Quinsam Coal has permanently laid off 36 workers due to weaker demand and lower prices for ther-mal coal.

“It’s certainly a very difficult deci-sion and a very difficult time,” said Gary Gould, vice-president of Hill-sborough Resources.

Quinsam is the only underground coal mine in British Columbia and the only underground thermal-coal mine in Canada. The mine is located about 20 kilometres west of Campbell River, just off Highway 28, and has operated for more than two decades. Quinsam produces thermal

coal which is used to power the fur-naces at concrete and electrical-gen-erating plants. It sells most of its coal domestically and to Japan. But in the last two years, said Gould, demand has dropped off along with prices. As a result the 36 workers were laid-off Feb. 3, leaving the mine with 110 employees.

In spite of the setback, Gould said the company is closely monitoring markets and will be ready when demand and prices pick up. The company will also continue looking for more coal reserves.

“We will continue to focus on increasing our permitted reserves on the mine site. Those efforts will continue,” he said.

On the August long weekend of 1993, 14-year-old Lindsey Nicholls went for a walk along a Cumberland road and was never seen again.

Her mother Judy Peterson has never stopped searching for her daughter and Tuesday she sat in

MP John Duncan’s Ottawa office just before the federal government finally announced it would support “Lindsey’s Law.”

“I was absolutely delighted. I took a strong personal advocacy stance on this issue,” the veteran North Island MP said Wednesday.

Tuesday was budget day in Parlia-ment. Included in the promises was

$8.1 million to support a new DNA databank for missing persons and deceased victims.

Once deemed “too expensive” by the Conservative government, Dun-can lobbied cabinet ministers to sup-port the legislation which is due to come into a effect in 2016. The MP though is hopeful the DNA legisla-tion for missing persons could be

implemented by 2015.But the money is just a “drop in the

bucket” as the Conservatives contin-ued to reel-in spending as it moves towards a balanced budget begin-ning in 2015.

“It’s prudent fiscal management,” said Duncan during a phone inter-view.

For the North Island, there were a few items in the budget which should benefit the riding.

The first is the exten-sion of the Mineral Exploration Tax Credit. Last year, new aerial mapping of the North Island was conducted and the information released to the public.

The maps offer a huge amount of new data to prospectors who are expected to spend mil-lions scouting out min-eral deposits and poten-tial new mines.

“I considered that (tax credit) one of my babies,” said Duncan.

Another continued program is the Recre-ational Fisheries Con-servation Partnerships Program. Campbel l

River benefited from the first $10-million when funding was granted for new spawning beds in the river.

Now, the program has been bumped up to $25 million. Duncan said B.C. was granted about $2.5 million from the first fund and is hope-ful one-quarter will be designated from the new funding.

“This is a very good way to leverage resources because we’re partnering with volunteers,” he said.

The federal govern-ment will also offer a $450 tax credit to search and rescue volunteers. This was done, said Duncan, to match the tax credit which volun-teer firefighters receive.

“I think we’re recogniz-ing their contribution,” he said, but added that Ottawa won’t support much-needed equipment purchases because, “it’s a provincial responsibil-ity…there would be no end if we stepped in.”

The feds will also spend $305-mil l ion over the next five years to improve broadband internet service in rural and remote areas.

In this riding, Duncan

said areas include some remote West Coast com-munities and around Forbidden Plateau in the Comox Valley.

The Campbell River Chamber of Commerce also applauded the Con-servative’s thrifty budget.

“We’re pleased to see a prudent, fiscally-conser-vative budget that none-theless supports two key priorities of the cham-ber: skills development and infrastructure,” said Colleen Evans, chamber president and CEO, in a news release. “We would, however, urge the gov-ernment to continue to work hard to ensure the Canada Jobs Grant is palatable to businesses and the provinces, so that it achieves its goal of triggering new invest-ment in training.”

Residential taxpayers will likely see a slight tax increase from the Strathcona Regional District when they get their tax bill in June.

While the regional district’s board of directors has yet to final-ize its 2014 budget, preliminary figures have the tax rate at 0.0608 per $1,000 of a home’s assessed value, up from 0.0598 in 2013.

Directors at Wednesday’s board meeting added some additional items to the budget, including two new staff positions recom-mended by the regional district’s chief administrative officer.

The full-time positions are a special projects co-ordinator ($102,400 per year) and a board services co-ordinator ($83,200), designed to help bolster regional district staffing levels.

The funding for the two posi-tions is spread out throughout

several different departments’ budgets for 2014.

“The home for this position would be the general adminis-tration function but as work is performed, the functions that use the service will be charged as we go,” said Dawn Christenson, the regional district’s finance manager. “We looked at projects that individual may do and it is charged within those budgets but it would only be charged as the work was performed.”

Directors also approved a $350,000 refund from the capital works reserves for Area D parks.

Tom Yates, corporate services manager for the regional district, said the rebate would likely be credited against the requisition for those in Area D who contrib-ute to the area’s parks.

Brenda Leigh, director for Area D, thanked her fellow directors for approving a bylaw amend-ment to permit the rebate, but questioned why her constituents

are paying so much for fire ser-vices this year.

Russ Hotsenpiller, regional dis-trict chief administrative officer, said the $49,820 (paid by Camp-bell River and Area D) is the result of Campbell River council’s decision to purchase a new ladder truck for the Campbell River fire department.

Coun. and Director Claire Moglove said the pricey truck was necessary in order for the city to retain its fire rating. If the rating were to slide, fire insurance prices would go up in the city.

“The ladder truck is roughly $1 million and the lifespan is 20 years,” Moglove said. “If you don’t replace it, you lose your rating. The fact is our fire truck is in its nineteenth or twentieth year and it needs to be replaced so we don’t lose our rating.”

The board also approved a $6,444 increase for Area D tran-sit to come from the prior year surplus.

The Immigrant Wel-come Centre is con-cerned about the num-ber of new Canadians and immigrants it will no longer be able to help due to impending fund-ing changes.

Rachel Blaney, execu-tive director of the Immi-grant Welcome Centre, said, because the centre’s funding will no longer be coming from the prov-ince, but from the federal government instead, the rules are changing as of April 1.

“We won’t be able to serve naturalized citi-zens any longer,” Blaney told the regional district board at its Wednesday meeting.

That means those who were born outside of Canada but who are liv-ing in Campbell River and are now Canadian citizens will not be eli-gible to receive services from the Immigrant Wel-come Centre.

“It’s too bad because I see people in our com-munity who have done well, worked hard, have

families and we can’t assist them anymore,” Blaney said.

Blaney said that’s unfortunate because while they are past the obstacles of obtaining their Canadian citizen-ship many may still have trouble with the language barrier or even adjusting to Canadian culture.

Blaney said as an exam-ple, a man from England recently visited the cen-tre asking for help in finding a baby-sitter.

In England, people simply posted ads in the local bars.

She said often new citi-zens also need help with paperwork, health care forms, and retirement papers.

But under the new reg-ulations, that help may be harder to find.

And it’s not just natu-ralized citizens who are no longer eligible for assistance from the Immigrant Welcome Centre.

Refugee claimants and provincial nominees – those whom the province has nominated for citi-zenship but Citizenship and Immigration Canada

has not confirmed – will also be affected.

