Fire centre keeps eye on Wolf River KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A forest fire burning in Strathcona Park is growing. The Wolf River fire, started by a lightning strike on Aug. 18, has grown to between 150 and 200 hectares in size due to strong winds last weekend. When it first ignited, the fire

occupied just two hectares. Despite the growth, the Coastal Fire Centre says the fire will not be put out, but rather allowed to continue burning. “This is called a modified response fire,” said Marg Drysdale, fire information officer at the Coastal Fire Centre. “BC Parks is comfortable with allowing it to continue burning to clean out the debris and help the things

It’s good for growth in the forest.” It’s also not posing any real danger. “There is no threat to values, there is no threat to infrastructure, and there is no threat to humans,” Drysdale said. “It’s actually an environmentally-sound thing to allow the fire to continue.” Continued on A3

A spate of cliff diving deaths continued last week with the BC Coroners Service confirming that a Quadra Island man was killed Sept. 4 while diving near a waterfall on West Redonda Island. A “significant increase” in the number of recreational drowning incidents this summer has prompted Coroner Barb McLintock to reiterate the need for “greater caution around the province’s lakes, rivers and ocean coastline.” The West Redonda victim has been identified as Jason John Norman Grandberg, 34, from Quathiaski Cove on Quadra Island. Grandberg and family members had sailed from their home on Quadra Island to Teakerne Arm on West Redonda Island on the afternoon of Sept. 4. In the evening, he attempted a cliff dive from the rocks near Cassel Falls. Grandberg did not surface and rescue attempts at the time were unsuccessful. His body was recovered by an RCMP dive team Sept. 6. The BC Coroners Service is continuing to investigate this death. Continued on A3

Day tripping hikers luck out

KRISTEN DOUGLAS/THE MIRROR

Walkies!

Enthusiastic dog lovers set off from Nunns Creek Park on the Paws for a Cause SPCA fundraiser on Sunday

Fire: “quite aggressive,” showing open flame Continued from A1 The fire is burning on a “really steep cliff face” on a mountainside to the west of Buttle Lake. Smoke from the fire can be seen billowing out of the mountains opposite the road to the Nyrstar (Myra Falls) mine. Last Thursday, Friday and Saturday the smoke could also be seen in Campbell River due to warmer temperatures late last week.

Drysdale said smoke could be smelt from as far away as Parksville. The Wolf River blaze is currently the largest wildfire on Vancouver Island and Drysdale said it’s expected to grow even further. “BC Parks and Wildfire Management came up with a plan for the fire and have set trigger points,” she said. “If it reaches those trigger points, they will reassess and they

may expand the trigger points or they may go in and maybe cool certain areas.” To contain the fire, air tankers have laid fire retardant lines along the base of the fire to slow the blaze from moving further down the mountain and to tie into a natural land slide area south of the fire. Helicopters have periodically flown up to the fire to drop water on it in order to

keep it cool. Drysdale said the recent rainfall has helped. The fire was bur ning at a Rank Three – meaning it was quite aggressive and in some areas showing open flame. But rain on Sunday and Monday dampened areas of the fire and lowered the rank. Drysdale said the fire does not pose a threat to Strathcona Park users or motorists using Highway 28.

A pair of ill-equipped day tripping hikers ran out of sunlight last week on Elkhorn Mountain, but they didn’t run out of luck. Campbell River Search and Rescue (CRSAR) manager Grant Cromer says the pair had no tent, no overnight clothing and no food, but very mild weather allowed them to safely wait for sunlight to make their descent. Cromer says the happy ending to this event should serve as a warning to other hikers: “This is a turning point in the year for weather, the season is changing and the weather is becoming less predictable, colder nights and more precipitation can be expected.” CRSAR was paged Sept. 7 by the Nootka Sound RCMP to look for two overdue hikers on Elkhorn in Strathcona Park. The “day trippers” left for a hike Thursday morning to climb Elkhorn 16 kilometres east of Gold River. They missed their return time and the RCMP was contacted. Cromer says SAR crews set up a base camp at the Elk River trail head and dispatched a team to retrace the hikers’ route. Another SAR team boarded the RCMP helicopter for an air search. An hour later the ground team located the men coming down the trail. They were

uninjured and travelled back to the base camp with the ground team. “Basically they had run into a shortage of daylight. They made it to the peak but ran into snow. With diminishing light conditions on the descent they ran out of time. They tried to make an alternate descent off the trail but the terrain was inaccessible, so they camped out for the night and started walking again at daylight,” Cromer says. “They were lucky with the weather being very mild. They had experience so they didn’t panic and just waited until the sun came up and then started back down the trail when they met up with the search team.” Cromer says in the coming weeks being lost overnight can be serious if hikers are not prepared for cold overnight conditions. “We always recommend people travel with a basic day pack which can contain a rain jacket, signal device, basic food and water, a small first aid kit and something to stay dry with if they are forced to stay out overnight such as a small tarp or emergency shelter. You can last for several days without food and water but hypothermia can kill in hours...Think 12 to 24 hours down the road when you head out.”

Diving: three deaths Continued from A1 This is the third death in B.C. in a month related to the dangerous sport of cliff diving. On Aug. 19 an RCMP dive team recovered the body of a Surrey man who disappeared underwater two days earlier after jumping off a 50-metre cliff into Whistler’s Anderson Lake. The 26-yearold, whose name has been withheld at the family’s request, had b e e n b o at i n g a n d wakeboarding with

five companions. Witnesses said the victim spotted the cliffs above Anderson Lake and decided to climb them in order to dive. When he did not surface, his companions searched for him unsuccessfully, then called for help. Another cliff diving death occurred on Vancouver Island on the same day. The body of Jamie Collins, 33, of Tofino, was recovered a day after he jumped off a 20-metre cliff into Kennedy River west of Port Alberni.

Hospice’s ‘Green Hornet’ finds a home After seeing the G re e n H o r n e t , a s affectionately dubbed by the Campbell River Hospice Society staff, all around town this s u m m e r, t h e 2 0 1 2 Mazda 2 made its final appearance on Sunday, Sept. 2 at the North Island Cruisers Show ‘n Shine. In front of a large crowd full of anticipation, the Society drew for the winner of the Mazda 2 and free gas for a year. And the winner is… Darcey Wood of Campbell River.

