Janine’s walk for child poverty heads down-Island Tagger tagged with jail time and fine ALISTAIR TAYLOR

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Janine Annett spent a night in her own cosy bed last weekend at her home on Quadra Island. Which is good because on Monday morning, the Grade 9 student set off from Campbell River in cool, drizzly conditions after a rally at Spirit Square with her supporters. The youngster is walking from Port Hardy to Victoria April 3 – May 3 to raise awareness and money for child poverty both locally and globally as well as support youth empowerment. Annett’s walk is called A Walk for a Wish and her goal is to raise $10,000 which is equal to one penny for every step. “It’s going pretty well,” Annett said. “I have had lots of support just from people driving by honking, waving all that kind of stuff.” She has been doing 20-25 km per day and actually arrived in Campbell River a couple of days earlier than expected. “I am walking across the length of Vancouver Island to raise money and awareness for child campbellrivermirror.com proverty,” she said. “All the money I raise is going towards a school in Barind Bhilo Ki which is a povertystricken community in northern India.” For more information see A Walk for a Wish on facebook and to donate: http://my.e2rm.com/ personalPage.aspx?registrationI D=1334430&langPref=en-CA.

BUSTER & ZEUS ADVANCE NEED FOREVER HOMES

Tagging has its costs. Just ask 18-year-old Brittany Beckley who tagged her street name on the downtown Community Centre last Dec. 6. Beckley was with two other “taggers” – people who spray paint names or logos on public and private property – but they were never identified. Instead, after examining the video surveillance, Beckley was pinpointed and charged with mischief. “It’s a significant cost to taxpayers,” Crown prosecutor Adrienne Venturini told Judge Brian Saunderson on Monday in Campbell River provincial court. Venturini pointed out that tagging is not a huge problem in the city, but left unchecked, every building could be defiled if nothing was done. The next day, city work crews spent about $500 in labour trying to remove the spray paint from the bricks of the Community Centre, but their efforts weren’t good enough. So they brought in a professional sandblaster who removed the rest of the mindless scribble at a cost of $212.80. At Monday’s court appearance, Beckley appeared before the judge wearing red high-top sneakers, blue jeans and a red checked jacket. Her medium length dark hair was highlighted with green dye.

Pole plant opponents catch protest bug KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Not to be outdone by the taxpayer revolt, neighbours living near the pole peeler plant on Duncan Bay road staged their own protest Monday. A group of angry homeowners carried signs condemning the pole peeler, which it says has destroyed their neighbourhood. “It’s ruing our property values, it needs to move,” says Tracey Deller, co-owner of Blue Spruce Home Park which is next door to the pole peeler. “This isn’t nor mal industrial noise. We have a saw mill up here, we’re used to industrial noise and this isn’t industrial noise.” Corinne Matheson, wh o ow n s M y s t i c Woods Nursery up the road from the plant, likens the high-pitch screech of the peeler to “Chinese water torture” while Con-

nie Cawley, who lives across the road says the sound is like “having a screw go through my head.” Duncan Bay Road n e i g h b o u r s h av e appeared before city council several times, angry that the city allowed the pole peeler to locate so close to a residential neighbourhood. Deller says she spoke to the owner of the facility, Northern Pressure Treated Wood, and was told the site was the only industrial piece of land the city showed him. Deller says she asked owner Mike McCollough if he would consider re-locating the plant and got no response. On Monday, frustrations boiled over and Deller says neighbours decided to stage a demonstration just outside the pole peeler gates – once at 8 a.m. at the start of the work day and again at 4 p.m. as workers would be leav-

ing. That didn’t pan out the way Deller had hoped, as crews had already packed up and left for the day when the protesters arrived. Nonetheless, Deller says the group will keep ploughing ahead with its demonstrations. “We’ve all got these signs and we plan to go around the streets downtown and around city hall to try to get some attention as to what’s going on,” she said. The group was also planning to join Campbell River tax revolters in a protest before Tuesday’s city council meeting, after the Mirror went to press. Deller says on Monday the group received lots of support from passing motorists and has no plans on giving up the fight. The group has already hired a lawyer which has sent the city a letter to put them on notice that the resi-

dents are unhappy and could choose to slap the city with a lawsuit. Deller says they have until July 23 to take legal action. “We don’t want to sue the city, but the option

is there,” Deller says. “People think taxes are high now. Add a class action law suit – my God. We want to work with the city to move the pole plant.” The city, for its

part, has requested the owner of the pole peeler to implement sound abatement options which McCollough has agreed to do. The company has

until April 27 to produce an application for the modifications and once the permit is issued, will shut down the plant for two to three weeks to make the changes.

