Passionate support saves Sportsplex from closure Council casts around for savings from any source KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Closing the Sportsplex to make up a budget deficit isn’t off the table, but any potential closure would be less than six months long.

City council was going through a list of service items at Tuesday’s financial meeting to see how much money could be shaved off the city’s $3.6 million 2012 budget deficit.

“I’m probably speaking for all of council that all the options on the table we would not like to have to consider at all,” said Coun. Andy Adams. “But knowing the situation we’re in, we can’t do it all on reserves. We’re going to be talking about some Continued on A3

Brave attempt on Valentine’s Day Ken Blackburn, Campbell River Arts Council executive director, tried to get a love poetry flash mob going at Spirit Square on Tuesday. This was a case when the media did truly outnumber the audience but Blackburn was undeterred and pressed on valiantly with his poetry reading. On an unseasonallywarm and sunny Valentine’s Day, it was an opportunity missed by the general public to enjoy some classic poetry and some fresh air. Maybe next year.

Willow Point water park makes it onto budget discussion list KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

In addition to service cuts, council also had to consider service level changes for 2012.

Senior management thoroughly reviewed the list of all service level change requests and came up with two lists.

Making the cut on the recommended list were, among other things, city website

re-design; Argonaut Road improvements; utility box vandalism program; and transit stop maintenance and improvements. On the not recommended list were: quarterly community reports; Local Government Awareness Week activities; McIvor Lake Road improvements; and Shoppers Row LED street light section.

Council rescued the Willow Point Splash Park and an increase

in transit services from the ‘not recommended list’, moving both to the list for future budget discussions. City staff had penciled in $30,000 in annual maintenance for the Rotary Club’s splash park – slated for construction in April and a June opening – and $75,000 to provide water to the park as not recommended.

City staff had also put a transit increase in evening service and connection to the

Comox Valley on the not recommended list.

Council removed one item off the ‘recommended list’ and that was asphalt overlay, which is needed to address surface deterioration.

T he overlay was slated to go on Petersen Road from Hopton to 14th Avenue ($102,000) with an additional 400 metres of asphalt curb ($10,000) and on Petersen Road ($37,000).

Budget: Sportsplex savings sought from programming Continued from A1 things that are passionate to some people and I’d encourage people to come forward with their ideas.”

At the forefront of people’s minds was the Sportsplex, which would save the city $453,500 if it were to close for one year.

“When we read that one of the suggestions by the city manager to reduce costs was to close the Sportsplex for six months to a year we were quite disturbed,” wrote Bruce and Wendy Murdoch in a letter to the city. “We would estimate that the Sportsplex provides services to thousands of people which includes property tax payers and their families.”

At the meeting, Coun. Claire Moglove presented a motion – which passed – to take closing the Sportsplex off the table.

“Here’s one that I’m passionate about,”

Moglove said. “I think closing the Sportsplex for one year or six months is a nonstarter.”

Coun. Ryan Mennie agreed.

“We don’t bring in the revenue to support the actual running of the building but the worth of that building to the community can’t be put on a page,” he said.

However, council directed city staff to report back on possible savings if the city were to reduce the amount of programming at the Sportsplex or close the facility for a period, such as during the summer months.

Council also agreed to, for now, keep Centennial Pool open and possibly fund pool operations through the gaming reserve. It also chose to continue irrigation, garbage pickup in parks, and mowing and maintenance of sports fields.

Council also chose

to keep a reduction of fire crews down to three on the table ($311,310 in savings), for discussion at a future financial meeting. Moglove wants more information on how Campbell River compares to other similar-sized communities, the legalities of reducing the number of first responders, and why other communities – such as Courtenay – have a volunteer, rather than a paid, fire department.

But council did pare down some services.

One park specialist position (grass trimming and hand mowing) was eliminated; the council contingency budget was reduced by $50,000 per year; and council travel expenditures were capped at $20,000 for 2012. Council will also consider reducing horticulture (tree and shrub planting, landscaping) by 50 per cent; increasing business licence fees;

reducing its fleet by 20 per cent; decreasing repair levels on facilities; increasing park user fees and reducing the number of staff Blackberries.

Council is also debating co-ordinating its economic development bodies such as Rivercorp, Tourism, Visitor Centre, Creative Industries and INFilm, which make up $582,500 of the 2012 budget.

