Three people were taken to Campbell River hospital Tuesday morning following a head-on collision.
The accident occurred around 8:30 a.m. on South Island Highway near Barlow Road, just
south of Rona. Initial reports from Campbell River RCMP
indicate that a new model red Chevrolet car was northbound, crossed the double solid centre line and collided with a white Subaru heading south-bound.
Police say a volunteer from the Willow Point Fire Hall was first on the scene.
Other firefighters from the downtown fire hall were also called in to extricate victims from the wreckage along with three B.C. Ambulances.
The driver of the Subaru and two people from the Chevy were taken to hospital with what is believed to be non-life threatening injuries.
The police investigation is continuing and so far no charges have been laid.

York Road residents are an alert after several break-ins to out-build-ings in the past month.
The thefts began in late February and have become so frequent that residents started posting their own warnings to neighbours on the area’s postal boxes:
“Attention: York Road Area Resi-dents. There has been a rash of break-ins in the past few weeks. The brazen culprits appear to concen-trate on out-buildings and have used bolt cutters on chains and locks. It appears that they prefer stormy nights that can muffle their sounds. CALL 911.”
On Monday, Campbell River RCMP confirmed there’s been a rash of break-ins in the York Road area including four or five that occurred on the night of March 17.
According to Staff Sgt. Troy Beau-regard, the culprit(s) are breaking into sheds, garages and vehicles, usually in the evenings to early mornings.
He said police are stepping up patrols in the area along with Citi-zens on Patrol and have one report of a suspicious late-model white pickup truck.
Some residents believe the thieves are using all-terrain vehicles and may be caching stolen goods in the woods off the various trails. How-ever, Beauregard said those reports are unconfirmed.

A woman suffered serious injuries Sunday following a snowmobile accident.
The accident occurred near Bacon Lake, north-west of the Strathcona
Dam. According to Campbell River Search and Rescue (SAR), the woman was riding along a logging road when she was thrown from the sled and struck some rocks.
Volunteers searchers were called in to mobi-lize the victim to allow for a helicopter evacu-ation. The woman was placed on a spine board and airlifted out.
The initial plan was to transfer her to an ambu-lance near the dam, but due to the extent of her injuries she was flown directly to Campbell River hospital.
“This was a case where the woman’s companions did everything right,” said search manager Grant Cromer in a news release. “They made a clear visible landing spot for the helicopter, they had provided immedi-ate first aid and kept the woman warm with extra jackets and provided assistance to the SAR team in helping to move the woman to the heli-copter.
“Their assistance was invaluable to us.”
SAR reminds the pub-lic that having a safety plan in place is essential for all outdoor activities.
Today is Purple Day and a local woman
has taken up the cause of epilepsy awareness by designing a T-shirt reflecting her First Nations heritage.
The photo of the t-shirt won a BC Epi-lepsy Society Purple Day photo contest.
Vanessa Shaughnessy of Campbell River calls the design on her T-shirt Kawakiutl Hum-mingbird – The Purple Ribbon.
“This photo includes a beautiful handmade depiction of a bird
encapsulated within a purple ribbon,” said Elvira Balakshin, BC Epilepsy Society spokes-person. “Purple is an internationally-recog-nized colour associated with epilepsy awareness. The creativity and effort put into this is outstand-ing. This is why it was a winner in our Purple Day photo contest.”
Purple Day is held annually on March 26 and it is a day dedicated to raising awareness about epilepsy. March is also epilepsy awareness month in Canada.
Purple Day was
founded in 2008 by nine-year-old Cassidy Megan of Nova Scotia. Megan told her friends about her epilepsy after a presentation in her class given by an epi-lepsy organization. At first, Megan was afraid the other children would make fun of her, but then she came up with the idea of Purple Day, where people would wear purple to show support for those living with epilepsy.
Purple Day reminds everyone that people living with epilepsy need understanding and acceptance. Epilepsy is far more common that most people realize. In Canada approximately 300,000 people have epilepsy and worldwide approximately 65 mil-
lion people have epi-lepsy.
Despite its prevalence, epilepsy is often mis-understood and people with epilepsy can face social stigma and dis-crimination.
Spreading the word about epilepsy and Pur-ple Day will help dispel myths about the condi-tion and remind people affected by seizures that they are not alone.
“You probably have met someone with epi-lepsy – but don’t real-ize it,” said Balakshin. “Approximately 1-in-100 people will develop epi-lepsy at some point in their lifetime.
“A lot of times people with epilepsy may have to tough it out – some-times others may not be aware of the struggles
they face. We need to make sure that as a community people with epilepsy and their fami-lies get the support they need to succeed.”
Epilepsy is a medical condition that causes a person to have recurring seizures. These seizures are caused by excessive discharges of electrical impulses in the brain. There are more than 20 different types of sei-zures.
Seizures can vary in frequency and severity. In some people with epi-lepsy, seizures happen only occasionally; for others, it may happen up to hundreds of times a day.
Anyone can develop epilepsy at any age. In 70 per cent of cases there is no known cause.

