City staff not backing down on container ban Kristen Douglas Campbell RiveR miRRoR

The great shipping container debate has returned to city hall. City staff were recommending

council, at its Tuesday meeting, proceed with restricting the use of shipping containers to industrial-zoned properties only and host a second public hearing. Chris Osborne, city planner, said

A Merville man suspected of robbing banks in Comox and Campbell River is in custody. Comox Valley RCMP arrested the 25-year-old following an extensive investigation that included tips from the public. The man, whose name was not released, was arrested Dec. 13, after Mounties executed a search warrant at an undisclosed address. According to police, on Dec. 9, around 9:55 a.m., a man wearing a disguise entered the Coastal Community Credit Union in Comox. He approached a teller, said he had a gun and fled with some cash. Around 2:15 p.m., in Campbell River, a suspect with a similar description robbed the Bank of Montreal (BMO) on Shoppers Row. Once again, the robber fled the scene before police arrived. Mounties continue to investigate both robberies. The man under arrest has been charged with two counts of robbery and has agreed to remain in custody. He’s due to appear in Courtenay provincial court on Jan. 2.

Containers: Businesses oppose bylaw Continued from Pg. 1

businesses, approximately 25 have voiced opposition to the bylaw; nearly all of whom have indicated that they use shipping containers in

some capacity.” Osborne noted that in contrast, the city’s two commissions, which are made up of members of the public and are designed by council to

gather input from the broader community, are both recommending council proceed with the bylaw. Osborne said the bylaw was drafted in response to “numer-

ous complaints” received from the public that the shipping containers are eyesores. The city is trying to control the problem by restricting their use to

just industrial sites and banning them from industrial and residential properties unless they are being used as temporary storage on building sites. Osborne said appli-

cations to use containers would also be looked at on a case by case basis. But business owners who use them for storage purposes say it will hurt their business because they will be forced to build expensive, timely additions which many can’t afford. Those owners, many of whom operate in the Campellton area, relayed that message to Osborne at a public meeting Nov. 13. That meeting followed a July public hearing on restricting shipping containers which saw at least 10 people voice their opposition to the proposed bylaw and one speak in favour. That prompted council to hold off on adopting the bylaw until first consulting with the city’s business community – the majority of shipping container users. That consultation came in the form of November’s public meeting at the Enterprise Centre across from city hall. At that meeting, business owners again voiced their frustration and concern, but Osborne questioned how representative their feelings are of the entire community. “It is important to note that most attendees represented interests focused in Campbellton rather than the broader

community,” Osborne wrote. “Both functionally and geographically, attendance therefore represented only a narrow section of the community with a particular business-oriented focus.” Osborne also pointed out the use of shipping containers runs contrary to the goals of the Campbellton Neighbourhood Association which is working to beautify that end of town. “Clearly, regulation of shipping containers represents only one component of overall beautification, but it would be part of a pattern of incremental changes and initiatives which together will add up to a significant change for the better,” Osborne said. “While many present at the meeting agreed that if containers were used, they should be kept in good condition and painted to match existing buildings, there was little to no support for the regulation that would actually achieve those ends.” City staff were recommending council hold a second public hearing so that council can give third reading to the bylaw and move forward. Council was expected to make a decision during Tuesday’s council meeting after the Mirror went to press.

Christmas Hamper Delivery Day is Saturday The Community C h r i st m a s Hamp e r Depot is in the same location as the past two years beside Banners in the Tyee Plaza. On delivery day for the hampers this year the Knights of Columbus are once again appealing to the residents of Campbell River to help build and then deliver the hampers.

While the procedure for the building of the hampers has not changed, there is a change for the many people who bring their vehicles to aid with the delivery on Saturday. The access route used the past two years is not available due to the new construction in the area immediately north of Banners. They have

therefore been forced to adapt and have set up the procedure that follows. Drivers are asked to line up on Roberts Reach on the ocean side of the Island Highway across from Mcdonalds Restaurant. They have enlisted the services of professional flag people who will direct drivers to the loading area (behind

Help is needed to build the hampers on Friday afternoon about 2:30 p.m. (to get a head start) and again on Saturday morning from about 8 a.m. until the task is completed.

