B.C. watchdog probes local RCMP crash BRIAN KIERAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
The province’s Independent Investigations Office (IIO) continues to investigate a motorcycle crash on Evergreen Road off Dogwood early Sunday morning that involved an RCMP cruiser. The IIO’s Executive Director of Public Accountability Kellie Kilpatrick says: “Part of the team dispatched has returned to Surrey and part of the team is still in Campbell River collecting evidence including data recordings from the police vehicle.” The independent police watchdog says Mounties were trying to stop a motorcycle around 2 a.m. because the driver was allegedly not wearing a helmet. During the incident, the male motorcycle driver lost control at a high rate of speed and struck the RCMP cruiser, sustaining serious injuries. Kilpatrick says “the preliminary investigation does not suggest a pursuit” was in progress. Continued on A3

City budget already looking scary KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Council is already looking at some “daunting” numbers in its budget-planning process even though financial planning for 2013 is just getting underway.
t A Holiday Guif Just For Yo
At its first financial planning meetings Monday and Tuesday morning, council deliberated the base budget – services such as policing and fire that the city has no choice but to fund. Due to inflationary items, contractual increases, wage settle-
ments, and changes imposed on the city through legislation, council is facing a $713,600 increase in protective services. Just that figure alone, if borne solely by the residential sector, would equate to a 4.75 per cent residential tax increase for
2013, however that is a preliminary calculation as the tax rate won’t be debated until February after service levels have been adjusted. The biggest impacts to the base budget are an extra $660,335 in Continued on A5

Pennies for Presents pile up “We can do this,” Jennesa Phillips told her colleagues at work and they did. Phillips, her workmates and the customers at the A&W in Merecroft Village have raised more than $100 in two weeks for the Campbell River Mirror’s Pennies for Presents fund. Mirror staffer Marianne Graham, who organizes the newspaper’s fundraising campaign, says their generosity has pushed the fund to more than $3,700 this week. “It’s an awesome cause,” Phillips says. “So many families need this help.” As in years past, two Mirror carriers will go on a shopping spree later this month and purchase a Santasized sack of presents for kids nine to 15 years old. Those gifts will go into Campbell

Fishing vessel bursts into flames No one was injured in a boat fire at the government wharf at Discovery Harbour Monday afternoon. Campbell River Fire Chief Ian Baikie says: “Crews arrived to find a fire inside the cabin of a 60-foot fishing vessel and high winds at the time created a significant potential for the fire to spread to other vessels that were tied alongside the boat. “The first crews to arrive quickly knocked back the flames and damage to the vessel was limited to the wheelhouse and cabin.” Chief Baikie says the fire appears to be related to an oil-fired stove that was in use at the time.
Crash: Witnesses sought ALISTAIR TAYLOR/THE MIRROR
Kamryn Marks, 10, dropped off the $54 in coins she collected for the Mirror’s Pennie for Presents campaign. The annual project to contribute presents to needy families in the Campbell River area has reached more than $3,700. The presents are then given to the Knights of Columbus for inclusion in their Christmas Hampers.
River Knights of Columbus Christmas Hampers. Pennies for Presents contributors who go to the trouble of rolling their pennies prior to dropping them off get to put their names in a draw for a gift hamper.
The Knights of Columbus invest many hours of volunteer work collecting, boxing and delivering the Christmas hampers. This year’s Hamper Fund is now accepting applications. This is
the 39th year that the Community Christmas Hamper Fund has been in existence. It is anticipated that approximately 1,200 hamper applications will be processed before the Dec. 11 deadline.
Application forms are available at the Campbell River Employment and Income Assistance Office located at 833A 14th Avenue. Delivery day for the hampers will be Saturday, Dec. 22.

The IIO was notified at 2:55 a.m. Sunday and five IIO investigators were deployed. Upon their arrival, they met with the designated RCMP liaison officer and conducted preliminary investigative activities. Kilpatrick says: “We are still asking for witnesses to get in touch with us by phoning 1-855446-8477.” The Campbell River RCMP is continuing its investigation into the actions of the motorcycle driver. He remains in hospital. The IIO is a civilian-led office established to conduct criminal investigations into incidents that involve B.C. police officers and result in death or serious harm.

