City council is moving forward with a policy to manage public art pieces but how the program will be funded is still up in the air.
City staff were recommending the policy be funded with .301 per cent of the previous year’s overall oper-ating revenues, but council thought otherwise.
Coun. Ron Kerr was hesitant to commit to that kind of money in next year’s budget and suggested council wait until 2015.

Delivering smilesCole Percevault’s day got a whole lot better Friday afternoon when members of the Camp-bell River Storm visited him and other hospital patients and presented them all with new teddy bears. Percevault, 11, received one of the big-gest stuffed toys, but the tough-guy later said he’s going to give it to his nine-year-old sister.

holding the line,” Kerr said. “It seems inappro-priate to begin an initia-tive like this right at this present time but I’d really hate to see the public art policy go away and I really feel that this is one area that perhaps we could get hung up on.”
Coun. Claire Moglove, said that by holding off, it was delaying the inevi-table.
“The problem I see is that in 2015, the pres-sures on the operations budget we’re facing in 2014 aren’t going to be much different,” Moglove said. “We did our budget deliberations last week and the cost drivers asso-ciated with the budget, those pressures will con-tinue in 2015.
“I’m concerned that financing for the public art policy will fall by the wayside with those pres-sures.”
Moglove said council should adopt the pub-lic art policy without a financing strategy for the time being and that council should look at funding the policy through capital.
Coun. Andy Adams said council needed to find a new financing strategy but disagreed it should be put off until 2015.
“I’m loathe to encum-ber a future council with financial decisions,” said Adams, who suggested the funding come from new revenues instead of from the operations budget, or general taxa-tion. “If staff can come back with another struc-ture, that doesn’t directly impact taxation, I’d be more willing to take a look at it. I would suggest the funding formula be based on new revenues and the percentage come off of new revenues. The new revenues we’re going to see will come off the downtown area, which
is the area we want the public art policy to see the most impact.”
In the end, council approved a motion to adopt the public art policy without a fund-ing strategy but have city staff come back with a report outlining options for using a percentage of capital and a percentage of new revenues to fund the policy.
Public Art Policy
n Main goal of the policy is to support pub-lic art in the city and encourage respect for public art.
n Incorporate public art into the design and execution of selected civic and private devel-opments.
n Inclusion of artists in the design process of municipally owned spaces, including parks, pathways, benches, and streets.
n Create and manage a public art collection.
n Form a public art committee which will advise council on the policy and be responsi-ble for the selection and placement of all the pub-lic art work projects.

SUV fills with smokeFire crews extinguished a vehicle fire Monday morning. At 7:47 a.m., firefighters from the #1 hall were called out to the 1500 block of 14th Ave. where a parked Dodge Dakota was filling up with smoke. The owner had parked the vehicle and went to work when it appears that an electrical short started smouldering and filling the SUV with smoke. No one was hurt.

Council agreed last week to sign the city’s name to a letter urging the province to help local governments meet their energy reduction targets but not everyone was on board.
At the Dec. 17 council meeting, coun-cil was asked by the Pembina Institute to sign a letter of support requesting the B.C. government strengthen policies to help communities improve energy efficiency in residential buildings.
Campbell River was asked to sign the let-ter because it’s one of several municipalities
participating in the Green Building Lead-ers Program which exists to try and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from residential and commercial buildings in B.C.
Mayor Walter Jakeway, who was the first to speak, refused the request.
“I will not be supporting it,” Jakeway said. “I have not much use for the Pembina Insti-tute. I’ll be voting ‘no.’”
Coun. Andy Adams took a different view.“Appreciating your opinion, I’m not too
far different from it to be honest, however, in sitting at the (Advisory Planning and Environment) commission’s meeting and hearing the discussion of the commission members and also members of the devel-
opment community (I heard) that there was no objection or no concerns,” Adams said. “The reason that we have the com-mission is to advise us and as a result, I’ll be supporting this.”
The letter, which was written by the Pem-bina Institute, asks the province to support energy retrofit financing and funding; work with local governments to develop opt-in building regulations; explore and work towards a B.C. wide home labeling requirement; and advance smart mod-ernization of the B.C. building code. The requests are aimed at making it easier for B.C. municipalities and regional districts to meet their energy and climate objectives.

