A local busker was wrongfully kicked out when he was performing downtown.
Blaine Waldbauer is a local violin and fiddle teacher. He is 57-years-old and has been playing since he was seven.
He plays classical violin and old time fiddle music, and he said he likes to stand outside of the library because the people that go there seem to like his style of music.
But when Waldbauer was playing his violin near the sidewalk in front of the library, (about 75 feet away from the doors), around noon on Wed. Oct. 12, he was told to leave by a security guard from Safety Net Security.
A female security guard “just came walking down the street and took a beeline right at me and just told me that I’ve got to get out of there,” Waldbauer said.
“She said ‘I’m the security here and there’s a (busking) bylaw in the City of Campbell River.’”
Waldbauer said he told her there is no busking bylaw and that he would not leave.
Ross Milnthorp, the city’s parks, recreation and culture general manager, confirmed Campbell River currently has no busking bylaw in place.
Waldbauer said the guard called the police.
He continued to play music until police arrived and said the guard tried to stop people from seeing him play his
violin.“She actually stood in front
of my case and prevented anybody from approaching me or talking to me,” explained Waldbauer, adding that one women wanted to throw a donation in his case, but the security guard told the woman she couldn’t.
When police showed up and asked Waldbauer to move along, he did, as he said he didn’t want any trouble.
However, he didn’t go down quietly on the issue.
Last Friday he called Safety Net Security and didn’t get much of a response, so he left messages at City Hall hoping for some help.
When the Mirror caught up with Milnthorp on Tuesday afternoon he said he had just received Waldbauer’s message as he was away sick for a few days, and he said the security guard should not have acted in that way.

overzealous security agent, one of our security people downtown,” said Milnthorp. “We’ve called the security company and informed them of the situation and directed them not to do that again.”
Safety Net Security declined comment on the matter.
Waldbauer said he is happy that the city backed him up, and was outside of the library again this past Wednesday playing some old time fiddle music.
A passerby, Melissa Francis, said she goes to the library every Wednesday and often sees Waldbauer playing outside.
His music’s “just beautiful, we look forward to it,” said
Francis of her and her young daughter, adding
that he’s usually dressed up “like he
just came out of a symphony.”

A group of about 80 CUPE city workers showed up at Tuesday’s city council meeting.
CUPE workers want a dealKRISTEN DOUGLAS
CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
CUPE city workers descended on City Hall Tuesday with signs and banners to capture the attention of city council.
About 80 Campbell River city workers jammed into the overflowing lobby just outside the council chambers to pass along information about their plight.
“We want to show solidarity and show city council we are together on this, we are unified,” said Laurence Amy, Vice-President of CUPE 401. “We want to show we do care about the City of Campbell River.”
CUPE workers have been without a contract since 2009 but serious negotiations
between the city and the union have been ongoing since August.
Mediator Debbie Cameron was called in to help both sides negotiate in September but Amy said the union and the city are still between $135-and-$150,000 apart on a four-year deal.
Union members voted 88.3 per cent in favour of strike action more than one month ago but have yet to file 72-hour strike notice.
Amy said that could change if things don’t go well on Oct. 25 when the union and the city are scheduled to meet with the BC Labour Relations Board. The union has already filed for an essential services deal to determine what services CUPE would still have to provide in
the event workers walk off the job.
“We’ve taken a strike vote and if things don’t go well on the 25th we need to establish what essential services are before we can go on strike – things like drinking water,” Amy said.
“The employer thought everything was essential and that’s why the Labour Board is involved.”
Amy said the union wants stability.
“The city is proposing to change hours for a number of employees and the overtime language that applies to these hours,” Amy said. “If they change our hours, they can change our overtime.”
Amy said the union is also looking for inflation-type wage
increases and was particularly upset with the city’s recent hiring of a new safety co-ordinator manager.
“It was like kicking sand in our face,” Amy said. “They filled the position last week – a $70,000 position. We’ve seen a massive increase in city management staff.”
Amy said despite filing for an essential service deal, he’s “very optimistic” a deal can be reached.
CUPE workers provide public services at City Hall, the airport and recreation centres. They are also responsible for public works, waterworks and sewage treatment.
The city was unavailable for comment before the Mirror went to press.

