When the Coast Discovery Inn opened 51 years ago, the keys were thrown into the ocean in a symbolic gesture that the hotel doors should never be closed. Now the current owner of the hotel is threatening to break that promise. On Jan. 6, Sukhy Bains, owner and general manager of the Coast Discovery Inn, gave notice to the health and hospitality union, Unite Here Local 40, that he intends to close the hotel March 7 due to financial losses, putting approximately 35 workers out of work. But Shelly Ervin, an officer with the Unite Here Local 40 union, is skeptical Bains will permanently shut down the hotel. “He has made comments he wants to open non-union so he doesn’t have to pay the employees a decent wage or benefits,” Ervin said. “These benefits are the same as approximately 60 properties throughout B.C. including the Quinsam Hotel in Campbell River. “It does not make sense that the
hotel will close prior to the busy season, especially since he has recently put money into the hotel to renovate it.” If the hotel is shuttered, it will be an unfortunate twist of irony. The Discovery Inn opened on June 16, 1963 – one year after the opening of Tyee Plaza – to an open house attended by more than 4,000 people. During the opening ceremony, hotel manager Gordon Jennings presented Village Chairman R.D. Jamieson

s there any cooler job than being a lifeguard? They all seem young and fit. They get to wear shorts and t-shirts to work and stand around in watchful poses looking all flinty-eyed and authoritative. Yep, you’re thinking: nice work if you can get it. But Susan Bullock, Strathcona Gardens’ manager of programs, wants you to know that there’s more to being a lifeguard than you realize. “A lot of people think they’re all 16-year-olds and they stand around like this (leans with elbow against a wall),” Bullock says. But the truth is Strathcona Gardens’ lifeguards are a mix of ages – from 16 to 40-something. They’ve also paid their dues to get the job. It costs $2,250 in courses and takes 278 hours of course time to become qualified to get a job as a lifeguard at Strathcona Gardens, Campbell River’s swimming pool, arena and recreation complex. And once they’ve got the job, they have to keep working at it to keep it. Case in point was Sunday morning where 21 Strathcona Gardens lifeguards and two supervisors were participating in a quarterly inservice training session. “Certification as a NLS (National Lifeguard Service) lifeguard is not the end of a lifeguard’s education but, rather, the beginning,” Bullock says. After initial training, lifeguards have to stay good and get better at what they do. To stay good, they practice skills, apply knowledge and use problem solving, decision making and judgement. “To get better, lifeguards have to learn, grow and develop both personally and profes-

with a key to unlock the padlocked front doors. After the doors were unlocked, the key was thrown into the ocean to signal that from that day forward the doors of the Discovery Inn should always be open. In 1965, a distinctive, six-storey annex was added to the Discovery Inn which made Campbell River’s first luxury hotel the second largest hotel on Vancouver Island next to the Empress Hotel in Victoria. Owned by Delta Hotels, the hotel switched hands several times and was owned by Coast Hotels, a Japanese investment company, OKABE Com-
pany, and eventually Bains. Now, Ervin said Bains doesn’t seem interested in working with the union to save the hotel. “The union has repeatedly asked to meet with the owner Sukhy Bains since the fall of 2012 to see if there was a solution. So far he has refused to meet,” Ervin said. “In fact, we had a meeting scheduled for Monday, Jan. 6 which Mr. Bains cancelled a few days in advance and instead he called a staff meeting and gave them their notice. “This is clear Mr. Bains has never had any intention of meeting with the union. We see this as nothing more than union busting to drive

down workers’ wages in Campbell River.” Ervin said the union believes that Bains’ actions are in violation of B.C. Labour Laws. “We believe the owner has acted contrary to B.C. law and the union will respond accordingly,” Ervin said. If a Labour Relations
complaint is filed, it won’t be the first time Bains has had to deal with the B.C. Labour Relations Board. On Jan. 9, 2013 Bains assembled the hotel’s 20 food and beverage workers in a room at the hotel and gave each employee a letter notifying them that their services would
no longer be needed. “It is with great sadness I regret to inform you that the Coast Discovery Inn Food and Beverage Departments will be closing as of Friday, Jan. 18, 2013. Your position will be finished (as) of that date. Due to economic reasons, I can no longer afford to continue with this area of the hotel,” reads the letter. Seven months later, on Aug. 15, the B.C. Labour Relations Board ruled that Bains had breached Section 54 of the Labour Relations Code because he did not give 60 days notice to the Unite Here union. He was ordered by Leah Terai, vice-chair of the board, to pay the affected employees’

