Family tries to heal following mysterious death Beth Lagis, 33, was found dead south of Campbell River on March 9 PAUL RUDAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Every death has a big impact on the tiny and isolated First Nations community of Kingcome Inlet.

The death of Elizabeth (Beth) Lagis is no exception. The 33-yearold mother from Kingcome was found dead, just south of Campbell River on the morning of March 9. According to RCMP, her body was found by a passing motorist, just off the southbound lane of the Inland Highway, 1.5 kilometres south of Hamm Road. For now, the cause of the death

is unknown after an autopsy proved inconclusive and police are saying little about the case. The B.C. Coroner’s office is still investigating the cause of death, and the results could take some time. In the meantime, the family is still trying to come to terms with her death. “It’s unbelievable. I still can’t believe she’s gone,” said her older

brother Percy, during a phone interview Wednesday. “It’s hard to lose anyone here. It affects the whole community.” Percy said his sister was a valued member of Kingcome Inlet, located on the Central Coast, which has a population of about 100 people. Lagis worked part-time at the village council office, helped Continued on A3

Josh Coblenz’ goal was golden. The forward scored in overtime Wednesday giving the Campbell River Tyees a 2-1 victory over Burnaby Winter Club and the gold medal at the B.C. Bantam Tier 2 championships in Trail. “It was the second shift in OT, there was a loose puck, Josh picked it up, got a step on his man, fired a shot and went off the post and in – unreal!” said head coach Peter Martin, trying to be heard over the sound of hooting and cheering Tyees. Speaking by cell phone just after the game, Martin said it was a back-and-forth contest, but there was no score heading into the third period. Martin said his team never lost their cool or their heads. For the story see Page A30

Historic First Nations artifact returned to B.C. tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a treasure last touched by one of her ancestors more than 200 years ago. The small, handcarved ceremonial club was a gift to English Captain James Cook when he sailed into Nootka Sound in 1778. On Tuesday, the valuable historic relic came home to British Columbia when it was donated to the UBC Museum of Anthropology by Canadian philanthropist Michael Audain. On hand for the announcement was Margarita James, a member of the Mowachaht-Muchalaht First Nation and president of the Land of Maquinna Cultural Society, who was honoured to hold the club. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite a spectacular piece,â&#x20AC;? she said Wednesday after

arriving back home in Gold River. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What a wonderful person to honour our history and to put the money into it!â&#x20AC;? Audain, through the Audain Foundation for the Visual Arts, has donated more than $20-million in art and historic objects to various Canadian galleries and museums. And has a special affinity for historic First Nations work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This ceremonial club has immense historical and cultural value. I am delighted to play a part in its return to Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s west coast,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While certain Nuuchah-nulth objects collected by Cook exist in museums abroad â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for example, in London, Berlin, and Vienna â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this is the first and only in Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With our foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s donation, I hope to encourage the repatriation of other Northwest Coast

art works to public museums and cultural centres in British Columbia.â&#x20AC;? Valued at $1.2 million, the club was the last privately held object from Captain Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collection.

It was bought from a dealer in New York and came with a provence, showing the past 11 owners back to Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s widow, Elizabeth Cook. According to the museum, the club was

carved by an aboriginal Northwest Coast artist as early as the mid-1700s, placing it within the last generation of traditional objects created before European contact. Considered the old-

est known and most finely executed club of this style, it is carved from yew wood in the shape of a hand holding a sphere. It may have been both a ceremonial symbol of its ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s high rank and a functional tool or weapon. On Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final voyage, his third to the Pacific, the explorer sailed the HMS Resolution to Hawaii (1776â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 1777) and become the first European to set foot on the Northwest Coast when he arrived at B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nootka Sound on March 28, 1778. After sailing north in search of the Northwest Passage, Cook returned to Hawaii, where he was killed in 1779. Like much of Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal collection, the club found its way from his family into the private Leverian Museum in London, where it was sold in 1806, passing through several private collec-

part of the community and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to really miss her.â&#x20AC;? The family believes someone knows what happened to her, but the case remains a mystery. Lagis ar rived in

Campbell River for medical appointments on March 6-7. She arrived for the appointment the first day, but never showed up for the second. On the night of March 6, she called

family back in Kingcome from her room at the Town Centre Inn, and that was the last time they ever heard from her. Police are trying to find out what she did between 10:30 p.m. on

According to James, the MowachahtMuchalaht First Nation, one of 15 nations comprising the Nuu-chah-nulth people, greeted and hosted Captain James Cook in 1778 at Yuquot (Friendly Cove) in Nootka Sound. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What a wonderful gift for Canada, to bring back our history,â&#x20AC;? said James. She is hopeful the club can one day come back to Yuquot. The goal is to build an interpretive centre so that treasures can be returned, such as the club, ceremonial masks and the Friendly Cove whaling shrine which is on display at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to share our history with the world,â&#x20AC;?

Scrapping of Elk Falls Mill approved ALISTAIR TAYLOR CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

DON DANIELS/THE MIRROR

They did it! Denise Mitchell, Kim Elmsley, Kin Folwer and Christina Vokey celebrate the Tidemark 25 Capital Campaign surpassing its goal of raising $50,000. They actually raised $54,464 which will acquire matching grants to conduct some upgrades.

Catalyst secured cour t approval to scrap some of the equipment at the Elk Falls pulp mill on Wednesday. The company filed an affidavit with the B.C. Supreme Court on March 16 to permit the sale of mill assets after a year-long attempt to auction all major pieces of equipment failed. With the failure of that auction, the company developed a plan to sell the equipment for scrap value and use the proceeds to demolish the nonuseable buildings and infrastructure down to slab level, the affidavit says.

