PETER SCHWARZHOFF/SPECIAL TO THE MIRROR

Dysfunctional, distant, inexperienced, and slow. Those are the words regional directors used to describe the Strathcona Regional District during an audit of the organization. Directors were interviewed by Susan Gee from Acumen Communications as part of a communications review conducted last October.

The Coast Guard vessel Cape Palmerston pulls up to the cruise ship Volendam for a medical evacuation on Tuesday night.

Elderly man medevaced from cruise ship PAUL RUDAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A B.C. man was successfully medevaced from a cruise ship off Campbell River Tuesday night. The 83-year-old man was suffering from an unknown medical problem when the ship’s doctor advised he be treated at hospital.

GET YOURS WITH

The man was aboard the southbound Volendam when Coast Guard was called around 7:30 p.m. to assist with the transfer. Two ambulance paramedics joined the Coast Guard aboard the Cape Palmerston which sped out to meet the Holland America Line ship just off Cape Mudge. The elderly man was lowered

8,250

to the water line in a life boat, transferred to the Cape Palmerston which then returned to the Discovery Harbour dock. He was then taken by ambulance to Campbell River Hospital. As of Thursday, his condition was unknown. “They felt it was prudent to get him off the boat,” said Phillip

Hawkins, officer-in-chief of the Cape Palmerston. Hawkins added this type of medical evacuation is not uncommon and this transfer went very well because there was still daylight and the sea was calm. “Usually these things happen under the cover of darkness,” said Hawkins.

Regional district: Slow, inexperienced Continued from A1 Anderson, John MacDonald, and former board member Corrine Dahling provided input. All of those directors represent different areas and that’s a problem, Gee found in her report. “Several directors stated that the board operated in a dysfunctional manner, with certain members becoming openly angry during meetings,” Gee wrote in the audit. “Because each member represents an area that is distant from his/ her colleagues there is little understanding of the need to support or assist one another. Currently each director is looking out for his/her own area, but not necessarily lending support when funding or programs may be needed in a different area of the district.” Gee said one director freely admitted he sees little worth in communication programs for the regional district and feels most district-wide services that require funding from his community

are unwanted. Communication with outside companies and groups isn’t much better. “When asked what words best describe the district’s reputation with its stakeholders, directors used the words slow, inexperienced, distant and nonexistent,” Gee said. Relations with First Nations are especially strained. “Some (directors) expressed fr ustration with prior failed attempts to build relationships, while others say that as a group the board has a lack of understanding regarding First Nations culture, governance and engagement,” Gee said. “One director said he felt ‘the idea of engagement with these communities is 30 years too late. The SRD is very far behind other districts in connecting with First Nations.’” The audit also revealed that directors believe people have little knowledge of the regional district and what services it provides. Thirty-eight organi-

zations that work with the regional district were also interviewed in the audit. In remote communities and with smaller organizations, t h e f e e d b a ck w a s strongly positive, while feedback from larger organizations, like the Comox Valley Regional District, implied there is room for improvement. “The Comox Valley Regional District said they would like to see more collaboration on the co-promotion of programs and initiatives (such as) solid waste and water rebates,” Gee said. “The district’s messages and strategies are not clear to their stakeholders. During one-on-one interviews stakeholders identified themselves as champions, leaders and promoters of the SRD’s communications efforts.” A majority of outside org anizations interviewed reported it often takes a long time to hear back from the regional district re g arding projects or initiatives, or that responses arrive at the

last minute. Gee said “all stakeholders described the district’s public reputation as unknown, unfamiliar and low profile. Some SRD directors were also identified as challenging.” But the news wasn’t all bad. A total of 87 per cent of stakeholders said they felt the Strathcona Regional District is providing opportunities to consult with them and a majority of online respondents to the audit reported that information from the regional district is project-specific and communicated while a project is active. Stakeholders had mostly positive comments regarding regional district staff, Gee said. The audit also included recommendations to remedy the key issues. To solve the lack of federation between directors, Gee suggests directors

take part in learning sessions facilitated by senior bureaucrats from other district boards. To re pair strained First Nations relations, Gee recommends directors learn and take an interest in First Nations culture, governance and communication. To resolve issues surrounding the flow of information Gee recommends: creating a new communications department; conducting a workshop that examines the Strathcona Regional District organization and what it does; and creating a new district website that uses video and social media and provides information for residents. Regional district staff will submit a followup report to the board i d e n t i f y i n g wh i ch recommendations are achievable this year and those which will be brought forward in future years.

Changes to Dogwood and Alder proposed A document that suggests changes to Dogwood and Alder streets was approved by council last week. The Master Transportation Plan was adopted by city council at its meeting May 29. The plan is supposed to serve as a guide for the next 10 years for the city’s transportation planning and investment decisions. Creating the plan has been a two-year long process that has included public meetings, a steering committee and Urban Systems consulting firm. “The plan includes a review of the existing community transportation systems and next steps for all forms of transportation within the community that include pedestrians, cyclists, transit and vehicles,” said Drew Hadfield, the city’s transportation manager. The plan suggests adding dedicated left-turn lanes on Dogwood Street at Merecroft Road, Evergreen Road, 2nd, 4th, 7th and 16th avenue intersections in order to improve traffic flow. On Alder Street, the plan recommends installing traffic lights, or roundabouts, at the Alder and 2nd Avenue intersection as well as at Merecroft Road and Alder. It also suggests curb extensions at all major intersections and crosswalks along Alder, as well as sidewalks along both sides of the entire street. Finally, to help control the volume of traffic along Alder, the plan recommends signage at the Dogwood and Alder street intersection encouraging drivers to use Dogwood as the primary route to downtown, as opposed to Alder.

Campbell River’s Markus Huber is the lucky winner of last week’s LOTTO MAX draw. Huber won more than $437,000 off a ticket he bought at Save On Foods.

