Roberts pleaded not guilty to the charges.

During the trial in B.C. Supreme Court in Campbell River, defence lawyer Doug Marion said that Rober ts was severely

Last Thursday, following a week long trial, a jury of seven women and five men found Roberts not guilty on both counts.

Plant impacting seniors in mobile home park KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Seniors in a oncequiet, rural setting mobile home park are bearing the brunt of a noisy pole peeler operation on Duncan Bay Road say homeowners.

The Crown contended that Roberts broke into her home, went into a bedroom where the woman and her boyfriend were sleeping, and then began kissing

“The noise that the plant produces varies depending on what they are doing and the direction of the wind,�

Paruch says. “But no matter what the volume, the high-pitched whine and constant drone get inside your head and even when the machines stop, the noise is still there inside your head. Right now we are mostly indoors with the windows shut, wondering what life is going to be like in the summer when we want to have our windows open

and to spend time on our decks and in our yards.�

Paruch says there are a lot of seniors in the home park, many of whom are at the age of having to sell their homes and are having difficulty doing so. “We have seen a loss of interest in the homes that are for sale up here, and any offers that are made, are tens of thousands of dollars less than the actual value, due to the proximity of the pole plant,�

Paruch says. “We have all worked hard to pay

for and maintain our homes and don’t feel we should have to take a loss so the city can increase its tax base.�

Tracey Deller, owner of the Blue Spruce Home Park, says the pole peeler has hurt her business. “T he real estate va l u e s h ave b e e n destroyed. The seniors are affected the worst,�

Deller says. “Now no one wants to live here.

Matheson says.

Deller says she hopes it does not come down to suing the city. “I’d rather try to

work with the city and the owners of the pole plant, to avoid a lengthy and costly legal battle...which we will win,� she says.

Meanwhile, the city says the plant is operating legally, on land that is zoned for heavy

industrial.

The site manager of the plant, Bill Boutilier, told the Mirror vinyl siding has been installed on one side of the building that encloses the debarker, as well as plywood on the inside and outside

walls to help reduce the noise.

Boutilier says he hopes to work out a solution with all the neighbours, and is waiting for the sound consultant’s report to come back, which is due by Feb. 24.

A day in the life at MARS

SLOW DOWN! SLOW DOWN! SLOW DOWN!

With surprising agility and gentleness for a big guy, Reg Westcott demonstrates how one person feeds an injured bald eagle. “As a rehabber, you have to be a bit of an octopus,� he says.

First the emaciated raptor is wrapped in a thick bath towel so it doesn’t start flapping its large wings in the rather small recovery room.

Next he steadies the eagle between his legs.

Then with one bare hand, he holds open its sharp beak and inserts the feeding tube far down its throat with the other.

He’s almost ready now as he tilts the e a g l e ’ s h e a d u p, clutches the large feeding syringe with his free hand and then uses his chin to compress the plunger, sending a yellow stream of liquified chicken lunch into the eagle’s belly. “It takes a bit of practice,� he tells a female volunteer who, for her first time, was trying to assist Westcott with one of the five-times-aday feedings.

The volunteer at the Mountainaire Avian Rescue Society (MARS) is perturbed for failing at what seems to be such a simple task.

But there is nothing simple about saving injured birds and other wildlife.

From the secret food formulas fed to the injured and growing

birds, to the hundreds of other little tricks it takes to get them to eat, heal and recover, saving wildlife takes years of knowledge and patience.

It’s something Westcott learned himself when he was recovering from a serious work accident seven years ago. “I was in a terrible marine accident and during my recovery I started volunteering here. Now I’d like to think I’m indispensable,� he says with a laugh.

Westcott graduated from a volunteer to a full-time animal technician and educational outreach worker.

One of his favourite tricks is to use eagle puppets and toys to get injured, and stubborn, raptors to feed. “Eagles are greedy eaters, so sometimes I tease them with the puppet. That gets them eating,� he says.

But Westcott is just one man in a staff of few. It takes thousands of volunteer hours and thousand of dollars in donations to keep the recovery centre in Merville running.

PAUL RUDAN/THE MIRROR

An injured bald eagle waits to be fed.

“With eagles, you often need two handlers,� notes Pearl McKenzie, the society’s vice-president. “With baby birds, they can require 42 feedings a day. It’s really intense.�

During baby bird season, volunteers walk around with egg timers to remind themselves when the next feeding is due. They’ve even saved baby hummingbirds that come in the “size of a small peanut.�

But it’s hard to save a baby bird. Half don’t

survive. Larger birds and raptors stand a better chance of recovering and survival, but there’s no guarantee.

In her Feb. 15 column for the Mirror, Sandy Fairfield wrote about two barn owls found in a chimney and taken to MARS to recover. The male survived, but the female died last week. “A lot don’t make it.

They’re usually really stressed out by the time we find them,� says McKenzie.

fortunately most fish MARS receives is donated, along with approximately $50,000 annually from supporters in Campbell River and the Comox Valley.

The large birds also require more time to recover and must be taken to other recovery centres in Errington or on the Lower Mainland in order to get in flying time before they’re released back into the wild.

A full-sized flight pen is something that MARS lacks. A recovering raptor requires an enclosure roughly 120 feet long, by 40 feet wide, by 30 feet high.

To build one would exceed an entire year’s budget at MARS, but it’s needed, explains Westcott. Each time a bird is transferred to

another centre, that puts more stress on the animal. As well, MARS is seeing increasing numbers of injured bald eagles.

The average was about 30 eagles a year.

Last year, 51 eagles were treated at MARS and so far this year, the tally is 11. “I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw 60 this year,â€? says Westcott. “It’s hard to say why there’s more‌ the Comox Valley is a bread basket for eagles.

