Peter Wipper, City of Campbell River City Clerk and Chief Elections Officer, used to have to bribe his kids with $20 and a dinner out at a restaurant to get them to go to the municipal all-candidates forums. He doesn’t have to anymore, though, as because of those bribes early in life, they now recognize the importance of the municipal elections process, and how important it is to know as much as they can about candidates before going to the polling station. “The more we can educate ourselves on the various candidates, the better positioned we are to vote with confidence, saying that ‘I believe in what that person says, and I want to use my vote to make sure that person gets to hold elected office,’” he said. “Voter turnout in Campbell River last time was 30 per cent,” he said, “and 30 per cent represents about the average across the province,” adding that, in general, the smaller the community, “the more intimate people are with the issues facing the community.” So why don’t people turn out to vote in municipal elections in larger centres? Why aren’t they intimate with the issues facing their community? Wipper cited a study conducted recently in Maple Ridge that cited, “too busy,” “unfamiliar with the candidates,” and, “my vote doesn’t matter,” as the top three reasons people used to express why they didn’t vote in the municipal election. The first excuse is essentially

ridiculous, Wipper said, considering how easy municipal elections officers are making it to ensure everyone eligible has a chance to engage in the process. In the upcoming Campbell River election, for example, not only are there three polling stations set up in very centralized locations in different areas of town (Sportsplex, Community Centre, and Discovery Passage School), also for a full 12 hours on Nov. 15, but there is also an advance polling station being set up downtown in Tyee Plaza for a full 12 hours on both Wednesday, Nov. 5 and Wednesday, Nov. 12. If none of those options work for you, there is a mail-in ballot option you can pick up any time at City Hall (you can even apply online and have it mailed). The second excuse, Wipper said, is completely legitimate, but it’s also easily avoidable. You probably shouldn’t vote if you aren’t informed about what the candidates stand for and how they’ll represent you, but you could easily learn

I’ve seen change happen because of that one person. Don’t ever, ever think that one person can’t make a difference. “Don’t ever think that your vote doesn’t count.”

Peter Wipper (at right), City of Campbell River City Clerk and Chief Elections Officer, tells a luncheon of the Young Professionals of Campbell River how he feels about municipal elections on Wednesday.

about them by showing up at any of the multiple all-candidates meetings held before the election (the Mirror is hosting one in conjunction with the Young Professionals of Campbell River on Nov. 6 at the Tidemark, for example), check out their bios, releases and stories in the local paper, using online sources that are compiling information, or even call them on the phone. “I have a lot of respect

for people who do that,” Wipper said. “Call up the candidates and engage with them one on one, or ask them questions directly when they see them around in the community. It’s really the best way to figure out who’s going to represent your interests on council if they’re elected.” Wipper also said he just doesn’t understand the mindset of people with the third excuse. That their vote doesn’t

matter. He said that one of the most rewarding things he does in his job is when he takes classes of children on tours of City Hall, and tells them about how government works. “I’ve seen it happen too many times to count,” he tells these kids, “where one person signs up to be a delegation, and sits before council and lets them know what they think about an issue, and

Regional board slow to update communications Storry, also a Campbell River city councillor, has pushed for webcasting before. In October 2012 directors discussed streaming board and committee meetings on its website to encourage greater elector participation. Some directors, however, were uncomfortable with being on film and said the cost of adding the cameras was too high. According to a staff report in 2012, the regional district would have incurred a one-time cost of $27,000 which includes $2,000 for four cameras that pan, tilt and zoom, $20,000 for one camera controller, as well as $3,500 for eight microphones and a mixer board, and $1,500 for equipment installation. Annual operating costs were estimated to

Kristen Douglas CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The Strathcona Regional District will consider webcasting its meetings but some directors aren’t biting at being on video just yet. At the Oct. 23 board of directors meeting, Director Claire Moglove put forward a motion to have the Strathcona Regional District meetings webcast as soon as possible. An amendment to the motion, that the issue of webcasting be instead considered at a strategic planning session of the board, was ruled out of order. As a compromise, the board agreed to defer the issue of webcasting its meetings to the 2015 budget discussions – a motion that was opposed by Director Mary Storry.

be between $15,500 and $20,500. Jude Schooner, director representing Tahsis, said at the time that she thought the cameras were a “good thing because it does speak to transparency” but said that the price tag to maintain the system was “astronomical.” Storry suggested the regional district look at a cheaper model – with less cameras and zoom features – but directors shied away from a basic model, much to Storry’s dismay. “We have to grow with the new technology and to not have it on our website is a really oldfashioned way to go,” Storry said. “I think we need to go back and see if there’s a less expensive way to do it.”

Now, two years later, the regional district is still trying to figure out the best way to proceed. Staff at the regional district are in the process of implementing a communications strategy and as part of that program launched a new website in February and hired a communications staffer. The changes follow a communications audit of the Strathcona Regional District in 2011 by Acumen Communications Group which regional district CAO Russ Hotsenpiller said revealed “an organization with a low public profile and the need for a strategic communications and engagement strategy targeting internal, external, stakeholder and board of director communications.”

Our View

Taking Halloween precautions is resonable This year, the annual celebration of Halloween will collide with the beginning of the weekend, a Friday night. Weekends and Halloween can be a potent mix sometimes, as the activities We say: Think of young trick-or-treaters collide with ahead and have those of adults who want to celebrate a happy and safe the end of a work week, and in the case of Halloween, often use it as an Halloween occasion for a party. Many children, of course, love the experience of dressing up and going door-to-door, and there are plenty of ways for them to stay safe. Parents should accompany them,

and wearing some type of reflective clothing and carrying flashlights is very helpful as well. While trick or treating usually doesn’t go on too late, drivers need to be very careful tonight. The weather has not been particularly great and it will be very dark, no matter what weather conditions are. Taking some extra precautions will be a good idea. As fireworks are not being sold in most areas as part of Halloween any longer, there are fewer issues involving their misuse. Nonetheless, there are always a few individuals who manage to get their hands on some fireworks, so caution is encouraged — both for those who

set off fireworks, and for those who are in the vicinity. Police and fire department personnel usually expect a busy Halloween and are likely to be out in force, so those contemplating illegal activities might wish to keep that in mind. Thinking ahead about how to enjoy Halloween in a safe and responsible way is a good way to ensure that all goes well. It can be a fun evening, but at the same time, it is good to take precautions, given some of the things that inevitably happen that evening — and the fall weather and darkness. -Black Press

‘Lone Rangers and cowboys don’t work’ We’re two weeks out from the municipal election. Really, Davies? You’re going to go off about how, “we should engage with the political process,” and that “our vote matters,” and that “we need to ensure that our elected officials are our voice,” again? Yes. Yes I am. Peter Wipper, the City of Campbell River City Clerk and Chief Elections Officer gave a talk earlier this week at a Young Professionals of Campbell River event about his role in elections, why he’s so passionate about municipal politics, and how people should engage with the process. He said some interesting things about what makes a

Find the cowboys (and cowgirls) and find the team players who will negotiate, be open-minded, and work as a part of a larger group to find common ground top get things accomplished. Then go vote for those people on Nov. 15.

