Larry Stefanyk demonstrates his fly-tying skills at Save-On Foods to promote a program where the store will donate $1 to the Pacific Salmon Founda-tion for every 1,000 More Points donated by customers.

The Pacific Salmon Foundation has announced a partnership with Save-on-Foods in Campbell River.

A donation-matching program

was launched in early January and will support salmon conser-vation, enhancement and res-toration activities in the local region. The foundation is look-

ing towards its annual Camp-bell River Dinner & Auction on Saturday, Feb. 9, at which Save-on-Foods support will be high-lighted.

The partnership is based on the More Rewards program, which enables shoppers to accu-mulate points with each pur-

An outside consultant will recommend a new pay rate for Strathcona Regional District offi-cials after some directors decided they are uncomfortable setting their own wages.

Last month Maurice Lamb of Lamb and Associates reviewed the regional district’s remunera-tion bylaw, which sets directors’ wages, but his report did not include a clear enough recom-mendation for some directors who want better instruction.

Brenda Leigh, director for Area D, said it would be inappropriate for board members to decide each others’ salaries.

“It will get ugly. It will fracture our board,” Leigh said at a board meeting Jan. 24. “I don’t want to set my own pay. I want my pay to be according to what’s fair around the province. I don’t want to set my own pay and I don’t want any-one around this board to set it for me.”

Director Mary Storry, also a Campbell River city councillor, suggested the board invite Lamb back to present a clear recommen-dation to the board at a special Committee of the Whole meet-

ing. That motion was passed by the board but not all directors were in agreement.

Coun. and Director Larry Samson said it was shirking their responsibilities.

“I’m opposed to the motion,” he said. “To me this is just passing the buck and getting someone else to make our decision for us. Here’s the information and we have to take the information and make our decision on the best information avail-able.”

That information was compiled in Lamb’s report and was gener-ated partly through individual interviews and consultation with each individual board member.

Leigh said part of the process was iden-tifying the roles and responsibilities of each director.

“I gave Mr. Maurice Lamb a report on the work that I do and he knows how hard an electoral area director works, the workload is obviously heavy,” Leigh said. “Remuneration-wise we’re so unappre-ciated. If my constitu-ents knew what I was

making they would be appalled. I don’t do it for the money.”

According to the Strathcona Regional District’s 2011 Finan-c i a l S t a t e m e n t s , re gional directors made the following sal-aries: Craig Anderson ($49,062), Jim Abram ($32,477), Gerald Whal-ley ($28,348), Noba Anderson ($27,615), Leigh ($27,493), Ted Lewis ($17,528), Claire Moglove ($14,618) , Storry ($13,643), John MacDonald ($13,618), Ryan Mennie ($1,349), Andy Adams ($1,224) and Jude Schooner ($719). Schooner did not serve a full year as it was an election year and therefore didn’t take office until December 2011.

Lamb said in his report the Strathcona Regional District is in the top 75 per cent of B.C. regional district pay rates.

Adams said a provin-cial comparison is help-ful but added he would rather see a B.C.-wide pay rate established by one official body.

“The problem I have is when you have a bunch of consultants going around getting varying figures,” he

said. “I would be more of an advocate of going through AVICC (Asso-ciation of Vancouver Island and Coastal C o m m u n i t i e s ) o r UBCM (Union of B.C. Municipalities) to get a benchmark established for regional districts province-wide.”

Storry agreed.“I think we should

pursue UBCM,” she said, adding that hav-ing Lamb return to present a recommen-dation to the board doesn’t mean what he suggests has to be adopted.

“We’re asking him to give us a recommenda-tion,” Storry said. “It doesn’t mean we’re going to take it. It’s just to start the discussion. We’re not shrugging our responsibility to our electorate, we’re just finding a place to start.”

It may, however, be difficult for Lamb to come up with a clear recommendation as Lamb notes there is a lack of consistency and logic around the prov-ince when it comes to regional district pay levels.

“As a result it is dif-ficult to make a recom-mendation on changing remuneration levels in Strathcona Regional District based solely on survey data,” Lamb writes in his report. “Therefore it is recom-mended that position

profiles be developed that would assist the board and the public with a clear under-standing of the role and responsibilities of the three positions held as a regional dis-trict board member.”

Having said that, Lamb is recommend-ing the Strathcona Regional District adopt pay levels comparable to the Central Koote-nay Regional District – the highest in the province.

chase. Customers may visit the Campbell River Save-on-Foods store any time to donate 1,000 More Rewards points to generate $1 for the Foundation. Store manager Dave Madiuk has committed to matching each donation.

Volunteer dinner chairman and publisher of Island Fisherman magazine, Larry E. Stefanyk, vis-ited the store in January to unveil the new program. Several fun in-store activities were featured, including a spin the wheel promo-tion and a fly tying demonstra-tion.

“Save-on-Foods is a great part-ner for us to become involved with because their mandate to give back to the communities in which their stores are located aligns with our community based, volunteer-oriented programming,” said Ste-fanyk.

In 2012, Pacific Salmon Founda-tion granted $6,750 to three salmon projects in the Campbell River

region. Since 1990, more than $790,000 has been directed into 109 projects in the area.

Through local fundraising efforts and community partnerships, vol-unteers have leveraged that fund-ing to equal a total value of more than $5.5 million.

The Foundation’s annual Camp-bell River Dinner & Auction will be held at the Fraternal Order of Eagles Hall.

This year’s event will be Carib-bean themed (costumes encour-aged but not required). The eve-ning will kick off at 5:30 p.m. with a cocktail reception and silent auc-tion, followed by dinner at 7 p.m. and a live auction at 8:30 p.m.

It will feature delicious seafood appetizers, a gourmet buffet din-ner, and exciting raffles and auc-tions.

The event is nearly sold out, but if you are interested in purchasing tickets or supporting the Pacific Salmon Foundation, contact Ste-fanyk at 250-923-0939 or [email protected].

Campbell River’s vol-unteer firefighters are getting a $2 an hour raise.

Wages for Camp-bell River auxiliaries, which are among the lowest in the province, will increase from $11.25 to $13.25 for fire-fighters while volun-teer officers’ wages are going up from $11.50 to $13.50.

Fire Chief Ian Baikie said it works out to be a $25 monthly increase and $300 more a year based on an auxiliary firefighter’s normal workload of 150 hours annually. The raise sets a typical yearly wage for a volunteer firefighter at $1,987.50 a year. Baikie said he felt the increase was “really well-deserved” considering the work the members put in.

“They do so much for the community and I

think it’s really impor-tant that we show some appreciation by mov-ing them up a little bit,” Baikie said. “A look around the prov-

ince finds we’re well behind.”

According to Baikie, most B.C. communi-ties pay their volunteer firefighters between

$15 to $22 per hour. Baikie told city coun-

cil at its budget plan-ning meeting last week that he would like to eventually get Camp-

bell River’s members closer to that mark.

“I didn’t want to bring it to you in a big chunk but I thought if we got on with it a bit

we could move towards the provincial standard over time,” he said.

The increase will cost the city $15,340 in the 2013 budget, which translates to a $1.39 residential tax increase for the aver-age assessed house-hold, but councillors felt a raise was well worth it.

