Campbell River teachers put up “stick-it� lines early this week in a fight for what teachers say are their democratic rights. “We want to make sure the public understands this is not about getting money, it’s about saving a system that’s being destroyed right now,� said Jerry Horton, local representative of the Campbell River District Teachers Association, at the association’s general meeting Monday evening at Thunderbird Hall. Teachers across B.C. are fighting the provincial government for tabling legislation to end the contract dispute between the B.C. Teachers Federation, the government and the B.C.

Teachers have been without a contract since June 2011. “The reality is it just doesn’t involve teachers,� said Neil Thompson, president of the local teachers association. “The reality is, it’s about protecting our Continued on A4

tissues were passed around. After each presentation, everyone in the hall applauded and stood. Family and friends frequently lined up to hug and console the person making the presentation. It was obviously a cathartic experience. Most expressed thanks for Continued on A3

Residential schools: Survivors tell their personal stories Continued from A1 the opportunity to tell their stories, hard as they were. Some of the testimony illustrated the fact that the effect of physical, emotional and sexual abuse carries over into subsequent generations. “There is something inside me that I think goes back to residential schools because of what this person might have done to me,” Calvin Rufus from Alert Bay told the commission. Rufus outlined a lifetime of dealing with abuse he suffered at the hands of an uncle who was a residential school survivor. “I am 43-years-old and I have been carrying this all of my life,” Rufus said. The hearings at Thunderbird Hall were an opportunity for residential school survivors to share with the commission and the federal government the unique experiences of children who attended these schools. The meeting was also an opportunity for all Canadians both Aboriginal and nonAboriginal to learn more about and bear witness to the legacy of the residential school system. This meeting was a build up to the Truth

and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) of Canada regional event to be held in Victoria April 13-14. On Vancouver Island, there were five residential schools (18 in British Columbia) at Ahousat, Port Alberni, Alert Bay, Kuper Island and Tofino. Emotional testimony at Campbell River’s hearing expressed anger, sorrow, regret, understanding and forgiveness. Both presenters and people witnessing
the presentations were frequently overcome with emotion. One woman entered residential school when she was nine and left it when she was 13 or 14. The experience – which included sexual and emotional abuse – devastated her. “When I got out of school I started drinking,” she told the hearing. “I felt I was not worthy. I didn’t care who I was with because I didn’t think I would have the life
that I have today.” Years of alcoholism resulted in uncared for children who ended up being abused themselves. “Some of them were sexually abused because I didn’t protect them because I was drinking,” she said. Survivors told of punishment for speaking their Native languages and other “transgressions,”
which included being smothered by blankets covering them from head to toe or having to wash a flight of stairs from top to bottom with a toothbrush. Survivor Marvin Curley told of a lifelong struggle with anger left over from not only his period of residential school living, but also his parents earlier experience in residential
schools. He drank heavily to try deal with a life without parents, a life of bullying and violence, a life that contradicted the teachings of his elders. “I wanted to drown my pain,” he told the hearing. “Residential school was really good in a way for my education and my sports but as far as my abuse was concerned, It had a terrible effect,” he said. Later, another speaker told the commission that many of the survivors didn’t know that what was happening to them, was also happening to others. “So much happened to each of us individually we never saw what happened to each other,” he said. “That was the worst part of it.” The smaller hearings on Vancouver Island give survivors who may not be able to attend a national event a chance to still share their stories.

Teachers took their pickets to the streets at Phoenix School on Monday.
ity comes with hefty fines – $475 per strike day day for individual teachers, $2,500 each day for officials and $1.3 million a day for the union. The bill also appoints a governmentappointed mediator and includes changes to special-needs education funding, classroom sizes and teacher bargaining rights. The bill caps kindergarten classes at 22 students while Grade 1-3 classes cannot exceed 24. Most Grade 4-12 classes can have up to 30 students and in those classes that exceed the cap, teachers will receive additional compensation. Exceptions to the cap are classes such as band and drama. Jenny Garrels, member of the B.C. Federation of Teachers staff, said Bill 22 takes away teachers’ right to free bargaining and strips teachers of the right
to negotiate class size and composition. “It’s not good news,” Garrels said at Monday’s teachers meeting. “The bill robs us of our rights and hurts children in our classrooms. It’s a callous move.” Teachers are asking for a 15 per cent cost of living increase over three years, as well as improved classroom size and composition. The government, on the other hand, is standing firm on its net zero mandate, meaning no wage increases unless a savings can be found within the teachers union’s contract. Thompson said the government’s salary freeze is unrealistic. “It’s not a zero mandate, it’s a negative three when you factor in the cost of living,” Thompson said. “Their reality is, I think, a little skewed.”
Teachers say the net zero mandate has “hand-cuffed” previous mediators in contract negotiations and with a gover nment appointed mediator it will be no different. “A m e d i a t o r i s needed, but it’s a sham because the mediator is appointed by the government,” Garrels said. Meanwhile, the Labour Relations Board has already appointed its own mediator. “It’s unprecedented, having two mediators,” Garrels said. “The Labour Relations Board appointed an independent mediator that’s not hand-cuffed by the net zero mandate.” In the meantime, Campbell River teachers are planning a march today, starting at Robert Ostler Park at noon and ending at Spirit Square.