This year, for its Annual Summertime Raf fle, the society acquired a 2012 Mazda 2 through Coastline Mazda and had the ve h i c l e e n h a n c e d with tinted windows donated by Tint Works; fancy wheels – donated by CCW; and had the car wrapped with creative graphics - donated by Epic Design. While enjoying her new and peppy Green Hornet, Wood will not have to worry too much about filling up each month as Coastline Mazda has sponsored

and provided her with free gas for a year. All proceeds from this raffle go directly back to the Hospice Society. Without fundraisers and support from the community, the society could not continue to provide, free of charge, the important services that it does for Campbell River and the surrounding area. For more information about the Hospice Society and how you can support the group, visit www.crhospice. org

Council-approved governance audit to analyze city’s ability to achieve value for money KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

City hall will be put under the microscope following a decision made by council behind closed doors last month. During an in-camera session July 10, which is closed to the media and the public, city council voted to proceed with a governance audit. The audit will be conducted by George Cuff & Associates Ltd. throughout the next few weeks. Coun. Andy Adams, who has the finance portfolio, said the audit is key to reviewing how the city delivers its core services, such as

garbage pick-up, water, sewer, and policing. “You’ve heard a lot about a core services review,” Adams said. “There are steps recommended to do that. The first one is a governance audit. That’s how you are administered and governed, your services – that’s the first audit.” The audit will analyze the performance of city hall and provide council and city staff with information and advice that will help with accountability to the community and achieving value for money in its operations. Mission, a community of similar size to Campbell River,

recently conducted a core service review in which Campbell River and four other municipalities participated. The five communities’ financial situations were compared to Mission’s to give the Fraser Valley community an idea of where it stands. Campbell River’s audit will likely be similar, but because the decision to conduct the audit was made incamera, council cannot discuss any of the details. Adams could say that it’s been more than seven years since Campbell River has had a governance audit. “A governance audit is something that is

done less frequently,” he said. “Governance audits or core service reviews are done periodically, an example is the Mission core review. It’s been quite some time since Campbell River has had one.” Adams said Campbell River did partner with Nanaimo four years ago in an information session but a governance review was never conducted. Meanwhile, in the same July 10 in-camera meeting, council also voted to contract with J.R. McDonald & Associates Inc. to conduct a strategic planning session in October. Both the planning session and the gover-

Round-the-Island trip raises $10,000

Ecosystems at your service.

KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

verything was going well for Keegan Taberner – almost too well for the young seaman sailing to raise awareness for an organization close to his heart when he heard a loud ‘thunk.’ Taberner’s beloved cruiser Themistocles had hit a rock while sailing into Sooke. “We got pushed around by the currents and ended up somewhere not quite where we were supposed to be,” Taberner said recounting his 39-day adventure circumnavigating Vancouver Island. The mishap forced Taberner, 18, to reevaluate his mission, dubbed Keegan Taberner’s Sail for Juvenile Diabetes, which was supposed to take this year’s Timberline graduate 1,700 kilometres around Vancouver Island and down along the Washington coast, into Seattle. “It’s not a big deal but I wanted to get it repaired and I wasn’t sure the extent of the damage,” Taberner said. So the trip was cut short by just more than two weeks, and the American leg of his journey had to be scratched. But aside from sharp rocks and a bout of homesickness, it was

BC Hydro invests in local customer reliability The Campbell River power grid will be a bit stronger this fall as BC Hydro increases capacity and reliability to the north end of the city to target Quadra Island. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are two circuits that go to Quadra Island

from the Campbell River Substation, and the one that goes across Seymour Narrows doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the capacity to carry the entire Quadra customer load,â&#x20AC;? says Stephen Watson, spokesperson for BC Hydro. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The primary driver of this project is to increase its capacity to provide complete back-up abilities so we have two

circuits able to carry the Island load.â&#x20AC;? BC Hydro is nearing completion of power grid additions and reconfigurations within Campbell River so the additional circuit capacity to the Quadra area can be achieved. The additional circuit within the city will also provide benefits to Campbell River and allow for an increase in

capacity to the power line that passes John Hart. The planned construction work at John Hart next summer will require additional construction and staging electricity needs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A more versatile power grid will provide BC Hydro crews with more switching options in response to power

outages,â&#x20AC;? Watson says. With some of the project work happening along Homewood Road and directly beside a wetland and Nunns Creek, BC Hydro has provided a $5,000 donation to the Greenways Land Trust. The cost of the system improvement project, expected to be complete be the end of October, is about $2.5 million.

Our View

B.C.’s wildfire vulnerability The wildfire that struck Peachland with ferocity on Sunday night is another reminder of just how vulnerable many parts of B.C. are to the forces of nature, and how little can be done to adequately prepare for such events. We say: Province At the time of writing, the cause has learned from of the fire was not known. What is known is that it started in one the 2003 fire in small area not far from Highway the Okanagan 97C, on the west side of the small community, at about 3 p.m. on Sunday afternoon. Within just a few minutes it was a raging inferno, driven by strong winds and feeding on the tinder dry forest and grasses.

The quick response from both the ministry of forests, which dispatched water bombers and helicopters and a large ground crew, and also from numerous Okanagan fire departments, helped to contain the spread of the fire. But on Monday morning, it was still burning and was not under control. Some buildings had burned, but the extent of the destruction is unconfirmed. B.C. has learned something from the 2003 Okanagan Mountain wildfire, which destroyed more than 200 homes in Kelowna and charred a huge area on the east side of Okanagan Lake. The destruction remains visible from Peachland and many other Okanagan communities. In that fire, the response

was not as quick and the co-ordination efforts developed over time as the fire progressed. However, there is no way to absolutely prevent wildfires. There are many causes, such as lightning, that humans have no control over. People want to live in beautiful communities and some of their homes will be located in areas that could easily be hit by a wildfire. People must do all they can to be careful with any open flames, and it seems that most people have heeded that message. But the threat of wildfire will never go away. Quick and well-prepared responses are critical. – Black Press

Letters

Legacy landmark changes Filed for publication with the Mirror Re: City Considering Changes to Legacy Landmarks Program I write this letter on my own behalf as an expression of my concerns. In no way do I intend to suggest I am the only one impacted. The specific picnic table is important to all of my parents’ children, childrenin-law, grandchildren, siblings, siblings-in-law, nieces, nephews, and other family members and friends. Many of whom still reside in Campbell River. I imagine others with existing dedications under this program would have similar concerns. I understand the city is considering limiting the duration of the dedication under this program to a 25 year lease. Our family since 2008 have had a single picnic table in the memory of both my mother and father, Bernie and Lolita Doherty. The city`s suggestions as to changes to the program cause me considerable concern for a number of reasons, including the following. The city would be unilaterally changing an agreement it made with me as executor of my parents’ wills.

Mountain national parks and comical border crossings

Alistair Taylor Out On A Limb

What I did on my summer vacation...Wow, it’s hard not to be an environmentalist travelling through the mountain parks of B.C., Alberta and Montana. The scenery is spectacular; which is no revelation, of course. It’s like saying Usain Bolt runs fast. I’m just back from a two week loop through Glacier National Park, B.C., Banff National Park, Alberta and Glacier (yes, there’s two) National Park, Montana. I called it my Glacier to Glacier Trip and man, if you want to see the crown jewels of this continent, you want to visit that cluster of protected areas in the mountains of B.C., Alberta and Montana. Go from Jasper National Park in the north

and down to Glacier National Park, Montana in the south. Why not continue on a little further south to Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks in Montana/Wyoming? The more well-known parks come easily to mind – Banff and Jasper, mainly. But on this trip, I decided to include one of the less-famous neighbours to Banff and Jasper. Having been to Glacier National Park (GNP) in Montana once before – and loving it – the intention on this trip was to go back. Having to drive out there anyway, we decided to go through Banff but we discovered there’s a Glacier National Park in B.C. too. Feeling a little unpatriotic having been to GNP Montana but never to GNP BC,

we included three night’s camping there. We were not disappointed, it’s a beautiful mountain park in Rogers Pass and it’s less crowded than Banff. Great hiking. Border interrogation...I have to relate my encounter with a U.S. Customs officer at Port of Piegan border crossing at Carway, Alberta. We rolled up to the booth to face a stern-looking officer who asked us the usual standard questions after we handed over our passports: where we from, do we have any citrus fruits, etc. Then he asked me what I do for a living in Campbell River. I told him I was a newspaper editor. And then he asked me if I had ever been arrested and I told him no. Then he hit me

with: “I find that hard to believe! You’re a newspaper editor and you’ve never been arrested!?” I burst out laughing, the comment was so unexpected (it was delivered gruffly but definitely tongue in cheek). My wife piped up with “It’s just a small town newspaper.” All I could do was shrug helplessly. I almost felt like adding, “I’m sorry. I’ll try harder.” So, to be believable to US Customs, I’ll have to be jailed for something. I’m sure the Mounties could help me out with that. Our entertaining officer then had me grinning again when he asked “What’re you doin’ way out here!?” I told him we were on holiday on the way to Glacier National Park.