“Beyond the job that they do for almost noth-ing, the auxiliaries are definitely an important part of the firefighting service we have in our community,” Coun. Ryan Mennie said. “It’s an ongoing issue to find them and keep them. I know this is a small piece to helping with that.”

Baikie noted that Campbell River has a great deal of success in recruiting volunteers.

The city currently has 20 auxiliaries and is fully staffed at the No. 1 Fire Hall (down-town) while at the No.

2 Fire Hall (Willow Point) there are 31 aux-iliaries, which exceeds the hall’s complement by one member.

“We’ve been recruit-ing intently for a num-ber of years and we’ve been having great suc-cess with both main-taining our standards and maintaining our people,” Baikie said.

City Manager Andy Laidlaw said volun-teers are key to the city as they help keep costs down for fire – a vital city service that takes up $4.6 million in the city’s 2013 base budget before the wage increase is factored in.

Coun. Andy Adams said council wanted to recognize the impor-tant role the firefight-ers play.

“This is helping those who help us,” Adams said. “They are cer-tainly a key volunteer component of our com-munity we just want to recognize.”

Good and bad news for taggers

Good news graffiti taggers, your work is capturing a lot of interest.

And now for the bad: You’re number-one collectors are cops.

Campbell River RCMP have been stockpiling photographs of taggers’ work and it’s all sitting in a file, waiting to be used as evidence when the spray-painter is caught.

That’s what happened Jan. 30, around 11 a.m., when a plain clothes officer caught a 17-year-old tagging a bus shelter on Maple Street by 16th Avenue.

After the officer arrested the youth, he checked the boy’s backpack and found four cans of spray paint. The young man’s handiwork is similar to graffiti found in other areas of the city and, as a result, the teen is facing multiple charges of mischief.

Robbery suspect sought by police

Police are looking for a man who stole two air fresheners from a gas station and assaulted the female clerk.

The incident occurred Feb. 1, around 6:30 p.m., at the Shell Gas Station in Willow Point, at the corner of the

Island Highway and Erickson Road.

The clerk saw the man take the two air fresheners and when he went to the counter to pay for other items, she, “challenged him to pay for the air fresheners,” said RCMP Cpl. Poppy Hallam.

According to police, the man grabbed the woman and tried to pull her over the counter. He then threw an object at her and fled in his vehicle. The Caucasian man is described as 6’1”, 200 pounds with a shaved head. He fled

in a black compact SUV, described as a Geo Tracker or Suzuki Sidekick.

Anyone with information is asked to contact RCMP or Crime Stoppers.

Broken business windows

Police are investigating two incidents of commercial vandalism in the downtown area.

On Feb. 1, at 11:54 p.m., someone threw a rock through the front window of Frenchman Tattoo on Ironwood Street.

The next morning Mounties received another report of a broken window. This one occurred at Campbell River

Optometry on 13th Avenue where someone used a large cement block to break the exterior portion of a double pane window.

In both cases the businesses were not entered. Police are seeking the public’s assistance for any information about these incidents.

Lock up before heading out

It’s the middle of winter and it seems like half the city’s residents are either in Mexico or Hawaii, soaking in the sunshine.

Thieves know this too and the tell-tale signs of vacationing homeowners are the stack of newspapers on the porch, an overflowing

mailbox, or a darkened house with no signs of life.

Police are reminding the public to take care of these things before they leave on holiday and to have someone check on their residence.

“If you are going away, please see that friends or family check on your house regularly, take in the mail and newspapers, turn on lights, turn on radios or televisions, and change the routine daily,” said RCMP Cpl. Poppy Hallam.

On Jan. 30, someone tried to break into a residence on Oxford Place. Two window screens had been removed and the culprit attempted to

pry open the garage door.

Hang onto those purses

Another unsuspecting shopper has been ripped off.

The latest theft occurred Jan. 27. The woman was grocery shopping when someone took her white IPhone 5 from the outside pouch on her purse.

Mounties are going over the store’s surveillance video in an attempt to identify the culprit.

From Jan. 9-22, police investigated at least five incidents of female shoppers having their purses stolen.

Anyone with information is asked to contact RCMP.

The RCMP Safety Bear and Constable Chris Sanchez vis-ited the Family Gym last Wednesday at the downtown Community Centre.

They were welcomed with high-fives, danc-ing, and even a game of ring-a-round the rosie. The children’s eyes were as big as saucers as Safety Bear walked through the doors of the gym.

The children also re c e ive d Po s i t ive Tickets from Const. Sanchez. The tickets, for free Cactus Cuts,” were donated by Bos-ton Pizza.

The Campbell River Women’s Centre is rising up in a big way to fight violence against women.

A flash mob will take over Spirit Square on Valen-tine’s Day, Feb. 14, to raise community awareness in one of the most visible ways possible.

“It’s about eliminat-ing violence against women worldwide by raising awareness,” says Georgette White-head, executive direc-tor of the Vancouver Island North Women’s Resource Society which operates the Women’s Centre.

Campbell River’s effort is one of several that will be taking place on the same day in more than 182 countries worldwide.

The movement, dubbed One Billion Rising, is an initiative of V-Day – a global activist movement to end violence against women and girls worldwide.

One Billion Rising is a special project to mark V-Day’s 15th anni-versary and the goal is to have one billion people stand up to demand an end to violence against

women.Whitehead says there has been

a lot of interest so far in the flash mob which will break out at noon in Spirit Square.

People are encouraged to come out and dance to a song earmarked specially for the occasion, called

Break the Chain.“V-Day wants the

world to see our col-lective strength, our numbers, our solidar-ity across borders,” says the One Billion Rising website.

It also offers a sober-ing statistic – that one in three women on the planet will be raped or

beaten in her lifetime. To view the dance to Break

the Chain, go to www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=fL5N8rSy4CU

There will be a live rehearsal in Campbell River Feb. 10 for those who want to learn the steps. For rehearsal location and sign up, e-mail [email protected]

The city estimates Campbell River will not have nearly enough rental units available to accommodate hun-dreds of construction crews that will descend on the community once two major projects get underway, possibly this year.

The city currently has 227 rental units available to rent and of those, the city is pre-dicting roughly 112 will be surplus and avail-able to construction crews working on the new Campbell River hospital and upgrades to the John Hart Dam Generating Station.

The city projects 60 more rental units will become vacant in the first half of 2013, but that will still leave the city short, according to Chris Osborne, the city’s planner.

“Data related to worker accommoda-tion demand from VIHA (Vancouver Island Health Author-ity) and BC Hydro has been requested and is expected to be released in the very near future,” Osborne said in a report to council. “From early discussions however it is anticipated that the likely demand will out-strip the estimated 112

unit capacity for most of the duration of the projects.”

Osborne said the city could be short “up to several hundred units.”

He said that opens the door to new resi-dential development projects in the city.

Mayor Walter Jake-way has a different idea.

He’d like to see the city provide opportuni-ties for homeowners to add secondary suites to their homes.

