New hospital finally announced

ampbell River will get a new 95-bed, $266-million hospital, Premier Christy Clark announced today. Clark gave the green light for the North Island Hospitals Project to build two new hospitals in Campbell River and Comox at an estimated cost of up to $600 million. “Our government is proud to invest in these two new hospitals to ensure North Vancouver Island families have the best medical care when they need it and where

they need it – in their communities,” said Premier Clark. “These projects will also create construction jobs in the region and will provide long-term opportunities for health-care professionals and their families.” The announcement is a longtime in coming and the delay led to speculation that the two-hospital model would be revised. Last fall, Vancouver Island Health Authority officials alarmed Campbell River doctors when it proposed a one-governance, two-site hospital administration concept. During last fall’s civic election, eventual mayoral winner Walter Jakeway expressed suspicion that the lack of an announcement meant a new Campbell River hospital was going to be scrapped in favour of a regional hospital located in

the Comox Valley, this despite insistence from incumbents and the Vancouver Island Health Authority that the original plan was still expected to be brought to fruition. Both new hospitals are expected to go to procurement this spring, with construction planned to begin in 2013 and completion estimated for 2017. The cost of the project is estimated at around $600 million, but is subject to change once the procurement process is complete. The project will create approximately 1,900 direct jobs and over 1,400 indirect jobs in industries supplying goods and services used in construction. Across British Columbia, we are committed to building patient care,” said Health Minister Michael de Jong. “With these two
new hospitals, we are meeting the challenge of ensuring that quality, cost-effective and timely health services are available to all British Columbian families in the years to come.” The new Campbell River and District General Hospital will be built at the existing hospital site on 2nd Avenue. The new hospital will have capacity for up to 95 beds, including mental-health and addictions beds. The new facility will replace Campbell River’s aging 70-bed acute-care facility, which was built in 1956, with additions to the facility in 1966, 1972 and 1990. The final hospital design is subject to completion of the procurement process. “It’s absolutely great news that the North Island Hospitals Project is moving forward. The

Carihi vid kids bring home the medals PAUL RUDAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
PAUL RUDAN/THE MIRROR
Sheldon Revoy demonstrates a backflip for his fellow Carihi filmmakers Madelaine Nabbe and Michael Stevantoni. The three won medals recently for their videos.
Sheldon Revoy’s doing backflips, literally, over his silver medal win at the 2012 BC Student Film Festival. The Grade 12 Carihi Secondary student is also a limber gymnast who coaches at the Campbell River Gymnastics Club. In his video “The Clones,” Revoy combines athleticism and video skills to show himself leaping and jumping over walls, railings and vehicles throughout the city. The three-minute video earned him second place in the Extreme Sports category. “My job is to play,” he explains with a smile. Grade 10 student Michael Stevantoni isn’t about to top Revoy in the standing backflip, but the young filmmaker did out-perform his media classmate at the film festival. Stevantoni brought home the gold in the Long Form category for his 18-minute film which he shot last year in Vancouver. The video is about a detective trying to stop a bomber. On March 29, Stevantoni teamed up with Grade 11 student Madelaine Nabbe at the Skills Canada Regionals held at G.P. Vanier Secondary in Courtenay. The pair had just six hours to develop a scrip and to film and edit
the scenes into a finished product. Their short film “Change Brings Opportunity” focuses on teachers who are educating students about potential jobs in a changing marketplace. “They’re giving us skills to learn those trades,” says Nabbe. “They are giving us things we don’t really think about, but we need to know.” The win qualifies the video for the provincial finals in Abbotsford, and Stevantoni was just happy to get it done. “It was really stressful and fun too,” he says. “We didn’t have much time and I didn’t think it was going to be finished.” Also at the Skills Canada Regionals, Carihi’s Brandon Doak and Jeremy Tuttle were third overall. When he graduates in June, Revoy isn’t sure what he’ll do next, but he plans to keep on flipping and filming. Nabbe has another year of high school and had planned to go into the culinary arts, but now has something else in mind. “I’m thinking about creative arts. You can decide on your own projects and it’s your own creations,” she says. Stevantoni, the youngest of the three, has no doubt about his future. “Definitely a film director. I’m set on that goal,” he says.

Hospital: Valley to get 135-bed facility Continued from A1 Moglove. “Getting to this stage has been a long time coming. There has been an exhaustive amount of work done – by citizens’ groups, Regional Hospital Board members, physicians and by the Vancouver Island Health Authority – all to bring the project to fruition.” “This is a wonderful day for residents of North Island, for VIHA and for the patients we serve,” said Don Hubbard, VIHA board chair. “Residents of the Campbell River and the Comox Valley areas and northern Vancouver Island communities need and deserve these new acute-care facilities. These two new hospitals will improve safety, efficiency and clinical outcomes and assist VIHA in our goal to provide timely, accessible, high-quality care closer to home.” As one component of the twohospital project, the new Comox Valley Hospital will have capacity for up to 153 beds and will replace the existing 116-bed St. Joseph’s General Hospital. The plan is for the new hospital to be located at the intersection of Lerwick and Ryan roads in Courtenay, adjacent to North Island College. The design and location of the hospital will be

