Clotheslining an intoxicated motorcyclist isn’t the typical method police use to stop some-one.

But that’s what happened to David Adcock when he ran into Const. Russ Miller in the early morning hours of Aug. 12, 2010.

Adcock, 49, had spent the night consuming beer with a friend when he decided to ride a dirt bike through the trails of the Bea-ver Lodge Lands around 1 a.m.

Const. Miller was also in the area, when he heard the motor-bike approaching, got out of his vehicle and stretched out both arms, indicating the driver to stop.

But Adcock, who later admitted in court to consuming around 10 beers, didn’t stop in time and was clotheslined by the officer’s arm, knocking him off the bike.

Defence lawyer Tom Bishop said the officer’s action was highly dangerous and Adcock could have been killed. Adcock, who wasn’t wearing a helmet and did not have insurance, did suffer some minor injuries and was charged with obstruction of a police officer and failing to pro-vide a breath sample.

At his trial on Dec. 21, 2011, the father of two was found guilty of failing to provide a breath sample while the other charge was dis-missed.

Adcock was back in Camp-bell River provincial court on

Pinecrest Elementary students watch

with rapt attention as Otis the owl swiv-els his head around. The kids squeal with surprise as the belea-guered bird relieves himself on their class-room floor.

Otis is one of three birds who acts as an ambassador for the Mountainaire Avian Rescue Society, bet-ter known as MARS, which rescues ill, injured, orphaned or oiled wildlife. The ani-mals are rehabilitated at the MARS centre in Merville and released.

On this particular day, Otis, a western screech owl, is enter-taining kids at Pine-crest school who have taken up the crusade to help financially-strapped MARS stay afloat. A Grade 3 class baked and sold their own dog biscuits – raising $100 – and students in a Grade 5 class made posters advertising MARS’ annual fundraiser, Eaglefest.

MARS spokesperson Sandy Fairfield said

the posters will be distributed around Campbell River pro-moting the family event which takes place Feb. 25 at the Maritime Heritage Centre.

Eaglefest features well-known biologists and conservationists as guest speakers, a photo contest, live

birds, exhibits, snacks and more. The event costs $10 per family and is free to members of the society. Above all, Eaglefest is an important fundraiser for MARS, which is facing some tough times.

“We’re strapped for funds,” Fairfield said. “We’re trying to get

a constant source of income. If we were to get $1 from every resident in Courtenay and Campbell River we’d have it made. It’s just finding that one break, just finding that one person or one benefactor.”

Fairfield said the mostly-volunteer run society, is running low

on money and may have to reduce the amount of animals it takes under its wing.

“We may have to cut back on taking smaller species and be more selective with what we take in, depending on how long it will take to rehabilitate them,” said Fairfield, who notes it costs thou-sands of dollars to rehabilitate just one eagle.

MARS currently works with more than 50 injured eagles each year, as well as other birds.

Otis is just one example of the type of wildlife MARS has rescued and nursed back to health.

Otis came to the society about a year ago after being hit by a car. The owl flew into the front wind-shield and damaged his right eye.

Reg Westcott, a wild-life rescue educational outreach worker, said Otis likely has lost all sight in the injured eye. He said the main reason birds get hit by vehicles is due to litter.

“They come around roads because people

throw garbage out their car window,” Westcott said. “So a mouse might come out for the garbage and the bird follows the mouse. That’s why we tell people not to throw garbage on the road.”

Fairfield said the Inland Island High-way is a common place for eagles to get hit, because of litter and deer.

The eagles like to feed off deer that have

been hit by vehicles and left along the road, Fairfield said.

MARS is about educating the public about its effect on nature and how to reduce that impact so its financial situation won’t force the society to be selective in its rehabilitation.

To boost its funding pool, MARS is also planning a walk-a-thon on Earth Day, April 25 at the Courte-nay Air Park.

Avian ambassador delights Pinecrest students


Reg Westcott, Wildlife Rescue Educational Outreach Worker, for MARS shares

how Otis the owl was rescued and rehabilitated by MARS to a Grade 3 class at

Penfield Elementary School.


Liam Gibson, a Pinecrest Elementary student, pres-

ents Sandy Fairfield of MARS a $100 cheque Wednes-

day morning. The money was raised by his Grade 3

class by baking and selling dog biscuits.