Budget: Change in process Continued from A1 CUPE (Canadian Union of Public Employees), the fire fighters union, and management wage and benefit increases, as well as a $448,087 increase in the RCMP contract. The base budget also includes an $88,000 reduction due to the loss of a roads foreman position as well as an extra $420,013 because the city has completed payments on the Community Centre, and an additional $14,500 in revenue generated from bylaw enforcement. With the above reductions and increases, staff have a preliminary figure of a 2.89 per cent residential tax increase, barring each of the water, sewer, storm, and parks parcel taxes all remain the same as in 2012. That would mean $1,384 in property taxes for the average home assessed at $268,000, an increase of $41 over 2012.
Coun. Andy Adams said having budget planning begin earlier than usual and having the budget process split into three different sections will help mitigate a difficult situation. “In my seven years on council this is the first time we’ve had this level of detail or opportunity before the fiscal year,” Adams said. “The numbers provided are daunting and the division of A, B, and C will do a number of things. “First, by dealing with part A now, we’re enabling staff to move forward with plans right at the get go. Any changes can take effect at the beginning of the fiscal year.” Mayor Walter Jakeway, who has been advocating for an earlier budget planning process for more than a year said having the budget formed by March will allow council to turn its attention toward other pressing issues.
“To have this process going on in December is a monumental change,” Jakeway said. “It will allow things to be calmer in 2013 and it will allow council to do other things. I can only see good things come out of this change.” Adams agreed. “I think this puts us in an excellent position to see the bigger picture,” he said while reminding his fellow councillors to think a few months down the road when making decisions. “When you take a look at the numbers before us today,” Adams said during the first budget meeting Monday morning. “Just as being the base, it’s a 2.89 per cent increase (over last year). Then when we get to part C, anything we add onto that will add a percentage increase to that amount.” Coun. Claire Moglove expressed concer n with how high the increase over last year
is before even getting into service and taxation levels, which will be part C, scheduled for February. “If it wasn’t for the fact the payments for the Community Centre are coming to an end, it would be closer to five per cent,” Moglove said. “I think it shows how difficult it is to control the budget. We’re just starting and it’s already a five per cent increase if not for Community Centre payments coming to an end.” As it stands now, city expenses for 2013 include: Administration ($1.8 million); Police ($8.4 million); Fire ($4.6 million); Corporate Services ($6.7 million); Facilities and Supply Management ($2.1 million); Operations ($11.4 million); Parks, Recreation and Culture ($5.9 million) as well as $3.8 million for water, $3.3 million in sewer costs and $2.7 million for the airport.

Father was hearing voices when he killed his son A Campbell River father, Brent Warren, was mentally ill when he killed his seven-year-old son in July 2011 defence lawyer Robert Mulligan said Monday at Warren’s first-degree murder trial in B.C. Supreme Court in Victoria. Mulligan, who pleaded not guilty on Warren’s behalf, said his 44-year-old client should be found not criminally responsible by reason of a mental disorder. Prosecutor Scott Van Alstine told the court Jonathan died after being stabbed 27 times during two attacks in the early morning of July 27. Warren wept in the prisoner’s box as he listened to evidence that included a videotaped confession. His wife, Linda, sat with her parents in the public gallery. Warren, who had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2000, had been off his medication for about six weeks leading up to the incident. A few days before he killed his son, police saw him dancing on his car. On the night of July 26, Warren gave Jonathan a kiss and went to bed. But voices in his head were telling him to kill Jonathan to save
the entire human race, Van Alstine said. In his videotaped statement hours after Jonathan’s death, Warren told the Campbell River RCMP that he struggled against the urges to kill Jonathan. Eventually, Warren got a knife from the kitchen, looked at his sleeping son, gave him a kiss and said, “Forgive me, son.” His wife was awakened by Jonathan’s screams, Van Alstine said. When she saw her husband stabbing the boy, she got between them and tried to help. When police arrived they saw blood all through the hallway, kitchen and bedroom, Van Alstine said. Warren’s feet, legs and arms were covered with blood. Jonathan was lying on his bed covered in blood while his mom performed CPR. Jonathan was taken to the hospital but pronounced dead in the ambulance. Both Warren and his wife were treated for lacerations to their hands. For the past few months, Warren has been treated at the Forensic Psychiatric Hospital near Port Coquitlam, Mulligan said.

