Ring the Dinner Bell: Cooking program gives

Paul RudanCampbell RiveR miRRoR

The screams of a terrified six-year-old awoke a family of four who escaped a fire which destroyed their Oyster River home early Monday morning.

“It’s sad, but they’re a very lucky family,” said Chief Neils Holbeck of the Oyster River Volunteer Fire Department. “I’d say they got out in the nick of time.”

Lyle Johnson, Kelly Bouzanne and their two boys, Dylan, 14, and Bobbi, 6, escaped virtually unharmed, but the blaze gutted their two-storey home located at 2259 Fearon Rd., and they have no insurance.

“They lost everything,” said Tracey Robertson, a family friend.

It was around 3:30 a.m. when fire started in Bobbi’s bedroom on the ground floor; Holbeck suspects a faulty electric baseboard heater was the cause.

With the flames growing, Bobbi woke up first and it was his screams which alerted the rest of the family.

According to Robertson, the back of Bobbi’s hair was singed as he ran up the stairs towards his parents’ bedroom.

By that time, all were awake and

were able to safely flee the burning home along with the family dog.

“It was fully involved when we arrived with flames coming out the back of the house,” said Holbeck.

Strong winds fuelled the blaze which – in spite of the best efforts of firefighters – gutted

the interior of the home, destroying irreplaceable family photographs and a computer with most of their business informa-tion.

“We dumped a lot of water on it – there were some real stubborn spots,” the chief noted.

The intense heat, com-bined with the wind, caused concern the fire would spread to the neighbour’s house, but the blaze was contained to the one home.

However, the front of Johnson’s pickup truck, which he uses to run Clean Sweep Chimneys, was melted by the heat.

The main crew of vol-unteer firefighters was on scene for three-and-a-half hours, but a few others were there until noon.

However, late in the afternoon, the chief and a few others returned to douse smouldering beams supporting the roof.

Friends and neigh-bours were there too to support the devastated family. They hugged and reassured them they will help in any way.

“We’ve already got a burgundy leather couch donated. We’re getting coats and shoes for them, whatever they need,” said Robertson, as another woman showed up to say she’s going to solicit help from other neighbours.

Emergency Support Services will provide the family with a hotel room and money for food and clothing for 72 hours. After that, they may also receive assistance from Red Cross, but Robert-son said they will need financial help to pay the bills.

“They’re a hard-work-ing family and they did so much on their own on the house and the yard…last year Kelly went out and collected bottles for a cancer fundraiser we were holding…they need

our help now,” she said.From the front, the

house looks okay – the decorative silver stars are still hanging from the top of the porch cover.

However, a quick walk to the side and the back fully reveals the extent of the damage – the entire house and timbers are black and charred.

As firefighters doused the smouldering beams, Bouzanne walked over from the neighbour’s home, forced herself to look inside and then quickly looked away as she let out a gentle sob and the tears began to fall again.

n Robertson is hop-ing to set up a registered trust fund to help sup-port the family. Watch the Campbell River Mir-ror and www.camp-bellrivermirror.com for updates on this story.

RCMP boarded the ferry to Quadra Island to make a group of about 100 protestors pay their fare Saturday.

The protestors had c ome a c ro ss f rom Quadra to the Campbell River ferry terminal on the noon sailing intend-ing to hold a rally against provincial government plans to cut routes and raise BC Ferry fares.

The rally was an exten-sion of the March 11 protest at the provincial Legislature in Victoria. Quadra Island regional district director Jim Abram said Saturday’s rally was an opportunity to let residents up and down the coast unable to attend the Victoria rally express their opposi-tion to the government’s plans.

“We’re trying to have a day of solidarity with other coastal commu-nities to try and get the provincial government to understand what they

don’t understand and that is (ferry routes) need to be put back into the highway system as a marine highway,” Abram said.

T h e p r o t e s t o r s intended to ride across on the noon sailing of the MV Powell River Queen, walk into the ferry vehi-cle marshalling area, chant, sing, wave signs and then get back on.

But after boarding, there was a delay of about a half an hour or so

before an announcement came over the ferry’s public address system that the return sailing had been cancelled due to weather.

Not long after that, five RCMP vehicles arrived and officers boarded the ferry to talk to the pro-testors who apparently were not planning to buy tickets.

During a standoff of about an hour or so, the Mounties talked with the protestors who eventu-

ally began filing off the vessel, marching to the ticket booth to buy their tickets. Some disembark-ing passengers said they had made their point and were paying up. They got back on the ship and it sailed away without fur-ther incident.

Campbell River RCMP Staff Sgt. Troy Beaure-gard said, “What we did was board and let the group voice their con-cerns and we had a short discussion with them.”

It wasn’t so long ago when Bonnie was afraid to use the stove in her own home.

Today, wearing her cook’s outfit and blue apron, she stands in front of 15 people – mostly strangers – and explains how “The Dinner Bell” program changed her life.

“Some people think that people with mental illness can’t do anything. We’re here to prove them wrong. We can do a lot things!” she says with a warm smile.