Wednesday for sen-tencing, as Crown pros-ecutor David Fitzsim-mons asked the judge to impose jail time, a one-year driving pro-hibition and the mini-mum mandatory fine of $1,000.

“It’s a crime he’s com-

mitted over and over again, and the Crown says the court needs to respond to that,” Fitz-simmons told Judge Brian Saunderson.

He also noted that Adcock has three pre-vious impaired driving convictions from 1980, 1983 and 1993.

But Bishop disagreed

and pointed out that failing to provide a breath sample isn’t the same as being con-victed for impaired driving.

He also said the three previous convic-tions are dated and that Adcock is the sole provider for his chil-dren, earning meagre

earnings from work-ers’ compensation and child benefits.

“Jail is not neces-sary,” Bishop argued. “For many years he’s been a good, law-abid-ing citizen…it would be a serious hardship to pay even the mini-mum fine.”

However, Bishop

said that Adcock knows what he did was wrong.

“It was a stupid thing to do and he acknowl-edged that ,” said Bishop.

Judge Saunderson readily agreed, “The defendant’s behav-iour…was foolish in the extreme. He ought

to have a good look at himself in the mir-ror.”

The judge said jail should be considered as a last resort and declined to incarcerate Adcock. Instead, Judge Saunderson fined him $1,500 and banned him from driving for one year.

The city’s new com-munity plan received first and second read-ing at Tuesday’s coun-cil meeting despite some council lors ’ concerns they didn’t have sufficient time to review the document.

The draft Sustain-able Official Commu-nity Plan, designed to guide council in making decisions that affect the community’s future, was presented to city council for first, second and third read-ing.

However, Coun. Andy Adams changed the recommendation at the start of the meeting to only include first and second reading so the plan would not imme-diately proceed to the next stage – the public hearing.

“Council has not had the opportunity – this was just put on our desk before the meet-ing – to review this draft and I feel I’m put in the unenviable posi-tion of having to do first and second read-ing on something I’ve not read,” Adams said. “It goes against every principle I have as a councillor and that’s to do due diligence.”

Coun. Claire Moglove also expressed concern for not having enough time to look over the document.

“On first glance, it appears to be a com-plete revision of the Quinsam Heights land use,” Moglove said. “I’m a little concerned about passing first and

second reading.”Moglove asked if

council could post-pone first and second reading until the next council meeting on Jan. 24.

Ross Blackwell, the city’s land use manager, reminded council there is a very small window to have the community plan passed and Jan. 24 would be too late as it would still have to pass third reading and then go to public hearing.

Funding to complete the plan will only be provided if the city

a d o p t s the plan by Feb. 2 8 . I f the plan i s n o t adopted by that date, a $140,000 g r a n t from the

Federation of Cana-dian Municipalities Green Municipal Fund and a $20,000 grant from the Real Estate Foundation of B.C. will be pulled.

Blackwell said coun-cil could still make minor changes to the plan after first and sec-ond reading.

Coun. Larry Samson urged council not to waste time.

“I think it’s impor-tant we move forward on this, as Mr. Black-well mentioned we can come back and re-visit some of this, but I think with the timeline it’s important to move forward on this,” Sam-son said.

Coun. Ron Kerr said he supported the plan

and was ready to move the process forward.

“I was involved with the S O C P (Sustain-able Offi-cial Com-m u n i t y P l a n ) process from the b e g i n -ning, it was very intense,” Kerr said.

The process, which t o o k 1 8 m o n t h s , involved several public open houses and meet-ings. Les Lengyel, who was on the community plan steering commit-tee, said local engage-ment was integral to the creation of the plan, which includes the Master Transpor-tation Plan, an Energy

and Emissions Plan and an Agriculture Plan.

“We estimated over 1,500 individuals came and participated in the SOCP compared to the last OCP (Offi-cial Community Plan) which I was told had 50 people participate in,” Lengyel said.

Last September, the city was recognized by the province with an excellence in civic engagement award for its community plan process.

“The SOCP is the first review of city-wide policies since 2005,” Lengyel said. “This plan incorporates a more updated vision of the community, a 50-year vision to posi-tion Campbell River to be a vibrant and resil-ient community.”

Coun. Mary Storry thanked all the vol-unteers and city staff who put in countless hours on the plan and

suggested including the Tyee Spit plan, the height restriction building plan and the solid waste plan.

