Campbell River Mirror staffers have been nominated for two awards in the prestigious Ma Murray Awards presented by the B.C. and Yukon Community Newspapers Association.

Rivercorp’s chief economic officer says the organization needs more staff in order to attract the industry that will get Campbell River’s economy booming again.

Vic Goodman says Rivercorp is looking to add two new positions to its staff – an economic development officer with a salary of $53,663 per year and a development researcher at a price of $41,111 a year.

The economic development officer would introduce a full-scale business and retention program focused on nurturing and supporting existing businesses in Campbell River.

“It’s dedicated work because you have to go out and personally talk to them (businesses), you can’t rely on surveys,” Goodman says. The economic development research analyst would assemble information and materials as well as identify specific businesses and targeted industry sectors.

“If we have the researcher to do the background work it frees Continued on A3

Catalyst site attracting great interest, Rivercorp says KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Several companies have expressed interest in Catalyst’s former Elk Falls mill site despite some uncertainty surrounding the property.

Vic Goodman, chief operating officer of

Rivercorp, the city’s economic development body, said the organization has been working hard to re-populate the site with good industrial players.

“Lots of companies have come to look at the site,” Goodman said.

“Over the last quarter I’ve probably been

involved with at least 10 meetings where people came here (to look at the site). I work with something related to the Catalyst site every day.”

Goodman said there are at least 13 options being considered for the mill site, but added he can’t disclose what

they are due to confidentiality agreements.

“I can say the projects we’re looking at would be a tremendous benefit to the city as a tax base,” he said.

Complicating things though is Catalyst’s status under creditor protection through the Companies’ Credi-

Goodman: Two new staff requested up my role to be able to focus on the primary job of advancing the economic development agenda,” Goodman says.

But at last week’s city budget meeting, Goodman had difficulty presenting his budget to council and articulating what he was asking for. Goodman forgot to add last year’s budget figure ($492,000) with the increase he wants for 2012 ($292,625), leaving council confused as to what total figure Goodman wanted from the city.

“This was a foolish mistake and I take full responsibility for it,” Goodman said. “My mistake resulted in a confusing exchange with Mayor Jakeway.”

A day later, Goodman sent a memo to the city asking for $784,625 for Rivercorp’s 2012 budget.

“The city has never had a fully-staffed eco-

nomic development office and the 2012 Rivercorp budget was designed to fill these gaps,” Goodman says.

“When you look at the city’s overall budget it amounts to two per cent of the city’s overall budget for economic development, Tourism Campbell River and the Visitor’s Centre to go out and promote the city and grow it. When you look at it from that perspective I think it’s a reasonable investment.”

Goodman says the two new staff positions are vital in order for the organization to accomplish its goals.

In 2012 Rivercorp plans to investigate “g enerational economic engines” – industries that could serve the community for generations, more specifically, g reen energy options such as tidal and biomass (related to forestry)

technologies.

Rivercorp also plans to take advantage of the city’s new Agricultural Plan.

“There are many things in the Agricultural Plan we can look at beyond the food sector,” Goodman says.

He said blueberries, for example, could be grown for the fruit itself or for the skin, which contains ingredients such as antioxidants that could be extracted and sold to health stores. The blueberry could even be valuable to a cosmetic company for its colouring.

Rivercorp also plans to work with GeoScience BC to undertake an aerial survey of the North Island to attract mining investment.

Goodman also says Rivercorp will complete the Downtown Revitalization Plan, which Rivercorp failed to produce under the

previous CEO and as consequence, had to give back $43,000 to the city. The plan is aimed at making downtown more attractive and would set a vision to determine what type of business ventures to pursue.

Rivercorp, in partnership with Tourism Campbell River, also plans to start a regional asset inventory which will lay out how many hotels, bed and breakfasts, whale watching operations, etc. are in the Campbell River region. Rivercorp is also considering incorporating a hotel room tax, which Goodman says could be a very effective way of generating additional revenue to put towards tourism.

“In 20 years, Campbell River is going to look completely different,” Goodman says.

“The economy will be booming.”

tor Arrangement Act, which it applied for at the end of January. Catalyst obtained creditor protection after it failed to reach a deal with the union workers at its Crofton mill by a Jan.31 deadline. The company has said it will continue operations as usual at its mills in Crofton, Port Alberni and Powell River during the restructuring process but Goodman said he’s not sure the effect it could have on trying to sell off its property.

“We’re not sure how it impacts on what we’re trying to accomplish,” Goodman said.

“It’s all new to us and we’re trying to understand the implications of that.”

But despite the uncertainty, Goodman is confident the site will attract a new industry.

“The for mer Elk Falls mill site is one of the best – if not the best – available industrial site on the West Coast of North America because of all the infrastructure that’s

already been put in by Catalyst, all the permits are there, it has its own water access, its own deep water dock – all the things you’d need to take advantage of,” Goodman said.

“It’s an absolutely fabulous site.

Goodman says whichever business does take over the site, it will be cleaner than Catalyst: “We’re trying very hard to make sure the companies we’re trying to attract have a much greener footprint than the mill ever had.”

development of periodontal disease.

The inammation and destruction and pain that accompanies periodontal disease results from the direct action of bacteria and their by-products on periodontal tissues as well as the indirect activation of the pet's immune response. Left untreated, periodontal disease causes red, swollen and tender gums, receding gums, bleeding, pain and bad breath. If left untreated, periodontitis can lead to tooth loss.

The inammation and infection associated with periodontal disease may damage other organs such as the heart, liver, and kidneys, or lead to other serious health problems.

These teeth need to be closely examined and professionally cleaned by a licensed veterinarian or a supervised and trained veterinary technician.

The disease process is under the gums; this is where the bacteria are causing the inammation that results in periodontitis and pain.

However, access to the subgingival area of every tooth is impossible in an unanesthetized canine or feline patient.

Removal of dental tartar only on the visible surfaces of the teeth has no effect on a pet's health, and provides a false sense of accomplishment. The effect is purely cosmetic. Pets need to be anesthetized.

Dragons on the scent again PAUL RUDAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

G e o r g e A n d rew s knows all about saddlesore.

“When you get off the bike, you can’t even sit down,” says the 82-year-old, recalling his 1975 cross-country bicycle journey.

He’s hoping the Dragons also know what it’s like to feel muscle pain in the backside and inner thighs.

“I could never find the right (seat). So, when I came home, I started making it,” he tells three producers from the hit CBC-TV show Dragons Den. The trio, including executive producer Tracie Tighe, were at the Coast Discovery Inn on Wednesday.