Landmarks: City’s insensitivity is amplified Continued from A8

The city does not have the right to unilaterally change existing agreements; if I am wrong on this point, it would be unethical for the city to unilaterally change existing agreements. If the city wants to change the agreement, or even withdraw the availability of an agreement, for newcomers then that would be a very different consideration. We would have to take that into consideration if we were looking to honour another loved one in the future. The city comes across as making deaths of loved ones into a commercial enterprise. When the city needed picnic tables and park benches, people were invited to financially contribute. The individuals did it as a memorial to a loved one; the city comes across as having done it for financial reasons only (i.e., people

subsidizing the cost of picnic tables and benches so as to make them affordable for the city to install). By unilaterally terminating existing agreements and allowing others to come in to take over the legacy landmarks, the city’s insensitivity is amplified. The city would then come across as preferring a continuing stream of income from the continuing stream of the deaths of loved ones; the landmarks would be but a necessary byproduct the city has to tolerate to extract money out of people’s wallets. My parents were cremated. The picnic table dedicated to their memory serves for us the function a gravesite would serve for others. The city comes across as having poorly planned the initial program and now wants to remedy its oversights at the emotional and financial expense of

those who rightly made use of the program. Any such corrections need to properly come at the expense of the city. The city had no obligation to make the existing program available; presumably it chose to do so on the basis of a program it designed taking into consideration its resources and obligations. The city has no obligation to make this program available to newcomers (including us in respect of memorials for others in the future). It has to choose whether to do so taking into consideration its present and future resources. Resources it has already committed in relation to existing memorials should not properly be counted as resources available to the city. Should any steps be taken to remove or substantially alter the dedication to the memory of my parents or to the program which autho-

rizes the dedication to exist, I require that you notify me appropriately in advance. This will allow me to serve such court documents on the city as I believe are warranted. Let this letter serve as notice that if the city makes any changes without allowing this opportunity, I will rely upon this letter in response to any argument the city may make about the costs of then undoing any changes it has made. I am not so naïve as to believe anything

is forever. That aside, the callous manner in which the city has considered unilaterally changing its obligations is reprehensible. For many of us, these landmarks/memorials are the equivalent of g ravesites. Any alteration to the duration of the landmarks/ memorials should be considered along with a consideration to limiting the duration of gravesites. This issue impacts me tremendously. Barbara L.

Pedestrians risk their lives on Petersen, says councillor KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Coun. Ron Kerr says people are putting their lives at risk every time they walk along the narrow shoulder of winding Petersen Road and the city needs to do something about it. He said the area poses a major safety concer n that needs to be addressed now, rather than wait for a re-build of Willis and Petersen roads – a project that has been on the city’s radar but pending available funding. “I’ve watched our citizens risk their lives daily on these roads and this cannot continue,” said Kerr

during a council meeting Aug. 14. “Our new Master Transportation Plan has highlighted the infrastructure deficiencies in this area, but it doesn’t have to be a high-priced option to make a difference.” Kerr wanted city staff to look into and report back on the feasibility of putting in a gravel sidewalk and bike path along Petersen and Willis roads, using the same contractor to do both the design and build of the infrastructure in order to save costs. Coun. Claire Moglove said while she could appreciate the safety concerns, there’s no easy fix.

She said three years ago council tried to address the same issues and received a report from city staff that it would cost $1.2 million to pave the shoulders on Petersen, Willis and Cheviot roads, money the city does not have. “The gist of that report at that time was that because Petersen a n d Wi l l i s r o a d s are rural roads and because they’re fairly narrow and because they have the ditches, it is not an inexpensive matter,” Moglove said. “I don’t have a problem with staff updating that report and widening it to include the option of a bike path but we have enquired

on this in the past and there does not seem to be any inexpensive way to deal with it.” Kerr said he’s concerned with what he perceives as inaction on the part of the city. “Three years ago this report was made and we’re still at the same point,” he said. “I’d like to see it move along so we’re not looking at the same situation in another three years.” Moglove countered that while she understood Kerr’s concerns, the city’s not in a position to undertake improvements that would address them. “The reason we’re still in the same spot is

Homeless shelter proposed KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The city’s Homelessness Coalition is proposing to build a 30-unit suppor tive housing facility for the city’s most vulnerable. Paul Mason made the announcement on behalf of the coalition at a city council meeting Aug. 28. “We are now committed to producing a minimum 30-unit facility that is co-ed, supported and consistent with a housing first model,” Mason said. “We have hired a contractor who is connecting with local social service agencies, BC Housing, CMHC (Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation), federal, provincial and local government rep-

resentatives.” The housing first model is focused on harm reduction through the provision of permanent low-barrier, supportive housing. The goal is to immediately house people who are homeless no matter what their situation, whether they engage in substance abuse or they struggle with mental illness. Research shows that communities that use this model have much more success at addressing homelessness. Mason said he’s eager to get the new facility off the ground and the contractor will be helping the coalition to find a suitable piece of property, community partners, funding models and other information

necessary to move the project forward. The only thing Mason still needed was a guarantee from council that the funding would be there. “To move ahead we require confirmation from council that the $319,644 that came to the city from VIHA ( Va n c o u ve r I s l a n d H e a l t h Au t h o r i t y ) through the Strathcona Regional District is allocated and available to the Campbell River Homeless Coalition for the specific purpose of developing housing for homeless people in Campbell River,” Mason said. “What we’re asking for is that the funding be held by the city for the Campbell River Homelessness Coalition so that we can use that

as leverage, to build a 30-unit or even buy a property. We have to have leverage. If we go to BC Housing and say ‘we’d like to do this’ they’re going to say ‘what’s your contribution?”. To be able to have that funding to use, for us is priceless.” Council then made a motion to hold onto the funding and keep the money available to the coalition for the housing project. The city’s efforts to get the homeless off the streets took off in February 2009, when the Campbell River Homelessness Task Force was formed. The goal of the task force was to develop affordable long-term housing for 50 people for each of the next five consecutive years.

back with another report on the extent of the work that would need to be done, but felt council was not in a position to have city staff come back with a budget request for improvements. Kerr argued that he wasn’t asking for a lot. “My request is for a gravel path, not a paved path, so we are not looking at the Cadillac model,” he said. “If you spent any time driving along Willis Road and watch the citizens walking on a two-foot wide path on the very side of the roadway, you would

push this up to a priority item. This is a major safety issue that we’ve let go for far too long.” In the end, council agreed to ask city staff to come back with a report, before the end of November, outlining the costs of a gravel sidewalk and bike path along Petersen Road north to 14th Avenue and along Willis Road out to the Inland Highway.

