Campbell River fire crews responded to a report of a roof fire involving a two-storey home in the 3900 block of South Island High-way at 12:31 a.m. on Thursday.

“When crews arrived they found the entire roof of the home involved with fire,” says deputy fire chief

Chris Vrabel. “With the roof burn-ing, for safety reasons, crews fought the fire from the outside. Fire fight-ers were able to limit damage to the roof line and upper floor, while the lower floor and its contents were saved.”

No injuries were reported, but

four occupants were displaced and are receiving shelter through the local Emergency Social Services agency. Fire fighters from both fire stations were required to respond to the call.

The cause of the fire is currently under investigation.

City council is cracking down on tagging and making it a priority to rid the community of graffiti.

Council, at its Feb. 23 meeting, voted to send a letter to Crown counsel indicating that the issue of graffiti and tagging is a high prior-ity of council’s. Attached to the let-ter will be a city staff report detailing the negative effect of tagging on the community. The motion was put forward by Coun. Ron Kerr who has taken part in graffiti clean-ups, par-ticularly around Campbellton, over the last year.

“We’ve seen a high level of tagging recently in our community and this is a criminal behaviour and vandal-ism that has a cost to the community both financially and emotionally,” Kerr said. “Prosecution is a deter-rent, so this initiative would support the police files as they come before the judge.”

Kerr’s timing with his motion was impeccable as earlier on in the eve-ning Crime Stoppers co-ordinator Pat Patterson told council that it needs to lead the way in graffiti pre-vention.

“Someone needs to take control of removing the problems with graffiti by identifying the taggers but also by quick removal. The idea and appli-cation of removing graffiti as soon as it appears, in my view, has got to be city-led,” Patterson said during a presentation to council. “You can-not drive down any street right now

without seeing tagging and graffiti in the community.”

To help rectify the problem, coun-cil approved spending $55,000 in 2015 on a graffiti clean-up program targeting roadway infrastructure such as light poles, road signs, and benches.

City Clerk Peter Wipper said the program will put the city in compli-ance with its own public nuisance bylaw, which council updated last year with a policy that requires property owners – including the city – to remove any graffiti within five business days of when it appears.

Ron Neufeld, the city’s operations manager, said part of the fund-ing will also go towards a proac-tive approach of painting some city property with a graffiti-resistant coating.

Kerr said it’s a program that the city needs to embrace if it wants to be successful in reducing the amount of tags around the commu-nity.

“I think Campbell River needs to lead the way on this issue because an awful lot of the graffiti out there is on public property and we’re expect-ing land owners and property own-ers to bear the brunt of the clean-up and we’re not doing it ourselves,” Kerr said. “I certainly think it is a priority and I think we do need to lead the way.”

Coun. Colleen Evans agreed.“This is an important issue for our

community,” Evans said. “I certainly believe we need to address our graf-fiti issue.”

Hearts for the SPCAStephanie Arkwright (left), branch manager of the Campbell River SPCA, and Gregory Janicki, co-owner of Dogwood Pet Mart, celebrate the success of this year’s Loonies for Love fundraiser for the SPCA. Dogwood Pet Mart alone raised $840 while $460 was raised between the SPCA branch, Campbell River Veterinary Hospital, Merecroft Vet-erinary Clinic and Campbell River Groomers for a grand total of $1,300 which Arkwright says makes this the most successful year. In com-parison, last year raised $900. RH Printing supplied all the hearts and posters for this year’s event.

According to local election expense reports, it pays off to be a big spender.

The top spenders in the 2014 municipal election were all elected to Campbell River city council.

Andy Adams more than doubled the amount of money spent by his challengers for the may-or’s chair with expenses of $17,329.

Of that, $8,965 came from individual donors whi le $8,227 came from corporations such as Seymour Pacif ic ($1,000), Berwick ($500) and Upland Construc-tion ($500).

The runner-up, Walter Jakeway, spent far less at $5,096. All of Jakeway’s expenses were funded by individual donors only.

Mayoral candidate Steve Wood, who fin-ished third at the polls, spent $2,455, collecting $1,040 in donations from individual donors and

$750 from trade unions.Of the candidates

who were elected to city council, Colleen Evans spent the most at $10,296, followed by Larry Samson at $8,737 and Michele Babchuk with expenses of $6,585. Council lors Charlie Cornfield ($5,043), Ron Kerr ($3,722) and Mar-lene Wright ($3,071) spent the least among the successful candidates.

Among those who

ran for council but were not elected, Jim Parnell spent the most at $4,874 followed by incumbent Claire Moglove who spent $4,182 and former councillor Ziggy Stewart at $4,158.

Other contenders who weren’t elected spent the following: Les Lengyel ($3,703), Marcia McKay ($2,389), Bob Bray ($1,824), and David Christian ($1,613).

Those who spent the

least were Darryn Striga at $554, Todd Jones at $980 and finally, Peter Klobucar who spent just $20. Striga, Jones and Klobucar also collected the fewest votes on elec-tion day with 1,533, 657 and 366 respectively.

Strathcona Regional District:

In Area D, it was a dif-ferent story.

The biggest spender was not the director elected.

C ha l l e nge r Te r r y Honig spent $8,180 on the election with $4,180 coming from individ-ual donors and $3,650 donated by corporations.

Incumbent and elected director Brenda Leigh spent $3,587 with $2,233 coming from individual donors. Leigh accepted $0 from corporations.

Similarly, in Area B (Cortes Island), elected director and incumbent Noba Anderson spent $1,359 while challenger Delia Becker spent more at $1,518 and Bruce Brown had total election expenses of $760.

Adams’ election expenses would appear to be money well spent

SD72 mulls major funding cutsJ.R. RARDON

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Thanks to a new round of funding cuts man-dated by the Ministry of Education in the 2015 provincial budget, the Campbell River School District is facing the challenge of making up a shortfall of more than $1 million in the next three years.

And the board of trust-ees wants to make sure everybody knows it.

D ur ing Tues day ’s school board meeting, board chair Susan Wil-son shared with fellow trustees an open letter to the community, which outlines the challenges faced by the district in the wake of $29 mil-lion in province-wide administrative cuts next year and an additional $24 million the follow-ing year.

The district’s share of those mandated cuts would cost it an esti-mated $300,000 next year and a further $285,000 in 2016/17. That is on top of an estimated short-fall of roughly $700,000 already anticipated for

the 2015/16 school year, resulting from declining enrolment.

“Since the (provincial) budget was announced, it seems a lot of infor-mation put out by the media and through the government focusses on some of the increases that are being targeted to cover salary and ben-efit increases,” Wilson said. “However, there doesn’t seem to be a lot of mention about further cuts that are going to be expected of all school districts.”

Treasurer Kevin Pat-rick cautioned the fig-ures are only estimates at this point.

“We have not received instructions from the Ministry of Education how this is to be applied yet,” Patrick told the board. “We don’t know the actual amounts until we put this stuff into the budget in (late) March. Hopefully we’ll get those instructions before the end of the month.”

Trustee Daryl Hagen asked whether the dis-trict could use existing reserves to offset the budget hit next year and

“ease into the transition.”Patrick noted that

when the district went through a similar man-dated budget cut of five per cent from its admin-istrative budget five years ago, it was a targeted cut — and had to be reported to the Ministry.

“With a general decline in revenue, usually the board has the oppor-tunity of spreading out losses through use of reserves or appropria-tions,” he said. “Unfor-tunately, with the past practice of the five per cent administrative sav-ings, it is targeted; it has to be a physical reduc-tion in the budget.”

Trustees took turns around the table adding to or modifying infor-mation in Wilson’s letter, which was written with

the help of district com-munications coordinator Jennifer Patrick.

Trustee Joyce McMann said emphasis should be placed on increased costs to MSP health premi-ums, BC Hydro rates and ICBC premiums.

“Those increases are significant in themselves, in terms of raising our expenditures at the same time as we’re defunding the grants coming in,” said McMann. “Yes, cuts are being made, but there are additional stresses on the money that will be left.”

Trustee John Kerr noted that, at the same time the province is demanding a $29 mil-lion cut to public edu-cation budgets, it has approved $30 million in capital funding of private schools in the coming year.

“That’s almost directly where that money’s going,” Kerr said.

Hagen and Wilson both said that families of students in the district must be assured that it will continue to empha-sis quality programs and instruction, regardless of

the changes to the bud-get that may be coming.

“We have new initia-tives and new things happening at every level,” said Hagen. “It’s not because we have more money, it’s because everyone’s on board to do the best for what we’re here for — for the kids.”

Hagen made a motion that the letter be signed by the board as a whole, rather than just Wilson, to bolster its import. It passed unanimously.

Wilson said the let-ter would be sent out to all media outlets in the Campbell River School District area, as well as to the BC School Trust-ees’ Association and the Ministry of Education.

She added she would attend a conference call with fellow BCSTA directors and other board members throughout the province Monday to dis-cuss the issue.

“In spite of all this, we’ll continue to do our best, with the dedication and commitment of the staff, to continue to make the Campbell River edu-cation system work for our students,” she said.

