Young Tyee to show Canucks true heart Ten-year-old Matthew Block won the Save-On-Foods contest to skate tonight with his hockey heroes Paul Rudan Campbell RiveR miRRoR
M
atthew Block’s heart will be racing with excitement when he skates with the Vancouver Canucks tonight at Rogers Arena. Next week though, doctors will clinically stress the heart of this 10-year-old Campbell River boy to determine if he requires surgery to correct a congenital defect. “To win this trip for Matthew to be with the Canucks is amazing,” says his mom Stefanie. “It makes us so happy to bring a little bit of joy into his life when he is going through and facing so much.” Block, a high-scoring forward on the Atom B rep hockey team, will don his Tyees’ jersey when he meets the members of his favourite NHL club after winning Save-On-Foods “Every Kids Dream” contest. He gets to skate in the warm-up and join the starters on the blue line for the singing of the national
anthems. It’s the first game back for the Canucks after the Olympic break and they’ll be taking on the St. Louis Blues. “It’s going to be great!” he says, his blue eyes already twinkling with anticipation. Block and his folks stopped by the grocery store on Friday to pick up their four tickets and $500 in spending money from Save-On Manager Dave Madiuk. “I don’t get to spend it all,” Block quickly points out, noting that most of it will be spent on the ferry and hotel. Cheering on Block will be his mom, dad Jim and older brother Kyle. Block is looking forward to every moment and he’s also hoping one of the players slips him a Vancouver jersey. He doesn’t have one, but on Friday he tried on a signed team jersey which Save-On is raffling off in support of BC Children’s Hospital. The significance was not lost on his folks who are grateful for the health care their son is receiving at BC Children’s and other hospitals. “He’s getting really good care… he’s the toughest and bravest kid… so brave,” says Stefanie. It looks as if she’s about to cry, but

Matthew Block, 10, can’t wait to skate with the Vancouver Canucks tonight after winning Save-On-Foods “Every Kids Dream” contest. He stopped by the grocery store on Friday to pick up his tickets from store manager Dave Madiuk.
Matthew: Tests to come Continued from Pg. 1

then her little hockey player gives her a quick, firm pep talk, “Mom, I’m going to be FINE!” Block always appeared “fine.” The youngest of five, he was always active and began playing hockey at age five. Then, about a year ago, he began complaining of a “thump” in his chest. Doctors thought it was nothing unusual, perhaps a muscle spasm or “stitch” which isn’t too uncommon with fast-growing children. Still, the thump persisted, but nothing appeared out of the ordinary. However, just to be sure, Block was sent to B.C. Children’s Hospital in Vancouver where he was put through a battery of heart-stress tests. Again, the boys seemed healthy, but as one last precaution they sent him for an ultrasound. And that’s when the anomaly of the right coronary artery showed
up. “He’s had it since birth and we never knew,” says Stefanie. “It truly is a blessing to have found it! We had no idea that it would lead up to open heart surgery.” There’s still a chance Block can avoid surgery. On March 4, he will be at St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver where he will undergo another series of tests. This time they inject his body with drugs to stimulate the heart, to determine the flow of blood, oxygen and nutrients and to determine the extent of the strain. “That will determine our next move,” says Stefanie. “Through all this, Matthew is being so strong. If he sees me with tears after I’ve just gotten off the phone with his doctor, he is the one that comes up and puts his arms around me and says, ‘Mom its all going to be okay.’ He truly is an amazing
young man.” Another amazing person to the Block family is Rosi Temple. The former neighbour now lives in Powell River, but the Block boys are still near and dear to her heart. That’s why she continues to fill out their names at Save-OnFoods for the Every Kids Dream contest. She’s been doing it for the past year and then good fortune came at a time when the family needed it most. “Oh, I want to thank Save-On-Foods and I want to thank Rosi!” says Block with a smile. Block scored twice and added two assists Saturday in a 9-2 win over Victoria’s Racquet Club. Then on Sunday, he scored again in a 7-6 victory over Comox. He now has 29 goals on the season for the Nyrstar Atom B Tyees. His favourite Canuck is Daniel Sedin.

The Campbell River Mirror is a finalist in the Ma Murray Awards for newspaper excellence which is handed out each year by the B.C and Yukon Community Newspapers Association. The Mirror will find out on April 26 whether it placed first, second or third at the BCYCNA’s annual convention in Richmond. Either way, a top three finish is considered a proud accomplishment by Mirror staff.

Winter’s last blast?
Monday was a snow day in Campbell River as all schools closed and many people, like Kara Henderson and Deejay Price, age two, grabbed their sleds and headed to the hills at Willow Point Park. Others had to trudge the snow-filled streets, like this pedestrian on 2nd Avenue, while other spots, like Discovery Pier, were quite peaceful under a thick blanket of white.

