Regional district looks to hold taxation line PAUL RUDAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

It’s a hold-the-line budget for the Strathcona Regional District. “It’s fiscally-restrained, a more conservative approach,” said chief administrative officer Brian Reardon. “Basically it’s

status quo. We’re keeping costs down to the rate of inflation.” A stagnant North Island economy is the reason elected directors have been whittling away at costs in order to keep budget increases minimal. The board votes Thursday to approve the budget. Area D (from Oyster River to

the Ocean Grove area) will see the biggest increase of $113 per home owner based on an average residential assessment of $304,643. The main reason for the increase, said Reardon, is costs associated with the Strathcona Gardens complex; Area D shares the costs of the pool and two are-

nas with Campbell River. The Rod Brind’Amour Arena requires significant infrastructure repairs, particularly to the floor, boards and brine lines. The cost of the project is just under $1 million and Reardon is hopeful the district will receive a $400,000 grant to support the Continued on A27

Five-year sentence for stabbing husband in the back PAUL RUDAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Erin Warren doesn’t think much of the apology from the woman who killed her father. “I thought it was a load of ----,” she told the Mirror. “She never admitted to doing it ever! She’s not sorry.” On Friday, in B.C. Supreme Cour t in Campbell River, Linda Mitchell, 54, was sentenced to five years in prison after being convicted of manslaughter in the death of her common-law husband, Christopher Warren. The 55-year-old grandfather died quickly after Mitchell plunged a kitchen knife deep into the middle of his back on April 2, 2010. The wound penetrated one of his lungs and he died bleeding on the floor in the apartment he shared

Linda Mitchell, 54, was sentenced on Friday to five years in prison after being convicted of manslaughter.

with Mitchell at 6459th Ave. Erin Warren was also there when her father perished. She had been

called and told by her grandmother to go to the apartment, who was concerned about the drunken argument

escalating between Mitchell and Warren. But when Warren arrived with her friend Nikki Barton, it was too late. Warren was dying and Mitchell was still irate, refusing to call 911 and screaming at the two women to leave the apartment. Last month, following a four-week trial, a jury convicted Mitchell on the lesser charge of manslaughter. She had been charged with second degree murder. At Friday’s sentencing hearing, Justice Arne Silverman concluded that Warren struck Mitchell in the head with a cordless phone, before she stabbed him, but its unlikely the assault caused her any significant injury and she had no reason to fear for her life. He also rejected the theory that Mitchell

was a battered woman, calling her an angry victim involved in a, “stormy relationship fueled by drinking, and petty quarrels and arguments.” During the trial, Mitchell testified she couldn’t remember stabbing her partner of six-plus years and never accepted responsibility for his death. Before she was sentenced, Mitchell did address the court, saying she loved Warren and also apologizing to the family. “(I want) to express my deep sorrow and sadness to the events of why we’re here,” she said. “I regret any part I played.” However, earlier in the day, Mitchell was not so contrite as she hobbled out of the courtroom during the afternoon break. “(If I hear) anymore

more bull---- in there, you’re going to need a manure tr uck,” she grumbled to two friends. Crown prosecutor David Sissons asked the judge to impose a jail sentence in the range of 6-7 years, noting “a profound lack of remorse” from Mitchell. He said Warren was killed in the “golden years of his life” when he should have been spending time with his grandchildren. But defence lawyer Doug Marion said Mitchell, “had reason to be afraid.” She had been assaulted numerous times, he said, and Warren had two prior convictions for assaulting his former spouse. He called for a sentence in the range of 2-3 years, pointing out that Mitchell received a positive pre-sentence report and she’s quit

drinking – she was under a bail order to not consume alcohol. The court also heard that Mitchell had a previous impaired driving conviction and a 1999 conviction for fraud over $5,000, a crime that earned her a ninemonth sentence under house arrest. But Justice Silverman said the prior crimes had little bearing on his decision as he sentenced Mitchell to five years in prison, minus 128 days for time already served. “I am satisfied the primary factor in this case is denunciation. What you did…must be denounced,” he said. Afterwards, Erin Warren talked about the sentence. “I don’t think it’s long enough. I’m happy she’s in jail…and my dad’s name is clear,” she said.

Fisheries Act: Proposals will ‘set Canada back decades’ Continued from A1 the end of the month.” Fisheries Minister Keith Ashfield has not confirmed that changes to the act are coming, but said the Conservatives are looking at the wording of the legislation. During question period in the House of Commons last week,

Ashfield said the Act is restricting activities and events that in no way harm fish. “Current fisheries policies go well beyond what is required to protect fish and fish habitat. I can give some examples of that,” Ashfield said in the House. “Last year in Saskatchewan, a

long-running country jamboree was nearly cancelled after newly flooded fields were deemed fish habitat by fisheries officials. “In Richelieu, the application of rules blocked a farmer from draining his flooded field.” NDP Fisheries and Oceans critic Fin Don-

nelly sees things differently and said proposed changes will set Canada back decades. “The Conservative government is systematically dismantling environmental protection and regulation,” Donnelly said in a release. “By eliminating provisions to protect fish habitat, they

7x5.5

can push through their agenda of pipelines, oil super tankers, mega mines and other projects that har m the environment. With the stroke of a pen, this government could wipe out decades of progress and condemn future generations to clean up the mess they’re making.”

