Minister visits Quicksilver LNG site Paul Rudan Campbell RiveR miRRoR
More than a thousand people used to work here. But now it’s just a skeleton crew at the old Elk Falls pulp and paper mill. But if you look beyond the empty production plants and warehouses, and past the rusting overhead spider web of conveyor systems, you might just catch a glimpse of the future. That’s what Teresa Wat was looking for when she toured the former mill site Wednesday. Wat is the new MLA for Richmond Centre and she’s also B.C.’s first-ever Minister of International Trade and Minister Responsible for the Asia Pacific Strategy and Multiculturalism. That’s a mouthful for anyone, especially a first-time MLA. But there are some big expectations for the Hong Kong native who’s fluent in both Mandarin and Cantonese. “I know Asian culture really well,”

she says with a smile. Wat will undoubtedly be a key player when she joins Premier Christy Clark’s 13-day trade mission to China, Korea and Japan, due to arrive in Beijing Nov. 22. And one of the central themes of the mission is to meet with investors interested in B.C.’s natural gas. More specifically, liquified natural gas (LNG) which is why Wat is touring the former mill site with representatives of Quicksilver Resources Canada. Quicksilver bought the mill site this year from Catalyst Canada for $8.6 million and promptly renamed it Discovery LNG. The plan is to build an LNG plant on part of the 400-acre industrial site and ship LNG to Asian markets. The main hurdle though is building a new and bigger pipeline. A natural gas pipeline is already in place on the Island (it crosses over from the Mainland at Texada Island), but it needs to be larger in order to make it financially feasible to build an LNG plant in Campbell River. Building a new

She was president and CEO of Mainstream Broadcasting Corporation, and has also served as the news director at Channel M Television (now OMNI-TV). Wat was instrumental in the launch of the first-ever live Cantonese, Mandarin and Punjabi daily television news programs in B.C. and presently sits on the board for the UBC School of Journalism. She’s also interested in
a lot more than LNG. In fact, Wat has been touring all sorts of industries across the province in order to better familiarize herself with what B.C. has to offer Asia. In addition to the Quicksilver site, Wat also visited Campbell River’s Flurer Smokery Ltd., the Shelter Point Distillery in Oyster River, and Coastal Black Estate Winery in Black Creek. As well, she began the day with her first-ever tour of a fish farm. “We went to a Mainstream operation and learned how great aquaculture is…and Asian people do love seafood,” she says.

MLA rides contrasting ferries Paul Rudan
Campbell RiveR miRRoR
There was nothing special about the no-frills ferry rides through Puget Sound, but at the end of the day North Island MLA Claire Trevena had a lot more money left in her jeans. “Six ferry crossings: $97,” she said in the aftermath of her five-day
fact-finding tour of the Washington State ferry system. In contrast, six separate crossings on a selection of BC Ferry routes will set a traveller back a few hundred bucks. That is if they choose to pay the price. For instance, consider this recent quote from Seattle Times travel editor Kristin Jackson who
used to gripe about her state’s ferry system until she paid the price in B.C., “The B.C. ferry was newer and spiffier than Washington State’s ships, but so what? To pay more than $200 roundtrip makes a big dent in a travel budget.” That’s the point Trevena is also trying to make with B.C.’s Liberal government. As Trans-

If the private travel insurer is the second payor, or what is sometimes called “excess insurance”, then you might find that your ICBC benefit entitlement will be used to pay your U.S. medical bills.

As a long-time Quadra Island resident, Trevena is well-acquainted with the daily ferry commute. She says the rising fares cause financial hardship for business, families and people on limited incomes. “We have strong economies on the coast, but they’re being stifled by BC Ferries,” she stated.

ferry users complain about rising fares and the hefty bonuses for executives, Washington State has its own issues. So far this year, more than 80 trips on different routes have been cancelled because the ferry system is under-staffed. Even worse is its aging fleet of ships which will need to be replaced over the next 20 years at an estimated cost of $4.2 billion. Then there’s the socialist aspect of Washington State ferry policy that appeals to New Democrats, like Trevena, and likely appalls most freee nt e r pr i s e - t h i n k i n g Liberals; and that’s the policy of building new ferries in Washington
State only. Trevena said it provides jobs and keeps tax money within the state, plus it supports a vast number of apprenticeships which is critical in a time when the skilled labour force is quickly diminishing. That said, pundits south of the border point out say the policy costs the state tens of millions more than needed. Nevertheless, said Trevena, it’s something B.C. should consider too. “Ship building is part of their social and economic infrastructure,” she said. “In B.C., after 10 years of the Coastal Ferries Act, it’s time for the Liberals to admit it doesn’t work.”

