Air Canada loses dog destined for man battling cancer Kristen Douglas Campbell RiveR miRRoR

Duncan and Lynda White were in Courtenay filling up their gas tank when their cell phone rang with the bad news. Lynda listened as former dog breeder Jutta Kulic told the couple their new pet was missing. Larry, a two-year-old Italian greyhound who was being flown from San Francisco to Victoria where the Whites would be waiting, had escaped from Air Canada handlers at the San Francisco Airport. The Whites, both of Campbell River, were set to adopt Larry who had belonged to a friend of Kulic’s who died of cancer. Lynda said Larry seemed the perfect fit for their family. “We lost our oldest Italian greyhound in June, he passed away from liver cancer; he was 13,” Lynda said. “He was Duncan’s constant companion. This dog seemed to have certain mannerisms similar to him.” About a year ago, Duncan was

Dog: Hopes for a companion

also diagnosed with cancer and the couple set out to find a new pet to brighten their lives. At the dog show in Nunns Creek Park in August, the Whites met up with a friend who was working as a judge. She put the Whites in touch with Kulic who was looking for a home for Larry. The young Italian greyhound seemed the perfect match. “Duncan is also suffering from liver cancer, we’re not sure what kind of time we have,” Lynda said. “We had hopes for this dog to be a companion to him. Time is not on our side.” But their plans were turned upside down after Larry escaped from his secure crate at the San Francisco airport. Jutta, who lives in Ohio, was in Sacramento, Calif. for a dog show but drove Larry to San Francisco, where she dropped him off at the airport Oct. 7. The plan was for Larry to catch a connecting flight to Vancouver before flying to Victoria where the Whites would pick him up and bring him home to Campbell River. Unfortunately, Larry’s flight to Vancouver was delayed so arrangements were made to have Larry stay overnight on the Mainland. “We hired a professional accounting company to look after Larry in Vancouver and then he would fly across to Victoria first thing in the morning,” Duncan recalled. “So we decided to go back home and we were filling up at Costco and Lynda got a call from Jutta that Larry had bolted.” Kulic told Lynda that an Air Canada worker had let Larry out of his crate – which had four zip ties around it so he wouldn’t escape – despite Kulic’s detailed instructions to the airline’s cargo holders to not open the

crate. Angela Mah, spokesperson for Air Canada, said staff let Larry out of his crate because of the flight delay. “Air Canada’s San Francisco team had Larry’s well-being as first priority when initially caring for him during the lengthy flight delay when he unfortunately escaped,” Mah said. Larry slipped out of his collar, which wasn’t designed for a leash but rather just to carry his ID tags, according to Lynda. Witnesses told Kulic that Larry ran out onto nearby Highway 101 and was hit on the freeway entrance ramp around 4:45 p.m., within a half an hour of him escaping from Air Canada handlers. Kulic said three different cars pulled over and one couple rushed to Larry’s side. “Shortly after 5 p.m., a couple called a local veterinary hospital, saying they had picked up a dog hit on the freeway, that it was still breathing, and asked to bring it for treatment,” Kulic said. “They were referred to the closest emergency vet, but never arrived there or at any other local vet contacted to date. I continue to network; social media has been amazing. Someone will come forward eventually if we

keep working on it.” Lynda said Kulic has been “very vigilant” in trying to track down Larry and a $2,500 reward is being offered for his return. “She’s been on it since the time she got the phone call (that Larry escaped) and she has not rested,” Lynda said. “She arrived back in Ohio last night and the only reason she left San Francisco was she knew he wasn’t out in the cold by himself, running around. She is quite positive someone picked him up and attempted to call the vet but that’s where the information stops. “We haven’t been able to find the people who picked him up or where they took him.” Duncan said at first he believed the worst – that Larry had been killed – but now he’s fairly confident someone has Larry. He said there is no evidence that Larry was killed. Highway clean-up crews haven’t found him neither have other search parties – including Air Canada. Mah said the airline has been doing what it can to try and track down Larry. “Upon learning Larry was missing, Air Canada contacted Larry’s handler and immediately instituted a search, with

both cargo and airport staff,” Mah said. “We have reached out to local groups involved in animal rescue. “Additionally, we have broadly alerted the airport community and posters are up.” Lynda agrees that someone likely has Larry. “The only other possible explanation is that someone’s taken him and doesn’t want to return him,” said Lynda who noted Italian greyhound’s are an expensive, gentle and loving breed. However, they can also be skittish, startle easily and love to run, which is why Kulic left specific instructions with Air Canada not to open Larry’s crate. Still, Lynda said, “I don’t want to point fingers at them (Air Canada).” But she hopes with all the media attention Larry’s story is getting in both Canada and the United States, as well as exposure through the Larry the Italian Greyhound Facebook page, that someone will come forward with some key information. Duncan said he hopes if anything positive comes out of the experience, it’s that Air Canada makes some adjustments. “I would like to see, in the future, that Air Canada has a good look at their policies and procedures when it comes to handling live animals that are unescorted so this doesn’t happen to anyone else,” Duncan said. Mah said that in the meantime Air Canada’s U.S. cargo team continues to check in with area animal organizations and hospitals on a daily basis and is following up on any and all leads received regarding Larry. Mah added that Air Canada is in regular contact with Kulic regarding its efforts.

Election changes cause for concern for some regional district directors Regional directors concerned over ambiguity in province’s election reforms Kristen Douglas CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

S om e St r at h c on a Regional District directors are concerned that impending changes to local elections legislation may restrict individuals from publicly voicing their opinions. The province recently released its White Paper, which lays out the changes drafted by a joint provincial and Union of B.C. Municipalities task force, but some directors were hesitant to accept it. No b a A n d e r s o n , director for Cortes Island, said her concerns with the White Paper first surfaced after she was approached by a Cortes resident who was unclear about the changes to third-party advertising. “His concern is given the lack of a definition around third party,” Anderson said at the Oct. 9 regional board meeting. “Could it extend to an individual? If that’s the case, it looks like an

individual who wants to ing, not third party. “There’s a difference say something positive or negative about a local between writing a letcandidate would have to ter to the editor in the newspaper complaining file an application. “If it’s taken to try and about a candidate and minimize the speech of spending $3,000 to take the electorate, then I’m out a series of ads in a entirely not in favour of newspaper saying this candidate is no good,” it,” Anderson added.

Our View

Help for consumers may be coming The federal government brought down its Speech from the Throne on Wednesday, and advance reports suggested it would focus on the best interests of Canadian consumers. This is clearly designed with the 2015 federal election in mind, but it We say: Feds is a much-needed focus all the same. Canadians pay far too much for basic could also look items, and given that most of them are at burdens they not getting much in the way of wage impose as well increases, it’s getting harder and harder to pay the bills. While the federal government can’t single-handedly force businesses to lower prices, it can open up sectors to more competition in several key areas under its control.