Continued from A1 She pleaded guilty to a single count of mischief and her lawyer, Angie Penhall, said that Beckley understands what she did was wrong. But Judge Saunderson was perplexed. “What’s the point of tag-

replied. The semi-retired judge still didn’t get it as he accepted a joint submission from the Crown and defence counsels. Beckley was ordered to spend three days in the RCMP jail cell and ordered to repay the city $212 for the

Marine and boat show sails in to town Ocean Pacific’s Marine and Boat Show was held under sunny skies last Saturday. Hundreds of Campbell Riverites enjoyed meeting expert boaters and getting a glimpse of new products brought over by supplier representatives. The day included a display by Campbell River’s dragon boaters, live music by Jim Creighton and other local acts, door prizes and a live auction, with all proceeds going to the Campbell River Hospital Foundation. While walking among the displays, visitors could also pull up a chair and take the ROC-M radio exam, which was offered by the Power Squadron.

Visitors at the boat show got to be captains for the day while at the remote control model boat pool.

City sets the record straight on budget KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The city is concerned Campbell River residents may be upset over incorrect budget information. “It is a significant issue and we think

there’s infor mation that hasn’t gotten out,” said City Manager Andy Laidlaw. Some of the biggest misconceptions floating around involve capital projects. One of those is a cover for Spirit Square.

“Somehow people believe the cover is for the entire Spirit Square but it’s a cover for the stage so the musicians don’t get electrocuted in the rain,” Coun. Mary Storry said. Laura Ciar niello, the city’s manager of

of which can only be used for projects relating to sewer or water improvements. “It’s hard when you hear the citizens say ‘stop all the capital.’ The money’s already in the bank,” Ciarniello said. “In 2012 we’re not going to ask the citizens for capital funding because it’s already there.” Laidlaw also explained why residents are feeling a heavier tax burden than in years prior. “Since 2002, council has been shifting away from a reliance on major industry taxation – going from a point where major industry contributed approximately 25 per cent of the tax revenue to today’s less than one per cent contribution,” Laidlaw said. “And with the Catalyst site re-assessed, this is the

final step in adjusting taxation rates away from the ‘mill town’ taxation reality.” Laidlaw said although the tax increase has been hard for some to swallow, it is even more difficult elsewhere. In 2011, ranking from lowest to highest, Campbell River placed 94th out of 161 communities for the amount of residential property tax charged. On Vancouver Island, five communities had lower rates while 11 had higher than Campbell River. City council is scheduled to give first three readings to the budget bylaw on April 24 – a week later than originally expected. Ciar niello said the extension is necessary in order for city staff to prepare a difficult budget in accordance with the province’s requirements.

ects. Sean Smith, who ran for city councillor in November, told council during his delegation two weeks ago, that spending money during tight financial times looks bad. “When I drive down Highway 19A and I see crews out there laying dirt along the side of the road, I have to ask ‘why’ when we’re running out of money,” Smith said. “We’re spending thousands and thousands of dollars to lay dirt. When the mayor suggests that we eliminate capital projects, to me, from the outside looking in, that makes sense.” But Ciarniello said the capital projects are funded with money that’s been earmarked for those projects, typically with grant monies or from statutory reserves, some

cor porate services, explained the money for the cover is not coming directly out of taxpayers’ pockets, but rather out of the $60,000 that’s left over from a grant the city received to build Spirit Square. Laidlaw said city and council have also received a lot of backlash surrounding the Robron Park improvement project. “There’s been talk of an all-weather track, but there are no plans for such a facility there,” Laidlaw said. “The long-term design does include an allweather playing field. But council chose to withdraw the application for grant funding that would see development at that facility in 2012. Money ($250,000 from Parks Parcel Tax) remains in a reserve for future work at Robron Park, but there are no plans for 2012.” Several Campbell Riverites are displeased city council voted to raise residential taxes by 13.6 per cent (7.1 per cent after reduced user fees are factored in), while continuing to spend money on proj-