There’s no mistaking her confidence and her audience shows their agreement with a round of applause. They’ve just enjoyed a scrump-tious four-course tasting menu, topped off with juicy strawberries dipped in thick chocolate.

The desert taster fol-lowed baked cod with dill sauce and quinoa, spanakopita with rice pilaf, and stuffed pork loin and smashed potato. The big hit though was the homemade bacon mac and cheese.

“I love the crisp little onions,” says Leslie MacLennan after another delightful bite.

MacLennan is the co-ordinator of rehabilita-tion services for Camp-bell River Mental Health and Substance Use ser-vices which refers clients to the program, a part-nership between Island Health and the Salvation Army.

The program started last year and began with renovating the kitchen to commercial grade at the Sally Ann’s Ocean Crest Church. The next step was bringing in chef Connie Preston whose attention to food detail is as important as the lessons and steady guid-ance she provides to her students.

“I come to work every day and I’m excited,” says Preston.

Her first class of four has already graduated, some have returned as mentors and more peo-ple are improving their lives, and their mental health, by learning new skills and building confi-dence in themselves.

“I’ve been through addiction and stuff,” says Scarlet. “This has been a great experience of learn-ing and I want to get back

into the workforce…the people here have been a real support system for me.”

Others, who aren’t in the program, are also benefiting first-hand from The Dinner Bell. The meals prepared by the classes are frozen and sold to other clients with mental health and addic-tion issues.

For a nominal fee, they receive three nutri-tious meals a week. And that’s a great thing, says MacLennan, because many clients survive off social assistance and either don’t have the money or the kitchen skills to eat this well.

“For a lot of people, mac and cheese usually comes out of a box. This is much better,” she says.

Preston and her stu-dents follow the Canada Food Guide. Each stu-

dent receives at least 150 hours of training, a com-bination of study and hands-on cooking…and cleaning!

“Everybody learns how to wash dishes,” Preston says with a chuckle.

The hope for graduates is they continue on to a formal cooking school, like at North Island Col-lege, or get a job in a kitchen or restaurant, or have the confidence to do something else with their lives.

“It’s amazing train-ing. It’s rewarding and fun,” says Carl. “This has

changed my life.”Bonnie stands next

in front of the group of strangers and tells them what she used to be like, “I was real ner-vous around stoves, but I thought this would be the best setting to be in if something goes wrong.

“This has been a bless-ing. I use my own stove now and I don’t panic. I’ve grown more confi-dent. We’re all here to support one another and we’re friends!”

In the past few years, there have been a number of natural catastrophes around the globe that we in this corner of the world have had the immense good

fortune to “experience” only as media consumers.

Each time, we should have paused to reflect upon our own level of preparedness for disaster.

Experts have long been warning that the B.C. coast sits on a major fault line. It is a matter of when, not if, a killer

quake hits this area.In the days that follow virtually every major quake

and/or massive storm, thousands of people are injured, homeless, and searching for water and food.

Emergency services are often overwhelmed or cut off.Countless households – including those that escape

damage – are simply not prepared to handle such a critical emergency with the most basic supplies and plans.

Are we? The answer is, for the majority, no.The ramifications of a major quake will be the same

here as they are elsewhere. Stores will be damaged, and those that aren’t will be

void of essential supplies in hours. Transportation will be severely interrupted. Telephone and Internet is likely to

be down.So, do you have a survival kit in your home? Do you

have a complete first aid kit, and the knowledge to use it? Do you have alternate shelter in case your home is uninhabitable?

Do you at least have enough water to last three days, for your entire family?

Do you have enough food on hand to last that long, or longer?

If you answered no to any of the above, you have a hoice. You can become prepared now, or ignore this latest warning – at your peril.

We say: A major quake here will be as damaging as elsewhere

Filed for publication with the MirrorDear Brenda Leigh,Your recent Area D community meeting, attended by a

large proportion of residents, provoked me into considering the various problems facing Area D.

I believe the following questions need to be asked and addressed:

Firstly - is there a problem with some of the residents’ septic fields in the area? The answer would seem to be that a small minority of the residents definitely have a problem. My question is this: If a health risk specific to a failing septic system is identified why doesn’t the Regional District

a) insist that it is fixed immediately (thus solving any health problems) and

b) enable this by funding the repairs and placing a lien on the said resident’s property which the owner can remove as they can afford?

This is common practice in many communities and in most cases would still be cheaper (financially and politi-cally) than the long term costs of a sewer system.

Secondly - Why is the City of Campbell River planning to put sewers into large unserviced lots, if the need is to

BC Ferries made for a wet but interesting afternoonThere I was just after noon Saturday

standing on a picnic table, buffeted by wind and rain, waiting for the dang ferry to go so I can get a good video shot of it pulling away.

It would have been a nice end clip for my video of the protest a group of Quadra Islanders had just staged in the ferry marshalling area on the Campbell River side.

