Seven vehicle pile-up on slick highway

Area D sewer delayed again KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A sewer system for Crawford Road residents is on hold for another year. A project that would connect 172 homes in the Ocean Grove and Crawford Loop neighbourhoods to the City of Campbell River’s sewer system was not included in the Strathcona Regional District’s 2012 budget. “The Northern Area D Liquid Waste Management Plans, which would begin with Phase One in the Ocean Grove to Crawford Loop neighbourhoods, has been postponed,” confirmed Brenda Leigh, Area D director. The neighbourhoods south of the city boundary are within what is known as Area D, and are governed by the regional district. Houses are currently hooked up to septic systems to manage their waste. Karen Van Male, who lives on Crawford Road, said many of her neighbours have been experiencing septic problems in their homes and have been anticipating sewer service for several years.

Police described the scene as “chaotic” following a sevenvehicle accident on a hailcovered highway Friday. The accident occurred around 1 p.m. on the Inland Island Highway near Hamm Road. The road was covered in hail and it was raining heavily when the multivehicle accident occurred. According to RCMP, the driver of the first vehicle, a Chevrolet Cavalier, was travelling too fast for road conditions when he lost control of the car. As a result, two other vehicles were forced off the road as one went into a ditch while the other struck the centre median. Then, as other motorists tried to assist the injured, four more vehicles, unable to stop on the slick highway, were also involved in the accident. According to the BC Ambulance Service, 15 people required treatment, but were not seriously injured. As a precaution, three people were taken to Campbell River Hospital while another three were transported to St. Joseph’s Hospital in Comox. There were also three children in one of the cars, but none were injured. Comox Valley RCMP, ambulance paramedics and firefighters from Oyster River Volunteer fire Department were all on scene at the accident. A paramedic and emergency room doctor, both off-duty, also assisted in treating the injured. The driver of the Cavalier was ticketed for driving too fast for the road conditions.

Area D sewer: ‘there’s no fix in sight’ Continued from A1 “The septic smell when it rains is really bad,” Van Male said. “There’s no fix in sight.” Leigh said the regional district received a connection proposal from the city on Oct. 10, but the price tag was too high. “The regional district cannot proceed with the project due to the fact that the proposed connection cost to Campbell River would more than double what was authorized by the northern Area D citizens at referendum,” Leigh said. Nearly six years has passed since the June 10, 2006 referendum. Northern Area D residents voted in favour (52 per cent) of the regional district borrowing $9,250 per lot, for the collection and disposal of sewage. Properties benefiting from the sewer service would cover the costs in either one lump sum or spread out over a 25-year period. The regional district has also secured approximately $3.4 million in provincial and federal government grant funding. That funding is available until March 2016. But Leigh said the regional district cannot proceed with the sewer system this year because the city’s proposal would push the cost to more than double what was publicly approved. “The regional district is legally unable to proceed with the project unless it is within the authorized spending limit,” Leigh said. She said a second referendum hasn’t been ruled out. “Next steps are for the regional district staff to provide other options/costs, but anything beyond the spending limit (approved) would require a form of public assent through either an Alternate Approval process or another referendum in the proposed service area,” Leigh said. The liquid waste planning process for Area D has been ongoing since 2003. According to the regional district’s website, construction on phase one of the sewer project was tentatively scheduled for the end of 2009 and is valued at $5.1 million. It involves around 4,000 metres of gravity sewer main, 200 metres of forcemain, two pump stations and 172 service connections to existing properties. Subsequent phases are supposed to extend the project southward to include Mittlenatch, Stories Beach and York Road subdivisions.

Celebrating Easter downtown What a fabulous day! Sunshine, temperatures in the mid-teens and hundreds of families taking part in Saturday’s fun Easter activities sponsored by the Downtown Business Improvement Association. Things got off to a tasty start at the Easter Egg Hunt at Robert Ostler Park and then the huge crowd walked over to Spirit Square to take in the children’s entertainment, petting zoo and craft stations. A salmon barbecue was held too to raise money for the Campbell River Killer Whales Swim Club.

Chocolate Easter eggs – left by you-knowwho (pictured left) – lie in the grass at Robert Ostler Park, as hundreds of kids took part in the goodie hunt.

Someone obviously didn’t get enough chocolate as he spies the girls’ basket of treats.

Floatplane can’t keep off the airport grass A floatplane landed on the grass at the Campbell River Airport on Saturday. The de Havilland Otter was coming to the airport for maintenance but was not equipped with wheels. The airport staff used the fire trucks to hose down a section of grass to use as a runway, and the aircraft was landed successfully. The plane was flown in from Granada, Nicaragua and will be fitted with wheel gear at Sealand Aviation before it continues on to Dease Lake. Landing on the grass with floats is not that unusual, but it has never been done at the Campbell River Airport. It is commonly done when the aircraft

are being switched from floats to wheels. The secret to a good landing is wet grass, and the airport staff were happy to make that happen. Bill Alder and Greg Koopman from Sealand Aviation used a floatplane cart to move the Otter to the Sealand Aviation hangar. Pilot Dave Crerar of Vernon, and co-pilot Neil Mueller of Dease Lake were glad to be back in Canada after a journey that took 30 hours with 3 stops. Sealand Aviation staff were in Nicaragua for over a month preparing the Otter for the flight. They needed to inspect the aircraft and install additional fuel bladders for the long flight legs of

the journey: up to 10 hours between stops. The preparation of the aircraft took three days, but it took weeks more to get approval from the Nicaraguan authorities to buy fuel for the plane. Aircraft from all over the world land at the Campbell River Airport. Most bring tourists who come for the fishing and fishing lodges in the area. Many aircraft come for maintenance. Currently, at the Sealand Av i at i o n h a n g a r s, along with the Otter from Nicaragua, there a re a i rc r a f t f ro m Calgary, Anchorage, Ketchikan, Wrangell, Yakutat, Seattle, Victoria, and Port Hardy.