Teachers to vote on withdrawing from extracurriculars KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Grade 12 graduation ceremonies and the district-wide school track meet may be threatened if teachers vote tomorrow to abstain from extracurricular activities. B.C. teachers are voting on a nine-point action plan in protest of Bill 22 – provincial government legislation that extends the c u r re n t t e a ch e r s ’ contract and does not allow bargaining over class size and composi-

tion. If the vote passes, teachers will refrain from all voluntary activities, ranging from sporting events to after-school clubs. A wildcat strike is not included in the action plan, although a walk out down the road has not been ruled out. “The gover nment has forced us into somewhere we don’t want to be,” said Neil Thompson, president of the local teachers’ association. “It’s affecting kids, disappointing kids and dis-

appointing teachers. It’s not something we take lightly. It’s not something we want to do but the government has left us without any other choice. Our goal is to highlight to the public and the government all the extra things teachers do.” Thompson said he is confident teachers will vote in favour of the Bill 22 Action Plan. “I think it’ll be a ‘yes’ vote but we want it to be a strong ‘yes’ vote,” he said. “What we’re trying to do here is send a message to the government and the public that teachers have been disrespected.” Thompson said if the vote does pass, events such as the track meet

and the grad ceremony don’t have to be cancelled. Administrators, such as school principals and vice-principals, as well as the superintendent, can all still participate under the teachers’ job action – as can parents. Thompson said teachers can still attend, but not organize and co-ordinate the events. Teachers are currently working on a ‘bell to bell’ basis, or ‘teach only.’ Last month, teachers walked off the job for three consecutive school days, putting up informational “stickit” lines in front of schools to raise awareness of Bill 22. The legislation

imposes a cooling off period until August 31 and now makes it illegal for teachers to go on strike. Any illegal job activity carries hefty fines – $475 per day for individual teachers, $2,500 each day for officials and $1.3 million a day for the BC Teachers Federation. The bill also includes changes to specialneeds education funding, classroom sizes and teacher bargaining rights. The bill caps kinderg ar ten classes at 22 students while Grade 1-3 classes cannot exceed 24. Most Grade 4-12 classes can have up to 30 students but teachers in classrooms that exceed the cap are eligible for

additional compensation. “What the government’s done, through Bill 22 is disrespect teachers so much,” Thompson said. “I just don’t understand why you would want teachers in classrooms so demoralized.” Teachers have been in a grid lock with the provincial government since March 2011 when both sides came to the bargaining table. Teachers are asking for a 15 per cent cost of living increase over three years, as well as improved classroom sizes and composition. The gover nment, on the other hand, is standing firm on its net

Susan Lambert, president of the BC Teachers Union, has accused Jago of being partial to the government because he had a hand in Bill 22. Education Minister George Abbot said Jago’s only role in the legislation was to comment on the terms of reference for a gover nment appointed mediator. Even so, the teachers union asked the L ab o u r Re l at i o n s Board to rule on a request to have Jago removed from the role. Last week, the board reported that it’s the government’s position that only the courts can overturn Jago’s appointment. For updates on this story visit www.campbellrivermirror.com

Lack of city staff thwarts Campbellton plan KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

There is not enough staff at city hall to work with Campbellton residents and business owners to improve their neighbourhood, according to a city report. Campbellton First – a lobby group formed last fall to bring attention to Campbellton’s deficiencies – is willing to work with the city to come up with a strategy to clean-up the neighbourhood. Council directed city staff two weeks ago to look into the feasibility of an in-house improvement plan that would rely heavily on the strength of community efforts rather than city money. However, Ross Blackwell, the city’s acting manager of operations, reported that city staff ’s involvement is not possible. “Currently, there is no capacity to undertake this project inhouse given the significant staff vacancies in the Land Use Services department,” said Blackwell, who is also the city’s land use manager, in a report to council. He acknowledged Campbellton stakeholders’ interest in partnering with the city to achieve their goals.

