Hospice garden damaged

Second armed robbery in a week Campbell River suffered another armed robbery Monday night. Two male suspects entered the front lobby of the Anchor Inn sometime before 11:30 p.m. dressed in dark clothing with black hoodies up and bandanas covering their faces, Campbell River RCMP Cpl. Poppy Hallam. One male had a large knife and the other had bear spray. “The male with the knife held it up at the clerk and demanded all the money from the till while the other male went into the office to look for cash,” Cpl. Hallam said. The suspects fled with the till drawer and an undisclosed amount of money. The clerk was not injured but shaken up. Campbell River RCMP Victim Services are working with the victim. The male with the knife was described as Caucasian, 5’9-5’10, 180 lbs The male with the bear spray was described as possibly Caucasian, 5’9-5’10 and about 170 lbs. All available RCMP resources responded to the call including the Police Service Dog which tracked the suspects to the area of 3rd Avenue and Thulin Street, but lost the track. The suspects may have had a vehicle near that location. Continued on Pg. 3

An area set aside to give grieving families peace has been subject to disturbing vandalism recently. The Sally Wellman Memorial Garden on the Seawalk at Rotary Park was created to provide a space where families could commemorate loved ones who have passed on, particularly if their remains have been put to rest somewhere other than Campbell River. But a volunteer with the society came upon a disturbing sight this week when she found plaques and memorials vandalized. “Sombody was in there and pulled off the plaques and things,” said Jacqueline Spies, director of programs and operations for the Campbell River Hospice Society. “I cannot even put it into words, that’s how much it disgusts me.” Spies said the hospice volunteer found plaques cracked and ripped off of their displays and tossed 5-10 feet away. Spies said if families want to check their memorials to determine what the damage is, they can contact Hospice (250-286-5744) and they will do what they can to fix it up. Also, if any members of the public could keep an eye on the garden and report any disturbance, it would be appreciated, Spies said.

Suspicious structure fire on 16th causes extensive smoke damage

Campbell River Fire Rescue has turned over the scene of a fire at 1441 16th Ave. to the RCMP for further investigation of what appears to be a suspicious fire. “Just after midnight on Tuesday, Jan. 13, Campbell River fire

crews responded to a report of fire alarms ringing at 1441 16th Ave.,” says Deputy Fire Chief Thomas Doherty. “Upon arrival, crews could see smoke coming from a single-storey modular office building. Fire fighters worked quickly to extinguish

the flames inside the building, and were able to contain the fire to one room of the building, but smoke damage was extensive throughout the structure.” Doherty says the building was unoccupied at the time of the fire.

“Investigators from the Fire Department and RCMP were on scene early Wednesday morning to investigate the cause, which appears to be suspicious in nature,” Doherty adds. Damage is estimated at approximately $40,000.

The city has a new mayor and council with an ambitious four-year term ahead of them, and leaving now gives them time to select a new city manager, who can work alongside them throughout their term. “I believe I can leave now knowing the city is in a better place than when I first started. “Also, while I’ve been

City looks to put best project forward for funding KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

City council has a big decision. It needs to decide which capital project – all of which will have a significant impact on the city’s future – is the most likely to bring in funding from the provincial and federal government.

City staff came up with a short list of projects that offer good potential and meet the strict eligibility requirements of the senior governments’ Build Canada Fund. The projects are: a dewatering facility/ organics composting facility at the Norm Wood Environmental Centre, Highway 19 reservoirs, upgrades along

on the city’s radar. Neufeld said from there, staff chose the four that are most closely aligned with the funding criteria and council’s strategic priorities. “Each of the above are legitimate capital projects representing real value to the community,” Neufeld said. The first project on the list – a dewatering and organic compost facility – is a $3.29 million project that involves the

Highway 19A between Rockland Road and Rotary Beach Park, and replacement of the downtown fire hall. Ron Neufeld, the city’s general manager of operations, said in creating the short list, city staff met three times to review the funding criteria for the Build Canada Fund and to identify all possible capital projects

Shoreline erosion is occurring (above) and the city is proposing to make use of natural contouring practices that have been used in other places along the city’s waterfront, including Tyee Spit (right) which was incorrectly identified in Wednesday’s paper as the area at the foot of Rockland Road.