Woods said scratching habitat from the Fisheries Act would effectively be “gutting that Act and making it much less powerful.” He acknowledged there is an incredible amount of fish in the Campbell River area living in streams that would become vulnerable to development.

“The consequences will allow industry to expand into habitat areas that are currently protected by this section,” Woods said. “The new version of the section eliminates the term habitat and refers only to ‘harming fish of economic, cultural or ecological value.’”

Toasting “A Vintage Voyage” at The Third Course’s 11th annual Wine Festival The 100th anniversary of the ill-fated Titanic cruise ship was the focal point for the 11th annual wine festival hosted by North Island College students and faculty from the Tourism and Hospitality Management Program. Friday’s sold-out gala saw the cafeteria and Third Course Bistro dining room transformed into a splendid re-creation of the glamourous cruise ship, as wine aficionados sipped on crisp whites, tangy roses and full-bodied reds. They also supped on scrumptious hors d’oeuvres prepared by local restaurateurs as well as by students from the college’s Culinary Arts Program. All in all, it was smooth and tasty sailing!

Perfect storm of conditions combine to create hurricane force winds

ast week’s intense windstorm had all the characteristics of a “decent hurricane,” according to a UBC PhD candidate studying B.C.’s windstorms. The deep, low pressure system on March 12 brought with it wind conditions reminiscent of one of the rare hurricanes to ever hit the B.C. south coast, says Wolf Read, a PhD candidate in Forest Science at UBC. “Last week’s vicious windstorm was a gale on par with hurricane Freda – aka The Columbus Day storm – in 1962 which was one of the most destructive windstorms in the history of southwest B.C.,” according to Read, who has been working on his PhD on windstorms in B.C. and was able to put the March 12 storm into the context of past windstorms in B.C. He was also able to explain why last week’s storm was so strong. “When a Pacific

storm strikes, the strength of measured surface winds at a particular location are related to a number of factors,” he says. The March 12 cyclone (picture those satellite images of spiraling cloud formations you see in hurricane weather reports) had great intensity, Read says. It had a very low barometric pressure at the centre – 96.1 kPa (28.38”). When an extratropical cyclone like the March 12 storm has a very low pressure, it is called “deep,” he says. The deeper the low, relative to the surrounding pressure, the greater the likelihood of intense winds. The March 12 storm had strong differences in atmospheric pressure within a few hundred kilometres of the centre. The difference in pressure between stations is called the pressure gradient. Gradients in pressure drive the winds. Another key factor in the storm is that the centre passed right over Solander

Campbell River was close to the eye of one of the most intense storms to hit the Island in 30 years.

Island off the Brooks Peninsula and therefore relatively close to Campbell River. The closer a low passes to a region, the more likely that location will experience damaging winds. Read examined the pressure data from key stations on northern Vancouver Island: Estevan Point, Solander Island and Port Hardy and calculated the pressure gradients for the March 12 storm. “The results are phenomenal,” he says. The pressure gradient peaked at 18.3 hPa per 100 km at 9 a.m. on March 12 – around the time of peak winds at Campbell River, Read says. To put these numbers into perspec-

tive, he relates them to several intense windstorms that have struck southwest B.C. – including, for example, the Dec. 2006 storm that caused widespread destruction to trees in Vancouver’s Stanley Park – and none of these produced a gradient as high as on March 12 on Vancouver Island.

storms produce gradients above 12 hPa per 100 km. and values down in the 4.5-6.0 hPa-per-100-km. range can result in fairly strong winds, Read says. Remember, the March 12 reading was 18.3 hPa. The pressure gradient within about 100150 km. of the centre of the March 12 storm “appears to to have

been comparable to a decent hurricane,” Read says. In fact, he says, they were reminiscent of Freda. Typhoon Freda – or the remnants of Freda – struck the Pacific coast in 1962 and caused an estimated $10 million in damages and seven deaths, according to Natural Resources Canada’s website. Winds were recorded in Victoria reaching sustained speeds of 74 km/h with gusts to 145 km/h. Campbell River, of course, had reports of 134-km/h winds. And Read points out that the equipment we have today is better, more accurate. In addition to the pressure gradient,

the March 12 storm was given a further boost by the fact that it tracked NNE to N as it passed Campbell River. The storm’s motion coming out of the SSE/SE can enhance wind speed giving it a boost of about 25 km/h, Read says. The cyclone also reached the north coast of Vancouver Island at or near peak intensity. More often, lows are mature and dying when they reach Vancouver Island, Read says. These fading lows can still produce a decent windstorm. However, a peak intensity storm is more likely to have the gradients and dynamics to produce damaging winds.

Lightkeepers receive more support PAUL RUDAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

West Coast lightkeepers have received another vote of confidence from the federal government. In March 2011, the Conservative government promised not to destaff B.C.’s 27 manned lighthouses, as well as those in Newfoundland, following a report prepared by the Senate Standing Committee on Fisheries and Oceans. Now, a year later, Minister of Fisheries

and Oceans Keith Ashfield re-confirmed the government’s position in a letter to committee chair Senator Fabian Manning. “T he gover nment has no plans to de-staff lighthouses and since this matter has been examined extensively, there is no need for further study on this matter,” Ashfield wrote. Coast Guard executives have tried to get rid of lightkeepers since the early 1970s and replace them with automated stations. However, the brass

has failed to convince that automation can provide the same level of protection. Those in favour of manned lighthouses say the lightkeepers provide up-to-date weather information and can assist in rescues in remote locations. Jim Abram, the former lightkeeper at Cape Mudge on Quadra Island, was pleased to hear the latest news. “This is a very, very important confirmation,” he said Monday. Hearing the latest news was important,

said Abram, because it comes from the minister who’s a member of a majority government. “How much better can it get?” said a pleased Abram, who has battled Coast Guard executives for years over their intention to destaff lighthouses. “We went through this so many times…so much money was spent…I think this is fantastic.” In its report to the minister, the standing committee stated lightkeepers are the “eyes and ears” of the coast.