They arrive from all over. Who knows, maybe the food supply in other spots isn’t so good? And that can lead to other potential problems such as more competition amongst the birds.�

One bald eagle currently recovering at

MARS is known as “Semi� because she was feeding on road kill when she flew up and straight through the window of a semitruck. “Semi suffered a fractured pelvis, but she’s flying really well,� says Westcott.

In addition to small birds and raptors, MARS has rehabilitated other indigenous wildlife. McKenzie says MARS is successful due to the generosity of individual and corporate supporters, like BC Hydro, and the many volunteers. “There’s a lot of people who quietly keep the centre going and doing a lot of the dirty jobs like cleaning up poop, cages and washing tools,� she says. www.wingtips.org

The Tidemark Theatre was styling in silver for the kickoff of the 25th anniversary fundraising campaign Twenty-five years ago, fundraising began to transform the old Van Isle Movie Theatre into the Tidemark Theatre, Campbell River’s pink downtown landmark. Now celebrating its silver anniversary, fundraising has begun again to keep the city’s theatre going strong for another 25 years.

Last Thursday night, the Tidemark lobby was decorated in silver balloons for the start of the “Tidemark 25 Capital Campaign Kickoff.” Theatre supporters sipped wine and dined on scrumptious appetizers provided by Cheddar and Co., as they supported the Silver Brick campaign, bought prize-winning balloons and helped start raising the $850,000 needed for a new lighting system, seats, a projection system, carpeting, online ticket system, signs and more.

Charges dropped against accused armed robber PAUL RUDAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The Crown has dropped all eight charges against a man accused of committing three armed robberies two years ago.

Andrew Mayers, 46, walked out of the Campbell River courthouse a free man after charges against him were stayed in B.C. Supreme Court last Thursday.

“In this case, the qual-

ity of evidence was such that continuing the prosecution was not feasible,” Crown prosecutor John Boccabella told the Mirror.

Mayers was accused of committing two ar med robberies in Courtenay and one in Oyster River at Discovery Foods.

One of the Discovery Foods owners said he was disappointed the Crown had dropped the charges, but declined to

comment further.

According to RCMP reports, on Dec. 4, 2009, around 5 p.m., a man brandishing a silver handgun entered Peoples Drug Mart in Courtenay. The robber demanded cash and prescription drugs, and then fled. Two more similar robberies occurred on Feb. 10, 2010.

The first took place around 6 p.m. at First Insurance in Courtenay.

He demanded money

from the employee then fled with a minimal amount of cash.

Later, at 9:20 p.m., approximately 20 kilometres north at Oyster River, a masked man armed with a handgun approached a Discovery Foods employee in the parking lot after the grocery store had been locked up for the night.

The robber forced the employee to re-open a door and then ordered the worker to open the

Father bites baby’s cheek PAUL RUDAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A 26-year-old man has been jailed for biting the cheek of his infant son.

Colby Doherty received a 60-day sentence after pleading guilty to assault on Monday in Campbell River provincial court.

A second assault charge was dropped by the Crown in exchange for the guilty plea.

“Your son is likely going to be quite frightened of you when you see him again,” said B.C. Associate Chief Judge Michael Brecknell. However, that won’t happen for some time as Doherty is bound by a two-year probation order that prevents him from seeing his son. He can though make an application

to re-establish contact with the boy. According to Crown prosecutor David Fitzsimmons, on Feb. 7, around 2:30 p.m., Campbell River RCMP received a 911 call from the boy’s mother.

When police arrived at the residence, they were able to see the impression of a bite mark on the cheek of the sevenmonth-old boy. Fitzsimmons noted that the baby’s skin was not broken by the bite. Doherty co-operated with police and was taken into custody. He has been in a Victoria jail cell since.

According to the defence, Doherty was under heavy stress because he had just lost his job and was unable to pay the rent.

Money was so tight that Doherty had to pawn some belongings in order to pay for food

and diapers. In addition, two days earlier, Doherty had started taking a drug to combat bi-polar disorder and depression. On the day in question, Doherty a n d h i s g i rl f r i e n d argued about their lack of money when the baby started “screaming and crying.” That’s when Doherty yelled, “Stop being a pussy,” and bit the baby’s cheek.

The woman didn’t see Doherty bite the boy, but did see the red mark and called police. Through his lawyer, Doherty accepted responsibility and acknowledged that his girlfriend and son are “paying the penalty” for his crime. He indicated he is willing to take counselling and has already started seeing a psychologist.

Judg e Brecknell accepted the joint sub-

mission from the Crown and defence counsels in handing Doherty a 60-day jail sentence.

Doherty did receive a two-week credit for time already served.

Following his release, Doherty is bound by a two-year probation order during which time he cannot consume any alcohol. He can meet with the child’s mother in a public place, but cannot visit his son unless he receives permission from the court.

Doherty intends to reside with his father on Quadra Island following his release and wants to go back to college to complete a forestry course. He was also ordered to take counselling for anger management, substance abuse and parenting. This was his third conviction for assault.

Looking for a chance to vent?

Have you been dying to tell someone who cares what you really think about probable changes to your Old Age Security? Wild salmon and aquaculture along our coast?

Ocean stewardship and shark finning?

Oil tankers and pipelines? New halibut quotas? Politicians in general?

Here’s your chance.

Fin Donnelly, Member of Parliament for New Westminster, Coquitlam and Port Moody since 2009 and

currently federal NDP Critic for Fisheries and Oceans, is coming to the Island this Saturday, to discuss these and other matters of interest to voters in the area. Donnelly will fly into Port Hardy and begin a series of meetings all day Saturday, finishing up with a potluck supper in Courtenay.

Donnelly introduced legislation to ban tanker traffic along B.C.’s sensitive northern coast and to transition all fish farms to

closed containment.

