36 laid off at Quinsam mine

Decline in demand and prices for thermal coal cited by company as the reason Paul Rudan Campbell RiveR miRRoR

Robin Bell and Larry Stefanyk pose for a picture at the western-themed Pacific Salmon Foundation Dinner and Auction on Saturday at the Eagles Hall. The annual event raises funds for salmon enhancement.

Quinsam Coal has permanently laid off 36 workers due to weaker demand and lower prices for thermal coal. “It’s certainly a very difficult decision and a very difficult time,” said Gary Gould, vice-president of Hillsborough Resources. Quinsam is the only underground coal mine in British Columbia and the only underground thermalcoal mine in Canada. The mine is located about 20 kilometres west of Campbell River, just off Highway 28, and has operated for more than two decades. Quinsam produces thermal

MP John Duncan’s Ottawa office just before the federal government finally announced it would support “Lindsey’s Law.” “I was absolutely delighted. I took a strong personal advocacy stance on this issue,” the veteran North Island MP said Wednesday. Tuesday was budget day in Parliament. Included in the promises was

$8.1 million to support a new DNA databank for missing persons and deceased victims. Once deemed “too expensive” by the Conservative government, Duncan lobbied cabinet ministers to support the legislation which is due to come into a effect in 2016. The MP though is hopeful the DNA legislation for missing persons could be

implemented by 2015. But the money is just a “drop in the bucket” as the Conservatives continued to reel-in spending as it moves towards a balanced budget beginning in 2015. “It’s prudent fiscal management,” said Duncan during a phone interview. Continued on Pg. 3

coal which is used to power the furnaces at concrete and electrical-generating plants. It sells most of its coal domestically and to Japan. But in the last two years, said Gould, demand has dropped off along with prices. As a result the 36 workers were laidoff Feb. 3, leaving the mine with 110 employees. In spite of the setback, Gould said the company is closely monitoring markets and will be ready when demand and prices pick up. The company will also continue looking for more coal reserves. “We will continue to focus on increasing our permitted reserves on the mine site. Those efforts will continue,” he said.

Duncan: Mineral tax credit extended

Continued from Pg. 1

For the North Island, there were a few items in the budget which should benefit the riding. The first is the extension of the Mineral Exploration Tax Credit. Last year, new aerial mapping of the North Island was conducted and the information released to the public. The maps offer a huge amount of new data to prospectors who are expected to spend millions scouting out mineral deposits and potential new mines. “I considered that (tax credit) one of my babies,” said Duncan. Another continued program is the Recreational Fisheries Conservation Partnerships Program. Campbell

John Duncan

River benefited from the first $10-million when funding was granted for new spawning beds in the river. Now, the program has been bumped up to $25 million. Duncan said B.C. was granted about $2.5 million from the first fund and is hopeful one-quarter will be designated from the new funding.

“This is a very good way to leverage resources because we’re partnering with volunteers,” he said. The federal government will also offer a $450 tax credit to search and rescue volunteers. This was done, said Duncan, to match the tax credit which volunteer firefighters receive. “I think we’re recognizing their contribution,” he said, but added that Ottawa won’t support much-needed equipment purchases because, “it’s a provincial responsibility…there would be no end if we stepped in.” The feds will also spend $305-million over the next five years to improve broadband internet service in rural and remote areas. In this riding, Duncan

said areas include some remote West Coast communities and around Forbidden Plateau in the Comox Valley. The Campbell River Chamber of Commerce also applauded the Conservative’s thrifty budget. “We’re pleased to see a prudent, fiscally-conservative budget that nonetheless supports two key priorities of the chamber: skills development and infrastructure,” said Colleen Evans, chamber president and CEO, in a news release. “We would, however, urge the government to continue to work hard to ensure the Canada Jobs Grant is palatable to businesses and the provinces, so that it achieves its goal of triggering new investment in training.”

Regional district bumps Immigrant Welcome Centre may have to up residents’ tax bill Kristen Douglas CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Residential taxpayers will likely see a slight tax increase from the Strathcona Regional District when they get their tax bill in June. While the regional district’s board of directors has yet to finalize its 2014 budget, preliminary figures have the tax rate at 0.0608 per $1,000 of a home’s assessed value, up from 0.0598 in 2013. Directors at Wednesday’s board meeting added some additional items to the budget, including two new staff positions recommended by the regional district’s chief administrative officer. The full-time positions are a special projects co-ordinator ($102,400 per year) and a board services co-ordinator ($83,200), designed to help bolster regional district staffing levels. The funding for the two positions is spread out throughout

several different departments’ budgets for 2014. “The home for this position would be the general administration function but as work is performed, the functions that use the service will be charged as we go,” said Dawn Christenson, the regional district’s finance manager. “We looked at projects that individual may do and it is charged within those budgets but it would only be charged as the work was performed.” Directors also approved a $350,000 refund from the capital works reserves for Area D parks. Tom Yates, corporate services manager for the regional district, said the rebate would likely be credited against the requisition for those in Area D who contribute to the area’s parks. Brenda Leigh, director for Area D, thanked her fellow directors for approving a bylaw amendment to permit the rebate, but questioned why her constituents

are paying so much for fire services this year. Russ Hotsenpiller, regional district chief administrative officer, said the $49,820 (paid by Campbell River and Area D) is the result of Campbell River council’s decision to purchase a new ladder truck for the Campbell River fire department. Coun. and Director Claire Moglove said the pricey truck was necessary in order for the city to retain its fire rating. If the rating were to slide, fire insurance prices would go up in the city. “The ladder truck is roughly $1 million and the lifespan is 20 years,” Moglove said. “If you don’t replace it, you lose your rating. The fact is our fire truck is in its nineteenth or twentieth year and it needs to be replaced so we don’t lose our rating.” The board also approved a $6,444 increase for Area D transit to come from the prior year surplus.