A group of residents and local businesses who say Campbellton is ignored want fund-ing from the city to improve the northern end of town.
Brian Shaw, a mem-ber of Campbellton First’s Steering Com-mittee who re-located his business to Camp-bellton, told council Tuesday night that Campbellton has been historically neglected by city councils.
“I used to be down-town and I can see the difference in black and white and I know you can too,” Shaw said in a presentation to
council. “Campbellton has special character and it should be main-tained and nurtured. It is the entranceway to Campbell River and we want to work with you as a committee, as an association.”
The group also hopes to work with the new council and is hosting an all-candidates meet-ing with a Campbellton focus on Nov.10 at the Eagles Hall at 7 p.m.
Campbellton First approached the cur-rent council this week to ask for up to $40,000, within city resources, to conduct a revitaliza-tion plan.
Shaw said the most important thing for Campbellton is curb
appeal as the area is the first part of the city that most tourists com-ing in off the Inland Island Highway see.
Shaw showed council a slideshow depicting the bare, dusty indus-trial roads of Camp-bellton.
He then showed a slide of the new high-way upgrade in Willow Point.
“I like this look and I’d like to see that in Campbellton too,” Shaw said.
He pointed out that as tourists come in off the Inland Island High-way near Esso there is a highway sign direct-ing motorists to turn right on 16th Avenue to reach the City Centre.
“It’s (16th Avenue) not exactly eye candy, it’s industrial.” Shaw said.
He said in order to attract more people and more business to Campbell River, the city needs to make
some changes to thefirst impression mostpeople get of CampbellRiver.
Coun. Roy Grantasked Shaw if Camp-bellton First had con-sidered for ming abusiness improvementassociation to helpaccess funding, as herecollected a similarassociation in WillowPoint was the drivingforce behind phase oneof that area’s improve-ment project.
Shaw said the groupbelieves it will be moresuccessful operatingunder the current for-mat.
“A business improve-ment association pre-viously in Campbell-ton more or less fellon deaf ears,” Shawsaid. “Right now we’rea lobby group more orless.”
Council received aletter Shaw wrote tocouncil last week ask-ing for funding buttook no further action.

A young Israeli man is safe after spending a night in the bush last weekend.
T h e 2 1 - ye a r - o l d Israeli army officer was visiting family and friends on Quadra Island during his three week vacation, when he got lost.
According to Camp-bell River Search and Rescue (CRSAR) search manager Glen Quarmby, a family friend of the young man had taken a group of four out on his boat and they stopped off at Main Lake to look at an old growth tree, this past Friday after-noon. The group then spread out and spent some time picking mushrooms.
When they yelled to each other to meet back at the boat in a few minutes everyone responded, but the
young officer didn’t show up. Quarmby said he got confused as to where the lake was.
“He thought that the lake was a differ-ent direction,” said Quarmby. “They were only a ten minute walk, it wasn’t very far at all, but the lake wasn’t vis-ible from there.”
The group the man was with started look-ing for him around 2 p.m., and searched until dark before call-ing the RCMP.
CRSAR was called just before 8 p.m. and searched through the night with dogs and ATVs, with no sign of the young man.
At first light an RCMP helicopter went out and spotted a white t-shirt draped over a log at the southern tip of Clear Lake.
“We suspected it was from our subject,” explained Quarmby, who added search teams concentrated
efforts in that area.An ATV unit found
the man walking down an old logging road at around 1 p.m.
Quarmby said the young man was fine, but very cold after his night in the wilder-ness.
“It was a clear moon-lit night, and he didn’t get any sleep; he just did the best he could to try to keep warm, but it was cold he said,” Quarmby said, adding that he had spent the night near Clear Lake.
The man was found about about three kilo-metres from where he got lost, but according to Quarmby, he could have traveled much farther than that as he walked in the wrong direction from the
area he was lost in, but was retracing his steps when he was found.
Quarmby said it’s not unusual for CRSAR callouts in similar situ-ations.
He urges people to stay in a group and make sure that every-one is on the same page.
He also said that even though it can be men-tally hard to stay in one place and not look for a way out, it’s very important.
“Had he sat down as soon as he realized that (he was lost) we would’ve found him earlier, and his family may well have located him that evening, and it wouldn’t have been an issue,” said Quarmby.

The Campbell River Rotary president and a former councillor is vying for a spot on city council.
Patricia Gagnon, President of the Noon Hour Rotary Club and executive director of the Campbell River Community Founda-tion, is eager to return to public office.
“I really love being on city council, being on the forefront and working for the constit-uents,” Gagnon says.
“As a small business owner I understand the business commu-nity and where they’re coming from.”
Gagnon, a mother of two, served on Port Hardy council seven years ago after win-ning a by–election. After spending a year and a half as council-lor, Gagnon spent the next three years as a school trustee for the North Island region. This time around, she hopes to win a spot on Campbell River city council.
“I have the experi-
ence, I have the edu-cation and I have the knowledge,” Gagnon says. “I also have the time and the energy to put in – I’m a keener, I want to do it.”
As a business consul-tant and project man-ager, Gagnon says she has been “extremely successful” in writ-ing grants, a skill that could benefit the city when applying for grant money.
Gagnon says there are new opportunities within the forestry sec-tor, alternative energy sector, aquaculture
and INfilm.“We have everything
it takes to make this city a good place to live and attract not only retirees but young families,” Gagnon says. “I think if you have a council willing to be creative and if we’re open-minded, we have a great opportunity here.”
Gagnon says she would also like to improve communica-tion at City Hall.
“I think it’s really imperative to have clear, definitive roles and responsibilities
for councillors, for the mayor and for city staff,” Gagnon says. “I think there needs to be better communication and city council set-ting the direction for city staff. I think com-munication is lacking – especially with the voters.”
Patricia Gagnon is run-ning for city council.