Treaty recognizes sharing of resources MARK ALLAN BLACK PRESS

The K’ómoks First Nation inked an agreement F riday with the Xwémalhkwu (Homalco) First Nation that defines the rights and responsibilities of each regarding their historical shared access to resources. A signing ceremony at the K’ómoks Band Hall officially recognizes that both groups “are willing to continue to share certain geo g raphic areas,” according to the shared resource harvest area agreement. The agreement covers the harvesting of fish (including shellfish), wildlife and migratory birds as well as gathering plants, medicines and other materials. “The agreement really recognizes the roots of your nations and how they were intertwined in the past,” K’ómoks assistant treaty co-ordinator Ron Frank told a crowd of K’ómoks and Homalco people. “It really takes us back to those roots where we shared the areas where we harvested our resources,” added Frank, who noted that as a member of neither nation, he

was proud of both of them for reaching the agreement. “In a moder n-day context, this agreement gives us certainty around negotiating our respective treaties,” Frank continued. “We have a very clear agreement that won’t get in the way of each other’s treaty processes. “And in those areas where we share lands and resources — access to lands and resources, it’s very clear that we have to speak to one another before we make decisions that affect those areas.” For instance, the K’ómoks will select treaty settlement lands within their statement of intent area only if they are outside Homalco core areas. Any treaty settlement lands selected by either that are within the other’s core areas will require written consent from the other band. Specifically, K’ómoks recognizes the exclusive right of Homalco to harvest sur plus salmon from Bute Inlet. Homalco recognizes the K’ómoks right to do the same from the Courtenay, Puntledge, Browns, Tsolum, Oyster and Salmon rivers. “Instead of each

Maryann Enevoldsen, who joined fellow Homalco

councillor and treaty co-ordinator Darren Blaney to the signing ceremony. “I’d also like to thank B C T C ( B C T re at y Commission),” said Enevoldsen. “Without their funding contributions, this agreement wouldn’t have been possible.

Our View

A tough year for Premier Clark When Christy Clark became premier, she promised open, inclusive government that would engage the citizens of British Columbia. She was lauded for her communications skills; after all she We say: She has ascended to the top political job in the province riding her popularity only herself to as a radio talk show host. blame for her But 53 weeks later, the BC Liberal drop in popularity party is floundering in the opinion polls and Clark is less popular than opposition leader Adrian Dix. She has only herself to blame. Clark’s first year in office has been a series of missteps and

misjudgments. When she campaigned for the leadership of the Liberal party, she promised a quick election as a way to expunge the bad taste left with voters by Gordon Campbell’s waning reign, and to make her new-look leadership more accountable. It never happened. And she continues to drag her feet on setting a date for two byelections in the Lower Mainland. She made a public pronouncement of shaming Stanley Cup rioters by promising televised trials for those charged then had to back off when it became apparent the already overburdened legal system would grind to a halt from all the challenges by camera-shy defendants, their lawyers and

prosecutors. Her showdown with teachers has mobilized the labour movement and disenfranchised her from unionized workers of all stripes. Her government’s reasons for canceling its deal with Telus for naming rights at BC Place seem to change every day. And last week, her newly hired communications director Sara MacIntyre became a YouTube sensation when she tried to deny reporters and photographers the opportunity to ask her boss questions at a scheduled appearance to which they’d been invited. These are hardly the actions of an open and accessible government, nor of an engaging leader. – Black Press

Retaining trees Re: “Underground utilities the way to go”, March 16 Mirror. I found several aspects of your editorial regarding underground utilities most interesting. In particular, since I have been involved in developing a subdivision, your comments “... there’s so many trees in the city except for in the newer subdivisions where the tendency is to clear cut the property before building houses.” and “... new subdivisions can afford to retain trees because all services are put underground”. Services are put underground in new subdivisions because that is the standard to which they are constructed because at some time a city council had the foresight to decide that long term aesthetics and maintenance costs considerations were more important than increased development costs. That was good. The increased infrastructure development costs led to the creation of smaller lots. Financially responsible for the developer, and somewhat ironically, not incompatible with the “sustainable” objectives embraced by our current city Council. Continued on A9

