CITY HONOURS THOSEWHO MADE A DIFFERENCE

The City of Campbell River handed out stewardship awards for some very deserving citizens Sunday at the Haig-Brown Festival.

This is the 12th year that the city has called on the community to sub-mit their nominations to this annual awards program in order to recognize

the effort made by volunteers, groups and businesses towards environmental excellence in Campbell River.

The recipients, in their own unique way, have helped make a difference in the lives of their fellow residents and have also helped the planet as a whole. For more on the awards see page 4.

It is going to cost more to get rid of your garbage.

The Comox Strathcona waste manage-ment (CSWM) service board of directors has approved a new fee structure for the disposal

of waste at the Comox Valley and Campbell River waste management centres.

The fees become effective January 1, 2014. The increase from these tipping fees will be

applied to capital improvements and the long term care costs of the regional waste manage-ment facilities.

“The board approved an increase for muni-

cipal solid waste from $90 per metric tonne to $100 per metric tonne and construction and demolition waste from $100 per metric tonne to $110 per metric tonne,” said Tom Boatman, CVRD’s manager of solid waste services. “Area residents dropping off loads weigh-ing not more than 60 kilograms will still be charged the $4 minimum.”

The CSWM service manages over 100,000 tonnes of waste and recycled material and oversees a number of diversion and educa-tion programs.

For more information on the current schedule of fees as well as those included in the updated bylaw, visit www.cswm.ca/fees .

Waste disposal charges to go up Jan. 1, 2014

It’s not known if this worker is allowed to bring a fishing rod with him as he checks water levels on the Campbell River. The measurements taken are for the Water Survey of Canada.

The wind and rain warnings have been lift-ed following the first major storm of the sea-son that caused power outages for over 18,000 residents on the North Island, Quadra Island and Cortes Island.

Environment Canada’s storm warning had said the low pressure centre was to make landfall along Central Vancouver Island last Sunday evening.

Environment Canada issued a rain and wind warning for Sunday night, warning of winds up to 100 km/hr and heavy rains bringing up to 30 mm of precipitation throughout the region.

The strongest winds were recorded at 105 km/h in the middle of the Georgia Strait.

At 8:30 p.m. Sunday the BC Hydro power outage list reported 18,171 homes or businesses without power on

Vancouver Island, and by noon Monday that had been reduced to 513 yet to be restored.

The wind gusts caused cancellation of sev-eral BC Ferry runs between Vancouver Island, Powell River and Tsawwassen but the ferry corporation added a number of additional sail-ings for Monday morning. At 6 a.m., there was a two-sailing wait for vehicles for departures from Tsawwassen to Swartz Bay and a one-sailing wait in the other direction.

After a long career spent at the Campbell River RCMP Detachment, Cst. S. (Safety) Bear, retired from active duty. On hand at his retirement function were representatives from the Campbell River Kinsmen Club who were responsible for bringing the detachment’s new safety advocate, Cpl. Monty S. (Safety) Bear, to Campbell River. The Campbell River RCMP would like to thank the Campbell River Kinsmen Club for their generous donation. In the photo from left are Cst. Krista Wallis, Kinsman Don Larsen, Cpl. Monty S. Bear, Cst. S. Bear, Kinsman Rob Harris and Staff Sgt. Troy Beauregard.

CST. SAFETY BEAR RETIRES

The Province is enhancing economic opportunities and forest stewardship on Cortes Island by granting a local group a community forest agreement, Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Minister Steve Thomson announced Monday.

The agreement was granted to the Cortes Forestry

General Partnership, made up of the Klahoose First Nation and the Cortes Community Forest Cooperative, and cov-ers a 3,775.5-hectare area on Cortes Island.

Under the agreement, the partners can harvest up to 13,600 cubic metres of timber a year.

A community forest is a

forestry operation managed by a local government, com-munity group or First Nation for the benefit of the entire community.

Community forest agree-ments are long-term, area-based tenures designed to encourage community involvement in, and manage-ment of, local forests.

The City of Campbell River handed out its 12th annual Stewardship Awards Sunday at the Haig-Brown festival.

This year’s recipients are:

Air Quality/Alternative Transportation: •Clean Sweep Chimneys (Air Quality)

Clean Sweep Chimneys was chosen this year for their two- year commitment to the City of Campbell River provincial woodstove exchange program to deliver Burn It Smart pro-gramming. Their volunteer participation has included radio interviews, presenting even-ing workshops and making home visits as part of the City’s Master Burner program.

Pesticide Free/Urban Agriculture•Chelsea Holley (Laughing Willow Community Garden)

Chelsea Holley is the recipient for her four years of commitment as the coordin-ator of the Laughing Willow Community Garden and she was also nominated in this category last year. Holley was instrumental from the begin-ning, developing the concept

and liaising with the many community partners including Greenways Land Trust and the City. Her ability to work with new gardeners, trouble shoot arising issues and bring about positive outcomes is a tribute to her character and a benefit to the community.

Water/Energy Conservation:•Loeb Family (Energy Challenge)

The Loeb family (Jeremy, Jennifer, Gideon, Hannah and Daniel) are this year’s recipients receiving two nominations; indi-vidual family members (Jerry and Gideon) were also nomin-ated in other categories. The Loebs enthusiastically partici-pated in the 30-day City Energy Challenge reducing their energy consumption by over 50% from week one to week four of the competition. They also organ-ized a lights out event at their workplaces and created a very impressive bike powered blend-er. While impressive, their low impact accomplishments have a long history and it is worth noting they have been living car free for over a year. They’ve taken canoes camping by bike and grocery shop by bike. Gideon and father Jerry have

logged 2,700 km each to school over 900 days (and counting).

Habitat Protection/Creation:•Clay Carlson

Clay Carlson has recently retired from his teaching pos-ition at Timberline School. He was nominated both last year and this year for his work to create a Stewardship Day experience at the school with speakers, films, activities and field trips where students get hands on experience with experts and stewardship groups. This is no small undertaking considering the number of teachers, students and outside participants. The success of the annual event, now three years strong, is a reflection of his stewardship ethic and building a community conservation ethic is no small feat in today’s cul-ture of consumerism and focus on the individual.

Waste Reduction:•Kathleen Sharpe and Bud Logan.