The Immigrant Welcome Centre is concerned about the number of new Canadians and immigrants it will no longer be able to help due to impending funding changes. Rachel Blaney, executive director of the Immigrant Welcome Centre, said, because the centre’s funding will no longer be coming from the province, but from the federal government instead, the rules are changing as of April 1. “We won’t be able to serve naturalized citizens any longer,” Blaney told the regional district board at its Wednesday meeting. That means those who were born outside of Canada but who are living in Campbell River and are now Canadian citizens will not be eligible to receive services from the Immigrant Welcome Centre. “It’s too bad because I see people in our community who have done well, worked hard, have

families and we can’t assist them anymore,” Blaney said. Blaney said that’s unfortunate because while they are past the obstacles of obtaining their Canadian citizenship many may still have trouble with the language barrier or even adjusting to Canadian culture. Blaney said as an example, a man from England recently visited the centre asking for help in finding a baby-sitter. In England, people simply posted ads in the local bars. She said often new citizens also need help with paperwork, health care forms, and retirement papers. But under the new regulations, that help may be harder to find. And it’s not just naturalized citizens who are no longer eligible for assistance from the Immigrant Welcome Centre. Refugee claimants and provincial nominees – those whom the province has nominated for citizenship but Citizenship and Immigration Canada

has not confirmed – will also be affected. To put the impact of the changes into perspective, Blaney said in the six months between April and September of last year, the Immigrant Welcome Centre served 149 clients who will no longer be eligible for services. Blaney said a group of naturalized citizens has come together to support one another through the transition. “This includes fundraising, talking to local government (and) finding alternate supports for services,” Blaney said. “I am amazed by the work.” Blaney also encouraged the regional district to help immigrants where it can when it comes to language and cultural barriers. The Immigrant Welcome Centre last year served close to 1,000 people living on the North Island, from 60 different countries. The organization was founded in 1992 to help immigrants integrate and settle into Canada.

Recent rainfall is a small blessing for Campbell River system

Still concern for emerging salmon fry due to dry conditions Paul Rudan

Campbell RiveR miRRoR

Just as the bad news arrived about near record-low water levels, along came a couple soueasters. This week’s precipitation is much needed for the Campbell River watershed, but the prolonged dry weather is still cause for great concern at BC Hydro and for fish technicians at the Quinsam Hatchery. “With extremely low inflows since October, it has been a challenge to maintain a minimum flow in the river to allow the adults to spawn and eggs to develop in the gravel,” said hatchery manager Dave Ewart in a news release from BC Hydro. “At this point, we are all waiting for rain and snow.” As if on command, this week’s rain slightly boosted levels in the watershed and reservoirs, and also increased the snowpack on mountains. In fact, Mt. Washington Alpine Resort was finally able to re-open Thursday and was reporting a mid-mountain snow base of 120 centimetres on Wednesday morning. The ski resort, which typically boasts one of the deepest snowpacks,

water flows beginning Feb. 18-19 and continuing until March 19. A public safety advisory is in place from John Hart Dam to Elk Falls during the migration flows, so stay away from the river at this location during the migration flows. Safety signs will also be in place. Meanwhile, at the Quinsam Hatchery, staff are keeping a close watch on their stocks. According to Ewart, most salmon fry will emerge in April. “On the one hand, these low-flow and cold conditions provide optimum in-river incubation survival, but on the other, there is real concern week to week on whether these flows can be maintained into the spring to allow for fry to emerge from the gravel and rear throughout the spring,” he said. “Staff are also concerned about the year to come and what the low snowpack and inflow conditions will mean for all stages of the salmon life cycle in the seasons to come.” The current weather forecast shows rain for most days until late February.

had been closed due to a lack of snow. Since Oct. 9, the water inflows into the John Hart reservoir in Campbell River is the second lowest (1978-1979 was lower) ever seen in 50 years since BC Hydro began record-keeping. “Since October, we have only received about 47 per cent of normal water inflows into the reservoir from storm run-off and snowmelt,” said hydro spokesman Stephen Watson. As a result, BC Hydro has been operating the John Hart generating station at half capacity for months to conserve water for downstream fish habitat. This operating range will likely stay in place for several months. The low output at all Vancouver Island hydroelectric facilities has meant more power coming from the mainland by undersea transmission cables to meet demand. In spite of the low water flows, BC Hydro will begin releasing “spawning pulse flows” from the John Hart Dam. The goal is to release more water into the Elk Falls Canyon and Campbell River to allow for the migration of steelhead. There will be five, twoday periods of increased

Hydro is filling this reservoir because of planned maintenance work and the subsequent lowering to normal levels once the work is complete. n The February snow bulletin shows the snowpack to be 28 per cent of normal for this time of year. The Upper Wolf River snow gauge in the upper watershed has been trending near record lows all fall/winter and is currently at about 25 per cent of normal. The snowpack normally peaks in May so there’s still time for accumulation.

