Minister hears about Aquaculture Act and comments on ‘difficult’ B.C. PAUL RUDAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

With two federal cabinet ministers in the same room, Clare Backman knew the time was right to float the idea of a new Aquaculture Act. “There’s nothing that speaks of a vision for the industry,” Backman said following Monday’s meeting in Campbell River. Locally, Backman is the Sustainability Programs Director for Marine Harvest Canada, and nationally he’s president of the Canadian Aquaculture Industry Alliance. During Monday’s visit by MP James Moore, Minister responsible for B.C., Heritage and Languages, and North Island MP John Duncan, Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development, Backman joined the roundtable discussion with other local industry leaders. Backman had already informed the federal government of the Alliance proposal to create an Aquaculture Act, but the visit provided another opportunity to pitch the idea. “It has been received positively…but there’s been no public acknowledgement just yet,” he said. Backman works for a company that raises Atlantic salmon, but he noted the Act would encompass shellfish and other fish species. “This would be national and it’s not just salmon,” he said.

Kimberly Dorrington and her German shepherd Yanik enjoy some bonding time in the rain. Dorrington, a professional dog trainer, wants to open a doggy daycare in Campbell River but a decision made by council Tuesday night would force her to open the facility outside of the city.

On the West Coast, Campbell River and the North Island is the hub for salmon and shellfish farms, but production has been “stagnant for almost a decade,” said Backman. Governmental red tape and cross-jurisdictions between ministries make it difficult for industry to expand, and an Aquaculture Act would provide a guiding document for all to follow. Minister Moore liked the idea and said other countries have legislation in place that directly deals with aquaculture. However, he offered no firm support as this was a day for public relations and to hear concerns from local business leaders. The meeting, held prior to Moore speaking at the chamber of commerce luncheon, included representatives from forestry companies, mining, tourism, and local First Nations. The ministers heard about the need for more skilled workers, more support for salmon enhancement in order to attract more angling tourists as well as a co-ordinated marketing plan for B.C. tourism, and the need to streamline the environmental assessment process. Currently, provincial and federal governments each has its own assessment processes and Moore noted that in order to harmonize the process, “you have to have a willing provincial government,” he said, adding that B.C. has always been the “most difficult” province to deal with.

Council quashes couple’s doggy daycare dreams KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Kimberly Dorrington has spent more than a month trying to get city council to allow her to run a doggy daycare where she can let the dogs outside to play. On Tuesday night council not only didn’t relax the rules, it shut down her plans entirely. Dorrington paid the city $2,800 to try and change three city zonings to allow pet services, in Dorrington’s case a doggy daycare. Now she has nothing to show for it because the fee is nonrefundable and council defeated the bylaw amendment that would have allowed her to run a doggy daycare within the city limits. “I have spent $2,800 on this and I am not going to walk away from it,” Dorrington said. “I don’t understand...as to why I had to pay $2,800 to add a definition to the city’s zoning that benefits other people opening pet-related Continued on A3

Bylaw called too stringent Continued from A1 businesses, not just myself.” That definition is pet services which is currently only allowed in rural zonings, outside the city limits. Dorrington said they are “way” out of town, north of Duncan Bay Road and south of York Road. Dorrington, a professional dog trainer, was seeking to have pet services included as an accepted use in Industrial, Commercial Two (C-2) and Commercial Four (C-4) zonings. Council didn’t think that was appropriate and was concerned a doggy daycare could be disruptive to already established commercial businesses. “In a business like this it’s preferable that the dogs be able to go outside for a period of time,” Moglove said. “Therein lies the problem. It’s not appropriate, in my view, for C-2 and C-4. I’m thinking to myself, I’m sitting in the Sundance Java Cafe in Willow Point on the South Island Highway and there’s

10 or 15 dogs next door at an indoor doggy daycare. The dogs should be allowed outside but they’re not compatible so I can’t support the amendment. I understand the dilemma of the proponents but we have to take the interests of the entire community as well.” The dilemma is that city staff worded the bylaw in such a way that any doggy daycare in either the Commercial-Two or Commercial-Four zones would have to be primarily indoors, meaning the dogs could only be outside for a limited amount of time, to go to the bathroom or to be taken out for a walk. Industrial was the only zone that would have allowed the dogs to be outdoors for up to three hours each day. Dorrington had been trying to fight that restriction in the commercial zones since December and had the support of Coun. Larry Samson, who reiterated Tuesday that the dogs shouldn’t be cooped up. “I’m still opposed to

the bylaw,” Samson said. “It’s too stringent. One of the things I look at is pets in a household. “We have no bylaw that says how many pets you can have in a household. You can have 10 dogs in a residential area yet we’re trying to restrict a business.” Ross Blackwell, the city’s land use manager, said a business applicant can apply for a variance permit to the zoning to allow for extended outdoor use, and could ask for a board variance which he said is “substantially” cheaper than applying for a development variance. However, that became a moot point minutes later when council rejected the pet serv i c e s by l aw c o m pletely, striking down adding pet services as an accepted use in Commercial-Two, Commercial-Four and Industrial. Coun. Mary Storry didn’t think the bylaw was what Dorrington was looking for. “The changing in this

bylaw I don’t believe would satisfy that need the proponent would have,” Storry said. “That ‘primarily’ within an enclosed building would have to be problematic and I’m wondering why the spot zoning wasn’t looked at by the proponent as an option.” Blackwell said that while he couldn’ t speak for Dorrington, it was something that was considered. “That’s something staff did discuss with the proponent and the proponent felt it was overly restrictive, but again I would also point out there are already currently three zones that do exist in the community that allow pet services without any amendment at all,” Blackwell said. Moglove said she felt spot zoning was the best route for Dorrington and voted in opposition to the bylaw amendment. Councillors Ryan Mennie and Storry, as well as Mayor Walter Jakeway were also opposed, and the motion was defeated.

Winter Driving Awareness Don’t Be A Statistic… Drive Smart!

PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ THIS VALUABLE 7x14 INFORMATION ABOUT HIGHWAY DRIVING AND HOW YOU’RE AFFECTED BY WINTER CONDITIONS… Every year the Àrst major snowfall of the year catches the driving public by surprise, even though we all know it’s coming sooner or later. The impact is even more severe when it hits during the day at high trafÀc times. It seems to take a scare or even an accident for drivers to realize that you have to adjust your driving habits quickly when the Àrst snowfall hits. Not only do you have to adjust your own driving habits, you have to be aware of others on the road who may or may not be totally tuned in to winter driving. Emcon Services, the RCMP, Highway Patrol, Ministry of Transportation, ICBC, BC Trucking Association, and many others work closely throughout the year to make our highways safer. Be a part of the solution, not the problem… drive smart!

