the interior of the home, destroying irreplaceable family photographs and a computer with most of their business information. “We dumped a lot of water on it – there were some real stubborn spots,” the chief noted. The intense heat, combined with the wind, caused concern the fire would spread to the neighbour’s house, but the blaze was contained to the one home. However, the front of Johnson’s pickup truck, which he uses to run Clean Sweep Chimneys, was melted by the heat. The main crew of volunteer firefighters was on scene for three-anda-half hours, but a few others were there until noon. However, late in the afternoon, the chief and a few others returned to douse smouldering beams supporting the roof.

Friends and neighbours were there too to support the devastated family. They hugged and reassured them they will help in any way. “We’ve already got a burgundy leather couch donated. We’re getting coats and shoes for them, whatever they need,” said Robertson, as another woman showed up to say she’s going to solicit help from other neighbours. Emergency Support Services will provide the family with a hotel room and money for food and clothing for 72 hours. After that, they may also receive assistance from Red Cross, but Robertson said they will need financial help to pay the bills. “They’re a hard-working family and they did so much on their own on the house and the yard… last year Kelly went out and collected bottles for a cancer fundraiser we were holding…they need

our help now,” she said. From the front, the house looks okay – the decorative silver stars are still hanging from the top of the porch cover. However, a quick walk to the side and the back fully reveals the extent of the damage – the entire house and timbers are black and charred. As firefighters doused the smouldering beams, Bouzanne walked over from the neighbour’s home, forced herself to look inside and then quickly looked away as she let out a gentle sob and the tears began to fall again. n Robertson is hoping to set up a registered trust fund to help support the family.

Protestors in peaceful standoff on Quadra ferry

RCMP boarded the ferry to Quadra Island to make a group of about 100 protestors pay their fare Saturday. The protestors had c om e a c ro s s f rom Quadra to the Campbell River ferry terminal on the noon sailing intending to hold a rally against provincial government plans to cut routes and raise BC Ferry fares. The rally was an extension of the March 11 protest at the provincial Legislature in Victoria. Quadra Island regional district director Jim Abram said Saturday’s rally was an opportunity to let residents up and down the coast unable to attend the Victoria rally express their opposition to the government’s plans. “We’re trying to have a day of solidarity with other coastal communities to try and get the provincial government to understand what they

don’t understand and that is (ferry routes) need to be put back into the highway system as a marine highway,” Abram said. The protestors intended to ride across on the noon sailing of the MV Powell River Queen, walk into the ferry vehicle marshalling area, chant, sing, wave signs and then get back on. But after boarding, there was a delay of about a half an hour or so

before an announcement came over the ferry’s public address system that the return sailing had been cancelled due to weather. Not long after that, five RCMP vehicles arrived and officers boarded the ferry to talk to the protestors who apparently were not planning to buy tickets. During a standoff of about an hour or so, the Mounties talked with the protestors who eventu-

ally began filing off the vessel, marching to the ticket booth to buy their tickets. Some disembarking passengers said they had made their point and were paying up. They got back on the ship and it sailed away without further incident. Campbell River RCMP Staff Sgt. Troy Beauregard said, “What we did was board and let the group voice their concerns and we had a short discussion with them.”

Paul Rudan Campbell RiveR miRRoR

It wasn’t so long ago when Bonnie was afraid to use the stove in her own home. Today, wearing her cook’s outfit and blue apron, she stands in front of 15 people – mostly strangers – and explains how “The Dinner Bell” program changed her life. “Some people think that people with mental illness can’t do anything. We’re here to prove them wrong. We can do a lot things!” she says with a warm smile. There’s no mistaking her confidence and her audience shows their agreement with a round of applause. They’ve just enjoyed a scrumptious four-course tasting menu, topped off with juicy strawberries dipped in thick chocolate. The desert taster followed baked cod with dill sauce and quinoa, spanakopita with rice pilaf, and stuffed pork loin and smashed potato. The big hit though was the homemade bacon mac and cheese. “I love the crisp little onions,” says Leslie MacLennan after another delightful bite. MacLennan is the coordinator of rehabilitation services for Campbell River Mental Health and Substance Use services which refers clients to the program, a partnership between Island Health and the Salvation Army.