Court dismisses anti-aquaculture activist’s appeal

www.CampbellRiverMirror.com www.CampbellRiverMirror.com

The Supreme Court of Canada has refused to hear the appeal of an activist found liable for defamation by the BC Court of Appeal. The order to pay damages and stop publishing defamatory materials about Cermaq Canada will stand. “We are glad to see today’s ruling, which vindicates Cermaq’s reputation as a producer

of nutritious salmon. We welcome public debate, but it should be based on facts, and critics should be held accountable for their public commentary,” Laurie Jensen, Cermaq Canada’s Communications and Corporate Sustainability Manager, said in a press release. Cermaq Canada (which changed names from Mainstream Canada in November) origi-

nally took anti-salmon farming activist Don Staniford to court from Jan. 16 to Feb. 10, 2012. The legal action was in response to a campaign by Staniford against the company and its employees. “It affected our employees, their families, our suppliers and our partners. The heart of our company is our employees, and we need to stand

up for them and defend them against malicious and defamatory attacks, and against cyberbullying,” Jensen said. In the original trial, the judge concluded that Mainstream was a responsible corporate citizen, pointing out that “They are conscious of the need to operate the business in a manner consistent with producing a product that is safe

to consume and contributes to a healthy and nutritious diet.” The trial judge found that the activist’s comments were defamatory and were motivated by express malice toward Ma i n s t re a m . She described the language in his publications as “extreme, inflammatory, sensationalized, extravagant and violent,” but accepted his fair com-

ment defense. On July 22, 2013, The BC Court of Appeal overturned the trial judge and ruled that Staniford was not eligible for protection under a fair comment defence because he failed to adequately provide facts to back up his claims. The appeal judgment also awarded Mainstream Canada special costs because of Staniford’s “reprehensible conduct”

Our View

The spell of the games As the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia heads into its second week, the narrative is sounding awfully familiar. Remember all those horror stories We say: As soon about costs run amok, facilities unfinished or not up to snuff, as they open, unseasonably mild weather, displaced the cynics are and displeased citizens, stray dogs being dispatched? forgotten Hmmm, rewind the clock four years, and we might be talking about Vancouver. Minus the stray dogs part. Or eight years ago in Turin, Italy.

Winter or Summer, the script for every Olympic Games seems to be coming from the same writer. It’s already being composed for Rio de Janeiro in 2016, where slums have been razed to make way for sporting facilities and workers have died building those venues. But the crazy thing about the Olympics, and the trump card the International Olympic Committee carries in its back pocket, nuzzled up against the vast wealth it amasses by governing the Olympic movement, is as soon as the spotlights illuminate the ever-kitchy opening ceremonies, and the first competitors enter the starting gates, all the collateral drama is forgotten. When it comes to the Olympics, we just can’t help

ourselves falling in love all over again. Especially when the memories of being a host city are still so fresh. Maybe it’s the sheer volume of Olympic hype and coverage that overwhelms us every couple of years. Maybe we’re just suckers for the human interest stories and athletic dramas that are played out on the ski slopes, ice rinks and running tracks. Maybe we’re just looking for the chance to show our patriotism without feeling self-conscious. Whatever fuels your Olympic spirit, enjoy the ride. The cynics will be back next time round. – Black Press

Letters

Community ferry meetings were just public relations Filed for publication with the Mirror Dear Todd Stone Minster of Transportation, Well, it appears that the “meetings” with the public were just for public relations, as obviously you had no intention of changing your mind on this issue. Fourteen ferries on the mainland are free, yet we are “hosed” for taking the monopoly ferry. You say that these 14 ferries are a part of the transportation system. Aren’t ALL ferries part of the transportation system? It seems that looking at reducing the onerous amount of managers is not going to change. The number of managers that the BC Ferry system has is over 650, which works out to 10 managers per route. How can you justify this? Is the “bonus” system going to change or are we as taxpayers paying for that as well? Disappointed isn’t the word I’d use on this issue, disgusted is more like it. I’d like a response from you Mr. Minister as to how you came to the decision you did.

I remember when I wasn’t addicted to technology I was born before the revolution of personal computers and handheld electronic devices. As a child I played with action figurines and used my imagination to create dramatic events for the characters. I was educated with chalkboards and paperback books. If I needed to make a phone call for a person I didn’t know I had to find the number in a bible-sized book and then use a rotary dial and wait for each number to click back to zero. When I entered my teenage years I began exploring my writing talents by penning poetry by hand. I read the books authored by most

It is the last thing I see before I close my eyes to sleep, and the first thing I see when it awakes me in the morning with its alarm. During the rare times when the Internet is down or I’m out with the family doing something, I can sense an inner anxiety and discomfort. I can feel the compulsion to get back to a screen where things are familiar. In short, I don’t know how to properly disconnect from technology.