Prior to being elected, Donnelly

played a key role in calling for and securing the Cohen Inquiry into the collapse of the Fraser Sockeye fishery.

He served on Coquitlam City Council for seven years, was the executive director of Rivershed Society of B.C. for 13 years and twice swam the Fraser River (1,400 km) to promote sustainable living.

Of particular interest to those whose livelihood depends on healthy oceans, these

Don Staniford, one of the most controversial critics of the salmon farming industry, will be at Quadra’s Community Centre on Saturday, Feb. 25 at 7:30 p.m. to present his views on an industry that he deems to be environmentally dangerous and ecologically unsustainable.

Fresh from combatting a lawsuit filed against him by Mainstream Canada for comments the corporation considered defamatory, Staniford will be describing this

legal battle, justifying his views and enlarging on his criticism of the industry.

Staniford, a close associate of Alexandra Morton, is no stranger to environmental activism. He has been a vociferous critic of the salmon farming industry while in B.C., and before that, an antisalmon farming activist in Europe. Shortly after his presentation on Quadra, he will be leaving for Norway to carry on his battle at the headquarters of the international

industry.

The evening promises to be informative, stimulating and provocative. Staniford is considered to be an environmental hero by some, known and supported worldwide for his indomitable spirit, fearless energy, insightful perspectives and unflinching commentary.

Doors open at 7 p.m. for this 7:30 p.m. Feb. 25 event sponsored by Sierra Quadra. Admission by donation and refreshments will be available.

A tip from a local pawn shop led to the arrest of a 26-yearold break and enter suspect.

The B&E took place at a residence on Stratford Drive and was discovered Saturday morning.

According to RCMP, the thief got away with several items including electronics and photography equipment.

As part of their investigation, police went looking for the missing

City faces $3.6 million deficit KRISTEN DOUGLAS

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

99

The city is forecasting a $3.6 million budget shortfall for 2012, according to preliminary fig-

ures.

That’s up substantially from the last estimated budget deficit of $550,000 back in December.

The picture looks bleaker now because of a change in the prop-

erty assessment value of the defunct Catalyst mill site. The BC Assessment Authority announced early last month that Catalyst no longer meets the requirements of a major industrial property, and

has been reclassified as business/ other, which means a significant reduction in Catalyst’s property taxes.

That decision results in a loss of $1.8 million in tax revenue for

2012. Included in the deficit is a $1.1 million tax shortfall carried over from 2011, plus a $1.3 million increase in costs related to contract commitments and inflationary increases, said Laura Ciarniello, the city’s general manager of corporate services.

If the city were to maintain the current level of services it provides to citizens, the tax rate would have to increase by 24 per cent in order to make up the $3.6 million.

The loss of $1.8 million from Catalyst alone, equates to a 12 per cent residential tax increase.

To put that into perspective, Ciarniello said a one per cent residential tax increase would bring in $150,000 in revenue for the city.

That one per cent increase would mean roughly $12 more per year in property taxes for the average homeowner.

The city’s operating budget is approximately $37 million which Continued on A3

Healing event an opportunity to begin reconcilliation The provincially funded Community Action Initiative Imagine Campbell River will be hosting an event with KDC Health, on Feb. 27 12-4:30 p.m. at the Laichkwiltach Big House, 1400 Weiwaikum St., Campbell

River.

Everyone is invited.

As part of the Imagine Campbell River project, a First Nation Working Group has been discussing cultural awareness and understanding about “resiliency” in our community and

learned that “Aboriginal Resiliency” is very different and unique.

The circle consisted of local Elders, leaders, community members and agencies and they have planned an event that will offer the community, especially all the youth of

Campbell River, an opportunity to witness a First Nation ceremony in the Kwatsi (Big House). The afternoon will also include an empathetic journey of Building Bridges Through Understanding the Village with Kathi Camilleri to

help participants understand how traditional teachings offer support for having a “resilient” community. Cultural leader James Quatell says, “Our seeds of resilience are underneath at the roots” and Elder Alberta Billy says “We

are still here!” from all the impacts of the Residential School.

This is a healing process in which all Canadians play a part to support and celebrate those who have come home from Residential School, and remember those

who did not survive.

It is an opportunity to begin reconciliation and support Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s stop in Campbell River in early March.

Airport could drive local economy KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The Campbell River Airport could be the best option to replace taxes lost from the Catalyst mill, according to the Airport Authority.

The airport is currently treated as a city utility and is funded by taxpayer subsidy.

The Airport Authority believes the airport could instead drive the economy.

“The Airport Authority recommends this investment in the airport to permit the airport to...become the most sustainable option available to the City of Campbell River to replace the industrial base lost when the Catalyst mill property was re-assessed,” reads a report from the authority.

The Airport Authority has already passed a resolution to alter the Airport Fee bylaw to provide new fee revenue – expected to be $40,000 assuming July 1 implementation.

“The time is now, not a year or two from now, to capture the opportunities that have been planned, discussed,

reported but not implemented,” said the report.

The airport has run a budget deficit for several years and general taxation revenue has subsidized the facility.

Last year, the airport ran a $245,000 budget deficit and this year’s shortfall is estimated at $194,000.

Susan Sinnott, chair of the airport authority, said there is great opportunity to bring in revenue by utilizing undeveloped land surrounding the airport.

“We see the main priority related to the airport to increase the taxation base by having development on the airport and the adjacent industrial land,” Sinnott said.

“We have already had discussions with Couverdon (Timber West) and a rough outline of a proposed aviation park on the south side of the Airport Road.

There is approximately 300 acres of industrialzoned land around the airport mostly owned

by Couverdon and the airport itself has land available for lease.”