City clarifies drinking water situation Kristen Douglas Campbell RiveR miRRoR
The city is clarifying why it will no longer share its drinking water supply system with BC Hydro after the mayor suggested last week the city should use Hydro’s new water intake as a back-up. When council awarded design work of its new drinking water system at its Oct. 22 meeting, discussion ensued as to why the city couldn’t just tap into BC Hydro’s new tunnel which will be replacing the three penstocks that currently carry the city’s drinking water. S t e p h e n Wat s o n , spokesperson for BC
The three penstocks that currently carry the city’s drinking water supply will be removed by BC Hydro as part of the John Hart Generating Station upgrade project.

son said in a city press release. “For the city’s drinking water safety and reliability, it’s beneficial for both parties to have complete separation from each other’s infrastructure. We have to remember that an earthquake would likely affect water supply in that tunnel. In that kind of an emergency, BC Hydro would like have to de-water the tunnel for inspection. Also, BC Hydro’s new tunnel will be de-watered every two to five years for main-
tenance that could last for about two weeks. It is simply not a reliable source of water.” The city currently draws water from John Hart Lake which is delivered by the three penstocks at the John Hart Generating Station to the city’s water treatment facility. As part of the John Hart Generating Station upgrade, BC Hydro is removing the pen stocks for a more seismically sound single tunnel. That means the city
has to come up with a new way of drawing drinking water from John Hart Lake. BC Hydro has committed to pay up to 75 per cent of the costs for the city to build a new drinking water system while the city must make up the remainder. Mayor Walter Jakeway voiced his concerns at the Oct. 22 meeting that the city does not yet have a back-up plan in the case of an emergency Continued on 7

Water: City to get new system

and the city’s water intake fails. He suggested the city use Hydro’s new tunnel as the back-up. Coun. Andy Adams, council liaison to BC Hydro, said it’s not the most opportune solution. “ There have been comments made asking what’s the advantage of having a new source from a different area of the lake rather than using the three large pipelines that come from the dam down to the generating station now,” Adams said. “Along with being built to higher earthquake standards, the city’s new water infrastructure, that will go deep into the John Hart reservoir and below the draw-down zone, will be much more reliable than the current water supply source.
The city will determine requirements for a backup system and how to best meet future water supply demand, but it will not be coming from BC Hydro’s tunnel infrastructure.” Adams said in the end, the city will have a much more integrally sound drinking water system than exists today. “It is important to note that the city of Campbell River will be receiving a brand new structural and seismically sound, dedicated water supply system that will provide safe, clean drinking water for the next 50 years at a cost of 25 cents on the dollar, and possibly even less,” Adams

said. “With this solid partnership, we will vigorously pursue alternative sources of provincial and federal or other funding for the balance of the infrastructure costs.” Quick facts
n The city of Campbell River’s water license permits water from John Hart Lake to be delivered to approximately 35,000 people (including three First Nations reserves and some areas within the Strathcona Regional District)
n The Highway 28 watermain design work will be carried out by Stantec Consulting Ltd. at a value of $422,154
n Raw water has been delivered to the City’s water system directly from BC Hydro’s pipelines since 1947
n In July 2012, Council approved BC Hydro’s commitment to contribute 75 per cent of costs (up to $12.5 million) of the projected costs to construct a new, domestic water intake
n Campbell River’s high quality drinking water is treated with ultra-violet and chlorine disinfection. Raw water from John Hart Lake does not currently require filtration

Our View
We need nothing but the truth
Prime Minister Stephen Harper said in August that he wasn’t planning to appoint any new senators in the near future. No doubt his resolve has been strengthened in recent weeks. His appointments of Pamela Wallin, Mike Duffy and Patrick Brazeau We say: Prime to the Senate, at least of late, have not Minister Harper’s gone well for him. Now, Harper must distance himself from the people he credibility is at once recommended to an institution he’d like to do away with. stake He must also persuade Canadians that actions of the Office of the Prime Minister have only a tenuous connection to the prime minister himself. Harper is now claiming that former-journalists Duffy
and Wallin – previously valued fundraisers for the Conservative party – and their colleague Brazeau are guilty of abusing the public purse. That’s why he’s fully behind the senate resolution to suspend the three without pay or benefits – even though many have argued such punitive suspensions violate due process. But Harper must recognize there is also a perceived gap in his own credibility. He denied, when the scandal surfaced, that he was involved in Duffy’s repayment of unjustified living expenses, but his tune has been changing as the embattled senators voice their side of the story. Their accounts allege backroom deals to cover up the scandal, followed by threats from the PMO and senate colleagues to repay the expenses and, subsequently, to resign to avoid further embarrassing
the party. Now, Harper says he did tell Duffy – in front of his caucus – to repay the money claimed, although he categorically denies Duffy’s account of a private meeting between himself, Duffy and former PMO chief of staff Nigel Wright to discuss it. In response to questions about Wright’s $90,000 cheque to Duffy to cover the repayment, Harper – who previously said Wright “resigned” – now says Wright was “dismissed” for his lapse of judgment. While it’s clear the self-serving excuses of Duffy, Wallin and Brazeau have not rehabilitated them in the public eye, Harper should realize they have raised serious questions about his own credibility. It’s time for all the parties – including the prime minister – to testify under oath to get to the truth. – Black Press