Paul Rudan/The MiRRoR

Bonnie and another student introduce their four-course tasting menu to guests who’ve come to learn about The Dinner Bell program.

The program started last year and began with renovating the kitchen to commercial grade at the Sally Ann’s Ocean Crest Church. The next step was bringing in chef Connie Preston whose attention to food detail is as important as the lessons and steady guidance she provides to her students. “I come to work every day and I’m excited,” says Preston. Her first class of four has already graduated, some have returned as mentors and more people are improving their lives, and their mental health, by learning new skills and building confidence in themselves. “I’ve been through addiction and stuff,” says Scarlet. “This has been a great experience of learning and I want to get back

into the workforce…the people here have been a real support system for me.” Others, who aren’t in the program, are also benefiting first-hand from The Dinner Bell. The meals prepared by the classes are frozen and sold to other clients with mental health and addiction issues. For a nominal fee, they receive three nutritious meals a week. And that’s a great thing, says MacLennan, because many clients survive off social assistance and either don’t have the money or the kitchen skills to eat this well. “For a lot of people, mac and cheese usually comes out of a box. This is much better,” she says. Preston and her students follow the Canada Food Guide. Each stu-

dent receives at least 150 hours of training, a combination of study and hands-on cooking…and cleaning! “Everybody learns how to wash dishes,” Preston says with a chuckle. The hope for graduates is they continue on to a formal cooking school, like at North Island College, or get a job in a kitchen or restaurant, or have the confidence to do something else with their lives. “It’s amazing training. It’s rewarding and fun,” says Carl. “This has

changed my life.” Bonnie stands next in front of the group of strangers and tells them what she used to be like, “I was real nervous around stoves, but I thought this would be the best setting to be in if something goes wrong. “This has been a blessing. I use my own stove now and I don’t panic. I’ve grown more confident. We’re all here to support one another and we’re friends!”

Our View

Are you prepared for emergency? In the past few years, there have been a number of natural catastrophes around the globe that we in this corner of the world have had the immense good fortune to “experience” only as media We say: A major consumers. Each time, we should have paused quake here will to reflect upon our own level of preparedness for disaster. be as damaging Experts have long been warning that as elsewhere the B.C. coast sits on a major fault line. It is a matter of when, not if, a killer quake hits this area. In the days that follow virtually every major quake

and/or massive storm, thousands of people are injured, homeless, and searching for water and food. Emergency services are often overwhelmed or cut off. Countless households – including those that escape damage – are simply not prepared to handle such a critical emergency with the most basic supplies and plans. Are we? The answer is, for the majority, no. The ramifications of a major quake will be the same here as they are elsewhere. Stores will be damaged, and those that aren’t will be void of essential supplies in hours. Transportation will be severely interrupted. Telephone and Internet is likely to

be down. So, do you have a survival kit in your home? Do you have a complete first aid kit, and the knowledge to use it? Do you have alternate shelter in case your home is uninhabitable? Do you at least have enough water to last three days, for your entire family? Do you have enough food on hand to last that long, or longer? If you answered no to any of the above, you have a hoice. You can become prepared now, or ignore this latest warning – at your peril. – Black Press

Letters

Meeting provoked reaction Filed for publication with the Mirror Dear Brenda Leigh, Your recent Area D community meeting, attended by a large proportion of residents, provoked me into considering the various problems facing Area D. I believe the following questions need to be asked and addressed: Firstly - is there a problem with some of the residents’ septic fields in the area? The answer would seem to be that a small minority of the residents definitely have a problem. My question is this: If a health risk specific to a failing septic system is identified why doesn’t the Regional District a) insist that it is fixed immediately (thus solving any health problems) and b) enable this by funding the repairs and placing a lien on the said resident’s property which the owner can remove as they can afford? This is common practice in many communities and in most cases would still be cheaper (financially and politically) than the long term costs of a sewer system. Secondly - Why is the City of Campbell River planning to put sewers into large unserviced lots, if the need is to