To put the impact of the changes into per-spective, Blaney said in the six months between April and September of last year, the Immigrant Welcome Centre served 149 clients who will no longer be eligible for ser-vices.

Blaney said a group of naturalized citizens has come together to support one another through the transition.

“This includes fund-raising, talking to local government (and) find-ing alternate supports for services,” Blaney said.

“I am amazed by the work.”

Blaney also encouraged the regional district to help immigrants where it can when it comes to language and cultural barriers.

The Immigrant Wel-come Centre last year served close to 1,000 people living on the North Island, from 60 different countries.

The organization was founded in 1992 to help immigrants integrate and settle into Canada.

Immigrant Welcome Centre may have to abandon former clients

Just as the bad news arr ived about near record-low water levels, along came a couple sou-easters.

This week’s precipi-tation is much needed for the Campbell River watershed, but the pro-longed dry weather is still cause for great con-cern at BC Hydro and for fish technicians at the Quinsam Hatchery.

“With extremely low inflows since October, it has been a challenge to maintain a minimum flow in the river to allow the adults to spawn and eggs to develop in the gravel,” said hatchery manager Dave Ewart in a news release from BC Hydro. “At this point, we are all waiting for rain and snow.”

As if on command, this week’s rain slightly boosted levels in the watershed and reser-voirs, and also increased the snowpack on moun-tains.

In fact, Mt. Washington Alpine Resort was finally able to re-open Thurs-day and was reporting a mid-mountain snow base of 120 centimetres on Wednesday morning. The ski resort, which typically boasts one of the deepest snowpacks,

had been closed due to a lack of snow.

Since Oct. 9, the water inflows into the John Hart reservoir in Camp-bell River is the second lowest (1978-1979 was lower) ever seen in 50 years since BC Hydro began record-keeping.

“Since October, we have only received about 47 per cent of normal water inflows into the reservoir from storm run-off and snowmelt,” said hydro spokesman Stephen Watson.

As a result, BC Hydro has been operating the John Hart generating station at half capacity for months to conserve water for downstream fish habitat. This oper-ating range will likely stay in place for several months.

The low output at all Vancouver Island hydro-electric facilities has meant more power com-ing from the mainland by undersea transmission cables to meet demand.

In spite of the low water flows, BC Hydro will begin releasing “spawn-ing pulse flows” from the John Hart Dam.

The goal is to release more water into the Elk Falls Canyon and Camp-bell River to allow for the migration of steelhead.

There will be five, two-day periods of increased

water flows beginning Feb. 18-19 and continu-ing until March 19. A public safety advisory is in place from John Hart Dam to Elk Falls dur-ing the migration flows, so stay away from the river at this location dur-ing the migration flows. Safety signs will also be in place.

Meanwhile, at the Quinsam Hatchery, staff are keeping a close watch on their stocks. Accord-ing to Ewart, most salmon fry will emerge in April.

“On the one hand, these low-flow and cold conditions provide opti-mum in-river incuba-tion survival, but on the other, there is real con-cern week to week on whether these flows can be maintained into the spring to allow for fry to emerge from the gravel and rear throughout the spring,” he said. “Staff are also concerned about the year to come and what the low snowpack and inflow conditions will mean for all stages of the salmon life cycle in the seasons to come.”

The current weather forecast shows rain for most days until late Feb-ruary.

Fast facts:

n The minimum fish habitat flow down Elk Falls Canyon is four metres per cubic second (m3/s). For the migra-tion pulse flows it will be increased to 10 m3/s. Out of consideration for

public safety, BC Hydro will increase the water discharge from the dam on Monday nights. The highest public safety risk is when water flows are increasing.n Due to low water

levels, on Dec. 23, BC Hydro opened up the Salmon River Diversion and began diverting up to a maximum of 5 m3/s into the Lower Campbell Reservoir. However, on some days no water has been diverted given low water conditions and by providing downstream river fish flows in the Salmon River.

n So far the concrete canal, that needs modest repairs, has been holding up and is being inspected regularly. Since Dec. 23, the total water diverted from the Salmon River is the equivalent of 0.3 of a metre in water storage in the Lower Campbell Res-ervoir/McIvor Lake.n BC Hydro is cur-

rently diverting only about one m3/s from the Quinsam River Diversion into the Lower Campbell Reservoir. Since Nov. 19, the total water diverted from the Quinsam River is the equivalent of 0.4 of a metre in water storage

in the Lower Campbell Reservoir/McIvor Lake.n The Upper Campbell

Reservoir/Buttle Lake had been hovering near the 216 metre level for much of December and early January, but it has declined to the current level of 214.50 metres. This is about 3.5 metres below normal for this time of year.n The Lower Campbell

Reservoir is currently at 177.55 metres, and is up about 2.5 metres from its low in December and January. It is about 0.3 metres below normal for this time of year. BC

Hydro is filling this reser-voir because of planned maintenance work and the subsequent lowering to normal levels once the work is complete.n The February snow

bul let in shows the snowpack to be 28 per cent of normal for this time of year. The Upper Wolf River snow gauge in the upper watershed has been trending near record lows all fall/winter and is currently at about 25 per cent of normal. The snowpack normally peaks in May so there’s still time for accumula-tion.

Willow Point BIA

The Supreme Court of Canada has refused to hear the appeal of an activist found liable for defamation by the BC Court of Appeal.

The order to pay dam-ages and stop publishing defamatory materials about Cermaq Canada will stand.

“We are glad to see today’s ruling, which vindicates Cermaq’s reputation as a producer

of nutritious salmon. We welcome public debate, but it should be based on facts, and critics should be held accountable for their public commen-tary,” Laurie Jensen, Cer-maq Canada’s Commu-nications and Corporate Sustainability Manager, said in a press release.

C e r m a q C a n a d a (which changed names from Mainstream Can-ada in November) origi-

nally took anti-salmon farming activist Don Staniford to court from Jan. 16 to Feb. 10, 2012. The legal action was in response to a campaign by Staniford against the company and its employ-ees.

“It affected our employ-ees, their families, our suppliers and our part-ners. The heart of our company is our employ-ees, and we need to stand

up for them and defend them against malicious and defamatory attacks, and against cyberbully-ing,” Jensen said.

In the original trial, the judge concluded that Mainstream was a responsible corporate citizen, pointing out that “They are conscious of the need to operate the business in a manner consistent with produc-ing a product that is safe

to consume and con-tributes to a healthy and nutritious diet.”

The trial judge found that the activist’s com-ments were defamatory and were motivated by express malice toward Mai ns t re am . Sh e described the language in his publications as “extreme, inflammatory, sensationalized, extrava-gant and violent,” but accepted his fair com-

ment defense. On July 22, 2013, The BC Court of Appeal overturned the trial judge and ruled that Staniford was not eligi-ble for protection under a fair comment defence because he failed to ade-quately provide facts to back up his claims. The appeal judgment also awarded Mainstream Canada special costs because of Staniford’s “reprehensible conduct”

during the litigation.“We are proud to pro-

duce top-quality, healthy fish for our customers, and we are glad this issue is finally concluded,” Jen-sen said.

Cermaq Canada farms Atlantic salmon in 27 sites on the west and east coasts of Vancou-ver Island, operates four land-based hatcher-ies and two processing plants.