The Airport Authority is looking for

$104,061 from the city for marketing and economic development to help attract tenants.

“It is the intention of the Airport Authority to begin a marketing process of informing all existing tenants of all B.C. and Alberta airports that we have land and proximity to major consumer markets,” said the authority’s report. “By having Highway 19 so close to our airport we can encourage businesses that need access to convenient transportation to relocate. Campbell River has space, people, and affordable housing and should be able to motivate large employers here. Our goal is to work towards 100 per cent tenancy of all the lots available at our airport and thus reduce our need for the public dollars of support.”

The Airport Authority is looking to alter its purchasing methods so it can reduce its fuel prices which are some of the most expensive in south western Canada. Sinnott said that is because the authority does not have a purchasing methodology

that ensures competitors’ wholesale prices are checked and made available to the airport’s supplier as a comparable for proper pricing. Sinnott said with proper purchasing methods it’s estimated the airport could increase fuel sales by 40 per cent. The Airport Authority is also looking at putting in a pilots lounge for crews to relax and meet with airport staff.

Sinnott said the amount of transborder traffic coming through the airport is “striking” and in the summer, the volumes are greater than anywhere in the south.

“We want to make sure they feel welcome,” Sinnott said.

“Right now the service at our airport is not that great. We do not want to lose our position as a destination for these corporate jets.”

The Airport Authority is also seeking city approval to hire an airport manager, at a cost of $111,020, to improve airport governance.

“The authority currently has the responsibility to operate the

airport, but no real ability to carry out these functions,” Sinnott said. “This request for an airport manager is a vital request.”

The Airport Authority’s requests will be considered by council during budg et meetings which continue until the end of March.

EDITOR: Alistair Taylor editor@campbellrivermirror.com

Our View

Social media brings sea change in federal politics We’ve heard it many times, and seen it a few times during election campaigns. Social media has changed the way politics is done.

Last week’s “vikileaks,” a series of tweets about Public Safety Minister Vic Toews’ divorce, has focused attention on We say: And it how easily information can be shared over the Internet. It also has proven to highlights the fact that politics, and be a potent tool federal politics in particular, is a game played with no rules and no indeed protection. Players can be blindsided at any time and every hit counts. The only goal for most players is to completely destroy their opponents.

Toews became the target of an individual or group who created a Twitter account, and then proceeded to broadcast details of his divorce case, which occurred several years ago. It is likely that the tweets were done from a House of Commons computer, according to some preliminary investigations.

He was targeted because he defended a House of Commons bill dealing with online surveillance. The bill would allow police access to information such as an IP (Internet Protocol) address without a warrant.

It would not give police access to web surfing information or e-mail without a warrant, but many individuals and groups feel that it opens the door too broadly.

Toews unwisely stated that those who opposed

the bill were “with the child pornographers,” an unfortunate comparison. One can be concerned about privacy and also be horrified at child porn — at the same time. So he was paid back, via social media. In election campaigns, candidates have been forced to resign because of material they posted on the Internet, usually on Facebook or YouTube.

This is becoming almost standard in any given election, and has led to most parties doing far more screening before even allowing a candidate to seek a nomination. However, social media hasn’t been used a great deal in trying to change the course of debate on public issues. This incident has proven just how potent it can be.

Need money? Why not unload the 3.5 acre site?

On reading the list of items that can be chopped or reduced to save us homeowners from huge tax increases, nowhere do I see a mention of either: Selling the 3.5 acre parcel downtown to not only have immediate oroceeds from the sale, but also after development to be able to have annual tax dollars coming in to the city coffers. There was a beautiful artist’s rendering of a proposal a couple of years ago that included townhouses as well as shops/cafes, yet city council turned it down. It’s a mess right now, certainly any development would be better than it is now.

The second is the sale of city owned land for the same reasons - additional tax dollars coming in. Why hang on to bits and pieces of land here and there?

The third concern is the antics at Rivercorp. How can the CEO convince businesses to move to Campbell River if he can’t figure out what his budget is? Certainly as part of a business case for relocation one has to understand basic budget techniques. When was the last time Rivercorp created any jobs in our community, except in thier own shop.

Anyone got an answer?

Community’s budget priorities come into focus

Alistair Taylor Out On A Limb

So, the debate is underway and the battle lines are being drawn.

It became apparent fairly quickly that chopping a year’s operation of the Campbell River Sportsplex was going too far to save money in the city’s 2012 budget. So, that establishes one benchmark. It may get shut down for a few months yet but the idea of closing it for a year to save money on the budget was essentially a nonstarter. Good thing too because it would have made us look really bad.

Would we really have been so tightfisted as to not run such an important recreational facility for a year?

Yes, we still would have the Strathcona Gardens arena and pool but remember, those are run by the

Strathcona Regional District.

And, of course, there is still a gymnasium in the Community Centre but having shut down the Sportsplex, what would stop people suggesting we don’t operate the Community Centre?

Are we in such dire straits that we couldn’t pony up another hundred bucks or so a year to keep some of our services? Because that’s the issue. Some people say we are.

I did get one e-mail suggesting it is hard to decide who is more clueless, city council, or we the media. Boy you sure you know how to hurt a guy.

The point being taken was that we have to face the cold, hard facts that we’re in dire straits and we have to be

willing to make the tough decisions like closing the Sportsplex.

But do we? Of course, recreation is always the first thing to get chopped.

It’s not that important, is it? Parks too. The other quick suggestion was that we cut the grass less frequently.

But recreation and parks are not the cream of the crop in a city. They’re the lifeblood. The things to do are what make this community liveable.

Plus, there’s the argument that recreation is an investment in health, i.e., as in the prevention of heart disease, cancer and all manner of selfinflicted decrepitude that will cost millions to treat later on.