During her year-long battle with lung cancer, Sandra Ostwald was treated with care and dignity by nursing and medical staff at Campbell River hospital.
With her family by her side Ostwald died in hos-pital on Feb. 17. She was just 57.
Her brother Bill Bur-nett of Saskatoon was there too and decided to give back to the hospital, in a small way, to express the family’s gratitude for the great care his sister received.
And so he bought three tickets for the Campbell River Hospital Founda-tion’s lottery and gave two to family members.
“I literally felt that was a gift in itself – to sup-port the hospital is so important,” says Nycky Vanjecek, Ostwald’s daughter.
Little did Vanjecek know that she was hold-ing the lucky ticket that was recently drawn for the grand prize of a $20,000 travel voucher to go anywhere in the world.
“I was completely floored when I got the news,” she said last Thursday when she
arrived at the founda-tion office to pick up the prize. “It feels like mom hand-picked it.
“I can picture the joy on her face!”
The money will be used for a family vaca-tion for the young fam-ily. She’s 33, hubby Vince
is 34, and they’ve been married six years.
Their only son Oliver will soon be five and next month Vanjecek expects to be back in Campbell River hospital for the birth of their second child.
“We’re expecting a boy,” she says, patting her round tummy. “We’ve always had dreams of travelling, but we’ve
never been on a real vacation – we’ve never been on a honeymoon!”
With another little one on the way, the “family-oriented vacation” will have to wait until early 2015. It’s something to look forward to and this Saturday the family will gather again to celebrate the life of Sandra Ost-
wald.“You know, my mom
would always tried to surprise us and would fail miserably,” Vanjecek says with a laugh. “She finally got us.”
Fast facts:n Second place went to
John Prachnau who gets a two-night, all-inclu-
sive package at swanky Sonora Resort, a value of $3,600.n Third place went
to Rina Berkshire who receives a $1,200 back-yard barbecue package which includes a new BBQ, patio set and Qual-ity Foods gift card.n Proceeds from the
lottery will be used
to purchase new, and much-needed equipment for the Campbell River Hospital; a video proces-sor for Endoscopy and an ICU bed with rotation module.n This year’s lottery
sponsors were The Travel Place, Quality Foods, Sonora Resort and the Campbell River Mirror.

A n o c t o g e n a r i a n accused of killing his spouse is free on bail.
Konstanty (Karol) But-kiewicz, 84, of Campbell River is currently free after posting $25,000 cash bail. As part of his bail conditions, he is bound by an 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew.
He’s accused of killing his 71-year-old com-mon-law wife Caroline Doreen Surrett. She was found dead Feb. 25, in the house they shared
at 874 S. Alder St., after RCMP received a 911 call.
Butkiewicz’ next court appearance is April 7, to set future court dates. He’s charged with second degree murder.