On Dec. 16 the Conservative federal government opted not to address the very urgent and growing problem that
is the Canadian Pension Plan.Instead of offering any sort of
meaningful reform or choosing to adequately fund CPP so that Canadians can expect to be taken care of - after having spent a lifetime of paying taxes - the Conservatives instead opted to do nothing, and presumably hope
the problem just goes away. It’s no secret that CPP is underfunded. And given the country’s demographics -
with millions of Canadians facing retirement in coming years - this is an issue that can’t be put off any longer.
Seniors now make up close to 15 per cent of Canada’s population, totalling more than four4 million people. And with the median age in Canada now over 40 years old for the first time ever, the issue of our aging population and how to take care of them isn’t going away.
The issue is clear to see: Canadians are living longer, and as a result, drawing on CPP more than in generations past. As result, we need to do a better job of funding CPP if we want it to work. Finance minister Jim Flaherty needn’t worry about his own financial future, of course.
As an MP who has served more than six years in the house of commons, Flaherty has a gold-plated taxpayer-funded pension to draw on for the rest of his life, upon his retirement.
The rest of us aren’t so lucky. Adequately funding CPP is the fiscally-responsible thing to do, but it is also politically difficult. As a result, the Conservatives have taken the easy way out, opting for the instant gratification of low taxes in the present at the cost of a stable future for our citizens. And isn’t that how we got into this mess in the first place?

It’s a tough go anytime you stay in hos-pital; harder still during a special time of year, like the Christmas holidays.
And it must be especially difficult when you’re just a kid and they’re not really sure what’s wrong with you.
That’s the situation I found Cole Per-cevault in last Friday at the Campbell River Hospital.
I was there too, tagging along with the Campbell River Storm junior hockey players who were handing out new teddy bears and plush toys to patients.
It’s something the club does every year and team owner Kevin Spooner – look-ing like a kid himself as he joined in on the giving fun – said it’s important for the players to be actively involved in their community and to help others.
It’s fun to photograph too, but I wasn’t about to barge into every room with the players and start popping off the flash, scaring the bejesus out of some sick soul in a flimsy hospital nightgown.
No, I went where you go when you want the scoop, the lowdown, the goods on everything happening in the ward: the nursing station.
“Come with me, we have someone spe-cial,” said one of the ever-helpful nurses as I followed her to a room. “He’s really looking forward to meeting the players.”
I guess it’s just habit and assumption that you’ll find someone elderly in a hos-pital bed. That’s usually the case, but not always.
In this room on the second floor was an 11-year-old boy with his mom at the
bedside.After introductions, I asked Cole what
was wrong.He shrugged, “Don’t know.”“They’re going to send us to Vancou-
ver,” his mom added.They said it so quietly, yet the news was
like a punch to the gut.I didn’t let it show though – just
couldn’t because Cole was looking back at me with the bravest little smile I’ve ever seen.
I could see some fear and maybe even a tear, but Cole’s determined look was not about to betray any weakness, especially with his heroes about to enter the room.
Cole’s a Storm fan and his face lit up as the players – boys themselves still – bounced into the room, full of energy
and natural good cheer.“Who’s your favourite? Come on,
who?” the players asked Cole. “Severs? You like Jamie Severs?”
Cole smiled wider and nodded “ya” as the always-energetic Severs smiled right back. Then they handed Cole a teddy bear which really didn’t mean as much as having the entire junior hockey team in your hospital room.
“Wait, we have something really spe-cial for you,” said another player as he returned with a huge stuffed lap dog.
The toy was almost twice the size of Cole who was still smiling wide as the players moved on to the next room.
He looked admiring at the big dog, laid a his hand on its head and said, “I think I’ll give it to my little sister.”
It is with great regret and sadness that we heard of the recent passing of one of Campbell River’s more prominent personalities, Barrie Brown.
Barry was a great supporter of Campbell River and District Food Bank Society. In the mid-90’s, Barry decided we could use a pickup truck to do our daily business, so he donated one, complete with canopy, to us. He added a maintenance contract and a few years later when he realized our truck’s tires were bald, he replaced them.
We still drive that truck bearing his name and sponsor-ship. We have put hundreds of miles on our Barry Brown truck and even though it is showing its age, it is still an active and integral part of our daily life.
Gone but never forgotten...we remember Barry for his generosity, his spirit and his support.
Debbie Willis on behalf of the board of directors, staff and volunteers of the Campbell River and District Food Bank Soci-ety