The city is paving the way for electric vehicles. City council gave first three readings last week to a bylaw that, if adopted, will allow Campbell Riverites to drive electric vehicles on city streets. The cars, also known as Neighbourhood Zero Emission Vehicles, are touted as environmentally friendly for their low emissions output. Instead of running on gas, the cars are battery-powered and compact. Stanley Elliott, the president of Campbell River Electric Wheels, brought the vehicles to council’s attention last September. At the time, he had just received a brand-new electric car that he was itching to sell. But there was a road

block in Elliott’s way – the cars aren’t legally allowed on Campbell River roads. Elliott sold council on the benefits of a bylaw similar to ones already in place in Tofino, Oak Bay, Esquimalt and Qualicum Beach. “These cars will reduce the city’s carbon footprint dramatically,” Elliott said. “There’s a large amount of driving that can be done and it will save people a boatload of money.” City staff agreed with Elliott, but not without some reservations. Drew Hadfield, the city’s transportation manager, acknowledged that Neighbourhood Zero Emission Vehicles can not exceed 40 kilometres per hour as they lack safety features such as air bags, ABS, and shock absorbent body panels.

Hadfield said the Island communities that allow the vehicles indicated they were only aware of one or two vehicles in their respective communities and that they had not posed any problems. Still, Hadfield said the RCMP had some concerns. “The concern locally is that these vehicles may disrupt the flow of traffic in the community and cause complaints to the RCMP and city hall related to their inability to travel at the posted speed limit,” Hadfield said in a report to council. However, Hadfield noted the proposed bylaw restricts those vehicles to roads that have a speed limit of 50 kilometres or less. “This would limit the vehicles to the central part of the community and would restrict

them from crossing or travel on any provincial highways as the bylaw would only be in effect for roadways within the care and control of the city,” he said. Instead of filling up at the pumps, the car’s battery is set on a charger for around six hours. Elliott said one charge, in ideal conditions, can last for 76 kilometres. If the car is travelling up a lot of hills or is driven in cold weather, the temperature of the battery changes and the charge will last for 46 kilometres. The battery can last anywhere between four and eight years, according to Elliott. Coun. Ron Kerr said it was his “pleasure to make the motion” to give first three readings to the bylaw which was passed by council.

A group of Special Olympic athletes could not have picked a better night to appear in front of council. Athletes Nicholas Benner, J.L. Hollywood, Beau Wryghte, Darcy Hutter, Hazen Meade and their coaches Marvin Holmgren and Maureen Brinson were recognized by Mayor Walter Jakeway for the array of medals they brought back from the Special Olympic National Games in St. Albert, Alta. Meade and coach Brinson spoke to council last week in front of more than 100 people who attended the Tuesday council meeting to protest against a 13.6 per cent residential tax increase. Brinson shared how Benner, Hollywood, Wryghte, Hutter and coach Holmgren joined the Nanaimo Tigers floor hockey team and helped the team to a national gold medal. Then Meade stole the show. “I got two bronze and one silver,” Meade excitedly explained. “It was my first ever national gold medal.” Meade, with his excitement and enthusiasm, endeared himself to spectators and

Taxpayers behind the large turnout commented on the moment on Facebook. “Especially good for the Special Olympians,” reads the Campbell River Tax Revolt page. “That standing ovation for their efforts and wins was spectacular and very well received.” Meade, a snowshoer, won his gold medal

in the 1,600 metre event (in -17 C degree weather) with a time of 8.28, breaking the record for the fastest time in Canada. Meade followed up that performance with a silver medal in the 400 metre and a bronze in both the 800 metre and the 4x400 metre men’s relay. But that wasn’t all, as Meade, arguably, saved the best for last. “There was even more exciting news,” Meade gushed. “I was picked to go to

Team Canada.” That means Meade will represent Canada at the Special Olympics World Winter Games in Seoul, Korea in January 2013. He will be the fourth Campbell River athlete to represent Canada in a world games. “It takes a community to to make this happen,” said Brinson. “I would like to say thank you to (the) athletes...for continuing to make us so very proud.”

Our View

Give kids the gift of health The Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology wants children to move more and sit less, essentially, so they won’t become fat. The group wants them to grow up healthy and this past week released We say: Hopefully what it says are the first guidelines for the ‘early years’. Not surprisingly, we can all they call for less screen time – TV, lapdevelop healthy tops, iPods and smart phones. habits No doubt kids today spend a lot of time staring a such screens – watching videos, playing games, browsing and texting. But many are also active – walking to and from school,

playing sports, taking part in track and field, martial arts or dance. They ride bikes, run and skateboard. Still, many are overweight. The main reason isn’t so much screen time as what they put into their bodies: sugar and fat. And it’s not just pizza and pop, hamburgers, chips or cookies. So-called sport drinks can contain as much sugar as a slushee. Specialty coffees and hot chocolate are loaded with calories. We consume such products despite healthy eating programs devised and promoted by our provincial government, even though we know better. We do so out of convenience and because many items that aren’t

healthy taste good. So have a little, not a lot – and not often. Buy more fruits and vegetables, whole grains and lean meats. Grow lettuce and berries in pots on your deck. Turn off the TV, the video game console, take away the iPods and cellphones. Cook and eat together, as a family, even if only once or twice a week. It’s a good habit to get into. People are busy, but they can also be lazy. Start by setting a good example for your kids, and hopefully they’ll develop the healthy habits the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology so desires. All it takes is will. Consider it a gift – their health. – Black Press

The wisdom of elections Most of us don’t want to run the City of Campbell River. We don’t want to go to the meetings, read the volumes of material, and engage in the endless discussions that are part and parcel of municipal politics. Rather than do the work ourselves, we turn it over to others more willing than us, who are prepared to do the work of city councillors. It is not an easy job, and they are entitled to our respect and courtesy. We choose those who will undertake this work every three years at municipal elections, selecting the six most qualified from among those who are willing to stand for election. We would be foolish to elect councillors on the basis of what they assert they will actually do, for we, and they, have no way to know the details of the challenges they will face during their three year terms. Rather, we are wiser if we elect those who hold values consistent with our own. By doing so we elect those who will make decisions in a manner consistent with that which we would in similar circumstances. We elect six councillors, and each of us who votes is entitled to vote for six people. It is a system that ensures Continued on A9 We welcome your opinions on stories and issues published in our pages as well as issues of broader concern encountered elsewhere.