Meanwhile, we are blessed with thousands of square miles of natural

spaces, so we could get by without a freshly-mown Willow Point Park.

I’ve probably spent more time at the Campbell River estuary than I have at the Sportsplex in recent years.

We don’t have the money, goes the argument. But do we not? What are we spending our money on and why don’t we cut something else?

Do we really need to pay city councillors? Hey, I’m the first to say they’re dedication to their community is unmatched by any other public service.

But perhaps it should be voluntary.

I know they don’t do it for the money anyway.

And then there’s all that money spent on Rivercorp...for what?

OPINION

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 2012 | CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR |

Last stand in the B.C. beetle battle As MLAs resumed their raucous legislature arguments over a municipal auditor-general, the B.C. government’s own watchdog cut through the noise with a devastating audit of the state of Crown forests.

Au d i t o r G e n e r a l John Doyle’s survey of the province’s vast forest comes at a critical time. A team of forest ministry experts is examining the situation at Burns Lake, to see if the Babine Lake Forest Products sawmill can be rebuilt, after a tragic explosion and fire on Jan. 20.

Babine was one of a string of high-volume mills along Highway 16 in northwestern B.C. that have been working their way through the enormous stock of decaying pine that surrounds them. The “shelf life” of these trees is estimated to extend to 2019, but that’s a best-case scenario. In reality the

expanse affected by replanting,” the audipest and disease is tor writes. “The ministry has not indicated much more complex.

The B.C. government how this low level of touts its “Forests for silviculture investTomorrow” program ment reconciles with that started in 2005 its legislated mandate with a boost of federal to achieve long-term funds to restock B.C.’s timber benefits and to maintain burned and or enhance beetle-killed future timber forests.

the Kootenays and now the north and west. He says the Burns Lake situation brings into focus the biggest problem identified by the auditor: the poor state of B.C.’s forest inventory. As much as three quarters of it is out of date, some by decades.

Much of it is based on aerial photographs rather than on-theground assessment by foresters. Species have shifted. And at a time when climate factors have caused the most rapid changes in the 100-year history of the B.C. Forest Service, budget cuts and reorganization into a natural resources ministry have taken their toll.

Even with the most recent appraisals completed last summer for four forest districts, including the Burns Lake district, the ministry still can’t say if there are enough logs available to rebuild Babine.

Simpson says the

industry knows the answer. Two of the world’s highest-capacity sawmills are at Houston and Vanderhoof, on either side of Burns Lake, and their huge salvage log supply is degrading and running out. A political intervention to “save” the Burns Lake mill would only take shifts away from others. An alternative would be to make Burns Lake a proving ground for bioenergy, to deal with the huge mass of trees that will never make lumber.

Finally, a bright note for Burns Lake. The people and the economy are adapting. A job fair in the village offered entry-level as well as skilled positions at the Houston and Vanderhoof mills.

There are more positions on offer at the Mount Milligan and Huckleberry mines and Enbridge, which has gas, solar and wind projects on the go.

Seniors call for end to MSP premiums KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

British Columbia is the only province that requires seniors to pay provincial medical insurance and a group of seniors are calling on the government to eliminate those premiums.

“It’s important for people to know this so we’re speaking up now for everybody who is over 65,” said Beba Adams, chair of the Campbell River branch of the B.C. Government Retired E m p l o ye e s A s s o ciation, which has spearheaded the fight against medical premiums for seniors.

“They’re not aware B.C. is charging us

when no other province does.”

Medical Services Plan premiums have been on the rise for years, making it difficult for seniors to get by.

“The MSP premiums have doubled in the last 10 years,” said Sarjit Manhas, president of the B.C. Government Retired Employees Association. “Many seniors in British Columbia are struggling to pay their bills for their daily needs.”

Adams, who gets a public service pension, said in the 1990s the employees association had a contract that bound the provincial government to paying the MSP

premiums, but Adams said last year that all changed.

“Right now I pay $22 a month – a portion of the cost,” Adams said.

“In April, I’ll have to foot the whole bill.”

In B.C., health care premiums are free for anyone with an annual net income under $22,000.

People who make more than $30,000 a year have to pay the full cost of $60.50 each month per person, or $109 each month for a couple.

“We would like to see the province of B.C. cover all seniors for their medical,” Adams said.

The B.C. Government Employees Association sent a proposal to the government last October asking for the government to get rid of premiums for seniors, but the group has yet to hear back.

Seniors have also received support from several municipalities.

The Union of BC Municipalities, at its general meeting last September, endorsed the City of North Vancouver’s resolution calling on the province to eliminate medical insurance premiums for seniors in B.C. The resolution was also supported by the Lower Mainland Local Gover nment Association and similar resolutions are supported by the City of Vancouver, the Association of Kootenay and Boundary Local Governments and the North Central Local Government Association.

Members wanted The B.C. Government Retired Employ-

ees Association is looking for retired B . C . g ove r n m e n t employees and their partners to join the association.

The aim of the association is to obtain benefits for its members and to prevent erosion of these benefits.

T h e a s s o c i at i o n has obtained many benefits for seniors including extended health coverage, cost of living increases, subsidized bus passes, discount hotel rates, g ro u p i n s u r a n c e, travel out of province insurance, house insurance, and life insurance.

Membership dues are $20 per month.

Explore the Discovery Islands E

xplore a little known part of the BC coast with historian Jeanette Taylor, who will lead a three-day tour of the Discovery Islands aboard the historic Columbia III May 23 to 26.

The trip, offered by the Museum at Campbell River, winds through the myriad island channels of this exceptionally beautiful stretch of coast.

“It’s an active trip,” says Taylor, “with shore excursions by zodiak two or three times a day to see abandoned homesteads and ancient First Nations village sites.”