judgement, knowledge, skill and fitness in both day-to-day guarding and in the stress of an emergency,” Bullock says. Inservice training helps sustain the lifeguard’s confidence in their ability to prevent accidents and to respond competently when they do occur. So, on Sunday morning 21 lifeguards were put through their paces being tested in their abilities to respond to emergency situations. Two guards were put on duty at a time while all the other lifeguards were in the pool “playing” with various floating pool toys. The on-duty guards had to spot when one of them begins mimicking
being in distress. In a cluttered pool, it’s not so easy to detect somebody slipping under the surface. Once a guard detects the distressed swimmer, she blows her whistle to draw the other guard’s attention, indicates where the situation is and then plunges into the pool to effect a rescue. The guards are timed for how long it takes to recognize the emergency and then assessed on the action they took. They then receive direct feedback from the supervisors. Providing lifeguarding duties at the pool is only part of the job. Strathcona Gardens lifeguards are also swimming instructors. So, besides being a reliable and well
trained professional, Gardens lifeguards also need to be good communicators with people of all different ages, Bullock says. You have to like kids in particular.
“It’s a fun job. You can’t be a grouchy person, you’ve got to be outgoing and fun,” she says. So, maybe some of the stereotype does apply.
Being fit and personable is part of the job. And so is being cool – in the sense of being watchful and cool under pressure. Somebody’s life may depend on it.
service sectors have continued to struggle. It is hoped that the (Discovery Inn) will re-open in the future as many citizens depend on it for employment and the DI has been a centrepiece of Campbell River for five decades.” Meanwhile, Ervin said the hotel employees are doing everything they can to keep their jobs, and are in the process of trying to break from the union. “The threat of closing has scared the workers to file a decertification application in the hopes of hanging onto their jobs,” Ervin said. Bains could not be reached for comment before the Mirror went to press.

And now he’s planning to part ways with the union altogether by possibly closing the hotel. Mayor Walter Jakeway said that would not be surprising. “The closure is disappointing, but not unexpected, as the Tyee mall itself is having financial difficulties, and this is the lean time of year for tourists,” Jakeway said. “The 2013-2014 construction surge in Campbell River gives a false indication that the economy is all well and good. It is not. The retail/

Banned senior assaulted police officer PAUL RUDAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
A 70-year-old disabled man who requires the use of a wheelchair has been banned from Quality Foods after assaulting a police officer. Paul Stevenson told the judge he’s not “a rude person,” but when he’s under the influence of alcohol, the Campbell River senior reportedly disrupts
staff and patrons at Quality Foods. “He knows he’s not supposed to be hanging out around the front doorway,” said Crown prosecutor Bruce Goddard. Ste vens on was in Campbell River provincial court Tuesday for sentencing after being found guilty of assaulting an RCMP officer and mischief last October. According to Goddard,
Stevenson was banned from the store, located in the Merecroft Village plaza, due to an alleged past incident, but continued to go there. On May 28, 2013, Campbell River RCMP were called after Stevenson showed up again. This time a scuffle ensued in the parking lot and Stevenson struck an officer in the eye. Stevenson told Judge Roderick
Sutton the officer was trying to handcuff his left hand, he was trying to resist and then his right hand came off the armrest of his wheelchair and hit the Mountie. “I do apologize to the constable and I do see him here in court today,” said Stevenson, who defended his actions. “It was not assault. I did not purposely assault this gentleman, this police
officer.” But Goddard pointed out that explanation was never offered at trial when Stevenson was found guilty on the two charges. The prosecutor also referred to a pre-sentence report which spells out how Stevenson was repeatedly told he was not allowed in Quality Foods, but went anyway due to “feelings of entitlement.” The report also indi-
cated that Stevenson sees himself as the victim and that he maintains his innocence. Goddard also noted that Stevenson had no prior record for violence and the court had to consider his age and health. Stevenson has been in poor health since suffering a stroke. He lives near the hospital to be close for various medical treatments and gets around the city in a

The judge agreed, noting the assault was at the “lower end.” He gave Stevenson a suspended sentence and placed him on one year of probation.

Our View
An ‘A’ for effort Advocates of a pilot project in Surrey School District elementary schools – designed to explore different ways for teachers to report a child’s academic progress – make a good case that there are constructive alternatives to the traditional reportWe say: Reforms card approach. But we won’t give them are welcome but a pass on the most contentious aspect the project – setting aside the timewe all understand of tested letter grade. While the Utopian zeal to find a the letter grade better way is commendable, this comes perilously close to throwing out the proverbial baby with the bathwater. What’s wrong with keeping letter grades, alongside the more conscientious summaries?
Anyone who has been through our school system as a student and/or parent will recognize that the bald letter grade misses the finer points of an individual’s progress. Too often excellent work, heartening development and delightful expression is flattened, minimized, even suppressed by rigid alphabetic tyranny. Even attempts to shade the picture with pluses and minuses are inadequate substitutes for thorough evaluation. Tests and exams are not a fail-safe measure of what a student actually knows and understands, and offer scant recognition of individual’s learning strengths and weaknesses. And it’s frightening to contemplate how many positions of responsibility, in our 21st century world, are occupied
by people who gained their qualifications by dint of cramming, regurgitating the opinions of others without developing any facility for critical thinking, and taking tests that have long since been all but forgotten. And yet, given the realities of that world – and the place we are preparing for our children in it – it seems unfair to deprive them of a key tool for progress. Even given the shortcomings of a traditional letter grade, it has endured because we need a short form of evaluation, as well as more comprehensive forms. Reform education by all means – but don’t threaten our children’s progress, or crush their expectations, through asymmetrical reform. – Black Press
Letters
Layoffs should be a concern The recent announcement of layoffs of unionized workers at the New Horizons Seniors’ Care facility by Park Place should be cause for alarm for anyone who cares about our seniors, who will receive a lower quality of care. When this company took over a seniors’ home in Duncan they hired back very few of their workers, then claimed there was a labour shortage, and applied through the Temporary Foreign Workers Program to bring in workers willing to work for much lower wages. But this issue is much bigger than that. This layoff should concern anyone who cares about our community, our local economy, and our society. This is an example of how the application of an anti-union political ideology can so negatively affect our local and our Canadian society. The public needs to connect the dots to see who gains from this change in attitude toward unions, i.e. corporations. Decent wages, good working conditions, job security, pensions etc. do not promote the corporate agenda to make maximum profits. There has been a concerted effort over the last few decades to convince the public that unions undermine our economic performance. This is not backed up by any unbiased evidence. In fact, when workers earn Continued on Pg. 9