Scientists butt heads over extent of Long Lake arsenic levels The lake sits right beside Quinsam Coal Mine PAUL RUDAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Scientists agree that Long Lake, located beside the Quinsam Coal Mine, has unusually high levels of arsenic. But getting the scientists to agree on how and why the levels are so high, and the potential damage it causes organisms, is a question that may never be adequately answered. “As far as I’m concerned, the results are as good as you’re going to get,” Dr. Bill Cullen told members of the mine’s environmental technical review committee. Cullen, professor emeritus of chemistry at the University of British Columbia, is also an active member of the Canadian Water Network. During Monday’s meeting at the Enterprise Centre, he presented his study
findings that examined levels of arsenic, magnesium, iron and other elements found in Long Lake. As well, he studied the survival rate of freshwater mussels and how the lake water affects another species in a laboratory: mud shrimp. While mud shrimp are not found in Long Lake, they are a good indicator species to determine the bioavailabilty of arsenic. What Cullen found was that the lake’s water was “acutely toxic” to the shrimp. And that led to the first contentious bout between Cullen and Barbara Wernick, a senior environmental scientist with Golder Associates which also studied arsenic levels in the lake and how it affects certain species that live in and around the lake. Cullen was the first to lash out, claiming the Golder report prepared for the mine is “pandering” and one of the worst he’s ever seen. “I don’t think the mine should have accepted it,” stated Cullen, who added that
he believes the report’s conclusions are erroneous and misleading. Of course that prompted a response from Wer nick who wondered aloud why Cullen chose to study something outside of the lake, that doesn’t actually live in the lake. “I think the way you are characterizing the report is misleading,” she fired back. She pointed out the Golder report looked at midge larvae that does live in the lake and found no toxicity among the species. As for freshwater mussels, they are found in the streams leading in and out of Long Lake, as well as in the surrounding lakes, but they haven’t been found in Long Lake, despite the best efforts of volunteers from the Campbell River Environmental Council to find them. So, what Cullen did was take mussels from sur rounding lakes, place them in cages in about eight feet of water, and waited. Unfortunately, some of the cages “went missing.” So other cages of
mussels were hidden in strategic locations around the lake. When Cullen returned, he found that a percentage of the mussels had died, while no mussels died that had been placed in nearby Lower Quinsam Lake. A g a i n , We r n i c k questioned the methodology and said the deaths could be due to arsenic or something else, which prompted Cullen to quip, “Whose side are you on?” Wernick responded that while she is working for the Quinsam mine, she is a scientist who is always looking for answers. “We’ re trying to make sense of a bunch of conflicting data,” she said. So, the question remains: Is the high level of arsenic due, wholly or in part, to the coal mining operations or is naturally occurring? Bruce Mattson is a consultant for Lorax Environmental which conducted a groundwater study for the mine. He believes that groundwater, moving through the underground layer of Dunsmuir sandstone –
which does contain high levels of arsenic – is responsible for the “arsenic loading” and the high levels in the lake are not “mine influenced.” However, he also a ck n ow l e d g e d t h e “infamous Long Lake seep” where groundwater may be moving through a mined coal seam. This could also be carrying a higher concentration of arsenic into the lake. So, while many questions remain, Cullen pointed out there’s no more public money to conduct further studies on behalf of the Canadian Water Network. Meanwhile, Quinsam is preparing to open a new mine, known as “7 South,” which may have to go through a federal environmental assessment, pending a review from Fisheries and Oceans Canada. Last month the province granted Quinsam a permit amendment, allowing the company to begin work on expanding its operation. paulr@campbellrivermirror.com

Pinks: Funds come from boat ramp fees Continued from A5 ing Feb. 21. “The fish can’t wait. “We do it so in August there’s fish for the city to fish off the fishing pier.” The $4,000 will offset funds that have not yet been received from the Campbell River Indian Band, which collects
the boat launching fees. The city receives $1 of every $10 collected. Coun. Mary Storry questioned whether the money was a loan, and would come back to the city. Jakeway said the city would be re-imbursed once the boat ramp fees are collected.
Coun. Claire Moglove said she was hesitant to approve anything that could be perceived as a loan. “I don’t think I’ve been on council when we’ve ever given a loan and I don’t want to set a precedent,” she said. “I don’t think we’re in the loan business.”
Andy Laidlaw, city manager, explained the $4,000 would be set up as an accounts receivable in the 2012 budget. In the end, council approved the allocation of the $4,000 to support the project. The funds will be taken from the gaming reserve.