And when I do, I feel much like a junkie needing my fix. Being wired into the world wide web feels normal now. That little boy who shot lacrosse balls into a net is long gone. Not that I’m complaining. Technology has given me many fun virtual adventures and allows me to support a family. I am, however, glad to have memories before it took over our lives and became the new religion for the masses. Adrian MacNair is a reporter with the South Delta Leader, a Black Press newspaper.

suspicions of many that the consultations were a joke has now been confirmed. The heart of the problem is the Coastal Ferries Act which established the ferry system we have lived with for the last dozen years. It was essentially the first step to privatizing our marine highway. And it is an unmitigated failure. What we are seeing now, with fares spiraling out of control and services being cut across the coast, is a direct result of that ideological decision in 2002. Communities all over the coast are reeling from the latest attacks on them. Port Hardy, for example, devastated because of the loss of tourism dollars and its economy will be further undermined because people living in Klemtu, Bella Bella and Shearwater no longer will be able to commute to use local services. No island community escapes this downward spiral: we are all ferry dependent. As critic for transportation I’ve been working with local and provincial groups that are forming to fight the cuts. The Port Hardy Chamber of Commerce and the District of Port Hardy have been extremely vociferous. A group of Chambers of Commerce is trying to fill the gap left by the government by conducting an economic analysis of the impact of those cuts. It is shocking that a government that claims

Sales Rep

Graphic Designer

to be a good fiscal manager avoided doing the basic economic groundwork before making such major decisions. One suspects the BC Liberals knew that the outcome of an economic impact analysis would not support their ideological determination to further degrade our ferry service. Another group of activists is going to take the fight to the lawns of the Legislature and will be there on March 11th. There must be a strong turnout to show that people are united in their opposition to this blatant attack on coastal communities or will again be ignored by the BC Liberal government. When we are back in session next week I can take the many questions I have over the reason behind these decisions directly to the Minister of Transportation who is ultimately responsible for all our highway system. I’ll also be working with others on just how we can fix the mess the Liberals have created. I am also hoping that the Minister of Health will remove his ideological blinkers and see reason in the continuing discussions about our new hospital. Planning for the building is still underway and yet we are hearing that there is no opportunity to increase the number of beds, despite the latest revelations that emergency

Graphic Designer

patients are now being transferred from Campbell River to Duncan and Nanaimo because of overcrowding. The Hospital Stakeholders Group which I convene is now examining various options which could be presented to Island Health for retaining parts of our existing hospital to provide much needed extra space. Some issues sadly cannot be challenged on the floor of the Legislature. The decision by the owners of New Horizons seniors’ home in Campbell River to bust the union there should be illegal. However since the BC Liberals took office in 2001 this has become commonplace in seniors homes, as profit has been allowed to displace human dignity. I am also looking forward to meet with the Minister of Environment about ongoing negotiations for the extension to a park on Quadra Island and the continuing questions we have about conservation officers in the north end of Vancouver Island. My last week out of session saw me in the TriPorts visiting schools, meeting business leaders and community groups, going to meet the hard working crew at Campbell River Search and Rescue, visiting the new Communitas supportive care facility as well as heading to Vancouver for meetings on rail

A recent letter to the editor expressed concerns about overnight lighting in Spirit Square.

The lighting is left on for pedestrian safety and to allow people in passing vehicles to see any activity in the square after dark. Lighting the square has also successfully deterred vandalism, which helps keep costs low for vandalism maintenance at this site. The City also has an ongoing program to install LED lights that minimize energy consumption. If you have questions about City operations, please contact us!

began with one store in Qualicum Beach in 1982, is an award-winning leader in the Canadian grocery industry, employing nearly 850 people in 11 grocery stores on Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast. Over the last 30 years Q ua lity Fo o ds has earned many regional, provincial and national Awards of Merit as an active member of the Canadian Federation of Independent Grocers. This is a testament to the team and entrepreneurial spirit which has been so important to their success to date. Innovation has also been a large factor in establishing Quality Foods as a strong independent. Having introduced the first preferred shopper program in the Canadian grocery industry in 1991, to offering Western Canada’s first full online shopping service in 1997, Quality Foods continues a tradition of putting their customers first. Under Schley’s direction, Quality Foods proved that customer

service and community involvement are much more than subtle niceties; they are a core part of the company’s identity and success. Schley has been an active voice for independent grocers both regionally and nationally in such areas as the Beverage Container Stewardship Program. He is a past chair of the Canadian Federation of Independent Grocers and is a past recipient of some of the industry’s most prestigious awards including the Golden Pencil Award and the Phoenix Group’s Leadership Excellence Award. At age 51, Schley was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Qualicum Beach Chamber of Commerce. “Business leadership and entrepreneurship is a key driver of our local economy. Quality Foods is a fantastic local example of how innovation, customer service and community involvement can contribute not only to business success and longevity, but to creating a positive business environment and to making Campbell River a great

place to live, work and do business,” stated Colleen Evans, Chamber President & CEO. “We are very excited to host such a high profile and inspiring speaker. We believe that businesses will take away valuable insights, regardless of their industry, after attending this luncheon.” This is lunche on event will be hosted by the Campbell River Chamber of Commerce and sponsored in part by Quality Foods and Andrew Leitch of Mackie Research Capital Corporation. The luncheon will be held on Thursday, Feb. 20 in the Carriage Room of the Royal Coachman from 12-1 p.m. Doors will open at 11:30 a.m. for networking. Purchase your tickets online today at www. campbellriverchamber. ca/events. Tickets are $35 for Chamber members (plus GST) and $50 for Future Chamber members (plus GST). The price includes lunch, refreshments and dessert. Pre-registration is required for this event.

CR DanceXtreme dancers excel in Vancouver, Washington

Shirley Gnome throws political correctness out the window and is not afraid to turn the air a little blue with her humour.