24 Hour Highway Maintenance… We’re ready for Mother Nature! The management and crews at Emcon Services have the equipment and sanding stockpiles ready as well as a 24-hour maintenance plan in place. Money has been invested in sodium chloride producing equipment and staff has been trained to best utilize it to keep our highways cleared, anti-iced, sanded, and as safe as possible. We need your help…snow plowing, sanding,, salting equipment, and crews can’t be everywhere at once even though we’d like to be. Be patient. We’ll get there. When it’s not safe, plowing priorities are based on the trafÀc volumes of the roads. High volume roads such as the Inland Island Highway, Highway 19A, and commuter roads receive priority. Secondary roads such as bus routes and connector roads are next. Subdivisions, cul-de-sacs, and dead-end roads are the lowest priority.

EMCON

SPEED KILLS! Slow down when highway conditions dictate. Posted limits are meant for normal driving conditions. Sensible consideration has to be given to snow accumulation, visibility, and black ice warnings when you’re driving on the highway. Many accidents and deaths can be avoided if drivers use common sense and slow their speed down to suit the winter driving conditions…be safe, drive smart!

Snowtires, Chains or All-Season? The Motor Vehicles Act requires that all vehicles “use winter tires or carry chains”. Winter tires can be identiÀed only by this logo. All-Season tires do not have the same traction or stopping abilities as true winter tires. If you insist on using All-season tires, be prepared by carrying a set of properly Àtted cable chains for your vehicle and practice putting them on before you need them!

Sport Utility Vehicles & 4x4s Still Have To Stop Like Everyone Else Sport utilities and 4X4s are great vehicles and you do have much better traction when accelerating. The warning is simple. Don’t be lulled into a false sense of security. Road conditions and visibility may make it necessary to stop quickly… SUVs and 4X4s can’t stop any faster than a regular two-wheel drive vehicle on snowy and icy roads. Be safe. Drive smart!

Island Division Cumberland 250-336-8897

Justin Burgers Operations Manager Emcon Services Shift gears into winter driving mode! That means slow down and maintain a safe stopping distance. Expect turning, stopping and accelerating to all be affected by wet and slippery conditions. Accelerate, brake slowly and avoid sharp movement of the steering wheel in order to maintain control of your vehicle. Our crews are putting salt and sand on the roads to improve the road during winter conditions. When you follow us, slow down and maintain a safe distance behind us. When meeting us, move toward the fog line in your lane to give us room to plow and apply materials. Never try to drive through the snow coming off of the snowplow. Park your vehicle off of the road to allow us to safely plow your road out. Check for current conditions at www.drivebc.ca. or call the automated phone service at 1 800 550-HWYS. Enjoy your winter driving season

Sgt. Mark Whitworth RCMP North Island TrafÀc Services Every crash resulting in injury is tragic and adding to this is the fact that most, if not all crashes are avoidable. Winter driving conditions and the failure of drivers to slow down, not just to the speed limit, but well below when conditions dictate, is the main cause of many serious and fatal crashes. Failing to wear your seatbelt, if you are involved in a crash leads to a considerably greater risk of injury or death. Drivers need to ensure their vehicle has good winter tires rated for the conditions seen on the north island and prepare for emergencies by carrying adequate clothing and supplies and notifying others of their travel plans. Remember, no matter what excuse you use to justify your need to speed or drive in a dangerous manner, the few minutes you may save is never worth the potentially devastating and unplanned tragic consequences. Slow down and be patient.

Bob O’Brien

Area Operations Manager Ministry of Transportation Winter weather conditions certainly can add to the stress of driving during this time of year, planning and preparations are key. A few guidelines for safe winter driving include: - Winterizing your vehicle - Driving with headlights on - Allowing plenty of room to start and stop when driving on snow or ice - Maintaining a safe distance between your vehicle and others - Allowing for additional time to arrive at your destination - Keeping some emergency items in your car at all times - Remembering that conditions can change quickly For additional winter safe driving information refer to the Ministry of Transportation web site at: www.th.gov.bc.ca, then click on “Highway Travellers”.

Residents’ request to abandon the city rejected KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A McIvor Lake Road resident says he’s not surprised council denied a request to remove his and seven other properties out of the city boundary. Aref Tabarsi, who lives by the lake, said the city can’t afford to lose him. “I can tell you that I’m not surprised with that decision because we pay a significant amount of tax to them (the city),” Tabarsi said. “Why would they want us excluded? It was totally expected. I sort of already knew that would be the answer.” Ron Neufeld, the city’s general manager of operations, said the eight properties combined bring in $33,000 in taxation revenues but Tabarsi said it’s more than that. Tabarsi said that according to last year’s property tax, Neufeld’s “claim of $33,000 is far (more than 100 per cent) from the truth.

Suffice to say that my property tax alone is almost $14,000.” Council voted to deny removing the McIvor Lake Road properties from the city boundary Tuesday night, following advice from Neufeld. He said the city would be less likely to improve McIvor Lake Road, the catalyst for the residents’ complaints, if there were no city residents in the area. The three-kilometre long road that circles McIvor Lake is paved for the first 2.5 kilometres off Highway 28 and the last 500 metres is gravel. Tabarsi and his neighbours want out of the city because they say the city is collecting a significant amount of tax from them, but not providing a basic, drivable road. The residents are instead lobbying to become a part of the Strathcona Regional District, where the mill rate is lower. Tabarsi said McIvor Lake residents are paying the city tax mill

rate as if the owner has the choice to use sewer and garbage services (which the residents do not receive and are not charged for) and not take advantage of it. Neufeld, in a report to council, said the challenge is that the city cannot directly control the bottom line of a person’s property tax, no matter what services they do or do not receive. “The concern about property tax levels is a common criticism of the property taxation model,” Neufeld said. “The challenge is that property taxes levied are based solely on the value of the property with no correlation to the level of service pro-

vided or to the property owner’s ability to pay.” Coun. Claire Moglove thanked Neufeld for a “comprehensive” report and for drawing attention to a serious issue. “It not only addresses the specific issue of the residents on McIvor Lake Road, and I don’t dispute that’s an issue, but it highlights what I think is probably the most important issue facing local gover nments and that is finances and how municipalities or local governments are able to raise funds,” Moglove said. “We are so limited in our tools, i.e. property taxation and user fees, that it

