City budget deliberations begin next week Kristen Douglas Campbell RiveR miRRoR

Campbell River council will get to work on the city’s 2015 budget next week. Due to the municipal election in November and a change in councillors, budget planning starts later this year than in previous years. In both 2014 and 2013, a final budget was passed in January but this year, financial planning doesn’t begin until Monday. Budget deliberations will be held Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at city hall, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day, with an optional day of budget planning on Friday, also from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The public is invited to attend these meetings and has the opportunity to speak to council about the financial plan at the start of the Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday meetings beginning at 10 a.m. There is a five minute maximum per presentation and those who would like to speak are encouraged to register in advance by calling 250-286-5700. Over the last two years, council has raised residential property taxes by 3.91 per cent and 2.92 per cent in 2013 and 2014, respectively. During 2014 budget planning, council also approved a three-year, phased in tax increase to the man-

aged forest land sector (from $2.29 per thousand to the provincial average of $13.98 per thousand) as well as a tax increase to the utilities class, to be phased in over four years. Council’s 2014-2018 financial plan also includes significant sewer and water infrastructure projects and involves borrowing up to $15 million for those projects. Former mayor Walter Jakeway wasn’t pleased with last year’s budget and predicted it would have a negative impact on the current council. “The 2015 council is going to inherit a huge amount of pain and will have to take extreme measures to rectify the financial situation without harming the taxpayers,” Jakeway said after council completed last year’s budget in January, 2014. Whether or not that is actually the case will be determined next week as budget deliberations get underway. All the financial planning meetings will be broadcast live on the city’s website (www.campbellriver. ca) and can be viewed following the meetings as well. For those unable to attend the meetings but who would like to provide input into the financial plan, they can email their comments to info@campbellriver.ca or by delivering them to City Hall (301 St. Ann’s Road).

Sewers: Attempt to transfer money to another project fails

From Pg. 1

opment and her staff on Sept. 26 at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention to ask about the possibility of keeping the grant for a different project. “I made enquiries whether the Building Canada allocation would be transferrable to another infrastructure project within Area D – a water reservoir located in the southern end of the Area D water system,” Leigh said. “It was an information-gathering session to find out what would be required in an application and whether funds might be transferable.” A letter from the ministry to the regional district which was before the board at its Feb. 11 meeting, confirmed the funds could not be applied to the reservoir project. “It was determined that a scope change cannot be granted under the existing circumstances,”

wrote Jay Schlossar, assistant deputy minister. “The BCF-CC program cannot approve a complete project scope change of this scale. The original intention of the project (wastewater) would no longer be achieved and the new project (drinking water) would not result in the same level of ranking as the original. “Other factors included in the decision were the amount of time remaining in the program, the inability to move the existing project forward, and the increased risk of being unable to complete a new project within program deadlines, even if an extension was possible,” Schlossar added. “As a result of your request for a scope change being denied, the ministry is withdrawing the funding.” The original deadline to use the grant was March 31 of this year but the city was expected to ask for an extension had

the project gone ahead. The city had proposed extending its sewer service into northern Area D under the condition that affected residents agree to join the City of Campbell River – a requirement str uck down by electors in a June 2014 referendum. The $3.4 million grant from the federal and provincial governments was given to the Strathcona Regional District in 2006 to bring sewer service to Area D. That grant was to be transferred to the city if the project had

come to fruition, but an overwhelming 84.3 per cent ‘no’ vote on joining the city took the sewer project off the table and left the grant money up in the air. Leigh said the government’s verdict on the funding is unfortunate but not surprising. “The assistant deputy minister’s recent letter basically confirms what I learned back in September (at UBCM) – that the Build Canada Fund is not transferable to another project,” Leigh said.

Mayor presents downtown revitalization award

The crew behind the city’s downtown revitalization project was recognized at a recent council meeting for the international attention the program has received. Jason Hartley, the city’s capital works manager, was presented at the Feb. 10 council meeting with

a MarCom Gold Award certificate for excellence in communications related to the city’s 2013 downtown revitalization project. Campbell River’s St. Ann’s block upgrade project was selected from more than 6,500 entries submitted throughout the United States, Canada and 15 other countries. Of those entries, roughly

23 per cent were gold award winners while 17 per cent were recognized at the platinum level and 10 per cent received honourable mention. The city’s gold award recognizes the communication program which kept residents and local businesses apprised of traffic changes, traffic milestones and construction timelines.

Cops hang up ‘dial-a-dope’ ring

Drugs and drug trafficking paraphernalia were found on Feb. 13 when the Campbell River RCMP Street Crimes Unit executed a Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (CDSA) search warrant on an apartment in the 600 block of 2nd Avenue. During the execution of the warrant, three males were arrested, RCMP Staff Sgt. Troy Beauregard said. All have ties to the Lower Mainland. Besides the drugs and drug trafficking paraphernalia found during the search of the resi-

dence, a replica firearm, an expandable baton and over $27,000 in cash were also found. The next day, Feb. 14, the Street Crimes Unit executed a second search warrant on a related residence in the 800 block of the South Island Highway, and located additional drugs. In total approximately 1.6 Kilograms of Cocaine and 500 grams of heroin were seized. Three vehicles were also seized by Police. Bail hearings have been conducted for the accused. Two were released from custody

pending court appearances, and the third was held in custody to appear.

per his sentence order, Beauregard said. He is Unlawfully at Large and a warrant has been issued for his arrest. Anyone with information is asked to contact police or contact Crimestoppers.

UNLAWFULLY AT LARGE On January 21, Robert Oliver (aka Bird) Nelson,40, of Campbell River was convicted of Uttering Threats. He was sentenced to 73 days of jail to be served intermittently on weekends until the sentence was complete. On Friday, Feb. 6 Nelson failed to turn himself in as required

said. The Campbell River RCMP Police Dog Section attended and the team was able to track the suspects to an area where they were attempting to hide. Two male suspects age 30 and 20 were both arrested. The 30-year-old suffered minor injuries and was treated at hospital and released. Both are “of no fixed address” with the 30-yearold being very well known to police. Both are facing multiple charges including Possession of Stolen Property over $5000 and are currently in custody.