Plain brown envelope puts me in my place

Alistair Taylor Out On A Limb

It was one of the strangest packages I’ve ever had dropped off to me at the office. And the funniest. A plain brown envelope adorned with the name and address sticker of Doug Robson. If you don’t know Doug – and I don’t – he’s the council critic with a penchant for the dramatic and he didn’t disappoint me with his creative commentary. You may have heard of Doug and his pointed comments for city councillors who dare to spend a penny of the taxpayers’ hard-earned income. Last year he brought a golden shovel to make his point for city councillors. Last week, he was one of only two tax hike protestors who took council up on its invitation to address them.

Needless to say, he did not approve of a 13.6 per cent tax hike. Then as he walked away from the microphone he quipped that in the good old days they used to be allowed to throw fruit at them. It’s too bad because the protest was going so well. Up to that point, people were successfully demonstrating their opposition to the tax hike peacefully, politely and poignantly, including Doug. None of the “not-onlyare-you-wrong-but-you’re-stupid,-toboot” kind of harassment of people on the other side of an argument that we hear all too often in community forums. Reporters heard his comment and reported it. I had the audacity to

write an editorial that included the suggestion that this was an unseemly aside for such a respectful protest. On Monday a package arrived, hand-delivered. Inside was a covering letter cc’ed to the mayor, the three new city councillors, my counterpart at the Courier-Islander and a one Brian Robson, a relative of the offended, I can only assume. The brief letter stated that “On April 7, 2012 and April 8, 2012, I (Doug Robson) researched your editorials for the past four years, the period beginning April 4, 2008 and ending April 7, 2012. I have compiled 50 pages (attached) of all your Good, Great, and Outstanding editorials for the above period.”

Clipped to the letter were 50 blank sheets of paper. Oh, the pain. Oh, that stung. Oh, way to force me to see the light. I guess he showed me, by golly. You gotta hand it to him, Doug has a flare for the dramatic. I had a good laugh over that one. I can’t wait to see what he sends me for writing this column. Doug’s critique of my writings has inspired me to bear down and be a better writer. No, a better person. . I guess Doug’s demonstration is his way of saying that he remains convinced he is entitled to make to make callous and mildly threatening comments in our municipal chambers. I guess, then, we will continue to disagree on that matter.

Please listen to taxpayers’ wishes A man considered to be one of, if not the most intelligent man this planet has ever produced, Albert Einstein, once said “the definition of insanity is repeating an action over and over,but

expecting different results each time.” E a ch s u c c e e d i n g council for the last three elections has been facing what is now very apparent, that we no longer have a tax cash cow to pay

for many of the things we have taken for granted for years. The city of Campbell River has a large ( and well paid) workforce and budget to match which needs to be reduced in accordance

with the drop in tax base. What we as taxpayers need is council members who are able to make the needed cuts. Being on council can be a tough job at the best of times,but these

people obviously want the job. Please listen to the taxpayers and represent our wishes, not your personal agendas. Chris Hughes Campbell River

Zena Williams, Publisher

Mayor is responsible to all the citizens of Campbell River Continued from A1 that the council reflects the electoral wishes of the majority of those who vote. At the last municipal election, four councillors sought re-election, and all four were re-elected. Those four councillors are known to us and none of us can realistically state that we are surprised that they are acting in a manner consistent with their previous time on city council. Contrary to the views expressed so eloquently by Mayor Jakeway when he stated that “Taxpayers

are being screwed.” We are not. The citizens of Campbell River are being represented by those selected by a majority of the voters, in a manner consistent with the values expressed and demonstrated by them. That a vocal minority disa g rees with their approach does not alter that. Mayor Jakeway, on the other hand, was not elected by a majority of voters. Less than 38 per cent of the voters voted for him. A majority of voters, more than 54 per cent,

voted for the two mayoralty candidates who had previously sat on city council. In some places subsequent balloting is employed to ensure that the winner of an election has the support of the majority of the electorate. O n e wo n d e r s i f Mayor Jakeway would have been elected at all were such a system employed, but it matters not; we use the system we do, and Mayor Jakeway received the largest number of votes for Mayor. As such, he is duly elected, and responsible to all of

the citizens of Campbell River. This is where Mayor Jakeway’s misunderstanding of his role is acute. He states, “The responsibility of the mayor is to support the taxpayers who voted him in.” He is wrong. He is responsible to all of the citizens of Campbell River, including the majority of them who voted for other candidates for mayor, and for councillors who disagree with Mayor Jakeway. There are political systems wherein a leader is beholden only

to a minority of the population, but they are not called democracies. Perhaps Mayor Jakeway is still finding his way in a new role. Perhaps he has merely expressed himself hastily and did not mean the things he said. One can only hope that with time, he will grow into the role of Mayor. If not, it will be a long three years.