THEY SAID IT: “... there are additional stresses on the money that will be left.”– Joyce McMann

City councillors are all up in arms about the amount of tagging or grafitti being spray painted on buildings around the community.

While, we acknowledge that it is a crime and does damage public and private property, forcing owners and taxpayers to pay prohibitive clean up costs, we have to wonder why this much attention isn’t paid to more pressing issues. On this page, editor Alistair Taylor writes about the disturbing number of fatal beatings that have happened in our community and across Vancouver Island.

Previous city councils took a lot of criticism for a lack of action on homelessness in the community and since then there has been a multi-pronged approach on providing services, particularly on an emergency

basis, to the city’s home-less. This represents an admirable response from the city and other agen-cies to a call to arms on a serious social issue.

It would be nice to see the same response on other issues. The previous council heard last July from Dr. Charmaine Enns, the North Island’s medical health officer, who painted a bleak picture that showed Campbell River is above average in all the wrong categories but, in particular, the well-being of our children. She said the statistics show that a lot of our children are struggling from a young age.

“Campbell River children rate lower for standards of reading and writing to their counterparts in B.C. and the rest of the Island and the Campbell River area has a high rate of kids in need of care,” said Enns, noting that in Campbell River, 23 children per 1,000 kids require protection compared to 12 per 1,000 kids in the rest of B.C. Campbell River kids are also more vulnerable to physical disability compared to their counterparts in B.C.

So, forgive us if we don’t get too hot under the collar about grafitti like our city councillors but we would like to see this much energy – and money –applied to some more pressing issues.

Misplaced priorities?

Our View

We say: Tagging is bad, yes, but there are more pressing issues

Sentence never ends for victim’s familySome years seem to have

more significance than others, although really, there’s little dif-ference between one year and the next. Or the previous.

But for some reason, anniver-saries that fall on decades and half decades, feel like some kind of milestone.

That’s why this year is a par-ticularly difficult one for Bob and Maureen Smythe who are marking five years since the killing of Bob’s son Christo-pher.

Christopher attended a house party on Rockland Road on Feb. 27, 2010 at a townhouse rented by Tyler Pastuck, then 26, and attended by Derek Crowther, 23, and Jacob Law-rence, 20, among others. The party progressed until the wee hours when neighbours called police after seeing a man being dragged by his ankles and then being “stomped on” by two or three other men.

As former Campbell River Mirror reporter Paul Rudan wrote, based on court testi-mony, “RCMP arrived within minutes of the call and found (Christopher) Smythe behind the complex, still alive, but badly beaten. He died three

days later from blunt force head injuries.

“Const. Rob Munroe then spotted Crowther and other party goers standing at an open townhouse window. The Mountie recognized Crowther from past dealings and told him to go to the front door so the officer could speak to him.

“But Crowther didn’t respond and shut the window. Const. Munroe sur-mised that Crowther was involved in the assault and moved qu i c k l y t o t h e entrance. He then kicked in the front door and, with gun drawn, went upstairs where the partiers had congregated.

“Crowther was found hiding under a mattress while Pastuck was found hiding in a closet. Both were covered in mud – it was wet outside – and blood found on both of them was later identified, through DNA analysis, to have belonged to the victim.”

In January 2012, Pastuck was sentenced to seven years in a

federal prison while Crowther received a six-year term. How-ever, their sentences were both reduced by 27 months due to time already served behind bars. Their sentences were upheld in an appeal. Lawrence never went to trial because he died in a motorcycle accident

in June 2011.Now, the other

two have one year left on their parole and are out of prison on statutory release (released into the community after serving two-thirds of your custodial sen-tence).

Bob and Maureen Smythe, however, will never be released from their sentence.

Their son is still dead. He won’t come back. And the Smythes won’t be able to “get over it.”

“You never get over it,” Bob tells me.

Pastuck and Crowther were convicted of manslaughter after they and Lawrence beat and kicked Chris to the point where, three days later, he died of his injuries. The Crown prosecutor pursued man-

slaughter charges, Maureen says, because he couldn’t prove that the attackers knew that what they were doing would kill Chris. She is, not surpris-ingly, astounded by this legal nicety.

“It’s not manslaughter, it’s murder,” Maureen said. “Peo-ple see manslaughter as not so bad so, therefore, Bob should get over it. Enough time has passed; five years ago.”

But, as Bob said, you never get over it.

“There’s so many triggers. I think of him (Chris) every day,” Bob says. “You wonder what it would be like if he was around.”

It’s not just a one time event. You have to relive the killing over and over again as the legal process rolls on. The killing happens and then there is a preliminary hearing and then it goes to trial and then the person goes to prison and then there’s appeal after appeal.

“It’s like, the courts, for the last four-and-a-half years never stopped,” Maureen said.

“They’re looking for a way out. They’re looking to try to find a loophole somewhere so that they can get out because

● Due diligence on artificial turf neededI think someone needs to do “due diligence” and

listen to what the experts have to say,when it comes to artificial turf. Sports group, soccer teams, medical profession, players, university researchers, all ques-tion the validity of artificial turf verses conventional turf.

The major concerns are from the players – safety, many injuries; from the medical profession – con-cerns about the health issues, need to spray antibac-terial liquids for mould control, allergic reaction; from maintenance, high cost of chemicals for mould control, vacuuming, replacement patches, initial field preparation cost (double that of regular turf).

I would recommend that all of the above, must be addressed before putting our kids at risk.

they don’t feel that they’ve done wrong,” Bob says. “That’s not right. And they’re just wasting everybody’s time and money. We as taxpayers, we’re paying for all that.”

And now there’s parole hearings and Bob attends those because he feels he should be there to keep track of what happens.

But as bad as being dragged through the legal system is, it’s also difficult for the Smythes because they’re still liv-ing in the same town as the family of the killers. In fact, one family lives in the same neighbour-hood, one street over. They see them walking by their house.

“It’s a small commu-nity,” Maureen says.

It’s a difficult situation. The Smythes don’t want to move and why should they? They’ve lived in this town for years. Bob is nearing retirement from his job.

“What are we supposed to do? Are we supposed to run and hide,” Bob says.

And another disturb-ing component of this anniversary is that it has happened again in an eerily similar incident last year. Last October, Joshua Billy was killed in a carport on Alpine Road, beaten to death at a party.

Nobody has been charged in connection with that incident still. Yet, there had to have been somebody who saw something. Billy’s family has been circulat-ing posters around town hunting for someone who saw something and is willing to come for-ward.

There was a 911 call placed after the Billy b e at ing de at h but nobody has come for-ward.

The Smythes can’t understand why people won’t speak up. If some-one had done something sooner, Billy may not have died. It’s the same with Chris Smythe. If someone had spoke up, called police, something,

things might have been different.

The Smythes know how Billy’s family feels and they urge people to come forward with information in these situations. They’re also appalled at the plague of violence happening in communities all over Vancouver Island.

So now, the Smythes’ lives have been changed forever. The life with their son that they were anticipating can never be.

“Until you actually lose

somebody close to you like that you can never understand,” Bob says.

Five years have passed. The pain is no less this year than it was last year and it won’t be any different next year. But somehow five years feels significant.

“Five years, it’s an anni-versary of sorts, right? I think what’s hitting so hard is that these guys are out of prison,” Mau-reen says.

But the Smythes, they live with this for the rest of their lives.

Some Common Nutrient De� ciencies Caused by Drugs Diuretics: hydrochlorathiazide is particularly bad at depleting many nutrients including magnesium, potassium CoQ10 and zinc. Magnesium is a very common de� ciency in the North American diet contributing to symptoms like: headaches and migraine headaches, heart palpitations, anxiety, joint pains and an irritable bladder. It is also crucial for blood sugar metabolism and insulin sensitivity in Type- 2 Diabetics so it helps optimize the function of diabetic medication. Statin drugs: are well known to deplete CoQ10 and there is mounting evidence that taking CoQ10 may help prevent some of the adverse effects of statins such as: cognitive decline, neuropathy, pancreatic and liver dysfunction and sexual dysfunction. Mitochondria are the power houses of the different cells in the body (except red blood cells) and certain drugs are toxic to the mitochondria. These include acetominophine, NSAIDS, tobacco, cocaine, alcohol, minocycline, propranolol, L-dopa and statins. Magnesium is stored within the mitochondria and is a crucial mineral to supplement when taking these drugs, in addition to B complex. Other nutrients that I use regularly to support mitochondrial function are L-Carnitine and Lipoic acid. SSRI antidepressants work better with folic acid. Up to one third of depressed individuals are folate-de� cient. If the drug is restarted with poor results, folic acid makes the SSRI work better the second time around. Nutraceuticals may exert a “drug-sparing effect that allows a person to lower doses of conventional medications” under the supervision of a naturopathic doctor. Isn’t that what you want, fewer drugs not more?

A dive and response crew checks out the 50-foot live-aboard ves-sel Pursepa, which remained stuck in the mouth of Campbell River this week after running aground Monday afternoon.

A 50-foot pleasure boat remained grounded in the mouth of Campbell River this week, days after running aground in the middle of the chan-nel.