finalized upon completion of the procurement process. VIHA has reached an agreement-inprinciple with North Island College (NIC) to build the facility on land at Comox Valley campus. Steps are under way on consultation and final approvals required for the transfer of the land. “The residents of the Comox Valley were very clear, the region needed improved healthcare services for the growing population of the North Island,” said Comox Valley MLA and Minister of Agriculture Don McRae. “This project has been my number-one priority since 2009, and I am pleased work is now underway to make it a real-

ity. This project will provide an enhanced quality of life for the North Island residents for generations to come.” Locating the new hospital adjacent to NIC will support partnerships around the education of health-care professionals. St Joseph’s General Hospital in Comox was originally constructed in 1937, and is operated by the Archdiocese of Victoria through an affiliation agreement with Vancouver Island Health Authority. Since 2001, the premier said, more than $7 billion has been spent on health capital projects in British Columbia. Over the next three years, British Columbia’s health-care system will benefit from investments such as new medical equipment and modernized health facilities as part of a $2.3-billion health sector capital plan. This includes investments like the North Island Hospitals Project as well as other Vancouver Island projects such as the Royal Jubilee Hospital Patient Care Centre in Victoria as well as new emergency department and kidney dialysis centre at Nanaimo General Regional Hospital and a new emergency department Victoria General Hospital.

Budget planning process ‘manipulative,’ says mayor KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
A 13.6 per cent tax hike received first, second, and third reading by council Tuesday night, despite the mayor’s claim that the budget planning process has been “manipulative” and “misguided.” A group of about 35 residents attending the council meeting stormed out of council chambers after three readings of the budget bylaw passed. Some couldn’t resist voicing their disdain. “This council is a crock!” shouted Judy Campbell from the gallery. Another message to council: “Shame on you.” “We’ ll remember when the next election comes around,” a woman said as she got up to leave. Some Campbell River taxpayers have protested the tax hike since March 27 when council proposed the increase at a finance committee meeting. It inched one step
closer to law this week. All three readings passed by a 4-3 vote, with councillors Ryan Mennie, Claire Moglove, Larry Samson and Mary Storry in favour. Mayor Walter Jakeway and councillors Andy Adams and Ron Kerr were opposed. Jakeway, who weeks ago encouraged taxpayers to scream and yell and not accept the tax increase, said he was not surprised with how the vote unfolded. “It was inevitable,” Jakeway said after the meeting. Before the budget was put to a vote, Jakeway voiced his frustration with the budget process, charging it was fraught with problems. “The 2012 budgeting and financial planning process has been run in a manipulative manner,” he said. “There has been a misguided agenda underway. The result may set Campbell River’s recovery back at least a year, probably much longer.”
Jakeway said the tax increase will pull millions of dollars out of the local economy and deny council the choice to put scarce resources where they’re most needed. He said, during the budget process, city staff held all the strings, and didn’t provide as much information as was needed. “The last few months has felt like a game of controlled mini-golf with the staff supplying a moderate amount of financial data at the first meeting and significantly less and less information at each successive meeting,” Jakeway said. “There has been incomplete feedback of updated information, until the fifth meeting when the only options remaining were to reject or to putt the ball up the carpeted strip and into the predetermined cup.” Jakeway said the budget is “a disservice to Campbell River taxpayers” and guaranteed that history would prove his statement to be correct. “To the public, everything I have said previ-
ously, during and following financial committee meetings still applies,” Jakeway said. “When you get your tax notices in late May or early June...remember, just remember. Please hold council and senior staff accountable.” Coun. Andy Adams, who voted against the budget, said the past few months have been the most challenging and distressing of his term on council. A d a m s s p o ke at length about the problems with this year’s budget. He said there were three pots council could dip into to reduce the impact of the loss of revenue from Catalyst this year – taxation, service cuts and drawing on reserves. Adams has consistently advocated for a balance between all three, but last year that fell on deaf ears and council used $1.1 million from reserves to balance the budget. That money then had to be replaced this year, and contributed to the $3.6 million deficit for 2012. Adams said this year
the same mistakes are being made again. “What is proposed is a significant increase of 13.6 per cent, an unprecedented draw on reserves and onetime money in excess of $1.6 million and only $175,000 in permanent staffing reductions. There have been other minor reductions such as curb side yard waste collection reverting back to previous service levels, and a minor reduction in parks maintenance and flower beds but this is not a balance between the three pots,” Adams said. “No one likes to cut services or adversely impact on people’s jobs but we’re entrusted to look at all avenues, and leave no stone untur ned. Unfortunately, I do not believe we’ve done that.” Adams also set the record straight on what taxpayers are facing. “13.6 per cent is 13.6 per cent, not 7.1 (like city staff have said, after reduced user fees are factored in),” he said. “And it’s not just for this year, but in per-
petuity. It does not go away. If you’re trying to sell it as a bottom line to the taxpayer you should include the regional increase and the regional solid waste increase that members of this council also voted in favour of.” Coun. Ron Kerr was also critical of the budget and said more weight should have been given to the taxpayers. “We had an opportunity to change the operational culture of Campbell River with this budget – we failed,” he said. “One has to be living in denial to ignore the empty commercial buildings, the protesters’ desperation, and the pages of petitions that we see.” But it wasn’t all gloom and doom. Jakeway said good things came out of the budget process because council was challenged. “The apathy, 30 per cent turnout, of the last election has gone; the taxpayers have had a loud and clear voice; and the need to continue the all-out