Are big-five forest firms about to get a windfall? Shortly before the May election, the provincial government withdrew legislation that could have handed de facto control of publicly owned forestlands to a handful of forest companies. The contentious sections of the bill were dropped amid a swelling chorus of questions about why such a gift would be bestowed without any debate about what it meant for our shared lands and resources. It took little time, however, for the government to reverse direction again. During a campaign stop in Burns Lake, Premier Christy Clark said that if re-elected, her government would reintroduce the bill because that is what “the people” wanted.
Given that only weeks earlier largest forest companies operating in the government had pulled the bill the province fit the bill nicely. from the order papers in response to Between them, Canadian Forobjections from First Nation leaders, est Products, West Fraser Timenvironmental organizations, social- ber, International Forest Products, justice advocates and forest profes- Tolko Industries and Western Forest sionals, among others, the Products control the bulk Ben Parfitt premier’s choice of words of what is logged each Guest Column was, to say the least, odd. year in British Columbia.

In that forest companies, logging contracregard, the shareholders of the five tors, woodlot owners, First Nations
and communities. The most important and valuable of those licences are Tree Farm Licences. Holders of TFLs have exclusive rights to log trees over defined areas of land. Currently, TFL holders log about 11.3 million cubic metres of trees per year (a cubic metre equals one telephone pole). Of that, the top five companies control 9.1 million cubic metres or 80 per cent. TFLs are as close as one gets to private control of public forestlands in B.C. The next most important licences are forest licences. Forest licence holders have rights to log set numbers of trees over vast landmasses known as Timber Supply Areas or TSAs. But because many different
companies may hold forest licences within the same TSA, forest licences have less value than TFLs, which give one company exclusive control over a specific area. One other essential detail: the most valuable forest licences are “replaceable” or renewable. Far less valuable are non-replaceable forest licences, which are usually issued on a one-off basis to deal with perceived crises such as mountain pine beetle attacks or forest fires. Significantly, the overwhelming number of licences held by First Nations — who are typically on the outside looking in when it comes to benefiting from natural resources in our province — are non-replaceable.

Continued from Pg. 8
As with TFLs, the top five forest companies hold a virtual monopoly on replaceable forest licences. Two out of every three trees allocated under such licences are theirs. What the government now proposes in the name of “the people” is to allow the holders of replaceable forest licences to roll such holdings into far more secure TFLs. This could lead to near total control of public forestlands by an exclusive five-member club. In 2012 and in the lead-up to the 2013 provincial election, that club made $556,020 in political contributions to the Liberal Party and $115,200 to the NDP — big dollars for some, but no more than modest investments for a powerful handful of companies who have a very clear vision of what lies ahead. Entire TSAs — where trees are in

increasingly short supply and where what little timber remains is oversubscribed — are on the cusp of being rolled into TFLs. And the Gang of Five is well positioned to divvy up the spoils. Left on the sidelines would be First Nations, rural communities, small independent and value-added mill owners — people made poorer to give “the people” what they want. Whether the government’s second attempt at this legislation will move forward remains to be seen. It has promised a public consultation process of sorts. The voices of opposition were heard loud and clear in the lead-up to the provincial election. This time out, which people will the government listen to?

Leo to take Larry’s place

The story of Larry – the dog lost by Air Canada – and the Campbell River couple who intended to adopt the Italian greyhound may still have a happy ending. As it turns out, Larry has a brother, Leo, in need of a new home. Jutta Kulic, who has been caring for Larry and Leo since their original owner – a friend of Kulic’s – died of cancer last year has arranged for Duncan and Lynda White to adopt Leo. “Leo is our new Italian greyhound,” said Duncan White. “He is Larry’s brother from the same litter. When this whole incident started with Larry, (Kulic) mentioned that if Larry was not found that she had Leo as an alternative.” Kulic confirmed on Oct. 25 that Larry, who had been missing since he was let out of his crate by Air Canada workers Oct. 7, was hit on Highway 101 near the San Francisco airport and killed. Larry was supposed to fly from San Francisco to Vancouver then to Victoria where the Whites were to pick him up and
Leo, a two-year-old Italian Greyhound and the brother of Larry, a dog lost by Air Canada, is getting a new home with Duncan and Lynda White – the couple Larry was intended for before he was killed.
bring him to his new home in Campbell River. How e v e r, L a r r y ’s flight to Vancouver was delayed and Air Canada workers opened Larry’s kennel, despite detailed instructions not to, because of the time delay, said Angela Mah, spokesperson for Air Canada. “Employees had Larry’s well being as first priority when initially caring for him during the lengthy flight delay when he escaped,” Mah said. Larry slipped out of his collar, bolted and ran out onto the highway where he was struck by a car and killed, said Kulic. “He was critically injured and humanely euthanized, and I have the medical record,” Kulic posted on her
Facebook page Oct. 25. “I also have contact names and numbers for the individuals who kindly picked him up from the road and took him in. One stayed with him through the end.” For the past few weeks, Larry’s fate had been a mystery. No veterinarians in the San Francisco area had reported Larry coming in for treatment and there was no sign of him in the surrounding area where he had reportedly been hit. Mah said Air Canada followed up with veterinarian clinics to determine what had become of Larry. “Many of our employees are pet owners and animal lovers, and our San Francisco team in particular continued to
hold out hope that Larry would be found safe, and had continued outreach on a daily basis to a number of organizations in the local area,” Mah said. The Whites had also been holding out hope that Larry, who was to be a new companion for Duncan, would be found safe and sound. The couple had carefully selected Larry based on mannerisms he shared with the Whites’ Italian greyhound who died of liver cancer in June. Duncan is battling the same disease and Lynda hoped Larry would be Duncan’s new companion. After it was confirmed Larry had been killed, the Whites took Kulic up on her offer of adopting Larry’s brother Leo. “When the status of Larry was determined, we contacted Jutta and made arrangements for Leo,” Duncan said. “Lynda will be flying to Ohio to escort Leo back. “Apparently Air Canada is paying for the whole flight. This was requested by Jutta,” said Duncan, adding that “Air Canada has not called us about this.” Mah confirmed Air Canada will provide assistance to the Whites.