But the company then altered its plan and pursued bids from interested companies to scrap and sell most of the assets of the mill but not demolish the key equipment components or buildings. Schnitzer Steel BC, Inc. was the successful bidder and would begin the work as soon as possible following authorization of the agreement by the BC Supreme Court. That approval came on Wednesday. Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union spokesperson Karen Cooling told the Vancouver Sun that the approval is bad news for Campbell River and the remaining three B.C. mills that Catalyst

continues to operate in Crofton, Powell River and Port Alberni. “It takes away some hope from Campbell River,” she said. “And it raises the potential for all of those mills being shut down and scrapped.” T he company recently reached an agreement with the CEP which represents workers at the three remaining mills. Catalyst was also seeking court approval to sell its remaining mills if a restructuring plan is not approved by creditors. Another option the company has is to sell the company for a value of up to $395 million, which is how much debt is held by creditor, the Sun reported.

Couple left homeless by wind storm get a new home thanks to the generosity of strangers KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A n older couple’s n i g h t m a re h a s a happy ending because of the kindness of strangers. Last Monday Jean and Wayne Bowerman were left homeless after an old Douglas Fir crashed through the RV they were living in at Shelter Bay Resort. Four days later, the couple received an offer that changed their lives. John and Heather Olney came across the Bowermans’ story in Friday’s Mirror and that same day, made a call that would help the Bowermans get back on their feet. Heather Olney reached out to Jean Bower man, and offered her the couple’s 26-foot long Travelaire trailer. Olney said the trailer “was just sitting in the driveway and hadn’t been used in two years”, was still in good shape and came equipped with a microwave, fridge, oven – all the things the Bower mans would need to make it

that other trees could come down, and reliving the accident. It was 6:30 a.m. when Bower man’s RV was destroyed by a tree that crushed the back end of her home. The tree fell into the kitchen where Bowerman’s husband had been standing only seconds before. The trailer was not repairable and the couple had no insurance. O n We d n e s d a y morning, the Bowermans packed up what they could salvage from their old trailer – some food, bedding, clothing, and a cell phone charger – and moved across town to 2100 Court where they were welcomed with open arms. “Sue (King) the manager, gave us a couple

of weeks rent free,” Bowerman said. Similar acts of kindness have been coming in from strangers and friends all week, Bowerman said. “Some people offered us money, a couple of people have offered us trailers and places to stay until we could get set up,” Bowerman said. “It’s been unreal.” Last week, Bowerman said she could not believe how fast the tree had come down and taken her home. This week, Bowerman was overwhelmed to see how quickly things had turned around. “It’s all happened in the blink of an eye. It’s been a roller coaster,” Bowerman said. “There are definitely some heroes.”

One Buck at a Time campaign raises thousands Thrifty Foods President Jim Dores says $84,742 has been raised through the sale of four-pound bags of certified organic Buck Brand Navel Oranges. The money was also

raised through donations from Thrifty Foods customers and staff – including a $20,000 donation from Buck Brand Citrus owner Lisle Babcock – during the four-week

Help Out One Buck at a Time campaign. A portion of the funds will go to the Campbell River Hospital Foundation. “Thrifty Foods has been supporting hospi-

tals in our communities for over 34 years and this year’s campaign raised important funds for local health care programs, equipment and facilities,” says Dores. “Thanks to pur-

chases and donations made by our customers, staff and citrus partner Lisle Babcock, Thrifty Foods was able to share that success with each of our 13 hospital foundation partners.”

Running from February 15 to March 13, the Help Out One Buck at a Time campaign raised over $64,000 through in-store sales as well as customer and staff donations.

Thrifty Foods supports several hospital foundations on the Island with fundraisers like Help Out One Buck at a Time and the annual Pumpkins for Charity campaign.

Our View

Bloy’s downfall an instructive failure The resignation of Burnaby-Lougheed MLA Harry Bloy from the cabinet of Premier Christy Clark might be considered a minor blip in B.C. politics. From time to time, cabinet ministers do something inappropriate enough We say: His story that they should (and usually do) is a microcosm of resign. In Bloy’s case, he shared an e-mail what ails Christy from a reporter with the individual whom the reporter was gathering Clark’s regime information about. The person he shared it with is a substantial donor to the BC Liberals. The bigger story is that Bloy’s resignation is a

microcosm of all that has gone off the rails for the BC Liberals in the year since Clark became premier. It is important to remember that he was the only MLA who supported her leadership bid. Thus, he was rewarded with a cabinet post when she put together her cabinet team, which was mostly holdovers from the Gordon Campbell era. Unfortunately, he was the cabinet minister responsible for Community Living B.C., which had done a terrible job in dealing with many of its clients, mostly adults with physical and mental challenges. Part of what went wrong was started by the Campbell government, but Bloy was not the person to clean up the mess. He was completely

out of his depth and was like a deer caught in the headlights. Clark shuffled him off to a minor portfolio and called in Stephanie Cadieux, a new MLA, to help get to the bottom of the troubles at Community Living B.C. Thus far, there seems to be some positive progress on that front. Now Bloy is gone from cabinet completely, and in what is rare if not unprecedented, Clark has also announced that he won’t run in the next election. Clark’s government has lurched from crisis to crisis in the past year, with very mixed results in getting to the bottom of problems. – Black Press

Letters

Lacrosse mistruths I’m writing this in support of Ann Smiths letter “Council a miserable failure” to clear up mistruths. Not only do I agree and support this letter, I would like to address a couple comments that Mayor (Walter) Jakeway made concerning the lacrosse box. He states that “the outdoor lacrosse box gets almost no use.” I would like to know when he has noticed this? Was it in the winter or was it during school hours? Does he know that our tennis courts, ball fields, outdoor pool, skate park and play grounds get very little use, if any, when it’s blowing, raining and snowing out? It’s called winter. How long has he lived in Beautiful B.C.? I have personally witnessed a group of young teenage boys shovelling snow out of the box so they could have 20 square feet to play on during a nicer winter day. There has been a group of kids out there every Sunday that’s not raining, blowing and or snowing, since January. I can guarantee there would be a lot more kids out more often if there was a roof over it but there isn’t, so be it.....Hello! We live on the Coast of B.C., we take what we Continued on A9