“I do think there are cost savings to be had by co-ordinating economic initiatives but I’d like to know more about that,” Moglove said. “I think the way to go is this co-ordination but I definitely think we need more information.”

Council will continue budget planning during financial meetings on Feb. 28, March 13 and March 28.

All meetings start at 6:30 p.m. at City Hall and are open to the public.

Foster parent hopes for return of missing stroller PAUL RUDAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The foster parent of two young children is hopeful someone returns her valuable and muchneeded two-seater stroller.

“One is 14 months old and the four-year-old is special needs, he’s designated as deaf and blind. For him, the stroller is security,” said Annemieke Grono.

The Twin Raven stroller cost Grono $800. It’s lightweight, easy to manoeuvre and has large wheels enabling Grono to take the kids “wherever.”

On Monday, Grono and the kids went to the Salvation Army Thrift Store on Homewood Road. But after she had loaded the children back into their van and left, she realized she had forgotten the stroller.

When Grono returned, it was gone.

“Having someone take it has really shattered my faith in humanity,” she said.

Grono has been a foster parent for almost 15 years. She said the

A foster parent of two young children is hoping the person who took her stroller on Monday morning, near the Salvation Army Thrift Store, returns it, no questions asked.

four-year-old boy is with her permanently and the stroller is one of the “tools of her trade.”

The theft was reported to RCMP, but Grono is just hoping someone returns it, no questions asked.

The stroller can be returned to the RCMP detachment or call Grono at 250-923-5088.

City may back out of Bloom contest KRISTEN DOUGLAS

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The city may not compete in Communities in Bloom this year – the first year Campbell River is invited to compete at the international level.

The Communities in Bloom Committee made a presentation to council in January asking the city for $27,000. At the time, council was hesitant to approve the funding – which includes a $950 registration fee – due to a $3.6 million budget deficit.

On Tuesday, council debated not participating in the competition–

one of several service cuts under consideration.

But, according to Mayor Walter Jakeway, the Communities in Bloom committee may have already made that decision for the city.

“I believe a recommendation is coming from the committee to not participate at all this year,” Jakeway said. “I suspect it’s not going to happen this year.”

Jakeway said he wasn’t positive where the information had come from, but he thought it was from City Manager Andy Laidlaw.

Ro s s M i l n t h o r p,

the city’s manager of parks, recreation and culture, said that was the first he had heard of such information.

“The mayor’s comments (Tuesday) night took me by surprise,” said Milnthorp, who added he was meeting with the committee on Thursday, after the Mirror went to press.

Milnthorp also said he believes the committee plans to come as a delegation at the Feb. 21 council meeting.

It appeared the rest of council was also unaware the committee may be pulling out of the competition.

B e f o r e J a k e w ay spoke, Coun. Claire

Moglove said her intention was to keep Communities in Bloom on the table.

“I think it’s not in the city’s best interest to not participate in this one,” Moglove said. “When the committee presented (last month) they said if we don’t participate in 2012, then we have to start from the beginning again (at the provincial level).”

Moglove suggested council reduce the Communities in Bloom budget by $13,000.

Coun. Mary Storry reluctantly agreed.

“It’s certainly with a heavy heart that I don’t support the full

amount,” Storry said.

But after Jakeway spoke, council decided to hold off on making any decisions before hearing from the committee.

Last year the city participated at the national level and won the 20,001-50,000 population category, and received five out of five blooms. The city also received special mention for the Baikie Island Restoration project, the Sustainable Development Award and an award for the best community exhibit at Communities in Bloom’s symposium and awards ceremony in Quebec.

Hefty fishing fine set aside Judge orders new trial for man fined $120,000 PAUL RUDAN

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A new trial has been ordered for a commercial fisherman who was fined $120,000 for unlawfully possessing halibut and rockfish.

Gerald Dalum, 67, received the hefty fine last June in Campbell River provincial court after being found

guilty on four fisheries charges.

At trial, the Crown contended that Dalum was carrying approximately 31,000 pounds of halibut over his quota as well an excess of various rockfish, when he docked in Port Hardy in March 2007.

Dalum’s lawyer had argued that his client had intended to buy extra quota from two other fishermen prior to heading out to sea, but they backed out of the deal.

By that time, Dalum was already fishing and had exceeded his personal quota.

As an alternative, he thought he could purchase the extra quota from SM Products, a fish buying company, something he had done in the past.