I kept waiting on the table, camera in hand until I noticed RCMP officers arriving and walking onto the ferry. Aha! Now this was interesting. I got down from my perch and joined the other media at the ferry ramp. Not long after that an announcement came over the Queen of Powell River’s public address system saying the sailing had been cancelled due to weather. Nobody

was fooled for a second.It was another act in a piece of politi-

cal theatre. It was obvious BC Ferries wanted to force the protestors to pay the return fare to Quathiaski Cove on Quadra. Why? Out of spite? To make an example? Insurance?

What had been a nic,e tidy but pretty standard protest had now become some-thing much more interesting and con-troversial. The protest on Saturday could have been over and done with and the news reports would have been a basic little clip about another ferry protest. Even the TV guys had admitted they had planned just quick trip up to Campbell River, shoot a little video and then head back to Nanaimo right away.

Instead, they ended up spending half a day there with a more dramatic story

than they had intended. The headline on our website www.campbellriver-mirror.com became a breaking news item – “Protestors and RCMP in peace-ful standoff on Quadra Island ferry” – instead of a Wednesday print article a few days later.

So, what of this whole ferry debate? Our website has received some signifi-cant amount of debate, mostly support-ing the protestors’ point of view. Should we be sympathetic to people who choose to live on these little islands, as one com-mentator said? Well, one point is that a lot of these little islands were settled long before parts of the mainland have been – particularly up north where highways have been punched through the wilder-ness to reach them. Quadra Island was settled long before Campbell River. Vic-

toria is as old or older than anywhere on the Lower Mainland. So, there’s some kind of grandfathering exemption there.

And how much does it cost to build and maintain a ferry compared to a highway in the Okanagan? It’s a relevant point. Those who are implying that islanders made the choice to live in an inaccessible place are ignoring histori-cal settlement patterns in the province. Then there’s the tourist value of Vancou-ver Island. Which generates more tour-ism income, the Island or northeastern B.C.? The population of the northern B.C. health authority is 252,764. The Vancouver Island Health Authority is 764,826. Are we getting special treat-ment? There are more people living here. And our population is equal to the Interior health authority.

address some failing septic systems in Area D, and charging “phase 1 & 2” residents to do so? It is unconscionable to provide for future devel-opment at the expense of existing residents.

Thirdly – There is no doubt the city needs to increase its tax base, but should it have the right to hold piecemeal elec-tions in an area outside of its control in order to divide and take over the area piece by piece as it suits them? And this with no guarantee that the majority of home-owners will see any improvements in their lifetimes?

At your meeting that night when you asked how many people wished

to be taken over by the city, not one person put up their hand. The peo-ple of this area moved here precisely because they wish to embrace the rural lifestyle. Our community plan devel-oped in close consulta-tion with the residents specifies our wishes for no high density housing developments in Area D.

Is the nature of our

area to be permanently changed by the needs of a few residents who should be taking responsibility for their own properties?

I humbly suggest that this proposed annexa-tion would be a highly undemocratic and con-trived answer to what appears to be an ill-defined and patchy pub-lic health problem.

CorrectionIn an article in the March 14 Mirror about math

students entitled “Do the math,” a quote attributed to Rebecca Hay said that the school district told the teacher that she could not fail students. This referenced a generalized complaint middle school school teachers have and was mistakenly used out of context. It was not made in reference to Hay’s personal experience or teaching directions with regards to teaching high school math. The Mirror apologizes for the error.

have not given up this fight. We stood together despite our origi-nal plans falling apart, the press got a bigger story then they had planned for. All in all, I think we did good. This is not just an issue for the small islands, this issue affects every British Colombian. BC Ferries is as vital to us as the Trans Canada highway is to Van-couver. BC Ferries is part of the Trans Canada Highway, and a vital part of BC’s Highways.

think the real important part of the last statement is, “WHO CHOOSE TO LIVE ON THE ISLANDS”

If me and my family CHOOSE to live any were in this huge expansive province, is it right that the government must PAY for our choice? We in BC are all “ TOTAL DEPENDENT” on BC highways in some way or another.

Guess what costs are going up daily. How much diesel and maintenance do you all think a ferry takes? Thoses cost are not dropping! Compare the cost of diesel over the past 3 years, up up up.... If you choose to live on an island you should also have to

pay more more more more. Just like if I wanted to raise my family in Helmut BC. Do I have a right to ask the hardworking tax pay-ers for BC to subsidize my extra fuel costs be cause I CHOOSE to live in the middle of now where? Think about it. PS I did not vote NDP last election. Buck up peo-ple!

Cindy Ferand Schroeder · Pender Harbour Secondary School

When I CHOSE to live on the Sunshine Coast it was less than a quarter of the price it is now for the ferry, my wage was more than half what it is now , why should I have to pay 5 times as much for the ferry when im only making 2 times what I was then???

Within two years, Hab-itat for Humanity could triple its output of homes for vulnerable Campbell River families.

The city announced recently that it will donate a piece of prop-erty on Westgate Road to Habitat for Humanity.

Deb Roth, executive director of Habitat for Humanity Vancouver Island North, said the property will likely be used to build a duplex which will house two local families.

Roth said she is “so impressed” with Camp-bell River council for stepping up to the plate.