Ramp Metering
Some time ago I wrote about watching streams of traffi c trying to enter the freeways in and around Vancouver. Platoons of vehicles would move through the acceleration lanes bumper to bumper and everyone would then try and jam themselves into the fi rst gap in the slow lane that they encountered. Aside from being dangerous, the action contributes to the congestion that drivers are unhappy with in the fi rst place because it causes traffi c already on the freeway to slow. Yesterday I had my fi rst experience with ramp metering as my lane and the lane beside me joined a busy freeway. The beginning of each acceleration lane displayed a red light and stop line. Once we had stopped, the lights turned to green just long enough to allow one vehicle to proceed at a time, and the green lights for our adjacent lanes were staggered. This forced everyone to proper speed and alternating spacing so that we joined the heavy stream of traffi c just like the teeth in a zipper. Yes, I was held up momentarily by the red light, but ultimately the average speed on the freeway I entered was higher and my total travel time was lower. I was also safer because ramp metering can be responsible for a 30% reduction in crashes compared to the same freeway without the system. Perhaps this is an idea worth implementing in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia. It only operates when traffi c is heavy, it is something that drivers do not need training to use and the cost of implementation may be offset by savings in travel time and a reduction in insurance claims.
The author is a retired constable with many years of traffi c enforcement experience. To comment or learn more, please visit www.drivesmartbc.ca.

Jason Price could make history on Nov. 19.
If he is elected to city council, Price says he will be the first ever First Nations Campbell River councillor.
“I see it as a benefit,” says Price, who is also a councillor for the Campbell River Indian Band. “The city always says it’s going to work with First Nations but they never do.”
City council recently met with all three Campbell River First Nations but it took nearly three years for the meeting to happen.
“Before that it’s just been people fighting,” Price says.
“The city hires con-sultants to come work with us but I don’t see the point in hiring high-priced consul-tants for work they can do themselves. Just
come down and talk to us.”
Price, 29, says he can help bridge the gap and form partnerships that the city needs to move forward.
“No one’s talking about working with First Nations and First Nations are key players in town. First Nations were key in attending the Sustainable Offi-cial Community Plan open houses and I’ve noticed a lot of people talk about working on waterfront develop-ment. Well, the city can’t do that on their own, they only own a small chunk. It has to develop relationships with property own-ers, including First Nations.”
Price says the most important thing for the city to do is attract new business to replace the loss of Campbell Riv-er’s largest employer.
“The main thing is to get people to come here
because we’ve got to move on,” Price says. “We can’t just sit and cry about the mill for the next three years. We’ve got to create a business friendly envi-ronment because we have to compete with Courtenay, Comox and Nanaimo. Why are peo-ple going there and not here when we’re better situated than Comox?”
Price, who sits on several city task forces already as well as the museum board, says part of the solution is in tourism. He says if people visit the area first, they will be more inclined to relocate
and bring their busi-ness here.
He says there also needs to be more options for young people. He would like to see a second arena built to accommodate more kids.
“We need to be able to accommodate all the new children we’re try-ing to bring into town so they’re not waking up at 2 a.m. to prac-tice. There’s just not enough ice space for everyone to practice,” Price says.
He says funding could possibly come from the $30 million Premier Christy Clark recently set aside for recreation projects.
Price says the city needs a new feel and some fresh faces.
“I’d like to pick my own future because I’m the one living it,” Price says.
“It’s all about making people proud of Camp-bell River.”
Jason Price hopes to make history as a city councillor.

‘Wisdom teeth and whether or not they need to be removed is a common question at our offi ce. If there is not room for wisdom teeth to erupt into the mouth it is commonly suggested that they be removed. If left impacted or stuck they can cause decay on the second molar, a cyst can develop around them or they can lead to infection if the gum tissue around them collects food and plaque. If taken out at an early age healing occurs faster and future problems can be avoided. Call our offi ce for a consultation should you have any questions about wisdom teeth and whether they should be removed.’

