North Island MLA and ferry critic Claire Trevena says BC Ferries’ recent announcement that it will implement a

Quadra Island run and the Quadra Island-Cortes Island route, effective Jan. 17.

Tre vena s aid t he increase will be especially hard on people considering all the esca-

lating costs around the province in 2014.

“We’ve got the MSP (Medical Service Premiums) rises going in, we’ve got the Hydro rate increase and now we’ve got this on top of it,”

Trevena said. “I think it’s really unacceptable.

I think the (B.C. Liberal) government has to accept responsibility for BC Ferries.

“The minister has to step in and say residents

should not be gouged simply to use their highway.”

Trevena said the fuel surcharge is particularly hard to accept because BC Ferries will also be raising fares by roughly four per cent in April and is considering sailing cuts.

Trevena said the escalating costs have forced people to pick up and leave their home on Quadra.

“It’s no question, people have moved off the island because of the costs,” Trevena said. “People can’t afford to use their highway system.”

BC Ferries says the corporation made the decision to implement a fuel surcharge because it’s been paying 14 cents more per litre for diesel than what was anticipated by the ferries commissioner when he approved the fuel prices that are built into ferry fares.

“Market pricing indicates that the price differential will continue

throughout the year,” said Mike Corrigan, BC Ferries’s President and CEO, in a news release.

“We are well aware that implementing a fuel surcharge is unpopular with our customers, and we are doing everything we can to keep our fuel costs as low as possible, including building new ships with LNG capability.

“We have waited as long as we can to implement a surcharge, however, we must act now as it is clear that fuel prices are unlikely to decline in the foreseeable future.”

BC Ferries says it has reduced its fuel consumption by 5.8 million litres since 2004 but the price of fuel has increased significantly since then, from $50 million in fiscal 2004 to $121 million in fiscal 2013.

Over the last nine years, BC Ferries has had fuel surcharges, fuel rebates and periods of time with neither, all dependent on the market price of diesel fuel.

C

ampbell River is a safer place because the local St. John Ambulance Brigade provides first aid at many local events.

“There are a couple of people who are alive today thanks to us being at these events,” said Brigade president Vern Coward.

That’s why it would be a shame to lose the local chapter. There aren’t many events that are put on in this town where the St. John Ambulance Brigade isn’t on duty. In fact, safety requirements at many events include the required presence of St. John Ambulance brigade members.

“A lot of these places have in their bylaws that they have St. John Ambulance there, not just first aid, St. John Ambulance,” Coward said.

From Canada Day to Campbell River Storm games, to track meets, martial arts events and other festivities, it’s a rare event in Campbell River over the last 50-60 years that hasn’t had the St. John Ambulance Brigade providing first aid.

The Campbell River Storm has been partnering with St. John Ambulance since the team first began operations.

But like many volunteer organizations in Campbell River, they are in need of more volunteers, especially because St. John Ambulance is in such high demand.

“Our provincial body is saying, ‘You don’t have the numbers right now to cover all these events,’” Coward said.

If they don’t get their numbers up, the Campbell River division might have to suspend its operations.

That would be a shame, most would agree, because St. John Ambulance is such an integral part of this community. Who doesn’t feel better when

they see the black and white uniforms and the green and white mobile unit of the St. John Ambulance Brigade at an event?

Besides providing direct first aid coverage, the brigade also provides safety speakers to community organizations and training for community safety programs like disaster relief.

One of the big events the brigade puts on itself is the annual first aid competition which will be held for the 25th time this year.

From first aid coverage, safety advice, community support and safety competitions; that’s a lot to lose.

“I think it would really hurt this community if we couldn’t get the volunteers out,” Coward said.

There’s a lot to gain from becoming involved with St. John Ambulance. First of all, it’s free to join and all you have to provide is pair of black pants and dress shoes and, of course, your time. All the rest is provided. All the first

aid training is free.

The local brigade is divided into cadets and adult brigade. Cadets are youths ages 8-18.

For youths, it’s a great way to be challenged, have fun and provide service for the community.

It’s also valuable experience for students who need to put in volunteer time for graduation credit.

For adults who have taken some first aid training, St. John Ambulance service is a great way to put those skills

to use and keep them sharp. It also provides the same personal satisfaction from giving back to your community that all volunteering provides.

“It’s a fabulous way to make a difference in the community,” said Glen Greenhill, Campbell River ambulance Station 108 unit chief, and chair of the St. John Ambulance Branch Executive Committee.

Besides giving you a “skill that is lifelong,” being a St. John Ambulance Brigade member

instills in cadets a sense of personal value, discipline and deportment that carries into adulthood.

In fact, Coward said he has known cadets who have gone on to become doctors, nurses, firefighters and police officers.

Daigle wins Vancouver port contract to build new vessels Paul Rudan Campbell RiveR miRRoR

Seems Daigle Welding and Marine is the boat builder of choice for B.C.’s ports.

The Campbell River firm designed and built two custom multi-task vessels for the Port of Nanaimo and now it is building two more for Port Metro Vancouver. “It’s great news,� said owner Steve Daigle.

A f t e r m ont h s of secrecy – the boats are already half-built – news of the contract award was finally released Monday.

Daigle and his team designed and are building two 43-foot aluminum patrol vessels for Port Metro Vancouver whose officials were duly impressed by the two smaller patrol boats the company designed and built for the Nanaimo Port Authority. Daigle also built a 33-foot patrol boat for Vancou-

ver police. “They’re quite different,� Daigle said of the vessel designs for the two ports. “The interesting thing about ports is the federal government allows them to make purchasing decisions.�

Po r t a u t h o r i t i e s , because they generate their own revenue, can put out their own project tenders. In this case, the biggest and busiest port in the country asked for design-and-build proposals and Daigle was well-equipped to to meet both needs. “They don’t have to spend a lot of money going to a naval architect because we can do it inhouse,� Daigle told the Mirror. “We have proven hulls and use proven engines. They want the safety element.�

Vancouver port officials also tripped across the Strait of Georgia to get a first-hand look at the Daigle vessels built

for the Nanaimo Port Authority in 2011-’12: the 32-foot NPA Eagle and the 39-foot NPA Osprey. “All their key operators tested the boats‌they were happy,â€? said Daigle.