These include the telephone, cable television, internet and credit card industries. Lack of competition means that Canadians pay very high prices for cellphone service, particularly for extras like roaming charges and data plans. The big three companies control almost all of the market and have shown little willingness to lower prices. On the cable television front, consumers are forced to pay a lot of extra money for channels they don’t watch, and also often pay expensive bundled charges for cable and internet service. In these two areas alone, consumers are forced to pay out more every year, leading to an erosion of their ability to buy other goods and services. Banks charge businesses excessive fees for the ability to accept payment by credit card. This adds to retail prices.

The federal government also needs to look into whether marketing boards benefit consumers. The main effect of such boards is to double prices for goods like milk and cheese, as compared to the United States. There is a slim indication that the feds may be willing to take on the powerful dairy farmers’ lobby, as a free trade deal with the European Union is on the horizon, and it allows for more cheese to be imported into Canada. The federal government can also look in its own back yard when it comes to reducing costs to consumers. It can stop levying GST on other taxes, as it does with fuel. Tax should be paid on goods or services, not on other taxes. – Black Press

Watch out for those extra costs

Look Out Campbell River...for John Hart Dam extra costs. As I read today that BC Hydro has been given the OK to charge extra fees to people that objected to the Smart Meter Installations, before the Choices Program is reviewed by the Utilities Commission, I wonder what the City of Campbell River might be looking to in the near future? I wonder why my wife and I are ‘eligible’ and ‘qualify’ to pay again for services that our previous Hydro bills had already built in? Or has this new program required Hydro to get rid of all their old data for ‘estimating’ bills, real people answering phones and inputting data, and have we not already used PowerSmart ideas to reduce how much we pay? What kind of business wants you to pay less to them? Oh, and unless I’m mistaken, we’ll also be paying for the Smart Meters, the Independent Power Producers, the North West Transmission Line and the rest of Hydro’s debts...like everyone else. Also, I’d like to know why the difference between an old meter and a radio-off meter charge if both have to be read manually, and I’m paying for the Smart Meter already? And can I trust Hydro/government not to legislate the radio-off to a radio-on state without any approval? And so I wonder if the planning for Smart Meters, which Continued on Pg. 9

City’s latest enforcement hits the heart of a good man

Paul Rudan No, really

His right ankle is fused, both knees have been replaced, but somehow Art Webb manages to walk between the graves at Elk Falls Cemetery without tripping or stumbling over the mementos left by the living for loved ones no longer here. It’s a walk the 68-year-old often takes, either alone or with his wife Diane. They come to remember their son Justin who died Sept. 4, 2011, following a ninemonth long battle with brain cancer. He was 20 years old. For those who had the pleasure of knowing Justin, we consider the time spent together an honour; a sacred memory of a kind, young man who spread a lot of love during his time on Earth. His death was devastating to so many,

but his parents chose to mourn in a way that reflects their son’s spirit. “It was awful for us, but it happens. That’s what we learned: Tragic things happen every day and people need our help,” Diane told me. That was in April 2012, when Art and Diane took the extra money donated to support their son’s fight against cancer and used it to “pay it forward.” The money, more than $2,000, bought two delivery carts that were donated to the Campbell River Hospital maternity ward, and the couple continue to give both time and cash to local charitable causes. They truly are inspirational, so it was more than a little troubling to see Art so downcast when stopped by the office last

week. With trembling hands, he dropped a three-page hand-written letter on my desk. “I’m kind of emotional about this,” he said. “This…this just isn’t right.” What’s so upsetting to the Webb family, and likely even more good Campbell River families, is the city’s newest cruel push to “enforce the bylaw” and remove all mementos from the grave stones over the next nine months. City officials “reason” the cemeteries are becoming too cluttered and pose a hazard for visitors and the contractors who do maintenance. Somehow Art manages to shuffle through in all types of weather and he scoffs at the notion the work crews are somehow inconvenienced by mementos

for the dead. The Webbs run their own landscaping business and Art says it’s nothing unusual to pick up dog bones or kids’ toys when he’s mowing. However, he’s also seen the grass cutters on ride-on mowers who blaze across the cemetery and then use gas blowers to clear up the cuttings and maybe, accidentally, blow over a memento or two. Art sighs, “It’s not as if the city goes out of its way to enforce other bylaws. First its the SPCA and people’s pets and now it’s our loved ones. “Why is the city striking out at the things that mean the most to us?” I have to wonder too. paulr@campbellrivermirror.com

Revenue sacrificed for convenience Business licence crosses city boundaries

companies who do business in several surrounding communities will no longer have to apply for a business licence in each jurisdiction. Sara Brodie, the city’s land use services supervisor, said the licence cuts down on the amount of administrative work required of businesses. “The purpose of the IMBL (inter-municipal business licence) is to allow a company to hold a single licence recognized by all participating municipalities, rather than individually apply for out-of-town business licences in each municipality in which they may operate,” Brodie wrote in a report to council. “The

Kristen Douglas Campbell RiveR miRRoR

The city may be sacrificing extra business licence revenue in order to make life easier for mobile businesses. Council gave final approval to the intermunicip a l business licensing model at last week’s Tuesday council meeting. Under the program, Campbell River area

IMBL represents a joint initiative between the Chamber of Commerce and the city to create a more business friendly environment.” The single $150 licence will enable businesses to be covered in the following communities: Campbell River, Comox, Courtenay, Cumberland, Duncan, Ladysmith, Lake Cowichan, Nanaimo, North Cowichan, Parksville, Port Alberni and Qualicum Beach. Brodie said while the model will make it more convenient for business owners, it will also likely cause the city to lose out on revenue from business operators who don’t live in Campbell River.

“The proposal would be likely to result in the significant reduction of out-of-town business licences,” Brodie wrote. “The city currently has issued 412 of these. At $150 per licence, this would equate to a reduction in business licence revenue of $61,800 if all of these were to become (inter-municipal business licences) issued in other municipalities; although there would clearly be a corresponding decrease in administrative burden.”