Pole plant owner says he’s done all he can do to mitigate noise KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
T he owner of a noisy, controversial pole peeler plant on Duncan Bay Road has no immediate plans to implement sound reduction measurements recommended by a sound consultant as he said the company has already done enough. The city determined last month that the plant violates the public nuisance bylaw and requested the owner, Norther n Pressure Treated Wood Ltd, hire an independent consultant. A report, conducted by BKL Consultants, came back Feb. 24 with four different options to reduce noise emissions. But Mike McCollough, president of Norther n Pressure Treated Wood, said the company has already gone above and beyond by insulating the building that encloses the debarker, which nearby neighbours say emits a high-pitch screech as it peels the logs. “The vast majority of debarking plants in the world are not under an insulated building as is our operation (at 5301) Duncan Bay Road which has a heavy industrial zoning,” McCollough said in a letter to the city. “We trust that after receiving the attached report the City of Campbell River will agree that the financial burden already imposed by the City of Campbell

River, by asking for a noise level report, will be sufficient.” The report suggests reducing the size of the openings on the debarker where the logs are fed in and out. It also suggests enclosing those openings with tunnels which should be covered with a flexible rubber or vinyl curtain. “It is recommended that the in-feed tunnel extend by at least four to five metres from the existing in-feed opening,” said Eric de Santis of BKL Consultants in the report. “Exterior walls of the tunnels need not consist of a cavity wall as was constructed in the existing building housing the peeler.” The report also said the owner should line the interior walls and roofs of the building with 50 millimetre rigid duct liner. The report is quick to point out that despite those recommendations, nearby neighbours will likely still

hear the noise. “We expect a 15-20 dBA (decibel) reduction in peeler noise with the proper implementation,” de Santis said. “It is noted here, that while a significant reduction in peeler noise is achievable with the above recommendations, peeler noise may still be audible to those in the nearby community.” McCollough said it would not be in the best interest of the city to demand his company implement any of the sound consultant’s recommendations. “If further measures to abate the noise levels are requested by the City of Campbell River it will definitely scare all existing businesses already operating in the City of Campbell River and it will chase away any potential investors looking to set up in the region,” he said. The sound consultants measured the noise at the plant at six different locations surrounding the pole peeler plant. The on-site measurement was performed 34 metres from where the log is fed into the debarker, which yielded a two-hour measurement of 78 dBA (decibels), the equivalent of a busy street at curb side, or being inside a car going 50 kilometres per hour with the windows opened. In the nearby Blue Spruce Home Park, where residents have complained the sound
from the debarker has destroyed their quality of life, the sound was measured at 54 decibles, the equivalent of an urban residential neighbourhood away from main roads, or if inside, a noisy business office. The typical effect of noise at that level is satisfactory speech and possible communication, according to the consultant’s report.
Residents living near the plant have flooded City Hall with complaints about the level of noise coming from the peeler since it began operating Jan. 23. “It’s insane, it’s humanly insane to have to listen to this noise,” said Connie Cawley, who lives across from the plant. “You can’t escape it. It’s driving people crazy.”

Our View
No winners in education dispute The full-scale strike this week by B.C. teachers was inevitable. After essentially working to rule for months while the government dug in its heels on its “net zero” wage freeze mandate, tensions We say: Can’t see finally reached the boiling point. And the teachers were walking the how the wounds sidewalks on a cold, rainy Monday from this dispute morning instead of imparting the Three Rs in warm, dry classrooms. will be healed Working parents, accustomed to the workaday routine of carting their kids off to school while they went to their jobs, were left scrambling for alternative care and activities
to keep them occupied. That the labour dispute was allowed to reach this stage is a gamble by both sides. The BC Teachers Federation says the strategy it had been employing since the beginning of the school year created little disruption on learning or the daily routines of schoolkids and their families while still allowing its 41,000 members to make their point. By escalating their job action to a province-wide walkout, teachers are hoping they’ll be able to drive home their stand that years of government cutbacks to education funding have strangled their ability to educate effectively. The government, by introducing legislation that would impose its own mediator to settle the dispute once and for all and force the
teachers back to their desks, is gambling the voting public is fed up with the teachers. Letting the teachers cool their heels outside for a few days, causing great disruption to students and their parents, may only feed that impression. While most high-stakes gambits have a winner and loser, this one only has losers. Students will lose three valuable days of learning. Parents will lose sleep, and likely a few bucks, organizing alternative care. Teachers will lose income and risk losing support. The government risks losing understanding for its hard-line stance. It’s difficult to see how the wounds from this fractious dispute will be healed. – Black Press
Letters
You want my support? As a socially compassionate individual I want very much to support the current BC Teachers Federation job action. Unfortunately I find it difficult to do so due to the activities of their pension fund. As I understand it, the BC teachers pension fund is a major shareholder of TimberWest. This is a company notorious for breaking the social contract, closing mills, mothballing communities and squeezing contractors to bankruptcy. To say nothing of their logging practices: clearcutting to the very edge of our oldest provincial park and decimating old-growth on their private lands. Adding insult to injury, much of this timber is exported as raw logs to make disposable concrete forms in China thereby fuelling unchecked-growth and accelerating climate change. If the BC Teachers want my support in this current strike they should instruct their pension fund to demand TimberWest change their ways and conduct their harvesting activities in a far more sustainable manner: ending the cutting of old-growth, respecting the integrity of our parks and with greater regard for the communities within which they operate. I trust the hypocrisy of striking on behalf of our children’s education and future, all-the-while liquidating the forests and trashing the planet these children will inherit, to ensure a comfortable retirement, is not lost on BCTF members. Philip Stone Quadra Island
BC Teachers Federation indoctrinating our kids
Tom Fletcher B.C. Views
Perhaps the single most ridiculous stunt in the lead-up to this week’s teachers’ strike was pulled at an elementary school here in the capital. A teacher gave her Grade 1 class an assignment for anti-bullying day: take crayons in hand and write to Education Minister George Abbott, demanding he stop bullying their teacher and address class size and composition. This North Korea-style political indoctrination of six-yearolds was a mistake, according to the local teachers’ union boss. Is this self-serving abuse of teacher authority an isolated incident? My experience as a parent and journalist suggests it is not, and recent events support that. By Friday, students across B.C. were skipping class in
solidarity with their teachers, led by budding campus radicals suddenly conversant with B.C. Teachers’ Federation talking points about “Bill 22.” This left-wing groupthink pervades the education system from public schools through taxpayer-supported colleges and universities. After a couple of generations of this indoctrination, almost everyone “knows” that gover nment under-funding is at the heart of every school problem, standardized testing is an assault on the fragile self-esteem of students, and reducing class size is the top priority for improving educational outcomes. All of this is glaringly false union propaganda, reinforced in classroom “current affairs” discussions. Don’t
believe me? Google “Study: Class size doesn’t matter” for the latest on a growing stack of scientific evidence that shows you and your children are being force-fed lies. B.C. Teachers’ Federation president Susan Lambert announced the strike on live TV with a remarkable string of rhetoric about the “Orwellian” legislation that will soon put an end to this teacher tantrum. The government needs to negotiate “clearly, rationally and respectfully,” said the boss of union representatives who have spent the last year insulting the taxpayers’ negotiators by telling them to “go back to your masters” and get a couple of billion more. Clearly? It was the BCTF that announced its work-to-rule plan for
the fall and then took the summer off. It was the BCTF that didn’t even present its outrageous 16-per-cent wage demand until January, a full 10 months after formal negotiations began. Orwellian? At a sparsely attended rally on the legislature lawn, local teachers’ unions marched out their most strident tame trustee to demand the government “come to the table” with billions. One teacher held up a large sign adorned with three mug shots: Premier Christy Clark, ex-premier Gordon Campbell and Benito Mussolini, to illustrate a multiple-choice question about “fascism.” This teacher should be assigned to write an essay about the Italian dictator’s formative years, and his schooling in particular.