They were back in Campbell River to hear pitches from about a dozen inventors and business people who are hoping to make it onto this year’s show.

“I’ve invested about $140,000,” says Andrews, a Courtenay resident and owner of Gabs Bicycle Saddle. “I’m thinking (of asking) somewhere between $75,000 and $100,000. That would ease my expenses a

little bit.”

The premise of the show is to elicit investment from the Dragons; five wealthy Canadian entrepreneurs looking for big capital gains by offering their cash and expertise to the pitchmen and women.

“We’re going to say it’s the best bicycle seat ever…?” Tighe asks.

“It is,” Andrews replies with confidence.

The producers head out on a Canada-wide tour each year, seeking new ideas, both practical and goofy, to bring to the Dragons Den.

WIN A DINNER FOR 2

It will be a few weeks before the fledgling entrepreneurs hear if they’ve made the cut for the fall season, to be taped in Toronto April 12 to May 13.

Even if they don’t make it, the initial experience of being questioned by the producers – similar, but not quite as grueling, as the grilling they’ll face from the Dragons – is a good one.

“I’ve watched the show and my friends told me I should be on there with my Swinkey,” says Courtenay golf pro Brian Ben-

that’s not enough to impress the Dragons.

“You’re asking for way too much money to go in front of the Dragons,” says Tighe.

“You need to start selling – get some orders.”

Magled agrees and says she will re-think her numbers.

As for Andrews, he’s sold about 300 bicycle seats from his homebased business. Metal parts for the seat are made in Vancouver and then they’re assembled in his basement where his wife sews the covers.

That makes producer Katie Cumby wonder why Andrews has invested so much money in the company? He explains the cash went to create patents in Canada and the U.S., and other funds were wasted on companies who claim to help new inventors.

That’s a story the producers have heard many times, yet Andrews is not deter red and tells about another long bicycle journey he did from Inuvik to Calgary in 55 days.

Tighe just smiles and asks the octogenarian, “Have you ever heard of taking the bus?”

“Just listening to them has already helped me get my (financial) numbers in order.”

And getting the right numbers is key to getting the Dragons’ attention.

That’s what Annette Magled of Salt Spring Island found out. She started out by asking for a $250,000 investment in her company, Vida Grains, which makes a variety of healthy cereals.

The producers are given samples to taste and they nod their heads in approval with each spoonful.

But then Tighe points out there’s already been a couple healthy cereal makers on the show, including Holy Crap from the Sunshine Coast, which got a Dragons’ deal and is now a multi-million dollar company.

Tighe asks what the money will be used for and Magled replies it will be used to rebrand the products and to try and get national distribution. The products are already sold in 15 health food stores, but

Pole peeler critics may finally get some answers

A7

3x3

RIVERCITY PLAYERS KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Council wants answers from city staff as to how a controversial pole peeler plant ended up so close to a residential neighbourhood.

Three Duncan Bay Road area residents blasted the city at Tuesday’s council meeting, demanding why the pole peeler was brought in despite their opposition.

“That 1998 petition, stating we were all against industrial zoning in our neighbourhood, what happened to it?” asked Tracey Deller, the owner of Blue Spruce Home Park which is next door to the plant.

“Did anyone even look at it? Did anyone even check how much of a majority signed?

“I’ve been told by many of you ‘that was what the council of the day did’. Well you are all the council of the day today and you’ve got to fix this.

You inherited all of it – the good and the bad.”

Residents are frustrated by the plant because of the highpitch screech the debarker emits as it peels the logs.

The plant, owned by Northern Pressure Treated Wood, began operating at 5301 Duncan Bay Road on Jan.

“I have been told that one of my neighbours had to back up the hill until he was past the entrance to the plant because the pilot car did not go up and stop traffic.”

Mayor Walter Jakeway said he had driven up the same road five times and on the fifth try he had to back up the road as well.

Coun. Andy Adams suggested the city look into getting a report from the RCMP into safe passage of the road.

In the meantime, Peter Wipper, city clerk, confirmed the pole plant does violate the public nuisance bylaw and as a consequence, the owner has hired an independent sound consultant to come up with noise abatement options.

The deadline for the report is Feb. 24 and Wipper said the owner is on track to meet that deadline.

Wipper added the city has received around 45 complaints about the level of noise coming from the pole plant.

In the end, council passed a motion to direct staff to come back with a report, in time for the next council meeting, with answers to questions posed by the delegations.

Our View

Most restrained budget since 1980s The new provincial budget is among the most restraint-minded handed down by a provincial government since the 1980s.

That’s the word from Bob Plecas, who should know. He was a deputy We say: A few minister in the Bill Bennett Social surprises but no Credit government of the mid1980s, one which brought down major shifts in the infamous “restraint” budget in policy 1983. That prompted the Solidarity movement and brought the province perilously close to a general strike. Plecas was in the budget lockup in Victoria on Tuesday. Now retired, he is a regular commenter on provincial affairs. Few people know

more about how the provincial government works.

Finance Minister Kevin Falcon introduced the budget Tuesday afternoon. It contains a few surprises, but no major shifts in policy. The current deficit is now projected at $2.5 billion, down a bit from $3 billion. Medical Service Plan premiums are on the rise again — 22 per cent in four years.

There is no HST relief for people who wish to do home renovations, except for seniors. It’s too bad it won’t be extended to everyone, at least until the PST returns next April 1. It would act as a boost to the economy. The $10,000 grant to first-time home buyers is a welcome and surprise addition. First-time buyers should look at prices carefully, and see if the

grant will allow them to buy. There is no boost to the education budget, other than $165 million to address classroom composition. While this is necessary due to a court ruling that went against the government, the lack of a funding boost will likely anger teachers, who want a 15 per cent pay raise over three years.

Falcon also stated that the final increase to the carbon tax will go ahead as scheduled on July 1.

However, he signalled that the tax will be reviewed, and it is possible that it could be eliminated.

The government focus on restraint is necessary, but it must examine how taxes impact individuals and the environment.

Letters

Council/media are clueless This is in response to the “saving” of the Sportsplex.

I am not sure who is more clueless here, the town council, towns people or you as a media outlet. This town is in a financial crisis. To pretend that none of the city brass was aware that the old Catalyst mill was going after a tax reclassification is a blatant lie, it has been common knowledge for a year. While Rome was burning our former mayor was growing plants on the roof of city hall, give me a break already.