Bud and Kathleen received multiple nominations this year for their efforts to address illegal dumping in our com-munity, in our backyards, rec-reational areas, green spaces

and parks. In June 2013 the group cleaned a section of Duncan Bay Logging Road removing 21 tonnes of garbage from the road-side, down the banks and along Kingfisher Creek. Future sites for clean up are being explored as well as ongoing media cover-age and exposure of polluters, and the iden-tification of dumping sites. Currently about 20 to 25 volunteers participate in these efforts.

Youth Special Recognition: •Ecole Phoenix Grade 6/7, teacher Dionne Lapointe-Bakota.

The Ecole Phoenix Grade 6/7 class under the leadership

of Dionne has been studying shoreline /river ecosystems as part of their curriculum. For an action project, they adopted a local beach in front of the Maritime Heritage Centre tak-ing note of the many plants and animals. They also hosted a booth at this year’s Ocean’s Day in June, completed a shoreline cleanup and they’ve contacted Greenways Land Trust to host their own broom bash. There is nothing as valuable as pay-ing attention to the community green spaces that are literally on our door step. Dionne inspires Quadra Island naturalists through her contribution to the Junior Naturalists program.

Environmental Excellence: •Leona Adams.

In addition to her plaque, Leona’s name will be added to the larger plaque that hangs in City Hall recognizing outstand-ing environmental achievement. One of her nominators noted Leona’s number of years of service as “decades” and the span of activities she is involved in is inspiring. Leona’s is the president of the Campbell River Environmental Committee. In this role she tackles very com-plex and technical water quality reports in order to protect the Quinsam Watershed. She has coordinated the Campbell River shoreline clean-up with other partners, participated in broom bashes for years and attends many city-led meetings seeking community input on everything from OCPs to storm water plan-ning and development applica-tions. For the past year, Leona is also leading the charge to address the extensive habitat damage caused by non-migra-tory, non-native Canada Geese in the Campbell River estuary. Another one of her nominators described Leona as not only talking about protection but also taking action. She is passion-ate and no detail is too small to escape her vigilant eye.

— from speaking notes by Stacey Larsen the community stewardship advisor with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans.

The second “Drive 4UR Community/School Program, Driven By (Steve Marshall) Ford” took place on Aug. 10, and for every test drive that took place, Ford made a donation of $20 to the fund. The fund targets charitable organizations, groups, teams and worthwhile community causes that are often underfunded. The Campbell River and District Association for Community Living teamed up with Steve Marshall Ford for the community event this year, and their band, “Inclusion” will use the donation to support their travel and performances at local school assemblies. In the photo are, back from left, SMF’s Karl Ebdrup, Benjamin Coyle, Shawn Edwards, Henry (Ford) Albrecht at the CRSCL’s Greg Hill.

The only refuge is in humility, an utterly convinced, completely self-effacing humility before the complexity of truth and the even greater complexity of human nature, in the solemn certainty that complete impartiality and complete honesty are beyond the power of man, no matter how he may strain for them. In this there is a measure of help towards the proper balance of head and heart and law that yields a fair decision. - Roderick Haig-Brown

Our View

For a few days on my summer vaca-tion all I did was hang out with my daughter Neala and her two teenage friends Loren and Julia.

Well, I didn’t really hang out. I was the only one with a driver’s licence. And a car. And I was the only one with a wal-let. It was great. I took them swimming to various locations, took them for lunch once or twice, treated them to ice cream cones and basically sat on the sidelines while they did their thing. The only time they really noticed me was when it was time to go somewhere or time for a treat. Except on one occasion.

Between swimming trips one day we were all in the living room. Neala and Julia on the computer, Loren on the ipad. I was relaxing in the corner of the living room with a book.

Then from the computer my daughter beckoned, “Dad! This boxer looks just like you!”

“It does Neil, come and look,” chirped in Julia.

I expected to find a picture of George Foreman on the screen but instead there was a profile shot of a young boxer who obviously hadn’t spent as much time with Mr. Foreman’s amazing grill as I had.

I looked and waited for the punch line. The girls obviously had something

up their sleeve.But, no, they went on to explain why

this young fellow looked like me. I tem-pered the flattery with the fact that all boxers, with head gear on and adjusted tightly beneath the chin, look something alike.

I was willing to leave it at that, but my daughter decided to show her friends some pictures of me boxing when I was younger. They were, of course, in black and white. As I looked at those pictures I noticed something about some of the photos that seemed off. For instance there were shadowed areas on my stomach and my forearms and shoulders. Taking a closer look, I realized they were abs and biceps!

As the girls put the photos away and went back to doing whatever they were doing I snuck into the bathroom, closed the door and, yes, took my shirt off. Those ‘shadows’ seemed to have disap-peared it seems. But if I crunched over hard like a woman giving birth, there was some vestige of a sixteen pack on my stomach. Of course the only problem was

that when I stood up normal, it looked like I was a little bit pregnant.

I even did a few body builder poses and to my surprise there was some definition between flesh and muscle on my arms and chest. I quietly thanked all that rowing in the Tyee Pool for that and then stepped sprightly out into the living

room, grabbed my book and started reading again.

I could barely concen-trate. It was as if I had tasted the Fountain of Youth and could only think what would happen if I started a regular workout again, maybe hang the punching bag in the garage, maybe get a rowing machine, maybe...

“Oh my God!” Loren gasped from the other end

of the couch. I looked up to see what the matter was and it appeared, for some rea-son, to be me. I had remembered to put my shirt on so it wasn’t that.

At least Loren had a smile on her face and she was pointing at the book in my lap.

“What?” I asked.“You have a picture of yourself on

your bookmark!” she said.

“I do not,” I said.“Yes you do!” she said, “it looks just

like you.”I could feel reality setting in, so I

closed the book, making sure the book mark was almost fully hidden.

Loren insisted I let her see it. And then the other two got in on it and said they wanted to see the bookmark. I refused at first but eventually gave in and showed them the bookmark.

“It is you!” cried Loren gleefully.“It is not!” I said.“It sure looks like you Neil,” added

Julia.“It does not!” I said.“Um, Dad, it does sort of look like

you,” said my daughter.I closed the book quietly and set it

down. I went to the closet, pulled out an old toque, put it on, went into the bath-room and looked in the mirror.

The bookmark, actually, is one that commemorates the 40th anniversary of The Beachcombers. The CBC show stopped filming in 1991, before any of the three snots in the living room were born.

And looking back at me from the mirror was, like the girls said, the guy on the bookmark.

It was Relic.

The Fountain of Youth can be fleeting

There weren’t any suits and ties at these award ceremonies. No fancy dresses. None of the glitzy stuff you would see at other such events.