T h e P u r s e p a , a wooden-hulled, live-aboard vessel, grounded between 2 and 3 p.m. Monday, resulting in a response from a Camp-bell River Coast Guard crew and Marine Assist International, as well as a regional dive and tow business.

“It’s been kind of an on-and-off case,” Coast Guard spokesperson Dan Bate said early Tues-day.

No injur ies were reported in the incident. The boat was listing hard to starboard Tuesday afternoon, with water over the starboard deck, as spectators looked on and shot photos from the end of the spit.

O n e p e rs on w a s reportedly aboard the boat when it grounded. The owner contacted Marine Assist Interna-tional, which located a DCD Piledriving tug that responded to help secure or extract the vessel.

When those respond-ers experienced “some difficulties,” according to Bate, the Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre in Victoria was called and dispatched a lifeboat crew from Campbell River’s Coast Guard sta-tion to support the effort.

Wooden bracing was secured to the starboard side of the Pursepa Mon-day to prevent it from tipping until it could be floated or towed on the tide. When that proved impossible on Tuesday’s high tide, float bags were attached to the star-board rail to limit fur-ther tipping, and a crew from Pacific Pro Dive & Marine Adventures was called to inspect the grounding Tuesday.

“We’re just having a look to see if it will need a tug and crane (extrac-tion) or what the best course will be,” said a member of the crew, who declined to give his name. “We’re going to sound some depths at high tide,” about 4 p.m. Wednesday.

The Pursepa was built in 1928 for the Depart-ment of Fisheries, which used it to patrol the coast. According to a 2011 profile in The Ship-ping News, it was pur-chased in 1998 by Ian Henry and retrofitted into a live-aboard plea-sure craft.

Council takes look at aging viewing platform KRISTEN DOUGLAS


The city will consider replacing the decaying viewing platform at Dick Murphy Park despite some councillors’ hesi-tation to spend so much money on designs.

Council mostly spoke against the project – Coun. Ron Kerr even said he was going to make a motion, which never happened, to remove the item from the budget – but Ross Milnthorp, the city’s gen-eral manager of parks, recreation and culture, confirmed the item is in the 2015 budget.

It comes at a cost of $25,000 for designs on how to rebuild the plat-form at the north end of the Tyee Spit near Corilair.

Mayor Andy Adams said during the Feb. 25 budget planning ses-sion that he thought that price was too high.

“My concern is that at $25,000 that’s for design and not for repairing or construction at all and I find that somewhat unpalatable,” Adams said. “I also know this might be something of interest to service clubs or interest groups around town (to sponsor).

“I find $25,000 a little hard to take.”

Coun. Kerr said he thought it was pointless for the city to take on another viewing plat-form when the city can just barely keep up with maintenance on the existing bird blind at the opposite end of the Spit.

“I think we have a cur-rent lookout to the south that we’re not able to maintain properly so I don’t see at this point any point in putting funds toward a new platform,” Kerr said.

Coun. Larry Samson, who brought the rotting platform to council’s attention last summer and who had previously advocated for a replace-ment, said he had con-cerns over what he had been hearing from the float plane operators.

“My understanding is

there is some concern from the aviation indus-try with this and that they weren’t unhappy when it went away,” Samson said. “So when we install something like this, is there consulta-tion?”

Dave Morris, the city’s general manager of facilities, said all stake-holders will be engaged but added that he hadn’t “personally heard that the aviation industry is happy that it went away or in opposition to a new one.”

Coun. Charlie Corn-field, who supported the revival of the viewing

platform, said that dur-ing a previous term on council he sat as council liaison on a Dick Mur-phy Park master plan committee and never heard any opposition.

“I never once heard of any complaints,” Corn-field said. “I trust staff would involve all stake-holders with what comes up as a design.”

Cornfield urged coun-cil to support the design work.

“I sat for two years on this (committee), which was a full public consul-tation that came up with what the public wanted to see and I think look-

ing at alternatives that suit the site and the exist-ing condition needs to be done,” Cornfield said. “I am not concerned about the engineering and design, anytime you’re working in tide water those costs are up and I don’t find those costs unrealistic. Without the design, we’re ham-strung.”

While council did defeat a motion to fund the design work from the Parks Parcel Tax, with only councillors Cornfield and Samson in favour, no other action was taken by council on the viewing platform and

Milnthorp said Wednes-day that left the project on the books.

In November coun-cil voted to spend up to $10,000 to remove all of the unsafe elements of the platform, which includes the timber deck platform and guardrails which rest on three log stringers.

The pilings and con-crete abutment on shore have been left in place to give the city the option of using them for a new and improved structure.

Staff have estimated the cost to completely re-build the platform to be around $75,000 but there is also a cheaper option of building the smaller viewing plat-form on shore, rather than extended out over the water.

The platform was inherited by the city more than six years ago during amalgamation of property at the end of Tyee Spit. It previously served as the approach-way to a set of floating docks belonging to the previous land owner.

Inspectors discovered severe and widespread

fungal decay in the platform’s log stringers and deck last May and deemed it a safety haz-ard and a liability to the

city. It was subsequently cordoned off with cau-tion tape until the city removed the structure a few months ago.

A “Blood Blitz” event in Campbell River next week will offer rapid HIV testing, with results available in less than 60 seconds, AIDS Van-couver Island announced.

The March 11 event will feature point of care tests, including the Rapid HIV test, with results available in less than 60 seconds. Pre

and post-test counselling will also be available.

“Offering the 60 second tests, greatly reduces the anxiety people feel about waiting to get their results,” said Leanne Wingert, event organizer and support worker at AVI in Campbell River. “We can provide test-ing and offer support all in

one visit. We’re hoping peo-ple will visit us for the Blood Blitz to see how easy getting tested can be.”

Despite studies showing that early detection pro-vides the best possible out-come for those living with HIV it is estimated that 25 per cent of individuals in Canada who are HIV posi-

tive are unaware of their status. AIDS Vancouver Island’s “Blood Blitz” aims to provide accessible HIV and STI testing, promote awareness about the impor-tance of early detection and educate individuals about how simple it is to imple-ment regular testing as part of a healthy lifestyle.

The blitz will be held Wednesday, March 11 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Campbell River AVI office (1371 Unit C, Cedar Street).

There will also be light refreshments and door prizes. For information, contact Wingert at 250-830-0787 or email leanne.

Calling all bird lovers and environmentally active groups.

On Saturday, March 14, from 1 - 2:30 p.m., the Past President of BC Nature, John Neville, will present a talk enti-tled Avian Carpenters: Canada’s Woodpeckers. Neville brings his enthus

iasm for the topic based on a lifelong inter-est in birds which began in England. He sound records in the wild with great sensitivity and field craft awareness. His major aim is that the production of his nature recording art will make people more aware of the feathered creatures and their need for a pro-tected habitat.

Neville is hoping to create interest in form-ing a naturalists club in Campbell River that would be affiliated with BC Nature. He says, “We would like to help start a Campbell River Natural-ist Club. Currently there are 53 clubs around

the province under the umbrella of BC Nature (see bcnature.ca or con-tact [email protected]). Our moto is ‘Know Nature and Keep it Worth Knowing’. We therefore have a strong interest in education and conservation. Any indi-viduals, environmentally active groups or staff and students at the col-lege studying conserva-tion, forestry, or biology might be very interested.

Neville is a regular sup-plier of nature recordings to the Library of Natural Sounds and his work is now being exhibited in the new Robert Bate-man Centre in Victoria. He is currently working on his most ambitious project to date, “Bird Songs of Canada”. Seri-ous Field Recording of birds began in 1993 after studying with the MacAuley Library of Natural Sounds, Cor-

nell University. As Nev-ille Recording, John has produced seventeen regional sound guides to bird identification and an e-book titled ‘Trav-elling the Dempster’. He just released the 4CD set ‘Bird Songs of Can-ada , Chants D’Oiseax du Canada’. He regu-larly presents at Birding Festivals such as Brant Festival, Wings over the Rockies and the Mead-owlark Festival. He has published articles in Birds and Blooms and journals for the Ontario Nature (Seasons), Nature Saskatchewan, BC Field Ornithologists (B C Birds), Wildlife Sound R e c ord i n g S o c i e t y (Wildlife Sound), and BC Nature (bcnature). He is the current recipi-ent of the BC Nature Elton Anderson Award for outstanding achieve-ment in public conserva-tion. The cost for the talk is $7. Call the Museum at 287-3103 to reserve a seat.

A team of researchers want to know what’s going on under the sea near the Discovery Fishing Pier.

Roe Markham from Ocean Net-works Canada (ONC), a non-profit society established by the University of Victoria, told city council last week that it wants to install an ocean obser-vatory near the pier.

He told council at its Feb. 23 meet-ing that the cable observatory would allow researchers to view what’s going on under the ocean from their lab at UVic.

“It feeds data from real time instru-ments on the sea floor to UVic,” Markham said. “It’s a robot that runs around the ocean floor.”

A hydrophone attached to a kit on the sea floor would allow researchers and visitors to listen to whales and ships as they go by.

Markham said Campbell River is a good candidate for such an observa-tory because of the new Discovery LNG terminal that has moved onto the former Catalyst mill site.

