Lighting upgrade Increasing Hydro costs are prompting the city to upgrade the lighting at the Maritime Heritage Centre. The Maritime Heritage Society, on Dec. 20, asked the city to consider installing new energy efficient lighting in the heritage centre’s display gallery and Rotary Hall to control rising BC Hydro costs. Council agreed to do so as soon as external funding sources could be secured. City staff told council at its financial planning meeting Jan. 29 that the city could use grant money. “Typically BC Hydro and the Community Works Fund are the only sources for available external funding for this type of project,” Jason Decksheimer, the city’s asset management supervisor, wrote in a report to council. “Unfortunately approximately half of the fixtures being considered for replacement are subject to regulatory phase-out (high wattage incandescent) and therefore BC Hydro offers only limited incentives to undertake an upgrade.” Decksheimer said since BC Hydro could likely only provide $2,000 towards the lighting upgrades, the remainder of the $42,000 project could be funded under the Community Works Fund, which comes as a rebate from the Gas Tax. The fund has an ongoing budget of $100,000 for facility energy retrofits. Council agreed to undertake the project with $40,000 funded from the Community Works Fund Reserve and available BC Hydro funding.

In memorium donation provides comfort for loved ones some sleep when I was here,” DeBruyne said. “Susan (DeBruyne’s sister) slept here every night of the last three weeks.” Tricia was diagnosed
Kristen Douglas Campbell River Mirror
Cyriel DeBruyne and his sister, Susan Petersen, will never forget the times they spent at Campbell River Hospital, keeping a constant vigil over DeBruyne’s dying wife, Tricia. While the treatment and care they received from hospital staff was second to none, the times spent trying to catch some sleep were challenging. “It was uncomfortable,” said DeBruyne, recalling the small chair he and his sister slept in beside Tricia’s bed. DeBruyne hoped he could make others who would stay in the hospital after him more comfortable and so after Tricia passed, he wanted to do what he could to help make that happen. DeBruyne applied for his wife’s death tax benefit through the Canada Pension Plan. Instead of paying tax on the benefit, DeBruyne chose to donate the entire $2,500 amount to the Campbell River Hospital Foundation. With the money, the foundation recently purchased a Stryker reclining chair which folds out into a bed so family and friends visiting hospital patients have somewhere comfortable to sleep. The chair can be used as a sit-up chair, a fully reclined bed, or a bed with one piece propped up for the visitor’s head. The chair arrived at the hospital two weeks ago and it’s already been used. “I’m so glad to hear it’s already been used,” DeBruyne said. “It’s a neat thing. “Hopefully it will

tal. Her final check-in at the hospital was in April, 2013 – three months before she died. DeBruyne said he wants to help others who
may find themselves in the position he was in. “I think the main thing is to comfort people who want to stay with their loved ones.”
Three escape mobile home blaze
Three people were treated for smoke inhalation after a mobile home was destroyed by fire Feb. 7. “Three tenants were home asleep at the time of the fire and are extremely fortunate to have escaped as there was no working smoke alarm in the mobile home,” says Deputy Fire Chief Thomas Doherty. The fire occurred around 10:45 p.m. at 3120 Island Highway. When fire crews arrived, thick black smoke was pouring from the single-wide trailer. Kristen Douglas/the Mirror

The three occupants were transported by ambulance to Campbell River Hospital where they were treated for smoke inhalation and later released. The cause of the fire remains under investigation and does not appear to be suspicious. “This fire is a reminder of the importance of having a working smoke alarm in your home,” Doherty added. “Early detection and notification of fire is your best chance of survival in a situation such as this.”

“We’re told one of the tenants awoke to the sound of crackling coming from the kitchen area and, on investigation, he found heavy smoke throughout the mobile home, and fire spreading through the kitchen,” said Doherty in a news release. “The tenant quickly alerted the other two occupants and tried to extinguish the fire, but the flames were too intense.” Firefighters quickly doused the blaze and contained it from spreading to other nearby trailers.

Ecole des Deux Mondes makes sure no child left inside
T
he Ecole des Deux Mondes French Immersion Kindergarten teachers believe in the important role nature plays in the development of young children and are putting that belief into practice with successful results. Teacherse Barb Vachon and Desiree Dallaire feel fortunate to have a forested location on their school property and they take full advantage of it to give the children a unique and authentic educational experience. They value the time their students play in the school’s forest and see the experience as beneficial in numerous ways. Vachon noted the children have been visiting the forest since October and have had the opportunity to observe seasonal changes. To illustrate this, in the fall the students explored the fallen leaves and found many Western Maple seeds and now the students are finding the same seeds with tiny green sprouts growing out of them, Vachon said. This has been a cause for much excitement and a perfect way to teach French vocabulary for words to do with the forest, seeds, compost, seasonal changes, the weather, etc.