Our View

BC residents paying too much gas tax Late last week, the price of regular gasoline in most parts of Campbell River fell to 99.9 cents per litre. This area has been almost the last area of Canada to see gas prices fall to $1 a litre or lower. Last week in Edmonton, the price was 69 cents a litre. In Abbotsford, it was 95 cents. In most parts of the country, prices have been in the high 80s or low 90s. As world oil prices have fallen, gas prices have slowly followed suit. Diesel prices have yet to do the same — they still remain in the $1.25 range, as diesel fuel pricing involves completely different market forces. Gas prices have stayed stubbornly high in Metro Vancouver because of the TransLink tax of 17 cents per litre on fuel, and B.C. gas prices have stayed We say: Some above other provconsider raising well inces because of the 6.7 cent carbon tax impletaxes, B.C.’s mented by the BC Liberal should be cut government under Gordon Campbell. These taxes are in addition to other federal and provincial taxes on gasoline, and of course the GST, which is charged on both the cost of the fuel and the various other taxes. Environment Minister Mary Polak is a staunch defender of the carbon tax and claims it has reduced the use of gasoline, diesel fuel and natural gas since it was implemented in 2008. While she is technically correct about products sold in B.C., she fails to mention that industrial capacity has been reduced since that time, with many large users of fuel such as pulp mills closing down permanently. Carbon tax figures also do not account for fuel bought in adjacent Washington state, which now sees many more B.C. residents come there regularly to fill up, due to dramatically lower prices. The cost of fuel in Bellingham on Tuesday was $1.90 (U.S) per gallon, which works out to about 60 cents per litre Canadian, at current exchange rates. Some governments are talking about raising fuel taxes in the current low-price environment. In B.C., they need to be cut, to make our economy more competitive. -Black Press

● Re: “The future of Ostler Park: tell the city what you think” – Jan. 14 Jane Davies · Campbell River, British Columbia Access to the beach at Ostler Park is a good idea, but most beach access is blocked all along the seawalk by logs, this denies access to those who are not able to climb over them. – From Facebook Pete Cassidy Ostler Park would be used more if landscape additions were installed to block wind and baffle traffic noise. Some hard surface across the marshy grass would be nice, too. That huge lawn could be made into interesting gardens with seating and leisure areas.

Tourism should be consulted too

Filed for publication with the Mirror Dear Mayor Adams, I am writing this letter on behalf of the Discovery Islands Marine Tourism Group (DIMTG) and Cortes Island Business and Tourism (CIBAT). There are at least 60 tourism operations employing over 650 people in the Discovery Islands area and this does not even include those in Campbell River. When combined with Campbell River, last year tourism employed 1,200 people and had revenues of about $50 million for the area. As you are aware, tourism is a major economic player in the Campbell River region and visitors are drawn to this area by its unique and spectacular natural beauty. With 6.3 million potential visitors living within an 8- hour drive of here and with the right marketing and protection, we could be poised to have a tourism industry rivaling that of Tofino and the Pacific Rim National Park. But out-door tourism opera-

tors are concerned by your recent statements that may lead to a negative impact on the local tourism industry. It was reported in the Dec. 9 issue of the Campbell River Mirror, that you announced the revival of the forestry task force to be headed by Councilor Charlie Cornfield. The article says “the task force is expected “to work with the Truck Loggers Association, TimberWest, Western Forest Products, Interfor and all other forestrelated companies based here in Campbell River and on Vancouver Island to help re-build the coastal forest industry.” The DIMTG feels very strongly that the tourism sector needs to be consulted as well. The setting and regulation of Visual Quality Objectives and the placement of log dumps and other forestry infrastructure has a huge impact on the quality of natural experience that the tour operators can offer to their visitors. And from what we have seen from out on the water, logging as increased

