City to list excess properties on MLS KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
The city will soon be marketing properties it no longer needs more aggressively. Surplus land will be advertised and listed through Multiple Listing Service (MLS), which gathers and provides property information from realtors across Canada. “Council directed staff to list and market properties through MLS in the near future,” said Andrew Bailey, the city’s real estate/risk manager. The decision was made by city council during an in-camera session, which is closed to the public and the media, two weeks ago. Currently, when city properties go on the market, the

only form of advertising is signage on the property and, more recently, a notice on the city’s website. So far, two pieces of surplus land have been posted on the city’s home page – one on Passage View Drive and another on Menzies Way. The first is zoned for a residential home and the second is an industrial property which has been divided into sections; a few have already been sold. The chunk up for sale is 26.9 acres, located just north of the city, off Duncan Bay Road. The Passage View property is .165 of an acre and is for sale for $81,000; the land on Menzies Way is yet to be appraised. Bailey said it can be difficult Continued on A3

Scotiabank employees lead the way with United Way payroll deduction As September moves into October many United Way Campaigns are beginning at workplaces all over the city. These fundraising campaigns are hosted by the company and challenge their employees to give back to their community. In Campbell River you can find a perfect example of an employee driven fundraising campaign hosted by Vanessa Hamer and her fantastic team at Scotiabank. Describing their campaign as perfect is an understatement as every staff member at the bank gives to United Way in Campbell River. They have
also contributed every year for the last 15 years. Without missing a single year they have truly become an active partner with United Way. You might be wondering how does an employee campaign work and how can my workplace get involved? Employee workplace campaigns make up about 80 per cent of the United Way’s fundraising campaign and the money donated goes directly back to support the area where the employee’s home postal code is. This means the funds donated will be put towards programs that serve the area where the employee’s

live; helping to strength their communities and support those in need. The program itself is quite simple to administer: The employees fill out a single form and United Way will organize the rest in coordination with the payroll department. With payroll deduction, the individual can choose how much to donate. This donation is noted on the T4 form at the end of the year for tax purposes and without very much effort that individual has joined thousands of others in supporting their community through local assistance programs.
counsel Bruce Goddard requested a no-contact order between Williams and four witnesses – two of which are his mother and father – which was granted by Judge Peter Doherty. On Monday, defence attorney Angie Penhall opposed the no-contact order. “He’s 18, he’s overwhelmed,” Penhall told court. “He indicated he really wanted to speak with his parents.” Doherty said it was not

“appropriate” to disallow Williams contact with his parents, and granted the request. Police responded to a report of assault last Wednesday at 2:10 a.m. at a home at 1815 Mo Road. Thomas, 33, was rushed to Campbell River hospital where he died a couple of hours later. Last Thursday, Goddard told court that witnesses reported a stabbing.

Properties: proceeds go to Capital Lending Reserve Continued from A1 for the city to sell off property and part of the reason is the asking price. “The city is somewhat constrained in that it doesn’t have the ability to sell property for whatever it wants,” Bailey said. “It can’t be sold for less than the appraised market value.” The money the city makes off the proper-
ties typically goes into the city’s Capital Lending Reserve which council can dip into to fund different projects. Bailey said from time to time city staff take a look at what properties aren’t being used and could be sold to help generate some extra dollars. “There’s different lots and properties the city owns and as time goes on, often they are
not actively being used. However, we don’t want to go to council until we know for a fact it’s not being used or is going to be used in the future by the public,” Bailey said. “It’s a balancing act.” The city also looks at selling off road ends. It’s currently in the process of trying to sell land at the end of Bathurst Road. “We’re taking a road
end, closing it off and turning it into a lot and then we can go and sell it,” said Bailey who figures it could take another four or five months to complete the process and put the Bathurst property on the market. In the meantime, city staff plan on listing more properties through MLS to get “much better exposure,” Bailey said.