Learn the history of the Tyee Club Travel back in time with a veteran rower of the Campbell River’s famous Tyee pool. On Sunday, Sept. 23, the Museum at Campbell River will host a fascinating talk on the History of the Tyee Club. Veteran rower Norm Lee, who has 35 seasons of rowing experience, will deliver the talk based on the photographs currently being shown in the exhibit Fishing Old School, the Tyee Club of British Columbia at the Museum. For more than 120 years sports fishermen from all over the world have made their way to the shores of Discovery Passage, near the mouth of the Camp-

bell River, to fish for tyee salmon. When the Tyee Club was formed in 1925, its five founding directors included one from Vancouver, two from the United States, and the Governor of Burmuda. This was an era when distance posed real barriers to communication and travel. The club’s international membership says much about the re putation of the waters that spawned the organization. To qualify for membership in the Tyee Club, fishermen must land, from a rowboat, a spring salmon weighing not less than 30 lbs. using regulation tackle. Tackle specifications

include line with a 25 lb. breaking weight and an artificial lure equipped with a single hook. Today these hooks are barbless. But the devil is in the details. Close reading of the rules reveals a few surprises. No shooting of tyee, no harpoons, no help from seals in the dispatching of salmon, to name just a few. There are, of

course, stories behind each of these rules, all part of a rich (and still growing) legacy of fish stories. Want to hear more? Come out to the Museum on September 23 and discover a unique aspect of Campbell River’s history. The cost for the talk is $6. Call the Museum at 250-287-3103 to reserve a seat.

Many adults struggle with learning technology and the Internet. Computer use encourages family and social connections, easy access to health and medical information and brain engagement. The How Do I? program encourages individuals with little or no computer experience to begin learning how to operate a computer and become comfortable with technology. More tutors are needed for this popular and valuable program. Adult Tutors work one on one with learners, offering additional support to facilitated materials. The above program is free of charge, thanks to funding from the Government of Canada and the Province of British Columbia. Training for volunteer tutors will be held in September 2012. If you are interested in becoming a tutor for either program contact Kat Eddy for more information.

The week of September 9 to 15, 2012 ARIES

LIBRA

You are in need of a boost to your selfesteem. You will feel better about yourself by taking care of some simple details, like buying a new outďŹ t or experimenting with a new hairstyle.

You will be surrounded by people this week, so try and look your best as often as you can. Your elegance will enable you to widen your circle of friends.

TAURUS

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the type of person who tends to take on too much. Work on delegating this week, and you will see a reduction in stress.

GEMINI You will be able to express yourself with distinction. You may also cause some jealousy by being the centre of attention.

CANCER With a bit of imagination you could quite easily generate another source of revenue for yourself. This will likely involve an enjoyable activity that requires a lot of creativity.

LEO There seems to be a lot of action on the horizon for you this week. If you have young children, there will probably be a few adjustments to make at home in order to keep the peace.

VIRGO This is a good week to recharge your batteries and meet some needs for relaxation. Try to visit your massage therapist or your esthetician to treat yourself.

You might stumble onto a great vacation bargain, although you should perhaps wait a bit before asking your boss for time oďŹ&#x20AC;.

CAPRICORN A new diet would be really good for you. You might be tempted to change the way you eat after some type of excess. Expect some really positive changes at work.

MEDIA RIDERS LIVE THE STORY Journalists Kyle Slavin and Erin Glazier join Tour de Rock team Arnold Lim Black Press

hey started off reporting about Tour de Rock, and now journalists Kyle Slavin and Erin Glazier are part of the story. Slavin’s journey from writing stories about the Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock to being part of it started in a high school gymnasium. At Reynolds secondary school to cover the event for the Saanich News last year, Slavin watched as 115 shaved “Raising money heads and a giant cheque more than $80,000 for kids with cancer for greeted Tour riders has a much bigger alongside ear-splitting cheers. The event moved reward than just the 25-year-old reporter crossing the finish so much he made an important decision that line.” day. – Erin Glazier, “There was not a dry CTV News eye in the gym. It was the most electric feeling being a part of something so monumental,” he said. “I told the school principal then and there I want to be a part of the team.” One year and 3,000 kilometres later, he is one of two media riders months into gruelling three-day-a-week training sessions for Tour de Rock, where motivation comes in the form of cancer survivors like seven-year-old Daisy Irwin. “(Daisy) has gone through a hell that no baby or child should ever go through. I

Arnold Lim/Black Press

Kyle Slavin and Erin Glazier are ready to roll for Tour de Rock respect her immensely for what she has gone through and what she has overcome,” Slavin said. “My whole reasoning behind wanting to do the tour is being on the side of cancer everyone fights for – the optimism, the hope, the getting into remission.” Seven years later, Irwin is in remission after being diagnosed with two forms of leukemia as an infant and given a five per cent chance at survival. It is a reminder why the pediatric cancer research is so important to Slavin and Glazier. Glazier described her choice to join the team as a “no-brainer” after seeing her colleagues experience the life-changing ride. “Riding a bike becomes a menial task when

you look at the big picture and see how much you are helping (cancer patients) have a normal life,” said Glazier, a CTV reporter based in Victoria. “When you are going up a hill and hurting it is nothing compared to what those kids go through when they go through the treatment. That is a big motivator for us.” With only weeks to go, the 28-year-old Glazier is excited to meet the families and volunteers along the way as she makes the gruelling trip from Port Alice to Victoria over the two-week, 1,000-kilometre bike ride, Sept. 23 to Oct. 5. “The best is yet to come. Raising money for kids with cancer has a much bigger reward then just crossing the finish line,” Glazier said.

» Puppy Tips

One of our more popular pets are the smaller rodents, such as Hamsters and Gerbils. Both can be very good pets, however their behaviour is very different. Hamsters are a nocturnal animal, so they sleep all day and party all night...and trust me, if they have a wheel in their cage they will party all night! Hamsters are best kept singly in a wire cage or one of the Habitrail plastic cages that help keep the mess in. You can have a simple cage with one Sarah Kirk room and add a sleeping area called a den. Owner Hamsters live for up to 2 years and usually the male is the better pet. One thing to keep in mind with hamsters is that they have VERY poor eyesight, so learning how to wake up your hamster before you pick him up is very important to avoid a bite! Gerbils...by far my favorite! Gerbils are awake for times during the day and night....so you will see activity with your gerbil during waking hours! Cage requirements are the same as you would have for a hamster, but in addition to food and water, gerbils need a “dust bath”. Offer your gerbil a dust bath a few times a week and watch the joy on their face. Average life span of a gerbil is 3-4 years and they rarely bite! We breed our own gerbils! Clean the cage weekly, by washing out the cage with dishsoap and water, dry out, add new pine or aspen shavings, fresh food and water daily and love unconditionally!