Connecting B.C.’s students with jobs

Tom Fletcher B.C. Views

The noise of the teachers’ strike drowned out debate on the B.C. budget so thoroughly that one of Finance Minister Kevin Falcon’s more controversial ideas only made the news last week. Reporters dubbed it “Welfare Air.” Falcon plans a pilot program to offer social assistance recipients training and airfare if they can line up a job in B.C.’s northern energy boomtowns. Workers are being imported to fill jobs there, while in Metro Vancouver and elsewhere the number of single employable people applying for social assistance is rising. Much of oil and gas work is dirty and dangerous. These days most industrial jobs involve sophisticated

electronics, and the technical skill level required is high. But there are entry-level jobs going begging, and relatively high pay is offered to fill positions in a short-staffed service sector in the Peace region. NDP MLA Carole James, no stranger to northern B.C., dismissed Falcon’s plan as a stunt. There are unemployed people in the region who should be offered training before we start flying people up from Vancouver, James said. Yet I repeatedly hear from northern employers that the labour shortage is real and growing. The NDP warns that B.C. faces a future of “people without jobs, and jobs without people.” Mostly they

blame the B.C. Liberals for removing apprenticeship programs from union control. I spoke with James about post-secondary needs a couple of weeks ago. She mentioned NDP leader Adrian Dix’s signature policy to restore B.C. student grants, funded by a capital tax on financial institutions. She also agreed that part of the problem is young people taking post-secondary education that leads to fields with poor job prospects. I suggested that if B.C. taxpayers are to increase their subsidy to postsecondary students, already worth about two thirds of their schooling costs, perhaps grants could be targeted to areas of pressing economic

need. To my surprise, James agreed that is worth considering. This is significant, not only because it is likely to be unpopular in the education establishment. There is a good chance that James, a former school trustee, will be B.C.’s education minister in 14 months. After writing about the labour shortage last week, I was bombarded with messages from an irate Vancouver high school teacher who mocked the whole notion as corporate propaganda. No labour shortage exists, globally or in B.C., he claimed. Rather, “capitalists” of the “one per cent” have tried to “vocationalize” Continued on A9

Fletcher: Train Sneaky, underhanded move students for what we need economically Continued from A8

public education for a century, but the “people” have always “resisted.” Radical socialists aside, why would matching student aid to employment demand be unpopular with teachers? Education Minister George Abbott offered a clue during the lengthy debate over ending the teachers’ strike. Abbott noted that for every three teachers coming out of B.C. universities, there is currently only one job available. Certainly student debt is an issue worth discussing. And most would agree it’s easier to pay off loans if one can find a job in one’s field upon graduation. Should further subsidies go to soonto-be-unemployed teachers? No. Our education system trains too many people for what they want to do, rather than what the economy needs. And our economy definitely does not need more kids taught Marxist claptrap. Further to that, a tax on banks will be popular with some of today’s students, who protested against capitalism in the “occupy” camps that will resume as the weather improves. Others will examine the idea and conclude that financial institutions will recover the tax from customers, and perhaps find ways to get the job done with fewer employees. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com tfletcher@blackpress.ca

I am very worried! After reading Kristen Douglas’ article this morning on the front page “Fisheries act changes under fire”, I need to know what we as citizens who care about our coastline and the creatures of the sea can possibly do to stop this sneaky underhanded move by the federal government from becoming a reality!

I have written to both Alexandra Morton and David Suzuki this morning already. I am not on Facebook but I think someone needs to blast it out there, so that our voices can be heard loud and clear. Thank you Kristen Douglas for enlightening us. Dee Ritchie

Lacrosse: We do well Continued from A1 and we do the best we can with it. Does he know how much success our relatively small Lacrosse association has had every year? We usually have one team per division. Compared to larger communities on the Island which draw from a much higher population, and have up to six teams in one division, we do exceptionally well. Does he know that this year that four of our five divisions are bulging at the seams?

Our Tyke team has an all-time high of 19 kids to play this year. For the first time ever we are looking at two teams for Novice and two teams for Pee-Wee. Bantams had to apply to run one team of 24 because 22 is the cut off. Do you even know that we have a JR B team? I suggest in the future it may be important to know what you are talking about before you speak and we should be more supportive of our youth sports, as they are our future Mr. Jakeway.

Also, whatever you (City Council) have put aside for maintenance for the Lacrosse box, you can put that back in your budget, we have been maintaining the lacrosse box ourselves, cleaning up the garbage, sweeping it out, and picking up the dog poop that is left in the box on a weekly basis.

Slow response means higher insurance Continued from A10 hour) for the calls they respond to. This is as it should be. Any one doing the work that they do should be paid. It is dirty, it’s difficult and s o m e t i m e s bl o o dy and dangerous work that would make most people blanch and ill. That’s the reason why so few people do it. Which brings us to the reality of why the paid staff is so necessary. No one can be available for “Paid on Call” all the time. This is born out by the statistics generated over the past years by the department. The Willow Point Fire Hall is fully “Paid on Call.” To illustrate the problem with that is that some calls in the Willow Point Hall area go unanswered and no pump responds because no staff is

available. For those citizens living in Willow Point, this should be a red flag and cause for great concern. If there is a fire, there is a pump and paid crew on the way but it will have to come from the hall downtown. This can be a long wait, depending on the location. Those of us living on the north side of town and the Gordon Road area are faced with similar worries. The obvious consequence of large fire loss due to slow response is higher insurance costs and that reflects on all of us, not just on the victims of the fire. The potential for loss of life is a whole other matter to factor into this discussion. There seems to be some notion that the fire department is charged with only one thing, fire suppression,

paid on call firefighters for the simple reason a lot of younger people work out of town or employers don’t want to have employees away from the job. As communities try to attract retirees, this only complicates the problem because old people don’t volunteer to fight fire. For reasons that are only obvious. It is just not possible, practical or safe for its citizens, that this city, which has a “position of care” to have inadequate full time fire department staff. I challenge the Fire Chief to take the initiative and educate the citizens and city council about what his department does to serve the people of Campbell River and to support what his firefighters do. I am critical to the extent that it is the

chief ’s silence or nonleadership that has put his department and him personally in a very bad light as reflected in the letters we see in the papers. This service is good value for the $3 million budget and it needs to be supported and continue to grow. The chief needs to get on board or move on. Council itself should reflect on the fact that many wise persons have sat in the seats that they occupy today. Those people made the proper choices from which the city and fire service evolved. To move from that forward-looking vision will not serve us well. It does none of us any good to know the cost of everything but the value of nothing. Robert E.