We find what we lose, so just get rid of that weight
Paul Rudan No, really
No one sets out to become fat. Like most things in life, it’s a process compounded by multiple factors: Poor eating habits, not enough exercise, slow metabolism, a medical condition...take your pick. I was the kid who wore “husky” jeans. I wasn’t a fat kid, but I’ve always had thick tree-trunk like legs and I was never, ever rail-thin. I kept active in a variety of sports, rode my bike daily, and ran around the parks and ravines surrounding our neighbourhood. That kept me relatively fit up to the age 20, but then it was time to “get busy and get serious” with life. And with that, my football days came to an end, I spent more time working to pay for schooling and my car, and then I
entered my career. It has been a very rewarding career, but it’s also one heck of a desk job too, which led to unhealthy habits: Too many donuts, too many lunch time meals sitting at the desk, too much to eat, big dinners with wine, late-night snacks and never, EVER, enough exercise. That’s why I became fat and when you multiply that by years, I got really fat. I wasn’t proud of my body, but somehow I managed to stay somewhat active which surprised a lot of people because: a. They didn’t think I could move that quick. b. I hadn’t dropped dead from a heart attack. Fortunately, I did not succumb to the latter (knock on wood), but my size led to serious health issues which led to the
resolution to change. Over the last two years it’s been a big change to become smaller, and one that hasn’t gone unnoticed by many in our fair city. Let me just say that I’m appreciative of all your compliments. But what I’m also finding out is this weight-loss is not just about me. Many others, struggling with their own weight, have stopped to ask, “What do you do?” At first I used to joke, “Well, I take this magic blue pill...” and watch as their eyes lit up. But it’s no fun teasing people who are searching for meaningful answers and hope too. Now I look them in their eyes and tell them the simple solution that many others told me: Calories in, calories out. More importantly I say to do some-
thing you enjoy doing: Walking, swimming, biking, yoga, whatever it takes to get your heart pumping. It won’t be easy at the start, but begin slowly and burn off the weight slowly too. You didn’t put it all on in a month and it certainly isn’t all coming off in a few weeks. I also like the phrase: “Get rid of weight,” because we tend to find whatever we lose. My own goal has never to be thin, but fit. Eating right with regular exercise is just a part of daily life and I am proud of the “new me.” I didn’t set out to become fat, but mindset now, and forever, is to never be fat again. If I can do it, you can do it too! paulr@campbellrivermirror.com

Instead of trying to raise the standards for all workers, there is a clear campaign to try to drag those with decent working conditions down to the lowest level, a race to the bottom. This ideological shift has allowed corporations and right-wing governments to make dramatic changes that have resulted in a much larger gap between the richest Canadians and the rest of society. According to Statistics Canada, the top one per cent of our citi-

zens now earn an average of 10 times the average income of other workers, a massive increase over the last 30 years. Strong evidence from Europe demonstrates that areas of higher levels of unionization have lower levels of poverty because of the higher floor for low-end wages and the narrower gap between the top and bottom wage levels. More and more companies in Canada now employ mostly part time workers who receive no benefits. Some people work two or even three part time jobs to try to eke out a living, and many of them still exist below the poverty level. The irony is that while corporations earn greater and greater profits at the expense of workers, it will be more and more
difficult for people to afford the goods that the corporations produce. A good example of corporate greed is Ikea, owned by one of the wealthiest families in the world. Yet they have locked out their unionized employees in Richmond, B.C. because they would not agree to a tiered wage structure that would pay lower wages to new employees. Just how much is enough profit for an already wealthy corporation? The middle class evolved because of the union movement beginning after the Depression, and even more notably after the Second World War. We can thank unions for minimum wage laws, benefit plans, maternity leave, pensions, health and safety standards,
and even weekends to name a few achievements. Unions have also promoted other decent working conditions, as well as social programs, human rights, and public services that benefit all citizens. Unions are more important now than ever before, not just for unionized workers, but for all Canadian workers. The community of Campbell River needs to support the workers at New Horizons who are the latest victims of the anti-union movement, and the seniors who will suffer as a result. Union is not a dirty word. We need to remember who benefits when people believe that. Elaine Thompson President Campbell River District Teachers’ Association