In December 2011, BC’s Court of Appeal upheld a decision that ICBC must pay 3x4 for necessary massage therapy treatments3x4 when recommended by a doctor. The Court found that massage therapy met the two requirements of a mandatory benefit payable by ICBC under Part 7 of the Insurance (Motor Vehicle) Act Regulation. First, massage therapy fits within the definition of physical therapy, making it a mandatory benefit. Second, massage therapy was a necessary treatment because it had been recommended by the injured party’s doctor as part of recovery. This decision clarifies a previous inconsistency regarding whether massage therapy costs should be paid for by ICBC. To learn more go to www.awslaw.ca

City art policy comes with price tags Kristen Douglas Campbell RiveR miRRoR

A new city public art policy was too rich for some councillors to sign off on at the last council meeting. The city’s Community Services Recreation and Culture Commission brought forward a number of changes to the city’s art policy aimed at contributing to the revitalization of downtown. But C oun. Andy Adams thought some

of the dollar figures attached to the report were too great. “In reading this I have some concerns, (specifically) section 2.1 ‘council will commit $50,000 annually to develop and implement its Public Art Program, including the creation of works of art,’” Adams said. The report also suggested council allocate one per cent of the city’s total capital improvement costs to the acquisition, administration

said. “This public art policy has gone through the commission for five years, I think it can wait another two weeks.” The public art policy is designed to help the city keep track of its artwork and manage the volume of public art donations the city receives, particularly from the Canada Day carving contest at Frank James Park. A Public Art Committee of five to seven voting members would be formed by council

and tasked with consideration of donations based on the piece’s ability to integrate into the city’s existing public art collection; the quality and condition of the work; sustainability of the theme of the artwork to a public venue; susceptibility of the work to degradation, wear or vandalism; and any potential of endangering public safety, among other things. The Public Art Committee would be

required to submit its recommendations on donation proposals, including site placement, to council. The committee would also be responsible for periodically reviewing the city’s public art inventory to determine whether public art pieces should be removed based on their condition, their required level of maintenance or repair and whether the artwork poses a public safety threat.

Paws&Claws For people who

Protect your While Halloween can be fun for adults and children alike, the family pet might not look forward to October 31 as much as the rest of the family. When trick-or-treating time arrives and the doorbell gets its annual workout, pet parents should take steps to ensure their dogs, cats and other companion animals stay calm and don't get too frightened or excited. Halloween is full of decorations, costumes and, of course, trick-or-treaters. While the

excitement can be thrilling for children, pets can easily grow scared. Animals generally become creatures of routine, and anything that takes them out of their comfort zones can be a cause for agitation. Spooky decorations hung throughout the house and outdoors present new sights and smells. The doorbell ringing every few minutes could put skittish pets even more on edge -- especially when they come face-to-face with hordes of costumed trick-or-treaters.

Candy, and chocolate in particular, poses a large risk as well. Even relatively small amounts of chocolate can be harmful to cats and dogs. That's because chocolate contains caffeine and theobromine, two different types of stimulants that can wreak havoc on an animal's central nervous system. Hard candies may be swallowed and become lodged in the throat or digestive tract. Artificial sweeteners are harmful to animals, too.

Halloween

• Keep pets indoors for the day. Animals that are frightened may run away or grow disoriented and get lost. Also, you never want your pet to be the victim of a Halloween prank. Sometimes black cats are stolen on Halloween. Dogs left outside may be at risk for teasing and taunting, too.

stress out the animal, so avoid pet costumes. • Be mindful of holiday decorations. Strings of lights, fake spider webs and other decorative items can be tripping hazards for pets, while electronic devices could pose a safety risk. Avoid lit candles in the home because cats or dogs may knock them over.

• Don't take dogs trick-or-treating. Although you may have a calm, wellmannered dog, the crowds in the neighborhood may excite man's best friend, whose behavior might be difficult to predict. Also, other animals that get loose from homes when the doors are opened may provoke your dog. It's enough to keep your eyes on your children, never mind being mindful of your dog, too.

To help keep pets safe, it is best to consider the following tips for Halloween.

Enjoying Life never gets old.

Senior pets begin slowing down content to sit by you side and enjoy a belly rub.

• Store collected candy out of reach. Pets are inquisitive, and they may be drawn to the sweet smell of candy and treats. Candy wrappers and the candy itself can be hazardous to pets. Therefore, store candy where pets cannot access it and be sure children discard candy wrappers.

• Skip costumes for pets. You may think it's a great idea to dress your pets in costumes, but there's a good chance your pet does not share your enthusiasm. It may

Does Your Dog have Allergies?

October is our Senior Pet month! With age dogs can begin to experience a need for diet & exercise changes as well as a need for extra bone, joint, and muscular support.

• Keep pets secured in a bedroom or another quiet space. Your dog or cat may try to bolt outside every time you open the door to trick-or-treaters. Instead, keep the animals in a bedroom or laundry area. Not only will they appreciate the quiet, but also they won't have a chance to escape and get lost.

Our four legged friends sure smell it-and would love to chase them, maybe roll on one and even have a bite or two. Be for warned, offering of raw salmon to your pet or your pet eating some spawning salmon causality can be deadly. A bacterial organism living inside a parasitic worm which lives inside salmon can cause a life threatening disease termed Salmon Poisoning. It is the bacteria called Neorickettsia Helminthoeca, which is the culprit, and it is definitely prevalent in the Pacific Northwest at this time of year.

the incredible support we have received from Campbell River residents and we hope as many people as possible will join us on Oct. 22 to share in our announcement and our plans moving forward,” said Daniell in a news release. The BC SPCA hinted on its Facebook page in September that the society was actively seeking an appropriate venue for its new centre. “The wheels are slowly turning. The SPCA is looking at an undisclosed space and is in the process of gathering information to apply for a re-zoning,” read the post. Tuesdays meeting will be the second since the SPCA closed its Campbell River branch earlier

this year. In mid-June, t he SPCA held a public meeting where Daniell announced that the SPCA would be returning to Campbell River. Following that announcement, t he SPCA planned to lease space in the Maritime Heritage Centre. That plan, however, was abandoned after city council encouraged the SPCA to look elsewhere for an animal shelter. Daniell said that while the new centre would be run on a smaller scale than the former shelter, the SPCA intends to continue to facilitate adoptions, conduct cruelty investigations, continue and increase its educational programs and continue its spaying

and neutering program through its new adoption and education centre. Daniell assured those in attendance at the last public meeting that while the SPCA left its Merecroft Road shelter on short notice, the society never intended to abandon Campbell River. “At no time did we even contemplate that we wouldn’t have a presence here,” Daniell said at the June meeting. “We been here for a long time and we hope to be here even longer. We are certainly committed to being in Campbell River.” The SPCA pulled its operations in Campbell River at the end of March after the city awarded its animal control contract to Coastal Animal Control instead of the SPCA.

won the Most Popular Canadian Environmental Documentary Award at the festival. The film has been called “unscientific and biased” by the salmon farming industry, and Roscovich readily admits she’s a supporter of wild salmon. The 70-minute documentary was first

screened in Campbell River last spring and has since been taken on the road to more than 40 communities. In the film, Roscovich follows Alexandra Morton’s 2012 investigation of wild salmon deaths which Morton attributes to European viruses

associated with salmon farming. Roscovich is the onewoman film crew who follows Morton’s trips to court, remote rivers, government offices, Vancouver grocery stores and sushi restaurants. Roscovich grew up in Campbell River and graduated from Carihi.

