to bring some of his existing companies to the new “industrial park” including a developer of algae based solar cells, a lithium battery manufacturing facility, an ocean wave energy equipment fabrication and an electric vehicle assembly plant. The Edmonton developer has also told the Mirror that Pacifica Deep Sea Terminals will accept “all environmental liability” for the 400-acre site. That assurance came after the Mirror obtained a memo written by BC environment ministry senior contaminated sites officer Vincent Hanemayer which states that “the Elk Falls Mill has been identified as a contaminated site by the ministry and prior to redevelopment contamination would have to be assessed and addressed.” City Manager Andy Laidlaw has said he has no information about specific con-

Water: Source of life, or death? Residents of Campbell River who have travelled to countries where drinking water can bring illness and death understand what a privilege it is to have safe, clean, goodtasƟng water at the turn of a tap. But do all residents know and understand the basics about their drinking water source and treatment? Do they have the knowledge to keep their prisƟne water supply safe today and for future generaƟons? Do you? Take the City of Campbell River on-line survey to test your basic knowledge (see link below). The answers are guaranteed to surprise you! Hopefully, the surprise will arouse your curiosity enough to keep reading the on-line informaƟon about your drinking water. “This is really interesƟng informaƟon that everyone in Campbell River should know”, commented parƟcipants of the City Watershed Tours held during Drinking Water Week in May. Knowledge about drinking water treatment and source protecƟon may prompt residents who enjoy camping, swimming, boaƟng and hiking in the Campbell River watershed to pracƟce responsible recreaƟon in the area. In a large watershed such as this, with varied acƟviƟes, it will take a team eīort to balance recreaƟon and drinking water protecƟon. Please visit our web-site, take the online survey and become informed at www. sustainablecampbellriver.ca (follow the link to Watershed Management Plan); provide input via 250-203-2316 or water.wise@ campbellriver.ca.

WHO MADE IT ALL POSSIBLE!

Cortes Island regional district director Noba Anderson has been warned she could be the author of her own “demise.” That warning comes from Strathcona Re gional District (SRD) Chair Craig Anderson, the mayor of Gold River, in reference to Anderson’s summer newsletter to her constituents in which she suggested that one island resident was undermining the majority. Anderson – writing that she was just back from a “self-imposed mental sanity leave” – commented that Cortes resident Wendy Legare “has attended just about every regional district board meeting for close to three years and writes repeatedly to the board about

issues that matter to her.” The Cortes director suggested that without other Cortes Islanders in attendance at SRD meetings Legare’s “minority view can greatly influence decisions and therefore undermine the majority will.” Anderson also took aim at all Cortes Islanders because “very few of you will ever take a day out of your lives and incur the ferry cost in order to witness local gover nment decisions and processes.” Finally, she wrote: “It would not therefore occur to you to either support (Legare’s) perspective on issues or present your own.” SRD chair Anderson says he has reviewed the Cortes newsletter in question and can find “nothing underhanded in (the direc-

tor’s) writings.” “I have talked to the director on numerous occasions about conflicts on Cortes,” he added. “How she deals with it could be her demise.” “How is this news?” Anderson demanded when contacted by the Mirror. “Quite frankly I’m floored.” She said the newsletter content was meant to compliment Le g are’s “eng agement.” She added that her goal is to get the public more engaged and “the same half dozen folks are blowing this way the hell out of proportion.” Re g a r d l e s s, h e r newsletter has earned her less than flattering reviews. The group “Reality Check – Islands Nor th” has highlighted “Anderson’s act of subjecting a citizen to public embarrassment merely for exercising her civic rights” and for characterizing those rights “as a wrongful act of intimidation.” T i m M u r r ay, a Quadra Island member of the local government monitor, has demanded to know why the SRD board has not “chastised Anderson for her disparaging act.” A letter in support of Legare’s diligence was sent to the SRD board by Klahoose First Nation Chief James Delorme. “ We a p p r e c i a t e those Area B citizens who are in attendance at regional meetings outside Cortes Island, at their own financial

