City tells pole peeling plant to cut the noise

KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The owner of the pole peeling plant on Duncan Bay road has been ordered to implement noise reduction measures identified in a sound consultants report. “Our office has spoken to the plant owner (Northern Pressure Treated Wood Ltd.) by telephone and we will send a letter outlining council’s request,” said city clerk Peter Wipper. “The city is awaiting a response from the plant owner, which will determine timelines for action.” The sound consultant’s recommendations include reducing the area of the log in-feed and outfeed openings in the debarker; enclosing log in-feed and out-feed openings with insulated tunnels; and installing a series of flexible vinyl curtains along the tunnels. Mike McCollough, president of Northern Pressure Treated Wood, hinted earlier in the week that his company has already done enough and has no intentions of implementing any of the recommendations in BKL Consultants’ report. “We trust that...the City of Campbell River will agree that the financial burden already imposed by the City of Campbell, by asking for a noise level report, is sufficient,” McCollough said.
“If further measures to abate the noise levels are requested by the City of Campbell River it will definitely scare all existing businesses already operating in the City of Campbell River and it will chase away any potential investors looking to set up in the region.” Connie Cawley, who lives across the street from the pole peeler plant, said the message is coming through loud and clear. “It’s pretty clear the guy who owns the pole plant is not going to do anything about it,” Cawley said. “It sounds like that’s his final say. He basically said he’s not doing anything else. This is like a horse and pony show. Continued on A4

Don’t worry Fido, you won’t have to wear that placard forever as teachers, and a few pet dogs, rallied Wednesday in downtown Campbell River.
ment is expected to pass sometime next week. The bill will force teachers back to work, extends the current contract, and imposes a cooling off period until August 31. During that time, teachers are not allowed to strike and the government will impose a mediator to work through contract negotiations between the B.C. Teachers Federation, the provincial government, and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association. The legislation also includes changes to class sizes and compositions, teacher bargaining rights, and special-needs funding. Education Minister George Abbott, who said the teachers’ three-day strike has saved the government $11 million a day, invited Susan Lambert, president of the B.C. Teachers Federation, to speak with
Lace up for someone you love
him about teachers’ concerns over Bill 22 on Wednesday. Adrian Dix, leader of the NDP and Official Opposition, said his party will fight the legislation. North Island NDP MLA Claire Trevena said the bill allows an indefinite number of special needs students in one classroom without an adequate number of supports. “Bill 22 is a heavy handed piece of legislation,� T revena said. “It will result in increasing class size, weakens protection for special needs students, and undermines free collective bargaining. What concerns me is that it is yet another attempt by the BC Liberals to play politics with the classroom.� Thompson said the strike is about defending teachers’ democratic rights and protecting the free collective bargaining process.
“I know students, teachers and parents would rather (the teachers) be in their classrooms doing what we love to do but we’ve all had to make sacrifices,� Thompson told the crowd gathered at Spirit Square. “Sacrifices to defend our democratic rights, to defend the parents and children of Campbell River and B.C. That’s why we’re here.� On Tuesday, nearly 10,000 teachers and other union members, including Canadian Union of Public Employees and the B.C. Government Employees Union, descended on the Legislature in Victoria for a rally. Thompson said 40 Campbell River teachers joined that rally. Jim Hesketh, of the teachers’ association, said more than 400 teachers and CUPE members took part in the walk which began at Carihi and went along Dogwood Street.

Kill Bill 22. That was the rallying cry of 275 Campbell River teachers during a protest Wednesday afternoon. Teachers marched around downtown cfor about 15 minutes, starting at Robert Ostler Park and finishing up at Spirit Square where they crowded in to listen to speeches from the union executive. “Kill Bill 22!� chanted Jerry Horton, local representative of the Campbell River and District Teachers’ Association. “The message is getting through. We are making a difference – don’t get discouraged.� From Spirit Square, the g roup trudged along Shoppers Row to Discovery Pier where teachers stood. Neil Thompson, the president of the teachers association, said he was amazed by the turnout. “It’s absolutely fantastic. This is what we needed,� Thompson said. “It was hard for teachers to be visible when they were isolated at their schools. It’s good to bring everyone together.� Since walking off the job Monday, teachers worked “stick-it� lines in front of local schools, carrying signs and handing out informational leaflets to the public. They were back at work on Thursday. Teachers are fighting Bill 22, legislation the provincial govern-

On Sunday, most
communities in B.C. will switch to Daylight Saving Time. That means some pretty drowsy drivers behind the wheel going to and from work the following
Monday, according to BCAA. Driver fatigue is a dangerous condition where the symptoms of sleepiness can severely impair driving
performance. Studies show that our circadian rhythms or body clocks, don’t adjust to time changes naturally. A tired driver is a dangerous driver.