I
t was billed as the Coldest Night of the Year but it got a warm response from the community. Campbell River’s Coldest Night of the Year walk was organized by Campbell River Family Services and had set a goal of raising $25,000.
That goal was beaten by over $2,000 as a total $27,649 was raised by 188 walkers in 34 teams. The walk to raise money for the homeless was held in downtown Saturday night and wound it’s way around five kilometres of city streets beginning and

Boundary extension puts regional district staff under the gun Kristen Douglas Campbell RiveR miRRoR
Campbell River’s proposal to extend its city boundary into a portion of Area D is creating workload pressures for Strathcona Regional District staff. As part of the process, the regional district is required to review a consultant’s report commissioned by the city and identify whether affected residents would suffer any negative impacts from a boundary extension. Russ Hotsenpiller, the regional district’s chief administrative officer, said the organization’s input is mandated by the province and must be submitted to the ministry of community, sport and cultural development no later than March 28. That doesn’t leave much time for the regional district which
will need to hire outside expertise to identify any service impacts. “The SRD has a limited capacity and experience to sufficiently assess the impact to services associated with Urban Systems phase 2 and 3 draft proposal,” Hotsenpiller wrote in a report to the Strathcona Regional District’s board of directors. “Accordingly, staff has applied to the ministry for financial assistance to aid in providing an accurate and timely response to the boundary extension and have requested and received Campbell River’s support for this undertaking.” Urban Systems’ consultant’s report studies the feasibility of the city extending its southern boundary in order to provide Area D residents with city sewer service. The city is proposing to bring 208 northern Area D properties into the city

of Campbell River, conditional on a $3.4 million senior government grant being extended past March 2015 to help pay for the cost of extending the city’s sewer infrastructure. The project also hinges on how Area D residents vote on the proposal through a referendum that could happen as early as this fall. The city is offering the sewer service at a contribution rate of $9,300 per property, a rate that was approved by Area D residents in a 2006 referendum. On top of that, a $1,800 connection fee would be applied to each affected Area D property.

Resident labels downtown waterfront input process as biased Kristen Douglas Campbell RiveR miRRoR
At least one Campbell River resident says community meetings on how the city’s downtown waterfront property should be used were biased. Leona Adams, who attended public workshops on Nov. 12 and 14 hosted by Coriolis Consulting, said the consultants seemed to already have an idea of what would happen to the property.
“When questioned about the density in the final design not matching the public vision, the consultant said it was her very first assumption that the plan was to re-zone this property,” Adams wrote in a letter to city council. “Both these statements, witnessed by many people, show bias.” The meetings, which were part of a charrette process, were held to gauge the public vision for a 9.5 acre waterfront property behind Target
and across from Robert’s Reach. The property is made up of a 3.5 acre parcel owned by the city and two other parcels owned by the Campbell River Indian Band. Adams said the consultants, which recommended the property be used for a mix of residential and retail services, seemed to already have their own vision before meeting with the public. “If public use would be considered for the 3.5 acres, the consultant said she would not entertain
something as extreme as just a park,” Adams said. “This leaves out the public who have that vision.” According to the report from Coriolis, the consultants did do prior research before hosting the public sessions. The project teams studied city plans, policies, and design guidelines for downtown including zoning bylaws, the city’s sustainable official community plan, master transportation plan, and a series of past urban design, land use market
studies and outcomes from a series of pre-charrette open houses and efforts of the city’s Youth Action Committee. The team also researched other downtown waterfront development projects with potential relevance to the Campbell River site and presented that information at the public sessions. Participants in the two and a half day workshop were asked to use stickers indicating whether they agreed or disagreed

with 24 different statements relating to the use of the site. The majority concluded that the site needs to include public amenity space and that it should have a pedestrian link to Robert Ostler Park and the downtown core. There was strong disagreement that the space be used for parking; that the parcel be sold to a private developer; that the site be used for a large box store; or that the property be used for industrial purposes. On Feb. 18, city coun-
cil directed city staff to come up with a draft of several guiding principles for waterfront properties to be incorporated into the city’s official community plan. Adams just hopes council takes into account what the public wants to see. “In the interest of due diligence, please review all of the open house information and workshop designs in your final conclusion of the results of the 9.5 acre waterfront charrette process,” Adams wrote.