Nanaimo port official Edward Dahlgreen was also pleased by their purchase, as he told the media in 2012, “Having a local builder produce a product of this calibre is a testament to the skills

The vehicle that struck the man on the long board was also traveling northbound on MacAulay Road. The young man was taken to St. Joseph’s hospital to care for his injuries but was airlifted to Victoria due to their severity.

On Jan. 5 , the young Black Creek man had succumbed to his injuries while in Victoria General hospital.

No names were released and the investigation is continuing.

Local volunteer searchers covered a huge area in 2013

www.CampbellRiverMirror.com www.CampbellRiverMirror.com

Busy, but typical.

That’s the 2013 yearend review from Campbell River Search and Rescue (SAR) whose volunteers responded to 30 calls to assist in multiple emergencies.

“We had a wide variety of calls from missing persons to plane crashes to emergency locater beacon rescues,” said search manager Grant Cromer in a news release.

Local teams responded as far away as Cape Scott – several times to evacuate injured hikers – to Port Alberni that saw more than 100 volunteer searchers and first responders come together to evacuate an injured hiker from Mt. Arrowsmith.

Campbell River SAR teams also went to Wakeman Sound and Bute Inlet on the mainland to rescue hikers and to assist survivors following a helicopter crash where one man died.

“The diversity of our area speaks to the vari-

ety of calls we respond to, but more so to the experience and skill our members have,” said Cromer. “One week we are pulling hikers off a mountain in some remote inlet, the next week we are looking for a dementia walk-away in Beaver Lodge Lands.”

Campbell River SAR cover the whole North Island and parts of the mainland.. As a result, there are major logistical challenges in moving equipment and people to remote locations.

In many areas along the West Coast, the searchers have limited communications and satellite phone coverage can be “spotty.”

Nevertheless, with donations and fundraising, Campbell River SAR continues to upgrade and add equipment.

“We have recently acquired three satellite tracking beacons that can be deployed with teams that provide two-way tracking and response

capabilities. This goes a long way towards keeping us in touch with our field teams for safety reasons,” noted Cromer.

One of the highlights of 2013 was going to Vancouver to continue education with the swift water team, specifically advanced medical treatment and transport of hypothermic patients.

Challenges for the new year include the need for more training and equipment, and rising costs for insurance and other needs.

“Our goals for 2014 are to continue and advance the training our speciality rescue teams, we are hoping to receive gaming funding this year that should allow us to cover some of our operational expenses,” said Cromer.

“We are holding a training course this spring for new members as well as we plan to continue with our public education component.”

Not much snow below tree line but there is an avalanche hazard in the Island alpine Islanders (especially those of the winter snowsport variety) have been a little taken aback by the lack of snow in the Island alps so far this winter.

While a winter without much snow to start is not unheard of in these parts, the reason for this one is certainly a bit unusual.

Whereas an early winter season lacking in snow is typically due to warm temperatures and high freezing levels rather than a lack of precipitation, this winter’s lack of

snow is mostly attributable to a lack of moisture.

Indeed the precipitation figures for October, November and December are at about half of historical averages and the figure for December on it’s own is at about one third of average.

But if a mountain recreationist wants to see some snow they certainly can. All they need to do is hike up above the tree line and into the alpine and they would find the snow that they seek.

Indeed, they would also find an avalanche hazard up in the alpine despite Continued on Pg. 7

Totem pole restoration needs more funding www.CampbellRiverMirror.com www.CampbellRivermirror.com

Kristen Douglas

Campbell RiveR miRRoR

The Nuyumbalees Cultural Centre on Quadra Island is hoping the Strathcona Regional District can come through with a significant donation to help restore an important piece of history.

The centre is in the process of trying to restore the Cook Welcome Poles which are a part of the We Wai Kai First Nation’s heritage.

Jodi Simkin, executive director of the Nuyumbalees Cultural Centre in

Cape Mudge, wrote a letter to the regional district asking for some financial support for the $51,000 project.

“In order to bring the project to completion we are needing to secure a contribution of $5,000 and are requesting that the regional district consider making this pledge,” Simkin wrote.

“Your donation will be recognized on the onsite signage, as well as in our annual report and website.”

The project has already locked up community

partnerships with TimberWest, the Pallan Group and Ocean Pacific Marine to help bring the project to fruition, but funding is still needed in order to get the poles back up in their rightful position.

The history of the poles dates back to the 1880’s.

A set of three poles, called the Walkus poles, was given to John Dick of the We Wai Kai by Chief Numus Walkus of River’s Inlet as part of a dowry for his niece.

The poles sat on the beach until the 1950’s

WEDNESDAY, JaNUaRY JANUARY 8, 8, 2014 2014 || Campbell CAMPBELL RiveR RIVER miRRoR MIRROR || 77 WeDNeSDaY,

when they were taken down in order to be preserved and given to the Museum at Campbell River.

However, one of the three poles was destroyed during the restoration process.

More than 20 years later, in the mid-1970’s, Dora Cook, Eugene

Alfred and Bob Neil carved a new set of three poles, named the Cook poles, to commemorate the Walkus poles.

The poles originally stood outside the cultural centre to welcome guests but after the centre was closed for renovations and then re-opened, the Cook poles were even-

appearances lower down.

The avalanche hazard ratings in the alpine on the Island have risen to “Considerable” (meaning both natural and human triggered avalanches are possible) on several occasions already this winter.

The presence of avalanche hazard even in these dry times reminds us of the importance of public avalanche education and of publicly available avalanche warning systems. Here on Vancouver Island the source of these warnings is the Vancouver Island Avalanche Centre. The centre is run by the nonprofit Vancouver Island Avalanche Centre Society which raises funds from the donations of

generous Island businesses and from two fundraising events each year. The centre receives no public funding.

The two fundraising events which the centre runs each year are the Party for the Bulletin and the Back Country Festival. The first of these is coming up very soon on Saturday.

The sixth annual Party for the Bulletin features live music from Des larson and the Times and from Brodie Dawson. It also features an amazing silent auction featuring awesome gear from La Sportiva Skis, Valhalla Pure Outfitters, Arcteryx, Backcountry Access, Black Diamond and many others as well as ski passes for Mount Washington, avalanche

Our Our View View

Turning the page on a new year A new year brings a fresh start for everyone, even politicians. Apparently Toronto Mayor Rob Ford is looking for better times ahead as he already filed his papers for this We say: This will has year’s municipal elections. be a big year Now there’s a guy who obviously believes that the turning of the for local-level calendar constitutes a fresh start for elections everybody.