“With major proj-ects coming up, there’s going to be lots of peo-ple coming up here,” Jakeway said at a coun-cil meeting Aug. 14. “A great way to spread some income around town (would be) to get

staff to look at accom-modation in suites in homes.”

According to city staff, there are cur-rently 350 legal sec-ondary suites in the city and approximately 250 illegal secondary suites. Osborne said it’s likely there are more than 250 as that figure is based on properties receiving dual waste pick-up and there are likely further illegal suites operating with single waste pick-up.

There are 961 lots in the city that allow single family dwellings with secondary suites. Residential One, at 83 per cent, represents the majority of lots zoned for single fam-ily homes in the city and does not permit

secondary suites. How-ever, Osborne notes secondary suites are encouraged in the Sus-tainable Official Com-munity Plan.

“If properly regu-lated, secondary suites can form a valuable component of the housing stock, provid-ing affordable, mar-ket-based housing,” Osborne said. Second-ary suites can help the owner pay the mort-gage and allow families to stay together. For the tenant, the suites provide af fordable housing and a home with easy, ground level access. Osborne said the downside to sec-ondary suites is ille-gal suites not meeting health and safety stan-dards and an increase

in on-street parking. Osborne said coun-

cil should weight the drawbacks and the ben-efits and may want to reconsider broadening its zoning allowance for secondary suites.

“Given the forthcom-ing large projects at Campbell River Hos-pital and John Hart Dam, and the degree of public interest in secondary suites, coun-cil may therefore wish to revisit the issue,” Osbor ne said. The issue was on council’s agenda Tuesday night after the Mirror went

to press.Ste phen Watson,

spokesperson for BC Hydro, said in Novem-ber he has already received more than 30 enquiries from people offering their homes and B & Bs to construc-tion crews.

Preliminary esti-mates by BC Hydro predict the John Hart project will bring an average of 400 jobs per year to Campbell River, with year two likely seeing a peak of nearly 500 jobs. Accom-modations for workers are needed anywhere

from five years to a few weeks, depending on the worker’s role.

The BC Hydro proj-ect is still undergoing a review by the BC Utilities Commission which should be com-plete by spring 2013. If the project is approved, the $1.2 billion project could get underway this summer. Project completion is targeted for 2018. The hospital project is currently in the Request for Propos-als process and con-struction is expected to begin either late this year or in early 2014.

The long-time Chief Councillor of the We Wai Kai Nation has been re-elected.

Ralph Dick is back again to lead the nine-person Cape Mudge

Band Council while Kim Duncan is the lone new councillor.

The other incum-bents re-elected Jan. 31 to four-year terms are Brian Assu, Ted Assu, Keith “Sonny” Wilson, Jody Wilson-Raybould, Ted Lewis, Cindy Inrig

and Daniel Billy.The We Wai Kai

Nation has about 500 members mainly liv-ing on the reserves at Cape Mudge on Quadra Island and Quinsam in Campbell River.

Approximately 500 other band members

live off reserve.In the last few years,

the band council has focussed its business interests on develop-ing Quinsam Cross-ing commercial park and the scallop farm located off the east side of Quadra Island.

And one of its big-gest business ven-tures is expected to be finalized and for-mally announced this month.

The band, along with the Campbell River-based Pallan group, has formed the Middle

Point Harbour Limited Partnership.

The port facility, located just north of the city, is already home to the Quinsam Coal storage and load-ing facility, but the new partners envision much more.

They plan to expand the port operation, create a wood pellet manufacturing plant, and build a large dry dock and ship repair facility.

Middle Point would also have a commercial marina and log sort.

More tutors are needed for these programs: Adult Literacy tutors work with learners whose skills in reading, writing, and math are at a low level.

ESL tutors work with youth and adults who are learning English as their second language, (reading, writing, and pronunciation).

The above programs are free of charge, thanks to funding from the Government of Canada and the Province of British Columbia.

Training for volunteer tutors will be held in late February 2013. If you are interested in becoming a tutor for either program phone 250 923 1275 or email Julina Spetch at [email protected] for more information.

Tourism operators who pump millions of dollars into the local economy are preparing a cam-paign to save the picturesque Oki-sollo Channel from becoming a clearcut eyesore.

Members of the Discovery Island Marine Tourism Group say their concerns have fallen on the deaf ears of the B.C. Liberal Gov-ernment and the current logging operations will harm their indus-try for years.

“Gee, I guess it’s time to cut down all the trees,” said Ralph Keller, a spokesman for the group, in mus-ing about the government’s ratio-nale for green-lighting logging.

The tourism lobby group is not against logging, Keller stated, but are opposed to the current logging plans that will ruin magnificent viewscapes and scare away tour-ists. Keller operates Coast Moun-tain Expeditions and Discovery Islands Lodge on Quadra Island.

The tourism group is specifically concerned about two new logging operations on Sonora and Maurelle Islands, flanking Hole in the Wall – one of the most scenic areas for boaters and kayakers in the Dis-covery Islands. One operation is on land belonging to TimberWest while the other was contracted out by BC Timber Sales.

“The government thinks it’s 1955 and the forestry industry is

still king – it’s still important, but in Campbell River we’ve lost two sawmills and the pulp and paper mill,” he said.

And as the forestry industry went into decline, Keller added, the area’s fishing lodges retooled to cater to wildlife- and eco-tour-ism. This was done at consider-able expense, but has resulted in sustained economic growth that contributes millions of dollars annually.

“With logging we’re about a few jobs and few benefits for the local economy,” he said. “The tourism industry has grown up…yet our concerns are being ignored.”

According to Keller, in 2011, a survey was conducted of 57 tour-ism-related businesses that oper-ate in and around the Discovery Islands.

The survey indicated the busi-nesses generate approximately $22.3 million in annual revenue and employ more than 600 sea-sonal and full-time workers.

“There is still some salmon fish-ing, but this is not the larger part of the local tourism economy,” said Keller. “The Discovery Islands are the second largest wilderness tourism destination in B.C. after Tofino and the Pacific Rim.”

The group met twice with Pat Bell, Minister of Jobs, Tourism, and Innovation, and thought its economic clout might interest the pro-business Liberal government. They were wrong.

A prolific offender will spend more time behind bars for the bra-zen theft of thousands of dollars in jewelry from a Campbell River pawn shop.

Eddie John Nelson, 37, had already served a six-month sentence for possession of sto-len property. Then in Monday, in Campbell River provincial court, he received further jail time for the break and enter.

Crown prosecutor Tim Morgan admitted the case is convoluted, but it’s the result of Nelson being charged in two communities.

It was around 4 a.m., on July 15, 2011, when Nelson was joined by Tanya Lee Ellis and family members Arthur Michael Nelson and Bruce David Nel-son for a well-planned break-in at Campbell River Collateral located at 870 Island Highway.

Using a stolen Dodge Ram pickup, along with chains, the crew pulled off the store door and security bars causing considerable damage. The culprits were seen fleeing with various good and jewelry val-ued at approximately $19,000.

C a m p b e l l R ive r RCMP were alerted to the break-in at 4:23 a.m., but the thieves had already fled. Minutes later, police received a report of the suspect vehicle crashing into a Ford Explorer near the intersection of Thulin Street and 5th Avenue.