Take an active role in your health
It’s no secret that finding a doctor who is taking new patients is a difficult task. Unless you have complex care issues or are pregnant, chances are that every nagging cough, aching joint or unending migraine will end with you pulling a number at your local walk in We say: Many clinic — or worse, waiting through the things we can night in an emergency room for basic care. do can alleviate Of the 4.4 million people in B.C., health system it’s believed that 14 per cent are “unattached” to a family physician. That equals more than 600,000 men, women and children who don’t have a singular care provider.
Granted, some of those people are perfectly fine with that. But many others are desperate for a family doctor who can oversee their children’s health, their aging parents, or their own regular exams. It’s well known that having a doctor you trust can improve your health. But even for those with family doctors, wait times for appointments can be as long as three to four weeks — not much help for someone suffering acute symptoms. But all the shortages and wait times aside, there are qualified, caring professionals doing their best to help as many people as they can in a day. As we are learning through the GP For Me initiative, doctors are working on long-term solutions for a better system.
Taking an active role in your own health care can only help the situation, and there are a number of things we can each do. That includes using the HealthLink website and accessing medical advice through their 811 phone line. Take notes at your doctor’s office, or ask your doctor to write down important information for you. Don’t leave prescription refills to the last minute. If you have a chronic illness, go to clinics and seek out information to help you manage your symptoms. Book appointments in advance when possible, and call if you can’t make an appointment. Every little thing can help alleviate a good, but overwhelmed, health care system. – Black Press
Letters
Give to the seniors
I read with interest Kristen Douglas’ article titled “Mixed use development eyed for city waterfront.” I was more than a little disappointed that I saw no mention made of the possibility of a seniors’ centre at this location, as I knew it had been discussed. Your readers are undoubtedly aware that there has been much discussion about finding an appropriate location for a seniors centre in Campbell River. Currently, our seniors are housed in the Sportsplex from Monday to Friday for about three hours a day and at the Community Centre on Monday and Wednesday for the same length of time. While we very much appreciate that the city council has allowed us the use of this space rent free, we still do not have a permanent home where we can “hang our hat” as we have to clear out all our materials to prepare the rooms for the next user. We are simply another entry on the Sportsplex or community Centre’s calendar. Campbell River seniors need their own space where they may gather and socialize, engaging in programs of their own choosing and partaking of nourishing, reasonably priced meals. I would encourage all senior citizens, if you feel as I do, to make your opinions known to our public officials at the municipal, provincial and federal levels. With our strong voices, we will influence them to act on obtaining a stand alone seniors’ centre that is long overdue for Campbell River. It might even end up being located on the waterfront, with the best view in town. Bruno Fornika President, Campbell River Seniors’ Centre Society
Olympics: the best of time and the worst of times
Alistair Taylor
Out On A Limb @AlstrT
editor@campbellrivermirror.com
I’ve always been a big fan of the Olympics. The first games that I really remember following closely was the 1976 Olympics in Montreal when I was in high school. I was explaining to my son the other day that it’s different watching the Olympics now than it was when I was younger. Nowadays, Canada’s a powerhouse in the winter Olympics. That’s a big change for an old sports fan like myself. I can remember the lean years of counting medals on one hand. We got a silver medal – a silver medal! – in the Montreal Olympics and we didn’t get any gold in our first winter Olympics on Canadian soil in Calgary in 1988. But despite the lack of results, I’ve always enjoyed the games for the personal stories of triumph and tragedy.
Sometimes, the accomplishment of someone just happy to finish is as great as a gold medalist. Occasionally, a Canadian in the old days would stand out from the pack because he or she was a winner. Most of the time we had to be content with the heartfelt story of personal accomplishment. However, I have to say, I do prefer being on the winning side of the ledger. Of course, it always raises the question of what’s such a big deal? Why do I care so much and why does society spend so much on athletes and extravagant sports festivals? Well, because it seems to matter to us and society buys into because there are those who make money at it. But is success in an athletic competition any indicator of how developed a society we are? Are we a better place to
live because our national hockey team is the best in the world? Conversely, are we any poorer a place to raise children because our national men’s soccer team is 113th in the world? The answer is, of course, no. It means nothing. Canada is no less a civilized place now that our team finishes fourth overall in medal success at the Winter Olympics than it was when we were lucky to get four medals. Some might even say we’re less tolerable now that we’re winners. Athletics can generate both the highest and lowest behaviors. Just look at Vancouver. In 2010, the streets of B.C.’s biggest city were filled with joyous, happy, fun-loving crowds enjoying themselves safely and good naturedly. A year later, those same streets were trashed by mobs of unruly,
disgraceful drunks and thieves brought together by a hockey tournament. You can brush off sports as ridiculous or juvenile or you can glorify them as exemplifying the highest of human traits. What you can’t do is totally dismiss them. They mean a lot to a lot of people and they have an impact. A journalism instructor once explained to a dismissive classmate of mine, “Sports is news!” Spend $51 billion on a tournament and tell me that’s not news. Pay a kid out of Ontario millions of dollars to chase a rubber plug and tell me that’s not news. Sometimes the sheer drama of it all is captivating and the Olympics concentrates it all into one two-week period and millions of us are mesmerized. Rightly or wrongly.