The NDP is accusing the provincial govern-ment of handing over control of B.C.’s blue box recycling system to Toronto-based multina-tional executives who will be unaccountable while B.C. businesses and households pay higher costs.
Opposition small busi-ness critic Lana Popham raised the issue of Multi Material BC in the Leg-islature Monday, call-ing on the province to change course before the agency’s new system for recycling packaging and printed paper takes effect May 19.
“If government doesn’t take a step back, B.C.’s recycling system is going to end up in a giant dumpster,” Popham said.
“The control of recy-
cling should never have been outsourced to the large corporate inter-ests based in Ontario and abroad. This is a profound failure. This p r o g r a m needs to be paused and the entire c o n c e p t recons id-ered.”
Popham’s comments follow the l a u n c h earlier this month of a campaign a g a i n s t M M B C by a coali-tion of business groups, including the newspaper industry, who say they can’t afford to pay high fees imposed under the new sys-tem.
“ T h e L i b e r a l g o v e r n -ment loves to c l a i m t h e y ’ r e getting rid of red tape,” she said in an interview Monday. “So it’s quite ironic because MMBC is
a Godzilla-sized red tape monster.”
A l t h ou g h M M B C is registered as a soci-ety, Popham called it a “dummy corporation”
b e c a u s e two of its three direc-t o r s a r e To r o n t o -b a s e d s e n i o r e x e c u -tives with L o b l a w s and Unile-ver, while the third is MMBC m a n a g -ing direc-tor Allan
Langdon.The Saanich South
NDP MLA said the prov-ince should force MMBC to give B.C. stakeholders
m a j o r i t y control.
Po p h a m s a i d t h e M M B C system will be “danger-ously close
to monopoly” resulting in less competititon and innovation in recycling.
She also said munici-
palities have been pres-sured into signing con-tracts with inadequate compensation for their costs, the threat of pen-alties for contamina-tion and a gag clause. MMBC’s new recycling fees on businesses will be passed along to con-sumers through higher prices, Popham said, call-ing it a “hidden tax” that won’t be transparent to consumers.
Meanwhile, she says cities are unlikely to rebate property taxes that households already pay for recycling.
“ T h e s l o g a n f or MMBC should probably be ‘Recycle once, but pay twice.’”
In some cities where MMBC won’t provide services, such as Kam-loops, residents will pay for nothing, Popham added.
MMBC says it will take new types of containers and packaging not col-lected in B.C. before.
But Popham noted glass will no longer be collected curbside in many cities and there’s little evidence the system will improve recycling
rates overall. She said a smarter approach would have been to extend the beverage can deposit-refund system to more containers, such as milk cartons and laundry detergent jugs.
Liberal MLA Eric Fos-ter (Vernon Monashee) responded in the Legis-lature, saying the prov-ince made changes to exempt most businesses
from MMBC fees and paperwork if they earn less than $1 million in revenue, generate less than one tonne per year of packaging, or operate as a single outlet.
“We’ve got all kinds of validation on this — chambers of commerce, local government, oppor-tunities for local govern-ment to either continue the way they’re doing it
or to have MMBC put their contractors in there to pick up,” said Foster, who serves on the gov-ernment’s environment and land use committee.
“MMBC came forward as an opportunity to change people’s way of doing business and to put the onus on the original producers of the waste product or the recyclable product to reduce.”

The city has updated its southern boundary extension proposal in order to provide more properties with city sewer services all at once.
Under the new pro-posal, Campbell River is committing to pro-vide sewer service to all 535 properties south to McGimpsey Road (esti-mated population of 1,235) in both the phase one and phase two sewer
areas at the same time. Originally, the city pro-
posed to deal with phase two properties at a later date due to not enough grant funding.
T h e c h a n g e w a s prompted by comments made by Area D resi-dents at a February open house held at Ocean Grove Elementary and other feedback.
“After hearing the feedback from the open house and reviewing the financing options, coun-cil recognized that a mar-
ginal increase in city debt would allow us to pro-vide sewer service to the entire area,” said Coun. Andy Adams, who holds the financial portfolio.
“The option presented will provide some cer-tainty to the residents in the proposed boundary extension area that sewer services will be provided, and provides clarity for both the Strathcona Regional District and the city in moving forward with capital planning for infrastructure.”
The proposal, however, is contingent upon the Strathcona Regional Dis-trict agreeing to transfer a grant worth $3.4 mil-lion and on senior gov-ernments agreeing to extend the grant beyond 2015 when it’s set to expire.
If 51 per cent of the affected residents vote during an upcoming referendum in favour of joining the city each prop er ty owner i s expected to pay $9,300 – either in one lump sum
or over the course of 20 years, likely starting in 2015.
Residents would have up to five years to con-nect to the city’s sewer system and also pay the $1,800 connection fee.
There would also be a third cost – to connect their home to the sewer line.
Ron Neufeld, the city’s general manager of operations, said the cost would vary significantly from property to prop-erty.
“It depends where the septic field is,” Neufeld said. “If it’s in the back or front makes a differ-ence in where they need to hook up to. How the house is landscaped, if there’s a concrete drive-way in the way, or plant-ers – it completely varies.
“The best thing to do is call up a local contrac-tor to give an estimate of what the cost would be to a particular property.”
Neufeld said when North Campbell River and Quinsam areas
joined onto the city’s sewer system – in the 1990s – costs ranged from one extreme to the other. For some, the pro-cess was relatively simple and the property owners were able to do the work themselves.
Meanwhile, city coun-cil has removed two large undeveloped par-cels from its bound-ary extension area. The properties are located on the western limit of what has been called “sewer area one.”

It didn’t take long for the furor to erupt after it was learned the source of the latest measles outbreak in Chilliwack was a local Christian private school.
The school – and the church that supports it – has been in the spotlight before over its aversion to vaccinations. Past outbreaks of measles, mumps and whooping cough have all been tied to the community. And that association once again drew an immediate rebuke from people
across the country. And rightly so.Religious freedom is a fundamental part of our
Canadian identity. But that freedom should not excuse parents from denying their children the simple tools that can protect them from life-threatening, or life-altering diseases. More so, choosing not to vaccinate has implications that extend beyond one community.
It leaves others – particularly children too young for vaccination – vulnerable to a disease they might otherwise escape. But while it was a particular religious community that has drawn the most fire over the outbreak, it cannot be overlooked that others are also guilty.
Fraser Health estimates the percentage of the population in the Chilliwack area with adequate
immunization is around 70 per cent. That leaves a significant chunk of the population either choosing not to vaccinate, or failing to ensure their inoculations are up-to-date. There are no good reasons for either.
Fears that vaccinations carry some harm have long been exposed for what they are: paranoia cloaked in junk science. The bigger concern is complacency. We’ve come to expect that the childhood diseases that were once so common have disappeared. What we forget is their absence is due to a stringent vaccination regime. By failing to maintain that regime we are welcoming back illnesses that we have fought long and hard to protect our families from.