BC Ferries made for a wet but interesting afternoon

Alistair Taylor

Out On A Limb @AlstrT

editor@campbellrivermirror.com

There I was just after noon Saturday standing on a picnic table, buffeted by wind and rain, waiting for the dang ferry to go so I can get a good video shot of it pulling away. It would have been a nice end clip for my video of the protest a group of Quadra Islanders had just staged in the ferry marshalling area on the Campbell River side. I kept waiting on the table, camera in hand until I noticed RCMP officers arriving and walking onto the ferry. Aha! Now this was interesting. I got down from my perch and joined the other media at the ferry ramp. Not long after that an announcement came over the Queen of Powell River’s public address system saying the sailing had been cancelled due to weather. Nobody

was fooled for a second. It was another act in a piece of political theatre. It was obvious BC Ferries wanted to force the protestors to pay the return fare to Quathiaski Cove on Quadra. Why? Out of spite? To make an example? Insurance? What had been a nic,e tidy but pretty standard protest had now become something much more interesting and controversial. The protest on Saturday could have been over and done with and the news reports would have been a basic little clip about another ferry protest. Even the TV guys had admitted they had planned just quick trip up to Campbell River, shoot a little video and then head back to Nanaimo right away. Instead, they ended up spending half a day there with a more dramatic story

than they had intended. The headline on our website www.campbellrivermirror.com became a breaking news item – “Protestors and RCMP in peaceful standoff on Quadra Island ferry” – instead of a Wednesday print article a few days later. So, what of this whole ferry debate? Our website has received some significant amount of debate, mostly supporting the protestors’ point of view. Should we be sympathetic to people who choose to live on these little islands, as one commentator said? Well, one point is that a lot of these little islands were settled long before parts of the mainland have been – particularly up north where highways have been punched through the wilderness to reach them. Quadra Island was settled long before Campbell River. Vic-

toria is as old or older than anywhere on the Lower Mainland. So, there’s some kind of grandfathering exemption there. And how much does it cost to build and maintain a ferry compared to a highway in the Okanagan? It’s a relevant point. Those who are implying that islanders made the choice to live in an inaccessible place are ignoring historical settlement patterns in the province. Then there’s the tourist value of Vancouver Island. Which generates more tourism income, the Island or northeastern B.C.? The population of the northern B.C. health authority is 252,764. The Vancouver Island Health Authority is 764,826. Are we getting special treatment? There are more people living here. And our population is equal to the Interior health authority.

What they’re saying on Facebook about ferry protest: Lorne Gottschewski · North Island College We showed the press that we have not given up this fight. We stood together despite our original plans falling apart, the press got a bigger story then they had planned for. All in all, I think we did good. This is not just an issue for the small islands, this issue affects every British Colombian. BC Ferries is as vital to us as the Trans Canada highway is to Vancouver. BC Ferries is part of the Trans Canada Highway, and a vital part of BC’s Highways. Catherine Berg · Comox, British Columbia Thank you for your stand on behalf of all ferry patrons. Joyce Overnes Pielou · Campbell River, British Columbia Thank you RCMP for upholding citizens’ rights to democratically protest so BC Ferries can become part of BC Highways as

it was and should remain... Laurie Ladouceur · Vancouver Island University Well done Quadra Island and a big thank you from Bella Coola! Florian Schwarz · Works at Everflo Compression Ltd. think the real important part of the last statement is, “WHO CHOOSE TO LIVE ON THE ISLANDS” If me and my family CHOOSE to live any were in this huge expansive province, is it right that the government must PAY for our choice? We in BC are all “ TOTAL DEPENDENT” on BC highways in some way or another. Guess what costs are going up daily. How much diesel and maintenance do you all think a ferry takes? Thoses cost are not dropping! Compare the cost of diesel over the past 3 years, up up up.... If you choose to live on an island you should also have to