250 local kids need your help KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
The Downtown BIA’s Angel Tree which benefits local kids needs a last minute push from the community. The tree helps kids identified by various agencies as vulnerable or at risk by making their Christmas a little bit brighter. The names of 250 kids are written on tags and are hanging on the branches of a Christmas tree set up at the Coast Discovery Inn lobby. The tags outline the child’s needs and their wants. Members of the public are encouraged to take a tag from the tree and purchase the items listed on the tag. The campaign started last Friday and ends this Sunday, Dec. 9. The problem is,

Heater ignites bed An apartment fire has prompted a warning from the Campbell River fire chief about heater safety. The fire Oct. 25 in the 600 block of Fourth Avenue was likely the result of a bed being placed too close to a heater. “The fire department’s investigation indicates that a mattress and bedding were placed in very close proximity to a baseboard heater,” says acting Fire Chief Ian Baikie. The fire caused heavy smoke damage throughout the building, destroyed all contents in one unit and temporarily displaced approximately 40 occupants in the 29-unit apartment block. “With this recent event, and in light of the fact we are now into the season when people are using heaters, the fire department would like to remind citizens that heating devices of all types, including baseboard heaters, must be kept clear of combustible materials and given enough space to allow for air circulation,” Baikie says.

Our View
Drunk drivers not clueing in The Insurance Corporation of B.C. reports that on average, 113 people died each year in impaired driving incidents between 2007-11. That is unacceptable. In fact, any number other than zero is We say: Get a unacceptable. Despite efforts from ICBC, ride, use a taxi, the provincial government, get some help, police services, the media and take a bus organizations such as Operation Red Nose, Mothers Against Drunk Drivers and Rid Roads of Impaired Drivers, some drivers remain undeterred and choose to drink and
then get behind the wheel of a motor vehicle. It’s not from a lack of trying. B.C.’s CounterAttack program is in its 35th year with the December campaign underway. The province’s tougher roadside penalties on drinking and driving are responsible for a drop in alcohol-related crashes and are estimated to have saved 104 lives since September 2010. Yet, some drivers still operate a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs, believing nothing can happen to them or that they won’t get caught. At best, they have a fender-bender with minor property damage. At worst, they kill themselves or
an innocent person. Either way, the cost is too high and it’s up to society to put a stop to it. Sadly, there was a time when impaired driving was shrugged off as just one of those things – the antics of a drunk driver laughed at. Thankfully, we’ve come a long way from that. The odds are getting better that if you drink and drive, you will get caught. Use Operation Red Nose, use a taxi, use a bus – in other words, use common sense. Too many people are dying from others making poor decisions. It could be you or it could be someone you love. – Black Press

Crisis in old age living As you all know we are getting older and living longer, but I think what most of us don’t know is there is all ready a crisis when it comes to old age homes. Unless you have $4,000-$5,000 a month to spend on an old age facility, (that’s if there is a bed available) you have to go on a long waiting list for a subsidize bed. Vancouver Island has been hit 10 times worse with this crisis as the people from the North and other provinces retire and move here for the better weather and lifestyle. It is putting a heavy burden on the system as they need to go in homes. VIHA and the government of B.C. have done very little about this situation and this is only the beginning of the Baby Boomers. It will only get worse unless we start pressuring the government to do something and it might possibly be too late now. The fast pace of Canada and the need to have both parents in a family work to make a living and try and raise a family at the same time won’t allow our children the time to look after us in our old age. There are no incentives to help us out if we choose to look after our parents in our homes and it is very hard and Continued on A9 We welcome your opinions on stories and issues published in our pages as well as issues of broader concern encountered elsewhere.