ampbell River’s Stu Neill was driving down Alder Street, towards his work site, when all of a sudden the world started spinning. Alarmed, but unsure of what was happening, Neill kept driving until he reached his painting crew near the Jubilee Parkway subdivision. “I arrived at the job site. At that time my right side was paralyzed so I leaned on the horn and the workers came running out and I was rushed to the hospital,” Neill recalls. “In a heartbeat, my life changed.” At the age of 55, Neill had suffered a stroke, caused by a blood clot that formed in his brain stem, which controls the heart and breathing. Neill says a doctor told him he was lucky to be alive, that for most who suffer a brainstem stroke it spells sudden death. “I consider myself very lucky, we don’t always get a second chance,” Neill says. But he did and he’s making the most of it. Before his stroke, which he suffered nine months ago, on New Year’s Day, Neill smoked two packs of cigarettes a day, had a bad diet, and a stressful, but wellpaying job. Neill owned the largest painting company on the North Island, Top Line Paint-

After suffering a brainstem storke nine months ago Stu Neill has changed his life and embarked on a new business venture doing “all types of errands.”
ing. After two months of recovery at Victoria General Hospital, where he learned to talk and walk again, and ongoing physiotherapy at Campbell River hospital, Neill was forced to give up his painting company. “It was too high pressure,” Neill says. “If I continued I was going to have another stroke so I decided to get into something a little more rewarding.” His new business is close to his heart. Errands 4 U is ran by Neill alone and is all about helping others. Any errand you can think of, Neill will do it. Since the business was incorporated three
months ago, Neill has largely been called upon by seniors with help getting to and from medical appointments. Just last week he drove a woman who woke up feeling ill to see her doctor, waited for her at the clinic, then drove her to the pharmacy to pick up her prescription before driving her back home again. Neill charges a flat rate of $25 per errand but he’s flexible on the charges. Other errands Neill will do include: picking up groceries, feeding pets while the owners are away, checking on people’s homes while they’re on vacation, and pick up and delivery to
the docks. He’s also driven a few people around who have come over on the ferry from Quadra Island, so they don’t need to bring their vehicles over. “I do all types of errands,” Neill says. “Everything and anything you can think of.” For Neill, it’s humbling work and he enjoys every aspect of it. “The work I’m doing is much more rewarding than what I was doing before and for that I’m very grateful. It was a second chance to do something meaningful,” Neill says. “There’s a lot of great people in this town who you’ll never meet unless you do this type of work.”
While it’s been an adjustment for Neill and his wife to go from two good incomes down to one, Neill says he’s better for it. “I kinda learned the hard way there’s more important things in life,” Neill says. “Quite often we’re worried about monetary things instead of our health and relationships. I don’t think we’re here for a big pay day.” Neill says he realizes his new line of work may not make him financially rich, but he’s living a richer life. He’s changed his unhealthy lifestyle and he exercises at least once every day; he hasn’t had a single cigarette since the stroke. Now his challenge is to form a client base for Errands 4 U. The Alder Medical Clinic and Evergreen Seniors Home (where Neill volunteers for Meals on Wheels program) have both circulated Neill’s business cards which has kept him going for the past three months. Neill also hopes his story will help others become more aware of their health. While he had no immediate warning signs the morning of his stroke, Neill says he had been suffering from short dizzy spells for six months to a year before the stroke. Still, Neill says the stroke completely caught
him off guard. “I thought I was in outstanding physical shape,” Neill says. “I could run with the best of them, seven days a week and then bang it was over for me. Between the cigarettes and the bad diet it almost killed me and
thank God I came back from it and I’m not going to make the same mistake a second time.” Neill encourages anyone who needs errands done to contact him at Errands 4 U. Neill can be reached at 250-2022292 or by e-mail at errands-4-u@shaw.ca