Do I have a right to ask the hardworking tax payers for BC to subsidize my extra fuel costs be cause I CHOOSE to live in the middle of now where? Think about it. PS I did not vote NDP last election. Buck up people! Cindy Ferand Schroeder · Pender Harbour Secondary School When I CHOSE to live on the Sunshine Coast it was less than a quarter of the price it is now for the ferry, my wage was more than half what it is now , why should I have to pay 5 times as much for the ferry when im only making 2 times what I was then???

address some failing septic systems in Area D, and charging “phase 1 & 2” residents to do so? It is unconscionable to provide for future development at the expense of existing residents. Thirdly – There is no doubt the city needs to increase its tax base, but should it have the right to hold piecemeal elections in an area outside of its control in order to divide and take over the area piece by piece as it suits them? And this with no guarantee that the majority of homeowners will see any improvements in their lifetimes? At your meeting that night when you asked how many people wished

to be taken over by the city, not one person put up their hand. The people of this area moved here precisely because they wish to embrace the rural lifestyle. Our community plan developed in close consultation with the residents specifies our wishes for no high density housing developments in Area D. Is the nature of our

area to be permanently changed by the needs of a few residents who should be taking responsibility for their own properties? I humbly suggest that this proposed annexation would be a highly undemocratic and contrived answer to what appears to be an illdefined and patchy public health problem. Sally Wilson

Correction

In an article in the March 14 Mirror about math students entitled “Do the math,” a quote attributed to Rebecca Hay said that the school district told the teacher that she could not fail students. This referenced a generalized complaint middle school school teachers have and was mistakenly used out of context. It was not made in reference to Hay’s personal experience or teaching directions with regards to teaching high school math. The Mirror apologizes for the error.

Gardens ‘loop’ will save energy www.CampbellRivermirror.com www.CampbellRiverMirror.com

Energy recovery system provides cost saving, maximizes efficiency Paul ruDan Campbell RiveR miRRoR

Don’t confuse the city’s Greenways Loop with the new “energy recovery loop” at Strathcona Gardens. One is for hiking and biking while the other will save taxpayers $50,000-$60,000 annually. “This is a real good news story,” said Andy Adams, chair of the Strathcona Gardens Commission. “When you look at the quick return

WeDNeSDaY, MARCH maRCH 19, 19, 2014 2014 || CAMPBELL Campbell RIVER RiveR MIRROR miRRoR || 11 11 WEDNESDAY,

nected to the current infrastructure at a significantly lower cost. Future expansions or connections to the energ y lo op cou ld include air handling units, preheating domestic water and snow melting pits for the ice cleaning machines. The potential cost saving for the first year of heating the pools with waste heat is expected to be $50,000. These savings will significantly reduce the natural gas bill will also reduce the carbon footprint of the complex. “Our government is committed to helping communities across the country implement local solutions to reduce their

carbon footprint,” said North Island MP John Duncan. “We are proud to support innovative projects, such as this one.”

on investment, and take into account the impact (that) natural gas rates will see a 25 per cent decrease in rates over the next three years, energy recovery systems like these provide significant operating cost savings while maximizing our energy efficiency.” Adams, who’s also a Campbell River city councillor, credited the Strathcona Regional District, the city, the federal government for its financial support, and one Gardens’ staffer who

got the project rolling. “Lorne Parker did a great job researching this system and submitting the application with full support from the Strathcona Gardens Commission,” said Adams, during an opening ceremony Thursday morning. The $329,750 project received $299,750 through the federal Gas Tax Fund. The remaining money came from regional district. The energy loop brings waste heat from the ammonia compressor room – used to make ice for the two arenas – to heat the main and leisure pools. The energy loop is also sized so that future expansions can be con-