Liberals on track to pass NDP on fudge-it budgets
Tom Fletcher B.C. Views
Whatever happens in the provincial election five months from now, taxpayers should insist that it be the last spring vote. Now I know this isn’t sexy like the horse race of popularity polls so loved by the TV news. But integrity of public financial information is the next vital step in democratic reform, even more important than scheduled election dates. And the B.C. tradition of tabling untested election budgets, shutting down the legislature and firing up the campaign buses, has to end. The B.C. Liberals are on track to surpass the NDP on fudge-it budgets, having put millions into TV ads that insist the 2013 budget will struggle
into the black. This is the hill Christy Clark has chosen to die on. Glen Clark set the modern bar with his 1996 election budget. After a run of red ink, it conjured a tidy little surplus that helped the NDP squeak out a win over the plaid-shirted Gordon Campbell. Campbell’s noisy exit had its roots in his 2009 fudge-it budget, which clung to an outdated $500-million deficit forecast that had already melted down along with banks, auto makers and U.S. real estate. After the election, British Columbians found out we were really $2.8 billion in the red. Not one to waste a good crisis, Campbell ordered the harmonized sales tax.
Now Premier Clark and Finance Minister Mike de Jong are proposing to balance the budget <I>and</I> shut down the HST money machine. Clark gave a speech in Coquitlam the day before last week’s budget update, warning it “won’t be pretty.” And it’s not. In September the current-year deficit forecast jumped above $1 billion, largely due to a glut of natural gas. The latest update pushed it near $1.5 billion. Natural gas royalties are bumping along the bottom, no big change there. But now coal prices and shipments are down, and a slow real estate market has pinched the flow of cash from Bill Vander Zalm’s legacy, the property purchase tax.
I erred in a previous column, saying this year’s deficit is partly due to a staged repayment of federal HST transition money. Not so. That entire $1.6 billion was booked in last year’s budget, pushing that deficit to a record $3 billion. This means the current $1.5 billion bleeder is based strictly on current revenues, debt servicing and spending. So how is this sucking chest wound going to suddenly heal next spring? De Jong provided an early version of his answer in his September financial statement. Amazingly, it projects a recovery of more than $100 million in natural gas royalties next year. Hmmm.

Elder care: Open your eyes Continued from A8 stressful on the family when they do. There is also less help from homecare and VIHA will make it harder to qualify for your parent to get in to a home. VIHA wants to keep the elderly in their homes and provide services for them, which is fine for the people that can still look after themselves. They are leaving people that are sick and have dementia and really need 24 seven care. They are in their homes alone by themselves in danger
of falling or causing a fire or wandering away from their homes getting lost or even dying from the cold or worse. These people need the care or can’t feed themselves but refuse the help because they are proud or so demented they don’t know any better. They are not allowed to force the help on them. These people are home alone and scared and cold and don’t know when their last meal was or even their last drink of water.
If we treated our animals like we treat our elderly we would be charged for animal cruelty as fast as we could blink our eyes, but it is okay to do this to our parents, aunts and uncles and no one makes a stink about it. I know that the people that go out to the homes from homecare really care and see a lot of these abuses and can’t do anything for fear of losing their jobs if they report too much. If they do it only goes on deaf ears. This is because there is no
money no hospital beds, no beds in care homes no help for our elderly. Ask yourself do you want to die alone, scared and cold, is this right? This is what the future brings for most of us as we get old? I hope I have opened your eyes and scared the hell out of you; it’s time to make this an important issue in your life. We need to make lots of noise and get some help for these people. Tim Samuels Campbell River
Keep old hospital I totally agree with Jane Davies. By the time the shovels will actually hit the ground on our new hospital, we will have enough population to support one twice the size. Aside from the location, what really bothers me is that they are going to tear down the old hospital. Why? Is it too late to change the location and leave the old hospital as is? Joy Shuster Campbell River
Fletcher: Deficit Hill awaits premier Continued from A1 exports to Asia are still years away, and the U.S., our only current energy export customer, is developing its own huge shale gas and shale oil reserves. In another forecasted miracle, sales tax rev-
enue is expected to dip by a mere $120 million as the old provincial sales tax returns next year. In 2014 it is projected to bounce right back to where it is today, around $6.1 billion. That’s odd. When
former finance minister Kevin Falcon announced the transition back to PST last May, he described annual revenue loss of about $500 million the first year, and more than $600 million the next.
Granted, business investment credits and HST rebates to the poor also end, saving the government a pile of cash as this significant tax reform dies. But it still looks like another fudge-it budget, designed to help
another premier avoid the political graveyard at the foot of Deficit Hill. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Why December 6? December 6 is Canada’s National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. In 1989, when 14 women were shot to death in Montreal by a man deliberately targeting women on a busy campus, Canadians reacted with shock, sorrow and outrage. A strong lobby formed to bring guns under control in Canada, work that continues to this day. December 6 is the day we remember the women who died and re-commit to taking action on violence against women and girls – because Canada is not yet a safe country for women.
Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women will be commemorated on