has become an issue where it is completely unfair, unequitable, unsustainable and needs significant revision.” Coun. Andy Adams tried to come up with a compromise for the residents, and put a motion forward to pave the road, with the benefiting residents paying 70 per cent of the cost and the city contributing 30 per cent. Years ago the council of the day rejected an agreement that would have seen the city pay 75 per cent of the costs and the city pay 25 per cent. The full cost is estimated to be between $70,000 to $80,000. “There’s a financial benefit and an opera-

project should be brought to council by that local area,” Storry said. “If they would like us to consider a local service area then they should require it of council.” Adams’ motion to split the cost of paving the road was defeated, with councillors Kerr, Moglove, Storry and Ryan Mennie opposed. Tabarsi, who was notified by the Mirror of council’s decision, said it was too soon to know what the next steps are. He said he would talk with his neighbours and they may consider peacefully negotiating with the city or take the case to Supreme Court.

A downtown public aquarium will be established at the fishing pier, following an endorsement from council. Working with city staff, the Discovery Passage SeaLife Society recently chose to set up the aquarium in the grassy area adjacent to the northern ramp at the fishing pier, which council supported Tuesday night. David Morris, the city’s general manager of facilities and supply management, said the city sees no problems with the society’s decision.

“This does indeed appear to be a very good site,” Morris said. “From the city’s perspective...it would not negatively impact on the existing facilities, in fact it would be an enhancement.” Coun. Andy Adams said the aquarium, which was purchased from Ucluelet with the help of the Noon Hour Rotary Club, will make a great addition to the Pier Street area. “I would certainly concur that this will be a welcome enhancement to our marine foreshore and Maritime Heritage and pier area,” Adams said.

Holly Hills residents are being flooded out chased in November 2011, is situated near the base of hilly Park Road, on Ida Road. The farm is bordered by Park Road on one side and Woodburn Road on the other. Water from the Holly Hills subdivision flows down through a culvert on Park Road and drains into a 10-foot wide creek on Denne’s f a r m wh i c h c u t s through her property. It’s supposed to flow through to the ditch on Woodburn Road, but the ditch is clogged and the water isn’t moving. Instead, it’s sitting on Denne’s property, and flooding her land. “Holly Hill Farm is being washed away,” Denne said. “This inhibits the growth of our pasture grasses (and) our 50-year-

Holly Hills residents told council Tuesday night they are struggling to stay above water and pleaded with city officials to fix drainage problems in the area. Katie Denne, a young farmer trying to save her family farm from flooding, appeared before council looking for answers as to why her property is the sponge for the entire Holly Hills neighbourhood. “We’ve been witnessing acres upon acres of our family farm disappearing,” Denne said. “My question is ‘why?’ Why must Holly Hill Farm be a sponge?” Denne’s 16.2 acre property, which she and husband Kyle pur-

City staff told council that during budget planning next week it will be submitting a $150,000 capital project to widen and deepen the ditches on Woodburn Road, starting this summer if approved. Coun. Claire Moglove asked if it would include a re-routing and installation of storm drains or if it would be mostly maintenance. Ron Neufeld, the city’s general manager of operations, said it would be the bare minimum. “Basically a maintenance exercise – the ditches cleaned and the culverts cleaned,” he said.

Our View

Mental illness costs sizeable The scaling back of mental patient facilities at Riverview in Vancouver and, to a certain degree, Eric Martin Pavilion in Victoria decades ago, offered hope for hundreds of people who were previously expected to live out We say: Needs to their lives away from the public eye. When we hear of cases where be an alternative individuals battling mental illness to prison or are involved in serious attacks on others and even murder, we wonder, hospitalization even if only for a few moments, whether such an experiment has proven successful. The cases of the young Sooke man charged with

murdering his mother, after numerous previous incidents of violence; and the Victoria man on trial for stabbing an innocent boy at a bus stop, after seeing in the boy’s face someone he believed was in a gang that was trying to kill him, are examples of people falling through the cracks. We don’t advocate a return to the days of institutionalizing people with mental disabilities simply because they can’t function at a high enough level to live on their own. But for people who demonstrate their inability to function safely in society in relation to others, there needs to be an alternative to being hospitalized or being locked up

in prison. That option needs to be available early for families who can no longer care for the person, often due to the fact that the individual is an adult. The long-term effects and costs, both financial and human, of removing the institutional option from our health-care system surely outweigh the cost of operating such facilities for those who need it. Whether there will ever be the political will to change the system, to create a broader spectrum of care for those battling mental illness, remains to be seen. We hope the province looks seriously at this option to give everyone a chance at a healthier life. – Black Press

Toxic waste disposal issue must be addressed A recent visit to a hardware store surprised me with the number of good old incandescent light bulbs on their shelves. I thought the federal government required they be phased out by the end of last year, forcing us all to use the much more energy-efficient compact fluorescent lights (CFLs)? I didn’t think much about it as I stocked up. Then I read that, due to consumer concerns, the ban on incandescents has been put over until Jan. 1 of next year when 75- and 100-watters will be off the market, followed by 40- and 60-watt bulbs by Dec. 31, 2014. Obviously then, there’s still lots of time to pick up a few of the

“old” bulbs before they are consigned to history. A few years ago I wrote about installing CFLs in my house, and the financial gains achieved on my hydro bill. A lot of them still light parts of my house, though recently I noticed the CFL in one of my garage door openers worked only intermittently. Upon removing the offending ‘pig-tail,’ I noted a tiny burn mark where it connects to the energy source. The very large ceramic base on the CFL is too big for the fixture, and thus even when screwed in as tightly as possible, it either barely touched the electrical connection, or in fact was powered

And that, I understand, may soon come to an end as new importation bans south of the border will prevent us from exporting our toxic mercury waste. Perhaps while it is requiring all of us to get our houses in order, lighting-wise, the federal government gets it own in order relating to effective safe recycling of mercury. It is a recognized toxin, with severe health implications. Mark Rushton is a reporter with Black Press. markrushton@ abbynews.com