She’s raunchy and racy

Looking for some (inappropriate) laughs? Shirley Gnome’s the answer. Gnome is a self-styled musical comedian, performer, and storyteller. Singing her own brand of titillating, crass, and absurd music, Gnome belts out original tunes about the embarrassing, profound, and hilarious adventures that happen when bodies collide. She won over audiences all over Vancouver to become Patrick Maliha’s The People Champ of Comedy Competition 2012 Grand Prize Winner, taking home $20,000. She con-

tinued this success with a criticallyacclaimed show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland, the world’s largest arts celebration. She’s appearing on Quadra Island at the Heriot Bay tonight. Show starts at 7 p.m., tickets are $19. “If you fancy a wild evening of sexually fuelled country rock, then get yourself along to see Shirley Gnome,” states an Edinburgh Fringe review. She’s raunchy and she’s racy and she mixes it with quality musicianship; call the Inn to reserve seats, 285-3322.

Donation helps keep tabs on patients’ hearts The Campbell River branch of the First Open Heart Society recently donated to the Campbell River Hospital Foundation in order to purchase an Ambulatory Blood Pressure monitor and two Holter monitors. The Ambulatory Blood Pressure monitor measures blood pressure over 24 hours to provide a more complete picture of a patient’s blood pressure. Patients wear a special blood pressure cuff that measures and records their blood pressure at regular intervals. The records can provide a more reliable measurement than one-off readings. A Holter monitor is a portable device for continuously monitoring various electrical activity of the cardiovascular system for at least 24 hours. The Holter monitor records electrical signals from the heart via a series of electrodes attached to the chest. These electrodes are connected to a small piece of equipment that is attached to the patient’s belt or hung around the neck, and is responsible for keeping a log of the heart’s electrical activity throughout the recording period. Formed in 1973, the First Open Heart Society provides patient support for those about to undergo heart surgery by those who have already ‘walked the path.’ The Campbell River branch holds one fundraiser each year – the Walk for Hearts, held the first Sunday in May. All donations from this event stay in our community and are used for North Island heart patients, cardiac equipment for Campbell River Hospital and education for cardiac nurses and technicians.

Members of the First Open Heart Society were thrilled to help out the Campbell River Hospital with a donation to purchase a cardiac machine. Pictured front row from left are: Ed Jarvis and Josephine Derks of the First Open Heart Society, Stacey Marsh (executive director of the Campbell River Hospital Foundation), Ken McRann (Heart Society), and in the back row, Mark Cryderman (cardiac technologist at Campbell River Hospital).

And it may be members of the Campbell River Fish and Wildlife Association who conduct the local Wilderness Watch. Wilderness Watch is a program sponsored by the British Columbia Wildlife Federation (BCWF) through various local groups. Its

Midget Tyees to host playoff

The No 1 Auto Body Midget Tyees will host Peninsula on Saturday in the Island Tier 2 hockey semi-final. Last Saturday in Powell River, Campbell River dumped the home town Kings 4-2 in the final game of the North Island playoff round-robin. The win gave the Tyees first place in in the North Island division. The Tyees scored at 5:46 of the first period when Deion Thompson passed across to Keaton Dion for a tip-in. Other goal scorers included Braden McCartney with a pair and Tyson Goebel. Peninsula finished second in the South and will face the Tyees on Saturday at the Rod Brind’Amour Arena. Game time is 4:30 p.m.

ALL ABOUT BOWLING It’s often heard that bowling “costs too much” and it seems only fair to compare apples to apples. In terms of value for money, bowling compares very favourably with any other leisure/sporting activity available in Campbell River. This is particularly so when customers make use of the monthly coupon and recently introduced weekly daytime specials. With game prices as low as $2.00 it is hard to think of anything else that you can do for that price. So check-out the specials elsewhere in the in Mirror or give the Centre a call on 250 286 1177 for more details.

2x6 CR Bowling

Members of the North Island Predators swim team show off their medal haul from the AAA provincial swim championships in Kamloops. The team includes members of the Campbell River Killer Whales. This weekend the Killer Whales host The Eliminator meet at Strathcona Gardens pool.

Swimmers shine in Kamloops The Campbell River Killer Whales swim team had a great meet at the recent AAA provincials championships. The Killer Whales swimmers were part of the North Island Predators. The Predators is an association that was formed between the local club and the Comox Valley Sharks, to create a bigger team atmosphere at bigger meets, as well as create more opportunities for relays for swimmers from both clubs. The best age 18 and under swimmers gathered in Kamloops to race for provincial supremacy and for new qualifying

standards to the upcoming national level swim meets. The swimmers from Campbell River were as strong as ever winning 20 medals (five gold, seven silver and eight bronze), breaking 11 club records, one provincial meet record, and sweeping the 11 and 12 girls relays. Jasmine Skuse had a breakout swim meet winning gold and silver medals in the 100- and 200-metre breaststroke events. With those swims she also achieved two of the needed three times to qualify for age group nationals this summer. Skuse was also on both

relay teams that captured gold. Melayna Beaudin also had a great meet swimming with a number of best times. Most impressive were her relay swims at the end of the night where she would pull double duty and race in two age groups to win medals for both. Mackenzie Padington had her best AAA swim meet ever winning four medals (gold, silver and two bronze) and breaking six club records. Paddington’s biggest swim of the weekend was her first swim in the 800 freestyle. She took the lead from the very begin-

ning of the endurance race and, despite her cap falling off, won the event in a club record time. Other standout swimmers included: n Jamylia Wellard, two medals in the breaststroke at her first AAA’s. n Conner Skuse after starting off the weekend a bit slow, turned the meet around to place fourth in the 400 IM in a time that puts him tied for third in the country for 14-year-olds. n Cailyn Collis had one of the toughest back-to-back swims on Saturday. Collis swam her final swim in the 400 Freestyle only two hours

after her morning swim. In total, Cailyn moved up 21 spots on the day and took 14 seconds off her time. The North Island Predators girls team was second overall and and the team placed sixth overall; the highest the Predators have ever placed at the provincial meet. Four swimmers from Campbell River will now head to New Westminster to compete at the Western Canadian Championships while the rest of the team gets ready for CRKW’s home meet, The Eliminator. It takes place this weekend at Strathcona Gardens.