associated with the project such as re-zoning, development and legal costs. The homes, which Roth said are likely to be built in 2016, will be the third housing project for Habitat for Humanity in Campbell River. A duplex on Maple Street was built by Habitat for Humanity volunteers after the city donated the land, then valued at $60,000, in 2007. And a second build is currently in the works for Hilchey Road. Habitat for Humanity purchased the Hilchey lot last year and is in the midst of fundraising for the build and carrying out recruitment campaigns for volunteers to build the duplex and for families to live in the

homes. “The Family Selection Team has started to process homeowner applications,” Roth said. “They will continue accepting applications throughout March and April if needed. Each family must contribute 500 hours of volunteer labour to the organization, including at least 100 hours helping to build their own home.” The homes are a hand up, not a hand out – the homeowners do pay a mortgage, based on 30 per cent of the family’s income, but the mortgage is interest free. Roth said those mortgage payments are used to build more Habitat homes in the community. “The mortgage pay-

ments that the new homeowners make are re-invested in the building of more homes,” Roth said. “Once we have between 12 and 14 mortgages in a community, the accumulation of mortgage payments will fund the building of one home a year.” Habitat also raises money for its builds through sales of building supplies and household items at the ReStore on Willow Street. Habitat for Humanity is encouraging families to apply now for the Hilchey homes. Applications, as well as family criteria packages, are available at the Campbell River ReStore (1725 B Willow Street) near Chevron in Campbellton.

To be eligible for a home, families must have at least one child under the age of 18, be willing to put in 500 hours of sweat equity or volunteer and have a regular income that is not Employment Insurance or Income Assistance.

Quick Facts: n Strathcona Gardens is a multi-purpose facility that includes two ice arenas, swimming and leisure pools and a variety of other fitness and recreational components. n The federal government provides $250,697,000 in annual funding for municipal infrastructure in B.C. through the federal Gas Tax Fund. n Strathcona Regional District has received $3,458,765 to date from the federal Gas Tax Fund.

Council steps up to the plate for Habitat for Humanity Kristen Douglas Campbell RiveR miRRoR

Within two years, Habitat for Humanity could triple its output of homes for vulnerable Campbell River families. The city announced recently that it will donate a piece of property on Westgate Road to Habitat for Humanity. Deb Roth, executive director of Habitat for Humanity Vancouver Island North, said the property will likely be used to build a duplex which will house two local families. Roth said she is “so impressed” with Campbell River council for stepping up to the plate. “As a non-profit we are not surprised by empty promises of support from well-meaning folks that never come to fruition,” Roth said. “That makes this announcement even more significant. Mayor Jakeway and Campbell River city council have shown that they are willing to put their money where their mouth is.” The property at 129 Westgate Road is valued at $95,200 and the city has also agreed to take $33,000 out of council’s contingency budget to cover fees and charges

Ready to roll

By Kristen Douglas

With names like Foxie McMuff, Ballsy Benoit and Lumber Smack, Campbell River’s roller girls will floor you with the rock ‘em sock ‘em style of Roller Derby

hen Kim Emsley-Leik rollerskates around a rink, it’s no leisurely roll.

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.

“What’s challenging is finding the space,” Emsley-Leik says. “A lot of facility staff assume our roller skates will ruin the floor, which is not the case. So we practice in Courtenay, which is unfortunate because half the team is from Campbell River.” gear which includes a helmet, mouth and wrist guards, knee pads, elbow pads, and roller skates.

Emsley-Leik said she hopes the bout, which will attract teams from all over Vancouver Island, will show the viability of having the sport in Campbell River.