Campbell River gold panner strikes it rich Panning for gold may be a hobby for Campbell River resident Markus Huber, but buying a LOTTO MAX ticket each week has paid off. Huber matched six of seven numbers plus the Extra to win $437,288.20 on the June 1 draw. T he 48-year-old marine mechanic was paying bills on Saturday morning when he discovered he was a winner. His wife, Cindy, was checking winning numbers online and noticed there was a big winner in Campbell River. “She called out to me ‘Markus it’s you! You’re the big winner!’ I didn’t believe her, so she kept repeating it to me,” he said. The winning ticket was purchased at Save On Foods in Campbell River and validated at the Merville General Store. “Cindy took a picture of the screen showing the big win amount and texted family with the photo,” he said. “Everyone was blown

away.” Huber says playing LOTTO MAX is a hobby, similar to his favourite pastimes of building various things and gold panning. It’s definitely a hobby he intends to keep. “I will still buy LOTTO MAX tickets… I already bought one yesterday for this Friday’s draw,” he said. Despite concer ns from his boss that he might quit his job, the father of three said he intends to keep working. He said he’ll spend some of his winnings on a new car, gifts for his kids and a visit with overseas family, and save the rest for bills and retirement plans. “We’ll live a little better now,” Huber said. LOTTO MAX can be played at all lottery retail locations and online at PlayNow.com, with tickets available until 6 p.m. on draw day (Friday). Winning numbers and group release forms can be found online at www. bclc.com

‘Neglected’ downtown gets sidewalk cleaner Improvement Association and Campbellton First. But other councillors felt Kerr’s motion was forcing the Downtown BIA into agreements it doesn’t have. “Are we, by saying ‘you must do this, you must do that’ before selling it to them for $1, putting restrictions on them that we shouldn’t be?” Coun. Larry Samson asked. Coun. Andy Adams agreed Kerr’s motion was too restrictive. “I’m also uncomfortable with the motion when there’s no agreement I’m aware of between those parties,” Adams said. But Tees said the Downtown BIA has already agreed to share the sidewalk sweeper and its costs with the Pier Street Association. Coun. Claire Moglove said she was “fairly confident” the Downtown BIA could work out similar arrangements with the Willow Point and Campbellton groups, but that it should be up to the Downtown BIA to negotiate. In the end, council voted to give the machine to the Downtown and Pier Street BIAs for one year. Adams said that would allow the groups to try out the equip-

Downtown business owners say the city is neglecting parts of the downtown core and are taking matters into their own hands. Jan Tees, secretary and events co-ordinator for the Downtown BIA (Business Improvement Association) said downtown sidewalks have not been cleaned in four years. “Walking through town today was disheartening – dirty sidewalks, garbage and leaves in the gutters, dandelions sprouting from cracks in the sidewalk – it looks neglected,” Tees said in a letter to council dated April 30. “Last spring we held a cleanup but obviously the sidewalks need to be cleaned more often.” To remedy the problem, Tees asked council if it would donate an unused city sidewalk cleaner to the Downtown BIA. Coun. Ron Kerr said at last week’s council meeting he was more than willing to give the machine to the Downtown BIA for just $1 on the condition it’s also made available to the city’s other neighbourhood improvement groups – Pier Street Association, the Willow Point Business

ment – which the city struggled to use – and give it back if need be. Dave Morris, city manager of facilities and supplies, confirmed the machine was not up to city standards. “It has been idle for some time because they didn’t find it to be the most effective way of completing the task and it’s maintenance intensive,” he said.

Our View

Vets deserve more support It’s troubling that Veterans Affairs Canada is downsizing its department, including the district office in Victoria, due to budget cuts. Unlike the days when much of its work dealt with the post-Second We say: Cuts to World War struggles and challenges faced by service personnel, Veterans Affairs Veterans Affairs today is seeing an come at a bad influx of people whose experience came in such theatres as Bosnia, time Rwanda, Afghanistan and various peacekeeping scenarios. For those engaged in combat roles, their experiences might be similar to those lived through

by their military predecessors. Yet the understanding today of the effects of posttraumatic stress disorder and other psychological illnesses is greater than the Second World War, when struggling Canadian servicemen were pigeonholed as having “battle exhaustion.” In true military fashion, Veteran Affairs insists none of its clients will be left behind as a result of the cuts. The union representing the workers argues that veterans will begin to fall through the cracks due to projected increases in already too-large caseloads for staff and the added time it will take to process client requests. As in all labour-employer disputes, the truth

probably lies somewhere in between. But the telling point in this conversation comes from the Royal Canadian Legion, which has done its best, given limited resources, to fill the void. They expect the next four or five years to produce more diagnosed cases of post-traumatic stress disorder than ever, a scenario which, if not addressed, could have devastating effects. The federal government needs to make cuts. But the decision to downsize the front-line operations not only sets a dangerous precedent, it’s a slap in the face to individuals who willingly and bravely served their country. – Black Press

Letters

Cause to shake your head This week’s local news has revealed more local government events that give one cause to shake their head. Local (tax paying) printers who might otherwise have made a little profit from a tax notice printing contract have unilaterally been denied that opportunity by local City bureaucrats who gave the printing contract to a Vancouver company (so much for keeping community dollars in the community). And, in order to ensure that these affronts can be perpetuated, councillor Mary Storry has presented a “stifle motion” to keep Mayor Jakeway from commenting further on the ineptitude and ineffectiveness of senior City managers and the attendant need to make changes - the very platform on which he was elected. And then, in a show of virtual solidarity (only councillor Ron Kerr voting against) council has supported a proposal by Dr. Charmaine Enns to provide free “crack-use kits” to local crack cocaine users in order to reduce their chances of inflicting personal harm from using sub-standard implements in the process of indulging in their illegal drug habit.

River City drivers are bad but there are worse

Paul Rudan No, really

It’s funny how we complain about “traffic” in Campbell River. “Oh my gawd! I had to wait forever at the Seventh Avenue lights...like for a minute! And then, just when I thought I was getting the green, a pedestrian, A PEDESTRIAN, pushes the damn button and it turns yellow!” And, for the record, this is an alltoo-common message texted from a “smart” phone, and Tweeted too, while driving along Dogwood Street. Then there are those who grumble about the Crawford Road morning crawl to the Island Highway; there are the old biddies who give you the finger while trying to park near the hospital; but few compare to the slowwitted who compete in the “Great

Campbell River Standoff.” Go see it for yourselves each Monday to Friday – morning, noon and quitting time – at the intersection of Alder Street and 2nd Avenue. They approach the four-way stop as if they had never seen a red stop sign ever before in their lives. And it’s not just one stop sign, it’s four! And what’s more, there are three other cars which just pulled up – all at once. The Great Standoff ensues. Eyes narrow, breaths become snorts, feet press heavily on well-worn brake pedals, and then some fool works up the courage to make a clean break through the intersection…matted… just hair-second as the guy to the left tries the same fool thing...hence the

well-worn brake pads. I’ll say it once: Right of way! Yep, we’re a sorry lot when it comes to driving in Campbell River, but we could be worse. Come with me and let’s take a drive, accompanied by the 2011 crash statistics provided by ICBC. First stop, downtown. According to the 2011 Canadian Census, the population of Campbell River proper was 31,196. In 2011, there were 1,640 crashes in the city resulting in 340 injured victims. Okay now, buckle up and let’s head south to the nearby Comox Valley. ICBC only provides statistics for Courtenay and Comox, but, what the heck, if we toss in Cumberland, the population for the three communities

is roughly 41,000. ICBC records show 1,780 crashes in Courtenay and another 560 in Comox, which injured, maimed or killed 550 people. That’s 670 more crashes than in the River City and 210 more wounded. No wonder the new Comox Valley hospital is going to be larger than ours. Let’s keep going and get through Nanaimo carefully (you don’t even want to know the numbers) and stop in Langford, pop. 29,228, which is similar to Campbell River. Langford had 90 fewer crashes than the River City in 2011, but they resulted in far more injuries: 110. Yikes! And the moral of the story is this: Don’t be a statistic.