KRISTEN DOUGLASCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Accusations were flying and some tem-pers flaring at a public hearing Tuesday night at City Hall.
Five people spoke out about Allan Edie’s proposal to re-zone his property to allow out-door storage of boats, RVs and other vehicles in the back parking lot of the Campbell River Common shopping mall.
Most of the mall’s tenants support Edie, owner of Campbell River Common, but his competitors are con-cerned about nearby Nunns Creek.
Walter Jakeway, owner of Campbell River Storage, said he toured the Nunns Creek area with a Reg-istered Professional, knowledg eable in Riparian Area Regula-tions. He said Nunns Creek has a 30-metre riparian zone on each side of the waterway to protect the fish habitat. Jakeway said as it stands, portions of the mall parking lot encroach about 20 metres into the Ripar-ian Reserve Zone.
“This means that any uncontrolled dis-charges within that area could possibly impact the health of the creek and the riparian habitat,”
Jakeway said. “Large RVs, boats and other vehicles operated and maintained by whom-ever pose a potential source of toxic mate-rial and contamination to the fish.”
Jakeway said the Nunns Creek reserve is already being squeezed from both sides by com-mercial activity and he doesn’t want to see further harm to sensi-tive fish stocks in the Campbell River area. He urged city council to conduct a full envi-ronmental risk assess-ment before allowing an outdoor storage facility.
However, Edie said the city tests the water in Nunns Creek twice a year and hires profes-sionals to clean up the area.
Ron Neufeld, the city’s manager of oper-ations, confirmed the city would not face any liability if it allowed the outdoor storage.
“There is a develop-ment permit process and all streams are identified as develop-ment permit areas,” Neufeld said. “A series of actions require a development permit process.”
However, Neufeld said Edie’s re-zoning proposal would not trigger the process because there is no physical change to the property being pro-
posed. Edie said Jakeway
should have done his homework and tested the water before fling-ing around accusa-tions.
“To Walter – smoke and mirrors,” Edie said. “To you, Walter, I say this is lip ser-vice, hypocrisy at its worst.”
Harold Long, a prop-erty manager at the 1180 Ironwood com-plex which houses the Access Centre, also took shots at Edie’s proposal.
“The vehicles will all leak pollutants and there’s nothing to stop them from running into the creek,” Long said. “There’s no form of catchment. To be putting used units in an area like that is just asking for disaster.”
But Edie said there is no cause for concern.
“If anything did leak, it’s not going to migrate to Nunns Creek – I’ve tested it,” Edie said. “There’s a negative grade away from the building. It’s ridiculous some of the comments.”
Supporters of Edie’s storage facility said the critics only seem to have their best inter-ests in mind.
“Mr. Jakeway said that Campbell River should be more wel-coming to new business coming to town but
after what I’m hearing tonight, I feel this only applies to businesses not in competition with him,” said resi-dent Val Larson. “Mr. Jakeway was quite smart to jump on the environmental issue, however these boats and RVs will also leak on the driveways.”
Terry Somerville, 88.7 Spirit FM general manager and Campbell River Common tenant, said he appreciates the work that Edie has already done in antici-pation of an outdoor storage facility.
“When I first moved in there last winter, the back was not secure and there was garbage dumped in the parking lot regularly. There was also questionable activities going on in the parking lot in the evening,” Somerville said. “Since the fence has gone up there’s been a large improve-ment. It’s completely secure and safe. It looks like a whole dif-ferent area.”
Edie said the instal-lation of security cam-eras and a locked in compound will ensure any vehicles parked in storage will be pro-tected.
Edie’s storage pro-posal is slated to be on Tuesday’s council agenda for discussion and possibly third reading.

OpinionOpinionWHO WE ARE: The Campbell River Mirror is published every Wednesday and Friday by Black Press Ltd., 104-250 Dogwood St., Campbell River, B.C. V9W 2X9. Telephone: 250-287-9227; Fax: 250-287-3238. EDITOR: Alistair Taylor
Texting and driving can be deadly. Ditto for talking and driving. And even though it’s now against the law, many B.C. motorists still haven’t got the message
about distracted driving.Need proof ? A recent ICBC-commissioned
survey found that half of respondents witnessed other drivers texting and talking on hand-held devices “several times a day.” But it seems nobody really wants to
admit it. Only 16 per cent of those same respondents answered yes to using a hand-held while driving over the past year.
And those who do get caught red-handed usually have a good excuse.
During a September traffic blitz aimed at distracted drivers in B.C., police handed out more than 3,500 tickets and heard plenty of excuses. Recently ICBC distributed a list of the top 10 excuses drivers offered up, which ranged from ludicrous (“But it was an emergency call to my wedding planner!”) to plainly defiant (“This is a bogus law”).
But as any traffic cop will tell you, a distracted driver is a dangerous driver.
And as smartphones become more ubiquitous and more text-weened teens get behind the wheel, the streets will become even more dangerous.
So, what will it take to get drivers to put down their cells?
Likely, it will take more educational campaigns and incrementally stiffer fines, just as it did with the battle against drinking and driving, to get drivers to rethink their driving habits.
Here’s a sobering stat that could be used to kick off the next awareness initiative aimed at texting and taking drivers:
Every year, distracted driving results in more than 117 deaths and 1,400 serious injuries in this province.
See, there really is no excuse for driving distracted.

