The Comox Valley RCMP have a suspect in custody in relation to the Coastal Community Credit Union bank robbery in Comox and the Bank of Montreal robbery in Campbell River last week.

Police say that after an extensive investigation by the Comox Valley RCMPs General Investigation Section, and assist-ance from the general public, a 25-year-old Merville man was arrested.

The man is believed to be responsible for the Comox and the Campbell River robberies which occurred on Dec. 9.

The RCMP says it will con-tinue to gather information and anyone who believes they may have information related to these crimes is being asked to please contact the Comox Valley RCMP at 250-338-1321.

To remain anonymous you can call Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or text:cvcstipsto crime.

The suspect will remain in custody until Jan. 2, 2014 when he will appear on two counts of robbery.

Rottie Doberman Shepherd cross Axl told his owner Emma that he wants guns and roses for Christmas, but he is encouraging everyone to come to the Canadian Tire Christmas tree sales location to buy your fresh cut local tree. In doing so, you contribute to the SPCA fund raiser. Thousands have been raised for the local SPCA over the years by Lorna the Christmas Tree Lady who works tirelessly from morning to dusk selling the trees.

Campbell River Mayor Walter Jakeway is not alone in being turfed by his council from a directors seat on the Strathcona Regional District board.

And he received support from a fellow top dog, Lantzville Mayor Jack de Jong who says he has taken up what he called the serious distortion of the democratic process with Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development, Coralee Oakes.

In a letter to Jakeway, de Jong sympathized with him and told him to take heart, you now join the elite club including the mayors of Port Alberni, Qualicum Beach and Lantzville.

It does not speak well for the community and the post of its elected leader when council uses a loophole in the legislation to bounce the mayor, said de Jong. I have communicated to Minister Oakes that I view this a serious distortion of the democratic process. Mayors run in elec-tions and the process declares a winner, the peoples choice. There is no second place. Councillors basically run in a popularity contest first, second, etc. and compete for six times the total eligible electoral vote (up to a max of the electors).

de Jong said he views a councillors legitimacy as sub-ordinate to the mayor because of the process.

de Jong also called the move by city councillors as nothing but a power play at the cost of the democratic pro-cess.

The Knights of Columbus are wrap-ping up the final week of their 40th Annual Community Christmas Hamper Fund and have just under 1,100 homes to deliver to.

On Saturday, Dec. 21, its delivery day,

and while the Hamper Depot is in the same location as the past two years, beside Banners Restaurant in the Tyee Plaza, there is a change for the many people who bring their vehicles to aid with the home deliveries.

Kevin Geary with the Knights of Columbus said that the access route used the past two years is not available due to the new construc-tion in the area immediately north of Banners.

We have therefore been forced to adapt and have set up the procedure that follows, said Geary. Drivers are asked to line up on Roberts Reach on the ocean side of the Island Highway across from McDonalds Restaurant. We have enlisted the services of professional flag people who will direct drivers to the load-ing area (behind Banners) as space becomes available. Please do not drive directly to the rear of the depot as there is no space for extra vehicles.

The Knights said that help is needed to

build the Hampers on Friday afternoon about 2:30 p.m., in order to get a head start, and again on Saturday morning from about 8 a.m. until the task is completed.

We thank you in advance for your patience and generosity is making the effort a success and helping to ensure that all will feel the joy and warmth of the season, said Geary. Donations are being accepted up to Friday, Dec. 20 and we can be reached by phone at 250-286-6361.

The new Area D Residents and Ratepayers Association (ADRRA) had a huge turn-out to its inaugural community meeting held last week at the Oyster Bay Resort.

In spite of the cold weather and icy roads there was standing room only as the three founding members addressed the audience and pre-sented their vision and goals for the organization.

Chairman Rod Nugent, Vice-Chairman Bob Solc and Director Pat Evans had been preparing and plan-ning this meeting for months with the expectation of around 50 atten-dees with perhaps 20 or 30 member-ship signups.

To our amazement approximate-ly 120 area residents attended and by the end of the evening ADDRAs membership stood at approximately

70 members, said Nugent. We were overwhelmed by the

size of the turnout and delighted by the response to the concept of our organization, said Bob Solc, a retired geological engineer and eight-year resident of the area. Overall, it was a very positive experience.