“As a non-profit we are not surprised by empty promises of support from well-meaning folks that never come to fruition,” Roth said. “That makes this announcement even more significant. Mayor Jakeway and Campbell River city council have shown that they are will-ing to put their money where their mouth is.”

The property at 129 Westgate Road is valued at $95,200 and the city has also agreed to take $33,000 out of council’s contingency budget to cover fees and charges

associated with the proj-ect such as re-zoning, development and legal costs.

The homes, which Roth said are likely to be built in 2016, will be the third housing project for Habitat for Humanity in Campbell River.

A duplex on Maple Street was built by Habi-tat for Humanity vol-unteers after the city donated the land, then valued at $60,000, in 2007. And a second build is currently in the works for Hilchey Road.

Habitat for Humanity purchased the Hilchey lot last year and is in the midst of fundraising for the build and carrying out recruitment cam-paigns for volunteers to build the duplex and for families to live in the

homes.“The Family Selec-

tion Team has started to process homeowner applications,” Roth said. “They will continue accepting applications throughout March and April if needed. Each family must contribute 500 hours of volunteer labour to the organiza-tion, including at least 100 hours helping to build their own home.”

The homes are a hand up, not a hand out – the homeowners do pay a mortgage, based on 30 per cent of the family’s income, but the mort-gage is interest free.

Roth said those mort-gage payments are used to build more Habitat homes in the commu-nity.

“The mortgage pay-

ments that the new homeowners make are re-invested in the build-ing of more homes,” Roth said. “Once we have between 12 and 14 mortgages in a commu-nity, the accumulation of mortgage payments will fund the building of one home a year.”

Habitat also raises money for its builds through sales of building supplies and household items at the ReStore on Willow Street.

Habitat for Human-ity is encouraging fami-lies to apply now for the Hilchey homes. Appli-cations, as well as fam-ily criteria packages, are available at the Camp-bell River ReStore (1725 B Willow Street) near Chevron in Campbell-ton.

To be eligible for a home, families must have at least one child under the age of 18, be will-ing to put in 500 hours of sweat equity or vol-unteer and have a regu-lar income that is not Employment Insurance or Income Assistance.

Don’t confuse the city’s Greenways Loop with the new “energy recov-ery loop” at Strathcona Gardens.

One is for hiking and biking while the other wil l save taxpayers $50,000-$60,000 annu-ally.

“This is a real good news story,” said Andy Adams, chair of the Strathcona Gardens Commission. “When you look at the quick return

on investment, and take into account the impact (that) natural gas rates will see a 25 per cent decrease in rates over the next three years, energy recovery systems like these provide significant operating cost savings while maximizing our energy efficiency.”

Adams, who’s also a Campbell River city councillor, credited the Strathcona Regional District, the city, the fed-eral government for its financial support, and one Gardens’ staffer who

got the project rolling.“Lorne Parker did a

great job researching this system and submitting the application with full support from the Strath-cona Gardens Commis-sion,” said Adams, dur-ing an opening ceremony Thursday morning.

The $329,750 proj-ect received $299,750 through the federal Gas Tax Fund. The remain-ing money came from regional district.

The energy loop brings waste heat from the ammonia compressor room – used to make ice for the two arenas – to heat the main and leisure pools.

The energy loop is also sized so that future expansions can be con-

nected to the current infrastructure at a sig-nificantly lower cost.

Future expansions or connections to the energ y loop could include air handling units, preheating domes-tic water and snow melt-ing pits for the ice clean-ing machines.

The potential cost sav-ing for the first year of heating the pools with waste heat is expected to be $50,000. These sav-ings will significantly reduce the natural gas bill will also reduce the carbon footprint of the complex.

“Our government is committed to helping communities across the country implement local solutions to reduce their

carbon footprint,” said North Island MP John Duncan. “We are proud to support innovative projects, such as this one.”

Ready to rollWith names like Foxie McMuff, Ballsy Benoit and Lumber Smack, Campbell River’s roller girls will � oor you with the rock ‘em sock ‘em style of Roller Derby

When Kim Emsley-Leik rollerskates around a rink, it’s no leisurely roll.

She takes numbers and clears bodies.

Emsley-Leik is one of a growing number of local women who have taken up the thrilling sport of roller derby.

But it’s more than a sport. It has a culture all its own. It even comes with its own rough and cheeky nicknames.

At the rink, Emsley-Leik becomes Foxie McMuff and her job as a blocker is to block the opposing team’s jammer from passing Emsley-Leik’s fellow blockers and scoring points. If the jammer gets around twice, she racks up one point for each skater she passes on the second lap.

Emsley-Leik is one of seven from Campbell River who skate for the Rink Minx, a team based out of the Comox Valley. The other members are: Lind-sey Ryzak, who’s known around the rink as Lita Riot, Peggy Benoit (Ballsy Benoit), Lisa Jackson (Whiskey Jack), Chantelle McPherson (Chantos San-chez), Kari Barker (Swifty), and Taisa Brown (Lumber Smack).

Though so many members of Rink Minx call Campbell River home, the team has had a dif� cult time bringing the sport to the River City.