Bomb threat forces evacuation of schools

WEDNESDAY, DeCembeR DECEMBER 18, 18,2013 2013 || Campbell CAMPBELLRiveR RIVERmiRRoR MIRROR | | 55 WeDNeSDaY,

A bomb threat that forced the evacuation of North Island College and Timberline Secondary School is under investigation. Tom Longridge, superintendent for School District 72, said the RCMP is looking in to the incident which cancelled classes at both schools on Friday. “We were told this is under investigation by the RCMP,” Longridge said. “It is exam week at the college – I don’t know if that had any bearing.” Longridge noted the threat also came on the

eve of the one-year anniversary of the Sandy Hook Elementary school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut and it was a Friday the 13th. RCMP were notified of the bomb threat, which targeted the Campbell River and Comox Valley North Island College campuses, through a note found in the community, according to School District 72’s website. Campbell River RCMP Sgt. Terry Deley said the police would not be releasing any other information to thwart copycats. Timberline student Nick Cox said he was

in the middle of his TV productions class, which was doing a live broadcast, when the fire alarm sounded just before 10:15 a.m. All the students evacuated the shared Timberline and North Island College building but were unsure of what was going on. “On my way out, in the hall I saw our viceprincipal and I asked if it was a drill and he said it wasn’t,” said Cox, a Grade 11 student. “We had to stand outside in the cold for half an hour before the teachers came back and told us it was a bomb threat and they dismissed

us for the rest of the day.” Longridge said the decision was made to send the students home because it was cold and raining and most of the students weren’t dressed properly because they had to exit the building so quickly. “We were told by the police that it would be an extensive search of the building and they told us it would be an extensive period of time,” Longridge said. “We made the decision that it wasn’t safe for the students to stand out in the cold for a lengthy period of time.” The superintendent noted that the school

The Area D Ratepayers Association received an overwhelming response to its new society at its inaugural meeting last Wednesday night. In spite of the cold weather and icy roads there was standing room only at the Oyster Bay Resorts. Chairman Rod Nugent, Vice-Chairman Bob Solc and Director Pat Evans had been planning for the meeting over the past few months and were hoping around 50 people would show up, with 20 or 30 of those signing up for

memberships. To the group’s amazement, approximately 120 area residents attended and by the end of the evening the association’s membership stood at approximately 70 members – a far cry from the original three. “We were overwhelmed by the size of the turnout and delighted by the response to the concept of our organization” said Solc, a retired geological engineer and eightyear resident of the area. “Overall, it was a very positive experience.”

During the open mike session local residents were given the opportunity to express their main local concerns. Chief among the residents’ concerns was the ongoing Area D sewer controversy which by sheer coincidence had taken on renewed focus that very morning with the announcement by the city of Campbell River of its plans to annex large sections of the northern portion of Area D in the near future in order to connect to the existing Campbell River city sewer system.

Nugent, a retired dentist and long-term resident of the area, invited members to get actively involved in supporting the work of the group by contributing their ideas or volunteering on sub-committees. The association is open to residents of Area D, both homeowners and renters, as well as land owners, acreage owners and business owners. The next meeting will be held in late January. Memberships are still available by donation. E-mail adrrassoc@gmail.com for an application.

district was following its safety plan which is enacted in case of an emergency or a potential threat. He said each school has its own, sitebased safety plan and emergency response plan so staff know what to do. After the decision was made to dismiss students early, buses were called to the school to take students to Robron Centre

who weren’t within walking distance or who didn’t have a parent or guardian to pick them up. Longride said each student’s household was called with an automated voice message to inform parents of the situation and an emergency notice was also posted on both Timberline and School District 72’s websites, as well as on the school dis-

trict’s Twitter feed and its Facebook page. The bomb threat came on a day that college students at both Campbell River and Comox Valley campuses were writing final exams which had to be re-scheduled. The incident also forced some high school students to have their grad photos rescheduled.