John Duncan, MP;I agree with your political party in that there is a need
for Canada’s electoral system to be reformed. Our Canadian democracy must have a voting process that is fair, is seen to be fair and allows every Canadian citizen of voting age to vote, regardless of their address, lack of address or posses-sion of a specific piece of identification. It is the duty of our Chief Electoral Officer to ensure that every accommodation to enable each Canadian citizen to vote is made, regardless of the citizen’s social status, literacy skill, ethnicity, place of residence, or any other imagined qualification that can be made up.
I see the need for Canada’s Chief Electoral Officer to be completely independent from the governing party and the opposition parties. He should answer to the Parliament as a whole, not to any political party or any governing coalition. His budget must established outside of the usual budgetary process to ensure he is not hobbled by partisan politics. He must have complete autonomy to investigate all reported irregularities and require witnesses to testify or be found guilty of contempt of court.

The B.C. NDP’s survival is on the lineThe B.C. NDP leadership contest is
officially underway, with the entry of Vancouver Island veteran John Hor-gan in a reluctant reprise of his 2011 run against Port Coquitlam MLA Mike Farnworth.
Unfortunately for them, weekend campaign events were overshadowed by revelations of flagrant abuse of taxpay-ers’ money by the executive and board of the Portland Hotel Society. A pair of audits finally released last week on this network of Downtown Eastside social agencies revealed systematic looting of the $28 million a year in taxpayers’ money that has kept this supposed char-ity running.
Alas for the NDP, local MLA Jenny Kwan not only failed to keep an eye on it, her recently separated husband was
one of the executives who took part for years, and she benefited to the tune of $35,000 in luxury travel. That’s what we know about, since much of the evidence wasn’t produced for the auditors.
When this Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous scheme finally came to light, Kwan hastily paid back the $35,000 and announced she’s taking an unpaid leave of absence. Her tearful claim that she believed nothing was wrong is simply not credible. She not only must have known of her husband Dan Small’s jet-set ways, she participated in at least two trips, one to Vienna and Bristol, England to do “research” and attend a poverty conference from high-end hotels.
If it wants to retain any shred of cred-ibility as it spouts misleading poverty statistics and simplistic solutions, the
party must get rid of Kwan, who has two years left to max out her MLA pension.
MLA pensions were a factor in the 2010 ouster of Carol James, who infuri-ated the old guard by trying to defuse a public backlash against a generous pay and benefits package worked out in private between the NDP and the B.C. Liberals. Kwan would later take a lead-ing role in the caucus revolt that forced James out as leader.
Long-time political watchers will see the PHS abuse as a bigger, uglier version of the Nanaimo Commonwealth Hold-ings Society scandal. There the siphon-ing off of bingo funds from charities cost Mike Harcourt his job as premier. In that case, NDP MLAs sat on the board, took their monthly cut and kept quiet.
There’s more. Horgan became enraged
last year at the reporter who took a tip from the B.C. Liberals to reveal the NDP was skimming constituency office bud-gets to pay for its own “ethnic outreach” operation in Vancouver. Horgan had rubber-stamped the plan with a since-dismissed legislature accountant, and thought he had kept it secret after the Auditor-General blew the whistle. His willingness to assess its ethics remains in question to this day.
Then there is Craig Keating, who took over as party president from Moe Sihota last year. Did he inherit the $72,000 sal-ary negotiated by Sihota with the B.C. Federation of Labour and two of its larg-est unions? If so, do Horgan and Farn-worth think this is appropriate?