convention to have the provincial government recognize coastal ferry services as part of the highway system, reduce ferry fares and ensure current service levels are frozen until it is part of the highways system again. “This is the resolution from roughly 2,000 delegates to the provincial government so they got the opinion of local government,� said Abram. Abram, along with 10 other leaders of coastal regional districts, met with Premier Christy Clark and Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Blair Lekstrom during the convention last week to discuss the issue of coastal ferries. Abram said the main points of discussion were the review of the Coastal Ferry Act, with intention of eliminating it; a need for a reduction in fares; and the possibility of the service going back under the “umbrella
of the highway system.� Meanwhile, B.C. Ferry Commissioner Gordon Macatee held a public hearing last Monday on Quadra Island as part of his Ferries Review. Abram said about 275 people crammed into the Community Centre and as many submissions as could possibly be made were made. “All of them basically insisting that the fares are destroying our communities, causing young families to move off the islands,� said Abram. “It’s wrecking havoc with our tourism, with our jobs on the islands, with the economy of the Island, and it’s got to change.� According to Abram, things now hinge on Macatee’s report, which should be complete sometime in October. Sometime between December and January the chairs and vice-chairs will meet with Clark and Lekstrom again to discuss the report before any decisions are made.

RCMP: B&E’s may be linked RENÉE ANDOR CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Campbell River RCMP are investigating a possible link between three break and enters since June. Oyster River Liquor store was broken into by two males at about 1 a.m. on Monday
morning. Responding investigators determined that two males, dressed in black, attached a cable to a jacked up black Ford pick-up truck and used the vehicle to pull open the door of the business, according to RCMP Sgt. Craig Massey.
The culprits then carried a small safe to the rear of the truck and took off south bound on Highway 19A. Massey said the break and enter is similar to one at Campbell River Collateral on July 15, and one at Campbell River Health and Drug
Store in Merecroft Village on June 20. At the drug store, thieves used a stolen truck to pull a safe out of the store. At Campbell River Collateral, thieves used a stolen truck to pull off the door to the business and steal over $19,000 worth of goods.
Seven charged in jewelry heist RENÉE ANDOR CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Three people have been sentenced with four more still before the courts after a jewelry theft in July. At about 4:25 a.m. on July 15 Campbell River RCMP responded to a report of a break and enter at the business in the 800 block of the Island Highway. The front door was smashed and pulled out using tow chains and a truck, Crown counsel Bruce Goddard told the court last Monday. Three men seen by witnesses had their faces covered, and stole two garbage cans worth of property, mostly jewelry. The estimated value of loss from the business is $19,282. The men fled the scene and collided with another vehicle at 5th and Thulin,
then moved the stolen property to a different vehicle and took off. The other vehicle was later found by RCMP at City Hall. A few days after the break and enter a Campbell River Collateral employee identified some jewelry at local pawn shops. On Sept. 12 Arthur Nelson pleaded guilty to the break and enter of Campbell River Collateral. He was sentenced to 318 days in jail, a DNA order, two years of probation, and a $50 victim surcharge. Ellis plead guilty to possession of property obtained by crime in relation to the break and enter of Campbell River Collateral, and was sentenced Sept. 16 to 130 days in jail and two years of probation. Bruce Nelson plead guilty to possession of
property obtained by crime. He was sentenced on Monday to two years of probation and a $500 fine. Goddard said Bruce and Ellis were identified in the pawning of the jewelry but were likely not involved with the break and enter. “We have evidence that there were three young males involved in the break and enter. We know that Bruce Nelson and Tanya Ellis don’t fit that description,” said Goddard, as Bruce is 51-years-old and Ellis is a woman. Teri Wells is also charged in connection to the break in and will appear before court on Oct. 17. With the assistance of Naniamo RCMP, Eddie Nelson, Gordon Nelson, and Alexis Forbes were arrested