There are rules All City Councils in B.C. run on a set of rules. Mr. Jakeway had his say in council, he voted on the budget issue and he lost. Now he is attempting to overthrow the rules. We did not elect him to change the rules or lead revolts on our Council. If he cannot operate within the rules he should resign. Those who are unhappy with the tax increase should gather together and come to an agreement regarding the specific services they want reduced or eliminated. That will keep them busy till the next election in three years. These are not easy decisions. Geoff Goodship Campbell River Keep your trash My thanks to Joan Stevens for writing the letter clarifying the role of a civic mayor. This role does not include trashing the city we all call home. The negative behaviour of a small percentage of the population reflects badly on our city. Whoever gave our

city the 184th rating has obviously never lived here. We have a long list of why this is a great place to live. Perhaps taxes are lower in Windsor but who in their right mind would want to live there? We need a strong team on council to get us through these difficult times and for the mayor to say, “I don’t follow rules” and to talk about “revolutionary management” is unacceptable. Teams have rules and winning teams have leaders with positive leadership skils. Knowing the facts put forth in Joan’s letter and reading the comments made by former Mayors Cornfield and McDonell, Mr. Jakeway would do well to have a close look at the position he has been entrusted with. A tax revolt will do nothing other than tar nish the reputation of our city. No one likes to pay taxes but if 38 cents a day means we can maintain our services then that is the way it has to be. Letting services slide now will only result in more taxes needed later to pay for the

deterioration that will occur. There is an old adage to be adhered to, “A stitch in time saves nine.” Dawn Piché Campbell River Why all the uproar? What gives with the citizens of Campbell River? Why all the uproar over the property tax increases? Did we not have an election last fall where you could have turfed out all past councilors and gone with a group who were willing to make some hard decisions? Oh no, we voted in the people who have done nothing to pre-

pare the city for this day and who continue to vote to spend frivolously.Everybody knew five years ago that the day was would come when the mill would no longer here and that tax base gone. Why did council and management not start at that time to start paring down in preparation for the lack of mill tax money? Instead they just went on spending and hiring as if the day was never going to come. I hear a lot of talk about the increase yet I don’t hear too much about the money coming out of the tax reserve. Isn’t that the

same as taking money out of your savings account to pay for your monthly expenses? Maybe next election the citizens of Campbell River will vote for people who are not afraid of making tough decisions. Tony Stubbs Campbell River Sign petition Once we vote people into government, whether municipal, provincial, or federal, we leave it up to those chosen to make decisions for us. We vote for people on what they say they will do and not on what they

actually end up doing. You vote for someone because of what they claim their ideals are, and what they promise to do. The problem is that they ultimately have no obligation to follow through on those claims, legally or otherwise. Once you have voted in a council, for example, the council has three years to make decisions on your behalf. If you don’t like the decisions they end up making? Well then you can wait three years and try again; until that time you are at their mercy. Maybe we can change this. What I propose is a petition for both

The Interne Internet has changed many things in ou our day to day lives. In the area of Graphic Gra Design, it has had a tremendous effect. Now anyone anyon with a word processing program (i.e. (i.e MS Word) or page layout (MS Publisher, Print Shop, program (M Sharilyn Irving etc.) and a cconnection to the internet, can hypothetically hypothe be a graphic designer if tthey know what they are doing and have an eye for layout and ddesign. The biggest problem, however, are the images and graphics that people “pull off the web” to incorporate into their documents. Just because it looks good on the screen doesn’t mean it will look good iin print. All our mo monitors, from CRT to LED, have an optimized resolution aat 96 DPI. That means that if an image is at 96 DPI, it will look ggood on the screen and you can see it very well. However, when w printing anything from a ﬁle, most printers , from inkjet to commercial copiers, have a minimum optimized resolution aat 300 DPI. This means that if you would like to print a document with an image, the image has to be at least 300 DPI at the size tthe image is being printed at. So, if you are ar pulling images from the web, make sure that they are at a high enough resolution so when you print them, your images look good.

Hearing loss can cause tension and frustration in relationships. Many times a loved one with hearing loss claims to hear ﬁne - it’s YOU who mumbles! Sound Martin & Jana Jurek Hearing Instrument familiar? Situations like these Practitioners are often due to hearing loss. If undiagnosed and untreated, stress created from hearing loss can have negative effects on the physical and emotional health of all persons involved. On average, an individual takes seven years to accept hearing loss and do something about it. That’s a long time to stress over constant “mumbling” or for others, not to be properly heard! If you think you or a loved one has hearing loss, consider a hearing evaluation. If hearing loss is present, perhaps consider a hearing aid ﬁtting and rehabilitation. Our next article will give tips on how to communicate effectively with a person suffering from hearing loss.

When cats groom themselves, they swallow the loose hair that their rough tongue removes from their fur. Hairballs form when this swallowed hair accumulates in the esophagus or stomach. If a cat only swallows a few hairs during a grooming session, these hairs may mix with the other stomach contents and pass right on through. Longer hairs or large amounts of short hair may form clumps that stay in the upper part of the intestinal tract until eventually they cause enough irritation that the cat will regurgitate them up - usually onto your prized carpet or couch. There are a couple of things you can do to lessen the likelihood that your cat will develop hairballs. First, you should groom your cat regularly to remove some of the loose hair. Ideally you should brush your cat daily, but even a weekly brushing will make a difference. Second, you can give your cat a hairball preventative on a regular basis. These products are designed to coat and lubricate the hairs that are in the stomach so that they will pass through the digestive system. Finally, there are some cat foods that are said to help prevent hairballs. They may be a worthwhile addition to your hairball prevention strategy, particularly if your cat does not enjoy grooming.

The insurance advertised on TV sounds really inexpensive and say it is guaranteed for life. Why wouldn’t I just buy it? Insurance Companies are all very different in the products they offer and how they choose to sell those products. Darlene Garat Insurance sold on TV often says “no medical exam required”, Financial Advisor which usually means the insurance application is underwritten (reviewed) at death. The ﬁne print could allow the company to refuse a claim if the insured died of a condition that was present when the insurance was purchased. The most reputable companies in Canada offer all their products through licensed professionals who can properly review your needs and ensure that adequate ﬁnancial protection will be in place when your loved ones need it the most.