Habitat for Humanity believes that home ownership brings security, stability, and many other benefits. The biggest barrier for many families is saving up a down payment. With a Habitat for Humanity home there is NO DOWN PAYMENT. Habitat homes are built by volunteers and donors and sold to qualified families. Habitat holds the mortgage, charges no interest and amortizes the mortgage in a way that ensures families pay no more than 30 per-cent of their income for housing. If you are a hard-working family who would like to own your own home, the Habitat program may be for you.

Families agree to work 500 hours of volunteer labour. They agree to keep home and yard in good condition. They agree to follow all Habitat for Humanity VIN policies.

says Archer during a telephone interview. In July, The 24th Street Wailers were one of the crowd favourites at Vancouver Island Musicfest in Courtenay. Fans digged the blues/ rockabilly sound led by drummer and lead singer Lindsay Beaver – who’s also married to Archer – guitarist Emily Burgess and saxophonist Jon Wong. This is not some slowfooted, blues-roots shuffle bands. Nope. The 24th Street Wailers bring unbridled enthusiasm to their original songs fronted by Beaver’s

straight-from-the-soul vocals and punctuated by Wong’s blazing riffs on tenor sax. It’s a sound that has kept the quartet going virtually non-stop since January 2011 after releasing their first album Dirty Little Young’uns. Their May 2012 release, Unshakeable, caught the attention of even more fans and last February the Wailers released Live in Halifax.

Manage stress naturally improve energy, sleep Better, Reduce Cravings

retail marketing 3x7

By Karen Jensen, ND

Our ability to adapt to stress depends upon optimal function of the adrenal glands. When excess stress overloads our adrenal glands symptoms can include: fatigue, insomnia, anxiety, depression, low back pain, asthma, allergies, blood sugar problems, hormonal imbalances, irritability, headaches, sugar cravings, gastrointestinal symptoms and inflammatory conditions.

Altrusa Club members are getting ready for their fundraising presentation of Grease at the Tidemark Theatre Nov. 16. In the spirit of previous presentations of Mama Mia and The Sound of Music, costumes and singing along is encouraged.

The ‘roots’ of the original AdrenaSense Formula

Throughout my life I had good health and boundless energy and then suddenly in my early 30’s I hit the wall with fatigue… I had three children under the age of 3, my marriage broke up, and I went back to work thinking I could ‘do it all’. My body did not agree… nothing helped the crippling fatigue until I saw a naturopathic doctor who introduced me to my adrenal glands. When I started naturopathic practice in the 1980’s it was my own experience with adrenal fatigue that allowed me to recognize it in my patients and over the years I saw the need for an effective adrenal supplement.

The Original AdrenaSense Formula:

The herbs in the AdrenaSense formula are called adaptogens that have been proven to support stress reactions and normalize adrenal function. These include Rhodiola, Suma, Schizandra Berries, Siberian Ginseng and Ashwagandha, which in combination, enhance mental and physical performance; balance the nervous system helping with anxiety and insomnia; support the immune, cardiovascular and hormonal systems; counteract fatigue, anxiety and depression; as well as provide vital energy.

In a global economy, exports add significantly to economic growth. 86% of exporting companies are small (<100 employees), but produce only 25% of the total value of Canadian exports; the majority of exports (57%) are provided by large firms.

“The world is moving toward this type of commerce,” says Anita Bezeau, Assistant Vice President, Information and Communication Technology Solutions at the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC). “Canadians are online, but Canadian businesses aren’t there.

You can create a sales-ready site with no programming knowledge using free services such as OpenCart and PrestaShop, or inexpensive providers such as Shopify and eBay Stores. These sites come with an online shopping cart, product catalogues and the ability to pay via credit cards or other methods, such as PayPal. Also included are options for customer reviews and feedback, and data on your sales to help you track performance. “If you know how to use e-mail, you can build an e-commerce site in 15 min-

E-commerce can level the playing field for small businesses, including those in small towns, Finkelstein notes. Online sales allow you to punch far above your weight in attracting customers. With a well-designed website, a small business can reach as many people online as a much larger company. Plus, your site can be seen worldwide 24 hours a day, and internet marketing tends to be cheaper than traditional methods. “The Internet has democratized entrepreneurship,” Finkelstein adds. “Thanks to the Internet, I think the future of commerce belongs to small businesses.” Another advantage: E-commerce lets businesses test products and marketing approaches at little cost, while getting quick feedback from potential customers.

The online advantage Unlike a bricks-and-mortar store, where you might be stuck with the same product display for months because of the investment, an e-commerce site can be changed for free in minutes to include new products or a different look, Finkelstein says. You can then quickly check your web traffic data to see how clients are responding to your changes. E-commerce allows the kind of trial and error that entrepreneurs often need to do before succeeding, Finkelstein says. “One of the advantages of online sales is you can pivot quickly.” Bezeau agrees: “The cost of entry is very low. The Internet allows you to try and fail and learn.” Selling over the Internet helps streamline order processing, reducing costs and errors, Bezeau adds. And it offers businesses a “huge competitive edge” because of the convenience of online ordering, she says. “The more convenience you create for clients, the more they’ll stick with your business.”

3 tips for E-commErcE succEss Start small Don’t get bogged down trying to create a huge, high-end website featuring hundreds of products. Start with a free or low-cost e-commerce site, and test three or four products to gauge customer interest while working out the kinks in your ordering and fulfilment process.

Meanwhile, Canadian consumers spent an estimated $21 billion on online purchases last year, up nearly 30% in just two years, accord-

Test and learn Don’t expect to succeed with your first efforts. “It’s really about learning,” BDC’s Anita Bezeau says. “Technology allows us to do and test quickly and economically.”

Be attractive In your online store, feature attractive product images, clear descriptions and an easily navigable layout, so visitors can quickly find what they’re looking for and make a purchase. Also, engage visitors with fun and educational extras: how-to tips for products, interesting videos and background information on the story of your company.

e all know Canada’s population is aging. But how will changing demographics affect your business? First, the good news. Aging consumers have different buying habits, so that means opportunities if you’re creative. The bad news is that as baby boomers retire, many businesses will face labour shortages because not enough younger workers will be around to take their place.

Either way, businesses that don’t adapt to the reality of the aging population could face severe challenges and are going to miss opportunities, says Pierre Cléroux, Chief Economist at the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC). The impacts are already being felt in some sectors and regions where businesses are struggling to find younger employees to replace retiring boomers. “If we don’t manage our labour force according to the new trends, it’s going to be difficult for businesses to be successful,” Cléroux says.

