Duncan and Lynda White were in Courtenay filling up their gas tank when their cell phone rang with the bad news.

Lynda listened as former dog breeder Jutta Kulic told the couple their new pet was missing.

Larry, a two-year-old Italian grey-hound who was being flown from San Francisco to Victoria where the Whites would be waiting, had escaped from Air Canada handlers at the San Francisco Airport.

The Whites, both of Campbell River, were set to adopt Larry who had belonged to a friend of Kulic’s who died of cancer.

Lynda said Larry seemed the per-fect fit for their family.

“We lost our oldest Italian grey-hound in June, he passed away from liver cancer; he was 13,” Lynda said. “He was Duncan’s constant compan-ion. This dog seemed to have certain mannerisms similar to him.”

About a year ago, Duncan was

also diagnosed with can-cer and the couple set out to find a new pet to brighten their lives. At the dog show in Nunns Creek Park in August, the Whites met up with a friend who was work-ing as a judge. She put the Whites in touch with Kulic who was looking for a home for Larry. The young Italian grey-hound seemed the per-fect match.

“Duncan is also suf-fering from liver cancer, we’re not sure what kind of time we have,” Lynda said. “We had hopes for this dog to be a compan-ion to him. Time is not on our side.”

But their plans were turned upside down after Larry escaped from his secure crate at the San Francisco airport.

Jutta, who lives in Ohio, was in Sacramento, Calif. for a dog show but drove Larry to San Francisco, where she dropped him off at the airport Oct. 7. The plan was for Larry to catch a connecting flight to Vancouver before fly-ing to Victoria where the Whites would pick him up and bring him home to Campbell River. Unfortunately, Larry’s flight to Vancouver was delayed so arrangements were made to have Larry stay overnight on the Mainland.

“We hired a profes-sional accounting com-pany to look after Larry in Vancouver and then he would fly across to Victoria first thing in the morning,” Duncan recalled. “So we decided to go back home and we were filling up at Costco and Lynda got a call from Jutta that Larry had bolted.”

Kulic told Lynda that an Air Canada worker had let Larry out of his crate – which had four zip ties around it so he wouldn’t escape – despite Kulic’s detailed instruc-tions to the airline’s cargo holders to not open the

crate.Angela Mah, spokes-

person for Air Canada, said staff let Larry out of his crate because of the flight delay.

“Air Canada’s San Francisco team had Larry’s well-being as first priority when initially caring for him during the lengthy flight delay when he unfortunately escaped,” Mah said.

Larry slipped out of his collar, which wasn’t designed for a leash but rather just to carry his ID tags, according to Lynda. Witnesses told Kulic that Larry ran out onto nearby Highway 101 and was hit on the freeway entrance ramp around 4:45 p.m., within a half an hour of him escaping from Air Canada han-dlers. Kulic said three different cars pulled over and one couple rushed to Larry’s side.

“Shortly after 5 p.m., a couple called a local vet-erinary hospital, saying they had picked up a dog hit on the freeway, that it was still breathing, and asked to bring it for treat-ment,” Kulic said. “They were referred to the closest emergency vet, but never arrived there or at any other local vet contacted to date. I con-tinue to network; social media has been amaz-ing. Someone will come forward eventually if we

keep working on it.”Lynda said Kulic has

been “very vigilant” in trying to track down Larry and a $2,500 reward is being offered for his return.

“She’s been on it since the time she got the phone call (that Larry escaped) and she has not rested,” Lynda said. “She arrived back in Ohio last night and the only reason she left San Francisco was she knew he wasn’t out in the cold by himself, run-ning around. She is quite positive someone picked him up and attempted to call the vet but that’s where the information stops.

“We haven’t been able to find the people who picked him up or where they took him.”

Duncan said at first he believed the worst – that Larry had been killed – but now he’s fairly confi-dent someone has Larry.

He said there is no evidence that Larry was killed. Highway clean-up crews haven’t found him neither have other search parties – including Air Canada.

Mah said the airline has been doing what it can to try and track down Larry.

“Upon learning Larry was missing, Air Canada contacted Larry’s han-dler and immediately instituted a search, with

both cargo and airport staff,” Mah said. “We have reached out to local groups involved in ani-mal rescue.

“Additionally, we have broadly alerted the air-port community and posters are up.”

Lynda agrees that someone likely has Larry.

“The only other pos-sible explanation is that someone’s taken him and doesn’t want to return him,” said Lynda who noted Italian grey-hound’s are an expensive, gentle and loving breed. However, they can also be skittish, startle easily and love to run, which is why Kulic left spe-cific instructions with Air Canada not to open Larry’s crate.

Still, Lynda said, “I don’t want to point fin-gers at them (Air Can-ada).”

But she hopes with all the media attention Larry’s story is getting in both Canada and the United States, as well as exposure through the Larry the Italian Grey-hound Facebook page, that someone will come forward with some key information.

Duncan said he hopes if anything positive comes out of the experi-ence, it’s that Air Canada makes some adjust-ments.

“I would like to see, in the future, that Air Canada has a good look at their policies and pro-cedures when it comes to handling live animals that are unescorted so this doesn’t happen to anyone else,” Duncan said.

Mah said that in the meantime Air Canada’s U.S. cargo team contin-ues to check in with area animal organizations and hospitals on a daily basis and is following up on any and all leads received regarding Larry. Mah added that Air Can-ada is in regular contact with Kulic regarding its efforts.

Regional direc-tors concerned over ambigu-ity in prov-ince’s election reforms

Kristen DouglasCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

S ome St rat hcona Regional District direc-tors are concerned that impending changes to local elections legisla-tion may restrict indi-viduals from publicly voicing their opinions.

The province recently released its White Paper, which lays out the changes drafted by a joint provincial and Union of B.C. Munici-palities task force, but some directors were hesitant to accept it.

No b a A n d e r s o n , director for Cortes Island, said her con-cerns with the White Paper first surfaced after she was approached by a Cortes resident who was unclear about the changes to third-party advertising.

“His concern is given the lack of a definition around third party,” Anderson said at the Oct. 9 regional board meeting.

“Could it extend to an individual? If that’s the case, it looks like an

individual who wants to say something positive or negative about a local candidate would have to file an application.

“If it’s taken to try and minimize the speech of the electorate, then I’m entirely not in favour of it,” Anderson added.

The White P a p e r d e f i n e s third party advertising as election advertising that is not sp ons ore d by a candi-date as part of his or her election c a m p a i g n or election advertising that is not sponsored by an elector organization as part of its election campaign.

As it stands now, third party advertisers can take out ads anony-mously for or against election candidates, with no limit on spend-ing.

Under the changes, all third party advertis-ers must register with Elections BC before sponsoring any election advertising and anony-mous sponsorship con-tributions will be pro-hibited.

D i r e c t o r C l a i r e Moglove, also a Camp-bell River councillor, said that in her mind the confusion surrounds the definition of advertis-

ing, not third party.“There’s a difference

between writing a let-ter to the editor in the newspaper complaining about a candidate and spending $3,000 to take out a series of ads in a newspaper saying this candidate is no good,”

Moglove said.

“S o I think the l a ck of clarity is a r o u n d the word advertis-ing.”

D i re c -tor Jim A b r a m (Quadra I s l a n d /

Discover y Is lands) agreed there was “a lack of clarity in what we’re reading today.”

In the end, the board elected to write to the B.C. Ministry of Com-munity, Sport and Cultural Development regarding the lack of clarity around the defi-nition of third party advertising.

There is still time for the board to receive and consider the province’s feedback before the changes take effect.

The province is plan-ning to implement the new recommenda-tions using a phased approach.

The first, which are outlined in the White Paper, are expected to

be implemented in time for the 2014 local elec-tions.

A change to campaign financing limits will be delayed until the 2017 local elections.

According to the province, the changes to the local government legislation are aimed at improving accountabil-ity, enhancing trans-parency, strengthening compliance and enforc-ing and expanding edu-cation and advice to all election participants.

Key changes

n Banning anony-mous contributions

n Disclosure and reg-istration by third-party advertisers

n Sponsorship infor-mation requirements for all election advertis-ing

n Requirements for all campaign finance disclosure statements to be filed 90 days after an election rather than 120 days

n Enabling a key role for Elections BC in compliance and enforcement of cam-paign finance rules in local elections

n Enacting a sepa-rate Act for campaign finance rules in local elections

Election changes cause for concern for some regional district directors

Member of BC Press Council

The federal government brought down its Speech from the Throne on Wednesday, and advance reports suggested it would focus on the best interests of Canadian consumers.

This is clearly designed with the 2015 federal election in mind, but it is a much-needed focus all the same. Canadians pay far too much for basic items, and given that most of them are not getting much in the way of wage increases, it’s getting harder and harder to pay the bills.

While the federal government can’t single-handedly force businesses to lower prices, it can open up sectors to more competition in several key areas under its control.

These include the telephone, cable television, internet and credit card industries.