efforts to reduce costs and challenge the status quo (emerged),” he said. Coun. Mary Storry also acknowledged the vast amount of participation from the public this year. “To the public – all the input, both supportive and critical of my position – I want you to know I have heard you and I will consider your concerns as we consider looking for efficiencies throughout this term,” Storry said. Adams also found a bright spot, praising previous councils for shifting the city’s reliance away from the heavy industrial tax base. “Can you imagine if previous councils had taken the same approach as North Cowichan or Por t Alberni and done nothing,” Adams said. “We would have been facing a $5.8 million problem today instead of a $1.8 million problem. The good news is we are no longer dependent on a single, major industry.”

Our View
Sad time for students These are not good times for those teachers who dedicate their time to sports teams, drama clubs and other important We say: BCTF’s extracurricular school activities. It’s worse still, for the students who latest manouever devote themselves to these pursuits, just ends up and in them, find true enjoyment and even scholastic benefit such as punishing kids scholarships. Thanks to the BC Teachers’ Federation and its members who gave their voting support last week, the remainder of this school year is now a washout
for thousands of young athletes and a wide variety of school clubs. After last week’s vote in support of the withdrawal of all extracurricular activities by teachers, even high school graduation and prom activities are in question. Parents may be able to step up and save the latter, without the participation of teachers. We sincerely hope so, since it would be an immense travesty if some students had one of the most important events of their public education experience taken from them by a union intent on twisting the government’s will to its agenda.
The BCTF refrain that “it’s about the kids” rings hollow with this latest manoeuver, which just punishes kids, as well as the teachers who made a commitment to those young people at the start of the school year. Not enough can be said about the courageous few – including several in Abbotsford – who are willing to keep running their extracurricular activities despite the vote. Every teacher should have that choice, without pressure from union or colleagues. After all, they’re volunteering, aren’t they? – Black Press

Gasoline rip-off There was a time when we use to drive an extra two or three blocks to save two cents on a gallon of gasoline. I, for the life of me, cannot figure out why Campbell Riverites are not driving to Courtenay for their fuel? The price in Campbell River is $1.35.9/liter and at Safeway in Courtenay it is $1.22.9 that’s a whopping 60-cents-a-gallon difference. My truck holds 18 gallons and a tidy tank of 100 gallons, every trip to Courtenay saves me $70 a fill over Campbell River prices. Kamloops has the lowest prices at $1.18.9/ liter but hardly worth the drive. If I were going by you can bet I’d have a 218-gallon capacity in my truck. Campbell Riverites are being ripped off as it hardly costs 13 cents a liter more to transport fuel from Courtenay to here. The retailers here would be better off to buy their fuel from Courtenay retailers than the local wholesalers.

Two new hospitals won’t result in better health care
Paul Rudan No, really
Earlier this year I wrote that “we” – the collective we – should reconsider the decision to build two new hospitals. My opinion was based on my own experience in hospital combined with the opinions of the many health care professionals I spoke with; the vast majority of whom said one hospital would be better. The column brought a lot of response from people on both sides of the fence. All had valid views, but it was soon afterwards when I heard the “writing was on the wall” and there was no going back on the two-hospital option. Well, so be it, the decision has been made and two hospitals we shall
have. Let me say this first, this was a political decision that will not result in better or improved health care for residents on the upper half of Vancouver Island. How can they possibly provide better health care when you split up services, combined with competing fundraisers who try to out-do each other in getting the latest and greatest, and quite expensive, medical equipment for each hospital? Yup, the tug-o-war between Campbell River and the Comox Valley never seems to cease. This was a political decision because people wanted the status quo no matter if it cost them an extra hundred million dollars or more to
build two new hospitals. It makes me wonder why taxpayers in Campbell River are quibbling over an extra $136 or so a year for municipal taxes when they’re going to be gouged for decades on repaying the hospital debt? And you might want to consider that hospital bill the next time you’re trying to find a parking spot anywhere near the Campbell River Hospital. Trust me, you’ll have plenty of time to think it over as you endlessly circle the merry-go-round of traffic that will only get worse once construction starts on the new hospital. It’s so bad now that one day as I waited for an elderly lady to pull out, the line-up of traffic started passing me on the right and cutting off her so
that she couldn’t pull out. When I finally tooted my horn at one passer, the female driver actually gave me the finger. The woman was in her 60s! I think a live video camera and website should be set up so we can watch the fistfights that will inevitably ensue. However, I’m ranting. What’s done is done and I’m sure the new hospitals will be very clean and you will find that parking space provided you have the exact change. For the sake of the patients, I can only hope the food is better at the new hospital too. One last point I’ll pass along, based on my own experience: Don’t ever get sick.