There were some extra smiles on Christmas morn-ing for one Port Hardy family, following the return of a way-ward sack of Christmas gifts in time for the big day.
After hearing that the Say-
ward RCMP were looking for the owner of a found bag of Christmas gifts, Tiffany Char-lie wasted no time calling in to claim them.
It seems that the bag of gifts fell out of a family member’s
pick-up truck during trans-port between Sayward and Port Hardy last weekend.
Investigators went through the list of items with Tiffany, checking it twice, and were left with no doubt that that
they were hers. For obvious reasons, Santa
had asked the RCMP to keep the list to themselves for now.
With time running out to get these gifts back to the Charlie family, Cpl. Milo
Ramsey made the trip from Sayward to Port Hardy Dec. 20.
“It was a great feeling to return these gifts, knowing that they will bring happiness to some deserving children
in a few days time”, said Cpl. Milo Ramsey, Detachment Commander for the Sayward RCMP. “Sometimes it is the simplest of gestures that bring out the true spirit of the holi-days.”

PAUL RUDAN/THE MIRRORPerfect hair...always!Kerry Fraser was always known as one of the best referees in the National Hockey League, but he was better known for his immaculate coiffure. Now retired from reffing the big boys, Fraser was in Campbell River on Monday night to officiate the charity hockey match between the NHL Oldtimers and the local Law Enforcement club. The undermanned Law Enforcement team weren’t much of a match for the Oldtimers which included Hall of Famers Bryan Trot-tier and Glenn Anderson. Even a couple lopsided trades didn’t help the Cops who fell 17-12...or something like that. See more photos on Page A31.

BC Hydro crews were going flat out much of Monday to repair wind damage that caused power outages from south of Willow Point to north and west of Campbell-ton.
Wind gusting above 100 kilometres Sunday sent a tree crashing onto power lines downtown.
Campbell River Community Centre employees came to work Monday morning to find a cold and dark building.
The centre’s computer system was still idle Monday afternoon. The nearby Scotia-bank was in the dark much of the day.
In all there were more than 25 outages across the city affecting more than 700 cus-tomers.
Residents of the Quinsam Indian Reserve were also in the dark.Outages on Quadra and
Cortes islands affected more than 2,000 customers on Mon-day. More than 500 customers were still without power on the islands on Tuesday.
The Sunday storm also forced cancellation of Camp-bell River to Quadra and Quadra to Cortes ferry sail-ings. Cancellations on the two routes continued into Tuesday.

The VERY BEST SUSHIin Campbell River!
The Campbell River Coordinators of the S h o e b o x P r o j e c t extended thanks every-one who participated in the Shoebox Project for women in Campbell River who have accessed shelter services this past year.
They more than dou-bled their goal of 72 by filling 155 shoeboxes with personal items that women having a diffi-cult time in their lives may not be able to buy for themselves. All the brightly decorated shoe-boxes for the women were delivered to the Campbell River and North Island Transition Society by Dec. 17. The response to the project was much greater than expected and so besides providing the gifts to the women who have accessed shelter services this past year, shoeboxes were distributed to other women in need in our community.
This was the first year for the Shoebox Project in Campbell River, coor-dinated by Alison Skrep-neck and Susan Dyson.
“We are amazed and overwhelmed by the response. This has been so heart-warming to see the love, thought and care people put into making the shoeboxes for the women,” said Skrepneck.
Susan Dyson said “I didn’t think it would be so emotional. This is so
positive for the women receiving the gifts, those filling the shoeboxes with personal items, the drop off locations and ourselves as coordina-tors. It has such a ripple effect.”
It has been wonderful to see such generosity and the community pull-ing together.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to those who filled the shoeboxes with personal items and donated the extras for the women, and to all the staff at our 3 drop-off locations for their support especially Cheryl Lagos and Cary Ann Crowther at Coastal Credit Union, Tara Nel-son at Serendipity in the Garden, and Kathy and
Tracy Plato at Sundance Java Bar. It was exciting to hear their stories and enthusiasm as more and more shoeboxes arrived at their locations. We’d also like to thank those in the community who promoted the project, the Shoebox Project volunteers, and staff of Campbell River and North Island Transi-tion Society with special mention to Valery Puetz, Susan Trayler, Melanie Towle, and Sonja Mus-senden for their words of encouragement and all
their help along the way to make this project such a huge success!
The Shoebox Project for Shelters is a non-profit initiative and believes that a small ges-ture can make a big dif-ference. It was begun in Toronto by four sisters-in-law in 2011 and now operates in many cities across Canada. The proj-ect was new to Campbell River this year. For more information about the Shoebox Project go to www.shoeboxproject.com.