Who knows when it comes to the beleaguered mayor of Canada’s largest city?

Many would have wagered he would not have lasted

this long so all bets are off.

Luckily that circus carries on daily thousands of miles away but we in the Campbell River area also will go to the polls to elect municipal representatives this year. The most accountable, most reachable, many would say, the most important level of government (not to mention lowest paid with no retirement benefits) will be decided by local residents come November.

Although the Toronto mayor jumped the gun, as usual, to grab the spotlight this week, those who guide us municipally will soon have to make a decision on

whether to continue to serve their constituents to the best of their ability or make room for some fresh faces.

We’re sure the lobbying for people to jump into the limelight that is civic politics has already begun in coffee shops and living rooms throughout the region and we encourage all to participate in the democratic process that will help write the chapter called 2014 for the Central Island.

However, unlike Ford, do your homework, take your time and consider all the factors involved in contributing to your community.

Layoffs condemned As advocates for defending and expanding public health care, Citizens For Quality Health Care condemns the decision of the new owners of New Horizons, Park Place Seniors Living, to layoff their staff.

According to press reports the sole reason for this attack on the workers and the seniors that they care for is to increase the profit of the private operator by reducing the wages and benefits of the staff.

Since New Horizons began operation as a private facility funded by the Vancouver Island Health Authority (now Island Health) from the public purse, workers have not been paid the industry standards in wages or benefits but have nevertheless done their work with dignity and respect for the people they care for.

Those who provide care for seniors and other vulnerable residents make a valuable contribution to a humane and caring society. They deserve to have secure employment, be treated with respect, and be compensated for the essential work they do. The workers and those they care for deserve better.

We will work with the New Horizons workers and families and the community to demand that Island Health and the Ministry of Health put a stop to the harm to seniors and residential care workers by Park Place Seniors Living.

For information contact 250-287-3096 (Campbell River) or 250-338-4067 (Comox Valley).

Another year of enviro-wars begins Tom Fletcher B.C. Views

The new year lurched to life with a round of shouting about the environment, as our post-industrial, post-literate urban society grapples with conflicting claims of impending doom.

The release of a group of Greenpeace protesters from a Russian prison was welcomed by TV news networks desperate to fill the holiday dead zone. Our intrepid Canadian pair got to describe over and over their bid to hang a strongly worded banner from a Russian offshore oil platform, and their horror when security forces boarded their vessel from helicopters and seized it.

In all the fawning interviews, I kept waiting for two questions to be asked.

What did they think Vladimir Putin’s regime would do? And what was the

point? How is disrupting one oil platform for an hour going to save the planet?

The Greenpeace “activists” claimed this was the first oil platform to operate above the Arctic Circle. So it was a line in the snow, which I’m sure impressed Putin as he ramps up his territorial claim to include the North Pole.

Meanwhile at the South Pole, TV anchors remained carefully sombre as they reported numerous bids to rescue a scientific vessel trapped in thick ice.

No quips about the predictive abilities of climate scientists please!

In fact this ill-fated voyage was a reenactment of Sir Douglas Mawson’s 1913 expedition, with pro-global warming news outlets BBC and The Guardian

aboard to capture the melting wrought by a century of industrial expansion.

The rescue efforts (from a Russian ship

by Chinese helicopters) also disrupted an Australian icebreaker’s supply trip for one of the real scientific expeditions working in Antarctica.

Skeptics had great fun with the Antarctic debacle, as they did earlier with the resurgence of Arctic ice that trapped climate tourists.

As is normal in the Internet age, the climate debate has split into two fanatical factions, each of which promotes the most extreme examples it can find to prop up its version of truth. They call each other “warmists” and “deniers” among other pithy names.

Greenpeace is now known in B.C. as

part of our Team America anti-tar sands brigade. They got off to a good start in 2014 by selectively seizing on reports of a new study of mercury contamination in northern Alberta.

A “bullseye” of this dreaded neurotoxin has been drawn around oilsands operations by measuring traces in snow.

The study by Environment Canada scientists isn’t published yet, but Postmedia News reported on a presentation in November by the researchers.

“The federal scientists stress the mercury loadings around the oilsands are low compared to the contamination seen in many parts of North America including southern Ontario and southern Quebec,” the news report states.

Thanks for the community calendar Fletcher: The Thank you for your ongoing placement of our society’s information on your Community Calendar page in your weekly edition of the Mirror.

Over the past few months this information has enabled our society to get the word out to the public of the availability of a very resourceful library here in Campbell River as well as help

for those who may be researching their family history.

This has resulted in many new members joining our society and moving forward with their research.

I would also like to once again commend you on the article which ran in November recognizing our veterans who have been laid to rest in our cemeter-

ies.

The article was very well received by our members especially those who have worked so hard on this project. We look forward to sharing with you some of the other project currently in the works with the hope that you will find them of interest to yourself and your readers.

The information I have sent for the Community Calendar is current and we appreciate your continuation of this most valuable service not only to us but also to the many other clubs, societies and groups of interest in our community.

Nearly every study including government studies, in North America, indicate D.A.R.E. (D.A.R.E. Program Needs Funds, Jan. 2, 2014) is not only a failure but increases drug usage.

One example is because D.A.R.E. historically teaches lies, half-truths and propaganda about cannabis. How can the same people who label cannabis a Schedule I substance alongside

heroin (while meth and cocaine are only Schedule II substances), teach children the truth? How many people become addicted to hard drugs because they thought they were no worse

than cannabis? The money should be re-directed toward programs proven effective at helping youth resist drugs.

sky is not falling Continued from Pg. 8

This is like the study of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) pollution in northern Alberta lakes that was twisted into propaganda and fed to the news media last year. This is another group of neurotoxins that are far more concentrated in urban areas than around remote industry.

Consumption, rather than production of coal, diesel and other fuels produces the vast majority of these emissions. I look forward to the study of their effects around Lost Lagoon and Burnaby Lake.