Lack of competition means that Canadians pay very high prices for cellphone service, particularly for extras like roaming charges and data plans. The big three companies control almost all of the market and have shown little willingness to lower prices.

On the cable television front, consumers are forced to pay a lot of extra money for channels they don’t watch, and also often pay expensive bundled charges for cable and internet service. In these two areas alone, consumers are forced to pay out more every year, leading to an erosion of their ability to buy other goods and services.

Banks charge businesses excessive fees for the ability to accept payment by credit card. This adds to retail prices.

The federal government also needs to look into whether marketing boards benefit consumers. The main effect of such boards is to double prices for goods like milk and cheese, as compared to the United States.

There is a slim indication that the feds may be willing to take on the powerful dairy farmers’ lobby, as a free trade deal with the European Union is on the horizon, and it allows for more cheese to be imported into Canada.

The federal government can also look in its own back yard when it comes to reducing costs to consumers. It can stop levying GST on other taxes, as it does with fuel. Tax should be paid on goods or services, not on other taxes.

City’s latest enforcement hits the heart of a good man

We say: Feds could also look at burdens they impose as well

His right ankle is fused, both knees have been replaced, but somehow Art Webb manages to walk between the graves at Elk Falls Cemetery without tripping or stumbling over the memen-tos left by the living for loved ones no longer here.

It’s a walk the 68-year-old often takes, either alone or with his wife Diane. They come to remember their son Justin who died Sept. 4, 2011, following a nine-month long battle with brain cancer.

He was 20 years old.For those who had the pleasure of

knowing Justin, we consider the time spent together an honour; a sacred mem-ory of a kind, young man who spread a lot of love during his time on Earth.

His death was devastating to so many,

but his parents chose to mourn in a way that reflects their son’s spirit.

“It was awful for us, but it happens. That’s what we learned: Tragic things happen every day and people need our help,” Diane told me.

That was in April 2012, when Art and Diane took the extra money donated to support their son’s fight against can-cer and used it to “pay it forward.” The money, more than $2,000, bought two delivery carts that were donated to the Campbell River Hospital maternity ward, and the couple continue to give both time and cash to local charitable causes.

They truly are inspirational, so it was more than a little troubling to see Art so downcast when stopped by the office last

week. With trembling hands, he dropped a three-page hand-written letter on my desk.

“I’m kind of emotional about this,” he said. “This…this just isn’t right.”

What’s so upsetting to the Webb fam-ily, and likely even more good Campbell River families, is the city’s newest cruel push to “enforce the bylaw” and remove all mementos from the grave stones over the next nine months.

City officials “reason” the cemeteries are becoming too cluttered and pose a hazard for visitors and the contractors who do maintenance.

Somehow Art manages to shuffle through in all types of weather and he scoffs at the notion the work crews are somehow inconvenienced by mementos

for the dead.The Webbs run their own landscap-

ing business and Art says it’s nothing unusual to pick up dog bones or kids’ toys when he’s mowing.

However, he’s also seen the grass cut-ters on ride-on mowers who blaze across the cemetery and then use gas blowers to clear up the cuttings and maybe, acci-dentally, blow over a memento or two.

Art sighs, “It’s not as if the city goes out of its way to enforce other bylaws. First its the SPCA and people’s pets and now it’s our loved ones.

“Why is the city striking out at the things that mean the most to us?”

I have to wonder too.

Look Out Campbell River...for John Hart Dam extra costs.As I read today that BC Hydro has been given the OK to

charge extra fees to people that objected to the Smart Meter Installations, before the Choices Program is reviewed by the Utilities Commission, I wonder what the City of Campbell River might be looking to in the near future?

I wonder why my wife and I are ‘eligible’ and ‘qualify’ to pay again for services that our previous Hydro bills had already built in? Or has this new program required Hydro to get rid of all their old data for ‘estimating’ bills, real people answering phones and inputting data, and have we not already used PowerSmart ideas to reduce how much we pay? What kind of business wants you to pay less to them?

Oh, and unless I’m mistaken, we’ll also be paying for the Smart Meters, the Independent Power Producers, the North West Transmission Line and the rest of Hydro’s debts...like everyone else.

Also, I’d like to know why the difference between an old meter and a radio-off meter charge if both have to be read manually, and I’m paying for the Smart Meter already? And can I trust Hydro/government not to legislate the radio-off to a radio-on state without any approval?

And so I wonder if the planning for Smart Meters, which

The city may be sac-rificing extra business licence revenue in order to make life easier for mobile businesses.

Council gave final approval to the inter-munic ipa l bus iness licensing model at last week’s Tuesday council meeting.

Under the program, Campbell River area

companies who do busi-ness in several surround-ing communities will no longer have to apply for a business licence in each jurisdiction.

Sara Brodie, the city’s land use services super-visor, said the licence cuts down on the amount of administrative work required of businesses.

“The purpose of the IMBL (inter-municipal business licence) is to allow a company to hold a single licence recog-nized by all participating municipalities, rather than individually apply for out-of-town business licences in each munici-pality in which they may operate,” Brodie wrote in a report to council. “The

IMBL represents a joint initiative between the Chamber of Commerce and the city to create a more business friendly environment.”

The single $150 licence will enable businesses to be covered in the follow-ing communities: Camp-bell River, Comox, Cour-tenay, Cumberland, Dun-can, Ladysmith, Lake Cowichan, Nanaimo, North Cowichan, Parks-ville, Port Alberni and Qualicum Beach.

Brodie said while the model will make it more convenient for business owners, it will also likely cause the city to lose out on revenue from busi-ness operators who don’t live in Campbell River.

“The proposal would be likely to result in the significant reduction of out-of-town business licences,” Brodie wrote. “The city currently has issued 412 of these. At $150 per licence, this would equate to a reduc-tion in business licence revenue of $61,800 if all of these were to become (inter-municipal busi-ness licences) issued in other municipalities; although there would clearly be a correspond-ing decrease in adminis-trative burden.”

How much more might

Campbell River have to ante up to have this con-struction done and the benefits from it?

I know the project needs to be done but I roll my eyes when-ever so-called benefits

are advertised. Hmm, I wonder if the automatic power outage detec-tion benefit from Smart Meters is working...yet?

Did You Know. . .ICBC must pay for your massage therapy treatments?In December 2011, BC’s Court of Appeal upheld a decision that ICBC must pay for necessary massage therapy treatments when recommended by a doctor.

The Court found that massage therapy met the two requirements of a mandatory benefit payable by ICBC under Part 7 of the Insurance (Motor Vehicle) Act Regulation. First, massage therapy fits within the definition of physical therapy, making it a mandatory benefit. Second, massage therapy was a necessary treatment because it had been recommended by the injured party’s doctor as part of recovery. This decision clarifies a previous inconsistency regarding whether massage therapy costs should be paid for by ICBC. To learn more go to www.awslaw.ca

A new city public art policy was too rich for some councillors to sign off on at the last council meeting.

The city’s Community Services Recreation and Culture Commission brought forward a num-ber of changes to the city’s art policy aimed at contributing to the revi-talization of downtown.

But C oun. Andy Adams thought some

of the dollar figures attached to the report were too great.

“In reading this I have some concerns, (specifi-cally) section 2.1 ‘coun-cil will commit $50,000 annually to develop and implement its Public Art Program, including the creation of works of art,’” Adams said.

The report also sug-gested council allocate one per cent of the city’s total capital improve-ment costs to the acqui-sition, administration

and the management of public art.

“That’s a heck of a lot and usu-ally these w o u l d c o m e before us at financial planning,” A d a m s s a i d . “ I t h i n k i t needs more of a lengthy look and discussion.”

Coun. Claire Moglove

agreed and suggested the policy be referred to council’s Committee of

the Whole meet ing , w h i c h c o u n c i l agreed to.

“I think the COW (Commit-tee of the W h o l e ) is a better o p p o r -tunity to

f lesh out the policy,” Moglove

said. “This public art policy has gone through the commission for five years, I think it can wait another two weeks.”

The public art policy is designed to help the city keep track of its artwork and manage the volume of public art donations the city receives, partic-ularly from the Canada Day carving contest at Frank James Park.

A Public Art Com-mittee of five to seven voting members would be formed by council

and tasked with con-sideration of donations based on the piece’s ability to integrate into the city’s existing public art collection; the qual-ity and condition of the work; sustainability of the theme of the artwork to a public venue; sus-ceptibility of the work to degradation, wear or vandalism; and any potential of endanger-ing public safety, among other things.

T h e P u b l i c A r t Committee would be

required to submit its recommendations on donation proposals, including site place-ment, to council.

The committee would also be responsible for periodically review-ing the city’s public art inventory to deter-mine whether public art pieces should be removed based on their condition, their required level of maintenance or repair and whether the artwork poses a public safety threat.

Enjoying Life

nevergets old.