Foundation Foundation Skills Skills Assessment Assessment (FSA) (FSA) Information forfor Parents from School Information Parents from SchoolDistrict District72. 72. 4x6.5 Every year, parents hear various viewpoints on the Foundation Skills Assessment. School District 72 is providing this information to explain what the Foundation Skills Assessment is and how the school district uses the information from these assessments for student learning.
School District
What is the Foundation Skills Assessment?
An annual, province-wide assessment given to all grade 4 and grade 7 students to measure basic competencies in reading, writing and numeracy. The skills tested are linked to provincial curriculum and BC performance standards. Students who require adaptations will be supported in writing the assessment; those with extensive adaptation requirements may be excused.
When is the Foundation Skills Assessment?
Between January 13 to February 21. Students are given a minimum of four hours over several days to complete the assessment.
What does the School District do with the Foundation Skills Assessment?
We consider and use the information as part of our Assessment For Learning cycle. This information, along with other classroom and district data, tells parents, teachers, students, and the district what our students are doing well and where further growth is needed.
Does this count towards grades?
No. The Foundation Skills Assessment is not part of any report card mark or any other report from your child’s teacher or school. All Foundation Skills Assessment scores will be reported to the Ministry of Education and individual student results will be sent home before Spring Break.
I am writing on behalf of those who would like to easily get out of Tyee Plaza opposite 10th Street using the four way stop. As far as the traffic flow interruptions, more traffic is tied up by people waiting for angle parking spots that are
Grant less than projected School District 72’s SecretaryTreasurer Kevin Patrick presented the Board of Education with the final grant comparison for 2013/2014. The total grant money the district received from the Ministry of Education was $87,377 lower than preliminary

projections. Enrollment numbers remained on target to the preliminary projections and a reduction in salary differential (the reduction of the average costs of teacher salaries due to retirements) was offset by an increase in special education students and the release of holdback dollars by the Ministry of Education.

Why the controversy?
Some people may use the results to make comparisons or judgements about districts, schools, classes and students. Many of these comparisons will be based on small differences that are not statistically or educationally significant. For example, the Fraser Institute, which is not connected to the Ministry of Education, uses the data to create a ranking of public and private schools in the province.
Is the assessment optional?
No. The assessment is required by law under the BC School Act. Principals can only excuse students due to illness, a family emergency, or extensive adaptation requirements. Principals will notify a parent or guardian prior to the assessment administration date if they intend to excuse a student from participating in one or more components. If you feel that one of these reasons apply to your child and you haven’t received notification, contact your child’s principal.

Adopting pets not all you can do for shelters Scores of animals across the country temporarily call shelters home. In some areas, the number of animals surrendered or brought into shelters for other reasons has reached epidemic proportions, leaving many cashstrapped shelters with inadequate supplies
and space to care for so many animals. Although adopting animals from shelters remains one of the single best ways to help various organizations, for many animal lovers adoption is not feasible. Fortunately, there are other ways individuals can help shelters. Advertising
next time you are purchasing a bag of food for your pet, consider purchasing an extra one and donating it to a nearby organization. Many shelters also accept towels, linens and other items that can be used to keep animals clean and comfortable. If you are cleaning out old sheets and towels from your home, donate them to a shelter rather than tossing them into the trash.
Shelters need to get the word out about their available animals. Many operate Web sites such as the BC SPCA publish photos and information about available animals. Sharing information about local shelters among your group of friends or through social media is a way to bring information about animals and shelters in need to others. It may take mere seconds to share the plight of a shelter animal or forward a photo of animals currently living in shelters. Sharing such information can improve the animals' chances of finding homes.
Volunteer
Make charitable donations
Don't make pet decisions lightly
Shelters have limited resources and are often more than happy to take both financial donations and donations of supplies. The
Some people get a pet on a whim without fully thinking through the level of care required for animals that may live 10 or more years. Pets require a long-term commitment, so anyone who is not ready to take on a new member
Though many shelters pay their staff members, many still need and rely on volunteers. Perhaps a shelter could use assistance cleaning out cages or walking dogs?

Spay and neuter of the family should avoid doing so. Otherwise, a pet may be surrendered to a shelter and not get the life it deserved.
Responsible pet owners should neuter their pets so the animals cannot reproduce. Only reputable breeders should keep their animals intact. Preventing unwanted animal pregnancies can reduce the number of animals that find their way into shelters.
Pet adoption is one way to mitigate the growing problem of overcrowded shelters. But even animal lovers who cannot adopt can still lend a helping hand. For more information on adoption and volunteering in your area, please visit the BC SPCA website at www.spca.bc.ca.

Can I give my pets the Flu? It’s definitely flu season! People are concerned about the flu because it appears to be particularly nasty this year. Everyone I talk to seems to know someone who has suffered or is trying to get through it now. There is a flu vaccine for us, and if you were lucky enough to get it before supplies run out, hopefully it will protect you this year or at least keep your flu symptoms manageable. What about our pets? Can they get the flu? Since 2004 cases of canine influenza have been recognized, and it appears to be spreading within North America. It’s caused by a flu virus, now called canine influenza virus, which jumped from horses to dogs. The symptoms are similar to human flu: cough, runny nose, fever, and feeling crummy. For unhealthy dogs, it may cause death. Can we give the flu to our pets? There’s little doubt that when we are sick with the flu our pets must be getting exposed to the flu virus we shed. Fortunately, there are only a few documented cases where
a pet (cat, dog, ferret) has become ill with the flu virus that their owner had. However, the fact that it has occurred leaves veterinarians wondering if there will be future epidemics of the flu in pets that they acquired from us. There is a vaccine for the canine influenza virus, but so far there is none for other variants of the flu, like H1N1, for our pets. So, what can you do to protect pets from the flu? The answer is to follow the guidelines suggested by the Center for Disease Control; they are as follows:

Parents lobby Area D expansion, downtown study top list of council expenses for supervision KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Council spent several thousands of dollars on the Area D expansion issue last year, according to financial documents released by the city. A report outlining how
much money from council’s contingency account was spent and what that money was spent on was issued by city staff last Friday. In 2013, the biggest expense was $75,000 to hire a consultant to study the feasibility of the city
extending its southern boundary to take in northern Area D homes and hook them up to the city’s sewer service. Not far behind was $50,000 for a downtown and Campbellton charrette – a series of meetings to map solutions to

Council also handed out $20,005 to the Maritime Heritage Centre and $20,000 for Spirit Square decorations and lighting. A further $18,201 was shelled out for mayor and council travel. In total, $247,266 was spent in 2013 from council contingency, leaving $8,234 in the account. Council contingency exists to satisfy unexpected funding requests that come up throughout the year after the budget has already been adopted.

tingency this year. Coun. Moglove suggested at that meeting that council discuss adopting a policy or guideline for the use of council’s contingency. In 2012, council tried to stay away from relying on its contingency and spent just $4,000 of its $45,500 account balance. The Accessible Wilderness Society, which is trying to build an accessible resort at Robert’s Lake was given $600 in 2012 while the Royal Canadian Legion was awarded $400 for Remembrance D ay. The big ticket item was Campbellton neighbourhood planning opportunities which cost $3,000 from council contingency. In 2011, council spent $97,239 of its $150,000 balance. The most expensive item that year was $21,869 for Rivercorp CEO expenses.

Concerned École Willow Point elementary parents spoke to the Board of Education at its meeting Tuesday about a lack of supervision on the playground. The parents are requesting that board trustees consider increasing recess supervision funding for the 2014/2015 budget. The school’s Parent Advisory Council has been working on a number of initiatives to support the school with playground supervision during recess. O n e of those initiatives is a peer mentoring and leadership program for Grade 4 and 5 students. Students are selected to be positive leaders around the school to help their peers and to speak French outside of class. The students are tasked with creating new games during recess, facilitating conflict resolution on the playground, and providing guidance to their peers.

The Campbell River
Creative Industries Council (CRCIC) will present Uslan sharing his personal story, with a question and answer session prior to the silver anniversary movie screening of the original action/thriller Batman (rated PG13). Following the movie, Uslan will be available for book signing and autographs. See Uslan Tuesday, Feb. 4 at the Tidemark Theatre. Tickets are $10.50, available at the Tidemark box office or online at www. tidemarktheatre.com . Doors open at 6:15 p.m.

Joan Miller, INfilm Commissioner and CRCIC Director comments: “the story of ‘The Boy Who Loved Bat-
man’ is highly entertaining and inspiring.

Youth orchestra guests with Strathcona Symphony Carol Sheehan Special to the Mirror
The Strathcona Symphony Orchestra’s (SSO) first concert of the year, The Russians Are Coming, celebrates the titans of Russian composers who have become staples in the modern world’s classical music repertoire. But why, you may ask, a Russian programme? “This concert,� says Conductor Pippa Williams, “came about as our tribute to the Canadian Winter Olympic Team as they make their way to
Sochi next month. They are going to a country that may be as strange to them, as it is to some of us. The SSO wanted to bridge some of that unfamiliarity by playing melodies that we all know but may not have known that they come from classical Russian composers. The Russians Are Coming is our opportunity to explore part of the Russian music tradition—a powerful soundscape rich with musical textures and exotic images. Moreover, it is a chance to discover something about ourselves and how
Russian compositions have flavoured our North American culture.� The Russians Are Coming samples wellknown works from the golden age of Russian classical composers such as Glière, Rimsky-Korsakov, Ippolitov-Ivanov, Tchaikovsky, and Mussorgsky who based their works on Imperial Russian history and folk tales. Early in the last century Russia produced a new wave of Russian composers, including Prokofiev, Stravinsky, and Khachaturian who
projected Russian classical music into the 20th century. The SSO also features a performance by the Campbell River Youth Orchestra (CRYO) who will play Kalinka (1860) by the composer and folklorist Ivan Petrovich Larionov. CRYO conductor Blaine Waldbauer, describes the youth orchestra as “a feeder group� for the SSO. Comprised of young musicians from 9 to 16 years old, the CRYO has 23 members. “Our goal is to provide musical training for Van-
couver Island youth— especially in strings—so they can use the youth orchestra as a stepping stone to higher musical forums.� So much history, so varied a program, nine Russian composers, 13 memorable melodies— The Russians Are Coming concert is sure to surprise, delight and banish January grey skies. Creating a comfortable ambiance by seating their audience at tables, the SSO also offers a cash bar as well as Russian delicacies. Performances are in Courtenay