The caller reported seeing three men offloading goods from the pickup to a Chev-rolet pickup which had also been stolen.

W h e n o f f i c e r s arrived, they tended to the driver of the Explorer and learned the Chevy and culprits had sped off, heading north on Thulin. Later, the stolen truck was found in the parking

lot by City Hall.“It appears the group

responsible for these crimes had prepared in advance, stealing vehicles and parking them at a variety of locations should they be engaged by police,” said RCMP Sgt. Craig Massey, following the break-in. “The reck-less efforts to flee the area and disregard for other area residents is of particular concern to police.”

The same day, the pro-prietor of the Ocean Grove store reported that a set of chains was found in front of their business, suggesting it was also a target loca-tion.

The culprits got away, but were caught two weeks later after trying to sell huge amounts of jewelry in Nanaimo. Police caught up with the thieves and even-tually arrested all four who were later con-victed of either posses-sion of stolen property or break and enter.

Ellis received a 270-day jail sentence while Arthur Nelson got a year. Bruce Nelson received a $500 fine and two years proba-

tion while Eddie Nel-son was handed a six-month sentence and a year of probation.

However, during sentencing last May, Eddie Nelson had still not been charged with the B&E in Campbell River.

He wound up serving the first sentence, was released on a proba-tion order, but wound up back in jail last month for violating his curfew.

At Monday’s court appearance, Eddie Nel-son appeared by video from cells in Victoria. He pleaded guilty to break and enter, and the breach, and was given an additional four months jail time, less 10 days for time already served.

The sentence was a joint submission from both the Crown and the defence. The court heard that most of the stolen jewelry was recovered.

Eddie Nelson has now accumulated more than 40 convictions for a variety of offences. He plans to return to his job at Brown’s Bay Packing following his release from jail.

MORGAN OSTLERSPECIAL TO THE MIRROR

A basement clean up that unearthed a

silver memorial jug has kept some local garden club members puzzled for weeks.

A recent article in the Mirror created a flurry of emails and phone calls that soon resolved the mystery surrounding the tro-phy. The query began when a local retired pulp mill employee, John Coyle, contacted the chair of the pres-ent day Campbell River Garden Club, Elizabeth deMunck. He told her he had been cleaning up his shelves and discov-ered the jug in a box along with some other items. They had been given to him by his friend, Bob Smith, many years ago. Prior to his death in 2010, Smith was tidying up some belongings and felt that Coyle would take good care of the boxes’ contents.

When Evelyn Par-sons read the article she knew immedi-ately that jug must have been the one her daughter, Shirley Smith, was awarded so many years ago.

“I phoned her imme-diately and she was

as surprised as I was that the missing jug had created so much interest.”

Shirley Smith won the silver jug at an award ceremony presided over by the Chamber’s Tourism & Publicity Commit-tee. She was a winner

three years in a row, 1977, 1978, and 1979 when she was a mem-ber of the Tyee Gar-den Club.

“Actually it was known as the Tyee Rose Club and the vase had been passed on to our organization by a previous gar-

den club,” explained Smith.

She said that when the Tyee Rose Club folded she wasn’t aware of a similar organization to which she could pass it on so the jug sat neglected for 37 years.

The Tyee Rose Club

was the successor to the Campbell River Horticultural Asso-ciation founded in 1956. The minutes of those meetings, now archived at the museum, show that the vase was first pre-sented in 1961 to the board. It had been donated by the Carn-egie family in memory of Theo Morison, whose husband Robert was chairperson of the organization. The vase was inscribed Theo Morison Memo-rial Award. Mrs. Morison had been a nurse at the hospital. She and her husband owned the garden nursery located on Dogwood St. at the bottom of the Elm Street hill, the pres-ent day site of Home Hardware. Smith was pleased that Coyle passed the cup on to this present club. Oth-erwise she would not have known what had become of her award .

“I’m grateful the club members had made an effort to pub-licize the existence of the trophy. I would definitely be delighted if the club would re-establish the annual tradition of award-ing the trophy to a resident who excelled at gardening,” said Smith.

History of garden club mystery jug brought to light

Mystery jug turned up in a box on a shelf belonging to John Coyle. He contacted

the Campbell River Garden Club who put the word out to try and identify the item.

An article in the Mirror alerted the daughter of the last person to win the jug.

Answer: Fluoride has long been a topic of debate and although fl uoride use has its critics, the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention consider the introduction of fl uoride to improve oral health one of the top 10 great public health achievements of the 20th century.

Fluoride has a very unique property in that it can replace Calcium in our enamel. So when our teeth are exposed to acid (which is how decay starts) the acid leaches (pulls) calcium out of our enamel thereby weakening our teeth. Fluoride, when available, replaces the calcium in our enamel and makes our teeth more resistant to acid. So, in essence, fl uoride makes our teeth stronger because acid from bacteria won’t be as effective at decaying our teeth. It’s still very important to brush and fl oss because, even with fl uoride replacing our calcium, our teeth are still susceptible to decay. So 2-3 minutes twice a day for brushing and fl ossing every day is still the Canadian Dental Association recommendation.

If you have a question you would like answered please email [email protected]

Question: Why is fl uoride so important?

Dr. Kevin Lathangue

NOTICE OF PROPOSAL TO RE-ESTABLISH WILLOW POINT BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT AREA The No ce is hereby given that the City of Campbell River, in coopera on with the Willow Point Business Improvement Area Associa on (WPBIA), is proposing to re-establish the Willow Point Business Improvement Area for a 5 year term. Over the past 5 years the owners of Class 6 (Business/Other) property lying within the Willow Point Business Improvement Area (WPBIA) have paid a “local service tax”. The tax is collected by the City of Campbell River to be used by the WPBIA to operate a “business promo onal scheme”. The funds raised through the local service tax have enabled the WPBIA to promote Willow Point through marke ng and beau ca on projects. The boundaries of the WPBIA are de ned on the following map. In order for the WPBIA to con nue opera ng, City Council must adopt a new bylaw which would re-establish the WPBIA for 5 years. The Associa on has asked that the bylaw be processed as a “Council ini a ve” under the authority of the Community Charter – Part 7, Division 5. Under the “Council ini a ve” method, Council may, by bylaw, proceed with the renewal of the WPBIA unless at least 50% of the owners of the parcels that would be subject to the local service tax sign a pe on against, and the persons signing are the owners of parcels that in total represent at least 50% of the assessed value of land and improvements that would be subject to the local service tax. WPBIA’s proposed budget is: $17,840 in 2013, $18,732 in 2014, $19,668 in 2015, $20,651 in 2016 and $21,685 in 2017, with increases of 5% per year over the next 4 years. In order to raise the funds requested by the WPBIA for 2013, owners of Class 6 property lying within the WPBIA would be required to pay a local service tax at a rate of approximately $1.76 per $1,000 of assessed value of the improvements (buildings) on their property. Owners of Class 6 property located within the WPBIA boundary, that are opposed to the renewal of the WPBIA, must no fy the City in wri ng no later than March 6, 2013. Informa on rela ng to the renewal of the Willow Point Business Improvement Area, including copies of the relevant legisla on, is available for inspec on during business hours (8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.), Monday through Friday at Campbell River City Hall, 301 St. Ann’s Road. Informa on can also be obtained by e-mailing [email protected], or by calling 250-286-5705. For more informa on on the WPBIA’s business promo onal scheme please contact WPBIA President, Sandra Allen at (250) 923-3121.