During the open mike session residents were given the opportunity to express their main local concerns.

Chief among those concerns was the ongoing Area D sewer contro-versy which, by sheer coincidence, had taken on renewed focus that very morning with the announce-ment by the City of Campbell River of its invitation to annex large sec-tions of the northern portion of Area D in the near future in order to con-nect to the existing Campbell River sewer system.

Everyone is focusing on how this annexation will affect the prop-erty taxes in the sewer lands but no one is talking about the effect on tax levels in other Area D properties, said Solc. There could be massive tax increases for everyone. The resi-dents need answers, and very soon.

Nugent, a retired local dentist and long term resident of the area, invit-ed members to get actively involved

in supporting the work of the group by contributing their ideas or volun-teering on sub-committees.

A lot of effort will be required to make ADRRA an effective resi-dents association, said Nugent. With the energy and passion that I felt in the room tonight, I know that we can pull this off.

The association is open to resi-dents of Area D, both homeowners and renters, as well as land owners, acreage owners and business owners. The next meeting will be held in late January. Memberships are still avail-able. Presently, the cost is by dona-tion. Applications can be obtained by email : [email protected].

Friday the 13th proved to be ominous for the stu-dents and staff at both North Island College campuses in Campbell River and Comox, as well as Timberline Secondary School.

All were evacuated Friday morning and sent home for the day because of a bomb threat.

Firefighters, RCMP and search dog(s) attended the school to look for explosive devices after a threat was made against North Island College, via a note found in the community.

The search conducted by the RCMP and Fire Department was extremely thorough and extensive, said Tom Longridge, Superintendent and CEO of School District 72.

Although the threat was made against North Island College, the entire Timberline/NIC campus was searched and no suspicious items were found. The evacuation of the building was well coordinated, orderly, and calm.

Longridge commended the staff and administration of the school for doing an excellent job, and said the students conducted themselves with great maturity and were respectful of the potential gravity of the situa-tion.

He was unaware of any previous bomb threats made against schools in the school district.

AFTERMATH OF THE UNTHINKABLE

Bomb threat proves a hoax

Photo by Sian ThomsonStaff and students outside North Island College after the bomb threat Friday.

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

By Rick JeffreyAs we get set to put the finishing

touches on 2013 in just a few weeks, its a good time to take stock of one of British Columbias most important industries about where it is and where wed like to see it go.

The latest studies by Price Waterhouse Coopers (PWC) and Coast Forest Products Association have unveiled an exciting snapshot of where coast forestry is today.

It reveals a people-focussed indus-try that has undergone exciting trans-formations and emerged dynamic, modern, sustainable and high-tech. We pride ourselves on being highly integrated across industries with our member companies offering a plethora of opportunities that positively impact the lifestyles and livelihoods of thou-sands of British Columbians.

Above all, Coast Forest member companies are people-focussed, pay-ing more than $373 million per year in salaries with surveyed companies pay-ing an average of $40/hour in wages and benefits to their employees.

An estimated 38,000 people in communities throughout BC rely on a healthy coastal forest industry for their jobs (direct, indirect, induced) and this includes an estimated 5,735 direct jobs from contract logging.

Further, coastal forestry in B.C.

supports an important and valuable manufacturing sector in our province. More than 3,100 people work in over 100 companies producing value-added solid wood products like flooring, architectural woodwork and cabinets while 2,700 people work directly for pulp and paper companies that manu-facture newsprint, specialty paper and other products.

As a stabilizing influence central to the health of our communities, were planning for the future. The coast forest products industry accounts for approximately 11 per cent of GDP in coastal B.C. and comprises an esti-mated 10 per cent of total jobs. Were investing in our people and in innova-tion with more than $543 million put into mill upgrades, new equipment, and skills training over the past five years.

The people of B.C. rely on coastal forestrys contributions to public ser-vices like health care, education and transportation infrastructure we provided almost $1 billion to the Crown between 2008 and 2013.

Other industries including transpor-tation, marine, finance, and insurance rely on us to be robust and grow stron-ger. Were doing just that, as markets all over the world continue to demand the quality of our wood and wood products.