Playoff run continues

After a disappointing home ice loss to the Alberni Valley Bulldogs the previous week, the Mainstream Biological Consulting Peewee B Tyees squeezed out a 7-6 win while visiting the Tri-Port Eagles in Port McNeill last Saturday. The Tyees found themselves up 6-2 after two periods on goals by Riory

Young, Cole Devlin, Dakota Sinclair, Jordan Baker, Nathan Lagos and Ridge Rosa. The Tyees also benefited from the tight goaltending of Jayce Hudak. Perhaps over-confidence got the best of the Tyees going into the third as three unchecked Eagles’ forwards found the back of the Tyees net

in less than three minutes to close the gap and make it 6-5. Young gave the Tyees another two-goal lead and then Hudak held on in net for the victory. With the crucial win, the Tyees continue their playoff run with another road trip on Saturday to play the Island Tier 3 semi-final in Sooke.

ANADA’S RENO REBATE INC. continues to spread the word about government rebates for new-home purchases, ownerbuilt homes and substantial renovations to existing homes during the tenure of the HST throughout the province. Happy clients are receiving up to $42,500, which is the upper limit a homeowner can receive for a project. Together with the Ontario-based company Rebate4U, Canada’s Reno Rebate Inc. has already helped homeowners apply for rebates totaling over $8 million. “There is a misconception that if your home is worth more than $450,000, you are not entitled to any government rebates, but this is just not true — you are entitled to a portion of the PST embedded within the HST,” says Sean Leitenberg, manager of the Victoria office of Canada’s Reno Rebate Inc. “‘Do I qualify?’ has to be the most frequently-asked question my staff get,” says Sean. “Each renovation or new build is not exactly the same, so we have to determine that the best we can on a case-by-case basis.” There are definitely some clear-cut rules, though. There is a deadline of two years to apply from the time you completed your major renovation or new build, though there are a couple of exceptions to that rule, too. To qualify for a major renovation, you must do substantial work to the majority of the inside of your home. If your work was limited to a small portion of your home, such as a bathroom or kitchen, or if you just painted and put down new floors, you would not qualify. The end result of your renovation should be substantial enough that your home or condo is like a new home. The money spent on the exterior qualifies for the rebate, but only if you have done enough work to the inside of the home first to qualify. A new roof or landscaping is not enough on its own, but would be included in the rebate if the inside of the home qualifies. If you purchased a new home from a builder, the builder may have claimed the rebate and credited it back to you by lowering the price. In this case, the rebate has already been claimed. If your home is worth more than $450,000, you are not entitled to a federal rebate, but you may be entitled to a provincial rebate if a portion of the construction took place while the HST was in effect. If your home is worth less than $450,000, you are entitled to both a

federal rebate and a provincial rebate for the portion spent during the HST period. A new home built or renovated for yourself or for a family member’s primary place of residence qualifies if it was completed within the last two years. If the home’s value is more than $450,000, then the homeowner is only entitled to a rebate for money spent between July 1, 2010 and March 31, 2013. Canada’s Reno Rebate Inc. currently has representatives throughout the province who are happy to help clients with the forms that need to be signed and the brief questionnaire that needs to be filled out. If you live in an area where the company does not have a representative, or if you would prefer to download the forms from the comfort of your home, you can find everything on their website and use their courier service at no charge. The time involved is minimal and your rebate could be huge. Canada’s Reno Rebate Inc. also has a brief questionnaire on their website that allows you to see if you qualify for the rebate and only takes 60 seconds. Or, give them a call and in just a few minutes, they can determine if you qualify. Everyone seems to know someone who has built a home or done a renovation, so if you know homeowners who might qualify for this rebate, make sure to let them know before they miss their deadline. Canada’s Reno Rebate Inc. handles all the paperwork and follows through with the government until you receive your cheque. Because Sean and his staff know the forms, the processes, and who to call, they efficiently and quickly collect the information and submit exactly what the government agencies need. The company charges no upfront fee and if you don’t receive a rebate, the application costs you nothing. “So give us a call or check out our website,” Sean says. “What have you got to lose?”