I for one am opposed to a tax increase to support any institution that can not justifiably be salvaged. All I can do is be thankful that the new arena was never built a few years back. I am having a hard time justifying staying in this town with their hide their head in the sand mentality that many have here. I and many like me now work in Alberta and bring our coin back here, but not to see it poured down the drain. The view is nice as is the climate, but it is also nice in alot of other locations of BC and the continent for that matter.

I am not sure where you expect the money to keep coming from. If you as the editor read a paper and shared with your readership the crisis that Ontario is facing and this country may be facing shortly perhaps common sense would prevail.

Gerard Dalle Vedove

Just like Rivercorp, I want more money too

Paul Rudan No, really

I need to ask for a lot more money.

Oh, I know the powers that be who control the purse strings aren’t going to be happy with my request.

They’ll point out that revenues have never fully recovered from the recession and other costs just keep going up as well.

I do know this, all too well.

Nevertheless, I think it’s perfectly sensible to ask for an outrageous wad of cash, because I know I’m worth it.

And if they can’t see the value in wheeling over a wagon load of loot to my desk, I only need to point out that I’m not the only one wanting.

There is, in fact, a perfect example right here in our fair city of another organization asking for hefty raise because, frankly, they think they’re

worth it too.

I’m talking about Rivercorp.

That’s the economic “arm” of the city which has a great name, even though few outside its boardroom really know what it does.

Excuse me, Rivercorp is responsible for tourism and the visitor’s information centre – the latter ripped from the clutches of the chamber of commerce, but that’s an old story.

Tourism, however, is not the reason Rivercorp CEO Vic Goodman is asking for $292,000 more on top of the $535,000 it received last year from the city.

What is really needed, Goodman told city councillors, are two more employees: an economic development officer at $53,663 a year and a

development researcher at $41,111 a year.

Now it’s been a while since I last skipped math class, but somehow I don’t think that adds up to almost 300-grand.

I’m also a little sketchy on what a development researcher is or what they do.

And, please correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t it Goodman’s job to act as the city’s economic development officer? Or does that not fall under his job description and annual $107,000 taxpayer-funded salary?

I’m confused. Council’s confused.

And even Goodman couldn’t quite explain what all the money’s for.

Great, now that we’re all on the same page, let’s try to sort out this mess.

First, the city needs to cut $3.6 million from this year’s budget.

Second, Rivercorp has been sucking money from the city for 12 years and I’m hard pressed to think of a single significant enterprise it has attracted to Campbell River.

Third, do we need Rivercorp?

Why not hire one good economic development officer who can suggest ways to make this city more attractive to current and new business?

I promise you, he or she won’t cost almost $800,000.

And all I ask for this advice is a mere token, let’s say 50 grand, because I know I’m not getting that much from my employer. paulr@campbellrivermirror.com

Council adopts Official Community Plan despite several complaints KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

City council passed the city’s new community plan Tuesday night despite several objections from stakeholders and the community.

The Strathcona Regional District, a First Nation council, and Quinsam Heights residents are among the groups that have criticized the Sustainable Official Community Plan.

“Campbell River’s ‘sustainability’ plan is not sustainable,” said Jim Abram, regional district director for Area C (Quadra).

“In its current form the plan is unacceptable. The plan proposes to locate high-density sub-divisions in Menzies Bay and in Jubilee Heights. These are unsustainable because of the extensive dis-

tances from Campbell River’s centre...this plan would actually increase greenhouse gas emissions.”

Brian Kelly, administrator of the We Wai Kai/Cape Mudge Band Council also took exception to the plan.

“The document seems to provide a great deal of protectionism for the downtown core of the city to the detriment of other areas including First Nations lands,” Kelly said.

The provincial Agricultural Land Commission also expressed concerns.

“As the plan appears to include provisions that run the risk of inconsistency with the Agricultural Land Commission Act, it is important that changes be made to the plan,” said Roger Cheetham, regional planner with the land commission.

But despite the dissatisfaction, council went ahead and adopted the Sustainable Official Community Plan this week. Council had to adopt the plan by Feb. 28 if it wanted to recover $160,000 the city spent on creating the plan.

Coun. Andy Adams said he struggled with the decision because he understood Quinsam Heights residents’ concern with a recommended change in zoning of their properties.

“I like to put it in the context of ‘how would I feel if I was a property owner and for some reason I missed the public open houses or didn’t realize it would affect me’ – I would want to be consulted,” Adams said. “This is a real concern for a lot of people, I really struggle with this. I’m torn on a philosophical

basis but I appreciate the financial situation we’re in.”

Mayor Walter Jakeway admitted he had heard from people concerned with the plan but hadn’t said anything because of the time crunch. Council first received a draft of the 384-page plan on Jan. 10, then had to rush the plan through first and second reading and then a public hearing on Feb. 8.

“I’ve held back,” Jakeway said. “I’ve had complaints but I’ve held back because of time constraints and I know it’s a living document so we can always go back and change it.”

Before adopting the plan, council did make some minor amendments, mostly with wording.

Council took out wording in the plan that weakened protec-

tion of ocean views from residential homes on the ridge above the Island Highway.

“We have a bylaw and it was painful to get to and I think for the most part it satisfies the concerns of people on the ridge and the people behind it,” Adams said.

Coun. Mary Storry agreed and wanted to retain the bylaw as is.

“It was a long process with a lot of public input and it’s a very complicated measurement and I don’t want it to be re-written so that it can be misconstrued again,” she said.

The Sustainable Official Community Plan sets the vision for the community for the next 50 years and includes sustainable principles as well as the Master Transportation Plan, the Agricultural Plan, and the city’s Energy and Emissions Plan.

3X10FORESTRY BC JOBS PLAN:

City may pull out of Communities in Bloom KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

BC JOBS British Columbia has traditionally been synonymous with forestry and today this industry is still one of the cornerstones of our economy, especially in many rural communities which strongly value and support timber harvesting. With over two-thirds (60 million hectares) of the provincial land mass covered in forest we can count on a healthy industry for many more years.

B.C. has more than 110 lumber mills, over 70 with a capacity of more than 40 million board feet per year; 27 veneer, plywood and OSB (oriented strand board) mills, eight pellet mills, 18 pulp mills (six of which are also paper mills) and over 80 other primary processing mills such as chips, shake and shingle, pole, and log manufacturers.

The forestry sector has a deep pool of skilled professionals and a highly trained workforce.