As the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia heads into its second week, the narrative is sounding awfully

familiar.Remember all those horror stories

about costs run amok, facilities unfinished or not up to snuff, unseasonably mild weather, displaced and displeased citizens, stray dogs being dispatched?

Hmmm, rewind the clock four years, and we might be talking about Vancouver. Minus the stray dogs part.

Or eight years ago in Turin, Italy.

Winter or Summer, the script for every Olympic Games seems to be coming from the same writer.

It’s already being composed for Rio de Janeiro in 2016, where slums have been razed to make way for sporting facilities and workers have died building those venues.

But the crazy thing about the Olympics, and the trump card the International Olympic Committee carries in its back pocket, nuzzled up against the vast wealth it amasses by governing the Olympic movement, is as soon as the spotlights illuminate the ever-kitchy opening ceremonies, and the first competitors enter the starting gates, all the collateral drama is forgotten.

When it comes to the Olympics, we just can’t help

ourselves falling in love all over again. Especially when the memories of being a host city are still so fresh.

Maybe it’s the sheer volume of Olympic hype and coverage that overwhelms us every couple of years.

Maybe we’re just suckers for the human interest stories and athletic dramas that are played out on the ski slopes, ice rinks and running tracks.

Maybe we’re just looking for the chance to show our patriotism without feeling self-conscious.

Whatever fuels your Olympic spirit, enjoy the ride.The cynics will be back next time round.

– Black Press

The spell of the gamesOur ViewOur View

I remember when I wasn’t addicted to technology

We say: As soon as they open, the cynics are forgotten

I was born before the revolution of personal computers and hand-held electronic devices.

As a child I played with action figurines and used my imagination to create dramatic events for the characters.

I was educated with chalkboards and paperback books. If I needed to make a phone call for a person I didn’t know I had to find the num-ber in a bible-sized book and then use a rotary dial and wait for each number to click back to zero.

When I entered my teenage years I began exploring my writing tal-ents by penning poetry by hand. I read the books authored by most

of the classic literary giants (Dos-toyevsky, Camus, Kafka) which became my foundational under-standing of language.

The times I wasn’t reading or writing I was outside play-ing or camping or par-ticipating in a sport. One summer I spent nearly every hour of every day shooting a rubber ball at a lacrosse net.

And then everything changed.When the Internet arrived to

the masses in 1995 and personal computers became available I got hooked on both.

I spent hours parked in front of a screen, consumed with video

games and looking at poorly designed websites.

Although computers helped me continue the development of my writing, I found little time for any-

thing other than sitting in front of a computer screen.

Nearly 20 years later little has changed for me, even though the expansion of technol-ogy has exploded.

It’s so difficult for me to discon-nect from technology that I find my life moves from one screen to another.

I go from my personal computer at home, to my iPhone on the road,

to another computer at work. My eyes are nearly always staring

into that soft white light. It is the last thing I see before I

close my eyes to sleep, and the first thing I see when it awakes me in the morning with its alarm.

During the rare times when the Internet is down or I’m out with the family doing something, I can sense an inner anxiety and discom-fort.

I can feel the compulsion to get back to a screen where things are familiar.

In short, I don’t know how to properly disconnect from technol-ogy.

And when I do, I feel much like a junkie needing my fix. Being wired into the world wide web feels nor-mal now.

That little boy who shot lacrosse balls into a net is long gone.

Not that I’m complaining. Technology has given me many

fun virtual adventures and allows me to support a family.

I am, however, glad to have memories before it took over our lives and became the new religion for the masses.

Adrian MacNair is a reporter with the South Delta Leader, a Black Press newspaper.

Filed for publication with the MirrorDear Todd Stone Minster of Transportation, Well, it appears that the “meetings” with the public were

just for public relations, as obviously you had no intention of changing your mind on this issue.

Fourteen ferries on the mainland are free, yet we are “hosed” for taking the monopoly ferry. You say that these 14 ferries are a part of the transportation system. Aren’t ALL ferries part of the transportation system?

It seems that looking at reducing the onerous amount of managers is not going to change. The number of managers that the BC Ferry system has is over 650, which works out to 10 managers per route. How can you justify this? Is the “bonus” system going to change or are we as taxpayers pay-ing for that as well?

Disappointed isn’t the word I’d use on this issue, disgusted is more like it.

I’d like a response from you Mr. Minister as to how you came to the decision you did.

Adrian MacNairGuest Column

We will finally return to the legislature after the long weekend – the first time since our brief post-election session back in July. I often write about my anger at the manipu-lation of our democracy because of the lack of legis-lative sitting days so I will make the most of this limited spr ing s es-sion. And as the represen-tative for the North Island and member of the official opposition there are a lot of issues I am looking forward to take directly to the government.

One of them is the arrogant abuse of power that has epitomized the last 13 years of this gov-ernment. One of the top issues on our agenda will be the ruling from the Supreme Court on the war between the BC Liberals and the BC Teachers Federation. It is incredible that a govern-ment is chastised by a Supreme Court judge for deliberately engineering a dispute with a union so that government can make political gains. The judge ruled that’s what happened. And now the BC Liberals are going back to court to continue the fight. The current premier may try to dis-avow any involvement in this cynical and exploit-ative approach but at the time the dispute started

she was the education minister.

The arrogance in the government’s approach to essential services for our communities will also be on my list – spe-cifically the hike in hydro

rates and cuts in services and increases in fares for our coastal high-way system, our ferr ies . The reason we are seeing hydro bi l l s ro cket t h i s spring is, once again, because

of political interference in the public utility. This government decided to shift electricity produc-tion to the private sec-tor, those massive run of the river public-private partnerships. What that means in reality is Hydro is forced by contracts to buy that power at peak prices. With no market to sell it on, that means the costs of these politi-cal and ideological deci-sions are being down-loaded directly on indi-viduals and businesses.

We see the same sort of outrageous arrogance with BC Ferries with the Transportation Minister now saying he will ignore what he was told by the overwhelming majority at so-called consulta-tions in ferry dependent communities and go ahead with service cuts, imposing fares for the elderly and even put in gambling on ferries. The

suspicions of many that the consultations were a joke has now been con-firmed. The heart of the problem is the Coastal Ferries Act which estab-lished the ferry system we have lived with for the last dozen years. It was essentially the first step to privatizing our marine highway. And it is an unmitigated failure. What we are seeing now, with fares spiraling out of control and services being cut across the coast, is a direct result of that ideological decision in 2002. Communities all over the coast are reeling from the latest attacks on them. Port Hardy, for example, devastated because of the loss of tourism dollars and its economy will be further undermined because people living in Klemtu, Bella Bella and Shear-water no longer will be able to commute to use local services. No island community escapes this downward spiral: we are all ferry dependent.

As critic for transpor-tation I’ve been working with local and provincial groups that are forming to fight the cuts. The Port Hardy Chamber of Com-merce and the District of Port Hardy have been extremely vociferous. A group of Chambers of Commerce is trying to fill the gap left by the government by conduct-ing an economic analysis of the impact of those cuts. It is shocking that a government that claims

to be a good fiscal man-ager avoided doing the basic economic ground-work before making such major decisions. One suspects the BC Liberals knew that the outcome of an economic impact analysis would not sup-port their ideological determination to further degrade our ferry ser-vice.