S T R E P X E What is an AED?

850F 12th Ave., Campbell River 250.287.2310

An AED is an Automated External Deﬁbrillator which is a compact, self contained machine designed to assist in resuscitating a person in cardiac arrest. An AED analyzes the heart and determines if there is a normal or abnormal heart rhythm. If the AED determines that there is an abnormal hearth rhythm, the AED uses electrical energy from a battery pack to interrupt the abnormal heart rhythm and allow Jennifer Comeau a normal heart rhythm to resume. An Branch Manager AED will not shock a normal, beating heart. An AED, when applied within one to two minutes of collapse from cardiac arrest can improve the chances of survival up to 90% and for every minute that an AED is delayed, the chances of survival decrease by 10%. After approximately twelve minutes, the chances of survival for cardiac arrest are less than 5%. As a result, an AED can drastically increase a person’s chances of surviving and recovering from cardiac arrest.

» Insurance

Why does my wife need insurance if she isn’t the main “breadwinner”? According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics a mom/housewife’s labor is worth upwards of $79,000 per year. Of course, should something happen to the “housewife”, the “breadwinner” can do some of this work. But then, cutting back hours at work to be “Mr. Darlene Garat Mom” would result in lower income Financial Advisor and still less time to spend with family during a difﬁcult time. You can protect a stay-at-home mom/wife, even without a taxable income, in case of serious injury or illness, or loss of life with a simple bundled life policy, giving the family a ﬁnancially safety cushion should something happen. You may think the grandparents are chomping at the bit to take over the raising of your kids, and your mom can’t wait to start doing your laundry all over again – and they probably would for a short term – but they worked their whole lives to enjoy retirement and should be allowed to do so.

Food sensitivity testing (electrodermal sensitivity testing or EDS) can provide for you a list of foods that are not doing your body much good. The results, which you receive immediately after the test is completed, include a list of foods you should try to avoid Dr. Ingrid Pincott ND Naturopathic Physician for two months. We then recommend re-testing to identify foods that can be added back to your diet. When you avoid foods to which you are sensitive, you are in essence providing a rest for your body and helping to stop the vicious cycle of food addictions. This helps people lose weight and become more energetic. Carmen, our technician, can provide this service without you having to see me ﬁrst. Don’t forget that many of our tests and visits may be covered by your extended health plan. If you need more help then you can make an appointment with me later so that I can develop a custom Foundation of Health program for you. Best of health to you!

A spousal Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) can be a good choice when there is a substantial disparity in taxable income between spouses. If spouse A earns $100,000 a year, and spouse B earns $30,000, a spousal RRSP can result in Peter Garat considerable tax savings at Certiﬁed Financial Planner retirement. Set up properly, the higher income spouse is named contributor and gets the tax break now. With no contributions in the last 3 years prior to redeeming, the income stream in retirement will be paid out based on spouse B’s lower tax bracket. This is especially effective if the high income earner also has a pension. If spouse B is has no earnings, the spousal can be strategically “melted down” to create a non-registered portfolio for greater income ﬂexibility (with minimal tax repercussions) during those active retirement years.

The Beneﬁts of Salmon Oil

» Veterinarian

» Naturopathic Physician

It is back to school time and I want to make a fresh start towards a healthier me. How do I get started?

My dog won’t come when I call her….help!! It’s bafﬂing how many people assume their dog should voluntarily run to them when they’re called – even though they’ve spent zero time actually “teaching” the dog what the command means…..dogs certainly don’t arrive in our lives pre-programmed with various behaviors we want them to do. Start in the house (where your dog is safe and there are fewer distractions), call to her in an upbeat tone, using her name only……most dogs will want to come and see why you’re so happy and calling their name…..reward her with Cathy Merrithew a tasty treat. At the same time, give verbal praise, telling her how wonderful she is. Let her wander away again, then repeat and don’t forget the reward. Keep doing this randomly throughout the day, and when you’re sure your dog will respond, add the command “Here!”, and reward. It’s a good idea to change your command to a different word if you’ve already conditioned your dog that “Come” means nothing. Next move to your backyard, and do the same thing calling her and rewarding upon her arrival. Gradually keep practicing this in different locations, before you actually have to depend on it if your dog is off leash. By practicing this in situations where your dog can’t help but respond, you’re conditioning her that coming to you is the best thing in the world! Always reward with a treat, this way she will never have to think about whether or not it will pay off for her to come running in. Never call her to you and then do something she dislikes – like trimming her nails. Go to her instead and lead her to where you need to do that.

It is salmon mania in Campbell River! This glorious fish is beneficial not just to us but also to our four legged companions. Salmon oil contains high amounts of omega-III fatty acids which is an essential fatty acid for building and developing skin and coat health. Salmon oil can be helpful as an anti-inflammatory Dr. Peter Woodward supplement for arthritic dogs and cats. It can also help keep the brain functioning sharper in aging dogs. It is recommended for dogs with skin allergies and to help various skin conditions heal faster. There has also been a recent study that salmon oil is a cancer fighting supplement that most veterinary oncologists recommend. A typical dose of salmon oil is 1000mg per 25lbs of the dog’s weight or a 500mg capsule per cat. If using it to help treat a specific condition, work with your veterinarian or contact us at Campbell River Veterinary Hospital for further information.

You are not alone in this matter. We have found that gold jewelery (some of it quite dated) is not high on tthe list of things that a young person needs. A large number of our clients are turning that old gold or silver into cash and buying things such as, a new computer for school, new outfits for that first job or new furniture for their first apartme apartment. Now those items are useful and seem to be a bbig hit. Give us a call if we can help.

The customer’s ﬁrst thought is to keep it around the house, or garbage it.

Stacey Marsh Executive Director

A high priority piece of equipment for the Campbell River Hospital may take years to be purchased or never be purchased at all. This is where you, our donors help the Hospital Foundation make a difference. Foundation funds allow our hospital to purchase vital medical equipment that may have taken years to be purchased or not purchased at all. With your support we are able to help provide our community with better care and attract and maintain top quality health care professionals, doctors and specialists.

We determine which equipment to purchase each year by working closely with our local hospital staff and management; annually each department determines the equipment that they need and its priority within the department. Then each item is prioritized and submitted to VIHA. It is then reviewed with the three other community hospitals; Port Alberni, Comox and Cowichan Valley.

In many cases, a broken down vacuum can be repaired. What is junk to you is valuable to us. In some cases, we can give you a store credit if you leave your old vacuum cleaner.

To space spa bar or Not space bar? That to spa is the Question. Some people still think that the space bar is the mo most important key on the keyboard when wh it comes to formatting a document. Sharilyn Irving People use tthe space bar to center text on a pag page, they use the space bar to create ind indents, and they use the space bar to create tables and columns.This This, I guarantee, drives everyone who works in a print shop, copy shop, oor any kind of service bureau that deals with customers ﬁles, crazy. The space ba bar is used for one thing and one thing only – to separate two words. In MS Word, Publisher, and every other text publishing/creation program, the there is the ability to format text, which includes centering. Also, you can use the tab button on your computer to create indents and most pro programs these days give you the option of creating tables to make tabl tables for your data, lists and recipes. The reason I stress using these options as opposed to using the space bar is tthat when you take a document in to a service bureau for printing, the t formatting stays truer to what you had intended. This will ens ensure that your prints, copies, etc. will look like what you had in mind rather than have words all over the space.