Managing Your Money Sharing your bounty – give to receive. Giving is good. Good for your community, good for your charities, good for those who bene¿t from your charitable acts and donations. And to make the sharing of your bounty even more appealing, giving can be good for you, too. Your philanthropic gift is always important, no matter the amount of your assets or the size of your income – but to make the best use of your contributions, to preserve your legacy, and to minimize taxes and/ or estate fees, a sound charitable giving plan is the way to go. Let’s look at your options. Name a charity as a bene¿ciary The simplest option. In your will, leave a bequest of money or gift in kind (securities or artwork, for example) to a recognized charity and your estate will receive a charitable donation tax receipt that could reduce or eliminate the income tax on your ¿nal return and possibly on the immediately preceding return, as well. Establish a Donor Advised Fund As the donor, you receive an immediate tax receipt for all contributions made to the fund and you also retain the rights to select the charities that are to receive your fund’s annual income. Establish a Charitable Remainder Trust This is an irrevocable trust

that can hold assets such as cash or mutual funds. All the interest and dividends are paid to you as taxable income. Upon your death, the trust assets (known as the remainder) go immediately to the charity you have designated. When the trust is established, you receive a donation receipt for the ‘remainder interest’ of the trust. Donate a life insurance policy while you live With this option, you ensure your charity will receive the total death bene¿t under the policy while you enjoy certain tax credits. Donate publicly funded stocks or securities You will pay no capital gains tax on the donated securities and will receive a tax receipt for their full value. Establish a Charitable Life Annuity You will continue to receive a lifetime income from the donated assets for yourself, or for you and your spouse.
Much of the annuity cash Àow is tax free and you’ll receive a charitable receipt for a portion of the donations based on the amount of annuity income you receive and your life expectancy. Establish a Private Foundation If your donation is very substantial, this option allows your name or family’s name to be permanently associated with the causes you’ve chosen. Ask your professional advisor for help in establishing a planned giving strategy that makes the most of your bounty for your charities and for you.

Cougar lurking around Campbell River KRISTEN DOUGLAS
CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
T hank You!
A cougar spotted on the Canyon View Trail last Thursday managed to evade conservation officers and tracking dogs. Conservation officers received four different phone calls from trail users who noticed the big cat lurking about 200-300 metres away from the outhouses near the John Hart
Dam Generating Station. “It was moving around adjacent to Highway 28 and the Campbell River, pretty close to the generating station,” said Conservation Officer Ryan Gordon. “Two officers and contracted houndsmen with two tracking dogs arrived around 2 p.m.” The area was closed off for four and a half hours while officers
tried to hunt down the cougar. Gordon said although the dogs did indicate there had been a cougar in the area, the animal was never found. “The last call we got was from an individual whose dog had chased the cougar up a tree,” Gordon said. “We did a grid pattern around the area to see where he was headed and the search indicated he had
moved out of the area, towards Highway 28.” The incident on the Canyon View Trail is just one in a string of recent cougar sightings. Gordon said cons e r vat i o n o f f i c e r s have received several reports within the last week of a cougar hanging around the Quinsam Campground and said it’s likely the same cat. “It’s not abnormal to
have cougar sightings in our area but it is unusual that the cougar hasn’t moved out of the area,” Gordon said. “Usually people who call have just got a glimpse of a cougar on the side of the road or of one running through their backyard. They usually move on pretty quickly.” Gordon said just last Friday he received a couple of calls from
people who noticed a cougar on Quinsam Road. “There has been a cougar in and around that area for some time, a month at least,” Gordon said. “ We ’ l l j u s t w a i t for updates and if there’s another sighting, we will definitely respond.” Gordon warned it’s possible the cougar could return to the Canyon View Trail
and urges trail users to be aware of their surroundings and to exercise caution. If you encounter a cougar, don’t run but face the cougar and make yourself look big by raising your arms. Try to get to higher ground than the cougar and don’t make any sudden movements. To report a cougar sighting, please call the RAPP line, 1-877952-7277.