dramatically in the last 5 years. Again in the Dec. 9 Mirror, there was another article that said: “We’re the centre for the aquaculture industry in British Columbia,” Adams said. “I will ask council to support executive director Jeremy Dunn and the BC Salmon Farmers’ Association and other aquaculture industries.” But Adams was quick to point out that it needs to be a multi-pronged approach. He said council will need to “work with First Nations, provincial and federal governments to ensure this industry can grow in a sustainable and environmentally respectful manner, providing jobs and economic stability for families in (the) community.” Tourism needs to have a voice at the table on this issue as well. A salmon farm here, a log dump there and a cut block just up the channel all have a cumulative effect and results in the industrialization of some of the most scenic and heavily visited marine corridors in BC. Visitors don’t come to Camp-

bell River for its urban environment and to stay in hotels. They come to the city for the access it gives them to the magnificent natural beauty that surrounds us. A high quality natural environment is of paramount importance to the local economy. We recognize that resource extraction and management is very important to the local economy. But the tourism industry needs to be recognized as an equal stakeholder. We ask you Mayor Adams, that you please consider this while you develop your economic policies.

The Immigrant Welcome Centre is getting ready to celebrate the Lunar New Year with an event on Saturday, Jan. 24.

ner with flavours from across Asia and cash bar, auctions and of course, a DJ and dancing. Officially, the Lunar New Year starts on Feb. 19 and wraps up Feb. 24. The Year of the Goat, or alternately the Ram or Sheep, is the eighth sign in the 12-year cycle of animals in the Chinese zodiac. People born in a year of the Goat (1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003 and 2015) are supposedly mild-mannered, stable, and kind with a strong sense of justice. However, they are believed to be followers rather than leaders. In addition to predictions and prophecy, Lunar New Year across Asia is a time for self reflection and an occasion for family, friends and neighbours to enjoy each other’s company and re-establish community bonds, said Sin.

Proud winner of the 2013 Chamber of Commerce Not-for-Profit of The Year Award, the Immigrant Welcome Centre specializes in immigration and professional services for individuals new to Canada. Over 800 clients from 60 countries have been served in the past year. Services are offered in the Comox Valley, Campbell River and the North Island.

The Immigrant Welcome Centre’s celebration will allow Campbell River residents the same opportunities and the chance to learn more about other cultures. “The sharing of cultures and celebrations brings people together,” said Sin. “And then they understand one another

huy Sin immigrated to Canada from Vietnam 23 years ago, but still has vivid childhood memories about celebrating the Asian Lunar New Year. “We looked forward to Lunar New Year like Canadian kids look forward to Christmas,” said Sin, a settlement worker with the Immigrant Welcome Centre. “We all got new clothes, time off, lucky money envelopes. “And we ate, ate and ate!” But the two weeks of celebration, which falls in late January or in February, was always preceded by a flurry of activity and preparation. “My not so favourite part was we had to do lots of chores,” she said. Houses, kitchens and altars had to be swept, scrubbed and decorated to set the stage for the coming celebration and a prosperous new year. Things aren’t much different right now at the Immigrant Welcome Centre. The Campbell River non-profit agency is readying for a large celebration and fundraiser to usher in the Year of the Goat. The event will be held at the Campbell River Community Centre on Saturday, Jan. 24. The fundraiser will also feature a traditional Chinese dance troupe, an Asian inspired fashion show, a buffet din-