“What’s challenging is � nding the space,” Emsley-Leik says. “A lot of facil-ity staff assume our roller skates will ruin the � oor, which is not the case. So we practice in Courtenay, which is unfortunate because half the team is from Campbell River.”

But having said that, Rink Minx will be hosting its � rst ever Campbell Riv-er bout at Strathcona Gardens on Saturday, July 5.

Emsley-Leik said she hopes the bout, which will attract teams from all over Vancou-ver Island, will show the viability of having the sport in Campbell River.

“Every time we host a bout there’s an in� ux of skaters,” Emsley-Leik says. “They spend money on hotels, on restaurants, they go shopping, they go to bars. The more events we have, it only bene� ts the community in the long run. People want events to go to, they want to be entertained.”

And roller derby is no doubt entertaining. It’s a full contact sport full of positional, or booty blocking, ride outs, and hip whips. For that reason, each skater must wear full

gear which includes a helmet, mouth and wrist guards, knee pads, elbow pads, and roller skates.

While serious injuries are rare, Emsley-Leik says she does come home with some “wicked” bruises. “We call them trophy bruises,” she says smiling. “They’re these huge things sometimes. We’re actually kind of proud of them.”

But she enjoys it all the same. “I just love to skate,” says Emsley-Leik, a former � g-ure skater, who � rst got into the sport while living in her hometown of Williams Lake. “I’ve always loved to skate. I like being a part of a team atmosphere. It also promotes � tness. We’re always trying to � nd a way to up the bar just one more notch.”

Emsley-Leik and teammate Melicious Mooose (Melissa Curtis) have even started roll-

er skating from Courtenay to Campbell River on Sunday mornings after bouts, leaving Courtenay at 4 a.m. and winding up with breakfast at the Dolphins Resort.

Bouts are typically held Saturday nights at the Comox Valley Sports Centre be-tween May and July. But Emsley-Leik says the team is trying hard to bring some of the games to Campbell River. “I think the Campbell River girls de� nitely

have a certain amount of pride in trying to bring the sport to Campbell River be-cause we live here, it’s our hometown,” Emsley-Leik says.

For more information on Rink Minx or to sign up for the team look for Rink Minx Roller Girls on Facebook.

“We’re always accepting fresh meat!” Emsley-Leik says.

Natural gas users on Vancouver Island will soon see a significant savings on their bills.

That’s because the B.C. Utilities Commission approved an application by FortisBC to amal-gamate its three utilities and equalize the price for natural gas through-out B.C.

Coun. Claire Moglove said it was a big win, especially for the Asso-ciation of Vancouver Island Coastal Commu-nities which had been lobbying for change.

“This is a huge victory for AVICC. AVICC has worked closely to move this forward over the last three years,” Moglove said at last Thursday’s regional district board meeting. “This is huge news.”

Moglove said natural gas rates will be reduced by 25 per cent on the Island, which currently

pays more for natural gas than the rest of the province.

Establishing a common rate will level the playing field and allow commer-cial and industrial users to be more competitive because they will now be paying the same natural gas rates as their off-Island competitors.

Carol Greaves, spokes-person with FortisBC, said equalizing natural gas rates will mean big savings for people who use natural gas in their homes.

“Natural gas rates for residential customers will decrease by about 25 per cent on Vancou-ver Island over three years,” Greaves said in a release. “FortisBC has yet to determine what these decreases will look like per year, however, once the full decrease is in effect in 2018, the aver-age savings for residential customers is expected to be about $215 annually.

“Commercial custom-

ers will see even greater discounts of between 30 and 45 per cent, depend-ing on their commercial rate category,” Greaves added.

T h e a m a l g a m a -tion involves FortisBC Energy, FortisBC Energy Vancouver Island, and FortisBC Energy Whis-tler.

The B.C. Uti l it ies Commission had turned down FortisBC’s appli-cation to amalgamate in 2013 but reversed its decision on Feb. 26, 2014.

Moglove said sev-eral factors went into the decision but among them was new evidence that was presented at the second meeting as well as taking Fort Nelson off the table, which will not be part of the equaliza-tion plan.

T h e e q u a l i z at i on plan still has to receive approval from the lieu-tenant governor. If approved, natural gas customers could see sav-

The Strathcona Regional Dis-trict (SRD) is considering a mem-bership model to a municipal advocacy group that some coun-cillors are concerned could cost the city its independence.

At the regional district’s Feb. 27 board meeting, directors debated a regional membership to the Federation of Canadian Munici-palities (FCM).

Under a regional model, all of the Strathcona Regional District’s electoral areas and municipali-ties would be covered under one membership. Currently, only the four electoral areas are under the Strathcona Regional District’s membership while its five munici-palities each have their own.

Russ Hotsenpiller, chief admin-istrative officer for the regional district, said moving to a regional version would save money.

“Based on information received from the FCM, there would be a collective savings of just over $700 in 2014 for all of the municipali-ties and electoral areas within the region if their current member-ships were to be renewed through the Strathcona Regional District,” Hotsenpiller said. “The sav-ings would be realized primarily through the elimination of annual base fees that form a part of each current membership.”