gather input from First Nations before going ahead with a petition to designate three lighthouses as heritage buildings. After a misunderstanding in August with the We Wai Kai/ Cape Mudge Band over land titles and the Cape Mudge Lighthouse, the Regional District elected two weeks ago to include all First Nations in any decisions. “There was some confusion this might have to do with land titles, but heritage protection has nothing to do with land claims as title, it’s just to make sure these buildings are not destroyed by the Coast Guard,” Jim Abram, v i c e - ch a i r o f t h e Strathcona Regional District Board said. “That confusion has been cleared up.” But before proceeding with a petition – which would need to be presented to the federal government with 25 signatures – Regional District directors chose to refer the issue to local First Nations.

“It’s a matter of courtesy and respect,” Abram said. “It’s their traditional territories that these structures are in, even though they are owned by the federal government. We want to inform them of what the Regional District’s intentions are and we want their opinions.” The Regional District intends to nominate the Cape Mudge, Chatham Point and Nootka lighthouses for heritage designation through the federal government’s Heritage Lighthouse Protection Act. Three separate petitions would need to be sent to Parks Canada for consideration. If successful, the designation would protect the lighthouses from demolition or sale, something Abram, a former lightkeeper, is very passionate about. “It’s been a 25-year battle,” Abram said. “I’ve been at the front of the fight four different times and we’ve won every time.” He’s eager to see the three lighthouses receive protection but at the same time wants to do what he feels is
right. “There isn’t a huge rush to do this – we have until next spring,” Abram said. “In the meantime, we’ll consult with the First Nations over the issue. It’s a gesture of respect and co-operation.” Abram said it doesn’t have to be a local governing body nominating the lighthouses either, anyone who wants to protect the lighthouses can create a petition, as long as there are 25 people to sign it, it will be considered. “We thought, as the Regional District, we could be a leader and it would make sense for us to do it and that’s why we came forward in the first place,” Abram said. “But if it doesn’t happen that way, it should happen in another way. There is a great deal of heritage there, a great deal of history and a great deal of usage by First Nations and non-First Nations.” Cape Mudge, Chatham Point and Nootka lighthouses all remain staffed and active.

Campbell River is the winner of two awards presented last week at the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) convention. The city was honoured with a Community Recognition Award for its Wood First Policy last Wednesday, and one day later, took first place in community engagement at the UBCM Excellence Awards in Vancouver. “The Community Excellence Awards program recognizes ideas that rise above challenges with vision, creativity and teamwork,” said Heath Slee, awards chair. Mayor Charlie Cornfield was surprised but pleased that Campbell River was a winner. “It’s really an amazing award, we’ve been
recognized by our peer group and others involved in the UBCM executive which is made up of elected officials around the province,” Cornfield said. “There are critics that say ‘this can be done better’ but this award just confirms we’re doing the right thing.” Campbell River was singled out in the Civic Eng a g ement category for its efforts in increasing awareness of government services during Local Government Awareness Week, and for facilitating community participation in policy development for the Sustainable Official Community Plan. The city hosted several open houses to gather input into the A g r i c u l t u re P l a n , Master Transportation Plan and other aspects of the Sustainable Official Community Plan.
“This award is one we share with the entire community,” Mayor Charlie Cornfield said. “It’s the staff, it’s council, it’s the community.” M o re t h a n 1 , 5 0 0 Campbell Riverites have contributed input into the Sustainable Plan, including youth and First Nations. There have been 25 public workshops and forums organized by city staff and consulting teams HB Lanarc, Beringia Planning and Urban Systems. “Many staff members worked very hard, and put in extra time in order for Campbell River to earn this prestigious award,” Cornfield said. “Over the past year we have had so much meaningful input and ideas from our community about their vision for the future and we are excited to put these

into policy in the Sustainable Community Plan.” The Community Excellence Awards are presented annually at the UBCM’s yearly, week-long conference. Campbell River’s second award was presented by Wood Works! BC for demonstrating leadership and vision by adopting Wood First commitments. City council passed a Wood First policy
last October to ensure all future city-funded buildings and additions will use wood as the primary building material. Prior to adopting the policy, the city had passed a Wood First resolution to fall in line with the province’s Wood First Act, which requires projects funded by the provincial government to be mostly constructed out of wood.