however, they are also charged with fulfilling a First Responder role mandated by the provincial government. Many times, a fire truck and crew will arrive at an incident before an ambulance. Almost 75 per cent of a fire service’s time is used in fire prevention, which is a most efficient and productive use of time and resources. The result is good, ef ficient, economically-sound planning and paid on call staff can’t be expected to do that work. They have other jobs and lives.

Planning for Life Changes Looking Beyond 2X14 Mortgage Rates It’s easy to get caught up in the idea that PLANNING comparing mortgage rates will guarantee FOR you get the best bangLIFE Mike Parkinson for your mortgage buck. While this may be true for many situations, there are many scenarios where this strategy is not the most effective. Your long-term plan and risk tolerance should determine which mortgage product is right for you. This product may or may not have the lowest rate. For instance, if you prefer to budget for a consistent payment and can’t handle rate fluctuations, it may be better to go with a higher fixed-rate mortgage. If you think current rates are low enough and you will be living in your property for at least five years, it may be wise to also opt for a mortgage with a longer term. One of the biggest mistakes people make when merely comparing mortgage rates is failing to consider important factors such as prepayment options to help pay off the mortgage faster and early payout penalties. If you want the option to pay out your mortgage at any time without penalty then you may want to consider an open mortgage or home equity line of credit. Before you choose the best mortgage for your needs it is important to know all the options available. Although rates are very important, having the right product – even if the rate is slightly higher – can give you flexibility and save you money in the end.

Mayor slams city spending KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Mayor Walter Jakeway says the city is paying too much money for outside jobs because the process by which the city hires contractors is â&#x20AC;&#x153;flawed.â&#x20AC;? Jakeway said contractorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s are jacking up their prices for city projects because city staff set the budget too high. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been told by people who bid for the city and I know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on,â&#x20AC;? Jakeway said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very manipulative. I think our system is rigged for contractors to jack up the prices. I think we have a flaw in our system.â&#x20AC;? Jakeway said city staffers estimate a budget, council locks into that budget and once approved, staff put out RFPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (Request for Proposals) for city projects. The problem, said

Jakeway, is the num- will open,â&#x20AC;? Jakeway bers staff come up with said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very are â&#x20AC;&#x153;SWAGs, scientific important for council wild ass guesses, not to have a $20,000 review point so counnecessarily cil knows deter mined whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going by fact.â&#x20AC;? on and so the He gave an public knows example of whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going what he said on. is happening. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know â&#x20AC;&#x153;You go to this is a big the store to change to go buy a comMayor Walter down from puter that has Jakeway $100,000 to no price tag. $20,000 but When you go in the private to buy the computer you say you sector sometimes it goes have $200,000 to spend down to $5,000.â&#x20AC;? Coun. Mary Storry on a computer,â&#x20AC;? Jakeway said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well guess disagreed with Jakehow much the computer way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel we need to trust is? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re our staff and if we trust our staff, let them build doing right now.â&#x20AC;? At Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s council our budget,â&#x20AC;? Storry meeting, Jakeway said said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we need he would like to have to stand back and let all city expenditures our city manager do the over $20,000 go through managing.â&#x20AC;? Coun. Claire Moglove council. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My concern is that said Jakewayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s motion as soon as the budget was â&#x20AC;&#x153;micro managing passes, the flood gate to the nth degree.â&#x20AC;?

City Manager Andy Laidlaw said thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing wrong with how the city prepares its budgets and selects a project bidder. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What you have now are best practices, in terms of other municipalities,â&#x20AC;? Laidlaw said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If an RFP comes in, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s under budget, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awarded.â&#x20AC;? But Jakeway was adamant thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something wrong. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re setting the price just below the budgeted amount and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re spending so much money,â&#x20AC;? he said. But Jakeway was unable to sway council and his motion to have expenses over $20,000 vetted by council was defeated. Instead, council asked for a report from staff outlining the current and former bylaw that determines how much city managers are allowed to spend without councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approval.

One bible story tells how David, a small boy, slew a gigantic soldier named Goliathâ&#x20AC;Śa classic tale of big versus little, tall versus short, and brain versus brawn. In March, a similar scenario plays out in coastal waters. Sunlight increases, warm winds blow and days become luxuriously long. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a signal to nature that once againâ&#x20AC;Śitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to get going. And so it is that the tiny herring along the Pacific North-

West coast fishers rush out to sea in herring skiffs to haul in over $30,000 in the few short days allotted to the herring fishery. The roe is a delicacy in Japan. wildernesswest@ shaw.ca

PAUL RUDAN/THE MIRROR

Rory Shade, 16, sings an old Scottish song for his mother Violet in his practice space, which also serves as the family’s laundry room. Shade has a natural countertenor voice which is uncommon.