Of course safe levels of these materials have been set by Health Canada. You’re more likely to get significant exposure to mercury from a broken fluorescent lamp or the mercury amalgam in your old tooth fillings than you are from feeding ducks at the lake, although you might get a whiff of PAH when you gas up the car or board the bus.

VIREB: Solid sales in second half lead to strongest market activity in four years Sales activity across the Vancouver Island housing market area finished on a high note in December, capping off the strongest year since 2009.

After a sluggish market in 2012, sales began to pick up some steam in the second half of 2013, resulting in a stronger finish to the year than the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board (VIREB) anticipated a few months ago. VIREB reports a total of 3,941 single-family homes sold in VIREB coverage area on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) in 2013.

This signifies a 10 per cent increase over the 3,582 sales recorded in 2012. Average sale price remained relatively flat for the year, decreasing by one per cent.

BCREA’s chief economist, Cameron Muir, warns that low employment growth and a listless economy will likely have some impact on the BC housing market heading into 2014.

“We anticipate that

slow economic growth will lead to a slight retrenchment in demand through the first quarter of 2014, but expect that sales will pick up momentum in the latter half of the year,” he said.

A total of 210 singlefamily homes sold in the VIREB coverage area on the MLS in December 2013; a 39 per cent increase over the 151 sales recorded in December 2012, and a 26 per cent drop from this time last month.

“While we had a very robust month in terms of sales this December, it is important to look at these numbers in terms of the bigger picture,” said VIREB president, Gary Gray. “We are encouraged by this healthy sales activity, but the market is still quite price sensitive, so it is important to consult with a local realtor in order to get a clear picture of what is happening in your area.”

For December 2013, the benchmark price for a single-family home in the VIREB coverage

area was $307,900, with an MLS HPI index value of 144.7 (44.7 per cent increase since January 2005, when the index was 100). This benchmark price is down 0.5 per cent from last month and declined 0.3 per cent from last year. The average price of a single-family home in VIREB area was $314,367, down four per cent from last year.

The benchmark price for a single-family home in the Campbell River area was $266,800, up 5.9 per cent over last year; in the Comox Valley the benchmark price was $313,800, down 0.5 per cent over last year; Duncan reports a benchmark price of $277,900, dropping 2.8 per cent from last year; Nanaimo’s benchmark price was $327,600, down 0.2 per cent from last year; Parksville/ Qualicum has a benchmark price of $343,600, up 1.4 per cent last year; and Port Alberni is listed at $177,100 for a benchmark home, dipping 3.2 per cent from last year.

Buried can held drugs Paul Rudan

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

When the coffee was long gone, the empty can was filled with cash and heroin, and then buried just off the Duncan Bay logging road.

That was the pattern Campbell River RCMP discovered after they were tipped off about drug dealer Cong Le. On Jan. 2, in provincial court, the 58-yearold Campbell River man was sentenced to a year behind bars after pleading guilty to possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of traf-

ficking.

A co-accused in the case, Judith Kilcollins, 65, is scheduled to appear in court Jan. 13, to elect trial in either provincial or supreme court. She is also charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking.

According to prosecutor Oren Bick, police learned of drug transactions taking place at a specific location on the Duncan Bay Road, so they placed a surveillance camera at the scene.

Last year, from May 16 to June 15, the camera captured footage of

a woman placing cash in the can, burying it, then calling Le who would later arrive, take the cash, replace it with heroin and then rebury the can.

The woman would then come back, dig it up and take the drugs.

In total, Mounties observed 12 transactions involving approximately 3.5 ounces of heroin, with the female suspect typically depositing $1,100 each time into the can.

In addition to the jail time, Le must provide a DNA sample and is banned for life from possessing any firearms.

MANAGING YOUR MONEY

Dealing4x10 with debt Trevor Despins

CFP, STI, CPCA Financial Consultant

The holidays are over but your mailbox continues to fill up – with holiday bills. Pile them on top of all your regular payments for your mortgage, car loan and other credit card balances and you begin to wonder how you can stretch your paycheque to cover it all … to say nothing about how you will ever secure your financial future.

You know you need to pay your bills, somehow find money for the investments that are important to achieving your life goals, and come up with enough cash to make your maximum contribution to investments held within a RRSP that will allow you to one day realize your retirement dreams – but how will you do all that? One method that could work for you is debt consolidation.

Here’s how it can work for you.

Consolidate highinterest, high-cost loans Consolidate medical bills, car payments, education loans, lines of credit and other highinterest debts like credit card payments into one, lowerinterest loan. You’ll have a single, more affordable monthly payment than the

many monthly payments you were making previously, your cash management will be easier, and you’ll generate new savings that can ramp up your repayment plan and get you out of debt faster.

regular contributions to your investments held in an RRSP all year round and get your money working for you all year round.

• Get the full value of dollar cost averaging. When you invest regularly, you are able to acquire a larger number of securities, such as mutual fund units, when the price is lower and fewer when it’s higher. Over the longer term, your average cost per unit will likely be lower than if you had made lump sum payments, and your overall returns could be higher.

managing your money Tap home equity Consider consolidating your debt through a home equity loan with a much lower interest rate than your credit cards (which typically range from 19% up to 28% for a retail card). When you keep the same amortization period, your overall lower interest rate will create additional cash flow to help you meet other financial goals.

So … now that you’ve got your debt under control, it’s time to look at how you can make the best use of your new-found investment dollars. In other words, it’s time to start PAC-ing. A PreAuthorized Contribution (PAC) program delivers benefits like these: • Automatic investments via a monthly amount you choose to have debited from your bank account and invested for you.

• Eliminate the annual scramble to find money for your contributions into investments held in an RRSP. Use your PAC to make

Deal with your debt now through debt consolidation; get PAC-ing to solidify your financial future -- and wrap all your financial and retirement hopes and dreams into a comprehensive financial plan.

That’s the right recipe for feeling confident about your life as it is today and as it will be for all your tomorrows. The best place to start? Talking to your professional advisor today.

Despite this mishap in September, traffic accidents decreased in the first nine months of 2013.

Quarterly crime stats show a positive trend Paul Rudan

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Crime and calls for police help were lower in 2013 over the previous year’s statistics.

The final numbers for last year are still not in, but crime stats provided by Campbell River RCMP for the third quarter of 2013 show a positive trend.