Good point: RestaurantsI recently moved here from Alberta, and have fallen
in love with the scenery, the lifestyle, and the warm people of Campbell River. Every day I feel as though I have won a lottery to be able to live in a destination like this.
One thing I have found extremely disappointing, though, is the lack of flavour and creativity in many of the local restaurants. How many times have I gone to an “ethnic” restaurant here and been assaulted with bland, salty, flavourless food?
It seems no matter who I speak to about this, I hear a common theme: To get a good meal you need to drive to Courtenay.
Well, recently I ate at Akroplis Kuzina, a new Greek restaurant at Merecroft Village, and I am pleased to report that they offer fresh, delicious, flavourful food. From the delectable chai latte and hot chocolate, to the scrumptuous spanikopita and sundried tomato/feta dip, followed by the mouth-watering chicken souvlaki and fresh-tasting sides....each morsel was savoured and throughly enjoyed.
Bravo to Peter and his crew (who provided excellent service) for bringing a restaurant to my newly adopted city that we can be proud of and enjoy. They are doing brisk business this week, and I am sure as word gets out they will continue to do well. My husband and I will be returning, and will certainly be telling everyone we know!

Inquisitive, mischievous and highly intelligent, crows belong to the corvid family of birds that also include ravens, jays and magpies. Vancouver Island is home to the northwestern crow which is found along the pacific coastline from Puget Sound north to Alaska. Crows are often mistaken for ravens but they are easily distinguished from each other by their overall body shape and size; the ravens being much larger than the crows. In flight they can be identified by the shape of their tails – crows have square tails while ravens’ are wedge-shaped. Crows sport sleek lustrous black plumage which enables them to easily recognize other crows during the day and helps provides them with the
perfect nocturnal camouflage when they gather together to roost. Crows are equally at home in urban and rural areas and their populations continue to thrive due to their sagacity and capacity to survive. Omnivores by nature, they are opportunistic feeders dining on a huge variety of food, and are also accomplished scavengers and will use their “mobbing” tactics to chase other birds away from stealing their food. Highly intelligent, crows are great problem solvers and they have good memories when it comes to a favourite food source. On more than one occasion I have had my lunch stolen from my golf bag when it sat unattended beside a tee box, one even unzipped the pocket! Other examples of their tenacity can be
seen at this time of year when the nuts are ripe on the trees; the crows will pick a nut then drop it from the necessary height onto a road where it will crack open upon impact or be crushed by a passing car. These birds have also mastered the art of opening shellfish by hovering above the rocky beach dropping the shells from several feet in the air to the ground below. Crows are very protective of their young and will often displace another bird for their nest. They will live together as a family for a year passing on many of their hunting skills to the sub adults. At this time of the year they can be seen in large flocks and will often chase off any birds which they consider to be a threat, this social interaction
and communication has also contributed to their proliferation. As nurturing as crows are to their own young they are very destructive to other birds robbing their nests of eggs and hatchlings. Unfortunately as fascinating as their behaviour is, many people harbour a distinct dislike to crows, finding their aggressive behaviour offensive. Human harassment of wildlife is not very common but it does occur especially when birds or animals are in pursuit of their normal prey. No one likes to see an eagle pluck a baby duckling from a pond or a hawk snag a pigeon in mid air but this is how they hunt and survive. It is, however,
PUBLISHER: Zena [email protected]

this is how they hunt and survive. It is, however, quite disturbing when there is evidence of deliberate injury from human interference.
Last week M.A.R.S. received a crow that was found on the ground unable to fly; on examination the crow’s tail and wing feathers had been intentionally cut.
It is unknown why anyone would do this maybe they wanted to keep a pet crow but when it became too much to care for, let it go.
We can only wonder what the motive was. It appeared the crow had been in human company for some time as it hopped to the front of its cage looking for food, at the same time it was aggressive and appeared to be frustrated.
Part of the message that we want to reinforce is that wildlife may not be kept in captivity
under the wildlife act and only facilities with permits may rehabilitate wildlife.
Like many wildlife species crows can
become pests but it is usually because we provide them with easy meals.
Please do not put garbage bags out on
the curb the night before garbage pickup, please put them in a can with a lid.
A flock of crows will pull a bag apart in a few minutes and strew garbage over a wide area.
In gardens with fruit trees they can also be pests and flexible netting, scare crows or water devices can be used as deterrents, but these crafty creatures soon figure out that nothing has moved or given chase, therefore they ignore them.
On a final note, crows and their relations are known carriers of West Nile Virus and avian pox
and if you find a number of dead birds in one place please advise our centre; always wear gloves if handling dead crows and dispose of them in the garbage.
Once a crow has been quarantined for two weeks it will be sent to a special crow rehabilitator; providing there is no permanent feather damage it may be releasable but being habituated to humans may prevent this.
For more information or to report injured wildlife please call 1-800-304-9968 and follow our cases on our website www.wingtips.org