Adding a companion bird to your family. Birds are fantastic family pets that generally have long life spans and very basic needs. A few of our favorites are Parrotlets, Cockatiels, Budgies and some of the smaller Parrots. If you’re looking for a bird that will interact with you, enjoy sitting with you and very likely learn to talk and do tricks any of the above will suit your needs. Some of the canary and finch family are fantastic companion birds that provide beautiful songs but aren’t a bird that you handle. On a sunny day in the store we have several singers vying for the title of best singer. Needs of birds are very simple. A quality cage such as Sarah Kirk a “Vision” will help to keep mess in and provide a safe, Owner attractive cage to your new feathered friend. Birds feed on either a seeded diet or pelleted diet with some fresh fruit and vegies daily and fresh water daily also. Cleaning the cage is simple; once a week you wash out the bottom pan, all dishes and perches and put in fresh bedding such as corn cob bedding. Wing trimming for the bird that is handled is a necessity every couple of months for safety, and nail trims when needed. Toys are very important to EVERY bird...it provides the bird with stimulation and entertainment when you’re at work and some toys benefit the bird with preening. We recommend leaving a TV or radio on for background noise as well. Birds require sleep...and a lot of it. We recommend covering your bird with a cage cover to black out light for 12 hours at night, and during the day he will still nap as they require about 18 hours of sleep daily! Vision cages have covers made for them that block out light and fit beautifully. Adding a bird to the family isn’t always a first thought for a family pet, but in truth is one of the best pets! Low maintenance, almost no odor, and enjoys being with people! There is no better.

I have a horrible time with seasonal allergies about this time of year. Normally I take over-thecounter antihistamines for months but I would like to avoid this. How does naturopathic medicine treat allergies?

There are various types of first aid kits that are on the market and having a wellstocked first aid kit is one of the most important things when rendering first aid. A first aid kit should be clearly visible and well organized so that you can find the supplies that you need in an emergency situation. You should always have your personal protective equipment in your Jennifer Comeau kit which includes multiple pairs of gloves Branch Manager and a face mask/pocket mask in case you are required to do mouth to mouth resuscitation. A first aid kit should have a wide variety of adhesive bandages and sterile gauze for various sizes and types of wounds along with antiseptic wipes for cleaning around the wounds. Being prepared for any type of emergency is the first part of dealing with any emergency situation. At St. John Ambulance we sell a variety of different first aid kits, including first aid kits for families, WorkSafeBC, and even pets! We also offer a re-stocking service if you have a first aid kit already. Contact us for more information on first aid kits, first aid supplies and equipment, first aid courses, donating, or volunteering with St. John Ambulance.

RRSPs are a good tool for reducing income and increasing your tax refund. However, a non-registered investment portfolio gives you more options at retirement. We Peter Garat often recommend clients use their tax refund to build non-registered Certified Financial Planner assets such as TFSAs. Nonregistered investments, when you redeem them, will not increase your taxable income, nor initiate a clawback on your OAS. It can allow you to enjoy a more active retirement because the cash is accessible without tax ramifications. The closer you are to retirement, the lower risk investments you should be in however, and they should be structured to be tax efficient. Once into retirement you may want to restructure again for estate planning purposes. Non-registered investments open up a lot more options in these areas than registered (RRSPs).

I keep hearing about people having too much invested in RRSPs. Should I keep adding to my RRSP or just invest in nonregistered funds?

A dog enters adolescence at about the age of 5 months, and doesn’t leave it until 2 and a half or 3, depending on the individual dog. The most challenging age is usually between 8 and 18 months (which is when most dogs are surrendered to shelters). Some dogs pass through this phase with little trouble, but most drive their owners crazy! During this Cathy Merrithew phase, it can be hard for owners to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Many small behavior problems can become large ones, and large ones can get much worse. Dogs learn to repeat behaviors that are successful - including bullying, fearful snapping, stealing off the kitchen counters, escaping, and mouthing, to name a few - until they become perfect. Be sure to keep your dog well exercised daily, both mentally and physically…..teach your dog some simple tricks like shake a paw, sit up, or speak on command. Try and keep his mind busy with all the right things – otherwise you can be sure he’ll make up his own games….. Our favorite saying is “A tired dog is a good dog”. Don’t blame him…..train him!!!

Some parents may forget to have their children finish a prescription. If the medication (for example, a pain medication) is to be taken “as needed for pain or discomfort,” you don’t need to finish the entire prescription within a set number of days. But with prescriptions like antibiotics, the medication must be Victor Choo finished for it to Pharmacist/Owner be effective. Throw away any old prescriptions. If your child doesn’t finish a medication, don’t save it for a future illness because most drugs lose their potency after a year. Unused antibiotics should not be used in future infections because you do not know if the new infection would respond to the old antibiotic. Do not use after the expiration date and talk with your doctor before giving old prescriptions to your child. Another common problem is the sharing of medications between siblings. We recommend that no one take a drug prescribed for anyone else or offer prescription drugs to another person, no matter how similar the symptoms or complaints.