Past principal for Trustee Richard Franklin has announced his candidacy for the office of School Trustee in the upcoming election. Franklin worked in School District #72 for 31 years. He retired in 2009 from the Principalship of Pinecrest Elementary School. During his long career in education, Franklin worked in many capacities. He served as president of the Campbell River District Teacher’s Association (CRDTA) and as president of the Campbell River Principals’ and
Vice Principals’ Association (BCPCEA). In 2007, he was recognized with the Distinguished Principal of the Year Award by the Canadian Association of Principals. Since retirement, Franklin has worked supervising student teachers for Vancouver Island University, as a sales associate at the Home Depot, and presently as a policy advisor for the Sasamans Society. He volunteers his time as vice president of the Campbell River Association for Com-
munity Living. Franklin believes that students need a well-rounded, high quality education in order to succeed in the 21st Century. “School District #72, in my experience, puts the interests of students first,” Franklin said. “It is my goal to serve as trustee, and to help carry on a tradition of providing a great education in safe schools.” But Franklin said he doesn’t believe the district can rest on its laurels.
“We must strive for excellence, improve a c h i eve m e n t , a n d increase graduation rates, in particular for Aboriginal students,” he said. “British Columbia is experiencing challenging times. We have some of the highest rates of children living in poverty, high unemployment, and a provincial government deficit. Since 1994, the BC Teachers’ Federation and BCPCEA have been unsuccessful in negotiating a provincial collective agree-
ment. Franklin said this has an impact on school climate, and ultimately, the quality of education being offered in schools. Franklin said these elected trustees give the electorate a local voice on the provincial scene. “Trustees need to be strong advocates for their schools, their employees, parents, and most importantly the students,” Franklin said. “School districts also must live within the budget, and ensure the taxpayers’ dollars are spent wisely.”
Richard Franklin is running for School Trustee.
Campbell River gets a new Francophone School A community celebration was held Monday to celebrate the official opening of École Mer-et-montagne, a new elementary school to serve Francophone students in the Campbell River area. “My congratulations to all those who have helped to bring this latest Francophone school to life in Campbell River. The Conseil Scolaire Francophone is a vital part of our education system and we are pleased to support its impressive
growth,” said Minister of Education George Abbott. C o n s e i l S c o l a i re Francophone board chair Raymond Ouimet said the new school is an example of teamwork. “The new building of École Mer-et-montagne is a reflection of what the Province and the Conseil Scolaire Francophone can do to benefit education and the Francophone children of this province when they work together,” said Ouimet. “Today, we can only
thank the Ministry of Education, and note that we managed to build something quite remarkable.” The total cost of the new school was $10.1 million, with the provincial gover nment contributing $8.9 million and the federal government contributing $1.2 million. The project created 65 new jobs for the area. The school is on the now vacant site of Rockland Elementary School. Only the existing gym was retained after
seismic upgrading. The school has a capacity of 100 students from kindergarten to Grade 7. École Mer-et-montagne was built to LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold standards. Design features include: - Systems to harvest rainwater - Ground source heat pump - Energy efficient mechanical and electrical systems All F rancophone
schools in B.C. are part of the Conseil Scolaire Francophone de la Colombie-Britannique (CSF). The CSF is a public school district that covers all of B.C. Since its
inception in 1995, the CSF has offered programs and educational services enhancing the full development and cultural identity of Francophone learners in the province.
Enrolment in the CSF for 2011-12 is 4,607 students, a two per cent increase over last year, and an increase of more than 63 per cent over the last decade.

