Liberal MP calls on public to support oil tanker ban Residents facing potential ‘tax shock’ PAUL RUDAN

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Why should people in Campbell River care about a possible oil pipeline and tankers streaming into the port of Kitimat? “The only thing in it for Campbell River would be an oil spill,” said Mike Holland, the federal Liberal candidate for North Island. Holland joined up with Liberal MP Joyce Murray on Wednesday to support her bill to formalize the oil tanker ban on the North Coast. “Is there or isn’t there a moratorium? There never has been a law,” said the member for Vancouver Quadra, during a small gathering at Banner’s Restaurant. The news rattled Leona Adams of the Campbell River Estuary Protection Group who thought the moratorium on tanker traffic – for the North Coast as well as the Inside Passage – had some legal clout. But, according to Murray, the federal Conservative government does not recognize an “official moratorium,” enacted by former Liberal Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau in 1972. “We need it to be a law,” Adams replied. But North Island MP John Duncan disagreed. “I don’t comprehend the practicality of what they’re trying to accomplish,” the Conservative member said Thursday during a phone interview. “We can’t support it. I think it’s quite a backwards move. It’s not consistent with the Asia-Pacific gateway and it penalizes the B.C. and

The city needs to “pare down” or run the risk of having to make some “mildly radical” changes, according to a city councillor looking at this year’s pre-budget figures. “The only other way around this is looking at the level of services we provide this city,” Coun. Roy Grant said. “Citizens are going to be in for a real shock if we don’t reconsider. We’ve either got to pare down considerably or we’re looking at some mildly radical solutions to the problems here.” Coun. Claire Moglove said reducing services is a balancing Continued on Page A3

Budget: Impact from Catalyst ‘significant’ Continued from Page 1 act. “ W h e n yo u t a l k about cutting services, you have to be careful you don’t cut out too much and become a city without a soul and that won’t attract new business,” she said. “While I agree to a certain extent that some service reductions have to be done I’m of the view we have to be very careful.” City staff already cut $1.803 million from the budget by reducing expenditures in five departments. Additional cuts “will result in reduction or elimination of services which will directly impact personnel and positions,” said Laura Ciarniello, city manager of corporate services. The city is projected to spend $35.89 million in 2011, a reduction of $1.5 million over last

year. But revenues continue to fall, leaving the city with a $1.59 deficit largely as a result of the Catalyst mill closure. “The impact from Catalyst is significant,” said city manager Andy Laidlaw, and it’s worse than expected. Last month, the city estimated it would lose $1.37 million in tax revenue with the shutdown. But an additional loss of $350,000 in utility revenue from decreased hydro consumption by Catalyst has the city out $1.7 million. To make matters worse, Catalyst tax revenues will be reduced further in 2012 by anywhere from $250,000 to $500,000, according to Laidlaw’s budget options report.

sented council with options it can take to help balance the budget. Raising taxes by four per cent across all tax classes, with council reserving another four per cent increase towards the 2012 budget, was one method Laidlaw presented. Coun. Grant would like to see taxation ratios altered slightly, to more evenly distribute the financial burden between the tax classes. Cur rently, 20 per cent of the city’s tax revenues come from business, or about $4 million, whereas close to $15 million comes from residential. “My contention is that we share the load somewhat equitably,” said Grant. “Some businesses in our community are suffering from the downward trend in our commu-

nity but a lot of citizen taxpayers are suffering as a result of the downward trend as well.” Grant said he would like to see consideration given to increasing the business portion to anywhere from 20.5 to 21.5 per cent. Coun. Andy Adams noted many businesses in Campbell River are hurting and doesn’t think it would be fair to raise their taxes. “I don’t think there’s a ny ro o m fo r a n increase in the business tax at this time,” said Adams. “I think it would also make it difficult in attracting industry that may want to invest in Campbell River. That leaves residential taxes or cutting services.” The impact of a four per cent increase on an average home, assessed at $268,000, would be $39 which would generate $508,000 of new

money for the city. An eight per cent increase would cost a home owner $85 more and bring in $1.106 million. Mayor Charlie Cornfield said he was not p re p a re d T u e s d ay night to go ahead with any percentage increases until council knows what they mean in real dollars to home and business owners. Another option is to use a one-time $277,000 accumulated account surplus and Strathcona Regional Tax Levy worth $611,000 to reduce the 2011 deficit to $702,000 but councillors Adams and Moglove suggested it would be prudent to save half of those funds and put them towards the 2012 budget. City council will discuss the budget and make its final decisions March 28-April 1.