Well-known car dealer and golf club owner dies Barrie Brown logged, fished and flew before arriving in the River City to sell cars Paul Rudan Campbell RiveR miRRoR

Family and friends will celebrate the life of Barrie Brown on Thursday. The well-known Campbell River businessman died Friday following a short battle with cancer. He was 68. “I worked with him for 15 years. He was a wonderful man and he touched so many lives,” said family friend Lynn Owens. Born July 22, 1945, in Prince George, at age six Brown and his family moved to Vancouver where he was raised. Even as a youngster, the entrepreneurial spirit was already thriving in Brown. “From a very young

age, he set out to do as much as he could and he certainly did,” said Owens. After high school Brown went to university for a while, but the allure of business proved too great. He started in logging, then into commercial fishing on his own boat, then into the “wild blue yonder” as a pilot, and that eventually led to Campbell River. In 1975, Brown bought Mason Car Centre in North Campbell River and changed the name to Targa Motors. In 1986, Brown partnered with Marc Hylands at the downtown car dealership located at Dogwood Street and 13th Avenue. Around the same time, Brown also bought the

In 1998, Brown built a swanky new clubhouse at Sequoia Springs. It has proved to be a favourite location for weddings and other big events, and the spacious second storey became home. A memorable event occurred there on Feb. 2, 2010. The Browns were at home when they heard a loud crash around 6 p.m. When Brown went downstairs to investigate, he immediately saw there had been a break-in. Several hundred dollars had been stolen along with clothing from the pro

shop. As Linda called police, Brown and one of his sons jumped in a truck and went looking for the suspect. Just down the road, at Windsor Plywood, they caught up with the 24-year-old thief who was found with Linda’s sunglasses, a new Dunlop golf glove on his left

hand and a golf shirt which just so happened to sport the the Sequoia Springs logo. Father and son held the suspect until Mounties arrived.

n A celebration of Barrie Brown’s life takes place Thursday, 2 p.m., at Sequoia Springs Golf Course.

Our View

Times continue to change Canada Post’s decision to do away with door-to-door delivery in urban areas is anything but a surprise. Canada Post is only the latest in a long line of institutions caught in the revolution is the Internet. We say: Canada that While the postal-workers’ union Post yet another continues to point to the 2012 profit institution hit by realized by Canada Post, it often neglects to add the fine print found in the Internet Canada Post’s 2012 annual report. Yes, Canada Post’s report notes a $127 million profit — but it points out clearly that profit would have been a $25-million loss had

reductions in sick leave and post-retirement health benefits not been agreed to in the union contract. And, it adds, those reductions were one-time realizations, not recurring. In fact, the future looks bleak, with the Conference Board of Canada predicting Canada Post will lose $1 billion each year by 2020. Even with this week’s dramatic decision, the Conference Board estimates annual losses of about $500 million per year by 2020. Mail delivery is not a growth industry and the continual decrease in revenue and mail sent highlights that fact.

If this is indeed “an opportunity for the Conservatives to take a leadership role in the extinguishing of union jobs,” as claimed by Kamloops Labour Council president Peter Kerek, and if there is indeed money to be made on the existing Canada Post model, surely a private company will step into the breach and realize the profit. As we do with that long-lost letter from afar, we suspect we will all be waiting in vain for such a company to fill the door-to-door role being vacated by the Crown corporation. – Black Press

Reform Act a step in right direction On Dec. 3 Michael Chong, a back-bench conservative MP, introduced a bill that would give our individual MPs more freedom to do their jobs and freely represent us. The bill puts power now held by party leaders back into the hands of MPs, local constituencies, and everyday Canadians. We need a stronger, healthier democratic system to deal with the huge issues of our time. The “Reform Act” won’t fix all of the problems with our democracy, but it is a very good step in the right direction. Already there is support being expressed by MPs from every party. Add your voice to this momentum! Please write to our MP and to all of the party leaders. They are watching to see our response as they make up their minds whether to support this bill or not. Check out leadnow.ca for more information, and a link to Michael Chong’s official site promoting this bill. Cec Robinson Whaletown, B.C.