There was wind and rain and falling leaves. Most people wore rubber boots of some kind or another. There were toques, hats, red cheeks and some running noses. There were a few chairs arranged around a tent.

But the awards, the annual stewardship awards given out by the City of Campbell River now for 12 years, are no less important than other award ceremonies. In fact, given the state of the planet, these awards are probably even a bit more import-ant.

They recognized individuals, families and groups whose initiatives helped make Campbell River and the world a better place in which to live.

They were handed out, fittingly, at the Haig-Brown festival on the heritage property of prob-ably British Columbia’s leading conservationist — Roderick Haig-Brown.

And they were handed out in conjunction with World River’s Day and the mighty Campbell, not far away through the trees, provided a melodic backdrop to the ceremonies.

As Haig-Brown once said, “You can’t win a con-servation war, but you have to fight it.”

Thank goodness, then, Campbell River is bless-ed with having such dedicated warriors.

Warriors ofa different kind

Previous poll question: Is there room for residential development on the 3.5 acre site? 50% said no, 38% said yes and 12% said if it doesn’t take up too much room.

New poll: Are the Canucks going to make the play-offs?

Even before they have named the main contractor for the John Hart Generating Station Replacement Project, BC Hydro has been generating a lot of economic activity in Campbell River.

And that has led to the direct creation of about 100 jobs, says BC Hydro spokes-person, Stephen Watson.

“I know how eager the community is, and so is BC Hydro, for the upcoming John Hart project construction,” says BC Hydro spokesperson, Stephen Watson. “What may not be well known is there’s quite a bit of work going on right now. We have the early site preparation works at John Hart, the temporary John Hart office space refurbish-ments going on at Campbell River Common, and the new field office building for our power line side of the business at Quinsam Crossing. Added up that’s about 100 con-struction jobs related to BC Hydro initiatives for contractors, many of whom are local.”

BC Hydro says the average of about 60 jobs at Quinsam Crossing will continue through early 2015, while the approximate 40 or so for the John Hart works will slow down into the fall as projects are completed.

BC Hydro plans to announce the pre-ferred general contractor for the John Hart Generating Station Replacement Project Replacement later this fall and conclude with the award signing by the end of the year.

“We received the final technical and financial submissions from the competing teams in early September,” says Watson. “When we complete our detailed review BC Hydro will publicly announce the preferred

contractor. We will then be working with the eventual contractor to quickly clarify their construction plan and the outlay of jobs over about five years. The average is about 400 per year but the project jobs will evolve from tunnelling work and generating station foundation excavation, to building the gener-ating station and water bypass facility, to the commissioning process. These jobs, some of them very unique, will transform over time.

“Perhaps out of convenience most people

simply call it the John Hart Dam project, but we really aren’t doing anything to the dam — it’s all downstream of it.”

BC Hydro says it has been working with the Chamber of Commerce and other busi-ness leaders to help prepare the community. He also says he gets a handful of calls per day from people looking for work, to offering accommodation.

“A key message is BC Hydro will not be doing the hiring or considering accom-

modation issues for the John Hart project; that will all be done by the contractor and their subcon-tractors,” said Watson. “We have been showcasing local and regional businesses to the bidding John Hart teams since last summer and plan to hold a business open house later this year or potentially in early 2014 — the timing will be up to thecontractor.”

Watson says BC Hydro is one of the major sponsors for the upcom-ing Campbell River Chamber of Commerce Business Expo on Oct. 22. He will be one of the partici-pants on the construction and pro-jects panel to talk about preparation and things like a skilled workforce. The Expo is designed as a business to business event.

“I can’t say enough about our relationship with the Chamber and the development of things like the Major Projects Web Portal, and through that, details and updates on the John Hart project and the new field office building that are easily accessible,” adds Watson.

“These projects first and fore-most will allow BC Hydro to

respond to emergency situations like major wind storm events and be able to run an ideal emergency operations centre, to having a generating station and water passage system from the dam that is reliable, seismically robust, and protects downstream fish habitat. BC Hydro and the Campbell River commun-ity will be well positioned.”

Search and rescue crews were taking to the trails and skies again yesterday in a sec-ond day of hunting for two young Victoria men who failed to return home after hiking up Mount Albert Edward, a peak in Strathcona Park near Mount Washington.

Two Victoria area men aged 22 and 31 failed to return to Victoria as expected Monday. One of the men is a student and new to Victoria, according to Comox Valley RCMP. Police have notified their families.

The men began hiking Friday, according to police.

“The [ground] search went well into the night before SAR decided to take a break until morning,” Comox RCMP Const. Nicole Hall said Tuesday. An RCMP helicopter had

to end its search earlier in the evening.Ground and air search mustered at 7:30

a.m. Tuesday. Victoria’s rescue co-ordination centre had not been called to assist in the search.

The hike is considered moderate to diffi-cult in good weather.

Both men are considered physically healthy, experienced hikers and were prepared to spend a night on the mountain, said police. They had a tent and provisions. The men were reportedly warned by parks staff about the impending storm.

Mount Albert Edward is 2,093 metres high and is the sixth-highest peak on Vancouver Island.

Search continued for losthikers in Strathcona Park

A new type of corporation was born in B.C. this summer, and it strikes a balance between profit and social responsibility.

Called a Community Contribution Company, or C3, the new business model satis-fies a demand for socially-focused investment options.

At their August board meeting, directors of the Island Coastal Economic Trust passed a motion that opens up ICET funding opportun-ities to C3s.

“I applaud the Island Coastal Economic Trust for being the first to announce an amend-ment to their guidelines to support B.C.’s new blended business model,” said Social Development and Social Innovation Minister Don McRae. “A Community Contribution Company is a model that has never been avail-able before in Canada so this move today is a positive step towards providing C3s with the support they need to grow and flourish.”

The ICET Board of Directors say the C3 model is a great opportunity.

“ICET exists to strengthen communities and

their economies through smart, focused invest-ments,” said Board Chair Mayor Phil Kent. “C3s are a great match for this type of support, because they take a holistic look at what ‘eco-nomic development’ really means.”

While job creation is always a key measure of economic strength, there are other important attributes of healthy, resilient communities.

“For example, volunteerism is a crucial part of every community,” said Kent.

“C3s can apply for-profit business prin-ciples to enterprises with a social good, and its that type of innovation that helps communities stay strong.”