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

Victory over natural gas utilities will see 25 per cent rate reduction Kristen Douglas CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Natural gas users on Vancouver Island will soon see a significant savings on their bills. That’s because the B.C. Utilities Commission approved an application by FortisBC to amalgamate its three utilities and equalize the price for natural gas throughout B.C. Coun. Claire Moglove said it was a big win, especially for the Association of Vancouver Island Coastal Communities which had been lobbying for change. “This is a huge victory for AVICC. AVICC has worked closely to move this forward over the last three years,” Moglove said at last Thursday’s regional district board meeting. “This is huge news.” Moglove said natural gas rates will be reduced by 25 per cent on the Island, which currently

pays more for natural gas than the rest of the province. Establishing a common rate will level the playing field and allow commercial and industrial users to be more competitive because they will now be paying the same natural gas rates as their offIsland competitors. Carol Greaves, spokesperson with FortisBC, said equalizing natural gas rates will mean big savings for people who use natural gas in their homes. “Natural gas rates for residential customers will decrease by about 25 per cent on Vancouver Island over three years,” Greaves said in a release. “FortisBC has yet to determine what these decreases will look like per year, however, once the full decrease is in effect in 2018, the average savings for residential customers is expected to be about $215 annually. “Commercial custom-

ers will see even greater discounts of between 30 and 45 per cent, depending on their commercial rate category,” Greaves added. The amalgamation involves FortisBC Energy, FortisBC Energy Vancouver Island, and FortisBC Energy Whistler. The B.C. Utilities Commission had turned down FortisBC’s application to amalgamate in 2013 but reversed its decision on Feb. 26, 2014. Moglove said several factors went into the decision but among them was new evidence that was presented at the second meeting as well as taking Fort Nelson off the table, which will not be part of the equalization plan. T h e e q u a l i z at i o n plan still has to receive approval from the lieutenant governor. If approved, natural gas customers could see sav-

Councillors concerned membership has a price Kristen Douglas

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The Strathcona Regional District (SRD) is considering a membership model to a municipal advocacy group that some councillors are concerned could cost the city its independence. At the regional district’s Feb. 27 board meeting, directors debated a regional membership to the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM). Under a regional model, all of the Strathcona Regional District’s electoral areas and municipalities would be covered under one membership. Currently, only the four electoral areas are under the Strathcona Regional District’s membership while its five municipalities each have their own.

Russ Hotsenpiller, chief administrative officer for the regional district, said moving to a regional version would save money. “Based on information received from the FCM, there would be a collective savings of just over $700 in 2014 for all of the municipalities and electoral areas within the region if their current memberships were to be renewed through the Strathcona Regional District,” Hotsenpiller said. “The savings would be realized primarily through the elimination of annual base fees that form a part of each current membership.” But director and Coun. Claire Moglove said she doesn’t believe the price is worth possibly sacrificing the city of Campbell River’s independence. “I’m not convinced we’d retain

our total autonomy,” Moglove said. “As a representative of Campbell River, I want the city of Campbell River to retain its autonomy. “So I’m strongly opposed to this regional (model). For $20 I don’t really want to take a chance that we’d lose our autonomy.” Moglove said she would prefer to use the Union of British Columbia Municipalities model where municipalities are independent and approach the FCM with their own issues. The board voted to defer the matter until Hotsenpiller can meet with the chief administrative officers of the regional district’s five municipalities to discuss whether moving to a regional model would affect the ability of each municipality to participate independently.

Regional district looking to increase tourism

KRISTEN DOUGLAS

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The Strathcona Regional District is moving forward with a new tourism strategy that would market all of the region’s communities under the same service. The board chose last Thursday to go with a tourism function that involves the regional district taking on some of the workload while paying existing organi-

zations to carry out the rest. Russ Hotsenpiller, chief administrative officer for the regional district, said the hybrid approach – to do some things and fund others – makes the most sense. “The hybrid option may present a reasonable approach as it would allow the regional district to exert a regional influence in such areas as strategic planning, branding and market collaboration

while seeking economies of scale and building relationships with various service partners (stakeholders) and service providers,” Hotsenpiller wrote in a report to council. The hybrid approach is one of four options the regional district has to choose from. The first is to do nothing, the second is to do it all, while the third is to simply enable others to carry out the work. Hots enpi l ler s aid

www.CampbellRiverMirror.com

based on the regional district’s limited capacity, it would be difficult for the regional district to undertake all of the work on its own and it is critical to build on the successes of already established tourism services. The hybrid approach will be further analyzed, including financial implications and revenue sources, and a report will go back to the board before anything is put into motion.