FRIDAY, JUNE 8, 2012 | CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR |

Time to be constructive, Mr. Jakeway I’ve had enough of reading Mayor Walter Jakeway’s petulant and disparaging attacks week after week, and it is time people in Campbell River made it clear to him his tone is unacceptable and he needs to focus his attentions in a more productive fashion before he wreaks any more damage. As if his magnificently ill-conceived tax revolt wasn’t bad enough, I was truly aghast to learn about his inexplicable comments at the Rotary

lunch, and I am quite sure everyone there was wondering what on earth was he thinking? The answer is clear, he was not thinking at all. Even though our family is in the process of moving out of town, I could no longer continue to hear about his churlish comments without speaking up. And I am willing to bet that a great deal of people in Campbell River share my thoughts. The mayor is supposed to be in a leadership position and

among other things, this requires diplomacy, professionalism and a constructive, collaborative approach in all circumstances; Jakeway should be looking to help council function efficiently as a whole instead of pounding a wedge in it every chance he gets. And what kind of CEO inexplicably and incessantly takes every oppor tunity to attack his senior management? Anyone like that in the private sector wouldn’t last a week. I would love to

see what kind of moral and engagement levels exist at city hall with a mayor who is incapable of displaying even a modicum of leadership skills. During the election, it seemed Jakeway had no grasp on the reality that the mayor has in fact one vote, and he needs to curry favour to get things done by influencing and working with people in a positive, productive fashion. Not running around like a dictator about to be usurped. Mr. Jakeway, it is

time to be constructive, to start building bridges, not blowing them up. Otherwise, for everyone’s good, please think before you speak or just resign. You need to realize that all you’re doing is hurting Campbell River in a myriad of ways. Just think about someone entertaining the notion of moving to Campbell River, and then they Google the city and find articles about the brash, big mouth mayor constantly bashing the Continued on A11

It just keeps getting better, doesn’t it? Continued from A8 Joe citizen can now feel proud that his (increased) tax dollars are being used in part to subsidize illegal drug use and in the future his house/boat/ car/business will be vandalized by “safe” crack users. Perhaps we should go one

step further and eliminate drug-related crime altogether by providing “druggies” with their illegal drugs as well. And of course City managers can now relax knowing that the likelihood of any further candid opinions from the likes of Mayor Jakeway

are now greatly reduced as a result of councillor Storry’s brilliant motion against free speech. And local businesses can be proud that the contributions that they make to Campbell River through job creation and taxes are brushed off by City hall and

work that they could otherwise be awarded is given to faceless companies in Vancouver and elsewhere. It just keeps getting better doesn’t it? M.J. (Marv) Everett, Retired Campbell River

Summer Learning

June brings the excitement of graduation for our grade 12 students and thoughts of mocks, final exams and the countdown to summer for all. Parents and grads - be sure to check the Grad List which is posted on the Grad board in the school. If your son or daughter’s name is missing, please check with their grad advisor and/or the principal to find out what requirement needs attention. I would like to take the opportunity to recognize all of the individuals, groups, organizations and businesses who continually support our students. Each year our community is asked to assist our school and students in a variety of ways, and every year the citizens of Campbell River step up and meet our requests. We are truly fortunate to live in a wonderful, caring and generous community. On behalf of the staff and students, thank you. I would also like to say goodbye to our retiring staff. Each one of them has dedicated a large portion of their lives to the students and families of Carihi. Words cannot express our gratitude for all their efforts. I do know that all their contributions are appreciated and will continue to resonate through the walls of Carihi I wish all the best to the Carihi students, staff and families for a safe and restful summer and the continued pursuit of excellence for the rest of your lives.

A huge thank-you to Mrs. Knight and her cast of Honk for a fantastic musical! The show ran for 4 days and impressed audiences with their strong vocal performances and witty humour. Congratulations cast and crew! The Carihi year-end band concert was held on Wednesday, June 6th in the MultiPurpose Room and the audience was treated to an excellent performance by our Concert Band, Jazz Band and Jazz Combo. Thanks to Mr. Vining for his work with our band students this year. Special thanks to Mrs. Vining for organizing the tea and treats. Great job students!

Information for summer learning opportunities will be out shortly. Students will have the choice to enrol in regular Summer School courses or in eBlend online courses. We ask that students and families consult with their child’s counsellor regarding their graduation plan to see if summer learning is an appropriate option. Students who have not had success in one or more of their required courses should enrol in a summer program to ensure that they stay on track for their graduation plans. Please contact the school for more information regarding summer learning.

We are very glad to have had so many International Students with us –Davis Sprukts (Latvia), Cynthia Chiu and Phil Cheng (Taiwan), Andrew Wang and Jenny Lu (China), and Anja Astheimer and Annika Menges (Germany).

Carihi Hosts Student Exchange

It is that time of year again when all library books need to be returned! The final due date for the year is Tuesday, June 12, 2012. Please gather up any and all library materials you have at home and bring them in as soon as possible. Lost books must be paid for, and all outstanding overdues and/or fines appear on students’ final reports. Grade 12s must clear up all overdues and/or outstanding fines in order to graduate. Please email the teacher-librarian, Mrs. Betsy Muir, betsy. muir@sd72.bc.ca, if you have any questions or concerns. It has been a pleasure serving students this year! I encourage students to take advantage of the Vancouver Island Regional Library system over the summer and I look forward to seeing all returning students in September!

Carihi Secondary French Immersion Program is very fortunate to be part of a student exchange with Ecole Blomet of Paris, France. Last April, a group of 15 students and their teacher were hosted by 15 Campbell River Families. Next year, a group of students will be travelling to France during Spring Break to visit their partner and to make new partnerships. It is a rich and unique experience that enhances students learning to an amazing horizon. What a wonderful way to celebrate the completion of their program! A bientôt ! Eleonore, Alice, Annick, Gabriel, Anne-Elisabeth, Pierre, Charlotte, Selma, Sarah, Pauline, Louis, Vincent, Guillaume, Quentin and Jean-Baptiste. Contact Mme. Vaillancourt for more information.

