Judge ponders fate of former PAC treasurer Continued from Pg. 1
and theft over $5,000. Howe ve r, charge s against her were dropped by the prosecution in exchange for husband’s guilty plea and that didn’t sit well with other committee members, who believed she had far more to do with the thefts. “They’re not especially happy with the way this has turned out,” Crown prosecutor David Fitzsimmons told the court. Jessica Taylor was chair of the advisory committee and her husband was the treasurer when proceeds in 2011 from fundraisers to build a new school playground never made it into the group’s bank accounts. Neil Taylor later told police the family was
running short on money for rent, bills and food, and used the donations to pay for those things. He had intended to repay the money, but never did until other committee members suspected something was amiss and he came clean with them which led to a lengthy RCMP investigation and charges. F it z s i m mons tol d Judge Brian Saunderson this is not an uncommon crime. N e i l Ta y l o r h a s repaid the full amount, $9,189.25, but that’s not the point said the prosecutor. “It’s not their money,” he said. “This is a crime committed after it’s been thought through.” Fitzsimmons called for a jail sentence or a “rigor-
ous community sentence order.” He added the primary consideration must be general deterrence, especially for others who are in positions of trust with community-raised donations. Defence lawyer James Hormoth called on the judge to impose a community sentence, meaning that Neil Taylor would not go to jail. Hormoth described his client as a, “Dedicated husband and father. A hard-working man who fell on hard times.” Neil Taylor is now working at a camp job and spends 20 days in Alberta and eight days off at home in Campbell River.

About 12 local business owners attended a public open house Wednesday to speak about shipping containers but most quickly started to wonder why they were even there. A poll of the room revealed everyone in attendance, minus three councillors and two city staffers, was against the city’s proposed bylaw to restrict the use of shipping containers to industrial zoned properties only. City Planner Chris Osbourne, who chaired Wednesday night’s meeting at the Enterprise Centre, said the proposed bylaw was drafted in response to complaints from the public about the visual impacts of containers. Richard McCay of Rich’s Auto Collision asked Osborne just how many people complained. Osborne’s response? “I can’t answer that.” When pressed again, Osborne responded that he “didn’t have that information.” That prompted Dave Christian, with the Campbell River Harbour Authority, to say he didn’t think there ever were any complaints. Kermit Dahl, owner of Associated Tire, agreed.
“I think some city planner made this up because he had nothing else to do,” Dahl said. Dave Atkinson was also skeptical. “I think we’re so skeptical because we don’t perceive these containers to be a problem and if there were a problem we’d sure see the people down here complaining about them,” Atkinson said. “I guarantee if they didn’t like them, they’d be here. They’d be vocal about it, and they’re not.” During a public hearing into the shipping containers at city hall July 23, only one person – Alan Edie, owner of the Campbell River Common mall – spoke in favour of the proposed bylaw while everyone else spoke against. That prompted council to hold off on making a decision until the city heard from the business owners who stand to be affected. Christian, who spoke from his experience with the Harbour Authority, said that banning the containers was taking away a legitimate tool from legitimate businesses. “We’ve lost the Canadian Fishing Company barge and a lot of fishermen have gone to these containers and I would describe it as the perfect tool to do the job,” said Continued on Pg. 5

Plan needed to deal with McIvor Lake fire risk
www.CampbellRiverMirror.com www.CampbellRivermirror.com
Kristen Douglas Campbell RiveR miRRoR
The McIvor Lake area poses the greatest risk for a wildfire in Campbell River. That’s according to a recent report conducted by Strategic Natural Resource Consultants for a Community Wildfire Protection Plan. Leigh Stalker, a professional forester with Strategic, said while the threat of wildfires for
most of Campbell River is low, there are areas that caught the attention of the consultants. “The far, far majority of the areas came out mild or moderate (risk) but a few were high, such as the block around McIvor Lake,” said Stalker during a presentation of the report to the Strathcona Regional District board on Wednesday afternoon. The reason being, there are a lot of conifer-
ous trees growing close together and the area is somewhat remote and difficult for firefighters to access because of the long, gravel road that winds around the lake. There’s also a locked gate blocking access to the homes. Other areas of concern are Gordon Road because of the high concentration of trees, and Blue Spruce Mobile Home Park on Duncan Bay Road.
However, Stalker was quick to point out that wildfires within the city boundaries are not very common due to “regulation from the ocean.” The fires that do ignite are typically not a result of Mother Nature. “ The far majority of wildfires here are human-caused which indicates there is potential for a drastic reduction of wildfires with various prevention strategies,” Stalker said.
the nth degree is counter productive. It’s not okay. There’s an opportunity for making some common sense guidelines but to banish them to just industrial and the outskirts is going to cause so many problems.” At the public hearing in July, Ross Blackwell, the city’s land use manager who was not in attendance at Wednesday’s open house, said the bylaw was in response to complaints about the aesthetics of the containers. Some of the business owners, however, think there’s a better way to go about eliminating the eyesores. A representative from E&B Helicopters
Wednesday night suggested to Osborne that city staff could regulate the use of the containers to ensure they’re cleaned up and painted to match the rest of the property. Mayor Walter Jakeway told Osborne the city should just drop the issue all together.
“The easiest way to do it is to just not bring this back to council – just drop it,” Jakeway said. “This is terrible timing with the economy just recovering. Just drop it.” Coun. Ron Kerr, who was also in attendance at the open house, backed the business owners.
Containers: ‘A non-issue’ Continued from Pg. 4
Christian who noted fishermen use them to store machinery and other necessary supplies. “It’s going to create a lot of problems for that industry if they lose that tool, they don’t have the store front.” Christian said from his point of view, containers are not a ballooning problem in Campbell River and he doesn’t understand why city staff have latched on to shipping containers. “What has instigated this issue? We’re all scratching our head, why is this such a problem?” Christian wondered. “This is a non-issue. To micro-manage this to

Those strategies should include public education and increased training. Stalker suggested it may be beneficial for the local fire department to offer basic fire suppression training for city officials to improve local operational knowledge. Strategic’s report also recommended improved fire-fighting efficiency in the McIvor Lake area
such as installing a fire hydrant at the top of General Hill and looking into an alternate water source near McIvor Lake residences such as a water tower. The report also suggested bylaw improvements such as allowing the Campbell River Fire Department to respond to wildfires outside of the local service area.
While the report was specific to Campbell River, the report was requested by the Strathcona Regional District. Campbell River is the last of the regions within the regional district to have its Community Wildfire Plan updated. The report and all of its findings will be submitted to Campbell River city council for review.