Ecole des Deux Mondes teachers are making use of the forest near the school to put into practice their belief that outdoor play is beneficial for children’s development.
Currently, Vachon and Dallaire bring their students to play and learn in the forest a couple of times a week. Having witnessed firsthand the learning opportunities the forest offers their students, both teachers intend to spend an hour a day in the forest, rain or shine come September 2014. Both Vachon and Dallaire gathered further inspiration for this idea from fellow teachers in School District 72 as well as from established nature Kindergarten programs from across Vancouver Island and beyond. There are many developmental benefits from spending time in nature which are backed up numerous research studies. Increasingly, children are spending too much time in front of screens and it seems like their
childhoods are being hijacked by technology. According to Richard Louv who is the author of the best selling book Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder, “If getting our kids out into nature is a search for perfection, or is one more chore, then the belief in perfection and the chore defeats the joy. It’s a good thing to learn more about nature in order to share this knowledge with children; it’s even better if the adult and child learn about nature together. And it’s a lot more fun.” Did you know that children who play in the forest are more likely to become adults who are environmentally aware and environmentally responsible? Deep learning takes place when children are touching trees, build-

ing forts, listening to animal calls, and leaving their toys behind to play imaginatively with sticks and stones. While playing in nature children are exposed to many areas of the Kindergarten curriculum including science, social responsibility, physical education, dramatic play and oral language. Young children learn best from direct experience and they understand the world through play. Providing children with a natural outdoor space they bring their playing and learning to a different level. At Ecole des Deux Mondes we are reserving time every day for our students to play outdoors in nature where they can run, explore, climb, find secret hiding places, dream up stories and just be children.

Willows: Can’t stay business as usual www.CampbellRiverMirror.com www.CampbellRiverMirror.com
Continued from Pg. 1
That hasn’t sat well with neighbours who don’t want to see their neighbourhood pub go. Several people wrote letters to council against the re-zoning while 73 residents and 11 nonresidents signed an online petition opposing the sale. But at last week’s public hearing into the re-zoning, seven people spoke in favour of allowing the re-zoning while two spoke against the proposal. Willows Pub employee Tracey Ordano tried to set the record straight that the pub will close whether the re-zoning, and subsequent sale, goes through or not and scuttling the re-zoning is only keeping hard-working people from retiring. “Some of you are here because you don’t want to lose the Cheers pub atmosphere that the Willows is so famous for, where everyone knows your name, what you like to drink, we know a little bit about you and we care about you,” Ordano said. “I am certain that there are customers here tonight who feel that by not supporting the OCP (official community plan) and stopping the sale of the pub that it will make a difference and stay business as usual. This is not the case and if you want us to stay business as usual then you
have to put your money where your mouth is and buy the Willows to remain the Willows.” Ordano also warned council that if the sale does not go through, the city will be left with an empty building which could quickly become a problem for the Rockland neighbourhood. “The building, unused, is a perfect, and I mean perfect, opportunity for taggers, long boarders and drug trafficking as it will sit empty,” Ordano added. “Imagine how nice that will look in no time. “This family (the Thulins) has contributed to the community in so many ways and who are you, we, us, Facebook and a misinformed petition to stand in the way of allowing these kind and giving Campbell Riverites from retiring.” Others who spoke, including Spirit Square co-ordinator Jim Creighton and former council candidate Sterling Campbell, also supported the Thulins and asked council to re-consider the official community plan, which designates the pub property for community use. Thulin, who noted that nearly 30 years ago there was a petition to keep the pub from opening, said it’s ironic that now there’s a petition circulating to keep the pub from
closing. She wondered why all those who are protesting have not come forward. “I apologize if this sounds crass but with all the daily flack this offer has generated, if so many people think it should remain a pub then why don’t they buy it,” Thulin said. Sus an B ennett, a nearby resident, said she hates to see the pub go but she doesn’t have the means to keep it going. “My wish is it would remain a pub and someone would come forward and purchase it, I’m not one that can do that,” said Bennett who added she also doesn’t want a derelict building in her neighbourhood. “I do have a concern of the building being left empty. So I guess my feelings are a bit conflicting.” City council will have the final say when the official community plan amendment comes up for third reading. The plan will first have to be amended before a re-zoning can be voted on by council. Staff told council at a meeting Jan. 21 that the entire process could take two to three months. If the sale does go through, Storey Creek Trading plans to renovate the Willows Pub so that the building will look similar to Beyond Beautiful Smiles in Willow Point.

Icy roads
Wet roads, freezing temperatures and fog combined to turn the intersection of 2nd Avenue and McPhedran Road into an ice sheet Tuesday morning leading to a domino-like chain of accidents. The first driver parked her car hours earlier after hitting ice and damaging the front end. Then, around 8:30 a.m., a pick-up truck lost control on the ice and smashed the driver’s side of the vehicle. And then another pickup, heading down 2nd towards Merecroft also lost control, but managed to avoid the other two vehicles. No one appeared to be seriously hurt. Firefighters salted the road by hand before a city public works vehicle arrived.