With the municipal election on Nov. 19, this is the time for each of us to ask what kind of community do we envision.
Campbell Riverites will have the chance next month to ask all the city council candidates where they stand on the arts.
The arts are one sector that is emerging as a leader in creative economic and social change. Communities across the country, facing great transition, building strong creative economies and progressive cultural tourism strategies.
What does this mean for Campbell River? Where do the current candidates stand on matters of culture, heritage and the arts? Do they have a sound understanding of what the potential role of the arts is in community development? On Mon., Nov. 7, the community is invited to an All Candidates Forum to discuss ‘The Future Role of the Arts in Campbell River’ at Rivercity Players, 1080 Hemlock St., at 7 p.m. This is an opportunity to ask both mayoral and council candidates what their vision is for a Creative Campbell River and outline how the arts, heritage and cultural sector of Campbell River fits within the overall future development of our city. The forum will be led by moderator Ken Blackburn of the Campbell River Arts Council.
“It is important for the community to
hear how candidates envision creating Campbell River as a leading city of the future,” Blackburn said. “A well-informed citizenry is the key foundation to
progressive democracy. Let’s hear what they have to say before voting.” For more information contact Linda Von Zuben at 923-4523 or Blackburn at 923-0213.

Timberline teacher Dave Coad was presented with a Prime Minister’s Award for Teaching Excellence last week but was quick to pay tribute to his students for making the best of the tools they’ve been given.
“They do all the hard work but I get to light the match,” Coad said after John Duncan, MP for Vancouver Island North, presented his award. Coad received the award for the 2D and 3D animation program he developed at Timberline.
“Over the years Dave has been on the cutting edge of utilizing technology in the personalization of education for Campbell River students. He has tirelessly and selflessly worked to put Timberline Secondary and School District 72 on the map as a leader in 2D and 3D computer animation,” said Tom Longridge, Superintendent of School District 72. The Certificate of Achievement award is worth $1,000 and is given directly to the recipient. Timberline will also receive a certificate recognizing its support of Coad’s achievement.
“I am thrilled today to acknowledge the outstanding contribution to learning made by Dave Coad,” said Duncan. “With the children and youth of Vancouver Island North
benefitting from his passion and creativity, Canada’s future is in good hands.”
Coad also paid
tribute to his colleagues at Timberline.
“I build on their foundation,” said Coad who has been creative over the years. He helped fund equipment and software purchases for his program by holding summer animation and computer camps. He has raised $80,000 over the years through students taking those computer camps. Coad said he is proud of all of the work his students of all abilities produce. “Dave’s world is a very good world,” he said.

Hilchey Road residents worry a multi-family development
will destroy the atmosphere of their neighbourhood.
Alan Barnes of Vancouver, the agent for owner Welsh Holdings, wants to
re-zone his single-family property to allow a 22-unit apartment building.
Nearby residents have numerous concerns about the
development.“I do recognize this
is part of a growing city, but I have plenty of concerns,” said neighbour Robin Cahill. “It will affect
my property value and the privacy that I now enjoy in my back yard. This proposed development will forever change the complexion of my
neighbourhood.“This property
has some extremely healthy beautiful mature tress and they should not be removed on the whim of a
developer that doesn’t live in our city.”
Liz Lightbourne, planning tech for the city, said the property for the proposed development is within a residential area that is predominantly single-family housing. She said the applicant of the project wants to build a 22-unit apartment building within three separate buildings of two storeys each. Lightbourne said the development supports the city’s goal of neighbourhood diversity.
“Staff feel the introduction of a multiple family complex at this location will assist in providing this housing variety,” she said.
Local residents disagree.
Val and Bruce Graham worry about traffic and road conditions.
“My big concern is if the rezoning is approved the increase of traffic would be very unsafe for the children of our area. The intersection of Galerno and Hilchey Road is already a nightmare,” said the Grahams in a letter to the city. But the city says Hilchey road is a only minor arterial road not yet at capacity.
“Based on the busiest peak hour rate, the development site will add 15 new trips to the road network,” Lightbourne said. “This will be an addition of seven new trips. Given this, staff has no concerns regarding the proposed development in regards to traffic generation.”
Scott Mcinnis, who lives next door the proposed development, is worried about flooding.
“My backyard turns into a swamp each year, and as mentioned, there’s no way of retaining the large trees on the property,” Mcinnis said. “If you take away those trees there will be even more water on my yard.”
Lightbourne said the concerns raised will be addressed at the building permit stage. The re-zoning proposal is slated to go before council on Tuesday.