lance. Then, on Dec. 30, around 9 a.m., staff at Johnny’s Bar in Willow Point discovered a break-in and $283 worth of liquor missing. The youth was arrested a short time later. “Again, video is what got him,” Crown prosecutor David Fitzsimmons told the court. At Monday’s court appearance, the youth appeared in the prisoner’s box and through his lawyer, Angie Penhall, pleaded guilty to all three charges. Judge Saunderson asked the young man if he had anything to say, but the youth declined. He’s also facing one more outstanding charge of break and enter, which allegedly occurred on April 22, 2011. Nevertheless, the youth was returned to his family’s custody after the judge read pre-sentence reports prepared by a youth probation officer, the John Howard Society and a psychiatrist. Fitzsimmons noted that the reports are not “particularly positive” but they are optimistic. Judge Saunderson agreed that intense supervision is likely the best remedy. It calls for the youth to obey a curfew, to attend a John Howard residential program, to take counselling as directed, to regularly report to his probation officer, to not drink or take drugs, and to not be in possession of any explosive devices or products. He was also ordered to repay $20 to Booster Juice and to attend school or seek employment.

Our View

Smoking out the smokers The federal government hopes that grossing out the 16.7 per cent of Canadians who still smoke will convince them to quit. New rules are in place requiring We say: Anything health warning messages to cover 75 per cent of the covers of all that can give cigarette and cigarillo packages, an extra push is both front and back, by this June. The hope is that people will give worth the effort up their habit if they see photos of other smokers dying of cancer or pictures of cancerous body parts. Quitting rates have slowed, although smoking

numbers are at an all-time low, and the government is forced to do something. But will ugly packaging make the difference? Some argue that diehard smokers who know the risks – and, seriously, who doesn’t? – will still ignore the graphic messages while others argue for blank packaging. Repackaging is probably good on principle, but is not likely to make much tangible difference, because smoking is just one of those things people do even though they know better. But it’s the intangible difference that could be most important. Experts note that successfully quitting smoking is

as much about the individual’s mental preparedness to kick the habit as it is about the tools or method used to butt out. Diehard, longtime smokers might already know the risks, but anything that can add a little extra push and help bring them to a state of readiness to quit is worth the effort, particularly when the cost to the taxpayer is negligible. Ultimately, the more people who can be encouraged and assisted to give up smoking the better, considering the health impacts for the individual, and the resulting health costs for the taxpayer. – Black Press

Solid waste plan fails In the Regional Solid Waste Management Plan newsletter, the stated goals are: Reduce the amount of garbage going to our landfills by 70 per cent. Reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from waste. Minimize the impact of landfills on the environment and surrounding communities. AECOM estimates our current regional waste at approximately 64,000 tonnes. A 30 per cent diversion of compost would reduce it to 45,000 tonnes a year. The ash waste produced from a large Waste To Energy (WTE) facility would amount to significantly more in volume of waste to our landfill than the garbage generated by our region. Composting will divert almost all of GHG emissions from landfill. With the WTE option we still have high GHG emissions. A WTE facility produces VOC’s, dioxin and furan air emissions and tonnes of arsenic, half in hazardous fly ash and half in bottom ash. (3.7 tonnes of arsenic were produced in Metro Vancouver’s WTE facility in 2009). The Ministry of Environment requires the WTE Continued on A19 We welcome your opinions on stories and issues published in our pages as well as issues of broader concern encountered elsewhere.

Fletcher’s environmentalism for dummies

Tom Fletcher B.C. Views

David Suzuki has resigned as a director of his namesake foundation so it won’t be the target of federal government “attacks.” This news is conveyed to me in a Globe and Mail report that is typically tilted in deference to “Canada’s most famous environmentalist.” The usual assumptions are woven in: Suzuki is a saint. His every utterance is treated as scientific fact, even when it’s a left-wing political rant. The Conservative government is a front for Big Oil that has “attacked” environmental groups by reminding them that political activities are not eligible for charitable tax exemptions. In recent years, the David Suzuki