Drive Smart BC Should Government Revise Our 2X14 TYEE CHEV New Impaired Driving Program? Our new impaired driving penalties appear to be getting the word out: drinking and driving is not acceptable here in B.C. If you do and are caught, it will be a long road to travel in order to restore your driving privileges. So be it, you knew that there could be consequences when you turned the key. Yes, this is hurting the alcoholic beverage industry. Restaurants and pubs are suffering from a significant loss in business as people are either staying home to do their drinking or are choosing to have only one drink with a meal or even not having an alcoholic drink at all. I’m sorry that you are hurting, but I would not for a minute lower the legislated blood alcohol or penalty levels. The provincial government, as it should, looked at how the legislation was working and decided to review it. If I understand the news coverage correctly, the Solicitor General plans to expand the review process for drivers who made a mistake to insure that they have been dealt with fairly. Since the courts do not become involved in the first instance, this is a reasonable action to take. If your life has been touched by the actions of an impaired driver I don’t have to tell you to encourage our government to continue with their strong efforts to deter drinking and driving. If it hasn’t, you have been blessed. I hope that the actions of government continue to insure your safety. The author is a retired constable with many years of traffic enforcement experience.

Murray said her bill focuses on a “larger scale of risk” and is intended to avoid a worse-case scenario. She added that most of her fellow Liberal MPs, as well as members of the Opposition, are supportive of the bill, but it has only gone through first reading in Parliament. “Bills don’t often pass first reading,” she said, as she urged the public to support her cause. “Our coast is a national jewel.” Murray is asking supporters to express their concerns to their MP or to log onto her website: joycemurray. ca/support-c606

Murray also noted that her bill would have no effect on existing operations or on tankers carrying natural gas. “I consider my bill to be sustainable economic development,” she said.

Twinning Society cancels Japan visit KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Two Campbell River students staying in Ishikari are fine following last week’s massive earthquake and tsunami. “We’ re all abundantly aware of the situation in Japan but I can report that the Campbell River Twinning Society has been in touch with the staff in Ishikari and has ensured that both senior students (Jesse and Jessica) are safe and well,” said Coun. Andy Adams, a director of the Twinning Society, at Tuesday’s council meeting. The pair of high school students, one from Carihi and one

Although Ishikari was spared, the same can’t be said for other communities in the country. Because of the risks, this year’s group of Young Ambassadors (11 students, ages 11-14) has had their trip to Ishikari cancelled indefinitely.

from Timberline, are studying in Campbell River’s sister city, Ishikari, this year as part of an exchange program. Adams said the local Twinning Society has been in touch with Ishikari’s Twinning Society and discussions have been continuing as to whether or not the two students will be sent home. “It’s really hour by hour,” said Adams. “We’re trying to get the most up-to-date information to make a determination but ultimately it’s the parents decision.” Fo r t u n a t e l y, t h e island of Hokkaido, where Ishikari is located, was not largely impacted by the earth-

The problem of where to put garbage is one every municipality faces along with the dilemma: Not in my

backyard! That’s the message from some residents in the north end of the city who don’t want the closed Elk Falls mill and its nearby ash dump turned into a new waste-toenergy facility and landfill. There’s no official proposal to do just that, but the residents are understandably concerned after the regional district and our mayor asked for a consultant’s report on the feasibility of such a facility. And who can blame the residents? The mill smoke and odour is finally gone, and now they face the possibility of a regional landfill? Well, apparently Coun. Ziggy Stewart, who sits on the

waste management committee, doesn’t approve of proactive democracy. He chided the Elk Falls opponents at the recent regional district meeting for spreading “misinformation” and said he wouldn’t be “pushed around.” He’s right about the fact the committee should consider all its options, but his comments to residents were uncalled for. Instead of thanking them for taking the time out of their busy days to present their concerns, he insulted them. It’s that type of juvenile reaction to proactive democracy that should go straight into the dump.