EDITOR: Alistair [email protected]

The issue of remuneration for local government representatives came up for debate at the Strathcona Regional District last week.

This issue comes up on a regular basis with every local government, be it a municipality or a regional district. It never seems to get resolved. That’s why Coun. Andy Adams idea that the province or the Union of B.C. Municipalities should set compensation rates for

elected officials across the province has merit. That depoliticizes the process and relieves the officials of

the task of having to set their own pay raises; which is really a conflict of interest.

One of the problems is that the compensation is being seen as pay. It’s not actually pay, it’s an honorarium. Local government is a contribution to your community. In many ways it’s like a volunteer job. The pay is designed to cover expenses incurred on behalf of the community and as a thank-you for your dedication. The notion that you should be paid for what you do then starts to influence the reasons why people run for local government and they’re not always the most altruistic.

The SRD board debate has gotten bogged down,

as these bodies always do, on what is appropriate pay. Director Brenda Leigh laments that she doesn’t get adequate compensation for what she does. She probably doesn’t.

You’d be hard pressed to find a harder working local representative in this area. But setting the directors’ compensation level has become focused with who should set that level. Leigh said it shouldn’t be the board, it should be a consultant.

That, however, isn’t right. It should at least be the elected board because they can be held accountable to the public,come election time. With direction from the province.

Elected officials wrangle over payOur ViewOur View

From $109.9 to $133.9 per litre in less than a week!Wow! Isn’t it strange that in just a couple of days, gas-

oline prices at the Campbell River pumps have jumped over 20 cents per litre?

It seems even stranger since the market price for crude has continued to bounce around $90 a barrel for most of the last year. I don’t remember seeing any-thing in the news or on TV warning of crude shortages, refinery explosions or anything that might explain the rise. Have you? It is even stranger that within a day or so every service station in town, regardless of its colours, decided to push the price of its gasoline up over a $1 a gallon. And even more surprising is that they managed to do this almost within minutes of each other. So much for competition.

If we really had true competition in this market, you would think that:

1. The timing of price changes would be much less co-ordinated.

2, Price hikes and per litre charges in a community would vary a lot more than they do!

3. And you would expect gasoline prices, at your

Stage set for senate election in British ColumbiaCannon will roar across the Inner

Harbour on the morning of Feb. 12 to mark the opening of the 2013 legisla-ture session.

Lieutenant Gover nor Judith Guichon will inspect the troops and present her inaugural Throne Speech, setting out the B.C. Liberal government’s goals for the coming year.

This ritual will kick off a legisla-tive session that is expected to run until March 14, where the official Parliamentary Calendar shows a three-week break for Easter. Debate is unlikely to resume in April, as the election campaign will be in full roar by then.

This means there will be a grand

total of 19 sitting days to push through a budget and a raft of legis-lation. Here’s my unofficial preview.

The pre-election budget will be pre-sented Feb. 19 by Finance Minister Michael de Jong. Premier Christy Clark has decreed that it must be bal-anced, and the government has made extra efforts to armour itself against what will likely be the loudest debate ahead.

First, de Jong held a pre-budget meeting of the government’s blue-chip forecast council in public. This provided a visual record of what hap-pens every year, when the finance ministry solicits the same sort of independent advice as most compe-tent democracies, and bases its num-

bers on that.Then the finance ministry hired

former Bank of Montreal chief econ-omist Tim O’Neill, who will act as an unofficial version of the parliamen-tary budget officer in Ottawa. Now that we have simultaneous oversight of child welfare and the police, the next step is to extend it to finance bureaucrats.

Regardless of party, the govern-ment has to produce a three-year set of forecasts to replace the current one. A lot of election energy will go into competing claims about who is better at predicting the future.

Another new law to be given high priority is one setting up senate elec-tions, to be run in connection with

the May 14 provincial vote. Alberta pioneered this, and Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s recent round of senate appointments included Cal-gary lawyer Doug Black, who won an Alberta senate election held last year.

There was no one appointed to replace Gerry St. Germain, who bid an emotional adieu as a Conserva-tive senator for B.C. last year. St. Ger-main was instrumental in uniting the splintered federal Conservatives, but he reached the mandatory retirement age of 75, having been appointed by Brian Mulroney in 1993 after losing his seat as an MP.

urgent for the B.C. Lib-erals now? Well, turn-out for the 2009 elec-tion fell to around 50 per cent, a record low for a provincial vote. If that downward trend is reversed this year, it will be in large part because people are still

mad enough about the harmonized sales tax and a range of other issues to get off the couch and kick some B.C. Liberal butt.

Electing senators remains a popular notion, especially with older, conservative-minded voters in B.C.

who identified with the Reform Party. The first-ever senate elec-tion looks like the best available shot at boost-ing turnout among people who are not likely to vote NDP, and who may also be disen-gaged from provincial politics.

And then there is the provincial sales tax bill. Another kick in the slats for the movie business, for one, and don’t hold your breath for NDP leader Adrian Dix to produce a solu-tion in the wake of his recent trip to Tinsel Town.

The performance of the governing party and the opposition will be scrutinized as never before.

On Sunday morning, Jan. 27, about 35 lucky people saw the Bolshoi Ballet for 20 bucks apiece. The Bolshoi Ballet!

In Moscow, if you can get a ticket you will pay between $200 and $400 for the cheapest

seat. Here, on the big screen of the cineplex movie theatre, some of the best dancers in the world performed, and it was as if you had the best seat in the house.

The music was played by the Bolshoi Opera Orchestra, reproduced

beautifully by the mov-iehouse speakers.

Stunning photog-raphy made you feel as if you were really there in one of the gilded balconies of the magnificent Academia Theatre in Moscow.

What I am wondering

is why were any chairs at the cineplex theatre empty for this incred-ible show?

Campbell Riverites, you are missing out. Why wasn’t every teacher of dance in Campbell River there with all her students?

What an opportunity you missed!

Awkward situation

The collapse of the sale of the mill site leaves Campbell River in a awkward situa-tion.

Obviously the site has some great poten-tial. Existing build-ings and great access from water and land are very important to every industry.

The biggest draw-back for any buyer will be the potential cost of cleaning up the years of pollutants in the ground. So it is imper-ative that the city real-ize this and must work on a solution. The city needs to confront this problem with the envi-ronmental gover n-ment departments to establish what must be done in order for it to become a usable work site. The clean up needs to be clearly defined as to who’s responsible for the cost. Does it need to be done at this time?

There are probably as many suggestions as people in Campbell River. I would like to see Rivercorp take the lead and make it a pri-ority. We, the city of Campbell River, have a lot invested in the mill. A very valuable prop-erty is paying almost no tax.