Bad decisions Stop this nonsense

Continued from A8

North Campbell River what happened when they joined the city and they didn’t get sewers for at least 10 years. Now, let’s talk about snow removal. Area D’s roads are sanded and ploughed by the Ministry of Transportation and we receive excellent service in this regard. If we had to rely on Campbell River to assist us in the winter, we’d probably be last on their list. As I understand it, in Campbell River, garbage pick-up and recycling are mandatory. They are paid for through taxes. In Area D we have a choice. My household has very little garbage because we do our own recycling and composting and it only costs us $20 per year for garbage. In my opinion, Campbell River councils, past and present, have made some bad decisions. For example, they agreed to spend $12 million of taxpayers’ money to relocate our drinking water source. BC Hydro should be paying for this, as this is required for their dam upgrade. Building a section of 19A where a vehicle cannot pull over to let the fire truck get through faster – how could an engineer and council make such a stupid mistake? Then the half-million or so for the roof garden on city hall. The Spirit Square looks like an unfinished construction site. Also, they supported building a cruise ship dock for $3 million which has no ships. Handing our several thousand dollars per year to Rivercorp for what? What have they done to improve the local economy? This is all a waste of taxpayers’ money and just a few of the reasons I do not want to join Campbell River. Les York Area D

Filed for publication with the Mirror Dear Members of the ComoxStrathcona Regional Hospital Board, Re: The proposed new hospitals for Campbell River and the Comox Valley The time has come for this board to put an immediate stop now to the nonsense being perpetrated against the taxpayers and residents of North Vancouver Island in this double-barrelled proposal as it currently stands, and to the disgraceful disservice that will be done to your constituents if it proceeds as currently planned and outlined. Not to do that now, while the iron is still hot and the $3 million business plan still being developed, will rightly be seen in future as a major dereliction of duty to local taxpayers and constituents. Neither the medical nor nursing staffs of the current health care facilities in either areas, nor the councils or residents of the region are being adequately informed or properly consulted about the two service plans.

Sadly, numerous studies have shown that P3s cost much more and don’t work justly and well with public-health programs.

SPCA relinquishes animal control function “ KRISTEN DOUGLAS

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The SPCA will no longer be in charge of animal control in Campbell River, effective this spring. In a bid to lower its costs, city council voted Tuesday night to contract out the service to a private company, Coastal Animal Control Services, which will be in charge of nuisance complaints and public safety concerns. The SPCA has held both the city’s animal control and animal shelter services for more than 25 years but the contract expired last year and since then the SPCA has operated on three and six month contract extensions. City staff agreed that changes were needed, specifically weekend and evening patrols and service to First

Nations reserves, and issued a request for proposals in October. Coastal Animal Patrol provided the city with a quote of $105,000 per year for the service, which includes evening and weekend patrols and an option to extend the service to First Nations lands, while the SPCA came back with a cost of $218,578 per year. Peter Wipper, city clerk, said in his report to council that “there is no question that Coastal Animal Control Services would provide the best value to the city.”

Council agreed but discussions are still ongoing with what to do with the SPCA. Wipper said that if the SPCA were to move out of the animal shelter, which is owned by the city, and Coastal Animal Control moved in and took over both animal control and shelter services, the city could cut costs by $40,000 each year. Wipper said if that were to happen, the SPCA would likely not be able to afford to operate. “A compromise to address this issue would be to award the animal control contract to Coastal Animal Control and allow the SPCA to remain operating out of its current location while retaining the animal shelter contract,” Wipper said. “The new cost for 2013 would be based on Coastal Animal Shel-

Question: What can be done for crooked front teeth?

Answer: There are several ways to address

crooked front teeth, but it depends on the degree of crowding. Severe crowding is often best treated with orthodontics (braces) to straighten the teeth. Moderate to mild crowding can also be treated with Invisalign, which utilizes clear trays that are custom made and move teeth gradually and gently. This can Dr. Joseph Schafermeyer be done at your family dental office. Another way to change the appearance of teeth is with composites. These are tooth-coloured resin fillings that are bonded to repair decayed, chipped, fractured, or discoloured teeth. They can also be used to close spaces between teeth, make teeth look longer, or change the shape or colour of teeth. They usually last several years, depend on how much bonding was done and oral/biting habits. Other options include porcelain veneers and crowns. These are thin layers of porcelain that are placed and bonded to prepared teeth. They can be used in situations where one wishes to change the shape, colour, or overall appearance of his or her teeth. They are very lifelike and can last for many years with proper care. In order to find out which treatment would work best for you, please speak to your dentist, or call us for an exam or free Invisilign consultation.

ter receiving $105,000 per year and the SPCA receiving a negotiated amount to run the animal shelter.” Which is what council agreed to on Tuesday night. “I just want to make clear to the public, this is obviously dealing with a service that is currently supplied by the SPCA, at least a portion is supplied by the SPCA,” Mayor Walter Jakeway said. “The city is still discussing with the SPCA their role in looking after

animals in our city. “This is not knocking the SPCA out of the picture, it’s just changing the business and what they’re working on. The public doesn’t need to be worried, the SPCA will probably still be there when this is all finished,” Jakeway said. “But there’s been lots of discussion on this in the last several months and there will probably be some more in the next few weeks.” As it stands now, the SPCA will still

continue to care for the dogs and cats that come into the shelter and also house any animals impounded by Coastal Animal Control Services. The private company is expected to take over the reins of animal control as early as April 1. Once that happens, residents will need to call a new number to report animal complaints. The timing could be better, as the city just purchased stickers with the SPCA’s violation hotline number

on park bylaw signs in July. Coastal Animal Control currently provides animal control services in Nanaimo, Nor th Cowichan, Ladysmith, Duncan, Lake Cowichan and the Alberni Clayquot Regional District. A survey of 11 municipalities and regional d i s t r i c t s reve a l e d Campbell River was the only local government using the SPCA for animal control; the others used municipal or private contractors.