Regional district staff piling up overtime, unused vacation Kristen Douglas Campbell RiveR miRRoR
The Strathcona Regional District is chronically understaffed and staff are not able to meet core service requirements, they are missing out on their vacation time and are working significant overtime hours, a recent report reveals. The report from Chief Administrative Officer Russ Hotsenpiller recommends the regional district add two new staffing positions to help pick up the slack. The organization currently employs five senior managers. “Current staff levels are impacting productivity of the organization and the goals and direction of the regional board,” Hotsenpiller writes in his report. “If a core employee is sick for an extended period of time, or an employee
leaves the organization, work in that area stops. As such, the organization has limited alternatives and is operationally vulnerable. It is proposed that two new full-time equivalent positions be staffed in 2014.” Those positions are a full-time special projects co-ordinator to address what Hotsenpiller calls a “gap in expertise and capacity” at the policy development level. The $102,400 position would help support land use planning, corporate services, legal matters, recreation or finance on an as needed basis. The second position is a $83,200 full-time board services co-ordinator, a position working out of the chief administrative officer’s office to support elected directors and help the chief administrative officer with executive duties. Hot s e npi l l e r s ai d the two positions will
address the most pressing staff needs. Hotsenpiller acknowledged that staff are challenged to meet the daily work load, project work and the board’s strategic priorities and the work plan is consistently behind schedule. Hotsenpiller said staff often cannot take their allocated vacation days and the regional district is going to be faced with either a large payout or vacation entitlement too large to administer. Staff are also working significant amounts of overtime that is not paid. “The organization is currently understaffed at the corporate level and is unable to consistently meet core service deliverables,” Hotsenpiller said. “This situation is not new and is not the result of a sudden increase in work load, rather it is a chronic situation that is becoming more acute.” Hotsenpiller noted that
the regional district has been very conservative when it comes to staffing levels. “Staffing requests to the SRD board have historically been modest and there has been but a single new position added to the organization since 2009,” Hotsenpiller added. “The original organization chart adopted by the board in 2009 has not been filled. Central to the current workload situation is whether the SRD was adequately staffed initially or could have benefited from additional positions from the outset.” While financial statements from 2008, when the Strathcona Regional District was established, do not show how many employees the organization employed, it does reveal that no employees made more than $75,000 a year and the total combined salary of

all employees was $1.6 million. In 2012, the regional district paid seven employees a salary of more than $75,000 a year and paid out $2.81
million combined to employees which made less than $75,000 annually. The top earners were former Chief Administrative Officer Brian
R e ard on ( $ 1 3 6 , 3 0 0 annually), Dawn Christenson, financial services manager, ($104,361), and Russ Hotsenpiller, then the community services manager, ($101,232).

Our View
Lesser-known athletes deserve our support For most of the 200-plus athletes on the Canadian Olympic team, there are usually no fancy flights, five-star hotels or media scrums after practice. For these dedicated, shining examples of clean living and old-fashioned Canadian hard typically there are no interview We say: We’re all work, requests, agents, contracts or the glare in for the men’s of television cameras. These Sochi Olympics is their time hockey but don’t to shine, their payoff for years of forget the others early morning workouts in freezing conditions in relative obscurity. Think of the bobsledder and cross-country skier. The speed skater and the athlete who does that scary skeleton
thing. There is no Luge Night in Canada with its own theme song and TV audience of millions every Saturday night. So, when you want to diss the Olympics, when you want to yell about the colossal misuse of money or ridiculous Russian laws, try to think of that lonely cross-country skier, slogging day after day for years in the cold somewhere near Calgary or Williams Lake or Sherbrooke. This is their time to shine. Generally speaking, they are not looking for fat contracts or endorsement deals, although the latter can help them get through the next four years without as many cash calls to the parents. They are true to their sport, their country and themselves. More than any time in the past,
Canadian athletes are getting better financial support from both government and corporations. We applaud that, and when we look at some of the places where our tax dollars land, supporting young people in healthy pursuits seems like one of the better ones. While they get the biggest headlines, our men’s hockey team really shouldn’t be the focus of these Olympics (we will be watching every minute of every game, no point fibbing). But it’s hockey, and that shifts the balance of logic in this country, fair enough. Today we are urging Canadians to support these lesserknown young athletes, during these Games and between Olympic years. – Black Press
Letters
Found editorial astounding
I found it astounding to read the Jan. 31 editorial in the Mirror: “Lots of Politics in judge’s ruling on class size.” There were certainly a lot of politics at the bargaining table when teachers were attempting to negotiate a collective agreement. The unidentified Black Press writers state that there is nothing that offers any proof in the ruling “other than a suggestion that cabinet documents back up the assertion” that the government’s strategy was to provoke a strike by the BCTF and that they were not bargaining in good faith. Are the editorial writers questioning the Supreme Court judge’s credibility? Do they think the judge just pulled this ruling out of thin air? The findings of fact in the decision aren’t going to change. Both parties agreed to most of the facts prior to the case commencing, which the judge commended them for. In addition to the cabinet documents, the evidence given in court by Paul Straszak and James Gorman also speak to what was happening behind the scenes with cabinet’s blessing, i.e. that the government was trying to force teachers to go on strike to win political support for legislation, and that they were trying to drive a wedge between the BCTF and its own members. The most telling evidence that the government acted