Altogether the industry employs well over 50,000 well paid employees, often the life-blood of small towns. B.C.’s forest sector is definitely starting to recover from the last decade’s downturn. Since 2009, over two dozen mills have announced they are reopening or adding shifts. The importance of this industry to B.C. is demonstrated by the fact that 40% of the province’s regional economies are based on forestry activities, in more than 7,000 businesses.

Western Forest Products include timber harvesting, reforestation, sawmilling logs into lumber and wood chips, and value-added remanufacturing in their product line. The company’s 3,000 employees are an integral part of WFP. They are known for their knowledge of the fibre base, skills in product manufacturing and dedication to customer service as well as their commitment to safety, community and environmental values.

It was good news for Ladysmith when the company reopened the mill. 100% of the product generated will be shipped to China.

One reason for growth in the industry is the Asian market. International buyers know that B.C. is a stable supplier of high-quality wood products; we can provide timber supply security.

This secure supply, coupled with the fact our spruce, pine, fir, hemlock and balsam fibre baskets are among the richest in the world makes B.C. extremely attractive.

The B.C. brand of wood products is well estab-

lished globally with market-leading shares in key countries such as China, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. B.C. is also looking to be the first major country that deals in softwood lumber to establish its products in the India marketplace. Working with the federal government and industry, the Province has strengthened and diversified the B.C. forest sector by increasing market demand for softwood lumber throughout Asia.

The global demand for bio-products from the forest is predicted to reach $200 billion a year. Renewable fuels, plastics, and chemicals for the pharmaceutical and food industries can potentially be manufactured by running wood fibre and residues through bio-refinery.

B.C. has taken steps to make it easier for the non-lumber sector to source supplies of lower quality fibre. This includes fibre supply licences to cut to use logging debris that is left behind on landings and roadsides.

Taking care of this natural abundance is critical. An amazing statistic is the fact B.C. has planted more than six billion trees since reforestation programs began in the 1930’s, and is on track to plant its seven billionth tree in 2013/14. We plant an average of 200 million trees each year. B.C. produces more wood products certified to environmental standards than any other region in the world and has 53 million hectares certified to one of three internationally recognized sustainable forest management certification standards.

Growth now and in the future requires a solid foundation. B.C. created the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations to deal with increasing demands and pressures on the land base by taking a more integrated approach to managing B.C.’s natural resources. BC Hydro launched a two-phase Bioenergy Call for Power.

Phase one has helped advance bioenergy development in Kamloops, Castlegar and Prince George, while phase two has done the same for Chetwynd, Fort St. James, Fraser Lake and Merritt.

B.C. has also passed the Wood First Act to promote and encourage a cultural shift that will make wood the first choice for construction in the commercial and institutional sectors as well as residential.

The future looks very bright for this most iconic of British Columbia industries.

The Communities in Bloom committee will not compete in this year’s inter national competition if the city cuts its parks staff.

Despite the success of the program – the city

won the national competition in the 20,001-50,000 population category last year – Communities in Bloom puts a strain on the city’s budget. The committee is looking for $26,000 from the city to compete but council is considering not funding the program to help

chip away at a $3.6 million 2012 budget deficit.

The city is also contemplating cutting horticulture by 50 per cent; eliminating grass trimming and manual mowing in parks; and cutting one park specialist position.

Nigel Lambeth, chair of the Communities in Bloom Committee, said if council does eliminate its parks staff, it would be hard for the city to recover.

“These cuts are, at best “band-aid solutions”,” Lambeth said “I beg to ask the question what happens to these under-maintained public areas next year after one year of neglect.”

Lambeth said if it comes down to one or the other, he would rather the city use the money from the Communities in Bloom budget to keep up maintenance levels in city parks and public spaces.

“If council chooses to cut the parks staffing levels, we as a committee will choose not to compete in Communi-

ties in Bloom at the international level in 2012,” Lambeth said.

If the city does not compete, it can be nonevaluated for two years while keeping its ranking and eligibility to compete, as long as the city competes in the third year.

“We would use that option but would still ask to remain a city committee and request a budget of $2,000,” Lambeth said. “This would allow us to continue with both residential and business recognition.”

Lambeth stressed it would not be the committee’s first choice to not compete.

“In these times when the city is trying to attract new people and business to Campbell River, Communities in Bloom helps to present our city in the best way possible,” Lambeth said. “Many people have worked very hard to keep our city looking how it is and we feel it is imperative to not move backwards.”

Charges laid over marine mammal deaths Grieg Seafood is facing nine charges PAUL RUDAN

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A Campbell Riverbased fish farm company is facing nine charges in regard to the drowning deaths of 52 sea lions and one

Two flee crash Police were called to a single vehicle accident on

seal.

Grieg Seafood B.C. claims the drownings – at three different farm sites between July 2009 and October 2010 – were accidental and none have occurred since at their 21 fish farms.

“We were very surprised to learn that the DFO (Fisheries and Oceans Canada) have filed charges against us for incidents that we ourselves reported

back in 2010,” said Stewart Hawthor n, G r i e g ’s m a n a g i n g director, in a news release. “We believe the charges are unfair and unfounded.”

The charges refer to the drowning of 52 California sea lions and one harbour seal at Grieg farms located in Nootka Sound, on the west coast of Vancouver Island.

The incidents occurred at Concep-

tion Point, Atrveida Point and Williamson Passage.

All the deaths were reported to DFO by Grieg Seafood.

“We were very saddened by these accidental drownings,” said Hawthorn.

“As soon as the first incidents were discovered we began implementing and optimizing various innovative marine mammal management initiatives to

prevent further occurrences.

“There have been no accidental drownings at any of our farms since mid-2010. We are very proud of that record and believe it shows our commitment to farming responsibly.”

The company has yet to enter pleas to the charges and are due to appear in Gold River provincial court on May 4.

Saturday at 2:50 a.m. The accident occurred in the 1400 block of Galerno Rd., when a 1998

GMC pickup crashed into a hedge.

Two males were seen running on foot and that led to an

arrest of a 17-yearold at a nearby residence.

No one was hurt in the accident

and a charge of failing to remain at the scene is being recommended to Crown counsel.

Many people consider probate as anPLANNING unnecessary PLANNING complication or a nuisance.

A common comment from Gurdeep Sidhu LIFE clients is that FOR the probate FOR LIFE has held up their inheritance for a long-time.

Probate is the legal process that ensures that the deceased person’s estate is distributed to the rightful bene¿ciaries under a valid Will.