C3s will have to meet the same rigorous standards as all applicants when seeking fund-ing partnership from ICET, Kent noted.

To learn more about the C3 model, vis-it http://www.fin.gov.bc.ca/prs/ccc/

The Island Coastal Economic Trust is a $50 million endowment established in 2006 by the Government of British Columbia to help diversify the economies of central and northern Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast.

ICET creates new nichewith development of C3

Campbell River witnessed continued growth, reporting a 55% increase in terms of unit sales year-over-year for the month of August according to the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board.

Comox Valley unit sales were up 26%; Nanaimo sales spiked by 62%; Parksville/Qualicum sales rose by 14%; Cowichan Valley saw a 31% increase, and Port Alberni/West Coast experienced the largest growth, jumping 80% from last year.

“Although we have seen significant month-

over-month increases in both unit sales and average pricing in most of our markets this month, when looking at these numbers on a longer term basis, we are still seeing a gradual upward trend indicative of a more balanced and stable market,” said VIREB president, Gary Gray.

“We are encouraged that we have continued to experience slow and steady growth since the second quarter, and anticipate that consumer confidence will continue to increase leading into next year,” he stated.

It’s fall at the Campbell River Art Gallery and that means it’s time to start thinking about the annual Christmas Market.

The CR Art Gallery is seek-ing artisans who would like to

display their work in the annual Christmas Market, taking place this year from Nov. 7 to Dec. 24. For six weeks, the Gallery’s entire exhibition space is transformed into a holiday shopping extrava-

ganza, featuring unique hand-made crafts and art created by local artisans. Everything from pottery to textiles to wood-work, soap and fine jewelry is featured. The pieces sell on a consignment basis and the Christmas Market, sponsored by Chan, Nowosad Boates, Chartered Accountants, is a major fundraiser for Gallery exhibitions and programs.

All displays, inventory

control, sales and promotion are taken care of by Gallery staff and volunteers in order to provide an uncomplicated, easy opportun-ity for artisans to sell their work. Artist demonstrations, which are an excellent way to promote an artisan’s work, are also scheduled for those who would like to dem-onstrate their craft.

Entry into the Market is juried and entry forms are avail-able at the Gallery, which is open Tuesday to Saturday from 12 p.m. - 5 p.m. The deadline for submis-sion is Oct. 15. Phone 250-287-2261 or email [email protected] for more information.

Are you buying a home that needs some upgrading? Or maybe you are interested in a home, but cannot afford the extra money needed to do the improvements it requires. If that is the case, then the Purchase Plus Improvements program may be the solution you need. This program allows you to make your home the way you want it through allowable improvements, immediately after taking possession.

The great thing about this program is that it allows you

to do what you want now with as little as 5% down payment based on the as-improved value. This way you are adding value to your home now while taking advantage of low interest rates and one payment. The improvements you can do are endless as long as you are adding value to the property. Some examples include new bathrooms, fl ooring, windows, kitchens, electrical, plumbing, and paint.

You will need to list the improvements you want to do and then get quotes for

the costs of the upgrades from a contractor or cost of the materials if you are doing the work yourself. One thing to understand is that you may have to pay the costs up front especially if you do them yourself. Sometimes contractors will do the work knowing you have funds available to pay them when the work is done. Once the work is completed, an appraiser will inspect the property before the extra funds can be released from the solicitor.

Cleaning and maintaining carpeted fl oorsMuch like paint, carpeting can quickly transform the look of a room. Carpeting can be a

durable fl ooring material, but it will need upkeep to look its best.

Carpeting that will be in high-traffi c areas, such as halls and entryways, may require the most TLC. Routine vacuuming is necessary to dislodge dust and dirt particles. But at some point a more thorough cleaning may be necessary.

Vacuuming

Frequent vacuuming will prolong the life of the carpet by preventing a buildup of particles inside of the carpet fi ber that can eventually cause friction and sever carpet fi bers. Use of a crevice tool and other attachments can enable cleaning in the corners where the carpet meets baseboards and moldings. When vacuuming larger rooms, divide the room into separate areas and tackle each area separately before moving on to another portion of the room.

Take time when vacuuming carpet. Plush carpets will trap dirt more easily than a thinner or less dense carpet, so more passes of the vacuum might be necessary. Overlap strokes in a crisscross pattern to get at dirt at different angles.

Pet hair and vacuumed particles of food can create odor inside of the vacuum bag. Therefore, think about adding baking soda or an odor-relieving product designed to be used when vacuuming.

Treating spills

Spills are one thing that homeowners in carpeted homes may fear. If not addressed quickly, liquid or food may permanently damage a carpet. It is adviseable to manage a spill as soon as it happens to reduce the liklihood that it will contribute to a permanent stain. Carefully blot up the spill until much of the offending item is removed before adding any type of cleaning agent. Test the cleaning product in an inconspicuous area prior to using it on the spill to ensure it will not damage or discolor the carpet.

Work from the outside of the stain and move inward to keep the stain from spreading outward. Use a plush, white towel to blot up any remaining moisture and spill. The towel also will help to fl uff up the pile of the carpet.

Remove shoes

Dirt and germs can be tracked into the house on the bottom of shoes. Eventually this material can be deposited on carpets, which then becomes lodged inside the fi bers. To reduce the amount of dirt tracked in, make it a rule to take off shoes upon entering the house. If pets are the culprits of tracked-in dirt, keep a towel by the door and wipe the animal’s paws before allowing it to roam through the house.

Steam clean to refresh

If you don’t already own a steam-cleaner, they can be rented for a fraction of the cost of buying one. Together with steam, a cleaning solution is usually part of the procedure. The steam and cleaning product will loosen and dissolve dirt and then the dirty remains will be sucked up into a receptacle to be emptied. Steam cleaning is one of the easiest methods of thoroughly cleaning carpeting and reviving it to look as good as new. Many homeowners are quite surprised to see how much dirt can be removed from the carpet by using a steam-cleaner.

Intermittent use of a steam spot cleaner can help keep high-traffi c areas of the home and stairs clean or treat a persistent stain that doesn’t respond to hand cleaning.

Use area rugs

There is a misconception that area rugs are used in lieu of carpeting, but both can be used together. An area rug may be placed near an entryway to catch dirt from shoes before it is tracked elsewhere in the house. Area rugs can be used under a dining table where the frequent pulling out and pushing in of chairs may wear down carpeting.

