A backlash from local non-prof-its over having their tax exemp-tions revoked has the provincial government backpedaling.

Six charitable groups received a letter from the city Sept. 21 informing them that their prop-erty tax exemption was being revoked because of a new inter-pretation of the provincial Com-munity Charter. The city’s trans-lation was that non-profit groups could no longer receive a permis-sive tax exemption unless they own or have a capital lease on their property.

That did not sit well with Campbell River and Family Ser-vices Society executive director Camille Lagueux, who was pre-paring to celebrate the society’s Family Services Day today.

She described the move as a “devastating blow” to an organi-zation that struggles to maintain the same level of service for more than 2,500 people each year.

“The city needs to become a full partner in providing these essen-tial services to its citizens and we are asking that they honour their agreement with the society,”

Community to the rescue: Campbell Riverites opened their hearts

News A2

BRIAN KIERANCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Campbell River Mir-ror readers gave from the heart when they learned that Braedyn Stovman, a youngster with Down’s syndrome, needed help to make his Disneyland dream come true.

That dream is coming true – and then some – thanks to the generos-ity of the community and Central Mountain Air.

Braedyn has been invited to take part in “Dreams Take Flight 2012” sponsored by Air Canada and Dis-neyland, but getting the youngster and his mom Brandi to Van-couver for an orienta-

tion session last Sun-day and for his flight to California Oct. 16 was proving to be an insur-mountable financial challenge.

Brandi’s world has been in turmoil. Her home is in foreclosure, her decade-old van is on its last legs and she’s on crutches and off work. Husband, Chris, is working in camp.

When Central Moun-tain Air learned of Brandi’s predicament the airline quickly stepped up to the plate with an offer of dis-counted tickets from Campbell River to Van-couver return.

And, when the Mir-ror’s news story about Braedyn hit the door-steps last Wednesday the community did the rest.

Brandi says all her

expenses related to the two trips have been covered by donations.

“I’ve been really we e py. I ’ m ove r-whelmed. I’ve never asked for help before and I had no idea there was so much love in this community. It’s so powerful.”

The return trip Sun-day was paid for by two Campbell River businesswomen, Sally Brooks and Heather Horton.

The Oct. 16 flights have been paid for anonymously. Other s i g n i f i c a n t d o n a -tions of cash to cover expenses came from Penner Automotive, Fitness Etc., Brian G o l d , a n o ny m o u s “Rob,” Cloverdale Paint and the staff at City Hall and at Brae-dyn’s Ocean Grove School.

A change in the property assess-

ment value of the defunct Cata-

lyst Elk Falls pulp mill is going

to result in a 2012 tax revenue loss

to Campbell River in the range of

$1.8 million, City Manager Andy

Laidlaw said Tuesday.

If that loss was transferred

directly to residential taxpayers,

they would be required to pay 12

per cent more in property tax this

year, Laidlaw estimates.

But Campbell River Mayor Wal-

ter Jakeway is determined there

will be no property tax hikes for

homeowners this year.

In an interview prior to the

Catalyst notification from the BC

Assessment Authority (BCAA) he

said: “My personal intention is to

have a zero per cent tax increase

in 2012. That’s my personal goal

and I’m sure I can bring a few

other councillors along with me

without having to cut services too

badly.”The BCAA announced Tues-

day that the equipment removal

at the former Catalyst Elk Falls

pulp and paper mill means it

no longer meets the legislative

requirements for a major indus-

trial property.

“This will result in a decrease

of approximately $45 million dol-

lars in the major industry classi-

fication,” says BCAA Vancouver

Island Regional Assessor Bill

MacGougan.The city manager set the stage

Lagueux said last week.It seems that message was

heard.“Based on new information from

the province, the city’s Community Partnership Committee will recom-mend that the bylaw on permissive tax exemption be amended to re-instate previously revoked proper-ties leased by charitable/non-profit groups,” said a news release issued by the city last Friday morning. “Following (the Sept. 18) council meeting, the Ministry of Commu-nity, Sport and Cultural Develop-ment received calls questioning their interpretation of permissive tax exemption eligibility.”

Barry Watchorn, the chair of the city’s Community Partnership Committee, which recommended council revoke tax breaks to the local charities, apologized for the mix up.

“The committee’s previous rec-ommendation was based on our best understanding of the provin-cial legislation at the time, and we are very sorry for the difficulty community groups experienced as a result of that recommendation.”

Now the ministry says it has broadened its interpretation of the Community Charter. After receiv-ing legal advice, the city confirmed there is no basis in the legislation that the lease must be a capital lease, therefore operating leases held by non-profits qualify for the tax break. Natalie Aalderink, the city’s finance manager, said the city’s legal counsel believes the city was given “incorrect advice by the ministry” which it is now trying to correct.

“In light of this new informationthe committee met Sept. 28 to con-sider the ministry’s most recentresponse and the opinion from ourlegal counsel, and they recommendthat we amend the bylaw to rein-state previously revoked propertiesand to add (three) new ones,” saidBarry Watchorn, chair of the Com-munity Partnership Committee.