If there was any possible way I could forget that RRSP season is upon us again, a survey that landed on my Andy Leitch desk last week reminded me4x10 Investment & Insurance Advisor once again of the collective angst many of us experience Independent Wealth Management 1631 Island Highway in the ﬁrst two months of aleitch@mackiesearch.com every year. www.mackiereasearch.com

A Bank of Montreal study reveals that 60 per cent of participating Canadians feel anxious about finding the money to contribute to their RRSPs as the 2012 deadline approaches. The primary reason for this anxiety is that almost half of the respondents are looking for ways to scrape together a lump sum contribution before the deadline. Larry Moser, regional sales director of SMO in Ottawa says that anxiety about MACKIE mailing lump sum RRSP contributions can be minimized by making regular payments throughout the year. This cornerstone of investment philosophy was popularized by David Chilton, the author of The Wealthy Barber. Related: The Wealthy Barber’s key to success It means that before you pay bills, or buy your groceries, before you do anything else, set aside a portion of your income to save. The first bill you pay each month should be to yourself. Decide on the amount and then set up automatic withdrawal. On “Get rich slowly” Blogger J.D. Roth gives three great reasons why paying yourself first makes sense. 1. You are making savings a priority. You are telling yourself that your future is just as important as all of the current expenses you are responsible for, 2. You are developing sound habits. Most people spend money in the following order: bills, fun, savings. By putting savings first, you put the money aside before you find reasons to spend it. 3. You are building a cash buffer. Regular cash contributions are an excellent way to build a retirement nest egg. You can also allocate a portion of your savings for an emergency fund or to purchase a home. Paying yourself first gives you the freedom to choose. You can even use the tax system to “Pay yourself first” and get a raise. If you are saving regularly in a registered retirement savings plan, you can complete a T1213 form and request permission for your employer to deduct a lower amount of taxes at source. By reducing your withholdings at source, you are paying yourself and not the Canada Revenue Agency first and increasing your net take home pay. You are effectively giving yourself a raise all year long, not just once at tax time. Article: from Moneyville.ca

Problem alcoholic jailed again

Drive Smart BC Stopping Behind 2X14 Other Trafﬁc I have noticed many drivers stopping at a red light several feet behind the car in front. Having asked my daughters who had recently passed their driving exams about this and both told me that their instructor had told them, even when stopped, they must leave TYEE CHEV at least one car length distance behind the car in front. Is it really true that our young drivers are taught to stop several feet behind the car, also stopped, in front? I wasn’t taught to drive nearly so recently, but this is the practice that I had to follow as well. When I came to a stop if I could not see pavement between the front edge of my hood and the bottoms of the tires of the vehicle in front of me I received a black mark from my instructor. This space is a safety cushion and all drivers should make it a habit. The cushion serves three purposes: it allows you to pass the vehicle in front, you will not be pushed into the vehicle in front if you are hit from behind and you are not as likely to be hit if the vehicle in front of you rolls backward or the driver backs up without looking. When my daughter was learning to drive with a standard transmission, I had to exit the car and ask the driver behind to either back up and either wait or drive around. She had stopped quite close to our back bumper at a stop sign and we were worried about rolling back. The “L” sign on the rear of the vehicle might be a clue that the driver needs even more space than usual. The author is a retired constable with many years of trafﬁc law enforcement experience.

Judge urges young man to seek residential treatment PAUL RUDAN

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Just 21 years old, Colin James Drake is a chronic alcoholic who’s accumulated 27 convictions for breaching court orders. In the eyes of the Crown, Drake is a public nuisance who deserves longer periods of incarceration. Another view is the one offered by Drake’s defence counsel who said the First Nations man needs help, but is caught in the revolving door of the criminal justice system. “Locking him up for longer and longer periods because he’s an alcoholic is not the answer,” said lawyer

Dale Melville, on Monday in Campbell River provincial court. Last November, following his 25th conviction for breach of a court order, the court acknowledged Drake’s addiction to alcohol. According to prosecutor David Fitzsimmons, the terms of Drake’s probation allowed him to drink within the confines of his home, but not in any public place. Shortly before midnight on New Year’s Eve, Campbell River RCMP were called to a downtown disturbance involving four males near JJ’s Pub. When officers arrived they found Drake intoxicated.

Bail is set at $10,000 for a man accused of breaking into the hospital thrift store,

he said, adding that Drake has Grade 7 education and lives off of social assistances. “He should be given the opportunity to change.” Melville added that Drake has been to some treatment programs, but has not been successful. Judge Thomas Dohm asked if Drake planned to enter residential treatment following his release from jail, but Melville didn’t know. In the end, Judge Dohm sentenced Drake to serve 60 more days in jail, because he had little alternative. “I like that as much as you do,” the judge said, adding that Drake should spend his incarceration trying to find a publicly-funded substance abuse treatment program.

court which are troubling,” said Judge Thomas Dohm. As of Thursday, Darren Mould, 20, remains in custody in Victoria. On Monday, he appeared by video in Campbell River provincial court where Crown prosecutor David Fitzsimmons asked the judge to revoke Mould’s original bail. Mould was first arrested Aug. 25, 2012, during an investigation of a break-in and theft of costume jewelry from the Campbell River Hospital Thrift Store. The investigation led to the nearby hospital emergency room where Mould was found. He

claimed he was stabbed by some men who had jumped him. H o w e ve r, M o u l d was arrested after he appeared to match the description of the man seen on the thrift store’s surveillance video and costume jewelry was found in his coat. On Dec. 28, police were out looking for Mould after he allegedly bit and tried to strangle a woman before fleeing the scene. A police dog led officers to a home on 7th Avenue, but the resident who answered the door claimed Mould was not there. However, when told a police dog had tracked the scent

to his door, Mould suddenly appeared and was arrested. He had been drinking sherry and denied assaulting the woman. “I didn’t assault anyone. Show me the knuckle marks on her face,” he told police. Mould has been in custody since then. Judge Dohm issued a new bail order requiring a $2,500 cash deposit, along with a $7,500 surety, but so far Mould has not perfected bail. He is charged with assault, break and enter, theft, possession of stolen property, driving while prohibted, and three counts of breaching a court order.

police custody. Since then he’s been “residing” at the Vancouver Island Regional Correctional Centre in Victoria. On Monday, Drake appeared by video in provincial court and pleaded guilty to his 26th and 27th convictions for breach. Fitzsimmons asked the judge to impose a 6-12 month jail sentence. “ M r. D r a ke h a s received a great number of jail sentences (but they are) not a great deterrent…at a certain point, the community needs protection,” he said. But Melville said that locking Drake up for extended periods won’t address his problems. “This is setting up a 21-year-old aboriginal offender for more and longer jail sentences,”

He was arrested for breach and taken to the RCMP detachment where he was combative and tried to fight with one of the officers. Drake was released the next day, but the new year offered little change. At 3:18 p.m. on Jan. 11, police were called to Nunns Creek Park where a man was passed out, with his pants down, lying by the children’s playground. It was Drake. He was “grossly intoxicated,” couldn’t even communicate, and shaking due to the cold. Police used “pain stimulation” to rouse him. Drake was taken by ambulance to Campbell River Hospital for treatment and then released back into

Successfully fend off workplace fatigue

Healthy Weight Week January 23-28… So what is a healthy weight? In January we often find ourselves making New Year’s resolutions and commitments to improving or altering our life in some way. One of the big resolutions is losing weight or becoming more physically fit. As we read the healthy living section in the local book store or online, we come across many different opinions about the key question surrounding weight loss and physical fitness: what is a healthy weight? To condense the words of fitness and diet experts worldwide, your healthy weight is achieved when you feel like your strongest, best self – both mentally and physically. To coincide with our New Year’s resolutions, Healthy Weight Week was created to raise awareness and inform you, the public, of what a healthy weight is and to celebrate healthy lifestyles.