Prescription pot pretense ends on April Fools Day
Tom Fletcher B.C. Views
On April 1, medical marijuana growing licences expire across the country, and only licensed commercial growers will be able to legally fill a prescription for pot. Ottawa is moving to clean up the mess it created by issuing medical licences all over the country. Since then, municipalities have complained that smallscale medical licences have been greatly exceeded, with many used as fronts for a criminal drug trade that has made B.C. infamous around the world. How big is the problem? There are about 38,000 Canadians licensed to carry marijuana for medical purposes, and half of them live in B.C. Their permission to grow their own or buy it from designated small-scale growers is withdrawn in a couple of months.
Here’s a look at the community level. Police in the Fraser Valley suburb of Maple Ridge estimate that it alone has 500 properties licensed to grow pot. No, Maple Ridge is not a world hotspot for glaucoma or arthritis. It is historically known for its secluded properties and as a base for B.C.’s prison system and the province’s Hells Angels. Police have only an estimate because Ottawa’s bungled medical pot scheme conceals the location of licensed growers from provincial and local governments. RCMP Insp. Dave Fleugel told Maple Ridge council last week that his detachment will first target medical growers they know are linked to organized crime. But it’s difficult to determine which are legal and which are not.
“This has the potential to cripple the courts,” Fleugel said. “Something is going to have to take a back seat if we are going to go after all of them.” The police and fire department have proposed an amnesty or grace period, allowing people to disclose their location and have it properly dismantled without penalty, to help deal with the volume. This mess was created by Ottawa in response to a court ruling that forced them to make medical pot available. The Harper government remains trapped in a failed war-on-drugs mentality that prevents any innovation or even common sense. Then there is the circus in Vancouver, where self-styled princes of pot exploit the confusion of the medical marijuana law to run an Amsterdam-style
retail trade. Cannabis Culture, the pot and propaganda empire built by Marc Emery before he was jailed in the U.S., rants about the government’s “war on patients,” amid garish ads for “pot by post” and exotic weed varieties. “By Health Canada’s own estimate, the cost will increase from $5 per gram to $8.80 per gram – going up by nearly 400 per cent,” its website warns. Apparently smoking lots of weed really is bad for your math skills. Dana Larsen, who spearheaded the illconceived and failed decriminalization petition last year, heads up the seriouslooking “Medical Cannabis Dispensary.” Fittingly, this farce goes back underground on April Fool’s Day. Medical users can only order shipments from an approved commercial producer.

Teachers: How can you trust a government that fabricates evidence? Continued from Pg. 8
illegally and immorally is the fact that they have refused to release the cabinet documents. They do not want the public to know the extent of their culpability. The media is able to and should be pushing for the release of those documents so they can see for themselves what was shared in open court. There is also a misleading statement that the class size and composition provisions were inserted in a “contract imposed by the former NDP government on school boards.” It is far more complicated than that. Almost all of the class size/composi-
tion and staffing ratio language was negotiated directly between locals and their school boards between 1988 and 1993. In 1998, a deal was negotiated between the BCTF and the NDP government, which included provincial K-3 class size language. In exchange for that language teachers took 0%, 0%, and 2%. BCPSEA, at the behest of school boards, wouldn’t ratify that deal at the time, so the NDP government imposed it in legislation. But a couple years later, BCPSEA and the BCTF agreed to roll it into the collective agreement. So teachers bought that class size language

by giving up reasonable salary increases, which is still affecting our salaries and pensions to this day. But the worst part is that after giving up salary increases to get those class sizes, they were illegally stripped from our contracts, along with our local language. Another misleading part of the editorial states that some classes were split in two which benefited teachers but had a questionable impact on students. Imagine the extra one-on-one attention that students got in those smaller classes. One-on-one time with teachers is one of the strongest influences on
student outcomes. And in the original court case in 2011, it was discovered that in order to make their case about the detrimental effect of class size guidelines, some of the government testimony included imaginary scenarios in schools that did not even exist. That too is in the court records. How can anyone trust a government that would fabricate evidence to win their case, or one that truly puts politics ahead of the interests of students?

Minister outlines aquaculture vision Aquaculture is the fastest growing food production sector worldwide, now supplying over 50 percent of the global demand for fish and seafood. In Canada, aquaculture is worth over $2 billion annually and employs more than 14,000 Canadians. With the global demand for seafood expected to increase by 7% every year, it’s clear that aquaculture has great economic potential. Our Government supports aquaculture development that is both economically sound and environmentally responsible. Canada has a transparent regulatory system – one of the most rigorous in the world – to ensure that the industry is ecologically sustainable and protects our marine resources. In 2011, our Government made the decision not to allow expansion of aquaculture production until the Cohen Commission had reported its findings. What we are doing now is absolutely consistent with Justice Cohen’s recommendations on aquaculture: we are maintaining the moratorium on new developments in the Discovery Islands
area, and are further investing in science. Economic Action Plan 2013 included three major measures that directly respond to Justice Cohen’s recommendations. Our Government committed $54 million that will help bolster our environmental protection in the aquaculture sector through science, an enhanced regulatory regime, and improved reporting. We also introduced a new program to support recreational fisheries conservation activities through partnerships with community groups. Twentyeight projects related to Pacific salmon in B.C., totalling $1.8 million, were approved in the first round of the program. In addition, we are dedicating all revenue collected from the Salmon Conservation Stamp to the Pacific Salmon Foundation, which will mean approximately $1 million more every year to support the Foundation’s great work. All of these initiatives are in addition to our Government’s annual investContinued on Pg. 12