Peer Support organized a great Drug and Alcohol Fair for the grade 7 students at Phoenix Middle School, May 9th, 2012. Thanks to all the students in Mrs. Lontayao`s class who worked so hard to have such a successful day! This was their last big project for the year, and we look forward to more exciting activities next year. Thank-you to Mrs. Lontayao for all of her work with this group of students this year.

Hockey Academy Carihi is pleased to announce that we will be running a Hockey Canada Skills Academy in the fall.

There will be a player/parent meeting on Monday, June 11th at 6:00 pm in the multi-purpose room at Carihi for those who are already registered to go over the schedule and related details of the program for the fall. There are a few spaces left, so if you are interested, please contact Mr. Toal at Carihi. Unfortunately, we are no longer accepting any new applications for goalies at this time.

RCMP Youth Academy Boot Camp

Career News

Carihi Secondary French Immersion Program, Student Exchange ~ 15 students and their teacher from Ecole Blomet of Paris, France

During the Easter weekend, three Carihi students participated in a challenging five-day RCMP Youth Academy boot camp in Gold River. Hosted by the Nootka Sound RCMP detachment and School District No. 84, the students were provided an opportunity to experience police training and the job functions of a regular member of the RCMP. This included conducting simulated arrests (with takedowns), investigations and presentations in a court of law. Students also got to see up-close the canine and aerial teams and special defence and weapons team. However, no boot camp would be complete without an unrelenting drill instructor that ensured the students worked as a team in everything from marching to doing push-ups in unison—the master corporal will not be forgotten. Stay tuned for next year’s camp. Sign up will start in January 2013.

FRIDAY, JUNE 8, 2012 | CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR |

Jakeway: Be sure of your facts first Continued from A9 City, staff, and councillors; not exactly a good first impression is it? Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely believe Jakeway indubitably has some very valid points to make; he is right that significant change is necessary and inevitable on many levels as Campbell River undergoes significant transformation. Things cannot stay the same but the way he goes about trying to communicate is so overbearing, destructive and so confrontational, that any substance is completely drowned out by his delivery. Moreover, some of what he says isn’t just incendiary, it’s false. If you are going to say things publicly, be sure of your facts first, because I have seen many occasions where you didn’t bother to check them. But that is his style, fly solo, because checking facts might actually mean communicating with people in a fruitful manner; a concept apparently foreign to him. Jakeway’s confrontational tone is reminiscent of loudmouth Toronto mayor Rob Ford who came into power attacking everything he could with reckless abandon. And where did it get him? Completely marginalized by council, staff and the citizens of Toronto who can’t believe they were duped by a buffoon and can’t wait for the end of the term. And that is exactly where Jakeway is headed if he doesn’t change directions quickly. In fact, I would suggest he is already there. He has a lot of damage control to do with staff, councillors and the citizens of Campbell River and residents should demand he start now. And it starts with an apology to all who he has been mercilessly attacking all year. Andrew Bailey Saskatoon

More on our outspoken mayor... Wow, an honest politician I’m concerned that people seem to criticize Mayor Jakeway for his approach to politics. Afterall, he campaigned on zero increase in taxes and was elected by the people aware of his platfor m. An honest politician. WOW, what a concept. Conversely, if the “gang of four” had run on a tax increase platform of the magnitude that they passed, it would have probably led to their defeat, except for Councillor Samson, who spend over $7,000 to get elected. Therein lies the difference. People in Campbell River seem to misunderstand the role of the Mayor. The Mayor is elected as an independent voice. Conversely, the school board elects their chair by their fellow trustees. Contrary to popular opinion, the Mayor is not a member of council, but a first among equals. Afterall, this is a free democratic country and the Mayor should have the right, as we all do, to speak freely

without being taken to task by members of his council. That’s his job. One small point for Mr. Jakeway though, he was quoted as saying that he was only speaking as an individual when he spoke at Rotary, not as the Mayor. Unfortunately, as our elected Mayor he gave up his right to speak as an individual at such meetings. Mary Storry should be careful what she wishes for. As a councillor in our former community we censured the mayor for similar behaviour and ultimately he ended up as the Minister of Health in the provincial government. She runs the risk of making a martyr of the Mayor. Sterling Campbell ●●●●

What have we gained with you as mayor? In today’s paper you are quoted as stating “You are not interested in how hard city managers are working, your interested in results.” I could not agree

more. With that in mind, I would like to hear from you. What have you delivered in the months you have served as our mayor? I have read about all the things you consider to be past mistakes made by city hall and how incompetent most of the managers and the majority of council are. You were doing all of this before we started paying you. What have we gained by putting you in the Mayor’s Chair? Bob Tanner ●●●●

Learn from our mistakes Reading various articles and letters to the editor, a lot of things come to mind. Some people seem to believe that looking to the past is dredging up old wounds, I disagree whole heartedly. As individuals we should learn from our mistakes or we are doomed to repeat them. I for one support our new mayor 110 per cent, he is showing us why our local government is ineffective and this can be Continued on A13

Drive Smart BC What are we thinking about when2X14 we drive? 2X14 What are we thinking about when we drive? More and more often I am convinced that we are thinking about anything but the driving task. Please be assured that when I say this I am giving drivers credit that they know how to drive CHEV properly in the first TYEE CHEV TYEE place. I was waiting at a red light watching drivers turn left around me when I began to ponder this. Most of the vehicles I observed turned into the wrong lane and all of those drivers failed to shoulder check and signal as they moved over. If another driver had overtaken them intent on using the outside lane or had decided to turn right from the other side, would these drivers have been able to avoid a collision? I suspect that their first awareness of any problem would have been the noise and sudden change of direction produced by the collision they were involved in. This is far too late! Awareness of the vehicles around you and anticipation of what their drivers might do are paramount to preserving your own safety as well as that of others. Defensive driving means following the rules so that others know what to expect of you and maintaining a constant awareness of what is around you. Focus only on where you are going and you are going to eventually have trouble. You may wish to consider this in the context of what the drivers around you might (or might not) be thinking.