No jail for trio after brutal assault and robbery of drug dealer PAUL RUDAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Three young men who viciously assaulted and robbed a Gold River drug dealer wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be going to jail. I n s t e a d , Yu s a k u Nakamura and Shane Vincent, both 21, were each sentenced to 500 hours community service and two years probation. A Young Offender, who cannot be named, was also convicted in the case. â&#x20AC;&#x153;T his is a very tragic case involving a vicious, unprovoked assault,â&#x20AC;? wrote B.C. Supreme Court Justice Selwyn Romilly, in a decision handed down Friday in Campbell River. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The victim suffered significant injuriesâ&#x20AC;Śhe will carry the physical and psychological scars from the attack with him for many years to come.â&#x20AC;? The victim, referred to in the case by the initials J.H.B., was known to sell marijuana in the Village of Gold River, located near the west coast of Vancouver Island. On Jan. 8, 2009, Vincent, Nakamura,

THEY SAID IT: â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a very tragic case involving a vicious, unprovoked assault.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Justice Selwyn Romilly
both 18 at the time and attending high school, along with another young man, planned to rob J.H.B. of his cash and marijuana. Vincent called J.H.B. and arranged to buy pot from him at the Aquatic Centre in Gold River. When the trio arrived, Nakamura stabbed J.H.B. in the face and stomach, while the other young man clubbed him with a baseball ban. Vincent apparently fled the scene before the assault occurred. The victim suffered serious injuries and nearly died. He was bleeding profusely and was transported to Campbell River Hospital where he received 12 litres of saline solution in order to keep
his blood pressure up. During surgery, doctors drained approximately three litres of blood from his abdomen and J.H.B. required eight litres of blood during his week in hospital. The three culprits were later arrested. The youngest received six months of â&#x20AC;&#x153;intensive supervision and supportâ&#x20AC;? along with 18 months probation. At trial, Nakamura was found guilty of agg ravated assault and assault with intent to commit robbery. Vincent also pleaded guilty to the latter charge after the judge ruled that statements he made were admissible at trial. At Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sentencing hearing, Crown prosecutor John Boccabella asked the judge to impose a four-year jail sentence on Nakamura and a three-year sentence on Vincent. However, in the aftermath of the robbery, both young men have taken positive steps, which the judge noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;ŚI am dealing with two youthful first
offenders who have shown sincere remorse for their actions,â&#x20AC;? wrote Justice Romilly. According to defence lawyer James Hormoth, Vincent moved away from Gold River due to the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reaction to the crime. He now lives in the Lower Mainland, works full-time and cares for his mother wh o s u f f e r s f ro m schizophrenia. Nakamura is also working full-time in Campbell River at a fast food restaurant and was acknowledged as a good worker by his boss. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the case of Vincent, sending him to jail means the removal of support for his ailing mother,â&#x20AC;? the judge wrote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the case of of Nakamura, he has obtained gainful employment, and his employer and his friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother, with whom he is staying, speak highly of him.â&#x20AC;? The judge then sentenced both men to 500 hours community service and two years probation. In addition, they are to have no con-