The groups that will have their tax exemption reinstated are: Hab-itat for Humanity’s ReStore, TotalChange Ministries’ 88.7 Spirit FMChristian Music radio, CampbellRiver Family Services, CanadianRed Cross, Campbell River SeniorsSociety, and River City Players. Thethree new tax breaks will be givento the Willow Point Supportive Liv-ing Society, Campbell River DragonBoat Society, and the StrathconaRegional District.

That was welcome news for Lagueux, who was informed ofthe change by the city last Fridaymorning.

“Very relieved to hear that,” shesaid. “This past week has been arollercoaster ride for us. Now wecan move ahead with Family Ser-vices Day on October 3 and focuson providing needed services to thecommunity.”

The city’s Community Partner-ship Committee was expected tohave a report before council at itsmeeting Oct. 2, after the Mirrorwent to press, recommending coun-cil rescind third reading of thebylaw that revoked the tax exemp-tions. Based on 2012 tax rates, thecity will provide 70 organizationstax breaks worth $637,737 in 2013.The permissive tax exemptionbylaw must be adopted by Oct. 31.

Strathcona Regional D i s t r i c t d i r e c t o r Brenda Leigh is confi-dent residents south of the city limits will not elect to join the City of Campbell River in order to get sewer ser-vice.

The city announced last week it had entered into prelimi-nary discussions with the province to look into expanding the city boundaries to solve the problem of failing septic tanks in Area D (Crawford Road-Oyster Bay).

Brenda Leigh, who represents Area D at the regional district level, said her con-

stituents do not want the increased costs that come with being within the city limits.

“I do not believe that the people of Area D are interested in being annexed into Camp-bell River or being gov-erned by them in order to get those services. Area D wants basic services at fair prices,” Leigh said in a pre-pared statement Thurs-day. “That’s something that the people of Area D should decide after a full and independent presentation of all the factors, and through referendum.”

The city is proposing to incorporate about 1,000 properties from the city boundary at Jubilee Parkway south

to Henry Road (includ-ing properties front-ing Henry Road). The proposal would allow 2,400 of the total 4,300 Area D population to hook up to the city’s sewer service and get off septic tanks, some of which are failing and creating health and environmental concerns.

But the proposal can only proceed if resi-dents give their sup-port through a referen-dum.

“A boundary adjust-ment would only go ahead if both city and Area D residents in the proposed area support the idea,” Coun. Andy Adams said. “Develop-ment in the proposed adjustment area is very similar to residential neighbourhoods inside city boundaries, and the lack of commu-nity sewer in this area poses the most risk to public health and the environment.”

Leigh said the city is acting too quickly.

“Based on informa-tion provided by the Ministry of Commu-nity, Sport and Cul-tural Development, Campbell River council seems to have skipped crucial steps in the process required in any proposed bound-ary extension,” Leigh said. “Any annexa-tion application will require a comprehen-sive and independent consultation process in Electoral Area D that would take consider-

able time and effort to complete.”

Leigh said the city’s proposal was unex-pected.

“I actually had no idea that this annexa-tion question would come up,” Leigh said. “Although this pro-posal by Campbell River has caught me by surprise, I was able to obtain the neces-sary answers (from Community, Sport and Cultural Minister Bill Bennett) for the people of Area D and they can rest assured that noth-ing is going to be forced upon them and it may take a few years before the province could complete the required process.”

The city and the Strathcona Regional District have been working for several years to reach an agreement on sewer services for Area D. In 2006, Area D residents voted in a referendum to support the regional district borrowing up to $9,350 for the col-lection and disposal of sewage. Leigh said the city’s most recent proposal, in Oct. 2011, was more than double

what was approved in the referendum and the city pulled out of negotiations after the regional district turned it down.

Meanwhile, Brian Reardon, chief admin-istrative officer for the regional district, was not impressed with how the city has han-dled the most recent situation.

“It is unfortunate that Campbell River has taken the approach that they have in that a full process of consulta-tion has not occurred,” he said.

But the city says it will consult with affected residents.

“Council agreed that involving the public in the discussion at this time was the right thing to do,” Coun. Mary Storry said. “Whether this idea pro-ceeds or not is really up to the broader commu-nity as we recognize and respect the fact that the residents will need to decide whether a boundary adjust-ment makes sense for them.”

The city says it plans to provide information for Campbell River and Area D residents.

Sewer: Proposal a surprise


Campbell River resident Nick Facey, a 25-year-old PhD student, has been acclaimed the provincial Liberal candi-date for North Island. He will face NDP incumbent Claire Trevena in an uphill battle in May 2013.

Facey knows the hill he must climb is steep. “I don’t think we campaigned prop-erly last time. I won’t limit my campaign to Campbell River by any means. We have not campaigned on the north island properly nor have we campaigned on Quadra and Cortes effectively. We lost Port Alice terribly (in 2009). We can’t do that again. I have to get out there and be part of the conversation.”

Facey has taken a leave from his doctoral studies in business at Simon Fraser University to challenge Trevena. His acclamation came Tuesday evening at his party’s nomination meeting at the Maritime Heritage Centre. Education Minister Don McCrea (Comox Valley) was there to cheer him on.