Our snapshot tells a story about connection, integration and a plan for growing a bright future.

We know that coastal forestry con-nects people to livelihoods and, in turn connects them to their communities and the economy of the entire prov-ince.

So as we look ahead to 2014, we intend to continue our work with Government and build on the momen-tum of transformation. And as we are continually seeking new and innova-tive approaches to remaining viable and sustainable, were inviting every-one in coastal BC to join our conversa-tion and shape our future together at OurForestsOurRoots.org.

(Rick Jeffrey is President and CEO of the Coast Forest Products Association.)

Forestry industry, looking to the future

A lot of things happened last week that seem to have a connecting link. First a group of city coun-cillors voted to keep Mayor Walter Jakeway off the Strathcona Regional District Board, replacing him it seems with councillor Mary Storry.

On that same morning the city announced it was going to try to convince about 500 Area D residents to join the city and buck up for sewer installation. That is something Jakeway has warned them against because he says the city hasnt earned their mem-bership. Then that night, the Area D ratepayers most affected by that invitation, held their inaugural meeting.

A couple of days later city councillor Mary Storry nominated councillor Claire Moglove as chair of the regional district. She lost to long-time regional district representative Jim Abram.

So things seemed to be connected, but not co-ordinated.

The Area D residents just south of Campbell River must wonder why the city is offering them a chance to join up and get new sewers. If theres a septic problem in the area, is the city being seen as the White Knight come to the rescue?

The only problem is that the White Knight has a sullied suit of armour. Theres blood on it, from a council that has deposed its own Mayor. And theres the other fact about the White Knight that is prob-ably throwing a scare into the new city taxpayers.

Since 2006 the citys tax levy on residential prop-erties has grown from $9.6 million to $19 million in 2013. Obviously the city is relying heavily on residential taxation and new revenue sources to fund itself. So, the question is, how white is the White Knight?

White Knights

Poll question: If you were in Area D and asked to become a taxpayer in the city of Campbell River instead,

would you say yes?Vote at www.courierislander.com

From our readersSo the gang of four have done it again.In trying to silence the mayor these coun-

cillors have alienated many voters who, at the last election made it clear that they want an independent mayor with the interests of the citizens of Campbell River at heart.

To ride roughshod over the taxpayers inter-ests once is bad enough, but they have consist-ently ignored the wishes of those who pick up the bill. When the next election comes around

we must show our contempt and vote them out and we need more than a 30 per cent turnout. Or we will be saddled again with people who could care less about wasting taxes because they know they can raise them at will. Enough is enough. They are on notice, and they should start listening to the people of Campbell River who expect a council to work for them not against them.

The AppendixIf you studied human anatomy twenty or thirty years ago, you were probably taught that the appendix (or vermiform appendixthe small wormlike pouch that hangs from the cecum of the large intestine), was a useless structure, perhaps some vestigial organ that served a purpose in our long-distant past. I distinctly remember an argument some thirty years ago between my father (who argued that it must have some purpose) and my brother (who was in his fi rst or second year of medical school, and who argued that it had none that could be discerned). My fathers argument was based on his belief that God would not have created something without a purpose. He didnt necessarily know what the purpose was, but there must be one. People do just fi ne without one, my brother rejoined, and he asked, furthermore, what is the purpose of eyebrows? To keep sweat from getting in your eyes was my fathers answer, and wouldnt we look pretty strange without eyebrows? Medical science now believes that the appendix is a repository for the good bacteria that colonize our intestines and which aid in all sorts of important functions, from digestion to our immune system. So score one for Dad, and the view that to everything under heaven there is indeed apurpose. We may not always know that purpose but should trust to Providence that there is one.

Continued from page 1.Jakeway edged out incumbent councilor Roy Grant

by 39 votes in the 2011 municipal election. He garnered 2,741 votes compared to Grants 2,702.

Two new council members were also elected, Larry Samson who led the polls with 4,118 votes. The other newcomer on council was Ron Kerr who had 2,772 votes. Kerr was the only councillor who voted against not appointing Jakeway to the regional district.

Jakeways campaign was basically a lets clear house strategy. But while voters changed the face of the top position in the city, they still returned all four incumbent candidates.