mendations. “I expected to get some answers,� Cawley said just after the meeting wrapped up. “It just didn’t happen. It was a waste of our time.� Corinne Matheson said the neighbours had hoped to get some answers to determine their next move. “It seems this has turned into a political matter, where it takes weeks and weeks to get any answers,� Matheson said. “In the meantime, we all have to suffer listening to that noise all day. I’m sure if this noise was heard by everyone in Campbell River and at City Hall, something would be done a lot sooner.�
Neighbours describe the noise from the pole peeler as a high pitch screech. The plant has been in operation since Jan. 23 and since that time, City Hall has been inundated with nearly 45 noise complaints. The pole plant is operating Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m.-4 p.m. on a 22.5 acre lot zoned heavy industrial but is near residential homes. Homeowners near the plant, including in the Blue Spruce Home Park, are planning a neighbourhood public meeting for next Tuesday. Options such as suing the city for loss of property value are up for discussion.

City cuts down on staff BlackBerry cell phones KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
The city has reduced the number of staff BlackBerry cell phones in an effort to cut costs. At the same time, council is working on a new mobile services contract for the city’s BlackBerrys, standard cell phones, wireless USB devices, and iPads that would save the city several thousand dollars. Before awarding the contract, Coun. Larry Samson wanted to know whether a reduction in cell phones would lower the cost of proposals from Bell, Telus and Rogers. “If we were to reduce the BlackBerrys would we see a correlating drop in the amount?” Samson asked during Tuesday’s council meeting. Warren Kalyn, the city’s information ser-
NATURAL GAS FIREPLACES 1X2
JUST GAS 2
vices manager, said the city had already cut down on cell phones. “There’s already been a reduction in the number,” Kalyn said. “Initially we had 119 but the BlackBerrys have been reduced by 20 so we have approximately 99 BlackBerrys in total.” This is the second time the city has reduced its number of cell phones. In November 2011 phones were eliminated for an annual savings of $5,000 after a review into the city’s usage and number of devices. The new wireless services contract is expected to increase savings further. The city projects it will reduce costs by nearly 30 per cent over the current contract, or $70,000 over three years. “Through the competitive process, staff
has been able to significantly reduce expenses while increasing services and streamlining efficiencies,” said Clinton Crook, senior buyer for the city, in a report to council. Though Telus had the lowest monthly charg es at $4,645 council went with Bell which charges $4,915 per month as it scored the highest in qualifications, presentation, proposal, and budget all combined. Ro g ers’ monthly charges were $4,920. “Bell Mobility received the highest overall score and therefore staff recommend award to Bell Mobility at a cost of $176,940 over the 36-month term,” Crook said. “ T h e i n d iv i d u a l evaluations were calculated and each proponent was given a score, with the highest overall score indicat-
ing the best value for the city.” However, some councillors were uncomfortable awarding the contract without more information. Coun. Ron Kerr said he would like a report on the number of wireless devices the city owns and Samson said he was concerned because the city just finished locking into a five-year garbage and recycling contract. Coun. Marry Storry on the other hand was eager to accept Bell’s proposal. “I’m in a hurry to get a 29 per cent savings,” she said. “I realize there is some flexibility if we reduce the number of BlackBerries in the future.” Council voted to award the contract to Bell with Mayor Walter Jakeway and councillors Kerr and Samson opposed.

Work Safe fines local companies PAUL RUDAN
CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
F ive c o m p a n i e s working in the Campbell River area have been penalized a total of $106,000 for having employees working in unsafe conditions. Wo rk S a f e B . C . handed down 352 penalties across the province, totaling more than $4.8 million, against employers for violations in 2011 of the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation and the Workers Compensation Act. “Monetary penalties are imposed on employers for repeated or serious violations of occupational health and safety re gulations and to motivate to comply with their legal responsibilities,” said Jeff Dolan, director of investigations for Work Safe. “An employer is not penalized if they have taken all reasonable steps to prevent risks to their
workers.” One of the five penalized in Campbell River was a Crown corporation. BC Hydro was fined $75,000 for having workers operating in an unsafe trench. In a summary of the incident, Work Safe said BC Hydro failed to ensure the trench had adequate slopes or supports in place. As well: “Further, as the prime contractor of multipleemployer worksite, the firm failed to do everything reasonably predictable to establish and maintain an effective system for ensuring compliance with health and safety requirements.” The fine is under review at BC Hydro’s request. If that fails, t h e c o m p a ny c a n appeal to the Workers’ Compensation Appeal Tribunal, an independent board. In a press release, Work Safe noted that approximately twothirds of penalties

are not appealed. Of those penalties that are appealed, approximately 90 per cent are upheld. Here is a list of the others in Campbell River who were fined and the status of the penalties: ■ 7-Eleven Canada, $15,000, for numerous health and safety violations. such as not
maintaining employees’ first aid records and not providing emergency washing facilities for anyone coming in contact with a harmful or corrosive material. The fine is under appeal. ■ DER Resorts Ltd., 8,540, an employee sustained serious head injuries when she fell out of the back of a
pickup truck. The fine has not been appealed. ■ Darrell Dean Warner, $5,000, six employees were working on a roof more than 3.5 metres high without having any fall protection. The employer also failed to provide adequate training and supervision. Continued on Page 8