Drug dealer awaits sentencing fate He could go to jail or be placed under house arrest PAUL RUDAN
CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
A refor med drug dealer who was prepared to go to jail is still awaiting his fate. A three-hour-long sentencing hearing Wednesday wasn’ t enough time for the judge to hear all the submissions from lawyers in the case against Anthony (Tony) Presidente. Lengthy submissions by defence lawyer Peter Hertzberg were cut off by Justice Murray Blok at 5 p.m., as the judge had to catch a ferry back to the Lower Mainland, so he could hand down another decision Thursday morning in New Westminster.
Submissions to the Mirror
That means Presidente, 37, will remain free on bail until the next supreme court sitting in Campbell River, which doesn’t start until May 28. Justice Blok declined to sentence Presidente by video conferencing, and gave no reason for his decision. Presidente was arrested Jan. 26, 2010, following a RCMP raid at his home in the 500 block of Hilchey Rd. Of ficers found a smorgasbord of drugs in the house along with $8,200 in cash and another $474 in American bills. The drugs included 35 grams of cocaine, 168 grams of hashish, 125 grams of marijuana, 56 grams of magic mushrooms, 35 hits of LSD, 31 capsules of ecstasy, eight grams of powdered ecstasy, 10 morphine capsules and 10 tabs of dilaudid. Police also seized “score sheets” which kept track of drug tabs,
d r u g - c o n t a m i n at e d digital scales, and a cell phone which had text orders for cocaine. “He was trafficking cocaine,” Hertzberg told the court. “(It was) an opportunistic enterprise sought to supplement his declining income.” The defence lawyer said Presidente acquired the ecstasy through a trade and used the drug for recreational pur poses or gave it to his adult friends. “There’s no suggestion he sold ecstasy to younger people,” said Hertzberg. At a earlier court date, Presidente avoided a trial when he pleaded guilty to two counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking – the cocaine and ecstasy – and four counts of simple possession. Until then, he had no previous criminal record. Federal Crown prosecutor Paul Corbett said
a fit sentence for Presidente was nine months jail, plus forfeiture of all the cash and drugs. A restricted firearm, a tactical rifle, and ammunition were also seized during the raid, but Corbett noted they were properly licensed and stored. Corbett said the rifle and bullets can be returned, but not to Presidente who faces a mandatory 10-year firearms prohibition due to the trafficking conviction. Her tzberg, however, recommended a one-year conditional sentence order which would allow Presidente to maintain his business while remaining under either house arrest or curfew. Presidente is the owner of Black Rose Tattoo in Courtenay, and employs three people. He currently rents a home in Cumberland and owns another home in Campbell River.
Hertzberg said Presidente earns a modest income from the business and if he was jailed he could lose his business and his home. “Mr. Presidente is unlikely to re-offend,” said Hertzberg. “He has suffered shame… (and) he’s disrespected his family by his conduct.” The lawyer added the bust and arrest were a “wake-up call” for Presidente who now realizes the harm drug dealing can do through addiction, violence and property crime. “He knew what he was doing was wrong, but he didn’t consider the consequences,” said Hertzberg. “He’s turned his life completely around…and has accepted responsibility for his conduct.” A new date to complete the sentencing has yet to be set. Judge Blok indicated it will likely take another two hours.

Councillor issues warning about polarization KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Council needs to put aside its differences and be more flexible or risk breaking down, says one city councillor. Coun. Andy Adams expressed those concerns Tuesday night in a lengthy speech opposing this year’s budget, which comes with a 13. 6 per cent residential tax increase. “My greatest concern is council becomes polarized by association and positions or votes are done by alliance, losing sight of the issue at hand,� Adams said at this week’s council meeting. “We have all seen and heard of councils that have deteriorated to this and it’s not a pretty picture for council or the community.� Lines were drawn after council was split, 4-3, on the tax hike. On one side were councillors Ryan Mennie, Claire Moglove, Larry Samson and Mary Storry while on the other were councillors Adams, Ron Kerr, and Mayor Walter Jakeway. “As we proceeded through meetings, comments were made that council was divided into two camps – four against three,� Adams said. “I can only say that from my perspective, it’s felt more like four, two, and one and I’m the one. I have consistently made motions to try and find a balance between two philosophical extremes. Only two other councillors have demonstrated willingness to find some middle ground. This has to change.� Storry seemed taken aback by Adams’ comments and worried about the public’s perception. “There was concern about a fractured council,� Storry said. “I want to put these concerns to rest and obviously Coun.