During the week of January 23–28, we encourage community members to improve their health by eating well, living actively and building body esteem. When you’re active and eating a properly balanced diet, your body has a reduced risk of injury or serious health problems, which only improves as you maintain your healthy weight. For most people, body mass index (BMI) and waist size are good ways to tell if you are at a healthy weight. Why pay attention to your weight? Staying at a healthy weight is one of the best things you can do for your health. It can help prevent serious health problems, including: heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, and sleep apnea. To honour Healthy Weight Week and your commitment to a healthier you, we invite you to celebrate and weigh in...

atigue can prove a formidable foe to anyone. Exercise enthusiasts and couch potatoes alike periodically can suffer from fatigue, which can affect performance at work and one’s relationships with friends and family. Fatigue can be temporary or chronic, and while quick ﬁxes like an energy drink might work for a little while, such solutions may only mask fatigue for a brief period before it returns once the stimulant wears off. Many times fending off fatigue involves making some lifestyle changes that can boost your energy over the long haul and make fatigue a distant memory.

failing to take breaks throughout the day will likely exasperate any feelings of fatigue. That’s because taking periodic breaks throughout the workday has been proven to be very effective at combating fatigue. A study conducted at Louisiana State University compared a trio of different work schedules for workers who used a computer. Those who took brief, frequent breaks were better at ﬁghting fatigue and more productive at work than those who did not. A short break of 5 to 10 minutes can be enough to provide an immediate energy boost and fend off feelings of b fatigue. fa

Eat breakfast no matter what. According to a study published in the International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition, a highfiber, high-carbohydrate breakfast can increase alertness between breakfast and lunch, a period of time during which many professionals begin to feel fatigue settling in. Whole-wheat toast or a bowl of highfiber cereal can pack an energetic punch that lasts all the way to lunchtime. Choose high-energy snacks. One of the problems many people have when dealing with fatigue is how they choose to combat their feelings of sluggishness. Eating a candy bar from the office snack machine might seem like the ideal energy booster, but a sugar boost does not last very long. Chances are your feelings of fatigue will return sooner rather than later.

Hit H the road, Jack. Another way w to effectively fight fatigue is to get walking. A decades-old study conducted by a researcher s at a California State University, Long Beach, found that walking L briskly for 10 minutes provides b people with more energy than p eating a candy bar. Though e the th candy bar led to an initial energy boost, that boost died e down within an hour, whereas d the th boost provided by a brisk walk w increased energy levels for roughly two hours. Get up and ro walk around the office or take w a brisk walk around the block or o the parking lot of your office complex. You’ll come back to c your desk refreshed and ready y to resume your workday.

Health Benefits of a GlutenFree and Wheat-Free Diet ith the recent increase in people being diagnosed with celiac disease and gluten sensitivity, the idea of a gluten-free diet has been researched by physicians from all sides of the nutritional spectrum, including weight loss specialists, bariatric physicians and dietitians. Gluten is a protein found in foods processed from wheat and related grain species, including barley and rye. Gluten gives elasticity to dough, helping it rise and keep its shape and often gives the final product a chewy texture. Gluten may also be found in some cosmetics, hair products and other dermatological preparations. A gluten-free diet can have a variety of health benefits not only to those who suffer from celiac or other wheat sensitivities. Benefits such as improving cholesterol levels, promoting digestive health and increasing energy levels can all come from eliminating gluten. Many foods that are processed and available for purchase, contain a lot of gluten, which essentially is unhealthy for you. Overly-

processed foods are unhealthy because they contain chemicals and artiﬁcial ﬂavours. On a gluten-free diet, you would likely eat more fruits and vegetables, just because they are several food sources that are nonstarchy and almost completely gluten-free. By eating only gluten-free foods, you will also be eliminating unhealthy oils from your diet, as well as unhealthy carbohydrates found in bread products like doughnuts and pastries. Eliminating gluten and eating a gluten-free diet can help reduce your risk of heart disease, certain cancers and other health-related conditions, like diabetes. A gluten-free diet can also help your body ward off viruses and germs, because many of the foods you eat will be full of antioxidants, and essential vitamins and minerals. Most of the foods you consume on a glutenfree diet may help promote healthy weight loss, especially if you eat a well-balanced diet that contains essential protein, carbohydrates and fat.

or decades, people have turned to diet soft drinks as a healthier alternative to regular soft drinks. However, consuming diet soda on a regular basis may have some serious health ramiﬁcations, including weight gain.

It may seem counterintuitive to suggest that diet sodas may be causing people to gain weight, particularly because these sodas are commonly consumed by people who are trying to lose weight. However, artiﬁcial sweeteners found in some diet sodas may increase a person’s risk of obesity. It’s not entirely what you are eating that can cause weight gain butt what the body thinks it is eating (orr drinking) that plays a role.

glucose levels. It also causes the body to store the glucose as fat. This can lead to low blood sugar, which may cause you to eat a sugary treat in response. Having diet soda or eating a sugarless item once in a while won’t create any long-term effects. But repeatedly relying on artiﬁcial sweeteners could affect appetite and change blood sugar levels for good. These aren’t the only consequences to diet soda and other beverages. Drinking diet soda regularly may affect cardiovascular health. According to the American Heart Association, research presented at the American re Stroke Association’s International St Stroke Conference found people St who drink diet soda every day have wh 61 percent higher risk of vascular a6 events than those who reported no eve soda consumption. sod

There are two factors at play with regard to the artificial sweetener conundrum. First, The University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio has researched the potential link between obesity and artificial sweeteners. Researchers have found that something in the chemical structure of these sweeteners alters the way the brain processes the neurotransmitter er serotonin. In addition to helping with sleep, mood and other functions in the body, serotonin helps tell the body when it is full. When natural foods and sugars are consumed, serotonin signals to the brain to turn off your body’s appetite. However, artificial sweeteners may prolong the release of serotonin, and your appetite remains in full force long after it should have abated.