Incumbent councilor Claire Moglove was second to Samson with 3,902 votes, incumbent Mary Storry had 3,753, incumbent Andy Adams had 3,581 while incum-bent Ryan Mennie took the sixth and last spot for coun-cilor with 2,672.

Jim Abram is the new chair of the Strathcona Regional District.

Abram had been a member of the Comox Strathcona Regional District since 1988, including serving as chairman from 2002 to 2006.

His appointment was confirmed

in a secret ballot of directors in the Strathcona Regional District. He was nominated by Gerald Whalley representative of Kyuquo/Nootka-Sayward.

Also nominated for board chair was Campbell River City councillor

Claire Moglove. She was nomin-ated by fellow city councillor Mary Storry. Both were involved in oust-ing Campbell River Mayor Walter Jakeway from a seat on the SRD just days before the CSRD meeting which was held Friday.

The BC Governments plans to reduce BC Ferries service on both minor and major routes is causing great concern in BCs tourism indus-try.

These short-sighted cost saving measures will greatly impact coastal tourism operations and the economic vibrancy of those communities that are serviced by BC Ferries, said Jim DeHart, President of the Wilderness Tourism Association of BC.

Our main concern is regarding the lack of certainty these plans create for the tourism industry, said DeHart. In many cases 2014 tour packages, that are dependent on BC Ferries, have already been sold and our tour oper-ators are now marketing BC tours for 2015 and beyond.

With no reasonable transporta-tion/access alternative, these 2014 tours will need to be rescheduled or cancelled causing significant loses in

revenues. Inbound tour operators will stop selling coastal tourism packages

due the uncertainty of access, which

will have a significant impact to our tourism product and competitive mar-keting position.

Tourism is a key contributor to British Columbias GDP and a signifi-cant private sector employer for BC. It has also been identified as a growth sector able to make a significant con-tribution to jobs and wealth creation in the future. Direct tourist expenditures on nature-based tourism products in BC is approximately $1.5 billion dollars and provides the equivalent of over 26,000 full time jobs. Nature-based tourism is also a major driver of BCs $13 billion plus tourism industry.

The BC Government needs to be planning any changes to BC Ferry services years in advance, and in con-sultation with the tourism industry, said DeHart. Only with this kind of planning can the tourism industry con-tinue to be in a competitive position in the expanding global marketplace, and contribute fully to the provinces future growth.

Campbell River always takes care of its own, and this holds true for little Natalia Corrigall, 4, who is battling Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, the most common form of childhood cancers.

An article in the Courier-Islander caught the attention of the Campbell River McDonalds Restaurant, who has been fund-

raising for the child this month.The outpouring of caring shown through

McDonalds fund raiser and the support of their customers is outstanding, said Christa Corrigall, mother to Natalia and three-year old sister Annabel. Campbell River surely unites as one when a family is in need. We are truly blessed and it keeps us so hopeful.

December for Natalia was highlighted by a little Christmas cheer as her mother described taking Natalia and her sister Annabel to watch

the truck lights parade in Campbell River, a brief respite from the darkness of ongoing chemotherapy treat-ments for the four year old.

We enjoyed the Truck Parade immense-ly, said Christa. Outdoor events are so great. Adorned with rain gear, blankets, buggy, we were so happy to attend. Thanks to the caring help from Jan T, we had a wonderful and memorable visit with Santa, Mrs. Claus and the elves. Santa gave Natalia a Christmas card saying hed talk to the elves about the pink scooter she wants. We got some beautiful photos from Grant Jones and well be sure to post them. Precious moments in the making. Its the third year in a row we have attended the parade. With a family so young, we are just starting our own Christmas traditions.

But there are some things the family doesnt want to be repeated.

What was supposed to be a routine chemo-therapy treatment before Christmas turned into a nightmare for the family two weeks ago as it was more than Natalias body could bare. She suffered chemo toxicity in the form of stomach upset, vomiting, very painful mouth sores and serious electrolyte imbal-ance. She was sent home with the support of local pediatrician Dr. Mark Lund, with fur-ther chemo being on hold until the little girl recovered.