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 7, 2012 | CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR |
POLICE BEAT River Hospital for treatment. The female suspect had fled the scene before police arrived. RCMP say the females know each other and are looking for any information that will assist them in the investigation. The last incident occurred Sunday, around 1 p.m., in the 600 block of 7th Ave. A male was found in a residence suffering from a stab wound to his lower back. He was taken to hospital and treated for a non-life threatening injury. The female suspect was found in a nearby residence and knows the victim. She was arrested and is facing a charge of aggravated assault.
Wrong-way driver causes crash A 44-year-old woman is facing drunk driving
charges after causing an accident on March 1. Police say the woman was heading the wrong way on Tamarac St., a one-way road, when she collided with a van near the intersection at 16th Ave. The accident occurred around 1:30 a.m. The female suspect blew twice the legal limit and was arrested. Her vehicle was also impounded.
Liquor stolen from business On Feb. 27, at 7 a.m., police responded to a call of an insecure business in the 1400 block of Dogwood St. Upon arrival officers the front glass door broken. It appears bottles of liquor were taken. The Forensic Identification Section attended and examined the scene. The matter
remains under investigation.
Banned driver arrested again A man well known to police is free on bail after being arrested again for driving while prohibited. The man was spotted on Feb. 29, at about 4 p.m., driving on Erickson Rd. This was the second time he’s been arrested for driving while prohibited.
Snow pile accident Snow plowed into the middle of the road contributed to a two-vehicle accident on March 1. It was around 8 a.m., when a
25-year-old woman was heading north on Dogwood St. in a Dodge pickup. That’s when she hit the snow pile in the middle of the road, lost control of the truck, crossed the centre line and collided head-on with a Honda Prelude, driven by a 48-year-old man. The man was taken to hospital for treatment of minor injuries.

For Curt hockey was a passion, both playing and coaching, and he shared this love of the game with his family and friends. This grit and determination and pushing to the max in all areas of his life drew the admiration of those who knew him. He truly knew a day well lived today made a good memory for tomorrow.

Ministry of Environment investigating felled eagle nest tree The City of Campbell River is working with the provincial conservation office and the Ministry of Environment to investigate the felling of an active bald eagle nest tree on the morning of Feb. 27. The Douglas fir tree, which was registered in the provincial nest tree data base and mapped in the SOCP as an environmentallysensitive development permit area, was cut down in a residential area located on the ridge south of Rockland Road in Camp-
bell River. City staff attended and photographed the site, and neighbours who witnessed the tree being cut volunteered contact information. The city has sent a letter to the property owner advising that any land disturbance within a 60-metre area around a nest tree requires a city development permit and that only the province can authorize the removal of an eagle nest tree. Since the nest tree was at the crest of an identified risk slope, the
land also falls within the hazardous conditions development permit area as identified in the Sustainable Official Community Plan. The letter also noted that the city is assisting the Conservation Officer Service in their investigation. Section 34 of the Provincial Wildlife Act provides year-round protection for bald eagle nests. The City of Campbell River’’s development permit area requires that a 60-metre naturallyvegetated buffer must

be maintained around eagle nest trees, measured as a radius from the base of the nest tree. If the 60-metre buf fer cannot be achieved either due to lot size or location of the tree, the distance may be altered if the land owner supplies a report from a Qualified Environmental Professional with experience in raptor assessments. There are an estimated, 25 bald eagle breeding territories within the City of Campbell River. According to the
province’s Wildlife Tree Stewardship (WiTS) program, the primary constraints to bald eagle nesting success are food supply, health of the eagles, availability of nesting and perch trees and disturbance by human activity. Preventing the loss of nesting and perching trees is a key component in assuring the long-term viability of the eagle population. In a WiTS 2010 report, in the Willow Point area of Campbell River, all the known nest
trees in two nesting territories have been cut down. The report also says between 1990 and 1999 from Qualicum Beach to Campbell River, 17 of 253 known nest trees were lost, and in the same areas. Between 2000 and 2009, a further 33 nest trees were lost. Bald eagles build large nests, often two metres across and weighing more than 500 kg. These huge weighty nests can only be supported by the largest trees in the area, in past most com-
monly veteran Douglas fir, often with a breastheight diameter of one to two metres. The preferred location of these trees is near the shore with commanding views of the ocean, and eagle pairs defend a nesting territory of approximately one kilometre of coastline. More information, including guidelines for behaviour in the vicinity of eagle nests may be found in a provincial Develop with Care publication available from WITS at www.wildlifetree.org

directed city staff to prepare an application to host the games in 2016, which are scheduled for Feb. 25-28. The BC Games Society, which oversees summer and winter games every two years in even numbered calendar years, sent a letter to the city on Feb. 1 inviting the city to submit a bid. The city had a choice of bidding on either the summer or winter games in 2016 or either of the two games in 2018. “The method to my madness is the sooner the better,” Adams said. “Perhaps if we’re not successful this time, we could apply and be successful in 2018.” The BC Games Society said the games have the potential to provide a boost to the local economy. “Past hosting cities have spoken about the positive impact the games have provided them, the increase