debt, who can relay unbiased infor mation back to our community.” Board chair Anderson says he has written the chief to assure him that “we believe in free speech.” Daniel Fretts, a Cortes property owner who had Legare as a public school teacher, wrote: “It seems incomprehensible that a government official would denounce a citizen for attending meetings and writing letters. She (Legare) has participated in the process of local government as it was intended to function. Members of the public who hold ‘minority views’ must be permitted to freely express themselves ... without fear of discrimination or intimidation.” Legare could not be reached for comment.

Island grandmothers kick it into high gear You may have seen these three women, Jackie Leigh, Margo Cormack and Linda Carlson, peddling their blue bikes about town. They will be joining 30 Vancouver Island grandmothers cycling from Campbell River to Victoria, September 7 - 9, to raise funds for African grandmothers who are faced with the unimaginable task of burying their own children and then raising their HIV/AIDSorphaned grandchildren. Cormack and Leigh are looking forward to joining the ride for the first time this year. Carlson did it last year and found inspiration in cycling the beautiful back roads of Vancouver Island with a group of wonderful women from across the Island. Many had done it several times and the oldest was 80-years-old. The journey begins today at 9 a.m. in Rotary

Government employees strike likely not the last TOM FLETCHER BLACK PRESS Provincial government employees staged their largest one-day strike so far Wednes-

day, to press for a bigger wage increase, with two thirds of the workforce off the job at ministry offices, liquor stores and ICBC offices province-wide.

Both the government and the B.C. Government and Services E m p l o ye e s ’ U n i o n remained unwilling to budge from their positions after negotiations

broke down over wage increases this spring. The union executive is meeting next week to consider further strike action this fall. Two earlier one-day

strikes targeted liquor warehouses and then selected resource ministry offices across B.C. Government negotiators offered raises of

two and 1.5 per cent for the next two years, then withdrew the offer after the union staged the first strike. BCGEU chief negotiator David Vipond said

Wednesday the wage offer has been tabled and withdrawn three times since talks began early this year, a tactic he called “peek-a-boo bargaining.” And after three years without a wage increase, he said the union is sticking to its demand for 3.5 per cent in the first year and a cost-of-living raise of about 2.5 per cent in year two. “They want us to reduce our real income over this contract, and we’ve already taken a five-per-cent hit,” Vipond said in an interview. “So to try and chisel us again with a skinny deal doesn’t make sense to us. We want to at least keep up with inflation and gain a little of what we have lost.” P re m i e r C h r i s t y Clark unveiled her new cabinet lineup in Victoria Wednesday as BCGEU pickets circled gover nment offices downtown. Both Clark and Mike de Jong, the new finance minister, said they have no intention of increasing the burden on taxpayers to provide bigger raises. “The government’s position on this hasn’t changed,” Clark said. “I am not going back to taxpayers for more money in order to give gover nment workers a raise. We are in very tough economic times.” The government estimates that the wage offer adds up to $1,700 more over two years for a BCGEU employee making $48,000 a year.

Women will Take Back the Night Take Back the Night is a local march in solidarity for Campbell River women to raise awareness of women’s rights to be safe from violence in their communities and homes. As a group, women are still greatly overrepresented as victims of sexual violence. According to the Canadian Women’s Foundation, one in two girls in Canada will be physically or sexually abused in their lifetime. The first Canadian Take Back the Night march was in Vancouver in 1978, as an event to

speak out against violence, sexual assault, and harassment. It is about women reclaiming the right to be able to walk without fear at night and to eliminate sexual violence. All

women are invited to join a short march starting at Spirit Square, 7:30 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 12. The march goes through downtown and concludes back at

Planning for Life Changes If someone has appointed their child or children as their Attorney and the attorney is taking their parent’s money; what protection is available?