Eliminate static

Static electricity can plague people who live in homes with carpeting, especially during cool, dry weather. Placing a dryer sheet on the bottom of a dry sponge mop and then running it over the carpet can alleviate static. This will help prevent those annoying shocks or even damage to electronic equipment from static shocks.

Carpeting is something that can make a statement in a home. When maintained, it can look beautiful for years to come.

Addressing spills quickly can prevent stains from soiling a carpet.

The Timberline Senior Girls Volleyball Team won gold at the 36 team VIU Invitational on the weekend.

The Wolves went through the draw, playing seven matches without dropping a single set. In round robin play, Timberline defeated Cowichan 25-9; 25-5, Nanaimo Christian 25-8;25-6 and Gulf Islands 25-7;25-7.

After winning their pool, they advanced to the gold tier play-off round which featured the top 16 teams in the tournament. They met Belmont of Victoria in the first round and beat them two straight 25-18;25-14.

Nicole Herbert set the entire match and did a great job. Sarah Chase led the team in kills, followed by Megan Turko. In the quarter-final, they played St. Thomas Aquinas from Vancouver. This match was fast and fea-tured some long rallies. Tommi Corder set this match and did a great job finding her hitters. Middles Farryn Elhorn, Ana Christensen and Kaitlyn Herbert were strong in the blocking department.

Back-row specialist, Hayley Zumkeller, put on a serv-ing clinic for the Wolves all weekend long.

This result should keep the team at, or near, the top of the provincial AAA rankings this week.

Sarah Chase was named tournament MVP, while Brooklyn Reesor received a first team all-star and Nicole Herbert was a second team all-star.

The Quadra Cultural Committee is proud to present The New Orford String Quartet as the first in their 2013-2014 concert series on Monday, Oct. 14, Thanksgiving Day at 2:30 p.m. at the Quadra Community Centre.

Almost 50 years ago, the Orford String Quartet set out on its path to becoming one of Canada’s best known and most illustrious ensem-bles. After 26 years and more than 2000 concerts on six continents, the Orford String Quartet disbanded in 1991. Hailed for their “ravish-ingly beautiful tone” as well as their “extraordinary technical skills and musicianship” the members of the New Orford String Quartet are all principal players in the Montreal and Toronto Symphony Orchestras. Violinists Jonathan Crow and Andrew Wan; violist, Eric Nowlin and cellist Brian Manker will be playing the early Beethoven Quartet in B-flat major, Opus 18 No.6;

Canadian R. Murray Schafer’s String Quartet No. 1; and Brahms’ String Quartet No. 2 in A minor, Op. 51 No.2.

The New Orford String Quartet debut CD of the final quartets of Schubert and Beethoven on Bridge Records received international acclaim; “one of the top CDs of 2011” (La Presse and CBC In Concert); JUNO Award nomina-tion 2012, “a performance of true greatness and compelling inten-sity... stunning! (Audio Video Club of Atlanta); “flawless... a match made in heaven!” (Classical Music Sentinel); “a performance of rare intensity.” (Audiophile Audition); and “nothing short of electrifying... listen and weep.” (Toronto Star)

The Quadra concert is part of an extensive 16 concert Western Canadian tour including perform-ances in Edmonton, Calgary, White Rock and Victoria. Known as “…Canada’s top string quartet…they’ve

taken our cham-ber music scene by storm….”. (CBC 2013). So pop your turkey in the oven, put

on your raincoats and head over to Quadra Island CommunityCentre on Thanksgiving Day and you’ll be thankful you did!

Tickets for The New Orford String Quartet

New Orford String Quartet to kick off Quadra series

The Tidemark Theatre begins its second season of the “Tidemark Lounge” on Thursday, Oct. 3.

The “Tidemark Lounge” showcases local and emerging artists, and runs select Thursdays in the fall from 7 to 9 p.m.

Last year the Tidemark Theatre Society began presenting artists in the lobby, and the series was so popular, the local non-profit decided to bring the series back for another year.

Admission to the Tidemark Lounge is a suggested $10 donation at the door, and a 100% of the proceeds collected at the door go back to the artist.

The Tidemark Theatre has donated the space and staffing costs for this event.

This week the Tidemark Lounge will feature Vancouver’s Reid Jamieson, who shines his light with an incredible voice, therapeutic lyrics, and a magical way with melodies.

A regular on CBC’s Vinyl Cafe, and winner of the grand prize for folk in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest for his song Rail, Reid’s original recordings Staring Contest and The Unavoidable Truth features guests Sarah Harmer, Samantha Parton (Be Good Tanyas), Bob Eagan (Wilco, Blue Rodeo), John Sheard (Celine Dion, Dan Hill) and Anne Lindsay (Jim Cuddy Band, Blue Rodeo).

“We are incredibly happy to support local and emerging artists in this way,” said a Tidemark press release. “We have donated the space and staffing costs for this event in order to provide local and emerging artists with a professional venue to perform, and we also wanted to create a space where we are cultivating arts and culture.

“This is our way of giving back to the community.”Artists interested in performing in the Tidemark Lounge

can submit their electronic press kits to [email protected].

An updated schedule and artist biographies for the Tidemark Lounge can be found at www.tidemarktheatre.com <http://www.tidemarktheatre.com> .

There is some high technol-ogy you will want when you come across stuff people don’t want.

TrashOut, an environmental pro-ject aiming to locate illegal dumps all around the world, is helping people and groups like Campbell River’s own Island Forest Stewards (aka Shame the Logging Road Dumpers) make an impact on the environment by offering free mobile apps for Android, iOS and Windows Phone. Users can snap and upload location-tagged photos of the waste and surroundings, indicate the size and type of the trash and write and share any additional details they think might be helpful.

The data, using GPS, can be used by local authorities or environ-mental organizations to clean up the illegal waste, although users are invited to rally their friends to get rid of the trash themselves.

Bud Logan of Island Forest Stewards said that this initiative becomes his eyes in the forest.

“What I like about it is you can report a site and submit a photo and I can see if it is a hot spot, a growing pile, and put up a camera,” Logan said. “And if you are out of range at the time you see a dump, you can still put the information in there and once you are in a Wifi area it will register it.”

Logan said there are already 160 sites registered that need to be cleaned up, including a half mile trail into the forest behind Home Depot.

“There must be ten tonnes of garbage there, it’s on the map,” said Logan, whose group has picked up 70,000 pounds of garbage in the last three months and “only just touched” what’s there.