The company did buy the fish, but did not sell Dalum the extra quota.

As a result, Dalum was later charged with nine violations following an investigation by Fisheries and Oceans Canada. Five of those charges were dropped by the Crown, but Dalum was found guilty on four counts

by Judge Brian Saunderson.

“In short, Mr. Dalum took a calculated risk in purchasing insufficient quota,” the judge said in a written decision. “One of the guiding principles of the Plan states that, ‘Fishers will be individually accountable for their catch.’ That is a clear warning that non-compliance with the fisheries regulations will result in sanctions.”

The judge fined the veteran commercial fisher man $120,000, but last week B.C. Supreme Court Justice Loryl Russell allowed Dalum’s appeal and ordered a new trial.

In a written decision, the Justice Russell found Judge Saunderson’s decision confusing. “…there is nothing in the reasons to indicate to me why the trial judge preferred the facts as asserted by the Crown over that of the defence,” she wrote.

“I find that I cannot make a proper determination on whether an error has occurred without truly understanding what the trial judge has decided and why.”

It’s unknown if the Crown will try Dalum a second time.

Space running out for popular memorial bench program KRISTEN DOUGLAS

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The city is running out of space for memorial benches and there is a wait list for the coveted landmarks a mile long.

The city’s Legacy Landmarks Program makes it possible for the community to purchase items, in memory of loved ones, which are then placed in parks.

The program began in 2001 and since then, 136 benches and 52 pic-

nic tables have been installed in parks and along trails, said Ross Milnthorp, the city’s manager of parks, recreation and culture.

“Generally speaking, the most popular places for memorializations are along the Sea Walk and along popular trails and in popular parks and in most of these places, space has run out,” Milnthorp said.

And the city has a wait list of 59 people.

Milnthorp said when the prog ram

was started, there were very few conditions, and no contract to determine a lease period for benches or tables.

“It can be assumed that purchasers were under the impression that their items had been bought in perpetuity,” Milnthorp said.

“As a result, the program has reached its capacity and there are only a few locations left for customers to place a memorial item.”

Coun. Andy Adams said the idea of using

trees for memorials was brought up during a Development Advisory Committee meeting.

“Why not expand the program?” Adams asked at last week’s Tuesday council meeting. “People could plant a tree with a small plaque in recognition.”

Milnthorp said that idea hasn’t been ruled out but noted it can be difficult to recognize someone at a tree site.

Milnthorp said the other issue the city

is dealing with is rising costs – mostly to replace and maintain the items.

To try and solve the problems, staff researched similar programs and are now recommending: establishing a 10-year lease term, with an option to renew; a maintenance agreement that allows the city to replace a damaged item; increasing the prices; and considering creating concrete screens/sculptures for installation of memorial plaques.

Look around you the next time you are out on the highway. Do the adults out there provide a good example for our new drivers? I’m sorry to say that in my view most of them do not. Almost no one follows the speed limit and the rest of the rules hold until them become inconvenient.

“Haven’t you got anything better to do?” or “You’re nothing but a tax collector!” were sentiments that I heard many, many times in my traffic law enforcement career. Do you think that the children listening to this in the back seat got the idea that following the traffic rules was something that was a high priority?

I’ve written before about teaching youth to drive in an article titled “Perpetuating Mediocrity.” Very few of us have the driving skills and knowledge necessary to teach new drivers completely.

Parents with bad driving attitudes produce young drivers with bad attitudes and their matching driving histories tell that tale.

Should we really be surprised when the young drivers fail to follow the rules?

Our View

Pot legalization’s time has come With former attorneys general, ex-municipal mayors and a host of medical health officers all advocating for the legalization of marijuana, the public should start to wonder what politicians are smokto make inaction seem like the We say: B.C. has ing right decision. the opportunity Former B.C. Attorney General Geoff Plant and his colleagues are to show some the latest to lobby the province for leadership reforms to its marijuana laws by ending prohibition on B.C.’s unofficial cash crop. Like prohibition of alcohol during the Great Depression made millionaires out of bootleggers

and gangsters, marijuana laws financially benefit both organized crime and petty criminals, while punishing taxpaying, law-abiding citizens for inhaling in the privacy of their homes. The framework for restriction, regulation and taxation of marijuana exists, through our extensive alcohol and tobacco legislation. Impairment laws currently apply to marijuana.