Through Probate the court certi¿es the Will that third parties can rely upon. Without Probate the banks, insurance companies, and Land Titles Of¿ce can’t be sure about the validity of the Will.

A man jailed for possessing a stolen truck wants to turn his life around so he can get his three children out of foster care.

“I’m very sorry for what I’ve done…I realize I made a big mistake,” said Richard Humphries from a jail cell in Victoria.

Humphries, 36, appeared by video on Monday in Campbell River provincial court.

After pleading guilty to a single count of possessing stolen property under $5,000, the remaining four charges were stayed by the Crown.

According to prosecutor David Fitzsimmons, on Feb. 8, Humphries

No one likes to wait for money and deal with procedural delays. But consider this: An individual makes a Will giving a major portion of his/her estate to one child (Child A); at a later date revoked the Will to give his/her estate to all children equally; if child A takes the ¿rst Will to the bank and gets paid then the rightful bene¿ciaries will be left out. A legal action against the bank claiming that the bank paid based on an invalid Will certainly will cause more delays, family dispute, and legal fees than ¿ling the necessary probate documents for court’s review.

Trying to beat the probate fees should be at the bottom of your list. Your focus should be preplanning. There are other steps that you need to take to save your estate money and avoid delays. In Campbell River, there is a group of professionals that provides free seminars to educate the public about “planning for life changes”.

ics as they free fall, lock talons and serenade each other high atop the trees.

This is not such a happy time for the juvenile birds that must now fend for themselves and this often leads to interspecies fighting or sees them becoming scavengers as they hunt for an easy food source.

One of our patients admitted on New Year’s Eve has quite a story to tell, and one that is becom-

ing all too familiar this winter. “Semi” a three year old juvenile was feeding on a deer carcass along the inland highway near Horne Lake when she flew up into the path of an oncoming truck travelling at the speed limit. Due to her huge wingspan and the height of the semi truck she was unable to gain enough elevation and she became “spread eagled” on the windshield.

Congratulations 3X7

Fortunately, the occupants of the truck were uninjured but the eagle did not fare so well and has had a “long haul” back to recovery. Other than multiple bruising, amazingly, her only other injury was a small fractured bone where the spine meets the pelvis. Obviously, she was in acute pain as I attended the initial vet visit which was conducted by Dr. Tammi Whelan of Sunrise Veterinary. It took three of us to hold her for the examination.

Semi’s rehabilitation has been slow but remarkable, she had to be tube fed for several days starting with rehydrating fluids

and then enriched pureed chicken, she was then force fed whole food and finally she was able to eat on her own. She graduated from a nest of soft bedding as she would not stand and now six weeks later she is standing, flying and interacting in a flight pen with three other eagles.

This winter we seem to have rescued so many eagles that have been hit by vehicles on the road as they dine on road kill.

Often they are hidden in the center median or in the ditches along the roadside. Please drive with extra care if you see an eagle or other wildlife Continued on A16

Star Wars geek brings iconic trilogy to stage

Charles Ross’ One Man Star Wars Trilogy plays at the Tidemark Theatre tonight at 7:30.

When people hear about Charles Ross and his One Man Star Wars Trilogy, they often leap enthusiastically to the same conclusion.

Surely he’s some sort of stereotypical ubernerd who decided to take his obsession on the road. Even “Star Wars geeks,” who might embrace him as one of their own, sometimes wonder whether he’s taking his love of the trilogy too far.

But that assumption – that Ross is a gangly, awkward geek who took a party trick on tour – couldn’t be more wrong. He’s a geek, but he’s also an actor. He has a Bachelor of Fine Arts in performance,

and putting the show together required the same sort of writing, direction and rehearsal that all stage plays do.

Ross is certainly a Star Wars fan. He grew to love the films, particularly A New Hope, as a child.”

Ross’ desire to make a living in the world of theater led him to study performance at the University of Victoria. Although he didn’t write the One Man Star Wars Trilogy until much later, the idea for the show began to form while he was still in college. Conversations and games with fellow student T.J. Dawe eventually grew into the inspiration for the

show. While talking about condensing plays down to three minutes, a common task in theater school auditions, the two talked about abridging Star Wars.

The result is a fastpaced, 58-minute “longform impression” of Star Wars, The Empire S t r i ke s B a ck a n d Return of the Jedi.

Dressed all in black and wearing knee and elbow pads, Ross is on the move from the beginning of the show to the end. He pauses for only a few seconds between each of the three films to get a sip of water. He imitates all of the characters, the score and even the opening crawl of yel-

low text using facial expressions, vocal impersonations, gestures and movements.

It’s strenuous – Ross runs, jumps, leaps and rolls from beginning to end.

Don’ t miss your chance to see the One Man Star Wars at the Tidemark T heatre tonight at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets are $25 Adults, $20 Theatre Members, $15 Students, & $5 eyeGO tickets (Grade 9 – 12 students), and are available at the Tidemark Ticket Centre from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tue.-Sat. or Charge-byPhone at 287-7465 or 1-800-994-0555. Tickets or online at www.tidemarktheatre.com

Drive Smart BC Seeing Into Our 2X14 2X14 Future Evolution has shaped us to process visual information perceived at a walking speed of 5 or 6 km/h. This means that looking ahead for 3 to 6 seconds of travel time is plenty to keep from running into objects in our path.

However, this natural tendency is insufficient for reliable driving decisions and collision TYEE avoidance.

TYEE Rather than 3 to 6 seconds, an eye lead time CHEV of at least 15 seconds is more appropriate CHEV when driving. Eye lead time means looking at the space that your vehicle will occupy 15 seconds or more into the future. This will give you the time that you need to see what is happening on the highway, decide what you need to do and react to hazards to maximize your safety and the safety of others around your vehicle.

Failing to allow sufficient eye lead time often results in making last second lane changes and braking more often than would otherwise be necessary. Tailgating is another outcome of this tendency. We will focus most on the nearest vehicles and will be prevented from seeing into our future.

So, set your sights high and recognize potential road hazards in plenty of time to plan and evade smoothly. Pacing yourself in this manner maintains a more constant speed that saves fuel, wear and tear on your vehicle and often travel time. Other drivers well ahead will telegraph problems by movement or use of brake lights. Think of this as your own early warning system!

Peewee A Tyees move on to Tier 2 Island finals The KLP Construction Peewee A Tyees played the Saanich Braves in a singlegame semi-final match in Tier 2 playof fs on Saturday at Rod Brind’Amour arena.