ABOUT HEATHER:

We started the year off well with sell to list ratios of 51% in March and 52% inApril.However as summer approached sales started to slow. During the month of August there were 75 Single Family homes Listed while only 29 were reported sold making the sell to list ratio for the month a disappointing Jenna Nichol 39%. However, the average sale REALTOR® price of Single Family homes for the month of August was just over $301,000 which is an 8% increase from the same month last year. These sales averaged 94% of list price meaning the ones that sold were priced right. On average they took about 100 days to sell. If you are thinking of buying, now is a Great time to do that. There are plenty of things lying ahead for Campbell River which may causes prices to start to climb. If you are a seller, hang in there. If this year is anything like last year we will have a busy fall!

Yes, we have been seeing customers have a lot of success using nematodes. Nematodes are a multi-cellular beneficial parasitic round worm that targets pest insect larvae of mainly Sciarid flies (fungus gnats) Christa Fernau and Thrips. The soft bodied pest insect larvae serve as a host for the beneficial nematode. The nematodes hunt down the harmful larvae and destroy them by entering the host pest insect as an infective juvenile. Each infective juvenile Nematode carries a bacterium in the gut, which it releases into the body cavity of the target pest after penetration, killing the host in approximately 48 hours. Once these beneficial nematodes are introduced into the medium (sawdust or blocks), the population growth of these nematodes depends mainly on the type and condition of the medium, temperature, and humidity. * You can apply the Nematodes using a watering can or a sprayer.

tion to the 220 oil tankers operating annually from Kitimat, 432 LNG tankers will share the Northern Route. Gunn’s colleagues calculate the probability of a spill over a 50 year period is 30 per cent while Enbridge’s calculations, based on more generous scenarios, place that same risk at only 18 per cent. The Enbridge submission describes the wind conditions along the route from Kitimat to the open ocean as similar to those encountered in Norway and Scotland. “Contrary to what is stated in the Enbridge

A study conducted by independent professional engineers has found that Enbridge’s proposal to ship heavy oil sands bitumen from Kitimat to China is “too risky to accept.” An oil tanker spill on B.C.’s coast is inevitable if the Enbridge pipeline project proceeds, says local retired engineer Brian Gunn. Cleaning up the heavy, gooey bitumen would be an impossible nightmare, Gunn and two engineering colleagues have warned the National Energy Board’s (NEB) joint review panel studying the proposed Northern Gateway Pipeline Project. Gunn, who is based at Strathcona Park Lodge and is president of the BC Wilderness Tourism Association, told the Mirror, “There will be spills. Even Enbridge acknowledges that. The question is when and how often.” Gunn’s brief to the review panel was coauthored by engineers Ricardo Foschi and Bob Sexsmith. In the course of their research Gunn spent 17 days in July aboard a 19-foot inflatable travelling to coastal settlements between Bella Bella and Port Simpson. He met with many First

Nations leaders, whale researchers and other stakeholders. T he proposed oil tanker sailing route between Kitimat and the Pacific Ocean is 160 nautical miles and includes narrow channels, sharp bends and high risks associated with heavy fog, winds and snow. The transportation of bitumen by super tankers along this section of coastline is fraught with risks, Gunn says. Bitumen is produced when tar and sand are separated in Alberta. When it is ultimately upgraded, in Alberta or China, it becomes light crude and petroleum coke. Gunn and his team of engineers are challenging a risk analysis conducted by Enbridge that finds the levels of safety for this project are not substantially different from those already accepted in other parts of the world. Gunn says the Enbridge report is flawed and the estimated levels of risk do not reflect the realities of shipping on the B.C. coastline. For example, Enbridge has not taken into account the fact that the oil tankers will be sharing narrow channels with Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) tankers from separate LNG terminals near Kitimat. It is estimated that, in addi-

Left, the Storm’s Scott Salberg fights for the puck against Taylor Gray of the Oceanside Generals in Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League action Friday night at Rod Brind’Amour Arena. The game was the season opener for both teams. Above, last year’s Bantam Tyee rep team presents its championship banner during a pre-game ceremony before Friday’s match.

Storm season opens with a bang It’s still early, but the Campbell River Storm are undefeated. The Storm opened its 2012/2013 Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League campaign Friday night at Rod Brind’Amour Arena, coming off a 2-0 preseason. The Stor m opened

the scoring in Friday’s game off a James Severs goal, following an opening ceremony that recognized last year’s provincial champion Bantam Tyees rep team at centre ice. Mayor Walter Jakeway got things started with a ceremonial puck drop. The first period saw both teams

held scoreless, with the Storm outshooting the Generals 12-8. In the second period, Severs lit the lamp off Jesse Spooner’s errant pass. Five minutes later, the Generals pulled even while on the powerplay. The Storm then showed off impressive defensive skills, killing off a

seven-minute penalty. In the third, the Stor m’s Alex Grupe pulled the home team ahead 2-1 with just three and a half minutes remaining. Oceanside once again put themselves on even ground with a backhand that beat Storm goalie Jordan Salas with 40 sec-

onds to go. That forced overtime, which solved nothing and both teams headed to the shoot out. Salas stopped all three Oceanside shooters, while Oceanside goalie Alex Mastrodonato stopped the first two Storm shooters. The Storm’s third shooter, Carsen McCulloch, was

the hero, beating Mastrodonato and sealing a 3-2 win for the Storm. On Saturday, the Stor m travelled to Parksville for a rematch against the Generals. Storm goalie Curtis Bagnall came up big and notched a shutout in a 2-0 win. Scoring for the Storm were Robbie

Christensen and Mikey Markland. With the wins, the Storm are 2-0 and sit tied atop the North Division standings with this year’s expansion team the Nanaimo Buccaneers. The Storm are back in Campbell River Friday night to take on Nanaimo at 7:30 p.m.

Storey Creek is number 1 Storey Creek Golf Course has been ranked one of the top golf courses in B.C. and #1 on Vancouver Island by Inside Golf. The magazine did a poll of more than 200 golf pros and ranked Storey Creek tenth on its list of the top 20 courses. That puts it in the company of Shaughnessy, Capilano, Big Sky, Tobiano, Predator Ridge and Vancouver golf courses. Storey Creek also earned the title “2012 re gional platinum medallist,” making it the top rated track on Vancouver Island.

“ We ’ re e c s t at i c, ” says club general manager Tom Robinson. “Particularly because club pros around B.C. have done the ranking. We’ve known for some time that we’re one of the most talked about courses on the Island.” The PGA of BC partnered with Inside Golf to conduct the first annual rankings for golf courses across B.C. Association members were polled online and via telephone to make their choices. Over the six week period more than one-third of the association’s 650 members responded.