Another group of activists is going to take the fight to the lawns of the Legislature and will be there on March 11th. There must be a strong turnout to show that people are united in their opposition to this blatant attack on coastal com-munities or will again be ignored by the BC Lib-eral government.

When we are back in session next week I can take the many questions I have over the reason behind these decisions directly to the Minister of Transportation who is ultimately responsible for all our highway sys-tem. I’ll also be working with others on just how we can fix the mess the Liberals have created.

I am also hoping that the Minister of Health will remove his ideo-logical blinkers and see reason in the continuing discussions about our new hospital. Planning for the building is still underway and yet we are hearing that there is no opportunity to increase the number of beds, despite the latest rev-elations that emergency

patients are now being transferred from Camp-bell River to Duncan and Nanaimo because of overcrowding. The Hospital Stakeholders Group which I convene is now examining vari-ous options which could be presented to Island Health for retaining parts of our existing hospital to provide much needed extra space.

Some issues sadly can-not be challenged on the floor of the Legisla-ture. The decision by the owners of New Horizons seniors’ home in Camp-bell River to bust the union there should be illegal. However since the BC Liberals took office in 2001 this has become commonplace in seniors homes, as profit has been allowed to displace human dignity.

I am also looking for-ward to meet with the Minister of Environment about ongoing negotia-tions for the extension to a park on Quadra Island and the continuing ques-tions we have about con-servation officers in the north end of Vancouver Island.

My last week out of ses-sion saw me in the Tri-Ports visiting schools, meeting business leaders and community groups, going to meet the hard working crew at Camp-bell River Search and Rescue, visiting the new Communitas support-ive care facility as well as heading to Vancou-ver for meetings on rail

safety related to my role as Transportation critic.

I hope everyone enjoys a restful long weekend. I will be splitting my time between Victoria, critic work and the con-stituency over the com-

ing weeks but intend to provide regular updates about what is happening.

CITY HOsTINg MOrE PUBlIC EvENTs FOr THE ZONINg BYlAw UPDATE

The Zoning Bylaw rewrite process is off to a great start after four successful Open House events in January. Public input is still needed to help identify the current issues across the City and more Public Open House events are being held. Everyone who lives within the City is encouraged to come out to the informal Open House events. The Zoning Bylaw can change the type of permitted uses on specific properties or set general regulations, all of which may influence property values and neighbourhood characteristics. Bring your concerns, issues and suggestions about what you think we need to know as we proceed in writing the FIRST DRAFT.

wednesday February 19, 2014 at theCampbell river Community Centre

from 1-3 pm and 7-9pm

wednesday, February 26, 2014 at theNorth Island College, rm C228

from 1-3 pm and 7-9pm

A second set of Open Houses will be held in April for the public to review the FIRST DRAFT. Project information and a copy of the current Zoning Bylaw 3250, 2006 is available for viewing on our website, www.campbellriver.ca, or paper copies are available for viewing in the Land Use Services Department at City Hall.

For questions, please contact Ross Blackwell at 250-203-1144

YOU AsKEDA recent letter to the editor expressed concerns about overnight lighting in Spirit Square.

The lighting is left on for pedestrian safety and to allow people in passing vehicles to see any activity in the square after dark.

Lighting the square has also successfully deterred vandalism, which helps keep costs low for vandalism maintenance at this site.

The City also has an ongoing program to install LED lights that minimize energy consumption.

If you have questions about City operations, please contact us!

Open for business!

Join the Campbell River Chamber of Com-merce for an inspiring Business Leader Lun-cheon as they host Ken Schley, Director of Oper-ations and co-founder of Quality Foods.

The luncheon will be held on Thursday, Feb. 20 in the Carriage Room of the Royal Coachman from 11:30 – 1 p.m. Tick-ets are available through the Chamber’s website at www.campbellriver-chamber.ca/events.

Attend the luncheon to learn how Vancouver Island’s owned and oper-ated Quality Foods has evolved over the last 30 years to become one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies. Schley will discuss how Quality Foods is securing and investing in their future with their new partner-ship with BC’s most successful entrepreneur, Jimmy Pattison.

Quality Foods, which

began with one store in Qualicum Beach in 1982, is an award-win-ning leader in the Cana-dian grocery industry, employing nearly 850 people in 11 grocery stores on Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast.

Over the last 30 years Qual ity Foods has earned many regional, provincial and national Awards of Merit as an active member of the Canadian Federation of Independent Grocers. This is a testament to the team and entrepreneurial spirit which has been so important to their suc-cess to date.

Innovation has also been a large factor in establishing Quality Foods as a strong inde-pendent. Having intro-duced the first preferred shopper program in the Canadian grocery indus-try in 1991, to offering Western Canada’s first full online shopping service in 1997, Quality Foods continues a tradi-tion of putting their cus-tomers first.

Under Schley’s direc-tion, Quality Foods proved that customer

service and community involvement are much more than subtle niceties; they are a core part of the company’s identity and success. Schley has been an active voice for inde-pendent grocers both regionally and nationally in such areas as the Bev-erage Container Stew-ardship Program. He is a past chair of the Cana-dian Federation of Inde-pendent Grocers and is a past recipient of some of the industry’s most pres-tigious awards including the Golden Pencil Award and the Phoenix Group’s Leadership Excellence Award. At age 51, Schley was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Qualicum Beach Chamber of Com-merce.

“Business leadership and entrepreneurship is a key driver of our local economy. Quality Foods is a fantastic local exam-ple of how innovation, customer service and community involvement can contribute not only to business success and longevity, but to creating a positive business envi-ronment and to making Campbell River a great

place to live, work and do business,” stated Colleen Evans, Chamber Presi-dent & CEO. “We are very excited to host such a high profile and inspir-ing speaker. We believe that businesses will take away valuable insights, regardless of their indus-try, after attending this luncheon.”

This i s luncheon event will be hosted by the Campbell River Chamber of Commerce and sponsored in part by Quality Foods and Andrew Leitch of Mackie Research Capital Corpo-ration.

The luncheon will be held on Thursday, Feb. 20 in the Carriage Room of the Royal Coachman from 12-1 p.m. Doors will open at 11:30 a.m. for networking.

Purchase your tickets online today at www.campbellriverchamber.ca/events. Tickets are $35 for Chamber members (plus GST) and $50 for Future Chamber mem-bers (plus GST). The price includes lunch, refreshments and des-sert.

Thirty-seven CR DanceXtreme dancers com-

peted against hundreds of other dancers at the Tremaine Dance Convention and Com-petition in Vancouver, Washington on the weekend, bringing home eight trophies as well as scholarships for four young dancers.

CR DanceXtreme owners and artistic directors Shawna Sloan and Buddy Mynatt started their dance careers in 1996 when they trained under internationally renowned Hollywood choreographer and teacher Joe Tremaine at his dance facility in Hollywood, California, so they were excited to bring their Showteam students to Tremaine’s Vancouver, Washington competition.