Steady growth in Local Target to go down with Canadian operations local home sales Each month the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board generates statistical data based on Multiple Listing Service activity. Campbell River is broken down to five sub areas: Campbell River North, Quinsam/Campbellton, Campbell River City, Willow Point and Oyster River North. Over the past three years, Campbell River’s single family home sales demonstrated solid gradual upward growth. In 2014, 855 single family homes were listed in Campbell River with 512 sold. That’s a 12 per cent increase from 2013’s sales. The majority of sales occurred in Willow Point (41.8 per cent). The remaining occurred in Campbell River City (36.8 per cent), Oyster River North (11.4 per cent), Quinsam/ Campbellton (6.7 per cent) and Campbell River North (3.4 per cent). The average price of a home in 2012 was $287,037, in 2013 it rose to Sarah Baikie $293,037 and in 2014 it conReal Estate tinued upwards to $303,453. If you’re a first time homebuyer and did not snap up a property in the past three years, your hesitation has cost you. In 2012, single family homes on average sold for 95 per cent of list price with an average of 82 days on market to sell. Sellers were able to breathe easier in 2013, gaining upwards to 97 per cent of list price and shortening to 68 days on market to sell. The past twelve months displayed a similar steady performance with sellers receiving on average 96 per cent of list price with an average of 76 days to sell. Inventory is tightening, only slightly downward by -6.9 per cent at year end, however it’s enough to flash a green light at buyers to hustle to make a purchase if they have not already. With the sales increasing and inventory shrinking, further upward pressure will be applied on prices. In 2014, the hottest single family home price range was $200,000 to $350,000. Breaking it down, 115 homes priced $200,000-$250,000 sold, 122 homes priced $250-000-$300,000 and 128 homes priced $300,000-$350,000.

Target Corporation announced today that it plans to discontinue operating stores in Canada because it couldn’t project being profitable in this country for at least six years. As a part of that process, this morning Target Canada filed an application for protection under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) in Toronto “When I joined Target, I promised our team and shareholders that I would take a hard look at our business and operations in an effort to improve our performance and transform our company. After a thorough review of our Canadian performance and careful consideration of the implications of all options, we were unable to find a realistic scenario that would get Target Canada to profitability until at least 2021. Personally, this was a very difficult decision, but it was the right decision for our company. With the full support of Target Corporation’s Board of Directors, we have determined that it is in the best interest of our business and our shareholders to exit the Canadian market and focus on driving growth

and building further momentum in our U.S. business,” Brian Cornell, Target Corporation Chairman and CEO says in a statement on the company’s website. Target Canada currently has 133 stores across the countr y, including in Campbell River, and employs approximately 17,600 people. The retailer has B.C. locations in Campbell River, Nanaimo, Courtenay, Richmond, Victoria, Delta, Chilliwack, Maple Ridge, Cranbrook, Coquitlam, Surrey, Vernon, Langley, Abbotsford, Kelowna, Burnaby, Prince George, Kamloops and Saanich. To ensure fair treatment of Target Canada employees, Target Corporation is seeking the Court’s approval to voluntarily make cash contributions of C$70 million (approximately US$59 million) into an Employee Trust, the company statement

says. Upon approval by the Court, the proposed trust would provide that nearly all Target Canadabased employees receive a minimum of 16 weeks of compensation, including wages and benefits coverage for employees who are not required for the full wind-down period. Target Canada stores will remain open during the liquidation process. As part of its application, Target Canada is seeking the appointment of Alvarez & Marsal Canada as Monitor in the CCAA proceedings to oversee the liquidation and wind-down process for Target Canada and its subsidiaries. Subject to Court approval, Target C orporation has committed to provide a US$175 million debtor-in-possession credit facility to finance Target Canada’s operations during the CCAA proceedings. Target Canada is also seeking

court approval to engage Lazard to advise Target Canada in connection with the sale of its real estate assets. “The Target Canada team has worked tirelessly to improve the fundamentals, fix operations and build a deeper relationship with our guests. We hoped that these efforts in Canada would lead to a successful holiday season, but we did not see the required stepchange in our holiday performance,” said Cornell. “There is no doubt that the next several weeks will be difficult, but we will make every effort to handle our exit in an appropriate and orderly way.” Target opened in Campbell River in May 2013 after spending

approximately $11 million renovating its store in the Discovery Harbour Mall. The store had moved into the former Zellers location. In January 2012, the U.S.-based retailer spent $1.8 billion to buy out 220 Zellers leases across the country. Some operations were closed, but Campbell River made the cut Target Corporation expects $5.4 billion in losses on discontinued operations in the fourth quarter of 2014, driven primarily by the writedown of the Corporation’s investment in Target Canada, along with costs associated with exit or disposal activities and quarter-to-date Canadian Segment operating losses.