Taylor gives the background stories on the history of these places while the Mothership Adventures crew provides the stories of the birds, plants and animals.

“This stretch of coast used to be dotted throughout with Native villages and later by homesteads and little communities based on logging and

There’s something to see at every turn in the Discovery Islands. Refuge Cove has weathered isolation and economic change.

fishing,” says Taylor.

“There was all kinds of action here a century ago, with schools, stores and even a few hotels, but it’s now largely abandoned.”

And that, according to Taylor, makes for fun exploration.

Taylor’s recent book, Tidal Passages, documents the people and settlements of the Discovery Islands, from Native history and the age of European exploration to contem-

porary times.

“It’s so fitting,” says Taylor, “to visit the islands aboard the Columbia III, a place she served as a religious and medical mission over 50 years ago.”

While there are now only scattered remnants, like a forgotten gravestone or the pilings of a once busy cannery, Taylor brings your experiences of these places to life with tales of the many

colourful people who once lived there.

“You couldn’t invent stories and characters as fascinating as these islanders, “ says Taylor. “Men like ByGod Stafford of Read Island, with his tales of milking a whale to feed his pigs or Desolation Sound’s loggerturned-philosopher Andrew Shuttler.”

When Shuttler awoke from a barroom brawl, says Taylor, he was covered in

blood from a jagged cut up his nose so he fled society to live in remote Melanie Cove, where he ruminated on the meaning of life.

While it’s fun to learn about the people, flora and fauna, what really stands out for participants of past tours is the beauty of this stretch of coast.

There’s something to see at every turn, from waterfalls, sea life in the fast running channels and clustered islands—all of it with a constant backdrop of the Mainland mountains.

Tour participants will get a taste of the present too, with stops at little communities that have weathered isolation and economic change at places like Refuge Cove, at the mouth of Desolation Sound.

The tour is restricted to ten guests. For further information check the Mothership Adventures website www. mothershipadventures.com or call 1-888833-8887.

Rotary delivers support to Jeneece Place Campbell River Daybreak Rotarians Sandra Poirier and Mike Rushton travelled to Victoria to attend the opening of Jeneece Place where they presented a donation of $5,000 in support of this worthy cause.

Jeneece Place provides safe and comfortable lodging for families with children who are being treated at health care facilities in the Victoria area. It is estimated that 600 families per year will travel to Victoria for medical care.

Inspired by the vision and determination of

a young girl named Jeneece Edroff who is known locally as The Penny Girl, the families now have access to shelter and support when they need it the most.

At an early age Jeneece was diagnosed with neurofibromatosis, a genetic disorder that causes painful tumours on nerve pathways. Her treatment required that she and her family travel to Vancouver for her treatment where they stayed at Ronald McDonald House.

From this experience, Jeneece realized the

need for a Victoriabased accommodation to support families dealing with the logistics of medical treatments. Jeneece initiated a penny drive in Victoria which raised $164 which she donated to Variety – The Children’s Charity. Over the next eight years Jeneece’s penny drive raised $1.5 million for Variety. Thanks to Jeneece and her vision, as well as some 2,200 gifts and donations; her dream of building a safe and comfortable place to stay for families facing health challenges is now a reality.

Goodman sent a letter to council last Wednesday, the day after the budget presentation, saying Rivercorp is requesting a total budget of $784,625 for 2012.

Is that what you’re asking from the city? Last year the city’s contribution was $492,000 and you’re asking for an additional $292,000?”

Goodman said that was correct but Mayor Wa l t e r J a k e w ay wanted a more concrete figure.

“Could you tell me what the number is you’re actually looking for for 2012?” Jakeway asked.

Goodman said Rivercorp was looking for $292,000 more than what was budgeted for 2011.

Bradley Challenge raises the bar The Vancouver Island Society for Adaptive Snowsports (VISAS) held its major fundraiser, the Herb Bradley Pepsi Challenge on Feb. 12.

For 24 years the Herb Bradley event has brought together the Vancouver Island community, VISAS volunteers and students at Mount Washington to raise funds for adaptive snowsports.

Twenty four teams from up and down the Island, along with VISAS snowboarding / ski students tackled the slalom course set on the beginners hill next to Mount Washington’s new magic carpet ride. This year’s winner was Jackie Krabseth of Campbell River and her team the Flying Grannies.

Second place went to the Courtenay Mazda team and third place to RBC, Phillips, Hager & North of Victoria.

This is the first year that PepsiCo has participated as the major sponsor for the event and VISAS welcomes its involvement and support.

“Herb Bradley was a great person with a vision and drive that we should aspire to mirror in our lives,” said Peter Kupiak of

Gordie Tupper announcing the Herb Bradley Pepsi Challenge winners with Ken Kemper during last Sunday’s adaptive snowsports fundraiser.

PepsiCo. “Without the dedication that he had for this program and all the tireless efforts of the volunteers it would not be as successful as it is today.”

Over the years the fundraiser has garnered a loyal following who have volunteered their time to make this day a great event.

“We grossed $12,255 from the teams, donations and the raffle,” said Ken Kemper, HBPC organizer. “We had close to 150 people come out a support us.”

Peter Gibson, Mount Washington general manager, said the event was a tremendous success.

“Even though Herb Bradley left us a few years ago, his spirit certainly continues on through the programs

run by the VISAS.” A long time resident of the Comox Valley, outdoor enthusiast, swim coach and ski instructor, Herb Bradley, who passed away in 2002 at the age of 81, was the leading force behind starting the downhill ski program for people with physical and mental disabilities.

“Each year on the day of the event I phone Herb’s niece in Vancouver,” added Gibson.

“She informed me this year that the name change to Pepsi would have made Herb happy, as he was a Pepsi person.”