Put on the pink Greta Hamilton CARIhI MIRROR

very February anti-bullying days pop up around schools across Canada. With pink shirt day and fun fairs, there’s many events urging everyone to be proactive in the anti-bullying scene. Pink Shirt Day started in Nova scotia in 2007, when a young boy was being bullied for wearing a pink shirt. His classmates decided to stand up, buying 50 pink colored t-shirts to wear in defiance of the bully. Now, seven years later, it’s a tradition in all schools to participate in wearing pink. This year at Phoenix Middle school on Feb. 26, Phoenix Leader-

ship along with Carihi Interact are sponsoring an anti-bullying fun fair. There will be games, face painting, food put on by Phoenix Fitness and Recreation class as well as 10 Bounce-a-Rama rides and games generously donated by the good folks at Bounce-aRama. Rides include the surf machine, wrecking ball, balloon typhoon, velcro wall, bungee run, sports world, basketball and the bouncer slide. RCMP Const. Bouwman will be on hand to distribute information regarding anti-bullying. Campbell River Storm players will be on hand if their playoff schedule does not interfere - Go Storm! Not only this, but Carihi Interact and Phoenix

Leadership have taken the goodness up a notch by donating all funds to one of their joint initiatives this year, Education is Power, a local non-profit organization. The organization sponsors school fees for students in Kenya. With zero administrative fees, donating to Education is Power, you know exactly where the money is going. The fair will be held at 5-8 p.m. in the Phoenix Middle School gym. Games and rides will be a Loonie or a Toonie. Cotton candy, tattoos and photo buttons will be available as well. Everyone is urged to wear as much pink as possible to raise awareness of the effects of bullying in the school system.

it looked like a good play.” LeRoy had been helping the director of many previous Carihi Musicals, Christine Knight, search for possibilities for the next play, when he happened upon this one and together, they decided that it was the best option. LeRoy was then given one of the lead roles as Clyde and he proceeded to practice as much as possible. As well, Clyde needed a partner in crime, and after a bit of thought, Knight decided that the best person for the role was Randi Rae Lang. At first, Lang was appre-

hensive about taking the lead, “I’ve never been the star of a show before, and I fear I might do something like fall on my face.” But she has spent a lot of previous time performing other plays, committing a part of herself to drama, and ultimately became excited for the debut of the show in late May. The two will perform as well as graduate together. Together, the two performers are excited for the show to begin, because nothing beats the cheer of the crowd and the thrill of being on stage.

Partners in Crime: Bonnie and Clyde larissa melville CARIhI MIRROR

The drama sect at Carihi has almost always given a massive musical production every year, and for this show, the performance is Bonnie and Clyde. From the depths of this production come two formidable students – Hudsen LeRoy and Randi Rae Lang – who have committed to portraying the leads in the production. “I was collectively looking for musicals,” says LeRoy, “when I stumbled upon Bonnie and Clyde and thought

Students hit the high seas tara Warkentin CARIhI MIRROR

Students at Carihi have the opportunity to get out of the classroom and gain skills through the Nautical Sciences program. Teacher Sylvain Chabot heads the program. He says all the students are motivated. The application process required them to put together a resume and cover letter as well as go to an interview. Now that the program is underway, incentive comes in the form of sailing. If students don’t fix a dinghy they won’t have a boat to sail in. The program is based out of the workshop at the Robron Center. For the first part of the semester they focus on fixing sailboats that have been donated and learning complementary skills such as scuba diving, snorkeling, cooking, woodwork, business and financial management. They will get certificates showing they have earned these skills, as well as a First Aid certificate and a pleasure craft operator license.

From left, Jeff Lontayao (Carihi), Kai Taylor, vice-principal of Robron Centre, and Sylvain Chabot, a Carihi instructor, show off a couple of sailboats that had been donated for the new Nautical Sciences program for high school students.

“We are learning skills so that when we go sailing we can be out for many days and be self sufficient,” said Colton Masales, a participant in the course. Later, they will sell the boats that they don’t need, raising funds to put back into the program. Come spring, students will begin to sail dinghies in the passage between Campbell River and Quadra Island. Once they have learnt the ropes they will take out

larger vessels, building up to a five-day trip. Despite the large amount of fieldwork, students are also keeping up with academics, taking at least one course through e-blend, a program based out of the Robron Centre. It offers courses comprised of online and text resources, and support from Robron staff. Participants in Nautical Sciences can take the courses at Robron or at home.

Looks Last year, Nissan introduced the bigger mid-sized Pathfinder SUV and this smaller Rogue shares many styling cues from its bigger brother. This, in my opinion, is a good idea. It has a sense of purpose, sophistication and commonality that helps define Nissan’s brand. Nissan wants to portray “everyday premium” with this new Rogue, including such nice touches as LED daytime running lights, wheel arch extensions, integrated mirror turn

In addition, this package includes navigation, a 7-inch touch screen monitor, power lift gate, blind-spot detection system, and lane departure warning system. These really are premium features found only in luxury SUVs just a few short years ago. Unfortunately, the top SL trim is only available in a two-row 5-seat configuration because

QUESTION OF THE WEEK!

it was felt the price would be too high for compact SUV buyers. Drive As hard as it might be to believe, this new, larger and slightly heavier (49kg) Rogue is actually more fuel-efficient than the last model. They were able to improve the economy by 18 per cent through the introduction of a new continuously variable transmission (CVT), aerodynamic tricks, and letting the carried-over engine breathe a bit better. Still rated at 170hp, the 2.5L 4-cylinder engine does a good job in city driving, thanks to the gearing of the new CVT but can seam a bit underpowered for higher, passing manouevre on the highway. Overall, the person filling the new Rogue up with fuel will welcome this balance of efficiency and everyday drivability. As part of the winter driving experience, I drove on an ice course in Macaglisse, Que., to highlight the vehicle’s stability system and the Active Trace Control feature. On the first run, through the twisty, sheer ice roads the entire system was shut off. As I crested a hill, then made a hard right turn, the Rogue slid all

the way out to the edges of the corner, almost hitting the opposing snow bank. On the second run, with the advanced systems on, the same road was almost uneventful. The stability and traction control kept the wheels from spinning but the Trace Control System provides just a slight amount of brake force to the inside wheels to help the Rogue navigate the sheet ice with confidence. Verdict The objective with this new Rogue was to be noticed and provide a level of refinement and creature comforts that the competition isn’t providing. The pricing is fantastic, especially the middle SV models. The larger interior dimensions will always be welcome, as buyers like to get more for their money, but it is still small and efficient enough for city buyers. The Lowdown Power: 2.5L 4-cylinder with 170hp Fill-up: 8.2L/6.2L/100km (city/highway AWD) Sticker price: $23,498-$33,098 zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