“Discovery Passage has seen pro-gressive growth of marine traffic and use over the years and the number and size of vessels may increase if the Elk Falls terminal is redeveloped,” he said. “The publicly available scientific data form ONC observatories will

contribute to the assessment of any long term, cumulative or accident-related impacts.”

Campbell River’s observatory would be equipped with a shore sta-tion that has a weather station and a surface camera.

The shore station, attached to dock pilings, would track and record local water quality, and potentially images from an underwater camera.

Markham added that the ocean observatory could serve as an educa-tional tool for the school system.

“Community teachers and students will be invited to participate in an educational program associated with observatories with the goal of con-necting schools in other coastal com-munities to exchange ocean data and knowledge,” Markham said. “ONC will work with local educators to help integrate learning modules based on local observatory data, particularly suited to interests of students and teachers in the Campbell River and Quadra Island communities.”

Markham said Ocean Networks Canada is also interested in install-ing an Automatic Identification Sys-tem at the Cape Mudge lighthouse on Quadra to track large vessels and measure surface currents, wave heights and direction through a spe-cial radar system.

Both systems are expected to be in place for 20 years or more.

A unique initiative to brighten the lives of hospital patients while showcasing the work of local artists makes its public debut this week-end when Campbell River Arts Council hosts a community reception to launch its Art-in-the-Hospital Initiative.

The reception is sched-uled for 1-3 p.m. Sunday in the hospital’s cafeteria, from which volunteers will be available to walk with small groups so the public can admire the art. Light refreshments will be served. Everyone is welcome.

An ‘Art Path’ has been created, through funding by the Hospital Auxiliary,

produced in partnership with local groups includ-ing Ripple Rock Elemen-tary, Carihi, Head Injury Society, Family Services, Kwanwatsi Preschool Program, hospital staff and volunteers. Each group has created a ‘sta-tion’ within the hospital along the Art Path. The Initiative’s aim is to have the work changing every six months. Alongside these community groups are also works from local artists Curtis Wilson and Jill Paris Rody.

The project has been in the works for the last year, and was created with patients, staff and visitors in mind.

A small but committed

group representing hos-pital staff, the Campbell River Arts Council and a number of community volunteers have been bringing together artists, the hospital administra-tion, and key members of the hospital staff to facilitate the introduc-tion of more visual art into the hospital.

Many patients now in our hospital are coping with chronic illnesses, some requiring fre-quent and/or prolonged hospital admissions. These patients, and their caregivers, need cour-age and support as they await recovery or learn to adapt to new health challenges. The intent of

this Initiative is to offer a practical means to help with these journeys.

Island Health would like to remind all that usual infectious disease precautions will be in place on March 8. Spe-cifically this means that visitors will need to wear a facemask if they have not received the influ-enza vaccine and are advised not to attend at all if they are ill with an infectious disease.

For more information please contact the Arts Council at 923-0213 or email [email protected]. Financial dona-tions are welcome and can be made through the website www.crarts.ca.

Dancing & Tapas, the Campbell River Rotar-ians international wheel-chairs fundraiser, returns April 11 to North Island College.

This event supports Rotary and the Cana-dian Wheelchair Foun-dation worldwide. It all started when Christiana Flessner the director of the Canadian Wheel-chair Foundation made a presentation to Rotary Clubs in Campbell River in 2003.

But, it took another three years to achieve their goal. They started to have their first fund-raiser on Easter Saturday in 2006. All those funds were designated to pur-chase 280 wheelchairs to be shipped to the Rotary Club of Yahanuara in Arequipa, Peru.

Final ly their goal became a reality in Octo-ber of 2007 when they embarked on their first delivery.

Inspired by the suc-cess of that first delivery, they doubled our efforts in raising the needed money for our next con-tainer.

Of course, they could only sell so many wheel-chairs to Rotary mem-bers and so they decided to go public with their fundraising program.

They soon joined forces with the North

Island College culinary arts program in Camp-bell River, and a new fundraiser was born: Dancing & Tapas.

C a m p b e l l R i v e r responded so enthusi-astically to the Dancing with Tapas concept that

they were able to fund-raise an entire container of 280 wheelchairs in one night.

T h e j o i nt e f for t between the two Rotary Clubs provides wheel-chairs to children or adults in need. It is

opening up a new world of possibilities for recipi-ents and their families, to be able to attend school, to work or simply partic-ipate in family and com-munity activities.

All the members of the Rotary Clubs of Camp-bell River are proud to have been able to make a difference in the world for the disabled and their families with the follow-ing distributions:n Peru 2007n Venezuela 2009n Argentina 2011n Philippines 2012n Colombia 2013n South Africa 2014n Bolivia 2015n Vietnam 2016 (

already funded)n Indonesia 2017 They are committed to

continue to fundraise for this program and for the Canadian Wheelchair Foundation. The next fundraiser will be for Indonesia on April 11.

The ultimate goal is to bring one container of wheelchairs to each and every country in South America as well some countries in Asia.

According to the World Health Organi-zation over 150 million disabled people are in need for a wheelchair and Rotary has made it their job to make a dif-ference and to change this statistic forever.

Charlie Brown takes stageOh, brother.Timberline Second-

ary School will bring the beloved characters of Charles Schulz’s Peanuts comic strip to life when it presents the musi-cal You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown March 19-22 at the Timberline Theatre.

Shows will be held

March 19, 20 and 21 at 7 p.m., with a 2 p.m. mati-nee Sunday, March 22.

The whole gang is here: bossy Lucy is hope-lessly in love with piano prodigy Schroeder, who doesn’t give her the time of day; perfectionist Sally is still mocking blanket-toting Linus; Snoopy is in the doghouse; and

“blockhead,” himself, Charlie Brown, is in rare form. Brief vignettes span the months from Valent ine’s Day to Beethoven Day, from wild optimism to utter despair. Whether you’re keen to fly with the Red Baron, moon over the Moonlight Sonata, or just do your best to

find “Happiness,” You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown is a crowd-pleas-ing classic.

Tickets are $15 for adults; $12 for seniors and students, available at the door. For more infor-mation, call Celine Ouel-lette at 250-923-9500, ext. 2589, or email [email protected].

WiL to headline Tidemark roots rock twinbillWhere there’s a WiL, there’s a

Lion, a Bear and a Fox.And the whole menagerie will

appear at Tidemark Theatre March 27 for a dynamic show of roots- and stomp-rock.

Calgary-raised Wil Mim-naugh, aka WiL, started strum-ming his first guitar at the age of 11 and quickly realized what he was born to do. Add in three decades of tireless commitment to becoming a better singer/songwriter — as WiL puts it, “if you think you’re pretty good – get better” — moving beyond playing covers to bar crowds and eventually ascending to international success with a major ad campaign, and you

have a taste of WiL’s adventure chasing his “crazy little dream.”

With his unbridled dedica-tion and the support of local fans, WiL’s fifth studio album, El Paseo, was released in Sep-tember 2014. The album, aptly named “The Ride” in Spanish, has seen its first single “Make Make” climb the charts and earn a nomination for Best Song on CBC Music Awards.

In 2014, El Paseo earned WiL countless new fans with a busy touring schedule and rave reviews–the album was described as “his masterpiece” and “an often breathtakingly beautiful and achingly honest work of personal discovery,” by

the Calgary Herald.It took Christopher Arruda

(The Lion), Cory Woodward (The Bear) and Ryan McMahon (The Fox) more than thirty years to find each other but only one month for this “musical force of nature” (Nanaimo Daily News) to realize they were meant to join their voices as one.

After securing a top 20 posi-tion in 102.7 The Peak’s pres-tigious “Peak Performance Project”, the band released their debut EP “We’d Be Good Men” in 2013 and went on to celebrate the effort in numerous sold-out venues across B.C. and Alberta.

In less than a year, The Lion The Bear The Fox have

cemented themselves as a hard-working Canadian band with an uncompromising dedication to performance. 2015 will be the year they start to deliver their energetic brand of “stomp rock” to the United States and beyond.

Sponsored by the Campbell River Mirror and Coast Discov-ery Inn, WiL and The Lion The Bear The Fox will perform at the Tidemark Theatre on March 27. Tickets are $22 for members and $27 for non-members (plus applicable taxes and fees) and can be purchased at the box office Thursday through Satur-day, between noon and 4 p.m. Tickets are also available online at tidemarktheatre.com.

WiL (Wil Mimnaugh) brings his roots rock to the Tidemark stage March 27.

Irish dancers liven St. Patrick’s DayThe Tara School of

Irish Dancing will step lively into St. Patrick’s Day with a series of per-formances March 14, 15 and 17 in Campbell River.

The brief but ambi-tious tour kicks off with a dance performances Saturday, March 14, at the Royal Canadian Legion Irish Dinner and, afterward, at the St. Pat-rick’s Parish annual din-ner and dance.

On Sunday, March 15, the troupe moves on to the Maritime Heritage Centre for a pair of after-

noon tea performances. The Centre will host two sittings of tea, at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m., during which guests will be enter-tained by the dancers while enjoying tea with scones, fresh cream, jam and other tea-time treats in the oceanfront setting.