Logan recalls being knee deep in 1,500 diapers recently, and remov-ing a 45 gallon drum of diesel in King Fisher Creek. “Solvents, buckets of dog poo, plastics which

do not break down; plastics are 80 percent of what we pull out and are the biggest problem.” said Logan.

The other problem is attitudes. “I have had death threats,” said

Logan. “One person I know told me off and said you ruined it for me now ‘what am I supposed to do with my garbage?’ Another one I caught red handed dumping yard waste and made them re-load it into their truck or else I was going to report them and they would get the $2,000 fine.”

The group, who just received two stewardship awards from the City of Campbell River, plans to turn to education this fall in their efforts to stop illegal dumping on the logging roads and in the forests of our community.

“We are going to be speaking in schools, get kids to recognize how wrong this is and perhaps shame their parents if this is happening,” said Logan. “With the help of Elaine Campbell-Jansen (the com-post diva) at the compost center on Dogwood and Gale Gayle Bates,

who knows so much about recyc-ling, along with my team’s know-ledge of illegal dumping, we will be able to create a program that could be used in the school systems along with a slightly revised version to be directed toward educating adults. This program will be offered for use by regional districts on Vancouver Island. I look forward to working with and along side these incredible people.”

In the meantime, the group is thrilled with the new app as it will make for some consistent report-ing, on scene, rather than people reporting to the police, the city, the Ministry of Forests, logging com-panies — making information dif-ficult to organize, or just not report-ing at all.

“Give me 10 years and I will have this Island cleaned up,” said Logan. “This is my island.”

Lively & Educational Children’s Programs

Sensitive EgosMy brothers and I were recently engaged in a conversation about our childhood in which we all felt compelled to apologize for our youthful teasing and taunting of each other. What was interesting to me was that we all felt that in one way or another the teasing and striving with each other had made us more prepared to deal with life. One brother even expressed the worry that “we are so over-sensitized to emotionally abusive people these days that we are cultivating a whole generation of young people who are unable to handle any kind of threats to their fragile egos. When they are bullied they react in ways that are hugely disproportionate to the situation, i.e. suicides, mass shootings, etc.” Perhaps the teasing banter and rough and tumble play of childhood is preparation for life in a world that isn’t always sensitive to the fragile vagaries of our ego. It would be nice, albeit boring, if we lived in a world where everyone was always kind and deferential but until that ideal world arrives, perhaps we should let kids engage in the rough and tumble world of childhood in a way that will prepare them for the real world. Resolving confl ict is an important skill that is best learned early in life. – Christopher Simon

“A hot-tempered person stirs up confl ict, but the one who is patient calms a quarrel.” Proverbs 15: 18

Some people were not them-selves on Friday night at the Tidemark Theatre.

Instead, they became Michael Buble, Jennifer Aniston, Beyonce, PINK, Jeff Daniels, Tina Turner, Arnold Schwarzeneggar’s mother and the Queen of England.

Those who decided to see the show rather than be the show were entertained by the hilarious hypnotist Wayne Lee, a former Campbell Riverite now working out of Edmonton.

One of North America’s premier Corporate Presenters, Entertainers, and Peak Performance Experts, Lee is a veteran of thousands of successful shows and presentations, a pub-lished author, and mentor to pro-fessionals of all walks of life.

As a former five-time Canadian amateur wrestling champion and classroom instructor, Wayne was invited to return to his former community by the Centre for Spiritual Living in celebration of their 10th anniversary in the com-munity.

“Our centre is dedicated to helping individuals discover the spiritual tools and an inner Power that has the ability to trans-form lives and make the world a better place,” said founder Jill Brocklehurst.

“We offer a practical spiritual teaching that draws on the wis-dom of the ages and New Thought

principles, in order to promote awakening and personal growth.

With a variety of services avail-able, we meet the needs of fam-

ilies, singles, children, adults, and seniors. Whatever your lifestyle or spiritual path, you will feel wel-comed. Our spiritual community is ready to embrace, love, and accept you as you are.”

Earlier in the day, Lee hypno-tized 99.7 the River radio host Rickie Tyler, on the air.

During the Friday night event, participants were hypnotized on stage and during intermis-sion where they went out to raise money for whatever charity they had created, including “People with Red Roofs”,“Clothes for Dogs Society”, “The Fitness of Cats”, “Checkers for Children Foundation”. and the “Ducks in Central Park”.

On Saturday the Centre held a seminar “Set Your GPS for Success” which contained many of the same principles and motiva-tional tools.

Lee has become known for in the corporate world.

Lee showed the participants how to wake up the power of their mind to focus on achieving per-sonal goals and learn visualization techniques that reduce stress and increase relaxation, all while being entertained.

Some enjoyed the show, some were the show

Wayne Lee snaps a self portrait when his hypnotized subjects are told he is the most repulsive person they have ever seen in their entire lives. Shortly after that each subject enjoyed a very amorous slow dance on stage with Lee when he told them he was simply ravishing. Lee has been called Canada’s “crown prince” of hypnotism.

CAMPBELL RIVER

By Sian Thomson


Barb Round’s journey has been as eclectic as she is.

A registered nurse — turned community animator, turned community college instructor — lived in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories for 25 years prior to set-tling in Campbell River seven years ago.

“We literally chose Campbell River,” said Round. “My husband and I spent five summer vacations driving up and down the Island and just felt Campbell River was the place for us to settle. It was the right size, it had the right “feel”. In many coastal cities for instance, you can live there and never see the ocean unless you specifically make a trip to the beach. In Campbell River, we see the ocean every time we go anywhere.”

But it was what she saw in Canmore, Alberta that started a journey for Barb that, in her words, “hit me like a Mack truck.”

“I have been a quilter for over 40 years,” said Round. “I went with a friend to see a sewing machine I was thinking about buying. It turned out that the lady was a Certified Zentangle ® Teacher. I saw her work and that was it. I was gob-smacked. I stayed up all night and wrote a business plan and went to Rhode Island to take the train-ing. I am a graduate of the official Zentangle training provided by the developers of Zentangle, Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas.”

Rick Roberts lived for years as a monk, Maria Thomas is a life-long artist and master calligrapher. Together they developed Zentangle to encourage creativity.

So nurse turned teacher turned artistan reinvented herself as an “Eclectic Zentangle Quilter.”

“I am not a trained or profes-sional artist and never thought of myself as an artist,” she says. “However, despite that apparent handicap, I am excited to be able to produce artful creations through

Zentangle. I absolutely love sharing this surprisingly easy-to-learn art form with others so that they may also find the artist within.”