Storry motioned to pass first and second reading but requested a another meeting prior to Jan. 19 for more dis-cussion and potentially third reading.

The motion passed w i t h c o u n c i l l o r s Adams and Moglove opposed.

The Sayward Community Health Society is celebrating the opening of Sayward’s first medical clinic this Saturday.

“We have never had a medical clinic in Sayward,” said Aggie Pringle of the health society.

“The doctor runs little ones out of his house on occasion,” but the village has never had a dedicated space for a medical clinic.

The building will serve a population of about 1,200 people in the Village of Sayward and the surrounding area.

Having renovated the former village office with volunteer labour, the society is now looking forward to building up to full time staffing in the clinic.

The building will open with the services of a physiotherapist

and public health nurse. Screening mammograms, blood pressure and blood sugar clinics, and visiting practitioners will be hosted in the facility.

“The ultimate goal is to have it staffed 24/7 with a nurse practitioner,” Pringle said.

“We’ll be looking to add services over the next year, year and a half.”

To date, the society has managed to pull together the facility with donated labour and equipment. They will receive a small annual grant from the Strathcona Regional Hospital District and are hoping to receive funds from the Vancouver Island Health Authority to staff the clinic.

Saturday will feature a ribbon cutting ceremony and a chance for the community to step inside the new clinic.

“We’ll be selling memberships to the

Sayward Community Health Society, and invite the

community at large to get involved and let us as the board of

directors know what services they’d like to see,” Pringle said.

A lot of numbers get trotted out every year at this time as the assessment authority releases its annual evaluation of the price of property around the

province.We’re given an astronomical

dollar amount representing the total worth of so many theoretical average homes.

Of course, for most of us, any number in the billions is as useful as the number of stars in the sky

and grains of sand at the beach. Perhaps the best thing we can take away from B.C. Assessment’s

latest statistics is that Vancouver Island is a solid place to invest in for individuals, families and people looking to do business here. Buying a home for the vast majority of people should be first and foremost about having a place to live. It is the single biggest expenditure most people will ever make, especially for those of us living in B.C.’s southwest.

And while housing prices here are exceptionally high, there is some comfort in knowing our region has a few exceptional factors in its favour.

Over the last few decades, property values here have risen dramatically, dipped slightly and stayed relatively flat for extended periods of time.

The latest figures from B.C. Assessment seem to confirm that homeownership is a relatively stable place to put your money.

That said, there are warning signs emerging that real estate across the country is showing signs of a classic bubble, according to a December report by economists with the Bank of America Merrill Lynch. It should concern anyone thinking they can continue to reap huge profits by flipping properties.

However, for the majority who are not land speculators, the long-term ownership of a home continues to be a sound investment.

Logger Mike welcomes back ol’ what’s-his-name

We say: Home ownership continues to be a sound investment

I am a 29-year-old mother of two. I have lived in Campbell River for eight years or so. In those eight years I have had to support myself and my young fam-ily by working in various positions in the aquaculture industry.

I have worked hard and moved up to the position of Net Builder Supervisor. This title meant I managed the building of net pens for open containment fish farm-ing.

In October 2011, I was laid off due to shortage of work. I am currently on EI and struggling to find employment. I and numerous coworkers were laid off because the nets that are being built for local fish farms are now recently being built overseas in develop-ing countries for a cheaper price. Countries like Peru, Chile, and India. They are built and then shipped to Campbell River.

I’m not talking about a couple nets, I’m talking about hundreds or more. It takes four people two weeks to build one net. This means Campbell River people are missing out on a huge opportunity for employment.

I dont think it’s fair that Campbell River deals with all the pollution and risks to the wild salmon stalks, when other countries get the important benefit of employing the people.

“Well lookee here, if it isn’t ol’ what’s-his-name!”

Some things, and people, just never change.

To hear the voice of Big Logger Mike bellowing at me, just like he always has, was welcome after going through tumultuous change the past six months.

“Are you just going to stand there gawking at me or are you going to tell me something new?” the man in yellow roared from to the top of his downtown lookout. “For starters, where the hell have you been?”

“There and back,” I replied with a sly grin.

“Oh, you’ve been to that little hell-hole of a bar down Mexico way that I usually frequent during my win-ter sabbaticals,” Logger Mike said

with wink. “Well, yeah, I got stuck in there for a few months myself.”

“Well, not exactly...I’ve been sick...”