A team of community outreach workers are hoping to form a Campbell River group that will work to prevent homicides that are a result of domestic violence. Three guest speakers, who travel around the province to help local outreach workers form such teams, made presentations to 45 local health, police, First Nations and social service providers at the Maritime Heritage Centre Wednesday and Thursday. The workshop was initiated by the Campbell River Women’s Centre as part of its Walking With Our Sisters project – a three-year undertaking by the Vancouver Island North Women’s Resource
community co-ordination for women’s safety organization, along with Penticton RCMP Const. Jeremy Bubar, travel the province to help local agencies form ICATs. Hamilton said the teams work together to help those who are experiencing domestic violence. “They collaborate and people get together from different agencies such as RCMP, health, and women’s services organizations, to share information within legal parameters to keep women and children safer to provide interventions and accountability to the offender,” Hamilton said. Edinger said the ICATs deal with the highest risk cases of domestic violence and the goal is homicide prevention.
Const. Bubar there are a number of ways the team carries out prevention. “One of the functions of the ICAT team is to put together a safety plan to advocate for women’s and children’s safety,” Bubar said. Other ways the ICAT team may step in are by providing some funding to install a security system at the victim’s home; arrange for funding through Income Assistance; or arranging a stay at a transition house. It also includes working with the offender on rehabilitation. “We also work to support the offender so his level of violence is deescalated,” Edinger said. “We work to keep the women safe through deescalating the offenders.”
It’s business as usual says the president of the Campbell River-based
Pallan Group as the company goes through restructuring.
“We’re doing business every day,” Derik Pallan said Wednesday. “We’ve been doing business here for 50 years and we’ll be here for another 50.” On Wednesday, a legal notice in the Mirror announced that KMPG of Vancouver had been appointed receiver of the limited companies: Pallan Timber Products, Pallan Holdings and Howe Sound Forest Products. KMPG provides audit, tax, and advisory services, and will manage “assets, undertakings and properties” of the Pallan Group, excluding its main office and building located between Tamarac and Willow streets, along with some other assets. Pallan said they are working with KMPG and the bank to restructure their corporation which includes forestry, lumber sales and real estate holdings. The Pallan Group is currently in the midst of developing the Middle Point, located just north of the city. They’re working in conjunction with the Cape Mudge Indian Band to develop a commercial port along with forestryrelated industries. A formal announcement was expected earlier this year, but planning is still in the works. “It’s been a lot slower than we anticipated, but the project is 100 per cent moving forward,” said Pallan.

OF THE WEEK:
2014 RAM Roundup
What is it that appeals to you about the car?
The full-size truck market is big business for automakers and a big deal for the businesses and people who depend on them. For almost five decades the Ford F-150 has been the best selling truck, with little chance they will lose that crown in the near future. What has been happening, over the last few years, is a strong shift from General Motors to RAM in terms of establishing the second best selling truck brand. The rise in RAM popularity can be traced back to a few key changes over the last several years, from muscular styling to class-leading interiors, a refined ride, plus engine and transmission advancements. I drove the 2014 RAM model range recently, on a beautiful fall day, just outside of Toronto. The “RAM Roundup” was a great opportunity to get my hands on these new trucks well before they arrive at BC dealerships. Looks A big part of the RAM brand success has been built on the sturdy and macho exterior styling. Front and centre is a grille that was enlarged, but better integrated, for the 2013 model year. Depending on the trim the grille finish can be chrome, painted or with a different insert. This feature is one RAM owners love so, in this case, larger
is better. Behind the grille are “active shutters” that close at higher speeds to help send the wind around the vehicle to improve aerodynamic efficiency. The same idea was also behind the longer side step, which helps reduce buffeting down the side of the trucks. One option that I find fascinating, and would seriously consider, is the $1500 air suspension that can be lowered for easier entry into the RAM or loading into the bed. Plus this system automatically lowers over 100km/h to also reduce aerodynamic drag. At lower speeds and for off-road duties, the air suspension can be raised for better ground clearance. Having had a chance to drive several RAM trucks with this feature I notice the already smooth ride is even better and the cabin is further insulated from vibration. Inside In the past trucks were typically used for work. Today, trucks have grown in popularity because they can be rugged on a work site and luxurious for all occupants. Having driven the Ford and new GM trucks recently, I can easily say that RAM still has the lead in interior design and finish with the Chevrolet and GMC right behind. (Ford is looking dated but look for an all-new F-150 in 2015). The centre console can be equipped with an 8.3-inch Uconnect communications and entertainment screen. In addition, there is a large