The weekend was a huge success. Dancer Ailsa Sirois won the EDGE Performing Arts Center Scholarship, to study dance in Hol-lywood this summer. Dancers Jesse Devlin, Claire Peachey and Tay-lor Ring won scholar-ships to attend another Tremaine Dance Con-vention for free. CR DanceXtreme competed in six numbers at the Vancouver, Washington event, winning first or second for each entry. They won the Top Overall Showmanship Award and first place for the junior division hip hop for Make Some Noise; first place in the senior jazz division for Bougie; first place in the senior division for open production, and Overall High Score for the entire

competition for Spirit of the Torch (out of more than 100 entries); sec-ond place in the senior division open produc-tion for Crazy in Love; second place for senior lyrical group for Youthe; and first place for senior tap line for Can’t Hold Us.

Mynatt and Sloan were delighted to see the dancers’ hard work pay off and are thrilled that the danc-ers will get a chance to perform at the ‘Sneak Peek Into Precision’ at the Tidemark Theatre tomorrow at 3:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. to show the community this year’s competition numbers. Featured dancers at the ‘Sneak Peek’ include the Showteam, as well as the Prep Team and the stu-dio’s Fresh Groove Hip Hop Team. The dancers are gearing up for more competitions in the near future, including the North Island Festival of the Arts, the Upper Island Festival and three competitions in the Lower Mainland.

All tickets for Sneak

Peek Into Precision tick-ets are $15 and are avail-able at the Tidemark Ticket Centre. For ticket

info call 250-287-7465 or check out www.tide-marktheatre.com.n In other CR

DanceXtreme news, two recent studio graduates have launched careers as professional dancers.

Krystel Cisnero is touring the Caribbean Islands as a dancer for Carnival Cruise Lines and Carley Cofield has been performing in vari-ous venues and in music videos in Toronto with everyone from Sean Desman to Samantha Savoia. Her most recent accomplishment was performing with pop icon Madonna when the superstar visited Toronto this week to open her new gym.

Looking for some (inappropriate) laughs? Shirley Gnome’s the answer.

Gnome is a self-styled musical comedian, performer, and storyteller. Singing her own brand of titillating, crass, and absurd music, Gnome belts out original tunes about the embarrassing, profound, and hilari-ous adventures that happen when bodies collide.

She won over audiences all over Vancouver to become Patrick Mali-ha’s The People Champ of Comedy Competition 2012 Grand Prize Win-ner, taking home $20,000. She con-

tinued this success with a critically-acclaimed show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland, the world’s largest arts celebration.

She’s appearing on Quadra Island at the Heriot Bay tonight. Show starts at 7 p.m., tickets are $19.

“If you fancy a wild evening of sexually fuelled country rock, then get yourself along to see Shirley Gnome,” states an Edinburgh Fringe review. She’s raunchy and she’s racy and she mixes it with quality musi-cianship; call the Inn to reserve seats, 285-3322.

Shirley Gnome throws political correctness out the window and is not afraid to turn the air a little blue with her humour.

Passing playCampbell River Oldtimers Hockey Club donated $500 to the West Coast Prostate Awareness Society (WCPAS). Club representatives Terry Rod-way (left) and Kal Kowbel (centre) presented the cheque to Bob Belter, president of WCPAS.

Members of the First Open Heart Society were thrilled to help out the Campbell River Hospital with a donation to purchase a cardiac machine. Pictured front row from left are: Ed Jarvis and Josephine Derks of the First Open Heart Society, Stacey Marsh (executive director of the Campbell River Hospital Foundation), Ken McRann (Heart Society), and in the back row, Mark Cryderman (cardiac technologist at Campbell River Hospital).

The Campbell River branch of the First Open Heart Society recently donated to the Campbell River Hos-pital Foundation in order to purchase an Ambulatory Blood Pressure monitor and two Holter monitors.

The Ambulatory Blood Pressure monitor measures blood pressure over 24 hours to provide a more com-plete picture of a patient’s blood pressure.

Patients wear a special blood pressure cuff that measures and records their blood pressure at regu-lar intervals. The records can provide a more reliable measurement than one-off readings.

A Holter monitor is a portable device for continu-ously monitoring various electrical activity of the car-diovascular system for at least 24 hours. The Holter monitor records electrical signals from the heart via a series of electrodes attached to the chest. These elec-trodes are connected to a small piece of equipment that is attached to the patient’s belt or hung around the neck, and is responsible for keeping a log of the heart’s electrical activity throughout the recording period.

Formed in 1973, the First Open Heart Society pro-vides patient support for those about to undergo heart surgery by those who have already ‘walked the path.’

The Campbell River branch holds one fundraiser each year – the Walk for Hearts, held the first Sunday in May. All donations from this event stay in our com-munity and are used for North Island heart patients, cardiac equipment for Campbell River Hospital and education for cardiac nurses and technicians.

In 2013, the Maritime Heritage Centre (MHC) was one of the many suc-cessful grant recipients from the Campbell River Community Foundation.

Their grant allowed them to purchase Past Perfect, new software for archiving artifacts, library materials, pho-tographs, newspaper clippings etc. into one

program and then into a easy to use catalogue.

The main benefit to the organization is how it will aid them in their interactions with their donors and the items they have placed in the MHC’s care. Does your non-profit organization have a project that needs a grant to make it hap-pen?

Applicat ion forms and criteria are avail-able on the web at www.crfoundation.ca. Grant submission deadline is March 15 and must be dropped off in person to: Seymour Pacific Devel-opment Ltd., 920 Alder Street, Campbell River, B.C. For more informa-tion, contact Craig Gillis ([email protected]).

Tele-support helps area dementia caregivers

If you can’t go to them, the Alzheimer Society of B.C. will bring support to you. The Society offers a free tele-support group for local caregivers of a family member with Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia who is living at home.

The sessions are

designed specifically for area residents who are unable to attend support groups in person due to location, disability or other reasons, says facilitator Jan Robson.

Meetings are conducted over the phone on the first and third Fridays of each month from 2 to 3 p.m. Each call includes up to eight family caregivers. Participants only need a standard telephone. They call a toll-free number at

the scheduled time and will be able to hear and speak with one another at all times during the meetings. Participation is open to family caregivers who live in B.C. or the Yukon who are unable to attend a support group in person. For more information call Robson at 604-742-4935 (toll-free 1-800-667-3742, extension 4935) or e-mail [email protected].

If you get that niggling feeling you’re being watched when you’re out in the bush, you may be right.

And it may be mem-bers of the Campbell River Fish and Wildlife Association who con-duct the local Wilderness Watch.

Wilderness Watch is a program sponsored by the British Colum-bia Wildlife Federa-tion (BCWF) through various local groups. Its

primary function is to observe and report any questionable activities in the wilderness including the bush, lakes, streams and rivers. Members of the Campbell River Fish and Wildlife Association have been involved with Wilderness Watch for many years but this year has been more active than usual.

Recently, part of the group, working with the Conservation Officers installed a new Wil-derness Watch sign on Highway 28.

Also, local coordina-tor Jaysson Greenfield acquired some funding through the city and is working with Timber-West to replace two of the large No Shooting boundary signs on their property.

Additionally, on Satur-day Feb. 15, 1-3 p.m., Jim

Helsdon, the provincial Wilderness Watch coor-dinator, will be conduct-ing a training session at the Campbell River Fish and Wildlife Clubhouse.