The concept of rent-ing the various work sites to smaller busi-nesses seems to be the most logical. Since the property is costing Cat-alyst without any pos-sible revenue they are no doubt a motivated seller (indicated by the

price of $8-9 million).If Rivercorp was

to lease the property from Catalyst with the agreement that when portions are rented out Catalyst will get a portion of the rent. I realize this is an over-simplification but the concept the previous buyer had is the most likely to succeed and if city hall does noth-ing- that is what will happen. Most light industry cannot afford major investment of legal and professional services only to find the costs to be too high.

This is what River-corp should be work-ing on.

Too many driveways

I am very surprised that there is passing allowed in between Rockland Road and the hill leading into Campbell River where Hidden Harbor is.

I suppose, over 20 years ago, it wasn’t an issue but today it seems

that there are too many driveways turning onto the highway...homes, businesses etc.

Here is a perfect example as to why passing should not be allowed. My boyfriend was waiting to make a left turn onto the high-way.

We live on the water side so we have to cross the northbound lane to go south. He was wait-ing in our driveway to go south. He looked both ways and saw that it was clear to turn into the southbound lane. As he starts to go he suddenly has to go off to the side of the road as a vehicle heading north started passing coming out of the northbound lane into the south bound lane to pass right as my boyfriend was in the southbound lane. My boyfriend quickly went off the other side of the road to avoid a head on. The guy pass-ing waved at him as he obviously didn’t expect a vehicle to turn onto the highway.

Very, very fortunate that there was room to get off the road

and that there were no pedestrians walk-ing right there at that time. But it seems to me passing should not be allowed. Along with passing comes speed.

With the Seawalk there are so many pedestrians, adults with kids, dogs etc., people on bikes, roller blading skate board-ing...just a very busy area and as well as people there are a lot of deer. I see them on our lawn.

We live on the water side and down by the water. They have to cross that highway and many have been hit.

I understand that it can’t always be avoided but if the speed was dropped to 50 km along this area and no pass-ing I really believe it would help a lot. If people need to speed

there is another route. Thank you for listen-ing to my concern and I don’t think I am the only one concerned about this. I am hop-ing something can be done.

Joanne Moon

Did I miss something?

I do not attend city council meetings nor do I watch them on TV. I’m reliant on the local newspapers to keep me informed.

Somehow I missed some local events that may or may not have occurred. I may have slipped into a coma for the last couple of years or just missed what was happening around me.

A. I thought a costly

referendum was held several years ago that shot down a multi million dollar Sports-plex and million dol-lar improvements to Robron field.

B. A huge crack was found in the surface of the local rink which may necessitate in shutting down one of the ice surfaces since there is no money to fix it.

C. School children in the Peterson road area will have to continue to risk their lives on a daily basis since there is absolutely no money for any type of road improvements.

D. The city pro-claimed itself a green community and spent untold amounts of money on a green roof for city hall. Now they seem to be headed in another direction.

They are now preparedto hire a army of con-tractors to rip up aperfectly green fieldand replace it withartificial turf costingmillions of dollars andgod only knows howmuch to maintain it.

This despite an arti-cle earlier this yearin one of the Vancou-ver dailies, that inter-viewed VancouverWhitecap players. Inthe article the whitecap players stated howthey hated playing onartificial turf since itdamaged their kneesand ankles which inturn left lifelong medi-cal problems.

But why would any-one listen to profes-sional soccer play-ers our local expertsprobably know what isbest?

It’s BC’s fi rst ever


Imagine what would happen if that little voice inside your head – the one that tells you how to behave and what choices to make – suddenly took on a life of its own?

Thats the premise of Norm Foster’s My Narrator being produced by Antics Theatre at the Willow Point Hall March 6-9

The actors for My Narrator are Lisa Per-rault as Lacy, an artist with very few sales and even fewer dates.

Her Narrator Barb is played by Geri Symington. Barb tries to keep Lacy on the straight and narrow but sometimes Lacy has a mind of her own.

Kevin McHady as Miles, has trouble holding a job and a girlfriend.

After starting his new job as a clothing salesman Miles hopes his luck will change when he gives his first customer a discount on her purchase.

Miles has a Narrator named Bob played by

Tim Myerscough. Bob tries desperately to keep Miles from open-ing his mouth and put-ting his foot in.

“Smart, fast-paced fun. Foster continues to be regarded as one of the funniest writers

of intelligent comedy in Canadian theatre today,” says the Cal-gary Herald.

Anne Young, Direc-tor/Producer of Antics Theatre is con-fident that My Nar-rator is a wonderful

romantic comedy sure to please the audience.

Tickets for Antics Dinner Theatre at the Willow Point Hall March 6-9 are $38 (hst incl) on sale at the Flower Shop in Willow Point starting Satur-

day Feb. 16. Remember, when

you purchase your ticket your seat is reserved. If you would like to be added to Antics Theatre’s e-mail list e-mail [email protected].

Serving up a romantic comedy

The cast of My Narrator will serve up an evening of fine comedy and dining March 6-9 at the Willow Point

Hall.

With a second summer of festival perfor-mances under their belt Fiftieth Parallel againhit the studio recording their new CD OpenSky.

Over the course of thisFREE MEDIA EVENT, the book of Revelation will be explored chapter by chapter by John Bradshaw ofIt Is Written Televisionwww.itiswritten.com.

In a world where many people are terrifi ed of what the future holds, many are surprised to fi nd that while Revelation holds answers to what will happen in the fi nal days of Earth’s history - it also contains a message of peace and hope for the future.

“The book of Revelation is possibly the most misunderstood and confusing book in the Bible, when in fact it is the revelation of Jesus Christ.

During this series, Bible subjects typically shrouded in confusion will be made clear as we learn how the messages in this book apply to our lives today.”

John Bradshaw.

PROPHECY has captured the attention of North America and the World. The topic has graced the covers of TIME and Newsweek. Many are wondering if the recent worldwide political and economic upheaval are signs of the end and are turning to the Bible for answers.

It is for this reason that a special series about the book of Revelation called REVELATION TODAY is being brought to Campbell River.

Gardeners Green Folk Music Club in Merville will be host-ing a house concert by Tania Opland and Mike Freeman on Sat-urday, Feb. 16.

Since 1995 Opland and Freeman have been touring the world together from home bases half a world apart, with a unique and eclectic mix of songs in several lan-guages and acoustic music played on more instruments than any sane duo would travel with: hammered dulci-mer, guitar, recorders, cittern, violin, Native American flute, oca-rina, hurdy-gurdy, per-

cussion. Their shows feature traditional and contemporary mate-rial from many cul-tures as well as origi-nal compositions, all presented with wit and style – guaranteed to provide an evening of great music and enter-tainment for all, espe-cially those seeking something a little off the beaten track. Free-man’s irreverent sense of humor and Opland’s stunning vocals pro-vide the springboard for a rollercoaster ride across several conti-nents and back again. Strap yourself in and enjoy.

Freeman, originally

from Manchester, Eng-land, has played gui-tar and percussion for many years with an assortment of bands, accompanied Middle Eastern and African

dance troupes, and performed at count-less festivals through-out Britain and North America.