Round joins about 400 Certified Zentangle teachers in the United

States, 30-40 in Canada, and others all over the world including the Netherlands, Britain, India and South Africa.

The easy-to-learn Zentangle method has helped millions achieve

focus and inspiration by unleashing the artist within.

The Zentangle Method is an easy-to-learn, relaxing, and fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns.

Almost anyone can use it to create beautiful images. It increases focus and creativ-ity, provides artistic satisfac-tion along with an increased sense of personal well being. Repetitive, simple steps are part of the Zentangle method. These steps support relaxation, focus and inspir-ation. It can be a wonderful daily ritual, said Round.

“The majority of my students are ladies nearing retirement age,” said Round. “ They are often looking for new ways to express them-selves creatively, for some-thing new to add to their scrapbooking, journaling, quilting or something new to share and enjoy with their grandchildren.”

Round has taught five or six times at a senior’s resi-dence in Ottawa where her mother lives, and has also taught for Amica Retirement Homes in Victoria.

“My oldest student is 93,” said Round. “It is abso-lutely delightful to have ladies in their 80s or 90s come into class saying that they haven’t an artistic bone in their body, then watch them light up as they dis-cover that they really can create interesting designs with Zentangle.

“I love watching them get excited as they discover new creativity.”

Round teaches a var-iety of Zentangle classes, including “ZIQ” (Zentangle Inspired Quilting) and is available for home-hosted classes, guild or other group

Teacher classes, corporate events and speaking engage-ments.

SENIORStoday’s

Charities often target certain groups of people when soliciting donations. Those groups may include past donors and people who have recently attended charitable fund raisers. Such an approach can be very effective. It should come as no surprise that criminals posing as legitimate organizations tend to target specific groups of people as well.

Anyone can be fooled by a fraudulent charity, but such criminals tend to target seniors more than others. According to police, seniors often make attractive targets to con artists because seniors are most likely to have substantial savings, own their homes and/or have excellent credit. In addi-tion, police say that elderly victims of fraud and other crimes are less likely to report those crimes out of fear that their families may feel they are no longer able to take care of themselves or manage their own finances.

These factors make seniors especially attractive and vulnerable to con artists, particularly those who prey on well-inten-tioned men and women by posing as fake charities. But there are steps seniors can take to protect themselves from fraud.

* Be skeptical of solicitors. Many con artists will indicate that persons have given to the charity in the past, hoping that pro-spective victims simply won’t remember if that claim is valid or not. If a solicitor or appeal letter claims that you donated in the past, don’t simply take it at face value, especially if you don’t recall making such

a donation. Get specific information about alleged past donations, checking that infor-mation against your own bank records and receipts. Many donors claim donations as deductions on their tax returns, which also can be used to verify or debunk solicitors’ claims. Though not all solicitors claiming a past history of donations are dishonest, this is one way that criminals attempt to create a rapport with potential victims, so such

claims should be verified before making any donations.

* Don’t feel obligated to reciprocate a gift with a donation. Many charities send gifts, be it mailing labels or holiday cards, to prospective donors as a token of appre-ciation for past donations and as a way of encouraging future donations. Con artists are fully aware of this tactic and may try to imitate it in an attempt to defraud potential victims. No matter if the people behind those mailing labels or holiday ornaments are legitimate charities or con artists, you should not feel compelled to reciprocate a free gift with a financial donation.

* Beware of solicitors pressuring you to donate. Reputable charities should not be on the verge of shut down if you fail to make a donation, so such organizations never pressure prospective donors into making donations. If a solicitor is pres-suring you into making a donation over the phone or in person, chances are strong that this person is not representing a reput-able charity. In such instances, hang up the phone or, if the solicitor is on your prop-erty, politely close the door, ask the solici-tor to leave your property and contact the local authorities.

* Send donations directly to the charity after independently confirming their address. When making charitable donations, those donations should never be given directly to solicitors. Donations should only be made after you have independently confirmed the charity’s address and mailed straight to the organiza-tion. Never make a cash donation, as cash provides no paper trail should you want to deduct your donation or should you learn that you were victimized by a con artist posing as a representative of a reputable charity.

* Request personal information not be shared. Upon receiving a charitable donation, many charities share their donors’ contact information with other charities. Such actions are legal as long as no sensi-tive information is shared. But many donors would prefer their contact informa-tion not be shared so they don’t find them-selves being inundated with solicitations from other charities. Donors can ask to opt out of having their personal information shared upon making a donation. This is especially important for seniors living on fixed incomes who simply cannot afford to support many causes no matter how com-pelling those causes are.

Carol Dwyer is inviting everyone in the community to her 70th birthday party.

She doesn’t know if this will be her last celebration.

Carol was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) earlier this year and the symptoms are slowly taking their toll.

ALS is a rapidly progressive, neuromuscu-lar disease. It attacks the motor neurons that transmit electrical impulses from the brain to the voluntary muscles in the body. When they fail to receive messages, the muscles lose strength, atrophy and die.

ALS can strike anyone at anytime, regard-less of age, gender, or ethnic origin. It does not affect the senses, and only rarely does it affect the mind. The equipment costs for each patient average $137,000, while nursing and home care costs can be up to 10 times this amount.

Established in 1981, the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Society of BC is a non-profit society. It was founded by ALS patients, their family members and caregivers, and health care professionals to meet the physical and emotional needs of those living with ALS.

The ALS Society of BC raises funds for both research and to provide direct services and support to those currently living with ALS.

Until a cure is found, the Society provides patient services to improve the quality of life of those diagnosed with this disease by offer-ing an extensive equipment loan program, sup-port groups, and educational materials.

There is no cost for ALS patients to regis-ter or to access their services.

Carol is not asking for birthday gifts. She wants her party-goers to donate to the ALS Society of B.C. and in addition to a lovely afternoon tea, she will be selling off some of her jewelry and donating the money from those sales to the Society.

“I don’t expect to make buckets of money but I do want to give back for everything I am receiving,” she said.

The event takes place on her 70th birthday, Oct. 5 at the Trinity Presbyterian Church, 145 Simms Road, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

For more information, or to donate in honor of her 70 years and to acknowledge the ALS Society of BC, contact Nancy Dwyer at [email protected]

Receipts can be issued for any donations over $20.