Finally, the Tara School dancers wrap up on St. Paddy’s Day itself, Tuesday, March 17, with three more dance per-formances. At midday they’ll be at the Camp-bell River Adult Care Centre, then move down the road for shows at the

Comox Valley Seniors Village and Glacier View Seniors Home.

The dancers will take a well-earned rest over Spring Break while dance director Marga-ret Mullen travels to Montreal for the World Championships of Irish Dancing. This is the first time the World Champi-onships have been held in Canada, and Mullen has been honoured by the Irish Dancing Com-mission as one of four `Legends of Canada` from the Western Can-ada Region.

With the beginning of spring comes the begin-ning of the 2015 race season for the riders of the Vancouver Island Hare Scramble Series (VIHSS), and the excite-ment is high.

Similar to motocross, Hare Scramble is a form of off-road racing that uses a combination of motocross tracks as well as a marked course through wooded or other natural terrain.

The VIHSS takes place during the spring and fall, and consists of 6 races than are located around the island, such as Campbell River’s Motocross Track and Nanaimo’s Wastelands. Riders are separated into skill-based classes and

compete against each other for points that will lead to a series win.

One of the series’ lead-ing men is Jarrett May, a rider who competes at both a provincial and national level in the “Pro” class. A leader in the dirt-biker commu-nity, May was one of the founding members of VIHSS five years ago. Along with other riders, such as Campbell River’s Bob Stewart, he devel-oped the series after wit-nessing the success of his first organized event.

“In 2010, I orga-nized my first official Hare Scramble event at Whiskey Creek, Qua-licum. The event was a big success and I then realized we needed a full series here on Van-couver Island. Over the off-season from trail

racing, I worked day in, day out, organizing an official Hare Scramble series now known as the VIHSS.”

The birth of the series was the first step of many, as the same founders of VIHSS went on to create the full association/non-profit society of VIDRA (Vancouver Island Dirt Riders Association).

“We have over 10 offi-cial board members that are dedicated to making a difference, not only for the racing community but the off-road motor-cycle community as a whole.

“We have already solidified two riding areas with our B.C. Gov-ernment and are seeking other potential areas on Vancouver Island.”

May acts as VIDRA’s 2015 Racing Director,

but in previous years served as the President. He is also the Team Owner and Manager of TEN FOUR Racing, a team he developed to nourish up and coming riders.

A Campbell River resi-dent, Fraser Stewart, 17, is a seasoned rider of the VIHSS and a member of May’s TEN FOUR rac-ing team. Riding in the Expert class in 2015, Stewart says that the community has helped him grow as a rider.

The beginning of the 2015 Vancouver Island Hare Scramble Series begins March 22 with THE KATOOM, at the Campbell River Moto-cross Track. Interested riders are encouraged to come mingle with other riders and join in the race as a new rider.

Breagha ZakaiBCarihi Mirror

In the fall of 2014 Carihi welcomed the new Vice Prin-

cipal, Fred Schaub. He made is way over

from Bella Bella, but before that was born and raised in Switzer-land. Everyone sees the familiar, friendly face around the school, but with everyone running to get to class, lots of people haven’t had time to get to know him.

Q: When did you

decide you wanted to become an educator?

A: Very late, I was almost 40.

Q: Why Campbell River, what brought you here?

A: It was time to move on from Bella Bella, I was the principle there. Campbell river is much better than being in the big city, such as Vancouver.

Q: What is your favor-ite thing about being Vice Principal?

A: Not being the actual principal, It’s

more involvement with students, and less office work.

Q: When you retire, what is one thing you want to be remembered for?

A: Helping less privi-leged and struggling students.

Q: What is one piece of advice you can give to the upcoming gradu-ates?

A: Keep your options open, step back once and a while and look at the whole situation. You have got lots of time,

there is no rush, just make good use of it.

Q: Carihi is full of diversity and accep-tance, how do you sup-port this and think we could improve it even more?

A: Be open to every-one’s ideas, and never judge.

Q: What do you really enjoy about Carihi?

A: Friendly atmo-sphere from everyone, I also really love the old building.

Q: Do you have any hidden talents?

A: I bend the rules.Q: One thing on your

bucket list?A: Sail my boat up the

coast.Q: Did you teach in

Switzerland?A: No, before I moved

here I was a cabinet maker.

Q: Aside from cheese, watches, knives and bank accounts, what do you miss most about Switzerland?

A: My parents, they are the main reason I go back. Also I don’t really like cheese.

Getting to know: Mr. Schaub

A few people may con-sider the snooze button the best invention of all time, though a lot of peo-ple aren’t able to use it.

Even 15 minutes in the morning can be a bless-ing in some cases, and with Timberline Second-ary and Carihi Second-ary having differing start times, it might seem like a drastic difference to a student.

“I don’t think that changing the start of school to an earlier time would be convenient for the students,” says Aus-tin Chiasson, a Carihi student. “While it would allow some to start later, others would still catch the early morning buses and would have to wait an extra 20 minutes to start school.”

Carihi’s last morning bell is at 8:40 a.m., while Timberline’s is at 8:55, and even that can change

someone’s morning. “I think that starting

early could negatively impact one’s life because, on average, people need around 8-10 hours of sleep, which is hard to sustain considering the fact that lots of teens are staying up trying to fin-ish homework, and some of us live farther away from school and don’t have vehicles, licences or parents to drive us and have to walk, or take a bus,” says Tianna

McDonald, a student at Timberline Secondary.

Although there is only a 15 minute difference between the bell sched-ules, it could make a huge impact on a stu-dent’s routine.

“Starting earlier than we do means you have to wake up that much ear-lier, which is that much sleep, and every teenager I know has troubles get-ting up in the morning,” says Jordan Holling, a Timberline student.

Where did the time go?

Vice-principal Fred Schaub: not a big fan of cheese.

Since it opened for occupancy last October, more than 100 seniors have called Berwick by the Sea home, sweet home. With an emphasis on “sweet”. “This is the nicest place I’ve ever been in my whole life,” said Ellen Zapshala, sitting in the main lobby beneath a wall of huge cedar blocks as colourful fish swam languidly in a salt-water aquarium over her shoulder. “It’s terrific,” added Harold Zapshala, her husband of 60 years. “Everything is choice.” Following ground-breaking in spring of 2013 and a year-and-a-half of construction, Berwick by the Sea quietly began accepting

residents shortly before Halloween of 2014. Its population spiked last Thursday evening as its owners, financers, contractors and Campbell River politicians and dignitaries presided over the facility’s official grand opening. With speeches and a ceremonial ribbon-cutting, the sixth property in the chain of Berwick Retirement Communities was officially unveiled to the public. “It’s quite a turnout,” said resident Dorothy Kozakowski, who originally moved to Campbell River 14 years ago to join family in the area. “It’s a wonderful place, and the people here are just wonderful. I don’t know how they

find these people; they’re exceedingly nice.” And so are the appointments. Berwick by the Sea boasts a ground-level restaurant and dining room, staffed by chefs who prepare all the residents’ meals. It also boasts the sixth-floor Tyee Lounge with its views of both the

ocean and the city, where food and drink service is available. Berwick also has

a gym and wellness centre with low-impact equipment, where yoga and other fitness classes are held, a lounge area with a billiards table, laundry facilities on each floor, a library, rooftop greenhouse and a 35-seat theatre that can be

used for showing movies or for live presentations. “Sometimes they have the Canucks (hockey games) on, sometimes a movie,” said Kozakowski. “And the food is so good. Sometimes I think that’s all we do here, is eat.” The decor is particularly specific to

Campbell River, with a mix of logging and nautical themes. Historic photos of loggers and fishermen are printed right onto cedar panels on the main floor, while the hallway leading to the Tyee Lounge — which has an actual boat

suspended over its main central table — is lined with old fishing pictures. It was designed by Campbell River native Tracy Higgins of Higgins Group Interior Design in Nanaimo. “I know all the history of the area, so it was easy to come up with ideas,” said Higgins. “I’ve done design for all the Berwick facilities, but I wanted to take a different approach, because it’s in Campbell River … more like a lodge, to reflect the area.” Gordon Denford, who has built homes in Western Canada for 50 years, created the first Berwick Retirement Community in Victoria in 1989. With his son, current CEO Chris Denford, joining as a partner in the family-owned business, additional Berwick communities have been opened in Nanaimo, Comox, Kamloops, along with a second Victoria location.

Good hearing, poor comprehension?The number of people who can hear well, but can’t understand what’s being said, is increasing. This is most evident in conversations and watching television. A newly-developed hearing chip is designed to restore speech comprehension without being noticeable in the ear.

A lot of people have poor comprehension, though they actually still hear well. It becomes noticeable in conversation, watching television and asking family to repeat what’s been said. A potential cause can be undetected loss in the high-frequency range. This means the sensory cells in the cochlea that hear high-range sounds are damaged as a result of circulatory disorders, diabetes, sudden hearing loss or workplace noise. Hearing loss in the high-frequency range makes speech sound muffled and unclear. The person with hearing loss mixes up, or can no longer hear, consonants like s, f, t, k, h and g. Speech comprehension is particularly impaired when there is background noise or when television programs have background music. The dilemma is that people with hearing loss in the high-frequency range do not

consider themselves to have a hearing problem. They can hear deep tones with no issue, and often put difficulty understanding speech down to unclear pronunciation. However, the time soon comes when problems with comprehension become annoying.