Firefighters tackle extreme fire conditions in the interior of a South Murphy home on Jan. 9.

Family thankful for help but say they will be fine The family involved in the South Murphy house fire on Jan. 9 are thankful for the show of support they’ve received from the community. But they want everyone to know they’re well looked after and they won’t need any donations. “We appreciate what everyone’s trying to do but we should pull out of this okay,” said Trevor MacLeod.

The family had insurance and expect that to take care of their needs after being left homeless by the fire. A bank account for donations had been set up as well as the BlackPress 4Good internet donation site but the family doesn’t feel they should accept that help given the resources they have. “We are insured and we are taking steps to

get our things in order,” MacLeod said. At 10:38 a.m. on Friday, Jan. 9, Campbell River Fire Crews responded to a call about a possible chimney fire at a single family residence at 97 South Murphy St. When crews arrived there was heavy smoke coming from all sides of the structure. When fire fighters went into the house to try to extinguish the

flames, they discovered extreme fire conditions, and an area of the floor had collapsed. Crews quickly withdrew from inside the house and began fighting the fire from the exterior of the building to knock down the flames and prevent the fire from spreading to neighbouring buildings. Nobody was hurt in the fire which is under investigation.

“C

onspicuous in its degraded and barren state, a leftover from industrial activity in our estuary, the Field Sawmill site adjacent to the 17th Street bridge and Comox Road constitutes a blight on our community.” That’s a comment from an article written by the Comox Valley Project Watershed Society and published in the Mirror’s sister publication, Comox Valley Record. The article lauds the work done to restore the Campbell River estuary and puts it out as a model for what could be done to the former Field Sawmill site on the Courtenay River. The rest of the article follows: There is something out of character about this industrial site. Many people are drawn to the Comox Valley because of its beauty and recreational opportunities – mountain trekking and biking, skiing, kayaking, sailing, bird watching, fishing, golf and the arts. Daily, visitors and local residents pass by the Field Sawmill site and wonder when action will be taken to restore the land to something resembling its former beauty. The question is who will do this and when? Not only is the site an eyesore but because the original salt marsh has

been filled in and paved over, and the foreshore has been artificially armored with steel cladding; the area no longer functions (as it once did) as natural habitat for fish and other wildlife. It doesn’t have to be this way. The site is currently for sale and represents an opportunity for restoration and conservation. For an example of how our estuary could be transformed we need look no farther

than the Campbell River estuary where two former mills, the Campbell River Sawmill and the Ocean Blue Cedar mill on Baikie Slough, were purchased by the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC), the latter purchase aided by the Tula Foundation and the city, on behalf of, and for, the local citizens. The leadership that led to these major changes was provided by the Mayor of Campbell River at the time,

Jim Lornie, and Mike Gage, a member of the regional board of the Nature Conservancy of Canada. Gage, a former road builder for Weyerhauser, was able to persuade the Nature Conservancy to purchase the Campbell River mill site, including Baikie Island, from Raven Industries when

it came on the market. This was the first time the Nature Conservancy had purchased industrial land with a view to restoring the natural habitat. The project was highly successful and the former industrial sawmill site has undergone a dramatic transformation (refer to before and after photos associated with this article). Commitment to restoration Project Watershed is committed to spearheading the restoration of the Field Sawmill site with a view to returning it as much as possible to its natural state and preserving it for future generations.

Fortunately, as Tim Ennis from the Nature Conservancy of Canada stated, “compared to the Campbell River situation, the Field Sawmill site does not appear to be nearly as complex to restore and offers a huge potential benefit for the community.” The goal is to change it from an eyesore to an asset, that is to a coastal

forest of Sitka spruce and western hemlock forming a seamless whole with the adjacent Hollyhock Marsh, the wooded area just south of the sawmill site. A stream and pool linked to the Dyke Slough (on the west side of Comox Road) is proposed that would be incorporated in the restoration along

COMMUNITY UPDATE JANUARY 16, 2015

THE FUTURE OF OSTLER PARK – TELL US WHAT YOU THINK The former Raven Sawmill site shows heavy industrial use on the site and the adjacent Baikie Island on the right.