Today, Facey is setting up his campaign office in Geor-gia Quay, #102-901 Island Highway.

“I want to ensure that young people come to the North Island to seek a liv-ing, and parents move here because it’s an ideal place to raise their kids,” Facey said. “The key to that is ensuring that there are jobs in our region, and Premier Christy Clark has made jobs her number one focus. That’s why I’m standing with the premier to help keep British Columbia’s economy moving forward.”

The last Liberal to hold North Island was Rod Visser who lost the seat in 2005 even though he outspent Trevena two to one. Trevena held the riding in 2009 polling about 3,000 votes more than her Liberal challenger Marion Wright.

Even though the overlap-ping federal riding of Van-couver Island North is held by the Conservatives, the party has no provincial pro-file here. BC Conservative leader John Cummins was attempting to change that earlier this week with a two-day North Island tour that included Campbell River and Gold River. On his arm was Campbell River’s Bob Bray, to date the only candidate for the party’s North Island nomination.

Dogwood Street was closed for an hour and a half Monday as rescue crews freed a 66-year-old Campbell River woman from her car after a collision sent a second vehicle careening through the school yard fence at Ecole Phoenix.

Fortunately, there were no children nearby when the crash occurred.

At approximately 12:15 p.m. RCMP, fire rescue and ambulance crews responded to the collision at Dog-wood and 7th Avenue.

A northbound Buick operated by a 58-year-old Campbell River man collided with the woman’s Pontiac which was making a left hand turn from 7th onto Dogwood.

RCMP Staff Ser-geant Troy Beaure-gard said the force of the crash sent the Pon-tiac spinning through the intersection.

It came to rest against a stopped taxi. The driver of the Buick lost control and went through a fence before coming to a stop in the school sports field.

“The female driver of the Pontiac was trapped in the vehicle and had to be extri-cated by Fire Rescue before being trans-ported by BC Ambu-lance to Campbell River Hospital. The drivers of the Buick and the taxi were not injured,” Beauregard said.

Neither drugs nor alcohol are suspected in the crash.

Speed and failing to stop for a traffic con-trol device are being investigated.

The RCMP investi-gation is continuing, Beauregard said.

“You should write an ar cle on what it would cost taxpayers to lter water if it becomes polluted. The Roses and Thorns sec on would not be big enough!” stated one par cipant in the 2012 Watershed Management Plan public engagement process.

“I hope our city does what it can to protect our lakes, no other city has what we have: So many lakes, so clean”, said another, re ec ng the opinion of 97% of those who par cipated.

“There are simple things we can do to protect the water that will save us a bundle in the long run,” commented a third par cipant, aptly summarizing the goal of the City’s drinking water protec on plan.

People in the remaining 3%, are equally rm: “If results of protec on mean no recrea on, then I say - Filter it!”

Fortunately, many people who value both drinkingwater and recrea on promote responsible use.

“We hope all can work together so access is not lost,” said a par cipant from this group.

The people of Campbell River value the forests and lakes in the watershed for recrea on and the clean drinking water they provide. Keeping recrea on clean in the watershed will help us delay the need to invest in expensive water treatment methods like ltra on.

How does one compare the value of recrea on and access against the risk to drinking water?

Of the ve lakes in the watershed, water in John Hart Lake is closest to the drinking water intake. Disease causing microorganisms introduced into this lake can easily slip into the drinking water supply. The water in John Hart Lake is at the highest risk and requires the most protec on.

Water in the remaining lakes can withstand more human presence and ac vi es due to longer travel me, but risks s ll exist. The key will be to balance recrea on and protec on around all the lakes through partnerships between an informed ci zenry and regula ng agencies.

Can it be done?

A few weeks ago the Campbell River Chamber of Commerce held its Awards of Distinction, an oppor-tunity for the community to celebrate and appreciate the high standards of corporate citizenship that define

our business community.It is a pity someone from Catalyst

Paper wasn’t in the audience to learn by example. Since August when Cata-lyst announced the sale of the Elk Falls mill site the company has envel-oped itself in a shroud of troubling silence. Campbell River is not even

on the radar when it comes to communicating details about the faltering progress of the sale.

It took prodding by the Mirror to discover that the

first sale deadline, Sept. 5, had been missed. When the second deadline Sept. 19 approached, came and went Catalyst’s vice-president of corporate “responsibility” refused to answer repeated calls from the Mirror.

This studied indifference to its duty of accountabil-ity is shoddy. And, considering the economic and social pain Catalyst has caused this community since it bailed in 2010, its current behavior simply adds insult to injury. The $8.6 million sale of the Elk Falls site to Edmonton developer Harold Jahn, owner of Pacifica Deep Sea Terminals Inc., was announced with great fanfare Aug. 16. Catalyst CEO Kevin J. Clarke described Jahn as “an experienced developer with the capacity and an industrial concept that will fully utilize the site’s infrastructure and bring new business and jobs

to the region.”This left the impression that Catalyst had done its

due diligence when Jahn offered to purchase. But, the company’s bunker mentality for the past month leads us to question just how much corporate elbow grease went into the vetting of Jahn. It only took two hours of phone calling to Alberta by the Mirror to learn that Jahn has been party to two similar development pro-posals in the Athabasca region that never got off the drawing board.