Retain older employees In the next 20 years, the median age of Canadians is expected to rise to 45, up from 26 in 1991, Statistics Canada projects. Twenty years ago, nearly two people entered the labour force for every person nearing retirement. Today, the ratio is one to one, and it is expected to drop further. Happily, Cléroux says entrepreneurs can take steps to adapt—and even find opportunities by reviewing how to adapt products and services to an older consumer’s needs. “Every sector of the economy is going to be impacted,” Cléroux says. To deal with the coming labour crunch, you can start by creating more accommodating workplaces to entice aging employees to put off retirement, he suggests. Older workers often can’t or don’t want to work full-time. Flexible hours, part-time

jobs and temporary work are ways to keep them on board. Some companies also deliberately recruit seniors to fill labour gaps. “Older workers usually have a great work ethic and experience,” Cléroux says. “Businesses will need to keep their people working for them longer. The perception is that at 65 people are done. That perception will have to change.” Les MacIntyre is a firm believer in retaining older employees to make up for a shortage of younger workers at his company, Superport Marine Services. He has no mandatory retirement age and offers retirees flexible, part-time and temporary jobs. He also pairs them with younger workers to pass on skills. “Those guys pick up a wealth of expertise. The retired guys have the patience to pass on that knowledge. They bring a lifetime of skill,” he says. MacIntyre also works hard to foster a positive workplace culture so retirees are eager to come back. “I try to instill a stimulating and satisfying workplace so they enjoy working here and I have a high retention rate.”

Immigrants are key Another solution is immigration, which has always been important in addressing labour shortages in Canada, Cléroux says. That role will grow: 20 years from now, 32% of the labour force will have been born outside Canada, versus 21% today. Cléroux says Canadian entrepreneurs will need to be more welcoming to foreign-born workers. “Businesses will have to be more flexible in accepting people trained, educated and born outside Canada.” Creative changes will be needed to remain competitive, he adds. “We can no longer do the same things as in the past. The structure of the last 40 years is going to have to change. But if we do things correctly, we should be able to retain Canada’s competitive position.”

Financing Small Business business growth 5 What you need to know before you go to the bank Say you’ve got a small business in need of a loan. You’re growing, and you’d like some extra money for an expansion project. Sales are going up, and you’re making a nice profit. Should be an easy sell to the bank, right? Not necessarily, especially if you don’t do your homework, says Pat Latour, Senior Vice President, Financing and Consulting, at the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC). “If you’re going to expand, you’ve got to have a plan. If you don’t, you can jeopardize the rest of the business that is doing well,” he says. Many businesses walk into a bank’s office without the right planning—and then they’re surprised when their loan request is turned down. “Knowing the numbers is key. How will the expansion affect your profitability?” Latour asks. “Growing businesses need more working capital because they’re often supporting additional inventory and more staff.

a 1,500-square-foot space in 2001, it had grown to a 10,000-squarefoot location by 2007. But even that space was maxed out, and Darrah wanted to expand into a new, bigger building. He had always used working capital to finance his growth, but he now realized he needed a loan for the costly expansion.

7x14

And it often takes a while for the expansion to increase profitability,” Latour explains. “On the other hand, an expansion can also lead to unexpectedly rapid revenue growth. Entrepreneurs should also plan for that scenario and be ready to use the extra revenue to aim even higher,” he says. How do you get your ducks in a row for a successful loan request? First, take time to work out your anticipated return on the investment, including not just the cost of the fixed asset, but also the way your business operations will change as you grow. Second, it’s vital to think about your timing when applying for a loan. Businesses often wait too long, Latour says. Instead, they use cash flow to finance major expansions or, even worse, wait until they’re facing a cash crunch to see the bank.

“One of the biggest reasons businesses fail or an expansion doesn’t succeed is a lack of working capital. It’s always easier to get financing beforehand than when you have a timing crunch,” he says.

He was in for a surprise when he approached a bank and was initially turned down. Despite sales growth of 25% to 30% per year, he had been spending all his operating cash and writing off equipment every year. “It looked like we didn’t have many assets,” Darrah says, who then hired an accounting firm to help him demonstrate his company’s true value.

Latour advises fast-growing businesses to meet their banker every year to get a pre-approved loan for capital expenditures, which they can draw on instead of tapping working capital. Such a credit facility also lets a business react more quickly to opportunities, since it doesn’t need to apply for a new loan each time it needs funds.

The bank took another look and agreed to the loan, which allowed Pace to move into its own new 25,000-square-foot building in 2010. Darrah also got a line of credit for future capital spending. “What prevented us from taking the next step was always spending all our cash. It was really clear we needed to change to grow.”

he Campbell River Chamber of Commerce Business Expo is a high engagement, business-to-business event that provides excellent opportunities for local businesses and suppliers to profile their business, connect with other exhibitors, and identify opportunities to collaborate and leverage opportunities related to the transition that our community is undergoing. “Many of our exhibitors also use this event as a client and customer appreciation opportunity,” says Colleen Evans, Chamber President. “In addition to potential business and new clients that may arise from meeting the other exhibitors, past exhibitors have told us that they use the expo to have quality face-to-face time with their clients and potential clients.” “It’s sometimes really hard in a busy business to get those few hours to dedicate to client appreciation so many of our exhibitors invite their clients and suppliers to meet them at the expo and they provide gift bags or draws for them to enter while they are there,” further added Evans.

Small Business DINNER 6 DANCING 7x14 DOOR PRIZES

The evening will include: • introduction of the Friday, October 25, 2013 new executive board • recognition of the outgoing 6:00 pm board members Maritime Heritage • culture, conversation and connections.

The 103 registered delegates surpassed the previous high of 98 while the trade show, which took place at the Community Centre, had 33 booths, up from the previous record of 29 displays. A program for spouses of the delegates also broke an attendance record with 27 spouses making the trip to Campbell River, compared with the previous high of 22. While the delegates were treated to two hands-on training sessions at the Campbell River Airport, workshop attendees were also given a guided tour along the new John Hart Generating Station project, as well as a trip through the Quinsam Fish Hatchery. The spousal program included visits to Cathedral Grove near Port Alberni as well as a trip

to the Quinsam Hatchery, a carving tour by carver Bill Henderson and a visit to the Mussels and More pottery studio in Campbellton. The program wrapped up with guided visits to the museum and Maritime Heritage Centre. The workshop wound up with a dinner at Painter’s Lodge followed by a casino night hosted by the Campbell River Kinsmen. The lucky winners were then able to bid on items at a silent auction, many of which were donated by local businesses. Ames said the workshop, which took place Sept. 22-27, was so successful that he’s confident it will be back. “It’s pretty well guaranteed they’ll be back,” Ames said. “They all want to come back to Campbell River. “They actually wanted to come back next year.

The better ones have a dry bag type sealing system with the seams welded, not stitched and made out of a waterproof material.