Did You Know. . .
Concussion is a Brain Injury? You don't have to have passed out to have suffered a concussion. Some people will have obvious symptoms of a concussion, such as passing out or forgetting what happened right before the injury. Others will only experience brief gaps in memory or disorientation.Minor concussions can cause serious problems. Repeated concussions or a severe concussion may lead to long-lasting problems with movement, learning or speech. Because of the small chance of permanent brain problems, it is important to get the right diagnosis and treatment. We can act onyour behalf to get you the best medical specialist possible.

CATHERINE GILBERTMUSEUM AT CAMPBELL RIVER
Fifty-four years ago, in 1949, Campbell Riv-erites were looking for-
ward to attending a New Year’s dance being held at the Camp-bellton Community Hall.
In the early hours of the morning of Dec. 31 of that year however, around 3:30 a.m., the roof and walls of the hall col-lapsed from the heavy weight of over two feet of show that had been piling up on the roof. Only the two end walls were left standing.
Fortunately, no one was in the building at the time – had it happened during the evening of the dance, there could well have been a number of injuries or even fatalities.
The Campbell River Courier on Jan. 4, 1950 reported: “The loss of the hall is a great blow to residents of the district as it was the only hall in the imme-diate vicinity large enough to accommodate large size gath-erings.”
The 49- by 68-foot hall, located on the Island Highway where the Mohawk service station stands today, had been built by volunteer labour in 1925, but the interior was not actually completed nor equipped with sanitary facili-ties until November of 1949.
A busy place, it served as the town’s social centre for concerts, receptions, films, dances, parties, high school graduation exercises and wed-ding receptions. Around the time the hall collapsed, people had been talking about the
need for a better and larger hall, “as the old hall was prov-ing inadequate for the amount of activity that was going on.” (Helen Mitchell, Diamond in the Rough)
As it happened, the Royal Canadian Legion had been thinking in the same vein and donated land it owned on 11th Ave for that purpose. By 1952, a new community hall was under construction owing to fundraising efforts by the Kinsmen and Rotary Clubs, and plenty of volunteer help. Although only partially built, it was already in use as early as 1954. In 1958, a union strike at the paper mill meant that out-of-work tradesmen – electri-cians, carpenters and plumbers – were called upon to help with completion of the project. It was speculated that if it wasn’t for this, the building may never have been finished. By 1964, the Village of Campbell River
took over the hall from the Kinsmen Club for the nominal fee of one dollar.
Although it served the com-munity well when Campbell River was just a village of a
few thousand people, the town eventually outgrew this hall, and it was demolished entirely in March of 2000 to make way for the present day community centre.
Like the old Campbellton hall, it had served various purposes and many had fond memories of dances and even roller skating activities that went on there. Incidentally, the unique edge-grained plywood floor that was the centrepiece of the original building was sal-vaged by the Daybreak Rotary Club and used in the Maritime Heritage Centre.
If you are looking for the history behind any of Camp-bell River’s buildings, visit the Museum at Campbell River archives and museum staff will be pleased to assist.