Chamber to say thanks for choosing Campbell River I

n collaboration with the Campbell River Chamber’s 80th Anniversary celebrations, the Chamber will be conducting their first Business Thank-AThon on Tuesday. The Thank-A-Thon was conceived to recognize and celebrate our local businesses that have chosen Campbell River as their location to conduct their business. Local businesses create jobs and statistics suggest as high as 80 per cent of job creation comes from existing local businesses. It’s local businesses who support our community by giving back their time and financial support to local sports teams and events, to enhance our quality of life and they contribute greatly to a healthy local economy. It’s for these reasons that the Chamber and our community partners and volunteers are taking to the streets with a message of thanks and support to our local businesses and employers. “Supporting and retaining our existing local businesses here in our community is a priority,” says Colleen Evans, Chamber Executive Director, ”to ensure a healthy

future and progressive job creation to retain and attract our youth and a skilled workforce.” As part of the Business-Thank-A-Thon, a Business Walk will also take place as an important element of the activities planned for the day. Chamber directors, staff, community resource providers, and volunteers will be walking business to business throughout the day to thank them and invite a quick response to five key questions. The information gathered from the visits will provide a quick snapshot of key indicators on the business climate on that day in Campbell River. The random responses will be compiled by the Chamber and shared with the community. All Campbell River businesses will have

the opportunity to share their business climate feedback online and enter an online contest to win great prizes. More information about the business climate survey and links to other business related local resources will be available from the volunteer walking teams. “We look forward to sharing our message of support for local businesses,” says Kim Jarvis, Committee Chair, BusinessThank-A-Thon and local business owner and Chamber Director. “The opportunity to focus a day of support for business as a collaborative team of community organizations and volunteers clearly demonstrates a strong foundation to move forward on.” Welcome the chamber’s volunteer walking teams June 12 as they move throughout the downtown core with positive picketing signs and into businesses for a quick visit. The starting point for the visits for the first year will be those in the downtown core and moving out throughout other areas of Campbell River as time and volunteers permit. The intent for future years is to start the

More commentary on the mayor extrapContinued from A11 olated to show why or provincial and federal governments are ineffective as well. Too many fat cats that have carved out a comfy existence in a corner office drawing in big salaries and benefits with no real accountability, waiting for the Golden handshakes. Have you people forgotten the money that was spent just a few short years ago to get rid of the Fire Chief and others? Do you think the crisis in Europe happened over night? These things took time to grow

out of control as they are starting to here. Our Mayor and many of us realize you can not continue to gouge the tax payers without getting your house in order. Do we as Canadians have to change the way we do business? Damn right we do! If something is not working then change it, that was why I voted for the Mayor and it is too bad the “majority” of council still have their heads buried in the sand. Gerard Dalle Vedove ●●●●

RFQ issued for North Island Hospitals Project The North Island Hospitals Project is moving closer to the start of construction with the issuing this week of a Request for Qualifications for new state-

of-the-art acute care facilities in Campbell River and the Comox Valley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The issuing of the RFQ for the North Island Hospitals Project is great news for all residents of North Island,â&#x20AC;? said Don McRae, Comox Valley MLA on behalf of Health Minister Michael

de Jong. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a significant project that will serve the health-care needs of North Island communities for many years to come.â&#x20AC;? The RFQ is the first stage in the competitive selection process that invites interested teams to submit responses

indicating their interest in and qualifications for the project. The next step will be to identify a shortlist of up to three teams who will then be invited to submit proposals to design, build, finance and maintain the two hospitals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;VIHA is excited to be moving forward

with this phase of the North Island Hospitals Project, which marks the start of the work necessary to design and build these new facilities,â&#x20AC;? said Don Hubbard, VIHA board chair. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These two new hospitals will enhance quality of life for North Island residents by providing

innovative design and accessible, highquality care closer to home.â&#x20AC;? The North Island Hospitals Project includes a new 95-bed hospital in Campbell River and a new hospital in the Comox Valley with capacity for up to 153 beds. The capital cost of up to $600 million

A supportive work environment fosters independence and growth The Campbell River and District Association for Community Living’s employment program has been assisting people with developmental disabilities find meaningful employment for over 23 years. During that time, the organization has connected numerous businesses in the community with reliable, committed employees. The Campbell River Mirror is pleased to be able to present another in a series of articles profiling local businesses that have brought meaningful employment to people with developmental disabilities.

aving a support system in place is an important part of all people’s lives with and without disabilities. “When I first came to Campbell River, I wanted to work but I didn’t know who to ask for help. I was intimidated by the city,” says Norman Chamberlain. However, after attending NIC’s Employment Transition Program, he was introduced to the Campbell river and District Association for Community Living’s Supported Employment Program where he was given assistance to find employment. After a comprehensive job

search, he was hired at the Real Canadian Superstore as a general service clerk. “Now that I have a job, I feel I fit in more, like I’m an equal,” says Chamberlain who comes from Bella Bella, a small community located on the central coast. “Since I started working, I’m braver at getting around and doing things on my own.” Another topic of conversation that ignites a spark in Chamberlain’s eyes is when he makes reference to his coworkers, “They always tell me if I ever need to talk about anything, that they are there for me. They support me,” says Chamberlain

his training. Superstore’s General Manager Garry Ogrodnik says, “Positions like Norm’s are key as it’s a big loss if they don’t show up, work needs to be done.” He also says that in order to ensure their exceptional food standards are met, Chamberlain has to conduct fridge and freezer temperature checks several times a day. Creating opportunities for Chamberlain to make choices, so that he can learn from his mistakes or reap the benefits of his actions is another way Superstore makes the most of natural supports.

confident about what my job is. They tell me I can either do temperatures or check the bathrooms. I do the bathrooms to get them out of the way first; which also warms me up for the day. Sometimes I forget to sign that I cleaned the bathrooms, but then Adam will remind me; he taught me it’s important to sign, so that it proves our store is responsible for customer safety. Then I check temperatures, because they can’t be rushed. I like that I have a choice of which order I get the job done.” Perhaps it is the values of the management team, that the employees at Superstore get their insight into behaviors that make their workplace naturally supportive. The organization employs 8-10 people with diverse skills and abilities, some of which are full time. Ogrodnick describes how customers have taken him aside and thanked him for hiring those who possibly couldn’t get work elsewhere in the community. To which his response is, “No need to thank me, they are excellent employees.”