Both teams started somewhat tentative which can be expected given that the winner moved on to the bestof-three final series.

Unfortunately the Tyees lost Liam Rivett early in the game due to penalty and Saanich opened the scoring on the ensuing power play. That spurred on the Tyees, especially goalie Ethan Ouellette. The Braves tried to throw everything on the net, almost as if they were covering up for the loss of their number one goalie due to concussion a couple of weeks ago, but Ouellette shut the door on them and kept it a one goal game.

But by the time the first period ended it was the Tyees up 4-1.

The second period began similar to the first with a few rushes broken up and turned aside by strong defensive plays by Olivia Knowles, Mitchell Rogers and others.

On a counterattack, Doug Campbell saw the defenders backing

up and splitting apart.

He took the free space offered and brought the puck to the high slot before wiring a wrist shot in the top corner of the net for the Tyees fifth goal.

Teams traded chances and power-plays. Ouellette frustrated Saanich by making key saves and good work on the penalty kill helped tremendously. Late in the second, the Tyees went on another power-play.

Damien Rennie fed the puck to Jacob Hartley and he got it to Lund in a prime shooting position. Lund scored his second goal to make the score 6-1 at the end of the second.

The Braves pulled out all stops in this must-win game and that made them vulnerable to the counterattack. Frank made another perfect stretch pass to Ben Regier that he brought down perfectly from two feet above the ice.

T his rattled the B r ave s a n d t h e y ended up in the sin bin again. Face-off in Braves zone, Campbell wins it to Dickson who feeds it back to Frank as McLean heads to the front of the net for the screen.

Frank fires the rocket on net. The goalie was

falling down into his butterfly as the puck was already coming out from behind him as Frank put the Tyees ahead 7-1. The Braves were able to score the last goal with about twenty seconds left to make the final 7-2 for the Tyees. Given the strong play of goalies Nic Ordano and Ouellette, the Tyees are in the fortunate situation of having two number one goalies in their lineup.

The Tyees now face the Division 1 regular season winners, Juan de Fuca Grizzlies in the Tier 2 finals. Game 1 of the best-of-three series starts at 2:15 p.m. Sat Feb 15 at Rod Brind’Amour arena.

This will be a very difficult challenge for the KLP Construction Peewee A Tyees as the Grizzlies were undefeated in 12 regular season Division 1 games. The Grizzlies bring a fast-paced, hard-hitting approach to their games and try to intimidate opponents early with their attack.

The Tyees haven’t always played their best game against JDF but they are starting to really jell together at the right time in these playoffs.

As Patrick Connor secures his opponent Don Whitefield signals four point to scorekeeper, Tyler Ferguson.

Parent and Coach Steve Hessein looks on.

Fearless Jiu-Jitsu on the mats in Campbell River’s first tournament Campbell River’s first junior Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournament was held this weekend at Pure Martial Arts and Fitness.

Competitors ages 5-13 from Campbell River and Nanaimo took their Jiu-Jitsu game to the mats.

“It was amazing to watch,” said Heather Todd co-owner and parent. “It was fearless Jiu-Jitsu.” Fearless it was; big take-downs, pins, escapes, joint-locks, and chokes were just some of the techniques that were seen at Saturday’s tournament. The competition was a dynamic look into the

sport of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a submission grappling or ground sport. It has enjoyed a surge of popularity over the last twelve years as it has become a key component to a winning strategy in mixed martial arts competitions like the UFC. Jodey Ingalls, Head Instructor of Pure Martial Arts said, “We have been teaching no-gi Jiu-Jitsu to the children for 16 years now [a gi is a martial arts uniform]. We introduced Gi Jiu-Jitsu just this September and it’s been a huge success.

The kids love the class - it’s a

great way for children to get out and have some fun while learning a fantastic martial art and a self defence system.”

Jiu-Jitsu is for anyone of any size or any age. It founded on the premise that a smaller, weaker opponent can beat a larger stronger assailant by using leverage and good technique.

First place medal winners at the Pure Martial Arts Young Dragon’s Tournament were Shelbey Ingalls of Campbell River, Samadhi Sukadana of Nanaimo and Chris Gray of Campbell River

Campbell River Living Raising Quality awareness for abilities The Campbell River and District Association for Community Living’s employment program has been assisting people with developmental disabilities, find meaningful employment for over 23 years. During that time the organization has connected numerous businesses in the community with reliable, committed employees. The Campbell River Mirror is pleased to be able to present the first in a series of articles profiling local businesses that have brought meaningful employment to people with developmental disabilities.

A friend indeed Evyn Parnell is visiting with a SPCA friend after delivering a cheque for $200 to the SPCA’s Campbell River branch. Parnell was a volunteer at the 6th Annual Foster Kids Christmas Shopping Day held last December. Each year, local foster families donate funds and children and youth in foster care select the SPCA to receive their financial gift.

O

ne innovative business that understands there is a natural fit for everyone in a diverse community is Quality Foods.

In 1998, 23-year-old Paul Aubuchon began work as a customer service clerk at the IGA store in Merecroft Village. When Vancouver Island owned and operated Quality foods acquired the store in 2004, he continued working with the grocery store. To this date, he has contributed over 14 years of dedicated service to his employer.

Quality Foods manager Cyriel DeBruyne said, “We never second guessed leaving Paul on. It was a good move for the company and it was a good move for the employees.”

He praises Paul’s longterm commitment by stating, “His responsibility has more than doubled since he started with us and I can truthfully say, he’s rarely been sick and has never asked to go home. He’s approximately 1 out of 3 employees, I can say that about.”

As a matter of fact, studies show 86 per cent of people with disabilities rated average or better on attendance than their nondisabled colleagues.

The romantic bride If you plan to exchange wedding vows with your beloved in 2012, you’ll want to stay on top of the latest bridal trends.

The big designers worked feverishly all fall in order to present their most recent and beautiful collections in time for wedding season.

Months have passed since the royal wedding, but the Kate Middleton effect is still echoing in wedding dress boutiques. Dressed in her sumptuous gown, the Duchess of Cambridge launched the romantic trend that is all the rage at the moment.

Fit for a princess, romantic style dresses are recognized by their fitted bodices and magnificent skirts, full of volume and texture. To create the balloon effect of a Cinderella-style crinoline, tulle is still the material of choice for designers. The layering of different textured fabrics, shimmering against matte, increases the depth of the

Wedding bands are all about love and personality

skirt, resulting in a supremely opulent look. A veil to cover the entire face or adorn the hair finishes the princess-bride effect.