“The detachment continues to push forward with our crime reduction strategies,” wrote Insp.

Lyle Gelinas in his report to city council, “and by taking some of our…prolific offenders off the the street, we have realized a minor reduction in calls for service.”

There were 349 fewer calls for police help last year (over three quarters) and most numbers were

down across the board: n Assaults down 296 to 262. n Sexual offences down 21 to 15. n Liquor offences down 626 to 590. n Traffic collisions down 79 to 69. n Injury accidents down 79 to 67.

There was also a slight decrease in property offences from 1,381 to 1,318. Here’s the breakdown of break-ins: n Business up 29 to 35. n Residential down 94 to 92. n Auto theft down 42 to 24. n Thefts from vehicles down 215 to 185.

Local Mounties dealt with a total of 2,785 criminal offences for the first nine months of 2013. That’s down from 2,886 in the same period

of 2012.

Insp. Gelinas gave credit to the volunteers from Citizens on Patrol for their assistance in a variety of ways and the Restorative Justice Program.

There were 18 restorative justice sessions last year involving theft, mischief, assault and bullying.

One notable session was for the five young people who smashed the concrete picnic table located beside the new Splash Park at Willow Point Park.

The culprits were all identified. They paid $1,200 to buy a new table and wrote apology letters to those affected by their mischief, thereby avoiding costly court trials and possible convictions for those accused.

What mistakes do new puppy owners make?

• Lack of exposure to novel experiences during the puppy’s critical socialization period. You absolutely have to expose your puppy to as many different things as possible - even schedule time off work while you settle your puppy into his new routines, you simply cannot make up for lost time especially with a young puppy.

• Lack of basic obedience training when dogs are most receptive to learning new behaviors. This begins the minute your new addition comes into your life. Source out the best trainer/class for your puppy and make the time for all of your family to attend. Puppies are ready to learn things as early as 8 weeks!! Why wait and try to untrain bad behaviors you’ve let happen....

It is usually an inflammation of the soft tissue surrounding the lower leg bone called the Tibia.

Overuse and over pronation of the foot are often to blame, but other contributing factors include muscle weakness, non supportive shoes, running on hard surfaces and overtraining. Other causes may be tendonitis, a muscle tear, uneven leg length, and lumbo-sacral instability.

The start of a new year can signal a fresh start for pets needing a change in their routine. For example, with over 50 percent of pets in Canada are classified as overweight, there’s no better time for owners to commit to a new diet and exercise regimen for their pets.

Calorie control: Many owners “eyeball” their pet’s daily intake and pour that into a bowl, usually resulting in overfeeding and weight gain. It’s important to use an actual measuring cup to ensure your pet isn’t taking in more calories than they need. The Dr. Peter Woodward recommended feeding guidelines on the bag are good place to start to figure out how much food your dog or cat really needs. Older pets and those who have been spayed or neutered usually have lower energy needs than young, intact animals.

What about senior pets (>7 years of age) may have lower energy requirements, but have other medical issues like degenerative joint disease that may be helped with the appropriate diet. Choosing a diet specifically tailored to your pet’s life stage is a great way to keep them in optimal health, please discuss with your family veterinarian if your food is appropriate.

How do you exercise fat cats? Toys that trigger a cat’s predatory instinct are a great way to get them off the couch and engaged in a little activity. Experiment to see what really gets your cat goingin addition to lasers, catnip toys, crinkly balls, and climbable cat trees are feline favorites. Even a cardboard box can become a cat cave that satisfies a cat’s desire for a hiding place- he or she may bounce in and out of it, ultimately losing weight.

If you need more weight loss tips, please contact your family veterinarian for safe and effective ways of losing weight.

ARE YOU AN EXPERT?

Dr. Ingrid Pincott ND

Most mortgage insurance products that offer a disability coverage option are fairly straight forward: Darlene Garat 1) the insurance makes the premium Financial Advisor payment for you in the event of a serious disability, and 2) there will likely be a maximum allowable on the amount. If you have other payments such as vehicle loans, RRSP loans, or lines of credit, these payments will not be covered. A similar product offered by independent life insurance brokers is called loan insurance. It has a death benefit like mortgage insurance that can decrease – or remain a level benefit - and it has a disability component that can cover all of your payments should you become disabled. Call now to book a free consultation to see if this product will protect you better.

What is the Because you Care Lottery?

What advice do you give your patients to help them through a tough emotional period?

I encourage them to keep a Dr. Ingrid Pincott ND gratitude journal. Many years Naturopathic Physician ago I read “Simple Abundance”

by Sara Ban Breathnach. She recommends having a daytimer in which to record five things for which you are grateful each day. I use a beautiful one called “Reflections” carried by local book stores. In order to feel grateful, the ego needs to take a back seat and frustration turns to appreciation. The more grateful you are, the more you have to be grateful for!

While these are much anticipated and long awaited positive changes to our market, they aren’t overly big ones…..yet anyway. There is plenty of evidence to suggest that these numbers will likely continue to head in the same direction, but how fast is a question with an even bigger unknown.

Sir John A.’s bicentennial fast approaches!

www.campbellriverMirror.com www.CampbellRiverMirror.com

RobeRt P. tchegus Sir John A. MAcdonAld BicentenniAl coMMiSSion

As Sir John A. Macdonald Day, Jan. 11, 2014 gets even closer, it is important to remember that Canada is now only one-year away from the Father of Confederation’s bicentennial year.

I’m proud to report that a group of volunteers and staff at the non-profit, non-partisan Sir John A. Macdonald Bicentennial Commission, www.sirjohna2015. ca, has been hard at work since 2010 planning and encouraging Canadians to mark this important date.

In order to help us achieve this worthy goal, our commission has been joined by all six living past Prime Ministers of Canada who serve proudly as our Honorary Commissioners.

Former premiers Jean Charest and Bob Rae also serve in this role as does Sir John Major of the United Kingston and Scotland’s First Minister Alex Salmond. Canada’s longest serving House of Commons Speaker, Peter Milliken is our Patron. The federal government’s Department of Canadian Heritage and City of Kingston, joined by corporate sponsors such as Manulife Financial, Via Rail and generous donors

like Power Corporation, Morgan Meighen & Associates, Stewart Title, the Davies Foundation, Homestead Landholdings, the Churchill Society for the Advancement of Parliamentary Democracy and others, are making our success possible.