Tall trees that stood for decades succumb to the storm

Alistair Taylor Out On A Limb

The barometer plummets, sinks down, down, even further down to depths rarely seen. Perhaps somewhere in Campbell River an elderly gentleman, disheveled housecoat, strands of grey hair standing up, stumbles stiffly into the kitchen to prepare his morning coffee. Passing the barometer, he notices the needle on the gauge jammed down to its lowest levels. You can imagine him peering at it closely. He snorts, “hmmph.” Flicks the glass with his middle finger. “Hmmph,” again. Then he notices the noise. It’s the wind. It’s the trees. It’s a distant crunch. A nearby clatter. What is going on outside? Sweeping the front room curtains

back, he unveils a canvas of grey chaos. Swaying, trembling trees topple to the ground lashed by the furious wind. Root masses are raised into the air like a parody of a dead parrot in a child’s cartoon. Rain drops are slaves to the wind, whipping about horizontally and rattling windows, splattering streets, soaking everything. Bits of houses roll along the ground like tumbleweeds in the desert. Pieces of roofs sail past the window. The street is littered with blown-over garbage cans, liberated trash bags, scattered recycling day contributions. It’s a storm like no other and on Monday, March 12, it had the Campbell River area in its grasp. It’s fury that of a vengeful demon. Faced with

the unexpected and the only halfunderstood, people conjure up near superstitious metaphors to describe forces like the weather. But at 9 a.m. March 12, the scientific data pointed to the climax of a phenomenal atmospheric event that people could only describe with wonder, amazement and not-unwarranted fear. At 9 a.m. March 12, the low pressure system on top of an island off the tip of the Brooks Peninsula on the west coast of Vancouver Island is so low and so deep, air from the surrounding area pours into it like a biblical flood. And on the ground that gushing air manifests itself as the wind And the wind begins to scream. Howl. Rage. It’s been said that plants

express anxiety. If that’s so, the trees can only be left to huddle in terror as the air mass pounds them furiously. Pushing, pulling, roaring in frustration until the proud firs and puny alders give up their resistance, letting go of the ground, roots ripped out of the soil. Tall trunks that stood for decades resisting storm after storm finally surrender to the fury of this one and topple to the ground. People huddle in their shelters. Houses that once seemed so modern, so sturdy, so well built, suddenly seem so vulnerable. The air pressure centred off the west coast of Vancouver Island plunges and the whirling vortex frantically sucks in more air from the denser, Continued on A9

Taylor: Storm winds Continued from A8 higher-pressured atmosphere around it. And like a giant vacuum cleaner, the cyclone howls as the air mass attempts to correct a giant imbalance in pressure between the column of atmosphere above Solander Island and the areas of higher pressure adjacent to it. Imagine the air as a body of water and then watch it cascade down into a narrow, deep hole like water down the drain of a giant bathtub. Spinning and roaring. The draining water is the air circling around central Vancouver Island, tiny Solander Island at its epicentre. And that circling air is the wind. Now that you are visualizing the air using the bathtub analogy, reverse it. Flip it over because the terminology focuses on the drop in pressure leading to words like deep and

low. But the movement of air is actually up and away from the surface of the earth, counteracting the force of gravity. Hence the low, or lack of, pressure. Pressure is a force pressing down on something, and in this case, low pressure means the lack of density. The air is actually sucked up into the upper levels of the atmosphere. High pressure is dense, heavy air sitting on the ground and is characterized by warm temperatures, clear air, stable conditions. Low pressure is associated with moisture, cold air and wind. But, of course, this isn’t just an atmospheric wonder. It’s a borderline natural disaster.

For our deliverance, we can thank our wealth, our rich resources that allow us to afford the best building materials humans have ever developed. In less developed countries, there would have been no structure left standing. As it was, somewhere south of Campbell River, a young boy is pinned under a tree toppled by the wind. One can only imagine how scared he was and how close we came to a tragedy. Meanwhile, roofs were caved in by giant firs. Thousands of dollars worth of damage has been caused. It’s a natural phenomenon, of course, but it was one of the strongest storms to happen in 30-40 years.

Quit worrying about saving trees Continued from A8 The not so good part is that attempting to retain trees leads to all kinds of problems. Speaking from personal experience, attempting to leave aesthetic, sound, safe native trees after allowing for roadways, building locations and driveways is a monumental challenge. Naturally, the first good wind that comes along and takes out some of these trees creates incremental cleanup costs, not to mention the aspect of liability. Then to add the environmental twist, should an eagle with a yen for urban living decide to try to set up housekeeping in one of the remaining trees, the zealous application of regulations regarding “preservation of the eagle tree” requires that there be NO activity within a 60 metre radius of the tree! What are we supposed to do.....abandon the intruding homes.....close the streets...... don’t cut the grass in the back yard? I think there is room for a compromise. Let’s consider that there are forests, rural areas, and developed areas. Let’s leave the forests and their management to...wait for it...the Ministry of Forests. How about letting the people who have invested in rural acreages have their horses, pastures, and agricultural opportunities, and with their choice of forested areas. And for the city, why not realize that there does not appear to be a shortage of eagles (if you don’t believe me just go up to the landfill on Argonaut Road and get your fill of these majestic scavengers) and quit worrying about saving trees in the city.

Pole peeler neighbours plot next course of action KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Duncan Bay Road residents, who say a pole peeler plant is destroying their livelihood, held a neighbourhood meeting Sunday night to plot their next move. Tracey Deller, owner

of Blue Spruce Home Park, hosted nearly 50 neighbours to discuss the pole plant at 5301 Duncan Bay Road. Homeowners living near the plant say the pole peeler emits a high-pitch screech as the debarker peels the logs.

Corinne Matheson, who lives up the street from the plant, likens the pole peeler to “Chinese water torture.” Matheson said no major decisions came out of Sunday’s public meeting but a discussion to sue the city is ongoing.