Anyone who might be interested in joining the Campbell River Fish and Wildlife Association and getting involved in Wil-derness Watch can con-tact Jaysson Greenfield at 250-287-8114 or Wade Major at 250-923-5326 for more information.

The Campbell River Fish and Wildlife Asso-ciation appreciate all of the local support that they have received over the years that make such programs possible.

The Campbell River Killer Whales swim team had a great meet at the recent AAA provincials championships.

The Killer Whales swimmers were part of the North Island Preda-tors. The Predators is an association that was formed between the local club and the Comox Val-ley Sharks, to create a bigger team atmosphere at bigger meets, as well as create more opportu-nities for relays for swim-mers from both clubs.

The best age 18 and under swimmers gath-ered in Kamloops to race for provincial supremacy and for new qualifying

standards to the upcom-ing national level swim meets.

The swimmers from Campbell River were as strong as ever winning 20 medals (five gold, seven silver and eight bronze), breaking 11 club records, one provincial meet record, and sweeping the 11 and 12 girls relays.

Jasmine Skuse had a breakout swim meet winning gold and silver medals in the 100- and 200-metre breaststroke events. With those swims she also achieved two of the needed three times to qualify for age group nationals this summer.

Skuse was also on both

relay teams that captured gold.

Melayna Beaudin also had a great meet swim-ming with a number of best times. Most impres-sive were her relay swims at the end of the night where she would pull double duty and race in two age groups to win medals for both.

Mackenzie Padington had her best AAA swim meet ever winning four medals (gold, silver and two bronze) and break-ing six club records.

Paddington’s biggest swim of the weekend was her first swim in the 800 freestyle. She took the lead from the very begin-

ning of the endurance race and, despite her cap falling off, won the event in a club record time.

Other standout swim-mers included:n Jamylia Wellard, two

medals in the breast-stroke at her first AAA’s.n Conner Skuse after

starting off the weekend a bit slow, turned the meet around to place fourth in the 400 IM in a time that puts him tied for third in the country for 14-year-olds.n Cailyn Collis had

one of the toughest back-to-back swims on Saturday. Collis swam her final swim in the 400 Freestyle only two hours

after her morning swim. In total, Cailyn moved up 21 spots on the day and took 14 seconds off her time.

The North Island Pred-ators girls team was sec-ond overall and and the team placed sixth overall; the highest the Predators have ever placed at the provincial meet.

Four swimmers from Campbell River will now head to New West-minster to compete at the Western Canadian Championships while the rest of the team gets ready for CRKW’s home meet, The Eliminator. It takes place this weekend at Strathcona Gardens.

Members of the North Island Predators swim team show off their medal haul from the AAA provincial swim champion-ships in Kamloops. The team includes members of the Campbell River Killer Whales. This weekend the Killer Whales host The Eliminator meet at Strathcona Gardens pool.

Swimmers shine in Kamloops

Midget Tyees to host playoff

The No 1 Auto Body Midget Tyees will host Peninsula on Saturday in the Island Tier 2 hockey semi-final.

Last Saturday in Powell River, Campbell River dumped the home town Kings 4-2 in the final game of the North Island playoff round-robin. The win gave the Tyees first place in in the North Island division.

The Tyees scored at 5:46 of the first period when Deion Thompson passed across to Keaton Dion for a tip-in. Other goal scorers included Braden McCartney with a pair and Tyson Goebel.

Peninsula finished second in the South and will face the Tyees on Saturday at the Rod Brind’Amour Arena. Game time is 4:30 p.m.

ALL ABOUT BOWLINGIt’s often heard that bowling “costs too much” and it seems only fair to compare apples to apples. In terms of value for money, bowling compares very favourably with any other leisure/sporting activity available in Campbell River. This is particularly so when customers make use of the monthly coupon and recently introduced weekly daytime specials. With game prices as low as $2.00 it is hard to think of anything else that you can do for that price. So check-out the specials elsewhere in the in Mirror or give the Centre a call on 250 286 1177 for more details.

CANADA’S RENO REBATE INC. continues to spread the word about government rebates for new-home purchases, owner-

built homes and substantial renovations to existing homes during the tenure of the HST throughout the province. Happy clients are receiving up to $42,500, which is the upper limit a homeowner can receive for a project. Together with the Ontario-based company Rebate4U, Canada’s Reno Rebate Inc. has already helped homeowners apply for rebates totaling over $8 million.

“There is a misconception that if your home is worth more than $450,000, you are not entitled to any government rebates, but this is just not true — you are entitled to a portion of the PST embedded within the HST,” says Sean Leitenberg, manager of the Victoria office of Canada’s Reno Rebate Inc.

“‘Do I qualify?’ has to be the most frequently-asked question my staff get,” says Sean. “Each renovation or new build is not exactly the same, so we have to determine that the best we can on a case-by-case basis.”

There are definitely some clear-cut rules, though. There is a deadline of two years to apply from the time you completed your major renovation or new build, though there are a couple of exceptions to that rule, too.

To qualify for a major renovation, you must do substantial work to the majority of the inside of your home. If your work was limited to a small portion of your home, such as a bathroom or kitchen, or if you just painted and put down new floors, you would not qualify. The end result of your renovation should be substantial enough that your home or condo is like a new home.

The money spent on the exterior qualifies for the rebate, but only if you have done enough work to the inside of the home first to qualify. A new roof or landscaping is not enough on its own, but would be included in the rebate if the inside of the home qualifies.

If you purchased a new home from a builder, the builder may have claimed the rebate and credited it back to you by lowering the price. In this case, the rebate has already been claimed.

If your home is worth more than $450,000, you are not entitled to a federal rebate, but you may be entitled to a provincial rebate if a portion of the construction took place while the HST was in effect. If your home is worth less than $450,000, you are entitled to both a

federal rebate and a provincial rebate for the portion spent during the HST period.

A new home built or renovated for yourself or for a family member’s primary place of residence qualifies if it was completed within the last two years. If the home’s value is more than $450,000, then the homeowner is only entitled to a rebate for money spent between July 1, 2010 and March 31, 2013.

Canada’s Reno Rebate Inc. currently has representatives throughout the province who are happy to help clients with the forms that need to be signed and the brief questionnaire that needs to be filled out. If you live in an area where the company does not have a representative, or if you would prefer to download the forms from the comfort of your home, you can find everything on their website and use their courier service at no charge. The time involved is minimal and your rebate could be huge.

Canada’s Reno Rebate Inc. also has a brief questionnaire on their website that allows you to see if you qualify for the rebate and only takes 60 seconds. Or, give them a call and in just a few minutes, they can determine if you qualify.

Everyone seems to know someone who has built a home or done a renovation, so if you know homeowners who might qualify for this rebate, make sure to let them know before they miss their deadline.

Canada’s Reno Rebate Inc. handles all the paperwork and follows through with the government until you receive your cheque. Because Sean and his staff know the forms, the processes, and who to call, they efficiently and quickly collect the information and submit exactly what the government agencies need. The company charges no upfront fee and if you don’t receive a rebate, the application costs you nothing. “So give us a call or check out our website,” Sean says. “What have you got to lose?”

After a disappoint-ing home ice loss to the Alberni Valley Bulldogs the previous week, the Mainstream Biological Consulting Peewee B Tyees squeezed out a 7-6 win while visiting the Tri-Port Eagles in Port McNeill last Saturday.