Foundation’s campaign focus has been noticeably in step with the large U.S. foundations that fund most of B.C.’s enviro-scare industry: first salmon farming and now the Alberta “tar sands” in all its exaggerated horror. Suzuki’s personal activities aren’t easily distinguished from those of his foundation, as was illustrated with his recent CBC documentary that demonized the “tar sands.” Diseased fish were displayed, but natural contamination of the Athabasca River was glossed over. Aboriginal objections were highlighted, while local support and economic benefits were overlooked. This isn’t science or charity. It’s

tabloid journalism. Sensationalize, ignore facts that weaken the drama, play to people’s emotions. And he expects to be subsidized by the CBC and charitable tax exemptions as well? This news comes as I finish reading Patrick Moore’s book, Confessions of a Greenpeace Dropout. I was one of many young fans who cheered as Moore, Bob Hunter and the other 1970s Greenpeace pioneers set out from Vancouver to disrupt Soviet nuclear testing, and then turned to the regime’s slaughter of whales. In 1986, Moore split with Greenpeace and worked to set up a family chinook salmon farm. He said Greenpeace opposed aquaculture because it

destroys tropical mangrove swamps. Tropical prawn farms have no rational connection with B.C., but a global organization needs simple ideas that sell. This approach was seen in an earlier 1980s campaign against chlorine in pulp mills. Greenpeace protests against dioxins and the herbicide 2,4,5-T were eventually dumbed down to opposing the use of chlorine in all industries, including production of PVC plastic. Pulp mills developed a way to eliminate trace dioxins from their production, but that didn’t matter once Greenpeace had a global campaign going. They still used chlorine, so Continued on A19

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 18, 2012 | CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR |

Fletcher: Another bit of greenwashing Continued from A18 they’re bad. Speaking of chlorine, PCBs are polychlorinated biphenyls, a persistent background toxin. Tests found levels three to five times higher in some wild salmon compared to farmed. But the wild salmon results were ignored in a 2004 study, used by Suzuki to depict farmed salmon as poisonous. His foundation’s salmon farm campaign quietly disappeared down the memory hole after its PCB claims were debunked. Moore highlighted another bit of greenwashing in a visit to Victoria last year. The vaunted “LEED” certification for green building standards gives you points if your concrete is locally sourced, but no points for using wood instead. That’s because the long campaign by major environmental groups has devolved to “logging is bad.” Here’s the latest example. Greenpeace, ForestEthics and the Sierra Club were bankrolled by U.S. foundations to negotiate with the B.C. government, aboriginal people and forest companies for the 2006 “Great Bear Rainforest” agreement on the B.C. coast. Economic opportunity was delicately balanced against preservation, and First Nations gained new control of forests. Now the big enviros have begun campaigning against their own deal. As much as 50 per cent could still be logged, they say. It seems this particular green peace is bad for their business.

Use your heads, think of seniors I applaud our Mayor. At least he has the chutzpah to tell it like should be. Yes, the four councillors can do what they want, but it’s irresponsible! Not one of the “gang of four” mentioned a tax increase of this magnitude during the election campaign. It’s an insult to all taxpayers for these four to “pick our pockets” whenever they need more money. Here’s a message: don’t spend what you don’t have. It can be done

without service cuts, just delay capital projects to save money. Leave the “wish list at the door and deal with the “absolutely must do and cannot wait” list. Sell off the 3.5 acres and other city owned land. Don’t give $50,000 to INFilm and don’t fund Rivercorp. Use your heads and think of seniors on a fixed income. Our Mayor did. Hats off to him.

Singer rises above Pastel colours for peanuts “Like a Phoenix flying from the ashes I will rise” sings Sean Hogan on the prophetic title track of his sixth album release. The roller coaster of life got more frightening for nationally acclaimed recording artist and Campbell River resident, Sean Hogan late last April when, after reading to his daughters at bedtime, he noticed he seemed to be suffering from tonsillitis again. As it tur ned out, what was thought to be a return bout of tonsillitis, turned out to be much more nasty. Hogan had a rare form of Oral Pharyngeal neck cancer but didn’t know it until midAugust and was Stage 4A by the time it was diagnosed.

Celebrating Volunteers during National Volunteer Week

Scene & Heard

More than 75 volunteers joined in on cake and barbecued hot dogs at city hall Monday as a thank-you for their contributions to their community. Mayor Walter Jakeway signed a proclamation proclaiming April 15-21 as National Volunteer Week in Campbell River and he hoisted the National Volunteer Week flag to fly at city hall. Jakeway said “Volunteers are vital to our community” and paid tribute to volunteers who make things happen from their “heart and soul.” The mayor said volunteerism needs to be encouraged because “money doesn’t fix everything.” Chris Nagle from Investors Group Campbell River added thanks from the National Volunteer Week sponsors “for all your support and hours of time you put in.”