The Campbell River and District for Association is very excited about the changes and improvements within the organization. By the end of October all of the Associations Children’s Services will be located at their newly renovated 301 Dogwood building. The location will be known as “Dogwood Place: Child and Youth Development Center.” There are various children services available through the Association for families in the Campbell River area that range from early childhood to transition into adulthood. Firstly, there is the Sunrise Resources program. This program focuses on early childhood development including speech/language therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy and infant development. Another program that is centered on early ages (birth to 12 years) is the Supported Child Development Program. This program provides support and assists families in individual planning for their family members with special abilities; it sets many goals including working towards the individual to fully participate in the inclusive child care programs. The Association’s Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) program provides support to new born children and up to age 19. This program is for individuals who are diagnosed with or are suspected of having FASD. This program offers information and advice on how to access the different services available, such as financial resources, education, social resources, health etc. This program is funded by the Ministry for Children and Family Development and administered by the Campbell River and District Association for Community Living. Lastly, the Association offers the Community Access Services program. This program provides support to individuals aged 10 through 19. The purpose of this program is to support individuals to take part in leisure and recreational activities in their community. The program focuses on peer socialization and interaction. This program also supports children in their transition to adulthood. The Association would like to remind the Campbell River Community that October is Community Living Month, and information on all of their services can be found online at www.cradacl.bc.ca.

Hatchery’s water threatened MikeDavies Davies Mike Reporter Reporter

As a growing community, we in Campbell River need to maintain a careful watch over the things we value the most. Two of those valuable resources are threatened by a planned development near McIvor Lake. Our drinking water and the water that supplies Quinsam Hatchery may both be at risk. A prop o s e d s oi l remediation facility at Uplands Excavating could potentially contaminate the type 11A aquifer situated directly below the intended site. Because of the level of treatment proposed and the plan to store and use post-treated materials for fill in the gravel pit area, there exists a high probability of leachates making their way into the aquifer below, the same aquifer that feeds Cold Creek, the valuable source of Quinsam

Hatchery’s groundwater supply. According to maps supplied by Terrawest Environmental, the technical assessment consultants hired by Uplands Excavating, that same aquifer is contiguous with McIvor Lake, our source of drinking water. As with all environmental concerns there are technical details. Simplified they distill down to this; the site is zoned Industrial 3 and the developer believes that is all he requires for the soil treatment. However, because the treated soil will be used as fill in the existing sand and gravel pits we are of the opinion that this is a landfill and therefore the land needs to be classified as Industrial 4. A public meeting is required to facilitate this change in land use. Also sections of the industrial

waste management act state that landfills should not be located near class 1A and 11A aquifers. With respect to the treatment site itself, the design and operational plan looks comprehensive, however the target treatment level is Industrial which allows for 100 times the level of residual contamination (chemicals still in the soil after treatment) of the target level designated as Agricultural, which is the least contaminate target level of treated soil. It is this Industrial level treated soil that will be stored in the old gravel pit, with no liner, directly above the aquifer that feeds Cold Creek and is connected to McIvor Lake, the source of our drinking water. So who can we contact to make sure our concerns are considered? According to the Hon.

DaveHamilton Hamilton Dave Publisher Publisher

R. Neufeld, if the site is on private land, then the bylaws or zoning of a municipal or regional district will actually apply. Since this business is within the City of Campbell River our local law makers should have the final say. However, the process is now with the provincial government’s Ministry of Environment and letters to Minister Mary Polak as well as Forest, Lands and Natural Resources Minister Steve Thompson, would also shine a light on the importance we attach to our water and fish resources.

Memorial landmarks may not last forever KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Park benches and picnic tables purchased through the city in memory of loved ones may soon be given expiry dates. That’s because the Legac y Landmarks program, established in 2001, has become so popular that the city says it is running out of space to put the memorials. The solution? The city will maintain the landmarks for 25 years, and then make the space available to another leasee if the current owner chooses to give up the memorial.

Trina Soltys, with the city’s parks department, said that the city was able to get in touch with 144 of the 180 donors who currently have memorial items. A total of 43 agreed to the changes while 75 had no response. Only one respondent did not agree while 18 letters were returned as address unknown and seven people checked off the option marked as ‘other’ on the city’s questionnaire. Soltys said the city sent a mailout outlining the proposed changes to the donors. “In the letter, it was acknowledged that existing furniture items would stay in place

until no longer in serviceable condition,” Soltys wrote in a report to city council. “An average life span for a bench/table has been estimated at 25 years.” If council approves the changes to the program, when a donor purchases a memorial item it will be good for 15 years; the city will replace the bench or table if it sustains damage beyond repair before those 15 years have passed. At the end of the 15-year term, the donor has the option to renew for an additional 10 years for a maintenance fee of $500. After the 25 years is

up, the bench or table space will be made available for renewal for the cost of a new donation, with the first right of refusal given to the original donor. Since the program began 13 years ago, not only is space becoming an issue, but also the cost to the city to put up the memorials. “The cost of purchase, delivery and installation of park benches and picnic tables has increased,” Soltys said. “While it is important to recognize that these items benefit the entire community, staff is recommending that rates are increased to better reflect current costs and reduce taxpayer invest-

ment in the program.” Staff is proposing to up the cost of a park bench from $1,800 to $2,500, with the city subsidizing $769 of the cost. Staff is also recommending upping the price of a picnic table, from $2,000 to $3,000, with a city subsidy of $1,373. Although the donor is paying to purchase the item, Soltys said that once the bench or table is purchased it becomes a donation to the community to use

and enjoy. “Once donated, the furniture item belongs to the city and (does) not have the same permanence as a grave marker,” Soltys said.

into the program, city staff have come to the conclusion that the program may be more trouble than it’s worth. “Many communities have had programs such as this and are choosing to discontinue them due to the challenges related to implementation such as vandalism, limited locations with required irrigation, problems with pests and disease, and lack of financial and human resources to care for the trees,” Soltys said.

Alternative memorials Over the past couple of years, city council and community members have suggested the city look into creating a memorial tree program. Soltys, though, said after some research

A Look Back

THE HISTORY OF THE CAMPBELL RIVER AREA More than just names in stone: A look behind the exhibit Our Cenotaph

INTO

The diaries of Elmer Oswald (left) provided one of those rare glimpses into the personality of the writer. The museum’s current exhibit looks into the names on the Campbell River Cenotaph (right).