Storm boosts bantams
The Campbell River Booster Juice Bantam A Tyees got back to work after enjoying a great holiday season. After spending some time away from the rink, the players who were in town resumed skating and had a memorable practice that included many Storm players and their head coach, Lee Stone. On Jan. 4, they travelled south for a game against Nanaimo A Clippers. The carry-over from the Storm scrimmage was apparent to
all as the Tyees competed very hard at both ends of the rink against their Tier 1 opponents. Unfortunately, they lost this exhibition game 5-2 but the score really didn’t reflect the overall play. The Tyees hosted Comox Valley Chiefs (Tier 1) in an exhibition game on Saturday, Jan 11. Carson Borgfjord got the nod to start in goal for the Tyees. Affiliate Drew Price was in the line-up as Captain Doug Campbell joined the Midget Tyees for a tournament
in Kamloops. The Tyees started with lots of pressure but no shots on goal. The Chiefs jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead but the Tyees scored on their first shot on goal to make it 2-1. Teams kept flying up and down the ice, trading chances and scoring goals although this one had a bit of a strange ending. The Tyees led 7-6 then scored into the empty net to make it 8-6. After play resumed, Owen Boyd scored a short-handed goal to

Waves swamp the Timbers
L ast Su nd ay, t he Campbell River Waves U15 boys’ soccer team traveled to Port Alberni to take on the Alberni Timber. The game started with the Waves dominating the play against the speedy Port Alberni Timber. When in possession the Waves were passing very well, and the odd time they had trouble in their own end, a pass back to keeper Hans Haagerup would ensure that the ball got cleared back to center. Although midfielders Jeffrey Lindenbach and Dylan Kruyt had multiple chances on net, the Waves just couldn’t put one in. As the minutes were winding down in the first half it seemed as if it would finish scoreless. It was then, in the

final seconds of the half, that striker Oscar Novak took a corner kick and sent the ball right to midfielder Torin Halvorson who headed it past the Alberni keeper and into the net, putting the Waves up one. The second half started with the boys once again
retaining possession of the ball and using the space to the wings effectively, sending many runs down the side, only to be shut down by the Alberni defense. Later in one such attempt, wing midfielder, Jonah Shankar put a beautiful cross into
the middle where teammate Josh Billy took a shot on net. As the ball flew towards the goal, an Alberni defender intercepted it, causing it to rebound right to forward Darian Nohr who coolly one-timed it into the net. Soon after, a third goal for the Waves was put in by Jonah Shankar, from a strong cross by Connor Nast. Now the Waves were really on fire, and another cross from Shankar followed by a great header by Novak into the back of the net gave them their fourth goal. Novak later netted his third goal from a powerful shot taken outside the 18 yard box, giving the Waves a 5-0 lead. As the game wound down, the Timber fought

Many a wild animal stood in for pets Museum exhibit explores settlers’ relationships with animals
I
n the past, people had different relationships to animals than we do today. This was especially true amongst the early European settlers in this region, who were struggling to carve a living out of the dense Pacific rain forest. All animals had to contribute to group survival in this harsh environment. The Museum at Campbell River will have some exclusive photos of these pets from the past on display in a temporary exhibit entitled ‘Animals Among Us’ from Jan. 23 – March 30. Some of the duties ful-
filled by animals in years gone by included the tasks of providing milk, meat, eggs and wool, as well as acting as protectors and companions. Fred Nunns, one of the earliest European settlers to Campbell River, kept many animals: cows, pigs, horses, poultry, dogs and cats. As you will see through this photographic exhibit, in many cases animals were considered important members of the family. Many early settlers lived deep in inlets and on islands and kept large numbers of cats and dogs for company. There were no local pet stores or animal rescue societ-
ies from whom to adopt pets, and an untamed wilderness at one’s doorstep could lead to the adoption of many nonconventional animals. Some of the more peculiar ones included cougar, bear, and deer. Many of these adoptions were the direct result of hunting and although these animals made great pets when young, as they grew older they often had to be sent away to zoos. The Museum has produced a charming 16-month calendar to accompany the exhibit, and they are now available for sale in the gift shop. For any inquiries, call 250-287-3103.

Secret admirer pins creepy letters to trees Paul Rudan CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Mounties want to talk with the person leaving “creepy” notes for a young woman who walks her dogs in the Beaver Lodge Lands. The notes have been posted on trees and first came to police attention on Jan. 7. “This message is for a certain
young lady who owns multiple (dogs),” one of the the typed letters begins. This particular letter was recently posted online to warn others who walk the network of trails that run parallel to Dogwood Street. Finally, on Thursday, Campbell River RCMP issued a media release about the letters. “While there were no threats of
harm, it would appear the author may have been secretly watching this individual for a period of time,” said Const. Don McIntosh. “Police were able to locate the female involved and speak with her. Investigators are seeking to identify and speak with the male who left the messages.” The letter goes into detail about the individual, presumably a man, hid-
ing in the woods while the woman and a friend were walking their dogs. “I want to approach you and introduce myself. Instead, I find myself overcome by shyness and jumping off the trail, and watching you from afar,” he wrote. In the last paragraph he tells the young woman she’s “very beautiful” and, “I do not intend for this message to scare you, as it shouldn’t. I
only hope that one day I am courageous enough to come out and say hello. I realize that other people who read this may find it ‘creepy,’ but you seem to be smart enough to know the difference, and frankly, it is no one elses (sic) business.” Anyone with information about these letters should contact Campbell River RCMP or Const. McIntosh at 250-286-6221.