What is a herniated disc and how can Spinal Decompression help me?
Choose a professional groomer you are comfortable with, and chat with them about setting up an appointment for a new baby puppy. This may involve just leaving the puppy for a very short time with the groomer at a prearranged time where the pup can hang out and watch/listen to the atmosphere. This is typically towards the end of the day when it is hopefully Cathy Merrithew not as hectic or noisy. The next visit may include a bath only, maybe a nail trim and face tidy, focusing on the puppy having a nice pleasant experience without too much fussing about a fancy trim. The puppy will find out about being handled by someone other than the owner, she’ll learn it’s OK to be away from the owner for a short time, her feet will be handled, and the coat brushed and combed. If you’ve chosen the right groomer, they should take their time, and reward the puppy with tiny treats for good behavior. You can also easily condition your pup to having their face and feet handled by you and even your friends when they visit, by touching then rewarding with a tasty treat. This type of “bomb-proofing” your pup can be started as soon as you welcome her into your family. Please don’t wait until your puppy turns into a matted mess before you hand them over to the professionals... a kind groomer would insist on the puppy being clipped right down, avoiding potential pain from pulling on the hair and trying to make her first grooming appointment a pleasant time.
Herniated discs are often the result of protruding discs. This is when a tear takes place in the outer ring of the disc allowing the soft nucleus of the disc to bulge out. Inflammation may result in the area as well as pain and swelling.

My kids are enrolled in a French Immersion School and I am concerned about their ability to read in English. What can I do?
Spinal Decompression may reduce the intradiscal pressure causing the disc to retract the herniation and bring blood flow and nutrients back into the disc. If you think you may have a spinal herniation call Dr. Janis Guthy DC at 250-287-3113 www.decompressionlasercenter.com. Results may vary.

Most French Immersion programs don’t start English until Grade 4 in order to allow students to build the basics in French. It is a wonderful idea to give them some time with a certified teacher to work on English in addition to their regular schooling. We have several students who attend for one hour a week to support their reading in English. It is a great idea to be proactive with your kids and help them become fluent in both languages. We also offer week long summer programs that are a good fit for French Immersion students.
I want to prevent your annual gardening aches and pains. A few simple pointers will help you build strength and avert dangerous positions that cause injuries. The most important component DEREK VINGE Chiropractor is to have correct posture. It is best to keep your back in a strong “neutral” position to take loads off the muscles and tendons. The low-back should have a small reverse curve during lifting motions. Also, try to keep moving; don’t hold positions for long periods of time. This will cause muscles and tendons to become weak and inactive. If you have any questions or would like your aches and pains assessed, please visit Derek at CBI.

It’s HEART month!
Nothing worse than coming home and finding out your beloved kitty has soiled the carpet and the litter box is untouched? These are common complaints I hear every day.There are several disorders that can be responsible for a cat not using their litter box. Bacterial bladder infection, or bacterial cystitis, is common in cats. Because the infection causes inflammation of the bladder, a cat with this medical problem feels a constant urgency to urinate. This urgency may become so strong that they urinate small amounts frequently, often before they can reach the litter box. What about when there is no bacterial infection? Feline lower Dr. Peter Woodward urinary tract disease (FLUTD) is a common condition in cats. It has many of the same signs as bacterial cystitis. In most cases, no cause for the condition can be determined. Stress, multiple cats in the household and eating certain foods can cause this condition. It’s more common in male cats, who may develop an obstruction of their urinary tract that makes it impossible for them to urinate. This is a medical emergency that needs immediate veterinary care. Diagnosis of FLUTD is made by ruling out the other causes of cystitis that can only be determined by your veterinarian. The signs may resolve on their own within a week without treatment, but they’re likely to recur.These re-occurrences of inappropriate urination hurt our human animal bond. Treatment may involve many different strategies. One treatment, environmental enrichment, may decrease the rate of recurrence by 80%. Enrichment involves making various changes in your cat’s life to provide him or her with ample mental stimulation. This can make them more likely to use their litter box. Giving your cat more toys, increasing their access to windows and glass doors so they can see outside, and spending more time petting and playing with them may be helpful. In addition, you may need to increase the number of litter boxes in your home.There should be one litter box per cat, plus an additional box. If your cat is having the occasional urinary accident, please contact your family veterinarian to discuss this issue before a medical emergency occurs.
Here are some ways to keep your heart healthy and stay fit: • Eat sensibly. Consult the Canada’s Food Guide to Healthy Eating for what is appropriate for you, the dash diet also helps to lower high blood pressure. Talk to your nutritionist or Victor Choo pharmacist about it. Pharmacist/Owner • Exercise regularly. It just doesn’t help to prevent and control risk factors for hypertension and stroke; but also helps to reduce stress and increase your energy. • If you drink alcohol, drink in moderation. • Quit smoking. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about possible options that are available to help you quit. Come visit your Peoples Pharmacy today and talk to your pharmacist about how you can keep your heart healthy.

Many naturopathic physicians in BC have prescribing rights as of Ingrid Pincott ND August 2010 and they can Dr.Naturopathic Physician prescribe estrogen and progesterone bio-identical hormones. Saliva testing is used to measure estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, testosterone and DHEA. Serum blood tests are used to assess thyroid and liver function. Naturopathic Physicians have a very balanced approach using nutrition, herbal medicine and bio-identical hormones to deal with hormone balance in both men and women.