Our View
B.C. needs NDP to be sharp and ready The ins and outs of the BC NDP’s 2013 provincial election defeat would bore all but the most hardcore supporter. But there is one good reason to at least acknowledge that the exercise in selfflagellation had to be done, even if We say: Party you’re not inclined to actually read the party’s 20-page election review released needs effective last Friday. leadership for The reason is this: There is no other game in town. Sorry, Conservatives watchdog role and Greens, the New Democrats have the history, the base and the infrastructure so until something better comes along, they are the province’s
best chance at keeping the BC Liberals honest. Right now, the next election isn’t a big concern and the NDP can lick their wounds all they want. Premier Christy Clark is still in the honeymoon phase of her term (according to a recent Angus Reid poll, she’s the second highest rated premier in the country). She may even have something going for her, having learned some tough lessons from her predecessor, and she’s cleaning house. True, Clark hasn’t been tested much in the legislature but we know what to expect when she finally walks through the door. She’ll defend to the teeth her government’s Core Review of Everything including the Agricultural Land Review, the budget, the throne speech
and anything else that’s thrown her way. But one day, even Clark’s government will seem dated. A party too long in power rarely escapes folly, arrogance and scandal (and you can be excused for thinking the BC Liberals had reached that stage before the May election). When that day comes, as it will, B.C. will need a thickskinned leader, sharp of retort and without stain to be in fighting mode. The NDP review holds out some hope that this will be the case. Is the party’s review too much “whine” and not enough cheese. Yes, it lacks punch and has a sour smell. But if it puts teeth back in the tiger keeping an eye on our leaders, that will be a good thing. – Black Press

Cheap and easy solution
Instead of an expensive engineering adjustment to accommodate buses turning right from Shoppers Row on to St Anns, perhaps the city can find a cheaper, easier solution. Perhaps they could move the stop line for traffic turning left from St Ann’s on to Shoppers Row, moving it back up St. Ann’s by seven or eight feet. This solution is already used in other intersections in town and could be used here, giving buses plenty of room to navigate the corner. And all it would take is some paint. Grant Warkentin Campbell River
Time to get rid of the Senate
The disgusting debacle in the Senate has shown one thing, we don’t need them. They have not done a single thing in over 100 years. Mr. Harper recently shut down the Vancouver Coast Guard station, putting mariners at risk to save less than $1 million. The wages for 106 (friends and losers of PMs) comes to almost $14 million. That is the cheap part, remember they all have to have secretaries, they travel first class everywhere they go. They can take their families with them and they have one of the best health and insurance plans in the country It is time. Grandfather them out and don’t replace them, find somewhere else to place your friends Mr. Harper and future prime ministers T.M. Brewer Campbell River
Logger Mike gives the city a lesson in tree growing
Paul Rudan No, really
I saddled up to the counter, awaiting a steaming rooibus tea, when a low voice displaced the pleasant conversation I was making with the cute server. “Quercus coccinea, therein lies the problem,” Logger Mike stated ominously with a righteous nod. “What? Are you having a stroke?” I replied testily at the interruption. Big Mike smiled, tipped his yellow hat to the bemused young lady behind the counter and thumped me heavily between the shoulder blades. “I’ve got this guy’s and I’ll have coffee – black, straight up,” Mike said with a wink. Again, nothing but surprises from Campbell River’s oversized sentinel who towers over the rest of us and sees and hears all from his downtown spar pole.
“You must want something,” I replied. “No, no, just throwing the dog a bone,” he said, cackling with laughter. “I just thought it was time you learned something truly important about our city.” I said nothing and awaited the revelation. “Look around,” Logger Mike began with a sweep of his long arm, nearly knocking the coffee off the next table, “We’re surrounded by forest and somehow we haven’t learned to properly grow trees in Campbell River! Here, lemme show ya.” We strolled Shoppers Row as small children gawked at the huge yellow man while their moms continued texting and driving, and he pointed up. “Platanus x acerifolia,” he said, plucking a leaf.
“Okay, enough Latin, just spell it out,” I said impatiently. “It’s the London plane tree and while they might look pretty, their roots are bad news for the sewers and all the underground infrastructure,” he said matter-of-factly. “And they’re driving the business owners nuts!” He continued on to the corner of the highway and St. Ann’s Road, “Quercus coccinea, remember?” he said, looking at the blank look on my face. “They are the new scarlet oaks the city just planted on their newly repaved street and they just could be worse than the London planes!” I scoffed, “No, no, that’s not what the city said, they will contain the roots and the trees won’t grow...” “Stop! You believe everything the city tells you?” he asked. “Let me point out
that a full-grown scarlet oak can have a 50-foot canopy AND acorns much larger than your average oak. “To make it worse, when you contain a tree that’s supposed to grow big, you’re probably going end up with the toothpicks we had on South Dogwood.” H’mm, he was starting to make sense, yet again, as I thought of the spindly, stunted and dying trees on South Dogwood that hadn’t grown two inches in 14 years. They were recently uprooted and will be replaced with 80 European hornbeam trees, which don’t exactly sound like a native species, like the scarlet oak. “And what about your downtown twig? Nervous?” I asked Big Mike. “Nope,” he said with a wink. “I made sure they used plenty of concrete to anchor my spar pole!”