Young countertenor and his family overcome life’s hurdles PAUL RUDAN

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Mana the mutt is no countertenor. But her musical master is. “ H e t r i e s, ” s ay s 16-year-old Rory Shade. “When I start singing he runs in, and when I go to the higher octaves he sings along as best he can. “It’s quite endearing.” Mana – a Maori word meaning strength – is the family dog at the Shade residence. Small, shaggy, and jet black with a small

patch of brown, it would be easy to miss Mana if wasn’t for her howling accompaniment with Rory. “He’s part Pomeranian because of his c u rl y t a i l , ” Ro r y insists. His mom Violet – a transplanted New Zealander who named the dog – is doubtful. “Just a little part,” she says. And then both mother and son laugh when they agree on Mana’s pedigree: Heinz 57. Mana won’t ever win a blue ribbon, but he’s appropriately named

for this family who make use of all their strengths. Their three children, Rory, Jesse, 12, and Bonnie-Jean, 10, all have forms of autism. They have a highfunctioning degree of autism, but they all require special care, a lot of a patience and, m o s t i m p o r t a n t ly, love. The family doesn’t have a lot but they have enough to be happy. The home they live in was floated in on a barge and relocated just off Spit Road on the Campbell River

Indian Band Reserve. Father Steve did most of the work himself and added on second storey for the family. Violet apolo gizes for the mess, but it’s comfortable and cozy like any family home. Tucked away in the back is the utility room where you find the washing machine, dryer, two freezers and the piano Rory uses for practice. He plays very well which is surprising, not because of his autistic condition, but because he also has degenerative neurological dis-

order which makes his hands shake. “It comes and goes,” Rory says with a shrug. If he seems indifferent its because he’s overcome so many hurdles already. Violet says Rory was always a little different. At the age of four, in Nanaimo, he was a member of their church’s children’s choir – but he wouldn’t sing in public. The next year though, when he did sing, what came out was a voice few expected to hear. Te s t i n g s h owe d he could reach five octaves and the family was encouraged to start Rory in voice lessons. So they started him with Callum Poppy who also sang at their church. The next year, when Rory was six, he joined Poppy in presenting Sir John Stainer’s “The Crucifixion.”

By age seven, Rory a l re a dy k n ew h i s career goal: To sing opera professionally. But there was also something else going on. Rory’s behaviour was different than the other kids; he had trouble making friends; he fidgeted with his hands; wouldn’t make eye contact with others; and fussed over little things like different foods touching on his dinner plate or even the feel of different fabrics on his skin. But it wasn’t until Rory was in Grade 2 in Campbell River when he was properly diagnosed with autism. Still, it was a struggle. Violet says there was little help for parents, while others, particularly children, had a hard time understanding Rory’s behaviour. He was teased and bullied almost daily. “I still remember all the kids who bullied me. They said I

A Grade 11 student at Carihi Secondary, Shade has reached the Grade 6 level at piano.

had ‘Rory germs’,” he recalls. But with the help of behavioural specialists, Rory changed, allowing his true spirit to shine. “The person you see today isn’t the same person you saw in elementary school,” says Violet. Rory also grew, to over six feet tall and yet his voice remained as sweet and angelic as it was as a child. “Countertenors are rare,” he explains. And Rory doesn’t take his talent for granted. He returns recyclables – thanks largely to donations by the congregation at Trinity Presbyterian Church – and has saved the money to attend a summer course at the Victoria Conservatory of Music. At a course last summer at the conservatory, he met with one of Canada’s leading countertenors, Daniel Taylor, who provided him with sage advice: Don’t just do one thing. Rory, of course, had already embraced the philosophy. He has a knack for languages – French, German, Italian and Latin; he plays piano – taking lessons from Connie Preston; he’s a straight A student at Carihi Secondary; and he’s a blue belt in karate at the Shito-Ryu Club. “I’d like to go to university and get a couple degrees,” he says. On Sunday, Rory Shade will perform a recital along with MaryJo Wood and Barb Cobham at Trinity Presbyterian Church, 145 Simms Rd. The concert starts at 2 p.m. Mana the dog will not be singing.

Frederick Roger Reber Fred (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Freddieâ&#x20AC;?) Reber was born in Niagara Falls, Ontario on September 23, 1940. He passed away peacefully in the Campbell River Hospital on March 12, 2012. His friends and family would like to say a huge thank you to the staff of 3-North for their compassion and care for Fred in his last days. Fred spent several summers in various logging camps around the Campbell River area in his earlier years, although he worked most of his life in other places. Fred worked as a chef for a while and spent 25 years as a long-haul truck driver. Despite seeing all of North America, it was always his dream to return to Campbell River. About 13 years ago, Fred was ďŹ nally able to realize this dream and lived for about 10 years on York Road before moving to Sayward for his last years. Fred was known for his gruff independence, a strong work ethic and a willingness to help anyone in need. He will be missed by his family and all who knew him. There will be a graveside service in Sayward on March 24, 2012 at 12:30 p.m. followed by a memorial service at Sayward Christian Fellowship Church, 740 Gentry Road.

Pole peeler will make changes to reduce noise Twenty-three years ago Campbell River’s Tracey Deller suffered a head injury, was flown to Victoria hospital, and put on life support. Following the injury, Deller was unable to return to work as a critical care nurse. Her doctors thought it

would be best for her health and recovery to work at the Blue Spruce Home Park, as it was quiet and low stress. And it was – until a noisy pole peeler plant moved in next door, Deller said. “I wake up in the mor ning thinking about this and go to bed at night thinking, worrying and wondering about all this.”