Yes and no.Tax Free Savings Accounts (TFSAs) have a maximum contribution amount, allow funds to grow tax sheltered, and have lots of rules you (and your financial advisor) need to be aware of. That said the actual investment can take many forms. Darlene Garat You can opt for a savings account Financial Advisor or GIC, which although pay very little in interest and may be locked in, are ultra-safe place to “park”. You can invest in low to moderate risk mutual funds to capture a little more growth. You can use this as the growth center of your overall portfolio– concentrating your higher risk investments within your TFSA. TFSAs can be also be held within a segregated fund contract, where risk is buffeted with guarantees that are unique to these contracts. The latter is a comfortable place to grow your TFSA with many investment options and potential for growth and added security.

You need a permit whenever you make a structural change. This isn’t always black & white. If you’re unsure, call your municipality and find out! While closing in a carport or building an addition seem like obvious reasons to get a permit, making some changes to the plumbing or making a window bigger may not.

Not having permits could possibly void your insurance, result in fines from the municipality and even lead to a charge registered on your title. If you are thinking of purchasing a property with missing permits, it would be prudent to seek legal advice before proceeding. However, I would like to note that these things do happen and can be corrected. A house isn’t automatically unsaleable if it’s missing a permit, but it could end up costing you a lot of money if the proper steps aren’t taken.

ments related to Pacific salmon. Currently we invest more than $65 million per year, of which about $20 million is directly related to Fraser River sockeye. Let’s keep in mind that after the very low returns in 2009, more than 30 million sockeye returned to the Fraser River in 2010—the most in almost a century. In 2013, the sockeye runs were above average and 26 million pink salmon returned, more than double what was
expected. Other rivers saw similarly encouraging results. Our government has recently decided to resume the review of applications for new aquaculture sites and amendments to existing sites in British Columbia, outside of the Discovery Islands area. I want to stress, however, that all applications that are received will continue to be carefully evaluated through the lens of environmental sustainability. Our government is committed to protecting
You think that this government we have is doing things for your best interests? Well think again, not unless you are one of the few big business owners in B.C. Perfect example of this is what they are allowing the two owners of Park Place do to the people at New Horizons. Not only taking basic human rights away like the right to earn a decent living, but also the right to have union representation. In reality we would not need these unions if employers weren’t so ruthless and greedy and we had governments that were fare to all. How can the government allow a few people disrupt so many other people’s lives for the sake of profit,

A few months later, Merry Christmas here is your layoff notices.

ounting – not just watching – birds, goes the extra mile by helping scientists gather information to improve bird conservation. Perhaps it’s time to learn what to call those streaky brown birds with red caps, and which woodpecker species is which. This weekend presents that opportunity during winter’s most popular cyber bird blitz. So hang up a suet cake, dispense some birdseed and refill birdbaths in preparation for this year’s Great Backyard Bird Count from Friday through Monday (Feb. 14-17). Almost 100 different bird species over-winter here, a fact well-known by feather fanatics. Last year’s GBBC results tallied up 97 species in the Comox-Strathcona area (which includes Campbell River). Grab the binoculars and get out there, to shorelines, riversides, parks, balconies – or just the backyard, to do some significant birdcounting. This casual little event

Financial recovery from divorce Approximately one in three marriages ends in divorce. Divorce proceedings typically include a range of legal issues – from the right to a division of family property and pension benefits to spousal and child support requirements – so the advice of a lawyer is always needed. But there are certain financial recovery steps that should be taken in almost any divorce. Finances • Close joint accounts and open individual accounts. • Cancel joint credit cards and any automatic payments made on behalf of the former spouse. • Develop a new, individual financial plan – including a personal budget and retirement plan. • Transfer/assume joint assets – such as responsibility for mortgage payments and entitlements from non-registered accounts. Family law • With your lawyer, establish your right to a division of family property, pension benefits, spousal support and child support (as applicable). • Obtain a release from your ex-spouse’s financial liabilities. • Decide who will continue contributing to
your children’s investments in Registered Education Savings Plans (RESP) and who will retain control over the RESP.
4x10
Taxes • Notify government agencies (CRA and RRQ in Québec) about your change in marital status for the Canada Child Tax Credit and other credits. • Remove the ‘spousal’ designation on any spousal Registered Retirement Savings Plans or Registered Retirement Income Funds. • Assess the tax liabilities when negotiating the division of property and ask about any strategies – such as the principal residence exemption – that may reduce the resulting tax burden. • Investigate the tax credits/deduction that may be available for spousal support, child support/child care expenses and other fees/expenses/payments.
Investors
Insurance Review your life, medical, disability, critical illness, long-term care, mortgage and other insurance coverage (including house, car and liability) and make
any changes as required. Estate planning • Change beneficiaries for registered accounts, life insurance policies and any registered pension plans. • Review your will, living will, health care directives and Powers of Attorney. Divorce is a difficult and emotional experience – a time when it can be very difficult to make the right decisions. An ‘outside’ voice can be a big help. Your professional and legal advisors can be the team you need to keep your financial recovery on the right track.