At Thursday’s meeting, Area D Director Brenda Leigh asked if there will be an opt out option for certain regions. Hotsenpiller said there will be once the regional district moves into the third phase of the project. Consulting firm Mahon Jones Associates has been working with the regional district to determine the feasibility of a regional tourism service C ons u lt ant Mar y

Ma h o n - Jo n e s t o l d regional district directors last month that the project does have merit. “The regions to the north and south of Strathcona are taking a regional approach to tourism, leaving Strathcona at a competitive disadvantage,” MahonJones said. “You guys are in the middle so you’ve got to do something to bump that up.” Lezlie Smith, who worked with MahonJones on the study, said

area hotels conveyed to her that it’s been difficult to attract tourists year round. “Occupancy is very seasonal, it’s at 46.4 per cent, which is very low and that affects employment,” Smith said. “Employees get laid off. Average room rates are well below what they should be. They have not been able to increase them above $114. Tourism demand has not returned to pre-2008 levels.”

J. Bevan WILLIAMS April 6, 1935 - March 7, 2014

SANDY JOHNSON 1946-2014 After a lengthy and courageous battle with cancer Sandy passed away peacefully in her sleep on March 11, 2014. Sandy is survived by Ray, her husband of 30 years; her daughters Annette (John), Susan (Lorne), Dianna (Glen); her stepson Lance (Nicky); her grandchildren Alyssa, Brent, Chantelle, ShaeLyn, Braden, Jake, Kimberley, Brady, and her sister Pat (Frank). Sandy grew up in Williams Lake, BC where she raised her family before moving to Campbell River 25 years ago. She would be best known to the community as a constant presence at the Pier Street Market and numerous craft sales throughout the years. By Sandyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request there will be no formal service. In lieu of flowers donations in memory of Sandy may be directed to your charity of choice.

Bevan passed away peacefully at the age of 78 on â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Ranchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, surrounded by his family, after suffering from Parkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease for more than forty years, and dementia for the last several years. He lived an incredible life, full of adventure and travel and leaves his family with stories that will be retold many times. He was married to his wife Connie for 58 years and left a legacy of four children; Kim Williams (deceased), Mike (Teena) Williams, Brad (Laurel) Williams, and Christine (Grant) Lucas; eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

Richard Moore The family of Richard Moore is saddened to announce his sudden passing. Richard passed away March 1, 2014 after a short fight with cancer. He is predeceased by his 1st wife, Bonnie Morrison and 3rd wife, Denise Ruud, and his siblings; Donald, Wilfred, and Patricia. He is survived by his brother John and daughters; Cindy Gork, Stacey Simpson (Chris), and Marcey Hunt (Garry) and grandchildren; Sylvia, Nicholas, Makayla, Ty and Tripp. He is also survived by his 2nd wife, Catherine LeMoine as well as many nieces and nephews. For around 25 years, Richard was a stock broker in Vancouver and in 1990, he moved to Vancouver Island and became a groundskeeper in Courtenay. After doing this for 20 years, he lived the rest of his life in the Black Creek â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Campbell River areas. Richard loved his sports, preferred playing baseball than watching it; but he loved travelling to Hawaii most of all. A Celebration of Life is going to be held in Vancouver late April.