and I will have to discuss this some more. Although we’ve not all agreed on motions brought forward, during deliberations t h e r e h ave been (decisions) around human resourcing that were u n a n i m o u s , Coun. issues around Adams service reductions that were supported by members of council and supported by Your Worship (the mayor). Although individually we may not have received support for various reductions we had wished for, I do not believe council’s decision making will
be adversely impaired and I think that we will be able to move forward in a co-operative manner.� But some councillors have painted a different picture. Kerr said earlier this month that it sometimes Andy feels like a tug of war between new versus old. “I think to a certain degree, there is a power struggle on council between the incumbents and the newbies. But I believe in working together, it’s the only way we can do this. It can’t be adversarial.� Moglove said she
does not see it as a power struggle. “I think it’s more a philosophical difference of opinion,� she said. “Besides which, one of the new councillors, councillor Samson, voted for the budget and one of the three-term councillors, Adams, voted against. I think we all sort of agree that what we need to do is encourage more businesses and people to come to Campbell River and I think there’s a difference of opinion on how to do that.� After council emerged divided on the tax increase, Jakeway fuelled the fire by advocating for a tax
revolt against council. Moglove said at the time, she was disappointed by Jakeway’s comments as it was his responsibility, as mayor, to speak in support of council’s majority decision. Adams said Tuesday night he was also troubled by Jakeway’s comments. “I’m challenged by some of the actions of the mayor,� he said. “Council chambers are to be respected and the position of mayor is to lead the council and to

Jakeway, for his part, denied his suggestions were illegal. “I don’t propose anything in contravention of the Community Charter or provincial legislation,� he said. As for the likelihood of council working together? “I think they can, once we change the topic,� Jakeway said. “We’ll be fine. Money is always a contentious issue.�

Tories to overhaul Canada’s Fisheries Act KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Minister Keith Ashfield. “The Institute re m a i n s s t ro n g ly opposed to changing or altering (the act).” Ashfield announced Tuesday the Conservative gover nment intends to alter its approach to fishery laws, giving priority to vital waterways that are home to important species. The announcement comes after weeks of speculation that changes were coming. “We want to adopt a sensible and practical approach to managing real and significant threats to fisheries and the habitat that supports them while minimizing the restrictions on routine, everyday activities that have little to no impact on the productivity of Canada’s fisheries,” Ashfield said in a press release. “Current rules protecting fish and fish habitat go beyond their intended conser-
vation goals.” Ashfield said the laws are “indiscriminate” and place the same amount of importance on all bodies of water that bear fish, regardless of size, environment or contribution to a fishery. He said due to the existing rules, there have been cases where farmers were unable to clean out their irrigation channels, municipalities were delayed in repairing bridge supports, businesses were prevented from clearing flooded fields and campsites, and cottage owners prohibited from keeping their properties. But Peter Woods, director for Greenways Land Trust, said he is concerned the changes will weaken the “strongest environmental legislation” in the country. He said the section of the act that protects habitat was added in 1986 under the Brian Mulroney gover nment, but before that
protection for fish habitat was nearly non-existent. “For example, the e n t i re fo re s h o re, intertidal area near Shoppers Row was filled in to accommodate parking lots, malls and roadways,” Woods said. “If habitat provisions were in place at that time, Campbell River would have one of the most s c e n i c d ow n t ow n a re a s i n B r i t i s h Columbia while still maintaining its foreshore habitat.” Woods said that changing the act could open the door fo r d eve l o p m e n t s into areas that have been protected for 26 years. The NDP said the changes will allow the Conservatives to fasttrack major development projects, such as those involving oil and gas. “ We k n ow t h a t these changes will have major implications for our coastal Continued on A13

If you have $1 million or more in investment assets, your ¿nancial situation is more complex than the average Canadian.
You pay higher taxes and have a higher standard of living. Maybe you are a business owner with an interest in a private corporation.

Body found near Mt. Wash A body found near the base of Mount Washington is believed to be that of a missing Saanich woman. Comox Valley RCMP found a body Wednesday evening near the car of Shirley Burstall, who’s been missing, but police have not con-
firmed the identity. “Our investigators have been in contact with the Saanich police who have been in contact with the Burstall family in Victoria,” said Staff Sgt. Andrew Isles of the Comox Valley RCMP. “Again, we’re not able
to make a positive identification, but wanted to alert them that we had found a woman that could possibly be their loved one.” The 75-year-old left her home on March 31, after an apparent disagreement with family. She was last seen on
April 5 in Ladysmith and was reportedly on her way to Tofino. Burstall’s car was found late Monday afternoon on a road just off the Strathcona Parkway leading to Mount Washington, prompting an extensive search.
No new time for crime A man who received a ninemonth jail sentence won’t be spending any extra time behind bars. William Reedel pleaded guilty to possession of stolen property on Monday in Campbell River provincial court. However, he’s already serving an 18-month jail sentence for crimes committed
on Quadra Island and the new nine months will run concurrently. Reedel was in possession of a digital camera stolen from a Black Creek residence last October. About a week later, Reedel pawned the camera in Campbell River, but the owner later identified it when he went into the same shop to buy a new camera.