Much more than just an ordinary ring, a wedding band is the concrete sign of your marital status. It is also a symbol of the romantic union between you and your soul mate. Not long ago, a future bride and groom would have chosen a simple ring to mark this new stage in their lives. Today, wedding bands are made in the image of the couple and of their era, coming in original shapes and colours.

In bridal collections as elsewhere, lace is becoming popular again, often appearing in a trim applied to the hem of the gown. The antique effect of a flounced dress is accentuated by opting for a colour such as eggshell or ivory, although these shades only suit certain complexions. Be sure to try on several dresses in varying tones of white in order to find the best colour for you.

A wedding band should reflect your personality, since it will likely stay on your ring finger for the rest of your life. Choosing the right one can present quite a challenge and is a good reason why current fashion or impulse should never rule over personal preference.

Wedding bands are now available in yellow, white, or pink gold. There are no longer any set rules for these rings, and more and more bands are set with precious stones. Future brides used to avoid sapphires, rubies, and emeralds but these stones are now very much appreciated by those who like the idea of a colour to match their personality.

Just remember that overly large stones should be avoided; a wedding band should always be elegant and fairly discreet.

The balloon skirt, so characteristic of the romantic style, confers a princess look to any bride.

L

ingerie for Your Special Day and Everyday!

Rubies are particularly popular with couples. These precious stones are much rarer than diamonds and symbolize love, warmth, and vitality. The sparkle of the fiery colour also symbolizes the beating of the human heart. Diamonds and rubies mounted together on a wedding ring represent the perfect mix of fire and ice.

Trends for the groom: tone-on-tone On the wedding day, it may be true that all eyes are on the bride, but a well-dressed groom will still be appreciated. He is one of the main stars of this celebration, after all!

on-tone tie that matches the colour of the shirt; it is a very attractive look, especially if both are pale in colour.

Pale tone-on-tone will brighten up the complexion and highlight the smile.

The perfect gift for the couple Choosing a wedding gift is not always an easy task. You might not know the couple well, which means you don’t really know their tastes or style, and you might not be sure how much money to spend.

A reasonable solution is to offer a gift certificate from a department or specialty store, or even cash. This kind of gift allows the couple to choose exactly what they need. Alternatively, you could offer them an item from a bridal registry at a department store. You can ask the bride or groom where they’re registered or ask at a store if the couple has set one up.

A classy and unique suit is on the agenda; after those criteria, the groom should choose a suit he feels comfortable in, one that corresponds to his personal style and that is tailored to his body shape. For an impeccably fitted suit, the groom should have a last fitting at the tailor’s, two or three weeks before the wedding.

If you’re close to the bride or groom, you might consider a more intimate gift. A pair of him-and-her spa passes makes a nice outing for the couple as wedding prep stress begins to build, or you could offer a gift certificate for an evening out at a chic restaurant for when they return from their honeymoon.

The fabric of the groom’s suit should be chosen according to the season and its overall style should match the tone of the wedding; a suit is perfect for an afternoon wedding, while a tuxedo is required for an evening event. When choosing a suit, think of it as an investment; it should signal sophistication and elegance rather than office-job functionality.

Wedding guests often wonder how much they should spend on a gift. If your budget is limited, there are many ways to be generous without breaking the bank. You It’s hard to go wrong with a gift of cash; the bride and groom will be able to could offer a shared gift along with some friends, which would allow you to offer a buy exactly what they need. single large item that none could afford alone. You could make a gift of your time and help with the wedding preparations, or compose a song dedicated to the new couple. Or, you could offer a symbolic gift, such as a tree that they can plant and watch grow over the years.

Once a suit has been chosen, the next secret to a refined look lies in the tie. A contemporary finish requires a tone-

Whatever the gift, be sure to include a card with your name and return address; that makes things easier for the couple when the time comes to send out thank-you notes.

Dressed to the hilt in all his finery, the groom will shine on his big day.

Most popular months for weddings Every year millions of people walk down the aisle and begin the start of their new lives together as couples. December is one of the more popular months in which to get engaged, but other months of the year are more popular for weddings.

The decision on when to get married depends on a host of factors.

Some couples choose the date based on availability with a church or reception hall, while others might prefer to walk down the aisle during a specific season. Some couples choose to coordinate their wedding with a special event, such as a birthday or another day of note.

Most couples decide on a wedding month primarily for the weather.

That’s why the spring and summer are the most popular times of the year in which to tie the knot. Here is a list of the most popular months to tie the knot.

Less popular months for weddings may be easier to book in terms of availability, and certain vendors may discount items because of a slower season. Having a wedding during this time can be advantageous if money is tight.

Wedding reception meal choices A wedding reception is often a feast for guests. Be it a buffet-style cocktail hour or a three-course dinner, the food and fun seem to flow all night long. Some catering halls require notice of what guests will be eating prior to the wedding day so that food can be ordered and arranged. Others have a few set options that guests can choose from the night of the party.

Couples fretting over how to keep tally of guests’ menu selections may want to add a dinner choice line to their wedding reception response card. Although some etiquette experts frown at this approach, it is one of the easiest ways to count selections and report back to a catering hall. Chances are some guests have already seen this type of checklist on a response card, so there’s no need to add instructions.

Due to the varied palates of people, it pays to have two or more options from which guests can choose. Generally a beef dish, a poultry choice and a fish selection are offered. Inquire with the catering director as how to best handle special dietary restrictions, such as serving a vegetarian or someone who is diabetic or is limiting salt intake. There may be accommodations made for guests with certain needs.

Radiant makeup for your special day

Wedding processional alternatives

If wedding bells will soon be ringing for you and your beloved, here are a few practical makeup tips to help you look radiant on your big day.

it a better finish. Choose a good quality foundation that is not orangey and that blends perfectly with the colour of your skin.

If you have the means, entrust your makeup to a make-up artist that you know and trust. If you don’t know one, ask around for recommendations. Make an appointment several weeks before the wedding for a trial makeup session. You will be able to try a couple of looks, such as natural, glamorous, or dramatic, and the make-up artist will better know which kinds of products will suit you best on the big day.

Opt for waterproof mascara. It will be useful if your dad’s speech brings tears to your eyes! And for a seductive pout that lasts all evening, choose a long-lasting lipstick and touch it up throughout the day with a quick swipe of lip gloss.

If you’re good at doing your own makeup and prefer to do it yourself, don’t forget that you should still do a practice run before the big event. Keep in mind that your makeup for the wedding day is likely going to be different from what you wear to the office. Above all, you’ll want to make sure you choose products that will help you look fresh all day long.