Shooting for the perfect drive ‘‘
Keeping a healthy distance between your car and the one you are following is key.
’’
Keith Morgan
I keep hearing TV F1 commentary teams talking about the perfect race in relation to the now four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel. As I watched the German driver for Infiniti-Red Bull race team take the chequered flag in India on Sunday, the repeated reference to his perfect race reminded me of another open-wheel racer.
Back in the early 1990s, Vancouver Indy racer Ross Bentley strived for what he called the ‘Perfect Drive’, not on the track but on the roads of B.C. Ross, now coaching race drivers and street drivers in Washington state, always told me that he found the racetrack a safer place to drive. On the track he pretty much knew what other drivers were going to do, whereas drivers on the street were very unpredictable. And I was reminded of that the other morning when a young driver whizzed by me in the curb lane, then cut in front and crossed two more lanes to turn left at an intersection just a block ahead. Of course, he didn’t signal when he got there either! Ross devised a little game that he played every day while travelling to and from work across town. The Perfect Drive Concept was designed to help drivers concentrate and I can’t help it would a great game for us all to play some 20 years on from when he first outlined the idea to me.
“The idea is to drive smoothly at a constant speed with minimal braking,” explains Ross, who tells me he still tries to achieve the Perfect Drive daily.
Driveway 7x14
“To do so, you must anticipate light changes and ease off when you approach a stale green. You have to slow in such a way that if your passengers had their eyes closed they wouldn’t be aware of the exact point you stopped.” Keeping a healthy distance between your car and the one you are following is key. Others do cut into the space but they disappear as fast as they arrive. And even if you ease off to open it up the gap again, Ross figured if even 10 cars did that to you and stayed during the average trip you might lose a minute in travel time. “The Perfect Drive can be ruined by others so I try to figure out what crazy things they might do and adjust accordingly. If I have to brake jerkily in anticipation of the other driver’s move, I don’t deduct any points!” However, if you hold up traffic or disrupt the flow Ross Bentley coaching upcoming young US racer Colin Braun. then you deduct points. If you can let somebody in smoothly or provide an opportunity for somebody I love his final comment: “Oh, and if you drop a point halfway else to turn then you’re assisting the flow so he figured through, you don’t give up and drive the rest of the way like a jerk.” that was worth a few bonus points.” Give it a try, it’s fun. “The Perfect Drive can be different for everybody and you can work out your own scoring technique. I keep it simple and figure if I drop four points then that was nowhere near the Perfect Drive.

What women want when car shopping Women are a huge driving force (pardon the pun) in the car-buying world.
‘‘
Looks are great but it is the safety features women are after.
’’
Alexandra Straub
Studies show that around 60 per cent of new vehicles purchases are made by women. Further to that, matriarchs heavily influence decisions on car buying within the family, too – perhaps as much as 85 percent of all purchases.
While many hubbies would love a hot, little sports car, perhaps it’s not always ideal for, you know, life. Buying a vehicle is considered to be the second biggest purchase someone can make. The first is your home. So when someone says it’s not that big of a deal, it kind of is. Not only is it a long-term decision, but a financially significant one as well. It can also bring up many
emotions: excitement, stress, anxiety and more. Leading up to the 2013 Vancouver International Auto Show, I had the privilege of assisting six women with their new car purchases. They gave me a budget and a list of “needs and wants” and then we went to the drawing board. The experience opened my eyes to a few things. Though each of the women were looking for something different from each other, there were common threads that presented themselves. Here are a few of the top things I observed. Price Budgets are very important to everyone. And sticking to it was even more important for the women I worked with. Yes, there are always temptations to get a few extra bells and whistles, and if you can work it into your bottom line, that’s ideal. But the navigation package or premium sound system wasn’t a must-have. Warranties Additional warranties were paramount. For those not leasing and swapping vehicles every four years, having the extra bit of protection from wear and tear was something they wanted to accommo-
date in their budgets, especially those who drive frequently. Safety Looks are great but it is the safety features women are after. There’s a lot of technology out there. Sometimes it is even overwhelming. But things like airbags, ABS, traction control and even backup cameras (for the larger vehicles) were high on the priority list. Interior capacity/hatch Cargo volume is subjective in the sense where not everyone needs as much as the other. But when it was in the top three of “needs” sometimes thinking outside of the box was necessary. Sacrificing looks for functionality, again, is something that often happens. That said, it is not always the case, and with designs of vehicles these days, it is getting easier to have your cake and eat it too. Comfort in the car buying process The dealership experience plays a huge role in having that brand new vehicle sparkling on your driveway. In fact, you can’t really avoid it unless you’re buying through a private sale.
There’s still a stigma associated with car salespeople. Some say that as a woman, walking into a dealership has an automatic disadvantage. That’s changing. Most dealerships have female sales staff on the floor in case you’re more comfortable in that environment. No matter how good the product, if there’s discomfort or pressure in the buying process, can sour the sale. If that’s the case, there are always other options. The product is the same regardless of where you buy it from, it’s really the human element that can make or break the deal. Though, the women I worked with all had wonderful experiences. Ladies, if you’re looking at buying a new vehicle and would like some suggestions/assistance, email me and you could be featured in Driveway. Include your name, email address where best to be reached, a little bit about yourself, what you’re looking for and in what price range you need to work. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca Twitter.com/cargirlsgarage