The in-house approach works for QF Paul Rudan
CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
W
hile Quality Foods co-founder Ken Schley spoke about leadership in the highlycompetitive grocery business, it was the presence of his executive assistant that spoke volumes about faith and loyalty. Schley was the guest speaker last Thursday at the Royal Coachman Neighbourhood during the Campbell River Chamber of Commerce’s business leaders luncheon. More than 30 years ago, Schley and a couple buddies took over the bankrupt Qualicum Foods store in Qualicum. All in their mid20s, the “green” grocers renamed the store Quality Foods – so they didn’t have to change the QF logo – and offered
the employees their jobs back, with the same pay and benefits. All of them balked. Well, almost. One remained and that was Dianna Rivard who sat at the head table for the luncheon along with Schely’s son, Jordan, who’s the store manager at Quality Foods (QF) in Courtenay. “Dianna started wrapping meat and now she’s looking after more than 800 people,” Schley tells audience. Promoting in-house, and doing just about everything else inhouse, is embedded in the philosophy at QF that grew from one store on Vancouver Island to 11. “We’re not even on the Richter scale in Canada,” says Schley, referring to their ranking among grocers. Being independent has always been a struggle,
Quality Foods’ cofounder Ken Schley.
but thanks to a business deal a couple years back with Vancouver billionaire Jim Pattison, Schley and his partners got the capital to keep growing their business. “Pattison wanted to buy us out because that was way easier,” said the affable Schley. “We just wanted his money!” QF opened its Campbell River store at Merecroft Village in 2004 and is now finally poised to soon open its first store in Victoria, at Tillicum Mall. “We always wanted
to go to Victoria, but as long as Alex Campbell (the late founder of Thrifty Foods) was alive, that wasn’t going to happen,” says Schley, who recalls how Campbell was quick to snap up any available grocer that came up for sale. Much of QF’s success comes from its in-house, can-do attitude. The company’s distribution warehouse in Errington is being expanded to 130,000 square feet, their techies develop QF software, they build their own stores, promote from within, and continue to develop innovative specials. “I really like the Manager’s Specials, there’s always so many,” former mayor Mary Ashley tells Schley. City councillor Andy Adams also praised QF and local manager Cyriel DeBruyne for their ongoing financial

support of Campbell River’s Canada Day fireworks. It’s become a QF tradition that has spread to other Island communities. “We just want to recognize Cyriel and the community engagement. We really appreciate it,” says Adams. If there was one little sore spot, it was the mention of B.C.’s new liquor laws which will, when approved, allow grocery stores to sell beer and wine. The dilemma facing QF is space. They don’t have big box stores and liquor takes up a lot of room. Schley didn’t mince words when asked about the forthcoming change in liquor policy, “I hate them.” He also isn’t keen the huge merger deals, “I don’t like to see the bigger get bigger. I want more competition!”

Youth art inspired by the sea
Quadra Island artist Tara Iverson will be teaching an upcoming kids’ class at the Campbell River Art Gallery. Iverson spent her teen years at the Emily Carr Arts Umbrella Program, and went on to teach and assist various artists at North Vancouver’s Artists for Kids program. She went on to work in the music industry and the culinary arts, and now lives on Quadra working with wooden boats and yachts. Throughout it all, she has kept her art career at the forefront of what she does. “Over the years, I have continued to pursue my own artistic roots through acrylic abstract painting and collaborations, selling work in shops and showing art at local events,” Iverson said. “Five years ago, I got back into working with children at the Quadra Kids afterschool
program, where I was able to reignite my passion for teaching arts to youth.” Iverson’s upcoming kids’ class at the Campbell River Art Gallery is perfect for young artists who want to learn to draw while delving into the mysteries of our marine environment. The class, called ‘Dive Into the Mysteries of the Sea,’ aimed at children aged seven to 12, takes place over four sessions on Wednesdays beginning today until March 19 from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Participants will explore the foundations of basic drawing techniques while focusing on everything from kelp to crabs, sea otters, anemones and much more. The classes will incorporate beginner to advanced use of drawing materials, some vocabulary basics and composition. The cost for ‘Dive
Into the Mysteries of the Sea’ with Tara Iverson is $65 for members of the Campbell River Art Gallery and $75 for
non-members. All supplies are included. Call 250-287-2261 or email programs@crartgallery. ca for more information.

4x6.5 Legendary blue singer Jim Byrnes will perform at the Heriot Bay Inn on March 8.
The legend that is Jim Byrnes comes to Quadra Legendary blues man Jim Byrnes is performing at the Heriot Bay Inn on Quadra Island. His is a “voice that sounds like it saw creation and followed the devil down to hell,” wrote AmericanaUK. Byrnes has been on the blues highway for over 45 years. Over this time he has had the great good fortune to appear with a virtual who’s who of the blues, from Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker to Taj Mahal and Robert Cray. Byrnes was born in St. Louis, Missouri – blues country. He grew up on the city’s north side. One of his neighbourhood bars had Ike and Tina Turner as the house band. As a teenager
going to music clubs, he and his buddy were often the only white people in the place. “We never had any problems. We were too naïve, and had too much respect for the music and culture – they knew it, they could tell.” By age 13, Byrnes was singing and playing blues guitar. His first professional gig was in 1964. In the mid-seventies, after years of drifting, Byrnes moved to Vancouver. In 1981 he put together a band that became a staple of the local music scene. He also found fame as an actor, with too-numerous-to-mention T V roles, highlights including television’s Wiseguy and Highlander series.
But Byrne’s first love is the blues. “Jim Byrnes is the real deal as far as blues and roots music goes. He ain’t pretty-playin’, folks. He’s getting down and dirty,” wrote the Phoenix Blues Society. Byrnes has a crate full of music awards and nominations, including multiple Juno Awards, Canadian Folk Music Awards and Maple Blues Awards. Hear his “smoky, evocative” voice for yourself Saturday, March 8 in Herons at the Heriot Bay Inn. Tickets are $55 per person and include a tasty two course dinner: reservations highly recommended for this notto-be-missed event. Call the Inn for reservations: 250-285-3322.
Want to Meet the World?
School District 72’s international program is looking for host families. Students from overseas will be studying at our schools and they’d love to stay with a family. Students are coming to Campbell River from Germany, China, Taiwan, Austria, Spain, Brazil, Japan, and Mexico – many for the full school year, but some for one semester (five months) or shorter. Most international students prefer to stay in families with children, especially children their own age, but we encourage all families, with or without children, to get involved!
Why would your family want to do this? Bring a new culture into your home – without the inconveniences of travel! See the world through new eyes and rediscover the joys of Campbell River as you share them with a newcomer! Build a lasting relationship, as many of our host parents have contact with their students for years afterwards. Host parents are compensated $700 per month and are expected to provide: • • • • •
a warm and welcoming home environment; parental supervision; a private bedroom with a desk or table to study; internet access; and three healthy meals per day, plus snacks.