BC will begin process-ing fish, wildlife and park use permit applications through their 29 regional locations effective April 1, Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Oper-ations Minister Steve Thomson announced last week.
Since 2004, the Minis-try’s Permit and Autho-rization Service Bureau was the central bureau
to process fish, wildlife and park use permits. As FrontCounter BC staff already assist clients and process a number of natural resource applica-tions, the addition of fish, wildlife and parks use permits fits well within the scope of Front-Counter BC services and further enhances ser-vice available to clients through the 29 offices
throughout the prov-ince and online through: www.FrontCounterBC.gov.bc.ca
The Ministry of For-ests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations is committed to integrat-ing natural resource sec-tor services and improve citizens’ access to gov-ernment services. Part of that improvement is to streamline permit-
ting processing, decrease turnaround times, and eliminate red tape. Mov-ing the fish, wildlife and park use permitting to the 29 FrontCounter BC offices provides an efficient one window approach that clients demanded and will help prevent permit backlogs in the future.
Hunting and fishing licences continue to be available through retail-ers.
Fishing licences are also available online at: http://www.gofishbc.com/how-to-fish/fish-ing-licence-bc.aspx
The 10 staff associ-ated with the Permit and Authorization Service
Bureau are being offered the opportunity to relo-cate to a FrontCounter BC office or alternate positions within govern-ment.
Quick Facts:n FrontCounter BC
offers more than 130 natural resource-related permits and authoriza-tions at each location.
n FrontCounter BC provides services on behalf of 16 additional partner agencies.n Since Jan. 1, 2007,
over 58,900 authoriza-tions have been pro-cessed.n The FrontCounter
BC contact centre han-dles more than 25,000 inquiries annually.

relationship with gov-ernment unions even be discussed in the carefully staged leadership contest that’s about to begin?
Then there’s the policy shipwreck left behind by Adrian Dix. His plan to use environmental assessment as a weapon
to torpedo industrial projects remains popu-lar with the party’s urban base.
Farnworth and Horgan have paid lip service to the notion that projects like the Trans Moun-tain pipeline expan-sion should be properly assessed. Meanwhile the federal NDP fights
to keep stacking pub-lic hearings with pre-selected protesters.
The party may wish to consider what would give its next B.C. leader any hope of governing.

ever staff is required to investigate robocalls, in and out financing or any other scheme devised to influence Canada’s vot-ing processes or influ-ence the outcome of any election.
His budget should be sufficient to see any investigation to its con-clusion.
When the Chief Elec-
toral Officer finds an instance of voting irregu-larity and when it is pos-sible that it influenced the outcome of the rid-ing’s election, then the remedy needs to be the cancelation of the results of that riding’s election. Should the irregular-ity be the result of a candidate’s actions or a political party’s actions, that candidate or party
should be disqualified from running in the bye-lection.
These investigations need to be concluded before the new parlia-ment is convened. A caretaker coalition would have to be established to govern Canada until the investigations are con-cluded.

A nice, fat tax refund cheque feels nice but, when you stop and think about it, you may be better off fi nancially if you didn’t get it. The reality is that your refund isn’t a gift from the government – it’s your money that you overpaid in tax deductions from your pay cheque over the course of the year. And the government has that money for its use, interest-free. Instead of working for you this year, your money has been working for the government.
Getting a big tax refund is not good tax planning. Here are a few tips to help you keep more of your money working toward your fi nancial goals – as well as a few ways to use this years’ tax refund (if you got one) to enhance your fi nancial future.
How not to get a tax refund
1. Keep more of each pay by reducing the amount of tax withheld Each pay period, your employer withholds a portion or your paycheque and sends it
to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) to cover your estimated year-end taxes. If that amount is excessive, you’ll eventually get a refund cheque – but it’s much more fi nancially advantageous to apply to have it reduced by submitting a T1213 form to CRA – that way, you’ll keep a few extra dollars each month that you can invest for you own benefi t.
2. Pay tax installments on time If you are on a quarterly personal income tax payment schedule, your installments are due on the 15th of March, June, September and December. Avoid penalties and interest by always making your payments on time.
3. Get an early RRSP deduction A common reason for a tax refund is a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) contribution deducted at tax time. But if you’ve made your contributions earlier in the year, you can apply to the CRA (using form T1213) for a Letter of Authority that allows you employer to reduce the withholding taxes on your regular paycheque based
on the amount of your RRSP contribution. If you make RRSP contributions through payroll deductions, you don’t need a Letter of Authority – just ask your employer to adjust your tax withholdings to refl ect your RRSP contributions.
How to get the most from your tax refund1. Pay down high-cost credit card debt.2. Make an extra mortgage payment.3. Pay off your RRSP loan.4. Maximize your RRSP and Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) contributions or top-up contribution room from past years.5. Add tax-advantaged Canadian equities to your non-registered portfolio.