While Halloween can be fun for adults and children alike, the family pet might not look forward to October 31 as much as the rest of the family. When trick-or-treating time arrives and the doorbell gets its annual workout, pet parents should take steps to ensure their dogs, cats and other companion animals stay calm and don't get too frightened or excited.

Halloween is full of decorations, costumes and, of course, trick-or-treaters. While the

excitement can be thrilling for children, pets can easily grow scared. Animals generally become creatures of routine, and anything that takes them out of their comfort zones can be a cause for agitation. Spooky decorations hung throughout the house and outdoors present new sights and smells. The doorbell ringing every few minutes could put skittish pets even more on edge -- especially when they come face-to-face with hordes of costumed trick-or-treaters.

Candy, and chocolate in particular, poses a large risk as well. Even relatively small amounts of chocolate can be harmful to cats and dogs. That's because chocolate contains caffeine and theobromine, two different types of stimulants that can wreak havoc on an animal's central nervous system. Hard candies may be swallowed and become lodged in the throat or digestive tract. Artificial sweeteners are harmful to animals, too.

To help keep pets safe, it is best to consider the following tips for Halloween.

• Keep pets indoors for the day. Animals that are frightened may run away or grow disoriented and get lost. Also, you never want your pet to be the victim of a Halloween prank. Sometimes black cats are stolen on Halloween. Dogs left outside may be at risk for teasing and taunting, too.

• Don't take dogs trick-or-treating. Although you may have a calm, well-mannered dog, the crowds in the neighborhood may excite man's best friend, whose behavior might be difficult to predict. Also, other animals that get loose from homes when the doors are opened may provoke your dog. It's enough to keep your eyes on your children, never mind being mindful of your dog, too.

• Skip costumes for pets. You may think it's a great idea to dress your pets in costumes, but there's a good chance your pet does not share your enthusiasm. It may

stress out the animal, so avoid pet costumes.

• Be mindful of holiday decorations. Strings of lights, fake spider webs and other decorative items can be tripping hazards for pets, while electronic devices could pose a safety risk. Avoid lit candles in the home because cats or dogs may knock them over.

• Keep pets secured in a bedroom or another quiet space. Your dog or cat may try to bolt outside every time you open the door to trick-or-treaters. Instead, keep the animals in a bedroom or laundry area. Not only will they appreciate the quiet, but also they won't have a chance to escape and get lost.

• Store collected candy out of reach. Pets are inquisitive, and they may be drawn to the sweet smell of candy and treats. Candy wrappers and the candy itself can be hazardous to pets. Therefore, store candy where pets cannot access it and be sure children discard candy wrappers.

If you have visited the Campbell River or Quinsam River trails you might notice a different smell in the air - the rotting salmon perhaps?

Our four legged friends sure smell it-and would love to chase them, maybe roll on one and even have a bite or two. Be for warned, offering of raw salmon to your pet or your pet eating some spawning salmon causality can be deadly. A bacterial organism living inside a parasitic worm which lives inside salmon can cause a life threatening disease termed Salmon Poisoning. It is the bacteria called Neorickettsia Helminthoeca, which is the culprit, and it is definitely prevalent in the Pacific Northwest at this time of year.

When a dog eats infected raw fish, the parasitic worm releases this bacterial organism, which then travel in the bloodstream to the liver, lungs, brain, and lymphoid tissues,

causing severe damage to these vital organs.

Infected dogs will begin showing symptoms within 6 to 10 days after eating contaminated fish. Symptoms can include loss of appetite,

depression, high fever, vomiting, diarrhea, discharge from the nose or eyes, and weight loss.

If you know or suspect your dog has eaten raw fish and is having any of the above symptoms, you should make an appointment with your family veterinarian right away. Left untreated, salmon poisoning can be fatal within two weeks.

So when you are out on the trail please leash your companions, for their own safety and to prevent the temptation of having a quick raw salmon snack.

Kristen DouglasCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The B C SPCA is expected to announce plans for a new pet adop-tion and education cen-tre in Campbell River.

The society is holding a public meeting on Tues-day, Oct. 22, 5 p.m. in the former Movie Gallery video store in Merecroft Village.

At the meeting, Craig Daniell, chief executive officer of the BC SPCA, is expected to announce, “an exciting new SPCA initiative to help animals in Campbell River.”

He will also provide an update on the society’s plans to find a suitable location for its education and adoption centre.

“The BC SPCA has been overwhelmed with

the incredible support we have received from Campbell River resi-dents and we hope as many people as possible will join us on Oct. 22 to share in our announce-ment and our plans mov-ing forward,” said Daniell in a news release.

The BC SPCA hinted on its Facebook page in September that the soci-ety was actively seeking an appropriate venue for its new centre.

“The wheels are slowly turning. The SPCA is looking at an undis-closed space and is in the process of gathering information to apply for a re-zoning,” read the post.

Tuesdays meeting will be the second since the SPCA closed its Camp-bell River branch earlier

this year.In mid-June, the

SPCA held a public meeting where Dani-el l announced that the SPCA would be returning to Campbell River. Following that announcement , the SPCA planned to lease space in the Maritime Heritage Centre.

That plan, however, was abandoned after city council encouraged the SPCA to look elsewhere for an animal shelter.

Daniell said that while the new centre would be run on a smaller scale than the former shel-ter, the SPCA intends to continue to facilitate adoptions, conduct cru-elty investigations, con-tinue and increase its educational programs and continue its spaying

and neutering program through its new adoption and education centre.

Daniell assured those in attendance at the last public meeting that while the SPCA left its Mere-croft Road shelter on short notice, the society never intended to aban-don Campbell River.

“At no time did we even contemplate that we wouldn’t have a presence here,” Daniell said at the June meeting. “We been here for a long time and we hope to be here even longer. We are certainly committed to being in Campbell River.”

The SPCA pulled its operations in Campbell River at the end of March after the city awarded its animal control contract to Coastal Animal Con-trol instead of the SPCA.

New SPCA adoption centre?

Anti-salmon farm film takes award

A controversial anti-salmon farming documentary, produced by a Campbell River filmmaker, earned an award last Friday at the Vancouver International Film Festival.

Twyla Roscovich’s “Salmon Confidential”

won the Most Popular Canadian Environmental Documentary Award at the festival.

The film has been called “unscientific and biased” by the salmon farming industry, and Roscovich readily admits she’s a supporter of wild salmon.

The 70-minute documentary was first

screened in Campbell River last spring and has since been taken on the road to more than 40 communities.

In the film, Roscovich follows Alexandra Morton’s 2012 investigation of wild salmon deaths which Morton attributes to European viruses

associated with salmon farming.

Roscovich is the one-woman film crew who follows Morton’s trips to court, remote rivers, government offices, Vancouver grocery stores and sushi restaurants.

Roscovich grew up in Campbell River and graduated from Carihi.

COULD YOU BE OUR NEXT HOME OWNER?

Habitat for Humanity believes that home ownership brings security, stability, and many other bene� ts. The biggest barrier for many families is saving up a down payment.

With a Habitat for Humanity home there is NO DOWN PAYMENT.

Habitat homes are built by volunteers and donors and sold to quali� ed families. Habitat holds the mortgage, charges no interest and amortizes the mortgage in a way that ensures families pay no more than 30 per-cent of their income for housing. If you are a hard-working family who would like to own your own home, the Habitat program may be for you.

“Just like not all Canadians say ‘eh’, it’s a stereotype to say that immigrants are a drain on social services and health care. Many immigrants work hard and volunteer in the community to build our country together.”

Paul RudanCampbell RiveR miRRoR

It’s understand-able bassist Mike Archer is thinking

about the West Coast and sunny Texas too.

It’s Wednesday and The 24th Street Wail-ers are still trying to make it out of endless of monotony of thick bush, streams, swamp and moose otherwise known as Northern Ontario.

On this night the Wailers play Thunder Bay and then Thursday the band makes another long drive northwest in their 1996 Vandura to Kenora where a gig at the Bijou Steakhouse awaits them.

But it all gets better a week from now when the Toronto-based band arrives in Vancouver to play the Railway Club and then it’s on to Vancouver Island and Campbell River for a

concert at the Tidemark Theatre on Friday, Oct. 25.

“We had a great time out there this summer,”

says Archer during a telephone interview.

In July, The 24th Street Wailers were one of the crowd favourites at Vancouver Island Musicfest in Courtenay. Fans digged the blues/rockabilly sound led by drummer and lead singer Lindsay Beaver – who’s also married to Archer – guitarist Emily Burgess and saxophonist Jon Wong.

This is not some slow-footed, blues-roots shuf-fle bands. Nope. The 24th Street Wailers bring unbridled enthusiasm to their original songs fronted by Beaver’s

straight-from-the-soul vocals and punctuated by Wong’s blazing riffs on tenor sax.

It’s a sound that has kept the quartet going virtually non-stop since January 2011 after releasing their first album Dirty Little Young’uns. Their May 2012 release, Unshake-able, caught the atten-tion of even more fans and last February the Wailers released Live in Halifax.