He has worked on numerous recordings in the roles of musi-cian, arranger, pro-ducer and recording engineer.

Opland, born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska, performs on an array of musical instruments including an unusual five string violin, hammered dul-cimer, hurdy gurdy and an Alaska made, double chambered, wooden ocarina. She has appeared on radio and television in the U.S., Canada, Russia, Uzbekistan, Scotland, Ireland and England.

T he pair divide their time between Suquamish, in Wash-ington state, and Inis-tioge, Ireland, because anyplace else would be too easy to spell.

They have recorded eight albums between them, and make numer-ous appearances as stu-dio musicians on other recordings in the U.S., U.K. and Canada.

Check out their web-site and hear some of their music at www.opland-freeman.com .

As this concert will take place in a private home, seating is lim-ited, and tickets must

be reserved in advance. Tickets are $20 ($10 kids), all of which goes directly to the perform-ers. Tickets include hot drinks and a bountiful dessert buffet.

They’ll also have one of their popular char-ity raffles with some great prizes, and the charity cause will be the Ursula Joy Trust Fund, for assisting the family of little Ursula Joy, who is in Vancou-ver Childrens Hospital undergoing treatment for brain cancer.

For more informa-tion, or to reserve tick-ets, call 250-337-5337.

Managing Your Money

Investing for income – ve fundamentals

Ph. [email protected]

A sound nancial plan usually includes developing and maintaining a portfolio of investments that you will, at some point, tap into on a regular basis to cover living expenses or for some other ongoing need. That is most likely to occur after you retire but, depending on your unique nancial needs, it could come earlier – so here are ve fundamentals for getting the most from your investments.

1. Be realistic about whether or not your current investments will deliver an adequate level of income In retirement, your income will usually consist of amounts you’ll receive from the Canada Pension Plan, Old Age Security (CPP/OAS), private pension plan(s) and perhaps work income, plus draws from your investments. If you think your retirement expenses will be such that the income produced from your investments will be inadequate, you should revisit your portfolio and savings strategies now.

2. Verify that your income will last as long as you need it The level of income you draw from your investments should

not completely deplete your savings while you still need them. The investments you choose will depend on your investment style and income needs.

3. As your expenses increase with in ation, your income needs will also change A portfolio that consists solely of xed income investments, such as GICs, is unlikely to produce long-term growth above in ation. Growth in income comes from growth in assets. That’s why investing for income during a long retirement usually means including investments in diversi ed equity markets, depending on your comfort level with market risk.

4. Assess your need for income stability and how to achieve it Be mindful of the impact that constant withdrawals can have on your investments. If you need a high level of income stability, look at investments that deliver regular distributions – xed income, real property, dividend paying securities – or products that provide a guaranteed monthly income, such as annuities.

5. Consider the tax impact on the income you draw Income from investments

held within a TFSA are tax-free, while income from your other registered assets is fully taxable. For your other accounts, the tax on interest is generally higher than income from dividends or capital gains. The amount of your taxable retirement income may also trigger clawbacks of your OAS bene ts. Look at investment structures that can provide more tax-advantaged income for non-registered accounts.

Planning to ensure you retirement income needs will be met can be complex. Your professional advisor can supply the expertise and vision you need to meet those needs.

Earl William Hilsden

August 27, 1925 -Feb. 2, 2013

Beloved husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, Earl passed away suddenly in Campbell River on February 2, 2013 in his 88th year. Predeceased by his parents, Harold and Selina

Hilsden, brother John, and sisters Kay Blott and Jean Houston.He is survived by his loving wife, Marilyn (Selkirk), sharing nearly 56 wonderful years together, his son Norm (Grande Prairie) daughters, Shannon (John) Anderson (Campbell River) and Devon Hilsden (John Jepson), (Campbell River); his six grandchildren, Victor Hilsden, Siobhan Hilsden, Derek Anderson, Kylie Anderson, Marisa Baikie (Clint), Joel Dick and great grandchildren, Rylan and Bowen Baikie. Earl also leaves to mourn many nieces and nephews, as well as a recently discovered half brother, Jim McWhirter of Wainwright, Alberta.Born in Regina, Saskatchewan on August 27, 1925 to Isabella Lennie Campbell Glover Randalls (deceased) he was adopted by Harold and Selina Hilsden. He was raised in Regina, often recounting many adventures with family and friends. During WWII, he joined the air force then transferred to the army, hoping to get overseas faster. After peace was declared Earl attended UBC on DVA credits, while working at any odd jobs he could get to help with expenses. He even dug an entire swimming pool by hand on a property too narrow for an excavator, remaining fi rm friends with the family.Earl received his BA (and later his M Ed), then went to Victoria Normal School to obtain his teaching certifi cation, and where he fi rst met Marilyn. His fi rst teaching position was a one room school at Deserted Bay, Jervis Inlet, next going to Gibsons Elementary, then over to Vancouver Island to take on the position of principal at Nanoose Elementary. During that time he again met Marilyn, and they were married August 17, 1957, in Victoria. They immediately moved to Campbell River where Earl became the fi rst principal of the newly constructed Cedar Elementary School. He continued on as a supervisory principal and after 20 years he retired from the administrative role and returned to enjoy fulltime teaching at Maple Elementary until taking an early retirement. Earl loved travelling, read voraciously, enjoyed politics, as well as hunting and fi shing, sailing and exploring the back roads on his motorbike. Camping with the children and dogs, and later RVing with Marilyn, always provided memories and adventures highlighted over the years. He loved children, loved teaching and learning. Earl cherished his family, and was immensely proud of any and all their accomplishments. We very much appreciate all the invaluable support provided by many family friends. Thank you to all the wonderful caring workers that made both Earl’s life and his family’s easier over the past few years, including Monique, the community at Altrusa, and the compassionate staff at New Horizons. A celebration of Earl’s life will be held on Saturday February 9th from 1-3pm at the Maritime Heritage Centre, 621 Island Hwy, Campbell River. In lieu of fl owers donations to the Campbell River Hospital Foundation would be appreciated.

For those who follow the Western calendar New Years has passed, but for those who fol-low the Lunar calendar preparations are being made for an upcoming New Year Celebration.

Campbell River con-tinues to have a strong presence in the com-munity from Vietnam and China, both coun-tries celebrate Lunar New Year.

Ai Guo Zhang, an i m m i g r a n t f r o m China and owner of local Edgewater Motel, said, “This is the most important traditional festivity for us. I remember when I was in China our family gathered for a reunion dinner on every Lunar New Year’s eve with everyone eating and drinking, chatting and laughing, it made a home filled with strong close feelings. This year I cannot reunite with my family, but we will celebrate here and

send greetings back home.”

This year moves us from year of the Dragon to year of the Snake, which repeats every 12 years in the Chinese Zodiac. It is said that those who are born during the

year of the snake share certain characteristics such as intelligence, cunning and pride and that finding a snake in the house is a good omen as it means your family will not go hun-gry.

“Lunar New Year

does not fall on the same date every year as it is based on the moon so this year’s Lunar New Year falls on Feb. 10.