“We are seeking legal advice and have been talking to lawyers,” Matheson confirmed. The city meanwhile has requested pole plant owner Northern Pressure Treated Wood Ltd. implement recommendations from a sound consultant’s report to

reduce the noise of the log peeler. The recommendations include reducing the area of the log in-and-out feed openings, and enclosing the log in-and-out feeds openings with insulated tunnels. Peter Wipper, city clerk, says the city

is still waiting for a response from the owner, but company president Mike McCollough says the company has already done enough; his pole peeler operation is under a heavy insulated building, an extra measure Norther n Pressure

Treated Wood took to abate the noise. “We all want this pole plant gone from this neighbourhood,” Matheson says. “Not just a band aid put on it to try and cut the noise a bit, which will not make any difference as we will still hear it.”

Flynn said. Children in the Strong Start program, a playbased early learning program facilitated by Early Childhood Educators for kids from birth to 5-years-old, play in the school’s gym. Strong Start parents have joined forces with the school’s Parent Advisory Council and have their eye on purchasing an Old MacDonald’s Farm play-

Heartfelt Thanks

Strong Start kids and kinderg ar teners at Cedar Elementary have been excluded from the school playground due to safety concerns. Recently, a g roup of parents set out to change that. “The PAC (Parent A dv i s o r y C o u n c i l ) decided that given our school was starting full-day K in September 2001/2012 and given our Strong Start has one of the highest enrolments, a smaller and safer playground would benefit both young children play groups at Cedar,” said principal Gwendolyn Flynn. “It also provides a community playg round for our neighbourhood which is booming with younger children.” The Adventure Playground at the school is geared towards kids f ive - ye a r s - o l d a n d

ground. Lindsay Rosse, a Strong Start parent, said the school needs to raise $6,000 to secure the playground. School Districts do not fund playgrounds. Wal-Mart and Grieg Seafood have already chipped in to help with the playground costs as well as Windsor Mill Sales which donated $700 worth of pressuretreated wood to go

around the base of the playground. Rosse said the school is also hoping for a donation of playground-rated pea gravel. The school’s largest fundraiser is a silent auction, slated for Wed., March 28 from 5:30-8:30 p.m. in the Cedar gym. So far, Rosse has amassed more than $1,500 worth of items from local businesses. Everything from a $300 teeth whitening treatment, to a family dinner at Fusilli Grill, to jewelry, to a basin faucet. Rosse, who attended Cedar as a child, said she hopes to not only raise enough for the playground but enough to help the school in other areas of need. “Anything over that we raise we will give back to the school for the breakfast program,” Rosse said. “That school’s in such need. They’re a low income school.”

The Campbell River District Teachers’ Association would like to send our heartfelt thanks to the many unions, businesses, and individuals who have supported us in many ways during 3X7 our strike and rally last week, and during our Job Action all year. We deeply appreciate all of your support!!

Drivers destroy woman’s yard trying to avoid fallen tree KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A Campbell River woman is furious over damage unleashed on her home during last week’s powerful wind storm. She’s angry because the damage is manmade, not crafted by the force of Mother Nature. “Instead of a feelgood stor m story, I’ve got a vandalism story,” said Treena Lancaster, who is less than impressed with the mess that’s been left on her hands. The front yard of

A chunk of grass about five feet wide on Lancaster’s rural property was torn up and part of her underground electric fence was also damaged by vehicles driving over top of the lawn.

“It’s not covered by insurance because it’s not storm damage – it’s vandalism.” Lancaster said she’s frustrated that people didn’t think about what they were doing and showed blatant disrespect for her property. She said a neighbour told her that after the first car drove through her yard, other cars followed, thinking it was okay. Lancaster said she firmly believes it is an obvious case of vandalism and is considering reporting the incident to the RCMP. “They tore up the grass at the side of my yard – a major portion of my yard,” Lancaster said. “They could have turned around in my driveway but instead they turned around in my yard and now it’s destroyed.”

Frederick Roger Reber Fred (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Freddieâ&#x20AC;?) Reber was born in Niagara Falls, Ontario on September 23, 1940. He passed away peacefully in the Campbell River Hospital on March 12, 2012. His friends and family would like to say a huge thank you to the staff of 3-North for their compassion and care for Fred in his last days. Fred spent several summers in various logging camps around the Campbell River area in his earlier years, although he worked most of his life in other places. Fred worked as a chef for a while and spent 25 years as a long-haul truck driver. Despite seeing all of North America, it was always his dream to return to Campbell River. About 13 years ago, Fred was ďŹ nally able to realize this dream and lived for about 10 years on York Road before moving to Sayward for his last years. Fred was known for his gruff independence, a strong work ethic and a willingness to help anyone in need. He will be missed by his family and all who knew him. There will be a graveside service in Sayward on March 24, 2012 at 12:30 p.m. followed by a memorial service at Sayward Christian Fellowship Church, 740 Gentry Road.