Gurdeep Sidhu Notary Public

When someone (the “donor”) makes a Power of Attorney then essentially they are appointing a representative that has the responsibility to protect and manage the ¿nancial assets of the donor. The attorney is not allowed to bene¿t from the donors resources. However, if the attorney abuse his/ her position and take the donor’s money then it’s likely that family/ children of the donor will intervene and attempt to protect the donor. If the attorney is a child of the donor and takes their parent’s money then government department called Public Guardian and Trustee has the authority to investigate and protect. Anyone (neighbor, friend, relative, etc.) can notify the public guardian and trustee. There were recent changes made in this area of law and the public guardian and trustee was given many new enforcement powers. Making a Power of Attorney is not simply signing a letter of authority. It’s a quite complicated area of law. One should seek legal advice in the matters related to Power of Attorney. “Planning for life changes” is a not-for-proﬁt group made of local professionals who will be providing free seminars that will cover various aspects of life including retirement planning, income taxes, Wills and Power of Attorney, real estate matters, and funeral planning.

Labour cauldron bubbles as classes resume The summer holiday is over and the kids are back in their classrooms for another 10 months of education. Along with the ABCs and three Rs, this year they may even get report cards. This year students and their parents We say: Next B.C. don’t have to worry about scrapped after-school activities or navigating government will the simmering tensions between have its hands teachers and administrators. In September 2011, students entered full with teachers classrooms with teachers on a workto-rule footing. Instruction didn’t stop, but teachers didn’t write report cards, wouldn’t host parent-teacher conferences after school hours and in some cases,

coaching for sports teams was taken over by volunteer parents. In some schools principals, vice-principals, superintendents and managers scrambled to watch elementary kids at recess and after school. A three-day strike in March capped off a terrible year in public education. This year classrooms are basically back to normal, but the labour war between teachers and government bubbles behind the scenes – especially with the issue of class size and composition. The BC Teachers’ Federation is suing the government to regain bargaining rights over these factors. BCTF has a court date in December.

Just before he announced his retirement and left the education portfolio veteran cabinet minister George Abbott said he expected the next round of bargaining with teachers to begin next March or April. However, that process will be quickly sidelined by the May election which most political pundits and pollsters expect the NDP to win handily. The BCTF won’t waste its time seriously negotiating with a lame-duck Liberal administration when it can re-start negotiations with a more labour-friendly NDP government. And, the dearly departed Liberals will be more than happy to hand this hornet’s nest to their friends across the aisle. To the winners go the headaches.

Letters

Mayor needs defending Well I just can’t sit on my hands and say nothing, especially when our great mayor needs defending. Although the River Radio news was sympathetic that no one defended Walter Jakeway from Mr. Alan Edie’s verbal abuse, I do know that the Courier Islander’s and the Campbell River Mirror’s report in my opinion was not very favourable for our mayor and made Mr. Edie much too favourable in my opinion. Just prior to the Tuesday, Aug. 28, 2012 council meeting our mayor went through Mr. Edie’s Ironwood Mall, (on the outside of the construction fence), to have a viewing of the Development Permit on the council’s agenda, and for this he gets chastised for doing his job? What the real problem is, is that Mr. Edie was already excavating well prior to the Development Permit being approved. Well the next best defence is a good offence. Mr. Edie has enough experience to know that the mayor being in the storage business would have to take leave during the Development Permit discussion so he comes out verbally attacking our mayor and trying to make him look like the bad guy.