The federal Conservative government wants to increase the minimum penalty for pot offences, yet B.C.’s court system faces such a backlog that the vast majority of those charges would be dismissed before ever reaching court. Legalizing – and regulating – marijuana would ease that court burden, erasing minor

drug possession charges to free up court time for serious offences, such as drunk driving. It would also impact the international drug trade, which sees harder drugs cross the border in exchange for B.C. marijuana.

Where the face of the argument for legalization was once a grungy, hippie-ish fellow sparking a spliff, the movement now has top medical professionals, former municipal leaders and provincial ministers cutting through the haze with a clean image and a clear-cut case. B.C. has the opportunity to show leadership on a national scale by taking the profits of crime and returning it to society.

Letters

Above and beyond A week ago, I purchased a truck via auction from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans in Port Hardy.

Having flown up there in the morning, I set off southward hoping to catch the evening Comox ferry to Powell River.

Of course, I didn’t make that ferry, as the truck died about 15 km north of Woss. I had it towed to Campbell River’s Lordco parking lot (suspected alternator problem). Upon telling them my problem, they freely lent me tools to remove the alternator so I could match it up against what they had in stock. The part would have to be shipped in early the next day. They had no problem with me leaving the truck in their parking lot overnight. Early the next day I go to Penner Automotive to have my alternator checked out. The alternator was good. Now I am worried (Lemon anyone?).

Brent, the Penner Automotive owner, drives me back to my truck and has a look under the hood. He quickly notices the alternator fuse is missing! Doh! DFO’s fine mechanics decided they wanted the alternator fuse when they stripped the truck of their electronics (radio, lights etc.). What were they thinking! This is a fuse that bolts down, so it isn’t something easily removed.

Brent then sends a mechanic over to my truck with Continued on A9

Council needs help, so let’s take care of our own parks

Paul Rudan No, really

Campbell River’s would-be politicians should all breathe a sigh of relief.

I’m talking about the candidates who didn’t make the cut in last November’s municipal election.

Really, which one of them would want to be sitting on council now, trying to decide how to make up for a $3.5 million budget shortfall?

I wouldn’t want the job which is equivalent to that of the corporate hatchet-man. It’s not hard to predict that heads will roll followed by unprecedented service cutbacks.

You gotta do what you gotta do, as they say, but it won’t do much for their popularity. Maybe it’s a good thing the next election is three years away.

But enough harping about the mis-

erable task the mayor and council face, I think we need to help.

Helping is a way of life in Campbell River – just one of the things that make this a great little city.

Mind you, there’s not a whole lot the working taxpayer can do to somehow come up with a few million. But here’s one idea that could help as well as make this an even better community.

We should form neighbourhood groups to look after our local parks.

Grass cutting, tree trimming, planting flowers and shrubs, maintaining playgrounds, and sweeping the walkways could all be taken care of by these ad hoc associations.

Not only would this save tens of thousands of dollars annually, but it would also help improve neighbour-

hoods.

For instance, you can finally meet that neighbour who moved in next door four years ago. Better still, hold regular community barbecues in the parks and have games for kids, both big and small.

In essence it’s a step back to the old days when people made their own fun and took care of their own. Seems to me the priority these days is to rush home from work and sit in front of the TV or computer for hours on end.

Of course such a feel-good idea seems like an impossibility in this age of unreason.

Think back to previous summers when, due to budget limitations, the grass wasn’t cut in our parks for weeks and weeks. Only when the

neighbours went out with their own lawnmowers did the city take notice, as well as the employees’ union.

And that’s the problem. We have union workers whose job it is to tend to our parks. By and large, they do a great job.

However, if there are fewer employees and they’re not going to do the work anyway, what’s the harm in turning the responsibility over to people who really care: The neighbourhood residents who use the parks.

Desperate financial times call for creative measures. I think this little idea could save money and create positive community spirit.

How can that be bad? paulr@campbellrivermirror.com

What’s ruinous about trying to improve the health care system?

The discussion in the Feb10th editions of the local papers reflects two different times in history, one from 40-50 years ago and one addressing the needs of a health care system for today.

It is obvious that up-to-date health care delivery cannot be acheived with a system from the past.