I want to scream when I am stuck behind a car that fails to signal an intent to turn left until the traffic light turns green. It has to be one of the most inconsiderate acts, especially in congested areas. It’s also an offence, which carries a $121 fine and two-point penalty. Considerate drivers would realize their error and drive on. Ha! They don’t exist. What drives-u-crazy. kmorgan@blackpress.ca

This turned my thoughts to the tread on my tires and the question of how much tread is needed to stop and steer properly on wet roads. We know that tires are considered to be worn out at 1.5 mm or 2/32nds of an inch unless they are winter tires, in which case the limit is 3 mm or 4/32nds of an inch of tread depth. Is that really enough? It appears that if you intend to drive on wet roads 4 mm may be the minimum tread depth needed to stop and steer effectively. Without at least this much tread the tire cannot move water away from the tread fast enough to maintain adequate traction. To drive with less tread is not illegal until you reach the legislated minimums, but it may not be safe. One last thought and that is to buy a decent tire guage to keep in your glovebox. Use it every couple of weeks before you start out and make sure that the tires are inflated to the specifications on your vehicle’s tire placard. Proper inflation helps tread do its part to prevent hydroplaning. The author is a retired constable with many years of traffic law enforcement experience.

No doubt this morning was an intensely exciting one for a driver that I passed by this morning. She had obviously done some panicked steering on the rain soaked highway judging from the marks in the median and the amount of grass and mud in the fast lane. Others had already stopped to help and aside from being stuck in the median she and her vehicle appeared relatively unharmed.

Organizers of the fifth annual Big Truck Parade are hoping this year’s event will be bigger and better than ever.
Big Truck parade gearing up for Nov. 29 Organizers are gearing up for one of the most magical events of the Christmas season in Campbell River. The 5th annual Big Truck Parade is scheduled to go ahead as planned on Friday, Nov. 29. “The parade is magical,” says Jan Tess of the Downtown BIA. “There is nothing like watching these rolling works of art covered in lights.” Santa and Mrs. Claus have been
notified once again and they are bringing along a special Elf friend. The first parade featured 11 trucks, last year there were 37. “Thirty trucks have signed up so far (for this year’s event) and it is only Oct. 23,” Tees said. “We would like to have as many trucks as possible so if anyone wants to take part in this great event call Jan Tees at 250-287-8642 or email jantees@hotmail.com.”

Pumpkin Smash a go
The Comox Strathcona Waste Management (CSWM) service is holding its seventh annual Pumpkin Smash, a fun family event which keeps thousands of kilograms of pumpkin out of our landfills. The Pumpkin Smash will take place over two days in Campbell River and in the Comox Valley. The events are scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 2 and Sunday, Nov. 3 from noon to 5 p.m. In Campbell River it will be hosted in the parking lot of Strathcona Gardens recreation complex (225 South Dogwood Street) and in the Comox Valley it will take place at the compost education centre (4795 Headquarters Road, Courtenay). Residents are encouraged to bring their jack-o-lanterns and smash them into compost rather than simply throwing them away or leaving them on the side of the road. The CSWM service also encourages residents to share a photo of their carved pumpkin before celebrating its last hurrah. Visit www.cswm. ca/composting.

McWilliams and Jake Blanchard. As the game settled, Mainstream Canada created several chances and were able to score two goals before halftime, courtesy of Evan Farmer and Kevin Shelswell. Mainstream Canada continued their fine play in the second half with quick, smart passing throughout the entire pitch and great penetrating runs from outside midfielders John Jepson and Zach Tillapaugh. Campbell River went on to tally six second half goals, including three from Shelswell to give him a total of four on
the day, and singles from Cody Dodge, Shane Berry and Tillapaugh. When the visiting team were able to get the ball and attempt an attack, they found it difficult to penetrate a strong and smart defense which included centre backs Aidan Anderson and Shane Berry and outside fullbacks Cody Dodge, Colton Reesor and Tyler Kelly. Had the visiting team been able to get a chance on goal, they would have faced a formidable goalkeeper in Shane Dumanoir. The final score was 8-0 in favour of the divi-

The Storm acquired Braydon Horcoff (1994) from the Princeton Posse and, later in the same day, the team acquired Campbell River native Dom Kolbeins (1996) from the Sicamous Eagles of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League (KIJHL). Horcoff, from Prince Rupert, started this season with the Posse playing 12 games and notching nine points (two goals, seven assists) and played the last two seasons with the the Castlegar Rebels where he won a KIJHL Championship last season.

The Storm player going the other way is Californian Paul Ramsay who will play for Princeton. Kolbeins first played Junior for the West Sound Warriors of the NORPAC Jr B league in the United States. Kolbeins finished last season with 38 games played and 45 points.

He brings a physical element and a high compete level down the middle of the ice,” Jensen continued to rave about the recent additions stating Kolbeins is a, “dynamic forward that creates energy every time he is on the ice.