BETH BOYCE CURATOR, MUSEUM AT CAMPBELL RIVER

ike many newcomers to Campbell River, when I first went to Spirit Square and saw the Cenotaph, I was struck by how many men were listed there. Campbell River was a very small community at the outset of World War I and not too much larger during World War II, and to have so many men from this community lost fighting in those wars was unexpected. However, the names listed did not have much meaning for me beyond their number as none of the names were familiar. I did not know any of these men who died between 70 and 100 years ago or their families. When the Museum was seeking a way to acknowledge the 100th Anniversary of the First World War, we considered many different possibilities and one of the suggestions mentioned was to partner with the Campbell River Genealogy Society. The Genealogy Society has been working since 2007 on a research project to uncover the identities of the men listed on our Cenotaph. The Society has spent years combing through documents to discover the stories of their lives before the

war, their activities during the war, and the circumstances of their deaths. This project hit a chord with me, as I felt it was really important to know about the lives of these men so that they could become more than just a list of names. There are 19 men listed on our Cenotaph, and each one has a story to tell. Robert Booth changed his name to Robert Watson after jumping ship off the coast of Northern Vancouver Island in 1907, a deserter from the Royal Navy. He worked as a logger on the Island until 1915 when Robert volunteered for service overseas. Robert was later discharged during training in Vancouver for “misconduct.” Not to be dissuaded however,

four days later he enlisted again in another community, changing his occupation from logger to blacksmith. Robert had no family in Campbell River and instead named Charles Thulin, owner of the Willows Hotel, as his heir. His true name and identity were not discovered until after his death. My own theory is that it was his tattoos which lead to this discovery. Any identifying marks on a person’s body were described in their enlistment papers in order to help identify them if the worst should happen, and Robert’s tattoos were noted both in his army enlistment papers, and in his much earlier navy enlistment papers, in one case with a doodle to accompany the description. In many cases, very little remains of the men who died in the wars, just a collection of documents: their enlistment papers, records of service, maybe a couple of photographs. It can be quite stark, piecing together their

lives from such scraps. In rare cases though, something of the person comes though when diaries and letters written during their lifetimes have been preserved. Elmer Oswald was one such man; his mother kept every single one of the letters he wrote home during his service and they were later donated to the Museum. It was very personal for me, reading Elmer’s letters to his mother. He was in his early twenties while serving in the Royal Canadian Airforce in Britain during the Second World War, and was not allowed to tell his mother about his military activities. He could not even tell her his exact location; he was constantly being moved, and his only address was ‘Overseas.’ Most of his let-

ters were filled with questions about what was going on at home and describing what he got up to on his leave time. On June 3, 1944 he wrote, “It’s good to hear that everything at home is OK. With Dad and John fishing I guess it will be a bit quiet though...We don’t do a great deal of flying, so we’re not overworked. Right now I’m in a hotel by the sea and am living like a king...The heavy sweater you sent quite a while ago sure is just what I need. I wear it every nite I’m flying. I have that 4-leaf clover you sent me in my wallet. It’s doing a good job too...I’m not going to buy a motor-bike, it would be more trouble than it’s worth. Anyways they’re dangerous, not like an aeroplane, it’s foolproof.” Elmer’s last letter was written on March 1, 1945, only six days before his plane was shot down over Holland. It is important for our community to honour these men by listing their names on a plaque on our Cenotaph, and it has been important to the Museum and to the Genealogy Society to honour these men further by giving each man listed his own plaque in order to tell his individual story. The exhibit “Our Cenotaph” is now on display at the Museum, and will be open free of charge on Remembrance Day from noon to five.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER OCTOBER 31, 31, 2014 2014 || CAMPBELL CAMPBELL RIVER RIVER MIRROR MIRROR || 15 15 FRIDAY,

Join local author and historian Catherine Gilbert at the Museum at Campbell River on Saturday, Nov. 8 from 1-2:30 p.m., for a fascinating pictorial presentation about the many vessels that served on Canada’s coasts during World War II. While doing research for her book Yorke Island

and the Uncertain War, Gilbert became intrigued with the boats and their crews that performed marine services during the war, from patrolling the coast as part of the Fisherman’s Reserve to supplying defence sites as part of the army’s’ Royal Canadian Army Service Corps. She will also discuss

the role of the Royal Canadian Airforce’s marine squadrons that performed both supply and rescue duties. Local fishermen, tugboaters and master mariners alike, were all members of this vast fleet that patrolled our western shores on the lookout for Japanese subs and ships, and Gilbert has uncov-

ered both humorous and exhilarating stories of their adventures. Gilbert will share her photos and findings at this talk, which coincides with the Museum’s exhibit honouring the men on Campbell River’s Cenotaph. Cost is $6 per person. Call the Museum at 250-2873103 to reserve a seat.

Grappling with industrial manufacturing Mike Davies CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

fter over five years of research and development, a revolutionary $1.3-million “Made-in-Campbell River” piece of forestry equipment has been shipped to its buyer. “The whole world is watching this,” said George Lambert, President of T-Mar Industries, who developed the new grapple yarder. “New Zealand knows about this. The U.S. is watching this. The whole world is paying attention to this project, so it’s a really great thing for Campbell River. It’s really exciting.” According to Lambert, old-growth forests and second-growth forests present different challenges to foresters, and yet there was until now only one type of yarder to do both types of jobs. Second-growth forests, he said, are more unified, since all the trees in an area will be the same age, which has some advantages, but some disadvantages, as well. “The equipment traditionally used is designed for old-growth,” he said. “They’re bigger machines, and they weren’t quite as efficient (at harvesting smaller-growth logs). We wanted to build a machine that would handle smaller log sizes more quickly, efficiently,

and be safer.” What they came up with is the Log Champ 550, which Lambert said he thinks will likely be the new benchmark set in the industry. “If people want to be in this business, they’re going to have to go down this path,” he said. That’s because it’s not just that the machine is just better at dealing with smaller and more uniform logs that is making the world sit up and take notice. “We also wanted a machine that could be transported much easier,” Lambert said. “There’s an overall shipping length that you’re restricted to on the highway, so we had to make the machine as compact as we could lengthwise and still get everything in it we needed, and at the same time, we had to make a machine that had inherently good balance. “The bigger machines obviously have transportation challenges around their size and weight. You have to take them apart to move them on the highway (because of the transportation regulations). That’s time and expense that isn’t spent logging. Essentially the cost of doing business goes up. “One of our targets with this machine was that the machine, when assembled, with lines on it, would be legal to transport on the highway in one piece.”

Mike Davies/The Mirror

The first ever $1.3-million, “Made-in-Campbell River” Log Champ 550, rolled down the highway to its buyer Oct. 22.