Backyard chicken farmers: We know you’re out there

Morgan Ostler Urban Gardener

What Does New York City Have that Campbell River hasn’t got? Legal chickens in their back yards…housed in coops on their fire escapes and on their roof tops – that’s what they’ve got. And here we are in our pleasant seaside community housing potential criminals who are secretly raising chickens under bushes, in their basements or cooped up in derelict cars in order to avoid the fearful eye of the bylaw officer. We know you’re out there…you residents of Willow Point and Campbellton and Quinsam Heights. You are forced to go undercover by your desire to have fresh eggs for

morning breakfasts, gardens free of black slugs and destructive insects, pesticide free berries and veggies for your families plus plenty of droppings for the compost pile. More than a year has passed since the city conducted public surveys and posted very specific questionnaires on the development plans for the communities. The question of support for backyard chickens received full support from participants except for the No Vote of a former mayor who confided in me that he thinks chickens are dirty. Perhaps, as a child, he was chased by a depraved chicken. On the other end of the stick another retired mayor

secretly raised chickens for many years inside municipal borders and thinks the naysayer mayor is “crowing in the wind.” The Agricultural Steering Committee, of which I am a member, will be coming forward to city council in late September to appeal for a poultry bylaw that will allow these cuddly cluckers to live life to the fullest. It will free their masters from the terrifying possibility of finding a bylaw officer checking under bushes and peering into basement windows. A poultry bylaw will be a gift to the environmentally concerned residents when we can at last keep family birds with big ben-

efits. Chickens have great personalities and are interesting to observe. They will joyfully eat and recycle all our kitchen waste, thereby reducing municipal organic waste. They provide insect control and contribute rich fertilizer for gardens and composters. They allow families to take control of their desire to “eat local” and become more food secure. And…best of all… the city’s support for a bylaw will allow Campbell River to join the ranks of Island municipalities with visionary ideals. Those include Victoria, Oak Bay, Metchosin, Esquimalt, Saanich, Langford, Duncan, Nanaimo and Port Alberni.

OPINION

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR | FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 2012

No greater coach than Charlie I met Charles John for the first time in 1979 at the Campbell River Eagles Boxing Club. I was 12-years-old. He became my lifelong friend, mentor and companion, and coached me through 11 years of amateur boxing competition. A lifetime of watching him interact with people in an amazing number and variety of ways; Charlie was a great sportsman, gifted athlete, motivator, and

tremendous coach. His continuous inspiration to others, his knowledge and ability, unique training methods, leadership, easy going personality, and the pleasure and fun he always was to be around, were instantly appreciated and respected by all those he came into contact with. To be included in or even just to watch, one of his spirited and intense wrestling matches, was

something that everyone always loved. Perhaps Charlie’s most unique and wonderful talent was his ability to interact, communicate, teach and produce such a positive feedback in young people. Whether it was in or out of the boxing gym, he affected people in such a positive way and always fostered admiration. He was sometimes merciless and intense while pro-

viding coaching, training or leadership in the boxing gym, but he made it fun, rewarding, and people always came away with a smile; knowing they had been enriched by the experience. He disproved the commonly held boxing belief that a tough and gritty coach has to separate himself from or avoid friendship with his pupils or protégés. Charles John was a fantastic boxing coach.

I have met and been coached by many people across Canada and around the world, and no one bettered Charles in his knowledge of the mechanics of boxing, fitness, and strategy. In Campbell River, on Vancouver Island, across B.C., Canada or anywhere; Charles John was boxing at its purest and finest.

DEATHS

Lyle Raymond Shaw January 12, 1947 August 29, 2012 Lyle Raymond Shaw, age 65, died August 29th 2012 in Nanaimo General Hospital, with his family close by his side. He passed away after a sudden fight with pneumonia. He was predeceased by his parents Gordon Raymond Shaw and Rita Marie Zaphyrine Shaw (Simard). He was a loving father to his children; Lawrence (Sophie Theoret), Tamara, Raymond, and Samantha (Jesse Godin). Grandpa to grand-daughters; Roxanne, Ann-Sophie and new grandson Bowie Godin. Brother to Darlene (Lawrence MacIntyre), Barbara, Joy, Russell, and Carl. Proud uncle to his nephews and nieces. Lyle was born in Montreal on January 12, 1947 and grew up in P.EI. He joined the RCAF and served in Bagotville and Comox. During his years on the north end of Vancouver Island he worked a variety of jobs. He owned two Radio Shack stores, one in Campbell River and another in Port McNeill. Lyle held many different sales positions throughout the years and made many friends along the way. He had many passions in life; travelling, fishing, music, cars, flying and reading. He was a real computer guy and liked to keep up with the latest in technology. He spoke fondly of his family in P.E.I . and enjoyed sharing stories of his adventures both on the east coast as well as the west coast. He left us much too soon and will be forever missed by his children, grandchildren, family, close friends and all who knew him. Lyle would want us to lift a glass in a toast to celebrate his life, listen to one of his favourite songs, and to continue sharing the fond memories that he left with each one of us.