“The rhythm of life is a powerful beat, puts a tin-gle in your fingers and a tingle in your feet.” These lyrics from the play Sweet Charity will set the mood for the upcoming concert by the acclaimed Island Voices Chamber Choir under the direc-tion of Jo-Anne Preston. The concert’s will be presented in Campbell River on April 12, and in Comox on April 13.
The choir will take you on a journey of cho-ral music that will have you experiencing the wonders of nature – riv-ers, sun, birds and bugs – as well as the incred-ible diversity of emo-tions that life brings as we travel through birth, childhood, courtship, marriage, parenthood, old age and the chal-lenges of life’s end. The
audience will be treated to a program of primarily a cappella compositions that range from a Renais-sance madrigal, a lush arrangement by Gustav Holst of an English Folk song and a charming lul-laby by Campbell River musician Jim Vining. Guest artist harpist and vocalist Roger Helfrick will also mesmerize the audience with his haunt-ing melodies.
The Campbell River audiences can take this journey on Saturday, April 12 at the Maritime Heritage Centre.
The concert begins at 7 p.m. Tickets are $18 or $15 for students and seniors and include a reception following the concert. They can be purchased at the Camp-bell River Visitor Infor-mation Centre.
The Comox Valley concert will take place at 7 p.m., April 13 at Comox United Church.
Tickets are $15 or $12 for students and seniors. They can be purchased at Blue Heron bookstore, or
Laughing Oyster book-store.
For more information about either concert call 250-285-3560 or 250-871-6943, or visit the website www.islandvoic-eschamberchoir.bc.ca

Island Voices Chamber Choir gears up for its next performance – April 12 at the Maritime Heritage Centre.
Rhythm of life is a powerful beat
Gardeners Green Folk Club is pleased to announce its next house concert on Saturday April 5.
The performers will be Qualicum band Celtic Chaos.
These fun-loving folks play soulful fid-dle, sweet accordion, Irish flute, and grooving bass. Add to that heart-warming vocals, stories, and poems with a Scot-tish twist, and you have an original, contempo-rary take on traditional entertainment from the lands of the Celts and beyond.
As those who saw them at Gardeners Green two years ago will well remember, they kept us laughing, singing along and tap-ping our feet all eve-ning, and everyone went home with spirits lifted and smiles on their faces.
No wonder Celtic Chaos are known for their infectious good humour, high energy, and engaging perfor-mances.
Celtic Chaos have just released their new CD, Puredeadbrilliant, which captures the essence of a live perfor-
mance.Tickets are $20 each
and include hot drinks and a dessert buf-fet. Tickets must be reserved in advance and seating is limited.
For more informa-tion, and to reserve tickets, call 250-337-5337.
Have a jolly good time with Celtic Chaos
The fun-loving quartet, known as Celtic Chaos prepares to entertain the masses at the next house concert, April 5.

Motorists travelling downtown may experi-ence traffic slowdowns once again on St. Ann’s and Alder streets.
While St. Ann’s, Beech, Dubeau, and Alder are all still open to traffic, construction crews have been back working in the area and are expected to remain there through the week. That’s because some minor tweaks are being made to the St. Ann’s block project as it nears completion.
Some of the new side-walk panels are being
replaced because pedes-trians stepped on the sidewalk while the con-crete was still setting. Any panels that have footprints or issues with the surface finish are being re-done. The city says the project contrac-tor is also repositioning paving stones at the St. Ann’s and Alder Street crosswalk as some of the stones shifted over time time and because of wet weather when sections of the granite blocks were first placed.
Having the contrac-tor reposition them will result in a smoother more level surface for
pedestrians, according to the city. All of the final touches to the proj-ect come at no extra cost to the city. This isn’t the first time that portions of the city’s $4.05 million downtown revitalization project have had to be adjusted.
A few months ago crews had to shave down the corner at the bottom of St. Ann’s and Shoppers Row after complaints from the public that the corner stuck out. The jutting slab of concrete posed problems for city bus drivers who had to either turn into oncom-ing traffic on St. Ann’s to
make the right-hand turn off of Shoppers or move into the straight-through lane on Shoppers in order to make the turn. The downtown project involves upgrades to sewer, water, and storm drainage, new road sur-faces, new trees lining Alder, St. Ann’s, and Beech streets, new side-walks and public areas. The project is supposed to complement the new Seymour Pacific head-quarters building cur-rently under construc-tion on the same block and make the down-town more walkable and pedestrian-friendly.
Taxes will be going down in Area D this year thanks to a surplus of funds held in a savings account for area parks and other capital proj-ects.
Are a D Dire c tor Brenda Leigh chose to refund taxpayers $350,000 which will be put towards reducing the tax rate in Area D. The estimated property tax of $1,339 for the aver-
age assessed home at $296,115 is a decrease of $95.22 over the 2013 tax rate. Cortes Island Director Noba Ander-son pointed out that it’s a significant amount of money that’s being refunded but said she was confident Leigh was doing the right thing.
“I have some unease with having no public input,” Anderson said March 12 at the regional
district board meeting. “I trust there’s been consul-tation in your commu-nity that hasn’t come to the board. It’s just a lot of money (but) I trust your judgement.”
Some directors were concerned with passing all three readings and adoption of the neces-sary bylaw all at once but Director Jim Abram (Quadra Island) said the topic has been discussed
previously and the board should be familiar with what’s going on.
“This item has been back and forth for at least a year,” Abram said.
Leigh said it had to be done at last week’s meet-ing because the refund will affect the tax num-bers in the Strathcona Regional District’s finan-cial plan, which is sched-uled to be adopted at the March 27 meeting.