“At the end of the day Norman will call me on his way home, just to talk about what’s been done and what still needs to be done. He sets a good example for accountability. His confidence has increased significantly. At first he was a little shy, but now he’s more expressive and speaks openly to his coworkers. He’s also very polite and never leaves a customer hanging,” Ogrodnick says proudly. Superstore has a culture of engaging people with disabilities in activities and relationships that are typical to all people in an employment setting. This has helped Chamberlain experience a sense of independence and personal growth. While natural supports will change from context to context, Chamberlain is proof that all people can work, given that employers and coworkers open their doors and minds to people with diverse abilities.

ew to gardening? Wanna be? Take the “one and one” challenge to experience the fun and affordable way to put tasty food on your plate. “Ripe red tomatoes straight off the vine and strawberries right outside the back door remind us that freshness and superior taste are some of the rewards of growing your own food,” says Chelsea Holley, who led the charge to develop a small unused neighbourhood park space into the Laughing Willow Community Garden. “Gardening can also be therapeutic, fun and save you money. The beauty is you don’t have to go big or spend a whole lot of time doing it!” With gardening season officially begun, the “one and one” challenge encourages non-gardeners in particular to start small and enjoy success before branching out into bigger garden projects.

growing herbs in a sundeck pot or use a small space in the back yard or former veggie garden to grow one thing. “By not taking on too much, new gardeners will see how easy it is and how nice it is to eat something fresh and more flavorful right outside your door,” says Morgan Ostler, former Coun-

cillor, local food columnist and member of the City’s Agricultural Plan steering committee. The challenge is selfperpetuating, encouraging people to add another type fruit or vegetable to their garden the next year and three the year after and so on. “Growing things to eat and things

that look pretty take the same amount of work, and before you know it, you’ll reap the benefits of growing your own food all season long,” Holley adds. “This is a way to develop a whole new relationship with fresh food, and it’s a healthy habit to share with family members of all ages, and your neighbourhood.”

Young Campbell Riverite accentuates Quadra park acquisition the positive at War Amps seminar campaign gets a boost

arrett Warkentin, 4, of Campbell River, is back from The War Amps 2012 BC Child Amputee (CHAMP) Seminar in Victoria. Born a left arm amputee, Garrett attended the three-day seminar, which covered all aspects of growing up as an amputee, including the latest developments in artificial limbs, parenting an amputee child, dealing with teasing and bullying, and learning the importance of staying active. Along with his fellow Champs, Garrett attended the Amputees in Action session where they demonstrated their standard and recreational artificial limbs and devices. Garrett â&#x20AC;&#x153;accentuated the positiveâ&#x20AC;? by showing his special device that helps him with some of his favourite activities â&#x20AC;&#x201C; biking and gymnastics. He was also presented with a CHAMP Ambassador Certificate for conducting a War Amps PLAYSAFE presentation for his sisterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grade 1 and 2 class, and two displays at the local Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Health Fair. CHAMP is funded solely through public support of The War Amps Key Tag and Address Label Service. For more information, call 1-800-250-3030 or visit waramps.ca.

CBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Quirks and Q u a rk s h o s t B o b McDonald will help launch a high-profile campaign, June 16, to â&#x20AC;&#x153;save the heart of Quadra parks.â&#x20AC;? The campaign aims to raise $200,000 to help the provincial government purchase a 395 hectare property that joins the popular Small Inlet and Octopus Islands provincial parks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This property is crucial to the integrity of the two parks,â&#x20AC;? says Judy Leicester, a member of the Save the Heart of Quadra Parks committee.â&#x20AC;?The alternative is logging or development both of which will be visible from every vantage point, seriously com-

promising the existing parks.â&#x20AC;? The B.C. government recently signed a conditional $6.15 million purchase agreement for the lands, which it promised to acquire 16 years ago. The Ministry of the Environment is working on strategies to secure the required funds, and Quadra islanders are mounting the $200,000 fundraising compaign to contribute to the effort before the closing date of Sept. 28. McDonald, one of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best known science journalists, will speak at a fundraising dinner and silent auction at Quadraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Heriot Bay Inn on June 16. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Quadra businesses

and artists have contributed some exciting and beautiful items for the silent auction,â&#x20AC;? says Leicester. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A two day fully guided camping kayaking trip to the Octopus Islands Marine Park, a Tofino beach home and Quadra vacation rental cottages, all with spectacular views, are just a few of the items offered.â&#x20AC;? The Sierra Club of BC website (www. sierraclub.bc.ca) has a description of the auction items. Bids can be placed on line, by mail, or at the fundraising dinner. The land in question is known on the west coast as a prime marine destination. www.quadraparks.ca

Fish sciences centre gets federal funding Campbell River’s reputation as a major hub for marine finfish and shellfish aquaculture industries received a significant boost Saturday, thanks to federal funding announced by John Duncan, Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development, and Member of Parliament for Vancouver Island North. “This funding demonstrates our Government’s commitment to supporting research that has real-life economic applications for key local industries like aquaculture,” said Minister Duncan during community celebrations for Ocean’s Day at the Maritime Heritage Centre. “With this investment we are creating jobs and new economic opportunities here in Campbell River.” Western Diversification funding of $497,000 will allow the BC Centre for Aquatic Health Sciences Society (BC CAHS) to attain International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and Inter national Electro-technical Commission (IEC) 17025:2005 accreditation. Duncan made the announcement on behalf of Lynne Yelich, Minister of State for Wester n Economic

With the right credentials to screen aquatic animals and seafood products, BC CAHS will help local companies keep up with increasing world demand by meeting international export standards. “CAHS is pleased to be receiving funding for ISO certification today,” said Dr. Sonja Saksida, Executive Director, Centre for Aquatic Health Sciences. “This project will ultimately help the centre’s goal in improving the health and welfare of aquatic animals and the sustainability of our ecosystems.” This ISO certification has been a long time in coming for the BC CAHS, Dr. Saksida said. “We’ve been working on this proposal for several years,” she said.

Planning for Life Changes So you’re thinking about downsizing and moving

2X14

Are you getting tired of cutting the grass and shoveling snow? Are you uncomfortable lugging laundry baskets and groceries up and down stairs? Perhaps the thought of moving sounds good, but the thought of selling your home and moving to a smaller place overwhelms you. If so, you are not alone! Anne Delaney Making the decision to move to a smaller place is extremely difficult for many older adults. If you’ve lived in your home for several decades, then leaving it may feel like an enormous loss. If your children have moved on, it may feel like your house is all you have left. You may think that your house keeps you connected to those happy memories of years past. But none of that matters if your house is no longer safe for you. It is estimated that it takes a minimum of 80 hours to completely sort and pack an average home. This is an enormous task. It will be easier if you break the tasks of downsizing into small segments, which may begin with 15 minute sessions a couple of times throughout the day. The key is to take small steps, one drawer at a time, one box at a time. Share with your family and friends cherished items and heirlooms and take comfort in knowing that these possessions will be appreciated. If the prospect of tackling this on your own is just too much, you can hire a relocation company. When it comes to hiring a relocation specialist or moving yourself, deciding which is better is different for everyone. Usually the first factor is cost. But you must also factor in your time, the difficulty or complexity of the move, your ability, the distance, and who you have in your life to help you. Is time an issue? Do you have people in your life to help you? Can you organize all the packing materials, utility transfer, moving truck? The headaches of packing and moving everything yourself can be hugely reduced by hiring a relocation service. A relocation company can also work with your floor plans, to help you decide what will fit. They will help with downsizing and disposing of unwanted items, and create a plan of action and co-ordinate the whole move from start to finish. Have you all unpacked and moved in by suppertime. Making later life moves are never easy, but if you downsize to a smaller home before you need to make a move to a retirement community or care home, that move will be easier. The hardest move for most people is the break from the long-time family home, because of all the memories. Moving is a great time for personal growth and healing: when a person settles into their new home, they can have sense of satisfaction about the past and hope for the future. Reminiscing is a combination of a little grief and a lot of celebration.