Good point: Forestry It is well known that the Coast forest industry has been in serious decline for a long time. What is often forgotten is that the precipitator of decline was the self-imposed burden of “Super-stumpage” and the prescriptive Forest Practices Code, which were brought in by the prior government in 1994 and 1995. In fact, the average coast log costs skyrocketed up by around 80 per cent. The net affect was that we priced ourselves out of the global market (especially Japan) and within a few years the disinvestment phenomenon began to unravel as mills began to suffer large unnecessary unsustainable losses. Fast forward to the back half of 2008 and the global financial meltdown almost destroyed what little life was left in the coastal manufacturing sector mainly because of the collapse of the U.S. housing market, which still persists today. However, things are in fact much brighter today looking forward. One of the first most critical fundamental steps taken to fix the mess was the implementation of a Results Based Code in 2004 (FRPA) which stripped out red tape and introduced reliance of forest professionals to get the job done in the woods, not behind desks. The other critical step was the introduction of a fair market based pricing system for stumpage calculations. Since then we have seen countless other positive policy changes which collectively have and will benefit Continued on A9

Not the kind of coincidence you want to see too much

Alistair Taylor Out On A Limb

It’s the kind of coincidence you don’t want to hear about but what can you do? If you’ll recall in my Feb. 25 column, I wrote about my own outdoor hockey playing memory. It was about playing in an outdoor community rink in Ross River, Yukon. I hadn’t thought much about it in the 36 years since it happened but the outdoor Heritage Classic was played in Calgary Feb. 20 and it prompted me to reflect on my own outdoor hockey experience. Well, I was watching the CanucksCalgary game on Saturday night and in between periods Ron Maclean of Hockey Night in Canada reported the sad news that the community rink in Ross River had burned down! By this time, of course, the community had an indoor rink and recreation

centre that came about, at least partially, through the efforts of locallystationed Mounties. The loss to that small First Nations community is tragic, of course. The recreation centre served as a diversion from social problems that are sadly too common in remote northern communities. Genesee Keevil of the Yukon News (where I worked for two-and-a-half years in the late eighties), reported: “By 4 a.m., flames were leaping from the building, considered by many to be the heart of the community. “Standing outside at minus 35, the community gathered to watch the building burn. “‘Everyone’s in shock,’ said Doreen Etzel, who works at the general store. ‘It’s especially bad for the kids, they

lost all that hockey equipment and now they have nowhere to go at night.’ Above the rink, there was a drop-in centre where Ross River’s youth played pool, video games, watched movies and just hung out.” Keevil later wrote: “And the arena – which was featured during Hockey Day in Canada – had just been renovated. “Ross River’s RCMP detachment put hours of work into the rink, replacing the boards, grading the sand before the ice was laid, and painting the lines on the frozen surface.” Hopefully, the community can get the facility rebuilt. ❑❑❑❑ Meanwhile, speaking of rebuilt facilities, my daughter and I took advantage of the free swimming on

Saturday at the recently re-opened Strathcona Gardens pool. It didn’t look much different other than the family change room wasn’t open yet and the men’s change room had been moved to where the women’s used to be and it’s smaller. Which was interesting because these free days at the pool are hugely popular and the pool is jam packed. I’ve been to some New Year’s Eve swims where you can barely find a patch of open water. The pool is definitely the most popular recreation facility in town. There was a great deal of people upset about the delays with the renovation but that’s all behind us now. Makes me think of the old song, you don’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone.

OPINION

FRIDAY, MARCH 18, 2011 | CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR |

Forestry: Still a sunrise industry Continued from A8 us over the long term. Fortunately, we have a Minister (Pat Bell) who has worked tirelessly and strategically drumming up business in China for our lumber mills through numerous Trade Missions to help open up an alternative market to the U.S. We have been able to increase our lumber sales to China dramatically provincewide to record levels as we participate in their voracious g rowing economy and demand for lumber for con-

struction and further manufacturing. This doesn’t result in hugely profitable businesses here, but at least many of our mills have been fired up or are running more shifts. I should mention that other countries are also very important for our wood exports, especially Japan, but they cannot fill the gap we are missing from the important U.S. market. The coast logging sector has recovered a bit better because there is a very strong log export market to Asia,

China in particular. This has been a blessing as it has put thousands of people back to work. The spin-off of logging for export is that it also generates logs for domestic mills here that otherwise wouldn’t be available without the export program that can make

blocks of timber economic to harvest. T he coast forest industry has bounced off the bottom and is now beginning to slowly recover. We need a steady hand in government to let the economic activity continue to grow without encumbrances or

unnecessary costs. Our industry will never be what it once was. It will be completely different and better. It will be reliant on vigorous second growth forests and will have more efficient harvesting operations and manufacturing plants. And Continued on A10

Industry: Planet will be driven towards more wood Continued from A9 soon it will have a new, younger and energetic workforce entering the sector in planning, harvesting, silviculture, manufacturing, government and consulting, to name a few. For young people in Campbell River, I encourage you to look at the forest industry very closely as it holds promise of being a Sunrise Industry. With the wave of babyboomer retirements sweeping through as we speak, you have endless opportunities to join the greenest and most environmentally-friendly major resource industry on the planet, right here on the coast of British Columbia. It is the only major industry that can reverse the carbon emission issue because wood products store carbon while the new forests sequester carbon from the atmosphere, plus wood consumes the least energy of all of the major alternative products such as concrete, steel and oil derivatives – and as well it is a clean, renewable bioenergy source. As the world’s population expands further, science and sensible environmentalism will drive us to use more wood. You can be a part of that future.