Green thumb keeps on giving back to his community KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
The expression ‘pay it forward’ has perhaps never meant more to one person than it does to Rory Clark. The former logger worked in the industry for 35 years before suffering a back injury on the job after falling while hauling a 90-pound block on his back. Clark wound up addicted to painkillers – the start of his downward spiral. Last year, the Mirror caught up with Clark after he had kicked his addiction and was giving back to the Salvation Army, which housed and fed him during the dark days. Clark had be gun a crusade to clean up the Cedar Street area around the Salvation Army Lighthouse Centre and the Rexall-North Island Pharmacy beside JJ’s Pub. Clark was pulling weeds, shaping shrubs and planting flowers at his own expense.
KRISTEN DOUGLAS/THE MIRROR
Rory Clark spruces up the Cedar Street area with his flowers just outside the Salvation Army Lighthouse Centre, which helped him get back on his feet after losing his job.
Fast forward one year later, and Clark is back at it. He says he comes by every day to weed out the flower beds
and plant and water colourful daffodils and geraniums. It’s all part of the healing process. “I was staying at the
shelter so it’s part of giving back,” Clark says. “It gives me peace of mind and takes your mind off your problems.”
He also finds gardening therapeutic and appreciates when people take notice of his work. “Everybody walks by
and says it looks really good and clean around here now,” Clark says. Some of have been so impressed, that they’ve hired him to work in their yards – his only source of income. Clark just finished a five-day job at the home of a woman who works at the Salvation Army shelter. “I ripped one garden apart and re-did it all – I took everything out of it,” Clark says. “There was a rosebush all matted in there and growing really thick so I took that out, trimmed it, and replanted it.” He also limbed a seven-foot tree so the woman could see out her window. Clark has also cut and raked the lawns of several others within the last year; he finds his customers through word of mouth and referrals. Clark charges $12 an hour for his yard work and landscaping services and is hoping for more work. He
also has a long-term plan to get back into logging, now that he’s clean and living in his own apartment. But for now, he’ll keep at his work on Cedar Street. He’s expecting a big donation of dirt which will help clean up one of the large garden beds outside Rexall. Clark also wants to add to a memorial garden he created in honour of his friend, Brian Smith, who died about a year ago and was a friend to him for 20 years. A plague, in tribute to Smith, hangs on the siding of the Lighthouse Centre and Clark planted a shrub in the dirt below. “I just want everybody to remember him,” Clark says. “That’s the start of a memorial, other people can put up plaques there too.” C l a rk s ay s h e hopes his efforts will brighten up a gloomy part of the city that helped him to see the light.

Campbell River Living Founding father of North Island dog agility remembered JO-ANNE COLLIS SPECIAL TO THE MIRROR
“Agility is a fun sport for dogs and the owners. The dogs have to go over, or through, a variety of obstacles. There are few dogs that do not enjoy jumping, running through tunnels or climbing up obstacles. This is a sport for all dogs.” – This is a direct quote taken from a news article written by Ian Pate in the fall of 1993,19 years ago. A few of us who saw that article, took him up on that invitation and began taking weekly classes. It quickly became an all season sport for us, as we never worried very much about the weather. We became hooked on Pate’s passion for his dogs and the sport. The more instruction and interaction, the

Ian Pate and some of his canine friends take a break from practising the sport of dog agility. Pate is recognized as the founding father of the sport on the North Island.
more engaged our small group became. However, Pate did not believe in keeping
the group small. He wanted more involvement, more dog people involved. He felt it was
a captivating sport in so many ways for both handler and dog. Confidence, strength
of character, discipline, and just plain fun, made it an extremely worthwhile
activity. Why not get out and advertise? What better way to share and spread the sport was to take it out to the community. We hauled his equipment to many places: demos were given in the Ironwood Mall, the Comox Valley Fair, and Willow Point Days in the field beside Woofies. Scotty Stewart would even share in the fun having his border collies herd his ducks through the course. The RCMP Musical Ride accepted Pate’s offer of participation when they came to Campbell River in 2001 in a Hoof and Woof. Classes moved around from his backyard, to the playground of Discovery Passage School, and the horsebarn on Shetland. Dog agility was now starting to grow on the North Island because of
TM
Pate’s efforts. Dog agility was just what Pate needed now that he had retired. Life became meaningful for him once again. Little did he know that through his passion, determination and hard work, he sowed the seed deeply in our souls. His passion had become ours. His love of his dogs and brilliant training of Sara and Becky had ignited the fire. Due to Pate’s passion and determination, the Agility Association of Canada (AAC) has blossomed on the North Island. When Pate registered his dog Becky in 1993, her AAC registered number was 809. Now registered numbers are close to 20,000. On the North Island, our dogs and their handlers thank Pate for the wonderful activity he Continued on A21

What is a Green Cone?
CVRD
PROCESS
Takes all types of food waste - meat, dairy, bones, vegetables basically everything from the kitchen table. It's easy to install, the hardest thing is digging a shallow (2') hole. All it needs is decent drainage and sunlight. No need to turn it, or empty it more than once every few years. Using solar heat in combination with macro bacterial activity it breaks down waste aerobically into nutrient rich water that is absorbed into the soil, and a very small amount of residue. An enclosed system means it doesn't emit odors. Accommodates all of the food waste of an average family of four or five.