Huge questions persist about environmental reme-diation of the contaminated site. Jahn has said he will assume full liability, but that assurance has a hollow ring after a month of silence.

What should be ringing are our alarm bells.

I am writing in response to your Sept. 25 article, North Island MLA outlines NDP’s forestry plan.

On Northern Vancouver Island, the public, not for-est companies control the Crown land base. Through the 2003 Forestry Revitalization Plan, we redistributed tenure from the largest licensees in order to create more opportunities for smaller operators and First Nations.

As a result, 17 North Island First Nations have had the opportunity to participate in the forest sector. As well a strategic engagement agreement and reconcili-ation protocol with member bands of the Nanwakolas Tribal Council are bringing certainty to forestry opera-tions in the area.

Clarity also needs to be provided around definition of log exports, since in some cases log exports from Tahsis are just to mills in Port Alberni or Nanaimo. Because of concerns raised around log exports, I have asked for a review of log export policy and expect to be able to announce the results later this fall.

I know the last few years have been challenging

The otherwordly landscape of Baikie IslandThe landscaping in the interior of

Baikie Island is surreal.Straight logs stick out of the ground

like bare pillars. An upside-down root mass looks like witches hair waving in the wind. Frail, spindly alder shoots are protected from the ravages of rapacious deer by fishing nets and the ground is pitted with deep holes. It looks a bit odd – like a newly-landscaped garden that has yet to fill in as the fresh plantings estab-lish themselves. Which, of course, is what it is.

The last time I had crossed the little bridge at the end of Coulter Road, it was with “shovels and rakes and implements of destruction” to quote Arlo Guthrie. We were going to hack

and pull at the evil Scotch broom that had established itself on the island like it has on many places on Vancouver Island. By the way, I wish the common name for Cytisus sco-parius was not Scotch broom. Being “Scotch,” I don’t like being associated with this noxious plant. Its prolific spores choke allergy sufferers and allow the plant to take over acres of native landscape which has no indig-enous predator to beat it back.

The central clearing in Baikie Island that used to house a logging operation, was quickly taken over by broom and the equally dominat-ing alien blackberry. Once Baikie Island was purchased by the Nature Conservancy of Canada and given to

the City of Campbell River (i.e., you and me), all out war was declared on the vile broom and other invasive species. Jim van Tine and volunteers from numerous community groups whacked and hacked and pulled at the bushes to remove them. Others planted trees and shrubs. I was there one recent spring hacking away.

But even though we put in a good day’s work, the area was still covered in broom and I thought, ‘My good-ness, they’re going to have scrape this clean if they really want to get rid of this stuff.’

Well, guess what, that’s what they did. Scraped it clear and replanted with native species. They did that last year and already the native plants

have established themselves.The logs and root masses sticking

out of the ground I mentioned before are there to replicate wildlife trees which are trees that have died natu-rally but which are quickly colonized by bugs. That, of course, attracts woodpeckers and flickers which bore into the trunks. The holes they leave provide nesting habitat for birds and a natural habitat returns.

The Baikie Island Restoration proj-ect held its official open house on Sunday and it was an opportunity to applaud the broad-based community effort to restore the whole Baikie Island area. Just consider the feath-ers of birds recolonizing the area as feathers in Campbell River’s cap.

Remembering the War Years

Re: “Why is this allowed?” - Sept. 12 edi-tion of Campbell River Mirror

I’d like to submit this response to the above-mentioned article.

In response to “Why is this allowed?” by Judy Campbell, I wish first of all to let Camp-bell River readers know that there are a few Judy Campbells in town.

I was horrified to see my name attached to a letter demeaning Claire Trevana, our hard-working MLA.

There’s a good expla-nation of the policy

of our government by Dan MacLennan in the September 7th edition of the Courier Islander.

It seems that it’s common practice for spouses to attend cer-tain conferences on trips arranged by the Speaker’s Office.

Ms. Trevana isn’t a member of the party in power in Victoria and I’ve certainly never noticed any “sense of entitlement” in the manner in which she conducts herself as our MLA. She’s usually busy being responsive to the needs and con-

cerns of her constitu-ents.

I consider “the other Judy Campbell” to be playing party politics here and would assume she’s not a member of the NDP Party.

By the way Ms. Camp-bell, Claire Trevana has explained this issue thoroughly a number of times. Maybe it’s time for you to write to the Speaker’s Office with your complaint and outrage.

Somehow I don’t see that happening.

Jail birds back in the nest

Two Campbell River men are back behind bars after committing crimes within hours of being released from jail.

Mathias Michael Thomas, 23, was charged with assault and breach of probation. A

guilty plea was entered and Thomas was sentenced to four months in jail. Thomas had just been released from jail the previous day where he was serving a four-month term for breach of probation and theft.

Anthony Mark Galligos, 22, was charged with

possession of stolen property and theft under $5,000. He entered a guilty plea to the possession charge and the theft charge was stayed. Galligos was sentenced to 30 days

in jail. He had just been released from jail the same date as this offence where he had been serving a 30-day sentence for theft.