Powell River is giving up the trophy to Campbell River in the second annual Loonie War to raise community awareness of traumatic brain injuries (TBI) as well as support local TBI survivors. “Thanks to the generosity of the businesses and organizations who allowed us to place Loonie Bins, those who allowed us to hold Tag Days and especially the big-hearted people of Campbell River we col-

lected almost $2,400,” said Jean Allen of the Campbell River Head Injury Support Society. “This money will all stay in Campbell River to support head injury survivors and their families and to continue education programs. We would love to be able to thank each of our amazing helpers and donors individually but that is not possible so we will list all the businesses that helped us on our website, www.crhead. ca.”

Dubois will be there on the same day to share his knowledge about mason bees. Growing your own food can be tremendously satisfying and is also good for the environment.

Marion back together after a 10-year hiatus. Unsung is proud to bring in new member Kyle Hilliard into the fold as their drummer without whom this reunion could never have been possible. The band Unsung o r i g i n a l ly fo r m e d in 1998. They began playing at the People Cabaret stage on Monday Night Jam nights. The young men would rehearse all week and each week test out new songs, and new arrangements in front of the eager audience. The soundman Buffy recorded Unsung live straight from the PA one night and the band suddenly had a demo tape in hand. They used the live tape to get gigs up and down the Island. Unsung had the honor to open for Nickelback at Animal’s nightclub. Chad Kroeger, the vocalist for Nickelback, took Tancon under his wing and the two talked about their dreams, music, the business, and performance. Tancon knew right away that Chad Kroeger and Nickelback were going to become superstars but Chad had given him the secrets that he could utilize for his own band during the private conversations. Now its eight years later for Todd and David and 10 for Chris since they’ve been on stage together. Unsung is reuniting and ready to bring back that power and mystery they were once well known for. Two g reat bands for the price of $10. Two different types of musical energy Theo is warm, fun, and loving, while Unsung who come on later is heavy, deep, melodic, and dangerous. There will be magic in the Paramount Music hall Wednesday, will you be there to witness it?

Mum left us on March 12 to rejoin her beloved Harvey. Left to love her and cherish our memories and her stories are her three daughters, Donna Lytle of Vancouver, Gloria (Ross) Barlow of Davidsen Sask., and Carol (Jack) Innes of Campbell River; her grandchildren, Chrystal Guildameister of White Rock, Cary (Valerie) White of White Rock, Erin Innes of Vancouver, Leo (Richelle) Decker of Ladner Ivan and Thomas Decker of Vancouver and great grands Conner and Capri of White Rock; her three sisters Elsie and Ruby of Vernon BC and Sarah of Edmonton Alberta and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins, her dear friend and companion Doris Moren of Campbell River and her special friend Dr. B Carswel. Mum devoted her energies 100% to her home and family. She was a good cook and gardener and excelled at sewing and needle work. She could cobble together anything out of nothing in "gig time" too. In her later years her sewing machine hummed as she produced her many unique quilts and her wonderful blouses. Music and travelling were mum's other great loves. The family wish to thank the staff at the Special Care Unit at New Horizons for their loving and compassionate care of Mum and us in her last days and Dr. Carswel for his care and support. A memorial for Mum will be held in Campbell River later this spring. Happy travelling Mum till we meet again.

He started his journey March 5th, 1942 in Owen Sound Ontario, where he grew up and made many friends while playing lacrosse, Hockey&&racing racing lacross, Hockey stock cars. He moved to Campbell River in 1979. John was a man of many trades, glazier, fisherman, pipefitter/ welder and excelled at them all. He loved living on the west coast and spent many hours fishing, hiking, riding his Harley or just enjoying all the area had to offer.

John leaves behind his loving wife Anna, son Steve (Jill), daughters Karen (Ed) & Krista (Brian), stepson Mike (Mai) and 8 grand children. He also leaves behind three brothers Lanny, Bev, Brent (Judy), 2 sisters Brenda (George) & Wendy (Gerry). His passion for riding has Harley and his kind & generous spirit won him many life long friends and he will be missed by all. My heartfelt gratitude & thanks goes out to all his special friends, especially Bo, whom were by his side throughout John’s courageous fight with cancer. No service by John’s request. A memorial motorcycle ride and Celebration of John’s life will be held in late spring.