When purchasing new furniture, consider the following:

Growing tomatoes from seed takes time and care, but it is not hard, and the results are well worth it. It’s best to have a warm place, or a heat mat, consistently 70 – 80 degrees F. A South facing exposure in a window, or the help of a daylight spectrum bulb, such as a T5 ﬂuorescent, is ideal. In a tray with inserts, or really any kind of shallow container with a clear lid, place moist starting mix such as Coco Coir, or Pro Mix Christa Fernau BX. Sow the seeds carefully a couple of inches apart and cover them with twice the seeds’ thickness in potting mix. Gently and thoroughly water with chlorine free water (let tap water sit at room temp for 24 hours) You may wish to add B Vitamins, such as B Plus, as a general health tonic, as it is excellent in any propagation practice. Remember not to let the mix dry out, but don’t over water either! Once the seedlings have emerged, do not allow them to overcrowd, as they will compete, and become spindly. If lighting is inadequate once they are sprouted, they will also become spindly, so keep light as close as possible. Harden the seedlings off gradually, starting with venting the domes, and making sure humidity isn’t too high. Once the plants are a 1/2 inch or so high, you may apply a weak solution of plant food, such as Canadian Plant Food Tomato Formula 6-10-8. As the plants grow, so do their feeding requirements, so higher concentrations of good quality nutrients are necessary.

Here’s a quick summary of some ways to avoid any potential discomforts: • Use long handled tools to Tanya Kesling avoid over-reaching Physiotherapist • Use fat handled tools to avoid gripping injuries • Work as close as you can to your task • Take breaks every 20 minutes to gently stretch If you have pain that lasts longer than 1-2 days please seek medical assessment quickly as acute injuries are generally easy to treat compared to chronic injuries that have spiralled into many compensatory movements and body changes.

My bathroom is small and outdated, how can I spruce it up? With such a small footprint to your bathroom there is no point in reconﬁguring it. Your vanity is still in good shape - just outdated. We can reface the vanity and build a custom oversized Evelyn M medicine cabinet to hang Interior Designer above your toilet. We will put textured glass in the cabinet for a lighter appearance. Using additional texture to create interest, we will install a pebble backsplash and a stone-look high-def laminate countertop. Since curved shapes suit small spaces better we will install a round sink and faucet with an oval pivoting mirror. We will ﬁnish with a soft grey on the walls to make them recede.

who may have limited space on their patios or pocket yards: get an early start with planting leaf lettuce, arugula, chard, mizuma and spinach as they don’t require full sun and definitely don’t like hot weather. If you are limited to a couple of large pots on the deck, you can have salad type veggies growing all season long – they thrive in partially shaded areas. Always have more starter plants on the go so that as you harvest your crunchy crop you are ready to fill the empty spaces with more veggies from the grow trays. The Garden Diva, Chelsea Holley, who started the community garden on Westgate Road, would like to hear from residents with unused backyards. She has a list of people with no yard space who would love to garden in someone else’s unused spare ground. Call Holley at (250) 926-0279.

When familiarity breeds contempt, people vote to reject the familiar and see what happens. Or as one radio talk-show caller summed up his decision to climb on board the B.C. Conservative bandwagon, he knows two things about leader John Cummins: “He’s not Adrian Dix and he’s not Christy Clark.” Cummins has about a year to show he’s earned his rising poll numbers. So let’s get to know Cummins a bit better. He’s 70, and has an 18-year record as a Re fo r m - A l l i a n c e Conservative MP. His Ottawa days are mainly remembered for battling treaties and aboriginalonly fisheries, and for being the first Reform MP to take the MP pension. That pension pays him about $100,000 a year. Another legacy of Cummins’ federal record is his support for the harmonized sales tax. He supported Conservative legislation to enter into HST deals with any province. Cummins said B.C. could have brought in

the HST at a lower rate. policy alternatives. So Cummins a l s o far they’re against gas endorses the proposed taxes, against a second Northern Gateway oil Metro Vancouver garpipeline to bage incinKitimat.

erals have suggested the B.C. Conservatives chose Christine Clarke as their candidate to capitalize on the premier’s name recognition. That wasn’t what Cummins and his previously unknown candidate found. “She’d say hi, my name is Christine Clarke, and the doors would close rather quickly,” Cummins said. Now she identifies herself as the B.C. Conservative candidate, then gives her name. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Attention for Campbellton Neglected part of city gets some action KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Campbellton residents and business owners who say their neighbourhood is being “ne glected”, have caught the city’s attention. City staff will look at the feasibility of working with Campbellton property owners to clean-up and beautify the area, within a Neighbourhood Action Strategy. Staff will also report back to council with a timetable and a budget for the initiative. The strategy was recommended at last Tuesday’s council meeting by coun. Ron Kerr, the liaison to Campbellton First – a lobby group for improvements to the northern part of town. “This is an opportunity to support the community of Campbellton which has been overlooked for far too long,” Kerr said. “The businesses and resi-

dents of Campbellton started last year with investing in Campbellton, during the election campaign, to bring attention to the deficiencies in their neighbourhood. This initiative has resulted in increased community pride.” Since Campbellton First formed last fall, the community has hosted a neighbourhood block party and conducted several community clean-ups. The group collected membership fees ($10 for residents, $20 for businesses) but those have long since been spent on sprucing up the neighbourhood. The community has bonded over a need to improve the community. Jim DeHart, a Campbellton business owner and one of the founders of Campbellton First, said there are very little curbs and sidewalks and there are signage, lighting and safety issues. Ted Arbour, owner of Econo Ezy Box Storage, said Campbellton has been overlooked by the city in the past. “Campbellton is so badly neglected by

the city, i.e. potholes,” Arbour said last fall. “When compared to Willow Point – what an extreme difference.” Brian Shaw, who relocated his Canaccord business to Campbellton last year, appeared before council last October to appeal for help from the city. “Campbellton has a special character and it should be maintained and nurtured,” Shaw said. “It is the entranceway to Campbell River and we want to work with you as a committee, as an association.” Shaw, on behalf of Campbellton First, also asked council for $40,000 to conduct a revitalization plan. But Kerr’s recommendation last week didn’t specify a dollar amount. “Economically I know this is not the time for projects but this would be a small investment that could lead to empowerment for the Campbellton community,” Kerr said. Kerr said the strategy would not involve a lot of money but rather a lot of community effort.