Relay for Life: uniting for a common cause The Canadian Cancer Society’s biggest fundraiser, Relay for Life, kicks off tomorrow night.

This year the venue a n d t h e d ay h a s changed but the meaning behind the event is still the same.

Participants will celebrate cancer survivors, remember and honour loved ones lost to cancer, and fight back for a

future without cancer. Teams will gather on the lower ballfield at the Sportsplex from 7 p.m. - 7 a.m. and take turns walking or running laps around the field for 12 hours. Each team must have at least one member on the track at all times. The evening kicks off with inspiring speeches followed by a warm-up routine. Cancer survivors will have their own special lap around the track. As twilight falls (10 p.m.) the Luminary Ceremony takes place. This is a time to remember loved ones fighting cancer and to honour loved ones who have died from the disease.

The luminaries are candles placed in decorated bags with the names of cancer survivors and those who have lost their battle with cancer. The luminaries are placed around the relay track. Luminaries may be purchased at the track for $5 each and must contain a donated nonperishable food item. The food inside the luminary bags will be donated to the Campbell River food bank. Relay for Life participants can enjoy a food court, free photo booth, music by the Voices Three and Switchback, a 5 a.m. dance party with Stereo Fitness, and disc golf.

She was an incredible sister, aunt, great aunt and friend who made a great difference in many lives. The family would like to thank Doctor McFadden and Doctor Arnold, as well as the nurses and care givers at the Vancouver Island Health Authority South Team for their excellent care and thoughtfulness during this time. A Celebration of Judyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life for family and friends will be held sometime in the next two weeks. For those wishing, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society or the charity of your choice would be appreciated.

Marilyn Doreen Martin June 3, 2012

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Marilyn Doreen Martin, aged 70, on June 3, 2012 at her home in Campbell River following a lengthy illness. Marilyn is survived by her husband of 45 years, Stan, her children, Ross; Scott (Malia); and Sarah (Adrian) and the sparkles of her eyes- her four grandchildren, Breanna, William, Alexander, and Leonard. She is also survived by her brother Alan (Suzanne) and sister in law Peggy. Marilyn was born and raised in Vancouver, B.C. and after marrying Stan in 1967, they moved around B.C. for work, until they settled in Abbotsford and then Chilliwack, B.C. before moving to Campbell River in 2008. Marilyn spent many fun afternoons at the Chilliwack River Campground, having Appy hour with her fellow campers! She was also a fun loving Red Hatter and enjoyed the socializing. She held a variety of jobs, including Director of Activities for a seniors home, and working in group homes for the disabled. After retiring, Marilyn and Stan developed a yearn for traveling and went to Mexico, Europe, and on several cruises. Marilyn was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and friend. She truly gave of herself to those she cared about and worked hard to help others out. Special thanks goes out to the medical day care staff at Chilliwack and Campbell River Hospitals who provided excellent care to Marilyn, as well as to the palliative care team members who supported her through her ďŹ nal weeks. A celebration of her life will be held at a later date in Campbell River for family and friends. Those wishing to make a donation, please do so to the Heart and Stroke Foundation in your community.

BC Bike Race returns to give Campbell River another shot in the arm KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A gruelling mountain bike race, featuring hundreds of riders from around the world, is returning to Campbell River for a second straight year. Last year, the BC Bike Race cycled through Campbell River for the first time since its inception in 2007. Organizers were so impressed with the city that they decided to return. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We feel that Campbell Riverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extensive and diverse network for mountain bike trails has been a great addition to the BC Bike Race,â&#x20AC;? said Malina

Parmar, director of production for BC Bike Race, in a report to city council. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Welcoming BC Bike Race has been an excellent way for Campbell River to promote these local gems and expose the city as an adventure tourism destination to the mountain bike world.â&#x20AC;? Seventy-five per cent of the 525 cyclists who will compete this year come from outside of B.C., opening the door to international marketing opportunities. The riders will race in and around Campbell River on July 2 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; day two of the event which will take cyclists from Vancouver to Whistler via Vancouver Island,

the Sunshine Coast and the Sea to Sky corridor. Each day riders put in 70 kilometres of biking then spend the night at a base camp in each of the host communities. Campbell River will accommodate the riders at Robert Ostler (Foreshore) Park. The city also waived rental fees at the Community Centre which organizers expect to use for meals and award presentations. Prior to that, the cyclists will pedal 33 kilometres through the Snowden Demonstration Forest, tackling the Lost Frog, Mudhoney Pass and Riley

Lake trails. The BC Bike Race crew was introduced to Campbell River through one of the event managers, Martin Ready, who was bor n and raised in Campbell River. Organizers, who liked what they saw, spoke as a delegation to city council in October 2010 to seek out support for the event and the rest is history.