Our View

The thing about balanced budgets

No more borrowing for “groceries.” At least that is what Finance Minister Mike de Jong said when explaining B.C. budget surpluses this year and in the coming years will largely be used to pay down the provincial operating debt. Unless you are an already struggling family, according to the official opposition, British Columbians will face more fee and rate hikes in 2015, according to a press release issued by the NDP. Christy Clark’s Liberal government announced a balanced budget on Tuesday. Flat wages and increasing costs might have some families scraping for money to feed their families. That means there is little in the budget to help sectors like education, which is falling farther behind every budget and having to direct more money We say: Enough away from educating stuwill never be dents to paying the costs enough for the of just being able to keep doors open. province’s taxman school Jim Iker, president of the BC Teacher’s Federation, points out that while the budget does include some additional funding to meet the costs of the new collective agreement settled with teachers last year, much of the money is simply being moved around by forcing cuts onto school districts in other areas. In addition, the government is increasing the Medical Services Plan premiums by four per cent, not covering inflation, and refusing to pay for the new MyEducationBC computer program, all of which will download more unfunded costs to school boards. In a time of ongoing economic uncertainty on the global stage, a free-spending budget would be a mistake. And fiscal discipline, coupled with initiatives to help challenges facing business should be applauded. But if B.C.’s economic out look is as stable as de Jong predicts, with surpluses of more than $250 million over the next three years, perhaps it is time to start reinvesting in some of those soft costs, like education and social services, which may not show immediate benefits, but have a huge payoff down the road. -Black Press

Community Happenings ● International Women’s Day is coming March 8 The Campbell River and NI Transition Society and the Women’s Centre is going to hold a celebration on March 2, to celebrate International Women’s Day. Join them at Rose Harbour, 1116 Dogwood St at 11:30 a.m. They will begin by participating in the “One billion rising campaign” by dancing for justice to “Break the Chain.” One Billion Rising is the biggest mass action to end violence against women in human history. The campaign began as a call to action based on the staggering statistic that 1-in-3 women on the planet will be beaten or raped during her lifetime. With the world population at seven billion, this adds up to more than one billion women and girls. After the dance, join in a lunch, cake and tea where there will also be a presentation to Valery Puetz with the Women of Distinction Award for 2015.

Time to get involved in city budget Fire up the torches! Render the pitch! Heat up the tar! Pluck the feathers! It’s city budget time! Yes, time to sharpen up the outrage as city council gets ready to deliberate on the 2015 municipal budget. It’s often the most controversial stories of the year, with good reason. City taxes are the level of government funding that’s closest to the pockets it comes out of. Consequently, it’s the level of government that faces the most public and direct ire. You can go to the meetings and you can see the process of how council arrives at their latest tax increase –sorry, city budget. Of course, nobody actually goes go to see the process. They just read about it in the local rag and then complain about it in bars, coffee shops and dinner parties. Some might go as far as to write a letter to the editor. And, in this modern age, there’s the ease and convenience of social media. Newspapers (like ours) even

Jakeway and others advocated cuts rather than increases. Current-mayor Andy Adams and this new council will be deliberating in the aftermath of the unique atmosphere of the last council’s mayor being at odds with the majority of his council. Nothing unacceptable about that, it was just that Jakeway was never loath to complain publicly about losing the budget vote (and other issues). So, it will be interesting to see how the current group decides about its budget. Will it float a tax increase? That will be a bold step given the climate of the past council. Or will they balance the budget? We shall see. One thing I’m fairly certain of is that whatever the outcome, I expect Adams will be more respectful of the democratic process and accept majority rules. Whatever the outcome, you, the taxpayer, do have a vested interest in the process, so get interested and get involved.

SRD directors tout solid waste service as an Island leader KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The Strathcona Regional District is supporting the City of Campbell River’s bid to study a possible Island-wide service to deal with garbage and waste. Regional district directors endorsed the city’s resolution which will go before this spring’s Association of Vancouver Island Coastal Communities (AVICC) convention for debate. While all directors were in favour of undertaking the study, Area D Director Brenda Leigh wasn’t satisfied that the Comox Strathcona Waste Service would have much to gain from such a service. “When I went to Nanaimo and attended the Island-wide discussion on solid waste, our waste function is so far ahead of the rest of the Island that what we would be taking on is a lot of other people’s costs who haven’t got as nearly as far as we have in building transfer stations and whatnot,” Leigh said. “I don’t mind studying it but I don’t think it would be a bonus to us to be on an Island-wide solid waste service – from what I heard in Nanaimo. They’ve got nothing in

Mount Waddington and Duncan is shipping landfill waste to Washington State.” But Director Larry Samson suggested that an Island-wide service could help those regional districts that are struggling. “The Cowichan Valley is undergoing extreme hardship because of the (falling) Canadian dollar. They’re paying tonnage in American dollars and with the droppage we’ve seen, they’re experiencing hardship,” Samson said. “As we are one of the leaders on the Island, or we’re out in front, are we going into new territory that is costing us as we’re going through this multimillion dollar (solid waste service) financial plan? There may be savings if we go through it together. I think it’s time we got together as Vancouver Island.” Director Charlie Cornfield agreed that there are most likely savings to be found if local governments on the Island band together. He also disagreed with Leigh that the Comox Strathcona Solid Waste service is ahead of the others. “I think we’re far behind where we should be (and) I think there’s a lot to be gained by collaborating on the Island,” Cornfield

said. “The best run system is the Capital Regional District – they’ve been covering landfill gases for 10 years. At their recycling centre, you can drop off paint cans but you can also pick paint up. “I think there’s a whole lot to be gained just by experience and collaboration and putting all those ideas together,” Cornfield said. “We’re an Island and we’re going to have disposal issues that no one else shares. We need to develop a system that’s tailored to our needs.” Director Andy Adams agreed and said there may be a way “that is more cost effective than the Comox Strathcona Solid Waste Plan currently is.” Last summer, $2.1 million was spent to complete a 13-metre high retaining wall at the Campbell River dump to accommodate the entire region’s waste once construction on the new Comox Valley landfill begins. The subsequent closure of the Campbell River landfill will cost $10 million and additional costs are still on the horizon to develop landfill closure plans for the Gold River, Tahsis and Zeballos waste management centres and replace them with transfer stations.