Get outside and paint Do you yearn to paint in the great outdoors? Professional artists Glenn Clark and Peter Corbett, who have an upcoming exhibition at the Campbell River Art Gallery, will be teaching a weekend workshop March 8 and 9 focusing on painting outside. Learn the best professional ‘plein air’ techniques in this stimulating workshop. Plein air means outside, and for many artists, working outside is enticing, but daunting too. The workshop will take place both in and out of doors and will give artists all the information necessary to paint outside. The course
will focus on equipment and supplies as well as the key elements of composition to create effective and interesting work. Clark and Corbett will also feature handson planning and decision-making, preparing attendees for the outdoor component of the workshop as participants face the challenges of working on location. En Plein Air (in the open air) with Glenn Clark and Peter Corbett runs Saturday, March 8 and Sunday, March 9 from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. each day. The cost is $295 plus GST for CR Art Gallery members and $305 plus GST for
non-members. Clark and Corbett’s exhibition, Abandoning Paradise, sponsored by Mothership Adventures, will be at the CR Art Gallery’s Discovery Gallery from March 6 to April 18, and will feature small paintings documenting the wild area proposed A section of Glenn Clark’s After the Storm, Antlers Beach. for the Northern Gateway Pipeline Project. The two artists will be in Campbell River for the exhibition opening and the Gallery is delighted that they will be able to offer this exciting workshop. Call 250-287-2261 or email programs@crartgallery.ca for information and registration. English

Jesse cooks up something old, something new on his Blue Guitar tour Multi award winning and platinum record selling guitarist Jesse Cook returns to Vancouver Island with the Blue Guitar Tour in March 2014. Another highly successful album released last year, The Blue Guitar is Cook’s eighth studio album. The album is a departure from anything resembling flamenco. Instead, Cook has produced a captivating album with a sound that allows listeners to appreciate each musician`s contribution. The live show will include songs from his more familiar work… flamenco rumba, jazz, and many forms of world music as well as material from the new album. Joining Cook on stage are the musicians that have become as familiar to fans as Cook himself: Chris Church, Rosendo

Senior exchange students selected The Campbell River Tw i n n i n g S o c i e t y announced that Maeve Milligan and Vanessa Mae Harrison will be the 101st and 102nd Senior Exchange Students between Campbell River and our Sister City of Ishikari, Japan. Milligan and Harrision will now begin Japanese language lessons and courses on Japanese culture to prepare for a full high school year in Ishikari from next September 2014 through to the end of July 2015. One measure of the success of the Twinning program between Campbell River and Ishikari is the number of students that have left their homes and schools to live in the twin city for a year. This has created many lasting ties between families in the two cities. Each year two Campbell River students (Grades 9 to 11) are selected to live in Ishikari and attend school. The selection takes place annually in the late fall. After screening, interviews, reference checks and final public speaking events, the final students are selected in December and immediately begin preparation and language lessons that continue until their departure for Japan the following August. At that time one or two students from the two high schools in Ishikari arrive here. Over the year the students live with six or seven families for about seven weeks each. A great deal of community involvement is needed for this to work and both cities are proud of their success. The Campbell River Twinning Society has been recognized as one of the most successful Canada Japan Student Exchange Programs in Western Canada and Hokkaido, Japan. It has seen over 850 Senior Exchange and Young Ambassador students travel between our two cities over the past 30 years. Currently the 100th Senior Exchange student, Shawn Wilson is in Ishikari and having the experience of a lifetime. To follow Shawn’s adventures visit w w w.faceb o ok.com/ TwinningCR. Last year it was Daniel Henry that was the Campbell River student in Japan. Daniel says “It was an amazing opportunity and I learned so much about other cultures and myself. I would highly recommend this to any student.”

Altrusa Club of Campbell River helping to keep smiles healthy The Campbell River Altrusa Club has a mission – to care for its community, its children and its needs. The club supports a variety of causes throughout the Campbell River area and most recently helped the Campbell River Hospital Foundation with a donation towards dental equipment for the Operating Room. This is a self-contained portable system from
drills to suction that is used for dental restoration; this equipment is used on both children and adults in the Campbell River Hospital Operating Room. Each month, there are two full days dedicated to dental restoration and filings to meet the oral needs of children. Dentistry using general anesthesia is most often used for children with severe anxiety that have an inability to cooperate
due to their age, compromised health, special needs or extensive dental needs. The Campbell River Altrusa Club raises funds in a variety of different ways. Their beautiful evergreen floral swags with handcrafted bows have become a Christmas time favourite, woven Afghans depicting scenes from around our community and their Annual Movie Night at the Tidemark Theatre.