Unusual zoning prevents woman from financing home KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A Campbell River wo m a n h a s b e e n

refused insurance and financing on her home because of an unusual zoning bylaw on her residential

property. Gitta Kruse said her home on the Island Highway, next door to the Anchor Inn, sits

on property that is zoned for commercial use. She said the problems started when the city re-zoned her property from Commercial-5 (C-5) to Commercial-6 (C-6). “In 2007 they changed the zoning on my property without my knowing,” Kruse said. “In 2010 I was going to do some re-financing and I found out it was a C-6. The banks refuse to re-finance me for anything as long as it’s a C-6. And recently my home insurance people have refused to insure me, also because it’s a C-6.” Kruse said when she purchased her home the proper ty was zoned C-5 but it was

then re-zoned without her knowledge. Now she’s trying to sell her home but with little luck. “I actually had an offer on the house and they went to get financing and they couldn’t get financing either, so I’m kinda frozen,” said Kruse, who feels she’s being forced into leaving her home. “I’d prefer to stay there but I can’t get financing to re-finance my mortgage. If it doesn’t get changed, I’ ll have to leave Campbell River.” City Manager Andy Laidlaw said Kruse’s property was changed from residential to commercial sometime between 1949 and 1998. He said the re-zoning from C-5 to C-6 in 2007 should have no

effect on Kruse’s property as the activities allowed under both zonings are virtually the same. C-5 zonings allow for a retail store, hotel/motel, or other licensed facility. With a C-6 zoning, acceptable uses are a retail store, hotel/ motel, licensed facility, neighbourhood pub, or seasonal recreational facility. The change to a commercial zoning would have happened during a re-zone of the entire community, to match other properties in the area. “There’s very little difference, it would not affect the issue being addressed here,” Laidlaw said. “The zoning changed from C-5 to C-6 under the change of a bylaw so the use and description of activities

allowed under those zones would not have affected your property.” Kruse disagreed. “There may not be any difference to you guys in this zoning but the banks refuse to give money on a C-6 zoning,” she said. “They refuse to finance anything on a C-6 unless you’re a commercial business and I’m residential. For some reason the whole world hates C-6.” Laidlaw suggested Kruse meet with him to sort out the problem. “We’ re pre pared to abdicate on (her) behalf to the bank,” Laidlaw said. “We’re prepared to meet with her and bring in the resources needed to deal with her problem.”

Show and Shine celebrates 20th Cambell River celebrated Labour Day with a fantastic ending to summer. The season concluded in style in downtown Campbell River and at the Tyee Plaza on Sunday as the North Island Cruisers held its 20th annual Show and Shine. From a 1899 car powered by steam to a 2,500 horsepower nitro funny car, there was everything and more for car, truck and bike lovers. The weekend kicked off on the Saturday night with a cruise around the city and then Sunday’s Show and Shine took place all along Shoppers Row as thousands of people came out to enjoy the day. The day was capped off with the Campbell River Hospice Society drawing the winning ticket for its car raffle. Proceeds raised at the Show and Shine will benefit local charities. All in all, it was a highly-polished 20th anniversary. Well done North Island Cruisers!