December 7, 1917 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; February 29, 2012 Anne was born in Edmonton, Alberta and remained there until she moved out to British Columbia when she was seventeen years old. She married her husband in 1938 and after living in Vancouver, Wells and other places, they made their home on Quadra Island in 1948. This is where they raised their family. In 1990 she moved from Quadra to Courtenay and a while later on to Salmon Arm where she lived the rest of her life. Anne loved to garden, her ďŹ&#x201A;owers were always spectacular and she took great care with tending them. Her cooking and baking were fantastic and one was always advised not to eat before visiting because she was sure to try and ďŹ ll you up with her goodies. She was â&#x20AC;&#x153;sharp as a tackâ&#x20AC;? up to the very end and her wit will be missed, along with her laughter. We will all miss you but we are thankful we were gifted with you for so long. Anne is predeceased by her husband, Gerald Thomson; daughter Geraldine Thomson Smith; son Kenneth Thomson; son-in-laws Brian Smith and Frank â&#x20AC;&#x153;Redâ&#x20AC;? Elford and granddaughter Sharon Smith. She is survived by her son Bruce (Bridgette) Thomson and her daughter Carol (Barry Eberle) Elford. She also leaves behind grandchildren: David Smith, Craig (Leah) Leslie, Pamela (Robert Bisson) Elford, Brad Elford, Lorena (Steven) Woods, Blake (Karen) Elford and Gerald Thomson. She will be missed by great-grandchildren Zachary, Garrett and Holly Leslie; Christopher, Nicholas and Corynne Bisson; Jaymie Elford, Charisse and Tierney Woods, Breanne and Rachelle Elford.

THOMSON, ANNE BOOTH (nee FOWLER)

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our Dad. He passed away peacefully with his family by his side. Predeceased by his Mother Elva, Brother Wesley and step son Darrell. Survived by wife Darlene and children Dan {Benita} Deb, Dave {Kim} and step sons Dan, Brad Grandchildren Tom, Kate, Courtney, Kurt, Clayton, Daniel, Chelsea, Jason Brothers & Sisters Karen, Jim {Carle} Jerry {Margaret} Barb {Dan} Judy {Paul} Liz Many Nephew, Nieces and close friends {you know who you are} Dad was a proud man and loved his family very much. The oldest of eight children born in Thunder Bay Ontario. Moved west to Victoria B.C in 1973, eventually making his way to Campbell River where he lived for the last twenty ďŹ ve years. Dave loved to go ďŹ shing and hunting whenever he could. He especially loved the moose hunting trips he went on with son Dave and Grandson Tom. The annual ďŹ shing trip to Tahsis with Darlene, Deb, Dave, Tom and Kurt was a trip he spoke of often and was a source of great memories. We will think of you often and when we do a smile will come upon our faces. WE LOVE YOU DAD. A special thanks to Uncle Jim for coming to B.C. and supporting Dad and the family, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a good man Uncle Yimmy. A celebration of Dads life will be held Wednesday, March 21st 3:00 PM at the Eagles Hall in Campbell River.

Elsie passed away March 9, 2012 after a brief illness with respiratory complications. She was born on April 26, 1931 on a farm near Maymont, Saskatchewan. She was the second oldest of eight children (Norma Wiley, Lois Wiley, Mabel Dyck, Ron Bohn, Stella Roman, Margaret Walker, Verna Unger). Her parents, Stanley and Leta Bohn were exceptionally ďŹ ne, hard working farmers, committed to their family and to surviving those early difďŹ cult years. Elsie trained as a psychiatric nurse at Battleford, Saskatchewan but she was soon married to Olof Nylander in November, 1950 and together raised their ďŹ ve daughters: Doris (Gerry) Flinn, Evelyn Carruthers, Ruby (Stewart) Smeltzer, Karen ( Hogie) McCrae, and Norma Hansen (Jack Rhyno). They farmed near North Battleford until 1964 when they moved to Campbell River, BC. Elsie was a very capable woman, a great mother and a role model as a do-it-yourself â&#x20AC;&#x153;little red henâ&#x20AC;?. Her determination for self and family improvement were inspirational to all the lives she touched. She was very proud of her nine grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren: Michele Nylander (Jaden), Stacey Flinn and Dan Pattison (Brittney, Griffen, Jacob), Suzanne and Paul Pattison (Eva), Conway Carruthers, Kaitlyn and Ashley Smeltzer, Kevin and Kari McCrae (Marcus and Kiera), Randy McCrae and Dane Hansen. She enjoyed working 29 years in the ďŹ nance department at the Campbell River hospital. Her involvement in the Hospital Employees Union developed the strong belief that unions helped to raise the standard of wages and beneďŹ ts for everyone and believed in the process of collective bargaining. She was a great source of strength to her family and when she was asked â&#x20AC;&#x153;how will we go on without you?â&#x20AC;? she said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do just ďŹ neâ&#x20AC;?. No doubt we will, but sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be sadly missed. Her memorial service will be held at the Elk Falls Cremation and Reception Centre Chapel, Highway #28 at Elk Falls Memorial Cemetery on Saturday, April 7th at 1 pm. Donations may be made to the Campbell River Hospital Foundation or to a charity of your choice.

Lack of support postpones high school fundraiser KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Another fundraiser to help send high school students to Guatemala to do humanitarian work has been postponed. The International Co-Op class, made up of students from both Carihi and Timberline secondary schools, was slated to host a triathlon this Saturday. Due to a lack of interest, the triathlon, appropriately dubbed the ‘Co-op a thon’ will be tentaively rescheduled for April 28, after Spring Break. “We are going to have to postpone the Co-op a thon this weekend as (there are) no entries to date,” said Barb Izard, International Co-op instructor. The triathlon involves a traditional 750-metre long swimming course at Strathcona Gardens indoor pool, a 20-kilometre bike course, followed

by a five-kilometre run, ending at Timberline school. The cost to participate is $20 per person or $50 per team. Applications are available at Shorerunners (1371 Greenwood St.) and at Carihi and Timberline. The students’ Co-op a thon is the third fundraiser to be postponed. Last week, Izard had to put off Hoops for Houses, a drop-in hula hoop session. The event, scheduled for March 20, will be re-slated for sometime after Spring Break (April 2-15), dates still to be determined. Prior to that, a people auction, where the public could bid on students to perform household chores, had to be rescheduled two weeks ago due to the teachers’ strike. T h e eve n t w a s rescheduled for March 13, but with last week’s wind

stor m cancelling school the day before the auction, the event was cancelled. Instead of a live auction at Timberline, the public was invited to call the school or Izard to book student workers. The fundraisers are instrumental in the students’ effort to raise $8,000 – the cost of the International Co-op class’ project fees in Guatemala.