The Tyees found them-selves up 6-2 after two periods on goals by Riory

Young, Cole Devlin, Dakota Sinclair, Jordan Baker, Nathan Lagos and Ridge Rosa. The Tyees also benefited from the tight goaltending of Jayce Hudak.

Perhaps over-confi-dence got the best of the Tyees going into the third as three unchecked Eagles’ forwards found the back of the Tyees net

in less than three min-utes to close the gap and make it 6-5.

Young gave the Tyees another two-goal lead and then Hudak held on in net for the victory.

With the crucial win, the Tyees continue their playoff run with another road trip on Saturday to play the Island Tier 3 semi-final in Sooke.

Campbell River United U13 boys soccer club visited Ladysmith Feb. 2, looking to make it three wins in a row to start the new year, but settled for a 2-2 draw.

The Mid Island High-lands dominated the opening half and led 2-0.

A nice piece of goal-keeping from United’s Cam Younger kept Mid

Island from going up by three as he was able safely knock away a well-struck ball from about 20 yards out.

With eight minutes remaining, United striker Joe Dirom eluded two defenders and scored on a partial breakaway.

Then, with less than two minutes to play, Cor-son Arbour would find a

bouncing ball and volley home a high rocket shot from 25 yards out to tie the game 2-2.

It was a character comeback for United that probably felt like a victory of sorts. The two teams are scheduled to square off again this Sun-day in Campbell River. Game time is 2 p.m. at Willow Point Park.

Every February anti-bullying days pop up

around schools across Canada.

With pink shirt day and fun fairs, there’s many events urging everyone to be proac-tive in the anti-bullying scene. Pink Shirt Day started in Nova scotia in 2007, when a young boy was being bullied for wearing a pink shirt. His classmates decided to stand up, buying 50 pink colored t-shirts to wear in defiance of the bully. Now, seven years later, it’s a tradition in all schools to participate in wearing pink.

This year at Phoenix Middle school on Feb. 26, Phoenix Leader-

ship along with Carihi Interact are sponsor-ing an anti-bullying fun fair. There will be games, face painting, food put on by Phoenix Fitness and Recre-ation class as well as 10 Bounce-a-Rama rides and games generously donated by the good folks at Bounce-a-Rama. Rides include the surf machine, wrecking ball, balloon typhoon, velcro wall, bungee run, sports world, basket-ball and the bouncer slide. RCMP Const. Bouwman will be on hand to distribute information regarding anti-bullying. Campbell River Storm players will be on hand if their play-off schedule does not interfere - Go Storm!

Not only this, but Car-ihi Interact and Phoenix

Leadership have taken the goodness up a notch by donating all funds to one of their joint initiatives this year, Edu-cation is Power, a local non-profit organiza-tion. The organization sponsors school fees for students in Kenya. With zero administrative fees, donating to Education is Power, you know exactly where the money is going.

The fair will be held at 5-8 p.m. in the Phoenix Middle School gym. Games and rides will be a Loonie or a Toonie. Cotton candy, tattoos and photo buttons will be available as well.

Everyone is urged to wear as much pink as possible to raise aware-ness of the effects of bullying in the school system.

Students at Carihi have the opportunity to get out of the classroom and gain skills through the Nautical Sciences program.

Teacher Sylvain Chabot heads the program. He says all the stu-dents are motivated. The appli-cation process required them to put together a resume and cover letter as well as go to an interview. Now that the program is under-way, incentive comes in the form of sailing. If students don’t fix a dinghy they won’t have a boat to sail in.

The program is based out of the workshop at the Robron Center. For the first part of the semester they focus on fixing sailboats that have been donated and learning complementary skills such as scuba diving, snorkeling, cook-ing, woodwork, business and financial management. They will get certificates showing they have earned these skills, as well as a First Aid certificate and a plea-sure craft operator license.

“We are learning skills so that when we go sailing we can be out for many days and be self suf-ficient,” said Colton Masales, a participant in the course.

Later, they will sell the boats that they don’t need, raising funds to put back into the program.

Come spring, students will begin to sail dinghies in the pas-sage between Campbell River and Quadra Island. Once they have learnt the ropes they will take out

larger vessels, building up to a five-day trip.

Despite the large amount of fieldwork, students are also keeping up with academics, tak-ing at least one course through e-blend, a program based out of the Robron Centre. It offers courses comprised of online and text resources, and support from Robron staff. Participants in Nau-tical Sciences can take the courses at Robron or at home.

The drama sect at Carihi has almost always given a massive musical production every year, and for this show, the performance is Bonnie and Clyde.

From the depths of this production come two formidable students – Hudsen LeRoy and Randi Rae Lang – who have committed to por-traying the leads in the production.

“I was collectively looking for musicals,” says LeRoy, “when I stumbled upon Bonnie and Clyde and thought

it looked like a good play.”

LeRoy had been help-ing the director of many previous Carihi Musi-cals, Christine Knight, search for possibilities for the next play, when he happened upon this one and together, they decided that it was the best option. LeRoy was then given one of the lead roles as Clyde and he proceeded to practice as much as possible.

As well, Clyde needed a partner in crime, and after a bit of thought, Knight decided that the best person for the role was Randi Rae Lang. At first, Lang was appre-

hensive about taking the lead, “I’ve never been the star of a show before, and I fear I might do something like fall on my face.”

But she has spent a lot of previous time performing other plays, committing a part of herself to drama, and ultimately became excited for the debut of the show in late May.

The two will perform as well as graduate together. Together, the two performers are excited for the show to begin, because nothing beats the cheer of the crowd and the thrill of being on stage.

Partners in Crime: Bonnie and Clyde

drivewayBC.ca | Welcome to the driver’s seat

Roguish luxury at an economy priceMont Tremblant, Quebec – The 2014 Nissan Rogue is the newest entry to the fastest growing segment in Ca-nadian auto market – the compact SUV. The sales leaders are the Ford Escape, Honda CR-V, Toyota RV4 and many, many others. There is no mistaking why these products have become so popular. They offer room for a family of four, with a high seating position that drivers and passengers like, plus plenty of room for cargo and a price that’s not too outlandish. The fact that these station wagon-re-placements have become so popular is also the dramatic improvement in fuel economy these companies have been able to achieve. No longer does a family have to give up huge dollars on fuel to drive a small SUV. And what makes this new Nissan Rogue so interesting is the level of refinement and capability for up to seven passengers over three rows of seats.To test this new entry, Nissan held its launch event in and around Mont Tremblant, Que., getting a real taste of sub-zero, winter, Canadian driving.

Looks Last year, Nissan intro-duced the bigger mid-sized Pathfinder SUV and this smaller Rogue shares many styling cues from its bigger brother. This, in my opinion, is a good idea. It has a sense of purpose, sophis-tication and commonality that helps define Nissan’s brand. Nissan wants to portray “everyday premium” with this new Rogue, including such nice touches as LED daytime running lights, wheel arch extensions, integrated mirror turn

signals, plus available power lift gate and an optional panoramic moon roof. The dimensions of this new Rogue are a bit of an optical allusion, as it looks much bigger than the outgoing model but, in fact, is 25mm shorter. Yes, the width and height have increased but this small SUV looks longer because the wheelbase has been stretched to make rom for an optional third row of seats.