Good hearing, poor comprehension?

7x5.5 Connect Hearing

The number of people who can hear well, but can’t understand what’s being said, is increasing. This is most evident in conversations and watching television. A newlydeveloped hearing chip is designed to restore speech comprehension without being noticeable in the ear.

A lot of people have poor comprehension, though they actually still hear well. It becomes noticeable in conversation, watching television and asking family to repeat what’s been said. A potential cause can be undetected loss in the high-frequency range. This means the sensory cells in the cochlea that hear high-range sounds are damaged as a result of circulatory disorders, diabetes, sudden hearing loss or workplace noise. Hearing loss in the highfrequency range makes speech sound muffled and unclear. The person with hearing loss mixes up, or can no longer hear, consonants like s, f, t, k, h and g. Speech comprehension is particularly impaired when there is background noise or when television programs have background music. The dilemma is that people with hearing loss in the high-frequency range do not

and speech comprehension analysis is done. Where inner-ear damage is present, a software program analyzes the difference relative to normal hearing. These values are then input into the new Venture hearing chip in the Audéo V, which precisely takes into account and balances the frequency range of the person being tested. The test phase in particular is designed to clarify how speech comprehension can be improved in various situations and what role a new technology called “Autosense OS” plays. The chip recognizes where the person being spoken to is located and amplifies only his or her voice, while ambient noise is lowered and the optimum hearing programs are seamlessly adjusted. Thanks to several synchronous microphones, the hearing system can detect sound in all directions and select the direction that speech is coming from within milliseconds. According to Swiss researchers, this significantly augments speech comprehension, especially in conversation.

Ginette van Wijngaarden, at Connect Hearing, advises people with hearing loss on the new hearing chip, together with her colleagues. consider themselves to have a hearing problem. They can hear deep tones with no issue, and often put difficulty understanding speech down to unclear pronunciation. However, the time soon comes when problems with comprehension become annoying.

Crime Stoppers receives funds from SRD, and more could be on the way

www.CampbellRiverMirror.com www.CampbellRiverMirror.com

KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Campbell River Crime Stoppers will get $500 from Quadra Island. Jim Abram, regional district director for Area C, awarded the grant-in-aid following last month’s presentation from Crime Stoppers asking the Strathcona Regional District board for money. Pat Patterson, Crime Stoppers coordinator, and Rob Harris, a Crime Stoppers director, asked the board in January to consider providing some seed money to expand the program within the regional district. At the Feb. 11 board meeting, Abram said Crime Stoppers, following its presentation, asked for $10,000 from the Strathcona Regional District but the requests were split among the electoral area directors. Are a D Direc tor Brenda Leigh confirmed she too received a grantin-aid request from Crime Stoppers but said she’s waiting to weigh all of the requests. “I simply hold that in my grant-in-aid application file until I’m ready to look at all of the applications and they will get a portion of the grant-in-aid funds however it gets distributed once all of the grant-inaid applications are in,” Leigh said. Director Larry Samson said while he commended Abram for providing the $500, he questioned whether it made sense to have each electoral area fund Crime Stoppers with its own grant-in-aid budgets. “I think if it’s done on a regional basis – and it could be done on a per capita basis with smaller communities paying so much – rather than on

an ad hoc basis, everybody chips in if they so desire and if you choose not to, then you’re still going to get a benefit,” Samson said. “As we heard from Crime Stoppers (in January), they don’t go with the boundaries, because they go wherever they’re needed.” Samson also pointed out that following Crime Stoppers’ presentation at the January 7 board meeting, the board of directors voted to defer Crime Stoppers’ funding request to the regional district’s 2015 budget planning discussions. “Are we contravening that motion or is this going over and above?” Samson wanted to know. Abram said the request for regional funding would still be discussed during budget deliberations but added that he thought it appropriate to provide the grant-in-aid. Crime Stoppers is currently funded by the City of Campbell River and Patterson works out of the Campbell River RCMP detachment. Patterson has said that since his salary is paid for by the city, the majority of his work is done within Campbell River. Crime Stoppers is looking for additional funding from the regional district to go towards putting up signs in the smaller regional communities

such as Gold River, Sayward, and Zeballos to make people aware of the organization, as well as to expand Facebook advertising and provide mail-outs to the communities. Crime Stoppers would also like to get a tip fund going for other communities. Currently, because funds for tips are all raised locally, tip money stays in Campbell River. Patterson last month told the regional district that 2014 was the most successful year in Crime Stoppers’ 24-year history in Campbell River. Crime Stoppers took 66 more calls in 2014 over 2013, increased its Facebook page views by 61,258 (25 per cent), received 66 more tips, helped provide information that led to 35 more arrests, and helped the RCMP clear 58 more cases than in the previous year. Patterson said while it’s not a competition, year over year, the numbers for 2014 are an

indication that people care about their community and are willing to get involved. Patterson also acknowledged the use of social media and the Internet, which provides Crime Stoppers with a broader reach. When a body was found last summer in the Oyster River, photos posted by Crime Stoppers of the victim’s T-shirt generated valuable tips for police. “The RCMP had the file for over 30 days, couldn’t I.D. who the person was,” Patterson said. “C r i m e S t o p p e r s posted the photo and within 22 hours we had a name.” In another case, after human remains from Cortes Island were given to a Campbell River thrift store in a box, Crime Stoppers posted photos of the woman at the store and in less than 24 hours, Crime Stoppers received three tips with the name of the lady who brought the bones in.

Campbell River Schools International will have a variety of students coming to Campbell River from Germany, China, Taiwan, Austria, Spain, Brazil, and Mexico in the coming year and all families, with or without children, are invited to get involved as homestay parents. School District 72 will host a homestay information session Tuesday, Feb. 24, from 7-8 p.m. at the Timber-

line Secondary School library to share more information on becoming a host family. Most international students prefer to stay in families with children, especially children their own age, but the program also gets students who prefer a quieter setting with adults only. Most homestays are for the full school year, but others are for five months or less — some as short as two weeks.