Funds raised from the sale of raffle tickets for snowsports equipment was made possible by Ski Tac Hut, for its generous discount

on skis and a unique snowboard, and to Ski, Surf and Kayak for its deal on snowshoes.

The skis were won by Barrett Karam of Victoria, the board was won by Carl Gardener of Victoria and the snowshoes by Richard Meiner of Duncan.

A detailed list of contributors and supporters is on the VISAS’s website.

A few tickets are still available for the Westjet raffle to be drawn on March 17.

Cushioning ¿nancial UPsets Things are looking up, these days. Gas prices – up. Electrical costs – up.

Heating bills – up. UPsets like this can cripple your cash Àow and ¿guring out how to cope with them can really get a person down.

So, here are some practical ways to ¿nd the extra money you need to cushion those unavoidable ¿nancial UPsets you face every day.

What NOT to do. If you ¿nd yourself a bit short at bill-paying time, DO NOT fund the shortfall by making a withdrawal from your RRSP or get a cash advance on a credit card.

Here’s why: • You’ll pay income tax on your RRSP withdrawals – meaning that if you take out $5,000 and are in the 40% tax bracket, you’ll add $2,000 to your tax bill. You’ll also diminish the potential tax-deferred growth that the $5,000 would have contributed to your retirement lifestyle. If your retirement is 30 years away, that $5,000 withdrawal will cost you $45,313 in taxdeferred growth (assuming 8% compound annual growth).1 • Use your credit card to get that $5,000 and you’ll probably pay interest at 18% or more. That adds up to $978 in yearly interest and if you don’t pay the balance all year and you’re in the 40% tax bracket, you’ll need to earn $1,630 just to pay the interest.

What to do instead.

• Consider consolidating your debt through a lowerrate loan from a ¿nancial institution. Use the loan money to pay your debts – targeting credit cards and other high-cost nondeductible debt ¿rst.

• Obtain a line of credit based on the equity in your home or other assets, usually available at a very favourable interest rate.

• Arrange a revolving line of credit to cover overdrafts on your bill-paying chequing account.

You’re coping ¿nancially right now but … What happens if you’re hit by a serious illness or a huge house or vehicle repair bill?

Once again, DO NOT tap into your RRSP, and avoid dipping into your savings or borrowing by: • Setting up an emergency cash reserve, typically equal to three months’ income, or if your job is iffy or seasonal, make that ¿ve or six months’ net income.

• Turning your emergency

fund into an investment in a Money Market mutual fund, Guaranteed Investment Certi¿cate (GIC), that are Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) eligible or government savings bond that will protect your capital, deliver a decent interest rate and let you withdraw your money quickly with little or no cost as needed.

Price and rate UPsets are a fact of life but you can cushion the effects when you’re ¿nancially prepared.

Keep your spirits up and your costs down by talking to your ¿nancial advisor.

In just over a month, it will be On your marks, get set, go for the KidStart Run, a 600 km effort to raise funds for the KidStart Volunteer Mentoring Program.

Campbell River’s Terry Kratzmann has set a goal to run from Cape Scott to Victoria during the month of April. He will be joined

by Shane Douglas from the Comox Valley for the first 375 km of the run (Cape Scott to Courtenay), as well as Jim Finlayson from Victoria and other runners for sections of the route. Both Kratzmann and Douglase know the value of mentoring first hand. Terry volunteered as a KidStart mentor for more than three years. Over that time, the teenage boy he mentored made huge positive changes that his mother

described as “beyond my dreams.”

Shane has been a mentor with KidStart for close to two years.

“As an adult I still have

several important role models in my life that I look up to and learn from, and I use those lessons as best I can to help my mentee.”

Shane was inspired to join Terry because the run provides an opportunity to raise awareness of the positive benefits of KidStart.

“I believe this run will help many of the kids who are struggling in our communities realize how great they can be,” he said.

KidStart is offered by The John Howard Society of North Island in Campbell River and the Comox Valley. The volunteer-based program focuses on the positive development of vulnerable children and youth ages 6-18 who could benefit from having stable, committed, and caring adults in their lives.

You can help Kratzmann and the other runners in their monumental effort for KidStart. Make a donation or register for the 5 km run into Campbell River on April 14, Courtenay on April 15, or Victoria on April 28.

Bantam A’s advance to Island finals The No. 1 Auto Body Bantam ‘A’ Tyees will play for the Vancouver Island Tier 2 title after knocking off the defending Island and Provincial Champions in Victoria over the weekend.

The Tyees defeated the Juan de Fuca Grizzlies 6-4 Sunday afternoon in a sudden death semi-final game played at Bear Mountain Arena. It was the second game in a row the Black and Orange staved off playoff elimination.

Campbell River got off to an impressive start, building a 4-1 lead by the end of the first period. But the Grizzlies fought back, outscoring the locals 2-1 in the middle frame and swinging the momentum in their favour. That made for some tense moments during a tightly played third period.

“We needed a game like that,” said Tyees head coach Peter Martin, “It was a real test for our players – we had to play disciplined, focused hockey the entire sixty minutes.

This was a ‘win-or-gohome’ game and the guys made sure they were well prepared.

We got off to a fast start but they (Juan de Fuca) weren’t just going give up. It was a good, solid effort by both teams.”

Alexandra Apedaile, 9, races the 100 breaststroke at the Strathcona Gardens pool on Saturday.

Veteran and rookie Killer Whales defend title The Campbell River Killer Whales played host to five Island swim teams this past weekend for the annual CRKW Eliminator Invitational.

When the waves had subsided, the Killer Whales had once again defended their title with a convincing victory over the visiting teams.