in community spirit, and the opportunity for their residents to rally around a proactive opportunity,” said Cathy Priestner Allinger, chair of the games society, in a letter to council. “Also mentioned are the economics of the BC Games – recent measured spending related to games hosting ranges from $1.8 million for a BC Winter Games, to $2.6 million for the summer event. The majority of this spending is by family and friends attending the games. With sport tourism on the rise, the BC Winter and BC Summer Games are a

perfect opportunity to highlight your city’s facilities, sport culture, and community pride.” Campbell River is no stranger to the BC Winter Games; the city hosted the event in 1997. “I know Campbell R ive r p rev i o u s ly hosted the Winter Games and it was a tremendous success,” Adams said. “The 1997 Winter Games were absolutely outstanding. So I figured we’d do it again.” He said his rationale for not lobbying for the Summer Games is because the city does not have an appropriate-sized track. “The Winter Games we’re able to host entirely,” Adams said. “With the Summer Games we would need to co-host with the Comox Valley like we did with the Seniors Games.” In its application the city will need to include a list of all
major events it hosted in the past five years; a list of potential facilities for accreditation, dining, opening and closing ceremonies, and a medical clinic; and letters of support from sport, community and other groups. The Winter Games typically involves 2,000 participants of average age between 13-15 years. The BC Games Society provides the host city with $525,000 for the Winter Games but the host community must commit a minimum of $45,000 cash and $50,000 inkind services and facilities for the planning and staging of the games. Campbell River has until Sept. 10, 2012 to submit its bid to host the games and an announcement of host communities will take place in November 2012. Vernon hosted this year’s BC Winter Games while Mission is the host city for the 2014 BC Winter Games. The 2014 BC Summer Games will come to the Island when Nanaimo plays host. The BC Games are a stepping stone for young athletes to national and international competitions and to multisport competitions like the Canada Games and the Olympic or Paralympic Games.

Teacher strike postpones Campbell River Band high school fundraiser KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
A fundraiser to help send high school students to Guatemala to do humanitarian work is being impacted by the teachers’ strike. T he joint Carihi and Timberline International Co-op class was scheduled to hold Grunt Work for Guatemala – an auction for household chores – yesterday but the date has been changed to March 13.
“Due to our strike action, I think it prudent to postpone this event until the following week,” said Barb Izard, Inter national Co-op teacher. Students will team up to perform a minimum of four hours of grunt work for the community such as cleaning out garages, digging ditches, raking lawns, turning over gardens, housework and other household tasks. The students will charge $20 per hour and
all work will be supervised. The auction to bid on the chores and students has been rescheduled for Tues., March 13 in the Timberline cafeteria at 6 p.m. Snacks and refreshments will be provided. The chores will be completed by the students on either Sat., March 17 or Sun., March 18 depending on which date works best for the bidder. “I know this may inconvenience some
people but as I can not attend the March 6 event (due to strike action), perhaps best all around,” Izard said. “Thanks for understanding.” The co-op class will be in Guatemala July 1-15 to build two houses. The students will also help teach English in the local school and orphanage. The class needs to raise $8,000 in project fees before the end of the school year. Other upcoming fundraisers include:
■ Hoop for Houses – drop in hula hooping for $5 on March 20, 5:30-7 p.m. in the Timberline gym ■ International Co-op a thon – a triathlon made up of a 750-metre sw i m m i n g c o u r s e, a 20-kilometre bike course and a five-kilometre running course. Cost is $20 per person or $50 per team. Takes place March 24 at 10 a.m. starting at Strathcona Gardens.

reaches out Once the staff of the Campbell River Indian Band heard news last Friday of the impending teacher strike it rallied as a group to plan alternative activities to support the students and their parents for the three-day strike, March 5–7. The staff thought about working parents. No school for their children would affect their daily schedules and create stress for the families. Rapidly, the Campbell River Band staff put together community prog rams in the Thunderbird Hall and Gengenlilas classroom building for the primary, elementary and middle school ages.