City fails neighbours over B.C. ferries BRIAN KIERAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
The City of Campbell River is failing its neighbours when it comes to defending the integrity of coastal ferry service. That charge has been levelled by Quadra Islander Paul Ryan, chair of the Campbell River, Quadra, Cortes Ferry Advisory Committee. “We include the name Campbell River only out of courtesy because most of those guys couldn’t give a damn about this ferry,” Ryan says. “Coun. Mary Storry sat on the committee for many years, but she finally said she couldn’t do it anymore because she was too busy and there wasn’t anybody else who was interested. In the two and a half years that I have been involved on this committee the degree of attention people in Campbell River pay to this ferry system is very, very, very small. They really

don’t care.” Storry, whose council portfolio includes transportation, recalls that “council reviewed the amount of time required to attend the large amounts of committee meetings and decided not to have re presentation on them all. So I didn’t step down; we just didn’t reappoint anyone after my year was up.”
Asked about the committee Mayor Walter Jakeway says: “I didn’t know there was a committee. It doesn’t affect us.” Jakeway says he was invited to a ferry consultation meeting in Courtenay Tuesday. The issue of Campbell River’s disinterest was raised last week when Quadra Islanders met with provincial government and

ries as their issue and they should.” At the Quadra meet-
ing islanders made it clear that onerous fare increases and service
cuts will de-populate the gulf islands. Jakeway says: “I didn’t even know there was a meeting on Quadra.” Asked why Campbell River should care, Ryan says: “Because the population of Quadra Island buys their stuff in Campbell River. There’s an economic base here.” Ry a n s ay s h e ’s reduced his visits to Campbell River to once a month from once a week because the ferry fares make it unaffordable. “The escalating costs of ferry fares has made trips to town prohibitive ... you just don’t jump on the ferry anymore.”

City wants to put up 10 electric car charging stations City staff are recommending council approve the installation of up to 10 electric vehicle charging stations. The city recently secured $40,000 from the provincial Community Charging Infrastructure Fund to install charging stations throughout the community. Funding criteria requires the city to have the stations installed by March 31, 2013. Proposed locations include two at city hall, two at Tyee
Plaza, two at the Dogwood Operations Centre, two at Strathcona Gardens and two at North Island College/ Timberline Secondary School. The city partnered with the Pembina Institute to secure funding for the charging stations and to conduct an 18-member stakeholder workshop which introduced participants to electric vehicles and infrastructure requirements, said Amber Zirnhelt, the city’s sustainability manager. Zir nhelt said a Request for Proposals for the charging sta-
tions has already been issued and is being evaluated by city staff which will be able to award a contract for the project as early as this month, with installation beginning in January. Zirnhelt said the charging stations would initially be free of charge to use, but then re-assessed after five years. “Workshop stakeholders recommend initially the city not charge a fee for electric vehicle charging as the administration cost of charging would out weigh the cost for electricity use, and benefits of

And that has caused concer n for even Transport Canada. According to its website, “Transport Canada does not encourage the use of LSVs (low speed vehicles) on public roads, since they are not required to provide the same level of safety as mainstream vehicles.” But Stanley Elliott, owner of Campbell River Electric Wheels, lobbied council to approve the use of electric vehicles on city roads because of the environmental benefits. “These cars will reduce the city’s carbon footprint dramatically,” Elliott said during a council presentation in Sep-

Arts & Entertainment Give Elvis for Christmas
Send your arts and entertainment submissions to editor@campbellrivermirror.com
Randy Elvis Friskie is touring with his Las Vegas Show Band in The Real Tribute To The King of Rock and Roll – Elvis Presley. And the tour will land in Campbell River for a performance Jan. 25 at the Tidemark Theatre at 7:30 p.m. Friskie’s spine tingling perfor mance brings the King to life for an entire generation of people too young to have experienced Elvis when he was alive, and for the legions of people who remember the anticipation of every new record and movie. Randy Elvis Friskie has been referred to as “The World’s Best Elvis Tribute Act.” Visit www.tidemarktheatre.com for ticket information and to buy online.
Randy Friskie’s version of Elvis is coming to Campbell River Jan. 25.