It is with great sadness that the family of Richard Krentz announces his sudden and unexpected passing. Richard leaves behind to
mourn, his mother Grace, sisters Dorothy and Dawn, brother Ralph, ex-wives Audrey and Cheryl, daughter Richanne (Chuck), grandchildren Natasha and Tyson, as well as, several nieces and nephews.Richard grew up on Nelson Island, BC amongst a large, close family. In his early teens, his family moved to Saltery Bay. Richard developed his entrepreneurial spirit at this same age which began with commercial cartooning and sign making. He entered the logging industry at the age of 15 and had much success over the years. In the early 80s Richard reconnected with the artist in him and began a career in Aboriginal art and tourism.Richard was larger than life and a real character. He was a born leader, risk taker and had a passionate spirit that guided him throughout his life. If you had the opportunity to meet Richard, he was definitely someone who left a lasting impression. Richard will be most remembered for his fearlessness and "get it done" attitude towards life, as well as, his big heart and generosity. A celebration of life will be held by his family at a later date.

When assembling an organized team in any sport, the goal, no matter how lofty it may be, is to win it all.
The unfortunate reality is that the vast majority of teams fail to achieve their ultimate goal.
The KLP Construction Peewee A Tyee team was assembled last summer with the goal of win-ning the Provincial Tier II Championship. An incredible amount of time and energy was devoted by everyone involved.
“The plan from the start was to prepare our-selves to not only make the Provincial Tourna-ment but to win it,” said head coach Pat Corrado.
Well, the plan worked!With Campbell River
arguably placed in the more competitive of the two pools, succeeding during round robin play to make the playoffs was a challenge in itself.
The challenge became even grander when Burn-aby Winter Club, the team arguably favoured to win it all, scored two unanswered goals in the third period of game one of round robin play to defeat Campbell River 4-3 despite surrendering
three shorthanded goals to Tyee captain Jalen Price.
The loss to Burnaby meant the Tyees needed to win their second r o u n d - r o b i n g a m e against the Port Moody Panthers.
Port Moody jumped out to a 4-1 lead and what looked to be an insur-
mountable hill to climb for the Tyees. Amazingly, the three-goal deficit motivated the Tyees to score eight of the last nine goals to bury the awestricken Panthers 9-5.
Though a good Fort St. John Flyers team awaited Campbell River in the final round-robin game, the high octane Tyees
continued on their torrid pace, flattening the Fly-ers 10-4 to put the team in the playoffs.
A four goal perfor-mance by Price and a hat-trick by Davis Frank helped propel the Tyees to a convincing 10-3 vic-tory over the Williams Lake Timberwolves and a chance for redemp-
tion on the biggest stage against Burnaby Winter Club.
Price opened the scor-ing on a slap shot from just inside the blue line to give the Tyees the all-important first goal, but a single reply by Burnaby had the game knotted at one after the first. Bren-dan Almer assisted on a
Grady Robertson goal to give the Tyees their second lead of the game, but two quick replies at the mid-way point of the game put the Tyees down by one. A clear-cut breakaway goal by River Fahey tied the game going into the sec-ond intermission and set the stage for a nail-biting
ending to a memorable game. Goals by Frank and Price early in the final frame put Camp-bell River in the lead to stay, and a late goal into an empty net by defence-man Bryce Narhi closed out the scoring on what would be an unforget-table season.
“It truly was amazing to watch how we com-peted, led by our “C” Jalen Price, with the sup-port and great play of all players who were asked to accept their support-ing roles for the team – as they worked to win the Provincial Title,” said coach Corrado. “Our kids continued to work hard all year.”
Ty e e g o a l t e n d e r Antoine Minfray was recognized for his out-standing play throughout the playoffs. The entire team thanks team man-ager Grant Parker, and assistant coaches Peter Apostolakos, Greg Fox and Craig Robertson for their commitment and dedication to the team, which made this year possible. The team also thanks KLP Construc-tion for sponsoring the Tyees, and the commu-nity of Campbell River for its support.