Fish: Coho returns were also healthy Continued from Pg. 1
research shows that 200,000-250,000 is the maximum the river can support. In other words, says Ewart, more spawners results in the same number, or fewer, juvenile fish. By trying to reach the ideal “escapement” numbers, the goal is to provide young salmon with more than enough space to feed and grow before they head out to sea. Coho salmon returns were also healthy this year. Up until the recent rainfalls, anglers were catching Oyster River and Black Creek coho just south of the city. And when the rains fell, the coho started up the Campbell and Quinsam rivers as well. “They’re coming in right now. They were getting anxious,” Ewart said last week. “Last year we had about 8,000. So far we’ve counted about 6,500 and there’s more to come, probably 1,000 to 2,000 more.” There were some big chinook caught in the Tyee Pool at the mouth of the Campbell River this year, but river returns were down, to about 4,000, but the count continues. “It’s on the low side of average. This age class looks bigger, older and larger, but there’s not as many. It’s the same on the Puntledge and Qualicum (rivers) too,” noted Ewart, who is otherwise pleased with fish returns. “It’s been another big year.”
view last month, “but we think the returns are very strong. So far we’ve tagged 30 per cent more fish this year and it seems a lot of fish in the river are large fish.” Gale is president of the Gillard Pass Fisheries Association which is working to revive the run of wild chinook on the Phillips River and Lake system located on the Mainland, east of Campbell River. The system supports all five species of Pacific salmon, but it’s the iconic big chinook that needed the most help. That’s why the association embarked on a pilot project that takes wild Phillips brood stock, transports them to
the deep and cold waters of Great Central Lake on Vancouver Island, and then returns them after a full year to the Phillips systems. The goal is to produce more robust smolts which migrate to sea, are better able to survive ocean conditions, and return in greater numbers. They’re in year three of the fiveyear project, and this fall some of the first fish – now four years old – are expected back. And that’s why Gale is hoping for the early Christmas. The data retrieved from this year’s catch of brood stock won’t be ready until December, and Gale is
anxious to see the numbers. “During one brood set this fall, we caught 84 chinook – and the average size of more than half the fish was over 30 pounds,” he said. The Gillard Pass Fisheries Association is supported by the Kwiakah First Nation, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, and the many fishing resorts scattered through the Discovery Islands. During the association’s annual fundraiser on Stuart Island in August, more than 350 people came out – including Canadian icon Rick Hansen – and raised more than $130,000 to support salmon enhancement.

But antifreeze is lethal in small doses, so it's best to keep pets out of your garage and away from your driveway, where antifreeze may leak. Antifreeze can prove especially harmful to pets if it contains ethylene glycol as the main ingredient.

This will help to remove excess particles and prevent your pet from getting ill when the animal licks its paws clean. Keep pets indoors on cold days Don't allow pets outside when the temperature falls below 20 F, as pets are at risk of frostbite or hypothermia when exposed to such temperatures. Puppies, kittens and short-haired pets may be more susceptible to the cold and should be kept in when temperatures dip below 40 F.

Look out for animals seeking shelter Outdoor cats and other animals may choose your car engine as a cozy place to spend the night. A warm engine provides enough heat to ward off the chill. You may have a cat under your hood and not know it. Beep the horn before starting the car to scare the animal away. Otherwise the cat could be severely injured when the car is started. Do not leave a pet alone in a car It is unwise to leave a pet unattended in a parked car. It may seem that the interior is warmer than outside, but the temperature in the car can drop quickly. Never leave a pet locked in a car, especially in harsh weather conditions.

Paws&Claws For people who
their pets.
Fleas in the winter time? Fleas are blood-feeding parasites that can infest many species of birds and mammals. Although there are different kinds of fleas, the most common fleas that affects our pets is the cat flea. Flea bites can trigger severe allergic reactions in some pets. The flea saliva contains histaminelike substances that can be irritating. This intense itchiness can be so extreme that it causes pets to scratch, bite and chew themselves excessively. This can lead to skin wounds, and infections, and general misery for your pet. Even in your pet is not allergic to flea bites, fleas can transmit serious diseases, such as bartonellosis (the bacteria that
causes “cat scratch disease’ in humans). There is also a close relationship between tapeworm infestations and fleas.
Fleas are very successful parasites. They can survive for long periods of time under a surprising range of conditions. Developing fleas
can even become dormant for up to 1 year if there are no hosts available. You can bring fleas into your home on your clothing, and any people or animals that come into your home can also bring fleas with them. Once fleas find a host, they begin to feed almost immediately. They lay large numbers of eggs, which eventually mature into new fleas that continue the infestation. Adult fleas may remain on an animal, but the eggs and larvae fall off the animal and remain in the environment. Flea larvae are mobile, and they can hide in places such as carpeting, bedding, furniture, and under baseboards. Once they mature, they take the first opportunity to jump onto an animal or person and begin to feed, continuing
their life cycle. Campbell River harbors fleas year round and the majority of skin issues that we see this winter are due to flea infestation or flea allergies. The Campbell River community should be aware that issues are not just prevalent in the spring and summer, but all

Quest, while Shannon Falls, by Ralph Ford, takes us to Sea to Sky country. The Great Steamboat Race and Cotton Ferry Expedition, with their unique sound effects and hints of rag time and Dixieland, suggest the early days of the river boats on the Mississippi River.

Smith’s The Water is Wide. Explorers came to North America in tall ships. Half Moon on the Hudson, by Michael Sweeney tells of a voyage of exploration, nearly 400 years ago, by Henry Hudson on his ship, the Half Moon. Jay Chattaway has given us a powerful and exciting piece of music with his Parade of the Tall Ships. The world of Broadway and the movies is represented by a medley of highlights from Show Boat, and an arrange-
ment of Mancini’s Moon River. Bands and marches go together, so the concert will end with Kenneth J. Alford’s stirring Armies of the Nile. The Campbell River Community Band, made up of musicians all ages and abilities, has been playing together for eighteen years. They have played in many concerts and festivals, including a gold medal performance at a national band festival. Tickets for the concert are $5, or $12 for a family, and are available at the door.

Concussion is a3X4 Brain Injury? You don't have to have passed out to have suffered a concussion.
Some people will have obvious symptoms of a concussion, such as passing out or forgetting what happened right before the injury. Others will only experience brief gaps in memory or disorientation. Minor concussions can cause serious problems. Repeated concussions or a severe concussion may lead to long-lasting problems with movement, learning or speech. Because of the small chance of permanent brain problems, it is important to get the right diagnosis and treatment. We can act on your behalf to get you the best medical specialist possible.

Question
Cadillac in the rear-view mirror of the European premium brands 2014 Cadillac CTS One auto trend that shows little sign of waning is the move towards more luxury or premium cars by manufacturers and consumers alike. As baby boomers age, they have earned the nicer things in life, and the offspring of baby boomers are getting used to the finer things in life, so more automakers are moving upscale. The Europeans do luxury and performance better than most and the Japanese luxury brands have been putting in their time to becoming a real force. But long before the Japanese, there have always been the American luxury brands, with many firsts in features and technology. Established in 1902, Cadillac is one of the oldest, along with Mercedes-Benz, and continues to be General Motors’ flagship in terms of refinement and technology. Looks The smaller Cadillac ATS was released a year ago and went on to win the North American Car of the Year award. General Motors has taken that platform and elongated it to produce the lightest mid-sized car in its class. It’s a full 173kg lighter than the benchmark BMW 5-Series it competes against, and 34kg lighter than the outgoing car. A lighter car, made of

Verdict The price of the CTS ranges from about $51,000 for the base model to $66,000 for the top premium trim level. The Vsport, high performance model is priced at almost $75,000. The Cadillac CTS is not an inexpensive car, but it offers many features like standard heated and vented leather seats, Bose stereo and push button start even on the base model. Compared to some of the other mid-sized luxury sedans it is less expensive, plus it is a worthy car for any driving enthusiast.