Whiteman, Cali L. September 30, 1957-January 30, 2014 Cali L. Whiteman has won her battle against illness and pain; she passed away very peacefully holding her husband's hand. Cali was born September 30, 1957 and passed away Jan 30, 2014. She will be sadly missed by her family and friends. She leaves behind her dedicated husband, Steve Whiteman, three sons: Jamie Clark, Darcy Clark & (Marilyn), Bill Clark & (Kristen) and their families, her brother, Danny Vann, his wife (Deanna); sisters, Bobie Rutter (Rob) and Coleen Westerbury (Lyle), grandchildren that she cherished; Tylar, Jayda, Haiden, Nathan, Nolan, Hannah, and David, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents, Doris and Jim Vann. Cali was a great chef who spent most of her career creating many decadent morsels. What brought a smile to Cali's face was her witty husband, spending time with him fishing and camping, her children and grandchildren, neighbours she called friends, her friends on long phone calls, her flowers in the garden and her many pets dogs, birds, cats, fish and the lizard. Cali was a warm and friendly women with a passion for living life as she wished. We will sadly miss her. As per Cali's wishes, there will be no funeral. Donations in Cali's name may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.
September 20, 1937 February 1, 2014 In loving memory of Carole Anne Martin (nee Cossar). Mom left us too early and too suddenly. She was a beautiful lady who lived for her family. Mom was an animal lover and took great pleasure in watching ‘her’ little birdies at the backyard feeder as well as the deer and assorted wildlife who graced her backyard regularly. As an active Avon lady, Mom was well known to many. She loved being involved and cherished her ‘people’ dearly. It was not unusual to get a hug with your order! She was never one to sit with hands still either. If she wasn’t knitting or crocheting hats and blankets for various charities, she was making jewelry for family and friends with her sparkly beads! A true crafter at heart. Mom was truly a young spirit. She loved sparkles, rainbows, twinkly lights and decorating. Too many lights? NEVER!! Each spring she looked forward to getting all her outdoor lights set up in her other love, her garden. Spring was her favorite time of year...the time her flower babies would come back to life and grant her the riot of colour she loved so dearly. This spring will be a tough one for us. Carole is survived by her loving husband, Brian; her daughter Roberta Lacroix (nee Fredrickson) and her son David Fredrickson, grandson Damian Stevenson, sister Roberta Pritchard (Robert), her niece Cara Koehler (nee Pritchard) (Darren) and nephew Bruce Pritchard (Katy). According to her wishes, a Celebration of Life will be held at their home on March 8th.

He is survived by his wife of 65 years, Anna Mary Guidi (nee Reiter), his son David Guidi, his grandchildren Jason Guidi and Angela Guidi, numerous nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. Lou was born in Filicaia-Lucca, Italy. He worked as a draftsman for Boeing Aircraft during World War II and then in the automotive industry, sales and management all of his life. In his leisure time his passions were fishing and golfing and he had numerous fishing trips with his grandchildren on rivers and streams. In life he was soft-spoken and generous with a gentle manner. He adored his grandchildren and his nephews and nieces. He will be dearly missed.

Bantam Tyees to host semi-final after sweeping round-robin 30 | CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR | WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 2014
Campbell River’s bantam Tyees will battle Juan de Fuca in onegame semi-final with the winner advancing to the Island Tier 2 rep hockey championship. The two clubs are evenly matched. In November, the teams
squared off twice in league play with Juan de Fuca winning the first game 4-3. Two weeks later the clubs played to a 1-1 draw. Campbell River will host the semi-final game at Rod Brind’Amour Arena. Date and time to
be announced. On Saturday, the Booster Juice Bantam A Tyees made a cleansweep of the North Island playoff roundrobin with a 3-2 win over Power River Kings. The victory gave the Tyees a perfect 3-0 record in the
round-robin. Drew Price was in the Tyees’ line-up due to Nic Ordano’s injury. Price was immediately thrust into the thick of things as the Kings were flying at the start, putting pressure on the Tyees with their physical play.
www.CampbellRiverMirror.com
On the first shift of the game, a Powell River forward made a nifty pass across the crease to an open winger who roofed the first shot on net up under the cross-bar. Tyees’ goalie Dominik Bellefleur had no chance on the play and was soon
called upon to make an outstanding save, slamming the pads together to close the five hole and to keep it a one-goal game. T h e n , t h e Ty e e s defence started to give the Kings’ forecheckers a taste of their own TELUS STORE OR AUTHORIZED DEALER

medicine. Liam Rivett, Price, Br yce Turko, Olivia Knowles, Seth Parker and Doug Campbell made it clear to the Kings that they were not intimidated by the physical play and were able to dish it out too. The intensity of the game remained high, but Campbell River was able to get on the scoreboard, going into the break for the ice clean down 1-0. When play resumed, the Tyees’ offence got on track. Tyler Dickson head-manned the puck to Lukas Lund who got past a forward in the neutral zone and then fired a low, hard wristshot just as he crossed the blue line that beat the Kings goalie. At the next face-off, the Tyees executed a classic dump-and-chase play. Dickson sent the puck around the boards to Will McLean who fed it back to Lund just behind the Kings’ net. Lund pulled it out quickly tucked it into the short side making it 2-1 for the Tyees. In the third period, the Tyees kept their feet moving and were rewarded again on the forecheck as Rennie worked the puck to Matthew Leard and he passed it along to Jaxon Ward. Ward went on a bit of a skate out of the corner then spun and put a low hard shot on goal from the top of the slot that eluded the Kings goalie for a 3-1 lead. The Tyees pressed for another goal, but the Kings countered with one of their own to narrow the score to 3-2. Typically it seems that “the next goal wins” in this type of game so the Tyees regained their focus on defence and kept the Kings from making three consecutive passes. With the Kings net empty for the extra attacker, the Tyees did try to turn on the red light, but only earned a couple of face-offs in their defensive zone. The horn went and the 3-2 final result meant the Tyees swept the round-robin with three wins and first place in the North. Head coach Scott Kratzmann liked what he saw at this game. “We’re very proud of the way the players are rallying around and covering each other,” he said. “This group doesn’t really know yet how good they could be as long as they maintain their confidence and work together. It’s quite exciting to see how far they’ve come this season!”