Confusion over new council appointments to the Strathcona Regional District board saw one councillor miss out on a vice-chair position and resulted in two council-lors showing up to sit in the same seat.
The Dec. 12 board meeting happened to be the regional dis-trict’s inaugural meet-ing which is tradition-ally the first meeting for the new set of Camp-bell River councillors elected to the regional district board.
The new appointees, Coun. Andy Adams and Coun. Ryan Men-nie, both showed up at the inaugural meeting to take their seats at the table.
However, outgoing director Coun. Larry Samson also arrived for the meeting.
That’s because when council voted last week on its new appointments to the board, the motion specified that “the term of the appointments run from January 1, 2014
until council’s inaugu-ral meeting on Dec. 2, 2014.”
Samson ended up giving his seat to Men-nie and left before the meeting started and Adams took the seat of Mayor Walter Jakeway who did not show up for the meeting.
But because Mennie and Adam’s appoint-ments aren’t supposed to take effect until Janu-ary 1, both councillors sat through last Thurs-day’s meeting as alter-nates.
The only glitch was that Adams, as an alter-nate, was not able to accept a nomination from Quadra Director Jim Abram as vice-chair of the board.
Council made its appointments to the regional district board at its financial planning meeting on Dec. 10.
The city has been rotating its four coun-cillors representatives to the board on an annual basis in an effort to ensure equal compensa-tion for all councillors.
The two councillors who are not appointed
as directors serve as alternates in the event a councillor cannot attend a meeting.
In Mayor Jakeway’s report to council on the appointments, he noted that Coun. Samson had requested to serve as an alternate in 2014 and Coun. Moglove asked to stay on the board so she could continue to serve as chair of the hospital board.
T h e c o u n c i l l o r s app oi nte d to t he regional district board are also automatically appointed as direc-tors on the board of the Comox Strathcona Regional Hospital Dis-trict and the Comox Strathcona Solid Waste service.

Honda’s contemporary on a dying breed2014 Honda Accord Coupe V6
It’s fascinating to watch trends in the auto industry play out over time. Some changes happen quickly, with one manufacturer coming out with a feature, then the rest of the industry following suit. Backup cameras would be a good example of this. Other trends are much slower, changing because of demographic fluctuations. One example of a slow-moving trend is the two-door coupe falling out of favour and its replacement by sedans and crossovers. This trend is greatly affected by baby boomers getting older and buying more for practical reason, rather than styling. In the 1980s, and even the beginning of the 90s, there were plenty of coupes to choose from and they sold well. But where are the Honda Prelude, Toyota Celica, Pontiac Sunfire and Ford Probe coupes? Now gone and many not re-placed with newer models. I’m thrilled to report that there are a few coupes still available and one that is worthy of consideration is this new 2014 Honda Accord Coupe V6.
Looks The Accord Coupe is based on the all-new Accord sedan that has been selling very well for Honda. In fact, it won the Canadian Car of the Year this year as decided by the Automobile Journalist Association of Canada. Honda has done a good job of updating this big coupe with a more modern twist. Sold in three configurations from the base EX to the EX-L Navi (L stand for leather and navi is self-explanatory),
which are both 4-cylinder equipped models. The top trim is the EX-L Navi with V6. This top trim level is the model seen here: it comes with LED projector head-lamps, 18-inch wheels and duel chrome exhaust tips. The 4-cylinder equipped models come with halogen headlamps and 17-inch alloy wheels. The coupe starts at $26,400, a $2,500 premium over the regular sedan but when the sedan is equipped with alloy wheels, the price is almost identical. The EX-L is $30,100 for the leather and navi and the V6 premium is $35,500. Not an inexpensive car but most are very well equipped.
Inside It’s a big and comfortable coupe. The back seat is actually usable for adults and the front seats are very comfortable. The trunk is huge and the back seat folds for extra long items but the seats do not split and fold, plus the opening to the back seat is small. Standard feature on all Accord models is a backup camera and heated seats. Honda, in my opinion, has raised the bar in the mid-sized category and produced the nicest dash I have seen in this class. There are two screens in the centre console, one for the navigation unit and the other for the radio. They are framed in beautiful, high quality satin metal, chrome and soft touch materials. One area that could be improved is the
way the radio stores and retrieves pre-set radio stations. It took a long time to set the stereo up and having to go back and forth between different screens is not that intuitive. The rest of the dash is large, with big cup holder and plenty of storage areas. The steering wheel buttons and heat controls on the dash use first rate switches and they are placed with precision.
Drive Another trend that Honda is bucking, with this Accord Coupe, is the inclusion of a 6-speed manual transmission and V6 engine. The latest movement is to turbo or super-charged 4-cylinder engines to replace V6 power plants and duel clutch automatic transmission in favour of a manual. I’m glad that Honda still offers this layout; it shows they are serious about being a true enthusiast’s car company. Granted, most buyers will get the very good 6-speed automatic transmission with the 3.5L V6, but with 278hp and 252 lb.-ft. of torque it will be a very lively car in either configuration. The manual is a joy to use and it is like a throwback to drive a V6 equipped manual car. The 4-cylin-der models have 185hp from a direct injection 2.4L engine and either a manu-al transmission or continuously variable transmission (CVT) for added fuel sav-ings. The CVT is capable of 7.8L/100km in the city and 5.7L on the highway. The
V6 uses more at 10.0L/100km in the city and 6.1L on the highway.
Verdict When I started reviewing cars back in the early 1990s, cars like this were common: a mid-sized sedan with a V6 engine and a manual transmission. I can clearly remember driving a Toyota Camry, Nissan Maxima and Accord equipped this way. While most compa-nies are moving away from this design, Honda is sticking with it for now. Soon Honda will have smaller turbo-charged 4-cylinder engines available and this big coupe might too be fitted with something more efficient. If you like the idea of a smart looking car that is well equipped and powerful, you might want to move on an Accord Coupe V6 before it follows the latest trend.