“Sick in the head, I says. Why, you’ve been like that for YEARS!”

I couldn’t help but smile as old Mike laughed so hard he started hacking and coughing.

While I waited for him to stop slapping his knee, I thought back to “The Ordeal”: Two operations, more than five weeks in a couple hospitals and a long slow recovery.

In a nutshell, I’m fortunate to be here and I know that more than ever.

“Just happy to be back on my feet and telling stories again,” I said.

“Well, you’re certainly looking better than you used to be. I think

you’ve lost about a skidder off that belly,” he said with a little admira-tion.

“Why thank-you, but I warn you now that kind of weight-loss program isn’t recommended,” I cautioned. “Besides, I look at it a little differently: I’ve got rid of the weight.”

“What the heck’s the difference?” Logger Mike asked, looking con-fused.

“Well, this is just semantics, but if you lose weight, you’re probably going to find it again. If I get rid of the extra pounds, hopefully they will be gone forever,” I told him.

“Just stop using those big fancy words,” Mike replied with disgust. “Tell me what you’ve learned.”

Wow, I didn’t expect that. I stopped

and thought for a moment – I’ve learned so much and changed too.

“For starters, I was very fortunate to receive great care from the doc-tors and especially the nurses here in Campbell River.”

“And what else?” Mike said, encouraging me to go on.

“I never fully appreciated how much I was loved and how much that love helped me recover, both physically and mentally,” I replied. “I can’t say enough about the sup-port I received from my dear wife, my family, friends, co-workers and so many others.”

As a tear welled up in my eye, Logger Mike replied gently, “I think you’ve learned a lot.

“Good for you.”[email protected]

Conversations with Mike

By Paul Rudan

Build local, says worker

LettersLetters

In the Comox Valley, recent letters to the editor about the hospi-tal issue reflect many misunderstandings, myths and rumours.

Perhaps that is because the issue has been under discussion since 2003 and people have simply forgot-ten the details or been overwhelmed by too much infor mation and/or misinforma-tion.

Myth 1: “People don’t want two hospitals.”

A. Carpenter stated “in the two years the hospital issue has been under discus-sion, I have yet to talk with anyone who sup-ports the two hospital option.” Perhaps Car-penter was not around in 2007 when 19,000 people signed a petition supporting two fully functioning hospitals – one in Campbell River and one in the Comox Valley. This was in response to VIHA’s daft plan to place a single “regional” hospital near Dove Creek where there is no infrastruc-ture. In February, 2008, the Comox Strathcona Regional District Hos-pital Board withdrew its support of the Dove

Creek proposal for very sound reasons. As a Regional Board, they saw the need for a hospital in each of the two major population centres.

M y t h 2 : “ O n e “regional” hospital would provide more specialty services than two hospitals.”

In January, 2009, VIHA came forward with the current pro-posal to build a new hospital in Campbell River and a new hospi-tal in the Comox Valley. The good news is that they agreed to provide the same “regional” services in the current two hospital plan that VIHA had previously proposed for the Dove Creek option. While the Comox Valley will have the larger hos-pital with most of the “regional” beds and services, Campbell River will maintain its current services in a new facility with addi-tional beds.

Myth 3: “A single regional hospital would eliminate any need to travel to Victoria or Vancouver for surger-ies or treatments.”

Not so. Some of the services provided in

“tertiary” hospitals in Victoria and Vancou-ver will not be avail-able here no matter what is built on the North Island. We’ll still travel.

Myth 4: “St. Joseph’s Hospital will continue to function as an acute care hospital indefi-nitely.”

Once the new hos-pitals are built, St. Joseph’s will no lon-ger be a hospital and will not have an emer-gency department. VIHA CEO, Howard Waldner stated “What is planned is that facil-ity [St. Joseph’s] will continue with a man-date likely around residential care or pal-liative care or primary health care” That is, no matter what new hospital(s) are built,

St. Joseph’s will NOT remain a hospital. Instead, it will provide other important health services.

A few people are now suggesting that we should go back to the one regional hospital plan. This is tantamount to saying that the citizens of Campbell River don’t deserve a hospital. Are we suggesting that they should all simply

move to the Comox Val-ley if they want to live near a hospital? For people who live in Gold River or Sayward, what about the important “golden hour” to reach a hospital? I cannot support a “beggar thy neighbour” approach.

Please get the facts before spreading more misinformation about the hospital proposal.