We must always be aware that Health Care does not exist to add to a community’s econmic development or to maintain jobs for ‘dedicated personnel’ The debate around a hospital for every town comes from the past.

a fresh battery to get my truck over to their shop so they can install the missing fuse and recharge my new battery. Meanwhile, Lordco lent me tools again and recharged my battery while I waited for the mechanic. Once at Penner Automotive, they immediately sent a mechanic over to the Dodge dealership to get the specialized fuse, so I could be on my way quickly. My bill was $69, in total.

This includes the taxi ride (plus truck inspection), a mechanic escort (using one of their batteries), a parts

runs, and the fuse ($17) install and battery recharge. Usually, one would expect, as an out-of-towner to get hosed or more colloquially, charged at ‘top rate.’ But in my mind, I wasn’t charged at all.

The graciousness and generosity of Penner Automotive and Lordco left me feeling extreme g r at i t u d e t ow a rd s Campbell River.

Original location scrapped due to height restrictions RENÉE ANDOR BLACK PRESS

After months of quiet from the Vancouver Island Health Authority, the North Island Hospital Project has shown signs of progress lately.

According to Valerie Wilson, Vancouver Island Health Authority (VIHA) communications, the business case outlining hospital plans at North Island College’s (NIC) Comox Valley campus is now in government hands.

“Gover nment will now consider the business case,” said Wilson. “We do not know what their timelines around this would be, but if/when something is approved, there will be a formal announcement involving the partners in this project.”

Although the project is pending government approval, Wilson said talks regarding land acquisition with the college are going well.

The business case was completed and sent to government in late December, and if it’s approved, an 18to 24-month process to choose a contractor will begin. Construction would begin immediately after the proponent is chosen and construction is

expected to take 36 to 42 months from start to finish, according to the VIHA website.

The 10 acres of land at NIC was the second choice for the new hospital, after the first choice on Ryan Road across from Crown Isle was scrapped due to height restrictions on buildings. This 15-acre lot was within an area around CFB Comox and the Comox Valley Airport that restricts the height of structures to less than nine metres.

VIHA expects preliminary work, including designs, will be

transferrable to a new location at the college, about one kilometre from the first site.

The new facility is part of a two-hospital project that includes a new hospital in Campbell River. The latter will provide emergency service in and around Campbell River. Patients requiring a transfer will be transported to the Valley, Victoria or Vancouver. The local facility is expected to have 150 to 160 beds with some regional services. The Campbell River hospital will have 90 to 95 beds.

“If you put all the logs that were exported just last year on trucks and lined them up, it would stretch end-toend from B.C.’s coast all the way to Thunder Bay,” said New Democrat forest critic Norm Macdonald. “We have a premier who claims to want to create jobs, but exporting raw logs costs jobs in B.C. “There clearly needs to be more effort put into ensuring that more logs are processed in British Columbia and fewer are simply shipped overseas. It’s obvious that work

won’t be done by the B.C. Liberals.”

Macdonald, along with deputy critic Bill Routley, Fraser-Nicola MLA Harry Lali and North Island MLA Claire Trevena, will be embarking on a forestry tour beginning this week to discuss proposals to reduce raw log exports, get more value from our forests and stabilize the industry.

Since 2001, more than 70 mills have closed and the forest industry has shed more than 35,000 full-time, familysupporting jobs.

“The starting point is that B.C. logs should create B.C. jobs,” said Macdonald The tour will begin this week with stops on Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast beginning Thursday.

The four MLAs – who comprise the opposition caucus’ forestry committee – will meet with industry, labour, l o c a l g o ve r n m e n t representatives and other stakeholders in Chemainus, Nanaimo, Duncan, Sechelt, Powell River, Port Alberni, Comox and Campbell River.

Planning for Life Changes One of the first questions that come to mind after a death is “What now?”

It is a sad fact that although we try and plan for every eventuality in life, we often neglect to prepare for the one reality that will inevitably happen to us all.

Without question, one of the most important things one can do is be prepared beforehand. Sandy Poelvoorde However, even the best of intentions can fall victim to procrastination and you can find yourself on a hospital ward with a million questions. So…“What now?”

The most important thing to realize is you have time.

While simple burial arrangements can take place in as little as 24 hours, there is a legal requirement to wait 48 hours before proceeding with a cremation. That allows families at least two days to absorb the death, and yes, shop around. The cost for a basic cremation varies, anywhere from $2300.00 to as much as 3700.00. There are many reasons for varied costs and in each case it is important to know what you are paying for.