Children’s Choir: Holding auditions May 12
Join community band ‘at the movies’ May 4
Continued from A22 of the world’s most famous concert halls is an experience that will stay with them forever and it certainly made the many hours of rehearsal, fund raising and practice all worth while. “We were so lucky to have the support of our community,” said director Barbara Prowse. “ Many businesses, community groups and individuals gave time, money and provided opportunities to help us make the trip happen and we are so grateful for their contributions. Our red and white “Canada” coats from Daybreak Rotary kept the singers visible and together walking through the bustling streets and on the subway in Manhattan. The singers’ performance is something that should make the whole community feel proud. Our singers can hold their own in an international event.” In addition to singing at the festival the singers visited the 9/11 Memorial, Ellis Island and the statue of Liberty, saw a Broadway show and visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It was an action packed five days. The choir will be holding auditions this May for interested youth in the community who would like to sing. Singers who will be in grade three next year and older students can arrange an audition time by calling Joanna at 250-202-7464. For more information about the choir you can visit the website at www.crchildrenschoir.ca For those who wish to hear the choir, the final concert will be presented Saturday, May 12 at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church at 8 p.m. Tickets are $13 and available at the Music Plant.
If you enjoyed the Campbell River Community Band’s survey of TV themes last spring, join them at the movies on Friday, May 4. Music of the Big Screen features some of the most popular film music ever written, from as far back as Walt Disney’s Song of the South (Zip--A-Dee-Doo-Dah) right up to last year’s Academy Award winner The King’s Speech. The concert, with conductor Céline Ouellette, begins at 7:30 in the Carihi multi-purpose room (next to the gym). Tickets for the concert are $5, or $12 for a family, and are available from band members or at the door. John Williams has composed so many wonderful film scores that it was hard to find music not written by him. He is represented at this concert by music from Star Wars and Schindler’s List as well as the Olympic fanfare. Henry Mancini is another great in the film music world. Mancini Spectacular features themes from Moon River, Charade, Dear Heart, Peter Gunn, and the Baby Elephant walk from Hatari. Every band concert needs a march. Fortunately one of Kenneth Alford’s best marches, Colonel Bogey, became a hit when it was whistled by the prisoners of war in The Bridge on the River Kwai. The Campbell River Community Band has been together for sixteen years, mostly under the baton of founding director Céline Ouellette. The band rehearses together once a week from September to May.

get as they shared the “spirit of Aloha” with their ukuleles. In addition to the scheduled performances at prestigious resorts such as the Keauhou Beach Resort and the Kona Royal Sea Cliff Resort, several impromptu performances kept the group busy aside from the customary sight-seeing. All performances were very well received and impressed audiences who have never heard our “Canadian” style of ukulele playing. The playing style and variety of music that the students presented was a marked contrast to the more customary “sing and strum” styles of most groups. Many of the locals were surprised at the skill level of the group. They were also impressed by how well they performed the Hawaiian numbers. One of the many highlights of the musical tour was the interaction between the students and their Hawaiian counterparts at Kealakehe Intermediate School

(grades 6-8) at Kailua-Kona. There, the students not only performed for the Hawaiian students, but also taught them a new song which both groups played together, a blending of the two styles of ukulele playing. The group’s two young hula dancers had a special opportunity to have a private seesion with a respected hula instructor, “Kanani,” learning the gracious moves of the classic Hawaiian hula. This friendly and welcoming atmosphere towards the students was evident throughout their stay on the Big Island. Other highlights included seeing the volcano park and the Kiluaea crater, the rainforest at Akaka Falls, swimming with the sea turtles and manta rays, and visiting some historical spots that reflect the early Hawaiian culture. This year’s tour is the sixth tour to Hawaii for the Pacifica Ukes, under the direction of music directors, Vince and Charlene Sequeira.

Museum to host historical conference
The Museum at Campbell River is pleased to be hosting the annual British Columbia Historical Federation (BCHF) Conference this year. The conference takes place from May 3-6, with over 80 delegates attending. “We’re very excited about having the BCHF members hold their conference here”, said Museum Associate Director Sandra Parrish. “This is a special year for them, it being their 90th Anniversary.” The federation first approached the Museum in 2009, and planning for the event began a year ago, after Museum employees Sandra Parrish and Catherine Gilbert attended the BCHF Conference in Powell River. Delegates come from all over the province, and several indicated that they had never been to the Museum or to Campbell River before.