Scene & Heard

Thousands of automobile lovers stroll Shopper’s Row checking out the fab cars.

romanticized history,” Hanscom said. “Both pop culture and art historical contexts infiltrate my work. My creative explorations are strongly influenced by passions for, and broad interests in, music and film. Much inspiration stems from a weakness for childhood space adventure, classic westerns and film noir.” Visitors to the Campbell River Art Gallery will also want to see the exhibition Side

Saddle by married artists Jorden Blue and David James Doody. The pair has worked as a collaborative team for the past 11 years, and believe communication has been the foundation of their artistic relationship. For Side Saddle, sponsored by Denise Mitchell Interiors, they’ve created new work featuring paint on canvas as well as a mailbox surprise. The couple describe themselves as among the new school of Vancouver artists “toppling the walls of tradition in

search of a more lucid menagerie of over the top multi-media objects and interactive environments.” Meet Hanscom, Blue and Doody at a reception Thursday, Sept. 27 at 7 p.m. at the Campbell River Art Gallery and see an award-winning hip hop dance perfor mance by CR DanceXtreme. Come see Nickels and Dimes and Side Saddle until Oct. 26. Note the Gallery has switched to fall and winter hours, Tuesday to Saturday from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m.

ARIES

LIBRA

You will probably have a mountain of work to cope with this week. Even though this is a rather stressful situation, it will beneﬁt you by bringing in some extra income.

September is a month of many changes: the start of a new school year for students, and a return to work for others. This is a good occasion for you to reﬂect on your lifestyle and think about any changes you’d like to make.

TAURUS You’re feeling quite dynamic this week, and there’s a good chance that you will ﬁnd a great way to treat yourself. Your friends will persuade you to take part in some interesting activities.

GEMINI Stress is in the stars for you. Be sure to take a step back now and then in order to relax and see things from a more positive perspective.

CANCER Your friends may include you in a weekend of relaxation, or perhaps your life partner will suggest a romantic interlude. Either way, you will enjoy some sort of getaway.

LEO You will be confronted with some big responsibilities that will improve your career prospects. You can expect a few hours of overtime.

VIRGO

SCORPIO Even though you are not always comfortable in a crowd, the responsibility of organizing a largescale event for lots of people will fall to you. Be conﬁdent in your abilities and try to enjoy the task.

SAGITTARIUS You will end up with a lot of work on your plate, consisting mainly of small details that need urgent handling. Don’t hesitate to ask members of your family for help at home.

CAPRICORN Someone close to you will invite you to sign up for a very special weekly activity. Take them up on it, as it will help you stay ﬁt for the winter.

AQUARIUS You don’t much feel like leaving the house. Take this time indoors to ﬁx up the little love nest you’ve always dreamed of.

Don’t be surprised if PISCES your boss invites you to take a training course that will open the door to a more interesting job. A trip is also on the horizon.

You might ﬁnd yourself on the go more than usual this week. You’ll also spend a lot of time either talking on the telephone or using social networks on the Web.

Second career as a ‘turner’ turns on a strong Loonie BRIAN KIERAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

When Mike Neufeld was just 15 years old and heading off to his first job as a logger for Alaska Pine, “you were out of work as long as it took you to get to the next camp,” he recalls. Today, at 79, Neufeld, the artist, is out of

work because of global economic forces and inter national currency fluctuations over which he has zero control. Neufeld is best known around Campbell River for his second career as a “turner,” a master craftsman whose artistry on the lathe has produced

intricate vases of BC maple, African ebony, Mexican coca bola and Chilean blood wood that have fetched more than $2,600 a piece in the finest galleries. That was in the glory days when the Canadian dollar was languishing in the 60 cent range against the U.S. dollar. Continued on B8