InsideNissan has done a good job of delivering a pleasant looking dash with the fea-tures people really want. Just because this isn’t a mid-sized SUV, doesn’t mean

that Canadians don’t want the finer things. The middle SV trim will be the most popular due to 17-inch alloy wheels, fog lights, heated seats, power driver’s seat and a huge panoramic moon roof for $26,748 in FWD and $2,000 more in AWD. To get the three-row version the SV needs to be equipped with the $2,050 Family Tech Package which might be worth the stretch because it really does amp up the goodies. They include the third row of seats that makes this a 7-passenger SUV. Grant-ed, the third row is tight

but perfect for those occasional times when extra family members are in town. In addition, this package includes navigation, a 7-inch touch screen moni-tor, power lift gate, blind-spot detection system, and lane departure warning system. These really are premium features found only in luxury SUVs just a few short years ago. Unfortunately, the top SL trim is only available in a two-row 5-seat configuration because

it was felt the price would be too high for compact SUV buyers.

DriveAs hard as it might be to believe, this new, larger and slightly heavier (49kg) Rogue is actually more fuel-efficient than the last model. They were able to improve the economy by 18 per cent through the introduction of a new con-tinuously variable transmission (CVT), aerodynamic tricks, and letting the carried-over engine breathe a bit better. Still rated at 170hp, the 2.5L 4-cylinder engine does a good job in city driving, thanks to the gearing of the new CVT but can seam a bit underpowered for higher, passing manouevre on the highway. Overall, the person filling the new Rogue up with fuel will welcome this balance of efficiency and everyday drivability. As part of the winter driving experience, I drove on an ice course in Macaglisse, Que., to highlight the vehicle’s stability system and the Active Trace Control fea-ture. On the first run, through the twisty, sheer ice roads the entire system was shut off. As I crested a hill, then made a hard right turn, the Rogue slid all

the way out to the edges of the corner, almost hitting the opposing snow bank. On the second run, with the advanced systems on, the same road was almost uneventful. The stability and traction control kept the wheels from spinning but the Trace Control System provides just a slight amount of brake force to the inside wheels to help the Rogue navigate the sheet ice with confidence.

VerdictThe objective with this new Rogue was to be noticed and provide a level of refinement and creature comforts that the competition isn’t providing. The pricing is fantastic, especially the middle SV models. The larger interior dimensions will always be welcome, as buyers like to get more for their money, but it is still small and efficient enough for city buyers.

Safety Tip:Distracted driving is the third leading cause of car crash fatalities in our province, which is why police are out in full force this month as part of a province-wide distracted driving campaign. According to one recent study, texting while

driving makes you 23 times more likely to be in a crash.

Shakespeare famously asked, “What’s in a name?”

Frankly, in the automotive world, a hell of a lot. It’s difficult to imagine a Corvette called anything else. Yet, it’s not on my list of cool names because prior to its application to America’s sports car, a corvette was a not-quite-a-destroyer type of small anti-submarine boat. The name only became cool after the Corvette became a success (which didn’t exactly happen overnight). These six car names are just cool.

1. Mercury Marauder: The name conjures up bands of roving barbarians. In addition to providing basic transportation, who wouldn’t want a car that’s also proficient at looting and pillaging?

2. Ferrari 500 Superfast: Even in the early 1960s, using this name took cojones —something that Enzo Ferrari never lacked. It’s almost over-the-top comical, not unlike Wile

‘‘As venomous snakes go, Cobras are wicked cool.’’Rob Sass

E. Coyote’s business card, which listed his occupation as “Super Genius.” One can only imagine the response of today’s product liability lawyers to this one.

3. Ford Mustang: While the association with the car doesn’t hurt, the name Mustang was cool long before the car debuted in April 1964. Whether it’s the war-winning fighter plane the P-51 Mustang or the wild horse (the car was actually named for the former), it’s just plain cool.

4. Shelby Cobra: As venomous snakes go, Cobras are wicked cool. The whole hood thing, their exotic origins and their highly concentrated venom make your ordinary rattlers and water moccasins seem, well, ordinary. It makes for one of the all-time great hood badges, too.

5. Plymouth Barracuda: As fish go, after the shark, the barracuda is arguably the most badass. Beautifully streamlined, highly aggressive and possessing a mouthful of piranha-like teeth, it’s possibly one of the most evocative names for a performance car ever. And while Mopar fans worship the way later cars were simply called the ’Cuda, we remain fans of the full name.

6. Aston Martin Vanquish: Vanquish is generally defined as follows: To utterly defeat; soundly thrash or beat; to overpower, subjugate or subdue. Enough said.

There have been very few times that I have gone four wheeling and not run into a situation where a winch is required.A winch can be an important tool in safely plucking a vehicle from an impossible situation, or righting a truck after a rollover. It can also be used to clear properties of logs or rocks. If you travel the back-roads of British Columbia, you should never be without a winch.There are a few things to know before you operate your winch for the first time. What appears to be a simple operation can quickly turn dangerous if basic safe winching practices are not used. Most are equipped with

a varying length of wire rope and the length of the rope is determined by the winch’s load capacity. The wire rope should be inspected regularly

to ensure that it has not become crushed, pinched, frayed, or kinked at any point. Should the rope be damaged, it should be replaced before use to avoid injury. All winch owners should have a winch accessory kit to recover a vehicle properly and safely. The average kit includes a three-metre chocker chain, a clevis, snatch block, five-centimetre tree trunk protector, gloves, and a carrying case. Prices are generally between $250 and $375 depending upon the manufacturer. Most winches are offered with a winch hook strap to ensure that operators do not put hands and fingers in harm’s way. Always wear gloves

when operating a winch or handling wire rope. A single line pull is one of the most basic winching operations. It involves rigging the wire rope to a stable anchoring point and spooling it in to pull the vehicle toward the anchor point. This type of pull can also be used to extract a truck without a winch; the winch equipped truck becomes the anchor point and the stuck vehicle is pulled toward it. It is a good idea to throw a jacket or blanket over the wire rope midway between the winch and the anchor point. This will prevent the cable from whipping back to the truck in the event of breakage. A tree can serve as an excellent

anchor point, but never attempt to wrap a wire rope or chain around it. In addition to being extremely dangerous, this improper winching practice can damage or kill the tree. Use a tree saver strap, along with a clevis.When a truck is seriously stuck, more winching power can be achieved through a double line pull. To do so, un-spool a length of a line from the drum and thread it through a snatch block. The cable’s hook can then be fastened to an anchor point on the trucks frame or tow hook, and the snatch block will secure to an anchor point toward the direction of the pull. This method decreases the number of layers of wire

rope on the drum and greatly increases pulling power. A snatch block can also be used to change the direction of the pull, without the wire rope collecting on one side of the drum. If you have followed the basic principle of four-wheeling and brought a buddy or a second vehicle, then chances are you will have some assistance in the recovery. Sometimes all a stuck vehicle

needs is a little motivation. In those instances, a quality recovery strap ($53) will work fine. Knowing how to operate a winch correctly is as important as knowing how to drive the 4x4 it is mounted to. Misuse can result in injury or even death, so it is a good idea to familiarize yourself with your winch before reaching a situation where you need to use [email protected]