In a country that traditionally has not celebrated its history and past leaders, we believe Sir John A.’s 200th birthday is a once-in-ageneration opportunity to engage citizens, particularly young people, in learning more about Canada’s founding as a nation in 1867. By studying our past and re-discovering Canada’s earliest days as a country, we hope that young Canadians and adults alike will learn more about our institutions and the compromises – and successes and failures – that have made us who and what we are as Canadians.

We have been busy assembling a collection of Sir John A.’s most important speeches that we hope to distribute to Canadian schools in book form or on-line.

Our commission has also been taking our play, Sir John, Eh? The Roadshow, to Canadian schools. Students and educators tell us over and over again how the presentation of Canada’s history by our profes-

Sir John A. Macdonald’s official portrait. A volunteer commission is planning to commemorate his bicentennial.

sional actors from the SALON Acting Company truly brings the past alive.

Canadian teachers have proven excellent partners and there have been Sir John A. Macdonald birthday parties in various classrooms, a Sir John A. Macdonald portrait contest was held in another school and former prime minister John Turner served as the judge of the final entries; there have been Macdonald-themed videos created by young people and so much more. Thanks to a partnership with the experts at Library and Archives Canada, the Macdonald Library is taking shape.

Visitors to the Sir John A. Macdonald Bicentennial Commission’s website will find that we

are bringing together primary and educational materials about Sir John A. in one place so they’ll be available to students and researchers for many years to come.

To further these educational programs, we are also working closely with Queen’s University – which Sir John A. helped found – and engaging leading academics in the Macdonald bicentennial movement. In January 2013 more than 50 experts from top Canadian universities, joined by political figures such as Government House Leader Peter Van Loan and former House of Commons Speaker Peter Milliken, gathered for a one-day conference, Macdonald and Federalism that sparked impres-

sive academic debate and discussion.

On Sir John A. Macdonald Day this year the Queen’s School of Policy Studies and the Queen’s Law School are presenting another conference, Sir John A. Macdonald Then and Now, that will continue to build on the Macdonald momentum.

Experts from a variety of Canadian universities will be in attendance. It is our hope that a multiday academic conference will also take place in 2015.

As a lawyer myself I’ve been proud of the increasing involvement by members of my profession in the Macdonald bicentennial movement. Sir John A. Macdonald, of course, was one of the leading lawyers of his day.

Distinguished jurists such as the Right Honourable Beverley McLachlin, Chief Justice of Canada, and the Honourable Thomas Cromwell of the Supreme Court have even take time from punishing schedules to lead our educational Sir John A. walks for students.

The Sir John A. Macdonald Bicentennial Commission has also been busy building a national network of citizens in communities from coast-to-coast-tocoast who are interested in the celebrations.

Through our free monthly newsletter Canadians share ideas and plans for 2015 with each other.

This month, (January 2014) we will start an important series of town hall meetings in Atlantic Canada where Canadians will be asked how they think this important national milestone should be marked.

These consultations

build on successful discussions we have already held in the Ontario communities of Toronto, Kingston, Ottawa and Orillia. For those who can’t attend our town halls in person, I hope you will consider still providing us your input.

You can always email us at info@sirjohna2015.ca to ensure your voice will be heard.

As we enter 2014, I heartily encourage all Canadians to become involved in the Macdonald bicentennial movement. Sir John A.’s story – that of an immigrant child who came to our shores and went on to found a transcontinental nation – can inspire us still as we approach the 150th anniversary of Confederation in 2017.

Robert P. Tchegus is a partner at the law firm of Cunningham Swan and the Sir John A. Macdonald Bicentennial Commission’s volunteer steering committee’s chair.

DEATHS

Margaret Eileen Vogel

March 18, 1913- December 31, 2013 Margaret Eileen Vogel, matriarch of the Sumner and Vogel clans passed peacefully on December 31, 2013.

In her 100 years, she had a life of adventure: pioneering on Stuart Island, trapping possums in New Zealand, digging for gems in the Outback of Australia and creating a cozy home and beautiful garden for herself on Quadra Island after the death of her husband William Henry Vogel of 62 years.

Margaret will be remembered for her remarkable mind and her capacity for enduring friendships.

Her constant curiosity sustained her. She wrote letters and stayed in touch with her many friends gathered through the years.

When she entered a room, people were captivated by her quiet presence. Although she was a woman who kept her own counsel, her interest in people never abated.

In her later years, Margaret was so lovingly cared for by Lee Granbois and her caring staff at Sunshine Manor. She was also blessed with many grandchildren, great-grandchildren and 4 great-great-grandchildren who meant the world to her.

A great lady has passed, leaving an indelible imprint on the hearts of all who knew her.

#6-1040 9th Ave., Campbell River BC 250-287-2240 Condolences may be left for the family at: www.campbellriverfunerals.com

Carol Ellen (Forbes) Hurrell

:PVS $PNNVOJUZ :PVS $MBTTJmFET

April 28, 1935 - December 26, 2013 Carol passed away peacefully at the Terrace Hospital, with her daughter Maureen by her side. She was predeceased by her husband and soulmate Chuck, who died June 5, 2013 only one month shy of their sixtieth wedding anniversary.

Survived by her son Murray and Leah Hurrell, daughter Maureen and Scott Tarrant, sister Arline Lozensky, grandsons Casey and Shilo Tarrant, her precious great granddaughter Paisley Rose, and many cherished nieces, nephews, brotherin-laws and sister-in-laws.

Carol was born and raised in Glidden, Saskatchewan, where she met and married Charles. They lived in Sandgren, Sanctuary and Hazlet in the province of Saskatchewan where they raised their family. Chuck and Carol then lived in Stewart and for the past twenty years, Black Creek.

Above all else, Mom treasured her family most; and we are blessed to have the memory of many happy, fun times with Mom and Dad; camping trips, family feasts, card games and holidays. She considered it nothing to take an afternoon from camping, do three loads of laundry, make some peach jam and a few pies, pop a quick roast dinner in the oven and return back to the campsite that night with all the food, and then be ready to take on everyone in a card game. Anyone who visited Carol’s immaculate house was treated to warm Saskatchewan hospitality, hot coffee, bountiful baking, cooking and much laughter and love.