Spring is the perfect time to turn over a new leaf and start getting active. Introducing regular physical activity into your life is an important fi rst step towards better health, a happier mindset, and more. The whole family will benefi t from increased activity and getting on the road to a healthier lifestyle.There are so many known benefi ts to physical activity and an active lifestyle. Among them are a reduced risk of heart disease, premature death and stroke. Being active has also been proven to help improve self-esteem and confi dence, help you sleep better, increase your energy and reduce depression, among many other things. Furthermore, it helps maintain functional independence, mobility, and bone health.For many of us, it can be quite daunting to take that fi rst step towards an active lifestyle. And it can be more challenging to start something new without any help. The good news is residents of BC have access to a free physical activity counselling service called the Physical Activity Line (PAL). Through a phone call or online, qualifi ed exercise professionals are available to provide exercise and physical activity advice and help you develop a customized physical activity plan for every member of the family, from children
to older adults.When it comes to physical activity, more is better. To
achieve the health benefi ts, it is important to try and progress towards the Canadian Physical
Activity Guidelines, which recommend at least 60 minutes of physical activity
per day for children and youth and 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous intensity activity each week
for adults. Adults and older adults should also add muscle- and bone-
strengthening activities that work the major muscle groups at least twice a week to help with balance and prevent falls for those with mobility impairments.Physical activity doesn’t have to mean playing a sport or going to the gym. Playing a family game of tag, going for a swim or taking a walk outside with the family pet or to the store to get groceries count towards the physical activity recommendations.Try out something new; you may fi nd your new favourite activity! In any case, you’re bound to have some fun and feel like a happier and healthier you.
The Physical Activity Line is available Monday to Friday between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m in the Lower Mainland, toll-free at 1-877-725-1149. For more information, visit www.physicalactivityline.com or email info@physicalactivity.com.
Other physical activity resources include ParticipACTION (www.participACTION.com) and Healthy Families BC(www.healthyfamiliesbc.ca).

City counci l has granted the Seniors’ Society a slight increase in the amount of hours the group can use the Sportsplex rent-free.
Council upped the time from 13.75 hours per week to 15 hours per week.
Rent-free time at the Community Centre remains at nine hours per week.
Council last sum-mer waived rental fees and staff costs for the Seniors’ Society use of both spaces but now the seniors want for more hours.
“The society has been requesting additional hours to host programs, special events and fund-raisers,” said Lynn Wark, the city’s recreation and culture manager.
“Staff are not clear if the intention of the resolution is that these additional requests are to be provided at no cost.”
Wark said the problem is the city’s 2014 budget contains $75,000 for the seniors’ use of the facili-ties but that does not account for additional rent-free hour requests.
Wark added that it’s a balancing act between accommodating the seniors and ensuring other users still have the opportunity to use both the Sportsplex and Community Centre.
“In an ef for t to ensure that all interest groups are served, it is important to consider that any additional space requested by the Seniors’ Society should not displace current recreation programs, special events or rent-als,” Wark said.
Council in the end elected to grant the seniors free use of the Community Centre for nine hours per week and the Sportsplex for 15 hours each week.
Council also stipu-lated that each request from the seniors for additional hours of use be brought to council by the Seniors’ Society for approval and necessary budget changes.
M e a n w h i l e , t h e seniors are still look-ing to open and operate their own seniors centre since being displaced from the Campbell River Common Mall last year.
Since re-locating, membership in the
Seniors’ Society has dwindled from around 650 to approximately 250 members, largely
due to the location of Sportsplex which hosts the seniors’ lunch.
The Sportsplex is out
of walking distance for most of the members and is much further away from the Com-
munity Centre transit depot than the former seniors centre in the mall.
The Seniors’ Society has gone before city council several times to ask for help. Council for
its part decided to help the seniors by providing space in its facilities rent free.

BC Lobby7x14

Under its new regulations, the BC Government has set up an association led by big corporations to take over the local Blue Box recycling program throughout BC. If you look closely, you’ll see that of seven board members, six are executives of Toronto-based multi-national corporations, with the seventh weighing in from Montreal.
How do you like that, British Columbia?
This means, unlike the current program run locally by BC municipalities, this new program will be managed not by people whose fi rst responsibility is our local environment, but rather, their Bay St. profi ts.
That can’t be a good thing for BC.
The most perplexing thing is that we currently have a Blue Box program that works, is effi cient, and costs BC homeowners just
$35 a year on average. The new proposed system does not guarantee to keep our local environment as its fi rst priority, nor does it guarantee that there won’t be job losses here in BC.
It doesn’t guarantee service levels, or say anything about how big business will pass along the costs to you when you go to pick up a pizza or buy groceries.
Yikes!
Perhaps this is why several of BC’s municipalities refuse to sign onto the new program, calling it a “scam.” Given that, maybe it’s time you called Premier Clark to keep BC’s environmental decisions right here in BC where they belong.
What’s going on here?