Spring is coming – time to tune up your bike T

ime to get your bike out of storage? Are you ready to hit the roads or the trails? Will you be riding during Bike to Work Week (May 28 – June 3)? Is your bike safe? The City of Campbell River Recreation and Culture Department is offering two great bike repair and maintenance sessions on April 18 and April 25 from 6:15 to 8:15 p.m. to help get you ready for the road or trail. The first session covers a pre-ride check; how to clean and lubricate your bike; minor maintenance and how to repair a flat. The second session shows you how to deal with problems while out on a ride – like how to fix a flat when you’re out of patches. The cost is only $10 per session. You can attend one or both. The classes are taught by Dan Clements at Outdoor Addictions (1980 Island Highway). Clements has more than 20 years experience as a bike mechanic. This class is ideal for ages 14 and up. Learn how to make your ride a safe one. Space is

Be wary of lost pet scams Losing a pet is a devastating experience. BBB of Vancouver Island warns pet owners to be wary of scammers that defraud heartbroken pet owners, who have publically advertised the loss of a pet. The Pay-Me-First Scam: In this scam the pet owner receives a phone call from a person claiming that they have the lost pet in their possession. This person asks that the reward money be sent to them before they return the pet. If the pet owner refuses, they will often threaten to hurt the pet in order to pressure the pet owner into sending money. Once the scammer receives the money, they are never heard from again. The Truck Driver

Scam: Someone claiming to be a longhaul truck driver tells you that he came across your pet while on his route. He then asks you to send him money so that he can send your pet back to you, or he may ask you to wire him money to board your pet until he can send your pet back with another truck driver who’s heading your way. The Tag Team Scam: You receive a call from someone who says that they think they have your pet. After talking to you for a while and getting information about your pet, they apologize and say that they’re sorry, but it turns out that it’s not your pet after all. They then give all the information about

your pet to a partner. This is a set-up -- in a short time, the scammer uses the information received about your pet only to have a second person call and claim to have found your pet who will try collect any reward money in advance. The Airline Ticket Scam: In this scam, someone calls and claims that your pet somehow ended up in another province. They ask you to send money for a kennel and an airline ticket and they’ll ship your pet back. Once the pet owner sends the money, the scammer walks away with it, leaving the owner without their pet and less money in their bank account. BBB provides the following tips to prevent falling victim to a pet

loss scam: 1. If you must place an ad, include only essential information. Refrain from providing information about unique markings or physical attributes. 2. If you get a call from someone who claims to be out-ofstate, ask them for a phone number where you can call them back. Scammers typically do not want you to know any of their personal information. 3. If a caller claims to have your pet in their possession, ask them to describe something about the pet that wouldn’t be visible in pictures, which may have been posted. 4. Never wire money to anyone you don’t know. This is a common thread in many types of scams.

crew virtually every stroke of the way. The rowers may encounter a fury of sea foam, giant waves, bone-chilling temperatures, and dense fog. Additionally, coastal navigation will demand vigilance in the face of sleep deprivation as the athletes row in two hour shifts, two rowers at a time, for 24 hours a day. The purpose: to engage youth and support marine conservation. As the public follows the expedition online, they will be inspired to get outside and connect with nature. Youth that transform their outdoor experiences into art and enter the CWF Get to Know Contest will have the opportunity to win great prizes including: having their artwork featured in CWFâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s WILD Magazine, the 2013 CWF Get to Know Calendar, or

the Wildlife Habitat Canada 2013 Youth Conservation Stamp; attending the weeklong Art & Nature Camp hosted by Parks Canada at Point Pelee National Park; art packs from Opus, digital cameras from Panasonic, books from Scholastic; and more. CWF Get to Know Contest launch events will take place at more than 20 sites across Canada. Two of the west coast contest launches will even feature appearances by the OAR Northwest expedition crew, which includes Canadian Olympic Gold Medalist Adam Kreek. A complete list of launch event locations is available at GetToKnow.ca/Events. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pulling out all the stops,â&#x20AC;? Luzny says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to sit on the sidelines and watch people lose touch with our wild

species and spaces. We have too much to lose, and everything to gain. CWF may be 50, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not too old to try something new to encourage stewardship.â&#x20AC;? About the Canadian Wildlife Federation The Canadian Wildlife Federation is a national, not-for-profit charitable organization dedicated to fostering awareness and appreciation of our natural world. By spreading knowledge of human impacts on the environment, sponsoring research, developing and delivering education programs, promoting the sustainable use of natural resources, recommending changes to policy and co-operating with like-minded partners, CWF encourages a future in which Canadians can live in harmony with nature.

Celebrate Sybil Andrews Painting in the great outdoors The Campbell River Arts Council invites the community to celebrate ‘Sybil Andrews Day’ on April 19 at the Willow Point Cottage, 2131 South Island Highway. Declared by the City in 2007, April 19 is officially Sybil Andrews Day. Bor n in Bury St. Edmunds, England, April 19, 1898, Andrews was a graduate of the Grosvenor School of Art, an institution world famous for its promotion of Futurism. Andrews was an early practitioner of linocut printing, a controversial medium championed by the Grosvenor School. She moved with her husband Walter Morgan to Campbell River in 1947, where she lived up until her death in 1992. She taught art and music in her home for many years. Today her linocut prints are sought after internationally and have reached record prices. The

Sybil Andrews Cottage was the first property on Campbell River’s Heritage Registry. On April 19, beginning at 1 p.m., the Sybil Andrews Heritage Society will host the community at the cottage. The children’s choir of Ecole de Monde will perform from 1:15-1:45 p.m. Andrew’s student Richard Calver, also an internationally recognized artist, will present a talk at 2 p.m. that focuses on the linocut print Fleece (shown, left). Cur rently in the Museum at Campbell River’s collection, this 1986 print features a sheep shearing scene from the Hudson farm in 1961. Calver will offer insights into Andrews’ style and working method. The day will also feature children’s art, free coffee, tea and cake. The mayor will cut the cake at 3 p.m. Call the Arts Council at 9230213 for more information.