Perhaps, but my bet is that you are just asking for more trouble if you try. It is an offence to simply possess a phony driver’s licence much less attempt to use it. You are in just as much trouble if you possess a real driver’s licence that belongs to another person. You don’t even have to be in a vehicle for this law to apply! Thinking about loaning your licence to someone else? Think again, you will be in trouble too. Are you braver (or more foolhardy) than most and thinking about applying to ICBC for a driver’s licence using false information? Facial recognition software makes this an extremely risky act. Just ask Mark Mahovlich who applied for BCID using his brother’s information. His penalty on conviction for this was a $1,750 fine. Maybe it’s not so bad to just do a bit of surgery and modify the driver’s licence that you already have. People have been doing that to get into the bars when they weren’t old enough forever, right? Well, drive a vehicle and you are guilty of two offences, altering the licence and possessing an altered licence. The author is a retired constable with many years of traffic enforcement experience.

Work Safe: Largest fine in B.C. went to firm doing run-of-the-river power construction Continued from Page 7 Work Safe noted these were repeated violations. The fine was not appealed. ■ Kent Laverdure Plumbing Ltd., $2,841, for an employee working in two high-risk excavations. The fine
was not appealed. The largest fine in B.C., $250,000, was handed to Peter Kiewit Infrastructure for a fatality at the run-ofthe-river hydro-electric operation under construction in the Toba Valley, located on the
Mainland coast, east of Campbell River. On Feb. 22, 2009, Samuel Fitzpatrick, 24, of Squamish was hand drilling a boulder to prepare it for blasting when a rock rolled downhill and killed him. Work Safe said
the company failed to remove loose material before the work began. The fine is under review. Elsewhere on the North Island, Neucel Specialty Cellulose of Port Alice was fined $75,000 after two
employees were dismantling a wall and it collapsed on them.The two suffered minor injuries and Work Safe indicated they may have been exposed to airborne asbestos. The fine was upheld after a review, but there’s
still a chance it may be appealed. In its report, Work Safe noted, “In 2011, Work Safe developed a team of eight prevention officers to focus on continued non-compliance in residential demolition and asbes-
tos abatement. About 15 per cent (54) of the penalties imposed were for asbestos- or hazardous materialsrelated violations — the vast majority of which were for companies doing residential demolition.

No where to run, man caught in bait vehicle PAUL RUDAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
It was Harry Puglas’ first run-in with police, but he was an easy catch. T he 31-year-old Campbell River man was found by Mounties, locked inside a bait vehicle outside JJ’s Pub in the early morning hours of Jan. 6. Puglas, who had no p rev i o u s c r i m i n a l record, had been drinking when he decided to try and steal the pickup truck as well as a cell phone – more bait for thieves – that was left inside the truck. He had also tried to pull off the dashboard, presumably attempting to start the truck.
Bookkeepers join group Canada’s association of professional bookkeepers officially has a presence on the North Island. T h e Va n c o u v e r Island North chapter of the Institute of Professional Bookkeepers of Canada formed in late February, comprised of 13 members in Campbell River and the Comox Valley.

But all efforts failed as the doors automatically locked and the surveillance video started running. Police arrived within minutes, surrounded the vehicle and arrested Puglas. He was later released on bail, but was back behind bars again on Feb. 18, after he was arrested outside the townhouse complex at 300 Robron Rd. Again, Puglas had been drinking and this time he
was banging on doors. On Monday, in Campbell River provincial court, Puglas pleaded guilty to theft, mischief and two counts of failing to abide by a court order. He also pleaded guilty to stealing a case of beer from the Merecroft Liquor Store on Nov. 17, 2011. According to his lawyer, Angie Penhall, Puglas knows he has a problem with alcohol and has taken steps to stay sober. He’s attend-
ing meetings of Alcoholics Anonymous and is willing to take other counselling. Judge Brian Saunderson agreed and ordered Puglas to take counselling as directed by his probation officer. The judge also said jail is appropriate and sentenced Puglas to 20 days, plus one year of probation. Puglas was also ordered to not go to the Merecroft Village Liquor Store.