We were hoping to be on a long break over Christmas but its not meant to be, said Christa. At her side, and together as a fam-ily, is Christmas for us.

Sensing that Natalia was headed for dan-ger, and taking her mothers intuition very seriously, from Christas observations the doc-tors re-admitted Natalia to hospital and into the intensive care unit.

I have been more afraid in the past 12 days than I have since the first week in hos-pital, said Christa. There were times in

the past days that I felt like she was slipping away from me.

Last Thursday there was, as Christa described, a bend in the right direction.

She is terribly weak still from 12 days of no food, her weight loss is shocking, her muscle mass has diminished and her mouth sores from chemo toxicity are brutally painful for her, said Christa. Were not out of the woods by any means but she is getting most excellent care.

Natalia calls for me in the night and reaches to the sky and I am so thankful for the precious bond we share that when our hands unite, she sinks back into sleep feeling safe and protected from the very hand that reaches back to hers.

Looking for the perfect gift? Well look no further! The Campbell River Festival of Film is now selling their winter seasons passes in time for Christmas. The passes are available at the Tidemark Theatre box office or on-line and sell for $45 plus tax and applicable fees. They entitle the holder to five wonderful films and include a series of dynamic shorts and draws at each screening.

The Festival is the result of a suc-cessful partnership that was formed 16 years ago with the Toronto International Film Festival Film Circuit. This partnership allows the Campbell River group to book films and shorts directly from Toronto that would not normally make their way to our Campbell River movie the-atres.

The organizers want everyone to know that all the proceeds go dir-ectly back into our community. Each year, bursaries and equipment are given to local students and schools. Equipment has also been donated to the Tidemark Theatre to help make it possible to showcase these great films.

The winter season will start Jan. 14 with Cas and Dylan followed by Burts Buzz on Jan. 28. The Hunt will be featured on Feb. 11 with Siddharth playing on Feb. 25. The season finale will be on March 11 and that title is Gabrielle, Canadas entry as best foreign film for the Academy Awards.

The organizers would like to remind film goers that this list is cur-rently tentative depending on avail-ability from Torontos festival.

This years winter seasons pass comes with an additional bonus. Several restaurants have partnered with the festival to offer a dinner and a movie experience. When you buy your pass you will also get special discounts at these restaurants on movie nights.

So, by purchasing a pass you support your community, view a variety of quality films and have the opportunity to save money on a din-ner out. If you give this pass as a gift you wrap all this goodness into the present that keeps on giving well into March.

Its time to put on your Santa hat and head down to the Tidemark Theatre box office to buy your seasons passes. Dont forget you can also purchase them online.

For further information, please contact the Tidemark Theatre at www.tidemarktheatre.com or CRFF at [email protected] .

School District 72 and BC Hydro are working together to provide unique educational opportunities for teachers and students during the five-year construction period of the John Hart Generating Station Replacement Project.

The partnership will allow BC Hydro to provide up to $5,000 per year to SD72 to have teachers and kids bus to the site, walk the vari-ous public trails and see the project

evolve. BC Hydro has been talking to

various SD72 staff about the John Hart project for almost two years to find the means or ways to engage students in this once-in-a-lifetime capital project opportunity, right in their backyard, says BC Hydro spokesperson, Stephen Watson. A working group evolved and this fall it came together on the education opportunities. To be involved with

this group and see the potential out-comes for SD72 is exciting, and Im really looking forward to the feed-back on how it works out.

BC Hydro provides fund-ing to school districts for Energy Managers, and these in-house managers undertake Power Smart initiatives to educate staff and obtain funding in the goal of reducing oper-ating electricity costs. The John Hart project was seen as a good opportun-

ity. SD72 is very appreciative BC

Hydro proactively came to the table to offer interactive learning and allow students to think and develop their own opinions about the John Hart project, says SD72 Superintendent, Tom Longridge. I am also proud of the SD72 staff that took the time to develop these educa-tional plans with BC Hydro. We have five years to develop the plan and so far were off to a good start.

This school year some of the schools involved, with grades ran-ging from Kindergarten to high school, will explore the importance of the Campbell River watershed from an economic, cultural, eco-logical and recreational perspective,

and investigate how hydroelectric power generation and use shapes a community.