Our View
Still time to consult on smart meters One of the hot topics at this week’s Union of B.C. Municipalities convention is BC Hydro’s controversial decision to bring in smart meters. This has been an issue for many people around the province. We say: Aside Aside from some irrational fears of radiation, there are legitimate from irrational public concerns over privacy, loss fears, there are of jobs for meter readers and billing based on time of use. However, real issues the smart meter issue boils down to one simple fact. The government pushed the idea through without proper consultation, and has
continued to stick with the proposal despite a change in leadership and a new minister of energy, who has already taken a much closer look at all aspects of Hydro’s operations. Energy Minister Rich Coleman is perhaps one of the most pragmatic members of the cabinet. He was asked by former premier Gordon Campbell to take on many challenging files, and he relishes hard work. He has already shown a willingness to make some changes in the way Hydro does things. Thus it would be no real problem for him to ask Hydro to delay the smart meter program, at least until there has been full consultation with the
public. Coleman knows, as do all members of the cabinet, that this lack of proper consultation is what doomed the HST, and it is unlikely that he would like to see a repeat of that fiasco. BC Hydro could arrange a series of public meetings on the topic, and give the public a chance to ask questions and present their views. Hydro can bring out experts on smart meters and also outline exactly why the corporation feels they are so important. Hydro and the government have not handled this issue well thus far, but there is still time to rectify much of the damage. – Black Press
Good point: ‘Slate politics’ may be a sign of maturation So Darryn Striga is a disciple of “doesn’t matter what I say, just spell my name right.” And here I thought that democracy was all about presenting ideas from people to be voted on. As he tries to separate himself from the pack, he might be better off in putting forth a platform himself rather than being critical of those who have spent the time thinking about convincing voters to vote on Nov. 19. I understand that fusion is not putting forth a slate of candidates, but will be endorsing those with an appreciable knowledge of how to get Campbell River moving again, how not to raise taxes and to be more business friendly to people wanting to start up new business or expansion of their existing business. There are two other groups that are presenting platforms for voter consideration. Sadly in the past, many councillors have been elected without a platform, but with a coalition of friends. Nothing wrong with that but maybe we are maturing as a community in voting for ideas rather than cronyism. Sterling Campbell Campbell River
Dumb leaders attack smart meters at UBCM
Tom Fletcher B.C. Views
The annual Union of B.C. Municipalities convention spent quite a bit of time talking about new wireless technology. Unfortunately, most of it was wasted on ignorance and fear, fanned by the NDP, Green Party and some like-minded opportunists in local government. A tiny group of protesters gathered outside the Vancouver convention centre each morning, setting up a pile of picket signs wailing about imagined smart meter sins from privacy invasion to human rights violation. One of them allowed that she was wearing “special clothing” to ward off the bad rays. That’s understandable, since BC Hydro calculates that
a delegate’s wireless signal exposure from four days at the UBCM convention is equivalent to standing next to a smart meter for 1,147 years. And that’s not even calculating those other horrible sources of electromagnetic energy bombarding downtown Vancouver, such as traffic lights, spark plugs, and let’s not forget the Sun or Earth’s molten core. It wasn’t all foolishness, however. I attended an economic development panel, at which physician and cabinet minister Margaret MacDiarmid described the continuing extension of rural cell phone and internet service underway since the extension of the B.C. government’s contract with Telus.
There was not a discouraging word about cell phone towers, the innovation that spawned the anti-wireless cult in California many years ago. Quite the contrary. MacDiarmid was beseeched to get cell service to northern Vancouver Island and un-serviced parts of the Interior, and to cut through the multiministry maze still required for routine approval of towers. Cell phones save lives on remote highways. In the main hall, supposedly experienced municipal leaders continued to parrot fear of “microwaves” and such drivel, either because they believe it or because they are pandering to those who do. This continued on talk radio, which stoked the smart
meter “controversy” all week, apparently because it reliably generates angry calls. The descent into farce became complete when delegates had a show of hands on a resolution to place a moratorium on a smart meter installation program that BC Hydro has already paid for. The vote was too close to call, so they had to fish out their wireless voting devices to vote about 55 per cent in favour of the moratorium. Premier Christy Clark was asked after the convention if her government would contemplate a moratorium on meter installation. “No,” she replied. This is not surprising, since the motion effectively asks BC Continued on A11