The class will be in Guatemala July 1-15 to help build two houses for two struggling families. The students will also help teach English in the local school and orphanage. “ We f u n d r a i s e extensively to make it affordable for all students,” Izard said. “These students are empathic, caring, hopeful and committed to helping a fam-

ily who is disadvantaged in a very poor country.” Izard said Guatemala has been hit hard by the global economy and tourism – a major revenue generator – is down. The co-op class’

presence not only directly aids families through its labour, but it also supports the economy. “We are able to help support many of the businesses and residents while also completing work experi-

Songbirds the calm after the storm guests. Spring cleaning should also extend to other parts of our property, many people will be replacing fences that were blown down or damaged. Fences that are designed to keep out the deer need to be at least six to eight feet in height, and horizontal rails should be close together as deer can squeeze through very small spaces. Loss of habitat in urban areas makes it all the more important that we try to help our feathered friends and other wildlife, by providing food, shelter or nest boxes where appropriate. Remember that it is against the wildlife laws to keep or rear wildlife without a permit and feeding mammals can make them dependent on humans for food and bring them into neighbourhoods where they are hit by vehicles or attacked by domesticated animals.

Backyard feeders should be thoroughly cleaned to prevent any harm to the birds the feeders attract. can offer advice on which plants, shrubs or trees are best suited to your needs, where possible using native species. They can also give advice on deer resistant plants but remember deer are fickle and often try plants they have rejected before. Depending on the birds you want to attract, it helps to know the basic needs of the species – humming birds need trumpet shaped flowers like fuchsia, columbine, penstemon and honeysuckle and are particularly attracted to the colour red.

Other species prefer seeds, buds, berries or insects, and butterflies are attracted by large colourful flowers. Hummingbird feeders are an added attraction but they are also high maintenance and should be cleaned and refilled on a weekly basis. Do not use food colour and use the ratio of one to four sugar to water; feeders should be in a sheltered area where there is cover close by. Windows are not an ideal spot as often the birds see their reflection and hit the window as they scare off their mirror image. Other areas around

our homes also need consideration; attics, basements, and crawl spaces are often forgotten and can provide the perfect nest site for squirrels, raccoons, birds, or rodents, which in turn can create havoc by chewing wires or holes in your siding. Woodpeckers are another hot topic and we are often asked for advice; northern flickers and pileated woodpeckers have a habit of announcing their presence in hopes of attracting a mate. They do this by “drumming” loudly on a roof vent or wood siding usually at the crack of

dawn. Unfortunately, other than lagging the vent to dull the sound you just have to wait until the bird finds a mate or another house that has a louder “noise maker”. All this talk of spring inevitably culminates in the new generation of wildlife and we always reiterate the importance of leaving wildlife alone, their best chance of survival is with their parents. Each year MARS rescues or receives many baby birds, raptors, seal pups, deer, to name a few. Please call us before intervening with any wildlife. Check our web site for more information or call 1(800) 304-9968 for injured or orphaned wildlife, or (250) 337-2021 for general calls. MARS will be holding an Open House on April 7 and a first annual “Walk for Wildlife” on Earth Day, April 22. Check our web site for more information and pledge sheets at www.wingtips.org

Regional district: Board nixes arena upgrade fund Continued from A1 work. The rest of the funding for the 2013 project was supposed to come from taxation, but now the board is expected to borrow the money. Funds have been set aside to do the planning work and drawings. Additionally, the board cut $333,400 from the Gardens’ capital reserve. This was supposed to fund the second phase of arena upgrades esti-

mated at $2.5 million. The plan, said Reardon, is to modernize and increase the size of the changerooms, but now further public consultation will take place before phase two moves forward. To make matters worse, the Gardens’ concession stand, run by union employees, is a financial burden. The concession lost $22,043 in 2011, $18,131 in 2010, and $11,291 in 2009.

Income split Aim at reducing your family’s total tax liability by allocating up to 50 per cent of your eligible pension income (monthly pension payments and, when you reach age 65, RRIF income) to the lower income spouse/partner for tax purposes. Share bene¿ts Sharing CPP/QPP bene¿ts with your spouse/partner can save signi¿cantly on taxes. Plan withdrawals RRIF withdrawals are fully taxable; manage your taxable income by withdrawing as little as possible. Take full credit Reduce the amount of tax you pay by taking advantage of all the federal tax credits (some with equivalent provincial credits) that apply to you including the Pension Income Credit, Age Credit, Medical Expense Credit, and Charitable Donations Credit, among others.

However, both potential new services will be examined by the board this year. Also this year, the board will review remuneration for directors. According to a line in the budget discussions, the directors are considering boost-

ing their total allowance from $132,600 to $162,248. Reardon says the proposal is still being looked at and a decision is expected in April or May.