As many anglers know, Pacific salmon have been transplanted to numerous places around the globe. Unlike Atlantic salmon, which have never established self-sustaining populations outside their natural range, various species of Pacific salmon, especially chinook and coho, have taken root in widely separated locations in temperate zones in both the northern and southern hemispheres.

Almost certainly the largest and most diverse of these transplant initia-tives has been into the Great Lakes, starting on the US side in the mid 1960?s shortly thereafter followed in Canada as well. The first major transplant effort took place in Michigan with coho planted in several rivers flowing into Lake Michigan, to provide a new angling opportunity but also to address a grow-ing social issue.

With their principle natural predator, lake trout (actually a char), largely eliminated the popu-lation of a freshwater herring-like species called the alewife exploded. In combination with increas-ingly polluted, lower oxygen water the alewife started undergoing mass die-offs in the summer period, fouling popular beaches with millions of quickly decomposing bodies. Fisheries managers in Michigan decided that the remedy was to find a fast growing and carnivorous salmonid to eat its way out of that problem — enter the coho.

In an essentially virgin (to them) ecosystem the coho did extraordinarily well, with the first return year of mature three-year old coho?s in1967. In the late summer a wild new sport fish-ery was triggered as anglers from far and wide sought to tackle these fabulous salmon, although there was a sad aspect to the first season when a strong fall gale caught too many anglers well off-shore on Lake

Michigan in unsuitably small boats and a num-ber of lives were lost. A tough start to the collect-ive learning curve on open water salmon fishing.

Anyway, from that starting point the introduc-tion of various Pacific salmon species and the associated recreational fishery, now in all of the Great Lakes, has been one of the greatest fisheries

management success stories anywhere and over forty years later is a central part of both the eco-system and fishing opportunities on and around these enormous bodies of freshwater.

I got to ponder all this as I went salmon fishing on Lake Ontario recently, out of Port Credit, about 30 km west of downtown Toronto, on one of two boats chartered for our party. Not only was it the first time I’ve fished for salmon there but also the first time I’ve been on a boat sport fishing for salmon with nine lines out! I thought I was a fairly experienced recreational salmon fisherman but my own learning curve steepened up as I watched the mate on our 35-foot

cruiser deploy the array. And coming straight from the end of Campbell River’s tyee rowboat season with its traditional, simplistic methodology, the contrast for me with the elaborate technological approach was all the greater!

To no surprise downriggers were central to the set-up and I was pleased to see that all four in use were the latest high-speed ‘riggers from Scotty, one placed on each corner of the transom and another about a meter in towards the centerline. It should be said that we weren’t fishing overly deep, 80 feet at most, and the crew were surprised to hear that we routinely fish deeper than 200 feet with downriggers on the west coast, albeit with far fewer lines.

With the ‘rigger lines placed the mate then set out on each side an outfit using a wire line (some-what like finer stainless downrigger cable) with a small planer on the end, to which the leader and lure was attached. These specific outfits had roller guides on the rod for this type of line and all the reels were of the star-drag, level-wind type, each with a line counter — no knuckle dusters there! The mate would carefully free spool about 100 yards of line back before placing them in low-level horizontal rod holders.

The last pair of rods placed in high angle holders on each side used lead core line, and again

the mate would free spool a 100 yards of line out before attaching a side planer to each line, and then set out an additional 25 yards which caused the lines to track some 30 degrees out from the boat. Finally, with four lines on either side, com-pleting the spread was a centerline using simple monofilament and a small planer that was run out from a holder up high on the flying bridge. I was working up a sweat just watching this all set out without tangling!

Spoons appeared to be the lure of choice and I was told in no uncertain terms that hootchies don’t work there, although they did use some of the new style flashtail ?flies?. Plugs, sometimes but not that day.

Needless to say all the lines aren?t brought in when a fish is hooked, the boat keeps trolling along while the hooked fish is carefully kept away from the deployed lines. Not that we had any mon-sters, seven or eight fish with the biggest about six

pounds, all chinook except one steelhead, and all were released.

Being the only fishing guide in the group, the fishing gods took their revenge and it was the other boat, fishing nearby, that came up trumps, returning with a pair of 15 pound chinook and a steelhead about half that size. Good looking fish too, with a mix of both hatchery and wild salmon found in the lake.

One particular point of interest caught my attention — they pay great attention to the water temperature at the fishing depths and one of the downriggers was equipped with a battery-powered sensor/sending unit that enabled a read out in the boat. Might have to give that some consideration here, although the set-up isn?t cheap.

Anyhow, it was an interesting experience seeing how big water salmon sport fishing is prac-ticed elsewhere and I’d recommend it for anyone travelling there.

Inflation is probably not that much appreciated by the public at large where costs go up faster than wages. The GIC rollover at a couple of percent buys no more next year as it did this year and likely a little less if taxes take a bite. I’m not qualified to debate all the reasons why it’s both healthy and necessary (within certain parameters) but would opine that it is the lesser of the “fla-tion” evils.

What are they?Disinflation is when the level of infla-

tion is on the decrease. This could be good or bad but as I penned a month ago, the goal of the Bank of Canada is to keep inflation at a level of 2% (give or take) so they pull the levers in favour of achieving and main-taining this target range wherever possible.

Deflation is when inflation is negative and costs are going down. This has the impact of increasing the purchasing power of those with money. Great technological advances could make this possible for shorter periods of time as in the 19th century. To a degree it explains why it’s possible to buy a laptop computer or many electronics today for a fraction of the cost of when Gates and Jobs were nerdy teenagers with a dream. The flip side is that borrowed money becomes more difficult to repay as ultimately wages and government revenues go down. Given gov-ernment and individual’s current debt and propensity to borrow I wouldn’t think this would be welcome.

Stagflation is a vicious cycle. It is characterized by high unemployment and low economic growth coupled with

high inflation. In order to deal with high inflation those in charge need to reign in the money supply

to preserve the value of currency. However, the very policies designed to do this tend to weaken the econ-omy and create more unemployment.

Hyperinflation is rising and accelerating inflation in an economy causing the price of everything to rise. Confidence is lost as currency buys much less in the months ahead. The general population is trapped and those with wealth seek alterna-tives often outside of the economy they live. A lot of doomsayers have been forecasting this for the U.S. as

they pile on mountains of debt. They’ve yet to be proven to be right. Let’s hope it stays that way.

Your choices again are; inflation, disinflation, deflation, stagflation and hyperinflation. Pick one.