From Pg. 27

with restored tidal marsh which would provide critical habitat for juvenile salmon. This side channel would provide migrating adult salmon and juveniles safe passage around that stretch of the Courtenay River where salmon are currently preyed upon by seals. A restored sawmill site would also provide critical habitat for a variety of other fish species, upland birds, waterfowl, mammals, insects and invertebrates. Tidal marshes would serve to protect the shoreline from storms and tidal surges as the vegetation would have a buffering effect on the energy of waves and currents, reducing their power and thus reducing the erosion and destruction that comes from fast-flowing water and pounding waves as we experienced in early December. A properly structured living shoreline would provide as much or more protection than riprap against flooding that now occurs over Comox Road during heavy rainfall and winter storm surges.

Aquatic marsh plants would also improve water quality and are important in sequestering (long-term storage) atmospheric carbon dioxide helping to mitigate the impacts of climate change. Finally, the area could be enhanced with trails, including the first leg of a Comox cycling route, as well as a walkway and viewing platform. These would make it more accessible for recreational users, providing access to the forest and wetland, and the ebb and flow of the tide and currents that create constant change in our estuary. Vision needs support What will it take to achieve this vision? In the case of the Campbell River estuary, it took leadership from the mayor and council, a supportive team of dedicated organizations and individuals and willingness on the part of industry to work with the local group committed to restoring their estuary. The most critical factor was the community that voiced its support for restoration and pro-

tection of the estuary. “We have dedicated organizations here in the Valley that are committed to restoring our estuary, and the Field Sawmill site,” states Don Castleden, chair of the Estuary Working Group, a consortium of 11 community organizations and key government agencies, all of which are supportive of restoring the site. Project Watershed is in the initial stages of developing a strategy for acquiring and restoring the sawmill site. Our efforts here are supported by the Nature Conservancy of Canada, the K’ómoks First Nation, and Fisheries and Oceans Canada. “What we need now is the support of the community and our newly elected political leaders,” says Paul Horgen, Project Watershed board chair. “Together, we can achieve positive change by transforming the sawmill site into a feature of natural beauty in the heart of our community.” For a video depicting the transformation of the Campbell River estuary see bit.ly/14E72Bu.

seem to be a great organization with strong coaching and skilled players.” We l y k , 1 7 , w a s acquired from the Westshore Wolves. The rookie goaltender has posted a record of six wins, six losses, and one tie so far this season with a GAA of 4.29 and a save percentage of .866. “Riley is a highly sought after young goalie,” says Stone. “He fought his way through the Victoria Grizzlies main camp and had a great start with Westshore, including stoning us in overtime to steal a tie and break our winning streak at the beginning of the season.” Welyk, who grew up in North Vancouver, is also excited about joining the Storm and doing whatever it takes to win a championship. “At 5’11” and 170 pounds, I’m not the biggest goalie but I perform a hybrid style and take advantage of my athleticism,” he says. “ I also try to play smart by reading the play, thrive in high pressure situations, and am mentally tough.” Welyk replaces Drew Stuve who was recently ruled ineligible by VIJHL officials because of games he played earlier this season for the Dallas Snipers of the Western States Hockey League.

Storm make key trades The Campbell River Storm has acquired forward Reece Costain and goaltender Riley Welyk in exchange for future considerations. Both deals were made just prior to the VIJHL trade deadline of January 10. Costain, 19, was in his third season with the Peninsula Panthers. The Edmonton native has six goals, 11 assists, and 77 minutes in penalties during the current campaign. He also spent time with the Victoria Grizzlies and Cowichan Valley Capitals of the BCHL. “Reece is a player we identified almost immediately when he returned from the BCHL,” said Storm head coach and general manager Lee Stone. “Peninsula told us they wanted to wait until the trade deadline and we are thrilled to finalize the deal. He’s a big centreman who skates well and can change a game with his physicality. He’s also extremely hard to play against and will be a solid playoff performer for us.” Costain agrees that being physical is a big part of his game but adds he has some finesse skills as well. The 6’3”, 195 pound VIJHL veteran says he’s looking forward to the move to Campbell River. “I’m very excited to be joining the Storm,” Costain said. “They