Tom Skinner, BC Bike Race general manager, blogged daily during last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s edition of the race and had high praise for the Campbell River leg. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thanks to an array of amazing trails, and a warm and welcoming community, Campbell River made its mark on the BC Bike Race with style,â&#x20AC;? he wrote on his blog during last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good news for the city because BC Bike Race participants not only help promote the community but also bring in revenue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our philosophy is that we wish to support the communities that support us and this is reflected in where we spend our money,â&#x20AC;? Parmar said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On average, our expenditure on food is over $40,000 per day and this is entirely

with local businesses. Most of the racers and their support teams purchase extra meals and snacks throughout the day, adding up to thousands of extra dollars spent at local businesses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Further, numerous participants upgrade from tenting accommodations to hotel rooms each night, allowing us to involve more business.â&#x20AC;?

he’s here to learn new techniques. “I’m trying to redefine my roll…and I’ve got the roll master to teach me!” Christensen says with a grin. “I’m working up here right now, but I would have driven up just for the lesson.” Rolling is one of the cornerstones of Greenland kayaking, a sport today, but a way of life for northern hunters for more than a thousand years. Both Dubside and Bueckert delight in

telling the history of how the wives of the hunters would sew animal hide spray skirts around their men as they sat in their kayaks, waiting to head out to the sea. “If they fell out, they were dead,” Bueckert explains. Using thin-bladed paddles which offered little wind or water resistance, the hunters chased after whales, seals and walrus. Hunting them took great weaponry and paddling skills, and that’s when

the rolling techniques come in handy. They learned to roll and right themselves quickly in the freezing waters, and sometimes they did this with one hand on the paddle while the other clutched a killing knife in the other. Today, there’s little need for sustenance hunting, but Greenland-style kayaking lives on as a sport that boasts more than 30 different types of rolls. Continued on Page 38

Kayak: Greenland-style sees a resurgence on Vancouver Island Continued from Page 37

“There’s a bunch,” says Allan Dunham of Campbell River, the gold medal roller at last year’s North American Greenland Kayak Competition in Issaquah, Washington. Dressed in a warm dry suit, Dunham sits in his narrow kayak on the calm estuary to demonstrate the brick roll, the spine roll, the hand roll, the elbow roll, the elbow crook roll, and the plain old standard roll. “Some of them are useful and some of them (devised) by some guys just playing around,” Dunham explains, back on the beach.

And there’s more to Greenland kayaking than just rolling. The inter national competitions feature distance racing, harpoon throwing and rope gymnastics, known as Qajaasaarneq. “Qajaasaarneq is an excercise and training system performed on a double length of horizontally suspended rope,” Dubside explains on his website (www.dubside.net). “Each exercise consists of a specified position from which you must bring yourself completely around the ropes and return to the starting position. There are a total of 74 different moves, all with Greenlandic

names and point values based on the degree of difficulty.” There are no ropes set up today, just three guys rolling canoes in the mouth of the Campbell River. Bueckert watches with delight and is hopeful more people take up

the sport. “I’m trying to start a kids program here in Campbell River. Hopefuly we’ll have a handful of kids who will start this winter and we have time booked at the indoor pool,” he says. “There’s a resurgence

» Carihi School 2012 Graduates Principal·s Message As we get closer to Ӿnishing another school year, our thoughts turn towards our graduating class and the upcoming celebrations we have planned for them. June becomes a very busy time for Grade 12 students as they prepare for exams, Ӿnish courses and partake in the many activities that year-end brings. At Carihi, we are very proud of our graduating class and the contributions they have made to our school over the past 3 years. They have contributed to our school culture by accepting and celebrating diversity, working diligently at their studies and getting involved in our many extracurricular activities. They have been good ambassadors and representatives of all of the things that make Carihi a great place to learn. Our graduates will take this time to reӿect on thirteen years of schooling and their thoughts will turn to all of the people who have helped shape them into the people they have become – parents, teachers, coaches, and extended family – and it is our hope that the people closest to them share in their celebrations. Their thoughts will also turn to what is next for them and while their future paths will be as diverse as the ones they took to get here, we hope they follow their passions with great anticipation and spirit. We are counting on you to be the leaders of tomorrow and keep our community vibrant and prosperous. My sincere hope for all of you is that the skills you have learned here at Carihi will serve you well in the future and that you have the tools to follow your dreams. Keep your spirit of learning and bring enthusiasm to all that you do. Please take time to give back to the community that has given much to you. To all of our grads, I wish you all the best and remember – once a Tyee, always a Tyee! Please stay in touch.

CHRISTIAN SCHOOL

To our CRCS Grads speciӾcally, I would like to highlight a few of your wonderful accomplishments this year. As your new principal, I had the pleasure of observing you on in-school sports and orientation day, and I was impressed with your leadership skills and caring attitudes for, and involving others in, all school activities. You showed great organizational abilities, enthusiasm, and hard work. You showed genuine care for new students, and stepped up to lead in our service days and school trips. I was impressed with Karen and Anna·s zest for life on our Esperanza mission·s trip, and their positive inӿuence on the whole team. Our Grads led unselӾshly by example, on our school wide beach cleanup day, especially as you worked with our Grade 1·s by teaching them how to serve well, even in the wind and rain. Many of you stepped up to a greater opportunity to serve, by taking a weekend to share God and material resources with the homeless and disadvantaged in the East Hastings area of Vancouver. Through these varied experiences, you have shown us all what it means to be truly caring Christian youth, committed to serving your fellow man in many situations.

David Palmer

My Ӿnal remembrance of your leadership in CRCS is in the way you led your volleyball teams to glory, showing perseverance, hard work, and dedication to the team and a cause. As you leave the comfort of this school and high school life, be challenged with the tremendous new world out there, waiting for people just like you to take up the mantle of truly caring leadership. Whether this occurs in education or the business arenas, in the arts or sports, God has a wonderful direction for your life-----and only YOU can Ӿll that one special niche He has for you! “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding (wisdom); in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight” Proverbs 3:5-6 NIV Remember our school motto: Truth, Purity, and Excellence! God bless you richly as you serve Him by serving others!

You’ve got your whole life ahead of you. Don’t throw yours – or someone else’s away. Remember what you’ve learned while celebrating at graduation time. Drinking and driving cuts short your hopes and dreams. Protect yourself and others by using your head and celebrating responsibly.

» Timberline School 2012 Graduates Principal·s Message This month we are a focusing our ughts on the 2011-2012 school thoughts year end and Graduation. You can be sure that the remainder of the year will be very busy, with many yearend activities. June exams are just around the corner (June 19 - 26th) and our grade twelves are becoming a larger focus as we head towards graduation night on June 27th. At Timberline we have a lot to be thankful for, a dedicated staӽ, a supportive school district, an involved community and caring students. We are extremely proud of our grade twelves and we will truly miss them as they move on to the next phase of their lives. They continue to drop by daily to tell us of university acceptance letters, summer jobs and of successful scholarship and bursary applications. This year·s graduating class is continuing on with the tradition of reducing Dry Grad prizes and contributing left over money to their Grad Legacy Fund. The fund is designed to help others in need, near and afar. This has turned into a very noble gesture and tradition here at Timberline. My sincere hope for all of you is that the years you have spent here at Timberline have given you the tools to prepare you for the next phase of your life. Please keep in mind that a strong sense of curiosity and a love of learning will serve you well, whether you choose to enter the world of work, travel or carry on with post-secondary education.