T h e p o l e p e e l e r, located at 5301 Duncan Bay Road, has had nearby homeowners up in arms since it began operating on Jan. 23. Neighbours have complained incessantly to city hall about the level of noise the debarker emits as it peels the logs. At Tuesday’s council meeting, Mayor Walter Jakeway announced

the pole peeler owner is willing to work towards a solution. He said Norther n Pressure Treated Wood Ltd. out of Ontario agreed to undertake all the modifications outlined in a sound consultant’s report. The recommendations include reducing the area of the in-and-out log feeds, enclosing the in-and-out feeds with

McIvor Lake residents want to be excluded from city KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Residents living along McIvor Lake Road say they’re frustrated with paying city taxes and being neglected by the city. The solution? To pull the area out of the City of Campbell River. “Why am I paying taxes as if I live in Willow Point or downt ow n ? ” s ay s A r e f Tabarsi, who spoke to the Strathcona Regional District’s Committee of the Whole Wednesday afternoon. “I don’t have anything, but I pay taxes at

the city’s mill rate.” Tabarsi says he paid $14,000 in taxes last year and he doesn’t get basic city services such as garbage pick-up, sewer, and running water. But the thing that gets him the most is the neglect of McIvor Lake Road. Tabarsi says the gravel road up to his home was graded only once this winter and two or three times in the summer. “For the entire six months of a year I’m driving on a public road that’s only been graded once. It’s unbearable,” Tabarsi says. “Collecting our taxes and giving us minimal to no

services, including a basic drivable road, is illegal, unethical and immoral.” The road is three kilometres long – the last 500 metres is gravel and the rest is paved. The road is used by seven local residents, BC Hydro and the Campbell River Ski Club. Tabarsi says in the winter there are so many potholes that the road looks like the surface of the moon. In the summer there aren’t as many potholes but instead constant dust kicked up by public traffic. “I can’t walk. I would never go for a walk – it’s

impossible,” Tabarsi says. “It’s not safe for my car to drive on the potholes so I’m always on the wrong side of the road trying to avoid the potholes. It’s unacceptable.” Tabarsi made a presentation to city council about nine months ago to discuss the condition of McIvor Lake Road, and at that time residents had discussed paying to pave the road themselves. But Tabarsi doesn’t think that’s fair and says the city has the responsibility to maintain all its roads. “I can’t believe the City of Campbell River

expects me to pave the road,” Tabarsi says. “Don’t you already get enough from me? $14,000 in taxes last year. It’s frustrating. I feel like I’m being held hostage. I want to get out of the City of Campbell River. I’ve had it.” Director Claire Moglove said Tabarsi doesn’t pay for city services in his taxes. “If you don’t receive sewer service, it’s not part of your taxes; same as water, same as garbage collection,” Moglove said. “Every resident has the same mill rate. The value you pay is based on the assessment (by B.C.

Directors confir med the mill rate is lower in Area D, but told Tabarsi he would still be without garbage and sewer services from the city. “That’s fine,” responded Tabarsi. “I imagine it would be my area you would come into. I have to say it’s refreshing it’s going the other way for a change,” said Brenda Leigh, Area D Director. “We get our road maintenance from the Ministry of Transportation and it’s not perfect either. We do have the province cover the cost of maintaining the roads, and the service is efficient.”

If the city agreed to let the residents leave, it would have to make a request to the provincial government to reduce the municipality. Tom Yates, corporate services manager for the regional district, confirmed it would be out of the regional district’s hands.

ILLEGAL DUMPING

We are residents of Forfar Road and enjoy walking our dog around the area roads and parks. We have noticed that there is continually garbage being dumped at the end of Fulber Road just off York Road. We had a look through some of that garbage and actually found some bank and phone receipts with a name and address! It's a scene of constant dumping.

Dumpers beware! We are watching this area! Anyone with information on the person/s who illegally dumped these items can call

Lights Out at the museum Join the Museum at Campbell River on March 31 for a ‘Lights Out’ event to encourage participation in Earth Hour, a global initiative. While citizens around the world turn off lights in order to encourage positive actions toward the global environment, the Museum will hold a candlelight talk featuring the 2012 HaigBrown Writer-in-Residence, Trevor Herriot. The event begins at 8 p.m. Entitled “Living Above Tide: Making the Haig-Brown Commitment to Family and Place,” Herriot’s talk will take a look at the life of Ann and Roderick Haig-Brown

as an example of the good that comes from mature, caring relationships, from the household to the village to the river. Herriot says that “their choices and way of living here during the last century continue to show us the healthy interconnections that give families, communities, and ecologies the kind of resiliency and social capital we need more than ever today to do the work of renewing our bonds with nature and with one another.” Herriot is a prairie naturalist and writer from Regina, Saskatchewan. His latest book, Grass, Sk y, Song: Promise and Peril in

the World of Grassland Birds (HarperCollins, February, 2009) won two Saskatchewan Book Awards. His writing has appeared in the Globe & Mail, Canadian Geographic, and several anthologies, and he is a monthly guest on CBC Radio’s Blue Sky. Earth Hour has grown from a one-city initiative (Sydney, Australia) in 2007, to a 5,251 city strong global movement, last year reaching 1.8 billion people in 135 countries across all seven continents. On March 31 it is expected that hundreds of millions of people will turn their lights off for Earth Hour. The event reflects

the BC Hydro pillar of environmental sustainability and BC Hydro is sponsoring the talk. Call the Museum at 287-3103 for more information. Trevor Herriot, writer-inresidence at Haig-Brown House in Campbell River, will lead a “Lights Out” event on Earth Day at the museum by giving a talk on the Haig-Browns.