Mayor Walter Jakeway is backed by the ‘faces of volunteerism’ – the people who give their time to contribute to the betterment of their community.

Broom Bash continues Greenways assault on the evil weed G r e e n w ay s L a n d Trust and Tim Hortons invites you to join them Saturday, from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. at the Myrt Thompson Trail on the Campbell River Estuary in an effort to reduce Scotch Broom from these ecologically sensitive lands. The Annual Broom Bash is once again targeting Scotch Broom. Do your part with Greenways Land Trust and Tim Hortons to help celebrate Earth Week in a meaningful way by helping to rid our estuary of invasive species. Scotch Broom competes with native species for available light, moisture and nutrients, especially on disturbed sites. It alters ecosystems in such a way as to prohibit other plants from taking to land postdisruption, in return reducing biodiversity and dominating the

landscape. G r e e n w ay s L a n d Trust, an environmental non-profit organization, has been battling this fast growing, noxious weed throughout the Campbell River area for 12 years through their annual Broom Bash. Now in its 13th year, the volunteer event will be held at the Myrt Thompson Trail in the Campbell River estuary. It is located at the end of Maple Street (behind the Quinsam Hotel). Tim Hortons has partnered in this project, providing assistance to Greenways, plus tools, t-shirts, and Timbits to volunteers. Everyone is welcome to join in the ripping and clipping of Broom along the estuary. Scotch Broom, Cytisus scoparius, is native to the Mediterranean areas of Europe. It was intentionally introduced to B.C. in

1850 by Captain Walter Grant who planted broom at his farm on Vancouver Island in 1850. Regrettably, few realized the invasiveness of this perennial as it quickly spread up the east coast of Vancouver Island before invading the Gulf Islands and mainland. Humans encouraged its continued spread as highways departments planted Scotch broom as a bank stabilizer because of its deep root structure and rapid growth. Often found roadside or in open meadows,

a single plant can produce 3500 pods, within which there are 5-12 seeds, easily for ming dense thickets of yellow that obstruct mobility and increase wildfire intensity. So far there are no known natural predators for this weed, therefore allowing it to spread throughout southern B.C. and other parts of North America. It does particularly well in recently disturbed areas, and for this reason it continues to increase in areas of Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland

Earth Week film festival hits Tidemark Be inspired and help local students take action on environmental projects by attending the upcoming Earth Week Film Festival at the Tidemark Theatre tomorrow. As part of the annual event, the City of Campbell River and School District 72 are planning an actionpacked evening, which includes student films, community booths, and an opportunity to meet Jen and Grant, the young couple starring in the award-winning feature film, the Clean Bin Project. The evening promises to be thoughtprovoking, refreshing and humorous, while addressing some of the pressing environmental issues affecting our planet. “I am concer ned about how the earth is treated by humans and the impacts we are having on our planet, the environment, and especially our water sources,” says Rachel Lim, co-chair of the City of Campbell Riv-

High school students Rachel Lim, co-chair of the city’s Youth Action Committee and Danielle Meyers, cofounder of Timberline’s Earth Club, encourage everyone to do their part in saving the planet by recycling, composting and keeping green house emissions down.

er’s Youth Action Committee and a Grade 11 student at Timberline Secondary. “Each year we are seeing the snow pack

changing and more avalanches,” she adds. Lim is a freestyle skier, and is especially concerned about how climate change is

already affecting the mountains. Danielle Meyers, a Grade 12 student at Timberline co-founded the school’s Earth

Club. The club does weekly garbage cleanups outside the school, collects recyclables for charities and developed the school’s edi-

ble garden project. “It is important to take one week out of the year to appreciate the earth and to take action to protect our environment. We are the next generation so it’s important that our age group starts making a difference,” Myers says. “The Earth Week Film Festival is about local solutions and how we can each make a difference. One thing people can do is buy local so we aren’t shipping food and products across the sea. Start by buying produce at the Farmer’s Market,” she adds. “It’s the little things that add up, like taking transit, biking to work and school, recycling, and keeping our water clean for fish,” Lim adds. On Thursday, Apr. 19, film festival doors open at 6:30 p.m. and show time is 7 p.m. Admission is by donation, with proceeds going to support student environmental projects.