Ferry debates and drunken buffoons on video

Alistair Taylor

Out On A Limb @AlstrT

editor@campbellrivermirror.com

The debate in our area last week over the BC Ferry corporation service cuts was interesting. Once again ferry dependent communities called for treating ferries like a highway. It’s an interesting debate, do people who are serviced only by highways in more remote areas of the province essentially get free transportation? Well, as free as any taxpayers get anything. Here on the coast, our tax dollars build a ferry system and then we pay a user fee on top of that. Even new bridges in the Lower Mainland eventually get their tolls removed. The new Port Mann Bridge will have its toll removed in about 40 years. And the Coquihalla Highway in the Interior, the last time I drove on it I had

forgotten the toll had been removed. As I approached the former toll booth location I was thinking “can I pay in cash, do I need a credit card..hey, where’s the booth?” Are they going to remove the toll on the ferries? Of course not. It seems to be a parallel argument. A capital cost to build the infrastructure – road, bridge, ferry, etc. – and then a toll to pay it off. Why is a ferry different from a bridge? A ferry has costs associated with dayto-day operation of the vessel, including fuel and crew. A highway and a bridge has costs associated with maintenance – as does a ferry – but it doesn’t need someone to operate it. That’s about the only difference I can see.

llll In this day and age of cellphones, youtube videos and everyone being moments away from being filmed doing something, what are we getting? Boston Bruins forward and Vancouver native Milan Lucic is recorded on video trying to avoid getting into an altercation with some drunken idiot outside a bar in Vancouver. The mayor of Toronto is taped smoking crack. Did we need to see all this? There was a time when all this would happen in secrecy and we’d never know about it. In some ways I don’t feel we’re better off and in other ways I do. The two examples I mentioned above are a case in point. I’d just as soon not be reminded that there are idiots in bars who will harass a celebrity hockey

player. So, I didn’t really need to see that. I didn’t really want to see all that crap about Toronto mayor Rob Ford either but it’s important that it came out. Now we can debate whether he specifically, and that type of person generally is the type of person we want to lead our cities and legislatures. Given the level of support that Ford retains in T.O., it’s obvious that it doesn’t bug a lot of people as much as it does me. CBC’s Rick Mercer put it well in one of his brilliant rants when he said there is a faction in Toronto who don’t care what kind of drunken, drug-addled buffoon is in office, as long as he holds the line on spending, he’s all right. Now, if there was something I didn’t need to see, it was that.

Don’t make a martyr of the mayor Re: Council ousting the Mayor This debacle comes from the mayor voting no because the consultant’s report said it would be too costly for Campbell River. Why waste money hiring consultants if you don’t listen to

what they say? I don’t approve of hiring outside staff, particularly with the number of managers at city hall, but if you are going to do it, then carry out their recommendations.

Why then, did this council, except for Coun. Kerr, vote to oust the mayor for his decision to protect the taxpayers? Whatever happened to freedom of speech in making decisions that protect the taxpayer

With the 7-1 victory, the Storm were tied with Nanaimo at 40 points apiece going into Saturday night’s action. The Storm continued its winning ways, securing a 5-2 win over the Oceanside Generals on the road. Oceanside opened the scoring but the Storm came to life in the second with goals from Tyler Welsh, Brayden Taekema and Gage Colpron to take a 3-1 lead.

The Campbell River Storm have sole possession of first place in the north division helped out by a strong break out performance by the hockey club’s newest acquisition. The Storm’s Joe Costello was a dominant force from the moment he stepped on the ice until the final buzzer during Friday’s game against the Nanaimo Buccaneers at Rod Brind’Amour Arena. The Storm were looking to take down the Buccaneers, which were two points ahead of the Storm going into the game and in first place in the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League’s north division. It was clear the Storm knew what was at stake as Costello scored to put the Storm on the scoreboard just four minutes into the game to notch his first marker as a member of the Storm. Trent Johnson scored again for the Storm just one minute later. A goal by the Storm’s Gavin Rauser seven minutes after that prompted Nanaimo to pull goalie Ryan Waldhaus in favour

Killer Whales the team to watch

www.CampbellRiverMirror.com www.CampbellRiverMirror.com

The Campbell River Killer Whales competed at the PCS Christmas Cracker in Victoria, Dec. 6-8. Over the three-day meet, the Killer Whales continued to show the rest of the country that they will be a team to watch as they edge closer to Provincials and Age Group Nationals at the end of the season. More than 700 swimmers competed at the meet, with three competition pools running through the morning sessions.