A group of Timberline students are preparing to move into their new home.
Recently, the brand-new Ed and May Mailman Life Skills House was unveiled and eager Skills for Life students paid a visit to their new home away from home.
The house, which has a living room, kitchen, bathroom and one bedroom, is where students with physical and mental disabilities will learn the skills they need to one day live on their own.
The single-storey, burgundy and white painted home sits atop a grassy hill just outside the doors of North Island College and was officially opened with a ribbon cutting ceremony two weeks ago.
“I’m just overwhelmed, this has gone beyond any of our expectations of how this was first conceived because people led with their heart,” said Tom Longridge, superintendent of schools.
“This building was
built sooner than expected and better than anticipated.”
The brainchild of the project, Timberline career facilitator Diana Camerin, was able
to make her dream a reality when she reached out to former Timberline student Amanda Raleigh.
Raleigh, the daughter of Kris
Mailman, owner of Seymour Pacific Developments, got her whole family on board to help build and fully furnish the Life Skills House, a project which
quickly became something close to their hearts.
“My dad had a brother with undiagnosed special needs and he passed away at a
young age in a car accident because he was undiagnosed,” Raleigh said.
“We’ve always looked for a community project that we could get
behind as a company, so this was perfect timing.”
The Life Skills House broke ground near the end of May and the building was built over the summer.
“The whole process is absolutely amazing to me, two months ago this was all solid ground so to see it come full circle so quickly and to see how many members of the community got on board was so special,” Raleigh said.
The house will help teach students the basic life skills that people use in everyday life such as folding and washing clothes, preparing meals and even learning how to entertain guests.
Students won’t live in the house but will spend a few hours each day in the home.
The first group to use the facility will be students from Timberline’s Skills for Life class but later on it will be available to the community for rental sessions.
The Timberline business class is expected to run and maintain the house.
Skills for Life students get a new home
Ed Mailman, centre, cuts the ribbon to officially open the new Life Skills House at Timberline which is named in his honour. The house will help disabled students learn the skills they need to live on their own.

City council and mayoralty candidates are invited to participate in an all-candidates business forum, hosted by the Campbell River and District Chamber of Commerce.
The forum, open to the public, will take place Oct. 26 at the Tidemark Theatre with city council candidates taking questions from 5:30 p.m. to 6:45 p.m. and mayoralty candidates taking questions from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. The forum will be moderated by Dave Reynolds.
“Decisions made at the municipal level have a powerful impact on our lives and on the business climate in the city and region,” said Colleen Evans, Chamber Executive Director. “At our forum we want candidates to focus on what we define as the pillars of good governance, specifically their plans to keep tax increases and spending within our means, to save and plan for future infrastructure needs, to communicate municipal business clearly, to deliver
services efficiently and effectively and to create a business friendly environment.”
In a recent Chamber survey more than 90 per cent of those polled said their top priority is having a business friendly environment in Campbell River that is supportive of business success.
“In this regard, we look forward to hearing candidates’ views on the important issues of business retention and economic investment in the community,”
Evans says.City council
candidates will make a brief one-minute opening statement. This will be followed by a series of questions posed by moderator Reynolds.
In the mayoralty forum, candidates will make two-minute opening statements followed by a series of Chamber questions. There will also be an opportunity for members of the audience to pose questions. These questions should be submitted in written form.

Brenda Leigh seeks re-election for the sev-enth time as Area D regional director in the upcoming elections on Nov. 19.
Leigh said she brings, along with her dynamic style, knowledge, edu-cation, experience and skills to her work.
She wants to con-tinue providing “excel-lent public service” to the people of Area D and the region.
She said she is incred-ibly focused and has led her constituents through some very complex issues.
Leigh wants to con-tinue working on pro-viding regional ser-vices such as sewers, hospitals, libraries, parks, recreation and other enhancements, while ensuring taxes are kept under control and creating a climate of security and stabil-ity.
“I stand on my 18 year record as a community leader,” said Leigh.
“In 2011, I managed to lower taxes by an average of $176 per $100,000 of assessment
so people are so grate-ful that I am standing for re-election. They know I will protect their interests.”
Leigh has lived in her home in Stories Beach since 1989, where she raised her two sons.
The family has been active in the com-munity, especially in sports like football, hockey, lacrosse, street hockey, and soccer.
According to Leigh, there is no underes-timating the positive effect of youth sports on our next genera-tion.
She said she will keep the community between Oyster River and Ocean Grove
financially stable, and she always will adhere to the community’s wishes, as she has in the past.
“I don’t believe I’ve ever ‘dropped the ball’ on any issue or missed a single meeting in all this time,” said Leigh.
As well as being a regional director for the Strathcona and Comox Valley districts, Leigh chairs the Black Creek-Oyster Bay ser-vices committee.
And she is also a member of the local hospital board, solid waste management, and an executive on the Vancouver Island Re g i o n a l L i b r a r y board.