Drive Smart BC A Green Light Doesn’t Always Mean Go The next time you are at the front of the lineup waiting for the signal to turn green, watch the driver beside you. Many times when the traffic signal turns green they will immediately proceed without looking to the left or right for hazards or traffic already lawfully in the intersection. A green light doesn’t always mean go. There are three situations where drivers facing a green light must not proceed immediately. Most people already follow these three exceptions, but failing to take them into account can cause confusion or a crash. The first of the three is a situation where turning direction controls are in place. The driver may only proceed as indicated by these signals. The second is where there is a pedestrian lawfully in the intersection or adjacent crosswalk at the time the signal is green. Drivers must yield to these pedestrians. The final situation is where a vehicle has entered the intersection waiting to turn and has been unable to do so before the signal goes red. Cross traffic on the new green signal must yield right of way to allow the first vehicle to clear the intersection. The author is a retired constable with many years of traffic law enforcement experience. To comment or learn more, please visit www.drivesmartbc.ca. Cst. Tim Schewe (Rtd.)

That said, her father is of a vehicle, there’s accomplished a possibility you can an racecar driver change your life or and a proficient motorist, so you the lives of others. could argue it Alexandra Straub was an inevitability. But she had to find the desire in herself first. What followed, even she didn’t think would happen. She recently took home the championship title for the B Spec series in her Mazda2 for the 2013 race season. She grew up in a motorsports household but it wasn’t until she actually got behind the wheel at the driving course that her mindset changed. “I was just overwhelmed with all of the technical aspects that it takes to be a good driver,” she stated. It’s like what my grade 12 math teacher always said, “Math is not a spectator sport.” There was even a poster on the cubicle wall to remind us. The same thing goes for driving. Except there’s no poster in the cubicle for that! We need to be an active participant, not a wallflower. Anyone who has taken advanced driving courses will know exactly what Cherie is talking about. It’s not just about knowing how to shift gears on a manual transmission without jerking the car, or parallel parking your sedan without curbing the rims. Driving is so much more.

I understand that this mode of transportation is a necessity for many. And it’s something done out of convenience rather than love. Kind of like laundry or grouting the bathroom floor tiles. Then again, for others, it’s a passion. Myself included. Taking a specialized course, whether it’s a track day or a race school isn’t just for wannabe racers. It’s for everyone. And we can all learn if we have an open mind. We read to keep our mind sharp. We walk/run/ work out to keep our bodies active. We sleep to keep our bodies functioning. Why should driving be any different? Why shouldn’t we actively engage in making ourselves better drivers? Every time you get behind the wheel of a vehicle, there’s a possibility you can change your life or the lives of others. We might not think too much about it, but operating a vehicle is a huge responsibility. Poor driving habits, not shoulder checking, not using your signals, driving in the left lane when you’re not passing are minor details in the grand scheme of things, but have a large impact. It’s never too late to refresh the basics and B.C. racecar driver Cherie Storms then pick up a few new good habits. If the pros do it, we should to.

Mercedes-Benz E-Class 2010 to 2012 An all-new 2010-model year E-Class Coupe beat its sedan counterpart Even though into Canadian owner costs tend Mercedes-Benz to be higher than dealerships, in mid-2009. average, the Style, safety E-Class made and comfort are Consumer Reports’ fundamental characteristics of ‘Recommended an E-Class, which list. is considered to be one of the Bob McHugh safest cars in the world. This generation E-Class came with ten air bags and a new Pre-Safe system that readies all on-board safety systems, when it detects that a collision may be about to happen. A car to savour on a long road trip, this E-Class came with a new “Intelligent” body structure that’s 30 per cent more rigid than its predecessor, incredibly comfortable seating and a newly developed suspension with shock absorbers that automatically adjust to a driving situation.
‘‘
’’
An optional air suspension was also available with an electronic damping system. The E350 (coupe or sedan) is powered by a 3.5 litre V6 with 268 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. The E550 (coupe or sedan) has a 5.5 litre V8 that can generate 382 hp and 391 lb-ft of torque. The sedan also comes in a high-performance AMG 63 edition with a 6.2-litre V8 that makes 518 horsepower and 465 lb.-ft. of torque. All three engines are mated to a 7-speed automatic transmission and drive goes to the rear wheels of the Coupe and to all four wheels of the Sedan. The rear-drive 3.5L V6 gets best fuel economy at 11.9 L/100/km in the city and 7.6 L/100/km on the highway. The 6.2L V8 is the gas guzzler, with a city/highway rating of 16.5/10.2 L/100/km. All three engines also prefer premium fuel. A standard Dynamic Handling package also allows the driver choose a sporty-set-up at the touch of a button. This changes the continuously variable damping, the speed-sensitive power steering (with variable centering), ESP/ASR (traction control), accelerator response, and speed of automatic gear changes. New active safety innovations included Attention Assist, which is a driver drowsiness monitor, PreSafe, which is preventative occupant protection system, Adaptive High Beam Assist, which automatically dims headlight high beams, and
an automatic emergency braking system called Distronic Plus. Attention Assist is a warning system that can sense a drop in driver attention level. It continuously monitors more than 70 different driver performance parameters, such as erratic steering behaviour, and will signal when it’s time for the driver to take a break. Four new E-Class models were added for the 2011 model year: an E350 4MATIC station wagon, E350 BlueTEC diesel sedan, and two convertibles, the E350 cabriolet and E550 cabriolet. At highway cruising speeds you can barely hear the E350 BlueTEC diesel engine, throttle response is fast (for a diesel) and pulling power (398 lb ft of torque from 1600 to 2400 rpm) is phenomenal. Engine upgrades followed in 2012. The E350 4MATIC got a direct-injection 3.5-litre V6. The E550 4MATIC got a 4.6-litre bi-turbo V8 and the E63 AMG got a 5.5-litre bi-turbo V8. All models also receive a revised transmission, electric power steering and LED license plates. Even though owner costs tend to be higher than average, the E-Class made Consumer Reports’ ‘Recommended list of cars to buy and the E350 BlueTEC was singled out for special praise. If style, comfort and safety top your auto “wish list”, and you’ve got the money, consider the remarkable Mercedes-Benz E-Class.