Bowl for Breath raises $8,000 The 2012 Bowl for Breath for Cystic Fibrosis CanadaCampbell River Chapter, held on the weekend of Feb. 4-5 was a great success once again. Although just over 100 elementary students took part, their eagerness to raise funds was overwhelming. Nearly $8,000 was raised this year. This year’s fundraising wrapped up last week and many prizes were awarded to top fundraisers and to participants handing in pledge money by Feb. 29. Jake Douglas, a student from Penfield, was the top fundraiser. Pizza parties, courtesy of Little Caesars, were awarded to Jake’s class, as well as, Mike Rennie’s class at Ocean Grove for raising the most funds in the district and Paul Jarvis’ class at Penfield for having the most students participating in the event. Penfield School had the largest turn-out of participants overall. Half of the participants this year qualified to have their names in the draw for a helicopter ride for five courtesy of West Coast Helicopters by raising $50 or more. Jonah Morrow from Georgia Park was the winner! The Rock n’ Bowl on Saturday evening also contributed a

lot to the success of the weekend as over 50 adults bowled. Special thanks go to Crystal Lanes, CR DancXtreme & Fitness, School District 72 Staff and the office of Don Roset. Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common fatal inherited disorder affecting Canadian children and young adults. It causes a buildup of thick mucus in the lungs leading to severe respiratory problems and affects the absorption of nutrients from food. People with CF undergo many hours of therapy each day, take handfuls of pills and are often dependent of antibiotic therapy to maintain their health and quality of life. All proceeds from the Bowl for Breath go to the Campbell River

Earning their class a pizza par ty cour tesy of Little Caesar’s were Ocean Grove students Noah Vaton, Sydney Robinson, Kassidy Ross, Emma Hunchak and Julia Kretzschman who raised the most funds for the CF Bowl for Breath.

Radar and laser detectors are currently legal to install in your vehicle and use to avoid prosecution for failing to follow the speed limits in British Columbia. One has to ask why BC is one of the few provinces in our country that has not made this illegal. If you think like I do, inappropriate speed is a significant contributor to collisions and should not be encouraged in any way. Radar and laser detectors are encouraging some drivers to drive at inappropriate speeds every day. Radar and laser jammers are another matter entirely. While they are not illegal to install they are illegal to use to defeat police speed measurement. In fact, if you are successfully prosecuted for using them, you will have a criminal record that could prove to be a significant handicap to you later in life. The offence is in obstructing a peace officer in the execution of his duty, in this case speed measurement. Laser jamming devices are the most commonly found because modern lidar units warn their operator that they are being jammed. Since the vehicle being targeted is known precisely, it is easy to flag the driver out of traffic and start an investigation to confirm the source of the jamming. If found, the jamming equipment will be seized and kept to present as evidence at trial. If convicted, the equipment will be forfeit in addition to any other penalty imposed by the court. Are you willing to trade the possibility of a fine and a few penalty points for the possibility of a criminal record? Think twice about the “legal counsel” provided by the producers and sellers of jamming equipment. The author is a retired constable with many years of traffic enforcement experience.

Sports CHAMPS!

The Tyees and their coaches gather at centre ice at the Trail arena Wednesday afternoon for the mandatory team celebration photo following their championship victory at the B.C. Bantam Tier 2 finals.

Overtime victory gives Tyees title T

pions. The No. 1 Autobody Tyees went through some adversity in the round robin, losing to Burnaby Winter Club, but in the end they rose to the occasion and beat their roundrobin rival in the final, 2-1 in overtime. The Tyees didn’t waste any time in the extra period. One-minute in Josh Coblenz stole the puck at the Burnaby blue line walked in and fired a high missile shortside to send the team into

delirium. “I got off the bench, the d-man bobbled the puck and I stole it from him and then I was going to make a pass, but thought ‘no,’ I’ll just throw it at the net and it went in,” said Josh Coblenz. The game was scoreless heading into the third when Burnaby’s Kenessary Kylyshbek buried a centering pass from Jake Kryshki over the blocker of Tyee goalie Nic Kirchner. With 5:43 to play and the Tyees down 1-0, Joe Gage made an incredible play at the Burnaby blue-line diving

to keep the puck in the Burnaby zone, then making a pass to Travis Goodwin from his stomach. Goodwin slid the puck to Grady McInnes in the slot, who air-mailed it top corner to tie it at 1-1. “That was an unreal play,” said Tyee coach Peter Martin. “The guys see it. You look at inspiring moments that was one.” Forty seconds later however, the Tyees took a penalty, their only minor of the game. Burnaby threatened to go up, but Kirchner stood tall and Campbell River patiently killed the penalty.

“They just never quit. Your down 1-0 in the third period of the championship game, five minutes left – all you ever work on is just how much determination they really have to win, and that’s what you see.” Campbell River finished second in Pool B behind Burnaby who they lost to 3-2, but then beat Westside 8-7 and Fort St. John 13-2 in the round robin. They were then victorious against a tough Cranbrook side, 4-3, to make it into the final. The team was consistent up front, good Continued on A31

Gymnastics: Ouellette owns open division with five gold medals PAUL RUDAN/MIRROR FILE

Josh Coblenz, seen here at the Island final in Campbell River, scored the game-winning goal in overtime to secure a provincial title for the Bantam A Tyees.

The Vancouver Island Loppet, with categories for all ages, is popular, fun way to end the ski season.

defensively, with not a lot of flash but a ton of character. “The thing we talked about between the second and third period, was team stuff. It doesn’t matter who does it and that’s what we’ve tried to teach everybody,” added Martin. Earlier in the season, things didn’t look so good for Campbell River which came into the year with high expectations. Two years ago, 11 members of the team were playing for the provincial champion peewee A team while most of the others were on the peeewee B squad which also made it to the B.C.’s. But Martin said the coaches intentionally front-loaded the schedule in order to play the best teams in the province. That included entering two top-top tournaments early in the season, where things didn’t go so well. “At one point we had lost nine in a row, but we weathered the storm and by Dec. 1, I thought we were pretty good,” he said. So good in fact that the team is bringing home another championship banner. A celebration for the team is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, 7:45 p.m., at the Rod Brind’Amour Arena.

The Strathcona Nordics invite you to end your cross-country ski season in style by skiing in the 30th Annual Vancouver Island (V.I.) Loppet on Saturday, March 31. The loppet promises to be fun for all ages and abilities – it’s a mass start event with distances for children, youth, recreational skiers, and hardcore racers. According to BC Nordic magazine, “This [V.I.] free technique loppet is one of the most popular late season loppets in B.C.” A loppet is a traditional long distance cross-country ski event,

where skiers challenge themselves and their communities to a good, long ski. The V.I. Loppet is held in the nordic area of Mount Washington and loppet participants ski Mount Washington’s scenic, rolling nordic trails. The event is sponsored by Mount Washington Resort, by Rossignol, and by Dr. Andreas Conradi. Participants can not only enjoy a beautiful loppet course, but also refreshments and many prizes! Registration closes on March 29. You can visit StrathconaNordics.com to learn more about the loppet and to register.