The Campbell River Visitor Centre saw more than 40,000 visitors through its doors in 2011, and a more than 13 per cent increase in overall inquiries over 2010.

The visitor centre recorded 40,002 tourists from around the word stopping in to ask about area attractions and activities.

“They requested information about

a wide variety of topics, but at the top of the list were attractions at 18 per cent and adventure recreation at 12 per cent (of visitor enquiries), followed closely by community services such as banks, laundry, grocery stores, etc.,” said visitor centre manager Rhonda Harper.

Transportation enquiries were up 12.5 per cent, which Harper attributed to a change in BC Ferries

policy to no longer print schedules.

The largest group of visitors to the visitor centre, at 39 per cent, were from other parts of B.C. Next, were tourists from Europe, who made up 33 per cent of those who stopped at the centre. This was up four per cent over 2010.

There was a wide range in the length of stay planned by those travellers who stopped in, but the majority were in Campbell River for just a quick

visit.“Some of these

visitors were just passing through and some were here for more than two weeks,” Harper said. “Eighty per cent of our visitors stayed for two nights and less.”

Although the total number of visitors who stopped in at the centre was up only 2.9 per cent over the 38,875 seen in 2010, the total inquiries received were up 13.4 per cent. The Campbell River

Visitor Centre also increased its hours of operation by 5.5 per cent. While the tourist season started slowly, August and September saw an increase of seven per cent over the same two months in 2010.

These numbers do not represent the total tourism numbers, Harper stressed

“It is important to note that these stats reflect the visitors to the Campbell River Visitor Centre only,” she said.

Bargain prices as library sells off used booksThe Campbell

River branch of the Vancouver Island Regional Library is clearing out the old to make way for the new. For the month of January, all used books are available at clearance prices.

Children’s and

teen materials, mass market paperbacks, and a few cassettes and VHS videos are all selling for only $.25 each. Large paperbacks and hardcover books for adults are selling for the bargain price of $.50.

Timothy Skye, Library Manager, notes that the Vancouver Island Library is constantly purchasing many new and popular items so older items need to be removed to make room on the shelves.

“This is part of our

continuing effort to keep our collection attractive and up to date,” he said.

The library invites the community to drop in and browse the items on sale until the end of the month at 1240 Shoppers Row. Perhaps you

will find that elusive title that you have been searching for, a book or video on your favourite hobby, or a fantastic fiction author you have never noticed before.

Driving at Night in the Rain

If there is one driving situation

that I like the least, it has to be driving

at night when it is raining. It was like

driving into a wet coal sack and many

of the environmental cues that I used to

position my vehicle were unavailable

to me. Although proper vision was my

biggest worry, traction is also reduced

and that must be taken into account.

Rain scatters headlight beams and

makes them less effective than they

would be on a clear night. This means

that I could not see as far as I might

otherwise be able to. Add the ability

of wet pavement to refl ect the light of

oncoming vehicles and the lines that I

need to see are no longer visible.

I knew from driver training that

I needed to focus on the dark part of

the road when I met other vehicles.

My peripheral vision monitored their

position and my pupils would not close

as much. If one looks at the headlights

of approaching vehicles you will be

blinded briefl y after they pass. This

blind time becomes longer as we age.

Tire traction is reduced on wet

pavement, particularly when the tread

is worn. This means that my ability to

turn, stop or accelerate is compromised.

I must leave more room and moderate

my speed to anticipate and react to the

other vehicles around me. If the trip is

not important, I may choose to make the

trip later when conditions are better.

MOUNT WASHINGTON ALPINE RESORT

An avalanche technician ski cuts near the top of Little Washington peak.

Snow, ski safety startswith avalanche training

When it comes to ava-lanches on Vancouver Island, a popular mis-conception is that they don’t happen.

Not only do they hap-pen, they happen fre-quently and can wreak havoc on a backcoun-try adventure.

To promote ava-lanche awareness and provide basic educa-tion on snow safety, Mount Washington is hosting an Avalanche Awareness Day this Saturday. The event will be fun, informa-tive, and will provide a jumping-off point for skiers and board-ers looking to increase their knowledge in the world of snow.