By law, any person can enter a funeral establishment and receive a pricelist. You do not need to give any personal information; you are not required or obligated to submit to an appointment to “get a better idea of what you are looking for”. There is nothing disrespectful in trying to find the best services to suit your unique needs and it is important to remember that the value of merchandise is not in any way a reflection of the value you place on your loved one.

You are being thoughtful and caring just by taking on such a heavy responsibility at one of the worst times of your life. Each decision you make is meaningful.

That is why it is so very hard.

One fact very few people are aware of is that in BC there is no legal requirement to hire a funeral director.

It’s true. The advantage to being your own funeral director can include lower costs and perhaps a much more personal approach to dealing with a beloved family member. The disadvantages, however, are numerous and they make the cost of a responsible funeral provider worth every penny. And always remember that a good funeral director will allow you to have as much personal involvement as you are comfortable with. They are there for you.

Valentine’s Fall Fiddle Contra Dance at the Merville Hall Let’s all give Old Man Winter the boot with a Family Valentine’s Contra Dance here in Merville.

On Saturday, the Funtime Fiddlers with Trent Freeman, at the Big Yellow Merville Hall, will play for your dancing pleasure almost all night long.

With a stage full of musicians keeping a driving beat, caller June Cannon will have the moves mapped out for the dancers to follow so that the hall will be a merry place

indeed. There will be a Contra Dance workshop right before the dance.

From 6:45-7:15 p.m., June will introduce the dancers to new moves as well as teach the basic moves. This workshop is free of charge.

At 7:30 p.m., the Funtime Fiddlers start the music and the dancing begins.

Single dancers are hugely welcome as they can pair up with anyone during the Contras and our Con-

tra sets last about 15 to 20 minutes per dance.

Contra dancing is a style of folk dance in which the dancers form a set of two parallel lines which run the length of the hall.

Many of the basic moves in Contra dancing are similar to those in square dancing (swings, promenades, dos-à-dos, allemandes).

The difference is that the dancers progress up or down the line eventually dancing with every other

couple in the line.

We’ll also have polkas, waltzes and reels; jigs and swing; schottisches and foxtrots for your enjoyment in between the called Contra dances. This way, there is a dance for everyone.

We are looking forward to the exciting addition of fiddler Trent Freeman as well as the famous young soloists from the Funtime Fiddlers.

With subdued lighting and cleverly arranged, heart shaped tables,

the fiddle club tries to create a friendly, welcoming atmosphere that all can thoroughly enjoy and participate in.

Cash and Cline in tribute double bill at the Tidemark David James and his band Big River is a Johnny Cash tribute act performing all of the hits spanning five decades of Cash’s career.

His tour will appear in Campbell River March 7 at the Tidemark Theatre at 7:30 p.m. along with SaraJeanne Hosie’s tribute to Patsy Cline.

James, who plays Johnny Cash, nails

Cash’s mannerisms and voice down proving this is the most authentic Johnny Cash Tribute in the business. A living prodigy to one of history’s true music legend, this is…

Almost Johnny Cash.

Johnny Cash once said, “You know, performance is communicating. You’ve got to communicate. You’ve got a song you’re singing from your gut; you

want that audience to feel it in their gut.”

James enter tains with that same principle, singing all of the great Cash songs you love including; “I Walk The Line”, “Solitary Man”, “Get Rhythm”, “Folsom Prison”, “Ring of Fire” and newer songs like “Hurt” and Rusty Cage.

T he iconic song “Crazy” is still a country classic and as she

sings it, Sara-Jeanne Hosie has a unique gift to to persuade you that you are watching Patsy Cline re- born in the flesh.

Hosie sings from her heart and her soul, paying tribute to Cline’s classics, from the beautiful, Faded Love, the tragic, I Fall To Pieces and the iconic, Sweet Dreams. Hosie was the star of the play A Closer Walk with Patsy

Cline that played to sold out performances all over the Province.

Hosie received great reviews all over B.C. doing this play last year. Her genuine stage presence and stunning vocal range. You won’t want to miss your chance to see Hosie in this double bill of this Country Legends Show featuring both tributes to Johnny Cash and Patsy Cline.

Heather Gordon Murphy, director/choreographer, is also pleased

with how the show is developing.

“The basic movement is coming together nicely,” said Murphy, “and we are getting ready to start staging the larger numbers.

The artistic technical

team is also starting up.”

The show is a snapshot of the 1960s told through song (mostly in the musical theatre genre), images, dance and costumes.