Three domestic violence convictions in a year All smiles on PAUL RUDAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

53-year-old Gold River man deserved a further six months behind bars. However, the judge said he would “go along” with the joint submission presented by the Crown and defence lawyers for three more months. “The purpose of sentencing is to protect Ms. Mark,” Judge Dohm said on Feb. 17. Howard and Teresa Mark were living in a Gold River apartment visited often by Nootka Sound RCMP. Their relationship involved heavy drinking which led to violence.
The latest incident occurred Jan. 10. When Mounties arrived they found the couple’s apartment in utter disarray as if someone had trashed the place. Mark appeared at the door covered in blood, Howard was also inside and both were heavily intoxicated. Mark had been punched several times in the face and as Howard was being arrested he slurred, “Where’s your witness?” According to defence lawyer James Hormoth, Howard is an accom-
MANAGING YOUR MONEY Last minute RRSP4X10 tips to save on taxes and build your retirement nest egg Trevor Despins
CFP, STI, CPCA Financial Consultant
It’s nearing deadline time once again. The deadline for making your 2013 contribution to investments held in your Registered Retirement Savings Program (RRSP), that is. And, even though it is only a few days away, you have choices to make that can enhance your retirement nest egg and save on taxes. Here are a few last-minute RRSP tips.
• You can fill your unused contribution room in a single year or over a number of years until the end of the year in which you reach age 71(or the end of the year your spouse/common-law partner turns 71). RRSP tax-saving, taxdeferring, income-building tips • Maximize this year’s RRSP contribution Making your maximum allowable contribution each taxation year is the best strategy for tax savings and to maximize potential long-term growth. • Maximize last year’s RRSP contribution Catch up on your unused contribution room as quickly as possible for additional tax savings and enhanced longterm growth. • Borrow to gain You could maximize this year’s contribution or catch up on past contribution room with an RRSP loan. The money you borrow will generate a tax break and add to your tax-deferred RRSP growth potential. The key is to get a loan at a low interest rate and pay it back quickly. Use your extra tax savings to help pay off the loan.
Split to gain If your spouse’s income will be lower than yours over the next few years or in retirement, a spousal RRSP can generate retirement income that is subject to less tax. The plan is in your spouse’s name but you contribute to it. Your total can’t exceed your personal yearly contribution room but your spouse’s limit is unaffected by your contribution. The right RRSP strategies will save taxes and help you retire with more – but your RRSP alone is usually not enough to fund the retirement of your dreams. By adding in a well-balanced non-registered investment portfolio, you can get there comfortably. Your professional advisor can help make it happen for you.
INVESTORS GROUP
RRSP deadline details • March 3, 2014 at 11:59 PM is the deadline for contributing to investments in your RRSP for the 2013 tax year. • You may make a maximum contribution of up to $23,820, depending on your earned income in 2013 (and minus your pension adjustment if applicable). • You’ll find your personal maximum allowable contribution on your most recent notice of assessment from the Canada Revenue Agency (on line (A) of the RRSP Deduction Limit Statement). • You can carry forward unused contribution room from prior years.

Day fireworks display, and has committed to the same amount for this year’s festivities. Carol Chapman, who sits on the city’s Canada Day committee, said volunteers were kept busy throughout the weekend. “ We w e r e v e r y pleased to have an amazing Canada Day celebration,” Chapman told council at its meeting Feb. 18. “We served 350 meals (the night before Canada Day) and donated $1,800 to Cameryn’s Cause. We cooked 980 pancake breakfasts (the morning of Canada Day) and $3,400 was donated to the fire fighters muscular dystrophy fund.” Canada Day also included a seniors tea, the Huck Finn fishing derby at the pier, as well as the Children’s Festival. There were also belt sander races and the hospital bed race down Shopper’s Row which raised $8,500 for the Hospital Foundation, to go towards equipment for Campbell River Hospital. The always-popular Canada Day parade attracted 10,000 viewers. “We had all sorts of different characters in our parade and we did really good security with the parade this year,” Chapman said. “Everyone had a great time and there were no complaints.” Special to the festivities last year was a delegation of ambassadors from Campbell River’s Japanese sister city, Ishikari. The delegates marched in the parade and participated in the weekend festivities. As an added bonus, the Campbell River Canada Day committee also hosted the RCMP musical ride which entertained the masses at the Campbell River Trail Riders Association’s Equestrian Centre Aug. 10-11. Chapman said all in all, the events were a success. “Ever ything (was provided) to the people free of charge unless they wanted to eat,” Chapman said. “Everyone was smiling.” She said this year’s celebration promises more of the same.