Community Band tunes up for Yuletide For most of us, Christmas just isn’t Christmas without music. The Campbell River Community Band has spent the fall preparing a tasty menu of holiday music for an afternoon concert on Sunday, Dec. 9 “Not Just Another Christmas Concert” is for the whole family - it’s not too long, it’s in a family friendly venue, and there are tea and goodies made by band members to share at the end. The event, under the baton of founding conductor Céline Ouellette, begins at 2 p.m. in the multi purpose room at Carihi. Tickets for the concert are $5, or $12 for a family, and are available from band members or at the door. Popular Christmas fare is well represented with a medley of favourites, such as Winter Wonderland, I’ll be Home for Christmas and Have Yourself a Merry Little
Christmas. Everybody knows Jingle Bells, but they may have to listen hard to find the tune in Richard Saucedo’s exciting arrangement. The Twelve Days of Christmas gets an unusual treatment in the Lydian mode. More traditional carols make their appearance in C’est Noel, by Quebec composer André Jutras and in a haunting arrangement of Holst’s In the Bleak Midwinter by Robert W. Smith. Veni Immanuel is based on an 8th century plain chant, O Come O Come Immanuel. The arrangement by Phillip Sparke evokes a medieval cathedral. Roger Kirk on trumpet and Doug Craig on euphonium are the featured soloists in the duet Baby, it’s Cold Outside, followed by Sammy Nestico’s Good Swing Wenceslas. The concert will conclude with Leroy Anderson’s Sleigh Ride.

City gets glimpse of downtown facelift BRIAN KIERAN CAMPBELL RIVER
A people-friendly r e d eve l o p m e n t o f the St. Ann’s block downtown is “a great plan” on paper, but it has to get in line with other infrastructure demands on the city’s drawing board says Mayor Walter Jakeway. The mayor, councillors, city officials and downtown entrepreneurs got a preview of the redevelopment “vision” Monday at an urban planning open house at the Tidemark Theatre. “So far we haven’t seen a price tag,” Jakeway said. “Actually, this is our first time seeing this. It does give a good indication of the potential of downtown. It’s a great plan. I don’t think right now we can afford to do too much of it. We can probably do a small portion of it to start. It does set the future. “A lot of cities have got themselves in trouble over the years trying to force downtown development
Urban planners have sketched a people-friendly redevelopment vision for the St. Ann’s block in the downtown core.
and hopefully our city won’t have the same problem,” the mayor added. “We’ve got competing areas in our city also looking for basic services that we have to balance off before
we go too far with this. Those people are paying taxes and looking for basic services. We need as much public consultation as we can get on this.” Kevin King, urban planner with Vancou-

ver-based Dialog, said: “The city has asked us to look at a conceptual level of the public realm around the St. Ann’s. “Our approach is that the most successful scenario is treating the public realm and some of the private realm owned by Seymour Pacific Developments as a singular space. One of the big ideas is a green link from City Hall along St. Ann’s Road to Robert Osler Park. It’s about starting to pull the benefit of the waterfront park back into the city.” The concept also calls for more pedestrian space along Alder Street in front of the Scotiabank, turning Dubeau Street (the lane behind Shoppers Row) into a pedestrian boulevard and transforming parking spaces into public spaces such as farmers markets on the weekend. “The idea of continuous use of the space relies on collaboration between Seymour Pacific and the city,” King said. Scotiabank Profes-
sional Accounts Manager Keith Davidson said: “It’s going to be great for the town. It’s going to be a town centre. It’s going to tell people that people are willing to build here and move here. Psychologically people need to see construction. This is a great place to be and it’s a good time to build.”
The city’s Land Use Services Manager Ross Blackwell said the long term planning vision is to “undertake an exercise that will look at all the opportunities and assess the constraints facing the downtown core so that a comprehensive and co-ordinated approach to revitalization can be explored and imple-

mented strategically.” Blackwell said the initial planning for the St. Ann’s block has been accelerated by the Seymour Pacific project. “It’s a little earlier than would be the ideal in the world of linear planning, but we saw the opportunity and we adjusted things to suit. The bigger picture is still to come.”