“People who lived through the ‘60s will recreate their memories. Those who didn’t will see what it was like,” Murphy added.

The show will have period costumes – largely vintage – and they range from housewives to hippies.

Audience members coming to the opening night performance are encouraged to dress in the 1960s style fashions.

The show runs at the Tidemark Theatre. All shows start at 8 p.m., with a matinee perfor mance on March 17 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $25, available at the Tidemark Theatre box office or call 250-287PINK.

Thoughts turn to gardening at the first hints of spring It’s getting to be that time of year again, when the daylight grows longer and hopefully the temperatures rise, so thoughts turn towards spring.

Once more, many people start to long to get their hands dirty and get back to working the garden.

So once again, Campbell River Elder College is offering another series of unique talks a i m e d at e n h a n c ing seniors’ g reen thumbs.

The series begins Tues., Feb. 28, and runs for six weeks, starting at 1 p.m.

Each week features a different gardening topic.

Appropriately, the series kicks off with Preparing the Garden for the New Planting Season under the guidance of Nigel Lambeth, owner of the Campbell River Garden Centre.

Plant Physiology and Pruning is the title of week two’s session March 6, when Chris Trehearne will discuss plant makeup and how plants grow, with special attention to how to help them do that by prudent pruning.

Invasive Plants is the topic March 13 with

Barb Phipps, an experienced gardener who will explain how to deal with those nasty intruders: identification, elimination and proper disposal.

And the ever-popular Growing and Saving Dahlias will be back again March 20 under expert Rick Monchak, who is always in charge of that for the sell-out section of St. Peter’s Anglican Church Garden Sale.

David J Husby February 10, 1946 ~ February 10, 2012 It is with great sadness, we announce the sudden passing of David Husby.

David was a pioneer in all of his endeavors, always seeking new ideas and innovations while moving full speed ahead and building on success. Born in Gibsons BC. David started his business in 1970 as a single trucking contractor. After several years of building his contracting business David formed Husby Forest Products Ltd. David acquired his first forest operation in 1985 and built it into the largest independent forest company on BC’s rugged coast. Along the way, he set the standard for innovative forest practices, commitment, and performance. Today, his formula for a forest company remains the envy of many who hope to emulate its success.

Many other businesses developed along the way, including Peregrine Lodge, a sport fishing lodge, custom value-added lumber manufacturing, steel fabrication shops, and forest consulting services.

His business sent logs and lumber to global markets and Peregrine Lodge attracted global patronage to the wild water of the Queen Charlotte Islands.

David had a passion for life. His many days of fishing at Peregrine Lodge with his wife, Georgia, and friends created many a tall tale, most even true. Another passion was their many horses and Cutting Shows. As with all things he touched, their horses excelled and brought much satisfaction.

Whether you were one of his many friends or employees David had a natural gift of conversation and all eagerly fell victim to his many stories and words of wisdom. Invariably, those captured by his tales either learned valuable insights or were left with renewed confidence in their decisions through David’s mentoring and leadership. David always had the ability to brighten the day for those working for him or fortunate enough to be introduced to him. His loyalty to the people around him was well known and respected.

David will be deeply missed by his loving wife Georgia, mother Edna, children Todd (Vickie), Alana, Nicole (Quinn), Courtney (Mike), and Tyler, his grandchildren Camille and Carson along with his siblings Colleen (Barry), Nick and a large extended family.

A Celebration of Life will be held for friends and family on Saturday February 18, 2012 in Kelowna BC. For further information please contact 604-940-1872.

Peewee Tyees in must-win situation The KLP Construction Peewee A Tyees have advanced to the playoff semi-finals, finishing first in their division.

The Tyees faced the Bull Dogs in Port Alberni last Sunday in their second game of the playoffs. Previous games against Alberni Valley were very highspirited events and this one did not disappoint in the least.

Both teams were anxious to get on the scoreboard first.

Tyee goalie Nic Ordano stymied the opposing snipers using everything and anything to stop the puck. The Tyees kept pressure on Alberni but were thwarted by a goalie that was “in the zone” and owning the crease. The Bull Dogs managed to score the game’s first goal while on the power play with about a minute and a half left in the first period. The Tyees did them one better.

Will McLean and Todd Campbell set up Tyler Dickson for a Tyee power play goal with

only 0.3 seconds on the clock.