Our View
Stand back and watch them go Kids these days! What to do with them? Every generation has its gap as older people can never understand the mindset of the current crop of youths. What We say: Kids are we on now after Generation X and Y, is it Z? today seem to Old folks always say, “Back when determined to we were young” we were focused improve the world on cars, the opposite sex, having a good time, rebellion, whatever. Kids today seem so preoccupied with saving the world. We have youngsters like Janine Annett walking
the length of Vancouver Island to raise money and awareness of child poverty. It’s not enough to just feel empathy for the downtrodden, today’s kids have to go out and do something about it. The local highschools not only have an “International Co-op” class to work towards a project in the developing world and then actually go down there and do the work, but they also join together as a mix of students from both highschools. Then there’s those kids that organized the Spread the Net challenge to combat malaria in Africa. And if an international outlook isn’t enough,
local students have to get involved in environmental projects in the Campbell River area. And we know how popular raising money for the SPCA is, particularly with younger kids. And every child on Vancouver Island has done something for or learned something about the plight of the Vancouver Island marmot. Our youths certainly do seem to care about making a difference in this world. And it’s more than just talk. They get out and do it. Yes, kids today. What are we going to do with them? Maybe we should just stand back and get out of their way?
Minister’s irony The Black Press Editorial in the Mirror on Friday, March 2 made some very important points about the introduction of legislation to end the teachers’ Job Action. It is very true that the Liberals are looking for an opportunity in the teachers’ job action to find a “wedge issue”, because of how far they have slumped in the polls. They are using this draconian legislation to demonstrate their disdain for public sector unions in order to try to attract voters back who have moved to the B.C. Conservative party. In an effort to lure back those voters, they are even bragging about how “conservative” their budget is. In the midst of all this politicking, the students and teachers of B.C. are the victims. The editorial also makes reference to the government’s refusal to increase public sector salaries, the so-called Net Zero mandate, in comparison to MLA salaries. The average MLA received a 29 per cent salary increase just a few years ago and continues to get a cost of living adjustment every year. If they really believed in Net Zero, they should be refusing to take an increase in every year that this mandate covers. Education Minister George Abbott says he is “concerned for the vulnerable children who have been negatively impacted by the teachers’ job action.” The irony of that statement is that the impact of this job action is infinitesimal compared to the impact of Bill Continued on A11
Telus should forget about naming rights to BC Place
Paul Rudan No, really
It’s a rare day when someone has the guts to tell a big corporation, “Go stuff it.” I’m sure Pat Bell, B.C.’s Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Innovation, didn’t use those exact words when dealing with Telus, but that’s the gist of his response. Telus, one of Canada’s telecommunications behemoths, was reportedly prepared to fork over $40 million – the equivalent of five monthly residential “bundle” bills – in order to splash its purple-enhanced name across the entrances to BC Place stadium. The problem though, Telus didn’t want anything to do with the name BC Place. I can only imagine what the corporate big-wigs had in store for a new
name: Telus Field, Telus Wireless Park, Telus We’re Great Stadium…? Who really knows? We do know the name, BC Place, will remain in honour of this great province and the taxpayers who really paid for the stadium. I like that, but the B.C. Conservative Party has knots in its panties over the revenue loss. “This political decision has real consequences on taxpayers,” said party leader John Cummins in a news release. “…on the spur of the moment the Liberals backed out and taxpayers are left holding the bag.” So what else is new, John? Taxpayers are ALWAYS left holding the darn bag, but at least this is one we can carry and hold our heads
high too at the same time. BC Place is something we can all take pride in and so did the world when the opening and closing ceremonies were held there for the 2010 Winter Olympics. Really, what’s $40 million pay for these days? Four doctors, three judges and one hot luncheon at yet another teachers’ rally? And really, how long will it take to recoup 40-big-ones from beer-drinking football fans? Two, maybe three games at the most? The way I see it, if Telus has forty million bucks burning a hole in its pocket, they are most welcome to hand it over to the Vancouver Island
Health Authority for naming rights to the new hospital. Telus General Hospital (in Campbell River) has a nice – ha-ha – ring to it. Telus could even take over admissions at a fraction of the cost, provided that you are using an authorized Telus cell phone and don’t mind explaining that hemorrhoid flare-up to someone earning 25 cents an hour at a call centre in India. The possibilities are endless in terms of local naming rights: Telus High School at Carihi, Telus City Hall Council Chambers, Telus Outhouse on the Foreshore. In the words of Nike, just do it! paulr@campbellrivermirror.com