71 – before and after Be sure to take full advantage of the taxsheltering bene¿ts of your RRSP by making your maximum contribution up to the end of the year you turn 71. At that age, the government requires that you wrap up your RRSP(s) and convert the proceeds, usually to a RRIF.

Consider a guaranteed investment fund This is a segregated fund that contains a guaranteed minimum withdrawal bene¿t so you can enjoy the potential investment growth of a mutual fund along with a guaranteed regular income

Consider a Monthly Income Portfolio This mutual fund option is more Àexible and tax-advantaged than other non-registered options like a Guaranteed Investment Certi¿cate (GIC) which locks in your money while locking it out of potentially higher returns and creating an immediate tax bill on redemption. A monthly income portfolio is designed to provide maximum investment returns along with a monthly income, a part of which is treated as return on capital – a tax-deferral strategy that can increase your after-tax monthly income.

Bantam Tyees in medal hunt Campbell River’s bantam Tyees are playing for a medal this morning. But the colour – gold, silver or bronze – is up in the air after the No. 1 Auto Body Tyees advanced to the semifinals of the provincial Tier 2 championships in thrilling fashion. The two semi-final games were played last night in Trail with Campbell River advancing to the playoffs following a do-or-die win over Westside Warriors on Monday night. In their opening game on Sunday, the Tyees

skated to an easy 13-2 victory over Fort St. John. Grady McInnes had a huge game for the local boys, scoring five times while Gavin Rauser and Travis Goodwin also sparked Campbell River with four points apiece. But on Monday morning, the Tyees got into penalty trouble and dropped a close 3-2 decision to Burnaby Winter Club. Rauser and Goodwin scored for Campbell River. With the loss, the Tyees played a must-win game on Monday night, their second

With time running out, Westside pulled the goalie for the extra skater, but the Tyees scored an empty-netter to regain the two-goal lead. But it wasn’t over yet. With just 40 second remaining in the game, the Warriors scored again, but it wasn’t enough as Campbell River hung on for the 8-7 victory to earn a spot in Tuesday’s Continued on A31

It wasn’t close though as the bigger and more experienced Armada squad scored at will in winning the game. The score was not available. PAUL RUDAN/THE MIRROR

Snowshoe competitor Hazen Meade (right) will compete for Canada in the Special Olympics World Winter Games in Seoul, Korea.

Meade to represent Canada at Worlds Hazen Meade received a call this afternoon that made his dream a reality– he has been selected to represent Canada at the Special Olympics World Winter Games in Seoul Korea in January 2013. When he first received the call he told Team Manager Lesley Thornley, “He thought it was a good idea but had to think about it” –because it would mean that he had to travel to a foreign country Within minutes he realized that this is the call he had been waiting for. Meade Hazen Meade has wanted to attend a world games ever since his teammate Paul Aubuchon made Team Canada back in 200- and represented Canada in Dublin Ireland. Meade described Aubuchon as a “world class athlete” and he said that someday he would like to be a world class athlete like Aubuchon. Well that someday has arrived. Meade participates in swimming, 5 pin bowling, floor hockey, softball, track and field and snowshoeing. Meade will be the fourth athlete from Campbell River that will represent Canada at a world games in Special Olympics B.C./Campbell River’s 29 years of operating. Walter Dion, Dave Devison, and Aubuchon attended previous years. When asked what is the secret of the Campbell River athletes’ success, local coordinator Maureen Brinson said, “It is not just the great athletes that Campbell River has to offer, it is also the support of the community. When you have fundraisers like The Howie Meeker Charity Golf Classic you are able to offer the quality of Programs that Athletes like Hazen participate in every week. We have an outstanding team of Coaches and volunteers that make our weekly programs happen, We truly are a fortunate Community.”

Cougars: effective puck movement

Duo in the medals

Continued from A30 tis Palmer scored just 10 seconds into the game. This was followed up by another quick marker to see the Hawks up 2-0. Cougar goaltender Ryan Hunter settled into the game to backstop his team that was out-shot, but definitely not out-played. Led by defencemen Chris Beech (captain), and Cole Gent, the Cougars effectively moved the puck to their forwards. Two goals by Jacob Collins and another by Grady Kennelly, were overshadowed by the four-goal, two-assist performance of Lucas Marriot-Spencer. Hawks’ forwards Curtis Palmer finished with two goals and Ethan Fox with three. By the end of the second the score had seen several lead changes and the Hawks were down 5-4.

A pair of Campbell River atheltes came home with medals from the Canadian nationals held at Richmond oval, site of the 2010 olympic speed skating. Approximately 300 competitors from all provinces competed as Karate B.C. hosted this high level event on the weekend, the first time since 2006. Two local competitors represented B.C. in this event, veteran Chad Edberg and Valerie Doyon both competed in the kumite or sparring event. Doyon competed friday drawing last year’s national champion in the first round. She managed three points on her but came up short with a valiant effort. Doyon dominated her next two matches and came out victorious in both those. In her fourth match she ended up with a tie so the judges had to make a decision. Doyon lost this decision by 3 to 2 flags. That victory would have put her in the gold medal match. Instead she ended up with a Bronze medal. This is Doyon’s first trip to nationals and the team is pleased with her personal best at this tournament. Chad Edberg was eliminated in the men’s black belt plus 84kg kumite. The setback didn’t sit well with Edberg and the next day he went on to lead the British Columbia men’s team to a silver medal in the team Kumite event.