Truck tires tread lightly in the snow ‘‘
Remember that your four-wheel drive vehicle may help you get going quicker than other vehicles but it won’t help you stop any faster.. Ian Harwood
’’
The temperature is starting to drop, the leaves are clogging up the streets and snow is beginning to fall in parts in parts of B.C. Driving in the winter season brings challenges no matter which part of the province you call home. My remarks are aimed chiefly at truck owners but the
message is common for all: driver and vehicles must be equally prepared. In winter, braking and stopping vehicles of all kinds is perhaps where most of us get into trouble. The tires play a critical role in stopping the vehicle, and so they need even more care and attention than in the other seasons. Most SUVs have a passenger car tire classification with M+S stamped on the sidewall, for Mud and Snow and are considered all- season tires. If it is not, your vehicle must be fitted with tires suitable for any type of climate, even the most severe ones. In winter the pressure of the tire must also be controlled more frequently. This is because a reduction of the outside temperature causes a contraction of the air inside the tire, accelerating the normal and gradual pressure loss process by a value around 1-2 PSI for each 5° C decrease in
temperature. Contrary to popular opinion, a lower inflation pressure than normal does not improve tire traction on snow. It makes them much more prone to damage. Always remember that in any season and with any temperature, insufficient pressure is always the main cause of tire damage. Use brakes carefully. Brake early. Brake correctly. It takes more time and distance to stop in icy conditions. Watch for slippery Driving in the winter season brings challenges no matter which part of the province you call home. bridge decks, even when the rest of the pavement is in good condition.

Drives-U-Crazy… Solid line lunacy It seems to me that few people know when it is permissible to turn left across a solid centre line. If you can make the turn without hindering people behind you that is fine but if you can’t – drive drive on because it’s the law. I live near a hospital and see people break this rule daily, allowing cars to stack up behind while they wait for a clearance in traffic to complete their turn.

People point and laugh at Jim Knowles when he drives his Smart Fortwo Electric Drive through downtown Campbell River. But he and his wife Catherine have the last laugh when they open up their hydro bill. “I think the last bill was just a few dollars more than the one we got before we bought the car in July so that’s inexpensive driving,” said Knowles. “I work out at the airport and so I travel about 10 kilometres each way every day. I never let the battery

In the summer, Knowles said he can easily get up to the 160 km range on a single charge but knows the Vancouver Island winter will take that down to around 120 as the wipers and heater take their energy toll. “We moved from Ladner three-and-half years ago with our Smart Diesel. I think people here thought we would by something a little bigger – this is the truck capital of the Island after all.” But they came back from a car-shopping jaunt from Richmond with the little electric car, which set them back around $26,990 less a generous BC government rebate of $5,000. “We stopped in Qualicum Beach to charge it for a couple of hours and made it back here easily.” The car charges on what is called a level one (basic) charger but with rebates now offered on fast char-
Jim Knowles’ Smart Fortwo Electric gers, they are contemplating investing in one. Knowles got in touch with Driveway to tell of his experiences with the smart car, following our launch piece on the BMWi3 electric car a few weeks ago. We would like to hear from others, who are driving pure electric vehicles in rural areas. Electric vehicles are frequently dismissed as being good only for urban dwellers. The Knowles couple are demonstrating they can serve people outside of ma-
jor cities. Admittedly, they don’t travel far each day but then surely that’s the case for many rural residents. Yes, trucks, larger cars and SUVs will always dominate in parts of the province where are harsh winters are commonplace and distances travelled are greater. But cars like the Smart and i3 maybe have a role to play as a family’s second vehicle in those locations. What do you think? keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca
he 14th annual Campbell River Christmas Gift Tour gets underway today and continues until Sunday. The idea began 14 years ago with a group of crafters and artists as a way to sell their products in their own home environment and create an event that has stood the test of time. While the organizers have changed over the years, two of them have been at the helm for the past seven years of the event. They have watched it grow and change over time and some years busier than others as artisans and home based businesses come and go. This years event takes place Nov. 15-17. It is a wonderful way to get into the Christmas spirit while getting a head start on your shopping in a fun and unique way. The variety of gift items is endless. From beautiful native carved ceramics, jewelry, rustic birdhouses, photography, handknit ponchos, fabric creations, handmade

Body work practitioner fundraises for local trauma and abuse counselling centre R
egistered Acupuncturist Niels Christensen will offer all proceeds from reduced rates for his services during a one-day fundraiser on Friday, Dec. 6 to aid the North Island Survivors’ Healing Society – Trauma and Abuse Counselling Centre (NISHS). For 18 years Christensen has practiced both acupressure and acupuncture as owner of the Acupuncture and Body Care Clinic on South Dogwood. “I’ve referred hundreds of clients to NISHS for counselling for more than a decade,” he said. He’s reduced his regular fees and is requesting a minimum donation of $20 for each neck release – a key method of relieving pain and muscle shortening associated with whiplash, headache, carpal tunnel, shoulder issues, etc. Acupuncture sessions are available for a minimum donation of $40. For those who would simply like to make a donation to support NISHS’ work, there will be representatives available on site to issue charitable tax receipts. As a long-time health practitioner, Christensen said he has expe-
rienced the connection between past traumatic experiences and physical issues in his clients directly. “What you experience in life leaves a signature in your body. If experiences, such as abuse, are not fully processed it’s stored in the primitive part of your brain and becomes hardwired into you,” he said. Traditional cognitive therapy can be hugely helpful, the body’s remembered physiology remains in its former state of anxiety and stress, he added. The somatic or body centred counselling that NISHS offers is required to bypass the reactionary response in the body to get to the root of the trauma. Christensen sees his role as helping people who have experienced a variety of trauma become aware that feelings coming up through body manipulation are normal. He strives to create a safe environment to explore these feelings and encourages his patients to seek the services of NISHS. Christensen recounts the story of a woman who had experienced childhood abuse. “She’d made a great deal of progress through