Pruning trees and shrubs is necessary to ensure they maintain their health and vigor. Trees and shrubs should be inspected annually to determine if they need to be pruned. Mature trees typically do not need to be pruned as frequently as young trees, which need pruning to establish branch structure. Trees and shrubs that go years without pruning can become overgrown and weak. In addition to promoting tree and shrub health, pruning pays a host of other dividends.
* Pruning removes dead or diseased branches. Pruning helps a tree or shrub maintain its shape and vigor by removing broken, dead or diseased branches that can be unsightly and make it more di� cult for the tree or shrub to stay healthy. When broken, dead or diseased branches are removed, trees or shrubs look healthier and add aesthetic appeal to a property.
* Pruning trees and shrubs promotes growth of other plants. Trees and shrubs that go years without being pruned become overgrown, making it di� cult for plants underneath or adjacent to them to grow in healthy. For example,
The bene� ts of pruning trees and shrubsgrass beneath an overgrown tree might not get adequate sunlight, which it needs to establish strong roots so it can grow in lush and healthy. Pruning allows plants beneath the tree and shrub and even those next to the tree and shrub to grow in nicely.
* Pruning can sometimes bring plants back to life. Shrubs that have gone years without being pruned can sometimes still be salvaged. In some instances, pruning such shrubs can restore natural and healthy growth.
* Pruning reduces risk of accidents. Overgrown trees can interfere with power lines, increasing the risk of accidents and power outages. In addition, overgrown trees tend to have larger, weaker limbs, which can prove hazardous and cause property damage during storms. Pruning overgrown trees reduces the risk of such accidents.
* Pruning can save money. Over time, overgrown trees might require professional assistance in order to be removed or pruned from a property. Homeowners who prune their trees as needed can
save themselves the cost of a potentially pricey tree service.
* Pruning adds curb appeal. A property littered with overgrown trees and shrubs hurts a home’s curb appeal, giving prospective buyers the impression that homeowners might have been careless with regard to maintaining the whole house and not just the lawn. But trees and shrubs that are pruned and well-maintained can add to a home’s curb appeal, something that goes a long way toward impressing prospective buyers.

Strathcona Regional District directors stuck with familiar faces when it came to appointments to external boards.
At the board’s inaugu-
ral meeting on Dec. 12, directors were tasked with appointing a rep-resentative to outside boards.
First up was the Van-couver Island Regional Library board, which meets in Nanaimo.
Area A Director Ger-ald Whalley nominated Area D Director Brenda Leigh who has served for the last several years.
Leigh was appointed by acclamation and acknowledged for all the time she has put in
by new chair Jim Abram (Quadra Island director).
“You’ve done a great job and I’m sure you’ll do a great job in the future,” Abram said.
The next task was to approve an alternate in the event Leigh can’t
make a meeting. The board was hesitant
and Leigh tried to assure directors that it wouldn’t be a difficult task.
“Whoever takes it will probably never have to go, I’m always there,” Leigh said.
Cortes Island Director Noba Anderson, who has served as the alter-nate, agreed.
“I’ve had it for the past four or five years and I’ve never gone,” Anderson said.
Whalley offered to take
the position.“Okay, sign me up.”The board then made
its community rep-resentative appoint-ment to the Strathcona Gardens Commission and re-appointed Cal Grunerud.