Assault on Dogwood

On the 29th at 4 p.m. police received a report of an

assault on Dogwood Street near 9th Avenue. The victim was walking on a trail nearby when he was confronted by a group of four to five intoxicated males. The victim was pushed and repeatedly punched by one of the males and his skate board was stolen. The victim was not

seriously injured. Police attended and a group of suspects was located nearby with the skateboard. Two primary suspects were identified and arrested. Both are well known to police.

RCMP kept busy

In alignment

with the Campbell River RCMP and City of Campbell River Crime Reduction and Prolific Offender Management strategy police conducted 41 probation and curfew checks on known and problem offenders during the month of September.

A group of local resi-dents opposed to BC Hydro’s controversial smart meters are tak-ing their message to the streets this week.

This Thursday has been declared Interna-tional Day of Action to Stop Smart Meters in order to demand an immediate ban on further smart meter installation across B.C.

In Campbell River, smart meter critics plan to congregate in front of the BC Hydro building on Evergreen Road in the early morn-ing, and then move on to city hall.

Tim Benoit, spokes-person for the Camp-bell River branch of the Stop Smart Meters Coalition said the demonstration is “to protest the continuing installations and to demand our rights.”

Smart meters have

already been installed outside the majority of Campbell River homes, but the coali-tion hopes to stop BC Hydro from replacing the old meters with smart meters.

The group insists smart meters, which are wireless and run on Wi-fi, pose security and health risks.

There has been ongo-ing research into poten-tial health and environ-mental effects related to radio frequency sig-

nals emitted from the smart meters.

The World Health O r g a n i z at i o n h a s classified those radio frequency electromag-netic fields as a Class 2B – a possible human carcinogen, which has been known to cause cancer.

Karle and Laurie Granlund, who own Granlund Firearms in Campbell River, worry the smar t meters could lead to security breaches.

“Given that BC Hydro will allow your infor-mation to be accessed online, the meters pose a significant security risk as hackers could easily get access to this information and deter-mine when a house was vacant, thus when it would be easy to break

in and steal,” said the Granlunds in a letter to city council.

BC Hydro has spent much of the past cou-ple of years defend-ing the devices, say-ing they pose less of a health threat than cellphones or Wi-fi in public places.

The smart meters have also been touted by BC Hydro for get-ting the lights back on quickly in the event of a power outage because the devices will send a signal to BC Hydro indicating when and where an outage has occurred.

Teresa Davis, Tour-ism Manager at Tour-ism Campbell River and Region, has been named the island’s “Most Valuable Player” by her peers.

The award was pre-sented to Davis at the annual Tourism Vancouver Island cer-emonies to showcase the best of Vancouver Island tourism repre-sentatives and busi-nesses.

The awards ceremony was held at the Best Western Premier Pres-tige Oceanfront Resort in Sooke.

Dave Petryk, Presi-dent and CEO of Tour-ism Vancouver Island

said: “The MVP Award recognizes an indi-vidual or a tourism business that has dem-onstrated a commit-ment to the growth of tourism through out-standing contributions to Tourism Vancouver Island.

Davis has worked for Tourism Campbell River for 12 years and has sat on the associa-tion’s marketing board for as long as she can remember. She said she was “excited and hum-bled” to be selected for the award.

“Locally we have won-derful tourism opera-tors and we are doing an excellent job of rais-

ing the tourism profile of Campbell River,” she said.

Petryk said: “The

recipient of this award was chosen for her above and beyond con-tributions which assist

in increasing the profile of Tourism Vancouver Island to the region’s industry and commu-

nities.“Teresa is always

enthusiastic and sup-portive of Tourism

Vancouver Island’s ini-tiatives and contributes an amazing amount of energy and ideas to Tourism Vancouver Island meetings and programs. She is com-mitted to the industry and seeing it grow not only in Campbell River, but throughout Van-couver Island,” Petryk said.

Tourism Vancouver Island is one of six regional destination management organiza-tions in British Colum-bia that represent Tour-ism British Columbia through the delivery of co-operative marketing and community devel-opment programs.

TIM HORTONS

Gary Thulin and Allison Kilby, dealer-owner along with Leanne Monks of Pio-neer Hardware Ltd., joined more than 10,000 Home Hard-ware Dealers, suppliers and staff from across Canada at Home’s annual Fall Market last month.

The Market was held at the company’s expansive Distri-bution Centre in St. Jacobs, Ontario. Featuring over 100,000 quality brand name and private label products, the Fall Market is a vital part of the spring and summer buying season for Pio-neer Hardware and enables them to leverage the collective buying power of over 1,080 stores to purchase product at competitive prices. The Mar-

ket also offers seminars, pre-sentations and hands-on train-ing – covering everything from housewares to power tools – to further enhance the expert advice dealers already provide to their customers.

The Fall Market also pro-vided dealers with the unique opportunity to preview Beauti-Tone Paint’s Simon Chang Oh Canada! Trend Colour Col-lection, launched at an exclu-sive fashion show event. The collection, a collaboration between Beauti-Tone, Home Hardware’s paint division, and Chang, a leading Canadian fashion designer, celebrates the country’s distinctive regional charms and proud heritage.