Monsters of the Fiddle concert Folk veteran plays Merville house concert Clear the decks for the Monsters of the Fiddle. Canadian fiddling heavyweights are coming to the Big Yellow Merville Hall on Friday, Nov. 8. Not since Irv “Snakeskin” Weisenheimer was on the entertainment promotional scene has there been so much excitement in local fiddling circles. Virtuoso Canadian fiddler, Calvin Vollrath, has teamed up with a threetime Canadian Grand Masters fiddle champion, Mark Sullivan; and multi talented old time/ jazz fiddler, Daniel Lapp, to play a show that will definitely frizzle your bow hair. Vollrath has toured the world for three decades bringing Canadian old time fiddle music to enthusiastic audiences. In addition, he has composed over 300 fiddle tunes, many of which have become fiddling standards. It was Vollrath who wrote and arranged the electrifying music for the Canadiana fiddle extravaganza that was part of the 2010 Winter Olympic opening ceremonies. He regularly plays at sell out concerts where he stuns audiences with his incredible expertise and total command of the instrument. Typically, fiddlers in the audience are reduced to a state of shock, while others often threaten to burn their beloved instruments, such is the impression he makes.

More than half of working age people in BC have difficulty reading or writing, which makes it difficult for them to be a part of our changing economy. Be a part of the solution! The CR Literacy Association has students who need volunteer tutors. Volunteer tutors work one-on-one with adults and youth wanting to improve their English skills. Everyone is welcome!
Training for volunteer tutors Nov. 12, 13, 19 & 20 5:30pm until 8:30pm at Robron Centre
British Columbians cannot read this sentence.
More tutors are needed for these programs: Adult Literacy tutors work with learners whose skills in reading, writing, and math are at a low level. ESL tutors work with youth and adults who are learning English as their second language, (reading, writing, and pronunciation). The above programs are free of charge, thanks to funding from the Government of Canada and the Province of British Columbia.
If you are interested in becoming a tutor for either program, phone 250 923 1275 or email Julina Spetch at info@literacyforall.ca for more information.

Koomens’ Utah trip a success Campbell River’s Jacob Koomen, an avid cyclist, arrived home from the World Senior Games in Utah a winner. The sportsman, who is in mid-60s, travelled to St. George, Utah where he competed in four different cycling events earlier this month. Koomen was one of 10,000 athletes from 26 different countries who made the trek for the 27th annual Huntsman
World Senior Games. “ The weather was absolutely fantastic,” Koomen says. “About 29 or 30 degrees celsius.” And that translated to good results on the course for Koomen. He began his journey on Oct. 8 with a fivekilometre hill climb in the 65-69 years-old age group and finished in fourth place. The following day, Koomen raced in a
20-kilometre time trial and placed seventh. Koomen followed that up the next day with the Criterium event where cyclists give it their all around an oval track for 2.28 kilometres over 30 minutes. Koomen placed fifth in the Criterium but wasn’t far off the mark. The second, third and fourth place finishers all had the same time and Koomen was just 28 sec-
onds behind them. On his final day, well adjusted to the elements, Koomen had his best race of the games in the 50-kilometre road race which challenged cyclists with several steep climbs. “It also happened to be my wedding anniversary and I topped it up with a second place finish,” said Koomen who plans to return next year for the World Senior Games. And next time around,
he’ll be sure to arrive in Utah a few days ahead of time. “One thing I did learn is the people who made the podium were the ones that came down a few days before to get their body adjusted to the altitude,” said Koomen who added he made the mistake of arriving the day before his first cycling event. The games were the perfect way to wrap up Jacob Koomens competed in four different cycling events at the World Senior Games.
Koomen’s 2013 cycling resume. In May, Koomen travelled to his native Holland to ride in a cycling tour a longside his
BC Hydro 5x10.71
younger sister, Mieke Kroon and in June, Koomen took on the gruelling Ride2Survive from Kelowna to Delta to raise money for cancer.

ROB MICKELBERRY’S JOURNEY TO THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY
GRILL
PROCESS PROCESS
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,” he was determined it would not cost a fortune to run.
250-286-6650
Save.ca Save.ca 2x5 2x5
Rob Mickelberry
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.
Mauve Friday is Coming.
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.
Mauve Friday is Coming.
PROCESS PROCESS
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.

The online survey will take about 35 to 40 minutes, erasing the need for readers to spend long periods of time on the phone answering questions. “We are very excited to be a part of this service to the business community,” says Black Press group publisher Dave Hamilton of the Campbell River Mirror. “We are pleased to be able to offer this information and are certain it will be beneficial.”
The Pulse Research survey has already been successful for businesses. In fact, one client took the results of the research to the bank and
was able to secure a loan to expand their business, on the strength of the research. Among the benefits of the study is allowing

businesses to identify niche areas of their business, including showing potential areas for growth or expansion. Pulse Research was
founded in 1985 to provide publishing clients with research-based advertising sales and marketing programs designed to get results.
They are able to deliver insight to businesses who are currently faced with an ever-changing mix of products and services, including web,
niche, special sections and deals. Check out pulseresearch.com/vi to complete the survey and to enter the prize draws.