Another focus of the design crew was to make the machine more efficient. With the increasing cost of fuel motivating efficiencies in the industry, they wanted to reduce the amount of fuel we were using per cubic meter of wood moved. Part of that was putting all the parts on a smaller frame, and part was removing “parasitic load,” or wasteful energy use. “We also wanted to make a new, modern user control system,” Lambert said, listing off the new features of the yarder. “We’ve got a new workforce that needs to be trained that is more computer literate. We wanted to make something they’d be a bit more used to and was

more intuitive for them.” For example, there are aspects of the machine that could be used remotely. “There may be some situations where the fella who’s out there hook tending may want to take over the control of the machine for some reason,” Lambert explained. “Suppose he sees a situation that’s unsafe, where wood is moving and people could get injured,” he said. In a situation like that, the person on the ground might have a remote override to stop the machine, for example. Another function of the updated computerized controls is the ability to implement a “repeat system” where the operator would

record a function, and then have the machine repeat it as many times as necessary to complete a job. “It’s not technology that’s not known, or anything, it’s just never been applied in this way.” Lambert feels that projects like these are important for the community as a whole – that it’s not just T-Mar that should be celebrating this achievement. “I think it’s important for B.C. to continue to be a world leader in the manufacture and design of this type of equipment. We have been for a long time, and we kind of lost that a little bit in the past few years. We have the intellectual power here to do it, so we were determined to kind of help wrestle that back,” he said. “I think it’s very important for Campbell River specifically in the sense that for us to have a strong manufacturing base like this here in our community is an important thing. It’s something we can build on.” The first Log Champ 550 shipped on Oct. 22, but Lambert said he expects they can make three or four per year for the next 15 or 20 years as the project moves forward and the design continues to evolve, making it a long-term project that will help support to the economic future of the region.

Hydro preps for rain

The ongoing rain events have continued to add water into the upstream Campbell River reservoirs. Since its low point one week into October, the Upper Campbell Reservoir/Buttle Lake has risen four metres. The level is now approaching the upper bounds of the reservoir and considering the continued and modest wet weather ahead, on Thursday morning, BC Hydro doubled the spill down Elk Falls Canyon to 85 m3/s. This is being done to proactively control the reservoir level and for flood risk management, said Stephen Watson, BC Hydro spokesperson. “As the reservoir rises, our operational flexibility in the amount of water to spill over what duration of time becomes limited.” BC Hydro initiated a spill last week in consideration of the wet weather and even with the increased flow, the duration of the spill may last to Remembrance Day.

Horse Whispering comes to Campbell River

Corinne Matheson and her horse Zena train in a newly-built natural light arena at Mystic Woods Equestrian Center at 4737 Gordon Road. Matheson uses Natural Horsemanship techniques – also known as Horse Whispering – in which the animal is encouraged to learn rather than be forced to obey. Matheson said the fabric-covered steel frame structure is the only facility of its kind in the Campbell River area and an Open House is being held this weekend, Nov. 1-2, for the public to come and see the facility and learn about natural horsmanship. Also, read the November issue of Wave magazine to read all about this fascinating field of horse training.

Vote Locally The old adage “If you don’t vote, don’t complain” certainly doesn’t seem to apply to local government. Everyone has an opinion on local government whether it’s something as simple as a traffic light in an inconvenient place or a multi-million dollar budget that includes increases in taxes. This is good. Local government affects residents lives directly and because it’s taxpayers’ money being used, taxpayers have a right to express their opinion. The best way they can express their opinion is by voting in local government elections. On Nov. 15, voters in the City of Campbell River, School District 72 and the Strathcona Regional District get to express their opinion on how to run their community. Unfortunately, the majority of potential voters don’t take that opportunity. But elections are the most direct way for the public to directly influence their local government, according to the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development. During the election process, candidates generally outline their platforms and objectives if they were to be elected. By choosing the candidates with the ideals and qualities that are most acceptable to the electors, citizens can directly influence the type of communi-

It is so rewarding to be involved in helping others and to meet and work alongside remarkable Campbell Riverites. What a generous community we live in!

A taxpayer in Campbell River since 1976, Walter and his wife Eunice are parents to three adult children. Semi-retired, Walter is an entrepreneur and small business owner. At 62 years old Walter is a member of the Board of Directors - Island Community Economic Trust (ICET), is a working volunteer at the Habitat for Humanity – duplex build site. In 2012 he was presented with a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Award. He began his career as project engineer at Elk Falls Pulp and Paper, and worked his way up through the Engineering and Maintenance departments. In 1995, Walter moved to Alberni Specialties Papermill and eventually was Operations Manager. He later retired at 55 years from Elk Falls mill in 2007. Walter describes Campbell River City as more than concrete, garbage and water – it is people/taxpayers, workers, professional managers, business owners, tourists, and investors. He recognizes the vibrancy and diversity of the population, and suggests that although we each have different needs, we all deserve to be heard and respected. He recognizes that citizens already know the issues and confusion facing the City, and intends to focus on a clear and positive direction that works within our financial abilities while lowering costs. His first term as Mayor showed how difficult this has been, and demonstrates his determination. Campbell River needs to appeal to the investment community by offering clear goals, long-term direction, stability, strong leadership, and a receptive atmosphere. As taxes stabilize and attitudes change, the world will see that Campbell River has Oceans of Opportunity! Together, let’s get Campbell River working again!

STEVE WOODS Campbell River born and raised; twice elected City Councillor served 19931999. The positive leadership role I played on Council delivered the Sportsplex, Community Hall, Norm Wood Environmental Centre, RCMP Building, additional sheets of ice and swimming pool at Strathcona Gardens, and saved the Outdoor Pool at Centennial Park. I’m proud of our Seawalk and property purchased for Dick Murphy Park, both highlight the natural beauty in our Oceanside community. We worked effectively and respectfully under Mayor Lornie’ leadership, learning the importance of building positive relationships within Council, City Hall, and stakeholders. I commit to listen, advocate, and take action to achieve results for the youngest child to seniors who deserve quality of life with affordable levels of Services and Programs. To protect current levels of services and programs; and lay groundwork to achieve a zero tax hike in our second year of budget deliberations if possible, I’ll initiate a City wide Organizational Review to find efficiencies and cost savings. Recognizing our families desires to live and work in CR, I’ll form an Environment, Industry & Job Creation Committee, to emphasize and sustain good paying long-term, local jobs. This is my home that I love; I take politics seriously, and commit to full-time Leadership. Moving forward, I’ll rebuild positive relationships through community input, effective strategic planning, and a respectful cohesive working environment within our City, our home. Voting criteria is a minimum 18-years of age, Canadian Citizenship, and lived in CR for 6-months. Thank you for your consideration and most importantly, Vote!

election! ’14 Campbell River City Council BABCHUK, Michele

BRAY, Bob

CHRISTIAN, David

CORNFIELD, Charlie

CRADDOCK, Andrea

After three consecutive terms serving School District 72, Michele Babchuk has decided to throw her hat in the ring for a seat on city council. “I am very excited about this opportunity,” said Babchuk. “My intention now is to use my leadership, team building skills and work ethic to bring respectful communication and public accountability to council chambers. “After almost a decade on Campbell River’s school board I feel I have contributed greatly to the students, parents and community of Campbell River,” continued Babchuk. “I am honoured to have been able to serve as board chair for the past three years and vice-chair for the four years prior. I am proud to be leaving the board of education in a good position, a position that the future board can build on.” Babchuk plans to work within council and with community stakeholders to explore responsible transparent taxation, community-oriented economic development so families can thrive, and remain in Campbell River, and practice educated and informed decision making that is in the best interest of the city as a whole.