Drive Smart BC I Break the Rules, But I do it Safely One of the most common responses that I received having stopped a driver for a traffic violation was a rationalization or justification for the behaviour I observed. The driver clearly knew that what they were doing was against the traffic laws but in their minds they were still being safe. Exceeding the speed limit, slowing down for stop signs, or even driving on the wrong side of the road could be excused because “No one else was around.” If that was the case, where did I and my fully marked police vehicle materialize from?

tyee chev 2x14

Brake is a road safety charity in the UK. They partnered with an insurance company and surveyed 1,000 drivers about their own driving and their perception of other drivers. Among their findings are 63% of young drivers feel that it is more dangerous than safe to drive, 46% of men break the rules, but only when they can do it safely and that 99% think that they are at least as safe as the average driver. I suspect that if this survey was conducted here in British Columbia the results would be much the same. Most of us think that we are better than the average driver, something that cannot be true. This perception of our own capabilities can lead to poor decision making which in the context of driving may mean injury and death. That costs us all when we pay our taxes and renew the insurance for our vehicles. Will the BC government take this inflated perception of capability into consideration when they review the public input of the speed limit survey planned for next month? I hope so because my experience has shown me that some drivers have neither the knowledge nor the forethought to contribute in a truly useful way. Driver education should be a driving career long effort, not one that ends when we first receive our full licence.

B.C. does too little to fight problem gambling and should consider new steps, from making it harder to get alcohol and cash in casinos to removing the most addictive high-risk slot machines. Those recommendations come from Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall, who tackled the health impacts of gambling Wednesday with the release of his annual report titled “Lower the Stakes.” Chief among the findings is that B.C. underspends other provinces in prevention and treatment for problem gambling – it invests about half the national average on a per capita basis. Liquor access is one area of risk the province could tighten, Kendall said, perhaps through reduced hours of alcohol service at casinos or by raising drink prices. He said gambling delivers endorphins that stimulate pleasure centres of

the brain. “If you also have alcohol and add that to the mix and you’ve got an ATM there with an unlimited cash amount, you’ve definitely got a scenario where people are going to behave less and less responsibly.” Banning ATMs or requiring players to set an advance limit on what they might spend is another idea advanced in the report. It also zeroes in on high-risk electronic gaming machines – the slots designed by manufacturers to generate the most compulsive behaviour. Kendall suggested they be replaced with lower risk models and urged the province to post the risk rating on each machine so gamblers could choose a lower risk option. Gerald Thomas of the Centre for Addictions Research, a co-author of the report, said the province has high, medium and low risk ratings for all of the slot machines in B.C. casinos and should disclose how many it has of each. Kendall noted government is in a conflict of interest because it relies heavily on gambling profits but is also responsible for protecting vulnerable citizens. “This is a public health

issue,” he said, adding the time may be right for a “fulsome discussion on the benefits and the risks” of gambling in light of rejections of new casinos over the past two years by Surrey and Vancouver. Any new decisions to expand gambling should come with an assessment of the risk to problem gamblers and be contingent on reducing the overall share of revenue extracted from them, the report recommends. T h e r e’s b e e n n o detailed study of problem gambling in B.C. in several years but new research is slated for next year. According to 2007 statistics, 3.7 per cent of B.C. residents are at “moderate risk” and 0.9 per cent are classified as problem gamblers. Kendall noted the two groups account for 26 per cent of total gambling revenue despite making up less than five per cent of the population. There are 160,000 gamblers in the two risky groups but only 4,000 calls per year to a problem gambling helpline, suggesting the number of people who could be helped is “much higher.” Kendall argues the B.C. Lottery Corp. could do more to identify problem gamblers – possibly

using data on their gambling gathered through a loyalty card program – and then dispatching staff to attempt treatment interventions. The report calls on the province to devote at least 1.5 per cent of gambling revenue to problem gambling initiatives, tripling the current outlay. It also urges school classes to warn children of the dangers of gambling, focusing on students in grades 10 to 12. Provincial gambling revenue per capita climbed 56 per cent over the last decade from $353 per person in 2002 to $552 by 2011. The $2.1-billion a year industry delivers nearly $900 million in net profits to government. B.C. Finance Minister Mike de Jong said in a statement the province this year increased its Responsible Gambling program budget by 30 per cent. “We take the social costs of gambling seriously,” he said, adding the province and BCLC will provide $11 million for responsible gambling this year. De Jong said the province is committed to continually improving but will review the performance of its current programs before considering any more spending.

Zombie Storm descending on Willow Point Park T he Campbell River Storm Junior Hockey Club has been transformed into a bunch of merciless zombies. Come see for yourself at the Zombie Escape at Willow Point Park on Sunday, Oct. 27. Anyone can run. But it all changes when you’re running for your life. Test your survival skills, speed, strength and endurance through 3 or 5 KM of obstacles all while being chased by starving zombies. Big thank you to the Storm for volunteering to terrorize our fellow citizens. The City of Campbell River and the Strathcona Regional District is looking for more Zombie Bait (runners) and hungry Zombies to help with this event. Are you interested? Call them. Frequently asked Questions Runners (a.k.a., ZOMBIE BAIT): What time should I show up? We suggest at least an hour before your

selected race time. If you need to pick up your race packet, plan for two hours. Please remember to allow additional time for parking. Should I bring anything? We also suggest a change of clothes/shoes, or a towel for the ride home. You’re gonna get dirrrrty. What should I wear? You’ll be given a race bib in your race packet. You must wear it while on the course, or you’ll be tackled to the ground and left for the zombies to devour. The apocalypse isn’t gonna be pretty. Be ready to get dirty. Can I bring my family/my dog/my neighbor’s niece’s cousin’s friend’s uncle? You can bring every person you’ve ever known in your life, provided they stay off the race course. We will try to ensure that the zombies won’t eat their brains. But – No dogs. No cats, no ferrets, chickens, or goldfish… Let’s not get crazy.

What’s the deal with the flags? Every runner will be given a flag belt with two flags that must be worn when on the obstacle/race course. Each flag represents your “life.” The zombies are super hungry for yours, so they’ll be after them in a serious way. Cross the finish line with at least one flag intact and you can brag to all your friends that you survived the zombie onslaught. Lose your flags, and you’ve joined the ranks of the living dead. You will have to return to the starting line and if you want to continue as a zombie our facepainters will make that happen. Can I use my specialized homemade apocalypse weapons to fight the hungry horde? Um, no. Absolutely no weapons of any kind, no matter how cool your gamer buddies think they are. How old do I have to be to run from the Zombies? Eight is the minimum age, and only with a

signed waiver from a parent or guardian. Do I have to complete every obstacle? No, but you run the risk of being devoured by flesh eating monsters if you choose to skip or go around an obstacle. What kind of obstacles will there be? Skipping through fields of daisies, swimming through warm crystal clear waters… Ha. Like we’d tell you. When is the last day I can register? You can register up until Oct 21. Zombies: Is this for real? You bet your life. Will there be real, live living dead? Maybe. Can I actually eat a participant if I catch one? Please refrain from eating any of our runners. They might look tasty, but they’re probably game-y, and the super-fit ones will be tough as hell.