This initiative is about students going to the site and seeing how it will change over the next five years, says SD72 Instructional Support Teacher, Drew Williams. Whats going to happen to plants and trees, wildlife and fish? What element of the project will they want to explore? When they flick on that switch at home they will better appreciate where the power comes from, and the understanding that there are impacts with power generating facilities. This is also a wonderful opportunity for students to see and learn about some interesting jobs and think about a career after high school.

Keep the traditions, but ditch the worn-out decor

(MS) The holiday countdown is on and its time to get your house razzle-dazzle ready. But before you do, make sure to check that your lights and decorations are still in good working order after a year in storage. Not only can old decor look worn out, but it also can put you and your family at risk -- which is the last thing anyone wants at this joyous time of year.

CSA Group, a leader in public safety testing and certi ca-tion, offers these tips to help you stay safe this holiday: Carefully inspect light strings each year. Discard any with

frayed cords, cracked lamp holders or loose connections. Inspect for storage damage from moisture or rodents. Turn off the electricity to the supply outlet before working with outdoor wiring. Unplug light strings before replacing bulbs and check to ensure replacement bulbs match the voltage and wattage of the original. To avoid a shock from damaged wires, use insulated fasteners rather than metal nails or tacks to hold light strings in place. Make decorating a family activity by planning this years theme with the kids, but dont let children or pets play with light strings. Keep electrical connectors for outdoor lights above ground, out of water and away from metal gutters. Connect outdoor lighting into receptacles protected by weatherproof

ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCI). These can provide protection from electric shock by sensing ground leakage and cutting electrical power. Use heavy duty extension cords for high wattage decora-tions and large electronically-animated displays, and dont overload extension cords.If you need to purchase new lights, look for a certi cation mark to ensure they are certi ed by an organization such as CSA Group.

And remember: outdoor holiday lights are made for seasonal use only; extended exposure to the elements can lead to damage. So when the holidays are over, take down the festive decorations and place them back in their original packaging for next year.

16 CAMPBELL RIVER COURIER-ISLANDER NEWS/REAL ESTATE/www.courierislander.com Wednesday, Dec. 18, 2013

The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre is warning the public to be on alert after noting a marked increase in the num-ber of complaints about phone scams in the last two months.

One of these, called the grand-

parent scam, has come to Campbell River, with the RCMP being contact-ed recently by two potential targets who received phone calls from people identifying themselves as grandchil-dren and asking for money.

Although there have been no reports of anyone in Campbell River falling for the scam, it recently cost a woman in Nanaimo $24,000 when the caller identified himself as her grandson and said he was in jail in a foreign country and needed funds to get out. The typical scenario, a grand-parent receives a phone call from a con-artist claiming to be one of his or her grandchildren. The caller goes on to say that they are in some kind of

trouble and need money immediately. Typically they claim being in a car accident, trouble returning from a for-eign country or they need bail money.

The caller will say Hi grandma/grandpa, do you know who this is?, the grandparent will say John? and the scammer says yes. The caller specifically asks that they do not want other relatives to know what has hap-pened because they are embarrassed. Wanting to help their grandchild, the victim sends money by a money transfer company such as Money Gram or Western Union.

Variations on the scam exist such as an old neighbour, a friend of the family, but predominantly the emer-

gency scam is directed toward the grandparents.

Nanaimo RCMP say in the past two weeks three seniors have reported incidents; one losing $24,000, one reported losing almost $7,000, and another lost $3,500.

However, they say there is a new twist to the fraud. Calls to the resi-dents are coming from Peru and its not the grandson calling, but his lawyer. The lawyer reports his client is in jail and has been charged with criminal negligence due to a car crash. The lawyer then asks the senior to pay bail fees, car replace-ment and lawyer fees. They provide a 10-digit code to a local wire transfer

kiosk.It is important that family mem-

bers share this information with their parents, grandparents and elderly neighbours.

John Caines, Canada Post spokes-man, said staff are made aware of scams so they can spot them, advise customers and hopefully prevent the customer from making bad choices.

Ultimately its up to customers to decide whether or not they want to proceed with the transaction or stop and investigate the situation.