Bob Bray is a seasoned manager with an MBA that he has applied to business, non-profits and the education field. He stands for reasonable spending, lower taxes, efficiency and top quality results. He does his research and analyzes situations with residents, tourists and investors in mind. Bob is part of the CHOICE working group. He has been asked if a citizen has to vote for all four members of the CHOICE team. He answers no, of course not. If however, a citizen wants what Walter Jakeway and what Bob, David, Marcia and Jim have been offering, then yes, they need to vote for all four CHOICE working group members. The four of us declare openly and in advance that we are a working group. If we have the opportunity we will be generally supportive of Walter Jakeway’s initiatives. We are excited about the possibilities for our city.

David has lived in Campbell River from the age of 3. He is happily married for 23 years, with one young adult Daughter. • Owner of a small commercial fishing business. • Owner of a boat repair business ( Shipwright). • President of the CR Harbour Authority. He has lived the restructuring of the resource based economy, and understands the importance of carefully planning for a sustainable future by recognizing opportunities in economic diversity, sound financial planning, and recognizing strengths and successes. He has been a Director with the C.R.H.A. For 15 years, last 3 years as President. Through this experience he has become familiar with budgets, capitol spending, human resources, legal challenges, and working with other levels of government, and managing revenues by spending within our means. David feels he has gained valuable incites by meeting with the group of candidates known as CHOICE. Voters should know they have invested their own valuable time talking about Community issues. From that they have discovered a list of common issues they feel should be promoted. As well they have discovered prior to the election how well they work together putting the communities interest first. “When a community is managed within its means, it benefits everyone”.

People call me Charlie. A recently retired widower, married 42 years to Heather, with 2 grown children. I am currently running for Councillor--and not for Mayor-due to the recent death of my wife. Island born and raised, I worked in the Forestry and Conservation sectors throughout BC, moving to Campbell River In 1991. I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience; With 12 years on Council— including one term as Mayor, and a proven record for achieving results. Including: • the $20 million Hwy 19A improvements and airport expansion, (on time and budget, no borrowing money) • the BC Hydro project and the newhospital. Campbell River needs a cooperative Council making good decisions and producing positive results. My previous experience could best be utilized in mentoring a harmonious team, sharing my understanding of local government and achieving results. I am passionate about this community and ask for your support.

Creating and sustaining a Healthy Community is what City Council should be about. There needs to be a willingness to respectfully make decisions that best reflect the needs of our people as well as industry, commerce and the environment. My years on the Labour Council have taught me that finding a balance takes hard work, active listening, thorough research and constructive debate. Exploring ways to improve life for all should be City Council’s goal. Working in our school system has shown me how poverty, lack of affordable housing, addiction, unemployment and declining services impact families. We have a growing senior demographic and many are forced to relocate due to lack of affordable long term care. Ongoing consultation with agencies, services and our First Nations involved could lead to solutions. Campbell River needs a clear plan for sustainable growth. It is an exciting time for Campbell River with the dam upgrade and construction of our new hospital. Council needs to look at creative ways to improve opportunities for more sustainable, good paying jobs. Helping to build a strong localized economy benefits everyone.

I’m Larry Samson, and I’m running for a second term as City Councillor. Why? Because Campbell River needs a voice at

JONES, Todd

KERR, Ron

KLOBUCAR, Peter

LENGYEL, Les

I have the proven leadership skills to make a positive difference in our community and together, build a stronger Campbell River that balances future growth, preserving our history, lifestyle and local values that we hold dear. As a senior executive, I bring extensive expertise in community, business and economic development. Having managed multimillion dollar budgets, I understand fiscal responsibility, accountability and making sure that every dollar is well spent. My professional career extends across sectors that include education, health care, arts and culture and community services. I’ve served as a volunteer on the boards of many local organizations including our Museum, NIEFS, Tidemark Theatre and Community Foundation. Working together with our community, I have a solid understanding of how Campbell River is changing, what our challenges are and the opportunities that lie ahead. As a past small business owner, I understand the importance of a positive business climate and creating local jobs that our families depend on. I am excited about the opportunity to participate in this election and the possibility to serve the citizens of Campbell River.

Who am I? • Married, 38 year old father • Home owner • Third generation to live in Campbell River • Licensed Commercial Transport Mechanic and certified Heavy Equipment Operator • A citizen invested in the future of Campbell River Why am I running for council? I love Campbell River and know that it can be an even greater place to live, work and play. I want to improve the lives of Campbell River community members by proposing a 2 year property tax freeze and creating a long-term plan to entice new business and growth. Campbell River is reaching only limited potential because of the disconnect between City Hall and both the business community and the citizens of this community. I do not have all the answers but I am prepared to listen to the people of Campbell River and provide new vision and leadership to help make our great city more successful and prosperous.

As your Councilor I have dedicated myself for the past three years to moving important issues forward. I believe decisions made by Council must reflect opinions of all sectors and individuals. I am a passionate, skilled liaison and I will continue to work hard to represent you on issues that present difficult solutions. Important to me is safety and security, more sustainable jobs supporting young families and keeping taxes firmly in check. As well, encouraging business and industry and consideration of social and environmental concerns is at the forefront of my decisions. We have achieved great results with • Our traditional Homelessness • Communication and partnerships with First Nations • Neighborhood improvements, revitalizations • Cultural District improvements • Ongoing assistance for Seniors I am committed to being your full time independent voice on council. I believe that our growth will continue to reflect our values for prosperity. I respectfully ask for your vote.

If elected, Klobucar will aim for a four-year property tax freeze for homeowners and business owners. Klobucar says he will also say ‘no’ to an LNG plant for Campbell River. He also has a vision for a full-time market with foods, crafts, and music along the river front all year round. Klobucar says as city councillor he would support the SPCA in full and add two dog parks. Klobucar is against artificial turf at Robron Park because of health concerns for children and the cost to the city. “As your councillor, I will be openminded, hard working, willing to listen to others, willing to discuss and solve the important issues that need to be solved in order to make Campbell River number one in growth and prosperity,” Klobucar says. “I don’t waste my money and I won’t waste yours.”

When I was seven years old, I lost my left arm and the partial use of my right arm in an electrical accident. Instead of letting this slow me down, I have made “Do more with less” my life’s philosophy. I have had successful careers in accounting, retail and major resource industries. I moved to Campbell River 20 years ago to manage the Georgia Park residential development. My community service has included presiding over the Chamber of Commerce, Daybreak Rotary, the Museum, various city commissions. One of my major accomplishments was to have the Inland Island Highway built as four lanes instead of two. I care about Campbell River and want to help the city grow in a sustainable manner, capitalizing on our potential and our natural beauty. I am a team player and will be cooperative, while asking pertinent questions, then supportive of a majority decision. My financial and business experience will allow me to analyze city budgets to find ways to do more with less.