“We have an exten-

sive avalanche control program at Mount Washington that incor-porates both explosive and ski cutting tech-niques to initiate ava-lanches within our Resort boundaries,” explains Jesse Per-cival, patrol director at the resort.

the slopes in the early hours of the morning to ski cut and detonate explosives in the snow to release weaker lay-ers hidden within the snowpack. The control work is vital in main-taining safe slopes.

On Mount Washing-ton, steeper terrain in the popular Outback and West Basin areas are part of the regular curriculum for ava-lanche control work after a big dump of snow.

In the backcoun-try and beyond the patrolled boundaries of the resort, the slopes are not controlled and this is where the greater risks exist for skiers and boarders.

“You need the proper

training and tools to perform self-rescue when venturing into uncontrolled terrain.”

T h e Av a l a n c h e Awareness Day on Saturday will provide an introduction to the tools and techniques used in determining

snow stability and per-forming snow rescue.

In addition, there will be an amazing Cana-dian Avalanche Res-cue Dog demonstration

and, as always, there will be beacon races for those with a more competitive nature!

A silent auction will also be held with pro-ceeds going to the Cana-dian Avalanche Assoc. The money will be used to support snow safety education programs and the maintenance of various avalanche bulletins across the province through the Canadian Avalanche Centre.

The event takes place at the Backcountry Access Beacon Train-ing Park located on the flats between the bottom of the Whis-key Jack and Eagle Chairs.

Avalanche Safety Tips■ Evaluate the avalanche hazard before

attempting a rescue.■ Constantly evaluate avalanche of

conditions.■ Areas with fresh accumulations

of wind-driven snow are particularly vulnerable.

■ Extremely steep slopes particularly in shaded areas near a ridge are also risky.

■ Always travel with a partner. Descend risky areas one by one and watch for avalanche signs.

■ Wear an avalanche rescue beacon that signals your location.

■ Carry a small shovel and a long probe to locate a buried partner.

After months of indecision, the Vancouver Island Health Author-ity (VIHA) has put out a call for a mobile MRI service.

The health authority announced Wednesday it issued a request for proposals looking for equipment to run the mobile MRI service for the second time nine months.

The mobile service is expected to rotate between hospitals in Campbell River, the Comox Val-ley, Port Alberni and Duncan so patients will no longer have to travel to Nanaimo or Victoria for MRI scans.

“The issuing of the (Request for Proposal)...is welcome news for patients living on the North Island, West Coast and in the Cowichan Valley,” said Comox Valley MLA

Don McRae in a press release.“The coming expansion of medi-cal imaging services will be a hugebenefit to patients.”

The news comes months after the health authority announced itwould not pursue a mobile MRI.

In April, VIHA issued its first request for the service only toturn them all down, citing costfactors. Then in July, VIHA said itwould no longer pursue a mobileunit, much to the chagrin of NorthIsland NDP MLA Claire Trevena.

“It has been described by some in the medical community as‘devastating’ and ‘as if the rugwere pulled out from under us,’”Trevena said at the time.

Two months later, in October, VIHA did change its mind.

It is anticipated the mobile MRI service will be in operation byearly summer.

with a special recep-tion Thurs., Jan. 19 at 7 p.m. that will feature an illustrated artist’s talk by Denz as well as a special dance perfor-mance by Saltspring Is land ar tist and choregrapher Robbyn Scott. Denz received her Bachelor Fine Arts from the University of Victoria and her Mas-ter of Fine Arts from Auckland University in New Zealand. She has received several prestigious awards,

including two Canada Council grants and an invitation to the Flor-ence Biennial.

Denz’s works explore themes of feminine experience, family and landscapes. Her narra-tives of women tell of the interplay between biology and emotion in a woman’s life and highlight the body’s relationship to its surroundings. Using themes from popular movies such as gender power struggles, the

role of sexuality in per-sonal and societal nar-ratives is highlighted.Her compositions arefigurative and dream-like in nature, andoften include foundmaterial.

Journey Unauthor-ized is the most authen-tic recreation of the 1980’s Journey you will ever see and hear.

N o w, f o l l o w i n g years of mastery and unmatched attention to detail, the most com-plete Journey experi-ence can be yours as Journey Unauthorized rocks Campbell River.

Perry Stevens cap-tures the essence of the Journey vocals. His talents have taken Ste-vens around the world putting him in front of more than one million people.

Now he amazes and captivates audiences everywhere with his life-like portrayal of legendary Jour ney front-man Steve Perry.