They’ve been tour-ing straight since April, although they did get a summer break.

“Ten days off in

August. That was it,” Archer says with a

chuckle. “But after this tour we’re heading to Wildwood, Texas, to record our fourth album…I’m looking for-ward to it.”n The 24th Street

Wailers perform at the Tidemark Theatre on Friday, Oct. 25, 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $17. This is a licensed event so you need to be age 19 or over.

Get your poodle skirts and black leather jackets

ready for the Campbell River Altrusa Club’s third annual movie event.

On Saturday, Nov. 16, at 7 p.m., the iconic 1978 musical, Grease, will be shown at the Tidemark Theater.

Come and see Danny and Sandy reunite after

a wonderful summer love…but things can get complicated when your pals are around.

Filled with old-time humour, trips to local

hangouts, evenings at the drive-in, and school events, John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John (and friends) sing and dance their way through

50’s high school life. The amazing choreog-raphy in this movie is as fresh and fun as it was in 1978. Enjoy the classic soundtrack with

its famous tunes such as Hopelessly Devoted To You, You’re the One That I Want, Summer Nights, Greased Light-ning and many more.

The fun-filled eve-ning will be introduced by Christine Knight, this year’s enthusiastic Master of Ceremonies. Knight teaches Drama at Carihi. Since she works with theatre kids, dress-ing up in costume, sing-ing and dancing, acting silly and having fun is part of a regular work day for her.

She will be explaining any props or prompts to be used at strategic points throughout the show. In addition to the complimentary prop, glow in the dark brace-lets will be sold by dona-tion. There is a special use for these…come to the event to find out about it.

Manage stress naturallyimprove energy, sleep Better, Reduce Cravings

Our ability to adapt to stress depends upon optimal function of the adrenal glands. When excess stress overloads our adrenal glands symptoms can include: fatigue,

insomnia, anxiety, depression, low back pain, asthma, allergies, blood sugar problems, hormonal imbalances, irritability, headaches, sugar cravings, gastrointestinal symptoms and inflammatory conditions.

The ‘roots’ of the original AdrenaSense Formula Throughout my life I had good health and boundless energy and then suddenly in my early 30’s I hit the wall with fatigue… I had three children under the age of 3, my marriage broke up, and I went back to work thinking I could ‘do it all’. My body did not agree… nothing helped the crippling fatigue until I saw a naturopathic doctor who introduced me to my adrenal glands. When I started naturopathic practice in the 1980’s it was my own experience with adrenal fatigue that allowed me to recognize it in my patients and over the years I saw the need for an effective adrenal supplement.

AdrenaSense® is the original solution I formulated for patients and others who have found it very effective.

The Original AdrenaSense Formula: The herbs in the AdrenaSense formula are called adaptogens that have been proven to support stress reactions and normalize adrenal function. These include Rhodiola, Suma, Schizandra Berries, Siberian Ginseng and Ashwagandha, which in combination, enhance mental and physical performance; balance the nervous system helping with anxiety and insomnia; support the immune, cardiovascular and hormonal systems; counteract fatigue, anxiety and depression; as well as provide vital energy.

It is getting chillier out there so on Saturday, surprise your Sweetie with an invitation to a Friendly Fall Contra Dance at the Big Yellow Merville Hall in down-town Merville.

Slip on the dancing boots and whoop it up to the Contra Dance tunes of the Funtime Fiddlers.

They’ve rosined up the bows and are keen to deliver the tunes while our dance caller, June Cannon, keeps the danc-

ers organized and even brings the wallflowers onto the floor.

Before the dance, from 7-7:30 p.m., there will be a Contra Dance work-shop as well as some instruction in basic waltz patterns. The workshops are free of charge so plan to come early. At 7:30 p.m., the Funtime Fid-dlers start the music.

Single dancers are most welcome as they can pair up with anyone dur-ing the Contras and the

Contra sets last about 15 to 20 minutes per dance.

Doors open at 6:45, dance starts at 7:30 p.m.

Cost is $10/adults, $5/youth (6 and under free) and you can come as a family for $22.

encouraged to come in costume, though it isn’t mandatory and there will be prizes.

Groups are buying up blocks of tickets and making it a fun night out with family and friends.

Tickets are still $20 per person in order to make this an affordable night out for everyone.

This event is pre-sented by the Altrusa Club of Campbell River. The club supports 20 local community groups, organizations and events, such as the Campbell River Wom-ens’ Center, The Salva-tion Army, Parks and Rec summer programs, C.R. Adult Care Center, the Golden Girls Tea, and Rose Harbour, just to name a few.

Literacy is the primary mandate of the club.

Members participate in Family Literacy Day, provide bursaries for students, and visit Strong Start Programs and preschools provid-ing children with books to take home.

The Altrusa Club has also received an award from Altrusa Interna-tional for its ongoing Comfort Bag Project, which provides special bags filled with books and a cozy “quillow” to all the children and teens who stay at the Ann Elmore House.

Last year, more than

430 people enjoyed the Sing Along Mamma Mia presented at the Tide-mark and the Altrusa Club is hoping that this year’s movie event will be even more fun.

So pull out your bobby socks and saddle shoes, sweater sets or leather jackets, or maybe even your teasing combs or Brylcream and come down to the Tidemark on Nov. 16.

Tickets are available at the Tidemark Theater Box Office (250-287-PINK) or online at www.tidemarktheatre.

Small businesses to our economySmall and medium sized businesses are the cornerstone of the Canadian economy. They account for 99.8% of all Canadian companies and employ more than 60% of private sector workers. On the week of October 20th join other Campbell River Entrepreneurs and sup-port them in building successful, innovative businesses.

This years theme is 26 under: SUCCESS AHEAD! MAP YOUR FUTURE GROWTH. Every business begins with an idea and a vision. Yet the roadmap to growth is never simple. Canadian entrepreneurs know that long term success requires passion, commitment, hard work, a great offering and a solid plan. Expanding your market whether at home or abroad demands determination and adaptability, resources, an appetite for greater risk and even a little luck.

........................................................................History of small business monthBDC Small Business Week™ is a Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) trademark whose origins date back to 1979 when BDC business centres in British Columbia’s Lower Fraser Valley pooled their resources to organize a week of activities for entrepreneurs. This first event and one that followed in 1980 were so successful that BDC officially launched Small Business Week across Canada in 1981. The initiative was quickly adopted by Can-ada’s business community. In 2012, over 200 activities across Canada attracted close to 10,000 business people to BDC Small Business Week™. This BDC flagship event celebrates entrepreneurship at the local, provincial and national levels.

........................................................................A quick look at small and mediumsized businessesSmall and medium sized businesses are big in Canada: 98.1% of businesses have fewer than 100 employees and contribute slightly more than 30% to Canada’s GDP.

In a global economy, exports add significantly to economic growth. 86% of exporting com-panies are small (<100 employees), but produce only 25% of the total value of Canadian exports; the majority of exports (57%) are provided by large firms.

Almost 55% (615,599 firms) are micro businesses (1-4 employees). SMEs employed 63.7% of private sector employees in 2011, or 6.8 million people across the country. In 2011, SMEs created about 79 000 jobs. Over the 2001 to 2011 period SMEs were responsible for 53.9% of all jobs created on average in the private sector.

E-commerce is revolutionizing the way Canadians do business, but Canadian entrepreneurs are missing out. Just 10% of small businesses were selling

online last year, Statistics Canada says.

Meanwhile, Canadian consumers spent an estimated $21 billion on online purchases last year, up nearly 30% in just two years, accord-

ing to research firm eMarketer.

“The world is moving toward this type of commerce,” says Anita Bezeau, Assistant Vice President, Information and Communication Technology Solutions at the Business Devel-

opment Bank of Canada (BDC). “Canadians are online, but Canadian businesses aren’t there. The result is Canadian consumers are buying online from the U.S. and other countries.”

Get your feet wet

The good news: It’s never been easier or cheaper to get started in e-commerce. No longer do businesses need to invest huge sums in an e-commerce website. You can create a sales-ready site with no pro-gramming knowledge using free services such as OpenCart and PrestaShop, or inexpensive providers such as Shopify and eBay Stores.

These sites come with an on-line shopping cart, product

catalogues and the ability to pay via credit cards or

other methods, such as PayPal. Also included are options for customer

reviews and feedback, and data on your sales to help you track performance. “If you know how to use e-mail, you can build an e-commerce site in 15 min-

utes,” says Harley Finkelstein, Chief Platform Officer at Shopify, a

leading e-commerce website provider.

E-commerce can level the playing field for small businesses, including those in small towns,

Finkelstein notes. Online sales allow you to punch far above your weight in attracting cus-tomers. With a well-designed website, a small business can reach as many people online as a much larger company. Plus, your site can be seen worldwide 24 hours a day, and internet marketing tends to be cheaper than tradi-tional methods.