But director and Coun. Claire Moglove said she doesn’t believe the price is worth possibly sacri-ficing the city of Campbell River’s independence.

“I’m not convinced we’d retain

our total autonomy,” Moglove said. “As a representative of Campbell River, I want the city of Campbell River to retain its autonomy.

“So I’m strongly opposed to this regional (model). For $20 I don’t really want to take a chance that we’d lose our autonomy.”

Moglove said she would pre-fer to use the Union of British Columbia Municipalities model where municipalities are inde-pendent and approach the FCM with their own issues. The board voted to defer the matter until Hotsenpiller can meet with the chief administrative officers of the regional district’s five municipali-ties to discuss whether moving to a regional model would affect the ability of each municipality to participate independently.

This years’ tax deadline is approaching. If you are starting to worry about the amount of taxes you’ll be paying and fretting that you may miss the deadline and have to pay penalties, this may been a good time to think about making next year’s tax return stress free. You can do by implementing fi ve easy strategies for keeping more of what you earn.

1. Return to your return Check your 2012 and 2013 tax returns for any deductions you might have missed. Look for carry-forward opportunities to fi ll unused Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) contribution room that could potentially reduce your taxable income. Your unused contribution room is on your notice of assessment from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).

2. Get organized – stay organized If you prepare your own tax return, start now to logically organize all your tax information, making it easier to identify and take full advantage of

every tax deduction and credit. It you use a tax preparer, being organized means your preparer will need less time to do the job, and that saves you money, too.

Establish a simple fi ling system that separates your tax information by type – income deductions, credits and so on.

3. Save all your receipts Keep track of your expenses and know about every expense item that can signifi cantly reduce your tax bite – including such often overlooked deductions as moving expenses, accounting fees and investment management fees.

4. Fatten your paycheque instead of your refund Getting a big refund feels good – but you may want to think about putting more money in your pocket each pay period and sending less of it to the government. If you expect a refund next tax year, apply now to have your employer reduce the amount of tax deducted from your paycheque, keeping more of your

money in your hands.

5. Make your payments on time If you’re self-employed and required to make regular tax payment installments through the year, make them on time to avoid interest penalties. Also be sure to set aside enough dollars to pay any outstanding taxes due at the tax deadline date.

Starting early and being diligent about your tax life is important but it’s only one aspect of your total fi nancial life. When you have a complete fi nancial plan in place, it’s easier to keep everything on track and on target. That’s why consulting with your professional advisor will make sure all your tax-reduction strategies and overall fi nancial objectives are in place and working for you.

KRISTEN DOUGLASCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

T h e S t r a t h c o n a Regional District is moving forward with a new tourism strategy that would market all of the region’s commu-nities under the same service.

The board chose last Thursday to go with a tourism function that involves the regional district taking on some of the workload while paying existing organi-

zations to carry out the rest.

Russ Hotsenpiller, chief administrative officer for the regional district, said the hybrid approach – to do some things and fund others – makes the most sense.

“The hybrid option may present a rea-sonable approach as it would allow the regional district to exert a regional influence in such areas as strategic planning, branding and market collaboration

while seeking econo-mies of scale and build-ing relationships with various service partners (stakeholders) and ser-vice providers,” Hotsen-piller wrote in a report to council.

The hybrid approach is one of four options the regional district has to choose from.

The first is to do noth-ing, the second is to do it all, while the third is to simply enable others to carry out the work.

Hotsenpi l ler said

based on the regional district’s limited capac-ity, it would be difficult for the regional district to undertake all of the work on its own and it is critical to build on the successes of already established tourism ser-vices.

The hybrid approach will be further ana-lyzed, including finan-cial implications and revenue sources, and a report will go back to the board before anything is put into motion.

At Thursday’s meeting, Area D Director Brenda Leigh asked if there will be an opt out option for certain regions.

Hotsenpiller said there will be once the regional district moves into the third phase of the proj-ect.

C o n s u l t i n g f i r m Mahon Jones Associates has been working with the regional district to determine the feasibil-ity of a regional tourism service

C onsu lt ant Mar y

Ma h on - Jon e s t o l d regional district direc-tors last month that the project does have merit.

“The regions to the north and south of Strathcona are taking a regional approach to tourism, leaving Strath-cona at a competitive disadvantage,” Mahon-Jones said. “You guys are in the middle so you’ve got to do something to bump that up.”

Lezlie Smith, who worked with Mahon-Jones on the study, said

area hotels conveyed to her that it’s been dif-ficult to attract tourists year round.

“Occupancy is very seasonal, it’s at 46.4 per cent, which is very low and that affects employ-ment,” Smith said. “Employees get laid off. Average room rates are well below what they should be. They have not been able to increase them above $114. Tour-ism demand has not returned to pre-2008 levels.”

Regional district looking to increase tourism

Artists who journeyed hundreds of kilometres up the coast by boat to interpret B.C.’s wild coastline are the subject of a fascinating film, ‘Reflections: Art For An Oil-Free Coast,’ to be shown at the Camp-bell River Art Gallery’s Annual General Meet-ing this Thursday.