The dirt was flying at the Campbell River motocross track on Sunday. According to Dirtbiker.ca, “the Campbell River motocross track is one of the best on Vancouver Island, maybe the best.

PeeWee B Tyees talk turkey in Port Alberni The Mainstream Biological Consulting Ltd. PeeWee B Tyees were on the ice in Port Alberni for a three3-day Tournament over Thanksgiving that featured eight teams from Vancouver Island

and the Lower Mainland. The team faced a strong and consistent opponent in West Vancouver in their opening round robin game. G o a l t e n d e r Jay c e Hudak faced his share of

shots in the first period before a Tyees penalty allowed West Vancouver to capitalize on their power play and get the first goal. Despite a tough West Van offense the team blocked many shots and Hudak continued to come up with brilliant saves until defenseman Kayle Majic answered back with a quick wrist shot to the top right corner of West Van’s net. The second period saw a successful series of shifts to kill another Tyees penalty before Robert Gurney got the go ahead goal to make it 2-1. The lead was short lived, however as West Van answered back with the tying goal and an onslaught of shots. A couple of West Van 2 on 1 rushes and an unlucky rebound of of Hudak’s pads saw the Tyees lose momentum mid-way to an 8-2 loss. Who let the dogs out?

The Tyees’ next opponent were the host

Alberni Valley Bulldogs and the Tyee’s followed through with a plan to get more shots on net resulting in a goal by Robert Gurney with the assist coming from captain Dakota Sinclair not even two minutes into the game. Kyle Billy added to the tally in the first period as well. Again momentum proved elusive for the team as Port Alberni used a turnover at the Tyees’ blue line and a strong point shot to come back into the game. Experienced secondyear players Cole Devlin and Ridge Rosa added another goal each midway through the third period to ensure a 4-3 win. Capital offense That same Sunday afternoon the Tyees faced the Cowichan Valley Capitals. After unloading four shots in the first minute of play, the team found the back of the Cowichan net a total

of nine times, including a hat trick by Jordan Baker, another two goals from Ridge Rosa and singles from Nathan Lagos, Dakota Sinclair, Gordon Ludvigson and Ethan Mainprize. Goaltending duties were shared by Jayce Hudak and Jared McAneeley and that combination only let in two goals. 9-2 final. No rest for the wicked That win rewarded the team with only just over an hour’s rest as they had a spot in the semifinals Sunday evening against another strong Lower Mainland opponent, Ridge Meadows. Players had to forgo the hosting committee’s Thanksgiving buffet and its accompanying aroma for lighter fare in preparation for this opportunity to be in Monday’s final. The opening period saw both teams play with an increased sense of urgency and pace and Jayce Hudak came up with some super saves.

The Tyees had a twoman advantage towards the end of the period but Ridge Meadows had a solid penalty kill to take away any scoring chances. Ridge Meadows were up 1-0 at the first intermission. Tyees’ shots went wide and attempts to clear the zone were repeatedly stopped by the Ridge Meadows defence, though Cole Devlin did get the equalizer part way into the second period. Another twoman advantage was not utilized by the Tyees and they gave up a shorthanded goal, followed by another 5 goals from Ridge Meadows in the rest of the game. Dakota Sinclair did get a second Tyees goal with 30 seconds left on the clock. 6-2 final. We meet again The Tyees went full circle as West Vancouver had fallen to Oceanside in the other semifinal and the battle was now

against them for third and fourth place. The opening period saw an increased effort to keep the puck in West Van’s end and get more shots on net. Down 1-0 partway through the 1st period, Tyee Ethan Mainprize used skilled stickwork to weave his way through West Van’s defence to tie the game. As the final minute wound down in the period, Riory Young made good on a rebound to get the go ahead goal. The next two periods saw the Tyees’ defence blocking numerous shots and assisting the offence with point shots but the team just couldn’t get the lucky rebounds on that day and fell 5-2 to finish in fourth place overall.

Youth rugby players not turning down any opportunity to play

ocal youth rugby players from the Campbell River Athletic Association have had a busy enough fall season so far with their league play. But they didn’t think twice about accepting an opportunity to participate in the America’s Rugby Championship half-time events last weekend held at Rugby

Canada’s Center of Excellence in Langford. “Our U12’s suited up and had a great time in front of over 3,000 fans during the Argentina and USA match, then our U18 Women (combined Campbell River and Comox Valley players) played a long 10-minute, seven-aside match against the Velox Valhallians of Victoria

during the Canada vs. Uruguay match. I say long because sevens rugby is all-out sprinting with very few stoppages and normally a match consists of two sevenminute halves,” says club president and coach, Erin Young. This weekend sees U8’s, U12’s and U14 girls travelling to Oak Bay for a Jamboree and

the girls will have an added treat of a training session with some of Canada’s national senior women’s team. The U18 Women will also travel south to face a strong Cowichan side. The U14 boys and U18 men will have a bye weekend. Young says that new players are always welcome and that U14’s and younger will continue to play in spring as well. “Rugby is fun, challenging, affordable, and you cannot beat the family atmosphere that rugby clubs have at their youth events,” Young says. For more information call 250-202-7642 or visit www.campbellriverrugby.webs.com. Bobbie Thomas, 17, of Black Creek, tackles a Velox player during the half-time demo at the America’s Rugby Championship last Friday in Langford.

Bantam A Tyees overcome slow start in Thanksgiving tourney The Campbell River Booster Juice Bantam A Tyees were in tough at the start but soon got their game going in Port Moody at the Thanksgiving Bantam Tournament last weekend.