A new hearing chip has beendeveloped.

Swiss audiologists have developed a new hearing chip that restores speech comprehension, particularly with hearing loss in the high-frequency range. People can test the new Audéo V system by Phonak simply by calling now to do so. First, a hearing test

Ginette van Wijngaarden, at Connect Hearing, advises people with hearing loss on the new hearing chip, together with her colleagues.

and speech comprehension analysis is done. Where inner-ear damage is present, a software program analyzes the difference relative to normal hearing. These values are then input into the new Venture hearing chip in the Audéo V, which precisely takes into account and balances the frequency range of the person being tested. The test phase in particular is designed to clarify how speech comprehension can be improved in various situations and what role a new technology called “Autosense OS” plays. The chip recognizes where the person being spoken to is located and amplifies only his or her voice, while ambient noise is lowered and the optimum hearing programs are seamlessly adjusted. Thanks to several synchronous microphones, the hearing system can detect sound in all directions and select the direction that speech is coming from within milliseconds. According to Swiss researchers, this significantly augments speech comprehension, especially in conversation.

Interested people can register for a no-obligation demonstration of the Audéo V by calling 888.408.7377

was credited with a leading role in securing the 132-unit, six-storey facility. As a councillor nine years ago he first contacted Gordon Denford, founder of the family-owned business, “and asked him what it would take to get a Berwick in Campbell River,” Adams said. The first requirement, he discovered, was a suitable location. Two vacant lots at the corner of 16th Avenue and Shoppers Row proved

perfect for both views of Georgia Strait and Quadra Island and easy access to downtown services for residents. The $30 million complex is not to be confused with low-income seniors housing. A single-bedroom suite starts at around $2,400 per month, and a variety of one- and two-bedroom options are available, along with a penthouse suite that runs $5,900. But that includes

all meals, hydro, housekeeping, wireless internet in public spaces and basic needs, along with 24/7 monitoring. “Campbell River is sure fortunate,” said Doreen Wickman, a resident whose family originally settled on Quadra Island in 1898. “I always said, all my life, I wanted to be in a seniors place on the water. As soon as my family heard about this, they said, ‘We’ve got the place for you.’”

Residents and guests mingle in the sixth-floor Tyee Lounge during a reception following grand opening festivities at the Berwick by the Sea senior assisted living facility last week.

The urge to garden in early spring is primal. Re-connecting with the earth is affirming, renewing, promising.Waking up the garden to a new growing season is about more than soil and seedlings...this rite of spring is a tonicto the gardener as well.

Early spring garden & yard tasks• clear drainage ditches • repair any bowed sides to raised beds• fix trellises and fencing• weed young spring weeds• mulch bare spots in beds• when it's dry enough, 'top dress' beds.• early spring is the time for lime• prepare your lawn for spring• thin dead foliage of ornamental

grasses and ferns• pull vegetable plant skeletons.

Vegetables and flowers• plant early spring vegetables when

soil is workable• protect seedlings from hard frosts • be one step ahead of the cabbage moth • plant out daffodils, lilies, crocus,

hyacinth and any other bulbs• divide perennials• clear and mulch perennial beds.

Shrubs and trees • prune out dead or damaged branches • prune fruit trees • remove stakes or relax wires installed

on trees planted last fall • apply horticultural oil sprays to pear

and apple trees • also apply oil to ornamental trees and

shrubs • inspect your pole pruner before

using.

Fishing Corner with Don Daniels

Local anglers have had very good winter � shing for salmon in Campbell River and even as we get closer to spring the Winter Springs are plentiful for those angers getting out. December and February has seen consistent catches of � sh coming in and those that � sh know the tides and location and can � sh the morning and be home by noon with their limit. In general the size range of salmon are from 10 to 16 pounds and some big � sh can be caught. Chad Prystupa was

� shing the Hump last month and landed a 31-pound

spring. Locally this � sh is called a Tyee salmon

and American anglers call it a

Springer. In Campbell River you will see logs and debris in the water and � shing boats will have to get around � oating

debris but getting around � oating logs will be easier as the wind and tides will get the � oating lumber to the shore. Fishing for springs can be good at the Kitty Coleman Hump, Bates Beach and around Denman Island. In the month of March � shing will be better at Bates Beach. Those getting out are � shing depths 185 feet using small Tomic plugs and Army Truck Hootchies with a UV Flasher. Point Wilson Darts have been productive for anglers who like to jig for salmon and some nice catches can be had.

River levels in the area are low and if the rain stops water will clear and can be � shable for catch and release trout and Steelhead. In weeks to come anglers from Campbell River

will be � shing the rivers for steelhead and reports

coming in are of moderate to good Steelhead � shing drifting pink rubber worms.

On local stocked lakes the water levels are low and the � sh are a little sluggish but if you put in time and effort some nice trout can

be caught from shore using a worm or Power Bait. In many lakes throwing out a

small spoon or Panther Martin lure can get you a trout for the pan. With no bug hatch the � sh are hungry and will be off the surface so � shing deeper water may be the answer. Next week I have a report from Keeta lake near Sayward and heading back to Campbell River I will try my luck at Roberts lake where some nice trout have been caught in 20 feet of water on the north end of the lake.

At a recent garage sale I picked up a tackle box full of hooks leaders and various odds and ends. I found a packaged lure that was a � attened copper penny with the Lord’s Prayer on it. The Last Resort Tackle Company in Edmonton Alberta made the lure.

There’s a line-up steadily form-ing at Radiant

Life Church as platefuls of steaming hot ham and cheese casserole are being prepared.

It’s 5:30 on a Tuesday night and it’s dinner time for those who use the city’s extreme weather shelter and the less fortunate.

For the St. Vincent de Paul Society it’s a Tues-day night ritual for the many volunteers who have been spending Tuesday nights feeding the city’s most vulner-able since the winter shelter opened nearly four months ago.

Other service groups and volunteers pitch in

to cook and serve meals the rest of the week, but on this particular Tuesday it’s St. Vincent de Paul’s turn and a homestyle meal of cas-serole, tossed salad and homemade buns has been prepared.

Paul Bertrand, presi-dent of Campbell River’s St. Vincent de Paul Society, said the food is always different.

“It’s never the same, we always make sure it’s a different meal each week,” Bertrand says as he pours out salad dressing.

And it seems to be a hit.

“We serve 35 to 50 people per Tuesday night,” Bertrand says. “In January alone we served 162 people, just in that one month, one night a week.”

In fact, the whole year has been a busy one for the St. Vincent de Paul Society, which through St. Patrick’s Catholic Church delivers food hampers to people in the community who are struggling and are in need of assistance.

In 2014, the society distributed $514,782 in emergency food to Campbell River residents and a further

$144,832 worth of free emergency clothing, household goods and furniture.

The society also provided emergency relief to families to help pay utility bills, rent, transportation to medi-cal appointments, bus passes and other assis-tance.

In addition, the soci-ety also held a work training program, a women’s day program, a

family support program, life skills training, a free income tax program, and advocacy for those in need.

St. Vincent de Paul volunteers will continue to provide meals to the less fortunate on Tues-day nights until the end of this month when the extreme weather shelter closes for the season.

Driving emission-free down Electric AvenueDriveway will spend the next few weeks taking a spin down Electric Avenue in a brand new 2015 Nissan LEAF.And shortly after the Van-couver International Auto Show closes on March 29, we’ll be handing the keys to one of these eco-friend-ly electric cars to a reader! (See contest details.)Even if you don’t win the prize car, you might want to do more than kick the tires on the emission free vehicle as the BC Gov-ernment is set to renew its Clean Energy Vehicle incentive program. Details have yet to be revealed but the announced $7.5 million total commitment suggests the instant rebate scheme will reduce the sticker pric-es for all electric, plug-in hybrid and fuel cell vehicles by up to $5,000.The Nissan LEAF S edition starts at just under $32,000, which, after the expect-ed point of sale price reduction, puts the sedan at a competitive price point alongside small gas-powered family cars. The SV adds a quick charge port to the car, some additional technology

and interior improvements for another $5,000 and the SL adds leather seating and alloy wheels for another $3,000. The Nissan Quick Charge Port (standard on SV and SL) allows charging to 80 per cent capacity in 30 minutes at public charging stations, using a DC fast charger. There will be additional incentives for those installing 220-volt fast chargers at home, which reduce charging time to five hours. The fuel efficiency of the four-door, five-seat LEAF is calculated at the gas equivalent of about 2.0 L/100 kms with a range of around 120 kms on a full

charge. The LEAF, which interestingly stands for Leading, Environmentally friendly, Affordable, Family car, is now in its fifth model year. It topped 1,000 sales in Canada late last year, making it the country’s top-selling electric car.The 2015 Nissan LEAF models include Rear View Monitor as a standard fea-ture; an available hybrid heater system

that provides superior cold weather performance while consuming less energy; “B” drive mode increases regenerative braking during decelera-tion; and a standard charge port light and lock with a charge port door release button added to the intelligent key fob.Enhanced interior features on

the 2015 LEAF model range from a standard leather-wrapped steer-ing wheel to a black interior colour and sun visor extensions. Rear cargo space is 680L with the second row seat upright. There is 850L of cargo space with the standard 60/40-split

rear seat folded down.EV-IT improvements for the 2015 LEAF model include an “Eco route” feature in the available navigation system that includes suggested power-saving alternative routes – plus Google’s local search. The Google Places search func-tion allows Nissan LEAF owners to look for area restaurants, shops and other points of interest and browse user reviews using Google’s POI database to get the most up-to-date information at all times.Next week, we report on the drive and the practicality of ownership.

