The visiting students imparted some Japanese culture on their Canadian hosts last Friday at the Baptist Church. They’re part of the international home stay program run through the local school district and this was the 10th time students from the school have visited our city.
The mayor is firing back at councillors who have called him out for criticizing council decisions after council meetings. Mayor Walter Jakeway said that at a recent mayors’ caucus one speaker, Bill Buholzer, a lawyer with extensive knowledge of the Community Charter, told Jakeway that, even as mayor, he is free to express his opinion even if his beliefs go against what council as a whole has approved or disapproved. Jakeway said he told Buholzer that several members of council believe that once council votes, the mayor can only speak in support of that particular topic.

The Campbell River RCMP have issued a public warning about a man who approached a woman on Alder Street and attempted to grab her. Early Monday morning, an adult female was walking on Alder Street near Rockland Road, headed home from a friend’s house, said Staff Sgt. Troy Beauregard of the Campbell River RCMP. She was approached by a male who tried to talk with her, Beauregard said. She ignored the male who at that time became more aggressive in his attempts to speak with her. The male then grabbed hold of her. The victim was able to break free and flag down a passing vehicle while the suspect fled. There have been a number of reports over the last month of a lone male approaching younger females and attempting to engage them in conversation, Beauregard said. In Monday’s incident, the male suspect is described as a tall, white male in his 20s, with a slim build and wearing a dark jacket. He has short dark hair and scruffy facial hair. Campbell River RCMP are asking anyone who may have had a similar encounter to contact them at 250286-6221. If you have information regarding this or any other offence you can also contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or by text – CRCS to CRIMES (274637).