Ray Potter has played alongside such legends as B.B. King and Lover-boy. He has also scored such films as God’s Warrior.

Potter is a 15-year member of the National Academy of Perform-ing Arts and Sciences and votes annually in 11 Grammy Awards categories.

D a m i a n M a n t l e is a graduate of the

acclaimed Blue Bear School of Music heav-ily inspired by Jour-ney’s Neal Schon and brings the technical accuracy, passion and character of Schon to Jour ney Unauthor-ized.

Jimmy Wells show-cases and emulates the drum styles of Jour-

ney note for note while Dave Matthews dis-plays a justifiably true representation of Ross Valory and the time-less vocal styling’s of Gregg Rolie.

Don’t miss this invi-tation to experience the group and music that defined a pop cul-ture.

Journey Unauthor-ized pays tribute to and recreates the sights and sounds of the band 30 years ago with hits such as Lovin’, Touchin’, Squeein’, Separate Way, Who’s Cryin’ Now, Anytime, Anyway You Want it, Faithfull, Wheel In the Sky, and the favourite

Don’t Stop Believin’.For more informa-

tion on this group, visit www.journeyun-authorized.com.

Rock.It Boy Enter-tainment presents Journey Unauthorized on Friday, March 9 at the Tidemark Theatre (250-287-7465) in Camp-

bell River. Advance tickets are on sale for $35 (Plus Facility Fees & Service Charges) at Tidemark Theatre Box

Washington MeritageA blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petite Verdot, this wine features great extract, deep colour and intense aromatics of dark berry fruit, cassis, peppery spice, cedar and smoke. The seductive nose of this wine foreshadows magnifi cent texture and fl avour, including dark berries, liquorice, vanilla and warm brown spices that glide across the palate. The texture and mouthful of the wine offers up silky tannins and a velvety smooth structure.Sweetness Code: 0 (dry)

South African Sauvignon Blanc-SemillonSauvignon Blanc has wild, herbaceous fl avours and tart, grapefruit-like character, which shows strongly in the young wine, while Sémillon has fl avours of honeydew melon and sweet honey that take a bit longer to come out. Together the two grapes make a lush, balanced wine with great up-front fruit and a satisfying, rich fi nish.Sweetness Code: 0 (dry) Washington Meritage

The Campbell River Literacy Association has received a boost in provincial funding this year for its Community Adult Literacy Program.

“The government likes the direction we’re heading,” said Sheery Bujold, the CALP coordinator. “We’re growing. Our numbers are quite high, which is great for us, but it means there are a lot of people with literacy

issues.”The local program

will receive $40,000 – the maximum available funding – this year, which represents an increase of $11,000. This funding covers the cost of the program, Bujold said, and allows the association to deliver its services free of charge, and now, to expand its programs.

The CALP serves to help people like Mervin Monks, who has worked in construction

for many years and wants to get a trade certificate in carpentry. The Campbell River Literacy Association gave Monks the help he needed in math to be able to successfully pass the math assessment test required to enter the carpentry foundation program at North Island College.

“I worked very hard to be here doing the carpentry foundation program at North Island College in Port

Alberni,” Monks said. “I had a tutor, Sheridan, at the Campbell River Literacy Association who helped me with my math, and if it wasn’t for him I wouldn’t be here.”

The provincial government is funding 72 adult literacy projects this year, spending $2.4 million on programs to help adult learners learn to read or improve their reading, writing or math skills.

The Campbell River

Literacy Association provides adult literacy programs at Robron Centre. The classroom is open from 8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Monday-Thursday.

The additional funding will allow the centre to open on Thursday evenings, Bujold said.

Tutors work with individuals one-on-one or in small groups during these times.

The program also hopes to add more field trips this year.

January and February will be busy months on the wrestling mats for Camp-bell River wrestlers.

The season is in full swing with tournaments sched-uled each week for the next five weeks.

Most recently, on Jan. 7 at the 15 and Under in Victoria, the Phoenix girls contingent were second overall for team points and Southgate girls were fifth.

Dedication and hard work at practices is pay-

ing off; all of the wrestlers who attended placed in the top five of their respective weight classes.