Details have yet to be revealed but the announced $7.5 million total commitment suggests the instant rebate scheme will reduce the sticker pric-es for all electric, plug-in hybrid and fuel cell vehicles by up to $5,000.The Nissan LEAF S edition starts at just under $32,000, which, after the expect-ed point of sale price reduction, puts the sedan at a competitive price point alongside small gas-powered family cars. The SV adds a quick charge port to the car, some additional technology

and interior improvements for another $5,000 and the SL adds leather seating and alloy wheels for another $3,000. The Nissan Quick Charge Port (standard on SV and SL) allows charging to 80 per cent capacity in 30 minutes at public charging stations, using a DC fast charger. There will be additional incentives for those installing 220-volt fast chargers at home, which reduce charging time to five hours. The fuel efficiency of the four-door, five-seat LEAF is calculated at the gas equivalent of about 2.0 L/100 kms with a range of around 120 kms on a full

charge. The LEAF, which interestingly stands for Leading, Environmentally friendly, Affordable, Family car, is now in its fifth model year. It topped 1,000 sales in Canada late last year, making it the country’s top-selling electric car.The 2015 Nissan LEAF models include Rear View Monitor as a standard fea-ture; an available hybrid heater system

that provides superior cold weather performance while consuming less energy; “B” drive mode increases regenerative braking during decelera-tion; and a standard charge port light and lock with a charge port door release button added to the intelligent key fob.Enhanced interior features on

the 2015 LEAF model range from a standard leather-wrapped steer-ing wheel to a black interior colour and sun visor extensions. Rear cargo space is 680L with the second row seat upright. There is 850L of cargo space with the standard 60/40-split

rear seat folded down.EV-IT improvements for the 2015 LEAF model include an “Eco route” feature in the available navigation system that includes suggested power-saving alternative routes – plus Google’s local search. The Google Places search func-tion allows Nissan LEAF owners to look for area restaurants, shops and other points of interest and browse user reviews using Google’s POI database to get the most up-to-date information at all times.Next week, we report on the drive and the practicality of ownership.

By Keith Morgan

The Nissan BladeGlider concept will contribute to the promised sizzle at the upcoming all-new Vancouver International Auto show – now just three weeks away.

All-new Vancouver auto show promises more sizzleThis revolutionary electric car, based on the DeltaWing race car introduced a few years ago, is described by the manufacturer as an “exploratory prototype of an upcoming production vehicle.” Just like the DeltaWing, the BladeGlider features a very different chassis layout – narrow at the front, wide at the rear. The design gives the vehicle a huge aerodynamic advantage of a traditional layout. The roadster has a centrally located driver seat upfront and two passenger

seats behind.It’s the first of a number of concepts to be announced for the show at the Vancouver Convention Centre, which runs from Tuesday, March 24 through Sunday, March 29. Hundreds of new production cars will populate the all-new floor layout of exhibition space. The show floor is growing 25 percent to almost 28,000 square metres by taking over the Ballrooms.Presented by the New Car Dealers Association of BC, the 95th Vancouver

International Auto Show is the premier showcase for car enthusiasts, providing the best opportunity of the year to see some of the world’s most popular brands alongside exciting new features and displays.New features at this year’s event include the return of Exotic Manufacturers, Electric Avenue, and a showcase of the newest and most innovative green vehicles and technologies. That area includes a 100 percent electric powered Bigfoot monster truck. The new

and innovative Car Culture area will feature interactive vignettes, highlighting themed lifestyles and the vehicles that drive them. Custom built and modified hot rods, super cars and luxury vehicles will be showcased. And this year marks the return of commercial vendors selling vehicle parts and accessories.Driveway will profile many of the vehicles from the show immediately before the show opening. [email protected]

PICK OF THE WEEKInfiniti offered the first full glimpse of its QX30 Concept at the 2015 Geneva International Motor Show this past week. It combines the sleek lines of a coupe with the distinguishing features and higher stance of a crossover. Production details have not been [email protected]

Appeal strikes chord with trusteesJ.R. RARDON


Campbell River School District’s model K-12 music programs could be at risk in the coming years if more teaches are not trained in music, the SD72 Board of Trustees was told at its regular meeting Tuesday.

Jennifer Abbott, a music instructor at Sand-owne Elementary, made the remarks on behalf of a delegation of about a half-dozen members of the Campbell River Music Educators’ Asso-ciation.

“In recent years five music teachers have retired from this district, and more will be leaving in the near future,” said Abbott. “This raises con-cern and the realization that there are few quali-fied music teachers avail-able in the province.”

Abbott said a 2013

Quality Teaching Inquiry commissioned by the BC Teachers’ Federation and the BC Music Educators’ Association, entitled Speak Out, determined universities in B.C. do not offer courses that adequately prepare pre-service teachers for music specialization.

“This problem is a con-sequence of the College of Teachers’ decision to focus solely on general-ist teacher training,” said Abbott, who grew up attending music classes in Campbell River. “This poses a potential prob-lem to the longevity and sustainability of our comprehensive music programs in Campbell River.”

Abbott did note the district has hired four instructors in recent years, and the CRMEA has found support for them through profes-sional development

courses. But, she said, the association remains concerned about the lack of trained music teachers for current on-call needs and for future needs in the district.

“Your support in speaking out for more teacher training at the post-secondary level wold be greatly appreci-ated,” said told the trust-ees. “We must continue to advocate and lead by example in the recruit-ment of quality music specialists.”

Abbott’s presentation, ironically, came during a meeting in which the board learned it could be facing more than a mil-lion dollars in lost reve-nue from the Ministry of Education in the coming three years.

She cautioned that without the support of public school music pro-grams, only children of families able to afford

private lessons would be able to experience “this life-enhancing, human-izing art form.”

Abbott also extended a pair of invitations to the board. The first was to attend a music classroom to watch and engage with students in their musical development. The sec-ond was to the annual Music Showcase, in which students from all schools gather to watch their peers perform and close the show with a large group number.”

This year’s showcase

takes place Mar. 19 at 6:30 p.m. at Carihi, and features a piece to hon-our Darlene Ngo, the matriarch of the music educators’ association at the time of her death to cancer last spring.

“Music has always been at the core of this dis-trict, ever since I’ve been a trustee,” said Daryl Hagen. “All my kids went through the music pro-gram here in Campbell River.

“It’s amazing what music can do for your life. It’s a brain-trainer.”

Survey gets strong response

School District 72’s ongoing sur vey on options for the 2015/16 school calendar wraps up today. And as of Tuesday, the district had received a brisk response to the three options forwarded to families and district staff.

“To this point, over 1,700 people have com-pleted the survey, 79 per cent of whom are par-ents and 21 per cent are

staff,” Superintendent Tom Longridge told the Board of Trustees dur-ing its meeting Tuesday. “So I think we have had an incredible response to the calendar process itself.”

Staff and families of students in the district were all emailed the sur-vey.

The survey may still be completed until 8 p.m. today.

As March arrives and the days grow longer, Canadians seem to wake up from the cold, dark days of winter with a renewed energy that fi nds expression in a burst of spring cleaning. And while you’re getting your house in order, this is also a great time for fi nancial spring cleaning – which means getting your fi nancial house in order.

You don’t need cleaning agents, mops and brooms for your fi nancial spring cleaning – all you need is a lockable drawer or fi ling cabinet and a supply of fi le folders in which to organize and store all your fi nancial information. Your fi nancial fi ling system should include:

• Bank statements• Investment account

statements• Insurance policies and

statements• Tax returns from prior

years and supporting information

• Mortgage and loan agreements and statements

• Investment purchases and sales confi rmations

Documents such as wills and powers of attorney are best kept in a fi reproof safe.

As you receive information through the mail or otherwise, fi le it in the cabinet. When documents become older than three years or so, place them in inactive storage (perhaps in a banker’s box, stored in a closet or your basement) to make room for new information. The Canada Revenue Agency suggests that income tax information should be kept for at least six years, however, some of your tax and fi nancial documents should be kept for longer – for example, the evidence to support the cost of an investment property should be retained because it will be needed when reporting the capital gain or loss on the sale of the property.

Your fi nancial spring cleaning should also include organizing your tax info – T3, T4, T5 slips, RRSP receipts, public transit passes, charitable and political receipts, child care and child fi tness receipts, and so on. If you intend to deduct employment expenses, be sure to keep and organize receipts associated with your automobile including car loan and interest payments, gas and maintenance expenses (don’t forget car wash receipts) and insurance costs.