the years in counseling and came to me with a specific body pain issue,” he said. “The precise placement of the acupuncture needles brought back details of her abuse, including the remembrance of a specific smell that she simply couldn’t tolerate. After several appointments with a counsellor
at NISHS the aversion to it was gone and no longer affected her.” The professional counsellors at NISHS work with both women and men who have experienced a range of symptoms stemming from trauma and abuse. Counsellor Celia Laval said, “Clients come to counselling to resolve a
number of issues stemming from overwhelming events. It is an extensive list that includes witnessing or experiencing violence, injury and abuse in childhood. Sometimes it’s adults in active duty, those who have been in automobile or workplace accidents, medical trauma, elder abuse or financial abuse.
“Many people don’t think of the aftermath of these events, she observed. Even an event that seems to be resolved when the threat ends may not feel like that to the person.” She has several examples to illustrate the point. victim of a serious animal attack may feel
constant panic and experience nightmares long after the attack has occurred. Soldiers and refugees frequently have ongoing problems. A large percentage of people who experienced repeated abuse in childhood subsequently live most of their adult lives in extreme fear, or disconnect from themselves and the larger world. An individual who sees their home burned or washed away in a flood sometimes has residual issues that can be resolved in counselling. To make an appointment for an acupuncture treatment or an acupressure neck release for Dec. 6, call Christensen at 250- 286-1848. Sessions will vary in length from 20 minutes to more than an hour. His office is at #6 – 522 S. Dogwood Street, beside the Elks Lodge. NISHS began operations in 1993. All counselling at North Island Survivors’ Healing Society is either subsidized or by donation. The Society is funded by the Province of British Columbia, the United Way and community members who support NISHS through annual fundraisers.

Energy loop installation going in circles
www.CampbellRivermirror.com www.CampbellRiverMirror.com
Kristen Douglas
Campbell RiveR miRRoR
The installation of an innovative heating system for Strathcona Gardens is still waiting to get underway. The Strathcona Gardens Commission approved awarding construction of an energy loop to a Victoria company in August but construction is yet to begin on the heat exchange
FRiDaY, FRIDAY, NovembeR NOVEMBER 15, 2013 2013 || Campbell CAMPBELL RiveR RIVER miRRoR MIRROR || 27 27
system. The energy loop is designed to take excess waste energy produced in the Strathcona Garden’s compressor room and use it to heat the pool. Russ Hotsenpiller, the Strathcona Regional District’s chief administrative officer, said while the pieces have been ordered and built, there are two outstanding issues. One involves funding
and the second is the project completion date. The regional district was awarded a grant from the Gas Tax Innovations Fund with the stipulation that the project must be completed by Dec. 31, 2013. The regional district is trying to request an extension into early 2014 to accommodate the energy loop’s estimated completion date of Jan. 14, 2014.
Construction is expected to begin on the project within the next week. Part of the hold up revolves around funding. With a $299,750 grant from the Gas Tax Innovations Fund the project was said to be 100 per cent funded. However, the project was awarded to Accent Refrigeration at a cost of $319,750 plus taxes – which was the lowest bid
– and additional project costs for electrical, contingency and taxes has put the total project cost at $404,750. That leaves the regional district with a $105,000 shortfall which Hotsenpiller said the Gas Tax fund cannot accommodate. “Staff have made enquiries…and they have confirmed that the funding is over-subscribed and there is none available
for the projected overruns associated with the Energy Loop project,” Hotsenpiller said in a report to the Strathcona Gardens Commission. “They did indicate however that this project, which is funded 100 per cent under the Innovations Fund umbrella, is Community Works Fund agreement eligible and that the SRD could stack one grant on top of another.”
That would required that the city and Area D (south of the city) dedicate its Community Works funds to the project. Otherwise, Hotsenpiller said the $105,000 could be covered by the capital reserves account. A decision was expected to be made at the Strathcona Gardens Commission directors’ meeting on Wednesday morning.
go in 50/50 with Campbell River Minor Hockey. The regional district board on Wednesday voted unanimously in favour of spending the money and amending the 2013-2017 financial plan to accommodate the purchase. Dawn Christenson, financial services manager for the regional district, said that while there is money available, changing the financial plan was still necessary. “Staff have projected that there is sufficient unallocated capital funding in the 2013 capital plan to fund this purchase, due to other projects being completed under budget,” Christenson wrote in a report
to the board. “However, at the time the fiveyear financial plan was adopted, the replacement of the score clock was not a priority.” The offer from minor hockey, though, was the perfect opportunity for the regional district to upgrade its hardware. The existing clock, which is 17-years-old and has lights burnt out, was installed at Strathcona Gardens in 1996 when the smaller of the two rinks was first built. It was donated to
Strathcona Gardens and at the time, was valued at roughly $3,000. To replace it with a similar model would cost less than the $5,000 the regional district is planning to spend on a clock, but Josie Rohne, Strathcona Gardens manager, said the new clock will be a noticeable improvement. “We have an opportunity to upgrade to a model that will offer improved energy efficient LED lighting, reduced maintenance
costs, a life cycle of 20 years and a much larger and clearer clock for the community to view,”
Rohne wrote in a report to the Strathcona Gar-
dens Commission last month.
Regional district board sees this as a good time to get a new clock Kristen Douglas Campbell RiveR miRRoR
Arena two at Strathcona Gardens is expected to be outfitted with a brand-new score clock after the Campbell River Minor Hockey Association made the regional district an offer it couldn’t refuse. The organization has offered to chip in $5,000 to purchase an upgraded model that is expected to be brighter, larger, and last much longer. The Strathcona Gardens Commission, which includes directors who sit on the Strathcona Regional District board, last month recommended the regional district spend $5,000 to

It is with heavy hearts and deep sadness that we announce the passing of a special man. Gottfrid was a beloved husband, brother, uncle and a dear friend. Gottfrid was born in Replot/Vaasa, Finland and came to Canada with his parents and siblings in 1950. After graduating from high school, he worked for the Royal Bank for a few years. Then he decided to join his parents in their logging business and later he and his brother Floyd formed their own business. Gottfrid loved the ocean, fishing boats and anything related to Marine Traffic. Left to mourn are his loving wife Sonja, sister Doris, brothers; Floyd (Ann), Kjell (Gail), nephews; Steven (Shelley) Moren, Glenn (Nicole) Moren, Trevor (Cindy) Norrgard, Carl (Kirstin) Norrgard, Eric (Amanda) Norrgard, niece Krystal (Keith) Harrison and special friends Carol Storback and Bill and Carol Hill. Also brother and sister-in-law, in Germany, Berthold and Kathi Zoller. We love you and miss you so much. Until we meet again, dear Gottfrid. Special thanks to Dr. Coetzee for his care for Gottfrid over the years, and all the nurses at the ICU in the hospital. In lieu of flowers, donations to the ICU would be appreciated. Cremation has taken place. A Celebration of Life will take place on Wednesday, November 20, 2013 from 1:00-4:00pm at the Royal Coachman Inn, Carriage Room, 84 Dogwood Street, Campbell River.