G o l d m e d a l s w e r e awarded to Phoenix wres-tlers Hailey Dean (46 kg), Savanah Pare (60 kg) and

Michael Herman (51 kg) as well as Southgate’s Brooke Guindon (56 kg) and Tim-berline’s Brett Nelson (57 kg). Phoenix girls Megan Nuttall (3rd - 56 kg) and Ally Cyr (5th - 46 kg) also had good placement mat

results. Southgate boys were in

solid fourth place in the 54 kg category for Chris Klatt and Heavyweight category for Dawson McKay.

Wrestlers from all four schools are in Kamloops

for the Western Canadian Age Class Tournament in Kamloops B.C.

Top finishers in Kam-loops will qualify for the Canadian Nationals in Fredericton, New Bruns-wick in April.

Pennies and Gingerbreadfor a Good Cause

The spirit of caring and giving is evident at Georgia Park. Grade 3 and 4 students

take on 2 special fundraisers to help those who are less fortunate have a

happier Christmas.

The students in Ms. Noren’sGrade 4 class at Georgia Park decorated

a gingerbread village to help support the Knights of Columbus hamper drive.

For every food item or toy students brought in, they received a ra e cket for a chance to win the gingerbread village for their class to share.

The students in Mrs. Sequeira’s Grade 3 class collected Pennies for Presents. This started out as a class ac vity and expanded to include the en re Georgia Park community.

Due to the generosity of children and their families, $385.22 was collected as well as over700 food and toys items.

Tip shotBantam B Tyees forward Darian Swift redirects a shot from the point during Sun-

day’s game against Victoria Racquet Club at Rod Brind’Amour Arena. Victoria

staved off a late Campbell River push to win 3-2.

Christmas break has not slowed the Browns Bay Packing Atom A Tyees down one bit.

The team showed up to their home game against Powell River on Saturday rested and ready to go. Owen Parker provided River Fahey with a pass that would put the Tyees on the board with 1:52 left in the first period.

Defenceman Bryce Narhi would get the Tyees their second goal eight minutes into the second period when he rifled a shot past the Powell River goalie from the blue line. Powell River answered back with one goal while on the power play, but found themselves two points behind again, when

Jaylen Price scored for the Tyees.

Powell River would start the third period in scoring, but the Tyees fought back by scoring three goals of their own. Tyees forward, River Fahey would score two goals, giving him a hat trick, while Brendan Almer would score the Tyees final goal of the game.

Atom A’s keep on rolling

The City of Camp-bell River Recreation and Culture Depart-ment is offering five different programs to entertain preschool and school aged chil-dren. These programs include family gym, bird house construc-tion, computer anima-tion, fun with choco-late and boys only.

■ Just in time for Valentine’s Day, fun with chocolate classes gives children in grades 5 to 9 the opportunity to learn to make molded, dipped and clusters of chocolates to give as a gift. They’ll also enjoy eating fruit-covered chocolate from a

chocolate fountain. Fun with Chocolate is led by Lin Kohlhofer at the Community Centre. For grades 5 to 7 it runs from 10 to 11:30 a.m. Grades 7 to 9 attend from 1 to 2:30 p.m. This program is sponsored in part by Real Canadian Super-store. Cost is $15.

■ Grades 2 to 5 who like to hammer can make and paint bird houses between 2 and 4 p.m. The $22 cost of the program includes all wood, nails and paint. Participants are asked to bring a ham-mer to the class at the Community Centre.

■ New this year, computer animation classes for grades 2 to 8 will teach students skills to produce a “Claymation” produc-tion. Participants will learn about story-boarding, miniature set design, character development, editing and the stop-start ani-mation process. The $40 session includes all equipment: laptops, camera, microphone, tripods, and model-ing clay. Classes for grades 2 to 5 will be

held between 9 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Grades 6 to 8 attend from 1:30 to 4 p.m. at the Com-munity Centre.

■ Hey, guys! It’s your turn to take over the Sportsplex! Dodgeball, soccer, wallyball, floor hockey with members of the Storm hockey team and messy, messy contests are just some of the activi-ties offered during the Boys Only Pro D Day program for grades 4 to 6 between noon and 3 p.m. The drop-in fee is $7 per person.

■ There will also be free Family Gym for little ones (walking to five years old) between10:30 and 11:30 a.m. at the Community Cen-tre. This free event is sponsored by Building Blocks and Family Place.

All Pro D Day pro-grams are offered at the Campbell River Community Centre, except for the Boys Only, which is held at the Sportsplex. For more information call the Community Centre, 250-286-1161 or the Sportsplex, 250-923-7911.