“The Internet has democratized entrepre-neurship,” Finkelstein adds. “Thanks to the Internet, I think the future of commerce belongs to small businesses.” Another advan-tage: E-commerce lets businesses test prod-ucts and marketing approaches at little cost, while getting quick feedback from potential customers.

The online advantage

Unlike a bricks-and-mortar store, where you might be stuck with the same product display for months because of the investment, an e-commerce site can be changed for free in minutes to include new products or a dif-ferent look, Finkelstein says. You can then quickly check your web traffic data to see how clients are responding to your changes.

E-commerce allows the kind of trial and error that entrepreneurs often need to do before succeeding, Finkelstein says. “One of the advantages of online sales is you can pivot quickly.” Bezeau agrees: “The cost of entry is very low. The Internet allows you to try and fail and learn.”

Selling over the Internet helps streamline order processing, reducing costs and errors, Bezeau adds. And it offers businesses a “huge competitive edge” because of the conve-nience of online ordering, she says. “The more convenience you create for clients, the more they’ll stick with your business.”

E-commerce revolutionNOT SELLING ONLINE YET?HERE’S WHY YOU SHOULD.

1 Start small Don’t get bogged down trying to create a huge,

high-end website featuring hundreds of products. Start with a free or low-cost e-commerce site, and test three or four products to gauge customer inter-est while working out the kinks in your ordering and fulfilment process.

2 Test and learn Don’t expect to succeed with your first efforts. “It’s

really about learning,” BDC’s Anita Bezeau says. “Technology allows us to do and test quickly and economically.”

3 Be attractive In your online store, feature

attractive product images, clear descriptions and an easily navigable layout, so visitors can quickly find what they’re looking for and make a purchase. Also, engage visitors with fun and educational extras: how-to tips for products, interesting videos and background information on the story of your company.

We all know Canada’s populati on is aging. But how will changing demo-

graphics aff ect your business?

First, the good news. Aging consumers have diff erent buying habits, so that means opportuniti es if you’re creati ve. The bad news is that as baby boomers reti re, many businesses will face labour shortages because not enough younger workers will be around to take their place.

Either way, businesses that don’t adapt to the reality of the aging populati on could face severe challenges and are going to miss opportuniti es, says Pierre Cléroux, Chief Economist at the Busi-ness Development Bank of Canada (BDC).

The impacts are already being felt in some sectors and regions where busi-nesses are struggling to fi nd younger employees to replace reti ring boomers. “If we don’t manage our labour force according to the new trends, it’s going to be diffi cult for businesses to be suc-cessful,” Cléroux says.

Retain older employees

In the next 20 years, the median age of Canadians is expected to rise to 45, up from 26 in 1991, Stati sti cs Canada projects. Twenty years ago, nearly two people entered the labour force for every person nearing reti rement. Today, the rati o is one to one, and it is expect-ed to drop further.

Happily, Cléroux says entrepreneurs can take steps to adapt—and even fi nd opportuniti es by reviewing how to adapt products and services to an older consumer’s needs.

“Every sector of the economy is going to be impacted,” Cléroux says. To deal with the coming labour crunch, you can start by creati ng more accommodati ng workplaces to enti ce aging employees to put off reti rement, he suggests. Older workers oft en can’t or don’t want to work full-ti me. Flexible hours, part-ti me

Boomers and your

business

jobs and temporary work are ways to keep them on board. Some companies also deliberately recruit seniors to fi ll labour gaps.

“Older workers usually have a great work ethic and experience,” Cléroux says. “Businesses will need to keep their people working for them longer. The percepti on is that at 65 people are done. That percepti on will have to change.”

Les MacIntyre is a fi rm believer in retaining older employees to make up for a shortage of younger workers at his company, Superport Marine Services. He has no mandatory reti rement age and off ers reti rees fl exible, part-ti me and temporary jobs. He also pairs them with younger workers to pass on skills. “Those guys pick up a wealth of exper-ti se. The reti red guys have the pati ence to pass on that knowledge. They bring a lifeti me of skill,” he says.

MacIntyre also works hard to foster a positi ve workplace culture so reti rees are eager to come back. “I try to insti ll a sti mulati ng and sati sfying workplace so they enjoy working here and I have a high retenti on rate.”

Immigrants are key

Another soluti on is immigrati on, which has always been important in address-ing labour shortages in Canada, Cléroux says. That role will grow: 20 years from now, 32% of the labour force will have been born outside Canada, versus 21% today.

Cléroux says Canadian entrepreneurs will need to be more welcoming to foreign-born workers. “Businesses will have to be more fl exible in accepti ng people trained, educated and born out-side Canada.”

Creati ve changes will be needed to remain competi ti ve, he adds. “We can no longer do the same things as in the past. The structure of the last 40 years is going to have to change. But if we do things correctly, we should be able to retain Canada’s competi ti ve positi on.”

Say you’ve got a small business in need of a loan. You’re growing, and you’d like some extra money for an expansion project. Sales are going up, and you’re making a nice profit. Should be an easy sell to the bank, right?

Not necessarily, especially if you don’t do your homework, says Pat Latour, Senior Vice President, Financing and Consulting, at the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC). “If you’re going to expand, you’ve got to have a plan. If you don’t, you can jeopardize the rest of the business that is doing well,” he says.

Many businesses walk into a bank’s office without the right planning—and then they’re surprised when their loan request is turned down. “Knowing the numbers is key. How will the expansion affect your profitability?” Latour asks.

“Growing businesses need more working capital because they’re often supporting additional inventory and more staff.

And it often takes a while for the expansion to increase profit-ability,” Latour explains. “On the other hand, an expansion can also lead to unexpectedly rapid revenue growth. Entrepreneurs should also plan for that scenario and be ready to use the extra revenue to aim even higher,” he says.

How do you get your ducks in a row for a successful loan request? First, take time to work out your anticipated return on the investment, including not just the cost of the fixed asset, but also the way your business operations will change as you grow.

Second, it’s vital to think about your timing when applying for a loan. Busi-nesses often wait too long, Latour says. Instead, they use cash flow to finance major expansions or, even worse, wait until they’re facing a cash crunch to see the bank.

“One of the

biggest reasons businesses fail or an

expansion doesn’t suc-ceed is a lack of work-

ing capital. It’s always easier to get financ-ing beforehand than

when you have a timing crunch,” he says.

Latour advises fast-growing businesses to meet their banker every year to get a pre-approved loan for capital expen-ditures, which they can draw on instead of tapping working capital. Such a credit facility also lets a business react more quickly to opportunities, since it doesn’t need to apply for a new loan each time it needs funds.

change to grow

Sean Darrah learned some of these les-sons at his fast-growing food services business, Pace Processing. Starting from

a 1,500-square-foot space in 2001, it had

grown to a 10,000-square-foot location by 2007. But

even that space was maxed out, and Darrah wanted to expand into a

new, bigger building. He had always used working capital to finance his growth, but he now realized he needed a loan for the costly expansion.

He was in for a surprise when he ap-proached a bank and was initially turned down. Despite sales growth of 25% to 30% per year, he had been spending all his operating cash and writing off equip-ment every year. “It looked like we didn’t have many assets,” Darrah says, who then hired an accounting firm to help him demonstrate his company’s true value.

The bank took another look and agreed to the loan, which allowed Pace to move into its own new 25,000-square-foot building in 2010. Darrah also got a line of credit for future capital spending. “What prevented us from taking the next step was always spending all our cash. It was really clear we needed to change to grow.”

The Campbell River Chamber of Com-merce Business Expo

is a high engagement, business-to-business event that provides excellent opportunities for local businesses and suppliers to profile their business, con-nect with other exhibitors, and identify opportunities to collaborate and lever-age opportunities related to the transition that our community is undergoing. “Many of our exhibitors also use this event as a client and customer appreciation opportunity,” says Colleen Evans, Chamber President. “In addition to potential business and new clients that may arise from meeting the other exhibitors, past exhibitors have told us that they use the expo to have quality face-to-face time with their clients and potential clients.” “It’s sometimes really hard in a busy business to get those few hours to dedicate to client appreciation so many of our exhibitors invite their clients and suppliers to meet them at the expo and they provide gift bags or draws for them to enter while they are there,” further added Evans.

This year join us and hear from a panel of key construction and major projects representatives that will provide updates on key construction projects in our com-munity, accessing a skilled workforce and

information that will help our local busi-nesses and suppliers prepare to compete and maximize these opportunities. The panel will be of interest to exhibitors and the public alike.

The Business Expo will be held on Tuesday, October 22nd at the Campbell River Community Centre from 11 – 3 PM. The panel presentation will begin at 1:30. Attendees and participants will be encouraged to enter a draw at the Chamber’s booth for round trip airfare for two between Campbell River and Vancouver, courtesy of Pacific Coastal Air-lines. Admission is free to the public. The expo is presented by the Chamber and sponsored in part by BC Hydro with sup-port from Berwick Retirement Communi-ties and Canadian Western Bank. Quay West Kitchen & Catering will be onsite throughout the event and will be provid-ing complementary appetizers after the panel’s presentation.