After the scrumptious success of the
fall cooking class series, the Immigrant Welcome Centre is announcing the next series in Janu-ary 2014.
The cooking classes will be held every Tuesday evening at the Robron Centre, room A114, on Jan. 7, 14, 21, and 28, from 6 to 8 p.m. Each class is $35, or the series of four classes is on sale for $100. All registration fees are donated to the Interna-tional Women’s Group in support of their activ-ities, day trips, and guest speakers.
This session will fea-ture mouth-watering,
authentic dishes from Japan, Italy, China, and Vietnam.
At each class, chef instructors from abroad, who now call Campbell River home, will share their kitchen tips and tricks, and their recipes. Participants will receive a cookbook of the reci-pes so they can continue their cultural cooking at home.
The cooking class series is a welcoming atmosphere to share, not only the chefs’ secrets, but also the stories of their journeys to Canada.
“We encourage the participants to ask us questions about our home countries and our
voyage here,” said chef Khammy Quan. Their stories are absolutely uplifting.
To register or for more information, please contact the Commu-nity Engagement team at (250) 830-0171 or [email protected]
The Immigrant Wel-come Centre serves the Comox Valley, Campbell River and North Island. They provide services to immigrants to help them integrate and settle into Canada. Over 600 clients have been served in the past year as immigration continues to bring innovative and skilled newcomers to the community.
Learn to whip up some cultural cuisine
You too can become a blur in the kitchen after learning to cook international dishes through cooking classes put on by the Immigrant Welcome Centre.
Last June, some School District 72 elementary school principals were asked for school supply dona-tions for a rural school in the Baja, California state of Mexico.
Gordon Burkholder was delighted with the response from students, staff and principals at Ripple Rock, Penfield and Oyster River Elementary Schools.
“The donated boxes of new and used pencil crayons, pens and pencils, erasers, rulers, notebooks and paper filled my truck and my heart,” Burkholder said.
Early on the morning of Monday, Dec. 9 the sup-plies were taken out of their storage places in prepara-tion of the arrival of the teachers and children of the Jose Vasconcelos Escuela Primaria Rural.
“After greetings and introductions I managed to convey the idea that we had come to give gifts to their children from the school children in Campbell River,” Burkholder said..
The children were assembled in the courtyard and arranged by age in single file. The principal, Rosa Perez explained the situation and the procedure for getting their gifts. After that they came up to the tables set out and were given a box of supplies.
In English or Spanish they all said thank-you for the gifts and they showed in their eyes how appreciative they were to receive these small presents. The young-est could hardly contain their enthusiasm and were headed back to class ready to open the bags but were called back to their place to wait until everyone had their gift. A few final words and a round of applause from the staff and students and the event was ended.
Campbell River school children share with those of Liqui, BCS, Mexico
Mexican school kids investigate their gifts.

In Memory of Michael PallanNov. 19, 1965 - Dec. 29, 1996
Th e passing of time, seventeen years, seems like yesterday.Your cheery smiling face, kind demeanor, sparkling eyes,
We remember with heartfelt thoughts, Like it was only a short time ago. Some of the mischievous pranks,
You were noted for are fond memories, Th at time cannot erase.
Time, the uncontrollable element, will march on, But it cannot diminish our memories of when you were amongst us.
In our hearts and minds forever.Love Mom and Dad

Kevin Ngo is the recipi-ent of the Keen Halleran Memorial Scholarship for 2013 presented by Campbell River Friends of Music.
The Keen Halleran Scholarship Fund was first established in May 2003, as the Halleran Scholarship by Frances Keen (1955-2006) in recognition of her high school band/choir and piano teachers, Noreen and Mickey Halleran of Quesnel, B.C. Unfortu-nately, Keen passed away before she could finish her project.

The Scholarship Fund benefits a piano student who: n Has stud-ied for a minimum of one year in School District 72 (Campbell River) n Is continuing to study piano at university n Has com-pleted at least the first year of an undergradu-ate degree in music or is in a postgraduate degree program in music n Is a full-time student
Ngo is studying in
a Masters Program in Piano Performance at Texas Tech University.
A former Carihi gradu-ate who studied under Keen, Kay Wilson and
then Cindy Taylor, Ngo completed his ARCT Performers Diploma in 2006. Since then he has pursued his musical studies and performed as
a soloist and collabora-tive pianist accompany-ing local school choirs and instrumentalists in addition to organizing and performing in local
benefit concerts. Ngo maintains a high
academic standing and has earned top honours in piano performance comp et it ions whi le
studying.Ngo embodies the
principles of the Keen Halleran Scholarship by pursuing excellence in his performance studies
and more importantly, by making music accessible and providing opportu-nities in the community for the enjoyment of musical performance.

