The Trail Of Layoffs: Getting laid off has a ripple effect, hurting others in the community. Dr. Belinda Badorek is from Clearwater Family Eyecare. She says when her patients hit tough times, medical expenses are one of the first to go. “Unfortunately that becomes a necessity when you’re looking at putting food on the table and a roof over your head,” Dr. Belinda Badorek said. Dr. Badorek has to cut costs because her patients are, in order to stay afloat. However, she has spared her staff. “I myself have taken on more responsibilities, so besides being the doctor I'm the payroll clerk and the janitorial service and the window washer and the Xerox repair person,” Dr. Badorek said. That means book keepers, window washers, and repair workers are getting axed and losing business.
Letters, May 19: Our Polish allies, How to clean a window: If the forecasters are correct, water will be rationed this hot summer. How odd, then, that roads are regularly flooded because window cleaners now use the "ladder-less water-fed pole system" encouraged by health and safety rules. I would suggest there are far more accidents with ladders in the home than with professional climbers.
Companys don't want to hire illegal window cleaners: Here is a brief recap of the events of that meeting which I did not attend but someone who was there was kind enough to share their notes. The WECRD wanted to hire a window washer (it has been discussed at several meetings). At one of the last 4 meetings the matter was voted on and accepted/passed. Well, it would appear that the window washer that was decided on wanted to be paid "under the table" and was not bonded or insured (which was a requirement of the contract). After some talking by the board and their attorney it was decided that perhaps working with someone "under the table" was maybe not the best idea. So, the accepted/passed motion to do business with this company from a prior meeting is now reversed. So, if you have a company that does windows...maybe contact the WECRD office.
Like a lot of people who live in Campbell River, Daniel Andrews came here never intending to stay. He and his wife arrived 15 years ago for a visit, and ended up putting down roots and raising a family. Andrews says he liked the landscape, loved the fishing. He worked as a guide for a while, then started a window washing business. I catch him on the job, soaping and scraping clean the large panes along Campbell River's waterfront. I ask him about the Bute Inlet project, a major hydro development planned for the northern sunshine coast -- about 60 kilometres from Campbell River's shores. Private power has got the rest of the province talking. Is it a hot issue here? "Certainly, with the election, yes," he says. "But I'd say it's like anything else. People are pretty well split on it." A Jehovah's Witness, Andrews says he doesn't care for the politics around it. He's sure there is misinformation coming from both opponents and proponents of the project, but isn't sure what to believe. There is surprisingly little research out there on how run-of-river projects -- particularly large scale, multi-stage developments like the green power corridor -- will affect watersheds, the lifeblood of the province. As a result, say experts, we're in the middle of a dangerous experiment.

5.88Webhosting.com Launches Web Hosting Services: There are many hosting companies around, but in an online interview with Steve Wright, the President and Co-founder of 5.88 Webhosting , he reveals what makes his hosting company different. According to Mr. Wright, the focus of 5.88 Web hosting is to provide a reliable, trustworthy, and low cost web hosting services to small service businesses so that they can get their websites online for a minimal cost. “Hosting shouldn’t be expensive” he says. “So any service business, from the startup to the established company, can afford our webhosting plan” The vast majority of hosting plans available from other hosting companies have lots of different options for a wide range of customers. “Our preference” Steve exclaims, “is to work with small to medium size service business such as window cleaning businesses, janitorial services, carpet cleaners, landscapers, etc”Steve goes on to mention that “as a former service business owner, I know exactly what service businesses need in a hosting package, so I put together a simple, uncomplicated, yet very effective hosting plan that will do what it’s intended to do with none of the drawbacks” During our recent interview, he also talked about how some service businesses aren’t even online yet with a website. “Big mistake”, according to Steve. “In this day and age, prospects are looking online more and more for what they need” So it’s important to gain an online presence and be found in the search engines. Finishing up our interview, Mr. Wright says that “a webhosting company needs to be considered your partner in business. It’s no good to have a website only to have it be down or offline regularly due to a poor quality hosting company” This interviewer couldn’t agree more.
MAGISTRATES allowed tagged Sunday league footballer Andrew Bird to stay out until midnight so he could pick up his player of the year award. Mr Bird was sentenced to a 12-week curfew order – which means he cannot go out from 9pm to 7am – after hitting a police officer. But the 26-year-old centre-half, who scored nine goals this season, has been named most improved player, players' player of the year and won most man of the match nominations for the Hollybush pub in Bentilee. He feared he would miss Saturday night's awards evening because of his tag. So he appealed to magistrates, supported by a letter from his team-mates, to be allowed to stay out until midnight for one night only.Magistrates relented after reading a heartfelt letter from fellow players who said the night would not be the same without their "player of the year". Mr Bird, of St Patrick's Drive, Newcastle, said: "When I first got the order on April 14 I was worried I wouldn't be able to go and the lads kept asking whether I'd be there because they wanted the whole team together. Mr Bird found himself in court after he was arrested on a night out in Newcastle four weeks ago. He had a run-in with police officers after an argument over some dropped chips. In the melee that followed he was arrested for hitting one of the officers. Team manager Mark Turner said it would have put a damper on the whole evening if Mr Bird, who works as a window cleaner, was missing.