Tidemark embarks on a challenge A message from Society President Kin Fowler For 25 years, the Tidemark Theatre has enriched the cultural life of Campbell River and the North Island with professional artists in theatre, dance, music, visual arts and media arts without our community members having to travel to major centers. Hundreds of local young dancers have thrilled audiences with their recitals, local theatre groups have entertained us with plays and musicals, and singers and musicians have displayed their talents on our stage. The Tidemark Theatre Society is celebrating the purchase of the Van Isle Movie Theatre by the City of Campbell River, the initial fundraising campaign by the “Friends of the Tidemark”, and the dedication of all Tidemark Society members and volunteers to transform it into the cultural heart of our community. We

applaud and thank the City of Campbell River for its past and continuing support. Since the grand opening in 1987, the Tidemark Theatre has had minimal upgrades to its existing facility. Over ﬁve years ago, the Board of Directors initiated the Tidemark Theatre Revitalization Project. Phase I of the Project, which was funded by Coast Sustainability Trust, Rotary Club of Campbell River, Maclean Foundation, the City of Campbell River and the fundraising efforts of the Tidemark Theatre Society was completed with the installation of a new state-of-the art sound system in the summer of 2009. Now the Tidemark Theatre Society has embarked upon its next challenge. Phase II of the Tidemark Theatre Revitalization Project

encompasses major capital equipment upgrades – electronic online ticketing system, computerized stage lighting, new house projection system, and the much needed replacement of our 65 year old seats, which were originally installed in the Van Isle Theatre in 1947. The Tidemark Theatre Society has been successful in acquiring two grants from Coast Sustainability Trust ($153,000) and Island Coastal Economic Trust ($153,000). Both grants are contingent on acquiring matching funding from other sources in order to complete the Tidemark Revitalization Project which is valued over $600,000. The Tidemark Theatre Society initiated a major fundraising campaign in January 2012 called the “Tidemark 25 Capital Campaign” to secure our matching contribu-

tion and demonstrate community support for our grant applications. To date, more than $73,000 has been donated by the community in spite of the recent downturn in our local economy and challenges to our historic venue. A very special thank you is extended to the co-chairs of the Tidemark 25 Capital Campaign, Christina Vokey and Denise MitchellHills, for their leadership and tireless efforts. A special thank you to the core members of the Tidemark 25 Committee – Roy Grant, Zena Williams, Donna Magowan, Mark Eikeland, Marlene Wray, Chris Kozakowski, Leslie MacLennan, Marcia McKay, Darryn Strigga, Markie Price, and Kealy Donaldson. Each of you has dedicated countless hours and passion to this project. The contribution of all our volun-

TIDEMARK

teers has been invaluable and we are grateful for all their support. The Tidemark Theatre Society would like to express its gratitude to each and every individual, and all business and community service groups who have contributed to the Tidemark 25 Capital Campaign. We would like our express our appreciation to our renters who allowed us to bring awareness of our campaign during their events. We would

also like to thank our seat sponsors, audience members, and the community of Campbell River for your past support and recent donations to this project. All community contributions are extremely important to revitalize our performing arts theatre and to enrich the cultural life of Campbell River and the North Island for generations to come.

25 years later, the hard work begins In the dead of the winter of 1985 Campbell River city councillor Patricia Emery lit a cultural ﬁre under City Hall when she suggested that the Van Isle Theatre and the Courier Upper Islander buildings be acquired by the city and converted to a performing arts theatre and library. In the 1960s and ‘70s a performing arts centre was little more than a dream here. But in the fall of 1985 when the Van Isle Theatre closed Emery’s vision turned into a remarkable community project. The city launched negotiations to acquire the property and less than a year later the “Friends of the Tide-

mark” volunteer support group was formed. Susan O’Connor was named its first chair. In 1987 when the theatre opened O’Connor said: “The restoration of the Van Isle Theatre has brought a dramatic complex to our community, one which has all the trappings of a much larger theatre while fulfilling the needs of the greater Campbell River area.” The grand opening of the renamed theatre in October of ‘87 was a marathon of entertainment that spanned a week. The Saturday night gala finale was a standing room only affair during which then-mayor Bob Ostler

observed that “Campbell River now has one of the best small theatres on Vancouver Island.” The gala was dedicated to the city’s best known artistic icon Sybil Andrews Morton whose lino cuts have appeared in museums and collections around the globe. The packed house enjoyed performances by pianist Ann Wilson, the Chris Andrew Trio, the Foreshore Music Company and singers Michael Williams, Fred Hanson, Christina Gordon and Barbara McIntosh Livingston. Many of the performances were accompanied by dancers from the Heather Gordon School of Dance.

Soon after the grand opening the Tidemark Theatre Society was created and a management agreement between the society and the city was signed. Twenty-ﬁve years later the 435-seat art deco performing arts venue with its bright pink exterior is notably one the most prominent buildings downtown. However, as the local economy has faced signiﬁcant challenges in recent years, so has this historic venue. Despite being a municipallyowned facility, the city has not had additional funds for much needed upgrades. In 2010, under the leadership of a newly elected, highly

progressive board of directors, the Tidemark Theatre Society embarked on a signiﬁcant capital upgrade project. The goal of the Tidemark Theatre Revitalization Project is to acquire specialized equipment that will enhance the quality and standards of the facility and improve the theatre’s capacity to stage artistic presentations. Phase I of the project,

which encompassed the addition of a new house sound system, was successfully completed in 2010. Phase II incorporates capital upgrades comprised of new house seating, online ticketing, computerized stage lighting, and a house projection system, and will be implemented over a one year time frame beginning late this year.

The Tidemark table is set but still needs trimmings The table is set for the Tidemark Theatre to embark on a series of game changing initiatives that will position the theatre as the best performance facility in the region. But, preparing the theatre to meet its ﬁnancial goals is not simply a boardroom exercise. This is a community endeavour. Think of this ﬁscal table as a pot luck dinner to which friends of the theatre are being asked to contribute. The co-chair of the “Tidemark 25 Capital Campaign” Denise Mitchell-Hills says the

current 25th anniversary fundraising drive offers a unique opportunity for friends of the theatre “to support an important social, cultural and economic initiative in Campbell River and the North Island.” The Tidemark Theatre Society has successfully acquired grants from the Coast Sustainability Trust ($153,000) and from the Island Coastal Economic Trust ($153,000). Both are contingent on acquiring matching funding from the community. To date more than $75,000 has

been raised. The revitalization, which has been proceeding in two phases, brings renewed interest to one of Campbell River`s historical landmarks while protecting and enhancing this venue for the community. Phase I, the 2010 installation of a cutting edge sound system, was funded by Coast Sustainability Trust, Rotary Club of Campbell River, Maclean Foundation, the City of Campbell River, and the fundraising efforts of the Tidemark Theatre Society.

Phase II upgrades will include replacement of the seats originally installed in 1947, stateof-the-art computerized stage lighting, online ticketing, and an inhouse projection system and monitors. Mitchell-Hills says: “Phase II of the revitalization cannot proceed until we demonstrate community support by fundraising from individuals, community groups and local businesses. “The grant funding is contingent on demonstrating community

support via a capital campaign. The overall goal of the Tidemark 25 Capital Campaign is to raise a total of $250,000 before December 31, 2012. “As part of our fundraising efforts, the Tidemark Theatre

Society is also committed to naming the seats for a value of $500 each as stated in the funding applications.” Mitchell-Hills invites potential donors to contact the fundraising team at tidemark25@ tidemarktheatre.com.

