significance of hiring people with disabilities. With smaller numbers of
youth entering the work-force, there will be labor shortages as the population ages. Hiring people with disabilities can improve performance and increase retention in positions with chronic turnover. They can also be trained to do complex work, which other employees may undervalue, with pride and account-ability.