Locals up for biz awards A near record number of nominations are in for the 14th annual Vancouver Island Business Excellence Awards, set for Thursday, January 23, 2014 at the Vancouver Island Conference Centre. “There are some amazing businesses doing great things on Vancouver Island, and it’s exciting to see them come in as nominations for these awards,” says Robert MacDonald of Business Examiner Vancouver Island, which is coordinating the event. “This event has been celebrating the best of the best in business, and success stories from Victoria to the north end of the island. Hayes Stewart Little & C ompany Charte re d Ac c ou nt ant s , the Chartered Professional Accountants of British Columbia, and the Vancouver Island Conference Centre are Gold Sponsors of the event. Category sponsors include RBC Royal Bank, Grieg Seafoods, Invest Comox Valley and the Nanaimo Economic
Development Society. “The Business Excellence Awards has been a ‘can’t miss’ date on the calendar of events on Vancouver Island since our very first one in 1999,” adds MacDonald. “These events bring together some of the most successful and powerful business people on the island, and it’s a fantastic opportunity to network and get to know the owners and managers of these companies.” Campbell River and area finalists are: n Black Creek Agricultural Business of the Year Coastal Black Estate Winery & Meadery n Campbell River Business of the Year (Over 50) Holbrook Dyson Logging Ltd. n Campbell River Entrepreneur Denise Mitchell Interiors n Campbell River Food Service Quay West Kitchen & Catering n Campbell River Forest/Wood Products Holbrook Dyson Logging Ltd. n Campbell River Green Business of the Year Willows Market

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

The pledge minimums are: n Adult (19 – 64) $150 n Student (19 – 64) $125 n Senior (65+) $125 n Youth (13 – 18) $100 n Child (7 – 12) $75 Many of our participants add to the fun by creating a team made up of friends, family, or coworkers. Show your team spirit by dressing up or distinguishing yourselves
at Ski for MS – there will be prizes for the top fundraising team and best team spirit! FYI – team members are not required to stay together for the day. If you are up on Mount Washington on Jan. 26, stop by the Ski for MS station at the base of the Hawk 6ix Pack Chairlift. They will be holding 50/50 draws throughout the day, Jet FM will be on site with great music and the Hawk Dog Stand will be donating the proceeds of sales that day to the MS Society. Funds raised at this event will be used to: (1) provide local pro-
grams and services for people affected by MS on North Vancouver Island including information and referral, supportive counselling, self-help groups, financial assistance through our Equipment Provision Program and Special Assistance Program, and the Comox MS Clinic and (2) provide funds for our Chapter’s annual research donation. In 2013, thanks to fantastic community support for all of their fundraising events, the local chapter donated $11,330 to MS research. Multiple sclerosis is a chronic, debilitating dis-
ease of the central nervous system. Symptoms can include vision problems, extreme fatigue, muscle weakness, loss of balance and coordination, tingling and numbness, cognitive problems and partial or complete paralysis. Canada has one of the highest rates of MS in the world: an estimated 100,000 Canadians have MS. It is most often diagnosed between the ages of 15 and 40 and affects three times as many women as men. For more information about Ski for MS go to www.mssociety.ca/chapters/northvanisl or call 250-339-0819.

CITY HOSTING FIRST PUBLIC OPEN HOUSE FOR THE ZONING BYLAW UPDATE To start the Zoning Bylaw rewrite process, a series of Public Open Houses are scheduled at two locations to provide an opportunity for input on potential changes and improvements to the existing Zoning Bylaw.

Everyone who lives within the City is encouraged to come out to the informal Open House events. The Zoning Bylaw can change the type of permitted uses on specific properties or set general regulations, all of which may influence property values and neighbourhood characteristics. Bring your concerns, issues and suggestions about what you think we need to know as we proceed. The current Zoning Bylaw 3250, 2006 is available for viewing on our website, www.campbellriver.ca, or a paper copy is available in the Land Use Services Department at City Hall.

Why join the Board? This is an opportunity to play a role in landuse decision-making in Campbell River. No specific knowledge or qualifications are required, but an interest in civic governance and land use regulations is important.

Please ensure comments have arrived by 8:30 a.m. on Monday, January 20th for the January 20 meeting and 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, January 29th for the January 29 meeting.