Host parents are comp ens ate d $700 per month and are expected to provide a warm and welcoming home environment, parental supervision, a private bedroom with a desk or table to study, Internet access, and three healthy meals per day, plus snacks. Training and support is provided to families interested in becoming a host family. Campbell River Schools International

promotes the homestay family program as a way to bring a new culture into your home without the inconveniences of travel. Residents can see the world through new eyes and rediscover the joys of Campbell River while sharing them with a newcomer. Homestay families often build lasting relationships and many of the program’s host parents have stayed in contact with their stu-

dents for years afterwards. Me et ing inter national students can also inspire local students to travel, learn new languages and take an interest in global issues. For more information on becoming a host family, and to RSVP to attend Tuesday’s homestay information session at Timberline, contact Mercedes Hayduk, homestay contractor, at 250-895-5946.

Investors Group Invest in your kids 4x10

Trevor Despins

CFP, STI, CPCA Financial Consultant

You want your kids or grandchildren to have rewarding lives, both personally and ﬁnancially, and one good way to help make that happen is to invest in them -- through a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP). In today’s highly competitive world, having a postsecondary education is a deﬁnite advantage. According to Employment and Social Development Canada*, over the span of a career, higher education means higher growth in earnings. For example, in 2000, growth in average earnings between the ages of 25 and 54 was 49% for those with a high school diploma, 53% for those with a college diploma, and nearly 100% for those with a university diploma. Yes, a post-secondary education is expensive – in 2010-11, the average cost of a four-year program was approximately $58,000** -- and rising every year. But it remains a great investment – that’s why so many Canadians are saving for their kids’ education. Statistics Canada reports that 7 in 10 Canadian children 17 years old and younger had savings set aside for their

post-secondary education and more than three-quarters of those with savings had an RESP***. Here’s why an RESP is a great way to invest in your kids: • You can contribute as much as you want each year up to a lifetime limit of $50,000 per child – so you can manage your contributions according to your annual budget. • For each child’s RESP, the government will add up to 20% of contributions (to a maximum of $1,000 each year, and up to a lifetime grant limit of $7,200), via the Canada Education Savings Grant (CESG) program.**** • Lower income families may be eligible to receive additional CESG amounts as well as the Canada Learning Bond (CLB)****. • Your contributions aren’t tax-deductible and withdrawn contributions by your enrolled child aren’t taxed. Educational Assistance Payments, which consist of CESG, CLB, and plan income or growth, are taxed at the student’s income level, meaning your child will likely pay little or no tax on those withdrawals. • Your child can access RESP funds as soon as they

enroll in an approved postsecondary program. • If your child decides not to pursue a post-secondary education, contributions may be returned to the RESP subscriber or the RESP can be transferred to another child. • Any contributions remaining in the plan after your child ﬁnishes their education are yours to use as you wish. Investing in a RESP is a good decision and your professional advisor can help you achieve ﬁnancial stability for you family and a debt-free education for your children or grandchildren.

The public will be invited to weigh in with its views on the calendar for the 2015-16 school year, the Campbell River School Board decided during its regular meeting Tuesday. School District 72 Superintendent Tom Longridge presented the Board with five calendar options for the 2015/2016 school year. They had been drafted based on calendar committee feedback. After reviewing the options, the Board

passed a motion to select three options to be made public on, or before, Feb. 27 for feedback. The calendar committee is comprised of representatives from the Board of Education, Campbell River Principals’ and VicePrincipals’ Association, Campbell River District Teachers’ Association, CUPE Local 723, the District Parent Advisory Council, senior management, the Core Pro-D coordinator,

Aboriginal Education Advisory Council, and students from Carihi and Timberline secondary schools. Following consideration of public feedback and recommendations from the calendar committee, the Board will select the final school calendar at either the Mar. 3 or Mar. 24 public meeting. The final school calendar is required to be submitted to the Ministry of Education by Mar. 31.

RBC Foundation donates to KidStart

The RBC Foundation has just renewed its commitment to local children and youth with a donation of $15,000 to KidStart. KidStart generates benefits for Campbell River families by matching kids who could use extra support with volunteer mentors. Offered by the John Howard Society of North Island (JHSNI), KidStart engages children and youth ages 6-18 in confidence-building recreational activities while they spend one-to-one time with a positive adult role model. “KidStart fits well with the RBC Foundation’s values. We like the fact that KidStart helps so many families and JHSNI’s work touches on many different aspects of our community,” said Matthijs Bruining, RBC Branch Manager. Peter Phillips, RBC Account Manager for Business and Commercial Markets, is a KidStart mentor. In addition to the

$15,000 donation, RBC also gave $500 to KidStart this year to recognize Phillips’ volunteer contribution. If an employee volunteers for a community cause 40 or more hours per year, the bank will donate up to $500 to that charity. Wendy Richardson, JHSNI’s executive director, said the agency is delighted with RBC’s donations. “RBC’s support helps young people in KidStart make positive choices and grow into healthy adults. We’re hearing from families that their

Expanded services to test people for blood-borne diseases More prevention, testing and treatment services will be available for people throughout Island Health who are living with – or at risk for contracting – blood-borne diseases such as HIV or AIDS. “I am pleased to see that Island Health is expanding these important ser vices,” said Health Minister Terry Lake. “The importance of reaching and engaging people in care is why we have expanded the successful STOP HIV/AIDS program to communities

throughout the province, with $19.9 million targeted funding annually province-wide.” Island Health’s new services are part of, and funded by, the provincial Seek and Treat for Optimal Prevention of HIV/ AIDS (STOP HIV/ AIDS) initiative, which is focused on increasing the reach of HIV prevention, testing and care with the aim to provide early links to care, treatment and support, improve the health of those living with or vulnerable to HIV, and prevent further

infections. “Island Health is increasing prevention, testing and treatment programs for everyone, in alignment with the provincial STOP HIV/ AIDS program and the From Hope to Health: Towards an AIDS-free Generation strategic framework,” said Dr. Richard Stanwick, Chief Medical Health Officer, Island Health. “We want to make testing routine, whether an individual is knowingly at risk for contracting a blood-borne disease or not. While we

continue to reach out to those who are most vulnerable, marginalized and at higher risk, we know that a significant proportion of new infections involve individuals from the general population who are unaware of their status. Our goal, in the course of controlling and preventing these infections, is to work with our community partners to make testing and treatment a routine procedure for everyone.” In November 2014, Island Health issued three Requests For Pro-

posals (RFPs) seeking community-based organizations to deliver services related to the prevention, testing and treatment of blood-borne diseases, as well as to provide harm reduction and education programs. On the North Island, AIDS Vancouver Island has been selected to deliver these evidence-based programs and services specified under the province’s STOP HIV/AIDS program. In total, Island Health is distributing $650,000 in provincial STOP