“We were able to show off our depth in most age groups and our new swimmers are showing more confidence in this compe-

tition” said Head Coach Chris Koopmans One of those new swimmers Diego Alvarez de Lorenzana, 10, was able to win three out of four races in his first competition.

Diego looked very strong in all four strokes pushing his competitors right to the finish line.

Kaianne Best, 7, raced her first 100 meter breaststroke and placed third overall.

Kara Beauregaurd, also 7, won her 25-meter backstroke and placed fourth in

her other events.

Taya Jordan and Kaya Lathangue, both 6, were able to place in the top right in all of their races.

“Yes our younger swimmers really help us with the victory but some of our experienced swimmers really had a break out meet. Lilan Forsyth age 10, not only did 100 per cent best times but also had four swims that are now AA times,” Koopmans said.

“Kasey Lathangue also showed immense improve-

7x3.5 7x3.5 SD72 SD72 PROCESS PROCESS

ment in her breaststroke which she came second in and free style.”

The Killer Whales also had some club records set in the pool.

The 10 & Under girls 4x 50 free relay of Cianna Dunn, Melayna Beaudin, Aleah Jordan, and Kasey Lathangue set a new record with a time of 2:23.81.

Cianna Dunn also set a new club record in the 400 Free with a 5:42.92.

Melayna Beaudin set a new club record in the 50 meter

backstroke that had stood for 10 years.

In the 11 and 12 boy division Conner Skuse not only won eight races but set a new club record in 100 meter backstroke with a time of 1:13.37 that had stood since 1994.

On Saturday, the 50 eliminator was showcased and Karlyn Healy won the girls trophy.

Conner Milligan was the men’s champion just out touching Conner Skuse for the title.

Pursued Campbell River U16 pressed hard towards the end of Sunday’s B Cup playdowns against Comox but couldn’t close the 2-0 gap and were eliminated.

Tyees: Best of three series final Continued from A29

Tyee defenseman Rio Massee opened the scoring, ripping home a point shot on his first shift. Josh Coblenz made it 2-0 a few minutes later, burying a rebound after a blast by Nick Klein-Beekman.

The Grizzlies cut the lead in half midway through the period, but Devyn Grant got that one back, scoring on a rocket of a onetimer from the right point. Coblenz then notched his second of the period, a powerplay marker, that made it 4-1 and chased Juan de Fuca’s starting goaltender.

Tyson Goebel

increased the lead to 5-1 early in the second, converting a fine setup by Travis Goodwin.

But just when the Tyees appeared to be in complete control the Grizzlies got rolling, scoring twice before the second period ended and forcing Campbell River netminder Nick Kirchner to make several excellent saves.

However, Kirchner and the Tyees closed the door in the third period, snuffing out Juan de Fuca’s limited opportunities and killing off a crucial power play late in the game.

Captain Gavin Rauser scored into an empty net to seal the victory.

The Grizzlies final goal

Fred Rose 2X3.5 Celebration of Life 2X3.5

came in the dying seconds.

Although pleased with the effort of his entire team, Martin singled out a pair of defensemen for special praise.

“I really liked the defensive pair of Rio Massee and Devyn Grant today,” he said, “Rio is a really smart player, he’s always talking and always looking for the open man.

Devyn plays with a lot of energy. He’s a great skater, can really shoot the puck, and has a lot of heart. They made a really solid pair today.”

The Tyees now face the Port Alberni Bulldogs for the Island Championship, a team they lost to in preliminary playoff action

earlier this month.

“That should be the only motivation we need,” Martin said, “Port Alberni is not in the final by accident – they have great goaltending, play a patient game, and take advantage of their opportunities. We just need to play the way we are capable of playing, and use the fact they have beaten us to say ‘we are better than that’…..and then show it. Losing stings but it’s a great motivator.”

The final schedule was not released at press time but the best of three series is expected to begin this weekend. The winner advances to the Tier 2 Provincials scheduled for next month in Rossland/Trail.

2X6 Lady The Bra

Is Coming to Size You Up

Are you tired of feeling saggy, lumpy, pinched or strained? Well you’re not alone. As you’ve probably seen on Oprah or read in women’s magazines, over 80 per cent of all women wear the wrong size bra.

Here’s where Barb Chapman, the Bra Lady, comes in.

Chapman is coming to CAMPBELL RIVER ON TUESDAY & WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 28 & 29 to outfit you with the best possible bra for your body. Chapman

THE BRA LADY

said she will be seeing clients on a one-on-one basis, explaining the benefits of good bras and measuring their bodies properly.

“Most women just want to find a good-fitting bra that’s not uncomfortable,” Chapman said. “What they don’t realize is that a good support bra is also important for blood circulation and enhanced lymph drainage.”

Chapman has over 200 bra sizes available for ordering, ranging from 30AA to 52KK. It’s likely that you’ll fit somewhere between those sizes.

She offers these questions for women to ask themselves: • Do you have a drawer full of bras but none that fit comfortably?

• Does your bust line “bounce” when you walk while wearing your “everyday” bra?

• Do you overflow the cup of your bra?

• Do your bra straps slip off your shoulders or dig into your shoulders leaving red and painful marks?

• Does your bra ride up in the back because you tighten the straps to give you added support?

• Have you ever begun an exercise class only to drop out because your breasts ached from lack of support while jumping or running?

If you answer yes to any of these you are in need of a new bra, and a custom one could be the way to go.

YOU’VE TRIED ALL THE REST - NOW TRY THE BEST • NO UNDERWIRES • NO ELASTIC STRAPS • NO STRAPS FALLING OFF SHOULDERS • NO RIDING UP IN THE BACK

You can sign up for Chapman’s bra clinic by calling

1-800-254-3938 BY FEBRUARY 26TH

She doesn’t come into town very often so she advises booking as soon as possible.