The short AGM will be followed by the 22-minute film, which is a co-production of Strongheart Produc-tions and the Raincoast Conservation Society.

The film follows a number of B.C.’s most celebrated artists who took part in a journey into a remote landscape facing the threat of a proposed oil pipeline and increased oil tanker traffic.

‘Reflections’ weaves together the art-ists’ work and their response to a region at potential risk.

S p e c i a l g u e s t s

for the evening will include Ross Campbell of Mothership Adven-tures, a local family-run business dedicated to providing ocean wil-derness adventures in a socially and environ-mentally responsible manner.

Campbell was one of the boat operators who took a group of artists up the coast for the film

project.Also in attendance

will be artists Esther Sample and Kevin Johnson.

‘Reflections: Art for An Oil-Free Coast’ premiered at the 2012 Vancouver Interna-tional Film Festival and has screened through-out BC and around the world, however, this screening of ‘Reflec-

tions’ will be the first in Campbell River.

Admission is by donation and everyone is welcome.

The Annual General Meeting is set for 7 p.m. and the film will begin at 7:30 p.m.

For more informa-tion, call the Campbell River Art Gallery at 250-287-2261 or e-mail [email protected]

Q u a d r a Cu l tu r a l Committee presents an unusual blend of classi-cal and jazz, performed on piano and clarinet with the addition of technical brilliance, musical imagination and a captivating stage presence.

You won’t find a more entertaining way to spend a Sunday after-noon than with the Wolak/Donnelly Duo at the Quadra Commu-nity Centre on Sunday, March 23 at 2:30 p.m.

New generation musi-cians, Kornel Wolak (extraordinary clari-nettist and Quarteto Gelato alumnus) and Chris Donnelly (pia-nist, composer and cre-ative improviser) have teamed up to present a musical blend that spans the genres, from

Mozart’s Clarinet Con-certo in A Major to Oscar Peterson’s clas-sic Hymn to Freedom. They’re funny, they’re virtuosic, they’re pas-sionate! Wolak and Donnelly have capti-vated audiences across Canada.

Holding a Masters of Music, Polish-born Kornel Wolak performs solo and with many chamber groups and orchestras across North America and Europe. Canadian-born pianist and composer Chris Donnelly holds a Mas-ters of Music Degree in Jazz Performance and currently teaches at the University of Toronto. Wolak and Donnelly have just released their first recording “Com-mon Ground.”

After doing this for 20 years, he lived the rest of his life in the Black Creek – Campbell River areas. Richard loved his sports, preferred playing baseball than watching it; but he loved travelling to Hawaii most of all.A Celebration of Life is going to be held in Vancouver late April.

He was married to his wife Connie for 58 years and left a legacy of four children; Kim Williams (deceased), Mike (Teena) Williams, Brad (Laurel) Williams, and Christine (Grant) Lucas; eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

March came in like a lion and the Riptide U14 boys “roared” to an Island championship.

“To be Island cham-pions at this level of soccer is a huge accom-plishment,” said coach Bruce Mitchell. “The boys and staff should be very proud. I’ve certainly never been prouder of a group of boys.”

The Campbell River/Comox Valley club plays in the Upper Island Soc-cer Association and on March 7, travelled to Ladysmith to take on a good Nanaimo Storm team. The Riptide shut-out Nanaimo 2-0 and less than 36 hours later were headed further south to play in the Tier 2 Island championship.

This time the team faced unbeaten Saanich Fusion. After the full 70 minutes the game remained as scoreless tie, leading to a 20-minute overtime.

Just two minutes into OT, Saanich scored and then fell back into a defensive mode to pro-tect the lead. But the Riptide was relentless and were rewarded with the game-tying goal with just two minutes left in OT.

With the score tied 1-1, the two teams went to the shootout where the Riptide finally prevailed after six rounds.

“At the beginning of the season we asked the boys to be the best they could be. Win or lose, we

asked them to work hard, give everything you’ve

got and be proud of what you accomplish,” said

Mitchell. “Well, I can tell you the boys left it all on

the field, never gave up, and through skill, effort and intensity, came out on top!”

The title win qualifies the Riptide for the pro-vincials which take place this July in Burnaby.

This past weekend, the boys travelled to Surrey for the Mayor’s Cup – one of the biggest tour-naments in the province – and came away with second place finish.

Playing conditions

were poor due to the weather, but the Rip-tide managed two wins and two losses; one in a shootout and the other by one goal.

The tournament also gave the local boys expe-rience leading up to the

provincials as all the top teams from the Lower Mainland and the Inte-rior were there.

The Riptide’s next game is the quarter-final of the Coastal Cup, tak-ing place April 6, at Val-leyview in Courtenay.

PRIME RIB BUFFETIS BACK AT POPSEY’S!!


It’s coming down to the wire for the Willows Pub.

Council is trying its best to facilitate the sale of the Rockland Road neighbourhood pub but the process has not been

easy.The pub sits on a

piece of property that has been designated for only community use

through the city’s sus-tainable official com-munity plan.