Both teams again settled in for the marathon this game became. Each rush up the ice was met with fierce resistance with players on both teams back-checking tenaciously and keeping their shifts short.

Alberni Valley scored again for a 2-1 lead as the teams went to the dressing room for the mid-game ice cleaning.

Once play resumed, Dickson scored his second goal of the game, unassisted, to tie it at two. Unfortunately Tyee defenceman Greg Hay had to leave the game after blocking an Alberni slapshot.

Head Coach Marc Ouellette brought Dawson Frank back onto defence and re-balanced the forward lines. The score remained 2-2 at the end of the second period.

Deuces were certainly wild and the third period reflected it. Campbell got his g r o ove b a c k a n d proved it by putting the biscuit in the bas-

Some fans thought the pucks were made of gold given the way both teams were battling for them along the boards. Damien Re n n i e c o n n e c t e d with Jacob Hartley and Hartley finished the heavy lifting to put the Tyees ahead 4-2 midway through the third.

That’s when things really got interesting as goals came fast and furious. Less than a minute after the Tyees went ahead by two, Alberni Valley came back with one of their own to narrow the margin to 4-3 and within another minute, the Bull Dogs pulled even with the Tyees at 4-4 while shorthanded.

power play, Campbell got the puck to Frank who passed it to Olivia Knowles. Knowles launched a rocket on net that the goalie didn’t even see as it went by him to put the Tyees ahead 5-4. After stretches of more than eighteen minutes without a goal, both teams had combined for four goals in just over two minutes of play.

Once again, Alberni Valley wouldn’t quit

and was rewarded with an even-strength goal to tie the score at 5. Less than a minute later, Rennie got the puck to Lukas Lund in a prime scoring position. Lund wired a wrist shot top shelf and put the Tyees back in front 6-5 with about five minutes left to play in the third period.

The action became even faster and more frantic as Alber ni pulled out all the stops to score the equalizer.

The Tyee defence, led

by Doug Campbell, Frank, Knowles and Rivett kept the shooting lanes open for Ordano and he didn’t make any mistakes on his angles or positioning. Alberni pulled its goalie for the extra attacker but to no avail and the Tyees won 6-5.

With their second victory of the first round of playoffs, the KLP Construction Peewee A Tyees have earned first place in the North Island bracket of the Island Tier 2 playoffs.

That seeding means the Tyees will host Saanich at Rod Brind’Amour Arena this Saturday for a winner-takes-alland-moves-on semifinal game.

Game starts at 2:30 p.m. and will include two full inter missions with ice cleaning instead of one ice cleaning midway through the second period.

hey say an apple a day keeps the doctor away. Now, an orange a day can boast a more tangible connection to health.

Organic orange farmers Lisle and Mary Lou Babcock choked up at a fundraiser launch event at Thrifty Foods on Admirals Road, Wednesday morning.

who will tour 20 grocery outlets over 10 days. “We are so blessed by this event …

This is not something we’ve ever expected to grow into.”

Thirteen Hospital Foundations across Vancouver Island – including Campbell River’s – and the Lower Mainland will benefit from their oranges purchased at Thrifty Foods.

“The awareness (of the partnership) is such a huge benefit,” said Melanie McKenzie, executive director of the Victoria Hospital Foundation. “When (Thrifty Foods) does their pumpkin campaign, they raise $30,000 for us, so our hope with this campaign would be more than that; $60,000 or more

would be great. We still need heart monitors at the bedside, so this is going to do an awful lot for patient care.”

One dollar from the sale of each four-pound bag of Buck Brand Naval Oranges will be donated to the foundation nearest the store of purchase.

The California farming couple’s connection to the grocery chain dates back to the mid 1990s. At that time, Thrifty’s took a risk supporting the Babcocks when nobody else would, said Mary Lou. Unlike mainstream orange growers, the Babcocks product was unsprayed, unwaxed, and picked fully ripe for

full flavour. Thrifty took a a chance, she said, while slicing up various varieties for sampling. “The risk (was) to invest in us, and then it may not work. It might mildew or it might mould.”

Instead, the product was a hit.

“Buck Brand oranges is such a big brand for Thrifty Foods,” said president Jim Dores. “We always want to get out in the community, and do what’s right for the community, and it just seems like such a natural fit.”

The One Buck at a Time campaign runs until March 13. Thrifty Foods has supported hospital foundations since opening in 1977.