CUPE city workers have filed for an essential services deal in the event negotiations with the City of Campbell River stall. The two sides met Monday night to clarify their respective positions on a number of outstanding issues but
were unable to reach a deal. Casey Thomson, CUPE spokesperson, said since then the union has filed for a deal that could see a skeleton crew of CUPE workers still on the job in the event of a strike. “We filed for an essential services deal in case we’re unable to
get a tentative deal,” Thomson said. “We’re still optimistic we’ll reach an agreement, but just in case we don’t, we want to make sure we’re prepared.” The union voted 88.3 per cent in favour of strike action nearly four weeks ago but has yet to file its 72-hour strike notice.
CUPE presented the city with a package last week but the city did not agree to all terms. Thomson said he was waiting to hear from mediator Debbie Cameron but as of Tuesday morning, no new meetings between the city and CUPE had been scheduled. CUPE municipal workers have been on

of other sources of the problem that they’re concerned about.” I’ve argued with numerous people about this. They often start with an exaggerated claim about the World Health Organization’s risk rating. In fact, WHO acknowledges that people who
claim hypersensitivity to electromagnetic signals can’t identify them in controlled studies. WHO also notes that cell phone tower emissions are effectively five times weaker than the FM radio and TV signals to which we’ve all been exposed for decades. Cell base sta-
tions reach no more than two per cent of international limits. And smart meter signals are much weaker than that. I’m done arguing with people who make up their own facts. I’ll just address those who haven’t bought into this nonsense. Please, survey your council

“creating a business friendly environment” is the most pressing priority in the business community.
Chamber Executive Director Colleen Evans says: “More than 90 per cent of our members identified having a

business friendly environment in Campbell River that is responsive to business needs and supportive of business success as their top priority. “As well, the vast majority of our members tell us that the C h a m b e r ’s e f fo r t s supporting business retention are strongly approved as a priority and that economic investment is a priority for them” she says. “Ensuring the views of our members and the local business community are made known to government and other appropriate stakeholders and lobbying in a constructive, independent manner on behalf of our members is an important role in the Chamber’s mandate,” Evans says. “We will be taking a progressive leader-
ship role in the coming weeks to address the issues they have raised and to influence decision-makers.” Chamber members were asked to measure the level of business friendliness in the city. Here is a sample of their responses: ■ Campbell River is proactive about offering tax increment financing packages or other incentives to attract investment – 86 per cent disagreed ■ Campbell River has strong economic development strategies and a streamlined development process – 82 per cent disagreed ■ Campbell River elected municipal leaders and city staff are willing to assist with pre-permitting of development sites

As a first step in its engagement strategy the Chamber will further analyse the key issues identified in the survey and develop policy positions that will become “an advocacy platform.” Chamber Board of Directors Chair Gary Thulin says: “Through Chamber led efforts we will progressively advocate to secure a more business friendly environment for a competitive edge while balancing sustainable growth and ongoing development.” An upcoming all-candidates business forum on Oct. 26 ahead of the November civic election will be an opportunity to put these business priorities forward to all candidates.

In some cases it’s my first job and it’s helping me learn responsibility and customer service. Others that deliver our paper do it to stay fit or to contribute to their household income. We all have a common goal. We help you stay in touch with this great community. And we help local businesses thrive too. The weather isn’t always great and the hills can be steep, but I still endeavor to give you my best. I am your community newspaper carrier.