City tags out of compliance business for improvements KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
The city is turning a rezoning application into an opportunity to help spruce up the commercial-dominated landscape in north Campbell River. Charlie Walcot of Wa l c o I n d u s t r i e s appeared before council at its Feb. 18 meeting seeking a change to the zoning on his property after being informed his property did not comply to the city’s bylaw. “My family owns the place…at the corner of Woodburn and the Island Highway. We’ve been running it as a rental business and a place to store my vacuum trucks, high pressure pumps, stuff like that,” Walcot said. “I found out recently that I guess we’re not in compliance. Even though I thought were zoned properly, we’re not.”
Builders forums Back for its third consecutive year, the city of Campbell River’s free forums for builders and developers will offer five lunch’n’learn sessions in 2014. Mark your calendar for five Wednesday lunches this year to learn what’s happening: March 5 – New standards for windows and doors in the BC Building Code April 16 – Potential changes to the City’s Zoning Bylaw June 4 – Soil deposition regulations for removing or adding soil on private land September 3 – Site grading process and considerations – from subdivision to construction December 3 – Introducing…an illustrated, easy-to-read development permit handbook Find more details about these forums on the City’s website (www. campbellriver.ca) under Planning, Building & Development. Local industry professionals interested in attending any of the forums are reminded to reserve a spot by calling the Land Use Services at 250-286-5725 as seating is limited. Forums start at noon at the Rivercorp boardroom at Enterprise Centre beside city hall.
Chris Osborne, city planner, said that the city received a complaint in 2013 and a follow-up inspection “revealed that the site is currently being used for equipment sales/rental/storage, which is not a permitted use” under the current zoning of Walcot’s property. So Walcot presented an application to council asking for the necessary wording to be added to
his zoning in order to bring the property into compliance. “Whatever you see on the property – storage containers, portable toilets, C-cans, vacuum trucks – nothing will change,” Walcot said. “I just want to get into compliance.” At the same time, Walcot will be required to add some landscaping to the front of his property, similar to nearby neigh-
bours Coastline Mazda and Inland Kenworth. Osborne said the area would really benefit from some element of screening and beautification of the road interface. “This does not need to be elaborate, but it is suggested that linear strips of landscaping along the boundaries should include appropriate vegetation at a range of heights to soften the
industrial appearance of the site, and the chain link fence that surrounds it,” Osborne wrote in a report to council. “The purpose would be to integrate the site with the arterial Island Highway and surrounding area. The character of this area is clearly commercial, but increasingly, commercial sites have been taking opportunities to create attractive frontages and archi-
tectural buildings that offer improvements and raise the bar in terms of design.” Coun. Andy Adams asked Walcot if he had any requests for landscaping requirements. Walcot responded that it was “no big deal. I can do that for you guys.” He added that he had been planning to add some landscaping to the front of his property anyways and he’s
had a longer water line brought in to help with irrigation. “I wouldn’t see any implementation for a few months of course, but I am open to any suggestions,” Walcot said. Council approved first and second reading of Walcot’s bylaw amendment application, which triggers a public hearing prior to the start of the next council meeting on March 4.