Big Pink has a rosy future On Campbell River’s Shoppers Row the Tidemark Theatre is hard to miss. Many fondly refer to it as “Big Pink,” a ﬁtting moniker on its 25th birthday as the stage is being set for a very rosy future. This anniversary year marks the launch of a series of revitalization initiatives that will improve the physical conditions inside the theatre for artistic creation, production and presentation. Tidemark Managing Director Kim EmsleyLeik says: “The changes that are happening are central to the success of the theatre. If these changes didn’t happen we would have a tough

time if we have equipment that is outdated and we can’t service shows because we’ve got equipment that can’t do productions from a technical standpoint.” From an audience perspective one of the most visible and comforting innovations will be new theatre seating. The changes will be remarkable and will include improved accessibility through the addition of dedicated handicapped and bariatric seating, improved visibility and site lines for audiences as a result of staggered seat placement and greater comfort due to the ergonomic seat design. The new seating will

also provide a wider variety of presentation formats with improved versatility of ﬂoor space. And, as an added bonus, it will result in cost savings by eliminating the need to repair and maintain dated seating components. Stage lighting upgrades will further enhance the audience’s theatrical experience by enabling improved artistic expression, quality of production and a greater variety of programming options. Technical upgrades will include a new computerized lighting console capable of operating LED lights that will improve safety for staff

who currently adjust the outdated lighting equipment utilizing the catwalk. It will also reduce set up time for shows with elaborate lighting requirements. A state-of-the-art projection system will enable the theatre to pro-

mote upcoming artistic presentations through digital channels, and to develop and expand new and existing ﬁlm and education partnerships. As well, the theatre will be able to introduce a wider variety of programming options that incorporate

multi-media and digital art. A larger screen will improve visibility for audience members who are visually impaired. Finally, the capital improvements also include the installation of TV monitors in the lobby. These monitors will provide artists with increased exposure and marketing opportunities through multi-media channels. “It’s a turning point. Now with the infusion of capital funding we have an opportunity to up the bar in our operations and move into operating at a more progressive level,” Emsley-Leik says.

TIDEMARK

A “new era” Tidemark goes online With 25 years under its belt, the Tidemark Theatre cannot afford to stand still when all about it there is change and innovation. Tidemark Managing Director Kim EmsleyLeik says the theatre society has a mandate to reach out to its audience and that audience is increasingly regional, increasingly reliant on the Internet and increasingly plugged into social media. While improvements are planned for inside the theatre ‘box,’ improvements are being introduced outside the ‘box’ that will allow the theatre to more effectively reach out to and serve its audience. One of the most important innovations is an online ticketing system that will beneﬁt audi-

ence, artists, staff and facility renters. The system will introduce a new level of convenience for audiences who will be able to purchase tickets online. It will also improve accessibility for members of the audience who have special needs. Emsley-Leik says the online component is “a turning point” in the evolution of the theatre. She says it represents a “new era” in which the Internet and social media like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube will play a big role in the growth of the theatre and its audience. “The online ticketing software allows us

to develop audiences online and that really is the future,” she says. Online ticketing will also be a plus for the theatre’s guest artists with its capacity to provide up-to-date ticket sales reports to tour

managers and facility renters through an online portal. It will also support and promote artists through offsite ticket sales. From an administrative viewpoint online ticketing will give

theatre staff the ability to capture valuable marketing data that will help in the development of strategically targeted programming that is culturally signiﬁcant and relevant to the community. Emsley-Leik says the introduction of online ticketing reﬂects the reality that the future of the Tidemark will be “about change and adaptation.” That means examining ways of taking the cultural experience to an audience that is increasingly regional and mobile. “Our market is no longer local. Our market is regional. We need the

ability to use technology to draw audiences that are coming from Duncan to Port Hardy. Without technology we have no connection to that broader audience. “If the world around us is changing and we are not adapting and changing our operating model to reﬂect what is more modern then the customer will stop buying. We must be in tune with our customers. We are servicing the public of the Campbell River area and if they are telling us that they want something we have to listen,” the managing director says. For example, youth in this area say they want a Campbell River’s Got Talent and, in fact, the theatre is planning such programming for the spring of 2013.

“Let’s enhance the Tidemark vision” A message from Mayor Walter Jakeway

Lingering in a moment of reminiscence, I recall the Tidemark Theatre used to be near the Firehall and Quinsam Medical Clinic. It was one of the ﬁrst buildings to begin the conversion of that portion of Shopper’s Row to a more cultural format and, being painted pink, it was even somewhat controversial in those days. The theatre has been a focal point for Campbell River and it will remain

a performing hub for many years to come. My vision for that area is to see a very tall and large teﬂon roof (Canada Place sail style) erected over Spirit Square and the street from the Bank of Montreal to the Royal Bank - right into the Library/Tidemark Plaza. As patrons exit the theatre they would remain under cover and there could be venues on the plaza, even at night and

on rainy days. Why a “sail tent?” It is a maritime theme and would serve as a gathering centre for the entire city. The ﬁrst thing that groups using Spirit Square do is put up a tent. Campbell River occasionally has wet weather or hot days and a large roof would allow use of the square many more days. At night the roof could be lit up with coloured lights. Maybe someday there could

even be a large digital screen. On Nov. 11 the city gathers in Remembrance and this structure would allow us to honour our history without getting soaked. Car shows and art shows would not have to worry. Campbell River’s downtown could become the event centre for mid-Vancouver Island. It all started with the visionaries of the Tidemark Theatre.

priced. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank you, volunteers! You are the heart of the Tidemark. We appreciate everything you do for the Tidemark Theatre Society, the artists that perform here, our patrons and our community,â&#x20AC;? Emsley-Leik says. The theatre volunteers are highly engaged members of the

community. The theatre society is currently looking for volunteers to assist as ushers, ticket takers and concession attendants. Help is also needed with merchandise sales, the 50/50 draw, administration, fundraising and postering. Volunteers must be at least 16 years old, a member of the Tide-

mark Theatre Society, willing to provide a criminal record check and willing to attend an orientation session. Volunteers often receive perks, special discounts on tickets and appreciation events. For further information please contact the Tidemark Theatre Society at volunteer@ tidemarktheatre.com.

Keep the curtain rising with your planned gift The Tidemark Theatre Society is asking friends of the theatre to consider making a lasting contribution through their wills or trusts. Managing Director Kim Emsley-Leik says: “Your gift costs you nothing now and you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing that your support for the Tidemark Theatre will live on in the future.” Legacy gifts can be made for a speciﬁc amount, for a percentage of the estate or even for a portion of

what remains of the estate once bequests to family and friends have been fulfilled. There are several options to consider. Donors can create a fund named in their honour. A bequest can be used at the discretion of the society to respond flexibly and creatively to future needs. Or, gifts can support specific needs such as programming, capital improvements, and student internships. “By leaving money or other assets to the society in your will or

trust, you can reduce your possible estate tax, so the cost to your family members can be signiﬁcantly less than the face value of the bequest,” Emsley-Leik says. “And you can rest assured that you can change your bequest at any time—if your circumstances change, or for any other reason.” The society strongly recommends that potential donors consult an attorney to prepare their wills or trust documents and supervise their execution.