HIV funding for community partners across the Island for specific evidence-based interventions, bringing the total funding for community agencies to support harm reduction, education, prevention, testing and treatment for blood-borne diseases to $1.98 million. In addition, Positive Wellness in Campbell River is also a recipient of STOP HIV/ AIDS funding. “ The best way to ensure early diagnosis is to make testing as easy and as accessible as pos-

sible,” said Stanwick. “The approach under the STOP HIV/AIDS program takes a proven bestpractice methodology in the management of the threat and reality of the transmission of bloodborne diseases in our communities. Modifying our programs and partnerships to implement new gains in knowledge will not always be easy. However, in our quest to do what is best for the population we serve I am confident that the success realized elsewhere will happen here.”

Fans with a whole lotta love for the music of Led Zeppelin are invited to Tidemark Theatre Mar. 4 to get their Led out with Led Zepagain, a tribute band original Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page calls, “as close as you’ll ever get to the real deal.” From the high-energy electric classics to the intricate acoustic arrangements, Led Zepagain resurrects Page’s soaring guitar leads, Jones’ brilliant keyboard passages, B onham’s trademark pounding rhythms and the signature Robert Plant vocals. Fans will experience the group’s homage through immortal classics “Stairway to Heaven”, “Immigrant Song”, “Whole Lotta Love”, “Rock ‘n’ Roll” and “Black Dog”, just to name a few. Taking on the role of Jimmy Page is Jimmy Sakurai, whose obsessive drive to perfectly recreate Page’s live performances delivers the real deal. The self-described “musical stalker” adheres

“

THEY SAID IT: “It’s as close as you’ll ever get to the real deal.”

– Jimmy Page

to the philosophy, “Anybody can follow musical patterns, and everybody ends there, but for me, that is a starting point.” Sakurai’s diligent study of film and photo results in attention to the smallest of details. Irish-born lead singer David “Swan” Montgomery delivers an uncanny portrayal of Robert Plant. Commenting on how much Swan looked like Plant, Roger Daltry recently pulled him on stage by for a duet rendition of “Help From My Friends”. Swan has lent his voice to numerous recordings, including the widely released Witchblade Soundtrack, which featured such artists as Daltry and G. Tom Mac. Multi-instrumentalist

Jim Wootten, nephew of the legendary guitarist Les Paul, fills the demanding role of John Paul Jones, masterfully covering bass, keyboards, mandolin, acoustic six- and 12-string guitars, and backing vocals. Having grown up in a family that was musically inclined instilled in Wootten a love for music and inspired him to pursue his own dream of becoming a professional musician. Jim’s hallmark is his attention to detail. Having studied drums and percussion with Carmine Appice, Joe Porcaro, and at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, Jim Kersey brings his amazing feel for the great, John “Bonzo” Bonham to Led Zepagain. This amazing drummer leaves audiences shouting for more after every performance of Zeppelin’s epic drum solo, “Moby Dick!” Doors open at 7 p.m. for the 7:30 p.m. show, presented by Rock.It Boy

The tribute band Led Zepagain is scheduled to bring the music of Led Zeppelin to life at the Tidemark Theatre Mar. 4.

Local fans of piano music can get a preview right here in Campbell River when Ruan performs at Trinity Presbyterian Church at 7 p.m. Mar. 7. Ruan excels academically and is looking forward to an exciting University career starting this fall. She was born in Tokyo, Japan; and began her music studies in Shanghai, China, at the age of seven. The following year, her family emigrated to Canada,

where she continued her studies under the tutelage of Dr. Corey Hamm and Professor Xiao Li. Linda has been praised for her “great passion and poise.” She has won many awards and scholarships already in her very young career. The highlights include: • Ruan was one of two Canadian pianists to advance to the live rounds of the 2013 International e-Piano Junior Competition; • In the summers of 2012 and 2014, she was among the few pianists across Canada to be accepted to the Internationally renowned ‘Morningside Music Bridge’ Programme; and • She was a prize-

Juggling books and baby bottles Carihi student has to accommodate her baby while attending classes as she transitions into adulthood Claire Billings CARIhI MIRROR

een pregnancy has always been a sensitive subject. In our society it is regarded as something negative and even something to be ashamed of. Katie Crombie, a 17-year-old Robron student, gave birth to her beautiful baby boy Tristan in October, 2014. Crombie has always been independent and strong, but through the pregnancy and birth of her son, she went through some of the hardest and most natural transitions of her life. She went from an

irresponsible teenager, to a loving, nurturing mother in nine months. Almost four months after the birth of Crombie’s child, she is helping change the stereotype of a single, teen mother in Campbell River. She goes to school every day, with more enthusiasm than most. She receives well above average grades and is more than happy to help her peers with their work. Crombie struggles, of course, as all students and mothers do, but her positive attitude and smile always shine through. “The hardest thing so far has been finding time to fit everything in.

I go to school full time. I’m trying to graduate this year, trying to get back at work and on top of it all, I have the responsibilities of a mom. That means waking up at six, daycare at seven, school until three, laundry during nap time, homework after bedtime, and then get ready for the next day,” Crombie says. “It’s all so worth it though; the most rewarding thing has been watching him grow. He has something new to show me every day. From his first giggles to the first time he rolls over. I can’t wait to see what he will do next.” Crombie’s lifestyle has

changed drastically and through that, she has lost a lot of friends. “Kids who I thought were my friends would start rumours about me and stare at me while I wobbled though the hallways. Some of my family didn’t even support my decision to keep the baby,” Crombie says. “But I’d never change a thing. I love my life and who I am now. Even though it’s hard, I have great friends that support me and an amazing family that helps me every step of the way. “At a time like this, you see who you want to be there by your side for the rest of your life.”