CITY LAUNCHES INTERACTIVE TAX CALCULATOR FOR AREA D RESIDENTS Area D residents can now estimate changes to annual taxes, user fees and other costs if they decide to join the City of Campbell River. Using 2013 rates, a new online tax calculator allows people to enter their property’s assessed value and fees they pay for solid waste services and septic field maintenance - then estimates what they would pay in City property taxes and other fees in the event of a boundary extension. The tax calculator can be found at www.campbellriver.ca under Planning, Building & Development. Additional information about the proposed boundary extension that would offer sewer service to properties in the northernmost section of Area D is also available on the website, including: . reports and studies . news about the proposal . the Urban Systems presentation to Council in January (PowerPoint) . the link to the webcast of the presentation . a map of the proposed sewer extension areas
City of CR
The page will also include electronic copies of newsletters that will be sent to properties in the northern part of Area D over the coming months, plus a growing list of frequently asked questions. Ask any questions about the proposal by phoning the City at 250-286-5700 or via email to info@campbellriver.ca.
February 27th at Ocean Grove Elementary 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the school located at 3773 McLelan Road Learn about the draft proposal to extend the city boundary and offer sewer service in the northernmost portion of Area D. The draft proposal is currently under review by the Strathcona Regional District, and feedback from the public and the regional district will be incorporated into a final proposal - which will be shared through more public information sessions and newsletters to ensure people are making an informed choice when they decide whether or not they want to join the City of Campbell River. Find more information about the proposed boundary extension on the City’s website - www.campbellriver.ca - under Planning, Building & Development.
CITY HOSTING MORE PUBLIC EVENTS FOR THE ZONING BYLAW UPDATE The Zoning Bylaw rewrite process is off to a great start after four successful Open House events in January. Public input is still needed to help identify the current issues across the City and more Public Open House events are being held. Everyone who lives within the City is encouraged to come out to the informal Open House events. The Zoning Bylaw can change the type of permitted uses on specific properties or set general regulations, all of which may influence property values and neighbourhood characteristics. Bring your concerns, issues and suggestions about what you think we need to know as we proceed in writing the FIRST DRAFT. Wednesday, February 26, 2014 at the North Island College, Rm C228 from 1-3 pm and 7-9pm A second set of Open Houses will be held in April for the public to review the FIRST DRAFT. Project information and a copy of the current Zoning Bylaw 3250, 2006 is available for viewing on our website, www.campbellriver. ca, or paper copies are available for viewing in the Land Use Services Department at City Hall. For questions, please contact Ross Blackwell at 250-203-1144

BIRRELL, Mary-Jo 1930 – 2014
:PVS $PNNVOJUZ :PVS $MBTTJmFET
Mary-Jo passed away peacefully with family by her side on Sunday, January 26, 2014, at the Rising Sun LTC in Black Diamond. Loving mother to Patty Johnson (Rick), Don, Doug and Mary Ann; grandmother to Shiana, Sharla, Melanie, Riley, Calvin, Kacie, Jake, Austin, Jack, Ben Johnson (Jaime) and great-grandchildren, Mariella and Matthew Johnson. Sadly missed by her brother Charlie Liegerot (Pam) and family and friends. Mary-Jo Liegerot was born October 6th, in Tulsa and raised in Oklahoma. She received her BA in English at OU, where she met Kent Birrell her husband of 45 years. In 1952 they moved to Saskatchewan and started their married life with Kent as a Petroleum Engineer in the oil industry until his retirement in Alberta in 1988. While living in Calgary and raising 4 children, she was awarded the 1967 Volunteer of the Year Award. Her style of volunteering was creating, backing, organizing, planning and working, progressive ideas and projects for people in the community. Like starting the Meals on Wheels program, and a Home skills program for First Nation young women starting city life in Calgary, exercising handicapped children, family YMCA swimming programs and teaching Sunday school. She helped people at every turn in her life. Mary-Jo was a journalist and published her own horse magazine, “Canada Rides.� Many Cowboys will remember her “Canada Rides Tours� to the NFR for many years. With retirement, Kent and Mary-Jo moved to Campbell River, BC on Vancouver Island, where they both contributed to the Canadian Power and Sail Squadron, teaching boating safety and skills. Mary-Jo was a walking miracle; she recovered from breast cancer, kidney cancer and a brain tumor. She loved the happy life of the Rising Sun LTC. The nurses, recreation team and staff will always be remembered by this family as an amazing and loving group of people and we thank them for their care of Mary-Jo. This September, Mary-Jo was recognized as one of Alberta’s inspiring persons, and was featured on the "Inspired" program by Darrel Janz of CTV. One of her happiest days came as the Recreation Department of Rising Sun planned a book signing party to celebrate the publishing of her first novel, “The Wind God,� a novel based on her own family's history in the early 1900’s. Mary-Jo is lovingly remembered for her daily jokes, skill at Crib and Bridge games, sharp wit, sense of humor and more than words can say about a beautiful, compassionate woman. A celebration of Mary-Jo’s life will be held Saturday, May 31 at the Millarville Hall in Alberta. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Rising Sun LTC unit (717 Government Rd, Black Diamond, Ab T0L 0H0).

Gary George Hamilton Gary Hamilton, aged 76 of Campbell River passed away suddenly on February 19, 2014 with his family at his side. He is survived by his best friend and wife of 51 years, Barbara and his two sons, David (Liza) of Port McNeill and Mike (Dawn) of Campbell River along with his grandchildren Derian and Sidney. He also leaves a sister, Betty Kuhn (Chuck) of Kelowna and their children, Susan and Steve and families as well as other cousins, nieces and nephews. Gary was born in Calgary but grew up in the island coal mining town of Bevan. He worked in Ocean Falls and early on in Campbell River but the majority of his working life was spent in the north island town of Port McNeill, a place he loved because of its proximity to nature and lack of crowds. Gary grew up with a love for sports, especially fastball and soccer, and later enjoyed watching his sons and grandchildren take part in their games. He was a lifelong trout fisherman and if you knew his spots, you knew where to find him. After his retirement, Gary returned to Campbell River where his days usually started with morning coffee sessions with friends followed by projects in his woodworking shop, fishing trips to Upper Campbell Lake or whatever jobs needed doing around his or his families’ houses. He took exceptional pride in the lives and accomplishments of his grandchildren and never missed a chance to attend their events or travel a couple of hours just to have lunch and a chat. Gary had a unique ability to form friendships with different types of people of all ages. He was an extremely loyal person who people could turn to when they needed a hand or someone to talk with. The family would like to thank Dr. Grace and the emergency room staff at the Campbell River Hospital for their efforts and compassion. By Gary’s request there will not be a formal service.