Last year’s donations helped fund water bottle refill fountains in several schools, the Stewardship Day at Timberline, materials to create edible school gardens, tree planting at a school, signage for composting and recycling programs and video production resources to make more green videos. The evening will be a great event for families, students and community members of all ages. Community booths will include information on stream stewardship, composting, pesticide reduction, recycling and more. Tickets are available on a first come basis at the Tidemark Theatre. Mark your calendars for Apr. 19, and come out to lear n more about the little ways that you can make a difference. Earth Week Film Festival is funded through a partnership with Comox Strathcona Waste Management.

COMMUNITY

Island beaches to get clean-up Sunday

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 18, 2012 | CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR |

Teams of Coastal Community Credit Union volunteers and Georgia Strait Alliance will comb the shores of eight local beaches across Vancouver Island for litter and debris in order to help keep local landscapes litterfree. Coastal Community Employees, Matthew Beckett, Rachael Robinson, Ken Watson, and Ashley Nichols spearheaded this initiative through an employee pro-

gram called ENRICH. The program was developed in celebration of the company attaining of one of Canada’s Top 50 Employer status’ for the first time in 2011, and was launched as a onetime initiative to empower employees and community groups to work together in order to make a meaningful and visible difference in our communities. “These beach cleanups

are important in so many ways,” says Matthew Beckett, Financial Consultant at Coastal Community Credit Union, and project lead. “Not only are we cleaning up garbage left on our shores, but all of the litter collected is recorded, and the data is sent to the Vancouver Aquarium to become part of a database about the British Columbia coastline.” Infor mation collected about the litter and debris,

and is included in an annual report about the Great Canadian Beach Cleanup. This information is also included in international research as part of the Inter national Coastal Cleanup –the planet’s largest volunteer marine environment protection effort. “We are grateful for organizations, like Coastal Community, that support community investment on Vancouver Island,” says Ruby

Berry of Georgia Strait Alliance, “It is clear that their employees are passionate about their communities, and their efforts are making a difference to our local environment.” This initiative is scheduled for April 22 in Campbell River at Adam’s Park. For more infor mation on how you can become involved in this shoreline cleanup, contact Matthew Beckett at 250-703-4165.

One billion containers recycled every year Encorp Pacific (Canada) is one of North America’s leading product stewardship corporations. With over 175 depots and mobile collectors across BC, the Return-It™ system is a British Columbia success story. Thanks to BC residents, 80% of the beverage containers sold in the province are recovered and recycled into something new. That’s over one billion containers kept out of our landflls. Encorp Pacifc runs the Return-It system. As one of BC’s largest product stewardship corporations, Encorp’s mandate is to develop and manage a consumerfriendly and cost-effective system to recover end-of-life consumer products and packaging for recycling. Encorp monitors and estimates greenhouse gas emissions associated with its recycling activities. This helps reduce their carbon footprint and maximize their net benefit to the planet. The numbers speak louder than words In 2010, more than one billion containers were recycled. That’s approximately 365 million aluminum cans, 355 million plastic bottles, 215 million glass bottles, 82 million drink boxes and cartons, and 10 million other containers of varying types. “One billion containers weigh around 97,000 metric tonnes. That’s about the size of an aircraft carrier,” adds Encorp’s President and CEO, Neil Hastie. “Imagine if our land lls had to accommodate that in addition to everything else that’s thrown out.” It all started with soft drinks First established in 1994, Encorp created a network of provincewide recycling depots to ensure soft drink containers were recycled. The system expanded in 1998 when the provincial government expanded the recycling regulations to include water, juice and alcohol containers.

Today, consumers pay a deposit on all readyto-drink beverage containers sold in BC, except for milk. Encorp’s Return-It Depot system collects containers from consumers and returns them for recycling on behalf of more than 1,000 beverage brand owners. “When Encorp rst started, we were recycling about 300 million containers. Over the past 16 years, that number has just kept growing and growing,” says Hastie. Milk and electronics too As product stewardship has expanded over the years, so has Encorp. They also manage the recycling of milk containers on behalf of the Dairy Council of BC and electronics for the Electronics Stewardship Association of BC (ESABC). “In less than three years, 50 million kilograms of electronics have been diverted from land lls and recycled responsibly in BC. It’s one of the highest rates of e-waste diversion in North America,” says Tyler Garnes, Encorp’s Logistics Manager. Transparency is a priority The details of Encorp’s nancial system are available to the public, including audited financial statements. Revenues include the sale of collected materials to recyclers, unredeemed container deposits and, if required, a Container Recycling Fee (CRF). Expenses include deposit refunds, handling fees to depots, transportation and processing of collected containers, consumer awareness and administration. No government funding Encorp is 100% industry operated and receives no government funding. They combine private sector e ciencies with a high degree of public sector transparency to manage collection and recycling programs. You can view Encorp’s