Seventeen-year-old Katie Crombie welcomed her son Tristan into the world and her last year of high school last October.

Bullying and Cyberbullying Bullying

Bullying happens when there is an imbalance of power; where someone purposely and repeatedly says or does hurtful things to someone else. Bullying can occur one on one or in a group(s) of people. There are many different forms of bullying: ◼ Physical bullying (using your body or objects to cause harm): includes hitting, punching, kicking, spitting or breaking someone else’s belongings. ◼ Verbal bullying (using words to hurt someone): includes name calling,

put-downs, threats and teasing. ◼ Social bullying (using your friends and relationships to hurt someone): includes spreading rumours, gossiping, excluding others from a group or making others look foolish or unintelligent. This form of bullying is most common among girls (Canadian Children’s Rights Council). Cyberbullying Cyberbullying involves the use of communication technologies such as the Internet, social networking sites,

BOOMERS & Beyond Senior Centre is really cooking J.R. Rardon, Campbell River Mirror Since moving into their new home in the Campbell River Common six weeks ago, members of the Campbell River Seniors’ Centre Society are really cooking. No, really. Cooking. “One of our primary programs is serving lunches,” said Helen Whitaker, president of the society initially formed and chartered in 2009. “We call our kitchen the Heart and Soul kitchen, because it really is the heart and soul of the centre.” Regular hot lunches are prepared and served five days a week at the new centre, which was opened Jan. 5 in a ribbon-cutting ceremony with representatives of

CAMPBELL RIVER

BOOMERS & Beyond Boomers watched the world evolve Today it seems like a ridiculous fantasy, but not so long ago we all thought we’d be flying in our cars by the twenty-first century. Not all of our predictions were so wild and premature, though. Baby boomers have had the good fortune to be witness to a continual parade of discoveries, inventions, and technological advances which have changed our daily lives forever. And it’s not over yet! Developments have changed the way we communicate, travel, and entertain ourselves. Progress in agriculture and food production, as well as in science and medicine, has given us a longer lifespan and made daily living easier and more comfortable. All of this has taken place under the guidance of the endlessly curious and high-performing baby boomer generation. These pioneers learned how to use objects that are now an integral part of our daily lives: microwave ovens, disposable razors, Velcro, scanners, bar codes, chip cards, fibre optics, computers, GPS, and the Internet. Boomers saw the conquest of space and the first human steps on the moon, the appearance of the contraceptive pill and in vitro fertilization, and the first successful heart transplant operation. Baby boomers were there when television become a fixture of life;

Boomers have adapted to a lot of new technologies: black and white TV, colour, and then flat screens; rotary telephones and handheld devices and now smart phones.

they watched it go from black and white to colour and from analogue to digital and from huge cabinets to small flat screens — and don’t forget the advent of the now-ubiquitous remote control! Boomers saw film go to video recorders to digital recorders and they saw music go from radio to compact discs and then to MP3 players. They saw rotary telephones become smart phones. Who knows what they will witness next!

It is very common to develop insomnia as we get older. There are many reasons for this but here are some simple remedies that can make a difference. First of all many people wake up during the night to urinate and then have difficulty getting back to sleep. I have found in my clinical practice that wheat irritates the bladder and when people reduce their consumption of wheat in general their bladder feels better. In men urinary frequency is often due to an enlarged prostate and herbal combinations containing saw palmetto can be very effective in reducing the size of the prostate. Magnesium is a natural antispasmodic for the bladder and may help reduce the number of nightly visits to the washroom. Calcium and magnesium also helps with sleep onset and I recommend this in place of hot milk, as cow’s milk is a

common food sensitivity. Vitamin B12 in the form of methylcobalamine, helps to increase melatonin levels in the brain naturally. As we get older we have less hydrochloric acid produced in our stomach resulting in lower Vitamin B12 status. B12 in the chewable, liquid or injectable form can be a very effective way to improve the body’s stores and the benefits can be far reaching. Most people have more energy, and sleep does improve over time. It is also fantastic for moods, balance and memory. So before you take yet another prescription for sleep, ask your Naturopathic Physician for help. Dr. Pincott will be lecturing on this topic at Berwick By the Sea in Campbell River, on March 3rd at 2pm. The seating is limited so RSVP required. Call Wendy 250- 8501353.

Storm bombard Oceanside net in 62-shot playoff opener

ALISTAIR TAYLOR/CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Pucks weren’t the only things flying at Oceanside Generals netminder David Anderson. Gage Colpron (above) and Connor Logan (bottom, right) collided with the goaltender during the Storm’s 4-1 playoff-opening win. Most of the action was in the Generals’ end all night with Anderson keeping the score as close as it was. Game two goes tonight, 7:30 p.m. at The Brindy.

Gage Colpron had a goal and two assists as the Campbell River Storm defeated the Oceanside Generals 4-1 in the opening game of their best of seven playoff series played Wednesday night at Rod Brind’Amour Arena. The Storm fired a season high 62 shots on Generals goaltender David Anderson, who kept the score respectable with a number of brilliant saves. “You’ve got to give credit to Anderson,” said Storm head coach Lee Stone, “He plays very square (to the puck), always makes the first save, and has great hands. But I don’t think we did much to take his strengths away. We have to shoot low because he

pumps out rebounds -two of goals tonight were off rebounds in the slot.” Wi l l Mc Namar a opened the scoring, hammering home one of those rebounds at 6:08 of the first period. Kobe Oishie made it 2-0 exactly eight minutes later, picking the top corner with a hard wrist shot after dashing down the left wing. Josiah Friesen assisted on both goals. Oceanside cut the lead in half at 13:26 of the second period on Brendan Bilotta’s power play marker, just seconds after the Storm had killed off a lengthy two-man advantage. However, Michael Olson made it 3-1 less than two minutes later after a nice set up by line-mates Col-

pron and Josh Coblenz. Anderson managed to weather a third period barrage, stopping all 20 shots fired his way, only to see Colpron put the game away with an empty net marker in the final minute. Riley Welyk faced 17 shots in the Campbell River net. The Storm power play went 0 for 6, while Oceanside was 1 for 4. The locals dressed four affiliate players (Coblenz, Dawson Frank, Liam Nijhoff, and Nic Kirchner) as a number of regulars served suspensions for their part in a fight-filled contest against Comox Valley last weekend. Game 2 goes 7:30 tonight at Rod Brind’Amour Arena.