A fierce competitor with a strong sense of fair play, Carol was an avid curler, and competed in that sport many years, enjoying many a bonspiel. Her loud calls of “Hurry Hard!� could be heard clearly throughout the curling rink. When she no longer played, she was an enthusiastic fan, following all the championships on tv, and was thrilled to attend a Tournament of Hearts Championship with Maureen.

Elevating domestic arts to a masterpiece, Carol worked tirelessly alongside Chuck, turning their garden harvest into preserves, jams, pickles and relishes, many of which won blue ribbons at local fairs. Her enduring commitment to community and strong work ethic made Carol an invaluable member of her volunteer groups, Royal Purple in Saskatchewan, the Ladies Hospital Auxiliary in Stewart and the Old Age Pensioners of Black Creek.

Her legacy of love, hard work and devotion will remain as an inspiration to us all.

There is no service by Carol’s request.

IN MEMORIAM

In Loving Memory

December 16, 1930 – January 7, 2000

Kurt Koecher I thought of you with love today, But this is nothing new.

I thought of you yesterday, And the days before that too.

I miss your kind and thoughtful ways Your teasing and your smile What I would give to hold your hand And talk to you awhile.

One thing I have to tell you and of which there is no doubt.

You are wonderful to remember, Yet So hard to live without.

The years may wipe out many things, But this will never fade, the memories of the happy days When we were all together.

I hold you tightly within my heart And there you will remain ‘ Life has gone on without you But will never be the same.

I love you Kurt and miss you terribly You will be with me in my heart always. ~ Love Mary

WEEK OF DEC. 29, 2013 TO JAN. 4, 2014

WEEK OF JANUARY 5 TO 11, 2014

THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK:

THE LUCKIEST SIGNS THIS WEEK:

ARIES, TAURUS, AND GEMINI.

CANCER, LEO, AND VIRGO.

ARIES

The holidays are finally over, thank goodness. You need some rest and relaxation, so treat yourself well and take some time to nap, read, or go to the movies.

TAURUS

Your social life is getting busier. You might be invited to a few more parties, where you’ll be really happy to bump into some old acquaintances.

GEMINI

It feels like time is a rare commodity, with all there is to do both at home and at work.

You might decide to do some big cleaning jobs at home if you’re still off work.

CANCER

You might be stricken by a sudden urge to go away on vacation. Talk to your partner about it, as he or she might easily be convinced to go with you. You could also envisage a return to school.

LEO

There’s a fair bit of emotion in the air.

Tread carefully, because you’re not always very good at managing this kind of situation. It may occur to you that you’d like to move.

VIRGO

You’re very acquiescent at the moment and find yourself readily devoting body and soul to your partner. A good talk should keep things balanced all around.

LIBRA

Crossword

Your health may be worrying you, but you can recover your energy with a simple change of diet. It is important to try to harmonize the different areas of your life.

SCORPIO

All eyes are on you, whether you’re single or not. Your charisma pays off, both emotionally and professionally.

SAGITTARIUS

Family takes up most of your attention.

Enjoy taking the time to see some of your loved ones who weren’t able to be present over the holidays.

Are you aware that Block Parent in British Columbia no longer exists?

Due to issues with having private homes as safe places, the program had to close its doors. But that left a large gap in creating a safer Campbell River for residents. To help bridge this gap, the Immigrant Welcome Centre is teaching the Safe Harbour program to businesses and public organizations.

The main commitments of Safe Harbour include: n providing an immediate safe place; n prepared employees and worksites; n and fair treatment for all.

Organizations can request workshops tailored to their unique needs. All Safe Harbour locations receive a window decal so customers and clients can see that you are a diversity friendly business and a safe place.

“Becoming a Safe Harbour teaches businesses best practices with hands-on customer service skills like (the) how to be respectful of all aspect of diversity and shows all customers and clients they are valued clients,” said Rachel Blaney, Executive Director of the Immigrant Welcome Centre. “Individuals benefit because it gives a sense of security and place to go if they are feeling threatened, uneasy or just want to be where they know they will be treated with respect.”

Developed in Nanaimo, and now used across Canada, Safe Harbour is an award-winning program with over 1000 locations in British Columbia alone. Look for the Safe Harbour decal in over 40 local organizations and businesses such as Subway, OK Tire, Sportsplex, RCMP Station, Family Services and NIEFS. To set up your Safe Harbour training or to discuss your organizations specific needs contact SafeHarbour@ImmigrantWelcome.ca or call 250-8300171.

Mount Washington strikes deal for free skiing for passholders at Whistler Blackcomb

If Mother Nature won’t cooperate, Mount Washington has no intention of letting its season passholders wait any longer to get on the snow.

In an unprecedented move, the mountain has secured a deal to provide free – that’s not a typo – free skiing and snowboarding at Whistler Blackcomb from Jan. 6-31 for Mount Washington season passholders. This deal is available to all Gold, Alpine, Midweek and Student passholders. If the snow drought ends and Mount Washington gets enough snow to open in January, the Whistler Blackcomb deal will end with a three-day grace period.

“We appreciate that Whistler Blackcomb has been receptive to making this type of arrangement, it’s not often you see this level of cooperation from two ski resorts,” says Don Sharpe, Director of Business Operations and Marketing at Mount Washington. “We were determined to find a way to get our passholders on the snow and we hope they can take advan-

tage of this tremendous opportunity we’ve negotiated on their behalf.”

Free skiing and boarding is good news in times of need, and these are definitely times of need for Vancouver Island’s skiers and boarders.

A 50-year precipitation low since early November has delayed the start of Mount Washington’s winter by a month and left their loyal season passholders literally snow-starved.

Whistler Blackcomb currently offers the most skiing and snowboarding in North America. With a base of 115 cm, over 7,000 acres of terrain and top to bottom skiing, Mount Washington’s passholders will be able to get their fix of snow sliding while they wait for the snow to pile up at their home mountain.

“The deal with Whistler Blackcomb goes to the end of January unless we can open up before then,” adds Sharpe.

“Obviously, we’re hoping the weather changes quickly and the sooner we can open up the better.”