Sue Thulin, co-owner of the Willows, has an

offer pending to sell the pub to log broker Storey Creek Trading which wants to covert the pub into office space – a use

not recognized for that particular site in the community plan.

At its March 4 meet-ing, council approved

first and second read-ing of an amendment to the community plan to accommodate office use on the site.

Coun. Andy Adams thanked city staff for moving the process along.

“I want to thank staff for finding a way through this, under-standing it is a bit of a maze,” Adams said. “Appreciate finding a way through this so we can find a resolution for this issue.”

Council held a pub-lic hearing Tuesday after the Mirror went to press and was expected to pass third reading and adoption of both the official community plan amendment plus a re-zoning amendment, which has already received first and sec-ond reading.

Council heard last month that the closing date for the sale of the Willows Pub is March 31 and council and city staff have done its best to speed up the process and make the necessary changes to the commu-nity plan.

Thulin told council in February that even if the re-zoning didn’t go through, the pub will be closing on March 30.

Council agreed it would rather alter the use of the site than have the building sit empty.

“We have an exist-ing business that is no longer viable and this is another way to have that building used,” Coun. Claire Moglove said at the Feb. 18 coun-cil meeting.

“Is it the perfect use? In my view, absolutely not. But it’s not a nega-tive use. I don’t think it adds to the neighbour-hood but I don’t think it detracts from the neighbourhood.”

Coun. Andy Adams said at that same meet-ing that he can’t see any “consideration that justifies denying (the) application.”

While several resi-dents in the Rockland Road neighbourhood have opposed the sale of the pub, the majority aren’t opposed to Storey Creek Trading moving in, rather they want the pub to carry on busi-ness as usual.

Thulin said that’s not an option and she has yet to receive an offer to keep the pub operat-ing as is.

T h e S t r a t h c o n a Regional District is con-sidering a membership with a municipalities advocacy group that has some councillors con-cerned the city could lose its independence.

At the regional dis-trict’s Feb. 27 board meet ing , direc tors debated a regional member-ship to the Fed-eration of Canadian Munici-p a l i t i e s (FCM).

Under a regional m o d e l , all of the Strathcona Regional District’s elec-toral areas and munici-palities would be cov-ered under one mem-bership.

Currently, only the four electoral areas are under the Strathcona Regional Distr ic t’s membership while its five municipalities each have their own, including Campbell River.

Russ Hotsenpiller, chief administrative officer for the regional district, said moving to a regional version would save money.

“Based on informa-tion received from the FCM there would be a collective savings of just over $700 in 2014 for all of the munici-palities and electoral areas within the region if their current mem-berships were to be renewed through the Strathcona Regional District,” Hotsenpiller said. “The savings would be realized pri-marily through the elimination of annual base fees that form

a part of each current membership.”

But director and Coun. Claire Moglove said she doesn’t believe the price is worth pos-sibly sacrificing the city of Campbell River’s independence.

“I’m not convinced we’d retain our total autonomy,” Moglove said.

“As a representative of Campbell River, I want the city of C a m p b e l l R i v e r t o retain it s autonomy. I don’t want to get into a situation where any resolut ion for funding

that the city would like to do, has to go through the SRD (Strathcona Regional District). So I’m strongly opposed to this regional (model). For $20 I don’t really want to take a chance that we’d lose our auton-omy.”

Moglove said she

would prefer to use the Union of British C olumbia Munici-palities model where municipalities are inde-pendent and approach the Federation of Cana-dian Municipalities with their own issues.

Director and Coun. Andy Adams agreed there is “some uncer-tainty” surrounding the regional membership model and suggested the board hold off until it can gather some more information.

The board agreed and voted to defer the mat-ter until Hotsenpiller can meet with the chief administrative officers of the regional district’s five municipalities.

There are currently 2,000 members of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities and the city of Campbell River is one.

The organization has existed since 1901 and represents the inter-ests of municipalities on policy and program matters that fall within federal jurisdiction.

The BC Government is proposing to offl oad the province’s world-class recycling programs, run by local municipalities, to an association led by big multi-national corporations. The idea is that we’ll get a better, more effi cient program that costs taxpayers less.

Unfortunately, what we’ll really end up with is anyone’s guess.

The association isn’t guaranteeing that we’ll get a better program, or even one as good as the current Blue Box program already in place. Since the association is led by big businesses outside of BC, many of whom are not even headquartered in Canada, one could presume that profi ts will come before environmental stewardship. They usually do. They also won’t guarantee that there won’t be any job cuts here in BC.

And how is this supposed to make things better for BC?

Currently, BC homeowners only pay, on average, $35 a year for curbside recycling. Under the proposed regime, you’ll pay more. Every time you bring home a pizza, buy toilet paper,

or pretty much anything else that comes in a package, businesses will be passing their increased costs on to you.

How much more? Well, nobody’s saying.

Here’s the only thing anyone does know: we already have a Blue Box program that works, is effi cient, managed locally and puts the BC environment fi rst. So why is the BC government fl ipping a coin, bringing in a questionable recycling program that some of our local elected offi cials are already calling a “scam?”

It’s time to contact Premier Clark and ask her.

What’s going on here?