The CRKW swimmers were a force in the pool every night when it came to the finals sessions. The first night of finals was kicked off with two of the Kiler Whales’ 12 and under Medley Relay teams placing in the top eight. Mel ay n a B e au d i n continued to dominate in the pool, placing in the top three in five of her individual events, including a first place finish in the 400 and 800 freestyle. Cianna Dunn continued her “come from

behind” race strategy, making finals in all eight of her races, with four second place finishes. She also joined the “Record Breaker” Club, with new club records in the 400 IM and 200 Fly. Jasmine Skuse had one of her best meets of her young career, making second swims in all her races. Lilan Forsyth, Jamiliya Wellard, Maya Ruehlen, Kasey Lathangue, Julia Alguire, and Aleah Jordan also made second swims over the weekend, and were best times

in the majority of their races. Forsyth broke another club record, to add to five that had already been broken over the weekend, getting her name up onto the record board for her time in the 50 backstroke. Conner Skuse and Mackenzie Padington had a tough weekend of competition, with a very busy schedule, and were competing in the very tough 13-14 year old category which included some of the best swimmers in the country.

Both of them swam very strong during the competition. Coach/Swimmer David Palmer, competed in his first competition of the season, having a great start to what should be a fantastic year. The CRKW swimmers are now heading into their Christmas break and training camp, getting ready for the Short Course season….VIRS, AA and AAA Provincial Championships, and the Western Canadian Championships in New Westminister.

As a result of gains in life expectancy, most of us can plan on living longer. Today’s 65-year-olds can expect to live 17 to 20 years beyond retirement (on average)1. Even more telling, an increasing number of Canadians are reaching the age of 100. Between 2006 and 2011, the rate of population growth for this age group was 25.7%, the second most rapidly growing age group among all age groups after those aged 60 to 64 (which increased by 29.1%)2.

• Enhance your expected income from investments held within an RRSP with a complementary portfolio of RRSP-eligible investments held with your RRSPs plus non-registered investments. •Assess your essential and discretionary spending requirements and adopt an investment strategy that will cover your needs. Include planning for such essential expenses as housing, food, clothing and medical treatments and for such discretionary expenses as travel, dining out, a new car, and so on. Take into account that your need for discretionary funds is likely to diminish over time and your need for essential expenses will probably rise as you age. • After retirement, manage your retirement savings based on the amount of your savings, the average return on your investments, and the number of years you plan to make withdrawals. • Shelter excess capital and maximize the value of your estate with life insurance. Consider a life annuity that will provide a guaranteed regular income no matter how long you live.

• Be sure to protect your income (and your spouse’s) with life insurance and supplementary disability, critical illness and long-term care health insurance. • Regularly assess your plan – checking investment performance, changes in your expense levels and any other factors that can impact your level or years of income during retirement – and revise as required.

It’s great to know you managing your money can plan to enjoy years

The odds that you’ll live a long and healthy life after retirement are solidly in your favour – and getting better year to year. That is good news – especially if you begin to plan now for all those extra retirement years. Here are some tips to get you on track for a long and comfortable retirement. • Look at your retirement from every angle and decide on your desired lifestyle.

and years of retirement. It’s even better to know – without doubt – that your retirement income will match your retirement dreams for all your retirement years. Your professional advisor can help make sure that happens. 1 The Daily (Statistics Canada), Monday Sept. 27, 2004 – based on 2002 mortality rates 2 The Daily (Statistics Canada), Tuesday, May 29, 2012 This column, written and published by Investors Group Financial Services Inc.

But that’s not a bother, since I do what I love, and I love to do it. “My role in the pantomime is a loving

fantastic, even for the male characters. I have several costume changes, each one getting more colourful. “For the whole cast, every new rehearsal means either a new costume or detail, or another decision on style or colour groupings. “It’s always fun to

see how those details evolve.” Something else that’s always developing is the set. Each time she enters the Rivercity Stage for rehearsal, there’s another surprise, whether a throne in a palace, or a village market, or kooky props for policemen. “The amount of work that goes on here and

the miracles that come about are always stunning. This is my happy place.” Being a high-school teacher in real life is one of MacFarlane’s delights; working with kids onstage is another. “Working with the youngsters in Aladdin is amazing; they are so focused and well-