“We continue to be inspired

T h e S t r a t h c o n a Regional District will be conducting hydrant servicing and water-main flushing through-out the Electoral Area D and Craig Road water systems beginning the first week of October 2012 and continuing until the first week of November 2012.

Watermain flushing will take place mainly between the hours of 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday to Friday.

During these times, customers may experi-ence the following:

■ Intermittent drops

in water pressure■ Some discoloura-

tion of waterWater remains safe

to use and drink dur-ing watermain flush-ing. To avoid laundry staining or sediment accumulation in house-hold piping, water use should be minimized if discoloured water is noticed.

If water is found to be discoloured, run an outside tap after 4 p.m. until the water runs clear.

Watermain flushing is an important pre-ventative maintenance

activity that ensures the integrity of the water system includ-ing the fire hydrants and valves. Flushing is also undertaken to remove sediment from the system and to maintain water clarity and quality.

Additional informa-tion, including fre-quently asked ques-tions, is available on the Regional Dis-trict website (www.strathconard.ca). The Strathcona Regional District apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.

Area D will be feeling flush in the first week of November

Managing Your Money

When it comes to charitable giving, Canadians are among the best in the world. According to Statistics Canada, 5.7 million Canadians reported making a charitable donation in 2010 for a total of just under $8.3 billion.1

The simplest giving strategy is a cash donation but that may not be the best strategy for you. One that can not only help the charitable organization, but also help the donor to save on taxes, is the gifting strategy of donating publicly-traded securities.

Donating publicly-traded securities (such as shares or mutual fund units) directly to a charity is more tax-ef cient than selling the securities and donating the cash proceeds. If you sell shares or mutual fund units to make a cash donation you’ll have to include 50% of the realized capital gains as taxable income when you dispose of the shares or units. However, if you donate the shares or units directly to the charity there is no capital gains and accordingly no income tax payable.

Here’s an example: You have $100,000 of securities that originally cost you $30,000 (the “cost base” of that asset). You sell the securities and donate the $100,000 to your charity.

If your marginal tax rate is 46%, the sale of securities will create a tax liability of $16,100 (based on the $70,000 increase in the securities’ value times the 50% capital gains inclusion rate times your 46% marginal tax rate). However, if you make what is known as an ‘in-kind’ gift by donating the securities directly to the charity, your tax liability for the capital gain would be zero. Your charitable donation receipt would be for the fair market value of the securities on the date that the ownership of the securities was transferred to the charity. The special capital gains inclusion rate applies to ‘in-kind’ gifts to registered charitable organizations as well as public and private foundations. The charity/foundation must have a broker account into which the shares or units can be transferred. Charities typically have special forms to smooth the transfer

process or your advisor may be able to provide the required form. Check out your charity’s website for information about ‘in-kind’ transfers, or call them directly.

You are required to report all gifts of publicly-traded securities by including CRA form T1170, Capital Gains and Gifts of Certain Property with your tax return.

Your best approach to increasing your lifetime donations and potential tax bene ts begins with talking to your professional advisor and developing a plan the ts your overall nancial strategy.

Donating publicly-traded securities –a giving strategy that can work for you

Who cares? You do? We want to hear from you!

The City of Camp-bell River’s Youth Action Committee is looking for open-minded, innovative and motivated youth (14-18 years old) who want their say on com-munity issues.

The Youth Action Committee provides a youth perspective for staff and City Council on community issues like art, recreation, safety, transportation, culture, parks and the environment. The committee also shapes Campbell River’s Youth Engagement Strategy to involve youth in City projects and planning.

Last year, the Youth Action Committee began researching options for a Campbell River Youth Centre, participated in the annual Christmas Food Bank drive, fundraised and helped organize the Earth Week Film Festival, and provided advice on youth recreation, the Tidemark Theatre, Spirit Square, the heritage value of Big Rock and watershed planning.

The committee also developed a Youth Charter, a vision for the future for Camp-bell River that was endorsed by City Council, School Dis-trict 72 and the RCMP in June 2012.

“The Youth Action Committee is a place where your opinion not only matters, it can ignite ideas for change in the city that we live in,” says Mariah Carpenter, Youth Action Commit-tee Chair for 2012. “As youth, often times we feel as though we have no control over how things are done and as though our voices don’t hold much power. By joining a committee like YAC that is specifically for youth, you not only have the opportunity to let your voice be heard, but you have a group of your peers coming together, also bringing their ideas which can lead to

changes that we, as youth, want to see. We’re a real commit-tee of real teenagers, creating real plans and making a differ-ence for the present and future youth of Campbell River,” Mariah continues.

“Youth should con-sider joining YAC to not only to help give more of a youth per-spective within the city but for the chance

to meet and converse with other involved and locally-aware teens. YAC provides the opportunities to express opinions and learn more about our local government system,” adds Paige Derouin, YAC Member from 2012.

Another bonus: YAC participants develop valuable leadership and communications skills, and gain great

work experience. The committee

launches again this fall with a workshop on Friday, Oct. 20 and will then meet twice per month on Tuesdays from 3:30-5 p.m. to discuss topics important to youth in Campbell River.