Starting the level two athletes off were Janika Scriba and Cassidy Bodnar. Scriba won the gold medal on bars and floor while adding new skills on both events, a sole circle on the bars and a back layout salto on the floor. She also added two silver medals, one on beam and one on vault to capture the all-around title. Bodnar had a stellar vault taking the gold, finished in 2nd on the floor exercise with a new round off back handspring back tuck. Bodnar brought home the bronze medals on bars and beam and finished the competition in 3rd place. Mackenzie Henderson was our lone Level two tyro. Henderson had two beautifully stuck vaults to take the silver medal. Henderson took sixth place on bars, 8th place on floor and 20th on beam to come home with a Wild card spot for the provincials in eighth place in the all-around. In the Level two Novice division, Mackenzie Johnson qualified to the team in sixth spot despite a full point deduction to her floor routine for not having music. Johnson took home the silver medal on the bars, finished fifth on beam, sixth on vault and was 13th on floor. Without the penalty, Mackenzie would have finished in second in the all-around. The level two open division was owned by Ashlyn Ouellette who came home with all five gold medals. Ouellette also added a round off back handspring to her floor routine. Katie Lund was right behind taking two silver medals home on vault and floor, and finishing fourth on beam and fifth on bars taking the silver medal in the all-around.

Sarah is a long time Campbell River resident who enjoys her business. Sarah has had fish almost her whole life. She started her first freshwater tank when she was 10 and it grew from there. She has bred many different types of cichlids and livebearers but has kept a vast array of fish. Growing up her room was filled with fish tanks rather than girlie stuff. After a short hiatus from the hobby, she and husband Larry decided to challenge themselves with a salt water tank. Many trials and tribulations later, they’re hooked! Previously up to 7 reef tanks in the home...who needed TV? Now, with the demands of the store, she has a salt water 65 gallon reef and a planted 65 gallon freshwater tank. Sarah, prior to the purchase of the Campbell River Pet Centre, was the manager of a local veterinary hospital for 21 years. She has also owned many rodents, reptiles, amphibians, birds, had a pond, and of course fish! She also has 2 beautiful kids!

“We all have ability. The difference is how we use it.” Charlotte Whitton – ﬁrst woman mayor of a large urban Canadian City (Ottawa)

Women in Canada’s workforce It’s a perfect time to consider how active women have become in Canada’s workplace and to recognize the challenges they continue to face. Statistics show there has been a 50% increase in the number of self-employed women in Canada over the past 15 years. In fact, the number of womenowned businesses is growing at a rate that is 60% faster than those owned by men. These

women are surprisingly older, too: They’re taking the time to acquire work experience and gain a more rounded knowledge of their chosen work environments before setting out on their own. The average age of a woman who owns a business is 41. Yet, although men many experience certain challenges and difﬁculties within the work force, these same obstacles are even more complicated for

women who may have to balance work and family life. Some say it’s a balancing act that can’t be done, while others insist it simply requires perseverance and good organizing skills. Cultural obstacles also include gender inequality and income: A woman earns, on average, $0.80 for every dollar earned by a man, which means she has to work more to earn as much as her male counterpart - even in the self

employment sector. Therefore, although the Canadian workforce has become increasingly open to women, their personal economic gains are still limited and familial obligations continue to add pressure. Please take the time to read about some of our local women in business and thank them for the incredible contributions they make to our community.

Campbell River BUSINESS WOMEN They play a very important part in our economy.

Stereo Fitness Stereo Fitness is a dream come true for me. Like many others, I battled obesity. After the birth of my youngest child in 2007, I knew I had serious changes to make. After venturing into a popular gym in Manitoba and attending my first Zumba class, I found a love for Zumba. One year later and 100 pounds lighter, Zumba had changed my life! I was hooked and continued attending classes, seeing incredible changes to my silhouette and self-esteem. With a new lease on life, I decided that I wanted to help others enjoy fitness, which has led me to open Stereo Fitness in Campbell River in August 2011. I am very passionate about fitness and believe that with the right motivation and instruction, anything is possible and at Stereo Fitness we want to provide this and more to everyone that walks through the door – motivation, inspiration and top notch instructors!

with damaged caning, drapes with frayed edges, or repainted furniture. Antique dealers may turn up their noses because of the work involved in restoring such things, but if you’re patient and savvy, you can acquire the know-how to do this kind of repair work. If you’d like to create a warm, cozy atmosphere in your living room, a bioethanol fireplace could be an economical as well as an ecological solution. This type of fireplace is easy to install, does not require a chimney, uses renewable energy, and quickly heats a room. It is also smokeless, scentless, and there are no ashes to clean up. This sort of fireplace does

require certiﬁcation, however, and can only be installed in fairly large, well ventilated rooms. Last but not least, LED lights are the latest trend in penny-pinch decorating, as they consume very little energy. They are available in every possible size and shape to create a welcoming and cozy atmosphere in your home.

If your old furniture is of good quality, it can easily be refurbished and enjoyed for years to come.

The best way to give your home a facelift without spending a fortune is to use materials that you already have on hand. With a bit of time and effort you can restore furniture and freshen up your home very inexpensively. If your old furniture is made of solid wood, for example, it can easily be refurbished and enjoyed for years to come. Just strip it down or paint it a fashionable colour. You could also remove or add decorative features and change any handles or knobs for modern ones. Next, ﬁnd out when and where auctions will be held in your area. These estate sales and close-outs are one of the cheapest ways to furnish a home. If you’re a real bargain hunter, choose defective items and ﬁx them up: chairs