Teachers: No class limits
FOLLOW US ON...
Maybe you could move pole plant to the old Catalyst mill site
Continued from A10 22. Not only does Bill 22 not restore the class size limits and guaranteed support services for students with special needs that the B.C. Supreme Court ruled were illegally legislated away in 2002 (Bills 27 and 28). It goes further in removing minimal class size limits that were later introduced in Bill 33, so now there are no class size or composition limits whatsoever for grades 4-12. (The number 30 is stated but only needs the principal or superintendent to rule that a particular class is “appropriate for student learning”. This rubber stamping of classes going over the limits is done on a regular basis – more than 100,000 oversized classes in the last decade in B.C.). The editorial also mentions that Kevin Falcon will not raise the corporate tax rate until at least 2014. The voters in B.C. need to know that because our B.C. Corporate Tax Rate is the lowest in all G8 countries, we have already been paying more in MSP premiums into the government’s coffers than the corporations pay in taxes. And now we are going to pay another four per cent for MSP, just to help balance the budget. The shamefully high child poverty rate, as well as all the other B.C. ministries in crisis, do not count. We just need to balance that budget! Finally, on a personal note, I have been reading dozens of letters from teachers describing the conditions in their classrooms, and what alarms me is that I know that when they are read in the Legislature this week, the Liberals will sit across the floor listening and they will not care about those kids and those teachers. Every one of them should have to spend a week in a variety of public school classrooms before they pass that horrific legislation that wipes out all provisions for reasonable class size and composition. Maybe then they would understand that balancing the budget should not be done at the expense of the kids and workers in this province! Elaine Thompson Primary Teacher and 1st Vice President of the Campbell River District Teachers’ Association
Re: Letter to Editor - Campbell River pole peeler owner says sound report was a ‘financial burden’ The pole peeler operation is the same old, same old when you mix a residentual community with industrial right next door. Maybe the answer would be to move it to the old Catalyst mill site. The peeler operator should be concerned that he is disrupting peoples lives that were living there before he set up.

Just saying too bad, he is operating in an industrial zone doesn’t cut it. He also has civic responsiblity not to disturb his neighbours. Before allowing such an operation maybe the city should make sure the operation is a passive noise producer before giving them permission to set up next door to residentual neighbourhoods.

A member of the Arum family, and relative of taro, this tropical-looking swamp plant grows quickly, with foliage forming huge fans – the largest leaf of any plant in the Pacific Northwest, easily towering over a small child. First Nations groups roasted and dried the root, which was ground into an edible flour, although the fresh leaves were not eaten. Seeds, resembling corn, were dried and roasted into a ‘popcorn.’ In early April, the next wave of wild blooms to dance across our forest floors will include False Lily of the Valley, Pacific Bleeding Heart and Siberian Miner’slettuce. Spring’s wildflowers envelope us with colour, perfume, mystery and charm, and it’s natural to marvel at how they came to be and to reaffirm our relationship

City faces $3.6 million deficit KRISTEN DOUGLAS
CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
99
The city is forecasting a $3.6 million budget shortfall for 2012, according to preliminary fig-
ures. That’s up substantially from the last estimated budget deficit of $550,000 back in December. The picture looks bleaker now because of a change in the prop-
erty assessment value of the defunct Catalyst mill site. The BC Assessment Authority announced early last month that Catalyst no longer meets the requirements of a major industrial property, and
has been reclassified as business/ other, which means a significant reduction in Catalyst’s property taxes. That decision results in a loss of $1.8 million in tax revenue for

2012. Included in the deficit is a $1.1 million tax shortfall carried over from 2011, plus a $1.3 million increase in costs related to contract commitments and inflationary increases, said Laura Ciarniello, the city’s general manager of corporate services. If the city were to maintain the current level of services it provides to citizens, the tax rate would have to increase by 24 per cent in order to make up the $3.6 million. The loss of $1.8 million from Catalyst alone, equates to a 12 per cent residential tax increase. To put that into perspective, Ciarniello said a one per cent residential tax increase would bring in $150,000 in revenue for the city That one per cent increase would. mean roughly $12 more per year in property taxes for the average homeowner. The city’s operating budget is approximately $37 million which Continued on A3

is the newest online resource available on the provincial Homeowner Protection Office website at www.hpo.bc.ca. It explains how homes covered by home warranty insurance should perform. Every new home built for sale by a licensed residential builder in B.C. is protected by mandatory third-party home warranty insurance. It’s the strongest system of construction defect insurance in Canada. “For most consumers, buying a new home is one of the largest financial investments they will make. So it’s essential that homebuyers can make that investment with confidence, knowing that they will not be faced with additional expenses to repair defects after they move in,” said Tony Gioventu, executive director of the Condominium Home Owners’ Association and an advocate for consumer protection. This simple, practical guide is easy to use. It outlines more than 200 possible defects that are searchable online. This includes the most common defect claims that might be submitted under a home warranty insurance policy – from windows that malfunction, to driveway or interior concrete floors that have cracked, to siding that has buckled. Designed primarily for conventional low-rise, wood-frame homes, the guide also provides some helpful guidelines for the common property of multi-unit buildings. Builders can also use the guide to help ensure that they deliver high performance homes.