Stone named VIJHL Coach of the Year The Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League handed out a couple of awards prior to the game on Wednesday night. Storm captain Jordan Rauser (left) received the Community Leadership Award, while Campbell River head coach Lee Stone was honoured as the VIJHL’s Coach of the Year.

Bantams to play for Island title

AlistAir tAylor/CAmpbell river mirror

The Pee Wee Tyees defeated Victoria 7-5 in the Tier 2 semi final at Rod Brind’Amour Arena on Saturday.

The KLP Construction Bantam A Tyees will play for the right to represent the Island at the British Columbia Bantam Tier 2 Championships. The team travelled south to face the Saanich Braves this past Sunday. The Braves finished the South Island playoffs sitting at the top of the standings, which secured them home ice advantage in the crossover game. The Tyees and Braves have not faced each other this season so neither team knew what to expect from their opponent. The Campbell River

squad was coming off two lopsided wins in their final games of the round robin, winning by a combined score of 24-1. The fans were hoping that the boys would be able to raise their intensity level, as Saanich is a perennial powerhouse in Tier 2. It was clear from the drop of the puck that the Tyees were wanting to make a statement. The vast majority of the first 10 min were spent in the Braves end. The visiting team peppered the Saanich goalie with shots. Despite the near constant pressure, Saa-

The Sixth-Annua1

nich was able to open the scoring, on a perfect shot, post and in. To the delight of the Campbell River fans, Codey Savey was able to tie the game up with a blast from the point. The second period looked very similar to the first, the Tyees dominating territorial play, but the Braves were able to keep their opponents to the outside and not allow many shots from the slot. Savey scored another beauty to put the Tyees in the lead, assisted by Damian Rennie and Jacob Hartley. The lead would be short lived, as the Braves were able to tie the game on the power play. Once again the boys from the north took the lead, this time Braydon Kratzmann finished a beautiful passing play from River Fahey and Jalen Price. As was advertised the feisty Braves were not going to go away quietly, as they

scored again, sending the teams to the dressing rooms tied at three. L i k e t h e m i g ht y fish that our teams are named after, the Tyees seemed to smell wounded herring in the water. Matthew Ubriaco broke the deadlock in the first minute of the third, with a rocket from the point, assisted by Nolan Corrado. Kratzmann tallied his second of the game tipping in a shot from Brendan Almer. The Tyees continued to circle; especially Codey Savey, line mates, Hartley and Rennie would set up Savey for his hat trick, and extending the Campbell River lead to three. The last few minutes were not without drama, as our boys found themselves with three skaters in the box. This was a very difficult game for a goaltender, long periods without any action, then being forced to make Cont. Pg. 29

Midget Tyees cruise to Tier 2 final series

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY FEBRUARY 20, 20, 2015 2015 || CAMPBELL CAMPBELL RIVER RIVER MIRROR MIRROR || 29 29

www.CampbellRiverMirror.com www.CampbellRiverMirror.com

The Panago Midget Tyees have scorched through the Vancouver Island Tier II playoffs, pounding Comox 10-2 and Nanaimo 11-0 two weekends ago, advancing to the first place in the North versus second place in the South sudden death cross-over game against Victoria Ice Hawks last Sunday at the Rod Brind’amour Arena. The games against the Tier II Comox and Nanaimo squads were exercises in managing injury, maintaining intensity and sportsmanship and developing players in low intensity situations, all variably accomplished. Having helped the tier I Comox team win their first banner in years by defeating Juan de Fuca in their final game of the regular season, the Tyee/ Chief match felt at times like a family skate at the lake. The Nanaimo game had more intensity, but the final score was even more lopsided, and the team was brimming with confidence. By Sunday, Campbell River had lost stars Devyn Grant to a fluke off-ice injury, Travis Goodwin to an aggravation of an older injury,

Jake McKenzie to a slow to heal injury (though he played sparingly anyway) and Liam Rivet to administrative issues, and the elimination playoff game suddenly began to provoke anxiety as puck drop approached. The return of both Deion Thompson and Rio Massee was encouraging though, and the even numbers did allow for regular combinations, which the coaching staff took full advantage of. The game started fast, with the Ice Hawks flying at the Tyees with an aggressive fore-check and hard, physical play. Campbell River was happy to reciprocate, and opened the scoring early with Tyson Dumont beating the Victoria goalie with a shot from the point, Gage Crawford doing much of the set-up work. Keaton Dion then scored on a floater, and it looked like the game was well in hand. Victoria got one back before the end of the first period however, off a goal-mouth scramble which seemed to raise their tempo again. A shift from Grady McInnes changed that.

nation he scored unassisted with a hard wrist shot from the slot, giving the Tyees a 3-1 lead. Victoria showed character in clawing back into the game in the second period with two straight goals, neither of which gave Michael Sampson much chance in the Campbell River net. A restless crowd at this point recognized the implications, but in the last minute of the

second period McInnes forced his will on the game again, setting up Owen Boyd for a tap in after another display of complete puck control. A spectacular aroundthe-world glove save by Sampson then sealed it for the Tyees before McInnes blew a slap shot through the Victoria netminder as cries of “don’t let him shoot!” echoed through the Brindy rafters. Boyd added an empty netter for a 6-3

victory. The Tyees will now face the Saanich Braves in a best of three series

an important save. Starting goalie, Matt Johnson saved his best play for the final four minutes. With the team two men down, Johnson stopped a barrage of chances from the Braves, including a breakaway, flashing the leather and preserving the win for the mighty Tyees. On a very unselfish play as time was winding down, Nolan Corrado passed up an open net to feed Savey for his fourth of the game. Final score 7-4. The win propels the Tyees into the Island Final against a very familiar foe. The Powell River Kings will host game number one of the best of three final series. Game two will be at Rod BrindA`mour Arena on Sunday, Feb. 22 at 12:15 p.m.

with the winner advancing to the provincial championships. With Campbell River having

won home ice advantage, game one starts at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday at Rod Brind’Amour Arena.