ANTON LODAL CHRISTIANSEN Sept. 27, 1938 – March 12, 2011 It is with deeply saddened hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Anton Lodal Christiansen. Anton (Tony) will be greatly missed and always loved by his family and friends; daughter Yolanda (Steve), daughter Carmen (Keith), grandchildren Rachelle, Kayley, Diego, and Jonah. In Denmark, Anton will be dearly missed by his sister Kaja Madsen, and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his sister Sinne Larsen. Born the 27 of September, 1938 in Faster, Denmark, to Kristian Magnus and Anna Matthea Christiansen, Anton was raised by his father and stepmother, Marie Christiansen on a farm along with his sisters,9Sinne and Kaja. At the age of 18 Anton came to Canada where he started work as a miner. He settled in Uranium City, Saskatchewan where he met Joan Gibson, who he married in 1966. They had two daughters, Yolanda and Carmen. In 1982 he moved his family to Campbell River, and worked at Westmin mine (NVI - Myra Falls) until he retired from mining and started Anton’s Lawn & Garden Service in 1990, which is where he ﬁnished his working life until 2005. He was a great, gentle, strong and intelligent man who was an example of integrity, honesty, respect and steadfast values. His work ethic was inspirational. Throughout his life, he was also an athlete, world traveller, teacher and a dedicated grandfather. He loved spending time with his grandchildren. His great passions were gardening and nurturing the land he called his home, and travelling the world. In recent years Anton travelled to Cuba, China, India, Turkey, Italy, and cruised across the Atlantic to Brazil. We will always love and miss our Dad. Anton Lodal Christiansen was 72 when he passed away on March 12, 2011. A service will be held at Bethany’s Lutheran Church, Friday, March 18, 2011, at 1pm. In lieu of ﬂowers, donations may be made to World Vision in memory of Anton Christiansen.

People donating funds to the Quadra Feral Cat Group can now get a receipt for income tax purposes. With kitten season about to start, volunteers will have their hands full trapping and fixing the parent cats and looking for adoptive homes for the kittens, who will also be spayed or neutered. The Quadra Feral Cat Group (QFCG) has fixed more than 120 cats since they began their efforts to reduce the number of homeless cats on Quadra in March 2009, and many of these cats and kittens have been placed in homes. QFCG depends on foster homes that socialize the cats and kittens that can be tamed and adopted. QFCG is also putting out a call for more volunteers.

Peewee ‘A’ Tyees go for gold A Cinderella season has the Panago Peewee ‘A’ Tyees on the brink of winning the ultimate prize. The Tyees travel to Aldergrove this weekend attempting to capture a second straight provincial championship, a feat that has never been accomplished by a Campbell River minor hockey team. Head coach Paul Stapley, who guided the locals to the title last year, has a good idea of what’s in store when the four-day tournament begins on

Sunday. “I expect the Lower Mainland teams that play in the Tier 1 division will be very strong,” he said, referring to Semiahmoo, Burnaby Winter Club, and possibly the host Alderg rove squad. “The other teams from different parts of the province will have some very good players but not the depth of the Lower Mainland teams.” The Tyees face Semiahmoo in their opening game Sunday morning in a rematch of

last year’s semi-final, which Campbell River won 3-2. They continue round-robin action Monday with a game against Williams Lake and then do battle with the Cranbrook Ice on Tuesday, the team they beat 8-3 in the final last season. “To be successful we have to be playing our very best every game,” said Stapley. “The kids have come a long way this season and I’m confident we’ll have a great tournament.” The Tyees certainly h ave m o m e n t u m

on their side, going through the Vancouver Island Tier 2 playoffs undefeated. After beating Oceanside, Port Alberni and Powell River in preliminary round play, the black and orange pounded Saanich in the semi-finals, and swept Juan de Fuca in two straight to capture the Island crown. Tyees captain Sage Lim, one of two players retur ning from last year’s squad, is also confident his team has a good chance of repeating as B.C.

champs. “We just need to keep our energy and work ethic up and not lose confidence if we get behind,” he said. “The coaches have been giving us a little bag skate at the end of every practice to make sure we have the extra strength to win in the third period.” If Lim and his teammates are successful they will once again play in the championship game which is set for 8 p.m. Wednesday night at the Aldergrove Community Arena.