MOGLOVE, Claire

PARNELL, Jim

SAMSON, Larry

STEWART, Ziggy

Marcia McKay has worked for federal, provincial and municipal governments and is herself a small business owner. She knows how to streamline bureaucratic processes and advocates ePermits and cutting red tape. Marcia wants a stable tax rate, starting with an immediate reduction of 5%. She would replace Rivercorp with an economic development officer, and cut out further consultant reports. The lights on Dogwood would be adjusted to serve current traffic patterns, and we’d have a boat ramp that isn’t tide-dependent. Campbellton needs sprucing up, and we can do a better job of maintaining our parks and the SeaWalk. She wants a permanent Seniors Centre and more affordable housing. She believes in transparency and dialogue, and won’t sign blank cheques for Hydro’s benefit. She would revisit demolishing the old hospital. Hard-working, and with a common sense approach, Marcia wants to be part of the solution and not waste taxpayer dollars.

It has been a true honour to have served on City Council for two terms. I am a Family Law lawyer specializing in mediation, collaboration and negotiation. Skills that I have learned as a lawyer/ mediator have served me well at the Council table - research skills, listening skills and cooperation. When I think about where the City was 6 years ago and even 3 years ago, I am amazed at what has been accomplished. We have had significant challenges, particularly those associated with the closure of the Mill. But look at where we are now. The new hospital and BC Hydro Project have started construction, Downtown is undergoing a remarkable transformation, Willow Point has had a makeover and Campellton is on its way! There is a real sense of optimism in the City. It is rewarding to know that I may have played a small part in those successes. If re-elected, I will continue to work hard and I will always put the future of Campbell River at the heart of any decision I make.

Jim Parnell will run for a seat on City Council as part of the CHOICE slate. Parnell is the married father of three boys. He and his family are currently fostering four children. He moved back to Campbell River from Red Deer, Alberta in 2004. Parnell is 40 years old and works at Quinsam Coal, where he is also the president of USW Local 9347. He has served as president for two three-year terms and has served on the bargaining committee for the last nine years. He is a member of the Occupational Health and Safety Committee, and the Mine Rescue Team. He has worked on the dock at Painter’s Lodge, been a nightshift labourer at Walcan Seafood, and has been a salesman at Spinner’s Sports. He worked as a production manager/applicator at Foamco Industries and with Adventure Foaming. His duties as president require that he assist in disputes and act ex officio in any committee. He oversees all spending within the local, and manages donations from the local.

Larry Samson wants a second term at City Hall. Building on the work accomplished during his first term, he sees a positive time ahead for Campbell River: “Strategic economic growth that considers the needs of the whole City adds depth and value to what the City offers its residents.” In his first term as City Councillor Larry chaired the Public Safety Subcommittee, focussing on issues that often accompany urban growth. If re-elected, Larry wants to create a Community Health Network that brings all health-related services and programs under one umbrella for easier access by families, youth, and seniors. Born and raised in Campbell River, Larry’s long career with the Fire Department taught him to adapt efficiently to changing situations. A longtime volunteer in the community, he sees issues from multiple perspectives – and is committed to a policy of inclusion, accountability, and fiscal responsibility in his second term at City Hall.

Three years ago, having served six years as a Councillor I made a bid to be elected Mayor. Although l was not successful in that election being away from Council for the past three years has given me time to reflect on low much I enjoyed being a City Councillor I am a team player and welcomed working with my colleagues on Council but I was also willing, from time to time, to challenge Mayor and Council on issues coming before Council. I would like to help the incoming Mayor work toward controlling taxation levels and finding new ways to fund projects. Many challenges and opportunities will face your new Council and I believe I have the experience and skills to help the new Council get the job done.

STRIGA, Darryn

WRIGHT, Marlene

Darryn Striga is 31 and has been a resident since he was three years old. They say it takes a village to raise a child, and Campbell River was that village for Darryn. Being past President of the Daybreak Rotary Club, acting president of the Tidemark Theatre Society, a member of the Young Professionals Network and an active volunteer with the Campbellton Neighbourhood Association, he’s never stopped giving back to the village that raised him and has no intention of stopping any time soon. That’s why, with your help, he’s seeking a seat on council - as a continuation of his efforts to look out for and ensure our community’s best interests. He spent six years working in Business Operations at Mount Washington and is currently working for BCHydro on the John Hart project, but he would like to take on city projects like completing the downtown connection for the Seawalk. Vote for Darryn Striga to ensure a balanced City Council that represents everyone.

Marlene Wright, a long-time Campbell River businesswoman sees a bright future for Campbell River. Marlene’s business background includes Beaver Lumber and later Work World. She also ventured into investment management with Investors Group and Scotiabank where she gained invaluable experience as an investment advisor. Her leadership and communication skills, and her ability to work with diversity are a great asset for Campbell River. Marlene is a past president of the Campbell River Salmon Kings and Killer Whales swim clubs, the Professional Women’s Network, Rotary club, and Toastmasters. Marlene strongly believes we must: • promote and market a positive image, • protect the Campbell River lifestyle, • encourage efficient use of our natural resources, • support development but in a vigilant manner, • provide better services for seniors, • manage taxes in an efficient manner. Marlene’s experience, passion and commitment to serve our community will enhance our economy, environment and social needs. “The future is ours.”

MAYORAL CANDIDATES ● ANDY ADAMS: I am in favor of reviewing the services currently provided to confirm that they are either a required core service, or a desired ser vice, a n d ensure that they are being operated and delivered in the most cost effective manner possible. Council will also review requests for new or additional services as requested by the citizens and must balance between the desired, versus the need, versus the impact on taxation. Through the review process that is part of financial planning, services that are deemed redundant or not essential may be eliminated, and others will be investigated as to how they may be adjusted to reduce operating costs. With collective agreements, contracts for services, and utilities such as Hydro, Fortis, oil and gasoline all increasing, any reduction or freezing of city taxation will result in a deficit that must be accounted for, either by a reduction of

services from personnel, programs, equipment, facility maintenance, or any combination. As mayor, I would advocate for council to analyze all avenues for cost reduction and the creation of a strategic plan that supports fair taxation and services. ● WALTER JAKEWAY: No tax increases are necessary for the next three years and no services need to be cut. There a r e nu m e rous costs t h a t c an b e reduced with no effect on customer services. The last two years have seen sizeable surplus(es) at city financial year end, which means too much tax was collected and not spent. The surplus(es) were quietly put into reserves (saving accounts). ● STEVE WOOD: With respect to cutting services to prev e n t a tax increase. Let me be clear on this

important issue directly effecting the health, well being of our children, youth, seniors, property taxpayers and community. I commit to maintain current levels of services and programs within the present fiscal boundaries. We will achieve this with a new elected mayor and councillors, who dedicate to a renewed collective will, working respectfully and cohesively together. I’m confident and will recommend an immediate city-wide organizational and core services review that will find cost savings and efficiencies, to maintain current levels of services. It worked in the 1990’s while serving as city councillor, and why it hasn’t been done in 20 years by previous councils is unknown. For incumbent or new candidates to suggest a zero tax hike in the 2015 budget discussions, without devastating cuts to services, is frankly, not being forthright. My commitment is to listen, and provide Leadership with public input, particularly given the repeated huge property tax increases not acceptable to seniors and others on fixed incomes. A new city council will work effectively, with an objective to achieve a