Drive Smart BC Five Dollar Head, Five Dollar Helmet
2X14
The observation “five dollar head, five dollar helmet” used to be common in traffic law enforcement referring to motorcycle riders who wore beanie style helmets that would provide little or no protection in a crash. Today, that observation could be extended to those who choose to ride a bicycle with inadequate protection. What would that say about the value of a head that was not protected at all? If you wear, or make sure that your children under the age of 16 wear a proper bicycle helmet when cycling you are following the law. In either case, you will not be liable to a $29 fine and one of your most valuable possessions will be afforded some protection. That protection may apply equally to a crash that you cause yourself or a crash where someone drivers or rides into you. Too many rules in our society today? One should be able to choose to do what they want to, right? To some extent you may be right, but if you expect society to look after you when you are injured in a cycling incident is it not reasonable to expect society to count on you to take steps to minimize the need for help from everyone else? Unless you are exempt from wearing a bicycle helmet, think of it the same way you do your seatbelt. That safety device has evolved from something few wanted to wear to a better than 95% wearing rate in B.C. today. Attitudes can change if there is a good reason for the change. My head is worth more than $5 to me, so I choose to wear a helmet when I cycle. The author is a retired constable with many years of traffic enforcement experience.

With heart-felt apologies to English teachers everywhere--spring has sprung, the grass has riz...and we all want to know where our Ravens is! The Campbell River Windsor Plywood Bantam Ravens have started the 2012 season off with two key games. On Sunday April 15 the team travelled to Port Alberni for the first game of the season. After several practices at the outdoor lacrosse box, Raven players ran the floor like there was no tomorrow. Port Alberni had played and lost the day before so they came out with reckless abandon which made for a very exciting game. Port Alberni was led by two offensive dynamos who ultimately accounted for all of their goals while the Ravens put forward a relatively balanced attack. Port Alberni opened the scoring with a wicked shot that goalie Thomas Dunn almost stopped. They scored again quickly after that for a 2-0 lead but the Ravens showed that they’re not going to go quietly into the season as they started to work on their motion offence, moving and supporting the ball just like they do in practice. Hard work creates its’ own good fortune as Reilly Doney demonstrated on the Ravens first goal of the season, bringing the score to 2-1. Both teams added a pair of goals each with the first period ending 4-3 in favour of Port Alberni. During the break, head coach Todd Fair and assistant coach Ken Doney reviewed proper checking technique. This helped revitalize the Ravens more than a red beverage ever could and they returned for the second period full of vim and vigour. Teams traded chances with the Ravens scoring one goal more than Port Alberni to end the second
tied at 7. After a brief respite, Port Alberni sensed they had the Ravens on the ropes and opened the third period with a flurry of counter-attacks and late changes to spring open players on breakaways. They scored three goals in relatively quick succession before the Ravens started to pick up the open man and look to the opposing bench for late changes. While employing strong defence, the Ravens began to make the most of their offensive chances. Connor Ludvigson scored on a shot-clock buzzer-beater, assisted by Nolan Fair; score 10-8 in favour of Port Alberni. The Ravens have a bit of magic between the two Nolans as demonstrated when Nolan Fair passed to Nolan Morrison for the ninth Ravens goal. The comeback continued with Doney scoring the tying goal after a nice assist from Dawson Brown with less than two minutes left in the game. This might have been the first loss of the season if it wasn’t for the efforts of Ross Rickman. With seconds remaining on the scoreboard, one of the Port Alberni scoring machines had the ball at mid-court, bringing it up and intent on breaking the deadlock. Rickman gave away quite a bit in height and weight but nothing in terms of effort and desire. He used his body and proper technique to angle the ball-carrier as best he could and then ensured the other player couldn’t get off a quality shot, thus preserving the well-earned tie. Sunday April 22 had the Ravens playing at home against Cowichan Valley (CV). The final score was 11-7 in favour of the Ravens. The Windsor Plywood Bantam Ravens play a double-header against Peninsula 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Saturday at Rod Brind’Amour Arena.

Streaming bird cams capture nest life It’s a whole new world…for most of us unfamiliar with the secret life of a bird nest. A new language must be learned, with terms like eyas (hawk h at ch l i n g ) , a e r i e (eagle nest), pip (first crack in hatching egg), or hallux (rearfacing bird toe). The hatching process takes 50 hours from first pip, in the case of red-tailed hawks. There’s just no rushing nature, which, in the hawk’s case, has the power to keep over 8,000 viewers enthralled for weeks on end. Holding court at

Tempranillo are deep blue-black berries, high in colour and extract, with delicate aromas. Cabernet Sauvignon’s small berries yield high tannins and intense structure, while Monastrell adds grip, earthiness and ripe red fruit. Lush, tannic and complex, with intense black fruit flavours of black cherry, raspberry, black currant and notes of plums and tobacco, the wine takes gracefully to oak, adding layers of vanilla, cedar and rich coffee nuances.