Airport electricians from around the coun-try charged into Camp-bell River recently.

More than one hun-dred delegates attended the Canadian Airports National Electrical Workshop at Painter’s Lodge and the Campbell River Airport.

Murray Ames, a Campbell River Airport technician and director/treasurer of the Cana-dian Airports Electri-cal Association, said Campbell River, which

was the smallest airport to ever host the annual workshop, put on a great show.

“It turned out fan-tastic,” Ames said. “We ended up with the largest turnout in our 18-year history; we broke a lot of records.”

In fact, the workshop broke previous atten-dance records in all areas. The 103 registered delegates surpassed the previous high of 98 while the trade show, which took place at the Community Centre, had 33 booths, up from the previous record of 29 displays.

A program for spouses of the delegates also broke an attendance record with 27 spouses making the trip to Campbell River, com-pared with the previous high of 22.

While the delegates were treated to two hands-on training ses-sions at the Campbell River Airport, workshop attendees were also given a guided tour along the new John Hart Generating Station project, as well as a trip through the Quinsam Fish Hatchery.

The spousal program included visits to Cathe-dral Grove near Port Alberni as well as a trip

to the Quinsam Hatch-ery, a carving tour by carver Bill Henderson and a visit to the Mus-sels and More pottery studio in Campbellton. The program wrapped up with guided visits to the museum and Mari-time Heritage Centre.

The workshop wound up with a dinner at Painter’s Lodge followed by a casino night hosted by the Campbell River Kinsmen.

The lucky winners were then able to bid on items at a silent auction, many of which were donated by local busi-nesses. Ames said the workshop, which took place Sept. 22-27, was so successful that he’s con-fident it will be back.

“It’s pretty well guar-anteed they’ll be back,” Ames said. “They all want to come back to Campbell River.

“They actually wanted to come back next year. The response was abso-lutely amazing – they loved Campbell River.”

The workshop was jointly hosted by the Canadian Airports Elec-trical Association, the Campbell River Airport, the Campbell River Airport Authority and the city which donated $5,000 towards hosting

Last time we discussed some of the clothing

required for winter rid-ing and commuting.

Warm, windproof and waterproof clothing is a must, but should also be bright neon green, yellow or orange and prefer-ably have some reflective properties.

Your bike also should be outfitted for winter riding.

Riding on the trails on a nasty, rainy day can actually be a lot of fun, getting muddy is all part of the sport but com-muting on the road on a wet, dark day can be an issue. But with a few minor improvements and adjustments, your bike can be made a lot more comfortable to

ride. First off is safety. Lights are a must. The question to ask yourself first is “Do I want to be seen (by others) or do I want to see (where I’m going).

If you ride on roads, then the BC law states you must have a white light mounted on the front, vis-ible for 150 meters and you must have a rear red light visible for 100 meters and a red reflec-tor visible for 100 meters when directly illumi-nated by a car headlight.

These are minimums and most bike lights sold in reputable bike shops

will meet these require-ments but more power-ful lights are advisable and available.

If your commute takes you where there are no street lights or onto the trails, then you need a lot more light.

A headlight, preferably mounted on your helmet (so you can point it where

you want to see) and about 500 lumens power output is quite accept-able for these conditions although some of the hard core mountain bik-ers require aircraft land-ing light capacity.

Reflectors and self

adhesive reflective strips are available to mount on the frame of your bike, this makes you easier to see from the side in the dark.

Fenders are a must to prevent you from get-ting sprayed by a rooster tail from the rear wheel.

Fenders come in a variety of shapes, sizes and mounting options. The simplest are clip on fenders which can be easily removed but for the more serious com-muter, full fenders, wide enough to cover the tire, permanently mounted which cover at least half the wheel are advisable.

When installing fend-ers, make sure you have enough space between the tire and the bike frame for the fenders to

fit. To carry your dry clothes, lunch, computer or whatever, good qual-ity, roll top panniers are a must.

The better ones have a dry bag type sealing system with the seams welded, not stitched and made out of a water-proof material.

The cheaper ones have a zipper to close them but most zippers are not waterproof enough on really wet days.

Rain has a way of seeping into everything. For those of you who carry your stuff in a pack, a waterproof pack cover is essential.

Get ready for winter now! Till next time, ride safely.

Steve can be found at Outdoor Addictions.

Workshop: Keeping electricians up to datethe event.

Ames also acknowl-edged Painter’s Lodge for putting up the delegates as well as the Coast Discovery Inn which took in overflow guests, and all the local

businesses that provided sponsorship, donations and assistance in putting the workshop on.

The workshop exists to keep airport electri-cians up-to-date with specialized training; help airport electricians

establish contacts to assist with issues and emergency repairs; and connect staff with man-ufacturers to cut down on the costs of ordering parts from suppliers.

The Canadian Air-ports Electrical Asso-

ciation was formed as a non-profit by airport electrical staff across the country 18 years ago to fill the void left when Transport Canada, which used to run the workshops, sold off its airports.

Drive Smart BCI Break the Rules, But I do it Safely

One of the most common responses that I received having stopped a driver for a traffic violation was a rationalization or justification for the behaviour I observed. The driver clearly knew that what they were doing was against the traffic laws but in their minds they were still being safe. Exceeding the speed limit, slowing down for stop signs, or even driving on the wrong side of the road could be excused because “No one else was around.” If that was the case, where did I and my fully marked police vehicle materialize from?

Brake is a road safety charity in the UK. They partnered with an insurance company and surveyed 1,000 drivers about their own driving and their perception of other drivers. Among their findings are 63% of young drivers feel that it is more dangerous than safe to drive, 46% of men break the rules, but only when they can do it safely and that 99% think that they are at least as safe as the average driver.

I suspect that if this survey was conducted here in British Columbia the results would be much the same. Most of us think that we are better than the average driver, something that cannot be true. This perception of our own capabilities can lead to poor decision making which in the context of driving may mean injury and death. That costs us all when we pay our taxes and renew the insurance for our vehicles.

Will the BC government take this inflated perception of capability into consideration when they review the public input of the speed limit survey planned for next month? I hope so because my experience has shown me that some drivers have neither the knowledge nor the forethought to contribute in a truly useful way. Driver education should be a driving career long effort, not one that ends when we first receive our full licence.

Limit access to booze, cash, high-risk slot machines: report

Jeff NagelBlack Press

B.C. does too little to fight problem gambling and should consider new steps, from making it harder to get alcohol and cash in casinos to remov-ing the most addictive high-risk slot machines.

Those recommenda-tions come from Provin-cial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall, who tack-led the health impacts of gambling Wednes-day with the release of his annual report titled “Lower the Stakes.”

Chief among the find-ings is that B.C. under-spends other provinces in prevention and treat-ment for problem gam-bling – it invests about half the national average on a per capita basis.

Liquor access is one area of risk the province could tighten, Kendall said, perhaps through reduced hours of alcohol service at casinos or by raising drink prices.

He said gambling deliv-ers endorphins that stim-ulate pleasure centres of

the brain.“If you also have alco-

hol and add that to the mix and you’ve got an ATM there with an unlimited cash amount, you’ve definitely got a scenario where people are going to behave less and less responsibly.”

Banning ATMs or requiring players to set an advance limit on what they might spend is another idea advanced in the report.

It also zeroes in on high-risk electronic gam-ing machines – the slots designed by manufactur-ers to generate the most compulsive behaviour.

Kendall suggested they be replaced with lower risk models and urged the province to post the risk rating on each machine so gamblers could choose a lower risk option.

Gerald Thomas of the Centre for Addictions Research, a co-author of the report, said the prov-ince has high, medium and low risk ratings for all of the slot machines in B.C. casinos and should disclose how many it has of each.

Kendall noted govern-ment is in a conflict of interest because it relies heavily on gambling profits but is also respon-sible for protecting vul-nerable citizens.

“This is a public health

issue,” he said, adding the time may be right for a “fulsome discus-sion on the benefits and the risks” of gambling in light of rejections of new casinos over the past two years by Surrey and Van-couver.

Any new decisions to expand gambling should come with an assessment of the risk to problem gamblers and be con-tingent on reducing the overall share of revenue extracted from them, the report recommends.

T h e re’s b e e n n o detailed study of prob-lem gambling in B.C. in several years but new research is slated for next year.

According to 2007 statistics, 3.7 per cent of B.C. residents are at “moderate risk” and 0.9 per cent are classified as problem gamblers.

Kendall noted the two groups account for 26 per cent of total gambling revenue despite making up less than five per cent of the population.

There are 160,000 gam-blers in the two risky groups but only 4,000 calls per year to a prob-lem gambling helpline, suggesting the number of people who could be helped is “much higher.”

Kendall argues the B.C. Lottery Corp. could do more to identify prob-lem gamblers – possibly

using data on their gam-bling gathered through a loyalty card program – and then dispatching staff to attempt treatment interventions.