OUR IN-STOCK WINTER TIRES NEED A GOOD HOME. LIKE YOURS!

The view from Poplar Grove over Okanagan Lake is spectacular as is the Syrah, which, like the best of the winery’s reds, benefits from the extra aging afforded by cellaring it for a couple of years longer than the norm. A three-kilometre side trip to Red Rooster netted a Reserve Syrah, which exuded yummy plum and cherry from its neck, once opened! One more stop before a relaxing evening spent staring over the lake while sipping on a suite balcony at the Summerland Waterfront Resort. The snowy and very icy single track to the new Sage Hills Vineyard in Summerland required careful navigation. The reward was a barrel tasting with winemaker Andrea Lee and vineyard manager Keenan Thrussell. The new vintage had yet to be bottled but a rosé version hit the spot later! Time to return to the coast via Sandhill Wines in Kelowna. Howard Soon, a B.C. born industry pioneer, makes Syrah from vineyards in the south of the valley and a special ‘small lots’ version from a

single vineyard. By the time the rear two rows were lowered to accommodate the purchased cases of wine, the seven-seat MDX was strictly a two-seater. Despite its load, it leapt up to the Pennask Summit on the Okanagan Connector as fast the outside temperature dropped to minus five. The Coquihalla Highway was bathed in sunlight and the descent to Hope was smooth and quiet but for the rattle from the bottles. Bring on the Aussies! If you can’t get to the festival tasting room, tour Okanagan wine country this summer… with a designated driver, of course. Power: 3.5-litre SOHC, V6, 290 hp, with 6-speed auto paddle shifters and grade control. Fill-up: 12.7/8.5L/100km (city/hwy) Price as tested: $63,990 Base price: $49,990 keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Safety Tip:

Of the 27 BC wineries featured at the upcoming Vancouver International Wine Festival (February 20 until March 1), 16 Okanagan Valley vineyards will pour wine made from this year’s featured grape – Syrah. Our Search for Syrah in an Acura MDX took us to eight of those wineries.

Learning with the right tools

By Alexandra Straub

Mecaglisse, Que. – For someone learning to be a better winter driver, having appropriate tires, a mechanically sound vehicle and the right teachers will certainly increase confidence in slippery situations. Enter Porsche’s Camp4: a winter driving program available to everyone. But what’s it like for someone who’s already considered a professional driver? – BC resident Scott Hargrove is well versed in racing. He joined our group of international journalists on the program.

Some research studies have shown surprising data that demonstrate a link between dental health and the health of the body’s major organs. That is, bacterial accumulation in the mouth of an animal can cause dental health problems, which result in the formation of lesions. In turn, these lesions leak pathogenic agents into the rest of the body’s systems. Some factors

If your animal swallows food without chewing, it is very likely to be suffering from a dangerous accumulation of tartar on the teeth. Prevention is always the best method. Animals need to have their teeth brushed regularly, just like us. It is imperative to accustom them to having their teeth and gums handled by the age of two months. By doing this, teeth brushing will be a breeze when they are adults.

AVALON RELAXATION Massage. Certified European Masseuse. An exquisite escape. 250-204-0956 By Appt.

Franklin John ERICKSON passed away peacefully on Monday, February 9th in the early afternoon at Glacier View Lodge. He was the 3rd son of first generation immigrants, Fred and Emelia Erickson. He was born on June 11th 1940 in Comox, living all his life in Merville, content on the same land his parents owned and raised their three boys. Dad leaves behind his eldest son Murray, who has been devoted to his care and well being, the very qualities that Dad showed to his parents; his second son Ricky, who he forever worried about and loved unconditionally; his only daughter Tami and her adoring husband John, knowing they had each other filled his heart with contentment. Andrea, the true love of his life that gave him his family who he loved so much. GrandsonÂ Adam and granddaughter Quinn (Murray & Carol) andÂ grandson JakobÂ (Tami & John).Â Dad was very proud of his grandchildren. He spoke of them often to friends and acquaintances. David Erickson (brother), Mitchell Erickson (nephew), Marty, Trevor (nephew), Glenda, Margaret Erickson (sister in-law), Carol Gairns (niece), son Erik & family, daughter Courtenay, Susan Erickson (niece), Steve, daughter Jennika, Robert Erickson (nephew), Heather. In Sweden and Finland he leaves many aunts, uncles, cousins and relatives he had only met a few times or never. Because his parents were immigrants, he never had any extended family in Canada until he and his brothers married and had children. The community of Merville became his family as there were many in the same situation. He is predeceased by his maternal grandmother Selma Aronoja, his parents Fred and Emelia Erickson, brother Harry Erickson, his daughter in-law Carol Erickson nee McPhee and sister-in-law Sondra Erickson. So many friends he shall miss. His crib group he loved to play with, the friend from Nanaimo we never met. We only heard how kind he was with encouraging phone calls to Dad, thank you. The many friends from Merville now and years ago in the good times, his car pool to the mill, the many friends and co-workers from Elk Falls that would stop to visit with him, the Merville neighbor that watched over him and kept his wood pile going, the Merville strong man that would come and pick him up when he fell and his wife that made perogies, his Mexico residing drinking buddy and the best bread making lady that moved into Courtenay. There are so many of you I am sure we have missed but please know we are as thankful for you being part of his life as you are thankful to have known him. Our heart is full of thanks to the staff of Glacier View Lodge for the caring and comfort they gave to Dad. He felt at home only because you made him feel that way and allowed him the dignity of his days. Also to the staff at St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital for the nursing and the laughter you encouraged. To Dr. Reggler and the years of service to his most loyal patient. He never gave up on you nor you on him. Dad was a people person. He always had a joke to tell or a fat wallet with a printed joke inside to give away. He especially liked to give newlyweds his famous nuff nuff joke. Always having someone around to talk with made him happiest. He could talk to anyone about anything, confident that people wouldn't disappoint him and join him in conversation and amazingly they usually did. In fact they were quite delighted to converse, it often made their day, wondering, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Who was that man?" â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was our Dad, Frank Erickson" Flowers gratefully declined.