behaved. They know the lyrics, learn the choreography – I think they’re phenomenal. I completely understand why they’re here doing it all, and I would have given anything to be onstage at that age, doing what they’re doing, and acting

hen it comes to the joy of an experience, Jana MacFarlane has a passion for acting. She doesn’t mind being centre stage, nor does she mind dressing for the part, even if it means playing a young man such as the title adventurer in the upcoming production of Aladdin (A Christmas Pantomime). “I was not only honoured at getting the role, but very surprised, too. It was way out of my realm of expectations, since I had auditioned for the chorus.” As children, MacFarlane and her younger brother sang along with their copy of the Disney movie version. Somewhat portentously, her brother’s young voice served well for the higher range of the princess Jasmine, so MacFarlane would sing Aladdin’s parts. “And in high school, I would be in the chorus, since the leads always seemed to be sopranos. I sing alto.” The fact that this is her first solo singing part is equally exciting and challenging, and she credits musical director Susan Nassachuk with leading her through the various new steps. “Susan’s professionalism and patience are only part of the picture. She’s such an inspiration to me and always coaches with a positive attitude.” Playing a young man onstage is another step outside of MacFarlane’s comfort zone. “And no pretty dresses for me, either! Although the costumes are still

Some undersized springs have been caught off the Hump in the Campbell Oyster River Pool River area, a keeper this time of year is around 10 pounds. Prawning can be good in a number of areas including Marina Island, Hill Island and Twin Islands. The Gold river will be a popular destination for those fishing steelhead in weeks to come, Speaking to a number of local anglers who fish the area will be heading out in the new year. The Oyster fishes well for trout in the winter months. Kris Salter has been up the Oyster and says the water levels are low and in some cases the upper Oyster has been frozen over in spots. I had a chance to drive to the Morton Lake area and with the recent snow some roads are very icy and a 4 wheel drive vehicle is needed. Some lakes will ice over but be careful when heading up to lakes in the high elevations. Some local pothole lakes can freeze over a little but ice is very thin or non existent. Shore fishing can produce some nice trout in the Upper Campbell but getting out in boat is the key to fishing success.

Quadra Island director named regional district chair 30 || CAMPBELL Campbell RIVER RiveR MIRROR miRRoR | WEDNESDAY, WeDNeSDaY, DECEMBER DeCembeR 18, 2013

Kristen Douglas Campbell RiveR miRRoR

Quadra Director Jim Abram has been elected the new chair of the Strathcona Regional District board. The board of directors

voted through secret ballot at Thursday’s inaugural board meeting to replace outgoing chair, Director Ted Lewis, who declined a re-nomination from Tahsis Director Jude Schooner. Abram was nominated

for the position of chair by Area D Director Gerald Whalley and faced off against city councillor and director Claire Moglove who was nominated by councillor and director Mary Storry. Before the vote, Abram

and Moglove were each given a few minutes to present their case to the rest of the board. Abr am , w ho w as nominated first, spoke first and highlighted his experience in chairing a meeting.

“I have been chair of the board before and as demonstrated at a recent meeting, I can run an effective meeting at a good pace, allowing for discussion, but keeping order,” said Abram who added he could help

bring the board together. “Our board has indicated that it wants to work together and I can facilitate that. “I work extremely hard at everything I take on and do whatever needs to be done to achieve our TELUS STORE OR AUTHORIZED DEALER

goals.” Moglove also spoke about bringing the board together to form a more cohesive unit. “I think our meetings have gone astray, they’ve gotten too personal,” Moglove said. “I would like to get our meetings back on track. “I would like to bring the electoral committee and the greater board together and get more on track because I think there’s been some divisiveness. “I’d like to work together better as a board. We seem to have lost our way a bit.” Moglove also noted that as chair of the hospital board she has experience in running a meeting and she ensured the board that if elected, she would represent decisions made by the board no matter her own opinion – something Moglove has called Mayor Walter Jakeway out on in the past for not doing with city council. After Moglove’s pitch, directors filled out their ballots and Tom Yates, corporate services manager for the regional district, announced Abram as the new chair.