After six shootout rounds, Riptide take title March came in like a lion and the Riptide U14 boys “roared” to an Island championship. “To be Island champions at this level of soccer is a huge accomplishment,” said coach Bruce Mitchell. “The boys and staff should be very proud. I’ve certainly never been prouder of a group of boys.” The Campbell River/ Comox Valley club plays in the Upper Island Soccer Association and on March 7, travelled to Ladysmith to take on a good Nanaimo Storm team. The Riptide shutout Nanaimo 2-0 and less than 36 hours later were headed further south to play in the Tier 2 Island championship. This time the team faced unbeaten Saanich Fusion. After the full 70 minutes the game remained as scoreless tie, leading to a 20-minute overtime. Just two minutes into OT, Saanich scored and then fell back into a defensive mode to protect the lead. But the Riptide was relentless and were rewarded with the game-tying goal with just two minutes left in OT. With the score tied 1-1, the two teams went to the shootout where the Riptide finally prevailed after six rounds. “At the beginning of the season we asked the boys to be the best they could be. Win or lose, we

Council trying to facilitate sale of Willows Pub KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

It’s coming down to the wire for the Willows Pub.

Council is trying its best to facilitate the sale of the Rockland Road neighbourhood pub but the process has not been

easy. The pub sits on a piece of property that has been designated for only community use

through the city’s sustainable official community plan. Sue Thulin, co-owner of the Willows, has an

offer pending to sell the pub to log broker Storey Creek Trading which wants to covert the pub into office space – a use

not recognized for that particular site in the community plan. At its March 4 meeting, council approved

first and second reading of an amendment to the community plan to accommodate office use on the site. Coun. Andy Adams thanked city staff for moving the process along. “I want to thank staff for finding a way through this, understanding it is a bit of a maze,” Adams said. “Appreciate finding a way through this so we can find a resolution for this issue.” Council held a public hearing Tuesday after the Mirror went to press and was expected to pass third reading and adoption of both the official community plan amendment plus a re-zoning amendment, which has already received first and second reading. Council heard last month that the closing date for the sale of the Willows Pub is March 31 and council and city staff have done its best to speed up the process and make the necessary changes to the community plan. Thulin told council in February that even if the re-zoning didn’t go through, the pub will be closing on March 30. Council agreed it would rather alter the use of the site than have the building sit empty. “We have an existing business that is no longer viable and this is another way to have that building used,” Coun. Claire Moglove said at the Feb. 18 council meeting. “Is it the perfect use? In my view, absolutely not. But it’s not a negative use. I don’t think it adds to the neighbourhood but I don’t think it detracts from the neighbourhood.” Coun. Andy Adams said at that same meeting that he can’t see any “consideration that justifies denying (the) application.” While several residents in the Rockland Road neighbourhood have opposed the sale of the pub, the majority aren’t opposed to Storey Creek Trading moving in, rather they want the pub to carry on business as usual. Thulin said that’s not an option and she has yet to receive an offer to keep the pub operating as is.

The BC Government is proposing to ofﬂoad the province’s world-class recycling programs, run by local municipalities, to an association led by big multi-national corporations. The idea is that we’ll get a better, more efﬁcient program that costs taxpayers less.

Currently, BC homeowners only pay, on average, $35 a year for curbside recycling. Under the proposed regime, you’ll pay more. Every time you bring home a pizza, buy toilet paper,

Unfortunately, what we’ll really end up with is anyone’s guess.

How much more? Well, nobody’s saying.

The association isn’t guaranteeing that we’ll get a better program, or even one as good as the current Blue Box program already in place. Since the association is led by big businesses outside of BC, many of whom are not even headquartered in Canada, one could presume that proﬁts will come before environmental stewardship. They usually do. They also won’t guarantee that there won’t be any job cuts here in BC.

Here’s the only thing anyone does know: we already have a Blue Box program that works, is efficient, managed locally and puts the BC environment first. So why is the BC government flipping a coin, bringing in a questionable recycling program that some of our local elected officials are already calling a “scam?”

And how is this supposed to make things better for BC?

or pretty much anything else that comes in a package, businesses will be passing their increased costs on to you.

It’s time to contact Premier Clark and ask her.

What’s going on here?