Big-hearted music Two Canadian groups which will light up the folk music circuit with their buoyant dispositions and jubilant personalities, appear at the Tidemark Theatre on Thursday in a double bill event. Sassy and quirky trio The Good Lovelies and happy-go-lucky duo The Human Statues promise an infectiously cheerful night of music with their whimsical brands of country, jazz, and rockinfused folk. The Human Statues, comprised of Jeff Bryant and Zach Stevenson, are on a mission to spread jubilation across the nation. Whether it’s playing high-energy band shows or intimate acoustic performances in theatres across the country, Bryant and Stevenson are committed to connecting with people through humour, authenticity, en ergetic pop sensibility, and an absolute love of music. Far from static on stage, the Human Statues’ individual backgrounds in theatre bring an added performance element that consistently wins over audiences. While their songs predominantly feature simple, upbeat sentiments, upon further scrutiny you’ll be sure to find deeper ground, honesty, and bursting personality. Funny and upbeat,
Actors rehearse a scene from Shoreline Musical Theatre Society’s production of Come Fly With Me.
High-flying production
The Human Statues, an energetic upbeat duo perform in a double bill event with the Good Lovelies at the Tidemark Theatre tonight.
with just a pinch of sass, the Good Lovelies boast impressively spot-on ‘40s inspired vocal melodies and glorious bouncing lines on banjo, guitar, mandolin, and glockenspiel. T h e ch a r i s m at i c group described by the Globe and Mail as “all sun, serotonin, and retro-radio”, leaven life with a few laughs in their catchy lyrics, witty on-stage banter, and effervescent attitude.
City and country, highway and home, wistful and cheeky, the Good Lovelies’ third full-length album, Let the Rain Fall, showcases their sense of humour and selfassurance in songs like Made for Rain, Mrs. T, Best I Know, and Kiss Me in the Kitchen. While the overarching theme of the album is that of tension between comforts of home and the lure of the troubadour life, broad grins are never
far apart. In 2010, this album received a Juno for Ro o t s / T r a d i t i o n a l Album of the Year. Don’t miss your chance to see the Double Bill Event at the Tidemark Theatre tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $13 for adults and $5 for students and are available at the Tidemark Ticket Centre from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., or Chargeby-Phone at (250) 287PINK (7465) or 1 (800) 994-0555.
Shoreline Musical Theatre Society’s upcoming production, Come Fly With Us, is sure to provide something for everyone. The performance features a review of classic numbers, largely from musicals, that were popular in the sixties and early seventies. Shoreline is taking a creative approach to this production, which will feature video screens and broadcasted images, and a minimal set. “ We ’ l l b e u s i n g three or four projectors and large pieces of fabric hanging in the background,” said director/choreographer Heather Gordon Murphy. Images will be projected on to the fabric, the actors, and the walls around the stage. Jacquie Gordon has
7x3
PACIFIC COASTAL PROCESS
been assisting Gordon Murphy with the costumes. “Most of the numbers are set in the 60’s,” said Gordon. “And each number has its own costumes. There will be lots of costume changes.” Many of the costumes are vintage. Costumes pieces from previous Shoreline productions are also being used, and new pieces are being created. There are a range of styles – from hippy to housewife. Fo r e x a m p l e, i n the number Comedy Tonight! from A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, the cast will be in black with white toga tops. The women will be wearing gold fascinators and the men will be wearing gold wreaths. Another challenging number to costume is
Come Fly with Me. Stewardess costumes are being made for the women in the number, including hats. Fortunately, Victor Jordan, the solo singer in the number, came with a pilot’s outfit from when he served in the military. The audience will step back in time through the retro boutiques that will be set up in the theatre lobby. Audience members coming to the opening night performance (or any performance) are encouraged to dress in the ’60s style. The show runs at the Tidemark Theatre March 15, 16, and 17 at 8 p.m., with a matinee performance on March 17 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $25, and available at the Tidemark Theatre box office, (250) 287-7465.

Volunteers to help victims needed more than ever PAUL RUDAN
CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
They hand out white plush bears to children who’ve been traumatized. Others, who need warmth and comfort, are given handmade quilts. T hese seem like minor things in the wake of horrific accidents, domestic violence and so many other tragedies, but these little things do make a difference, says Cheryl Kwaksistala. “They provide comfort when people really
need it,” says the mana g er of Campbell River RCMP Victim Services. Entering its 25th year, victim services is needed more than ever. Last year, Kwaksistala and Shelly Olney, the org anization’s two employees, dealt with 563 clients, of whom more than 200 still require ongoing assistance. “Some of the clients date back to 2009,” says Kwaksistala. “We work together with other org anizations and try to cobble together
safety nets.” An over-abundance of clients is the reason victim services is currently recruiting volunteers. Members of Altrusa International provide the toy bears and the Quilter’s Guild makes the blankets, but victim services needs “warm bodies” to help provide comfort to those in need. “Thank goodness they’re here to help,” says RCMP Staff Sgt. Troy Beaure gard. “Sometimes there’s only so much a burly police officer can do
and when (victim services) shows up at the scene, it really is a big help.” Kw a k s i s t a l a a n d Olney are on call 24/7 because emergencies typically occur outside the normal 9-5 business hours. “We provide the link between the victim and police,” says Kwaksistala. “We deal with sudden deaths, motor vehicle accidents, break and enters, homicides – we run the gamut and there doesn’t have to be a crime committed for us to be called.
“There are a lot of issues with elders and people who suffer from Alzheimer’s…we’ve also dealt with a lot of suicides in the community and that can be very difficult.” Vi c t i m s e r v i c e s provides short-term emotional and physical support, they keep victims updated on the investigation and court dates, and they provide resources or referrals to other social agencies. Kw a k s i s t a l a a n d Olney are well-trained to deal with grief, but

it’s always gratifying to see people pull through. “You see the strength of people and their resilience in the face of unspeakable trag-