Safety Tip: Distracted driving is the third leading cause of car crash fatalities in our province, which is why police are out in full force this month as part of a province-wide distracted driving campaign. According to one recent study, texting while driving makes you 23 times more likely to be in a crash.

The six coolest car names ever

‘‘

As venomous snakes go, Cobras are wicked cool.

’’

Rob Sass

Shakespeare famously asked, “What’s in a name?” Frankly, in the automotive world, a hell of a lot. It’s difficult to imagine a Corvette called anything else. Yet, it’s not on my list of cool names because prior to its application to America’s sports car, a corvette was a not-quitea-destroyer type of small anti-submarine boat. The name only became cool after the Corvette became a success (which didn’t exactly happen overnight). These six car names are just cool. 1. Mercury Marauder: The name conjures up bands of roving barbarians. In addition to providing basic transportation, who wouldn’t want a car that’s also proficient at looting and pillaging? 2. Ferrari 500 Superfast: Even in the early 1960s, using this name took cojones —something that Enzo Ferrari never lacked. It’s almost over-the-top comical, not unlike Wile

E. Coyote’s business card, which listed his occupation as “Super Genius.” One can only imagine the response of today’s product liability lawyers to this one. 3. Ford Mustang: While the association with the car doesn’t hurt, the name Mustang was cool long before the car debuted in April 1964. Whether it’s the war-winning fighter plane the P-51 Mustang or the wild horse (the car was actually named for the former), it’s just plain cool. 4. Shelby Cobra: As venomous snakes go, Cobras are wicked cool. The whole hood thing, their exotic origins and their highly concentrated venom make your ordinary rattlers and water moccasins seem, well, ordinary. It makes for one of the all-time great hood badges, too. 5. Plymouth Barracuda: As fish go, after the shark, the barracuda is arguably the most badass. Beautifully streamlined, highly aggressive and possessing a mouthful of piranha-like teeth, it’s possibly one of the most evocative names for a performance car ever. And while Mopar fans worship the way later cars were simply called the ’Cuda, we remain fans of the full name. 6. Aston Martin Vanquish: Vanquish is generally defined as follows: To utterly defeat; soundly thrash or beat; to overpower, subjugate or subdue. Enough said.

to ensure that it has not become crushed, pinched, frayed, or kinked at any point. Should the rope be damaged, it should be replaced before use to avoid injury. All winch owners should have a winch accessory kit to recover a vehicle properly and safely. The average kit includes a three-metre chocker chain, a clevis, snatch block, five-centimetre tree trunk protector, gloves, and a carrying case.

There have been very few times that I have gone four wheeling and not run into a situation where a winch is required. A winch can be an important tool in safely plucking a vehicle from an impossible situation, or righting a truck after a rollover. It can also be used to clear properties of logs or rocks. If you travel the back-roads of British Columbia, you should never be without a winch. There are a few things to know before you operate your winch for the first time. What appears to be a simple operation can quickly turn dangerous if basic safe winching practices are not used. Most are equipped with

when operating a winch or handling wire rope. A single line pull is one of the most basic winching operations. It involves rigging the wire rope to a stable anchoring point and spooling it in to pull the vehicle toward the anchor point. This type of pull can also be used to extract a truck without a winch; the winch equipped truck becomes the anchor point and the stuck vehicle is pulled toward it. It is a good idea to throw a jacket or blanket over the wire rope midway between the winch and the anchor point. This will prevent the cable from whipping back to the truck in the event of breakage. A tree can serve as an excellent

anchor point, but never attempt to wrap a wire rope or chain around it. In addition to being extremely dangerous, this improper winching practice can damage or kill the tree. Use a tree saver strap, along with a clevis. When a truck is seriously stuck, more winching power can be achieved through a double line pull. To do so, un-spool a length of a line from the drum and thread it through a snatch block. The cable’s hook can then be fastened to an anchor point on the trucks frame or tow hook, and the snatch block will secure to an anchor point toward the direction of the pull. This method decreases the number of layers of wire

2014

rope on the drum and greatly increases pulling power. A snatch block can also be used to change the direction of the pull, without the wire rope collecting on one side of the drum. If you have followed the basic principle of four-wheeling and brought a buddy or a second vehicle, then chances are you will have some assistance in the recovery. Sometimes all a stuck vehicle

needs is a little motivation. In those instances, a quality recovery strap ($53) will work fine. Knowing how to operate a winch correctly is as important as knowing how to drive the 4x4 it is mounted to. Misuse can result in injury or even death, so it is a good idea to familiarize yourself with your winch before reaching a situation where you need to use it. ian.harwood@drivewaybc.ca