Regular soda isn’t a better alternative. Re It ccan contribute to weight gain and cardiovascular issues as well as car an increased risk for diabetes. A 2011 review published in the journal 201 Circulation stated that a positive Circ has been shown between sugarassociation ha sweetened soft drink consumption and weight gain in both children and adults.

Another component of artificial sweeteners, particularly aspartame, is that these chemicals can trick the body into thinking it has, in fact, consumed sugar. That triggers the pancreas to produce the insulin needed to regulate blood-

Although diet soda may seem a likely option to help curb calories and prevent weight gain, such beverages may actually be having an adverse effect on a person’s weight.

Nutritionists and doctors have advised that instead of adding artiﬁcial sweeteners to water and other beverages, ﬂavor them with lemon or lime juice. Instead of drinking diet soda, opt for unsweetened tea or plain water.

Easy ways to improve memory

veryone forgets things from time to time. Periodically forgetting where you left your keys is likely not indicative of a bad memory. But some people ﬁnd themselves forgetting things more frequently, a troubling development for those who can’t explain their sudden loss of memory. Memory loss is often considered to go hand-in-hand with aging. As a person ages, conventional wisdom suggests memory will begin to fade. But sometimes memory loss has nothing to do with aging, and a lot to do with a brain that isn’t sharp because of an unhealthy lifestyle. The following are a few ways men and women can improve their memory. Get some sleep. Men and women who aren’t getting enough sleep can almost certainly blame that lack of shut-eye for at least some of their memory loss. When you don’t get enough sleep, your brain’s ability to think critically, solve problems and even be creative is compromised considerably. In addition, research has shown that memory-enhancing activities occur during the deepest stages of sleep, further highlighting the importance of getting a full night of interruption-free rest. Hit the gym. Exercise is another activity that can improve memory. Daily physical exercise increases the amount of oxygen that gets to your brain while reducing the risk for certain disorders, including diabetes and cardiovascular disease, both of which can lead to memory loss. Manage stress effectively. Stress has a host of negative side effects, not the least of which is its impact on your memory. Chronic stress that goes untreated can destroy brain cells and damage the region of the brain that deals with the formation of new memories as well as the retrieval of older memories. Numerous studies

have shown that men and women cite their career as their primary source of stress. Since quitting your job is likely not an option, find ways to manage your stress more effectively. This may mean finding a way to make the most of your time, be it working more efficiently, emphasizing planning ahead or even vowing to stop procrastinating. Other ways to manage stress include making time to relax and recognizing that you have limits while seeking the help of others.

Make some dietary changes. Diet can also have an impact on memory. What you eat is fuel for both your body and your brain, aand a poor diet can hhave a negative impact oon your memory. Be sure to include B oomega-3 fatty acids, ssources of which include salmon, tuna in aand other cold water fatty ﬁsh, in your diet. fa Research has shown R tthat omega-3 fatty aacids, which can also be found in walnuts, can boost brain power and possibly reduce your risk for Alzheimer’s disease. Foods with antioxidants, including fruits and vegetables, can also protect your brain cells from damage, which can have a positive impact on your memory. Leafy green vegetables like spinach, romaine lettuce and arugula as well as fruits like apricots, mangoes and cantaloupe are good sources of antioxidants. A diet high in saturated fat, which is found in red meat, whole milk, butter and cheese, has been found to have a negative impact on memory. Research has shown that such a diet increases a person’s risk of developing dementia while impairing an individual’s ability to concentrate and remember things. Loss of memory is often a momentary lapse, but those who ﬁnd themselves becoming more and more forgetful can take steps to improve their memory and their quality of life.

Explore doodling and writing The Arts Council will host noted author Cornelia Hoogland for a talk and workshop on Saturday Feb. 2 at the Sybil Andrews Cottage, 2131 South Island Highway. T h e wo rk s h o p, entitled Writing the Unthinkable: Doodling our way into writing will take place from noon until 2:30 p.m. Based on Lynda Barry’s “non writing craft” techniques, Hoogland will lead participants in innovative and exploratory writing (and drawing) exercises. Bring doodling paper. The cost

is $30. Call the Arts Council at 923-0213 to register. Then from 3-4 p.m., Hoogland will hold a free reading from Woods Wolf Girl, her recent novel. Hoogland writes: “A girl, a wolf, a meeting in the woods. The quintessential story frame. Like Goldilocks, Red Riding Hood is alone, but rather than a domestic setting she’s in the woods. Red Riding Hood is of the first stories many people hear, and one they tell their children. This has been going on for 100s of years. Herein

lies the power of the fairy tale: it’s a story that we all more or less know, and we’re still telling it – in our own ways, according to our own interpretations.” In Woods Wolf Girl, Hoogland sets her version of the story in B.C.’s rainforest, where she grew up. The book tries to capture the sense of Red’s multiple identities throughout the ages, and the plethora of attitudes toward her. Woods Wolf Girl and other of Hoogland’s books will be for sale, and for signing. The talk is free.

Great Horned Owl will sit in for live animal portrait As a fundraiser for the Mountainaire Avian Rescue Society, local artist Jonny Cresswell will paint a live animal portrait of a Great Horned Owl named Brinley. The owl, brought to the gallery by her handler, Reg Westcott of MARS, will join Cresswell in the window of Impressions Gallery this Saturday from noon to 4:30 p.m., where Cresswell will create a large oil painting. The painting will be up for silent auction at Impressions, with final bids to be submitted at the Mountainaire Avian Rescue Society (MARS) EagleFest, February 23 at the Maritime Heritage Centre. â€œWhat an amazing experience,â€? Cresswell said. â€œIâ€™m going to get the chance to paint a live Great Horned Owl to raise money for a charity that is very important to me personally. It will be fascinating to spend that much time up close to such a magnificent creature. â€œThey do so much more than save injured birds. Their mission is to conserve and protect native wildlife and its natural habitat through education and

rehabilitation,â€? Cresswell said. For more information on MARS, visit its website, www.wingtips. org The owl and the artist will be accepting dona-

tions for MARS as well as bids on the painting from the date of the event until the Campbell River Bald Eagle Festival at the Maritime Heritage Museum on February 23.