A final touch: a few sprays of makeup fixative to keep you from looking wilted and smudged as you meet and greet all day. The setting spray holds foundation and eye makeup in place while erasing any powdery effect.

Not every bride-to-be has visions of walking down the aisle to Wagner’s “Bridal Chorus.” Some prefer other songs that are romantic or dramatic. There may be a particular song dear to a bride’s heart or one she just fell in love with.

For those looking for something that more accurately reflects the tone of individual weddings, here are some selections that can make the wedding even more special.

Traditional Here are some other contemporary songs that can 1. “Air” (Handel) be used with lyrics or in instrumental versions as 2. “Canon in D” (Pachelbel) wedding processionals or first dances.

3. “Procession of Joy” (Hopson) 1. “Take Me As I Am” 4. “Te Deum” (Charpentier) (Love Theme from “Jekyll & Hyde”) 5. “Wedding March” (Mozart) 2. “Marry Me” (Train) 3. “Just the Way You Are (Bruno Mars) 6. “Canzon V” (Gabrieli) 4. “That’s All I Ask of You” 7. “Romeo & Juliet Love Theme” (Tchaikovsky) (Love Theme from “Phantom of the Opera”) 8. “Winter” (Vivaldi) 5. “The Wind Beneath My Wings” (Bette Midler) 6. “Con Te Partiro” (Andrea Bocelli) Contemporary 7. “My Heart Will Go On” 1. “Sunrise, Sunset” (Hamick & Bock) (Love Theme from “Titanic”) 2. “The Look of Love” (Burt Bacharach) 8. “You Raise Me Up” (Josh Groban) 3. “The Vow” (Lubbock) 4. “Wedding Processional” (Rodgers & Hammerstein)

Almost as long as there have been bridal gowns, white or ivory have been the colors of choice for first-time brides. These light hues represent the purity and innocence of the bride.

Although a few brides-to-be choose to forego wedding white for something a bit more flashy — like pink or yellow gowns — a popular trend today is to wear gowns with accents of black or other deep colors to add dimension to the white canvas.

Consider black stitching in the appliques of a gown for some drama. Many gowns come with colorful accents or they can be added later by a talented seamstress.

Considering the groom and groomsmen will be dressed in black tuxedos, black accents on a wedding gown have been growing in popularity and add a formal, regal look to a wedding. Darker color embellishments can add drama to a gown. Another advantage is they can call out pattern or adornments not easily seen on a white-on-white gown. Furthermore, deep colors against the white backdrop of the gown show well in photography, particularly the black-and-white journalistic style that is very trendy as well.

Women shopping for bridal gowns who are considering colored accents should be careful that these embellishments are subtle and do not overwhelm the gown — or the person who will be wearing it! Popular enhancements include appliques on the bodice or the train of the gown. Another idea is to select a white gown and then tie a black bow or sash around the waist or put a lace shrug over bare shoulders. Black-and-white lace gloves are also an option for those who want to add just a little splash of dimension.

Look simply radiant for your wedding day.

Schedule a free makeover. Invite your bridesmaids. Your mom. I can even help with great gifts for your wedding party.

The same concept can be applied to any accent color. Burgundy or plum colors also work well to add the contrast of dark against light and aren’t as extreme as black. Some brides can also opt for a paler, more pastel shade to serve as an accompaniment to the white gown. Many times the accent colors chosen are replicated in the hue of the bridesmaids’ gowns, so the entire wedding party looks cohesive.

Call me today.

Because the spectacle will be the beauty of the gown, it’s best to carry a neutralcolored bouquet in a small size. Or, a black-and-white gown can be accented with a small nosegay of red flowers or roses.

Masonry de¿es time

Masonry siding is available in a wide range of colours, textures, shapes, and sizes. Stone and brick are synonymous with beauty and elegance, with the added bonus of quality and durability.

Masonry products are notable for their long life spans. They give a feeling of strength and safety to homeowners, while ensuring exceptional comfort.

These products also offer excellent soundproofing, remarkable resistance to any kind of impact and corrosion, as well as incomparable protection against mould. Because they are fireproof, masonry products give a high level of protection in case of fire. They also need very little maintenance.

Unaffected by climatic changes, periods of thaw and frost, snow, extreme winds, or torrential rains, masonry siding is resistant to the most violent weather Mother Nature can produce. A home with masonry siding has better thermal insulation, resulting in more comfort for occupants. Best of all, it keeps the home cooler in the summer and warmer during the winter, which means lower energy bills for both heating and air conditioning. Stone and brick are eco-friendly natural products, and they are durable and reusable as well.

Although the initial cost of the materials and installation by specialists might seem high, masonry products help to increase the resale value of a home. Before opting for brick or stone siding, ensure that the building’s foundations are capable of supporting their weight and that the investment can be recouped when selling the home.

THE CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 2012

The dream closet If your kid has Àown the coop for good — a sure sign is when he or she starts a family of their own — you might decide it’s time to take advantage of their now rather empty bedroom. Before it gets taken over with spare-room stuff that is seldom used, why not give it a whole new vocation: a dressing room closet, the biggest trend in home renovations at the moment.

Planning is an important ¿rst step towards a successful dressing room, which is a large walk-in closet with room for dressers and a seating area. You will never again have to turn your drawers upside down in search of long-forgotten items of clothing. You will have all the room you could possibly want or need!

First of all, take stock of your wardrobe in order to identify the specially designed areas you will need. If you only have three pairs of pants but dozens of dresses and blouses, you won’t need the same number of shelves as a person who wears sweaters and jeans all the time. Be sure to consider all your shoes, hats,

ARLEEN

scarves, and belts; it is important to make accessible storage space for all of them.

There are storage arrangements for everything imaginable: shelves, adjustable hanger poles, hooks for handbags, racks, shoe compartments, underwear drawers, and more. Large mirrors and bright lights for seeing everything on your shelves are also great ideas. You might want to consider a central island containing drawers for jewellery and accessories while giving you a surface for sorting and folding clothes. To top it all off, an attractive chair and side table are luxurious additions that will allow you to contemplate your wardrobe options while you sip your morning coffee.

Don’t forget that a well-designed dressing room allows for easy circulation and enough space to step back from the mirror and see your reÀection from every angle.

By converting a spare room into a dressing room, you can enjoy the luxury of keeping all your clothes, jewellery, and accessories in one place.