Aubrey Charles Drake
Eileen Hanson SANDERSON February 16, 1934January 8, 2014
:PVS $PNNVOJUZ :PVS $MBTTJmFET
The Matriarch of our family passed on to be with her Lord, in the Campbell River Hospital on January 8, 2014. Eileen was born in the Peace River Region of Northern Alberta. She grew up in Victoria, spent her teenage years in the Comox Valley where she met and married Art Hanson. In 1959 they settled in Campbell River with 3 of their 4 children. James completed the family in 1963. After wrangling cattle for a few years on 17 acres, north of Campbell River, Mom was inspired to develop a mobile home park, Forest Glen. Mom never lost the ability or drive to create or start new things. She loved crafts, painting, gardening, garage sales and especially her family and extended family. The littlest ones were her delight. Mom was an excellent cook; large family dinners of up to 30 were the norm. Wintering in Arizona with friends and relatives made for some great stories when they returned in the Spring. Mom's travels took her to Norway to research her "roots". Returning home she spent many months compiling the information into a Family History book. Mom held a positive outlook on life, refused to give up or buckle under pressure and was as "tough as nails". She survived a liver transplant at 66 years of age, a heart valve replacement 2 years later and outlived 2 husbands. Predeceased by her parents, her husband Arthur, second husband Leslie Sanderson and her brother Richard. Mom is survived by her 4 children, Chuck (Marie) Hanson, Shelley (Bill) Gereluk, John Hanson and James (Tammy) Hanson, her grandchildren, Robert (Kate) Hanson, Gordon (Jill) Hanson, Richard (CarrieLynn) Gereluk, April (Jeremy) Shirran, Sherilyn (Brandon) Benbrook, Timothy, Shelley, Melissa and Jennifer Hanson and Sierra Shaw, great grandchildren, Alex, Jack, Summer, Lucas, Carter, Sydney, Ben, Ava, Clarissa, Shaylynn, Deegan, Daelin and Ashton. Also her brother Mel (Marg) Bacon of Victoria, sisters Shirley (Del) Christiansen of Victoria, Dhorea (Javier) Sanchez of La Paz Mexico and their families. The family thanks Dr. Baerg, the third floor nurses and the Home Support Team for their outstanding care. A Memorial will be held on Saturday, January 18, 2014 at 1:00 pm at Christian Life Fellowship at 445 Merecroft Road. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Campbell River Hospital Foundation.

Welcome to the driver’s seat
This hi new Q50 llooks k great, has a wonderful interior, power to spare and solid handling dynamics. Zack Spencer
Visit the Q50 photo gallery at DrivewayBC.ca
2014 Infiniti Q50 challenges the old order Infiniti has had a bit of an identity crisis over the past year with a wholesale change in the way it names its products. Gone is the JX crossover, it’s called the QX60 now and the G 37 sedan has been replaced with the Q50 sedan. Q signifies for cars and QX for crossovers or SUVs. The outgoing G37 was already a very worthy on-road performer but a bit too simplistic in the inside. Now, Infiniti has taken things up a notch with the Q50, adding a dynamic look, sumptuous interior and class leading technology. Looks It could be argued that the current BMW 3 Series and Mercedes C-Class are a bit conservative, while this Q50 and the major competitor, Lexus IS, are much edgier. This is especially true with the front grille. The rest of the Q50 is nicely sculpted, with flowing lines and an almost elegant rear end. Sold as a base model, sport trim, all wheel drive (AWD), premium, and even a hybrid, there is a broad market for this sedan. Starting at $37,500 and ramping up to the AWD sport model at $49,950, there is a substantial discount with the Q50 when you compare it to a similarly equipped BMW. The base model comes with 17-inch wheels but most of the higher trim levels are equipped with 19-inch wheels. The car seen here is the AWD premium model starting at $43,400. Inside The Q50 centre console is very attractive with two screens placed for radio functions and the second for the
navigation ($1,400 option) opt for the AWD model, and backup camera. The which is a good choice way the lower screen is due to the higher level incorporated is first rate; of interior amenities. it looks like a high quality In addition, the Q50 is iPad that sits flush with the first car to have a the dash, while the higher steer-by-wire system screen is recessed for easier that is customizable and use in bright light. this system is optional Direct Adaptive The only problem with on the AWD models and Steering has its this system is the time it standard on the sport takes to boot-up when critics but for me, the versions of the Q50. you start the car over 30 Direct Adaptive Steering Q50 feels like it is seconds to access the radio has its critics but for an extension of the and other features. Most me, the Q50 feels like driver. people will buy the sport it is an extension of the model ($47,495) or the driver, moving through Zack Spencer premium trim ($43,400) to corners with ease and get heated leather seats, comfort with just the Bose stereo, backup camera with slightest movement of the steering around view cameras, and power tilt wheel.

Verdict The benchmark in the premium compact sedan market has been the BMW 3 Series but the gap is narrowing. This new Q50 looks great, has a wonderful interior, power to spare and solid
handling dynamics. On price, the BMW 328i AWD is the closest and starts at $46,200 but is equipped with a 241hp 4-cylinder. The direct competitor on power is the much more expensive 335is AWD. The Lexus IS350 AWD is another premium offering from Japan, and it starts at a very competitive $44,000. As much as the Japanese automakers like to challenge the German makers, they really end up competing with each other. Yes, this is a worthy car but the one thing you cannot factor into the buying decision is the badge appeal that storied brands like Mercedes, BMW and Audi provide.

Safety Tip: When extreme winter road conditions hit, it’s a good idea to think about whether you even need to get behind the wheel. If you have the option, consider public transit or carpool with some who has a vehicle prepared for the conditions. Also consider leaving for work just a little later to allow crews to clear the roads.