Campbell River Living Campbell River student to walk the length of Vancouver Island J
anine Annett has wanted to do something about poverty since she entered elementary school. Next month, she’s going to do something about it. She’s going to walk the length of Vancouver Island to raise money and awareness. “I just think poverty is a huge deal,” said the Grade 9 Campbell River student. “If North Americans stopped buying ice cream, we could stop child poverty. That’s how easy we could stop it.” Annett is going to do more than just stop buying ice cream and donating the money to poverty causes, she’s going to walk from Port Hardy to Victoria April 3 – May 3 to raise awareness
and money for child poverty both locally and globally as well as support youth empowerment. Annett’s walk is called A Walk for a Wish and her goal is to raise $10,000 which is equal to one penny for every step. She’s been aware of poverty issues in the developing world since she visited Uganda in Grade 6. Ever since, the Quadra Island resident has been researching and doing presentations about poverty. On Oct. 13 last fall, she attended We Day in Vancouver (www. weday.com) where she was inspired to do something “crazy and unrealistic,” she said. We Day brings youth together to show them that they are not alone

in their journey to make a difference in their community and around the world.

McConochie, William (Bill) Raymond January 4, 1924 – March 4, 2012
Bill passed away peacefully at Glacier View Lodge with his daughter at his side. He is survived by his wife, Agnes (Nan) McConochie, brother, Robert McConochie (Dianne) of Royston, sisters, Phyllis Ranson of Regina, Saskatchewan and Beryl Johnson of Birtle, Manitoba. He is also survived and dearly loved by his three daughters, Barbara Arseneau of Nanaimo, Betty Armour (Dave) of Courtenay and Lynda O’Connell (Mike) of Idaho, USA. Bill’s step-children, Sharon Hastings (John), John McCabe (Karen) and Kevin McCabe, all of Courtenay will miss him as well. Bill was blessed by many Grand Children and Great Grandchildren as well as nieces and nephews. Bill was predeceased by his parents, William and Effie McConochie, sisters Helen Troop, Laura Lyall and brother Jack. His son William (Bill) also predeceased him. Bill was born in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba and grew up on the family farm. At the age of 18, he joined the Air Force and was stationed in various places, one being CFB Comox. Like so many others, the Comox Valley lured him into making it his home. Bill worked as a faller, garage mechanic and a salesman for Eaton’s. From there he decided to open his own furniture and appliance business, thus McConochie’s Furniture and Appliances was born. Bill sold the business in 1974. Bill and Nan then embarked on a new adventure, travelling and visiting many countries, both in their motor home and cruising. Bill believed in giving back to the community, so decided to run for Courtenay city council. He was successful and served as a councillor for ten years. Bill was extremely proud of his membership in the Royal Canadian Legion and he was a life member of the Elks Lodge. He volunteered on various committees in the valley including working as a volunteer fireman in his younger days. If a hand was needed, he would be there. He firmly believed in helping others and his generosity was well known. Sports played a part in Bill’s life. He curled, played baseball and truly enjoyed fishing. Hockey was his favourite sport to watch on TV. The family would like to thank the staff and caregivers of Glacier View Lodge for their excellent care of Bill. Bill has requested that there be no service. In lieu of flowers, if so desired, donations may be made to the Glacier View Lodge, Heart & Stroke Foundation, the Canadian Diabetes Association or a charity of your choice.

FRIDAY, MARCH 9, 2012 | CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR |
Nominate your favourite tree for recognition Do you have a favourite tree? One that has caught your eye because of its exceptional size or looks, or because it has a unique story attached to it? Now is your chance to share your tree with others in the city’s very first Character Tree Contest. Contestants will be asked to place their tree in a category – examples of categories are Tallest tree, Historic tree or Wildlife tree, and provide two photos of the tree, a description and location. The tree must be within Campbell River city limits. A character tree can be defined as ‘a notable specimen because of its size, form, shape, beauty, age, colour, rarity or genetic constitution.’ The purpose of the contest is to foster an appreciation of the trees around us, and
to involve the community in creating an inventory of significant and unique trees located in Campbell River. To launch the contest, the Museum at Campbell River will be presenting a talk with writer Harold Macy of Merville on Saturday, March 17, at 1:30 p..m. Macy’s talk will be based on his recent book The Four Storey Forest – a book that is part memoir and part arboreal adventure, and focuses on the woodlot on his property that burned down, then regenerated. Macy’s reverence for the forest is evident from his observation that “for whatever reasons, when in the forest we are coaxed to let down our defences, allowing something ineffably divine to penetrate deep into our hearts.” The nomination
period for the contest is from March through to the end of September, and prizes will be presented on Rivers Day, Sept. 29 at the Haig-Brown Festival. Contest forms and details are available in the offices and on the websites of the contest’s sponsors: Greenways Land Trust, the City of Campbell River, the Museum at Campbell River and the Courier Islander, and will also appear in the Courier Islander newspaper. Local businesses as well as contest sponsors are donating the prizes. For sponsorship information contact Greenways Land Trust operations manager Stacey Larsen, at 250-287-3785. For information regarding Harold Macy’s talk or to register, contact the Museum at 250-2873103.