Turner: Pieces used to sell like hotcakes Continued from B7 â&#x20AC;&#x153;I could barely keep up with demand,â&#x20AC;? Neufeld says. His pieces sold like hotcakes in galleries in Chemainus, Tofino, Granville Island and at the Delmar Fair in San Diego. Even though he tried to sell locally, a piece worth $1,600 could sit unsold in a local gallery for six months and then sell in a day for $2,100 in a gallery in Vancouver. Today, in the world of Loonie parity that $2,600 vase, that takes a week to make and contains wood that costs as much as $100 a board foot, is worth maybe $1,300. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The margins became smaller and smaller,â&#x20AC;? Neufeld says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was already giving 45 per cent to the galleries.â&#x20AC;? After all, this was more than a hobby. It was virtually a second career quite in keeping with his first. Neufeld was destined to spend his life

around wood. When he was just 15 his logger dad said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;You really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to go to school do you? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get you a job in the woods.â&#x20AC;? When Neufeld retired from forestry in 1993 he was a market logger managing his own timber sales. In 1996 his brotherin-law Walter intervened. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He saw I had nothing to do and told me to go out and buy a lathe. Once I turned it on I never looked back.â&#x20AC;? T h at $ 2 5 0 l at h e became a $10,000 investment over the years that paid significant dividends, like a brand new truck. Neufeld looked at it this way: â&#x20AC;&#x153;If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a hobby you get tired of it.â&#x20AC;? Neufeld has sold his lathe, but he still has dozens of beautiful pieces for sale, pieces that already qualify as one-of-a-kind collectorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s items thanks to the strong Loonie.

in Ottawa, received the medal August 28. The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal commemorates the 60th anniversary of the accession of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II to the throne as Queen of Canada. Medals are being presented throughout the year to deserving Canadians

to celebrate significant contributions and achievements. ViceAdmiral Paul Maddison, Commander RCN, submitted Capt(N) Hudock’s name for the prestigious medal. “I was very surprised to be awarded the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal; nevertheless, I am extremely

humbled and honoured that I did get it,” says Capt(N) Hudock. “My successes were always as a result of being part of excellent teams and ships’ companies, thus I always tried to ensure my staff (and not I) were selected for such honours. However, I am grateful for the recognition of my own hard

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 2012 | CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR |

Arthritic care now closer to hom People in Campbell River who live with arthritis may benefit from the arrival of two new rheumatologists that are coming to Nanaimo. The pair will help kick off Arthritis Awareness Month this September by leading a free public forum. Dr. Alison Kydd and Dr. Nicole Baur are

going fill a gap that has impacted people living with arthritis on Vancouver Island. “We currently have one rheumatologist who is serving this part of Vancouver Island and that is not realistic, given the demand – there is a year’s waiting list,” says Cari Taylor of the Arthritis Society.

The forum takes place on Sept. 13, 6:30 p.m.- 8:30 p.m., at Beban Park Recreation Centre, 2300 Bowen Rd., in Nanaimo. There is no cost to attend the forum but registration is required by calling 1-866-414-7766 or e-mailing registration@bc.arthritis.ca

Drive Smart BC What Does It Cost to Slow Down in a School Zone? It’s tough to write a fresh article on some traffic safety topics. Urging drivers to watch for children and slow down in school zones at the start of each school year is just one example. Everyone should know this along with the fact that traffic police will be active in school zones issuing expensive tickets for those who don’t slow to 30 on a regular school day. So, let’s take a different look at the situation. Just how much does it cost a driver if they do slow down properly for a school zone? School zones are most often 50 km/h zones when drivers are not required to slow down. This is a speed of about 13.9 meters per second. My calculator also shows that the 30 km/h school zone speed is about 8.3 m/s. Now let’s consider a school zone about 400 meters in length. This distance might even be a bit long for most zones, but it takes about 29 seconds to drive this distance at 50 km/h. Slow down to 30 km/h and it takes about 48 seconds, or only 19 seconds longer. 19 seconds is trivial and I’ll dare to say that all drivers can spare 19 seconds out of their day to contribute to school zone safety. Add the fact that a collision with a pedestrian when driving 30 km/h is significantly more survivable than one at 50 km/h and you don’t have any logical way of justifying your failure to obey the speed limit in these situations!