Willard Robert White
November 21st 1934 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; September 30th 2011 It is with great sadness that the family announces the peaceful passing of Willard Robert White at New Horizons Care Facility. Left to mourn his passing is Gloria, his wife of 58 years, and his children Lois White and Keith Nealoss. Willard was the loving grandfather of Penny White, Melissa White, Melody White, Erin White and Monica White; as well as great-grandfather of Virginia White â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Robinson, Sebastian Vanstone and Ariana McIntosh. He will be sadly missed by his siblings Darwin Price and Mertle Akerley as well as his special friends Don and Margarite McLean. Willard was predeceased by his parents Joe and Georgina White. Willard was born on the Skeena River within the Gispaxloâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ots Tribe traditional territory on November 21st, 1934. He is a member of the Gispudwada (Killer whale) clan of the Lax Kwâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;alaams First Nation (Port Simpson, BC). He was adopted into the Kitasoolxaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;xais First Nation (Klemtu, BC) where he met his loving wife Gloria White (nee Nealoss) of the Laxibu (Wolf) clan. They lived in the Klemtu for many years before moving to Ocean Falls for a short time, then to Campbell River in 1971.

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of JACK THOMAS WHITING on September 28, 2011 in Chilliwack, BC. He was born in Vancouver on April 17th, 1956, pre-deceased by his parents Elsie and Frank Whiting. Jack spent his childhood years in Vancouver and New Westminster and started his carpentry / lathing career in Fort McMurray & Edmonton, Alberta. After work on the oilsands projects and West Edmonton Mall he was happy to return to BC to work on the high rises in Vancouver and in Kelowna and the lower mainland. Jack enjoyed the adventure of being outside with nature and walking with God. Several years ago, he and his daughter Alicia loved caring for his grandmother in Campbell River. He will always be remembered by his sense of humour and his love and caring for family and friends. But, somehow, depression took over and he took his life.

Ming Siu 1933-2011
It is with heavy hearts that the family of Ming Siu announces the peaceful passing of Ming on September 19th at the age of 78. He was surrounded by family during his stay at the hospital. He will be sadly missed by Lina, his loving wife of 51 years. He will be fondly remembered and missed by his seven children, eleven grandchildren, two great grandchildren and extended family. A private service was held by the family. Ming was born in China and immigrated to Canada where he later met his wife Lina. In 1970 Ming and family moved to Campbell River to pursue his endeavours. His business accomplishments started with his partnership in the Rose Bowl Restaurant and continued with the Mae Mae Restaurant, Mae Mae Motel, King Lobster Restaurant, Riverfront Motel and the Mae Mae Wonton House. His charismatic nature made him many friends. Ming was a good family man who enjoyed travelling, ďŹ shing, cooking, playing cards and spending time with the young and old. We will miss his humour, honesty and laughter. The family would like to give special thanks to Dr. Douglas, the doctors and the 3rd ďŹ&#x201A;oor nurses who provided comfort to both Ming and family during this difďŹ cult time. No service by request. In lieu of ďŹ&#x201A;owers, donations to the Campbell River Hospital would be most welcome.

Tiering round an opportunity Continued from A30 Martin was pleased his squad was able to bounce back against Nanaimo, despite a quick turn around, and provided an explanation for his team’s slow start in that contest. “It’s hard for players to manufacture intensity,” he said, “They’ve got to find a way but it’s not always easy. They know the caliber of the teams they are playing against, whether it’s Nanaimo 1 or 2. The fact they played more unselfishly, moved the puck to the open man, and had a great territorial advantage were all good signs.” Martin sees the tiering round as a good opportunity to assess his team and prepare the players for bigger challenges to come. “You always learn more about your team when they lose than when they win,” he
commented, “You see how players respond to difficult situations, it exposes cracks and weaknesses in guy’s games, and also identifies areas where we, as coaches, need to focus
our energy. Right now I can see we need to be better in our own zone, particularly in terms of one-on-one play.” The Tyees tiering round record now stands at 2 and 1.
Their next game is on the road, set for Saturday, Oct 15 against the Nanaimo ‘A’ Clippers. Their next home game is Sunday, October 16 against the Cowichan Valley Capitals.