There Cresswell and Brinley will hopefully meet up again, when the auction is closed and the proud new owner announced. If Brinleyâ€™s not too busy, that is.

The public is invited to the opening of two new exhibitions at the Campbell River Art Gallery Thursday, January 31 at 5:30 p.m. The exhibition â€˜Two Eyes, Five Legs, Right Hand Left Handâ€™ will take place in the Main Gallery and will feature the work of Hornby Island artist, Jo Lechay. Lechay injects the vigor and drama of her former career in contemporary dance and theatre into her bold canvases. Her work has the dynamism and energy of both disciplines. â€œI draw and paint best when improvising with my entire body,â€? says Lechay. â€œUsing my left or right hand, and sometimes both at once.â€? The pieces selected for the CRAG exhibition are a mix of

large scale canvases and smaller works on Asian paper. Her subjects are often figurative and draw from a range of influences such as Expressionism, Inuit sculpture, and imaginary animals. Lechayâ€™s show opens Thursday, Jan 31 at 5:30 p.m., with refreshments and an illustrated talk by the artist. Also opening Thursday, January 31 will be artist Linda Waltonâ€™s exhibition â€˜Cool Connectionsâ€™ in the Discovery Gallery. A graduate of Berkshire College of Art in England, Wal ton is an avid photographer who has taught art and exhibited her work in a multitude of solo and group exhibitions. Her current exploration in photography focuses on the abstract in the naturalistic. Wal-

ton explores colours, shapes, and the element of surprise in the frozen landscapes of British Columbia. Photograph ing and enlarging minute details, her naturebased photographs resemble abstractions more than realism. Walton will be giving two short â€˜Walk and Talkâ€™ tours of her work at the opening to discuss technique, inspiration, and answer questions. Staff and volunteers at the Campbell River Art Gallery look forward to welcoming the public to meet the artists at the opening reception. The Campbell River Art Gallery is open Tuesday to Saturday from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, contact the Gallery at 250-287-2261 or by e-mail at contact@ crartgallery.ca

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

Deborah Lynne Reimer (Wolner)

February 16, 1961-January 9, 2013 Debbie passed away peacefully with her sisters and husband at her side at home. Debbie was truly blessed with a strong faith in God which gave her the strength and courage to endure many years she battled with her health. She always cared about the well being of others and would pray constantly asking God to bless their Lives abundantly. Debbie was an inspiration to all that knew her through her loving kindness and integrity to be honest and fair. She will truly be missed by family and friends but never forgotten for her spirit lives on in each of our hearts and minds. Debbie has ascended to heaven to be with her heavenly father to a place of peace and serenity where she will no longer feel pain or suffering. Debbie loved to watch the eagles soaring in the skies above our house always saying how free they looked. They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings as eagles. Isaiah 40.31 To all who knew our angel Deborah and wish to share the celebration of her life, the service will be held on Saturday January 26, 2013 at 1:00pm at the VIneyard Church 2215 Campbell River Rd.

In loving memory COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENTS God saw you getting tired When a cure was not to be. So He closed His arms aroundyou youand an whispered around whispered â€œCome to me.â€? You didnâ€™t deserve what you went through, So he gave you rest. Godâ€™s garden must be beautiful, He only takes the best. And when we saw you sleeping so peaceful and free from pain, We could not wish you back To suffer that again. It broke our hearts to lose you but you didnâ€™t go alone. For a part of us went with you The day God called you home.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 25, 2013 | CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR |

Local judokas earn 17 medals

A27

2X7

The Campbell River Judo Club hosted its fourth annual judo tournament last Saturday and took home several medals. The club dojo, with its two mat areas, was the scene of competition for approximately 60 judoka in 15 different age and weight categories. Teams from Victoria, Mill Bay and Nanaimo plus the local host club participated. Campbell Riverâ€™s club came away with a total of 17 metals: six gold, eight silver, and three bronze. In the novice white belt divisions Finley Goodlif fe and Joel Idiens claimed gold, while Marcus Petersen, Brody Warner, James LeBlanc and Bryn Girvin claimed silver. Klyee Doherty, in her very first tournament, fought her way to a bronze. I n t h e a dva n c e d coloured belt divisions Owen Wellard, Anthony Henry, Wyatt Huggins and Kelsey Painter achieved a

golden moment. Patrick Connors, Braydon McClary, Jake Minsky and Hayley John fought their ways to silver metals. Jordann Warner and Thomas Connors placed third in their divisions to claim bronze. The perfor mances by the Campbell River Judo Club judoka were very good, with some excellent matches and spectacular throws. The kids were able to complete techniques, which are practiced over and over in their regular classes. Judo is easy when your practice partner lets you complete a throw, but it is much harder to do when your opposition doesnâ€™t want to be thrown. The next tournament for the local club members is at the Richmond, B.C. Oval in February. The Campbell River Judo Club welcomes anyone to come to its practices. More information is available on Facebook or the website, www.crjudoclub. com

Nordic Devos rock the Coast Cup race Last weekend, a large team of young nordic ski racers enjoyed themselves at the Teck Coast Cup #2 race at Whistler Olympic Park. In addition to having a great time, the Devo team of more than 25 racers also brought home a wealth of medals. Race conditions were near perfect at minus 5 under clear blue skies, and with Olympic memories at the venue still fresh, the young racers enjoyed skiing on the same tracks as elite racers did just a few short years ago. Whatever the reason, the Strathcona Nordics racers were clearly inspired. First place finishers in the Atom, PeeWee, Bantam, and Midget age categories include Liam Bugslag, Hugo Henckel, Theo Lemay, and Emmy Stapff; Ben Prager took a second, and third place finishers were Kai McGrady, Matthew Salmon, Callam Barry, and Amelia Wells. Special mention goes to Sebastien Marcoux for his strong third place finish in the Masters Men category. After two races in the Teck Coast Cup series, the Strathcona Nordics currently have a lock on third place—and the club will make a determined run for top spot with the final two races of the series being held on home turf at Mount Washington Nordic on March 9 and 10.

Action at the net The Campbell River Pee Wee A Tyees were in tough against the Peninsula Eagles at Rod Brind’Amour Arena last Saturday. The Tyee’s net (above) was where a lot of the action was for the first half of the game before, already down 5-1, the home team rallied with a more physical presence to try and stem the tide, holding the visitors to one more goal, finishing the game down 6-1. Meanwhile, attempts at the other end (left) found quarters a little close. ALISTAIR TAYLOR/THE MIRROR