Application forms for the Youth Action Committee are avail-able at Timberline and Carihi school offices,

the Sportsplex and the Community Centre. Applications are due Friday and can be sub-mitted via email until 11:59 p.m. or dropped off during regular hours at the above locations.

For more informa-tion, or to request or submit an application form, email: [email protected] or [email protected].

Games Puzzles&ARIESNo matter what type of negotiation you’re involved in, take care to rely on exact information. Relying on your impres sions will cause you more confusion than anything else.

TAURUSYou may get involved in some kind of sports activity. Your competitive spirit will take over and coming in second will be out of the question. You will enjoy all the glory you worked for.

GEMINIIf you’re feeling overtired, it means, paradoxically, that you need to get more exercise. Adopting a new lifestyle will give you a lot more energy.

CANCERStress isn’t necessarily a negative thing. It could provide you with the necessary motivation to achieve some brilliant exploits. Schedule some time away from work so you can balance out the diff erent areas of your life.

LEOPeople with this sign often thirst for power. You were born to be a leader and to manage your own empire. This week many of the necessary elements to start your own small business will fall into place.

VIRGOA vacation looms on the horizon. Even if it doesn’t take place for a few months, now’s the time to start preparing — perhaps by getting a new passport.

LIBRAYou might witness an unfair remark that causes a bit of a stir around you. You will have an important role to play in restoring harmony.

SCORPIOYou fi nd it hard to tolerate any kind of injustice and you tend to try and resolve unjust situations by yourself. While you play the parts of policeman and judge in one such situation this week, a bit of tact will allow you to manage things more successfully.

SAGITTARIUSYou will work with a great deal of energy and thoroughness to come to an agreement or sign a contract. Even if you suff er a lot of anxiety and sleeplessness, you will be extremely successful in the end.

CAPRICORNYou may be given a position of authority at work. For the sake of your health it is important to learn how to control your emotions and to express them appropriately when you need to.

AQUARIUSYou will see some almost instantaneous results with a new diet. You’ll fi nd this very satisfying and you’ll be very proud of yourself.

PISCESYou’ll be able to express your feelings with tact and integrity to family members with whom you have something to settle. There will be a bit of nostalgia in the air.

Perfect hair...always!

Kerry Fraser was always known as one of the best referees in the National Hockey League, but he was better known for his immaculate coiffure. Now

retired from reffing the big boys, Fraser was in Campbell River on Monday night to officiate the charity hockey match between the NHL Oldtimers and the

local Law Enforcement club. The undermanned Law Enforcement team weren’t much of a match for the Oldtimers which included Hall of Famers Bryan Trot-

tier and Glenn Anderson. Even a couple lopsided trades didn’t help the Cops who fell 17-12...or something like that. See more photos on Page A31.

On Saturday, Oct 13 at 2 p.m., award-winning family enter-tainer Rick Scott will give a musical reading at the Campbell River Library, to celebrate the release of his new 4-CD musical audio novel The Great Gaz-zoon – A Tall Tale with Tunes & Turbulence.

This is a folk tale told by a veteran folkie: for over 35 years Rick has performed in nine countries and released 18 recordings including seven award-winning children’s CDs.

The Great Gazzoon is the epic tale of how one boy’s love of music overcomes his fear and transforms his com-munity.

Over four hours and 60 chapters, through narration, dialogue, poetry and music, Scott and 25 actors, singers and musicians embrace themes of literacy, friendship, discovering creative process, overcoming

fear and trusting what you love. CD four, Gaz-zoon Tunes, contains full and embellished versions of songs from the story, and is also available as a stand-alone CD. The CDs will be available at the library program, Coho Books and from www.gazzoon.com.

Like his ancestors before him, Gazoon Wazoo is supposed to be practicing to walk the wire between the towering peaks of M o u n t L a n a d o o n . Instead he’s been play-ing music and making up songs with a poetry-writing Princess, two thieving friends and his special ekko. Can one boy’s love of music outsmart the angry Winds, defeat wily Lord Grot and bring balance and safety to the Kingdom?

Scott was inspired to write Gazzoon after facing his fear learn-ing to walk tightrope to play the title role

in the musical Bar-num. He scored the story with folk melo-dies performed on all manner of dulcimers: strummed, plucked, b o w e d , E - B o w e d , hammered and slide, accompanied by vio-lin, cello, guitar, bass, hang, didgeridoo, per-cussion, kora, tama, kalimba, shakuhachi, thunder drum, horns, dishwasher and human beat box.

Valley Hennell re-wrote and adapted the story for sound record-ing and produced it as audio cinema with a cast including actor/singers Joelle Rabu, Saffron Henderson and Andrea L’Heureux and musicians, including Doug Edwards, David Essig, Kinobe Herbert, Trish Clair and Kyle Shepard.

Scottk and Hennell’s seven previous chil-dren’s CDs have been honored with three Juno nominations and Parents’ Choice,

NAPPA Gold, iParent-ing Media & Canadian Folk Music Awards.

This free perfor-mance at the Campbell River Library will be approximately one hour long, and is most suitable for children aged eight and older. The Campbell River Library is located at 1240 Shoppers Row.