Thanks for your consideration, and most importantly, exercise your right to vote! COUNCILLOR CANDIDATES ● MICHELE BABCHUK: From knocking on doors in town, what is becoming increasingly apparent to me is that the citizens of Campb e l l River have an expectation of service levels from their city. What I am consistently hearing is that the large tax increases have been difficult to absorb into daily family budgets and that levels of services have not changed or in some cases seem to have decreased. These are fine balances that are difficult to achieve. You will have a group of candidates tell you that they are going to decrease taxes and increase services. These

are ambiguous campaign promises that I can’t, in good conscience, come out and say. I believe in “Responsible Transparent Taxation” that allows the community to have an understanding and input into how and why the levels of taxation are set. Instead of making empty promises, I’d like to have a meaningful dialogue with the community to, at a minimum, slow the tax increases down and still maintain an acceptable level of services to our community. We have to choose to make decisions that are right, not that are easy. There is no magic bullet that can fix this issue immediately so everything should be on the table so we don’t miss any opportunities. Being proactive as opposed to reactive will allow council to plan into the future. ● BOB BRAY: No, I am not in favour of cutting services. I am fully aware that existing services are established over time to m e e t identified needs. M o s t services, however, can b e delivered more econom-

ically and often more effectively by reducing any administrative overburden that may have evolved unintentionally. Take Rivercorp for example. Assume that the essential development service it provides could be handled by one new position at City Hall. The yearly $700,000 Rivercorp budget cannot be cut in full as several of its secondary services need to be continued but in a different way. Possible yearly net savings are in the two to three hundred thousand dollar range. The city manager would be expected to offer the contract for operating the Campbell River Visitor Centre to the Chamber of Commerce or other willing non-profit organization. The city manager would also be expected to hire, as an employee of the city, a business development officer who would, among other duties, be given a budget and be responsible for producing the Campbell River Discovery Guide. The city manager would then plan the phasing out of the paid positions at Rivercorp which would likely bring the volunteer positions of its Board of Directors to an end. The finance manager would deliver a report about

E H S 4x5

the extent of budget savings to be realized for the remainder of 2015, and yearly thereafter, at a regular public Council meeting where a resolution to dissolve Rivercorp would be voted upon. ● DAVID CHRISTIAN: I believe more effort needs to be put into identifying cost savings. Continually raising taxes is unsustainable. At some point we all have to realize the need to simply manage within o u r financial means. L a s t year’s residential tax increase was not necessary. I was surprised to learn the budget surplus actually came in much higher than what was predicted. I feel closer financial awareness is needed to make decisions that affect the tax payer. Cutting taxes, raising taxes, cutting services, etc. Clearly these are the very issues the mayor and council will have to collectively decide on. I do think there are significant cost savings available to reduce the budget.

other demands such as a Seniors Center, Robron Field, and homeless shelters. The cost of doing business is increasing every year. You also have to cover this rising cost meaning that the discretionary funding is actually being reduced every year. Every council everywhere is facing the same challenge. The public wants services and amenities and they all cost money. There is not enough money to do everything that everybody wants. Council must find alternate sources of revenues through grants and other programs (one time funding); consider reducing costs through volunteerism; or generating new annual revenues like those from a community forest. Council has to consider all options and you have to let council know what you want. ● ANDREA CRADDOCK: No, I’m not in favour in of cutting services in order to prevent a tax increase. I believe the people of Campb e l l River expect a certain level of service and are willing to pay taxes to maintain good service. That said, I’m not currently on council and don’t know all the details around the latest tax hikes. The hikes were certainly tough for many people to manage and city council will be

called to task in this next term to find ways to, at the very least, stabilize taxes. New projects must be prioritized and properly budgeted for so we’re not faced with large overruns. Continued retrofit projects could also help to reduce costs and increase efficiencies. Attracting and building a stronger local economy could help increase our tax base and lessen the load on residents. And finally, council, through the Union of BC Municipalities, needs to make the case with senior levels of government to stop downloading the cost of services onto the municipal tax base and pay their fair share. ● COLLEEN EVANS: Campbell River has the potential to create a vibrant local economy, a diversified tax base and increase tax reve n u e streams. All of these will contribute positively to minimize tax increases and keep our core services at levels that provide the quality of life we want in our community. Determining the annual taxation level will be a disciplined approach that requires a public consultation process, asking good questions and being well informed to debate the issues and make shared decisions across Council. Through this process, we will have to balance challenges like

an aging infrastructure with keeping our taxes affordable and at a level that will attract investment in our community. Working together, we can keep municipal spending accountable, responsible and within our means so tax payers receive great value for their tax dollar. ● TODD JONES: If elected to city council, I would like to improve on municipal services by identifying fiscal overexpenditures. I don’t believe i n spending tax dollars inefficiently. There is enough money in the system to honour current collective agreements. What is needed are fresh eyes to look at cost-saving measures that do not jeopardize current services. There is no need to increase property taxes year after year to generate increased revenue. I propose a twoyear tax freeze. During which time, the city council and mayor will be tasked with developing a cost-effective fiscal budget and producing a

long-term, strategic plan that will increase growth in industry and business. The draw of new business and industry will create new jobs and, in turn, will draw new tax-paying residents to Campbell River, expanding our tax base. ● RON KERR: I come from a values-based background of low taxes, sound finances, with emphasis on sustainable growth. Tax policies could be looked at through the lens of tax fairness for lower income citizens. Property taxes are a blunt instrument and can be unfair to people with low incomes. A single pensioner may only receive a monthly maximum income of $1,012. With Canada’s rising wealth gap, even more pronounced in B.C., we have to be sure taxpayers are getting fair value for their money. Like all municipalities, Campbell River is struggling to keep up with day-to-day resourcing. Since 2002, Campbell River has been shifting away from reliance on major industry taxation. Today, major

industry contributes less than one per cent of our property tax base. Responsibilities have come down from federal to provincial then to the shoulders of municipal governments – regarding aging infrastructure – and have to be dealt with. The infrastructure shortfall in Canada is estimated to be in excess of $120 billion. While our property taxes do more than provide property-related services, our city’s property assessments are based on ‘property wealth’ and not on ‘income.’ We could consider modifying user fees where possible to be in line with income. The Small Communities Fund, as part of the New Building Canada Plan, is being launched. This fund presents costsharing between federal, provincial and local governments to help support critical infrastructure.