An hour a day of fitness can be made fun, espe-
cially when it is coupled with other healthy choices like eating right.
That’s the goal of the 60 Minute Kids’ Club, a fun and engaging online program designed to help get elementary school-aged children active.
The 60 Minute Kids’ Club is now looking to expand its community reach by partnering with Black Press.
“Our strong commit-ment to healthy com-munities is well-served in our partnership with the 60 Minute Kids’ Club,” says Randy Blair, president of Black Press’ Lower Mainland and
Vancouver Island divi-sions. “The benefits of active families are so numerous, it will deliver increasingly great news”.
“We want to make (children being healthy) even more of a commu-nity effort,” says Gillian Thody, Western Canada manager of the 60 Min-ute Kids’ Club.
And that means engaging more parents on the importance of their children making healthy choices, while demonstrating healthy choices themselves. These include physical literacy (playing for at least 60 minutes each day), eating healthy (including five or more vegetables and fruits daily and eliminating sugar and sweetened drinks), and cutting back on computer and
TV time (two hours or less). Two 60-day chal-lenges and one 45-day challenge are held throughout the school year, skipping over busy times and holidays.
The first challenge of the year from Oct. 1 to Dec. 1 has just wrapped up, with the second challenge set to begin Jan. 15. Schools across Canada partici-pate at the same time. Schools can sign up for the challenge at www.60minkidsclub.org.
Each student logs in and tracks their own progress, receiv-ing points for each log in, which aggregate under their school. This enables organiz-ers to determine the most active kids, grades, schools, districts,
regions and provinces across Canada.
The 60 Minute Kids’ Club, which is aligned with Canadian Sport for Life, originated in 2009 with Innovative Fitness, a personal training busi-ness. At that time 5,000 Kindergarten through Grade 6 students in five schools in B.C., Ontario and Nova Scotia partici-pated in a pilot program which produced encour-aging results.
In 2012, 70 schools in B.C. were involved and the program has now expanded to Alberta and Manitoba.
“We hope this year to engage 100 schools in B.C.,” says Thody.

60 Minute Club is all about fitness, fun
60 Minute Club initiative aims to get children active and parents on the same healthy page.

Mainstream Canada Young Masters con-cluded their league play for the calender year with an important 3-1 victory over a hard working Juan De Fuca in Langford Dec. 15.
The win keeps the Division 4 Men’s side at the top of the league as they enter the New Year.
The Young Masters began well with Jason Fawkes, Kevin Shelswell, Mark Ross and Jacob Blanchard moving the ball about well and win-ning the vast majority of the challenges.
Up front Wyatt Bryce and Connor Fairweather worked in tireless fash-ion but couldn’t find the net despite getting close on numerous occasions.
Meanwhile at the back, keeper Aidan Anderson was strong and smart
with his distribution. Despite dominating
most of the possession, the Campbell River side found it difficult to score and indeed found themselves tied at 0-0 going in at half time.
The second half saw the River side move to a more attacking 3-5-2 formation in the hope of releasing the powerful Ross and Blanchard into more offensive posi-tions.
It seemed to work as Blanchard scored the opening goal after 65 minutes of play. At the back, Colton Reesor, Mohamed Boukhouali and Tyler Kelly played very well and nullified any threat to goal.
The Mainstream Canada boys increased their lead to two after Bryce was brought down
in the 18 yard box and he scored the resulting penalty kick.
Juan De Fuca were not giving up without a fight and an excellent individual goal by Kris Walushka brought it back to a one goal game. Once again the partner-ship of Shane Dumanoir and Bryce was to prove too much for the hosts defence and after some neat passing Bryce secured the third goal after 84 minutes.
The boys headed into Christmas break with an impressive record of nine wins and one tie. They stand three points clear at the top above Zgoda Juniors and have a crucial home game on Jan 18 against Vic West Casuals who lie in third place six points adrift of the league leaders.