Antics Theatre is back with another Fawlty Towers’ episode – this time it’s The Builders.

How can doors disappear and walls replace them? Only Mr. O’Reilly and his workers can explain it. O’Reilly is played by none other than Antics Theatre’s resident Irishman, Paul Mason, joined by his able crew Kevin McHady and Lee Pollack. Sybil and Basil are leaving the hotel for a golf weekend.

Tale of two goaliesAbove, the Victoria Ice Hawks goalie reacts to the Atom A Tyees’ first goal of the game. Below, Tyee goalie Jayce Hudak deflects the puck off of his head. The Tyees opened Saturday’s game against Victoria with an early 2-0 lead but Victoria notched three unanswered goals en route to a 4-3 win.

Midget Tyees overcome stiff rubber legs

The 2012/13 Royal LePAGE Midget Tyees placement round schedule brought the Tyees to Powell River for a Saturday afternoon match up against the Kings.

The game started with the Tyees still looking for their land legs as Powell River came at them hard and physical, out-shooting and outplay-ing the Tyees.

G o a l i e R i l e y Mathieson was sharp, keeping the Kings off the scoreboard and in spite of a number of power play oppor-tunities, the Tyees didn’t create much in the way of scoring chances in the first.

Early in the second, on a Kings roughing penalty, Gavin Rauser scored off a nice feed to put the Tyees on the board.

Even though Powell River continued with their aggressive play and gave Campbell River several power plays, the Tyees couldn’t make them pay.

As it often happens, a call went the other way and Powell River made no mistake tying the game at one after the second.

Again in the third, against the flow of penalties, Powell

River got another chance on the power-play and a nice deflec-tion from a point shot put the Kings up 2-1.

The Tyees made a good push for the last half of the third but in spite of some good opportunities they could not get the equalizer, leaving the final score 2-1 Kings.

Sunday the Tyees were at home host-ing the Juan de Fuca Grizzlies.

Both teams started the game tentatively feeling each other out until the 10 minute mark when a Griz-zly came quickly off the bench on a line change to create a two-on-one.

A quick shot and the visitors were up one nil. A minute into the second, on a quick pass out from behind the net, third year player Tyler Clark

knotted the score at one apiece.

However Juan de Fuca quickly replied on a turnover in the slot, putting the Griz-zlies ahead again. Penalty shots are somewhat rare but both teams were awarded one in the second period.

The Juan de Fuca goalie turned aside the Tyee shooter.

And then later in the period Tyee goalie Colton Thompson made a great stick save to hold the defi-cit to one.

T he momentum seemed to move towards the Tyees after that save with Campbell River heav-ily outshooting the visitors.

Kurtis Scriba, Scriba made a quick pass out to a wide open Rauser who made no mistake burying the puck to tie the score.

The third period had the Tyees pushing hard and on a power play Rauser notched his second of the game, with the lone assist going to Cole Rennie, putting the Tyees ahead.

However Juan de Fuca got it back on a breakaway tying the game at three.

When the f inal buzzer sounded the Tyees outshot the Grizzlies 39-15, the score tied at three.

Coach Aaron Robert-son was pleased with the bounce back effort Sunday after the lack-luster game in Powell

River the previous day.“The boys realize that if we bring the effort to every game we play, the results will be there,” Robertson said.

“It was tough to end that game with a tie, but we were happy with the effort.”

The last placement game is Oct. 13, 4 p.m. at Rod Brind’Amour Arena against Victo-ria Racquet Club.

The Royal LePAGE Midget Tyees will be participating in the Comox Thanksgiving Invitational tourna-ment this weekend and face teams from the Island and Lower Mainland.

Check on the Camp-bell River Minor Hockey website for scores and game info: campbellriverminor-hockey.com

Campbell River’s youngest rugby players visited Comox on Sun-day for the Vancouver Island fall season’s first Mini Rugby Jamboree and crossed the try line many times to go undefeated against an assortment of players from the Comox Kick-ers and the Cowichan Piggies.

Speed, determination, and a lot of heart were the difference in their successful morning of rugby.

Coaches George Cos-senas and Erin Young noted that one player in particular, Haley Wingert, 10, probably made half the team’s tags, resulting in turn-overs and many offen-sive opportunities for herself and her team-mates.

Tries were made by Wingert, Aidan Lund, Kayla Lund, Tyler Miller and Riory Young.

“As these players

gradually make the transition from tag to tackle defence this season, they have a solid knowledge of low, safe body position on defence, as well as how to use the entire space of the field,” Young says.

“They are beginning

to see the gaps in the opposition’s defence and run through them, or put a teammate in a position to use those gaps. Every single player has a humble confidence and trust in their teammates that is true to the nature of the sport. Rugby is so good

for kids both mentally and physically. Play is continuous - once there is a whistle, the kids automatically realign themselves and the ball keeps moving. There is no time to be standing around.”

The fall Youth Rugby season runs until the

last part of November, then continues in spring from early March to early May. New players, both boys and girls ages 8-17 are always welcome to join. Call Erin Young at 250-202-7642 or check out the website, www.campbellriverrugby.webs.com