Agnes McKay
Wally Bell passed away peacefully on November 9, 2013 with his family by his side. Predeceased by his wife Margaret Bell, he leaves behind his sister Nona Stromgren, his four daughters; Joanie, Brenda (George), Jackie (George) and Cindy (Kevin), his grandchildren; Sonya, Troy (Kelsey), Riley, Damien and Devin, and his great-grandchildren; Laykin, Marley and Nikolas. Wally was very proud of his family and enjoyed spending time with them. Wally was born on LuLu Island (Richmond, BC) and being the son of a police officer, he moved and lived all over BC, finally settling in Port Alice where he met Margaret, his wife of 52 years. He was a millwright mechanic until 1964 when he moved his family to Campbell River. He worked at the Elk Falls Mill until he retired, got bored and then took a job with BC Hydro for a few years. Wally loved hunting, fishing, boating, was a dedicated Shrine member and a past Grandmaster of the Masonic Lodge. Wally and Marg loved to roam around in their motorhome with their beloved dog Sheena. Wally enjoyed many lifelong friendships and was loved for his generosity and eagerness to help others. Being a jack-of-all-trades, he could fix anything and if the parts were not available, he would make them. After losing Marg, he liked spending time with his “second family� at the casino. The family extends their thanks to the many nurses and doctors at the CRGH. Please join us in celebrating Wally’s life at 1:00pm on Saturday, Nov. 16, 2013 at the Masonic Hall, 2905 North Island Highway, Campbell River. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Wally’s memory to the SPCA or a charity of your choice. Losing Dad/Grandpa has left a huge void in our lives, however we are comforted knowing that “Archie and Edith� are back together.
It is with profound grief that the family of Agnes McKay announce her sudden passing on the afternoon of November 10th. Agnes is survived by Neil, her loving husband of 37 years. She also leaves her son Patrick Hales and daughter Angela Hammon, her stepchildren Terri Adams, and Tracey Gibson as well as her four granddaughters; Jasmine, Krissy, Stephany, and Tiffany. Agnes loved to travel and enjoyed her garden. She was an avid volunteer with the Fish and Game Club and played bridge regularly with folks at the Ironwood Seniors’ Centre. A celebration of Agnes’ life will take place at a later date, however any donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation (1888-754-5274) in her memory would be greatly appreciated.

Heidi Adele Peterson November 30, 1956November 6, 2013 Heidi Adele Peterson, a vibrant spirit of Vancouver Island, passed away peacefully on November 6th, surrounded by family at the home of her daughter in Campbell River. Born in Seattle, Washington on November 30, 1956 to Warren and Sherry Peterson, she was raised on Quadra Island. Her family owned April Point lodge during its heyday as a premier resort, where Heidi grew up taking care of guests from around the world. Her concern for the well being of others became an integral part of her character, noted and appreciated by all who knew her. After extensive travel to the American Southwest, Australia and New Zealand, Heidi returned to Vancouver Island to raise two children, Evan and Alaina. She then put herself through school at North Island College where she earned an arts degree and started her own graphic design company, Chameleon Creative, still successfully in business in Campbell River. Her love for life was contagious; she always managed to make time to contribute to the community in many different ways, sitting on the board of the BPWN and Chamber of Commerce. Heidi also designed and participated in a complete remodel of her home in Willow Point as well as finding the time to travel to China, Europe, Mexico and Central America. Heidi led a full life and left it with peace in her heart and love for those around her. She will be greatly missed. A celebration of life will be held on November 16th at 2pm at the Maritime Heritage Centre. In lieu of flowers, please make contributions to the ALS Society or the North Island College Foundation addressed to the ‘Heidi Peterson Memorial Bursary’.

STEIN-THORE NYMANN March 13, 1948 October 20, 2013 Always ready to discuss any topic until the sun came up, Stein lost his final heated debate with cancer on October 20, 2013. Stein was born in Norway and moved to Campbell River in 1978 with his young family. He spent over 20 years in Campbell River before moving back home to Norway in 1999. Stein leaves behind many family members in Norway, including his mother, one brother, one sister, a son (Paal & Kjersti) and three grandchildren as well as many other extended family. Here in Campbell River he leaves behind one son (Tommy & Jenny) with two granddaughters and one daughter (Carrie) with one grandson and another granddaughter. Stein was a very social person and a list of friends and acquaintances from his time in Campbell River would be long and varied. So if you’re thinking of Stein, raise your glass, slam your fist on the table, laugh out loud and dance a hole in the floor because if you ever spent a full night with Stein you were likely to have experienced all of the above and probably some good food to go along. Life goes on, sadly less one mischievous, smiling Norwegian. A service for Stein was held in Kirkenaer, Norway on October 29, 2013.

Young Masters go undefeated
Mainstream Canada Young Masters, who play in Division 4 of the Vancouver Island Soccer League, faced their toughest competition on Sunday as they visited Zgoda Juniors F.C. in Victoria. The Young Masters went into this pivotal match at the top of the standings but only three points clear of second place Zgoda. The last time these two teams faced each other they drew 2-2 in Campbell River. The game proved to be as exciting and hard fought as predicted. In the first half, Zgoda’s skilled forwards put pressure on Mainstream Canada’s defence which included Aidan Anderson, Tyler Kelly, Cody Dodge and Colton Reesor. The Young Masters stood up well to the challenge and allowed few clear chances on goal. When Zgoda did break through, Mainstream’s goalkeeper Shane Dumanoir stopped everything that came his way, including a well taken free kick from the top of the penalty area. The only goal of the first half came when Young Masters forward Shane Berry headed home a perfectly placed corner kick by midfielder Kevin Shelswell. Mainstream Canada started the second half brightly and were rewarded with their second goal of the game after Colton Reesor made a terrific run with the ball up the left side of the pitch. He crossed the ball into the penalty area and continued his run into the 18 yard box, where it was played back to him and he hammered it past the helpless Zgoda keeper. Zgoda quickly answered back with a well worked goal that was tapped in by the team’s central striker. Both teams had more chances to score near the end of the second half but the Campbell River side were able to hold on to win by a final score of 2-1. With the win, the undefeated Mainstream Canada Young Masters now enjoy a commanding six-point lead in their group. Their next game is in Victoria on Saturday versus SFFC Originals. Kickoff is at 6 p.m. at Tyndall Park.