FINANCIAL PLANNING FOR WEALTHY INVESTORS
2X14
If you have $1 million or more in investment assets, your ¿nancial situation is more complex than the average Canadian.
PLANNING FOR LIFE
You pay higher taxes and have a higher standard of living. Maybe you are an executive with a complicated Scott Cessford compensation package or a business owner with an interest in a private corporation. In addition, you possibly own or plan to own more than one real estate property and likely have larger estate transfer and charitable giving desires. Furthermore, you are very busy with your day-to-day work and family life and may have not spent the time to determine if you are on track to achieve your retirement goals, as well as other important ¿nancial goals, such as minimizing taxes or planning for the eventual transfer of your estate. Creating your ¿nancial plan One of the best ways to start mapping out your ¿nancial planning strategy is to step back and have an expert look at your overall ¿nancial situation and prepare a comprehensive written ¿nancial plan for you and your family. This type of ¿nancial plan addresses all aspects of your ¿nancial affairs, including cash and debt management, tax and investment planning, risk management and retirement and estate planning. It ensures that you leave no stone unturned related to your ¿nancial situation and potential strategies to enhance your wealth. A comprehensive ¿nancial plan can address the following questions: > Can I retire when I want to and maintain my desired retirement lifestyle? > How can I ensure that I don’t outlive my money? > How can I minimize the taxes I pay each year? > Is my investment mix appropriate? > If I were to die unexpectedly, would my family be taken care of? > How can I protect the value of my estate? A higher level of customization In many cases, the key to a professionally prepared comprehensive ¿nancial plan is the level of customization it offers. A customized, comprehensive ¿nancial plan should involve the following: > In-depth discovery discussion to ensure that your goals, aspirations and objectives are clearly identi¿ed > Projection of your ¿nancial situation (investment, retirement and estate) based on your current strategies and savings rate > Recommendation of key investment, tax, estate and retirement planning strategies that are aligned with your goals > Projection of your ¿nancial situation if the recommended strategies are implemented > An action plan that summarizes the key recommendations and a clear guideline for you and your advisor to help monitor their implementation This article is supplied by W. Scott Cessford, Vice President and Investment Advisor with RBC Dominion Securities Inc. – 250-287-2393 – Member CIPF. Scott also volunteer’s this time and expertise educating and informing the public through the non-pro¿t group, “Planning for Life Changes”. This article appears in the RBC Dominion Securities guidebook, Family Wealth Management – Ten Strategies to Build and Protect Your Family’s Wealth. Please contact Scott at (250) 287-2393 for a complimentary copy.

A little taste of Broadway Merville road race
As the Muppets once famously sang, it’s time to start the music, it’s time to light the lights. The Campbell River Skating Club’s biennial ice show turns on the spotlight Saturday for two shows at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. The theme for this year’s show is Blades on Broadway and it will feature Vancouver skater Nam Nguyen,13, as its headlining guest performer. This amazing event is held every two years and gives Campbell River skaters an opportunity to showcase their talents. There will be two perfor mances at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. on S at u rd ay at Ro d Brind’Amour Arena. Tickets are on sale at Christian Life Children’s Centre, Campbell River Visitor Centre, Tangles Hair Salon and Day Spa and at Strathcona Gardens. Tickets are $14 each or two for $25. This year’s guest skater, Nguyen is 2011 Junior Men Champion of Canada, the youngest Canadian ever to win Jr. Men’s
title at age of 12 in the Canadian Figure Skating history. He began to learn skating at five and won his first title – the Juvenile Men’s title at the 2007 Skate Canada Junior Nationals Championships – when he was eight years old. Nguyen followed that up with the PreNovice title in the following season, and then took the Novice title. Nguyen trains at Burnaby 8 Rinks. DVD copies of Spotlight on Broadway can purchased for $25 each .