And while you’re doing your fi nancial spring cleaning, why not get in touch with your professional advisor who can help keep your fi nancial life on track – not just this spring, but for a lifetime.This column, written and published by Investors Group Financial Services Inc. (in Québec – a Financial Services Firm), and Investors Group Securities Inc.

Campbel l River’s Cermaq City FC hosted Powell River Villa in the quarterfinals of the Pearkes Challenge Cup in the Vancouver Island Soccer League last Sat-urday.

Coming into the game, both teams sat atop their respective Division 3 groups (Div 3A and 3B). The game was played in front of a great supporting crowd at Willow Point Park.

Powell River Villa was the dominant team in the early stages, as the Cermaq squad seemed to suffer from a case of the jitters. Cermaq was unable to convert any of its early chances and would pay the price about 20 min-utes in, when Villa was able to beat the Cermaq goalkeeper, taking a 1-0 lead.

However, Cermaq would continue to press forward. About 35 minutes into the half, forward Shane Duman-oir received the ball just across the halfway line. He made a sweeping run across the pitch, evaded three defenders and fin-ished with a sharp shot in the bottom corner, equalizing the score.

As the half was com-ing to a close, Cermaq midfielder Eric Roberts made a nifty turn, leav-ing the Villa defender behind. Roberts sent a dangerous cross into

the box that resulted in a handball by Villa. Dumanoir would step up and convert the penalty shot, giving Cermaq the lead heading into half time. In the second half, Cermaq carried much of the play.

The sustained pres-

sure resulted in another corner kick for the home squad about mid way through the half.

Forward Edgar Cran-mer delivered a hard cross into the box and Dumanoir was able to head it in for the hat trick, leading to the final

score of 3-1.Cermaq will travel to

Saltspring for the semi-final match on March 14. This should prove to be another exciting match as Cermaq’s only loss this season was con-ceded at Saltspring back in September.

Campbell River high school wrestling had its best result in 15 years last weekend at the 2015 BC high school wrestling Championships.

Ten wrestlers returned with six medals and seven top six finishes.

Timberline’s Conlan Foy entered the tourna-ment ranked first. He turned in a dominant performance, going undefeated on the day and captured his first provincial gold medal.

In the f inals, Foy defeated his opponent by a score of 16-6.

As a Grade 11 student, Foy will have a chance to defend his title next year.

“I don’t know how to put this into words….five years of visualizing myself winning a provin-cial championship every night,” Foy said.

“My teammates put in the work to keep me on track for years and the coaches have helped me do what I need to do.”

Also from Timberline, Grade 12 90kg wrestler Dawson Mckay earned a silver medal.

Mckay, ranked fourth, wrestled his best tourna-ment ever.

A leader on the team, e x c e l l e nt w re s t l e r, and exemplary stu-dent, McKay has been recruited by both Uni-

versity of Calgary and Simon Fraser University to wrestle for their pro-grams.

Coach Paul Murphy had this to say, “I could not be more proud of Conlan and Dawson. They have worked so hard for so many years and deserve these results. They are both athletes who make coaching worthwhile.”

Carihi’s top placer was Grade 11 student Ali McPhee.

Wrestling at 64 kg, McPhee earned her sec-ond provincial medal, following a gold last year.

This past year has been a year of transition for Seawatch Medical Clinic. We would like to thank our physicians and staff for their commitment to those we serve and to our patients for their continued patience. Please join us in welcoming Drs. Angela Logan and Alejandra Farias to our clinic and community!

Dr. Alejandra Farias originally comes from Chile where she graduated as a Medical Doctor in 2003. Her graduate studies brought her to Vancouver where she completed a MSc and PhD in the � eld of cardiac rehabilitation. Canada soon became home and with the support of her husband and two children she graduated from the Family Medicine Residency at UBC in 2015. Because of the beautiful scenery along with a strong desire to have a family life on Vancouver Island, she and her family will be making Campbell River home. Although she enjoys all � elds of family medicine, Dr Farias’s interests include general medicine, chronic disease care and geriatric medicine.

We are delighted to announce that as of March 30, 2015 Dr. Loganwill join our Seawatch family. Some of you will have met Dr. Loganas she is currently providing locum coverage at the clinic.

Dr. Angela Logan has recently relocated to Campbell River from Ontario with her husband and young son. She studied at both McMaster and Queen’s

University in Ontario, moving to Chilliwack, BC to complete her Family Medicine Residency through UBC. They have moved to Campbell River to be closer to the mountains and ocean and to live the active lifestyle they enjoy. Dr. Logan will be joining Seawatch at the end of March 2015, helping to take over care of some of Dr. Byron’s and Dr. Hind’s patients before she goes on a maternity leave starting August 2015. She will be looking to start full practice when she returns from maternity leave in February 2016. Dr. Logan enjoys all areas of family medicine with particular interest in the areas of women’s health and pediatrics, including intrapartum obstetrical services with the Campbell River Maternity Group.

Coming off a severe knee injury, McPhee turned in a gutsy performance to earn this result.

Also on the girl’s side, Grade 12 student Hailey Dean finished fifth, cap-ping a long and success-ful high school wrestling career.

The Carihi boys acted as dream wreckers at this tournament. Mike Herman (54kg), Alex Jinda (74kg), and Petro Kindy-Olesen (78kg) all entered the tourna-ment unranked. They turned in excellent per-

formances, knocking off the fourth, third, and second ranked wrestlers respectively.

All three earned bronze medals.

Herman finished his high school career with a medal after missing last year and most of this year with a severely dis-located shoulder. Jinda exceeded all expecta-tions, avenging two early season losses with thrill-ing and gritty come from behind victories. Kindy-Olesen earned his first provincial placing with dominant performances

over ranked opponents, falling eventually to the eventual champion in the semi-finals.

Carihi Coach Jason Kerluck said, “as a team, we turned a cor-ner this weekend. We have become the oppo-nent that the rest of the province doesn’t want to wrestle. Coach Mckenzie and I can’t wait to see this team continue to domi-nate next year.”

Carihi athletes Jocelyn Staniforth and Corinne Holmes, along with Southgate wrestler Joel House also attended the

tournament. All three competed hard and look forward to returning next year. In the team race, Timberline and Carihi boys finished sev-enth and ninth respec-tively out of more than 30 teams. Coach Scott Mckenzie says, “two top ten finishes from a town the size of Campbell River is almost unheard of. It was an awesome weekend.”

Next up for the Camp-bell River wrestlers is the National Championships in Fredericton, New Brunswick.

Wrestlers: Off to nationals Continued from Pg. 29

Hailey Dean pins her opponent at the provicials last weekend.

The Panago Midget Tyees entered the Van-couver Island Midget finals having won the North Island, facing the Saanich Braves in a three game series.

With home ice advan-tage, Campbell River faced the Braves at Rod Brind’Amour Arena in a thrilling wide-open display of offensive skill before a packed crowd.

The series primar-ily featured the Tyees’ cohort of third year players, who gutted out the three game series with little rest, and in some cases significant pain from injuries.

With many of the rookies and sopho-mores on leashes so short the coaches could wear them as Pandora charms throughout the year, it was no surprise that the Tyee bench was short for the finals; and it was no surprise when they wore down.

In the final game of the series, at the Gardens on Sunday, the Campbell River crowd was excited but nervous.

For the third years, minor hockey could

be ending forever, an almost unthinkable real-ity. The goal through the year was always to qual-ify for provincials, and only one game separated them from a dream fin-ish. But it was the Braves that seemed to show up with energy, scoring the first two goals on starter Nic Kirchner and widely out-shooting the Tyees early. Through the sec-ond period and into the third the Tyees were

gifted with opportuni-ties to even the score and even pull ahead, with a five-minute advantage and a series of consecu-tive power plays. There was effort, and there was heart, but there did not seem to be a way for the Tyees’ short bench to match the deep, well developed and prepared Braves. Grady McInnes got one back for the Tyees, Jake McKenzie was fantastic, but in the

end the Braves were too much, winning 4-1.

The players never let themselves down, but

were heartbroken on Sunday, bringing an end to the season. Going into game three, the two teams were deadlocked with one win a piece.

The Tyees took game one at Strathcona Gar-dens by a score of 6-5, thanks in large part to Kirchner who stole the game for Campbell River with a remark-able performance. The Braves had many qual-ity scoring chances that, despite Kirchner’s hero-ics, the Braves likely left the Gardens with con-fidence. The alarming trend of penalty killing problems and a weak power play continued for Campbell River, however, which proved the team’s ultimate

downfall.Game two in Saanich

was another close affair, with the Tyees falling short by a score of 6-5.

The Braves dominated play, forcing frequent turn-overs at the Tyee blue-line, exposing the defence time and again. Never seeming to adapt, the Tyees trailed 2-0 after the first. The Tyees fought back to tie the game 2-2, but fell apart due to undisciplined penalties and poor pen-alty killing. In a very short span the Braves took a 5-2 lead and the Tyees never recovered. With the series over, the team wishes its gradu-ates all the best in the future, of health and success and Tyee spirit.