● PETER KLOBUCAR: My platform for the next four years is a property tax freeze for home owners and businesses without c o m promisi ng on essential services. The first t a s k for the new mayor and council is the 2015 budget. For the last five years there was always a budget shortfall and the taxpayers had to pick up the tab. To reverse this trend, the majority of council must be on board for a tax freeze, then the city manager is given instructions to work with department managers to achieve the necessary cuts without compromising services. If this goal is not achieved, the motion must be tabled and the mayor and council are given access to all financial ledgers. They will decide on what cuts

dents has been accomplished. This has created a burden on our residential taxpayers, especially those on fixed incomes. Secondly, our surplus from last year demonstrates that the tax level is sufficient to pay our expenses. We must review and prioritize our future expenses in order to maintain our current levels of service without any significant increase. City council and staff should work together to develop a vision and a plan to encourage more residents and businesses to move to our beautiful newly-renovated city. This has begun with all of the new projects taking place, but we

must capitalize on this potential as soon as possible. We must continue to seek other revenue instead of relying on always increasing property taxes. Our residential real estates values are very encouraging to help to attract new residents. We have not raised the taxes on business in a number of years. We need to do a much better job to promote these attributes. We can promote all of our natural beauty, utilize our natural resources to help industry, like a pellet plant to locate here. We have the potential, we can work cooperatively to help make Campbell

River grow and prosper. l MARCIA MCKAY: I am convinced that there is no need for a tax increase, particularly since there is a budget surplus. We need to review c u r re nt expenditures and eliminate extravagance and waste, and revisit how services are delivered. There is no need to cut or reduce service. l CLAIRE MOGLOVE: Most services provided by the city, and which account for as much as 70 – 80 per cent of the city’s operating budget, are either mandatory or necessary to the operation of the city - sewer, w ate r, police, fire protection, financial reporti n g , community planning, roads maintenance, garbage and recycling services, HR, animal control and more. And these services are highly regulated by the province or the federal government. Operational efficiencies should always be looked at, but I would not be in favour of cuts to these services in order to prevent a tax increase. These services are essential and we must continue to be in compliance with provincial regulations. Tax increases may be necessary if the cost to provide these essential services goes up and community growth or alternate revenue sources are not sufficient to cover the

increased costs. That leaves discretionary services such as parks, recreation, art and culture, environmental protection, airport, communication, support for nonprofit agencies, assistance for social initiatives such as homelessness, seniors’ services and most recently, healthy community initiatives. I would not be in favour of reducing these discretionary services in order to prevent a tax increase unless a proper survey was done to determine whether residents are in favour of such cuts. These discretionary services are the ones which make Campbell River such a desirable place to live. I also do not favour increase to taxes to enhance these discretionary services, but prefer expanding the tax base – more residents, businesses and industries - as the answer. l LARRY SAMSON: I do not believe a tax increase is necessary to meet the current level of services. The dilemma for council is when citizens want a higher level of service. For instance, if we hire more police officers, how do we pay for these additional o f f i cers? If citizens want yard waste residential pickup, how do we pay for this? And add to this the continual provincial downloading onto cities, like our regional district’s solid waste (garbage) program, where the province has legislated reductions into our garbage landfill while providing no funding. Increasingly, citizens are requesting that the

city provide financial aid for social programs that were previously provincial funded. In order to expand our city services we must grow our revenue by increasing the number of people and businesses to our community. Increasing population density will decrease costs to the services currently enjoyed by our citizens. How do we do grow our community? We attract families, retirees or young employed citizens to our city by providing an attractive living environment, leisure and recreational activities, and a vibrant cultural centre. We grow by providing choices in housing, transportation, work and lifestyle opportunities. We ensure public safety by placing a high priority on our emergency responders. The new or increased levels of services we provide must be affordable as we move forward and the city continues to thrive. The challenge will always be finding the right balance between levels of service and city revenues. l ZIGGY STEWART: I don’t believe service cuts or a tax increase to the public is needed. It should come as no surprise that I would support cutting funding to RiverCorp as I pursued this multiple times when I served on council. I would also look at hiring practices for senior management as I believe cost saving measures can be found. Both these items could save taxpayers $500,000 without much effort. Spending limits of senior staff

should be reduced so that council would have greater control of costs. I believe that some simple in-house cost-cutting measures would prevent the need for any tax increases. All it would take is the will of council to control spending and responsibly use your tax dollars. l DARRYN STRIGA: When the mill shut down and took its industrial tax base with it, it unfortunately fell to the residents and the residents alone to m a k e up t he difference. No services were cut and the c i t y ’s annual budget essentially remained unchanged. Some people say that Campbell River actually had very low residential taxes as a result of our industrial tax income, and there may be some truth to that, but it does very little to comfort the people whose residential taxes have increased so astronomically. Similarly people argue that cutting back services would erode our quality of life that we’ve become accustomed to, though I think that depends heavily on what is cut and just how deeply. That being said, I don’t think it is necessary to cut services as I feel the tax increases of these recent years have brought us up to a sustainable level. I wouldn’t be opposed to considering service cuts in the future, but when it comes to municipal taxes I think it’s not only fair but truthful to say our residents have paid in full. l Jim Parnell and Marlene Wright did not respond

JANET KENNEDY ANDERSON MARCH 15, 1926 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; OCTOBER 25, 2014

It is with sadness we announce the passing of our mom, grandmother, great-grandmother (GG) on Saturday, October 25, 2014, after a difficult battle with heart disease. Mom struggled these past months; she is finally out of pain. Mom was predeceased by her husband Les Anderson in January 2012 and her daughter Christine Baker in July 2012. She leaves behind her daughter Maureen; grandchildren Dawn (Manny), Taryn (Cory), Tricia (Stacey), Greg (Jenna), Kevin (Carmen) and Les. She had eight beautiful great-grandchildren who were her pride and joy; Peyton, Nathan, Kennedy, Bailey, Riley, Chloe, Katie and baby Alexis who was her BFF. Mom is also survived by her brothers James and John (Joyce) Murland, sister Henrietta (Ken) and many nieces and nephews. Mom was unique in that she spent her life looking after her family. Her greatest joy was watching her great-grandchildren and their various activities - whether it was boxing, football, highland dancing or Alexis on her trampoline - Mom was always there cheering them on and loving every minute of it. The family wishes to thank the ER staff, the nursing staff of 3rd floor along with Dr. LeBeuff & Dr. Nathan Allen for their kindness and dedication; you all went for beyond the norm and I thank you for your commitment to my mother. You made her last days as comfortable as you could and she passed with dignity and out of pain. At Momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request there will be no service.

“Waiting for the Parade”

The Comox Strathcona waste management (CSWM) service is encouraging residents to do the right thing with their carved pumpkin after Halloween. Far too often, pumpkins are bagged, tossed and carted off to local landfills. However, there are some more environmentally-friendly options for where “Jack” can go on Nov. 1: n The CSWM compost education centre in Campbell River is hosting the eighth annual Pumpkin Smash in the parking lot of Strathcona Gardens recreation complex (225 South Dogwood Street) on Saturday, Nov. 1 and Sunday, Nov. 2 from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. on both days.

These smashed pumpkins will be turned into compost instead of becoming a ghoulish waste Participants are reminded to remove all objects such as candles and tea lights from their pumpkins prior to smashing. n There are some other ways that you can help keep jack-o’lanterns out of the trash. Chop them up into thumb-sized pieces and put the pieces into a backyard composter. Or put pieces of pumpkin in a vermicompost bin – a kitchenbased worm bin. This way you will get nutrientrich compost that you can use to grow next year’s pumpkins. When organic material such as pumpkins end up in the landfill they do not break down as they