MARS Moment: This is the perfect time of year to spot green herons Continued from B6 live along the banks preying on salmon and other aquatic creatures. Tidal levels vary with low tides expose vast areas of mud flats and marshes that support all kinds of birds and water fowl as well as eagles and other raptors. It has been discovered that some of the mud flats exposed at

low tide, instead of being polluted, are actually covered with a mucous substance called “biofilm” which is sucked up by shorebirds like sandpipers. This “biofilm” is high energy food providing these migratory birds with the nutrition they need to complete their migration. The marsh areas around the estuary

support some very unique secretive creatures such as the green heron and the bittern. It also provides shelter for the great blue herons if they feel threatened. Great blue herons prefer to hunt along the shoreline – especially the air park shores – standing like statues patiently awaiting some unsuspecting

prey which they will catch with lightning speed. Unlike the great blue heron, the green herons are small stocky wading birds which have the appearance of “hunch backs”. They are extremely hard to spot as they are perfectly camouflaged to resemble the marsh vegetation. These herons do eat

fish but have a much more diverse diet, including frogs, crabs, mice and leeches. They are one of the few avian species that use “tools” to lure their prey. They drop feathers, insects, and earthworms. They even use speciallymodified twigs to lure their prey to the water’s surface. This is a perfect time of

year to spot green herons. They are more visible, forming small breeding colonies. You might just witness their strutting courtship displays. This is just a sample of the wildlife you may encounter on our walk for wildlife, take the time to stop listen and look around you. MARS will be sending mileage data to

The roadshow is coming to your town and it couldn’t have come at a better time. Now is your chance to take advtange of this great opportunity and have your items evaluted by one of their professionals. Whether its grandpas old wristwatch or your vintage Gibson guitar, bring it on down to the roadshow and have it evaluated by one of their experts for FREE! Since their inception, the roadshow has been giving people compensation for their old valuables such as old family heirlooms and even that old coin collection you had as a child. Great Canadian Roadshow experts will provide you with an accurate and fair evaluation of all your valuables, FREE OF CHARGE, and will also educate you on anything you need to know. The GCR also welcomes you to bring in multiple items as well, as there is no limit to the amount of items you can have evaluated. There is no appointment necessary and be sure to remember that this service is FREE OF CHARGE, so you have virtually nothing to lose! Expert Ralph Simon explains, “Many of the people we see are simply looking to get rid of various items they may have lying around their house. We have our experts examine everything to the finest detail and give these people all the information they need on these items. During these tough economic times, people are simply looking for a way to put more money in their pockets and we provide just that”. Simon added, “We all have items within our reach that have some value, we just never think it’s worth it. After a day with one of our experts, you’ll realize how valuable those items truly are. Dean Jenkins, a contractor from Iroquois Falls explains, “I was rummaging through my fathers old coin collection and found many rare pieces from the early 1940s. Not knowing their true value, I brought them over to the show and had them look at my collection.” Many of the people coming down to the show are unaware of how valuable their items truly. Our experts specialize in coin and antique evaluation, with a strong focus on customer needs as well. Jenkins continues, “After I sat down with one of their experts I knew I was in good hands. He examined all of my items and gave me information on everything as well. Who could have expected that I’d leave with a cheque for almost $4,000!” The Great Canadian Roadshow has also been extremely devoted to helping out their local community. Their work with the Heart and Stroke Foundation is proof of their commitment to the greater good and any generous donation given during the show will be matched dollar for dollar by the Great Canadian Roadshow. Last year alone, the GCR donated over $100,000 to this great cause, and now has the ability to accept donations nationwide. Go check out the show nearest you and remember not to leave anything behind. Whether you have gold or silver watches, porcelain dolls, or even vintage hockey cards, bring all your items on down to the roadshow and take advantage of this incredible opportunity.

See You At The Show!