The report calls on the province to devote at least 1.5 per cent of gam-bling revenue to problem gambling initiatives, tri-pling the current outlay.

It also urges school classes to warn children of the dangers of gam-bling, focusing on stu-dents in grades 10 to 12.

Provincial gambling revenue per capita climbed 56 per cent over the last decade from $353 per person in 2002 to $552 by 2011.

The $2.1-billion a year industry delivers nearly $900 million in net prof-its to government.

B.C. Finance Minister Mike de Jong said in a statement the province this year increased its Responsible Gambling program budget by 30 per cent.

“We take the social costs of gambling seri-ously,” he said, adding the province and BCLC will provide $11 million for responsible gambling this year.

De Jong said the prov-ince is committed to continually improving but will review the per-formance of its current programs before consid-ering any more spending.

The Campbell River Storm Junior Hockey

Club has been trans-formed into a bunch of merciless zombies.

Come see for yourself at the Zombie Escape at Willow Point Park on Sunday, Oct. 27.

Anyone can run. But it all changes when you’re running for your life.

Test your survival skills, speed, strength and endurance through 3 or 5 KM of obstacles all while being chased by starving zombies. Big thank you to the Storm for volunteering to terrorize our fellow citizens.

The City of Campbell River and the Strathcona Regional District is looking for more Zom-bie Bait (runners) and hungry Zombies to help with this event.

Are you interested? Call them.

Frequently asked Questions

Runners (a.k.a., ZOM-BIE BAIT):

What time should I

show up?We suggest at least

an hour before your

selected race time. If you need to pick up your race packet, plan for two hours. Please remember to allow additional time for parking.

Should I bring any-

thing?We also suggest a

change of clothes/shoes, or a towel for the ride home. You’re gonna get dirrrrty.

What should I wear?You’ll be given a race

bib in your race packet. You must wear it while on the course, or you’ll be tackled to the ground and left for the zombies to devour.

The apocalypse isn’t gonna be pretty. Be ready to get dirty.

Can I bring my fam-

ily/my dog/my neigh-bor’s niece’s cousin’s friend’s uncle?

You can bring every person you’ve ever known in your life, provided they stay off the race course. We will try to ensure that the zombies won’t eat their brains.

But – No dogs. No cats, no ferrets, chick-ens, or goldfish… Let’s not get crazy.

What’s the deal with

the flags?Every runner will be

given a flag belt with two flags that must be worn when on the obstacle/race course. Each flag represents your “life.” The zombies are super hungry for yours, so they’ll be after them in a serious way. Cross the finish line with at least one flag intact and you can brag to all your friends that you survived the zombie onslaught. Lose your flags, and you’ve joined the ranks of the living dead. You will have to return to the starting line and if you want to continue as a zombie our facepainters will make that happen.

Can I use my special-

ized homemade apoca-lypse weapons to fight the hungry horde?

Um, no. Absolutely no weapons of any kind, no matter how cool your gamer buddies think they are.

How old do I have

to be to run from the Zombies?

Eight is the minimum age, and only with a

signed waiver from a parent or guardian.

Do I have to complete

every obstacle?No, but you run the

risk of being devoured by flesh eating monsters if you choose to skip or go around an obstacle.

What kind of obsta-

cles will there be?Skipping through

fields of daisies, swim-ming through warm crystal clear waters… Ha. Like we’d tell you.

When is the last day I

can register?You can register up

until Oct 21. Zombies: Is this for real?You bet your life. Will there be real, live

living dead?Maybe. Can I actually eat a

participant if I catch one?

Please refrain from eating any of our run-ners. They might look tasty, but they’re prob-ably game-y, and the super-fit ones will be tough as hell.

The Mainstream Bio-logical Consulting Ltd. PeeWee B Tyees were on the ice in Port Alberni for a three3-day Tourna-ment over Thanksgiving that featured eight teams from Vancouver Island

and the Lower Mainland.The team faced a

strong and consistent opponent in West Van-couver in their opening round robin game.

G o a l t e n d e r Jayc e Hudak faced his share of

shots in the first period before a Tyees penalty allowed West Vancou-ver to capitalize on their power play and get the first goal. Despite a tough West Van offense the team blocked many shots and Hudak continued to come up with brilliant saves until defenseman Kayle Majic answered back with a quick wrist shot to the top right cor-ner of West Van’s net.

The second period saw a successful series of shifts to kill another Tyees penalty before Robert Gurney got the go ahead goal to make it 2-1. The lead was short lived, however as West Van answered back with the tying goal and an onslaught of shots. A couple of West Van 2 on 1 rushes and an unlucky rebound of of Hudak’s pads saw the Tyees lose momentum mid-way to an 8-2 loss.

Who let the dogs out?

The Tyees’ next oppo-nent were the host

Alberni Valley Bulldogs and the Tyee’s followed through with a plan to get more shots on net resulting in a goal by Robert Gurney with the assist coming from captain Dakota Sinclair not even two minutes into the game. Kyle Billy added to the tally in the first period as well.

Again momentum proved elusive for the team as Port Alberni used a turnover at the Tyees’ blue line and a strong point shot to come back into the game. Experienced second-year players Cole Devlin and Ridge Rosa added another goal each mid-way through the third period to ensure a 4-3 win.

Capital offense

That same Sunday afternoon the Tyees faced the Cowichan Valley Capitals. After unload-ing four shots in the first minute of play, the team found the back of the Cowichan net a total

of nine times, includ-ing a hat trick by Jordan Baker, another two goals from Ridge Rosa and sin-gles from Nathan Lagos, Dakota Sinclair, Gordon Ludvigson and Ethan Mainprize. Goaltending duties were shared by Jayce Hudak and Jared McAneeley and that combination only let in two goals. 9-2 final.

No rest for the wicked

That win rewarded the team with only just over an hour’s rest as they had a spot in the semifinals Sunday evening against another strong Lower Mainland opponent, Ridge Meadows.

Players had to forgo the hosting committee’s Thanksgiving buffet and its accompanying aroma for lighter fare in prepa-ration for this opportu-nity to be in Monday’s final. The opening period saw both teams play with an increased sense of urgency and pace and Jayce Hudak came up with some super saves.

The Tyees had a two-man advantage towards the end of the period but Ridge Meadows had a solid penalty kill to take away any scoring chances. Ridge Meadows were up 1-0 at the first intermission.

Tyees’ shots went wide and attempts to clear the zone were repeat-edly stopped by the Ridge Meadows defence, though Cole Devlin did get the equalizer part way into the second period. Another two-man advantage was not utilized by the Tyees and they gave up a short-handed goal, followed by another 5 goals from Ridge Meadows in the rest of the game. Dakota Sinclair did get a second Tyees goal with 30 sec-onds left on the clock. 6-2 final.

We meet again

The Tyees went full circle as West Vancouver had fallen to Oceanside in the other semifinal and the battle was now

against them for third and fourth place.

The opening period saw an increased effort to keep the puck in West Van’s end and get more shots on net. Down 1-0 partway through the 1st period, Tyee Ethan Mainprize used skilled st ickwork to weave his way through West Van’s defence to tie the game. As the final min-ute wound down in the period, Riory Young made good on a rebound to get the go ahead goal. The next two periods saw the Tyees’ defence block-ing numerous shots and assisting the offence with point shots but the team just couldn’t get the lucky rebounds on that day and fell 5-2 to finish in fourth place overall.

The dirt was flying at the Campbell River motocross track on Sunday. According to Dirtbiker.ca, “the Campbell River moto-cross track is one of the best on Vancou-ver Island, maybe the best. Maybe at the top of the list for B.C. mx tracks also. With perfect dirt, it makes for a motocrosser’s dream track.”

Local youth rugby players from the Campbell River

Athletic Association have had a busy enough fall season so far with their league play.

But they didn’t think twice about accepting an opportunity to par-ticipate in the America’s Rugby Championship half-time events last weekend held at Rugby

Canada’s Center of Excellence in Langford.

“Our U12’s suited up and had a great time in front of over 3,000 fans during the Argen-tina and USA match, then our U18 Women (combined Campbell River and Comox Valley players) played a long 10-minute, seven-aside match against the Velox Valhallians of Victoria

during the Canada vs. Uruguay match. I say long because sevens rugby is all-out sprinting with very few stoppages and normally a match consists of two seven-minute halves,” says club president and coach, Erin Young.

This weekend sees U8’s, U12’s and U14 girls travelling to Oak Bay for a Jamboree and

the girls will have an added treat of a training session with some of Canada’s national senior women’s team. The U18 Women will also travel south to face a strong Cowichan side. The U14 boys and U18 men will have a bye weekend.

Young says that new players are always wel-come and that U14’s and younger will continue to play in spring as well.

“Rugby is fun, chal-lenging, affordable, and you cannot beat the family atmosphere that rugby clubs have at their youth events,” Young says.

The Campbell River Booster Juice Bantam A Tyees were in tough at the start but soon got their game going in Port Moody at the Thanksgiv-ing Bantam Tournament last weekend.