The seventh annual Canadian Cue Sport Association Lucasi 8/9 Ball B.C. Championships were held Feb. 15-19 at the beautiful Lakeside Resort & Casino in Penticton. For the second year, players from the Campbell River League out of Pier Street Billiards teamed up with the Comox Valley Pool League and sent 30 players to compete in men’s teams, ladies teams, Scotch Doubles, women’s and men’s singles events as well as 9-ball. Day one of the competition was 9-ball and this year there were six area entries in this division. Competition was fierce and the closest to the top was Jeremy Davis finishing in tenth, said CVPL organizer Rose Kantor. Day two and three featured the singles event and there was some strong competition in all the men`s brackets. In the C Qualifing Brackets Greg Shelvey and Jim Brown finished third and fourth and both were moved up to the B Bracket and made it one spot from the money. In the C Bracket Campbell River players PJ Drake and Ed Sharky played a great match and Drake took Sharky out on the hill and brought home third place. Kantor said there was lots of action in both the A and B Bracket for the ladies. Last year’s B Bracket champion Christie Tipper from Campbell River played in the A Bracket this year and finished fourth. Deb Williams finished second in the qualifying bracket which moved her up to the A Bracket where she finished fifth. In the B Bracket the last two ladies from the Valley were shooting it out for third place. Sandra Shelvey and Kantor`s match went to the hill for both ladies and Shelvey brought home the thirdplace trophy. Day four was the start of team events and the Avalanche boys finished second in the C Qualifying Bracket and then moved up to the B Bracket where they finished ninth. The Sunnydale Slidders stayed in the C Bracket and were playing off on Sunday for third spot. “So close,” said Kantor. “The boys missed it by one game!” In the ladies division the Pier Street Ladies and Comox Valley Pool League players brought home second place.

Blizzard weathered in Island Cup playdown It all came down to a goal post. After a tremendous p e r f o r m a n c e, t h e Campbell River U-14 Blizzard lost in a shootout on Saturday to Prospect Lake in Victoria. With the shootout tied at 4-4 after five shots each, the Prospect Lake keeper made a fantastic dive to get his fingertips on the Blizzard’s well-placed sixth shot and knock the ball to the goal post and out. That save set the stage for Prospect Lake’s sixth shooter, who slotted his shot just inside the goal post and past the sprawling Blizzard keeper for the victory. With their win Prospect Lake has earned the one spot for an Island team in the Provincial Championships. In the first half of the match, the Blizzard struggled to settle in to their game as they battled against a strong Prospect Lake side that had the wind at their backs. It took a Prospect Lake shot off
the post and corner kick off the cross bar to wake the Blizzard up and get them into the game. Still, a large part of the first half was played in the Blizzard’s end, and if not for several brilliant saves by goal keeper Liam Stevens and the outstanding work of Marcus Savery, Drew Savery, Kamiya Iwamoto, and Max BawksSmith on the back line, the game would have been lost early in the contest. As the game progressed the Blizzard showed more and more composure, and began to press back with some counter attacks led by Dace Harle, Ayden Costain and Dawson Jordan in the mid-field. However, the Blizzard surrendered a goal late in the first half when a Prospect Lake forward snuck through the Blizzard’s defensive line to knock in a strong punt delivered by the Prospect Lake goal keeper. With the wind at their backs, a very

determined Blizzard side started the second half with a great sense of urgency. While the Blizzard did manage some attempts on goal, the Prospect Lake back line was very stingy
and did not allow many quality chances. Meanwhile, with the Blizzard pressing hard, Prospect Lake pushed back with a number of strong counter attacks. When Prospect Lake
did score again midway through the second half, it appeared that the Blizzard just weren’t up for the challenge. To their credit, Campbell River did not give up but dug deep

ILLEGAL ILLEGAL DUMPING DUMPING Someone dumped this love seat in the forest right near Willow Creek. Obviously they don't love it anymore. Someone out there feels it is okay to discard furniture in nature. No, the bears, deer and cougars don't need a love seat in their front room! The chemicals in the materials are seeping into the ground which is right above a fish bearing creek. Those fish are also the same ones on your dinner plate. Here's hoping the owner of the couch grows a conscience and removes it.

redirect Harle’s second perfect cross into the depths of the Prospect Lake net. After this second Blizzard goal the Prospect Lake side redoubled their efforts for the final ten minutes of the game, but to no avail. The defensive efforts of the Campbell River side, together with the threat of counter-attack by the Blizzard’s very speedy Jack Patterson, stymied all attempts by Prospect Lake. Twenty minutes of overtime saw both sides getting some chances, but no results. So, with the game tied at 2-2, the teams entered into the shoot out, which Prospect Lake won 5-4. The Blizzard are to be commended for a very classy performance in the game. They represented their community and their club very well in their efforts, and hope to be successful in their Island Cup final match on May 12 in Nanaimo. The Blizzard would also like to thank their sponsor, Griegg Seafoods.

and applied pressure. That pressure resulted in some undisciplined play by the Prospect Lake side, and free kicks awarded to the Blizzard. At this point in the game, centre midfielder Harle and the Blizzard’s centre back, Drew Savery, got down to business. With fifteen minutes remaining, the Blizzard were awarded a free kick. While Harle and his magical left foot curled a lovely ball into the middle of the Prospect Lake penalty area, Drew Savery made a beautifully timed run and volleyed Harle’s cross past the Prospect Lake keeper. With that goal to buoy their spirits, the Blizzard doggedly attacked a stunned Prospect Lake side, and were again awarded a free kick. And, again, Harle and Drew Savery put on a show for a very appreciative Campbell River contingent of parent fans. On this second free kick Drew Savery chose to use his head to