You can join the cel-ebration at the Immi-grant Welcome Centre on Tuesday, Feb. 12

at the Robron Centre. Everyone is welcome to join us for this whole day celebration, packed with exciting activities, or you may pick any sessions you like” said Vietnamese volunteer organizer Thu Nguyet.

Business of the Week

Campbell River’s blazin’ Hazen Meade reached the podium twice at the Special Olympics World Win-ter Games in Korea.

He finished racing last Sunday and ran a personal best in each of his race catego-ries.

Meade ran the 800 metre final in 3:21 and placed fifth over-all. His relay team ran the 4 X 400 Relay Final in 6:35 and placed third overall, bringing home a World Bronze Medal.

His last final was the 1,600 m and Meade ran it in thick, fresh pow-der, making it very challenging, but he powered through and finished with a time of 7:11 and placed sec-ond overall, bringing home a World Silver Medal.

Campbell River’s Maureen Brinson was one of six volunteer Canadian Snowshoe

Coaches who gave up their free time,

and worked tirelessly for the past two weeks

making sure all 17 Canadian Snowshoers

were ready for their races.

They were up at 5 a.m. for breakfast at

6:30 a.m. and on a bus at 7:30 a.m. every day to head to the moun-tain for competition – the coaches even washed uniforms in the bathtub at night. Without his coach, Meade said he would have found the expe-rience much more dif-ficult and he appreci-ates all that Brinson has done for him.

The entire commu-nity of Campbell River and Special Olympics Campbell River have given Meade and Brin-son so much support and encouragement throughout the whole process and they are both very thankful to everyone for their kind wishes and good luck messages. Campbell River Spe-cial Olympics says Meade and Brinson will return home to Campbell River on Wednesday night at 5 p.m. to a hero’s wel-come.

Blazin’ Hazen is on top of the world

Campbell River’s Hazen Meade, centre, receives his silver medal in the 1,600 metre race while on the podium at the Special Olympics World Winter Games in Korea last weekend.

The Bantam Hurri-cane girls are starting 2013 off on the right foot.

They are currently in second place in the VIAHA female league and the team appears to be peaking at just the right time head-ing into the final few weeks of the regular season.

T h e H u r r i c a n e girls earned a couple

more points this past weekend in Victoria at the Archie Brown-ing Arena topping the Victoria Cougars 7-0.

Cassidy Bellavance opened up the scor-ing in the first period off a beauty pass from Hayley Hunter.

Although the Hur-ricane dominated in puck possession and had many scor-ing opportunities in

the second period, it wasn’t until the five minute mark when the hard working Francis Speck scored her first goal of the season with the assist going to Vanessa Dunn to put the Hur-ricane up 2-0.

T h e H u r r i c a n e d e f e n s i v e p l a y of goalie Jadylin S p o o n e r, A l y s s a Palmer, Lisa Lloyd,

Kylie Scammell, Jes-sica Grant and Dunn are to be commended as they had to kill several penalties late in the second period and early in the third to hold the Victoria team to a scoreless game.

Killing the penalties gave the Hurricane the confidence they needed to close out the third period and

add a few more goals to the tally.

The teams tick tack toe passing was enter-taining to the crowd and created excellent scoring opportunities for the Hurricane.

Scammell started the scoring in the third with assists going to Julia Mercer and Rylee Nelson.

Lloyd ripped a slap-per past the goalie

off a pass back from Speck.

Bellavance finished with four goals, with assists coming from Callie Ann Massie, Carissa Jochimski, Kate Johnson, Palmer and Hunter.

It was truly a full team effort in Victo-ria which will give the Hurricane the confidence they need heading into this

weekend which has the Campbell River squad at home versus the top ranked team in the league – the Peninsula Panthers.

The Hurricane are looking to knock the Panthers out of first place with a win at home.

The game takes place this Saturday at 11:45 a.m. on Rink 2 at Strathcona Gardens.

Hurricane one win away from first place

What makes a team successful? The Atom B Campbell River Tyees know just that.

Success is three very simple things, and these three things encompass a philosophy they’ve played by all season. “Tonight we are going to (1.) work as hard as we possibly can, (2.) we will be good support-ive teammates, and (3.) we will have fun,” said Coach Laird Ruehlen during his pre-game pep talk before game one last Friday night at Rod Brind’Amour Area.

The team sat quietly, players individually focused, thinking of the three things, and the game ahead. The Tyees were hosts of their annual three day Campbell River Minor Hockey Tournament, with visiting teams Kerry Park Islanders, Sannich Braves, and Victoria Raquet Club. There would be four games each before the top two teams played for the right to call themselves Tourna-ment Champions.

The players knew game one would be a challenge. The Victo-ria Raquet Club play a tough and determined style. Having lost to this team the weekend previous, Campbell River knew they would need a more consistent, hard fought effort.

The Tyees scored first, at 13:42 of period one, with a wicked wrist shot from Mike Shields Brown, but two minutes later Victoria tied it up. Brandon Vandervalk’s gritty play put the Tyees back on top with less than two minutes

remaining in the first, but yet again Victoria came right back to tie the game. Ultimately, penalties would cost Victoria in this game, and with all three lines of the Tyees producing goals, Victoria fell 6-2.

The next morning, the Tyees battled the Saan-ich Braves. The Braves came out hard from the drop of the first puck to pressure the Tyees early, but good defen-sive play in their own end allowed Campbell River to weather an early storm.

The Tyees scored first at 11:24 of the first as centre Jacob Thomas potted the first of what would be an eventual hat trick. His line mate Riory Young scored four times, includ-ing the eventual game winner. This back and

forth, high scoring see-saw affair, ended 8-6 for Campbell River.

After the game, the dressing room was electric, full of a cer-tain positive energy a team would only feel when confidence builds among all the players. The Tyees had back-to-back wins.

The next two games, though hard fought, were controlled by Campbell River.

Each team member worked incredibly hard, and their smiles were contagious.

“We started to notice the lines talking to one another between whis-tles, planning strate-gies before face-off, and trying plays they designed themselves. It was fun to watch,” said both assistant coaches Blair Billard and Jamie

Willis after the third game.

With four wins in a row, and first place overall, the Atom B Tyees were off to the championship game.

It ended up being a rematch against Victo-ria Raquet Club.

A clear rivalry had begun to develop, with coaches and players alike discussing strat-egies as to how they would handle players of the opposing team.

Predictably, the game started rough, as Victo-ria sent a message this game would be a battle.

For most of the first period it was back and forth, with five penal-ties being issued.

Wy a t t H u f f m a n opened the scoring for the Tyees with 5:51 remaining in the first. The defensive style of

each team kept shots to a minimum, and scor-ing chances low, but Tyee Jacob Thomas scored at 14:49 of the second, burying a rebound from a shot by Riory Young.

Young scored the third goal at 4:29 in the second frame to give the Tyees a comfortable 3-0 lead. Not going away quietly, the tenacity of Raquet Club showed with 30 seconds left in the second as they scored to make it 3-1 heading into the final frame.

At 17:01 in the third, Victoria scored to come within one, but the Campbell River defence, and stellar goal tending by Andrew Brabender proved too much.

With time winding down, the Tyees held on to take the victory.