The Tyees were in the Double A Division of the tournament and had two A1 teams in their bracket. Their first game was against North Van-couver A1 team. There appeared to be some sort

of a selective electromag-net under the ice at the start of this game. It only held Tyee skate blades firmly on the ice while allowing North Van to skate everywhere at high speed. Before an electri-

cian was located to turn the switch off, North Van had put four goals up on the scoreboard.

Once the Tyees got their feet moving, they made a valiant effort but just ran out of time,

losing by a score of 4-3. Game MVP was Olivia Knowles as she fre-quently contained or eliminated odd-man rushes on the Tyee net with her exceptional hockey IQ and great

skating. Game 2 fea-tured the A2 team from North Shore Winter Club (NWSC) against the Tyees. Confidence is a fragile thing even at the highest level of professional sports. The

NSWC team played at an up-tempo pace with crisp passing that show-cased why hockey is “the game.” The blistering pace took a bit of a toll on the Tyees as NSWC ultimately skated to a 7-1 victory. Seth Parker was selected game MVP for his efforts in patrolling the blue line with deter-mination and grit while laying out any NSWC player who came his way.

The Tyees played Aldergrove A1 in their third game. Fans saw the Tyees working hard for each other in all areas of the rink. Battles were won by Tyees in offensive and defensive zones. Shooting lanes were cleared to allow an unobstructed view from the goal crease.

Nic Ordano picked the perfect time to score his first goal of the season as it turned out to be the game winner in the Tyees 6-4 victory.

The Game MVP was Jaxon Ward who used his speed and strength to his advantage while notch-ing a hat trick, including a short-handed marker that turned the tide in favour of the Tyees.

Out of medal conten-tion, the Tyees resumed their rivalry with an Island opponent as they faced Nanaimo A2 in their final game of the tournament.

The Tyees seemed to draw inspiration from their recent success. Without saying it aloud, it seemed that they understood that they can compete with anyone but in order to do so, they must have a true com-mitment from everyone.

Forecheckers relent-lessly got on tired defend-ers, won pucks and fed the points for shots on goal. Forwards came back hard which gave defenders the opportu-nity to stand up at the Tyee blueline or make a good switch to take the attacker out of the play. Loose pucks quickly became Tyees’ property or were chipped out of harm’s way. Oppos-ing offensive players were moved aside while rebounds were controlled and kept to a minimum. The Tyees skated fast and furious to a well-earned 7-1 victory. Game MVP honours went to Ordano for his tenacity on the forecheck, leading by example and his second goal of the season.

Tyee goalies Dominik Bellefleur and Carson Bjorgsford finished the tournament with identi-cal records of one win and one loss.

Marlis Grete Helen Tippenhauer passed away on September 29th, 2013 at her home in Black Creek, B.C. Gracing the world with her presence on April 17th, 1933 in Hildesheim, Germany, Marlis developed a passion for swimming, sewing and culinary arts. Later on in her teenage years, she apprenticed and became a Seamstress, a talent she continued to utilize throughout her entire life, making beautiful clothing for herself as well as her entire family. Marlis married the “love of her life”, Henry Tippenhauer, on December 17th, 1955. In 1956, the two newlyweds ventured to British Columbia to begin a new life together. They first arrived in Pioneer Goldmine, then at Southgate Camp eventually settling in Black Creek, where they built a beautiful home. Marlis happily remained at her home for the rest of her life. The happy couple were blessed with a son, Roy, in 1960.

When they weren’t working hard taking care of their home, they were camping, fishing or skiing at Forbidden Plateau, activities they continued to take part in for many years. Roy married his wife, Carla and had two children, Nicole and Amy, who Marlis was incredibly proud of. Later on in life, Marlis enjoyed spending time with her family and friends, swimming, camping, gardening, taking care of her dog and baking/cooking the most delicious food to have ever touched your taste buds. Marlis was kind, caring, generous, warm and loving and was always there for her family. The lives of those who were lucky enough to know and spend time with her will forever be changed. She is survived by her son, daughter-in-law and two granddaughters, who will miss her greatly.

A Celebration of Life will be held at the Black Creek Recreation Center (Black Creek Hall) on Sunday November 3rd from 1pm to 4 pm. Refreshments will be served. In lieu of flowers please make a donation to your favorite charity in Marlis’ name.

In Loving Memory ofMILDRED PAGE

May 16, 1934-October 14, 2007

You never said I’m leavingYou never said goodbye

You were gone Before we knew it

And only God knows why.

A million times we’ve needed you,

A million times we’ve cried,If love alone

Could have saved you,You never would have died.

In life we loved you dearly,In death we love you still.

In our hearts You hold a special place

No one can ever fi ll.

It broke our hearts to lose you,

But you didn’t go aloneFor part of us went with you

That day God called you Home.

Forever loved, missed and always remembered.

ROB MICKELBERRY’S JOURNEY TO THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF ENERGY EFFICIENCYAfter nearly a year travelling on a “rock star” bus from one end of North America to another, Rob Mickelberry, his wife and three children were ready to re-establish permanent roots back home in Victoria.

“We bought a property while we were on the road,” says Rob, “then lived in the old house while we sub-divided the lot and built a new home that would be ours.” Because Rob wanted the home – completed in May 2013 – “for the long haul,” he was determined it would not cost a fortune to run.

By calling in certified energy advisors City Green Solutions early in the design process, Rob was able to build-in a number of refinements – including an air source heat pump, triple glazing, a heat recovery ventilation system and extra insulation – that resulted in the home achieving a remarkable EnerGuide 88 rating from Natural Resources Canada.

That makes it, says Mike Young of City Green, “approximately 59 per cent more energy efficient than if this home had been built to BC Building Code standards.” It will also save Rob an estimated $1,500 to $1,800 a year on his energy bills.

Icing on the cake: the high EnerGuide rating also qualified Rob for $2,000 in incentives from the BC Hydro Power Smart New Home Program, and he’s eligible for the ENERGY STAR® Package incentive of $150 per home for installing qualified energy-efficient lighting and appliances.

To find out more about buying or building a Power Smart new home, please visit bchydro.com/pshome.

Second to noneLodavico Fruscalzo’s relatives in northern Italy think it just snows here and it’s too cold to grow anything. but Fruscalzo tells them there’s better tomato-growing conditions in Campbell River than there is in California or northern Italy and the proof is ripening on his sundeck on Cedar Street as this photo from last week-end proves.

The city has awarded a contract for a downtown visioning session to establish a community-supported concept for vacant waterfront land near Roberts Reach Road.

The team of PFS Studio and Public Architecture and Communication will begin the negotiating –or cha-rette – process as early as the end of October.

“A charrette is a collaborative design and land use planning session that combines the interests of a diverse group of people to achieve a viable land use and urban design concept that balances the relation-ship between public needs and land development priorities,” says Ross Blackwell, the City’s manager of land use services. “Throughout the process, members of the public will be invited to learn and share their ideas for the civic and cultural heart of the city.”

In September, the City held two pre-charrette events where members of the public provided feedback that will help structure the charrette that will fine-tune the community vision for this area that was established through the Sustainable Official Community Plan process.

Thirty-three participants at the pre-charrette ses-sions indicated strong support for:

As the number of people working past the expected age of retirement increases, so too does the number of mature job seekers searching for meaningful employment and compa-nies with skills vacancies.

Dorothy Thach, in her early fifties, found her-self unemployed after 20 years with her previous employer, “I knew it was

time for me to try some-thing new but I wasn’t sure how to go about finding my next job.”

Enter ThirdQuarter — an innovative job service dedicated to experienced people aged 45 years and over, in the ‘third quar-ter’ of their professional and working careers.

On the advice of a friend, Thach posted her resume on the Third-Quarter website and so impressed the manage-ment, that she is now an account manager with the company having

been promoted twice in only five months.

“We knew we wanted someone on staff with her unique skill set, awe-some attitude and strong work ethic,” says Sue Barkman, Vice President Marketing and Commu-nications for ThirdQuar-ter.

The ThirdQuarter sys-tem uses an essential, skills-based matching system that links appli-cants with the qualifica-tions today’s recruiters require for the diverse positions they need to

fill. There is no charge to candidates looking to post their resumes. The process also helps employers since mature workers are more than just job-ready but act as mentors for other staff and new Canadians.

“One of our goals is to increase awareness among the 45+ age group about the service that we offer,” says Edmund Lee, Western Canada Regional Manager for ThirdQuarter. “Our efforts are channeled into helping to build a multi-

generational workforce. Our advice is to forget the number and hire the person.”

T h e T h i r d Q u a r -ter team will be at the Campbell River Cham-ber’s third annual Busi-ness Expo, at the Camp-bell River Community Centre on Tuesday, Oct. 22, 2013 from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m.

“We’ll be available to answer questions and can take registrations from both job candidates and prospective employ-ers,” says Edmund Lee.