Violist Takizawa graduated from The Juilliard School with a Master of Music Degree in Performance. He has been a finalist at several music competitions including the Eckhardt-Gramatte, ASTA, and Irving Klein International String Competitions.

A member of the Koerner Quartet and Turning Point Ensem-

From the Comox Valley, pianist Hagen has been heard in concert halls and on the airwaves throughout North America and Europe.

As First Prize Winner in the 2013 Bradshaw & Buono International Piano Competition, she was awarded the opportunity to perform solo at New York City’s Carn-

egie Hall in May 2013.

Highlights of Hagen’s upcoming season include recitals featuring Rachmaninoff ’s complete Opus 32 Preludes in both Ontario and PEI, a Pro’ject Sound performance in Saint John featuring New Brunswick photographers and the recent launch of her second album, Devoted: Music of Robert and Clara Schumann.

The concert is at 2 p.m. at Trinity Presbyterian Church, located at 145 Simms Road. Individual tickets are $25 (regular), $20(seniors) and $10 (students). For more information: www. sarahhagen.com, email: info@sarahhagen.com, or phone: (778) 8727244.

Lack of snow doesn’t deter nordic racers

In spite of minimal time on snow this season, the Strathcona Nordic Ski Club race team brought hardware home from the BC Cup 1 race in Prince George last weekend.

Thirteen racers made the long trek from the Island to Prince George along with club coaches and support crew. Head Coach Dave Battison says, “It was fantastic! I was very proud of all of our racers. They haven’t had any training time on snow yet this year, and everyone performed well.

The other teams have been training on snow for many weeks at this point. Our team did really well, which is due to all of the hard work that everyone has put into dryland training this year.”

In the skate technique races, the following athletes won medals: Ross Lamon - silver, Tallon Noble - silver, Avalon Wasteneys - silver, Alec Stapff - bronze, Marilyn Atkinson - bronze. In classic technique races, Tallon Noble brought home a silver medal and Marilyn Atkinson a bronze medal.

Strathcona Nordics racers look forward to the BC Cup 2 races in Kamloops later this month. They hope the snow gods smile on Mount Washington soon, so they can begin training on snow for this next race. The Strathcona Nordics recreational programs are scheduled to begin this weekend, so the whole club is watching the weather forecast.

The No. 1 Auto Body midget Tyees pressure the Port Alberni Bulldogs’ net during Saturday’s contest (above and below) at Rod Brind’Amour Arena.

Bulldogs bark but have not much bite against Tyees

The No 1 Auto Body midget Tyees hosted the Port Alberni Bulldogs at the Rod Brind’Amour Arena on Jan. 4.

The Bulldogs got the first goal at 9:45 of the first period. The Tyees tied the game when Tyson Goebels stole the puck off a Bulldog’s defenceman and scored with 56 seconds left in the period.

During the second period, the Tyees carried the play to the Bulldogs.

Jake Mackenzie scored at

19:32 to give the Tyees the lead. Keaton Dion scored at 11:07 off a pass from Jake Mackenzie. At 4:55, Keaton Dion scored again. Port Alberni made it 4-2 at 3:03.

At 2:43 Darian Swift scored an unassisted goal, when he stole a puck behind the net and banked it off the Bulldog’s goalie.

Port Alberni made it 5-3 29 seconds into the second period, but that was as close as they got.

The Tyees played sound

hockey through the third period to win 5-3.

Nic Kirchner was in goal for the Tyees and made some key saves throughout the contest.

Jake Mckenzie had three assists during the game for the Tyees.

There were no penalties called during the game.

Next weekend the No 1 Auto Body midget Tyees will be away from Campbell River playing in a tournament in Kamloops.

Nor does it hurt skiers

Podium of Life Ski Academy is still in session, and ski competitors are still travelling to races to test themselves.

Although there has not been any snow to train on, Podium of Life students have been dry land training for the last few weeks. Using the natural environment of Strathcona Park, students experienced fun with fitness through hikes, adventure games, and hard work. The Vancouver Island Mountain Centre offered another venue for training. Students used the training facilities to focus on certain exercises to compliment their skiing.

It looks like the dry land training paid off for some ski racers. The Mount Washington ski racers have just returned from Apex mountain and the Podium students had some great results.

Maja Nymann, of Campbell River, won two silvers medals in the U16 category, and her sister, Sylvi, in the U 14 category, raced to 12th and 13th. Kieran Harley, Victoria, earned a 18th and 20th position in the U14 group, while his brother, Hayden got 11th and 14th. In the U16 age class Liam Gilchrist, of Victoria, won 4th and 7th, and Kole Harle raced to a silver medal.

Deflation in B.C. prices B.C.’s consumer price index slipped into negative territory in November, partly due the repeal of the harmonized sales tax last spring.

The price index in Vancouver was up slightly, but deflation in Victoria and other areas of the province produced a provincial average of -0.2 per cent for the month.

Canada-wide, inflation was 0.9 per cent.

The cost of restaurant food fell 4.4 per cent in November compared to the same month in 2012, Statistics Canada reported. The provincial average cost of health and personal care, including services where sales tax was removed, went down 3.1 per cent.

There were average price increases in food purchased from stores, up 1.1 per cent, clothing up 1.3 per cent, transportation up 0.7 per cent and alcohol and tobacco products, up 1.7 per cent.

Average rent costs were up 1.0 per cent, but overall shelter cost was down 0.7 per cent, continuing a decline since mid-2012.

B.C. BRIEFS is forecast to increase 1.5 per cent in 2014, 2.5 per cent in 2015 and three per cent in 2016.

New home sales are

expected to rebound by about 30 per cent in 2014, but remain at a low level of 15,500 units sold, said Central 1 economist Brian Yu. New construction in the Lower Mainland Southwest region is expected to decline slightly due to high inventory, while housing

starts are forecast to rise in most other areas of the province.

B.C. population reaches 4.6 million

B.C.’s population grew by 24,000 in the third quarter of 2013, reaching 4,606,375.

It’s the largest population increase for that quarter since 1996.

The increase was mainly a result of 15,477 nonpermanent residents, which Statistics Canada warns are a volatile component of population measurement.

Northern B.C. communities are dealing

with what they call “ghost populations,” with thousands of workers flying in and out of industrial camps who put pressure on local services without contributing to communities.