CROSSWORD
The week of December 2-8, 2012
ARIES You won’t let yourself be taken advantage of this week. Making significant changes either at work or in some of your other commitments will enable you to improve your efficiency. TAURUS Your feelings take up a lot of space this week. You are compelled to clarify a complicated love story. You will unexpectedly receive some form of reward and congratulations. GEMINI You should be able to get most of your work done from home. If you have young children, one of them is going to want their favourite nurse to stay at home to look after them. CANCER Lots of comings and goings are on the horizon. Be sure to plan extra time to get to your destination, whether the journey is for work or for personal reasons.
VIRGO You show a lot of initiative in one particular project. You’ll take charge in order to ensure that people really understand the direction you wish to take. LIBRA You are suffering from some accumulated fatigue. It is important to slow down, recharge your batteries, and discover some new objectives in your life. This is particularly true if you feel that you have been neglecting your loved ones lately. SCORPIO You are sure to find yourself in very crowded surroundings. What’s more, it wouldn’t be surprising if you have to organize an event involving large numbers of people.

Over the five-week period Campbell River members lost a total of 588.8 pounds and food donations totalled over 680.8 pounds, along with a $40 donation. The fourth annual Lose for Good Campaign benefits food banks across the country. A total of 870,000 individuals visit food banks each year and Weight Watchers wanted to get involved and do its part. In Campbell River, Weight Watchers offers four meetings held at the Maritime Heritage Centre across from Discovery Pier.

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

The most common oral health problems associated with diabetes are tooth decay and periodontal (gum) disease which leads to Dr. Kevin Lathangue tooth loss. When diabetes is not controlled properly, high sugar levels in saliva may help bacteria thrive. Plaque that is not removed can eventually harden (calcify) into calculus. When calculus collects above the gumline, it cannot be removed by brushing. This can create conditions that lead to chronic inflammation and infection in the mouth. Periodontal disease often is linked to the control of diabetes. For example, patients with inadequate blood sugar control appear to develop periodontal disease more often and more severely, and they lose more teeth than do people who have good control of their diabetes. Brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning once a day between your teeth with floss and seeing your dentist regularly for an exam will help you to maintain your overall health.

Strathcona Nordics are out of the gate Last weekend under the green Olympic Rings at Whistler Park, a g roup of Strathcona Nordics racers put in a fine showing at the first race of this year’s season. Sixteen racers, ranging in age from 8 to 58-years-old, attended the Coast Cup #1 competition. The snow conditions were challenging and the course was demanding, but the team came through and brought home seven medals for the Vancouver Island cross-country ski club. Eight-year-old Naomi Swift set a fast pace and captured the first medal of the season, a gold in the Pee Wee Girls division.
Avalon Wasteneys took a gold in Juvenile Girls 2, and Morgan Meckert a bronze in Juvenile Girls 1. In the Junior Boys category, the team made a clean sweep with Jamie Wasteneys winning gold, Alec Stapff silver, and Alex Brown bronze. Ariel Becherer took the silver in the Junior Girls 2. Calder Guimond and Zander Swift put in a fine showing in the Bantam Boys category. In Midget boys racing, Ross Lamon missed a bronze by a few seconds, and Max Brown also had a fine race. Maya Swift and Madeline Guimond represented the team very well in Midget girls.
LARRY REYNOLDS/SPECIAL TO THE MIRROR
Jamie Wasteneys of Campbell River took gold in Whistler Olympic Park last weekend.
Sally Brown raced with excellent form in Juvenile girls. Alison Stocks raced well in the Masters cate gory, and the coach was impressed with Andy Brown’s performance in the ve r y c o m p e t i t ive Open Men’s category. “What a fantastic start to the year!” said Head Coach Dave Battison. “We are really looking forward to next weekend’s big race, BC Cup #1/NorAm in Vernon, where there will be racers from the National and provincial teams.” You can learn more about the Strathcona Nordics and register for winter programs on their website, www.StrathconaNordics.com

Santa comes to town The eighth annual Winterfest Parade came to town last Sunday. The parade featured Santa and the elves, Rudolph the-red-nosed reindeer, Frosty the snowman and other holiday characters. Pictured clockwise from top, the big man himself – Santa Claus – made an appearance. The Canada Post mailbox stopped in for a visit. The Holy Family, Joseph, Mary and baby Jesus paid a visit. One of the trucks and a boat from Friday’s truck parade entertained the crowd. The RCMP mascot waves to onlookers along 16th Avenue.