Sunday rally to support laid-off workers A good year for A community rally takes place Sunday to support laidoff workers at New Horizons. The rally begins at 12 noon at Spirit Square. Members of the Hospital Employees’ Union and their supporters will the march to
the New Horizons care facility on 14th Avenue and to the nearby Labour Hall for refreshments around 2 p.m. In late December, owners of the 94-bed facility gave layoff notices to 120 employees. Their last day on the job is
April 30. The employees have been told they will be offered their old jobs back if they choose to reapply. It’s expected that they would return to lower wages and benefits. Speakers at the rally will
include Jim Sinclair, president of B.C. Federation of Labour; Bonnie Pearson, HEU secretary and business manager; Claire Trevena, MLA for the North Island; family members; and other representatives from the community.

len property and drugs seized totalled $167,950. The tip line received 372 calls with 297 tips that resulted in 28 arrests and 43 charges being laid as well as 44 cases cleared. “This success was a c c omp l i s h e d w it h the help of our media friends getting the word out, as well as extensive use of Facebook, Twitter and our Crime Stoppers website,” says Crime Stoppers president Rob Harris. “We tweeted 429 times, posted 400 times on Facebook and our web site was viewed over 253,004 times. Very impressive numbers.” Since the inception of Campbell River Crime Stoppers in 1990, there have been 4,526 tips resulting in in $343,337 in property recovered and $8,803,331 in illicit drugs being destroyed. Crime Stoppers is an effective vehicle that allows citizens to anonymously supply the police with information about a crime or a potential crime of which they may have knowledge without fear of reprisal. Crime Stoppers is an independent non-profit society and registered charity that is managed by a volunteer Board of Directors who work in partnership with the police, media and local citizens. Crime Stoppers is dependent on public support to raise funds for advertising and the granting of awards for tips. Campbell River Crime Stoppers has several events planned for 2014: n On May 30, they will be hosting their first on-site mobile document shredding fundraiser. This is ideal for any citizens and/or business that needs large (or small) amounts of documents destroyed. With your donation, you can witness the destruction of your records. A certificate of confidentiality and destruction is provided at the end of the process. R&R Shredding supports this event and the Kinsmen will be hosting a barbecue to help raise funds for Crime Stoppers. n In the early fall 2014, Crime Stoppers will be hosting a murder mystery dinner. the Great Gatsby will be the theme. “The continued success of Crime Stoppers depends on the community supporting our fundraising events and becoming members,” Harris says.

She takes numbers and clears bodies.
Emsley-Leik is one of a growing number of local women who have taken up the thrilling sport of roller derby. But it’s more than a sport. It has a culture all its own. It even comes with its own rough and cheeky nicknames. At the rink, Emsley-Leik becomes Foxie McMuff and her job as a blocker is to block the opposing team’s jammer from passing Emsley-Leik’s fellow blockers and scoring points. If the jammer gets around twice, she racks up one point for each skater she passes on the second lap. Emsley-Leik is one of seven from Campbell River who skate for the Rink Minx, a team based out of the Comox Valley. The other members are: Lindsey Ryzak, who’s known around the rink as Lita Riot, Peggy Benoit (Ballsy Benoit), Lisa Jackson (Whiskey Jack), Chantelle McPherson (Chantos Sanchez), Kari Barker (Swifty), and Taisa Brown (Lumber Smack). Though so many members of Rink Minx call Campbell River home, the team has had a difficult time bringing the sport to the River City.

While serious injuries are rare, Emsley-Leik says she does come home with some “wicked” bruises. “We call them trophy bruises,” she says smiling. “They’re these huge things sometimes. We’re actually kind of proud of them.”
“Every time we host a bout there’s an influx of skaters,” Emsley-Leik says. “They spend money on hotels, on restaurants, they go shopping, they go to bars. The more events we have, it only benefits the community in the long run. People want events to go to, they want to be entertained.” And roller derby is no doubt entertaining. It’s a full contact sport full of positional, or booty blocking, ride outs, and hip whips. For that reason, each skater must wear full

But she enjoys it all the same. “I just love to skate,” says Emsley-Leik, a former figure skater, who first got into the sport while living in her hometown of Williams Lake. “I’ve always loved to skate. I like being a part of a team atmosphere. It also promotes fitness. We’re always trying to find a way to up the bar just one more notch.” Emsley-Leik and teammate Melicious Mooose (Melissa Curtis) have even started roll-

Bouts are typically held Saturday nights at the Comox Valley Sports Centre between May and July. But Emsley-Leik says the team is trying hard to bring some of the games to Campbell River. “I think the Campbell River girls definitely