Harle to train nationally Teal Harle, who will be the first graduate from Podium of Life Snow Sports Academy Whistler, has been invited to train with the Canadian Slopestyle Team again. He will join fellow Whistler skiers, Taylor Wilson and Yuki Tsabota, in Calgary for the training camp.

Teal, still in Grade 12, has moved to Whistler, from the Island, in an effort to progress his freestyle passion. He has been identified as one of the top five athletes to watch at the Canada Winter Games. He recently won the last two rail jams in Whistler, and placed 23rd at an international compe-

tition in Colorado. Most of the time he is training or travelling to competitions, but when he is home in Whistler, he receives his education from his family’s school, Podium of Life Snow Sports Academy. He has been one of the freestyle coaches at the Academy for the last two years.

Teale Harle will train with the national slopestyle team.

Provide the bird with the largest cage your home can accommodate. Pet professionals recommend stainless steel and powder-coated cages for their safety. Avoid galvanized wire cages that can be coated with zinc and make the bird sick.

Outfit the cage with natural branches or perches of varying diameter to prevent painful worn spots from forming on the bird’s feet. Keep the cage as clean as possible, removing papers daily and rinsing the bottom of the cage with soap as necessary.

A weekly disinfecting with a mild bleach-andwater solution can keep bacteria from taking root and prevent odor in the cage. Controlled light Beyond providing food, shelter, exercise, and water, bird owners also should consider the physical and psychological benefits of giving caged birds access to full-spectrum lighting. Wild birds are accustomed to many hours of sunlight, and indoor birds may not be privy to such conditions. Bird owners should provide a full-spectrum of light, including UVA and UVB light, to caged birds for 15 to 40 minutes per day, up to three days a week. Exposure to UVA is important for the bird’ vision, while UVB rays aid in the production of vitamin D. Too much UV exposure can be harmful, so exercise caution. Adjusting exposure to light can help birds develop healthy sleepwake cycles that mimic their behaviors in nature. When the weather is warm, bird cages can be

rolled outdoors or birds with properly clipped wings can be given outdoor exercise. Temperature Birds easily get cold and cannot sufficiently warm themselves, so keep bird cages located in a room with a stable temperature and away from drafts. Do not locate cages close to windows or in the bathroom where temperatures can fluctuate. Kitchen When heated, nonstick pans may produce fumes that can be toxic to birds. Coffee pots and toasters also can give off fumes, especially when they are new, so keep birds away from these appliances. Birds also have a much lower tolerance to the toxins in cigarette smoke, so avoid smoking near a bird after a meal. Pet birds are seemingly an easy pet to have, and one that requires much less work than a dog or cat. However, birds have unique needs, and they require specialized care not everyone is capable of providing.

Other pets can also be potentially harmful to birds, who cannot defend themselves against cats, dogs and even ferrets. Something seemingly innocent, such as a source of open water, also can be dangerous. Birds easily can drown in water bowls, buckets or open toilets. In addition, any hot surface can be threatening to active birds, as fireplaces, boiling water, hot light bulbs, radiators, and candles can cause serious burns. Birds that are allowed free run of the house should be carefully monitored, and every effort should be made to remove potential hazards from the home. Keep doors closed so that the bird cannot escape to another room where windows may be open or safety measures to protect the bird were not taken. Cages The cage will be the bird’s primary home and the place he or she will spend the most amount of time.