Battling Bandits
Marine Harvest Bandits’ Krista Drake battles for the ball against a Courtenay Revolution on Sunday at Willow Point Park. Campbell River’s Marine Harvest Bandits battled hard to a tough, 0-0 draw against the Revolution.
The REHN Atom A Tyees travelled to Victoria last weekend to participate in the Saanich Minor Hockey Remembrance Day Tournament. The players were full of energy, and highly excited to play their first game early Saturday morning inside the huge Save On Foods Memorial Center against Sooke. The Tyees came out flying, and applied pressure early, but the Sooke goalie stood strong and weathered a barrage of shots. At 8:23 of the first, center Evan Billard won the draw cleanly back to point man Ashton Birchard who fired a howitzer shot through traffic top shelf. This set the tone for what would be a smooth 5-0 victory, with Jacob Thomas, Breydan Riecker, Alex Continued Pg. 35

Sharks feed on opposition The Campbell River Sharks midget hockey team won the championship game in tournament play this weekend at Rod Brind’Amour Arena. Competition included teams from Powell River, Port Alberni, Nanaimo, Comox Valley, Lake Cowichan and Port McNeill. The Sharks emerged from the round robin undefeated with a 3-0-1 record and faced the second place Campbell River Wolves for the gold medal.
In an earlier game, Cowichan Lake Fuller Lake Flyers won the bronze medal with an 8-2 win over the Comox Valley Courtenay Motorsports Grizzlies. The showdown for gold between the Sharks and the Wolves on Sunday afternoon was a duel to the end in front of a boisterous crowd. Scoring opened four minutes into the second period with Carter Coblenz of the Sharks scoring his fifth goal of
the weekend. The Wolves’ captain, Ethan Fox, tied the game later in the second period. Then the goaltenders took over with Michael Sampson of the Sharks and Austen Hack of the Wolves closing the door in an end to end game. A 1-1 tie after regulation time was followed by an exciting but scoreless overtime leaving a shoot-out to decide the game and the gold medal. Jaret Knowles of
the Sharks and Brenden Travanut of the Wolves both scored on each team’s first attempts but the next three shooters of both teams were beaten by the goalies. The preasure was placed on the Wolves after the Sharks’ fifth shooter, Zachery Allemekinders, found the five hole with a shot, putting the Sharks ahead. Goalie Michael Sampson then made one final save to give the Sharks the gold medal victory.

I remember at bedtime my Dad and I used to read Charlotte’s Web, The Wind in the Willows, Watership Down—anything with talking animals. That’s what really struck my interest in reading and writing.
It wasn’t until I was 12 and started reading Mark Twain that I became excited about journalism too. Since then I’ve been engulfed in the idea of sharing my own and the publics’ opinions and ideas. Within the community, I’m on the Rotary interact team, as well as the Youth Action Committee, a local student council. A year ago, I traveled to Ottawa to study journalism, broadcasting, and the media medium. At school, I started a newspaper club and now, writing for the Mirror, I seem to have found a sustainable outlet. Outside of writing I also participate on the Carihi improvisation teams, I play various roles intermittently through the acting department and I am a fan of independent media, vintage paraphernalia, and visual arts.
Even as a young child, Larissa Melville was always getting her hands dirty. All around her, there were things she didn’t understand and a natural curiosity had Larissa Melville been sparked by it. The need to be out exploring was a priority, and with paper and pencil in hand, she poured thoughts into words. Writing had been a way to share her visions with others, and as Larissa grew, she continued to cherish the skill and refine her works. Living and being raised in Campbell River had been a great experience, even if she hadn’t known it then. Her past year spent at Carihi Secondary was eye-opening, and now she plans to return what she learned to those who are curious about what’s happening at the high school. Where do the opinions of our generations’ teens lie? Read to find out.

She is now a Karra Macintosh Carihi student that loves writing. Her interest in writing started in grade nine when Karra was influenced by her best friend and her great short stories. Most often Karra loves trying new recreational and outdoor activities, creative art, and is intrigued by new possibilities and anything out of the ordinary. When Karra graduates in 2014 she is thinking of moving to Vancouver to start college and continue her writing career.

Movald, and Ethan Vaton each scoring for the Tyees. Game two was a much tighter game against the Saanich Braves. Billard opened the scoring at the 14:15 mark of the first, burying his own rebound. The play went back and forth, seemingly shot for shot, until Thomas scored an unassisted beauty 9:26 of the second frame. Saanich came right back and buried one of their own, getting them within one. From there the game turned into a battle. Billard scored his second at 12:10 of the third, but with just over three minutes left, Saanich scored again. Despite tense moments, time would eventually run out on Saanich, and the Tyees won their second straight game, 3-2. On Sunday, the Tyees played only one game, but again they came out strong. Defenseman Brett Ruehlen opened the scoring in as he walked in from his point and fired a laser beam wrist shot that found nothing but mesh. Helpers including goals by Bryce Idiens, Jacob Obuck and Brian Majic allowed the Tyees another easy win, defeating Juan de Fuca 6-2. You could hear a pin drop during the moment of silence before their
g am e on Mon d ay. Spectators and players alike stood in respectful silence; honoring, remembering. The Tyees found themselves in a must win situ-
ation against Langley, a win that would get them to the championship game. Early in, both teams had chances, but you could almost sense that this one would be a

goaltenders duel. Unfortunately, for the first time in the tournament, the Tyees didn’t score first. The Langley goal, scored with 3:45 remaining in the first, would hold up
until almost midway through the third, when Ethan Vaton finally scored with a determined shot to tie it up. Tyee goaltender Josh Doherty, stood on his head until
the final buzzer; this one was going to be decided by a shootout. It wasn’t meant to be for the Tyees in this character building game, and they were defeated 2-1.