Do you yearn to paint in the great outdoors? Are you wondering how to prepare for ‘plein air?’ Re n ow n e d a r t i s t Brian Buckrell will answer all your questions at a workshop called ‘Preparing for Plein Air’ at the Campbell River Art Gallery Saturday, April 28 and Sunday, April 29. ‘Plein air’ means outside, and for many artists, working outside is enticing, but daunting too. Buckrell’s workshop will take place indoors and will give artists all the information necessary to paint outside. Buckrell is a member of the Federation of Canadian Artists, Landscape Ar tists International and the Society of Canadian Artists. He has won

Black Creek runner leaves ‘em in the dust A week after placing top-five in two NCAA National Indoor Championship races, Southern Utah University runner Cam Levins added to his career accolades with a first-place finish in the North American, Central American and Caribbean (NACAC) cross-country championships in Port of Spain, Trinidad. Levins, from Black Creek, took gold in the 8K with a 24:04.13 time, six seconds ahead of runner-up Christopher Landry (24:10.61) of the United States. The March 17 race was run on the Savannah in Queens Park under hot skies with a strong breeze. Temperature at the start of the junior women’s race at 3 p.m. was 34C but cooled slightly by the time of the senior men’s race at 4:30 p.m. Right from the start, the USA used team tactics and set the early pace from the front with five American

runners in the lead. T h re e C a n a d i a n s, Levins, Barry Brit and Sam Pawluk, hung at the back of the pack, with Saheed Khan, Colin Fewer and Vancouver’s Jerry Ziak (former G.P. Vanier track star) about 20 to 30 metres back through the first 4 km. Levins looked far more comfortable as the race progressed and seemed to find more strength on each of the four laps, content to stay behind, yet with, the Americans. In the final 2 km, Levins matched the surge of USA’s Chris Landry while the rest of the American team and Britt became strung out along the back part of the course. In the final 200 metres, Levins took the lead for the final time and put on an impressive finishing kick to win in a time of 24:04.13 over a fading Landry. The U.S. rounded out

the top five to win the team title, but Levin’s performance and top10 finishes by Britt, Khan and Fewer helped Canada place second in the team race, 49 points ahead of third-place Jamaica. Ziak finished 11th in 23:30.07. Three weeks earlier, Levins won dual NCAA All-American awards for his top-five finishes in the 3,000metre and 5,000-metre events in the NCAA National Indoor Track and Field Championship in Boise, Idaho. Levins’ performances in the events helped SUU finish 15th in the nation in indoor track and field. Levins backed up a fourth-place finish in the 5K with a thirdplace finish in the 3K. He said he couldn’t have ran any better. “I finished higher than I was supposed to and finally got on that top-three podium,” he said. Continued on Page A34

Extended snowshoe season Levins: ‘The best’ ANDREW SCHERCK

Continued from Page A34

SPECIAL TO THE MIRROR

The Vancouver Island Mountain Centre on Mount Washington wants to help as many people as possible “experience the freedom” of the seasonal duality where sand, flip flops, snow and snowshoes coexist. The VI Mountain Centre intends on celebrating the late season snow by running a variety of snowshoebased group programs in May and June. So why not get a group of 10-40 friends, co-workers or a team together and come up and play in the snow and/or spend a night with us while your mountain bike is in getting a tune up? You can find the Vancouver Island Mountain Centre at the end of Nordic Road across from Raven Lodge and Strathcona Park’s Par-

Snowshoeing enthusiasts create a pattern in the snow of Paradise Meadows, just under the downhill ski runs on Mt. Washington.

to start your outdoor adventure programs or to use as a training base in the 3,500-foot alpine or simply for a restful retreat. For a description of the various May and June programs visit v i m o u n t a i n c e n t r e.

SUU track and field head coach Eric Houle said Levins’ performances were phenomenal. “To perform and be consistant at this level is what you hope for,” Houle said. “Sometimes more amazing things happen.” Levins finished the 3K with a time of 7:49.48, just over three seconds behind winner Lawi Lalang of Arizona State. Levins ran a 13:38.12 in the 5K, where Lalang was also the winner. Levins scored 11 points for SUU, putting the T-Birds in a tie for 15th place and just a single point behind BYU. SUU came into the meet ranked 31st in the nation. Houle said Levins will focus on distance races in the outdoor season and prepare to make another run at the Outdoor National Championships in June. Levins said he’ll continue to chase an NCAA title and work toward qualifying for the the 2012 Olympic Games in London. “I keep finishing better and better,” Levins said. “I’ve only got two more places to go, and the Olympics only come once every four years so I’m going to give it my

all.” Levins was the lone runner from SUU to qualify for the indoor national championships. There are generally only 12-16 runners who qualify for each event in the whole nation for Division I track. Levins qualified for two. Going into the meet, he was ranked 10th in the 5K and fourth in the 3K. Levins is hoping to break the Canadian 5K record. He is currently sitting at a time of 13:42 and needs to go under a 13:25 to break the record. Houle said he has never coached a better athlete than Levins. “He holds every school record from the half mile up,” Houle said. “Only two people in the whole country have qualified for the (5K), the (3K) and the mile. So he’s not only the best ever here at Southern Utah, he’s probably one of the best ever in the country and by far the best athlete this school’s ever seen.” Levins was not able to compete in indoor competition last year due to him redshirting, but he has been placing higher in outdoor competition last year and higher in cross-country this year.