LOCATIONS TO SERVE YOU BETTER

Although birds may not be as popular as other companion animals, avian pets still make wonderful additions to many families. Pet birds can run the gamut from larger parrots to small lovebirds and finches. Birds may be more compact pets, suitable for smaller living spaces like apartments, but they’re not self-sufficient. Birds may need less daily attention than cats or dogs, but birds have specific needs to be met to keep them healthy and happy. Household dangers Captive birds that will be allowed out of their cages from time to time are susceptible to potential dangers around the house. Numerous things can be dangerous to birds. Their small stature makes birds especially vulnerable to household cleaners, even small amounts of which can result in illness. Avoid the use of aerosol sprays or other chemicals around the bird.

Paws & Claws For people who

their pets.

Coping with the loss of a pet The strong bonds many people share with their pets can make the death of those pets, be it sudden or expected, difficult to handle. It's not uncommon to be traumatized when a pet dies, and such grief may be influenced by the pet's age at the time of its death, the circumstances surrounding that death and the nature of the relationship between the owner and pet. Different pet owners deal with the death of a pet in different ways, but the following are some ways to cope with the loss of a companion animal. • Recognize that everyone feels differently. Grief is expressed in many different ways. What one person experiences may not be the norm for another. You may go through a variety of emotions, from anger at the circumstances and being left without your pet, to guilt if you believe there may have

been something more you could have done to prolong the animal's life. Mourn in your own way, and afford others the same opportunity. • Reach out to others. Grief often can turn a person inward, and your feelings may be bottled up. Talking about your emotions, whether it's with a trusted friend or even a therapist, may help. Online message boards that cover grief and pet loss may provide the support you need. Leaning on others who have been in your shoes

may help you recover more quickly. • Create mementos or a legacy for the pet. Creating mementos may help children who are having their own difficulty dealing with pet loss. Work with your child to create a photo album or plant a tree to honor your pet. Dealing with a pet that must be euthanized can be especially difficult. Pet owners can choose to be in the room during the procedure, and that decision should not be made lightly. If you think

Dogwood Pet Mart is proud to support

you can handle it and you want to be there to comfort your pet, then you might be more comfortable being in the room. But being present when a pet is euthanized can be emotional, so give this decision serious consideration. Once a pet has died, many owners debate whether or not to bring a new pet into their homes. Another animal around the house can fill the void created when your previous pet passed away, and some people adopt or buy a new pet before an old or sick pet passes away to make the transition as smooth as possible. A new pet should only be brought into the home when you're ready to build a new relationship.

10 Effective Dog Training Tips 1.

Always be positive when working with your dog.

Remember that your dog wasn’t born understanding human speech and can’t read your mind.

Understand the basics of how animals, including people, learn.

Keep your training sessions short and train in small increments throughout the day.

Make training part of your daily routine.

Teach your dog new behaviors in quiet, low-distraction areas.

Make sure everyone in your household is on the same page.

Always focus on teaching what you want.

Use what your dog finds reinforcing.

10. If you find you need help with basic training, or start to see behavioral problems appear, do not wait to see a trainer or behavior consultant.

IN MEMORIAM

MOON, VICTOR MELVIN

Victor Melvin Moon left us on the 19 December, 2014 at the Campbell River Regional Hospital. He was 73 years of age. Victor was born in Campbell River and raised by his parents Doris and Francis Drake with his siblings; brothers Francis and Peter, and sisters Viola and Doris. Victor worked as a logger, faller and a commercial fisherman. A very determined and focused man, he always worked hard and strived to never let anyone down. Through his life, Victorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hobbies included the outdoors, sports fishing and hunting, but he had a very creative side. Victorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s artistic talents were many as shown by the pieces of artwork from cedar wooden bowls to aboriginal paintings and carvings. Victor was preceded in death by his father and mother, sister Viola, nephew Peter Junior, son-in-law Donovan and loving wife Nellie. He leaves behind brothers Francis and Peter, sister Doris; children Alfredo, Albert, Lilli, Cindy, Glenn, Hank, Melvin, Ken and Vincent as well as his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He also leaves many friends who will miss his laughter, sense of humour and conviction. A Memorial Service will held at the Thunderbird Hall, Campbell River, BC on Saturday, January 17, 2015 at 1:00pm.