The Tyees were in the Double A Division of the tournament and had two A1 teams in their bracket. Their first game was against North Vancouver A1 team. There appeared to be some sort

of a selective electromagnet under the ice at the start of this game. It only held Tyee skate blades firmly on the ice while allowing North Van to skate everywhere at high speed. Before an electri-

cian was located to turn the switch off, North Van had put four goals up on the scoreboard. Once the Tyees got their feet moving, they made a valiant effort but just ran out of time,

losing by a score of 4-3. Game MVP was Olivia Knowles as she frequently contained or eliminated odd-man rushes on the Tyee net with her exceptional hockey IQ and great

skating. Game 2 featured the A2 team from North Shore Winter Club (NWSC) against the Tyees. Confidence is a fragile thing even at the highest level of professional sports. The TELUS STORE OR AUTHORIZED DEALER

NSWC team played at an up-tempo pace with crisp passing that showcased why hockey is “the game.” The blistering pace took a bit of a toll on the Tyees as NSWC ultimately skated to a 7-1 victory. Seth Parker was selected game MVP for his efforts in patrolling the blue line with determination and grit while laying out any NSWC player who came his way. The Tyees played Aldergrove A1 in their third game. Fans saw the Tyees working hard for each other in all areas of the rink. Battles were won by Tyees in offensive and defensive zones. Shooting lanes were cleared to allow an unobstructed view from the goal crease. Nic Ordano picked the perfect time to score his first goal of the season as it turned out to be the game winner in the Tyees 6-4 victory. The Game MVP was Jaxon Ward who used his speed and strength to his advantage while notching a hat trick, including a short-handed marker that turned the tide in favour of the Tyees. Out of medal contention, the Tyees resumed their rivalry with an Island opponent as they faced Nanaimo A2 in their final game of the tournament. The Tyees seemed to draw inspiration from their recent success. Without saying it aloud, it seemed that they understood that they can compete with anyone but in order to do so, they must have a true commitment from everyone. Forecheckers relentlessly got on tired defenders, won pucks and fed the points for shots on goal. Forwards came back hard which gave defenders the opportunity to stand up at the Tyee blueline or make a good switch to take the attacker out of the play. Loose pucks quickly became Tyees’ property or were chipped out of harm’s way. Opposing offensive players were moved aside while rebounds were controlled and kept to a minimum. The Tyees skated fast and furious to a well-earned 7-1 victory. Game MVP honours went to Ordano for his tenacity on the forecheck, leading by example and his second goal of the season. Tyee goalies Dominik Bellefleur and Carson Bjorgsford finished the tournament with identical records of one win and one loss.

Tippenhauer, Marlis Grete Helen April 1933 - September 2013

Marlis Grete Helen Tippenhauer passed away on September 29th, 2013 at her home in Black Creek, B.C. Gracing the world with her presence on April 17th, 1933 in Hildesheim, Germany, Marlis developed a passion for swimming, sewing and culinary arts. Later on in her teenage years, she apprenticed and became a Seamstress, a talent she continued to utilize throughout her entire life, making beautiful clothing for herself as well as her entire family. Marlis married the â&#x20AC;&#x153;love of her lifeâ&#x20AC;?, Henry Tippenhauer, on December 17th, 1955. In 1956, the two newlyweds ventured to British Columbia to begin a new life together. They first arrived in Pioneer Goldmine, then at Southgate Camp eventually settling in Black Creek, where they built a beautiful home. Marlis happily remained at her home for the rest of her life. The happy couple were blessed with a son, Roy, in 1960. When they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t working hard taking care of their home, they were camping, fishing or skiing at Forbidden Plateau, activities they continued to take part in for many years. Roy married his wife, Carla and had two children, Nicole and Amy, who Marlis was incredibly proud of. Later on in life, Marlis enjoyed spending time with her family and friends, swimming, camping, gardening, taking care of her dog and baking/cooking the most delicious food to have ever touched your taste buds. Marlis was kind, caring, generous, warm and loving and was always there for her family. The lives of those who were lucky enough to know and spend time with her will forever be changed. She is survived by her son, daughter-in-law and two granddaughters, who will miss her greatly. A Celebration of Life will be held at the Black Creek Recreation Center (Black Creek Hall) on Sunday November 3rd from 1pm to 4 pm. Refreshments will be served. In lieu of flowers please make a donation to your favorite charity in Marlisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; name.

FROM VAGABOND TO POWER SMART NEW HOME OWNER. Second to none

Lodavico Fruscalzo’s relatives in northern Italy think it just snows here and it’s too cold to grow anything. but Fruscalzo tells them there’s better tomato-growing conditions in Campbell River than there is in California or northern Italy and the proof is ripening on his sundeck on Cedar Street as this photo from last weekend proves.

Downtown visioning event one step closer The city has awarded a contract for a downtown visioning session to establish a community-supported concept for vacant waterfront land near Roberts Reach Road. The team of PFS Studio and Public Architecture and Communication will begin the negotiating –or charette – process as early as the end of October. “A charrette is a collaborative design and land use planning session that combines the interests of a diverse group of people to achieve a viable land use and urban design concept that balances the relationship between public needs and land development priorities,” says Ross Blackwell, the City’s manager of land use services. “Throughout the process, members of the public will be invited to learn and share their ideas for the civic and cultural heart of the city.” In September, the City held two pre-charrette events where members of the public provided feedback that will help structure the charrette that will fine-tune the community vision for this area that was established through the Sustainable Official Community Plan process. Thirty-three participants at the pre-charrette sessions indicated strong support for:

ROB MICKELBERRY’S JOURNEY TO THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY After nearly a year travelling on a “rock star” bus from one end of North America to another, Rob Mickelberry, his wife and three children were ready to re-establish permanent roots back home in Victoria. “We bought a property while we were on the road,” says Rob, “then lived in the old house while we sub-divided the lot and built a new home that would be ours.” Because Rob wanted the home – completed in May 2013 – “for the long haul,”

Rob Mickelberry

he was determined it would not cost a fortune to run. By calling in certified energy advisors City Green Solutions early in the design process, Rob was able to build-in a number of refinements – including an air source heat pump, triple glazing, a heat recovery ventilation system and extra insulation – that resulted in the home achieving a remarkable EnerGuide 88 rating from Natural Resources Canada. That makes it, says Mike Young of City Green, “approximately 59 per cent more energy efficient than if this home had been built to BC Building Code standards.” It will also save Rob an estimated $1,500 to $1,800 a year on his energy bills. Icing on the cake: the high EnerGuide rating also qualified Rob for $2,000 in incentives from the BC Hydro Power Smart New Home Program, and he’s eligible for the ENERGY STAR® Package incentive of $150 per home for installing qualified energy-efficient lighting and appliances. To find out more about buying or building a Power Smart new home, please visit bchydro.com/pshome.

We’re working with FortisBC to help you save energy.

‘Hire the person not the number’

ThirdQuarter to attend Chamber Business Expo

As the number of people working past the expected age of retirement increases, so too does the number of mature job seekers searching for meaningful employment and companies with skills vacancies. Dorothy Thach, in her early fifties, found herself unemployed after 20 years with her previous employer, “I knew it was time for me to try something new but I wasn’t sure how to go about finding my next job.” Enter ThirdQuarter — an innovative job service dedicated to experienced people aged 45 years and over, in the ‘third quarter’ of their professional and working careers. On the advice of a friend, Thach posted her resume on the ThirdQuarter website and so impressed the management, that she is now an account manager with the company having