RENÉE ANDORCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Campbell River’s growing film and tele-vision industry is about to get a boost.
After she moved to Campbell River two and a half years ago, for mer Coronation Street star Jackie Chadwick s tar ted teaching drama and musical theatre classes to children here.
She also had a cast-ing agency and theatre company in the U.K., and is now expand-ing this part of her company to Campbell River.
“From what I can see here of the cast-ing world is absolutely brimming,” said Chad-wick.
“There’s a lot of mov-ies being shot in the region and there’s just some great opportuni-ties.
“If I let that pass by, then some of the kids and the adults that I work with would be missing out, so I want to get my teeth into there.”
Jacqueline Chad-wick Management and Jacqueline Chadwick Theatre Company are opening in Campbell River today.
Jacqueline Chadwick Management accepts models and dancers, as well as actors.
While Chadwick does not charge fees unless a person gets work, chil-dren are encouraged to attend her drama classes for training,
and the company has photographers who can take head shots.
Chadwick said she sees real talent in some of the Campbell River kids that she’s taught.
“I don’t think I’d have gone into this if I didn’t think there was some real poten-tial, and maybe some wasted opportunities passing by some of the
kids, and that’s the gap that I hope to fill here,” said Chadwick.
Adult actors must have about eight years of experience before Chadwick will take them on.
However, Jacqueline Chadwick Theatre Company is an option for adult actors with potential talent but no experience, as Chad-wick said it’s hard for these adults to get auditions without the experience.
“It’s a difficult situ-ation for someone who is an adult that hasn’t had training as a child…and they have talent and they want to break into the indus-try,” she said.
“Unless you have a professional CV, you’re
not going to get the audition as an adult.” The theatre company is a profit share, so all actors receive a share of the profits the pro-duction makes, while gaining some experi-ence at the same time.

Vancouver Island riders raring to goVancouver Island
Riders Snowboard club is busy preparing for another amazing year on Mt. Washington. With a number of former VI athletes now competing provincially and nationally, the riders are looking to fill the development and competitive squads and keep the club moving in a positive direction.
“We have some incredibly gifted athletes on this Island and the VI club and coaches are excited to watch our alumni and competitive athletes move on to new challenges and higher level competition,” said a release from VI.
The club has recently developed a strong female development/competitive program which is setting a new standard for emerging female freestyle
snowboarding athletes on our mountain.
“With the recent announcement by the International Olympic Committee to include the immensely popular spectator sport of Freestyle Snowboarding in the 2014 Olympics, there has been quite a buzz in the air.
“This is the domain our athletes have been training in for the past five years and this is very exciting news for the snowboard community,” said the release.
VI Riders is a non-profit, fully sanctioned, freestyle oriented snowboard club whose primary goal is to encourage progression in a fun and focused environment.
For more information go to www.viriders.org or contact Kelsa or Dave Donald at 250-923-0523. Snowboarders are gearing up for another season on Mount Washington.

The KLP Construction Peewee A Tyees closed the book on the tiering road last weekend with a pair of games.
On Saturday the Tyees were in Victoria to take on the Juan de Fuca Grizzlies. Tyee Ethan Ouellette was stellar in goal and even took a shot right on his cage that dented the wires a bit. Damian Rennie earned the team hard hat for his efforts in a 6-0 loss.
The Tyees didn’t have long to wait before getting back on the ice as they hosted the Saanich Braves on Sunday in the last tiering round game for both teams. Tyee goalie Nic Ordano’s good friends, Post and Crossbar helped to keep it scoreless early. Seth Parker scored on the Tyee’s first shot on goal, assisted by Rennie. Saanich responded and the first period ended with the teams tied at one. The Braves took the lead 2-1 early in the second. The Tyees replied with a goal from Lukas Lund, assisted by Rennie and Todd Campbell to go into the ice clean knotted at two. The Braves
applied pressure and scored to take a 3-2 lead early in the third period.The Tyees kept working hard and were rewarded with a power play goal by Rennie, assisted by Lund and Dawson Frank. Saanich tried to battle back but the Tyees kept their feet moving and
drew a late penalty for a check to the head. Campbell scored on the power play, assisted by Will McLean and Olivia Knowles. Saanich pulled their goalie for an extra attacker but to no avail as the Tyees won 4-3. Parker was rewarded with the team hard hat.
The No. 1 Auto Body Bantam A Tyees completed their tiering round schedule with an impressive 5-1 victory over the Cowichan Valley Capitals Sunday afternoon at Rod Brind’Amour Arena.
Travis Goodwin and Grady McInnes gave Campbell River an early 2-0 advantage but Cowichan Valley cut the lead in half, scoring late in the opening period. After key saves by netminder Ryan Smith, McInnes restored the two goal cushion with his second of the game to make it 3-1 after 40 minutes. The Tyees dominated the final frame and rounded out the scoring with markers by Cole Rennie and Sage Lim.
The Tyees weren’t so fortunate on Saturday, losing 4-1 to the Clippers in Nanaimo. Goodwin scored the
lone goal for Campbell River. Despite the loss head coach Peter Martin says he is satisfied with the direction his team is headed. “We went through the tiering round with three wins and two losses,” said Martin. “Outside of the game against Victoria Racquet Club, which was our first of the tiering round, I think we’ve been pretty solid and made good progress. The Nanaimo game was a nice bench mark for us. Even though we lost I thought we played quite well.” The regular season schedule will be released by the end of the month and Martin expects his team to be seeded in Division 1.