The Killer Whales travelled to Surrey to compete in the BC ‘AAA’ Short Course Championships. The club ended up thirteenth in the province – a huge improvement from the previous years 38th placing. Mackenzie Padington lead the Killer whales with one gold, four sliver, and two bronze medals. Padington also set nine club records and received the Regional Age Group Development Award as the highest point getter on Vancouver Island. “Mackenzie was a fierce competitor this
weekend,” said Head Coach Chris Koopmans. “With every race she pushed herself to the fullest. After coming in second place four times it was great to see her win the Gold medal in the 400 free on Sunday night.” Conner Skuse was also able to medal and set a club record in the 400 IM with a time of 5:18.31. Skuse placed in the top eight in the province in his other events but it was the 400 IM that impressed Koopmans. “Conner executed the race strategy perfectly,” he said. “He has been

Know Your Buying Power Getting pre-approved for a mortgage is something every potential home buyer should do before going shopping for a new home. A pre-approval will give you the confidence of knowing that financing is available, and it can put you in a very positive negotiation position against other home buyers who aren’t pre-approved.

The best way to give your home a facelift without spending a fortune is to use materials that you already have on hand. With a bit of time and effort you can restore furniture and freshen up your home very inexpensively. If your old furniture is made of solid wood, for example, it can easily be refurbished and enjoyed for years to come. Just strip it down or paint it a fashionable colour. You could also remove or add decorative features and change any handles or knobs for modern ones. Next, find out when and where auctions will be held in your area. These estate sales and close-outs are one of the cheapest ways to furnish a home. If you’re a real bargain hunter, choose defective items and fix them up: chairs

After cocooning comes hiving Open-plan homes are perfect for hiving.
Over the years, home decorating has evolved to reÀect trends in our ever-changing society. Cocooning, so prevalent in North America at the turn of this century, underwent a dramatic transformation after 9/11. Today, we still love to spend time at home, but now we do it in a group and call it hiving. Hiving means making connections with others, keeping in touch with family, friends, and work colleagues, all from the comfort of our own homes. The hiving trend has had an inÀuence on how we decorate our homes: coziness must now go beyond

the bedroom and basement den. We want our spaces to have an uncluttered but friendly and welcoming feel. No longer content to entertain ourselves in isolation, now we prefer board games and social occasions. Open plan homes and multifunctional rooms are perfect for this style of living. The big, heavy coffee table has given way to little side tables that can be easily moved around as the occasion demands. Oversized ottomans make perfect footrests, but they also make great extra seating for surprise visitors.

Choose the best and healthiest materials Today’s homeowners are more concerned about their living environments than ever before. They also have more resources to create the living conditions that they desire. Using healthy construction materials is one way to improve a home’s air quality. A good example of this is the use of spruce for building walls. This type of wood grows quickly, making it an excellent sustainable resource. It also has the lowest chemical composition of all the softwoods.

Drywall reinforced with fibres produces very little dust and releases a minimum of volatile chemical substances during installation. The use of low density PVC foam tape and low emission draught-proofing will ensure air tightness between sheets of plasterboard. These two products will eliminate draughts and are the most successful in keeping pollutants and humidity out of the home. They also reduce heat loss by up to 75 percent. For maximum adaptability and accessibility, choose floor coverings made of wood or tiles. Use rugs rather than fitted carpets. Hardwood parquetry and no-wax vinyl tiles are floor coverings that have a permanent finish and require very little care. High efficiency forced air furnaces, heat pumps, and integrated combination heat and hot water systems ensure the precise and economical control of air and water temperatures in modern homes. Heat recovery ventilators help recuperate 70 percent of heat from stale air, improve the quality of room temperature air, lower heating costs, and ensure a continuous influx of fresh air into the home.

Master the Market - How to get the home you want. Are you thinking of purchasing your first home or moving to a new place in the near future? Consider the following essential tips for aspiring home buyers and sellers. STRATEGY: 1) Get Ready - Talk to a mortgage professional about your financial situation and credit history to determine your loan options. It’s important to know how much house you can afford given your down payment funds and income. Your lender may suggest ways to help. Have a meeting with your real estate agent. Discuss your needs and preferences and establish the best method for your agent to send listings and communicate with you about available properties. Tap into his or her knowledge of the local market. When it comes time to act, he or she will represent your interests in negotiations and work to ensure a smooth transaction. 2) Shop Smart - Expect to pay for a showplace; if you consider a fixer upper, judge structural deficiencies more harshly than cosmetic flaws. Location is key- Even if the site seems perfect for you at the present time, think about whether it will appeal to a large pool of buyers if you should decide to sell in the future. 3) Go for it! To write an award winning offer without overpaying, look at the prices for comparable sales. Consider whether the property is in a high demand area or if there is plenty of competition. Ask your agent to find out why it is for sale and if the seller is motivated. If you accommodate the sellers closing dates or other terms her or she may be more flexible with the price.
